NWSB Editor Bryant Knox wonders if the Portland Trail Blazers have found their newest NBA rival. In a recently matchup with the Golden State Warriors, a fight broke out that sparked some bad blood. Both teams are finding success, and both teams have star performers such as Damian Lillard, Lamarcus Aldridge, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala and David Lee.
Weekly Portland Trail Blazers player spotlight – Week 4
NWSB Editor Bryant Knox recaps the previous week's star player for the Portland Trail Blazers. In Week 4, honors go to Wesley Matthews. In contests against the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors, Wes averaged 15 points and 5.5 assists while shooting 61.5 percent. LaMarcus Aldridge is a close second choice for Player of the Week, but Matthews has been too hot to ignore for Rip City.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Golden State Warriors prediction and preview
Bryant Knox previews the Portland Trail Blazers' March 30 matchup against the Golden State Warriors.Portland made a major comeback the last time these two played to make it a game late, but a strong start would have avoided having to do that. The key matchup in this one is going to be at the point guard position, as Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard have proven they can carry their teams. LaMarcus Aldridge is out.
Where does Damian Lillard rank among season's best performances?
NWSB insider and Portland Trail Blazers blogger Bryant Knox ranks Damian Lillard's most recent showing among the best performances of the 2012-13 season. Lillard made his homecoming against the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 11, and he grabbed the attention of the national media with his career-high 37 points. LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum and J.J. Hickson also make the list.
Portland's rally comes up short against Warriors
NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson talks about Portland's loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. The loss to the Warriors snapped Portland's four-game win streak that saw them become one of the bigger threats in the NBA and Western Conference. This is not to say, however, that losing to Golden State is a travesty. The Warriors are currently off to one of their best starts in franchise history; and with a record that stands at 23-12, they are right in the mix for a playoff spot come the end of the year.

WikipediaThe most important issue in this year's election is the economy.
Unfortunately, this topic has now been "politicized," which means that you can't talk about it without being cheered or jeered by fans of each political team.
But the economy is much more important than this year's election or either political team.
And both teams are responsible for the mess we're in--and so, I am sorry to say, are the rest of us.
The sad truth is that fixing that mess is going to take decades, regardless of who's in power.
But we have to fix it. Or we're going to become a nation of a few million aristocrats and 300 million serfs.
The first step is to get past the political blame-game and understand what's wrong.

LDO regulator PCB design question
The attached image shows 4 variations of a small and simple PCB design for an adjustable LDO regulator such as the LT1084 or LT1085 and would be used to power the smaller Tripath chip amps like the SI, amp3, etc. Can anyone with PCB design experience tell me which layout would be best or how a layout could be improved? The first design only uses the bottom layer (in green). The other three designs use the top layer (red/orange color) for power traces and bottom layer as the ground plane.
I tried to make them as compact as possible not only to keep traces short but because I'd like to house this little fellow in a small chassis with the amplfier. This allows the transformer, rectifier, and filter caps to be situated in their own separate case. The dimensions of the design with the largest ground plane is only 1" by 2". The smaller ones are only 1" by 1.75". The pot allows the output voltage to be adjusted and the small cap right next to the pot is for 120Hz ripple rejection. The smaller bypass caps across the larger bulk caps could be small value ceramics or even MKP or MKT types if the lead spacing is right. No protection diode is necessary with the LT108X regulators for this type of operation so I chose not to include one. Thanks for any help. |

Electrons are yellow and more is better!

All layouts will probably do but groundplanes looks nicer and give you some addtional reduction of impedance, so use groundplanes!

Evaluation of inactive adults' ability to maintain a moderate-intensity walking pace
Rowe, David and Kang, Minsoo and Sutherland, Rona and Holbrook,, Elizabeth and Barreira, Tiago V. (2013) Evaluation of inactive adults' ability to maintain a moderate-intensity walking pace. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 16 (3). 217–221. ISSN 1440-2440
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
Objectives. To determine self-selected brisk walking pace in currently inactive adults and investigate the efficacy of rhythmic auditory stimuli to regulate moderate intensity walking. Design. A single-sample controlled laboratory design. Methods. Currently inactive adults (N=25; 76% female; age=34±13 yr) completed a moderate intensity treadmill walking trial, during which cadence and steady-state O2 were measured. Participants then completed a 10-min self-paced "brisk" walk followed by a 10-min moderate-paced walk, prompted by a clip-on metronome matched to the treadmill cadence. Data were analyzed using RM t-test, Cohen's d, Bland-Altman plot, and one-way RM ANOVA. Results. Mean energy expenditure and cadence during the treadmill trial were 3.88±0.53 METs and 114±8 steps•min-1. During self-paced brisk walking cadence was 124±8 steps•min-1. Cadence during metronome-paced walking was slower for all participants (114±8 steps•min-1; p < 0.05, d = 1.23). From the Bland-Altman plots, 23 participants walked within ±3 steps•min-1 of the metronome cadence, and the other 2 participants were within ±10 steps•min-1. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) among the minute-by-minute cadences across the 10 min of either condition. Conclusion. Energy expenditure during 2.7 mph treadmill walking was higher than 3 METs. Inactive adults walk at a higher cadence during "brisk" walking, compared to walking at a metronome-guided moderate pace. While the natural walking pace of inactive adults was at an intensity known to produce health benefits, and was maintained for 10 min, the use of rhythmic auditory feedback is an effective method for regulating walking at a prescribed intensity in inactive adults.

AKRON, Ohio — The family of a slain father and son in Ohio say they wanted to spare the suspect's mother the heartache of possibly having him sentenced to death.
The members of the Akron family say they considered the feelings of 20-year-old Robert Pitts' mother in agreeing to spare the man from a trial with a plea agreement Monday that saw him sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole.
Akron Beacon Journal reports that Pitts pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated murder in last summer's stabbing deaths of 53-year-old Bryan May and his 20-year-old son, Jeremy Putra.
Prosecutors say Pitts had been living with the men and lashed out at them when they told him he had to leave. He was arrested after fleeing to Chicago afterward.

Many moons ago, I worked as a travel agent. I had a fabulous time traveling around the world and taking pictures of just about anything that represented a destination's culture. My globetrotting days came to an end when I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming an entrepreneur.
On an unusually warm day in December 2001, I was walking on the Boston Common with my camera ready to capture the beautiful city sights surrounding me. There were creative pictures waiting to be taken everywhere I looked! I wondered, how many of these photo opportunities go unnoticed by locals and visitors? Suddenly, inspiration struck! I am going to start a photo walking tour business in Boston: one that provides historical commentary and creative photography tips. And that's how PhotoWalks began... with an idea and a passion for capturing creative pictures.
That day in the park changed my life. I had no idea where my entrepreneurial dream was going to take me and prepared myself for an adventurous journey. On May 1, 2002, PhotoWalks was launched with only 2 tours. In 2005, Random House published my book, Boston in Photographs. Today, there are 6 tours, Photo Scavenger Hunts and Photo Workshops on the PhotoWalks calendar.
The PhotoWalks concept has received 5 star rave reviews on Trip Advisor and extensive media coverage. Each year I have many new and memorable experiences. My greatest joy is meeting so many wonderful people from all over the world. We meet as strangers and bond after touring Boston for less than two hours.
As a professional photographer with over 15 years of experience photographing people, weddings, special occasions and the nooks and crannies of villages, towns and cities around the world, I'd like to share my experiences and show you how to see and think creatively through photography. As observant photographers, we gain a deeper appreciation for our surroundings--resulting in empowering, eye-opening experiences that are life-changing.
Thank you for visiting the PhotoWalks website. Hope to see you on tour!
Saba Alhadi, Founder

I have a pair of regular Blunt 29's that are a few years old. These are the 28mm rims and not the narrower SL.
I see that Velocity has updated the Blunt to run better with tubeless.
Currently running mine tubeless with the Bontrager tubeless strips.
Rear rim has developed cracks at the eyelets.
2 questions:
1. Is the new Blunt the same ERD as the old rim? Do you still have to use the Bontrager strips?
2. Should I make the switch to Arch Ex instead?

Dyer holds a Ph.D. in English literature and has published extensively on fiction, poetry, film, and television. He is also a freelance university teacher, writer, and educational consultant. In this essay, he discusses "Walk Your Body Down" as a poem that explores the speaker's realization that leading a controlled life, a wholly structured life, is what denies him access to the experiences of walking his body through a richly textured, albeit often painful, world.
Lyric poetry stresses emotional responses to personal struggles and to the fears associated with living in the contemporary world. For the speaker in J. T. Barbarese's "Walk Your Body Down" these fears come from a fragmenting sense of self and from a world that is no longer a familiar place.

Hey. I'm an easygoing guy who works full time, looking for a place for the year with people around same age (20s-30s). I've lived with people before so I know how to be a good housemate. I'm clean and respectful of others in the house. I like sports, attempting to cook, Netflix binges etc etc, all the usual stuff. Would be great to live with people with similar interests. Not looking for a party house though. Let me know if you think I might fit!
I'm quiet, reliable, and will keep my mess confined to my room. Plus I'll hardly ever be there. Just need a place where I can stash my clothes and sleep between jobs. I'm doing casual work at a few childcare centres and am jobsearching for weekend work.
Hi! My name is Deep Sharma and I'm 29 years old. I'll been living in Melbourne for last 7 years and now going to move around Albury and wodonga area for at least 2 years.

Tony Moly GT04 Neptune
This mani is Tony Moly GT04 from the Galaxy Collection. Tony Moly is a Korean brand (not distributed in the US as far as I know). I ordered the whole collection on eBay for $10 a bottle. This is totally unique and amazing. It's a dense green and gold glitter in a dark green base with green hex glitter. This polish eats top coat. I heartily recommend buying it if you live in Asia, visit Korea, or don't mind ordering overseas polishes on the internet like me.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of polish, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
These pictures were taken indoors with artificial light.
Korean brand,
Tony Moly

On the penalties and the outcome of Game 3:
"Not happy taking that many penalties. It doesn't matter if you agree with the calls or not. It doesn't really have any impact on anything."
On whether he's surprised that there were a glut of penalties called late:
"They're calling stick fouls and they're calling penalties that they think are automatic calls. Nothing surprises me."
On the benefits of returning to Los Angeles between Games 3 and 4:
"Trying to get some guys healed up. It's not easy. The more time gives the player more time."
On the top line's lack of production:
"Which is our top line? [Reporter: The Kopitar, Brown, Williams line.] Well, Richards' line has produced more in the playoffs than Kopi's line, so it's who you like most is your top line. I don't think you can get by with a "top line" – one top line. I think we're playing against a team with two top lines, and we need our two top lines, without having our top checking centerman, we need those two lines to be very productive, and I think if I look at the series, just thinking about it, I think we've scored four even strength goals, and I think Richards' line has scored three and Lewie and Tyler's scored one last night. So that's four in the series."
On the Kopitar line:
"I just said, if we've scored four even strength goals in the series, and they haven't scored one, then I'd say that we expect more."
On what Kopitar's line needs to do, other than putting "the puck in the net":
"It's tough to score in playoffs. It's a lot tougher. There's not much space out there, and you've got to be a great competitor and you've got to be willing to put the puck at the net and you've got to be willing to go to the net."
On Quick's frustration at the end of Game 3:
"Generally teams talk about in playoffs, especially when they're the Conn Smythe winner on the defending champion team, I'm going to assume if I was coaching against them, that I'm going to say shoot lots because percentages, give us your better chance and get as much traffic as you can. So I think San Jose has that mindset, as St. Louis did last series because both teams, if you look at it, five-on-five during the season did not have a goals-for potential, so you're trying to get your team to shoot more, and you're trying to get players to go to the net more. I think that the last series, there was some contact made with Jonathan and in this series there is. [Reporter: Do you share that frustration?] No, I think he's got to handle that. He can't be frustrated. That's a byproduct of being a great goaltender."
On Tanner Pearson's debut:
"I thought he was fine. I mean, we were trying to get a few more minutes out of him, obviously, than we got out of who we had in before. Just as the game worked out, because of the way the third period was with penalties and so forth, we didn't use him. The shifts he got, he played fine. I said it after the game. What's the big deal? He's played in bigger games than that. He represented his country at World Junior last year as a significant part of it. So I don't think that last night's game would've any bigger for him than those."
On using Trevor Lewis at center:
"We used several different players at several different positions, including Lewie."

Development of a WLAN Based Monitoring System for Group Activity Measurement in Real-time
In recent years, epidemiological evidence suggesting the health benefits of a physically active lifestyle has risen. It is, however, not always easy for individuals to personally recognize the optimal conditions for exercise and physical activity. Wearable acceleration based pedometers have become widely used in estimating the amount of physical activity and to a limited extent, providing information regarding exercise intensity, but they have never been used to assess adaptation to exercise. In order to realize simultaneous activity monitoring for multiple users exercising outdoors, the authors developed a prototype wireless LAN based system.

NGC 300 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is one of the closest galaxies to the Local Group, and probably lies between us and the Sculptor Group. It is the brightest of the five main spirals in the direction of the Sculptor Group.[2] It is inclined at an angle of 42° when viewed from Earth and shares many characteristics of the Triangulum Galaxy.[3]

Nearby galaxies and group information
NGC 300 and the irregular galaxy NGC 55 have traditionally been identified as members of the Sculptor Group, a nearby group of galaxies in the constellation of the same name. However, recent distance measurements indicate that these two galaxies actually lie in the foreground.[4] It is likely that NGC 300 and NGC 55 form a gravitationally bound pair.[5]
Distance estimates
In 1986, Allan Sandage estimated the distance to NGC 300 to be 5.41 Mly (1.66 Mpc).[6] By 1992, this had been updated to 6.9 Mly (2.1 Mpc) by Freedman et al.[2] In 2006, this was revised by Karachentsev et al. to be ±0.3 Mly ( 7.0±0.10 Mpc).[7] At about the same time, the 2.15tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method was used to produce an estimate of ±0.4 Mly ( 5.9±0.13 Mpc) using edge detection and 1.82±0.4 Mly ( 6.1±0.12 Mpc) using maximum likelihood.[2] These results were consistent with estimates using near-infrared photometry of 1.87Cepheid variables by Gieren et al. 2005 that provided an estimate of ±0.2 Mly ( 6.1±0.07 Mpc).[2] Combining the recent TCGB and Cepheid estimates the distance to NGC 300 is estimated at 1.88±0.23 Mly ( 6.07±0.07 Mpc).[a] 1.86
On a CCD image obtained on May 14, 2008, amateur astronomer L.A.G. Berto Monard discovered an interesting bright optical transient (OT) in NGC 300 that is designated NGC 300-OT.[8] It is located at RA: 00h 54m 34.552s and DEC: −37° 38′ 31.79″[9] in a spiral arm containing active star formation.[10] Its broad-band magnitude was 14.3 in that image. An earlier image (from April 24, 2008), taken just after NGC 300 reemerged from behind the Sun, evidenced an already brightening OT at ~16.3 magnitude.[10] No brightening was detected on a February 8, 2008 image or on any earlier ones.[10] The transient's peak measured magnitude was 14.69 on May 15, 2008.[10]
At discovery, the transient had an absolute magnitude of MV ≈ −13, making it faint in comparison to a typical core-collapse supernova but bright in comparison to a classical nova.[8][10] Additionally, the photometric and spectroscopic properties of the OT imply that it is not a luminous blue variable either.[10] Since its peak, brightness dropped smoothly through September 2008 while becoming continuously redder.[10] After September 2008, brightness continued to fall at a lower rate in the optical spectrum but with strong Hα emissions.[10] Further, the optical spectrum is mostly made up of fairly narrow Hydrogen Balmer and Ca II emission lines coupled with strong Ca II H&K absorption.[8] Research into historical Hubble images provide an accurate upper bound on the progenitor star's brightness.[8] This suggested a low-mass main sequence star as progenitor with the transient resulting from a stellar merger similar to red Galactic nova V838 Monocerotis.[8] Analysis of historical images of the area of the OT suggest with 70% certainty that the progenitor formed in a burst of stars around 8–13 Myr ago and implies the progenitor's mass to be 12–25 M⊙ assuming the OT is due to an evolving massive star.[9]
However, in 2008 a bright mid-infrared progenitor to the transient was discovered in historical Spitzer data. This was a star that was obscured by dust, with energy distribution analogous to a black-body of R ≈ 300 AU and radiating at T ≈ 300 K with Lbol ≈ ×106 L⊙. This demonstrated that the transient was associated with an energetic explosion of a low-mass ≈ 10 M⊙ star. The transient's low luminosity as compared to typical core-collapse supernova, combined with its spectral attributes and dust covered properties, make it nearly identical to NGG 6946's SN 2008S.[8]
The spectrum of NGC 300-OT observed with Spitzer shows strong, broad emission features at 8 μm and 12 μm. Such features are also seen in Galactic carbon-rich protoplanetary nebulae.[8]
SN 2010da
On May 23, 2010, Monard discovered another transient object of 16th magnitude, denoted as SN 2010da.[11] The optical transient was detected 15".9 west and 16".8 north the center of the galaxy at coordinates 00 55 04.86 -37 41 43.7.[12]
Two sets of independent follow-up spectroscopy data suggested that this was again another optical transient rather than a supernova, possibly an outbursting luminous blue variable star according to one spectrum,[13][14] as earlier predicted from the nature of the candidate mid-infrared progenitor.[15] The transient faded by 0.5-0.7 mag in 9 days, much faster than the 2008 transient in NGC 300.[16]
Binary black hole system
The x-ray source at the core of NGC 300 is designated NGC 300 X-1.[17] Astronomers speculate that NGC 300 X-1 is a new kind of Wolf-Rayet black hole binary system similar to the confirmed such system IC 10 X-1.[17] Their shared properties include an orbital period of ~30 hours and x-ray brightness of ~1×1038 ergs.[17]

EXCLUSIVE-Spain's bad bank close to big land sale as disposals pick up
* Sareb close to auctioning 350 mln euro portfolio - source
By Daniel Bases
NEW YORK, Sept 24 Nigeria's fledgling sovereign wealth fund on Monday completed investment allocations for the 20 percent of the $1 billion it is setting aside to guard against commodity price shocks, its chief executive said.
Nigeria, Africa's top oil producer and most populous nation, established the Sovereign Investment Authority (SIA) in 2011 in an effort to manage resources that economists say have often been squandered in the past.
"The key to sovereign wealth funds is in the consistent contribution going forward," Uche Orji, the SIA's chief executive officer, said on the sidelines of the Africa Investor conference in New York.
The SIA is dwarfed by Norway's fund of $737 billion and Saudi Arabia's fund of $676 billion, according to data collected by the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute.
Of the $200 million, 25 percent was allocated to U.S. Treasuries and 75 percent to investment grade corporate bonds, he said. Credit Suisse Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and UBS are managing the money in what the SIA calls the 'Stabilization Fund.'
Orji, who left a job as a managing director in UBS' equities division in New York a year ago to move back to Lagos to head up the SIA, said the stabilization segment is fully funded.
Twice delayed in its launch, the SIA has faced political opposition from powerful state governors who want oil savings distributed for spending on projects rather than kept by the federal government, a move they consider unconstitutional.
In addition to the Stabilization Fund, Nigeria is placing 32.5 percent of the overall $1 billion fund into what the SIA calls a 'Future Generations Fund' and 32.5 percent into a 'Nigeria Infrastructure Fund.' The remaining 15 percent of assets are unallocated.
By the second quarter of 2014 Orji expects to have both chosen the asset managers for the Future Generations Fund and have it fully allocated.
"We are targeting a return of 400 basis points over the U.S. consumer price index for the Future Generations Fund and 500 basis points over (the same index) for the Infrastructure Fund."
Nigeria pumps around 2 million barrels of oil a day, but much of that money is wasted on corruption and a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy, economists say.
Oil theft is another problem. An estimated 100,000 barrels per day of oil was stolen from pipelines in the Niger Delta in the first quarter of this year, a report by the London-based Chatham house, recently said.
In sub-Saharan Africa, Botswana's is the biggest sovereign wealth fund at $6.9 billion, followed by Angola at $5 billion. Nigeria is now third in the region.
The $1 billion of seed capital is "not inconsequential", said Orji, a Harvard Business School graduate who worked at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan in London as well as UBS.
"It is a healthy balance between what I think is a reasonable start up capital, but it is also time for you to gradually invest and make sure you fine-tune your processes," he said.

Evening temperatures in the mid teens aren't conducive to grilling but my husband remains undeterred. Lately he has taken to lighting the gas grill, letting it warm up, then pulling it up to the patio doors. He then stands half inside, half outside, like a fencer trying to parry, with the door closed up against his chest. When the grill no longer needs hands-on attention, he steps inside and shuts the glass door, keeping an eye on the grill from the comfort of the kitchen.
When he's finished cooking, he turns the burners off and wheels the grill back to its normal place on the opposite side of the deck. Of course in order to do this, one has to keep the deck clear of ice and snow.
I'm not recommending this method (I am the daughter of a fireman, after all), but it strikes me as amusing the lengths some men will go to for grilled meat.

Spring training has begun ... sort of
Here in beautiful Tempe, Ariz., where it is rainy and cold and virtually no players have stopped by the ballpark.
Reporting day? It's a myth.
The players just have to have physicals today, and that is happening at a location miles away from here. Players aren't likely to even step inside the clubhouse if there's no work to be done on the field, and given the rain, there isn't.
So far Alberto Callaspo, Brandon Sisk and Fernando Caberera have stopped by, and all are in the best shape of their lives. Actually, Callaspo said he's gained about five pounds from working out this winter, and I didn't actually ask Sisk and Cabrera, but it's safe to assume that every player is in "the best shape of my life" when spring training starts. Or so they say.

I've now had four Thanksgivings in Samoa and every one of them have been special. This year, as has been the tradition, Peace Corps gathered at the official residence of the U.S. Charge de Affairs. Although I'm not officially Peace Corps this year, I was still fortunate to be able to attend. Chad Berbert, the Charge de Affairs and his predecessor, Robin Yeager have always been great about welcoming Peace Corps Volunteers and staff into their house during a time of year when many of us turn our thoughts to our families.
This year when I arrived I was pulled aside by Chad and asked if I would say grace before the meal. I guess word is getting around that I'm planning to apply to the seminary because I've been called on more lately for these types of things. It was a great honor and I was happy to start our gathering by offering thanks to God.
Every year I am amazed at the variety and quality of food that comes together for this feast, given the fact that we are on an island a long ways from where any Turkeys are! The table was packed from one end to the other and adjacent was a round table packed with pies and other good deserts. I had taken a vegetables tray for my contribution. Vegetables seemed to be the most popular item, right behind the mashed potatoes. Volunteers become a bit deprived of fresh vegetables living in the rural villages.
Chad took time to acknowledge the members of Group 83 who were leaving after their two years of service, as well as Lilli, who is from my group, Group 82, after her 3rd year extension. They were each awarded with a certificate of appreciation signed by the Ambassador to Samoa and New Zealand. Although he wasn't able to attend because of other commitments, he has always shown a great deal of support for Peace Corps here in Samoa. Each of the volunteers also got a medal. I had gotten the same certificate and medal last year so it brought back good memories and reminded me that a whole year had passed.
Overall, it was a great afternoon with friends who love our country and also have come to love this country of Samoa. Many of us have enjoyed our time here, although I'm sure many will be looking forward to next year when we are able to celebrate the day with family once again in the States.
Lilli from Group 82 after nearly completing her 3 years in Samoa. Here she is with Peace Corps Country Director, Dale Withington and Charge de Arriars, Chad Berbert.

Authorities arrested a Maryland teenager who is charged with making threats of a mass shooting at a high school. He's accused of impersonating another student while sending a threatening message to more than 100 people via Xbox Live.
A Union County, New Jersey website says the teen is accused of stealing a fellow classmate's Xbox Live handle and using the account to spread the false warnings of the attack, writing he "was going to bring a gun to school the following day and would be shooting fellow students."
Parents notified authorities, and detectives tracked the student who owns the offending Xbox Live account. The student said he was innocent, and detectives found their suspect by checking Microsoft's user name logs. Authorities determined that the message was just a prank.

Dear Slim Lyrics
Artist: KJ-52
Album: Collaborations
Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin
My name ain't Stan son, nah we've never met and
My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now
Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin
Why I took the time, the who what where and why and
The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting
What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding
And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and
See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite
I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different
What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now
What makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it
See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it
And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it
What good's all kinds of dough
Plus all kinds of flow
To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la
To whom it may concern x4
Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling
This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem
It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons
And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin
You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem
And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again
See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that
Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat
He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me
Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD
I'm like for real he's like yeah he said my music made a difference
It got him away from all your words and images
I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids
You ever stop to think about the millions you influence
Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it
Or just the way for some record companies sellin it
The only think we got in common is our melanin
Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm sayin
It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin
Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin
Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing
Prayin one day that you'll be calling upon His name and
But anyway I'm signin off now don't keep me waitin
This is KJ another cat just trying to make it
Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through
See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you
See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood
When you's the only one and only kid that's white
Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light
It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life
But really tell me what you do
You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew
I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin you
And even though its a song you'll probably never listen to
See what I send to you is this
Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
Hope you remember this now a few sentences
About a living God who loves you and plus forgives
And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid
It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is
And even though now it really might sound redundant
God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance
You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred
There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted
But anyway that's really all I gots to say
Just another word from an emcee now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then one love one God one way

Robert Pattinson Stinks?
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Robert Pattinson's personal hygiene has gained some attention on the set of New Moon — and it isn't a good thing! His costars are claiming that he has body odor, and Rob himself has even admitted to not washing his own hair. In an interview with Extra, Rob was asked if it was true that he once went six weeks without washing his hair. He replied, "Probably. I don't know. I don't really see the point in washing your hair."
Evidently Robert Pattinson's apartment is a mess as well. "It's like, I don't clean my apartment because I don't care. I have my apartment for sleeping in, and I have my hair for just, you know, hanging out on my head. I don't care if it's clean or not."
What do you guys think of this?!
