In the past 18 months I have been to Tokyo Japan and Detroit MI.
I would not live in the city of Detroit or Pontiac or Dearborn for that matter, given a choice, I would live in Hiroshima, though I have only visited Canon HQ in the outskirts of Tokyo.
I "HATE" what has happened to Detroit. Certainly, but do you know where and how to spread the blame for its decline?
But obviously, you know more................... Why would me knowing the Japanese have social programs or knowing that Detroit's obsolete factories are replace by modern facilities in Michigan and in a multiplicity of other States indicate that I know anything other about Detroit than that the story you posted was inaccurate?
BTW---Who has governed Detroit for the last 50 years? Do you believe that Detroit's plight is exclusively a failure of politics and if so would that be at the Municipal, State or Federal level.
The proof is in the pudding. What a curious analogy, but yes sometimes the ingredients of a pudding are too subtle to discern as single elements and just as in life, few things are entirely as simple as we might wish them to be.
But clearly, you know far more of what's going on than I, after all, you are a liberal.......my apologies. Is it an exclusively liberal trait to value truth over fiction? I think not and you do yourself and other non-liberals a disservice to suggest such a thing. Knowledge is not the preserve of one ideology or another but when information can be scrutinized and its veracity evaluated, how can the truth be rejected?
Oh, and I have been to Vancouver (Wizards of the Coast HQ's), though not recently, lovely city.
Some call it San Francisco north.
I wonder why??? I too have wondered at that comparison, I believe there is a symmetry between our undulating topographies and our shared importance as a deep sea port, which engenders such a compliment.
Sorry to take so long to reply I am working between bouts of hunt and peck typing.

As was stated in another thread, I said that there was rumors of there being 9 of them. According to people that spoke to Disney operators they only confirmed 6 figures. Well, StarWars.com has updated and they announced the last three figures. http://www.starwars.com/collecting/n...s20020828.html
Star Tours Toys Debut
August 28, 2002
Since 1987, guests of the Disney theme parks have ventured aboard a Star Tours speeder to check out the moons of Endor, only to be sidetracked to a rocky mis-adventure by a perpetually inexperienced Captain Rex (RX-24).
Earlier this month, a partnership between Disney and Star Wars toy licensee Hasbro opened "Once Upon a Toy". This 16,000-square-foot store in the Downtown Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is the home of wide array of exclusive Disney-themed merchandise - including the first official figures inspired by the droids of Star Tours.
Already available are 3 3/4" scale figures of Captain Rex, G2-4T and R3-D3. Joining them soon will be figures of R4-M9, DL-X2 and WEG-1618. Another three figures -- G2-9T, R5-D4 and SK-Z38 -- are expected to round-out the lineup later this year.
Also exclusive to the store are four Star Tours-labeled Star Wars roleplay items: a Rebel Alliance Blaster, Rebel Alliance Bowcaster, Galactic Empire Rifle and Jedi Training Academy Lightsaber.

09:30 23rd September 2013
Jackett expected tough task
Head Coach Kenny Jackett has re-iterated that building a new Wolves team in Sky Bet League One was never going to be an easy task – as he remained focused on more improvement despite an encouraging start.
Saturday's 1-0 win at Shrewsbury followed the pattern of many games so far this season with Wolves not perhaps hitting the heights but showing enough quality to still come out on the winning side and collect a crucial three points.
The challenge remains to pick up results against teams who naturally raise their game given Wolves' fall from Premier League grace, with Jackett believing the squad have it within their armoury to also raise standards and build some crucial momentum.
"This is a fantastic challenge for me personally," he says.
"It's quite new to me as well in terms of being a very big club and there are very few sides who have gone down two levels in two years.
"I think Swindon did it in the Eighties but it's not a drop which happens too often and to be able to turn it around is a big challenge for me.
"I have been in this division myself many times and I have seen the likes of Leeds, Notts Forest and Sheffield Wednesday hang about here for two or three years.
"It's not as easy as people think.
"But once they do get that momentum going then they are hard to stop.
"That is my challenge now.
"The majority of the season is ahead of us and we're not badly placed at the moment in terms of the league.
"Now we have to get the decisions right and work hard going forward.
"There are expectations on us this season but that is our test and our challenge and it's one we are looking forward to.
"Six wins in eight is certainly not bad but we feel we can get better.
"We're playing against teams with a very high motivation level because of our Premier League history.
"We completely understand that but once we've competed and coped with that then we have to keep working our quality and our cohesion and understanding to use the many strengths we have in our squad.
"There have been many tight games this season so it shows a good heart and spirit that we've never been 'out' of any game.
"That means we have always had opportunities to pick up points.
"We feel to some degree that we have a lot of quality in our side and if there is the need for that one moment – a finish or a little bit of calmness – we'd like to think we've got the players.
"We also know where we need to improve as well - we're a work in progress."
Jackett has enjoyed plenty of selection options up front this season, but did lose Kevin Doyle pre-match at the weekend due to a thigh strain and Leigh Griffiths during the game with an ankle problem.
Both have a good chance of being available for Saturday's visit of Sheffield United (3pm) but Jackett is also mulling over handing Bjorn Sigurdarson further starts as a centre forward.
The Icelander has been played both centrally and wide right so far this season and has been involved in a lot of Wolves' attacking work.
"He has had a bright start to the season," says Jackett.
"We have tried him once or twice in the wide area but he has done better and contributed more as a centre forward which would be his preferred position.
"I do need to settle him down in position unless there are injuries or suspensions.
"Moving positions can sometimes be good for the team but for the individual it can hamper your progress.
"If we can settle Bjorn down and get to know his strengths and what he can bring he will cause defenders problems because he has a lot of pace and a lot of power.
"A run in the team in a settled position at centre forward would really help him."

I order you to try the next calculation
Here is the problem I generate sequences of elements in parallel but they don't come up in sync some elements are dropped and some are added on one, both or the other.
Well this can be solved by plain old generators. But I want the backtracking features of prolog at my fingertips in order to generate this - it's nice, and I also would like to, at will, save the state and later redo the calculation with perhaps some other settings of some global variables
So again, the kanren way to handle this can be done, but if one want to put everything in tail call position and not use the common trick of sending info by returning the function the normal way I really don't know how to code this. With kanren you can use variables with values on the heap and set! them to update information, this can work, but I would also like to store and retrieve the state and then letg variables are ideal to use. So I coded a /> ideom using this and this is how it look
(%||% ((next-1 ((x xx)) (f 0.1 x))
(next-2 ((x yy)) (f 0.2 x)))
;;Guard phase
(if (condition-1 xx yy) (%update% next-1))
(if (condition-2 xx yy) (%update% next-2))
body-of-the-rest ...)
'%||%' has the model
(/> ((Next ((x xx) ...) code ...) ...)
body ...)))
this idiom will generate in parallel values of x that is copied over to xx and yy, then depending on the values either xx or yy is updated if they are out of sync, if they are in sync then the body will be evaluated and finally when the body backtracks both next-1 and next-2 will be updated. Nice It does what I want. I can also use (%update% (next-1 failure)) if failure is a a particular point inside
the code in next-1. I keep it in a form that allow me to use the implementation in languages without call/cc like constructs, it uses almost no stack space if proper tail-call's are implemented. It properly and magically manages state so that it can be retrieved or in case where the state is not stored appropriately unlink the overhead so it can be GC:ed. If speed is needed well, then consider using generators or the let version of the code. For the ones that thinks that functional code is the golden egg remember that I do employ functional techniques, for example in the unique function that I implemented in the previous post, the list could be replaced with a functional tree in order to improve scalability. Cool In order to be non-functional I need to be functional (partly)

|It's a common misconception to think that if you don't break out in hives or stop breathing, you're not really affected by a certain food. But, more than 37 million women suffer from food-triggered fatigue, joint pain, digestive upsets, headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms every day. If any of this describes you, you could have undiagnosed food sensitivity, says Elson Haas, M.D., director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, California.
Another myth is that you are born with your food sensitivities. Truth is, sensitivities build up after years of eating tough-to-digest staples day after day. The biggest culprits, according to researchers: wheat, milk, sugar, eggs, corn, soy and peanuts. If your digestive tract is somehow sour on one of these foods, yet you're still eating them on a daily basis, the overexposure can irritate and damage your intestines, causing partially-digested food to sneak into your bloodstream, says Dr. Haas, author of "The Detox Diet, 3rd Edition." "Your immune system attacks those errant food particles, triggering massive inflammation -- and that suppresses the function of your thyroid, pancreas, liver and adrenal glands, causing body-wide mayhem." Bigger deal than you thought!

| To find out if you might have a food allergy, ask yourself if any of these statements are true:
__ I have at least 10 pounds that I can't seem to lose with normal dieting and exercise.
__ I often have a puffy face, or slightly swollen hands, feet or ankles.
__ My stomach often looks bloated.
__ I struggle with PMS/mood swings/bad skin.
__ I suffer from heartburn, indigestion, gas, diarrhea or constipation.
__ I often get headaches/colds/sinus infections.
__ My joints or muscles ache almost every day.
__ I'm sensitive to dust, dander, pollen or other airborne irritants.
__ My metabolism is so sluggish, I gain weight easily if I'm not careful about what I eat.
__ No matter how much I sleep, I am tired.
__ If I avoid my favorite foods, I get awful cravings.
If two or more of those statements were true, you might have a food sensitivity, say researchers at Connecticut's University of Bridgeport. Test time!

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| In a nutshell, an elimination diet works like ripping off a bandage. Instead of tweaking your diet slowly, week after week, trying to figure out which foods agree with you and which ones don't, you simply knock out the top seven troublemakers for one solid week, then gradually add them back one at a time. If your symptoms come back, you've identified a food sensitivity.
"Some people feel headachy, stiff or tired for the first few days," says Brenda Powell, M.D., an integrative medicine physician at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. "But soon they notice that they have a lot more energy, they're clear-headed, their aches and pains have eased, and they feel a lot healthier and happier!"
Bonus: If you have food sensitivities, you're lugging around at least 10 pounds of trapped fluids -- bloating and tissue swelling caused by those allergy-like food reactions, say Stanford University researchers. "Remove troublesome foods from your diet, and you'll flush out that fluid in the first week," says Dr. Haas.

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| First, some good news: An elimination diet is not a calorie-restricted diet, so you don't need to weigh or measure anything, says Dr. Powell. "So eat until you're comfortably full, and snack between meals to stave off hunger pangs."
Just pick and choose from the tasty meals listed here -- ignoring any that don't appeal to you, and repeating the ones that you enjoy. You can make ingredient substitutions if you wish, as long as you strictly avoid the top seven troublemakers (dairy, wheat, corn, sugar, soy, eggs and peanuts). Drink eight glasses of water daily -- and enjoy herbal teas, seltzer or mineral water if you'd like some variety.
You'll notice that both honey and maple syrup are included in this plan. "The fact is, honey and pure maple syrup are plant extracts," says Dr. Haas. "They're natural, unrefined sweeteners, so they don't cause the problems that heavily-processed white sugar does."
Eat only the following for one week...

| After your body has been allergen-free for one week, the slate is clean. So now it's time to test the troublesome seven -- dairy, wheat, corn, sugar, soy, eggs and peanuts -- to find out which is your personal trigger.
Every three days, add one of these foods back into your diet, starting with one modest serving (4 ounces of milk, one slice of wheat bread or one egg, for example) the first day, two servings the second day and three servings the third day. Watch for signs of trouble, such as cravings, heartburn, gas, headaches, irritability, bloating, congestion or trouble concentrating.
If you develop symptoms, you've found your trigger -- the food you're smart to eat in limited quantities (or avoid entirely) so you can stay at the peak of health. No reaction at all? Keep that food in your diet rotation and begin testing another one to rule that food sensitivity in -- or out!

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Colin Borchert and Mississippi State have found a shooting rhythm. Now they just have to maintain it.
The Bulldogs (5-7), who open SEC play on Wednesday versus South Carolina (10-3), have struggled with their shot all season. But in Thursday's 97-46 trouncing of New Orleans, MSU hit 56.5 percent of its shots, including 52.4 percent from 3-point range. Both were season highs.
Borchert, a junior college transfer, shot 8 of 10 overall and 1 of 2 from deep.
"The biggest thing is to get the rhythm of the game," he said Monday. "That's the big thing for me, getting used to it, getting in front of the big crowds."
State ranks last in the SEC in both field goal percentage (41.2) and 3-point shooting (27.5). The UNO game could be the beginning of a trend, or it could be an anomaly.
Coach Rick Ray believes that game was the product of extra time spent putting up shots during Christmas break.
"Now the key is with school starting back up, those guys finding the time on their own to come in and get up shots," Ray said.
They plan to.
"That's all we do is get a lot of shots up, because (Ray) said that's our big concern right now," guard Craig Sword said.
Steele a big help
Junior guard Jalen Steele has played two games since returning from a wrist injury, and he was practicing a good bit before playing. That's helped MSU not only with numbers – it has seven healthy scholarship players – but from a leadership standpoint.
Steele is easily the most experienced player on the floor.
"We can endure more, because when he got hurt, we were a little on the down side with less bodies," freshman center Gavin Ware said. "But since he has come in, he started off as a leader, so that brought a leader back. That provided more chemistry and structure within the team."
Steele is a strong shooter, and he's already added some scoring punch, dropping16 points against UNO.
Steele's presence helps his teammates improve their game.
"Oh yeah, a lot, because now they've got to go out and guard Jalen," point guard Trivante Bloodman said. "That opens up the paint, and more attention will be on him. It opens everybody else's game up."
Ellington available
South Carolina gets Bruce Ellington back on Wednesday.
The junior point guard finished up his duties for the football team last week, catching the game-winning touchdown in the Gamecocks' 33-28 Outback Bowl victory over Michigan. Coach Frank Martin said Ellington was practicing Monday and will suit up for the MSU game.
Ellington played in four games earlier this season before rejoining the football team for bowl prep. He averaged 9.8 points in those games.
"I'm sure it will take him 10, 12, 14 days to start feeling comfortable again, but I'm excited," Martin said.

Moved into my new home for the next ten weeks on Sunday, didn't get net access until Monday due to some absent mindedness on my part (forgot my own cat5 cable, and didn't get to the shop in time). University net access is good, apt-get runs just as fast as if it was running from a local mirror. Timetable starts tomorrow, and an exam Wednesday (need to get 80% on each of the four sections to pass, and it is 20% of one of the modules I'm taking this year). So far, I have managed to keep my room reasonably tidy.
Yesterday evening, I added write support to the VFS (for external files only). The VFS lacked this before as hardly any of the code needed to write to anything. Also started making the dispatcher code less of a quick-n-dirty, proof of concept hack.
Yes, I have been outside my room.

We've ordered from Blindsgalore for over 20 years without one single problem. We're both picky and want things right. We especially love the cordless pleated shades. We have a beautiful view and we like to enjoy it. These shades allow us to that.View this product
"Great cordless blinds"
By decorating one step at a time! from Smyrna, GA
I am VERY pleased with the cordless blinds, and especially the blind for my skylight. I have purchased cordless blinds before, and the ones I purchased from Blindsgalore for 4 rooms were easier to install and look great.View this product

So the U (Miami 'Canes) got what amounts to a hand slap after all the allegations, if there was ever a program that lacked institutional control it was Convict U
The Cajuns just wrapped up a win against A. State.
The interesting point of the game? Their two longest drives, didn't produce points.
But having the lead, it worked out nice keeping the other offense off the field.
The main reason they sustained their drives; 12/21 on third down.
Cajuns 'D' also held A. State in check.

Andrew Toney just hit you with a spot foul for nickname negligence: Leaving out the Ragin' in (front of) Cajuns.
After a 40 year draught of no bowl games, looks like the Ragin Cajuns will make it three in a row under third year HC Hudspeth. I'd be shocked if they didn't play Tulane in the New Orleans Bowl. The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce is pulling for them since they have brought an average of 40,000 fans to each of the bowl game the last two years. Tulane HC Curtis Johnson (WR Coach under Sean Payton and N O native) is building a solid program, getting a new on campus stadium and the team is led by some kid with the last name of Montana whose dad's name is Joe.
Maybe a more interesting bowl game would be the Ragin Cajuns vs the Oregon Ducks since they both beat Nichols State by 63 points

YES! YES! YES! Please pump up the HYPE! Keep it going for the next 2½ months!
Can't wait to start hearing "Oregon, the Team no one wants to play" ...ewww*shivers* scary!
I love it! Crank up the HYPE!
In all fairness to Roseberry (John Mc) I thought it was my turn to take first shot at CFB prognostications
Disclaimer : these are for entertainment purposes only,and my season record against the spread is about 52%...it usually consists of betting one $10 parlay card per week so I have some interest to talk with my guests who want to know what the line is for different games..I am by no means a professional handicapper but I did go 9-1 two weeks ago all on CFB
1. Texas + 3 at TCU; wont bet against my Horns
2. Utah + 6.5 at USC: I will take the Utes plus the points maybe even straight up on the money line to beat the Trojans
3. Texas A&M - 17 vs Vandy : JF plays a half and Vandy back door covers
4. UCLA + 24 vs Oregon: the line opened at 17.5 and jumped all the way up to the current number, wont touch the game
5. Alabama -28 vs Tenn: the number will be in doubt till the end..will take Bama to cover on a meaningless pick six at the end of the game
6. Oklahoma -7 vs Texas Tech: I will watch this game...Oklahoma at home to cover
7. LSU -47 vs Furman : Furman the school that produced Hall of Fame golfer Beth Daniel, and LSU fans make fun of Bama's schedule
8. Baylor - 35 vs Kansas: Baylor the best team you havent seen all year will hang 60 on Charlie Weis and Kansas,they may however give up 20
9. Missouri -2 vs SoCarolina: if Shaw doesnt play the Gamecocks go down
10. Nevada - 6.5 vs UNLV : UNLV stinks and should get run out of the stadium but its a big in state rivalry game...dont care either way
there you go John...have at it...if you bet that card I know where I can sell you an island in the Sonoran desert
Shaw is tough, but if you want to be a running back, play running back. The backup is a way better passer and always has been. He just hasn't been on the field much this year.
Bill Davis
what you say sounds good except:
i like the longhorns that beat oklahoma to beat tcu. the longhorns that lost to ol' miss....not so much. which ones show up? i say longhorns win by 3.
alabama wins by 2.8......not 28. take the vols people!
gamecocks win by 6. i wouldn't want to ruin a perfect record of underestimating mizzou 7 week in a row!!!!!
baylor may need a third digit on the scoreboard!!!!!
good luck to all!!!!!!!

Mill Creek Man Pleads Guilty to Production of Child Pornography
Dec 21, 2012 (JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS AND PUBLICATIONS/ContentWorks via COMTEX) -- Mill Creek Man Pleads Guilty to Production of Child Pornography U.S. Attorney's Office December 21, 2012 Western District of Washington (206) 553-7970 A 56-year-old Mill Creek, Washington man pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to production of child pornography. Phillip Steven Allen faces a mandatory minimum 15 years in prison and up to 30 years in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones on March 29, 2013.
According to records filed in the case, Allen came to the attention of law enforcement in 2010, when they served a search warrant on a residence in Bloomington, Indiana. The occupant of the home was being investigated for distribution of child pornography. Investigators determined that the Indiana resident has sent child pornography to an e-mail address in Mill Creek. Further investigation linked the address to Allen. In July 2011 agents served a search warrant at Allen's address. A computer and two external hard drives were analyzed. Law enforcement found pornographic pictures on the devices of a young girl who is related to Allen.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
The case was investigated by the FBI. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jerrod C. Patterson. Mr. Patterson is the Project Safe Childhood coordinator for the U.S. Attorney's Office.

In the Toraja region of Sulawesi, corpses of the deceased are placed into elaborately carved sarcophagi [erong] during the latter stages of the lengthy funeral rites. The coffins come in a variety of forms and are placed above the ground, in recent centuries at the base of towering limestone cliffs into which tombs are cut.
Created from large logs, the wooden erong take the shape of boats, houses, pigs and buffalo, serving as vehicles for the travel of the spirit of the dead to the Land of the Souls. The social rank of the family of the deceased determines the form of the erong. Based on hierarchies handed down from the original founding ancestors, boats are reserved for members of the local nobility, water buffalo are used for middle-rank land owners and pig-shaped coffins hold the bodies of people from lower ranking families.

Binghamton University hosts annual holiday drives for families in need
BINGHAMTON, NY – Binghamton University students, faculty and staff will bring joy to the lives of needy families through various holiday drives scheduled for the coming weeks.
As part of the annual Hand to Heart Holiday Project, thousands of donated items will be sorted into more than 1,500 gift bags starting at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 5, in Rafuse Hall located in the Dickinson community. Sorting should take a few hours and then bags will be delivered to the Salvation Army for distribution. A total of 120 bags additional bags will be picked up for delivery to the Children's Home of Wyoming Conference.
Each year, Residential Life and the National Residence Hall Honorary organization team up with the Salvation Army and the Children's Home to make the holiday season a little brighter for needy Binghamton-area children. Binghamton University's Professional Employee's Council (PEC) is also participating in the holiday gift program for the Children's Home of Wyoming Conference.
The 22nd annual Student Association Holiday Drive, "Operation SAnta" will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, in the Old Union Hall. Gifts such as toys, clothing and food certificates will be collected and distributed to families in the Binghamton School District. Tables will be set up to sort the gifts, which will then be transported to the schools and distributed to the families.
Toys for Tots drives are also being hosted by students in the College of Community and Public Affairs, as well the University Parking Services Department.
This Chanukah, students plan to light up hundreds of lives through the Binghamton University Chanukah Toy Drive. All toys will be delivered to children suffering from cancer. Individuals can contribute by visiting http://www.JewishBU.com/ToyDrive.


text: Usual school day. I've been working on the kernel RPM for Conectiva Linux 5.1 this afternoon. Almost finished the update 2.2.15 RPM for other distribution versions. Cleaned the two HA machines and my two test machines _and_ my table. Now with two 2-box clusters we can test HA stuff without screaming "Hey, anyone using the machines?" all the time. Added 512mb of memory to plucky (it had 64mb). Unfortunately one 256mb chip was broken. Tomorrow 1 gig should be arriving so Rik can test his VM stuff with highmem.


text: Well I've only spent a week with him...and he does FF, just not the traditional Carr way. I didn't go to great depth because you were talking AA type dogs. His claim to fame is centered more on early training, which is different from the other main out-of-the-box programs. Once you get to transition work, there isn't quite a HUGE difference. THere are still some. Bill is a cool guy and Mary is fantastic. You guys had a great opportunity by hosting them for a seminar. I HIGHLY recomend his seminars.

This reminds me of the joke of the talking dog who sold for $10... (Guy sees ad, goes to house. Dog tells him he worked for the CIA listening in on meetings, etc. - embellish this as needed... Guy asks why he's only $10. Owner says, "He's a damn lyer. He never worked for the CIA.")
I hope some of his talent rubs off on the Unbehaun pack. He'd be welcome to stay at my house!

Thanks to Jack he got a ride half way to Boston so he can get in some water that is above 40 degrees! He has had two water blinds this year before this trial and two short water marks my water was in the high thirties! Me and the kids are going to Disney for spring break so Gman gets a short vacation at Lardy's for a little warm water work himself. Its a great thing about the people you meet running trials almost all of them are willing to help each other out like John did me when I asked him if he minded.
There was no hesitation in his voice he was truly more than glad to help, his wife's first words were how many cups of food does he get and he can sleep in the house!! We all like to win but most importantly we like the opportunity to compete and be good stewards and sportsman of the game. Jack is not only a historian of the game he lives a great example of how we should treat each other so this sport can survive for our sons and daughters. Thanks again CB

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of archival service provider Iron Mountain (IRM) continue to fall hard this morning after the company last night disclosed that the IRS has given a "tentatively adverse" response to the company's desire to become a REIT.
There's one downgrade this morning, from Stifel Nicolaus's Shlomo Rosenbaum, who cut his rating to Hold from Buy, and stripped away his $42 target, writing that "we believe the probability of converting to a REIT is much less than the 80% chance we had been expecting, given the 8K IRM filed last night. At best we think it is a 50/50 probability, and it is likely much less than that."
Other REIT, and would-be REIT, names are under pressure this morning. Shares of data center operator Equinix (EQIX), which had planned on a January, 2015 conversion, are down $19.97, or over 6%, at $190.90. However, Jefferies & Co.'s Omotayo Okusanya this morning writes that "With respect to Equinix, which is one of the more high-profile REIT conversions in process, we continue to view a PLR receipt as highly likely given that the data center REIT sector is well-established at this point, with 4 publicly traded data center REITs."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down 61 cents at $437.85, despite a report this morning by Peter Kafka of AllThingsD that the company managed to get Sony's (SNE) Sony Music to participate in what is expected to be a streaming music service it may unveil on Monday, citing a single unnamed source. "The deal means that Apple now has agreements with all three major music labels," writes Kafka, the others being Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group.
Speaking of Apple, Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek this morning offers up his quarterly smartphone and tablet survey reviewing prospects for Apple and BlackBerry (BBRY) and Samsung Electronics (005930KS) and others. Misek observes there's "significantly less optimism on smartphone volumes, prices will continue to decline, and Samsung eclipsed Apple for the first time."
"Our checks indicate iPhone sell-through is tracking down vs. last Q, Samsung's S4 is selling in line with its aggressive build plans, and BlackBerry Z10 is slowing; however, Q10 doing better than expected," reports Misek.
Speaking even more of Apple, RBC Capital's Amit Daryanani today reiterates an Overweight rating and a $475 price target, writing that the report yesterday by Bloomberg's Peter Burrows that Apple will conduct a trade-in program for older models of its iPhone, could be a positive for the company because it may spur adoption of the newer iPhone 5. "However, a bearish thesis for such an effort would be that this is AAPL's attempt to liquidate excess iPhone5 supply ahead of new program ramps iPhone 5s and low-end iPhone in fall-2013."
And speaking even still more of Apple, Citigroup's Glen Yeung says the stock may be stuck for some time around his price target of $430, because his "checks" of the supply chain in Asia for Apple came in more dour than he'd expected, writing "While we had expected to hear optimism around Apple's forthcoming product refreshes in this round of checks, we were surprised at the skepticism at many points in the supply chain," with the prospect iPhone sales in the second half of this year could be flat with last year, even with a new iPhone 5S and a cheaper model, he thinks.
Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 7 cents at $24.58 after Piper Jaffray's Gus Richard cut his rating on the stock to Underweight from Neutral, and cut his price target to $20 from $21, after cutting his PC unit shipment forecast for this year to a decline of 7% from a prior forecast for a drop of 3%.
"The optimism around the new CEO, Silvermont and the launch of Haswell has caused shares to rise," writes Richard, "though we believe underlying fundamentals remain unchanged and the company's core PC business is in a state of decline."

The European Commission has come up with a driverless car parking system. Through this, you will never have to waste your time looking for a space. Researchers from the major member countries like Germany, UK, Italy, and Switzerland are searching for ways to address car parking problems and the new driverless car parking system is the perfect answer. Earlier this year, a successful test was made and receives funding from the commission that amounts to €5.6 million.
The Future Of Driverless Car Parking System
In the near future, a lot of people are foreseen to drive electric cars and will definitely switch from one mode of transportation to another. Hence, there will surely be a need for more parking options at the major transport hubs. As part of the preparation, V-CHARGE consortium is doing its best to come up with a fully automated parking as well as charging system for electric-operated cars at the public car parks.
Leave And Get Back To The Car Using Smartphone Application
With this driverless car parking system, the drivers will be able to leave their car in the car park and to trigger the parking process; the driver will only use a particular smartphone application. The vehicle will automatically connect with the server in the car park and will automatically drive itself to the available parking space. As a matter of fact, the application can also instruct the car to automatically go to charging station. After which, the car is fully charged and all set to go.
This project is set to conclude this coming 2015 and the result of this technology will be progressively commercialized in the next few years. So far, engineers are doing their best and are working with the already available equipment including the stereo camera and ultrasonic sensors.

Thousands of Sikhs take to the streets for Vaisakhi
Thousands of Sikh worshippers took to the streets to celebrate Vaisakhi in the West Midlands today.
The colourful procession started at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara, in Walsall Road, Willenhall, following a route through the town centre. It paused briefly outside the Shri Guru Ravi Dass Sabha, in Somerford Road, before winding its way along the B4484 Fibbersley to March End Road to the Wednesfield Gurdwara, in Well Lane.
The march is organised by members from the three temples and the organisers say it is the biggest parade to have taken place in recent years.
Wednesfield South councillor Bhupinder Singh Gakhal, who helped to organise it, said: "The procession has been beautiful, it's been really lovely and went like a dream. We had about 3,000 turn up. We normally get a crowd of about 2,500, but it was definitely busier this year.
"The message is about celebrating Vaisakhi and everyone is welcome to join in not just Sikhs. Along the route lots of residents came out of their houses to watch the spectacle and to hand out food and drinks.
"I would like to thank Walsall Council and Wolverhampton City Council, the police and the other organisations for their support. Everybody enjoyed themselves."
Jay Singh, 35, of Walsall, who was a ceremonial guard for the procession, says: "We hold the procession to make others more aware of Sikhism and to mark the start of the Khalsa or Singh, which means Army of God."

trade stat and melo in the offseason. give JR the max and build around him and novak lol
i was joking btw
Go Thunder!
Anyone else starting to worry about Melo. The Knicks did the same thing with Lin last year. They said his injury wasnt bad and he never played again. Carmelo may be seriously injured
U guys see the video of Renaldo Balkman flipping out in the Phillipines. Pushing his teammates,the refs, grabs his teAMmate by the throat. WTF is wrong with that guy
Jeremy Lin, 23, suffered from a knee injury that left him sitting on the bench in the team's win against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Although he was listed as day-to-day, the Harvard graduate sat out the entire game on Monday night.
ACL injuries are pretty common place and the way it gave out to me looks like Carmelo has some sort of tear in his ACL. I think the reason why we havent heard anything is because the Knicks behind the scenes are scrambling for 2nd and 3rd opinions on the severity. Of course this is speculation but the longer the Knicks remain quiet the worse it is

In fact the Commodore offense ranks dead last in the SEC in scoring and total yards. To mak...

The Boston Herald considers impending free agent Aqib Talib a candidate for the Patriots' franchise tag.
Character issues aside, what makes you think this guy's going to be a bargain?
If he were willing to play for cheap, NE would keep him. As it is, they're likely to franchise tag him just to keep him around another year. Plus, why would Talib leave a successful team-- the hands-down favorite to win the division again next year-- where he's already learned the scheme and knows he fits in? Why would he play in Miami unless it's for the big bucks? Miami may be a team on the rise, but there's no guarantee of how it's going to turn out. Meanwhile, his current team still has at least 2 or 3 more playoff years to come. Plus, there are plenty of other teams would also be in the running to jack up his price, if he decides to walk away from the Pats.
It's not impossible that Talib would play in Miami, but the Dolphins would have to pay big money to get him. No way is he going to be a cheaper option than Smith.
We need a corner that can play press as well as Sean Smith. Smith is elite in press, it's zone that he struggles (terrible instincts). If we find that corner, whether it be Cox or anyone else, i'd sign Sean Smith for MAX 5 mil a year.
Nolan Carroll couldn't play press, so they had the corners in zone too often. If we get a legitimate pass rusher opposite Cam Wake...Sean Smith and a good, physical press corner would do great things.
no thank you

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:27 PM GMT on June 09, 2011
The powerful winds that have fanned Arizona's massive Wallow fire into the state's second largest fire on record will diminish today, and the forecast for Eastern Arizona calls for more modest afternoon winds of 15 - 20 mph through Saturday. For the first time this week, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has not issued red flag warnings for critical fire conditions in Eastern Arizona, and firefighters should be able to make progress battling the Wallow fire, which is 0% contained. Yesterday, Luna, New Mexico, located about 50 miles northeast of the fire, had wind gusts in excess of 30 mph for almost 7 hours, temperatures near 80°F, and humidities as low as 5%. The fire has grown steadily this week--300 square miles on Sunday, 365 square miles on Monday, 484 square miles Tuesday, and 608 square miles on Wednesday. Its current size is about 50% of the size of Rhode Island. The fire is close to beating the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire (732 square miles) as Arizona's largest fire in recorded history. Smoke from the Wallow fire has now blown downwind over 2,000 miles over the Atlantic Ocean, as seen using our wundermap for the U.S. with the Fire layer turned on. Smoke caused "Unhealthy" levels of air pollution (code red on the Air Quality Index) over much of new Mexico Wednesday. A separate fire burning in Southeast Arizona, the 167-square-mile Horseshoe Two fire, is the state's 5th largest fire on record, and is 50% contained. According to the Interagency Fire Center, 3.6 million acres have burned in the U.S. so far this year, the most on record for this early in the year--and more than double the 10-year average from 2001 - 2010 of 1.4 million acres. During May, 1.8 million acres burned, the greatest May fire acreage burned in the 12-year record. Extreme to exceptional drought conditions over most of Texas, New Mexico, and Eastern Arizona are largely responsible for the record fire season.
Figure 1. Smoke from Arizona's Wallow fire passed over the Washington DC area at a height of 5 - 9 km during the day on Wednesday, June 8, 2011. NASA Goddard's micropulse lidar in Greenbelt, Maryland took a vertical profile of particles in the atmosphere during the day. A lidar (short for LIght Detection And Ranging) is a laser detection system that bounces light waves off of particles in the atmosphere to determine where clouds and elevated pollution layers exist. During the afternoon hours, the lidar also detected large amounts of air pollution particles near the surface (orange colors) after 18 UTC (2pm EDT.) Air quality in the Washington D.C. area during the day on June 8 for particles was Moderate (84 on the Air Quality Index, code yellow), and was Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (Air Quality Index of 150) for ozone pollution. The University of Maryland Smog Blog is where I got this image from, and is a good place to get daily discussions of air pollution.
Figure 2. Smoke billows from the rapidly growing Wallow fire in Eastern Arizona in this image taken by NASA's Aqua satellite at 1:25pm MDT June 8, 2011. The actively burning fire front (outlined in red) surrounds a vast area of charred land. High winds propelled the fire, igniting spot fires as much as three miles ahead of the fire front.

Flooding from 94L kills 23 people in Haiti
The large, disorganized tropical disturbance (94L) that brought heavy rains to Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti early this week is no more, but at least 23 people are dead and six missing in Haiti due to torrential flooding rains from the disturbance. Satellite-estimated rainfall amounts indicate 8 -10 inches of rain fell over Haiti's southwestern peninsula this week. The heaviest rains from the remains of 94L lie just north and west of Haiti, and may be capable of bringing 1 - 3 inches of rain to Haiti, the Bahamas, and eastern Cuba today. The NOGAPS model is suggesting the remains of 94L could reorganize into a strong tropical disturbance this weekend off the coast of South Carolina, but none of the other models are showing this. The NOGAPS model has had a poor track record handling the evolution of the wind shear pattern this week, and I'm not expecting any major regeneration of 94L. Wind shear is very high 30 - 50 knots in the region between Cuba and South Carolina, making development very unlikely. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, none of the reliable computer models is predicting tropical cyclone development over the next seven days.
Figure 3. Morning satellite image of Hurricane Adrian.
First hurricane of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season forms
Hurricane Adrian is putting on an impressive bout of rapid intensification, and has emerged as the season's first hurricane in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Adrian is in an ideal environment for intensification, with light wind shear and ocean temperatures of 30°C (86°), and will likely become a major hurricane later today. Adrian is expected to remain far enough offshore the coast of Mexico to not pose a threat to that country, at least for the next three days. June hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific are much more common than in the Atlantic.
NOAA's pre-season prediction of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, issued on May 16, calls for below average activity, with 12 named storms, 6.5 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes, with an ACE index 75% of the median. The 1981-2010 averages for the Eastern Pacific hurricane season are 15 - 16 named storms, 8 - 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.

phew, finally recovered from a very cool new years party :)
I met neo and mitch at 17C3 in Berlin and we talked a bit about the future of plug-in distribution. Nothing has been really decided, yet, but definetely a lot of things will happen -- hopefully to the better. I have been making several incremental improvements to the registry which will hopefully appear soon.
The pet project nick-named fargonauten of a few friends and me in Bielefeld (yes, B. really does exist) is shaping up, the first homepage cut is there and I'm currently working on putting some dynamic frameworks in place.
Now, if that pesky term project would be behind me, life would be perfect. Well, working on it :)

Play in the Parks
Orlando= Theme Parks. Period. That's one equation which is indisputable. It's world famous as the "home city" for the best theme parks in the world. Spend a day, spend many days, you'll always want to return to visit the Walt Disney World® Parks which feature Magic Kingdom® Park, EPCOT®, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park, and Disney's Hollywood Studios®. The other major parks, Universal Studios Orlando, and SeaWorld Orlando are also nearby.
Hit the Beach: East
As Orlando is literally in Central Florida, you can head east or west and get to the coast. Head eastward for the fabled resort towns ofDaytona Beach, home of the world-famous Daytona Speedway,Vero Beach or Cocoa Beach. A note about Cocoa: make sure to stop in to Ron Jon's Surf Shop on Route 1A – once a fabled sea-side beach shack for surfers to get their gear, it's now a destination in itself!
Hit the Beach: West
Head westward, and where the road ends, you'll be overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico! The beaches are absolutely beautiful and the sunsets even more spectacular! You'll be driving throughTampa on your way to St. Petersburg or Clearwater, two well-known Florida hot spots.
Hit The Links
With more than 170 golf courses, over 20 golf academies and some of the world's most prestigious tournaments, Orlandois a true golfer's paradise. Take it from the professionals: In addition to being home to more pro golfers than any other city in the world, Orlandowas voted the "North American Golf Destination of the Year" by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators in 2010. And with a multitude of stunning courses designed by the likes of Nicklaus, Dye, and Fazio, Orlandooffers visitors an exclusive golfing experience not found anywhere else.
Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral
The U.S. Shuttle Program may be over, but the NASA Kennedy Space Center lives on. This is a must-see during a trip to the area, and only about an hour's drive from Orlando. You can spend a fascinating day away from the parks to learn about America's journey into space over the past few decades. NASA's launch headquarters is the only place on Earth where you can tour launch areas, meet a veteran astronaut, see giant rockets, train in spaceflight simulators, and even view a launch if one happens to be scheduled when you're in the neighborhood – it would be worth a detour to "The Cape" for this type of "once-in-a-lifetime" experience!

If I had a crystal ball i think it would show a tough 2016 primary with Christie and Rubio in the front. The media would give all the time to these guys and they would argue how by being big government they are really small government. Then the Rand Paulians would get fed up and vote for a libertarian candidate again.
Rand Paul is a libertarian republican by description and republican by camp. Just like Rubio is a tea party/ who cares about immigration repub, and christie is a pro big gov/fast food/ dem lite repub. They describe the differences in the party. In my state we have two republican senators, one is a RINO (Lindsey graham) and the other is a tea party (Tim Scott). Unfortunately the latin lovesick ex governor Sanford may make a run for the special election for demints seat. Sanford was great politically but awful personally, and we all know that can only work in the democratic party
I don't think she will run, she isn't liked to well across the state. Alot of folks blame and smear her for no good reason. I voted for her, and i may again because she is very anti pork and limited government. For as much as the state is labeled as conservatives, our state govt is not.

Pull Tiger TailView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
In an interview with the British magazine Neu, one of the members of Pull Tiger Tail said that the group was formed because "Our parents made us do it. They all wanted to be rock stars, too." Assuming they aren't kidding, the parents of singer and guitarist Marcus Ardere, bassist and keyboard player Davo McKenzie-McConville, and drummer Jack Hamsom must have started nagging their kids about making it big in music sometime in late 2005, since Pull Tiger Tail made their stage debut in February of 2006. Ardere, McKenzie-McConville, and Hamsom were childhood friends who were born and raised in Stratford-on-Avon and were attending Goldsmiths College when they decided to form a band. Coining their name during a lengthy road trip while visiting the United States, Pull Tiger Tail draw their music from equal portions of guitar-fueled Brit-pop and arch indie pop, though the bandmembers are fond of referring to their sound as "new rave." After the group relocated to London, Pull Tiger Tail's sharp, energetic music and cheeky humor made them a popular club attraction, and only seven months after making their stage debut, they released their first single, "Animator," on the independent label Young and Lost Club Records. The single sold out its limited-edition pressing, and the U.K. label B-Unique Recordings (home to the Kaiser Chiefs and Primal Scream) signed Pull Tiger Tail to a record deal, putting "Mr. 100%" in stores in December 2006. In 2007, Pull Tiger Tail were invited to take part in New Musical Express' annual New Music Tour, where they shared the bill with the Rumble Strips, Blood Red Shoes, and the Little Ones. In March 2007, the band released its third single, "Let's Lightning," with a fourth single, "Hurricanes," following in June. ~ Mark Deming

Curious about our certificate programs? Want to learn how a certificate of merit can help you fulfill a dream, start a new career, or simply enjoy a new interest? Come discover what the Regenstein School at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois has to offer.
Delve deeper into plant materials; learn how to create refined landscape designs; discover the world of botanical art; receive hands-on training from a Chicago Botanic Garden horticulturist. Staff instructors and industry professionals can prepare you for a rewarding green industry career as a landscape maintenance professional, garden designer, or professional gardener.
Certificate programs are offered at varying levels from the beginner seeking to explore the secrets of the Midwest landscape to professionals working to improve their expertise and marketability.
What is a Certificate?
A certificate signifies that a student has successfully fulfilled all the requirements of a prescribed series of courses. Certificates are awarded each year, and have been used by individuals to prepare for entry-level positions in green industry occupations, to obtain salary raises or increased responsibilities in their current positions.
How many Certificate programs do you offer?
We offer nine certificate programs of study designed for the beginner through the professional learner on topics such as: Botanical Art, Photography, Garden Design, Ornamental Plant Materials, Professional Gardener, Healthcare Garden Design, and Horticultural Therapy.
Where do I start?
Botany 1 is a prerequisite for most courses, but select classes may be taken prior to fulfilling this requirement. Most courses do not have to be taken in any sequential order. Any prerequisite courses within the program are listed in the certificate program outline. Students may take individual courses whether or not they chose to pursue a complete program of study. Exceptions are Botanical Art, Healthcare Garden Design, and Horticultural Therapy certificates.
When and where are classes held?
All classes are held at the Chicago Botanic Garden with limited site visits to outside venues. Core classes are programmed on weekday evenings and weekends to accommodate working professionals and adults with busy lifestyles.
How large are the classes?
Lecture classes can hold up to 50 students. Lab formats are limited to 20 – 24 students. Design and art courses are limited to 16 students.
How much will this cost?
Classes average $13 per instructional hour. Any required text books and supplies are not included in the registration fee.
How long will this take me?
We offer students a flexible approach to their education allowing them to finish a program at their own pace. Some programs can be completed in as little as two years and others have up to seven years for completion. Students may enroll in a single course to address a specific need or interest, build a sequence of courses to meet individual needs, or earn a certificate of completion for a specific program of study.
How do I receive my certificate?
Certificates are awarded once a year at our fall graduation ceremony and reception. Students must register with the office of continuing education for graduation and certificate completion.
How do I receive student class information?
All certificate students are asked to provide an email address for program information, course updates and general student correspondence.
How many classes can I or should I take?
Most students begin with one core class or an elective course. How many classes you enroll in is up to the individual and their schedule, but it is advised that students take no more than three multisession course concurrently.
Which certificate is right for me?
Even if the Garden Design Certificate is your end goal, students begin their studies pursuing the Ornamental Plant Materials Certificate, which provides a base knowledge of plant materials. The core courses are integrated throughout the series of certificates programs; students continue to build upon their coursework and can achieve multiple certificates.
How many hours of studying can I expect?
Students can expect to set aside a minimum of two to four hours per class for study, reading, project work, and homework assignments. This amount varies on the person and the number of classes.

Ethiopian satirist silently joins ranks of the exiled
Newspaper satirist Abebe Tolla, better known as Abé Tokichaw, fled Ethiopia fearing imprisonment in retaliation for critical news commentaries, media reported this week. His exit was overshadowed by the trial of opposition figures and journalists on charges of terrorism.
In an interview he gave to U.S.-based Addis Neger Online from an undisclosed location, Abebe said he fled the country because security agents threatened to throw him in prison. He did not even bid farewell to family members. Abebe alleged that state security agents pressured him for months to become an informant at his newspaper, the critical Amharic weekly Feteh.

Even "The Nation" & the NY Times seem to agree with Beck now, that there has definitely been "an organized methodology" behind the supposed "spontaneity" in Cairo. Or are they totally paranoid delusionals now as well?
Who's Behind Egypt's Revolt?
Whos behind the Egyptian revolution?
Its spontaneous, yes, triggered by the explosion in Tunisia. But contrary to some media reports, which have portrayed the upsurge in Egypt as a leaderless rebellion, a fairly well organized movement is emerging to take charge, comprising students, labor activists, lawyers, a network of intellectuals, Egypts Islamists, a handful of political parties and miscellaneous advocates for change. And its possible, but not at all certain, ,that the nominal leadership of the revolution could fall to Mohammad ElBaradei the former chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who returned to Egypt last year to challenge President Mubarak and who founded the National Association for Change.
From the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/10/wo...0revolt&st=cse
Wired and Shrewd, Young Egyptians Guide Revolt
Yet they brought a sophistication and professionalism to their cause exploiting the anonymity of the Internet to elude the secret police, planting false rumors to fool police spies, staging field tests in Cairo slums before laying out their battle plans, then planning a weekly protest schedule to save their firepower that helps explain the surprising resilience of the uprising they began.
In the process many have formed some unusual bonds that reflect the singularly nonideological character of the Egyptian youth revolt, which encompasses liberals, socialists and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I like the Brotherhood most, and they like me, said Sally Moore, a 32-year-old psychiatrist, a Coptic Christian and an avowed leftist and feminist of mixed Irish-Egyptian roots. They always have a hidden agenda, we know, and you never know when power comes how they will behave. But they are very good with organizing, they are calling for a civil state just like everyone else, so let them have a political party just like everyone else they will not win more than 10 percent, I think.
Many in the circle, in fact, met during their university days. Islam Lotfi, a lawyer who is a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Youth, said his group used to enlist others from the tiny leftist parties to stand with them in calling for civil liberties, to make their cause seem more universal. Many are now allies in the revolt, including Zyad el-Elaimy, a 30-year-old lawyer who was then the leader of a communist group.
Mr. Elaimy, who was imprisoned four times and suffered multiple broken limbs from torture for his political work, now works as an assistant to Mohamed ElBaradei, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the International Atomic Energy Agency. In turn, his group built ties to other young organizers like Ms. Moore.
the International Crisis Group, http://www.crisisgroup.org/ led by George Soros, has long petitioned for the Egyptian government to normalize ties with theMuslim Brotherhood. The ICG also produced a report urging the Egyptian regime to allow the Brotherhood to establish an Islamist political party. , Included on the ICG board is none other than Egyptian opposition leader ElBaradei as well as other personalities who champion dialogue with Hamas. U.S. board members include Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was national security adviser to Jimmy Carter; Samuel Berger, who was Bill Clinton's national security adviser; and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamist group. Another ICG member is Robert Malley, a former adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. He resigned after it was exposed he had communicated with Hamas.

Read the rest here.The spiritually inclined band Creed, whose anthemic hits "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open" helped them become one of the top-selling rock acts of the past decade, has called it quits.
Three former Creed members immediately announced they were forming a new band minus singer Scott Stapp but were quick to say it was not "just Creed with a different singer."
Today is the day the music died...again.
This is what happens when you get intoxicated before a show, mumble and forget your lyrics, wallow around on the stage, and then tell those fans they experienced a unique show and should be content with it.
Goodbye Creed, the world of music will never replace your legacy.
EDIT-I don't know if I was ambiguous or not with what I said and the smiles used, but I am not a Creed fan.
