text: The Pistons beat themsleves last night. I have never seen Detriot MISS so many shots as they did in the 4th and you cant expect to win game, especially a playoff game if your not making a higher percentage of shots. We were able to shut James down, unfortunatly Gibson came back and made 4 nice 3 pointers (12 points). Factor in the 3 points that Sheed cost us near the end and that alone was the difference in points. I think they said Prince was 16/64. Its one thing to have a bad night or even two but to have 5 straight is pathedic. Sorry but I think Sheed and Prince need to go. I am no longer a fan as long as Sheed is in the house, he's to much of a risk and he could care less what he costs us.. Cuz

Meet the GEO Team
They are student leaders at Catawba College who have been charged with the task of helping to make the Center for the Environment's ambitious educational efforts even better. They are young adults who are eager to develop and strengthen their own teaching and collaborative leadership skills. They are the Green Education Outreach (GEO) team. And they are a creative and dedicated bunch.
"These students are very committed to looking for ways they can enhance our programs and engage others from around the campus in those programs," says Center Executive Director John Wear. "They are great representatives of the Center."
Here are short profiles on the GEO members.
Jacob Snyder
Jacob Snyder, a sophomore majoring in Environmental Studies and Environmental Science, wants, in his words, "to create a more sustainable world to leave for generations to come."
This Eden, N.C., native is deeply involved in Center activities, and is quick to lend a hand. He does everything from promoting the Center at environmental fairs and assisting staff members when renowned environmental leaders come to the campus to helping middle school students understand macro invertebrates that live on the ecological preserve.
Attending the presentations by guest lecturers, like the internationally renowned Amory Lovins of Rocky Mountain Institute, has been a broadening experience for Snyder. "These lectures have added to my education by showing me firsthand what people are doing to help the environment and local communities," he says.
Educating others about the environment is important, he says, "because the more one knows about it, the more one can help."
Jennifer Goble
A junior Environmental Science and Biology double major, Jennifer Goble wants to go into environmental planning or sustainable design when she graduates.
Being a member of the GEO team gives her opportunities to teach and speak on environmental topics, she says. "It mixes what you learn in the classroom with real-world experience."
She works with different age groups in the community and the schools. "I'm honing my own skills in education," Goble says. "I like the idea of teaching others about how to be environmentally friendly. We make students aware of what they can do to help."
Goble notes that the Center brings in excellent speakers. "It's a good way to meet people in the area and in my field," she says. "It's one of the really good things about the Center."
GEO Team activities tap her creativity. "I get to show my creative side when we develop videos and posters for the Center's events," she says. "We come up with marketing ideas and ways to get people more involved."
Jonathan Cooley
Sophomore Jonathan Cooley is helping with the marketing of the National Youth Environmental Summit, a five-day landmark experience that will bring sustainability designers, scientists and engineers from Rocky Mountain Institute in Colorado to the Catawba campus in July 2010 to teach alongside Catawba faculty.
An Environmental Science major from Mocksville, Cooley helps with the orchestration of Center events and speakers. "It's really neat to be able to meet the speakers in person and be able to talk with them," he says.
He is developing an educational program on bird watching as part of his GEO experience. He plans to take groups onto the ecological preserve on bird-watching expeditions. "The Center provides a place where I can apply what I have learned in the classroom," he says.
Sarah Robinson
Sarah Robinson knows that the presentations by renowned environmental leaders at the Center offer her opportunities rare in a small college setting. She was especially impressed with Lester Brown, founder of Worldwatch Institute and current founder and president of Earth Policy Institute, who spoke on the Catawba campus in 2008. "I liked his ideas about energy and food production and how making a change isn't that difficult," she says. "It's a mindset issue."
Robinson, a junior Environmental Science major from Cartersville, Va., has opportunities to teach and learn about how a non-profit works as a GEO Team member and work-study student. "I get hands-on experience in teaching," she says. "And I gain insights about non-profits."
She wants the GEO team to get out in the public schools more. "The way our school system is structured, when you are in high school is when you decide on a college major, and that determines your career path," she says. Robinson knows that offering ideas about environmental stewardship and ways to live sustainably can plant seeds in the high school students and influence what they study in the future.
She believes firmly that her generation needs to be educated about the environmental problems of the world so they can come up with viable solutions. Says she: "We need to be the ones to make it happen."
Sarah Moore
Environmental Education major Sarah Moore has multiple opportunities to interface with the Center
for the Environment. A junior from Mocksville, she has served as a work-study student at the Center for
three years and was an integral part of the first conversations about establishing the GEO Team.
The thought leaders who speak at the Center have given Moore a valuable perspective on her
field. "With each speaker I leave with something different," she says. "I learn a lot about the
environmental field with each one."
She finds it encouraging that more and more people are beginning to think about the environment. "The
first time I heard Dr. Magryta (a pediatrician who works with asthma patients) talk, I thought, 'Wow!
This is starting to get noticed in the health field.' And it was good to hear that even large corporations
are beginning to focus more on the environment."
Her passion is alternative energy resources. "I have such a strong feeling about things like mountaintop
removal and nuclear energy waste," Moore says. "There are so many other things we could be doing
instead of ruining our precious resources."
It's important for her generation to be advocates for the environment, she says. "We only have one
planet, and we don't need to mess this one up any more."
Kyra Thurow
Kyra Thurow, a junior environmental education major from Holly Springs, N.C., is an active member of both the GEO team and ECO (Environment Catawba Outreach). A former secretary of ECO, she now serves as the organization's president.
Thurow helps with Center programs, focusing particularly on events designed for school groups. In addition, she has helped with the Catawba Conservation Camp.
Her internship this semester involves researching migratory patterns of various bird species and different techniques that are used to prevent birds from flying into windows. Windows are a dominant feature of the Center for the Environment facility, and Thurow wants to have preventative measures in place before the migratory season begins.
Thurow notes that her involvement with the Center has given her a better understanding of how to work in an organization that focuses on green initiatives. "It has taught me how to get people involved and interested in those types of events, especially how to make the programs more exciting for kids," she says.
She wants to work with children in outdoor settings when she graduates and already has experience in that field. Her father is the executive director and her mother is the environmental education director of Agapé Kure Beach Ministries, a camp of the Lutheran Church, and she has spent the past five summers working with children at the camp in Fuquay-Varina, N.C.

Thanks for the replies SGTMAJ and Chad !!To my astonishment there was not one ant under the inner cover today. I will try coffee grounds anyway I guess. Hopefully the ants gave up, although I find it hard to believe they gave up that easy. I am feeding with frame feeders and have commercial inner covers with no feeder hole so maybe they could not get in. The cover was not glued yesterday, but maybe the bees sealed it well now. Who knows. It is taking forever to warm up here this year and has been windy almost every day so I have not been opening for anything other than feeding.As for boric acid, can I find that easily or do I have to order that.Thanks again Beek's
Cinnamon is a short term solution. It will wash away with the rain. What I usually do is sprinkle some around a new hive and on top of the incover. If you a long term Just sprinkle Talstar PL on ground all around hives. It will give me protection for about 3 months and it does not harm the bees. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/talstar-pl-granules-p-47.html?gclid=CPjhheyEqpkCFQrFGgodN1NIpg BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
Talstar Granules (Talstar PL) are used to control Ants (including Imported Fire Ants), roaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, worms, crickets, and almost all other insect pests on lawns, in landscaped areas and gardens, and perimeters of residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields.
I put coffee grinds out.Just sprinkle on ground all around hives.Seems to get rid of most of the ants without bothering the bees.We have always used it to get rid of fire ants.Always used old coffee grinds,but Ive been using rite out of the can around my hive.
20 muleteam borox laundry soap works
Used ones work.I used fresh ones last time ,because I don't drink allot of coffee anymore.I don't know what makes them work,just a old lady who lived next door to me showed me one day.seems to work good .

The Latino Policy Institute (LPI) is a non-profit organization committed to generating and communicating non-partisan data on Latinos in Rhode Island. This is an extension beyond reports that brings important topics to life.
On Tuesday, October 1, LPI's director Anna Cano Morales was invited to give a keynote address in the Joukowsky Forum of the Watson Institute. On the Monday night before, the keynote address was given by Ricardo Lagos, former president of Chile.
Over 40 young scholars with similar energy and passion to make the world a better place were gathered in the Forum on day three of their seven day program here in Providence; all representing different parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. The scholars are part of a program that brings together some 40 university students who have been deemed to have high potential and a vocation for public service. During the week, the students get to meet former presidents of countries, meet the RI Governor, Lincoln Chafee, watch cultural appearances, and also on their radar is the Latino Policy Institute at Roger Williams University.

I am starting to build a Rav Bralor costume for my wife. I have already purchased a mannequin to cut out for the chest armor. I was curious if anyone has any suggestions on the following parts:
1. What kinda boots have people used?
2. What have people used for the cape material?
3. Do people use the same chest shirt to attach the armor to as a Boba Fett costume? If not, would color or type of shirt can you use. If so, can anyone forward me a good boba fett shirt maker?
Thanks in advance!

Pictured above: Gwyneth Paltrow's dad's favorite pancakes. Get the recipe!
- Fruit, but think beyond just berries. You've probably had pancakes with blueberries or strawberries before, but any type of fruit can be a fabulous topping. Try making a fruit salsa topping with pineapple, mangos, and cherries or topping your cakes with thin slices of pear and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Yogurt. Skip the whipped cream and try yogurt instead! For an extra-creamy texture, use nonfat Greek yogurt. If you are looking for a tangy zip, try a dollop of plain yogurt with berries and honey or for a sweeter taste, choose a flavored variety.
- Applesauce. If you are a fan of apple pie, then try this. Warm some unsweetened applesauce for a few seconds in the microwave, then spread evenly over pancakes and sprinkle with cinnamon and pieces of toasted pecans or raisins.
- Nut Butters. Pancake breakfasts are great, but they can often be high in carbs and low in protein. Improve the protein ratio by topping your flapjacks with your favorite nut butter. For an on-the-go breakfast option, spread nut butter on a pancake in a thin layer, top with fruit, and roll up to take with you.
- Low-fat cheeses. Low-fat cheeses like part-skim ricotta or low-fat cottage cheese make a great creamy topping for pancakes. Simply spoon onto pancakes and make them savory or sweet by adding either fruit or diced veggies like tomatoes and cucumber.
- Real Maple Syrup. I can't write a blog about pancake toppings and not mention syrup. I recommend using real maple syrup to avoid additives. Choose a maple syrup that reads: pure maple syrup on the ingredient list (and nothing else)! Choosing the real thing will also mean that a little goes a long way in terms of flavor!
What are your favorite pancake toppings?

I might be the only one who thinks so, but to paraphrase Stephen A Smith - The Knicks still are not playing the game of basketball.
The true definition of addition by subtraction is any injury to Carmelo Anthony.
Tyson Chandler will outrebound and outblock the entire Pistons team.
No Carmello in the game tonight. Still, we won't show up to play a meaningful game. At 4-18 with one-third of the season completed......we have nothing to play for except the lottery. This mess has gotta be frustrating for the players........especially Monroe and BK......who bring their "A" game and watch as others play to their level of ineptitude....... Hard Knocks by 6 points...........
Carmelo is starting tonight.
The New York Bricks are destroying us from outside already. Embarassing perimeter d
How did Daye make it this far without learning how to dribble?
It's starting to get harder and harder to watch Daye on the floor. My 6 year old has better ball control than this dude.
5 - 5 3 pointers. What the hell is this? Seriously Frank needs to sort out some help/cover d systems. Im only watching the play by play but this doesn't look good.
Carmelo had two right in Tay's face. It wasn't the help-and-not-recover variety.
Melo is shooting with people on him? Maybe his wrist healed whilst he was sleeping. Why don't these things happen to us?
Current lineup: Russell-Wilkins-Daye-JJ-Maxiell. Layup drill for Amare & Melo.
Daye might just lead the league in unforced turnovers per minute.
Actually, that unit is keeping the game close.
Someone needs to tell Daye to just catch and shoot. He sucks at dribbling. I don't care if he shoots 100%, I hate watching this guy play.
He would be relatively poor at that too I'm sure
Seriously Stuck, stop dribbling the ball into oblivion. In case you were wondering, that's not considered moving the ball on offense.
Wow 3rd quarters really are terrible for this team aren't they? I think the correlation between 3rd quarter production and chance to win would be incredibly high for the pistons.
First only team to 80 wins this one.....I bet Pistons don't make it
Separate names with a comma.

But H&K are still polished turds.
I look forward to hearing more about the car as the miles rack up. As a prior owner of that generation Civic, the Elantra is a HUGE step up in terms of tech and refinement. My 2002 EX Coupe was mechanically reliable but ridiculously loud under acceleration or on the highway. It also would vibrate quite badly at idle with the AC on and had an irritating rattle somewhere in the back parcel shelf that the dealer never did fix.

Hyundai cars are really well equipped for the money, no doubt about it. We really wanted a Golf, but the 2.5L's fuel efficiency and premium pricing really kills the deal.
OP, the car looks great and you got a great deal. I'm sure you guys will enjoy it.
I mean its not bad but it is worse than the Elantra, Focus, VW Golf, Dart, Impreza, and those are just the ones I checked out the last two weeks since I am in the market for this class of car. The Verano sitting next to the Cruze was like a massive step above it (considering the Verano is cheaper than a Cruze LTZ).
And the Cruze is now in the premium compact price category.
Also I checked out the forums on Cruze talk and there are tons of reliability issues with the car, enough to make me run away even though I like GMs and they have some killer pricing. I know forums aren't a scientific measure but I do it for every car I consider.
Last edited by WhistlerYOW; 10-07-2012 at 12:20 AM.
Really nice car. I've always had a sweat spot for these cars. Also starting to like all Hyundai's in general.
Without getting too much off topic, how's the Sonata holding up after 2 years?
congrats on the new car. About time to change your username huh?
Congrats. Gotsta keep the lady happy.
I do like the Hyundai transmission in the Elantra. And I think the Elantra is one of the nicer profile and proportions in the compact class.
I remember tolerating my 91 Si's 4k roar at 80mph... for about 12 years and 200k+ miles, because it drove like a gokart.
I would like to know the real world mileage you get out of it, and how you like it after six months. I think Hyundai has finally reached the level of quality that Honda was at in the 1990's, and I mean that as a compliment. The best Hondas were built in the 1990s, and perhaps the best Hyundais are being built right now. Couldn't see buying a new Civic or Corolla over the Elantra.
OP, slick buy. I like the Elantra Limited best in sedan form actually but don't care for the fact that the 6MT is banished to the lower end models. At least the Elantra Coupe can be the loaded up SE model with the manual. Pops just picked up a loaded off-lease '12 Sonata Limited 2.0T and I find that the power of that thing in midrange is just ridiculous.
My only major problem with the car is that I didn't get the backup camera, and backing it into parking spaces is a pain because I can't see s*^t. I always have to end up hanging my head out the window to judge/see where the car is going/situated.
"Of course that's just my opinion; I could be wrong."

To the OP. I had one of these as a rental in Vegas, and I was impressed by it. Could never reach the mileage ratings, but it was otherwise put together nicely. I'm sure it will serve you well, and hey, happy wife happy life!
Hyundais (at least in the looks department), have come a long way in my opinion. They are actually fairly good looking vehicles.
As to drivetrain and ride quality, I cannot speak to that as I've never drive a-one.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Having a low key home track meet sometimes translates into sub-par performances. That wasn't the case Saturday, as the University of Tennessee women took full advantage of their opportunity with 12 personal-best performances, eight NCAA Regional qualifying marks and a school record in the pole vault from senior Christie Elwin at the Gatorade Classic at Tom Black Track.
Though the field was small and the competition wasn't up to the standards to which the Big Orange tracksters are accustomed, UT Head Coach J.J. Clark's squad managed to tally qualifiers in the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes, the 800 and 1500-meter runs as well as the pole vault and 4x400m relay. That effort was very pleasing to Clark as his squad went through its final competition prior to the SEC Outdoor Championships, which will be held in Knoxville, May 15-18.
"It was a very productive day with all the personal bests, qualifying marks and Christie's record," Clark said. "We got a lot of things done this afternoon and really sharpened ourselves for the SEC Championship meet. Considering everyone is going into finals next week, I thought we focused very well today.
"Really, it was one of our best all-around meets of the year. We have now had four-consecutive meets where we've turned in
solid performances, so I think we are continuing to move in the right direction. We're definitely doing a lot of good things right now."
Elwin was the final competitor in the meet to make her appearance, waiting until the entire pole vault field had run out of jumps. By then, the rest of the events had concluded and only a small crowd remained to cheer on the Adelaide, Australia, native as she improved her own school record with a clearance of 12-10. It replaced her old mark of 12-9.50, which she posted in Atlanta on May 19, 2001, in a last chance meet.
Making the occasion even more special to Elwin was the fact her parents, John and Jennifer, were on hand to see the victorious, record-setting vault, which marked the third-straight performance she has sailed above the regional qualifying standard. Taking aim at Tracy Carrington's Gatorade record of 13-0.25, three tries at 13-3.75 were unsuccessful. Fellow vaulters Jamie Rebella and Jessica Reust posted PRs of 11-5.75 and 10-11.75 to place second and fourth, respectively, and Kendra Rhyne was third at 11-5.75.
Earlier in the day, UT booked a pair of qualifying times from sophomores in the 100-meter dash, as Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.) raced to a season best and improved her regional mark to 11.66, while Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Canada) had a personal record of 11.69 to take second and earn a ticket to the Mideast Regional in Columbus, Ohio, on May 30-31. Trotter nearly missed a PR of her own, finishing just shy of her 11.65 career topper.
The same duo did battle in the 200 dash, with Trotter again coming out the winner. The Georgia native did not have an improvement with her victorious 23.72 clocking, but she did come in below the regional standard for the third time in four races this season. Olupona, meanwhile, was again the runner-up, bagging her second PR of the day in 24.12.
For the first time during the outdoor slate, the Lady Vols sent their top 4x400m relay combination onto the track. Despite the sparse field, the quartet of Trotter, sophomore Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), sophomore Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) and Olupona rolled to a provisional-qualifying 3:40.11 to take first. The Tennessee "B" tandem of freshman Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.), redshirt freshman Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.), junior Christina Billings (Madison, Wis.) and junior Erin Anderson (Kent, Ohio) was second in 4:09.07.
The Big Orange also got regional marks in events where the qualifiers probably won't compete in Columbus. Cook, already in via the 800m, notched an impressive 54.11 readout in the 400 meters to chart a PR and meet the NCAA standard en route to victory. Senior Sharon Dickie (Grand Blanc, Mich.), a 5000m qualifier, took the 1500 meters with a Mideast-ready 4:24.98 personal best, while Novak was second in the 800 in a PR and regional-qualifying time of 2:09.98 behind 2000 Olympian Hazel Clark's winning 2:05.29.
Other noteworthy career bests came from Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.), who was third in the 1500 meters in 4:39.19; and Gorham, who was third in the 800m in 2:12.95. Unattached competitor Michelle Boswell broke a Gatorade record with a heave of 198-11 in the hammer throw. Former South Carolina standout Dawn Ellerbe previously set the mark at 195-4 on May 4, 1996.
UT is idle next weekend as the squad prepares to host the league gathering in two weeks.

View Shelley Powers's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of Learning JavaScript, Second Edition, is a baby black, or hook-lipped, rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis). The black rhino is one of two African species of rhinos. Weighing up to one and a half tons, it is smaller than its counterpart-the white, or square-lipped, rhinoceros. Black rhinos live in savanna grasslands, open woodlands, and mountain forests in a few small areas of southwestern, south central, and eastern Africa. They prefer to live alone and will aggressively defend their territory.
With an upper lip that tapers to a hooklike point, the black rhino is perfectly suited to pluck leaves, twigs, and buds from trees and bushes. It is able to eat coarser vegetation than other herbivores.
Black rhinos are odd-toed ungulates, meaning they have three toes on each foot. They have thick, gray, hairless hides. Among the most distinctive of the rhino's features is its two horns, which are actually made of thickly matted hair rather than bone. The rhino uses its horns to defend itself against lions, tigers, and hyenas, or to claim a female mate. The courtship ritual is often violent, and the horns can inflict severe wounds.
After mating, the female and male rhinos have no further contact. The gestation period is 14 to 18 months, and the calves nurse for a year, though they are able to eat vegetation almost immediately after birth. The bond between a mother and her calf can last up to four years before the calf leaves its home.
In recent years, rhinos have been hunted to the point of near extinction. Scientists estimate that there may have been as many as a million black rhinos in Africa 100 years ago, a number that has dwindled to 2,400 today. All five remaining species, which include the Indian, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos, are now endangered. Humans are considered their biggest predators.

Aged, unorganized, thin

Comments about oreilly Learning JavaScript, 2nd Edition:
The book was published in 2008, and it shows. The progression of chapters doesn't make sense. And there are a lot of wholes concerning modern uses for javascript. I would not recommend this book.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Solid, well-written book
By Larry
from Undisclosed
At 300 pages this book isn't a quick read, but it's certainly smaller than the typical several-hundred page tech book. And that's important if you're trying to come up to speed on a new technology but still have a life to live. And, let's face it, learning new technologies is never "factored into the schedule", so a concise, clear, and well-written book is a good find.Shelley does a good job covering the basics of the language and pointing out the ever-present bane of web developers: browser incompatibility. (Especially due to Internet Explorer, which has probably elicited more swearing than any other product since Microsoft Word.)The good thing is she doesn't leave you high and dry, rather she provides clear, reusable helper functions which you can use in your own code to deal with the differences.

The diagnosis of Graves' disease may include:
Blood sample. Your doctor will order blood tests to determine your levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the pituitary hormone that normally stimulates the thyroid gland, as well as levels of thyroid hormones. People with Graves' disease usually have lower than normal levels of TSH and higher levels of thyroid hormones.
Another laboratory test measures the levels of the antibody known to cause Graves' disease. This test usually isn't necessary to make a diagnosis, but a negative result might indicate another cause for hyperthyroidism.

Arsenal Football Club and its official global charity partner, Save the Children, are delighted to announce the launch of 'Be a Gunner. Be a Runner', which will return to Emirates Stadium on Saturday 31st March 2012.
If you're looking for a New Year challenge, the 10-lap, 6.4 kilometre fun-run around the outside of the Gunners' home could be the event for you! Registration for the run will open in early January for all Arsenal fans, keen runners and anyone else who would like to support Save the Children, but you can register your interest in taking part NOW by sending your name, address and contact details to email@example.com.
Following the success of the 2011 event, there will also be another special junior race on the day for youngsters under the age of 15, making it a real occasion for all the family. Look out for more information soon on www.arsenal.com/juniorgunners.
Entry to the race for adults costs £15 and due to the limited number of spaces available, all runners are encouraged to raise at least £100 in sponsorship. Any runner that manages to raise over £500 for the charity will be deemed a 'Top Gunner' and will receive a special gold running number on race day. Participants will also receive a series of weekly newsletters featuring a host of useful training and fundraising advice, as well as a full event guide ahead of race day.
Last year's event was the most successful to date, attracting 700 adult and junior runners and raising in excess of £50,000 for charity. This year, the Club is hoping to do even better and is also extending the race to overseas fans, who will be able to get involved and find out more via their local Supporters' Club in the New Year.
All funds raised from the event will go towards supporting Save the Children on a range of education projects in the UK and overseas, helping the poorest children get a better start in life and giving them the chance to grow and fulfil their potential. Through this work, the Club will help Save the Children towards its vision of transforming the lives of over three million children a year through education by 2013.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Wayne State University Law School Names New Associate Dean
DETROIT (April 1, 2008) – Wayne State University Law School is proud to announce the appointment of Associate Professor John Rothchild as Associate Dean of the Law School. Professor Rothchild will assume his new responsibilities upon the departure of Associate Dean David Moran, late this spring.
"Professor Rothchild was nominated for the position by several of his faculty colleagues, and for good reason," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "In addition to chairing a number of vital Law School committees, he is a highly regarded faculty member who brings to the position of Associate Dean a wealth of institutional knowledge and an intense desire to make the most of our Law School's assets."
A graduate of Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Professor Rothchild joined the Wayne Law faculty in 2001. He teaches courses in electronic commerce law, copyright law, international intellectual property law, constitutional law, ancient Greek and Roman law, and privacy law.
Professor Rothchild is co-author (with Margaret Jane Radin, R. Anthony Reese, and Gregory M. Silverman) of "Internet Commerce," a law school casebook published by Foundation Press, which has been adopted for classroom teaching at numerous law schools.
From 1991 to 2001, Professor Rothchild was an attorney at the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection, specializing in law enforcement efforts addressing Internet-based fraud and online compliance issues. For several years he led the Commission's international consumer protection program.
He served as Chairperson of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Consumer Protection Guidelines Project, which developed guidelines for controlling fraudulent and misleading conduct in electronic commerce. He also served as a member of the U.S. delegation to the OECD's Committee on Consumer Policy, and of the U.S. delegation to the International Marketing Supervision Network.
From 1998 to 1999, he was engaged in research and writing as a Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School, where he received the Victor H. Kramer Foundation fellowship. From 1987 to 1991, he was an associate in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Bredhoff & Kaiser, representing labor unions and pension plans. He was a law clerk for the Hon. Arlin M. Adams, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, from 1986 to 1987.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne Law students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities. For more information, visit www.law.wayne.edu.

Feminism | Posted by Tanvi S on 09/8/2014
The LGBTQ Movement Is About More Than Marriage Equality
Many activists have brought attention to the fact that the LGBTQ movement – or at least the public perception of it is — is too focused on marriage. It seems that the media has almost made the entire social movement synonymous with same-sex marriage, which distracts from the vast array of other problems that the LGBTQ community faces. There are plenty of other issues that this movement addresses and the media must do a better job of focusing on those fights as well.
For example, violence against trans and queer people (especially trans and queer people of color) is on the rise. Homelessness and poverty disproportionately affect the LGBTQ community for a variety of reasons including employment discrimination, lack of health care, and housing discrimination. LGBTQ youth are bullied in …

Arsenal Football Club is dedicating Saturday's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion to The Arsenal Foundation, the Club's charitable arm aimed at transforming young people's lives.
Money raised from the matchday will go towards supporting even more education and sport projects in the UK and overseas, continuing the Club's long and proud tradition of helping the community.
Since its launch in May 2012, The Arsenal Foundation has made grants towards a number of projects that are starting reap the benefits of the Club's support:
Save the Children
A donation of £70,000 has already seen Save the Children deliver its Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP!) and Families and Schools Together (FAST) programmes for the first time in Islington, improving the wellbeing of over 100 families in the local area.
Duncombe Primary School and St. Mark's Primary School embarked on the eight-week FAST programme – an initiative that enables parents to develop the skills and confidence they need to better support and take a more active role in their children's education, while playing a greater role in their community.
Each week, families took part in practical and fun activities, designed to improve children's wellbeing and help develop their relationships.
Members of Arsenal staff have also been given the opportunity in recent weeks to visit the schools and experience FAST first-hand.
Speaking about the positive impact of FAST at Duncombe Primary School, Headteacher, Barrie O'Shea, said:
"I'm enormously grateful to the parents for coming back to FAST week after week and supporting their children in the programme. Without a doubt, FAST has had a positive effect on those families who have attended over the past eight weeks and we at Duncombe look forward to taking part in the programme again. I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Save the Children and Arsenal for making it all happen."
Further afield in China, 15,000 children attending some of Beijing's most disadvantaged schools will benefit from a £300,000 donation over three years to Save the Children, aimed at improving their quality of their education. Abou Diaby and Johan Djourou visited one of the schools set to benefit from the grant during the Club's Asia Tour this summer and presented a book of inspirational childhood tales from supporters and players.
Local Pitch Refurbishments
Since 2006, Arsenal has contributed more than £750,000 towards the upgrade of six local football pitches.
Earlier in the year, Carl Jenkinson visited a newly refurbished pitch on the Suffolk Estate in Hackney that had been made possible thanks to funding from The Arsenal Foundation and other partners including Mears Group and the Metropolitan Police, who combined to transform the site which had fallen into disrepair.
As well as removing and dismantling old metal goal and basketball posts, trenches were dug to accommodate new floodlights and a new brick wall built at the back of the pitch. Local youngsters, meanwhile, made their mark on the new site by producing bespoke artwork around the sides of the pitch, which will provide a positive focus for an area that has been blighted by gangs and antisocial behaviour.
Rowley Way in West Hampstead is the next site that will benefit from a donation and turn a once dilapidated facility into a new astroturfed facility for local youngsters to use.
Freedom from Torture
A joint project between Arsenal in the Community and Freedom from Torture uses football as a therapeutic tool and has been enjoying great success after just six months.
The unique collaboration offers clients from the local charity weekly Arsenal ESOL (English for speakers of other Languages) workshops, delivered by Arsenal in the Community staff which uses a similar approach to the popular Double Club model to develop confidence as well as language and social skills within the participants. The material is delivered in a class room setting and has ranged from Arsenal themed resources to healthy eating, travelling in London and recycling.
In April 2012, A Football Activity Group, run by Arsenal in the Community coaches and Freedom from Torture's group therapist, Selcuk Berilgen, was set up to deliver football sessions together to a group of between 10-15 clients who meet once a week for football training in Elthorne Park, Islington. The group come from countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Turkey, Sierra Leone, Iran, Ivory Coast, Afghanistan and Eritrea.
Selcuk said: "It's been really good. The change has been visible from the word go. The group is supportive of one another – there are partnerships, friendships, team work and togetherness. Football helps in multiple ways – it's great exercise, it's healthy, they say they're sleeping better, and the confidence in the body, for torture survivors, positively affects the mind too.
The Elfrida Society
A leading local charity based in Islington for adults with learning difficulties, the Elfrida Society holds football sessions every Monday morning, led by an Arsenal in the Community coach to ensure that there are no barriers to enjoying and playing football with Arsenal. A grant from The Arsenal Foundation will enable the department to continue running its Disability programmes with the charity.

Location: Vegetable Crops ResearchTitle: Potato Flavor Author
Submitted to: American Journal of Potato Research
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/27/2009
Publication Date: 3/29/2010
Citation: Jansky, S.H. 2010. Potato Flavor. American Journal of Potato Research. 87(2):209-217. Interpretive Summary: Potato breeders and growers are interested in developing more flavorful potato varieties in order to increase consumer interest in fresh potato consumption. This article discusses the compounds that contribute to the major flavor components of potatoes, including taste, texture, and aroma. The effects of production environment, storage, and potato variety on flavor components are reviewed. Changes in flavor due to cooking method are also discussed.
Technical Abstract: The potato is one of the most popular vegetables worldwide and is the most important vegetable crop in the United States, accounting for nearly one-third of per-capita vegetable consumption. Potatoes can be prepared in many ways, including baking, boiling, roasting, frying, and microwaving, allowing for a diversity of uses. Most people find potatoes to be an agreeable food and very few actually dislike potatoes. Potato flavor results from the combination of taste, aroma, and texture. Flavor precursors synthesized by the plant are present in raw potatoes and consist mainly of sugars, amino acids, RNA, and lipids. Plant genotype, production environment and storage environment influence the levels of these compounds and the enzymes that react with them to produce flavor compounds. During cooking, flavor precursors react to produce the Maillard reaction compounds and the sugar, lipid and RNA degradation products that contribute to flavor.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I always put an extra large rubber mat in the tub. I had one tall female GSDx who was still afraid of the tub, but I decided it was because of her bad hips. Even with the mat she would dig her claws in like a cat and stiffen right up in fear. I found that if I sat on the edge of the tub with my knees and legs up under her belly, she figured out that if she slipped she still had the support of my lap. She relaxed then, and baths were no longer a huge ordeal for her.
Baths have always been easier for the tall ones who can just step into the tub. Unfortunately the two I have now are not so tall, and our new house has a taller tub, so I am lifting them in--and I wonder why my back is so bad...
|When he goes outside maybe get him a little wet with the hose. Then get him wetter and wetter a day. Another idea is too put him in and out of the bathtub each day. Then fill it with a little bit of water a day. Then if he's used to it fill it all up and let him jump in.
My Sadie Mae (and I !!) had a terrible "first bath" experience. She was too new to the house and probably a bit too young. It was like watching the Exorcist. She was about 12 -14 weeks old back then. Now she is a bit over 10 months, but she is also a bit leary of the bathtub, although not so much the actual bathroom anymore, even though I have never forced her to go through that trauma again.
What I did to help make her comfortable with the idea of getting a bath was to make the "experience" as much fun as possible and as least intimidating as possible. I don't take her in the small bathtub or even in an enclosed room at all. I bought a $12 plastic, children's wading pool (kiddie pool) and just played with it the first week, letting her watch and sniff and get close AND run away, while I used the hose and put water in and picked it up and dumped the water out. Dogs are naturally curious and even though the water and tub was strange and different, she wanted to know what I was doing. Then the next week, I played in the tub myself, jumping in and out, laughing, joyful, spalshing. It excited her, not enough to get in...but she was seeing it was not "dangerous." Then the following week, I played catch with her and kept throwing the ball into the water (tennis balls float) or I sat in the water and held a piece of ham, something too irresistable for her. She was in that week and withstood the bathing. She realizes that it ends soon enough and that she gets a good treat when she behaves well, too. (Same thing with brushing...she used to run and bark at the brush. Now she gets excited and lays down in front of me, ready for her brushing. But I know it's the treat!) She doesn't exactly "love" her baths, but she is not terrified, nor do I feel like the horrible abusive mother either.

On a similar note, Apsel has taken to dipping his whole face under water in the pool lately. He likes to just sit on the steps and not swim around, I think he may be a little lazy. But I got him to grab a tennis ball from underwater once, and from then on he's done this whole dip the face under water thing for no reason. After he's done sitting in the water and his face is wet, he'll get up and find the nearest bunch of liriope grass and wipe his face in it, I guess to dry it off.
After Gunther runs through the sprinkler he rubs his face all over the hard branches of our hedges. I have no clue what that's about. Perhaps I won't try that one...
|Hm, that's a tough one. Maybe use treats to help him distract him? Make it fun; try and train him in and out of the bathtub first then turn the water on when he's not so scared of it anymore. It will take a lot of patient. Patient is key lol. It took a while for my dog not to be scared of a vacuum cleaner.

|With my kids, I try to start them early. Thankfully that works pretty well. I know my Rottie would go jump in the tub and sit there waiting for me to come run the water. LOL he even slept in the tub at night in the summer to get the cool. But on the ones I've got later on in their lives, I just use a lot of patience, try to bathe them regularly so they have a good experience fresh in their minds and be very gentle and reassuring to them. If you can find the trigger he is frightened by, then you may be better off on trying to resolve. May be the slick floor, may be the sound of the water. Just keep a lot of towels handy and you may do well to get an outside setup. I can wash my guys in a tub set up I have in the garage which consists of a plastic livestock trough and a hose with a nozzle that has the mist and rainfall settings so you can control the water flow making it gentle for the dog. This way I can regulate the water and have something durable I can use to bathe them. I also can wash them in a large walk in shower we have in the house. That works well to just get in the shower and get the dog in too. Scrub them down, then have your spouse take the dog on to their crate or where ever you let them dry. Clean up works great too, a quick shower for you and you are done.
|I got Peaches from the breeder at 1 years old, she could not get her to take a bath, Peaches loved biting hose water. I would take a bath, and everyone who has GSDs know, bathroom time is not private time; Peaches would sit next to me in the tub. I would splash water in the tub and she would get curious and stick her head over the side, then later one foot, both front feet, and so on. Her bond and interaction with me was the key. It became her idea to enter the tub and play and bath became part of the play. When we are done towel monster is still her favorite part. Now she plays in the wading pool, swims in the pond and loves water.
You've got some great advise here.
Yes on the matt - Being a little slow on the uptake I couldn't figure why the late Barker Sisters started resisting baths when I moved. Finally dawned on me that the tub was slick - floor matts solved that problem!
My variation on what other people have advised: Get lots of towels, put a lot of these on the bathroom floor. Get lots of treats. Get dog(s) (yes, I did a duet). Get yourself nude or near nude. prepare the bath water. Dampen the dogs before they get in the tub, soap them before they get in the tub. Get in the tub, call the dogs in (one at a time unless you've got a really big tub) WITH treats and enthusiasm. (With very good treats and lots of enthusiasm). Rinse dogs. The late Barker the Younger liked to hop in and out a couple of times. That should be fine (see reference to lots of towels on the floor.) Keep it fun, keep it upbeat. Rinse the dogs off - that's all the tub is for - a nice rinse. Make it a PARTY!!!
(THis is a change up from Dog gets tense, handler gets tense, bath is a disaster and everyone is upset -- it is an everyone is having fun experience.) After the dogs are bathed and toweled and turned loose to rip through the yard or house, the human can clean the bathroom - it's wet already eh? - and shower themselves...

I give my dog a bath/shower with me in the shower/bath....don't know if that is weird but there is no struggle on behalf of my current dog. My previous 2 GSDs were a bit leery of going into the bath/shower but once they were in and the sliding door closed they were fine.
On a side note...why do dogs after they are bathed have this compulsion to do victory laps around the house or yard after they are done? I can't imagine they are trying to dry themselves off as they do not exhibit the same behavior after getting out of the pool or lake.

Congrats for 1) taking up shooting and 2) for having enough common sense as a newbie to get professional instruction!
Took a private NRA class this past weekend and shot my first handgun. Targets are 9" the first one is two S&W revolvers a .22lr and a .38. Second is from a Kimber compact custom shop .45. Not sure of the exact distance, it seemed about 15ft. Had a great time! Now waiting the 2-3 months to get the phone call to pick up my permit.
Congrats for 1) taking up shooting and 2) for having enough common sense as a newbie to get professional instruction!
you talking about your ccw permit? you dont have to own a gun to get one? or are those guns you listed yours?
Yes, but you can't buy one without the permit. There is also an eligibility cert you can get but i'm not sure how that works. But I have neither. The guns were my instructors accept for the Kimber, he borrowed it from a friend because I mentioned I was interested in them. I thought that was really nice of him.
Thanks todd!
yeah, that is pretty cool of him. also, I wasnt sure because here, if you can buy it you can carry it, as long as its not concealed. you need the permit for that part of it.
Yeah CT is a little more strict with it all. I'd imagine you can get the certificate to purchase, but then you cant carry I'm assuming ? So it seems pointless to not just get the CCW permit.

WSJ editorial claimed Clinton pioneered Bush rendition policy, revived bogus accusation that Clinton declined Sudan's offer of bin Laden
A Wall Street Journal editorial attempted to deflect criticism of the Bush administration's use of "extraordinary rendition" -- the practice of transferring terrorism suspects to countries known for using torture in interrogations -- by claiming baselessly that "the Clinton Administration used the rendering practice with the avowed expectation that suspects would be tortured, or worse" [emphasis in original]. In the process, the Journal revived the long-discredited allegation that "the government of Sudan offered to deliver Osama bin Laden (then living in Khartoum) into U.S. custody" during the Clinton administration.
The Journal's March 11 editorial [1] began by reviving the unfounded allegation that Sudan offered bin Laden to the United States in 1996:
It happens that in the spring of 1996, the government of Sudan offered to deliver Osama bin Laden (then living in Khartoum) into U.S. custody. The Clinton Administration was aware of the threat bin Laden posed, but it worried it didn't yet have sufficient information to indict him on terrorism charges in court. Instead, the U.S. sought to have the Saudis take bin Laden and behead him.
In fact, though conservatives have frequently repeated [2] the accusation that the Clinton administration declined an offer by Sudan to hand over bin Laden, the 9-11 Commission rejected it as baseless. Chapter 4 [3] of the commission's final report stated: "Sudan's minister of defense, Fatih Erwa, has claimed that Sudan offered to hand Bin Ladin over to the United States. The Commission has found no credible evidence that this was so."
Next, the Journal repeated a purported quotation* [4] from Samuel "Sandy" Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, in which he explained that the administration had tried to get Saudi Arabia to take bin Laden from Sudan, then used Berger's remark to conclude that Clinton resorted to torture more readily than Bush:
"In the United States, we have this thing called the Constitution, so to bring him here is to bring him into the justice system," Mr. Berger told the Washington Post in October 2001. "I don't think that was our first choice. Our first choice was to send him someplace where justice is more 'streamlined.'"
In other words, the Clinton Administration used the rendering practice with the avowed expectation that suspects would be tortured, or worse. The Bush Administration says it uses it only on condition of humane treatment and assigns personnel to "monitor compliance." If this is a torture scandal, it didn't start on September 12, 2001.
In fact, the 9-11 commission has also refuted the assertion that the Clinton administration targeted bin Laden for rendition. A staff statement [5] concluded: "No rendition plan targeting Bin Ladin, who was still perceived as a terrorist financier, was requested by or presented to senior policymakers during 1996."
Indeed, even if the United States did try to convince Saudi Arabia to accept bin Laden from Sudan, the Journal's suggestion that the Clinton administration's alleged use of rendition is comparable to Bush's ignores substantial evidence to the contrary, as Media Matters for America has noted [6]. The New York Times reported [7] on March 6 that the Clinton administration enforced much greater oversight and tighter restrictions on renditions and generally used the practice to send suspects to a country where they would face criminal prosecutions, rather than solely to undergo interrogation, as the Bush administration has reportedly authorized.
Similarly, Jane Mayer reported [8] in the February 14 edition of The New Yorker that the limited rendition program under President Clinton expanded after 9-11 "beyond recognition":
Rendition was originally carried out on a limited basis, but after September 11th, when President Bush declared a global war on terrorism, the program expanded beyond recognition -- becoming, according to a former C.I.A. official, "an abomination." What began as a program aimed at a small, discrete set of suspects -- people against whom there were outstanding foreign arrest warrants -- came to include a wide and ill-defined population that the Administration terms "illegal enemy combatants."
* The Journal's source for the quotation of Berger attributed to The Washington Post was apparently an October 3, 2001, Post article [9] by special projects reporter Barton Gellman titled "U.S. Was Foiled Multiple Times in Efforts to Capture Bin Laden or Have Him Killed." But the above quotation appears neither in the online version nor in the Nexis version of the article. On the other hand, the Albany Times-Union reprinted [10] a version of the article that did contain the quotations.

Asparagus Gruyere Tart
Especially when made with plump, in-season asparagus, this dish makes for a sophisticated, visually pleasing appetizer.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March/April 2003
- Flour, for work surface
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
- 5 1/2 ounces (2 cups) Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 pounds medium or thick asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.Watch: How to Prep Asparagus

Mass production of Stormtroopers at work.
Well, their helmets anyway.
Hehe, that's pretty cool.
Yup, thats cool. When I got my hands on the first lego stormtrooper, I was astonished how accurate the helmet was. Dimension wise, at least. So astonished, that I bought a whole load of 'em on ebay...
Alright...I can't figure out how to watch the darn video. CAn someone please help me?!?!?
That's hillarious.
It's kind of a bummer honestly how crazy Lego has gone with their licensing though. As much as I love Star Wars AND Legos, I kinda feel they should never have crossed them, and then make video games based on that.
Haha thats so cool! Was anyone else getting a kind of creepy feeling??? I have no idea why, but it was sort of creepy to me. haha... kind of Frankensteinish. haha
:skull El1te
I have wondered since I was about four how they got the little faces on the yellow heads, and I'm assuming it's the same way they print out the helmet.
Hooray for Lego factories
Now if only someone had a video for how the M&M's logo gets on those tiny candies :)

Could you ESL gurus in this forum help with suggestions,ideas and refining of the essay down below?
Write about why you want to follow the CELTA course and why you think you would be suited to a career in teaching English. (Minimum of 250 words).
My write-up:
I am writing to apply to your higly esteemed school for the CELTA course in summer of 2009 because of the positive reviews from hotcourses.com and also because of the close proximity to central London.
I will be enrolling on the course as an EFL teacher with over five years classroom experience and also with some other EFL qualifications. I have specialist certificates, diplomas and graduate diplomas in TEFL and TESOL which I did online.
I decided to follow the CELTA course because of the classroom/teaching experience which I've longed for particularly in the UK, the course contents, its relevancy to English language teaching, the certificate recognition, perhaps better job prospects in the future and most of all, self-fulfillment.
I am already in the teaching profession, so it's already my career and I don't see myself ditching it and venturing into other disciplines at least in the nearest future.
During my teaching career, I've developed a strong passion for the daily tasks involved. I've come to stay in this profession because of the joy I derived when I see my students grow in their studies and life endeavours. I couldn't be happier when I receive calls from my students (current or former) telling me about their success in exams, job interviews or further studies elsewhere.
Based on my life and work experience (having worked in different sectors and continents so far), couple with my outgoing personality and charisma I believe I am well and most suited for a teaching career. I look forward to give my very best in the course come August/September, 2009, hopefully do well in the tasks and come out a better and refined teacher.

There isn't a sole, singular step companies and brands must follow to deliver engaging digital customer experiences. Website, mobile, social? Video streaming, content targeting, effective email campaigns, smarter analytics? Yes, please. And more of it.
Your challenge is finding the right mix (and prioritizing what makes sense) to make digital experience initiatives successful.
So let's stipulate that in order differentiate with digital, you've got to consider what will get you there and establish priorities for your next budget cycle or next wave of strategic investment.
Although your priorities may vary, it's instructive to see what other companies are investing in for better digital experiences.
You can get a clear view of this in recently available Forrester Research survey data. Earlier this year, Forrester surveyed 170 web content management professionals in a variety of industries asking for responses on what they have deployed, or plan to deploy in the next 12 months, to support online experiences.
Mobile content delivery, video streaming, email tools, and content targeting are high on the list of capabilities or near-term focus to serve digital experience requirements, according to respondents.
It's important to note that even though we targeted our survey at WCM professionals, this does not mean they intend to source these capabilities from their existing WCM vendor. Many web content management software providers have done great work to retool their solutions to include many of the piece-parts that go into supporting digital experiences.

What's the correct ratio of web content management software license price to implementation cost?
Clients frequently ask us some variation of the ratio question. As they try to do more with digital, they realize this stuff gets complex and costly pretty quickly.
The answer to their ratio question is: It depends. I can't endorse a standard ratio of software to services because I don't believe one exists. For very modest projects, might you expect to spend two dollars on services for every one dollar in software? It's possible. But I've seen it more commonly grow to five-, six-, or ten-fold (occasionally more), as projects like these have long tentacles that reach beyond just software. The cost of software? That's table stakes. WCM vendors may whisper sweet nothings in your ear about how easy it is to implement; I say ask someone who's done it before with that product – and get them to be specific about 'what' was done as part of their project.
The more urgent question is whether you can keep your eye on the prize, focusing perceptions at your organization on the value of the total solution you're trying to create. Although WCM technology may occupy the spotlight and serve as an integral part of the total solution, there's usually a lot more to consider. The scope and cost estimate of your initiative may make executives' eyebrows pop up. But what really should make their eyes pop is fairly assessing the opportunity cost of not tackling the initiative in a way that reflects the importance of the digital channel to your business.

anybody here ever experienced the supernatural in their cars? did anybody get something extra with their project or restored car?
a friend of mine told me last night about an old toyota corona they bought back in the 90's. the car was an early 80's model. it was said that a friend of the previous owner figured in an accident, and died in the backseat on the way to the hospital. so what they did was they had the car blessed.
however, weird stuff started to occur. like the lights flashing once or twice at night... with a dead battery. also, my friend swore that he once heard some sort of "wheezing" sound from the car, like someone who has trouble breathing.
so anybody here experienced similar tales?

'Florida came out inexplicably flat, gave up three goals in a horrid first period and ultimately dropped a 5-3 decision to the Buffalo Sabres at National Car Rental Center. While the official record shows the game-deciding goal came with 1:17 remaining in regulation, this was a game Florida lost much earlier.'
