Four vying for Borg's seat
Potential Parliamentarians come forward
At least four Nationalist Party candidates are vying for the parliamentary seat vacated by Tonio Borg, who has been appointed European Commissioner.
Doctor Michael Asciak, architect Giorgio Schembri, and lawyers Martin Fenech and Josianne Cardona Gatt all confirmed their intention to throw their names in the hat for the casual election being held on Wednesday.
Lija mayor Ian Castaldi Paris said he had not made up his mind yet but was more inclined to put his personal ambitions aside for the time being to focus his efforts on his mayorship which expires in March.
Contacted yesterday, all contenders said they were aware that, with dissident PN backbencher Franco Debono's threat to vote the Budget down on December 10, their parliamentary seat could last just five days – during which Parliament does not even convene.
But they all believe it is worth it and feel they owe it to those who voted for them in the 2008 general election, but still failed to make it to Parliament.
According to electoral law, the casual election must be contested by candidates on the last election's ballot sheet when the person who vacated his seat was elected.
Dr Borg's first-preference votes will be opened to see where his voters' next preference went.
Dr Borg was elected on the eight electoral district which covers the largest town in Malta – Birkirkara. He received 3,780 first-count votes and was elected after Finance Minister Tonio Fenech, who notched up 5,509 votes.
Dr Asciak received 564 votes, followed by Dr Fenech with 399, Dr Castaldi Paris with 317 votes, Dr Cardona Gatt with 160 votes and Mr Schembri with 128 first-count votes.
Dr Asciak, who is the favourite to grab the seat, is a former MP. He said he would be willing to vacate his seat if MEP Simon Busuttil is elected as the party's deputy leader in today's election.
Dr Fenech and Dr Cardona Gatt both said they would be taking part in the casual election because they felt they owed it to their constituents.
"I owe an allegiance to the people who voted for me. I feel I have a duty to go for it," Dr Fenech said.
Dr Cardona Gatt said: "It is certainly worth being there and giving the PN all the support it deserves."
All, except Dr Fenech, have confirmed they intend contesting the upcoming general election too.
Candidates have until Monday at 1pm to submit their nomination.

Kelly Clarkson Performs 'Underneath the Tree' on the 'TODAY' Show, Discusses Morning Sickness
Kelly Clarkson brought some Christmas cheer to the set of the 'TODAY' show this morning (Nov. 26), performing her latest single, 'Underneath the Tree.'
Kelly Clarkson brought some Christmas cheer to the set of the 'TODAY' show this morning (Nov. 26), performing her latest single, 'Underneath the Tree.'
Miley Cyrus commandeered NYC this morning (Oct. 7). It was unseasonably muggy in Manhattan, but the sticky, wet weather didn't deter Cyrus from doing her thing on the 'TODAY' show.
By her own admission, pop diva and the ultimate queen bee Cher is not a morning person. That's why today (Sept. 23) marked her first time performing on a morning TV show...ever! She dutifully got up early and hit the stage in Rockefeller Center on a brisk autumn morning to entertain the NYC faithful.
Phillip Phillips was on hand at the 'TODAY' show this morning to bring it on 'Home'! The 'American Idol' winner was the musical guest on the morning show's Summer Concert Series in Rockefeller Center, treating fans to performances of his hits 'Home,' 'Gone Gone Gone' and 'Man on the Moon.'
Demi Lovato committed an oopsie when performing her new single 'Heart Attack' on 'Good Morning America' today (April 10), flubbing the lyrics. She messed up some of the lyrics on the first verse, tripping over herself. But she rebounded quickly. It sounds like she just got a little tongue-tied.
When a multi-Grammy-winning, across-the-globe successful act shows up to play outside the NBC 'Today' show studios, they don't come alone. Coldplay took the stage to perform on Friday's show, and as expected, music fans packed Rockefeller Center hoping to catch a glimpse — or at least an earful.
My favorite start to my day is seeing Al Roker and the gang on Today. Sad news to report on, just days after Katie Couric announced that she would be leaving CBS Evening News, Meredith Viera has revealed yesterday at that she will be leaving her spot on The Today Show in June.

Re: Trailer Brakes
Forgot this, had surge brakes on two boats, one was total boat and trailer weight of about 5,500 lbs, the other, about 2,500 lbs. They both worked the same, you just were not aware they were working although braking on the car or truck was as if the boat was not there.

Re: Trailer Brakes
As mentioned above, I used surge brakes, same trailer, for over 20 years including salt water. Although there was some wear on the shoes I never had to replace them. I would test the linkage from time to time by putting blocks behind the wheels and have my wife put the car in reverse. It didn't take much effort to have the linkage go through its travel.
It was hard to tell how much they were working but it seemed like I never had to get on the car brakes any harder than normal. They also help to keep the trailer behind the car in slippery or icy conditions.
Paul T
Re: Trailer Brakes
I currently own four boats on trailers. One doesn't have brakes, the other three braking systems are in various stages of needing repair. I have tried waterproof electric, I have used surge, and standard electric. Frankly I have never had a set of trailer brakes last more than about a year no matter what I do. So I have just given up. I got a larger tow vehicle, rebuilt the braking system to oversize it, and took all the brakes off the trailers. Unless you are never going to ramp launch the boat, I don't think any braking system is going to last long term (and yes I know someone here will have a set that has worked for them).
My heaviest towed boat btw is 5,500lbs including trailer.
Re: Trailer Brakes
We had surge brakes and they are simple if maintained properly, such as fluid and shoe adjustment. It was, however, somewhat hard to tell exactly how hard they were braking although we never had our towing vehicles brakes heat up. Ours had an interlock lever that allowed you to back up a hill with no problem. After the expense of retrofitting brakes,
which may or may not be compatible with the trailer's design, you might want to explore the possibility of a new or used trailer properly equipped with brakes. If you retrofit, a trailer manufacturer might be a good source for parts and fabrication. Also, I have read NOT to use surge brakes if you have a load equalizing hitch
Paul T
Re: Trailer Brakes
Best to have very good brakes on the tow vehicle. While its been a very long time since we've had a trailer, the surge brakes seemed pretty marginal, whether required or not.
Re: Trailer Brakes
1. Electric brakes are better from a driving standpoint as the other posters have pointed out. The trick is needing to get ones that can be immersed. Hydraulic brakes would be fine on your relatively lightweight trailer provided that you have a reasonably good tow vehicle. What are you using? One thing about hydraulic surge brakes is that they make it really hard to back a trailer up a hill so make sure that your parking space for your boat doesn't require this. Obviously, going down a boat ramp is just fine.
2. I don't know about bringing it to your auto mechanic but many trailer places can handle this type of install. I actually used to tow a trailer a lot that was built by the local trailer place.
3. You can absolutely do this yourself provided that your axle has the mounting brackets. If not, you need to weld some on or swap axles. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to bring it to a local welder. Give yourself plenty of time, the install is not that hard but you always seem to hit a hangup such as a frozen bolt.
Re: Trailer Brakes
"MOST" boat trailers use surge, as they can go in the water, Electric generally speaking can not. Altho there are a few that can. Like the above poster, I prefer electric also. But properly setup, surge does work well. BUT, surge depends upon a strong braking TV to slow initially, then the trailer pushes a shock absorber for lack of better term, which then makes the brakes work. This is a hydraulic system vs electric.
Best might be an electric over hydraulic disk. I have not used one of these, but I have seen reviews of folks that like them
I have installed electric brakes on a trailer, replaced shoes etc, not a hard job. You need a square backing plate on the axle with 4 bolt holes in the corners. if you have this, you can install brakes. Parts can be found at most trailer supply places, possibly even a NAPA or equal. Figure the better part of a day to do this. I also have found, while legal to tow 3000 lbs in my state unbraked, it was a lot nicer being braked, and the brakes on my trucks lasted longer.
Re: Trailer Brakes
I would go with electric brakes , much easier to install , usually just changing/adding backing plates & drums and run some wires and a back up battery . Most trucks are already wired to accept a brake controller .
Surge brakes have that funny feel, that I never cared for, like getting hit in the rear when you are stopping. also there was some confusion about how legal surge brakes were this site should clear that up.
Centreville Trailers Surge Brakes New Federal Ruling
Trailer Brakes
I just bought a 1987 O'Day 222. I'd like to install brakes on the trailer. I underestand I need a receiving bracket on the axel and I don't know now if the axel has that. In N.Y. the DOE regulations state that trailers over 3000# need brakes. The O'day 222 with trailer is about 3000#. I wonder why the trailers don't come from the manufacturer with brakes. I have three questions:
1. Should I go with electric or hydraulic surge brakes?
2. Could I bring the trailer to my normal auto-mechanic or is there a special type of company that does these things..like a trailer sales place?
3. I think I could do the installation myself. Has anyone ever tried to install brakes on trailer that has never had them.
Thanks for your thoughts!

GunZ - Yeah, it's got it's downs. It's got it's ups too. The graphics are fine IMO. Any more realistic and I would've quit. The purpose of the game is a FANTASY action world, not people dying in one shot.
See, here's the thing. In Exteel, you're locked. Your movements aren't fluid and you're limited from one movement type -> another. Say you want to dash and shoot at the same time then take out your sword while landing? You can dash and shoot, but by the time you pull out that sword, you're going to be dead meat. Why? Animation. You need to pull out that sword -> initiate the attack, etc.
GunZ takes far more skill in everything. People are flying left and right in the air, below, shots flying, etc. And guess what? If you have half a brain, you won't die in 10 seconds. Armor does give an advantage, but a slash or two extra and you'll get them on the same level as you. In GunZ, you can dash, shoot, and slash in about 1.3 seconds. The gameplay is fluid and you can cancel out animations. You're not locked into a move, you can cancel.
Also, the fun thing about GunZ is the melee. There are melee moves such as Ground Slash, Aerial Massive, Phoenix, etc. These are just names for certain combinations of moves. Here's an example.
Also, check this out. You can't do this in Exteel.
Funny thing is, both of those moves have counters. Every move in GunZ has a counter, and each counter has a weakness. Each weakness has a flaw, and each flaw has a counter. Get me? You can have a sword duel going on for 1 minute and both players will be full HP because they can keep countering each other.
Also, here's GunZ's gameplay
I don't see you aiming that fast and at such lengths on Exteel. Every weapon on GunZ has a weakness and advantage, and the moves you use must compliment that move. You don't "buy" or "upgrade" moves. If you have the skills, you can do all the GunZ moves when you first start playing.
Here are some links to learn more about GunZ:
http://www.gunzrevolution.com/replays (for viewing inside GunZ)
http://www.gunzrevolution.com/gallery (Screenshots)
http://www.gunzrevolution.com/forums (Forums for Guides)
Read all that, and then tell me, is getting stuck in animations and not having fluid movement what you want, or a game where you can make your own moves and create moves never seen before?

The Macapagal administration can learn from Fidel Ramos. He took it on the chin. Never personally. He did not attack the press. He presented and explained his version of the bad news about him. He understood and respected the functions of the press. That's why, unlike Estrada, he never accused the press of trying to destabilize his administration.
We extend a hand of friendship to the new administration. The lesson is: The Inquirer is only hazardous to those people in government who betray the public trust…
The "destabilization" comment is funny. Pati na rin yung statement ng Inquirer sa huli.

In other words, an engine made for a larger bore and stroke made smaller in displacement would fare worse than an engine made for smaller displacement and bored out. If the engine is optimized for smaller displacement and made larger than it wouldn't fare as well as an engine made for the larger displacement. But if an engine was optimized for larger displacement and made smaller it would perform like utter crap.
But this is never the case. And we end up increasing displacement with just bore and stroke, then trying to maximize air flow for that particular engine displacement with the port shapes and volumes available.
Engine power can be moved up and down the rpm without adjusting displacement at all too. That's done with cam lift vs duration and overlap plus timing and port flow length, shape, and cross sectional area. A LT1 Camaro can have a 1500-5800 rpm power band then go to a 2500-6500 power band with nothing more than a cam swap and tune. But, if the engine were designed to be a high revver the builder can optimize the rest of the intake and exhaust track to match the cam.
This is without even considering the area vs volume advantage that grow exponentially as displacement grows. The bigger the displacement the smaller the frictional surface area to volume relation gets.

Here Are A Few Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Wrinkles
Honey is one of the best home made wrinkle removers available. All you have to do is thinly spread the honey onto your face and leave it there for about 25-30 minutes. Once the time elapses, wash away the honey with warm water and then gently rub an ice cube all over your face -- more specifically, rub the ice cube on the places where the honey was applied. An important thing to remember before starting this home wrinkle remedy is to wash your face with warm, borderline hot, water. This allows the pores in your skin to open up, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the honey.
Bananas can be used to make a very effective, natural anti-wrinkle cream. Simply mash up a banana or two until the banana(s) becomes cream like -- this shouldn't take long. Once it is in a creamy form, apply it liberally to your entire face. Let it sit for around 30 minutes and then rinse it away with warm water. Pat dry your skin; do not rub dry it.
Pineapple is another great homemade wrinkle remover. Begin by cutting out the core of the pineapple. Once removed, take the core and gently rub it on your face, making sure you get all the problem areas; around the mouth, under & around the eyes, etc. Leave the thin layer of pineapple juice on your face for about 20 minutes, then you can wash it off with warm or cold water.
As you can see, you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing homemade wrinkle removers. Does that mean you should forsake all other anti wrinkle cream products? Of course not, as that would be foolish. In actuality, it simply means you don't have to rely wholeheartedly on department store wrinkle cream any longer.

Longitudinal Integrated Curriculum at Asheville
The Application Year academic calendar at Asheville is comprised of two types of clinical experiences –inpatient and longitudinal outpatient. The inpatient experience is 17 weeks and includes surgery, inpatient medicine, pediatrics, neurology, OB, and ED.
Students participate in the longitudinal portion for the remainder of the year. Each student is assigned to a community practice for the core specialties (internal medicine, OB, pediatrics, family medicine, neurology, and psychiatry), where they see a panel of their "own" continuity patients or work-ins. Students work one-on-one with their attending physician, who reviews each case and care plan with them. If their patients are admitted or referred to another provider, the student will see their patients in the hospital or accompany them to that visit as well. See sample week below.
Weekly student schedule
- Unique features of the program also include:
- Majority of teaching done by faculty
- Responsive, supportive, individualized attention from the administrative team
- A purposeful ethics and humanism curriculum interwoven with clinical practice with the goal of producing physicians who are empathetic and caring
- Bimonthly Art of Medicine meetings where faculty and students discuss other aspects of being an effective physician, dealing with ethical issues, and finding personal balance to avoid burnout
- Monthly Master Clinician sessions where students lead interesting case presentations followed by discussions from consulting specialists on the case
- Participation in ABCCM free clinic for medically underserved, working with faculty and/or residents and in collaboration with pharmacy students, nursing students, and medical ethicist
- Added experience in emergency medicine, cardiology, and radiology
Other Curriculum Components:
Orientation: Asheville students complete orientation in Asheville. This includes an orientation to Mission Hospital and its ancillary services, electronic health records, surgery skills lab, and orientation to surgical scrub/OR procedures. Other student services include access to MAHEC library, UNC-A student health and gym services, and getting to know the community itself.
Didactics: Students meet weekly as a group for a variety of didactic sessions consisting of case studies, problem-based learning sessions, core lectures, direct observation with patients, and skills labs.
Testing and evaluations: All students take similar standardized testing as their cohorts in Chapel Hill, including OSCE exams and NBME shelf examinations. These will be administered at or near the end of the third year. The surgery shelf exam is administered at the end of the inpatient weeks. Students are evaluated regularly by their faculty.
Individualization Year Curriculum: The fourth year curriculum reverts to block months. Asheville campus students have the same fourth year requirements as Chapel Hill students, except for a one month rural rotation. All required courses and many electives are available in both Asheville and rural settings. A one month rotation in global health through Shoulder to Shoulder is available to all students. Students are able to do other away rotations if desired.
Student Services: Students will need to find housing in the community but there is ample affordable housing. We have a reciprocal agreement with UNCA for student health services and access to the gym and library.
- High shelf and step 2 scores
- Empathy and patient centeredness sustained
- Amazing breadth of clinical experiences
- Acceptances to top residency programs in the country
- High student satisfaction

Today, we shall be discovering the rare Sea Spurge which goes by the Maltese name of Tengħud tar-Ramel and the Scientific name: euphorbia paralias. This shrubby plant which is native of the Mediterranean region, including Malta, is found exclusively on coastal sand dunes.
The Sea Spurge is a permanent (perennial) plant which may reach a height of around 70cm. Its erect stems, which are branched at their base, are covered with over-lapping closely set leaves. Such foliage is lance-shaped, leather-like, with a bluish to greyish-green colour. In summer the flowers are borne in an inflorescence, which somewhat resembles the spokes of an umbrella having 3 to 6 rays. The bracts, a modified leaf subtending the flowers, are green and bear kidney-shaped glands. Following fertilisation, a three-lobed fruit is produced which contains pale grey, smooth seeds.
The Sea Spurge, like all dune vegetation, is adapted to the harsh conditions of this habitat, which include high temperatures, dryness and the occasional inundation by seawater. Such adaptations, include an extensive root system which provides anchorage in sand (which is very mobile) and having rather fleshy leaves to limit water-loss.
The Sea Spurge is considered to be a species of national interest and is consequently protected by national legislation; one should not collect, uproot or cut this plant without prior permission from the Competent Authorities.
MEPA, through the designation of Special Areas of Conservation, is also helping to protect the Sea Spurge by safeguarding its habitat- the sand dunes, which are extremely restricted on our Islands.

It's conference-call time.
On one end of the line, waiting for the telephone festivities to start, are the two frontmen for the multiplatinum, rap-rock, nu-metal, what-have-you band Linkin Park: singer Chester Bennington and rapper-emcee Mike Shinoda.
On the other are a pack of ravenous journalists, selfish predators that we are, each hoping to get in at least one question during the mass interview's allotted 30 minutes.
Not exactly the ideal setting for a talk - and Linkin Park has a ton to chat about (or not) of late, from a well-publicized squabble and potential lawsuit with its record label, Warner Bros., to a collaboration with Rick Rubin, the star producer who has overseen records for Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty, Dixie Chicks, Neil Diamond and a dozen or so other stylistically diverse notables.
The setting has all the potential of a scrappy bar fight, except that nobody can see one another. When the session turns out to be orderly, the Linkin Park men seem almost disappointed.
"I thought it was going to be a free-for-all, with everybody talking at the same time," Bennington says.
"That's what I was hoping," Shinoda says.
The first half of the conference call proceeds with few hurdles and even fewer revelations. Bennington and Shinoda are asked about everything except their music: How do you select your opening acts? What do you think of the new digital/downloading musical age? Are you giving tickets away for military personnel and their families again?
Finally, a reporter from Minneapolis brings up the dreaded words: Warner Bros. The air over the telephone lines - if there is such a thing - tightens. The promotional stance that the vocalists had been taking retreats, and the overall mood tenses a bit.
"We voiced our concerns back then," Bennington says in a polite but affirmative tone. "I don't want to get back into it at all."
Get back into what? Well, here's the deal. Since 2000, Linkin Park has sold roughly 50 million records worldwide. The band's first two studio albums, "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora," were loud, angst-filled affairs that mixed arena-rock bravado, metal and rap with an accessibility that, at times, was downright poppish. They accounted for most of the big numbers. Then, when cost-cutting measures were implemented at Warner Bros. - specifically the Warner Music Group - Linkin Park sought release from its contract. Litigation seemed all but inevitable.
"Linkin Park has become increasingly concerned that WMG's diminished resources will leave it unable to compete in today's global music marketplace, resulting in a failure to live up to WMG's fiduciary responsibility to market and promote Linkin Park," the band said in a statement in May 2005.
But by year's end, peace was declared. No real terms of the treaty were disclosed. But Linkin Park remained with Warner, and work on a third studio album was to commence.
Luckily, Bennington was in the mood to discuss that when my telephone time with him rolled around.
"I think where we were at was we were really hungry to make a record," he says. "As much as we talk about how much time we like to be with our families and take off, it's important for us to have a balance. The reality is that if we take even a week longer than we expected, it becomes uncomfortable.
"As much as a vacation sounds good or taking time to work through some issues, like we had with Warner Bros., it was also difficult for us. Once we got ready to make a record, we were very ready to make a record."
The questions Linkin Park then faced were these: What musical direction should the new record take, and what producer should be enlisted to guide it? Once Rubin was brought on board, an answer to the first question became even more vital.
"Rick asked us, 'What kind of record do you want to make?' Shinoda says. "All six of us were like, 'Pretty much something totally different.' He was like, 'Good, because that was what I was thinking.'"
So the members of Linkin Park - Bennington, Shinoda, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist David "Phoenix" Farrell, drummer Rob Bourdon and turntablist Joe Hahn - wrote. And wrote. And wrote. When they had what Bennington terms "100 bazillion songs," Rubin went to work. What resulted was a more streamlined, less rap-savvy album called "Minutes to Midnight."
The change of musical tactics was pronounced. Songs like "Valentine's Day" and "Leave Out All the Rest" came off as radio-ready ballads, while crunchier rockers "No More Sorrow" and especially "Bleed It Out," which were more in keeping with "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora," were wrapped in plentiful melodic hooks. Shoot, you could almost dance to them.
David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine, in a four-star review of "Minutes to Midnight," summed up the album and the pop age surrounding it in two sentences: "Rap rock is dead. Linkin Park are not because they were always more than the meager sum of that combination."
Says Bennington: "We knew in our hearts that we wanted to make a record that was going to be a turning point for us, a kind of revamping (of) the band creatively and intellectually.
"We went in and did it. We took our time and we exhausted every avenue. We blazed new paths and tried new things. It was great. It was a great experience. And I think 'Minutes to Midnight' speaks for itself because of that."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Celtics and Bulls are playing in what is easily the best series so for in the NBA Playoffs. Two players, Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose, are enjoying their coming-out parties on the national stage, and the Bulls are emerging as a future contender in the East. After Chicago's thrilling 121-118 double-overtime victory in Game 4, the first round series is all tied up at two games apiece.
Rajon Rondo finished with his second triple double of the series, finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in 55 minutes on the court. His counterpart, Derrick Rose, nearly had a triple-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. Late in the game, however, Ben Gordon again took over.
Just like in Game 2, when he scored 42 points in a one-on-one duel with Ray Allen, Ben Gordon shined again in Game 4. After Ray Allen tied the game with a three to send it into overtime, Ben Gordon hit a three of his own to force the second overtime. In all, he finished 22 points on 10-22 shooting.
Paul Pierce led all scorers with 29 points and seven rebounds, but he shot just 9-24 from the floor due to a slow start. Ray Allen added 28 points on 8-17 shooting (5-11 from three) as he continues his strong series.
It seems that the Celtics just ran out of gas in the second overtime, and who could blame them. They were without Kendrick Perkins and Brian Scalabrine, who both fouled out, and were forced to play their starters for extended minutes. It also doens't help that they're without Kevin Garnett and Leon Powe, and that Mikki Moore has been so ineffective.
When the Bulls have played out of their mind, they've barely beat the Celtics twice (Game 1 and Game 4), and barely lost Game 2. I don't think they can blow the Celtics out, but as we've seen, they can get blown out. The Bulls need to win Game 5 in Boston to win the series (in my mind), because there's no way they'll beat the Celtics in a potential Game 7 in Boston.
Game 5 is Tuesday night in Boston at 7 p.m.
Tags: Ben Gordon, Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose, Glen Big Baby Davis, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen
So much can be said about this game, so I'll keep it to two comments:
As great as Rondo was, he made two horrible decisions, one at the end of each overtime. He should've drove the lane in the first OT and got the ball to Pierce a heck of a lot earlier at the end of the 2nd OT.
As bad as Big Baby was shooting the ball, you just can't get too mad when the Bulls get some layups at the end of the game when he's play center at 6'8″. That just goes to the lack of depth.
Well, it all looked mighty familiar. Pierce unable to sink 2 free throws at crunch time. The bench totally useless. Another overtime loss.
Plus, a complete bonehead play allowing Gordon to take that 3 pointer when all the Celts had to do was foul on the inbound pass to prevent a 2nd overtime. Just basic stuff here, not rocket science. So much for veteran smarts.
I think the world of Paul Pierce, but when will somebody tell him to stop driving from outside the 3 point line? He's not a good ball handler to begin with, and should be posted up or getting the ball inside the foul line rather than challenging the entire Chicago team as some sort of dribbling expert. Strip, strip, fumble, strip. I cringe every time he tries that stuff.
The Celts gave that one away. Looks like another 7 game opening round to me.

Student Apartments Residence Life Staff
Resident Director
Years worked at Covenant
Going on my second year!
Gilbert, Arizona
College(s) attended and degrees earned
Bible/ Theology & Women's Ministry, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL
Christian Formation and Ministry & Student Development, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL
Best residence life memory from my college days
ResLife at Moody was awesome! I was in a small group of 10 female RAs who pretty much served as my family. We were utterly ridiculous and had a blast chatting late at night, going on retreats, playing (friendly) pranks on our residents, praying together, and encouraging each other in a pursuit of holiness. Some of my favorite memories happened when we would do a yearly tradition of going on a group GYROFAD (get your roommate or friend a date) and would dress up in ridiculous outfits and go bowling or to karaoke, or roam the streets of Chicago.
Favorite way to spend a SaturdaySleep in, meet up with friends for breakfast, thrift, explore a new place, coffee shop hop, and end it with going out to dinner and a movie.
Plans for the upcoming year
I plan to seek the Lord to the best of my ability and provide a hospitable space in Andreas where students can rest, have fun, grow in their faith, and encounter biblical community.
Favorite recreational activities
I love just hanging out with friends, reading and discussing theology, singing and playing music, doing art projects, baking, going to a classic car show, or simply watching a good movie.
What residents can expect
They can expect to be welcomed into a community that seeks to glorify God and love others well. They can expect to experience hospitality and a genuine desire to grow as the body of Christ through mentoring and discipleship, community events, and authentic relationships.
Best thing about my job
I love academia and getting to walk alongside students as they go through this transformational experience called college. I enjoy getting to be a part of students' lives as they grow more deeply in their relationship with God and image him more profoundly. I love being a learner among learners, attending and discussing lectures, going to college events and getting to encourage, support, and challenge students as they learn how to live out their faith more fully. I relish getting to practice hospitality and open my space for students to relax, eat good food, grow in community, and experience the gospel enacted.
Resident Assistant
St. Louis, MO
Favorite Class
That's hard. It's probably a tie between American Lit 1865-1965, and Theory of Community Development.
What residents can expect
Even while living away from halls and campus life, there will be space for hanging out and living life together. This year, the apartments can create a place where four people in a small apartment can practice loving each other in the big challenges and the small facets of life.
What I'm all about
Learning how to follow God and honor him, through adventures, music, art, work, and relationships.

The collapse of the Fatah movement in Gaza is widely being blamed on the ineffectiveness of the Abbas government. Lost in reporting the disaster which has resulted in establishing a terrorist government on Israel's border is the real story of one Israeli blunder after one American blunder in the region. Israel and the United States must accept partial responsibility for the Hamas victory in Gaza.
In February, the Saudi government negotiated a compromise between Hamas and Fath under which Hamas surrendered control over posts in the Interior, Finance, and Foreign Affairs departments. It was assumed giving up these positions would enable Abbas to convince Israel to end the economic blockade which has cut off funds to his government. All for nought. Israel, at the urging of the Bush administration, refused to end the economic blockade. The result was lack of funds for Abbas to deal with economic chaos or to obtain arms and ammunition for his security forces. Each time there is a glimmer of opening by an Arab leader, Israel shuts the door to wild cheers from the American government. We now have the results of this inept, confused, and aimless Israel-American leadership — Hamas controls trhe Gaza Strip.
Writing in the Lebanon Daily Star, Daoud Kuttab argues there can be no peace in the region until Israel and the United States support efforts of moderates to succeed. Support must include economic and militarya ssistance since speeches don't provide a weapon for use by Fatah security forces. It's time to cease posturing and begin acting.

Well, I still have my P99 A/S and P99c.
I just prefer them (the Walthers) to the SW99. The P99 looks nicer, and is my preference. Also, whenever I have duplicate weapons, I always end up getting rid of one of them. I've done that with Glocks, Berettas and other guns over the years.
1 always just ends up sitting on the shelf - and since I don't have unlimited gun funds, I usually sell 1 and use the cash to buy something else.
The SW99 was my night stand gun for a whil, but nowthat I have my Five Seven, it's just sitting on the shelf. And, I don't shoot it anymore. Truth be told, if it had not been hard chromed, I probably would have already sold it.
I held it this long since the SW99 is no longer made, and because of the hard chrome. But last week, I made a decision to sell it. And, I don't regret it.
Now, I'm keeping my P99s and all my other guns I currently have. But, I bought the SW99 in 2005 because I couldn't find a 9mm A/S P99, and I settled on the SW99. Even after getting the SW99, however, I STILL wanted the Walther. And, that's become my fav handgun

A scientific breakthrough in the understanding of how Alzheimer's disease may spread across the brain of elderly patients might lead to novel ways of treating senile dementia, scientists have announced.
A study has discovered that a key brain protein linked with Alzheimer's disease has infectious properties that allow defects in the protein to be transmitted through the brain and so leads to debilitating neuro-degeneration.
It is the first time that scientists have detected infectious properties in the so-called tau protein which causes aggregates of particles known as "neurofibrillary tangles" to build up inside the brain cells of Alzheimer's patients. The tangles lead to the disease's symptoms.
But the researchers emphasised that the discovery does not mean that the disease itself is infectious, only that the tau protein seen in Alzheimer's disease is able to convert otherwise healthy brain proteins into the defective form associated with the disease.
Alzheimer's disease is one of the fastest growing and most costly medical conditions. About 700,000 people in the UK have some form of dementia and this will grow to about 940,000 by 2015, rising to more than 1.7 million by 2051 as a result of the demographic time bomb of an ageing population.
Medical researchers believe that the latest findings – which have so far been shown in laboratory mice rather than human patients – could open up new ways of treating Alzheimer's disease by developing drugs that block the tau's infectious properties.
The results of the study also show that Alzheimer's disease has underlying similarities to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a brain disease that is believed to be caused by other kinds of infectious proteins called "prions" which can, under certain circumstances, be transmitted from one person to another.
Scientists have known for many years that the brain cells of Alzheimer's patients experience a build up of tau protein in the form of complicated tangles and that these tangles spread in a characteristic fashion through the brain.
The latest study, published in the journal Nature Cell Biology, offers the first proper explanation for how these tangles spread and suggests a possible target for drug companies hoping to develop ways of slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
"This opens new avenues in dementia research that will aim to understand how abnormal tau can spread. We can also investigate how diseases caused by tau aggregates and prions are similar," said Michel Goedert of the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.
"We have looked at whether tau tangles can spread in mice. The injection of brain extract from tangle-bearing mice into animals without tangles caused their tau to tangle and spread from the sites of injection to neighbouring brain regions," said Dr Goedert, who took part in the study.
The scientists used a strain of genetically modified mouse with a gene for the human form of the defective tau protein. When the tau of this mouse was injected into the brain of ordinary laboratory mice, it caused a build-up of the same sort of tangles seen in Alzheimer's patients.
"This research in mice does not show that tau pathology is contagious or that it can spread easily from mouse to mouse. What it has revealed is how tau tangles spread within brain tissues of individual mice," Dr Goedert said.
"It suggests that tangles of proteins that build up in the brain to cause symptoms could have some contagious properties, within brain tissue but not between mice that haven't been injected with tissue from another mouse and certainly not between people," he said.
There is no epidemiological evidence that brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's can spread from one person to another and the latest study does not suggest that such disorders are caused by an infection, said David Allsop, professor of neuroscience at Lancaster University.
"This is interesting because it could explain how tangles spread from one region of the brain to another during the course of Alzheimer's disease and some other 'tangle' diseases," Professor Allsop said.
Susanne Sorensen, the head of research at the Alzheimer's Society, said that the study could result in a greater understanding of how tau tangles form and spread through the brain.
"There is still so much we do not understand about the changes in tau that lead to tangle formation in humans and, eventually, widespread cell death," Dr Sorensen said. "Each new piece of knowledge helps to build a better picture and takes us closer to the point where we can stop loss of brain tissue and dementia for good."
Rebecca Wood, the chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: "This greater understanding of how tangles spread in Alzheimer's may lead to new ways of stopping them and defeating the disease."

Notes Packet | Event Preview
Fri-Sat., March 28-29 -- at Big Ten Championships (Lincoln, Neb.), 6 p.m./4 p.m. CDT
TV: Big Ten Network | Live Results (FRI) | Live Results (SAT) | Twitter Updates
The No. 4-ranked University of Michigan men's gymnastics team -- the defending NCAA and Big Ten champion -- begins postseason competition Friday (March 28) at the Big Ten Championships hosted by the University of Nebraska at the Bob DeVaney Center in Lincoln, Neb. Team and all-around finals are Friday at 6 p.m. CDT, while individual finals will begin at 4 p.m. CDT Saturday.
Three individuals in Sam Mikulak (all-around, high bar), Stacey Ervin (floor) and Syque Caesar (parallel bars) look to defend their 2013 individual titles, while U-M looks to secure its 17th Big Ten title in program history and first back-to-back titles since the 1999-2000 season.
Michigan will begin its quest for the title defense on vault in the first rotation. U-M has never competed in Lincoln.
The meet will be shown live via the Big Ten Network both days, with Lisa Byington and John Roethlisberger providing play-by-play and color commentary.
The Title Defense
Sam Mikulak is entering the competition with two Big Ten all-around championships to his name already, having won in 2011 and 2013. He is seeking to become the first gymnast since Blaine Wilson (1995-97) to win three Big Ten all-around titles in his career. Additionally, he is looking to secure his third Big Ten high bar title, and he is the two-time defending champion on the event with wins the last two seasons. A title on the bar will make him the first Big Ten gymnast since Michigan legend Bob Darden to win three straight high bar titles in 1974-76.
Mikulak also owns two Big Ten Gymnast of the Year honors (2011, 2013) and would join elite company with another honor, as Blaine Wilson (1995-97) and John Roethlisberger (1990-93) are the only Big Ten gymnasts who have captured three or more of the awards since the honor's inception in 1988.
U-M is also looking to continue its parallel bar dominance, as a Wolverine has won titles on the apparatus in the last three seasons with Syque Caesar winning the event in 2011 and 2013, while Mikulak won in 2012. Caesar has a chance to become the first Big Ten gymnast since another Michigan legend Arno Lascari won three p-bar titles from 1962-64. Additionally, he would be the first back-to-back event winner for Michigan since Justin Toman (1998-99). Michigan has won eight of the last 16 parallel bar titles in that span.
As a team, Michigan sits third in all-time individual Big Ten titles (100) behind Illinois (149) and Minnesota (101).
With the team's most-recent win over UIC, U-M improves to 36-0 since its last defeat on March 9, 2013, against Oklahoma
2013 Big Ten Championship Review
At the 2013 Big Ten Championships, U-M captured its 16th conference title in program history, including four individual crowns with a team score of 438.900.
Mikulak garnered championships in the all-around competition and on high bar. For his efforts, he was honored as Big Ten Gymnast of the Year for the second time in his career, as he earned the distinction as a freshman in 2011. He was also named to the All-Big Ten first team for the third time in his career. The meet also marked the second time in his career and back-to-back seasons where he has won multiple Big Ten titles in one meet. Mikulak scored a 15.7 to give U-M three high bar titles in a row to successfully defend his 2012 Big Ten Title on the event. Current program assistant Ian Makowske (2008-11) captured the crown in 2011.
Head coach Kurt Golder won Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time in his career, as he last won the award in the 1999 and 2000 seasons. The 1999 season marked an NCAA championship, while the 2000 season was the last time U-M won a Big Ten title outright (shared with Illinois in 2009).
Caesar won his second parallel bar title of his career, as he previously won the title in 2011. U-M has won three titles in a row on the event, as Mikulak won the title in 2012 in Caesar's absence as he missed that year's competition due to injury.
Ervin won the floor exercise for the Wolverines, scoring a 15.80 to become the 11th Wolverine to capture a Big Ten title on the exercise and the first since Chris Cameron in 2010.
U-M's three event winners, Mikulak, Caesar, and Ervin, were all named to the to the All-Big Ten first team, along with Adrian de los Angeles, who earned a spot on the team after taking second in the all-around competition.
The title is the first non-shared Big Ten title for U-M since 2000 and the fourth for head coach Kurt Golder (1999, 2000, 2009).
With the all-around win for Mikulak, a Wolverine has won the competition four of the last five years (Thomas Kelley 2009, Chris Cameron 2010, Mikulak 2011).
Mikulak was also the second Wolverine to win a pair of all-around titles in his career, as Rick McCurdy won three (1969-71). A Wolverine has also earned runner-up in the all-around in each of the past two years -- Adrian de los Angeles in 2013, Mikulak in 2012.

By rev matching do you mean downshifting to say 3rd from 4th and having to rev the engine to just enough RPM to shift properly without jerking the car?
If so, I do this and have done this since the day I started driving a manual (about 5 years). I had thought this was the proper way to down shift, no?

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to Just Answer!It is possible to get OIC on trust fund liability, but that is VERY low possibility that the IRS will approve an OIC for an employer that is still in business and has ongoing payroll.In additional - if you owe taxes, penalty and interest - any payment is applied to the interest, then to penalties - and whatever left will be applied to actual tax liability. So you may not pay tax liability without paying penalties and interest.
Nevertheless - that is possible and an offer in compromise can be done on ANY tax liability, including payroll taxes. There are 3 types of OIC - (1)doubt of collectibility; (2)doubt of liability; and (3)effective tax administration. Most OIC are filed because of the doubt as to collectibility.You may want to review this IRS document Control No: SBSE-05-0108-011
The best path forward might be to ask the IRS to abate penalties, however it would be very unlikely that interest charges are abated. File a form 843 -http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f843.pdf to request the "accuracy related penalty" be abate based on reasonable cause. If you provide the reason like "I forgot" - I do not think it will be considered as reasonable - so be careful when prepare an abatement request. Because your father had health issues - he has a good chance to provide a reasonable cause.Here are instructions - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i843.pdfIf the IRS accepts your reasons as reasonable - and agrees to abate penalties - at least part of the issue would be resolved.

I wonder how many thought the UConn rematch was going to bury UC in the conference and in the NCAA tournament talk. After losing to the 'Cats, and Jim Calhoun returning I'm sure many thought emotions alone would carry the Huskies to a easy win; but as I've continued to say, this is a series of one game season and UC just won another one that keeps their (NCAA) post season hopes alive. With U of L beating Syracuse it further illustrates that the Big Beast has talent from top to bottom and it bodes well for RPI rankings and last minute arguments about how many Big East teams should get in. You have to keep UC in the conversation and if they can win at South Florida, they will definitely have a little momentum on their side.
The grind (a term for working without stopping) really intensifies now that the regular season is drawing to a close and the league tournament draws near. As i've said lets look at the body of work at the end not in the middle or after one bad loss. So keep tabs on the conference, the team and yes for those who want to micro manage, Mick too. But don't make a decision until its all over. That may be later than you think, and more in line with what you were wishing at the start of the season. Even Roy Williams and his North Carolina Tar Heels are struggling and you thought UC had expectations?
It is no doubt a tough time being a UC basketball fan these days but with wins like the most recent against UConn it gives you a wing and a prayer that this season can offer a post script akin to selection Sunday when UC sits around together to find out where they play...and fans uttered the tattered tale: I knew they were going to make it...
That's the way I see it...Sitting In The Box Seat

San Jose, Calif. • There were fewer points and fewer sacks, but for the fifth straight year, Utah State was victorious against San Jose State.
And like the year before, it wasn't even close.
The Aggies (3-2, 2-0) easily dispatched the Spartans (1-3, 0-1), scoring early while smothering them with defense. Two third-quarter touchdown drives all but knocked out San Jose State, earning Utah State a 40-12 victory at Spartan Stadium on Friday night to remain unbeaten in Mountain West play.
"We got ahead of them enough to be able to dictate what we wanted to do and play the game we wanted to," coach Matt Wells said. "For that, I'm happy."
Quarterback David Fales struggled against Utah State's defense and without two of his top receivers. The senior threw a pair of picks, the Aggies' first interceptions of the year, and Utah State ended up with four turnovers while giving away none.
The Aggies pounced on all their opportunities including a third-quarter fumble at the goal line that shifted the momentum out of the half and locked the Spartans out of touchdowns on their first three trips to the red zone. By the time San Jose State was able to lift the haze from its offense and get a touchdown in the third quarter, Utah State had a three-score lead.
"I feel like we did our job," corner Nevin Lawson said. "Entering this week, as a secondary I feel like we've been getting better with our communication. I feel like tonight, we showed that with our performance."
The passing matchup had been hyped before the game, but Chuckie Keeton was the one who shined on ESPN Friday night primetime. The junior had 312 yards of total offense with four touchdowns. His passing touchdown to Brandon Swindall and an option scoring run to the end zone virtually silenced any Spartan threat.
Utah State's greatest edge was the ground game, where it held a 253-101 advantage. Senior back Joey DeMartino had a career-high 120 yards, taking over as the primary back as Joe Hill pulled up short with an injury in the second half. The fourth quarter was unsuspenseful, as Utah State went on a clock-chewing, 17-play, 88-yard drive and tacked on a field goal as added insurance.
"We wanted to come in and establish the run," Wells said. "I'm proud of [DeMartino] and his effort and the O-line. That drive there at the end just sealed it for us."
Utah State rang up points early in the first quarter, notching a pair of touchdown drives. The Aggies relied heavily on the run to move down the field, but Keeton wrapped up a pair of scoring drives with touchdown passes to his tight ends: one to D.J. Tialavea to start the game, and another to Keegan Andersen to take a two-score lead.
The Aggies couldn't punch it in again in the first half, settling for a trio of field goals by Nick Diaz to take a 23-6 lead. Wells called a pair of timeouts before San Jose State kicker Austin Lopez could try a 43-yard attempt at the end of the half, and he ended up missing right the first miss of his career.
Diaz was 4 for 4 on his field goal attempts, the first Aggie to kick as many field goals since 1999. Utah State scored on all seven trips to the red zone, but had hoped for a few more touchdowns.
"Any time we're in the red zone, we don't want to settle for anything less than a touchdown," Keeton said. "Personally, I like seeing [Diaz] kick extra points instead of field goals."
Utah State ended seeing a lot of yellow nine penalties for 95 yards but still not as much as the Spartans. The home team racked up 11 flags for 108 yards in the game.
Utah State suffered a costly blow to the offensive line in the game, as senior guard Kyle Whimpey went down in the second quarter with an apparent leg injury and had to be helped off the field.
"Whenever he went down, it was like a fallen comrade," Keeton said. "Personally, I thought about him every play."
It was not the only injury on Friday night. Star Spartan safety Bene Benwikere appeared to lose consciousness in a hit with Tialavea midway through the third quarter. Spartan Stadium was breathless for 10 minutes as paramedics worked on him and eventually carted him off the field. San Jose State also lost receiver Jabari Carr mid-game to a shoulder injury.
Twitter: @kylegoon
O Chuckie Keeton has 4 total TDs, 312 yards of offense.
• USU intercepts David Fales twice, finishes with three picks.
• Six Aggies have multiple receptions in the win.

Ruling: Fla. Unemployment Insurance Process Unfair
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Workers' rights advocates in Florida are applauding an initial determination by the U.S. Department of Labor that says Florida's online application requirement for people applying for unemployment insurance violates federal civil rights laws.
Attorneys representing the Miami Workers Center, which filed the November 2011 complaint, said Thursday the finding was a victory for workers dealing with what they say were unfair barriers to applying for benefits.
In August 2011, the state eliminated phone and paper applications. It also required anyone seeking benefits to apply online and take a 45-question skills' assessment.
In its 56-page brief the Department of Labor's Civil Rights Center said that the skills' assessment requirement in particular violates federal nondiscrimination law.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity says it's committed to working to remedy any violations.

West Covina, CA, US
see all...Viewing 3 out of 4 projects
As a student of architecture with a thirst for knowledge and a desire for excellence, my goal in life is to enjoy every enriching experience to the fullest and seek ways in which I can give to others. I lived in Indonesia as an adolescent and as a result I learned so much about myself, other cultures and art and the world around me. I also had the opportunity to move to my family's hometown in New Orleans, Louisiana to reconstruct homes and be a support to devastated families after Hurricane Katrina.
These experiences as well as adversities have helped me to become a better person. I love a challenge and thrive on over-coming problems and seeking solutions. Architecture provides a platform for self-expression, creativity and an opportunity to effect change on a large scale. It takes hard work and dedication and I am excited to be a part of such a forward moving profession.
