I always find your "few minutes to ponder" very interesing and informative. I have to say that I didnt partically like where you said, "Learning Hebrew this year, Can I learn it better of faster?" Its the first year they're learning it. Imagine where people were a year ago and how far they came. Atleast changes are being made to become a better person and more spiritual. Its a whole new language its going to take time to learn and master, at least people are trying with the baby steps... Is faster really better? Bracha v'Hatzlacha for the coming year! Keep Talking, and will keep listening.

Yashar koach, also, I thought the you were going to note that even after 40 years (or did you say30) that you can still change, that Hashem is always waiting, always there for us. Also Hashem gave us the right tools to be a better person, a growing Torah Jew. Thanks so much for your shmoozes, I get so much from them, I know that when I'm short on time, I can count on you for great info and inspiration in just a minute or two.

The Home Stretch
FRENCH PAPERS, Fri. 14/10/11, It's the last stretch before round two of the Socialist Primaries. French papers focus on how the two candidates are gearing up. Martine Aubry gives an interview to 20 Minutes accusing François Hollande of being the 'system's candidate' fabricated by a system of media and opinion polls. Meanwhile, the Dominique Strauss Kahn/ Tristane Banon scandal is also in the press after prosecutors dropped an inquiry into attempted rape due to a lack of proof.

With the Aaron Hernandez story still very much on the minds of reporters this week, coaches have been getting questions during SEC Media Days about their thoughts on the subject of player behavior. Florida's Will Muschamp said Tuesday that coaches are "100 percent responsible" for their players, but stopped short of saying they can know what their players are doing 24/7.
Similarly, Alabama's Nick Saban explained Thursday that a coach can only provide guidance to a player; what the player does with that guidance is up to them.
"We can be the moral compass for our young people but we cannot always be there to drive the ship," Saban said during his Q&A with media.
The opinions on the responsibility of coaches when it comes to player behavior vary quite a bit. Some think a coach is there solely to win games and graduate their players. Others think it's a coach's place to be a role model. As with most things, it falls somewhere in between.
Coaches can give players every opportunity to be successful in football and in life, but ultimately, the athlete has to decide for himself if that's what he wants. Will coaches take a risk on certain players or give them more chances because of talent? Of course. They still have a job to do.
But it should be considered that, for some of these players, football is more of an escape than a privilege. Sometimes, a coach has to consider if the alternative — a life without the structure of football — is actually worse for the athlete. Not every light bulb turns on at the same time for everyone.
There are obvious exceptions — murder, rape and the like — and each coach handles their personnel differently. But when it comes to player behavior, there is no easy answer.

Woodbine Oaks, presented by Budweiser, Notes for Monday, May 28, 2012
Trainer Mark Casse is holding a hot hand for Sunday's $500,000 Woodbine Oaks, presented by Budweiser.
Already a two-time winner of Canada's most important race for Canadian-bred three-year-old fillies, Casse will saddle two hopefuls for owner John Oxley, likely favourite Dixie Strike and Northern Passion, and one for Eugene Melnyk, the promising Black Bird Rock.
To be ridden by Patrick Husbands, Dixie Strike enters the Oaks off an ultra impressive three and three-quarter length victory over heavily-favoured Tu Endie Wei in the mile and one-sixteenth Selene Stakes, May 13, fashioning an explosive stretch charge on the rail.
She'd been competing south of the border in her three previous outings this year, winning the turf Florida Oaks in February at Tampa Bay Downs, but most recently finishing fifth in the Ashland Stakes at Keeneland on April 7.
"Looking at the (Selene), there wasn't a lot of speed," recalled Casse. "Patrick and I talked about it and decided we were going to lay close (to the pace). Patrick said, when he came away from there (the gate), she just didn't want to run. So he let her settle back. When he pulled the trigger, she fired.
"I think he gunned her and she went quicker than he thought she would. I don't think you can ever expect that kind of effort. You can only hope for it. But she had trained well. If you look at her Polytrack races at Woodbine, they're very good."
Champion trainer Mark Frostad and owner Robert Evans' Woodbine Oaks mission is to take the $500,000 event with Irish Mission, a filly who heads into the 1 1/8-mile race in winning form.
With a trio of Oaks crowns (Catch The Ring in 2000, Dancethruthedawn in 2001 and Eye of the Sphynx in 2004) to his name, Frostad, who was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame last year, is hoping Irish Mission, a daughter of Giant's Causeway, can maintain her momentum.
While he hasn't won the Oaks, Evans has had his fair share of success at the Toronto oval, more specifically, with Akronism and Marsh Side, the latter taking three graded stakes at Woodbine, including victories in the 2008 Canadian International and 2009 Northern Dancer Stakes, both Grade 1 events.
So, it could very well be 'Mission' possible for the filly who just broke her maiden on the Keeneland turf, a 1 3/16-mile race over 'firm' going on April 26.
"Her last two races have been really nice efforts," offered Frostad, of the pair of grass races, a second-place finish at Gulfstream on March 29 and the impressive victory in Kentucky. "She's started to figure everything out which you can see in her last two races. We always thought we had a good filly and she's really showing it now."
Jockey Alex Solis gets the call.
Canada's Champion Freestyle Moguls skier, Jennifer Heil, is the guest drawmaster for the Woodbine Oaks draw, which takes place this Thursday, May 31, at Woodbine's east-end trackside tent.
She will assist in determining the post positions and speak briefly of her participation in racing at the noon media conference.

Here is the story with this painting. It was purchased from a Harley dealership. The dealership had it hanging in the lounge of their store since 2002. They did not know that hanging a canvas print under an air conditioner vent would over time cause the paint to crack on the print. The paint is only cracking, which actually gives it a bit of a vintage look, it is not falling off the canvas. From 7 or 8 feet away you cant really see the cracking. I contacted SEGAL Fine Art who distributed the print. They said the worst that would happen with the print is the cracking. The paint will not peel off or flake off or anything like that. Segal said they can reprint the picture and have the artist resign and number it but for a fee. I bought the print and I am now selling the origional one so I can pay to have a new one reprinted. Im not trying to get rich off this just raise the money to get a new print reprinted.
The conditions: In order for me to have SEGAL reprint the picture I had to cut out the artist signature and the serial number and mail it to them with the payment for reprinting. I am offering this print so someone who cant afford a $2,550.00 painting and isnt looking for one for anything other than nice wall art can have a chance to get one. I cut the hole as small as possible so you can add a picture, patch, coin, or whatever when you have it framed.
This one was number 220 of only 250 canvas prints made. It comes with copies of the certificate of authenticity, the origional price tag, and the write up by the artist. Like I said, and confirmed with the artist, this print is still worth something even with the name cut out but because of that it is not worth the full market price of $2,550.00.
If you are interested, need more pics, or have questions please PM me. I have over 330 transactions and 100% posative feedback on ebay.
Price is $400.00 shipped in the Continental US. OBO!
Total canvas size: 34 1/4" wide 27 1/4" high
Actual painted area size: 32 3/4" wide 25 3/4" high
Size of hole where signature was: 3 1/2" wide 2 1/4 high

"I wasn't planning on being that person," said Venus Williams. "It was just the right timing, I guess."
The winner of 22 Grand Slam titles isn't referring to her place in tennis history as one of the most successful female players ever. Instead, she was talking about a less known time in her career when she stood out not only as an athlete, but as an activist.
Williams helped bring about an end to the longstanding practice of paying women less than men at Wimbledon — arguably the most prestigious of the Grand Slam tournaments.
Williams' bid for equal pay is chronicled in the ESPN film "Venus Vs.," which airs Tuesday on the sports cable network. The film kicks off a monthlong documentary series called "Nine for IX," which commemorates the 40th anniversary of Title IX.
The 1972 amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965 ensured that women's athletic programs would be funded on an equal footing with their male counterparts.
The "Venus Vs." documentary was directed by Ava DuVernay, whose film "Middle of Nowhere" premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, and landed her the best director prize from the festival.
The documentary notes that the fight for equal pay didn't begin with Williams. Billie Jean King, a former No. 1-ranked player and founder of the Women's Tennis Assn., spearheaded a successful drive to force the U.S. Open to pay women equally in 1973.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"I'm not trying to be just like her, but I do believe in things, and I'm not afraid to speak up and speak the truth," said Williams during a conference call with journalists last week. "I think we have that in common."
In 2006, the inequitable pay at Wimbledon prompted Williams to write an op-ed piece for The Times of London, which was published just before the tournament.
"We were looking for a place that we could tell our story candidly, and I think The Times story really did that," said Williams. "What really made it so grabbing was just how honest it was."
The piece led to the involvement of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and other members of Parliament. By the following year, when Williams won the tournament's women's singles title, she received the same amount in prize money as the male singles winner, Roger Federer.
"That's always the goal -- equality across the board, not only in sports, but around the world," said Williams, "You just need to stand up for something that you believe in."

In 2002, Jennifer Searl became the first person in the world to function with a transplanted organ without needing to take immunosuppressive drugs.
Kidney / Bone Marrow
In 2002, Searl became the first person in the world in whom immune-system tolerance to a non-HLA-matched kidney transplant was intentionally induced through a combined kidney and bone marrow transplant. This tolerance allows her to function with a transplanted organ without needing to take any immunosuppressive drugs. Though the procedure was considered risky, for Searl it was the only option.First TransplantSearl discovered she had kidney disease when she went for a routine camp physical at the age of 12. Her mother had requested blood tests for anemia, and the shocking results were that Searl had only 15 percent kidney function. When she was 13, she underwent a traditional transplant, receiving a kidney from her father. She took some 20 pills a day, all aimed at preventing her body from rejecting the transplanted organ, but the side effects wrought havoc with her body. She developed cataracts and osteopenia - a weakening of her bones - memory loss, facial swelling and an overgrowth of body hair. These conditions were not only threatening her health but were understandably distressing for a teenage girl. Worst of all were the viral warts that burrowed inward from the skin of her feet and legs and were cripplingly painful."My entire right foot was covered," Searl explains. "The transplant doctors and dermatologists hadn't seen anything like it. Nothing would make them go away. We tried using lasers to burn the warts off, but that left the bottoms of my feet with second- and third-degree burns, and the warts would grow back when the skin healed."Immunosuppressive DrugsSearl's doctors scaled back her medications in hopes of moderating the side effects, and the result was chronic organ rejection. As Searl's health faltered, it became clear what she needed was the seemingly impossible: a kidney transplant that would work without immunosuppressive drugs.Immunosuppressive anti-rejection medications work by interfering with the body's immune system to keep it from destroying the transplanted organ, which the body interprets as a foreign object. Because the immune system, which arises from stem cells in the bone marrow, cannot "learn" to recognize the transplanted organ as a part of itself, patients who undergo organ transplants must take medications for the rest of their lives to suppress their bodies' immune responses.As Searl experienced in her first transplant, however, long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs leaves patients susceptible to various kinds of infection, can cause a range of metabolic and physiologic changes and increases the likelihood of developing certain cancers. What's more, the conventional treatments currently available are unable to completely prevent chronic rejection.In light of these problems, enormous efforts have been made to find ways to develop transplant tolerance by "tricking" the immune system into accepting a transplanted organ without long-term use of immunosuppressive medication.Mixed ChimerismCurrently, a method developed by David Sachs, MD, director of the Mass General Transplantation Biology Research Center, and Megan Sykes, MD, chief of Bone Marrow Transplantation for the Mass General Transplantation Biology Research Center, is considered the most robust way to induce tolerance. In this process, called "mixed chimerism," nonmatched donor and recipient blood cells coexist in a patient's body after he or she receives a bone marrow transplant. Sachs and Sykes have found that the presence of the donor cells, while temporary, creates specific tolerance among newly developing recipient immune cells after the transplant, eventually yielding an immune system that will accept a kidney transplanted from the same donor without the need for the ongoing use of immunosuppressive drugs.Developing Transplant ToleranceSachs and Sykes have found that the presence of the donor cells creates specific tolerance among newly developing recipient immune cells after the transplant, eventually yielding an immune system that will accept a kidney transplanted from the same donor without the need for ongoing administration of immunosuppressive drugs. At the same time, Sykes also demonstrated the efficacy of mixed chimerism for treatment of certain cancers in animals.This approach was first tested in six patients with kidney failure resulting from severe multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow) by an Mass General team that included Sachs and Sykes along with Thomas Spitzer, MD, director of the Mass General Bone Marrow Transplant Unit; A. Benedict Cosimi, MD, chief of the Mass General Transplantation Unit, and Nina Tolkoff-Rubin, MD, medical director of the Mass General Kidney Transplantation team. In these patients, combined bone marrow and kidney transplantation from siblings with a perfect human leukocyte antigens (HLA) match was performed to treat both renal failure and multiple myeloma. The patients who developed mixed chimerism successfully acquired tolerance of their transplanted kidneys.Non-matched TransplantSearl didn't have a perfect HLA match, but a team led by Sachs, Cosimi and Mass General transplant surgeon Tatsuo Kawai, MD, had successfully induced nonmatched transplant tolerance in an animal model by mixed chimerism and were developing a new protocol for which she was a perfect candidate: HLA-mismatched simultaneous organ and bone marrow transplantation. The hypothesis was that by temporarily suppressing Searl's own immune system and introducing donor cells at the same time as the kidney transplant, when her own system returned it would develop specific tolerance to the new organ. If it worked, Searl would be the first person in the world to have a nonmatched transplanted kidney that functioned without immunosuppressive drugs.No Immunosuppressive DrugsSearl describes the process that arose from this hypothesis as "a month of suffering for a lifetime of normal" and she emphasizes that it was "absolutely worth it." In the fall of 2002, she underwent chemotherapy and local radiation to her thymus to temporarily suppress her immune system. After dialysis to make sure all the chemotherapy was out of her system, Cosimi and Kawai transplanted Searl with her mother's bone marrow and one of her kidneys in a single surgery. She then spent two weeks in a sterilized isolation room, waiting for her new immune system to take hold.Kidney Transplant Pioneer"Jennifer is a remarkably courageous young woman and truly a pioneer in the field of kidney transplantation," Cosimi says. "After having suffered a series of painful and disfiguring complications from her initial kidney transplant, she chose to be the first person in the world to undergo this tolerance-inducing transplant. Although we were able to describe to her what we had observed in our animal studies, she knew we hadn't yet done it with a patient. Nevertheless, she bravely insisted this was what she wanted to do.""It was pretty awful at first," Searl admits. "You're in pain and exhausted and very isolated. But everyone made it as comfortable as it could be. The nurses were great. I had Internet access, a VCR, a fridge and an exercise bike. I called it the Ellison 14 spa."Attitude Influences RecoveryKawai emphasizes that Searl's attitude played a meaningful role in her recovery. "As with many other procedures, a patient's mental strength is vital to getting through this process," he says. "Although the immune suppression we induce is supposed to be a minimally invasive conditioning relative to what patients go through for regular bone marrow transplantation, chemoradiation followed by major surgery is tough. Top that off with a couple of weeks of isolation, and what you have is a much more difficult regimen than regular kidney transplantation."It was only a matter of weeks before the gamble began to pay off. Searl's blood counts returned to normal, evidence that her new immune system was functioning, and she was released from isolation. A month after surgery, she was discharged from the Mass General on a single, mild immunosuppressant that was carefully withdrawn over a period of months. Searl soon found herself living something quite unexpected: a normal, healthy life, something she hadn't experienced since she was too young to appreciate it.Feeling FantasticWithin months, she was fully recovered from the rigors of the procedure and working toward her master's degree in library science. Within a year she was exercising regularly, and two years later she had achieved a goal many life-long runners would consider accomplishment enough: a 13.1-mile half-marathon. "It felt fantastic," Searl says. She completed a second half-marathon in May and now has set her sights on swimming in the summer Transplant Olympics and improving her cycling skills to begin competing in triathlons.Searl is believed to be the only person in the world to undergo both a standard kidney transplant and a simultaneous kidney and bone marrow transplant. She is the first of several patients to date to undergo her particular procedure at the Mass General. Three of them, including Searl, are currently off immunosuppression, and the last patient is now being tapered. "I've done it both ways, and I'll tell anybody who will listen that this way is better," she says. "This whole experience - except for that first month - has been amazing. I think of all the people who worked for decades on this, and I just want to show them that it was all worth it. Dr. Kawai in particular has taken incredible care of me."As it is, the quality of Searl's life is quite good - a fact that might surprise anyone who hears how much time she still spends at the Mass General. For the past three years, Searl has been putting her library skills to work as a health communications specialist for the Cancer Resource Room at the Mass General. "I'm not surprised to find myself back here," she admits. "At this point, the Mass General has been like a second home to me for more than half my life," she laughs. "I'm way too comfortable with this place!"

In a scramble by NHL teams to free space under the salary cap before the start of free agency, five veteran players were placed on unconditional waivers on Wednesday.
The Minnesota Wild confirmed they waived defenseman Tom Gilbert for the purpose of buying out the remaining year of his contract. The Nashville Predators said they placed forward Sergei Kostitsyn on waivers.
Also waived, according to a person familiar with the moves, were Detroit defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, Vancouver defenseman Keith Ballard and Buffalo forward Nathan Gerbe. The person revealed the list of waived players to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the NHL doesn't announce these moves.
"Due to the NHL salary cap decreasing this season, we needed to make this difficult decision to give the team more flexibility," Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher said regarding the team's decision to waive Gilbert.
The other four players waived on Wednesday could land in the same buyout category in moves made before the free-agency period opens at noon Friday.
Former New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro cleared waivers and had his contract bought out by the team. Washington defenseman Jeff Schultz also cleared waivers and is expected to have the remaining two years and $6 million left on his contract bought out.
The Philadelphia Flyers issued qualifying offers to retain the rights to defensemen Erik Gustafsson, Oliver Lauridsen, Brandon Manning and forward Eric Wellwood. The Flyers declined to make offers to defenseman Blake Kessel and forward Mitch Wahl, allowing both to become unrestricted free agents.
The St. Louis Blues re-signed defenseman Jordan Leopold to a two-year contract. Leopold is a 10-year veteran who had two assists in 15 regular-season games with St. Louis after being acquired by the Blues in a trade with Buffalo on March 31.
Teams had until Wednesday to place players on waivers in order to buy out their contracts. Under the collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed to buy out contracts of two players over the next two seasons.
The clause was included to allow teams to clear space under the salary cap, which is dropping from $70.2 million last season to $64.3 million. Contracts of bought-out players won't count against a team's salary cap, though the players will be paid two-thirds of their remaining salary over double the years remaining on their contracts.
Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek announced on his Twitter account that he is on his way out of Toronto. Set to make $3.5 million over the final two years of his contract, Komisarek is expected to be bought out after spending part of last season playing in the minors.
The Florida Panthers announced they used a standard buyout on 36-year-old defenseman Filip Kuba, meaning the remaining year of his contract will still count against the salary cap. Kuba had a goal and nine assists in 44 games last season.
Gilbert is a seven-year veteran, who was set to make $3 million in the final year of his deal. The Wild have one of the NHL's most expensive payrolls and needed to make the move to free up space.
From Bloomington, Minn., Gilbert failed to make much of an impact with his hometown team after the Wild acquired him in a trade with Edmonton in 2012. Gilbert managed just three goals and 15 assists in 63 games.
Kostitsyn had one year left on his deal and was scheduled to make $3 million next season. The move didn't come as a surprise after Kostitsyn landed in coach Barry Trotz's doghouse last season, his third with Nashville. Kostitsyn is a six-year NHL veteran who had three goals and 12 assists in 46 games.
Kostitsyn has hinted that he could be open to playing in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League next season.
Ballard was scheduled to make $4.2 million in each of the final two years of his contract. He is an eight-year NHL player, who managed just two assists in 36 games with the Canucks last season.
The Sabres' decision to place Gerbe on waivers came as a surprise after general manager Darcy Regier indicated he had no plans to buy out any of his players. Gerbe had difficulty carving out a role during five seasons with Sabres.
Buffalo did re-sign journeyman forward Matt Ellis to a two-year contract. If Ellis doesn't play with the Sabres, the team is counting on him to serve as captain at AHL Rochester.
Colaiacovo struggled in his first and only season with the Red Wings, failing to play to his two-year, $4 million contract. He had an assist in six games last season, and added an assist in nine playoff games.
AP Sports Writers Ira Podell in New York, Teresa M. Walker in Nashville, Tenn., and Dave Campbell in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

Media flogs phony ice shelf scare story
by Gerard Jackson
TNA News with Commentary
No. 327, Monday 25 March 2002
The collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsular has give our scare-mongering journalists a field day, which, by pure coincidence, also provided the greens with more disinformation with which to confuse the public and intimidate politicians.
First we had Murdochs Australian publish story from The London Times also a Murdoch paper claiming that the collapse provides warning of what is likely to happen to the frozen continent if present trends in global warming continue (Huge ice shelf sinks into sea in a month by Mark Henderson, 21/3/02). The story warned of the potential release of enough water to raise the worlds sea level by 5 metres.
The Age published the Chilling truth behind the breaking Barrier (Andrew Darby, 23/302) as further evidence of global warming. Just to make sure we get the message, Mr Darby tells us that two masses of ice that broke away were larger than Greater Melbourne (7,695 square kilometres), and then stated "Climate change is to blame." In an attempt to ram up the fear meter Mr Darby reported that the temperature in the peninsular had risen by 2.5 degrees last century compared with 0.6 for the rest of the planet. He too gave us the scary line of a potential sea level rise of 5 meters.
Obviously reckoning that it should allow a good global warming scare story to go cold, The Age published another article (Science ponders the consequences of a shortened life shelf life by Gerard Wright. Quoting from a press release (this beats actually researching a story) issued by the National Snow and Ice Data Centre he tells us that the average thinning of the Antarctic glaciers " is consistent with a pattern of global warming." He also quoted from Professor MacAyeal who seemed to imply that worse was to come.
As is invariably the case, what matters is what journalists have omitted. Darby tells us that the temperature in the peninsular rose by 2.5 degrees last century. What he and the others did not say is that the Antarctic has been accumulating ice. In other words, it has been cooling. A recent article in Nature (Antarctic climate cooling and terrestrial ecosystem response, 31/1/02) written by 13 authors stated: "our spatial analysis of Antarctic meteorological data demonstrates a net cooling on the Antarctic continent between 1966 and 2000, particularly during summer and autumn. The McMurdo Dry Valleys have cooled by 0.7 °C per decade between 1986 and 2000, with similar pronounced seasonal trends."
As Peter Doran, a University of Chicago at Illinois scientist and lead author of the study, said: "... two or three years ago, when we were waiting for the big summers, we noticed that they didnt come. We were thinking that warm summers were the norm, and we were saying, Its going to get back to normal, but it never did." The studys conclusions are striking, finding that since 1978 temperatures across the continent dropped by an average of 0.125 degrees Fahrenheit per year, or 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade. How can this be when global warming theory predicts that the ice caps will warm up except for those greens who argue, when it suits them, that they will get colder. (Does this mean that the planet is getting cooler?)
So while the peninsular was warming the Antarctic was cooling. I stressed Antarctic because the peninsular is not even in the Antarctic Circle. Something else that these reporters also managed to overlook. What also needs to be stressed is that the warming of the peninsular was a local and not global phenomenon.
Now these journalists gave the impression that the break-up was rapid and even, in the case of Wright, unexpected. How did it escape the attention of these keen-eyed reporters that this break has been evident for years and fully expected? After all, this outcrop of ice was a glacier that had extended way beyond the coastline and into the ocean, extending itself further out to sea. Being a floating peninsular it was surrounded by water on four sides, including the water that flowed beneath it. No wonder scientists expected an eventual collapse. I wonder how many scientists would be prepared to gamble their reputations on a contrary view? Perhaps these journalists will find out for us?
Darby repeats the global warming figure of 0.6 degrees for the last century. Its a pity he didnt mention that not only did nearly all of that increase take place before 1940 but satellite and balloon measurements have not detected any global warming since 1979, which is when these measurement first began.
What is truly chilling is the contempt that these newspapers have for the truth and the well being of their readers. They simply refuse to publish stories or articles that question the views of global warming advocates. Without a doubt, the Australian media is a damn disgrace and must rank as one of the worst in the developed world.
The only thing I would modify about this paragraph is to substitute the term "world" for "Australian."
The neglect of basic education in science and mathematics in this country is a disgrace.
(I was discussing "global warming" with a Greenie friend a few months ago, and he was quoting a number of seriously-flawed studies. When I suggested that there were OTHER studies to look at, he said "They are all written by Right-wing nuts". So much for the "Scientific Method"!!!! Galileo would be proud.)
What, don't you WANT to be doomed????
That there should even be something called a 'liberal arts college'
while science majors are required to take humanities in regular
college and the reverse is not the case, leads to a convoluted
sentence. Hmm.
I just don't want to die. To that end,
I am planning to live 150 years. So
far, so good.
Conversely, water contracts when it warms up and liquifies.
Now, the enviro-NAZI's want us to believe that global warming will cause the polar ice caps to melt and RAISE the level of our oceans.
But is that actually possible? Most of the ice on our two poles resides above water, not land. The only water that will add to the volume of our oceans (even if global warming were true) would have to be that from ice above ground (a miniscule amount). Even if a large portion of all polar ice was above ground instead of water, the volume that said ice melting would contribute to our oceans would be greatly offset by the contracting volume REMOVED from our oceans by the melting of ice that is above water, and that's in a scenario in which ALL ice on this planet melts away.
Ice contracts when it melts. How likely is that fact going to contribute to RAISING our sea levels?!
The "Melons" (green on the outside,red on the inside) love these natural events and use them in their propaganda.
Archimedes principal requires that the volume of fresh water displaced by ice exactly equal the volume of the melted ice, so by that standard, you are correct. The ice resting on the earth's hard surface, even below sea level, distorts the earth's elastic shell, which floats on a sea of liquid rock (magma). As this ice moves into the sea, as ice or water, the land underneath will spring up, slightly and land else where will sink very slightly, the entire configuration seeking the lowest total potential energy.
Floating icepack near the shores forms a stopper which prevents the ice on the antartic continent and northern land masses from flowing into the oceans and buoys up the other continents.
That's how losing the antartic ice cap could "raise water levels".
That notwithstanding, globaling warming and ice shelf scares in the popular press are, IMHO, hogwash.
Of course they are scared. All the big liberal controlled cities (eg. Washington, NYC and Boston) would be among the first submerged. Hoo Yah!
Apparently you've never been to Charleston or New Orleans, which are "scarey low" for anyone who's ever been through a Hurricane. I grew up in Southern Queens where it was single digits above sea level. After Donna in 1960, the streets were flooded for a week. I've lived up around ~200 ft amsl the last 25 years and those kind of places scare me nowadays.

Transfer news: Martin Olsson leaves Blackburn for Norwich on four-year deal
Norwich have signed Martin Olsson from Blackburn on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Last Updated: 10/07/13 4:50pm
The Sweden left-back, who can also play in midfield, returns to the Premier League on a four-year contract after Rovers accepted an undisclosed offer.
Olsson joins Javier Garrido, Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Nathan Redmond in signing on for Chris Hughton's side.
And Hughton told the club website: "We're delighted with the addition of Martin. He's been playing in England for seven years and is well acclimatised to the Premier League.
"He can also play anywhere on the left hand side so he brings us good flexibility in that sense, plus at 25 he's at an age where he has some experience and also some time to improve.
"At this time it's about improving the squad that we have and Martin certainly does that."
Olsson, who arrived at Ewood Park as a 17-year-old eight years ago, leaves with a record of six goals in 143 appearances.
Norwich have also signed Stoke keeper Carlo Nash on a one-year deal to add to their depth in goal.
With Jed Steer gone to Aston Villa and Declan Rudd heading to Preston on loan, Nash becomes the third-choice at Carrow Road and provides backup to John Ruddy and Mark Bunn.
Hughton added: "It is important to us to bring in a 'keeper of great experience and a player that is used to living life in the Premier League.
"The move also allows us to send Declan Rudd out on an extremely valuable season-long loan to Preston where he can get some first-team football under his belt."

Craig Tatum (29) -He's in the Diamondback camp this year.
Corky Miller (36) - His full legal name is Corky Abraham Phillip Miller. His mother worried about giving him the name "Corky", thinking it might not be appropriate if he were to be elected president. It's looking increasingly like that may not be an issue.
Geronimo Berroa (47) -Played for the '92 Reds, a few years before he went to Oakland and proved that he was a good player all the time.
Dwayne Murphy (57) -Part of Oakland's great outfield with Henderson and Armas. An avid bass player, he helped bankroll the first album by former A's batboy M.C. Hammer.
Elbie Fletcher -In 1934, a Boston newspaper held a contest in which readers could vote on which Boston high school player was the best prospect, with the winner receiving a non-roster invitation to Braves spring training. Elbie, aided by his large family stuffing the ballot box, won the contest, and against all odds made the team and spent 12 years in the majors.
Hiram Bithorn -The first Puerto Rican to pitch in the majors. Shot and killed by a policeman at age 35; the policeman claimed Bithorn was violent but the shooting was ruled a murder. The stadium in San Juan is named for him.
Al Benton -The answer to a classic trivia question as the only pitcher to face both Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. Also the only player to lay down two sacrifice bunts in the same inning. Died at age 57 in a motel explosion (?!)

There are no LeBron James-magnitude free agents in the NFL, although if James wanted to play football, he probably would be the exception.
If any mortal could chase down Colin Kaepernick in full gallop, I would put my money on LBJ.
Otherwise, as we wait for the free-agent-signing window to open Tuesday, I have two words for owners, general managers and eager fans everywhere:
Buyer beware.
Except in the rarest of cases, no single expensive player can guarantee blessed fortunes for an NFL franchise the way LeBron's arrival in Miami signaled prolonged glad tidings for the Heat.
NFL reality: Fans love any and all big-name acquisitions, yet there is no such thing as a pricey quick fix, and if you sign multiple big free agents, you're more likely to actually get worse.
Just ask the Philadelphia Eagles, who threw their checkbook at cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and others in a 2011 splurge and still are digging out from that error.
Or the Buffalo Bills, who handed $50 million in guaranteed cash to defensive end Mario Williams in a six-year deal last offseason and still were terrible on defense in 2012.
Or the Seattle Seahawks, who gave quarterback Matt Flynn $10 million guaranteed for three years and then wisely made him the backup to third-round pick Russell Wilson.
Or the Raiders with their spend-in-the-spring-lose-in-the-fall outcome almost every recent year until the 2011 regime change.
Or the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Giants, who have won the past two Super Bowls without much thought or money devoted to frenzied free-agent headlines.
You need a strong personnel system to win big in the NFL-teams with strong systems almost always produce their own stars and don't need to import them from other teams.
This is not to say that there aren't many very talented free agents available this offseason, as there are every offseason.
But how many free agents have been true difference-makers and changed a good team into a great one?
Of course, Reggie White and Deion Sanders altered NFL history in the early 1990s when they changed teams ?& but that was almost two decades ago, when free agency was young.
More recently, the biggest impact has come almost solely from free-agent quarterbacks, and each with unique back stories.
Rich Gannon was hardly a marquee free agent, but then he revitalized his career and the Raiders under Jon Gruden.
Peyton Manning (from Indianapolis to Denver) and Drew Brees (San Diego to New Orleans) were special cases-franchise quarterbacks who were on teams that had already picked their replacements.
OK, on to the current local landscape ?&
The 49ers could use a wide receiver or two, a free safety (if they can't re-sign Dashon Goldson) and a few pass rushers behind Aldon Smith and Justin Smith.
Side note: Justin Smith was one of the great free-agent signings in recent NFL history when he jumped from Cincinnati to the 49ers in 2008.
The Raiders could use help everywhere, especially on the defensive line, at linebacker and at cornerback.
But the smartest teams avoid the big markups in the early rush and take their time sifting through the remainder bin.
That is how the 49ers landed Carlos Rogers and Donte Whitner in 2011 (when their fans were screaming for them to spend whatever it took to get Asomugha).
The 49ers already have made their largest offseason deal by agreeing to trade Alex Smith to Kansas City for a second-round pick this year and a premium conditional pick in 2014, and the draft always will be G.M. Trent Baalke's sweet spot.
So I don't expect the 49ers to chase any of the spring headliners, whether in a trade for cornerback Darrelle Revis or on the open market, bidding for wide receivers Mike Wallace or Wes Welker.
Under Baalke, the 49ers have preferred the low-profile route, scooping up solid players for value salaries (Whitner, Jonathan Goodwin) or taking in big-name players at bottom-rung prices (Randy Moss).
Some value possibilities: slot receiver Danny Amendola, kick returner/receiver Josh Cribbs, defensive end John Abraham and kicker Phil Dawson.
The Raiders have to do it similarly low key, at least until they get their salary-cap situation back into shape.
The Raiders could get a big jump on the cap savings if they release quarterback Carson Palmer outright, but I doubt things will go that far.
The Raiders need a credible starting quarterback to work in front of Terrelle Pryor, and Palmer needs a comfortable home and a team that wants him. The two sides should be able to find a compromise.
Last year, Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie signed a few midlevel guys-Mike Brisiel, Philip Wheeler and others-and didn't get much from them or anybody else.
I can't confidently list realistic Raiders possibilities this year, because I couldn't have named any of the players they ended up with last year.
But talented Tennessee Titans tight end Jared Cook could be an interesting addition to any offense, including the Raiders, who seem to be ready to lose starter Brandon Myers.
Beyond that, I'm sure a few teams will spend lavishly in a few days and revel in the praise; and the 49ers, the Raiders, the Ravens, the Giants and several others probably will not, and probably will get some criticism.
The sting of that goes away, however, by January, if you're in the playoffs and the big spenders are spent.

You Feelin' Lucky, Punter?
If the Pimlico Special-Preakness double means anything, which it does, it appears that Orb is likely to be 4-5 or possibly less at post time.
Orb looms the most probable winner, whether you believe there's a lot more in the tank, which I believe there is, or his last was indeed a very big forward move, he's coming back in two weeks, and has drawn the rail.
All his success in two turn races this year have come racing outside of horses. The reason for the short price, the horse notwithstanding, are the popular connections, the talents of Joel Rosario and the public wants it.
(Remember, the public wanted better background checks, too).
But Orb is a very good horse, and good horses show up on the day. When they don't, they still win. Orb definitely should win, but that's not the way to bet, as the saying goes.
Remember when Itsmyluckyday was the fastest 3-year-old in the country in graded stakes around two turns? So do I.
Before sounding his retreat in the Derby, he raced close enough to that hot pace that he comes into the Preakness off a New Pace Top., often a harbinger of improved performance
Itsmyluckyday worked sharply at his Monmouth base and his outisde position and new rider John Velazquez gives him a chance to trip out in Preakness 138, which gives him better than a puncher's chance to pull off an upset.
If Johnny knows one thing, he knows he needs to get first run, which he should, and hold on to that lead, which is the question. At double digit odds, it's a risk that's worth the reward.
We're taking Itsmyluckyday to win at 8-1 or greater, an exacta box with Orb, and super exotics that include all but Govenor Charley and Titletown Five in money positions.
Number of Selections: 1317
Number of Win-Place-Show Finishers: 403-249-202
Amount Wagered: $2,634 [to win only]
Total Dollar Return on Investment: $2,765.50
Profit to Date: $131.50

Facebook techie strokes STEC's hot data flash drive
That's a Like for server-side caches
SSD supplier STEC has built software to bump hot data on disks into server flash caches to get I/O-bound apps running faster.
It's called EnhancedIO SSD Cache Software and is available for Linux and Windows. A particular Linux version, based on Facebook's FlashCache module for its cloudy data centres, will be available under the GPL v2, a free software licence.
STEC has submitted a version of the EnhanceIO SSD Cache source code to the Linux community; it's being very open about this - but it has little choice: FlashCache's GPL licence requires the source to be disclosed anyway.
Mohan Srinivasan, a software engineer at Facebook and one of FlashCache's original architects, said: "FlashCache has proven to be an invaluable tool for accelerating application performance at Facebook. We believe organisations can benefit from the improved application performance and user experience enabled by using STEC's version of FlashCache."
Blessed by Facebook? It must be good. The software can use any SAS, Fibre Channel, PCIe or SATA solid-state disk as a cache device, not just STEC's, and STEC says apps suffering from tired old SAN backend disk arrays can be given an I/O boost with server-side caches for regularly used 'hot' data.
EnhanceIO SSD Cache Software pricing starts at $295 for Linux and $495 for Windows for a one-year subscription per server installation that includes updates, upgrades and customer support. ®

Hi guys,
I have recently been working on our site, www.thesussexnewspaper.com.
We use Joomla and we need to use the Hot or Not extension which I have downloaded and installed. However when I activate it, the module simply shows up on our homepage.

The somewhat controversial outdoor amphitheater at Aaron Bessant Park is complete.
Work crews broke ground last August, despite protests from nearby residents that events at the facility would create more noise, traffic and trash.
Adriana Saba lives near Pier Park and enjoys walking around the new amphitheater .
"Oh, I think it looks absolutely beautiful, I'm so happy to have it here now," Saba said.
In the past, temporary stages were built to hold larger events, the goal was to have something permanent.
Saba was one of the nearby residents that was not upset about possible noise problems, but some of her neighbors were.
Beach City Manager Mario Gisbert said city council members have gone to great lengths to make sure noise will not be a problem.
"We've had great input from the community on things we could do to make the facility meet the community's needs," said Gisbert. "We've put restrictions to address those and address some of the neighbors sound concerns."
The city hired a local production company to run some tests.
Gisbert says the amphitheater handled concert condition without violating the current city noise ordinance, or disturbing the neighbors.
"No, I didn't hear anything actually," said Saba. "I wish I had heard it."
The amphitheater's first scheduled event is the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, it will be April 17-21.
"I sure look forward to seeing the concerts, but we'll have to come here I'm afraid, since we can't hear it at home," Saba said.
There could be another event prior to the jazz festival, but city officials are not releasing any of the details.
Controversial Amphitheater Completed

A bear that wandered into the University of Colorado Boulder, Colo., dorm complex Williams Village falls from a tree after being tranquilized by Colorado wildlife officials, April 26.
Authorities say a bear made famous by a photo that captured the animal falling from a tree at the University of Colorado has been hit and killed by two cars.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say the black bear was struck on U.S. 36 around dawn Thursday by one car and then another.
Parks spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill told msnbc.com that officials identified the bear as the same one whose photograph went viral by checking an ear tag that was placed on him after last week's tree incident.
PhotoBlog: Tranquilized bear falls from tree at University of Colorado
Images of the 3-year old, 280-pound male bear, its arms and legs splayed as it fell April 26, were widely viewed in newspapers, on news websites, and passed around social networks.
The animal was later relocated to a wilderness area about 50 miles west of Boulder.
According to the Daily Camera, a 1992 Toyota Camry hit the bear first, followed by a 2002 Ford Focus. Police say one driver had minor injuries after hitting the bear.
Churchill said the bear will be buried or disposed of in the manner roadkill is usually handled.
"I'm not sure what condition the body was in," she added.
Churchill said relocating bears is a difficult proposition, as the animals often return to the areas they used to inhabit. "Animals have home ranges and if they find habitat and they're finding food, even in town, and they feel safe there, they'll stay there," she said.
"We need [citizens] to give these bears a chance by not attracting them to town with trash and bird feeders and other food sources."
Churchill said it's not uncommon for bears to be killed by cars in Colorado.
"It's very disheartening when we have to see animals die this way," she said. "I hope it's a teaching moment for people because we really owe it to wildlife to do the right thing if we're going to live near them."

2003 Softball
Seven starters back for Bluffton softball squad in 2003By Tim Stried
February 27, 2003
Fifth year head coach Ty Cook returns seven starters from last season's Bluffton College softball squad, which finished third in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season standings, and hopes are high that that experience will take the Beavers to even greater heights in 2003.
"All of our positions except one outfielder will have veterans returning," said Cook, who ranks second on the Bluffton all-time wins list with 72 victories in just four seasons for a school-record average of 18 wins per season. "We're 2-deep at every position-that's a great feeling to have. The people who are second in line will push the starters. We'll be solid and deep and our hitting has come a long way from last year. We really don't have any weaknesses."
After collecting win totals of 19, 20 and 20 in 1999, 2000 and 2001, Bluffton lined up with seven new starters in the field last year and that inexperience caused BC to get off to a bit of a slow start. The Beavers earned just three wins in their first 17 games, but the second half of the season was a different story as Bluffton went 9-7 to end the regular season and carried the number two seed into the HCAC tournament. Last season Bluffton finished 9-4-1 in the conference and 13-22-1 overall in a season highlighted by an 8-2 record at home and a six-game HCAC winning streak.
"I've asked for more intensity in practice and I have gotten that," said Cook. "This team has a lot of desire and heart. We've been second in the conference for too many years. Our goal is to be the number one seed in the conference tournament and then win the conference tournament. That's what we expect."
Among the seven returning starters is a pair of players with All-HCAC honors on their resume. Junior leftfielder Amber Fitzwater earned first team honors last season after batting .357 in HCAC games and compiling a .400 on-base percentage. She fashioned an 11-game hitting streak during the season and led the team in runs scored (19) and doubles (5). Junior catcher Amanda Payne is also back after earning All-HCAC honors as a freshman when she batted .375 against HCAC pitching.
Payne shared the catching duties last season with now-sophomore Michelle Pleiman, who batted .286 in league games despite missing several games with an injury. Sophomore Lane Leedy will also see action behind the plate, while freshman Michelle Metzger will add depth at both catcher and pitcher.
Around the infield, returning starters include sophomore Mandy Snider at shortstop, senior Melissa Alexander at second base and seniors Stephanie Rush and Melissa Neal at first base. Rush led the squad last season in doubles (8) and RBI (17) and her .296 batting average is tops among all returners. Neal, whose .275 average last season is second only to Rush's among returners, will also see time at designated hitter. Sophomore Jackie Wells will likely step into the third base spot where she saw action as a backup last year.
Adding depth to the infield is sophomore Becky Heller and freshmen Michelle DeVault, Kate Barringer and Lindsay Miller.
Joining Fitzwater in the outfield is sophomore centerfielder Allison Lange, who was the only player to start all 36 games for Bluffton last spring. She had seven multi-hit games, which was second only to Rush's total of nine, on her way to batting .240 with nine RBI and 14 runs, which ranked second on the team. Bluffton's rightfielder last season, Paul Fry, is expected to miss the first half of the season with a knee injury suffered during the basketball campaign. She started in 27 games last spring and batted .239.
Although Cook sees no weaknesses in this year's squad, there is a position without much experience-that being the pitching staff.
Gone is two-time All-HCAC selection Emily Kurtz, who graduated in May with nearly every Bluffton career pitching record. Also not returning to the field are pitchers Stacy Herr, who will serve as a student-assistant coach, and Janeen Arps. Cook will hand the ball to a pitching staff that although is inexperienced, is talented.
"Our pitchers will still be one of the strengths of this team," said Cook. "Sarah Betz has a lot of pitches and she has great movement on those pitches. Jenny Lehman has the opportunity to take a lot of innings this spring, and Jessica Rosengarten will be out there too. We will still be dependent on our pitchers this season. The ball starts with them, but we have so much experience behind them."
Bluffton will begin its season next week at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Florida, and Cook has her team's attention focused in the right direction.
"We have talked more about being mentally strong this year. We've set a lot of goals, the first of which is to improve every day. If we do that, the wins will take care of themselves and we'll peak at tournament time."

A cocoa laced cake packed with chocolate goodness and covered in a tangy sour cream frosting. Not to mention zucchini. Shredded zucchini adds incredible moistness and body to the cake making it dense but not heavy.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think zucchini cake could taste so heavenly good! You may think it sounds odd if you've never experienced it before but trust me when I say it's not. It's exactly like inserting applesauce or banana into your baking.
You know the ones I'm talking about. The certified vegetable haters, the ones who kick and scream when the smallest piece of vegetable is set in front of them.
When you wrap chocolate and sugar around zucchini no one can resist it's lure.
Especially when that pertinent piece of information is kept from them.
I don't normally condone this kind of behavior but if it gets people to eat their veggies than I plead the fifth!
P.S. Just between you and I, my family still isn't aware there's zucchini in this cake. It'll be our little secret. Tee-hee.
A zucchini-laced cake packed with chocolate goodness and topped with a fluffy sour cream frosting.
- Put the grated zucchini in a colander to drain, you don't want to drain all the water out of it so you don't have to squeeze it.
- Preheat oven to 325º F. Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a separate large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Beat in oil, then one egg at a time, then vanilla. Alternately beat in flour mixture and buttermilk in 3 batches beginning and ending with flour on low speed. Stir in the zucchini.
- Pour batter into greased pan and spread evenly. Bake 1 hour and 10 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from center.
- Remove from oven and cool on wire rack, turn out after 15-20 minutes or if using spring form carefully remove the ring. Cool completely before frosting.
- In a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter until fluffy on medium speed, then beat in vanilla, slowly add two cups of the confectioners' sugar and beat until well incorporated and fluffy.
- Beat in the sour cream until well combined.
- Beat in the remaining 1 - 2 cups of sugar until well incorporated, fluffy and thick enough to spread 3 - 5 minutes. When you lift the beater it should stick to it.
- Frost cake and sprinkle with walnuts.

I disagree with you all.

No, Aladdin hasn't solved anything. Reme has legitimate grievances against Magnostadt, that haven't been addressed. Likewise, the magicians have good reasons to want to stay independent. And alive. But if they want to solve anything in an acceptable manner, they're going to have to negotiate, which isn't going to happen as long as Reme believes it can take anything it wants for cheap by force of arms.

Just read 175.
What Mu said this and last chapter, it really makes you think if Scheherazade is a magi. Something that neither Scheherazade or Mogamett can do, and Aladdin just hits the reset button.
For the next chapter, Mu will probably go Full Djinn equip and fight against Aladdin. I don't think he has that much magoi left after using Barbatos' power, so when he does Djinn equip, he'll use more magoi than he has and fight to the death.
Aladdin will have to fight to save him (knock him out to stop Djinn equip), will have trouble and that's where Alibaba comes in.

ı think you are forgetting that aladdin is just a kid and inexperienced. despite that for me he did the right thing. ı mean even 200 hundred year-old bitch couldn't find a solution other than war. expecting an answer from him, Mu should be ashamed of himself to force a kid made a decision an adult should make. well for me Aladdin did the right thing rather than sitting down and wathing everything.

Spoiler for Sinbad side story:
Also its funny that even if Aladdin said he undone what Riem has done he has forgotten the piles of died bodies on both sides. I can't but think that some of the magicians in this chapter could well be upset that Aladdin didn't kill the Riem solders.

BTW, it looks like there's no chapter next week, so that just leaves us an extra week of moral ambiguity debating until then!
Anyways, looking at the last page there, it seems that Mu has a plan to counter Aladdin's sand trap with his vessel. And so I assume that means that the cycle of both warring parties one-upping each other will continue without end until yet another outside party (Kou) comes along to break the equilibrium.....

No, I think Mu will attempt to take out Aladdin since Barbatos is a Djinn with Strength magic not gravity magic. After all, Reim's biggest obstacle right now is Aladdin. Without Aladdin, the Fanalis Corp would have pierced through the second barrier and killed all the mages on the battlefield 2 chapters ago.
I also suspect that Alibaba will not show up until Ren Kouha make his appearance. The good guys need one last trump card to counter the Kou Empire's threat after all.

On a side note, that last panel is the first time I've ever seen anything other than cold determination on Mu's face, he REALLY must not want to use his full djinn equip.
I'm betting his Djinn Equip is of the self-destructive variety, like Masrur's household vessel but on a more extreme level

So Mu has a time limit of less than a minute? And here I thought Alibaba's magoi was really low compared to other Dungeon Conquerors.
I wasn't really sure what type of power Barbatos gives. At first I thought it was wind or sound when the households were activated, but after this chapter, it uses the 7th type, power type.
Surprised the Bolg can be distorted to increase defence, if Aladdin could do it, why didn't the fodder magicians use it against the household vessels?
Really surprised how Aladdin used his short staff against Mu's long spear, it's kinda obvious which has the better chance of winning.
Aladdin's declaration about not letting a single life return to the rukh didn't come true, looks like dozens got killed in Mu's attack.
Alibaba to the rescue.
Hope next chapter will be a face-to-face talk (skype talk, the magician way) between Mogamett, Scheherazade and Aladdin, with Titus, Mu and Alibaba in attendance.
Edit: Alibaba must be a world champion in long distance running, given how quickly he got to Aladdin. Unless he started running since the beginning of the war and arrived just now...

Gallery: Post-Easter Inspired Decor
As tempting as it is to crack myself up by making this post about decorating using bunny decals, I'm going to bite my tongue, do the right thing and introduce the idea of pastels.
Before your inner grown-up spasms at the mere mention of them, allow me to suggest that pastels are not just for little girls and/or grown women clutching posters of Disney princesses. Instead, I challenge you to flip the script: pastels are for the bold. By going pastel, you're telling the world that you're secure in your femininity, and you're not afraid to wield a little pink paint to prove it.

Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands met with reporters for a few minutes before the annual Linn County I-Club banquet Wednesday night. He admitted he knew more about the vacant Iowa State opening than he would tell reporters, but he talked about the impact of former Iowa State Coach Cael Sanderson taking over at Penn State.
"He's doing what he feels he needs to do to win championships for his family," Brands said. "Whether it makes sense to other people, it doesn't matter. He's making the call, and Penn State is certainly a program to be worthy of pursuing. No doubt.Here's the video:
"Specifically Penn State, the last time it was open was 11 years ago. They (jobs) don't come around very often. He looked at it, analyzed it and made the call. I'm speaking for him."
Brands said he won't change his approach of facing Penn State just because of Sanderson.
"I think the challenge is always great," Brands said. "(Sanderson) certainly boosts their program, but we have to get ready for them just the same. Now they've got a new coach at Penn State, and we'll be prepared like we always are for everything."
There have been no discussions, but count on the Iowa-Penn State dual in Iowa City next winter costing fans a few more bucks as the school's designated premium wrestling meet.
Iowa Coach Todd Lickliter left the event early to attend an open gym on the final night he could see prospects. Iowa officially signed Vincennes junior-college forward Devon Archie on Wednesday and can offer up to three more scholarships for the fall, but only "if it's the right guy," Lickliter said.
"We've looked at both the post players, and we've also looked at combo guard-perimeters and somebody that can complement," Lickliter said. "I really believe we have positions filled right now. But we need is some added depth. And I'm not talking about added depth as far as positions and how many minutes you play or if you start or whatever. I'm talking about matching skills.
"We've got skills that complement one another, and we could use another guy that could fit in well. We've seen a few, and we're comfortable with more than one guy that I've seen. It's still a process, and we just have to make sure that it's the right move."
Lickliter said the school has no visits scheduled with potential recruits. He'd like to add walk-on players this fall as well. Iowa now has added four new scholarship players to this fall's team.

Amsterdam--In a series of press conferences around the world Wednesday, Nokia launched an entirely new line of multimedia devices that includes megapixel cameraphones and the handset manufacturer's first multi-gigabyte hard drive in a phone.
The Amsterdam press conference featured a brief but stylish performance by Alicia Keys. Keys, wearing a blousy orange top, jeans and jeweled boots, sang three songs on the convention center stage. Usually restrained journalists applauded enthusiastically.
Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila admitted at a packed press conference that he's having a hard time calling his company's products mobile phones anymore. He refers to them as mobile devices, while others in the company call them "multimedia computers."
Whatever you call them, Nokia's new "Nseries" of handsets are aimed at a high-end market that wants to combine photography, video, music and enterprise productivity into one device.
Three Nseries handsets were announced Wednesday: the N90, N91 and N70. The first is expected to go on sale for about $900 (700 Euros) in the second quarter, appearing first in Europe and then in the United States in July or August. The second two, priced at about $900 and $650 respectively, will go on sale in Europe in the third or fourth quarter, with U.S. appearances delayed possibly into 2006.
All the handsets are GSM/W-CDMA, so their utility won't be fully reached in the United States until Cingular Wireless launches its 3G network more broadly. The handsets also envision using the multimedia content in a variety of ways, not only over a cellular network, but also synchronization with a PC or even the use of Wi-Fi.
The Nseries handsets are part of Nokia's line-up of smartphones, which Nokia expects to double in sales in 2005 to 25 million devices, Ollila said. He also said Nokia expects to sell 40 million devices this year with MP3 players built into them, making Nokia the largest mobile music device manufacturer. The Nseries phones all will use Nokia's Series 60 smartphone platform.
Earlier this year, Nokia announced it had licensed Microsoft's music player software to put on its phones. Nokia also partnered with another Seattle company, Loudeye, which has a large catalog of digital music and a platform for downloading music over cellular networks.
Anssi Vanjoki, a Nokia executive vice president and general manager of its multimedia division, said the company wants to create a 'world-leading brand' with the Nseries devices. He said the three handsets announced this week will not be the last Nokia will announce this year.
The first handset in the Nseries, the N90, is an imaging phone with a 2-megapixel camera for still and video photography. Ollila said it will use high-quality lenses from the legendary German manufacturer, Carl Zeiss. It has a multiple hinge, "twist-and-shoot" form.
The N91 clearly aims at the mobile music market dominated by Apple's iPod. It has a 4-GB hard drive that will hold up to 3,000 songs. By comparison, the original iPod has a 20-GB hard drive and the iPod Shuffle is 520 megabytes, or 1 GB. The N91 uses W-CDMA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 for connectivity.
The N70 will be the smallest Nokia Series 60 phone but includes a 2-megapixel camera, push e-mail, an HTML browser, music player and FM radio.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Monday proposed hiring six contractors to manage gang-prevention programs in the city's hardest-hit areas – a move designed to reinvent L.A.'s gang strategy, but one sure to upset nonprofits that had relied on city contracts for years. Kerry Cvanaugh in the Daily News.
The annual $500,000 contracts would be the first awarded since the mayor announced in April that he would end the L.A. Bridges gang-prevention program for lack of accountability and oversight.
Instead, the mayor pledged to reallocate the money to new contractors through a competitive bidding process that he says better ensures that the money leads to reduced gang membership.

We're really on the subject of software installation issues on OSNews lately, and this story, making its rounds on the internet, fits in quite well. Back in the day, during the antitrust lawsuits against Microsoft, Microsoft had to make a whole slew of corporate email public. In light of Gates' imminent withdrawal from Microsoft, SeattlePI dug up a little gem among these emails, one in which Bill Gates goes on a full-blown rant about the difficulties he had trying to download and install Windows MovieMaker, back in 2003.

Not really. The user part of the site is pretty much a sales pitch. Its the tech professionals that have to go there, and usually MS treats us like kings.
MS should be outsourcing the site to a web design firm. If they are already, they should fire that firm and hire another one.

BOX SCORE (html) | BOX SCORE (pdf)
NEW YORK – First-year Tori Oliver became the first Columbia player since January 2010 to go over the 30-point plateau, racking up a career-best 33 points, but Dartmouth shot 61 percent from the field to capture an 82-75 road victory Friday at Levien Gym.
Oliver went 11-of-18 from the field and 11-of-15 from the free throw line in 36 minutes of action. Her 11 made field goals is most of any Lion season. Judie Lomax was the last player to reach 30, hitting that mark against Cornell on Jan. 23, 2010.
Columbia, as a team, shot a season-best 56 percent from the field.
Senior Courtney Bradford grabbed five boards to push her career total to 602. She is the eighth player in program history to bring down more than 600 rebounds in a career.
Dartmouth took control of the game early, sprinting out to an 8-1 lead in the first three minutes. The Big Green maintained its advantage through the initial stages of the half, building a nine-point lead, 18-9, at the 11:03 mark.
Coming out of that media break, the Lions offense began to find its stride, putting together an 8-2 spurt that closed the gap to just three points, 20-17. Sophomore Sara Mead recorded buckets around a Tori Oliver lay-in during that stretch to give Columbia something to build on at its offensive end of the floor.
Oliver became the go-to player for Columbia over the remainder of the first period, racking up 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, but the Big Green was able to extend its lead up to double figures and took a 45-31 advantage at halftime.
Columbia opened the second half with Oliver knocking down a jumper just nine seconds in and Mead following with a layup before the first minute expired. The Lions continued to chip away at the lead with senior Taylor Ward hitting from downtown and Amara Mbionwu converting from close range, cutting the deficit to 49-40 with 16:57 left to play.
The Big Green was able to fend off the Columbia charge, keeping the Lions at bay with at least a nine-point cushion over the next 10 minutes. Oliver continued to carry much of the offensive load for Lions and at the 6:42 mark completed an old-fashioned three-point play to cut the Dartmouth lead down to seven, 64-57. The rookie from Manassas, Va. kept on scoring, hitting two freebies and then adding a layup the next two possessions to keep the Lions at pace with the Big Green.
The seven-point lead remained intact until the final minute when Oliver finished off another and-one play to cut the gap to five points, 78-73. Dartmouth, though, made all four of its free throw attempts down the stretch to seal the win.
Mead and Bradford joined Oliver in doubles figures with 12 and 10, respectively. Columbia outrebounded Dartmouth, 30-22, but the Big Green went 6-of-10 from beyond the arc, while the Lions were just 1-of-6.
Columbia will host Senior Night in its final home game of the season Saturday evening against Harvard at 7 p.m.

I used to be the exact same way. However, a few years ago I decided to sit down and configure KDE to my liking. Now that I've done so, I wouldn't even consider going back to Gnome. If you use your computer for hours every day, I would strongly suggest spending a bit of time to configure KDE. The relatively small amount of time it takes to configure everything to your liking is well worth it. In my opinion, it's a much better desktop environment and practically every KDE application is far beyond its Gnome counterpart.and honestly, KDE's configurability just scares me
2) That Linus uses GNOME and gripes about it instead of just using what he likes. Isn't the entire point of the open source ecosystem to give the user choices? Linus can hardly bitch if he doesn't bother to use an alternative. 2a) Or (even worse) he uses KDE but chooses to go out of his way to bitch at some other open source project.
Actually, Linus uses and prefers KDE but was raked over the coals for publicly stating that was his preference because of what he saw as flaws in GNOME. It was the GNOME g

It's a problem of manpower. My understanding is that there was a sudden and unexpected number of Gnome documentation people who were unable to contribute as they have in the past, which is what prompted this post by Quim Gil [desdeamericaconamor.org] calling for help.
Yeah, but the people got worse.It's the year 2007 and we have desktops with the same intelligence as those back in the early 80's.
Of course he doesn't. If he did he would code it himself or pay someone to do it instead of whining on slashdot where the GNOME developers (or any devs of large desktop environment project) may never see his complaints. The GP would do better to post his wish list on the Gnome mailing lists.Do you have any idea how difficult something like that would be to code?
Your suggestions such as "extending applications by simply dragging and dropping features from one application to another"
That's why we always keep going back to the command line shell where you can do a grep on the output of just about anything.

So, when are we going to see smart and innovative desktops that dramatically improve user friendliness?

This is pointless. The dev has to code the search feature into the app for it work, so let it be up to the dev whether or not a search box is appropriate. GTK provides standard widgets to keep the same look and feel between apps, not to replicate functionality.
