The initial reports that Julius Erving's auctioning off memorabilia was linked to his alleged financial woes. Erving responded that he's not a "hoarder or collector" and that the auction is for charity denying any connection to his personal financial circumstances.
Many seem to think that the sale of MVP trophies or championship rings will wipe away the memories. But proving that memories are more complex than carbohydrates, the autographed photograph of the 1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers actually reminded me that this year marks the 35th anniversary of the team many consider the best team to not win a championship.
The 1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers were contenders like Brando on the waterfront in just four short seasons after the franchise finished 9-73; the nadir of NBA futility. But after that infamous season the team began to bounce back by hiring Gene Shue to coach and drafting Doug Collins, a 6-6 shooting guard from Illinois State, with the number one overall selection.
George McGinnis vastly improved the team by joining prior to the start of the 1975-76 season. He was actually drafted by the 76ers in the same year as Collins. That would have been after McGinnis' senior year at Indiana University but by then he was already under contract and playing with the Indiana Pacers in the ABA. The burly 6-8 McGinnis, a native of Indianapolis, left Indiana after his sophomore year as the Big Ten Player of the Year (his first and only season as then NCAA rules banned freshmen from playing varsity) to join the hometown Pacers.
The NBA led by then legal counsel David Stern a few years earlier defended its rule that only players whose college class had graduated were eligible to be drafted. Although the NBA's settlement of the law suit brought by Spencer Haywood allowed him and others to enter as underclassmen, a player had to demonstrate financial need under their "hardship" exception.
McGinnis and others didn't feel obligated to turn over tax returns to make a living and jumped to play in the less restrictive ABA. Listening to the advice to take the money and run he also avoided the wrath of the incoming coach named Bobby Knight. So, with the 76ers retaining McGinnis' rights while he played in the ABA, he was in Philly after four seasons with the Pacers.
But the home team for the City of Brotherly Love became the envy of the NBA with the acquisition of ABA legend Julius "Dr.J" Erving before the start of the 1976-77 season. Up to that point, his hair flying acrobatics were performed in the ABA and with no national television coverage he was as visible as underground hip hop. But now, Doc, winner of multiple ABA titles and MVP honors was ready to operate in the NBA.
The ABA had fought a good fight with the older more established NBA battling for players like high stakes pick-up basketball but its run had ended. The two leagues completed a merger with the NBA taking in four of the former ABA teams including Erving's New York Nets.
However, the New York Knicks demanded the Nets pay a $3 million fee for interfering with their territorial rights. The cash strapped Nets had already paid league entrance fees and faced with meeting Erving's contract demands offered him to the Knicks in lieu of the territorial rights payment. But inexplicably the Knicks rejected that deal.
The 76ers, however, paid that $3 million to the Nets to settle the Knicks' demand and signed Erving to a $3 million dollar contract. In essence, Doc was the real six million dollar man. But the deal was not consummated until days before the season as evidenced by the Sports Illustrated cover of its pro basketball edition with Dave Cowens of the Boston Celtics with Erving still in his Nets' uniform. And Erving is nowhere to be seen on the 76ers' 1976-77 media guide.
Erving in just in his fifth year of pro ball was joining a youthful team. The season before his arrival was also the last for aging vets Billy "Kangaroo Kid"Cunningham and Wali Jones who to the younger players may have seemed like a dying breed of saber-tooth tigers from the Jurassic period when the team won its last title in 1967. Also, Fred "Mad Dog" Carter, the lone holdover from the nine win team would not finish '76-77 the season with the 76ers. (Cunningham and Jones missed that nine win season playing in the ABA and Milwaukee respectively before returning to the 76ers to finish their careers).
So, the oldest player on the team was six-year vet Steve Mix who was acquired from the Detroit Pistons prior to the 1973-74 season. Mix could do a lot despite limited mobility with his smooth left-hand jumper making his game as efficient as a small apartment.
Also drafted in 1973, the same year as Collins and McGinnis, were Harvey Catchings and Caldwell Jones. Catchings, a defensive-minded player, was a back-up center who did not play due to an injury until a year later in the 1974-75 season. And starting center Jones from Albany State did not arrive until the 1976-77 season after playing in the ABA where he averaged a double-double. He was 6-11 whose long legs and arms when stretched atop his head gave him the appearance of a big #11 matching his uniform number.
Then in the 1975 NBA Draft, the 76ers selected three players with big egos and sometimes the game to match.
Right out of a Florida everglades high school via the Planet Lovetron, Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins was a colorful giant-child who had a quip for any occasion and name for every dunk.
Here are a few of his offerings:
The get out the wayin', back-door swayin', game delayin', if you ain't groovin' you best get movin' dunk'.
The Chocolate Thunder flyin', glass flyin', Robizine cryin', parents cryin', babies cryin', glass still flyin', rump roasting, bun toasting, thank you wham ma'am I am' jam.
The left-handed spine-chiller supreme.
The turbo sexophonic delight.
Almost as free of a spirit was Brooklyn-bred Lloyd Free. The bow-legged Free was the back-up point guard with a rainbow jump shot. Then there was native son Joe "Jellybean" Bryant from LaSalle.
And new to the team along with Erving was four-year vet and starting guard Henry Bibby who won a title with the New York Knicks as a rookie in 1973 and rookie draftees Brooklyn boy Mike Dunleavy from the University of South Carolina and Terry Furlow out of Michigan State.

Sometimes carrying around an external hard disk can be a pain for backups. IBackup gives you an online disk where you can save your files and, more importantly, you can use it anywhere.
System requirements
- Operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS (iPhone)
- Cost: Varies depending on level of service; base price $9.95/month
- More info: http://IBackup.com
Who's it for?
IBackup is for anyone who wants peace of mind that their data is safe and who desires easy automatic backups without relying on extra equipment or complex software.
What problem does it solve?
IBackup eliminates the need to use burnable discs or external hard drives for backing up your computer. Those solutions are susceptible to bit-rot, physical damage, or theft.
Standout features
- Easy to use: There's nothing to it. Just log in to the IBackup app with your credentials, select your drives and directories, and press the Backup button. It's really that simple.
- Supports the iPhone too: IBackup also supports iOS devices and can allow for backups over your WiFi or 3G connections with the same level of ease as the desktop version. IBackup can serve as a nice secondary alternative to iCloud by Apple.
- Supports differential backups: If you simply change a file here and there and nothing more, IBackup will automatically note the changes and only back up those files instead of doing the whole drive.
- Backup options for servers: In addition to backing up your local machine, IBackup can also connect to any SQL, MS Exchange, SharePoint, and Oracle server you might have and back those up as well with relative ease.
What's wrong?
- Slow backup navigation: Using the Backup explorer can be painfully slow over most Internet connections. I have experienced up to ten seconds of lag opening individual directories on the backup volume as IBackup scanned for files. There should be a mode to cache the directory listing locally.
- The UI has weird glitches: Occasionally, the main window will not draw correctly on the screen, warranting an app restart to get the window elements to refresh properly.
- Extra plugins system is unnecessary: Backing up any special servers using the special Backup-Restore menu will require the installation of additional advanced plugins. If they are offered for free, why not simply bundle them with the main application?
Competitive products
The bottom line
For a backup system that will cover all the basics handily, IBackup might just fit the bill. It's easy to configure and will give you the peace of mind you desire for all your data safety needs.

Special equipment: Panettone molds (straight-walled paper cake pans), or several empty coffee tins
The repeated risings add extra flavor and moist texture. This is similar to Panettone but I discovered it in Lugano, an Italian part of Switzerland on Lake Lugano. We stayed in Gandria where there are no cars so we took boats everyday and walked wherever we needed to go. We went to a bakery called Munger's in Lungano and sampled their Kirsch filled Amereti Cookies that have bottoms dipped in chocolate, Rhubarb tart and this Triestine bread, which was $18.00 but worth it! It comes originally from the town of Triest in Switzerland (I believe) and uses candied orange peel and citron peel plus sugared almonds instead of Panettone's traditional golden raisins. It lasts for days, staying moist and delicious and it's wonderful toasted as well. We bought one on our honeymoon and noshed on it in our hotel room for almost week, bringing hunks of it down to breakfast in the morning to have with the best milky cafe con leche ever. It even made it back to Chicago for us to snack on while we reminisced about our fabulous trip.
To make the Biga: In a mixer with a dough hook, dissolve the yeast with warm water; then add the sugar and let rest 5 minutes. Add the flour and mix on low until smooth. Cover and let rise until it triples in bulk.
To make the Dough¿1st Stage: In a small cup, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit 5 minutes. Add it to the biga and mix with the dough hook. Add the yolks, sugar and 1 1/3 cups flour and mix 5 minutes on medium speed until shiny and smooth. Cover and put in a warm spot (70 degrees F) and let rise again until it triples in bulk.
After it has tripled, make begin the 2nd Stage: Add the 3 1/2 cups flour, honey, half the butter, 1/3 cup of the sugar, the 9 yolks, and the milk. Knead with the dough hook on medium speed, add the remaining sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Knead 5 more minutes.
With the mixer running, add 10 tablespoons butter, one tablespoon at a time. The dough should look smooth and shiny and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Place it on a work surface and schmear it with the remaining tablespoon of butter and add the orange peel and citron and knead by hand until blended. Shape into a ball and place in a covered bowl and let double in bulk.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface and divide into 2 balls. Place the chopped almonds on a surface and roll the balls in them to coat well; then roll the balls in powdered sugar to coat heavily.
Place each ball in a buttered panettone mold (straight walled paper cake pan). Let rise covered for 1 hour or until it springs back when poked and risen past the rim. Sprinkle well with powdered sugar again.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. To cool, stick 2 skewers through the base of the paper mold and suspend the bread upside down by resting the skewers on 2 containers which are taller (higher) than the bread.

Action wraps up at Lincoln Rodeo Arena
By: Jim Linsdau News Messenger Sports Editor
JV, varsity prepare for state
The proverbial curtain came down on the California High School Rodeo Association District 3 regular season last weekend as the varsity held its last day of events. All Around cowboy and cowgirl went to Clayton Brum from Galt High School and Cheyanne Carpenter of Lodi. The two will now join their fellow competitors in preparing for the California State Finals in Bishop June 11-16. Carpenter was in a close race with District 3?s Katie Rice for the All Around honor but came through with grace and style. ?It feels great. I mean it was a horse race until the end. Katie and I were really neck and neck all year. It was worth everything we put into it,? said Carpenter, a junior who also won the title last year. ?Katie, she does five events and I do six and she excels in her events so much more than I do. I try to stay strong and keep up with her but she?s just amazing. We pushed each other hard all year and that?s what made it a fun competition.? Carpenter closed by thanking her parents and all those at District 3 who have been so helpful to her. She said she looks forward to next year and making All Around three years in row. Brum, a sophomore, not only won All Around last year, but also won it when competing at the junior varsity level. Brum also does five events eschewing only bareback riding and steer wrestling. Brum qualified for state in all of his events but said he doesn?t plan to compete in cutting. ?I?m not going to enter state in the cutting just because I don?t have a horse that?s good enough for it to place,? Brum said. ?There?s no reason to do it and I?ve already got enough events as it is.? Brum won the bull riding competition at the Challenge of Champions and placed fifth in calf roping. He said he could also do well in the saddleback bronc riding because that event is just a matter of staying on. The CHSRA JV Nationals will be held in Gallup, NM, June 24-30. The varsity nationals are scheduled for July 15-21 in Rock Springs, Wyo. California High School Rodeo Association District 3 Thundering Three Graduating Seniors C.J.

NASHVILLE – Adnan Hodzic scored 19 points and Brian Wright added 12 for the Lipscomb University Bisons in a 76-68 loss to Stetson University Monday evening in Allen Arena.
Stetson opened the game on a 10-0 run. The Bisons didn't post their first points until Brian Wright connected on a jumper at 16:47.
Down 15-5 at 14:23, Adnan Hodzic nailed a jumper in the paint to start a 10-2 run to close the gap to 17-15.
Lipscomb was unable to sustain the momentum allowing Stetson to go on a 17-0 run to go up 32-15.
The Bisons turned around and responded with a 17-4 run to go into the half. Stetson led 36-32 at half.
Lipscomb opened the second half on an 8-2 run to go up 41-37 with 16:28 left.
Lipscomb knotted it at 37 at 17:55 on a layup by Hodzic.
The Bisons took their first lead of the night on the next possession with a layup by Brandon Brown.
Stetson steadily game back extending their lead to nine with 7:59 left after Hodzic found himself on the bench with four fouls.
Lipscomb started a run back with a three-pointer by Michael Teller with 5:38 left to close Stetson's lead to 60-54.
Michael Lusk added an and-one on the next possession to bring the Bisons within one.
But that was the closest the Bisons would come.
Lipscomb only scored three points from 5:03 to 1:10 as Stetson went up 69-62.
Sophomore Josh Slater delivered a strong performance with nine points, six rebounds, and six assists.
Lipscomb shot 24-of-49 for 49 percent. Stetson was 25-of-63 for 39.7 percent.

Bill Charlap
Though his debut on record occurred only eight years prior to Stardust, pianist Bill Charlap has become well known for his lush, poignant reading of the standards. On his second date for Blue Note, Charlap and his rhythm section lovingly re-create 11 songs by songster Hoagy Carmichael, and are joined by some truly big talents. Tony Bennett joins in on a spare arrangement of "I Get Along Without You Very Well," Shirley Horn graces an exceptional "Stardust" (perhaps Carmichael's best-known ballad), and guitarist Jim Hall's robust, muted tone is featured on "Two Sleepy People." However, tenor saxophonist Frank Wess damn near steals the show with his warm, languid playing on "Rockin' Chair" and "Blue Orchids."


text: With Mount St. Joseph's successful outcome in a league game at Nazareth Academy last Thursday evening, John Miller (standing, fourth from left) recorded his 200th win as head coach of the Magic. Miller had already been a well known head coach in boys' high school basketball and women's college basketball when he took the reigns of the Mount program in the 2006-2007 season, and he led the Magic to the PIAA Class AAA state championship the following year. Thursday's 57-30 victory gave Miller's current crop of Mounties an overall record of 13-1 and – thanks to a St. Basil loss to Gwynedd Mercy over the weekend – gave them sole possession of first place in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies.

Stepping off of the 7 train at 74th Street and walking through one of the more culturally diverse regions of Jackson Heights, or as DiStefano calls it, "Himalayan Heights," the Long Island native confidently walks in and out of deceptively barren storefronts, many of which are former homes to flip-phone flea markets and convenience stores, in search of culinary gold.
"Jackson Heights is what really first inspired me to start writing about food and exploring food in Queens," DiStefano said. "There's just so much going on here."
Aside from a growing Tibetan population, the corridor is also home to a wide variety of deep-seeded roots in India and Columbia.
"It's a real tapestry of cultures and experiences," he said. "You can walk around this neighborhood and see Tibetan monks and Sikhs walking down the same streets."
DiStefano has made a living out of his explorations, hosting food tours through neighborhoods like Flushing, Elmhurst, Woodside and Corona, as well as documenting his tales at chopsticksandmarrow.com.
In his trip across Jackson Heights, where he often takes groups of six to 10 enthusiastic foodie tourists on four-hour tours at $75 a pop, DiStefano visits hidden restaurants like Bombay Chat (73-19 37th Rd.), a Himalayan snack bar meshed with a classic Eastern-themed convenience shop.
Other stops include Lhasa Fast Food (37-50 74th St.), tucked away in the back of an abandoned video rental store and home to some of the region's finest beef momo dumplings, and Nepalese restaurant Dhaulaghiri Kitchen (37-38 72nd St.), with its goat sukuti (jerky), fiery radish pickles and tsel roti, which is something similar to a rice-infused donut.
"I've been immersed in this for quite some time," he said. "This came naturally to me, but it's sort of a natural extension to go from taking friends to turning other people on to something like this."
In the past, DiStefano has written for Edible Queens, Food Republic and the New York Times, and is currently working on a book of culinary culture along the 7 train, also a trip that he takes every so often with tour groups.
"I think it's valuable to have a guide, but I also think that there are a lot of young open-minded eaters out there," he said. "Just don't be discouraged."

After a 25-day hunger strike by Attawapiskat chief Teresa Spence, First Nation leaders will meet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Jan. 11. Spence began fasting to protest a budget proposal that weakens native land rights and environmental safeguards. BBC reports:
On Friday, Mr. Harper released a statement which cited his January 2012 meeting with First Nations leaders and said he would meet with chiefs "in this spirit of ongoing dialogue."
Mr. Harper said the "working meeting" would focus on "the treaty relationship and aboriginal rights and economic development."
While the Attawapiskat leader has continued her fast, First Nations protesters and others have rallied around her, as well as Canadian indigenous rights movement Idle No More, in protest on a range of issues.

ProfDru: Howdy Gang
Statustray: Hey there ProfDru.

ProfDru: Angela in da house!!!
Daviss: hello ProfDru
AYWalton: how are you this afternoon, ProfDru?
ProfDru: I'm ok; trying to resist taking a nap. lol I just played with the voice recognition software on my computer--where you can speak to the computer and it types what you say.
AYWalton: Statustray what are you working on with your own projects.
ProfDru: Dictated a 1971 letter written to my grandmother by her sister.
alt: WOW ProfDru, we're finally there when computers will do what we say, huh?
AYWalton: sounds like a neat program. did you purchase it or download it recently ProfDru?
ProfDru: This technology has been at least since the late 1990s.
alt: really!!!!!
ProfDru: I used the free one with windows, but I do have one which I purchased some time ago.
Selma: Is it built into everyone's computer?
Statustray: AYWalton: Nothing in particular to be honest. I did recently learn that my great-great-great grandmother had siblings, and tracked one of her brothers from MS to TX.
alt: but not available for everyday 'chumps' like me, huh?
AYWalton: Yes I am aware that the technology exists I used to see ads for it on AOL years ago, but never looked at it.
ProfDru: It should be there, Selma, but if not it can be downloaded.
AYWalton: oh yes, you have to go after those collateral ancestors as well, Statustray.
ProfDru: It is speech recognition software.
Statustray: that's so very true AYWalton.
AYWalton: so there is a free one in every computer ProfDru?
kim: oh yes I've heard of it
ProfDru: yep
Statustray: ProfDru: I used to use this package called Dragon Dictate many years ago and it was so nice and slick. It had 'dictation' mode, and also 'command' mode. Now I have the technology by Dragon Dictate on my android phone too ;-)
Daviss: Kim here is the link to use. click on afrigeneas and in the search line put in Samuels. It will bring up all of them http://www.afrigeneas.com/search.html
kim: thanks so much
ProfDru: yes, Dragon is a great software package.
Statustray: it may be called Dragon Naturally Speaking (or something similar) now. It has changed its name a couple of times.
Daviss: what is the title listed on the puter Dru? I cant seem to find it
ProfDru: I'
AYWalton: did someone just leave the room? I heard the chime.
Daviss: looks like kim did the daviss lol

Thornton Utz must have really enjoyed working for Cosmopolitan magazine art director, Robert C. Atherton. He would have been the ideal client for an artist described as "a man who made his own rules, challenged the usual, and defied the ordinary".
Atherton usually handed out multi-image assignments for Cosmo's fiction pieces. Three from a series of five done by Utz for the August 1955 issue are shown below. You've seen several others this week, and they show how Thornton Utz used these opportunities to try many variations of style.
In the November 1957 American Artist article I've been referencing this week, author Ernest W. Watson writes, "He is always doing the unexpected in his painting and nothing daunts him - from employing the assistance of the ceiling-cleaning machine of New York's Grand Central Station to get a down-shot for a Saturday Evening Post cover, to enlisting the aid of the St. Augustine, Florida, Fire Department's hook and ladder for a motel shot to use for another cover."
Watson continues, "Friendly in manner, this smiling, six-foot-three illustrator loves his way of life and seems to enjoy everyone."
"Thornon does his best work from 5:00 to 9:00 A.M. when interruptions are few. After that the telephone starts ringing."
"He's an ardent family man and spends as much time as he can with his wife, Louise, and children, Wendy, sixteen, Merrily, thirteen, and David, eight. There are few places in this world to which his work hasn't taken him, and his photographic collection ... includes such spots as Rome, Paris, Bangkok, and Athens."
"When you live in Florida," says Utz, "your perspective is free of trend influences. This doesn't make a hillbilly of you. I belong to the Society of Illustrators, the Museum of Modern Art, and I subscribe to the best national magazines."
"Honestly, I think the best thing about living and working here is that it allows you to see the forest as well as the trees."

A covered bridge played a supporting role in one of Hollywood's most intense and fleeting love stories: The Bridges of Madison County, which still inspires visitors to seek out Iowa's Roseman Covered Bridge: it ranks higher on TripAdvisor than John Wayne's nearby birthplace.
Embodying a simpler time in American life, wooden covered bridges like Roseman began springing up across the country in the early 1800s. You'll find them in state and national parks, amid the rolling hills of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, and in popular leaf-peeping corners of New England.
The structures are often referred to as "kissing bridges," since the enclosed domes provide lovers with just the right amount of privacy. Yet it was practicality that inspired their construction. Covered bridges made it possible to cross rivers, lakes, and valleys with horse-drawn carriages (often agitated by rushing water) and, before the advent of air-conditioning, they provided local residents a cool break from summer heat.
Only about 10 percent of covered bridges have stood the test of time, among them, Wawona Covered Bridge in Yosemite National Park and Maine's Artist's Bridge—one of the state's most photographed and painted sites. It's worth taking the scenic route to find them.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Investigators have found a single feather and evidence of "soft-body impact damage" on the US Airways jetliner that was ditched in the Hudson River near Manhattan last week.
A New York Police boat in the Hudson waters Wednesday where divers found one of the plane's engines.
That find reinforces the pilot's report that the plane was downed by a flock of birds.
The feather, found on a flap track on the wing, is being sent to bird identification experts at the Smithsonian, the National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday.
Samples of what appears to be organic material found in the right engine and on the wings and fuselage have been sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Shortly after Flight 1549 took off Thursday, pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger, 58, reported his aircraft had struck birds, disabling both engines.
"To this point we have not found anything that has contradicted the pilot's report," NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Wednesday.
In a preliminary report, the NTSB said the fan blades of the right jet engine revealed evidence of soft-body impact damage. Some components of the engine were fractured and numerous internal components were either missing or damaged, it said.
The plane's left engine, which detached from the plane, evidently upon impact with the water, was found Wednesday in about 50 feet of water, and recovery is expected sometime Thursday, the NTSB said.
The board also confirmed the right engine experienced a surge during a flight on January 13, and subsequent repairs included the replacement of a temperature probe. Investigators said they are examining applicable maintenance records and procedures.
They are also interviewing passengers to learn more about the events during the flight and their subsequent evacuation and rescue.
The divers who found the plane's left engine Wednesday reported the engine is in one piece, said New Jersey State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones. The divers were working from a state police boat.
The engine will be removed "in a matter of days" by the Army Corps of Engineers or a federal contractor, Jones said.
The plane's fuselage was lifted out of the river over the weekend. Authorities said the cockpit and flight data recorders were recovered in excellent condition and information from both recorders was consistent with previous reports of the plane hitting a flock of birds before losing power in both engines.
All 155 people on the plane survived, and Sullenberger has been hailed as a hero.
On Sunday, the National Transportation Safety Board said the plane's cockpit voice recorder captured sounds of loud thumps seconds after the pilot and first officer commented on a nearby flock of birds. The thumps are followed by a "rapid decrease in engine sounds," said NTSB board member Kitty Higgins. She said the flight data recorder indicated "both engines lost power simultaneously" when the plane was at 3,200 feet -- some 90 seconds after takeoff.
On the tape, Sullenberger is heard issuing a "mayday" call and telling air traffic controllers the flight had lost power in both engines, Higgins said.
In addition to Sullenberger, officials, passengers and others have lauded First Officer Jeffrey B. Skiles, 49, as well as rescuers, who acted quickly to minimize passengers' injuries in below-freezing temperature and frigid water. Neither Sullenberger nor Skiles have spoken publicly about the incident.
The Airbus A320 was lifted out of the water and placed on a barge Sunday. After its fuel tanks were drained, the plane was taken by barge across the river to a dock in Jersey City, New Jersey, where investigators planned to begin their work on the aircraft.
Higgins said Sunday the left engine apparently fell off on impact, and divers had been unable to reach it on the river bottom because of icy conditions.
The NTSB at one point said both engines were on the river bottom, but Saturday Higgins said the right engine was still attached to the aircraft. Divers did not see it earlier because of low visibility in the icy water, she said.
CNN's Alona Rivord contributed to this report.

When the Sears Wishbook arrived on Helen Cleary-Escott's doorstep last week, she flipped through with the usual excitement for the book that signals the early start of the holiday shopping season in Canada.
She was less excited to see the pages of Playboy items featured amid Star Wars and Hello Kitty products.
Cleary-Escott, who writes a blog called, I Am Funny Like That!, and is the mother of a 12-year-old daughter, said she was upset to see the placement of the products in the iconic catalogue and promptly let her readers know.
"Why are Playboy products being advertised in the Christmas toy section?" the St. John's, N.L., mom wrote in a post Monday. "And not just the usual Playboy stuff. This stuff is in bright girly pink and white."
Playboy's controversial line aimed at younger buyers has caused furor in other parts of the world. In Australia, fashion jewelry retailer Diva, popular with young girls, was criticized for carrying inexpensive Playboy-brand pendants next to its Winnie the Pooh charm bracelets and Disney Princess pendants. A consumer advocacy group in the U.K. has also lobbied stores to drop their links to the porn company.
In Canada, a Wishbook page of Playboy products, following pages of superhero items, features a photo of a young teen girl sporting a Playboy handbag.
Cleary-Escott says she has nothing against Playboy, but she worries what kind of message it sends to girls to deck them out in the universally recognized logo of a skin mag.
"I think it's brilliant marketing by Playboy – this is a logo generation and they'll see a Playboy bag for only $40 and that puts it within reach," she told QMI Agency Monday. "But someone at the catalogue needs a slap on the wrist … This should be in the adult section."
She feels "betrayed" by Sears, whose Wish Book is a holiday tradition for many.
Vincent Power, the vice-president of corporate affairs and communications at Sears Canada Inc., said in an e-mail that Sears has carried Playboy products for the past few years and "arguably it is becoming more mainstream as time passes."
He said Sears did not intend to be offensive to readers, but that "not all of the products we carry are always going to be pleasing to everyone."
But Cleary-Escott said the company better make some changes, or next year's Wishbook will join this year's in the recycling bin.
"You threw a men's magazine into the toy pile when I wasn't looking," she wrote on her blog, addressing Sears. "You are the Grinch that stole."

does anybody have any info about the first track on side B of the "Niney the Observer Presents Soul Syndicate - Dub Classics" LP?
http://www.discogs.com/Soul-Syndicate-N ... ase/864545
it's titled, in a rather vague (and most probably apocryphal) way, "The King & The Observer In Dub".
i love its melody, so i was wondering if it was based on any known riddim and/or there was any vocal version around.
thanks in advance!!!
happy 2014 to everybody!!!

Big Name Political Figures Transformed Into Drag Queens
Just in time for the kickoff of a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race, a crop of some of modern history's biggest political figures have been turned up in drag. Artist Saint Hoax has unveiled the controversial "War Drags You Out" series featuring drag alter-egos for some of the world's most powerful men.
The recipe for an iconic queen:
1- Flamboyant name
2- Fierce persona
3- Defining outfits
4- Personalized hairdo
6- One hell of a PR team
I instantly realized that It takes that same exact effort to make a leader.
A rush of images containing Hitler's mustache, Bin laden's headgear, Obama's campaigns, Saddam's narcisism crossed through my mind. It got me thinking that behind every "great" man, there's a queen.
Just like drag queens, political leaders are expected to entertain, perform and occasionally lip-sync a public speech. But unlike drag queens, the fame hungry leaders don't know when to take their costumes off.
Saint Hoax's controversial images include:
Hitleria Hysteria
Madame O' Sane
Vladdy Pushin
Baricka O'Bisha
Ossie B
Georgia Buchette
Queen Abby
The last image above, of King Abdallah of Saudia Arabia, has brought Saint Hoax the most vocal outrage thus far, BuzzFeed points out.
"Shame to you who post the picture, just want to say those who are trying to disgrace by posting this kind of unacceptable picture about King Abdullah, you should know that king abdullah is a model leader to the arab world," one Facebook user said.
What do you think of Saint Hoax's series?
I have great joy in my heart as I'm writing this testimony about the great man called Dr.Zabaza, When my lover left me, I thought i will not be able to get her back after all she has put me through, but I am so happy that after the interference of Dr.Zabaza, I was able to get my lover back within 48 hours. And I can proudly say that who ever need help in getting his lover back should contact Dr.Zabaza on these contact details below; +2348182620374 or email@example.com for quicker response of what I have just witness.

Alien Arena: Tactical is a completely new mode of play that is objective oriented, slower paced, and requires precise teamwork in order to defeat the opposing team.
Tactical pits Aliens vs Humans in a struggle to disable the enemy base by disabling their defense systems, destroying several key components and sub-components. Each team consists of three different player classes, each with a different ability that interacts with other classes. Working together a team can destroy their enemy much faster than if not.
The Alpha Demo contains a single map, Tac-Extermination, and serves as a proving ground for the evolution of this new game. Some of the artwork is placeholder, as this is an Alpha, and several other game play elements regarding physics and abilities are not yet implemented.

What Will It Take To Get Over the Hurdle?
Let's list a few names, shall we?
- Barry Switzer ("We did it! We did it! We did it" … no Jimmy Johnson did it Barry!)
- Chan Gailey
- Dave Campo (as head coach)
- Norv Turner (we let him go!)
- Bill Parcells (also let him go!)
- Terrell Owens (needed to go!)
- Mike Vanderjagt (couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!)
- Martín Gramática (don't ask!)
- Roy Williams (the receiver – sticker shock!)
- Zach Thomas (is this where old men come to die?)
- Pac-Man Jones (enough said!)
- Ryan Leaf (I should be shot for mentioning his name!)
- Vinny Testaverde (another Social Security player!)
- Drew (my grandmother could move in the pocket better) Bledsoe
- Sean Payton (only went on to win a Super Bowl with the Saints! Under who's mentoring? Yes, Bill Parcells!)
- Bobby Carpenter (how dare he wear number 54!)
- etc., etc., etc., (yes, we could all go on!)
Two of the best coaches, we let go (Parcells and Payton). Payton later went on to win a Super Bowl in New Orleans, while Jason Garrett relives his glorious payday and his Thanksgiving game against the Packers. "Just throw it high to Harper," he exclaimed after the game.
I am glad that we are not as piecemeal as we used to be! Those years between '96 and '06 reminded us the die-hards that the Cowboys are an every two-decade team.
In this writer's opinion, the team that takes the field in 2010 will be the best team since the '92 – '95 teams, IF, they can play as a team like the dynasty of the 90's did! We need one man to step up on offense (Romo, Austin, Barber?) and another to step up on defense (Ware, Newman, Ratliff, Brooking?) It needs to be someone to keep this team [as] a team – the coach sure can't do it! Let's see less of Jerry on the sidelines this year.
The time to win is now! Start 88! Draft him so high and then don't start him? Let Dez live up to that number! The pieces are there, let's just not hope for an end of season collapse that so many Dallas Cowboys fans have become accustomed to!

Freedom in the World
You are here
San Marino
San Marino
2012 Scores
Freedom Rating (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Civil Liberties (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
In 2011, the government canceled a referendum on joining the European Union (EU) in spite of popular support for becoming an EU member state. In a move to improve economic transparency, a law mandating greater cooperation with foreign governments that request financial information was adopted in July. In September, the government voted to establish a commission to fight organized crime.
Founded in the year 301, according to tradition, San Marino is considered the world's oldest existing republic and is one of the world's smallest states. The papacy recognized San Marino's independence in 1631, as did the Congress of Vienna in 1815. In 1862, Italy and San Marino signed a treaty of friendship and economic cooperation. Despite its dependence on Italy, from which it currently receives budget subsidies, San Marino maintains its own political institutions. Tourism and banking dominate the country's economy.
In June 2008, the left-wing governing coalition—consisting of the Party of Socialists and Democrats (PSD), the Popular Alliance of Democrats (AP), the United Left (SU), and the new Democrats of the Center party (DdC)—collapsed when the AP withdrew its delegates. The move forced the Great and General Council, San Marino's legislature, to call early elections for November. In that poll, the center-right Pact for San Marino coalition—composed of the San Marino Christian Democratic Party (PDCS), the AP, the Freedom List, and the Sammarinese Union of Moderates—won 54 percent of the vote and 35 of the 60 seats in the legislature, with 22 seats going to the PDCS.
In July 2011, San Marino furthered its efforts to shed its image as a financially corrupt country when the government voted in favor of a law that would require the republic to comply with foreign governments' requests for financial and banking information. The law would allow San Marino to offer information unilaterally, in compliance with Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development standards.
In March, the government canceled a referendum on joining the European Union (EU), despite popular support for accession. In June, the government chose to push for stronger adherence to EU standards without becoming a full-fledged EU member or giving the people the opportunity to vote in a referendum.
San Marino is an electoral democracy. The 60 members of the Great and General Council, the unicameral legislature, are elected every five years by proportional representation. Executive power rests with the 10-member Congress of State (cabinet), which is headed by two captains regent. As the joint heads of state, the captains regent are elected every six months by the Great and General Council from among its own members. Although there is no official prime minister, the secretary of state for foreign and political affairs is regarded as the head of government; Antonella Mularoni was elected to the post in December 2008. Under changes made to the electoral law in 2008, the winning coalition must capture a majority of 50 percent plus 1 and at least 30 of the 60 parliamentary seats.
The PDCS, the PSD, and the AP are the three dominant political groups in the country. There are several smaller groups, however, and majority governments are usually formed by a coalition of parties.
There are few problems with government corruption in the country, though financial corruption has led the government to continue exploring laws to provide greater financial transparency. In August 2010, San Marino became the 48th state to join the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO). In June 2011, GRECO sent a team to evaluate San Marino and released a report on its findings in December in which it made a number of recommendations on how San Marino could develop more effective anticorruption programs. In September, the government voted to establish an antimafia commission to combat organized crime; its first official meeting was held in November.
Freedoms of speech and of the press are guaranteed. There are several daily private newspapers, a state-run broadcast system for radio and television called RTV, and a private FM station, Radio Titiano. The Sammarinese have access to all Italian print media and certain Italian broadcast stations. Access to the internet is unrestricted.
Religious discrimination is prohibited by law. Roman Catholicism is the dominant, but not the state, religion. Academic freedom is respected.
Freedom of assembly is respected, and civic organizations are active. Workers are free to strike, organize trade unions, and bargain collectively, unless they work in military occupations. Approximately half of the country's workforce is unionized.
The judiciary is independent. Lower court judges are required to be noncitizens—generally Italians—to assure impartiality. The final court of review is the Council of Twelve, a group of judges chosen for six-year terms from among the members of the Great and General Council. Civilian authorities maintain effective control over the police and security forces, and the country's prison system generally meets international standards.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance has raised some concerns in the past about the status of foreigners in the country. San Marino has no formal asylum policy, and a foreigner must live in the country for 30 years to be eligible for citizenship. The European Convention on Nationality recommends that such residence requirements not exceed 10 years.
Women are given legal protections from violence and spousal abuse, and gender equality exists in the workplace and elsewhere. There are, however, slight differences in the way men and women can transmit citizenship to their children. Abortion is permitted only to save the life of the mother, though abortion laws in neighboring Italy are more liberal, and some women living in San Marino seek abortions there. Under a 2008 electoral law, no more than two-thirds of candidates from each party can be of the same gender. Nine women were elected to the Great and General Council in 2008, and two to the 10-member Congress of State.

The investigation of the $41,000 reported by Brinks officials as missing after company officials conducted an audit is now in the hands of the State Bureau of Investigation, a spokesman with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office said Friday.
The investigation of the $41,000 reported by Brinks officials as missing after company officials conducted an audit is now in the hands of the State Bureau of Investigation, a spokesman with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office said Friday.
Brinks filed a report with the sheriff's office Tuesday night that $41,000 was missing from the two-vehicle accident involving one of the company's trucks.
The accident was reported at 9:26 p.m. Monday.
A spokesman with Brinks said Wednesday morning he nor any other officials could comment on the missing money.
Sheriff David Grice said his office received the report from Brinks late Tuesday night. The sheriff previously said deputies did not know how much money spilled onto the highway as the sheriff's office relied on Brinks officials to report how much money was missing. The N.C. Highway Patrol, the agency that investigated the accident, reported Tuesday morning that all of the money had been recovered. Brinks officials discovered the missing money during an audit, the sheriff said.
The sheriff's office spokesman said the investigation was turned over to the SBI because so many first responders were at the scene of the accident. He referred all questions to the SBI.
Noelle Talley, a spokeswoman with the SBI, said the SBI began its investigation Thursday after the request came from Davidson County District Attorney Garry Frank. She said the SBI will investigate the "missing money" while the Highway Patrol investigates the accident. Once the SBI completes its investigation, it will turn its findings over to the district attorney, she said.
Friday morning, one of the two Brinks employees — 32-year-old Michael Gerringer of Winston-Salem — who was in the truck involved in the accident remained hospitalized. A spokeswoman with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem said Gerringer was in serious condition, and 23-year-old John Baldwin of Kernersville was discharged Wednesday. Gerringer, the driver of the Brinks truck, was transported by AirCare to the hospital and Baldwin by Davidson County EMS.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the Highway Patrol, said Tuesday that Gerringer was driving the Brinks truck in the right lane of U.S. 52 North near mile marker 95 when a Kia being driven by Mayda Brotons, 47, of Kernersville, changed lanes and struck the truck. She said the truck went off the road to the right, hit an embankment and overturned, at which time it spilled its money. Kearns said the Kia went off the road to the left and came to a stop in a median between the north and southbound lanes of U.S. 52.
Brotons was not transported after the accident, Kearns said. She was charged with improper lane change and an insurance/registration violation.
