Sure, right now it may seem like there is no way Governor Andrew Cuomo is going to lose his seat and not get elected for a second term, but that isn't stopping people out there from throwing their hat in the ring and trying to unseat him.
Probably the most well-known candidate given that he is running on the Republican line is GOP-er Rob Astorino, who is currently Westchester County Executive. He has been running an up-and-down campaign with a few missteps, but if he stands any chance of defeating Cuomo he is going to have to take some chances and really set himself apart from the current governor.
Although Monday, he might have crossed a line.
While discussing what he felt was Cuomo's overt influence on the supposedly independent anti-corruption Moreland Commission, Astorino compared the governor to a mafia boss.
"To suggest that he was suggesting to the commission members where they should go with an investigation is like a mafia boss coming forward and saying that he wants to make a suggestion, an offer you can't refuse," Astorino was quoted as saying. "That clearly is intimidation and that's what he and his staff did."
Astorino was immediately criticized by Italian-American community leaders and elected officials who seized on the misstep. Councilman Paul Vallone said the comments proved Astorino wasn't even fit to lead a parade, let alone New York State.
Astorino defended his comments, stating that he was merely referencing a line from the movie The Godfather, or as his spokesperson pointed out, "one of the most recited movies on the planet." (After Caddyshack, of course.)
Then there is the improbably named Zephyr Teachout, a constitutional law professor who is challenging Cuomo in the Democratic Primary. Teachout is going to have a hard time overcoming party politics, but she seems intelligent and up on the issues, so she could be a real pain for Cuomo if he agrees to a debate in advance of the primary.
An interesting thing about the Teachout campaign is that she has a small group of young business casual hecklers who have been following her around at public events and mocking her while hiding their faces behind signs. Business Insider had a good report on the mysterious group, and then a Cuomo spokesperson admitted that the 20-somethings were volunteers on the Cuomo campaign.
We think that indicates that Cuomo is at least a little bit worried about the Teachout campaign. Although, one thing we've learned covering New York politics is that sitting elected officials sometimes have big heads and sensitive egos. You could be the most fringe candidate with absolutely no chance of winning and they would still resort to tactics like smearing your campaign and hiring lawyers to challenge your ballot petitions.
Hey, speaking of fringe candidates, have you heard of Randy Credico. He is apparently also trying to get on the ballot for the Democratic Primary this year. We heard about him because one of our newshounds attending the funeral for Eric Garner last week bumped into him outside.
He has dubbed himself the "most progressive candidate since Franklin D. Roosevelt," and he has a pretty liberal platform without many details. Do you want Medicare for all, free tuition to all CUNY and SUNY schools, lower subway fares, a minimum wage of $15, and all that while being able to legally smoke pot? Then vote Randy!

Pirate Bay defendant Peter Sunde Kolmissoppi is having a rough week. As if the looming threat of a year in jail and a large fine weren't enough to give anyone a permanent case of "the Mondays," Kolmisoppi had his bag stolen at a conference. Luckily, he got it back. "Money was still there, my PC was still there," he tweeted. "Things missing: Underwear and a tshirt. Pervert thief? Fun!"
Good thing the money came back, too, since Kolmisoppi and his merry band now find themselves the recipients of debt collection letters from the wonderfully named Kronofogdemyndigheten. This government agency operates like a national cash collector, grabbing not just money owed the government, but also helping private citizens and businesses collect money owed to them.
Kronofogdemyndigheten now wants about half the total fine owed from The Pirate Bay trial, and it plans to freeze the bank accounts of the defendants until it gets paid. Not that this worries the saucy pirates; Kolmisoppi put his letter through the shredder as soon as he got it.
The Pirate Bay defendants have always claimed to have no money, with most of the dough TPB brings in being poured into website expenses and hardware upgrades. The fourth defendant, crisp bread heir Carl Lundstr�m, may end up paying far more than his fair share, since the fine was applied jointly to all four defendants.
The attempt to collect the fine comes even as the case is being appealed and new questions have surfaced about the judge's involvement with a pair of pro-copyright societies. The issue of the judge's possible bias has been big news in Sweden, where newspapers have verified (English account) that judge Tomas Norstr�m belongs to lobby groups that are explicitly pro-copyright and pro-rightsholder.
A higher Swedish court is currently considering whether the judge's affiliations are grounds for a retrial—which, unlike an appeal, would restart the entire "spectrial" from the beginning. The thought of going through so much weirdness again is almost too wonderfully horrible to contemplate, but one suspects that the thought of throwing the Swedish justice system into an uproar (again) is one that The Pirate Bay admins enjoy nearly as much as BitTorrent.

It's a smart thought to consider buys from a structure viewpoint as configuration impacts how we will feel while cooperating with that object.
Metal beds, in any case, stay predominant in specific respects. A well-made metal bed will most likely be more grounded and more tough than a wooden bed in a similar value go. Mass delivered metal beds still component solid joints, though numerous wooden beds have joints of faulty quality. From an unadulterated structure point of view, metal additionally offers more potential outcomes as far as what should be possible with the bed outline. This is particularly articulated in contemporary space bed structures, but at the same time is valid for loft plans and even stage bed structures to an extensive degree. Indeed, even the individuals who are more pulled in to customary or antique styles may wish to get a metal bed made of bronze or including fashioned iron enhancements. From an absolute down to earth the point of view, metal beds and specifically metal lofts might be favored by guardians with numerous or exceptionally unruly children. There's less stress over breakage that way!

Current bed structures do will in general contrast incredibly from more seasoned bed plans, and numerous individuals will fall into one camp or the other. Regardless of whether wood or metal, the most recent structures will in general be moderate and highlight clean lines and basic frameworks. Progressively conventional beds may likewise be moderately straightforward, yet some can be out and out bombastic.
For the vast majority, a wooden bed configuration will be what they end up picking. Many don't significantly consider getting a metal bed, for example. Wood absolutely is the better decision for a great many people, as it is in reality less vitality escalated to reap wood than to make metal, as a rule. It is likewise more agreeable to contact than metal and has a level of give that stiffer metal does not.
Picking from the wide scope of beds may not be simple for the individual who is new to the distinctive styles and highlights accessible available. Numerous furnishings stores appear to convey supply of dominatingly conventional structures, and for the individuals who aren't aficionados of these kinds of beds, it tends to be difficult to realize where to turn.

PSU to host 6th annual Block Kids contest
Thursday, January 24, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Officials in the PSU College of Technology may get a look at some future students this weekend.
The sixth annual Block Kids event will take place at noon on Saturday, Jan. 26, in room S102 of the PSU Kansas Technology Center. Free and open to the first 100 students in grades first through sixth, the event challenges kids to build, in one hour, a construction-industry-related project using building blocks.
Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in each class. An overall prize also will be awarded. Dennis Audo, assistant professor in the School of Construction, said each prize will relate to the construction industry.
"This is a fun event for the kids, and it just keeps getting more popular by the year," Audo said. "We want to expose the kids to the field of construction and have a good time while we're at it. The prizes will include things like age-appropriate tools and toolboxes."
The event is sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction and the PSU School of Construction.

First quarterly report launched during Sunshine Week.
The Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday launched the first in a promised pattern of quarterly online updates on how agencies are faring in pursuit of the 14 cross-agency priority goals first outlined in President Obama's fiscal 2013 budget.
The website performance.gov now includes a progress update on the 14 goals as well as 103 agency priority goals set in compliance with the 2010 Government Performance and Results Modernization Act. "These goals are set in areas where the administration aims to achieve accelerated performance improvement through focused senior leadership attention," wrote Shelley Metzenbaum OMB associate director for performance and personnel management, in a blogpost. The quarterly updates will provide "a window into the administration's efforts to make the government work smarter, better, and more efficiently."
Examples of Cross-Agency Goals include the Energy and Housing and Urban Development departments teaming up to help low-income families reduce energy bills by making their homes more energy-efficient. In 2009, the two agencies set a joint priority goal of enabling cost-effective energy retrofits or energy efficient new construction of a total of 1.2 million housing units from fiscal 2010 and 2013. "DoE and HUD achieved this goal ahead of schedule, having completed retrofits of over 1.2 million homes by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, saving these households hundreds of dollars each year in heating, cooling, and electricity costs," Metzenbaum wrote.
Multiple agencies are pitching in to boost economic competitiveness by hitting a goal of providing 4G wireless broadband coverage for 98 percent of Americans by 2016. As of June 2012, 81 percent of Americans have access to advanced wireless broadband and the ability to enjoy minimum download speeds of at least 6 megabits per second, up from 36 percent in mid-2010. When wired connections are included, the availability of 4G or comparable broadband speeds jumps to almost 96 percent of the population, the website reports.
Within agencies, the Interior Department showed progress toward a goal of increasing production of clean energy on public lands. It set a goal that by Sept. 30, 2013, it will increase the approved capacity for renewable energy (solar, wind, and geothermal) on or affecting public lands by at least 11,000 Megawatts relative to 2009 levels. "By the end of 2012, it was fast approaching its goal, having approved 10,933 Megawatts, enough to power millions of homes," Metzenbaum wrote.
The Treasury Department reported progress on its bid to increase electronic transactions to improve service, prevent fraud, and reduce costs. The department has cut the number of paper claims from a high of 195.5 million in 2007 to 41 million in 2012. The shift to electronic tax return filing with the Internal Revenue Service is ahead of schedule, reaching 80 percent in 2012, the website reports.
Finally, the U.S. Agency for International Development has documented progress on reducing the global mortality rate for children under five. "Its efforts have contributed to an estimated reduction of 2 deaths per 1,000 live births across USAID-assisted countries (from an estimated 73 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2011 to an estimated 71 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2012)," Metzenbaum wrote.

"During a meeting of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Toyota president Akio Toyoda offered a "Chapeau!" to his fellow CEOs by listing his favorite cars from other makers. He listed just one vehicle from five makers represented on the board, in alphabetical order: the Honda NSX, Isuzu Bellett, Mazda Cosmo, Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero in the U.S.) and Nissan Skyline.
Toyoda didn't give his reasons for choosing these car beyond each being "memorable." Even so, going through the list any car enthusiast knows the Honda (Acura in the States) NSX needs no introduction nor explanation. The Mitsubishi Pajero is probably as well known for it's off-road excellence as it is for its name change in Spanish-speaking lands due to the word "pajero" – all the more intriguing when it's apparently named after an Argentine cat, Leopardus pajeros. And although the "Skyline" moniker was made famous overseas by the GT-R, the Nissan Skyline that Toyoda references has a long history and is our Infiniti G.
The Mazda Cosmo (pictured) was an Italian-esque little coupe produced from 1967 to 1995, the first series production vehicle with a two-rotor rotary engine. The Isuzu Bellett was that firm's in-house replacement for the English Hillmans it was rebranding, the first Japanese car to get GT badging (it would also get a GT-R version), and it would cover just about every segment with sedan, coupe, station wagon and pickup truck variants."

There are so many reasons to love them. They're delicious. They're rich in history. They're filled with frosting.
What they are not, however, is the successor to King Cupcake's place in the popular dessert kingdom--regardless of what the New York Times says. Now, I realize that this is a powerful claim--but it's not just talk. To really become the next big thing, Whoopie Pies have some work to do. Let's lay it down:
Problem one: The Stupid Name. There's no delicate way to say it: Whoopie Pie is a stupid-sounding name. For me, "whoopie" conjures up goofy images of sexual reference on the Newlywed Show and cushions that make farting sounds. I don't know about you, but even adding "pie" after it doesn't serve to cancel out these associations or change them to "irresistible dessert".
Is there a solution? Well, changing the name. Easier said than done, as anyone who has tried to upgrade to a full name from a diminutive knows; however, may I humbly suggest a few new names, just to try on for size? Frosting sandwich? Sweetburger? Cakewich? They may not be perfect, but no worse than whoopie pie.
Problem two: the cute factor. Don't get me wrong--whoopie pies do have a certain visual charm. But they're kind of cute in the same way my pug is cute--a sort of ugly-cute. They are a little lopsided, and the ungarnished cakey bits aren't much to look at on their own, and the look is generally very homey. Not to say homey is a bad thing, but if they want to graduate to a dessert worthy of cult following and mentions in US Weekly, they're going to need a little work on their styling.
Is there a solution? Luckily, there are remedies. I thought it was very cute to add sprinkles, nuts or chocolate chips to the side, chipwich-style, as I saw at Seattle bakery Sweet on You; the delicate frosting piping shown in the New York Times article index photo (whoopie pies from Trois Pommes Patisserie in Park Slope) adds a pretty touch too. Also, playing with flavor (as Joy the Baker, Crumblycookie.net and Seattle coffee shop Javasti have done) can also be a very effective way to not only add to the deliciousness of the treats but also to add some stunning color contrasts which lend an air of sophistication.
Problem three: the size. They are, to put it delicately, huge. As much as it pains me to say it, the classic whoopie pie is often too huge for a single serving, which poses the eater with all sorts of awkwardness. Do you share with a friend? Do you save it for later? Either way there are obstacles--if you're sharing, you've got to first face the issue of whether or not you really want to share, in addition to the more practical matter of how to divide it, especially if you've taken it to go. If you've decided to save it for later, you're left carrying a somewhat delicate confection which can easily crush or ooze so that you lose precious frosting. This is a serious bummer.
Is there a solution? Mini whoopie pies. I first encountered these at the Baked: New Frontiers in Baking book party in Seattle, when they served mini versions of their insanely delicious pumpkin whoopie pies. At about 2.5 inches in diameter they were the perfect single-serving size, with a great frosting-to-cake ratio and no awkward "want to share?" moments.
Want more Whoopie? You can buy them online here and here; you can attend the Whoopie Pie festival in Lancaster, PA in September; you can read more about their history here.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is not monitoring phone calls of European citizens, no matter what its own slides and journalists say to the contrary.
That is the shorter version of testimony given by NSA chief General Keith Alexander during a hearing October 29 before the House Intelligence Committee, to determine potential changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
The House Intelligence Committee is headed by one of the most outspoken and enthusiastic cheerleaders for the surveillance state, Representative Mike Rogers (shown, R-Mich.). Rogers' rah-rah attitude about the government's massive accumulation of data on Americans (and now, apparently, citizens of many other countries) is notorious.
Earlier this month at a cybersecurity conference sponsored by the Washington Post, former NSA Director Michael Hayden made a crack about adding Edward Snowden's name to a kill list.
In a story from The Hill covering the conference, Brendan Sasso reported that after Hayden's tasteless joke:
The audience laughed, and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who was also on the panel, responded, "I can help you with that."
Let that sink in. A sitting member of Congress is bragging about having the power to add the name of an American citizen to a list of people targeted for assassination by the federal government. Today, it's Edward Snowden; tomorrow, who knows?
Rogers could not be keener on chucking in to help construct the Panopticon, placing all Americans and indeed all people around the globe under the never-blinking eye of the federal government.
In a July 2013 statement issued by Rogers and ranking committee member Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), Rogers called for a "robust dialogue" with regard to preserving the NSA's power to abridge fundamental civil liberties in the name of thwarting terrorist attacks. Rogers attacked what he called the "premature reactions" to the abuses revealed in Snowden's leaks.
During questioning at Tuesday's hearing, Rogers began by asking Alexander to comment on the reports published by several newspapers at home and abroad regarding slides leaked by Edward Snowden detailing the Boundless Informant program that seemed to point to the agency's surveillance of foreign citizens. The exchange hardly met the "robust dialogue" standard set out by Rogers in his joint statement issued in July.
At Tuesday's hearing, Rogers said:
And to that end, if I can, Mr. Alexander, there was some reporting that the story about French citizens being spied on by a particular slide that was leaked on a slide deck concluded that French citizens were being spied on. Can you expound on that a little bit? By the United States, by the way, specifically the National Security Agency.
Alexander responded:
Chairman, the assertions by reporters in France, Le Monde, Spain, El Mundo, and Italy, L'Espresso, that NSA collected tens of millions of phone calls are completely false. They cite as evidence screen shots of the results of a web tool used for data management purposes but both they and the person who stole the classified data did not understand what they were looking at. The web tool counts metadata records from around the world and displays the totals in several different formats.
Alexander then threw a rope around the governments of Europe as if associating others in the conspiracy diminished his own guilt.
The sources of the metadata include data legally collected by NSA under its various authorities as well as data provided to NSA by foreign partners. To be perfectly clear, this is not information that we collected on European citizens. It represents information that we and our NATO allies have collected in defense of our countries and in support of military operations.
Rogers then continued laying down cover fire for the surveillance, leading the witness to describe that the targets of the spying — Russian and Chinese intelligence and al-Qaeda — were likely using European networks and thus those networks fell safely within the scope of "lawful" NSA surveillance.
"So if I understand you correctly this information was likely collected external to the country of which it may have been reported in defense of operations ongoing in the world in which NATO participates," Rogers asked.
"That is correct," Alexander responded, performing his role perfectly.
This claim is at once revelatory and deceitful. According to the many reports on the Boundless Informant operation, data was collected from foreign networks en masse, with no attempt to distinguish between suspected threats to our or our allies' national security. That is to say, the networks were not the target; rather, the targets were the countries themselves.
Insisting that all the information scoured from these networks was obtained outside the country in question is indefensible and supported neither by Alexander's testimony, his written statement, nor by the various journalistic descriptions of the information on Boundless Informant released by Edward Snowden.
Rogers reiterated the point that the true target of the surveillance is not the populations of France, Spain, Germany, or any other European country, but rather the evildoers who might be using networks in those countries for their own nefarious communication.
Here's the transcript (made by this reporter) of the relevant portion of the Rogers-Alexander exchange on this point:
Rogers: Hmm. And so, let me just ask you this. If, as you study the networks of the world, let's just talk about the European Union for a second if I may. Is it possible for Chinese intelligence services, military or otherwise, to use networks that you would find in any nation-states of the European Union?
Alexander: Absolutely, Chairman.
Rogers: How about Russian intelligence services? Is it possible that they could use networks — communication networks, computer networks — inside the European Union for what they're up to?
Alexander: Absolutely, Chairman.
Rogers: How about al-Qaeda? Would they use, could they use, is it possible for them to use the networks found in the European Union to conduct planning, operations, or execution of operations?
Alexander: They could, absolutely, Chairman.
Fair enough. So the NSA is snooping on the electronic communication of people they believe to be conspiring to harm the United States or its allies. That does not mean, however, that those Russian and Chinese intelligence resources or those alleged al-Qaeda operatives are not also citizens of this or that European country.
And, more importantly, might these people not also be American citizens? Is the NSA not explicitly forbidden from conducting such surveillance without a warrant as mandated by the Fourth Amendment?
It is of note that not once during this hearing did Representative Rogers ask General Alexander if any of the targets were American, if the NSA sought or obtained a valid search warrant before denying Americans of their civil liberties.
Conservatives — particularly those who regard the NSA's surveillance as a necessary evil to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States — must understand that the Constitution protects the rights of "the people" not be subjected to warrantless searches, not just the rights of "good people" or "the right people."
Our Founding Fathers understood that the reason for this broad protection is that the enemies of today are the allies of tomorrow, and when rights are taken from any one group, all other groups are subject to similar deprivations when the political winds change.
Finally, in their jointly prepared statement, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and General Alexander wrote, "We remain committed, as we review these activities, both to ensuring that we have the authorities we need to collect important foreign intelligence to protect the country from terrorism and other threats to national security and to protecting privacy and civil liberties in a manner consistent with our values."
If these hearings and the many aspects of the various NSA surveillance programs revealed in the Snowden documents make anything clear it is that the values of those conceiving and conducting these surveillance operations are not consistent with the principles and protections of civil liberty laid out in the Constitution. And the testimony and questions heard at Tuesday's hearing verify that they don't pretend that they are.

- What's been your biggest success so far? What could be a bigger or more important version of that? It needn't be something you accomplished at work. For example, if you played in the community orchestra, perhaps you aspire to conduct Beethoven's Fifth.
- If you had to give away a million dollars, to whom or what would you give it? For example, if you'd give the money to the NARAL: ProChoice America, perhaps you'd want to be a volunteer coordinator for it.
- What societal problem are you most concerned about? For example, if politicians frustrate you, do you want to run for office? If you're sick of traffic gridlock, do you want to join a local transportation committee?
- Is there a product or service you'd love to improve? Let's say you'd like to improve health care but are intimidated by the problem's massiveness. You might become a patient advocate, helping patients get the care they need.
- Assume there's a God. What would God tell you is the most important project He or She put you on this earth to undertake?
- Sometimes,a broad, direct approach is best: What's the biggest idea you could see yourself motivated to tackle?

Cato Neimoidia: The Arena
Boss Fight: Gorog[edit]
When the level begins you'll immediately be put against the massive Gorog. This is a multi-part battle.
When you first meet Gorog you'll be in the arena. He'll attempt to hit you with a number of attacks. Most commonly he'll try to slap you into the ground with one of his hands. When he's aiming for you, the area he's targeting will glow red. Just dash out of the way before he can hit you. More difficult to avoid, he'll try to swipe at you. This attacks sweeps across the entire arena and will knock you flat if it connects. To avoid it, double jump when his attack gets close and you should leap right over his arm. He'll also occasionally blow you back with some super breath, but this is more of a nuisance than anything else. Your strategy here should most basically be to just avoid Gorog's attacks and blast away at him your force lightning. When he's suffered enough damage, he'll lower his arms allow you to attack his shackles. Doing so will trigger a quick time event in which you can chain up one of his arms. Once both are locked up, zap his head until some more quick time instructions trigger. Completing it successfully will cause some serious damage, but also release his arms. Repeat the previously described process until this portion of the battle is finished.
When the second stage of the battle begins you'll be standing on a narrow ledge with the Gorog attacking you. If you stay out in the open the Gorog will attack much as it did in the first portion, slamming and swiping at you with its fists. Rather than take this pummeling just head to the far left of the area. You'll come to a pillar the Gorog is holding onto for support. Standing behind this pillar you'll be impervious to most of its attacks. Just stand there and zap him with your force lightning. Some storm troopers may show up, kill them to regain some health. After Gorog has taken enough damage it will smash away some debris on the right hand side of the ledge. This will clear the path allowing you to jump to the top of a platform there. Once on the top, Gorog will grab on to the platform giving you an opportunity to attack it directly with your lightsabers. Cause some more damage and the Gorog will move to a second area, identical to the first. Just follow the same steps we've outlined above and you'll have little trouble finishing it off.
This isn't the end though. A third part of the battle will initiate. The Gorog has grabbed Kota and you're now pursuing it as you all freefall toward the planet below. When you begin you need to move in closer to the Gorog. Dodge and destroy the debris that flies up past you. When you get into the initial attack range, start hitting him with some force lightning. The Gorog will try and swat you away. Dodging these blows can be difficult. Just watch them to learn the attack pattern. Whichever arm it uses to swing high first, it will swing low with the next one and vice versa. After you cause enough damage, you'll move in even closer allow you to attack the Gorog's head. Throw your lightsabers and use force lightning until it's defeated. Repeat as necessary and the battle should shortly be over.
This ends the level.

Web Design Showcase: Heritage UMC and Faith Bible Church
In this week's showcase, we are featuring one site that was actually a winner of a custom header design and another that invested in their own Custom CMS website. We felt that both of these websites were great examples of the possibilities that the NE1 website builder and our Custom CMS products can offer.
Faith Bible Church
Faith Bible Church, located in Libby, Montana, is a "Christ-centered, Bible-teaching church whose mission is exalting Jesus Christ, evangelizing and discipling people in service for Him, and connecting with each other." They were fortunate enough to be a winner in one of our contests called the "Extreme Makeover OCC Edition." As the winner of this contest, they received a Custom Header for the template of their choice. They chose to go with a Flash header with rotating images and animated text. You can visit their site at http://www.libbyfbc.org/.
Heritage United Methodist Church
Heritage United Methodist Church is located in Clearwater, Florida. They are a multi-generational community of believers in the United Methodist tradition growing together under the leadership of Jesus Christ. Their primary focus and audience is young families and children. Because of this, they chose to have an "edgier" website design. They also chose to have a second, yet similar design for the Student Ministry section of their website. Two of the favorite features on their website are their "Sermons Online" section, where visitors can stream audio recordings of past sermons from the website, and the event registration software, which allows the church to collect both information and money directly from the website for upcoming events. These are just a couple of the features that keeps their website remarkable and saves them time in the end.

DETROIT (Detroit Free Press) – A 9-year-old boy leaped or fell to his death from a bedroom of his family's ninth-floor apartment unit Wednesday, Detroit police said.
After the fall, no paramedics arrived on the scene and the boy was transported to the hospital in a police car. A state lawmaker is blaming city budget cuts for the lack of EMS response.
According to police, the youth had threatened to commit suicide several times recently. The incident occurred about 5:30 p.m. at a low-income housing complex, about one-half mile west of Henry Ford Hospital.
"It's real sad. There's too many young people doing this," said bystander Sheila Bowman, 35.
Wednesday's apparent suicide comes less than two months after the May 23 death, later ruled a suicide by the Wayne County Medical Examiner, of a 7-year-old Detroit boy. He was found hanging by a belt from his bunk bed after he locked his bedroom door, following weeks of complaining about being bullied at school, according to a police report.
At the time of the May suicide, psychologists at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit and at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor said children's threats of suicide should be taken seriously. Experts said that children considering suicide do not show the usual signs of depression but instead may act irritable or angry.
Outside the brick high-rise where the boy died Wednesday, Michele McCray said she was sitting in the shade when "I heard a thump and then someone moaning."
McCray, 56, said she turned and saw the boy's crumpled body a few yards away, on the grass next to the building.
"I really didn't feel I should go over there," she said. Instead, McCray ran into the apartment building's lobby and shouted for anyone with a phone to call 911, she said.
"He was a good kid — he was a skateboarder," said Faith Tucker, 35, who lives on the second floor of the 10-story apartment tower.
Because no EMS truck arrived at the scene, the boy was taken to the hospital in a police squad car, bystanders said. State Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, confirmed that Wednesday night.
"It's just unbelievable," Tlaib said. "Can you imagine the family of that child — not seeing any ambulance come?"
She blamed city budget cuts for what she said was an unprecedented shortage of EMS trucks in Detroit. On July 7, a father whose 14-year-old son was fatally shot in southwest Detroit had to drive his son to the hospital because no EMS truck was available, Tlaib said.
She notified state officials Wednesday of both incidents and requested an investigation. Both incidents occurred in Tlaib's 12th state House District, which covers the south end of Detroit and once was patrolled by five EMS trucks.
"As of today (Wednesday), we have none. They have to dispatch one from the east side now," she said.
"The state needs to request a full investigation of this" through the agency that licenses ambulances in Michigan — the Crime Victims, EMS and Trauma Systems Division of the Michigan Department of Community Health, she said.

This past weekend was the first without football for Aurora Christian seniors Chad Beebe, Joel Bouagnon and Brandon Mayes since just before two-a-days opened in August.
Could have fooled them.
Charting the whirlwind surrounding the trio's future school, Northern Illinois, kept any Huskies recruit busy. Within 48 hours, NIU defeated Kent State in double overtime for the Mid-American Conference championship, learned coach Dave Doeren was leaving the program for North Carolina State, hired Rod Carey as Doeren's replacement, and ascended the BCS rankings enough to land a spot in the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl.
"My head's not spinning," Mayes said, "but it definitely is an exciting time while also sad to see coach Doeren leave."
The Eagles still are winding down from winning their second successive IHSA Class 3A state title in Champaign on Nov. 23, but the euphoria hasn't been so great as to cloud players from what's happening in DeKalb.
To be sure, Doeren's departure after two seasons is the most pressing issue. While Beebe could not immediately be reached for comment, Bouagnon and Mayes – both linebacker/running back hybrids in 2012 – stood by their college commitments.
"I'm not really changing around anything. I'm pretty comfortable at NIU still," said Bouagnon, a Burlington Central transfer now living in Batavia. "I think they're still solid enough, and I'm not going to change my mind on them."
Added Mayes: "Their recruiting coach has called, and we've been in touch about the whole thing. They've talked about just moving past it and keep moving on. As far as what they have to do, I'm not concerned about it because they're a great staff that really knows what to do and has a plan."
NIU enters the Orange Bowl against Florida State with 12 straight victories after losing its season opener to Iowa by one point. Oregon and Northern Illinois are the only programs in the country with at least 11 victories in each of the past three seasons.
Former Cadets reconnect in NCAA FCS: Seven years after both schools moved up to NCAA Division I, North Dakota State and South Dakota State met in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivison playoffs for the first time Saturday.
The game featured a pair of longtime friends, St. Charles residents and former Marmion standouts on opposing sidelines. Nick Scoliere and North Dakota State topped T.J. Lally and South Dakota State, 28-3, to advance to a national quarterfinal against Wofford.
A redshirt freshman linebacker, Scoliere has five tackles – one for a loss – in four games this season.
"Nick and I were texting at the beginning of the week a lot about the game," Lally said. "The games are always massive. The first one [a 20-17 NDSU win in November] was for the conference championship, and the second game was the playoffs.
"This rivalry, it's some bad blood up here, but it's always real good to see him."
Lally, a redshirt freshman linebacker and one of 10 Jackrabbits to earn all-Missouri Valley Football Conference recognition, registered 11 tackles Saturday. He finished second on the team with 107 tackles while sharing the lead with six sacks and two forced fumbles.
"This was a really special year for us," Lally said. "There's a lot we can build on here. We're happy with how it went and are looking forward to the future."

But I wanted to know if I can make shape files using bitmaps and frames from Total conversions or really any kind of shapes file made by someone that's not me without having to ask for the permission of the person that orriginally created that shape file. Because I am experimenting a lot with Shapefusion and i thought it'd be fun to put those exclusive-to-that-conversion monsters or scenery or weapons in vanilla Infinity.

DURHAM — The Portsmouth woman who pleaded guilty Thursday to lying to police about Elizabeth Marriott's murder could be a valuable asset to prosecutors if her ex-boyfriend goes to trial on murder charges next year.
Kathryn McDonough, 19, was sentenced on charges of conspiracy, witness tampering and hindering prosecution. She was ordered to serve three consecutive jail terms of between 3� and 7 years — a potential incarceration of up to 21 years.
But under the terms of a negotiated plea deal, a majority of that time was suspended, and McDonough will serve 1� to 3 years in prison. The deal requires McDonough to testify in the upcoming murder trial of her former boyfriend, Seth Mazzaglia, who is accused of strangling Marriott inside his apartment on Oct. 9, 2012.
One of the most significant challenges in any criminal trial is proving the suspect's intent, according to Charles Putnam, clinical associate professor of justice studies at the University of New Hampshire. People don't often spell out their rationale before they act, Putnam said, but some clues can help shade the jury's understanding of someone's state of mind: What did the suspect do and say before the crime? What did he look like while it was going on?
In Mazzaglia's case, prosecutors have laid out three different theories of the murder. One first-degree murder count alleges Mazzaglia "purposely" strangled Marriott to death with a rope. Under state law, "purposely'' is defined as meaning the actor's conscious object is the death of another, and that the killing was deliberate and premeditated.
Another first-degree murder charge asserts Mazzaglia "knowingly" caused Marriott's death in the course of a sexual assault. He was also indicted on a second-degree murder charge, which alleges he "recklessly" caused Marriott's death with extreme indifference to the value of human life.
If the testimony of a cooperating co-defendant helps establish the elements of first-degree murder, it can have tremendous consequences in sentencing. First-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole in New Hampshire.
A second-degree murder conviction still carries the potential for a life sentence, but it isn't mandatory.
In most criminal cases, criminal defense attorneys and prosecutors begin to discuss whether the case is eligible for plea negotiation almost as soon as the charges are filed, said Putnam, who is co-director of UNH's Justiceworks program.
Defendants aren't required to take the stand when they are tried in court, and in most instances, witness testimony is likely to be persuasive to the jury. That's especially true if it corroborates the physical evidence or statements of other witnesses
"Very often a homicide occurs without witnesses, and if there is an eyewitness to the homicide, that eyewitness is very likely to have testimony that will be very helpful to a jury to understand the details of what occurred in the case," Putnam said.
Prosecutors prefer to have the least culpable of multiple defendants testifying on the state's behalf, because defense attorneys will be eager to cross-examine a cooperating co-defendant.
Mazzaglia is accused of using a rope to strangle Marriott, then discarding her body in the waters off Peirce Island in Portsmouth. He initially denied any involvement in Marriott's death, but later confessed to strangling the UNH sophomore under questioning, according to a police affidavit.
Mazzaglia was indicted on murder charges by a grand jury in May. He also accused of conspiring with McDonough to deceive police. He has entered not guilty pleas on all charges.
Mazzaglia's trial is tentatively scheduled for May 2014. The trial is expected to take a week and a half, plus another week for jury selection.

Well, with a little attention you can keep your African violet cycling in and out of bloom all year round. African violets are easier to grow then many think if you create a favorable growing environment
Beekeeping group offers
essay contest for 4-H
The topic for the 2012 beekeeping essay, sponsored by the Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees Inc., is "The results of honey bee pollination in my community." Active 4-H members can compete to win three awards, at amounts of $750, $500 or $250. Entrants are encouraged to consider the scope of plants, food crops, trees, habitats and animals that are positively affected by honeybee pollination.
I seriously cannot believe it is December! It is time to start decorating for the holidays, which includes the poinsettia.
The poinsettia has been a fixture in American homes as a holiday decoration for as long as most of us can remember. I think it is fair to say that it is considered the "official" Christmas flower. In fact the U.S. Census Bureau says that more than 75 million plants were sold last holiday season!
Preparing horses for the arrival of winter involves many of the same tasks done for humans: Drag out the winter clothes, check to see if heater is working, guard against frozen pipes, stock the pantry and make sure shots are up to date for the cold-and-flu season.
The first forecast of possible snow is signaling the imminent arrival of winter, and horse operations are scrambling to get the local equine population under wraps.
NAILE champions sale
breaks $100,000 plateau
The Sale of Champions at the North American International Livestock Exposition broke the $100,000 plateau for the first time in its history.
Gross sales for six animals this year is $103,500, breaking the previous record of $98,900 set in 2009. Six animals, three Grand Champions and three Reserve Champions, are sold each year.
Several years ago I made the mistake of leaving the water pump in the barn instead of storing it in the basement. Well, I found out why Daddy always stored it in the basement during the cold days of winter.
When I got the pump out to do some irrigation the following summer, the primer tank had split right open. A little bit of moisture was left in the tank, and it froze. The tank is made of cast iron, so imagine what a little moisture might do to your favorite terracotta pot.
There are many gardening tasks that must be done – or are better to be done – in the fall of the year, things like cleaning up old plant material; fertilizing trees, shrubs and lawns; and protecting tender plants like hybrid tea roses and French hydrangeas.
These chores are all a part of garden maintenance and taking care of them now will improve the quality of your garden later. Here's a checklist to remind you of what needs to be done to get the garden ready for winter.
NAILE show continues
at state fairgrounds
Thousands of animals, Quarter Horse roundups, youth in agriculture and a giant country store for shopping are part of the North American International Livestock Show, which continues through Friday at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
It's time to clean up the bramble patch. In order to maintain healthy and productive blackberries and raspberries, we need to prune out the old to make room for the new.
Most brambles are biennial, which means they fruit on second-year growth.
Blackberries are easy to deal with, just remove the arching canes that fruited this year and trim up and trellis the new growth from this summer, which will bear next summer's fruit. Repeat the same thing next year.
Biennial raspberries are trickier.

Here is a terrific Edmodo testimonial from a teacher, Michelle Sumner. In her bio, Michelle states, "Being Deaf, I use technology in every aspect of my life and I make an attempt to demonstrate its use with my students to enhance instructional opportunities as well as build confidence and expose them to real life situations they will encounter upon leaving High School."
What a great teacher!
The Edmodo Social Network
by Michelle Sumner
I introduced my students to Edmodo yesterday. Edmodo is a social network for classrooms. There are different account settings for teachers and students (teachers obviously having more "administrator" features, such as adding users, direct messaging to students). I am trying this program this year with my classroom as a hub for communication when away from the classroom. Edmodo allows me to message my students within a safe environment (similarly as Twitter, but not public). It allows me to assign homework, attach documents, embed media, send links and even grade. By setting up each class individually, students aren't bombarded with messages that don't apply to their course of study. However, a nifty feature that Edmodo recently released is the ability for me to set up groups within the class so that my students can collaborate and communication between each other (i.e., sending direct messages).
There are several other features that I look forward to using with my Edmodo network this year. I frequently poll my students regarding projects they are working on and level of enjoyment or challenge. Edmodo allows me to do this easily using a feature similar to Polleverywhere all in one location. Students don't have to remember a different address to access our information. In addition, I can send our blog feeds directly to our Edmodo network, allowing students to see when I have made changes and added posts to our class blog. I also intend to add student blog feeds to our small groups once we get those up and running. I know that there are still many other features I haven't figured out yet.
My students were excited to know that they could message me anytime (I can also receive their messages via my email on my cell). I was pleased to find that students caught on very quickly to the features and several even explored it more that evening. To find out more about how Edmodo can be used in your classroom, visit https://edmodo.com. Sign up is free! (And no, I do NOT work for Edmodo).
Have you used Edmodo in your classroom or a similar program? I would love to hear the ways you have utilized this. Please leave your comments below.

Since I am a gifted and talented teacher and only see my students one day a week, Edmodo has allowed me to extend my students' learning and engagement in the material to more days. I have found the students exploring, questioning, and extending the ideas we discuss in class as well as developing a community of learners. Also I have found it is a great way for the students and parents to communicate with me. We love EDMODO!!
Just involved my students within Edmoto. Seems to be a very
rich source for students.
Thanks for sharing your experience Michelle. Do you know of any tutorials or other resources to get started as a special needs educator on Edmodo? I have searched for Special Ed and only find things like this which are full of irrelevant nonsense and people promoting their products:
I would like to find out how to streamline apps and activities for specific needs, e.g. ASD, and other intellectual and physical needs.
Do you have any advice or pointers?

Sarasota Memorial ranks among the top 5% of hospitals in America based on its unusually low mortality and complication rates, according to a study reported on Forbes.com today.
Forbes based its report on an annual survey by HealthGrades, an independent hospital rating company based in Golden, Colo., which singled out 269 hospitals across the country with unusually low mortality and complication rates for 26 different procedures and diagnoses. These include treatment for heart failure, pneumonia, stroke, as well as hip and knee replacement operations, back surgery and stent procedures.
Sarasota Memorial and the other select hospitals on the list were designated among the top 5 percent of hospitals in the country, with the lowest complication and mortality rates for a variety of procedures nationwide. Collectively, the top hospitals have a 29% lower mortality rate and 9% lower complication rate compared with all other hospitals. The rankings are based on data from 40 million patients on Medicare who were hospitalized between 2006 and 2008.
In today's report, HealthGrades estimates that if every hospital performed as well as those in the top 5%, it could potentially save 150,132 lives and prevent 13,104 complications in the Medicare population.
"There's huge variation in quality," said Dr. Rick May, vice president of clinical consulting for HealthGrades, in the report. "Patients need to be careful about evaluating their health care providers before handing over their lives and health."

Computers have been shut down across the country after NHS computers were hit by a cyber attack, plunging the health service into chaos.
A virus targeted the health service network, including on the Fylde coast, this afternoon and has since spread across the country.
Prime Minister Theresa May said it came as part of a wider international attack.
Tech experts are now battling to fix the problem, which the NHS has declared a 'major incident', and computers at walk-in centres, hospitals, and at GP surgeries have been taken offline, along with some telephone services.
Patients have now been urged to avoid them all 'unless absolutely necessary', and should instead call 111 for triage and medical advice.
GP and hospital appointments already arranged for this afternoon were still being held, it is understood, but new appointments cannot be made.
Medical notes will be taken using pen and paper until IT systems are brought back online, it is understood.
A spokesman for NHS Digital, which is responsible for cyber security in the health service, said: "A number of NHS organisations have reported to NHS Digital that they have been affected by a ransomware attack which is affecting a number of different organisations.
"The investigation is at an early stage but we believe the malware variant is Wanna Decryptor.
"At this stage we do not have any evidence that patient data has been accessed. We will continue to work with affected organisations to confirm this.
"NHS Digital is working closely with the National Cyber Security Centre, the Department of Health and NHS England to support affected organisations and to recommend appropriate mitigations.
"This attack was not specifically targeted at the NHS and is affecting organisations from across a range of sectors.
"Our focus is on supporting organisations to manage the incident swiftly and decisively, but we will continue to communicate with NHS colleagues and will share more information as it becomes available."
Sixteen NHS organisations were initially thought to have been affected, though some reports have suggested the problem is more widespread.
A spokeswoman for Blackpool Victoria Hospital, which has been impacted, pleaded for patients in the resort to only attend A&E in life-threatening emergencies, and asked for patience in other departments, which are running slower than usual.
Patients should attend weekend appointments there unless told otherwise.
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust, which runs Chorley and Preston hospitals, said outpatient appointments and all planned procedures over the weekend are cancelled unless patients are contacted and told otherwise.
"Please only go to the emergency department or urgent care centre at Chorley and Preston if it is absolutely necessary," it said in a statement.
Morecambe Bay NHS Trust, which runs the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, tweeted: "We apologise but we are having issues with our computer systems.
"Please do not attend A&E unless it's an emergency. Thank you."
Lancashire Care, which provides mental health services across the county, declined to comment.
Dr Naughton, also a GP at The Thornton Practice, said earlier: "This is a problem that is affecting the whole of Lancashire.
"Patients are still being seen and practices are open for business, but patients need to be aware that, because we can't see their records or medicines history, if their problem can wait until the system is back online, please do so."
In a joint statement, Blackpool CCG and Fylde and Wyre CCG added: "There is an ongoing IT issue affecting NHS computer systems across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.
"NHS services are open and operating as normal. However, we ask local people for their understanding and encourage the appropriate use of these services.
"Please only visit the A&E department at Blackpool Victoria Hospital in urgent and emergency situations.
"The Walk-In Centre on Whitegate Drive, and Same Day Health Centre in Fleetwood will treat urgent but non life-threatening illnesses and injuries as normal.
"If you need medical advice for a non-urgent condition over the weekend, the NHS 111 helpline can provide fast and free advice.
"Your local pharmacy can also advise of treatment for minor ailments.
"We thank people for their understanding and co-operation."
The 'majority' of GP surgeries in Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre, have been affected, they added.
Ransomware installs itself covertly on devices and then holds information hostage until a ransom is paid.
A screenshot obtained by the Health Service Journal (HSJ) purported to show the pop-up that appeared on at least one of the computers affected.
It said: "Your important files are encrypted. Maybe you are busy looking for a way to recover your files, but do not waste your time. Nobody can recover your files without our decryption service."
It goes on to demand $300 of the digital currency bitcoin, otherwise the files will be deleted.
It gives a deadline of next Friday afternoon to pay.
Wanna Decryptor is believed to be the same virus that has hit Telefonica and several other large organisations in Spain today.
The HSJ said services affected were thought to include archiving systems for x-rays, pathology test results, phone and bleep systems, and patient admin systems.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one hospital IT worker told The Gazette he believed between 25 and 30 trusts have been affected.
He said: "User shared drive access is down. Emails slowly going.
"Non-essential PCs are being shut down and waiting times are estimated to increase.
"There's nothing we can do except sit back and watch it collapse. The ransom message is exactly the same here, but with different bitcoin links, which is standard.
"It's a goodbye to the IT systems."
Coun Derek Robertson, who represents Waterloo ward on Blackpool Council, was told he could not be discharged from Blackpool Victoria Hospital due to the IT breakdown.
He said: "At 3pm the doctor cleared me to leave, but then the cyber attack happened and it means I can't be discharged because I can't get the discharge papers or prescription medicines I need.
"I've been in hospital since Sunday, and I'm ready to go home but there is nothing they can do. I don't know when I'll be discharged.
"Other patients are affected as well, and we're just being told no-one knows when we can go home."
Coun Robertson had an operation after suffering a serious infection in his arm.
Security chiefs and ministers have repeatedly highlighted the threat to Britain's critical infrastructure and economy from cyber attacks.
Last year, the government established the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to spearhead the country's defences.
In the three months after the centre was launched there were 188 'high-level' attacks as well as countless lower-level incidents.
Chancellor Philip Hammond disclosed in February that the NCSC had blocked 34,550 potential attacks targeting UK government departments and members of the public in six months.
The National Cyber Security Centre said it was aware of a 'cyber incident' and was working with NHS Digital and the National Crime Agency to investigate.
In December, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it had not suffered any cyber attacks since at least 2012.
In response to request under the Freedom of Information Act, it declined to say how much it had spent on security because 'disclosure of this information may have the potential to allow criminals to hack into the systems, to cause systems to fail or to enable/disable access to the information stored within them, and therefore hinder the trusts ability to take preventative measures to prevent crime and keep the information secure'.
Mrs May said: "We are aware that a number of NHS organisations have reported that they have suffered from a ransomware attack.
"This is not targeted at the NHS, it's an international attack and a number of countries and organisations have been affected.
"The National Cyber Security Centre is working closely with NHS digital to ensure that they support the organisations concerned and that they protect patient safety.
"And, we are not aware of any evidence that patient data has been compromised.
"Of course it is important that we have set up the National Cyber Security Centre and they are able to work with the NHS organisations concerned and to ensure that they are supported and patient safety is protected."
Dr Anne Rainsberry, NHS Incident Director, added: "We'd like to reassure patients that if they need the NHS and it's an emergency that they should visit A&E or access emergency services in the same way as they normally would and staff will ensure they get the care they need.
"More widely we ask people to use the NHS wisely while we deal with this major incident which is still ongoing.
"NHS Digital are investigating the incident and across the NHS we have tried and tested contingency plans to ensure we are able to keep the NHS open for business."

OUTLaws strives to engage the Law School community in LGBT-related issues. This past year it hosted 29 events, programs, and activities. The dinner served as an opportunity to bring together a community of individuals who continue to fight tirelessly for LGBT rights and honor all judges, clerks, administrators, and other lay people who volunteered their time to open the courts on Marriage Equality Day (July 24, 2011). OUTLaws also presented community service and alumni achievement awards. The Hon. Rosalyn Richter '79, New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, was the keynote speaker and was introduced with moving remarks by Professor Liz Schneider. Judge Richter recounted her experience as a student at Brooklyn Law School, remarking that, "it was not easy to be an out lesbian in 1976." It was a time when the women's rights movement was in full bloom, but that there were no openly gay individuals in the legal community. She resolved to speak out, joined anti-bias committees, and sought to provide a voice for those who hadn't had one before. Judge Richter went on to describe how over time, slowly but surely, "the idea of same-sex marriage no longer seemed so crazy." She explained that change comes slowly in the court system and that "Marriage Equality is a great landmark for LGBT rights." However, she said, "the dialogue must continue as achieving equality is never easy." Ross Levi '97 was presented with the 2012 Alumni Achievement Award. From June 2010 through March 2012, Ross served as the Executive Director of the Empire State Pride Agenda and Foundation (ESPA) after having worked there since 2000. ESPA is New York's largest and oldest statewide civil rights organization committed to achieving equality and justice for LGBT New Yorkers and their families. Ross was involved in every state governmental victory ever achieved by the Pride Agenda, including most recently the marriage equality law. Other statewide measures he helped to secure include: the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act; the Hate Crimes Act of 2000; making the state's 9/11 relief inclusive of same-sex couples; guaranteeing domestic partners hospital visitation, legal authority over a loved one's bodily remains, access to Family Court and medical decision making authority; and securing over $50 million of funding for LGBT health and human services. The event was bolstered by inspiring speeches from honorary guest speakers. These included Alphonso David, the Deputy Secretary for Civil Rights for New York State Governor Cuomo, Carlos Menchaca who serves as the LGBT and HIV/AIDS Liaison for the NYC Council Office of Speaker Christine C. Quinn, and a community address from Mickey Heller '91 of the Brooklyn Community Pride Center. Email this article Share Read the latest issue of Brooklyn Law Notes

I cannot wait for tonights game. How many times has anyone said that about a Knicks-Timberwolves game? Jeremy Lin has been absolutely amazing in his three starts as a Knick. Lin scored 38 points en route to leading the Knicks to a 92-85 victory over the hated Lakers. Tonight, the Knicks bring a 4 game winning streak into Minnesota against an upstart Timberwolves team.
Here's what to watch for:
- Lin versus Rubio. The primetime matchup tonight is a battle between two of the premier young point guards in the game. Jeremy Lin and Ricky Rubio are must see TV. Both players are similar in their ability to distribute the basketball. Tonight should be another great test for Lin. He has already defeated Deron Williams, John Wall, Devin Harris and Kobe Bryant. I think Lin can take Rubio. Rubio has struggled over his last four games, having turned the ball over four times in each game. Like Lin, Rubio will be playing the second game of a back-to-back as Minnesota lost to Dallas last night. Both point guards are capable of having great games tonight, it will depend on which player has more in his legs. Lets see what happens.
- Knicks must keep Kevin Love off the boards. Kevin Love had a 30 point 30 rebound game against the Knicks last year. Without Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks will not win if Love has another virtuoso performance like this. Jared Jeffries and Tyson Chandler will need to make sure they find Love on long rebounds and missed shots. If you ever watch Love play, he always seems to be in the right place at the right time on rebounds. This is showcased by Love's 13.6 rebounds per game. The Knicks lost on the boards last night, 48-41. They'll need to at least keep the rebound battle close if they are going to win tonight. New York also must keep Kevin Love from getting to the free throw line as he is a 92.9% free throw shooter.
- The Knicks bench must produce. With their stars out, New York's bench has been helping them immensely during this 4 game winning streak. This must continue tonight against a good, young Minnesota bench. Derrick Williams, JJ Barea, Martel Webster and Michael Beasley are all capable of making a big impact off the bench. New York needs Walker (gulp), Shumpert and Novak to step up and play well tonight.
- Jared Jeffries needs to continue play well. Last night, Jeffries did a very nice job guarding Pau Gasol. He will have the task of chasing Kevin Love around the court tonight. All season, Jeffries' defense has been fantastic and he has helped the Knicks defense improve greatly from last season. However, while Jeffries is a defensive player his offense has been very good over the past few games. Jeffries has averaged 8.5 ppg and 7.5 rpg over his last 4 games. With Lin running the show, Jeffries has been able to find some rhythm running the pick and roll and shooting the mid-range shot. I look for Jeffries to continue his quality play.
- I think Kobe knows who Jeremy Lin is now…
- Last but not least, remember to keep the Stoudemire family in your thoughts and prayers. Amar'e buried his older brother Hazell today and will re-join the team Monday. Events like this always make me put things in perspective. As great as Jeremy Lin is and how great sports are, they are all secondary to real life events. As happy as I am about Lin, I am equally saddened for Amar'e Stoudemire and his family. Stoudemire has worked very hard throughout his life to help his late brother Hazell to get his life back on track and obviously this tragedy is just a horrible horrible event for all involved. RIP Hazell Stoudemire.

Researching a book entitled 101 Places to Get F*cked Up Before You Die: The Ultimate Travel Guide to Partying Around the World may seem like the most fun job ever. But editor David S. Miller stresses there's more to it than one might think. He describes the compilation of wild, first-person adventure stories pulled from the community of travel writers that comprise the Matador Network as a "Trojan Horse:" the sensationally-dubbed cover opens to reveal real cultural experiences.
The book's crazy title gave Miller pause when he was first approached about the project, but he soon realized there was a lot missing in the current travel literature. Most features flaunt the best beaches and sunsets, but they lack details on how visitors can have authentic cultural experiences. "People are just trying to sell the destination," he says. But he wanted this book to provide readers with "culture and stories you wouldn't find in every travel book."
"The whole ethos behind the book is: it doesn't really matter where you go…even in Antarctica or the middle of the Bolivian salt flats…if you're the kind of person who isn't much of risk-taker, this is a time to get out and mix it up," says Miller.
The crazy stories told in the book, organized into booze—and, occasionally, drug—fueled chapters like "High Elevation" and "Under the Radar," give readers tips on how to have fully immersive experiences while on vacation. Intertwined among tales of getting "f*cked up" are accounts of how to make real connections with local people who can serve as guides to the region, taking the traveler to the most genuine spots.
Miller's love of travel was sparked while hiking the Appalachian Trail soon after he graduated from college. Later, he saved up and spent a few years in Latin America, surfing, camping and backpacking. "If you're a surfer, you don't just blast out into the break—you find the crew who's there and [can] tell you what the great stuff is, and a lot of how you meet these people is [by going] to a bar or someplace like that," he says.
But for the 41-year-old father, partying nowadays is "maybe having some wine when I'm whipping up a meal." Getting "f*cked up" was never the end goal anyway, he says. "The point to me is not inebriation for inebriation's sake; the point is traveling and getting into a wave of exuberance, and to not hold back." The book may not inspire binge-fueled travel in Miller, but it's added a whole slew of new spots to his travel list and surfaced some old memories. His favorite, from 2000, was a visit to Montañita, Ecuador when the inaccessible coastal spot was, as he describes, "a confluence of beautiful people, no police or authority presence, an ongoing rave," with music and dancing and very limited connection to the outside world.
Miller hopes 101 Places to Get F*cked Up Before You Die, which was churned out in a mere five months, won't be just another commoditized guide. "It's more [about] the sense of opening up yourself and not being heads down in your device, and connecting to people face-to-face," he says. So, turn up your gaze and raise your glass to Miller's top picks for where to have the greatest party adventures around the globe.
Tokyo, Japan
You don't just bring your karaoke A-game to Tokyo, but your willingness to dwell in a futuristic world where the referents include horse sashimi, ninja-themed bars, and maid outfits.
Whistler, Canada
The most epic party experiences should be visceral; the terrain itself should play a big role in the story. With the right snow conditions, Whistler is all-time during the day, and then at night turns into a fucking hot mess of beautiful people with goggle tans and Volcom V-necks.
Raglan, New Zealand
Few places in the world allow the level of same-day access to snow and surf as found in the region of Waikato in the North Island. It's just three hours on state highways from Whakapapa and Turoa, the largest ski area in New Zealand, to Raglan, with its world-class surf breaks. Raglan itself is just a small pastoral town with, as writer Evan Timpy says, "musicians, photographers, environmentalists, and free-thinking itinerants to get wasted with."
Mardi Gras, New Orleans, Louisiana
People may just associate Mardi Gras with titty flashing for beads, but there are all kinds of cultural layers, such as the Mardi Gras Indians. Stretching back to at least the mid 1800s, the "Indians" of Mardi Gras pay tribute to Native Americans who helped African Slaves escape the bayou to freedom. If you can't make if for Mardi Gras, just make it down to New Orleans whenever.
Berlin, Germany
Writer Josh Heller explains, "Everyone has their own version of where to go totally fucking bonkers in Berlin, and each one of these prescriptions is 100 percent right. No matter how early you arrive in town, you'll hear the thumping bassline of a familiar track. You'll soon realize that it's 8:00 a.m. and they're playing an extended remix of the theme song from Ferris Bueller. This is Berlin."
Phuket, Thailand
The place where 10-million backpackers have lost their self-respect (hopefully just temporarily). Make the most of Phuket, but after your logic reaches a point where you're like, "If I just rent a beach chair, someone will bring me a coconut to wash down my Vicodin," it's time to leave.
San Francisco, California
San Francisco is where everything goes off on a quietly atomic scale: the waves at Ocean Beach, tech startups, next-generation electronic music, and a party culture (ever seen Bay to Breakers?) born of a tolerance decades ahead of the rest of the country. It seems like you can only understand how much it's like a treasure chest at the bottom of the sea if you really spend time there.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Buenos Aires (and most of Argentina in general) has a culture where socializing comes first. Parties are de la familia, meaning if there's a big celebration, kids are part of it, and bedtimes are out the window. Thus, kids grow up with a partying stamina, and you're liable to hurt yourself if you try to keep up. Ease into it.
Halifax, Nova Scotia
I love places that completely subvert people's expectations. Halifax is actually an insane surf town; you can fly in and be surfing within two hours, and during certain times of year there are tidal bores to paddle and surf. The city has a population of only 400,000, but with more than 5 major universities, the population skews young and boisterous.
Barcelona, Spain
As writer Sarah Briggs puts it, "Throughout the year, multi-generational party-seekers travel to Barcelona or BCN as cool people abbreviate it, many remaining to embrace the Mediterranean and the opportunity to nap on a daily basis without tan lines or scorn." 'Nuff said.
New York City
To me partying in New York always feels like walking in and out of an endless series of doors, each leading to a completely separate, often incongruent universe, and each with limited bathrooms. Every time I'm there I feel simultaneously happy I don't live there and envious of people who do.
Dublin, Ireland, St. Patrick's Day
Writer Pietro Buzzanca wrote, "If there were a school to learn how to get f*cked up, the headmaster would be Irish. The average Irishman can drink up to two six-packs of Dutch Gold on a quiet Tuesday night while staying in watching a movie, just for the exercise." Don't try to keep up with anyone here.
Munich, Germany, Oktoberfest
Journalist Jessica Peter puts it this way: "Guys in little leather shorts and girls with healthy racks squeezed into corseted dresses. Start practicing now: Ein Maß bitte."
Ibiza, Spain
As Larissa Coleman writes, "In the 1950s, hippies were drawn to Ibiza's postcard beaches. The rich and famous followed suit. Now, every flip-flop clad backpacker can be spotted shuffling to house music in Space." Forget you have (or ever had) a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Burning Man, Black Rock City, Nevada
This is already on most people's radars, but it just has to be part of this list. As Josh Johnson writes, "This is the type of scene you could parachute into stark naked and singing the Star Spangled Banner, and upon landing you would be absorbed by the great 50,000-person organism—clothed, fed, and imbibed before your 'chute touched the desert ground."

Picking out just the right paint colors can be difficult. Most of us want to put some color on the walls but are not completely confident with our color choice. You don't want your rooms turning out like these:
A very psychedelic room
Looks like a box of crayons
Cane much?
Wow, the worst of all. Check out that rockin carpet and not one but two fine wallpaper borders
Neat idea, but just too much.
And don't forget about the outside of your house. Seriously, what were these people thinking????
Only a big stuffed dinosaur would feel at home in this place
First off, when picking out paint colors, remember it's always going to look darker on the walls then it does on the little swatch. That's why it is always best to paint a sample area before you paint the whole room. Most paint stores sell 1 qt. samples for about $5.
Second, if you want to go bold and bright on the walls, you need to stick to a small color palette in furniture and accessories. A bright color can look really great, as long as everything in the room isn't all different bright colors. You should try to repeat your accent color at least 3 times in the space. Here are some examples:
A laundry room is a great place to start with some bright color. It will lighten the mood when you have to wash clothes.
Bright colors are tricky, if you don't have a "design eye" definitely seek professional help when deciding what color to paint. You should have a healthy respect for bright colors. Don't take them too lightly because they will really surprise you once they get up on the walls.
If you want to add color to your space, you don't have to go super bold. There are many great shades of neutral colors. Take a look at these colorful yet calming rooms:
Did you know that grey is the easiest color for the eye to look at? If you are going for a calm space, grey might be the color for you. Yellow is the harshest color for the eye so mixing the two really makes a great contrasting palette.
If you are just too afraid of color, try a nice neutral on the wall that will make your furniture and accessories stand out.
I love the pop of yellow here
And if you are just really incapable of even picking a neutral, you can always just leave the walls white and put up the paint swatches like this!!:
But seriously, if you aren't sure, get a second opinion or give us a call. We have special 3-hour consultations available and we would love to come help you! Check out our website for more information www.studiobinteriordesign.com

Product 976/6048
A personal once told me that art does not matter and that a painting is an unnecessary addition to a home. What the person failed to see is that it's so much more than just a painting, it's inspiration, love, comfort, community and so much more. It's a reflection of the person looking at it. Every painting has the potential to change a room or home forever, and impact the people in that room or home. It can represent inspiration, love and aliveness where none could be found before. And what is a home without inspiration, love and aliveness? It's the magic of art and it's the magic of a painting that too many failed to see. If you want to create a home that inspires you, a painting is the easiest and cheapest way to do it. Our paintings is stretched over a 2 cm thick frame made using FSC-certified spruce from sustainable forestry.
