Hagel cites "troubling lapses" in nuclear forces
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday there is "no room for error" by those responsible for U.S. nuclear forces, commenting publicly for the first time on what he called "troubling lapses" in professionalism within the nuclear ranks.
Speaking at the headquarters of the military's nuclear war-fighting command in Omaha, Nebraska, Hagel alluded to a series of missteps revealed in recent months by The Associated Press, including lapses among those who operate and support the Air Force's nuclear missile force. Last month, two senior nuclear commanders were fired amid misconduct investigations, and in August, service members working at a nuclear-missile base in Montana failed a safety and security inspection.
"You have chosen a profession where there is no room for error," Hagel said, directing his remarks to the hundreds gathered at U.S. Strategic Command for a change-of-command ceremony. "That's what the American people expect from you, from all of us. And you must deliver."
Hagel did not mention specific examples of nuclear lapses, but he left no doubt that he expects the top commanders to enforce the strictest standards of behavior and performance. He said that means accepting nothing less than perfection.
"As you know, this close scrutiny and the most rigorous evaluations that we have within the Department of Defense have recently exposed some troubling lapses in maintaining this professionalism," he said.
Hagel credited the retiring head of the command, Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, for enforcing tough standards. Kehler began his military career in 1975 as a nuclear missile launch control officer.
Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were at Offutt Air Force Base for the ceremony, as Kehler stepped down and Navy Adm. Cecil D. Haney took the helm.
Last month, Maj. Gen. Michael Carey was fired as commander of 20th Air Force, which is responsible for all 450 of the Air Force's Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles. Carey was fired for behavior that officials have said is linked to alcohol abuse.
His firing and the abrupt removal just two days earlier of Strategic Command's second-in-command -- Navy Vice Adm. Tim Giardina -- for alleged misconduct related to gambling came amid a series of disclosures by the AP about serious security and leadership lapses, morale problems and training flaws. In May the AP disclosed an internal email in which one midlevel nuclear officer said he had found "rot" inside his Minuteman 3 missile unit at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota.
Air Force and Pentagon officials insist that despite these issues, the nation's nuclear arsenal is being operated and maintained safely.
Associated Press writer Lolita C. Baldor contributed to this report.

When your birthday falls on the day your country officially recognized women's right to vote, you feel a particular pull to the 19th Amendment.
When your birthday falls on the day your country officially recognized women's right to vote, you feel a particular pull to the 19th Amendment. And this year, I felt a pull to spend my birthday visiting Seneca Falls, New York, where the first convention for women's rights was held in 1848.
I had never seen the Women's Rights National Historical Park or the National Women's Hall of Fame. I knew the boys might not last long on the tours, but we could at least take a few minutes to honor the women and the men who worked for equality.
We hadn't even made it inside the national park building when the boys heard the fountain. They raced down the stairs and onto the lawn to see the Declaration of Sentiments etched in stone with water washing over the top.
Nearby was a sign that thanked the men who had worked alongside the suffragists, and we stopped to talk about how smaller, less powerful groups of people always need others to see them as valuable - always need others to speak up on their behalf to people in power.
I told this to the two boys, who have the advantage of a strong family, a safe place to live and access to education. And I say it as often as I can.
And then I turned to Benjamin and I told him how Harry T. Burn, a state legislator in Tennessee, had planned to vote against allowing women to vote, but he received a letter from his mother urging him to change his mind. Benjamin's eyes grew wide when I told him that Burn voted in favor of the 19th Amendment for his mother and millions of other women.
We walked on, snapped pictures and read story after story of bravery and courage. All the while, I thought of that mother's letter. I thought of how overwhelming it must have felt to try to amend the Constitution. How frustrating it must have been to know in your heart that you were so much more than property and equal in the eyes of God.
But no matter how complicated the issue, it always comes down to one, doesn't it? One person sharing her story. One person listening.
Burn could say that women didn't have a right to vote, but he couldn't look at his mother's face and say that she was not worthy of the vote.
It was true in 1920, and it's true in 2017.
We aren't facing a constitutional amendment this year, but we are facing plenty of things that tear at the seams of our country. We've turned the volume up high on all sides of the political aisles, and we can barely hear ourselves think, much less hear the holy stories of others.
When the issues get large, we should get small. When programs and policies get beyond our comprehension, we should get close enough to remember that God loves us all.
One person talking. One person listening.
It has moved us forward before, and I know it will move us forward now.

Safest bet is to bet on yourself: 30-year-old CEO
The safest bet most people can make is to bet on themselves, says Raaja Nemani, the 30-year-old co-founder and chief executive officer of BucketFeet, a shoe company that sources its designs from street artists around the world, then pays those artists royalties on every sale.
Nemani says BucketFeet exists to make to make everyone's story more interesting and create connections in the physical world the same way many tech companies are trying to do so in the digital world.
I love Mumbai for its bustle and how it continues to drive business in India despite seemingly unorganised and too crazy, he tells Faisal Kidwai in an email interview.
Tell us about your childhood and India connections.
I was born and raised in West Lafayette, Indiana, a college town where Purdue University is located. My parents immigrated to the United States from Andhra Pradesh in the 1970s, and have been in the US ever since. My brother, sister and I were the only members of our very large extended families to be born in the United States - until recently, that is - with most of my cousins, aunts and uncles, etc, still living in Vishakapatnam.
I travel back to India almost every year or every other year, and am very close to many of my cousins. I also recently got married this year in Bengalore, where my wife's family lives.

How did BucketFeet come about? What's the story behind the company?
In 2008, I met Aaron Firestein in a slum, where both of us were volunteering, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had just started a year-long trip around the world when I met him and we instantly became close friends. He had begun drawing on canvas sneakers and posting pictures of his art to Facebook in 2007.
I left Argentina and Aaron stayed behind, but the two of us stayed in touch and constantly discussed our travels and Aaron's shoes, which began selling fast in South America.
In 2009, Aaron was invited to do a photo project in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he shadowed talented artists in the favelas (the term for shanty towns in Brazil) and then held a photo exhibit of their work in the more affluent part of the city. The whole idea was to connect two very different groups of people through art.
He told me about this project, and several months later both of us decided what we wanted to do in life. We quit our jobs to create a platform to connect artists to people around the world.
In 2011, BucketFeet was born.

What do you think makes BucketFeet stand out from the crowd?
BucketFeet is the only footwear brand 100 per cent focused on collaboration. No other brand has made artist collaboration core to its mission. Not only do we source artwork from talented artists around the world, but we also bring artists to the forefront and tell their stories and create deep connections between BucketFeet the brand, our artists, and consumers.
We feel every person has a story, so does every artist, and thus every shoe. We exist to make everyone's story more interesting and create connections in the physical world the same way many tech companies are trying to do so in the digital world.
By the way, we're looking for Indian artists and hear there's a great street art scene in Mumbai.

You have said that if you were younger, you would live in Mumbai. Could you share some of your Mumbai memories?
I have several cousins in Mumbai and I love the city for how bustling it is and how it continues to drive business in India despite seemingly unorganised and too crazy - by American standards - at times.
I love the energy of the city and the people and I feel that every citizen of Mumbai is an entrepreneur in some way. I love big cities with exciting opportunities, and there are few comparisons to a city like Mumbai.
In terms of memories - I've recently been to Leopold's and many of the other areas that were struck by the (26/11) terror attacks. It's chilling to see the bullet holes still in the walls and how such a fun-loving place could be targeted by people with ill intentions.
I love just walking the streets, negotiating with vendors, eating street food, and trying to fit in, which is sometimes hard, because even though I look Indian, my lack of Marathi or Hindi and accent still gives me away.

You are 30 and are already running a company. So, what's your advice to young entrepreneurs, especially those of Indian origin?
It's sometimes tough being Indian and trying to start a business. Obviously, there are many much bigger and much more successful role models both in India and in the US now in a variety of industries, which is great.
I think our parents and our culture put a lot of pressure for Indians to go into traditional fields, such as engineering, doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc. My advice is to have confidence in yourself and to know that the worst thing that can happen is that you will fail.
But when you compare failure with things in the world that are much worse - for example, how most of India's population lives below the poverty line - then it's really not so bad. If you have an education then you can always get a job eventually, I think the safest bet most people can make is betting on themselves.
I'm sure my mother still worries about me from time to time, but as long as I'm learning, happy, and able to pay rent, I think she's cool.

Global poverty and hunger are not only moral issues; they represent security issues—and ultimately business and economic ones too. But the poverty numbers are daunting and, at least on the surface, it seems little progress has been made. How can business and the world's corporations help efforts to alleviate global poverty?

ST. LOUIS - Mike Minor bounced back from the shortest outing of his career with seven strong innings, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Atlanta, which has the best record in the NL, salvaged the finale of the four-game set. Andrelton Simmons hit his 12th homer for the Braves, who closed out a 2-4 road trip.
Allen Craig had three of St. Louis' eight hits for his 44th multihit game of the season. But the Cardinals had a four-game winning streak snapped.
PHILADELPHIA - Roy Halladay pitched six effective innings in his return from the disabled list and John Mayberry Jr. homered for Philadelphia.
Cody Asche and Roger Bernadina each had two RBIs for the Phillies, who have won six of their last eight games.
A.J. Pollock had three hits, including a three-run homer, for Arizona, which has lost four of five.
The game started just 11 hours and 25 minutes after the final out at 2:12 a.m. of Saturday's 7-hour, 6-minute marathon that set a record for length of time of a game for both clubs. The Diamondbacks won that one, 12-7.
Halladay (3-4), coming back from midseason right shoulder surgery, allowed two runs and four hits. He was going to pitch his third minor league rehab start on Sunday but was pressed into action when Sunday's original starter, Tyler Cloyd, was one of 11 Philadelphia pitchers used on Saturday.
Arizona left-hander Patrick Corbin (13-4) gave up a season-high nine runs in 5 1-3 innings.
SAN FRANCISCO - Ryan Vogelsong threw eight sharp innings for his first victory in three months, leading the Giants to the win.
Pablo Sandoval had two RBIs as the Giants won their second straight to split the series with the Pirates. Buster Posey and Joaquin Arias each drove in a run.
Vogelsong (3-4) allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in his first win since May 20 against Washington. The right-hander used his longest outing of the season to lower his ERA to 2.55 in four starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 9.
A.J. Burnett (6-9) pitched 7 1-3 innings for Pittsburgh, giving up four runs and eight hits. He fell to 2-3 in 10 starts since returning from the DL.
Sandy Rosario finished the three-hitter for San Francisco's 11th shutout.
CINCINNATI - Caleb Gindl homered for Milwaukee for the second straight game, and Marco Estrada held Cincinnati's lineup to one single over seven shutout innings.
The Brewers took two of three from the Reds, who remain right behind Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the NL Central race.
Estrada (6-4) gave up Shin-Soo Choo's leadoff single in the first inning, and then left the Reds swinging at nothing. He walked two and fanned a season-high nine.
Jim Henderson gave up Joey Votto's 20th homer in the ninth inning while picking up his 21st save in 24 chances.
Greg Reynolds (0-2) pitched six solid innings for Cincinnati, yielding two runs and five hits.
MIAMI - Nolan Arenado hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth and Colorado held on for the win.
Jorge De La Rosa (14-6) won his fourth consecutive decision, allowing three runs in five innings. De La Rosa improved to 7-0 with a 1.92 ERA in day games.
Five relievers then combined for four hitless innings, with Rex Brothers working the ninth for his 13th save in 14 chances. With runners on first and second, Brothers got Ed Lucas to ground into a fielder's choice to end the game.
Miami's Justin Ruggiano homered and drove in two runs. Jacob Turner (3-5) allowed four runs - three earned - in 5 2-3 innings.
PADRES 3, CUBS 2, 15 innings
SAN DIEGO - Nick Hundley hit a game-ending RBI single in the 15th inning to lift the Padres to a victory over the Cubs.
Logan Forsythe set up the winning hit with a one-out single against Hector Rondon (2-1). He moved up on a groundout before Alexi Amarista was intentionally walked.
Hundley then lined a clean single into center field and Forsythe scored easily, giving San Diego its third win in the last four games. Dale Thayer (2-3) wiggled out of a jam in the top half to get the victory.
NEW YORK - Miguel Cabrera hit a mammoth homer, Rick Porcello enjoyed a happy homecoming and the Tigers polished off a three-game sweep.
Andy Dirks put Detroit ahead with a two-run shot, and the AL Central leaders improved to 12-5 in interleague play. They have won 34 of 49 overall, the best mark in the American League since July 2.
Porcello (10-7) pitched seven innings of four-hit ball before the Tigers broke it open with a seven-run ninth. The 24-year-old right-hander, who grew up nearby in New Jersey, left 17 tickets for family and friends.
Travis d'Arnaud hit his first major league homer for the Mets, who have scored five runs during a four-game slide. Dillon Gee (9-9) lost for only the third time in 16 starts.

1) Script Title: Pixelating Slide Show
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/pixelate.htm
3) Describe problem:
Okay, every bit of info I can find on this script only references IE 5.5. What about IE7, IE8, IE9? The slideshow in IE9 at least does not function. I'm getting an error - "Unable to get property '0' of undefined or null reference". The error refers specifically to the filter value in this line:
var pixeldelay=(ie55)? document.images.slide.filters[0].duration*1000:0
Granted, with IE, God himself only knows if that's the only issue, but it is at least the only error message. I have the slideshow here if you'd like to see it: www.darksidecow.com/test.html. It works great everywhere but IE. Please help.
Thank you!!

And it can run a mile in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Meet Boston Dynamics' Cheetah, which has just set the land-speed record for robots with legs as part of DARPA's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program (HT: Core77):
From the press release:
DARPA'S "CHEETAH" SETS LAND SPEED RECORD FOR LEGGED ROBOTS March 5, 2012
The use of ground robots in military explosive-ordinance-disposal missions already saves many lives and prevents thousands of other casualties. If the current limitations on mobility and manipulation capabilities of robots can be overcome, robots could much more effectively assist warfighters across a greater range of missions. DARPA's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program seeks to create and demonstrate significant scientific and engineering advances in robot mobility and manipulation capabilities.
The M3 program pursues four parallel tracks of research and development: tool design, improvement of production methods and processes, improvement in control of robot mobility and manipulation, and prototype demonstration.
This video shows a demonstration of the "Cheetah" robot galloping at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour (mph), setting a new land speed record for legged robots. The previous record was 13.1 mph, set in 1989.
The robot's movements are patterned after those of fast-running animals in nature. The robot increases its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step, much as an actual cheetah does.
The current version of the Cheetah robot runs on a laboratory treadmill where it is powered by an off-board hydraulic pump, and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the center of the treadmill. Testing of a free-running prototype is planned for later this year.
While the M3 program conducts basic research and is not focused on specific military missions, the technology it aims to develop could have a wide range of potential military applications.
The DARPA M3 performer for Cheetah is Boston Dynamics of Waltham, Mass.
So, will you be sleeping better tonight? Check out the video:

Nicholson & Hatch Named ODU Athletes of The Year
By ODU Athletics
April 26, 2011
NORFOLK, VA--Wrestling All-American James Nicholson (Des Moines, IA) and field hockey All-American Loran Hatch (Green Lane, PA.) were named Athletes of the Year by the Old Dominion University Alumni Association, while seniors Adam Roscioli (Forest, VA.) of men's soccer, Kristofer Hagg (Skovde, Sweden) of men's swimming and diving and Alyssa Pietrobono (Newark, DE.) of women's soccer were named 2011 recipients of the Jack Wilkins/James Howard Scholar Athletes of the Year at the annual Old Dominion University Athletic honors banquet, held at the Ted Constant Convocation Center on Tuesday night.
James Nicholson (Des Moines, IA) is the first CAA wrestler to win four consecutive championships. He is ODU's first two-time wrestling All-American since Buddy Lee did the same in 1982. He earned NCAA All-American honors with an eighth place finish at 125-pounds at the NCAA Championships. Nicholson compiled a 35-3 record and ranked fourth nationally. He completed his career with a 138-20 record which ties him for ODU's all-time record. Nicholson defeated 15 NCAA qualifiers this season and was recently selected CAA Wrestler of the Year for the second time and recipient of the Norfolk Sports Club's Tom Scott award as ODU's top senior. Nicholson is a three-time NWCA national All-Academic selection.
Loran Hatch (Green Lane, PA. )is the 2010 CAA Defensive Player of the Year, the CAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player and first team All-CAA selection. Hatch was named first team NFHCA All-American, making her the program's 29th. Hatch led the Lady Monarchs to a team-high 41 points on 19 goals and three assists. Her 19 goals tied for the CAA lead. As the CAA's top defensive player, Hatch helped anchor ODU's backline that boasted seven shutouts. Five additional opponents were held to just one goal. She was named to the NFHCA National Academic squad, and helped lead ODU to its 14th CAA title and the NCAA's second round.
The Jack Wilkins/James Howard Scholar Athletes of the Year are presented to the male and female senior athletes with the highest cumulative grade point average. Both Howard and Wilkins were instrumental in the formation of the ODU Intercollegiate Foundation, now the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation.
Alyssa Pietrobono (Newark, DE.) appeared in 12 games, with two starts. She has won several academic awards during her collegiate career, including the Dehardi Alumni Scholarship, the Goodman Award and the Tidewater Chapter VSCPA Outstanding Accounting Student Award. She will graduate with a perfect 4.0 grade point average in accounting.
Adam Roscioli (Forest, VA.), a defender and co-Captain on the Monarchs soccer squad where he was a two-time first Team CoSIDA Academic All-District selection. Nominated for the Lowes' Senior Award, Roscioli was named to the VCU/ Marriott Classic All-Tournament squad, and helped the Monarchs defeat second ranked North Carolina and advance to the second round of the NCAA College Cup with a win over defending national champion Virginia. Roscioli will graduate with a 3.91 grade point average in exercise science.
Kristofer Hagg (Skovde, Sweden) was recently named CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year for swimming and diving. Hagg placed 16th in the 200 free and 18th in the 500 free at the CAA Championships. He earned All-CAA honors in the 800 free relay. He will graduate with a grade point average of 3.91 in electrical engineering technology.

« Getting better all the time ! » as the good old Beattles' song use to say ! I downloaded and installed it. Thanks, Miles.Right after, I stumbled across these two links : - http://lifehacker.co...to-open-new-links-in- http://browserchooser.codeplex.com/An interseting feature in "Browser chosser" is the one that allows it to be defined as a "pseudo" default browser. Each time you click on a link (whatever this link is), on a "favorite", the little wondow with the browsers pops-up allowing you to choose which one you wanna use. So the favorite and link a re no longer related to one browser only; this is quiet "handy".Yet, it lacks the precision of Selector as long as it does not allow to move to a specific link selected in another browser : it only opens a new browser displaying its own starting page.So, according to my purpose, I either use Selector or the Browser chooser, now. What do you think about it ?-Xvarnah (September 14, 2009, 09:42 AM)

101 REASONS WHY I'M A VEGETARIAN by Pamela
Rice -- 10% OFF THE RETAIL PRICE OF $20.00!
Most people have probably heard at least one
reason--perhaps several--for adopting a vegetarian diet.
101 Reasons Why I'm A Vegetarian is a veritable
one-stop shop for ethical, ecological, health-related,
social, and economic arguments that challenge conventional
views about what humans should eat. After conducting
years of research in industry periodicals, government
documents, expert opinion, and the mainstream media,
Pamela Rice, founder of the Vegetarian Center of
New York City, has built the strongest support of
vegetarianism to date. A work of prodigious scholarship
and dedication, presented with wit and skill, this book
is sure to become the handy reference work for
vegetarians who want to give their meat-eating friends
one book that explains why they do what they do, and
for meat-eaters who want to understand all the arguments
for a meatless diet. (paperback, 254 pages.)

Paul, the label is AVeM definitely. This type of label came in one of three colors (red, blue, green). The M on the top line is the last letter of AVEM. Labels that had the name were considered their "artistic" glass. This type of label was used from the 1940s - late 1960s, so isn't very good for narrowing the date down.

The Jets dressed three quarterbacks for their game against the Chargers yesterday—a game they lost, 27-17. Greg McElroy, the former Alabama quarterback who, evidently, never faced a pass rush while he was there, started, while Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez backed him up. (Neither was the No. 3 quarterback proper, because No. 3 quarterbacks are not active on NFL gameday rosters.) This was the first game all year that the Jets had dressed three quarterbacks, even though they had plenty of reason to on prior occasions.
But for all the Jets' quarterbacks, the man who threw the game's best pass—a 42-yard bomb to Clyde Gates—was not a quarterback but a wide receiver, Jeremy Kerley, who played quarterback in high school. Kerley ran a handful of plays out of the Jets' wildcat, and he did fine, although one was slightly terrified watching defensive linemen chase after him. (Kerley is five-foot-nine and weighs 188 pounds.) But why was he back there? He hadn't been the wildcat QB all year. Tebow had filled that role. But ESPN explained after the game:
Tebow has been frustrated all season by his lack of playing time, but it culminated Tuesday upon hearing he would be passed over for a starting opportunity when Ryan decided to bench Mark Sanchez. Tebow was disappointed and upset enough to say he didn't want to be used situationally, sources said. He told the Jets coaches early in the week, giving Kerley time to take the practice reps. Soon reports emerged speculating the backup was looking to play outside of New York next season.
And why wouldn't Tim Tebow feel entitled to a job he hadn't earned? Here's Bomani Jones:
While Cam Newton was at Florida, Tebow wasn't the most talented quarterback on campus. After winning the Heisman Trophy, according to sources, he was outperformed by Newton in both practice and the '08 Spring game, yet Tebow (understandably) remained the starter. Newton was promised an opportunity to start in '08, but he never had a real chance given Urban Meyer's affection and preference for Tebow. At Senior Bowl practices in 2010, Tebow was so bad at taking snaps that shotgun elements from the Florida offense were added for him. That's right — his college offense was incorporated at the NFL's biggest job fair, one at which Tebow needed to show he could play a more conventional style of football.
Who knew so many well worn sports-media tropes could collide in one player? Tim Tebow is the plucky winner who rides his leadership and intangibles to greatness. Tim Tebow is also the overrated prima donna, the one who grumps over limited playing time and sulks and eventually quits on his team before demanding a trade. All things to all men, this guy. Which one is the real Tim Tebow? Find out by tuning in to Jaguars games in fall 2013.

There are two that I think fit this description: What is now know a Castle Clavey (formerly Narnia) and what is now known as Northern New Pigsyville (formerly Castle ???). I think Castle Clavey was started by __infinia__ soon but some days after than the first other buildings. The other castle is also from that early era. I don't have hard evidence that Rippy's UFO building is older, but seeing as the map was hosted by Rippy and presumably started as a SP map, I think it's likely. Or do you mean a different one entirely? There's also Castle Impenetrable reasonably near Spawn.

The 'Twitter' break-up: Chris Bosh and Toronto Raptors discussing sign-and-trades
"Chris Bosh's agent has told the Toronto Raptors that he's narrowed his list of preferred teams to five, two sources told ESPN.com's Chad Ford at the NBA draft camp.
The list of five teams — Toronto plus the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and New York Knicks, sources said — were given to Toronto management in case the Raptors want to construct a sign-and-trade deal (assuming he doesn't re-sign with Toronto)."
HoopsVibe's Call: Chris Bosh will not come back to the Toronto Raptors. And the NBA's sole international team shouldn't want him to come back.
Bosh claims to be about winning and this summer is his chance, his sole opportunity to partner with LeBron James or Dwyane Wade and win a championship. After all, The Big Three, Bosh, James, and Wade, have already admitted they'll hatch out a plan over a sitdown dinner before the July 1st deadline.
How can Toronto compete? Frankly, Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon, and Hedo Turkoglu can't.
Perhaps, the Raptors would prefer to cut ties with Bosh.
Fair or not, the team never had much success with the lefthanded post as the franchise piece. And Toronto management must have been disappointed when Bosh recently tweeted fans asking their opinion on whether to re-sign with the Raptors or leave the only pro team he's ever played for.
While this wasn't exactly Gilbert Arenas flipping a coin to decide between signing with the Los Angeles Clippers or Washington Wizards in 2003, it does show a lack of professionalism.
For years, Toronto has been paying Bosh max' money to lead. But max' money players don't embarrass themselves and their team by discussing their future on twitter like a second rate reality television star.
Toronto and Bosh should agree to part ways and focus on a sign-and-trade. This would be best for all involved, especially if it doesn't involve twitter.
Got thoughts on Bosh's future? Get at us in the comment box below.

Aurelio Tigley Aleonar-Dolores Rodecindo de Veyra House
442 Gen. Luna St. Erected: 1934 Feb. 21 Builders: Timoteo and/or son Bartolome Ybañez, carpenters (present owners: Heirs of son Peary G. Aleonar) -------
Nearly four months ago, February 21, my grandfather's house on 442 General Luna st. in Carcar celebrated its 75th birthday. Circumstances did not allow, and so the house just quietly passed what should have been a bling milestone.
February 21, 1934. My father said that it was his own father, Aurelio Aleonar, who'd etched the date himself on the side of the concrete stairway leading to the front door of the house—whether to commemorate when the construction started, or when it was finished—he was not sure. My father would have been only 8 years old then and Grandfather Aurelio, 36.
The house shares the same birthyear as the Archdiocese of Cebu, Donald Duck, Flash Gordon and Hitler's assumption of the title Führer.
The most immediately striking element of the house itself, an element present in certain other Carcar houses of the period as well, are the interior ventilation friezes. The houses were still outstanding copies of the ornate glories that were the earlier Dispensary building and St. Catherine's School. Only a carpenter could have produced those, since there was not a mass production of it at that time. And only master carpenters could have designed and executed the imaginative designs of the Carcar friezes.
High and wide windows on three sides made for a very airy sala. Precisely because of this unimpeded free air-conditioning, when I do sleep over there today, the sala is everything, more than any of the two bedrooms. The photo below, taken 1953, shows how much higher still the windows towered over the head of my six-foot father (of course, the tallest person looking out).
(photo by Emigdio Sedon for Fe Studio, 1953 Apr-17)
Carcar's master carpenters. I have always stressed quite obstinately that Carcar heritage should honor the town's architects and craftsmen who created the heritage houses, maybe even more than their owners themselves. A house can change ownerships any number of times, and many Carcar houses have in fact, but the architect, designer and builder are inseparably linked to the house itself.
But in our house's case, it's said that it was only a carpenter or two and my grandfather who wrestled with the house. And then, only a nickname here and there was handed down to us and through time we could easily have mixed them up. Anyway, the lore was that the master carpenter was nicknamed either Oming or Tiyoy.
I asked around extensively about these nicknames and managed to come up with the name of carpenter Oming Ybañez. What I also found out subsequently from my records jaunts was that a Bartolome Ybañez was born 1904 and thus would be around 30 at the time. And his father was Timoteo Ybañez! Oming or Tiyoy! I guess either of the two will do because the honor stays in their family.
Although Ybañez is a very old Carcar surname, this Ybañez family reportedly came from Dalaguete and Timoteo's wife, Victoria Mancia was from Talisay. Bartolome got married only 5 years after our house, in 1939, to Leoncia Baraquia.
The Owners. My grandfather, Aurelio Aleonar (1897-1966) had little memory of his father, Pedro, who died in 1905 and when Aurelio's youngest brother was only 3. At the time of Pedro's death, there were 6 living children, plus 4 from the father's first marriage. Pedro was a scribe, had been a cabeza and a secretario municipal of Carcar. His first wife was Anacleta Tangarorang (see Kabkad* in the time if Kolera); his second, Paula Vergara Tigley, was from Barili.
Aurelio's wife, Dolores Rodecindo de Veyra, was a city girl orphaned by her mother as a baby who was later brought to live in Carcar by her mother's sisters, guardian-aunts spinster Cristobalena and Nepomucena Duterte Rodecindo, after the latter got married to Carcaranon Marcelino (Inô) Ramos Tenchavez. Her father had gone back to Tanauan, Leyte, and father and daughter were reunited only after Dolores already had her own two sons, and only after which she began using de Veyra (Rodecindo de Veyra actually) as her middle name, per order of the father. Thus, she wrote her name Dolores R.V. Aleonar, as did her younger son Fr. Benjamin R.V. Aleonar. My father, who had a second name, used that as his middle, Peary G. (Gumersindo) Aleonar.
Their Rodecindo family had a past connection to Carcar where their granduncle, Don Dionisio Alo, died here in 1887. A native and resident of Cebu City, Dionisio had land in Carcar as shown by documents of sale by his widow and three children in 1888 of two lots in Bolinawan to Don Pedro Cui. The lots were bordered by Alcover properties. My grandmother's grandfather, Nicolas Rodecindo, apparently was related to Alo's wife, Eleuteria Solon Rodecindo (born c. 1826 in Parian or Cebu City). They must have been closely related because Dionisio and Eleuteria's direct descendants in Parian–the Alo-Santillan, Noel and Medalle families of Bonifacio st.–maintained close links with my grandmother and during WWII many of those families even evacuated to Carcar to be with my grandfather's family.
Dolores graduated at Upland in Carcar where she presumably met her future husband and the two became public school teachers and brought up the two sons, my father, a civil engineer-lawyer who became an RTC judge and the priest who died at age 42. If I remember correctly from a class reunion of theirs where I drove her to and fetched her from the town tennis court, Dolores's Upland elementary classmates included educators Elpidio Padin (a second cousin of Aurelio on the Tigley side) and future wife Primitiva Alfafara, future pharmacist Natividad Alfafara-Enriquez and future mayor Abundio Aldemita among others.

What happens to an individual physically and socially when, as a life long, healthy living non-smoker, he starts to smoke cigarettes?
What happens to an individual physically and physiologically when having smoked 10 cigarettes a day since her early teens she decides to give up unsupported?
Smoke Swap follows producer/director Perry (non-smoker) and presenter Katie (smoker) as they embark on this social experiment in the run up to the ban on smoking in public places on 1st July 2007.
Under the watchful eye of Dr. Mace, Perry and Katie will be monitored for the positive and the negatives effects of their actions. He will chart the changes in the cotimine levels, carbon monoxide levels, skin, respiratory system – oxygen carrying capacity, sperm and general health over a two week period. (It would be great if we could find a computer wizz to age both people according to their smoking preference).
Not only will we see the crossroads of health changes of the two individuals over the outlined time but we will also see what happens to the couple during their social time. How they deal with their cravings and addictions. We observe how the new social surroundings effect their habits i.e. Smirting, cravings and irritability levels.
Katie will give up smoking unsupported (cold turkey) but we will look into alternative methods, NRT's, hypnosis and will power. Will she put weight on? After the elapsed time frame will she revert back to smoking?
How will Perry approach the first cigarette? Will his body reject the poison? Katie will school him on how to light up, inhale and hold a cigarette. Will he become addicted? Will he be able to get off them when it's finished and if so how? Perry will also buy a jar and keep all his smoked butts in.
What conflict between Perry and Katie will arise during the course of the experiment
Smoke Swap will have the answers and will; I'm sure, throw up many more questions.
**Hypnotherapy could be used on Perry to implant a trigger so at the end of the experiment his identity as a non-smoker will return.

With the Grand Depart, UK interest in this year's tour was massive. How did you manage the comms around that?
We knew that the week building up in Yorkshire and then down to London would have a very, very strong UK focus. We had different audience groups to look at: existing cycling fans but also huge growth among the wider public, many of whom have a real interest in knowing how the sport works. We have a duty to explain the sport. One good example is how we announced our tour team this year, which was different. We had Dave Brailsford [Team Sky principal] on Sky Sports News, announcing the team and explaining the individual roles of each of the riders around Chris Froome. This also created some digital content and we put out a press release simultaneously.
What sort of access do you give the press to riders during the tour?
It's how you make sure you don't just react to the volume but help get our message across and be as helpful as can be. We're also very aware of supporting the riders and the staff as they are going into four very intense weeks. After they [the riders] have had their briefing on the bus in the morning, they will step off and talk to the media. We have a taped-off mixed zone around the bus and we have a press officer on the road, who is a former rider, who is managing these interactions [with the media]. If someone [in the media] has an interest in talking to a particular rider we'll say "come to the bus in the morning and arrange some time". At the end of the stage, it's much more reacting to what's happened on the bike.
Cycling's reputation has been tarnished by the use of drugs in recent years. Obviously this is something cycling wants to get away from, so does Team Sky's PR department vet journalists' questions to its riders on whether they are clean?
Clearly you are going to get a lot of those questions. Chris Froome has said he understands why, given the history of the sport, people ask those questions. We are not telling the riders what to say. They all understand those questions will come. They also know that the more you can explain how the sports works – explaining how they train, showing where they go and train – the more the wider audience is going to understand and perhaps they will be less sceptical.
How did you manage the communications around Chris Froome's crash and exit from the tour?
The main reaction was at the end of the race. Dave Brailsford was able to step off the bus and give a clear, concise explanation of what he knew and what he didn't know. And to say "we will update you on the following facts later". And then we have an effective digital media presence through Twitter and Facebook and our own website, where we put a lot of updates. We had updates from Dave and the doctor and some quotes from Chris Froome.
Is there a danger that high-profile riders like Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins overshadow the Team Sky brand?
I would turn it around the other way. The fact that you have high-profile, well-known personalities and individuals can take the brand somewhere else. What has been interesting, since Chris has left the tour, is that straight away some of the other riders' personalities are coming out more. Part of our job over the past six months has been to try to bring some of those other personalities [Team Sky riders Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas] out a little bit more. A team is made up of more than 25 riders and we want people to know more than just the Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froomes. So the tour in some respects has been good for us to bring those other personalities out.
Are these new names like Geraint Thomas good at PR and working with the media?
Geraint Thomas is someone who has a good feel for direct engagement through social media. He has been doing some interesting things with videos, interviewing people within the team, daily blogs, taking off his race number, signing it and giving it away through different routes. The goals for the team are not just winning races, it's about wining fans and growing the sport. And I think throughout the team, people are aware it's about explaining what's going on.

Carty post-game interview
>>>Jason Nicholas post-game interview
FLORENCE, S.C. – Junior lefthander Jason Nicholas (Wright City, Mo.) tossed the first shutout of his Bobcat career as the No. 3-seed and No. 9-ranked Georgia College & State University baseball team (37-15) upset No. 2-seed and No. 4-ranked Columbus State University (43-11) 5-0 Friday night in the NCAA Southeast Region Tournament hosted by Francis Marion University.
The Bobcats became the lone undefeated team left in the double-elimination tournament, and will play Saturday at 7 p.m. against the winner of the No. 5-seed Erskine College/Columbus State game at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Just two Cougars reached third base in the 113-pitch gem by Nicholas (6-2). The junior lefty scattered eight hits and two walks while fanning seven to win his fourth start in a row.
"The pitching has been huge," said GCSU head coach Tom Carty of the back-to-back complete-game efforts by his starters in the tournament. "We'll have a full bullpen the rest of the way. This is something we thought we were capable of doing all season long, and it's great to do it on this big a stage."
The Bobcats chipped away at CSU in the first four innings, plating a run each in the second, third and fourth. Shortstop Chandler Snell (Loganville, Ga.) and third baseman Steve Muoio (Rochester, N.Y.) recorded RBI singles in the second and third, respectively. Second baseman Jason Veyna (Lamar, Colo.) led off the fourth with a ground-rule double to left, later using his speed and a great jump to score on a wild pitch that didn't even exit the batter's circle.
The Bobcats added insurance runs in the seventh, when rightfielder Shawn Ward (Martinez, Ga.) greeted reliever Blake Sills with an RBI single on a hit-and-run, and Muoio later scored on a wild pitch to make the final 5-0.
Columbus State had runners on second and third with two down in the fourth and Nicholas responded with a strikeout. Another jam came in the eighth, but with the bases loaded and two out, Nicholas got a fly to left to end the threat.
"I had the fastball working today," said Nicholas. "I was spotting it pretty well both in and out. My arm feels great and the conditioning has helped a lot."
Catcher Benton Yaun (Marietta, Ga.) went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, a great way to start the first post-season action in the sophomore's career. Ward's RBI tonight gives the junior 80 on the season, tied with the Bill Blair in 1986 for seventh in Georgia College single-season history.
The 37 victories matches the most for a Carty-coached Bobcat squad, set just a year ago. The Bobcats are now over .500 at the regional tournament all-time at 14-13. The last region championship for the school came in 1995.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

One of the sites I'm monitoring uses CSRF cookies or tokens. I'm not familiar with this tool or practice or whatever it is, but the app owner says it's in use. He refers to it as though it's a cookie of some sort, but this value is kept in a hidden field on the form.
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="76760dba28242694a6821146aa8adea5" />
However, it's also showing up in the web log files when all is working correctly. But it's not coming through sometimes and the web page is returning a 403 error. See the attachment for some web log file extracts showing the csrf_connect cookie showing up certain times and not others.
So, eValid appears to be losing this value sometimes and this results in an error and the script fails. I am trying the introduction of delays in various parts of the script to see if that helps but I'm not sure what else to try. It's not a complicated script, just sometimes the login-submit works and sometimes it fails. When it fails, its because the CSRF token is missing and this results in a 403 error from the page.

Today, many anxious voices fear that the emerging American-Chinese duopoly must inherently generate hostility and lead to inevitable conflict between the world's two largest economies. However, I do not believe that wars for global domination are a serious prospect in what is now the post-hegemonic age.
Admittedly, the historical record is dismal. Since the onset of global politics 200 years ago, four long wars were fought over the domination of Europe: 1812-1815) due to Napoleonic ambitions; 1914-18 due to Germanic imperial frustration; 1939-45 due to Nazi madness; and from the late 1940s to 1991 due to worldwide Soviet ambitions. Each of these wars could have resulted in global hegemony by a sole superpower.
Yet several developments over recent years have changed the equation. Nuclear weapons make hegemonic wars too destructive, and thus victory meaningless. One-sided national economic triumphs cannot be achieved in the increasingly interwoven global economy without precipitating calamitous consequences for everyone. Further, the populations of the world have now awakened politically and are not so easily subdued, even by the most powerful. Last but not least, neither the United State nor China is driven by hostile ideologies.
Moreover, despite our very different political systems, both of our societies are, in different ways, open. That, too, offsets pressure from within each respective society toward animus and hostility. More than 100,000 young Chinese are students at American universities. It is fashionable for the offspring of the top Chinese leaders to study in the US.
Thousands of young Americans study and work in China, or participate in special study or travel programs. Several major US universities now have their own campuses in China with both American and Chinese faculty. Unlike the former Soviet Union, millions of Chinese regularly travel abroad as tourists and to work temporarily. Millions of young Chinese are in daily touch with the world through the Internet.
All this contrasts greatly with the societal self-isolation of the 19th- and 20th-century contestants for global power. Mutual isolation in those days intensified grievances, escalated hostility, and made it easier to demonize one another.
Nonetheless, we cannot entirely ignore the fact that the hopeful expectation in recent years of an amicable American-Chinese relationship has lately been tested by ever more antagonistic polemics, especially in the mass media of both sides. This has been fueled in part by speculation about America's allegedly inevitable decline and about China's relentless, rapid rise.
In the mass media, economically anxious American pessimists and nationalistically exuberant Chinese optimists have been prolific and outspoken in their simplistic view of the world and history.
Pessimism about America' future tends to underestimate this country's capacity for self-renewal. Exuberant optimists about China's inevitable preeminence underestimate the gap that still separates China from America – whether in GDP per capita terms or in respective technological capabilities. Paradoxically, China's truly admirable economic success is now intensifying the systemic need for complex social and political adjustments in how – and to what extent – a ruling bureaucracy that defines itself as communist can continue to direct a system of state capitalism with a rising middle class seeking more rights.
Military anxiety
Simplistic agitation regarding the potential Chinese military threat to America ignores the benefits that the US also derives from its very favorable geostrategic location on the open shores of two great oceans as well as from its trans-oceanic allies on all sides. In contrast, China is geographically encircled by not always friendly states and has very few – if any – allies.
On occasion, some of China's neighbors are tempted by this circumstance to draw America into support of their specific claims or conflicts of interest against China. Fortunately, there are some signs that a consensus is emerging that such threats should not be resolved unilaterally or militarily, but through negotiation.
Matters have been not helped by the American media's characterization of the Obama administration's relative rebalancing of focus toward Asia as a "pivot" – a word never used by the president – with military connotations. In fact, the new effort was only meant to be a constructive reaffirmation of the unchanged reality that the US is both a Pacific and Atlantic power.
Taking all these factors into account, the real threat to a stable US-China relationship does not currently arise from any hostile intentions on the part of either country, but from the disturbing possibility that a revitalized Asia may slide into the kind of nationalistic fervor that precipitated conflicts in 20th-century Europe over resources, territory, or power.
There are plenty of potential flash points: North Korea vs. South Korea, China vs. Japan, China vs. India, or India vs. Pakistan. The danger is that if governments incite or allow nationalistic fervor as a kind of safety valve it can spin out of control.
In such a potentially explosive context, US political and economic involvement in Asia can be a crucially needed stabilizing factor. Indeed, America's current role in Asia should be analogous to Great Britain's role in 19th-century Europe as a constructive "off-shore" balancing influence with no entanglements in the region's rivalries and no attempt to attain domination over the region.
To be effective, constructive and strategically sensitive engagement in Asia by the US must not be based solely on its existing alliances with democratic Japan and South Korea – which is in China's interests because of its stabilizing impact. Engagement must also mean institutionalizing American and Chinese cooperation.
Accordingly, America and China should very deliberatively not let their economic competition turn into political hostility. Mutual engagement bilaterally and multilaterally – and not reciprocal exclusion – is what is needed. For example, the US ought not seek a "trans-Pacific partnership" without China, and China should not seek a Regional Comprehensive Economic Pact without the US.
History can avoid repeating the calamitous conflicts of the 20th century if America is present in Asia as stabilizer – not a would-be policeman – and if China becomes the preeminent, but not domineering, power in the region.
In January 2011, President Obama and now-departing Chinese President Hu Jintao met and issued a communiqué boldly detailing joint undertakings and proposing to build a historically unprecedented partnership between America and China.
With Mr. Obama now re-elected and Communist Party chief Xi Jinping preparing to take over China's presidency in March, the two leaders should meet to revalidate and re-energize the US-China relationship. Whether this relationship is vital and robust, or weak and full of suspicion, will affect the whole world.
