T-Mobile USA this morning announced that CEO Philipp Humm has resigned. The Deutsche Telekom unit said that Humm is leaving the company to reunite with his family in Europe. Humm joined Deutsche Telekom in 2005, and has been running T-Mobile USA since November 2010.
The company named Jim Alling, now the COO, as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent replacement.
Humm leaves behind a company that's been battered by regulators and competitors alike. Under his watch, an attempt to sell he company to AT&T was thwarted by FCC opposition. Meanwhile, the company is the one major wireless carrier in the U.S. that does not offer the Apple iPhone; the company also lacks a credible 4G strategy.

Topological data analysis drives startup Ayasdi
It took a couple of years to commercialize his topological data analysis technology and get funding, but Gunnar Carlsson launched his Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup Ayasdi yesterday with the promise of unlocking hidden patterns in vast amounts of data without the need to run queries.
Cancer research, national security, energy exploration and financial fraud are its targets. The company built its TDA-based platform from 12 years of research and development at Stanford University. It was funded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation. The launch of the company was funded by $10 million from Khosla Ventures and FLOODGATE.
Ayasdi's platform, known as Insight Discovery, combines advanced mathematics, computer science, and visualization to help organizations find breakthrough insights in large and complex datasets.
The high ambitions for the company are fueled by the belief that as it is, big data fails to solve big problems because current query-based approaches are flawed; they lack the proper data analysis methods, the company says. Queries themselves are based on human assumptions and biases, and reveal only "slices of data," not the relationships between similar groups of data. Insufficient at best, the company says.
The Ayasdi platform is designed for domain experts, data scientists and researchers, but does not require coding or model building. The company says it is currently working with global 1000 companies to discover new drugs; improve cancer therapy, such as that discovered from an 11-year-old data set from breast cancer survivors; explore new energy sources and advance predictive drilling; and prevent fraud and terror attacks.
Tony Tether, former director at DARPA, said the TDA technology is one of the top 10 innovations developed at DARPA in the last decade.

Photography: Let's go exploring up mountains with with amazing photographer Sara Naim
You know that little square in the middle of a viewfinder of a camera that subtly "suggests" that maybe you should "aim" your camera at "something?" Well the reason that's there is that if you use it, you will end up with better photographic results (take note aimless iPhone photographers.) A good example of someone who uses this magic square is Sara Naim whose latest project Bhumi + Loga captures extraordinary humans, animals and top-knots trekking through rough and tropical terrain. The one thing they have in common is that they are all the centre of the photograph, making for a truly simple and beautiful series of travelling portraits indeed.

An idiom is a particular word or expression whose meaning cannot be readily understood by either its grammar or the words used. Idiomatic expressions cannot be translated word for word without causing confusion. For example, when combined with an adverb that describes feeling or health, aller (to go) is used to describe a person's health: Je vais bien. (I feel fine. I'm fine.)
Although the verb "to be" is used in English to refer to certain physical conditions, in French you express the same thought by combining the verb avoir (to have) with a noun:
avoir … ans (to be … years old)
avoir l'air (to appear)
avoir besoin de (to need)
avoir chaud (to be hot)
avoir de la chance (to be lucky)
avoir froid (to be cold)
avoir envie de (to feel like, to want)
avoir faim (to be hungry)
avoir soif (to be thirsty)
avoir lieu (to take place)
avoir mal à (to have an ache)
avoir peur [de] (to be afraid of)
avoir raison (to be right)
avoir tort (to be wrong)
avoir somm
Three important idioms using être (to be) are as follows:
Some idioms with faire (to do or make) include the following:
faire attention (à) (to pay attention to)
faire la connaissance de (to meet or make the acquaintance of someone)
Faire is also used idiomatically to describe the weather and sports, as follows:
Quel temps fait-il? (What's the weather?)
Il fait beau. (It's beautiful.)
Luc fait du
Combining venir de (to [have] just) with an infinitive shows that the subject has just done something: Je viens de manger. (I just ate.) Keep in mind that when two verbs are used in succession, the first verb is conjugated and the second verb remains in the infinitive: Je veux sortir. (I want to go out.)
Finally, use the present tense idiomatically as follows:
Use it instead of the future to ask for instructions or to discuss an action that will happen in the near future:

Jimmy Graham Plays Tag
The Saints, ahem, 'tight end' played two-thirds of his snaps in the slot or split out wide in 2013. Will an arbitrator determine that his franchise tag should be at the better compensated level of wide receiver? And in the end, will it matter?
A hearing is set for this week to determine the franchise tag calculation for the Saints' Jimmy Graham. At issue for the arbitrator is the proper tag amount to be applied to Graham—and to be counted against the Saints' salary cap: the amount for a tight end ($7 million) or for a wide receiver ($12.3 million). Let's look at the arguments:
Graham's argument
The Players Association will focus on the specific language of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, basing the tag designation (and calculation) on the position "at which the Franchise player participated in the most plays during the prior League Year." Graham lined up outside the traditional tackle box—either in the slot position or at wide receiver—for 67 percent of his total plays in 2013. Thus, a strict legal reading—and, as we know by now, there will be lawyers—presents a simple, clear and persuasive argument for Graham.
NFL's argument
The NFL Management Council will take a broader approach, trying to shift the discussion from a specific "number of plays" dispute to a deeper referendum on league-wide use of the tight end. They will present evidence to show Graham, Vernon Davis, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski and others increasingly split out to create matchup advantages. And, in so doing, these players are still acting as tight ends, not wide receivers. Their positioning according to scheme, they will argue, should not change their designation for tag purposes.
Further, the NFLMC will drive home Graham's official positional designation since entering the league: Graham played tight end in college, was drafted as a tight end, is listed on the roster and depth chart as a tight end, and was voted to the Pro Bowl as a tight end, etc.
The precedent
There is no grievance or arbitration result to be used as precedent. A pending dispute between the Packers and Jermichael Finley was headed off by a two-year contract worth the midpoint between the two tag numbers at the time ($7.5 million). A different positional dispute involving the Ravens' Terrell Suggs—whether he would be designated as a defensive lineman or linebacker—was also contractually resolved prior to a hearing.
A secondary issue
The tag amount over a one-year number disguises the real issue: the negotiation of a long-term contract between the Saints and Graham. Much like the Saints' negotiations with Drew Brees two years ago—also involving a franchise tag dispute, resolved in Brees' favor—my sense is that this episode is also heading for a deadline deal in mid-July, no matter the result of the tag dispute.
And therein lies the power of the franchise tag. At either number, it gives the Saints leverage. Despite high one-year earnings, Graham wants security; he wants the Saints to marry him, not just date him year-to-year.
Beyond this short-term dispute, the Saints will probably operate in the same manner as they did with Brees in 2012: wait until the July 15 deadline approaches and then make their best offer. And although an offer with perhaps $20-25 million guaranteed might not meet Graham's desired $30-plus million guaranteed, he would be hard-pressed to turn down that level of security compared to one-year earnings at either number.
But, you ask, won't a higher tag amount provide Graham more leverage in negotiations? Maybe, but probably not a lot assuming Graham prefers a long-term deal over the one-year placeholder. Further, assuming a long-term deal is negotiated, the "new money" will be calculated minus the tag amount and will actually look more player-friendly coming off the lower tag.
Ultimately, this dispute is not about a tag number, it is about a long-term deal. And my sense is, no matter the winner of this short-term dispute, Graham and the Saints will consummate a deeper commitment closer to the July 15 deadline for doing so.
Follow the (long-term) money.
It is matter choice and that way we should respect whatever that decision. http://www.francorpme.com/
According to DC sports talk, as of this morning, Graham's own Twitter account labeled HIMSELF as a TE. He night be a good football player, but his common sense is definitely lacking. I'm sure the NFL and Saints have screen shots of his account add of this AM. Stupid, stupid stupid!!!
Anyone realize why going to a game is major financial expense now? Let's just overpay all of them and NFL will end up on pay per view for pete's sake...What, his agent doesn't have enough homes with big pools or Mercedes Benz' in the garage? I love football,always have, but there has to be limitations as to what the pay is....Greed,Greed,Greed and more Greed.....I mean there are NBA players making $20 million a year that couldn't work at McDonald's if they don't play basketball,never mind spell it correctly....all for entertainment's sake....
The money argument is simple. Both the market & the rules tell us a receiver is more valuable than a blocker, but this is about the definition of a position. He is neither a TE nor a WR, but a hybrid. Officially he is a TE, but he is mostly used as a receiver. He will win in arbitration & eventually get paid for what he does on the field. Bigger & faster is creating more hybrid players on both offense & defense.
For a tight end he's kind of a diva.
Jimmy Graham is a tight end that was used in the slot. That doesn't make him a WR... If I'm in the slot and my job is to crack back on the DE on a sweep, that doesn't make me a tackle. Duh.
Simplified for those that need it simplified.
7 million as TE tag, how is he gonna feed his family. He will make more in the first 4 games next year than the average American will make in a lifetime.
tagging is stupid. a free agent is a free agent. period. he should be able to go to whichever team he wants.
No problem, just find another Saints receiver who lined up at tight end more often than Graham did. That player will be the designated Saints tight end.
Label him a WR and have him compete with all the other WRs for All-Pro honors.
In interpreting the language of the Collective Bargaining Agreement I believe that the quotations in the section regarding Graham's position are misplaced. The important language is "at the position". Obviously the Saints position is that the tight end's position varies depending on the match up they are trying to take advantage of on a particular play, much the same as they do with running backs and wide receivers.
All of this wouldn't be a problem, if the NFL hadn't agreed to playing time stipulations. By rule, Graham should be tagged as WR, but Saints thought he'd agree to TE. Now, the team will suffer either way 1)WR tag = players cut 2) TE tag = unhappy Graham and Brees.
I am studying Law in Germany so my approach might not be the right one... but why is the NFL making the argument that Jimmy Graham is doing something that no other WR is doing? He is taking 33% (or whatever the number is) next to the O-Line. That is not something a WR does... so instead of arguing about the similarities to a WR why is there no spotlight on the differences?
Just line him up 51% as TE with New Orleans new passing options or design routes where he starts as a TE and shifts to a more traditional WR route. It's not like Sean Payton can't come up with that.
What this is going to lead to is teams (at least those with heavy handed owners) changing the way they line up and run plays. A player like Graham/Gronk/Davis (or a Sproles/Woodhead type RB) may lineup wide to create a specific matchup, but they'll motion them toward the LOS so they're not "wideouts" at the snap.
As the other poster alluded to: where does this stop?
What if you have a safety that is also your nickel corner? An OLB that has his hand in the dirt on passing downs? Is he a DE now? What about your third tackle that only checks in to be a 4th TE or FB? Should he be paid as a an offensive skill player?
Easy way to fix this. Whatever position you play more at is your designation. 67% WR versus 33% TE
He is by definition a wideout.
One thing MMQB readers can routinely count on with Andrew Brandt is a well-balanced, thoughtful analysis without any bias for or against the players and/or the league.Rather than telling his readers what to think here, he sets out both sides of the argument and invites them to think for themselves and reach their own conclusions.Well done, Mr. Brandt.
In my judgment, Jimmy Graham is entitled to franchise tag money as a tight end, and not as a wide receiver.While the arbitrator should certainly weigh the relevant language in CBA Article 10, Section 2(a)(i), he shouldn't be constrained by it when determining the appropriate franchise tag calculation.Instead, common sense and the rule of reason should ultimately prevail here.If Graham is truly a wide receiver, then why is it that the number of wide receivers who similarly line up at tight end are scarcer than hen's teeth?If Graham wants to get paid as an elite wide receiver, does he really have the acceleration, speed, agility, and quickness of one?Furthermore, how does he perform against corner coverage?Ask the Patriots corners who covered Graham in last year's matchup and held him to zero receptions with one pick.
If the player "walks"—relatively speaking, of course—and plays like a tight end, and talks like a wide receiver, then he's a tight end.Substantively speaking, it shouldn't matter where he lines up on a majority of the snaps.
So can a linebacker who was in coverage against him now be considered a CB?
It seems that due to the constantly-rising number of loopholes and generalities in this last CBA, this won't be the last challenge of its kind. This last CBA has gradually taken the identity of "common law" practices, and eventually will appear to become a constantly evolving document, developed over time. We're going to need a Wapner!
@abbott1jeff Entertainers get paid...what a concept.
@SDCardsFan64 Split the difference and get the deal done.
@SDCardsFan64 Yup and we know he'd never make it.
@Rayelian I think the big question should be why hasn't the NFL realized it's system is completely broken by hybrid players and players who can play multiple positions?
It should've read "why isn't the NFL making the argument...." Sorry about that. :)
@mgranadosv No matter how you slice it, the tag system is broken with hybrid players.
@ea10 You may have missed the point that this is an issue only for players who might be franchised. A third tackle will not be franchised. A nickel corner will not be franchised. This issue is only an issue when players like Graham believe that they function as a higher priced player (or position) yet have their franchise value determined at the lower pay scale of a different position.
@DAN B1 Honestly I think they should pro rate it....give him 67% of the WR money and 33% of the TE $ and add them together.
The system is broken as is. I guess it would make sense if it was uniform and just wrong....but they have OL as a group (last time I checked all OL tags were based off nothing but LTs salary) while DE and DT is split into different groups (most are pass rush specialist DEs the tag is based off)....which doesn't make sense because in a 3-4 the strong side DE is technically called the DT in most schemes if you want me to get you good and confused and break the tag system down.
You have the RB tag which includes the FB position....and no clue what the H-Back position is...like Kleinsaucer who lined up as a FB and a TE...if he wears #44 is he a RB or a TE for franchise purposes? He could be either with that number...and if he is listed as a FB/TE on the roster....what do you do?
That brings me to LBs...they are one group, and in a 4-3 that kind of makes sense....but in a 3-4 the RUSH or JACK LB is technically your pass rush specialist and more or less a DE....but since pass rush is paid more you would have to pay your WILL, MIKE, and SAM LBs the average of the pass rushers since that is what gets the big contracts.
Now to make things even more confusing they did however decide it was important enough in the secondary to separate the S and the CB position....the difference there is 3m. So no CB in the final year of his contract would ever play S.....and if I were an aging CB no chance I switch for the current team if I think they will franchise me. Now I also saw someone above mention what if the backup FS ends up as your Nickel DB or you even bring out another S to fill in for him while he is covering the Slot?
They need a better system of labeling or at the very least do something like I stated above and depending on the amount of times they line up at the positions is what they end up getting....but that also would end up with tight owners dictating how the coaches line their players up.
@Ocean_State_Patriots_Fan So if you think Graham deserves only TE money:
-What would you think of a CB that converted to S due to an injury?
-What about a backup LT that played Guard (yes I know the OL franchise tag number for OL is the same across the board, but that means the system is broken to begin with since a C is getting LT money)
-What about a DE that moves to RUSH OLB with a scheme change coming?
-What about a DE in a 3-4 on the strong side which is labeled a DT?
I don't have a concrete answer, but you can't say that the positions that Graham plays is the same as a TE that is left in to block the majority of the time. Much like you said that he wasn't a WR for the reasons you stated also means that just because they slapped a TE position on him in the media guide doesn't mean he isn't a WR.

The thoughts and musings of an aspiring paleontologist, with occasional random stuff thrown in.

Utah Travelogue Part 3: CEU Prehistoric Museum
new directorship under renowned paleontologist Kenneth Carpenter. I knew he took over the position as director of the museum a couple years ago, and I'm glad he's using his position to ensure the museum is kept up-to-date. I admit I was mildly disappointed to find that not everything was in place, but I was determined not to let that ruin my visit, and I'm glad to say it didn't. Besides, it gives me a reason to visit again in the future.
The centerpiece of the paleontology hall is what is referred to the "kitty litter box," a sand-filled display area with mounted skeletons of the Jurassic dinosaurs Allosaurus, Camarasaurus, Stegosaurus, and Camptosaurus. Unfortunately, this section was the subject of much of the renovation. Most of the sand had been removed, and most of the skeletons were not mounted in their final positions. Only the Allosaurus was left standing, although this was hardly something to complain about, since it's a pretty cool mount, as can be seen in the picture above. I especially like the way the right foot is gripping the large femur. The Camarasaurus and Stegosaurus skeletons were laid out on the floor in the general position they occupied in the old "litter box," which was apparently to make them seem like carcasses. It was nice to still get to see these bones, even if they weren't remounted in their exhibit yet. The Camptosaurus was in in the lab, being remounted into a new, more accurate position (but read on).
Theiophytalia skull of the old mount, especially since Carpenter was coauthor of the paper that corrected the problem.
There was also a display case covering the topic of the extinction of the dinosaurs. There wasn't much new to me there, but I like how they listed aliens as an unlikely cause of the extinction, despite the fact that it reminded my of that dreadful episode of Ancient Aliens. Next to this display was some material covering some of the local Cenozoic paleontology. I admit I'm not insanely thrilled by Cenozoic stuff, being mainly a Mesozoic guy, but it's still nice to see it acknowledged, since it is still part of Earth's history.
After we were done with the exhibits, we of course had to get some souvenirs at the gift shop. I got a museum T-shirt and a copy of Mesozoic Vertebrate Life, of which Carpenter was an editor.
Overall, I highly recommend the CEU Prehistoric Museum. It has many interesting exhibits and the renovations definitely give something to look forward to. Between this museum and Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, I think Price is rivaled only by Vernal as Utah's "Dinosaur Town." And speaking of Vernal...

Rocknak's Poe Sculpture Set for Boston SquareApril 25, 2012
Hartwick College Associate Professor of Philosophy Stefanie Rocknak's sculpture of Edgar Allen Poe, Poe Returning to Boston, has been chosen to adorn the Square that bears his name in the poet's home city of Boston, MA. Rocknak was selected from among 265 artists from across the world who applied for the competitive public art commission.
A five-member artist selection committee, empowered by Boston Art Commission guidelines, made the decision following a lengthy process involving intense public scrutiny of design proposals created by three competing finalists. The finalists were picked from a pool of 265 artists from 42 states and 13 countries.
"I propose to cast a life-size figure of Poe in bronze. Just off the train, the figure would be walking south towards his place of birth, where his mother and father once lived. Poe, with a trunk full of ideas-and worldwide success-is finally coming home," said Rocknak of the design. She noted recently that the piece is more "painterly" than much of her acclaimed sculpture.
"Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most influential writers ever born in the City of Boston. As a city proud of its rich history, I'm so pleased to see this wonderful tribute come to fruition. The statue chosen for Poe Square is full of life and motion, and is sure to inspire residents and future writers alike for generations to come," said Mayor Tom Menino of Rocknak's design.
The plan calls for the statue of one of America's most influential writers to be installed in Edgar Allan Poe Square, a tree-lined, city-owned brick plaza at the intersection of Boylston Street and Charles Street South, just two blocks north of where Poe was born in 1809. Mayor Menino dedicated the location to Poe-and to his place in Boston's literary heritage-during bicentennial celebrations in 2009.
"The sense of Poe returning triumphant with creative ideas bursting forth from his suitcase is very appealing," according to project manager Jean Mineo. "The review committee, and public input, conveyed great excitement with the dynamic sense of movement, accessible style, and Poe's creative energy expressed in the proposal. There is also strong support for [Rocknak's] approachable, ground level statue that helps humanize Poe and place him in the context of this active neighborhood."
Poe, who at age 18 returned to Boston to publish his first book, later developed a notoriously contentious relationship with the city's literary elite, including with local editors who seized an opportunity to criticize him upon another return to his native city for a reading in 1845, the year Poe's most popular poem, The Raven, appeared. Poe's final works were also published in Boston prior to his mysterious death in Baltimore in 1849.
An award-winning member of the Sculptors Guild whose artwork has appeared in numerous publications and in more than 40 exhibitions including at the Smithsonian, Stefanie Rocknak is an associate professor of philosophy and the director of the Cognitive Science Program at Hartwick College, where she has taught since 2001. A graduate of Colby College in Waterville, Maine, with a B.A. in American Studies and Art History with a concentration in studio art, she holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Boston University. Her interests include the 18th-century Scottish philosopher David Hume (the subject of her forthcoming book), the philosophy of art, and the philosophy of the mind.
Describing her dual roles as artist and philosopher in Colby Magazine last November, Rocknak said: "Initially I kept them totally separate ... but making representational art is a manifestation of my philosophical belief that all art doesn't have to be conceptual." She said her figurative artwork, usually created in wood, is "cathartic" representing "a way to externalize certain emotions."

I'm a writer and photographer who specialises in international aid/development, and I'm rapt that I get to do it full-time in my work at CARE Australia. I've previously also produced content for organisations including AusAID, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade, The World Bank and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
My freelance work has been published in publications including AsiaLife, Business Spectator, Get Lost, Herald Sun, Jetstar Magazine and NineMSN Travel. This site is here mainly as a portfolio of sorts, essentially a place where I can put up some of my recent work.
A bit more…
Between 2009 and 2012 I lived in the Solomon Islands, the group of 900 islands between Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, working for the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) – the Australian-led response established following years of civil conflict in the Solomons. My work with RAMSI saw me travelling around, camera and notebook in hand, to document the work of the 15 Pacific countries that are helping the Solomons get back on its feet. Prior to moving to the Solomons, I worked for over four years as the Communications Manager for Melbourne Airport.
If you're keen to get in touch, feel free to send me an email. I'm also on Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, LinkedIn and whatever they think of next.

I accept that Hermione isn't generally pronounced in the "correct" way. But that isn't because of Harry Potter,it's just the English pronunciation of it.
Much like Rhys is never pronounced correctly by anyone who isn't actually Welsh.
Most of those I knew though,and generally the newer pronunciations are actually counter intuitive!
Really interesting list, enjoyed reading it!

thank you for making this list! Extremely good reference, and people should read it through.
I've gotten so sick of people pronouncing my name Xanthe as Zantha, and then I must go through and explain that it is Greek and that the e is pronounced. erg.
Thanks so much!

Hi guys, I thought I'd start on the softer side of tonight's show. My girl Tami brought me to tears tonight. I had no idea she'd been harboring such a dark past especially because her exterior is always so strong. As much time as I've spent with Tami, I never knew she was raped. Listening to her confront her own issues with the Anger Management specialists makes me really realize that our struggles are just a preview of the blessings to come. I respect Tami for sharing this and I'm sure there are so many women out there that can relate to her story. I value loyalty and I understand how deep rooted issues come into play in dealing with current situations. Tami's bravery has inspired me to look at my life and how I handle my own problems…Not sure if I'm ready to tackle Anger Management (although Lord knows I probably need it) but it definitely has me thinking of better ways to handle problems.
What did you guys think about my sister Sylvia tonight? Isn't she amazing!!! When I pray for her and my brother-in-law Anthony, each day, I find myself really thinking about marriage and the level of commitment it takes. Their love sets the bar and I pray that God blesses me with the strength and love that mirrors my sister's. She is an example of what a real wife, mother and woman looks like. Seeing her being pampered at our spa day made my heart smile. She deserves all the love and happiness her heart and hands can hold.
Now on to KENYA! What in the world is going on in that girl's head (no pun intended)? That weave-wig has to go…like now! Seriously, before she continues to pursue her singing career (and to her credit, she can sing) yet she needs to set up an appointment with @tamiroman's glam squad, quick like and in a hurry. If Kenya really took the time to tweak her look, she might have a chance.
The beef between her and Kesha is a mess. I don't really know what to say. I think Kenya could have come at Kesha a little better especially since Kesha is the thorough and professional type. I know we are filming and we approach things when we meet up however Kenya should've had that conversation with Kesha in private. There was no need to throw a jab like that in front of all those people. I'm all about keeping it 100 but that was a bit much.Finally, I just want to say how much I love filming with Shaunie and Tami, those two really crack me up. No matter how many ups and down we go through, I smile and laugh the hardest when we're in each other's presence.
Until next week…Stay blessed and prayed up!

We are a group of people that saw a need and wanted to fill it.
Karma Chameleon saw that newer food trucks really needed a place to 'park it' on Saturdays. Frisina Group wanted to do something with their location before the new building goes up next year and Serious Monkey wanted to support entrepreneurship in Hamilton.
Our team was pulled together by a few phone calls and 'Savory Saturdays' was born.
Now that we had the location, interest and brand; all we needed next was a greater purpose. Food is a huge focus with this type of event so we connected with the Food 4 Kids program and offered to give a portion of proceeds from all the participating food trucks to this great cause.
Everything we do behind the scene is voluntary so if you'd like to help support us with this adventure we'd love to chat with you! We can always use a few extra hands!

Larry Jacobs discusses the Affordable Care Act.
It's possible, of course, that the Supreme Court will surprise the pundits and uphold the law -- period. That might finally jolt Obama and reform supporters into speaking up more vigorously. During the presidential debates leading into the November elections, more Americans would find out that the law mainly does things they strongly favor.

"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Corinthians 2:10).
As I opened my eyes to another homeschooling day, sunlight was just beginning to filter through my bedroom windows. Realizing that I had slept through the alarm, I quickly threw back the covers to jump out of bed and start breakfast. However, as I did, I was surprised to find my two youngest children snuggled in my blankets. Quietly waiting for me to wake up, they were holding a book and eager to continue reading the story we had only half finished the previous day. Smiling, I said, "Okay, let's just start school right now." Tucking each child in the blankets on either side of me, I opened their book, and we began to read together. For the next 30 minutes, we all enjoyed our unconventional classroom, and I thanked God again for the spontaneous joys of homeschooling.
Like the unexpected learning moments that occur in homeschooling, we never know when the Holy Spirit is going to speak to our hearts. As God impresses His Word upon our minds in Bible study or miraculously chooses to answer a specific request when we're on our knees in prayer, we experience a special touch of God's goodness and mercy. As we are snuggled in the warmth of our Father's love, the Holy Spirit teaches us the truth (John 16:13a) and gives us a taste of our future home in heaven (Ephesians 1:14). Even when we are at our weakest and God seems far away, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us "with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26b).
What a wonderful God we serve! Praise Him as He touches your life today with special moments of understanding and love. "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:17-18).
Heavenly Father, thank You for the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. I praise You for the power and divine wisdom that comes from above, and I worship You for revealing Your will in my life each day. Please, draw me ever closer to You! In Jesus' name, Amen.
"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Talk about a successful return.
Playing in their first NJCAA National tournament game since 1995, the Northwest Florida State Lady Raiders received 18 points from Ta-varsha Scott and flexed a bit of defensive muscle on Tuesday, allowing just 13 second-half points in a convincing 57-46 win over Itawamba Community College (Miss.).
The win, which moves NWF State to 25-4 on the season, sets up a second-round matchup for the No. 11-seeded Lady Raiders against No. 6 Walters State. That game is set for 7 p.m. tonight in Salina, Kansas.
In Tuesday's opener, the Lady Raiders endured a first-half hot streak from Itawamba, taking a 36-33 lead into the halftime break before clamping down and allowing just five second-half field goals.
"Defensively I thought we did a better job of identifying what we wanted to do in terms of forcing them into areas that we want to drive teams into," said Northwest Florida State head coach Patrick Harrington. "I thought we concentrated on that end a little better. I really felt like in the second half, our ladies played more like we are asking them to play."
The result was a stifling defensive effort that turned a 3-point halftime lead into an 11-point win.
Scott, a sophomore from Ringold, La., that entered as NWF State's leading scorer and rebounder on the season, was both on Tuesday. Coming off the bench, Scott scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.
"That's what she does," said Harrington of Scott. "She pursues the basketball very well and in this environment, there's going to be a lot of second-chance scoring opportunities."
Scott was joined in double figures by freshman Carla Batchelor and sophomore Kiani Parker, who each scored 10 points.
"It was a good effort," said Harrington. "I was happy with the way we played."
Walters State up next
With a first-round victory behind them, the Lady Raiders will now meet Walters State (36-1) of Tennessee, the tournament's No. 6 seed.
The Senators, who beat Panhandle Conference champion Gulf Coast earlier this season, have not lost since a 55-53 defeat to Georgia Highlands on Nov. 24 and enter the national tournament on a 30-game winning streak.
"They are very balanced team," said Harrington. "They've got three really good guards, some good post players. They have a point guard who can really run the show. We are going to have to be at our best.
"We've got to tighten up in some areas like unforced turnovers, layups, defending with intensity…If we do that, it could be a good game."

The President, Nigeria Committee on Large Dams Mr. Imo Ekpo has called on the federal government to utilise renewable energy potential of the country to boost electricity.
Ekpo listed the renewable energy sources available in the country to include hydropower, animal residue, animal waste, crop residue and wind as well as solar radiation.
The committee president stressed the need for Nigeria to develop its hydropower potential and other renewable energy sources to address the erratic power supply in the country.
According to him, Nigeria needs to take drastic actions that will ensure reliable and sustainable power supply.
He said: "People are ready to pay for all; water, light and whatever if only the services are being provided. "Although, I am aware of some roads having light from solar, it is not good enough because the energy from solar is relatively small but most of our hospitals and schools which are not like big industrial projects, can have power through alternative sources of energy.'"
Ekpo that the committee had scheduled to hold some activities to advise the federal government on dams operations and management.
He also said the committee would carry out some sensitisation programmes to inform Nigerians on measures to prevent the recurrence of flood.
"We also are going to reach out to the state governments and other stakeholders that have challenges in the maintenance, planning and operation of their dams.
"Why we have planned that is because the issue of flooding and global Climate change has become so apparent that the voice of NICOLD must be heard louder than before.
"That is the actual role we are supposed to play; in guiding the government where government is supposed to be --- the issue of flooding, capacity building, maintenance of our existing dam infrastructure and the issue of letting people know that they should not block drainage.

But the problem is you do have drain. The advantage of the insignificant self discharge in a VRLA battery is insignificant compared to what the standby drain is in all vehicles. You have to disconnect the battery or use a maintainer. Not a "plus" unless you plan to store the battery on a shelf.
Rant on. Somebody will get paid off and the deal will go through. If you think corruption only exists outside of North America, you're dreaming.
come on ... welcome to 2012 .. AGM is hands down better than wet lead acid!!! where is this harder to charge AGM stuff coming from?
granted if AGM goes completely dead, waking AGM up takes big honking amps. but batteries of all types when drained completely dead will pretty much kill it.
one of the biggest disadvantage of wet PB is high self discharge... bikes by their nature gets ridden from daily to every other month or once a season.
if one is committed to maintaining wet PB, then fine it will last a long long time. but most folks including me are lazy. they forget to put on battery tender. in short order wet PB are sulfated to point of non-recovery. I'd say most battery replacements are from going dead due to non-use vs wearing it out from too many cycles.
some modern bike have relatively high parasitic. those need tenders no matter what.

Actually, I didn't find IT very scary - but then I don't usually find films scary.
It's clowns in general that I don't like. I wouldn't even say they scared me, I just find them nauseating.
I don't understand what people see in clowns.
I quite enjoyed the last episode. Not scary, and I worked out where they were as soon as I saw it in the cupboard. I generally like the one-off episodes more than the 'continuing story' bit. It was the same with the X-Files - I much prefered the one-off stories.

On December 8 and 9, press and influencers were introduced to SignatureHomeTM, the premium service package from Time Warner Cable. In an exquisite townhouse on Bond St. and Bowery, visitors were taken on a tour where Personal Solution Advisors demonstrated how SignatureHomeTM seamlessly integrates their lives with their technology.
During the day the house was filled with visitors engaging with Time Warner Cable's Look Back, Whole House DVR, 3D Programming, and Wideband internet. TV Personality and Chef Tom Coliccho stopped by on Day 1 to prepare samples and discuss his new book and on Day 2 ESPN MLB Analyst Bobby Valentine visited the Man Cave and discussed 3D programming with visiting press.
On the night of the 9th, the townhouse transformed from a warm home to a chic, exclusive party complete with a Time Warner Cable red carpet, music by DJ Becka Diamond, drinks from mixologist Yusef Austin, and a fresh sushi bar. Talent included, but was not limited to: Nick Cannon, Martha Stewart, Laurie Holden, Jill Zarin, and Hannah Storm.
In addition to the press and media event, Time Warner Cable participated in community outreach by commissioning four artists to create their own interpretation of the Eye/Ear logo to be placed on designer t-shirts and sold through Brooklyn Denim Company. 50% of the proceeds will go to the non-profit organization Pop!Tech and Spark, a collaboration between Pop!Tech and Time Warner Cable's "Connect a Million Minds" initiative which promotes youth education in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Cable companies are often described as stodgy, uncreative brands that simply provide a necessary service. Through the design of OgilvyEntertainment, in tandem with Ketchum PR and Relevent, Time Warner Cable was able to bring their signature service experience to life. As Shelly Palmer from Fox 5 reported, "Time Warner Cable has done something sensational here. The big story here is about setting the state for the competition." The launch of SignatureHomeTM allowed Time Warner Cable to break the mold and provide a space for people to interact with a cable service as they would in the comfort of their own home.
SignatureHomeTM also elevated Time Warner Cable from trade and technology press to mainstream and trendy media. The blog, PaperMag, wrote, "That's right. A cable hosted a super chic soiree last night at their three-story, stunning townhouse on Bond Street…for the launch of TWC's new premium service, SignatureHome."
The strategy to position Time Warner Cable as a cable service that provides innovative consumer/media integration along with their premium services proved to be a very salient experience for all those who crossed the threshold at 54 Bond Street.

2001 Pontiac Grand Am Q&A
2001 Pontiac Grand Am Question: failed insp. NJ, OBD readi proceed needed catalytic conv and evap sys not ready
Need to know the exact things to do to get cat conv and evap sys to ready status. Failed insp, got car fixed, and failed again cuz the OBD driving procedures were not done. No owners manual to follow. One guy says just drive it. One guy says drive at 55 for 3 minutes stop jump on one foot and dance across the street!! ( paraphrasing) but seriously wtf am I supposed to do. Please help. 17 yr old daughters car and I'm going crazy here. Thanks, much appreciate the help!! Love, Anissa W. - AnissaW
Answer 1
Leave the car sit for about six to eight hours. (or overnight) The temperature when you go to start the car has to be 39f or higher or some of the evap tests won't run. Look for at least 45f if it was very cold overnight so that the vehicle has warmed up a bit before you start. Then follow these instructions as close as possible. Especially the three accelerations and then the two minute idle, that preps the catalyst for testing and the test runs at idle. Start the engine, and drive at low highway speeds for about 4 miles. (30-45mph) You can have some stops and idle periods during this time as in local city driving. Next accelerate to 55-70mph for at least five miles, maintain a constant speed. Slow to a stop. The drive again at the 30-45mph range for two miles. Once that is done, without stopping or hitting the brakes, accelerate to 45-50mph and then let the car slow down as you count to 20 seconds. (1-1000, 2-1000 etc). Speed back up 1/4 throttle to 45-50mph and decel for another twenty seconds. Do that a third time, only this time be prepared to pull off the road where you can stop and idle in gear for about thirty seconds, then put the transmission in park and idle for 120 seconds more. Now drive it back home or to the shop normally. If the tests didn't run and complete have someone pull trouble codes, especially the Mode7 which are called pending codes. If one of the two trip monitors (tests) ran and failed it will generate a pending code, which would mature into a check engine light and a full code the next time that it fails. HTH. - cardocIII

British artist Peter Suart has created five well-known one-man theatre works over the years. In his coming production, entitled "Melencolia", to be staged as part of the Boundless Multimedia Series in July, Suart will explore historical, philosophic and religious issues through speech, gesture, projections and recorded music.
Peter Suart lived in Hong Kong from 1985 to 1999. He co-founded the Box, a theatrical music ensemble, with Kung Chi-shing in Hong Kong in 1987. He writes the Tik and Tok books, which introduce children and adults to various mysteries, and illustrates classic fiction for the Folio Society in London, lately "Gulliver's Travels" and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
The play is based on three engravings by the acclaimed German artist Albrecht Drer, entitled "Melencolia I", "Knight, Death and the Devil" and "St. Jerome in His Study". The engravings act as a key to explore historical, philosophic and religious issues. Different incidents are woven together, sometimes in a derelict chapel in the middle of an English wood, sometimes in the lovely German city of Nuremberg. The story tells of a tragedy in Nuremberg before Germany was condemned for the Nazi sins of World War II. Here, in a lovely city built on the Pegnitz River, Drer made his masterworks. Here the arguments of Luther's reformation raged. Here the Nazi party held its rallies, here the Allied bombers dropped their explosives and incendiaries, and here, in a ruined city, the trials were conducted after the war. Should the innocents also bear the consequences of war?
"Melencolia" is one of the programmes in the Boundless Multimedia Series presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It will be performed in English, German, Latin and Cantonese at 8pm on July 12 and 13 (Friday and Saturday) at the Shouson Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Centre. Tickets priced at $200 and $160 are now available at URBTIX outlets, on the Internet and by credit card telephone booking. Half-price tickets are available for senior citizens aged 60 or above, people with disabilities and their minders, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) recipients (limited tickets for CSSA recipients are available on a first-come, first-served basis). Please refer to programme leaflets for details of the group booking discount up to 20 per cent.
For programme enquiries, please call 2268 7323 or visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/CulturalService/Programme/en/multi_arts/program_261.html. Ticketing enquiries can be made on 2734 9009 and credit card telephone bookings on 2111 5999. Tickets can also be booked online at www.urbtix.hk.
A series discount of 10 per cent is available for any purchase of standard tickets for "Melencolia" and GayBird's new media music production "CouCou on Mars" (June 14 to 16 at the Theatre, Hong Kong City Hall). Please refer to programme leaflets for more information.

Tom Hayden: One of the great scandals of the Long War in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is the often-deliberate fog of confusion smothering public knowledge of civilian casualties.
On the Art of Exit: Iraq and Afghanistan
John Peeler: Obama appears determined that the wars not overwhelm his domestic agenda, even as, pragmatically, he cannot walk away from either without exposing himself to withering political attacks. If Bush saw himself as a war president, Obama wants to be a reformer with two wars to manage.
What to Do About the Wars
Kyl Now Admits Obama Is 'Doing A Lot' To Secure the Border, But It's a Question of 'Strategy'
Andrea Nill: However, according to Kyl, securing the border is like the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. "It's not enough to say 'gee, we have a lot of people down there' — the question is but are you succeeding," explained Kyl. Kyl believes it boils down to "different strategies that need to be employed."
An Extraordinary Achievement
Joseph Palermo: President Barack Obama Tuesday morning gave Democrats a blueprint for what to do in November: back in your districts surround yourself with ordinary Americans who would be denied care if the federal government did not step in to bend the corporate imperatives of profits and share prices to fit the human needs of people who pay their taxes, play by the rules, and whose only "crime" is to have gotten sick.
What Obama Must Do, and Cannot
Name That Decade: the '00s, the Whatever Decade
Great pessimism during economic busts is as characteristically American as great optimism during boom times. The oh-ohs' whateverism is less fleeting and thus more dangerous. A culture of denial, disengagement, dissociation is dysfunctional. We need a culture of engagement and responsibility, even with all our traumas, distractions and high-tech toys.
Democrats and War
There is an admirable strain of pacifism among many Democrats, especially among Democratic activists. Every rational, compassionate individual dislikes war and seeks to avoid it whenever and wherever possible. Yet there are circumstances in which war can be justified from a moral standpoint as well as that of national interest.
Don Lemon & CNN, No to "Real Americans" – Yes to Real Journalism!
While I applaud Mr. Lemon for confronting Hardage, I wonder where his and corporate media's outrage has been for the last eight years while the patriotism of those who opposed George Bush was constantly assailed. Instead of challenging accusations against Bush dissenters, corporate media embraced them. In fact they indulged them.

Obama's Nixonian Dilemma with Iraq
by Brian R. Robertson With several public commentators and scholars comparing President-elect Barack Obama to Abraham Lincoln and John F.

Both inherited divisive wars from the previous administration and both campaigns […]

Nigerian Islamists Deny Involvement in Kidnap
Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Nigerian militant Islamic group Boko Haram said it has no links with the kidnappers of French tourists in Republic of Cameroon.
"We have nothing to do with the French people or their abductors," Sheikh Ibn Abdulazeez, spokesman of the group, told reporters in the northern city of Maiduguri.
Seven French tourists including four children, were seized on Feb. 19 at the village of Dabanga in neighboring Cameroon. The tourists were taken across the border into neighboring Nigeria, said Eloi Gabriel Essoa, a local official in Cameroon.

Occupy Tampa to leave Voice of Freedom Park soon after Republican convention
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Occupy Tampa is winding down its use of a West Tampa park and appears to be agreeing to vacate it by September. The parkâs owner, Joe Redner said Occupy Tampa will leave by September 15.
âI talked to them and they said âSure we will be out of there by the 15thâ. Itâs not being used by anybody but the homeless people. Thereâs no Occupy down there.â
Eilzabeth Toms is member of Occupy Tampa and Food Not Bombs, two groups that use Voice of Freedom Park. She said she doesnât speak for either group, but she anticipates the encampment to close up shop not long after the Republican convention leaves town at the end of the month.
"Personally, I thought it would be best, healthiest, if we closed down sleeping in the park after the RNC. Iâve been very adamant about using it because I think itâs very important that we have that space.â
Toms said the Occupy Tampa general assembly has not discussed a date to leave the park, but that it has agreed that when the tents are gone the group will use its funds to pressure wash the sidewalk and lay down new sod. She said it wouldnât surprise her if the City of Tampa tried to kick out the occupiers before the Republican convention.
"Because it gives us strength, it gives us a place to be, it gives protesters a place they can go to get information 24/7. They do want to curtail any power that we do have so I wouldnât be surprised if they make that push.â
The owner of Voice of Freedom Park says heâs sure protesters will stay in the park during the Republican convention, but Occupy Tampa wonât need the space after that.comments powered by Disqus

Too Tall...
Jane from Florida
The quality is good and I'm trying to sell the mirrors on craigslist right now. The only problem I had is the sink and faucets were good and I like them very much but when I put the cabinets at regular counter height the they were too tall. I couldn't use the medicine cabinet mirrors because they were too high and I couldn't open them because the faucets were right in front of them. It's ok though because I didn't want to use the medicine cabinets anyways but you had to buy the whole thing as a set.
Bathroom Vanity Set
ADA from Miami Shores, FL – Verified Buyer
Well made vanity set! Looks great so far in my master bathroom! The quality is good and it looks very modern. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Beautiful and Within Budget
Wayne from Lanse, MI – Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful piece of furniture that will certainly enhance the appearance of the master bathroom. Aside from looks, it is good value when you consider what is included - the sinks, tower faucets, mirrors and medicine cabinet, glass top, and free shipping. This is for new construction so I was able to build-in extra wall support for the vanity. Upon arrival, I saw that this was probably not necessary as the vanity is designed to be hung. The vanity arrived quickly and as scheduled. It looks great and the drawers really do provide ample storage space.
Looks great!
Meghan from Chicago, IL
We purchased this vanity for our bathroom remodel, and so far have nothing bad to say about it. It looks great and the cabinets seem sturdy and well made. And when you factor in all of the stuff that comes in the set (cabinets, sinks, faucets, medicine cabinets and shelves) its a pretty good deal. We only just installed it yesterday (or rather our contractor installed it because they had to reinforce the wall in order to hold it up) so we can't say anything about durability but so far we are really happy with it. The countertop was the only thing that didn't look exactly like the pictures- in the pictures, it looks like it is solid white, but compared to the truly white sinks, it is really slightly more cream colored and has subtle speckles (they just don't show up in pictures). This wasn't a problem for us at all and I actually think it gives it more character.
Very happy!
Barry from Westchester County, NYC
After 15 years, our plastic laminate built-in master bathroom vanity had to go! After much research, my wife and I made the decision and ordered this vanity. We are so pleased with the product! My three main concerns -quality, look, and value are all truly excellent. And delivery and installation were surprize free. Thank you
Great Product
Shelly from Columbia, MD – Verified Buyer
This product was even better then I expected it to be. The quality is very good, solid wood construction, the sinks and faucet fixtures are very nice and the medicine cabinets are large with good shelf height. The countertop has a pleasing speckled color. The doors have a graduated closing so no slamming of cabinet doors. I am very pleased with the product, it looks great in the master bathroom and I would definitely order from this manufacturer and seller again.

Watching out for these signs can save you property sale heartache
Last updated at 16:23, Friday, 04 November 2011
I was once advised not to pay too little for professional advice. This sounds like the sort of thing a professional with a vested interest would say, but over many years I have found it to be correct.
Cumbrians know that we usually get what we pay for, and the 'cheap' advice can turn out to be an expensive mistake.
One thing which makes solicitors at BPK very angry is when our advice is wasted – when we give a client a bill for work which comes to nothing and where the reason is that the other side in the transaction has just pulled out for no good reason.
It happens occasionally when conveying houses where the seller pulls out and the official word for this is apparently 'gazanging'. It also happens in commercial deals. More often it is the buyer who pulls out.
There is always the possibility of a lightning strike reason for pulling the plug but over the years we have observed certain behaviour patterns which can signal impending doom.
Any one of these patterns may be entirely acceptable and explicable, but if there are more – be aware.
1. Ask the buyer how the deal is to be funded. This may seem an intrusive question, but a fair-minded, genuine buyer can easily say he/she is a cash buyer, or obtaining a loan from a bank which is already approved in principle.
If the buyer does not have a plausible answer, you might want to reconsider.
Many 'cash buyers' do not understand that 'cash' means readily available funds, and having to sell another property, or obtain a loan do not qualify as 'cash'.
2. Watch for signs of genuine interest. Time wasters who just want to look over your property or business out of curiosity or for some more malevolent reason may not take enough time to view the features of the property and ask relevant questions.
3. One way to encourage good faith in commercial transactions is to require the purchaser to pay your legal bill up to a certain limit whether or not the sale actually concludes. So, if the purchaser pulls out for no good reason then at least your wasted legal fees are paid. If this has been negotiated by yourself or your agent, then get your solicitor to have it confirmed in writing by the purchaser's solicitors so there is no room to wriggle.
4. Beware of a purchaser who is paying too much attention to a peculiarity in your property. No property is ever perfect. For example, shared rights of access are never ideal, but as long as they are workable, everyone should be happy. If a purchaser is seeking some sort of copper-bottomed deal to remove all future risks to do with repair costs etc, then is it really just an excuse to pull out?
5. Watch out for signs of interest in how the purchaser is going to occupy the property. Are they checking out the services, planning etc to reflect the intended use? Where is the seller relocating to? Is there a plan?
6. Are proper enquiries being made at the right time? We had one case where the confident cash-buying purchaser made no arrangements for survey until two days before the agreed exchange date.
A bad survey result is a common reason for a purchaser pulling out, so ensure the survey is organised at the beginning.
7. Agree a timeline for the transaction in terms of enquiries – replies – exchange of contracts – completion. If a party then strays away from the agreed timetable for no good reason this may indicate the purchaser is about to pull out.

A stubborn mulch fire continued to burn early Tuesday morning in Fort Bend County.
The fire broke out about 6 p.m. Monday at the private mulch yard on U.S. 90 near Pitts Road, according to the Richmond Police Department.

A Biting Border Terrier and an Excitable Bulldog
Season 1 | Episode 18 | Bella and Jordan
Elisa & Nicole enjoy their large Italian family; however the family is not enjoying Bella anymore! Bella is a 2-year old Border Terrier that bites anyone that comes near the house or near the family. All entertaining at the Francescon home has stopped, because friends and family are afraid of Bella. Bella will not follow commands and seems untrainable. Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan will have a challenge on his hands with Bella!
Bill got Jordan from a breeder when Jordan was about 2-months old – he was the runt of the litter. Jordan is now 2-years old, but acts the same as he did when he was a puppy. Jordan is very excitable around everyone – he jumps up and down on them. Skateboards, basketballs and especially sprinkler hoses set him off. Jordan will bite the object repeatedly. Jordan seems to have an obsessive fascination with water. Bill thought that Bulldogs were usually very mellow, lazy types of dogs, but Jordan seems to be the exact opposite. Can Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan change Jordan into the calm / submissive dog Bill longs for? Tune in to find out…
