DALLAS — Kobe Bryant won the game … and social media.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban floated the idea on the radio about the Lakers using their amnesty, cost-cutting provision to cut Kobe Bryant this summer.
Purely hypothetical, and actually a logical example of the sort of business decision there is to be made in the new NBA economic climate, but the Lakers sure aren't doing it — and Bryant sure didn't appreciate it.
"Amnesty THAT," Bryant offered via his @kobebryant Twitter account after delivering 38 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in the Lakers' victory over the Mavericks on Sunday.
Bryant also made a mention of it in his postgame interviews in the locker room, expressing respect for longtime Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki (and his 30-point game Sunday) and calling him "one of my all-time favorites."
"I'm sure if he wants to amnesty Dirk, that's something that we'll entertain," Bryant said.
Cuban's response from his @mcuban Twitter account, which he used to show all sorts of venomous comments directed his way from Lakers fans, was two-fold:
1. "Nice to know there is a least one team and their players, outside of the Mavs, that listen to everything I say."
2. "But I do have to give props to @kobebryant for a great tweet. #Welldone."
Cuban had said on ESPN Radio in Dallas on Friday: "If you look at their payroll, even if Dwight (Howard) comes back, you've got to ask the question: Should they amnesty Kobe? You just don't know, right? It's the same reason I wouldn't get rid of Dirk.
"I'll take a hit for a season rather than get rid of Dirk. That's just it. I've made that commitment to him over the years, and he's returned that commitment. Maybe that's selfish, but that's just the way it is. So I'm just saying that hypothetically. When I say, 'Amnesty Kobe', I don't think they'd do it, but they've got some choices to make. Now, they're in a big market, but they're still limited. The Knicks, the same thing. Boston, same thing."
About his doubters as he plays now at age 34, Bryant said after the game Sunday: "It doesn't annoy me. It's revealing of the individual's ignorance. To think that 17 years of my career, is there anything about me that says I'm going to allow you guys to see me slow up? It's silly."

Tiffani Thiessen remains the only "Saved by the Bell" cast member who hasn't signed on for a reunion on Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" show, and she made a joke-y video for Funny or Die (see below) to explain why she's too busy to do it. Apparently she's making cat videos and helping NASA and some other whimsical things that I didn't find very funny. It's obviously supposed to show that she has a sense of humor about the situation, but it fails because if she had a sense of humor about it, she'd just go and do the stupid reunion. Dammit, Tiffani, an entire generation of Americans had to shut their brains off to like that retarded-ass show, the least you could do is indulge in our nostalgia. Who do you think you are? Jennie Garth?

I agree with Tim. She looks like she could be a little heftier south of the rack.
Anyway, even if she does show up to the reunion, I'm not watching Fallon's show.
By: The Magnificent Bastard07.29.2009 @ 3:57 PM
I swear I read "Tiffani Thiessen is too BUSTY for a reunion", in which case I would have said "her being busty is the only reason anyone is going to watch this crap".

Goals vs Expectations
How many times have these and other similar thoughts crossed our minds? Unfortunately, more than we consciously realize.
- "I am so disappointed in you"
- "I am really disappointed in your attitude"
- "I am extremely disappointed in your behavior"
In actuality, disappointment requires adequate planning! Clearly, there is a big difference between Goals and Expectations. A goal is a process that is self initiated and self maintained in order to achieve a desired result. All expectations depend on external actions that we generally don't have control over and the behavior of others. Expectations are a set up for disappointment and unfulfilled results.
For example, have you found yourself saying:
- "I expected you to do this"
- "I expected to win"
- "I expected that you would get that for me"
Case Study
Susan is overweight. She would like to "lose" some pounds. Currently Susan wears a size 16 and weighs 200 lbs at 5'7". She would like to be healthy and look good. Susan has tried in the past to lose weight. Affirming, "I want to lose 60 lbs" but has failed in part because nobody wants to lose or to die–t. So, in order to successfully achieve a desired result, let's look at a strategic goal setting process that actually works.
The Process of Realistic Goal Setting
Strategically and successfully understanding the difference between goals and expectation will have the desired ripple effect of producing many positive and far reaching results. Simply, set your goals, stay flexible, be willing to refine them and leave your expectations behind!

Want to see how permaculture thinking can influence a forest garden?
Come on over to Kent for this free event hosted by Natural Flow. We will do some permaculture gardening, learn new stuff together, have fun and get active in the Quadrangle forest garden.

The programme of events for the day will look like this:

Song: David Bowie Artist: Phish Album: Junta This is one of my favorite Phish basslines. Definitely funky. This is only the structured part of the song. The rhythm isn't that hard to figure out if you have a recording. T=slap P=pop X=muted slap Main Line: G --------4h6-----2-----4--------4h6-----2---4-- o P P P P P P o D ---------------------------------------------- A --2/4-4------------------2/4-4-----------X---- o T T T T T o E ------------3h5---5h7--------------3h5-------- T T T This is played four times before the walk-up part. I add the muted slap for a little variety, but you could keep repeating the first half of the pattern if you want to. Walk-Up: G ----------------6h7h9-- D --------------7-------- A ----4h5h7-------------- E --5-------------------- After the walk-up is played, the whole thing is repeated and the second time around it goes into a jam. After the jam is over, it comes back to the original pattern, except everything moves up 3 frets (including the walk-up). Note: this is my first time putting tab on the net, and I would appreciate any feedback. If you find this useful, please let me know. I will post more Phish basstabs if I get a positive response.

- More people showed up in the street compared to yesterday in that time of the day. Still just like yesterday most of them are young teenagers and kids who came from school to join "let's hit the cops game"
- The smell of tear gas grenades was all over the place.
- Protesters hurled rocks at the CSF and the CSF hurled at them rocks, chairs , computers as well tear gas grenades in return !!
- The CSF occupied the rooftops of the two schools in Youssef El Gendy street from what I understood. I could not go there as I was hit in my arm by a rock thrown by some CSF conscript.
- The CSF threw the Lycee school's furniture including computers.
- It was not a big surprise that some parts of Lycee were torched because of the Molotov cocktails. It was matter of time. I predicted it since I saw the scene in the morning.
- The Lycee's KG's chairs were gathered when I was there to be kept away for the school.
- There were injured , most of their injuries in the head. They were transported to some field hospital or Clinic by bikers.
- A 10 years old kid standing outside the street told me not to go because "the army" was beating the protesters , I told him that there was no army and it was only the police. He told me that his friend is there and he did not approve that he would go there. He also told me that his buddy told him that "he is going there for the sake of Egypt !!".
- speaking about young generations and the future of Egypt , here is a statement issued by the Lycee El Horreya students. The LHC students demand the dismissal of the school for allowing the CSF to use and to destroy the school's properties. The students will start an open strike till their demand is met.
|The Lycee´s students´statement
- Well I think the students will be forced to have an open strike if the school is torched !!Anyhow I am proud of those kids.
BY the way here is a preliminary list of detainees' names arrested in the clashes.The ministry of interior announced that over 120 suspects have been arrested in the clashes.
I do not want to speak about Ahmed Gaber today , seriously I do not want tonight. By the way the MB boys are silent online. They have not received the orders yet.

I love when I find a good food product, like a really good food product.
A couple of years ago, I was desperate for blueberry pancakes, but blueberry season was over. I wasn't going to pay $6 for a tiny 1/2 pint of tasteless blueberries. As I strolled down the frozen veggie/fruit section, I saw a new product in my store (those always catch my eye).
So I picked up the blue bag of blueberries and brought them home. Not having much hope for them, as I am not a big fan of frozen fruit, I threw them into my pancake batter.
The strangest thing happened when I bit into my first bite. I was instantly transported back to a trip to Cape Cod when I was a little girl. I am serious. One bite and all the memories flooded back. I remember picking blueberries off of wild blueberry bushes and literally eating them till we were blue in the face.
The minute I was done shoving my face with delicious blueberry pancakes, I looked up the company online and wrote them a letter. I gushed about how amazing I thought their blueberries were and them memories they evoked. The wrote a very nice note back and told me that they get letters often get those same types of letters!
So my Favorite Things for Favorite Things Thursday this week is obviously these delightful wild blueberries from Wyman's
***Remember Favorite Things Thursdays are NOT sponsored posts. Just things I love***
And onto the winner of my Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor Giveaway….

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Getting "Too Ratchet" For VH1; Producers Increase Securityby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta producers have reportedly beefed up security during shoots, out of concern that the hit VH1 reality show is getting "too ratchet."
A good thing, too, for Lil Scrappy. The cast member and co-star Erica Pinkett recently had to be separated by the new task force, averting bloodshed.
Yes, Erica Pinkett is a woman, but after she threw wine in Scrappy's face during a dinner last week, s--t got so heated that the new hires had to break it up.
Security is now so tight - think one guard for every cast member! - on all shoots for the program after producers feared things would become "too ratchet."
It's not just cast-on-cast violence at issue here, but civilians trying to attack the show's stars. These things happen when you watch Love & Hip Hop online.
As one cast member said in a quote that will live in infamy for as long as we live:
"That s--t gets ratchet and now the bodyguards shutting that s--t down."
The more you know. So just make love, not war, L&HH cast members.
Speaking of which ... see Mimi Faust sex tape stills after the jump:

In-depth Analysis of VoIP Networks
Looking for an affordable monitoring and analysis solution? Try CommView or CommView for WiFi, network analyzers for wired and wireless networks that include a VoIP analysis module that is suited for real-time capturing and analyzing VoIP events, such as call flow, signaling sessions, registrations, media streams, errors, etc. By visualizing this data and assessing voice quality, this tool helps you boost productivity in debugging VoIP networks, software, and hardware.
CommView's VoIP analyzer supports SIP 2.0 and H.323 signaling protocols and RTP 2.0 media streams and many widespread codecs. In addition to real-time analysis, the analyzer can be used for post-capture import and analysis of capture logs in a number of formats.
CommView runs on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or Windows Server 2008 / 2012 (both 32- and 64-bit versions). A WiFi version for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac networks is also available.
- Real-time and post-capture analysis of signaling sessions and RTP streams. Seeing the details of every VoIP call allows identifying and resolving connectivity problems on the networking and protocol levels. Call details include source and destination IP addresses, time of the beginning and end of a conversation, call duration, call status, quality score, user agent types, as well as additional, protocol-specific details such as authentication information and codec types.
- Visualization of call quality. Watch the charts and diagrams to understand the quality problems that may affect your VoIP network: packet loss, jitter, or sequence errors. Monitor MoS and R-factor for every call.
- Actual call playback. The MOS and R-Factor do not tell the whole story about the quality of a particular VoIP system. These measurements are merely suggested baseline points for expected call quality in a VoIP deployment. The ability to play back actual conversations is essential for successful VoIP deployments. VoIP analyzer provides the means to record and play back calls to assess voice quality by simply listening to the voice.
- Endpoints. Heterogeneous VoIP networks may have multiple types of endpoints with varying degrees of compatibility with the VoIP server and between each other. CommView's VoIP analyzer identifies and displays the model names of endpoint devices, allowing tracking down connectivity problems and often fixing them with a simple software or firmware update without hunting around the network.
- Bandwidth utilization. Being able to see network bandwidth utilization in real-time is essential for understanding the difference between the optimum and current environment, often enlightening network administrators that a simple traffic shaping can essentially increase the quality of the calls transferred over that network.
- Reporting and logging. Reporting and logging provide benefits of greater statistics samples, better usability, and visibility of essential issues.
CommView is brought to you by TamoSoft. TamoSoft develops cutting-edge security and network monitoring software for the Internet and Local Area Networks, providing clients with the ability and confidence to meet the challenges of tomorrow's technology. Keeping pace with the industry trends, we offer professional tools that support the latest standards, protocols, software, and hardware in both wired and wireless networks.

Trading Psychology and emotions play the biggest role in your daily trading. Let me elaborate on this more in this article.
Dr. Van Tharp, a leading psychologist, is very well known for breaking down the trading process into three categories that affect traders. He categorises them by importance as follows:
- Trading strategy (10%)
- Money management (30%)
- Psychology (60%)
The fact that trading strategy is the least important factor in Dr. Van Tharp's trading process above, this suggests that regardless of how successful your trading strategy is, your psychology is the key to being successful in trading.
In one of my previous articles we looked at Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and how it can affect your trading. Fear & Greed are the two emotions that have a negative impact on your trading journey. Experienced traders know that the greed makes you to try to take too much profit (when it is not there) and you end up with less profit or loss. Similarly, fear causes you to cut your positions quickly in loss or less profit where you could make much more.
Another important psychological factor is the 'Ego'. We all have an Ego. We all want to be right. A trader highly influenced by his own ego will never admit that he/she is wrong. This means that, he will never be able to learn from his/her mistakes as he is unable to see those mistakes in the first place. This will ultimately result on more losses and get him/her out of the game all together.
Another aspect of emotional trading can be summarised as 'revenge trading'. In revenge trading, the focus of the trading shifts from finding the best trading setups (according to trader's own strategy) to fastest way of recouping losses. The trader focuses on winning the losses back (very similar to a loser gambler attitude) and ends up losing more money.
The final aspect of emotional trading is over trading. This mainly happens after big wins and the trader greed kicks in for more profits. The whole situation ends up with losing the previous gains or accumulating big losses in the process. This is a Greed based human behaviour that can be seen in experienced and inexperienced traders. Difficult to control but not impossible.
So how can we cope with our own Psychology and Emotions? You heard the trading term: "be like a robot" that comes to mind. Easier said than done! The trading algos are much more profitable than humans (when they are using a profitable strategy) for one reason only, they cut out the emotion from the equation!
As a human trader, your only weapon is discipline. You might know about what to do but applying discipline to your trading will require time and experience. As good old Warren Buffet says: "You can't make a baby in a month by getting 9 women pregnant".
My personal advice is as follows:
- The start point should be working on your ego. When you are wrong, admit that you are wrong. This will be difficult at first, but in time you will see the benefits of doing so. You will be able to see your mistakes. What went right and what went wrong with that particular trade.
- Have a trading diary. We are humans, we forget! My suggestion to especially new traders is having an excel sheet and note down every single REAL trade that they have done (not interested in paper trades as they do not reflect the emotion of losing real money). Make sure to have a separate column for your notes, note down everything why you entered in that trade, why you exit? did you follow your initial plan (this is very important), if not why not? Take as much notes as possible so you can go back and see what happened to your trade. What went well and what went wrong. The pattern will start to emerge when you have at least 100 or more trades, you will be able to see the bigger picture. I Cannot stress this enough, HAVE A TRADING DIARY (even if you are an experienced trader).
- Be DISCIPLINED! Once you have a working strategy, follow it to the letter! It is not always easy to do so, but you will get better in time if you apply discipline. Also make sure to have some trading goals (my article on setting goals can be found here)
- Set your expectation accordingly! Trading is not easy, do not expect easy money. Know that you will have to work for your money. A lot of hard work needed to be a successful trader.
- Find out what works for you. Be honest with yourself. If you are overtrading, what is the best thing to do? Some people can control themselves in front of the PC, some simply cannot. After a successful trading session, I often take a coffee break to clean up my mind and more importantly my emotions. If it is a particularly good trading day, I go for a drive in my car. Whatever works for you. Perhaps go dip in the water, have a coffe, drive, call a friend, etc.
- Enjoy what you do! Yes, trading is hard work but there is nothing more satisfying then knowing your strategy works, you were disciplined and executed that trade according to the plan (or avoided that big loss successfully).
I hope it helps. Have a great weekend.

Nanjing mayor Ji Jianye placed under disciplinary investigation
Ji Jianye, seized in Jiangsu capital, is linked to businessman under investigation; he was formerly party chief of Jiang Zemin's hometown
The mayor of Nanjing has been placed under Communist Party investigation for "economic crimes", a euphemism for corruption, sources and state media said.
The action against Ji Jianye comes amid an ongoing anti-graft campaign which has intensified since President Xi Jinping took the helm of the party in November.
The news portal affiliated with the party mouthpiece People's Daily reported late last night that Ji, who occupies a vice-ministerial position as the mayor of the city, the Jiangsu provincial capital, was seized in recent days by party disciplinary officials.
Ji made his last public appearance on Tuesday, attending a meeting to discuss a local river project, according to the official microblog of the city's water department.
A source said he was informed that Ji was seized by the disciplinary officials yesterday morning.
"Ji was detained and taken to Beijing for further investigation," the person said.
Another source told the South China Morning Post that the authorities briefed a small group of Nanjing officials yesterday on the probe against Ji.
Before becoming Nanjing mayor in late 2009, Ji, 56, was mayor and later the party chief of Yangzhou , the hometown in Jiangsu of former president Jiang Zemin .
Xi has vowed to target "tigers and flies", indicating that both high-ranking and lowly officials are under the party's scrutiny.
A number of senior party officials have been detained in recent months. Among them are Jiang Jiemin , ex-chairman of state oil and gas giant the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and disgraced former Sichuan deputy party secretary Li Chuncheng .
In August, the Post revealed party leaders had agreed to open a corruption investigation into former security tsar Zhou Yongkang , also a Jiangsu native and once a CNPC executive.
The People's Daily online report quoted unnamed sources as saying the amount of money involved in Ji's case may exceed 20 million yuan (HK$25.3 million). Citing internal sources, it said Ji was implicated in the investigation of Zhu Xingliang , a prominent businessman in Jiangsu.
Zhu, the founder of Suzhou Gold Mantis Construction Decoration, was detained in July. The company said at the time that Zhu was "assisting a procuratorate with an investigation".
The report, citing an anonymous Nanjing official, also said Ji initiated massive urban renovation projects during his days in Yangzhou, with work on the projects often tendered to contractors with ties to him. He embarked on a similar renovation spree when he moved to Nanjing.
The unnamed official said the fall of Ji was "expected".
Wang Qishan head of the party's anti-graft agency, yesterday told provincial and ministerial chiefs corruption problems should be rooted out and dealt with as soon as possible to prevent them becoming serious.

Rollin Oliver, the man accused of killing a Denver police officer, claimed to be a member of the Park Hill Bloods street gang when he was booked into jail, according to documents obtained by The Denver Post.
Oliver, 21, is accused of shooting Officer Celena Hollis in the head as she attempted to help break up a fight between two groups of people during the City Park Jazz concert Sunday night.
Hollis, a 32-year-old single mother of a 12-year-old daughter, was working off-duty as part of a security detail at the concert when she was shot. She was in uniform.
"As to whether 'gang activity' was a factor in the Sunday evening tragedy, it is important to reiterate that this is an ongoing investigation involving a large crowd of people, and therefore, a high risk of jeopardizing a prosecution by releasing information before witnesses are located and interviewed," said Denver Safety Manager Alex Martinez on Tuesday in an e-mail.
Martinez said his department, which includes the police, sheriff's and fire departments, now releases more information about gang activity than it has in the past.
At a briefing Monday for news media, Police Chief Robert White said investigators didn't know whether Oliver was a gang member. He did acknowledge that investigating officers had been told that the confrontation that led to the shooting was sparked by gang tensions.
On Tuesday, White said he was given conflicting information after the arrest and had heard that Oliver had alternately claimed and denied gang affiliation.
"I am not going to give out information unless I am sure it is right," he said.
Mayor Michael Hancock's spokeswoman, Amber Miller, said he wasn't aware when he spoke Monday that Oliver had claimed gang affiliation. Miller, too, said releasing information before witnesses are found and interviewed could compromise the case.
Terrance Roberts — head of Prodigal Son Initiative, which works to keep kids out of gangs — said officials are reluctant to talk about gang activity in Denver.
"I don't think officials say, 'Let's try to ignore it.' I think they're more caught up on messaging," he said. "A lot of cities boast about tourism dollars. I just think this is something they don't want to talk about."
Hancock — who grew up in Park Hill, where Bloods have a presence — has more familiarity with the difficulties that people face in gang-infested neighborhoods than most, Roberts said.
"I understand he has a million issues coming at him at once, but this issue for the northeast Denver community is a persistent issue," Roberts said. "It does not ebb and flow as the official messaging continues to imply."
Hancock on Monday met with a number of community groups and representatives to listen to their reactions to the incident and to better understand the current climate in the community. He ordered a full assessment of how the city is dealing with youth violence.
"We need to be focused," he said Tuesday during a meeting with the City Council. "We have to send a strong message. Parents and community members, we have to work to get the weapons out of the hands of the young people."
Oliver was being held Tuesday on suspicion of first-degree murder. He has not been formally charged.
A person tweeting as Rollin Oliver under the handle Boog_Da_Bank started an account last year that proclaims, "Sandra made me … n da brickz raised me!"
Sandra is the name of Oliver's mother, and several family members referred to Oliver on Monday as Boogie.
The icon for the Twitter handle is a photo of Oliver in a red T-shirt pointing down at a giant letter P filled in with the words "Park Hill."
Most of his few tweets appear innocuous, such as "Jesus is my big homie!!!!" and posts about music and Thanksgiving. On several occasions, he replaces the letter "c" with the letter "k," a common practice among Blood gang members meant as a sign of disrespect to the rival Crips.
Oliver references marijuana on both his Twitter and Facebook accounts, writing about "Broncoz n a blunt" on the former.
He lists his employer on his Facebook page as "Park Hill pharmaceuticals."
Asked whether her nephew was in a gang Monday, Oliver's aunt Roxanne Shaw hesitated.
"Not that I know of," she said. "I really don't know what he was doing."
She did say that she had called the police on him and suspected he dealt drugs.
"I kept trying to talk to him," Shaw said. "I said, 'Do you want to get yourself in trouble? Then stop.' "

More than 90 percent of adults snack between meals and that's a good thing, if done right! Most dieticians recommend eating a couple healthy snacks per day, given overall good food choices are being made. Selecting protein rich snacks can help improve satiety and promote weight loss or maintenance. But for athletes, protein-rich snacks also have an effect on workout recovery and future performance -protein is the fuel that supports muscle repair and growth and provides long-lasting energy throughout the day.
Because of protein's role in these areas, it's the only macro this number avoiding girl counts. Time and time again you've heard me say I aim for 25 to 30 grams at every meal and also the same amount within 30 minutes of an intense workout or long run. However, for snacks after a light workout, in the middle of a regular day, or just because "I'm hungry," I take the protein consumption down a bit at snack time – 12 to 14 grams per snack is perfect for me. My new favorite protein snack is the Quest Beyond Cereal Bars that I got at Vitamin Shoppe. Read on to find out more about high-protein snacks and these yummy new bars from Quest.
While there are plenty of protein snack options around that are great for athletes, many, such as low-fat dairy or hard-boiled eggs, need to be refrigerated and are not practical for gym life. Protein bars are a great way to work more protein into the diet and the Beyond Cereal Bars from Quest offer the sweet, comforting crunch of a traditional cereal bar (ugh, like those high sugar ones with only 1 gram protein I used to feed my kids), but with a higher-protein, lower-carb nutritional profile.
Once I started really looking at the protein in my "protein" snacks, I realized many of my grab-and-go selections where not really as protein-packed as I had assumed. For example, for a 110-calorie portion of the following foods:
- Scant ¼ cup Greek-yogurt-covered raisins had only 1 gram of protein,
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter and 2 thin crackers has only 4 grams protein
- 14 dry-roasted almonds had only 4 grams of protein
But, a Quest Beyond Protein Cereal Bar, for the same 110 calories, contains 12g protein, only 2-3g net carbs, 6-7g fiber and 8g of a new naturally-occurring sweetener called Allulose.
So, you may be wondering how are these bars so sweet and still low carb? Beyond Cereal Bars are sweetened with Allulose, a new sweetener that is found in small quantities in nature in foods like maple syrup, figs and raisins. The taste and bakery texture of these bars had me fooled for traditional sugar – but with 1/10th the calories of traditional sugar it's a more sensible snack that has a place in my fit-focused diet. Understanding the Nutrition Label on products that use Allulose is a little confusing because the FDA requires the sugar alternative to be listed by gram weight under "sugars" even though it has 90 percent fewer calories that most other sugars.
These protein cereal bars are the perfect snack after a light workout, for a quick breakfast, or when you need a little something sweet to nosh between meals and don't have the appetite or muscle repair needs for the 20g protein in a full Quest bar. Quest Beyond Cereal Bars come in three scrumptions flavors – Chocolate, Waffle and Cinnamon Roll. EVERYONE loves the flavors!Click here to try Quest Beyond Cereal Bars now at Vitamin Shoppe
I'm also personally hosting a $25 Visa Gift Card giveaway so that you can head over to your local Vitamin Shoppe or GNC to purchase these yummy new protein cereal bars from Quest (or spend however you wish). To enter, follow the simple Rafflecopter instructions.

24 arrested in child support warrant round-up
April 13, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.
Updated April 12, 2011 at 11:13 p.m.
The Office of the Attorney General of Texas solicited the help of Victoria and Calhoun counties sheriff's offices in rounding up locals with unpaid child support.
The sheriff's offices assist Child Support Division investigators with locating parents about once a year.
"Over the weekend and the first part of the week, we put most of our officers on it," Victoria County Chief Deputy Terry Simons said.
The Victoria County office arrested 20 people on suspicion of contempt of court.
They could spend up to six months in jail, and if they post cash bonds for release, the money will be paid to custodial parents and children who are owed the child support.
Calhoun County completed their warrant roundup on Monday, arresting four people, Sheriff B.B. Browning said.
Browning said this is the last step the attorney general takes in collecting child support back-pay.
"They don't want to put them in jail because they want the money out of them," Browning said. "If they go to jail, they lose their jobs."
But, when it comes to issuing a warrant for their arrest, the amount of money owed usually reaches into the thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, Simons said.
Browning said if delinquent payers contact the attorney general, the office will help them work out payments.
"People try to ignore it, and that's what gets them in trouble," he said.
The Victoria County child support office, which covers Calhoun County and nine other counties, collected about $50.7 million last year, according to a press release.

Investing Myths and Disjunction Fallacy
Here are the results from a twitter poll I ran yesterday.
It was a small sample size. Only 30 people. I assume most were financially literate.
I wonder what people thought when they saw the results, after answering the poll. Did they feel more or less sure of their answer? Did they feel validated or perhaps confident in their contrary position?
It seems most people believe that a 50 percent loss takes a 100 percent to make it whole again. That a 90 percent loss takes a massive 900 percent to offset it.
That my friends is bullshit. It is one of the most widely perpetuated myths in investing.
Investing is a parallel pursuit. A 50 percent loss in one investment is offset by a 50 percent gain in another investment of the same size. A 90% loss is made whole by a 90% gain.
Yes if you loose 80% of your total portfolio you'll need to make 400% to get back to scratch. While that concept is important, I consider focusing on outcomes for individual investments more crucial. I've always liked the saying, look after your pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
There is no need to be terrified of losses. The upside is infinite the maximum downside is only 100 percent (ignoring leverage). I don't wish to encourage you to be a bag holder and take big losses. My aim is simply to make you wonder why almost everyone is hell bent on convincing you that deepening losses require exponentially higher returns to offset.
Now for anyone thinking, but you didn't say an investment I thought you were talking about a portfolio, let's talk about disjunction fallacy.
In short disjunction fallacy is thinking that a member is more likely to be part of a subset rather than a member of the set which contains the subset. In the above poll, both 50% and 100% are subsets of it depends.
This is similar to the better known Linda effect or conjunction fallacy, when people guess that the odds of two events co-occurring is greater than either one occurring alone.
The return required to make you whole depends on whether you're considering a portfolio or an investment and the position size of each investment.

A hefty loss of $8.8 billion, or 90 cents per share, was the headline figure in Bank of America's second-quarter earnings report Tuesday, but Chief Executive Brian Moynihan stressed that the bank's underlying business is stronger than it seems on the surface.
"Obviously, the solid performance in our underlying businesses continues to be clouded by the costs we are absorbing from our legacy mortgage issues," Moynihan said in the earnings release, and to be fair he does have a point.
Excluding the mortgage charges, tied to a settlement with investors in mortgage-backed securities related to the firm's Countrywide Financial business, BofA booked net income of $3.7 billion, or 33 cents per share, up from last year. Revenue came in at $13.5 billion, down sharply due to the $14 billion in rep and warranty provisions taken to resolve the Countrywide issues.
BofA touted $147 billion in credit it extended during the second quarter, and said its balance sheet firmed up with risk-weighted assets declining $41 billion. The bank also said its regulatory capital ratios were better than the 8% its previous guidance indicated, with Tier 1 common equity of 8.2%. There has been some concern that BofA could have as much as a $50 billion capital hole under the new rules prescribed by the Basel Committee, but Barclays Capital's Jason Goldberg said Monday he expects the bank can meet that mark through retained earnings as the capital rules are phased in.
On the company's conference call, investors will expect to hear more on the bank's plans to return capital to shareholders. The bank paid a penny dividend in the second quarter, but the Federal Reserve turned back its plan to hike that payment earlier this year.
Shares of BofA were eyeing a cross back into double-digits Tuesday morning, up 2.4% to $9.95 in pre-market trading. Fellow banks Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs are also due to report earnings Tuesday.

A Brief Blog Profile: Compassion
by Thomas Hynes
There are a lot of Christian blogs out there. They cover a lot of ground. Some talk about family. Some talk about personal finance. Some even talk about fried chicken sandwiches. The blog Compassion, however, talks about something else. As the name might suggest, they deal with charity. You know? The stuff Jesus Christ was all about. It can be easy to forget that. But, at it's core, Christianity is about helping others. The same can be said for this blog.
On the blog, you can read about the difference between fostering development as opposed to dependence. Sounds a lot like that old expression. Give a man a fish, he'll eat today. Teach a man to fish, and he'll never go hungry. (Wonder who said that one originally...) This post presents 6 questions every person should ask themselves before getting involved with something like sponsoring a child in need. And this post asks readers to think about what inspires them the most.
At this point, I should probably mention that Compassion is part of a larger charitable organization. They connect sponsors to children in need. In full disclosure, this is not just a blog. The main goal, I'm betting, is to get more people to support children in need. And, you know what? I'm totally ok with that.
Reader's Comments
Thanks for posting and getting Compassion out there. I am a full supporter and they are a great organization!

And with cores-per-socket (and evennodes-per-socket) going up seemingly every day, multi-socketsystems will likely be an ever smaller percentage of newsystems.A virtual machine where live migration to another physical machinemay occur is another good example where tsc_reliable should be 0.Xen now has a VM config feature that says "migration is disallowed"for this reason; the Invariant TSC flag is always off for a VMunless this "no_migrate" flag is set (or rdtsc is emulated).> really.

But please propose how that will be doneas the current software choices are inadequate and the CPUdesigners have finally fixed the problem for the vast majorityof systems. I am already aware of some enterprise softwarethat is doing its best to guess whether TSC is reliable bylooking at CPU families and socket counts, but this is doomedto failure in userland and is something that the kernel knowsand should now expose.Thanks,Dan

Ducks' Bruce Boudreau not surprised by Washington Capitals moves
April 26, 2014
By Helene Elliott
DALLAS - Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said Saturday he wasn't surprised that the Washington Capitals - his previous employer - declined to renew the contract of general manager George McPhee and dismissed coach Adam Oates after the Capitals missed the playoffs this season. Boudreau worked for McPhee and coached the Capitals from 2007 until Nov. 28, 2011, when he was fired. Boudreau was hired by the Ducks two days later. Here's a link to the Washington Post's story on the departures of McPhee and Oates.
Washington wants 2024 Olympic Games
August 27, 2013
By David Wharton
No stranger to the art of campaigning, Washington has thrown its hat into the ring as a candidate for the 2024 Olympics. The announcement came Tuesday as District of Columbia officials said they have formed a nonprofit group that will seek to bring the Summer Games back to the United States for the first time since 1996 in Atlanta. "We are the only major capital city in the world not to have hosted the Games yet," said Bob Sweeney, president of DC 2024. Washington joins Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Tulsa, Okla., as places where officials have openly discussed their interest in hosting the Olympics.
Washington Capitals fire coach, decline to renew contract of GM

By Dan Loumena
The underachieving Washington Capitals began making changes at the top Saturday, firing Adam Oates as coach and not renewing the contract of George McPhee, the general manager and a vice president. The NHL club made the announcements in a statement Saturday morning. The Capitals missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007 despite having the league's top goal scorer in Alex Ovechkin, who scored 51 times this season. Oates had one year left on his three-year contract. The Capitals were 38-30-14 this season and went 65-48-17 under Oates in his two seasons.

Letters: Washington's debt is our problem
July 20, 2012
Re "The fiscal cliff," Editorial, July 18 The Times writes of a deal in Congress on the Bush tax cuts that "assures the public that Washington can put its fiscal house in order. " Therein lies the problem. People think of the government as separate from the governed - the people who pay taxes and feed the machine. It is not Washington's fiscal house; it is the people's fiscal house. It is incumbent on "the people" to understand the consequences of their demands for government support and that it is "we the people" who take the money out of our left pocket and put it in our right pocket.

Trip from Washington to New York will get Angels on track
April 23, 2014
By Mike DiGiovanna
WASHINGTON - The Angels won't be traveling back in time Wednesday night, but it might feel that way. Instead of flying to New York after their game against the Washington Nationals, they will board a chartered Amtrak train in the nation's capital and ride the rails to Penn Station. "I'm excited, man," reliever Joe Smith said. "It's like the movie 'The Natural,' when everybody was taking the train. It's one of those forgotten things. I know the stories the older guys tell me, and they say it's a lot of fun. It's something different from getting on a plane.
Angels fall to Washington Nationals, 5-4, as closer falters
April 23, 2014
By Mike DiGiovanna
WASHINGTON - The Angels were three outs away from their first series sweep in the nation's capital since 1962, their first winning record in 386 days and a highly anticipated Amtrak train ride to New York City when closer Ernesto Frieri drove them off the rails Wednesday night. Frieri, whose hold on his ninth-inning job was tenuous, failed to protect a three-run lead in a stunning 5-4 walk-off loss to the Washington Nationals, leaving Manager Mike Scioscia little choice but to replace Frieri as closer with setup man Joe Smith.

April 23, 2014
By Mike DiGiovanna
AT THE PLATE: The Angels scored twice in the sixth to take a 2-1 lead when Mike Trout walked, Albert Pujols hit a run-scoring double and Erick Aybar hit a run-scoring single. David Freese ended an 0-for-14 skid when he doubled to left-center and later scored on a wild pitch in the seventh, and Trout had a run-scoring single in the ninth. Pujols, who also singled in the first, struck out with the bases loaded to end the ninth. Aybar was seven for 12 in the series to raise his average from .175 to .240.
Albert Pujols celebrates 'special moment' with 500th homer
April 22, 2014
By Mike DiGiovanna
WASHINGTON - It was a majestic blast, exploding off the bat as if shot from a cannon, and as the ball arced its way toward the outer reaches of Nationals Park, it looked as if it might put a dent in the Capitol dome beyond the left-field wall. Albert Pujols doesn't hit many cheap home runs, and there was no doubt the shot the Angels slugger launched in the fifth inning of Tuesday night's 7-2 win over the Washington Nationals would make history. Some 18,000 men have played major league baseball since 1876, and only 26 of them have hit 500 home runs.
En route to Asia, Obama to survey Washington landslide damage
April 22, 2014
By Christi Parsons
WASHINGTON -- President Obama, on his way to a weeklong trip to Asia, is headed to Washington state Tuesday to survey damage from the landslide and meet with survivors, first responders and local officials one month after the tragedy. More than 40 people died in the disaster, which claimed more than two dozen homes on the outskirts of Oso, a small town an hour's drive from Seattle. The medical examiner's office is still working to identify victims of the devastation. The visit will be Obama's only domestic stop on his way to Asia, where he plans to talk about trade opportunities with foreign leaders and discuss the U.S. role in regional security.

OSO, Wash. - Standing beneath a banner proclaiming "Oso Strong" one month after the deadly landslide, President Obama told the residents of the hard-hit Stillaguamish Valley that the nation is grieving with them as they struggle to rebuild homes, businesses and families. "There are still families who are searching for loved ones," Obama said after an aerial tour of the devastation aboard the presidential helicopter Marine One and a visit with survivors and first responders. "There are families who have lost everything, and it's going to be a difficult road ahead for them.
Obama names Washington veteran Neil Eggleston as White House counsel

WASHINGTON -- President Obama is turning to Neil Eggleston, a veteran of the Whitewater and Iran-Contra confrontations between Capitol Hill and the White House, to help guide his administration through what could be stormy years ahead with Congress. Obama on Monday named Eggleston, a Washington lawyer who specializes in representing high-profile public figures in government investigations, as the next White House counsel. He replaces Kathryn Ruemmler, who has been seeking to vacate the White House hot seat for months.

This past Tuesday evening, the Auburn Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide took a trip to meet in Montgomery at Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Rays AA minor league team, the Montgomery Biscuits. For years now, the two teams have met in March in a non-conference rival game called the Capital City Classic. Auburn won the contest 8-3 and advanced to 8-6 on the season, while Alabama's record fell to 5-7. Auburn has won each contest the past four years and has a record of 4-0 in Montgomery for the Capital City Classic against Alabama.
The Auburn Tigers took the early lead with placement hitting, and capitalized with men on base. They played well under pressure, scoring their first two runs with two outs. Auburn also wasn't afraid to steal some bases. Creede Simpson had two steals on the night and helped bring their total stolen bases for the season to 44.
The Tigers are known for their speed this year, so it's no surprise when their top five hitters take off for second base. The hard part is gunning them down. Defensively, sophomore catcher Blake Austin has no problem with that when the opponents have men on base.
Something that Auburn is not known for is their pitching. Over the past few weeks, the Tigers have struggled in that area. However, for the weekends, they found a gem in freshman pitcher Daniel Koger. On what is known as "Championship Sunday" in Auburn, the past few years have always found their best pitching on the last day of each series. In the MAX Capital City Classic game Tuesday night, senior pitcher Jon Luke Jacobs (3-0) showed that this year's pitching staff is nothing to sneeze at. He threw 6.2 innings before senior relief pitcher Justin Bryant came in to close out the game and get the save.
Sophomore JUCO transfer Dan Glevenyak shined as the MVP of the 2012 Capital City Classic, which was well-deserved as he went 3-4 with 3 RBIs and his first home run of the season.
While the Alabama Crimson Tide has been struggling during the early season, a match-up between Auburn and Alabama always provides good contest no matter what sport it is. Senior outfielder Taylor Dugas played outstanding defense in centerfield, which is to be expected of him. Batting first in the lineup with the number 1, it fits as he's used to getting on base with a quick step. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI Tuesday night, while Brett Booth and Ben Moore contributed to the other runs.
Pitcher Spencer Turnball (0-1) suffered the loss but matched Auburn's Jon Luke Jacobs with six strikeouts in only 3.1 innings.
The Alabama Crimson Tide played good baseball and made the game interesting for the fans at Riverwalk Stadium, and they'll be looking for revenge in April when the Tigers come to town for conference play.
Also known as the "Iron Bowl of baseball," the Capital City Classic is a great way for both teams to get a taste of what the SEC conference will be like for the season, and they get a chance to play each other when it doesn't count for the conference record. With the Auburn-Alabama rivalry so heated throughout the state of Alabama, it is always an enjoyable contest full of outstanding talent and entertainment. No matter how good or bad one team might be, in any sport, you can always count on an Auburn-Alabama match to play the best of the sport that either team can offer. Tuesday's game was no different.
This weekend, Auburn closes out their non-conference weekends as they welcome Belmont to Plainsman park. Alabama does the same by hosting the DRASH Alabama Baseball Tournament with contending teams including Oral Roberts, East Carolina, and No. 20 Louisville.

The confidence Steve Torrence brings behind the wheel of his Top Fuel dragster is pretty self-assuring.
Two consecutive victories on the National Hot Rod Association circuit leave the driver convinced his car stacks up against any in the division.
"These guys have had this car on a string lately,'' Torrence said of his crew. "The consistency is there and it's fun being me just to ride in it. Three final rounds and two wins this year, and it keeps rolling. We've been kidding that this thing's like a freight train.''
Steam, and speed, were evident again Friday night in the first round of qualifying for the Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals. Torrence was clocked in 3.662 seconds with a time of 328.54 to take the early lead in the event, which continues Saturday with qualifying runs at 1:30 and 4:30 p.m.
"It's huge,'' said Torrence, "because now you give yourself a little wiggle room to try to do something a little different on this next lap. If you miss it at all, you've still got a safety net.''
The remainder of the Top Fuel division, and even Torrence, was optimistic another qualifying run could be staged Friday. The threat of a thunderstorm, however, prompted NHRA officials to call off a second qualifying session for the Mello Yello Series.
"I knew the track would take it,'' Torrence said, noting the second-best qualifying time posted by Brittany Force (3.730, 329.02 mph), which came after Robert Hight set a national record of 337.66 mph in Funny Car.
"We were really aggressive early and it just held on,'' Torrence said. "These are some of the best conditions we've seen all year. With the opportunity for this one session, we really had to go out and try to go get it.''
Torrence, sponsored by Capco Contractors, entered the HPT event third in the Top Fuel standings behind two drivers from Don Schumacher Racing, Leah Pritchett and Tony Schumacher.
Those two were paired in opposite lanes for the final qualifier of round one.
Only Schumacher, however, got off the line. Pritchett, who has won three of the previous seven events this season in Top Fuel, scratched on her first-round pass because of debris in her lane.
"Right as I was about to stage, the placard from the Christmas tree flew off right in front of my lane,'' Pritchett said on a Facebook post.
"You can't have 11,000 horsepower just blow by a big piece of plastic on the track. That's not safe. That's not cool. So we got shut down."


text: Oh? Simply by using it, or is there a specific operation? This is one of the biggest problems I have with LFS. I'm not sure, but I think this may also happen with null mounts if one layer is on an ffs filesystem. It's hard to tell, because I very well could've been doing something else to trigger it while I had a null/union mount; it's hard to tease out causality in this case. Apart from this, I have very specific problems that happen: 1) A deadlock involving biowait 2) A deadlock involving vnlock, which I'm fairly sure is related to layers. 3) Certain metadata update operations such as chown/chmod seem to take inordinate amounts of CPU and real time. It takes me 10+ minutes at 95%+ CPU to chmod -R g+w pkgsrc. However, I still use LFS for some things because its write performance can be incredible.
