If Goran Dragic takes to Igor Kokoskov's coaching anything like Georgia did, the Suns will see results from the point guard who they invested in like a first-round pick last year.
Kokoskov, the second-year Suns assistant coach, led the Georgian national team this summer to its first qualification into European Championship Division A play. His team went 9-1 in the tournament's Division B play this year, winning a best-of-three promotion series against Belarus, 2-0, with Zaza Pachulia on his team.
Kokoskov watched Dragic play for Slovenia in the European Championship before a MCL sprain sat Dragic out for the final five games. Dragic starred in two of the four games he played off the bench on a team that had three lefthanded point guards before Beno Udrih's and Dragic's injuries.
"Any opportunity he can spend in summer time playing and getting more experience is unbelievable," Kokoskov said. "It's very valuable for a player. It's a great opportunity for Goran. I'm glad, even with so many guys playing his position, that he found his place and role. I never had a doubt about it. He's using the summer in the right way to get experience.
"He proved a lot. He feels more comfortable guarding people and using quickness. He's playing with more confidence. He's in the right place right now. He's going to come ready mentally and physically for next year with more experience and confidence. I'm happy for him."
Dragic, playing and guarding both guard spots, had his best games against Serbia and Spain, the latter of which he made six steals.
"He's always active," Kokoskov said. "He's got long arms and is very active. He's so active with his hands and that's how gets deflections and steals."
You can see in the youtube video below how Dragic's athleticism stands out more in Europe. That athleticism just blends into the NBA.
"He's got to get more relaxed and comfortable playing here," Kokoskov said. "It takes time. It's going to take, especially with culture and language and everything, to feel comfortable playing here."

I agree with you on parts of your statement. In vanilla and BC, you did not feel like you were left out if you were not raiding. They had enough stuff for you to do at end game that you could stay on the same char and make progress. Leveling alone could take a huge chunk of your time even before you got to the end game and then there were reps to grind, professions to complete, and long instances to run on normal that while they were a pain, the community that ran them were understanding. Don't know about this boss? Here, let me type it out to you b/c only raiders had Teamspeak back then and it was rarely used in 5 mans if at all (I honestly can't remember when Vent hit it big, late BC maybe?). Then Wrath hit and they sped up leveling. All of a sudden, you didn't spend 6 months leveling a char (might be exaggerating here as I was a slow leveler). You instead had them in Northrend in a month and Northrend itself only took 2 to 3 weeks before the nerfs to xp there. All of a sudden, you've got 4 months of extra time there. What are you going to do? PVP and raiding were the only real options. Hence that raiding all of a sudden became something that everyone did. Cata made the leveling even quicker. 1-80 takes 3 weeks and 81-85 takes another week. Now what are you going to do? Raiding and PVP are still the only 2 options so what can Blizz do to keep people subscribed? Make raiding easier is the only real thing they can do b/c as much as raiders complain, they have nothing on PVPers. Trust me on that one.

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
JACKSON, Mich. (WLNS)- Governor Snyder says he's in campaign mode. Tuesday he hit Allegiance Hospital in Jackson asking all of us to call our senators and get them to vote yes on healthy Michigan.
If passed the legislation will expand to cover 300,000 more people. The governor says if healthy Michigan passes, our state will get federal dollars.
Something you don't expect to hear from a GOP governor expanding medicaid is "common sense". "Healthy Michigan is a great program for Michigander's. It's about saying we have a chance to help one in 20 Michigander's move from a broken system to a good system and it would actually save Michigan money," said Gov. Snyder.
Snyder says the legislation will add more than 300,000 adults to the medicaid rolls and because they would pay a low cost premium. It would encourage people to take better care of themselves. Not to mention it will bring 200 million federal dollars into Michigan next year. So even though he's not a fan, he believes it's the best way to work with ObamaCare.
Fellow republican Rep. Mike Shirkey says healthy Michigan makes lemonade out of a big lemon. "I hope Obamacare fails miserably under it's own weight. But meanwhile, let's seize the opportunity to leverage the weight of the affordable care act and make something good out of a bad choice,: said Rep. Shirkey.
Annie Patnaude of Americans for Prosperity, a grassroots organization that opposes ObamaCare believes healthy Michigan will add to the federal deficit and cost Michigander's money. She also believes there's a better way to help low-income adults.
"Michigan needs to look for a way to address all the single able-bodied adults up to 100 percent of the poverty level, and then anyone 100% and over can go to the health-care exchanges and get private insurance and receive federal subsidies," said Patnaude.
Not as cheap as medicaid but she says it is far more of an incentive to stay

Albanian horse
|Country of origin
|Equus ferus caballus
The Albanian is a small horse which belongs to the Balkan group. It is reputed to be hardy and very efficient. The Myzeqea type of Albanian is larger and can grow up to 13.2 hands high, while the Mountain type averages about 12.2 to 12.3 hands.[1]
There are two types of native Albanian horse, referred to as Mountain and Myzeqea (which refers to the Myzeqe plain). Due to recent interbreeding between the two types, the distinction is becoming less clear.[1] The Myzeqea horse is exceptionally strong for its size and has an easily-ridden ambling gait, making it useful as a long distance horse.[1] Coloring is usually black, chestnut, gray or bay.[2]
The Albanian horse is known for its high energy and endurance as well as sure-footedness, agility, and balance making them excellent horses for general riding, transportation, and pack animals.
Breed history[edit]
During the reign of the Ottoman Empire in Albania, a great deal of Arabian blood influenced the local horses. The indigenous stock were thought to be various combinations of Tarpan, Turkmenian and Mongolian horse stock.[1]
Since 1980, there has been a great increase in the number of horses in Albania. In the early 1990s, measures were taken to promote and increase the number of Albanian horses and to improve them for agricultural work.
The goals of Albanian breeders today are to increase the number of horses and improve their quality. Purebred Arabian, Nonius and Haflinger horses are crossed with the Albanian and several improved types are emerging. Nonius horses are bred at the Zootechnic Station at Shkodër, and stallions and mares are distributed to other areas for breed improvement.[1]
The main reason for this crossbreeding is increased size for better agricultural work. The Haflinger pony was imported from Austria to help improve the working abilities of horses in hilly regions of the country.[1]
Albanian horses are used as carriage horses and for riding and light draft work.[1]

Spare Change: Paranormal Romance Edition
Published on - March 7th, 2011 (by J.D. Roth)
Last week, Novelr profiled Amanda Hocking, whom they dubbed the very rich indie writer. Hocking is a 26-year-old woman who writes "paranormal romance" novels and publishes them herself through Amazon's Kindle store. She's been very successful, and has made a lot of money.
Her success has led to all sorts of speculation — as success will do — and comments from folks who think they could do what she does, too. They think she's an overnight success. She recently posted a response at her website, and I like it. Here's an excerpt:
This is literally years of work you're seeing. And hours and hours of work each day. The amount of time and energy I put into marketing is exhausting. I am continuously overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do that isn't writing a book. I hardly have time to write anymore, which sucks and terrifies me.
If you read Hocking's post, you might understand some of my own mindset over the past few years. Imagine that instead of discussing supernatural love stories, she's writing about an unexpectedly successful personal-finance blog. There are some close parallels. I don't mean that in a negative, complain-y way. I just mean to stress that yes, you can make it big doing something you love, but it'll probably take a lot of hard work. (And luck. There's always a bit of luck involved.)
Speaking of making money: There's been a small flurry of online info about making more money lately. (You know this is one of my pet topics, right?) For example, Inc. magazine posted an article from Jason Fried about how to get good at making money. Fried's list is targeted at small-business owners. Trent at The Simple Dollar responded with his own list of five easy steps to make money for average folks. Both articles are interesting.
Moving on: I've written before about the value of a neighborhood exchange — an informal system of borrowing and lending goods and services. David at My Two Dollars has a great list of items to share with your neighbors to save money. I realize that not everyone likes to borrow or lend things, but if you live in an area with good social capital, this can be a great way for everyone involved to save space and cash.
Since returning from Africa, I've been struggling to get everything done that needs to be done. There just aren't enough hours in the day. So I was interested in the latest post at Pop Economics, which asks, "How much do you value your time?" Pop says the balance between time and money is tough to find — we want more of both. He's actually experimenting with a personal assistant, which I like. I've been waiting for an average joe to do this and report on how it goes. (As opposed to somebody like Tim Ferriss, who makes it sound like a way to become superhuman.)
This article is about Spare Change
Interesting observations. I've been reading Thou Shall Prosper by Rabbi Lapin -and he offered something that I found very compelling. When we hire professionals (ie., doctor, lawyer, etc.) we usually judge them by their business skills, which invariably includes relational intelligence and marketing, not their core skill set. Being self-employed does not mean a life of indiscriminate leisure, rather you have to order your life in such a way that your product/content is not compromised in terms of quality and still tend to the business side of the equation, like marketing, managing people, dealing with vendors.
That Jason Fried piece is really good. I got a largish project with a client the other day, and because it was hard to budget and write up a contract with everything, I broke it down into manageable (and payable) pieces instead. Client was on board the same day. It's just what Jason Fried advised there (among other things), but I hadn't codified this into a method like he did. Will adopt this from now on.
Please, more posts about MAKING money, especially for the business/self-employed crowd (like the people who run this blog). I know this is not a business blog per se but things like salary negotiation have been discussed, and people on salaries can always have a side business.
I bought the Money Book for freelancers the other day thanks to Sierra's post last month, as a result I'm reorganizing my finances at warp speed. New bank accounts, new accounting, etc.
[@JD: does your affiliate link apply also to Kindle editions? Because the Money Book link was for the paper book but I bought the Kindle version and did not see it... just making sure you get your % with my thanks.]
Re: the Amanda Hocking case, she might be a successful writer (I haven't read her books so I can't comment on the quality) but she's failing as a manager. She needs to delegate & go back to doing her thing. OR, alternate periods of managing and writing. But "shoemaker to your shoes"– she needs to hire someone to run her chores or she will go crazy eventually.
I tried a personal assistant for a while– we had a pile of money and too many projects to handle and she was very helpful at sorting things out. We would have died of a heart attack without her. She wasn't abroad though, she was a friend who needed a job and didn't charge a lot, she lived in another time zone though and we worked via Basecamp (speaking of Jason Fried…). Then the Big Recession came and it all went to hell, but things are picking up again, so who knows.
Ok, end of random post. Thanks for the links.
I do some of the neighbor sharing things already — one neighbor lent me all her newborn clothes and maternitywear last summer and my next door neighbor and I used to give each other the coupon insert leftovers. We also get free grapes from a couple neighbors and I generally give them a lot back in jelly form. I love the idea of expanding that even farther, though.
I think being an overnight success J.D. has become the modern expectation and few appreciate nor welcome the hard work, dedication, sacrifices, and hard times that comes with it. Bright shining lights of good times mask the tougher ones so I applaud Amanda for not just basking in glory but telling it as it is. As Monty Hall said, "I'm an overnight success, but it took me 20 years". That's what it takes!
Hey thanks for the Amanda Hocking piece. What an interesting, and humbling story.
El Nerdo is exactly right that Amanda Hocking really needs to hire help and delegate. It sounds like she's making >$1M a year now. She should be focusing 100% on the writing and hiring professional help to do everything else.
But I do think that its awesome that she has found that kind of success independently. Kudos to her.
I totally agree that any "overnight success" you find out there took years to get to that point. Can anyone do it? I'd venture to say "yes" they could, but it's the matter of if they actually do it or not. There's a lot of work involved and most are not willing to put in the sweat equity. As for luck being involved, I don't totally agree with that one. We make our own luck by the choices we make and our frame of mind. Sometimes things happen that we can not explain logically and attribute to "luck" but I believe they come when we are ready for them after all that we have done.

I'm not sure Wesley Clark's defense of Hillary Clinton's support of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment was convincing, but it was the sort of thing that might convince. Clark is, after all, a great proxy to have doing outreach to more dovish voters for you — an Iraq War opponent, a committed multilateralist, and someone with deep ties to the blogosphere. Madeleine Albright not so much. When people worry that an HRC administration might be too hawkish, Albright is part of what we're worrying about, she a member of the hawkish "strategic class" circle that Clinton was aligning herself with when she voted to authorize war with Iraq.

Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 350 (1974) (holding that the First Amendment required only a ÔÇťnegligence standard for private defamation actionsÔÇŁ), is not limited to cases with institutional media defendants. The panel further held that the blog post at issue addressed a matter of public concern, and the district court should have instructed the jury that it could not find the blogger liable for defamation unless it found that she acted negligently. The panel held that the bankruptcy trustee did not become a ÔÇťpublic officialÔÇŁ simply by virtue of court appointment, or by receiving compensation from the court. The panel remanded for a new trial on the blog post at issue, and affirmed the district courtÔÇÖs summary judgment on the other blog posts that were deemed constitutionally protected opinions.

Update depth term is used to determine a number of levels of member objects down the hierarchy, which will be updated automatically, when the top-level object is updated. Understanding of update depth and its performance impact is especially important for working with deep object graphs and collections.
The default update depth value is 0, which means that objectContainer#set(object) method will only update the object passed as a parameter and any changes to its member objects will be lost.
Update depth can be changed globally or for a specific class.
Global update depth settings:
Class-specific update settings:
Here depth parameter specifies the number of member object levels down the hierarchy, which will be updated when the top-level object is saved.
Flag parameter determines whether update operation should be cascaded to all the member objects.
Note, that the recommended setting for the update depth is 0, i.e. the default one. Setting update depth to a higher value inevitably leads to performance downgrade. Storing the required amount of levels can instead be achieved by using a special
store method:
objectContainer.ext().store(object, updateDepth);

At first, it was kept secret for months, cryptically referred to only as an "unidentified third-party contractor."
Finally, in November 2012, Reuters revealed the name of the corporate consulting firm the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hired to produce a study on the prospective economic impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
LNG is the super-chilled final product of gas obtained - predominatly in today's context - via the controversial hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") process taking place within shale deposits located throughout the U.S. This "prize" is shipped from the multitude of domestic shale basins in pipelines to various coastal LNG terminals, and then sent on LNG tankers to the global market.
The firm: National Economic Research Associates (NERA) Economic Consulting, has a long history of pushing for deregulation. Its claim to fame: the deregulation "studies" it publishes on behalf of the nuclear, coal, and oil/gas industry - and as it turns out, Big Tobacco, too.
Alfred E. Kahn, the late "Father of Deregulation," founded NERA in 1961 along with Irwin Stelzer, now a senior fellow and director of the right-wing Hudson Institute's Center for Economic Policy.
The NERA/Obama DOE LNG export economic impact study, released in early-December 2012, concluded that exporting the U.S. shale gas bounty is in the best economic interest of the country. The commenting period for that study closes today at 4:30 PM EST.
This conclusion drew metaphorical hisses from many analysts, including prominent shale gas market economist and former Wall Street investor Deborah Rogers, who now maintains the blog Energy Policy Forum. Her critique cut straight to the very foundation of the study itself, stating that "economic model[s] are only as good as their inputs."
She proceeded to explain,
In fact, it is neither difficult nor unusual for models to be designed to favor one outcome over another. In other words, models can be essentially reverse engineered. This is especially true when the models have been commissioned by industries that stand to gain significantly in monetary terms. Or government agencies which are perhaps pushing a political agenda.
Beyond its history working as a hired gun for the fossil fuel industry, NERA also has deeper historical roots producing "smoke and mirrors" studies on behalf of the tobacco industry. The long view of the firm's past is something NERA would likely rather see "go up in smoke," forever buried in the historical annals. But that would be a disservice to U.S. taxpayers since NERA continues to receive government contracts to produce tobacco-era disinformation to this day.
"Doubt is our product," a tobacco industry CEO once said of the playbook, "since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."
The University of California-San Francisco's Tobacco Archives reveal NERA worked on behalf of the tobacco industry dating back at least to 1986.
A May memo from that year written by then NERA Vice President William B. Shew (who now works at the previously mentioned Hudson Institute as an Adjunct Fellow alongside NERA Founder, Irwin Stelzer) addressed to Arnold & Porter attorney Thomas Silfen says the tobacco industry should aim to explain the so-called health "benefits" of smoking.
Most studies don't explain "the satisfactions that induce smokers to put up with health hazards," Shew explains in the memo. "This imbalance would be rectified by looking at the satisfaction derived from smoking."
At the time of the internal memo's publication, Arnold & Porter served as national counsel for Philip Morris.
A memo published in 1988 by Silfen posits that Big Tobacco has an obligation going forward to overcome its "long agony over health issues–to get the industry out of the 'it hasn't been proven' trap once and for all."
Working alongside public relations industry giant Ogilvy-Mather and the Tobacco Institute, NERA also attempted to defeat the then-proposed smoking ban in Los Angeles County in 1990, the Tobacco Archives reveal.
SourceWatch details that the Tobacco Institute hired Ogilvy "to provide public affairs consulting services aimed at helping the Instutitute fight cigarette excise taxes, public smoking restrictions and to help with coalition building issues," proceeding to explain that it helped to "devise ad campaigns to take the public's focus off the health hazards of secondhand tobacco smoke."
Among other accolades, Ogilvy helped BP rebrand itself "Beyond Petroluem," a propaganda campaign which won the corporation now infamous for its Gulf Coast oil disaster the PR Week "Brand of the Year" in 2001. Critics at the time called it a case of "greenwashing."
Yet in the end, it was a case of "too little, too late" for NERA, Ogilvy and the Tobacco Institute.
In 1990, San Luis Obispo, CA "became the first city in the world to ban indoor smoking at all public places, including bars and restaurants," according to the San Francisco Gate. By 1998, California adopted these regulations as the law of the land statewide.
Later, in 1994 and 1995, the Tobacco Archives also reveal that NERA served as a contractor for Philip Morris (now owned by Altria Group), taking the fight to an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposal to implement regulations for smoking on the job.
OSHA proposed banning smoking everywhere within the workplace except for in small, desiginated and isolated lounges.
Dr. Albert L . Nichols authored a Dec. 1995 NERA economic study contracted out by Philip Morris which critiqued OSHA regulations. That study predictably concluded that OSHA's regulations were "draconian" in nature, suggesting OSHA relied on "patently ludicrous" economic assumptions.
While NERA/Philip Morris waged its battle against OSHA, NERA also devoted itself to fighting back against Maryland's state-level workplace smoking regulations.
A Feb. 1995 Associated Press article quotes Nichols saying that cigarette sales in Maryland "could fall by $27 million" on an annual basis if the regulations are implemented.
Much to NERA's chagrin, a month later, the proposed regulations became Maryland state law.
The Sierra Club is skeptical of the Obama DOE's choice of NERA as the contractor to perform the fracked gas LNG export study. The Club just filed a Freedom of Information Act request to ascertain exactly how the Department went about choosing NERA for its "study" that will play a large part in shaping the future of global energy markets.
"Deciding to export the U.S. gas supply is a major public decision," Deb Nardone, director of the Sierra Club's Beyond Natural Gas Campaign, said in a press release. "We deserve a full and fair conversation about it. That's why we deserve to know how and why DOE picked this anti-environmental, pro-corporate consultant for this crucial report."
With easily apparent deep-seated roots dating back to the halcyon days of Big Tobacco, the DOE's NERA selection begs the question: Can one view the NERA/Obama DOE economic findings on LNG exports as anything but a deeply cynical PR ploy?
Update (5:33 PM CST): Over 200,000 public comments were delivered to the DOE, according to a Sierra Club press release. "The public should be outraged to hear that domestic supplies of gas would be shipped overseas and that households which rely on a paycheck will see no benefit, which is clearly stated in the report," said Nardone. "Most Americans rely on a paycheck. Meanwhile communities all across the country are left footing the bill to clean up contaminated water supplies and with increased medical bills due to air pollution. Exporting fracked gas is clearly not in the best interest of the United States. DOE and President Obama must not accept this flawed study."

Liquifying and transporting natural gas consumes 8% - 10% of the natural gas. Essentially this increases its emmissions.
"Liquefaction plants are typically the most expensive element in an LNG project. Because 8%–10% of gas delivered to the plant is used to fuel the refrigeration process, overall operating costs are high even though other costs, such as labor and maintenance, are low."
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Feb. 4, 2006
GREELEY, Colo. - The University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team did exactly what it needed to do against Division III foe Colorado College on Saturday. The Bears shot a high percentage (59.1%), dominated the boards (50-15 rebounding margin) and played good defense (limited CC to 25% shooting) in blowing out the Tigers 80-35 at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The 45-point margin of victory was the 10th largest in program history for the Bears and largest since topping Arizona Bible College by 51 points in the 1995-96 season (that is the largest margin of victory in Butler-Hancock). The 35 points scored by the Tigers (4-14) was the fewest scored by a Northern Colorado (4-21) opponent since the Bears bested Colorado College 55-28 on Feb. 16, 1949.
The game was never much in doubt as Northern Colorado, who won back-to-back games for the first time this season, led 9-2 early and built a 10-point lead just six minutes into the contest. The Bears led by as many as 23 points in the first half on their way to a 40-17 halftime advantage.
UNC used a 15-5 run to open the second half in coasting the rest of the way. All 11 players in uniform for Northern Colorado scored on Saturday, and each played at least 14 minutes.
"We did exactly what we were supposed to do today," Bears head coach Craig Rasmuson said. "We took their best player (Mares) out of the game early, pounded the boards, shot well and played great defense. I am pleased with what we have done the last few games."
The Bears leading scorer, Sean Taibi, was very efficient, scoring a game-high 21 points in just 15 minutes of playing time. Taibi hit on 8-of-9 shots and 4-of-5 3-pointers for the game. He now has 67 3-pointers on the season, just eight trifectas away from tying the program's single-season record of 75 (held by Sean Nolen, who was in attendance on Saturday).
Sophomore guard Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos added 10 points, just his second double-figure performance of the season. All 11 Bears players scored at least one point, marking the second consecutive game (and third time this season) every player in uniform has scored.
Freshman Dorian McDaniel led the Bears with seven rebounds, as the Bears hit the 50-rebound plateau for the first time this season. The Bears had a +35 rebounding margin on the afternoon (50-15), which established a new school record (the previous record was +25).
The Bears shot 59.1 percent for the game, while they held CC to just 25 percent, the lowest field goal percentage by a team in Butler-Hancock history.
Colorado College was led by nine points from Adam Mares.
Northern Colorado returns to action next Saturday night when they travel to Davis, Calif. to battle fellow Division I Independent UC Davis at 8 p.m. MT.

Fugitive Piecesby Anne Michaels
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Extraordinarily magical...fierce, deeply unsettling". — The New York Times
Published to rapturous acclaim, this fiercely concentrated and beautifully written novel is a story of unspeakable loss and unhoped-for redemption, of history and memory. It is the story of Jakob Beer, a Polish Jew who at the age of seven sees his parents murdered in the Holocaust, buries himself alive, and is resurrected by a Greek scientist who sees the starving child burst from the mud.
As Jakob flees across Europe and America, he is transformed from a half-wild survivor into a scholar and translator who extracts meaning from the unfathomable horror of our time. Filled with mysterious symmetries and rendered in heart-stopping prose, Fugitive Pieces is a triumphant work of the literary and spiritual imagination.
"Word by blessed word, it is a gorgeously written book: aflame with the subzero cold of history and the passions of emotional comprehension". — Boston Globe
"Lovely...musical and magical.... Put this book alongside The English Patient". — Chicago Tribune
"Anne Michaels has created a world of stunning, heartbreaking clarity where even the unspeakable is captured in the light-web of her words. She is a superb poet, a breath-stopping storyteller." Cristina Garcia
"This extraordinarily beautiful novel is a world. A book miraculously created because it mends the hopeless and dances with loss. Trust and read it." John Berger
About the Author
Anne Michaels teaches creative writing in Toronto. Her two collections of poetry are The Weight of Oranges (1986), which won the Commonwealth Prize for the Americas, and Miner's Pond (1991), which received the Canadian Authors Award and was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award and the Trillium Award.

Web Usability Testing Service Articles
12 Usability Guidelines Every Joomla Template Should Follow
But while looks have improved, front-end usability -- hasn't. Many Joomla templates don't take usage into consideration. They're missing some of the most basic features, making it difficult for novice developers to create a user-friendly site. I know I'm constantly hacking templates to make them do what I want.

Top 10 Usability Mistakes on PlentyOfFish.com
As I wrote in my previous post, PlentyOfFish.com is one of my favorite dating sites. It has great features, smart design (not pretty, but smart) and it's highly addictive. But no site is ever perfect, so here are some of the usability mistakes I found on the site's main features.
Top 10 Usability Gems on PlentyOfFish.com
The Top 10 Usability Mistakes Made By Dating Sites
Dating sites are among the most common types of commercial websites, and also one of the easiest to get wrong. When the competition is so tight, it's vital that the site is easy to use and that members are able to find and use the functions they want.
How to perform a usability test yourself
This is a useful presentation about usability testing. It also gives you an idea of how you could do it yourself if you wanted to.
10 Top Button Usability Mistakes
Together with links, buttons are among the most common tools for taking action online. Almost every site has them, and far too many sites get them horribly wrong. Buttons should make it easier for people to take action, not harder!
Here are some of the more common button mistakes I've found on websites.
What is usability testing?
Usability testing asks users to perform set tasks on a website in order to measure the site's ease of use, the time it takes to complete those tasks, and the user's perception of the experience. Usability testing can be performed by users with different levels of expertise.
Small Changes, Big Rewards
Sometimes small changes can make a huge difference in a site's conversion rate and its financial success. For example, if your "Buy Now" button is so small that no one can see it, no one will click on it. Placing it in the right location and giving it a more clickable look, can increase your conversion rate by hundreds of percent.
What's a conversion rate?
The conversion rate refers to the percentage of visitors who take a desired action such as subscribing, buying or joining. For example, the conversion rate of visitors that subscribe to a newsletter is the number of visitors divided by the number of subscribers. Clearly, you want your conversion rate to be as high as possible. The goal of usability testing is to help you to improve your site and raise that conversion rate. So if your conversion rate from visitors to buyers is 1 percent, making the changes we recommend could increase it to 2 percent... and double your revenues!

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion gave Mac users some parity with iOS users through the introduction Notification Center. OS X Notification Center is a non-intrusive way of alerting Mac users of incoming messages, like emails, appointments and OS X updates, through badges or alerts. Badges are little notifications that appear in the top right corner of the screen for five seconds then slide away. While the badge is still present, one can click it and be transported to the specific application and particular message. Alerts are a little more intrusive as they require action to be taken (close, open) before they disappear.
The idea behind Notification Center is to let the user know that a new message has come in, but not to disturb the current work flow. Notification Center also has a side bar to the right that allows for viewing of several different notifications, from different apps, all at once. That said, Notification Center has much growing up to do, and below are some suggestions we have for Notification Center in OS X 10.9:
1) Add Twitter and Facebook: iOS already has this. Why Mountain Lion did not include these two apps is a mystery. Facebook and Twitter alerts are as important (or more so) to many users than Mail and Calendar reminders.
2) More Customization: iOS Notification Center allows for selecting specific mail boxes to cause alerts or badges. OS X 10.9 should bring OS X to parity or go further.
3) RSS Feeds: If Apple won't put RSS Feeds back into their Mail.app, then Notification Center is the next best place to do it — and arguably a better place. Allow for the management of RSS feeds right in the heart of the OS.
In summary what we are looking for is a Notification Center that truly handles all incoming messages and alerts: email, calendar reminders, Tweets, Facebook posts, RSS feeds and more. If Apple does that with OS X 10.9, it will have a real winner on its hands.

MANY, MANY, MANY Americans now rely on these dozens of avenues to free money because of the HAVOC unleashed on our economy after FAST and LOOSE. I guess some might conclude it is really the Con servatives that are responsible for giving away Government FREE money??
But, You don't see it that way do You?
Was there really a Great Depression, or was there merely a dearth of Federal Borrowing and Distribution to provide for everyone?
Where were these essentials of 21st century life in the USA? things like,Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, federal aid to education, Head Start, Pell Grants, housing subsidies, welfare, earned income tax credits or unemployment checks.
TELL ME, Would Tom Joad and Ma have needed to migrate to Weedpatch, CA. if Obama had only been in office?
Con servatives playing Fast and Loose on Wall Street as in 2000 to 2007 and the rest is history AGAIN?
Your last statement needs interpretation? But hey Phill w/two ll's TELL ME why you're not in office or running?
The number of people employed in the United States dropped by 496,000 in March, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, yet somehow, miraculously, the unemployment rate dropped a full basis point from 7.7 percent to 7.6 percent.
That's because while the White House, the media and assorted economists kept saying "Hooray! Things are FINALLY getting better- and this time we MEAN it," another 663,000 people dropped out of the workforce.
It's amazing how discouraged people are during the Greatest Recovery Ever, led by the Greatest Chief Executive since Jon Corzine took over MF Global.

NEW YORK -- A surprising first half has given way to a disappointing second half for the New York Mets as a whole, but starter R.A. Dickey has regained the form that made him a first-time All-Star. Dickey's complete-game victory over the Marlins helped the Mets halt a nine-game home losing streak Thursday. The 6-1 win gave Dickey (15-3) a share of the major-league lead in wins, tying the Los Angeles Angels' Jered Weaver. After the Mets acknowledged they haven't been hitting or pitching of late on Wednesday night, they did both Thursday. They backed Dickey with 13 hits, eight off Marlins starter Josh Johnson (7-8), who gave up three runs in six innings. Andres Torres had three hits, including a homer and triple as well as three RBIs. David Wright, moved to the cleanup spot for the ninth time this season, had two hits, a RBI and a run scored. Josh Thole added a pair of RBI singles.

In the movie "Rules of Engagement," written by James Webb, a wounded Vietnam veteran-turned-lawyer beats seemingly hopeless odds to win a case defending a comrade in arms.
A real-life Hollywood ending seemed unlikely until recently for Webb, who is campaigning to unseat Virginia Sen. George Allen, a formidable Republican opponent with presidential ambitions in 2008.
Now, however, a forceful anti-Iraq-war message resonating with voters nationwide before the November congressional elections and a distinctly unpresidential gaffe by his rival have helped Webb wipe out a double-digit polling deficit.
Democrats suddenly scent blood and a chance for Webb to capture a big trophy as they seek to pick up the six seats needed to take control of the Senate from the Republicans.
Webb, an acclaimed novelist, decorated Vietnam War veteran and Navy secretary during conservative hero Ronald Reagan's presidency, is proving tough for Republicans to label as another Democrat soft on national security.
Webb's slogan, "Born Fighting", emphasizes a family history of military service — his 24-year-old son just shipped out to Iraq with the Marines — and he campaigns in combat boots alongside a comrade who lost an arm in Vietnam.
But he thinks the Iraq war is a mistake that has left U.S. foreign policy in disarray.
"I think they (Republicans) have lost the moral high ground because of what's happened over the last six years," Webb said in an interview at his campaign headquarters.
"In Iraq, we are stirring the pot, not solving the problem."
Webb's run is a test of whether the anti-war message that Democrats are increasingly confident pushing can convince a traditionally conservative state where Republican warnings against "cutting and running" in Iraq still carry clout.
The race only became competitive when Allen slipped up by using a racially charged term to address a member of Webb's campaign team who was filming the Republican on the stump.
"It's not a state like Connecticut where the anti-war message is stronger because there's more Democrats, more left-leaning independents that agree with that message," said Nathan Gonzales, political editor at the Rothenberg Political Report in Washington.
Former vice presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Lieberman lost a Democratic primary in Connecticut last month to an anti-war rival who accused him of cozying up to President George W. Bush over the war, but polls now have Lieberman ahead as an independent in the relatively liberal state.
Webb, a youthful-looking 60-year-old whose ruddy complexion and red hair betray his Scots-Irish ancestry, wants to commit to withdrawing from Iraq but pledges to strike firmly at U.S. enemies there and elsewhere in the world.
"When I hear people allege you cannot be against the war in Iraq and for the war against international terrorism, I respectfully disagree," he said.
Analysts see Webb being helped by the heavy military presence at bases throughout Virginia and by the growing population in wealthy, more ethnically mixed northern Virginia, where people lean Democrat.
Still, as in most U.S. Congress races, the smart money is on the incumbent, who in this case has added celebrity appeal as the son of Hall of Fame football coach George Allen and who was himself a star college quarterback in California.
Allen, who campaigns in cowboy boots and with a simple, sunny style that reminds many of Reagan, has a big funding advantage and wide name recognition in the state where he was once governor.
With polls now showing a tight race, campaigning is getting personal. Allen's camp set up a news conference this week by five female Naval Academy graduates who said a 1979 article Webb wrote on women's unsuitability for combat had led to harassment against women at the academy.

10 Responses to "James Webb's campaign picks up steam against Allen"
What pain?
One of the women in the initial campaign ad has recanted and now support Webb.
I live in Virginia and any person who votes for Allen is a rabid partisan. Webb is the most qualified candidate challenger — barring none.
And when you places Webb's heroic credentials against Allen's phony cowboy persona and his racist past with convenient gaps in Jewish family history, well, there really is no choice.
For the record, here's how Webb won his Navy Cross while Allen was racing across California with a Rebel flag atop his pickup truck.
The citation Jim Webb received on July 10, 1969.
"The Navy Cross is presented to James H. Webb, Jr., First Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Platoon Commander with Company D, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 10 July 1969, while participating in a company-sized search and destroy operation deep in hostile territory, First Lieutenant Webb's platoon discovered a well-camouflaged bunker complex which appeared to be unoccupied. Deploying his men into defensive positions, First Lieutenant Webb was advancing to the first bunker when three enemy soldiers armed with hand grenades jumped out. Reacting instantly, he grabbed the closest man and, brandishing his .45 caliber pistol at the others, apprehended all three of the soldiers. Accompanied by one of his men, he then approached the second bunker and called for the enemy to surrender. When the hostile soldiers failed to answer him and threw a grenade which detonated dangerously close to him, First Lieutenant Webb detonated a claymore mine in the bunker aperture, accounting for two enemy casualties and disclosing the entrance to a tunnel. Despite the smoke and debris from the explosion and the possibility of enemy soldiers hiding in the tunnel, he then conducted a thorough search which yielded several items of equipment and numerous documents containing valuable intelligence data. Continuing the assault, he approached a third bunker and was preparing to fire into it when the enemy threw another grenade. Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body. Although sustaining painful fragmentation wounds from the explosion, he managed to throw a grenade into the aperture and completely destroy the remaining bunker. By his courage, aggressive leadership, and selfless devotion to duty, First Lieutenant Webb upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service."
It should not be as much anti-war as it is anti-wrong war in wrong place for the wrong reason! and of course, the quagmire as a result of the wrong people making the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons and with faulty and wrong intelligence.
Lieberman, by the way, is no more an independent than Bush is a credible president.
The Connecticut Democrats are making a serious error by supporting this Bush supporter and an abysmal jackass!
Has anyone noticed how much George Allen looks and acts like a bully in the macaca video? His sister told a reporter her brother has always been a bully. Has a Confederate flag in his office…hmmm.
I read the transcript from Meet the Press yesterday and then went to Webb's website and read it thoroughly. He's an interesting man full of convictions and has integrity — wholistic integration of a wide-range of beliefs.
I'm used to politicians misrepresenting the truth, Allen is worse than most. I'd love to see this jerk go down in flames.
Looks as if Allen's camp is in some serious trouble having to resort to the almighty smear tactics. I doubt Mr. Webb intended to cause trouble for women in the Naval Academy with his school paper article. What was Mr. Allen's stance on, "women in the military", in 1979?
I wouldn't have looked at the senatorial race if it wasn't for my journalism class. Imagine my shock when I discovered that George Allen was against abortion rights and spending $100 million on education concerning pregnancy and contraceptives. It may be because I am young, but I think it is extremely fustrating that if he wouldn't support abortion he wasn't going to educate students on how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. I cannot make anyone accept my views on abortion (pro choice), but education is the least he can do!!!!! Think of your daughters.
Lets not forget, however, the pain that Webbs article caused women attending the Naval Academy. Women were just starting to get accepted so it was hard enough for them already. They did not need to hear the vile and ignorant remarks made by Webb in his article.

Plus, an expert tells us why revisiting romance is a terrible idea.
For many young adults, "ex sex" is just part of the breakup process. At least that's what a new study from Lucas County, Ohio has found.
Researchers collected data on 792 "emerging adults" between the ages of 17 to 24. All had been in a relationship in the past two years, and the study authors found that nearly half (44 percent) had hooked up with an ex post-breakup.
More on MSN Living: Kissing dos and don'ts
Researchers and relationship experts agree—post-breakup sex is a bad idea. In an article in the Journal of Adolescent Research, the study's authors wrote:
"Those who stay in contact following a breakup continue to feel the pain of the breakup more intensely and may have more difficulty moving on. Previous research found that college students who had sex with their exes mostly described this as a 'difficult or negative event.'"
More on MSN Living: 50 wedding cost-cutting tips from real bridesDating expert Shay "Your Date Diva" Williams agrees. She's a certified dating and relationship coach and has written extensively on the topic of "ex sex." She tells The Heart Beat that young adults may be more likely to hop in the sack with an ex for three reasons:
"Most times it is their first time at love or really bonding with another, and it is hard to break away from those strong attachments."
Second, they lack the experience to realize that "sex with the ex is a dead end street that leads to more pain and heartache." And finally, it's a familiar and comfortable way to find sexual satisfaction. For young ladies, this may be especially appealing, as they can avoid the stigma of increasing their "sexual number," Williams explains.
Aside from the obvious issue of prolonged heartbreak, Williams says there are a variety of reasons why ex sex is an awful idea.
"My favorite saying is that 'if the paint was wet when you got up, it will be still wet when you try to sit back down!' There is a reason why the relationship ended. Introducing sex into a situation with no boundaries leaves everyone emotionally vulnerable and unable to fully let go and trust each other. This leads to a downhill spiral of dysfunction in the relationship as it removes any motivation for the male to win back the affections of his ex. Sex with the ex is self-torture at it's best."
If youth is wasted on the young, then so is precautionary advice. We've all lived through a time when "do now, think later" was our main mantra. So what if you've already revisited romance and are now dealing with the repressions?
"The only way to start clearing your system of the surge of this hormone is to cut one's self off cold turkey," Williams tells us. "It will hurt at first but with time, a growing self-love and determination, you will wonder what you ever saw in the ex in the first place."

I thank God for such great salvation, and for everything that I am for everything I have. I had a real encounter with Jesus 18 years ago, still very young and very grateful for this, because I know that great deliverance He gave me, made me new creature and I declare with all my being that without Him I am nothing and can do nothing.
I still have dreams and believe that my dreams are dreams of God for my life. Our God is God and God of the alliance and promises not man for lying. His word meets the lives of those who expect it.
Never give up your dreams, do not let the struggles and tribulations of life turn off brightness of hope that is on you. Ask the Lord to renew your forces, give you wisdom and grace to meet the challenges and believe , you are a winner and God is faithful!

My daughter (about three weeks of age) sleeps roughly eighteen hours a day, and half of the time she's not sleeping, she's eating. The only problem is that the sleep comes in at most four hour stretches, interrupted by an hour or so of wakefulness, usually starting off with some loud crying for some food. That, along with chasing after a toddler, makes for some tired parents! In fact, I've often written during periods of time in the middle of the night bookended by feedings and crying.
