Some leaders souring on nuclear power costs
As the cost of building a new nuclear plant soars, there are signs of buyer's remorse.
Associated Press
As the cost of building a new nuclear plant soars, there are signs of buyer's remorse.
The second-guessing from officials in Georgia and Florida is a sign that maybe the nation is not quite ready for a nuclear renaissance. On top of construction costs running much higher than expected, the price of natural gas has plummeted, making it tough for nuclear plants to compete in the energy market.
In Georgia last week, Southern Co. told regulators it needed to raise its construction budget for Plant Vogtle in eastern Georgia by $737 million to $6.85 billion. At about the same time, a Georgia lawmaker sought to penalize the company for going over budget, announcing a proposal to cut into Southern Co.'s profits by trimming some of the money its subsidiary Georgia Power makes.
The legislation has a coalition of tea party, conservative and consumer advocacy groups behind it, but faces a tough sale in the Republican-controlled General Assembly. GOP Rep. Jeff Chapman found just a single co-sponsor, Democratic Rep. Karla Drenner.
As a regulated monopoly, Georgia Power currently earns about 11 percent in profits when it invests its own money into power projects. Chapman's legislation would reduce those profits if the nuclear project is over budget, as is the current projection.
"Conservatives do not believe in incentivizing failure," Debbie Dooley, a co-founder of the Atlanta Tea Party, recently told Georgia lawmakers. "They should not profit from this mistake."
Southern Co. has said the nuclear plant is still a better economic deal than the alternatives over the long run.
In Florida, lawmakers want to end the practice of utilities collecting fees from customers before any electricity is produced.
"The price tag keeps going up. The timeframe they are going to build it has been extended year after year after year," said state Rep. Mike Fasano, a Republican and self-described nuclear power supporter.
Fasano's bill would eliminate advance collections; a Democratic lawmaker filed a similar proposal.
"A lot of people are paying for something that they'll never see any return on their money," Fasano said.
The fees have also been targeted in court, but the Florida Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether to overturn them.
Southern Co. also benefits from advanced collections, though Georgia lawmakers have not focused on that money.
The Florida Public Service Commission voted in November to allow the state's two largest utilities to charge customers for $294 million this year for the costs of future nuclear facilities.
Progress Energy Florida, which has been purchased by North Carolina-based Duke Energy, has collected more than $819 million from its customers for two nuclear projects, according to the Florida Public Service Commission.
One was to expand the capacity of the now-crippled Crystal River plant, work that resulted in damage that shut down the facility.
The utility was also using the fee to pursue a new nuclear plant in Levy County.
Progress Energy Florida still needs a license for the plant from federal regulators and pushed back the opening of the first Levy County reactor to 2024. Some question whether it will be built at all.
Four GOP senators in Florida said recently they will seek to put limits on the collections. Lawmakers said their upcoming bill will set a deadline for utilities to start construction and make sure power companies cannot earn a profit off any prepayments if they do not build a nuclear facility.
"On the details, there is plenty of room for conversation," Sen. John Legg said at a Feb. 21 news conference. "But on these three principles there will be no room for compromise."

Travis Hafner will begin a rehab assignment tonight in Columbus. No timetable has been given for his return, but it is safe to say 3-5 games would be about right. Hafner was placed on the DL May 30th, and underwent a right medial meniscectomy (knee) on the 31st. It was generally assumed that Hafner would be back right after the All-Star break, but if he has no set-backs on his rehab assignment, it would appear Hafner will be back for a week before the break. Hafner is hitting .242 with an .819 OPS, 6 home runs and 24 RBI in 39 games this season. [Related: Left-handed starter problems continue]

From 'tired and emotional' to Nigel Farage's lunchtime pint: The wheels of Westminster democracy have always been well lubricated by booze
Samuel Muston
Samuel Muston is deputy editor & food editor of The Independent Magazine. He also writes a weekly food column
Sunday 09 June 2013
If the system of government in this country was not exactly built on the bottle, it has certainly been lubricated by it.
So when, while defending his attendance in European parliament debates, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said on Friday's Daybreak: "I work an 18-hour day most days and I think I'm entitled at lunchtime to a pint," he was merely echoing the sentiment of his forebears. Drink has been as familiar a companion to business as the order sheet or speaker's chair. Parliamentarians have often been fond of a glass of something to ameliorate the sometimes long hours and ease tedium of endless meetings.
Pitt the Younger rarely ever rose from the Commons' benches without the fortification of a bottle or three of port. But then he was Prime Minister at just 24.
Herbert Asquith was equally squiffy in the house, swaying like a palm tree in the wind during debates. A music hall ditty even ran: "Mr Asquith says in a manner sweet and calm: another little drink won't do us any harm."
Debate still rages over whether Winston Churchill was alcoholic. Certainly he was as dedicated to brandy as he was to champagne and he was a man of strong dedication. Yet in later years, reflecting on his reputation as a drinker, he was undisturbed: "Always remember I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me."
Of course, all of the above were helped along their way by the Palace of Westminster's historic wine cellar. Alas today's MPs can no longer buy a glass of claret for 30p in the House bars, as you could do in the 60s. After that members had to try much harder – but they managed. Famously Alan Clark, the uxorious philanderer and Tory MP, got up in the Commons to discuss equal pay after a "wine tasting". He was three bottles down and it was an unmitigated disaster. He slurred his way through his speech until Clare Short stood and said: "It is disrespectful to the house… that he should come here in this condition". The house went mad.
Still, Clark looks like a temperance campaigner in comparison to George Brown, who held various posts in Wilson's government. He was, according to his colleague Dennis Healey, rarely capable after midday and, thanks to Private Eye's regular references to his condition, left to the English language the euphemism "tired and emotional".
No one has accused Farage of being "tired and emotional" of course, in fact, he and his lonely lunchtime pint look positively ascetic in comparison to the mottled cast of characters that came before him. Must try harder, Nige.

Chain letters have been around forever. Literally. The first one ever in recorded history took place sometime Have you ever VLOGed... ON WEED??!?!?!around 500 BCE when an ancient Greek, who's name has been lost to history, sent a message to the ruler of Athens which read "Philosopher Plato found dead". Upon open it, he was annoyed to find the following message: "You opened this papyrus scroll when it said Plato was dead, but would you have opened it if it had read 'Jesus, I am a sinner and need you to save me'?" Legend has it that the ruler was so annoyed that he tore the scroll up before he read the "Forward this to at least 300 Spartans or your city-state will be overrun by Roman legions" clause. The rest, as they say, is history.
Fast forward to the common era, and we now have 8 trillion "ADULT SURVEY LOL" chain letters flooding Myspace and even Youtube, it seems, isn't immune. Today, we look at one of the million chain video things floating around the fetid underbelly of Youtube. Unlike the typical "Dale Earnhardt killed by the CIA" chain letters, this one is a bit different and deceptively simple: How many times can you say "Youtube" in 10 seconds?
Oh dear. Shaggy, I hate to interupt you, but I believe I see a ghost. Now, since that's out of the way, may I please have a Scooby Snack?Despite there being more of these stupid fucking videos on that internet than atoms of hydrogen in the universe, this was literally the only one that was funny (though I will admit I got an ironic chuckle out of the 11 year old who unashamedly aped Napolean Dynamite during his video).
We join the video in progress - approximately 5 minutes after this weirdo ginger smoked enough weed to think climbing in his bathtub to post a vlog was a good idea and 30 minutes before he cries himself to sleep as he finally realizes what he did. I'll hand it to him; he did do pretty well as far as "saying Youtube a lot" goes. It seems however, in his rush to finish the video so he could spray enough Febreeze to cover up the oder of marijuana and shame before his parents get home, he forgot a few things. In no particular order, they are:
The war on drugs is clearly an utter success.

"Once you have pubes ur too old for this nonsense."
"Lol everyone are naked under their clothes, can you imagine that?"

Chris Brown Investigated For Hit & Run Accident, He Denies Wrongdoing
UPDATE: Sources close to Chris Brown emerge for their argument and say that police have not contacted the Sony star.
Just days after Soulja Boy's Bentley was impounded for what is believed to be his second Southern California hit-and-run accident in 12 months, another music star is in trouble for a similar offense. According to TMZ.com, singer Chris Brown is currently under investigation for an accident last week. The Sony Records multi-platinum singer reportedly refuses to provide his license after his Range Rover SUV collided with a Mercedes Benz. Additionally, TMZ has reports that Brown provided false insurance information.
The exchange was captured on video, exclusively at TMZ—apparently with Brown's consent, though the exchange cannot be heard.
Following an accident, both parties are required to exchange insurance and identification, especially if a police officer is not present. Because Brown remains on probation for his February, 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna. If Brown is charged for any offense, he could face jail-time.
Brown and his label have yet to release a statement on the incident.
UPDATE: TMZ.com was reportedly contacted by sources close to Chris Brown. Including a photo of the Mercedes Benz bumper Brown allegedly hit, they argue that there was "no damage." Additionally, the sources maintain that Brown contacted the other driver numerous times, and she has been unreachable. These sources maintain that no authorities have contacted the singer, as of a week later.

Taizé's Prior, Brother Alois, and several other brothers visited North Korea, as part of a programme of visits to Myanmar, China, India and North and South Korea during October and November. The latest Taizé community newsletter talks about the group visiting all four churches in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, and praying in silence.
"In the only Catholic church at Pyongyang, we were received by a lay person in charge (there was no priest there); in one of the two Protestant churches by one of the pastors; and in the Russian Orthodox church by one of the two priests," said the brothers.
Brother Alois' delegation spent five days in N Korea at the invitation of the Red Cross.
"The Taizé community doesn't want to be passive in the face of isolation," he told The Tablet.
Brother Alois was received by Pope Francis at the Vatican on 28 November.
The Christian charity Open Doors rates N Korea as the worst country for the persecution of Christians in the world. Pyongyang sees the faith as Western and a threat. Christians were thought to have been among the 80 people whom officials publicly executed last month for offences that, according to a South Korean newspaper, the Joongang Daily, included "the possession of Bibles".

Radio Schedule Announced For Friday's Hockey, Basketball Games
March 19, 2013
The Minnesota men's hockey team and men's basketball team are both in post-season action on Friday, March 22. The men's hockey team will face either Colorado College or North Dakota at 7 p.m. in the WCHA Final Five, while the men's basketball team will face UCLA in the NCAA Tournament at 8:57 p.m.
The dueling events create a radio scheduling conflict, as both team's games can usually be heard locally on 1500 ESPN. Efforts have been made to insure that fans of both teams can listen to each game locally in the Twin Cities.
The men's hockey game, with a pre-game show beginning at 6:30 p.m., can be heard in its entirety on 1500 ESPN. The broadcast will include the post-game show as well. The radio call of the men's hockey game can also be heard for free on GopherSports.com.
The men's basketball game, with a pre-game show beginning at 8:25 p.m., can be heard in its entirety on FM 107.1. The broadcast will include the post-game show as well. Per NCAA rights agreements, the radio call of the mens' basketball game will not be available on GopherSports.com.
Once the men's hockey post-game show is over on 1500 ESPN, the channel will then join the basketball game in progress and simulcast the game call and post-game show live.

Linux 2.6.29 Kernel Released; Hello KMS and Btrfs!
Published on 23 March 2009 07:47 PM EDT

Linux Kernel

With much anticipation, the
Linux 2.6.29 kernel
was released just moments ago by Linus Torvalds. Besides
introducing an interim logo
to stand-in for Tux, the Linux 2.6.29 kernel most notably introduces support for
kernel mode-setting
on Intel hardware. Also in the graphics realm are a few updates to the
Graphics Execution Manager
and DRM updates for various pieces of hardware.
Also making the Linux 2.6.29 kernel exciting is that it brings support for
. Btrfs is the next-generation Linux file-system, but it's still in development so do not expect it to be the default on any Linux distribution in the immediate future. Until Btrfs is ready to shine in the Linux limelight, there is
, which did receive some updates in this kernel release after it was marked as stable in the
Linux 2.6.28 kernel
. SquashFS, which is used by many Linux LiveCDs, also finally entered the mainline kernel this time around.
Beyond the file-system and graphics processor excitement, there is now a 802.16 WiMax stack in the Linux kernel (not that you will find many consumer WiMax devices yet), eCryptfs filename encryption, and various new and updated hardware drivers.
The Linux 2.6.29 kernel release announcement can be found at
. After celebrating for a day or two, it's time to start thinking about Linux 2.6.30! We will have benchmarks of the Linux 2.6.29 kernel on Phoronix in the very near future. The weekend was spent benchmarking the kernels since Linux 2.6.24 to provide you with an interesting
Phoronix Test Suite

2014 numbers for drivers released by FIA
PARIS, Jan 10, 2014 (AFP) - Formula One drivers revealed their car numbers on Friday for the forthcoming season as well as the rest of their careers with former world champion Jenson Button using plastic ducks to highlight his choice. Governing body, the FIA, gave drivers a choice of numbers between 2 and 99 with the number one reserved for the defending world champion, currently Germany's Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel. Vettel will opt for the number five in 2015 should he lose the world title he has held since 2010. The decision to add permanent numbers to the vehicles was taken to boost the sport's marketing possibilities. McLaren's former world...

The excerpt above presumes that future voting behavior will be unaffected by the change in the rules. While we cannot be sure that this is the case, isn't it fair to say that voters will begin to make more inelastic judgments about players being in or out earlier in the life cycle of a candidacy?2. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: July 29, 2014 at 04:55 PM (#4759894)
Or maybe it is more accurate to say that we have no idea how voters will respond to this rule change? The consequences of the rule change are uncertain, and likely unintended.
Silver talks about that later in the article.3. puck Posted: July 29, 2014 at 06:39 PM (#4759976)

I was more interested in the World Cup of food. Group stage, knockouts. Indian food did not make it out of the group stage!
Forget the hall. Let's just talk about this!
Japan can't beat Greece? And you're right about India not advancing being a shocker. I can't believe Belgium beat out South Korea either.
Round of 16 featured no real surprises to me. Round of 8 had I think more to do with homerism and patriotism than anything else. After the round of 8 I could have predicted the winners all the way to the end.
The excerpt above presumes that future voting behavior will be unaffected by the change in the rules. While we cannot be sure that this is the case, isn't it fair to say that voters will begin to make more inelastic judgments about players being in or out earlier in the life cycle of a candidacy?
This rule will do what it was created to do, It will keep McGwire out of the hof, and probably Bonds and Clemens. As an unfortunate side effect it will probably also keep Raines out. It will make the PED voters who are wavering, stick by to their convictions longer and might even hurt guys like Bagwell or Piazza who are just 'rumored' guys.
I do not see any way this will speed people getting in, it's just going to encourage the voters to not vote for guys who don't look promising. With McGwire off the ballot, it only strengthens the anti-peders argument since he's not on there to remind them that there are writers voting for a confirmed user. (Note... I don't think McGwire was ever going to go in, but his presence on the ballot does strengthen Bonds and Clemens and others, especially among the few open minded writers who are willing to change their minds)
Well, it's hard to imagine a scenario where McGwire was getting in anyway -- maybe if 15 HoFers or 1 Derek Jeter confessed to using roids, the floodgates would open and at least 64% (raw) the 89% of voters who didn't list Mac on their 2014 ballots would switch over quickly.7. pthomas Posted: July 29, 2014 at 11:03 PM (#4760108)
It does sweep him under the rug after 2016 though.
It will reduce the amount of time Clemens and Bonds are on the ballot but they're still gonna be there for another 8 embarrassing years.
I simply don't see what "problem" this change solves. It doesn't get the roid guys off the ballots, it doesn't affect their nearly non-existent chances very much, it has a good chance of screwing Raines (especially) and possibly Bagwell, Mussina and Schilling -- Edgar and Walker are now dead in the water.
Maybe it was meant to push the existing Bonds/Clemens voters to drop them from their ballots in strategic voting.
It's always possible that the new rule will lead to substantially new behavior by the voters in the aggregate but I doubt it. I bet most of the time the typical voter doesn't know (or care) what year it is for a player unless it's his first or his last. So I doubt we'll see much change in patterns for ballots 2 through 9. Sure, if somebody is up to 65% in year 9 their chance of making it in year 10 is now a lot higher but they were almost certainly making it anyway.
What's missing from the analysis is the dynamics of people entering/exiting which is a big driver for vote gains/drops. The current situation is fairly dire not just because there are a lot of qualified candidates on the ballot but because there's a sizeable wave of them that will be entering the ballot over the next 5 years. We can't say with certainty that Johnson, Pedro and Griffey will all be elected (although that's pretty close) but we know they'll eat up a ton of votes (barring PEDs) along with Smoltz doing reasonably well. There's a bit of a lull -- slackers like IRod, Vlad and Manny -- but that's eventually followed by Chipper, Thome, Rivera, Jeter and whoever else I've forgotten.
Basically there's likely only room for one of the backlog in 2015 (Biggio), theoretically two but probably only one in 2016, 2017 is pretty wide open, then probably at most one in 2018 (Chipper, Thome come on). Unless the BBWAA makes a habit of three inductees, it doesn't matter that much where you are right now unless you're over 50% (maybe Raines) cuz you've only got one year where you've got a chance to see a big jump.
Since this was written by the man himself, I'll get persnickety on the statistics:
These answers aren't too far from the quick-and-dirty numbers that I came up with before.
Of course it wasn't. The Q&D results looked at guys in a debut point range and calculated the proportion who made it. The logistic regression uses the same variable in its continuous form and estimates the probability of making it. What data do you think the logistic is working off of? There is virtually no point in running a bivariate logistic regression, just use a table and chi-square or similar. No need to complicate life with a logistic regression unless you're going to control for additional variables.
It makes the Hall of Fame even more a waste of time to think about.8. DanG Posted: July 30, 2014 at 12:00 AM (#4760147)
The current situation is fairly dire not just because there are a lot of qualified candidates on the ballot but because there's a sizeable wave of them that will be entering the ballot over the next 5 years.Yep. Here are new candidates with 40+ WAR due to enter the ballot:
1st WAR Player Rank
Yep. Here are new candidates with 40+ WAR due to enter the ballot:That list is crazy!
I am no Scott Rolen fan, but still it is going to be depressing to watch him make a run for the biggest WAR to HOF vote ratio.
From that list11. cardsfanboy Posted: July 30, 2014 at 12:29 AM (#4760163)
In 2015 Pedro and Randy(joining Biggio) go in easily, and Giles is one and done off the ballot, leaving a left over of Sheffield, Delgado and Nomar. (Sosa(probably) and Mattingly drops off the ballot also) (adds three to the backlog, removes three)
In 2016 Kendall is one and done, Griffey in easily in, Edmonds sticks around. (McGwire and Trammel term limit off the ballot) (adds one to the backlog, removes two or more if Bagwell or Piazza go in)
In 2017 Drew, Vasquez, and Cameron are one and done...none of the new additions are likely to go in though, adding Manny, Irod, Vlad, and Posada to the backlog. Lee Smith and Raines are off the ballot one way or another at this point. It might be Bagwell and Piazza's best year to go in. (adds four to the backlog, removes two assuming nobody goes in, but I imagine both Bagwell and Piazza will be in by then.)
2018 Chipper goes in easily, Thome comes close or goes in, Moyer and Zambrano goes one and done...meaning a backlog of Omar, Rolen, Andruw, Santana, and Damon stick around.(Santana might also go one and done---see Kevin Brown)
Not counting 2019, basically you more or less don't have much addition to the backlog. Assuming I'm right here, it means you add
roughly five players to the backlog over who you remove, and this is assuming Larry Walker still gets 10%(unlikely) and that guys like Thome don't go in,
counting 2019 you have Rivera first balloter, I imagine Arod wouldn't be eligible yet, Halladay a guy who should be first ballot but probably won't, Oswalt, Polanco, and Tejada will be one and done, leaving Helton, Pettite, Berkman to be added to the backlog.... (McGriff is the only one coming off the ballot that year)
I am no Scott Rolen fan, but still it is going to be depressing to watch him make a run for the biggest WAR to HOF vote ratio.
He'll do better than Kevin Brown and his 68.5 war vs 12(2.1%) vote total.

April 9, 1999
COLUMBIA, Mo.- Six University of Missouri student-athletes have been named National Strength and Conditioning All-Americans by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The prestigious award program recognizes outstanding male and female athletes who have excelled in their strength training and conditioning. Selections are also based on community involvement, academic achievement, and leadership qualities.
Devin West and Todd Neimeyer of the Missouri football team headline the group. Also among those chosen were Andrea Czarnik (soccer), Rene Rosinski (volleyball), Kim Slover (softball) and Darren File (track and field).
"Having six student athletes receive this award really says something about our strength and conditioning program," said head strength and conditioning coach Don Sommer. "All of them are very deserving of the award because of their dedication to the program."

Eccentric hip-hop duo, Das Racist, made their TV debut on Monday night (November 28) with a live performance on Conan. The two rappers are known for their off-the-wall personas, and they put that all on display when they performed the single "Michael Jackson" from their debut album Relax. In addition to having a few hot percussionists on stage with them, they also enlisted a Michael Jackson impersonator to mimic some of the King of Pop's signature dance moves. Read more…

I hate to break it to ya, girlie, but the only safe tan is a
fake tan. "Real" tanning, whether you get it while sitting in the sun or lying
in a tanning bed, damages your skin even if you slather on the sunscreen. That
can cause bad burns, wrinkles, sun spots and even cancer. Who wants that? Not
To get a healthy, sun-kissed glow, try using bronzer during
the early spring months and a sunless tanning lotion as summer creeps closer. The
Jergens Natural Glow line is our top product pick, and comes in a variety of
formulas depending upon your skin tone.
One more thing before I sign off: To keep your skin fresh
and young, you should always wear sunscreen on your face and body. Even if it's
cloudy, your skin can still be damaged by UV rays sneaking through the
atmosphere. And from one porcelain princess to all the others out there: Pale
is pretty! Embrace your skin tone, sweeties.

Joe Gibbs still standing behind Hamlin
Joe Gibbs is standing by Denny Hamlin in the driver's appeal of his $25,000 NASCAR fine.
The Associated Press
Joe Gibbs is standing by Denny Hamlin in the driver's appeal of his $25,000 NASCAR fine.
But the owner of Joe Gibbs Racing doesn't have much more to say about the dispute over Hamlin's penalty for criticizing the Gen-6 race car.
After watching fellow JGR driver Kyle Busch finish second in Saturday's Nationwide Series race, Gibbs said he has talked to Hamlin about the brouhaha.
"We've been talking all along," Gibbs told reporters. "We're keeping our communication open with NASCAR, too. We'll just go through a process here and work our way through it."
Gibbs clammed up after that, referring everybody to his organization's statement that it would support Hamlin.
Hamlin is allowed to drive while appealing the fine, which he says he won't pay. NASCAR could take the fine out of his winnings.

Paris Hates When Cheesy Fans Touch Her
Paris news never ceases to amaze us. She is traveling the globe to promote herself as a pop star including a stop in South Beach. She has spoken about pretending to be certain characters but overall wants to come across as the nice girl. Turns out Paris isn't so nice all the time. Check out the quote that Liz Smith reports Paris said:
'I'M ALWAYS playing a character . . . I'm a brand . . . This place [Ago in Miami] is so cheesy. Everyone is so cheesy . . . They say they want a picture, but what they really want is to touch me. I hate it when they touch me . . . Make sure you let in my camera crew!" - That is a collection of remarks from Paris Hilton in Michael Joseph Gross' terrific profile of the faux star in Blender for September.
The interesting thing is that Hilton's naked quest to be famous - famous and nothing else - is often raised as criticism... Paris Hilton is exactly what the 21st century wants. A statement without explanation. Greeting fans last week outside a New York record store, she was lovely but utterly lackluster. Offering a limp hand and a weak smile, she fulfilled expectations. She exists, just as the magazines say she does. Period.

HoopsHype Charlotte Hornets twitter
HoopsHype | Players | Media | Spanish Media | French Media | Italian Media | Turkish Media
Final word: Don't trash @Tim Bontemps. Great person, great writer..Honest disagreement is a healthy thing.
I get all of Kemba's flaws. But if I were an NBA GM and I was offered Rubio for Walker, it would be a very short conversation.
This isn't a big deal -- different markets, different agendas -- but Ricky Rubio making more money than Kemba Walker doesn't make sense.
Redick has made himself some serious money, considering all the talk (ridiculous it was) that he wasn't an NBA player.
I so respect Kobe Bryant's passion. But on this team, it won't make much difference.
Jordan Hill making jump shots is the West Coast version of MKG making jump shots.
Last spring Jamal Crawford emailed a thank-you note to everyone who voted for him for 6th man. Manners from a different era.
Difference in Halloween living uptown and in the burbs: At 10 all the kids are home and all the "slutty nurse" outfits are just coming out.
So at 7 tonight I drove to the Teeter to buy some candy. Turns out no one in a South Charlotte townhouse community has trick-or-treaters.
Boris Diaw looks pudgie these days. That's actually a nice improvement.
I bet Goran Dragic is a player Pop would enjoy coaching.
Indignant, bug-eyed Tim Duncan is always entertaining.
OK, LeBron, that's just showing off.
I'd be fine with watching OT
Hinrich is still so clutch.
Opening night games as been way more exited then the playoffs games!! #nbaseason #loveforthegame
If you're not watching Cavs-Bulls, you might want to flip over. This game feels like it's June.
I'm not sure if the kids or the Ninja Turtles had more fun today at Hemby Children's Hospital! #NeverGrowUp http://t.co/FM55EE1iYX
Hornets need to win Saturday. It's the start of a rough 4 games-in-five nights run -- at Knicks, at Pelicans, home vs. Heat.
Hornets might catch a break tomorrow night. Grizzlies in a tight, physical game at Indiana tonight.
These Bulls-Cavs games are going to be terrific if both teams stay healthy.
Hornets spent much of practice working out counter-measures should teams heavily double Al Jefferson, as Bucks did. charlotteobserver.com/2014/10/31/528…
Wishing everyone a very happy and safe Halloween!! #noneedforscandals #Besafe
Joe Maddon a great hire for the Cubs.
I thought I'd be waiting out the extension deadline tonight. I'm impressed with how Hornets stepped up and got Kemba deal done.
Happy Halloween. Sun going down, trick-or-treaters coming out. Watch out for the little ones if you're driving.
ICYMI: Kemba Walker is "ecstatic" to be staying in Charlotte: charlotteobserver.com/2014/10/30/527…
Surprised I have to say this again: I'm glad to hear what you think. But when people are obscene or rude I block. You would, too.
Deion Sanders is just trashing Cam Newton. My.
Talk radio starter tomorrow: If Michael Jordan owned the Panthers...(yes that's sarcasm).
Er, um, uh, it's basketball season in Charlotte. Forty home games left and the playoffs.
It's as if Newton is surrounded by undrafted linemen...oh, wait.
Louisville is 5 minutes away from saying, "Really, ACC?"
They just showed Dan Gilbert looking none too happy Cavs are losing opener. Hope he doesn't have backdoor to team website. #comicserif
I say it again: The Panthers' best running back is, you know, not a running back.
Hornets fans stuck around through 3rd-quarter 24-point deficit. Curious to see reaction to this.
Cason chasin. Rot-roh.
Halftime diversion: There are 48 million reasons for Kemba Walker to smile today. But it's about more than the money: charlotteobserver.com/2014/10/30/527…
Burning question: Can one of these teams gain four yards and put points on the board?
You know those legendary basketball practices where the managers take the rims off the backboard? That's Saints-Panthers right now.
Man, the starting pitching in this Saints-Panthers game are both aces...
BREAKING: Roman Harper makes tackle.
Thanks, CBS, for providing that picture (yuck).
Gotta love any play where a fat guy gets to run with the ball.
Last night's opener was the second-best TV rating in franchise history for SportSouth: blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba…
"Hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes. We don't want to dig ourselves out of a hole like that again." -- Walker on 24-point comeback.
Cho said NBA's investigation on Jeff Taylor is not complete.
Rich Cho says they're following the NBA's lead regarding the Jeff Taylor situation. He's still away from the team.
"We're just thrilled to death to retain him." -- Rich Cho.
"We just felt Kemba is a big part of the team going forward." -- Rich Cho on the extension.
"I would love to be here as long as I can. I love the city of Charlotte." -- Kemba Walker.
"Kemba embodies everything we want in a Charlotte Hornet." -- Rich Cho.
Rich Cho says he's "ecstatic" about getting deal done with Kemba.
It's official -- Kemba Walker has signed his 4-year, $48 million extension.
Every time someone on Twitter tells me I don't know anything, the picture says, "I just started to shave."
He played like a guy who would be the 22nd pick.
This isn't a knock, he might end up a great player: But nothing Jabari Parker did tonight said, "Wow, he is special."
A crazy night when Charlotte NBA history was set: charlotteobserver.com/2014/10/29/527…
I know I turned "shot clock" into a punch line, but the Hornets committing 3 in the first 3 minutes of OT makes the point -- laughable.
I'm guessing there are 48 million reasons for Kemba to show up there on his day off.
1 p.m. press conference tomorrow with Kemba Walker and Rich Cho. Gee, I wonder what that might be about.
Three takeaways from a wild night in the Hornets' season-opener: blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba…
To use Clifford's term "intramural substitutions" don't work in the NBA because no one plays enough to develop rhythm.
Clifford can't play all these shooting guards. So PJ sat and Hendo played just 9 minutes.
Lance Stephenson throws down a monster one-handed slam against the Bucks ble.ac/13g7Vz7 http://t.co/76hNN0ES0a
Tonight was the biggest comeback in Charlotte NBA history.
Shout out to all the fans for coming out.. Great way to start the season!! #BuzzCity #hornetsback #Biznation
Huge night for Kemba Walker -- 26 points, six rebounds and five assists.
Lance Stephenson looks pretty ginger along the bench.
Shot clock 3...Jeez.
Shot clock 2
And Bucks shot clock.
Shot clock.
Lotta people getting their money's worth at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Big 3 from the new $48 million man.
Stephenson takes a charge on Middleton.
Kemba 3-pointer makes it an 8-point deficit, then Bucks commit turnover.
Gerald Henderson has played nine scoreless minutes, none since halftime.
Nine-point game on a Cody Zeller dunk.
End of third: Bucks 83, Hornets 68. Bucks shooting 52%
Brandon Knight might end up with a triple-double. He's at 18 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds.
Stephenson VERY frustrated.
Maxiell coming back in -- a benched Biz, it seems.
Cody Zeller 3 fouls in 12 minutes.
Stephenson slam.
Lance Stephenson makes first basket -- a drive -- after going 0-of-6.
Jared Dudley technical.
Ball isn't finding Big Al much. Might explain the 38 percent from the field.
Big Al is hot about how refs are treating him tonight.
Rough start for Lance Stephenson -- scoreless first half on 0-of-4 from the field.
Halftime: Bucks 57, Hornets 46.
Mystery call against Al Jefferson that time.
Interesting that Maxiell got the first shift behind Jefferson, not Biyombo.
Technical on Kemba.
MKG jump shot is first basket scored by a new-age Hornet.
Former team owner Robert Johnson siting at mid-court first row.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass on Jeff Taylor: "We are aware of Jeffery Taylor's plea today. The NBA's investigation of the matter is continuing."

From the World
July Fri 29, 2011
<< Prima Pagina
Habiba Bulle, instead, has been in the camp a little less than a month. She told me about the herd of goats she had in Somalia, in Gedoo. The draught destroyed her livestock, leaving her without everything. Thus, after the death of her husband, she walked with her children towards Dadaab, escaping from the war and the al-shabaab, an Islamist insurrectionist group that is active in Somalia and creates problems for the population. Her trip took six days from the border to the refugee camp. When she arrived, she was received by the Community Leader, who helped her find a place to stay. She is not working in the camp and she continues to repeat that God will give her food every day.
A little more than a week has passed since the appeal from the Pope for the crisis of drought in Eastern Africa. In the meantime, the UN also declared it an emergency and the Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said that "we need international mobilization in favor of the Horn of Africa". It is true. We are in a difficult situation that calls for a large effort from public opinion in the world. But we also need a new way, a more human way, to look at these tens of thousands of faces that crowd the gates of the camp every day. To not allow the hunger and thirst to erase that glimmer of dignity that still shines in their eyes. The same dignity that pushes Kalar to get up every morning to help those that, like him a year ago, arrive with nothing. To confront the crisis, AVSI is answering the call of AGIRE (www.agire.it), the Italian Emergency Response Agency, to collect additional resources.

Allergy: mystery of the sun
Tuesday 22 August 2006
When in the sun, I get a prickly red rash. It appears anywhere exposed to the sun, but not my face. Even if I stay out of the sun, I still get a rash in hot countries. Sunscreen doesn't help. Is there a solution, short of holidaying in Iceland?
Dr Fred Kavalier answers your health question:
The ultraviolet rays of the sun are causing a reaction in your skin called polymorphic light eruption (PLE or PMLE). This is an allergic-like condition that causes the symptoms you describe. PLE is probably caused by an abnormal reaction of the body's immune system when exposed to UV radiation. The only solution is to stay out of the sun, or you could undergo a course of desensitisation phototherapy or photochemotherapy with a dermatologist. In the spring, you have a series of treatments that increase your skin's ability to withstand UV rays. You don't get a rash on your face probably because you are desensitising your face naturally.
Please mail your questions for Dr Fred to firstname.lastname@example.com. He regrets that he is unable to respond personally to questions.
