Silicon Valley (Version 2.0) Has Hopes Up
By GARY RIVLIN
Published: June 22, 2004
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 21 — "Silicon Valley is back" is on the lips of eager entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, who are rejoicing over the success of Google and pointing to the modest comeback in computer sales. The three-year-long depression, they say, is over.
But other signs tell a different story. The famed traffic jams of Silicon Valley's boom times are still uncommon. A last-minute reservation at some of the area's hot restaurants, like Tamarine or Spago Palo Alto, can still be had. And a suite in a gleaming office park that would have cost nearly $10 a square foot in monthly rent in 1999 can now be had for less than $3.
Big portions of sprawling projects built on optimism in the mid-1990's, like the Midpoint Technology Park in Redwood City, sit dark and unoccupied. On Mission College Boulevard in Santa Clara, 750,000 square feet of office space is still available in an archipelago of office parks built during the boom.
The optimists tend to compare today's prospects with that of the mid-1990's, when Netscape Communications' initial public offering in August 1995 touched off the greatest boom the area has ever witnessed. They believe that a new era, which some are calling Web 2.0, is here.
"It feels like we're 12 months, 18 months away from the equivalent of the Netscape I.P.O.," said Andrew Anker, a former venture capitalist who this month became executive vice president at Six Apart, a start-up based in Silicon Valley that aims to help businesses publish Web logs, or blogs.
Still, in more sober moments, even the optimists admit that this period is something quite different from the boom of the late 1990's.
"I think people have been waiting so long for anything positive that a little bit of green looks to them like a lush forest," said Konstantin Guericke, the co-founder of LinkedIn, a business networking company and one of Silicon Valley's higher profile start-ups.
Indeed, conditions do look relatively good because things have been so bleak for so long. The area lost nearly a fifth of its jobs after the end of the bubble in 2000, said Mark Zandi, the chief economist at the consulting firm Economy.com. Looking strictly at job losses, he said, the San Jose metropolitan area, which includes much of Silicon Valley, suffered the worst collapse of any metropolitan area in the United States since the Great Depression, surpassing Detroit, which lost 13 percent of its jobs in the early 1980's.
"You're starting to hear about profits at some companies, double-digit jumps in chip sales, and about increases on the executive compensation side of things," said Stephen Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto. "But I think you can say Silicon Valley is on an upswing only if you don't care about the 200,000 jobs that disappeared when the bubble burst."
Since 2000, the region has added one new job for every 15 jobs lost, according to data provided by Mr. Levy, and added roughly 13,000 jobs over the last four months.
"At that rate a jobs recovery is going to take a long, long time," he said, maybe through the end of the decade. Silicon Valley's unemployment rate of 5.9 percent does not sound extremely high, but as Mr. Levy points out, tens of thousands of workers left the area after the collapse.
Office vacancy rates in the region were below 4 percent during the boom, but reached 18 percent in the second half of 2003, according to BT Commercial Real Estate/NAI. That figure now stands at 17.6 percent, even though office rental rates are at their lowest level in more than seven years, according to that firm's Silicon Valley Office Report. (Home prices in the area, however, are at record highs, according to DataQuick Information Systems, a real estate data firm based in San Diego.)
"Silicon Valley is no longer at death's door," said Mike Moeller, director of corporate communications at Hewlett-Packard . "People are no longer in shock. But is Silicon Valley back? That's like saying a patient who was in diabetic coma for several years is healthy again because he can lift his head and open his eyes."
The optimists, though, cite the visitor parking spots at Cisco Systems , the network equipment maker. For the first time in years they are filled with representatives from start-ups hoping to cut a deal with the company. The busy lunch corridors, whether Castro Street in Mountain View or University Avenue in Palo Alto, are once again filled with junior moguls in the making wearing khakis and blue oxford shirts, the standard Silicon Valley uniform.
"The bleeding has stopped," said Alex Resnik, a part-owner of Spago Palo Alto. No longer do "three youngsters in their late 20's spend $3,000 on dinner," he said with a frown, but the restaurant is starting to do a brisk business again in wines that sell for $60 a bottle.
The economic rebound and a modest rise in technology spending by corporate America have been good for companies that specialize in critical software areas like security. But companies selling less than crucial products have not experienced big improvements.

Provides that limited liability companies are not allowed to make political contributions to candidates for elected offices.
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the limited liability company law and the election law, in relation to campaign contributions
PURPOSE : To prohibit limited liability companies from making campaign contributions.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of the bill would amend the limited liability law to add a new section 1105 that would prohibit limited liability companies from making campaign contributions.
Section 2 of the bill would amend section 14-114 of the election law to add a new subdivision 9 that would prohibit limited liability companies from making campaign contributions.
Section 3 of the bill specifies the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION : It is widely believed that our campaign finance laws need substantial changes to ensure the integrity of elections in our state. This bill does not address the broad range of issues that might be addressed in a comprehensive reform package. However, this bill would close one enormous loophole in the current system. Under current law, as interpreted by the judiciary, each LLC is considered a separate contributor and may make the maximum allowable contribution. Since a single individual or a small group of individuals often control multiple limited liability companies (LLCs)-in some cases a very large number of such LLCs-the treatment of these LLCs as separate contributors effectively allows one or more individuals to make a virtually unlimited amount of campaign contributions. In addition, making contributions through LLCs often serves to mask the identity of the individuals making the choice to contribute.
This bill would rectify this by simply banning contributions from LLCs, as has already been done in New York City for municipal elections and in other jurisdictions.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : This is a new bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : None.
EFFECTIVE DATE : This act shall take effect immediately.
STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 7063 IN SENATE March 10, 2010 ___________Introduced by Sen.

Skeleton Santa Claus hanging from a cross. A painting featuring the manger birth of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. A traditional Nativity scene. The local Jedi wishing that the Force is with our troops.
It must be Christmas in Leesburg, Va. Keeping with the historic town's new holiday tradition, all of these scenes were erected in the yard in front of the Loudoun County Courthouse last year by community groups hoping to share their own brand of season's greetings.
Nontraditional and provocative holiday displays have been featured on the yard since 2009, when the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors lifted a ban on courthouse displays and allowed community groups "equal access" to the grounds. And while this leaves the door open to anyone to showcase his beliefs, not everyone likes the way that different groups have been decking the grass mall.
"[This is] another example of putting fingers in eyes of shoppers and businesses and trying to make a mockery of Christmas holidays — that's what they're really about. They're hell bent on trying to destroy people's holidays," said Ken Reid, a supervisor representing the Leesburg district.
In early December, the county-sponsored Christmas tree, menorah and Santa Claus and sleigh decorations will go up. New, stricter regulations for the community displays, however, may limit the number and variety of holiday wishes greeting people in the historic downtown. Earlier this month, the board of supervisors required that someone be with each display at all times.
There were nine displays on the Loudoun County courthouse lawn last year, including Middleburg resident Jeff Heflin Jr.'s controversial crucified Santa Claus.
So far, according to Loudoun County officials, there is just one application for a December display — an information booth run by the American Atheists.
Rick Wingrove, the Virginia director for American Atheists, will have a booth featuring banners with quotations from historical atheists Albert Einstein and John Adams. It will also feature public readings of books such as Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species." Mr. Wingrove also received a permit for his display in November, and has spent weekends this month minding the booth. He does not anticipate that someone will be on the lawn every day in December and, so far, the display has been taken down each evening.
"The board made it really onerous for everyone but religious groups to put up displays," said Mr. Wingrove said. "We will not have the exposure as in the past."
The displays and public outcry have made Leesburg's courthouse lawn a must-see decoration destination. The notoriety has brought new attention to the rest of the downtown district.
"I wouldn't say the publicity, the reputation, or the rigmarole have been negatively impacting downtown Leesburg," said Butch Porter, president of the Leesburg Downtown Business Association.
Ed Shihadeh, owner of Shoes Cup and Cork Club, a coffee shop across the courthouse lawn, said there is an uptick in business when the displays are set up, though the overall impact has not been significant.
Similar tensions between religious groups and atheists have played out in Santa Monica, Calif.
A firestorm ensued last year after atheist groups put up anti-God messages next to Nativity scenes along the Santa Monica beach in Palisades Park. The atheist groups' displays, like the crucified Santa in Leesburg, were subsequently vandalized.
Earlier this month, a Los Angeles federal judge declared a ban on all unattended private displays from city parks.
While Mr. Wingrove has participated in courthouse lawn holiday decorations for years, he criticized this year's Loudoun County-sponsored displays that can stand unattended — a Christmas tree, menorah and Santa with his sleigh — as promotion of specific religious beliefs and a violation of the separation of church and state.
But Mr. Reid disagrees.
"None of the religious organizations in the county have had any problem with what we're doing," he said. "It's strictly this group of terrorists. They're fanatics who basically want to stamp out religion in all public life and property."

Recently departed directors of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) are warning budget cuts, the loss of key staff, and a lack of leadership is undermining the agency's ability to protect Australia's greatest natural wonder.
In exclusive interviews with the ABC, three former senior directors have explained their reasons for accepting voluntary redundancies in the wake of an internal restructure and a $2.8 million Federal Government cut to GBRMPA's budget.
In total, five directors and a dozen other staff have decided to take a package and leave, in what some are calling the biggest loss of expertise in the authority's history.

The carcasses of two great white sharks caught off the coast of Esperance, in southern Western Australia, will be cut open after a surfer was attacked.
Sean Pollard, 23, lost part of an arm and his other hand in the attack at Kelpids Beach, Wylie Bay, on Thursday morning. He remains in Royal Perth Hospital.
Two great white sharks were caught and killed after WA's Department of Fisheries deployed drum lines off the beach following the incident.
The sharks have been taken to Perth by truck for research purposes but the Department of Fisheries has conceded it might not be possible to confirm whether the sharks killed were involved in the attack.

Talk to Me: Zadie Smith and Gemma Sieff
English writer Zadie Smith has accomplished so much in the past 11 years. Her first novel, White Teeth, was published in 2000 before she even turned 25. Now, she's got two additional novels, a number of short stories, and a growing body of criticism under her belt. Smith was also named a tenured creative writing professor at New York University last September and was recently made the critic for Harper's Magazine's "New Books" column.
On Wednesday, Smith discussed her new role as critic with her new editor at Harper's, Gemma Sieff. The two talked about how writing criticism differs from fiction writing and Smith's love-hate obsession with the Internet.
Bon Mots
On writing non-fiction versus fiction: "The thing I'm attracted to when I'm writing non-fiction is that you don't know, but you can know, right? There's a possibility of knowing. You can control the area in which you write. And to me it feels like a small formal garden and I can make it as nice as possible. Whereas novels are absolutely chaotic and messy and embarrassing."
On writing criticism: "The kind of reviewing I like, or the kind I aspire to, takes another moment. It's easy to feel contempt for writing, or to get one over on it. I guess I'm trying to read a book along its own grain, and not against its grain. I don't have enough energy to write about something I hate.
On writing in a digital world: "When I'm using the Internet I am addicted. I'm not able to concentrate on anything else. This isn't a fancy argument. I'm trying to be honest. It's pathetic— like a drug addicted. I had to get e-mail taken off my phone!"

In its latest move to enhance shareholders' value,
The Walt Disney Company
) now intends to repurchase $6 billion to $8 billion of shares in
fiscal 2014, Reuters reported. Jay Rasulo, the Chief Financial
Officer of this diversified media entertainment company said that
the buyback activity to some extent will be funded by borrowed
capital in a manner that the debt rating is maintained.
If we look at Disney's buyback history, this Zacks Rank #3
(Hold) stock has shown significant jump in its stock repurchasing
activity with this announcement.
The company had repurchased 72 million shares for $3
billion during fiscal 2012, 135 million shares for $5
billion during fiscal 2011 and 80 million shares for $2.7
billion in fiscal 2010. In the first nine months of fiscal 2013,
the company had bought back 49 million shares for $2.7 billion.
In the last concluded quarter, Disney repurchased 12.6 million
shares for approximately $800 million.
We believe that Disney's prudent cash balance coupled with the
capability of generating healthy cash flow from recent
investments made in the past as well as borrowing capacity
provide ample avenues to garner fund for operational activities,
capital expenditures and other expansion programs.
Disney remains focused on deploying its capital toward
expanding its Parks and Resorts business, and in turn, enhancing
its markets and creating long-term growth opportunities. The
company will inaugurate a new theme park resort in Shanghai in
2015. The company also made it clear that it will continue to
extend its wings through acquisitions, as done in the past,
citing examples of Lucasfilm and Marvel Entertainment. Moreover,
the company is gradually enhancing its operations in emerging
economies such as Russia, China and India.
Walt Disney is one of the world's largest diversified
entertainment companies and commands a formidable portfolio of
globally recognized brands, primarily its namesake brand - Walt
Disney, followed by ABC, ESPN, Pixar and Marvel. These renowned
brands offer a strong competitive edge to the company and bolster
its well-established position in the market against major players

A Perl script controls Tmux configuration
Split Windows
split-window statements in lines 47 and 48 with the
-h (horizontal) and
-v (vertical) options create additional panes in the window by dividing the window horizontally and vertically. Tmux numbers windows and panes from 0 up – but be careful, a frequently used Tmux configuration option changes the start point of the enumeration to 1!
In other words, to address the second pane of the first window in the
log4perl session of a newly installed Tmux, line 55 uses
log4perl:0.1; it then issues
send-keys to run the command for the test suite, followed by a closing
C-m (for Return). However, you could just as easily use
vagrant ssh to change to a Vagrant VM, as described in the previous issue of this Perl column [4], and ensure that the test suite is running in a virtual cleanroom. Line 51 finds the first two
.pm files in the hierarchy of the selected Perl project and passes in their names to the
vim editor with the
-p option, which displays them in tabs in the left-hand pane (Figure 2).
Tmux is included in many distributions' repositories; on Ubuntu, the command
sudo apt-get install tmux
will do the trick. Because the Tmux developers seem to have been very busy of late, users will want to go for version 1.7 at least – or even 1.8 – to take advantage of all the features introduced in this article. If you prefer a more DIY approach, you can pick up the source code [2] and build your own version. The only important dependencies are for libevent (at least 1.4.14 or 2.0) and ncurses. A Bash script available at GitHub [5] automates the build process.
Brian Hogan's book [6] provides useful tips for common tasks – from developer environments through pair programming, wherein two developers in two locations type in different panes in the same session. Even better: If you check the script into your source control system, the next engineer can simply fire up the development environment and start working productively right away.

It should come as no surprise to readers of this space that our endorsement for the Democratic nomination for the 64th Ohio House District seat goes to Michael O'Brien. We have supported O'Brien for most of his three decades in politics in Trumbull County.
That said, we are impressed with the two other candidates seeking the nomination in the May 6 primary, Ken MacPherson and Eugene Mach II. Both are newcomers to politics, yet hearing them discuss the pressing issues confronting the district, the region and the state of Ohio leads us to the conclusion either one would represent the 64th with distinction in the Ohio House of Representatives.
It's almost a waste to have three strong candidates seeking one position, given the dearth of good contenders in so many other races in the Mahoning Valley.
So, why do we endorse O'Brien for the party primary? Because he knows the district (it includes the city of Warren, Warren Township, Howland Township and several other rural communities) like the back of his hand.
He has served as a Trumbull County commissioner, mayor of Warren and Warren councilman, which means he not only has first-hand knowledge of the issues and challenges confronting the area, but has a personal relationship with most of the elected officials and other public employees in the Valley.
Indeed, O'Brien, the son of former long-time county Clerk of Courts Margaret O'Brien, has established a close working relationship with governments in Mahoning and even Columbiana counties, which means he would be in a position to not only represent the 64th District, but to work with other members of this region's state legislative delegation.
That said, if a voter in next month's Democratic primary is of the opinion that local politics needs new blood, either MacPherson or Mach would fit the bill. Neither has run for public office before, but listening to each one's view on such crucial topics as job creation, K-12th grade education funding and the controversial fracking system of drilling for oil and gas, you would think they've been in the business of government for a long time.
Indeed, it's uncanny how each of the three candidates offers similar solutions to such long-standing problems as funding for public education. O'Brien, MacPherson and Mach are of the opinion that the Republican-controlled state House and Senate have not adhered to the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling that the current system of funding public primary and secondary education through property taxes is unconstitutional.
Addressing the problem
The three candidates for the Democratic nomination for the 64th House District agree that the Republican-controlled Legislature must seriously deal with the funding issue.
Likewise, they are critical of the GOP's slashing the Local Government Fund in order to balance the state's biennium budget.
O'Brien, MacPherson and Mach contend that local governments have been forced to cut spending because of what was done in Columbus. They insist that the money should be restored and have pledged to take the fight to the General Assembly.
It should be clear by now that while we endorse O'Brien for the Democratic nomination, we would not be overly concerned if either MacPherson or Mach were to win.
However, given his depth of experience, his first-hand knowledge of the issues confronting the district and his regional political reach, we strongly endorse O'Brien.
The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican Randy Law and Green Party candidate Elaine Mastromatteo in the general election.
Why did the Vindy endorse O'Brien? Because they like the same old same old. They wouldn't give a new person a chance on just one interview. What shame! Myself I won't vote for anyone that the Vindy endorses , it's really is time for mass changes in the politics in this valley. O'Brien has served long in enough in GOV"T. After all he knows just how to snow people into believing how good he is.
It's time to get career politicians out. We need new blood, new ideas, and new strategies. Although O'Brien isn't a bad person, he has just been around forever and has done NOTHING. The 64th isn't my district, but I can't get behind O'Brien. He needs to go enjoy his retirement. Let somebody with new ideas, and energy go out and do the job. I don't believe he wants to do this because he cares. He wants to do this for the money, power and creation of even more connections.
Let's ask Mikey why he took voter designated funds for safety services and put them in general fund? I bet his answer will make no sense.
I believe Ken Macpherson would be the better choice in this particular race. Ken has been dedicated to teaching a better understanding of the constitution and has been involved in defending individual liberty for at least ten years that I have known him. He is well aware of and involved in the intricate workings in Trumbull county politics and has been an inspiration to many young people interested in trying to understanding our economy. It is time for new blood in Trumbull county. It is time to support candidates like Ken Macpherson. You can't go wrong when you vote for Ken on May 6th.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
Republican pollsters, data gatherers, analysts, number-crunchers and other members of the party's behind-the-scenes apparatus are openly acknowledging how badly they were whipped in 2012 by President Obama's political machine.
In old school and new school politics - knocking on doors and connecting with voters on Twitter, respectively - the Republican Party found itself several steps behind the Obama campaign, which took its 2008 approach and improved upon it.
"You will not find a single Republican who thinks we're getting these things right," Ben Domenech, editor of the daily political newsletter The Transom, said Tuesday as part of a Heritage Foundation panel that met to discuss how far behind Republicans have fallen in digital politics and what can be done about it.
One part of a complex solution, several panelists said, can be found in Democrats' loss in 2004, when then-President George W. Bush bested John F. Kerry, and what the defeated party did afterward. In the years following that election, Democrats not only launched their "50-state strategy" that helped Mr. Obama win previously red states such as North Carolina, but they also embraced new political consultants and other figures to help reinvent the party.
"If we don't seize the opportunity in the same way, we're going to be in some trouble," said Patrick Ruffini, a Republican strategist and president of Engage, a D.C. political media firm.
Younger Republicans, Mr. Ruffini said, need to spearhead new voter outreach efforts and help improve the party's data-collection and polling.
"It's up to us to start new [efforts], not wait for a big donor to come fund one," he said.
To its credit, the Republican Party isn't ignoring the fact that the Obama campaign seemed better organized and much more equipped to attract new voters and ensure that its 2008 constituency again came to the polls.
In last week's 98-page election post-mortem, formally known as "The Growth and Opportunity Project," Republican leaders didn't sugarcoat the issue.
"Democrats had the clear edge on new media and ground game, in terms of both reach and effectiveness. Obama's campaign knocked on twice as many doors as the Romney campaign," the report read in part. "The president's campaign significantly changed the makeup of the national electorate by unleashing a barrage of human and technological resources previously unseen in a presidential contest."
Republicans also conceded that "there are many lessons to be learned" by examining the Obama campaign's approach.
While figuring out more effective ways to use Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and other online tools is an important part of the puzzle, the failed Mitt Romney campaign also fell victim to poor polling data, panelists at Tuesday's event said.The campaign, for example, was under the impression it had a real chance of prevailing in states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - both of which went for the president by wide margins.
At the heart of the problem, some analysts say, is that the Romney camp relied on models assuming voter turnout simply wouldn't be as high as it was in 2008.
That turned out not to be the case. In some key demographics, such as young voters, Mr. Obama actually got more votes than he did four years ago."When you have instances where people look at the data and have bad expectations about the data then we have problems," said Alex Lundry, vice president and director of research at TargetPoint Consulting, a market research firm.

Right now, pediatricians prescribe special hypoallergenic infant formula to try and treat colic, but none of it has been proven in studies to be effective in treating the condition.
"During our study, we also found that the babies that didn't have colic had more types of bacteria in their intestines. The presence of more bacteria may indicate that specific bacterial species (phylotypes) are beneficial to humans," Rhoads said.
A larger study is needed to examine Klebsiella and the use of a probiotic, which is a dietary supplement made up of good bacteria, to control the gut inflammation. Before that can begin, Rhoads said an adult trial will take place to examine the safety of the probiotics in healthy adults. For that study, UT researchers are recruiting 40 adult patients.

Last winter, the man largely credited with morphing the Washington Nationals from perennial losers to the talk of the town left D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray a voice-mail message.
The ball club that eventually would take home the best regular season record in the major leagues had received its first honor of the year, so general manager Mike Rizzo thought the big man at city hall — and the Nats' No. 1 fan — should know about it.
"He said, 'Hey, Mayor, I just wanted to let you know. Remember we had the worst farm system in baseball? We just got voted as having the best farm system in baseball,' " Mr. Gray recalled Friday from his sixth-floor office at the John A. Wilson Building.
In late September, Mr. Rizzo sent Mr. Gray a ball cap and a handwritten note to thank him after the Nats clinched a spot in the postseason with a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The hat simply said "Playoffs," a word that hadn't been associated with a D.C. baseball club since 1933.
About a week later, the Nats clinched their first National League East title, capping an amazing turnabout from the losing seasons that had marked the club's tenure since moving from Montreal in 2005.
The mayor is far from the only Washingtonian giddy at the prospect of the city's first postseason baseball game in 79 years, and not the only local fan likely to have trouble attending to his day job when the first pitch is set to be thrown Wednesday at 1:07 p.m.
Employers say they are expecting more than a few absences because of "Nationals flu." Local sports-bar owners throughout the region are projecting an unusual midday, midweek rush of business when Nationals' starting pitcher Edwin Jackson takes the mound against the world champion St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the best-of-five series.
Dwayne Langley, master barber at Perfect Cut on H Street Northeast, said he was hoping for a slow day at the office so he and his fellow barbers can cut out to the bar next door to watch the game.
"We'll probably just slide on down there to Argonauts," Mr. Langley said.
Mr. Gray, who grew up in Northeast and spent most summers playing ball in sandlots near his home from sunrise to sunset, is relishing his de facto role as the Nats' biggest cheerleader, punctuating his news conferences with talk of a "Beltway Series" against the Baltimore Orioles and assertions that the "Big Red Machine" — a moniker for the dominant Cincinnati Reds teams of the '70s — now plays on South Capitol Street. He hopes to be at the ballpark Wednesday afternoon when the Nats host the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the Divisional Series.
It is not uncommon for a politician to curry favor with his constituents by touting the home team, especially during a playoff run. Trash talk, boundless optimism and silly wagers with rival mayors are the norm.
But seldom do these politicians have the athletic bona fides of Mr. Gray, who played in youth leagues against players four years older than he was and knocked baseballs out of almost every high school field in the city — decades before a 19-year-old phenom named Bryce Harper launched bombs into the Nevada desert and brought watch-through-your-fingers base running to the ballpark along the Anacostia River.
Rooftops and flagpoles
Mr. Gray, 69, played football growing up, "but I loved baseball more than anything," he said.
He was pretty good at it, too. Mr. Gray worked his way from the sandlot near Gallaudet University to the recreational leagues to Dunbar High School, where his standout power eventually earned him a reputation as a top-flight ballplayer.

Mexico: The Trip Comes to an End
Posted by: | February 20, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
After a near perfect climb, complete with a very bright full moon and excellent sunrise casting a conical mountain shadow over the plateau below, our team made it safely back to Piedra Grande. There we broke camp and loaded the trucks for our cruise back to Tlachichuca. On our drive down we were able to see our day's work with remarkable clarity. Back in town we got cleaned up and packed before a celebratory dinner at Doctor Reyes' house. Everyone enjoyed a well-deserved rest in the converted factory before one last breakfast in Mexico. Then it was off to Mexico City with views of La Malinche, Ixta and Orizaba along the way. Thanks for a great trip everyone and great job!

if you hang out with too many black people youll end up raped, robbed, or in prison
justin timberlake shouldnt do songs with stupid nig*ers
You shouldn't breathe...
If you hang out with too many white people all you start talking about is the Beatles and Nirvana... smh
Nirvana is overrated just because Cobain, Beatles got few classics
from the veiw up here your governent is doing shit right now nothing to do with pigmentation you fucking retard there is such thing as white trash too so your point is invalid coing from a white class canadian Ive met alot more stupid white people in my day than any other type but i guses thats the market im in
if you surround yourself with more white people, you might do something with your life. or at least stop taking all the government money to buy 40oz clothes and blunts. use that welfare to buy a book instead of wasting it on two bit sluts at your local strip club.
damn, whats your problem,its just a f****** song,what does white people has to do here

Nice collab, I like
Justin and Tim has done it again! Jay z was awesome also!
JT aite. Why all the hate. He got light skills. Pop skills. He aint know rkelly, TGT, etc - but he aite. Aint like he thinks he's MJ - he know he just aite. Timbo is on fire tho...
singing shes gonna eat them than take em to the bars 666
so your saying sade was singing to 13 year old boys in kiss of life video crazy
This white fuck thinks he's mike jackson. Listen u ll fuck - one thing clear u will never be the king of pop. All these white artists trying steal the black figures in music. The whole time they've been ripping black artists and stealing their style all the way from elvis
Ay yo Nas weren't you the one that wrote "Nobody's Original"? I think we have a fraud here....
Michael was a brother with class and he didn't want to be white. He did some suspect shit, don't get me wrong, but he was fresh on the scene and all the bitches loved him...so I can't hate on that. JT is talented too, but he needs to start really singing instead of dropping diddy bops while leaning on Jay...
michael jackson was black but wished he was white so fuck him too....bringing race into your argument doesnt help when the king of pop himself was a sellout for the record Im black and dont like either JT or MJ
so true preach
Kill yourself you stupid fuck
WTF?! Jigga has turned into that lazy azz Ni^^a.
jay is so garbage lyrically these days. one bar. UH. one bar. UH. he's rapping at drake levels. JT is a queer. wigger michael jackson wannabe. molested boy band bitch. weak actor. jay-z is completely out of gas. just one wack verse after another. magna carta was a fail. who listens to that trash still? samsung saved that piece of shit with their pre hype roll out. jigga is washed the fuck up.
People that don't like Hov are usually (and I say that lightly) those that confuse what being a lyricist is. I mean yeah you have pure underground lyricists that are extremely ill on the mic...but to be able to adapt to all climates, spit better than BIG (even though noone will say it), and have the whole world (except for the haters) respect your craft is legendary....period.
dudes are too fucking dumb to grasp jay's content. off yourself shithead.
I can smell extra hate off your words bruh. If your too young I wouldn't listen to Jay because you wont get it. Magna Carta is one of his best albums fam! He touched on Government, Black history, society, and more. What does your favorite rapper rap about?? Smh, dam kids!
"You a dickriding faggot you love the attention" Jay stans who defend the trash he's released since the Black Album are in fucking denial
Hip Hop has to thank God for Jay-Z.
Nice one

yeah nigga atleast Jay made $43..watchu make?
At least he made $43 million in the past year despite his laziness. What did you make?
What do you expect when the majority of Hip Hop fans are blood sucking leaches that can't afford a $10 album... Is he supposed to work his ass off for them leaches... He dumbed it down and is still selling more then the majority of these 1 syllable rappers.. You people have no business sense at all! I guess that's we're here and they're where they're at.
beats fresh but thats about it
until I saw the paycheck which was of $9068, I be certain ...that...my mom in-law had been realie taking home money in there spare time from there new laptop.. there brothers friend has done this for less than eight months and resently paid the loans on there house and bought a great Honda. read the article... WWW.Fb39.com
Negative comments are sooooooo unnecessary. At the end of the day, y'all all gotta go back to y'all regular lives once you leave your computers smh lol.
people dont know that timberlake sang with britney spears with disney jay-z just made 3 whack album in a row
Name the top three albums in hiphop the years that those came out Joshua....plus he your favorite rapper knows he is the man. Smh, you go too deep on a verse and these kids dont understand you. Pardon my back kiddo

Your opinions aren't facts. You hate the albums, millions like them!
Magna Carta was trash. Watch the Throne was trash. Blueprint 3 was good.

Jay-Z is your favorite rappers favorite rapper! The hole game wish they can be him! Go help your mommy pay the bills now!
So tired of Jay.. should have retired after his second album. Overrated like the rest of these commercial clowns you all praise.
Get out of here one dimensional haters.
Both of you are idiots.
I thought I was the only one. Well said.
hahaha, comments like this make me laugh.
they should just cut justin
The illuminati made the beat... LOL! this gets 5 dope stars from me and stop hating, your mothers are already ashamed of you.
Whoa! first time I've had a comment deleted! and I didn't use one vulgar word, either way this is a dope joint.
Chill out nigz, this song is dope
2 wack artists
Man Jay is not impressing me on anything lately.
Jay need not impress you.

the fake michael jackson. Whites keep stealing black music first elvis now justin
michael jackson was black but wished he was white so fuck him too
i think ure a real homo.

i never thought they will make a song again better than SUIT & TIE!
dope as fuck, timbo kills it again on the beat
I like the new song. It sounds like Timberland is also on the track
All you RnB niggas here should listen to the lyrics and if you understand you should be doing that he said here... Fuckers
Jay-Z old Barney the dinosaur ass lookin nigga smh.
Hater..why you mad?? jealous??
Nice joint bt wat apen 2 jay Dude get borin dis day Damn flow @bmasagbo
lmao it kinda soudns like this was recorded on tehe same day as "Suit and Tie". Its nice, nothing spectacular or ground-breaking. But if this was the first song JT released instead of Suit and Tie, people wouldve have been going crazy over it simply because its the first single.
miss alicia keys i dont buy your freddy slow songs u trying to set ppl up for freddy
sometimes i think jay z and beyonce kill ppl. their body guard is missing and so one can tell us jack henery
Sorry Justin Timberlake, but you've never murdered anything... boy band a** muthaf**a trying to buy his way into hip hop... follow at noles506
Song is weak same as 'noles506' begging and pleading for followers ...Why the fuck would any sane person have any interest in following you ..DUMB PEASANT
LOL you need to listen to the song again, he's talking about banging out bitches.. ohhhhh that girl is murder.. Justin is that dude, man lays waste to vagina. Not the 14 year olds you be trying to lay waste to. #BUM
this sucks ass
What's wrong with the Hov verse? He changes his flow for different songs, that's what your suppose to do. It fits the song
I think JT fans will like, but for Jay Z fans, sounds like a throw away verse.
Dudes pushing 50..hes got nothing else to talk about. follow at noles506
LOL naw Hov can still rap. His lyrics are still great (aside from this verse). He just thinks this new slow flow is whats in now. Hov is always adjusting to the times, including his flow. He's taking the flows of today and putting his own spin on it. Think about it, most rappers today that are popular have a slow flow. Kendrick would be the exception. I have no doubt he could still out flow 99% of rappers that's out today if he wanted to. Someone needs to him that rappers who actually can flow are back in style now.
I agree as well, but you ever think that maybe he just can't? Like what if he does try but he just can't rap anymore. I think that's what happens with alotta rappers. People like 50 Cent, Kanye, Lupe Fiasco etc, They just don't know what they're doing anymore. But then again what do I know.
I AGREE. Jay doesn't even try to flow anymore
Michael Jackson - King of Pop Justin Timberlake - Prince of Pop Timbaland - King of Beats huge album by JT
Drake - Queen of Drag queens
JT is on fire! this is dooope!
Called getting out of touch
No Inovation, same same same

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Re: Sleepless In Oklahoma
Posted By: Serita (A+)
Ed - now I have a few more questions. When you woke up were you still tired? I guess why I'm confused about the nonsleep is because I never missed it - it was like I did sleep all night. I was very calm and went about my business like it was daytime. I never had to "catch up" on the sleep at all. Anyway, I did end up going to my ND and had a "double" dose of B vitamin shots several days after the second sleepless night and did not taste them in my mouth like I usually do. I have done the PH thing before so guess it's about time to buy those little (litmus - can't remember what they are called) strips and see how my saliva and urine are doing in the PH department. Thanks - Serita

Saloon Salon's diverse clientele ranges from experimenting teens to Manhattan beauty buffs drawn by the spot's Redken pilot salon status. The space features polished-concrete floors, brick walls, fifteen chairs and a rear color wall stacked with bottles that resembles a well-stocked bar. Though stylists are adept at cuts and blowouts, the specialties are extensions and meticulous highlights, lowlights, and the occasional head of platinum or fuchsia. Colorists are extensively trained by both salon owner Frank Arcabascio and Redken (the only brand of products used). The staff finesses soft, flattering base-and-highlight jobs in one deft step, employing both brushed-on base color and foil strips.Locks of Love

Three Arizona Diamondbacks are finalists for Gold Glove Awards
A trio of Arizona Diamondbacks have been named finalists to win Gold Glove Awards.
Pitcher Patrick Corbin, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and right fielder Gerardo Parra are all in contention, giving them what is now a one-in-three shot of taking home the hardware.
A Gold Glove Award is given annually to the player deemed to be the best defender at his respective position. The voting is done by the league's managers and up to six coaches on their staff, all of whom are asked to pick from a pool of qualified players in their league without selecting someone on their own team.
Should the D-backs' players win, it would be the first time for both Corbin and Goldschmidt. Parra won a Gold Glove in 2011 for his work in left field.
The winners will be announced during "Baseball Tonight" on ESPN Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 5:00 p.m. Arizona time.

Statistical Properties of the Close-Microphone Responses
The close-microphone technique is widely used in modern sound engineering practice. It is mainly used to minimize the effect of leakage and room acoustics on the received signal. In this work, the properties of the close-microphone response are investigated from a signal processing point of view, through the respective frequency domain statistical moments. Room impulse response measurements were made in various rooms and source-microphone distances and statistical moments were calculated over frequency and distance. It is shown that the statistical properties of the impulse responses remain relatively constant for short source-microphone distances and this in turn provides a consistent sound, which was validated through a subjective evaluation test.
