I needed to vote early this morning, because I'm teaching and then immediately leaving for Washington. I arrived at my small polling station in Concord, Mass., at 6:45 am, fifteen minutes before the polls opened, and there were already about 20 people in line ahead of me. I was able to vote quickly – done by 7:10 a.m. – and when I left the polling place, there were maybe 40 people waiting in line. (My younger daughter emailed me a little later in the morning that she had been waiting in line for an hour.) However, this is of course modest compared with the stories of people waiting 6 to 8 hours in line to vote early in Florida, for example. And I have already seen Facebook posts this morning about people waiting an hour in line or more.
The lines to vote are an interesting commentary – and critique – of two common and influential ideas from social science research and theory.
One is the idea of free riding. There is actually an academic literature about why it is irrational for any individual to vote. It is highly unlikely that an individual vote will determine the outcome of an election – indeed, even in the famous 2000 Florida case, there were several hundred votes separating the candidates. So, it has been noted, no individual should vote, but instead count on everyone else to vote. The paradox, of course, is that if everyone thinks this way, nobody will vote at all. We do know that people do vote, so the challenge for social science theorists has been to think about why people vote even though, from a self-interest perspective – voting has costs, especially with these long lines, and there is only an infinitesimal chance that an individual's vote will elect their favored candidate.
The answer has to be some version of people feeling a moral obligation to vote and people feeling proud as individuals to participate in democracy. There is a larger point here. The theory that people will not vote because the self-interested costs outweigh the self-interested benefits reflects an impoverished view of what makes people tick – ignoring the role of moral obligations and attachments to a larger community. So these lines on election day actually tell us something about who we are as human beings.
The second idea that is dealt something of a blow by these voting lines is the psychological idea of habituation – put simply, the idea that everything gets old after a while. On this view, it is one thing when people in new democracies wait in line for hours to vote (I remember the footage of long lines when South Africa had its first universal suffrage election in the nineties), but after a while it loses novelty and hence attractiveness. Needless to say, Americans have been at democracy for a long time, so habituation certainly has had time to settle in. But there may be certain things we value on an ongoing basis, such that we continue to appreciate them even after a long time, sort of like a long-standing love as opposed to a first blush of attraction.
And this also may be something we want to pass on to our children: I overheard at the train station on the way to work a woman telling other commuters about how there was a first-time voter in line while she was waiting, and everybody gave her a big cheer.
Having said all this, it is of course also true that many Americans do not vote, that many feel cynical and jaded, that many are both self-interested and habituated. Today, though, let's concentrate on those exceptions to social science theory.

Also, other commenter, you can always complain, regardless of whether you vote.
Steve Kelman- We miss you. How do we get you back to Washington? This was a great post. Voting is critically important to our way of life. But how do we solve the big problem of unbridled accountable-to-no-one spending on campaign messages that are misleading or outright false? Anonymous billionaires are promoting agendas that damage our democracy. How do we stop it?
If you don't vote, you can't complain!
"There is a larger point here." So true -- I'm not just voting for my preferred candidate (even though the polls say my state is guaranteed% for Romney so my vote doesn't really count) -- in the larger point, I am sustaining the process, and to me it is the process that counts most. I'll accept the outcome of either candidate who wins according to the process, but if there are difficulties and if one candidate (either one of them!) brings in lawyers to overthrow the process, I will oppose whichever one it is. Indeed, to me, the process is more important than the candidate.

Pittsford murder suspect attempts suicide in jailStaff Report | July 19,2013A Pittsford man awaiting trial in jail on a charge of murdering his girlfriend tried to hang himself in his jail cell, according to a Vermont Department of Corrections official.
Christopher Sharrow, 35, was taken to a Boston hospital after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, according to Al Cormier, superintendent of the St. Johnsbury jail where Sharrow has been incarcerated since his arraignment on July 8.
Cormier said he didn't know which hospital Sharrow was taken to, but he believed he was in stable condition.
Sharrow pleaded innocent to a second-degree murder charge brought by prosecutors who say he beat and strangled Kristen Parker, 32, who he lived with along with her three children. Sharrow is the father of two of Parker's children.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

This lead copy of Louis Weingartner's 19th century bronze 'Dryad and Boar' was found hidden away in an overgrown garden before it was recently consigned to auction.
Weighing over a tonne and measuring 4ft 5in (1.35m) high, it came from a local estate and was the stand-out lot of the sale held by Fieldings of Stourbridge on March 9.
The 20th century statue was the work of the Bromsgrove Guild, a company founded in 1898 by Walter Gilbert and best known for making the main gates at Buckingham Palace.
Attracting bids from a private buyer and four dealers, it comfortably overshot the £4000-6000 estimate, selling for £35,000.
The successful buyer was a dealer in the room.
The buyer's premium was 21%.

—All published data, particularly those on controversial issues, should be carefully analyzed and interpreted by the readers. In addition, other investigators should gather data attempting to replicate and verify the hypothesis. Fortunately, both analytical reading and several evaluations of the New York State triplicate prescription regulations for benzodiazepines have been carried out.The authors of the letters published in this issue of JAMA interpreted the results of our study differently than did my colleagues and I. Publication of their views is a legitimate, important aspect of the research process.Several other investigators have examined the New York State benzodiazepine regulations. Reidenberg1 compared benzodiazepine prescribing in New York and Pennsylvania. His conclusion that the full health consequences of the regulations have not yet been clarified mirrors the opinion my colleagues and I articulated in JAMA.The effects of the regulations have also been examined by Shader et al.

Over the last years, many feature extraction techniques have been integrated in processing chains intended for hyperspectral image classification. In the context of supervised classification, it has been shown that the good generalization capability of machine learning techniques such as the support vector machine (SVM) can still be enhanced by an adequate extraction of features prior to classification, thus mitigating the curse of dimensionality introduced by the Hughes effect. Recently, a new strategy for feature extraction prior to classification based on spectral unmixing concepts has been introduced. This strategy has shown success when the spatial resolution of the hyperspectral image is not enough to separate different spectral constituents at a sub-pixel level. Another advantage over statistical transformations such as principal component analysis (PCA) or the minimum noise fraction (MNF) is that unmixing-based features are physically meaningful since they can be interpreted as the abundance of spectral constituents. In turn, previously developed unmixing-based feature extraction chains do not include spatial information. In this paper, two new contributions are proposed. First, we develop a new unmixing-based feature extraction technique which integrates the spatial and the spectral information using a combination of unsupervised clustering and partial spectral unmixing. Second, we conduct a quantitative and comparative assessment of unmixing-based versus traditional (supervised and unsupervised) feature extraction techniques in the context of hyperspectral image classification. Our study, conducted using a variety of hyperspectral scenes collected by different instruments, provides practical observations regarding the utility and type of feature extraction techniques needed for different classification scenarios.

The short-lived X-Venture adventure race was a feature of ESPN's X-Games. The first event, held in 1995, served as the second Eco-Challenge event after Eco-Challenge Maine. Each X-Venture featured 15 teams. The three-person co-ed teams travelled between 300 and 500 miles. Unlike most U.S.-based events, the X-Venture race was held in stages, allowing any team that completed the stage in less than 24 hours to rest until the next stage began. Any team that was six hours or more behind the lead at the end of a stage would be eliminated from the race.
The races[edit]
1995 - New England[edit]
The 1995 event started in Maine and finished in Newport, RI. Team Threadbo, featuring John Jacoby, Jane Hall, and Andrew Hislop, won the inaugural event. The event was presented as the second Eco-Challenge.[1]
1996 - New England[edit]
After a six-day, 350-mile race, the 1996 Event finished in a sprint, with Team Kobeer beating Team Eco-Internet by one second.
1st - Team Kobeer (Angelika Casteneda, John Howard, and Keith Murray)
2nd - Team Eco-Internet (Ian Adamson)
3rd - Team Mirage
4th - Team Borah
5th - Team Presido
1997 - Baja California, Mexico[edit]
Beginning in Mexicali, Mexico, the winning team travelled six days and 311 miles before crossing the finish line in San Diego, California. Don Baker served as race director.[2]
1st: Presidio Adventure Racing Academy (John Howard, Andrea Spitzer, and Ian Adamson)
2nd: Team Endeavor
3rd: Red Hot

From a layout/display perspective they are one type size too large.
I presume you can't do it without getting into the code, which I haven't done yet.
I also presume they are tied to H1, H2, etc.
Do you go into Editor inside Appearance in the dashboard? If so, into which file?
Thanks in advance.

Of course not. They are only interested in buying our politicians. The profits are much higherHide replies
So they want to buy our politicians so they don't buy a power plant that buying the politicians was supposed to get them. What do they get from the politician then? Confused on that
What's the confusion? Republican's didn't deliver the State for Romney. Hence, the "punishment".
karpsta - that's quite a leap you're taking there. I guess it doesn't matter if you make sense or not with your arguments.
No they dont now but they used to -they even advertised for a power plant manger in wisconsin when walker took office
Now they are more concerned with getting the coal delivery contracts to these plants
OK, Gov. What's plan B?Hide replies
What's the capitol building worth?
I don't believe a word of what the Koch brothers say. It's possible to create companies to hide companies to hide companies to hide the Koch Company purchase of Wisconsin assets.
Looks as if the opponents of Walker had no idea what they were talking about in their big rush to drum up conspiracies between the Gov. & Koch.
Governor Doyle had made plans to convert all these plants to either biomass or natural gas.
By selling these plant and canceling conversion plans-Most conversions were a result of the sierra clubs pressure -The Koch s will either acquire or maintain their coal delivery services to these plants.Hide replies
GOPbasher - as long as you say so...it must be true.
CC, change your batteries.
it is a facade. The Koch brothers dictate everything to the Governor. They want and will take over the plants but at their price.Hide replies
It's called "no bid".
too much regulation for Koch Bro's
plenty more $$$ elsewhere ... I am sure Scottie will lead them to it
This is called the opening round of price negotiations. We may be powerless against the Koch brothers' money and their bought-and-paid-for Governor, but we're not stupid. Eventually Walker will have the taxpayers paying Koch industries to take over the plants.Hide replies
SS, I assume you're pro-union. Here's what a Steelworkers' union head had to say about your evil Koch Bros.
--Koch's Georgia Pacific unit "has positive collective bargaining relationships with its unions," Jon Geenen, international vice president of the United Steelworkers union, wrote in a blog post on the group's website.
"The company's workforce is highly unionized," Geenen wrote. "It is not inaccurate to say these are among the best- paid manufacturing jobs in America."--
OK, I'll take your word for it, but what does this have to do with the price of heating plants?
That's the same smoke screen the non-union car assembly plants use. Each company has one plant where the employees are paid more than the Union plants. They always point this out when they want to open in a "right to work(for less)" State. The rest of the plants pay substantially lower wages.
Putting the words "Governor Walker" and "Koch Brothers" in a headline is sure to get readers all lathered up. It's like cat nip for the loony left.
BTW...what happened to all the scandals and lawsuits that were sure to come because of VP Cheney's previous involvement with Halliburton.
9 out of 10 people in American can't tell you a single thing the Koch Brothers do, but the left is unhinged by these guys. The same was true about Haliburton.Hide replies
If I remember correctly (and I do), it was our clueless Governor who wet himself with excitement when he got a call from someone he thought was David Koch and ended up spilling the beans to a blogger from Buffalo.
You don't remember correctly. If you would have listened to the tape, and I know you didn't, you would have heard the governor incredulous over what he was hearing and trying to be polite.
But, since you didn't listen to the tape, you feel free to spread your lies and BS.

Jacob Engler, 21, steals car in Minnesota, drives with two teenage friends to California
Engler allegedly grabbed a car, grabbed some friends, and hit the westbound highway.
SEE ALSO: Teens face felonies after allegedly stealing cop radio and broadcasting, "F**k the police"
Well, at least he got an epic road trip out of it.
Jacob Engler, a 21-year-old resident of Murdock, Minnesota, works on a farm. He allegedly stole a car, somehow persuaded his boss' 16-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old boy to hop in with him, then drove all the way to Stinson Beach, California, where he was arrested yesterday. He's now cooling his heels in Marin County Jail while authorities prepare to ship him back to Minnesota.
According to the Marin Independent Journal, while still in Murdock, Engler test-drove the car he ended up taking west and agreed to purchase it, but didn't show up for a scheduled meeting where he was supposed to fork over a down payment and get the title. It isn't immediately clear how long Engler and the two teens were on the lam.
From the Journal:
Stinson Beach is a beautiful, but next time, man, pay for the car and get parents' permission first.
Authorities were investigating whether to seek child abduction charges against Engler, said Sheriff John Holtz of Swift County, Minn. Holtz said Engler, a friend of the teens, did not have their parents' permission to take them on a road trip, and made statements to the girl's stepmother suggesting he would not bring her back home.
Early Saturday, Engler's cell phone was traced to a tower in the Stinson Beach area. Deputies from the Marin County Sheriff's Office were asked to help find the fugitive in their midst and tracked down the trio in the Stinson Beach parking lot that afternoon.
In total, Engler and his two young accomplices traveled about 1,500 miles. Facing car theft and possible abduction charges back home, we imagine the ride back won't be nearly as fun.

Before deciding to use you good looking calendar -
1. Can events have more than one category?
2. Can I add tags to events (for searching)?
3. What limits are there on repeating events (can I have 3rd Thursday; every other week, etc.)?
4. How do you handle Daylight saving/Summer time changes (some calendars shift all events 1 hour on changes!)?
5. Can I set the time zone of an event?
It might be helpful to others is this sort of info was on your web site.
thanks for your help

Soundtrack Fit for Clowns?
An ice cream truck just drove by my window. Does anyone else find this to be the most terrifying sound in the world? Something about that off-kilter tinkle immediately makes me think the driver has a few dismembered bodies in his cooler, not Drumsticks. I haven't even seen this movie, but I've been creeped out by ice cream trucks as long as I can remember.

After three draws against the same opponents at home in last month's Test series, New Zealand will head to England to contest two Tests, three one-day internationals, two Twenty20 games and the ICC Champions Trophy.
The tour begins with a three-day match against Derbyshire, starting on May 4.
Other than the additions of Gillespie and Guptill, New Zealand's Test squad shows no changes from the group that could not force a positive result in the home series against England.
Former captain Daniel Vettori is named in the limited-overs squad for the tour but not in the Test ranks, after recovering from an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined from Black Caps duty for eight months.
The limited-overs touring party also includes the Wellington wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi, who has previously played seven internationals for Australia.
New Zealand national selection manager Kim Littlejohn said: "The ODI squad has a core group of players who have now played in a number of international tournaments and bring a wealth of experience. Having Daniel Vettori back in the side adds to that and we're really excited to have someone of his quality back in the team.
"Luke Ronchi gets his chance after impressing on the domestic scene. We know how dangerous he is and look forward to seeing him display his talents on the international stage."
Test squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Dean Brownlie, Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Mark Gillespie, Tom Latham, Bruce Martin, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, Bradley John Watling, Kane Williamson.
ODI, Twenty20 and ICC Champions Trophy squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Andrew Ellis, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson.

The Big 254 Board is finally here. Almost all of the Pro Days are complete by this point of the year, but one can still expect many changes to occur in the following weeks to the Big Board. I am always shuffling, updating, and tweaking this daily and I am very welcome to amd appreciative of any input you'd like to provide.
IF MD HAS NOT DRILLED THIS IN ENOUGH, THIS Big Board is NOT a mock draft, but a general projection of an area I project these players to go. With that said, please keep in mind that I have accounted for the fact that trades can and will occur, so if you notice an unusual player slotted in an area such as a QB at the Patriots' pick at #28, you understand the reason why. Ultimately, I think the 49ers will make a move on draft day, but I have slotted their selections as if they will keep all their picks, for the time being.
Please let me know if you see any mistakes regarding positions, school, spelling, or anything else. Feel free to argue if you feel any players are missing, too high or too low, and I will kindly give an explanation.

International Sports Desk, Mar 24 (EFE).- American Venus Williams, the 19th seed, pulled out of the Sony Open in Miami before her match against countrywoman Sloane Stephens due to back problems.
The 32-year-old Williams, who won the title in Miami in 1998, 1999 and 2001, is a former world No. 1 who has won seven Grand Slam titles.
The 20-year-old Stephens will play defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland next.
Radwanska struggled in her 7-6 (7-5), 2-6, 6-3 victory over Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova at the Crandon Park tennis center on Key Biscayne.
In other action at the Sony Open on Saturday, Spain's Garbiñe Muguruza defeated Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, the 9th seed, 6-2, 6-4 in a second-round meeting.
Muguruza, who is ranked No. 73 in the world, needed just 81 minutes to beat the former world No. 1, who appeared unable to figure out the Spanish player's game.
Muguruza's next opponent will be China's Li Na, the No. 5 seed, who beat American Varvara Lepchenko 6-2, 6-4.
On the men's side, Colombia's Alejandro Falla beat Spain's Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) in one hour and 44 minutes.
Falla will take on the Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych, the No. 4 seed, next.
Berdych defeated Spain's Daniel Gimeno 5-7, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2.

I dont feel pregnant!
Comments (4)
I think we are all having the same issue. I have a post where it just feels like a stomach bug not pregnancy
I cant remember if it took this long for my morning sickness to hit with my son or not. but with him, i felt bloated and well pregnant before i even found out. with this one i dont feel bloated or heavy in my lower belly. my symptoms with him were tired all the time, heavy bloated feeling, morning sickness,i didnt throw up though. i had cramping and spotting (i also had bleeding with him a little later) heartburn and gas. with this pregnancy, i just have sore bbs and slight headaches and tmi but major gas. i know every pregnancy is different and maybe its still too early for symptoms?? i have my first apt on march 28th and they will do a ultrasound then. so i just hope everything goes ok.

Having a baby ties you down? Heck no!
Is there an echo in here?
I had a vent earlier over the exact same thing! I keep telling myself maybe that's because this one is a boy (I have two girls) and he's going easy on me since my daughters made me wretchedly sick the entire pregnancies, but sometimes I still get worried. I even took a second test just to make sure. Yup, still positive.

Solid offering for interracial section.
Yet another title where everything that can be done with giant black cocks and tight white pussies is done for your perverted enjoyment. Things get off to a great start with the screamtastically intense Mandy Bright taking the twin tools of Mr. Marcus and Joachim Kessef during a threesome/d.p. atop the pool table. This scene and the very last scene of the tape, where nasty-mouthed Barbara Summer gets banged by Mr. Marcus in the gym, are probably the best of the batch. The ones in the middle are not completely unfortunate, however; there's still plenty of hot sweaty nasty buttfucking to go around. Nicely produced and decent action will satisfy the ebony and ivory enthusiast.

I have a PC with Linux Mint installed on it, and I wanted to install Windows 7 alongside it.
What I have done is:
- Created a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu.
- Restarted the computer, this time with Ubuntu (running from my USB drive).
- Created a partition on the main HD using GParted.
- Formatted the partition to NTFS.
- Restarted the computer, this time through the installation CD for Windows 7.
- Installed Windows 7 with normal settings.
That all worked, and I'm writing this from Windows 7. But the thing is, when I boot my system, I don't get to choose what OS to run.
I checked the settings in msconfig, and in the Boot tab it has just Windows 7.
How can I boot Linux?

Retired from his fighting days, John Perry is now village ombudsman for a human colony on distant Huckleberry. With his wife, former Special Forces warrior Jane Sagan, he farms several acres, adjudicates local disputes, and enjoys watching his adopted daughter grow up.
That is, until his and Jane's past reaches out to bring them back into the game--as leaders of a new human colony, to be peopled by settlers from all the major human worlds, for a deep political purpose that will put Perry and Sagan back in the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.

Karl Lagerfeld's Couture Embroiderers Were So Overwhelmed by the Beautiful Clothes That They Cried at the Spring 2011 Show
Karl: "It's touching, no?"
Yesterday Karl Lagerfeld showed a magical spring 2011 couture collection that included jeans under jackets and skirts, flats that shocked the world, and loads of masterful embroidery and beading, all done by hand, of course. In a Chanel-produced video, Karl discusses these highlights. The flats are supposed to be reminiscent of what one wears "on the beach," he tells the interviewer. The shoes were "like slippers but with just a little fixing around the ankle which is transparent." He continues, "I am getting tired of the way the girls walk in those high shoes. One saw a lot of it so maybe it's time to see something else."

A newsagent described yesterday how he fought off a robber armed with a chisel a few yards from where Marian Bates, a jeweller, was murdered last month.
In a near-identical raid, two men wearing motorcycle helmets pulled up outside the shop on a scooter before one burst in and demanded money.
Nigel Webster, the owner, pulled out a baseball bat he has kept under the counter since Mrs Bates's death and, after a two-minute struggle which he said wrecked half the shop, the man fled empty-handed and was driven away on the scooter by his accomplice.
Mrs Bates, 64, was shot defending her daughter after two men tried to rob her shop, the Time Centre, in Arnold, Notts. Like the man who attacked Mr Webster, her killers were wearing crash-helmets and escaped on a scooter.
Mr Webster, 39, whose shop on George Street, is 500 yards from the Time Centre, said: "Since Mrs Bates was killed I've been on my guard against people who arrive on scooters and are wearing crash-helmets coming into the shop. The lad picked up a bottle of drink, came to the counter and gave me a pound. Then, as I went to the till, I saw him take a swing at me. I put my arm up to defend myself but he pulled out a chisel and told me to empty the till. So I grabbed hold of the bat.
"We started struggling. It was an intense fight that lasted a couple of minutes, and half the shop was wrecked in the process before he ran off.
"Obviously what happened to Mrs Bates went through my mind. But I'd do the same again in the same situation. I saw the chisel but, for all I knew, he could have had a gun."
Mr Webster, who was recently targeted by a thief carrying a knife, has started a petition among shopkeepers calling for the police to do more to help them in the face of rising crime. "I don't know what the world is coming to," he said. "It's happening too often."
The youth who entered the shop dropped his motorcycle helmet as he fled the scene. He is described as 17 or 18 and 5ft 9in tall, with dark, short hair.
Supt Alan Butler, of Nottingham Police, said: "We are open-minded as to the identity of the youths but this looks to be a wholly different incident."
Police have yet to arrest anyone in connection with Mrs Bates's murder.

Released: May 01st, 2005
Running Time: 270
Company: Don Goo Enterprises
Cast: Jackeline, Rodrigo (I), Mauro, Carmne, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Tranny fans will have a lot to choose from, even if it's mostly average. More volume than quality here.
Though it's not quite clear what differentiates she-male superstars from the run-of-the-mill she-male stars of the world, She-Male Superstars 8 attempts to show off hot she-males getting it on.
And, in the first scene, they make a pretty good case for the superstar thing, as the truly beautiful Jackeline shows off his blowjob skills before revealing a surprise for partner Rodrigo, who then fucks Jackeline's ass for the effort, in what is easily the hottest scene in the feature.
Other than that, however, the rest is average, or even a little below, with very little inspiration fueling these scenes. Jackeline makes another appearance, which is kind of hot, and there's a threesome toward the end that generates a bit of heat, but, at four and a half hours, the feature has too little going for it to elevate it above your average fare, superstars or not.

text: Posted January 25, 2013 the '04 BSG, far and away the greatest science fiction show ever made. STTNG started out as schlocky as any other scifi series but turned into the force that made well written modern scifi TV possible. Firefly because it mashed up a lot of genres to make a clever show that could be shot on a TV budget without having a franchise name attached to it, and also because the movie was pretty freaking good. ST: DS9 had some great ideas and episodes but didn't hang all that well as a body of work which was disappointing. I am a FAN of lots of "bad" shows and love them for what they are, or their design, or whatever, but putting everything together is difficult. I see that Space:Above and Beyond was mentioned and I liked that show a lot but terrible time slots and a meandering plot with a tiny budget did it in before it found its footing which was a shame. It had some fantastic ideas to explore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sports: Water Cooler Stories
Page 3 of 3
Water cooler Topic #5
Dwyane Wade back for the playoffsDwyane Wade suffered what was thought to be a season-ending injury in February in a game against the Rockets. Though he was carried off on a stretcher and written off for the rest of the year, Wade announced on Tuesday that he'll most likely return for the playoffs. Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning — the first two picks in the 1992 NBA Draft — will try to lead the Heat back to the championships in their 15th season in the league.
Adam's take: Pat Riley takes a "leave of absence" from coaching the Miami Heat, and coincidently times his return to the bench just as the team is hitting its stride, and he's ready to reap all the benefits. However, in his first game back, karma rears its ugly head as Dwyane Wade dislocates his shoulder and shreds his labrum. Then a week later, three-point specialist Jason Kapono sprains his ankle, and misses time as well. The big question now is not if this Heat can win behind an aging Shaq, but what creative excuse will Riley think of to get off this sinking ship. Too bad for him that the "dog ate my clipboard" routine probably won't fly here.
Pete's take: Scrap this Heat team and just give me a squad of dudes taken in the '92 draft. It'll be like that Wild Hogs movie... if 15-year veterans were considered, well, wild hogs. Throw Shaq, Mourning and Laettner on the frontline, give me Jim Jackson and Latrell Sprewell in the back court, and let's go to war. Will they win the NBA Championship? Probably not. But it sure beats relying on Chris Quinn and Michael Doleac, who are the worst defending champs ever.
So long, farewellTo the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are actively seeking relocation after a deal for a new arena in Pittsburgh stalled. The Penguins' majority owner Ron Burkle visited Las Vegas to meet with the mayor and town officials to discuss the possibility of bringing the team to Sin City. While the possible move is sure to spark a ton of controversy and debate, you can be fairly sure that you don't have to worry about Sidney Crosby "making it rain" during an off day.

Eminem has been usurpedego trip's The (White) Rapper Show survived its first season on VH1, and it picked up a cult-like following in the process. $hamrock performed "Fly Away" to defeat John Brown during the season finale, and to take home the $100,000 prize.
Adam's take: With Eminem missing in action and Vanilla Ice busy on another VH1 reality show, the white-rapper crown was $hamrock's for the taking. Outfitted with a shiny grill and flashy rhymes, $ham owned the first season and should be destined for stardom (or at least a nice MySpace page). Is there any chance that we might see $hamrock and American Idol's beatbox wiz Blake Lewis collaborate on $ham's first album? Sounds like a surefire club hit to me.
Pete's take: No show captivated me this winter quite like The (White) Rapper Show did. Whether it was G Child's hatred for Dip Set, Persia's collapse after running for six minutes or Sullee's dramatic farewell, the program brought more juice to TV than anything involving Jack Bauer or the ladies on Wisteria Lane in the past two months. And the show gave us an entirely new chapter in the pop-culture dictionary. Hallelujah hollaback, ghetto revival, King of the 'Burbs — thank you John Brown for the unabridged version of the new Webster's Dictionary.

Three transport services are offered by FDDI: asynchronous, synchronous, and isochronous (FDDI-II). In order to support the stringent multimedia (e.g., real-time video and voice) delay and bandwidth requirements the asynchronous transfer service will not suffice. The isochronous and synchronous transport services differ considerably in their implementation, but the differences in the service provided can be made to appear transparent to many multimedia applications. It is shown that synchronous traffic can support a wide range of application requirements efficiently at moderate cost when the connection between source and destination are on the same physical ring. However, isochronous class traffic has advantages, particularly when the network traffic is well behaved (the peak data rate is close to the mean data rate) and when connections traverse multiple rings

Homeless Shelters in New York Fill to Highest Level Since 80's
By NINA BERNSTEIN
Published: February 8, 2001
The number of homeless people lodging nightly in the New York City shelter system this winter has risen above 25,000, the most since the late 1980's, city figures show, with the largest increases coming among women and children over the last few years.
Officials say no single factor explains the increase in families seeking shelter. Likely explanations include sharply rising housing costs in an economic boom, a subway advertisement campaign that encourages victims of domestic violence to seek help, more court orders for eviction, and declines in subsidized housing, said Martin Oesterreich, the city's commissioner of homeless services.
The number of family shelter applicants has grown 10 percent in the last year alone, he said.
''I can't screw the front door any tighter,'' said Mr. Oesterreich, in reference to tough screening procedures started by the Giuliani administration in 1996, resulting in more families' being turned away.
''We are focused on getting through what I view as a temporary crisis,'' he added. ''That's not to say that I may not be proven wrong, and that this is instead a major shift in family homelessness.''
The increase, Mr. Oesterreich stressed, is part of a national trend. He cited a 25-city survey by the United States Conference of Mayors that calculated a 17 percent rise in the number of families applying for help because of homelessness.
But New York City's system is the only one in the nation that operates under a court-ordered right to shelter for the truly homeless. On a typical night this week, it gave beds to 10,177 children and their 8,024 adult family members, as well as 7,492 single adults. Thousands more do not seek shelter, but no reliable estimates exist for those on the street.
Seventy-eight percent of homeless shelter residents are in families or are single women. Twenty-two percent are single men, down from a third in the late 1980's.
Families caught in the overflow, including about 500 families a night already found eligible for refuge from domestic violence, have been required in recent weeks to return again and again to the Emergency Assistance Unit in the Bronx because they had been given beds for only one night. The unit is the city's sole portal to the shelter system for families.
Mr. Oesterreich said more families are seeking shelter right after being evicted, though most live with relatives before seeking official help.
Advocates for the homeless say evictions are an important factor. ''The Emergency Assistance Unit is a window into what's happening in the economy over all,'' said Steven Banks, counsel for the Coalition for the Homeless and the Homeless Rights Project of the Legal Aid Society.
For example, he said, landlords have been increasingly successful in obtaining eviction warrants, which were up last year to about 122,000 from 114,000 in 1999, according to the latest caseload activity report from Civil Court. The number of evictions actually carried out by marshals is basically unchanged, he said, but families faced with a warrant often choose to leave an apartment before they are thrown out on the street.
''Whereas the debate for the last few years has been about work programs,'' he said, ''what we're seeing now is that work isn't enough to keep people out of the shelter system.'' The $5.15 hourly minimum wage is not enough to cover rents greater than $800 a month, he said.
To a large extent, the latest numbers underline a reality that is already familiar to scholars, but still counterintuitive to many city dwellers who associate homelessness with the derelict men and women they see in public places.
The research of Dennis Culhane, a professor of social welfare policy at the University of Pennsylvania who has analyzed computerized shelter system data for New York and Philadelphia, shows that by far the most likely person to become homeless in both cities is a poor black child younger than 5.
In a little more than two decades, Mr. Culhane said, largely because of an economic boom that increased demand for urban housing by single adults who could pay, ''homelessness went from a problem afflicting a few thousand skid row denizens to a commonplace way station for millions of America's poor.'' He added that recent statistics showed that ''one out of every three black children born poor in America's largest cities will stay in a homeless shelter before they enter the first grade.''
The daily shelter census is just a snapshot of the total population moving in and out of homelessness. More than 333,000 New Yorkers -- 4.6 percent of the city's 1990 population -- stayed in shelters for one day or more from 1987 to 1996, according to a published analysis of computer records.
Mr. Oesterreich said the city was taking a three-pronged approach to the problem. A $12 million expansion of the family shelter system over three years is part of the proposed budget of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. The city has already sharply increased the number of temporary beds used in hotels -- adding 965 beds for families this year, and 300 beds for single adults, mainly women. The number of single women admitted to shelters has been rising rapidly in the last two years, to 1,714 this week, from 1,200 to 1,300 during most of the 1990's.
