That would be great if it happens
Sentiment: Buy
UNDERVALUED WITH THE DRASTIC DROP. Management (& L)is not stupid and will fix the problems with their network. I bought in at $12.50 and will continue to watch. As I've said before this is similar to in OFG, OFG preferreds, MBI. I would rather buy a existing business below book any day then a high flyer that is selling on extreme forward earnings. In a down market which stock drops faster?
Sentiment: Buy
We would say good buy to our dividend. Once they go over 50b NYCB will not be able to pay 100% of earnings as dividend. They will add a layer of regulation.
Sentiment: Hold
DOUBTFUL THIS WOULD HAPPEN. Regulatory issues would have pieces being sold to third parties. Also Income investors in this stock would get PNC dividend rate.
Sentiment: Hold
Good advise. I loaded up 1000+ shares + div reinvest when $14-15 range and sold a couple $16 puts. I don't regret selling the put but I'm sad that I will lose 200 shares in April. The dividend is so rich its hard to let go. I have cash earning 1 basis point so 600 basis points seems amazing. My advise every time under $16 buy shares and when over $16 sell the $17 calls.
To all income holders of this stock. Sell it please so we can get all the people with a unrealized loss through the stock. It will help on the way back up. Remember you can always buy it back in 31 days.
Sentiment: Buy
It would be helpful if you could spell!
Sentiment: Buy
Not sure but I saw this same thing a couple of years ago with OFG and a little more than a year ago with MBI. I got my feet wet with selling three naked puts. If I get delivery of the stock my net cost would be $11.00 on the dot and I can start collecting dividends and sell covered calls. I don't know what you all are earning on your money but I only earn 1 or 2 basis points on my money. I'd rather have it in a story like this. Lastly, Loews Corp has been good to me so I do not see why this will be much different.
Sentiment: Buy
I agree in principal about what you are saying, but if they are saving 400m a year from the dividend reduction and paying off debt of 3B then in 6-8 years they would be debt free. In addition, each chunk of debt repaid will reduce interest expense which will also improve the bottom line. This is not a home run by any means but it will be better than 1 or 2 basis points on my money market. If I can earn a minimum of 6% (dividends, appreciation, covered calls) I'm in.
Sentiment: Buy
The people that run Loews Corp are not dumb! The are the majority shareholder here and it was really their decision to do this. Think about this people. BTW to the guy that was long at 25 and short at 13 thanks for making other people rich.
ATT will cut their dividend in the next 12 to 18 months. Their cutting prices to compete.
Sears or JCP will file for bankruptcy in the next 12 months. My guess is JCP retail is changing in big ways.
AVLY (a local bank) will be merged in the next 12 months. Look at the major shareholders STBA & WSBC - both of these banks battled it out for Fidelity Bank last year and WSBC won. AVLY is beginning to look the same way.
I went ahead the other day and sold 3 naked $12.50 puts and walked with $1.50. And I will do upto nine more if the price of the stock falls more. I made a nice amount of money on OFG and MBI over the last couple of years. I believe the battering this stock received to lower the dividend and payoff debt is smart. The dividend is not sustainable if the balance sheet is not in order. Lastly, due to the significant market decline I would give it a 50% chance that it will be taken out by a company like PAA or KMP that needs to keep expanding and raising their payouts.
First the comment this company is run by gays was not nice.
J. Stilwell is in this stock. Its trading below book and pays a good dividend. Its worth a look
Sentiment: Buy
Below book value, good network of branches that a potential acquirer might want.
Sentiment: Buy
There are some serious investor who have purchased stakes.
To many investors have stakes. Look at what happened to Fidelity Bank.
Is there value in this stock? Any thoughts fellow posters?
On August 27, 2013, the Board of Directors of West View Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of WVS Financial Corp. (the "Corporation"), approved a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") and a Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement (the "Split Dollar Agreement") for David Bursic, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank. Both the SERP and the Split Dollar Agreement are effective as of September 1, 2013.
The SERP provides for supplemental retirement benefits following Mr. Bursic's separation from service on or after his normal retirement age of 65. The SERP benefits are designed to replace 30% of Mr. Bursic's salary for a period of 15 years, with the amount payable in monthly installments over five years. If Mr. Bursic retires at age 65, his annual SERP benefit for the five-year payout period will be $350,821, with interest credited on the unpaid balance. If Mr. Bursic retires after age 65, then for each full month between his normal retirement age and his actual separation from service (up to a maximum of 60 months), the Bank will increase his SERP benefit by .2466%, which equates to 2.96% per year. Mr. Bursic will vest in his SERP benefits over the next 13 years, and he will be entitled to receive his vested SERP benefits if either his employment is terminated for reasons other than cause or he becomes disabled, with the vested benefit paid over five years. If Mr. Bursic's employment is terminated within 24 months following a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank on or before June 30, 2018, he will be credited with three additional years of service for purposes of determining his change in control SERP benefit.......
J. Stillwell is a holder of this institution and so is Wesbanco. You can believe that Stillwell will be heard and the institution will be merged if better profits are not attained. Fidelity Bancorp in Pittsburgh PA also had an approximate 5% of the shares held by Stillwell and was reeling from a loss - now it is part of Wesbanco. Is this the next possible take over for Wesbanco? I think so. What do you think?
Also see SFBC. Hope you have a profitable day!
J. Stillwell is a major holder of this institution. You can believe that he will be heard and the institution will be merged if there is a misstep.

I'm currently working on a project and I would like to test it out on two laptops at home where one laptop connects to the localhost on the other. I am using XAMPP. How do I do this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
That's definitely possible. We'll take a general case with Apache here.
Let's say you're a big Symfony2 fan and you would like to access your symfony website at
General Sketch:
1 Set up a virtual host:
You first need to set up a virtual host in your apache
2 Configure your hosts file:
For the client (your browser in that case) to understand what
From now on, everytime you type symfony.local on this computer, your computer will use the loopback interface to connect to symfony.local. It will understand that you want to work on localhost (127.0.0.1).
3 Access
We finally arrive to your main question which is:
Well this is now easy! We just need to tell the other computers how they could find
3a Get the IP address of the computer hosting the website:
We first need to know the IP address on the computer that hosts the website (the one we've been working on since the very beginning). In the terminal, on MAC and LINUX type
3b Edit the hosts file on the computer you are trying to access the website from.:
Again, on MAC, this file is in
4 Finally enjoy the results in your browser
You can now go into your browser and type
You can also access your localhost from mobile devices
You might wonder how to access your localhost website from a mobile device. In some cases, you won't be able to modify the hosts file (iPhone, iPad...) on your device (jailbreaking excluded).
Well, the solution then is to install a proxy server on the machine hosting the website and connect to that proxy from your iphone. It's actually very well explained in the following posts and is not that long to set up:
On a Mac, I would recommend: Testing a Mac OS X web site using a local hostname on a mobile device: Using SquidMan as a proxy. It's a 100% free solution. Some people can also use Charles as a proxy server but it's 50$.
On Linux, you can adapt the Mac OS way above by using Squid as a proxy server.
On Windows, you can do that using Fiddler. The solution is described in the following post: Monitoring iPhone traffic with Fiddler
it may be that your firewalls are preventing you from accessing the localhost's webserver.
If it does not work, try to ping your PC from your laptop:
This tool saved me a lot, since I have no Admin permission on my machine and already had nodejs installed. For some reason the configuration on my network does not give me access to other machines just pointing the IP on the browser.
Provided both machines are in the same workgroup, open
Then, on the machine you want to connect with, use
That should do it.
This is a side note if one still can't access localhost from another devices after following through the step above. This might be due to the apache ports.conf has been configured to serve locally (127.0.0.1) and not to outside.
check the following, (for ubuntu apache2)
if the following is set,
then change it back to default value

Hey everyone,
On my site http://www.nintencast.com the sidebar of the blog is appearing underneath my posts. I've tested it with most browsers so its no that.
Also I read a few other topics about this like changing the float: left to float: right, that hasn't worked either so I didn't know if the problems solution would be different to each theme?
I've also made sure none of my images/links are wider than ment to be. I've also tried changing themes and that hasn't worked either. This happened after I made a post but I tried deleting that post and the problem is still there.
The theme I'm using is Nikynik Blue 2 if that helps,
does anyone know an answer to this or can offer any help?
thanking you in advance :D

9.2.x (classic), G3 Processor
|What type of
teaching strategy
is used?
|Problem Solving.
|What learning
theory does this
product best
|Cognitive Learning Theory, when the child is working to solve a problem or create
an answer using different strategies until they're right, then they're commended which
also helps them to recollect these problem-solving skills and/or different steps
they took.
|Is it appropriate
for the age
|Yes, but it may be possible that some Pre-K students may need assistance in using
the computer.
|Can they use it
|Yes, they choose which activities and games they want to work with and everything
is set up in a picture format so it doesn't require much reading skills; everytime the
child clicks on the picture of the activity or game that he or she wants to play it verb-
ally communicates to the child what they just selected and continues to guide the
child along while playing any of the activities or games.
|Can they
understand the
|Yes, but it is possible that some Pre-K students may need assistance when utilizing
the game. For example, whenever I play this game with the little boy I babysit, he
tends to try and click on everything on the screen, so they may need a little help.
However, overall the game is pretty basic and simple to follow along with.
|Is it engaging?
Will they want to
use it?
|Yes, it is very colorful and encouraging. The characters are always saying: "Good
try! Try again!" or "Good job! You did it!" There is also a variety of different activities
and games to suit different interests.
|Is it appropriate
for all learners?
|Yes, it includes a variety of games suitable for all learners.
|Can it be used by
learners with
special needs?
|Mollie's Math House includes "Universal Access", featuring "TouchWindow" and
"SingleSwitch" compatability to address a variety of different learning styles and

socially, or
against any
|No, not by any means that I've identified.

|I searched for the availability of the program in another language, but I could not
find it available in any other language.
|Is the context/
goal based on
violence or
|Not by any means.
|Does it have
enough user
|It has some user flexibility, but could have a little more flexibility in adjusting the
different levels of each game.

through the
|After completing an activity, the student or teacher is able to print out what that
student has accomplished.
|Can the learner/
customize any of
the settings?
|Yes, on some of the games, and the sound can be turned off if necessary.
effective is it?
|This program is instructionally effective because if the child answers incorrectly, it
will encourage them to try again, and it also talks to them throughout each game or
acitivity while commending their efforts; it's not overwhelming and there is always a
"help" button available if a child gets stuck.
|Will it teach what
it is supposed to
|Yes, this program is very on target and focused.
|Is the information
accurate and up
to date?
|Yes, the information presented and instructed is accurate and applies to the learners
of the ages stated.
|Is it free of errors?
|Yes, it is error free.

|Does it work well
|Yes, it works well technically.
|Do you think you
would use it?
|Yes, I have used it in the past at one of my local libararies in my hometown and
currently use it with the 4-year-old boy I babysit. The best part about Millie's Math
House is that it is the best program to work on numbers and counting with any child.
They have a great selection of games involving colors, and baking cookies with a
certain number of jellybeans on them, etc. It applies to the multiple intelligences and
is a great learning opporutunity for any child.

HP Netbooks Sport Their Own Linux Interface
HP is now entering the second round of the Netbook match. As advertized, Atom instead of VIA, slimmer, more affordable and most importantly, available with Linux.
Hardware giant Hewlett-Packard has now confirmed rumors that it is venturing into a Linux solution of its own. We're not talking about a complete Linux distribution, but rather a graphical interface built on top of Ubuntu.
HP's so-called Mediastyle interface (not at all unlike Apple's TV interface) is meant to hide Linux from its users. It offers quick access to music, IM, photos, videos and, naturally, email and the Web. The Linux model adds MIE to its name, meaning Mobile Internet Experience. HP is thereby trying to shy as much as possible from the "Linux" name. Hence the statement from Carlos Montalvo, VP of marketing for the Personal Systems Group at HP, in an article in news.cnet that "It's important we made sure that Linux does not manifest itself to the user."
Pictures of the Mediastyle interface have started to appear on the Web and Laptopmag.com has released a video. Looks pretty good.
The first HP Mini 1000s should start appearing in December and the Linux MIEs around January. Prices should start below $400, with the MIE at about $379.

Inside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: Apple drops FTP, adds WebDAV file sharing for iOS
Changes in Mac OS X Server file sharing
Apple has billed its Mac OS X Server product as "open source made easy," rolling together a variety of standard Unix services and open source projects and integrating them within an approachable, graphical interface in Server Admin.
With the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple created two interfaces for Server: the ultra simple Server Preferences, which made configuring services as easy as setting options in System Preferences, and the more complex but powerful Server Admin (below).
In Lion Server, Apple has greatly enhanced Server Preferences and renamed the app simply Server. Rather than being a simplistic set of preference panels, the app has transformed into what appears to be a toned down Server Admin, with an interface reminiscent of iTunes or the Finder.
Apple also appears to have removed much of the duplicated overlap in functionality between Server Preferences and Server Admin, relegating all file system and many other user-facing services (including web, instant messaging, and contact, calendar and wiki services) to the new Server app while leaving only network and backend services (such as DNS, DHCP, Xgrid, and more complex Mail settings) to the more technically inclined Server Admin.
Formerly, configuring file sharing on Mac OS X Server involved turning on individual services (AFP, FTP, SMB or Sun's NFS), then configuring shared folders under the Sharepoint tab of each service. In Lion Server, Server Admin is no longer even used to set up file sharing. Instead, it's simply a matter of defining a folder and checking boxes for AFP or SMB support, just like a desktop Mac.

There has been a tremendous amount of interest in anti-aging. This is being driven by the baby boomers wanting to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. At Advanced Medical & Wellness of Spring Hill, P.C, we try to stay abreast with all the current anti-aging therapies and procedures.
It is not uncommon for our doctors and their families to evaluate and utilize many of the anti-aging procedures themselves before recommending it to our patients. Our belief is that if it is not good or beneficial for our families, and us, it probably is not beneficial for our patients. We don't recommend anything we haven't tried ourselves first.
Our office is set up with several local labs and national labs to allow us to make more accurate diagnosis. We can do all of the standard blood tests, as well as food allergy testing, stool analysis, parasite tests, tissue mineral analysis, and many other advanced tests.
X-rays are sometimes necessary to determine the cause of your health condition. You don't need to go to the hospital; we have an on-site x-ray unit for your convenience. X-rays are read by our doctors as well as by a licensed radiologist. X-rays can generally be scheduled at the time of your initial visit or the next day.
We utilize several nerve testing procedures without the needles and electrical shock from EMG testing. These gentle, highly sensitive tests can evaluate. Both the sensory and motor component of your nerves and give the doctor needed information about the condition of your nerves. This allows you to receive maximum benefit from the treatments scheduled for you.
A computerized muscle test is employed to detect any muscle weaknesses or imbalances. With this information your Doctor will be better able to assess your condition and tailor a treatment/rehabilitation plan specifically for you.
A further note on diagnostic tests: You may have previously had some testing done prior to your arrival at our office. Often this may be done at several locations from several different Doctors. All of your doctors may not have evaluated these tests. At Advanced Medical & Wellness of Spring Hill, P.C. we feel it is vital that all of your past medical records be reviewed, including any testing or labs you may have had done. By reviewing your previous records and tests we will have a more complete picture of your overall health and can reduce the chance of duplicating unnecessary tests. Sometimes just by reviewing the records of several Doctors, we can arrive at a solution to your health problem. Often times in this fast paced society we live in, Doctors don't often have a chance to communicate with each other. We are also willing to communicate and discuss our findings and recommendations with your family physician and specialists.
Pain makes it impossible for a person live life to its fullest. We recommend a comprehensive approach for dealing with pain that focuses on eliminating the cause(s) of pain as well as aggravating factors such as stress, poor diet, premature aging, and injury. Special expertise and experience is required to properly manage pain, regardless of whether the pain arises from an auto or work related injury, sports injury, arthritis, headaches, or degenerative condition. A combination of spinal manipulative therapy, electronic-nerve blocking, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, nutrition, and exercise provides our patients the results they need. Spring Hill Pain Management Spring Hill IL Illinois
Our office is unique in the Fox Valley area for providing a type of therapy which has powerful pain-alleviation effects. Synaptic therapy is a type of nerve block using a frequency of electrical current, which can eliminate mild to severe muscular, skeletal, and nerve pain.
Physical trauma, mental stress, poor posture, and inadequate nutrition may cause pressure or interference on the nervous system resulting in pain and slow healing. The nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord and is considered to be the master controller of all of our body functions. All pain is "felt" by the nervous system. Injury of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves can be treated effectively by proper alignment of the bones of the spine. Spinal manipulative therapy is centered around aligning the vertebrae (backbones) of the spine so the nervous system is free to control various body functions and to maintain the health of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous system. The doctors in our office use a form of spinal manipulative therapy called "Activator Methods," which is a low force, gentle type of adjustment, serving to provide the necessary treatment without causing undue strain or discomfort on the healing tissues. Used along with other therapies, spinal manipulative therapy can remove pain and injury restore energy and improve mobility.
Our office provides a wide range of rehabilitative services geared towards the improvement of muscular, skeletal, and nerve injuries. Arthritis, sports related injuries (of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves), and other traumatic injuries often benefit from graduated range of motion improvement, as well as progressive resistance exercise for muscle strength and coordination training. Rehabilitation is an excellent complement to spinal manipulation, pressure point therapy, general exercise, and other treatments.
Our office utilizes a variety of equipment such as electronic nerve block, interferential therapy, hot and cold packs, and microcurrent therapy. Interferential therapy as well as microcurrent therapy are used to enhance muscle strength, coordination, and flexibility, pain relief, reduction of swelling, and nerve stimulation. These treatments may be used alone or as part of a prescribed program to enhance results for muscular, skeletal, neurological, and sports related injuries. Cold and hot packs are used to reduce swelling or to increase blood flow to an injured area.
Pressure point therapy is a medical technique that focuses on the source of many types of painful conditions. Many people are not aware that pressure points are causing their symptoms and limiting their movements. Headaches, muscle cramps and spasms, shooting, stabbing and sharp pains are often caused by tight spots located in muscles. These "tight" spots are known as pressure points. A careful and detailed muscular, skeletal, and nerve exam is done to locate pressure points (which are often hidden) so that specific treatment can begin. Stress, improper or inadequate exercise, poor diet, and other medical conditions can all cause pressure points. Natural therapies geared towards general health improvement can help relieve and remove pressure points.
Massage therapy can play an integral part of any health-enhancement program. A hands-on healing art, practiced for literally thousands of years throughout the world, that has dozens of health enhancing benefits. Some of the therapeutic uses of massage include lowering body stress, reducing muscle spasm, improving blood circulation, increasing lymph flow, calming the nervous system, reducing pain, and increasing energy levels. Our certified massage therapist offers several massage techniques, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, pressure point massage, and therapeutic massage.
We have several doctors who are also licensed acupuncturists. Our office uses single-use needles to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination. Acupuncture has helped with migraines, tension headaches, sinus conditions, colds and flu, stomach problems, PMS, arm and leg pain, and many other conditions.
An auto accident does not have to be severe to produce disabling symptoms. Many whiplash injuries occur during low speed collisions in which there is little or no visible damage to the car and the pain may occur immediately or may take months to appear. Many auto accident injuries affect the muscles, spine, and nervous system directly and respond well to the type of care that our Doctors provide. Work Injuries - Our individually designed treatment programs help our patients return to maximum function after work related injuries. In addition, now that carpal tunnel syndrome is fast becoming one of the most common medical problems in the workplace, new techniques offered by our office now gives hope to sufferers without surgery Our staff and Doctors provide bio-ergonomic studies, prevention workshops, and health lectures to area corporations. These lectures are informative talks on such subjects as carpal tunnel, stress, headaches, and other health related subjects. The bio-ergonomic studies help spot problems before they result in work related injuries. Call today for a no-obligation presentation 847-428-0634.
Food refinement and processing has created a food supply that, according to government studies, does not supply even the recommended daily allowances (RDA) of many vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiency disease. Fortunately our office utilizes highly absorbable nutritional supplements that are recommended for a variety of conditions. Supplements are recommended according to individualized testing in order to help ensure optimal results.
Our office utilizes a special type of test that allows us to not only detect those items to which you might have immediate reactions to, but also to detect those items which there is a delay of symptoms. This delay may be several days after contact with a certain substance. Because this reaction happens several days later, it is next to impossible for you to figure out what may have caused you to feel tired, irritable, headaches, stiff and sore, dizzy and a host of other symptoms. If you don't feel yourself and can't find out why then it may be delayed onset allergies.
We offer a variety of individualized weight loss approaches for our patients which may include medications and/or nutritional components. All of our approaches include dietary and exercise recommendations. We emphasize nutritional detoxification in order to achieve long-term results. Several different types of programs are available and are individually tailored for each patient's weight loss goals. Lifestyle modifications such as food combining, nutritional content of foods, and other essential educational concepts are taught to each patient to foster long-term results.
Each of us is exposed daily to hundreds of toxins in our food, water, and air, including residues of pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. Unfortunately many of us accumulate these undesirable toxins faster than our bodies can get rid of them, and they are deposited in various tissues of the body. In response to this problem, we have designed highly effective nutritional detoxification programs, recommended for people with chronic persistent symptoms or for those wishing to "clean up" their health. The detoxification programs include consultations on how to eat, prepare food, and identify symptoms that may compromise quality of life. Nutritional detoxification is therefore recommended for those people with persistent symptoms or for those wishing to "catch up" with months or years of neglected health.
Herbal Therapy has been used in cultures throughout the world. In fact, most prescription drugs are derived from plants and herbs. Plants and herbs in their whole state (the whole plant/herb and nothing but...) retain the subtle ingredients necessary to effectively alleviate a variety of health conditions without side effects. Drugs that have been derived from herbs and plants generally have one ingredient; this unnatural state of the plant or herb will produce undesirable side effects and does not help the body to cure the cause/causes, but only help to alleviate the symptoms.
Herbs and plants, on the other hand, help strengthen the body's natural healing mechanisms to treat both the symptoms and their cause. Herbs are prepared for internal and external use including teas, tinctures, extracts, oils, ointments, and compresses. In many cases, one may not need to use drugs but may benefit from non-toxic herbs and plants instead.
If you have any health questions, please call us. Dr. Horn or one of the associate doctors will be happy to talk to you. 847-428-1515

Following dramatic improvement, Bobcats look to take next step
The Charlotte Bobcats were one of the most improved teams in the NBA thanks in large part to new coach Steve Clifford and free agent acquisition Al Jefferson. They'll look to add a necessary piece or two this offseason to continue that upward trend, writes Nick Parker.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- During his end-of-year press conference, Bobcats coach Steve Clifford began unsolicited to list the factors that went into why his team went to the playoffs this season. To no surprise he listed Al Jefferson, Kemba Walker and Josh McRoberts as the first three reasons, in that order. Then his list went to the "good, good play that we got from our role players -- (Anthony) Tolliver, (Chris) Douglas-Roberts, (Jannero) Pargo." He concluded by talking about how his team began playing its best basketball as Cody Zeller showed improvement after the All-Star break.
Noticeably missing from that list? His starters on the wing -- Gerald Henderson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
That slight may not have been intentional, but it's no secret that the Bobcats won't be able to take the next step unless they substantially upgrade their wing scoring.
True shooting percentage measures a player's shooting efficiency based on field goals, 3-pointers and free throws, and both Henderson and Kidd-Gilchrist ranked in the bottom third among qualifying NBA players at their position. When your offense works inside-out, starting a shooting guard that made 40 3s on the year (34.8 percent) and a small forward that made just one outside shot all season (1-of-9) isn't a workable model if you want to win games in the playoffs.
There are things both players do extremely well, no doubt. Clifford praised Henderson's intelligence and the way he communicates. He's above-average defensively on the wing, too, and when he's out there they "have a chance to play with a purpose." But his lack of confidence shooting the ball forces him to frequently pass up open 3-pointers on kickouts, electing instead to drive to the basket, and he said Tuesday that he has to develop his 3-point shot into more of a weapon this offseason.
"To give himself a chance to have a better year individually next year, does he have to improve his range shooting? Yes, he does," Clifford said. "And I think if you asked him, he'd say the same thing."
Kidd-Gilchrist is no different. He possesses strengths that allow him to contribute, but his shot is painful to watch at times and throughout the Miami Heat series, they aggressively sagged off of him -- essentially begging him to shoot a jumper while they doubled Jefferson. Clifford acknowledges that he'll never be a knockdown shooter, but he has to be respectable enough to keep defenders honest enough that he can play to his strengths.

It's easy to forget that the former Kentucky star is only 20 years old, but he shot 56 percent this season inside the restricted area (inside eight feet) and only 27 percent outside of it. He made just 29 shots outside of that restricted area in 1,500 minutes of action -- about one field goal every 51 minutes of game action. By comparison, Andre Iguodala, another non-scorer who he has said he models his game after, knocked down a shot outside of eight feet every 18 minutes or so and finished the year around 65 percent in the restricted area and around 35 percent on 3-pointers.
"Well, see, OK, he has to and he knows this: he has to be able to make open jump shots in order to become a more consistent offensive player," Clifford said. "The difference with him is this right now, today, as we speak, he has a way to play that helps our team win. He's not a non-offensive player, who is a pretty good defender. He's an elite defensive player. So, to me, he's an exception because of the fact that there aren't many guys like him."
That's true. Kidd-Gilchrist is a major part of the reason the Bobcats were fourth in scoring defense. They were almost three full points per 100 possessions better with Kidd-Gilchrist on the floor and it's no coincidence that their December defensive lull came when he was injured.
That's part of the problem, though, with the roster the way it is currently constructed: Henderson and Kidd-Gilchrist are strong defensively but they struggle in the same area. And it's the one they need the most to complement their best player's skill set and each other's.
It's why Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien were sent away in a midseason deal for Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour, which Clifford praised as a "great trade" that "instantly allowed Al to play better."
"The more shooting you have on the floor, the more space there is for your best players. You're seeing it now in the playoffs, and it'll be more and more prevalent as the series go on," Clifford said. "Your shooting is your spacing, that's it. It's hard to have guys out there -- particularly with the game on the line -- that they don't have to guard out to the 3-point line. It just makes offense hard for everyone."
And offense is what's ultimately holding this team back. The Bobcats were fourth in scoring defense, but only 24th in scoring offense in 2014.
In Jefferson, they know what they have: a free agent steal a year ago that's going to give them 20 points and 10 rebounds on an average night. He's a known commodity and an elite frontcourt weapon that totally transformed the way they are able to play offensively. In Walker, they have a franchise point guard that took a step forward in Year 3 and one they think can be the starting point guard "on a really, really good team," according to Clifford, with even more room for growth.
But outside of those two, the Bobcats' offensive production is spotty at best and they desperately needed someone to step up as that third option.
The Bobcats' other three starters -- Henderson, Kidd-Gilchrist, and McRoberts -- combined to shoot just 44 percent from the field and average just 29.7 points per game combined for the season. Kidd-Gilchrist and McRoberts only went for 20 points or more in one game each.
You can live with that if you have scoring help coming off the bench, but they didn't. Only six times all season did a player off the bench go for 20 points or more, and two of those were by Ramon Sessions, who is no longer in Charlotte. Charlotte's bench was 19th in the league in points per game (30) and did it at the eighth-worst clip in the league (42.6 percent), according to HoopsStats.
That's a substantial offensive burden for Jefferson and Walker to carry each night. The Bobcats are aware of that and aren't shy about the areas they need to address to improve on a 43-39 record and first-round playoff exit.
"You go against a team like Miami, which has so many of the things that we need in terms of perimeter shooting. I think that's something that's vital for us," team president Rod Higgins said. "We're going to have to address our second unit in terms of scoring off the bench. Our backup point guard situation is something we have to address as well and just trying to find good all around players that will help us continue to improve our team. I'm always a fan of any time you can find a shooter at any spot, you look for him."
They'll have up to $19 million in free agency to play with in the offseason, depending on if Detroit's top-eight protected draft pick owed to Charlotte falls outside of that range after the draft lottery. The wildcard in that is whether Josh McRoberts uses his player option, and Ridnour, Tolliver, Douglas-Roberts, Pargo, and D.J. White are all unrestricted free agents and will take up some of the cap.
Either way, Higgins and general manager Rich Cho said they're not opposed to another Al Jefferson type offseason splash if they find the right player. They think Jefferson's success, a motivated owner, Walker's emergence and the new found playoff relevance makes Charlotte a more attractive offseason possibility if they do attempt to spend big this offseason.
The major question mark, though, is how many of those free agency dollars do you splash around knowing that you have an owner Michael Jordan that's never gone into luxury tax territory and Kemba Walker becoming a restricted free agent next summer. Jordan did swallow the bill for amnestying Tyrus Thomas, which allowed the Jefferson signing, so maybe he would venture above the luxury tax threshold -- especially under the new more favorable collective bargaining agreement for owners -- if it's a piece that could get the Bobcats into the Eastern Conference elite.
"We're going to have some cap room this summer. We also have some assets to play with in a future pick. If we don't get the Detroit pick this year, we'll have protected it to (No.) 1 (overall) in 2015," Cho said. "You always have to balance short term versus long term. We'll have a nice range of cap space."
They give away their first-round pick to the Bulls from the Tyrus Thomas trade (the gift that keeps on giving), but they do receive Portland's 24th overall pick.
Higgins and Cho can't talk about individual free agents on the market, but there are some shooters on the market that could fit. Nick Young and Jodie Meeks are both unrestricted shooters at the guard position. Lance Stephenson is available, but will carry a heavy asking price and is the type of ego the Bobcats have tried to avoid bringing into their locker room.
There are options at small forward, too. Gordon Hayward could provide the shooting they need and is better and more efficient when he doesn't have to shoulder the offensive burden he had to in Utah this season. He's exactly the type of lethal third scorer that could play either wing spot, but he's a restricted free agent and Utah could match any offer. It probably won't help Hayward's cause that Cho is extremely analytics-based and Utah's putrid defense (last in defensive efficiency) was actually worse when he was on the floor.
Trevor Ariza's another offseason free agent whose game would fit this roster well and the Wizards may not have the space to resign him and Marcin Gortat. Luol Deng will be mentioned, too, but the Bulls were better once he was traded (coincidence or not?), his numbers were down in every category and he's a career 33 percent 3-point shooter, so it's doubtful Charlotte throws the money necessary there. Rudy Gay, who was substantially better in Sacramento than he was in Toronto, will be available, too, but carries a heavy asking price and is an inconsistent shooter.
Regardless of whether they try to find that wing scoring in free agency, internal development or the NBA Draft, a year has tremendously changed this franchise's story. They now have one of the league's elite coaches in Clifford -- that's the only way you can explain a jump from 29th to 4th in scoring defense over the course of the year. In addition, they might have the second-best duo (Jefferson and Walker) in the Eastern Conference and only 1.5 games separated their seventh-place finish from a fifth-place finish in the East this season.
In other words, they are close to their stated goal of becoming a top-four team in the conference.
"I don't know if I can put a timeframe on it, but if you think about this season, the way the East was set up, we could have been a top-three team (in the conference) this year. We're not far," Higgins said. "I would imagine that there are going to be some teams that get better in the East, and hopefully we're one of them."

Predestination, 2014.
Directed by The Spierig Brothers.
Starring Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Madeleine West, Christopher Kirby, Christopher Sommers and Noah Taylor.
The life of a time-travelling Temporal Agent. On his final assignment, he must pursue the one criminal that has eluded him throughout time.
Time is linear and moves forward, so says the "science". Most recently, it was Christopher Nolan and his black-holes, tesseract's and singularities that have brought time and destiny to the big screen as he examined how we perceive time and its ever-ticking destination. With a slightly different take on the time, destiny and the paradoxes that come with the manipulations of time are directors The Spierig Brothers with Predestination, one of the bravest, craziest but supremely entertaining sci-fi'ers of recent years.
Predestination is a film that takes many chances, enjoying its almost shackle-free production from the Hollywood system who may have thought different to a film about time paradoxes, »

I would love to go to the Dead Sea. It's the place where skin diseases go to die. You jump into its salty waters, bob up and down for a bit, and emerge looking like a fresh-faced baby. Except, to actually afford to go there, I'd have to start cooking meth Breaking Bad style. So what do you do when making drugs isn't an option? You bring the Dead Sea home! Here are three Dead Sea psoriasis treatments that you don't have to trek to Israel or Jordan for!
Pour Dead Sea salts into your bath
They say that Cleopatra – considered one of the most seductive women ever – regularly took dips into the Dead Sea. And now, you can recreate the experience in your own tub!
What you need to do is buy one of those wholesale bags of Dead Sea salts. The 10kg-plus bags that you eventually forget that you bought and rediscover in the cupboard 20 years later. It's more economical and will last longer. Then, dissolve two handfuls or up to one cup into the water. They're great for psoriasis because of their mineral content, which includes high concentrations of magnesium, bitumen, bromide and sodium, and help to reduce inflammation and stop itching in its tracks.
However, the thing I enjoy the most, is that Dead Sea salts leave your skin feeling SMOOTH. Like butter, or like the car in Karate Kid that the poor child had to wax for ages. For some reason the plaques just slide off, and the affect lasts for hours.
Rub Dead Sea mud over your plaques
The black mud found at the bottom of the Dead Sea is not your typical backyard mud. No way, its special magic wizard mud.
Dead Sea mud is said to improve blood circulation and enhance cell regeneration, but what is great for flakers is that, once its peeled off, it carries away with it dead skin cells, impurities and toxins, which all aggravate psoriasis.
One more thing, research has shown that it can cause a 40% reduction in the depth of wrinkling. So if your face regularly gets mistaken for a leather handbag, and you have psoriasis, then this treatment is for you.
And guys, don't feel effeminate. My girlfriend uses mud packs and mud facials all the time that "somehow" "maybe" "possibly" end up on me. It's for medical purposes, I swear!
Use Dead Sea scrubs & shampoos
Lastly, you can find Dead Sea salts blended into a variety of products that are great for psoriasis.
The brand that I've had the most success with is Spa MAGIK. You can get hydrating black mud soap, Dead Sea shampoos for scalp psoriasis, as well as bottles of tingly Dead Sea shower and bath gels and exfoliating Dead Sea scrubs. They have more products than you can shake an exceptionally large flake at. What's also good about the brand is that it is very clean in terms of natural ingredients being used.
Unlike Cleopatra, you don't need to be carried by a bunch of slaves and tossed into the Dead Sea riverbanks to look and feel good. No, you can toss yourself into a tub covered head to toe in mud to get the same experience. Your flakes will love you for it.

I started managing a podcast as a subset of my site http://www.SciFiDimensions.com. WordPress is installed in a folder called "podcast" (It's at http://www.SciFiDimensions.com/podcast). Now I'd like to use WordPress as my main content manager, and I'd like to have that "podcast" folder be named "main".
If I just go in and change that folder name, will it screw up the existing blog/podcast entries? What's the best way to make the transition?

Peter Blake, Sgt. Pepper Image Maker, Likes Crowds: Interview
Peter Blake isn't only an artist, he's also a collector, of an unconventional sort.
Blake says he owns "what I've begun to bill as the worst doll collection in the world, which is made up broken, funny, celluloid dolls." Another item is a set of small plastic models, described on the box as "people being frightened in B movies."
His collection is on view at the Museum of Everything, London W1 (through Dec. 24). Items culled from Blake's hoard -- part image bank, part magical mystery tour through the ephemera of the day before yesterday -- have been glued and fitted into work in his new exhibition, "Homage 10 x 5: Blake's Artists" (Waddington Galleries, 11 Cork St., London until Dec. 11).
This is, as he explains, a tribute to 10 artists he admires, "the ones I've most enjoyed over the years and wanted to pay homage to." Some of these tributes, five to each of Blake's heroes, are quirky to say the least. On a model 16th-century warship, those B-movie victims -- wide-eyed and holding up their hands in horror -- are engaged in one-sided battle with medieval knights in armor.
This is one of a series of miniature galleons, paying tribute to the U.S. artist H.C. Westermann, on which Blake has staged combats between, as he puts it, "people you wouldn't expect to be fighting." This kind of art is what you would expect of the most whimsically humorous of U.K. Pop artists.
Jagger Neighbors
Blake, wearing a black three-piece suit like a Victorian farmer and sporting a white goatee, has been a Pop artist since before such a term existed. Born in 1932, he was brought up in Dartford, Kent, on the outskirts of London. It was just the kind of ambience in which British rock music was incubated (Mick Jagger's family lived nearby).
It's no accident that Blake's best-known work is the cover of the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" album (1967). That celebrated group of kindred spirits from Aleister Crowley to Fred Astaire is an example of one of Blake's favorite subjects: crowds.
There are more Blake mob scenes in his collaged homages to Damien Hirst, youngest of the artists in his top 10, whom he admires "enormously." In these landscapes, butterflies (a Hirst trademark) hover above a motley population of movie stars, acrobats and onlookers culled from a set of obsolete French encyclopedias Blake once bought at auction.
If there's a common thread among the diverse artists he has picked, Blake muses, "it's the use of collage." One of them is Kurt Schwitters, who usually included a bus ticket in his Dada works. "In a way, he invented the idea of making a piece of art from a piece of rubbish. So I've always paid respect to him."
Quick Nostalgia
Blake says "I bring something different into the painting world. My art brings in popular art and music." Part of it, he says, is "a love of things past, but it's never been that slightly cute love of Victorian pots or something. The work is often nostalgic, but it can be a nostalgia for an hour ago or last week."
He grew up a fan of popular entertainments such as fairs, boxing, circuses and wrestling. These enthusiasms inspired early works such as "Loelia, World's Most Tattooed Lady" and "Siriol, She-Devil of Naked Madness."
The phrase "Pop Art," he believes, originated in a conversation he had with the critic Lawrence Alloway at a party in London in the late 1950s. "I was describing to him what I was trying to do," Blake says. "And he said, 'Oh, you mean a kind of pop art?' That's how I think the phrase was born, but there are many other versions."
(Martin Gayford is chief art critic for Muse, the arts and leisure section of Bloomberg News. His most recent book is "Man With a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud." The opinions expressed are his own.)

SUMMARY: At MarketingSherpa's 'Marketing to the Global 2000 Breakfast' brainstorming session last week, attendees noted that beyond marketing to official decision makers and obvious influencers, marketers must also reach out to evangelists within companies.
These evangelists are not always easy to recognize by title. They may be very senior, or not. What's important is that they are passionate about the company problem that your product solves. If you can get your information to them, they may share it with the influencers and/or decision makers via email, by intranet postings, and handouts for committee meetings.
Here's a Case Study on one company...

Airsoft guns are replicas of actual firearms, bearing a striking similarity to the real thing. They have become a popular alternative to paintball for recreational purposes. You can even buy airsoft guns modeled after firearms used in science-fiction films such as "Aliens."
"You really did not manage this well," Klaus, 71, reportedly told his bodyguards, in what may be the understatement of the year, as reported by local television station Nova.
In the video, the attacker simply walks up to Klaus and shoots him in the arm without anyone apparently taking notice. Klaus gives him a confused, stern look before turning back to the crowd he was greeting. He was reportedly taken to the hospital after the incident but suffered only minor bruises after the incident.
Even if his intentions were not lethal, the attacker apparently had a political message, saying the Czech government was "blind and deaf to the laments of the people," before being taken away by police.
However, the most interesting aspect of the aftermath may be that the attacker, who described himself as a 26-year-old communist sympathizer, was able to give an interview to the station before police apprehended him.
