This is the last full week of action before byes kick in, so viable fantasy options are more readily available today than they will be again until around Thanksgiving.It doesn't mean you shouldn't be looking at the matchups. There are some premium teams with elite fantasy options looking at bad production, namely the Jets facing the Ravens, the Texans playing host to the Steelers -- uh, welcome back Arian Foster (we suppose) -- and the Lions traveling to Dallas and the Bills going to Cincinnati.Yes, even the likes of early season stars Matthew Stafford and Ryan Fitzpatrick might be dealt a case of the hiccups this week for fantasy owners. This doesn't mean they should sit, but like Philip Rivers last Sunday, they could be disappointing for the first time.Meanwhile, Shonn Greene likely still won't break out and those breakthrough Week 3 receiver stars Torrey Smith and Victor Cruz probably shouldn't be trusted just yet.Here is this week's Start 'em and Sit 'em. Enjoy the respite before the bye-week roster wrangling kicks in:Note:It should be reminded, the obvious choices are omitted here. We focus our energy on the players you might actually be making a decision on.Start 'em• QB Matthew Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, TE Brandon PettigrewStafford is clearly capable of being an elite fantasy quarterback as long as he stays healthy. He makes everyone around him better, including Pettigrew. Megatron is Stafford's go-to guy, but the tight end is a big part of the Lions' offense. Best should be better than he was a week ago, even though the Cowboys run defense is pretty stout.• QB Tony Romo, WR Dez Bryant, RB Felix Jones, K Dan BaileyRomo might not be 100 percent, but he is still likely better than what you have as an alternative. Jason Witten should be considered his primary receiver right now, but Bryant will get healthier and more productive as the weeks go on. The biggest beneficiary to Miles Austin's absence might be Jones, though. With the injuries, the Cowboys are going to play a little more conservatively. Jones broke through for 100 yards and, while the Lions run defense is solid, it is not as good as that of the Jets or 49ers that slowed Jones in the first two weeks.Sit 'em• D/ST Lions, D/ST CowboysThese are not bad defenses, but there are better weeks to play them. If you have alternatives, sit these for a D/ST with a better matchup.Start 'em• QB Jay Cutler, D/ST Bears, K Robbie GouldAfter an early-season buzz saw schedule against the Falcons, Saints and Packers, the Bears get a reprieve against the Panthers. There is no reason to sit any Bears players this week. Cutler tends to be a fringe starter in standard leagues, but he has proved productive against much better competition, so now is the time to use him. Also, the Bears defense will enjoy facing a rookie quarterback, no matter what you think of him long term.• WR Steve Smith, TE Greg OlsenAfter everyone jumping back on board through two weeks, we need to share a vote of confidence for Smith here. Sure, the Bears are a tough defense to face, and Smith did zilch against lesser competition last week, but the threat of 140 yards and a score are there. Keep Smith and Olsen active, something we cannot say for the rest of the Panthers offense.Sit 'em• QB Cam Newton, RB DeAngelo WilliamsNewton didn't have ideal conditions to continue his tear last week and this should be an especially tough place for him to produce. The Bears swallowed Matt Ryan and contained Aaron Rodgers. You cannot be excited about Newton coming into Chicago as a rookie. Williams has been lapped by Jonathan Stewart in fantasy value, if only because Williams doesn't get the pass receptions Stewart gets. The Bears have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so consider Stewart to start for you but not Williams.Start 'em• QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Rashard Mendenhall, D/ST Steelers, K Shaun SuishamThe Steelers haven't gotten their running game going, but you shouldn't jump off Mendenhall just yet. They are saving him for games like this and will use him to control the clock and play keep away. Big Ben should have another productive day if this one becomes a shootout. It is not something to bank on and start the Steelers' secondary receiving targets after Mike Wallace.• K Neil RackersThe Texans figure to have their worst offensive game of the season in this one, especially since the Steelers are coming off an embarrassing effort against the sunken Colts. You won't sit Andre Johnson or even Matt Schaub in most leagues, but if you're looking to take advantage of someone on the Texans, it should be the kicker as those drives stall in the red zone and become field-goal attempts.Sit 'em• RB Ben Tate, TE Owen DanielsArian Foster is returning to the starting lineup just in time to face the Steelers' run defense. You likely have to start Foster, because you have waited weeks for this, but you definitely don't want to be using Tate here. Even if Foster is limited and needs relief, the Texans figure to throw to set up the run and may never get to that second part of the game plan.Start 'em• QB Michael Vick, RB LeSean McCoy, WR DeSean Jackson, D/ST Eagles, K Alex HenerySince his non-throwing hand is not actually broken, despite early reports, Vick is a must-start for fantasy owners. He should have his best day of the season against a 49ers team that stops the run but can give up yards in the air. Vick's Eagles might not be in midseason form, but you should fully expect them to rebound with a vengeance here. McCoy remains a must-start, despite the matchup. Jackson will rebound, even if the Eagles settle for field goals against the 49ers defense.• RB Frank Gore, TE Vernon DavisGore should have his best week yet, against an Eagles defense that has given up the most points to RBs in fantasy to date. The way to beat the Eagles is to pound the ball right at them and keep Vick off the field. If Alex Smith can get anything done in the passing game, it should be down the middle of the field and away from those corners. Davis rebounded last week and should go back to being an every-week starter in fantasy.Sit 'em• D/ST 49ers, K David Akers, WR Michael CrabtreeThese two are useful options in most weeks, but the Eagles are coming off a loss and were abused by the Giants last Sunday. They have a blowout effort coming. Crabtree is improving health-wise, but the bad quarterback play and those corners make him tough to trust outside of being a bye-week replacement at this point.Start 'em• WR Lance Moore, WR Devery Henderson, WR Robert Meachem, TE Jimmy Graham, RB Darren SprolesDrew Brees' receivers all are worth a look. The Jags have played solid defense, perhaps, but they haven't faced a wide-open offense like the Saints' yet. Moore broke through in Week 3, muddying this up a bit. It is had to tell which one of Brees' targets is going to get the most looks, but at least each of these four have the promise to be pretty good.• WR Mike Thomas, TE Marcedes LewisThese two are risks, but if you need to start them, they stand to be better every week Blaine Gabbert grows into the starting role. Thomas made an impact in Gabbert's first start and Lewis finally played amid his calf injury. Lewis should improve health-wise, and the fact the Saints are fourth-worst in fantasy against TEs helps build a bit more trust. Maurice Jones-Drew should be a busy man, for as long as his knees hold up.Sit 'em• RB Pierre ThomasThomas' best fantasy days are behind him. Sproles is now the No. 1 Saints RB to have because of his threat as a receiver while Mark Ingram is getting more of the carries on the ground. You can start Ingram against a Jags defense that has help RBs to the second-lowest point total this season, but you don't want to be taking a chance on Thomas before the bye weeks kick in.Start 'em• QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, WR Steve Johnson, RB Fred Jackson, K Rian LindellAfter beating the Chiefs, Raiders and Patriots, the Bills look like a fantasy gold mine. That may not be the case this week. The Bengals play close to the vest and we just cannot see the Bills orchestrating a blowout victory yet. You still have to start this trio because of their performances to date. You might even consider the Bills D/ST an option against a rookie quarterback.• WR A.J. Green, TE Jermaine Gresham, Cedric BensonHere is a vote of confidence for Andy Dalton's primary targets, even if we cannot be sure how good Dalton is going to be from week to week. The Bills did make the Raiders offense look like an aerial show and they have given up a lot of points and yards the past two weeks. As for Benson, an appeal of his suspension shouldn't be heard until next week, giving him another one-week reprieve on the fantasy pine.Sit 'em• WR David Nelson, TE Scott ChandlerThey have proved productive to date, but we won't see the Bills running up 30-plus points in this one, unless it is a blowout. A blowout would mean a lot more production with the backs than the secondary receiving targets.• RB Bernard ScottHis time is going to come, but Benson will have to officially go on suspension before you consider using Scott.Start 'em• WR Percy Harvin, D/ST VikingsHarvin hasn't been featured in the Vikings passing game, but you have to trust he will eventually rise above his team's misuse. This matchup is a good time for that to happen. Donovan McNabb figures to be his best yet and you might even consider using WR Michael Jenkins or TE Visanthe Shiancoe, if you have needs at those positions. The Vikings defense has had a tough start to the season, but things should improve here against a offense that really misses Jamaal Charles and Charlie Weis.• WR Dwayne BoweThere is not much to like about the Chiefs offense right now, but Bowe remains a solid start in all leagues. Matt Cassel should only get healthier and the lack of a running game should force Cassel and company to open it up, especially back at home. RB Dexter McCluster is going to be a larger part of the Chiefs offense now and he is a sleeper in deeper leagues at the flex position, particularly in PPR formats.Sit 'em• RB Thomas JonesThere is nothing to really like about either team's offense in this game -- except Adrian Peterson facing the team that is second-worst in fantasy against RBs -- but there is no good reason to sit any of their fantasy options either, save for Jones. He is the Chiefs' primary back now, especially if you consider McCluster more of a receiver. The Vikings still have a good run defense and starting Jones in any league shouldn't be a priority right now.Start 'em• RB Chris Johnson, WR Nate Washington, K Rob Bironas, D/ST Titans, TE Jared CookThe Browns run defense is better than it has shown, allowing the third-most yards in the league to date, but C.J. remains too important to your fantasy team to sit him. With Kenny Britt suffering his season-ending injury, the Titans won't have the vertical game to get in Johnson's way. If they do pass, Johnson figures to get more involved. He is going to benefit from Britt's loss, as is Washington on the outside and Cook down the seam. As for the offense as a whole, one less red-zone target, and more improvement in the running game, should make Bironas one of the elite kickers in fantasy again.• RB Peyton Hillis, TE Ben WatsonStrep throat won't hold Hillis back this time. Madden Curse, anyone? Montario Hardesty wasn't overly impressive in Hillis' absence, so the Browns figure to go back to their horse this week. The Browns just don't have anything going on the outside, so consider Watson one of the few tight ends in the league that is his team's primary receiver. He is a solid option if you are coping with a hole at the tight end spot.Sit 'em• WR Mohamed Massaquoi, TE Evan MooreColt McCoy's promising preseason just hasn't taken hold yet in the early going. He should continue to improve but his targets just don't look ready to help him through this maturation process. Massaquoi did catch a late TD last week, and Moore has been a target in the red zone, but counting on a passing score from this offense week to week is a crapshoot. We have already seen how there is no go-to threat for McCoy to trust, unless you're counting the veteran Watson.Start 'em• RB Tim Hightower, TE Fred Davis, WR Santana MossThe Redskins lost Monday night because they could not commit to the run. The Rams have allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL through three games, so it should be another productive week for Hightower owners. Davis should rebound, even if the Rams are No. 1 in fantasy against TEs to date. They haven't faced a talent like Davis, and Chris Cooley might be improving, but he still isn't 100 percent healthy.Sit 'em• QB Sam Bradford, RB Steven Jackson, RB Cadillac WilliamsThe Redskins defense hasn't played poorly and they have held up pretty well against QBs (No. 7 against them in fantasy). Bradford had a rough outing against the Ravens, so trusting him against the Redskins shouldn't be necessary. Bradford is more of a bye-week replacement QB in fantasy until someone develops in his receiving corps. As for the Rams' backs, Jackson is healthy enough to play but not to star. The Redskins have an underrated run defense, so Williams won't be a particularly productive flex option either.Start 'em• QB Matt Ryan, RB Michael Turner, WR Roddy White, WR Julio Jones, TE Tony Gonzalez, D/ST Falcons, K Matt BryantSeattle is going to need a lot more than the 12th man to slow a Falcons team coming off a tough road loss (their second of the season) and heading into a game against the Packers. Every one of your Falcons are worth playing here. This one should be over early, and Turner, who was slowed last week, should be allowed to mop up late.• WR Sidney RiceRice was able to overcome injury and the uninspiring play of his quarterback to have a breakthrough Week 3. It makes him a candidate to start in all leagues, even if his supporting cast stinks. The Seahawks likely will play from behind here and maybe even turn to Charlie Whitehurst to open things up. It will be very interesting to see if Tarvaris Jackson lasts another week as the unquestioned starter.Sit 'em• RB Marshawn LynchLynch wasn't able to impress much last week and this Sunday he gets another elite run defense to deal with. The Falcons know stopping the Seahawks' running game cripples that offense, so Lynch should be followed closely all over the field in this one. Lynch owners just haven't had any luck with his matchups out of the gate. He has faced some of the league's best.Start 'em• RB Ahmad Bradshaw, WR Hakeem Nicks, WR Mario Manningham, K Lawrence Tynes, D/ST GiantsEli Manning has looked like a world-beater again in the past six quarters. Maybe he was just kicked the offseason rust off. He gets Manningham back here and Nicks should prove healthier and more productive. Bradshaw will be busy on the ground or through the air. In fact, all of the Giants, including Brandon Jacobs and the revived defense figure to be viable plays.• QB Kevin Kolb, TE Todd HeapThe Giants still are banged up in the secondary. If they didn't beat up the Eagles with the pass rush last week, they would have wound up giving up a lot of yards again. Kolb should be gashing the Giants with Larry Fitzgerald and his tight end here. This is about the best time to be starting Kolb, who should know the Giants well from his Eagles days. If you need a sleeper option for a defense, the Cardinals are not a bad play. Manning's error-prone ways, and sack-prone line, could get them some points.Sit 'em• RB Beanie WellsHe is dealing with injury and, if he plays, he is going to be facing a very good Giants defensive line. The linebackers are nothing to write home about, but the Giants are more susceptible to the pass, and therefore backs don't rack up a lot of rushing yards against them. This is not a week to trust a Cards running back, especially if Wells is held out again.• WR Victor CruzCruz was a monster in his first start of his career, but a potential return of Manningham from a concussion and a move back to the slot should force Cruz back to the fantasy pine. He is a decent stashee as a bye-week replacement but counting on him week to week is not advisable ... yet.Start 'em• RB James Starks, RB Ryan Grant, WR Jordy Nelson, D/ST Packers, K Mason CrosbyThere is no good reason to sit any Packers. They finally had running out the clock on the ground in their playbook last week and the Broncos don't figure to pose much of a challenge here. Starks is the better play over Grant, even if Grant is going to be doing the starting and finishing. Starks is a more explosive talent for fantasy owners and should get more touches this week than he did against the stout Bears run defense.• WR Brandon LloydThis looks like a start all Packers, sit all Broncos game. Lloyd proved healthy and productive enough to consider using again, so get him back active. The Broncos figure to fall behind and there should be garbage-time yardage for Lloyd and Eric Decker.Sit 'em• RB Knowshon Moreno, RB Willis McGahee, WR Donald Driver, WR James JonesThe Broncos might want to run the ball, but the Packers just might have taken over as the best run defense in the NFL. They have allowed a league-low 98 yards on the ground and no touchdowns to backs. They have given up 30 catches and 315 yards to backs out of the backfield, both league highs, but neither of these Broncos backs are real receiving threats. As for the Packers receivers, Driver and Jones look like low-end bye-week replacements as Jermichael Finley, Greg Jennings and Nelson just get too many of the good looks.Start 'em• RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, D/ST PatriotsThe Patriots coming off a loss is a scary proposition for anyone. The Raiders are going to struggle to contend with Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Deion Branch if they couldn't handle the Bills and the Jets. The Raiders don't have a bad run defense, but they have given up the third-most points to backs in fantasy. It should make Green-Ellis more productive than he has been and perhaps even the likes of Danny Woodhead and Stevan Ridley sleepers if you are desperate for a flex option. The Pats defense was abused by the Bills, but expect them to rally against a Raiders offense that doesn't have a real receiving threat.• RB Darren McFadden, WR Denarius Moore, K Sebastian JanikowskiThe Raiders sure didn't look bad against the Jets, but that was mostly McFadden's doing. He is a big banged up, but he should play, and if he plays, he is too good to sit. Moore has broken through and should be a candidate for yardage and perhaps scores as the Raiders are forced to try to keep up with the up-tempo Pats.Sit 'em• WR Chad OchocincoYou don't really need us to tell you this, but Ochocinco is a fantasy zero. Somehow, Brady is on pace for a record season and Ochocinco has done nothing to contribute for the Pats or fantasy owners. We still say there will eventually be a spark here, but you aren't justified starting him in fantasy until that comes, or the bye weeks necessitate you using him again.Start 'em• RB Ryan Mathews, RB Mike TolbertIt has been difficult to know which Chargers back is going to have a good week, but we should be fairly confident both are going to be productive here. The loss of Antonio Gates makes the Chargers more reliant on the run and the short passing game. Both Mathews and Tolbert will be busy. You obviously shouldn't be sitting Philip Rivers and Vincent Jackson in any leagues, even if they let you down last week against the Chiefs.• WR Brandon MarshallMarshall is coming off a disappointing week in Cleveland and he faces one of the league's best secondaries. He should remain active, though, especially since the Dolphins figure to have to throw from behind to keep up.Sit 'em• RB Daniel Thomas, RB Reggie BushThomas is all the Dolphins seem to have going right, but you still have to sit him against a Chargers front that has given up the fourth-fewest points to backs in fantasy. The Chargers also figure to run away in this one early, so sticking to the run will be made more difficult. You might consider Bush to be a factor in a rally through the passing game, but he just isn't worth trusting at this point. His fumble a week ago was costly and could have him in the doghouse.Start 'em• D/ST Jets, D/ST Ravens, K Nick FolkThe Jets defense was beaten up on the ground last week against the Raiders, but you shouldn't be looking to replace them in your fantasy lineup. This should be a game played close to the vest and defenses should dominate the action, regardless of some of the games these teams have played to date. Expect sacks, some turnovers and mostly field goals. Ray Rice is about the only must start on both rosters, although you can make a case for Dustin Keller. The rest will be "use them at your own risk."Sit 'em• RB Shonn Greene, RB LaDainian TomlinsonIt is easy to suggest sitting a slew of Jets and Ravens in this one, but it didn't really play out that way when the Ravens played the Steelers in Week 1. The important ones to avoid here are those above. Greene hasn't gotten enough touches to be a useful fantasy starter, and L.T. is getting his points as a pass receiver, something you cannot count on week to week. Neither are advisable plays against the Ravens' run defense.• WR Torrey SmithLike the Giants' Cruz, Smith is this week's case of "congrats on winning him off waivers, now sit him." Smith is an intriguing talent and he is finally healthy and getting looks after this surprise three-TD effort last week, but the Jets corners are tough and Smith is no guarantee to be as involved every week. Stash him, sure, but don't start him in a tough matchup like this one.Start 'em• RB Joseph Addai, WR Reggie Wayne, K Adam VinatieriThe Colts finally figured out the way they could compete post-Peyton Manning: run the ball and control the clock. They managed to do it against the best run defense in the NFL, so doing it against the Bucs should be a lot more likely. A revived running game, in addition to a potential change to Curtis Painter at quarterback, could ignite Wayne this week. Don't give up on Vinatieri here either. The Colts are going to finally move the ball, even if the bad QB play will get them stalled in the red zone.• RB LeGarrette Blount, QB Josh Freeman, WR Mike Williams, TE Kellen Winslow, K Connor Barth, D/ST BuccaneersThis should easily be the most productive week yet for everyone on the Bucs. They have held up fairly well against a rigorous early schedule. The Colts shouldn't be much of an obstacle for your primary Bucs weapons. We have waited for a matchup this juicy to watch the likes of Blount, Freeman, Williams and Winslow to take off. You should also consider using Barth and the Bucs D/ST in any format.Sit 'em• WR Pierre Garcon, TE Dallas Clark, WR Austin CollieGarcon is clearly a third option behind Wayne and Clark and Collie remains nonexistent. It will be interesting to see if the running game can open things up some for the Colts, but expecting it to come on the road here without any certainty at the quarterback position is not advisable. Pick these guys up if they were dropped but consider them bye-week options.Eric Mack writes fantasy for SI.com, including the Start 'em, Sit 'em, the Weekend Fantasy Watch List and his Sunday night staple Fantasy Football Fast Forward.

After receiving my replacement drive, it also failed during the rebuild in my array. I entered the serial number in their web site and the warranty they issued on this replacement was for only 1.5 years. Well 1 year plus 1.5 years is not 5 years. I am really not happy with WD customer service. I am going back to Seagate. I shouldn't have to waste my shipping money sending their failed drives back.

The episode follows the basic format that had become a bit too common in the franchise; someone is killed and Jessica gets involved because she or someone she knows is falsely accused of being the murder. In this case, the murder victim is a flamboyant, ambiguously gay upscale florist who is never seen as being "petrified". Jessica's friend works at one of the magazines and after a little bit of detective work it is discovered that the killer is the woman who worked for the other magazine. Why did she do it?
Well, the flamboyant florist had been selling celebrity gossip to both magazines, including the fact that the married murder had an affair with the plastic surgeon. So, she killed the Hollywood florist to prevent him from selling the news about her affair and and, she feared, ruining her marriage.
It is a pretty weak plot line, given the fact that the murder's husband was more then willing to forgive her for the affair. A cynical person might wonder if adultery is really worth killing over in early 1990's Hollywood, but I digress.
Heck, someone might wonder why the Hollywood florist is described as being petrified or why he was, apparently, in the closet about his sexuality? Makes you wonder just how right-wing was the audience of Murder, She Wrote?
The cops are friendly but largely inept. When the killer is revealed, the scenes reveal that the florist was killed while making a phone call to the rival magazine. You would think that sort of information might have come out sooner in the investigation and pointed the finger at the killer early on. Alas, the killer does not want to go to prison and proceeds to kill Jessica! Yup, the episode was all a dream sequence. Jessica was suffering from jet-lag at the dinner party and fell asleep. She and the guests have a good laugh about it and the episode ends.
All in all, not a terrible episode but the basic storyline was being used over and over again.moreless

FOLEY, Ala. (AP) - About 3,000 people attended a rally in favor of a tax that would provide some $75 million for schools in Baldwin County.
Parents, students and school backers marched through the town of
Foley on Sunday in support of a proposed 1 percent sales tax.
It's up for a countrywide vote on March 23.
State and local funding has declined more than $61 million in
the last two years, and school officials say without extra money
they will likely have to layoff teachers and cut programs.
Opponents argue that Baldwin County school officials are to blame for the problem because of mismanagement.
The proposed sales tax hike could raise about $25 million
annually for three years.

Mets meet with Fuentes
December, 8, 2008

The Mets, in the hunt for a closer, just concluded a meeting with Brian Fuentes, and they're scheduled to meet with Trevor Hoffman next. They don't currently have any plans to meet with Kerry Wood, who is not in Las Vegas for the winter meetings. The Mets have not made a formal offer to Francisco Rodriguez, but they did discuss "concepts."

We flew in from Texas to San Jose, rented a car and drove to Fortunata and just wanted a convenient downtown hotel for the night....this one did the trick! Our 3rd floor room was very small but served our need to just crash. You'd likely want to bring your own face towels (theirs are like sand paper), but bath towels were fine. One other thing. only available electrical outlet was in the bathroom or high up by the a/c unit....none on the bedroom walls for chargers and such!
The staff were super-nice and the very inexpensive room (<$60 on hotels.com) included buffet breakfast. Breakfast was as good as the that in our later, pricier hotels and lots of foreign languages being spoken from around the world. I particularly want to thank the front desk attendant....wish I could remember his name....who let me park right in front and had someone watch my car all night! Don't miss going to the 3rd level to get best pix of the volcano. And make sure to stroll to the park just a block away....beautiful.

Budget Decisions Are Delayed, Not Settled
Washington political leaders have averted an economic meltdown during the baseball playoffs — only to delay it until the upcoming football playoffs.
Congress and the White House came to an agreement Wednesday night to avoid the U.S. defaulting on its sovereign debt and to reopen the government. Those are welcome developments.
The problem, however, is that a replay of the budget standoff is now scheduled for January. A bipartisan committee will meet to reconcile two budget agreements, one passed by the Senate and one passed in the House. The committee may also take up the nation's longer-run budget challenges: growing entitlement spending and an overly confusing tax code.
But the U.S. has played this game before, the best known being the Simpson-Bowles commission. It advocated for many long-term changes to both taxes and entitlements, but those recommendations went nowhere.
The risk to kicking the can down the road is that business uncertainty and voter disgust could once again skew private spending and hiring decisions in the first quarter of 2014. Surveys done by the New York and Philadelphia Federal Reserve banks show area manufacturers are very upbeat about the future. But another fiscal standoff could crush that optimism fairly quickly.
Fiscal uncertainty could also sway decisions at the Federal Reserve. It looks very unlikely that the Fed will start tapering at its October policy meeting and worries about another budget debacle in early 2014 could keep tapering off the table at the December meeting.
As noted by economists at TD Securities, one important development in the agreement is the McConnell rule, which changes the game on the debt ceiling. The president now has the ability to suspend the limit in order for the government to pay its debt obligations. Congress can vote against raising the limit, but will need a two-thirds majority vote. The rule suggests, but doesn't guarantee, that the debt ceiling and thus the full faith and credit of Treasury debt will be removed from politics.
How will the rule function? The answer should be known in February 2014, when the debt limit comes into play again. That new deadline adds another layer of policy uncertainty to the early 2014 outlook.

Whether your business is just a dream or something you're already deeply involved with, a professional loan can provide the boost your company needs. For operations of all sizes, credit can be an integral part of expansion, growth and success, and rather than seeing credit as a liability, it's important to recognize its role as an investment into the future of your business. To illustrate, here's a look at a few of the ways a professional loan can help ramp up your business's growth.
I have learned one of the most important things about starting a new business is to just get going. You can personally get so tied up in the planning stage that it can be paralyzing. Not to mention that everyone you tell your business idea to will undoubtedly have a negative comment to make. It's not that they don't believe in you. Rather, it is the fear inside of them that they project onto you; in an attempt to spare you from the failure they fear themselves.
Many people want to start their own business and most think they need thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so. While that is true for many types of business, it is also possible, with a bit on ingenuity and elbow grease, to start a business for $100 or less. Check out these great ideas:
If you work from home, or are planning to, it is important to know what to look for when buying a new home with the perfect home office space.You want to start a home business, but your current home isn't really suited to it. So, you're on the hunt for a new one. Here's what to look for in a home that's suitable for running a home business.
Unfortunately, in business and in life, there are situations that come up from time to time that may just require a person to contract the services of a confidential investigation and loss prevention company. Finding the right investigator is no easy task and will take some work. Usually, there are a variety of different investigators in an area. The best way to narrow the selection is by taking the time to go in for some consultations. There you will be able to not only meet the investigator but also ask all of the questions you need to so it is a good way to start.
Many business opportunity seekers consider taking out a second mortgage on their home in order to get their seed capital. Of course, when applying for a second mortgage, it certainly helps if your credit score is good. But what if it's not? There used to be a time when having less-than-perfect credit meant getting an automatic, unequivocal, no from lenders and banks. Things have changed. Today you can get credit with bad credit, if you know how.
Are you aware that Instagram recently introduced an amazing update that gives you the chance to record or post 60-second videos? This is a drastic increase from its former 15-second videos. In addition, this forward thinking social network is bringing in unique video capabilities like video view counts and slow-motion potentiality, to stage. Instagram has portrayed remarkable growth over the past few years, and this has greatly improved the video content for many brands.
I realize there are a lot of real estate "flippers" out there. With all of the television programs on it makes it all look almost too easy. Most flippers will tell you that buying the property is the hardest part. Most successful flippers will also say, buying a property is when you make your money. You have to buy it right and make sure you do not over pay for the property.
Your great ideas and passion are only half the battle in running a successful business. The ability to provide adequate start-up capital is not always the only key to success either. In fact, even with large sums of cash injected into a new venture, a huge number of new startups will still fail within their first year. Why is that? Often times it from failure to plan a procedure and budget for proper advertising.

Westerly — A group of residents concerned about the future of The Westerly Hospital has organized a candlelight "Save Our Hospital" walk from 5 to 6 p.m. Thursday.
The 1.4-mile walk will begin at Town Hall and end at the hospital, where participants will join a community meeting in the Henry J. Nardone Conference Center. At the meeting, attorney Mark Russo, the court-appointed special master for the financially troubled hospital, Town Manager Steven Hartford, representing the Westerly Hospital Area Residents Committee, and Dr. Christopher Lehrach, chief transformation officer/interim operations, will update the mastership process and answer questions.
Joe Iacoi, one of the walk organizers, said Monday that the group is hoping to urge Russo and Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, which is planning to purchase the hospital, to preserve maternity services. Russo announced last week that obstetrics services would continue "at least and up until June 1" and that he is working with L+M to "present a plan for continuing women's health services" there.
"Westerly needs babies, and we want to maintain the best community hospital we can," said Iacoi. Both he and his wife were born at The Westerly Hospital, as were their two children.
He said the group is not opposed to L+M acquiring the hospital, but wants to make sure that Russo and L+M rethink the future of maternity care and find a way to preserve it. If women could no longer have their babies at Westerly Hospital, he said, they would be forced to travel about 22 miles to South County Hospital in Wakefield, R.I., or about 18-20 miles to L+M in New London.
Preserving maternity services, he said, is critical to establishing a positive relationship between the hospital and the community.
"It's the most positive thing in one's life, and the happiest time for family and friends coming to the hospital," he said.
Another organizer, Susan Kenyon, said her motivation stems from her personal connections to the maternity services at the hospital. Her grandmother, Gertrude Parmelee, was head of the maternity ward for 30 years, and four of her children and five of her seven grandchildren were born there.
"And my daughter made it to the hospital with just 15 minutes to spare," she said, adding that the ride to either South County or L+M takes about 25 minutes. "Maternity services are like a cornerstone of the hospital, and the nursing staff there is the best I've ever encountered."
Kenyon said she fears that if women can't deliver their babies at Westerly Hospital, "we're going to have babies being born in cars all over the place."
People planning to attend the walk are asked to bring candles. Women are asked to wear pink and men should wear blue.
For information, call Iacoi at (401) 348-3782 or Kenyon at (401) 377-0063.

I have created a page called "home". I have set that page as my front page.
I have then edited page.php in my theme so that it basically asks which page it is on and then runs the loop with a $wp_query in front of it so that the correct posts are dished out and paginated. This works perfectly on every page apart from the home page.
The home page dishes out the first page of posts perfectly but when clicking on next_posts_link the same posts are repeated again and again.
I have spent the last 3 hours trying to find a solution but I have not found one. If you can help me I'll buy you a pint and a bag of crisps.
Here is the code I am using within page.php
<?php if ( is_page('home') ) { ?>
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );?>
<?php } ?>
Please help me, you're my only hope.

Cover Story: HCAD Allegedly Running an "Enron Style" Scheme by Shifting the Property Tax Burden from the Rich to the Poor
In 2012, the Harris County Appraisal District valued Robert Mandala's modest Spring home at $59,500. The property-tax agent who represented Mandala said HCAD, while establishing a value, purposely ignored the lower priced homes in the neighborhood and grabbed sales numbers from the most expensive properties.
Mandala, a Houston area construction worker, lost his appeal to HCAD's appraisal review board. Now he's stuck with paying more property taxes.
A months-long examination by Houston Press finds that while HCAD fought Mandala and other owners of moderate housing for every single assessment penny, the appraisal district routinely handed tax breaks worth several million dollars to big corporations.
Valero, ExxonMobil, Brookfield Properties and Hines Interest -- who own some of Houston's most recognizable office buildings and priciest refineries, such as the Williams Tower, One Allen Center and the largest refinery chemical complex in the country in Baytown -- successfully battled HCAD and knocked down their initial appraised values by millions.

As a result, billions of dollars aren't on the tax base for Houston Independent School District, the City of Houston and Harris County.
Critics say that HCAD has knowingly placed the tax burden on the not-so-rich, a claim HCAD's chief appraiser Jim Robinson and assistant chief appraiser Guy Griscom say just isn't true.
Others, including HCAD, say that the Texas Legislature didn't help appraisal districts' ability to hold the true market value of high-end commercial property when an equity provision was added to the Texas state tax code.
Meanwhile, folks like Texas Organizing Project's Durrel Douglas are comparing HCAD to the E-word. Says Douglas, "This is Enron style book-keeping so taxpayers and investors beware!"

Surrounded by Presidents
on Presidents' Day
On Presidents' Day weekend we look up from our New Hampshire locale in the White Mountains at the majestic Presidential Range. Among its mountain peaks are Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Eisenhower, Pierce, Monroe, Adams, and Adams (John and son John Quincy).
Mount Washington is the star of the tourism brochures – the highest point east of the Mississippi, at 6,288 feet. The world record wind speed of 231 mph was recorded at its summit in 1934.
The employee parking lot at Garnet Hill is peppered with ski racks, and the occasional "This car climbed Mount Washington" bumper sticker. We're a pretty recreational bunch. But should the hectic pace of Presidents' Day weekend business threaten to get the better of us, we have only to head out into winter, look up at the presidents in the distance, and think about what the men for whom they are named accomplished so that we might be here. The holiday feels special indeed after that.

I have a project coming up that requires me to store information about some music albums. I'm thinking just a simple album table with the following fields:
| id | name | artist |description| year |
But I'm wondering what the best way to store the track list would be. I can either have another field in the album table, and have the tracklist data (track name, track run time) stored as a JSON object or something similar, and then pull it out and parse it in my application, or I can have another table called
tracklists with the following fields:
| id | name | album | runtime |
and pull it out based on the
album field.
How would you go about doing this?

I would like to know the techniques for hard disk are still available for ssd.
Suppose that we use a solid state disk based on nand flash memory for second storage(without hard disk).
when we read data, disk cache(which has been used for improving between main memory and hard disk) is effective with ssd?
when we write data, write buffering in main memory is also effective with ssd?
I'm so confused to use terminology(such as disk cache, write buffering..). sorry for that.

Neisseria meningitidis is an important cause of childhood meningitis and septicaemia. Between 1999 and 2005, 133 invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) cases occurred in Jerusalem, 112 (84·2%) of them in children aged 0–14 years. The annual incidence rate in Jerusalem was higher than the national average (2·45±0·6 vs. 1·13±0·16/100 000 population, P=0·002). Most of the children (82·1%) were from low socio-economic Arab and Jewish ultra-orthodox communities; mortality was higher among Arab than Jewish children (1·3 vs. 0·22/100 000 person-years, P=0·004). A cluster of 10 children with severe meningococcal sepsis (three fatalities) emerged in the winter of 2003–2004. Compared to the other 102 cases in 1999–2005 both meningococcaemia (100% vs. 51%, P=0·003) and mortality (30% vs. 6·9%, P=0·014) rates were higher. Serogroup B comprised 77·6% of the bacterial isolates. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed considerable variability among cluster isolates, but significant resemblance in Arab cases throughout 1999–2005. The increased susceptibility of specific sub-populations to IMD necessitates further evaluation.

The VW Group is planning a crossover explosion in the next three years. As the brand sees it, the key to satisfying customer demand for SUVs is to replace core models like the Tiguan and Touareg – new versions of which are due in showrooms in 2016 – and create more unusual spin-offs like the VW Beetle Dune and TT Offroad.
The wackier models will allow cars like the new Tiguan (shown in our exclusive images) to play it safe with styling and a chassis tuned more for comfort than fun. Still, engine options are set to include downsized petrol turbos, an 80mpg-plus BlueMotion model and a plug-in hybrid.
A year after the new Tiguan debuts, a long-wheelbase seven-seater version is set to appear – and our image shows how it could look.
Affordable seven-seater SUVs are seen as a big growth area in the market, as large families migrate away from unfashionable MPVs – this is why Land Rover plans to do the same thing with its new Discovery Sport.
There are even rumours that a lower-slung Tiguan Coupe, to rival BMW's new X4, could be launched. Plus, an up!-based Taigun is expected in 2015, while the much larger CrossBlue, set for the US, could still come here.

Isaac turns 2
Local child battling, overcoming rare syndrome
What a difference a year makes.
As Isaac Corbett celebrated his second birthday Oct. 4, his parents marveled at how far he has come since he was diagnosed with Hurler Syndrome last fall.
"One year ago, after receiving the diagnosis, we had very little hope for our child," said Isaac's father, Gabe. "One year ago, he was going backwards, and probably faster than we thought."
A rare genetic disorder, Hurler Syndrome generally takes the lives of its victims at only five to six years of age without treatment. But Isaac was diagnosed at a young enough age for doctors at Duke University Medical Center to perform a bone marrow transplant.
After living seven months in Durham, N.C., while Isaac underwent chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and the transplant, the Corbett family has returned to the Richmond area. "We still head down to Duke about once a month for an infusion," said Isaac's mother, Natalie, "and visit the clinic at MCV every two weeks for a blood draw and exam. . . We no longer have to give him daily infusions, only oral suspension medications."
"We have one resilient child," remarked Gabe.
Not only is Isaac progressing well with his weekly physical and speech therapy, but he is crawling, pulling up to a stand, and learning to climb stairs.
"We also enjoy witnessing his problem-solving skills in action and relish the fact that his mind is functioning well," said Natalie. "When asked what sound a cow, sheep, horse, and dog make, Isaac can respond appropriately.
"However, I am still waiting anxiously to hear him say 'Mama,' rather than continue to be associated with a cow – as Isaac says 'moo' instead."
Although Isaac's parents must take special care to guard against head injuries as Isaac learns to walk, their freedoms are expanding. They can invite a few healthy people into the home at a time, and even bring Isaac inside some other homes.
"We can now go to outdoor restaurants, be in the sunlight 10 minutes a day, and have him try people food again," said Gabe. "What most parents experience in one year of development, we've stretched over two and counting."
The Corbetts said they could not have come this far without the support of many friends and family members, including Gabe's mother, who helps with Isaac several days a week, and Natalie's mother, who lives in the Midwest but visited for several months. Other relatives and friends have helped look after Isaac, supplied food, assisted with household tasks, and volunteered in the community to raise funds for Isaac's care.
For his recent birthday party, about a dozen family members filled the house to watch Isaac eat some cake.
"We had a blast," said Gabe of the occasion. "But he's very picky, [and we] ended up having to put his prized yogurt melts in and on top of the cake for him to even try it."
Following the birthday party, the family packed the car and headed to Duke so Isaac could get his scheduled infusion the next morning. "I guess it's just our life right now," said Gabe.
"There is a lot to keep track of with this busy little guy," Natalie said, noting that Isaac still faces surgeries to correct skeletal abnormalities in addition to the constant monitoring and medications.
"But he amazes us daily with his progress and determination."

Amazon.com Review
The Brethren is in many respects his most daring book yet. The novel grows from two separate subplots. In the first, three imprisoned ex-judges (the "brethren" in the title), frustrated by their loss of power and influence, concoct an elaborate blackmail scheme that preys on wealthy, closeted gay men. The second story traces the rise of presidential candidate Aaron Lake, a puppet essentially created by CIA director Teddy Maynard to fulfill Maynard's plans for restoring the power of his beleaguered agency.
Grisham's tight control of the two meandering threads leaves the reader guessing through most of the opening chapters how and when these two worlds will collide. Also impressive is Grisham's careful portraiture. Justice Hatlee Beech in particular is a fascinating, tragic anti-hero: a millionaire judge with an appointment for life who was rendered divorced, bankrupt, and friendless after his conviction for a drunk-driving homicide.
The book's cynical view of presidential politics and criminal justice casts a somewhat gloomy shadow over the tale. CIA director Teddy Maynard is an all-powerful demon with absolute knowledge and control of the public will and public funds. Even his candidate, Congressman Lake, is a pawn in Maynard's egomaniacal game of ad campaigns, illicit contributions, and international intrigue. In the end, The Brethren marks a transition in Grisham's career toward a more thoughtful narrative style with less interest in the big-payoff blockbuster ending. But that's not to say that the last 50 pages won't keep your reading light turned on late. --Patrick O'Kelley --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Not What I expected

At one point in my life, I showered three times a day. I was living in a subtropical country and it was summer, so I'd take one in the morning, once I came home after being outdoors, and then right before I went to bed. During winter, I'd skip the afternoon shower, but no matter how cold it got, I wouldn't even consider skipping my morning and night ones.
Then I went to college. Not only did Res Life stick me in the most ghetto dorm on campus, but that dorm used the grungiest communal bathrooms I'd ever seen. Having 150 girls share one bathroom is just asking for nastiness. The pale yellow walls were often splattered with unidentifiable fluids, while the floors were stained with dirt, old bathwater, and lord knows what else. On Friday nights, there would be vomit or excrement on the doors. People would have sex in the showers while you were quietly taking a dump. Worst of all, the bathrooms wouldn't be cleaned between Fridays and Monday mornings because the cleaning staff took weekends off — and we all know what weekends are like in college.
The dorm was so ghetto, that during the second semester, a pipe in one of the upstairs toilets burst, causing my floor's bathroom ceiling to collapse. Thankfully, no one was in there when it happened, but our entire floor had to use the communal bathrooms of other floors for a month. As if the bathrooms didn't have enough people crowding in them already.
During this time, I cut down my showers to once a day. A few times, I even went 36 hours without hopping in, which I would've considered disgusting just a few months earlier. Trucking my toiletries to a communal bathroom was so gross and such a hassle (especially having to walk down the hall in a towel while guys stared), that I kept my showers to a bare minimum.
I figured that all girls took at least one shower once every 24 hours, but I was wrong. After moving out of that run-down dorm, I finally got to enjoy nicer bathrooms, but I still limited showers to once a day since I had to split the times with several other girls.
Early on during our time as roommates, I noticed that one girl I lived with took showers only every 4 – 5 days. I didn't want to bother her about it, since it's her body and not mine, but I began to grow concerned at how our room would smell. She wouldn't even shower after coming back from a bar or a club, nor would she wash up during the morning after. Luckily, she wasn't an especially pungent-smelling person, so it was okay, but it made me think about whether we really NEED showers once a day (for hygiene's sake) or whether our perceptions of cleanliness are socially determined.
For instance, whenever I visit my family's home in the Philippines, I notice that my relatives take showers at LEAST twice a day. Most would take them three times a day, and like me, they never consider going more than 24 hours without one. That makes sense, though, as the Philippines is an extremely humid country. You feel a lot grimier after 12 hours without a shower in the Philippines, than after 24 hours without one in frigid New York, where I went to college.
Many of my other friends, however, find it strange that I once habitually took showers twice a day. They've told me it's unhealthy to wash myself so often since I'm scouring away helpful bacteria and opening myself up to cold viruses.
Nowadays, I take showers once or twice a day, depending on the weather and on whether I go out (I always take one before leaving the house). Taking showers might be annoying, but I love feeling clean before starting and ending my day.
How often do you shower — and do you think there's a standard for how often people should shower? And just for fun, are you a night shower or a morning shower type of person?

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
"Unfortunately, the curators of the exhibition 'Comics Unmasked' at the British Library have been overwhelmed by the Gothic vision, at the expense of every other contribution to the medium. And as creative as [Alan] Moore's gothic is, it is still a lot less interesting than the material that has been left out of the exhibition. It is an aesthetic for adolescent boys who think that unhappy and twisted stuff is correspondingly profound, while comedy is trivial and facile. The truth is often the other way round, where horror and gore are really just sentimentality, prurient and moralistic at the same time, while comedy allows marvellous slippages of meaning that are much more intelligent […]
The gothic does encourage some flashes of imagination, but it is quite taxing to see yet another raddled prostitute eviscerated – in spattered ink, of course – for the entertainment of troubled adolescents. How much wittier to peer through the Desperate Dan-shaped hole that Desperate Dan leaves in a brick wall – right down to the buttons on his shirt. Where are those truly subversive characters, the Bash Street Kids? They've been elbowed aside by the showroom dummies (an unintended self-satire) in the Guy Fawkes masks that loiter in the shadows of the exhibition, threatening nothing."
— author James Heartfield, arguing that the British Museum exhibit "Comics Unmasked" omits the most subversive comics of all, kids' comics like The Beano and The Dandy
Comics | The Dundee, Scotland, city council has approved a proposal by publisher DC Thomson to name a street in the city's west end to honor the Bash Street Kids, stars of the long-running comic strip in The Beano. Dundee already has statues honoring comic characters Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx. [BBC News]
Comics | Laura Sneddon continues the New Statesmen's week-long series on comics with a look at children's comics in the U.K., including the digital relaunch of The Dandy, the continuing popularity of The Beano (which sells a respectable 30,000 copies per week) and the new kid on the block, The Phoenix. [New Statesman]
Comics | Scottish publisher DC Thomson has asked Dundee City Council to rename a street in the city's west end to honor the Bash Street Kids, stars of the long-running comic strip in The Beano. An unnamed street adjacent to 142/144 West Marketgait would be called Bash Street as part of the celebration of the magazine's 75th anniversary. [LocalGov]
Retailing | North Hollywood will get a new comics shop on Nov. 10, when Blastoff Comics opens its doors. Owner Jud Meyers seems to think it is an essential part of a hip neighborhood: "They want restaurants, they want bars, they want supermarkets, they want gyms. What didn't they have? They don't have a comic book store, every neighborhood has got to have a comic book store." The opening will feature an assortment of comics guests, including Mark Waid, Greg Hurwitz, and Jim Kreuger, whose The High Cost of Happily Ever After will premiere at the event. [Patch.com]

I was one of the two incorporators of a non profit organization incorporated in CA. I left the non profit and the other incorporator has formed board (and is using the nonprofit for his own personal fund raising benefits). But he is continuing to list me and my wife as founder of organization. He is also using an event that we held long before the non profit was formed as part of the non profit on a website.
We don't want to be associated with this non profit in any way. but he is continuing to misled people calling us founders and listing our names and images in a website.
I have sent him a written email requesting to remove our names and images from non profit. What can we do if he continues to use our names and images as founders to misled people and for his own personal benefit
Business Attorney
First you have a lawyer write the letter and perhaps it will have more impact.
After that, depending on your budget, you may wish to contact the Secretary of State or think about a civil action. I hope you never get to the last step, and it should not be necessary.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.

Sony Xperia Z: Hands-on with the Waterproof 1080p powerhouse
Sony is starting 2013 with a bang, in the shape of the new Sony Xperia Z smartphone, a 5-inch 1080p powerhouse that wraps a 13-megapixel camera, quadcore S4 Pro processor, and 4G LTE in a waterproof glass casing. Revealed at CES today, and beginning a global roll-out in Q1, the Xperia Z puts Sony back on top of its game (and leaves us wishing Sony, not LG, was picked for the latest Google Nexus product). Read on for our hands-on first impressions.

Just installed this today and its all I've been looking for. A Twitch player, Twitch chat & a sidebar widget to show whether I'm on/offline to my website visitors. It's simple. Clean interface. No confusing instructions, user friendly and self explanatory. Took less than 5 minutes to setup on my site. I have nothing negative to say about it and I will be donating. Thank You!
