Zach Randolph recorded another double-double.
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 27 (AP) -- The Portland Trail Blazers knew that the time to turn around a two-game losing streak was against the New Orleans Hornets without Chris Paul.
Zach Randolph had 26 points and 11 rebounds, and the Trail Blazers beat the Hornets 100-85 on Wednesday night.
"They were without a lot of guys, but we have to take advantage when we get breaks like that and we did,'' Blazers coach Nate McMillan said.
Portland grabbed a 73-55 lead in the third quarter when Jarrett Jack passed to Brandon Roy for a dunk. The Blazers outscored the Hornets 26-14 in the quarter to take an 80-60 lead into the final period and led by as many as 22 points.
The Hornets were without Paul, who sprained his ankle Tuesday night in the first quarter of a 102-94 loss at Seattle. Last season's rookie of the year, who was averaging 18.4 points and nine assists, is out indefinitely. "With Chris out there, guys know they're going to get wide open shots, so mentally when you know you've got a guy like that you can prepare for shots and have more confidence in knocking them down,'' Hornets guard Jannero Pargo said. "With him out, guys didn't really know what to expect tonight.''
The Hornets, who were already without Bobby Jackson (cracked rib), David West (elbow) and Peja Stojakovic (back), have lost 14 of their last 17 games. They have dropped six straight on the road.
Portland has won six of its last eight.
Rasual Butler, Desmond Mason and Pargo each scored 16 points for New Orleans, which went on a 16-point run in the fourth quarter to cut it to 85-79. Pargo scored eight straight during the run.
Roy said it made him nervous, because when the Blazers were struggling through injuries they liked to take advantage of teams that got complacent with leads.
"I was a little concerned. I had to get my sweat going again. And I knew Zach did, too,'' Roy said.
Roy and Randolph combined to stop the Hornets' comeback. Roy converted a layup and Randolph made a jumper to give the Blazers a 10-point lead with 3:41 left.
``I'm hoping the guys are tired of hearing about great effort,'' Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "Let's get a win. We need to continue focusing. We are shorthanded, and our efforts need to be at an all-time high.''
Portland led by as many as 11 points early and capped the first quarter with Travis Outlaw's follow dunk that made it 28-21. Rookie Sergio Rodriguez's 3-pointer extended the lead to 11 with 7:15 left in the first half.
Despite Paul's glaring absence, the Hornets stayed in the game, and narrowed it to 50-46 on two free throws by Mason late in the second.
Randolph hit a hook shot and a jumper to give the Blazers a 54-46 halftime lead.
"We knew the Hornets wanted to come in here and sneak one away, but we really wanted to pick this win up because we needed it,'' Roy said. "You've got to protect your home floor.''
Randolph has 17 double-doubles this season.
Ime Udoka added 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Blazers. It was his second double-double of the season.
Notes: The Rose Garden held a moment of silence before the game for President Gerald Ford, who died Tuesday at age 93. ... The Blazers came back from a 27-point deficit to beat the Hornets 92-91 on Nov. 10 in the teams' first meeting this season. ... Hornets G Devin Brown was called for a flagrant foul after coming down hard on Jack. Portland C Jamaal Magloire was later called for a flagrant against Brown.

Going Green; Dell Works with IT Managers on Recall
Opinion: Looking for the best ways to turn your data center green; Dell moves to help businesses with the battery shuffle.The term "greening of" is now part of the lexicon. If you Google it (oops, Im not supposed to say that), you can find that just about anything can be "greened"if thats a word. PCs and monitors have sported Energy Star stickers for more than a decade, but power conservation ideas have skipped by the data centerespecially in small and midsize companies, where inefficient practices have survived in the era of IT cost cuttingwhich is now putting IT managers on the hot seat, literally.
The fact is, data centers are consuming too much electricity, in the form of power and especially cooling. In our latest eWEEK Road Map feature, Senior Editor Kevin Fogarty examines the startling statistics of just how inefficient things are.
For starters, most companies are throwing too much cooling at their data centersan average of 2.6 times too muchyet still end up with hot spots. The problem isnt so much the heat generated by the servers or poor air conditioning; its flaws in airflow design, flaws that companies such as American Power Conversion have made a mission to address.
From the hot seat into the fire, Dell officials are hoping they never see another week like the last one. On top of the PC makers recall of 4.1 million laptop batteries due to fire risk, company officials announced the poor earnings results they had warned of in July. But, oddly, whereas Johnson & Johnson was praised for the way it handled Tylenol tampering in 1982by pulling every bottle from the shelvesDells action in doing the right thing has been met with angst on the part of some IT managers, reports Senior Writer John G. Spooner.
Consumers trading in their batteries is one thing, but administrators with hundreds or thousands of Dell laptops to deal with are looking for help and more information from Dell in identifying the batteries and managing the recall. Company Chairman and founder Michael Dell defended CEO Kevin Rollins last week, but it would not surprise anyone to see Dell pull a Steve Jobs and return to his old post.

Skip to comments.Let's put this to bed. We have bigger fish to fry.
Posted on 04/27/2012 4:56:50 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Everyone please send whatever you are able to, whether it is $10, $100 or $1,000+. The DUmmies, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves. Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads. Better for us to just help with what we can. Maybe you can donate as a memorial for a lost loved one, a servicemember who never made it home or was disabled defending our country. Perhaps you'd like to give to keep free discussion alive and to show them that we're not knuckling under. I'm sure a well thought out or prayerful meditation will lead you to see the need and how you can help. If every registered FReeper and our lurkers would each just help out with a fin or a sawbuck, or better yet a Ben Franklin, we could put this to bed and get on with the conservative cause.
Every post. Most of the politicians I posted about have been dead for at least 180 years. My guy was Rick Perry, just a shame his performance in our Endless Reality Show Debates primary did not help his cause. But since Mitt's the last man standing, I am supporting him now. My other choice is Obama or someone running from the nutjob parties. I'd rather saw off my right arm then vote for Obama, and I am fairly sane, so that leaves out the nutter candidates. Yeah, I will promote Romney, because how I see it, if you don't you are supporting Obama. Like I said, I'd rather saw off my right arm then support the dog eater.
I was replying to DJ MacWoW, who brought it up.
I was thrilled when Perry decided to toss in his hat. In my opinion, he did himself in with his embarrassingly poor debate performances. People concluded, rightly or not, that he was a George W. Bush clone complete with the Texan accent and the seeming lack of the ability to speak well. I HAD hopes for him, and he may yet be our nominee in the future, but he didn't have what it took to beat the "teleprompter" in chief and it was painfully obvious. A little more practice and 2016 may be his time.
LOL, so you think her posts made sense, were OK, no wonder you are a Romney supporter.
That's directly from your post 1165, Wolfstar. You think this site is a fraud, and that the owner is committing a fraud.
Now with this last post, you are backtracking, bigtime. Now, all you want is an "accounting".
I am not buying what you are selling.
So why is it that you are on a website that you think is a fraud?
That USED TO BE a certainty and a quick one at that.
Probably if JR has his way, it still is.
However, some mods seem to get away with getting pretty close to that level of intensity of a written assault. Thankfully, I haven't seen them cross that line yet. But they sure seem to get right up close to it.
And in terms of LIFE ON FR, they certainly do issue "death threats" quite aggressively toward some perspectives and individuals.
However, you are not the type to issue such a threat to anyone, imho... Folks falsely accusing you are . . . grossly unaware, to put it politely.
Well Rockland County, NY's was corrupted by lying. That much was certainly obvious. And by a party official.
Try not to use Reagan to promote your Reagan hating man.
Thanks for your kind understanding of my poor words.
Much appreciated.
I thought her posts were vile and nasty, twisted.
Which parts of her posts to you find most useful, insightful, accurate, respectful to the owner and to the site that this thread is about?
I really don't know how that = death threat but I guess if people don't take their meds they imagine things. He should be proud. He leads threads for a show that panders to blacks and gays, and another show that panders to blacks and gays.
Ya gotta read his posts when he sarcastically attacks people and I have to repeat he is Joy Behar + Rachel Maddow trapped in a boy's body.
He can dish it out but can't take it.
He's like the brat on the playground who kicks you in the leg, you push him and he goes crying to the teacher....
I would love to see pictures of his harem I bet they are all Janet Reno look a likes.
I asked that same question and received no response.
I was very interested in Perry when he first announced. It was his "heartless" comment that turned me off. In spite of that I never hated him or thought he was stupid, but for me personally he lost all momentum with that comment. Even if it was coming from a well-intentioned place, it felt like a slap in the face. Hopefully he can come back and improve all facets of his performance; I think he would make any future race more interesting.

I will tell you what. I will refrain from telling you what you should say, and how about returning the courtesy. If you have facts present them, I will give them a look see.
I would imagine that thousands of such were corrupted across the nation.
The oligarchy works hard at all levels to make sure their will wins regardless.
I have to go. Night Quix.
The number of conservatives on FR
who can evidently
dish it out most harshly, ruthlessly, relentlessly, irrationally, unwarrantedly, viciously
and not take a feather of a negative response in return
is shockingly astounding.
Particularly . . . well . . . I've said plenty about that.
I guess moonshine gives you courage!!! But too much moonshine and you are out like a light!!!
Wish we could give virtual breathalyzers. The one stalker would blow a .2 by noon the other one may break the world record as not one of his rants made any sense. I've taken multiple psychology classes and studied various cases of mental cases, and the guy who posted the grave picture, he is an outlier I don't think Freud or Jung could figure this one out. Maybe Betty Ford could.
Nothing but facts, about both Romney and Reagan.
Don't do like the Reagan hating Romney and try to destroy Reagan while promoting Romney.
I'm showered and allergy medicated . . . and running out of gas so I should hit the hay as well.
Blessings . . .
I do hope, all,
that the candor on this thread is learned from vs attacked.
People who are hurt can say hurtful things in response.
Leadership notices the hurt and seeks to remove the unnecessary causes of such hurts.
Mob mentalities justify the hurts, rationalize the hurts and pile more hurts on.
Blessings to all of good heart in behalf of God and country and FR.
It just proves Palin can get things wrong. Hell Rush isn't perfect. I have yet to me the one perfect person. Getting closer every day though.
Wellll take care, Dear Heart.
Night night.
In running my store I have to deal with volatile customers from time to time. Meaning I have to have a pair and have a spine something jonnyboy lacks. He unleashes his girls on me and cries to the mods like a 4 year old who dropped his popsicle.
See I own a business unlike grifters who milk the system. I deal with scum bags whether they are sales people or ghetto thugs trying to con me for money. You gotta have balls and stand up. Yeah, I'm vocal, yeah people who are complete cowards don't like that but that's life! Unless you have a sexual identity issue, then that's for some psychiatrist to deal with, screaming to mods and making slanderous charges of death threats won't solve a sexual identity crisis. Maybe he should go see Rent or watch Glee. I dunno. Obviously, American Idol and X-Factor hasn't made him happy yet so he resorts to his little insults and at the first sign of a response, WAAAAAAAAAA Mr. Moderator, Dengar01 said I'm a poopy head!!! That's a death threat :(
Backtracking? Not on your life. You kept using the word scam. I didn't. :)
Also, I never said the owner is committing fraud. I said the website is a fraud if it needs $376,000 a year to operate. As an example, I gave information from Dell's website. Gave the link. Anyone can go there and see for themselves. So where are the servers? As I demonstrated, enterprise-class servers can be purchased very cheaply. I could go further, as others before me already have, and point out website costs these days. But it isn't necessary. Let's just keep focusing on those servers. Where are they?
I mentioned FR being an LLC for a reason. Although I don't know what the laws are regarding disclosure when such large sums are being solicited from the public, one would think that the last thing y'all would want to fight against is accounting and transparency. But that's exactly what you're doing. Why?
What's even worse is that you treat the very public that FR is soliciting money from lower than dirt. Why is that? Even so, I have to assume Mr. Robinson has good legal and CPA-type advice, so assume he's operating lawfully. But being open and behaving decently to the people who are paying the bills is not happening.
By the way, if you have a shred of intellectual curiosity, check this out. You can find plenty more such information by doing a Google search on "how much does it cost to run a website."
God love you, Quix - because I sure do!
First a little background...I'm a relatively new guy here, I think I've been posting from time to time for a year or two, certainly not as long as most of you. A few months ago I posted something along the lines of "if Romney is the guy, I'll vote for him, dont like him but he's not Obama"...or something to that effect, dont recall the exact words, but generally the ABO thing. Jim let me know he didn't like it (very graciously, no hard feelings to him at all), and I decided just to back off from posts about the presidential race for a while. I've posted a few times since, but mostly just lurked and read.
So now, Romney for all intents and purposes has the nomination, and this place is getting torn apart, by two sides who both say they either cant or must vote for Romney. Both sides get more inflamed, and it goes on and on.
So my question is this: Why not just stop allowing threads/discussion about the presidential race for this election cycle? OK, you're saying, thats stupid. Just consider this for a second:
1. The official position of the website, as I understand it, is now that neither of the two candidates who have a real chance to win may be supported. No one would support Obama for sure, and we are not supposed to support Romney on FR.
2. Therefore, any discussion of the race in keeping with the guidelines of the site, would be to say negative things about either candidate. That is, you can freely bash Obama or Romney, but dont praise either. You can say FUMR or FUBO, but dont say vote for either.
So, unless we just need a daily thread for people to come in and vent and say FU to each and hear someone else say "right on", I really dont see any benefit to such threads. Post the official position of FR on the front page, as Jim has done in the past, and save the threads for discussion of issues, local races, news events and such. It just seems like since everyone has their mind made up already, and the only acceptable position to proselytize is that of voting for NEITHER candidate, it would just save a lot of anger and heartache to say that and stop having running discussions were one group tries to see how close they can get to the "zot line" without getting fried, and the other group questions the conservative credentials of the first group.
FR is a great website, I've enjoyed it a lot since I first started reading and posting. It just seems like an awful lot of time and energy is wasted on a circular argument that is simply pissing everyone off. Maybe I'm wrong, I've been married for 13 years, so I clearly understand that I am often wrong, but thats how I see it.
A Romney vote shows the gop-e they have nothing to worry about, and have no reason to change what they are doing. We will never get them out, and they will never lose control of the party when they know we'll just keep voting for whichever one they put up.
Haha, you made me laugh.
If you don't like the way we operate FR, just leave. Sheesh.
I think that a lot of posts on this thread tonight have been a long time coming. I know they have been for me. Your post about choking kittens was particularly disturbing to me - like you were projecting your own warped thoughts.
Now you're trying to deflect it to Wolfstar - but your post is there for everyone to see. Creepy stuff.
I have already shown you that word "if" was NOT in your reply 1165.
Take responsibility for your words for once, will you?
I used the word "scam" because you used the word "fraud", and I would never use the word "fraud" in talking about Jim Robinson.
If you wanted an accounting, all you ever had to do was ask Jim.
You have gone from projection to misdirection.
There was no justification to use the word "fraud", especially when you have been here or over 12 years.
As I said before, you have a personal issue with the owner, and you need to take it up with him.
But to call this site a fraud,and to insinuate the solicitation of money is fraudulent because you think the money is not being spent wisely because you are some kind of expert in the field of computing, was beyond the pale.
In spite of you being here 12 years, you did not even have the decency to ping the owner of the site in your post 1165.
You can tap dance all night, but I continue to ask you, and will for the fifth time, why are you here?
Sorry, I've posted thousands of times that we do not support abortionists on FR. If that's what you wish to do, you might as well go find a new home on the net. You're not going to do it here. FR is and will remain a pro-life conservative site despite the GOP RINOS.
There is no freeper named Wolfstar, but I can tell you that he would think that you have tried to totally reverse reality.
Well, I could have picked one side or the other out of about a half dozen or so and banned all others. Thought it was just best to allow them to fight it out.
Uh, I'm not going to support an abortionist liberal progressive even if he has a "R" beside his name. The GOP-e are a bunch of dumb asses for pushing this leftist democrat on us.
Something a lot of peeps are missing is the bigger picture and what's REALLY going on here...
It's FAR bigger than this election, than this website, than this country.
Far. Bigger.
(Jim? This herding cats thing.... I couldn't do it. You have far more patience than I do.)
Well, you know I used to tell people who said things like this not to send us money that they need for other things and that FR is doing fine. Well, after a couple of them told me they were hurt by my comments and really wanted to support our conservative causes and were proud to do so, I quit objecting. We greatly appreciate all contributions no matter how large or how small and are proud to have as many pro-life conservative freepers participating on FR whether they can donate or not. A tiny fraction of our readership supports the entire shooting match.
By the way, speaking of donations, this just in:
$20.00 from Oregon
$10.00 from Kansas
$30.00 monthly from California (renewal and increase)
$50.00 from Florida
$10.00 from Tennessee
Thank you all very much!!
We are FR!! Unabashedly pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-limited government, pro-traditional American conservative and unashamed and unafraid to be so!!
Needs repeating...
Well, you can't blame the moderators. I instructed them to lay low, that I expected FR to be a bloody battleground for this primary season and that we would just have to let it play out. And play out it did. I did take out a few of the nastier ones, but we're all supposed to be conservative adults here and for the most part we are. We shouldn't need a nanny to tell us how to behave in public.
Is that a shameless plug? :D RedMDer posted a FReepathon ad I was tempted to ad him to the Whale Wars Ping list!!! The more the merrier.
Proof that we have threads without this type of nonsense. onyx you do gotta check out the thread you will laugh hysterically it was hippies vs. Al Qaeda on Whale Wars and I'm not even joking.
The Hippies thought it would be smart to fight Libyan fisherman when Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood were taking over Libya. They didn't realize that the Arabs fight back unlike the Japanese whalers. If you have On Demand you gotta watch this you will never laugh more in your entire life!
The donors are donors not owners. We don't sell shares in the company. That would be a violation of securities law. That's not the way the founding fathers set it up, it's just another way the Democrat tyrants (aided and abetted by the Republican tyrants) have of attempting to control us and deprive us of our God given rights to self-governance and the pursuit of Happiness (economic freedom). Look it up.
Ditto!!! Mods have been very helpful. I need to personally thank the Religion_Moderator who helped me figure out how to block the religion posts that seem to be like a flame fest.
And one of the Mods today assisted me with a question so yeah I am not going to complain about the mods, they've been very helpful to me. So kudos to them for all the help :)
But as I told Quix, too many people think they are legal experts because they watch Judge Judy!!!
I think some of these yahoos should talk with their attorneys and CPAs before shooting their mouths off about stuff they obviously know nothing about. Same goes for operating a large site like FR (Traffic Rank in US: Number 1,162 out of millions of sites according to Alexa today) with over 200,000 unique users and a million page views per day and a server/disk farm capable of handling and storing millions of transactions per year from millions of users. I've been involved in the computer business since 1972 and in business for myself since 1988. I know just enough about this stuff to really get myself into some fine messes. Just too damn dumb and stubborn to realize that we can't do what we're attempting to do on FR and have been doing it since 1996—with no capital and no "professionals" involved.
We are the resistance!!
You've answered your own questions.....It Is Jim's table...and it is his "Party" we as 'conservatives' are invited to..... That does not give others a right to bash the host or complain about his decisions as we know he is thoughtful enough to ask our "opinions". Nor should Freepers bash those he relys on to make FR work.
Though you've said you understand Jim's position I can't agree that you do, otherwise you would not be in the position you have found yourself of questioning the pupose of FR.
As to being "on the team"....if you mean the Gop...they're no longer my team...they took the ball and ran it for the opposing team, and continue to do so. It's really that simple.
Further,... when we keep electing the "lessor of two evils" we continue to keep marching more and more into perpetual debt.. and erosion of our rights... until this country looks more like Socialist Europe than the USA.....Does that sound like a working solution?...Did not our founders escape that very thing to form our nation independant and free?.... They refused to "Consent"...
.....When the Founding Fathers spoke of government... 'By Consent' of the governed,.... they knew exactly what government was like when it was Not conducted 'by consent' of the governed...... The latter was the government the colonists were subjected to:
......innumerable measures, including taxes, were passed by the British Parliament,.... and the colonists had no input,.... no representatives to express their dissent,..... and no opportunity to do anything except obey the laws imposed upon them.
"Consent Of The Governed"... was a concept applied to the nation as a whole, to the people in their plurality..... It is the nation that is the source of authority acting through the government, and it is the nation's 'Consent' that makes government legitimate.
How many times do we continue to "Consent" to the very thing we oppose? ...When is enough enough?...Just exactly when will this nations people stop the madness in an election system rigged years before we are permitted a vote which counts for nothing at all?
Half the nations states were purposely excluded, and thousands of voters in this Primary...again!... The same will occur in the General. I will not "Consent" any longer to this corruption .....our vote is our Consent... and that has 'value' for some more than others.
Have the costs of FR ever been posted? It is a simple forum web site. How much does it cost to run?
None of these people are small business owners. Let alone something this large. And everyone now a days thinks they are some sort of expert. Yeah tell that to me when you actually run a business!!!
I'm sure the ghoul who tried to get me banned is crying to every mod and person he knows but I said what needed to be said. I started a business, went through hell to get the LLC and I'm successful. I have to deal with thugs non stop. Usually, they are from various marketing firms. That's when I go into my high and mighty mode and tell them I have an MBA and you can probably finish the rest without me resorting to foul language.
Until someone starts a business they have no idea what the hell they are talking about and how much time, money and work goes into it. I'm in IL I bet CA is ten times worse. They don't hand out LLC's like Cracker Jack boxes, you have to go through hell to get one.
Hence why I've always been outspoken, a male FReeper who is only known as "the guy who posts for singing TV shows like Glee" is not going to scare me off Free Republic. I live in Crook County, IL. Cowards like him are nothing compared to the scum running this County... Everyone in this country knows Cook County, so running a business here is like dealing with Tony Soprano.
Not during a Primary....you mentioned FR being "family"...families fight when they are passionate over a matter and that includes politics...they cry and whine and belly ache...together and behind each others back. And sometimes there is no resolution...it's accepted as that. Fr IS a family....that's why this stuff happens.
Now I speak of this having married into a very large family all involved with various businesses in the company. Seven brothers and sisters along with their mates and kids...and the BIg man and his wife...It was like "Dallas"...in fact my father- in -law had a professional sign placed on the homestead..."NorthFork".
I've seen it all...and is basically what I see here on Fr. Especially if there are "intruders" from outside the FR family. In my family we might fight have fought like dog and cats but an 'outsider' would not want to tangle with any member without the full force of the family rallying.
So Quix...it really is a family here...
P.S. BTW...Jim and the moderators remind me of the "Big Man" and His wife.....when the family got out of hand with their bickering...they spoke and it was a done deal. And yes it wasn't always 'fair'..and some would pout, others crawl off and we wouldn't communicate for weeks on end. But sooner or later all came around once again.

text: MFR056 - Slok - Lonely Child (2012 Mix) - My Favorite Robot Records by My Favorite Robot Records published on 2012-06-29T12:23:54Z My Favorite Robot are having a pretty impressive start to the summer season 2012, with a successful showcase party at Sonar, a standout guest slot at the opening of DC10 in Ibiza and a host of releases on the label, including the new album from Jori Hulkkonen. Now Jared, James & Voytek are looking to their next signing in the shape of the a split artist EP featuring two sterling acts, Italy's Slok and Djuma Soundsytem. Slok AKA Alessandro Russo has been a pre-eminent force in electronic music for some time now, releasing a string of outstanding singles on labels such as SAW, Irma, Circle & his own Electronic Petz and remixing for the likes of Get Physical, Kling Klong & of course My Favorite Robot Records. Now he returns with a brand new remake of his 2005 Saw Recordings release 'Lonely Child', deep, atmospheric, rolling house rhythms provide the base for the breathy and ethereal vocals whilst the arrangement builds the intensity with an extended and spacious drop, quality stuff. On the flipside we have Copenhagen based, Norwegian producer Mikkas Skulstad AKA Djuma Soundsystem, who's previously released on the likes of Eskimo, Neurotraxx & Rebirth. Here he offers up 'Come Together', a wonderfully laid back, electro influenced house cut that draws on sparse drum programming, heavily effected vocals and retro synths to create a genuinely original sounding record that is a pure pleasure. Once again My Favorite Robot Records offers up a single that defies genre classification and is sure to please the label's ever expanding fanbase.

Is there a rumor you'd like tracked down? Rory Linnane answers some of the mysteries of life in Brookfield and helps solve everyday problems.
Reader notices signs missing at school zone on Gebhardt
Question: A reader noted that Gebhardt Road has a "school zone" sign for eastbound traffic outside St. John Vianney School, but lacks signage for westbound traffic. She asked: "Is that considered a school zone or not? Not very well-marked for the children."
Response: I asked Public Works Director Tom Grisa about the signage, and he said it was the city's mistake and he will fix it.
Gebhardt Road has two school zones near Calhoun Road, one to the east for Brookfield Central High School, and one to the west for St. John Vianney. Grisa said Brookfield Central has signage for eastbound and westbound traffic, but for some reason St. John Vianney was only ever marked for eastbound traffic.
"You have a very observant reader," Grisa said. "We appreciate someone bringing it to our attention. Normally we're pretty good about putting one in both directions."
Grisa said it would probably take about a week to get the sign into place, which, like the other "school zone" signs, will direct drivers to slow to 15 miles per hour when children are present. The normal speed limit on the road is 35.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced they're bringing back the producers of the 2013 Oscar Awards for next year's show. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron produced a telecast that drew significantly higher ratings than other recent Oscar shows, anchored by host Seth MacFarlane.
The choice was made by outgoing Academy president Hawk Koch, who tells the LA Times, "We believe that continuity is the most important thing. One of the problems we have every year is that you always have a new producer and a new host — there's so much learning." MacFarlane has already said he doesn't want to host the telecast again, but Koch believes the producers returning is a step in the right direction, saying, "It's so much better when you have continuity."
Koch didn't make the decision alone, as he also consulted the Academy's Board of Governors. "It's the president's prerogative to choose the new producers, but I didn't want to do anything without the review committee and the governors agreeing," he says. Luckily, the board loved the idea. The 2013 Academy Awards telecast will air March 2, 2014.

Not bad - one might say, a bit too long than needed, but ok - but thanks for the f'ing spoiler: now I have to kill Lautrec before this asshole could enrage me with killing the innocent girl.
Man how you were able to make me laugh so hard about such a depressing game. You are hilarious sir. Lautrec bit is the best part. What an asshole that guy was!

Hot Cross Buns
Hot cross buns are slightly sweet, spiced rolls that are marked with a cross on top. They're typically served on Good Friday, before Easter, but the origins of this tradition are somewhat murky, as some stories state that the cross-topped buns were around before they became one of the traditions of this particular holiday, made by Greeks and Saxons long before they became a staple ...

Easter Egg Shortbread Cookies
One of the best things about Easter is that there is lots of specialty candy available and most of it is on sale.

I picked up a bag of Reese's Pieces Eggs, which I like for their ... Read More »

Deviled Eggs

Tips for prepping Easter eggs
Dying Easter eggs – perhaps second only to eating lots of Easter chocolate – is one of the most fun parts of the holiday.

Raw eggs can be used, but they're a bit more fragile than hard-boiled eggs and ... Read More »

Chocolate is a staple in any baker's kitchen. Chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, white chocolate – and from the standard baking fare, it is not a big leap to move onto other chocolate candies.

On March 19, 2014, a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued its decision in Tussey v. ABB, Inc., No. 12-2056 (8th Cir. Mar. 19, 2014). The case came to the Eighth Circuit on an appeal of a decision by the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri awarding participants in ABB, Inc.'s 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") $13.4 million in damages related to the Plan's fiduciaries' failure to control the cost of recordkeeping services provided to the Plan and $21.8 million in damages for losses participants suffered as a result of a change in investments options offered under the Plan. In addition, the District Court found the Plan's recordkeeper (Fidelity) liable to Plan participants for $1.7 million of lost float income, and ordered Fidelity and the fiduciaries of the Plan to pay more than $13.4 million in attorney fees and costs. Despite the fact the Eighth Circuit upheld the $13.4 million judgment against the Plan fiduciaries for failure to control recordkeeping costs, many aspects of the Circuit Court's ruling are favorable for plan sponsors – the appellate court recognized that the determinations of plan administrators are owed deference by courts, the $21.8 million judgment against the Plan fiduciaries was vacated, and the judgment against the Plan fiduciaries which was undisturbed was based on facts specific to the case.
First, the Eighth Circuit held when plans grant plan administrators discretion to interpret and construe the terms of the plan, courts must defer to the plan administrator's interpretation or construction of the plan so long as it is reasonable. Thus, the District Court in this case erred when it failed to grant any deference to the ABB Plan's determinations regarding the Plan. In reaching this conclusion, the Eighth Circuit rejected the claim of the Plan participants that courts only owe such deference to benefit claim determinations, and that courts should review other determinations de novo. Instead, the Eighth Circuit joined the Ninth, Seventh, Sixth, Third, and Second Circuits, in holding deference to the determinations of plan administrators is not limited to benefit claims. Having an additional circuit recognize that deference is owed to plan administrators for non-benefit claims should give plan administrators more confidence the judicial system will respect their interpretations of their own plans.
Second, the Eighth Circuit vacated the District Court judgment and $21.8 million award against the Plan fiduciaries stemming from their decision to change the investment options offered under the Plan. In 2000, the fiduciaries of the Plan decided to remove the Vanguard Wellington Fund as an investment option and replace it with Fidelity Freedom Funds. The Plan fiduciaries accommodated those Plan participants with money in the Wellington Fund who had not specified an alternate investment for their balances by mapping funds held in the Wellington Fund to the age appropriate Freedom Funds. Because the District Court opinion cited the fact that "between 2000 and 2008 the Wellington Fund outperformed the Freedom Funds," when finding mapping of the funds breached a duty to the participants, the Plan fiduciaries argued the court's analysis reflected "an improper hindsight bias" and an erroneous substitution of the court's "own de novo . . . view of the ideal Plan investments. . . ."
The Court of Appeals concluded the Plan fiduciaries' "points are well taken" and ruled that the reasonableness of the Plan's investment choices must be determined based on analysis of what the Plan fiduciaries knew at the time the investment options were selected, and not the options' subsequent performance. Furthermore, the District Court failed to afford the Plan administrator's interpretation of the Plan document in regards to investment options the appropriate amount of deference. Because the Eighth Circuit could not determine if the District Court would have decided the Plan fiduciaries breached their duty if it applied the appropriate standard of review, it vacated the judgment on this claim and remanded the claim for further consideration. A reminder to district courts that the prudence of investment decisions made by plan sponsors must be judged based only on the information available at the time of the decision, and not the subsequent performance of the investment, may help reduce the tendency of participants to litigate when investment returns fail to meet expectations.
Third, where the Eighth Circuit allowed the judgment against the Plan fiduciaries to stand, it did so because of the specific facts of the case. The District Court found the Plan fiduciaries violated their duties "when they agreed to pay Fidelity an amount that exceeded market costs for Plan [recordkeeping] services in order to subsidize the [other] corporate services provided to ABB by Fidelity, such as ABB's payroll and recordkeeping for ABB's health and welfare plan and its defined benefit plan" and awarded Plan participants $13.4 million in damages based on this breach. On appeal, the Plan fiduciaries argued the District Court finding on this point was in error because the District Court "'implied that certain business arrangements, such as bundling of investment management and recordkeeping services through a single provider,' were automatically improper." The Eighth Circuit rejected this interpretation of the District Court's decision and instead concluded that the District Court's determination that the Plan fiduciaries breached their duties to the Plan in regards to the recordkeeping fees Fidelity charged was amply supported by the record given that the Plan fiduciaries failed to take any action or make any investigation of the recordkeeping fees after Fidelity informed the Plan fiduciaries it provided other services to ABB for free or at below market cost and an outside consulting firm informed the Plan fiduciaries ABB was overpaying for recordkeeping services performed by Fidelity. The existence of these facts explain the Eighth Circuit's refusal to set aside the judgment against the Plan fiduciaries on this claim, and should also limit the precedential value of this case in situations where plan fiduciaries can show that they have adequately evaluated the recordkeeping fees the plan pays and are not using amounts paid under a plan to subsidize other corporate expenses.
Thus, while the Eighth Circuit did ultimately uphold a $13.4 million judgment against the Plan fiduciaries, several elements of the opinion augur well for plan sponsors and employers. Increasing judicial recognition of the respect that courts should pay a plan administrator's reasonable interpretation of plan provisions and of the proper factors to consider when judging the prudence of investment selection may reduce the number of good faith decisions made by plan fiduciaries which become the subject of participant litigation. In addition, the Tussey case should remind plan sponsors that simply hiring a market leader, such as Fidelity, is not sufficient in itself to discharge fiduciary duties. Fiduciaries must scrutinize the actions of even reputable service providers and investigate information tending to show the plan is being overcharged.

Re: Driving from Setubal to the Algarve
You are looking at at least 2 hours by toll motorway.
If you take the scenic coastal route via Troia, Vila Nova Milfontes, Aljezur, Lagos allow 2 hrs. 30 mins depending on time of year.
In Lisbon there are great things for kids such as the massive walk through Aquarium at Parque de Nações, the Zoo at Sete Rios, Tram Rides, the train ride along the Coast to Cascais, Toys R Us in the Colombo Centre, the kiddies park with rides etc. also in Colombo Centre.
All accessible by Fertagus train and Metro from Setubal station over the 25 Abril bridge and into Lisbon.

Re: Driving from Setubal to the Algarve
In the area of Setúbal you can always take trips to see the dolphins and boat tours along the coast (check for e.g. www.sal.pt or mail them to email@example.com). In Santiago do Cacém there is a nice park for Kids called Badoca Park (it's a safari park with giraffes, zebras, deers, etc). Most animals are free and you can feed them and touch them.
In Lisbon you can't forget to check the Oceanário in the Expo Park (Oriente Subway Station) nearby, in the pavillion of the Knowledge, there are normally temporary expositions about the human body or other science themes. On the other side of the city (Algés) there is other smaller aquarium but also quite nice. And you can always check the zoo that has a small amusement park.
About your trip towards south to the waterpark you can take the scenery trip through the coastal road or the highway. Dependending on the area of the Setúbal District you are in it can take up to 3hours.
Have a nice trip!

I couldn't resist a bit of trolling (Part 2)
Under the bridge was a grumpy old troll who terrorised the local villagers with his nasty, sarcastic tweets and rude comments on their facebook pages. He even told someone on flickr to shut up once. He really was a horrid old beast.
With thanks to KK who patiently sat there clicking the remote control and saying 'it's still not working'
