it was the end of august when i got a call from my grandma telling me that my grandmother had had a stroke and was in the hospital. I went to the hospital but was not allowed to see her because they said i was to young and should remember the good stuff and that seeing her the way she was would make me miss her even more. I wasn't allowed to see her for the two weeks she was in the hospital which i thought was the worst thing ever but the worst part was not knowing she had passed until two weeks later. My great grandma was like my mom she was always there for me and helped me whenever i needed it. She passed away September 6th 2006 a month before my 12th birthday. Ever since she passed away life hasn't been the same. It was as if half my heart was ripped out when i found out what happened. I haven't been the same since. I am never happy and don't want to do anything anymore. All i want to do is get over what happened and be happy again. I miss my old self when she was still alive and here.
Comments for 8 years and im still in denial as to why she had to pass away.

Microsoft Considering Underwater Data Centre Launches
- Microsoft is currently evaluating the long-term prospects of underwater data centres in an attempt to improve operational efficiency and quality of service.
- The company is attempting to maximise the potential benefits derived from the successful implementation of such an operation.
- This newly discovered method of storing data could have massive implications for the value of Microsoft stock.
The research teams at Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are currently formulating a plan called Project Natick, that involves the construction of data centres in the depths of the ocean. Despite the fact that it may appear completely nonsensical to submerge a large cylinder containing electronic components underwater, the testing, that was conducted with a prototype data center appears to suggest that such a project is, in fact, viable, as storing data underwater may eliminate the need for cooling systems.
A prototype data centre recently completed its trial period at a depth level of 30 feet in Central California, after a period of 105 days. The 38,000-pound steel capsule, which measures 8 feet in diameter, was remotely controlled from Microsoft's base in Redmond and is said to have exceeded the company's expectations.
In essence, data centres are dedicated spaces consisting of ICT infrastructures that are responsible for powering the World Wide Web. These infrastructures, more typically known as computer servers, generate significant amounts of heat, which therefore requires additional amounts of energy to keep these systems cool so as to prevent system crashes. Finding a solution to this problem is by no means an easy task, which poses the type of challenge that appeals to the research team at Microsoft, who are widely regarded as experts at crafting up unconventional solutions to some of the world's difficult problems. Ben Cutler, the project manager for Project Natick, stated:
"We take a big whack at big problems, on a short-term basis. We take a look at something from a new angle, a different perspective, with a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom."
The creation of sealed underwater vessels was instigated by the ever-increasing need for cloud computing, which in itself involves groups of networked computers performing various tasks, such as storing, processing and/or distributing huge amounts of information. The performance of the aforementioned tasks requires huge amounts of power gathered from renewable energy sources, in the same way as windmills utilise energy from the wind.
In the case of underwater data centers, the waves or tidal power would be used as a source of renewable energy. As more organisations begin to embrace cloud computing, the need for systems that are capable of accommodating information storage, processing and distribution increase exponentially, resulting in greater global demand. The greater the proximity of data centers to living populations, the smaller the likelihood of "latency", a term used to describe a time interval (delay) between the input into a system and the desired outcome. This translates into faster web browsing, downloads and games for the population.
The trial was conducted not only to investigate the possibility of eliminating the need for cooling but also to test whether there are any potential environmental benefits to be gained. According to Microsoft, if these data centres could be colocated with renewable energy sources that are situated offshore, then there is the possibility of producing zero emissions.
Despite the potential advantages that these underwater data centres may provide, there are some concerns and, in particular, the impact of a large data center cluster on the marine ecosystem as a whole. These supercomputers generate large amounts of heat which could pose a serious threat to marine life. Cool underwater conditions are critical for marine life, as increased temperatures spur an increase in zooplankton (microscopic animals that graze on plants) and bacteria. This tilts the underwater food chain, translating into less food for the other grazers such as fish and seahorses, on which many livelihoods depend.
On the other hand, however, the introduction of data centres and its emerging influence on the process of cloud computing is not something to be ignored. Microsoft is looking to take advantage of this as consumer demand for cloud services rise. Therefore, in that regard, Microsoft stock price looks set for positive growth. The company reported an encouraging second-quarter earnings report this year, with revenues of $25.69 billion, which surpassed the analyst estimate of $25.26 billion. Additionally, the EPS stood at 0.78, which was also greater than the analyst's prediction of $0.71 per share.
Despite a very brief period of share-price decline in the month of August 2015, shareholders can generally be pleased due to the overall gradual increase from March of last year until present. Microsoft stock is currently trading at $50.16.
Source: Microsoft Stock Price Data by amigobulls.com
Ultimately, this out-of-the-box method for storing data could provide an upsurge in the value of Microsoft stock. The earnings stream could be set to increase due to the advent of this technology amplified by increased cloud computing. This makes the Microsoft stock an increased priority for investors and going by the latest earnings reports, shareholders could be set for major gains.

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY (July 2008)
Well! the true "Big Red Machine":p is back and better than ever.This sequel looks awesome, especially since the one directing the movie is Guillermo Del Toro who did "Pan's Labyrinth":cool:.Take a look:
Why is summer so far away, the only season that really matters? What ever the critique said about the prequel, I enjoyed Hellboy, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one as well.
I was not impressed with Hellboy, but I did love Pan's Labyrinth. As much as I loved Pan's Labyrinth, I can't really use the fact that Hellboy II being directed by Guillermo Del Toro will help it out. The trailer looks interesting, but then so did the trailer for Narnia and we all know how that turned out. Will try to keep my mind open though, but I won't watch the movie until it comes out on DVD.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
I have seen the preveiw for it a couple times, I really want to see it. It looks like it's gonna be cool. It looks like it might be better then the first Hellboy movie.
It's coming out this week so after hearing my cousin blah blah blah about it, i'll go see it with them. Not like I got anything this weekend to do ^^
Saw it last night.... I thought it was an entertainingly funny good adventure of a "B" film. And I mean that as a compliment. The Hellboy motif of comedy amidst the Cthulhu-ism is retained pretty nicely. Some of the sub-plots are kind of soap-opera-like but I think that's intentional ... in some way it was like watching an action sci-fi anime with romantic twists.
Some very nice stunt work - I understand the character Mr. Goss plays worked for seven months with swords and spears (and wire) to get that skill level of choreography.
Probably the worst thing I could say is that to someone steeped in this sort of stuff - the plot will be predictable and there's a fair amount of MiB smirking in the first part.
And O gods, I *love* the tooth fairies...
Spoiler for not really plot points but just my opinion on certain characters:
I overally enjoyed this one myself, I'd say one of the best summer movie so far. And i've watched over 8 of them already. That's a high number for me ^^
I'm not a fan of Guillermo Del Toro's work. I was not a fan of this movie, even though I am a giant Hellboy fan. I thought the movie's intention was more to show us cool monsters than tell a story.
I watched this earlier today on bluray -- easily the best comic book/graphic novel adaption in the last 10 years or so. Forget all the mumble jumble about 'The Dark Knight' or 'Iron Man', this is how it's done.
The ghost guy really stole the show on certain parts XD
Hellboy is an interesting film series (it's a stretch to call two films a series), and I wouldn't mind others. When del Toro dropped out of The Hobbit he alluded to Hellboy 3 being one of his next two features, but so far nothing has come fo that...
Yeah, that would be Krauss then, lol. I thought he was a welcomed addition and provided some nice humorous moments with Hellboy. Usually characters like that can tend to be a bore -- or worse, an annoyance, but he served his purpose. I think my favorite aspect of 'Hellboy II' is how even Prince Nuada is likeable. The funny thing is, he doesn't get much screen time as his sister or the film's protagonists, but there's so much personality to him that you kinda forget that. It's a hard thing to do to make a conveying antagonist when his presence is limited and you narrow his ideas down to something conventional. But with Del Toro being the talented director that he is, he knows how to maximize even the smallest details.
Anyway, Del Toro won't be working on a 'Hellboy III' any time soon. He's currently prepping 'Pacific Rim' -- a mecha VS. kaiju film. It begins shooting this November and will get its theatrical release in July 2013.

text: UPS (NYSE:UPS) today released its annual Sustainability Report announcing that while the total number of packages shipped in 2012 increased, the company reduced its total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Environmental achievements included ground and air fuel savings, increased investments in alternative fuel vehicles, and retooled routes that shaved 12.1 million miles from ground deliveries. "UPS also set a new alternative fuel goal," said David Abney, UPS Chief Operating Officer. "By 2017, the company will reach one billion miles driven by alternative fuel/advanced technology vehicles – more than double the previous 400 million mile goal." For the second year in a row, UPS earned superior credentials for reporting transparency: A Sustainability Report that fulfills the Global Reporting Initiative's requirements for an A+ level as well as third-party assurance of its report and greenhouse gas data from Deloitte & Touche LLP. Less than 20% of all GRI Sustainability Reports are A+. "Our industry-leading accomplishments showcase innovative technology and global operational efficiency gains as well as world-class credentials for rock-solid data," said Scott Wicker, UPS Chief Sustainability Officer. "The report's theme, More of What Matters, sharpens UPS's focus on how to make the most measurable positive impact through sustainability business practices and logistics expertise." Highlights of the 2012 report include: • Reduction in the absolute amount of global greenhouse gas emissions from operations and purchased energy of 2.1 percent compared to 2011 • Rapid expansion of UPS's dedicated global healthcare infrastructure to more than 6 million square feet (0.557 million m2) • A Global Forestry Initiative to plant more than 1 million trees by the end of 2013 • Humanitarian relief efforts in 35 countries, with related in-kind donations valued at US$2.6 million • Total Charitable Contributions and United Way donations of US$97.5 million, up from 2011 by US$4 million • 1.8 million volunteer hours donated by UPS employees, friends and families, a new record

Shell Coolband Accepts Cybera Wireless Broadband
The system allows any Shell-branded retailer to access the company's payment processing solutions through a wireless network.
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Shell Oil approved Cybera's Wireless Broadband network connectivity solutions for use within the Shell Coolband program, the supplier stated.
The Coolband program provides a set of approved network connectivity options for Shell-branded payment solutions. With this approval, any Shell-branded retailer can access Shell's payment processing solutions through Cybera's managed Wireless Broadband services, according to the company.
"When we considered Cybera's wireless products for the Coolband program we focused on PCI compliance and reliability," Scott Taylor, wholesale technology advisor for Shell, said in a statement. "Our goal is to ensure a fast, secure and consistent payment experience for customers of Shell-branded locations. Our jobbers basically want fast deployment of a dependable broadband solution and that's exactly what Cybera has delivered."

}::{*}::{ My mother has returned to her first love: God. She is resting in her healing that she longed for. She is walking in her healing and enjoying it with her mother and father. If you could just see her now, is what she is telling us all. }::{*}::{
My mom was born 8.5.58, she was 51. My mother was a school teacher for many years, she loved teaching. Her students loved her dearly. She loved going to church and fellowshipping with other believers. My mom was a single African American mother, she was blessed with a beautiful and intelligent daughter.
}::{*}::{My mom battled cancer for many years, she under went a number major and minor surgeries. She knew that what was happening in her body was not something that just happened. She wanted others to know that the battle was with the Lord; even though the battle was in her body, it all belonged to him and him alone.}::{*}::{
My mom claimed her healing weeks before she went into the hospital. I believe once she sincerely claimed her healing she then started to heal. And her true healing came the night of 10.11.09. I was there resting one hand over her heart and my other hand over my heart. After that motion was done, I felt her heart stop.
}::{*}::{I believe before all this happened her and God had a conversation. He told her, "You can spread your wings and soar into the heavens now." And that is when she took flight high into the sky saying, "I wish you could see me now." }::{*}::{
As I type this I truly believe someone else will be healed and blessed by this story. I pray peace, healing, blessings, prosperity and more to every reader and believer. I pray that you and God start or continue your relationship together; it is a beautiful feeling. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for Him in my life.
May God bless and comfort you daily.

In an interview with ''22 Yards'' on Zee Sports, Leipus, who has been working with the batting maestro said, ''''He actually recovered very, very well considering what he had done to the shoulder. It's hard to give an exact date but I think he'll be ready for the Sri Lankan series.'' India, hosts Sri Lanka and South Africa will play a tri-series in August.
''The current status is that he has a few more weeks to go before he is hundred per cent fit and when we say hundred per cent we are talking about batting, fielding, throwing,'' Leipus said.
On the injury, he said, ''We are not too sure how the injury started. We think there was a bit of wear and tear as well as an acute injury. I wasn't around, John Gloster was seeing him at the time. The surgery went fine, structurally everything was a success.
We literally just ran out of time to get him fit for the West Indies.
''He was batting in the nets, he was feeling good but the strength in the shoulder just wasn't quite there,'' he added.
Asked why Tendulkar skipped the Mumbai fitness test before the Indian team was to be announced for the Test series against the West Indies, Leipus said, ''The whole process of the fitness test is to establish the person's readiness to play and whether he can absorb the stress of international sport. I had observed him for about a week and a half and knew what he couldn't tolerate both on the park and in the gym. It would have been a pointless exercise to go through a fitness test.'' He also rubbished claims that playing with heavy bat was the sole reason behind Tendulkar developing a tennis elbow.
''I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what goes wrong with a sportsman. I think we have a lot of media attention given to this player. But we must not forget that this person is a human being. So if we put all the factors together, his age, the amount of cricket he has played and the amount of cricket that is played these days, there is bound to be some wear and tear.'' ''That was a nightmare for Sachin and me obviously. The injury started purely because of him playing too much cricket in a short period of time. He practices very intensely, so he was batting in the nets for an hour, hour and a half before we left for a series to be played in Holland. That's when he felt some stiffness.
''His muscles were quite fatigued and overworked and he did not allow them enough recovery. Then during practice in Holland one particular delivery just put him across that threshold. So that's when it started and nothing really helped it after that,'' he added.
On a lighter vein, Leipus identified Vinod Kambli and Harbhajan Singh as the pranksters in the dresssing room.
''I think that the biggest joker was Vinod Kambli. During the time he was with the team he was certainly up there and then Harbhajan Singh. Bhajji, I've been at the receiving end of a couple of his jokes over the years.
''I remember this one time he mimicked the managers voice, he called my room and said Andrew tomorrow morning we have a photo shoot. So I had to wear my best suit and tie, you know the travel kit and when I came down to the bus in the morning everyone was dressed up in tracksuits and shorts and I'm in the full gear,'' he reminisced.

Hazardous Lie replied to Hazardous Lie's topic in Golf Talkunfortunately i'm one of those workaholics who can't pull themselves away from work before the sun goes down. I would cut golf course lawns for a living if the money was there. It'd be so peaceful i think.
Hazardous Lie posted a topic in Golf TalkCall it a mid-life crisis if you wish, but I'm looking for a career change and would LOVE to be in the golf industry. The downside is I'm a hacker, and have no formal experience in it. I'm a project manager in the oil and gas industry for the past 2 years, and an officer / helicopter pilot in AF for 12 years before that. What do you think? Am I just day dreaming?!
Hazardous Lie replied to Hazardous Lie's topic in Golf Talk@dzclarkcpa That's funny about your son. I did the same to my dad growing up. He even bought me a complete set of my choice as a promotion gift when I made captain in the air force. I didn't really catch the bug for another 5 years... I'm now in Texas and my parents are in Maryland so I haven't played with him in years!! Sad the things we do to our parents. @Fromthecoast Any lessons for your son?
Hazardous Lie posted a topic in Golf TalkHi everyone, I'm a "new" dad with an 18 month old son, and I can't wait to get my boy out on the course. When did you start your kid(s) up? If you could do it again, would you start sooner or wait longer? I've heard 3 years as a common age. Thanks in advance. Seung

Tehran (AFP) April 17, 2012
Iran has called on the West to look to lifting its sanctions if it wants to quickly resolve the showdown over Tehran's disputed nuclear activities, a prospect swiftly ruled out by Washington.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi outlined his country's message in an interview with the news agency ISNA on Monday, following milestone talks at the weekend in Istanbul between Iran and world powers.
Those talks, described by both sides as an encouraging revival of a process that had been moribund for 15 months, are now due to be developed in another, more substantive round on May 23 in Baghdad.
"If the West wants to build trust, it should begin with sanctions, because it can help speed up the talks reaching a solution," Salehi was quoted as saying.
"If goodwill (from the West) is present... we are ready to rapidly and easily, and even in the Baghdad meeting, resolve all issues" regarding Iran's nuclear programme, he said.
The foreign minister appeared to suggest that the level of enrichment could be up for discussion.
However US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during a trip to Brazil Monday, insisted that the "burden of action" is with Iran to prove it is serious in nuclear talks, dismissing Tehran's appeals for world powers to ease sanctions first.
"The burden of action falls on the Iranians to demonstrate their seriousness and we're going to keep the sanctions in place and the pressure on Iran" as Tehran prepares for the talks in Baghdad next month, Clinton said in Brasilia.
"And we'll respond accordingly," she added following the talks at the weekend in Istanbul between Iran on one hand and the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany on the other.
While Iran's negotiators will take the position in Baghdad that producing 20 percent enriched uranium "is our right," foreign minister Salehi said, if the world powers "guarantee they will provide us with fuel of various purities, it will change the perspective."
Iran currently enriches uranium to 3.5 percent and to 20 percent. The former it says is to power its Bushehr nuclear electricity plant and the latter it says is to generate medical isotopes in its Tehran research reactor.
Uranium has to be enriched to 90 percent or above for use in an atomic bomb.
Salehi's comments could add impetus to the Baghdad round of talks, especially as the West has so far made no mention of previous demands that Iran halt all uranium enrichment -- a demand also stated in UN Security Council resolutions.
The international sanctions, sharply ramped up this year, target Iran's all-important oil export sector and are seen by many Western capitals as a key reason why Tehran was willing to resume its negotiations with the so-called P5+1 group comprising the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany.
By the beginning of July, the United States and the European Union are due to fully implement economic sanctions they have already started -- unless some sort of breakthrough is made in the talks.
Russia's foreign ministry, however, said in a statement Monday that Moscow does not back increasing "sanction pressure" on Tehran.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov "confirmed the unacceptability of the prospect of Tehran obtaining nuclear weapon potential", in a meeting with visiting Israeli National Security Council director Yaakov Amidror, it said.
But he slammed as "counterproductive and dangerous any attempts to use reports of Iran's nuclear technology progress to artificially whip up tensions around Iran and create an excuse for further build-up of sanction pressure."
The United States and many of its EU allies believe that Iran has been working towards developing a nuclear weapons capability -- a suspicion given weight by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency.
But Iran insists that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, and its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has called the possession of atomic weapons "a great sin."

Question: I am sending photos of a 2-inch by 1 1/2 -inch gold pin with two aquamarine-color stones. It is marked "Made in Czechoslovakia" inside a small oval on its back. I would like information about the piece including its age and value. - A.E., Barnegat
Answer: Your buckle-shape brooch, featuring a matched pair of oblong faceted aquamarine crystals in a geometrical gilded brass setting enhanced with intricate, curvilinear wirework and beading, is a fine example of quality Czech costume jewelry produced from 1918 through the mid-1930s The pin's transitional style, a combination of delicate Edwardian era filigree with solid lines of emerging Art Deco design and sparkling, simply cut stones, typifies Czech jewelry prized by today's collectors.
An outgrowth of the successful glass industry enjoyed by Austrian and Hungarian factories prior to World War I, Czech jewelry featuring molded art glass decoration, dazzling glass beads, stunning crystal stones and dramatic settings captivated fashionable women throughout the world.
Because most Czech necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings and pins usually are not signed, marked examples command premium prices. Unsigned buckle brooches currently sell for $40 to $60, while a signed example can bring $80 to $100, based on condition, setting and stones.
Question: The shallow, oval, 12-inch wide bowl I bought at a house sale is decorated with a printed blue garden scene and floral border. A 6-inch wide crescent shape section of the bowl's front rim is missing and "Victoria Ware Ironstone" is printed under a large, very blurred coat of arms on the bowl's back. Can you tell me anything about this item? - J.P., Malaga
Answer: You described what appears to be an ironstone shaving bowl, also known as a barber's bowl or barber's basin. Such bowls, shaving accessories used by barbers and gentlemen's valets during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, were made with a missing rim section that enabled the bowl to be positioned under a man's chin while he was being shaved.
Specialist collectors search for antique painted tin shaving bowls as well as examples associated with particular ceramic arts such as Faience - tin glazed earthenware originally made in Faenza, Italy, and later produced in France, England, Germany and Scandinavia - as well as redware with Sgraffito ornamentation achieved by incising a design on the top layer of a clay surface, thus revealing the pattern on an underlying layer of a different color.
Many authentic antique shaving bowls presently sell for $60 to $475, and one redware Sgraffito has fetched $2,000 at auction. However, your bowl's intentionally blurred mark and bogus maker's name indicates it is one of many known reproductions made and sold worldwide during the 1990s. Originally bearing a "Made in China" paper label that was removed by importers and sellers who offered the bowls at shops, shows, flea markets and online for as much as $150, the fakes rarely bring more than $25 when mint.

Vía Reuters: Oddly Enough http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/oddlyEnoughNews/~3/7hWDGDoNu2k/story01.htm
I don't know about immoral, but it does look like a pretty embarrassing commercial.
Perhaps feelings (of hunger) are misinterpreted (as indignation) and the fasting person attempts to fix the wrong problem.

It was in a college volleyball class that this love story began. Trae was the one to grab Lauren's hand to help her to her feet after taking a fall and shortly after she would fall yet again, this time in love with him. Trae & Lauren are an incredible couple. They have so much in common but what stands out to me the most is their shared faith in God. Many couples their age aren't even thinking about marriage but these two know exactly what they want and who they want to be with. It is so refreshing to see a young couple pursuing their faith and living it out for all to see. I have no doubt that Trae & Lauren will accomplish amazing things as husband and wife. I am counting the days until their Carmel, CA wedding in July!
L & T~ I had so much fun with you two this week! Enjoy these next couple of months leading up to your big day! XO Brittany

The story of the game last night has to be the stellar play of Jeff Foster in the first half and his disappearance in the second half. Foster had 12 points and 10 boards in the first 15 minutes of the game and finished the first half with 12 boards and had a season high 19 points while shooting 8-8 from the field. Toronto headed into the half down by seven and the game looked like it was over because the Raptors were getting worked over like a cheap mule. Indy was able to stretch their lead to 10 points at the midway mark of the third quarter and it looked like yet another loss for Toronto.
I can't put my finger on one specific thing that happened to spark our second half rally, rather it was a culmination of big plays by the entire team. From making the extra pass, diving for loose balls to locking down Foster (he was held scoreless in the second half) the team was able to steal a home win Sunday evening. The change on the defensive end in the second half was huge as Toronto allowed Indy to score 51 points in the first half but limited them to 38 points in the second half (and just 14 in t he fourth quarter).
"The mistakes in the first half is we weren't talking," Sam Mitchell told the media scrum following the game. "We were supposed to be switching and guys weren't communicating. Once we cleaned that up at halftime we took away all of those easy baskets that they got and we forced them to take jump shots and we know (Peja) Stojakovic and (Stephen) Jackson would take the majority of the shots."
Following the game Morris Peterson told the media that, "all year we have been have close games and we haven't been able to pull them out. Tonight we showed the extra effort, we did the little things like diving for loose balls and that was the game. I gotta take my hat off to Chris Bosh because he did a lot of growing up tonight."
Chris Bosh had yet another monster game as he was able to take charge of the game tonight on both ends of the floor. He made a big steal with less than a minute to go in the game, he threw down a thunderous dunk in the fourth quarter. Bosh finished the game with 24 points, 8 boards and 2 steals.
Peterson was continued to sing the praises of Bosh and told Norma Wick that, "I call Chris the 'Man Child' because he can do so many great things. The first half he wasn't as aggressive but in the second half he showed why he is an All-Star. If you look at the defensive stops he made, key blocks and big shots he made down the stretch. Like I said, he played like an All-Star and one of the leaders of our team."
Welcome back Joey Graham! The rookie has looked lost on the court lately but tonight Graham responded by going 4-8 from the field while chipping in 8 points and 6 boards in limited minutes off the bench. Graham made some great moves in the paint and seemed to be able to score at will during one strech in the fourth quarter. It was great to see Graham smiling and joking with members of the media in the locker room following the game- it looks like the stress from his current slump has lifted.
"I thought Joey played well on both ends tonight," Mitchell gushed following the game. "He was on the floor for loose balls. Joey game up with some big rebounds and he boxed guys off the glass. It was good to see him have a good game."
Another rookie that is starting to step things up is Charlie Villanueva. He's struggled with his shot over the past week but tonight he stepped up his game on the defensive end and had a big block to seal the victory.
"When Mike (James) hit that big shot the guys on the bench knew that we've been there before against teams like Cleveland and we needed one more stop," Villanueva told reporters following the game. "I was just so determined to get that last stop whether it be a rebound or block shot. The block was there and I just made a big play."
When a reporter asked if it's better to hit a big shot or make a defensive stop, a stunned VIllanueva told a reporter between chuckles that, "that was the turnaround in the game! That was the play that won the game and it was definitely huge. I was struggling on the offensive end and that big defensive play made up for the offense. This League is about defense and that was a big play. Six second left, block shot and we won the game because of that."
James was ice cold from the field in the first half but sealed the win with a clutch three point 8.5 second left in the game. Following the game James told the reporters surrounding his locker, "when I saw the clock running down I saw Chris Bosh had Anthony Johnson on him and I had Jeff Foster on me and I was basically like take my pick. I would have went either way but when I looked at the shot clock there was maybe six second on the clock so I said I gotta step up and take this shot. I just hoped this was the shot that I take and make everyday in practice. I am just thankful that the shot went down."
There's a lot of Raptors fans that feel we shouldn't re-sign James because of his age and shoot first tendency but this Raptors fans feels he's the teams second best player and is an asset that we can't afford to lose.

Bees delay US Airways Express flight to Indianapolis
A swarm of bees is keeping a US Airways Express flight at the gate at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
US Airways spokesman Davien Anderson said Flight 2690 to Indianapolis had boarded Wednesday afternoon and was ready for departure. Anderson said when the gate agent approached the tug, which pushes the airplane back from the gate, the agent noticed the bees.
The CRJ900 jet was scheduled to depart at 1:15 p.m.
Anderson said a beekeeper was summoned to the tug to remove the bees. The passengers remained on the aircraft.

Their dining room looked like something from a college dorm from the 60s. It was not very appealing. The people...

Your answer is one click away!
In the MATLAB if:
x = rand(a,b,c);
What does the third input to
c, mean?
a: numbers of rows
b: numbers of columns
c: ??
In MATLAB, matrices are not limited to 2 dimensions (i.e. only rows and columns), but can have many higher dimensions.
The third input to the
rand function is just telling
rand the size of the third dimension that you want. By default it is
1, but in your case it will instead be
In general, the nth input to
rand will be the size of the nth dimension of the matrix of random numbers it produces.
See the docs:
X = rand(sz1,...,szN)returns an sz1-by-...-by-szN array of random numbers where sz1,...,szN indicate the size of each dimension. For example, rand(3,4) returns a 3-by-4 matrix.
