BROOKLYN—Johnson gets his shot twice on Tuesday: first, coming off a curl screen at the end of regulation, splitting teammates Wallace and Andray Blatche to swish a catch-and-shoot, game-tying three with 1.3 seconds remaining; second, off a straight up 1-4 flat isolation intended to give Johnson all the room he needs, enough to drop in a tightly contested pullup from the free-throw line. The Nets beat the Bucks in overtime, 113-111.
Those two makes boost Johnson's late-game statistics to staggering levels of efficiency. According to NBA.com/Stats, when the Nets are within three points of their opponent in the final 30 seconds of regulation or overtime, Johnson is now 8-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-4 in the final 10 seconds.

TURNING POINT: Johnson's game-tying 3-pointer, a difficult attempt, gave the Nets a chance at overtime and another Johnson game-winner.
NOTABLE: The Nets had 10 fast break points to just 4 for the Bucks. The Nets are 15-2 when they score more fast break points than their opponent…The Nets bench outscored the Bucks bench 44-15.

What's Up With Shark Sightings
Wednesday - September 24, 2008
| Share Del.icio.us
Todd Murashige searches for words as he recalls watching a shark sweep beneath his surf-board.
"It just seemed so surreal, like it wasn't real," says the Kaneohe father of two.
Murashige was sitting on his surfboard several hundred yards offshore at a break called Crouching Lion - his legs dangling on both sides. Seconds later, a large shark took a massive bite out of his right leg. The 40-year-old Murashige suffered severe wounds, but is expected to walk again.
The attack was very real, but considered a rare event.
"The odds of being bitten by a shark are less than one in a million in Hawaiian waters, and we seem to average about four or five bites per year," says Randy Honebrink, spokesman for the state Shark Task Force.
So far this year there have been two confirmed attacks. In late July, a woman was bitten on her arm just outside Lahilahi Point near Makaha Beach. Some feel that's two too many, especially when you consider the sudden surge of shark sightings across the state. The multiple reports recently triggered action by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
"An increased level of shark sightings during the past month or so prompted the department to take the unusual step of issuing a caution to ocean users," says Honebrink. "It's often been the case that shark sightings occur in spikes, probably because people look for them more carefully when they hear such reports."
According to the DLNR, reports have come from all across Hawaii:
Aug. 26, 2008: Confirmed sighting of a 10-12 foot shark at Anaeho'omalu Bay on the Big Island.
Aug. 30, 2008: Missing swimmer reported near MacKenzie State Park on the Big Island. Search attempts encounter the presence of what's believed to be a great white shark.
Sept. 2, 2008: Confirmed shark sighting near Hapuna Beach on the Big Island.
Sept. 3, 2008: Confirmed shark sightings at Kukio and Mauna Kea Beach Resort.
Sept. 6, 2008: Confirmed shark sighting at Hapuna Beach.
Sept. 8-9, 2008: 10-15 sharks feeding on school of fish outside Mauna Kea Beach Resort.
Sept. 9, 2008: Large shark bites Todd Murashige near Kahana Bay.
Sept. 10, 2008: Confirmed shark sightings near Kawaihae Harbor.
Sept. 11, 2008: A 10-foot shark is spotted off Chun's Reef on Oahu's North Shore.
Sept. 14, 2008: Shark spotted at Waimanalo Beach Park.
In all cases, shark-sighting signs were posted and in some areas, the beaches were closed. "It's not known if the sightings are a departure from the norm, but sharks are certainly found in our near shore waters and generally leave people alone," says Honebrink
Some have speculated the increase in monk seals and green sea turtles in Hawaiian waters is bringing sharks closer to shore. Shark experts disagree, saying although more turtles are surfacing closer to shore, they are not seeing more attacks on them. Others suggest the increase in ocean activities is putting more people in the water, creating more opportunities for trouble.
"There are a number of dangerous marine organisms, and sharks are just one group," says Honebrink.
The recent incidents have also triggered talk of revisiting shark eradication programs. Between 1959 and 1976, the state spent more than $300,000 to run the programs. As a result, more than 4,600 sharks were killed. Native Hawaiians balk at the idea because some sharks are considered family gods or 'aumakua.
There is no definitive explanation for the recent events, and there may not be a definitive solution. In the end, the answer to both may be the obvious.
"People who use the ocean should know and understand the risks," says Honebrink.
It's a risk Todd Murashige knew he was taking, as do thousands of others who enter the ocean every day.

Like most acts that perform on Later...With Jools Holland, Lou Reed and Metallica -- or Loutallica as they often call themselves -- didn't only perform the tracks we saw earlier this week. The two acts also ran through "The View," another frustration-inducing tune off their joint album, Lulu. And like the previous performances, this is more like a test of patience than anything else, though there's probably at least a handful of you out there actually digging this.
The more universally intriguing portion of their appearance on Later... comes when Reed and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich sit down with Holland for an interview. As expected, they discuss Lulu, how they came together to collaborate, and much more. You can view both portions of the show below.

Derek Thayer, 31, is praising his American-made truck after it was carried from the nearly destroyed Moore Medical Center to a yard across the street. Damage shows the Chevrolet truck was flipped, tossed and turned before landing on all four tires. But even with the extensive damage, and even in a mud-soaked field, Dave was still able to start the engine, calling it American-made goodness. While the truck clearly isn't drivable, Dave has his health and his life, and this truck is one of the little things that made him smile this week. It's those little things that are likely to keep this community going in the days, months and years ahead. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Serves 4
Pretty and refreshing, this fruity granita is terrific, after any meal or as a cooling afternoon treat on a hot day.
In a food processor fitted with a metal blade or in a blender, combine the raspberries, water and sugar. purée until smooth. Pour the purée through a coarse sieve set over a metal bowl to remove the seeds. Press firmly on the solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
Freeze the purée, whisking every 30 minutes, until semi-firm, about 3 hours. Cover and freeze without stirring until frozen solid, at least 8 hours or as long as 24 hours.
At least 1 hour before serving, place 4 martini glasses or wine glasses in the freezer.
To serve, using a fork, scrape the surface of the granita to form ice crystals. Scoop the crystals into the frozen glasses and serve immediately.

hello community, i want add the /usr/bin/sendmail Programm add to the php / apache open_basedir each new web. how i can extend this path? thank you
Cleaning up open_basedir path I noticed that our open_basedir path included /srv/www/ even though our Debian server does not contain such folder. (Built with Debian Wheezy / ISPconfig3 settings). I thought I would clean up the paths a little and was wondering what paths do you include in your ISPconfig3 setup's?

(too bad I'm giving this away)
Make another? Yes please!
Knitting the Sheep Hat
I saw this in 60 Quick Baby Knits and had to make it. How can you not love this cute little sheep. Luckily I have a co-worker who just had a baby. Cutest gift ever!
This was a very quick knit and the yarn (Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted) was lovely. Very soft and squishy. It starts with the grass and works through the body. Next I made the face, ears, and tail. I sewed those on and added eyes using a bit of leftover black yarn. I think I want one for myself!
Summer in DC
I visited DC twice this summer to spend time with a friend and to see Sade in concert. My fondness grows each time.
This summer I learned to ride the metro alone. I felt very proud of this fact. I even got so good at it that I started to bring along my knitting…
I sampled a few food trucks…
And visited museum after museum. This photo was taken in the National Museum of the American Indian.
I even headed out to the grand opening of the American Girl store. Yes, I reclaimed my inner child and wandered around with other children looking at dolls and their accessories. I've had my Addy doll since 1995 and that day she got new dresses. (And she's very excited about it)
Catching up…Persephone and Virago
The Mystery of Mrs Blencarrow – Mrs Oliphant
This binding includes two novellas, both quite good. The first novella is about Mrs Blencarrow who is believed to be concealing something. A particular neighbor just can not believe that she is so good as to have to blemishes on her social record, even after the death of husband. To hear the neighbor tell it Mrs Blencarrow is high and mighty and needs to be exposed. Of course Mrs Blencarrow does have something to hide. The second novella Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamond is darker. Mrs Lycett-Landon has found out that her husband has married someone else and is living two lives.
Both stories written in the late 1800s are not all what you would expect of the times, in a good way.
The Enchanted April – Elizabeth von Arnim
This is a lovely and warm story about four women who do not know each but who rent an Italian villa together in the 1920s. They are each viewing the vacation in different ways and each woman has a different reason for going. Amid blooming flowers and the enchantment of their new surroundings each woman finds a bit of happiness that had previously escaped them. This does sound exceptionally mushy and idyllic, but that's okay. There is also a film which I've seen and it is just as nice as the book. I'll be coming back to this one, perhaps in April when classes are winding down and the entire summer is stretched out before me.
From my Virago Secret Santa (rainpebble) two years ago, I read this last Christmas. I often chuckled to myself thinking that anyone who saw me reading this around Christmastime would think I was full of Christmas cheer and tinsel and lights. That is until they saw the hilarious cover, alas no one asked me about it. So I'll tell about it now. These are short pieces, essays, poems, excerpts from various women about the Christmas season. Some are deeply moving about the miracle of Christ while others lament family gatherings and traditions. I read it over the entire season and there was always something new to discover. I get a kick out of the back cover description so I will copy it here
Christmas began with a good but harassed woman giving birth in difficult domestic circumstances. Somewhere between then and now, the circumstances have changed, but for women today, Christmas is still a time of joys garnered against the odds. We have moved on from stables and mangers to supermarkets and microwaves; palm fronds and shepherds have given way to a spangled conifer and a fat man in a red suit. In this anthology, reflecting the experiences of more than 50 women at Christmas, Ntozake Shange and Agatha Christie rub shoulders with Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf. Curl up with a tantalizing volume that gives full reign to the seditious humor, peculiar discomforts, and exquisite social tortures of the season.
Catching up…LT Early Reviewers
These are selections that I received as part of LibrayThing's Early Reviewers Program.
Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self – Danielle Evans
The stories in this collection were great. They are mostly about adolescence and finding ones place and voice. Many of the stories are about young girls and range from family issues, making choices, to love and self-healing. I enjoyed the variety of topics covered and the characters. They are well thought out and very true to life. I hope Evans continues to write.
Fannie's Last Supper: Re-creating One Amazing Meal from Fannie Farmer's 1896 Cookbook – Christopher Kimball
Fannie's Last Supper is part travelogue (especially if you've visited or plan to visit Boston), part epicurean history, and part cookery book. The descriptions of Fannie's Boston and Victorian curiosity provide background for the modern meal Kimball is recreating. Many of Fannie's original recipes are modified to pull off the meal.
Reading Women: How the Great Books of Feminism Changed My Life – Stephanie Staal
This is one woman's experience in an intro to feminism course. Staal gives us just enough background on the texts and the main points for the reader to follow along. We follow her as she returns to her alma mater and enrolls in a feminist texts course. What is most interesting and the main idea of the book is the dynamic that she navigates. She discovers her dual selves-both mother and working woman. Her writing is accessible and I could really appreciate her experience. If you are looking for a more in depth reading of feminists texts I'd check elsewhere.
Other LT Selections I have waiting on my nightstand:
The Paris Wife – Paula McLain
Let's Kill Uncle – Rohan O'Grady
Arms Wide Open: A Midwife's Journey – Patricia Harman
Catching up..hodgepodge #2
The Hand That First Held Mine – Maggie O'Farrell
A wonderful book containing two stories that seem to be unrelated, but all along we somehow know that they have to be related. Lexie is just starting her career in the 60s in London. Elina has just had a baby but somehow can't remember exactly having the baby. She and her husband Ted are coping with being new parents, but also Ted's lack of memory about his childhood.
Village School – Miss Read
Set in the 1950s, through the eyes of the headmistress of the school, this is the first installment in the Miss Read series. I'd been wanting to get to know the characters in this English village for some time. Generally these are the daily happenings of the village and it's people, a soothing read.
I don't think there is much left to say about this blockbuster and I will spare anymore summarizing. When I read it a while ago it was wildly popular. I don't remember talk of a movie but everyone seemed to love it. I did too! I still struggle with it though. On one hand the story is nicely written, the characters are rich and lovable both for their personalities and because of the amazing feat they take on. But I couldn't help but think that it was too clean and too safe regarding social and racial tensions. I kept waiting for Stockett to take a leap into the horrors that so many experienced at this time. Even so, this book is accessible to a wide audience and that may have been the point. I'm planning on seeing the film as I love love love Viola Davis' work. I think I even imagined her in this story…though I may be imagining that now!

Catching up…Hodgepodge #1
The Island Beneath The Sea – Isabel Allende
I wish it hadn't been so long since I read this. The details are fuzzy now though I remember really enjoying this story. I always find that Allende's stories are sweeping and lushly descriptive. The Island Beneath the Sea tells the story of Zarite, a slave born on the island of Saint-Domingue which after the revolution became Haiti. Like many other slave narratives I have read, Zarite becomes a force and is instrumental in the survival of her master's family.
This was an interesting one. Barlow tells the story of various packs of wolves living in LA.They are able to transform from human to wolf depending on their needs at the time. The groups are fighting, the story is intense, gritty, and written in verse. Yes, that's right, verse. But there is no rhyming. It's amazing how much detail Barlow is able to get in such few words. There were a lot of different wolves/people to keep up with. There is also a lot of social commentary.

Thanks again. I'm loving these highlights!
Great work again. Where are you getting the video for these? Getting MSG where possible would make it even better.
Just from torrents. kickasstorrents or davka.bt are the go to sites. I'm definitely a bit worried that there'll be games that don't go up, as that'll stop my aspirations to do one for every game dead in its tracks. Getting MSG is a rarity, which sux because so many of the commentators for opposing teams are just morons. I always hope for ESPN so we can get a classic piece of JVG commentary.
I've put that copyright act blurb in all the videos too, by the way. Good lookin' out, smokes!
Nice compilation! KO representin'!

Who are the posters here that made these comments? You are sensational individuals.
3 videos up so far and they've amassed over 1,500 views. NOT BAD! Why did I ever other making mixes? Top 10s rule!
MVP vote for you. Thanks for all the hard work on KOL. BTW, what video editor do you use?
I run iMovie on my wife's computer. It's p*ss easy to use, and doesn't chew up my time. Wouldn't mind getting a sweeter editor, but once things get too technical who the F can be bothered?
I've gotta add, that all "the hard work" on KO isn't what I'd refer to as hard work in itself. The game one GT was a massive mission, but because I've done so many GTs now, it's as easy as scratching your nads. It's just pristine organisation that gets sh*t done, I've found. Usually, the GTs are just copy and pastes with nice placement of pics and a few clever ideas to make them funny on top.
The videos are easy as pie because I've got League Pass. It tells me when each event takes place, and the cutting takes about 20-30 minutes all up. Throw them in iMovie - they're already organised in order (organisation's key) and I just drag them in, add the play number, add a little comment or some flair to the last play at the end...hit process...DONE.....
It takes about an hour, and I don't ever watch TV unless Fringe, Game Of Thrones, South Park or Sons of Anarchy are on, so I spend my time making Knicks' highlights. A fine choice, if you ask me. TV these days is poop.
God I love talking about myself.

What's the current Windows Phone landscape look like? There's really no better way to tell than by looking at the data from AdDuplex. The cross-promotion network for both Windows Phone and Windows 8 gives us insight that we might not get from places like IDC or comScore. We've got the report for this month and so far the biggest trend for this month is that the Lumia 520 continues to dominate.
Telling numbers. Cheap Lumia's dominate the Windows Phone market, with flagship devices taking a backseat. On top of that, Nokia absolutely owns Windows Phone now - more than 90% of Windows Phone devices currently in use are Nokia's. This means that effectively, Windows Phone is now a Microsoft platform in both software and hardware, which comes as no surprise since HTC and Samsung aren't really feeling it anymore.
Also interesting is that Windows Phone 7 is still quite important - almost 25% of Windows Phone devices run 7.x. This means that if application developers want to focus on the latest and greatest alone, they'll have to forego 25% of the already relatively small Windows Phone userbase.

Listen to what you're saying: The jump in Android (a collection of OEMs licensing the same OS) was massive compared to Nokia (a single OEM).
Break Android figures down into individual OEMs and you'll see that Nokia is growing faster than the other top OEMs and has been doing so for the past year.
As I sourced, every major analyst can acknowledge that these numbers are good for Windows Phone. Why can't you?
Nokia *is* Windows Phone. Every other significant vendor has abandoned the platform.
So comparing Nokia / Windows Phone to iOS / Apple to Android / Everyone Else is hardly unfair. And of the three, Nokia / Windows Phone had the smallest increment in actual sales.
IDC (certainly a "major analyst") publicly reported this data. Can you accept it?
I think Nokia enjoys the highest proportion of sales because they have the most fleshed out portfolio and put in the most effort.
I don't think the door is closed on Windows Phone as a viable OS for other OEMs in the future, but for now Nokia is doing the trail blazing here.
So comparing Nokia / Windows Phone to iOS / Apple to Android / Everyone Else is hardly unfair. And of the three, Nokia / Windows Phone had the smallest increment in actual sales.
I think its purpose is only to inflate Android numbers, and I disagree with the comparison when its done in the context of iOS vs. Android as well.
Nokia may use Windows Phone, but at the end of the day they are still just one OEM. And an OEM which is no longer a market leader at that. That's why expecting them to post Androidesque YoY gains is impossible and unrealistic. Of course that probably suits your point of view which is why I suspect you jumped on it.
IDC (certainly a "major analyst") publicly reported this data. Can you accept it?
I included IDC as a source in my original comment, along with Gartner, comCore, KWP, and Canalys.

NEWARK, Del., Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Today, a not-for-profit organization presenting at the Delaware Prescription Drug Abuse Summit appealed to the event's host, Attorney General Beau Biden, for assistance in preventing medication overdoses. The Center for Lawful Access and Abuse Deterrence (CLAAD) asked Biden to work closely with his father, Vice President Joe Biden, to ensure that federal regulators properly implement Obama-Biden Administration drug policies.
During CLAAD's presentation at the summit, Director Michael Barnes warned that pain medications without added safety features could flood back into communities in the coming weeks if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fails to follow the Obama-Biden strategy.
In recent years, the makers of the opioid pain relievers OxyContin and Opana removed their traditional products from the market in favor of new versions designed to impede certain forms of intentional abuse. Preliminary, peer-reviewed evidence indicates that dealers and abusers have less interest in the new drugs with abuse-deterrent features.[1] The new medications cost no more to consumers than their prior formulations.
Several drug companies have asked the FDA for approval to bring the old, more readily abused formulations of the drugs back to the market as early as January 2013.
"The Administration's prescription drug abuse prevention plan provides express support for abuse-deterrent medications," Barnes said.
Earlier this month, CLAAD and nine other public health and safety organizations sent a letter to the FDA urging it to implement Obama-Biden policy, foster the transition to abuse-deterrent medications, and prevent the marketing of generic versions of the drugs that do not have similar safety features.
"At today's summit, I asked General Biden to work closely with his father to make certain that the FDA does the right thing," Barnes said.
Vice President Biden is considered one of the most accomplished national leaders in drug policy, having served as chairman of both the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and Drug Caucus.
"I have confidence that the Bidens will ensure that the FDA supports the shift to abuse-deterrent medications," Barnes concluded. "We reached a turning point in our nation's prescription drug abuse epidemic at today's summit."

Reading List
The 2nd installment in a series of articles for creating Software as a Service, Multi-Tenant Data Architecture, is now available from the Microsoft Architecture Strategy Team on MSDN.
In this article, we look at the continuum between isolated data and shared data, and identify three distinct approaches for creating data architectures that fall at different places along the continuum. Next, we'll explore some of the technical and business factors to consider when deciding which approach to use. Finally, we'll present design patterns for ensuring security, creating an extensible data model, and scaling the data infrastructure.
The article starts with an overview of the general approaches to a multi-tenant architecture and then asks both technical and business questions to help define the most appropriate plan, giving some useful SQL Server strategies to help plan for isolation and scalability. Overall it is a great first step at looking at the consideration of developing the data services required for SaaS.
Start with the first article in the series, Architecture Strategies for Catching the Long Tail, for an introduction if you are unfamiliar with the SaaS concepts.

So I went home to the burbs for the weekend and right as I walked through the door after seeing Michael Moore's latest documentary, Bowling for Columbine, the first thing my mother said to me was, "Did you hear there was another sniper shooting in Virginia?"
Luckily, we live in New York, over 300 miles away from all the sniper attacks. However, my parents are not immune to the "culture of fear" Michael Moore ascribes to the apparently American tradition of nonstop media coverage of the mostly violent crimes – particularly gun deaths. He points out that while the murder rate has decreased 20% over the past couple of years, news coverage of violent crimes has risen 600%. My mother watches the local news religiously. My father reads the newspapers daily.
"Be careful when you leave your apartment," my father cautions me, "the sniper might decide to come up to the city."
"Don't worry, Dad," I tell him, "if he comes up to Washington Heights, he will be outgunned."
It's true. I've lived here for three years now. Whenever I turn on the local news, the shootings invariably take place within 5 blocks of my apartment. I've witnessed a murder suicide from my window (I heard the shots, saw the bodies. My neighbors found their car bullet ridden the next morning and within the month, moved out to a safer – or is it – Hoboken).
Clearly, here in the Heights, the sniper would not have a chance. In fact, I dare the sniper to come up to Washington Heights. Quit pussy footing it around DC and come up here and play, asshole.
Nevertheless, I'm sure if we had a sniper up here we'd all be cowering and looking over our shoulders even more than we're used to. It seems walking around DC and areas like my neighborhood these days is like playing the death lottery: unlikely to pick the winning numbers, yes, but still a possibility. So it's shocking yet easy for me to believe when Michael Moore states that while Australia and England each had about 65 shooting deaths in a one-year period and Canada around 300, the United States had over 11,000 in one year alone.
Bowling for Columbine is Moore's quest for an explanation behind these disturbing figures. He scours the nation to bring us a humorous and grimly horrific look at America's culture of firearms abuse from a bank that gives away guns when you open an account with them to the terrible massacre at Columbine to even Michigan, his home state.
Here, a startling set of coincidences arises. Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols and his brother (who we learn sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow) have connections to the Michigan militia. NRA President Charlton "From My Cold Dead Hands" Heston grew up in Michigan as did Columbine killer Harris. Michigan has the record for the youngest fatal shooting when a six year old shot and killed a classmate. Heston insensitively attended and spoke at an NRA meeting one week after this shooting, in Michigan.
And Michigan is only a microcosm.
However, across the border, in Canada, where gun laws are similar to ours and guns are just as easily accessible, why is it that the number of gun deaths is only a tenth that of the United States'? Germany and Great Britain have just a violent history as ours and yet only a fraction of the gun violence. What makes us different? Why is a sniper targeting seemingly random people in DC? Why am I scared to walk around my neighborhood at night?
Bowling for Columbine's worth lies in the questions Moore poses as the film leaves us with no clear answers, just a general feeling of anger and helplessness, an overwhelming sense that something is wrong in America, as well as an uneasy longing to move to Canada.
So I'm thinking that moving north of the border to Canada is not such a bad idea. I've got my winter coats (all fifteen or so), my love of Canadian comedians and Canadian bacon (both the movie and the food, although I've been told repeatedly that they don't have Canadian bacon up there. Wtf). I can get excited for Kraft dinners, timbits, and alcool, and I'm all for Boxing Day. I still don't understand Canadian Thanksgiving (what is that all aboot?) but I'll celebrate it. So fuck this shit, when our government decides to attack Saddam, I'll be cheering on the Maple Leafs and skating home to think polite thoughts about the Queen Mum. Canada is utopia.

Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan became some of the most popular actors to have followed into their fathers' footsteps. Today is Father's Day and we wish to look at the the young lot of debutante actors who are about to make their respective grand entries into Bollywood and will be carrying on the Bollywood tradition of "Like Father Like Son" (in this case daughter as well).
Athiya Shetty:
She is getting launched by Salman Khan opposite Sooraj Pancholi in Hero but her father Suniel Shetty is petrified about her little girl entering the world of glitz and glamour. Not that Athiya's daddy isn't confident about her daughter's skills as an actor, but the feeling of letting a piece of your heart go out in the world alone is a scary one for any father. To comfort Suniel, Salman has promised to take care of Athiya and will see to her big launch being carried out smoothly. So much for a father's love!
Sooraj Pancholi
He will be reprising Jackie Shroff's role from Ghai's hit film Hero in Nikhil Advani's remake of the film and he has found a mentor in Salman Khan who is leaving no stone unturned to give the young newcomer the perfect launch-pad. But before making an entry into films, Sooraj was surrounded with controversies as his actor girlfriend Jiah Khan committed suicide and blamed him for her breakdown in her suicide note. Things got out of hand for the Pancholi family but Sooraj's father Aditya stood by him through thick and thin, supporting him through his court hearings and making statements for the cameras. With his father's backing, Sooraj managed to stand back on his own two feet and move past the incident.
Harshvardhan Kapoor:
We heard that this star-kid is a method actor. Now we aren't sure if he gets it from his star father Anil Kapoor or he is gearing up for his Bollywood debut in Mirza Sahibaan with full force. The handsome newbie was recently snapped riding a horse and the paparazzi went gaga over the Kapoor lad. Even his sister Sonam Kapoor can't stop proclaiming her love for him and says the he is the best brother one can ask for. We'd say that Harsh has gotten the best father one can ask for. When there are actors like Ranveer Singh actively declaring that the 24 actor is their role-model it would be hard to imagine the pressure Harsh must be under, that of performing in his father's shadow and outdoing him.
Akshara Hassan:
Kamal Hassan's daughter will be debuting opposite Dhanush in Balki's Shamitabh and will also share screen space with Big B in the film. Akshara bears a striking resemblance to her sister and mother yet she has something tom-boyish about her that both the ladies don't possess. Perhaps she gets her boyish charm from her father who was and continues to be a heartthrob for millions! She isn't as glamourous as her sister Shruti is but that's likely to change once she appears on the silver-screen!
We wonder if this youngster will be following exactly into the footsteps of his father or not but we have news that his daddy Ranjeet, the evergreen baddie of the '80s has approached Sajid Nadiadwala will help him make a starry entry into films likeTiger Shroff did. The actor is young and unpolished for now but we expect that Ranjeet will be investing time into sculpting his scion as the next big thing in Bollywood.

Researcher says flaw in Android creates phone risk
WASHINGTON A security researcher says cellphones equipped with Google's Android operating system are at risk of being disabled or wiped clean of their data, including contacts, music and photos.
Opening a link to a website or application embedded with malicious code can trigger an attack capable of destroying the memory card in Android-equipped handsets made by Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericsson, said Ravi Borgaonkar of Germany's Technical University Berlin. He wrote that another code that can erase a user's data appears to target only the top-selling Galaxy S III and other Samsung phones.
Borgaonkar says he informed Google of the vulnerability in June. A fix was issued quickly, he says, but wasn't publicized, leaving many phone owners unaware the problem existed.
Google declined to comment.
Hurricane damage exceeds estimate
BATON ROUGE, La. Hurricane Isaac damaged nearly 59,000 homes across southeast Louisiana. That is more than four times the number officials estimated a week after the storm made landfall on Aug. 28.
The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness says the most severe damage hit houses and rental units in St. John the Baptist and Plaquemines parishes, where flooding swamped homes with several feet of water. The data comes from door-to-door inspections of more than 120,000 homes done by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after people registered for federal aid.
Report uncovered of Renoir theft
WASHINGTON Police have located a 60-year-old theft report from the day a Renoir painting disappeared from the Baltimore Museum of Art that matches the description of an artwork that sold for $7 recently at a flea market. Now an art theft expert says the museum has a strong case to get it back.
Baltimore police on Friday uncovered the report from Nov. 17, 1951. The museum on Thursday said it also found a record in its library that the painting was stolen. The police report noted there was no evidence of forced entry at the museum and that the painting was valued then at $2,500.
Six decades later, a Virginia woman said she bought the painting at a West Virginia flea market in 2010. The painting was to be sold at auction for the woman today, expected to fetch at least $75,000.
Memorial set for site of club blaze
WEST WARWICK, R.I. The owner of the site of a 2003 nightclub fire that killed 100 people is donating the land for a permanent memorial, bringing an end to a years-long effort to secure the site of The Station fire by families of those killed and survivors of the blaze.
Dan McKiernan, a lawyer for Ray Villanova, transferred ownership of the plot of land in West Warwick to the Station Fire Memorial Foundation on Friday, five months before the 10th anniversary of the blaze, which started when pyrotechnics for the rock band Great White set fire to flammable foam that lined the walls of the club.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – In a case brought before U.S. District Court, Foxwoods Resort Casino has refused to pay three customers who claim the casino owes them nearly $1.2 million in winnings plus damages, The Day reported Monday.
The three plaintiffs in the Foxwoods case said they deposited $1.6 million with the casino during a visit to Foxwoods in December 2011. After they won $1.2 million playing the card game mini-baccarat using a strategy called "edge sorting," which they claim is a legal technique, the casino refused to pay the $1.2 million and withheld the $1.6 million in front money.
The plaintiffs – Chinese nationals Long Mei Fang and Zong Yang Li of Los Angeles and Cheung Yin Sun of Las Vegas – are seeking $3 million in total damages from the casino.
Sun was previously named as an accomplice in a separate case, filed in April, in which Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa alleged Sun used edge sorting to help poker champion Phillip Ivey Jr. cheat the casino out of more than $9.6 million in 2012.
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Gaming Commission director ruled in February 2012 that the plaintiffs in the Foxwoods case had violated the casino's gaming regulations by using the edge-sorting technique, which allows players to identify specific cards by spotting certain visible asymmetries on the cards' backsides and having the dealer turn those cards opposite to the rest of the cards.
The Foxwoods case was filed in New Haven U.S. District Court on July 31.

Love it . I've been looking for this info . Wonderful information I will be back for information about Liquid Diet.
Yawn . . . . so another "talking point" airhead claims media bias when his narrow little world is disrupted Yawn . . .
Having already listened to Michael Lewis himself on NPR, Kurtz's piece on Deal with the Devil completely mischaracterized Lewis's tolerance for having his writing about Obama vetted by the administration - and entirely missed the point of what kind of vetting the Administration wanted to do. The facts about this unique arrangement for a journalist were already expertly covered by the amazing Terry Gross, whose piece on this was exactly the kind of insight that dispells uninformed popular belief and represents a very high standard of conduct for both the two journalists (Lewis and Gross) as well as by the Administration. So much fo Kurtz being a reliable source of critique on journalism.
just so you know there are a lot of republicans that are saying good things about what Romney did. you make it sound so bad to earn points for the current president. Media bias? I would say so. I personally think he did great....sure let me know as an american, that if he were president he would stand up for our country. by the way just because the timeline didn't match up doesn't change anything, it was put out there! Amen Romney!!!
Needlessly declaring war (YET AGAIN) is NOT standing up for our country... it's getting our people in uniform killed needlessly. Their lives may be expendable to you and other chickenhawks, but they aren't to me. IMO, we should stop trying to be the world police and take care of the people here at home instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing overseas and hypocritically barking orders at them when we ourselves would never stand to be treated that way by other countries.
Pawlenty insisted he doesn't want the VP slot eihetr, but he'd take it in a heartbeat as would Lieberman. Very rarely does a veepstakes candidate NOT say they don't want the position before the selection. It's just the way the game is played.
This is the most reliable news hour that I recomment to anyone to watch.

This week's themeUnusual words This week's words bushwa resistentialism cock-a-hoop gadzookery petrichor Follow us on Discuss Feedback RSS/XML A.Word.A.Day
with Anu GargFrom time to time I receive letters asking about a word featured in this newsletter: "Didn't you just make that one up?" No, I didn't. All words featured in AWAD are listed in at least one general-purpose dictionary. However, someone did use these words for the first time. So someone did coin them, though it's not always clear who that person was. On the other hand, many words have clear lineages that tell us who fathered them. This week we'll see examples of both kinds, all of them rather unusual words that make us wonder "Did someone just make them up?" bushwabushwa (BUSH-wa) noun, also bushwah Nonsense; bull. [Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a mispronunciation of bourgeois.]
"The tone of his (Antonin Scalia's) remarks suggested that the court had
never before moved social policy along by taking into account changing
social mores. Which is, alas, bushwa."
"I should've said that his good buddy's fury might be rooted in his own
insecurity; that beneath the bushwah about cool, chemistry and leadership
is another thin-skinned kid." X-BonusThe one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience. -Harper Lee, writer (b. 1926) |

PSA Insider - March 13, 2008 | Vol. 9 Number 6 |
PSA HOBBY NEWSMile High's Winter 2008 Auction Climbs to Record $2.27 Million REA's Historic April Auction: Baseball Card and Memorabilia Treasures 1845-1975 PSA SET REVIEW THE BATTING CAGE: Photo matching - is it the only step in authenticating? Collecting Roberto Clemente Cards
PSA Q & AQuestion: What is the difference between manufactured scarcity and true scarcity? Answer: Manufactured scarcity occurs when a product is purposely created in limited numbers to enhance its appeal. For example, a card or autographed piece that is offered as "one of 50" or "one of 500". True scarcity occurs when a collectible is rare, not as a result of intent by the manufacturer, but as a result of the item surviving in limited numbers like a PSA Mint 9 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle or a Roy Campanella game-used bat. The Mantle card is scarce because so few in that condition remain and, in the case of the bat, so few of the bats - regardless of condition - have survived at all.

After several years with an interim director of marketing, Goldbelt Incorporated has hired into that role a full-time employee dedicated to promoting the Mount Roberts Tram and Goldbelt Hotel.
Joann Flora was hired by Goldbelt as its director of tourism marketing. She started work at the beginning of June.
"A lot of people come to Alaska multiple times," Flora said. "Many of them, their first experience is on a cruise ship, and realize how much they didn't get to do because there's a schedule they have to keep."
Then they come back as independent travelers and, according to Flora, capitalize on getting to experience things they didn't have chance to do on their last trip.
"Getting that personal contact with people is really important," said Flora. "It's not just important to the trip they're having right now, today, but it's important to future trips they're going to have."
Marketing a product like the Mount Roberts Tram is multifaceted, according to Flora, who works extensively with the cruise ship industry, selling tram passes and advertising the opportunities that exist beyond a tram ride.
"The Mount Roberts Tram experience is exactly that. It's a total package of experience," Flora said.
"I think it's a real benefit to local people because of everything it has to offer," Flora said of the tram. "It's a jewel for Juneau."
Flora has 30 years experience in sales and marketing. Before moving to Juneau, she was the community director for Big Brothers, Big Sisters in Ketchikan and, before that, spent 11 years with the McDowell Group doing visitor research.
Flora said she was happy to be living in Juneau and excited to become part of the community.

When it comes to grass roots marketing, just go tell everyone you know or meet. Here's some ideas:
1. Teachers looking for something to inspire their students. 2. Talk radio, any time they are talking about publicly funded disasters versus privately funded alternatives. 3. Civic groups of business people. |

See a Castle, Give a Concert and Catch a Symphony
Trip Start
Mar 12, 2010
Trip End
Mar 21, 2010
Where I stayed
The Prague Castle is said to be the biggest in area in the world. It goes back to the year 870 and, like most of these European landmarks, has been burned down or blown up and rebuilt several times over the centuries. It is certainly an imposing sight as it stretches out over half a mile, high upon the bank of the Vltava River.
The palace is currently the headquarters of the Governing body of the Republic and its walls enclose four different churches, four different palaces, half a dozen towers and several gardens, including a producing vineyard. It could be an all day adventure except that it is often, as was the case for us, overrun with several thousand school children whose noise and jostling soon grow wearying. We went through the St. Vitus Cathedral (925 ad) and it was very big.
Our tour took us down from the Castle and across the Charles Bridge to the Old Square. There we tried to squeeze in a bit of lunch with ruinous results yet again arising from restraints of time and language. We had a date to keep in the form of a formal concert at the famous St Nicolas Church which is located in the Square.
It was still very cold in Prague and so the Church folks had set up portable propane heaters in the Chancel to try to provide some warmth for the choir. To little avail, alas, because the church was so enormous that any heat produced simply wafted its way to the vaulted ceiling where, perhaps, it warmed the toes of any angels that were flitting about up there. Meanwhile it was mildly hilarious to watch as the choristers who wore glasses tried to sing and read their music while their own warm breath was putting a foggy patina on their cold lenses. Once again, however, they acquitted themselves admirably and were given a warm reception by the one-hundred or so souls who had stopped by to listen.
For dinner that evening we were taken to the Beer Hall U Fleku which is both a restaurant and microbrewery. Waiters circulated with great flagons of beer and an oom-pah band tootled away in the corner. Not a minute to lose, though, because many of us had tickets for the Prague Symphony that evening and we were soon scurrying through the streets of the city to catch the Beethoven and Mahler show. Beethoven was fine but Mahler went on a bit.
