Asked by ESPNLosAngeles.com if he'd heard about Johnson's on-air comments, Jim Buss said, "But I believe in Magic as I always have." ESPN.com |

Arash Markazi: Magic Johnson: "I love Dr. Buss but I don't believe in Jim Buss." Twitter @ArashMarkazi Chad Ford: Phil Jackson was asking for the moon -- huge salary, ownership stake, personnel control, etc and Jim Buss didn't want to cede control of the franchise. But perhaps equally important, Phil was seen as a short term solution and the Lakers want to think long-term as well. As for D'Antoni? He's a great coach, gets along well with the players on the roster and is a better long-term fit. Phil would've been awesome and maybe even given the Lakers a better shot to win the next year or two. But long-term? I think D'Antoni was the right choice. ESPN.com |

Of course, Bryant said Tuesday that he didn't know Jackson was interested in the job. "I told them (General Manager Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss) Mike D'Antoni was my first choice," Bryant said after Tuesday's shoot-around. "I didn't know Phil was going to be an option. They said it is and I want to know how you feel about it. That was it. "They knew my two guys that I liked. If one didn't work out with Phil, they knew they had my approval with the other one." Orange County Register On Sunday, a person familiar with the situation, speaking anonymously because the deal wasn't complete, said the Lakers were 95% certain Jackson was their choice. By game time, the certainty had dropped to 70%, and the rest quickly disappeared in the next few hours. Jackson laughed at media reports that said he had wanted to skip road games and demanded to have final say in personnel decisions. "There's nothing about that," he said. "Jimmy [Buss] and I had an agreement when I came back for the second tenure that there would be complete transparency in personnel decisions. I did bring up there were a couple things that went by me that time and I would be part and parcel of such a thing this time." Jackson said Kupchak told him during the late Sunday phone call that the Lakers thought D'Antoni was the best coach for the team. Kupchak, Jim Buss and Jerry Buss were not available for interviews. Los Angeles Times The Lakers woke up Jackson with a phone call near midnight Sunday to tell him that Mike D'Antoni would be their coach. "I wish it would have been a little bit cleaner," Jackson said in a Monday night telephone interview with The Times. "It would have been much more circumspect and respectful of everybody that's involved. It seemed slimy to be awoken with this kind of news. It's just weird." The Lakers explained their decision this way: "After speaking with several excellent and well-respected coaching candidates, Dr. Buss, Jim and I all agreed that Mike was the right person at this time to lead the Lakers forward," Kupchak said in a statement Monday, referring to Jim Buss and also team owner Jerry Buss. Los Angeles Times "Saturday morning, [Lakers executive] Jim Buss called to ask if he could come and visit. I didn't solicit or ask for the opportunity but I welcomed both him and [team executive] Mitch Kupchak into my home to discuss the possibility of my return to the Lakers as head coach," Jackson said. "We talked for over an hour and a half. No contractual terms were discussed and we concluded with a handshake and an understanding that I would have until Monday [today] to come back to them with my decision. I did convey to them that I did have the confidence that I could do the job. I was awakened at midnight Sunday by a phone call from Mitch Kupchak. He told me that the Lakers had signed Mike D'Antoni to a three-year agreement and that they felt he was the best coach for the team. The decision is of course theirs to make. I am gratified by the groundswell of support from the Laker fans who encouraged my return and it is the principal reason why I considered the possibility." Yahoo! Sports Phil Jackson got that fantastically awkward midnight wake-up call from Mitch Kupchak – and got the news that the job Jackson absolutely thought was his to lose had already been won by Mike D'Antoni. So stunned and groggy was Jackson that he didn't even really ask why. He did manage to straighten up enough to land a typical Jackson straight jab when Kupchak said Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and he all believed D'Antoni was the best coach for the Lakers now. "I don't," Jackson said. "But OK." Orange County Register Jackson was intrigued. He heard what Kobe Bryant said about him Friday night when asked about Jackson coaching again – heartfelt, downright loving words – and Jackson was truly touched. He had been watching Bryant's team closely enough that he could tell you in great detail why the spacing in Mike Brown's offense was crap, how Dwight Howard was being posted up with a teammate far too nearby and enabling the double team to come ridiculously easily. Orange County Register There was some talk about Jackson's disdain for travel, yes, but nothing concrete. They went through the roster together, but Jackson didn't demand personnel power over Kupchak's head. There was no equity stake in the franchise. Jim Buss brought up the Lakers' diminished spending power these days in light of the new collective bargaining agreement and revenue sharing, and Jackson actually hinted that he'd take less money this time by saying broadly: "This is not gonna be about money." Orange County Register Musburger said that while he respected the Lakers right to hire whomever they wanted as coach, he was disappointed in the way the entire situation unfolded. "Phil is someone who brought nothing but trophies to their bookcase and value to the franchise," Musburger said. "He deserved to be dealt with honestly. "He didn't deserve the job, that's their decision. They can hire whoever they wish. But don't say to someone you've got until Monday and then roust him from slumber at midnight to say, 'By the way we hired somebody else.' That's just not fair dealing and Phil deserved fair dealing. He's a good faith person and he was dealt with poorly. It is indicative of the shabby way that organization is being run." ESPN.com Team officials said the decision had to do with a belief that D'Antoni's up-tempo offense was a better fit for this group than Jackson's triangle, but his representatives and longtime friend and assistant Kurt Rambis strongly denied speculation that Jackson had asked for too much in negotiations and eventually led to his own undoing. USA Today ESPN NBA analyst Kurt Rambis, a former Lakers player and assistant coach who worked on Jackson-led staffs from 2001-2004 and 2005-2009 and remains close friends with Jackson, said Jackson told him there had never been any discussions of salary or restrictions on a potential return and that he and the Lakers had agreed to wait until Monday to negotiate. "It's a process with Phil," Rambis said Monday. "He goes through an entire mental process of envisioning the season and how to get the team to the NBA Finals. It's about winning for him, not just whether he wants to coach." ESPN.com |

"If you're talking about having success and having this team and someone who knows how to guide a team to an NBA title, Phil is that guy," he said. "There's no second, third, fourth or fifth choice at this point in time. He's that guy. I don't know if Jim Buss knows one system from another in terms of how it fits with players, or what works best for players, or what's the difference between them. I don't know if he really understands that, so a lot of times decisions are made on gut feelings and with outside sources that have an influence on it." USA Today Jackson wanted to humiliate Lakers vice president Jim Buss far more than he wanted to coach the team. He wanted significant allowances on travel, coaching duties and an ability to veto player personnel moves that didn't fit his vision. With an unprecedented 11 coaching championships, Jackson had every right to make unprecedented demands. He doesn't have the right to be surprised when the Lakers rejected them and hired a pliable, cheaper coach in Mike D'Antoni. "Phil wanted Jim Buss to walk away with his tail between his legs," one source with knowledge of the discussions told Yahoo! Sports. "He thought he had time to still negotiate with them, and see how much they would give him." Yahoo! Sports "Phil's assistants convinced him that they had his back on the concerns [Jackson] had about his load as head coach, and he was ready to get a deal done on Monday," a source with knowledge of the talks said. "But this was about Jim Buss giving him a royal you-know-what in the end." Yahoo! Sports He doesn't have the right to be surprised when the Lakers rejected them and hired a pliable, cheaper coach in Mike D'Antoni. "Phil wanted Jim Buss to walk away with his tail between his legs," one source with knowledge of the discussions told Yahoo! Sports. "He thought he had time to still negotiate with them, and see how much they would give him." Yahoo! Sports Jackson heard those chants in the Staples Center and never believed the Lakers had the guts to call his bluff before circling back to him on Monday. "Phil's assistants convinced him that they had his back on the concerns [Jackson] had about his load as head coach, and he was ready to get a deal done on Monday," a source with knowledge of the talks said. "But this was about Jim Buss giving him a royal you-know-what in the end." Yahoo! Sports Sam Amico: That said, everyone in NBA I've spoken with now fully expects Phil to take another job next year. He's available if you can meet his demands Twitter @SamAmicoFSO The Lakers said they plan to hold a press conference most likely on Tuesday or Wednesday. In a statement released by the team, Lakers spokesperson John Black said team owner Jerry Buss, executive vice president Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak were "unanimous that D'Antoni was the best coach for the team at this time."

Environmental appraisal of Budget measures
The Government is committed to appraising the environmental impact of Budget measures. Table 1 shows how Budget measures sit alongside other policies as part of the Government's approach to the environmental elements of sustainable development. Table 2 sets out the environmental impact of measures introduced in recent Budgets which have a significant effect on the environment or which serve an environmental purpose. The Government aims to ensure that policy design, appraisal and evaluation take account of costs and benefits, the precautionary principle, and the need to internalise costs by making the polluter pay.
Table 1: The Government's policy objectives and Budget measures |
Policy objective | Sustainable development indicator1 | Data indicating recent trends | Recent Government measures |
Tackling climate change and improving air quality | Emissions of greenhouse gases | Between 1999 and 2000 emissions of the basket of six greenhouse gases showed no significant changes. Since 1990 they have fallen by 13 per cent2 |
Other Government measures
Budget measures
Days when air pollution is moderate or higher | Number of days with moderate or high air pollution increased from 16 in urban sites and 25 in rural sites in 2000 to 21 in urban sites and 30 in rural sites in 20013 | ||
Road traffic | Traffic levels in 2001 were 1.2 per cent higher than in 20004 | ||
Improving waste management | Waste arisings and management | Proportion of household waste being recycled was over 11 per cent in 2000-01, an increase of 1 per cent over the previous year5 |
Other Government measures
Budget measures
Regenerating Britain's towns and cities | New homes built on previously developed land | In 2001, 61 per cent of new housing was on previously developed land, increasing from around 54 per cent in the early 1990s |
Other Government measures
Budget measures
Protecting Britain's countryside and natural resources | Populations of wild birds | In 2000 the decline in farmland birds - halving since 1977 - continued to level off. Woodland birds increased to their highest level since 19901 |
Other Government measures
Budget measures
Chemical river quality | In 2001, 95 per cent of rivers in the UK were of good or fair chemical quality, little change from 20005 | ||
1 Achieving a Better Quality of Life, DEFRA January 2002 - latest data from www.sustainable-development.gov.uk.2 The main six greenhouse gases are: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride.3 2001 results were slightly poorer than for 2000 (the best year to date), mainly due to the weather.4 After adjustment for the effect of the September 2000 fuel protest and foot and mouth disease in 2001, growth is still 1.2 per cent.5 Municipal Waste Management Survey, 2000-01, DEFRA. As the headline waste sustainable development indicator has not yet been updated this currently relates to the core indicator on household waste. |
Table 2: The environmental impacts of Budget measures | |||
Budget measure | Environmental impact1 | ||
Climate change levy package | Savings of at least 5 MtC2 per year by 20103, 4. | ||
Reduced rate of VAT on the installation of energy-saving materials | Reduction of 0.1 MtC per year by 20105. | ||
Reduced rate of VAT on domestic fuel and power | Estimated to increase emissions by 0.2 MtC per year by 20104. | ||
Road fuel duty differentials6 |
The shift to ULSP from ordinary unleaded is estimated to have reduced nitrogen oxide emissions by 1 per cent, carbon monoxide emissions by 4 per cent and emissions of volatile organic compounds by 1 per cent per year between 2001 and 2004. The shift to ULSD from ordinary diesel is estimated to have reduced emissions of particulates by 8 per cent and nitrogen oxides by up to 1 per cent per year between 2001 and 2004. The reduced rate for biodiesel could save up to 0.2 MtC per year by 20106. The road fuel gas differential will result in a reduction in emissions of particulates and nitrogen oxides. |
Green Fuel Challenge | Identify fuels which could result in reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. Potential waste policy benefits. | ||
Reforms to car, lorry, van and motorcycle VED | Reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. | ||
Company car tax reform | Savings of 0.05 to 0.1 MtC in 2002-03. In the long run savings are estimated at between 0.5 and 1 MtC per year7. | ||
Fuel scale charge reform |
Programme of five-year increase in the fuel scale charge is estimated to have reduced the number of drivers in receipt of free fuel by over 150,0007. Expected to reduce carbon dioxide and local air pollutant emissions. Restructuring the fuel scale charge in 2003 to relate it to carbon dioxide emissions and to include the same discounts and premiums as in the company car tax system will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. |
Authorised mileage allowance payments |
Reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. | ||
100 per cent first-year allowances for cars with low carbon dioxide emissions, and hydrogen and natural gas refuelling infrastructure | Reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. | ||
Green travel plans | Reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. | ||
Air passenger duty (APD) | Reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and local air pollutants. | ||
Capital allowances for flats over shops | Bringing empty space over shops back into the residential markets, helping to create greater urban diversity while reducing the pressure for new greenfield development. | ||
Tax relief for cleaning up contaminated land | Increases in the clean up of contaminated land. | ||
Stamp duty exemption for disadvantaged areas | Regeneration and improved functioning of property markets in Britain's most disadvantaged areas. | ||
Reforms to the VAT treatment of conversion and renovation activity | Reduced pressure on greenfield site development due to the better use of existing buildings. | ||
Aggregates levy and Sustainability Fund | Reductions in noise and vibration, dust and other emissions to air, visual intrusion, loss of amenity and damage to wildlife habitats. | ||
Landfill tax and landfill tax credit scheme | Encourages waste producers and the waste management industry to switch away from landfill towards waste minimisation, re-use and recycling | ||
1 These estimates are subject to a wide margin of error.2 Million tonnes of carbon.3 There are a number of difficulties involved in estimating the emissions savings from the individual components of the climate change levy, including the need to avoid double counting. Of the 5MtC per year by 2010; the levy and exemptions account for 2.0 MtC, the negotiated agreements account for 2.5 MtC and energy efficiency measures account for 0.5 MtC. A related measure, the emissions trading scheme, is forecast to save 1.1 MtC per year by 2006.4 Based on the DTI energy model.5 Using NETCEN emissions models - further detail on the methodology used is provided in NETCEN's January 2000 report UK Road Transport Emissions Projections. Between 1997 and 1999, the fuel duty escalator is forecast to have reduced emissions by 1 to 2.5 MtC per year by 2010. The reductions in fuel duty in Budget 2001 are estimated to have increased emissions by between 0.1 and 0.2 MtC per year by 2010.6 DfT modelling.7 Based on Inland Revenue modelling. |

Apple founder and ex-CEO Steve Jobs died at the age of 56, Apple said on its website on Thursday.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but Jobs struggled with cancer since 2003. He underwent a successful surgery in 2004 and a liver transplantation in 2008.
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the company said. "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Jobs is credited with being the mastermind of the company's iconic products – iPhone and iPad.
This August, the legendary chief executive officer of Apple Inc., resigned and named Cook to the post.

The media have swarmed the North Attleboro, Mass., home of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who has been questioned
The media have swarmed the North Attleboro, Mass., home of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who has been questioned
Here's how Ray Allen explained his shooting approach to SBNation's Paul Flannery a few days before hitting the shot of his career with five seconds to go in Game 6:
After three months as the single most popular person in Taiwan, Manny Ramirez will leave the EDA Rhinos by week's end. Weep not, Manny fans, because he's probably headed for the greener, more lucrative pastures of Japan.
I always hated leaving Whalers games early. Maybe if they were down three goals I could be coaxed out of my seat when the PA announcer said, "Oooooooone minute left in the period." But it would take all of my father's cajoling to get me to leave the Hartford Civic Center before the crush of 10,000 people parked in the same three garages made his trek home a nightmare. He didn't spend five minutes backing a Mercury Grand Marquis into a too-small parking spot just to get stuck afterward in a 15-minute line of cars crawling toward a cash-only booth.
If only one play could be said to define this scintillating NBA finals, it has to be Ray Allen's game-tying three-pointer from the right corner with 5.2 seconds to go to force overtime.
If the Heat raise another championship banner to the rafters, perhaps it'll be because LeBron James's hairline got up there first.
As the Field of Dreams saying goes, "If you build it, they will come," and sure enough, the "Big Leagues, Little Bricks" exhibit at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is attracting Lego enthusiasts and die-hard baseball fans in droves. Over 222,000 Lego bricks went into creating the exhibit that's on display now…

UNCDF is the UN's capital investment agency for the world's least developed countries (LDCs). It creates new opportunities for poor people and their communities by increasing access to microfinance and investment capital. UNCDF focuses on Africa and the poorest countries of Asia and the Pacific, with a special commitment to countries emerging from conflict or crisis. It provides seed capital – grants and loans – and technical support to help microfinance institutions reach more poor households and small businesses, and local governments finance the capital investments – water systems, feeder roads, schools, irrigation schemes – that will improve poor peoples' lives.
UNCDF works to enlarge peoples' choices: it believes that poor people and communities should take decisions about their own development. Its programmes help to empower women – over 50% of the clients of UNCDF-supported microfinance institutions are women – and its expertise in microfinance and local development is shaping new responses to food insecurity, climate change and other challenges. UNCDF works in challenging environments – remote rural areas, countries emerging from conflict – and paves the way for others to follow. Its programmes are designed to catalyze larger investment flows from the private sector, development partners and national governments, for significant impact on the Millennium Development Goals, especially Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger, Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women, and Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability.
Established by the General Assembly in 1966 and with headquarters in New York, UNCDF is an autonomous UN organization affiliated with UNDP.
Of the 2.6 billion people who live on less than $2 per day, an estimated 90 percent lack access to formal financial services. As a result, most poor households operate almost entirely in the informal and cash economy. This means that they use cash, physical assets (e.g. jewelry and livestock), or informal institutions (e.g. money lenders and payment couriers) to meet their financial needs – from receiving wage remittances, to saving up to buy fertilizer, to insuring against illness. These informal tools, however, tend to be insecure, expensive, and hard to use. And when large problems arise, such as a major illness in the family, the tools often break down completely, leaving households exposed.
One of the reasons it is too costly to provide poor people formal financial alternatives is because most poor households conduct most or all of their financial transactions in cash. The best way to reduce the costs of reaching poor people with financial services is to help shift the majority of their cash-based financial transactions into digital form through mobile phones or other digital interface. The digitization of cash also creates opportunities for delivering value beyond cost savings.
Electronic payment technologies offer a more effective, efficient, transparent and often safer means of disbursing payments while also promoting financial inclusion and advancing aid effectiveness. Notwithstanding these benefits and success in a few countries, such as Kenya, electronic payment technologies have not been globally adopted especially in countries where a large percentage of the population has no relationship with the formal financial services sector and remains "unbanked".
Through its public-private partnership the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA) will bring together a broad cross section of private sector companies, host country governments, multilateral and bilateral donors, U.N. Agencies and international NGOs to create a global independent alliance. The partners who join the BTC Alliance will demonstrate their shared commitments to:

Walking Dead complete
I finished the autographs and the costumes but it didn't quite feel like it was ready for framing, so I tracked down the Kirkman/Lincoln/Callies/Bernthal photo, and then I couldn't resist the pence custom puzzle piece when I saw it on FeeBay, and the Pence print came with it as a bonus. Very happy with how the final product came out.

mrchipz: I got it done at a local MA chain called Big Picture Framing, but I think any place with a quality staff could do it. My local store has two great employees who really love their work and were super excited the first time I came in with some cards to mount, which made me feel good that they'd want it to look good too. I did a small job first to test them, just a straight mounting for my Firefly autograph set, nothing but the cards which they floated on a background and that's what gave me the idea for this one.
The photo and the two Pence pieces are standard dry mounted mattes with the photos behind the matte, which then serves as the surface for the cards to be mounted around them. I believe they used silicone to attach the card cases which gives them that floating appearance which might be tough to see in the scan. Then I believe the term is shadow-boxing - the outer matte frame is above all of the cards, so there is an additional depth to the whole thing. I may have seriously messed up the terminology as I was just worried about it looking cool but I hope that gets the point across. The price was a bit much - just a hair under $700. But, I got the museum quality glass which added almost $200 to the price. On my Firefly set I went with the middle quality conservation glass, and it really does have a lot of glare even in low room light, so I decided to splurge after all the time and money I spent on collecting the set. And they gave me a 50% off coupon, so my next two sets (Spartacus and LotR) should together cost about the same, which will be nice. |

Definitely will add to the season two set. Also already have the centerpiece planned. Heading to Chicago wizard con in August, got the package for the Bernthal/Reedus autographs, should be able to find a good photo for them to dual-sign.
Rambel, it's nothing special at all, I just went with the floated-mount look in the shadowbox, no logo or any special pieces, but here it is. Definitely not in the same class but I was experimenting, what can I say? You can also very easily see the difference between the medium-tier glass here as you can easily see me reflected in the glass versus the museum quality glass in the other one. |

Also, mf1971999, what was the logic of ordering the cards in the way you did in the display? It looks great but just was wondering. Thanks. Last edited by SerialKilnWalkr; 05-24-2012 at 03:27 PM. |

Posts Tagged 'Justin Timberlake'
Justin Timberlake considers himself a lucky man. Not because of his success career but because he married his best friend.
He went on the Ellen show and he didn't brag about his recent success with The 20/20 Experience (the album has sold enough to be certified double platinum in just under a month!), he gushed about his wife Jessica Biel instead.
He told Ellen, "Every once in a while I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn't see me looking, and I have this moment where I'm like, 'If you never make a good decision . . . if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life. You made one really good decision.' Because she's just like . . . it's nice marry your friend. It's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me."
I know he says he's the lucky one, maybe because he had to kiss a crazy mouse before he found his princess, but I think that she's the one that's truly lucky. Most guys don't talk like that… but maybe he has to since it's TV. My boyfriend possibly would say loving things about me in front of a camera. But there is no camera in our house, just dishes to be done, so he keeps me in my place.
Leave a commentKanye West finally found some time in his busy schedule to get back to New York and be reunited with the one that he truly loves…. Jay-Z!
Well his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian is there in NY working too. He did meet up with her but he looked miserable the whole time they were around until he ran into Jay-Z. He ran up to Jay-Z, grinning from ear-to-ear and wrapped him in a big bear hug.
Jay-Z didn't seem to hold any grudges. The last time that Kanye mentioned Jay-Z, he was dissing him for working with Justin Timberlake. They both seemed very happy to be reunited.
See the very telling pictures HERE.
After their brief manly embrace, Kanye put back on his sulk face and continued to follow Kim around. I don't know why he looked so miserable. This is the first time that Kimye have been seen together in almost three months… He could have at least played happy in front of the cameras.
Kimmy is still all about Kanye though. Sources say that she is miserable because of all the time that she has to spend away from Kanye. She wants to be in Paris with him but she has to stay mostly in LA to fulfill her reality show obligations.
They say that she wants to call the shots in her life but "sadly, she's not able to."
Leave a commentJustin Timberlake released the second music video to his newly released album, The 20/20 Experience. The music video is to his song Mirrors, which he actually dedicated the whole thing to his grandparents and it ties into his marriage to Jessica Biel. How sweet!
BUT, in the music video it seems like there is some kind of love affair! Does that mean that J.T.'s grandparents weren't faithful in their youth?
The beginning of the video is basically the story of his grandparents and how they met and grew old together, and ends with Justin dancing around a room full of mirrors with half naked women…
Check out the video and see if you're a big fan of it too!
Leave a commentMove over Jay-Z! Justin Timberlake has a new duet partner.
He confirmed in an interview that he's going to be recording a duet with Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons! They are recording it for one of his upcoming movies, Inside Llewyn Davis. JT stars beside Marcus' wife Carey Mulligan in the movie.
Justin said, "Marcus and myself, we all kind of worked on the music together and I don't know any other world where we would get the opportunity to collaborate like that but it was so much fun. Not only will that be a great movie, but the music to it will be fantastic."
Can your ears even handle that much greatness?
Leave a comment
Justin Timberlake came out of musical retirement to make this album, The 20/20 Experience. The album doesn't come out until next Tuesday but you don't have to wait. The whole album is streaming on iTunes.
It isn't broken up into individual tracks but Justin says that's because he intended for people to listen to it straight through. He said, "It's not so much a narrative or a story, but sonically we really made it to listen from top to bottom."
Listen HERE. Likey or not so much?

Workshops reposition agro-dealers as farming experts
Alongside studies demonstrating that knowledge is the greatest factor in raising agricultural output and farmer incomes, an international agricultural organisation has launched a three-year initiative training agro-dealers as agricultural experts to take up the traditional role of the country's overstretched Agricultural Extension Officers (AEO).
The programme has so far trained 500 agro-dealers from 20 districts.Currently the ratio of farmers to AEOs in Kenya is over 1200 farmers to 1 extension officer. "But it could be higher than that," said Philip Karuri the Project Coordinator with the International Centre for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development (IFDC) the body overseeing the new training initiative, dubbed the Extended Agro Dealer Networks (EADN).
IFDC targeted Agro-Dealers as "they are the first contact with farmers," said Karuri. The eight IFDC trainers are training the agro-dealers in the quality certified hybrid seeds to stock and farming conditions conducive for the seeds to yield bumper harvests. The dealers also learn how to treat, store and package their seeds and other farm inputs so they don't degrade through exposure to moisture.
The dealers are also trained in the right crop protection products to sell and how they are likely to benefit the farmers buying them. They also learn how to safely handle the chemicals they pass onto farmers. The 3-day training also links the agro-dealers with financial institutions such as Equity Bank to ease their access to credit facilities to restock.
In parallel, IFDC in conjunction with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has launched a set of projects to assess the impact that greater knowledge has on outputs on earnings.
The projects hold crop demonstrations, and have been focussed particularly on semi arid areas. "We choose a crop that has the best impact in that area," said Karuri.
In parts of semi-arid Mukurweini an initiative from 2009 to 2010 doubled maize yields, following from demonstrations on 1 acre plots that initially produced 0.72 tonnes.
In Ndaragwa Nyandarua North, IFDC facilitated potato farmers in getting quality certified potato varieties Asante and Tigoni from Njoro Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) and supported growers on the right seed varieties to plant, the correct timing and measure of chemicals, and furrowing and hilling techniques for the growing plants. Farmers who had been averaging yields of 5.5 tonnes an acre got yields of between 6.7 to 9.5 tonnes in the following season.
IFDC is also working with various agricultural technology stakeholders to introduce new farming aides such as soil testing kits, new seeds and fertilizers. In Mwea rice fields, last year, they introduced urea super granules, a kind of fertilizer that has increased rice yields by 22 to 25 percent for Bangladeshi rice farmers.
Instead of the conventional spraying of urea on rice, one granule the size of a sweet is placed on the wet ground between four rice stems, in what is termed Urea Deep Placement (UDP) Technology. It reduces the amount of urea fertiliser needed for spraying by 47 per cent, cutting waste and pollution, and with huge results Bangladesh, where in 2009 UDP cut the country's imports by 50,000 metric tonnes, saving $22 million, according to Farming First.
EADN is seeking to familiarise the trained agro-dealers with this and similar technologies, and also training trainers, in order to accelerate the process. From the 20 workshops so far, the project organisers calculate the expanded knowledge and techniques have already had an impact on more than 2100 farmers.
To facilitate the EADN workshops, IFDC works with District Agricultural Officers who invite the agro dealers to the forums they organise. "They are free," said Karuri, the only cost being Sh200 for the certificate.

Gregory: Motivation's lacking after London
CALLOUSES and scars mark the hands of Olympic Champion Alex Gregory, and they will not have much of a chance to heal before the Cheltenham-born oarsman rows for gold at Rio in four years' time.
After taking a well-deserved rest following his London 2012 exertions, Gregory and the rest of the Team GB squad have been gradually returning to their punishing training schedule.
Gregory admits that returning to action after his longest break from a boat for 13 years has been tough on the hands, body but most of all the mind.
Having achieved his life's ambition when striking gold at London 2012 – and after dedicating so much time and mental energy to doing just that – he is struggling to look ahead.

Contact: 01858 468192
Valid until: Friday, May 31 2013
Speaking at this week's Gloucestershire Media Sports Awards with his gold medal at his side, Gregory was refreshingly honest when saying that training has been a struggle.
"It's a different motivation now and to be honest I've not found that yet," he admitted.
"I was always going to carry on rowing and I am still fairly young in the sport. It was never a question of stopping, but it's going to be a very different type of motivation from now on.
"It was really, really easy to motivate myself to get that first Olympic gold and to get it on home ground as well.
"But now it's not as simple as just wanting it again. I am going to have to find some reserves from deep down to want something that much again."
But if the former Richard Pate Primary and Bredon Hill Middle School pupil is struggling for that all important motivation he has a wealth of people who can help him.
London crew-mates Andy Hodge, Tom James and county compatriot Pete Reed all scooped their second gold medal at London 2012, while coach Jurgen Grobler has plotted successful Olympic campaigns for over 40 years.
Gregory said that he has had a long chat with Team GB's German coaching mastermind in the past few days as he was keen to know what kept him coming back for more.
"I have been talking to Jurgen a lot about motivation and about what spurs him to keep coming back," Gregory said.
"For him it's all about helping other people to repeat their successes and I guess that it's the same thing for us.
"It's actually very easy to do it once, but it's far from easy to keep doing it again and again.
"Pete, Tom and Andy have all done it twice and I will certainly be using their experiences and asking them for advice.
"I know the slate has been wiped clean and there is a group of really talented guys who have replaced the guys who have retired.
"There's people like me who are staying on and striving for that same success and are really enthusiastic about their training.
"So I know that I have got to get back and motivate myself to do better in everything that I do to save my seat.
"Jurgen always says that there are no names on seats and there won't be for some time yet. So we all have to prove ourselves all over again."
And if the 28-year-old does ever see his motivation flagging he has the perfect antidote lying in wait at home in three-year-old son Jasper.
Gregory said that handing his son his London medal was without doubt the proudest moment of his Olympic adventure, even if it was met with a humorous rebuff.
But he also said that with Jasper sure to remember Rio more than he will London, Gregory is doubly keen his son has more golden moments to cherish – even if the first one didn't go down too well at the time.
Gregory said: "Half an hour after I was awarded the medal I passed it over to him – It was the proudest moment ever for a father to give that to my son.
"But he looked at it and said, 'that's not chocolate' and he threw it straight on the floor.
"But seriously, looking ahead it will be a big motivation to go to Rio knowing that he'll be old enough to know what's going on.
"It's an immensely proud moment for me to hand my medal over to him, and for him to take it in to school for show and tell and for him be proud of his dad.
"But he'll remember Rio. He won't remember much of London and that will definitely be a motivation for me going forward."

Lipo Without Exercise Increases The Deposit Of Dangerous Belly Fat Post-Surgery
Are you considering having liposuction to whittle down your waistline? Youll want to hear this. You have to start exercising within 2 months of your surgery and never stop doing it. Or your body will start storing dangerous belly fat around your internal organs. And even if the fat doesnt show on the outside, it can really hurt your health.
Researchers studied women who had abdominal lipo, but who didnt change their diet.
The result: Those who didnt get regular exercise saw an increase in visceral belly fat. Which can lead to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that include high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, and insulin resistance. A one-two-three punch that raises your risk for heart disease. But those who began strength and aerobic training within 2 months of surgery - and did it 3 times a week - saw no increase in belly fat. In fact, the exercisers showed a decrease in the total amount of fat throughout their entire body.
So, why does lipo without exercise increase the deposit of dangerous belly fat post-surgery? There are a couple of theories. One, because people recovering from surgery often take it easy, so theyre burning a lot fewer calories.
Also, because the lipod area has been traumatized, and has no more fat cells to fill up, the body has to find another place to store the fat its manufacturing.
Either way, if you want to get surgically thinner and stay healthy make sure you get regular exercise.

Jenni Rivera Missing After Suspected Plane Crash In Mexico (UPDATE: Plane Found, No Survivors)
A small plane carrying Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera went totally missing early this morning after it fell off the radar. AP (via HuffPo) says that after performing at a show in Monterrey, Mexico, Jenni, two pilots and four others all got on a small plane headed for Toluca. The plane took off at around 3:30 am and flew about 62 miles before it lost contact with radar. The U.S. Learjet 25 was supposed to land in Toluca at 4:40 am, but it didn't.
Mexican officials say that several helicopters are searching for the plane now. Jenni's publicist was also on the jet and he tweeted pictures from her show last night, before they got on the plane.
43-year-old Jenni was born in Long Beach and lives in Encino, CA with her 5 children. Jenni has sold almost 15 million records worldwide and is also the star of the reality show I Love Jenni. Jenni recently just signed a deal with ABC for her own sitcom. Jenni's had a whole lot of escandalosoness in her life. After she filed for divorce from her husband two years ago, he was accused of having an affair with her daughter. Her daughter denied it.
This doesn't look good at all, but hopefully La Gran Senora is fine and will be pouring beer on the heads of young girls for years to come.
UPDATE: Officials say they found the wreckage of the crashed plane and there were no survivors. The crash was apparently so intense and hard that there's pieces of the plane scattered all over the place. Two pilots, Jenni Rivera, Jenni's make-up artist Jacob Yebale, her lawyer and her manager were all on board. Here's the last known picture of Jenni that was tweeted by Jacob Yebale before the plane took off:
Rest in peace.
And now I'll go and console some of my family members by pouring a beer over their heads, because they are probably losing their minds over this news.

Oh man. Sh was planning for a big English crossover (she was working on an album for 2013, from what I heard). This is so awful. I was really hoping for better news, especially this time of year. Her family must be devastated.
I am such a freak about car accidents and plane crashes. I've lost too many people to the former and the fact that you can do nothing but sit there and be horrified in a plane gives me the heebie jeebies. I just feel sick to my stomach when I know someone died in a horrible way and they were fearful in the end.
That is a wonderful, beautiful last image for their loved ones, I'm sorry the crew's duties had them elsewhere because one day when they agony is so very slightly less those left with the loss of these folks can look at those lovely, happy and joyous expressions and remember the happiness, sense of fun, and obvious good humour they're radiating.
RIP to every one of the passengers & crew.

Good God what a big bottomed woman:
Hard to imagine that could remain hidden from helicopters.
Should have rented a cargo plane instead.
I also recognize one of the guys. He was a reporter. :-(.
Whatever issues she had in her personal life, she still tried to give back as a spokesperson against domestic violence. I can relate to the shock of losing a loved one suddenly, so I feel for these folks' children and family. Peace to them during such a difficult time.
Never heard of her, but sad nonetheless. I can't remember who brought up Jim Croce earlier, but he was so gifted and one of my favorites (don't judge). Who the fuck do I have to blow around here to get a Santa hat on my Nancy?

I never saw the video you are referring to but I agree the pic is pretty creepy. Too bad no one had some Final Destination type of vision before the flight took off.
It's an eerie video because she's so calm and serene while driving, and then she inexplicably veers off the road and the camera turns off.
This is really sad! Her poor kids, you only get one mother, and now she's gone. The best case scenario--that their plane crashed head on into a mountain, and they were completely unaware of what was about to happen.

I never saw the video you are referring to but I agree the pic is pretty creepy. Too bad no one had some Final Destination type of vision before the flight took off.
Yes a very terrible way to go. Like someone has already said I love flying...it's just the crashing into a million pieces part that I hate.

Is this our unofficial OP? Well, condolences to this woman's family and all, but here goes this.
Which one of you works at Chilli D's?
Wow what a dumbass. Didn't that guy realize the name would show up on the receipt?

It really bothers me to see pictures of people right before they die. You don't sense when death is coming. It's like that video of Lisa "Left-Eye" driving the car seconds before her fatal car crash. Sad.

No, one of the guys on the flight tweeted the photo before the plane took off.

PHM, just a skiff. Said to Whamo there might be more through the week but don't trust weather forecasts, so who knows. You guys sound like you got lots! BaconSlut is already starting the first snowball fight.
OnT: No reason for them to be with her but what a miracle none of her kids were with her. We haven't heard about the others much but how tragic for their families as well. :(

Sad for her children, Christmas time will never be the same for them.
So is this the picture of them in the plane before it crashed?
@Gem she was actually like a a Kardashian except she coudd sing, she became famous because her brother is also a singer, she had a sex tape, bad record with men and Classless. Please call me when Chabelo dies then I would cry a river, sadly this was a very horrible way to go :s for her and the people on the plane! But believe me. She was no martyr, tough life, terrible way to die

Damn that's sad. Reminds me of when Aaliyah's plane went down. There were pictures of her and the crew smiling and carefree just minutes before the plane went down. To be so full of life only for it to be snuffed out moments later.
May they rest in peace.

Sad. Plane crashes have always terrified me because it's one of the worst ways to go. You aren't prepared for it at all and the passengers have time for nothing but panic from the malfunction to the eventual fatal crash.
I'm hoping that maybe they were all sleeping since the flight was early in the a.m.
Hey Within! Do you have any snow where you live yet?
This is very sad. I'm not familiar with Jennifer nor her story. But my heart goes out to the families, friends, and fans as well as those on board the plane.
Bacon that is so hilarious and awesome. I wish they would broadcast him in Duluth..need to liven up our news stations.
Although a few years back our meteorologist had a stalker chase him out of town, and then came back..only to leave again. So sad.
Hi Withy! *playing a bit of catch up* :)
