It's the No. 1 rule in bodybuilding: Don't short-change yourself on your protein powder intake. Why? Protein promotes muscle synthesis and growth before, during and after a workout. It also provides recovery and immune system benefits, ramps up energy and enhances metabolism. Without a doubt, protein is the most valuable element in the bodybuilding equation. As a general rule, you should be eating about 1 gram of quality protein per pound of bodyweight. This is where a quality protein powder literally makes all the difference. Because this macronutrient is essential to every bodybuilder's arsenal, it's no surprise there is an array of protein powder types from which to choose, including whey, soy, egg, casein, milk and beef. Among hardcore athletes, whey protein powder, and in particular, whey isolate, has long been favored for its purity and anabolic power. Studies show that whey isolate protein, found in such powerhouse formulas as ProSource's NytroWhey Ultra Elite, MuscleTech's Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series and Optimum's 100% Gold Standard, is rich in amino acids and other growth factors and is easily digested and utilized by the body. For bodybuilders looking for even-faster alternative protein sources, whey hydrolysate formulations such as BioQuest's MyoZene, for example, spur anabolism almost immediately upon digestion. After taking into account all the powdered protein supplements on the market, it has become increasingly clear that choosing a high quality whey isolate and/or hydrolysate version is your best shot for spurring significant muscle growth.

That's a big pickup, I'm surprised that never showed on my twitter. Not entirely sure how he fits into that guard rotation in Clipperland though, my guess is a diminished Jason Kidd type role.
FYI, I heard Kidd may be out a while :(
Sigh... Rondo gonna be out then. There goes the week :barf:
I hate you Clyde :smokin:
I'm mad bro
My team is showing its full potential this week so far.
I'm looking to trade a F/C for a G. I'm looking for someone of equivalent value. Let me know if you're interested.
You still have Lillard, Seraphin, Gortat and Tristan who can give you 30 FPs/night each. The only players that I know are capable of giving me that many points are Asik and Gasol, rest of my team is always a question mark.

In the interest of trying to advance the discussion back on the topic of Amir, his place on the Raps and how to solidify the bigs while keeping him...I was wondering if people wanted to throw out suggestions for who they would like to see play in that main 3 big rotation? I know some still want a big trade for a guy like Boozer or Gasol. I'm somewhat ok with Gasol for just a year, and less ok with Boozer for 2. I would prefer another role player, a complimentary piece. So I'll start with a few guys I've seen in rumors (not necessarily just Raptors related) or could be free agents this summer, and ranked loosely (mostly just sure about my first and last option) for who I think fits.
1- Ersan Ilyasova (least likely but I think the best option out there. Would probably depend a bit too much on a) the Bucks expecting a worse season next year, and b) the Raps taking Gooden back.). Adds a high quality shooter at one of the team's holes. This is not about replacing Bargs, it's about actual versatility and best fit with JV/Amir. He's a very good rebounder and defender. Has been playing really well for Milwaukee, so I don't know why they would change their mind about him now, unless as a small market, if they don't expect to have a good shot at the playoffs next season, they decide to shed some salary and tank.
2- Carl Landry...who knows..in a trade? if he opts out? He could be an option either way. Adds similar things to Boozer offensively in that he scores at the rim off post moves, and has a solid mid-range jumper. A good rebounder who generally plays with a high motor, but not the most gifted defender, partly due to his lack of length.
3 - Andray Blatche...A season ago I wouldn't have touched this guy with a 10 foot pole, but being in a demanding situation with the Nets, under at tough coach in Johnson (before he was fired), seemed really good for him. Has the tools to play both F and C, so fits well next to JV and Amir. Nice mix of offensive skills, good rebounder, but with him it has always been about attitude/effort and consistency. Hard to judge the market for him given his past. BKL has a massive payroll, and he's unrestricted. Might be worth a gamble, and might be the most worthwhile option aside from Ersan from a talent perspective.
4 - Big Baby Davis...Saw a rumor that he was probably going to be shopped by Orlando as they will fully commit to a rebuild. Brings size, rebounding and decent scoring at the PF spot, be it starting, or preferably off the bench. I'm not his biggest fan, but he would seem to be a good fit next to both JV and Amir. He actually has deep playoff experience as well, though I have no clue what to make of his character.
5 - JJ Hickson...probably the most limited player in skill set, but an athletic beast. Questionable instincts and ball IQ, but can play with a high motor and do a lot of damage hustling on both ends as a space filler and rebounder. Like Blatche, I think very hard to judge his market given the mix of his skill-set not really having expanded and current production being bonkers. Will teams shop for him like a starter or bench player? I think he's a bench player, but we'll see what happens.
These are some less big names, that might be available in Bargs deals, or more importantly, might be options if the Raptors can find a way to have the full MLE to shop with by shedding some dollars before free agency opens up. I think they all could fit well next to JV and Amir, and that's how I tried to rank them, but of course, that's just my opinion/preference. They would all actually be very good bench players, would allow Amir to start next to JV, and many of them add scoring dimensions that could help this team. Thoughts? Other names?

Thank you Pooka. That is why I prefaced my example with "it's an extreme example". My hope was that people would understand that I wasn't necessarily putting Amir in the same category as those potential hall-of-famers. My point was that despite having limitations, players can be very valuable starters. My examples of Rodman and Mutombo were to illustrate the point of great starters who had huge deficiencies in other areas.
That was used as a segway to show that Amir has fewer deficiencies than most people give him credit for. He has a better all-around game than many successful starters throughout the history of the NBA. To say that he isn't starter material without considering the pieces around him would be to neglect the history of the game.
I'm glad that at least Pooka was able to inference the main idea of my post. It's like someone making a point/theme about the Brooklyn Nets, but they mistakenly called them New Jersey Nets--and White Men comes along and completely discredits and overlooks the main idea because of the mistaken city name.
The problem with finding an equivalent to Amir is that he doesn't have that one feature of his game that sets him apart. Some people in this thread say effort, but I (bracing for the hate!) don't really see it...I mean, sure, he doesn't take plays off, but when I think of effort players, I think JYD, Rodman, Garnett, Faried, Matt Barnes, Avery Bradley - guys who you know are on the floor at all times, because they're always mixing it up and always making something happen. I've always found Amir's actual impact on the game to be kind of meh. Average. And replaceable.
Remember that we've all been watching Bargnani for seven years. This might be why Amir's effort seems much more exceptional than it is.
I don't think it has anything to do with watching Bargs. Right now I would put Amir in a category with guys like Gibson, Collison, Ilyasova, Haslem, etc. Those guys have pretty high levels of effort. Amir does not try less than those guys.
2nd bold: To me, though, those guys you just mentioned display average to somewhat-above-average effort. Their effort does not jump out at me. It's almost as if we'll take offensively challenged big guys (Ilyasova excluded) and give them the label of "effort players" just because we need for them to have a defining feature to their game.
Now, Joakim Noah: that's an effort player. And thankfully for us, Jonas is looking like an effort player. I'd even say that about Quincy Acy before I'd say it about Amir.
But I don't wanna be hating about Amir in his own thread. Seems like a good dude, useful rotation player, good contract.
AS for the whole effort thing, sorry, I should've also added that despite the fact that I think Amir brings good effort, I also wouldn't call him an effort guy. I'd call him a glue or utility player. Such guys usually have a high level of awareness and effort, but the defining feature is usually their ability to fill empty spaces on the floor and stat sheet. To duck in at the right times, to roll hard, to keep the ball moving, to be a competent last option on O (to knock down a J or a baby hook, for example), to talk a lot on D, to always try and make your rotation on D....Basically a player who always tries to make the smart/easy play for the team. Amir is such a guy...Fields could be one (especially if he fixes his shot)...I would say that Gibson, Collison, and Ilyasova are such guys as well. So while they may not be "effort" players in terms of level of effort being at that elite pinnacle, the consistency of effort is there, and they couldn't be good utility/glue bigs without it.
Amir doenst have much talent but you take a guy a guy in his position with a high motor over a guy that is just talented.
@White Men Cant Jump
Carl Landry seems the most likely with the possibility of Dalembert Ilyasova will likely be very valuable to the bucks to hold onto as Jennings and Monta said they are not coming back and hate it there openly the team will probably be rebuilding. looking to either keep Ilyasova or sell him high.

-Elton Brand: short, but big/strong enough to guard most Cs and has been a good defender his whole career. Still has a bit of an offensive game, but nothing to depend on. Could be a key vet like when TO first got Willis and Oak (Brand's game does even has some elements of each of theirs').
-Zaza Pachulia: Just an experienced body to back up JV, and a guy who could throw some elbows for us.
-Chris Kaman: possibility especially if things fizzle out on the PF search? Really slow, but sound offensively. Don't really want him, but I can see situations where he ends up on Toronto. Such a liability defensively...like Bargnani, but 10 times worse.
-Ronny Turiaf: if they want to add a physical presence, this is the guy. If they get another athletic/stretch guy at PF, he would be a really good option at backup C, I think. A bruiser with decent intensity. Doesn't bring a lot more talent to the team, but people would really learn to fear the paint if every time they went in they took a hit from either him, JV or Gray.
-Drew Gooden: maybe not the best option, and really more of a F/C, but to match my other post, in the unlikely event they snag Ilyasova, this guy would almost certainly be part of the cost. I always felt kind of "meh" about his game, but at least he produced until this season...I don't know wtf happened to him though, or if it's just from falling off the depth chart with the Bucks' young bigs and trying to unload Dalembert.
fallback options: Nazr Mohammed, Ryan Hollins...I dno't know, lots of big bodies out there. Mozgov...
*Oh yeah, I bolded Jennings and Ellis because there have been so many random reports out there that I find it hard to judge what the outcome will be. I think it's fair to say at least one is gone, maybe both, and if one stays, it's hard to know which one.

hmmm, RaptorReuban had a post directed at me here. I responded, and both have disappeared. What`s up with that
Amir is the man...'nuff said!!
Amir Johnson is the best player on the Raptors. Our off rtg to def rtg differential is +4.2 with him on. It's -9 without him. Considering the fact that he plays a lot of minutes, that stat is ridiculous.
Stop trying to replace Johnson with another PF because he doesn't put up gaudy numbers. Start trying to replace everyone else and build around the one guy who is actually a winner.

65TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIBERATION OF AUSCHWITZ -- (Senate - January 29, 2010)
Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, on January 27, 1945, the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, including Birkenau and other related camps near the Polish city of Oswiecim, was liberated by the Soviet Army. This week, people have gathered at Auschwitz and in many other places to mark the 65th anniversary of that event. I am pleased that President Obama presented a video address in which he underscored--using Elie Wiesel's words--the sacred duty of memory.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was the principal and most notorious of the six death camps built by Nazi Germany to achieve its goal of the mass extermination of the Jewish people of Europe. Built in Nazi-occupied Poland initially as a concentration camp for Poles and later for Soviet prisoners of war, it soon became a prison for a number of other nationalities.
Ultimately, a minimum 1,300,000 people were deported to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945, and of these, at least 1,100,000 were murdered at that camp. An estimated 6 million Jews--more than 60 percent of the pre-World War II Jewish population of Europe--were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators at Auschwitz and elsewhere in Europe. In addition, hundreds of thousands of civilians of Polish, Roma, and other nationalities, including in particular disabled individuals, homosexuals, political, intellectual, labor, and religious leaders, all of whom the Nazis considered `undesirable,' as well as Soviet and other prisoners of war, perished at Auschwitz.
On that day of liberation, 65 years ago, only 7,000 camp prisoners who had passed through the infamous Auschwitz gates, the ones who promised
``Arbeit Macht Frei''--``Work Will Make You Free''--managed to survive the selections, torture, starvation, disease, inhuman medical experiments, and executions that occurred at Auschwitz.
According to a new survey published this week by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE, at least 41 of the OSCE's 56 participating states commemorate the Holocaust with official events. Thirty-three participating states have established official memorial days for Holocaust victims, and January 27 is the official Holocaust Memorial Day in many European countries, including Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. I am deeply gratified that since 2005, the United Nations has also observed January 27 as a day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust. In fact, Auschwitz-Birkenau was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
I personally visited Auschwitz in 2004 and cannot overstate the importance of the Memorial Museum there today in the effort to teach future generations about the Holocaust. The recent theft of the ``Arbeit-Macht-Frei'' sign--which, fortunately, was recovered--has certainly heightened awareness of the need for additional security measures there, and I support the efforts to secure increased funding for the preservation of the Memorial Museum.
Teaching about the Holocaust is an obligation that must be met not only at Auschwitz, but at places where people learn around the globe. As chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, I am deeply concerned by the rise of anti-Semitism and violent extremism in some OSCE participating states. In particular, I am deeply troubled by the continued prevalence of Nazi-era discourse to describe Roma. As Thommas Hammarberg, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, has said:
Even after . . . the Nazi killing of at least half a million Roma, probably 700,000 or more, there was no genuine change of attitude among the majority population towards the Roma.
With this concern in mind, I was pleased to learn that the United Nations invited the OSCE senior advisor for Romani issues, Andrzej Mirga, to participate in the commemoration they organized this year. Sadly, as Mr. Mirga observed, although approximately 23,000 Romani people were sent to Auschwitz, none were among the survivors liberated there 65 years ago.

text: I dont no why everyone says the miami heat ruined the nba by coming to together to make the big 3. The real truth is the boston celtics did this first in 2007. Ever since then all stars have been coming together to make super teams. The Lebron, wade, and bosh only joined forces because none of them could individually defeat the celtics. Kevin Garnett is a hypocryte because he doesnt like the heat cuz of them joining together. He did that first in BOSton. So every1 shud stop saying that the heat ruined the nba,it was the celtics.

There is now a bit of a log jam at the wing, while the PG position is looking particularly thin.
I say the Raps look to move both Bargnani and Derozan.... we could also throw in Kleiza... and look to get shorter term bad contracts, a back-up point guard and draft picks back. The key being getting the high draft picks.

Now knee-deep in the
smart phone industry, Google has gained much in terms of experience.
While the first
implementations of Android saw some mild enthusiasm, multi-touch
ready Android 2.0 handsets like the Motorola
Droid, available on Verizon in the U.S., are gaining
even more traction. One key to why Google's experiment has
worked -- somewhat -- is that most of the hardware it uses is
high-end enough so that cross-platform apps are feasible.
in a surprising decision the company is reportedly preparing to

carefully to see how this one develops.

This is love
Valentine's Day is an occasion to show love, but it's also a time to recognize love that's already been demonstrated. In honor of today, Rich Stearns, president of World Vision U.S., writes about the many ways we show love — to each other and around the world — and how he's inspired again and again by the amazing love of our supporters!
I was on my game this year. A full two weeks ago, I had Valentine's Day dinner reservations in place at not one but two restaurants — in case I needed a back-up plan. Now, why would I do this?
As any couple knows, Valentine's Day is about more than just saying "I love you" — it's about showing our love. In school, children pass out cards. Romantic partners exchange flowers, chocolate, or jewelry. Husbands and wives develop their own traditions, sending each other poetry or perhaps going away for the weekend.
Showing your love, of course, doesn't have to include doing traditionally romantic things. For some people, cooking a meal, doing yard work, or building a bookshelf can be ways of demonstrating how we feel about someone we love.
It's the thought that counts, we say. But the thought doesn't mean much unless we do something to demonstrate it. Love needs to take action in order to be made known.
That is what so many World Vision supporters do; they demonstrate love for people in need every day. While you may be celebrating this Valentine's Day by picking up flowers and candy, I want to celebrate by thanking you for the love you show to children around the world. You are working with us to build a better world, one in which every child can grow up safe and healthy and able to reach their full potential, knowing the love of God. You are showing what love means.
This is just what the apostle John wrote about:
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (1 John 3:16-18)
God's love for us compels us to demonstrate that love to anyone in need. I am so fortunate to see this kind of love at work among World Vision supporters.
Just last week, I received a letter from a child sponsor. She had received a letter from me to our child sponsors asking for extra support. I'm well aware that not everyone appreciates letters like this, so her response genuinely surprised me. "Never stop asking [for money] with shameless audacity," she wrote. "You are asking on behalf of the global need of people who are just as much God's beloved children as those of us who have plenty." She continued, "I will GLADLY increase my pledge, and I will never cease to be a partner to you in caring for God's beloved."
I'll admit, I wasn't expecting that! But that is love.
Donna Galli is another supporter who demonstrated this kind of love. Several years ago, she was sponsoring a child, but learned through her letters that the child's mother needed encouragement. "I was the single mother of three children for a long time," she said, "and I clearly remembered the struggles I had. So I thought the least I can do is let her know that she is valuable and that God loves her." Over the years, Donna poured out encouragement through letter after letter to an Ethiopian mother. Donna provided extra support at a crucial time and changed the life of a woman halfway around the world.
That is love.
I am constantly inspired by this daily demonstration of love from World Vision supporters. You allow us to share your outpouring of love with others around the world. For so many people living without clean water, adequate food, or economic opportunities, you are making every day a Valentine's Day.
Pour out your love to children around the world with us. Consider sponsoring a child today!

When Samsung isn't making rapid advances in the
area of memory technology, it's looking for ways to improve display technology. Samsung announced it developed the world's slimmest mobile
LCD screen in November. The 0.82 mm thick screen featured a QVGA resolution and a 500:1
contrast ratio. Today, Samsung is showing off the world's first truly
double-sided LCD which can produce independent
images on either side of the display.
Only a reverse of the
original image data can be displayed on the opposing side with conventional double-sided LCDs. With Samsung's
double-gate, TFT design, the LCD features two gates which operate each pixel
instead of just one. This is what allows Samsung to produce two independent
images. Amorphous Silicon Gate (ASG) technology also allows Samsung to manage
the increase in TFT gates without a subsequent increase in driver ICs.
One backlight is shared between the two LCDs. The front LCD
is transmissive and the opposing screen is reflective (which allows it to
capture some of the light from the main screen). In its current form, Samsung's
double-sided LCD is 2.6mm thick with a QVGA resolution. Brightness levels
register at 250 nits for the front panel and 100 nits for the back panel.
"Our new double-sided mobile display underscores
Samsung's commitment to equip our customers with advanced display technology
that accelerates the trend toward slimmer mobile products. We anticipate high
demand when we commence mass production in the first half of 2007," said
Samsung Executive Vice President Yun Jin-hyuk.

INTERPOL conference hears fingerprint technology advances key in combating transnational crime
LYON, France – Using advances in technology to more effectively share biometric data is key in effectively combating all forms of transnational crime, delegates at the 7th INTERPOL Symposium on fingerprints heard.
A key theme of the three-day meeting (25 – 27 April), which brought together some 150 delegates from 51 countries was interoperability and for law enforcement to take advantage of technological developments to maximise the opportunities of identifying fugitives throughout the world.
Addressing the meeting, Executive Director of Police Services Jean-Michel Louboutin highlighting the new tools and standards developed by INTERPOL to receive and treat fingerprint data from member countries even more rapidly.
"The evolution of fingerprint technology is one of the fastest growing, most reliable and effective ways of identifying criminals, especially those trying to evade justice," said Mr Louboutin.
"It is also an area where public and private sector cooperation is essential in order to continue this development and achieve the successes we have been seeing.
"However, these results can only be maintained and improved on through the increased sharing of fingerprints at a global level and here INTERPOL plays a unique and vital role for all of its 190 member countries," concluded Mr Louboutin, adding that since the previous fingerprint symposium in 2010, the number of fingerprints stored in INTERPOL's database had increased by 30 per cent to more than 160,000, and in the same time 2,800 identifications had been made.
Combating maritime piracy was also highlighted as an area where INTERPOL's tools can bring added value, with several Somali pirates identified after the Seychelles sent their fingerprints to the General Secretariat headquarters, and comparison with marks already in the database, enabled their identification as being wanted by Belgium and India.
Head of INTERPOL's fingerprint unit, Mark Branchflower encouraged delegates to promote greater use of INTERPOL's Automated Fingerprint Identification System which provides instant access to the organization's central global fingerprints database.

So I have seen a bunch of articles all stating that we are doing so great without the two of them in the lineup.
However I think it has more to do with ONE of them being out of the lineup. Bargnani, was a ball stopping long two taking chucker thus far this season.
Lowry has a tendancy to play hero ball and gamble on passing lanes.
I believe Lowry will be able to adjust his game far easier than Bargnani will.
I still think Lowry has a place as the starting PG on this team.
What do you guys think?
Is it one causing the grief or both? Do you think one will adjust easier coming back than the other?

GS have a nice starting five but they don't really have any depth outside of SF, and i don't see Curry or Bogut playing a full season.
GS have a nice starting five but they don't really have any depth outside of SF, and i don't see Curry or Bogut playing a full season.
Just realizing how huge GSW's inside-outside game is with that starting line-up. 2 above average to great post-players and 3 outside threats.
My thoughts
I went to bed early last night, disappointed in the evenings results
I was highly hyped for last evening mainly from the chatter on this board.
This morning upon reflection I have no issues with last evening. It was fun to think about the possibilities that could happen. But reality........ I find it easy to believe there was nothing else there for us last night and am glad no move was forced.
At the end of season press conference both BC and DC indicated we wanted to add shooters and to pick up the pace. Ross fits that bill. Was there anyone drafted after eight who fit that mold better?
If Acie is a younger Reggie bring him on. I loved Reggie's game. This would be consistent with Casey's intentions to have the Raptors be a tough team to play against.
An overseas big man? Sure. There is no room for another rookie on this team. We now have possibly three. Big men take longer to develop. They are harder to find. It is a good idea to have one in Europe.
I will allow myself to get hyped for the next two days. Bring on the trade rumors.
I'd rather do a complete rebuild, the way teams like Oklahoma have done and how Toronto is finaly going about it (yes the lottery luck has been terrible, but the strategy has been solid). Just think how much better Washington would be long-term if they had kept Lewis' contract and either traded it at the deadline or let it expire, while having at least one more terrible season that resulted in a top-8 pick in next year's draft being added to the core of Wall, Beal and Vesseley?
Give me Washington's starting 5 over Golden States any day of the week. I don't see GS as a 50 win team with that roster. Curry and Bogut are huge question marks to stay healthy, and Lee is a rich mans Kris Humphries.
Nene is a qualit posty player and has a few good years of play in his prime and Okafor can still get you close to 10, 10 with a block shot. He's a solid defender. I know that Nene is just in the second year of his contract, but isn't Okafor's contract coming off the books sooner than later? Also Washington has some good players coming off the bench. I think they can make some noise in the East and bulid on what they have going forward.
I like the pick. It's just a shame that the five perimeter players that we would have chosen ahead of Ross were gone by the time the 8th pick rolled around. I don't think I've seen so many bigs fall in the draft like that before (Drummond, Sullinger, Jones, etc.). If just one had been picked earlier.
There is one thing that Quincy Acy does better that Reggie Evans (the player he's most compared to), and that's free throws. Acy shot 78% this year and he took 4.6 free throws a game. Our big man rotation is pretty deep now.

I'm actually digging Ross over Barnes
Last edited by theycallmeZZ; Fri Jun 29th, 2012 at 01:37 PM.
what was it?
One thing you can say about Colangelo is that he didn't make his decisions based on popular opinion, which can be a problem for a GM that is looking for a long-term contract. If he had wanted to please fans who have mostly not seen any of the draft prospects play or work out, he could have probably traded back a fair way and taken someone like Lamb or Harkness or Marshall. He obviously felt strongly that none of those were in the same class as Ross. Time will tell, but I like that he stuck with his convictions rather than taking the easy way. He could also have chosen Quincy Miller over Acy, but he must have felt that Miller just wouldn't put it together. Again, he might be wrong, but he didn't take the easy route just to please fans for a few hours and days.
haha awesome
And apparently Acy and Bosh played on the same AAU team, where the coach made any good players wear number 4.

A man who blew off his fingers while toying with bombs in Rico faces a federal indictment on explosives charges.
A grand jury has indicted Douglas Markey, 58, on charges related to transporting explosives. The details of the indictment were not released to the public or news media as of Friday.
Markey lost fingers and caused an evacuation in Rico on July 8, 2011, when a bomb he made went off. He raised alarm in the town when he drove his pickup to a Rico gas station and stumbled out of the cab, his arm bloody. He was taken by helicopter to Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Authorities closed Colorado Highway 145 through Rico for several hours while a bomb squad robot from Farmington named Woody searched his truck.
It is unknown why it has taken so long to file a case, but Markey has been in trouble with the law in Albuquerque during the last year.
He is currently facing federal charges for possessing a firearm despite being a felon.
An agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives caught Markey with a gun in June 2012 while investigating a complaint by a woman who said Markey burned her by turning her stun gun into a firebomb.
The woman said Markey had been using her for money, according to an affidavit by ATF Special Agent Ruben Chavez. Markey told her he was an electrician who could fix her Taser.
She found the Taser on her front step one morning in a plastic Walmart bag. When she pressed the button to test it, the stun gun burst into flames and burned her left hand.
Markey had a previous felony conviction on explosives charges from Dolores County in April 2000. He served three years on probation.


text: Caught a bit of Demar, Sonny & Jarrett on Ustream last night, just hanging out I believe in Sonny's Condo. While it was pretty cool to see these guys relax and chill on their own time, I felt a bit uneasy as to what might transpire. Jack was playing Madden a foot away from a 50" TV and when they zoomed in on him , his eyes were a bit smaller than usual with no emotion, more than a few viewers commented that he was high as hell. Also Sonny's brother was dancing around the whole time and at one point gave someone in the chat room the finger for a comment, and there was another instance where a 'gay slur' was used. I know these guys are human and I know they have a right to do what they want away from the court, but for some reason I don't think this type of webcast is a good idea at the moment and I can see it maybe getting out of control on occasion. All it takes is for some viewer to post " Jarret Jack high.... " on the internet and a big snowball would start rolling. While I enjoyed some of the random, crazy actics, I think this type of forum could be used more to interact with the fans and maybe answer some questions and talk about basketball stuff and life stuff. Maybe i'm wrong, but I just wanted it to stop before someone did something really outrageous and cause for concern.

[Video] Jason thanks his mother for his education
Jason was a sponsored child from Vida Nueva, a World Vision program in Costa Rica. The community completed its 15-year process in 2012. Challenged to make a video about education, Jason decided to interview his mother, thanking her for the opportunities she has worked to give him.
Jason is part of an impoverished family. His mother used to prepare pastries at a traditional bakery to support her children. Jason has one brother and one sister. He used to be shy, but not anymore. Like many other kids, he received support from World Vision with school kits, clothing, and other assistance. However, beyond those things, Jason took part in many different workshops, seminars, and activities on children's and adolescents' rights, aiming to prevent exploitation and abuse, and to exercise participation. Eight children's forums and six local rallies, among many other activities, provided children and adolescents from Vida Nueva with spaces and opportunities to grow, participate, express themselves, and share with others. Several children, including Jason, decided to make videos about education. They chose the locations, the people, and the questions they were going to ask. You can see Jason's interview here:
Jason had the opportunity to travel to Ecuador to participate in a Ministry Integrated Regional Meeting, where he explained and showed the video. He has truly become a young leader of his community. In addition, he has taken part in national children's network meetings and national arena discussions. Currently, he is in high school and working to learn English, because he wants to study electromechanical engineering. In addition, he is learning to make videos by himself.

You will also have the opportunity to develop a personal, lasting relationship with your sponsored child through cards and letters.

Although the Zune has cooled off a bit in sales since its
November 14 debut, Microsoft still expects to have shipped
more than 1 million units within its first seven months of availability.
The expectations are pretty modest on the part of Microsoft and could reflect
some trepidation over what Apple has in store for the first half of 2007.
"We're forecasting just over 1 million units for the
fiscal year. We feel pretty good about that number," said Zune marketing
director Jason Reindorp.
The Zune launched with quite a bang
(for a new player on the market with little to no brand recognition) managing
to capture 9% of the market during its first week on the market according to
NDP Group. Interest in the Zune has cooled off considerably since its launch as
the Zune's market share has dwindled down to 2%.
Research firm IDC is forecasting that 21.5 million hard
drive-based music players will be sold in 2006 with the Zune contributing
500,000 units to the figure. Microsoft itself projects that it will have 10% to
15% of the 30GB or larger music player market by June of 2007.
Microsoft also noted that a firmware update is on the way
for the Zune. The new firmware will include compatibility updates to allow the
Zune to function in Windows Vista, general bug fixes and performance tweaks.
There will, however, be no additional features included in the update.
So for those of you that were expecting to get expanded WiFi
functionality, you will be disappointed...at least for now. "It is
plumbing stuff, but it is stuff customers will notice and appreciate. It's not
going to be a whole new wireless scenario or anything like that," said
Reindorp. CNET reports:
also needs to expand how the Zune's Wi-Fi can be used, probably to allow a
direct connection for downloading music from Microsoft directly to the Zune.
Gartenberg notes, however, that such a connection is tricky to engineer in a
way that is still easy to use on a device that has no keyboard.
Microsoft also needs to push out a flash-based player to
allow the Zune to gain more traction in the marketplace. According to Jupiter
Research analyst Michael Gartenberg, flash-based players like the iPod Nano are
unstoppable this holiday season. "There is no flash Zune at a time when
the (iPod) Nano is just flying off the shelves. Those are the things they are
going to have to address in 2007 if they are going to be a credible

The Federal Communications Commission on Friday approved
AT&T Inc.'s $86 billion acquisition of BellSouth Corporation, making it the
largest telecoms merger in U.S. history.
The completion of the BellSouth acquisition comes after an
extensive review process which included approval by or filings with 36 states,
the U.S. Department of Justice and the FCC, as well as with three foreign
countries. In order to receive bipartisan FCC approval, AT&T volunteered to make broadband access increasingly
affordable and available to consumers and to support public safety.
Through a combination of technologies, AT&T is committed to making broadband services
available to 100 percent of residential
living units in it's 22-state local-phone-service territory by the end of 2007. Additionally,
AT&T will offer a stand-alone broadband service for $19.95 as well as
other offers to encourage broadband adoption by those who do not currently
The transaction also consolidates ownership and management
of Cingular Wireless and Yellowpages.com. AT&T will immediately integrate and converge AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular wireless and
wire line Internet Protocol networks, combine product portfolios and integrate
customer care capabilities. The new company also plans to expand the reach of
broadband access in remote and rural locations in the traditional BellSouth
"AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular have led in
developing and deploying many of the communications services that customers
depend on today, including broadband DSL and wireless technologies," said
AT&T Chairman and CEO Edward E. Whitacre Jr. "Moving forward, AT&T
will work to integrate these services for customers in the Southeast, across
the country and around the world."
AT&T will launch new advertising which will begin the transition of the BellSouth brand name to AT&T in the coming days. AT&T will re-brand Cingular through a co-branded transition which is scheduled to start in 2007. Details regarding the Cingular branding will be announced at a later date. Yellowpages.com will not undergo a name or Web site address change.
AT&T's corporate headquarters will remain in San
Antonio. The new AT&T Southeast (formerly BellSouth Corporation) and
Cingular will continue to be based in Atlanta.
Stockholders of the former BellSouth received 1.325 shares
of AT&T common stock for each common share of BellSouth. Based on
AT&T's closing stock price on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006 this exchange ratio
equaled $47.04 per BellSouth common share. Since the merger was announced, the
market price of AT&T shares has risen 26.83 percent and BellSouth shares
have increased 48.76 percent. BellSouth's common stock and debt securities will be immediately delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in connection with the completion of the acquisition
AT&T plans to repatriate 3,000 jobs currently outsourced
by BellSouth outside the United States as well as to make its disaster-recovery
capabilities available to facilitate the restoration of services in
the former BellSouth region in the event of a hurricane or other natural
"These commitments reflect our long history of
providing consumers and businesses with the most advanced and affordable
communications services," said Whitacre. "We can't wait to show
people what the new AT&T can do."
The Communications Workers of America believe the
merger of AT&T and BellSouth will promote increased investment and
build-out of high-speed networks that are critical to the region's economic
growth and the nation's position in the global economy. CWA President Larry
Cohen said the merger agreement included real commitments by AT&T-BellSouth
for an expanded build-out of both higher speed Internet services and DSL, an
important step forward in bringing the full promise of the Internet to areas
that have been passed by.
"Workers at BellSouth know that the future of
communications and their own future is in the build-out of high-speed
telecommunications services. This merger will help provide the resources to
make this possible, and at the same time, should help create quality
jobs," said Noah Savant, CWA's vice president for the Southeast and
BellSouth territory. "Of course we remain concerned about the net effect
on jobs within the region for frontline employees and the services we provide.
We are pleased to see AT&T commitment to bringing thousands of support jobs
back to the United States," Savant added.
The U.S. has fallen to 16th in the world in terms of
availability and access to high-speed Internet services. The availability and
benefits of the Internet should be universal, but residents in rural
communities, low-income urban areas and other communities don't have high-speed
access and are at a growing disadvantage.
High-tech innovation and job growth, advances in telemedicine, distance learning, improving public safety and e-government all are possible and in fact routine in much of the world. In the United States, however, current speed standards are not sufficient to
support these kinds of services, Larry Cohen said. "The build-out of true
high-speed networks requires a huge investment of tens of billions of dollars
and the AT&T-BellSouth merger will begin to provide the resources to do
this," he added. Cohen also stressed that CWA strongly supports an open
Internet "where consumers can go where they want, when they want. Nothing
should be done to degrade or block access to websites," he said.

The promise of fast access speeds has lured many enthusiasts over to SSDs already. Maximum capacity is doubling every year, and costs are dropping due to new process technologies being introduced.
One of the most important target markets for SSD manufacturers is enterprise customers. They are demanding the fastest access speeds possible, whatever the cost. SSDs are often used in a tiered storage scenario, replacing short-stroked 15k RPM mechanical hard disk drives. Even though SSDs are expensive in terms of cost per gigabyte, they offer the greatest performance return for servers due to their fast access times and read/write rates. Power and cooling requirements are also greatly reduced.
OCZ recently launched their Vertex EX series of SSDs in order to compete in this lucrative market, but SSDs are already starting to be limited by the SATA interface. Companies like Fusion-IO, which counts Steve Wozniak on its Board of Directors, have faced the problem by using the PCI-Express interface, which is available using 1, 4, 8, and 16 lane slots on most motherboards.
Super Talent recently announced its RAIDDrive SSD with up to 2TB of storage, but won't be available until June. It uses an x8 PCI-E slot to achieve read speeds of up to 1.2 GB/s, far exceeding the 300 MB/s design limit of the SATA 2.0 specification.
OCZ will compete against the RAIDDrive with its own Z-Drive SSD using a PCI-E 2.0 x4 slot. It will feature a combined 256MB cache managed with an onboard RAID controller. Capacities of 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB will be offered. Maximum read and write speeds vary for each model in the series, although the maximum sustained write speed will be limited to 200 MB/s for all Z-Drives. Random read and write speeds were not made available.
While weighing only 500 grams, the Z-Drive will also save space for power users already looking to RAID Vertex drives. It has a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of 900,000 hours along with a 2 year warranty.
"It is our goal to deliver tailored SSD solutions for the complete spectrum of high performance applications," said Eugene Chang, Vice President of Product Management for the OCZ Technology Group.
"Designed for ultra high performance consumers, the Z-Drive takes the SATA bottleneck out of the equation by employing the ultra fast PCI-Express architecture with a RAID controller and four Vertex controllers configured in four-way RAID 0 within an all-in-one product, making this solution ideal for applications that put a premium on both storage performance and maximum capacity."
Pricing and shipping dates have not yet been announced. However, based on the current cost of Vertex drives, pricing around the $800, $1400, and $3000 marks for the 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB models respectively can be inferred.

You have a unique medical history. It is important to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with hypothyroidism. You can take an active role in your care if you talk openly and regularly with your doctor.
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and think of questions to ask.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get. Make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask to have anything you don't understand repeated, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information. You have a right to know.
If available, bring all your radiology records (thyroid ultrasounds, nuclear medication thyroid scan and/or uptake), lab tests of thyroid function, and treatments. Plan ahead and contact previous doctors to collect and gather this information to bring it with you. Bring a current medication list with names and doses.
- Could my hypothyroidism be caused by another, more important health problem?
- Will hypothyroidism cause any other health problems for me?
- Could my hypothyroidism be passed on to my children?
- Which medication will I need to take?
- Are there any symptoms or dangerous side effects that I should report to you?
- How soon after I start treatment can I expect to have a normal level of thyroid hormone?
- How will I know if my thyroid hormone levels are stable?
- How soon will I start to feel better?
- Will my thyroid medication interact with any other medications or dietary supplements that I'm taking for other conditions?
- Is it safe for me to get pregnant and breastfeed while taking thyroid medication? Will I need a change in my medication dosage during pregnancy?
- Are there any other treatment options? What about alternative and complementary approaches to treatment?
- Do I need to worry about gaining weight? Can you refer me to a registered dietitian or someone who can help me control my weight?
- Should I take my thyroid pill with food or on an empty stomach?
- Does it matter if I take my thyroid pill in the morning or at night before bed?
- What is the possibility of my thyroid returning to normal function?
- How often do I need to see the doctor for follow-up care after my thyroid hormone level is normal?

Wow, I can't say that I have ever seen a coach kiss a player in the NBA before. As a matter of fact, I can't ever remember seeing it done in professional sports before.
Do you think he truly wanted that win tonight? Great to see that kind of love and appreciation from a coach. His hands were high on that final basket and it put a smile on my face to see it. Great game and finally good to see DeMar come through.

According to the agent for Portland Trail Blazers forward, Nicolas Batum, they will not be holding off on deals to allow the Trail Blazers to sign a couple of free agents before the team tends to his client, who's a restricted free agent. The first good offer we get, we're going with that, Bouna Ndiaye of Comsport Management told CSNNW.com. We're not waiting for anything. CSNNW.com
Im not crazy about the possibility this signing, but by the looks of things if BC is "johnny on the spot" its more than possible to land him.

Survey of Income and Education, 1976: Welfare Extract (ICPSR 7918)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
This data collection, focusing on the welfare and public support system, contains information from the SURVEY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976 (ICPSR 7634), conducted during the months of April through July of 1976 by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey served as a supplement to the yearly Current Population Survey and was conducted to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. The information was used to facilitate Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey includes questions used in the Current Population Survey and also contains additional exclusive questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs. The National Chicano Research Network created this extract by including only those cases for people who received either of the following types of support: food stamps in 1975 or 1976, public housing, government rent subsidy, railroad retirement, United States government SSI, aid to families with dependent children, other public assistance, Medicaid, veteran's assistance, neighborhood health center, free or low-cost clinic, other public source, or any public assistance or welfare the previous month. The 110 variables used from SURVEY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976: RECTANGULAR FILE (ICPSR 7919) were mostly demographic, income-related, and employment-related variables. The data were provided by the National Chicano Research Network, which was located at the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan.

and Kathy Fulbright of Maiden, North Carolina don't know much about
datacenters and streaming
music, but they can certainly appreciate Apple Inc.'s growing
push for supremacy in the internet services sector. After
building a 500,000-square-foot
warehouse-like structure next door -- likely to house
servers -- Apple decided to build a second data center next door and
contacted the Fulbrights about purchasing their property.At
first the Fulbrights were reticent, rejecting Apple's first two
offers. A persistent Apple finally made the offer sweet
enough, agreeing
to pay $1.7M USD for the 1-acre property. That's
particularly exceptional given North Carolina's depressed property
values. The couple were able to use their proceeds to buy a
39-acre property and build a 4,200-square-foot house, complete with
an in-bedroom jacuzzi and manmade bass/koi pond.
couple originally bought the land 30 years ago for $6,000.For
Apple, the acquisition is a relief and a vital piece to its new plan
to make the North Carolina its data-center capitol. Apple isn't
the only one looking to build
up new capacity in small-town America. Microsoft Corp.,
Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. are all building data centers in
lightly populated areas as well. Microsoft in August announced
plans to build a $500M USD data center complex in neighboring rural
Virginia. Apple is looking to beef up its
data-serving capabilities to cope with increased App Store, iAd, and
iTunes serving demands. It also is reportedly eying an eventual
entry into the world of streaming music.Microsoft and other
companies have created 3,100 jobs and brought $3.6B USD in capital
into Virginia. North Carolina, currently recovering after being
struck particularly hard by the recent recession, is looking to
follow in Virginia's path to success. To lure Apple in, the
state government approved
$46M USD in direct state tax cuts. And Catawba county tax
recordsreveal that county governments are also pitching in,
cutting personal property taxes by 85 percent, and cutting Apple's
property taxes in half.Apple's properties in Catawba and
Maiden are located about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte.
Lenoir, North Carolina, located about 70 miles northwest of
Charlotte, is also getting its own data center -- a $600M USD Google
data center, lured by similar
breaks.The initiatives may pay off. Apple says it
may employ as many as 50 locals as IT workers at the data center, and
another 250 people as maintenance and security. And the
construction will create 3,000 jobs. That's a big deal given
that the state has an average unemployment rate of 9.7 percent, and
Catawba has an average unemployment rate of 12.3 percent. To
top it off, Maiden, which has an annual budget of $13.1M USD is
projected to pull in $5.1M USD in tax revenue from Apple over the
next 10 years, while neighboring Catawba, with an annual budget of
$202.2M USD, is expected to pull in an additional $4.4M USD over the
same time period. That may not sound like much, but it could
make a crucial difference for the cash-strapped
Barnes, chairman of the Catawba County Board of Commissioners is
bullish on the project, stating, "Names like Google and Apple
indicate you're in the 21st century and open for business, so we
hope to propel this to something greater."But some
aren't so happy about it. T.J. Rohr, a libertarian city
councilman in Lenoir is outraged, commenting, "I have a
problem with government giving large multinational corporations
millions of dollars in handouts."Mr. Rohr admits that
Google has been a relatively friendly neighbor, funding free Wi-Fi in
the city's downtown area and donating computers to schools, but he
calls the tax cuts/breaks/incentives "a lazy way to recruit

With the original incarnation
slammed over security concerns, a new breed of RFID-enabled passports received the U.S. State Department's stamp of approval
last Monday. The new passports are set to launch this spring for U.S. citizens
entering the United States through land and sea checkpoints.
Readable at up to 20 feet, the
next-generation design is supposed to help increase passports' security and
reduce the omnipresent lines found at entry points around the country.
Compared to the previous generation of RFID passport – dubbed
"e-Passports" – the new generation of RFID passports contain security features
that are far more protected, with many of its developments based on the 4,000+
responses received by the State Department on a public request for comment in
December 2006. New security features include:
While many critics continue to
express privacy concerns, the new security features are sufficient to pacify at
least some of the passport's vocal critics. "At the moment, the security
protections in U.S. passports are pretty good," said Ari Juels, Chief Scientist
and Director of Massachusetts-based RSA Laboratories, in a December 14 statement to the Los Angeles
The new passport design will use
"vicinity read" RFID technology, as opposed to the previous generation
"proximity read" technology, which need to be swiped at a scanner and were only
readable from a few inches.
However, while the new passports are
a definite improvement, critics stress that they are far from perfect. Critics
have particularly attacked the new passports' increased range, which many claim
will help facilitate identity theft. In one example, mobile security company Flexilis
found the passport's metallic shielding inadequate, allowing for the passport's
transmitter to be read even when it is closed.
To demonstrate this, Flexilis posted
a YouTube
video demonstrating a proof of concept where a trashcan armed with
an explosive charge detonates as a dummy equipped with the "shielded" passport
passes by. The threat, it says, is that terrorists could use the passports'
increased range to selectively identify Americans in foreign lands, possibly
taking action against them that may include bodily harm.
Despite the new passports' flaws –
which the Los Angeles Times says are nothing to lose sleep over – most
everyone agrees that the changes are a much-needed improvement over the
current RFID passport, which gained pariah status among security circles
for notoriously weak security features.
