Successful resolution of Toulouse shootings investigation praised by INTERPOL
LYON, France – Today's successful resolution of the criminal investigation by French authorities into the series of deadly shootings in Toulouse in Southwest France by Mohamed Merah in which seven people, including three children, were murdered, has been praised by INTERPOL.
Head of the world police body, Secretary General Ronald K. Noble commended the valuable contributions made by all those involved – the Minister of Interior, Claude Guéant, police, judicial authorities, the government and French citizens – all of whom combined in the swift identification and location of this dangerous terrorist.
"After more than 30 hours of patient negotiations and attempts by governmental authorities to end this matter peacefully, in the end only the courageous actions of France's elite RAID unit could restore peace and security to French citizens and visitors to the country," stated Mr Noble.
"Because of the professional and thorough investigation of French police and judicial authorities as well as the courageous actions of the elite RAID team today, this cold-blooded killer and admitted al-Qaeda linked terrorist no longer poses a threat to children, members of the French military and others targeted by him," added Mr Noble.
"Whilst we are grateful that no more innocent persons will be threatened by this dangerous terrorist, we cannot forget the families and friends of those who lost their lives as a result of Mohamed Merah's killing spree; our thoughts and prayers are with them," concluded the INTERPOL chief.


text: "From our first encounter with Sinatra in his Emmy-winning 'A Man and His Music' (1965), his musical journey plays out like a feature film, complete with story arc, character development and plenty of music to set the mood. These are songs, he tells the viewing audience at one point, that 'fit him like a comfortable pair of shoes.' With Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins leading the orchestras behind him, it's a perfect fit all around. What's fascinating is not so much the work of the elder Sinatra, well into his 70s, but the work from those early TV performances that came into America's living rooms so intimately. There are sizzling scenes with Ella Fitzgerald, for example, from 'A Man and His Music Ella Jobim' (1967), both solo and in duet; you'll search far and wide to find musicmaking more electrifying. Every bit as exciting is Sinatra's medley with Antonio Carlos Jobim, the sultry Brazilian bossa nova composer/instrumentalist/vocalist in their only filmed pairing. 'Every generation has its own sound,' Sinatra muses at one point. Their sounds transcended decades."Chicago Sun-Times

you had to say it... lol
you had to say it... lol
Don't hate me because I'm an optimist.
Well, looks like T. Ross will finally get some playing time with Fields and Anderson out.
So now it's sure we'll get to see lots of Ross and Kleiza. Some positive in every negative I guess...
WHY is McGuire in the game right now, fourth quarter, during a comeback?
Don't hate me because I'm an optimist.
I don't understand this eitherWHY is McGuire in the game right now, fourth quarter, during a comeback?
Lucas just isn't a feasible option at ANY position. Any time he touches the ball the offence goes to shit.
Is Demar playing PF?
I should stop posting, every time I do something bad happens to that player.
I'm losing it with Casey... Now he has Calderon Lucas and Ross and DeRozan in the game!!!!!!!!!
On a separate note...pretty sure that ball didn't go anywhere near Derozan's knee, I'd get myself T'd up after that one too.
Fuck, we had it going and down to single digits basically with our starters in the 3rd quarter. JV had a huge impact. Guess what??? Logic says we got to first go to McGuire and then play 4 guards in the final quarter!!!!!!!!!!! I'm losing my fucking mind. This is reaching new heights of ridiculousness!!!!!!!
Playing 4 guards in the 4th quarter is grounds for firing, if I were in charge. Fucking unbelievable.
By the way... what happened to Caseys 8-9 man rotation? He's constantly playing 12 guys in ridiculous combinations!!!
I've lost faith in Dwane Casey. his offense is complete garbage. This is embarrassing, i just stopped watching

New Look and Feel
FRANKFURT, Germany – September 15th, 2009
Following the recent introduction of its booking engine, "Book and Fly", Star Alliance has transformed its online presence from an informational site into a distribution channel. The new www.staralliance.com is available as of today, with its look and feel being the most obvious change.
"The introduction of the 'Book and Fly' functionality called for a redesign of our online presence, as our website has now enabled customers to actually book and purchase tickets, rather than just obtain information," said Christopher Korenke, Vice President Commercial at Star Alliance. "At the same time, we used this opportunity to incorporate some of the technological advances which have become available over the last few years."
A more personalised touch in the interactive area is one of the main additions to the look and feel of the site, with several bona fide customers greeting the users and also proposing areas where the user could navigate to next.
The link to the individual Star Alliance member carriers has also been modified. Instead of statically displayed, the member airline logos are now found in a rolling display on the right hand side of screen. By clicking on the logos more information about that member carrier will become visible. This new format will allow an easy addition of future member carrier logos.
The site will continue to be available in nine languages – Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish.
The overall navigation has been clearly defined and is split into several categories: About, Benefits, Fares, Booking, Services, Business Solutions and Press. These sections encompass for instance general information on the alliance and its member carriers, as well as details on the customer propositions such as Frequent Flyer Programmes and Lounges. Information on the business-to-business products, such as Corporate Plus, Company Plus, Conventions Plus and the recently launched Meetings Plus, are also available. Details on the 13 different fare products offered by the Star Alliance network can also be found. Under "Book and Fly" customers can plan, book and buy a Star Alliance Round the World ticket, while the fare Products Calculator allows customers to plan their journey using any of the Star Alliance Circle Fares or Airpasses. Links to the member carrier booking engines are also available. Additionally information on destinations, visas and health requirements as well as up to date flight and baggage tracing information is also available.
The latest redesign is part of an ongoing transformation of the alliance's online presence. The original website launched in 1997 was largely a static informational site. Over the years, the site has been upgraded with various interactive functionalities and tools aimed at providing information to the global traveller.
About Star Alliance:
The Star Alliance network was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer customers worldwide reach and a smooth travel experience. Star Alliance received the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award in 2008 and was voted Best Airline Alliance by Business Traveller Magazine in 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and by Skytrax in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009. The members are Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, bmi, EGYPTAIR, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, Spanair, SWISS, TAP Portugal, Turkish Airlines, THAI, United and US Airways. Regional member carriers Adria Airways (Slovenia), Blue1 (Finland) and Croatia Airlines enhance the global network. Aegean Airlines, Air India, Brussels Airlines, Continental Airlines and TAM have been announced as future members. Overall, the Star Alliance network offers 17,000 daily flights to 916 destinations in 160 countries.

Grow Financial Set to Open Branch No. 20
The $1.8 billion, 156,300-member Grow Financial Credit Union said it plans to open its 20th branch this spring – a new facility in Lakeland, Fla.
The Tampa-based credit union said the new, 4,500-square-foot branch will include interactive technology in a designated area inside the branch and in a video conference room.
Kimberly Votery will be market manager at the new location. She most recently was a manager at Midflorida CU in Lakeland and has more than 14 years of management experience, Grow Financial said.
"Our members in the Polk County area will now have a more convenient location to visit, and we feel they will be very pleased with the welcoming atmosphere the branch has to offer," said the credit union's president/CEO, Bob Fisher.
Grow Financial said its expansion plans this year also include new branches in Wesley Chapel, Fla., and in South Carolina.

We can't say that we didn't see this
one coming. When Microsoft announced
the the KIN One and KIN Two smartphones in April, we were
concerned that the customers targeted by Microsoft -- those ranging
from tweens to college-aged adults -- just weren't gonna fall for
these socially-geared phones.
It appears that Microsoft found out too
late that no one was buying their story about how well these devices
would be received by consumers. Today, Microsoft confirmed that both
the KIN
One and KIN Two are getting the axe:
We have made
the decision to focus exclusively on Windows Phone 7 and we will not
ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are
integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating
valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone
releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell
current KIN phones.
The chubby KIN One was priced at $49
while the keyboard-equipped KIN Two was priced at $99 (both after a
$100 mail-in rebate). In addition, both phones had to be paired with
a $29 data plan on Verizon's network.
In the face of such powerful (and much
more capable) competition like the $99 Apple iPhone 3GS and the $129
HTC Aria, the two KIN phones never stood a chance.
Reviews gave
the two devices a "meh" for the most part with Engadget
saying, "Here are much better choices for much less money on the
market, and Microsoft hasn't demonstrated to us why you would choose
this phone over those" and Gizmodo adding, "This
bizarre pricing will make potential KIN buyers' minds jump from
messaging phones, which the KIN compares favorably to, to thoughts of
smartphones, with app stores and full mapping and real browsers."
So long KIN, we hardly knew ye.

Emile Henry has been crafting artful kitchen ceramics since 1850, when the French company was founded in a small town in Burgundy. Today, it's still proudly owned and operated by members of the Henry family.

The high-fired clay withstands extremely high temperatures while distributing and retaining heat gently and evenly.

The Cortez City Council unanimously approved spending more than $20,000 for a new, more advanced website.
The last revamping of the city's website was in 2008.
Dawn Lightenberger, assistant to the city manager, told the council at its Jan. 22 meeting that the city looked at other websites, including the Montrose Gold design, to determine what would work best for them.
The city sent out requests for proposals for website developers and received four responses, and chose Civic Plus with a start-up cost of a little more than $22,000.
Civic Plus, Lightenberger said, has worked extensively with municipal websites in the past with more than 1,000 to its credit.
She said Civic Plus implements a very easy content system where almost all departments will be able to update information to the site.
There will also be safeguards in place with this web design. For a visually impaired person the website would tell them what the photo depicts.
The overall cost to Civic Plus for the first year is $22,300 with support, maintenance and hosting included for this year and $4,021 in each of the next two years.
City Manager Shane Hale said one of the benefits is a free web re-design in the fourth year if the city stays with the company for three years.
There will also be portal pages where other entities like the school district and the county can be part of the website at a cost of $8,000.
Hale said the city would want to entice other entities to take part in this opportunity.
"Eight thousand dollars is a steal," Hale said.
Cortez Special Events Manager Ami Fair said the crucial piece is managing the data.
"When we try to recruit or (have) people research our area we want people to be able to see our community as a whole," she said. "They are not interested in a water pipe break on Main Street. We can tell the story they want to hear."
Fair said this website will leave the content of each organization in the hands of that entity.
When a person goes through this site to get to another entity's portal page, both the city and that organization receive web hits.
"We are putting (down) a large amount of money," Hale said. "This is our vision."
He thinks that after launching the site, others will want to join after seeing the city's new site.
"I feel like it will pay for itself," said council member Matt Keefauver. "It seems like a more typical portal page that can pull from so many different things."
And Fair said a web design of this magnitude is needed.
"We are moving forward. We need to do this. It's time," she said.
Another advantage to the new site is a web application that people will be able to put on their tablets or smart phones.
The council also approved the city entering into a professional services contract with Russell Planning and Engineering to provide services for developing an overall concept plan for gateway elements and median beautification throughout the city, specifically the construction of the South Broadway medians.
Russell Engineering and Planning was the most expensive of the three finalists by $8,000 and $10,000, though this was offset by the 641 man hours it would be using for the project compared to the 434 and 466 hours for the other two finalists.
The construction is scheduled to take place in the summer of this year, and the scope of the work includes creating landscape designs for each of the gateways into Cortez, the median on Seventh Street and analyzing options for beautification and pedestrian enhancements in the downtown area.

A person with a passive-aggressive behavior pattern may appear to comply or act appropriately, but actually behaves negatively and passively resists. In the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, passive-aggressiveness is not officially characterized as a personality disorder. Instead, passive-aggressiveness is labeled as an area that needs further study.
The cause of passive-aggressiveness is unknown. There may be environmental and genetic factors that contribute to the development of this behavior pattern.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of passive-aggressive behavior include:
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Harsh punishment
Passive-aggressive behavior includes:
- Contradictory and inconsistent behavior—A person with this behavior pattern may appear enthusiastic to carry out others' requests, but purposely performs in a manner that is not useful and sometimes even damaging.
Intentional avoidance of responsibility—Some behaviors that may be used to avoid responsibility include:
- Procrastination—to delay or postpone needlessly and intentionally
- Deliberate inefficiency—purposefully performing in an incompetent manner
- Forgetfulness
- Feelings of resentment toward others
- Stubbornness
- Argumentative, sulky, and hostile, especially toward authority figures
- Easily offended
- Resentful of useful suggestions from others
- Blames others
- Chronically impatient
- Unexpressed anger or hostility
A mental health professional diagnoses passive-aggressiveness after doing a psychological evaluation. This may include a range of mental health and neurological tests to assess how the brain is functioning.
There is no medication available for passive-aggressiveness. If anxiety or depression is also involved, your doctor may prescribe antidepressants. Antidepressants are medications that ease the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Counseling can help you become aware of the problem and acknowledge the need to change.

Believe it or not, the choice between taking life or
creating life is one that is very unclear to parents. In a poll on parent-oriented
gaming site What They Play, respondents were
asked to pick from a choice of four what
they found the most offensive in a video game.
The four choices offered were: a graphically severed human
head; a man and a woman having sex; multiple use of the F-word; or two men
Perhaps as a strange demonstration of social values, those
who voted in the poll reported that sexual matters of any sort were more offensive
than explicit violence or profanity. The leading pick as the most offensive act
in video game was "a man and woman having sex" at 37 percent. Off second place
with 27 percent was "two men kissing."
Next in second last place with 26 percent was the
anti-violence answer of "a graphically severed human head." In a distant fourth
was "multiple use of the F-word."
Informed parents are the best defence against exposure of
inappropriate material to children, though it appears that many are more
concerned about sexual matters than graphic violence.
Susan Arendt of Game|Life
shared the story of an encounter she once had in a game store: "A woman was
trying to buy her 12-year old daughter some games for Christmas, and
overhearing me talking about games, asked me for advice. She picked up one of
the Resident Evils and asked me if it was any good. I told her that it was an
excellent game, but quite violent and scary. 'Oh, that's no problem,' she
replied. 'But there's no, you know, people having relations in it, is

Namely, speed boost and Mail
have continued to be refined and are now at the point where Opera is
satisfied with them. In testing
by BetaNews, the Turbo mode now delivers 358 percent
faster page loads than when in normal load when the turbo is turned
up to x3 (BetaNews failed to mention what test they used).
This is 58 percent more than even Opera's advertised boost. The
compressed pages are delivered with JPGs at high compression rates,
making some images more pixellated.
We did our own testing of
Opera 10.0 RC and looked at how it squared up against another recent
testing-phase browser -- Google
Chrome 4. We tested the two browsers using FutureMark's
PeaceKeeper browser test, which is now out of beta. We also
used CelticKane's JavaScript test to look at script performance in a
bit more detail. All tests were ran in Windows Vista on a VAIO
notebook with T8100 (2.1 GHz, 45 nm) processor and a NVIDIA 8400 GS
graphics card. For Opera the Build was 1733, and Presto was
2.2.15. For Chrome, the version was 18.104.22.168.
PeaceKeeper Opera scored 1718 points. This seems a bit low,
compared to Safari and Chrome, but its partly because of the slower
processor on the testing laptop. However, Chrome did score 2929
points, easily besting Opera's offering. Part of this is
because the PeaceKeeper test does not test or reward for
special/experimental standards such as Nav Links, Web Forms
2.0,VoiceXML/X+V, or CSS Projection mode (all of which Opera
supports, but Google does not). Such standards are still rarely
used, though, so this may be a fair omission.
Digging a bit
Opera scored a modest 274 ms -- pretty good compared to the results
listed on the page (faster than Chrome 2 was in July). Still
Chrome 4 managed to once again show up the competitor in speed,
coming in at a smoking 195 ms (Apple's Safari is still faster,
according to CelticKane's page).
In short Opera does not have
an answer to Chrome in script performance in 10.0 RC. It does
have one potential answer in the long run -- its new Carakan
Javascript engine -- but unfortunately it won't be available at
10.0's release. Opera spokesman, Thomas Ford describes, "It
won't be ready for (Opera) 10 final, but rest assured that it will be
impressive when it comes."
In the meantime, it's
important to consider the browsers' other features (besides pure
speed). Both Chrome and Opera suffer from being minority
players in the market, so some pages that are poorly coded may not be
compatible fully with them (but are compatible with Firefox/IE).
In general both offer fairly robust ad-filtering, pop-up blocking,
and script filtering. Both also include anti-phishing
technologies. Overall, Chrome is a bit more secure as each tab
is sandboxed separately. However, in our experience Opera does
a better job of blocking most ads then Chrome.
So in speed
Chrome 4 wins, and in security its a virtual draw. So let's
move to the bonus round -- what really sticks out about the browser.
Looking at Chrome first, one great feature is the tab isolation,
which means that if one tab crashes the whole browser doesn't go
down. The privacy mode (incognito) is also nice.
Downsides include a slightly less refined interface and no tabbed
colorization (a nice feature in IE).
Looking at Opera
10.0 RC one impressive aspect is its friendly user interface.
Speed dial is a great feature and is implemented arguably better than
the knock-offs (Firefox add-ons, etc.) that have arisen, since it was
first revealed. For users with slow connections Opera is the
best option hands down, thanks to its turbo mode. Opera also
installs much faster than Chrome. After clicking through the
dialogs, Opera installed on our machine in 58 sec., while Chrome took
close to 4 minutes -- Chrome's installation speed will be quicker
than this on faster connections, though. Disappointments
include its lack of a privacy mode, poor plug-in/add-on support
(though improving), and no tabbed colorization by default.
conclusion is that when it comes to speed Chrome beats Opera
handily. However, when features and other considerations come
into play, the browsers are much closer and which is best boils down
to personal preference. We suggest you try both. Opera
10.0 RC can be found
here and Google Chrome 4 can be found

Redbox will
be stepping up to Netflix's level by offering a new digital
option, which will be a subscription-based internet streaming service.
Up until
now, Redbox has been a kiosk-only DVD and video game rental company. With more
and more consumers choosing to watch movies
over the internet instead of on DVD, and three studios not
providing new releases to the company until nearly a month after they go on
sale, Redbox has been hurting. Also, the company recently took a hard hit when
Disney raised wholesale prices on its DVD's sold to Redbox.
to Redbox President Mitch Lowe, the subscription-based internet streaming
service will only require a single monthly fee, which will allow users to
obtain movies via the internet as well as kiosks.
The Los Angeles Times reports
that Redbox previously mentioned that it would start a digital service with a
partner, but the partner has not been identified yet. Insiders have note that
Amazon has been talking about launching an online movie service that will rival
Netflix, which makes Amazon a "likely candidate" as a partner to
While introducing
subscription-based internet streaming will make Redbox a strong competitor to
Netflix, the kiosk rental company has some big shoes to fill.
Currently, Netflix has over 20 million subscribers to its rental-by-mail and internet
streaming subscription services.

Dell announced earlier this week that it would close down its Austin, Texas PC manufacturing plant and laying off 900 employees in the Austin area. Dell also said at that time that it intended to cut an additional 8,800 jobs within the company in an effort to save a total of $3 billion over the next several years.
Michael Dell, CEO and Founder of Dell, said on Thursday, "We're decreasing our head count. It's declined in the past two quarters and it will decline again in the first quarter. And we will go past the 8,800 target previously discussed as we achieve everything that I'm outlining today."
The AP reports that 5,500 Dell jobs have been cut so far with 1,000 more cuts coming this quarter. However, Dell CFO Donald Carty does say that there has been an increase in frontline personnel like sales and customer support for a net reduction of 3,200 jobs so far.
Dell isn't alone in cutting jobs; Motorola is having its own problem with profitability and too many mouths to feed. Motorola announced recently that it wanted to break into two companies in an effort to become more profitable.
Motorola announced today that it would cut an additional 2,600 jobs adding up to 10,000 jobs cut since the beginning of 2007. The reason for the job cuts is blamed in part on the poor sales of cellular phones. The layoffs are the first wave of a plan to save Motorola $500 million this year.
The Wall Street Journal quotes Motorola from a statement saying, "The work-force reductions are intended to make financial resources available for strategic business investment, while better aligning operational costs and expenses with business growth."
Motorola is cutting jobs both abroad and at home, 354 of the jobs cut were in Plantation, Florida where handsets for use on WiMax networks were in development. The sad state of WiMax in the U.S. with Sprint continually postponing its Xohm rollout likely had an effect on those cuts.

text: In contrast with China's plans for high-speed rail, which call for a massive $1T USD project that dwarfs plans in the United States, China's electric vehicle (EV) hopes fall far short compared to its U.S. peers.I. China -- the Perfect Home for EVs, But Little ProgressChina seems like the perfect place for EVs – it has hundreds of millions of people living in dense urban areas with short commutes. But thus far the nation has lagged in the development of EV technology.The country has finally unveiled a decisive plan to turn the corner with EV deployment. Dubbed the New Energy Vehicle Development plan, it aims to spend $15B USD between now and 2020 to push EVs and hybrid electric vehicles on the streets of China.That expense still falls short of $25B USD that the U.S. has spent on EVs, and the $10B extra the Obama administration has called for to be spent over the next several years.The goals of China's plan are scaled down as well. Obama hopes to have 1 million plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles (PHEV and BEV) on the street by 2015 (the 2016 model year), while China only hopes to have 500,000. China also estimates it will have 1 million hybrids -- which would still be far less than the 1.89 million hybrids that are currently on U.S. streets. The discrepancy between these figures becomes even greater when you consider China has a population of 1.33 billion people, over four times the U.S. population of 307 million people. China, whose people make far less per capita than U.S. citizens, has a slightly lower per-capita vehicle purchase rate. In 2010 U.S. citizens bought around 10 million vehicles [source], versus around 18 million in China.By 2020 China hopes to have 5 million EVs (PHEVs and BEVs) deployed.II. What's in a Mandate? Similarities and Differences Between U.S. and Chinese PlansIn many ways the U.S. and Chinese EV investments are similar despite differences of scale. In both cases a heavy chunk of the money went directly to research. In China's case half of the funds -- $7.5B USD -- would go towards R&D. The rest of the money from China's plan would be employed towards buyer tax credits (similar to those in the U.S.) and towards building charger stations. The Chinese tax credits may be even greater than those offered in the U.S. According to those familiar with China's plan, it would include large-scale pilot projects, which would hand out over $15,000 USD to EV buyers in target regions.China wants to build 36,000 charging stations in the capital city of Beijing in the next three years and pilot-scale projects in 25 other major Chinese cities. That's slightly more ambitious than Obama's proposed 20,000 charging stations by 2015.China's proposal is also unique in a couple of other ways. While more limited than the U.S. plan in some regards, the Chinese plan enjoys nearly unanimous support from Chinese lawmakers, where as the U.S. government remains divided on the topic of EVs (with Democrats largely supporting research spending/incentives on EVs and Republicans mostly opposing such expenses).Additionally the Chinese plan would deny U.S., Japanese, European, and South Korean automakers/battery companies the ability to get government funding or tax credits. By contrast the U.S. government has handed out tax credits to foreign automakers like Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. (7201) and Mitsubishi Corp. (8058) for their EVs and battery research and development grants to Compact Power, Inc., a Michigan-based subsidiary of South Korean chemical giant LG Chem, Ltd. (051910)China hopes that by giving local players a decisive edge, it will foster two to three strong battery production/design firms, and three to five electric vehicle manufacturers.The nation has a decisive advantage over its western peers in resources. It controls 97 percent of the world's rare earth metal supply. EVs and hybrids use significantly more rare earth metals (such as neodymium) than standard automobiles. While China has pumped up prices of rare earth metals amid increasing foreign demand, it hopes to turn around and offer these resources to local manufacturers at dirt-cheap prices.Other rare compounds like lithium are also heavily controlled and/or produced by China, furthering this edge.Oliver Hazimeh, a partner at PRTM, a Waltham, Mass.-based consulting firm that recently did a study on China's EV push for World Bank states in a Detroit News interview, "Where they're ahead is at the political commitment level. The Chinese government is very strongly behind electrification, and they also have the raw materials."Michael Dunne, president of Hong Kong investment advisory firm Dunne & Co. comments that the Chinese government's plan has little to do with helping the government, and far more to handing energy control to the Chinese government. States Mr. Dunne, "It's 90 percent about energy security, and less than 10 percent about the environment."III. Companies Step up to the Plate, but Quality, Government Issues LoomChina has several rising stars in the EV industry, including some fresh faces. Among those is BYD, Ltd., subsidiary of BYD Comp. (1233). BYD made a splash at the 2011 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January and hopes to sell EVs in North America and Europe sometime next year. Some are skeptical of BYD's capabilities -- while the company has delivered 40 operational BYD e6 taxi prototypes to the city of Shenzhen, the mass-produced international model is two years late.Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. (2333) China's largest SUV maker plans to release an electric model of its popular "Great Wall" SUV. Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Comp. Ltd. (BAIC), a state-owned automaker who recently purchased the intellectual property of GM subsidiary Saab, is planning an EV of its own, dubbed BAIC C30 (not to be confused with the similarly named Volvo). BAIC only will produce 3,500 EVs this year, but hopes to be pumping out 150,000 yearly by 2015. Jianghuai Automobile Comp., another state run player based in Heifei, hopes to be pumping out 100,000 EVs by 2015.And the Riich subsidiary of another gov't owned company -- Cherry Automobile -- is planning to release a compact dubbed the M1-EV. Riich has already released an EV dubbed the S18, which has seen limited sales in China.Fears about corruption and quality control issues are looming, though, much like with China's high-speed rail project. These concerns are particularly troublesome among the government-owned automakers. Zotye Holding Group (ZHG), another government owned carmaker was embarrassed when a car in its electric taxi test fleet caught fire in the city of Hangzhou. Hu Jiangyi, deputy sales director of State Grid Corp. who operates the company, states, "The incident caused huge damage to us."ZHG Chairman, Wu Jianzhong promises that his company will install monitoring systems to watch for similar incidents in the future.There's another major elephant in the room when it comes to China's EV plans -- China's oil subsidies. In recent years the nation's payments to oil companies to keep gas cheap have exceed even the substantial tax breaks handed out by the U.S. government. In the U.S. gas is currently well over $4 USD/gallon on average, while Chinese drivers enjoy a sweet price of $2.60 USD/gallon.Thus while China would like to convince its people to buy EVs, it may find that its own meddling with oil prices is derailing those hopes. In that regard Chinese automakers may find that their most lucrative market is not in China, but overseas, in the U.S.

Basically, there have been may many threads suggesting one is stronger than the other so i created this to prove that they are equal.
In Part II, due to Orochimaru's training, Sasuke's already impressive speed saw a huge leap, able to evade attacks from the extremely fast Killer B and A, though he credited the evasion to his Sharingan reading the linear moves. He also greatly increased his hand speed, able to do many hand seals in a blur and launch an enormous amount of weapons just as quickly, as seen during his fight with Itachi. His speed and proficiency with the Body Flicker Technique have also grown considerably, able to easily cut his opponents down without them noticing. When first facing Team Kakashi in Part II, he showed himself able to cover wide gaps in the blink of an eye, giving his former allies no time to react. His improvements were so great that Sakura even suspected that he had been given drugs to improve his physical capabilities
Sasuke has shown a high level of stamina and endurance; at the Five Kage Summit, he was able to endure a consistent string of battles against the samurai, two Kage and their bodyguards before finally collapsing from exhaustion. In a near-blind, battered, and visibly exhausted state from his latter fight with Danzō and overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan, he still had enough stamina to fight against Kakashi, restrain and disarm Sakura and later match Naruto's Rasengan with his Chidori.
The above is an quote from wikipedia and proved that sasuke is extremely sufficient with taijutsu and kenjtsu alone and that should be able to beat most fodder but of course, due to gaara's sand it would have absolutely no effect.
Despite the removal of Shukaku, Gaara can still use his sand like before. According to Sasuke at the Kage Summit, Gaara's Absolute Defence is still alive and well. Not only that, but the sand has also massively improved in speed, defence, and offence since the last time they met as it was not only able to protect him and others from a cave-in,[24] but also block A
By blocking A's attack, it shown that even A's attack even augmented with lightning, meaning that even sasuke's chidori katana wouldnt have much effect. Also, in a video(Look at very bottom) gaara's sand blocked it, it was an OVA and is canon.
Lightning/fire vs Sand
It was shown multiple times that gaara's sand took multiple different techniques based on elements. The first one was amaterasu, regarding if it was enton or amaterasu itself inst relevant, what is relevant is that gaara's sand has a resistant to fire as amaterasu was shown to be able to burn even a human being to ashes in mere seconds, meaning lesser fire based techniques are pretty much useless against him as amaterasu is the highest katon-based technique according to the fanbook which was created by kishi.As a true genius ninja and member of the Uchiha, Sasuke has great proficiency in Fire Release nature manipulation. By age 7, he had already mastered his clan's rite of passage technique, the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. Even Kakashi was amazed at such a feat as, according to him, Genin usually require much more experience and developed chakra to perform elemental techniques. He has also shown combining his fire skills with weapons for techniques like Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.
After learning that Sasuke can also manipulate Lightning Release nature manipulation, hoping to deter Sasuke from using the Cursed Seal, Kakashi taught him the Chidori, made more effective when combined with his Sharingan. With this combination, Sasuke can punch through most obstacles with relative ease, as well as severely damaging any opponent during most uses. In Part I, Sasuke was limited to using the attack only twice a day, with a third usage after the initial activation of his cursed seal. In Part II, Sasuke was shown to be able to use the Chidori several times in one day. During their battle, A commended Sasuke's Chidori for being able to break through his Lightning Release Armour despite inflicting only minor damage.
Over the timeskip, Sasuke put a great deal of time developing his lighting-based chakra, having mastered it to create many new techniques of said type, most of these revolving around his Chidori, which he has refined. When first seen in Part II, he was able to use channel his Chidori to emit electricity from all over his body as a shield that stuns those it comes into contact with. He can also channel the Chidori through his sword through "chakra flow", giving the blade extreme cutting power and allowing it to numb anyone it cuts. This is powerful enough to slice through a chakra wave created by a similar sword technique. He can also concentrate it into solid senbon and a sword to make more precise attacks. He is also able to infuse shuriken with lightning chakra. Sasuke's most powerful elemental technique is Kirin, a lightning technique that uses natural lightning as opposed to chakra, allowing Sasuke to perform it even when visibly exhausted. If there are no thunder clouds available, Sasuke can use a powerful fire release technique to create thunder clouds. Sasuke then takes control of the lightning, shapes it into a kirin, and then brings the lightning down on his target. The technique is so powerful that it has the ability to destroy a mountain, as well as break Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo.
After adjusting to his Mangekyō Sharingan powers, Sasuke has developed an advanced Fire Release known as the Blaze Release; an element that draws its power from Amaterasu. Aside from unleashing a wave of unquenchable black flames that incinerates everything that reflects in his eyesight, Sasuke can control the movement of the flames into surrounding him and creating spikes to protect himself. As such, he was regarded as more skilled with it than Itachi was by C.[46] After gaining his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he was able to wrap Amaterasu around his Susanoo arrows, even using the orb of it to create tomoe-like projectiles that can fire in a wave.
"Despite the removal of Shukaku, Gaara can still use his sand like before. According to Sasuke at the Kage Summit, Gaara's Absolute Defence is still alive and well. Not only that, but the sand has also massively improved in speed, defence, and offence since the last time they met as it was not only able to protect him and others from a cave-in,[24] but also block A, block Amaterasu several times without being burned through or into — a feat that impressed Sasuke Uchiha,[25] as well as block Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo's sword and still protect him even when it was barraged by four others right afterwards. "As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke possesses the Sharingan, the clan's kekkei genkai. He first developed it at age 7, during Itachi's departure from Konoha after the Uchiha clan massacre, with one tomoe in each eye, but Sasuke forget he had activated the Sharingan from being traumatised by the incident. He was able to reactivate it during the battle with Haku, where his right eye acquired two tomoe in it. By the time he fought Rock Lee, both eyes had two tomoe. Midway during his battle against Naruto at the Valley of the End, it reached completion to have three tomoe in each eye. This dōjutsu grants Sasuke all the Sharingan's standard abilities such as analysing and predicting movements, as well as copying enemy techniques into his arsenal.
While making good use of it in Part I, Sasuke also developed a number of more novel uses for it in Part II. During his encounter with Naruto, Sasuke's Sharingan could enter Naruto's subconscious and effectively suppressed Kurama's chakra. In this instance, the demon compared Sasuke's eyes to that of Madara.[47] In Part II, Sasuke regularly uses his Sharingan genjutsu abilities, which grew considerably strong, to easily hypnotise opponents, replay memories,[48] paralyse his target, and control a mighty summoned creature like Manda. In developing his Sharingan prowess, Sasuke drastically increased his time periods to maintain it with little effect to his chakra levels, even in prolonged fights against several high-level opponents. When Orochimaru later tried to take over his body, Sasuke was able to use his Sharingan to turn Orochimaru's technique against the Sannin. His Sharingan prowess has grown to the point that could match Itachi in a genjutsu duel and overcome the Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu, Tsukuyomi.
Sasuke awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after the death of his older brother, Itachi. Sasuke's Mangekyō takes the appearance of three intersecting ellipses. Unlike other Sharingan, which have a black design and red background, Sasuke's Mangekyō is the first one that is shown to have a red design and a black background.
Customary of the dōjutsu, Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan damages and gradually reduces his eyesight every time he uses it, causing him to experience great pain and extreme fatigue as well as causing eye bleeding with each use. While resting after his fight with Killer B, Sasuke found that his vision was slightly blurred and during his battle with Kakashi, unleashing Susanoo's final form caused his vision to worsen, leaving him unable to maintain Susanoo. Although Sasuke initially refused Itachi's eyes, after his conversation with Naruto, he finally had Tobi transplant his brother's eyes in order to escape the Mangekyō-induced blindness and to face Naruto with his full power. His Eternal Mangekyō took the shape of his old Mangekyō Sharingan, with a symmetrical version of Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan design in the centre.
The first ability Sasuke has displayed using the Mangekyō was to induce paralysis into his victim[49] and brainwash them to follow his orders.[50] Sasuke's first named technique shown was Tsukuyomi, able to induce it on his victims without their knowing. However Danzō denounced Sasuke's might with the technique, reiterating Itachi's ability to alter a victim's impression of space and time while under his Tsukuyomi. Despite this, Tobi noted that Sasuke's resourcefulness and precise timing in its use are able to somewhat make up for the illusion's lack of power. The second technique was Amaterasu. When Sasuke first used it unintentionally on Tobi, his right eye took Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan form. When he later used it on his own, they took his own Mangekyō Sharingan form. Various characters have implied that his skill with Amaterasu surpasses Itachi's, as he is able to both control and extinguish the flames with his right eye.
Sasuke is one of the rare few Uchiha who obtained the ability to use Susanoo, which he can use in the same manner as his Cursed Seal, manifesting single parts at a time; the technique's development is dependent on Sasuke's extreme emotion, usually anger. Sasuke initially uses incomplete versions of Susanoo due to various reasons. During his fight with Danzō, he uses a more complete version, and demonstrates its ability to use different weapons. Later on, during his fight with Kakashi, he perfected his Susanoo into an armoured form similar to Itachi's. Unlike Itachi, Sasuke's Amaterasu comes from his left eye, and Tsukuyomi along with his ability to manipulate and extinguish the black flames from his right eye. The last ability Sasuke demonstrated with his Mangekyō Sharingan was a technique that manipulates the black flames of Amaterasu known as Blaze Release.
Following the acquisition of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the usage of Mangekyō techniques does not seemingly affect his chakra reserves nearly as much any more nor his health at all. His Susanoo's complete form also underwent a new change as the armour's hood gained a beak-like shape, its hands gained scales and it wields an orb composed of the black flames of Amaterasu on its third hand, from which he can produce either a weapon to stab his opponents, or fire several tomoe-shaped projectiles that can incinerate a foe on contact. It also wields another weapon on his primary left hand.
@Bolded, nuff said
As for genjutsu, then simply use sphere of sand to block eye contact and to severe eye connections to him, making genjutsu imposible.
Sand wave vs susano'o
The giant sand wave would normally kill someone due to loss of air and the amount of sand and the pressure would crush him, but susano'o could take it. Wether it could take the giant sand burial i have no idea. I would say yes since it took a karin. With that being said, they both have defenses and imo they would pass out evuntally due to chakra exhaustion or sasuke would pull out something smart. Thats just my opinion
Here is the video:

Sources say Denver is talking to a number of teams, but said NY, NJ, HOU, Clips, GSW, Cleveland and Tor have made offers - no deal is close.
I wonder if Toronto put out an offer to broker a deal or if it was to take Melo for the season?
Regardless of what happens, this situation is becoming painful. I can only imagine how Nuggets fans feel. I only hope he doesn't have his cake and get to eat it too i.e. get to the Knicks and have his max contract.

Standing at approximately half a
mile high, the tower's 828 meter estimated height easily outdoes the
previous record holder -- the 509 meter Taipei 101, located in
Taiwan. The new record holder's principal builder was the South
Korean Samsung C&T, who also built the Taipei 101 and the
Petronas Twin Towers.
The tower features nearly 3.6 million
square feet and cost the Dubai sheikdom an estimated $20B USD.
The building project was masterminded by Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, the city-state's 60-year-old hereditary leader.
Masud, head of research at UBS AG in Dubai said
the tower was designed to help Dubai "stay in the limelight as
home to a global landmark."
Hopes are high amid trouble
in the region. Worldwide, the sheikdom has garnered criticism
for its profiteering on high oil prices in the 90s and current
decade. At the same time it suffered substantial loss of wealth
during the recent recession with November bringing the announcement
that one of nation's largest government-owned conglomerates could not
repay its debts, news that sent shockwaves through the global
investing economy.
Despite over $80B USD in debt and the
expectation that Dubai real estate prices could drop 30 percent in
2010, after falling 50 percent in 2009, the sheikdom is looking to
spare no expense at the tightly secured grand opening ceremony
today. The opening ceremony is said to involve 10,000
While Dubai has suffered financially, its southern
neighbor Abu Dhabi has thrived, wisely reinvesting oil profits and
largely weathering the recession. Sheik Mohammed turned to Abu
Dhabi for financial assistance. The fellow emirate lent Sheik
Mohammed an undisclosed amount, helping to reduce his emirate's debt
burden and continue with ambitious construction projects like the
Burj Khalifa.
Dubai now turns its attention to the upcoming
Nakheel Towers, a new skyscraper, currently under construction,
which aims to reach 1 kilometer high. A similar kilometer-high
tower, the Burj Mubarak is being built in Kuwait.

N.Y. League Offers Conference Grants
The Credit Union Association of New York, in partnership with the New York Credit Union Foundation, is making its annual meeting and convention more accessible to attendees under the age of 35 through two grant opportunities. A young professional convention grant will make registration for the 2013 convention, to be held June 13-16 at the Sagamore Resort on Lake George, more affordable.
"Our convention provides an excellent background of the statewide credit union landscape for young professionals," said Cara Carlevatti of Great Erie Federal Credit Union. "It's a great chance to network with vendors, association staff and other credit union professionals."
"Convention is a central meeting place for New York's credit union leaders to gather and learn–together and from each other," said Lisa Totaro of Sunmark Federal Credit Union.
"Young professionals who attend convention alongside statewide leaders benefit from knowledge-sharing while also providing a fresh perspective on the issues confronting our industry today."

Fraud Case Forces Michigan League into Damage Control
Embezzlement and racketeering charges against a 61-year-old woman who stole $2.1 million from a shuttered credit union put the Michigan Credit Union League on the defensive Saturday, prompting a release that reassured consumers credit unions safe, secure and federally insured.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced the charges against long-time manager Sharon Broadway Thursday, following the Aug. 9 liquidation of the $303,261 United Catholic Credit Union of Temperance, Michigan.
Schuette said Broadway had been using aliases and forged checks to embezzle funds for more than 20 years, and had also pocketed certificates of deposit rather than apply them to the credit union's financials. A routine examination revealed the fraud.
"Members of credit unions across Michigan should rest assured that their money is safe and sound, and that credit unions are well-run, sophisticated financial institutions that typically have adequate checks and balances to avoid this type of event," said league CEO David Adams. "Credit unions and regulators go to great lengths to ensure that proper safeguards are in place so our members' money is safe. Our association stands ready to assist authorities in any way we can to get to the bottom of this incident, which is an aberration, and to ensure that it doesn't happen again."
A federally insured, state-chartered credit union, UCCU was chartered in 1961, operated just one branch with Broadway as the sole employee, and served more than 200 members belonging to Catholic parishes along Michigan's border with Ohio.
Adams called the incident "extremely isolated" and added that fraud risk is inherent in any business.
"The framework and the very nature of credit unions mitigates that risk significantly," he said. "Credit unions offer deposit insurance and other insurance protections, strong regulatory supervision by state and federal agencies and strong oversight by the institutions' boards themselves. Credit unions have an impeccable and trustworthy record as stewards of consumers' savings and investments."

Regardless of who spouts statistics, we should all be skeptical. For one thing, it's a good mental exercise (may prevent Alzheimer's). Secondly, we might avoid making big mistakes by blindly accepting numbers or ideas that are skewed or deliberately misleading (need I mention political advertising?). Try reading Harper's INDEX (in Harpers Monthly magazine), which arranges statistics for their most ironic impact then gives a reference to data sources. Another great way to exercise one's skepticism is to read anything by Michael Shermer; he is a prolific author of books, editor of Skeptic Magazine and writer of Scientific American's column "The Skeptic." My personal favorite statistic: "73 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot," except that the next time I mention it, the number will be different.
