Flint's Jackson summoned by Toronto
by CBA Press Release
January 11, 2002 - Continental Basketball Association 1 (CBA 1)
CBA Press Release
Boise, Idaho — The Continental Basketball Association announced today that Flint Fuze point guard Jermaine Jackson has been called up by the NBA's Toronto Raptors. The call-up is the second of the 2001-02 CBA season.
Jackson, a 6-4 product of the University of Detroit (Â'99), began the season in PhiladelphiaÂ's training camp before being released. In a 103-101 loss to the Fargo-Moorhead Beez, he dished out a CBA season high 16 assists to contribute to his league leading 8.6 assists per game. Jackson averaged 15.4 points on 81-157 (.516) shooting from the field and 93-112 (.830) from the foul line in 17 games with the Fuze.
"Our organization is very excited for Jermaine to have this opportunity. He is a hard-working player who has devoted a great deal of time and effort towards this goal. He is our floor general, and we'll miss him, but we hope his stay in the NBA is a permanent one," said Fuze Head Coach Jeff Grayer.
"He gives us a veteran presence in a back-up role having played in the NBA before. He was doing very well in the CBA getting a lot of assists with very few turnovers," said Bob Zuffelato, Raptors Assistant General Manager. "He is a very versatile player and a good defender who will add experience in our backcourt."
Jackson appeared in seven games for the Detroit Pistons in 1999-00. He began the 2000-01 season with the Quad City Thunder of the CBA before joining Scaligera Basket Verona of the Italian A1 league. Jackson will fill the roster spot vacated by Carlos Arroyo, who was released Monday, and take the floor for the first time on Friday when the Raptors host the Atlanta Hawks.

OTTAWA, Feb. 5, 2016 /CNW/ - The Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness today announced that an additional six months have been given to allow certain nationals of Haiti and Zimbabwe to apply for permanent residence without risk of removal from Canada.
This measure gives those who have not applied for permanent residence in Canada based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds a further opportunity to do so. The six months are in addition to the six months that were already given to affected nationals following the lifting of the temporary suspension of removals to Haiti and Zimbabwe on December 1, 2014. In support of this reinstated measure, the Canada Border Services Agency will again defer any removals pending a final decision on the H&C applications. Affected Haitian and Zimbabwean nationals will have the chance to continue to build their lives in Canada.
"We encourage all Haitians and Zimbabweans in Canada who want to make this country their permanent home to apply for permanent resident status. This is why we have reinstated these special immigration measures."
Hon. John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
"The special measures being extended today, in a safe and secure manner, support Canada's rich humanitarian tradition, and will give more opportunities for Haitians and Zimbabweans to build successful lives in Canada."
Hon. Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Two bills scheduled to be considered Monday by the Arizona House would impact the state's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood Arizona.
One bill would apply state requirements for clinics that provide surgical abortions to those that provide only medication abortions. Planned Parenthood says that'd force it to curtail services in clinics in Flagstaff, Prescott and Yuma. Supporters of the bill say it would help protect the health of women.
A second bill would make donations to Planned Parenthood ineligible for a state income tax credit for contributions to groups that serve the working poor. Planned Parenthood says its abortion services are self-funded and that any impact on its donated funding would only affect its family planning and medical services.

The number of confirmed cases of pertussis in Soldotna has grown to 18, according to the state Division of Public Health in Anchorage.
Last week, the division reported 10 people with the illness also know as whooping cough including five at the Heritage Place nursing facility.
"We have 18 confirmed cases," said Dr. Beth Funk, acting chief of the epidemiology section.
"Six are confirmed through lab testing and the others are clinical cases," she said, explaining the infected people have all the symptoms of pertussis and have been in contact with someone with the illness.
Funk said nine of the 18 cases are related to Heritage Place, including one contract employee who worked there and a child who is related to a nursing home worker.
Five of the cases reported last week were all members of one Soldotna family.
"In my opinion, I don't believe it's isolated to the nursing home and that one family," Funk said.
"That's not the way it works."
Characterized by a convulsive cough, gagging, vomiting and a whoop sound when inhaling, the bacterial infection can be treated with the antibiotic Zithromax, according to a bulletin from the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.
The drug also is used in a pill form as the preventative for whooping cough.
All residents and staff members at Heritage have been treated with Zithromax.
"Everything's kind of back to normal at Heritage Place," Christine Sutton, director of nursing, said Monday.
"We're back open to visitors," she said.
Officials at Heritage Place, which has 53 residents and 96 staff members, said a Soldotna physician first found a patient with confirmed pertussis, and others with similar symptoms were screened for the illness.
"Pertussis is not usually screened for," Heritage Place Administrator Dennis Murray said last week.
Symptoms are very similar to those of a common cold, so the infection easily masks itself, he said.
The illness is transmitted when the ill person coughs around others. The most infectious time is the beginning stage of the disease. After about three weeks, people are almost never contagious.
The persistent cough lasts for several weeks, even months.
The state recommends that people with symptoms of pertussis not go to work, school or day care, and they should remain isolated from others until taking appropriate antibiotics for at least five full days.

Best APKs you won't find in the Play Store
Update: Manage your torrents remotely
The vast majority of Android users only ever install applications from Google Play. However, the potential of Android goes way beyond the Play Store and Google services. There's a plethora of APKs that Google doesn't offer, and we've prepared a list of the best Android APKs and apps you can't find in the Play Store.
Best for gaming: Humble Bundle
The legendary Humble Bundle recently received a few updates, meaning it's no longer available in the Play Store (maybe Google now sees it as a competitor?). For the uninitiated, Humble Bundle lets you pay whatever you want to download bundles of high-end games for your Android device (and PC).
The money you pay gets divvied up between charities, the developers and the website. Using this app, you can manage your Android Humble Bundle games library easily, and receive updates on when the next Humble Bundle is available.
Best for streaming: VideoMix
This app is a fantastic resource for streaming your favorite TV shows and movies online. Be aware of your country's laws regarding streaming copyrighted content, though, if you don't want to land yourself in trouble.
Once you've found the show or movie you want to watch, just tap it, pick a site to stream it from, then you'll get an option to choose which video player app you want to play it in. In addition, there's a button that integrates IMDB into the app so you can view the cast and find related torrents.
Click here to see our list of the best video player apps for Android.
Best for YouTube ripping: Videoder
Videoder is probably the most functional YouTube ripper around. You search for the YouTube video you want, and the app displays a variety of formats you can download it in, including 1,080p and MP3 (although both of these are in beta, so may occasionally mess up). You simply set a download directory and get ripping. TubeMate is another app that has similar functionality.
Best for modders: CyanogenMod Installer
The CyanogenMod Installer had a brief stay in the Google Play Store (just two weeks), but hasn't lost popularity since being booted out. It seems that the reason for the app being withdrawn was that it didn't follow Google guidelines for developers because it ''encourages users to void their warranty''.
This APK is actually just software that guides users to activate an ADB, i.e. a debugging tool, to install the CyanogenMod ROM. This app complements a program that transmits this data to the smartphone.
Download CyanogenMod Installer
Best for functionality: LMT Launcher
LMT Launcher is another APK that's very interesting, but doesn't require root. The app offers a detachable menu, which opens into a fan shape and displays various shortcuts.
To open this menu, simply swipe from any edge of the screen toward the center. It is a customizable menu to which you can add your preferred options.
Best for downloaders: Transdroid
For all the keen torrenters out there, Transdroid provides a great way to manage your torrents remotely. It supports home servers and seedboxes. From within the client, you can, among many other things, add torrents, start and stop them, and set priorities.
It supports all the big torrent clients out there, including uTorrent, Deluge and Vuze. You can download a cut-down version from the Play Store, called Transdrone, but, to get the full experience, including integrated torrent search and RSS feeds, make sure to grab the Transdroid APK. Again, be aware of the laws surrounding torrenting in your country.
What's your favorite APK? How do you feel about downloading apps from outside the Play Store? Let us know in the comments.
64 comments
LMT Launcher is a very interesting app for me.
Xposed installer(even though it ask to be updated to latest version sometimes, when it's already updated), to install awesome video player to bring some Oreo goodness to nougat phones. Root is needed for avp, but that's the only reason I sway from the play store, for root apps.
thanks for list
here some site i use
Why is AIO not working properly anymore.it won't show any apps and keeps saying "click to reload"" still nothing
My Fav
spotify premium apk
king root
Movie box hd is great
anybody know of any poker sites u can play for real money on the android box
Wow,videoder is great, i've been downloaded and experienced some similar apps before, neither of them presented so well, never so understandable and accessible, UI and UX are perfect. and there are no ads in it which is rarity for a free app.
Thanks Liu. Your appreciation means a lot to us. If possible please support us by sharing the app as much as possible. Thanks :)
thanks for nice piece of information.
Hey there! Check for Blackmart..u can download all paid apps and games from Blackmart for free!! 😊
Thank's a lott :)
Yeah - That's just Stealing....
No, it's piracy. Stealing removes the original.
theft: to knowingly and willfully deprive a person (a human not an institution) the use or access to his property.
the latest from blackmart was 3 years ago. is BM dead? is this thread really even from this year?
Or go to apk4free.net
You don't need to install app to tip YouTube video or audio. Try responsive webs like www.mp3fe.com .
is there an app like Spotify Premium, but for free?
Yess! I don't know if you still check this but check out my YouTube channel! I have a tutorial on how to get Spotify premium free!

General Grabber HTS60 255/65R16 109H BSW
Great tires
Fast and easy service. Saved 150 dollars over what the dealership wanted for the same tire. Free delivery! Whats not to like?
Daniel West
GREAT EXPERIENCE Overall...
Intentionally Purchased 4 FULL-Size Spare. Have Used for short time while obtaining Winter TIRES. Happy With EASY Transaction as A Brand Name was Actually Affordable, a Quality Product and Most Importantly; IN STOCK & Shipped Promptly!! Definitely Recommend and Would Purchase From This Company Again...
Chad Volpe
Good tires/good brand
Very smooth ride on an older RAV4. They are reasonably quiet and handle nicely on wet and dry roads. I look forward to trying them on snowy conditions. I also have General Grabber AT2's on a 4X4 and couldn't be happier with this brand of tire.
Old School Ernst
Much better than OEM, Smoother ride
I put these on a '14 Honda CR-V and so far like them much better than the OEM tires after two months. Bought one size larger, 235 instead of 225, which probably help to make a smoother ride, and looks better too. The CR-V suspension is too firm for my liking but these tires helped. Great snow traction and good in rain with no hydroplaning so far. The steering effort seems to be much less which is something I noticed right away. The General Tire rebate was a bonus. Delivery was fast and customer service was quick to email a receipt on request for the rebate. I recommend these tires and will likely buy them again for my other vehicle within the next year when the rebate is available again. Time will tell, but so far these are a winner in my book.
Great tires
Just traveled 3500 miles. Quiet, smooth ride. Would not hesitate to buy these kind again.

Canada ends sanctions on EU meat
Canada is to resume normal trade ties with Europe after more than a decade of sanctions, the European Commission announced last week.
The two sides have signed a memorandum of understanding, which should be a key step towards resolving a long-running dispute over Canadian hormone-treated beef.
The Canadians will lift sanctions on EU exporters, while the EU's duty-free tariff rate quota of high-quality Canadian beef imports will be increased by 1.5t until August next year, with a further increase possible in 2013.
Canada has imposed almost 100% duties on EU products, primarily meat, since the sanctions came into effect in 1999, and this has netted over C$11m.
The dispute, which dates back to 1996, arose over an EU ban on US and Canadian beef from animals administered with certain growth-promoting hormones. In 1998, the World Trade Organisation ruled that this violated trade rules, opening the way for the US and Canada to impose sanctions on the EU. The EU argued that the ban had scientific grounding and it was therefore able to impose the restriction within existing trade rules.
The row with the US was resolved in 2009.

Baby Seals Are Cute, Yes, but Taking One Home is Not
BELLINGHAM, WASH._ Repeat after me: Wild baby seals should not be "rescued" off some beach and taken to your home.
Not even when they look so cute they give you a big case of the "aaaaawwwws." Not even if you see them lying on a beach with their mothers nowhere in sight and you're convinced those adorable blobs of helplessness need rescuing. Not even after you look at this photo and think: "Is there anything in the world cuter than a baby seal and a wiener dog living in harmony?"Resist the urge, my friends. Stay away and you'll make people like wildlife biologist Mariann Carrasco much happier even as she acknowledges that we just seem to have that "rescue" response when we see helpless things alone.
"It's like the baby deer hiding in the brush thing," she says.
Carrasco recalls the case last June of a man plucking a week-old male harbor seal from the beach near his home after he thought it had been abandoned.
The man brought the pup to his house, where it then cavorted with his 1-year-old dachshund, Rudy. Not so happy were wildlife officials and others who had the task of returning the animal into the wild after it had come in touch with humans _ and one dog.
Carrasco also is the coordinator of the Whatcom County (Wash.) Marine Mammal Stranding Network, and she's busy this time of year reminding the public to steer clear of harbor seal pups they stumble upon during beachwalks.
You may think something is amiss because a pup is alone when it's just the nature of harbor seals.
"In fact, there's nothing wrong at all," Carrasco says.
Harbor seals are born in this area starting in June and continuing into August. Most momma seals give birth in places that are protected but also may do so in any spot where there is easy access to water, hence the wideopen beach you might be walking upon.
Here are other things you should know about harbor seals and the best ways to deal with pups that are hanging out alone on shorelines:
_After giving birth, the female will go in search of food _ leaving her pup on the beach during the day and coming back at night to feed it.
_Nursing seal pups stay with their mothers for four to six weeks, according to National Marine Fisheries Service. Approaching a seal pup may frighten away its mother. If human interference continues, the mother may give up and leave her pup. Remain at least 100 yards away and keep dogs away and leashed. Seals may bite or carry diseases.
_Plus, disturbing them is a violation of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, one that brings with it jail time and a fine of as much as $20,000.
_Don't pour water on pups or cover them. Harbor seals haul themselves out of the water several times each day to regulate their body temperature, relax, socialize with each other and sleep.
_A female harbor seal will give birth to one pup, in the spring. She'll haul out of the water during low tide to give birth on sandbars, beaches or reefs. The babies can swim within an hour of being born. A pup's first year is tough, as 50 percent of them will die.
_Tell others if pups are present and remind them to stay away. Report harassment, injuries and abandonment. If the mother has not returned in 48 hours, the pup could need help.
As for the seal pup that was plucked from the Whatcom County beach on June 19, he was taken to Wolf Hollow wildlife rehabilitation center in Friday Harbor.
The staff named him Nilas. The pup weighed a thin but healthy 17 pounds when he arrived. He had grown to 53 pounds and had learned how to catch his own fish when he was released into the east side of San Juan Island, Wash. on Sept. 8, along with two other rescued pups that were about the same age.

SUNDAY MONEY: SPENDING; Old McDonald Had a Produce-Buying Co-op
By JENNIFER ALSEVER
Published: August 6, 2006
BUYING vegetables has become somewhat of an event for Joan Morykin. Every Monday evening, she rounds up her family and drives 10 minutes to the 14 Acre Farm in Summit Hill, Pa., where they pick up a box of fresh vegetables and join dozens of other families for a weekly potluck.
Ms. Morykin is a member of 14 Acre Farm's ''community-supported agriculture'' program, in which she pays $80 a month to receive a weekly bag of food -- including fresh-baked bread, tea, herbs, potatoes and vegetables.
''It is truly a community experience that you're not going to get shopping at a gourmet grocery store,'' she said.
More consumers are going directly to small local farms to buy their produce, often by becoming share members of such programs, a reflection of the growth of the organic food movement.
The way a program works can vary depending on the farm. Some run year-round and cost $40 a delivery; others last for a five- to six-month growing season and can cost $200 to $700 and have membership fees paid up front.
While some members consider their investments costly, others say buying food this way is more economical. At least one farmer, Deborah Walton, owner of the Canvas Ranch in Petaluma, Calif., says she can charge a premium for produce sold through these programs: $1.25 for a tomato, for example. Consumers say they're willing to pay extra to support a local farm and get fresh organic produce.
Deliveries can be weekly, every two months, or anything between. What's in the bag can also vary, from basic produce to specialty items like a side of beef and honey. Customers may go to the farm or to a local pickup point to get their food, but some farms deliver direct to consumers' doorsteps.
More than 1,200 of these programs now operate nationwide, with about 150 new ones emerging each year, said Guillermo Payet, majority owner of LocalHarvest.org, which offers a database listing farm programs as well as farmer's markets. ''It's growing fast,'' he said.
Mr. Payet said more people were drawn to the taste and quality of local food, and they increasingly want to know where their food was coming from.
''It's going back to the way it was a hundred years ago, where a family goes to the local farm,'' he said. ''It's the community, going back to the land, that people like.''
That's not to say the programs are for everyone. Unlike a traditional investment share, consumers don't literally own any stake in the farm, and if a farm has a bad season and no crop, the membership fee may not be refunded. There are ways to guard against that kind of loss. Purple Dragon, a farm program in Glen Ridge, N.J., is not affiliated with a particular farm, so customers would never lose their share if one farm had a bad crop.
In many cases, deliveries don't take a vacation, and share members who do should arrange for someone else to pick up their food. Mr. Payet said share members would typically be offered no credit for an unclaimed delivery.
Consumers may also not be able to choose which vegetables they receive from the farm, getting instead whatever is seasonal and ready for picking. The produce sometimes arrives extremely dirty, since it's pulled out of the ground and plunked into a bag -- a benefit to people who prefer fewer hands touching their food, but a drawback for those too busy to wash produce thoroughly. Finding time to pick up the food can be tough for some busy families.
''We lose about 20 percent of our members each year,'' said Jacquie Monroe, who along with her husband, Jerry, runs Monroe Organic Farms, a 155-acre farm in Kersey, Colo., an hour northeast of Denver. ''It's not always convenient. You're probably going past your supermarket to pick up'' your food. Even so, the farm membership increases about 30 percent a year.
Peg McLaughlin quit her membership in a farm outside San Diego after getting too much produce she didn't really like -- besides the fact that her children and her husband aren't big vegetable lovers.
''It was just weird kinds of stuff,'' Ms. McLaughlin said of her deliveries. ''I would get gigantic heads of bok choy, a kind of Chinese celery, and I didn't know how to use it. It was taking up huge amounts of my refrigerator space.''
But Kristin Whitley, a hotel sales manager in San Francisco, has kept her membership for nearly three years with Canvas Ranch in nearby Petaluma, paying $480 a season to have produce delivered to her door each week.
''It's convenient,'' Ms. Whitley said. ''It's the best produce I've had. And I like supporting the organic community. I don't buy vegetables at the grocery store anymore.''
IN fact, a number of farmers may be surviving only because of people like Ms. Whitley. With these programs, farmers have guaranteed customers for their crops and upfront cash before they ever put seeds in the ground.
That's important, because an estimated 185,000 farms have gone out of business in the last 30 years, according to the Census Bureau. ''It's been quite critical to the financial viability of the farm,'' said Judith Redmond, one of the owners of Full Belly Farm in Guinda, Calif., north of San Francisco.
Ms. Redmond sells produce at farmers' markets, restaurants and grocery chains, but 30 percent of her $2 million in revenue comes from her community-supported agriculture program.
Still, running such a program involves extensive planning to ensure a constant flow of food, competitive pricing and smooth customer pickups and deliveries -- tasks some farmers choose to do without.
Some farms enlist their own customers to help them, offering a discount for the work. Called ''working shares,'' customers can often get 50 percent off their membership by loading boxes or offering their home as a pickup station.
As a working member of Monroe Organic Farms, Michelle Cuthbertson rises at 5 a.m. each Wednesday during the summer, loads her two children, ages 9 and 6, in the car and drives an hour from her home in Lafayette, Colo., to the farm. There, she packs bags of vegetables, strawberries and eggs, and loads them onto trucks while her children play in the barn. For the work, she gets half off a $380 membership.
But she doesn't do it only for the discount. Rather, she wants to be involved in the process by which her food travels to her dinner table and wants to teach her children about the work involved.
''They totally get it,'' Ms. Cuthbertson said. ''The best-tasting food they know comes from that farm, and it comes from the people on the farm who grow it.''
Ms. Monroe, whose family farm has been around since 1936, said that kind of connection with consumers was important if small farms were to survive.
To get people to feel a sense of ownership, she encourages members to pick their own asparagus and strawberries, and she plays host at a fall potluck celebration at the farm with hayrides, corn mazes and pumpkin patches. ''When people are disconnected from the farm, they don't care anymore,'' she said.

Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, who's hosting an "Environmental Advisory Webcast" today, said he's putting $500 million more of the state pension fund into green investments over the next three years.
The move would bring the total investments related to renewable energy or clean technology to nearly $1 billion, out of a fund last valued at about
$140 $154.5 billion.
In a release from his office, DiNapoli said it isn't just a pro-environment philosophy that's driving the investments: " "Clean technology and renewable energy have become increasingly profitable. It's not just about doing good for the environment; going green is good for the bottom line too."

Death Cab manager convicted in girlfriend assault
Updated 4:37 pm, Tuesday, November 12, 2013
A San Francisco music executive who manages indie rock bands including Death Cab for Cutie and produces the Noise Pop music festival pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor assault charges stemming from an altercation with an ex-girlfriend in September, records show.
Jordan Kurland, 41, of San Francisco was sentenced Thursday to three years of probation and 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling, according to the city district attorney's office. A misdemeanor battery charge originally filed against Kurland was dropped.
Kurland's attorney, Harris Taback, said Tuesday that his client did not admit committing physical violence. Misdemeanor assault is defined as an "unlawful attempt" to injure someone.

Kurland was arrested Sept. 29 at his home in Bernal Heights by officers who responded to an altercation between him and his girlfriend of four years, according to a police report. The Chronicle is not naming the girlfriend, who asked police for confidentiality.
In a written statement to police, Kurland said he pushed the woman to the ground and kicked her in the side during a "heated" argument that began when he asked her to move out. Kurland also said his girlfriend had pushed him, while police reported that the woman admitted she had sought to provoke him.
"All very unfortunate," Kurland wrote. "I feel terrible and ashamed."
Kurland is owner and founder of Zeitgeist Artist Management, which has helped shape the careers of popular acts such as Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Mould and She & Him. He has also produced several boutique music festivals, including the Noise Pop indie music and arts series and the Treasure Island Music Festival.
