FjallRaven Sten Fleece Product description:Lightweight and soft fleece sweater made from recycled polyester with a slightly marbled look. Just as comfortable under a shell jacket when gazing out from the Skierfe cliff on a crisp day as it is attractive on its own as dusk falls over your summer cabin. The fleece is manufactured in an environmentally friendly process that both spins and dyes the thread in the same step. For this model, that means about 50 percent less water and 31 percent less energy consumption compared to a traditionally produced fleece sweater. Reinforcement in durable G-1000 over the shoulders results in less friction under your backpack's shoulder straps. High collar protects you from biting winds, and there is a protective flap of fleece between the zipper and chin. Two spacious zippered side pockets. All of the zipper flaps are made from natural tone leather.

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen could be set to announce some special news, after an engagement ring was spotted on the actress' finger.
The couple have been together for more than a year after meeting on the set of the 2008 film "Jumper."
And there could soon be wedding bells according to New York gossip column Page Six, after Bilson was spotted on a flight from Los Angeles airport to New York's JFK on Monday wearing a sparkling diamond ring.
A source tells the publication, "A man sitting in front of her on the plane saw a ring on her finger and asked if she was married."
And Bilson was said to have replied, "I'm not married yet, just engaged. I know I look like I'm 15 but I'm actually 27."

Yesterday I was on the phone with one of my lay leaders talking about the congregational meeting one of my parishes is having next Sunday. We hashed out some details and were about to hang up when he asked me, "Hey, what's up with this May 21st thing?" He joked with me about whether or not the world was about to end. I told him that if it was we sure didn't have to worry about the congregational meeting anymore.
A lot of people have asked me about May 21st this week. Christian fundamentalists are telling us that come Saturday the faithful will be raptured into heaven. No one who has asked me about it has actually believed it was going to happen.
The idea of the rapture is actually fairly new in Christian theology, appearing only in the past few centuries and not held by my mainline church. My parishioners and friends weren't wondering whether or not the rapture would occur, but they were curious where the campaign started. That got me curious.
It turns out that the man behind the end of the world panic is Harold Camping, the 89-year-old founder of Family Radio. Over the years Camping has used his right-wing religious radio station to spread his peculiar version of Christian faith. He's never been a champion of diversity or tolerance, so I didn't expect him to be a big believer in LGBTQ rights. But when I went to his website to read more, I was surprised to find exactly what he believed about us: We are responsible for the impending end of the world.

The 22-year-old is understood to have been involved with Daiane Rodrigues, the girlfriend of Marcelo Santos, an organized crime boss, which prompted the attack.
After being seen by the criminal's gang, Bernardo and Rodrigues were taken to Timbau Hill, where they were tied up and beaten.
According to some witnesses, Rodrigues was shot several times in the leg and was only released from hospital on Thursday. The player was admitted to the Souza Aguiar Hospital and was also discharged on Thursday.
Vasco's sporting director Rene Simoes has revealed that he will offer his player all the support he needs after the incident.
"I spoke to Bernardo recently and our priority is to give full support to the player," he said. "Of course Vasco do not want his name involved in anything other than what he achieves on the sports field. Bernardo will receive support from the club while legal proceedings are being undertaken."

Hi! This is Felix is Lucky. I chose that name because I recently discovered that Felix is Latin for the lucky one, and I thought that was awesome :). Anyway, I love to read and write (otherwise I probably wouldn't be here...). My greatest desire is to become a published author. I love the Harry Potter books, the Narnia books, and many mangas. I've written stories about some of these on fanfiction.net, under the name of Berrie Salamander. By some, I mean twenty one. :)
But I'm here to write and read original stories. I'm looking forward to it.

MOSCOW – Thursday's high-level talks in Geneva on Ukraine come as the country's eastern regions are awash in turmoil and pro-Russian insurgents have seized police stations and government buildings in at least nine cities.
But for all the anxiety about Ukraine's future — bolstered by Vladimir Putin's contention the country is on the verge of civil war — the top diplomats of Ukraine, Russia, the United States and the European Union may find their positions so far apart that no one can find a compromise.
A look at the parties in the talks and their levers of power:
What Russia says it wants: Since the ouster of Ukraine's Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych in February, Moscow has consistently pushed for Ukraine to become a federalized state, in which the country's regions would have more powers outside the central government in Kyiv. That could let some Ukraine regions pursue closer trade ties with Russia — or even vote to join Russia.
What it really wants: It deeply wants Ukraine to stay away from NATO membership and to be drawn back into Russia's orbit instead of coming under the sway of the European Union.
What it would settle for: Ukraine not in NATO or the EU and in a trade confederation that Moscow will build, according to Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of the Russia In Global Affairs journal. Russia is likely to push hard for these, even at the risk of more sanctions. "If further sanctions are imposed, this is the price Putin will accept and certainly he will not concede," said analyst Masha Lipman of the Carnegie Moscow Center.
What the U.S. says it wants: The Obama administration wants Russia to drop its claim to have annexed Crimea and drawn down its troops on the strategic peninsula to pre-crisis levels. The White House is also demanding the Kremlin halt provocative actions by pro-Russian militia in eastern Ukraine that the West believes are being funded and co-ordinated by Moscow.
What it really wants: The U.S. wants the above — but it also wants Russia to stop bullying Ukraine, especially in the energy sector, which it sees as a worrisome precedent for other former Soviet republics such as Georgia, Moldova and the Baltics. Washington also still needs Russian co-operation on thorny diplomatic issues such as Iran.
What it would settle for: The U.S. will not recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea but that's by and large a done deal. The U.S. would settle for the Kremlin to just halt its provocations in eastern and southern Ukraine and end any efforts at destabilizing the country.
What Ukraine says it wants: Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says for the Geneva talks "there is only one, fundamental directive: Russia must pull out its saboteur groups and denounce terrorists."
What it really wants: Analyst Vadim Karasyov says behind the scenes, Ukraine will be talking about how best to decentralize power so regions don't want to break away and join Russia. "They will be searching for some kind of compromise with Russia because nobody wants to go to war," he said.
What it would settle for: Ukraine wants Russia to stop supporting insurgents in the east. It is also likely to be playing for time, hoping to keep the situation on the ground comparatively calm ahead of the May 25 presidential election. If that vote goes smoothly, Russia will lose its leverage of tarring Ukraine as being led by an illegitimate government.
What the EU says it wants: EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton's spokeswoman says the 28-nation bloc wants direct talks between Russia and Ukraine to calm down the tensions in eastern Ukraine. If that situation deteriorates further, EU leaders have threatened to introduce biting economic sanctions against Russia.
What it really wants: The EU wants pro-Russian groups to stop seizing government facilities in eastern Ukraine. It also wants to lessen Ukraine's economic dependency on Russia, offering a wide-ranging aid package, a free trade agreement and help in reducing the country's reliance on Russian natural gas.
What it would settle for: Tacitly, though not legally, the EU has accepted Ukraine's loss of the Crimean Peninsula to Russia but it won't accept a further partition of the country. It has hinted it could accommodate some of Russia's concerns about the EU-Ukraine free trade agreement if this could smooth Kyiv's dealings with Moscow.

Considerations for Deploying Deduplication in a Small Business Environment
Deduplication has been one of the hottest technologies in the storage industry for almost three years and has grown into a mainstream technology from the large enterprise down to the small business and remote office. Shrinking hardware costs combined with the introduction of larger drive sizes and large amounts of duplicate data sets in backup environments has made deduplication technology very affordable. Most small and medium businesses (SMBs) lack dedicated IT staff, and any dedicated IT staff are typically IT generalists and not storage backup specialists. This means most SMBs rely heavily on local technology partners to help them evaluate, implement and maintain the right IT solutions. Read this white paper to learn the important questions SMB managers must ask their trusted technology partners as they consider deploying deduplication in an SMB environment.

The Centers for Disease Control will investigate whether Maine soldiers were exposed to dangerous chemicals, including Agent Orange, while training at a military base in New Brunswick.
The head of the agency, Dr. Thomas Frieden, made the promise in a letter to U.S. Senator Susan Collins.
MaineToday Media says more than 100 former National Guard soldiers from the state have sought disability benefits for health problems believed linked to their training at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown.
The Department of Veteran Affairs rejected the claims because there's no evidence that Agent Orange, a Vietnam War-era chemical defoliant, was used during the time thousands of Maine soldiers trained at the base.
The Canadian government agreed in 2007 to make $20,000 payments to hundreds of Canadian veterans and their families who served at Gagetown and later became ill after being exposed to Agent Orange in the 1960s.

City councilmembers and state legislators are scrambling to pass resolutions, seeking to significantly reform the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) as it decides whether to increase rent for rent-stabilized tenants citywide.
"The RGB has become a sideshow, a predictable and silly display that holds no regard either for the residents or their circumstances, and that must change," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said in testimony delivered to the Rent Guidelines Board last week. "We need to restore faith in the entire RGB from the ground up. We need to change the process for the better."
Quinn and Councilmember Letitia James are co-sponsoring a resolution in support of legislation making its way through the State Senate called the Rent Guidelines Reform Bill.
The bill proposes to automatically deny rent increases for landlords with buildings that have serious violations for a period of one year, restructure the board by adding three tenant members, and require that both income and expense information be considered when determining whether a rent increase is necessary instead of just relying on the Price Index of Operating costs for determining guidelines.
The bill will also require board members to be knowledgeable of affordable housing practices and require that the City Council must approve any mayoral appointments to the board.
"I love the idea of having City Council approve mayoral appointees and determine whether members can be a fair representative of both tenants and landlords," State Senator Eric Adams said. "I believe it is important to have more tenant participation in the process."
Adams said his office has been receiving complaints from tenants whose landlords are failing to address violations in order to push tenants out. He has been lobbying Republican colleagues to pass the RGB reform bill and believes that the vote will come down to the decisions of Republican state senators representing New York City districts, such as Senators Serphin Maltese and Frank Padavan.
"We're getting a lot of pushback from Republican counterparts, but the dynamic is different," Adams said. "The public must compel downstate senators in order for the bill to get passed. Renters for the most part are in the downstate area."
James has seen similar complaints from her constituents in Fort Greene. She has sought to halt the displacement of rent stabilized tenants in Downtown Brooklyn by helping steer the passage of the Safe Housing Act and the Tenant Harassment Act through the City Council earlier this year. The City Council will not be able to overturn the Rent Guideline's decision regarding rent increases this week, but James pledged to find ways to prevent long-term tenants from being priced out of their homes.
"We all have to make sacrifices but landlords in rent-stabilized buildings have received considerable increases over the years," James said. "It appears that the Rent Guidelines Board is stacked against tenants. If landlords seek increases, they should open up their books."
Housing advocates who have attended the Rent Guideline Board hearings over the past two weeks have called for moratoriums against any additional increases for rent-stabilized tenants this year. Last year, tenants received increases of three percent for one-year leases and five percent for two-year leases.
"We support the initiatives in Albany restructuring the Rent Guideline Board," said Rolando Guzman, a housing organizer with St. Nicholas NPC in Williamsburg. "We think the bill will be passed after November."
Sister Kathy Maire, assistant director of the Bushwick Housing Independence Project disagrees, believes the legislation does not address fundamental tenant issues and that the Board should be disbanded entirely.
"The problem is as rents go up, salaries do not go up and tenants can not afford rent increases. It just can't happen," said Maire.

Spinning heads, green vomit, bean bags - none of these things will be seen in the Turner prize exhibition which opens today at the Tate Gallery in London. Instead, visitors to the annual showcase of contemporary British art, which features the four shortlisted artists for this year's prize, will see a room of paintings, another filled with black and white photographs, and a third dominated by a depiction of the solar system.
The room that should have featured a slowed down version of the 1974 horror film The Exorcist - spinning heads and all - instead houses two large screens showing a clip from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, starring Frederic March, made in 1932.
The Tate is understood to have dismissed Douglas Gordon's proposal to screen The Exorcist because of worries about its 18 certificate. His less threatening suggestion that bean bags be placed on the floor to allow art lovers to watch the film in comfort was rejected on safety grounds.
Mr Gordon gained recognition with a slowed down version of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho which lasted for 24 hours.
The Turner Prize, worth £40,000, has in the past thrived on controversy. But this year's shortlist - and now the exhibition - have been criticised as anodyne. "I'm almost tempted to say 'Come back Damien Hirst, all is forgiven'. It was pitiful," said David Lee, editor of Art Review magazine, yesterday. "The Turner Prize very rarely has any good art in it but it's great for getting people talking about art. What alarms me is the way that this sort of unexceptional art can be taken seriously."
Gary Hume, one of the shortlisted artists, said he tried to put the thought that he was exhibiting in the Tate out of his mind when preparing the exhibition. "I just went in to my studio and painted every day," he said. "Showing in the Tate is one of your dreams when you're a little boy."
Virginia Button, curator of the Turner Prize exhibition since 1993, said: "More than any other year, it's difficult to pick a winner. This year shows there is no formula."
The bookmakers had other views, with William Hill making Gary Hume favourite at 6/4. Mr Hume revealed that he had already placed a bet. "I put money on myself," he said.
The four artists were selected by a jury following nominations from the public. Previous winners include Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Anthony Gormley, Howard Hodgkin, and Gilbert & George. This year's winner, who will receive £20,000, will be announced on November 28.
The shortlisted artists
· Simon Patterson, born 1967, Leatherhead, Surrey. Odds 7/4. Based in east London. After studying at Goldsmith's College, London, he came to attention with a series of signs, including Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor which consisted of four words printed and mounted in a frame. His signature work is The Great Bear, included at the Tate, a redrawing of the London Underground map which replaces the names of stations with the names of well-known figures. The Tate also includes First Circle, a renaming of the solar system.
· Gary Hume, born 1962. Odds 6/4. Based in east London. After studying at Goldsmith's College, Hume made his name with a series of paintings of hospital doors, aiming to make them as realistic as possible. Since then he has moved on to a series of highly-finished paintings. Some are described as intensely personal, while others deal with celebrity. His Turner Prize show includes a portrait of Kate Moss in which the model's face has been polished to a blank, and Innocence and Stupidity, which borrows the image of a rabbit from a medieval French tapestry.
· Douglas Gordon, born 1966. Odds 14/1. Based in Glasgow. The only shortlisted artist based outside London, Gordon is also the outsider. He studied at the Slade in London and returned to his native Glasgow, where he produced his 24-hour Psycho. Other notable work includes List of Names, a list of 1,440 names of people he had met who came into his mind while he was making the work. He shaved one arm for a video piece included in the Turner show, and future plans include a slowed-down version of John Ford's 1956 film The Searchers to last five years, the same time as the film's plot.
· Craigie Horsfield, born 1949. Odds 7/2. Based in east London. The oldest of the shortlisted artists, Horsfield came to art comparatively late in life. His intentions are grand: to chart "the history of our century ... the seething extent of the human condition". During the 1970s, while living in Poland, he taught design and worked as a part-time disc jockey. He returned to the United Kingdom but only came to attention in 1988 with an exhibition of his Polish work at the ICA. He often leaves time between shooting his photographs and printing them, although his Turner show of photographs of Barcelona is an exception.

Vancouver's Starring Role
By MARY ANN ALBRIGHT
Filmmaker Darryl Roberts, second from left, greets Mountain View High School students, from left, Katrina Olsen, Eli Bauer, Danika Hamann and Millie Bernatovicz, all 17, before the local premiere of Roberts' film, "America the Beautiful," in Portland on Tuesday."America the Beautiful" features former Wy'east Middle School students discussing the pressure they face to be beautiful. The film's premiere drew a crowd from Vancouver.
Chicago filmmaker Darryl Roberts attended premieres in Los Angeles and New York for his documentary, "America the Beautiful," which explores our nation's obsession with physical appearances. But while these events may have had red carpets, flashing lights, the possibility of star sightings and after-parties with crab cakes, they didn't have the genuine joy exhibited Tuesday night by the 120- plus people who turned out at Portland's Regal Fox Tower Stadium 10 to support Roberts.
"You can tell everyone's here to celebrate in a real way," said Roberts, 46.
This sincerity was something Roberts came to appreciate during the two years he lived in Vancouver while gathering footage for "America the Beautiful" and working with Pedro Peraza, the film's editor, and Dennis Damore, executive producer.
Both Peraza and Damore, along with their families, beamed with pride at the Portland opening.
"It's been five years in the making," said 42-year-old Peraza.
Shortly into the film, which uses the story of a young model named Gerren Taylor to illustrate society's unattainable standards of beauty, murmurs of recognition rippled through the audience.
Students from Wy'east Middle School in Vancouver filled the screen, discussing the pressure to be beautiful.
Some former Wy'east students came to the screening and enjoyed seeing people they know in the movie. They still remember when Roberts filmed at their school more than three years ago.
"It was so crazy," said 17-year-old Katrina Olsen of Vancouver, now a senior at Mountain View High School.
"It was like the most exciting thing that ever happened at our school," added Danika Hamann, 17, of Vancouver, also a Mountain View High School senior.
Roberts praised Vancouver parents for insulating their children from the insecurities and shallowness plaguing the rest of America.
Still, the desire to fit in does exist in Clark County. The best antidote, Hamann and Olsen said, is choosing friends who don't obsess over looking like models in magazines or actresses on television.
"We're not out there to impress other people," Hamann said.
"We are who we are," Olsen confirmed.
That's a mentality Vancouver resident Mary Muhich hopes to instill in daughter Emily, whom she brought to the premiere.
Muhich, who teaches Advanced Placement psychology at Mountain View High School, is featured in "America the Beautiful," discussing with her students how advertisers objectify and sexualize women to sell products.
Muhich, 40, wants Emily to gain that same understanding and build her self-esteem based on virtues other than looks.
"I want her to see how superficial our society is when it comes to appearances, and to learn to embrace all looks, shapes, sizes and colors. To embrace herself," Muhich said.
If you go
What: "America the Beautiful," rated R for some language, sexual references.
When: Opens Friday. Advanced screening: 7 p.m. today.
Where: Regal Fox Tower Stadium 10, 846 S.W. Park Ave., Portland.
Cost: $10 adults; $9 students; $8 matinee; $7 children, seniors and military. Tonight's screening is free.

Autocar says the model will ride on the company's Premium Lightweight Architecture - which recently debuted on the new Range Rover - and use a variety of fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines. In an effort to reduce costs, up to 90 percent of the components could be shared with the next-generation XF and XJ.
In a rather frank admission, Jaguar global brand director Adrian Hallmark acknowledged it wouldn't be easy to go toe-to-toe with BMW and Mercedes. As explained, "It took Audi 20 years to build up to where it is. For us to come in and go to the top of the league is impossible, so we have to find ways of expanding our business profitably and we're well developed in that process."
That's a little vague, but Hallmark hinted the company will introduce something with their own "twist." The executive added we can expect a variety of different body styles including a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon.
The decision to move ahead with the entry-level model has resulted in the crossover being put on the back burner. According to Hallmark, "Even though the SUV market is growing, the saloon market is still twice the size, especially in the US." He added that since Land Rover already makes crossovers, Jaguar doesn't feel rushed to get one to market as soon as possible.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). It is the time of year when we mourn those who have died as a result of domestic violence, celebrate those who have survived, and seek to connect those who work to end the violence. In support of the principles of DVAM, the Adams County Commissioners and other important county agencies issued a proclaimation declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Adams County.
The final paragraph of the proclamation read: "Therefore be it resolved, the County Commissioners of Adams County, Ohio along with the Y\VCA, Adams County Prosecutor's Office, Adams County Job and Family Services, Adams County Children's Services, Adams County Local Law Enforcement, Adams County Regional Medical Center and other important agencies hereby proclaim that October, 2015 be designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urges our citizens to recognize and assist all those that serve the lights and needs of victims of domestic violence."
Last month marked the twentieth anniversary of the Violence against Women Act. Since the passage of that law, domestic violence has dropped by two-thirds, but there is still work to be done. Domestic violence claims the lives of three women every day.
Domestic abuse, also known as spousal abuse, occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to dominate and control the other person. Domestic abuse that includes physical violence is called domestic violence.
Domestic violence and abuse have only one purpose: to gain total control over the victim. Abusers use fear, guilt, shame, and intimidation to wear down and isolate their victims. The abuser may also threaten and cause physical injury to the victim in order to maintain control..
Domestic abuse or violence can happen to anyone, yet the problem is often overlooked, denied or excused, especially if it is psychological, sexual, or verbal. It strikes couples of all races, religions, social economic status, and sexual orientations.
There are four recognized forms of domestic violence and abuse: physical, sexual, emotional, and financial.
Physical abuse is about power, getting and keeping control over another person through intimidation while creating an environment of unrelenting fear.
Physical abuse includes: punching, kicking, slapping, hitting, strangling, smothering, using or threatening to use weapons, shoving interrupting your sleep, throwing things, destroying property, hurting or killing pets, and denying medical treatment.
Physical abuse may not always occur in an abusive relationship, but if it is present early on, it generally gets worse as time passes.
Sexual abuse is common in almost all abusive relationships, but it is also the least discussed. Sexual abuse may include: physically forcing sex, making the victim feel fearful about saying no to sex, forcing sex with other partners, forcing participation in demeaning or degrading sexual acts, violence or name calling during sex, and denying contraception or protection from sexually transmitted diseases.
Because human beings become emotionally invested in their relationships, emotional abuse is always present in abusive relationships. It is a tactic used by abusive partners to obtain power and control and it can cause extreme, life-long damage to the victim. Emotional abuse makes the victim feel like they are responsible for the abuse. Victims feel worthless, hopeless, and may even begin to doubt their own sanity. It is so damaging that many survivors of domestic violence report that they would rather "be hit" than endure the ongoing psychic damage of emotional abuse.
Emotional abuse may include: constant put downs or criticisms, name calling, minimizing or blaming the victim for the abuse, using threats to create fear, isolation from family and friends, excessive jealously, and accusations of cheating.
Financial abuse is one of the least known but one of the most powerful tactics used to entrap a victim in a relationship. It is so powerful that many victims of abuse describe it as the main reason that they stayed in an abusive relationship or went back to one.
Some forms of financial abuse include: giving you an allowance, not letting you have your own money, hiding family assets, running up debt, interfering with your job, and ruining your credit.
Some forms of financial abuse include: controlling the victims access to money, hiding family assets, running up debt, interfering with the victim's job, and ruining the victim's credit.
Intimate partner violence affects more than 2 million women and 800,000 men each year. It is an extremely serious public-health problem that can lead to homelessness, injury, or death of victims, billions of dollars in health-care costs, and lost work productivity
Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to violence. While physical injury is the most obvious danger, the emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are also very severe. Emotionally abusive relationships can destroy feelings of self-worth, lead to anxiety and depression, and make the victim feel helpless and alone. No one should have to endure that kind of suffering—and the first step to breaking free is recognizing that the situation is abusive. Once you acknowledge the reality of the abusive situation, then you can get the help you need.
Acknowledging the signs of an abusive relationship is the first step in changing the victim's circumstances.
Some of the most important warning signs a victim may experience include feeling degraded or put down, assaulted, or controlled. Additionally, concerns expressed by close friends and family members who see troubling patterns in the relationship.
Warning signs friends, family members, and coworkers can look for include frequent absences from school or work, numerous injuries the victim tries to explain away, low self-esteem, a change in personality, fear of conflicts, self-blaming, and isolation from others.
The prognosis of domestic violence can be quite negative if it goes on untreated. The emotional and physical consequences of continued abuse can be severe and even end in homicide. Treatment can improve prognosis.
The first and most important step in treating domestic abuse is to get the victim into a safe environment. Physical assault or battering is a crime, whether it occurs inside or outside of the family. The police have the power and authority to protect a victim. Thusly, the second step in treating domestic abuse is providing appropriate legal consequences to the batterer.
Laws against domestic abuse are essential in the effort to protect battered men and women from their abusers. Laws like the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) that was passed in 1994 and renewed in 2000 and in 2013, as well as anti-stalking and anti-cyber-stalking legislation provides significant prison terms and fines of up to more than $200,000 to discourage abusive behaviors. The Federal Gun Control Act and federal firearm offenses also now include provisions for domestic violence related crimes.

Hey, everyone!
This one is especially for the computer students out there.
While witnessing a conversation among some ICSE students, we came across a YouTube Channel recommended by one of the computer students, saying (in his words) that the tutor is an ex-ICSE student and that he explains well.
Here is the link:
Java Programming for ICSE
This is what the tutor, Sumit Shyamsukha, has to say about his videos:
"A tutorial series on Java Programming for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (classes IX and X)."
On further research, we found out that he graduated from tenth grade in March, 2013 and scored a perfect 100/100 in Computer Applications!
Do check out his videos! Hope they help! 🙂

In honor of World AIDS Day, we spoke to Project Runway star Mondo Guerra—who revealed his HIV positive status on the show—about his work with HIV/AIDS and why it's important to keep talking about the epidemic.
What does World AIDS Day mean to you?
It's a reminder for me personally that I'm still living with HIV. But I think on a larger scale, it reminds everybody that we're still fighting this disease and there isn't a cure. It's a message that needs to be addressed again. I feel that we've forgotten about this epidemic. Nobody talks about it anymore, because people aren't dying from it all the time. It's really important to open up a conversation about it again.
You're one of the few celebs talking about HIV/AIDS in the media. Are you looking to make this issue your platform?
I would like to consider it a platform. Listen, when I was infected, I thought it was the end of the world for me. Now that I have an opportunity to speak out on it and educate and remind people where we're at with this disease, I'm going to definitely take it to the next level. I hope that I can continue to speak out on it and encourage people to start talking about it.
HIV/AIDS used to be viewed as a death sentence, but that's not true anymore. Is it?
Yeah, exactly, it's not a death sentence. But that being said, I feel like people have stopped talking about it and there's not enough attention being brought to the issue. It's really important for us to keep moving forward and finding a cure.
Tell us about your partnership with Piperlime in honor of World AIDS Day?
Piperlime is an online store for mostly women's apparel and shoes. They approached me and they wanted to do a partnership with me to design a couple of T-shirts. With my story being unveiled on the show and the response I got from my fans, I felt it was important to not only do this project with Piperlime, but if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it for a cause. Fashion can definitely service a purpose other than just getting dressed in the morning. I told them, 'World AIDS Day is coming up, so why don't we do something where we donate the money for AIDS Research?' The T-shirts I designed come out on today, December 1st on piperlime.com. They're $50 each, and 20 dollars from each sale goes to amfAR AIDS Research.
What influenced the designs on the t-shirts?
One of the t-shirts has a design of The Day of the Dead and it's from my final collection on Project Runway. In Mexican culture the day of the dead is not about dying—it's about remembrance and about loving the ones that have passed and living your life in their memory. The other t-shirt is just a tree that has no leaf on it, but has a single hanging heart and in Spanish it says 'Live and Love.' The inspiration for that came from what I learned on the show. That you can love other people and you can allow other people to love you back, but you have to start by loving yourself first.
We hear you're going to Washington D.C. on behalf of the UN for World AIDS Day.
I will be there [today] on World AIDS Day to speak at the UN. I have to tell you that I am SUPER nervous! I'm just going to get up there and tell them my life story. I want to talk about when I came out, and why I didn't reveal my HIV status for such a long time. I don't think people understand that there is still such a stigma behind being HIV positive. I'm going to tell them what I have had to go through to get the attention that I felt I deserved in Colorado. I was working in a theater and I didn't have insurance, so I had to do the government funded programs [for treatment]. Through the government funded programs, there was just so much that I had to prove and it felt like I had to jump through so many hoops to the point where I actually got sick and ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. It wasn't until then that people were like, 'Oh my gosh, this person is on their death bed, maybe we should pay attention a little bit more to what he's asking.' I just think that this has to be addressed. This is a true story.
What message do you have for those who are newly diagnosed with HIV?
That this isn't the end. They should continue to live their day 100 percent, and continue to love yourself and allow people to care for you. And let them support you no matter what. Don't feel ashamed and just move forward.

Mike Vaccaro
PORTLAND He cant win.
Thats the best defense Im going to muster for Carmelo Anthony, and even by saying that I understand what it implies out of context: that he cant win. That he cant get his teams out of the first round of the NBA playoffs. That he is a terrific player, not a winning player. You hear the arguments. Hell, it may well be that you argue that side of the argument. And Im not going to tell you youre wrong. But well return to the question of Anthony the winner a little later.
Lets look at it the other way: he cant win. He cant catch a break. He cant ever be given the benefit of the doubt by so many because to give him the benefit of the doubt is to offer undue sympathy to a millionaire who knew exactly what he was getting into when he chose New York and all that goes along with the money and the city. So no matter what he does, he gets two sides of a debate both, somehow, aiming their darts and their arrows at him.
For instance:
Argument I: Carmelo is a selfish player. Just look at what he did Wednesday night in Denver, knowing he had a bum knee, knowing he wasnt 100 percent, knowing that when he isnt 100 percent he doesnt have that gene that allows him to play well in spite of his ailments. That was the gene Michael Jordan had, the one Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have. If Melo were hurting, the argument goes, he owed it to his team to sit out, or to get his knee drained sooner than yesterday, missing the Knicks 105-90 loss to the Blazers at Rose Garden.
Argument I-A: And this is the problem for Anthony. Lets say he did sit it out. Lets say he said to himself, You know what, much as Id like to answer the angry masses here in Colorado, Im going to wear my suit and tie and watch from the sidelines. Well lets be entirely honest here: how would that have gone over? What would people have said then? That hes soft? That he has no guts? That he has no courage? That hes a selfish player who puts his own health above that of the teams?
Im going to listen to my players, Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. He told me he could play and we accommodated him by playing
So what do you do then?
How do you win?
You dont. He doesnt. He cant. No matter which side he chooses, he loses. Maybe the more prudent course of action would have been the second but only because of this: Melo doesnt play well when hes grinding through pain. He just doesnt. Thats a fair critique.
But thats never enough when we judge him, is it?
And before we go, lets take the same approach to the old tired argument of whether Carmelo is a winner or not. That goes back to our first sentence. He cant win. Pundits and wise guys will seize on that: No. He cant. He never has. Thats the point, just as you typed it: He cant win.
Lets look at that argument:
Argument A: He never makes players around him better.
Rebuttal: What about Syracuse, which he led to a national title in 2003? Look at that team around him: one other pro (Hakim Warrick) and a batch of role players who, excepting Gerry McNamaras otherworldly run through the Big East Tournament three years later, never came close to approaching without him what they were with him. And kill his Denver years all you like; as a rookie, with Earl Boykins and Voshon Lenard as his running mates, he led the Nuggets from 17 to 43 wins.
Argument B: Hes never won anywhere else.
Rebuttal: Well, except for the Olympics of Beijing and London, in which he was a key contributor to a star-studded lineup who, according to no less than Mike Krzyzewski, Enjoyed playing in this kind of format more than any player I ever saw.
Argument C: Well, sure. He didnt have to be The Man.
Rebuttal: And this is where we return to the original premise. In most of Melos basketball word, his chief flaw is that he wants the ball too much. In the Olympics, hes killed because he doesnt want it enough.
He cant win.

I forgot that this validator issue is in fact already noted in a comment in beam_validator.erl, so it's not news. (In any case, I understand that this is low priority, and that the validator focusing on the subtle stuff makes sense as long as its task is to validate compiler output.) As for the fix, part of a solution could be to set #st.h=0 on all instruction which might trigger GC. I guess a full fix would introduce a field in #st which contains the number of tuple fields allocated but not populated, to be checked for zeroness at certain instructions. (Certainly "anything that might GC" and "any return"; could be "anything besides put".) Regards, Erik

As the use of human body parts has become increasingly commercialized, a need has arisen for new approaches to regulation that moves beyond the paradigm of altruism. During the course of this discussion, the notion of property has become a key concept. Focusing on practical and conceptual perspectives, the multidisciplinary group of authors, which includes specialists in philosophy, law, sociology, biology and medicine, have come together with practicing lawyers to consider both legal provisions and patterns of regulation in countries across Europe. Identifying divergences between different legal traditions, the authors explore various conceptual models which could be used to improve and to guide policy making. With this twin focus on practical and conceptual perspectives, this volume sets the standard for a detailed and innovative discussion of issues surrounding the regulation of research on human tissue.

Mission: The mission of the Mountain High Hikers is to promote and facilitate hiking activities in the Southern Appalachian area and encourage involvement in the maintenance of trails and conservation of forest environments.
Origination: Mountain High Hikers originated from a course entitled "Hiking in the Blue Ridge" at the Institute for Continuing Learning, at Young Harris College in the winter of 1993. 28 folks attended the course, and that small group expanded throughout the years to over 185 members. Most members live in Towns, Union, and Fannin counties in Georgia, and Clay and Cherokee counties in North Carolina. Most are full time residents, but some only come up for a few weeks a year.
Hiking: Mountain High Hikers sponsors several hikes every week to accommodate a variance in hiking skills. Prospective members and guests are invited to hike with us. Guidelines allow for 3 guest hikes before joining. Prospective members should attend a short hike first to determine which hiking level will work best. For further information, please review the Hiking Guidelines and Hike Calendar on this website.
Maintenance: Club members are very active in trail maintenance. Each month work trips are scheduled in both NC and GA. The club has been instrumental in the reopening of Chunky Gal Trail, open and blazing a new trail to Boteler Peak, and is working presently to get the entire Fires Creek trail system reopened. The club also maintains all of the trails leading to Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls, High Shoals Falls, Cooper's Creek Trails, and the Miller Trek at Brasstown Resort.
Special Events: The club has quarterly combined business meetings and potluck dinners. Specialty events are also periodically planned. We are one of the largest hiking clubs attending Wilderness Wildlife Week in the Great Smoky Mountains each January, usually with over 40 members in attendance. The club has also organized hiking trips to Virginia, Mt. Mitchell, Yosemite, and the Swiss Alps.
In Summary: Come play, hike, and trail maintain with us!
Hike Safely
You are responsible for yourself,
so be prepared:
1. With knowledge and gear. Become self
reliant by learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather, and your
equipment before you start.
2. To leave your plans. Tell someone the trails
you are hiking, the gear you are taking, when you will return, and your emergency
3. To stay together. When you
start as a group,
hike as a group, end as a group. Pace your hike to the slowest person.
4. To turn back. Weather changes quickly in the
mountains. Fatigue and unexpected conditions can also affect your hike. Know
your limitations and when to postpone your hike. The mountains will be there
another day.
5. For emergencies, even if you are headed out for
just an hour. An injury, severe weather, or a wrong turn could become life
threatening. Don't assume you will be rescued; know how to rescue yourself.
6. To share the hiker code with others.
Hike Safely: It's Your Responsibility.
The Hiker Responsibility Code was
developed and is endorsed by the White Mountain National Forest and New
Hampshire Fish and Game.

Birding on the Meander
Birding on the Meander
The Midlands Meander is a birder's paradise, offering a rich variety of contexts to find birds – rolling grassland hills, richly species-diverse wetland and the pristine Karkloof mistbelt forest.
A major attraction for birders on the Meander is the Karkloof Conservation Centre, where there are two world-class waterside bird hides – not to mention the opportunity to see all three Crane species in one outing. The Midlands offers the opportunity to tick some of the rare birds off your list, and offers some of the most reliable sites for the White-Starred Robin, Cape Parrot and Blue Swallow. Wherever you choose to meander in the Meander, you'll have an impressive list at the end of the day.
There are a number of accommodation establishments that are located in areas where there is an abundance of birdlife. Visitors are encouraged to book accommodation in these establishments for an added birding experience. There are also a large number of restaurants in the area that cater to the needs of every taste bud.

Florida jury convicts man for murder of 11-yr-old
MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida jury on Thursday convicted a
man of kidnapping, raping and then murdering an 11-year-old
girl last year in a crime that was partially captured by a
security camera.
Joseph Smith, a Sarasota auto mechanic with a long criminal
record, was found guilty on all charges in a verdict that was
broadcast live on cable television.
married and has three young daughters. Hearings on a sentence
are due to begin November 28.
The abduction of Carlie Brucia of Sarasota attracted
national attention because it was caught on camera. A huge
search had been mounted in the area.
Brucia disappeared on February 1, 2004, while walking home
alone from a friend's house. As she walked behind a closed car
wash, a surveillance camera showed a man approaching the girl,
grabbing her arm and leading her away.
Her body was found five days later and police said she had
been sexually assaulted and strangled.
Prosecutors presented DNA evidence tying a semen stain
found on Brucia's clothes to Smith, and also written and spoken
confessions he made to his brother and mother.
Smith, 39, was on probation when he was arrested. Despite
his criminal record, he had been released from prison in
January 2003 after serving only a year on drug charges.
Brucia's mother, Susan Schorpen, thanked the jury for the
"I lost one of the most precious things in my life because
of an animal, a disgusting perverted animal," Schorpen told
reporters after the verdict was announced.
"I can never hold her (Brucia) again. I love her. I miss
her. I wish she was here," Schorpen added.
She said Smith deserved to be executed and that it should
be done quickly.
"He's going to eat and he's going to sleep and you know,
he's going to get more years of appeals than my daughter had in
life and I've got a problem with that," Schorpen said.
Smith did not testify. His public defender questioned the
reliability of the DNA evidence and said police did not
investigate other possible suspects.

Typically, when full-line car companies set out to develop a coupe, they start with a sedan from the current lineup, trim two doors, and rewrap the package in a sleeker body. A shorter wheelbase is optional. Lexus rolled up that memo and burned it before going to work on the RC. Instead, to form its new coupe's structure, Lexus combined the front clip of the GS sedan, the center section of the old IS C convertible, and the rear end of the IS sedan, using adhesives and welding and a fancy technique called laser screw welding, which allows for more frequent tacks and thus greater rigidity.
The three-piece approach makes more sense once it's explained. The GS front gives engineers the extra track width they wanted for handling. They deemed the IS rear sufficient to keep the car's dimensions tidy, and the IS C center section necessary for its inherent stiffness and shorter wheelbase. Compared with the current IS sedan, the RC coupe is roughly 1.5 inches longer, wider, and lower, but with a 2.7-inch shorter wheelbase.
The RC F we have here is the hot-rod version of the RC, and the car Lexus is using to effectively replace its IS F sedan, which does not have an analogue in this new IS generation. (Lexus's hi-po four-door will be the GS F, bigger and likely more expensive than the old M3-baiting IS F.) But the RC F is not trying to be a direct BMW M-whatever knockoff; it has its own thing going. The snug cockpit swaddles the driver with information and controls in what seems like an appropriate techno-modern, Tokyo-by-night design scheme. A high center console features an optional touchpad that is part of the $2840 navigation and upgraded stereo package, and the instruments showcase a morphing LCD center tach, similar to the LFA's. Nearly everything in the car can be adjusted with the haptic infotainment control pad, but there are also redundant buttons with knobs for volume and tuning, just as in the current IS.
The LCD tach changes its appearance between the four drive modes (eco, normal, sport, and sport plus) and is flanked by another screen on the left, which displays tire pressures, radio stations, g-forces, and just about everything else. A smaller analog speedometer lies to the right.
There are few occasions in life when we'd say that 467 horsepower isn't enough. This is one of them. While the IS F's old 5.0-liter V-8 got thoroughly overhauled for this new RC F, the car weighs 4048 pounds, 200-plus more than the old sedan.
Mass is the RC F's millstone. It has 400 pounds on a BMW M4 and weighs as much as the four-wheel-drive Audi RS5. In a three-way drag race, the Bimmer walks away, with the F and RS5 keeping pace through the quarter-mile. By 130 mph, the RC F has eked out a nearly two-second lead on the RS5. Keep your foot in it and a governor abruptly halts acceleration at 171 mph.
With all the data crunched, the RC F proves no quicker than the old IS F. Nor is it slower, though. We recorded a 4.3-second zero-to-60 and a quarter-mile time of 12.8 seconds, identical to a 2008 IS F. Identical, too, is the naturally aspirated V-8 wail. While muted in the cabin, pedestrians will flinch when the intake's noise flap opens and the camshaft timing changes the engine's rumble into a sweaty roar.
Lexus gets credit for adding 51 horsepower to the V-8 with something more than a software update and without resorting to forced induction (cough, cough, BMW). Titanium valves, all 32 of them, along with a lighter crankshaft and con-rods, allowed engineers to lift the redline by 500 rpm to 7300. Only the 8300-rpm Audi RS5 can rival the F for aural gratification; the M4's turbocharged and overly enhanced soundtrack is no match. If only the RC F were quicker for it.
More revs equals more power, but it also requires more air and fuel. Thus, the 2UR-GSE, as the V-8 is coded, gets a larger throttle body and higher-flow fuel injectors. Max power comes at 7100 rpm, while the torque peak of 389 pound-feet, up 18 from the IS F, is available at 4800 rpm. That's 400 rpm earlier than the old engine. Compression also increases to 12.3:1, from 11.8:1.
Enabling the extra power are wider-range cam phasers, giving the V-8 Atkinson-cycle capability. This improves the RC F's efficiency during cruising and under low loads and gives the RC F a 2-mpg boost in EPA highway testing over the old IS F, to 25 mpg. City fuel economy is unchanged at 16. Thirsty, the RC F chugged a gallon of premium every 15 miles during its stay here.
All the work that went into the structure is apparent from the first few turns of the wheel. An astonishingly stiff unibody means the cowl never quivers because of the stiff central section's origin as a convertible. The rigid architecture succinctly telegraphs all communication from the chassis, which is both good and bad. Push the front axle past its limit and tire chatter shimmies up the steering column, as it's supposed to. But a mercilessly pitted road sends some shudders to the spines of passengers as well. The car feels as supple as a Lexus ES on a smooth road, something the rigid, tense M4 can't claim.
The F's seats come stacked with large bolsters in the front buckets, appropriate for a car capable of 0.95 g on the skidpad. Considering the Michelin Pilot Super Sports wrapping 19-inch forged BBS wheels, that's lower than we expected, but the car comes set up with a healthy amount of understeer. Lexus admits that it didn't want to build an intimidating car. Its goal was a PG-rated performance coupe, fun for all skill levels, and on that it has delivered.
Despite the four drive modes, the steering offers only normal and sport options. The latter, active in sport and sport plus, adds heft but no feedback. Like a stubborn toddler, the wheel communicates clearly only when its diaper is full, when the tires have gone over the edge.
Transmission logic will adapt to a particular driving style, but the eight-speed auto, another IS F carryover, responds to manual inputs without protest. Robust 15.0-inch front rotors and 13.6-inch rear rotors do an impeccable job of erasing speed without fade, though we'd prefer a pedal that wasn't muddy-feeling at the top. A 154-foot 70-to-zero stopping distance is just longer than the M4's. Considering the RC F carries extra poundage, that's a commendable performance.
Unlike its curb weight, the RC F's base price has gone down, and at $63,325 it is $1200 less than the 2014 IS F. Our test car came with the Performance package, which is a big investment at $5500. With it you get an M4-style carbon-fiber roof, carbon rear wing, and a torque-vectoring differential. The diff, a first for Toyota, has three settings independent of the drive modes: normal, slalom, and track. Slalom offers the most-aggressive torque swings. The diff effectively mitigates understeer but works only when you are on the throttle. Unadvertised is the package's 50-pound weight penalty. The carbon-fiber pieces save about 15 pounds, but the unit, with its electric motors and clutch packs, is 66 pounds heavier than the standard Torsen limited-slip diff.
In the ultrabright Molten Pearl paint, the RC F looks more brash and busy than flowing and elegant. It leans hard on the Japanese comic-book robot-superhero aesthetic. And indeed, its power-to-weight ratio is the only thing keeping the F from being an actual superhero. It may not have the outright thrust or balance of an M4, or even the style of an RS5, but the new F has a personality all its own, a Japanese Camaro with lots of buttons and displays and a boisterous voice. The IS F made its debut in 2007 as a fast but otherwise unexceptional Lexus, though quiet improvements meant that by 2011 the car was near the top of its class. Four years later, the RC F enters the market firmly planted there.

Well technically they are both in the dragon-egg group
I am still the only vote for palkia.
has anyone successfully used the soft reset to get their latios or latias shiny? i really want to get the shiny latios but trying to do it is tedious... just curious if anyone did
My battle team
looking for
I never got lucky with that trick, so I just gave up eventually. Of course, I got shines a few minutes after turning in x/
Spoiler:- Credits:
You looked. Your curiosity has been piqued!
I have claimed Chance by UVERworld!
I'll go with palkia
Nope. None of the guesses are right yet. Though I'll give a hint. I's a bit... Farfetch'd.
You guys need reasons on why you think it's that pokemon for the riddle thing. Otherwise it'll be a bit boring…

Please post reasons too.
And as this is going nowhere, I'm gonna post a really obvious hint.
"I can fly!"
ok, lets try and think of a new topic... anyone? i might edit this when i come up with something :3
why are you saying that as a good thing!!!!???? Dx
Mk, I'll need you guys to be active around here. Normally he's around here most of the time than me (It's because of school -_-)
If we're all sick of riddles, let's find a new game or topic x)
Credits Avenger Angel for banner
I probably won't get to be as active, seeing as though my school has now limited our right even further as of now. We can't go on anything but school-related stuff, even on our free time, until it's after school hours. They can also see every last thing we've been on now. Lol, now everyone who's got no work at study hall has been asking to play my video games, even thought they didn't see the point of the before.
Hmm, a new topic...yeah, I got nothing' right now :/

If you could have any mono-type Dragon team, what would it be and why? (I will count Pokemon that look like Dragons too, but don't stretch it. Good examples would be: Gyarados, Milotic, etc...)
Also to go along with that: If you were the leader of a Dragon-type Gym, what would the name of your badge be?
My own Dragon team eh? Okay, how about:
Dragonair - beautiful appearance, but deadly in battle. She holds a Eviolite and she makes a perfect Dragon Dancer
Jalorda - Even though isn't a Dragon type, it can be viewed as one by some. With its diverse movepool, I'll catch most opponents off guard
Garchomp -Fighting at high speeds, I'll crush mostly everything
Latios - I really don't use Legendary Pokemon, but I've always like Latios, so I need to use him more often
Salamence - Same as Garchomp
Gyarados - Moxie Gyarados rules! xD
Dragon Arceus-Because he is the god of all things
Kyurem-W-Because his draco meteor is the dragon equivalent of a nuke
Rayquaza-Because he controls weather and has ES
Dialga-HE is not weak to ice, and resists rock.
Garchomp-Resists rock, 102 trollspeed
Palkia-Spacial rend=best special dragon move.

Modulation of KdpD phosphatase implicated in the physiological expression of the Kdp ATPase of Escherichia coli
Brandon, L., Dorus, S., Epstein, W., Altendorf, K. and Jung, K., 2000. Modulation of KdpD phosphatase implicated in the physiological expression of the Kdp ATPase of Escherichia coli. Molecular Microbiology, 38 (5), pp. 1086-1092.

The KdpD sensor kinase and the KdpE response regulator control the expression of the kdpFABC operon, encoding the KdpFABC high-affinity K+ transport system of Escherichia coli. Low turgor pressure has been postulated to be the environmental stimulus to express KdpFABC. KdpD has autokinase, phosphotransferase and, like many sensor kinases, response regulator (phospho-KdpE) specific phosphatase activity. To determine which of these activities are altered in response to the environmental stimulus, we isolated and analysed six kdpD mutants that cause constitutive expression of KdpFABC. In three of the mutants, phosphatase activity was undetectable and, in two, phosphatase was reduced. Kinase activity was unaffected in four of the mutants, but elevated in one. In one mutant, a pseudorevertant of a kdpD null mutation, kinase and phosphatase were both reduced to 20% of the wild-type level. These findings suggest that initiation of signal transduction by KdpD is mediated by the inhibition of the phospho-KdpE-specific phosphatase activity of KdpD, leading to an accumulation of phospho-KdpE, which in turn activates the expression of the KdpFABC system. The data also suggest that levels of activity in vitro may differ from what occurs in vivo, because in vitro conditions cannot replicate those in vivo.

Ewing Interested in coaching the Bobcats????

Ewing Interested in coaching the Bobcats????
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing said yesterday he and Bobcats owner Michael Jordan have talked about the Charlotte head-coaching job in the wake of Larry Brown's ouster.
The former Knicks great, who has been with the Magic four seasons and an assistant for eight (Houston, Washington), has been outspoken of his desire to become a head coach, feeling he has put in the time.
Paul Silas was named as an interim coach two weeks ago for the Bobcats but may not be the long-term solution. Sources have said Silas will have to earn a chance to return next season.
If not, "The Big Fella" has a shot.
Asked if Charlotte had called him, Ewing smiled and said, "They might have."
When pressed, Ewing said, "He might have been. I talk to Michael all the time. There definitely was a phone call. It depends on what we talked about."
Whether it was a formal interview, Ewing left unclear. Ewing has not been seriously considered for any head-coaching job, which has been a source of frustration for him, especially when Mark Jackson got job interviews after never having been an assistant.
Ewing, asked if he feels he's getting more consideration, said "I hope."
"It is what it is," he said before the Magic's 112-103 victory. "I'm just going to keep on working. If I get an opportunity, I'll make sure I'm ready for it."
Ewing, who has helped mentor center Dwight Howard into a superstar, has two seasons left on his Magic contract. He has said if he isn't a head coach soon, he would give up coaching.
It would be of great irony if Jordan gave Ewing his crack at being a head coach, because Jordan and the Bulls often denied Ewing winning an NBA championship ring. Ewing and Jordan have been close through the years, and have the same agent, David Falk.
Ewing, who looks slimmer, is heartened to see the Knicks' renaissance after nine straight losing seasons that roughly followed his departure.
"I'm happy for them," Ewing said.
"I'm happy they are doing well. It's been a while coming. The Garden is back to the heyday."
Knicks assistant GM Allan Houston compared Amar'e Stoudemire's arrival as having the same impact as when Ewing arrived after the Knicks won the first NBA Draft lottery, joining a franchise that had been down for so long.
"Even when I came, we were still bad," Ewing said. "But I don't think it will take just one individual. It will take a collective effort. It's a team sport, and they are on the right track."
Ewing likes how the pieces fit around Stoudemire, by far the best Knicks player since Ewing.
"He's playing extremely well, [Raymond] Felton is, [Danilo] Gallinari, [Wilson] Chandler," Ewing said. "They're all playing well. They're a tough team to play. They have him [Stoudemire] on the inside, being very aggressive, and them on the outside knocking down threes, penetrating.
"They complement him, and he complements them."
Ewing said his son, Patrick Jr., who was the Knicks' final cut in training camp, is playing well in the D-League with Reno and had a tryout with the Cavaliers earlier this week.
"I was disappointed, yeah, like any parent," Ewing said of his son getting cut from the Knicks for the second time. "He played well. Flip a coin."
Shawne Williams beat out Ewing Jr., and the former first-round bust has leaped from 15th man into the Knicks' eight-man rotation since early December.

SPORTS BRIEFING | PRO FOOTBALL; Union Appeals For Jones
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 12, 2007
The N.F.L. players union is appealing Commissioner Roger Goodell's decision not to reduce the season-long suspension of Titans cornerback Pacman Jones. The union said it appealed Goodell's decision in a letter dated Nov. 8 -- two days after Goodell notified Jones that he must serve out the suspension handed down in April.

I'm a list-maker. Lists make me not crazy. I have been known to color-code and pivot table my grocery lists.
Not really.
When I feel overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done, I start with a list. Then I prioritize said list by a few sub-lists.
- Things that have to get done OMFGRIGHTNOW
- Things that have to get done TODAY or the world will stop spinning
- Things that have to get done SOON? (ie: the next few days or so)
- Things that can wait a while and no one will die.
Once I have a clear idea of the personality of my "things" I tackle those OMFGRIGHTNOW guys first, and in order of their own tugging on my pant legs. Once they are quiet, I move down to the next category and work my way through the line in order of their priorities. And so on and so on. This system works for me 99.99% of the time.
Now seems to be the 00.01% of the times it is not.
Thinking about it, I couldn't be happier as to why my OCD-style lists aren't effective at the moment. It's because there is so much to do that is good. I just don't know where to start! It's all so big and shiny and exciting that I'm kind of sitting back, staring at my awesome to-dos in admiration… but not digging in yet. Silly, yes. But trust me, I also know this is a GREAT problem to have. I just need to pick a starting point and DO.
Then, between doing NaBloPoMo (blogging every day for the month of November) via YeahWrite (which means reading my rowmies and columnites there, and once a week writing something with *substance* instead of my normal asinine rambling), plus all the post-CampMighty processing/brain-dumping, I'm kind of all over the place. Kind of like that last sentence, there. Hello, 2.5 college degrees, why do you desert me?
I'll get my focus soon I hope, because I have a busy December coming up!
I want to continue my streak of writing every day, but in a different form. Get this – I signed up for Alice Bradley's Month of Writing Prompts. In this MOWP exercise I'll be using Alice's provided prompts to free-write for 15 minutes a day, in longhand. Do not stop at Go, keep writing, do not edit, just WRITE. This will be a challenge for me, Miss Perfectionista, who wants to fix things the moment they appear from the tip of my pen or on the screen. Plus there's the fact that my handwriting is completely illegible to everyone on earth but me. But in the end, I want to stick to writing fiction only. To use the prompts to let my imagination go where it wants and just wing it. No personal blatherings scrawled on paper to muck through the allotted time. I want to CREATE something, for 15 minutes, every day. Just like Margaret Stewart said here:
… as "creators" of anything, we have to find and defend our time to MAKE. No excuses. It's important.
Yes. Yes it is. Let's just hope I don't wind up with a notebook full of doodles instead of stories.
Aside from my writing commitment there is also: stick to my training schedule for my upcoming 15K, keep up the usual CrossFit self-torture, complete my holiday shopping, do some holiday traveling and continue my life list badassery.
Y'all ready to keep up with me???
I'ma need some stronger coffee.

Productivity apps and methods are perhaps among the most abundant Mac apps out there, but they all take the same kind of approach to getting things done: they only help you accomplish tasks, without really lending a hand in choosing what's really important. You can get a dozen tasks crossed off by the end of your day, but if they're mundane and unimportant, what good is that?
Today we'll be talking about an app called Eisenpower, that incorporates a method to help you prioritize and classify your tasks, in order to realize what's really important and what isn't. Interested?
