[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
Ha, ha
If you feeling good, give me a shoutout, alright?
Eh, What up? Alright
Poo Bear!
I'm really saying this to myself, alright (alright)
Claudio, alright
So how we gon do this one?
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
This one goes out to the baby girls
In a rush growing up in this crazy world
Yeah your brother on the road and he never home
I know you feeling kinda sad now that daddy gone
You can't let it get you down, gotta carry on
We only lose things because it make us strong
You always had my love, and now you got a song
From the biggest biggest fan that you've ever known
I know you won't be little girls, not for very long
And you ain't gotta have a man if you don't ever want
Cause I'm gonna make sure you got two of everything
That you ever want, every tone, like your very own
Not to make you hard to respect
Just really really really really hard to impress
It's a whole wide world for you to go and get your hands on
Until then, just come and get your dance on now
[Hook: Poo Bear]
I see you coming up
I'm a give you the low-down, down, down
You ain't never gotta worry about nothing
Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh, this for everybody feeling good
You know who you are, or you misunderstood
Never had money, or you living good
If you from the burbs, if you in the hood
Recognize where we come from
In my day, mane, I did a little somethin' some
They like "how come you don't rap that?"
Cause that's a back track and I ain't tryna back that
I'm only moving forward, homie, that's that
Direction, a lot of shawties lack that
I'm just tryna' give it to 'em like sat nav
Now I know I might not make out like a fat rat
That's cool as long as they don't trap crack
Graduate from school, and still let his pants sag
Never catch a case, know how to let his cash stack
Welcome to the map, go anywhere you tap now, yeah
[Hook: Poo Bear and Lupe Fiasco]
I see you coming up (uh)
I'm a give you the low-down, down, down (alright, alright, alright)
You ain't never gotta worry about nothing
Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round
[Bridge: Poo Bear]
When the floor falls out
I'mma be there to carry you
And if you want that star
I'll go get it out the sky for you
If you cry, shed a tear
I'mma dry your eyes
Just to let you know it'll be alright
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh, I know it's like a whole lot going on
Things going right, things going wrong
Maybe baby, on the way, and you feel so alone
Know that in this world you're never really on your own
God got a number get him on the phone
He'll never put you places where you don't belong
Put you through the pain, to put you on the throne
And I know that from the bottom of my corazon
And if they looking at you sideways
You just wave right back, tell 'em hi hater
Mad you ain't hanging with 'em in the driveway
Nah we gon' keep it moving to the highway
Strong is puttin' on, the weak is all over like Friday, chilling
Shout out to King David for bringing in Philly
And all my pretty independent women in the building, let's go!
Lupe's attempt at the uplifting club record. An exclusive single off his third album Lasers, it is the final complete version of the 30 second snippet that leaked back in 2009, initially dubbed "Ladies & Gentlemen"

Of course, we all just want to jump right into the research. Whether it's wandering through the cemetery, cranking through microfilm seeking that elusive ancestor or dancing through the various databases in pursuit of great-great-grandma, for most of us, the fun is in the hunt. We sometimes forget to prepare to do our research.
If you are getting online to do a bit of electronic sleuthing, prepare yourself by reviewing the family you are chasing. Recheck the vital dates that you have, as well as locations. Think about the names you are seeking. If you are looking for a Mary, remember, she might have been Molly or Polly, or even Marie! Contemplate the many ways that the names could be misspelled. Ask yourself why someone may have provided erroneous information.
When you want to go to a courthouse to research, organize what you have and know what you want to learn. Find out, in advance if possible, if the records you want exist and how to access them. For example, a courthouse fire in 1896 may have destroyed civil marriage records, so you won't want to waste time hunting for them. However, it may occur to you that the family was, say, Catholic, so a call to the parish or to a diocesan office may guide you to church marriage records. Also, check to be sure the office you wish to visit will be open the day you plan to be there. And have a back-up plan. Power outages, plumbing problems and severe illness could result in a sudden office closing, so a tentative plan to visit a nearby cemetery or church is good to keep in mind. As you see, preparing for a research trip is always a good idea.
Seeking advice from an archivist, librarian, or another researcher can bring fresh ideas to your research, and such consultations are the best part of my job here at the Genealogy Center, but an inadequately organized query can only hinder the success of the quest. Re-evaluate your data to make sure that it follows a logical path. At age 8, that woman was too young to have given birth to your great-grandfather. And your grandmother's uncle really wasn't born 15 months after his father died. Reassessing the information you have may open new avenues of research.
So take a few minutes while planning your research activities to consider what you you wish to achieve, what's impossible, and how you might make the impossible, possible.

The boy band One Direction is headed straight to the top of the box office over Labor Day weekend, thanks to throngs of overzealous teenage girls.
"One Direction: This Is Us," a 3-D concert documentary about the mega-popular British group, is set to rule at the multiplex, likely debuting with a robust $22 million over the four-day long weekend, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys.
But another tween icon, Selena Gomez, won't have cause to celebrate during the holiday. The former Disney Channel star's new action film "Getaway," co-starring Ethan Hawke, is poised to open with a dismal $6 million.
Meanwhile, "The Butler," the civil rights drama that has been No. 1 since opening in mid-August, will inch closer to the $100-million milestone. Heading into the weekend, Lee Daniels' film has already grossed more than $55 million and should take in another $15 million this long weekend.
"This Is Us" follows Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne as they embark on a 150-date world tour. The $10-million production, which is being released by Sony Pictures' TriStar label, was directed by Oscar-nominated documentarian Morgan Spurlock. "This Is Us" will be the filmmaker's highest-grossing picture to date, as 2004's "Super Size Me" -- in which Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days straight -- collected $11.5 million.
"This Is Us" is the latest in a string of concert documentaries to hit theaters in recent years. The most successful has been "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," which made nearly $100 million worldwide in 2011. Last summer's "Katy Perry: Part of Me" didn't fare as well, grossing $32.4 million globally. Both the Bieber and Perry docs were Paramount releases.
The One Direction flick will probably end up somewhere between the Bieber and Perry movies, as the band is riding a wave of popularity in the U.S. This month, they performed four sold-out concerts at Staples Center, and hundreds of fans stormed a movie theater at the Grove after being shut out of an advance "This Is Us" screening.
Gomez, however, is still struggling to prove she is a box office draw. The provocative indie "Spring Breakers," in which the 21-year-old was one of four lead actresses, performed respectably earlier this year. But her teen-aimed romantic comedy "Monte Carlo" grossed only $40 million worldwide in 2011.
Co-star Hawke has had a better run as of late, coming off the critically beloved "Before Midnight" and surprise box office hit "The Purge," the low-budget horror film that raked in $84 million in global sales in June. Unfortunately, his good run will end with the poorly reviewed "Getaway," which on Thursday had notched a 0% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In the movie, Hawke plays a man trying to rescue his kidnapped wife and finds an unlikely partner a young, tech-adept teen (Gomez).
The movie was produced for $18 million by Dark Castle Entertainment and is the last picture from Joel Silver's company to be released by Warner Bros. Silver's deal with the studio ended in 2012, and he then signed a five-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures.
The only other debut this weekend, the thriller "Closed Circuit," is playing in 1,000 fewer theaters than its rivals. The film starring Eric Bana hit theaters Wednesday and may sell just $3 million worth of tickets through Sunday. The picture, about a controversial trial following the detonation of a bomb in a London market, has received mixed critical response.

Most people believe that the slots are the worst bet there is in a casino. This is because earnings are not as high compared to other casino games. Some people say that this is the very reason why the slots are the favorite game of new casino players and women.
But this assumption is not true? 150 freeslots are not the worst bet, even when we are talking about free casino slots which can be played online. There are a lot of casino games which have higher house edge and lower payoffs.
Most free casino slot machines have an average house advantage of 2% up to 15%. Looking at the reports coming from the Nevada Gaming Commission and online slots, the average is at around 8%. Now, here's a list of casino games and the corresponding average house advantage;
Baccarat (tie bet): 14% Casino War (tie bet): 18% Craps (any):11% Sic Bo (depends on the bet): up to 33% Big Six: 11-24% Keno: 25-30%
Looking from a purely mathematical point of view and ignoring player errors, we see that casinos have a higher advantage by offering the games above. Now, let's consider the way the games are being played and if a player is playing properly. Many games offer a low house advantage only if the game is being played properly. So if you love poker, you ought to know what kind of poker your favorite casino is offering. The better you are at a game, the higher your chances are of winning.
This is not true when it comes to free casino slots. Slots are so simple that the chance of making a mistake is so low. According to most "Slots experts" playing the maximum bet is a great idea since you will surely break even when you win – this is because no other game in a casino has a higher bet to win ratio than that of slots. Sure, you might not win every time you play free casino slot, but you will always have a high chance of earning good money for a relatively low bet.
Now let's talk about entertainment value – the very reason why gambling was invented in the first place. The penny slots you find at pubs and bars now have an online counterpart, and it also offers hours of entertainment – yes, this is true even if you have the smallest bankroll known to man. There are some free casino slots which offer bonuses and video slots.
So, back to the question: are slots the worst bet in a casino? Well, if you want to get rich, then slots is certainly not the game for you. But if you are looking for entertainment and a way to earn a small amount of money, then slots are your perfect choice. Remember, however; that casino games are all games of chances. Don't go playing a free casino slot expecting to get a thousand dollars. Just try to relax and enjoy, who knows, you might just get a bonus
Free Casino Slots
Most people believe that the slots are the worst bet there is in a casino. This is because earnings are not as high compared to other casino games. Some people say that this is the very reason why the slots are the favorite game of new casino players and women.

For the first time, Wacom has won the coveted design award from Red Dot for two of its Signature products. Both the Signature Pad STU-530 and the Signature Display DTU-1031 convinced the 40 member expert panel of their outstanding product design, beating off competition from over 4,000 other entries.
Peter Sommer, Vice President Enterprise Business, Wacom Europe GmbH commented: "We are extremely proud that two of our products have won such a prestigious and well known design award. Combining technological innovation with outstanding design, our Signature products provide customers with a robust and trustworthy way to collect legally binding signatures and information. Handling is easy and ergonomic and most importantly the pads and displays feel natural to those using them. Dedicated to our customers specific needs, their innovative design means they can easily be integrated into POS solutions and counters."
Signature Pad STU-530
The STU-530 supports digital business workflows that need to capture handwritten signatures to authorise or confirm business processes. It is ideal for POS in banks or retail and for any company requiring a display with minimal footprint and innovative design. The thin, low-profile design, flat surface and attractive matted anthracite colour makes the STU-530 suitable for discreet integration at the counter where a user can easily view or fill in full size documents and sign them digitally. Combined with the light, slim pen, writing feels as close to analogue pen and paper as possible. The 5" high resolution colour LCD screen and the hardened glass surface complete the high-quality look and feel of the pad.
Signature Display DTU-1031
The award-winning design of the DTU-1031 is unique. Its combination of a high-resolution colour display with a small footprint makes it suitable for any counter or POS. The DTU-1031 features a minimalistic design with high quality materials and metallic colours that correspond to the display colours of the Wacom pen.
The 7th July is awards night for Red Dot, in Essen, Germany, where Wacom will be presented with its award. The Red Dot Design Museum in Essen will also be opened for four weeks for a public showcase of around 2,000 exhibits, including the Wacom signature pads and displays. This is the largest exhibition of contemporary designs worldwide.
In cooperation with the French publishing house Publi-News the Salon Solutions Bancaires awarded Wacom DTU-1031 LCD signature display as the most innovative solution 2013 for dematerialisation of flows and contracts.
Thomas Kaeb, Business Development Manager Southern Europe, was happy to receive the award during the Salon Solutions Bancaires conference 2013 in Paris. After receiving this Award for the sign pad STU-520 in 2011, it is the second time that a signature solution from Wacom won this prize.
The signature display DTU-1031 is the ideal solution for corporate or institutional customers who require a display with a minimal footprint that allows users to view or fill out full-size documents and sign them digitally. Therefore, customers can clearly see the contents of a document and sign with confidence, for example when signing at a banking counter. Integrated into several banks across Europe such as BNP Paribas in Guadeloupe, CECA saving banks in Spain, Alior Bank in Poland or Banca Intesa in Italy successfully, Wacom and its signature solutions already became an established and reliable partner for the banking sector, where cost efficiency and security are crucial. By achieving paperless transactions the banks manages to save costs and provide their customers an innovative and outstanding service.
The German magazine "handelsjournal" announced our signature partner TeleCash among the winners of the annual "Top Produkt Handel" Award, an award to honour the best products for the retail sector. TeleCash won the award a second time in the row, being chosen as the best payment solution last year as well. This year TeleCash received the prize in the category of "environmental friendliness" silver status for its onlineArchive, which works in combination with the Wacom STU signature pad.
Signing at the POS
Thanks to the onlineArchive paper receipts become totally unnecessary at the point of sale (POS) as the receipt is not printed any longer after the payment process, but stored digitally. The customers are asked to sign directly on the Wacom signature pad to confirm the transaction. Afterwards the data is transmitted to TeleCash and archived centrally on a secure server. Only the customer receives a paper receipt as usual.
50 per cent less material costs
The advantages of electronic filing: based on a paperless document management cash transactions are more efficient and administrative and material costs can be reduced. As a result, dealers can save up to 50 % of their paper usage and material costs, and other resources for handling the documents. The digital workflow offers the retail two important features: achieving a great share on environment protection on the one hand as and increasing the cost efficiency by an optimized process.

TeleTrusT, the German IT security association, awarded the TeleTrusT Innovation Award 2009 to the Spanish Savings Banks Organisation (Confederación Española de Cajas de Ahorros, CECA) for its e-signing project at ISSE 2009 in The Hague.
CECA uses Wacom STU-500 LCD Signature Pads provided by Softpro (Softpro´s name of the STU-500 is SignPadeSignio) for digitising handwritten signatures in Spanish savings banks combining the benefits of biometric signatures and cryptographic techniques in their application Firma Digitalizada.
Since the beginning of 2009, more than 10 000 pads and software for e-signature capture have gone into production at workstations in Spanish savings banks.

TÜV Saarland, a member of the German Technical Inspection Association Group (Technischer Überwachungs-Verein, TÜV) recently certified SOFTPRO's SignDoc in combination with Wacom's signature pad STU-500. The TÜV was testing version 3.1 of SignDoc in conjunction with the signature tablet SignPad eSignio. TÜV Saarland confirms the easy and safe operation of this innovative software for electronic signatures with handwritten signatures.
The seamless interaction of STU-500 and Sign Doc could fully convince the testers. The systematical review included that in SignDoc data cannot be manipulated during the signing process and that SignDoc detects tampering in signed PDF files. The test of the integrity of a document is possible with SignDoc as in common PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader. Another test was carried out with software products that try to capture data from the traffic via USB. The TÜV confirms that sniffing data of the communication between STU-500 and SignDoc does not result in recording any usable data but just plain"junk data".
In cooperation with the French publishing house Publi-News the Salon Solutions Bancaires awarded Wacom STU-520 LCD signature pad as the most innovative solution 2011 for dematerialisation of flows and contracts.
Thomas Kaeb, Business Development Manager Southern Europe, was happy to receive the award during the Salon Solutions Bancaires conference 2011 in Paris. Wacom was selected by an independent jury, consisting of two banking professionals and two consultants, which evaluated several criterias such as innovation and customer benefits.
The STU-520 LCD signature pad with its wide range color display is the flagship product of the Wacom signature product range. Integrated into several banks across Europe such as CECA saving banks in Spain, Alior Bank in Poland or Banca Intesa in Italy successfully, Wacom already became a established and reliable partner for the banking sector, where cost efficiency and security are crucial. By archieving paperless transactions the banks manages to save costs and provide their customers an innovative and outstanding service.
Wacom has been awarded by France's FNTC (Fédération Nationale des Tiers de Confiance). Each year, the Trusted Third Party Innovation Awards go to the best applications developed in the private sector.
For the tenth year running, the Trusted Third Party Innovation Awards have been held, highlighting and honouring projects and solutions relating to electronic data exchange – a key growth factor for the digital economy. Presented by France's National Federation of Trusted Third Parties at the "Confidence in the Digital Economy Awards" ceremony in Paris, they are
designed to encourage, promote and reward products whose features and properties make an outstanding contribution to creating a secure technological environment – and thereby help build up users' confidence when they engage in electronic data exchange.
Wacom's digital signature pads were honoured at this year's ceremony, receiving the 'Grand Prix', the highest level of recognition in the Trusted Third Party Innovation Awards. Key features that make Wacom's digital tablets stand out include:
As well as bringing a zero-paper environment within reach, Wacom signature pads, like the STU-520, also preserve the 'natural' gesture of signing. Whether it's for signing contracts over the counter, administrative formalities or payment transactions, they now provide a medium for a fully-fledged digital signature that is completely hassle-free for customers and vendors alike.

Wacom's first plug&play signature capturing solution sign&save was awarded as one of the best products for small and medium businesses of the year out of more than 2500 nominees in its category. sign&save received the Certificate "Innovation Price for IT Best of 2012" in the category Office Management by the German community of interest "Initiative Mittelstand". The price is already the second award for sign&save after the Spanish PC World Award.
Since 2004 the Inititive Mittelstand is supporting small and medium businesses across the country – is awarding the best IT solutions and products, especially created for the SMB sector: The "Innovationspreis-IT". By the award, companies of all sizes are encouraged permanently to develop IT innovations, simplifying the daily workflow for small companies.
The jury, including professors, scientists, industry representatives and journalists, evaluated the submitted products and solutions according to a fixed criteria catalog for instance innovation (innovation, product maturity, and future orientation), suitability for SMEs (SME relevance, practicality and implementation) and the benefits (recognizable benefits, impact on profitability, efficiency). sign&save was fulfilling all criteria and convinced the 100 judges completely:
PCWorld, one of the leading global computer magazines focusing on reviews of soft- and hardware, was currently testing sign&save, the first plug&play signature solution by Wacom. Being completely convinced of the product and the benefits it offers to entrepreneurs and all small and medium businesses, the magazine assigned sign&save with its "5 Stars Award", receiving the best rating possible:
"In an increasing digitalized world needing to continue using a paper document to get a signature may be a tedious.
A solution offered is electronic identity card among its options with the digital signature (using a password system) but the truth is that its use is only for electronic documents and is also more oriented to sign transaction documents.
The alternative proposed by Wacom is a signature pad where it has extensive experience but intended only to capture handwritten signatures and stamp them life in electronic documents without using paper, being stored digitally.
Wacom sells two models of its sign&save range the STU-500, which we tested, and the STU-300, a 100 Euro smaller and cheaper mobile model designed to travel. In both cases the goal is that you can sign the documents in PDF format directly to your computer without having to print a copy, afterwards signed and scanned.
The pad we reviewed has a monochrome display 10.2 x 7.6 cm (5" diagonal) with a 640 x 480 resolution that also points to capture the electronic signature in real time, while we sign with the pen, it also allows to show other content and your company logo. The size is large enough to capture any signature in comfort and without the pencil stumble at the edges as for example in portable devices used by some couriers for this purpose. This size of the model larger than the mobile version (but it proved it is still compact enough to carry it with a laptop if necessary) is because it is designed for use for customer service counters for this application but we miss a slot for Kensington locks.
To sign you use the included stylus without batteries, due to electromagnetic resonance technology and which can indicate up to 512 levels of pressure so it offers great fidelity and naturalness. In addition it is able to record the biometric characteristics of each signature such as pressure and speed of the stroke to ensure security.
You need the included software (sign I pro PDF) which is responsible for signature capturing and certificating PDF documents. You can use any kind of a PDF, which will be certified to indicate the reason for the signature that will show both on the tablet and in the signed document. Also all content shown in the document will appear on the pad screen in an additional window. In our case we signed the cover of our sister magazine IDG TechStyle, giving the final OK for its design for instance.
Once the document is signed it can be opened without problems with Adobe Reader, we suggest to download a list of trusted certificates to validate signed documents automatically and show us the signature panel on which we can verify if the signature (or signatures) are valid, and if the document is subsequently modified.
In short, a practical solution to avoid the use of paper documents just because it needs to be signed."
The German federal printing office Bundesdruckerei recommends the signature solutions from Wacom among others. The recommended signature tablets can be used for the paperless application of e-passports and ID cards in German registration offices. As the application of new passports and ID cards needs several signatures from the applicant, the amount of paper is huge: A big potential to save paper, time and money.
Among the recommended products are the signature pads STU-300, STU-500 and STU-520 as well as the new signature display DTU-1031 from Wacom. Instead of signing on paper, the applicant is asked to provide his signature directly on the screen of the signature pad. If the used software provides biometric data, the signature device registers pressure, speed and acceleration of the pen during the signing process to generate an individual profile of each signatory to verify and authenticate the signature.
Besides the signature solutions, the Interactive Pen Displays from the PL- / DTU-series are as well recommended by the Bundesdruckerei for interested authorities. Reducing operation costs by avoiding paper, Wacom signature pads are already used at registration offices, by the police and other authorities looking for a paperless administration: For instance the Berlin State Authority for Citizens and Regulatory Affairs as well as the registration office in the Bavarian city Erding capture all provided signatures electronically directly on the signature pad, simplifying the process for both employees and applicant. The task can be fulfilled much faster, reducing waiting times for each citizen on the one hand, saving time of the employee, making print-outs and traditional archiving unnecessary on the other hand.
The largest IT service provider in Germany's cooperative financial institute association has certified Softpro's Software as having fulfilled its stringent security guidelines.
SignDoc, Softpro's software for electronic signing, meets the security requirements of credit unions (i.e. "Volksbanken" and "Raiffeisen" banks). Fiducia IT AG, the largest IT service
provider in the cooperative financial institute association, confirmed this test result in a security certificate for Softpro.
SignDoc in its current version, 3.1, was classified as safe to install and use on the Win XP workstation, the bank's individual Win2003 Application Server (BAS) and the agree Vista workstation in the Fiducia-environment. The technical safety verification of third-party software was successfully completed for these application environments. The broad usage of Electronic Signatures in combination with SignPads in Spanish savings banks has recently been awarded the prestigious Innovation Prize by the German IT security association TeleTrusT. With immediate effect, credit unions can enjoy the benefits of capturing and processing handwritten signatures without paper in a certified secure environment.
SignDoc is not the first of Softpro's software oft to meet their stringent security requirements. Softpro's solution for the automatic comparison of signatures in paper based payment transactions – SignPlus, also marketed as FraudOne in the Americas – has also been certified via the same security validation since several years. This new certification cements Softpro's further commitment for producing secure Software for the banking sector. SignPlus has already been successfully deployed for several institutes in association with Fiducia.
Fiducia places value on careful security validation of all third-party software such as that received by Softpro for obvious reasons: workstations in the banks can only be operated in a secure manner, if each component used at the workstation can be considered as secure. Several other IT service providers – whether based in Germany or abroad – rely on the recommendations of a security validation executed from Fiducia. Thus, for a software manufacturer like Softpro, a successful security validation is a positive signal beyond the market of credit unions in Germany.

Just to compare who had the most accurate most draft.
Derrick Rose, PG
Age: 19, 6'3", 190 lbs.
Memphis, Freshman
I hate Chicago.
I hope Derrick Rose becomes a bust just like Jay Williams
Michael Beasley, PF
Age: 19, 6'9", 235 lbs.
Kansas State, Freshman
Brook Lopez, C
Age: 20, 7'0", 260 lbs.
Stanford, Sophomore
T'Wolves should trade the 3 pick.
Randy Foye isn't the answer at PG, drafting him over Roy was an awful move. Foye is an undersized SG who isn't really that special.
Al J is awesome, but theres their only legit starter. Jaric, Synder, and Gomes are all bench players.
So T'Wolves need to trade down; and get as much talent as possible. If I was them, I would trade with the Nets #10 and #21. At 10, they can draft Augustin or just the best player available(there will be plenty). At 20, they can grab someone who can compliment Al Jefferson, like Robin Lopez. A safer pick would be Brandon Rush or Chris DR, they need a SG. Brewer is a total bust; McHale is really one of the worst GM's in the league. T'Wovles were very close to having a title but a lot of bad decisions and an unhappy KG kept them from getting to the top. Now its back to the bottom.
Kevin Love, PF/C
Age: 19, 6'9", 255 lbs.
UCLA, Freshman
As for Seattle; drafting Green was a mistake. Green is a tweener, and isn't that great of a PF. Durant should move back to his natural position at SF. Seattle should try to grab Bayless or Kevin Love. Kevin can dominate the paint and shoot outside. He and Durant would be a dangerous duo. Bayless tends to be a ball hog and will take touches away from Durant in the perimeter. Love is a guy who doesn't hang around the perimeter despite being a great shooter. He's a great passer and has good chemistry with his perimeter players. Seattle should consider this move; if not take Lopez who would also match up well with Durant.
They need to move on with Wilcox, Petro and Swift. Bad decisions by the organization. Keep Watson; elite defender and isn't a terrible shoooter...good veteran PG NEEDED for a team with young players...they could draft a franchise PG next year.
The top 3 for Seattle
O.J. Mayo
DeAndre Jordan, C
Age: 19, 7'0", 260 lbs.
Texas A&M, Freshman
Memphis has an unnecessary clog of PG's on their team. Conley is the best PG; he averaged about 15/5/5 shooting over 40% from 3pt range in April. Memphis is solid with Mike Miller; one of the leagues best shooters and can rebound and pass the ball well at the SG position. He's a veteran thats needed; they don't need to move him. Rudy Gay is the best player on the team, an amazing all around talent that can play multiple positions, is a freak athlete, good shooter, rebounder, has moves in the post and is becoming a good defender. But the problem is his game is like Shawn Marion's, you can't depend on him to carry the team. All Gay can do is assist the team with his all around attributes. Memphis could actually use a guy like Zach Randolph; because they already have a shot blocker in Darko. Jordan would be a typical pick for them; if they can improve Jordan's work ethic and the time he puts into practicing basketball; they'll have a monster.
The top 3 for Memphis
6.New York
O.J. Mayo, PG/SG
Age: 20, 6'5", 195 lbs.
USC, Freshman
Where do I start? I've said so much about this team I feel like a broken record.
PG is the most important position. Though Marbury is still a very good PG in the NBA, he has an expiring contract is on the down hill position in his stellar career. Marbury won't be the PG of New York in the future. Therefor we need to fill the PG position with the best available PG's.
What should the Knicks look for in a PG?
Elite skills in creating shots for himself and his teammates
Great work ethic for major improvement and progression each season.
The best passer available.
A guy with range to keep the defense honest.
PG who isn't afraid of the clutch and is willing to take on the leadership role of the team.
With those basic needs; I would rank the PG's like this (Rose would be picked already)
DJ Augustin
Ty Lawson
Russel Westbrook
OJ Mayo
Jared Bayless
Take notice how the the guys at the bottom are actually ranked very high in NBAdraft.net and Draftexpress's mock draft as top 3-10 picks.
Augustin is a sleeper pick Knicks can't pass on.
At SG, its really simple. Mayo is a special prospect and probably the best all around guard prospect in the draft. If he's available Knicks must take him. Crawford's playing style will keep us in a losing position until he's gone from the team. Guarantee this; once Crawford is traded, the Knicks winning % will sky rocket.
at SF, Anthony Randolph won't be a bad pick; but SF is a very easy position to fill in. I would prefer a guy like Joe Alexander who is more skilled, physical and just as athletic; being the superior shooter/scorer.
at PF, we'll be fine with Lee; if he doesn't improve we can seek an improvement later in the future.
at C, Lopez would be the man.
Knicks top 3
Joe Alexander
7.Los Angeles
Jerryd Bayless, PG/SG
Age: 19, 6'3", 199 lbs.
Arizona, Freshman
Brands injury kept the Clippers far away from the competitive top 8 in the West. Maggatte and Kaman did have career years though. So if Brand is healthy, Clippers front court is pretty much set.
But they one of the worst backcourts the NBA. The aging undersized duo of Knight and Mobley won't cut it. Livingston is always injured every season and won't improve because injuries do play an affect in your ability and confidence.
Clippers need to look for the best available guards in this draft. Bayless may fall down, but the farther he'll fall is to the Clippers. Bayless should be the #1 priority for LA. Westbrook would be a 2nd good choice. They don't need Gordan as much because all Gordan is an athletic Cuttino Mobley.
Clippers top 3 prospects
Eric Gordon, SG
Age: 19, 6'3", 215 lbs.
Indiana, Freshman
The best thing you can say about the Bucks is Bogut's improvement. He's now in the range of 15 PPG 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, not bad for a number pick who's still improving. His one on one defense has been good, and is probably the Bucks only good defender.
Villanueva, Williams and Redd are probably the worst at their position on terms of man to man defense. This three some really hurts the Bucks from ever even thinking about contending. Redd isn't a franchise player or a guy that can carry a team. He'll be a great secondary scorer though. Bucks should consider this trade.
Micheal Redd
Dan Gadzuric
Wally Zerb(expiring)
Eric Snow(expiring)
2009 first round pick
Bucks rebuild with some free cap space.
Bucks should consider drafting the best player available since they won't find much at #8
Bucks top 3
Eric Gordon
Danilo Gallinari
Anthony Randolph
Joe Alexander
Anthony Randolph, SF/PF
Age: 18, 6'11", 220 lbs.
LSU, Freshman
J-Rich trade was good for the Bobcats, but now they need a player to compliment Okafor's weaknesses. The ideal player would be Love, but he may not be available for them. Anthony Randolph would be another choice for them, but still a risky position for the Bobcats. Darell Arthur would be the most safe and available pick for them.
Bobcats top 3
10.New Jersey
Danilo Gallinari, SF
Age: 19, 6'9", 209 lbs.
Armani Jeans Milano, International
For the Nets; it comes down to 3 guys. Gallinari, Randolph and Jordan. Joe Alexander could be available as a replacement since Richard Jefferson may be on the trade block. Nets don't have to worry so much since they have a developing young PG with great defensive skills and athletic/speed ability like Harris. Carter, like Redd cannot carry a team. Nets need to either use their two first rounders to try acquire a guy who can bring this team to the playoffs. Or just wait until they get cap space so they can sign Lebron to Jay-Z's orgy.
Nets top 3
D.J. Augustin, PG
Age: 20, 6ft, 181lbs.
Texas, Sophomore
Tinsley is finished; injury prone PG who hasn't improved much at all. They need a PG desperately, and just more talented players period. They're set at SG/SF with Dunleavy/Granger. O'Neill and their other big men are aging and are on the decline. Augustin, McGee, Kosta Koufos, and Darell Arthur would all be very strong picks.
Indiana's top 3
Kosta Koufos
Darrell Arthur,PF
Age: 20, 6'9", 215 lbs.
Kansas, Sophomore
Similar to Indiana, in need of a PG and some big men. Hawes is still developing, a great complimentary player would be Arthur(King Arthur would be a sick nickname too) if DJ Augustin is still avaible, Kings can't pass him up for nothing.
King's top 3 valued prospects
Darrell Arthur
DJ Augustin
Russel Westbrook
Russell Westbrook, PG/SG
Age: 19, 6'3", 187 lbs.
UCLA, Sophomore
Nothing could be better for Portland if Westbrook fell to them. He would fit in perfect with their system. Portland is a borderline playoff team and basically a lock for the players with the return of Oden. Westbrook would pair up with a very good passing and fundamental SG in Roy. Both Westbrook and Roy would compliment and fill each other's gaps.
14.Golden State
Joe Alexander, SF/PF
Age: 21, 6'8", 230 lbs.
West Virginia, Junior
GS should consider trading this pick to obtain an A caliber player. Davis is a B+ caliber player and everyone elso is a B-C+. They need a guy who can compete lead GS against guys like Bryant, Duncan, Paul, Williams, Nowitski, Yao, etc. Davis isn't that dude.
15. Phoenix Suns
Chase Budinger, SG/SF
Age: 20, 6'7", 190 lbs.
Arizona, Sophomore
-Raja Bell is aging, Budinger is a local guy who would enjoy playing with Steve Nash as an athlete who can play the spot up shooter role and also create his own shot; perfect run and gun player for Phoneix.
16. Philadelphia 76ers
Jason Thompson, PF
Age: 21, 6'11", 250 lbs.
Rider, Senior
-This is the Rodney Stuckey of this year's draft. Thompson defines "solid." He's 6'11'' and ready to contribute. Now he'll be fighting for time with Jason Smith and Reggie Evans, but Thompson is a blue collar player who lives to play in the low post. Despite the competition he faced, Thompson is someone scouts will love as a role player.
17. Toronto Raptors
Robin Lopez, PF/C
Age: 20, 7'0", 255 lbs.
Stanford, Sophomore
This team needs a rugged player who defends and rebounds. Robin Lopez won't give them much offensively, but they should not need it. If they want more offense, they should give either T.J. Ford or Jose Calderon to the highest bidder who can provide a scoring punch alongside Bosh.
18. Washington Wizards
Ty Lawson - PG
20 years old; 5'11"; 175 lbs.
North Carolina, Sophomore
19. Cleveland Cavaliers
Kosta Koufos, C
19 years old; 7'1"; 245 lbs.
Ohio State, Freshman
20. Denver Nuggets
Mario Chambers, PG/SG
22 years old; 6'1"; 190 lbs.

Higher Education and High-Tech Workforce Are Perfect Together:
"Furthering higher education programs in key disciplines will help to improve the workforce, create new jobs, and boost our overall economy."
|— Governor Whitman
The High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants will enhance a wide range of academic programs spanning all sectors of New Jersey's higher education system. The seven winning institutions are: Bergen Community College, The College of New Jersey, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University (2), Salem Community College, Stevens Institute of Technology (2), and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. See Innovations for complete descriptions of the winning proposals.
The grants respond to a key recommendation in New Jersey's Plan for Higher Education: 1999 Update, which calls on colleges and universities to identify their strongest programs and make them competitive with the best in the region, the nation, or the world. The long-range plan update proposes supplemental state funding to assist institutions where there is strong evidence of institutional planning and leadership in areas that coincide with state goals.
The Governor's $165 million economic package, New Jersey Jobs for the New Economy, targeted four key academic areas that directly affect the high-tech workforce:
"In addition to spurring continued economic growth, these exciting proposals will raise the overall prominence of New Jersey higher education," said Commission Chairman Al Koeppe. "By taking strong academic programs to the next level, these grants will help to attract top faculty and students from within New Jersey and out of state."
The nine winning programs were selected from among 45 proposals submitted by colleges and universities in all sectors of the higher education system.
Al Koeppe, a member of the Commission on Higher Education from its inception, was elected by his colleagues in June to a two-year term as chairman.
"In the six years since Governor Whitman established it as the coordinating body for New Jersey higher education, the Commission on Higher Education has had its share of successes, thanks to the cooperation it has enjoyed with the higher education community at large," said Mr. Koeppe, who is president and chief operating officer of Public Service Electric and Gas Co.
"As chairman, I expect to build on those successes in planning and policy development and continue our commitment to advocacy for higher education. Our system of public and independent colleges and universities is critical to New Jersey's economic growth and vitality. All involved must work to raise awareness of higher education's important contributions," he said.
The Commission also elected as vice chair William M. Freeman, president of the Public Communications Group of Verizon Communications, Inc. Past chairman Alfred J. Cade, John Kelly, and Amy Handlin were elected to serve on the Commission's Executive Committee.
Nine Projects Win High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants
In this edition, Innovations profiles the nine projects awarded High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants by the Commission on Higher Education.
Bergen Community College$573,300
The College of New Jersey$2,498,074
Rutgers University, New Brunswick$1,335,250
Rutgers University, New Brunswick$2,500,000
Salem Community College$204,163
Stevens Institute of Technology$1,341,800

Hundreds of middle school and high school students from four New Jersey urban school districts had the time of their lives last year — gearing up for college.
They devoted their Saturdays, weekday afternoons, and summers to taking classes in English, math, and science. They worked with tutors and mentors and they studied for achievement exams.
The first group of students participating in New Jersey's GEAR UP program have already been rewarded with better grades, certificates of achievement, and the opportunity to participate in field trips and celebrations.
But the biggest payoff from their involvement in the grant-funded program will come when they graduate from high school and go on to college. Each participant who completes the program and enrolls in a New Jersey institution will receive a NJ GEAR UP scholarship of up to $3,000 each year, contingent on continued federal funding.
The Commission on Higher Education won a $10 million GEAR UP grant from the U.S. Department of Education last August. Led by the Commission, the New Jersey GEAR UP State Project supports six colleges and universities in serving students from 17 middle and high schools in Camden, Trenton, Newark, and Jersey City.
The NJ GEAR UP path to college is hands-on and effective. In the first year alone, NJ GEAR UP participants took part in a wide variety of learning experiences to increase their academic readiness, inform them about postsecondary education, and motivate them to complete high school and go on to college.
With the help of hundreds of instructors, tutors, mentors, counselors, parents, and program staff, students have the opportunity to:
The program also helped graduating seniors grapple with college and financial aid applications. By the end of the program's first year, nearly all of the 47 NJ GEAR UP seniors had been accepted to a college or university (40 in New Jersey and 6 out of state).
Student by student, NJ GEAR UP is helping New Jersey young people realize their dreams of a future that includes a college education. As the program kicks off its second year, new 7th and 8th graders will be recruited while high schoolers continue to develop their academic skills and focus on preparing for college.

Michelle Kateman and Tedd Konya, the first students to serve full terms as voting members of the Commission on Higher Education, were sworn in on September 22.
Ms. Kateman, a student at Ramapo College of New Jersey, expects to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, as well as her certification in secondary education in 2001. She is active in the Ramapo College Student Government Association, and served as president of the college's Political Forum and as president of the Alpha Phi Omega Community Service Organization. She also tutors students with learning disabilities. Ms. Kateman received several awards for her commitment to service and is listed in Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities.
Mr. Konya, a biology major at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, currently serves as president of the university's Student Government Organization and as a general member of the Resident Student Association. He is captain of the FDU cross-country team and is also active in the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
Coincidentally, both of the students hail from East Brunswick.
The students were nominated by their campus student government organizations for appointment to the Commission by Governor Christine Todd Whitman. They will serve one-year terms.
The Commission is recommending greater state investment in New Jersey's colleges and universities, directly linking the budget request to higher education's role in addressing the economic and social challenges facing the state.
The Commission's budget policy statement for FY 2002 is slated for adoption at the October 27 meeting. It is accompanied this year by a supporting document that bolsters the budget request with extensive data and information articulating higher education's integral role in expanding the economy, developing the workforce, preparing future leaders, and extending opportunities to all New Jerseyans.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Development of cyber and information security for off-the-shelf smartphones and tablets for the U.S. Marines is continuing under a contract to ViaSat Inc.
Under the $1.65 million follow-on contract, ViaSat will first develop a prototype trusted smartphone and then a production-ready version by the spring of this year. By summer, a new secure mobile system available for any Android device is expected.
"Adding ViaSat cyber and information security to commercial off-the-shelf smartphones and tablets can enable personnel to communicate securely over 3G/4G/LTE cellular and WiFi networks, store sensitive data and protect their devices against malware attacks," ViaSat said.
"ViaSat is working on a number of ongoing developments to deliver a secure mobile enterprise system that can connect COTS devices seamlessly into a variety of carrier networks."
ViaSat said its work is for tactical use by troops on the battlefield but the system it is developing will be applicable for other government or commercial customers.

Split verdict for NY man accused of kidnap attempt
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A man already facing prison time for faking his own drowning in an insurance fraud scheme was convicted Friday of impersonating a police detective, but he was cleared of attempting to kidnap a woman authorities said he chased and tried to force into his van.
Raymond Roth showed no reaction when Nassau County Court Judge Tammy S. Robbins ruled after a two-day non-jury trial on Long Island. The judge found Roth not guilty of attempted kidnapping and attempted coercion but convicted him of criminal impersonation, attempted burglary and attempted unlawful imprisonment.
A defense attorney, Brian Davis, had argued that Roth thought the woman he confronted was a prostitute but conceded that Roth was guilty of claiming to be a police officer when he tried to force her into his van. He described Roth's actions as "a lot of big-mouth bravado from somebody who really wasn't in control of all his faculties."
FILE - This Aug. 15, 2012 photo shows Raymond Roth, center, as he is escorted by law enforcement officers to the Long Island State Park Police Headquarters, in Babylon, N.Y. Roth already facing prison time for faking his own drowning in an insurance fraud scheme was convicted Friday, March 7, 2014 of impersonating a police officer, but he was cleared of attempting to kidnap a woman authorities said he chased and tried to force into his van. (AP Photo/Kathy Kmonicek, File)
Davis said Roth has a variety of problems.
"It's part mental issues and also part substance abuse," he said. "He cannot drink alcohol. He cannot take illicit substances. And if he's going to drink, he's going to continue to get into trouble."
The trial was the latest in a series of legal problems Roth, 49, has faced since faking his own drowning at Jones Beach in July 2012. Prosecutors said that the day Roth pleaded guilty to insurance fraud in the fake-drowning case last March he went to a Freeport neighborhood and tried to kidnap the woman, Carmen Colon.
Colon testified that she was terrified when she was confronted by Roth as she walked to her job at a check-cashing store. She testified that Roth tried to block her path to the store with his vehicle several times and then followed her into the store, declaring he was a police officer attempting to arrest a prostitute.
"I thought he was going to rape or kill me," Colon testified.
Roth fled after store employees said they were calling police. He was arrested several days later after being identified on a store video.
Roth had been looking at a 90-day jail sentence in the insurance fraud case, but that deal was negated following his arrest on the other charges. He now faces up to four years in prison in that case and could face an additional four years on the latest convictions. Sentencing was scheduled for March 21.
On Wednesday, Roth's son Jonathan Roth was sentenced to a year in jail for his role in falsely reporting that his father had drowned while swimming in their scheme to collect $400,000 in life insurance.
Police marine units, helicopters and officers searched for Raymond Roth for days with no results. A relative later reported he was in Florida.
Davis, the defense attorney, said Roth was pleased with the judge's verdict Friday.
"He's got to do his time," Davis said. "When he gets out we really have to find the appropriate treatment for him. He really has to be under the care of a real top-notch psychiatrist."
Roth also pleaded guilty to violating an order of protection obtained by his estranged wife. She notified authorities that Roth may have faked his drowning after discovering emails written between Roth and his son plotting the ruse.
Prosecutors did not immediately comment on Friday's verdict.

Dynamic Web Solutions Offers New Scholarship for Outstanding Search Engine Marketing Students
Brian Forrester, owner of Dynamic Web Solutions LLC in Richmond, recently contacted the College of Business to discuss the possibility of beginning a new $1,000 Internet marketing scholarship for the Outstanding JMU Internet Marketing student.
Brian began recruiting summer interns from JMU last year. He says, "This idea came about from an interview with a 2012 JMU marketing graduate, Cheryl Jones, who explained that she had taken an Internet marketing class that Theresa Clarke had put together." He went on to say that one of the company's biggest challenges is finding talented team members who have search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) skills, people who really understand how the Internet works.
Brian did hire Cheryl for a full-time position. Prior to that, his most recent hire relocated from San Diego. He notes that it's been difficult to find talented people locally. More dollars are spent on online marketing these days, yet it's hard to find people who know how to effectively maximize those online marketing campaigns.
Brian heard about the class at JMU from other recent graduates. He has since begun talking to other Virginia universities, suggesting that they add SEO/SEM classes. He says, "I feel it's a sought after skill set post graduation. There is a shortage of graduates who truly understand search engine marketing."
His company, Dynamic Web Solutions, has experienced a 754% growth spurt in the past three years. The need for people with excellent Internet marketing skills continues to grow. Many companies have in-house marketing departments, and they need graduates with the same skills.
Brian adds, "I want to encourage students to pursue education in search engine marketing. Students with an understanding of SEO and SEM are more marketable and can command a higher salary. It also offers the chance for upward mobility. Plus, the work atmosphere at SEM companies is more fun!"
Brian started Dynamic Web Solutions in 2009. He attended JMU, then transferred to Virginia Commonwealth University, where he studied music and business. He also worked in Hollywood as an audio engineer for two years before moving back to Richmond and starting his company.
His objective in starting this scholarship is to encourage students to get involved in this field of study. He is also trying to create a virtual bench of people with SEO expertise. His primary desire is to shine a bigger light on this emerging field, which holds lots of promise.
This annual scholarship will begin in the spring of 2014. Eligible students must be enrolled in MKTG 477, have a GPA of 3.0, and do well in MKTG 477. Please contact Theresa Clarke, firstname.lastname@example.com, with questions.
The College of Business thanks Brian Forrester and Dynamic Web Solutions for this generous outreach effort.

Food poisoning
Food poisoning refers to acute illness due to the ingestion of food. It can lead to infectious diarrhea.
The term usually includes:
The term usually does not include the consequences of invasive organisms acquired via the food supply. (The broader term foodborne illness includes these conditions.)
Onset of food poisoning following the consumption of the tainted food or drink can last from one to ten days.[clarification needed]
Food poisoning can be a notifiable disease in some jurisdictions. An alarming number of people are affected annually by food poisoning. Food poisoning endangers between sixty and eighty million people throughout the world each year and results in between six and eight million deaths.
Common causes of food poisoning: If the incubation period is less than six hours, a possible cause is Staphylococcus aureus toxin ingestion. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Another is Bacillus cereus toxin ingestion. Symptoms include vomiting, and nausea (the "emetic syndrome").[citation needed]
If the incubation period is more than ten hours, a possible cause is B. cereus toxin ingestion. Symptoms include diarrhea and cramps (the "diarrheal syndrome"). Another is ingestion of Clostridium perfringens bacteria, which release a toxin in the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include diarrhea and cramps.[citation needed]
E. coli may also cause food poisoning with symptoms varying with the serotype.[citation needed]

DENVER -- Jim Scherr has stepped down as the chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, a surprising resignation that comes with the federation facing financial difficulties and in the midst of trying to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
Scherr announced his decision Thursday. His last day will be March 31, and he will be replaced on an interim basis by Stephanie Streeter, a member of the USOC board of directors.
On Tuesday, Scherr announced the USOC would trim up to 15 percent of its staff as part of an effort to pare $7.1 million from the 2009 budget and stay ahead of the bad economy. During a news conference that day in Washington, he spoke about the future and gave no signs of his pending resignation.
He will leave nearly four years after taking over at the USOC, where he helped the federation streamline a bulky governing structure and regain a reputation that was sullied in the wake of the Salt Lake City Olympics bid scandal.
The timing is bizarre. The USOC is moving into the final stages of helping with the bid to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago. The SportAccord, an international gathering of sports dignitaries, including those from the International Olympic Committee, is set for later this month in Denver with all four finalists scheduled to present their pitches for the games. And in April, Chicago will host the International Olympic Committee on a final tour of the city in advance of the October decision.
"Well, it doesn't help. For sure, it doesn't help," 2016 Chairman and CEO Patrick Ryan said. "But the reality of it is peope come and go."
One of the USOC's biggest challenges over the past few years has been to establish a sense of continuity in its organization, so international types will feel more comfortable with leaders of the richest and largest Olympic federation in the world.
Scherr was, of course, a key part of that leadership team, but he'll soon be leaving.
"Jim guided our organization through a period of unprecedented challenge and change, and did so with an unwavering commitment to enabling America's athletes to succeed on the field of play," USOC chairman Larry Probst said in the news release.

Coupons.com is bringing you more team workouts today. This time we're sharing the routines completed by Cheryl and Helen. Let's see how these two prepared for their summer bodies by using fitness balls and 15-minute home routine from Pinterest.
Name: Cheryl Clarke
Job: Online Marketing Specialist
Age: 28
Stats: 5'2-1/2″
Why the Change: For his birthday, I got my husband a personal trainer so that he could have consistent motivation for eating healthy and working out. A few weeks after getting him the trainer, I thought to myself, "why don't I use my own advice and start eating better and exercising more too?" So I went to the gym 4-6 days a week and watched what I ate, which really meant substituting some carb-heavy foods with protein.
The Workout: I didn't stick to any specific workout. Instead, I tried a few different things. Some days I would do P90X, while other times I would ride on a bike trail near my house. For the most part, I would go to the gym and do cardio on the elliptical, treadmill or bike to turn at least 300 calories. Then I would do weight lifting in the form of 15-pound dumbbell swings, ab workouts on a fitness ball, planks and leg lifts. I just wanted to always incorporate both cardio and weights into my routine.
As far as food goes, I was more adamant about the amount of calories I ate so that it would correlate with the amount of calories that I was burning at the gym. Also, I ate smaller meals more often–for about six meals a day. My husband also made me yummy green smoothies full of kale, avocado, banana and chia seeds.
My Results: I started working out the week of May 11, 2014. It's been about seven weeks since then, and it's healthy to lose about 1-2 pounds a week. I can happily say that I'm in that range of weight loss, but it's not about a specific number for me. It's about achieving a toned, healthy look. But I'm considering getting some sort of FuelBand so I can better track calories burned outside of the gym.
Name: Helen Fang
Job: Marketing
Age: 32
Stats: 5'9?
Workout: I randomly found this 15-minute workout by fitness model Jamie Eason on Pinterest. It's very simple and can be done anywhere–no equipment or even shoes required. I chose this because it was positioned as a workout that moms can do while the kids are sleeping. While I don't have kids, I was motivated (and maybe a little ashamed) that if busy moms can do this, then so can a busy working professional. I simply downloaded the image from Jamie's Facebook fan page and referenced it during each session.
What I Liked: Initially, I was intimidate by the sheer number of exercise drills to be done in 15 minutes. The first time I did it, I came in at around 17 minutes–not bad! As I became more familiar with the routine and pattern, I was actually able to complete it under 15. What's great about this routine is that it will get your blood pumping and you will sweat. Since the focus is lower body and cardio, you will experience some soreness which means it's actually working. I'm hoping to take this routine on the road when I travel this summer for vacation and work.
What I Didn't Like: There's nothing that I didn't like about this routine. But I would add some additional abs and arms if you're seeking a full-body workout.

When I wrote my year-end column in December last year, I thought it was amusing that the year included the unlucky number 13 at the end of it.
Would it be a good year or a bad year? I decided that, although it was 2013, I was hopeful.
Well, 2013, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
This is one year I will not miss. The year started with a New Year's Eve crisis. We spilled soda into my daughter's laptop computer when she was in the middle of an important grad school exam. By the time we were done, only extraordinary efforts saved her data, and we ended up buying a new computer.
The year went downhill from there, with family tragedies and illnesses, losses of friends and endless uncertainty in almost every aspect of our lives. It seemed like something bad was always lurking around the corner.
As I did last year, I go into the new year with lots of leftover holiday cookies to eat. For me, cookies in the house are a crisis because I am a cookie addict. I was worried I would again go on a cookie binge. I did, but the pounds I later struggled to take off after eating too many of the wonderful things were the least of my worries. It was not far into the year that I found myself wondering how many more things I and my family could endure.
The Boston Marathon bombing did not help. In the news business, we learn to be hardened to just about any unexpected event, but this one was tough for me. The day before the marathon, I ran in the B.A.A. 5K, which began and ended at the marathon finish line. The next day I was on my way home from visiting Plimoth Plantation with my grandchildren when I noticed reports on Twitter of explosions near the finish line of the marathon.
My first thought was of friends running the race or likely to be watching. As it became clear something awful had happened, I found myself frantically trying to contact people I knew were there. The inability to reach them made it worse. I later learned all were safe. No one I knew personally was injured, but many saw their dreams of finishing the marathon end on Hereford Street, up on Heartbreak Hill or somewhere else along the route.
We all know what followed. Police shut down large sections of the city to find those responsible. They tracked them down, but the damage was already done to the victims and to the psyches of many.
For me, the bombing resulted in new friends and deepening connections with those I already knew, but it also led to feelings of vulnerability that have been tough to shake.
This year has been a constant topic of conversation in my family about how much we have lost. There are upsides and downsides to every year. Nothing is perfect, and most years are far from perfect, but mostly we roll with the punches. We hope something good is right around the corner.
This year, there hasn't been much good waiting right around the corner. It has left me more than a little cynical about the future. I try to be upbeat and positive, but I think I am developing triskaidekaphobia. The tsunami of bad that has overwhelmed the good this year has led me to conclude there may be something to all the superstitions about the number 13. I can't wait for 2014 to roll around. I want to be hopeful again. I acknowledge that 14 is unlucky in some cultures, but I view it as a lot more positive than 13.
I know there are never any guarantees. Every year comes with a new set of possibilities, good or bad. I know that and accept it, but I still want to be hopeful. A year from now I want to be able to say, "Hey, 2014 was not a bad year."
In that spirit, I wish all a happy new year, and 2013, good riddance.
