Criminal mischief alleged
Crown Point crash investigated
Ticonderoga police arrested a Clemons man on felony criminal mischief charges Jan. 9.
John J. McDonald, 34, allegedly smashed the windshield of several cars parked in a parking lot off of Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga in November 2012, according to the Ticonderoga police.
McDonald was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree criminal mischief, a felony, and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief, a felony.
McDonald was arraigned in Crown Point Court and sent to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $7,500 cash or $15,000 bond.
Moriah arrest
A Port Henry man and woman were arrested following a domestic dispute Dec. 21.
Police were dispatched to 2951 Dugway Road in Moriah for an alleged domestic dispute with property damage at about 7 p.m. after a 911 call, according to state police.
Scott L. Stockwell, 39, allegedly caused more than $1,000 worth of damage to his mother's bed at her residence, police said.
Stockwell's mother was transported to a hospital for chest pain, police said, but the police report did not specify the origin of her injury.
Stockwell allegedly left his mother's residence after the incident with Sienna S. Hayes, 19, of Port Henry, police said.
Police located Stockwell in Port Henry later that day, arresting him.
Stockwell was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, a felony, and third-degree assault, also a felony.
He was arraigned in Moriah Town Court that day and was sent to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.
Hayes was arrested in Port Henry the day of the incident and was charged with disorderly conduct with obscene language or gestures, a violation, for allegedly shouting profanities at police when they were arresting Stockwell, police said.
She was released on an appearance ticket.
Crown Point accident
Two people were injured in a two-car accident in Crown Point Jan. 10.
Tiffany Renee Titus, 28, of Crown Point, was driving a 2005 Ford Escape northwest on Creek Road near White Church Road when she allegedly lost control because she was traveling at an unsafe speed on the slippery road, state police said.
Titus's vehicle slid across the road into the path of a gray 2009 Toyota Corolla driven by Scott B. Munson, 46, of Moriah, police said.
Munson was unable to avoid Titus's car and her vehicle struck his, police said.
Titus and Munson were transported to Inter-Lakes Health.
Schroon gun incident
A Schroon Lake man was jailed after he allegedly pointed a handgun at a relative Jan. 12.
David J. Mitchell, 58, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony, and misdemeanor counts of second-degree menacing and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to state police.
Mitchell was charged in connection with an incident at a home in Schroon Lake in which he allegedly pointed a gun at a male relative, police said.
Mitchell has a criminal record that prohibits from possessing a gun, according to police records.
At least part of his criminal record stems from a 1999 incident in which he was accused of firing a rifle into a wall of his home during a domestic dispute with a woman, officials said.He was charged with six felonies in that case, and pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless endangerment. He was sentenced to six months in the county jail and five years on probation.
He was arraigned and sent to Essex County Jail for lack of bail.
Man sentenced to prison
A West Nyack man has been sentenced to prison for a November 2011 hit-and-run crash on the Northway that killed a Mechanicville woman.
Joseph F. Bohunicky Jr. was indicted last year on charges of leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident on I-87 in Schroon Nov. 20, 2011, and following too closely. He pleaded guilty in October to the felony leaving the scene charge.
He was sentenced to 1-1/3 to 4 years in state prison and ordered to pay $7,517 in restitution to the victim's family. In addition, he was fined $2,000 and his driver's license was revoked.
Mary J. Morrissey, age 65, of Mechanicville died in the crash. Thomas LaFountain, the driver of the vehicle Morrissey was in, was injured.

Rudyard Kipling
The Thorkild's Song - Poem by Rudyard Kipling
There's no wind along these seas,
Out oars for Stavenger!
Forward all for Stavenger!
So we must wake the white-ash breeze,
Let fall for Stavenger!
A long pull for Stavenger!
Oh, hear the benches creak and strain!
(A long pull for Stavenger!)
She thinks she smells the Northland rain!
(A long pull for Stavenger!)
She thinks she smells the Northland snow,
And she's as glad as we to go,
She thinks she smells the Northland rime,
And the dear dark nights of winter-time.
She wants to be at her own home pier,
To shift her sails and standing gear.
She wants to be in her winter-shed,
To strip herself and go to bed,
Her very bolts are sick for shore,
And we-we want it ten times more!
So all you Gods that love brave men,
Send us a three-reef gale again!
Send us a gale, and watch us come,
With close-cropped canvas slashing home!
But--there's no wind on all these seas,
A long pull for Stavenger!
So we must wake the white-ash breeze,
A long pull for Stavenger!

Jennifer Lopez working hard on Las Vegas residency
- Bang Showbiz
- 24 September 2015
Jennifer Lopez has admitted she has "a lot of work to do" on her Las Vegas residency, which opens at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January
Jennifer Lopez has "a lot of work to do" on her Las Vegas residency.
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker is set to bring her show to the Axis theatre stage in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January but admits she is still "conceptually moulding" her performance to make sure it will be perfect.
She shared: "We have a lot of work to do. It is conceptually moulding the show and figuring out what that is going to be.
"Putting all the pieces together and seeing what we are going to do new, and what we are going to keep from other shows I've done and capturing the energy I bring to the stage."
The 46-year-old beauty is also preparing to shoot a music video for her duet with Jason Derulo and teased the possibility of shirtlessness - but insists it won't be from her.
She told Extra: "He will be shirtless, I'm sure. I'm not sure what I'm going to be, but I won't be shirtless, that's for sure."
Meanwhile, Jennifer cannot wait to launch the "glamourous and beautiful" show, something she has been preparing for her entire life.
She said: "It is going to be glamorous and beautiful and the costumes and all of it. The production is something that I haven't gotten to do yet. So it's going to be me in my element doing what I do at the highest level and it's exciting.
"I'm excited about it. You know, I feel like I've been preparing for this my whole life."

Teh !\/! € !\/! € Wrld-
Yeah I have seen them But don't know what they are called!
September 1982 witnessed a catastrophic change in our internet culture.
Scott Fahlman invented the first ever emoticon/smile ":-)".This founded the revolution of internet memes.
INTERNET MEMES- A concept,cultural idea or a social idea which spreads around the internet.
In laymen terms memes are "things on the internet" - 'in jokes' , ' in pictures' or in 'repeated references' that produce a knowing smile from those-in-the-know and a sense of bafflement from those who don't ;)
In further simpler words, just as a virus spreads and infect human life similarly meme is a concept or an idea which spreads around the internet and entertains us. No further simplification is possible if you haven't seen them J
For the geeks-"Meme" comes from the Greek word "mimema" and pronounced as "meme" because "meme" rhymes with "gene" according to Richard Dawkins the person who first termed this phrase. People also prefer pronouncing it as meh-meh.
Let's have a look at some the most common memes going around…
Short for "Oh, really?" is represented by a Snowy Owl. The phrase "O RLY?" is typically used in a sarcastic or scornful manner, often in response to a statement that the speaker feels is obvious, or brazenly self-contradictory. This meme Originated in 2003, peaked in late 2005 to early 2006 and since then has phased out of trend.
A troll is someone who posts inflammatory, impertinent,, off-topic messages or as the New York Times define "manipulating other people's emotional equilibrium."
This black and white drawing of this meme displays a mischievous grin and portrays the expression of trolling. Posting a Trollface into a forum is often used when someone was being fooled or intentionally angered. The face commonly appears in rage comics.
This meme has peaked up since Jan 2009 and currently is one of the highest searched internet meme which has reached the Breakout stage in google insights.
3) What People Think I Do / What I Really Do
This meme is a series of visual charts depicting a range of preconceptions associated with a particular field of occupation or expertise.
This meme compares varying impressions about one's profession -held by others, self-image and the often mundane reality of the job.
These also describe range of perceptions of a field, occupation or expertise.
This meme originated in 2012 and has been very popular among social networking sites.
4)You don't say
This is a rage comic face used as a sarcastic response to an obvious observation or statement.The meme is created from The image of Nicolas Cage that was taken from a scene in the 1988 black comedy film Vampire's Kiss.
Originated in mid 2011 and is currently one of the highest trending memes.It has reached the breakdown stage on google insights.
5)Bitch please
The drawing is based on a photograph of basketball player Yao Ming at a press conference.
The image is typically used as a reaction face to convey a dismissive attitude towards someone else's input.This meme is often used to express a more flippant attitude towards an unworthy remark made by someone else.
6)Fuck Yea
Fuck Yea is a series of four-pane cartoon strips featuring a stick figure looking rather self-complacent and quite frankly, for all the right reasons.These cartoons illustrate all sorts of triumphant moments in our daily lives that make us feel awesome.This meme originated in 2010 and has peaked ever since.
This meme portrays a male or female rage comic characters as less than intelligent or ignorant in a given narrative, although they may represent situations or emotions that readers can easily empathize with.
This meme originated after 2010 and peaked the breakdown stage in 2011.
This Guy is a character using SMS shorthands and carefree grammar as a way to bring someone's attention on a particular subject or issue.
9)Me Gusta
A character that is typically used to respond to an awkward or disgusting event with "Me Gusta," which means "it pleases me" in Spanish (often understood as "I like it" in English).
Internet memes in a way are one of the most effective ways of marketing. Think of viral marketing —passing word on from person to person — but instead of a product, the idea being forwarded is a humorous image, video, or other digital medium that becomes a part of our day-to-day usage and we can easily connect and relate to it.
There are many(non-internet-dwellers) who don't know what is Pepper Spray Cop. But, millions of internet inhabitants- first found out or became aware about this 'shameful' police abuse because of the silly versions of the image being circulated online or in other terms because of the memes which were circulated around people.
In the end-
If you still have no clue what this article is all about, do visit www.knowyourmeme.com coz otherwise whenever you encounter a meme you will have a bewildered expression on your face.
Some of the memes i found worth sharing.

1st Hall Of Humorists Centenary
On May 9th, 1912, the 1st Hall of Portuguese Humorists was inaugurated, an important moment in the history of nineteenth-century Portuguese art and culture. The exhibition was held in Chiado, Lisbon, where the Grémio Literário (Literary Guild) opened its doors to welcome the works of twenty-eight artists. Surprisingly, it was visited by Manuel de Arriaga, president of the young Republic, echoing in the press of the time, who tried to purchase a work from each of the exhibitors. The event resulted from the efforts of the Society of Portuguese Humorists, formed a year ago under the flagship presidency of Manuel Gustavo Bordalo Pinheiro, son and successor of the noted artist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, already deceased, honoured with eighteen of his lithographs at the entrance of the Hall. Two other artists were also posthumously remembered: Francisco Teixeira and the more prominent Celso Herminio. But the presence of the master Rafael Bordalo fulfilled another sense, serving as a deposit to this entire generation of Bordalianos and especially to the new modernist humorists. Some and others presented more than three hundred works, including engravings, sketches, covers for publications, decorative friezes, statues, relief plaques and even masks, accumulated in three rooms of the Guild and listed in a modest edited catalogue. Among the heirs of the Bordaliano taste, the son Manuel Gustavo, Alonso (pen name of Joaquim Guilherme Santos Silva) stood out, as did Francisco Valença, which prolonged the nineteenth-century trait. But it was the work of the young ones that marked this event in the Portuguese art . The proposal of the young artists sought to counter the exhausted subject of politics, an accurate social commentary, accomplished through a synthetical stroke of figure and context, more current. There was a host of new ones, like Américo Amarelhe, cartoonist of the theatrical world, of the military milieu, such as the official Menezes Ferreira, the urban joke by Sanches de Castro, the kermesse figures of the emigrated Emmerico Nunes (sent from Munich) and the popular laughter of Stuart Carvalhais (in Paris). Thus, the elegance of Jorge Barradas design, the boulevard figurines in clay, from Canto da Maia, were distinguished by the critics and most important, in equal footing, the exemplary modern artists Cristiano Cruz and Almada Negreiros. Great absences were noted, such as Leal da Camaras (with an exhibition being held at the same time in the capital), Luis Filipe and Correia Dias. After one hundred years, to mark this event, twelve artists were selected, representing the two streams of artistic confrontation and, for the first time, we tried to find the pieces exhibited at the time, to serve as an illustration for the stamp dedicated to each author. Although mostly successful, it was mandatory to open an exception for Emmerico (the only one to exceed the chronological limit of 1912), Manuel Gustavo, Celso and Barradas due to unsuccess in the search. The humour now achieved, mainly through details of the works of the artists, did justice to the effort reflected in the Hall. Despite the enormous success, societys taste has not changed, continuing to please the Bordaliano style. Modernity, understood only by some, would later reach the public, cultural and mentally unprepared...

A Pair of Lefthanders
Two lefthanded baseball pitchers died this week, Preacher Roe and Herb Score. (Our obituary of Score isn't in the paper as of Nov. 12 because we didn't have enough space.)
Roe was a crafty pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers during their "Boys of Summer" glory days of the late 1940s and 1950s and helped pitch the Dodgers into three World Series. In 1951, he had a sensational record of 22-3, which is still the Dodgers' record for best winning percentage for a pitcher with 20 wins or more. Preacher was a colorful character from Arkansas who liked to pass himself off as a hayseed when, in fact, he was one of the few college-educated players of his era.
He was a promising pitcher who led the National Leauge in strikeouts in 1945 when he suffered a grievous injury -- a broken skull sustained during a fight at a girls' high school basketball game, of all places. He was terrible for a few years and was traded from Pittsburgh to Brooklyn, where his career blossomed. Throughout his career, Roe was suspected of being a spitballer, and he had an assortment of twitches, head swipes and deceptive motions that Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry would borrow in a later generation. Only after he retired did the old Preacher reveal that, yes, he did occasionally throw a wet one, which he called his "Beech-Nut slider." (Updated: In the obituary, I mentioned that the "Beech Nut" came from the gum Roe chewed. A reader has pointed out that it was also the name of a chewing tobacco, which makes more sense and would have produced more liquid for a spitball.)
Roe knew, of course, that it was the threat of the spitball more than the pitch itself that gave him his greatest over hitters. His best pitch was actually the humble chanegup.
Typically, Roe -- a raceonteur par excellence -- said that he had "a changeup, a changeup on my changeup and a changeup on the changeup of my changeup."
He pitched in three World Series but never on the winning side. He retired in 1954, one year before the Brooklyn Dodgers won their only World Series.
Herb Score may be the greatest "what-might-have-been" story in baseball history. He was the American League rookie of the year in 1956, when he won 16 games for the Cleveland Indians, then won 20 games in the 1957 and led the league in strikeouts (as he had in his rookie season.) People who saw him pitch said he was bound for the Hall of Fame, unless something happened to derail his career.
Well, it did.
In May 1957, while pitching against the Yankees, the 23-year Score threw a low pitch to infielder Gil McDouglad, who lined it back toward the pitcher's mound. Score, who had an awkward pitching motion that left him vulnerable to batted balls, didn't see the ball off McDougald's bat until it was upon him.
It hit him flush in the right eye, tearing his eyelid, smashing his nose and breaking other bones in his face. (The best account of Score's career and that fateful night in 1957 appears in thhe Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Score missed the rest of the year and part of the 1958 season.
He tried to make a comeback but was never the same. He altered his pitching motion but couldn't recapture his earlier effectiveness and was a shadow of his former self. He retired from baseball at 28.
Score went on to a long career as a broadcaster for the Indians, but to this day his name makes baseball fans shake their heads in sad wonderment at the great career that never was.

How To Make A Gun On Pivot
Know how to make a gun on Pivot can really help you liven up your Pivot Stickfigure Animator videos. This program allows you to create stickfigure animations, and you also have the options of incorporating different elements into your animations. Once you make a gun on Pivot, you can save the file and place it into any of your stickfigure scenes.
To accomplish this, you will need:
- Computer with Internet
- Pivot Stickfigure Animator
- Research various third party websites that offer a download of Pivot Stickfigure Animator. A few of these websites include Softpedia and Snap Files.
- Install Pivot Stickfigure Animator onto your computer. Once you choose a third party website, select the "Download" option and allow the program to install. Depending on your Internet connection, this could take a few minutes.
- Open a new figure type. Run the Pivot Stickfigure Animator program, and select "create figure type" from the "File" menu.
- Create a horizontal line for the barrel of the gun. The line on the figure type screen will be vertical. Rotate the line by clicking and dragging the red dot.
- Add lines to create the gun. The amount of lines you add will depend on how elaborate you want the gun to be. However, you can add one small line that's slightly slanted at the back of the line to create the look for the gun's handle. To add a line, select the "Add Line" option from the left menu.
After you're finished making your gun on Pivot, you can save it by clicking "File" and then "Save As." This will allow you to place it within your stickfigure scenes and to duplicate it whenever you want to.

They are combined in a large plastic container that is used for storage and the proportions vary according to taste. She thinks it's great. Howard ------------------------------

Many of our children are sexually active. Are we doing enough to prepare them for this aspect of their lives?
This month, the Public Square visits Lexington and Cambridge to see what they offer their students. We talk to health educator and author of "The Talk", Dr. Sharon Maxwell who thinks there are major parts of the conversation that are being left unsaid.
Finally, we wrap up with a panel of Arlingtonians who discuss what's happening in Arlington today.
Please join us on The Public Square.

The internet has allowed us to experience cultures and experience from around the world. I am a big severe weather fan, I love the raw power and beauty of a massive supercell thunderstorm, but I was limited to watching recorded videos after the fact. Now you can watch severe storms and storm chasers live on the internet! This actually isn't new, I have been checking this out for a couple years now but it's popularity has really taken off. http://www.tornadovideos.net/live allows you to watch chasers live in the field. This is a technology that could be very useful in emergency management. Yesterday I watched the chasers live while listening to live scanners from area's being impacted. I had a very extensive operational picture even though I was thousands of miles away from the storms. The potential for this technology, especially with newer and faster 4G technology, is enormous. This technology can allow emergency managers to view incidents live from anywhere there is high speed internet access.

Optomechanical effects, in which small physical objects are pushed around, trapped or made to resonante by light, are an important topic of research in the Division.We work with particles guided inside hollow and liquid-filled hollow core PCF, glass nanospikes and optically coupled glass nanowebs only a few 100 nm thick but 10s of µm wide and metres long. A particular success has been the use of GHz acoustic resonances in small-core PCF for highly stable passive mode-locking of fibre soliton lasers.

Okay, I have absolutely no idea where this place is, but what I wouldn't do right about now to be there for a very long holiday. The weather here is enough to depress just about everyone, and I'm getting bored of freezing to death as soon as I step outside!
I don't want to keep looking like a bloody snowman, with a red nose and chapped lips. I want a lush sun tan, and I want to look healthy again! I want to be able to sunbathe, and go to the beach and swim with the sun beating down.
I love going on road trips with my friends, and ending up somewhere fun, and taking lots of pictures.
Oh summer 2010, please be better than the dire attempts of 2009, 2008 and 2007. Thank you :)

As part of its response to a potential subpoena by the Mississippi attorney general and accusations from The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) earlier this month that Google facilitates the sale of drugs without a prescription, among other illegal transactions, Google legal director, Adam Barea, says the company has blocked or removed from its systems more than 3 million ads by suspected "rogue pharmacies" in the last two years.
The current complaints from the State Attorneys General focus primarily on Google allowing illegal sites to show in the organic search results and related queries appearing in the auto complete feature. Bad ads have not been cited as a factor in their objections. This is an area where the search giant has made obvious strides since Google's $500 million settlement in a DOJ investigation over charges that the company allowed Canadian pharmacies advertise illegal pharmaceutical sales without prescriptions in 2011.
In tests today, either no ads showed for queries like "oxycodone no prescription", "no prescription needed", "online pharmacy india", or ads from brand name pharmacies like Walgreens, Drugstore.com or from the drug makers themselves appeared for queries like "online pharmacy no prescription".
Google's Barea says that as of 2010, Google permits only U.S.-based online pharmacies accredited under the National Association Boards of Pharmacy "VIPPS" program to run pharma ads in AdWords and that there are less than 40 VIPPS certified pharmacies operating in the U.S.
Interestingly, Google contracts with LegitScript, an independent company, to sweep for bad pharmaceutical ads. According to LegitScript, the number of illegal drug and pharmacy ads on major search engines has declined by 99.9% percent since 2010.

Up until embarrassingly recently, I didn't really know what constituted as a "seasonal" look. Why couldn't I rock black all summer, or pastels in winter? What's all this about jewel-toned makeup, berry lips and the like? These were just a few of the style questions I would ponder, trying not to sweat to death wearing head to toe grey in July, or purple lips in May.
In my heart of hearts, I don't really care about seasonal trends. What does it matter, really, if you wear a certain colour lipstick or jumper from one month to the next? Breaking the rules is so much more fun. That being said, there is something appealing about neutral, classic colours – taupes, mauves, charcoals, etc.; they flit from season to season never once looking tired on me, and have become some of my favourite tones to work with when it comes to my makeup.
Words can hardly describe how much I adore Dose of Colors' matte liquid lipstick in Desert Suede. After weeks of uncertainty as I searched for the perfect greige/taupe shade, and hours spent watching swatch videos on YouTube, I decided to take the plunge and ordered a tube off eBay. Dose of Colors is not a brand that is stocked in the UK, so it was far from cheap to get hold of, even on eBay. I also ran the risk of landing a dupe – which is dangerous as well as just plain sad. I will probably not use eBay to purchase makeup again, but it's worth considering if you have a very keen eye for fakes and don't mind running the risk.
I mean…just look at it. The formula is velvety and smells divine, like caramel fudge. After exfoliating my lips and applying lip oil, Desert Suede sits comfortably; it is drying, like most matte lipsticks, but looks good. It fades nicely after eating (it survived pizza and ice cream when I wore in on my birthday) and rarely needs reapplying.
Is it autumnal? Does it evoke visions of wintry days? A little, I'd say. It's cool-toned, and reminds me of dull October skies, and London's grey aura as it moves towards the end of the year.
On my eyes, I'm wearing the e.l.f. Studio Rose Gold eyeshadow palette which I'd say suits every season. It features a selection of matte and shimmer shades in gorgeous colours, ranging from coppers and golds to mauves and dusty roses. I haven't nailed down a winning combination of colours just yet but for the moment I've been choosing a mauve pink as a transition shade, a darker shimmery black or gold for the crease, and a dusty rose for the lid. The lightest shade works as an inner corner highlight, but I normally go over that with my Tropic Skin Care highlighter (from this lovely palette) for some added shine.
I wasn't all that impressed with the pigmentation of the shades in this palette when I first tried it out. The staying power, too, struck me as relatively average. I've been putting down the e.l.f. eye shadow primer first and applying the shadows with some old brushes I got from The Body Shop, blending periodically with an e.l.f. blending brush. For the price (a steal compared to some of the higher end palettes out there) I think this palette delivers – it offers a wide range of colours and finishes. As long as you put down enough product, you can create some really nice looks, suitable for both day and night.
Are rose gold tones particularly autumnal? They strike me as more appropriate for Spring, but paired with the cool, taupe tone of the Dose of Colors lipstick, the overall look is decidedly fall.
What do you think of this look? Have you tried any Dose of Colors lipsticks?

The Los Angeles Lakers shocked the sports world on Friday when they fired second-year coach Mike Brown after only five games in the 2012-13 NBA season. The Lakers have been the epitome of a stable franchise known for their deliberate and astute decision making.
Newly acquired point guard Steve Nash, expected to make a major impact, has been injured for most of the games and is not expected back. New center, Dwight Howard is recovering from back surgery and is only able
to perform at roughly 70 percent of his normal capacity. The staff has installed a new "Princeton offense" that the players are still in the process of adjusting too.
With all of these challenges, fans had been warned from the beginning that it would take some time to gel. The team lost all eight of their preseason games -- but appeared to use them as a chance to view different combinations of players rather than focusing on victory. It lost four of the first five games, but the NBA season consists of a prolonged regular season spreading 82 games through many months and lengthy rounds of playoffs. So why weren't the Lakers patient with the development process?
The Lakers have always been a unique franchise owned by unique owners. Jack Kent Cooke assembled three megastars in the Forum -- Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain, and the team competed for the championship every year. They were colorful and talented -- "The Greatest Show on Earth" with mercurial Cooke as the ringmaster and they knew their market -- Los Angeles, Tinseltown. Los Angeles loves
stars and spectacle. Movie stars are stars and we look for athletes to provide the same level of excellence and showmanship. Having grown up here, I know we are a city of frontrunners (except for the Dodgers), looking for the next hot happening.
Jerry Buss knew this when he purchased the team in 1979 and he assembled his favorite team -- the one that ran "Showtime." Led by Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy, the Lakers played electrifying fast break basketball and dazzled the fans. They had attractive, marketable stars, and their rivalry with the Celtics was magical. Coach Pat Riley was telegenic and flashy. This led to the 10 NBA championships for the Buss regime.
Along the way, the Lakers started to compete with the Dodgers for the heart of Southern California sports fans. The most expensive seats sold first, ticket prices were hiked dramatically and sponsorships soared. They were hot! When "Showtime" aged, a new cast of superstars replaced it. Jerry West arranged trades for the draft rights to Kobe Bryant and signed Shaquille O'Neal. They had a massive MVP center with a charming personality and gift for gab and the best young player in the game. Phil Jackson, the best coach in NBA history added to the championships. When Shaq left, they drafted Andrew Bynum, a talented young center, and traded for Pau Gasol, an all-pro forward.
Jerry Buss has groomed his son Jim to replace him in day-to-day operations assisted by astute General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Jerry has always understood the market he operates and insisted on exacting standards and goals. He expects the Lakers to have the opportunity to compete for the NBA Championship each and every year. They expect to have a roster starring the most accomplished, exciting players in the
game. And they expect the team to play entertaining basketball.
They charge the second highest ticket price in the NBA. The Lakers charge roughly $100 a ticket, which are premium prices. Their new local television package with Time-Warner pays them $200 million a year, arguably the highest in the NBA. And they knew the on-court formula necessary to trigger the fan frenzy necessary to feed all of their revenue streams.
After losing the second round of the playoffs in back-to-back season, the Buss family knew it was time to act decisively. They traded for veteran point guard Steve Nash who they knew could feed the ball to Bryant and power forward Pau Gasol and revitalize the offense. And they arranged a trade for the best center in the game Dwight Howard and shipped off moody and undependable Andrew Bynum.
They viewed the early returns on Mike Brown's "Princeton offense" and the fact that they were 26th in NBA defense and went back to core principles. They decided that even if players adjusted to the new offense and started to win that it blunted the strengths of key stars and even worse, it was boring. Their payroll is the league's largest at $100 million, which gives them a luxury tax of $30 million. Against those economic realities they didn't blink at the prospect of buying out the last three years of Mike Brown's $11 million contract.
Jerry Buss is 78 and wants to spend his last years watching the type of basketball that he and his fans love. Get ready for some Showtime!

Year Break
Snow on the ground, the thermometer's cold
The ball drop is over, the party grows old
A new year is dawning, resolutions are rife
Weight loss, a new job, or to end war and strife
Plans at their brightest, shiny and new
Yet many the same ones we had last year too
So what truly is different, save a tick of the clock,
A change in the date, and a new party frock?
If the old year hasn't taught us one single thing
No light can it shed on what the new one will bring
When the hoopla dies down what will remain
Is a world growing weary, tired, and mundane
Yet we face the world with hope in our hearts
That the story of the last holiday, Christmas, imparts
Tidings of joy and peace to the Earth
For we celebrate once more our Savior's Birth

Iran's foreign minister said on Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump's latest decision on a nuclear deal between Iran and major powers undermined the solid multilateral agreement.
Trump said on Friday he would waive nuclear sanctions against Iran for the last time to give Washington and its European allies a chance to fix the "terrible flaws" of the 2015 nuclear deal.
"Trump's policy & today's announcement amount to desperate attempts to undermine a solid multilateral agreement, maliciously violating its paras 26, 28 & 29. JCPOA (the nuclear deal) is not renegotiable: rather than repeating tired rhetoric, U.S. must bring itself into full compliance - just like Iran," Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account.

Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Asus G74Sx - Originally BSOD/start up cycle and now CHKDSK/corruption
Hello everyone,
My G74Sx recently went through a BSOD/crash loop and although I never determined the underlying cause I did get it working (temporarily) again. I thought it could be my HDD or RAM going bad, but I'm not sure. I may have made things worse. Hope someone here can help me figure out what's going on!
G74Sx, Intel i7-2630QM @ 2.00GHz, Bios Version American Megatrends Inc. G74Sx.201, 4/27/2011, 12 GB RAM, running Win 7 x64-bit Home Premium
1. Since I bought the system in Sep 2011, it has never booted up from hibernation/sleep well. On startup, it was generally very slow and acted like I was doing too much. It was easier to restart and then it would be fine.
2. Earlier this month (3/6 or 3/7), I was watching a movie and it suddenly froze. The audio continued to play. And when I went to task manager to cancel, I could interact with explorer.exe without any issues. However, the movie image remained frozen in the background behind my taskbar. I shut down the computer correctly.
3. On subsequent start up, it failed to start and BSOD'd. It would go through an endless loop of the Windows logo, act like it was going to start, and then BSOD. It would not boot in Safe Mode. The only thing I could do was go to BIOS.
4. I couldn't find my repair/restore CD, so I ordered a generic Win 7 x64 bit one off Amazon. I was able to run this successfully. It successfully repaired the first time and everything passed (even though there was still 1 root cause). Even though it repaired, it would not boot. So I ran the repair two more times.
5. At the end of the 3rd repair, I went into BIOS and changed from ACTA to ICE. After that, the system booted. I will not pretend to know why this worked and only tried it on a whim after seeing it worked for someone else on a forum. Why would this make a difference? Did I mess something up even more using a generic repair disk and changing this?
6. The system has been fairly stable until a little over a week ago. It doesn't seem to be running at full capacity (still hangs a bit). Last week, it started CHKDSK when booted. It has continually done this, I'd say 75% of the time. The first few times it found nothing, the past few days it found corrections in the index. Yesterday, it mentioned something about "x KB" in bad sectors.
7. Today, there was no CHKDSK running but upon startup there were many subsequent crashes and warning windows. Upon running any program there is error about "x.exe" corrupt file or directory in ...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
I couldn't even run the SF Diagnostic tool without this popping up. I can't .zip the results either (I did use WinRar). When I go to "Send to..." there are no options in the menu.
I also cannot successfully make a repair CD using my computer. I got an error code that said write failed and "0xC0AA301."
I'm at a loss here. Amazingly, it's still running and I'm typing this on here now. Not really concerned about my data since I use Carbonite and have since frozen the backup. I can't tell if this is software or my HDD dying. It's one 750 GB partitioned (how it came).
Thanks so much for your time and help.

I assume you have 3x4GB memory modules. You might try removing the modules and re-seating them. If that's no help, you could remove the memory modules and run with just one at a time as a test. It the errors stop, swap it for another single module and run. Do this for all three modules--One at a time. If there's no errors, add back just one more module (8GB). If that runs, you could have a bad #3 memory slot.

Positive results on a contrast-enhanced whole-body CT scan -- a "pan-scan" -- are conclusive proof of injury in patients with major blunt trauma, researchers reported.
But negative results don't rule out the possibility of injury, according to Dirk Stengel, MD, PhD, of the Berlin-based Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, and colleagues.
In a single-institution study, the pan-scan missed injuries that subsequently needed monitoring in the ICU in more than 6% of patients, Stengel and colleagues reported online in CMAJ.
Pan-scan methods "reduce, but do not eliminate, the risk of missed injuries," the researchers concluded, and "should not replace close monitoring and clinical follow-up of patients with major trauma."
Since the late 1990s, whole-body CT scanning has been used to speed diagnosis in cases of major trauma for such events as auto accidents or falls, Stengel and colleagues noted.
But with increasing "and often uncritical" use has come the concern that some patients are needlessly exposed to radiation, they added.
To examine the accuracy of the method -- and especially the reliability of negative results -- Stengel and colleagues analyzed data on 982 patients with suspected severe injuries who had single-pass pan-scanning at their trauma center between July 2006 and December 2008.
Reviewers analyzed the injuries to five body regions, as seen on the CT results, and compared them with data extracted from hospital charts, subsequent imaging, and interventional procedures with a median follow-up of 39 days.
The pan-scanning, they reported, found 1,756 injuries in the 982 patients scanned, and 360 patients (36.7%) had an Injury Severity Score greater than 15, indicating multiple injuries.
In 77 cases (7.8%) the whole-body scan was deemed to be unnecessary, and the researchers suggested selective scanning would have been more suitable.
On the other hand, 70 injuries were missed in 62 patients, suggesting a residual risk of 6.3%, they reported.
Stengel and colleagues reported that the sensitivity and specificity for the initial pan-scan were as follows:
- 84.6% and 98.9% for head and neck injuries
- 79.6% and 99.1% for facial injuries
- 86.7% and 98.9% for thoracic injuries
- 85.7% and 97.5% for abdominal injuries
- 86.2% and 99.8% for pelvic injuries
"We found that single-pass whole-body computed tomography is very effective ... at determining where there is injured tissue but is variable in excluding injuries in patients with suspected blunt trauma," Stengel said in a statement.
But the goal of the imaging technique is to detect life-threatening injuries quickly. "Given this premise, high specificity -- meaning that a positive test result shows injury -- makes pan-scanning a valuable tool for priority-oriented treatment," Stengel added.
Interestingly, the researchers also concluded that many scans are done too soon and may miss significant injuries to organs, which will become more apparent as organ perfusion is restored.
"The pan-scan performs best 30 minutes after admission, because the sensitivity of the scan increases after this interval," Stengel said.
The researchers cautioned that the results come from a single institution and may not apply elsewhere.
Stengel is a board member of and a consultant for the German Trauma Association. He reported financial links with the German Federal Statutory Accident Insurance, Biomet, DePuy, Stryker, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the European Commission, and the AO Foundation.
Other researchers reported financial ties with NATO, Pfizer, Stryker, Novo Nordisk, Johnson & Johnson Medical, DePuy, Rehavital, and Medkon.

Another America: The Story of Liberia and the Former Slaves Who Ruled It
by James Ciment
Hill and Wang
During Revolutionary times, to be "enlightened" often meant having enough compassion that you were willing to free your slaves — but only upon your death.
So when founding fathers such as George Washington began to pass away around 1800, their slaves were set free into a country that had no desire for them. The result, as James Ciment writes in this thorough account of an experimental nation, was to send free blacks whence they came, to Africa.
Liberia was the country created by freed American slaves who, perversely, became slave owners themselves.
The American Colonization Society (ACS) was founded in 1816 for the purpose, said founding member and US Speaker of the House Henry Clay, of "rid[ding] our country of a useless and pernicious, if not dangerous portion of its population." The ACS viewed such repatriation as a noble mission that would also civilize the "ignorance and barbarism" of Africa.
But freed blacks modeled their country almost exactly on the one they'd left.
"They endeavored to recreate the only social and political order they knew, that of the antebellum South — with themselves as the master class," writes Ciment. "They erected buildings in the style of plantation mansions and dressed in formal 19th century clothes, despite the equatorial climate."
Then they colonized the natives.
These new settlers, who came to be called Americoes, often took in "wards" — the children of natives — to educate them, have them help with chores and to generally "civilize" them. One white physician wrote, "These [wards] are as much slaves as their sable prototypes in the parent states of America."
In 1855, the free black writer William Nesbit wrote of Liberia, "Every colonist keeps native slaves (or as they term them, servants) about him, varying in number from one to 15. These poor souls they beat unmercifully, and more than half starve them, and all the labor that is done at all, is done by these poor wretches."
These atrocities peaked in the 1920s. By then, Liberian natives were being "leased out by private Americo labor contractors," mostly to harvest cocoa on an island in the Gulf of Guinea called Fernando Pó.
"By all accounts, the conditions on the island were appalling," writes Ciment. "Twelve-hour workdays, nights spent locked in crowded barracks, a few yams and dried fish for sustenance, and for those who stole, shirked or protested, brutal punishment. There were even reports of overseers flogging men to death." And, "those who survived and returned to Liberia often went unpaid."
Around this time, a Liberian governor named Allen Yancy — described as "a small ferret-like individual" with a "Napoleonic complex" — regularly used "free labor" to develop his personal farms, "designating this as public work," and having roads built utilizing "brutality, extortion and general exploitation." He was also paid for every laborer he shipped off to Fernando Pó and got full control of their pay should they survive and return.
When a local chief had his men kill members of a rival tribe, President Charles D.B. King, who'd won the office in a rigged election, had the chief imprisoned, while Yancy made a deal to free the chief in exchange for 500 tribesman to be sent to Fernando Pó.
The trafficking escalated over time, with Yancy and another governor "shipp[ing] more than 2,400 men to the island between late 1928 and the end of 1929."
When this first became public, not only were there no consequences, but Yancy was made vice president.
An American investigation of Liberian slavery exposed Yancy's crimes. There was worldwide outrage — Britain threatened to send a warship — but in the end, while King and Yancy were forced to resign, neither suffered any real repercussions, and Yancy lived another 11 years a free man.
In 1930, King officially banned such "labor exports."
"Freed slaves, given the chance to govern themselves, had turned out to be no better than the white imperialists who had descended upon Africa around the same time," Ciment writes. "If there was any lesson to be taken from Liberian history, it was a general one about human nature: an oppressed people could readily become oppressors."

Oh wow I tried one of your challenges Scotty.. Very nice!! Got me feeling the burn
Thanks Brian! You're awesome ⚡
I will def try those out
I usually create my own workouts & really love doing the strength/anaerobic combo best.
Take 10-15 minues include 2-3 exercises that use opposing muscle groups using a weight 10 reps for, do about 5 reps of each exercise resting only as needed, see how many rounds you can do within that time frame. For example, one upper body pushing exercise such as chest press, push up or military press; one pulling exercise such as an inverted row or dumbbell row and a legs exercise such as squats, deadlifts or lunges. Keep track of the number of rounds completed within the timeframe and try to best it next time.
Other times I'll do tabata rounds with any given cardio type exercise such as rowing, kettlebell swings, stationary bike, elliptical, burpees, jumping jacks, push ups etc. Just go as hard as you can for 20 seconds, take a 10 second rest, continue for 8 rounds in total, 4 minutes. You can string 4-5 tabata rounds together using different types of exercises just make sure you rest between each round, maybe 1 -2 minutes.
Other times I'll just go for number of reps per exercise and/or time and do a small circuit. For example, tonight I went to the gym with no plan but knew I wanted to increase my heart rate so did 3 reps of 1-arm snatches with a lunge per side, 10 one-arm kettlebell swings per side, lateral bounding onto bosus 10 reps in total, 10 pushups with my hands on a bosu and 1 foot on a stability ball, 10 kettlebell renegade rows, and 10 bodyweight hip thrusts off a swiss ball with 1 foot raised arms extended and locked over my head. My heart rate was up at 160 bpm. I took a 1 minute rest between each round and went for 5 rounds.
Awesome! Thanks alison

Wye Dining Table
Wye Dining Table
American Sycamore and Walnut Veneer
The Wye table is a response to the need for a table that is equally attractive from all angles, is compatible with a wide range of chairs, works as well for formal dinner parties or casual breakfasts, and is light in weight, can be dismantled and is easy to move. The table top edges are multiple veneered prior to the pressing of the veneers to the main surfaces, thus combining the ability to obtain a soft rounded edge with the benefits of veneer – stability and control of grain pattern.
The Wye table was judged "Best Design" and "Best in Show" at the Victorian Woodworkers Association 2005 Annual Show.
Available in a range of sizes and in various combinations of timber veneer.
Timber and veneers are natural products, and a range of colour variations within each species is to be expected.
For some online purchases we are unable to specify what timbers are available at any one time as many of our products are made in a wide variety of timbers. In these cases please select your preference of light, medium or dark timber.
When checking out you can choose to be emailed images of available timber variations to choose from.
