The Lakers completed a furious rally on Wednesday night against the Hornets, as they erased a 25 point lead and held the Hornets to only nine fourth quarter points. Kobe Bryant led the way with 42 points and Dwight Howard dominated on the glass with 15 rebounds and on the defensive end with four blocked shots. After the game, Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register tweeted what Kobe and Steve Nash had to say about Dwight,
Kobe raved about Dwight deciding to dominate tonight and said it wasn't Dwight just following Kobe. Nash was "extremely proud" of Dwight.
— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) March 7, 2013
It is interesting to see Kobe give so much praise to Dwight, since Howard has been so nonchalant when talking about Kobe's spectacular play. Whether it was slapping hands or their play on the court, tonight was a glimpse of what Lakers fans hope to be years of Kobe and Dwight co-existing. Mike D'Antoni went onto say the plays between Kobe and Howard, "was what everyone envisioned it would be."
---- Check out this wallpaper of Dwight Howard, Laker big man and embracing the legacy! ----
All the losing and uncertainty that surrounds Dwight Howard on a daily basis has clearly taken a toll for the Lakers, so hopefully they have turned a corner. If Howard continues to dominate on the defensive end and play great pick and roll with Nash and Bryant, they'll have plenty more to be proud of Dwight come the end of the season.

Man charged in crash that killed boy, 4, pleads guilty
Cameron Peterson killed in August 2015 crash

Cameron Peterson killed in August 2015 crash
Michael Minson, of Gray, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to manslaughter for a crash that killed a 4-year-old boy last year.
Minson lost control of the car he was driving and slammed into a utility pole on Route 11 in Casco in August 2015.
Cameron Peterson was pronounced dead at the scene. His mother, Crystal Peterson, 27, suffered serious injuries in the crash.
A judge sentenced Minson to four-and-a-half years in prison.
Family members of Cameron said they were upset Minson showed no remorse and the sentence was not enough.
"We were expecting to put him on the bus this year, to watch him ride his bike without training wheels, to play baseball with his brother. Now Mike's going to do 4.5 years, and we're never going to have our lives back. We have been punished more for this than he has, and it's not fair," Cameron's aunt, Marissa Petersen, said.
Investigators said speed was a factor in the crash and Minson had just passed another vehicle prior to the accident.
Minson was convicted of driving without a license in 2007. His record also shows a list of contempt of court charges that led to suspensions over the last eight years.

Stefano Maltese and Open Sound Ensemble: Living AliveBy
This sextet works together extremely well, dancing at the boundaries of the jazz idiom as it is conventionally understood, freely experimenting with forms and harmonies without ever lapsing into grating or tiresome clichés. Maltese shows himself to be a composer to be reckoned with on these ensemble sections. But there's plenty of space for the soloists, as much of the album follows a rather conventional solo-turns format, although all the musicians comment at various points on the work of the soloist in action. Cilio, a highly evocative and multi-talented singer in the grand tradition of Maggie Nichols, Julie Tippett and Lauren Newton, is perhaps most effective in this supporting capacity, particularly when ensemble sections are being played out. She makes full use of the possibilities of the voice to communicate, from beautiful sung lines to abstract coloristic effects. Shilkloper has a gorgeous tone on both of his instruments, as does Domancich on piano, and both have a ! keenly developed melodic sensibility that leads them into a large number of delightful places. Maltese is somewhat more impassioned (as on his extended soprano solo on the opening and longest track, "Words - Two Colours") but never strays far from accessible melodicism. Rogers, meanwhile, is an extraordinary bassist whose work here is so consistently ear-catching as to make one long for him to do a solo album.
This is a good disc to give to someone who doubts the musical possibilities of "free" improvised music. An unerringly pleasant and uniformly well-executed feast of fine music.
Stefano Maltese; Soprano & Alto Saxes; Bass Clarinet: Arkady Shilkloper; French Horn; Flugelhorn: Sophia Domancich; Piano: Paul Rogers; 5-String Bass: Antonio Moncada; Drums & Percussion: Gioconda Cilio; Voice, Percussion.

Embezzlement probe at association ongoing Former Illinois executive director under investigation
By Daniel Gelinas
Updated Thu October 28, 2010
WEST ALLIS, Wis.—Marsha Kopan, former executive director of the Illinois Electronic Security Association, is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation that began when the West Allis Police arrested her on Sept. 24.
Police brought Kopan in on check fraud and forgery charges stemming from work she did with a non-security association. Upon further investigation into Kopan's business ties, authorities contacted the IESA, and suggested they take a look at their accounts. Kopan's paper and hard drive records were seized for the investigation and she was interviewed and subsequently released, according to Detective Jeff Nohelty of the West Allis Criminal Investigation Department.
"There's not much information I can release right now. As far as we can tell, she acted alone. She hasn't been officially charged yet by the DA," Nohelty said. "The DA's office has been brought in, but we just have a lot to go through and get done before we know what she'll be officially charged with." Nohelty said Kopan was cooperating with the investigation.
Kopan owns third-party management services company, Executive Secretarial Services, based here. According to Kopan's LinkedIn page, she had been the executive director of the IESA for 10 years. DMC Security's Chet Donati, who is president of the IESA, said Kopan did accounting work for IESA as well as at least two other, non-security-related associations, the United States Society for Ecological Economics, and the International Society for Ecological Economics.
Security Systems News called Kopan, who said she did not want to comment on the allegations.
Police say the investigation, which involves companies based in various states, as well as companies with international dealings, could escalate. "Depending on how big this gets—I mean, if all of a sudden it's more money than we thought—maybe the feds will want to look at it," Nohelty said. "That will be determined as this investigation continues." Nohelty said he hopes to be ready for a meeting with assistant District Attorney Kurt Bentley some time in early November.
Donati said the important thing now was to focus on association business and press on. "This is something that was totally unforeseen. I've always had the good of our association foremost in my mind and the bottom line is that we've just got to move ahead," Donati said. "We'll get past it, and we may even be better for it—who knows?"
Emergency 24 public relations manager Kevin Lehan has taken over executive director duties for the IESA. "It's just business as usual right now," Lehan said. Emergency 24 is also handling all website-related activities for the IESA, duties which used to be handled by Kopan.
Security Systems News continues to report on this story.

HELENA — Greg Gianforte was sworn in as Montana's 25th governor in Helena on Monday morning.
Before winning the governor's office, Gianforte represented Montana in the U.S. House and co-founded a successful software development company in Bozeman.
Gianforte ran on his business experience and said he will use those skills to boost the state economy and its historically low wages. He told MTN his top priority will be helping Montanans and the state's economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last week he said he expects to announce new guidelines for fighting the coronavirus and indicated he could relax some of the restrictions put in place by the previous administration this week.
Gianforte is Montana's first Republican governor in 16 years and has strong GOP majorities in the Montana House and Senate.
When asked about legislative priorities, Gianforte said he'll be focused on his Montana "comeback plan," a 12-page outline of wide-ranging policies that emphasize business development in the state and fiscal and social conservatism.

ATLANTA – Finally, with 23 seconds left, Tom Crean put his hands up and he pulled back the reigns. Finally, doing the math in his head, he realized there was no point in fouling any more, no point in extending the game any longer. His Indiana Hoosiers had already beaten Kentucky once this year.
There isn't a team in the country good enough to do it twice.
So as Marquis Teague dribbled out the rest of the game, the roar began to rise from every corner of Georgia Dome. They'd transformed this courtly patch of Georgia into a Heartland border war, Kentucky blue against Indiana red, and for the most part the Hoosiers fans had held up their end and held up their voices.
Now, all you saw was blue.
Now, all you heard was shouts of "U! K!" and "Let's go Wildcats!" as a 35th victory in 37 games became real, became official. The final was 102-90, and it was a fun game, as entertaining as any we'd seen so far in this NCAA tournament from a purely basketball standpoint.
For a half, Indiana had helped co-author story. They'd run even with Kentucky for most of the way, even grabbed a four-point lead in the waning minutes, settled for a three-point deficit, 50-47.
But it's one thing to play with the Wildcats for a half.
It's something else to do it for 40 minutes, to try and match this talent, this tenacity, this team that starts three freshmen and two sophomores, this basketball factory where the very best now come to play for John Calipari, who may not be the most popular coach in America but sure knows how to collect players, then coach the hell out of them.
"We did a lot of good things but they're a very good tem and [ital] very [ital] well coached," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "It's one thing to have talent. It's another thing altogether to get them to play the way they play."
There was actually a lot going against the Wildcats last night. For one thing, there is a 37-year grudge that Indiana badly wanted to avenge. The 1975 Hoosiers were undefeated when they met Kentucky in the Midwest Regionals that year, and Bob Knight has long insisted that was the better team than the one that went 33-0 and won the title a year later. But Scott May was hurt and the Wildcats won, a loss so bitter many in Indiana still can't talk about it.
And the Hoosiers were one of only two teams to beat Kentucky this year, by a point in Bloomington back in December. So they [ital] had [ital] done it before.
But what Kentucky is proving, game after game, is that they are more than talent, they're a team. On a night when Anthony Davis was plagued with early foul trouble they simply passed the baton to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (24 points, 10 rebounds), Doron Lamb (21 points) and Teague (14 points, seven assists).
And, oh yes. From the line. Thirty-seven attempts. Thirty-five makes.
You want to beat the best team in the nation? You'd better come hard, better play well, better be ready to go for the full 40. Indiana did all of that. And still lost by 12.
"It was a war, and Indiana played great," Calipari said. "But we played a little bit better."
Good luck to Baylor tomorrow. And to everyone else next week in New Orleans.

I write to point out that the present Dalai Lama recognised H.H. Khalkha Jetsun Dampa Rinpoche in the early 1990s as the reincarnation of the previous Buddhist ruler of Mongolia and assisted in the establishment of his monastery, Tak Ten House, near Dharamsala.
On a recent visit to Mongolia HH. Khalkha Jetsun Dampa was received very enthusiastically by thousands of Mongolians (some of whom deliberately hid his passport in order to delay his departure).
Therefore there is a legitimate and respected "central figure of authority" in waiting as it were.

Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has been appointed as the new manager of French Ligue 1 side Nice.
The ex-Manchester City, Inter Milan and Juventus midfielder was in his third season as head coach of New York City.
The 41-year-old had been tipped to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal before the appointment of Unai Emery.
"Leaving New York is an incredibly difficult decision for me and my family and one that has not been taken lightly," said Vieira.
Nice finished eighth in Ligue 1 last season, missing out on a Europa League place by one point.
Vieira takes over from Lucien Favre, who was appointed Borussia Dortmund coach in May.
Assistant coach Christian Lattanzio, performance coach Kristian Wilson and physical performance coach Matt Cook have also left New York to join Vieira at Nice.
World Cup winner Vieira retired at Manchester City aged 35 in 2011 and was named a football development executive with the Premier League club.
In 2015, Vieira left his role as head coach of Manchester City's Under-21s after signing a three-year contract with New York City.
The Major League Soccer side are part of the City Football Group founded by Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour.

It's actually the romance from hell -- which makes it so much more interesting.
"2 Days in Paris" may seem familiar, with its manic, walking-and-talking rhythms reminiscent of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in the 1970s. But you never know where it's going, which is one of the film's greatest pleasures.
The other is the longtime actress' way with dialogue -- it's raw and real, bitingly funny and blissfully unsentimental. She was, after all, nominated for an Oscar alongside Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater for writing "Before Sunset." Here, she explores the complexities of male-female relationships again with a couple that's at their make-or-break point after two years.
Delpy is radiantly lovely as Marion, a ditzy Parisian photographer who brings her longtime boyfriend, Jack (Adam Goldberg), a neurotic interior designer, home to see her parents for a couple of days on the way back to New York from a European vacation. (Delpy's parents, actors Marie Pillet and Albert Delpy, play her mom and dad.)
Everything slowly, painfully goes wrong, from the way her cramped apartment smells to the language barrier that isolates Jack to the old boyfriends of Marion's they run into, who serve as a simmering source of jealousy and insecurity.
Through small details in the things they say and the way they react to one another, you learn so much about these people in an incredibly short amount of time. Jack and Marion may feel like types you think you know -- he's freaked out about germs and his sexual performance, she's blithely easygoing in nearly every situation -- but they're surprisingly well fleshed-out. Delpy wrote the role of Jack for Goldberg, an off-screen ex-boyfriend, and the two bounce off each other effortlessly.
After arriving by train (and purposely giving the wrong directions to a group of overfed American tourists), Jack follows Marion home to meet her wacky folks, Anna and Jeannot, who barely speak English and serve up a rabbit lunch that leaves Jack appalled. Then it's off to a shocking exhibit at dad's art gallery, followed by a party that makes Jack wonder just how many men in the room Marion has slept with.
Except for her blowup at a racist taxi driver, all these scenes play out with a deadpan absurdity. Clearly, Allen's sense of humor is a source of inspiration here but Delpy also seems to draw just as much from Larry David and the straightforward, often cringe-inducing misery of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
The film can feel a bit scattered; it was shot in four weeks, often in guerrilla style, on the streets of Paris. But it is a grittier side of the city than you ordinarily see on screen, which is refreshing. Unlike "Paris Je T'aime," it won't inspire you to call your travel agent to book a trip anytime soon. ��� Rated R (for sexual content, some nudity and language) Running time: 96 minutes.
'2 Days in Paris' is darkly funny
It's actually the romance from hell -- which makes it so much more interesting.

So this week, your underwear have less holes in them and you may be asked out on a date to end your dry spell. However, you won't know for sure until you've had your fortune told by the one and only Hottywood!
Below are Hottywood's cookie fortunes, as revealed by the moon and the sun, in addition to the itch on the bottom of his foot.
Take heed. Knowledge is power.
December 22 – January 19
If crap was money, you'd be rich! You're going to be full of two things this week: Sh*t and drama. It's time to suit up, champ…it's going to be a tough week.
January 20 – February 18
You're going to have Athlete's Foot in your left armpit. The worst part is you're going to spend the rest of the week trying to figure out how the hell this is possible.
February 19 – March 20
Your farts will take on a personality of their own, much like Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde.
March 21 – April 19
All of your breakfasts will taste like strained corn chips. Try washing your mouth out with soap or brushing your teeth for a change.
April 20 – May 20
You have something special to smile about; your deodorant hasn't given out on you – yet. Things are looking up.
May 21 – June 20
The only answer you can muster up to anyone's question is, "Because I said so, biatch." Watch your back. Someone's going to whoop your ass.
June 21 – July 22

If anyone asks you what that thing is on your lip, just tell them you were stung by a mutant bumble bee. Your secret's safe with me. o_~
October 23 – November 21
I would only order shrimp when eating out, if I were you. Any other kind of meat may not be exactly what you expect it to be. However, the food poisoning could equal some days out of work.

Life would be so different if you'd have only made the right decision when you had the chance.

Peek behind bars: Inmate art show depicts life on death row
LOS ANGELES - Ndume Olatushani jokes that he "couldn't even draw a crooked line straight" when he arrived on death row almost 30 years ago.
He had plenty of time to learn, though, being locked in a cell up to 22 hours a day for 28 years.
Now, one of the paintings by Olatushani, who was freed in 2012 after a judge overturned his murder conviction, is the centerpiece of a Los Angeles exhibition titled "Windows on Death Row: Art From Inside and Outside the Prison Walls."
Featuring dozens of pieces from more than 20 artists in styles ranging from oil on canvas to pencil on paper, the show seeks to depict the lives, thoughts and emotions of those preparing to be executed.
The exhibition's organizers, political cartoonist Patrick Chappatte and his wife, Swiss broadcast journalist Anne-Frederique Widmann, hope it will help advance international discussion about the death penalty.
The show opened Thursday at the University of Southern California and will remain on the second-floor mezzanine of the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism building until Dec. 18. After that, it will travel next year to Switzerland's International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights and then to Ohio State University.
Olatushani, whose dark, emotionally riveting oil on canvas depicts African women and their children searching for food, hopes the show also will help change the perception of death row inmates. Not all are innocent as he was, he says, but not all are monsters either.
"The truth is they're really not," he said as he surveyed the works earlier this week. "Most people sitting on death row now are there because, in an instant, they murdered somebody in the heat of passion."
Or in the case of Kenneth Reams, for taking part in a robbery that ended with his partner shooting the victim.
Confident he wouldn't be sentenced to even life in prison because he didn't kill anybody, Reams said he rejected a plea bargain 22 years ago and took his chances at trial. At age 18, he ended up the youngest person on Arkansas' death row.
It was there he began to draw and paint, and he uses those skills to educate others about death row and its consequences, Reams said in a brief phone interview from prison.
"I think my art already has had an effect on young people to not make the same mistakes," said Reams, whose pencil-and-paper work "The Last Mile" depicts the path to his prison's death chamber.
Chappatte and Widmann say the show doesn't try to take a side in the debate over capital punishment, although it's clear they don't believe it is fairly administered.
"A lot of inmates have been telling us you can find black, yellow and white people on death row," Widmann says, "but you can't find any rich people."
Still, the organizers don't shy away from describing what each artist did to reach death row. The often brutal crimes are listed in the biographical notes placed alongside their artworks.
The show also includes dozens of drawings expressing opinions on capital punishment from Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonists such as David Horsey, Pat Oliphant and Signe Wilkinson.
But the most powerful pieces come from those condemned to die.
One of the darkest is a pencil-on-paper drawing by Karl Roberts, who was convicted of raping and killing his 12-year-old niece. It shows the artist on his knees in solitary confinement as the ghostly image of a young girl hovers over him.
"It portrays the shame, remorse and guilt of having done wrong," he says in notes written for the show.
On the other end of the spectrum is a lighthearted series of comic-strip drawings by George Ivan Lopez, who is on Pennsylvania's death row for two killings. One, titled "This is What We Think of on Death Row," depicts a couple of cartoon characters in prison garb tunneling their way to freedom.
The show features a self-portrait from Arnold Prieto, who stabbed three people to death with two accomplices during a 1993 robbery in Texas.
Prieto, the only one to receive a death sentence, said he took up art to earn a little money through the sale of his work. One of his last pieces, done in graphite on board, shows the artist, his head buried in his hands as a clock ticks down to his final minutes.
Prieto was executed in January.
"I guess my drawings speak for themselves," he said in notes written for the show. "They'll be here when I'm no more."

NHRC issues notice over electrocution of a girl leading to amputation of hands
| Updated: Jul 21, 2016 17:54 IST
New Delhi, July 21 (ANI): The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report that both the hands of a ten-year-old girl had to be amputated at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital following severe burn injuries due to shock from a high voltage electricity line passing over the roof top of her house in village Mirzapur of Rabupura area of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The incident happened on the July 7, when she accidently touched the 11 KV high voltage line while playing with other children. The Commission has noted that in the reported incident, the State administration as well as the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited cannot escape their responsibility for not ensuring that such a high voltage line should not have passed through the residential areas at a height that even a child could touch it. Such inaction by the concerned authorities amounts to violation of Right to Life and Safety of the people. Accordingly, it has issued a notice to the District Magistrate Gautam Budh Nagar and the Chairman Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited calling for a detail report in a matter within four weeks. They are also expected to inform about the steps being taken to avoid such incident in the future. The Commission has also observed that it has come across many such cases where due to the negligence of the authorities, people were electrocuted. Registration of a criminal case, fixing responsibility of the guilty and granting monetary relief to the victim would not alone compensate the loss in every case. It is imperative for the authorities to have a sensible approach to avoid occurrence of such horrific incidents. (ANI)

GoPro's clearly in a tight spot just now, a reality exposed by troubling financial data for 2015's final quarter and its decision to slash its camera lineup.
To try to get the company back on track, GoPro said this spring it'll cut from its lineup the Hero+ LCD ($300), Hero+ ($200), and Hero ($130) cameras, leaving on sale the Hero 4 Black ($500), Hero 4 Silver ($400), and Hero 4 Session ($200). The new flagship model – the Hero 5 – is set to debut some time this year.
As for those figures, the maker of the popular actions cameras generated $437 million in revenue in 2015's final quarter, a figure below analysts' forecasts and $197 million down from what it generated for the same three-month period a year earlier. More worryingly, the company said it expects revenue for the current quarter to reach no more than $180 million, much lower than the $298 million originally forecast.
Profits for the last quarter came in at $128 million, less than half of what it reported a year ago. On a more positive note, the company said it shipped 6.6 million cameras during the whole of 2015, an increase of 27 percent on 2014.
The ropey figures aren't too much of a surprise. Last month the California-based company warned investors of disappointing sales figures, and also announced it was laying off 7 percent of its workforce, equal to around 100 jobs.
The move followed trouble in the latter half of 2015 when GoPro was forced to cut the price of its smaller Session camera not once but twice. Its $400 launch price was clearly beyond what customers were prepared to pay – if the demand for the diminutive device was even there in the first place – forcing the company to reduce it in two steps to $200 in a bid to tempt Christmas shoppers.
Responding to the fourth-quarter data, GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman said in a release his company must "recognize the need to develop software solutions that make it easier for our customers to offload, access and edit their GoPro content." Its other challenge is to reach out beyond its core user base, an increasingly urgent necessity that's clearly proving tough for the company.
Wisely, it's already exploring other revenue possibilities linked to its cameras, including a remotely operated copter that's expected to hit stores this year. Of course, the drone market is already hugely competitive, so GoPro will have its work cut out, but if it can offer a decent camera-equipped flying machine at an attractive price then the future could be rosy.

BMW's post-war recovery was somewhat rocky, and by the mid-1950s, their product line was a disjointed mix of luxurious but dated sedans, the luscious but money-losing 507 sports car, and the tiny single-cylinder Isetta microcar. BMW had new models such as the 700 and 1500 on the drawing board but lacked the funds to develop them. Daimler-Benz approached the board with a takeover proposal, which came perilously close to approval, and if not for the influential board member Herbert Quandt having a change of heart before the vote, the deal would have surely gone through. Quandt considered the interest of the workers in the assembly plants and decided it was worth the financial risk to save BMW. Once in control of the company, he began investing heavily in the product line, first introducing the new two-cylinder 700 coupe and 700 LS sedan. The 700 was a critical bridge from the Isetta to a line of larger, more modern family sedans and it put BMW on more stable financial footing.
Next to get the green light was the 1500 "Neue Klasse," which is arguably the single most important model in BMW's 100-plus year history. The Neue Klasse was designed from the ground-up to sustain BMW for many years, and it succeeded in transforming the company's fortunes. Based on a new monocoque four-door body shell, the 1500 had independent suspension all around with McPherson struts in front and trailing arms in the rear. The engine was also new: A superb inline-four with single-overhead-cam, hemispherical combustion chambers, and a stout cast-iron block. Some early 1500 models had teething problems, but by 1964, the vastly improved 1600 solved most of those issues, and sales climbed steadily. The stylish 2000C coupe joined the line in 1965, and in 1966 the 1600-2 (later 1602) two-door saloon was introduced. The two-door "02 series" as it would become known, was the sportiest of the standard line, with engines of up to two liters, and performance options such as twin carburetors (from 1968) and mechanical fuel injection (from 1971).
If the Neue Klasse was the most important car in BMW's history, the 2002 was possibly the most crucial model of the Neue Klasse. Before its introduction in 1968, BMW's involvement in the US market was minimal. But the 2002 was an instant cult-classic, transforming BMW's image thanks to superb handling and exceptional build quality – all at a reasonable price. Before long, its European racing heritage spilled over to US shores, and 2002s were tackling everything from club-level gymkhanas to SCCA Trans-Am. The 2002 established BMW's reputation in the US, paved the way for larger, more luxurious six-cylinder sedans and coupes, and served as the blueprint for the 3-series, which remains the benchmark to which all other sports sedans are measured.
This 1972 2002 is recently out of long-term, single-family ownership and is a beautiful, largely original car presented in Agave over a saddle-brown interior. The history file includes the German temporary registration, indicating it was collected new at the factory under the European delivery program. The first owner, Mr. Phillip Gearhart, owned the car from 1972 through 1986, then transferred ownership to his son-in-law from Pennsylvania, who owned it through 2019. Along the way, this desirable round-taillight 2002 was well maintained and kept in remarkably original condition. It has never been fully restored; instead, it has had a light cosmetic freshening, including one respray in the factory shade of Agave green. The body is respectably straight, with a couple of minor imperfections noted from use and storage. The paintwork is also quite good, with a glossy finish and consistent quality. It appears some minor bodywork was performed before painting, and the original finish is preserved in the engine bay and on the underside of the car. Critically, the unibody shell is very solid with no signs of repairs on the floors, boot floor, sills, chassis legs, and other critical structural areas. The bright alloy trim and bumpers are in good condition, and the car rides on the original 13" steel wheels with factory-correct stainless wheel covers.
The saddle interior is remarkably untouched and well-preserved, with basketweave-pattern vinyl upholstery in excellent condition on the front and rear seats. Door panels are outstanding originals, and the dash is free of cracks and in superb condition. Correct original VDO gauges work as they should, and the switches are all in good order. Loop carpeting and the original headlining are both in outstanding condition. It is refreshingly correct inside, down to the original steering wheel and nearly unworn black plastic shift knob.
BMW's legendary M10 is one of the greatest four-cylinder engines of all time. Torquey and full of character, the virtually-bulletproof bottom end made it an ideal candidate for tuning and racing. This car retains its original numbers-matching 2-liter block, mated to a Getrag four-speed manual gearbox. It breathes through a correct single Solex carburetor, with the proper air cleaner, and factory cast iron exhaust manifold. It runs quite well, feeling eager through the whole rev range, propelling the lightweight 2002 along with ease. The unassisted steering is light and the handling surefooted, thanks to modern radial tires on the 13-inch wheels. Gear changes are positive and precise thanks to a recently rebuilt shift lever. Sporty, yet composed and comfortable, the 2002 is an eager companion for carving up twisty roads, and equally happy to cruise along at 70+ mph.
With cult-classic status, many 2002s have lived hard lives or have been modified beyond recognition. This desirable "roundie" is refreshingly faithful to factory specifications and has enjoyed a pampered life, remaining incredibly sound and original. It is the perfect choice for entry into The Vintage or any number of BMW CCCA club events and is sure to bring many miles of joy to its next owner.

The first planes carrying Team USA touched down around 8:20 a.m. They were followed almost immediately by more planes. Throughout the day, more than 275 Cessna planes landed, carrying members of Team USA in the fourth annualCessna Citation Special Olympics Airlift. The effort is being called the largest peacetime airlift in the world.
The athletes were greeted on the tarmac as soon as the planes landed -- every two to three minutes for between nine and 10 hours. The average number of takeoffs and landings at RDU is 850; Friday, there was more than 1,400.
"If you consider the fact that we've got 520 commercial flights in and out, plus our normal private air traffic, and then add the Citation [Airlift] traffic on top of it, the skies above RDU will be very busy today," says airport spokesman Mike Blanton.
As a result, air traffic was being tightly controlled. "The FAA has gone to a reservations-only system today, which means that unless other pilots wanting to fly in and out of RDU have a reservation, they will not be allowed to land today," Blanton says.
A specialFAAtrailer was set up to coordinate with the control tower, and make sure everything ran smoothly.
By looking at a computer screen, FAA officials were able to "see how many airplanes we have inbound to the airport, how many airplanes we have scheduled to go outbound to the airport, and we can adjust the flow of those airplanes," says Preston Williams, an air traffic control manager.
More than 250 companiesfrom 40 states have donated planes, manpower and fuel to bring in Team USA. Team members are coming from30 statesand many of them had never even been on an airplane before.
From the airport, Special Olympics athletes headed to dozens of host towns, where they are getting ready for the games, which start Saturday with Opening Ceremonies.
You can watch the Opening Ceremonies live on WRAL-TV, the official television station of the World Games. WRAL OnLine will also offer a live Webcast of the event, beginning at 7 p.m.
The World Games end July 4.

Zowie Gear has now announced the availability of their 'G-TF Speed' mousepad version of the original G-TF Spawn mousepad that had been launched almost two years back. The newer pad will not replace the original G-TF, but had been tailored after many requests by the consumer market for a faster pad. The surface is as last time, waterproof as well as packing what a gamer wants and needs. Comfort. Flexibility. And Performance.
On August 17th 2009, we announced the innovative G-TF mousepad which we had developed in cooperation with Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed. As a groundbreaking addition to the mousepad market, the G-TF provided competitive gamers around the world with the edge they needed to stay on top of their game.
The G-TF combined flexibility, comfort and size of the clothpads with the unique texture of plasticpads, resulting in a unique mousepad with a large and comfortable mousing-area as well as low friction allowing for swift and precise movements. To increase the overall durability and quality of the mousepad, the G-TF was created using 100% natural rubber and the edges were stitched to prevent them from fraying – all of these features were unique and specifically developed for the G-TF.
Amazed by the outstanding performance of the G-TF, this clothpad was soon to become the preferred mousepad of many competitive and casual gamers around the world. Today the G-TF is a sure sight at all of the competitive LAN's and tournaments worldwide.
With that being said, we are happy to introduce the G-TF speed, yet another innovative addition to the ZOWIE GEAR product portfolio.
First things first. The G-TF speed will not replace the G-TF. We have been receiving a lot of requests to develop a surface which was faster than the G-TF and took up the challenge. Due to the popularity of the G-TF, we decided to use the same unique waterproof texture in the G-TF speed and improve on specific details.
Not only is the G-TF speed faster than the G-TF, it also have a newly developed unique base, which allows for a firm flat suction to the table and makes the mousepad thinner, making it ideal for gamers who has been using plasticpads and are now looking for something a bit more flexible. The G-TF speed is for those gamers who want it all – comfort, flexibility and swift performance.
Staying true to our motto, we are always striving for perfection, even if it's a matter of improvement of just 1%. We believe this 1% is what makes the difference in competitive gaming.
The G-TF speed will be available medio 2011.
* The speed edition of the popular G-TF – faster than ever
* Newly designed rubber base for increased stability
* Liquid resistant surface allows for easy maintenance
* Triple-stitched edges preventing fray and increases the lifetime of the pad
* Rolled edges for added comfort while playing
* 100% compatible with all types of mice
* Perfectly oversized for gamers & designers: 440 x 320 x 2 mm / 17.3 x 12.6 x 0.08 inch

• Secret deal places no legal limits on use of data by Israelis...
...The National Security Agency routinely shares raw intelligence data with Israel without first sifting it to remove information about US citizens, a top-secret document provided to the Guardian by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals.
Details of the intelligence-sharing agreement are laid out in a memorandum of understanding between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart that shows the US government handed over intercepted communications likely to contain phone calls and emails of American citizens. The agreement places no legally binding limits on the use of the data by the Israelis.
reply to post by MindBodySpiritComplex
Oh please they've been spying on the USA since before 9/11
Nothing new folks. And if anything they are probably giving us stuff we don't know.edit on 11-9-2013 by grey580 because: (no reason given)
If people know israelis and the IT businesses that exist in israel, along with a lot other reasons, this is no surprise.
What I don't understand is the blind support on mainstream media comments stating "I stand by Israel" or something along those lines.. Why stand for anyone but yourself and family?
shares raw intelligence data with Israel without first sifting it to remove information about US citizens
This is quite interesting.
Although I agree with most of the posters shining a light on the fact many of the telecommunication companies intricately tied into our American system are Israeli based, and so Israel already has a back door into many of our communications and metadata, I would not be surprised if they had the NSA at their disposal, as well, for multiple reasons.
The economic motive is always a popular one, and it's true they are using the illegally collected data to engage in insider trading. But I can't help but believe more than anything this data mining is being used to control and manipulate people, blackmail if you will, so that a certain agenda is ensured.

In an effort to make its services more timely and relevant, the federally supported What Works Clearinghouse has launched a series of "quick reviews" to assess the methodological soundness of studies that have made national news.
"There are all kinds of studies coming out daily that are cutting-edge," said Mark Dynarski, who directs the clearinghouse, which is based at Mathematica Policy Research Inc. in Princeton, N.J. "The idea is whether the clearinghouse can help the public in determining whether studies are well crafted, if they use sound methods and make good inferences."
Created in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences, the online clearinghouse vets the research base for programs, practices, or policies that educators might try out in their own jurisdictions. But the first reviews were slow in coming, and few studies met the clearinghouse's strict evidence standards, leading some critics to dub the project the "nothing works" clearinghouse.
The clearinghouse plans to post the new quick reviews, in contrast, within a month of a study's public release. The turnaround time is faster because reviewers are evaluating a single study, rather than a body of research.
The first five reviews, posted online starting late last month, give mixed assessments of recent studies on after-school programs, a student-athlete drug testing program, a cash-incentive program for teachers and students of Advanced Placement courses, a computer-based program for teaching algebra, and on whether 6th graders are better off in middle schools or elementary schools.
Some of the reports are already drawing sharp criticism from study authors.
Research Into Practice: The Push For Usability
This four-part series examines the movement to make education research more "usable" and explores some efforts to connect the worlds of research and practice.
"This is all politics. I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart," said Dr. Linn Goldberg, a professor of medicine at Oregon Health and Science University, in Portland. Clearinghouse reviewers determined that the study Dr. Goldberg led on school-based drug testing for student-athletes was "not consistent with WWC evidence standards" —the lowest of three possible ratings.
The other rating choices are "consistent with WWC evidence standards" and "consistent with WWC evidence standards with reservations."
Tough Standards
In the study, published in November in the peer-reviewed Journal of Adolescent Health, Dr. Goldberg and his colleagues evaluated the effects of a drug-testing program in which high school student-athletes were randomly selected for unannounced tests for alcohol and drug use.
After two years, the researchers found, students taking part in the testing were no less likely than their control-group counterparts to be using prohibited substances. Dr. Goldberg said the findings, which were widely reported in the press in February, run counter to the Bush administration's stance favoring such programs.
In their review, What Works Clearinghouse analysts said the findings were inconclusive, in part, because of the high attrition rates among the schools and students involved. Seven of the 18 schools that signed up for the study dropped out, according to the clearinghouse's report. In addition, 29 percent of students in the drug-testing program and 19 percent of the control-group students failed to return final surveys.
However, Dr. Goldberg said that the schools withdrew before the drug-testing programs began in any school, and that they did so in response to a threatened lawsuit. Final student data are missing, Dr. Goldberg added, because students either graduated or quit their teams the next year.
"It's natural attrition," he said, "and it's much lower than we expected."
For his part, Mr. Dynarski of the What Works Clearinghouse denied that the study was selected to serve as a political target. He said reviewers chose it because it was published within the time frame the clearinghouse had set for its first round of reviews. Although federal education officials can refer studies to the clearinghouse under the new "quick review" guidelines, none of the studies in the first round came to the clearinghouse by that route, he added.
"Attrition is a legitimate concern," Mr. Dynarski said. "Clearinghouse standards pay a lot of attention to attrition, and here there is a 10-percentage-point difference between the control and experimental groups."
The clearinghouse also gives a "not consistent" rating to an eight-state study of 35 high-quality after-school programs that was first reported in Education Week last November. ("High-Quality After-School Programs Tied to Test-Score Gains," Nov. 28, 2007.) Deborah Lowe Vandell, the study's lead author and the chairwoman of the education department at the University of California, Irvine, said the reviewers' determination was not surprising, given the narrow range of study designs that pass the clearinghouse's evidence screens.
"A clinical trial [one of the designs that pass muster] is an important standard, but it represents only one type of research evidence," she said.
Clearinghouse reviewers gave a "consistent" rating to a randomized study that found positive academic effects for students using SimCalc Mathworlds, a software program for teaching algebra concepts. Two other studies—one on a Texas effort to give cash bonuses to students and teachers for high scores on AP tests and the other on the effects of teaching 6th graders in middle schools—were rated "consistent with WWC evidence standards with reservations."

With the technology becoming more affordable and accessible, more and more people have started using it extensively. The use of cameras and camcorders to capture almost every event and tour that one takes is next to a necessity today. With so much of data being created external hard drives are great solutions. Even among them the 1TB external hard drive is probably the best solution available today.
There are many benefits of using 1tb portable external hard drive. The foremost advantage is that the rest of the computer can be reused without having to overhaul the entire system. Most times people have the latest and the best software to store pictures and view them on their computers, what they lack is just sufficient space to store them. In such cases, having to get a new computer with extra storage is expensive; an external hard disk drive is economical.
The other benefit of external hard disk drives is that they can be carried around anywhere to view the pictures and other content. So as long as the other location has a computer, all you really need is the hard drive. Carry the device and you are carrying all the information you need to.
There are two different types of these devices. The first category requires a separate power source to function. Typically, given its dependency on external power source, it is not very portable. If you need to carry it around, you need to carry the power cords and the rest of the accessories too.
The second variation is the portable one. This one is typically connected and powered by a USB cable. Certain variations have a power only USB cord and a data cord while some have a single USB cord for both power and data. These are truly portable and can be carried along anywhere. All you need is the shot USB cord and the small hard drive.
Given the technical complications and the smaller foot print of the portable hard drives, 1TB capacity was first introduced in the former category. However, today finding 1TB external portable hard disk drives is not uncommon. The portable hard drives remain more expensive than the external hard drives though. For some people the cost may be a deterrent while for others the very fact that you can carry your information with you always is a good enough reason to put in that extra money.
The 1TB capacity is a very large one and can be used for various reasons. Some people use it to store pictures and short personal videos. These drives can hold a lot of such data in them. Alternatively, these drives can become the ideal backups for all kinds of data stored on the computer. So if due to any reason the computer crashes, the data is not lost.
In conclusion, the 1TB external storage device is truly a great storage option. They are used in commercial deployments, but with increased information creation by general public, there are fast becoming the ultimate home storage devices too. Regardless of whether you go for externally powered or the portable ones, you are making a good investment in these devices for sure.

MBSR, or Mindfulness-based stress reduction, is a program that teaches you how to calm both your body and mind in order to better cope with stress, pain, and illness. The system was developed under the leadership of Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn with the creation of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Many who practice mindfulness-based stress reduction use a meditation timer or chime to remind them periodically throughout the day to breathe deeply, take a break, or whatever they find helpful.
"Mindfulness" itself is the practice of focusing only on what is occurring at that moment. It isn't a time for "zoning out", but is instead a time to become more aware of your emotions, thoughts, and surroundings as well as how your body is feeling. You might sit quietly and focus solely on your emotions or thoughts, or you may focus on the sounds and smells around you. Mindfulness is doing a single thing and closely focusing on that, and only that, particular thing. Mindfulness is something akin to walking meditation, where you aren't "tuned out"; simply focused very specific things.
MBSR training involves workshops, home practice, and a retreat session
MBSR programs are typically an eight-week workshop which entails at least one two-hour class per week, a day-long retreat at around the 6- or 7-week mark, and formal home practice. Home practice generally constitutes at least 45 minutes each day, at least 6 days per week. Programs also teach three formal techniques; body scanning, simple yoga techniques, and mindfulness meditation. During the first 4 weeks, the first prolonged formal technique taught is usually body scanning.
Body scanning is lying quietly and focusing on various regions parts of your body beginning with the toes and continuing up to the head. As you do this, you begin to notice small differences. You may note areas where you are tense or feel pain, how your stomach rises as you breathe, or how muscles shift as you adjust your position.
MBSR teaches acceptance of thoughts
MBSR also teaches you to focus on distractions and thoughts that cross your mind without judging them. For example, as you focus, your mind might shift to a thought about your job. Rather than worry about that thought you will learn to simply note it and return your attention to the present rather than dwelling on it.
Non-striving, non-judging, acceptance, and letting go, beginner's mind, patience, acceptance, trust, and non-centering are the tenets of MBSR. These types of programs may vary in detail, but they have helped millions of people reduce their stress levels and achieve happier and healthier lives.

Rick Ross' listening session for "Deeper Than Rap" was held last night at Artistry and the drinks and music flowed freely. I don't really follow that whole Rick Ross/50 Cent thing so I decided to chill on the interview tip and let the other sites take care of that. I did however catch up with Killer Mike and Rocko, who both kept me more than entertained throughout the evening! We ended up turning the session into an ATL lovefest 😆
Check out my video footage from the event below:

This week, I couldn't choose just one portrait of my bebes to feature. These came from a little photo session I did on my own this week (you can see the rest of the photos HERE), and these two just captured the sweetness of Mia and her little brother/sister so well. The baby isn't even here yet and already he/she is closely bonded to his/her big sister. I can't wait to see them interact in person but we all have {Read More}
Mia: "I love you, shish (fish) tank." She loves everything, these days. From her toys, waffles, cashews, the dogs, her books, my baby bump, my hair, her baths, her school, her "Mama" and "Daddy-O"…she loves it all and expresses her love on the daily. If I ever say, "I love ___", she always follows up with "Me too!" (no matter what the item). She's such a little affectionate being, it's the sweetest thing to be around. She tells me all {Read More}
Mia: So I tried to take the below photo of myself while Mia was awake and enjoying some cartoons on the couch. I had almost wrapped up my little session when she came wandering over to see what I was doing. At first, she was a little bothered that I was using her rug that belongs in her room. Then, she asked me to put her "Elsa Anna Dress" on her. (Side note: Speaking of Elsa and Anna, Mia never {Read More}
Mia: My little nature bug is taking in the scenery, overlooking Snow Canyon on our trip in Utah over the weekend. We made our very first trip there to visit my parents since they had moved there a little less than a month ago. I posted about our trip (full of photos, too) HERE. Oh my, was this place beautiful. The hike started off rocky (no pun intended), but this kid ended up loving it as much as the rest {Read More}
Mia & Baby: Yeah, I know I'm cheating a little here. Not only is this an image from my Instagram feed and taken with my phone, but it's a "twofer". Two kids in one (which I actually really like and want to try capture more). This week was uneventful in the picture taking department, mainly because Mia was sick. She stayed home from school with me all week. She's getting a much needed bath, enjoying the warmth of the water {Read More}
Mia: Such a little ham. As a parent it's a pretty special thing, to discover over time, some of your own passions and interests develop in your child. If you know me, you know I'm creative and love to express that through art, crafts, photography, etc. Mia loves to paint and shows such attention to detail with each project. I've never seen her sit still at the table like she does when she paints. Proof it can actually happen. Baby: {Read More}

PARIS (AFP) - French drivers seething over high fuel prices have vowed to snarl traffic across the country on Saturday (Nov 17) in a widely supported protest that could prove the trickiest so far for President Emmanuel Macron.
The "yellow vests" movement, named for the high-visibility jackets worn by supporters, erupted on social media last month with calls for mass blockades of roads and highways.
Anger over fuel costs, blamed on taxes imposed by Mr Macron to fight pollution, has been simmering for months, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas where public transport is patchy.
"Nobody thinks about the people on the city fringes, in the provinces, in rural areas," said Ms Priscillia Ludosky, a business manager in a Paris suburb who launched an online petition last May which now has more than 850,000 signatures.
"They tell them to use alternative transportation, but the reality is that's not possible. They have no other choice but to pay up," she said.
But analysts say the movement now represents more widespread frustration over stagnant spending power under Mr Macron, a former investment banker who promised economic revival and to restore people's trust in government.
Critics accuse him of neglecting the needs of the poor and the provinces in favour of tax cuts for the wealthy and other policies which mainly help well-heeled urbanites.
A poll by the Elabe institute this week found that 73 per cent of respondents backed the "yellow vests", and 70 per cent wanted the government to rescind the fuel tax hikes, which are slated to continue through 2022.
"Even 54 per cent of people who voted for Macron support this movement," said Mr Vincent Thibault, Elabe's senior research director.
"The expectations and discontent over spending power are fairly broad, it's not just something that concerns rural France or the lower classes," he said.
The movement's leaders have refused any alignment with political parties or labour unions, echoing similar tax revolts which dot French history back through the centuries.
Around 1,500 protests are expected across France, aiming to thwart access to city centres, create gridlock on major roads and highways, and block access to airports.
Motorway operators have appealed for anyone not having to drive to stay at home.
In Paris, a "snail operation" will snarl the city's main ring road before heading towards the Elysee Palace.
"We're fed up," Mr Thierry Marre, a former oil industry manager who is organising protests in the south-eastern Provence region, told AFP this week, saying the government had "to back down".
"They're stealing our lives," he said. "People can't afford to go on holiday, they don't have enough to put any money away for saving."
Mr Macron admitted in a prime-time TV interview this week that he had "not succeeded in reconciling the French with their leaders" and "we have probably not given them enough consideration".
But other officials have stoked ire by calling the drivers' protest "irrational", while government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux dismissed "people who smoke and drive diesel cars" as "not the France of the 21st century".
"Emmanuel Macron's unpopularity is increasingly acrimonious. It's become more of a societal opposition, not just political," said Mr Jerome Sainte-Marie, head of the PollingVox institute.
Mr Macron's approval ratings are stuck at around 30 per cent in various polls, and despite payroll tax relief which kicked in last month and reductions in residency taxes, he remains widely perceived as a "president of the rich".
"Emmanuel Macron is in real trouble with average people: he represents the Parisian social and intellectual elite and that sends a very negative image," Mr Sainte-Marie said.
But the 40-year-old centrist has shown no signs of changing course, saying he will pursue his reform agenda despite risking the wrath of voters.
The government has said it will not tolerate road shutdowns on Saturday, and some 30,000 additional police officers will be on call in case of disruptions.
Mr Macron does have some on his side: several cycling groups have called for counter-protests in support of the higher fuel taxes.

A fabulous and astonishingly beautiful spot for relaxing, swimming and even sunbathing, Agonda beach, located to the south of Goa is still a place that is comparatively less congested with visitors and tourists. The water here is certainly not amongst the best and safest for swimming with plenty of better beaches around but if you happen to be one of those who prefer a rather secluded place to enjoy your holidays, then this could be the ideal destination for you here in Goa.
Again, suddenly if your party mood is awakened you can visit the Palolem, only 10 km away. There is also a church in the centre of the beach known as Agonda Church. To the exact right of the church there is a school/college where the local children go for their education which rather strangely is called by the name of Agonda University. Agonda beach is the ideal embodiment of romantic Goa at its vintage best. The scenic beauty of Agonda beach is by no means lagging behind from any other beaches in Goa. The beach is about 3 km long. The best part about Agonda beach is the cynosure of tranquillity and calmness that a traveller can derive from being and staying there. The sea surrounded by dense forest would act as an ideal icing on the cake that would take your mind to a different blissful zone altogether.
Although devoid of high-class facilities, however, the fundamental or the basic facilities are very much there available in the Agonda beach. The experience on the beach is a tad different too from other beaches in the country. The people there are extremely friendly and are highly hospitable giving the tourists a homely feel. So if you are sick and tired of the daily routine and want some time off from the hectic city life, go to Goa and spend some precious time in the Agonda beach to come back refreshed and rejuvenated. Some fantastic restaurants are also there located nearby the Agonda beach for satisfying your food cravings by offering some delicious seafood.
