== Latvian Prime Minister Resigns After Supermarket Collapse Th ==
 +
 +
<html>REUTERS/Ints Kalnins
 +
RIGA,[http://awo.sakuraweb.com/game/you/bbs/preserve.cgi Miley Cyrus AMA Performance W], Latvia (AP) Latvia's prime minister has resigned after accepting political responsibility for the collapse of a supermarket roof in the capital that killed 54 people and wounded at least 40 others.
 +
 +
Valdis Dombrovskis was the longest serving prime minister in Latvia's history.
 +
 +
Police have opened a criminal investigation into the cause of last week's tragedy. Possible explanations for the disaster include a flawed design,[http://www.visionaround.com/events.php <strong>cheap nfl jersey</strong>], substandard construction materials,[http://softvent.com/prd_FAM.html <strong>cheap packers jerseys</strong>], and corruption.

<html>It happens to my girlfriend nearly every workout. After watching her stalk the squat rack, someone approaches her cautiously and asks her what sport or competition she's training for. "For life," she says. The reactions are mostly positive,[http://imporcelos.com/funcse.php <strong>broncos jerseys 2013</strong>], but some people are floored and can't comprehend why she does deadlifts, front squats, and chin-ups for fun.
 +
I mean, women don't train like men, right? They shouldn't lift heavy weights, right? Why would women squat, bench, or chin if they're not some kind of figure competitor or athlete or real-life, ass-kicking crime fighter?
 +
My girlfriend baffles many gym-goers because they're programmed to think women are delicate flowers who shouldn't lift heavy. These and other messages trumpeted to women 24/7 are utter garbage. The notion that women can't be strong, athletic, or lift heavy is unfortunate, silly, and simply needs to stop.
 +
Train the Same
 +
In most cases, men and women should train the same. Aesthetically speaking, I understand that men and women have varying goals, but they're actually achieved with the same programs. Men often want to be jacked or yoked, and many women want to be toned and shapely. The thing is, you can't have sexy or shapely anything without building muscle!
 +
To make muscle, you must lift weights and provide the body with ample calories to recover. Muscle won't miraculously appear from performing countless sets of 20 reps with 5-10 pound dumbbells. I don't care if you're a man, a woman,[http://www.visionaround.com/events.php <strong>cheap nfl jersey</strong>], or a Martian.
 +
 +
You can't have sexy or shapely anything without building muscle!
 +
The amount of muscle and effort required to lift a weight 20 times without failing is insignificant compared to lifting a weight 6-10 times to failure. High-repetition training has its time and place, but I feel it's woefully overemphasized and leads to sub-optimal results.
 +
With rare exceptions, it's actually harder for women to build muscle because they have 10 times less testosterone than men. To overcome this, women often have to train twice as hard as men, not softer.
 +
Legs Are the Exception
 +
I take a slightly different approach with my female clients when it comes to leg training. After all, most women aren't after the "tear drop" look in their quads. If so, more power to them!
 +
In my experience, however, the second a female client can't fit into her "sexy jeans" because her quads grew two inches, I have hell to pay. To avoid this,[http://club.suning.com/baike/home.php?mod=space&uid=4514601&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=3415270 EXCLUSIVE- Jonah Hill’s Fat Cheater Brother], I typically place more premiums on training the posterior chain with sumo or Romanian deadlift variations that target the hamstrings and barbell bridges which hammer the glutes.
 +
I still add squats to the mix, but I have female trainees take a wider stance and make sure they groove a proper hip-hinge pattern. This is accomplished by learning to sit back during the descent with your hips, rather than breaking at the knees, to place more emphasis on the quads.
 +
To target the quads,[http://www.acoare.es/wiki/Usuario:Zwgksyak2#MUSIC_VIDEO-_RIHANNA_PREMIERES_.E2.80.9CWHAT_NOW.E2.80.9D__.CC.B5 MUSIC VIDEO- RIHANNA PREMIERES “WHAT NOW”  ̵], I emphasize hip-dominant exercise variations,[http://essaetec.com/football-jerseys.html <strong>cheap football jerseys</strong>], like reverse or lateral lunges, instead of forward lunges and step-ups. A seemingly innocuous tip like instructing a slightly more forward lean on lunges makes a big difference. Forward leaning targets the glutes and hamstrings while upright posture with vertical shins places more stress on the quads.
 +
 +
Barbell Glute Bridge
 +
Lifting Time
 +
There aren't many situations when women should train differently than men. Obvious circumstances such as pregnancy would involve another discussion entirely. Aside from that, women should train exactly like men with a program like this to build a powerful and beautiful body!</html>

== 3 Ways To Use Pumpkin That Don't Involve Pie ==
 +
 +
<html>&nbsp;
 +
I’m going to be honest: I’m not really a huge fan of pumpkin pies. I don’t know if I just OD’d on them as a small child or if the deluge of pumpkin-pumpkin-everywhere advertising and recipes that fills my senses from Halloween until after Thanksgiving has just turned me against the whole thing. Truth be told,[http://essaetec.com/football-jerseys.html <strong>cheap football jerseys</strong>], I just can’t get down with piles of the pumpkin anymore when it comes to eating it.&nbsp;
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Even the news that the smell of pumpkin pie is considered a turn-on for most men doesn’t do it. If that’s the case, I can sprinkle pumpkin pie spice in my lingerie drawer and let him do what comes naturally. Eating it? Mmmm, that’s a nope for me.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
However,[http://glenspark.com/software.html <strong>Cheap Jerseys Online</strong>], having been surrounded by cans of the stuff for about 6-8 weeks each year for the past all-of-my-life it seems, I have come to love all the OTHER things can be done with raw and/or canned pumpkin.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Pumpkin is considered a superfood, filled with vitamins A, C, and E as well as potassium, zinc and beta-carotene, which means it has insane antioxidant and nutrient properties. So, combined with a few choice ingredients, it can be more beneficial for your outsides without wreaking havoc on your waistline in pie, cookie, tart or candied form.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Here are three beauty uses for cooked-but-as-of-yet-unadulterated pumpkin that you can use to MacGyver your way into better skin and hair.&nbsp;
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Hair Mask - I love a good hair mask, don’t you? Pry a can of cooked pumpkin away from the clutched hands of your relatives and mix about 2 cups or so with a tablespoon each of Greek yogurt, raw honey and organic coconut oil (use macadamia nut, almond oil or olive oil if that’s all you have on hand.) Add the ingredients to a blender in order from thick to thin (pumpkin and yogurt go in first, then honey and oil) and blend until smooth.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Then apply to wet hair and work the mixture in well, paying extra attention to the scalp. Cover your hair with a shower cap for 15-30 minutes and then shampoo and condition as usual. The pumpkin and yogurt help clarify the scalp, while the honey and oil act as natural humectants.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Facial Mask - Let’s say you’ve got some serious redness the day after Thanksgiving thanks to an unauthorized, ill-advised move from wine at dinner to vodka with dessert. Combine 2-3 tablespoons of cooked pumpkin with a tablespoon each of honey and whole milk. Mix them together until they’re smooth,[http://bangalorewebhosting.com/SEO-services/nfl-saints-jerseys.html <strong>nfl saints jerseys</strong>], then apply the mixture to clean skin with clean hands or a large makeup brush.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
The pumpkin mixture can help soothe any redness and will work with the lactic acid in the milk to gently exfoliate while the honey locks in moisture. Let the mask dry for 20 minutes,[http://cube.cside1.com/thmaniacs/bbs/bluebbs/epad.cgi Go inside the ‘Hunger Games’-], then remove with a warm, damp wash cloth. Drink water,[http://info.bycycle.org/contact/comment-page-2/#comment-386457 Albany County supervisors find it&#8217;s a good year to be the incumbent], take Advil, emerge a new human.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Body Scrub - Sometimes, the only thing that will wash away the strange feeling of When Bad Relatives Happen to Good People is a shower, which is made better with a pumpkin body scrub to soften your skin while enjoying the last bits of holiday memories as they wash down the drain. Mix 1/2 cup each of cooked pumpkin puree and organic brown sugar with a tablespoon each of honey and olive oil, mix and apply with gentle pressure. Your skin will be softer and your mind will be calm enough to sleep a little or phone a friend.
 +
&nbsp;
 +
Do you have some other favorite uses for pumpkin that I’ve missed that don’t involve ingesting or baking? Do tell in the comments section.

== Justin Bieber Gets Softcore Cinematic In ‘All That Mat ==
 +
 +
<html>The snippet arrived Tuesday courtesy of Vevo. In it, the singer and Cali model Cailin Russo, also 19, are seen deep in first base on a set that looks like a mash up of Blade Runner and a Whitesnake rock video set back in the day.
 +
 +
In short; it s salty,[http://biztechbh.biz/ContactUs.html <strong>great jerseys online</strong>], sexy, and downright cinematic.
 +
 +
Shot on Nov. 17 in Los Angeles, after the shoot Tilley , Created Pure art w @justinbieber today #AllThatMatters,[http://tbcrecruiting.com/MasterPage.aspx <strong>seattle seahawks jersey</strong>],[http://www.xew123.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7157 Two gas lines rupture in Belleview], itself an intriguing statement for the director of an R B video to make.
 +
 +
Bieber and Tilley (who has just helmed Rick Ross feat. Future on No Games ), previously worked together on videos for Never Let You Go and U Smile in 2010, also Fa La La, the then 17-year-old s Christmas duet with Boyz II Men in 2011, so there s a familiar ease there.
 +
 +
<br>
 +
In addition, earlier this month  reported the chemistry between the teen singer and Russo was pretty intense, while a source added the model was really surprised how super easy it was to work with him. They had a really fun shoot!
 +
 +
All in all, it bodes well for a potentially nuanced take on  when the full video drops on December 2.
 +
 +
Meanwhile, Bieber s #MusicMondays are coming to a close. To date, fans and listeners have been taken on an eight week canter through the pop prince s cathartic R B Journals.
 +
 +
 +
From the pretty pain of Heartbreaker to lean longing in All That Matters,[http://www.modernshow.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1116712&extra= Mark Wahlberg Says Navy SEALs Had ‘Free Reign’ On The ‘Lone Su], (Yeah, yeah, what s a king bed without a queen/There ain t no I in team / To make me complete You re all that matters to me erotica of Hold Tight reflection in Recovery, Bad Day and All Bad a balls-out  and the kinetic funk of this week s ) like Justin s year, it s been quite the ride.
 +
 +
On the upside, more and more critics, notably ,[http://dpitsolutions.com.au/RemotesAccess.aspx <strong>football jerseys</strong>], are bucking the bandwagon of mealy-mouthed criticisms of the Canadian s music based on everything but his music, and instead looking forward to the heightened musical possibilities of Bieber s 2014.
 +
 +
Which, after all, is all that matters.

== This Car Nut Owns 5 Bugatti Veyrons, Don't Ask Why ==
 +
 +
<html>There are plenty of car collections scattered across the globe, and they range greatly in terms of their value, quality, and quantity.
 +
 +
MUST SEE:
 +
 +
They also range greatly in terms of their accessibility. Some folks are happy to share what they've got and celebrate their own collections. Look at the Mullin Museum in Oxnard, California, or the Marconi Museum that's also in California, just a bit further south. Other collections become the stuff of legend as they are housed behind large doors and locked off from the outside world.
 +
 +
Somewhere in between that wide range sits the following collection, which was captured on video by YouTube user 4WheelsofLux.
 +
 +
It's an extremely high-end exotic assembly of vehicles, and it's an expensive and impressive one at that. An Aston Martin One-77 shares the floor with a sea of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Ferrari products. The very first 599XX is on display, as is an ultra-rare Porsche 911 GT1. A Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR roadster is parked near a Maserati MC12,[http://www.gayanasamaja.org/newspro.html <strong>cheap basketball jerseys</strong>], while a Lamborghini Reventon sits angrily awaiting a drive.
 +
 +
MUST SEE:
 +
 +
Those vehicles alone would add serious value to any collection. It's the five (five!) Bugatti Veyron examples,[http://dpitsolutions.com.au/webdesign.aspx <strong>nba cheap jerseys</strong>], however,[http://aquastartech.com/sitewithmalware/cheap-jerseys-from-china.html <strong>cheap jerseys from china</strong>],[http://wiki.haxecn.org/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Ibkefdwg7#Cats_cruise_over_Robert_Morris.2C_87 Cats cruise over Robert Morris, 87], that push this collection into the price stratosphere. Why five you ask? Well, it appears that each is a different Veyron version that Bugatti offered up, including a Pur Sang and a Sang Noire. So if you're going to collect something as extraordinary as Bugatti Veyrons... you may as well collect them all.??

== Why The Knicks Aren't Doomed ==
 +
 +
<html>Maddie Meyer/Getty Images
 +
The&nbsp;&nbsp;have lost seven straight games and find themselves at 3-11 on the season. That's ... not good. They had their second team meeting of the season -- it's still November! -- and close out the month in Denver,[http://abcftp.com/index.php?title=User:Tpsxcivt7#Man_arrested_in_Lexington_home_invasion Man arrested in Lexington home invasion], a tough place to win, on Friday. Over the last three seasons, only one team -- the 2012-13&nbsp;&nbsp;-- have had a 7-game losing streak and still made the playoffs. And that's a horribly low bar for a team like the Knicks, who fancied themselves title contenders.
 +
 +
But there are some small reasons for optimism.
 +
 +
THE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN TOUGH
 +
The Knicks have played the toughest schedule among all Eastern Conference teams to date, per&nbsp;. New York has played five Western Conference teams already, four of which (,&nbsp;, Blazers and Rockets) seem like sure-bet playoff squads and the other (Wolves) which will be on the cusp if not in. The Knicks have gone 0-5 against those teams.
 +
 +
That 3-6 record against the East isn't too attractive, though. But the Knicks do have a couple of road wins (Charlotte, Atlanta), so ... you know, it's not&nbsp;all&nbsp;bad. The road loss to the&nbsp;&nbsp;and home loss to the&nbsp;&nbsp;are the team's only two egregious losses of the season. The team isn't losing consistently to horrible teams: it's losing consistently to good teams and occasionally to horrible teams. As the Knicks get to play more horrible teams, that record will improve.
 +
 +
Speaking of which ...
 +
 +
THE EAST IS STILL HORRIBLE
 +
The Knicks have played nine games against the East. Thankfully, New York gets 43 more. The East in the aggregate has been pretty awful this season. Miami and Indiana are 6-0 against the West; the rest of the East is a combined 14-50 against the West. The Knicks have been abused by the East a little bit so far, as noted above. But there's plenty of time to make it up against a mostly crummy bunch.
 +
 +
Related to that ...
 +
 +
SOME EAST TEAMS AHEAD OF NEW YORK WANT TO LOSE
 +
Right now, Boston, Orlando, Philadelphia and Charlotte are all ahead of the Knicks in the standings. Three of those teams want no part of the playoffs. The Bobcats pose an interesting question; the playoffs likely weren't in the team's plans coming into the season, but Charlotte might not actively attempt to choose the lottery over the postseason if it's an option. They've been beaten down long enough. If the so-called "tank teams" realize they are flying a little too close to the sun, we could see some trades to make them worse. That makes them easier marks for the Knicks when they play (four times each in the case of Philly and Boston) and easier to catch in the standings.
 +
 +
J.R. SMITH IS NOT POSSIBLY THIS BROKEN
 +
Three Knicks have vastly underperformed expectations this season:&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;and Raymond Felton. Felton is injured. When he's well, you'd expect him to bounce back toward the level of acceptable starting point guard. Shump has been plagued by trade rumors and a wound-up coach; it's all clearly rattled him. The fix is probably to trade him. Luckily, he seems to have fans around the league. But Smith ... man,[http://tbcrecruiting.com/info_subs.aspx <strong>giants jersey</strong>],[http://www.ric.hi-ho.ne.jp/cgi-bin/user/morisame/joyful.cgi 4chan's moot creates webcam s], he's been horrid. And there's no possible way this will stick. Thirty-two percent shooting? Thirteen points per 36 minutes? No way.
 +
 +
Last season, Smith earned 0.968 points per field goal attempt. This season, he's at 0.788. He's taking 13 FGAs per game. So he's leaving about 2.3 points per game on the table just by shooting poorly. Add those into the Knicks' total and the offense would rank right around No. 19 in the league, not No. 24. The Knicks' scoring margin would go from -6.7 (No. 26 in the league) to -4.4 (No. 24). Small steps, I suppose, but the team would be slightly more respectable.
 +
 +
TYSON CHANDLER WILL BE BACK
 +
&nbsp;is due back in the next 1-3 weeks. That's good not just because Chandler is a fine player. It's good because the Knicks' other centers are hideous, especially defensively.&nbsp;&nbsp;has been hitting shots at a good clip,[http://www.visionaround.com/newpro.php <strong>jerseys online</strong>], and he did shut down ol'&nbsp;, but it's usually not pretty when he's on the floor. The same applies to&nbsp;. I struggle to get a bead on where Kenyon Martin's defense is these days -- sometimes it looks right, sometimes it looks quite the opposite. (He's at 4.4 fouls per 36 minutes.) Regardless, Chandler is better. In addition, he can put some efficient points on the board on pick-and-roll setups. If Felton gets healthy, too, that's a boost for the offense.
 +
 +
WHOLESALE CHANGE IS, PERHAPS, A FIRED COACH AWAY
 +
Let's face it:&nbsp;&nbsp;hasn't exactly handled things terribly well this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;was wildly successful as a power forward last season; he has started at small forward eight times this season, despite the Knicks have a totally dilapidated frontline replete with guys who probably shouldn't be playing much. It's hard to imagine Shumpert being handled worse this season, and even Smith -- usually comfortable so long as he has the ball and a glimpse at the rim -- has looked out of place after Woodson gave him a few starts. The team defense looks sub-AAU. The offense is stagnant despite a bunch of weapons being available. And the only Knick who doesn't seem totally morose right now --&nbsp;&nbsp;--&nbsp;&nbsp;on Thursday.
 +
 +
"I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said. "I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here."
 +
 +
That must make Woodson feel real warm and fuzzy.
 +
 +
Woodson doesn't have to go. But we have evidence with this core of players how much a coaching change matters. In fact, Woodson is that evidence! The club was 18-24 in 2011-12 when Mike D'Antoni was fired and replaced by Woodson; the Knicks went 18-6 the rest of the way and magically peeled a game off of Miami in the playoffs.
 +
 +
So if things don't improve once Chandler returns, the schedule eases up and Smith has more recovery time, the Knicks' leadership can look at the available free agent coaches and see if there's a fit. (Spark those&nbsp;&nbsp;non-rumor rumors.&nbsp;&nbsp;is probably more reasonable. Hell, maybe&nbsp;&nbsp;will be available.) It's not a foolproof fix -- just because Melo and the crew turned it around under Woodson two years ago doesn't mean it'd happen again. In-season coaching changes have a mixed history of effectiveness. But it's an option for the club.
 +
 +
If&nbsp;none&nbsp;of that matters and the Knicks continue to be an embarrassment as we approach the February trade deadline, things get more dire. I'm not sure James Dolan's infamous ego will let him pawn off Melo so long as Melo claims he'll consider re-signing in July. But you can bet the back pages of the tabloids will raise the question frequently if things don't improve by the New Year. I think they will,[http://bangalorewebhosting.com/SEO-services/texans-jersey.html <strong>texans jersey</strong>], and the Knicks will end up a second-tier East playoff team, somewhere around the No. 5 seed. Which, all told, is probably where they belonged all along.</html>

== Many Americans plan less holiday spending, survey says ==
 +
 +
<html>The 16-day partial federal government shutdown in October may be one factor that soured the mood for consumers heading into the crucial end-of-the-year holiday shopping season.
 +
 +
Although financial worries related to the shutdown have disappeared and recent reports have indicated the economic recovery is strengthening,[http://www.jerseys-ns.org/ <strong>Eddie Lacy Jerseys</strong>], many people still are hesitant to spend, said Greg McBride,[http://new.xszans.com/bbs/home/space.php?uid=40502&do=blog&id=838201 Mandela visit to Miami Beach sparked black boycott], Bankrate.com's senior financial analyst.

 +
 +
"People just don t have a whole lot of extra money laying around, so it's difficult for them to ramp up holiday spending," McBride said.
 +
 +
The results of the survey of 1,[http://www.jerseys-ns.org/ <strong>Seattle Seahawks Fan #12 Jersey</strong>],002 adults came as the Commerce Department reported last week that retail sales rose more than expected in November. Auto sales were a big factor in the increase.
 +
 +
This year's holiday shopping season got off to a slow start, with spending down 3% during the Thanksgiving weekend. Bad weather in many parts of the country also could contribute to lackluster spending, Bankrate.com said.

== NASA selects SpaceX to take over historic launchpad ==
 +
 +
<html>It s likely to be the place where the next chapter of manned spaceflight will play out, with NASA's plan to outsource space missions to privately funded companies now that the U.S. fleet of space shuttles is retired.
 +
 +
SpaceX has already taken on the task of hauling cargo to the International Space Station,[http://www.jerseys-ns.org/ <strong>Sidney Rice #18 Jersey</strong>], having made three flights out of 12 to restock the orbiting laboratory. The company has a $1.6-billion contract with NASA to do so.
 +
 +
The next phase is carrying astronauts. Last year,[http://www.higeg.jp/kycgi-bin/hgweb/keige/fantasy/fantasy.cgi Chargers Get Giant Win, Keep ], SpaceX won $440 million from NASA to make its spacecraft astronaut-ready.
 +
 +
SpaceX's capsule is designed to carry seven astronauts. The company is aiming for a manned test flight by 2015.
 +
 +
SpaceX, officially named Space Exploration Technologies Corp., won out on the pad over Blue Origin, a little-known aerospace company founded by Amazon.com founder .
 +
 +
Blue Origin, based in Kent, Wash.,[http://www.jerseys-ns.org/ <strong>Eddie Lacy Jerseys</strong>], wanted to lease the launchpad and protested earlier this year when NASA asked for proposals -- it said NASA gave SpaceX an unfair advantage.
 +
 +
The Government Accountability Office  and on Thursday denied Blue Origin s protest.
 +
 +
In a statement, SpaceX said it will gladly accommodate other commercial providers interested in using launch complex 39A for NASA human-rated orbital spaceflight.
 +
 +
NASA said it will begin working with SpaceX to negotiate the terms of its lease for the pad. During those negotiations, the agency said, it will not discuss details of the lease agreement.
 +
 +
Meanwhile,[http://www.xiequscape.com/plus/view.php?aid=740609 Borderland Beat- CDG Hangs two Young Girls with Me],[http://www.jerseys-ns.org/ <strong>white Eddie Lacy Jerseys</strong>], NASA said it is hard at work assembling the  spacecraft and preparing its infrastructure for the Space Launch System rocket. It will launch from a nearby pad and take American astronauts far into space, including to an asteroid and Mars.

But I think that part of him still exists and hope it will come out sooner or later, he explained .

The Walking Dead star continued, I knew that going in that Glenn was going to be a little more careful. All the things that he s suffered for and learned for his mistakes for. He wants to really keep and cherish the idea of family,detroit lions jerseys, and keeping those around him that he loves. Scott [Gimple] told me that was the direction Glenn was headed. But there were some surprises in terms of how feeble he was in his attempts to do so.

Yeun said Glenn s ability to survive all of the grisly obstacles producers throw his way is based on the character s resilience. No matter how many times the guy gets knocked down, he keeps getting back up.

The actor explained that separating Glenn s challenges from the real world is often difficult. Since the hit AMC series is so genuinely intense, sometimes the depressing elements contained in numerous Walking Dead episodes can spill over into his daily life.

Yeun explained: 

This show is really intense in that we re living out these characters lives. So you just kind of live out really terrible situations that hit really close to home, so last year with what Glenn was going through,[1]

Forest loss in Riau,cheap jerseys online, Indonesia in the years 2000 - 2012

The tool was built by analyzing 654,178 Landsat images and required so much CPU that it would have taken one computer 15 years to process. In fact, it's only due to recent gains in computing technology that such a high-resolution map (scalable down to 30 meters) could exist in the first place. It's groundbreaking not just because of the high resolution, but also because it's the first tool to show forest cover and loss on a global scale -- you can see the effects of what's happening locally in a global context.

Some other things documented in the tool are the progress made by Brazil in cracking down on illegal logging and deforestation over the past decade, but the map also shows the increasing forest loss in places like Indonesia, Paraguay and elsewhere. Studies show that tropical forest loss is increasing by 2,101 square kilometers (811 square miles) per year.

The creators of the tool hope that it can be used to help predict future land use changes and the effects of climate-related deforestation. With this amount of data being contained in such a user-friendly format, governments and other organizations can use the tool to make better policies to protect our forests.

Alec Baldwin Slams Anderson Cooper In New Blog Post

<html>Andreas Rentz/Getty "We do take a small amount of pride in knowing that we beat CNN in the ratings each of our nights," Baldwin wrote of his currently-suspended MSNBC show. Even when Alec Baldwin is trying to apologize, he still manages to include a dig.

Baldwin wrote a lengthy, explanatory, and for the most part thoughtful piece on this weekend titled

In it,Slain musicians came to NYC for music freedom Slain musicians came to NYC for music freedom <a name="http://yunwei.org/97/#comment-1008411">Slain musicians came to NYC for music freedom</a> [http://yunwei.org/97/#comment-1008411 Slain musicians came to NYC for music freedom</ a> <a href="http://yunwei.org/97/#comment-1008411">Slain musicians came to NYC for music freedom],<a name="http://biztechbh.biz/networking.html">denver broncos jerseys</a>, the actor addresses MSNBC's recent decision to  after reportedly :

Whether the show comes back at all is at issue right now. My producers and I had a very enlightening and well-researched program prepared to air on November 22nd itself, dealing with John Kennedy's assassination. That show is off the air now ...

It's heartbreaking to me that the show, meant to coincide with the actual anniversary,washington redskins jersey, will not be aired that night. The show is no doubt a work in progress and one that I believe featured some interesting guests and disseminated a good deal of interesting information. But if the show dies,[3] <a name="http://hongtaifa.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=32285"></a> [http://hongtaifa.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=32285 </ a> <a href="http://hongtaifa.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=32285">],nba jerseys, its fate ends up being no different than the vast majority of start-up TV programming, and so be it.

But here's the part where Baldwin can't help himself:

We do take a small amount of pride in knowing that we beat CNN in the ratings each of our nights. (I forget who they had on at that time.)

Baldwin is, of course, referring to Anderson Cooper, whose 10pm show competed with Baldwin's time slot.

Cooper, who is , after the incident, saying: "Wow, Alec Baldwin shows his true colors yet again. How is he going to lie and excuse his anti-gay slurs this time?" and "Must read Alec Baldwin's latest excuses. They are actually so ridiculous they are funny."

In Baldwin's new post, he continued to diss other networks (Fox News) and praise other anchors (Rachel Maddow).

I have been a fan of MSNBC for some time. Its left-leaning tone never bothered me. I still believe that they are more enamored of and devoted to the truth in any single hour than Fox is all year long. I think Rachel Maddow is perhaps the single most important television journalist on the air today. And if my show does disappear, I will be grateful in so far as her good work, along with that of O'Donnell and Hayes and Sharpton and Matthews and Jansing, will not be sullied by my problem.</html>

Current Trends Show Car Repairs Can Be Costlier Than Necessa

<html>While most mechanics are honest and auto repairs that need to be done out of necessity or for preventive maintenance, most car owners still question their advice.

Yet mechanics and others in the industry have pointed out things that can cause problems that lead to the need for auto repairs; and many of these are a direct result of the owner s actions and inaction. Consider the following examples.

Trying to fix a car on their own

Some people are completely adept at making repairs to their car; however, most aren t. The Internet age has made at-home repairs more common as people take to sites like YouTube or forums to get quick tutorials on complex repair jobs.

Unfortunately, most repairs today require special tools, and on-board computers also make more complicated auto repairs almost impossible for the novice mechanic. There s very little that you can do with today s cars, says Steve Marsh, ASE master technician.

He notes that it often takes special tools just to change the spark plugs. Someone who doesn t have the right tools,<a name="http://glenspark.com/portfollow.html">charlestown chiefs</a>, or the right knowledge, usually winds up doing more damage to the car, resulting in a higher repair bill.

High technology

Advanced technology gives today s cars a wealth of features, but in addition to making home auto repairs difficult, it also has led to increased costs for many repairs. Electronic equipment accounts for more than 40% of a vehicle s cost, up from 20% just 10 years ago, says Jacqui Dedo, a strategist for auto supplier Dana.

Other components that carry higher costs as a result of automotive technology are air conditioning, cooling, fuel,cheap jerseys from china, steering, and engine systems.

Where you live

The city and state a person lives in has long been tied to auto insurance rates,Riyadh Rain Floods City Riyadh Rain Floods City <a name="http://www.nankaiya.co.jp/cgi/bbs/cbbs.cgi">Riyadh Rain Floods City</a> [http://www.nankaiya.co.jp/cgi/bbs/cbbs.cgi Riyadh Rain Floods City</ a> <a href="http://www.nankaiya.co.jp/cgi/bbs/cbbs.cgi">Riyadh Rain Floods City], but it might also be the reason your car needs more frequent visits to the mechanic. A recent story in the reported how the city of Modesto s road conditions cost car owners an additional $560 in repairs on an annual basis.

But residents of Modesto aren t the only ones who see more repair bills. Living close to the ocean causes rusted parts due to the sea air, and that often results in additional repairs for people who don t maintain their vehicle. Mountain living can also put more wear and tear on a car, as does frequent driving on dirt and gravel roads.

To avoid unnecessary repairs, auto mechanics suggest the following maintenance practices that can save money in the long run: 

Timing belt replacement: 100,000 miles

Water pump replacement: 100,000 miles

Check wheel alignment: once a year

Check tire pressure: once a month

Replace fluids: every 50,<a name="http://tbcrecruiting.com/Heritagesfac.aspx">nfl jerseys from china</a>,000 miles

Of course, mechanics will also recommend that car owners follow the factory maintenance schedule. Not only does this help keep the car in shape, but it will also help the owner maintain any warranties throughout their life span.

Other ways to save money on repairs involve using a trusted mechanic. You want on who s not only honest with you about what needs to be done,Obamacare a Democratic disaster Obamacare a Democratic disaster <a name="http://wiki.tongla.in.th/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Kylpvzin8#Obamacare_a_Democratic_disaster">Obamacare a Democratic disaster</a> [http://wiki.tongla.in.th/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Kylpvzin8#Obamacare_a_Democratic_disaster Obamacare a Democratic disaster</ a> <a href="http://wiki.tongla.in.th/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Kylpvzin8#Obamacare_a_Democratic_disaster">Obamacare a Democratic disaster], but who has up-to-date equipment and tools as well as training on modern vehicles.

Having someone who is able to spot what needs to be done and get it fixed properly the first time will save a great deal of money over the long haul.</html>

US And Afghanistan Agreed To War's Future

<html>The U.S. and Afghan governments have agreed to a final draft in a bilateral agreement that lays out the relationship between the two nations and the end to the war in Afghanistan, this according to . 

According to a draft copy of the resolution obtained by NBC News, the agreement calls for "a new NATO-led Mission to train, advise, and assist the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF)."

The meat of the deal is that the U.S. will keep around 7,000 troops in Afghanistan fighting terrorism and training Afghan security forces through at least 2024. The deal also outlines continued funding for ANDSF, to the tune of $4 billion annually, and most of which comes out of Washington's pocket.

The terms mean by the time the war's all said and done, the U.S. will have spent 23 years (at least),oakland raiders jerseys, to say nothing of thousands of American lives, and ,texans jersey, pursuing a set of what many people say are ambiguous goals in Afghanistan. 

Veterans and others have already spoken out in no uncertain terms about this deal. Business Insider contributor Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL who founded , a blog about special operations news,Reader feedback often illuminates,nba cheap jerseys,  that Afghanistan was his generation's Vietnam,Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) & our Veterans, just with a better homecoming.

"We still have no definitive and clear strategic objective on the table. Have we made a difference? You only have to look at the country and assess whether it will be better off after we've pulled out completely. Only time will tell but I fear we've done more harm than good," Webb said. 

 writes that the deal very well may represent a failed campaign promise for President Obama:

Obama hammered away at Republican rival Mitt Romney on the issue last year, saying the former Massachusetts governor had no timetable for bringing Americans home from the country s longest war. 

We are bringing our troops home from Afghanistan. And I've set a timetable. We will have them all out of there by 2014, Obama . Gov. Romney doesn't have a timetable. I think he's wrong. That's what's at stake in this election.</html>

SAPD involved in standoff; man takes hostage

<html>SAN ANTONIO ― San Antonio police and SWAT teams are involved in a standoff with a man, armed with a long gun, who is holding an 18-year-old man hostage inside an apartment complex on Evergreen near McCullough, north of downtown. Officer ,nfl jerseys from china, a police spokesman,’47 Ronin’- Keanu Reeves Honored To Star In The Adventure Flick, said the suspect, a 53-year-old man, had been invited as a guest to stay at the apartment in the 200 block of East Evergreen. The two men who live there, the 18-year-old and a 30-year-old, told police that the suspect became aggressive and physically abusive while staying with them. When they asked the man to leave the apartment, he refused and threatened them. The tenants called police around 4 a.m. Thursday morning, and when they arrived, the man threatened to shoot them with a long gun that he has in his possession. At that point, police barricaded the area and called in SWAT and hostage negotiators,CBS Reportedly Orders ‘HIMYM’ Spinoff With ‘How I Met Your Dad’ « CBS Los Angeles, who are trying to coax the man out. “We're not sure what he's about, whether he's serious or not,Cheap Jerseys Online,” Chief said Thursday morning at the scene. “We're being very cautious.” The chief said SWAT has surrounded the building. Zuniga said officers and negotiators are communicating with the suspect,great jerseys online, who has asked to see his mother. Police were going to pick her up and take her to the scene. The suspect has a previous arrest on a murder charge but was not convicted because of lack of evidence, McManus said. Police have blocked off McCullough and Main avenues between Park and Cypress to all traffic, and some of the streets are closed. VIA Transit announced on Twitter that bus routes along McCullough and Evergreen have been detoured because of the standoff. No one has been evacuated from the area, and nearby schools have been alerted about the situation. Expect delays getting in and out of downtown at that area.

So your friend asked you to be his best man, huh? Don t worry. It s not that hard. I ve been one, so I know.

Since I graduated college in 2004,seattle seahawks jersey, I have been to more than 30 weddings. I have been a groomsman five times. I've been the best man twice. I ve held chuppahs, done readings, and even officiated.

Follow these and you'll not only be a terrific best man,Controversial Resume Rules Even Recruiters Can't Agree On, but you'll also help give the groom the greatest gift possible: an amazing wedding.

1. Keep It Classy. Don't forget that you are the de facto representative of all of your buddy s friends. You basically represent the developmental years of little Matty. You will be judged, and so will he. So, at all of the public activities (engagement parties and wedding), behave accordingly.

2. Crowdsource The Bachelor Party. Planning a bachelor party can be intimidating. But if you're professional about it, it's not that big of a deal. Just as in the workplace, manage expectations.

One thing to remember: You are not the laborer. You are management. How organized you are will directly affect how seriously the other groomsmen take you and this experience.

Create a document (I use a multi-tab Google Docs spreadsheet) that includes contact information, roles and responsibilities, and money tracking. It helps if you think of crowdsourcing as public shaming everyone needs to lend a hand, and everyone will see who's trying to coast by. Highlight in red the cheapskates who are lagging, so when Justin doesn't get his money for the beer, you can direct him to Jeff, who still hasn't paid.

Remember, most attendees will just want to be herded, so plan accordingly and tell them exactly what needs to be done. And when someone inevitably asks a question that can easily be answered by the spreadsheet, just copy and paste the link.

Note: The Classy Rule does not necessarily apply to the bachelor party. It is directly determined by the personality of the groom.

3. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. You are not a cruise director. You don t need to have a whirlwind of activities surrounding the bachelor party. Most people will want some down time. The way I think about bachelor parties is the same way I think about my weekend: I have a ton of ideas, and then I divide by three. Why yes, it would be epic to travel across the country to Tahoe for a weekend of skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, whitewater rafting, drinking, eating, and shopping. But it's too much.

People want to do things, but they don t want to do all of the things. Anchor each day with one major activity say, a football game, which lasts most of the day and includes eating and tailgating. Or go out to a dinner and a bar one night, but don t plan an early-morning activity immediately following it. You don t have to do football,atlanta falcons schedule, skeet shooting, and the driving range all in one day (or, frankly, even one weekend).

If you ve simplified away from a multi-night bachelor-extravaganza to just a one-night affair, congratulations! You are winning this category. Just be sure to reserve a limo or party bus. It simplifies transportation and allows everyone to enjoy themselves. Small group? If you're in a major city,Gift pick No. 18- TerraForma , think about using , which has a fleet of SUVs at your disposal. 

4. Be MacGyver. At the wedding,personalized jerseys, it is your job to make sure the groom gets there, to take care of whatever he needs, and not to lose the rings. Be prepared for anything. And have a handkerchief in your pocket in case the groom, one of the groomsmen, or you, are the kind of people who sweat. Nobody wants wedding photos with beads of sweat on your forehead, especially the bride. 

5. The Toast: Be Funny, But Forgettable. Did you write The Simpsons? What about 30 Rock? No? OK, then let's not get carried away with the stand-up routine. Your role with the Best Man Toast is to demonstrate to the bride and groom that you care for them and are happy for them, and to lead the room in wishing them the best future possible.

The best supporting actors have a good line here and there, but fade off. No good story starts, You d never believe what the best man said at this wedding ... I have four mainstays with regard to the speech: 1) memorize it, 2) keep it short people want to eat, 3) leave the inside jokes to the maid of honor, and 4) leave the props to Carrot Top.

6. Enjoy Yourself Just Not Too Much.  Keep Frank the Tank bottled up until the after party. After all, you're still technically on the job. At the reception, I usually alternate between a gin and tonic and sparkling water with lime. If you're worried about standing out, just ask the bartender to pour your water in the same tumblers as the mixed drinks. No one will know the difference.

See? Totally simple. Remember this gauge: If you have to ask yourself if something is OK, it probably isn t. Now straighten your tie. You ll do just fine.

Cristiano Ronaldo Could Boycott Ballon D’Or Ceremony

<html>Once again, 2013 sees Cristiano Ronaldo facing off against Lionel Messi, one of the greatest players in the world.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has extended the voting, after he appeared to take sides in the eternal controversy over which of the two stars is the world s best footballer.

It looks like this may be the year the Portuguese forward finally has an edge over the Argentine, after he scored a hat trick that helped Portugal beat the always strong Sweden on Tuesday in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

The voting will go on until November 29, since the turnout has been low. International coaches, captains,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and representatives of the international media cast votes to determine the best player.

The will be announced in Zurich in January.

It is widely believed that Cristiano Ronaldo will skip the ceremony on January 13,saints football jerseys, in effect snubbing . Blatter made his provocative comment when he was asked to compare Renaldo to Messi, who has won the award three times.


Blatter has since apologized for his comments and said he meant no disrespect towards Ronaldo,Eddie Murphy And Arsenio Hall, whom he considers one of the best players in the world.

FIFA will announce the short list, with the three finalists to receive the Ballon d Or nominations next month. 

has not made any efforts to quell the rumors he will miss the ceremony in Zurich, which has made the speculation grow.

Ronaldo was asked if his performance against Sweden was meant to make a point to Blatter: 

I do not have to prove anything to anyone. I think I have come to show what I am in the last years, scoring 40-50 goals every season,Cheap Jerseys Online,Albanians back refusal to dismantle Syrian weapons, it is there for anyone to see and it reflects the player I am. Am I the best in the world? I am not obsessed with it. I try to do my work, both in the squad as the club and give answers on the pitch.

Messi has won the three Ballon d Or titles since the award s inception in 2010, but with a hamstring injury that will sideline him until next year, it is likely Cristiano Ronaldo s star will shine even brighter.

Now, if Ronaldo is awarded the Ballon, it is expected to be an uncomfortable situation, whether he shows up in Zurich or not.

Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo will snub FIFA and Blatter at the Ballon d Or award ceremony?</html>

‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ Sequel Could Be Bl

<html>No project relating to can proceed without a license from Paramount,[4],jerseys online, a Paramount spokesman said. To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.

The film s producer, Bob Farnsworth,redskins jersey, told Variety that the . 

We have spent a lot of time,Chargers Fans Can’t Blame Nor, money and research that leads us to believe that we are clear on any infractions of the copyright, Farnsworth said. If anyone feels that have a legal claim, we will be happy to talk with them. I believe that whatever resolution needs to be made will be made amicably, in the positive spirit of the project.

The sequel, called It s a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story, will (who is also named George Bailey). Karolyn Grimes, who played George s daughter, Zuzu,cheap football jerseys, in the original, has agreed to play an angel who shows George what the world would be like if he had never been born. 

The new film will retain the feeling of the original, and it simply must be shared. I ve probably read close to 20 scripts over the years suggesting a sequel to It s a Wonderful Life, but none of them were any good, Grimes said. The script by Bob Farnsworth and Martha Bolton was wonderful, and I wanted to be involved with his version of the film immediately.</html>

Michael Wolff can't do arithmetic

<html>has a weird column about Business Insider today. (Near the top, he says that Henry Blodget can be seen at nearly every industry cocktail party ,[5], which is hilariously wrong, Blodget hates going to such things, and almost never does.)

Wolff also back-of-the-envelopes some ad-revenue math:

Blodget recently told the Financial Times that Business Insider s revenue will be close to $20 million this year

Let s assume that close to $20 million is more like $17 million and that a few million of that comes from conferences, its low-margin, hard-work new area of business that Business Insider has been recently bragging about. So figure perhaps $14 million from its core advertising base.

BI's 10 million uniques likely yield something near 40 million page views a month, which would be a $3 CPM (cost per thousand views),broncos jerseys 2013, hardly setting even the abysmally low online CPM world on fire. In fact, comScore tends to undercount by almost half, so it could be more like 20 million uniques with 80 million page views and a CPM across the site of $1.50.

Let s grant Wolff s assumptions, silly as they may be. And let s put to one side that he uses the term CPM (the cost to an advertiser of 1,000 pageviews) when he means RPM (the revenue to a publisher of 1,cheap nfl jersey,000 pageviews). The difference, of course, is that you can get more than one ad per page.

In any case, if you have 40 million pageviews per month, that s 480 million pageviews per year. Now, let s say you have advertising revenue of $14 million per year. Then you re getting revenue of $14 million per 480 million pageviews. Divide both numbers by 480,000: that s the same as $29 per thousand pageviews. Not $3. Wolff s off by an order of magnitude.

Similarly,denver broncos jerseys,January Jones Jokes James Marsden Is The Father Of Her Son, if Business Insider is getting $14 million from 80 million pageviews a month, that works out at an RPM of about $15, not $1.50.

Now I have no idea what Business Insider s revenue or pageview numbers are. But I do know bad arithmetic when I see it. And Wolff s arithmetic reminds me of nothing so much as , back in 2007. Except in Wolff s case, of course, it s unreasonably bearish, rather than unreasonably bullish.</html>

Syria peace talks to begin Jan. 22, U.N. says

<html>The talks were originally scheduled for last May, but deep differences among Syria s fractious opposition forces have proved a barrier to getting both sides to the negotiating table. The U.N. announcement on Monday appears to be an effort to force the issue and set a firm date for what could be a forum laying the groundwork for a new political order in Syria.

The timing also suggests that diplomats are hopeful of seizing momentum from the just-concluded talks in Geneva concerning Iran's disputed . On Sunday, representatives of six world powers and Iran reached a preliminary accord that would put constraints on Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for limited relief from international economic sanctions.

The aim of the Syria talks is to set up a transitional government in Damascus based on the mutual consent of the opposing parties. The transitional administration would have full executive powers, including control of military and security units, according to a blueprint hammered out last year by world powers.

The transitional administration is meant to pave the way for free elections and a democratic government in Syria, which has been ruled for more than four decades by the family and its allies.

The government of President Bashar Assad, a close ally of Russia,cheap nfl jersey,Watch LG's new flexible phone heal itself after a knife scra, has said it will send representatives to the Geneva 2 talks, though Assad himself has repeatedly declared that he will not talk to terrorists, the government's term for the armed opposition. However, Russian officials have assured the U.N. that Assad s government is ready to attend. Similar guarantees have not been forthcoming from the deeply divided opposition.

The major, U.S.-backed political opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, has limited presence on the ground in Syria and has been rejected as illegitimate by some rebel groups fighting inside the country. The coalition has put down various conditions for its presence at peace talks, including seeking a guarantee that the process will lead to Assad s departure from power -- a demand rejected by the Syrian government.

Various Islamic rebel alliances have also sprung up inside Syria recent months, along with Kurdish militants fighting for a degree of autonomy in northern Syria. Also, several factions affiliated with and seeking establishment of an Islamic state in Syria have become powerful blocs in the rebel ranks. Officials have said that the Al Qaeda groups will not be invited to Geneva 2.

There are also numerous opposition groups and political parties operating within government-controlled areas of Syria. Who will represent them at the Geneva conference also remains unclear.

Another question is whether Iran, a close ally of Assad,denver broncos jerseys, will be invited as part of a number of outside nations also participating in the planned conference.

The Syrian conflict, which began in March 2011,nba cheap jerseys, has resulted in more than 100,000 deaths and driven millions from their homes, causing political and social tension throughout the Middle East. The Syrian war, which features various foreign powers bankrolling and arming one side or the other,Europe's Banking Regulator- Too Many Banks Survived The Financial Crisis, is widely regarded as the major security and humanitarian challenge in the region.

Why Japan is Crazy About Housing

<html>House NA / Sou Fujimoto Architects. Image ? Iwan Baan 


is famous for its radical residential architecture. But as Tokyo architect  explains, its penchant for avant garde  may be driven by the country’s bizarre real estate economics, as much as its designers’ creativity.

Here on ArchDaily, we see a steady stream of radical houses. These homes, mostly designed by young architects, often elicit readers’ bewilderment. It can seem that in Japan, anything is permissible: stairs and balconies , rooms flagrantly to their surroundings, or homes with at all.

These whimsical, ironic, or otherwise arrest readers’ attention, baiting us to ask: ? The photos travel the blogosphere and social networks under their own momentum, garnering global exposure and international validation for Japan’s outwardly shy, yet media-savvy architects. Afterall, in Japan – the country with the most registered architects per capita – standing out from the crowd is the key to getting ahead for young designers. But what motivates their clients, who opt ?for such eccentric expressions of lifestyle?



HouseT / Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects. Image ? Hiroyasu Sakaguchi An unconventional home requires an unconventional client, one who’s willing to take-on, or can afford to ignore, one or more types of risk: privacy, comfort, efficiency, aesthetics, etc. But Japan’s experimental commissions aren’t necessarily luxury villas for a wealthy cultural elite. Many are small middle-class homes, not a typology where we expect to find bold avant garde design. So, what is it about Japan that encourages such everyday risk taking?

In the West, deviation from societal norms can jeopardize a home’s value, since it may prove impractical or distasteful to future buyers. Bold design decisions can present investment risk, so clients usually temper their personal tastes and eccentricities accordingly.

House in Saijo / Suppose Design Office. Image Courtesy of Nacasa Partners Inc. At least that’s enshrined Western logic. Safe as houses,nfl saints jerseys,right??Travel to Japan and this home truth is turned on its head, largely because the Japanese can not expect to sell their homes.

Houses in Japan rapidly depreciate like consumer durable goods – cars, fridges, golf clubs, etc. After 15 years, a home typically loses all value and is demolished on average just 30 years after being built. According to, this is a major ‘obstacle to affluence’ for Japanese families. Collectively, the write-off ?equates to an annual loss of 4% of Japan’s total GDP, not to mention mountains of construction waste.

And so, despite a shrinking population, house building remains steady. 87% of Japan’s home sales are new homes (compared with only 11-34% in Western countries). This puts the total number of new houses built in Japan on par with the US,detroit lions jerseys, despite having only a third of the population. This begs the question: why don’t the Japanese value their old homes?

Kumagai House / Hiroshi Kuno + Associates. Image Courtesy of Hiroshi Kuno + Associates Here, without wishing to resort to clichés, a little cultural background offers some insight

Firstly, Japan fetishizes newness. The frequent severity of earthquakes has taught its people not to take buildings for granted. And impermanence is an enshrined cultural and religious value (nowhere more so than at , which is rebuilt every 20 years). These oft-repeated truisms nonetheless fail to offer a sufficient economic rationale for Japan’s ingrained real estate depreciation. Its disposable attitude to housing seems to fly in the face of Western financial sense.

In the country’s rush to industrialize and rebuild cities decimated after WWII, housebuilders rapidly spawned many cheap, low quality wooden frame houses – shoddily built without insulation or proper seismic reinforcement. Older homes from this period are assumed to be substandard, or even toxic, and investing in their maintenance or improvement is considered futile. So, rather than maintain or upgrade them, most are simply torn down.

House of Awa-cho / Container Design. Image ? Eiji Tomita Depreciation is also a holdover from the collapse of Japan’s economic bubble in the late 1980’s. Then, the ballooning price of land shot up so rapidly, buildings were considered temporary installations. This perception persists today, propped-up, in part, by policies that artificially sustain land prices, despite years of economic stagnancy and population decline.

The quality of today’s typical homes – most of which are – has greatly improved, but the earlier mindset remains entrenched as market logic. Depreciation is the mantra of housing appraisers. Yet, there’s no material reason why, if properly maintained or improved, these homes couldn’t provide shelter in perpetuity, like in the West, where reselling and moving homes several times throughout one’s lifetime is commonplace.

House N / Sou Fujimoto. Image ? Iwan Baan Japan’s army of loyal salarymen enjoy secure jobs for life, and rarely move to relocate to a new job. Although this is starting to change, a stable salaried job is still a prerequisite for a mortgage, which borrowers slowly repay in full over the course of their careers. Selling up – much less profiting from the resale – is out of the question, since no one wants to buy a pre-owned home. As the salaryman dutifully slaves away to pay off the mortgage, his or her property’s value is all the while depreciating, eventually leaving only the value of the land (minus the cost of demolishing the house). In other words, negative equity is the norm. Grinding economic and, consequently,Ben Hunt On The Sentiment Gam, geographic immobility is an entrenched reality for most Japanese homeowners.

Compared with other developed economies, where, mainly, the wealthy hire architects, many more young Japanese first-time homeowners buy land and hire an architect to build their new home, perhaps because – for all the economic reasons just discussed – they’re resigned to living in it for the rest of their lives.

Wall less house / Tezuka Architects. Image ? Katsuhisa Kida / FOTOTECA So, how do Japan’s bizarre real estate economics influence its architecture? Clients need not contemplate what a potential buyer will think 8-10 years into the future. This gives them and their architects greater personal freedom.

Without property values to safeguard, Japan, generally lacks planning scrutiny or incentives to protect and preserve local character. Neighbors are largely powerless to object on aesthetic grounds to what gets built next door. This is a boon to architects’ creative license, but it also reduces the collective incentive to maintain and beautify communities by,football jerseys, say, nurturing greenery or burying overhead power lines.

The freedom to build homes that are a highly personal expression of lifestyle, taste, and aspiration, makes Japan a fertile environment for architects and their clients to test the limits of residential design.

House in Kohoku / Torafu. Image ? Daici Ano For architects, it also helps that civil lawsuits are rare. Unlike their litigation-wary European and American counterparts, Japanese architects rarely fear claims of negligence, emboldening them to take greater risks.

Japan’s younger architectural clientele may be more open to risk-taking at the behest of their architect, for whom each project presents an opportunity to test new and innovative ideas. Perhaps there’s also a measure of youthful na?veté as to the long-term consequences of design decisions that they,We Love Chewy, All We Want Is For Her To Be Honest, as end users, will have to tolerate for the rest of their lives.

House in Hiro / Suppose Design Office. Image ? Toshiyuki Yano It may seem sad that Japanese families slave, scrimp, and save to build a home, only to see their investment rapidly vanish over the ensuing 15 years. In this light, some of the avant garde houses seem like fatalistic last hurrahs – follies to the futility of home ownership in Japan. Resigned to their predicament, but needing somewhere to live and raise a family, it’s little wonder that Japanese clients reclaim control and quietly rebel in the best way they can – through design.

Besides they’ll eventually tear it all down anyway.

Peter The Roman- St. Peter’s Bones Linked To Petrus Ro

<html>As previously reported by The Inquisitr,oakland raiders jerseys, the recently. While it s impossible to make a DNA comparison, and archaeologists don t want to say for certain the skeletal remains are from Peter of the Bible, the Vatican insists there is enough evidence for a verification.

The were allegedly penned in the 1100s, but not published until 1595. This makes many believe these supposed prophecies are forgeries,[6], since description of subsequent popes tended to get vague. For example, recently retired Benedict XVI, or pope number 111, is the glory of the olive. The Benedictine Order has a branch called the Olivetans, but Joseph Ratzinger was not a member.

The Saint Malachy prophesy ends in this manner with the papal election of pope number 112: 

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations,Police responding to shooting at Lexington apartme, and when these things are finished,chicago bears jerseys, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people.

, which can be translated into farmer manly mountain Oglio. The Oglio is a tributary of the of the Po River in Italy, but it in no way ever connects to Roma, or Rome. Even his new name is translated as frenchman. So, except for being able to translate berg as a rocky mountain, Pope Francis former name has little connection to Peter the Roman.

Technically,cheap jerseys from china, since each pope takes upon themselves the mantle of Peter of the Catholic Church, which stems from the Roman Empire, all the popes could be called Peter the Roman, or Petrus Romanus. It could also be argued that Pope Francis may eventually earn a similar, or exact, nickname due to his deeds as pope. But some people resurrected the conspiracy theory by pointing out .

But where do St. Peter s bones even come into the picture?

The person in this video believes the Vatican is arranging a set up for a reincarnation of Peter and that it s not a coincidence they choose the particular day in which the bones are being shown. She thinks it s possible this somehow could lead to the rise of the false prophet as predicted in Revelation. There s also some connection made between deals the Vatican has made with Israel in this past year.

Do you think putting St. Peter s bones on display could somehow be connected to the St. Malachy prophecy concerning Peter the Roman, or Petrus Romanus?</html>

7 Animals Humans Are Driving To Extinction

<html>Michel Gunther / WWF-Canon It's hard to imagine a world in which elephants, orangutans, lions and other iconic wildlife only exist in stories, photos and zoos. But that may be where the future is heading for some of these animals. Several creatures around the world are being pushed toward extinction by humans, through hunting and habitat loss, researchers say.

, and rising demand for agricultural products and the animals themselves via poaching,texans jersey, are elbowing these iconic animals to the brink. This stark reality has become even more palpable since the United Nations issued a report this summer estimating that the global , faster than previously estimated. If these animals are to be saved, people will need to be educated about the creatures' plight, poaching must be stopped, and the animals' habitats will need to be protected, experts say.

Below, are seven animals that humans are threatening with extinction. These are just a few examples of how humans are contributing to the  in the history of the planet, according to most biologists. []

Lions

There are only about 20,000 lions left in Africa, according to Dereck Joubert, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence and filmmaker who lives among the iconic big cats in Botswana with his wife, Beverly. About 50 years ago, there were 450,000  a decline of more than 95 percent, he said. About five wild lions are killed every day throughout Africa, Joubert added.

Douglas Main Trophy hunters, mostly Americans, kill about 600 lions per year, typically males with large manes. More than 90 percent of these trophies are taken back to the United States and the activity often takes place in "canned" hunts where lions are placed in small enclosures or even cages and then shot, Joubert added. Joubert and his wife chronicle the plight of these sought-after male lions in a new film entitled "Game of Lions," airing on Nat Geo Wild at 10 p.m. ET on Dec. 1.

Leopards

Leopards have also declined by a similar magnitude, Joubert said. About 50 years ago there were 700,000 leopards, and today there are closer to 50,000. Leopards are hunted for their beautiful coats, which help to disguise them. About 5,000 leopards are killed each year, he added.

Orangutans

In Borneo and Sumatra,charlestown chiefs, large companies are destroying forests and replacing them with big swaths of palm tree monocultures (plots where only one plant is grown, which don't provide suitable habitat for most animals), threatening the future existence of orangutans, said Lee Hannah, a senior fellow in climate change biology at Conservation International, a global group devoted to saving endangered animals and their habitats. There are only about 6,000 wild orangutans left, and about 1,000 are being killed each year, primarily from habitat destruction, according to the Orangutan Project, an environmental group whose mission is to save the animals.

Rhinos

Rhino poaching has more than doubled since 2010 in South Africa, according to the country. And this year,  went extinct in the adjacent country of Mozambique, according to news reports. One rhino is shot in Africa every 9.5 hours, Joubert said.

Rhinos are desired for their horns, which are wrongly thought to be able to cure cancer and fevers, Joubert added. Horns can sell for around $30,000 per pound ($65,000 per kilogram), according to the BBC. []

Elephants

Elephants are in trouble, according to conservationists. Poaching of elephants has risen dramatically in the past few years due to soaring demand for ivory, primarily in China and Southeast Asia. Five African elephants are killed every hour, Joubert said.

There are a total of about 300,000  left, and as many as 40,000 are killed each year. With these levels, elephants won't be around for much longer, Joubert said.

Lemurs

Since humans arrived in Madagascar about 2,000 years ago,giants jersey, about 15 to 20 species of lemurs primates with foxlike faces have gone extinct, likely due to habitat loss and hunting, including species whose males grew nearly as large as gorillas, said University of Illinois primatologist Paul Garber. But this was over the course of hundreds and thousands of years. Humans are cutting down the lemurs' habitat at much faster pace now. As Malagasy human populations rise, they threaten the remaining species of lemurs and thousands of other endemic species with extinction at an accelerating rate, Garber said.

Currently, 93 lemur species are endangered, critically endangered or threatened, mostly due to the clearing of the island's forests, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a global environmental organization that's 91 percent of all lemur species for which data is available.

Sharks

About  to be made into shark fin soup, a Chinese delicacy. This trade takes the form of shark finning, in which the animals' fins are hacked off and they are thrown back into the ocean to slowly die. However,Vanderbilt beats Florida for , China's taste for the dish may be fading: According to the American environmental group WildAid, consumption of the soup is down 50 to 70 percent in the last two years.

Nevertheless, one-third of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, according to a 2009 study by the IUCN. For this reason, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) voted in March of this year to  of five threatened species.

<html>It happens to my girlfriend nearly every workout. After watching her stalk the squat rack, someone approaches her cautiously and asks her what sport or competition she's training for. "For life," she says. The reactions are mostly positive,broncos jerseys 2013, but some people are floored and can't comprehend why she does deadlifts, front squats, and chin-ups for fun. I mean, women don't train like men, right? They shouldn't lift heavy weights, right? Why would women squat, bench, or chin if they're not some kind of figure competitor or athlete or real-life, ass-kicking crime fighter? My girlfriend baffles many gym-goers because they're programmed to think women are delicate flowers who shouldn't lift heavy. These and other messages trumpeted to women 24/7 are utter garbage. The notion that women can't be strong, athletic, or lift heavy is unfortunate, silly, and simply needs to stop. Train the Same In most cases, men and women should train the same. Aesthetically speaking, I understand that men and women have varying goals, but they're actually achieved with the same programs. Men often want to be jacked or yoked, and many women want to be toned and shapely. The thing is, you can't have sexy or shapely anything without building muscle! To make muscle, you must lift weights and provide the body with ample calories to recover. Muscle won't miraculously appear from performing countless sets of 20 reps with 5-10 pound dumbbells. I don't care if you're a man, a woman,cheap nfl jersey, or a Martian.

You can't have sexy or shapely anything without building muscle! The amount of muscle and effort required to lift a weight 20 times without failing is insignificant compared to lifting a weight 6-10 times to failure. High-repetition training has its time and place, but I feel it's woefully overemphasized and leads to sub-optimal results. With rare exceptions, it's actually harder for women to build muscle because they have 10 times less testosterone than men. To overcome this, women often have to train twice as hard as men, not softer. Legs Are the Exception I take a slightly different approach with my female clients when it comes to leg training. After all, most women aren't after the "tear drop" look in their quads. If so, more power to them! In my experience, however, the second a female client can't fit into her "sexy jeans" because her quads grew two inches, I have hell to pay. To avoid this,EXCLUSIVE- Jonah Hill’s Fat Cheater Brother, I typically place more premiums on training the posterior chain with sumo or Romanian deadlift variations that target the hamstrings and barbell bridges which hammer the glutes. I still add squats to the mix, but I have female trainees take a wider stance and make sure they groove a proper hip-hinge pattern. This is accomplished by learning to sit back during the descent with your hips, rather than breaking at the knees, to place more emphasis on the quads. To target the quads,MUSIC VIDEO- RIHANNA PREMIERES “WHAT NOW” ̵, I emphasize hip-dominant exercise variations,cheap football jerseys, like reverse or lateral lunges, instead of forward lunges and step-ups. A seemingly innocuous tip like instructing a slightly more forward lean on lunges makes a big difference. Forward leaning targets the glutes and hamstrings while upright posture with vertical shins places more stress on the quads.

Barbell Glute Bridge Lifting Time There aren't many situations when women should train differently than men. Obvious circumstances such as pregnancy would involve another discussion entirely. Aside from that, women should train exactly like men with a program like this to build a powerful and beautiful body!</html>

3 Ways To Use Pumpkin That Don't Involve Pie

<html>  I’m going to be honest: I’m not really a huge fan of pumpkin pies. I don’t know if I just OD’d on them as a small child or if the deluge of pumpkin-pumpkin-everywhere advertising and recipes that fills my senses from Halloween until after Thanksgiving has just turned me against the whole thing. Truth be told,cheap football jerseys, I just can’t get down with piles of the pumpkin anymore when it comes to eating it.    Even the news that the smell of pumpkin pie is considered a turn-on for most men doesn’t do it. If that’s the case, I can sprinkle pumpkin pie spice in my lingerie drawer and let him do what comes naturally. Eating it? Mmmm, that’s a nope for me.   However,Cheap Jerseys Online, having been surrounded by cans of the stuff for about 6-8 weeks each year for the past all-of-my-life it seems, I have come to love all the OTHER things can be done with raw and/or canned pumpkin.   Pumpkin is considered a superfood, filled with vitamins A, C, and E as well as potassium, zinc and beta-carotene, which means it has insane antioxidant and nutrient properties. So, combined with a few choice ingredients, it can be more beneficial for your outsides without wreaking havoc on your waistline in pie, cookie, tart or candied form.   Here are three beauty uses for cooked-but-as-of-yet-unadulterated pumpkin that you can use to MacGyver your way into better skin and hair.    Hair Mask - I love a good hair mask, don’t you? Pry a can of cooked pumpkin away from the clutched hands of your relatives and mix about 2 cups or so with a tablespoon each of Greek yogurt, raw honey and organic coconut oil (use macadamia nut, almond oil or olive oil if that’s all you have on hand.) Add the ingredients to a blender in order from thick to thin (pumpkin and yogurt go in first, then honey and oil) and blend until smooth.   Then apply to wet hair and work the mixture in well, paying extra attention to the scalp. Cover your hair with a shower cap for 15-30 minutes and then shampoo and condition as usual. The pumpkin and yogurt help clarify the scalp, while the honey and oil act as natural humectants.   Facial Mask - Let’s say you’ve got some serious redness the day after Thanksgiving thanks to an unauthorized, ill-advised move from wine at dinner to vodka with dessert. Combine 2-3 tablespoons of cooked pumpkin with a tablespoon each of honey and whole milk. Mix them together until they’re smooth,nfl saints jerseys, then apply the mixture to clean skin with clean hands or a large makeup brush.   The pumpkin mixture can help soothe any redness and will work with the lactic acid in the milk to gently exfoliate while the honey locks in moisture. Let the mask dry for 20 minutes,Go inside the ‘Hunger Games’-, then remove with a warm, damp wash cloth. Drink water,Albany County supervisors find it’s a good year to be the incumbent, take Advil, emerge a new human.   Body Scrub - Sometimes, the only thing that will wash away the strange feeling of When Bad Relatives Happen to Good People is a shower, which is made better with a pumpkin body scrub to soften your skin while enjoying the last bits of holiday memories as they wash down the drain. Mix 1/2 cup each of cooked pumpkin puree and organic brown sugar with a tablespoon each of honey and olive oil, mix and apply with gentle pressure. Your skin will be softer and your mind will be calm enough to sleep a little or phone a friend.   Do you have some other favorite uses for pumpkin that I’ve missed that don’t involve ingesting or baking? Do tell in the comments section.                </html>

Justin Bieber Gets Softcore Cinematic In ‘All That Mat

<html>The snippet arrived Tuesday courtesy of Vevo. In it, the singer and Cali model Cailin Russo, also 19, are seen deep in first base on a set that looks like a mash up of Blade Runner and a Whitesnake rock video set back in the day.

In short; it s salty,great jerseys online, sexy, and downright cinematic.

Shot on Nov. 17 in Los Angeles, after the shoot Tilley , Created Pure art w @justinbieber today #AllThatMatters,seattle seahawks jersey,Two gas lines rupture in Belleview, itself an intriguing statement for the director of an R B video to make.

Bieber and Tilley (who has just helmed Rick Ross feat. Future on No Games ), previously worked together on videos for Never Let You Go and U Smile in 2010, also Fa La La, the then 17-year-old s Christmas duet with Boyz II Men in 2011, so there s a familiar ease there.


In addition, earlier this month reported the chemistry between the teen singer and Russo was pretty intense, while a source added the model was really surprised how super easy it was to work with him. They had a really fun shoot!

All in all, it bodes well for a potentially nuanced take on when the full video drops on December 2.

Meanwhile, Bieber s #MusicMondays are coming to a close. To date, fans and listeners have been taken on an eight week canter through the pop prince s cathartic R B Journals.


From the pretty pain of Heartbreaker to lean longing in All That Matters,Mark Wahlberg Says Navy SEALs Had ‘Free Reign’ On The ‘Lone Su, (Yeah, yeah, what s a king bed without a queen/There ain t no I in team / To make me complete You re all that matters to me erotica of Hold Tight reflection in Recovery, Bad Day and All Bad a balls-out and the kinetic funk of this week s ) like Justin s year, it s been quite the ride.

On the upside, more and more critics, notably ,football jerseys, are bucking the bandwagon of mealy-mouthed criticisms of the Canadian s music based on everything but his music, and instead looking forward to the heightened musical possibilities of Bieber s 2014.

Which, after all, is all that matters.

This Car Nut Owns 5 Bugatti Veyrons, Don't Ask Why

<html>There are plenty of car collections scattered across the globe, and they range greatly in terms of their value, quality, and quantity.

MUST SEE:

They also range greatly in terms of their accessibility. Some folks are happy to share what they've got and celebrate their own collections. Look at the Mullin Museum in Oxnard, California, or the Marconi Museum that's also in California, just a bit further south. Other collections become the stuff of legend as they are housed behind large doors and locked off from the outside world.

Somewhere in between that wide range sits the following collection, which was captured on video by YouTube user 4WheelsofLux.

It's an extremely high-end exotic assembly of vehicles, and it's an expensive and impressive one at that. An Aston Martin One-77 shares the floor with a sea of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Ferrari products. The very first 599XX is on display, as is an ultra-rare Porsche 911 GT1. A Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR roadster is parked near a Maserati MC12,cheap basketball jerseys, while a Lamborghini Reventon sits angrily awaiting a drive.

MUST SEE:

Those vehicles alone would add serious value to any collection. It's the five (five!) Bugatti Veyron examples,nba cheap jerseys, however,cheap jerseys from china,Cats cruise over Robert Morris, 87, that push this collection into the price stratosphere. Why five you ask? Well, it appears that each is a different Veyron version that Bugatti offered up, including a Pur Sang and a Sang Noire. So if you're going to collect something as extraordinary as Bugatti Veyrons... you may as well collect them all.??

Why The Knicks Aren't Doomed

<html>Maddie Meyer/Getty Images The  have lost seven straight games and find themselves at 3-11 on the season. That's ... not good. They had their second team meeting of the season -- it's still November! -- and close out the month in Denver,Man arrested in Lexington home invasion, a tough place to win, on Friday. Over the last three seasons, only one team -- the 2012-13  -- have had a 7-game losing streak and still made the playoffs. And that's a horribly low bar for a team like the Knicks, who fancied themselves title contenders.

But there are some small reasons for optimism.

THE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN TOUGH The Knicks have played the toughest schedule among all Eastern Conference teams to date, per . New York has played five Western Conference teams already, four of which (, , Blazers and Rockets) seem like sure-bet playoff squads and the other (Wolves) which will be on the cusp if not in. The Knicks have gone 0-5 against those teams.

That 3-6 record against the East isn't too attractive, though. But the Knicks do have a couple of road wins (Charlotte, Atlanta), so ... you know, it's not all bad. The road loss to the  and home loss to the  are the team's only two egregious losses of the season. The team isn't losing consistently to horrible teams: it's losing consistently to good teams and occasionally to horrible teams. As the Knicks get to play more horrible teams, that record will improve.

Speaking of which ...

THE EAST IS STILL HORRIBLE The Knicks have played nine games against the East. Thankfully, New York gets 43 more. The East in the aggregate has been pretty awful this season. Miami and Indiana are 6-0 against the West; the rest of the East is a combined 14-50 against the West. The Knicks have been abused by the East a little bit so far, as noted above. But there's plenty of time to make it up against a mostly crummy bunch.

Related to that ...

SOME EAST TEAMS AHEAD OF NEW YORK WANT TO LOSE Right now, Boston, Orlando, Philadelphia and Charlotte are all ahead of the Knicks in the standings. Three of those teams want no part of the playoffs. The Bobcats pose an interesting question; the playoffs likely weren't in the team's plans coming into the season, but Charlotte might not actively attempt to choose the lottery over the postseason if it's an option. They've been beaten down long enough. If the so-called "tank teams" realize they are flying a little too close to the sun, we could see some trades to make them worse. That makes them easier marks for the Knicks when they play (four times each in the case of Philly and Boston) and easier to catch in the standings.

J.R. SMITH IS NOT POSSIBLY THIS BROKEN Three Knicks have vastly underperformed expectations this season: ,  and Raymond Felton. Felton is injured. When he's well, you'd expect him to bounce back toward the level of acceptable starting point guard. Shump has been plagued by trade rumors and a wound-up coach; it's all clearly rattled him. The fix is probably to trade him. Luckily, he seems to have fans around the league. But Smith ... man,giants jersey,4chan's moot creates webcam s, he's been horrid. And there's no possible way this will stick. Thirty-two percent shooting? Thirteen points per 36 minutes? No way.

Last season, Smith earned 0.968 points per field goal attempt. This season, he's at 0.788. He's taking 13 FGAs per game. So he's leaving about 2.3 points per game on the table just by shooting poorly. Add those into the Knicks' total and the offense would rank right around No. 19 in the league, not No. 24. The Knicks' scoring margin would go from -6.7 (No. 26 in the league) to -4.4 (No. 24). Small steps, I suppose, but the team would be slightly more respectable.

TYSON CHANDLER WILL BE BACK  is due back in the next 1-3 weeks. That's good not just because Chandler is a fine player. It's good because the Knicks' other centers are hideous, especially defensively.  has been hitting shots at a good clip,jerseys online, and he did shut down ol' , but it's usually not pretty when he's on the floor. The same applies to . I struggle to get a bead on where Kenyon Martin's defense is these days -- sometimes it looks right, sometimes it looks quite the opposite. (He's at 4.4 fouls per 36 minutes.) Regardless, Chandler is better. In addition, he can put some efficient points on the board on pick-and-roll setups. If Felton gets healthy, too, that's a boost for the offense.

WHOLESALE CHANGE IS, PERHAPS, A FIRED COACH AWAY Let's face it:  hasn't exactly handled things terribly well this season.  was wildly successful as a power forward last season; he has started at small forward eight times this season, despite the Knicks have a totally dilapidated frontline replete with guys who probably shouldn't be playing much. It's hard to imagine Shumpert being handled worse this season, and even Smith -- usually comfortable so long as he has the ball and a glimpse at the rim -- has looked out of place after Woodson gave him a few starts. The team defense looks sub-AAU. The offense is stagnant despite a bunch of weapons being available. And the only Knick who doesn't seem totally morose right now --  --  on Thursday.

"I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said. "I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here."

That must make Woodson feel real warm and fuzzy.

Woodson doesn't have to go. But we have evidence with this core of players how much a coaching change matters. In fact, Woodson is that evidence! The club was 18-24 in 2011-12 when Mike D'Antoni was fired and replaced by Woodson; the Knicks went 18-6 the rest of the way and magically peeled a game off of Miami in the playoffs.

So if things don't improve once Chandler returns, the schedule eases up and Smith has more recovery time, the Knicks' leadership can look at the available free agent coaches and see if there's a fit. (Spark those  non-rumor rumors.  is probably more reasonable. Hell, maybe  will be available.) It's not a foolproof fix -- just because Melo and the crew turned it around under Woodson two years ago doesn't mean it'd happen again. In-season coaching changes have a mixed history of effectiveness. But it's an option for the club.

If none of that matters and the Knicks continue to be an embarrassment as we approach the February trade deadline, things get more dire. I'm not sure James Dolan's infamous ego will let him pawn off Melo so long as Melo claims he'll consider re-signing in July. But you can bet the back pages of the tabloids will raise the question frequently if things don't improve by the New Year. I think they will,texans jersey, and the Knicks will end up a second-tier East playoff team, somewhere around the No. 5 seed. Which, all told, is probably where they belonged all along.</html>

Many Americans plan less holiday spending, survey says

<html>The 16-day partial federal government shutdown in October may be one factor that soured the mood for consumers heading into the crucial end-of-the-year holiday shopping season.

Although financial worries related to the shutdown have disappeared and recent reports have indicated the economic recovery is strengthening,Eddie Lacy Jerseys, many people still are hesitant to spend, said Greg McBride,Mandela visit to Miami Beach sparked black boycott, Bankrate.com's senior financial analyst.

NASA selects SpaceX to take over historic launchpad

<html>It s likely to be the place where the next chapter of manned spaceflight will play out, with NASA's plan to outsource space missions to privately funded companies now that the U.S. fleet of space shuttles is retired.

SpaceX has already taken on the task of hauling cargo to the International Space Station,Sidney Rice #18 Jersey, having made three flights out of 12 to restock the orbiting laboratory. The company has a $1.6-billion contract with NASA to do so.

The next phase is carrying astronauts. Last year,Chargers Get Giant Win, Keep , SpaceX won $440 million from NASA to make its spacecraft astronaut-ready.

SpaceX's capsule is designed to carry seven astronauts. The company is aiming for a manned test flight by 2015.

SpaceX, officially named Space Exploration Technologies Corp., won out on the pad over Blue Origin, a little-known aerospace company founded by Amazon.com founder .

Blue Origin, based in Kent, Wash.,Eddie Lacy Jerseys, wanted to lease the launchpad and protested earlier this year when NASA asked for proposals -- it said NASA gave SpaceX an unfair advantage.

The Government Accountability Office and on Thursday denied Blue Origin s protest.

In a statement, SpaceX said it will gladly accommodate other commercial providers interested in using launch complex 39A for NASA human-rated orbital spaceflight.

NASA said it will begin working with SpaceX to negotiate the terms of its lease for the pad. During those negotiations, the agency said, it will not discuss details of the lease agreement.

Meanwhile,Borderland Beat- CDG Hangs two Young Girls with Me,white Eddie Lacy Jerseys, NASA said it is hard at work assembling the spacecraft and preparing its infrastructure for the Space Launch System rocket.
