LOS ANGELES—Ty Lawson and Jordan Hamilton scored 15 points apiece, and the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 97-88 Sunday night in their preseason debut under new coach Brian Shaw.
Pau Gasol had 13 points and four rebounds in his preseason debut for the Lakers. Steve Nash had six assists in 22 scoreless minutes before going to the locker room in the third quarter of his own exhibition debut.
JaVale McGee had 12 points and seven assists for the Nuggets, who committed 28 turnovers and 33 fouls. They still won a poorly played game by both teams for Shaw, the longtime Lakers guard and assistant coach.
Xavier Henry had 15 points in his second high-scoring game for the Lakers.
Gasol and Nash sat out the Lakers' exhibition opener in Ontario on Saturday night when Los Angeles snapped a 10-game exhibition winless streak over the last three years. The Lakers rested Jordan Farmar and Chris Kaman against Denver in their plan to keep their veterans fresh during the preseason.
Marcus Landry scored 13 points for the Lakers, who must play four preseason games in six days before a weeklong trip to China for two more exhibitions against Golden State.
Kobe Bryant is highly unlikely to play for the Lakers in the preseason while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, and Shaw—a Bryant confidante—said he thinks Kobe will miss the season opener Oct. 29 against the Clippers.
Shaw won three NBA titles as a Lakers guard, and he earned two more rings while spending seven seasons as an assistant. He was a popular candidate among fans to replace Phil Jackson two seasons ago, but the Buss family chose Mike Brown—and when Brown was fired early last season, the Busses bypassed Shaw again to hire Mike D'Antoni.
Instead, the Nuggets hired Shaw in June to replace George Karl, who was fired despite winning a franchise-record 57 games and his first NBA Coach of the Year award after Denver's first-round exit from the playoffs.
Wesley Johnson left the game in the first half with a strained left foot and didn't return for the Lakers. The fourth-year pro, who will have an MRI on Monday, is trying to earn a spot after three disappointing NBA seasons in Minnesota and Phoenix.
The Lakers went through a 1-for-15 shooting stretch in the first half and finished 15 for 51, but Denver committed 16 turnovers while taking a 46-44 halftime lead. Evan Fournier scored nine points before halftime for the Nuggets.

About These New Puritans
Hailing from the town of Southend, England, the four-piece These New Puritans play Fall- and PiL-inspired music that also takes on elements of electronica and dance. Comprised of vocalist Jack Barnett (who also plays the guitar and laptop), his twin brother and drummer George, keyboardist Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, and bassist (and man behind the sampler) Thomas Hein, the band formed in 2006, when all the members were still in their teens. Their edgy aesthetic and particular live show (Jack, for example, usually performed wearing a shirt fully buttoned to his neck) soon brought the group attention from the British press, enough that soon-to-be-former Christian Dior designer Hedi Slimane asked Barnett to compose something for his fall 2007 collection for Dior Homme, a piece, "Navigate, Navigate," that was then debuted in Paris in February at the fashion show. In October of that same year, These New Puritans issued an EP, Now Pluvial, on Angular Records. Their first U.S. release. "Navigate, Navigate," came out in America in February 2008, a 12" that acted as a primer for their debut full-length, Beat Pyramid, which emerged the following month. The follow-up album Hidden, which was co-produced by Graham Sutton of Bark Psychosis, was released in early 2010. Undergoing some transformations, including the departure of Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, the band returned with the very untraditional but well received Field of Reeds in 2013. ~ Marisa Brown

Kourabiedes (Greek shortbread biscuits)
If you're ever in that neck of the woods I can heartily recommend the grilled Snapper:
Here endeth the pretentious bit.
Technically these little biscuits are classified as dessert but I don't see the need to be inconvenienced by limiting them to a post-prandial time slot. They are closest to a shortbread biscuit but that's not really a good description. Using icing sugar always makes a biscuit deliciously soft and refined in texture. The addition of ground almonds makes them moist and the dash of brandy adds a depth of flavour – you wouldn't honestly know that it was brandy, they don't taste alcoholic, but you know there's something extra there.
Here they are fresh from the oven – don't overcook them as you'll lose the crumbly softness:
I think they benefit from a light dusting of icing sugar. They look ever so pretty:
Here they are in the tin ready to be taken visiting (and meet their doom but they don't know that yet!):
Crumbly and moist, as all the best biscuits should be, these are also very quick to make. I think it's traditional that they are crescent shaped – and why not?
250g unsalted butter
80g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brandy (you could omit this but add more vanilla to replace the liquid)
1 egg yolk
375g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
100g ground almond
Sifted icing sugar for dusting
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease or line two baking sheets. This volume will make between 30-40 biscuits.
- Beat the butter and icing sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla, brandy and egg, then beat until combined.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder and almonds. Only fold until you sense the mix is about to come together into a dough.
- Take tablespoons of the mix and roll in your hands until you have made a fat sausage. Curve it slightly into a crescent and place on the baking sheet. The biscuits expand a little but not greatly so you can put them quite close.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Traditionally the biscuits are dusted with icing sugar before serving.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Jurors took about 3.5 hours to reach verdict; Moore sentenced to life.
TAMPA | A jury in Tampa on Monday night found Dorice "DeeDee" Moore guilty of the first-degree murder of Lakeland lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.
Hillsborough Circuit Judge Emmett Lamar Battles immediately sentenced Moore, 40, to life in prison for the 2009 slaying.
Battles called Moore "the most manipulative person" he has seen.
"Abraham Shakespeare was your prey and your victim," Battles told her.
The judge said that the words "cold," "calculated" and "cruel" applied to Shakespeare's killing.
Moore, who has often been animated during testimony at her trial, crying and shaking her head, showed little emotion when the verdict was read. She slightly shook her head.
Jurors announced their verdict at 7:39 p.m.
They began their deliberations at 4:12 p.m., after prosecutors and Moore's defense lawyers provided detailed closing arguments in the high-profile case that has drawn national media attention.
Assistant State Attorney Jay Pruner told jurors there was "overwhelming circumstantial" evidence in the case against Moore.
Moore was a businesswoman with a thriving nurse staffing company, but Moore wanted more money and set her sights on Shakespeare, Pruner said.
"It wasn't enough for her," Pruner said. "Greed. Simple everyday greed motivated her, flowed through her veins."
He described Moore as a manipulative killer who found a way to get "her hooks" into Shakespeare by preying upon his fears of losing his dwindling fortune in a pending child support case.
Shakespeare, 43, won a $17 million lump-sum lottery payment in 2006. By late 2008, he had given away or loaned the majority of his winnings. He was left with more than $1 million, a Lakeland mansion, and various outstanding loans to friends and acquaintances.
Moore met Shakespeare in October 2008, ostensibly to write a book about his life, but a witness later testified she also was interested in possibly turning Shakespeare into authorities for tax evasion and perhaps claim a reward, Pruner said.
Moore quickly sized up Shakespeare as "easy pickings" and a "cash cow."
"And milk him she did," Pruner said.
She tricked Shakespeare into thinking that she would help hide his assets and led him around like a "puppy dog" with a treat, he said.
"He was illiterate," Pruner said. "He was not sophisticated in financial matters."
Shakespeare eventually got suspicious when he could no longer access his remaining cash, he said.
"She knew what she had to do," Pruner said.
After killing Shakespeare, Moore conducted an "elaborate, detailed" campaign for months to conceal what happened to him, Pruner said.
He was last seen alive in April 2009. He wasn't reported missing until November 2009.
Pruner described Moore spreading rumors of Shakespeare's whereabouts, including that he was getting treatment for AIDS, was on a cruise or was staying away because he was afraid there an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
Moore typed a letter purportedly from Shakespeare to his mother, and she instructed his friend, Greg Smith, to impersonate Shakespeare in a telephone call to his mother, according to trial testimony.
Detectives built a case against Moore by using Smith as a confidential informant. Smith secretly recorded conversations with Moore.
Investigative reports state Moore offered to pay an undercover officer $50,000 to take the blame for Shakespeare's disappearance. She later revealed the location of Shakespeare's body to Smith and handed over a .38-caliber revolver that detectives think was the murder weapon.
His body was found Jan. 28, 2010, buried underneath a concrete slab behind a Plant City home that Moore had purchased. He had been shot twice in the chest.
Outside the jury's presence, Judge Battles scolded Moore for crying while her lawyer gave his closing argument.
"That is to stop," the judge warned her. Moore replied that she understood.
Her lawyer, Byron Hileman, told jurors that circumstantial evidence can often be interpreted in different ways.
"Circumstantial cases can be strong or not so strong," Hileman said.
He suggested his client's actions were the behavior of a "desperate, panicked, perhaps emotionally unstable woman" stuck in a terrible conundrum.
"There is no question that DeeDee Moore did lots of things to try to persuade folks that Mr. Shakespeare was either alive or at a certain other place for certain other reasons," Hileman said.
Moore told detectives that she bought Shakespeare's assets at "a very good discount," and he left town because he wanted to be left alone from people who were after his money.
Investigators didn't find financial records to show Moore paid Shakespeare for his assets. Moore told detectives that she paid Shakespeare in cash.
Moore did not take the witness stand to testify on her own behalf. Her lawyers did not call any other witnesses.
Hileman told jurors that Moore was "extremely fearful" of the real killers — dangerous drug dealers who had threatened Moore and her teenage son. They knew she would be the prime suspect so they framed her, he said.
Hileman asked jurors to consider that Moore consistently maintained that she felt threatened by the real killers — even in her secretly recorded conversations with Smith.
He urged jurors to consider whether Smith's intention to work with detectives as a confidential informant was to deflect any suspicion away from himself and avoid having to repay a $63,000 loan from Shakespeare.
Moore took steps to make it appear Shakespeare was still alive and attempted to get someone else to take the blame for his disappearance because she was afraid of the real killers and also being charged with Shakespeare's slaying, Hileman said.
Moore has never admitted to shooting Shakespeare. Investigative reports state she has claimed other people are responsible, including Shakespeare's cousin, her teenage son and drug dealers — in particular one named "Ronald."
Smith testified that Moore instructed him to buy a cellphone under the name "Ronald Watson" and call her with it to leave phone records of "Ronald" calling Moore.
Pruner called "Ronald" a fake character that sprang from Moore's imagination as a fictional fall guy for her criminal acts.
"Ronald is, in fact, all of her bad conduct," Pruner said.
He insisted Moore was behind the killing and spent months covering it up to avoid being brought to justice, not to protect herself or her son from vicious drug dealers.
"It wasn't done out of fear," he said.
Moore asked her ex-husband, James Moore, to dig a hole for some debris, but she used the hole to bury Shakespeare's body, Pruner said.
Moore then paid a concrete-pouring company to put a slab over the location where the hole had been, according to investigative reports.
Pruner told jurors that Moore knew details about the condition of Shakespeare's body, including that he wouldn't have any shoes on and a white substance to aid in the decaying process would be on his remains.
He reminded jurors that Moore took video footage of Shakespeare talking about leaving town. Pruner played the recording of Moore interviewing Shakespeare about where he might go.
He asked jurors to consider how the clothing Shakespeare is wearing on the video closely resembles what clothing was on his body.
He suggested Moore took the video on the night of Shakespeare's killing as a way to establish an alibi for him being missing and to back up her later claims that Shakespeare voluntarily disappeared.

An Italophile Couple's Cozy Vermont Cottage
When I first read about Caleb Barber and Deirdre Heekin, I felt an immediate kinship. Two decades ago, the couple behind the design firm Studio Due spent a year in Tuscany and it forever changed their lives. As a young college student, I lived in Bologna for several months and it changed my life too — I'm certain that an important part of who I am is attributable to cultural osmosis. But this couple? They've made a career of la dolce vita.
The husband-and-wife design team also owns a restaurant and wine bar in Woodstock, along with vineyards, a winery, and organic gardens. Everything Studio Due does, including their memoir/cookbook In Late Winter We Ate Pears, is a testament to the Italian lifestyle. If I could sum up that lifestyle based on my personal experience, it would be enjoyment. Your home, your food, your life: Slow down and enjoy them!
What I admire about Caleb and Deirdre's house is how personal, effortless and lived-in it feels. I'm also impressed that their kitchen is only 88 square feet and they manage to throw dinner parties for 25 guests. They definitely make the most of what they've got. And that garden! And guesthouse!
There's an Italian proverb that I've always adored: "A ogni uccello il suo nido è bello." It means: To every bird, his own nest is beautiful. As long as you make your home about you and your lifestyle, it will make you happy. That's something this couple clearly has figured out, and something I try to remember every day.
Click through to House Beautiful for more photos. The interview with Studio Due ("due" means "two") is also worth a read.

With quick political answers unlikely, immigration issues will likely dog agricultural producers for quite some time.
With a new season approaching, sharp divisions between parties in Congress, along with politicians' reluctance to alienate ever more important Hispanic voters, leaves growers worried about harvest labor in an unsettled position.
Attendees at the annual meeting of the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association (FFVA) in Naples heard that a workable solution to the immigration dilemma remains out of reach for Washington D.C., policy makers.
"It's hard to see a way forward where we're going to have a certainty of a legal workforce. It's very frustrating," Adam Putnam, Florida agriculture commissioner said.
"From a labor standpoint, I just don't see much good going on out there. We need a single smart national immigration policy — not 50 not-so-smart policies. But that's where we're headed."
Craig Regelbrugge, the American Nursery & Landscape Association's vice president for government relations and research, spoke about the immigration problem at a general session, noting widespread confusion and disagreement about the issue.
"We need a 21st century program with a new visa specific to ag work, and probably longer visa terms," he says.
"It probably needs to be portable so it belongs to the worker. That worker then could move among employers."
The idea is popular with some policy-makers, which
Regelbrugge finds encouraging.
"It is very important that we get the details right," he says. "We cannot solve the problem without dealing with the current work force. There's no other way to do it, logistically."
Workers who have been in the U.S. for a long period of time, with families and community ties, may need a different solution than more recent illegal immigrants, he says.
Regelbrugge thinks a program tying agricultural workers with well-educated high-tech workers and people without legal documents who were brought to the U.S. at a young age by parents could be beneficial to agriculture.
"There is a debate now going on in Congress with a competing vision on how to provide visas for smart people — advanced degree graduates. At the end of the day, we've got to press the point that, yes, we need those skilled workers, and we also need farm workers. We need both ends of the economic spectrum.
"Even though we need those smart people in high-tech jobs, we have to remember that this nation was built on the labor of people at the other end of the spectrum, but our immigration process no longer allows it," he says.
Little will be accomplished on labor policy during the congressional lame duck session, Regelbrugge predicts.
"If you look at the list of issues before them — like passing a farm bill, which they can't even agree on — it's hard to get terribly excited about the path for immigration reform in the lame duck session," he says.
"Some believe that getting something done in the first 60 days to 80 days of 2013 is a possibility. It is obviously going to be shaped by who comes out on top in the election."
Extremists from either end of the political spectrum will do little to advance a solution, he says, noting that agriculture will be best served by centrist policies.
"Our job has always been to find ar easoned middle and build out," he says. "That's what we have to do, which is why no one of us will get exactly what we want."
Regelbrugge made certain to show that his sentiments, complete with visual illustrations, lie with the Republican Party during this election season. If President Obama wins re-election, he will pursue immigration reform, he says.
Second term issue
"His chief of staff has said from day one that this is a second term issue, something to do in an odd-numbered year. Will he have a Congress that plainly wants to give him anything that looks like a victory on the issue? He may consider some type of administrative action."
On the other hand, Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate, favors E-Verify legislation requiring employers to document legal workers, Regelbrugge says.
"He supports more visas for smart people, for high-tech workers. The rest of it is unclear. In the campaign, he ran to the right on immigration because that was the only thing he could run to the right on."
If Romney gets elected, his administration could be so involved with other issues, like health care, that it would be reluctant to do anything with immigration policy, Regelbrugge says.
He thinks many members of Congress now understand agriculture's stance on immigration, thanks to lobbying efforts by his group and others in the industry.
"There has been quite a seachange in Washington. We can go into any Republican office and they see there's a problem with agriculture (and immigration reform). We've made our case. I really do believe we gained ground," he says.
Incremental reform, with high-tech workers, young undocumented immigrants and agriculture workers being lumped together, is more likely than comprehensive changes in policy, Regelbrugge says.
"Comprehensive immigration reform as an objective has become so over-loaded, with such political stakes, that no one will risk giving the other side a victory.
"One question is that, if Congress passed reform, would government as an institution have the capacity to implement it? That's why I think it could go smaller, to incremental policy, with ag and a few other things in it," he says.
Regelbrugge criticized the increased use of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) I-9 audits under the Obama administration.
They solve littleand punish both employers and workers, he says, allowing some newly unemployed workers to be lured or forced into illegal activities by Mexican drug cartels.
ICE stepped up I-9 audits under the current administration rather than use worksite raids and deportation as it did under the George W. Bush administration.
Employers must keep on file an I-9 form for each worker, making them responsible for documentation. Regelbrugge says ICE has recently been auditing dairies, packinghouses and fruit farms in other areas. He knows of none, so far, in Florida.
He encouraged Florida farmers to align with evangelical churches on immigration. With many Hispanic members now in evangelical congregations, those churches have come out with a position much like that favored by growers, Regelbrugge says.
"They now have something called the Evangelical Immigration Table, which includes Hispanic churches, the Southern Baptist Convention, and Focus on the Family.
"These are our emerging allies. You're going to see more of us asking you to do political work where you've got a pastor by your side. You seem less self-serving when it's not just you doing it," he says.
Other allies include law enforcement personnel opposed to the ICE I-9 audits, and large companies involved with food supply, Regelbrugge says.
He thinks agriculture's message on immigration should be targeted to the "broad middle" of the U.S. population, which so far is unpersuaded on the issue.

I've been working on my first asp.net application and for the most part it's been pretty smooth. Right now I'm having trouble getting reporting services working under SQL Server 2005. I developed the site with Visual Studio 2010 and didn't think about any of the .Net 4.0 compatibility issues that have arisen. I'm having no problems with the site communicating with SQL Server 2005 for the regular database stuff. The only problem I'm having is with setting up Reporting Services. I have the .Net 4.0 framework installed on the server, however Reporting Services is still using 2.x. I'm not sure if this is a problem with SSRS or with IIS. When i go to localhost/Reports it's reading my web.config for my application and throwing an error: "Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'." This is referring to a line in my web.config where targetFramework is set to 4.0.

On Nov. 22, 1963, George Phenix stood behind a camera as President John F. Kennedy stepped off of Air Force One.
On Nov. 22, 1963, George Phenix stood behind a camera as President John F. Kennedy stepped off of Air Force One. He filmed as screaming and excited crowds shook the president's hand as he worked his way down the rope line.
As Kennedy's limousine drove away toward the parade route, Phenix thought his work in the field was done for the day.
Less than an hour later, Phenix was on his way to Parkland Hospital. The images are still burned into his mind 50 years later. Traveling with a military general he did not know, Phenix learned that Kennedy had been shot.
He had been a reporter with KRLD in Dallas for just six weeks when he was assigned to film a portion of the president's parade route. It was a four-man job that day for the television/radio station. Phenix, Bob Huffaker, Bill Mercer and Wes Wise were tasked with different portions of the parade route.
The four reporters came together 10 years ago to write a book, "When the News Went Live — Dallas 1963." The book's foreword was written by former CBS news anchor Dan Rather.
With little reporting experience, Phenix relied on instincts in the aftermath of a tragedy that shocked the nation.
"Communication was pretty primitive in those days," he said. "You're 24 years old, your president has just been shot and you have to work."
Instinctively, Phenix went to work when he arrived at the chaotic scene at Parkland. Just an hour earlier, he was filming a smiling president on a sunny day in front of an adoring crowd.
The scene at Parkland was the exact opposite.
"I filmed a lot of the stuff around the perimeter — the open limousine, the roses on the floorboard," he said. He filmed the remaining blood splatters that weren't wiped away by a Secret Service agent.
The feeling that overwhelmed him was numbness, he said. The four reporters didn't get a chance to grieve with the nation. Instead, they were recording history.
And that's what the book is. It's not for glory or dollars.
"We didn't do it for the money," Phenix said. "We did it for the history."
Phenix, who retired to Hendersonville, has spent much of October and November in Dallas for the anniversary. The four writers will be speaking at the Sixth Floor Museum, housed in the former Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald fired his rifle that day.
The assassination day was just the beginning of four days of turmoil, Phenix said.
He spent the next few days covering the police station and Oswald. The police department would walk Oswald through a hallway on the third floor of the police headquarters for photographers and reporters to photograph and question.
"It was rough in that hallway," Phenix said, adding that the hallway was filled with reporters from all over the world.
Two days after Oswald was arrested, he was being moved to a county jail. Phenix was in the garage of police headquarters when Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby made his way through the media and shot Oswald.
Phenix photographed a clip that Dan Rather pointed to on air. The scene raised questions about whether Oswald knew Ruby. The footage shows Ruby passing in front of his camera and Oswald turning toward him as if he recognized him. The footage sparked conspiracy theories, Phenix said.
Phenix went on to cover parts of the Ruby trial before leaving the station after a year to be a political lobbyist. He spent the rest of his career as a lobbyist and speech writer, and then ran the largest Texas newsletter — Texas Weekly — before retiring.
When he was asked to write some chapters for the book, he wasn't sure he would be able to. After thinking about it for four days, he finally sat down to write, and the memories flowed faster and clearer than he thought they would. He remembered the happiness that surrounded Love Airport as Kennedy landed.
"There was so much excitement," he said. "My heart was pumping so fast."
It was the first time he'd ever met a president.
Even more vivid than that happiness was the sadness he discovered at Parkland Hospital and in the days after the assassination. In less than an hour, a reporter, a city and the world went from joy to grief.
"(I) wish it hadn't happened," Phenix said. "The world would've been a better place."

The first is the three-mile elevation difference between the northern lowlands and southern highlands, known as the Crustal Dichotomy, which got the name because the highlands and lowlands are underlain by thick and thin crust, respectively. The second feature is the vast area of high elevation with numerous volcanoes near the equator covering a quarter of the Martian surface, known as the Tharsis Rise.
For a moment consider the tectonic plates that make up the crust of the Earth, including the way they move around the planet, rising from below as molten rock and dipping back down under the surface to melt and complete the chain. Earth is the only planet known to scientists that has this mechanism for moving huge sections of the planet's surface great distances. This movement accounts for, among other things, the chain of land masses that form the Hawaiian Islands. As the Pacific Plate moves over a plume of molten rock, the islands formed, one after another.
This is not the case on Mars, which appears to have a single plate that encapsulates the entire planet like the shell of an egg. But Shijie Zhong, associate professor of physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, thinks this shell-like plate might be moving, driven by a powerful, single plume of hot material affecting the area of the thickened crust of the Crustal Dichotomy. This would explain the migration of volcanic activity in the Tharsis Rise region of the formation of Tharsis, he said.
The possibility of a large-scale, horizontal motion of the outer shell of Mars or similar terrestrial planets and moons has not been previously demonstrated, Zhong said. Using three-dimensional numerical models to simulate the slow churning of Mars' interior in response to the cooling of the planet, Zhong shows in the Dec. 14 issue of Nature Geoscience that a single plume of hot material rising through the planet's interior led to the earliest volcanism in the highlands region of the Crustal Dichotomy, simultaneously triggering rotation of the outer shell. As the shell moved southward over the stationary plume -- like a sheet of cardboard over a candle -- it shifted the location of the volcanism and created the Tharsis Rise.
Zhong said a very specific set of circumstances had to fall into place to get rotation of the outer shell to occur. First, he said an area of thickened crust needed to form on the planet's surface. "It is almost universally accepted that the Crustal Dichotomy with the thickened crust in the highlands formed in the first few hundred million years of Mars' existence, and the Tharsis Rise was only formed a few hundred million years later," said Zhong.
Scientists know this because the Tharsis region is nearly devoid of impact sites, unlike the pockmarked surface of the Crustal Dichotomy. "You don't see so many craters," said Zhong. "It's been resurfaced."
Within this smooth environment, obvious features pop from the surface. Volcanoes, in a straight line, mark the Tharsis Rise. One, Olympus Mons -- a still active volcano -- reaches 15 miles into the Martian sky.
"All the faulting, tectonics and volcanics on Mars in the last 4 billion years happen here, in the Tharsis Rise region," said Zhong.
The second condition is the one-plume convection in the mantle. For the last 10 years, Zhong and his collaborators have studied physical mechanisms for one-plume convection to explain hemispherically asymmetric structures known to have existed for terrestrial planets, including the Crustal Dichotomy and Tharsis Rise on Mars, Supercontinents Pangea and Rodinia on Earth, and mare basalts on the Moon.
Zhong's theory is that a single plume of hot material is jetting from the core of Mars out toward the surface. Where it breaks through, on the Tharsis Rise, it causes volcanoes. But it is the affect that the rising, super-heated material has on the neighboring Crustal Dichotomy's thickened shell that makes the shell of Mars move relative to the underlying mantle and the plume.
"The mechanism I'm describing here is a path to unify the two major features of Mars: the Tharsis Rise and the Crustal Dichotomy," said Zhong.

Taylor Swift Becomes a 'Cat Lady'
As you can probably imagine, it gets pretty lonely out on the road, away from family, friends and other loved ones. That's why Taylor Swift decided that she needed a new roommate — a tiny baby kitten which she named Meredith.
"Hanging out with my new roommate, Meredith," Swift tweeted Thursday, along with the instagram photo of her fuzzy bunkmate. Not only did Meredith's photo get thousands of 'likes,' but it got the attention of the 21-year-old singer's pop music friend Katy Perry, as well.
"OH MY GOSH. Is this kitty for real?!?!" Perry tweeted back, unable to handle the cuteness. Swift promptly responded that her pint-sized friend was even chasing her own tail at the time of tweet, making us all melt just a little more — as if the picture wasn't enough.
We hope that Meredith provides quality company for Swift, as her Speak Now Tour is scheduled to continue rolling through the end of the month. On Saturday (Nov. 5), the singer will find herself in Houston, Texas performing to a sea of fans in the city's baseball stadium, Minute Maid Park.

by Third Decade on Apr.08, 2010, under Podcast, 101 view(s)
This week Your ears are going to hear lots of Moonbeam sounds. Their first album called Around The World is in stores for few days. Really deep, progressive melodies. Also, in last few days, Tom Cloud released new album A New Day – I choose two tracks from it, so You could have a nice preview of whole CD and get ready for many more… New singles from likes of Tritonal, Einar K, TasteXperience, Matt Darey's new vocal project under Urban Astronauts alias, latest productions with Susana's voice (Her album will be release soon, looking forward for this – many great producers like Jorn van Deynhoven, Omnia and Mike Shiver in collaboration). Furthermore, You are going to hear many progressive and balearic melodies from Ben Preston, Shipstad & Warren (these young guys really impressed me), Alpha 9, Progressiver (under new alias – Fine Sky) and many more. I also have to mention about a fantastic track Pandora produced by Ali Willson. Great, fresh and unique style – single was inspired by Avatar movie, personally love this tribal samples. If You still want more, You might be interest in listening to new Aly & Fila vocal single remixed by W&W, Far Away new track from polish producer Nitrous Oxide (features vocals from polish vocalist Aneym), Enton Mushi's terrific single and M.I.K.E's Plastic Boy new track.

Before Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) found a place in corporate lexicon, it was already textured into our Group's value systems. As early as the 1940s, our founding father Shri G. D. Birla espoused the trusteeship concept of management. Simply stated, this entails that the wealth that one generates and holds, is to be held as in a trust for our multiple stakeholders. With regard to CSR, this means investing part of our profits beyond business, for the larger good of society.
While carrying forward this philosophy, our legendary leader, Mr. Aditya Birla, weaved in the concept of 'sustainable livelihood', which transcended cheque book philanthropy. In his view, it was unwise to keep on giving endlessly. Instead, he felt that channelising resources to ensure that people have the wherewithal to make both ends meet would be more productive.
He would say, "Give a hungry man fish for a day, he will eat it and the next day, he would be hungry again. Instead, if you taught him how to fish, he would be able to feed himself and his family for a lifetime."
Taking these practices forward, our chairman Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, institutionalised the concept of triple bottom line accountability represented by economic success.Our community work is a way of telling the people among whom we operate that We Care.
Our projects are carried out under the aegis of the "Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development", led by Mrs. Rajashree Birla. The Centre provides the strategic direction, and the thrust areas for our work ensuring performance management as well.
Our focus is on the all-round development of the communities around our plants located mostly in distant rural areas and tribal belts. All our Group companies — Grasim, Hindalco and UltraTech have Rural Development Cells, which are the implementation bodies.
Our partners in development are government bodies, district authorities, village panchayats and the end beneficiaries — the villagers. The Government has, in their 5-year plans, special funds earmarked for human development and we recourse to many of these.
At the same time, we network and collaborate with like-minded bilateral and unilateral agencies to share ideas, draw from each other's experiences, and ensure that efforts are not duplicated. At another level, this provides a platform for advocacy.
All projects are planned in a participatory manner, in consultation with the community, literally sitting with them, and gauging their basic needs. We take recourse to "participatory rural appraisal", which is a mapping process. Subsequently, based on a consensus and in discussion with the village panchayats, we prioritise requirements. And thus, a project is born. Implementation is the responsibility of the community and our team, as is the monitoring of milestones and the other aspects. Monitoring entails physical verification of the progress and the actual output of the project.
Village meetings are held periodically to elicit feedback on the benefits of our community programmes and the areas where these need to be beefed up. We try and ensure that while in the short term we have to do enormous hand-holding, the projects become sustainable by the beneficiaries over the long haul. Once this stage is reached, we withdraw. In this way we do not build a culture of dependence, instead we make the villagers self-reliant.
One of our unique initiatives is to develop model villages, so each of our major companies is working towards the total transformation of a number of villages in proximity to our plants. Making of a model village entails ensuring self-reliance in all aspects viz., education, health care and family welfare, infrastructure, agriculture and watershed management, and working towards sustainable livelihood patterns. Fundamentally, ensuring that their development reaches a stage wherein village committees take over the complete responsibility and our teams become dispensable.
The geographic reach, annual spends
The footprint of our community work straddles 5,000 villages globally. We reach out to 7.5 million people annually. Over 60 per cent of these live below the poverty line and belong to scheduled castes and tribes.
The Group spends in excess of Rs.250 crore annually, inclusive of the running of 20 hospitals and 56 schools. The Group transcends the conventional barriers of business and reaches out to the marginalised as a matter of duty and to bring in a more equitable society.
Our focus areas
Our rural development activities span five key areas and our single-minded goal here is to help build model villages that can stand on their own feet. Our focus areas are healthcare, education, sustainable livelihood, infrastructure and espousing social causes.
Our partners
WHO, Australia India Council, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, CII, European Union (EU), British Council, City& Guilds (UK), Global Compact Network, International Rotary Club, NSDC, FICCI, NABARD, NACO, CARE, IGNOU, Aide et Action, SEWA, BAIF, MYRADA, Basix, CARD, Art of Living Foundation, Smile Foundation, Maya Foundation, Childline India Foundation, local NGOs, District Development Offices, Central and State governments.

If the monitor do not have the impedance adjust switch, please ask us for a camera suitable for your monitor
- Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personal
- Never face the camera toward the sun. If may cause a smear on the picture when the camera is directly faced to the sun or spot light or light reflecting objects
- Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or do not try to operate the camera in wet area. Moisture can damage the camera and can create the danger of electric shock
What are the recommended camera placements to capture the most relevant shots?
- Never angle a camera to look straight down. A camera that's pointed straight down will only catch the top of a perpetrator's head. The camera will most likely miss many of the distinguishing characteristics that can be used to identify a person later if necessary
- Always make sure to have a camera facing all entrances It is a fact, that the best time to catch the facial features of an individual is during their entrance into the building, whether it is your home or your business. Other cameras can catch the act of someone in the act of stealing; however, without the critical entry-shot you may not be able to identify the individual
- Never allow direct sunlight to touch the lens of the camera. Regardless of which cameras you use, make sure that the cameras are never mounted in such a way that sunlight will directly shine into the lens. This will cause the Image sensor to discolor and fail. Direct sunlight will also immediately void any warranty
- Mount I/R Cameras within 20 ft. of subject being viewed. Infrared bulbs emit an invisible light spectrum that will illuminate a subject even in complete darkness...however, the light will only project out 20-40 ft. to illuminate the target
- Always plug cameras into a surge suppressor or Battery Back-up unit. Cameras are extremely sensitive to voltage changes and can fail prematurely. Voltage changes will also void the cameras warranty

Because of the beautiful craftsmanship such as hand illustration, often the techniques of vintage charms are very attractive.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is not a new metal, but since Pantone introduced rose quartz as color of the year in 2016, it has had a resurgence.
Seen in the 19th century in Russia, it's a blend of yellow gold and copper. Rose gold has a warmth and softness that exudes romance. It's a very durable metal and doesn't require rhodium plating or dipping like white gold.
We love it for the reason that it is fashionable and feminine. Because it's unexpected and that makes it unique, we also love it.
Delicate Settings
Lifestyles have changed and many feel comfortable with a more minimalist look. We are seeing several customers who are interested in a delicate setting.
Brides are putting more emphasis on a single sparkling diamond and less on the band. They are purchasing classic solitaires or delicately accented engagement mountings.

Colorful Gemstones
Using colored gems has been famous in both vintage and contemporary jewelry.
Couples get more info and people are often drawn to a stone because of the color or meaning of the stone. It really makes the ring an original and attaches significance to the click here piece.
We're embarking on to see these exquisite pops of color as center stones, accented stones and on bands to complement the wedding ring. More and more we are also noticing ovals of all colors set in an east west facing mounting, which can be very chic.
Three Stone Rings
Thank you Meghan Markle for bringing back the enduring three stone involvement ring, thoroughly fit for a princess!
We love Meghan's ring for a variety of reasons, including the legacy diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection and the cushion cut. Oh so elegant and amazing with such sentiment of past, current and future.
Custom Styles
There are so many varieties to choose from and so many elements from different rings calling your name, but why can't you find the one?!
Or it could be that, it's just the opposite and you can tell someone else what you don't like but you aren't sure what you do like.

Selecting the one for you!
How to select what's right for you? Pin all you like, but you really need to start trying on! It's common to love a ring in a photo, but it isn't until you try that piece on that you are able to comprehend if the look is right for you.

Olympia the Deaconess
Saint Olympia, deaconess of Constantinople is commemorated by the Church July 25.
Olympia, was born 361 AD, into a wealthy family of high ranking. Her father was, Count Anysios Secondos and her mother, Alexandra Seconodos. Shortly after the repose of St John Chrysostom in September 14, 407 AD, Olympia passed away in Nicomedia on July 25, 408 AD.
Shortly before her death, Olympia gave instructions that she wanted her remains to be placed in a coffin and tossed into the sea, leaving her final resting place to divine providence.
Her relics
Upon her repose, her memory was celebrated by many since she was very charitable due to her considerable wealth.
As requested, she her coffin was tossed into the sea and floated to Vrocthee, a suburban shore in Constantinople. At this location, the monastery and church of Apostle Thomas was located (see the Prologue from Ochrid, Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic).
Approximately 616 - 620 AD, the Persians attacked the monastery by burning it. Her relics had to be removed.
The relics were translated to the convent of 'the house of Olympia' by the abbess Sergia in 630 AD.
Cricial relationships
- Her uncle the Prefect Procopios.
- Patriarch Gregory of Constantinople, 329 - 389 AD (aka St Gregory the Theologian).
- Her governess, Theodosia, the sister of St Amphilochios of Iconium
- Her husband, the sub-prefect Nevridios.
- Emperor Theodosios I, the Spaniard
- Patriarch of Constantinople, Nectarios
- Patriarch of Constantinople, St John Chrysostom
- Her niece Olympia – ordained to the diaconate with Olympia.
- Her handmaidens, Elisantha, Martyria and Palladia – three sisters ordained to diaconate with Olympia.
- The 50 expelled monks from Nitria during 385-412 AD
- St Amphilochios, St Epiphanios, St Peter of Sabaste and St Gregory of Nyssa.

Nori fish wrap
One of my favorite foods I've added to my diet since concentrating on healing foods are various kinds of seaweed. I have two favorites that I use a lot. I love wakami which I toss into broth and various soups quite often. It grows over 30 times it's dehydrated size so it's also very economical along with just plain delicious.
The second seaweed I eat a lot of is nori. Nori is the stuff sushi comes wrapped in. It comes in sheets that can be used as a wrap so I use it instead of bread for sandwich like foods. I also take plain sheets and brush them lightly with olive oil and a bit of salt and eat them just like that…they're crunchy and delicious. A great tasty and nutrient dense snack.
Today I made guacamole, fish wraps.
Here are the steps I took. I first made guacamole. I mashed two avocados with:
● 1/8 of a finely diced onion
● juice of half a lemon
● salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
● Then I mixed in a bunch of finely chopped cilantro.
That's it. Very easy and quick guacamole. You can add hot sauce or tomatoes and jalepenos…whatever you like really.
Then I baked a few pieces of white fish. I believe it was flounder. Tilapia would work well too.
I put the guacamole onto two sheets of nori (one will do fine, too. I just really like nori and it's so GOOD for you too)
Then I rolled it up.
Nice, simple lunch that tastes good and packs a nutritional punch.

Deportivo La Coruna's president has confirmed that the club have sacked coach Jose Luis Oltra over an "irreversible" run of form.
The Spanish side sit rock-bottom of La Liga with 12 points from 17 matches, though just three points off the tip of the relegation zone.
The former Tenerife boss guided Deportivo back to the top flight in the 2011-12 season but has struggled to string victories together this campaign, and Augusto Cesar Lendoiro insisted that change is necessary.
"It's a decision that didn't come today, it was taken before the assembly following the defeat against Espanyol [on December 20]," the president told reporters at a press conference on Sunday.
"The situation became irreversible. We're not fans of changing the coach, but a shake-up was needed that had to come from this, because you don't have other options to make changes in the team."

Before Suing Wikipedia, Maybe Do A Wikipedia Search On Section 230 Of The CDA
from the you-don't-get-to-edit-the-law dept
That said, it seems doubly wrongheaded to sue Wikipedia for this. First, as we've discussed many, many times, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) protects sites from the actions of their users. She has every right to go after whoever put up the page in the first place. But she shouldn't be blaming Wikipedia for it -- and any lawyer who would file this lawsuit should have known that and made it clear to her as well. Furthermore, this is a pure Streisand Effect situation. Before this, chances are that almost no one had seen the Wikipedia page. It was not up very long before it was deleted, and there probably just weren't that many people searching for her. Yet now, thanks to this, her name will forever be associated both with the claims she's trying to hide from the various news stories about this case, but those searching on her name will also see that she's filing lawsuits like this one. Again, this is something that her lawyer should have known. Of course, there are Wikipedia pages on both Section 230 and The Streisand Effect. A quick look around Wikipedia may have helped to avoid this unnecessary lawsuit against Wikipedia.

Why gloomy 2Q earnings outlook might not be so dim
NEW YORK (AP) — For Corporate America, it's the season of low expectations.
Companies have been scaling back their earnings forecasts for weeks as part of a quarterly cat-and-mouse game with financial analysts. It's not OK just to report a strong second-quarter profit — they also need to beat analysts' forecasts. And companies are eager to do just that.
Earnings season gets started Monday, when aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. reports results after the stock market close.
Wall Street analysts now predict that earnings for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 3 percent in the second quarter compared with a year earlier, according to a survey by S&P Capital IQ. But as recently as April 1, they thought earnings would rise nearly 7 percent. At the start of the year; they forecast a 9 percent increase. Companies that provide raw materials and technology firms are expected to drag down growth.
Another reason for the drop? Eighty seven of the 111 S&P 500 companies that offered guidance were negative.
"You really have to take it with a grain of salt," said Christine Short, associate director at S&P Capital IQ. Last quarter, she said, 65 percent of companies beat financial analysts' estimates.
Quarterly growth over the past 15 years has averaged 8 percent. In the last eight quarters, analysts' estimates have underplayed growth by about 4 percentage points, according to Short. That would mean earnings in the second quarter just ended are more likely to rise around 7 percent.
There are plenty of areas that could help lift corporate profits. Americans' confidence is up and they are willing to spend again. The housing market rebound is also expected to push up earnings of home construction companies such as DR Horton Inc., Lennar Corp. and PulteGroup Inc. The consumer discretionary sector, which includes retailers like Target Corp., entertainment companies like Walt Disney Co. and the homebuilders, is expected to see growth of 12 percent.
The financial sector is also expected to see a jump, with 16 percent growth from a year earlier.
An aggregate of the S&P 500′s earnings per share is estimated at $26.41, up from $25.67 reported in the second quarter last year. That would be the second-highest quarterly earnings, only topped by the all-time high of $26.71 during this year's first quarter.
Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst with S&P Dow Jones Indices, said the earnings should propel the S&P 500 index past its record close of 1,669.16 on May 21.
"The guidance has been negative, but not as much as historically," Silverblatt said.
Still, there are concerns. Short points out that earnings are only part of the picture. She's scrutinizing revenue growth, which is predicted to slow by 0.3 percent from last year's second quarter. If that holds true, it would be the first revenue slowdown since the third quarter of 2009, just after the recession ended
"Companies have gotten very good at managing costs — which is of course important — but it's unsustainable," Short said. "At some point you need to grow that top line."
Profits at mining and other companies that provide gold, aluminum and similar products are expected to slow because of lower commodity prices. Growth for their profits is expected to pull back by 4 percent.
The technology sector isn't looking promising either. Personal computer sales have slumped, hurting Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. But the real drag is Apple Inc. The company isn't launching any new products and is expected to earn $7.37 a share, down from $9.32 last year, according to FactSet. Apple accounts for about 15 percent of the sector's weight, so its earnings drop brings down the entire group. Growth in IT earnings will slow by 5 percent.

Scorpions' Rider Demands Linked to Ticket Hikes
Extravagant rider demands made by members of the Scorpions have reportedly blown the winds of change through Finland, leaving inflated ticket prices in their wake.
The band's mid-July appearance at the Finnish Lahden Yot festival reportedly came with a whole bunch of strings attached -- so many that promoters say they were forced to add roughly $40 to the price of a single-day ticket, bringing the total cost to nearly $100. The backlash that followed prompted Allu Koskinen, the organizer of Finland's RockCock Festival, to go public regarding his own struggles with the Scorpions' rider in advance of the band's appearance at the event.
Although Koskinen declined to discuss specific details, the rider is rumored to be 38-pages long, and reportedly includes individual limousines for all five Scorpions (driven by chauffeurs in matching uniforms) and private porcelain toilets for each band member. In his interview with the Finnish newspaper Savon Sanomat, Koskinen did admit that after ticket prices were announced, the veteran rockers surprised him with additional requirements, including a stage design dwarfing anything constructed in RockCock history.
"The demands are pretty tough, but we can make them happen nonetheless," Koskinen said in the interview. "We're talking about tens of thousands of euros."
After witnessing the negative publicity that shrouded Lahden Yot, Koskinen was understandably reluctant to hike RockCock prices. As he told the paper, "We didn't and still don't want to raise the ticket prices, even though the pressure is on due to these extra expenses. We just have to hope for a great turnout. ... We want to be involved in big circles. We'll look at how this year's production goes and base future policies on the results."
The 2014 edition of RockCock, the 12th in the festival's history, was held on July 25 and 26. Sales numbers weren't divulged beforehand, but Koskinen sounded hopeful: "According to our information, fans from all over Finland and even abroad are coming to witness the rock 'n' roll spectacle."

Tim Berners-Lee On Net Neutrality: It's Important, But Now What?
from the where-the-conversation-breaks-down dept
This is a big issue that many people don't seem to want to dig in on. Those who are against net neutrality regulations say that the regulations will screw things up even more, but ignore the potential downsides to letting the telcos end net neutrality. Those who want regulation say network neutrality is very important and thus needs to be written into the law -- but ignore the potentially stifling aspects of bad regulations. The problem is that both sides then are talking about different things... and there's no one looking at if it's written into law, how can it be written to cause as little damage as possible and if it's not written into law, how can people feel comfortable that network neutrality will remain an option going forward? The real answer is that it would be great if there were a truly competitive market that would make it impossible for anyone to kill network neutrality, but the FCC has already killed that option off by giving telcos virtual monopolies on the lines and rights of way that the government granted them. So, perhaps the real answer isn't to focus on legislating (or not) net neutrality -- but making sure there's real competition in the market. In the meantime, it looks like the Markey amendment on Net Neutrality is back in play. However, as it's been turned into a partisan issue, it probably doesn't stand much of a chance.

With exactly two months left until open enrollment period ends, ObamaCare ends its 19th week. And a new poll finds that the uninsured—the population the Affordable Care Act most needs to function—are displaying weakened support for the president's reform law.
Continue Reading Below
Kaiser Health's Tracking Poll for January, released Thursday, finds 47% of the uninsured have an unfavorable view of the law, versus 24% of those who have a favorable opinion. More of those without coverage say the law has made the uninsured "worse off," at 39%, compared to 26% who say the law has made the uninsured "better off."
The reason for the drop in support is likely frustration, says Paul Howard, director of the Center for Medical Progress at the Manhattan Institute.
"The people who find the law the most attractive have probably already gone and shopped and found coverage," Howard says. "So the remaining pool are the least likely to 'like' the law, they probably have a negative perception."
Susan Dentzer, senior advisor to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, says the poll reflects a "huge irony."
"It underscores the real issue, that there are lots of uninsured people that are not aware of the financial assistance that is available to them under the law," Dentzer says. "They probably don't know the subsidy dollars that are available, which is shocking, but true."
Under the ACA, every individual in the country has to have coverage by the end of open enrollment period on April 1, or they will face a fine of $95 a year or 1% of their annual income for failing to comply. Subsidies are available for those making up to 400% of the federal poverty level, which is $45,000 for an individual and $94,000 for a family of four, annually.
Obama's State of the Union Health-care Mention
The president briefly spoke about his signature law during his State of the Union address this week, touting the successes it has seen since open enrollment kicked off on Oct. 1, but glossing over its rocky rollout. Critics predictably jumped on his lack of attention to the law during the speech, but ACA supporters say the focus should be on moving forward.
Dentzer says it was clear Obama wasn't interested in the past and wanted to move forward with his discussion.
"It was pretty clear he wanted to address the bigger picture," Dentzer says. "He didn't cite the problems with Healthcare.gov, or the improvements to the site. He tried to draw people's attention to the big bottom line."
Obama also carefully touted enrollment numbers, citing 9 million people who have "signed up for coverage" including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Plan, along with exchange enrollees, as it is still unclear if they have paid their first month's premiums or not.
"He also emphasized the affordability aspect of the law with his example of a physician assistant, who had emergency surgery shortly after Jan. 1," Dentzer says. "It would have bankrupted her had she not had coverage."
Doctor confusion
Even though the law is well into its implementation, consumers aren't the only ones expressing confusion over ObamaCare. A new survey from QuantiaMD finds 84% of doctors say they don't have a clear understanding of the law, nor do they feel they have enough information to properly explain the law to patients.
"I absolutely think physicians are only slightly less confused than the general public about the law," Dentzer says. "This is new for everyone, and providers aren't insurance experts—they are finding out details along with everyone else."
And as consumers are expressing confusion and issues in trying to use their new coverage, doctors are left to pick up the pieces, Howard says.
"Physicians are the sharp point of the spear here," he says. "If people enroll late, or have trouble finding a particular piece of information about their insurance, doctors have the same issues determining the answer."
