What has HE done to try to improve HIS situation (besides criticize Rockets' management)? Sounds like he took this job knowing he couldn't fulfill his obligations to the team. It's idiotic to suggest he didn't know that his job as a professional athlete would involve some air travel. And if he did, and if he signed the contract anyway, that's on him. HE is the one breaching their contract, and they (the Rockets") just need to go ahead and cut their losses. The guy has given them exactly nothing so far so whatever he has been paid was too much.
Rockets suspend White after second refusal of D-League assignment
By Ben Golliver
The Rockets announced Sunday that rookie forward Royce White has been suspended one week after he refused an assignment to the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers for the second time this season.
"The Houston Rockets have suspended Royce White effective immediately for refusing to provide services as required by his Uniform Player Contract," Rockets GM Daryl Morey said in a statement. "We will continue to work with Royce to hopefully come to a resolution."
The Rockets and White, the No. 16 pick in the 2012 draft, have been engaged in a months-long dispute over the treatment of his anxiety disorder. White has yet to appear in a game this season and has not traveled with the team for weeks. Training camp opened with the player and team attempting to fashion what the rookie forward called a "good faith deal" to help manage his transition to the NBA, as his anxiety disorder makes it difficult for him to fly. Shortly after the Rockets previously attempted to assign White to the Vipers in November, he stopped showing up to practices and games and repeatedly expressed frustration on his Twitter account with the team's handling of his generalized anxiety disorder.
White responded to the suspension in a string of messages on his @Highway_30 verified Twitter account Sunday.
"What's suspending me [supposed] to do? I've been away from the team for a month [and a half]. Guess we want to give it a title to shift accountability. Threat, fines, suspension won't deter me. I won't accept illogical health decisions, I will keep asking for safety and health.
Again the Houston Rockets management has gone against what THEIR OWN [doctors] have declared and their own words.
[I'm] not refusing D League. I'm refusing to work, AT ALL, until a protocol is put in that ensures safety. Doctors should make medical decisions. Undeniably UNSAFE FOR ANY PLAYER when management has executive authority in medical situations. Conflict of Interest, Health vs. Business
Last week, White called his D-League assignment "unsafe" because he does not believe the Rockets' front office should supersede medical advice in their treatment of him.
"I have chosen to not play, because the doctors and I believe it to be unsafe for unqualified Rockets front office personnel to make medical decisions, as they are not mental health professionals," White said in a statement last week.
He also gave a radio interview this week in which he repeated his desire for a medical protocol that would allows doctors to have "executive authority in medical situations regarding mental health" rather than team executives like Morey.
White's statement last week also asserted that the Rockets are not "adhering to medical sensibility" in their treatment of him and implies that the Rockets' handling of him isn't being undertaken with his best medical interests in mind.
In hindsight of the recent tragedies in this country, that had mental illness variables, you would think it would encourage people to act more proactively in that arena. You would think that decision makers who are not well informed about mental health, would take the consultation and recommendation of those who are. You would think we would start to do everything possible to not let the tragic consequences befall us first, before we ask the logical question, "why?", "who knew?" "how could we have helped?. Why not take a proactive approach of "who knows?" "how can we listen?", "how can we support now?"
I do wish to play, but I only intend to do so with the collaboration and recommendation of trained professionals. The purpose of a doctor's confirmation is to ensure that health decisions are made in the sole interest of health and not conflicted with business. My only hope is that decision makers involved realize that doctors are the only logical source to decide action.
There is an admitted lack of knowledge on behalf of the Rockets and the NBA, it becomes transparent as they choose to forego the knowledge of trained professionals and make independent decisions for something as complex as mental health without consulting any doctors. The Rockets have told me in recent conversations that it is their right to decline even their own doctors' recommendations. The concept of not listening to medical consultants in medical situations is alarming. It is also alarming that a player is susceptible to fines for simply adhering to the recommendation of doctors.
White continued by saying that it would be "fundamentally incorrect" to say that the Rockets have supported him and that their representation of the situation has been "extremely misleading" and "totally inaccurate." White made similar statements after he initially left the Rockets in November.
The Rockets have generally avoided responding directly to White's statements, though some fans and observers were critical of his statements. Back in November, the Houston Chronicle reported that owner Leslie Alexander seemed to hint that White's future with the team could be in jeopardy.
"That's tenuous," Alexander said. "It's tough to talk about something like that. I think we're going to handle it internally. If he doesn't work out, well, it's tough to lose a draft choice."
The Houston Chronicle also reported that the Rockets fined White for missing mandated therapy sessions.
Why suspend White now? Well, as White noted, accountability is likely at the heart of the decision. Formally assigning White to the D-League and then suspending him when he did not report makes it "official" that the Rockets believe they have taken sufficient steps to work with White and that White is shirking his responsibilities. There's an implied message here too: The Rockets surely wouldn't suspend a player for not playing if they honestly agreed with the notion that asking him to play was unsafe. If Houston was on board with White's read of the situation, they could simply continue to allow him to remain away from the team while they worked towards a resolution. A suspension not only "shifts accountability" it shifts the Rockets to a more confrontational public position. If they allowed White to remain away from the team, the Rockets could have been seen as tacitly agreeing — or at least not disagreeing — with his philosophical approach to their internal decision-making process on medical decisions. No more.
This delicate stalemate has dragged on and on and, as The Point Forward recently noted, the Rockets have reached a point where they felt they had to take a different approach. We've written multiple times here at the Point Forward that the easiest solution would be for White to report to the Vipers, as the travel demands there are significantly lighter and playing time should be plentiful. Of course, given White's disorder and his fundamental desire to reshape the medical protocol used by his organization, that assessment was much easier said than done.
White, 21, signed a rookie contract in July that will pay him $1.6 million this season and $1.9 million in 2013-14. Both years are fully guaranteed.
No report has yet asked or published what his specific demands are. What are they? Every time the subject comes up he swings the response to general terms or general statements. What does Royce White specifically need from the Rockets and what are they, and what aren't they providing? This is worse than political rhetoric...
It's clear he wants to play for someone else....How he is orchestrating this is quite unique.
plain and simple, he will need a 9 to 5 job he can walk to. he thought he could drive to games-a joke
I would have more sympathy for this cat if he was being treated this way buy a normal business. Dude you wanted to play in the NBA you knew they fly from city to city, if this anxiety disorder makes it difficult for you to fly why did you go into a career that requires you to fly around the country for several months of the year?
My only issue with the whole Royce White thing is simply this-everything being reported is incredibly vague and generalized statements about the Rockets mistreating him. If they are mistreating him then how? What is the situation really between him and the team, because right now it sounds like a they don't treat me right/he won't play us playground argument. I would really like (and many others too) to have some clarity on what exactly is going on between White and the team before any judgments are made.
BTW- Being completely insensitive about mental anxiety and other forms of mental disorder will earn you a first class ticket to karma hell, keep not believing in it, but don't question anybody when you get hit by a bus :)
If he has $3.5 million guaranteed for this year and next year, he has no mental problem. $3.5 million and never step onto the hardwood......entirely brilliant!
White's intransigence hurts only him while it affords others advantages. Others get playing time, Rockets players don't have to deal with his daily drama, no games will be cancelled, and fans pretty happy at the games. Thanks...White
While I do not blame White for his anxiety disorder, (because that would be idiotic), it does not appear that a solution can be reached between White and the Houston Rockets. Houston plays 82 games per year (plus preseason and playoffs) and players MUST fly from city to city (due to time contraints of travelling by car, train or bus) and Royce White cannot (due to his anxiety disorder). The Rockets knew all about his anxiety disorder and drafted him #16 anyway. He's not a bad player, and to be as clear as possible, the D-League will do NOTHING to solve his anxiety disorder issues. So why assign him to the D-League? Punishment? Players fail to be successful in the NBA for a large variety of reasons. It appears, at this time, that Royce White will not be able to be successful as an NBA player due to an anxiety disorder. Assigning him to the D-League does nothing to change that.
Also, for those of you who do not suffer from a from of anxiety disorder, that's great. However, a little understanding and empathy of Royce White's issue would be a good thing? Do you REALLY think he wants to miss out on playing in the NBA? Of course not. NBA players have AWESOME lives.
He suffers from a mental ailment alright, but it's retardation, not anxiety disorder.
White's systemic instability was always glaring. This can't be managed or cured by athletic skills or overindulging him. What he demands is frankly, silly....like a bus driver with major driving phobia expecting to keep his/her job.
If he really means what he says, the he should void his contract with the Rockets and retire. I am sure that when he is really to play someone will sign him.
It's not guaranteed if you breach the contract.
@Michael99 not really, he's being fined and will continued to be fined, he really doesn't have much of a ground appeal the fines
I would believe that if McHale actually had more than a 9 man rotation. Houston gets hyped up about the new draft picks and never get to see them play.
@John4 Assigning him to the d-league has nothing to do with his anxiety disorder, rather it is to further his professional development. Rockets and the Viper has a long standing relationship that develop several of their high draft picks. Marcus Morris for example, spent the majority of his rookie year in the D-league. It is some what of a un-official protocol the rockets has in place, Ever since their partnership with the Viper, They've sent rookies that's unlikely to get playing time down to the D-league for playing time and system, as Vipers run the same system as the Rockets. Patrick Patterson, Aaron Brooks, Marcus Morris, all went as first round picks.
John4, based on your comments above and below, you either have a mental illness or know someone who does. I appreciate your defense of what Royce may dealing with.
However, what I see in Royce is grandstanding, as if his actual duties involve creating some type of new protocol for dealing with mental disorders in NBA players. In truth, his duties are to put himself in a physical and psychological position into to fulfill his contract. I believe he is not fulling the emotional aspect of his job duties.
Given his personal knowledge of his anxiety disorder and how that would obviously impact his NBA career, I do not believe Royce White ever intended on playing professional basketball, because he knew he couldn't do it, no matter what accommodations his team made for him. I believe he will pocket his approximately 2 million (after taxes and agent fees), go back to school, and eventually become a psychologist.
@John4 agree with everything you've said youngblood... unless you have anxiety you really dont know what it is, and how it can impact your life...
@BrownLanet Brown - you have NO idea about Royce White's mental state. He is not retarded, he has an anxiety disorder which appears to be beyond your level of comprehension.
Also, congratulations - you win the prize for idiotic comment of the day. Well done.
He's not retarded, just over indulged. One thing for sure; the private doctors have done a major dis-service to him.
@eddie577 Given how he's behaved, nobody will sign him.
@NVP NVP - The D-League assignment is not the issue. Royce White has an anxiety disorder for flying. It doesn't matter if he is a D League player or an NBA player, he cannot fly. My comment is that that Rockets should be addressing the issue. Royce's playing or not playing in the D League is not the issue, his anxiety disorder is the issue. That has to be corrected.
@pcwhite2 pc - yes, no disrespect to you at all. If Rovce's plan was to pocket a few million KNOWING he could not fly as required for NBA play, then shame on him. Of course the Rockets could have done a better job of scouting him.
That brings me to the most important question: Did Royce fly while at Iowa State (and how could he have played WITHOUT flying?) then why can't he NOW?
@Cu Cu - you have NO IDEA what his doctors have done. You cannot state whether or not is a major disservice. You know nothing about the treatment he received or is receiving. You have only done an excellent job in announcing your stupidity. Congratulations.
......and there are way too many other options for the Rockets to access. The Rockets franchise doens't rise and fall on White.
John4, I fear that if I reply to your reply, you'll be compelled to reply back, and this will never end.
@John4 He's time and time again insisted that flying is not the issue, so unless you've not been as update on his situation, it seems not to be at the core of the issue. You asked why assign him to the D-League? it's suppose to make him a better NBA player, like it did with other rocket player. Your employer has no responsibility to cure you of your medical issues, they are required t provide you reasonable accommodation. If you are severely hydrophobic, the pool bears no responsibility to accommodate you if you seek to be a lifeguard. The nature of the job cannot allow them to do so. Personal decisions cannot be made by someone not responsible for those decision. Management are hired to make decisions in the best interest of the company, they seek counsel and recommendation to make the best decision for all parties, but it is their job make the decision. What he seeks is a conflict of interest, and something that the team cannot possibly accommodate.
if he's unwilling to compromise at all, then the only logical conclusion is that he did not research well enough into his chosen profession, and it is impossible for him to be a NBA player
@Senorglory Senor glory - White has said (in this article) that he will not take part in any activity until his anxiety order is addressed by doctors, and not team management.
@John4 @NVP Royce's refusal to report for duty is the issue. He's not showing for practice or games.
@Cu Dr. Cu - Yes, you are clearly right. It's not an anxiety disorder, it's a "quack", according again to Dr. Cu. Dr. Cu - are you a quack doctor? Do you have any idea what you're talking about, because it appears that you do not. If I am wrong, Dr. Cu, please clarify.
Look at the situation; it reflects I'm indeed correct. Bottom line; as long as White hangs on to these quacks, he'll remain just where he is or worse. You on the other hand, believe that just because White has shown some talent, it makes him fit, stable, and qualified. It's plain to see that you're the one who doesn't what you're talking about.
@Cu Cu - Or is that "Dr. Cu"? How about this: White fires his doctors and hires you to treat his anxiety disorder. You ARE a doctor, correct? No? Then how the EFF can you comment on his treatment? You can't. Go back to the basement and continue your D&D game.
Oh yes I do have an idea. General Practitioners are NOT qualified to manage mental health issues. This is the first sign of proof that there's been a major dis-service. His so called "private" team should be encouraging his compliance and accessing qualified mental health care providers. They're only thinking about themselves because if White is treated by a qualified mental health provider, his private docs will no longer get paid.

Oh I get what you're saying now. Okay.

just as I said in the description. I wanted to explain the difference between this script and the original one by Caimar. The old one used the id to get the right nodes. When GMail changed, the id was no more available and the script didn't work anymore. All I did was rewrite the script to make it work using the same concept. How i solved the problem of the id? I simply look for all the buttons which contain the word delete (or any other word you specify by yourself in a constant according to your language) in the innerHTML. So when I say "by their content" I really mean the content...the label in the case of a button.
|JoeSimmons Scriptwright
it finds the buttons by their content and not by id
According to your code, it doesn't find the delete button by id because it has no id. It has act=10 and a class, that's it.

6 March 2006
The people of Chinchilla, in Queensland, are preparing for their annual watermelon festival.
MEGAN MAGILL: Like so many people in Chinchilla, Dennis Dickman is obsessed with melons. So you think this is a potential winner Dennis?
DENNIS DICKMAN, CHINCHILLA MELON GROWER: Megan, it's not a bad one. There's two or three good ones here and it's probably got another big brother down the road here.
MEGAN MAGILL: The second-generation grower is tipped to take out this year's giant watermelon competition for the fifth time. How much do you think this one will weigh?
DENNIS DICKMAN: Oh, about 68 kilograms.
MEGAN MAGILL: That's a little bit light isn't it?
DENNIS DICKMAN: It probably is a little bit. There are a few big ones they tell me coming in from Bundaberg and some other growers in the district - so we'll see how we go this year.
MEGAN MAGILL: Adding weights to the competition some young blood from the local primary school.
DARREN ICON & CORRIE WEST, CHINCHILLA STATE PRIMARY SCHOOL: We reckon this is one of our biggest melons and it weighs about 40 kilograms. So, if there's anyone out there, we reckon we can beat you.
MEGAN MAGILL: The students have been tending their crop since last October. And while the delicate melons need to be protected from the sun their prized patch is impressive.
Also in the field, Darryl O'Leary, well known for innovation. He was the first local to produce the seedless variety.
So Darryl, is this your biggest melon?
DARRYL O'LEARY: No it's not. This is one of my worker's. He's done a pretty poor job of it but I've had them pretty busy working all season so I haven't had time to look after them. I've got mine up the row a bit and I won't bring it out until the weigh-in.
MEGAN MAGILL: O'Leary maintains his mystery melon is more than an enhanced fantasy. I hear the boys from Bundaberg could give you a run for your money?
DARRYL O'LEARY: Yeah, those Bundaberg fellas, they all talk a bit but they've only done it once in seven years.
MEGAN MAGILL: Chinchilla is known as Australia's watermelon capital. It produces about a quarter of the country's supply. But lately, the competition in the marketplace has also been stiff. It's been a pretty tough season for melon growers. While they were fortunate enough to get a fair bit of rain before Christmas, prices have been well below average. There just seems to be no demand for melons at the moment. But locals are hoping this year's festival will change all that. The biennial event started in 1994, as a celebration for growers who'd been through drought. Now, it's seen as vital promotion.
There's no end to the melon-related activities this week. There's pip spitting, melon skiing, and for those drunk on the festivities, melon bungee jumping. If it weren't for the suspense the battle of the biggest melon could be just a sideshow.
DARRYL O'LEARY: Don't be fooled, this is one of my worker's. Mine's up the paddock a bit. It's twice the size of this.
story notes
Chinchilla is a town in Queensland, not far from the capital, Brisbane.
That means his parents grew watermelons, too. This is the second generation of people in Denniss family whove grown melons.
Tipped means guessed or expected.
The large red-fleshed melon is what we call a watermelon.
To tend something means to look after or watch over it.
A crop is a group of plants grown in one place.
prized patch
If something is prized it is considered valuable or important . And a patch is a small area.
We often talk about a vegetable patch. Thats an area of land where vegetables are grown. Here, the students have a melon patch.
in the field
A field can be an area of land used for growing crops or keeping animals. But here, field refers to all the competitors taking part in a race.
Example: We started out with a field of ten, but three people withdrew.
Innovation refers to the use of new ideas and methods.
Follow the link below and listen to the different way produce is pronounced when it's used as a noun.
more information: produce
give you a run for your money
To give someone a run for their money means to not let them win easily.
Example: I don' t think the top team will be beaten, but this week they should get a run for their money.

CNET Top 5
CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
The shiny Samsung Series 7 Ultra has a long battery life and nice design, but its now-older processor gives us pause.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
Quad-core CPUs, AMD graphics, and a touch screen fill the near-ultrabook slim Chronos at CES.
Despite solid hardware, great battery life, and fast startup, we can't recommend the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 until and unless Google improves the Chrome OS.
The 4-pound Samsung Series 5 isn't as light and portable as some slim 14-inch laptops, but this AMD-powered version can be found at a significant discount if you shop around.
This midprice slim laptop gets a new body, plus a touch screen and backlit keyboard.
The UNH7150 series, the highest-end Samsung LED with neither 4K resolution nor a curved screen announced at CES, adds a new split-screen function to its suite of Smart TV extras but lacks the step-up models' superior local dimming.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
The Samsung Series 7 isn't the fastest, or the most fully featured midrange all-in-one, but casual PC users should consider it for its affordability and overall polish.
How compelling is a hybrid laptop/tablet solution with Windows 8? Samsung's ultraportable solution follows a form we're likely to see a lot of this fall.

This oil is ok. Not crazy about the overall smell. It does work good after the shower great for winter time.
Smells wonderful, moisturizes, feels like a winter luxury. Soaks in well & not too heavy. Definitely recommended for chilly weather.
While this oil is very nice and smells great there just isn't enough of it in the bottle for the price. I really liked it but found other oils that last longer and do the same things for my skin.
Love the scent! My skin drinks this oil up and it does not feel greasy. I also put a tad on my fingertips and run it through my hair and then style - very silky hair! I am reminded that I need to buy some more! .....
I've always been shy of trying oils on my skin, but this one feels so good and smells great. It soaks in quickly. I've been using it at night and I like how my skin feels when I wake up!
I am obsessed with natural body, hair, face oils. This one has a wonderful mix of different oils! I am not too crazy about the smell, however. Use it right after you get out of the shower to lock in all that good moisture!
I was so excited for this product and it was the first thing I went to when I opened my birchbox. I noticed the pump was different than the image in the description, but it actually always you more control of disbursement. A little goes a long way. The smell is "simply amazing" and the oil consistency is perfect (just remember to shake it before each use). My skin drank it up!
As a woman who uses body oils often, I didn't love this. The smell was just OK and it didn't really absorb well into my skin.
I have very oily skin all over my body and only use very fast adsorbing products, otherwise I feel slimy. I have never even considered a body oil for this very reason, but I decided to give it a try since it was included in my Birchbox. I liked it. For an oil, the product is not very oily. It sinks in fairly quickly and smells nice. I would have never given this a try if I had not received a sample, and I'm glad I did.
I was little unsure about using an oil instead of lotion, now I'm a total oil believer! This stuff is great and I love that it's organic.

Ideal for lace stitch accessories this yarn is lightweight and glamourous, the sequins give a unique and random pattern to the finished knitted fabric, making it ideal for evening wear or just that little bit of added sparkle.
Colourspun is a lovely wool and mohair blended yarn which is sublime to knit. Each shade is produced by blending two printed and two solid colours together and then twisted with a printed binder.

We're conducting a job interview for web application developers. First round was an in-depth verbal interview for shortlisting candidates, now comes the second round where selected candidates will have to actually produce working code.
Candidates will have full Internet access, free choice of development environment, frameworks, etc and 4 hours to build a working (or at least partially working) web application from scratch. The development task should test their abilities in all the three usual layers of web application development - database design and implementation, server side and client side development.
Given the very limited time, the task obviously can't be too complex. However I still would like to get a general picture of the candidates' skills regarding development fundamentals. My focus is on data abstraction, database design, using patterns like MVC and DRY, using javascript past jQuery.hover() bindings over menu items.
Here is the short version of one I thought of: Build a currency exchange web application. Use the xml feed at http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml, store currency rates daily in a database, build a web interface that provides a) exchange facility between two arbitrary currency using the latest rate b) historical data presentation for any selected currency.
However I'm not too hapy with that one for several reasons. The db design part falls on rather the easy side, and server side development does not really include any algorithmically challenging problems. Also testing the historical part would be hard (unless I provide a custom historical feed for them to load the db with meaningful values).
What would be a good task for this purpose? Is it even possible to figure out a good problem set for such a short time that truly test all the above abilities of candidates?
Though there were a number of answers with much higher votes that the accepted answer, I still liked Spoike's thoughts on this topic best. Provided a good example and admitted that there are legitimate cases of requiring a candidate to write code on the spot. We did it this way (using the above currency exchange task with some modifications) and I did not regret doing it at all. I talked candidates through their solutions, and seing their differing approaches and their abilities to communicate the whys and hows of their solution helped a lot in the final screening.

8114 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9004834.076000 -118.366410
Neighborhoods: Beverly Center, Central LA
horrible food, horrible service – This place has gone way down hill! I went to Pastis with a friend and we both agreed the waitstaff are more into themselves and seem ruder than the average Parisian waiter when being served in France. How bout some American waiters, heh? Our waiter smelled like he himself had drank a bottle of JD for the past hour! What a waste of money and experience. There were a total of 5 customers eating when we were there which is to say the restaurant was empty for a Friday and we can understand why. How does this restaurant manage to stay open when it's just plain awful in about everyway?
Would Never return – & in fact have not since the last visit that was at least 6 months ago & was a second try. The food is fine but the service is terrible, really terrible.
Worst restaurant with pretentious staff – uh! this is one restaurant I won't be going back to. The service was horrible and the food mediocre. If I'm not mistaken, i could swear the waiter brushed his hands through his hair everytime I looked over. Pretentious actor wannabes. We had to flag down the waiter so many times for mistakes made to our order. The waitors seemed snotty, into themselves, and paid little attention to their customers. I complained to the manager or owner (not sure which one he was) and he seemed to not care. This is a place that thinks it's better than what it actually is.
Wonderful service, great Weho French! – This is BY FAR, our favorite French restaurant. My last experience was so wonderful that they completely charmed me...really close to La Cienega, super cute, great atmosphere, warm. We were there a few nights before our wedding with friends and family that were flying in. While we waited for our table, they served us glasses of wine. Unfortunately, the table was taking too long and the outside tables we requested, were full. We were patient, but then decided that we would just go to another restaurant. We left, not upset, just thinking that it was not our night. The car that left after us, called us back, saying that the manager/owner wanted us to come back and that he would comp our entire dinner!!! And they did exactly that. We came back, they set up our table outside and we had an amazing meal. It was so nice that he liked us so much and felt badly for not having our table at the right time, that they comped a 10 person dinner. And with wonderful attitudes and service, we went on to have a wonderful evening with delicious food and wine! PASTIS is by far my favorite neighborhood French restaurant!!! Thanks, Pastis, we love you!
Fely like we were in Paris--ALL the rude things, you find there. – We went to Pastis, after a years hiatus. What we ran into was disgusting. Snobby,rude, LAX service. We got the feeling, that since we were not French, we were less than worthless. The attitude is the same as you find in Paris--complete dislike of Americans. When we spoke to the manager--he could have cared less, how sad. A few days later, we were speaking to a friend who is in the restaurant business---he said, "that Pastis has a reputation of snobbery, & infact they had an ad 4 waiters--ONLY if you spoke French." Discriminate in hiring, as well as service--don't the owners realixe we are in Los Angeles, Ca.--Its a good thing there are other French restaurants close by--Little Door & Mimosa - You will not run into this problem there--besides their " food" is better.
Merci Pastis! – My fifth visit and I am overjoyed to say that Pastis qualifies as a consistently wonderful restaurant! Pastis is not a new comer on the LA dining scene, it is a tried and true restaurant with staying power, there are many reasons why. The atmosphere is a welcome respite from the typical "decorated to within an inch of its life" LA dining spot. Understated, Euro chic, lovely lighting, simple, sophisticated, decor. The service is charming, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everyone is willing and able to accommodate you and to see to it that your dining experience is a satisfying one. The real star here is the thoughtful, bistro inspired menu and the perfectly prepared food. The artichoke and goat cheese tart is as divine as it sounds, in a flaky crust with a creamy texture and savory flavors. All of the entrees I?ve had have been perfection. This last visit, I enjoyed the monkfish with papardelle pasta, beautifully presented and utterly delicious. If something can be light and rich, delicate and hearty, then this is it. On previous visits, I have also enjoyed the lamb chops and the steak. Both were prepared perfectly. I took my Mother for her birthday, she is a true foodie, and it?s so not like her to order the same thing in the same place since she wants to try all the offerings. She ordered the duck...again, explaining, ?I can't help it, it's the best duck I?ve ever had. Pastis is a 'yes' place, unlike the notorious ?Terroni?, Pastis wants to please it?s guests. They understand to make it requires more thought that slapping up some trendoid decor and hiring a bunch of model/actors (although the staff is extremely attractive ;) Pastis understands the fundamentals of a fine dining experience. It is about the food, the wine and?. the customers. Don't miss the charming mint tea service, a refreshing departure from after dinner espresso. Merci Pastis, for remembering my Mother with a lovely lemon birthday tart and another completely lovely evening
Good place to eat – We probably didn't enjoy anything quite as much as the warm goat cheese & artichoke tart we ordered as an appetizer, but I still recommend Pastis for its warm ambiance, service, and menu. Some our dishes had a bit too much sauce for my tastes (yes, I know it's a French restaurant, but I still think it's always a good thing when you can actually see your food underneath the sauce), and the waiter bristled a tad when one of our party had the audacity to ask for Soy milk. "We are French, we only drink milk straight from the cow...sacr bleu!"
Overall, not bad at all, average priced ($50/person with wine), bad parking situation.
Wonderful Food, Wonderful Atmosphere – I just had dinner at Pastis. What a charming restaurant. A perfect date place. The food was excellent. The service was top notch. It was reasonably priced for cuisine of this quality and caliber. I look forward to my next visit.
Best restaurant I have tried in years! – Last night my boyfriend and I decided we would try Pastis. Even though it has been there for quite some time we ended up overlooking it! We came in without a reservation and the staff was extremely accomidating. We sat down and informed our waitress that we were both very allergic to fish of any kind. She made sure that we got butter and olive oil instead of the usual tapenade that has some anchovies in it. She also recommended us fabulous wine and two of the best dishes have tasted in a long time. Good French food is hard to come by and we were both extremely happy. The ambiance was great and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend Pastis!
Far away from the real Provence. – What happened to Pastis? We used to love this place and eat there regularly up to a couple of years ago. Since, I believe the ownership changed and the restaurant; although looks the same is nothing like it used to be. The special was the calf liver and it was over cooked and didn?t seem fresh. The service, used to be friendly and professional. This time the waitress couldn?t answer about the cooking or recommend wine. Also, she was busy schmoozing with the staff and paid very little attention to us. The place was almost empty on a Thursday, something that would have never happened under the old management. We paid a lot for mediocre food and lousy service. Never again.
au revoir pastis.

As development encroaches on wildlife habitat, PAWS' nationally recognized wildlife rehabilitation center rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned animals and educates people about peaceful co-existence with wildlife. It is our goal to return wild animals back to the wild where they belong. We believe that wild animals are best served by being allowed to live undisturbed in their natural environment. No animals are permanently kept in captivity at PAWS.
Spring and summer are the busiest seasons for wildlife rehabilitation centers, including PAWS. During these months, we often receive 30 to 40 animals per day (between 2,500 - 3,000 wild animals each year). The primary role of a wildlife admissions intern is to support the management of a busy wildlife rehabilitation center, giving interns the opportunity to learn about the behind the scenes aspects of running a wildlife rehabilitation center. This internship will teach the intern how to admit wildlife, identify the various species that the wildlife center receives and effectively advise members of the public regarding wildlife situations.
Interns gain valuable practical experience, while helping PAWS' staff and highly trained volunteers. Interns will receive one-on-one training. Interns may have the opportunity to work on an individual project.
All year round. E-mail for availability. Full time (40 hour) applicants will receive first consideration during the summer months.
Note: Internships are of variable length. PAWS' wildlife volunteer program manager will work with successful applicants to schedule exact dates for the internship.
If you are interested in applying for a PAWS Wildlife Admissions Internship please complete the online application and mail the following to the address below:
Mail or email to:
Attn: Frances Boyens
Wildlife Volunteer Program Manager
P.O. Box 1037

When it is cold at home, or he has a couple of weeks with nothing to do but write his Times column, or when something unexpectedly stressful happens, like winning the Nobel Prize, the Princeton economist Paul Krugman and his wife, Robin Wells, go to St. Croix. Here it is warm, and the days are longer, and the phone doesn't ring much. Here they live in a one-bedroom condo they bought a few years ago, nothing fancy but right on the beach. The condo's walls are yellow and blue, the furniture is made of wicker, there are pillows and seashells. There are tall, sprawling bougainvillea bushes along the side of the road.
"We first fell in love with St. John," Krugman says. "It was New York lawyers who'd decided to give up on the whole thing and live on a houseboat and wear their gray ponytails."
"But St. John went too upscale," Wells says.
"Our complex is more Midwesterners. Retired car dealers and so on."
The east end of St. Croix is something of a tourist spot, but the west end, where they decided to settle, is where the Crucians live, and it has a Jimmy Buffett feel to it that they like. In Frederiksted, the west end's tiny town, there are a couple of coffee shops, a KFC, a Wendy's, a few churches, a post office, and a promenade by the sea with concrete picnic tables. Not many people about. Farther out along the coast, there are beach bars with plastic chairs and Christmas lights, men with beards and very tanned middle-aged women sitting and smoking in the afternoon.
"The west end is where the whites who've gone native live," Wells says. "They have a couple of beach bars with not very good blues and jazz bands. They were playing Neil Young as we went by the other night, and Paul said, 'Boy, that was an awful rendition.' "
"It was Buffalo Springfield."
"Yes, Springfield, O.K. I said, 'Aging boomers, they love any rendition, no matter how bad.' "
Here Krugman wears the same shirt for days, a short-sleeved plaid cotton shirt, and bathing trunks. He sits in the room where they eat their breakfast, which has a long window open to the sea. He types at a tiny table that folds out of a closet, which requires him to sit more or less inside the closet, but this is helpful, because the light can be so bright in the room that it becomes blinding. If he turns his head, he can see the sky.
First thing when he wakes up, he checks out a few Web sites, and if he's not writing his column that day he and Wells will go for a walk on the beach, or they will stroll into Frederiksted and have breakfast at Polly's, a little coffee shop that serves iced lattes and pretty good egg burritos. If he is writing his column, he will start it on the morning of the day it's due, and, if the spirit is with him, he will be done soon after lunch. When he has a draft, he gives it to Wells to edit. Early on, she edited a lot—she had, they felt, a better sense than he did of how to communicate economics to the layperson. (She is also an economist—they met when she was a postdoc at M.I.T. and he was teaching there.) But he's much better at that now, and these days she focusses on making him less dry, less abstract, angrier. Recently, he gave her a draft of an article he'd done for Rolling Stone. He had written, "As Obama tries to deal with the crisis, he will get no help from Republican leaders," and after this she inserted the sentence "Worse yet, he'll get obstruction and lies." Where he had written that the stimulus bill would at best "mitigate the slump, not cure it," she crossed out that phrase and substituted "somewhat soften the economic hardship that we face for the next few years." Here and there, she suggested things for him to add. "This would be a good place to flesh out the vehement objections from the G.O.P. and bankers to nationalization," she wrote on page 9. "Show us all their huffing and puffing before you dismiss it as nonsense in the following graf."
On the rare occasion when they disagree about something, she will be the one urging him to be more outraged or recalcitrant. She pushed him to denounce the filibuster. She wanted him to be more stubborn in holding out for the public option in the health-care bill. He spent a few sleepless nights wrestling with his conscience about that but ultimately decided that a flawed bill was so much better than no bill at all that he had to support it. "You can get beaten down," he says. "When Robin and I started writing about health care, single payer was clearly the way to go. And then bit by bit you start saying, 'O.K., you take what you can get.' There's a trap I've seen some people fall into—you let your vision of what should be get completely taken over by what appears possible right now—and that's something I'm trying to avoid."
In the late afternoon, they lie on beach loungers underneath a clump of sea-grape trees, facing the ocean. Krugman sips a piña colada through a straw and reads the galleys of a book about the financial crisis. They were thinking of having dinner at a place in town, but then they discovered that there was to be an Elvis impersonator singing there, so they decided to go to the Sunset Grill, where the stereo is playing Wings. It's getting buggy on the beach, and Wells hands Krugman a can of Off. The tide is coming in. Krugman puts his book down, eases himself out of his lounger, and, still wearing his hat and sunglasses, wades cautiously into the sea.

The game had long since ended, yet the right-hand number on the scoreboard was still glowing, just below where the Olympic flame was still burning.
On this most scorching, chilling of nights, they looked identical.
the Coliseum? By a football team other than USC?
"We knew we had to get a stop, we had the attitude that we would get a stop " said an exhausted T.J. McDonald.
Nine touchdowns? In front of more than 90,000 screaming fans? By the guys who were being screamed at?
"We just kept feeling, we'd make a stop, we'd make a play " said a befuddled Lane Kiffin.
They didn't. They couldn't. For nearly four long hours, they wouldn't. With their once-proud defense decimated like Pop Warner kids playing against pros, the Trojans fell 62-51 to second-ranked Oregon in a breakneck game that can best be described in italics.
Huff catch, Barner run, Huff catch, Lyerla catch, Thomas catch, boom! OK, that was their scoring drive on their first possession, took barely a minute.
Barner run, Hawkins catch, Mariota run, Barner run, Barner run, Mariota run, Barner run, Huff catch, wham!
That was their next possession, a scoring drive that took about as long as it took you to read the previous three paragraphs.
The game was both breathtaking and bewitching, and will long be remembered by Trojans fans with a bit of pride and a heap of shame.
There was pride in an offense that attempted to match the Ducks blow for blow, with Matt Barkley jabbing for five touchdown passes and Marqise Lee reaching for a dozen balls and the Trojans slugging for 615 total yards.
But there was shame that the offense was given no choice.
"I felt we had to play perfect on offense and score every drive," said Barkley, who was exactly right.
As I was walking back up to the press box after postgame interviews, a wide-eyed fan approached me and said, "I don't think anybody here has ever seen this before."
He's also right. They haven't. The Trojans haven't allowed this many points or this many yards — 730 — in the history of a program that began playing football in 1888.
Of 14 Oregon possessions, only two of them ended because of USC, one punt and one lost fumble. Two more times, the Ducks were halted by the end of the first half and the end of the game. That's right, it was so bad, the clock stopped the Ducks as much as the Trojans.
It was so bad, Ducks running back Kenjon Barner ran right into the thick of the Heisman Trophy race after breaking the Trojans opponent rushing record in the third quarter while finishing with 321 yards and five touchdowns.
"Yeah, I'd have to say that was the best offense I've seen," said McDonald. "I can't change that."
Trojans simply defenseless against high-flying Ducks
Defensive unit and USC's hopes are ground down, giving offense no margin for error in a 62-51 loss to Oregon.

ADA News
ACP president receives HDA Women's Leadership Award
Boca Raton, Fla.—The first female Hispanic president of the American College of Prosthodontists is the recipient of the 2012 Hispanic Dental Association Women's Leadership Award.
|Dr. Garcia
"To receive recognition from my colleagues, who represent my cultural heritage and have experienced similar challenges to achieve excellence in our profession, is so special to me," said Dr. Lily T. Garcia of San Antonio, who received the award in July. "As advocates for strong dental education and best practices in oral health, we strive to improve patient outcomes."
The award recognizes women who have helped to advance the HDA mission, displayed exceptional character and distinguished themselves as outstanding role models in dentistry through service, education, advocacy and leadership.
Dr. Garcia is professor and division head of advanced education and external affairs in the Department of Comprehensive Dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. ACP said her tenure as president marks "a year of national advocacy and collaboration among the dental specialty organizations, and Dr. Garcia has led a comprehensive strategic plan for the ACP's future." She was instrumental in leading ACP's sponsorship—with the ADA and other dental organizations—of the Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives campaign, the first oral health campaign in the Ad Council's 70-year history.
Among other professional activities, she co-authored the texts Removable Partial Dentures: A Clinician's Guide and Osseointegration and Occlusal Rehabilitation.

Burly Mitchell Rock is getting quite a workout splitting logs, his muscled arms flexing firm and strong with every swing of his ax. Landon Mycles is drawn to the hunky woodsman and ambles up close to him with mischief on his mind. Mitchell is equally intrigued. He's anxious to get more familiar with the young man and even put the screws to him, so they start to rock'n'roll. They suck face before Landon goes down to suck cock. Mitchell plants his hand firmly on the back of Landon's head forcing him to bob open-mouth back and forth on his pole. Then Mitchell gets his chance to nurse on Landon's swollen cock and he savors every slurp up and down the dick shaft and then all around his bunghole. Ready for more Mitchell splits his pal's asshole with his cock, fucking him faster and faster, harder and harder. Landon is soaring with pleasure and they carry on until both men explode with spurts of messy mancream.

A newly-released study says San Antonio drivers in 2011 spent roughly the same amount of time sitting in traffic during the entire year as they spent at work during a 40-hour week.
Those are some of the findings of the 2012 Urban Mobility Report released by the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University.
The study also says that drivers in the Alamo City used 16 extra gallons of gas because of traffic delays.
On KSAT's Facebook page, viewers seemed to agree on three main intersections that cause problems for drivers: Loop 1604 and Highway 281, 1604 and Interstate 35, and Loop 410 and Highway 151.
At 1604 and 281, the $131 million project to connect the highways via ramps is nearly complete. The project should last another six to eight weeks, according to the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority.
Drivers can expect periodic delays during that time for resurfacing on the main lanes of 1604 and 281,
At 1604 and I-35, drivers must contend with a ramp closure at Forum Parkway, which is expected to last six months.
The Texas Department of Transportation says the closure is part of the project to bridge traffic on I-35 North headed toward Forum Parkway over traffic along 1604 headed to North I-35.
TxDOT says while it is aware that the interchange of 410 and 151 is a trouble spot for drivers, there are no projects planned to make any changes there.
A TxDOT spokesman says it is a matter of coming up with funding.

Piqua >Consumer Electronics Repair > Ambassador Tv & Electronics
8090 Looney Rd, Piqua, OH | Directions 4535640.152445 -84.216951
Best TV Repair – Technician picked up my LCD television and I had it back in my home repaired within a week. Then the technician went so far as to clean up my hook-ups and wiring. He eliminatied some of the cables that were not necessary. This got rid of the rats nest of wires and cables I had behind my television stand. He also took alot of time explaining how to operate ALL of my equipment to me, even though I only called him for my television repair. He was very friendly and courteous to me showing nothing but respect for me and my equipment. He never made me feel like my questions were stupid or not worth answering. I will not call any other servicer for my electronic equipment.
Worst service ever!! – I have a best buy warranty on my TV. And I was having problems with it a year after I purchased it. And they called up Ambassor tv to come and fix it. A man that was not very nice, seem irritated and annoyed, came to pick it up the first of the month and said he would have it about a week or two, and he'd call in a few days when he found out what was wrong with it. It's now the end of the month and i have heard nothing about my tv. No phone call, NOTHING. I've left several messages and got no responds. They have had it a month now and Im very annoyed. I payed $350 for my warranty and have had no TV for a month now!!! I've called Best buy and talked to customer service and they are now taking over action on getting a hold of them. I'm about ready to go and get the TV myself!!!
Unbelievable – Television was dropped off end of August and still has not been completed. Item was under warranty. Toshiba needed information and this repiar shop constantly fails to provide them the required documentation. I contact them repeatedly and am informed that it will be accomplished. It is now December and I am still waiting. The worst customer service I HAVE EVER experienced and the LAZIEST repair shop. Or maybe they just don't care since the item is under warranty. Unfortunatley I have to use this repair shop because its the only one in the area Toshiba uses. Toshiba even contacts them and they STILL DO NOT PROVIDE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION. They tell me they will call me back and NEVER do. I would never recommend anyone use this shop. I am usually a nice easy going person and I work in customer service and I know how bad it is sometimes to deal with people; however, I have been patient long enough and have dealt with their incompentency to the point where I am far beyond annoyed. Additionally, not only was I speaking with Toshiba while speaking with the repair firm on the documents needed and transferring the information, I was nice about it. Still, this repair firm didn't submit the documentation. I honestly can't believe it. Whoever owns this business should really look into whoever is managing the store and take control. It takes a lot for me to get this way and for the first time in my life I actually want to close down this store. How hard is it to fax paperwork!

I am looking for dark (black or near black) bees with white-ish or gray hairs. I believe that these are a strain of Carniolan honey bees. I once had a hive like this--they were very hairy, much more than my current hives. They were a good hive--very calm and did not require much of their stores over winter. At least that is how I remember them.
Anyone have any of these dark bees with gray hair and sale queens from this stock?

Deadly Dons
Heading an organized crime group requires savvy business skills, decisive leadership and a willingness to prematurely end potential rivals' lives. Here's a look at some of the most powerful Mob bosses of the twentieth century
Bruce Goldman
From the Print Edition:
Francis Ford Coppola, Sept/Oct 03
Alphonse "Scarface Al", Capone Chicago
America's most notorious criminal, Capone evolved from a murderous thug to an astute "businessman" whose stranglehold on bootlegging, gambling and prostitution made him a popular public figure. The flashy mobster grabbed complete control of Chicago following the 1920s gang wars, only to be brought down shortly after by tax evasion.
Charles "Lucky" Luciano Genovese family, New York
Luciano was the most powerful mobster of the twentieth century. He was responsible for eliminating the old-world Sicilian-style Mafia in the early 1930s and founding, with Meyer Lansky, the national syndicate, which encompassed all of the various ethnic crime groups. The commission controlled bootlegging, prostitution, narcotics, gambling, loan sharking and labor rackets.
John Gotti Gambino family, New York
Known both as the Dapper Don (for his impeccably tailored suits) and the Teflon Don (for his onetime ability to avoid convictions), the late Gotti assumed power following the Paul Castellano assassination. A ruthless leader, Gotti was finally convicted on murder and racketeering charges in 1992 and sentenced to life in prison.
Paul Castellano Gambino family, New York
Big Paul, who was named boss by brother-in-law Carlo Gambino, expanded the family's involvement in the garment, trucking and construction rackets, but wasn't respected by his own men. Once he started unleashing a loose tongue about Mafia business, he was gunned down in front of Sparks steak house in Manhattan in 1985.
Carlo Gambino Gambino family, New York
The man whom Mario Puzo modeled the "Godfather" character after was a smart and cunning boss who preferred to keep a low profile. One of the few Mafioso bosses never to serve prison time, Gambino turned the family into the country's most profitable crime organization in the 1960s and '70s.
