Alex Gordon's walk-off home run lifts Royals to 2-1 win over TwinsBlair Kerkhoff, The Kansas City Star
KANSAS CITY -- The Royals, scoreless and mostly feeble at the plate for eight innings, needed one swing of the bat to turn fortunes.
Alex Gordon's swing.
Gordon's two-run home run in the ninth inning gave the Royals a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Twins and protected their game-and-a-half game lead over the Tigers for first place in the American League Central.
Alcides Escobar had opened the ninth inning off left-handed relief pitcher Glen Perkins with a bloop single.
Gordon stepped up and took a strike from Perkins. He drove the next pitch over the wall in right center field for his team-leading 16th home run of the season.
As he wore the head phones awaiting a television interview, Salvador Perez dropped a bucket of ice water on Gordon's head.
Until the ninth, the Royals looked doomed with bats that were missing in action.
After getting solo home runs for their scoring in each of the previous two games, the Royals couldn't muster that against Twins starter Ricky Nolasco to open the three-game series opener.
Nearly wasted was a superb performance by Royals starter Danny Duffy. He pitched six scoreless innings, got nicked in the seventh when Brian Dozier led off with a double down the left-field line, and Joe Mauer followed with a well-place single to center.
About the only excitement early on for the Royals, besides Duffy's pitching, was the glove work at first base by Billy Butler.
In the third, Butler worked like a Gold Glover, first tracking down Kurt Suzuki's foul pop near the tarp.
The hustling catch was nifty enough, but Butler held on to the ball after tripping over second baseman Christian Colon.
Two batters later, Butler gloved a two-hopper in the hole and got the ball to Duffy smoothly enough to nip the sliding Jordan Schafer. The Twins considered a challenge but replays showed the Butler-Duffy combo true.

Freedom of expression, at some level, symbolizes life itself. When we regulate and control, free speech is no longer free. Instead, it becomes tempered by fear of authority and ceases to be a right. This is how it is in India today. The topic of free speech raises a lot of questions, some more pertinent than others given that India is a multicultural, religious society.
- How much free speech should be allowed by law?
- Should there be legal bounds on free speech?
- Should hate speech be made unlawful?
- What constitutes offensive or hate speech? Who decides what is offensive or hurtful?
- Who should have free speech? Individuals? Corporations? Religious leaders? Media?
- What constitutes fair penalties for violations?
- Is it possible to define laws tightly that they will not be abused?
None of these questions can be easily answered. Which is why free speech is such a hard thing to regulate.
Here's my take. In the conflict between free speech and morality, the former always should prevail. And exceptions should be made only when a person's freedom of expression is violated in a manner that can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. In my book, anything goes. Well, nearly everything with the following exceptions:
- Sedition. This goes against the grain of an organized society.
- Copying intellectual property is laziness. It's not free speech. It violates the original author's free speech rights.
- A call to violence (which is proven to incite murder) is not free speech. It's intent to commit homicide.
- Making false claims is not free speech. You cannot lie to sell products.
Everything else is free speech. Like the following examples -
- Hate speech is distasteful, but cannot be outlawed. If you don't like what you hear, feel free to tune out.
- Religious conversion and evangelism should be allowed under free speech laws. If you don't like people being converted, that's too bad. You'll just have to learn to live with it.
- Media should receive special protection under free speech laws. The bar should be set high on slander and libel cases.
- Pornography is free speech too. Child pornography should be illegal as it violates the free speech rights of minors.
- Rap songs which have explicit or misogynist lyrics are made by jackasses. So, don't buy them. Don't outlaw them.
And so it goes. Each new social phenomenon will make us wonder about how much freedom an individual deserves. The answer as always should be, "all of it."
Where do you stand on free speech? Take the poll!

Situation Report
FP's Situation Report: Greene first two-star killed in a warzone since Vietnam; How his name got out; How Israeli hawks drowned debate; A military care package group funded the Tea Party; 5,000 Americans on a "watch list;" and a bit more.
By Gordon Lubold with Nathaniel Sobel
An insider attack in Afghanistan is responsible for the death of a two-star US general. The death of Maj. Gen. Harold Greene at the hands of a man who was apparently serving in the Afghan military yesterday near Kabul sent quiet shockwaves throughout the U.S. military. The Pentagon tried to treat the death of the leader like that of any other soldier who sacrificed in a war zone, even if it was the first two-star general killed in such a way since the Vietnam era. But as politically potent as so-called insider attacks can be, and especially one of this magnitude, it looked unlikely to have an effect on U.S. strategy in Afghanistan one way - or another.
"As tragic as it was to see a senior officer slain, defense officials say insider attacks are way down from where they were in 2012 and there was no reason to think it would accelerate the American drawdown from Afghanistan, or even force the U.S. to redouble its efforts there. Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said yesterday that the investigation into what happened is just getting underway and that Afghan National Security Forces continue to perform "at a very strong level of competenc and confidence and warfare capability."
FP's Lubold and Reid Standish: "...The last confirmed green-on-blue incident occurred in February in Afghanistan's Kapisa province, although, a June 23 attack involving an Afghan police officer and two injured ISAF soldiers is being investigated.
"...Insider attacks against ISAF and Afghan forces hit an all-time high in 2012, resulting in 48 deaths, or approximately 15 percent of coalition casualties that year. In comparison, green-on-blue attacks accounted for six percent of coalition deaths in 2011 and two percent in 2010. Prior to that, only 14 personnel were killed in insider attacks from 2003 to 2009." More here.
Who was Harold Greene? A likeable, "quietly effective leader" with a lot of technical skills who embraced such technology on the battlefield, according to the NYT. More on that from the NYT's Alan Rappeport and Helene Cooper, here.
Greene's son, an Army lieutenant stationed at Fort Sill, Okla, to the WSJ: "He was excited to help out...Obviously, being separated from our family and being separated from my mother was not his first priority, but he was happy to do the job and he really loved his job and he really thought he was making a big difference." More here
The Pentagon tried to treat the death of the two-star like it would any other war fatality. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel did not announce the death - it was confirmed at a press briefing by Pentagon Press Secretary Kirby - and the Pentagon tried to adhere to the same 24-hour notification process for any other soldier - only identifying the soldier 24 hours after the family had been notified. The thinking was that whether it's a senior officer or a private, a death in a warzone is still tragic and the family of the fallen warrior must be given due privacy as it is notified. But this one was different, of course. Defense officials would not confirm Greene's identity, but naturally, his name surfaced. We believe the first mainstream media outlet to identify Greene was the Washington Post by reporter Dan Lamothe, and then a number of other media outlets, to include AP, followed suit. Some will argue that the family should have been given enough time to be notified and that the media should have shown self-restraint in identifying the fallen officer. Others will say that the military's policy when it comes to such notifications must reflect today's real-time media environment.
Lamothe's bit on Maj. Gen. Keith Ware, the last two-star killed, in Vietnam in 1968, and others, here.
Meantime, why are the Taliban are killing doctors administering polio vaccinations in Pakistan. Kristofer Harrison for FP: "...The reason the Taliban is suddenly against the polio vaccine isn't because of Jenny McCarthy-led anti-vaccine lunacy. Rather, it's because the Taliban and tribal leaders fear that it is a CIA plot. They have drawn this conclusion because the CIA famously used a hepatitis vaccine program to confirm the location of Osama bin Laden. The operative word in that sentence isn't 'CIA' but 'famously.' In other words, the problem isn't that the CIA used that tactic -- it's that President Obama bragged about it for political gain. After the May 2011 raid of Osama bin Laden's compound, the Democrats leveraged positive PR to help win re-election -- a welcome distraction from a lethargic economy and a weak foreign policy. Administration and CIA officials were spread to the four corners of Hollywood to spread the Good News about the Pakistan raid." More here.

With a cease-fire holding in the Middle East, a battered Hamas now begins its battle with enemies within for control over the future of the Strip. FP's David Kenner: "...Now comes the spin game: Hamas will no doubt tout its success. It has withstood some Israeli leaders' calls to eliminate the movement in the Gaza Strip, fired thousands of rockets into Israel, and proved a far deadlier opponent for the Israeli military than in previous conflicts. Its popularity is also surging in the West Bank, a fact admitted by Palestinian leaders with no love for the Islamist movement, and confirmed by public opinion polls.
"But the threats facing Hamas are also looming ever larger. The economic destruction in Gaza is estimated at over $4 billion, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the rehabilitation of the Palestinian territory be linked to Hamas's demilitarization. It finds itself beset by enemies from all sides: Not only do Israel and Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi control the crossings into and out of Gaza, but partisans of Hamas and Fatah -- despite frequent pronouncements of Palestinian unity -- still nurse a healthy distrust of one another." More here.
Ha'aretz's Barak Ravid unpacks Netanyahu's missed diplomatic opportunities in Gaza, here.
How Israel's hawks intimidated and silenced the last remnants of the anti-war left. Gregg Carlstrom for FP: "...Even before the war, Israel was shifting right, as an increasingly strident cadre of politicians took ownership of the public debate on security and foreign affairs. But the Gaza conflict has accelerated the lurch -- empowering nationalistic and militant voices, dramatically narrowing the space for debate, and eroding whatever public sympathy remained for the Palestinians. The fighting seems to be winding down, but it leaves behind a hardened Israeli public opinion: There is a widespread feeling that Israelis are the true victims here, that this war with a guerrilla army in a besieged territory is existential." More here.
Will the Palestinians go to the ICC? FP's Colum Lynch: "...Last week, Abbas convened a meeting of Palestinian factions to ask for their written consent to join the ICC, according to human rights advocates tracking the talks. Most, including members of Fatah, the political movement founded by Yasser Arafat, as well as the Palestinian Liberation Organization, support a bid for membership. The Palestinians' U.N.-based representative, Riyad Mansour, assured delegations last week that his government is 'very close' to a decision, according to a senior diplomat briefed by the Palestinians. But Gaza's most powerful militant groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, are opposed and Abbas is reluctant to join without their support. " More here.
Back at home, Move America Forward has collected millions to send care packages to U.S. troops - but its assets have been used to benefit conservative political consulting firms close to its Tea Party founder. Kim Barker for Pro Publica, posted on the Daily Beast: "...Move America Forward calls itself the nation's "largest grassroots pro-troop organization," and has recruited a bevy of Republican luminaries, including former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney, to support its efforts. Yet an examination of its fundraising appeals, tax records and other documents shows that Move America Forward has repeatedly misled donors and inflated its charitable accomplishments, while funneling millions of dollars in revenue to the men behind the group and their political consulting firms.

Secret papers describe the size of the U.S. government's "watch list." The NYT's Charlie Savage on the list posted by Intercepts blog yesterday: "About 20,800 United States citizens and permanent residents are included in a federal government database of people suspected of having links to terrorism, of whom about 5,000 have been placed on one or more watch lists, newly disclosed documents show. The documents are briefing materials about accomplishments in 2013 by the Directorate of Terrorist Identities, a component of the National Counterterrorism Center, an interagency clearinghouse of information about people known to be or suspected of being terrorists." More here.
In Russia, Putin urges economic retaliation for the West's sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine. The NYT's Neil MacFarquhar and Andrew Roth: "Russia should retaliate against the economic sanctions being imposed on the country over the Kremlin's Ukraine policy, President Vladimir V. Putin said Tuesday. His was the strongest endorsement yet for calls in Russia to ban everything from major Western accounting firms to overflights by European airlines to frozen American chickens. Mr. Putin said that Russia should signal that it finds the economic sanctions offensive, but that it should do so without harming Russian consumers."
Putin as quoted by Russian news agencies: "The political tools of economic pressure are unacceptable and run counter to all norms and rules." More here.

If South Africa's political factions could reconcile, so can South Sudan's warring parties. Desmond Tutu for FP: "...This week, the people of South Sudan will wait for a conversation to begin again, one that could lead their country out of months of extreme suffering -- or could fail to bring them any resolution. Peace talks between South Sudan's two warring factions are set to resume on Aug. 10 in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, hosted by the East Africa regional body, the International Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD)." More here.
If the United States wants to save Africa from corruption, coups, and terrorism, it needs to stop spending money on military engagement. Gordon Adams for FP: "The White House is hosting a major summit of African leaders this week. Elected and unelected heads of state and officials from nearly 50 African countries are in Washington, D.C., to discuss the future of the U.S. relationship with Africa. The sad part about this meeting is that the administration's Africa policy is gaining visibility and attention not so much because of progress in African economic development but because of heightened U.S. attention to security issues in that continent. The single-mindedness of the administration's focus on terrorism and security has dragged the United States, and especially the U.S. military, into the internal security affairs of a growing number of African countries, from the 14 countries involved in the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) program to Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Niger, Liberia, and now Nigeria." More here.
...But while nearly 50 African heads of state convene in D.C., one of the continent's biggest defense contractors is making a pitch to let Africa have more advanced weapons. The Daily Beast's Eli Lake: "For arms maker Ivor Ichikowitz, the message is simple: Give war a chance. Ichikowitz is the executive chairman of Paramount Group, the largest privately-owned defense contractor on the African continent. He says he is attending the summit in Washington to make the case to the Obama administration that African countries should be encouraged to build up their own intelligence services, militaries, and national police to combat the continent's rogues, insurgents, and fanatics.
"Needless to say, human rights groups are not exactly thrilled about the proposal, which just so happens to dovetail rather nicely with Ichikowitz's business interests. They don't even need to mention his rather tangled relationships with some of Africa's leaders, past and present." More here.
Amid the battle against Boko Haram, Nigeria is hit with accusations of abuse. US News & World Report's Paul Shinkman, here.
With African leaders in town, Obama is playing deal broker. The NYT's Mark Landler: "President Obama convened a giant game of 'Let's Make a Deal' between the United States and Africa on Tuesday, bringing together nearly 50 African leaders with American investors for what he promised would be a long-term partnership that went beyond extracting 'minerals from the ground for our growth.' For Mr. Obama, the son of a Kenyan economist, it was the centerpiece of a three-day summit meeting of African leaders - some close allies of the United States, others barely on speaking terms - that is the president's most ambitious attempt to cement his legacy as an American leader who cares about the African continent."

Endless Update Attempts On PC Shutdown
Every time I shut down the PC, Windows 7 tries to install 9 updates. Next day, when I shut down again, I find it is again trying to install 9 updates. It keeps doing this over and over, forever. Yesterday, the number went up to 11.
It looks like something causes the update procedure to fail and so it keeps on trying the same updates over and over again, seemingly forever. It is frankly a mystery to me as to WHY it should fail in the first place, since it it basically Windows 7 trying to update Windows 7. What could be the problem with that?! But there we are...
Anyway, it wastes a lot of time when I am waiting for the computer to shut down, which seems to take 10-15 minutes nowadays. Is there any way to get the updates to work, or else to stop it doing this the whole time?
On a related issue, it seems to be impossible to upgrade to IE9. I tried doing this manually several times but keep finding that it unwinds back to IE8. I was told by my computer person that the only was to do it is to do a complete new installation of Windows 7, but this will wipe out everything I have installed, which could take days or weeks to reinstall again. Hence, this is not an option.
Any ideas on any of the above would be appreciated. Thank you.

Break-Up Rumors, Is Faye Wong Single Again?
- By Zach Selby
- Beijing
- Last updated on
Hot news
- Love November 17, 2014
- Rumor November 2014
Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Faye Wong, 45, and her partner had split up. Is the Chinese singer really single again?
UPDATE 21/11/2014 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Wong spotted alone
A fan spotted Faye Wong walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of November 19, 2014. Was she all alone? "Definitely yes," says the fan, adding that "She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!"
Is Faye back on the market?
A rep for Faye Wong was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Thursday (November 20), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
"Has anyone Faye's phone number?"
— Mike Whedon (@mikywhedon) November 20, 2014
"Hate to see Wong split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird."
— AaronJ (@aaronjj) November 20, 2014
Based on the facts (Wong spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?

DEEPER LEARNING - 3rd Annual Conference
Wednesday, April 1 through Friday, April 3
Deeper Learning 2015 is the premier international event for educators pursuing deeper learning in schools. In 2010, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation convened a group of leaders from some of the leading organizations in deeper learning. Over the past few years this deeper learning community of practice has met, collaborated, and pushed each other's thinking. The Deeper Learning conference came from the desire to bring the teachers and school leaders from those organizations along with others from across the country to do what the most successful learners do: work together to find reasonable and implementable solutions to authentic problems facing us today. This conference aims to connect educators who are implementing deeper learning in their schools, generate and better support deeper learning ideas in classrooms and help educators reflect on their own practice.
Registration begins November 17th. More details, including the DL 2015 website will be posted shortly.
To view last year's program: 2014 Deeper Learning Program

SUMMER INSTITUTE - Sharing Best Practices
Monday, June 22 through Wednesday, June 24, 2015
The Summer Institute is HTH Learning's largest annual event. Practitioners, school leaders, community partners, and charter and small school advocates from across the country come to High Tech High to learn about our principles and practices and to network with colleagues engaged in new school development and reform efforts. The Institute features interactive sessions on topics such as project-based learning, integrating math and science, working with diverse learners in heterogeneous classrooms, and more.
2014 Summer Institute Program (PDF)
If you or a team from your school would like to visit our schools for additional days before or after a residency or institute or experience a personalized residency with school tours on alternative dates, please visit: http://www.hightechhigh.org/tours/. Presentations of Learning, where students reflect on their learning using evidence from their digital portfolios to a panel of faculty and community members, also occur at some of our schools in mid-December and mid-June.
At your school site!
HTH teachers, school leaders and faculty from the graduate school of education are available to visit your school and facilitate professional development with faculty. We offer the following workshops, as well as personalized workshops based on the interests and needs of your school. All of our workshops are interactive and hands-on, with most involving the use of video and other media to facilitate reflective conversations.
This workshop is designed for schools new to project based learning, particularly those who wish to build buy-in and work toward a common vision of teaching and learning. Faculty reflect on significant learning experiences from their own lives to extract core features of meaningful learning experiences in general. They then engage in a backwards design process, guided by these features and Adria Steinberg's 6 As, to design an engaging, rigorous project for their students, which they tune with colleagues. Participants leave with a project proposal and feedback on that proposal to guide their next steps.
Inspired by our work with Ron Berger in fostering an ethic of excellence with students, HTH teachers incorporate student-driven processes for critique and revision to support the creation of beautiful work. Participants will learn how to support the design of high quality products in project-based learning environments, and how to create classroom cultures where students see each other as useful resources in improving their work.
Faculty explore the role of video in collegial coaching to support teacher reflection and collaboration. Participants will analyze video of teaching, engage in role plays, and leave with ideas and tools to support collegial coaching in their own schools.
Faculty explore the art of facilitation and use of protocols to guide purposeful conversations about teaching and learning. Participants will engage in various protocols - ranging from project tunings to dilemmas consultancies to looking at student work - and reflect on how to improve teacher-led dialogue about teaching and learning at their schools.
UnBoxed: The Journal of Adult Learning in Schools is a journal of reflections on purpose, practice and policy in education, published twice yearly by the High Tech High Graduate School of Education. Educators from our K-12 schools and graduate school, as well as educational innovators and reformers from around the country, share fierce wonderings and reflections on their work. We welcome submissions from teachers, administrators, students, teacher educators, policymakers, researchers, and other informed observers of education. All content is freely available online and designed to engage, inspire, and provoke. [Click here] to peruse or purchase UnBoxed.
Read, respond, and join in the conversation!
Join us for the Education UnBoxed Speaker Series, discussions with innovative thinkers and change agents leading school reform efforts across the country. Discussions are designed to be interactive and engage participants both face-to-face in San Diego and online, live through Elluminate. Past speakers have included Howard Fuller, Gary Orfield, Michael Horn, James Gee and Geoffrey Cohen on topics related to desegregation, the achievement gap, stereotype threat, and innovative uses of technology to build communities that traverse race, class and gender boundaries. [Click here] for more information about the next Speaker Series event.
These events are free and open to the public.

A word from Wildfire - Schaumburg
Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special. From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen. Signature dishes include Horseradish Crusted Filet Mignon, Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, Wildfire Chopped Salad and Cedar Planked Salmon. So order a signature martini or one of our many wines by the glass, then sit back and enjoy the 1940s supper club experience of Wildfire.Continued

- First time visit - not quiet convincedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/26/2014We received gift cards for the lettuce chain restaurants and decided to try Wildfire out over lunch. First, although the restaurant was half empty they wouldn't give me the table until the 2nd guest arrived and didn't tell me that in a nice way. Then the wait for the food was on the long side for lunch - 20-25min for a medium-rare burger and ribs. The ribs were really good though and the bread of the burger was heaven-ish. We then had to wait another 10min for the check: Everything just seemed to take a little too long, especially given that the restaurant wasn't that full. And then they just made it a little complicated with us wanting to pay with gift cards and wanting to enroll in their program, but we wouldn't get points because we weren't paying with actual money...We have quiet a bit left on the gift card but I think we'll try the other restaurants first before considering returning to Wildfire.
- Our favorite place!chicagobobVIPDined on 11/22/2014We love Schaumburg Wildfire! Without any qualification it is the best dining place in the Woodfield Area! From the moment you arrive through the dining experience, we are never disappointed with our meal or our service due to the outstanding employees and management at the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food - and fun for a group!LisaWDined on 11/22/2014We like to go to Wildfire when we have group and/or family celebrations. We have never had a bad meal; and the service we receive is always friendly and helpful. We even like the valet parking. It does tend to get pretty noisy in the restaurant-- which adds to the energy level (which is good); but sometimes the noise level makes it harder for the older members of our party to keep track of the conversation. But even so, we really love it and continue to come back for family dinners!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dessert was the highlightRalphDined on 11/22/2014Met some old friends here last weekend and had a good time. House wine was very good and our entrees were fine (NY strip steak special, cod special and a chicken dish). Nothing spectacular although the brussels sprouts were very good! Dessert was definitely the highlight -- pumpkin pie and a chocolate chip cookie sundae. I wasn't going to order any dessert because the portions were so big, but then the waitress told us you could order any dessert as a half portion. Sold! Just the right amount.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Same As Always...KennethVIPDined on 11/21/2014Which is a good thing. Food is always very good as is the service..I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedHealthyGirlDined on 11/21/2014Really was looking forward to celebrating my daughters birthday . We ordered 3 orders of medallions, a filet, and salmon. Salmon had an unidentifiable balsamic sauce on it and I had to send it back. I really dislike sending food back. Out if the 3 orders of medallions, one was over cooked and cold and not medium as ordered. My sons medallions were perfect. My husbands filet was good. So sad to not have consistency in the same dish at the same table. Disappointed at overlooked veggies that came with my side. We go out often and unfortunately this once favored spot felt like a chain. Yes I know it is but other LEYE places have not disappointed like this one. 😞
- Excellent service. First rate.SherryDVIPDined on 11/21/2014They always remember us and save our favorite booth. The Bison filet is delicious and the new tuscan kale salad is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- keep coming backperfectVIPDined on 11/21/2014Just a wonderful consistent meal. The staff seems to never miss a beat in proper preparation a n d service. Always good and keep coming backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot for business get togethersfuzzydogDined on 11/20/2014The Wildfire is one of thsoe special places that leave a memoriable impression. Service is impeccable and the food ti delightful. If you can make it to desert the deserts are fantastic.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 11/15/2014was very dissappointed, made it cleat on online reseration comments that it was my wifes 55th bday, yet no acknowledgement after dinner with a little cake or some kind of desert, were rushed out kinda because of 2 hour wait for diners?I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent foodTigerDined on 11/15/2014Went here with my wife on a Saturday night. Food and service was awesome. Had 7:45 reservations. Got there at 6 so we sat in bar, met a few different people; everyone including staff was very friendly. We had a great time. Our table was ready right on time. Had filets which were perfect! Great night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to make a memory.CraigDined on 11/15/2014Went there for our third anniversary on a Saturday night...extremely busy place..had a reservation, had to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time but that was ok. Waiter's name was Mike and was one of the best I have encountered in my life, even brought us a free desert for our anniversary...very nice touch that will bring me back here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent good food and service.BarbaraVIPDined on 11/15/2014We take friends, family and out of towners for dinner and drinks. The food and service are consistently good with no bad surprises. This time we took friends from Indianapolis and they truly enjoyed their meal. One actually made pleasant sounds while eating his steak. I like the flexibility one has in mixing up the vegetables to go along with their meat. They are accommodating and try to please without making you feel they are doing you a favor. Consistently good.Special Features:
- Good LunchJES3Dined on 11/15/2014Met friends for a late lunch on a Saturday. The food was very good. We especially appreciated being allowed to sit and talk after finishing our meal, instead of getting the rush to leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- userkaren214VIPDined on 11/15/2014Good food-there for a BD with another couple. There were 4 of us-we all enjoyed our meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date nightDinnerdateDined on 11/14/2014My husband and I were so happy to have a night out. We had a 7:15 reservation but did not get seated until 7:45. While waiting we ordered a drink from the overly packed bar, there was not one seat at the bar, and not much room to stand anywhere either, I personally felt uncomfortable. Once we got seated I felt that the seats are on top of eachother and the dinning room is very loud. The service was great and the food was fantastic, the crab cake with the Avalon seafood platter was the best I ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/13/2014Six of us went to wildfire at 7:30 on a Thursday night. We've all been to this restaurant many times, and we enjoy it. However, first they were out of the bottle of wine we ordered. Ok, that happens, no problem. Then they were out of that night's special (duck) when two of us tried to order that. (They didn't say, ahead of time, "we're out of duck"; rather they waited until some of us ordered it.). Finally when one of us ordered the ice cream sundae for dessert, they came back and said they were out of ice cream! Really??? The manager apologized, and comped us two desserts, but this was way below what I expect at Wildfire. I'll give them another chance, hoping this was just a fluke. But if it happens again, I'm done with them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great MealDbldVIPDined on 11/11/2014Took a group there, great service and outstanding meal. Everyone enjoyed themselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PapaDined on 11/11/2014Service started out iffy but got better as we progressed All food was as ordered. We were at a bad seating location do to a repair being done on front door Made it very drafty while eating perhaps a screen at the door to block the wind. On the way out my wife ordered a pie to go lady never came back left without itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointedDinersDined on 11/10/2014I cannot tell you how disappointed we were in the food Monday night (40th bd celebration) the food was embarrassing. My daughter's new boyfriend was with us for the first time and we were embarrassed by the NY Strip steak he ordered. Looked like something you would get from Outback Steakhouse and definitely not 12 ounces. My granddaughter does not eat meat so the server recommended something from the lunch menu. Well, it looked as though it was left over from lunch. Unidentifiable vegetables and dried out pasta! Coconut shrimp were cold and dry, skirt steak was cold, prime rib dip sandwich was all bread, and no meat, and my daughter's trio of filet was the size of three quarters side by side by side. So disappointed!Special Features:
- steady and consistentNikb313VIPDined on 11/9/2014I go to Wildfire alot. Because the food is great, the supper club atmosphere is classy and the service is usually great. If you are a martini drinker, you have to try the stormy night. The lunch stuffed burgers are to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love WildfireLuv4foodVIPDined on 11/9/2014We are a frequent diners at WF for both lunch/dinner, perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon meal. First time that we sat in bar which was fairly empty so it was quite it was also the first time service was not the best. I'm sure he was a veteran server but he lacked attentiveness. The salmon chopped salad should indicate raw or cooked salmon otherwise good experience. I have always recommended Wildfire and will continue to do so, it is a great meal, fairly priced and relaxing atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wildfireavila1Dined on 11/8/2014The Waiter was very informative and polite. The over experience at the restaurant was very pleasurable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeDuffman9000Dined on 11/8/2014We wanted to treat our very best friends for dinner.

Thanks Wildfire!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scallop heavenfoodie11Dined on 11/8/2014My husband brought me here for my birthday dinner. I wanted to dine here specifically for the scallops and wild rice pilaf. I have dreams about this meal!It is so wonderfully good.The warm breads,the beet and goat cheese salad,the French onion soup and lobster and shrimp bisque were all excellent.Our service was good and we were not rushed so it made for an enjoyable evening!Special Features:

- Fairly pricySweenyDined on 11/8/2014Service was fair to good, but the food was just so-so. Husband's coconut shrimp looked over cooked. My pork loin was tough and on the dry side. The tenderloin round and lamb chop were delicious. Food is pricy and I guess I expected more from what I thought was a cut above the rest restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationluvtogolf7Dined on 11/8/2014My wife, son and I had an early dinner at Wildfire Schaumburg on Saturday, 11/08/14. It was a fantastic experience! The food quality has always been top-notch here and this evening was no exception. My wife and I had one of the specials, the nut-encrusted halibut...marvelous!! Rarely can you find halibut anywhere so this was special. The server couldn't do enough for us, he was very attentive. This was my wife's birthday and I had requested via OpenTable that a small dessert be brought to the table after the meal. This was done without me having to remind anyone at the restaurant about my request and the three of us shared the delicious warm chocolate fudge brownie that was served. We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Anderssen defined romanticism's inherently dramatic and correct combinational core. Chigorin championed this essence in splendid opposition to an emerging new classical consensus. Réti revealed the extraordinary power of new flank openings. Larsen confounded the overly sober, scientific Soviet "school" at innumerable turns. In the computer age, Morozevich constantly discovers new depths to chess, while simply oozing exquisite strokes in his best games

Make room for one more on the John Mayer bandwagon!
After the singer's rousing, three-song performance at Tony Bennett's Exploring The Arts Gala in Manhattan Tuesday night, emcee Whoopi Goldberg took to the stage smiling like a teenaged girl.
"Oh my God! How cute is John Mayer?" The View host, 52, said to the cheering crowd, which included Gayle King, Regis Philbin, Terrence Howard and Quincy Jones. "In the old days, I'da snatched him up," she continued to roars of laughter. "Now, I'm too tired."

Meet the season 12 cast of The View.
Look familiar? Well, that's because it is.
Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar will all be back to co-host the ABC daytime show when it returns Sept. 2 after a summer hiatus. But, for the first time, the five ladies have been photographed together. (Remember, Shepherd was a late addition to season 11 – and was never part of any of the show's early photos.)
The photo shoot took place in New York – and the cohosts had plenty to do in between frames. The women danced to Tina Turner's hit "Proud Mary" and Janet Jackson tunes. (Shepherd is a huge Janet fan.)
Between takes Behar also worked on solving a New York Times crossword puzzle, while Shepherd caught up on e-mail and Goldberg practiced the music and script for her role in Xanadu on Broadway.

Broadway came out swinging Sunday night for the 62nd annual Tony Awards, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.
August: Osage County was named best play and won five awards in all, while In the Heights was the recipient of four Tonys, including best musical.
Besides the top award, In the Heights, a celebration of Latin-community life in Upper Manhattan, was recognized for its orchestration, choreography and score, with its writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, stopping the show with his acceptance speech – delivered, in breathtaking fashion, as a rap song.

A promised phone call of apology came from the producer of the Oscars to Whoopi Goldberg, after Sunday night's telecast neglected her during a montage highlighting hosts from past ceremonies, Goldberg said on Wednesday's The View.
"Gil Cates called me yesterday," Goldberg said on the ABC daytime show. "He made an oversight, pure and simple."

Whoopi Goldberg's omission from an Oscar montage – perceived by her and others to be a slight that left the View host in tears – was "an absolute oversight," the award show's producer tells PEOPLE.
"No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Gil Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that."

"Very goodWorked out of the box, clear enough instructions and literally within 5 mins, I was up and running at anywhere between 250 and 300 mb/s - not the 500 on the box, but I wasn't expecting that."
"Works greatGot a set of these as the wifi reception in my house is slow and unstable and seemed like a better alternative than running cables. Lots of Powerline products claim 200 or 500mbps but that is impossible to deliver as they contain only a 100mbps network connection. This product has a gigabit connection and so is able to deliver >100mbps. For me around 300-350mbs which is fine for streaming even HD content. One warning -- These plugs prefer direct connection to a wall socket, plugging into extension sockets can reduce the speed and cause connectivity problems. Overall a great product that i'd recommend"

Here's a rendering by Gerald Alvarez of the F12 6-series coupe rear view, based on a recent set of 6-series photos we posted. The render is of course gorgeous, so do you think it's accurate? Share inside.
Resident photoshop guru Gerald Alvarez has almost hit the BMW M1 design on the head with his latest beautiful render. So close in fact that BMW insider Scott26 thought that he was looking at official pictures when spotted Gerald's latest M1 impression!
Here's the latest F30 3-series sedan rendering by Auto Motor und Sport. Expected to debut in two years (2012), but buzz surrounding the BMW F30 is that it will be a revolutionary (rather than evolutionary) change from the E90.
We just posted the latest BMW M1 / 1M spyshots yesterday, but Gerald Alvarez has already been hard at work photochopping the car based on the latest hints from the spy photos. He's even added the M styling cues that are so far missing from the test mule.
Resident photoshopper Gerald Alvarez has now put his imagination and photoshop skills to work on the next 6-series convertible (F13), based on our recent spy photos of the F12 6-series coupe and F13 6-series convertible.
Jon Sibal has basically uncovered the upcoming 2011 X3 by the magic of photoshop. Using the spy photos posted this week, he has virtually peeled back all of the X3′s remaining camouflage to reveal what we believe is a very accurate impression of what the production X3 will look like.
5post member Alpine325ci (Gerald Alvarez) continues his stunning M5 photoshops. What we're seeing are not only beautiful impressions of the F10 M5, but also some of the most life-like versions we've seen. Full set of new images inside.
Member Alpine325ci (Gerald Alvarez) has been photoshopping beautiful BMW renders for a long while now. He now takes a crack at predicting the new M5 (F10). Check them out.
With word that the BMW M5 will come in an F11 touring flavor as well, Artist and BMW fan Jon Sibal has come up with an amazing photoshop of what the F11 M5 may look like. He has in the past conceptualized an F10 M5 Sedan, take a look below!

French publication Automobile Magazine has just published these new renderings on what a possible next generation F30 3-Series could look like. While my first gut instinct when looking at these was that they took the concept 5-Series GT Clay Models very sleek front end design and applied it to the future 3-Series I have to say the result does work. The details are still a bit to concept-ish and aggressive for a production 3-series, but the general underlying theme does flow quite nice and … CONTINUED
BMW tuner RDSport has always been good about coming up with conceptuals on new tuning packages on BMWs and putting them into play via photoshop. Many times, they get their work out before the car has even hit the streets in an official capacity, as in this case. Although details are still thin on this car, I love the proposed bodywork and the wheels suit the new bodykit well. Heres to hoping we see the real deal soon enough!
The F10 Alpina B5 has been undergoing testing near Alpina's headquarters. The F10 B5 is expected to be based on the F10 550i, with a reworked 4.4L N63 motor (V8 twin turbo). The new B5 features the current signature front bumper lip, sideskirts, wheels, quad exhaust, and raised trunk lid. An impression of the final B5 is below.

|Phase I Study of the Hsp90 Inhibitor, PU-H71, in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors and Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
|Brief Summary
- PU-H71 is an experimental drug used to treat cancer. It works by blocking a protein in tumors. When this protein is blocked, it affects other proteins inside the cell that cancers need to grow. Researchers want to study whether PU-H71 is a safe and effective way to treat solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PU-H71 in solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatments.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have solid tumors or non-Hodgkin s lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatments.
|Detailed Description
-PU-H71 is a synthetic HSP90 inhibitor which can bind both open and closed conformations of HSP90. It demonstrates extended tumor retention and client protein degradation, while being rapidly cleared from normal tissues. It has shown complete tumor responses and retained sensitivity to retreatment in vivo.
Primary Objectives:
Secondary Objectives:
-Study participants must have histologically confirmed solid tumor malignancy or low-grade non-Hodgkin s lymphoma that has progressed or recurred after at least one line of chemotherapy or for which no standard treatment option exists; no therapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study; age greater than or equal to 18 years; ECOG less than or equal to 2; life expectancy > 3 months; and adequate organ and marrow function.

Oil giant Halliburton has decided to move its headquarters to the United Arab Emirates in order to better exploit Mideast opportunities. The controversial company has had much success in the region, with no-bid contracts in Iraq helping it pull in $22.6 billion in global revenues in 2006.
Halliburton, the oil services company formerly headed by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, is moving its headquarters from Texas to Dubai.
The company said it hoped the move to the United Arab Emirates would help it expand its business in the Middle East.
Halliburton won valuable contracts in Iraq following the U.S.-led invasion of 2003, some of which were awarded without competitive bidding.
