Dwight Howard is visibly not the same player he was before undergoing back surgery.
"Dwight Howard is basically Kosta Koufos," said one NBA executive on Wednesday.
"If you dropped in from another planet and had no idea who the players were, you would never know that Dwight Howard was one of the best players," said another executive.
Howard was ejected from Wednesday's loss by the Lakers to the Nuggets.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> Upland's boys basketball team got off to a good start. Etiwanda had a better finish.
Neither team was left completely satisfied.
In the end it was Etiwanda that rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat Upland 55-45 in a Baseline League contest on Tuesday night at Etiwanda High School.
Upland (13-8 overall, 2-3 league) got off to a quick start, leading Etiwanda (19-3, 5-0) by as many as seven points early in the second quarter.
And the Highlanders still led at halftime before Etiwanda rallied.
"We didn't come out with energy like we normally do. … We cleaned it up and in the end, and at the end of the day, a win is a win," Etiwanda senior guard Jordan McLaughlin said.
Said Etiwanda coach Dave Kleckner: "I didn't think we were focused. We came out feeling too good about ourselves after the last couple of games, when we played well. I felt we lacked discipline on both ends of the court."
The comeback, not surprisingly, was fueled by the Eagles' defense, which held the Highlanders to three points over a stretch of more than seven minutes in the third quarter.
"Our defense always leads to our offense," McLaughlin said. "We're known for our defense. Our defense came to play tonight. We got a lot of fastbreaks and easy points."
Upland scored on a basket by Solomon Hunt in the opening seconds of the third quarter to take a 27-24 lead, then the Eagles went on a 15-3 run to take the lead for good.
"I felt like they stepped up their defense in the second half," Upland coach John McNally said. "We played hard to the end, but eventually, we need to learn how to win these games."
Upland senior guard Deangelo Stowers led the Highlanders with 22 points, including 10 in the first quarter.
"He did what a senior leader is supposed to do," McNally said. "He came out and settled us down."
After the defensive seven-minute stand by Etiwanda in the third quarter, the Eagles' defense continued to excel, holding Upland to just seven second-half points in the first 12 minutes of the half.
The Highlanders scored 12 of their points in the final 3 ½ minutes, but Upland could get no closer than eight points in the final minutes.
"We picked it up in the second half," Kleckner said. "But we can't come out (slow) like that and expect to turn it on."
McLaughlin had 22 points, five assists and three steals, Kameron Edwards had 14 points, 14 rebounds and four steals and Kenny Barnes had 11 points and nine rebounds for the Eagles, who had 15 turnovers, the most they've had in a league game this season.
Marquis Reed added nine points and five rebounds for Upland, but was just 1-of-5 from the free throw line in the second half.

Last night, between innings and commercials, I watched "Great Performances: Carnegie Hall Opening Night" on Public Television. Soprano Renee Fleming sang Richard Strauss's last four songs ... it was beautiful.
But what really struck me was that this woman looked like an older, heftier version of my old friend Staci (you know, the childhood beauty contest winner I wrote about a while back in Plaquemaniacs and Pagentry).
This was a very Mom-D-like observation, and I am not a little ashamed of it. See, when my mom and grandmother (Mom-D) went to the National Galley of Art on a Washington, D.C., vacation, they spent a lot of time in the Portrait Gallery. Rather than admire the artwork and the historical significance of what she was seeing, Mom-D was fixated on remembering old relatives. She'd look at a portrait of John Adams or Martin Van Buren and say, "You know, that looks like old Uncle Ebenezer ... Chickie's second cousin. You know Chickie ... She was a Callegan before she married Joe-Bob. You don't remember Joe-Bob? He was Winky's brother. You remember Joe-Bob."
My poor mom. This was apparently par for the course for the entire portrait gallery. Everyone looked like someone, as far as my beloved grandmother was concerned. And everyone was related to someone else that, if you followed the circuitous family line long enough, you'd reach someone that my mom actually knew, so she could say, "Oh, yes," and they could move on to the next portrait.
So there I was last night, watching this wonderful soprano performing beautiful Strauss songs at Carnegie Hall, and my foremost thought was, "That's Staci. Shave off a few pounds, put her in a cute office outfit, and sit her behind a desk at a CPA firm, and you've got Staci."
Oh, every now and then they'd show her at an angle where she was the spitting image of Mrs. Betty (you know Betty, Staci's mama ... Carolyn's big sister ... she was a Schafer before she married Orney ... ).
Did I spell Schafer right? Shafer? Schaffer?
I'd better get to work. Really.

I once again enjoyed reading about myself and looking a potential older me. I did see a Schafer resemblence in her eyes, but as I looked at the rest of her I thought "There is no way, from the neck down, anybody in the Schafer clan could ever resemble this woman without major cosmetic surgery! All of us can look down and see straight to our feet without bending over. The woman was very pretty and I wish I could have half that beauty with age. I read the story about Dan being away. How sweet! It sounds like you two have an awesome relationship. Keep that fire burning!

I'm a sucker for period dramas. I find the recreations of bygone eras more than interesting and when they're done well they truly do transport you back in time to that point in history. The lastest such film that has flown onto my radar is The White Countess. The movie stars Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson as a U.S. diplomat and Russian exile who cross paths and fall in love in 1930's Shanghai.
I love it. The only way that I could enjoy this poster more was if they had produced like a one-sheet from the 30's and painted it. Had they done so it would fit in well with any film from that period and would have graduated from great to absolutely spectacular. As it is, the image of Fiennes and Richardson in a passionate embrace is simple yet immensly powerful. Love it.
The trailer does a very nice job of setting up the main plot – that of the love story between Fiennes and Richardson- as well as the subplot – the political intrigue that's going on around them. Based on this it seems emotions are not over-the-top, as they sometimes tend to be in this type of film. Instead everything seems to be evenkeeled and under control.
Most of the site is made up of the standard elements. Story, About, Cast and such. My favorite part is the Links section. The main players in the cast and crew get links to their IMDb entries as well as official or fan-run sites. That's a really good way to let people find out more about the movie and it's players by embracing these outside sites. Excellent sense of belonging to a community as opposed to making yourself look like you think you're the only fish in the ocean.
Very well done, if a bit sparse, campaign for a movie that will probably be looking for at least a few Oscar nods come time. The poster is absolutely fantastic, the trailer is above average and the website gets points for it's communal outreach. I like it.

Wow, I'm not sure what possessed Jessica Alba, the uber-sextastic mother of two, to choose this particular revealing outfit for Manhattan Spring stroll, but I'm ever so glad she did. Some very nice peeks at Jessica's glorious peaks pretty much bare to the good parts. Oh, happy days.
Jessica Alba has been dressing so conservative of late I wasn't sure we'd ever see anything like this ever again. And, yes, I cried a little thinking those dark thoughts. But I turned recently to positive thoughts only. The power of positive thinking is tremendous. Though not nearly as epic as Jessica's bare mommy potatoes. Mmm. Potatoes. Enjoy.

NEW signing Guiseppe Bellusci could make his debut for Leeds United at home to Brighton tonight.
The 24-year-old defender, who has arrived on a season-long loan from Serie B club Catania, did not feature in Leeds' squad for their 1-0 lunchtime home victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday but is expected to break into Dave Hockaday's squad to face the Seagulls.
Fellow new boy Billy Sharp scored the 88th-minute winner against Boro and United must be confident as Brighton have lost their opening two matches, including a 1-0 reverse against Birmingham at the weekend.
Hockaday, meanwhile, has admitted that he wants to sample the Elland Road roar frequently this season after hearing it against Middlesbrough when Sharp netted.
United's head coach said: "I want to sample a few more of those moments. If we work hard and if we stick together, I know the fans will have that.
"The fans should have gone home on Saturday and been very proud of the players in my opinion. In regards of effort, I couldn't have asked for any more."
Leeds line-up (probable): Silvestri, Pearce, Byram, Cooper, Warnock, Murphy, Austin, Ajose, Bellusci, Bianchi, Sharp.

The right suit gives you a respectable, professional look at formal events, such as meetings, weddings and job interviews. If you haven't worn your suit in a few months or even longer, you can avoid an embarrassing fashion faux pas by ensuring that it still fits you properly. If you're worried that a suit is too big for your body, you don't necessarily need to buy a new one. A tailor can fix size problems with many parts of the suit, including the sleeves, pant waist and legs.
Things You'll Need
- Long-sleeved dress shirt
- Full-length mirror
Put on a long-sleeved dress shirt, then put on your suit jacket and pants.
Stand in front of a full-length mirror. Drop your arms against your sides and rest your hands against your thighs.
Look at the shoulders of the suit. If you see any extra fabric bunching up or padding your shoulders, the suit is too big. Likewise, if you find a dent below the shoulder seam, it's too baggy for you. The fabric should fit snugly against the slope of your arm.
Check the length of the sleeves. When you hold your arms flat against your sides, you should see about 1/2 inch of shirt cuff. A large gap between the jacket sleeve and the shirt cuff means that the arms are too big.
Fasten the suit's button. If the suit has two buttons, fasten the top one. If it has three buttons, fasten the top two. If the top or middle button falls below your navel, the suit is too big.
Put your fingers between the shirt collar and the jacket collar. The suit is too big if you feel a large gap between the two collars. For a proper fit, the suit collar should show about half of the shirt collar.
Look at the sides of the suit. If they go straight down, the suit doesn't fit properly. The sides should slightly taper at the waist.
Turn around and look at the back of the suit jacket. The bottom of the jacket should cover your rear end. If it drops below that, it's too long.
Check the waist of your pants. If the pants are too loose and you need a belt to hold them up, they're too big. The pant legs should not bulge or look baggy.

BERNE (Nov. 26)
The Jewish Community Council of Warsaw, which has its own problems to solve, is now faced with the complicated question of providing relief for 30,000 Jews deported from the city of Siedlec where their homes were converted into hospitals for German soldiers wounded on the Soviet front.
Reports reaching here today state that the expelled Jews have been herded into fields under the open sky and are held there without being permitted to proceed to neighboring cities. Intervention on the part of the Warsaw Jewish Council resulted in 10,000 Jews being permitted to leave for the Warsaw ghetto, and in barracks being constructed on the fields to shelter the others. The problem of feeding the 20,000 Siedlec Jews in the barracks, however, remains unsolved since the Warsaw Jewish Council is hardly able to take care of the needy Jews in the Warsaw ghetto and has no funds to secure food for the 20,000 Jews of Siedlec who remain in the fields outside of Warsaw.


text: UK ATC provider NATS said last week that the first practical trial of the TopFlight air traffic management system (ATM) successfully delivered the expected level of flight efficiencies. TopFlight is a key element in Europe's Sesar next-generation ATM system, similar to the U.S. NextGen program. A NATS official reported at the Air Traffic Management.net website that gate-to-gate travel times measured for 100 British Airways flights across the North Atlantic using the new system saved up to half a ton of fuel per flight. With TopFlight, crews received their oceanic profiles before departure, used continuous climb and descent profiles and direct routings, more flexible oceanic clearances where possible, including using military airspace. In all cases engine taxi times were kept to a minimum. Phase two of TopFlight begins this month with a trial aimed at reducing airborne holding time at London Heathrow. During the three-month test, arriving aircraft will be slowed en route to London by controllers in France, the Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.

A Correction from Down Under
Recently, I received an email from a former professional ballplayer named Barry Stace who wished to set the record straight about a piece that I had written back in 2009, extolling the wonders of Baseball-Reference's addition of minor league statistics. Stace, who hails from Australia, was one of several players whom a man using the name of Richard Perone helped obtain a professional contract back in the early 1970s, often — but apparently not always — under false pretenses, as part of a larger and more intricate yarn:
In his email, a rather upset Mr. Stace wrote, "Richard Perone signed me to attend spring training in 1973. I wish to note that at no time was I 38 years of age posing as a 21 year old. I was in fact 21 years of age and he at no stage helped me assume a younger identity. My year of birth is in fact 1951 and if the claims are to be believed I should be well and truly retired at the grand age of 80+ rather than managing a flooring company in Perth Western Australia. I would ask that this false accusation is removed immediately."
Retracing my steps to see how I arrived at my erroneous characterization, I came up with the following:
• The San Francisco Examiner clipping from 1983 referred to Pohle as having "Passed off a real Australian, he claims, as a 21-year-old reliever, although, Pohle said, he was actually 38. The Kansas City Royals signed him to a minor league contract."
• The Portland Press-Herald clipping from 2002 referred to Pohle arranging a tryout for "Barry Stance" [sic]) with the Royals.
Based upon that, it's not hard to see how I made the leap to connect those sources with Stace's B-Ref page identifying him as an Australian-born pitcher in the Royals system in accordance with the basic timeline of Pohle's account. My error was based upon a yellowed 26-year-old newspaper clipping detailing the apparently unverified exploits of a man who was not given to telling the truth 100 percent of the time. My deepest apologies to Mr. Stace, as no harm was intended; hopefully, i have set the record straight on that score.
Alas, I was also incorrect about Stace' status as the first Australian to play baseball in the US, a distinction that belongs to Joe Quinn, who played in four different leagues (the Union Association and the Players League as well as the AL and NL) from 1884-1901. I did unearth a 1973 newspaper clipping from the Ocala Star-Banner that reported, "Stace believes he is the first Australian ever to sign with an American League team," a claim I haven't been able to verify.
As for Pohle/Perone, who strove to see his story realized on the silver screen, he got his wish when a director named Steve Sturla put together a short film that debuted at the LA Short Film Festival in 2010. The film included a cameo — and an inspirational message — from the man himself. It's up on YouTube, and I present it here.

This Anzac Day another generation of ordinary Australians stands ready to take up the responsibility that comes with carrying the legacy.
Visiting the war memorial in Canberra should be an emotional experience and never feel comfortable or affirming. The same is true of Anzac Day. If it is, it's being done wrong.

— [Editor's note: Each week, Rosenthal and I will go head to head, picking the winner of each game. The guy who does worse each week gets to be the one to copy and paste together the text the next week. Despite trouncing Rosenthal last year when we divided the games each week, I somehow got stuck packaging up the first set of picks while he drank tequila with Alex Marvez on Bourbon Street. Let's hope they kept their shirts on.]
Florio's take: Sure, the Rams won only one game last year. Yeah, they'll be lucky to win more than four in 2010. OK, the Rams haven't beaten the team that used to play in St. Louis in St. Louis since 2004. But it's a new era for the Rams, with the passing game possibly waking up while the running game still has Steven Jackson, and coach Steve Spagnuolo using his defensive background to tinker with the other side of the ball. The Cardinals are moving the wrong way, with key player departures, a still-shaky running game, and real concerns at quarterback.
Florio's pick: Rams 17, Cardinals 10.
Rosenthal's take: This is oddly a big game for Arizona. To scrape out nine wins, they can't split with the Rams. It's also a big game for the Rams. If they can't win at home in their crappy division, they aren't going to win and Rams fan disinterest will reach new lows, Sam Bradford or not. I have a lot more faith in Ken Whisenhunt, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Adrian Wilson, Darnell Dockett, and Larry Fitzgerald than most. This is still a solid Cardinals team. (Notice how I left out Derek Anderson.)
Rosenthal's pick: Cardinals 27, Rams 20.
Florio's take: Eagles coach Andy Reid surely would have preferred to launch the post-Donovan McNabb era with a game against a slightly less formidable opponent. In last year's home opener, Kevin Kolb got his first career start against a potent Saints team that came to Philly and scored nearly "fitty". Though the Eagles ultimately could turn it around and get to the playoffs like they did last year, it could be another long day for Reid and company against one of the best teams in the conference.
Florio's pick: Packers 38, Eagles 21.
Rosenthal's take: I just picked the Packers to win the Super Bowl, yet I'm not remotely confident they will win this game. Eagles should remain a very tough out at home, and Andy Reid hasn't suddenly lost his playcalling ability because of a slow preseason. My big question: Philly's pass rush. Will Brandon Graham and a rebuilt linebacker group make a difference? Since "stay away" isn't an option to pick here, I'll say no.
Rosenthal's pick: Packers 34, Eagles 31.
Florio's take: New Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will find out very quickly that the talent gap isn't nearly as big as it was when he was coaching one of the best teams at the college level -- and that he's now on the wrong side of it. If the 49ers are going to end up being one of the worst teams to ever earn a playoff bye, they need to take care of business in the worst division in the conference.
Florio's pick: 49ers 20, Seahawks 13.
Rosenthal's take: Logic says the beleaguered Seahawks offensive line can't block anyone, much less a strong 49ers defense. Logic also says Seahawks reclamation project Mike Williams should have turned into a pumpkin a a month ago. But logic doesn't apply here. The Seahawks may not be any good this year, but they have made positive steps in the leadership of their franchise. Pete Carroll can "win forever" if he only plays home openers against so-so opponents.
Rosenthal's pick: Seahawks 20, 49ers 17.
Florio's take: The Cowboys went 2-0 last year against the Redskins and 3-0 against the team for which their new quarterback played. Though Dallas was sluggish in the preseason, they'll get it together in time to rudely welcome a hobbled Donovan McNabb to D.C.
Florio's pick: Cowboys 30, Redskins 17.
Rosenthal's take: The Cowboys struggled in the preseason, but they are everything the Redskins aren't on offense; explosive, experienced in their system, and battle tested. It's strange to think of the Cowboys as the smart, veteran team. But they fit the bill here, even if they aren't yet at their best.
Rosenthal's pick: Cowboys 20, Redskins 16.
Florio's take: The Rex Ryan aim-high-and-talk-big experiment gets started Monday night against a Ravens team that finally has a better offense than defense. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh gets the first crack at shutting up a team that has done plenty of boasting despite winning nothing. Unless Darrelle Revis can cover three guys at once, this one is not going to end well for the home team.
Florio's pick: Ravens 24, Jets 16.
Rosenthal's take: Thank you to the Monday Night Football scheduling gods for putting this slobberknocker in Week One. This is going to be sweet and painful. It will be fascinating to see if Mark Sanchez's confidence problems crop up. In theory, this should be a tasty matchup against a broken-down Ravens secondary. But Baltimore knows how to cover up weaknesses and Joe Flacco is visiting Revis Island at the right time.
Rosenthal's pick: Ravens 16, Jets 14.
Florio's take: Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel are reunited for the first time since winning three Super Bowls in four years for a Chiefs team that has a long way to go in order to be competitive -- but that quietly is moving in the right direction. The Chargers have typically started slowly under Norv Turner, barely beating the Raiders in the second game of last year's Week One Monday night doubleheader. The fumes of some offseason contract issues (two of which persist) could make it even harder for San Diego to get the pull the lawnmower cord on the 2010 season. Though they'll likely eventually win the division, I think they'll have to dig out of an 0-1 hole to do it.
Florio's pick: Chiefs 17, Chargers 14.
Rosenthal's take: The Chiefs should be a lot more fun to watch this year, and we expect Charlie Weis to help uncork some big plays in Week One with Jamaal Charles and rookie Dexter McCluster. The Chargers defense, meanwhile, needs to figure out what it can do well. For now, the best thing it can do is let Philip Rivers get the ball back with enough time to score a winning touchdown.
Rosenthal's pick: Chargers 35, Chiefs 34.

Yorkshire are on course for their fifth LV= County Championship win of the season over Middlesex at Scarborough heading into tomorrow's final day with a lead of 421 as they chase top spot in Division One.
An unbeaten 126 for Andrew Gale off 180 balls with 13 fours was added to by fifties for Alex Lees, Kane Williamson and Jack Leaning as the hosts advanced their second innings from 29-1 overnight to 400-5 from 109 overs.
Alex Lees posted 67 and Kane Williamson 62, with the pair sharing 132 inside 40 overs for the second wicket through the morning session and into the first over of the afternoon before the latter fell.
Leaning and Gale then shared 182 inside 45 overs for the fifth wicket before Leaning was stumped for 76 off 143 balls, including three fours and as many sixes.
The Lees and Williamson alliance took advantage of a Middlesex attack who bowled a bit too short for the second time in the match. They added 117 runs in 31 overs before the lunch break.
Lees, who lofted Ollie Rayner's off-spin for six, brought up his fifty off 111 balls before Williamson brought up his off 83.
The New Zealander, however, fell two balls into the afternoon when he was superbly caught one-handed high at first slip by Rayner off Tim Murtagh, who then had Lees smartly caught at second slip low down by Dawid Malan four overs later, leaving the score at 155-3 in the 49th.
Gale and Jonny Bairstow shared 46 for the fourth wicket, including 32 for the latter before he top-edged a pull at Toby Roland-Jones to long-leg with the score on 201 in the 63rd over.
Gale and Leaning saw Yorkshire through to tea to make it 101 runs in 33 overs in the session as the score advanced to 247-4 from 77.
The skipper took a blow on the left thumb from a nasty Steven Finn delivery just after tea, shortly before reaching a 99-ball fifty with three fours.
When Yorkshire's lead went to 302 at 281-4, there were 24 overs left in the day.
Leaning reached his 130-ball half-century, also with three fours, as Yorkshire took their lead beyond 350 with less than ten overs left.
Just before reaching his hundred, Gale was struck another painful blow on the left elbow by Finn, but it could not stop him celebrating three figures off 162 balls with ten fours, his second of the season.
Both players opened their shoulders in the last five or six overs of the day, with Leaning hitting straight sixes off Finn, Rayner and Malan to take the Yorkshire lead beyond 400.
All his sixes came in the space of four balls, but he was stumped off Malan's bowling to leave the score at 383-5 in the 107th. Seventy five runs came in the last ten overs of the day.
Kane Williamson, Alex Lees and Jonny Bairstow have all fallen in the afternoon for 62, 67 and 32, although Yorkshire's second innings has advanced to 247-4 from 77 overs, which amounts to a lead of 268
Williamson and Lees were both caught in the slips off Tim Murtagh before Bairstow top-edged a pull at Toby Roland-Jones to long-leg.
Andrew Gale and Jack Leaning will resume this evening on 42 and 19 respectively.
Half-centurions Alex Lees and Kane Williamson have helped Yorkshire take their LV= County Championship match against Middlesex at Scarborough by the scruff of the neck during the third morning.
The second-wicket pair have taken the score from 29-1 overnight and 14-1 when they came together last night to 146-1 from 44 overs at lunch, which amounts to an overall lead of 167.
Lees, 66 not out, and Williamson, 62 not out, reached their fifties off 111 and 83 balls respectively.

Hi, it's Ginny Brown-Waite. Just want to say this Web site stinks
U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite said today that she called a hotline for Recovery.org, the Web site that tracks stimulus spending, and lodged a complaint against the site itself.
"I'm startled by the amount of misinformation on the website and how much money is being wasted at the taxpayer's expense," she said in her second news release on the subject in as many days. Republicans have jabbed at reports that nonexistent congressional districts have been listed on the site as putting stimulus money toward jobs.
The Obama administration, facing sliding public support for the stimulus, says no money has been misappropriated and that recipients merely inserted the wrong district. But the White House isn't helping things. Brown-Waite, R-Brooksville, cited Vice President Joe Biden's appearance on The Daily Show:
STEWART: ... Because I know there's this stimulus.gov. You're supposed to follow it. And people got on it and they made up districts. There's one district that says "We made 30,000 jobs" and it's like, "You don't exist." "Oh, right." How do you keep track? Can you keep track?
BIDEN: You can't keep track.
Says Brown-Waite, "The American taxpayers expect you to keep track, Mr. Biden."

Columbia Sportswear Company (NASDAQ:COLM), a leading innovator in the active outdoor apparel and footwear industries, today announced net sales of $280.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a 3 percent decrease compared with net sales of $290.4 million for the same period in 2012, including a 1 percentage point negative effect from changes in currency exchange rates. Second quarter net loss improved 10 percent to $7.1 million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $7.9 million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. Tim Boyle, Columbia's president and chief executive officer, commented, "During the second quarter, we successfully launched our Omni-Freeze® Zero and Cool.Q® Zero active cooling technology. Sell-through of our spring season products improved as our marketing programs drove consumer awareness and warm weather arrived in key markets. Operationally, we improved our inventory flow and continued to demonstrate focused expense management." Boyle continued, "We also recently announced three important additions to our senior leadership team, bringing on seasoned veterans to refine and expand our global direct-to-consumer business, reenergize our North American wholesale business, and to lead our new China joint venture expected to commence in January, 2014. Each of these areas is of strategic importance in our efforts to achieve renewed sales growth from our portfolio of brands and improve profitability over the long term." Second Quarter Results (All comparisons are between second quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012, unless otherwise noted.) The second quarter is the company's smallest revenue quarter, historically accounting for approximately 15 percent of annual net sales. As a result, regional, category and brand net sales results often produce large percentage variances in relation to the prior year's comparable period due to the small base of comparison and shifts in the timing of shipments.

The What...For!
LIMITED EDITION – VINYL-ONLY RELEASE!! TO GUARANTEE DELIVERY – ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY FEBRUARY 1. AFTER FERUARY 1, THIS BECOMES A "SPECIAL ORDER TITLE" WITH NO GURANTEE OF AVAILABILITY/IMMEDIATE DELIVERY. 2015 marked the 30th anniversary of the most important German beat band ever since the legendary Boots! To celebrate 30 years of wild, ravin' beat mayhem Screaming Apple has released "Compiled!", a 6-track 45rpm 10" compilation. This brings together 5 tracks in part previously available on, amongst others, now hard-to-find British and Australian compilations from 1989 - 2010, with the addition of a previously unreleased recording of "I Ain't Got You" from 1989. Only "Bad News Travels Fast", from "Tribute To The Fuzztones Vol. 2" has previously been available on CD. The tracks have been remastered by Crypt Records/"Back From the Grave" mastermind Tim Warren sounding even more authentic and garagey than ever. "It was in the summer of 1986 during The Thanes' maiden voyage to Germany (still billed as The Green Telescope), that I was first alerted to the sounds of The What...For! They stood out a mile even then as being a group who were incredibly passionate about the best of the global mid-60's scene; specifically the mod-beat noises and colourful image as cultivated during the golden age by groups such as The Who,The Pretty Things, The Downliners Sect and, of course, Berlin's own finest exponents of long-hair beat-punk R&B sounds, The Boots! Having shared stages with The What...For! on a number of occasions now, from our initial encounter at Berlin's Quartier Latin club in August '86 right up to our more recent bill-share just a few short years ago at the city's Starlite Ballroom as part of The Berlin Beat Explosion, I've witnessed how they have gone from wildly enthusiastic mod-garage teens playing great covers of 'Blues Theme' and 'Chicago' to a group who are absolute masters of their chosen craft. I still remember bassist Stephan Schulz – 'the Deutscher Dave Davies' as I always saw him - his face, sideburns and checked trews were a perfect distillation of modern-day Kinkdom - sending me a cassette tape of what was to be the group's debut LP and being truly impressed by their intuitive beat groove and sterling rhythm work on original songs such as 'I Want It All' and 'Her'. Another wholly standout moment in the long-spanning career of the group that lives on in my mind was when I witnessed them live in 1988 at the infamous KOB venue on Potsdammerstr. Having walked in to an already sold-out, heaving crowd the group belted out a particularly wild cover of The Birds' early freakbeat anthem 'How Can It Be'. The atmosphere was thoroughly electric, led by Urs Zelle's commanding vocals and Pete (Moon) Johannsen's whirling actions around the drum-kit. Given the calibre of talent and extremely good taste in song choice - who wouldn't be swayed by a terrific reading of The Rainbows' mad-sounding 'Rotekarierte Petersilie' - and their always on-the-spot conviction throughout each performance, I'm somewhat taken aback that this far down the line, the group have not yet achieved breakthrough status, either in their home country or on the international stage, yet I ain't giving up on them and this could still happen; it's never too late and perhaps this will be the record that will do it for them; that will wake people up from their slumber, to be a record that will resonate deep inside the listener long after the mechanism has stopped. The What...For! Isn't this what we've all beenwaiting for?" – Lenny Helsing A must-have for every neo-beat and garage enthusiast. GREAT!!

Dad Has Dementia
Week 26: Taking Stock
Last updated: Jul 09, 2010
This is week 26 of our odyssey in home care for my father. For six months, we (my husband, Lee, and I) have taken care of all of Dad's needs. I want to take a moment to reflect on how things are going.
In an early post, I discussed the various types of 'costs' associated with caring for a loved one in the home. I grouped these costs into three categories: soft costs, hard costs, and human costs. Let's see how we're doing in these areas, six months in.
Soft costs: The incidental costs of caring for Dad at home have been greater than we anticipated. We burn more gasoline, for example. Also, much of our furniture has been damaged. I hate to sound shallow, but I'm upset that one of my upholstered Thomasville chairs is effectively ruined from Dad's peeing on it, accidentally, and then spilling chocolate syrup on it, as well. As for why Dad was sitting in the chair to begin with, it's simple: Of all the furniture we have, Dad found that particular chair to be the most comfortable "" and who's going to deny Dad a comfortable chair in his golden years? At any rate, I've discovered that the physical damage to our surroundings has far exceeded what I expected. I was naïve and unrealistic not to understand that a frail grown-up with dementia couldn't help but wreak havoc on furnishings.
Hard costs: As expected, these costs have accumulated over time, but only the cost of dining out has really exceeded our expectations. Dad likes to eat out frequently, and Lee and I try to pick up the tab about half the time, even though we wouldn't normally eat out as often. On the plus side, we haven't really seen any increase in our utility bills, except perhaps the water bill, which is higher because Dad loves to garden.
Human costs: I feel like such a weenie. I thought caregiving was hard at the beginning of this journey "" when Dad could still ambulate well, converse, and take his own meds. Now that we're getting down to the nitty-gritty, with Dad increasingly unable to ambulate or take care of his own activities of daily living (ADLs), I'm finding myself more stressed than ever. And I know Lee feels the same way, even if he hides his feelings behind that placid, masculine facade. To my dismay, my own feelings frequently spill over in waterfalls of tears, and the sheer anxiety of feeling unprepared and incompetent to handle what the next day might bring really takes its toll on me.
How long will this caregiving odyssey go on? Will it last another six months? Six years? Frankly, my stress level at the moment tells me I can't last another six months. Caregiving is so much more emotionally and physically exhausting than I ever imagined.

DCT Build Part VIII - Putting it back togetherAs of right now, the transmission is completed and the cooling system is in the process of being completed. Where we left off was the car being taken to SSP for the build of the cooling system. To make this all make sense we will not skip ahead, instead showing you each step. Here SSP is getting ready to put it together with the new clutch discs. They laid out all the parts and used 3d scanning equipment to record them to aid in the production of the parts. Everything was laid out to make sure the parts were clean and accounted for. Additionally, they were working on prototype viton seals for the transmission. The next update will have details on the cooling system.
This article was originally published in forum thread: M3 DCT Build Journal - World's First BMW DCT Build started by Sticky View original post3052 Comments
Here is a shipping number for the trans oil cooler fans which have been shipped to Gintani by SSP: http://www.stamps.com/shipstatus/sub...00940660776673
Once they get the fans, they will relocate the trans cooler and run the lines and such all themselves. Once that is done we should see the motor in and the SC installed and tuning taking place. It is not out of line to think this will be done next month.

Wish i could rep that lol
Step 1) Dial SSP's phone number
Step 2) Ask for a $#@!ing tracking number for the shipment so you don't have to wait until the end of the business day Monday to find out that the $#@! really did'nt ship out. (anyone want to take bets on this)
Squeeky wheel my friend, squeeky wheel...You're too passive, you're getting owned by these tuners. Let them know you mean business and they will make $#@! happen, if $#@! doesnt happen smear their $#@!ing names like soft butter on toast.

Northern Trust Pushes Higher
Northern Trust (NTRS) shares are surging after it reported better-than-expecting third-quarter results before the bell. The stock was up nearly 4% mid-morning, and it is challenging its September peak. This impressive move extends a solid rebound that began Wednesday, after shares bottomed just below $53. With this morning's ramp, NTRS shares are now up more than 7% from the October lows and may be leaving behind an important bottom.

moe. cancel July 29 concert at Jannus Live
Two bands that really need to hook up: moe. and fun. It would really be great to see a supergroup called "moefun.." Maybe they could invite Keb' Mo' to join and they could call themselves "Keb'moe'fun.."
Okay, we'll admit it: This is not our best material. We're just trying to lighten the mood, because we just found out moe. has canceled their July 29 concert at Jannus Live. Says the venue: "We regret to inform you that MOE has been cancelled. You can pick up your refund from where you purchased your tickets. Thank you."
No further explanation has been given at this point. Jam band fans will just have to make do with Toubab Krewe on July 20 at Jannus instead.

White Haven, PA, United States, 2011/12/20 - GUTSY women learn that self-care is NOT selfish-care; being self-aware is a must; and being pattern-aware is the NEWEST and EDGIEST way to become conflict competent in relationships both at work and at home - CEOptions.com.
There is a huge demand for womens leadership programs that go beyond motivational seminars to the heart of how women can be change agents in todays competitive work setting.
The Gutsy Women Weekend Retreat offers answers to start the New Year with new perspectives. It will roll out in 8 U.S. cities in 2012, including San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Manhattan hosted by women leaders and facilitated by Sylvia Lafair PhD, President of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc).
The primary focus of the program encourages women in business to TARGET and TRANSFORM ingrained workplace behavior patterns to increase success.
Stress, time constraints, and the constant struggle for work-life balance often leave women overwhelmed and frustrated. Recognizing these challenges for female managers, entrepreneurs, and solopreneurs, Dr. Lafair began to study the different ways women leaders respond and communicate.
You should invest in this program because it will give you new insights said Jennifer Gottschling, from Boston. I did and it helped me observe my pattern of being a pleaser, one that I was quickly able to transform to be a truth-teller. When I returned to the office, there was a major difference in how I put some boundaries around my workload and surprisingly found everyone on my team began to work together differently. It was more than I ever thought possible.
GUTSY women learn that self-care is NOT selfish-care; being self-aware is a must; and being pattern-aware is the NEWEST and EDGIEST way to become conflict competent in relationships both at work and at home.
Sylvia Lafair PhD, award winning author, business leadership expert, and executive coach created this inspiring program based on her newest book GUTSY: How Women Leaders Make Change to be released January, 2012. The Friday evening through Sunday noon retreat has now been requested around the country. The next event will be held at The Country Place Retreat and Conference Center, in Pennsylvania, February 3 - 5, 2012.
I believe this is a major breakthrough era for women leaders and I am dedicating most of my time to offer the powerful tools and tips I have gathered together for all working women. With her usual GUTSY GUSTO she added,The knowledge is here to observe, understand, and transform behaviors that till now have kept us locked in wasteful conflict and various versions of the gotcha game. The time for all women to be heard more effectively is NOW.
Attendees at the highly successful event describe the week-end as amazing, empowering, and energizing. Each attendee leaves with a GUTSY Action Plan for making a difference in their own lives and paying it forward to others.
GUTSY hits the spot. Its what every business woman, actually every woman needs now. In one weekend I was able to rethink, reclaim, and reinvent my priorities for work and home. In just ONE weekend! Get your gear together and get to GUTSY. You will thank Sylvia and her team forever and ever. Joanne LaMarca, TV Producer, New York.
Registration to participate are now being accepted, please contact Rebecca to register.
The next Gutsy Women Weekend Retreat is February 3-5, 2012 in Pennsylvania. For a brochure and registration materials please call or email.

[UPDATE: With Irvine Protest] Occupy Santa Ana March Sees Large Turnout; Protest In Front of John Wayne Airport Tonight
Brandon Ferguson
Brandon Ferguson
Brandon Ferguson
Original PostNovember 17, 2011 2:56 P.M.: The resounding question being asked since New York's Zuccotti Park was cleared of Occupiers Tuesday has been where does the movement go from that point. Santa Ana Occupy responded today with a long march north from the county Civic Center to the 5 Freeway. There, a group of more than 50 protesters, which included members of the Service Employees Industrial Union Local 1877, carried signs demanding justice for janitors while shouting common Occupy chants and the United Farm Workers-coined slogan, "Si Se Puede."
The march crossed the overpass above the 5 Freeway, where the group split in half and lined sidewalks on both sides of Main Street north of the Discovery Science Center. Occupiers said they hoped to bring attention to the country's crumbling infrastructure, which could potentially be a source of jobs if the government decided to invest in repairs.
This afternoon will see more protests in Irvine, where Occupiers, along with moveon.org, will march to the connector bridge near John Wayne Airport and MacArthur Boulevard.
Updates to come...stay tuned!

Syria's foreign minister said Tuesday that Syria was ready to sign an international agreement banning chemical weapons and pledged to open its storage sites and provide full disclosure immediately, RT.com reports.
"We fully support Russia's initiative concerning chemical weapons in Syria, and we are ready to cooperate. As a part of the plan, we intend to join the Chemical Weapons Convention," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said in an interview with Lebanon-based Al-Maydeen TV, RT.com reports.
He said Syrian was "ready to fulfill our obligations" under the terms of the treaty, including providing information about Syria's chemical weapons.
"We will open our storage sites, and cease production. We are ready to open these facilities to Russia, other countries and the United Nations," Muallem said.
He added: "We intend to give up chemical weapons altogether."
The report on the interview is also carried by RIA Novosti.
The report comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin told the same Russian news agency that an agreement in which Syria would turn over its chemical weapons to international control would only work if the United States and its allies renounce the use of force against Damascus, RT.com reports.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem has been in Moscow for talks with Russian officials about the chemical weapons crisis.
Syria is one of only five countries -- including North Korea, Angola, Egypt and South Sudan -- that has not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention that was drawn up in 1993.
The arms control agreement bans the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and their precursors.
Muallem's pledge to sign the agreement and opens Syria's storage sites comes amid a flurry of diplomatic moves around a Russian proposal that Syria place its chemical arms under international control.
Syria has agreed to the proposal and France has proposed a related resolution for the United Nations.
Putin acknowledged that he had discussed such a possibility with President Obama on the sidelines of the G-20 summit last week in St. Petersburg.
It was agreed, Putin said, "to instruct Secretary of State [John Kerry] and Foreign Minister [Sergey Lavrov] to get in touch" and "try to move this idea forward."
Putin fleshed out the proposal Tuesday, saying it would only work if Washington called off its strike against Damascus.
"Certainly, this is all reasonable, it will function and will work out, only if the US and those who support it on this issue pledge to renounce the use of force, because it is difficult to make any country – Syria or any other country in the world – to unilaterally disarm if there is military action against it under consideration," Putin said on Tuesday.
Obama has threatened to use U.S. military action against Syria in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,400 people in a Damascus suburb. Syria has denied the charge.
Obama, who will address the nation Tuesday night, spoke Tuesday with the leaders of France and the United Kingdom, and agreed to explore whether the Russian proposal, senior White House officials said.Syria,
He was also discussing the issues on Capitol Hill.
The Syrian government kicked off a flurry of diplomatic activity Tuesday over the Syrian crisis by saying it accepted the Russian proposal, which was put forth on Monday.
The statement by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in Moscow was among a series of diplomatic moves that suggested a possible way to avoid a threatened U.S. attack on Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
WATCH LIVE: House, Senate continue discussions on Syria
In other developments:
•France said it would put a resolution before the U.N. Security Council appealing to Syria to make public details of its chemical weapons program.
•The Arab League said it backs the Russian proposal calling on Syria to puts it chemical weapons under international control.
•Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel expressed cautious support for the proposal, but said it must not be used as a diplomatic stalling tactic.
MORE: Will Congress support a military strike on Syria?
The diplomatic maneuvering, which began Monday with public comments by Kerry followed by the Russian proposal, gathered pace overnight, with Syria's foreign minister saying Tuesday that his government would accept the Russian outline for a diplomatic solution.
"Yesterday [Monday] we held a round of very fruitful negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and he put forward an initiative regarding chemical weapons. Already in the evening we accepted Russia's initiative," Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said after meeting with the speaker of the Russian parliament.
Muallem said Damascus accepted the Russian initiative to "derail the U.S. aggression."
The report was initially carried by the Russian news agency Interfax.
Meanwhile, Lavrov said that Russia is now working with Syria to prepare a detailed plan of action, which will be presented shortly.
He said Moscow will then be ready to finalize the plan together with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
The announcement by France for a resolution at the U.N. Security Council was made in Paris by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
It was not immediately clear whether the terms of an agreement accepted by Syria would track with the French proposal, but it was a sign of further diplomatic progress on the issue.
Fabius said the terms of the resolution will call for an "extremely serious" response were Syria to violate the conditions set by the resolution. He said the process — under Chapter 7 of the U.N. charter — will start later Tuesday.
France is a permanent member of the Security Council. The other permanent members are the United States, United Kingdom, China and Russia. Permanent members have the power to veto resolutions.

STAFF from St Clere's School delivered 22 boxes of food to Thurrock Foodbank.
The food, totalling 176.3kg, was donated by St Clere's students and staff and will be used to support families across Thurrock who are in crisis or who need help.
The collections were organised by St Clere's exams officer, Kerry Enever.
She felt compelled to take action after watching the Sports Relief TV documentary "Famous, Rich and Hungry", which explored the issue of food poverty in the UK.
With the support of headteacher Ashleigh Hughes, Mrs Enever raised the issue with staff and students.
They generously responded by donating a huge variety of nonperishable food items to the collection.
Mrs Hughes said: "I am proud to see how our students and staff have made such a tremendous effort for this community appeal."

The selection effect of two-way trade in the Melitz model: an alternative approach
This paper studies the influential Melitz model of trade with heterogeneous firms using an alternative, intuitive approach. Contrary to what is often argued, it is an increase in product market competition that drives the bad firms out: with two-way trade, entry by foreign firms is not compensated by a "sufficient" reduction in the mass of surviving firms. To illustrate this, we decompose the total effect of trade in two partial effects: a domestic-profit-reducing effect due to foreign market penetration by the most productive firms; an average-profit-reducing effect due to the payment of the fixed export costs. We also provide the new prediction that trade generally leads to (weakly) less entry in the industry. This clarifies key interpretation issues in a prolific literature.

Hi guys,
I've installed SS version 3 and it's all working. I then installed the mobile module and userforms module and still working.
I then try and install the widget module and blog module, but when I do a dev/build I get the following error:
Fatal error: Access level to WidgetArea::$has_many must be public (as in class DataObject) in /home/xxx/public_html/widgets/code/model/WidgetArea.php on line 7
Does anyone know why this occurs and how to fix it?


text: Hi, First, I just want to thank the developers/contributers of Webware for their excellent work. I am pretty new to web application development having only done small applications in the past. After looking at several other platforms in Java and Python I have chosen Webware for (what is to me) a fairly large project. I like Webware because it is lightweight yet well designed so easy to understand, use, and extend. I am also happy to see that there are others are currently active in its ongoing development. Below is a description of a problem with running the Component 0.2 examples and the fix I found: - I checked out Component 0.2 from http://webwareforpython.org/downloads/Component/Component-0.2.tar.gz and experimented with it by creating a symbolic link to its Example subdirectory in a new Webkit (0.91) instance and then adding Contexts['Examples'] = 'Examples' in Application.config. - I then restarted the Webware site and visited it using http://<local webware uri>/Examples/ ->This showed the default Webware examples page but nothing else. - When I looked at Main.py in ./Examples I saw the line from WebKit.Examples.ExamplePage. I added the following line under the Main class definition just so I could play with the examples: def respond(self, trans): trans.application().forward(trans, '/Login' + trans.request().extraURLPath() ) - This led to the following error when I refreshed http://<local webware uri>/Examples/ : .... .... File "/home/codehop-dev/Downloads/LoginKit-0.1/LoginKit/Examples/ExamplePage.py", line 19, in title [edit] <http://marigold.informatics.washington.edu:7000/Admin/EditFile?filename=/home/codehop-dev/Downloads/LoginKit-0.1/LoginKit/Examples/ExamplePage.py&line=19> return CPage.title(self) TypeError: unbound method title() must be called with CPage instance as first argument (got Login instance instead) - After fiddling awhile I noticed that the ExamplePage class in ./Example did not inherit from CPage so I added it: class ExamplePage(CPage, WebKitExamplePage): - This fixed the problem and all the pages in Example worked fine. Hope it helps, Richard Boyce

BIF10: Why the heart of innovation is personal.
Innovation is personal.
It is, by nature and nurture, an inevitable human enterprise that begins with a terrible itch to scratch. That itch may begin as simply as a mere annoyance or as profound as confronting cancer.
All of this was the heart of the BIF10 (Business Innovation Factory) annual summit.
After 10 years and three hundred and twenty innovator/storytellers, BIF continues to amaze, enthrall, and inspire the audience of 300 who make the pilgrimage to Providence, Rhode Island each year.
Let's begin with the amaze and enthrall.
One of the innovators is Camille Beatty. She is 14-years-old and just started her first week in high school.
The amazing part?
She just started her own Robotics Company with her 12-year-old sister Genevieve. This summer, Camille and her sister were invited to the White House by President Obama to demonstrate their robots at the White House.
Her quest began with an itch -- an unquenchable desire to understand how things work and how to turn ideas into machines.
Another innovator is Dr. Rupal Patel – a speech scientist at Northeastern University. Her itch was to help give a voice to people without one. Patel is working on creating individualized synthetic voices that match a person's gender, age, and even emotions, rather than the one-size-fits-all computer generated voices that seem to dehumanize the articulated sounds of the person.
Then there's David Moinina Sengeh, a Ph.D., candidate at the MIT Media Lab, President and co-founder, Global Minimum Inc. Sengeh, a native of Sierra Leone grew up during that country's brutal, 11-year civil ware that has left 50,000 dead and 4,000 who had limbs crudely amputated as a form of political terror.
His itch was to understand how to mitigate the suffering and pain of prosthetic devices by combining medical imaging, 3-D printing, and individualized insights to create the next generation of prosthetics.
And there's Arlene Samen. Her itch was to help at-risk mothers and children.
She is the Founder, President and Executive Director of One Heart World-Wide. She was among the first nurse practitioners in the field of high-risk obstetrics. She was profoundly moved in 1997 by a chance encounter with the Dalai Lama who told her "she must go to Tibet and help women safely give birth there."
Samen moved from Utah to Nepal and started an organization that has helped save hundreds of lives and will continue to have an impact on the lives of thousands in Nepal and beyond.
Ultimately, these singular itches, desires, and challenges are elevated to innovative ideas that move from the personal to the collective. The collective can be a small as single supporter or a network of hundreds that rally to the potential.
Let's end with the inspire part.
All the innovators at BIF tell their unique story. But that story fills our minds and hearts with a renewed sense of purpose and drive. Some resonate more than others.
But ultimately, the singular becomes plural and we all share in the truly remarkable results.
Thank you BIF.

Governor Pat McCrory Creates New Resource Tool for Schools
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory is releasing his first 2-year budget today. One item guaranteed to get funding is The North Carolina Center for Safer Schools. He wants to provide $625,000 over the next two years to provide training and technical support to educators, law enforcement agencies, and parents.
Pamela Walker, spokesperson for the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, describes it as a "clearing house" of information that will empower school administrators as they develop safety procedures. "It is a resource, it will provide training, it will provide advice. We want to point them to the right direction as far as what across the country are proven practices that work, and give them that information so they can make those decisions for their school system individually." This initiative comes about three months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, when a lone gunman killed 20 children and 8 staff members in Newtown, Connecticut. In April, eight public forums will be held across the state. People are invited to share their ideas about safety procedures they believe will benefit schools in their areas. One will be held in the Triad in mid April. According to Walker, the schedule for the public forums is still being worked out. Also, she says this center will have a regional presence. "We will have staff located regionally across the state who will work closely with the school systems in their area. Hear what their needs are and give them touches to experts and other information." The North Carolina Center for Safer Schools will operate under the Division of Juvenile Justice.
