SEATTLE (AP) — Developers in Seattle have been leading the U.S. in building hundreds of tiny apartments — some about the size of a generous parking spot — to cater to solo young workers, retirees who prefer city living, students and others looking to downsize.
Now, some residents are complaining that micro-apartments crowd too many people together, aren't compatible with some neighborhoods, don't encourage people to put down roots, and circumvent a design review process meant to get public input.
They're pushing for a building moratorium and more regulation of such projects.
"They're maxing out what they can do under the land use code," said Patrick Tompkins, who lives in the Capitol Hill neighborhood where some projects have replaced single-family homes, sometimes without much warning.
The city code allowing such tiny units has been around for at least three decades, but micro-apartments have taken off in the last three years, said Bryan Stevens with Seattle's planning department.
"It's really coincided with the recession. Apparently there's pent-up demand," he said.
Since 2006, the city has permitted 48 micro-housing projects. If all are built, they would yield living quarters for about 2,300 people. The micro-apartments range from 150 to 200 square feet for single occupants, with rents running about $500 to $700 a month and often include utilities, furnishings and Internet.
Seattle code allows up to eight unrelated people to live in one dwelling unit, as long as they have their own individual living quarters and a shared kitchen. Projects meeting this threshold aren't required to undergo design review, which upsets opponents like Carl Winter.
Winter, who supports a moratorium, isn't opposed to the projects but thinks they can be built with more neighbor input. The city is providing an incentive for builders by not enforcing the normal regulations, he said.
Supporters, including Mayor Mike McGinn, however, say the micro-apartments provide transit-friendly, affordable options for people who don't need a lot of space and want access to urban amenities.
The mayor doesn't support a moratorium, said McGinn spokesman Aaron Pickus, but "we are taking a close look at the process for approval."
City Council members are also weighing possible changes. A public forum is planned in coming weeks.
In Seattle, about 41 percent of residents live alone, according to 2011 Census figures. That makes such units appealing for some tenants, like Kris King.
Though King was initially shocked by the size of the tiny apartment he rented in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood, it had everything he needed: It was walking distance to work, fit his budget and put him close to downtown for less. Other apartments in the area could easily top $1,000 a month.
"I don't make a ton of money. This was appealing because it was affordable and it gave me access to a downtown market," said King, 36, who works as a counselor at a downtown Seattle homeless service center and pays $750 for his unit, roughly 120 square feet, which includes utilities and Internet.
There's a demand for micro-housing because more people are living in single households, said John Infranca, research fellow at the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University Law School. He is co-writing a report on smaller housing units in cities across the country, including Seattle.
"People are getting married later, divorcing at a higher rate, delaying marriage for several reasons, or are older individuals outliving spouses," he said, adding that "on a square-foot basis, it's not affordable, but it's more affordable than other studio and one-bedroom apartments."
Jim Potter, a Seattle-area developer who has been involved in five projects and is building more, said tenants in his units tend to stay a year or longer, want new construction for less or are tired of living with roommates or commuting to work.
"We really don't have vacancies because this product is in big demand," he said. "We believe this market is very deep."
King's apartment comes with a small private bathroom, a microwave and a mini-refrigerator. There's just enough room for a twin bed, a neatly hung rack of clothes and shelves. He doesn't own a car, so parking hasn't been an issue.
He works long and odd hours, doesn't cook much and didn't own a lot of stuff so finds the situation ideal, at least for now.
"I like having my own space even though it's not much space," he said.

This Is The Last Flat Iron You Will Ever Buy!
This flat iron is amazing. I was a long-time Chi flat iron user until I started using this product last year. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! When you pick it up, you can feel the quality. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly through my hair without "pulling" and breaking my hair, and does a great job of not only straightening, but flipping and curling hair. I am now a loyal Solano user and would recommend this flat iron to anyone!

Super Smooth!
This straightener had such a smooth glide, it almost felt like it wasn't even touching my hair! Didn't catch at all, and it didn't take muscle to clamp it together and slide it down. Really great flat iron that made my hair look extra healthy and shiny. I used many a flat iron and this one by far had the smoothest feel to it. Definitely recommend!

Works Like A Charm!
I have super thick, coarse long hair and other straighteners don't put a dent in my kinks and waves. The Solano works really well and doesn't leave my hair feeling dry and straw-like - in fact, the first time I used it I couldn't stop touching my hair because it was so soft. Definitely recommend!

I don't like the public eggs hunts, so we have them in the yard using plastic eggs. If it is raining, we just move the hunt indoors.
When my girls were younger, their school had egg hunts as part of their Easter party. They would take 10 plastic eggs that I filled... I used small candies and usually made 3 "special"eggs which included homemade gift certificates for small toys they had been wanting.
Yes, we always had a hunt. Now I get to wait for Grandbabies to do it with! I love the idea of the bags to decorate!
We have a huge hunt every year. This year we filled 2300 eggs. We will have about 30 kids with their parents. We provide lunch and everyone brings a dish to pass. This is the 6th year that we will be doing it. It's for my son and all his friends. It's supposed to rain this year. I am hoping it holds off until after it.
Yes we do...this will be our 3rd year backyard hunt. I get a set of small plastic eggs and a set of the jumbo sized ones. We put candy in all the small eggs. For each child, we also hide a jumbo egg. The jumbo or bonus egg has extra candy and a dollar inside.

The smiling, sweet-faced boy in the photo looks like he could be about to head to the pool, maybe riding his bike, which is how Nizzel Anthony George, 5, had spent a lot of his summer so far after graduating from kindergarten, according to his grandmother. The incongruity of Nizzel's photo with the news of a homicide was only more pronounced Thursday when a flyer arrived topped with his photo and followed by news of his funeral.
The flyer also included news of a memorial planned for 3 p.m. Saturday at 4500 Bryant Av. N., near the spot where he was killed Tuesday morning in a shooting that remains unsolved. Nizzel was asleep on a couch at his grandmother's house when someone standing across the street fired several rounds into the house. The intentional shooting could have killed more: Nizzel's family said about 10 people were in the house at the time of the shooting, five of them children.
He was hit once in the back. He was pronounced dead at North Memorial Hospital about 30 minutes after the shooting.
His funeral has been scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Shiloh Temple International Ministries, 1201 W. Broadway. A memorial fund for his family has been established by MAD DADS. Donations accepted at any M & I Bank location, account #4808982714. Make donations payable to MAD DADS for the benefit of Nizzel Anthony George.

Microsemi Introduces New Ultra Low Voltage Schottky Diodes For Battery Charging and Power Supply Applications
Forward Voltage Drop Is Only 0.2 Volts at Rated Current
Minimizes Power Loss, Improves Battery Efficiency
Patented ® Package Cuts Size, Improves Thermal Capabilities
Irvine, Calif. — (BusinessWire) July 10, 2002 --Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and power management integrated circuits, has announced a new ultra low forward voltage Schottky diode in its patented Powermite® surface mount package for use in battery charging and power supply applications.
Designated the UPS115U™, the rectifier has been optimized to enhance its forward voltage drop to 0.2 volts at 100oC, significantly improving loss characteristics of the device compared with conventional Schottky diodes.
The UPS115U is an ideal solution for O-ring diode applications that include battery chargers for portable electronic devices, redundant/backup or "hot swappable" power sources, and fault protection circuits.
"This device represents a breakthrough for designers seeking a solution to increase battery efficiency or to minimize power loss in their applications" said Sven Nelson, Vice President and General Manager of Microsemi's Broomfield, Colorado operation.
"By choosing the Powermite-packaged version of this Schottky, designers now have a highly efficient, low loss rectifier in an ultra small, low profile, and low thermal resistance package, to enable design of smaller more energy-efficient products" he said.
Powermite surface mount packages are a third the size of comparably-rated products and provide superior low thermal resistance from their patented wrap-around metal base. The UPS115U Schottky is less than 1mm high.
For designs where size and thermal specifications are less important, this Microsemi die also is available in a standard SMB package, designated the LSM115J™ in this version. Both parts are available for immediate sampling and delivery. Prices for the UPS115U start at $.284 in 1000-piece quantities and at $.259 for the LSM115J in like quantities.
Complete technical information is available on the Microsemi web site,
. Samples can be ordered through this site, or from Microsemi sales representatives and franchised distributors.
NOTE: A digital photograph for this press release can be down-loaded from the Microsemi web site, located within the News section found on the home page.

Looking for a good TV for your lounge and also need a powerful new computer, but don't have the room for both? Step this way, friend, and check out the Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one.
The A720 offers an enormous 27-inch, Full HD screen that's just begging to show off your hi-def movies with the Blu-ray drive. Inside my review model was the latest generation Intel Core i7 processor and a hearty 8GB of RAM.
Better yet, it offers sleek, minimalist stylings and an extremely thin display that won't look out of place in your living room.
It's available from July for £1,299.
Design and build quality
Many all-in-one PCs arrive sporting cheap, shiny plastic bezels and big, clunky stands that really only make them suitable for a darkened office space. Lenovo however appears to have been studying its style guide closely as the A720 is a considerably more attractive piece of kit.
With its 27-inch display it's a very wide machine, so you'll have to clear a space on your desk. If you intend to keep it in your living room, you'll need plenty of room either side. It is also extremely slim however -- Lenovo claims that its 24.5mm thickness makes it the slimmest all-in-one in the world -- which probably won't help with its placement, but it does make it look very sleek.
In order to achieve such diminutive dimensions, a lot of the main internal components are housed in the base. That naturally makes the base chunkier than the stand on Apple's 27-inch iMac, but it's hardly fat and its small footprint means it can sit on a fairly narrow surface. It's certainly worlds apart from the gargantuan HP Z1 Workstation that needs an enormous plastic stand in order to support its epic bulk.
Both the base and the chassis of the screen are constructed from a matte silver metal with a very minimalist design and sharp, angular edges. I personally found the IdeaCentre extremely attractive and would be more than happy to have it in any room of my house. Others on the CNET team were less keen however, arguing that it looks "bottom heavy" and "too slanty". It's likely then that you'll either love the minimalist look or loathe it.
The front is dominated by an enormous sheet of glass that runs edge to edge, so there's no tacky plastic bezels in sight, which gives it a premium feel. It can also be adjusted to lie totally flat, which when combined with its touch-screen capabilities make it seem like an enormous tablet sat on your desk.
The touchscreen is of the capacitive variety, so you don't need to ram your finger into the glass to get it to respond, and I must say it's one of the more accurate touch-displays I've used on an all-in-one. It's not faultless though, and trying to hit small icons like the minimize buttons can be a tough task, but it's great for moving windows around, opening folders or prodding the media controls on the Blu-ray player.
Once Windows 8 launches however with its tablet-like Metro interface, the touchscreen on the A720 will become crucial. Swiping through the big, live tiles will be a joy and using the various touch-gestures to view open programs or settings will be enjoyably easy. If the A720 appeals to you now, you should be very excited by the thought of getting Windows 8 on it.
The port selection on offer includes two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, an SD card slot, a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, headphone and microphone jacks and an Ethernet port. It's also got HDMI in and out ports which means you can plug in your games console as you would with a normal TV -- very handy if you plan on using it as your main screen in your living room or bedroom.
It also comes equipped with a wireless keyboard and mouse set which are pretty standard. The metal frame and chiclet styling of the keyboard is definitely reminiscent of Apple's keyboards, although it's not quite of the same quality. They do the job, but if you want a more comfortable experience when working on long documents then you should consider upgrading to a better set.
The A720 is dominated by its 27-inch display. It offers a resolution of 1,920x1,080-pixels which is both good and bad. On the one hand, it's exactly the right resolution to enjoy Full HD videos and Blu-rays at their best, and its size makes it ideal for use with your Xbox 360 or PS3.
On the downside, the sheer vastness of the display means that icons, text and windows appear much bigger on the screen than they usually would, which results in them often being noticeably less sharp. This causes no problems whatsoever when you're watching movies from a distance, but when you get up close to do some work, the fuzziness becomes somewhat more noticeable, although it's still perfectly usable.
All-in-ones like the HP Z1 and Apple's 27-inch iMac use higher-resolution displays to ensure that text and images stay pin-sharp, although they do cost considerably more than the A720. A screen with a resolution that high isn't necessarily the best option anyway -- unless you work professionally with graphics.
The display is bright and bold, making it great for popping in a Blu-ray disc and flopping back onto your bed or sofa. Given the size, I personally found it to be an appealing option for a main screen in a living room or perhaps a student's bedroom. It's big and vivid enough to enjoy all your flicks on, and the digital TV tuner and HDMI-in ports mean it can function exactly as your regular telly would.
Stuffed inside the A720's base is a meaty lineup of specs including an Intel Core i7-3610QM processor clocked at 2.30GHz paired with 8GB of RAM. The processor is from Intel's latest range, known as Ivy Bridge, which promise significantly improved built-in graphics over the previous range, known as Sandy Bridge.
To see how it stacks up against other all-in-ones, I fired up the Geekbench benchmark test, and with reckless abandon, hit the 'Run' button. Shortly afterwards I was shown a score of just over 13,500, which is extremely impressive. By comparison, the HP Z1 Workstation achieved around 15,000 on the same test and yet costs nearly two grand more. Apple's 27-inch iMac from 2010 managed to rack up 12,000 and is also quite a bit more pricey.
Benchmark scores aren't everything of course, so I gently persuaded it to encode my 1080p footage into 24fps H.264 video, which it managed to do in the lightning-fast time of 4 minutes 40 seconds. That's almost identical to the length of time Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display took to complete the same task. Given that I found the Pro to be extremely capable of handling even the most intense and demanding of applications, I have no doubt that the A720 would be a machine well-suited to those hoping to work with high-resolution images and videos.
I loaded up a very high-resolution TIFF image taken on the astounding Canon EOS 5D Mark III into Adobe Lightroom 4 and was very pleased at the A720's performance. Loading the image was very quick and switching between library view into editing mode was instantaneous and free of annoying lag. Applying image-wide effects such as Gaussian blur and exposure tweaks was easy to do and at no point did I feel that the computer was struggling to keep up.
It's not just about the processing power though -- this thing packs an Nvidia GeForce GT 630 graphics card with 2GB of VRAM to help you munch through games with ease. I took my rally car for a spin around the Finnish hills in Dirt 3 and was fairly chuffed with the average 35 frames per second that the A720 was able to sustain.
The game was being played at full 1080p resolution with shadows and texture detailing set to high. If you want to up the frame rate for a slightly smoother experience then you can turn some of the quality down and enjoy around 50fps, but all but the most hardcore of gamers will find 35fps perfectly passable.
If tackling the latest glossy games aren't your thing, you can always put the touchscreen to good use and try your luck at the classic Angry Birds or the apple-attacking, banana-bashing, kiwi-killing Fruit Ninja -- both of which are included as standard.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 offers an expansive, yet extremely slim screen, as well as a much more attractive look than most all-in-ones on the market. It's particularly suited to operating as a TV replacement in a living room or student bedroom. The latest Intel processor on-board helps it easily handle intense tasks like photo and video editing.
If you're after a computer that can tackle all the work you can throw at it, with a screen big enough to show off your movies at their best, the A720 is a great choice.

you make that extra point and you make the 3 that we could have had if we didn't go for it on 4th and it would have been a different game in my opinion. It was a flashback the Zook and Michagan in the bowl game. Not a good feeling at all.
I understand. I was going off what my son said watching the game. He's big into how people use statistics, modeling, and economic principles to manage a team. He gave Chip Kelly as an example of someone who goes for two a lot. I know some coaches have these charts of when to go for two and there have been plenty of times I've said why go for it, there's lots of time left, just chalk up the easy point. Of course, some PATs will be missed also, though not as many. Personally I was glad to see some daring from WM and in the end it didn't hurt. I remember well the Zookness of that Outback play. It was going to be a WR pass. You are right that Rex was moving the team. I would say it was not an intangible momentum but the very tangible Rex hitting on all cylinders, making good decisions and throwing good passes. I think what looks likes momentum is really players' attitudes. Someone makes a great play and the team gets fired up and plays better and the other team gets demoralized and gives up. My point is there is no fundamental law at work. There is no guarantee that the one team plays better and the other team doesn't. They can choose to respond differently.
Precisely. There's a time for that, but it's never at the expense of momentum, particularly early in the game.
Where are the stats that support going for 2? NFL 2-pt conversion success for the past decade is 43%. NCAA averages between 40% and 45% from what I gathered on internet searches.
I am not sure what they saw and when. ScUM had no PATs attempted against FAU the week before and if I am not mistaken Murphy is not our regular holder for PATs and FGs. I have to guess that this was practiced during the week and the coaches opted to go for it.
I fall into the camp of "don't go for 2 unless you HAVE to in order to stay alive or win at the end of the game." Let's remember, going for two is not an XP. It is scoring a TD from the 2-3 yard line. In short, you have to score 2 TD's on back to back plays. It's the same as a fourth and goal from the 2-3 yard line. How "automatic" are those? Do we line up in "creative" schemes when it is third and goal inside the 5?
So being up one at 8-7 has no impact, but being down 1 at 7-6 can come back to haunt you? I don't get that. Wouldn't it be just as "haunting" for Miami to be down by 1 if we converted? And why can't I say "who cares whether were tied 7-7 or down 7-6 that early in the game?"? I would agree if they went for 2 in a traditional set (something thats maybe a 50% success rate). Its way to early for that. But they thought they had something that was 100%. Heck they had 2 linemen out there to block 2 what-looks-like linebackers. That should be an easy mismatch. They had it in the Sugar Bowl and it worked. Its obviously something they practice and feel good about.
I have absolutely no problem with the call.....it's amazing how people think the Gators are too conservative and want the Gators to take chances throwing 50 yard bombs which are low percentage, but complain when they show some balls. Mark Richt should not have gone for the onside kick after their first score against SC. I love that call too. I love the high school team in Danville Indiana that always goes for two, onside kicks, 4 down attempts.....LOVE IT ....execution is the key and we did not execute......I hope we do more of this....
If it was such a smart call then why don't more teams college and pro go for it? There are too many people who make their living in football that study the game for a living and they choose not to do it. I think many times coaches outsmart themselves.
Going For 2 In The 1st Quarter. So I have been thinking about this since last week's abomination. The number one thing that irritates me more than anything in football is going for 2 when you don't need it and most of all, in the 1st quarter against a rival. Can anyone here explain to me why it is ever a good idea to do this? I despised it when Zook did it and I just about blacked out after Muschamp did it last week.
I understand it now. When we get that close to the goal line you try to get as many points as you can. I too was angry at first but then I realize we don't score much so why not go for two?
I have moved on, and I'm not talking about any specific incident so much as I want to know what strategy it serves.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT OUR NEXT SEASON will mark Entrada Institute's 21st YEAR of providing opportunities for artists, humanities scholars, writers, scientists, and performers from Utah and the surrounding region to develop and share their work. During those years, we have provided hundreds of events for thousands of you who love the Colorado Plateau, especially the Cockscomb country around Torrey, Utah.
During the next twenty years we will see new demands on the West as populations shift, livelihoods readjust, and the climate continues to change. With your help, Entrada will influence that future by providing interpretive programming, discussion forums, youth education opportunities, and development prospects for thinkers and creative types of all stripes.
The board of directors invites you to help sustain the vitality of the Colorado Plateau and share the splendor of the Capitol Reef area by contributing to the Entrada Institute. It takes about $30,000 for Entrada to provide its three main programs: Saturday Sunset Series, Artist-in-Residence, and Wayne County High School Scholarships.
Our Scholarship Program for Wayne County High provides much-needed financial support for graduating students who wish to pursue a college education—this includes our new Bernice Scholl Memorial Scholarship fund.
Our Saturday Series of readings, concerts, slideshows, lectures, and other events enrich the cultural life of Wayne County while providing artists, humanities scholars and earth scientists to share their new and existing works.
Our Artist in Residence helps support the creation of new works in the Wayne County environs, while providing a housing and meals stipend and an opportunity for the artist to describe his or her experience.
In these uncertain economic times, many non-profit organizations are struggling to stay afloat. Others have shuttered their doors or significantly cut back staff and programming. Entrada is a very lean organization, run by a working board. Please help us by contributing.
Please send your donation to the address (below) or by using PayPal button (below) to help ensure a strong 2013-2014 season.
Thank you for considering this invitation of support.
Entrada Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, tax identification number 87-0514231, and your contribution is tax deductible to the full extent allowable by law.

Gastrulation Movements: the Logic and the Nuts and Bolts
Developmental Cell, Volume 8, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 305-320
Maria Leptin
SummaryGastrulation, the period during the early development of animals when major cell and tissue movements remodel an initially unstructured group of cells, requires coordinated control of different types of cellular activities in different cell populations. A hierarchy of genetic control mechanisms, involving cell signaling and transcriptional regulation, sets up the embryonic axes and specify the territories of the future germ layers. Cells in these territories modulate their cytoskeleton and their adhesive behavior, resulting in shape changes and movement. Similarities among different species in patterning and cell biological mechanisms are beginning to allow us to recognize general, conserved principles and speculate on possible ancestral mechanisms of gastrulation.

Dorso/Ventral Genes Are Asymmetrically Expressed and Involved in Germ-Layer Demarcation during Cnidarian Gastrulation
Current Biology, Volume 16, Issue 5, 7 March 2006, Pages 499-505
David Q. Matus, Gerald H. Thomsen and Mark Q. Martindale
SummaryCnidarians (corals, sea anemones, hydroids, and jellyfish) are a basal taxon closely related to bilaterally symmetrical animals [1,2,3] and have been characterized as diploblastic and as radially symmetrical around their longitudinal axis. We show that some orthologs of key bilaterian dorso/ventral (D/V) patterning genes, including the TGFβ signaling molecules NvDpp and NvBMP5-8 and their antagonist NvChordin, are initially expressed asymmetrically at the onset of gastrulation in the anthozoan sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. Surprisingly, unlike flies and vertebrates, the TGFβ ligands and their antagonist are colocalized at the onset of gastrulation but then segregate by germ layer as gastrulation proceeds. TGFβ ligands, their extracellular enhancer, NvTolloid, and components of their downstream signaling pathway (NvSmad1/5 and NvSmad4) are all coexpressed in presumptive endoderm, indicating that only planar TGFβ signaling operates at these stages. NvChordin expression forms a boundary between TGFβ-expressing endodermal cells and aboral ectoderm. Manipulation of nuclear β-catenin localization affects TGFβ ligand and antagonist expression, suggesting that the ancestral role of the dpp/chordin antagonism during gastrulation may have been in germ-layer segregation and/or epithelial patterning rather than dorsal/ventral patterning.

The surface of the sea urchin embryo at gastrulation: a molecular mosaic
David R. McClay and Gary M. Wessel
Department of Zoology, Duke University, Durham, NC, 27706, USA
A series of cellular rearrangements are observed during gastrulation of the sea urchin embryo. At the same time new cell surface molecules are expressed in a variety of patterns, many of which could serve as molecular cues for morphogenesis.

"That's just me," he said about living life with a smile on his face. "That's what we did in high school, and we rarely lost. We'd have our quiet time, and I still do, but in the back away from everyone."
Some of those former Lakers who have become hypercritical might consider cracking a smile. What next? Kareem dropping his arm and covering his eyes on the statue outside Staples Center?
After Magic blasted the Lakers in tweets, then praised them in two defeats, he went on TV at halftime with Oklahoma City winning big, and said, "It's over for my Lakers — no playoffs, no nothing."
And then I wrote: "What happens if the Lakers beat Cleveland and then Milwaukee? Does Magic tweet the Lakers are back?"
A few hours before playing Miami, Magic tweeted: "Lakers Nation: I feel the @Lakers will definitely make the playoffs and cause some other problems for teams!"
Now that they have lost to Miami, I wonder if they are a "no-nothing" again.
Come on, shouldn't these ex-Lakers understand better than everyone it takes time to play together and there is still a half season to play?
How can you knock a team that is 2-1 since Mike D'Antoni restarted the season?
Just trying to put a smile on your faces.
I THINK it's pretty clear now based on the Manti Te'o story that any time an athlete talks about the loss of a grandparent or parent and how it motivated them to become successful, they are going to have to produce a death certificate.
SOME FOLKS feel the media didn't do their job in fact-checking the Te'o story.
But I think about the uproar when I challenged UCLA football Coach Jim Mora. I asked him about holding back against Stanford knowing it was meaningless game, which of course he did.
ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit suggested I was "pathetic."
What would Herbstreit have said had I interviewed the Notre Dame linebacker and expressed skepticism that both his grandmother and girlfriend had died at almost the same time?
What if I had pressed for details about where the girlfriend had died, where he was sending flowers and how often he had seen her?
SO FAR the truth remains elusive, but it would seem Te'o is either a liar or a pathetic young man who might need help.
Ask yourself as a parent, if your son is the big man on campus, finding love online three years ago but left devastated when the woman he's never met has died, wouldn't you be concerned about the emotional stability of your child?
I KNOW this, things are finally looking up for Lane Kiffin. There were conflicting reports about trouble in the Trojans' locker room after a Sun Bowl loss.
But instead of the story picking up steam it gets lost in all the Lance Armstrong and Te'o hubbub.
I'm just surprised that no one has suggested so far that Kiffin was the mastermind behind the girlfriend hoax.
Get serious: Fun-loving Dwight Howard is not the Lakers' problem

Cooley's Logbook: 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec
We look at Hyundai's oblique answer to the 5 Series, the under-the-radar Genesis sedan in the R-Spec trim. Hyundai has made a lot of stretch goals lately, but is a budget BMW M fighter a battle they want?
2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec
I'll be the first to say I scoffed when I saw an R-Spec badge on the Genesis 5.0 sedan. Needless line extension, I thought. But, in fact, it's not such a stretch (even if the idea that this is a BMW 550i killer is.)
I like the austerity of this car: Clean and almost plain but with sumptuous interior materials. Its 429-horsepower 5.0 V-8 is actually one of the most powerful you can buy in a car under $50 grand and it comes on smoothly. The eight-speed automatic is also an impressive piece at this price, when cars like the Camaro and Grand Cherokee are still hoping to get there.
Related stories
Overall, this is a nice taut boulevardier but not something I felt really great driving on interesting small roads. Think of it as a value proposition, where its $46,500 MSRP and 10/100 warranty make it a no-brainer for a wide swath of car buyers who are considering a 5 Series but aren't exactly sure why.
Don't quibble over the R-Spec compared with the straight 5.0 V-8 Genesis sedan. The extra $1,000 buys a millimeter of sway bar diameter, an inch of wheel size, and a more aggressive, yet tasteful, look. Cheap at twice the cost.

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors after his senior and sophomore seasons. Posted 61/2/5 last year after 65/3/3 as a junior and 90 tackles during his sophomore campaign.
POSITIVES: Scirrotto is a hard-nosed defensive back best playing downhill. He offers possibilities at the next level in a zone defense, where he could face the action. Scirrotto also possesses a special teams mentality.
NEGATIVES: Displays marginal ball skills, and struggles when placed over the slot receiver. Occasionally blows assignments, and shows marginal ball skills. Lacks top sideline-to-sideline range, and he is usually a half step late making plays out to the flanks.
ANALYSIS: Feisty, hard-hitting defensive back best defending the run. Quickly diagnoses the action, has a burst of straight-line speed, and quick up the field defending the run. Works hard to get involved in the action, effectively leads the secondary, and flies around the field trying to defend the pass or stop the run.

your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
I have dined quite often at this restaurant and find it consistently superb.
My favourite dishes are the foie gras - I know I shouldnt but when it is made this well, one must indulge!
Beetroot and watermelon salad with goats cheese is a novel delight, light and refreshing, and the steak tartare is a must - I didnt like it until I tried it here.
Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is always bustling to just the right amount.
I am also a big fan of the busy, authentic french decor.
The pre-theatre and set course menus are fabulous value for money. All in all a great, family run, independent restaurant which I shall return to, time and time again.

We had a pre-matinee booking on St Patrick's Day and only had 40 minutes to have lunch and get to the Donmar Theatre.
We ordered a 3 course set menu and told the staff of our dilemma. The first course was endive salad which could have been fresher and more interesting, had sat dressed for too long. The main courses were salmon and Navarin of lamb which were exquisite. My son who loves food and cooking thought it excellent and my lamb was tender, full of flavour and with a delicious sauce and couscous on the side, no other veg.
The apple tart came straight away with the coffees and was light, fresh, thin crispy base. The white wine carafe well chilled, tap water cold and coffee superb. the waiters (esses) were all very attentive and quick to respond. We left in 35 minutes with minutes to spare for the theatre and would return to spend more time over this fine cooking.
It's a lovely experience to be able to eat a splendid meal in an interesting well-aged restaurant with merit at top speed without stress.
Bravo Mon Plaisir!

This place is awful. The prices and the management are truly the worst you could have. I was charged £28.95 for HALF a grouse. No restaurant in London serves half a grouse. It is an extraordinary rip-off. Then, the manageress complained about me to a thug who was loitering outside, who then berated me for complaining. He claimed they paid £14 wholesale for a grouse. Actual price, say £6 or £7. He was aggressive, rude and threatening. Avoid like the plague.

My friend and I visited Mon Plaisir on Thursday 18 August 2011 and chose the set lunch. We walked in off the street without booking at 12 noon and managed to get one of two tables that were not booked - lesson one, try and pre-book! My friend had salmon with hollandaise sauce served with spinach which she said was delicious. I chose navarin of lamb with spring vegetables. It was simple but stunning, I savoured every mouthful. We both had the same pudding which was fruit and almond tart. It was divine. Service was excellent, house wine was good quality and tap water served without hesitation. Lunch with a glass of wine each with service came to just over £30. Brilliant value, particularly for the heart of London, and for an hour or so imagined we could be in Paris.

It's a good location and the restaurant has a traditional non-chain feel which is all to the good, but we had a number of problems with service and found the food disappointing. One of the starters brought out was wrong - rabbit rather than haddock - and we really didn't want rabbit.
Drinks service was slow and when we asked to have wine with our main course we were practically told off for giving a reminder. The dishes were set down randomly and we seemed expected to swap them round ourselves. The chicken I had - poulet bourguignon was dry and tasteless with lots of broken bones making the experience rather tiresome. We asked for 4 coffees including a decaff and received 3. Eventually we got the fourth but despite being reassured it was decaff, it seems it really wasn't. With desserts at £7+ we shared 1 between 4. The bill was £45 a head for starter, main, & 2 bottles of house red (£19 each) between 4. Service was calculated at 12%. Not good.

Went here on Saturday with a big family group. A good time was had by all and I hope the waiters don't hate me as I was rather drunk!
Had snails for starter which were lovely and garlicky...would hope a place like this would know how to do them right and they did. Followed that with entrecote steak which came withvery thin crispy chips. Steak was quite nice, but nothing special really. It was cooked as requested but every time I eat steak now all I can think of is how good it is at Hawksmoor. Many of my group had lamb which they enjoyed, and my cousin has scallops but I have to say they only gave her 3, maybe 4 on the plate with these weird raw tiny carrots...She liked them but not really enough for a main meal.
Warning about the stairs to the loos if you have had a few and are wearing heels..I managed to fall spectacularly which my cousin thought was hilarious but I now have a massive bruise on the side of my leg. Oh well...it didn't spoil my night!
Worth another visit maybe in a smaller group next time...

This was the worst dining experience I've had in London. My friend and I ordered the £42 beef (for two) and were assured by the Australian waiter that it was exceptional and worth the wait of 30-40 minutes. While we waited, we were offered a couple of slices of bread. We asked for tap water. The smell led me to think that filled my glass with toilet water; absolutely putrid. One sip and I had them take it away.
We were starving, having waited close to an hour. What we ordered was supposed to me medium cooked beef.... what we were brought was tough and chewy, and very small (probably 3 bites of meat each).
Be warned. The decor is tourist-friendly faux French, the waiting staff outnumbers the diners by 2:1 (most annoying having a bunch of waiters standing around).
They could and should have offered us our money back. This is overpriced, tourist-fare with a fussy menu that does not represent French cuisine.

Yup, just had another very satisfactory lunch at Mon Plaisir. I only work around the corner so we sometimes run in there when we need somewhere quiet.
The surroundings are lovely, very french, idiosyncratic, a bit higgeldy-piggeldy and all the more charming for it.
The menu is very rustic french. Always something for the more adventurous there or you could just opt for steak and chips as we did.
Steak was lovely. Cooked perfectly. Chips proper French, thin and crisp. lots of them.
Side dish of beans still with a little crunch.
Just a shame to go back to work. I first went here when I took the missus for a first date some 18 years ago and it was lovely. It has been ever since.
It's on a charming road in Covent Garden yet prices are totally reasonable. My kind of place then!

Cabernet Sauvignon (often shortened to 'Cab Sav' or even just 'Cab') is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. The product of a natural crossing of key Bordeaux grape varieties Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon's DNA was profiled only as recently as 1997, by researchers in California. Most wine authorities agree that the crossing happened only in the past few centuries, making the variety's current fame all the more impressive. From its origins around the Medoc, the Cabern ... more
California's Napa Valley wine region is located immediately north of San Pablo Bay, in the north-eastern corner of the San Francisco Bay Area. Formed by the Napa river as it flows between the Vacas Mountains (to the east) and the Mayacamas (to the west), the valley runs roughly north-west to south-east for approximately 35 miles (57km). The scenic 40-minute drive between Napa and Calistoga passes through some of the most valuable viticultural real estate on Earth.
The Napa Valley, or simply Napa, is one of the world's most famous wine regions, unchallenged by any region in the Americas or indeed the New World. There are several reasons for this global renown, one being the ease with which Napa can be reached by visitors travelling from San Francisco city. Several million wine tourists pass through the valley each year to sample its wines and the world-cla ... more
