Bye-bye Beckham in briefs!
Our favorite soccer stud, David Beckham, is being replaced as the bulge face of Emporio Armani men's underwear with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano is the buff 24-year-old soccer star who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team.
Like David, he loves taking his shirt off in public at games.
So what do you think? Will you miss David's package ads or are you happy to see him being pushed out of bounds by a younger new generation of ball-kicking sweaty hotness?

Beautiful Bicycle: Kyle's Gilmour Track Bike | PERMALINK
*Use the arrow keys on your keyboard, or swipe on any iOS device, to navigate!
As someone who only rides bikes that were made in the States, Kyle's collection of steeds is quite impressive. Calfee road bike, Riv Saluki, S&M BMX, FBM Sword, Santa Cruz Stigmata cross and this Andy Gilmour track bike. When he picked this up from Anthony at Velo Cult, the allure of brakes and bottle cages took over. When all you do is climb on your track bike, hoods are the best thing you could ask for. The 44:17 gearing is ideal for the hilly rides of Los Angeles and tackling Griffith Park with ease… and the Campagnolo C-Record Pista group is just an added bonus.

Matthews Pens A Book About The 2008 World Champs!
You can stop rubbing your eyes now; yes, I am talking about Gary "Sarge" Matthews and new co-author of the book, "Phillies Confidential: The Untold Story of the 2008 Championship Season." Has your jaw hit the floor yet? No? Well then perhaps you are not familiar with the dulcet tones of Matthews' voice or his eloquent game commentary? You all know I love the Sarge, but his announcing sometimes sounds like a young child trying to articulate the proper rules for a game of tag that has gone horribly wrong. Matthews is, after all, the same guy who brought us such witty and wonderful baseball Sarge-isms like "A Good Athlete" and the "Courtesy Turn" (when an outfielder turns to look at a home run leave the park, even if he knows immediately that he has no shot at catching it).
But seriously, the Sarge has improved his game calling skills throughout this past year while under the tutelage of the great Hall of Famer, Harry Kalas. At the beginning of the year, he had difficulty pronouncing some of the last names of the Phillies players; and though I found it hysterical, that does seem to have improved and he became much more comfortable in front of the microphone as the year progressed. His Sarge-isms and occasional slips of the tongue have made him extremely entertaining to listen to, so I can only imagine what is in store for us beneath the pages of this new book. Personally, I cannot wait to read it.
Matthews began writing the book in Spring Training, having no idea that the Phillies would become World Champions that very same year. The Sarge also says he was careful not to reveal too much inside-clubhouse information for fear of alienating anyone, but that the book still gives a comprehensive and behind-the-scenes look at the 2008 Phillies season. I hope he did not hold back too much because I really, really wanted to know what color and style undies Chase Utley prefers. I will be sorely disappointed if there are no "undercover" underwear revelations. And will he answer the question about how long Greg Dobbs really spends on his hair? Inquiring minds want to know! Of course, I am joking, although part of me still wonders….
Sorry for the temporary hormonal interruption… back on topic now: Matthews does cover in the book how he cautioned Brad Lidge in Spring Training about the finicky Philly fans and about how he believes Jimmy Rollins grew into a leader. He also discusses the importance of role players like Dobbs, Carlos Ruiz, Chad Durbin and Pedro Feliz. The book is 192 pages long and co-written with Scott Lauber, who is beat-writer for the News Journal. The book should be flying off a store shelf somewhere near you this week. I will write a review at some point once I get my hands on it. Happy Reading!

Another Happ-Y Day For The Rookie
So I guess we are only going to win games when JA Happ pitches? Well, let's hope not. But we'll certainly take the much needed win tonight! And another great start from the rookie Happ was a nice shot in the arm for the still struggling Phillies. Happ went 6.1 innings with 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 5 strikeouts. During tonight's TV broadcast, analyst Gary "Sarge" Matthews so eloquently put it that this team was in need of a "rumble in the clubhouse to get the juices flowing" or that perhaps the players needed some "slaps upside the head." Well, like I said yesterday, they certainly need a wake-up call. I do think that tonight's win and solid outing by Happ will be a good start to that.
Still a little slow offensively, but scoring 4 runs is better than what they have been putting up lately – zero! So, again, progress is good!
Ryan Howard had a great night, going 2 for 3 with a homer and a walk – his 2 RBI's on the night gave him the Phillies record for the most RBI's of any Phillies player in history before the All-Star break, passing Greg Luzinski; Pedro Feliz also homered; Jimmy Rollins hit a triple; Pat Burrell, Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz also had hits tonight. And All-Star Brad Lidge added on to his save record, notching #20 tonight.
And one more time…VOTE FOR PAT! Time is running out! We have until tomorrow at 5pm…here are a few people that have come out in support of Pat recently (thanks to Larry Shenk at Phillies Insider for the info!):
"He's the most deserving among the group of National Leaguers on the Final Vote ballot," Jayson Stark, ESPN.com.
"Here's the case for Pat to be elected….he's the only player in the league's top 10 in slugging percentage not already on the roster," Paul White, USA Today.
"Pat is the most notable omission on the team," Buster Olney, ESPN.com.
So, get those votes in! Use the link below to vote as many times as you can or you can text the word "VOTE" to 36197 from your mobile phone to have the All-Star Final Vote candidates sent to your phone and then reply with your choice. Go Phillies and VOTE PAT!
Why I Love Gary Matthews
Well folks, the current Phillies – Braves game is not looking good so I felt a bit of comic relief might be in order here. And nothing cheers me up more than a healthy dose of Sarge's baseball wisdom. In fact, who has not been endlessly entertained these past 2 years listening to Mr. Matthews cloud the TV airways with his jumbled player name pronunciations and inventive twists on the English language? I believe he may even have coined a few new phrases.
How about the "Courtesy Turn?" I first heard this one as Chase Utley smacked a homer out of the park against the Reds on April 4th. Apparently, Ken Griffey Jr. "turned" to watch the ball leave the park and Sarge referred to this as Griffey giving the knock a "courtesy turn." How kind of him, indeed. Such a gentleman. Perhaps in their next series, Griffey will present Utley with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates?
Speaking of Utley, in the book of Matthew-isms, "Professional Hitter" is right there at the top of the list where Mr. Utley is concerned. He almost cannot have a conversation about Chase Utley without this particular phrase coming into play. But don't worry; it is not only reserved for Utley. He spreads the wealth on this one. Certainly a favorite of the Sarge, you can hear it at least once or twice per broadcast. And I giggle every time…
And I have reserved my absolute favorite Matthew-isms for last! Drum roll please!!!! You will know it as soon as you hear it…he says it ALL the time! Yes, you guessed it, it is "A Good Athlete!" As in, this guy here is "a real good athlete." He says it on average, 3-6 times per broadcast. Now Sarge, you know I LOVE you, but considering these guys ARE all Major League ball players, I sure hope they are all good athletes! Hee! Sarge, you are SO darn cute! I just want to pinch your cheeks and give you a giant bear hug :o) And in honor of your adorableness, here is a photo of you toting the BBQ at last years' BBQ challenge:
Well, the Phillies have managed to score a few runs so back to watching the game I go…I have a busy day tomorrow too to get ready for! Look for me on TV too! I'll be attending the Phillies Baseball 101 clinic for women and I will be featured on the NBC 10! Show at 2pm as part of a mini-clinic from the day. I'm staying for the game tomorrow night so I'll report back on Thursday and let you know how it goes! Have a good one!

Herne Bay Mail
Gale`s View Extra - Herne Bay Mail Service
- 29th June 2011
Let us assume and it is a very dangerous assumption indeed that the availability of spare capacity and machinery makes it sensible to sort post and packages destined for Herne Bay and Whitstable in Canterbury.
Let us set aside, for the sake of the argument, the fact that to reach the Canterbury sorting office off Military Road and tucked away behind the City Hall it is necessary, first, to traverse the City from which ever trunk route is taken by lorries and then to negotiate a collection of the worst-designed and most congested roundabouts in Kent.
Let us agree that there is an army of postal workers on the doorstep of the antiquated Canterbury site waiting to pre-sort mail for onward delivery to the coastal towns and villages and that transferring the work from other sorting offices will save Royal Mail such sums of money as to justify the exercise.
Having, for the sake of the argument, agreed all of this then there are certain other issues that need to be addressed.
Letters and packages bound for homes and businesses in Herne Bay and Whitstable will still have to be delivered by the postmen and women of those Towns. The post will have to reach them in time, one hopes, to be of value to, particularly, the firms that still rely upon the snail-mail service for the delivery of, for example, signed documents and mail-order goods. Households may be willing to wait for the inevitable gas bill or tax repayment demand but for some an early delivery is the lifeblood of commerce.
So, will there be a fleet of Noddy vans, each containing two buddy buddy postpeople, fighting their way through the rush hour traffic from Canterbury to Herne Bay every morning? And, setting aside the congestion and the fact that the Sturry level crossing will almost certainly cause further delay, how many thousands of miles of carbon emissions will this add to the local environment each week?
Then there is the small matter of undelivered packets. It is generally accepted, except by those determined to live in the past, that over the past five years the nature of postal traffic has changed dramatically. Save for Christmas and Birthday cards, some documents and the occasional handwritten postcard or letter, the majority of communications are now sent and received electronically. Conversely, the growth in e-shopping has led to a consequential increase in the number and size of packets being delivered and it is this change, and it is the resulting increase in the weight of postal sacks, that has led to the phasing out of the much-loved bicycle and the increase in the number of vans and the introduction of the buddy buddy walks that caused such havoc over last Christmas.
Back to the undelivered packets and the mail that, because the postmen have run out of shift-time, will not be delivered today but will have to be delivered tomorrow. Will these items all be returned to Canterbury at the cost of yet more road miles, to be held for collection and delivered late on the following day? And will customers then be required to travel by car or bus or bicycle or horse and cart or on walking frames from the Coastal towns to collect from Military Road what is their own property?
One less than sensible suggestion is that postmen should take their vans home with them keeping undelivered items locked inside. So just how long will it take the criminal fraternity of Herne Bay to realise a Royal Mail van parked at night is likely to contain goodies?
It should surprise nobody to learn that this ill thought through proposal has been offered by the same management that, having been given 2010 years of notice of Christmas then chose to introduce a major reorganisation and change in procedures at the very busiest time of the year. These are the people who, with their forebears and under the leadership of Allan Leighton and Adam Crozier and on Peter (now Lord) Mandelson`s watch transformed a profit-making organisation into a financial albatross.
It is now public knowledge that a few weeks ago I met, at the House of Commons, with the new Chief Executive of the Royal Mail, Ms. Moya Greene, and that she agreed to personally review the plans to shut the Herne Bay and Whitstable sorting offices in the light of my concerns and the local geography. For that I am grateful. It was, of course, highly unlikely that the decision to transfer sorting to a central, albeit wholly unsuitable, Canterbury location would be reversed for to do so might generate a flood of me too requests for similar reviews of similar proposals.
What is essential, though, is that if we are to obviate the threatened daily and nightly convoy of postvans shuttling between the coast and the City and if we are to facilitate a continued service to business and homes (Note to Ms. Greene: you are running a public service and you want the taxpayer to bail out your pension funds to the tune of many millions of pounds so it might be a good idea to deliver) then a Royal Mail depot on the coast will have to be maintained. The location that has the best road access (on the Old Thanet Way) and is the most modern, is Herne Bay.
These decisions have been called in and are now to be taken personally by the Chief Executive in what I am told by her team is the only review of its kind that has taken place. If the wrong decisions are taken, and if as a result we suffer a deterioration of the service or a re-run of the 2010 Christmas chaos then there will be no snow, no junior executives, no extenuating circumstances to blame. It will be Ms Greene`s personal reputation at stake and her head on the block.

Turntable.fm Has Investors Hoping For Their Turn At The Table
Turntable.fm has quickly become one of the latest hot music startup and investors are beginning to take notice. The music site allows users to become DJ's and set up their own themed music room where their avatar can spin tracks from a large catalog of music. Other users can then enter the rooms and if they like what the DJ is spinning, they can reward them with points. Users can listen to unlimited amounts of full-length songs and can easily interact and chat with other people in the room. The startup, which is still invite-only, has garnered a huge following, and is constantly a trending topic on Twitter. According to recent rumblings, the startup is being sought after by a handful of high profile investors hoping to get their hands in what might become the next huge music site. Although Billboard reported to the contrary, the service has yet to close any financing round. Speaking to Techcrunch's Erick Schonfeld, Turntable.fm co-founder Seth Goldsteinsaid, "We have not closed any new financing". There is a lot of interest in the startup particularly from VC firm Accel, Kleiner Perkins, and Union Square's Fred Wilson, the latter of who reportedly offered the company $25 million pre-money valuation. Accel and Kleiner Perkins reportedly offered $50 million. For now, we'll just have to wait and see who the startup chooses and how much they take in.

As soon as Gram left the apartment Sunday morning to work at the food pantry, I raced to my room and slipped on my shoes.

I had to get Mr. McGuire to convince Gram to let me work there.

A memoir-meets-exposé that examines our fraught relationship with the West and our attempts to clean up a toxic environmental legacy
In 2002, Texas journalist Brad Tyer strapped a canoe on his truck and moved to Montana, a state that has long exerted a mythic pull on America's imagination as an unspoiled landscape. The son of an engineer who reclaimed wastewater, Tyer was looking for a pristine river to call his own. What he found instead was a century's worth of industrial poison clotting the Clark Fork River, a decades-long engineering project to clean it up, and a forgotten town named Opportunity.
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Montana exploited the richest copper deposits in the world, fueling the electric growth of twentieth-century America and building some of the nation's most outlandish fortunes. The toxic by-product of those fortunes—what didn't spill into the river—was dumped in Opportunity.
In the twenty-first century, Montana's draw is no longer metal but landscape: the blue-ribbon trout streams and unspoiled wilderness of the nation's "last best place." To match reality to the myth, affluent exurbanites and well-meaning environmentalists are trying to restore the Clark Fork River to its "natural state." In the process, millions of tons of toxic soils are being removed and dumped—once again—in Opportunity. As Tyer investigates Opportunity's history, he wrestles with questions of environmental justice and the ethics of burdening one community with an entire region's waste.
Stalled at the intersection of a fading extractive economy and a fledgling restoration boom, Opportunity's story is a secret history of the American Dream and a key to understanding the country's—and increasingly the globe's—demand for modern convenience.
As Tyer explores the degradations of the landscape, he also probes the parallel emotional geography of familial estrangement. Part personal history and part reportorial narrative, Opportunity, Montana is a story of progress and its price: of copper and water, of father and son, and of our attempts to redeem the mistakes of the past.

Well the world is somewhat speaking in a certain way of wanting more social algorithms than research in life sciences it seems today and this is one more casualty. We have new expensive cancer life prolonging drugs but can't get enough of the generic chemotherapy drugs that do the work and save lives, so the it seems we have some real priorities mixed up in the world today. I have covered quite a bit about Life Technologies and they make that small desk top sequencing machine for one. Life Technologies Debuts Ion Torrent Machine-Cheap Genes at $500 for Single SequenceYou can read the comments below, tells it all….life sciences experiencing lower demand from both academic and government funded research sources in both the US and Europe. I'm sure there's some really talented people here affected and I guess their future is to go work on social algorithms as it seems we are trying to somehow base an entire economy on that factor these days with a government of leaders that are too digitally illiterate to see it and the fact that we need balance of both algorithms and companies "who make something tangible" in order to create jobs and recover the economy…denial of the algorithms that ate New York City might be a good movie title here for what is taking place.

Help Save CMS Middle School Sports and Support The M2 FoundationSalsarita's 1st Annual Cinco De Mayo Taco SmashCHARLOTTE, NC- Join GOT GAME'S Kelli Bartik as she participates in the Salsarita's 1st Annual Taco Smash on Thursday May 5th in Uptown Charlotte. The event will raise money for Charlotte Mecklenburg Middle School Sports and The M2 Foundation. The M2 Foundation was started in 1999 by retired NFL wide receiver, Mushin (Moose) Mohammad to enhance the educational, physical, and spiritual development of children. The M2 Foundation is committed to motivating youths to overcome barriers through planned sessions and workshops, with a goal to help young people improve educational achievements and develop confidence for becoming healthy, productive adults. The CMS Middle School Sports Program was saved this year thru donations from various businesses and yet we face the reality of the sports program being cut again for the 2011/2012 school year. Salsarita's and The M2 Foundation believe that as a community it is important that Charlotteans act together to help keep this program alive. Sports play an invaluable role in the lives of middle school children by helping build character, encourage physical fitness and motivate them to do well in school to meet the sports participation requirements.
The 1st Annual Cinco de Mayo Taco Smash will host local celebrities, business owners, and local government officials in a fun, foodie, fundraising competition. The event will be held on Thursday, May 5th from 12PM – 3PM at the corner of Trade and Tryon St. in Uptown Charlotte.

Product Type: Take 2 Xbox 360 games

A blissful introduction to the warped world of Rapture
Bioshock (Xbox 360)
Member Name: ReviewKing05
Bioshock (Xbox 360)
Date: 01/09/10
Advantages: - Unique narrative with immense depth - Unique gameplay elements like plasmids and ADAM
Disadvantages: - None whatsoever
In 2007, 2K games took the gaming world by complete surprise by releasing their unique FPS 'Bioshock'. With a fresh twist on an established genre, the game intended to take the next-generation of gaming by storm, by immersing the player in a dystopian world of greed, violence and utter isolation. Its unique gameplay elements made it an instant classic then, and its compelling story has meant that it has created an enduring legacy in gaming.
The crux of the game is a suitably fascinating one - left dumbfounded by both capitalist and communist systems on the surface, an ultra-capitalist entrepreneur named Andrew Ryan created a city under the sea in 1946 called Rapture. Here, there would be no censorship, everything earned by an individual would be theirs to keep and there would be no restrictions placed upon science. However, one scientific revelation threatened to destroy this 'utopia': ADAM. This collection of unstable stem cells allowed humans to grant themselves superpowers - or 'plasmids' - but had drastic side effects. Not only was it addictive, but it came to take control of the 'splicers' who used them extensively. Becoming horribly disfigured, they became shadows of their former selves and, in a civil war which ravaged the city in 1958, ordered government in the city ground to a complete halt.
This is where you come in. You assume the role of Jack, emerging from a devastating plane crash in the game's first scene. You scramble to a lighthouse which contains an entrance to the underwater city and once you arrive, you realise that it was probably best if you'd stayed away...Guided via radio by an unknown character named Atlas, you must survive among the crazed splicers and uncover the secrets of Rapture.
Now, if the story isn't enough to entice you into the game, then the graphical excellence of the title certainly will. The developers captured the period they intended to cover impeccably, with the art-deco style permeating every aesthetic level of the game design. Not only are the interiors given a suitably fifties feel, but even the specially made advertisements and propaganda posters are beautifully given a period feel. The impact of the presentation cannot be understated: this level of detail had never before been seen in a console title and, in high definition, this is a truly sublime game to simply gape at. At times you'll literally spend hours just perusing the detailed and varied environments: look out for Eve's Garden in particular, whose lush green forests really offer the feeling that this city was once a rapturous utopia.
Likewise, the crazed enemies you face are suitably rendered. Not only do they shamble along and ramble to themselves - with unique dialogue given to each and every character - but there are several different types of enemy to face throughout the game: spider splicers, for example, crawl on the ceilings and ambush you while nitro splicers hurl dynamite your way. Not only is each 'class' made to feel unique, but each has its strengths and weaknesses which can be uncovered by the research camera you eventually come across. Take snaps of enemies before disposing of them and they'll be easier to beat the next time you see them, a neat touch which snugly fits into the game design.
Undoubtedly, the most challenging enemy of all is the Big Daddy, a character intrinsic to the Bioshock experience. Not only does it adorn the cover art but it is the most challenging of foes in the game, being both heavily armoured and armed to the teeth. Its function is to protect possessed girls named little sisters who draw the ADAM from dead corpses, and, to be able to advance in the game, you need to obtain this solution from the little sisters. The Daddies themselves have their own demeanour and protect their territory violently, lashing out if you near a sister. On the highest of difficulty levels you'll experience some truly epic battles against them, juggling movement, plasmids and firepower to outwit them and get to the valuable sisters.
This brings me onto the next important story element: ADAM. This solution serves two key purposes in the game. The most immediate of these is the moral choice that you as a gamer are given. As previously mentioned, the gamer obtains plasmids by using ADAM as currency. These give the player superpowers such as the ability to set foes alight, electrocute them or fling objects at them with telekinesis (among a wealth of other choices). Put simply: if you have more ADAM, you get more powers and the game is a much easier prospect. So when you meet a sister you have a choice: harvest her for maximum ADAM (i.e. murder her) or obtain a lot less of the solution but free her of her affliction. The choice you have affects the ending you reach at the game's climax and truly makes you think about your moral choices: this is a neat touch which adds to the game's immersion, and it even changes the way in-game characters converse with you.
Aside from the moral side of ADAM, its role as currency is an integral fibre in Rapture. Jack can 'carry' a limited amount of plasmids at a time but using ADAM new slots can be purchased. The same can be said for 'tonics', another in-game feature which gives the player certain perks against enemies such as invisibility while stationary or the ability to hack machines, turrets and cameras with ease. Moreover, the game features an impressive weapon upgrade system; not only are traditional weapons well recreated but they are given a Rapture flavour, designed to look like they were cobbled together by its insane inhabitants. This stretches to the implements added to your guns, with nuts and bolts visibly fixed onto the guns to make them more effective against foes. Not only does this wealth of detail make the game a blast to play but it makes the whole idea of Rapture as a self-contained society all the more believable. It entirely immerses you and makes you see this underground dystopia as a living, breathing organism, a depth of story which other games simply haven't been able to match.
This effect is compounded by the gripping - and rather lengthy - story, whose twists and turns keep you at the edge of your seat throughout. This is helped along by the intuitive objective and story-telling mechanisms, with the player being told where and when to traverse certain areas via radio signals rather than having to read blocks of text. This means you can continue on your way while hearing your objectives, giving you no time to stop and take a breath along the rollercoaster ride. Not only does this system heighten the tension but it nails the atmospheric feel perfectly: you truly feel alone in this twisted vision of paradise and when you're only contact with society is via radio your detachment makes the setting all the more eery and unsettling.
In summary, 'Bioshock' is simply a masterpiece in both theory and practice. The background story to Bioshock would be enough to warrant its own dystopian novel and the level of thought behind the title permeates to the surface of the game design. What's more, the intuitive use of plasmids alongside traditional weaponry gives the game a unique feel unmatched by other FPSs of this gaming generation. The beauty of the title comes in its intuitive mix of aesthetic beauty, compelling and original narrative and impeccable game-play elements including ADAM and radio messaging. Ultimately, this truly is an awe-inspiring title and for those who have overlooked 'Bioshock' for the three years since its release I tell you one thing: play this game. Experience Rapture.
Summary: One of the best games you're ever likely to play - you owe it to yourself to experience Bioshock.

Recruitment deal hits protest limbo
By Jason Miller
May 16, 2003
The administration's Quicksilver e-government program has hit its first big hitch: a vendor protest that has put the Recruitment One-Stop project on hold.
The project was put in limbo last month following a General Accounting Office ruling that upheld a protest of the Office of Personnel Management's award of a contract to revamp
OPM has appealed the ruling, asking GAO to reconsider its decision.
'We will look at the issues that are raised by the party,' said Sharon Larkin, the GAO lawyer who rendered the original decision and is assigned to the appeal.
She wouldn't provide details about the appeal and gave no timetable for when GAO would issue its decision.
An OPM spokesman also refused to comment on the appeal.
A GAO official said it is unusual for agencies to file for a reconsideration; vendors file about 90 percent of appeals.
The official added that GAO might ask OPM to submit a 10- to 30-page document further detailing its argument on why GAO should review its decision.
Bid misunderstood
In its original decision, GAO sided with Symplicity Corp. The Arlington, Va., company had protested OPM's January award of a five-year, $62 million contract to TMP Worldwide Government Services Inc. of New York to update the federal jobs Web site.
GAO upheld the protest on the grounds that OPM erred in evaluating the bid from TMP, which runs the Monster.com job Web site.
Specifically, GAO said TMP's offer included two labor categories that are not included in the company's Federal Supply Service schedule contract through which OPM awarded TMP the Recruitment One-Stop pact.
TMP's bid was unacceptable 'because an agency cannot lawfully use the FSS ordering procedures to order services that are not contained on the vendor's schedule contract,' GAO ruled.
GAO also found that OPM erred in evaluating systems integration costs for the project. OPM failed to assess the bids on an equal basis that considered the total cost to the government, GAO said.
GAO concluded that OPM should re-evaluate all vendors' bids to determine if the proposed services are within the scope of the winning company's schedule contract. It also recommended that OPM reopen discussions with all companies in the competitive range and re-evaluate revised offers.

The small, uninhabited island of Liebes lies in the Baltic Sea, in the lagoon of Varbelvitzer Bodden between the islands of Rügen and Ummanz. It is a good 1,000 metres long, up to 200 metres wide and its highest point lies just 1.5 metres above sea level. The name of the island could be derived from the Slavic word Lipa = "lime tree".
Just like its three very small neighbours, Urkevitz, Mährens and Wührens, it lies within the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park and, as a bird reserve, is out-of-bounds to unauthorised persons.

You can never go wrong with a naked lady I suppose. However whenever I see advertising so directly trying to get my attention with sex I usually become more offended at the attempt than interested in the product. I'm not offended by the sex itself but instead that someone thought a bit of cleavage and booty would be enough to sell me something. California Scheming will have to show me something else to convince me to buy a ticket.
From sex to something more like a novel cover. This looks more like a painting of a movie poster than something you would see on a modern poster, which is why I like it. Throw in the list of actors and I almost don't care what the film is about I'd give it a chance. A big difference from the previous poster for sure.
Simplicity in a horror poster can be hard, you still want to portray fear but doing so with so little is difficult. Here Comes The Devil looks more like a horror film from the 70s when they couldn't readily post violent or disturbing images in theaters. The contrast between red and black, blood and darkness, leaves more to the imagination and that's usually where you'll find the scariest of things.
Raging Bull and Rocky are arguably the greatest boxing films of all time and both compete for some of the best films period. Seeing both De Niro and Stallone in full boxing poses, in the old movie poster style no less, is really awesome. If only I didn't already think Grudge Match was going to be more slapstick and comedy than a true boxing movie. Hopefully that was just the trailer.

WTF is this? Cyclops isn't a warrior, he's a goddamn snitch. And what was the context? Was there an absolute need to bring him up at this stage, or was it just a random comment out of the blue?
And somebody actually got paid to draw that? Sheesh, no wonder the series tanked.
C'mon Rum, I bet you can do better artwork than that blindfolded! The artwork looks like it was sketched really quickly and just filled in with colors. Theres no definition, detail, or composition at all.
Also I have to agree, what does Scott have to do with anything at all there? Can't we have one Emma comic without having to hear about that woman choker?

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROFILEPROTECTION STATUS: Endangered YEAR LISTED: 1995 CRITICAL HABITAT: 120,824 acres in Arizona, southern California, southeastern Nevada, New Mexico, and southwestern Utah designated in 2005 RECOVERY PLAN: 2002 RANGE: Breeds in Southern California, Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, southern Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, and possibly northern Baja California and Sonora, Mexico (very rare if present); winters from southern Mexico to northern South America THREATS: Water projects, urban and agricultural sprawl, livestock grazing, global warming, brown cowbird parasitism, replacement of native habitats by introduced plant species, vegetation clearing, and fire POPULATION TREND: Prior to its listing as an endangered species in 1995, the southwestern willow flycatcher was declining dramatically throughout its range. Between 1993 and 2005, the number of known territories increased from 140 to 1,214, but much of the increase was due to expanded survey effort. The actual recent population trend is not known. |

This is a unique story here but patient information via HIPAA needs to be protected and instead of transferring patient data right into a MDVIP data base, he could have taken another route and that would have been to have the patients use a PHR. Yes it is a little extra work but if patients would have had their own personal health record, and if they decided to follow the doctor to his new concierge practice, then the patient would have been in control to share the information. As you can see below MDVIP is owned by Proctor and Gamble and is a company set up to help doctors with a boutique practice business model. I am sure the doctor was not violating HIPAA on purpose but rather just wanted the demographic and perhaps other information to continue caring for his patients, but again the PHR is the way to do this. The physician's group has filed a lawsuit as well and now the doctor is not associated with MDVIP and the article states a phone call survey was taken to contact the patients. Who knows how this will all end up but a costly lesson for everyone it seems all the way around. A PHR held by the patients I feel would have made all the difference in the world. This also brings about some good questions too as it were only demographic information that was used, shoot this stuff is bought and sold all over the web today and beyond most consumers comprehension. The data flow here was just outside the privacy laws. Here's another interesting link to read up on relative to privacy. Patients Like Me Experienced Data Mining Through a Data Mining Research Firm Break In –The Nielsen CompanyNow there are marketing companies that flat out buy your prescription data and sell it to insurers or companies doing clinical trials too and this you have no control over if you are on record at a pharmacy or PBM and the second company notes below is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Health Care and this has been going on for years and they make big dollars doing it so again by comparison your medication records can be bought and sold all over the place, but let a doctor take some simple demographics, it seems the lobbyists have it in here as there's profits to be made here. You can read the statement from Milliman about Intelliscript here . "Does this process make it more difficult for consumers to get insurance? You can read more about Ingenix MedPoint here. There's also a flash presentation where you can view the process here. "By increasing understanding of potential disease conditions and relative risk, MedPoint enables underwriters to more accurately project future claims costs on a case-by-case basis." Data mining is just another series of algorithms out there functioning on the web to find data. Writing queries to match is not that hard once one finds a common denominator and again read below to where the one company wants a patent on their automated query system to match up your personal information with the likes of Twitter and Facebook. "Department of Algorithms – Do We Need One of These to Regulate Upcoming Laws?Perhaps this doctor will look in other ways to create his concierge practice as it appears this is where this was headed and there's nothing wrong with that if his geographic area has the support of the patients who see value, and many doctors have changed to a concierge practice, and it's not a crime, but insurers generally will fight this as they lose the element of control with the data as it resides with the doctor, gee the battle for patient data can sure get ugly. If this pursues in court I see this as a total waste of money and taxpayer time as the firing I feel is enough as Lehigh has made their point and we need doctors more than ever now so let him practice how he chooses.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was the wife of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and served as First Lady during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born in New York, to Wall Street stock broker John Vernou Bouvier III and Janet Norton Lee. Her parents divorced in 1940 and her mother married Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jr. in 1942. Her mother's family, the Lees, were mostly of Irish descent, and her father John was part French and English.
She spent her early years in East Hampton, New York at the Bouvier family estate. Following their parents' divorce, Jacqueline and her sister Lee divided their time between their mother's homes in Virginia and Rhode Island and their father's homes in New York City and Long Island. At a very early age she became an enthusiastic equestrienne, and horse-riding would remain a lifelong passion. As a child, she also enjoyed drawing, reading and lacrosse.
Bouvier pursued her secondary education at the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland. When she made her society debut in 1947, Hearst columnist Igor Cassini dubbed her Debutante of the Year. She transferred to George Washington University graduating in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature.
Jacqueline and Senator John Kennedy belonged to the same social circle and often attended the same functions. In May 1952, at a dinner party organized by mutual friends, they were formally introduced for the first time. The two began dating soon afterward, and their engagement was officially announced on June 25, 1953. Bouvier married Kennedy on September 12, 1953 in Newport, Rhode Island. An estimated 700 guests attended the ceremony and 1,200 attended the reception that followed. The two settled in McLean, Virginia.
Jacqueline suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956. That same year they sold their estate to Robert and Ethel Kennedy and moved to a townhouse in Georgetown. Kennedy subsequently gave birth to a second daughter, Caroline, in 1957, and a son, John, in 1960.
On January 2, 1960, John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Presidency and launched his nationwide campaign. Though she had initially intended to take an active role in the campaign, Kennedy learned that she was pregnant shortly after the campaign commenced. Due to her previous difficult pregnancies, Kennedy's doctor instructed her to stay at home. From Georgetown, Kennedy participated in her husband's campaign by answering letters, taping television commercials, giving televised and printed interviews, and writing a weekly syndicated newspaper column, "Campaign Wife."
In the general election on November 8, 1960, John F. Kennedy narrowly beat Richard Nixon in the U.S. presidential election. A little over two weeks later, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to the couple's first son, John Jr. When her husband was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961, Kennedy became, at age 31, one of the youngest First Ladies in history.
As First Lady, Kennedy devoted much of her time to planning social events at the White House and other state properties. She often invited artists, writers, scientists, poets, and musicians to mingle with politicians, diplomats, and statesmen. Perhaps due to her skill at entertaining, Kennedy proved quite popular among international dignitaries. When Soviet Premier Khrushchev was asked to shake President Kennedy's hand for a photo, Khrushchev said, "I'd like to shake her hand first.
The restoration of the White House was Jacqueline Kennedy's first major project. She was dismayed during her pre-inauguration tour of the White House to find little of historic significance in the house. The rooms were furnished with undistinguished pieces that she felt lacked a sense of history. She initiated a Congressional bill establishing that White House furnishings would be the property of the Smithsonian Institution, rather than available to departing ex-presidents to claim as their own and she wrote personal requests to those who owned pieces of historical interest that might be, and later were, donated to the White House. Mrs. Kennedy oversaw redesign and replanting of the White House Rose Garden and the East Garden, which was renamed the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden after her husband's assassination. Focus and admiration for Jacqueline Kennedy took negative attention away from her husband. By attracting worldwide public attention, the First Lady gained allies for the White House and international support for the Kennedy administration and its Cold War policies.
Early in 1963, Kennedy became pregnant again and curtailed her official duties. She spent most of the summer at the Kennedys' rented home on Squaw Island, where she went into premature labour on August 7, 1963. She gave birth to a boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, via emergency Caesarean section, five and a half weeks prematurely. His lungs were not fully developed, and he died of respiratory distress syndrome on August 9. The couple was devastated by the loss of their infant son, and that tragedy brought them closer together than ever before.
On November 21, 1963, the First Couple left the White House for a political trip to Texas, stopping in San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth that day. After a breakfast on November 22, the Kennedys flew to Dallas on Air Force One. A motorcade was to take them to the Trade Mart where the President was scheduled to speak at a lunch. Mrs. Kennedy was seated next to her husband in the limousine.
After the motorcade turned the corner onto Elm Street, Mrs. Kennedy heard what she thought to be a motorcycle backfiring, and did not realize that it was a gunshot. Within seconds, two more shots had rung out. The final shot struck the President in the head.
Following the assassination, Mrs. Kennedy stepped back from official public view. The steadiness and courage of Kennedy during her husband's assassination and funeral won her admiration around the world.
In June 1968 when her brother-in-law Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, she came to fear for her life and that of her children. On October 20, 1968 she married Aristotle Onassis, a wealthy, Greek shipping magnate, who was able to provide her family with the privacy and security she needed for herself and her children. As a result of the marriage, the media gave her the nickname "Jackie O."
Onassis's health began deteriorating rapidly and he died in Paris, on March 15, 1975. Now that her children were older, she decided to find work that would be fulfilling to her. Since she had always enjoyed writing and literature, she threw herself into this field.
In 1993, Mrs. Onassis was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although doctors were initially optimistic, by April the cancer had spread, and she made her last trip home from Hospital on May 18, 1994. Onassis died in her sleep at 10:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, two and a half months before her 65th birthday.

Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.

Read the most recent article from Boston Children's Medical Editor Dr. Claire McCarthy
Support the hospital with a donation that helps kids get the care they need.
Children with bowlegs, when standing straight with toes pointed forward, have ankles that touch but knees that do not. Bowlegs is a condition involving the shin and thigh (tibia and femur) bones. Having bowlegs is considered a normal part of growth in young children, as are "knock-knees," in which both knees point inward. Bowlegs usually go away on their own by the time your child is four or five years old, or sometimes as old as eight years old.
But if your child remains bowlegged, it may be a sign of an underlying bone disease, such as Blount's disease or rickets, which is caused by a Vitamin D deficiency.
How Boston Children's Hospital approaches bowlegs
Bowlegs cannot be corrected permanently without first treating the underlying cause for the condition. In the meantime, doctors at Children's try to make sure that your child's legs can straighten themselves naturally. If this doesn't work, doctors may require your child to wear corrective leg braces. Only the most severe cases would require surgery.
Should I be concerned with my baby's progress in walking?
Below are considered average developmental milestones in your baby's ability to walk:
Your child, like most children, was probably born with bowlegs, which usually straighten themselves out as your child gets older.
What causes bowlegs?
Most often, bowlegs develop as part of natural growth, although certain conditions, such as Blount's disease and bone malformations present at birth, may cause a child's legs to bow. In Blount's disease, your child's shin bone (tibia) grows abnormally, causing a sharp curve below the knees. A child with Blount's disease is forced to walk with the affected knee flexed, which increases bowing of the leg. This can lead to severe knee joint problems. Blount's disease is more likely to affect female children, African-American children, obese or short children, or children who walk at an early age.
Some metabolic disorders, such as rickets, a disease caused by Vitamin D deficiency, can also cause bowlegs. This occurs when Vitamin D deficiency affects and weakens a child's bones, causing the legs to bow.
How does a doctor know my child has bowlegs?
Bowlegs are obvious when a child stands with legs straight and toes pointed forward. Your child's physician can determine the severity of bowlegs by observing the position of a child's legs, knees, and ankles and by measuring the distance between the knees. The doctor will also want to observe your child while walking, both coming and going, to assess the degree of internal rotation.
To document the positioning of the bowlegs and to look for any underlying bone deformities, your child's doctor may recommend X-ray films of the knees. During infancy, however, there is no clear distinction between Blount's disease and natural bowing. If your child is under 15 months of age, the X-ray can document the degree and location of bowing, but cannot be used to distinguish natural bowing from Blount's disease until the baby is older.
Specific treatment for bowlegs will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Depending on your child's age, the doctor will probably advise delaying treatment of bowlegs to give leg bones a chance to straighten naturally.
If bowing of the legs does not correct itself, or increases after a child has been walking for some time, a physician may recommend corrective appliances.
Treatment of Blount's disease usually involves a combination of non-operative measures that include wearing a special brace and osteotomy. This brace, known as a modified knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) is designed to prevent knee flexion and must be worn day and night (23 hours a day). This brace works by releasing the compression forces in the area of the knee to allow the resumption of normal growth. Young children with the disease may not need surgery if the brace alone corrects the problem.
Rickets can be corrected by adding vitamin D and calcium to the diet.

The tour was OK but no-where near as good as other city based open top bus tours. Distances are quite long between places of interest. We went from the cruise port and there is a shuttle to the Iranian market where we had to wait quite a long time for the actual bus to arrive despite our driver repeatedley telling us it was just 2 minutes away. As we were waiting in in Arabian sunshine we stayed in the bus but the air conditioning had broken down. A reasonable way to see the expanse of Abu Dhabi but don't expect too much.

A summary of the bill is below:
"This year's appropriations bill continues to ensure that the nationss consumer and investor protection agencies have the tools and resources necessary to protect Americans," said Senator Dick Durbin, Chairman of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee. "The passage of the Wall Street reform bill expands responsibilities and important roles for the SEC, CFTC and this bill provides the funding to continue this much needed reform. Once again our bill is both fiscally responsible and transparent and does a great deal with increasingly scarce resources."
Full Opening Statement by Senator Durbin
FY 2012 Discretionary Funding: $21.731 billion
Disaster Relief: +$167.3 million
Compared to President's Request ($25.991 billion) (- $4.259 billion) (16.4 % decrease)
Compared to FY 2011 Enacted ($21.955 billion) (-$224 million) (1% decrease)
This bill reflects reductions below the Fiscal Year 2011 funding level in many programs. In making these difficult funding decisions, programs related to implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial reforms were prioritized. Summaries of funding decisions are below.
Bill Summary
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): The Senate bill provides $1.407 billion, an increase of $222 million (19%) above the FY11 enacted level, to enable the SEC to fulfill its mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. This funding, fully offset by collection of securities transaction fees, supports increased legal and investigative staffing for oversight and enforcement responsibilities including significant new mandates under the Wall Street reform law, as well as substantial investments in IT upgrades.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC): The Senate bill provides $240 million, an increase of $37.7 million (18%) over the FY11 enacted level, to enable the CFTC to fulfill its mission to protect futures markets from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices and foster open, competitive, and financially sound markets. The increase supports staffing increases and IT enhancements to meet significantly expanded responsibilities in implementing mandates under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law including regulation and oversight of trading and clearance of over-the-counter derivatives.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC): The Senate bill provides $114.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million or 0.3% below the FY11 enacted level, to monitor the safety of consumer products.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS): The Senate bill provides a total of $11.663 billion, a decrease of $458.8 million (3.8%) below the FY11 enacted level. Within the account, $330.2 million, an increase of $66.8 million (25.4%) above the FY11 enacted level, is provided for Business Systems Modernization. These funds will support completion for the 2012 tax filing season of the migration from obsolete legacy systems to a state-of-the-art data system with capacity for daily posting, expedited refund processing, and enhanced customer service.
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund: The Senate bill provides $200 million, a decrease of $27 million (11.7%) below the FY11 enacted level of $227M. The recommendation will continue critical seed funding that generates private investor confidence to support community development projects in our nation's communities that are unserved or underserved by traditional financial institutions, including affordable housing developments, retail developments, community facilities such as day care centers, and small business loans.
Small Business Administration (SBA): The Senate bill provides $788 million for SBA, an increase of $58 million (8%) above the FY11 enacted level. The recommendation ensures that small business lending remains at maximum levels and supports technical assistance for entrepreneurs seeking to start or grow a small business. The Senate bill eliminates the PRIME program for a savings of $8 million compared to the FY11 enacted level, focusing resources on the Microloan program to foster the availability of microcredit for small businesses. The recommendation provides $113 million for Small Business Development Centers, equal to the FY11 enacted level.
Treasury, Other: The Senate bill provides $972 million for other Treasury programs, including terrorism and financial intelligence programs, administration of federal disbursements such as Social Security payments, and the Special Inspector General for TARP. The recommended level is $23 million below the FY11 enacted level due to identified efficiency savings.
Office of National Drug Control Policy (part of the Executive Office of the President): The Senate bill provides $359.3 million, which is $47 million (13%) below the FY11 enacted level. $238.5 million is provided for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program, the same as the FY11 enacted level. $92.6 million is provided for the Drug-Free Communities Program, $2.2 million (2.4%) below the FY11 enacted level. Due to funding constraints and mixed reviews, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is eliminated (funded at $35 million in FY11).
The Judiciary: The Senate bill provides $6.93 billion in mandatory and discretionary funding for the Federal Courts, an increase of $26.7 million or 0.4% above the FY11 enacted level. While this represents an overall increase for the Courts, in reality, most accounts within the Judiciary are cut below last year's level. The increases are for the Courts' mandatory programs (as requested) as well as in certain areas such as security. In addition, these funds will help mitigate:
- the loss of staff in court offices, probation, and pretrial services offices;
- the inability to provide payments to panel attorneys for the full year;
- the suspension of civil jury trials before the end of the year.
The Judiciary is one of the largest accounts in the FSGG bill, requiring sizeable increases each year just to maintain current operations. The Subcommittee recognizes these needs and the importance of maintaining adequate court operations, and has accommodated these needs as much as possible, while balancing other priorities.
District of Columbia: The Senate bill provides $658.1 million in Federal payments for designated purposes, a decrease of $40.6 million (5.8%) below the FY11 enacted level. Of the recommended Federal payments, $535.5 million (84%) is for the salaries and expenses of the local courts, defender services, and pre-trial and post-conviction offender supervision, all of which are fully dependent on Federal funds for their operations and independent of local government. The amount designated for the District government is $122.6 million, of which $90 million (73%) is for education-related functions (school improvement and D.C. Tuition Assistance Grants for post-secondary education).
Election Assistance Commission (EAC): The Senate bill provides $14.8 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 10.3% below the FY11 level.
General Services Administration (GSA): The Senate bill provides $65 million for construction and acquisition and $280 million for repair of federal buildings and courthouses. Funding in the amount of $4.6 million for policy and operations is rescinded.
Office of Special Counsel (OSC): The Senate bill provides $18.97 million, an increase of $514,000 (2.7%) over the FY11 enacted level to help address staffing needs to meet expanded responsibilities to protect the reemployment rights of veterans returning from active duty.
