Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
The philanthropic and the very, very flexible came together under one Vaudevillian roof last night at the Box, Simon Hammerstein's dinner-theater hot spot on the Lower East Side, for a benefit celebrating the children's charity Only Make Believe, founded by Hammerstein's mother, Dena. "We're bringing in a different set of people who have never known the kind of work that we've done, so it's a wonderful opportunity," she said. In the packed reception area, mingling guests included painter Damian Loeb and wife, Zoya; writer Jessica Joffe; film publicist Peggy Siegal; and the master of ceremonies, Mike Myers, who took off his comedic hat for the night. "It was one of the most meaningful things I've ever seen in my life and I cried like a baby," he said, referring to the charity's work with disabled children in hospitals. Meanwhile, just above his head, a smiling performer was contorting her body around a giant hoop. "Next year is our tenth annual gala," said Simon Hammerstein about the charity. "So I thought the year before that we should do something different, out of the box—no pun intended."

Stratham, N.H. – They're easy to spot in their school colors, with matching hats and, in some cases, even belts that reveal their collegiate affiliation. There's LSU head coach Chuck Winstead, decked out in a deep purple and gold-striped shirt, tracking a player who has verbally committed to the Tigers.
A few holes away stands a man in Buckeye scarlet-and-gray that quickly identifies him as Ohio State's Donnie Darr. Conrad Roy of Stanford proudly wears a white shirt with the cardinal red "S" on the breast pocket.
College coaches have been everywhere at this U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, walking the fairways of The Golf Club of New England to follow recruits or perhaps discover a diamond in the rough that isn't yet on anyone's radar.
"They all come to the U.S. Junior Amateur because it's one of the most important [championships] in the world," said Roberto Galletti, whose son, Nicolo, reached the quarterfinals before being eliminated on Friday by Liu. "It's also good for the junior rankings, which college coaches look at all the time. But it's important they see these players in person, and they can do that again and again all week.
"For Nicolo (who will attend Arizona State), the exposure he received here really made a difference."
More than 100 coaches journeyed to New Hampshire this week. They traveled from schools big and small, from Wake Forest, Texas and Arizona State to Liberty University, Clarion University in Pennsylvania and Keenesaw State in Georgia. Coaches from colleges in more than 30 states, including Hawaii, were in attendance, and every major conference was represented.
The U.S. Junior Amateur is an event coaches dare not miss.
"There's a plethora of talent, not only from the United States but elsewhere, which you can see from looking at the leaderboard and seeing where these players are from," said Mark Leroux, head coach at Missouri. "This is a championship that as a coach you have to be at to look for talent."
For many of the young guns here competing, the U.S. Junior Amateur provides a unique opportunity to showcase their skills and, perhaps, catch the eye of a coach who was previously unaware of their talent.
"There are always a ton of overlooked players that get here, make match play and from that point on make a name for themselves and get some recognition," said Jay Calvo, assistant coach at Liberty. "It's great exposure for a lot of kids who don't play beyond their home state or in national competition."
Maverick McNealy was one such example this week. He had never competed outside California before coming to the Junior Am, and numerous coaches were inquiring about the gutsy kid who reached the quarterfinals before losing in 20 holes to Matthew Scobie of Canada.
Unfortunately for them, he has verbally committed to attend Stanford. "All these coaches were going up to [Stanford coach] Conrad Roy and asking, 'Where did you find this kid?'" said Scott McNealy, Maverick's father.
"You'll see a few kids out there with no ranking, so they haven't played in a lot of tournaments that some of the more well-known players have," Leroux says. "So it gives coaches the chance to find a kid who is perhaps blossoming late and having a great summer."
While discovering a hidden talent is always a goal, coaches are also following players they have been recruiting, hoping to learn more about their ability, composure and how they handle the pressure of match play on the national stage.
"We look at their fundamentals and how competitive they are on the golf course," Calvo said. "We like to see how they carry themselves. If they're down in a match, do they grind it out until the very end, trying to push for extra holes?"
Leroux even watches how players behave, even to the point of how they interact with their parents. Although talent is the top priority, a player's character is critically important. The fact that the U.S. Junior Amateur is match play after the opening two rounds provides coaches with insight not available at other competitions. It also gives players the chance to display their poise, toughness and mettle.
"Match play brings out something different," Leroux says. "It's not the total at the end of the day that counts; it's hole by hole. You can see how kids rise to the occasion, kids that can kind of grab somebody by the throat when they get them down, and those that might get timid and fold under the pressure. Match play certainly gives us as coaches another perspective on the young man."
Throughout the week, and especially on Monday and Tuesday when the entire field is competing, college coaches are practically shoulder-to-shoulder walking the fairways, which makes for an interesting dynamic. None want to give away trade secrets about a potential recruit, or even that they're interested in a particular player. So coaches attempt to remain discreet, often watching from afar, hoping not to be noticed.
"Everybody knows the players at the top of the rankings, but on some of the lesser known, if you have some insight that other coaches don't, you're not going to give that up," Leroux says. "There is certainly a cat-and-mouse game that goes on. It's kind of a catch-22; you want the player you're watching to know you're there, but you don't want all the other coaches thinking, 'Hey, what's he doing over there?'"
But in the end, it's the players who benefit from the exposure that could ultimately lead to a college scholarship and a life-changing experience.

North Carolina forms Humane Agriculture Group
Farmers who dont want to sacrifice animal-welfare for commercial interest are banding together to form the NC Agriculture Council.
The Humane Society of the United States is fighting back against the cruel practices of agribusiness in North Carolina and all throughout the United States by forming an advisory board in the Southern state comprised of family farmers and ranchers. The group will promote farms that adhere to animal-welfare standards, seek out market opportunities so these independent and ethical businesses can thrive, and try to increase the number of independent family farmers in the area. The North Carolina Agriculture Council is not the first HSUS organization of this kind; Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado also have independent agriculture groups that seek to bring animal interests back to the business.

Look like a pair of fakes.
It wasn't that they weren't allowing American releases, they couldn't. Before Wade signed the company had recorded record losses. Literally lost millions more than what they made. They don't have the factories or man-power to supply the demand. I agree the $250 is a little ridiculous but we both know cats will bend over and drop their boxers willingly just to have these.
Can't front though, I seen them in person and had them in my hands and the quality is ridiculous. Nike and Jordan brand haven't put out a shoe in a long time with the quality that these have. Still, not $250 worth.
The company isn't new. It's been around in China for a while now. The company was doing pretty bad but somehow still one of the most popular sneaker brands in China. The acquisition of Dwyane Wade was seen as a move to catapult the company into the plus side of their earnings but it hasn't been the case. They don't have the facilities to manufactur the demand at this time and the company wants to take care and supply the demand in China first before coming to the states. The Chinese are a very loyal people and like to take care of their own. Not a smart business model but it is what it is. This is very possibly just a way for them to test the waters here in the states and depending on how this goes (which should obviously be very well) it could open up the doors to finally set releases to more shops and retailers across the states. I agree though that they're way expensive. I'm reconsidering now.
Been loving this cw since I first saw it. Looks tougher on feet and especially with that 'fit. Gotta snag me that tee.
Looks like a lighter shade of the anthracite/crystal mint.
I'm not one to rock jerseys at all outside of my team but I might just have to get the throwback Kemp jersey for these.
Damn this colorway combined with the design is tough. Definitely dig these more than the Heat Away cw. Can't wait to see a "stealth" or "blackout" cw. This design is dope as long as it's given a colorway that plays well with it. The right colorway sets the shoe off while the wrong one will make it look like trash. Can't wait for the ID options.
Judging from what we know on this pick these are mids. Can't wait to see the rest
I really dig the parachute gold but I'm still undecided about this cw. That's my hometeam too so I should be into this but I can't honestly say I'm 100% feeling these.
These are very very clean. Consider my interest piqued.
I really like a lot of DeJesus' customs. He usually keeps things clean and simple and executes very well but these are hideous. Sorry but the V silo has a lot going on as it is. A "what the" theme just wouldn't go well with these. I could be proven wrong but not here.
Can't wait to see the first Batman "Tumbler" custom. You know it's coming. These grew on me pretty quick. Really digging this style with this particular colorway. Can't wait to cop. Taking a break for a bit and if these drop in October they will be the next shoe purchase... well, after the KD 6 Bamboo.
Did you just suffer a seizure? Have you received medical attention?
I understand where you're trying to go with the conversation but there hasn't been a decrease in Swoosh placement. The X has two large swooshes on the outside heel and the inside from the toe box. I do believe that LeBron's sigs are going to eventually go in the direction of Jordan brand where we might see a "dunkman" logo on the shoes instead of the swoosh. I'm for it. However that Jumpman logo will always be much more iconic than a Dunkman logo or whatever logo they would go with.
At this point in his career, LeBron has gained more hype around his shoes (not to mention the production of alternate shoes such as the ambassador and soldier models) at this point then Mike had at his. LeBron also has so many more colorways than Mike ever had. I'm willing to argue that the LeBron X will go down as one of the most popular sigs of all time. Right up there with the Jordan 1 and XI. Can you imagine when they retro the X in like 5-10 years from now? The hype will be beyond comprehension.
I don't think the shoe would be so underrated if the price came down a bit. The price point on these are absurd. This colorway is super clean though.
Not really feeling these. Not as nice as the KD V N7's I think the "Bamboo" joints are the nicest so far. Can't wait to cop them.
Got mine at HoH this morning. Probably the only lows I plan on copping unless I can somehow get my hands on the Championship Pack.
So butt hurt... Must be a Boston, Chicago, Knicks, or Cleveland fan. Possibly an Indiana or LA fan. Spurs fans aren't butt hurt and too classy.
I live down here too and I see it being the same thing as the MVP release. Bullshit raffles. Unknwn was giving a 4 hour window to get tickets with people lined up in the heat and rain outside of Aventura and then the third day of the raffle they cut it two hours short at the last minute. HoH wasn't a hassle but who knows how many people are legitimately being picked and called after the employees hook their people up. Shoe Gallery was legit when they did their raffle on Vine. Honestly I hate the raffle system. It should be first come first serve or an RSVP system. Let's see what happens with these.
Guys, guys. Guys. Listen. Guys, for real. Hear me out. Let's take... guys... listen.. let's take elephant print.. hear me out... and put it all over... for real, guys.. put it all over the entire. freakin. shoe. BOOM! Right?!

Sure, we could use the Lensic's Valentine's Day showing of Moonstruck to take pot-shots at how Cher used to be able to express emotion; how Nicolas Cage used to be a gifted hunk; how the flick captures both of these two fabulous faces at their zenith of good looks and talent; how, soon after Moonstruck, the nation wondered what had ever happened—how the joy of celebrating the romance of Little Italy died or how we stopped caring about little things like love, our mamas and papas and pizza. But we won't. We're not going to mention these things. We're going to tell you to go see this wonderful film at the Lensic on Valentine's Day. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated Moonstruck for six awards, of which the movie won three. (Tor Travis)

Rolling Back The Rivers In Time Rolling Back The Rivers In TimeIn the homeworld known as Summer Forest, which is located somewhere in Avalar, Elora was lying on her stomach on the grass whilst kicking her legs back and forth repeatedly; she was under the shade of one of the tall trees below the steps of the castle. An A4-sized piece of white, blank paper was in front of her and she was holding a pen in her right hand. She was in the midst of writing a letter to a certain little, purple dragon who saved Avalar from Ripto's wrath. She felt relaxed, the sun was shining and the sounds of sheep and frog fodder filled the air.She read the words as she wrote them in her own dainty, neat handwriting on the paper. There were lots of tiny letters forming into curly, wavy words, uniting into joint-up handwriting. "Dear

Unluckily, persistent hacking coughs were let out of his reptilian lips as he was coughing roughly and harshly into his small, right claw while he approached the front of his house. They appeared to be dry, painful coughs with harsh, unpleasant sounds. Elora, who stood in the doorway on the ground floor, greeted him and make him feel at ease like an ordinary wife would welcome her husband home."How was your day, Spyro?" Elora enquired, a smile stretched across her lips and eagerly waiting for a reply from the renowned, undisputed hero of the Dragon Realms, Avalar and the Forgotten Worlds. Unfortunately, he barely spoke a word, his scaly

ap nidalee is my favorite healer. her dmg is insane and her heal is just as good as most other healer champs. taric is my 2nd favorite and thats only for the stun (and his innate fabulousness)
sona decent, soraka decent, nid decent, kayle decent, taric great, janna great. I still prefer nidalee so I can farm, I can push, I can do damage in teamfights, AND support. That AS is beastly enough without the 650 heal. lasts 7 seconds, is 6 sec cd with reduc, and is 60% atk speed. Throw that on a carry or AD, or even yourself if pushing a tower. The heal component is 180+1.25 AP so with 400 AP i do 680 heals, +60% atk speed. Her spears throw out 230+.65AP. That makes 490dmg spears at 400ap, BUT deals more damage the further away, up to 250%. so 490 becomes 1225 damage spears. Her traps do 260+1*AP so thats 660 dmg traps andz they lower armor by 40%, thats a free last whisper and void staff at once. add on to that her kitty cat skills for chasing with pounce spam, all her cat skills use no mp so she can conserve it to heal/support. Don't count out the crazy cat lady. Last game I played her team loved me, I kept sniping people under turrets with my spear. They dont seem to understand that my spear does more further away. An early tear leads to being capped tear at about 10-15 minutes due to cougar easily spamming when farming with no mp costs. /end rant As always sorry for grammar, all my posts come to you from my desk at work where I type inbetween things...starting to wish I could make this a signature
I have to say that soraka is pretty underpowered. Shes really terrible lategame, early game shes very hard to push out of lane, but on the other hand she does pretty bad damage. sorakas burst heal does maybe 1/4th of a champs hp which is hardly helpful in a team fight and its not like she can do anything else. The one thing soraka is good at is being in a duo lane and allowing her partner to dominate the lane. Yes, at level one sorakas heal is kind of OP. No that doesnt mean that she is any good. I dont claim that there isnt some really good soraka players, but i would rather have the really good sona/janna players on my team. Riot kind of hates heals. And since soraka is based as being a pure healing champ she kinda fails. The defining characteristic of a support champ is not the heal. Its buffs/disables. The heal is the extra stuff. IMO soraka CAN be played well, but in her current state shes just awful compared to other support.
Most healers come with some sort of alternative support as well. Sona's comes with auras and an Ult AoE stun. Taric is naturally a tank with good burst damage, auras and a stun, Janna (not a ult healer only, but has a shield) comes with crowd control and positioning control abilities as well. Thus the problem with Soraka, her "other stuff" is missing. I would compare her to Yi in terms of how they contribute to games. Soraka does 1 thing very well: heals...she doesn't do much else. Yi does 1 thing very well: DPS...he doesn't really do much else (unless you go AP)
I'm a noob but I had the wind chick in my lane last night while I was playing Pantheon. The mana regen was amazing and I was able to harrass with a fierceness. It was my best game all night and the player was great with her from what I could tell. Her huge cyclone knockup ability was awesome support.
I don't play her myself but my friend plays her, and to everyone who says all she does is heal is incorrect. Pro Sorakas are a nightmare to play against, especially with a coordinated team, yes her primary focus is healing, but built properly and managed properly she can do alot, 1 she has the longest range silence in the game and it last forever, her star fall drops magic resist of those hit, she has a magic resistance aura and her normal heal is also an armor buff, and my friend runs her with summoner heal, so ult+summoner heal can effectively restore most of the team 1/2 to 3/4 quarters of there hp in a pitched team battle. That being said my buddy is a good soraka,but there aren't many. I personally believe that peoples low opinion of her comes from the fact the many people don't put the time into soraka thats needed to actually do good with her. my 2 cents.
Zilean is the boss of supportz.

Middleborough is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 23,116 as of the 2010 census.[1]
For geographic and demographic information on the village of Middleborough Center, please see the article Middleborough Center, Massachusetts.
Middleborough is frequently written as Middleboro.
In the summer of 2007, Middleborough became the proposed location for a controversial future resort casino,[2] sponsored by the Wampanoag Tribe of Mashpee, Massachusetts.[3]
The town was first settled by Europeans in 1661 as Nemasket, later changed to Middlebury, and officially incorporated as Middleborough in 1669. The name Nemasket came from a Native American settlement along the small river that now bears the same name. Nemasket may have meant "place of fish", due to the large amount of herring that migrate up the river each spring. The name Middlebury was taken from a place in England, and changed to the more modern Middleborough.
During King Philip's War (1675–76), the town's entire populace took shelter within the confines of a fort constructed along the Nemasket River. The site is located behind the old junior high school (now a kindergarten), and is marked by a state historical commission marker along Route 105. Before long, the fort was abandoned and the population withdrew to the greater shelter of the Plymouth Colony; in their absence, the entire village was burned to the ground, and it would be several years before the town would be refounded. Western Middleborough broke away in 1853 and formed the town of Lakeville, taking with it the main access to the large freshwater lakes there, including Assawompset Pond.
Middleborough was once called the "shoe capital of the world". It is still home to the Alden Shoe Company, one of the last remaining shoe manufacturers in America.[4] Middleborough has since become the cranberry capital of the world, hosting the corporate headquarters of Ocean Spray Cranberries. Notable sights include the 1870s Victorian-style town hall, the Greek revival-style town library (1903), and in the spring, the Nemasket River Alewife and Blueback herring run upstream to the Assawompset Ponds complex to spawn.
In recent history, Middleborough has made its mark through the prowess of its Little League Baseball program. In 1994 the Middleborough All Stars reached the Little League World Series by defeating Milburn-Short Hills, New Jersey to take the East Region title. The team would finish 3rd in the United States. They are one of only two Massachusetts Little League teams to win the East title (Andover Little League, 1988) before the splitting of the New England and Mid-Atlantic Regions in 2001. In 1999, the team again won the Massachusetts State title and fell in the East Region final to Toms River, New Jersey - the eventual U.S. runner-up. Also in recent years the abandoned West Side School located on West End Avenue which had closed up in 1991 due to centralization of the Middleborough schools, was put on sale and was purchased by a family who currently uses it as their place of residence.
Since 2000, the team has reached the State semi-finals five times, finishing third in the state in 2000 and 2003, and second in 2002 and 2008. In 2012, they finished fourth in the state. The 2012 team was coached by Skeeter Porter and Ron Holmgren. The 2002 team was only beaten by U.S. runner-up, Jesse Burkett Little League of Worcester.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 72.2 square miles (186.9 km2), of which 69.1 square miles (178.9 km2) is land and 3.1 square miles (8.0 km2), or 4.27%, is water.[5] Middleborough is the second largest municipality in Massachusetts in terms of area, smaller only than Plymouth.
Middleborough lies on the western border of Plymouth County. It is bordered by Bridgewater and Halifax to the north, Plympton and Carver to the east, Wareham and Rochester to the south, and Lakeville, Taunton and Raynham to the west. Despite its name, Middleborough is not located anywhere near the other 11 "-boroughs" in the state, lying south and east of all of them. The town is approximately 15 miles (24 km) west of Plymouth, 30 miles (48 km) east of Providence, Rhode Island and 40 miles (64 km) south of Boston.
Middleborough's rivers and brooks feed in two directions. The Taunton River, Nemasket River and their tributaries flow southeastward as part of the Taunton River Watershed, which empties into Narragansett Bay. The other waterways of the town, including the Weweantic River, flow southward into Buzzards Bay. Along Middleborough's border with Lakeville lie the Assawompset, Pocksha and Great Quittacas ponds. Tispaquin Pond, Woods Pond, and several other ponds make up the town's other bodies of water. Middleborough has four wildlife management areas, as well as the Beaver Dam, Great Cedar and Little Cedar Swamps, the swamps being located in the north of town. The town is also the site of several cranberry bogs, especially in the southeastern part of town along the Carver town line. Ocean Spray's headquarters are just over the town line in Lakeville.
Interstate 495 runs through the town on its way to Cape Cod. The town is also crossed by U.S. Route 44, as well as Massachusetts routes 18, 28 and 105, as well as a short, 1,000-foot (300 m) section of Route 58 which passes through the southeast corner of town. Route 79's eastern terminus is on the town line at Route 105; the "Entering Middleborough" sign is barely fifty feet from the end of the road. Routes 18, 28 and 44 meet at a rotary adjacent to I-495 just west of the center of town. Two of I-495's four interchanges are located there. I-495's interchange with Route 24 is located just 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of the town line.
Since the 1840s Middleborough has served as a major rail transportation hub for southeastern Massachusetts, with at one time five rail lines radiating out from the town. Today three rail lines radiate from Middleborough, toward Boston, Taunton and Cape Cod. Two rail freight companies serve Middleborough: CSX Transportation, which serves the Boston, Taunton and a short portion of the Cape Cod lines; and the Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, which serves Cape Cod. The nearby Middleborough/Lakeville commuter rail station of the MBTA's commuter rail system provides frequent direct service to Boston's South Station. The nearest inter-city (Amtrak) passenger rail stations are Providence, Route 128 station in Westwood and Boston's South Station.
The nearest regional airports are Taunton Municipal Airport and Plymouth Municipal Airport; the nearest national and international airports are T. F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, and Logan International Airport in Boston. From 1954 to 1959, a small runway called North Middleboro Airpark was constructed. It was a 3,000 foot-long paved runway, although it was not depicted in the November 1954 Boston Sectional Chart. Sometime between 1982-1994 it was closed,as it was depicted simply as "Landing Strip" on the 1994 USGS topo map. A small field in South Middleborough is also used a place for recreational aircraft, but not for transportation.

Middleborough is represented in the Massachusetts House of Representatives as a part of three separate districts, the Tenth and Twelfth Bristol and Twelfth Plymouth. The town is represented in the Massachusetts Senate as a part of the First Plymouth and Bristol district, which also includes Berkley, Bridgewater, Carver, Dighton, Marion, Raynham, Taunton and Wareham.[17] The town is home to the Fourth Barracks of Troop D of the Massachusetts State Police.[18] On the national level, Middleborough is a part of Massachusetts's 9th congressional district, and is currently represented by William R. Keating.
Middleborough is governed by the open town meeting form of government, which is led by a town manager and a board of selectmen. The town's services are centralized downtown, with the fire and police headquarters being just to the north of the town hall, and the central post office being northwest of it. The town library is also located downtown.
A second part-time fire department is operated further south along Route 28 in South Middleboro. A third, temporary station was built in the 2000s as the surrogate home for the downtown facility, which was closed for substantial renovations. This third station, near the rotary north of the center of town, has subsequently been closed.
Middleborough has its own school system, headed by a school committee and superintendent. There is one school for kindergarten children, the Memorial Early Childhood Center, housed in the old junior high. It opened in September 2007 after a $13 million renovation. The Mary K. Goode Elementary and the Henry B. Burkland Elementary Schools serve grades 1 through 5. The John T. "Tiger" Nichols, Jr. Middle School (1999) serves grades 6 through 8, and the Middleborough High School serves grades 9 through 12. Middleborough High's mascot is the "Sachem", and their colors are black and orange. Other sports teams in town including the semi-pro football team the Middleborough Cobras and the middle school baseball team Tigers. The school's main rival is Carver High School.
Middleborough is also home to the Frederick L. Chamberlain School, a private institution that serves students from around the world struggling with learning disabilities.
Profanity ban controversy[edit]
On June 11, 2012, Middleborough made national headlines after residents approved an ordinance outlawing the use of profanity in public that is punishable by a $20 fine. It passed 183-50 in the town of over 23,000 residents.[19][20] Many legal experts say the law violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Dozens of residents on both sides of the issue attended a protest in front of the town hall. The Massachusetts attorney general will review the bylaw to determine if it is constitutional and adheres to state law.[21] The Massachusetts state director for the American Civil Liberties Union said, "the Supreme Court has ruled that the government can't prohibit public speech just because it contains profanity."[22][23] The town meeting actually took the previously EXISTING profanity ban and decriminalized it, making it a civil offense subject to a fine.

On October 1, Health Insurance Marketplaces, or health exchanges, created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care (PPACA) officially opened. These exchanges permit individuals and small businesses to compare prices and deductibles, and purchase policies. All of the plans on these exchanges cover certain essential health benefits, cover pre-existing conditions and provide for preventative care.
States were afforded the opportunity to establish their own exchanges if they met certain federal requirements. 36 states opted instead to let the federal government administer exchanges within their states. In 2014, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates 7 million people will sign up for individual coverage in and 2 million will sign up for coverage through a small business plan under the exchanges.
Review the Health Insurance Marketplace public website. Review the CMS background page on Health Insurance Marketplaces. CBO exchange participation estimates.

I read that and I have trouble wrapping my head around "Google guidelines" being law.
a) If you break the guidelines using their automated system the system needs fixing.
b) If you break the guidelines you can expect a ban but Google can't create criminal law out of thin air to serve its own purposes.
c) A judge is going to be harsh with Google for making it possible to do in the first place since Google controls the medium. "Fix your methods instead of wasting my time, I'm not the Google police".
This won't end well.

I ordered the pink set. It arrived in about a week. The pieces were very well packed; no damage whatsoever. My only "complaint" is that the two pieces are not the same shade of pink. Since they are supposed to be used together, one would expect them to match. For that reason, I gave it a 4 out of 5.

Summary (Masterplots II: British and Commonwealth Fiction Series)
Staring at the Sun is divided into three main sections, preceded by a very short preface. Section 1 is concerned with the life of Jean Serjeant from early childhood to her wartime marriage, ending with her appallingly unsuccessful honeymoon and loss of virginity. Section 2 appears to be directly consecutive but in fact skips over the twenty years of Jean's marriage in a few pages, beginning once more to be detailed when, in quick succession, Jean becomes pregnant late in life, makes up her mind to leave her husband, does so, has her baby, and then concentrates for a while on bringing up her son, Gregory. The most striking scenes of this section, however, are those in which Jean—by this time in late middle age—encounters a radical feminist named Rachel, who tries to enlighten or awaken Jean's deep-buried political sense and even to convert her to lesbianism. The section closes with the death of Uncle Leslie, whose strange and eccentric behavior has been a topic in the novel from the first few pages. Section 3 then very surprisingly moves on to the year 2020, by which time Jean is almost one hundred years old. In this section, the author, without losing sight of his previous concerns, naturally has to spend much time in imagining the future society of the next century, writing, in fact, a form of science fiction.
It will be seen that this novel takes great liberties with the handling of time. Other works have followed characters almost as long-lived or...

Would joint help be helpful with stiffness in shoulders due to arthritis?
Would joint help be helpful with stiffness in shoulders due to arthritis?
I have not used joint help, but if it does in fact live up to its anti inflammatory properties it should help a bit. Reduced inflammation will always make things better. To what extent I am not sure but it should help to a certain degree whether it is noticeable or not

I am on my 2nd jar of SNS Cissus XT and I have to say by the 6th week my knee pain is pretty much all gone
and my pain in my right bicep and shoulder are both feeling a lot better and I worked out with the pain but I
work around it and let the cissus do it's thing and SNS cissus is doing it's healing thing. I now have another brand
of quality cissus to use other than USP LABS and Primaforce and they all work well for me.
I like the combo of bulk Cissus and Celadrin. Sometimes also add topical Celadrin to a problem area. I need to cap up my Cissus stash...anyone have an idea of its shelf life???
Experimenting with serrapeptase at the moment. On day 2 and can already feel a reduction in inflammation..based on the fact I can breath through both nostrils which is a very rare for me. Knees and legs have been sore for weeks, perhaps due to excessive driving, but today they feel markedly better. Results are supposed to improve with long term use..we shall see.
I hear Celadrin does wonders. Reviews look nothing less than promising from what I've seen.Originally Posted by bioman
There's always the risk of placebo, but I've used it numerous times with the same effect...reduction of pain and stiffness in my joints. It adds the "lubrication" while Cissus does the additional healing and analgesia. Really curious about Joint Help though.
Thank you lolOriginally Posted by Clickster

A Great Cosmetic Dentist – I thought about getting some cosmetic dental work done for a while. After seeing my sister-in-law's brand new smile makeover done by Dr. Xu, I knew he would be the right cosmetic dentist for me. I can't believe how great the result is. I am really happy. I should have come to him earlier, so I could have this great smile for years by now.
The BEST Dentist Ever!! – I am SO GRATEFUL. I have been searching for years for an extremely competent, mercury-free, biological dentist, who is genuinely patient centered. Finally I found one. Dr. Xu and his staff are impeccable. They are helping me with my mercury poisoning and infected root canals. ....and if anyone goes to him and tells him that I recommended him (Linda Sherman), he will deduct $50.00 from your first visit.
No More phobia of dentist – Dr. Xu did a crown and several fillings for me. The whole experience was great. I felt relaxed and did not feel pain. Dr. Xu cured my phobia of dentists.
"Advanced Dental Care" really does CARE – Even though going to the dentist is not somthing most people like to do, I can say that the staff at Advanced Dental Care (A.D.C.) make a anxious experience seem pleasent.
Four years ago my girlfriend told me about A.D.C. and after my first visit, I knew I had found my new dentist.
The facility at A.D.C. is state of the art. With massaging chairs, digital T.V. and the most advanced dental equipment, this provider really cares about providing the best service possible to their patients.
Dr. Kevin Xu and his staff have a genuine concern for helping their patients feel relaxed, comfortable as well as providing expert dental care. The staff even worked with me financially in such a way that really showed they care. The name "Advanced Dental Care" sums it up, they really do CARE.
Kevin Anderson
High Quality Dental Office – The service and cleanliness is impeccable. I am scared of needles, but amazingly, I did not experience pain during the treatment. The fees are very reasonable too.
A great general and cosmetic dentist in Tacoma, WA – I highly recommend this practice to anyone. Dr. Xu is really a great dentist in Tacoma. I have been his patient for about 8 years. Dr. Xu listens to all my concerns. He always makes sure to give me the most cost effective treatment. I also had my cosmetic dental work done and the result is amazing. The office is very comfortable and high-tech, and the staff is outstanding.
Top dental office with great technology and service. – Dr.Xu has been my dentist in Tacoma for over 10 years now. The care and attention to my dental and insurance needs have earned my loyalty. I've recommended him to a couple friends and family and continue to do so highly. And the massage chairs in his office don't hurt either!
Great Smile Makeover – Dr. Xu provided a brand new smile to me. I am very happy and everyone loves it. The whole staff was very cheerful, respectful, helpful and kind to me. I hope Dr. Xu continues what he is doing because part of my success will be due to you, Dr. Xu!

One City is a RM3.6 billion integrated mixed development sprawling over 77 acres of freehold land located in USJ 25. The master plan includes shop-offices, office suites, retail lots, serviced apartments, corporate office, a shopping mall and hotels. It is located in the affluent township of UEP Subang Jaya.
One City Phase 1 project consists of 63 units of shop-offices with total built-up size of 7,040 sf with land size of 22′ × 80′. The units was sold for between RM1.6 million and RM3.2 million. One City Phase 2 comprises Sky Park, a 13-storey office block with a total of 222 boutique office suites with built-ups ranging from 975 sf up to 2,005 sf. It is sold with price tags starting from RM276,000 up to RM760,800.
Among the distinctive features of Phase 2 are 19 see-through elevators, 80′ × 460′ column-free Sky Walk, 63 double volume retail lots, 12 boutique seminar-cum-cinema hall, 120,000 sf Grand Sky Park, Glass Sky Bridge, 33 Garden Terraces and Sky Park Star Club. Besides that, another development in Phase 2 is a 1.5-storey shop-office. It comprises a total of 63 units with each of it has built-up sizes ranging from 1,065 sf to 3,120 sf. It is sold from RM720,000. Additionally, Skypark also includes a cinema and a hotel. Lastly for Phase 2, there is an upscale retail mall The Place and a serviced residence The Square Residence.
The last phase of One City, Phase 3, called MCT Mall which comprises serviced apartments, corporate offices, an auditorium, a shopping mall and a hotel. Hotel Eleven is also part of Phase 3 whereby this unique hotel features innovative electronic system that allows guests to book and check-in into the room, order food via room service and almost any request via online or SMS. Another development is called The Place, which consists of retail lots, entertainment outlets as well as 12 hall seminar rooms and an open terrace for gatherings and parties.
One City is dubbed to be a new benchmark in USJ, and set to become a self-contained commercial hub of the vicinity. It is superbly supported by residents nearby in Putra Heights, Puchong and Shah Alam which have craved for a bold and dynamic commercial development in the area. One of the determining success factors for One City is the access road and the relocation of the existing Hindu temple. The developer claims that a major revamp for the access route will be done where the traffic from USJ will be diverted into the vicinity of the development.

>It works if you have flash turned off, its only when flash is>enabled it fires once.>>The flash does work in the interval timer mode.>Huh!!!I didn't even know that the self timer had that option, but admittedly I never have used the self timer.Just tried it myself and you are correct that when the built in flash is deployed it only takes one shot. But I just mounted my SB-800 and it does work as expected, so it appears Nikon doesn't feel the built in is powerful enough for it to work as expected and disables multiple shooting with the self timer.Learn something new every day!!PeteEdited to add:When I tested it with the SB800 I was relatively close with a wide aperture and the flash fired every time. But I just retested insuring the flash needed to fire near full power and I only got two flashes for three exposures set, so it appears while the self timer interval works, there's no guarantee that there will be enough flash power.Interesting!!!!

Slot Differ from Electronic Bingo
Wind Creek Casino in Alabama, property of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, holds 1,600 electronic bingo games. Alabama has been notoriously known as one of those states with the philosophy that "if they look like slot machines and sound like slot machines, then they are probably slot machines."
However, though slot machines and electronic bingo games look very similar, there is a great difference between the two devices. Electronic bingo games are considered class II games. Traditional casino games like poker, blackjack, roulette, and slot machines are all class III games.
Poarch Band Tribal Chairman, Buford Rolin said, "We have a class II gaming facility at present, because that is what the law allows. The governor did visit us about eight weeks ago, and admired the hotel. I didn't push it."
Rolin is hoping that the tribe can negotiate some sort of compact or agreement with the Alabama governor allowing the tribe to usher in class III gaming.
"Hopefully in the future we can add those games," Rolin said.
"The not-too-distant future."
According to PCI Gaming, the company assisting the tribe in managing their new casino, the main difference between electronic bingo games and slot machines is that slot machines are independent. Players face off against slot machines in game of chance. On the other hand, with electronic bingo, the games are linked in groups by computers. This means players are competing against the computer and several other players. Although legally there is still much debate about the difference between slot machine and electronic bingo machines.

Distinction Projects
The distinction project should reflect the student's in-depth and independent exploration of a topic beyond regular course work; this project culminates in an oral seminar presentation to the mathematics/cs faculty and interested students. Topics explored in an independent study course, MA345, MA399 or in a summer research program may be eligible. The Distinction Committee for 2013-2014 is Fred Tinsley and Beth Malmskog.
A student wishing to qualify for distinction should:
1. Choose a faculty sponsor in the Mathematics Department. After consultation with the sponsor, the student must submit a brief outline (less than or equal to one page) of the project to the Committee on Distinction by the 9:00 AM on the first Monday of Block 4. We encourage students to initiate this process as soon as possible.
2. Turn in an abstract for your project by 3:00 PM on Monday of the first week of Block 7. You may consult with your sponsor or a member of the Distinction Committee about the precise length and form of an abstract.
3. Prepare a 20-minute oral presentation. Your preparation must include at least one formal practice run of your talk with your sponsor or a member of the distinction committee in attendance.
4. Give your oral presentation on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon of the third week of Block 7. All talks will be given on these two day with a celebratory banquet to follow.
5. Prepare a written summary of your project. This paper must be no longer than eight pages and no shorter than six pages. It is due to the Distinction Committee by 3:30 PM on Friday of Week 3 of Block 7. Again, you may consult your sponsor or a member of the Distinction Committee about the precise nature of the paper.
At the end of Block 7, the faculty discusses the student's overall performance and votes on whether or not to confer distinction. The following factors will be considered (in no particular order):
1. Work in the major: candidates for distinction should have an excellent record in mathematics and computer science courses, especially in upper level courses, and in the senior year.
2. Work outside the major: outstanding achievement outside the major is not required, but is certainly helpful.
3. Departmental involvement: Active involvement in the larger program of the department is helpful.
4. The Project: The project should reflect both depth of understanding, as well as some grasp of its larger context. The project should show the student's ability to work independently. The paper and seminar presentation will be judged both on content and on how well it reflects the larger project.

City of Bones is a fast moving Young Adult read with just enough action, romance, twists and turns to keep your interest to the last page.
Readers should be aware that it contains:
- profanity
- drinking
- non-gory violence/injuries/killing
- homosexuality (characters romantically interested in other characters of the same sex)
- lying in bed (clothed) with someone of the opposite sex
- kissing
- inappropriately placed romantic interest/attention
Due to the nature of the inappropriate romantic interest I can not be more specific without revealing a certain number of spoilers about the story. If you would like to know more, please use the button below to reveal the spoilers.

It's crucial that our offense is clicking because as far as we know, the defense will not save us. You can say they saved us last Saturday, but they shouldn't have scored that many points on us.
Birm, I'm talking offense here, but isn't Brandon Wimbush supposed to announce at the end of his season? When is St. Peter's Prep's last game?
Edit: Never mind, I didn't read the whole thing yet. I forgot Minkah Fitzpatrick was on the same team, so Wimbush ended up being mentioned.
Don't shoot the messenger, but apparently Lattimore is having an amazing time at Bama. Saying they're treating him right.
I know him and McMillan have talked on twitter. I wonder if they have discussed attending the same school. That could go really good for us or really bad for us. It's getting interesting as things go on and I'd like to see how it all plays out.

Illusion of Explanatory Depth
Posted on November 17, 2006 Comments (10)
The "Illusion of Explanatory Depth": How Much Do We Know About What We Know?
I wouldn't be surprised, however, if it turns out that the illusion of explanatory depth leads many researchers down the wrong path, because they think they understand something that lies outside of their expertise when they don't.
Great stuff. It took me a lot longer to stop asking why, why, why than most kids. I only gave up after years of repeated obvious clues that I was not suppose to ask why (once I aged past 5 or 8 or something – I actually have no idea when it is no longer desired). But most days I, curious cat, want to ask how does that work, why do we do that, why can't we… I just stop myself. But it does mean I asked myself and realized I don't really know. So I am at least more aware how little I really know, I think I am anyway.
The internet is a great thing. Google doesn't mind if you ask as many questions as you want.

Did Iggy Azalea just release the best music video of 2014?
Iggy Azalea channels her inner Alicia Silverstone in the Clueless-inspired, 90s extravaganza for her music video for her latest single "Fancy." The infectious single follows the underrated, should-have-been international smash "Change Your Life" which featured TI.
The Clueless tribute, which is already creating plenty of buzz, might just be the viral concept that will catapult Iggy to the success she's deserved for so long now. "Fancy" is the current single from the singer's upcoming release The New Classic, which is set to be released this summer.

Tory Lanez - Up (Fell in Love)
Artist: Tory Lanez
Producer: The MeKanics
Album: Conflicts of My Soul: The 416 Story
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 48 total votes )
With his last two features garnering an almost five star average rating, Tory Lanez has Boothies falling head over heels in love with his unique, diverse style; fitting the title of his latest effort is Up (Fell In Love). On the aforementioned pair of features, Hate Me On The Low and Fourteen & 40's, Lanez showcased his edgier side, but Up (Fell In Love) has a totally different vibe. Backed by a hazy beat from The MeKanics, full of stretched vocal samples, Lanez flexes his R&B muscles. With a sung-rapped flow, combining his edginess with soft touch, Lanez sings the praises of a girl he has officially fell in love with. He kicks it into another gear on the hook, belting out a powerful, strictly R&B chorus, which is so strong that it almost sounds like someone else; it isn't often you hear an artist who can sing as well as they rhyme. There is plenty to look forward to on the T-Dot native's forthcoming album, Conflicts of My Soul, due out this summer.
