TEAMS: New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers
Via Larry Brown Sports:
When word surfaced over the weekend that the Los Angeles Lakers were considering both Mike D'Antoni and Phil Jackson for their head-coaching vacancy after they fired Mike Brown, few of us believed D'Antoni had a legitimate shot. If Jackson wanted to return, it would be silly to think the Lakers would not love to have him. Apparently D'Antoni thought so as well.
On Monday, D'Antoni was asked if he thought the Zen Master was a lock to return when news surfaced that he was interested.
"Sure I did," he said according to the NY Daily News. "For sure I did. Didn't everybody? When I got the call that it was me, my first reaction was, 'Are you serious?'"
Jackson has built his Hall-of-Fame career around being able to handle superstars and massive egos. In New York, trying to juggle a roster that included Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire became too much for D'Antoni, so he walked away. He never imagined he would get the opportunity to return to a situation that was loaded with such talent as Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash.
"Sometimes you have to be lucky," D'Antoni said. "Lucky or even blessed. I look back over my career, just what I've been able to do so far, and feel like nobody has been more blessed than I've been. Now this happens and I look at myself and I really do say, 'Are you kidding me? I get to come back and coach these guys?'"
After hearing Jackson's side of the story (which you can read here), L.A.'s decision to hire D'Antoni instead of bringing back the 11-time NBA champion is even more puzzling. As we mentioned earlier, it's possible Jackson was trying to take advantage of a desperate situation with a lofty list of demands. D'Antoni would make more sense over the long term if he can handle the job. Once he gets over the shock of being chosen over one of the greatest coaches of all time, we're going to see whether or not that will be the case.
Well, He should not be shocked when he gets the boot after The first four games lost without signs of improvement......Next ? ? ?
He should be shock,he is nothing more then a middle of the road coach who proven he can lose but not win! For all those out there critizing Phil he has done nothing but win,if he wants a complete package of control he has earn it!

Microsoft gets bipartisan support
Even in an election year, Republicans and Democrats found one thing to agree on. Both have announced deals to use Microsoft as a key technology supplier for their upcoming national conventions.
The Republicans announced on Thursday that Microsoft will provide a range of technologies from setting up a volunteer management system to showing off its Surface computers, from which convention goers will be able to share photos.
"Microsoft stands as one of America's success stories, always at the leading edge of technology," convention President and CEO Maria Cino said in a statement. "Our goal has always … Read more
Democrats vote for Microsoft
If this year's Democratic convention does come down to a floor battle, Microsoft could end up being the real winner.
The Democratic National Convention Committee announced Monday that Microsoft will be the "official software and HD Web content provider" for the convention, which runs August 25-28 in Denver. The move is a vote of confidence for Silverlight, which is in a battle against incumbent Adobe Flash.
The software maker will power real-time online voting systems for delegates as well as live, gavel-to-gavel streaming coverage of the event at DemConvention.com.
"Silverlight multimedia applications will provide an … Read more
How green are green conferences?
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the vast waste of materials at the gargantuan Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Mobile phones frozen into buffet ice sculptures just scratch the surface of the showcase of an industry that thrives on planned obsolescence.
Three years ago, I'd asked the planners of CES about its waste management, receiving befuddled looks in return. But then I stopped worrying and learned to love my free CES vinyl laptop bag, stuffed with plasticky swag that will outlast the bones of any great-grandchildren I may ever have.Sure, there were e-waste recycling awards back … Read more
Lego fans must not go to Burning Man
If you're the kind of person for whom every year is centered around Burning Man, then there's a certain problem you have with the calendar: you can't go to other Labor Day weekend events.
Not that I would know anything about this, of course, because I only go to Burning Man some years, and it's only coincidence that it's happened 10 years in a row.
But anyway, I noticed today that there's going to be a great Lego fan festival in Washington, D.C., next year, called BrickFair. "Fantastic," I thought, as … Read more
At DigitalLife's press kickoff, everyone just wants to play 'Guitar Hero III'
On Tuesday night at an event space across the street from the Jacob Javits Convention Center, DigitalLife convention parent company Ziff Davis Media held its press kickoff event, but it might as well have been a Guitar Hero III party.
Members of the media could obtain their semi-coveted credentials; New York City technology commissioner Paul Cosgrave gave a brief talk officially designating September 24 to 30 as "Digital Technology Week"; and a set of "Hot Five" featured products--Trend Micro's Internet Security Pro, electronic music company M-Audio, the HD DVD Alliance, the Ford Sync voice-activated … Read more
Words, actions speak different shades of green
Reporters on the front lines of climate change ate locally grown food from biodegradable tableware at the annual Society of Environmental Journalists conference held at Stanford University last week .
Yet, they also boarded gas-guzzling, air-conditioned buses to tour Google's solar headquarters, green buildings in San Francisco and area ecosystems. The nonprofit Environmental Defense handed out folders about safeguarding the oceans. These came inside vinyl shoulder bags that stank of the same toxic chemicals that poison waterways. Most of some 900 attendees flew to the event in petroleum-powered planes to discuss how to report about imperiled ecosystems, from the big … Read more

Mavericks Can Be Fountain of Youth for Old Macs October 29, 2013 As someone with a reluctance to upgrade his hardware as often as Apple would appreciate, two aspects of OS X 10.9 Mavericks immediately caught my attention: its memory management and its battery-life enhancements. Mavericks makes a number of changes in power management that improve battery life substantially -- even on my old 2009 13-inch MacBook Air. |
Making Short Spark Videos Is No Fuss, No Muss October 28, 2013 Yet another video camera app? What gives? Can it really be that cool? To find out what Spark Camera brings to the world, I bought it -- and I was pleasantly surprised. First, the interface is super simple, clean and effective. To start recording, you just put any finger or thumb on the screen and hello, you're recording. Take your finger off the screen, and you stop recording. |
Scanner Radio Pro Helps Keep You in the Know October 25, 2013 Fire season is upon us here in Southern California, and due to the lack of rain earlier in the year, we're seeing critically low live fuel moisture. The amount of residual moisture in grasses and brush is at levels lower than we've seen in years. This means that those inhabiting the wildland-urban interface are on tenterhooks. That unease has many looking for tools to mitigate the danger. |
iPhone Teaches Mac a Thing or Two October 24, 2013 The Mac came first, but the iPhone and iPad are what rocketed Apple to the top of the consumer technology mountain. The thing is, while the iPhone is a great phone, the head-scratching success of Apple's mobile device sales is only partially due to the hardware and OS itself. Apple's success is all about how well Apple creates, connects and distributes its entire hardware and software ecosystem. |
Apple Plays the Free Card October 23, 2013 Apple threw down the gauntlet to the PC industry and aimed some veiled barbs at rival Microsoft at a Tuesday launch event to refresh its software and hardware lines.

The biggest buzz comes from Apple's brand new iPad, the iPad Air, which is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth-generation iPad that it replaces. |
Default Folder X Gives a Power Boost to Everyday Ops October 22, 2013 How many times a day do we open and save files on our Macs? The operations are so common, we don't think twice about doing them. Fortunately, the folks at St. Clair Software have cooked up an app to improve them. Default Folder X is available from the company's website for $34.95, although you can try it free for 30 days.

Launch Center Pro Delivers a Jolt of Speed in iOS 7 October 21, 2013 Like most gadget geeks, I get obsessed with the speed of things, the fast and snappy feel of a Mac, an OS, an app. After an upgrade to a new iPhone or Mac, my brain inevitably catches up to the speed boost and it feels as if I'm once again waiting for things to happen, waiting for apps to launch, for transitional graphic swooshes to do their thing. |

Cloud Mate Makes iCloud a Breeze October 15, 2013 For a company that prides itself on creating intuitive applications, Apple stumbled when it created iCloud. As a Dropbox user, I found little in iCloud that I needed. In fact, finding iCloud on a Mac can be adventurous, although it has a nasty habit of showing up as a default save location when I want to save a file from an app to my hard drive. Cloud Mate aims to take some of the mystery out of iCloud. It gathers up everything in your iCloud and displays it in a single Finder-like window. |
Dragon's Lair App Lets You Relive Dirk's Glory October 14, 2013 One of the amazing things about our new connected world of software development and easy access to consumers is how old-school games can find new life with entirely new audiences through iOS and OS X. Case in point? The Dragon's Lair 30th Anniversary app for iOS. Dragon's Lair is a really old arcade game. Seriously old, as in it was a laserdisc video game. I barely remember laserdiscs. |
All Things Appy: Top 5 Windows 8 Art Tools October 11, 2013 The touchscreens prevalent on vast numbers of laptops awaiting your hard-earned dollars in consumer electronics stores accommodate highly suitable new tools for creating art.

This week's All Things Appy takes a look at five must-have, free Windows 8 art apps. |
Brave Blustery Climes With WeatherPro in Tow October 11, 2013 I recently took a look at MeteoEarth, a rather spectacular Google Earth-like animated weather app. This visual, 3D globe-spinning weather app for Android provides zoom-in weather visualizations of the kind seen on TV -- and indeed, the publisher is a provider of weather-in-motion graphics to broadcasters. Well, MeteoEarth's visually stimulating show-off app has an all-rounder cousin, WeatherPro. |
KeyCue, Secret Spy Folder Fight the Good Fight October 08, 2013 Keyboard shortcuts can be a way to accelerate productivity, but their number can be overwhelming. The average OS X app alone has from 40 to 80 menu shortcuts. That's a lot of memorization for one program, let alone the multitude of programs an average user runs on a Mac. Wouldn't it be nice if, with a single key press, all the shortcuts for a program would pop up on your screen? |
Shadow Puppet Makes You the Narrator of Your Life October 07, 2013 Despite the nonperfect and confusing name, Shadow Puppet is the best new app I've seen in weeks. Basically, Shadow Puppet lets you select photos from your iPhone or iPad and then record audio as you talk over them in a slideshow that Shadow Puppet turns into a shareable video. Along the way, you can tap to highlight certain areas of a photo and, better still, you can zoom in and move the photo around. |
LiveHive Offers Plenty of Pros for Collaborators on the Go October 04, 2013 If you've ever been involved with any kind of work-related group project, you'll know what a nightmare it is to collaborate via email. The management of file versions alone is enough to introduce ambiguity and quickly hiccup the whole thing. Plus, if you're not careful, it's possible to start an entire email thread questioning what file version you're supposed to be looking at. |
All Things Appy: 5 Best Geo-Oriented Tracking Apps for iOS October 04, 2013 This week's All Things Appy takes a look at the five best, free geo-oriented apps for the iOS platform. To keep your costs down, we're concentrating on those tracking apps that don't require additional hardware, like sensors. Not all mobile Apple hardware products have GPS satellite location, which many of these apps require for best results. The iPod is one of those. |

Medical TreatmentThe doctor often prescribes rest or limited activity for several days followed by gradual increase in activity over the next few weeks. Strict bed rest is generally not advised because people with back pain have been shown to recover more quickly with normal activity as long as lifting, bending, and straining are limited. Treat with ice or cold packs early after an injury and switch to heat later. Heat may be used early if the pain and symptoms are not caused by a sudden injury. Physical therapy, exercise, and massage can be helpful if indicated (always check with your doctor before resuming any stressful activity). Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Slipped Disk

Home › Forums › News › Tech N9ne announces Seepage!
This topic contains 128 replies, has 75 voices, and was last updated by Sean (Petaluma Street Team) 2 years, 10 months ago.
So I was laying in my hotel room in Paris when Kaliko got the news that his best friend since childhood Chris Buckles just died awaiting a heart. While I was trying to act like I didn't see Kali breaking down , my aunt Susie called crying saying mom was back in the ward. So then that's when I went to my iPod to escape sadness. While going thru my playlist, I stumbled upon 5 paid for but unused beats from the K.O.D. collection. As much as I wanted to run from them, Seepage was born. To all the people that interview me, I would rather not talk about Seepage simply because I told fans on the Lost Scripts that those would be the last of K.O.D. I thought I could stay clear of K.O.D. but found out there's no way out totally. So until I can figure out how to balance this thing I'd rather not speak on it due my lack of understanding . Hope you enjoy it though! It's more anger than usual. Sorry n shit but thanx. TECH N9NE

Welcome to PAM! Our mission is to bring you the latest and best products from the make-up industry. With a lot of our team being working make-up artists we are constantly updating our stock so you will never be disappointed.
Professional makeup
Makeup artists who use supplies from PAM create makeup and prosthetics for film, TV, fashion photography and theatre. Creative professionals in high definition make-up and special effects makeup source their essential supplies from our online shop.
Film makeup
Film makeup differs from theatrical makeup technique. In film, a face must be painted to withstand the magnifying effects of a lens which may make it over 50 feet tall on a cinema screen. In a theatre, a face must have its features highlighted to help the actor convey as much expression as possible when the audience are seated far away.
TV makeup
The heat of television studio lights can cause shine which can be compensated for by using face powder that matches the skin tone of the subject. A makeup base should be applied ideally under the same TV lighting conditions that will be used in the studio.
Special effects makeup
This highly specialist field of makeup covers directly modelled special effects such as bruising, grazes and swollen tissue. Burns makeup, tears and deep wounds are all created by creative professionals supplied by Precious About Makeup.
Make Up For Ever
Precious About Makeup have an exclusive relationship with Make Up For Ever so you can buy Make Up For Ever products and have access to stunning cosmetics such as the HD Foundation that will leave your skin feeling soft and looking radiant.
You may also want to try the Mat Velvet for long- lasting, oil free foundation you can rely on. The Uplight luminizer is designed to give your face the glow and silky soft touch in an array of shades and effects including pearly and sparkling.

Its time for another product review post and this time its with some FANCY pens/pencils from my friends at Pentel, the Liberetto Pen + Pencil set. -- The Office Stylist
We're so inspired by the Graphic Motion Artist behind the Power of Pentel, Jackie Whisler we wanted to know how she did it. From start to finish, what were the steps she took to create the inspirational superheroes that we can all relate to? She shared some quick steps with us, which will hopefully inspire you to put pen or pencil to paper.
Have you ever had to deal with a furniture piece you ended up hating?
We sat down with the artist behind Power of Pentel , Jackie Whisler and learned how she gets inspired day-to-day. Whether it's through her hobbies, the comics she reads, the super power she'd love to have or her history with drawing we think that she'll inspire us all to find our inner super-hero.
Working on the go is something that's become a complete norm now with so many freelancers and telecommuters. Not every job requires travel but I'm talking about even the day to day of shuffling from meeting to meeting. I'd create a work on the go kit if I could OR you can just round up your own stuff and keep it together.

Aerosol physical and chemical properties and trace gas concentrations were measured during the QUEST field campaign in March–April, 2003, in Hyytiälä, Finland. Our aim was to understand the role of oxidation products of VOC's such as mono- and sesquiterpenes in atmospheric nucleation events. Particle chemical compositions were measured using the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer, and chemical compositions of aerosol samples collected with low-pressure impactors and a high volume sampler were analysed using a number of techniques. The results indicate that during and after new particle formation, all particles larger than 50 nm in diameter contained similar organic substances that are likely to be mono- and sesquiterpene oxidation products. The oxidation products identified in the high volume samples were shown to be mostly aldehydes. In order to study the composition of particles in the 10–50 nm range, we made use of Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer results. We found that during nucleation events, both 10 and 50 nm particle growth factors due to uptake of ethanol vapour correlate strongly with gas-phase monoterpene oxidation product (MTOP) concentrations, indicating that the organic constituents of particles smaller than 50 nm in diameter are at least partly similar to those of larger particles. We furthermore showed that particle growth rates during the nucleation events are correlated with the gas-phase MTOP concentrations. This indicates that VOC oxidation products may have a key role in determining the spatial and temporal features of the nucleation events. This conclusion was supported by our aircraft measurements of new 3–10 nm particle concentrations, which showed that the nucleation event on 28 March 2003, started at the ground layer, i.e. near the VOC source, and evolved together with the mixed layer. Furthermore, no new particle formation was detected upwind away from the forest, above the frozen Gulf of Bothnia. Citation: Laaksonen, A., Kulmala, M., O'Dowd, C.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Capital High volleyball team captured its first sectional title since the 2006 season a year ago, before falling in regional play.
The 2006 season is also the last time a Cougars' volleyball team played in the state tournament.
But things are looking up for the Cougars early on this season as they've jumped out to a 9-3 record, including a 3-2 win over host Herbert Hoover Thursday evening.
The Cougars earned the tough five set win by scores of 17-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-27 and 15-7.
"We had the fight in us tonight," said Capital fourth-year Coach Carolyn Taylor. "We switched things up a little bit tonight and that hurt us in the couple of games we lost. Serving hurt us a little tonight too. The games we lost tonight were the game we didn't serve well.
"But we have a really strong team. I feel like we're one of the top teams in the state and the talent on this team is one of the best.
"What they do on the court and whether they come together as a team is up to them match by match. They have the talent, but getting them to play together and talk is the key."
After dropping the opening set and falling behind early in the second set, the Cougars battled back and took their first lead at 21-20 before closing out the set.
Capital never trailed in the third set, before rallying from behind again in the fourth.
The Cougars took control of the fifth set early on and cruised to the finish line.

Art Tatum
Art Tatum
Art Tatum was among the most extraordinary of all jazz musicians, a pianist with wondrous technique who could not only play ridiculously rapid lines with both hands (his 1933 solo version of "Tiger Rag" sounds as if there were three pianists jamming together) but was harmonically 30 years ahead of his time; all pianists have to deal to a certain extent with Tatum's innovations in order to be taken seriously. Able to play stride, swing, and boogie-woogie with speed and complexity that could only previously be imagined, Tatum's quick reflexes and boundless imagination kept his improvisations filled with fresh (and sometimes futuristic) ideas that put him way ahead of his contemporaries.

Wake County parents are demanding answers after two children got on the wrong school vans and were taken to the wrong after-school daycare center Tuesday.
The students left Preeminent Charter School in Raleigh, but ended up at Kids Playworld in Raleigh. The students were dropped off shortly after 3 p.m. and were not located until around 8 p.m., when police reunited the boy and girl with their respective parents.
One of the kids usual van driver quickly took action when she realized 5-year-old daughter Ava Washington was not in her van.
"I was terrified," the driver said. "I immediately panicked and texted my director to let them know they couldn't locate Ava. I was out of my mind with worry."
Ava's mother, Lori Spivey, said she wants to know how the mix-up could have happened.
"It's upsetting," she said Wednesday.
While she is now safely back where she belongs and "happy" to be reunited with her mother, Ava said she as "just a little bit" scared.
Preeminent Charter School refused to do an on-camera interview, but released a statement saying it is investigating the incident. Kids Playworld also refused an interview.

Increasing Awareness of Emergency Contraception in Marginalized Communities in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
Council researchers are collaborating on a study to increase awareness about emergency contraception among marginalized communities in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
In September 2007, researchers from the Population Council in Mexico City and Salud y Desarrollo Comunitario de Ciudad Juarez/Federación Mexicana de Asociaciones Privadas (SEDAC/FEMAP) began an 18-month project in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to increase awareness of emergency contraception (EC) and promote its use among women in marginalized communities, vulnerable youth in school settings, and sex workers.
The project entails:
- the development of tailored informational materials and workshops for peer leaders (such as community-based health promoters and leaders of both youth and sex worker networks) to help them reach their respective target populations;
- well-planned strategic promotional activities with each of these three subgroups; and
- a possible knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey pending the availability of additional funding.
This EC work complements other research and technical cooperation by the Council that seeks to reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancy and foster the rights of women seeking access to needed reproductive health services throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

I mean what would really be wrong about American conservatives having their own country,out of the reach of liberal crooks,thieves and weirdo professors.Let the left set their own rules,taxes and regulations and leave everybody else alone.Even Ben Franklin knew the country was doomed if the takers exceeded the givers and that´s where we are.Even liberals that work in the private sector say taxes are necessary for "government services",a term that I hate.These people confiscate money through gas taxes and you´re lucky to see a road repaved every blue moon.
The propaganda technique used to advance the warming hoax is to trickle out a slightly alarming factoid every month and a half, or at a similar paced rate. Something plausible on the surface even if it does not stand up to close examination. The most recent one I´ve heard is that ice the size of the US has disappeared from the arctic. This would be difficult since the arctic (as defined by the arctic circle) is smaller than the US in area.
We fight to keep evil in check but the non-takers of America are losing.
I often remind the Chicken Littles that there is no indisputable, settled scientific fact. Science is constantly questioning what is known and seeking to disprove it. It is the essence of science to be skeptical (sceptical, for our friends in the UK).

DNA dating site predicts chemical romance
The first dating service to use lab-based genetic profiling launched online last week. Scientific Match promises to pair up people who will be physically attracted to each other because their DNA is different.
Well-matched couples will like each others' natural scents, have more fun in bed, and bear healthier children than those who are genetically similar, the company claims.
The service, available only in the Boston area, charges $1,995 for a year-long subscription.
"I strongly believe this will dominate the future of dating services," said founder Eric Holzle, a mechanical engineer.

Yes, mortgage interest rates remain near historic lows. True, there's a wide variety of inventory for sale to choose from. Granted, this is still, indisputably, a buyer's market. But for shoppers on a tight budget out there hunting for new construction, how much home can $200,000 — often considered the benchmark entry-level price — actually buy?
A lot more than you'd think, and certainly more than before the real estate bubble burst a few years ago.
For roughly the same price and square footage, today's new homes are better and offer greater built-in value than those built in 2007, says Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders.
"Despite the recession, building material manufacturers invested in research and development to improve the quality of roofing, insulation, flooring, exterior wall materials and other components," Melman said. "So materials used today are of a higher quality, and the performance of the house has improved."
There are also more aesthetic choices, "such as greater choices with countertops and wood flooring — for example, you can choose the type of (wood species), grain, stain and width of the planks," Melman said.
Compared to those in the same-size house built in 2007, the added features and characteristics in today's $200,000 home are an upgrade. But a lower price means compromising on size, as a $200,000 new-construction home in 2013 would offer an average footprint of 2,000 square feet or slightly smaller, said Melman.
Here's a sampling of new homes that can be had for about $200,000 throughout the Chicago area.
Far north suburbs. A $200,000 home requires a builder to do more with less and be creatively efficient with the layout. Case in point: The Charleston, a detached ranch offered at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge in Richmond, which includes two bedrooms, two baths, an eat-in kitchen, partial basement and two-car garage.
"This home has an excellent flow pattern with a center core living design," Roger Gerstad, president of Gerstad Builders in McHenry, said of the 1,650-square-foot house with a base price of $192,990. "The two bedrooms are split, left to right, for extra privacy. And the foyer opens to a wide hallway, where you can see the 18-by-22-foot great room and its cathedral ceiling. On one side of the foyer there's a study that can be converted to a third bedroom, and on the other side there's the kitchen/dinette."
Gerstad pointed out that new-construction homes in Illinois are required to comply with the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code and be 32 percent more energy-efficient than those built under the 2006 edition of the energy code.
Western suburbs. At Caledonia, a single-family home development in Yorkville, one of the most popular styles is the two-story, 1,930-square-foot Jamison, and for more reasons than its $201,100 base price (after a limited-time incentive of $10,000 off at closing is applied).
"All Caledonia homes are carpenter-built on site, with no prefab trusses. This allows us to easily semicustomize a home to satisfy our buyer's desires," said Rich Guerard, president of Wyndham Deerpoint Homes in Bartlett. "Our homes are also Energy Star-certified, to save you money on your utility bills."
Among the notable features in the three-bedroom, 21/2-bath Jamison are a great room, eat-in kitchen with designer cabinets, dinette, formal dining room, full unfinished basement, fully sodded front yard and professional landscaping package.
South suburbs. The Brentwood, a raised-ranch, single-family design, can be built at Butternut Ridge in Manhattan for a base price of $194,990. This three-bedroom, 13/4-bath, 2,000-square-foot home offers a living room with a vaulted ceiling, family room, two-story foyer, dinette and a two-car garage.
"The standard features we offer today, including custom maple cabinets in the kitchen and bath vanities, oak trim and doors, ceramic tile in the kitchen, foyer and baths, and cement driveways, were all upgrades in years past that buyers would pay extra for in this home, which was also previously priced higher," said Bryan Nooner, chairman of Distinctive Home Builders Ltd. in Orland Park. "Combine (the Brentwood's) selling price today with low interest rates available and, in most cases, you can buy this home and pay less than you would for rent in a comparable home in this area."
Southwest suburbs. If you're looking to make your dollar stretch, $200,000 can go just as far in an easy-upkeep town home as it can in a single-family house, as evidenced by floor plans like the Abbey at the Villas at Fox Run in Plainfield, which includes two baths, a great room, cathedral ceilings throughout, laundry and storage areas off the two-car attached garage, three-seasons veranda and 1,718 square feet — base-priced at $199,990.
The Abbey's dual master suites (one for the owner and one for guests, separated by a living room), both with walk-in closets, are popular, said Ember Ferrantino, marketing coordinator for Wilcox Communities, a builder/partner of Epcon Communities.
"We also get a lot of positive feedback on how ideal the kitchen is for entertaining, thanks to the breakfast bar and large, adjacent dining room," Ferrantino said.
Chicago. For those dreaming about a no-fuss city address near downtown hot spots, 200 grand can land you a modestly sized new condo unit in select locations. A good example is floor plan 11 at Related Midwest's Harbor View tower in the South Loop.
The 735-square-foot unit features one bedroom, one bath, a chef's kitchen that opens to a combined living/dining area, floor-to-ceiling windows, 9-foot ceilings and a balcony that faces west and reveals a skyline vista. The $208,000 base price also ensures solid-wood cabinetry, granite countertops and designer appliances in the kitchen, plus marble countertops, a soaking tub and natural-stone or porcelain-tile flooring in the master bath. Residents can also indulge in a private clubroom, outdoor pool, sun deck, fitness center and dog run.
Near-west suburbs. OK, maybe big-city living isn't your thing. You can enjoy a maintenance-free culture in a suburban condo instead, for less than you'd think. For instance, at Yorkbrook Place, a six-story building in Lombard, the move-in-ready Edison model can be claimed for $185,900. That gets you two bedrooms, two baths, living and dining rooms, eat-in kitchen with oak cabinets and designer appliances, balcony, 1,323 square feet, one indoor heated parking space and access to a private clubhouse with a kitchen, sauna and outdoor pool.
"The Edison is a great example of what buyers at this price point are looking for, whether it's a starter condo for the young buyer striking out on his or her own who wants to stay nearby or the downsizer who seeks a single-level lifestyle," said Leigh Nevers, director of sales and marketing for Hartz Homes in Woodridge. "Many live in single-family homes of this size and pay considerably more, without the added benefit of maintenance."

More Home, Less Nursing Advocates want to make nursing homes more comfortable and humane, with home-like amenities and resident-centered care. And they're looking to NFPA for leadership on the code changes that can help make it happen.
NFPA Journal®, January/February 2010
By Alan R. Earls
One size does not fit all. That's the message of a movement called "culture change," which aims to individualize the care and well being of nursing home residents across the country. Instead of two or more people to a room, with each room furnished almost identically, culture-change supporters seek rooms that are as individual as their inhabitants, with personal belongings treated not as threats to efficiency and care, but as key elements of residents' health and happiness. Rather than a single large dining area that serves uniform, institutional food, culture-change advocates envision smaller, more home-like eating and kitchen areas serving a greater variety of food, and that may even involve residents in the food preparation. Even the term "nursing home" is subject to a phase out in favor of names like care community or life center. Advocacy groups such as Pioneer Network and Society for the Advancement of Gerontological Environments (SAGE) hope to push culture change beyond the early adopters and into the mainstream, essentially reshaping the landscape of nursing home care.
Garden Spot Village in New Holland, Pennsylvania, for example, is a facility that closely mirrors the ideals of culture change. Instead of a large building with double loaded, long corridors, many elders now live in small groups within separate, self-contained "households," each with its own food preparation center. "The new facility has helped us to transform the culture," says CEO Steve Lindsey. "Our model used to be paternalistic, but now we push most decisions down to the residents and the people working with them."
Those changes may make for a more caring and comfortable living environment, but they can also conflict with the current provisions of the codes, especially NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, according to Robert Solomon, NFPA department manager for building and life safety codes. As a consequence, culture-change advocates are proposing a series of revisions to NFPA 101, including provisions that would allow smaller kitchens and more home-like appliances to be used rather than the larger industrial-style commercial cooking equipment; evaluating the means-of-egress requirements to reflect the use of the corridor as a gathering place by allowing functional furniture, such as chairs, in hallways; allowing wall decorations in resident rooms where the facilities are sprinklered; and allowing gas fireplaces within the facilities as long as they conform to the code's requirements for heat producing appliances.
While acknowledging the complexity of the code issues involved, Solomon lauds the goals of culture change. "In thinking about the kind of facility I would want my parent to be in, or where I might want to be someday, the culture-change vision is much more appealing than the typical institutional nursing home with two people in every room, regimented schedules, and limited activities" he says. "I believe the revisions that culture-change advocates seek in NFPA 101 can eventually be accomplished without compromising safety."
Culture change 101 Bonnie Kantor, executive director of Pioneer Network, describes culture change as an effort to move away from an institutional model and toward a more consumer-driven care model that embraces flexibility, self determination, and the wishes of elders and their families. "If I had to define culture change in one phrase, it would be that the person comes before the task," she says.
Pioneer Network began in 1997, when a small panel of professionals got together to advocate for person-centered care; the group quickly became the umbrella organization for the movement, and is one of the most prominent groups in the reform effort today. Kantor traces the start of the culture-change movement to the Nursing Home Reform Act included in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987. "Up until then, evaluation of nursing homes was based on a purely structural approach that looked at facilities and staffing," Kantor says. "OBRA shifted the focus to actual clinical outcomes and measures of quality of life."
To make culture change a reality, however, requires changes in the way nursing homes organize care in the physical environment, their modes of staffing, and the buildings and facilities they use—and that's where Kantor and others see a need to look at the influence of the Life Safety Code. She believes that in a growing number of cases, NFPA 101 may be having unintended consequences by constraining legitimate efforts to enhance resident quality of life. Solomon says this is not by design, but simply because a new model is emerging and the code needs to consider how that model will work while still maintaining the goals and objectives of the code.
This was one of the issues examined in detail at a symposium held in 2008. The event, "Creating Home in the Nursing Home: A National Symposium on Culture Change and the Environmental Requirements," co-sponsored by Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and Pioneer Network, allowed Solomon, representing NFPA, to hear about the goals of the culture-change movement. In turn, people involved in long-term care were able to hear from Solomon about the fire safety goals and objectives of the Life Safety Code. "I think they were surprised and impressed that NFPA has a technical committee dedicated to the health care occupancy environment," Solomon says. "They even applauded when I said that I was confident that the NFPA committees could figure out a way to use something other than the heavy-duty, industrial-style cooking equipment n these new types of facilities. That was a first."
Based on the process begun at that meeting, a task force was formed by Pioneer Network to study the code ramifications of culture change, and the group has submitted numerous proposals to NFPA for potential inclusion in the 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code.
Kantor says the effort to develop the proposals has emphasized consensus and a transparent, public process. "We are seeing this relationship as a growing one so that the submissions or proposals are ones that have, if not complete unanimity, at least broad support," she says. Meanwhile, last April, partly in response to the 2008 conference, the CMS issued new guidelines related to culture change and living environments. In particular, CMS mandated a new survey process that provides a more complete appraisal of quality-of-life initiatives "so that all nursing homes are being assessed consistently along these lines," says Kantor.
"While the culture-change movement is intended to create self-directed living environments and to empower residents and front-line staff, it is never intended to do so by making an unsafe environment," says Kantor. "So the safety element that NFPA is focused on is vital, and we would never advocate lowering those standards."
Growing impact Nursing homes are a $100 billion industry, and that figure promises to increase in coming years as the population of Americans 65 and older increases. In 2004 there were an estimated 36 million Americans over age 65, according to the American Health Care Association (AHCA), with that figure projected to grow to more than 63 million by 2025. AHCA data for 2006 indicates that the nation is served by about 15,800 nursing home facilities housing some 1.5 million residents, a number AHCA projects will grow to nearly 7 million by 2050.
Based on a recent study by the Commonwealth Fund, Kantor says she believes culture-change principles are now embraced wholly or in part by more than half of the nation's nursing homes. That support has yet to translate into substantial physical changes in nursing home facilities, Kantor adds; she estimates that only about 1 percent of new nursing home construction conforms to the tenets of culture change, while about 5 percent of facilities have made what she calls "substantive cultur- change transformations in organizational and physical environments." Kantor says aligning culture-change ideals with the Life Safety Code is a critical step forward, because it will provide what she describes as "certainty and clarity" to developers interested in building to culture-change standards.
Among the converted is Skip Gregory, bureau chief for the Office of Plans and Construction at the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and a member of the Pioneer Network Life Safety Code Task Force. Gregory says he combines his role as regulator with advocacy for culture change; when he returned from the 2008 Pioneer Network and CMS conference, he vowed that his office would not be an impediment to culture-change efforts.
Gregory says his organization had generally applied the Life Safety Code under the guidance of the state fire marshal and of the CMS at the federal level. However, after the conference, Gregory says he worked with Pioneer Network and with people from across the country to change Florida's building code regulations "so that we would not only permit this kind of design but make the household model the new minimum standard." The proposed changes made smaller, home-like facilities the standard to which new construction and rehabs would need to conform. However, notes Gregory, "If a site could not accommodate that kind of structure, we also provided for variances to allow a more traditional approach."
While the idea received support from the Florida Association of Homes and Services for the Aged, he was unable to sell the Florida Healthcare Association on it. The proposal was withdrawn. "Without support from both groups I knew it wouldn't succeed," he says. Gregory says he was surprised by the opposition because he was convinced his proposal left enough flexibility to address the concerns of nursing home operators. He suspects some operators feared that new culture-change-oriented facilities would pull customers from their existing nursing homes. "Although companies have learned how to make a profit despite big problems like staff turnover, this proposal represents something new," Gregory says. "They aren't sure they know how to make a profit under culture change."
But Gregory says culture-change efforts continue in Florida. "We have many architects who are trying to do this within the limits of NFPA 101," he says. His department has sponsored a competition at architectural schools across the country that is expected to yield ideas for turning traditional medical-model nursing facilities into culture-change facilities. "This coming spring there's another revision cycle for the state building code, and I fully expect to propose another set of revisions," he says.
Implementing culture-change principles can be challenging for architects, but the problem isn't just with the Life Safety Code, notes Vernon Feather, principal of SFCS, Inc., an architectural firm in Roanoke, Virginia, that specializes in nursing home designs. Regulations can be a slippery slope, he says. For instance, the requirement that nursing home kitchens use bulky and expensive commercial-style stoves doesn't always come from the Life Safety Code, Feather says; it can be a local requirement as well. "But once you've got a commercial range, NFPA 101 does require that you have a commercial-type hood," he adds. "Taken together, those things can be barriers to new designs and can raise costs."
Feather, who is also a member of the Pioneer Network Life Safety Code task force and chairman of the Kitchens and Cooking subcommittee, says those regulatory impediments can make it too easy to stick to the institutional-model status quo, which presents problems to many residents. "One of the keys to culture change is to normalize food service, because in the institutional food model, we see people losing weight and becoming detached from their environment," he says. By contrast, he says, giving people access to a kitchen can help them maintain the rhythms of their daily lives.
Thomas W. Jaeger, president of Jaeger & Associates, LLC, a Great Falls, Virginia, consultant to the nursing home industry, supports culture-change initiatives and believes the nursing home industry will eventually embrace the model. "They understand that their primary purpose is to improve the quality of life for residents, and that the institutional model may not do that," he says. In the same breath, however, Jaeger points out that health care facilities are the second-most-regulated facilities in the United States, right after nuclear power plants—meaning that a habitually cautious industry isn't likely to change overnight.
Still, change can happen, Jaeger says, citing recent responses to the H1N1 virus as an example. "The nursing home industry now allows infection control using alcohol-based hand rubs at every patient room door, which can amount to several gallons of flammable liquid along a hallway," he says. "But we are accepting that risk in order to better fight the greater risk of infection. When it comes to culture change, we don't want to open a Pandora's Box, but I think it is perfectly acceptable for a residential nursing home to accept a little more risk to improve the quality of life. We do it in our own homes every day."

Ah, sports. For millennia, sports have provided an outlet for mankind's competitive nature. Men and women have striven to defeat each other in races and games, in swimming and riding and jumping. Older even than art and science, sports provides the foundation for a great portion of modern society.
So why do so many TV shows about sports suck?
You'd think that the inherent drama of a sporting competition would be fertile ground for television, but in reality, very few shows have even attempted to use sports as their setting, and those that have frequently have failed, either on a critical level or on a popular level.
The current undisputed champion of the sports show is Friday Night Lights, which recently defied all odds and was renewed for a third season. Praised by critics, it has mostly been ignored by viewers who perhaps have been jaded by the middling sports shows of the past. Only by understanding how much better Friday Night Lights is than those shows, though, can you truly realize what an underrated gem we have on our hands.
In honor of Friday Night Lights, then, we now present our list of the top scripted sports shows in television history. Such as they are.

AURORA — As Rachelle Foos stood on the mound, a smile crossed her face as she delivered pitch after pitch in the sixth inning. It wasn't because she was happy with the score, not with her Dakota Ridge Lady Eagles on their way to an 8-1 loss to Legacy in the 5A state softball quarterfinals. No, it was because she wanted to savor her final moments on the high school diamond. "I (wanted) just to make the best of my last time on the field. That's what I was trying to do," Foos said as she choked back tears.
LAKEWOOD — Dakota Ridge head coach Ron Woitalewicz walked across the field at his own pace. So did Eagles volunteer assistant coach Jim Juliana. Just moments earlier, both coaches, arguing an illegal touching call that negated an Eagles' recovery of an onside kick at midfield, were ejected from the game in which Dakota Ridge lost 34-21 to Denver South on Oct. 18 at Jeffco Stadium.
Rachelle Foos knew the situation. The Dakota Ridge senior pitcher talked to her teammates prior to playing Chatfield in the 5A Region 3 tournament Oct. 12 at Dave Sanders Field at Clement Park. She told them that the Lady Chargers were going to hit and that they were going to score, but that Dakota Ridge needed to come out, in her words, "10 times harder."
Dakota Ridge did that with a workmanlike approach, and the Lady Eagles are headed back to the 5A state tournament for a third consecutive year following an 8-2 victory.
It went without saying that 2013 was going to be a challenging season for the Chatfield Lady Chargers. Last year's team rode Rebecka Mintz's pitching and Carlie Sexton's hitting to a 5A state tournament berth. But both of them graduated, and this year's squad had to fill those spots through a handful of players. With the perseverance Chatfield showed Oct. 12 at the 5A Region 3 softball tournament, the spots have been filled quite nicely.
Dakota Ridge cross country runner Cameron Mattson put into perspective quite clearly what the Eagles had to do Oct. 11 at Clement Park if they wanted to reclaim their position as the top boys team in the 5A Jeffco League.
"Sometimes you have to beat the other teams rather than each other," Mattson said. "Our overall goal is to beat the other team."
The 2013 5A state boys tennis championships saw a number of firsts. For Adam Rivera, he was the first Dakota Ridge player to qualify for state in eight years. For Columbine's Andy Wright, he was in the field as a singles player instead of as a doubles player. And for Chatfield, it was time for the Chargers to score a pair of third-place finishes at No. 1 singles and doubles en route to a fifth-place team run. The following vignettes highlight this year's tournament, held Oct. 10-12 at Denver's Gates Tennis Center, for nine local players.
PLAYOFF PAIRINGS The following are regional softball pairings for Oct. 12. The top two teams advance to the state tournament at Aurora Sports Park on Oct. 18-19. 5A REGION 3 FIRST ROUND DAVE SANDERS FIELD, COLUMBINE HS #28 Fruita Monument (11-8) at #5 Dakota Ridge (16-3), 10 a.m. #21 Greeley West (12-7) at #12 Chatfield (11-8), 10 a.m. CONSOLATION Fruita-Dakota Ridge loser vs. Chatfield-Greeley West loser, 12:15 p.m. CHAMPIONSHIP Fruita-Dakota Ridge winner vs. Chatfield-Greeley West winner, 12:15 p.m.
LAKEWOOD — The Dakota Ridge Eagles didn't have to look far to get motivated for their Oct. 4 football game with Green Mountain. Recent history told the Eagles they needed only to look across the field. Two years in a row the Rams escaped with wins over Dakota Ridge, with last year's game essentially costing the Eagles a 4A postseason berth. But the Eagles won't have to concern themselves with that in 2013.
HIGHLANDS RANCH — The last time Andy Wright went to the 5A state boys tennis tournament he was playing No. 2 doubles. This year, the Columbine senior is going by his lonesome. Wright, Columbine's No. 2 singles player, will be the Rebels' only representative at state after he placed second at the 5A Region 5 tournament on Oct. 3 at the Lebsock Tennis Center at Redstone Park. He won three of four matches, including a playback match against Mitch McGregor of Heritage 6-4, 6-3.
By Craig Harper For the Courier AURORA — Michael Tait and Columbine won't lack motivation for the 2014 season. Tait's junior season didn't end quite as well as he had hoped with a tie for 17th place at the 5A state boys golf championships Oct. 1 at the par-72 Murphy Creek Golf Course. Tait shot 74-76 — 150 and improved both his place (tie for 20th) and score (157) from his sophomore year, but conceded, "I'm not too satisfied with this tournament. It's kind of disappointing."

ETFO and the School Effectiveness Framework (SEF)
This year the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat (LNS) released the new "School Effectiveness Framework". The framework provides guidelines for schools and districts to perform school self-assessments, review individual school growth plans and develop plans to address areas of need. It has two components:
The LNS has stated in the framework document that the process is not designed to be a performance appraisal tool nor is it designed to evaluate teachers, principals or any other staff members.
Although the LNS have identified this as a pilot year, participation was mandatory for all schools and all district school boards.

"I've worked for guys like Hal Mumme, who [felt that] when you worked you worked and when you were done you went home. Bob Stoops is like that and Mike Leach worked for him before he came to [Texas] Tech. Kevin Sumlin worked for [Stoops] and then went to Houston. Mike Gundy's a family guy and likes to go home.
"Everybody that I've worked for are guys who do it like that. And like I said, it can be counterproductive if you stay in there for 14 hours. If you go in there and you know what you're doing and you have confidence in what you're doing, you go in and work for eight to 10 to 12 [hours] and you can get it done. If it takes 14, 16 or 18, then you'd better stay.''
Holgorsen touched on a variety of subjects Friday during a 30-minute session with reporters, among them:
Holgorsen wasn't involved in the suspension and said now he has to get caught up on Wright's situation, including where he's at academically and legally.
"And then I've got three little kids running around here that I'm trying to keep up with, as well,'' Holgorsen said of his own three children.
"I expect both of them to be ready come Aug. 4,'' Holgorsen said. "How they can do [in camp] isn't going to be what they were before they got hurt due to the fact that they aren't 100 percent between now and Aug. 4. But the good news is we don't play Aug. 4. We play Sept. 4. So we'll get those guys in and evaluate where they're at. If they're fine they'll start and if they aren't then they won't start.''
