please search before posting deals to avoid reposts of reposted reposts of terrible deals
thanks |
I'm surprise with all the hate, worst case you return to get a refund, paypal should take care most of it... in a good case you get a great ipad.... apple currently sell this version for 400 + tax... for me personally it's a 140 dollars saving to take a chance, which IMO isn't that bad, there's been multiple threads on slickdeals on this website regarding refurb tablets, and it's definitely got it's share of goods and bads, I actually purchase some stuff from them before, shipping is always late but the product was fine.
I know i'm a newbe on here but after reading most of the comment about Daily Steals and their products one hour after i ordered the Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi + 3G Verizon for $299 i got a little skeptical and even called my bank to see if i could cancel the order. I just got the Apple iPad 2 in the mail today from daily Steals, it came very fast and it looks and work perfect. That's a relieve for that worry to be over.
waiting for jail breaking of 6.0.1 any days now... but so far so good... saved quite a bit on this one . Last edited by warlock110; 12-07-2012 at 11:38 PM.. |

Gold has a long and fascinating history of use in a diverse range of industries and applications. The future will see gold being used in a multitude of new products and processes.
But gold's many valuable properties mean that its technological applications are all around us, right now.
Gold's role in technology
Where is gold actually used in technology? Take a stroll through our interactive town to understand where gold is used to bring performance and efficiency improvements to modern life and where it will be used increasingly in the future.
Gold is used by the automotive industry in catalytic convertors. Nanoparticles of gold alloyed with other precious metals are effective in reducing harmful emissions from the engine exhaust.
Gold wires the internet. It is the material of choice in numerous electronic applications, especially telecommunications, information technology and other high performance and safety critical applications. The single largest industrial application for gold.
Gold and health have been linked for many thousands of years, but in modern dentistry, precise surgery, rapidly diagnosing disease, and treating serious conditions gold plays a key role in modern medicine.
At the cutting edge of science, gold nanoparticles have already found practical use in a range of fields. Diagnostic devices for pregnancy and salmonella rely on their unusual optical properties. Gold is proving to be an important catalytic material, with numerous industrial processes benefitting from its unique reactivity.
Gold's reflectivity, conductivity and corrosion resistance have played a vital role in space exploration for decades. Its efficiency as a reflector of heat and infra-red radiation has been invaluable in numerous NASA undertakings.
Engineers must specify gold in a number of high-tech applications. It can be used a a lubricating material, as a coating on architectural glass, in fuel cells, jet engines, the list goes on:

MFK Dinamo Moskva are through to their fourth UEFA Futsal Cup final after an assured display against Italy's Marca Futsal.
Fernandinho broke the deadlock before the man that made that goal, Romulo, doubled the lead early in the second half and scored again at the death. Marca were always a danger but will end their debut campaign in Sunday's third-place play-off before Dinamo face FC Barcelona or Sporting Clube de Portugal five years after their previous tournament win.
Dinamo dominated the early stages backed by an impressive following in Lleida but Marca had the first clear chance with Jonas Pinto forcing Aleksei Popov to palm away. However, Fernandinho then twice went close in quick succession and soon after broke the deadlock, sliding the ball past Gabriel Miraglia from Romulo's pass.
Miraglia had to be alert when Marca called a time-out with an attacking kick-in, only for Nando to intercept, run the length of the pitch and make the Italian champions' goalkeeper save. Popov himself was being forced into action more, not least by Duarte following a fine counterattacking dribble by Papù. Baptistella, like Adriano Foglia a winner last year with ASD Città di Montesilvano C/5 – who Marca knocked out in the elite round – also came close.
Marca kept up the pressure at the start of the second half, Wilhelm's strike stinging Popov's palms. But it was soon 2-0 to Dinamo as Vinicius found Romulo on the right and he cut in before unleashing a strong finish.
Jeffe only just missed as Marca continued to press, but a Dinamo squad containing five former UEFA Futsal Cup winners were not giving way easily, though fellow ex-champion Baptistella did hit Popov's right-hand post.
At the other end Tatù drew a Miraglia diving stop while for Marca, Foglia and Pinto kept Popov busy. If anything, though, Dinamo had the better of the late stages as their fans cheered them towards their first final since winning in Murcia five years ago and with Duarte on as a flying goalkeeper, man of the match Romulo shot into an empty net.

A is for America: An American Alphabet by Devin Scillian with illustrations by Pam Carroll
Devin Scillian dedicates his book to "Mom, who taught me to love books, and Dad, who taught me to love my country." For parents who want to do the same for their children, A is for America is a fine start.
In this abecedarian volume, children are introduced to the Liberty Bell, Bunker Hill, Chicago and Charlotte, Denver and Dallas, and fireworks on the Fourth of July, as well as Hershey Bars, Holiday Inns, and Huckleberry Finn—all seen in Pam Carroll's colorful full-spread paintings.
Most of Scillian's rhymes do tend to emphasize what is extraordinary about America. "I is indeed important, how America came to be. It's the idea that an individual can insist on being free." With "J," "If not for Thomas Jefferson, where would we be today?" While "Abraham Lincoln gets all of L. It's elementary you see. He held us all together and at the same time set us free." Further on, we also meet Mickey Mantle, Norman Rockwell, Rosa Parks, and "Ulysses S. Grant in his Union uniform." Even difficult letters succeed with "Q" for John Hancock's quill and "X" to remind us of Election Day. Best of all, each letter includes a sidebar with additional facts on the subjects named. The book closes with the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" and a detailed account of how it was written.
John Adams wrote that "children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom." A is for America is one way to put them on the right track.
—John B. Kienker

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Tax hikes
How can Gov. Deval Patrick have the audacity to ask for all the raises in taxes when there is so much welfare abuse going on in this state? He calls it a leakage. I think the dam has broken and we are getting swamped. We, the middle class are sick and tired of being asked to dig deep in our pockets to pay more and more when there is so much abuse going on in this state. We keep electing those to office who doing nothing but think of ways to make us pay, when they turn blind eyes to what is really going on behind closed doors. Enough is enough. The people of this state should get in touch with their representatives and voice their concerns.
I thought there had been a law passed that commercial ads were to lower the volume to the same level as the TV program? You could've fooled me! But that's OK, I mute all commercials anyway. I just wish that I wouldn't be sent flying out of my chair when an ad pops up on the Internet unexpectedly. Commercialism has totally consumed our lives. I am sticking to reading books — paper pages, that is! There are no screaming ads in a book.
I just heard a blip about the president putting in his own bill for immigration reform. It mentions employers doing verification. This has been the law for many years. And we have our own governor who does not believe in enforcing the immigration laws to the point of wanting to allow illegal immigrants to get drivers licenses and pay in-state tuition at state schools. Are they not public officials who take an oath to uphold the laws of this state and country?
Back to sports
Good-bye, Glenn Ordway. Good-bye, WEEI. The station is changing from sports radio to a "girly" format. I tuned in to another station after getting fed up with the new format. Interviewing women getting off the subway and asking them why they did not have Valentine's Day flowers. Get back to sports and get rid of your cheap talk interviewers or find some new listeners. Bring back Glenn.
Start fresh
Most of Methuen is hoping that any settlement talks with Chief Solomon require his departure. Let's be done with this once and for all. This man has cost Methuen too much money and it's reputation. Time to start fresh. I will support any settlement talks that rids us of this man.
I want to thank the wonderful couple who helped me when I fell down Monday at the Elm Plaza in Plaistow. I was so nervous that I don't think I properly thanked them. Thank you both so much for stopping to help me get up. I truly appreciate your kindness.
I was just reading about Beth Reuter, the custodian in Methuen. How can they have her working among children when she was in the mall parking lot buying drugs with her kids in the car with her? Please Superintendent Judith Scannell, do the right thing. Fire her.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - Criminal charges pending in Yavapai County accuse 11 county jail inmates of participating in a scheme to defraud federal taxpayers by filing false claims for income tax refunds.
Authorities say the inmates expected to net hundreds of thousands of dollars from the scheme allegedly involving both inmates in custody as well as at least one person on the outside.
According to The Daily Courier, the refunds were to be placed on disposable and untraceable debit cards.
Court records indicate a grand jury issued an indictment in January. It accuses the alleged ringleader of 126 counts of forgery and other crimes.
The case is pending in Yavapai County Superior Court.

excellent all around game by the blazers!!!
I thought it was awesome that batum drilled the 3 at the buzzer for his triple double, im so sick of that stupid unspoken rule not to shoot the last shot when you're ahead. fans pay to see the whole game, if you dont want to play d to the end you deserve a shot in your face. BATUUUM-SHAKALAKA
Posted 11/03/2013 7:13 AM
Love me some home cookin'!
Kerry Eggers writes that Portland's home victory last night over San Antonio, was the 13th home opening win in a row for the Blazers...only one shy of Boston's record of 14 ('79-'92).
Lopez looked better last night, and I can't help but wonder if the guy is just trying to identify his role with this team. Confidence with the ball has been noticeably absent in the first two games, almost playing "hot potato" on the catch. Last night though was different. Lopez seemed to gain confidence as the game grew older, even backing down his defender to turn and score off the window. On several occasions, he filled the lane too, with his hands up and ready for the catch...a sign he WANTED the ball. A high percentage opportunity was the result each and every time, and the big man cashed in. Defensively, as many have commented, he has looked serviceable in Portland's first two contests. Again, I saw improvement here as well last night. His feet were right and, as a result, he wasn't caught out of position very often, if at all...a lesson for Leonard. Lopez bothered shots and was a force not recorded on any stat sheet in his team out shooting their opponent, 56%-50...something of a rarity for a Spurs opponent.
Re Batum's buzzer-beating tre...Not mentioned in any of the press I have read, the fact that that was a very low percentage shot, his body language even in taking it didn't indicate he cared much. If a player chooses to lower their own FG% at the end of a contest by throwing a prayer at the backboard...that is NEVER news and happens all the time. Nick's just happened to go in. We all know Batum's personality better than those outside this market. I agree with stacks...good for Nic. I did see his buddy Parker say something to him immediately after. Would love to know what that was.
Great win. 2-1 overall, and batting .500 on the road...a mark that distinguishes good teams from the rest. Here is to continued success on the road, and an ongoing defense of home court!
Posted 11/03/2013 7:38 AM
REFRESHING...Portland shot 17-19 from the charity stripe, numbers indicative of a team in attack mode and not just settling for jumpers. The Spurs went only 5-8.
Stotts has shown some creativity in getting his team high percentage looks, while not having a tradional post threat/back-to-the basket big or, a player capable of breaking opposition's defense down with the bounce creating opportunities at the rack for himself or others (save Lillard). Three times at the start of last nights game, Portland lobbed the ball at the rim for a catch-and-shoot. Very uncharacteristic.

Posted 11/03/2013 9:19 PM
Really great win. I'm with BDawg! I'm sooooooo happy that we were getting to the free throw line and converting. If you look at the stats, that's where we won the game. Hopefully we can do something similar against Houston. They certainly have a better front court than the Spurs but I think that the effort shown by everyone in a blazer uniform will get us over the line against the Rockets. Lillard is far better than Lin and Beverly and with our better bench, we can afford to let Matthews play extended minutes guarding Harden without compromising our offense or defense when he has to rest. Batum, Wright and Coaver all have the length to bother Harden and Parsons so I think we can force Houston to defer to Howard who will run into Rolo in the lane and LA on the other end. 2 wins at home against Western conference contenders would really be a great way to start.
Go Blazers!!!!
Posted 11/03/2013 9:56 PM
i was loving nico at the point forward playing pick and roll with lopez. we literally have 4-5 effective pick and roll combos on the court with our starting line up now.
Posted 11/04/2013 9:31 PM
I agree fully. Using the pick n roll with different combinations makes us really dangerous especially against teams which play with 2 traditional big men. And coach Stotts stated during last year that most SF don't really have to defend a ball handler in the pick n roll and that's something we can use to our advantage and create mismatches.
LA and Lillard can run a pick n roll or switch it up and run a pick n pop. Nic gives us that option as well and both Lillard and Batum can also shoot the ball coming off screens. Oh and I nearly forgot about Mo Williams who can also give us that extra scoring option. Would it not also be great if Lillard and Batum would run a pick n roll combination? We see something similar with Lebron n Wade and Lebron and everybody else on the Heat roster. It really gives them an added weapon because of his new and improved outside shot. Something similar really fits well with our players because they are really good shooters and that makes the pick n roll a lethal weapon because teams can't over help and must double team at their own peril.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Patent demands are taking a big toll on technology companies, with results that range from forcing companies to tweak their products to exiting their business altogether, according to a study from the Santa Clara University School of Law.
The study underscores the increasing difficulty of dealing with patent claims. Patents have become a major part of business strategy, with companies like Apple
The SCU report, "Best Practices in Patent Litigation Survey," focuses on patent demands from companies that do not themselves make anything. The report calls them "patent assertion entities."
Many detractors call them "patent trolls."
While PAEs have a bad reputation among technology firms, many patent litigants who do not make products or develop technology think of themselves in a better light. Many of them represent inventors, sometimes university researchers, who cannot afford to defend patents on their own.
Colleen Chien, an assistant professor of law at SCU, surveyed 116 in-house counsels, largely representing technology companies with more than $100 million in annual revenue.
More than 90 percent reported that patent claims from PAEs had affected them financially or distracted from their core businesses.
More than 80 percent said their customers had received PAE demands because the customers used or implemented products that were accused of violating a patent, and almost 40 percent said the claim had resulted in a change to the product.
About one-quarter of the companies surveyed said claims from PAEs lost them revenue or customers, or caused a delay reaching an operational milestone. About 12 percent said they had to tweak their business strategy as a result of a claim.
Around 8 percent said claims had caused them to delay hiring, or to exit a business line or business altogether.

Burger Bash 2013 | Pictures Our 7 Favorite Burgers at Burger Bash by Nicole Perry 2/23/13 7 Reactions 22 Shares Print 10 2 10 0 0 How do you pick a favorite older brother? That's kind of how it feels to choose a winning burger between the likes of Morimoto, Bobby Flay, and Michael Symon at Burger Bash. As Rachael Ray promised, this year's event had the most competing patties of any Burger Bash — 34, to be exact — and festivalgoers were obliged to make a Sophie's choice of sorts to pick the winner. We didn't get around to trying all 30-plus burgers, so we can't confidently say that one was best. Attendees seemed to have a favorite — Bobby Flay took home the People's Choice Award and Jeff Mauro the Judges' Choice Award — but we did select seven burgers to showcase as our favorites of the night. Read on to get inspired — and hungry. Start B Spot Burgers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: French Onion Burger — caramelized onion, crispy onion, bacon, gruyère and horseradish cheese sauce, shasha and mustard sauce. Served with: Sweet and sour pickles. How it stacked up: More than anything, we fell hard for the plump sweet and sour pickles, which unlike many of their pickled brethren were neither too sweet nor too sour, and were a nice foil for the decadent cheese-sauce-laden burger. The burger itself was spicy, creamy, and well executed, though it posed some problems in its consumption. We overcame the messy feat by keeping ample napkins at the ready. 1 / 7 Burger & Barrel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: B&B Bash Burger — caramelized onion and bacon jam, shaved pickles, American cheese, secret sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. Served with: Rosemary garlic parmesan tater tots. How it stacked up: Perfect in an elemental way, this burger was hardly revolutionary, but it was a strong example of a classic Americana staple done right. 2 / 7 Guy's Burger Joint What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: Guy's Pressed Chili Cheeseburger — ground beef, all-beef chili, cheddar cheese, thin-sliced dill pickles, bacon, donkey sauce, crispy sourdough shell, and spicy Sriracha ranch and ketchup. Served with: A watermelon jello shot. How it stacked up: The crispy sourdough shell was interesting and a nice texture — conceptually it reminded us of a beef-and-chili-filled Smucker's Uncrustables on steroids, but thinner and crunchier. All of the components were well balanced (though there was a lot going on), but while we enjoyed it quite a bit, we didn't feel that it was worth the 30-minute-plus wait in line. 3 / 7 Landmarc What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: The Big Smoke Burger — all-beef patty, smoked aioli, pepper jack cheese, sweet pickles, and smoky slaw on a homemade jalapeño-sweet potato bun. Served with: Spiced matchstick fries and chipotle ketchup. How it stacked up: When we first bit into this subtly smoky stunner we knew it would be one of our top five favorites, even though we tried it early in the night. And while the burger was a tough act to follow, we were even more smitten with the well-browned matchstick fries and their subtly spicy tangy ketchup — it nearly even converted the ketchup-naysayer on our team. The fries were a hair soft, which we attributed to the inescapable Miami humidity, as this was a problem across the board when chip or fry sides were included. 4 / 7 Red Robin Gourmet Burgers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: Korean Kalbi BBQ Burger — pickled cucumbers and cabbage on a Korean BBQ glazed beef patty served between a brioche bun. How it stacked up: We almost skipped this offering from the winner of Red Robin's culinary scholarship program to conserve space for those with a more prestigious pedigree, but we were thrilled to find it was worth a bite and then some. This sleeper hit was one of the farthest departures from a traditional burger in a fantastic way. It truly embodied kalbi, the Korean BBQ staple, with its sweet and tangy marinade and refreshingly tart pickles. It's safe to say we'll be stopping by Red Robin to try another once it hits their menu. 6 / 7 Shake Shack What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: Heritage HAMburger — hamburger with griddled heritage ham, American cheese, and pickled green tomatoes. Served with: Banana bourbon caramel custard. How it stacked up: Classic, simple, but exceptionally well done, this burger takes studied technique and marries it with high-quality but nonfussy ingredients for a platonically ideal burger. Additionally, the custard was one of the few things we ate in whole, despite being stuffed to the gills. Creamy, sweet, but not overpoweringly so, and with just a hint of bourbon to round out the caramelized banana, it was a perfect counterpoint to the salty burger. 6 / 7 The Butterfly What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The burger: The White Label Burger — dry-aged beef, bacon marmalade, McClure's pickles, and white American cheese. Served with: Cacio e pepe tater tots. How it stacked up: This much-lauded beefy burger lived up to its praise, but it was the cheesy and piquant tater tots that were the real star, largely thanks to the perfect textural contrast between their crisp outer shell and tender innards. 7 / 7 10 2 10 0 0 Back to Homepage Read More SOBEWFFBurger Bash SOBEWFF Ruth Reichl Forsees the Future of Food 7 hours ago Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Is Inspired by History — Not Trends 2 days ago The Fabulous, Famous Chef Friends of Rachael Ray 4 days ago Steak and Bone Marrow, Marc Forgione's Way 1 week ago What Jeff Mauro Would Be the King of If Not For Sandwiches 1 week ago Paula Deen: Then and Now 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Arizona Daily Star: Endorsement: Paton is right pick to tackle budget, debt
The biggest challenge facing the federal government is to get spending and debt under control without eviscerating Social Security, Medicare and other safety nets.
For too long members of Congress have dodged difficult decisions or refused to listen to people with other views.
Based on Republican Jonathan Paton's history in the Arizona Legislature, we believe he will be accessible to all constituents - and won't shut the door the first time they disagree.
We also trust he will be willing to make hard, unpopular decisions that the budget crisis demands.
We don't favor change for its own sake, but in a race like District 1 where both major-party candidates are well-versed on the issues, sending a newcomer to Washington, D.C., is justified.
For those reasons, Paton is our choice to represent the district.
It's this last point about change that swings our endorsement to Paton instead of his Democratic opponent, Ann Kirkpatrick.
She served one term, from 2008 to 2010, when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate and yet devised no long-term plans to get spending under control.
That isn't to say we agree with all of Paton's positions, such as his pledge to Grover Norquist for no new taxes. He should re-evaluate that decision because a thoughtful politician doesn't say "no, never" to any possible solution.
However, we admire his record of bringing to light issues others would rather minimize or view as too complex. For example, we share his views that government must be more transparent and accountable. He championed exactly that in the Legislature when the state child-welfare agency failed to protect children from abuse.
He stood up for children with no political voice and created purposeful change. Thoughtful leadership always challenges the status quo to produce solutions.
Jonathan Paton is the best choice to represent the district and to help set federal spending priorities that reduce the debt and still protect the most vulnerable.
District 1 is huge, stretching from Oro Valley, north through Flagstaff to the Utah border and east to New Mexico. It includes the Navajo and Hopi reservations.
Arizona Republic: Paton has right temperament
We endorsed Ann Kirkpatrick for Congress in 2008 and 2010, so it goes without saying we were favorably inclined her way when she showed up for our interview with Congressional District 1 candidates.
However, candidate interviews can sometimes throw curve balls, and this one left us bewildered.
For an hour, Kirkpatrick ridiculed, belittled, cut off and scolded her opponent in a manner that exceeded rudeness. We have seen more complete meltdowns in our board meetings but never one so unexpected.
Kirkpatrick has always seemed the even-tempered embodiment of rural Arizona, someone who lived the life and talked the talk. So, it was jarring to see her unbounded contempt for opponent Jonathan Paton.
She accused him of dissembling and pandering, attacks that executed with finesse would have been acceptable in a heated campaign. But the slashing nature of her put-downs only framed Paton's cool composure.
He calmly defended his record and made his most difficult case that someone who was only recently an outsider could represent the district and its concerns. Kirkpatrick called him a carpetbagger. Paton responded that the district already knows Kirkpatrick and wants him. To back that up, Paton touted his endorsements from mayors and council members throughout the district, from places like Marana, Taylor, Show Low, Safford and Globe.
Asked what she learned from losing her congressional seat in 2010, Kirkpatrick whiffed. The 62-year-old Flagstaff Democrat said she lost because Republicans were winning just about everything that cycle. That left Paton to fill in the blanks, and he did, arguing that her votes on the Obama health-care overhaul and economic stimulus sent her packing.
Paton is a 41-year-old establishment Republican who lost his own attempt in 2010 to capture then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' seat. An Army reservist and Iraq War veteran, he served in the state House and Senate from 2005 to 2010. The great achievement of his legislative career was working with Rep. Kirk Adams to impose reforms on Child Protective Services, making the agency more transparent.
Paton is a jobs hawk who supports the development of the Resolution Copper mine, which could bring thousands of jobs to rural Arizona. In that way, he is not unlike Kirkpatrick. What sets them apart is composure. She lost hers during a significant test for this endorsement. He did not.
The Arizona Republic recommends voters choose Jonathan Paton in the newly drawn District 1.
Tucson Weekly: CD 1 Air War: Kirkpatrick Levels BS Claim Against Paton on Rio Nuevo
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 10:00 AM
We've seen plenty of BS in congressional races this year, with our favorite being the Big Lie that Democrats cut more than $700 billion from Medicare. That one has been debunked repeatedly by FactCheck.org and PolitiFact, although that didn't stop Mitt Romney from using it again in this week's presidential debate.
Now it's Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick who is leveling phony claims against Republican Jonathan Paton in the race for Congressional District 1, which includes Oro Valley, Marana, much of rural eastern Arizona and Flagstaff.
Kirkpatrick's latest TV ad, which you can see above, accuses Paton of wasting more than $200 million while serving on the Rio Nuevo Board.
The narrator in the ad says that Paton "served on the Rio Nuevo and wasted $200 million of taxpayers' money. Now it's under criminal investigation and could cost us another $72 million."
Rio Nuevo has a long and troubled history, but if you want to claim that $200 million was wasted, you have to acknowledge that the money was wasted when the city of Tucson and the original Rio Nuevo Board were in charge of the downtown revitalization project. Paton called for audits of that spending while serving in the Arizona Legislature and pushed to see a new board formed that stripped control from the city of Tucson.
By the time Paton joined the new Rio Nuevo Board following his resignation from the state Senate to pursue an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2010, the Rio Nuevo Board members had stopped spending money on almost anything besides audits and attorneys.
Regarding the criminal investigation: It's our understanding that the FBI has been assisting the Arizona Attorney General's Office with looking into what happened with spending before the new board was created. That investigation has dragged on a long time without any criminal charges being filed. The charge that Paton's activities are under criminal investigation doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
You can be critical of the reformed Rio Nuevo board that Paton joined for filing lawsuits instead of pushing forward with repairs to the Tucson Convention Center, but accusing him of being part of the group that wasted hundreds of millions of dollars is simply false.

Alan Thicke Will Star in Queen for a Day Musical, Inspired by Vintage Reality Show
By Kenneth Jones
Queen for a Day: The Musical, inspired by the radio and TV reality show of yesteryear, will get its world premiere in a 12-performance run in Toronto starting Sept. 26. TV's Alan Thicke ("Growing Pains") will star as "iconic TV personality" Jack Bailey. Queen for a Day features an all-Canadian cast and creative team, with music and lyrics by Linda Barnett and book by Chris Earle, Shari Hollett, Paul O'Sullivan with additional dialogue by director Timothy French. Performances will play Sept. 26-Oct. 7 at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Arts. Based on the popular reality show "Queen for a Day," which originated in 1945 and aired on radio and television for 20 years, "the Broadway-style musical comedy will take audiences back to the fun and glamour of Hollywood in the 1950s," according to producers. It "takes place in the Hollywood of 1953, where fortunes can change in a heartbeat." On the program, Bailey interviewed several ordinary women who shared their tales of hardship and need. The audience selected the winner, who received prizes ranging from life's necessities to luxuries. The "queen" was place on a throne, costumed and handed flowers. It's widely considered an offensive relic from the pre-modern feminism era. According to production notes, "The outgoing and independent Claribel Anderson (Blythe Wilson, of Mary Poppins, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music) and her fellow waitress Lana (Marisa McIntyre, of Mamma Mia!) find themselves at the glitzy Moulin Rouge Theatre, where 'Queen for a Day' airs live daily. Claribel's 15 minutes of fame send her down a funny and touching road, forcing her to re-evaluate her dream of being the perfect '50s housewife." April 30th Entertainment is producing the show. Thicke will appear in 10 of the 12 performances. Thicke's musical theatre credits include Chicago (Broadway debut) and Promises, Promises and Mame at the Hollywood Bowl. Producer Jeffrey Latimer said in a statement, "The women of the '50s and '60s loved Jack Bailey and I know that audiences this September will fall in love with Alan Thicke." Latimer and producer Natalie Bartello said the production, which has been in development for several years, has a cast of 22 and a live orchestra. The weave of the show is further described this way: "Reliving her glory days, Old Claribel (Stratford Festival veteran Denise Fergusson) reflects on her encounters with people from her past. She amuses Felicia (Camille Eanga-Selenge) with tales of Birdie (Lisa Horner), a scheming waitress at Scully's Diner; Esther (Angela Teek., of Rock of Ages), a contestant who hopes to win leg braces for her son with polio; her attractive and immature husband Ned (Jay Davis, of Jesus Christ Superstar, Miss Saigon); up and coming 'Queen for a Day' producer Dwight (Cory O'Brien, of Mary Poppins, Cabaret); and her chauvinistic boss Scully (Sheldon Bergstrom, of The Sound of Music, The Producers, Guys and Dolls)." Alan Thicke is scheduled to perform Sept. 26-30 and Oct 3, 6 & 7. Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts is at 10268 Yonge Street in Toronto. Performances will play Wednesday at 2 PM, Thursday-Sunday at 8 PM, Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM. Tickets are $35-$59.50.

The dresses on the Milan and Paris runways are shining with the metallic color.
Zac Posen, Thakoon, and Halston all showed off fur footwear.
This season's runways proved that a grown-up girl could use some sparkle and still look divine.
This is at once genius and ridiculous.
Everyone from Derek Lam to Nanette Lepore showed fall's fringe benefits.
Leather may have taken an early lead dominating the runways this week, but as we reach day eight, it's clear that things have softened up.
Ruffian, Catherine Malandrino, and Behnaz Sarafpour bring hair to new heights.
Fall's fur-heavy fashions will surely have PETA reaching for the red paint.
The no-makeup makeup look showed up at Rag & Bone, BCBG Max Azria, and Yigal Azrouël.
No need to thread, wax, and tweeze them anymore; the trend now is to bleach, cover up, or shave 'em off.
Designers update the just-out-of-bed look.
Hair has taken cues from Heidi this season. Think Swiss Alps, not Klum.
Cutouts are nothing new, but this season, they're in places most women would rather not bare.
This spring, hair is slicked back with heaping amounts of gel.
The sunny shade is appearing on everything from blouses to belts.

Comments about GoPro Battery BacPac:
This is a great accessory to have with a gopro. It doubles the life of your camera but it does make it bigger and heavier. I personally like the LCD Bacpac but for riding sleds when this is on my helmet, this is what I will use. Also, when this is in use, the floaty back door does not float it. So just beware that it will sink.

What is "Authentic" Assessment? (Transcript)
Whitney: The School of the Future is a six through twelve public school in District Two in New York City. It's located on the corner of 22nd Street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
John: I have to usually answer why it's called "School of the Future." Half the people think we beam people up to the Star Trek Enterprise. But actually what I say is that School of the Future, although originally was named for Macintosh computers, my partner and I feel that School of the Future now is a spearhead of progressive education that is rigorous and accountable.
Stacy: And we're continuing to be a progressive school, but also to figure out how we are folding in assessment and folding in accountability. I think what makes authentic assessment authentic is that it's actually the kind of work that a person in that discipline would do. A science authentic assessment would challenge the kids to do the same kind of task that a scientist would actually do.
Esther: We're trying to give work that either mirrors what they might be doing later in life, or will prepare them for those kind of tasks, or is simply meaningful to them.
Andy: In terms of authentic work within the school, it needs to be something that the student really cares about, and that the teacher really cares about. So if we want a school where it's just really making real change and really addressing students in their hearts, then we can't have curriculum that is just going through the motions.
Whitney: And then the other piece is that making sure the task is a synthesis type of task. That will ensure the critical thinking necessary to feel that rigor is happening.
Mike: I think of authentic assessment as a window into the true understanding of the student.
Whitney: It makes teaching much more efficient. You think that it takes all this time, but in fact it's far more targeted and efficient, and it really speeds things up.
Mike: I think first about what are the big ideas I want them to come away with. Some may argue that's curriculum, but I think it's even more fundamental than curriculum. What are the big things I want the students to be able to walk away with?
Whitney: The key is asking yourself, "How will I know?" And ask that upfront as you're doing backwards planning. What does that learning look like? What does it sound like? What would I be hearing? What would I be seeing on paper? And then based on that, creating whatever assessment tool works best for you.
Mike: When you're starting to plan your curriculum, start with-- all right. What are the three assessments then? The three big ones that I'm going to see whether or not they got these skills, and then you can start think of smaller assessments on their way. They're little check-ins. And then designing the activities that go along with does this activity that I normally do, does it address what I really want them to understand?
Andy: I've been teaching now for about 13 years, and a lot of educational fads have come and gone. But one that I believe is hopefully here with us to stay is precisely this question of how do we know they got it? Before, sometimes it felt like if we taught a great lesson and the students were nodding a lot, and maybe writing in their notebooks, we felt good. But now we have to find out did they actually understand the material we were teaching them? Are they connecting this to their own intellectual interests? Is it authentic for them? Was there real learning that happened there? And I think we're getting better at doing that as teachers. I think we're getting better at doing that.

Recently getting a lot of crazy traffic from Ask.com's crawlers moving at 20+ requests per second. Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
Our robots.txt contains the crawl-delay directive (set to 1), which according to the Ask.com FAQ pages is supported by their crawler. I can see that it requested robots.txt, but it's clear that it is ignoring the crawl delay.
For example, one if the crawlers is as follows:
Domain: crawler9077.ask.com
User agent: Teoma/Nutch-1.0 (Question and Answer Search; firstname.lastname@example.com)
On the 24th of September, there were over 20 instances where the crawler hit our servers at a rate of between 33 and 38 times per second. We had over 100 instances where this crawler hit us at over 20 times per second.
In total, this crawler hit us 4958 times between 03:49:51 and 03:53:41 on the 24th of September, which works out to an average of 20 requests per second.
This is not the only crawler from ask.com that has behaved in such a fashion.
On the 23rd of September IP 220.127.116.11 (crawler9075.ask.com, same useragent as the other crawler) queried us 5010 times between the hours of 23:36:12 and 23:39:29, which works out to a rough average of 27 times per second.
In fact, every single day for the last week or two we get Ask.com crawlers coming in and spidering the site at insane speeds such as this. One of the most recent ones was 18.104.22.168 (crawler9073.ask.com), which hit us 4833 times on the 28th of September between 00:18:33 and 00:22:54.
I've tried emailing email@example.com (which is in the useragent), but got no response, and then I tried contacting ask.com using their on-line forms (also no response).
Anyone have any suggestions on what's happening here, or who I could contact?

We're an ecom, and our value proposition is NOT focussed on price (needless to say, that is still important).
We have a lot of information, we have unboxing videos, UGC reviews (purchaser and Pro reviewer only). We have product selectors.
We have a broad product range, but a small % makes up the vast majority of sales.
Now, we have funnels. Funnels are subject to statistical variance but suprisingly stable net outcomes. To be clear, the number of visitors starting each funnel, and the rate of completion for that funnel, varies enormously. But the total number of transactions (the sum over tunnels) is much more stable.
Occasionally, we get odd referral patterns, where a higher number of users come in on certain products than expected. There is a corresponding drop in expected volume against other products. Multiple products occur in both the plu and minus camp, all gradually but similtanueously. We call this a referral shift. It is NOT zombie traffic, because it follows expected funnel behaviour.
Zombie traffic is non-conforming traffic. It shows up on products, often counter-cyclically to the referral shift. So, if the Group A products are down on normal traffic, there will be some degree of Zombie traffic filling in.
But zombies do not confine themselves to voids in normal traffic, they roam around on the rest of our products.
They are quite often foreign, always appear real from User-Agent perspective, and just refuse to engage with the site. Bounce is high (single page request, no exit click), pageviews are low.
Re: Traffic Shaping- we took a revenue hit when a low value product got national press. All the extra referrals canabalised existing referrals. We couldn't pin down the mechanism, but then we've focussed on "What is ranking for [term]" rather than "Where are we ranking for [term]"
The reason I mentioned our value prop and other stuff is because we recognise we have different types of visitors.
We have bouncers that are price checking, and we're not it. We have info-seekers, but they engage with a non-transactional element at a given rate. Neither of these are what I mean by zombies, and I just wanted to be clear that we already filter them out.

Thief Makes Off with Huge Haul from Local PharmacyGASTONIA, N.C. - It was only an hour after closing when a brazen criminal broke into Akers Pharmacy in Gastonia on Thursday. Surveillance cameras caught him as he busted the glass front door. He was only inside for about 60 seconds and seemed to know what he was looking for. The police report indicates that $80,000 worth of prescription drugs were taken. The pharmacy owner, Ron Holland, tells FOX Charlotte the thief stole opioids, specifically, hydrocodone and oxycodone. In fact, he got away with more than half of the pharmacy's supply. The CDC says prescription drug abuse is an epidemic. It is the fastest growing drug problem in the country. And, more people overdose on opioids than heroin and cocaine combined. Holland says insurance will help with some of the recovery costs. The pharmacy's front door has already been repaired with stronger, break-resistant glass. It will be open for business as usual Monday morning. Security cameras caught different angles of the thief and police may have an idea of who he is. Detectives are still investigating. Most Popular

The Red Sox fell to the Indians 8-3 Thursday night, dropping them to 12-19 on the season.
While Josh Beckett got off to a fast start, striking out Johnny Damon on three pitches to lead off what would be a scoreless first, things fell apart for him with one out and an 0-2 count to Shin-Soo Choo. Losing the strike zone, Beckett walked Choo, gave up a double and sacrifice fly, and then saw no. 9 hitter Jack Hannahan take him deep to right field for the 3-0 lead.
The Sox would grab a run back in the bottom of the second, but by the time the top of the third was over all hope for a win was lost. Beckett would give up another home run to Travis Hafner to lead off the inning, and then allowed three more runs to come around and score before he was yanked unceremoniously from the game for Andrew Miller.
The Sox bullpen was up to the task of holding down the fort, only allowing an eighth run in the ninth inning, but the offense could not cash in on its opportunities to get back in the fight. Ryan Sweeney grounded out with the bases loaded in the fourth to squander one opportunity, and after going deep to right in the seventh, Dustin Pedroia popped out on what would have been ball four in the eighth.
Old Friends: Derek Lowe was in good shape tonight, getting twelve outs on the ground in six innings as he returned to Fenway Park. Johnny Damon was not, going 1-for-5 with his only hit a pop-up that barely made it past the mound. If the Sox had to lose tonight, I'm sure that Boston fans are glad they lost because of Lowe and not Damon.
Nick Hagadone also made an appearance, closing out the ninth in short order. He was part of the 2009 trade for Victor Martinez, going to the Indians along with Justin Masterson and Bryan Price.
Lowest Point: At 12-19, the Red Sox are now seven games below .500--the furthest from even they've been all season. It's hard to remember that, just a few short series back, they were actually gunning for a winning record.
Relief: For all the problems the pen put the Sox through early on, they've really rounded into form over the last few weeks. It's almost to the point where you'd rather have the likes of Andrew Miller starting the game in long relief rather than the current rotation.

Read Robert Bender's limericks based on his experience on the Earthwatch expedition Freshwater Turtles of the Kimberley.
Veteran Earthwatcher Robert Bender brought a touch of creativity out into the field while participating in the Freshwater Turtles of the Kimberley expedition earlier this year - his 18th Earthwatch expedition! LET THE LIMERICKS BEGIN! The short-necks have eye-streak that's red, And some have an extra-large head. When the turtle's well-fed The streak looks like red-lead. Reptiles ugly? Never let it be said! Such a handsome gray turtle, none finer; Of two species, he's senior, not minor. Lugged to camp in a bag, His hind foot gets a tag; To its pool then returns Chelodina. Take the length and the width of its shell It's a turtling technique we learn well. With calipers we Quickly measure all three- The carapace, plastron, and skull. The immature turtles are cute, So tiny's each marginal scute; With their baby webbed feet Yawning stretches look sweet; 'Bout their beauty there's sure no dispute. Along graded roads all corrugated Though rusty old gates antiquated We are heading towards More lumpy grass swards Which as sleep sites are very low-rated. Wrens twitter, of day giving warning; The lily pond smooth, early morning. Something raises its head, Ripple circles then spread; Crescent moon overhead at the dawning. Snorkeling fast-flowing Bell Creek, Under pandanus curtains we peek. There may be a croc Or, lying prone on a rock, There might be the turtles we seek. Little turtles they duck and they weave As we chase them and try to retrieve. They dive into murk Where to find them's hard work And their speed is just hard to believe! From captivity turtles release So their longing for water might cease; They've been pierced upside down, Turned around and around, Now of freedom they get a new lease. A Kimberley rose by the road Was well into flowering mode; Not a leaf on the tree But, delightful to see, Each branch with a pink floral load. Our turtling is now at an end; Snork'ling's yielded a large dividend. The last turtle's been filed, Final records compiled- Now homeward to Melbourne we wend. A stop to see Wandjina art At Mowanjum Community mart. Bodies yellow and white Were filmed dancing at night; Elders tell of their Wandjina heart.

Tyrell Clock was the top finisher for Hotchkiss at Saturday's Anna Banana cross country meet. Clock finished the 5000-meter course in 17 minutes, 58.3 seconds to place 33rd.
Clock's time was a new personal record for the junior. Teammates Bryce Home (18:36.7), Zack Allen (18:46.9) and Andrew Oviedo (22:22.2) also set new personal records.
The Anna Banana run is one of the more popular races on the Western Slope, and this year's field of runners was one of the most competitive in the race's 11-year history. Jake Erickson of Palisade set a new course record of 15:48.20 for the win.
The Hotchkiss girls' cross country team placed three runners in the top 10 and scored 59 points to win the meet at Connected Lakes State Park.
Natalie Anderson finished the 5000-meter course in 19 minutes, 7.2 seconds to place second behind Eva Lou Edwards of Bayfield, who claimed her second consecutive Anna Banana title with a time of 18:22.30. Edwards set the course record of 17:41.3 in 2012.
Jennifer Celis finished fifth in 19:28, and Mae Anderson finished in 19:52 to place ninth. Sophia Schelle placed 28th with a time of 20:56, and Katy Parsons placed 31st out of 84 runners with a time of 21:00.2. Celis, Mae Anderson and Parsons all set new personal best times, and Natalie Anderson and Schelle ran their best time of the season.
Fourteen teams and 84 runners competed in the women's division. Grand Junction High School placed second with 77 points.
The Anna Banana race is held in memory of Anna Lee Janowitz, a Fruita Monument High School student and star cross country runner who, just prior to the start of her junior year in 2002, was killed in a car wreck.
Hotchkiss will travel to Aspen this Saturday to compete in the Chris Severy Invitational.

Previously, we took a look at the wide receiver and running back positions, and both are areas I felt the team excelled in. Now we come to the other big piece of the offense: the tight ends.
As fans of the 49ers, we've actually been a little spoiled when it comes to the tight end position. When Mike Singletary was in town, I truly feel that we almost lost Vernon Davis, and his career would have been done right there. He was bad, and there's no other word for it. I wanted him released.
But one of the few things Singletary was able to do positively was change Davis, and nothing anybody could ever say will make me believe it was someone other than Singletary's doing. It was a massive turn around, and Davis has become one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
We've also had Delanie Walker for awhile, so yes, we've been a little spoiled. But the position could be changing in 2013, whether we like it or not. Let's do a quick review of the players last season and take a look ahead after that, shall we?
Vernon Davis
Davis entered the 2012 season as the most reliable receiver on the team, but that all went out the window when Michael Crabtree finally decided to come into his own and start lighting up the NFL.
While he was doing that, Davis was ... doing nothing. More accurately, he was blocking. Davis didn't go out to pass as much as he has in recent years, and didn't really come into his own until the second half of the season.
That's not because he couldn't, or anything like that, the 49ers just kept him in to block an awful lot. Pro Football Focus rated him as their No. 9 tight end in the NFL, and that's with Davis only having been targeted 56 times. For reference, Jimmy Graham, who came in at No. 10, was targeted 131 times.
In all, Davis caught 41 of those 56 targets, which is pretty darn good. Unfortunately, some of those misses were due to his reluctance when it comes to laying out for big throws. He won't dive for a pass and there's times when he doesn't even extend fully.
However, we're at that point where we take the bad with the good. Nearing the end of the season, Davis made several very clutch catches and had some big games. I'd be shocked if he didn't put up huge numbers next year.
Delanie Walker
I hate to say it, but Walker was just ... not great last year. He's always been that guy who creates odd mismatches, and he's always been able to produce at a pretty consistent level. But his problems with drops have gotten worse and worse.
It's a weird anomaly too, because he catches some very tough balls. He makes some pretty great sideline grabs and can make things happen when he's covered by two different guys. And yet, he'll go out there and drop wide open passes, one right after another.
It wouldn't be as big a deal if it didn't happen in just about every game. It's getting worse, and I'm not sure what the problem is.
For a positive ,Walker has really, seriously matured as a blocker. He's become insanely effective as a run blocker, and that's not just using the measuring stick of how bad he used to be at it. He's right up there with the best run blocking tight ends in the NFL, especially when he gets to pick up speed.
Pro Football Focus gave him a 10.7 rating for his run blocking, which was among the highest of all tight ends, just below Matt Spaeth in Chicago. They gave him a 2.1 for his pass blocking, which is respectable. But he earned a NEGATIVE for his pass-catching at -5.7.
Garrett Celek
I honestly don't know how to feel about Garrett Celek. Is he a blocking tight end, or is he a receiving tight end? Does he do anything remarkably or is he average? Do the 49ers have him on the roster because Jim Harbaugh sees some big play potential or did they just need another body?
He didn't do much last season, other than a flash or two here or there. There's really not much to go on from this guy but who knows going forward?
Looking Forward
No, I didn't include Demarcus Dobbs on this list because no, he's not really a tight end. The 49ers can do that kind of thing all they want and he'll never make it onto a position review like this (unless he catches a bunch of passes or something). He had defensive stats last season, but not offensive stats.
Anyway, I really expect Davis to go back to putting up top tier numbers. The 49ers can only use him as a blocker for so long, especially with Colin Kaepernick progressing into a legitimate offensive weapon. You show me a more useful weapon on play action in the red zone and I'll be amazed. Davis is the guy.
I can't help but wonder if what Walker brings is enough to keep him in San Francisco going forward. I've long felt he can be a starter elsewhere and I legitimately believe he'll get that opportunity in 2013 and I believe he'll flourish. But his issues are jut too much for what this team does right now.
I would not be surprised if the 49ers elected to draft a tight end relatively early come April. There aren't any free agents I could see them seriously pursuing, unless they got a real good deal on one of those high potential guys like Jared Cook.

I got mine and I can't decide if it's defective or just the worst mouse I've ever used. It will not track at all on my blue mousepad (except for a tiny blip here or there). It seems to track somewhat on other surfaces but it does not like my mousepad at all. I've never had the slightest trouble with any other mouse on this mousepad, regardless of sensor type (optical, laser, etc.). Unless I got a defective one, I would not recommend this mouse at all.
With the understanding that it costs about twice as much at $16 or so.... I have a Gear Head BT mouse from Amazon. Says it's for Macs but works fine with my Win7 laptop. It does do a weird bit of bogging down about once an hour, where it responds slowly for about 15 seconds, but it never disconnects and I've gotten 2mos out of the batteries so far. So there's an option for those who need/want a BT mouse that isn't too expensive. Of course the usual shipping situation with Amazon applies with this product as well.

Via Adam Schefter's TwitterThe main reason why John Harbaugh outbid seven other teams to hire Juan Castillo as his run game coordinator (overseeing the O-line) is to develop cheap lineman into serviceable players. We all know Juan will develop late round picks and undrafted free agents. That's been his identity! The Eagles only drafted two 1st round linemen the 13 years he was the head O-line coach. Bubba Miller, Hank Fraley, Artist Hicks, Nick Cole, and Austin Howard were all undrafted free agents who he developed into solid starters. During 12 of those 13 years, the Eagles never had a drafted center and averaged two college free agents as starters in each year. The year the Eagles went to the Super Bowl they played with two undrafted free agents on the line. When C Hank Fraley was up for a new contract they let him go to the Browns via free agency and just developed another guy. Expect Joe Banner to put the same formula in place if he gets a QB he covets and an O-line coach he trusts to develop young players. So what does all this mean? This formula saved the team from having to pay and/or draft top lineman so they can put the money elsewhere. So I would suspect as long as the Ravens have Juan Castillo they will not be drafting any lineman in the top three rounds for the foreseeable future. As the QB numbers go up the positions that will suffer financially the most will be linebacker, fullback, running back, receiver and safety. Left tackles will still get paid but centers and guards will be developed from late round and/or undrafted college free agents. For those teams who have a 25 million dollar a year QB, they better have a plan on how they are going to scout, draft, pay and develop young cheap players.

The Ravens officially signed undrafted rookie Justin Tucker (Texas) on Tuesday, the team announced. Tucker was invited for a tryout during rookie minicamp but did not sign. Now that he's a part of the team, Tucker will compete for a spot with veteran K Billy Cundiff, at least for the summer.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/post/19193473Despite his mid-50s range K Justin Tucker, an undrafted free agent, never signed with the Ravens, per the organization. Tucker was a tryout player and isn't on the team's roster. K Billy Cundiff is the only K on Baltimore's roster for now, and is present at Wednesday's OTAs practice.

- I've been told by several people the Baltimore Ravens will jump at the chance to draft Shea McLellin if he's available for them in round one. Otherwise they could draft Peter Konz.
