FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The calendar says 2012. The upcoming schedule says 2012-13. So why, now, this summer, is there such a focus on the Summer of '14?
Because of the Orlando Magic.
And the Los Angeles Lakers.
And because of the Miami Heat.
The NBA long has been about seminal summers. In 2010, it was the free-agency free-for-all of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Carlos Boozer and Mitchell native Mike Miller. This summer, it was the culmination of the United States' climb back to definitive Olympic dominance.
And 2014? That's when the Magic can attempt to return to relevance, when the Lakers can re-affirm enduring relevance, and when the Heat's trio of stars faces the first contract decision of their combined South Florida tenure.
Start with the Magic, where everything seemingly will restart with 2014, when they could have enough salary-cap space, in the wake of their dump of Dwight Howard, to sign a pair of top-tier free agents.
Granted, it's not the blueprint laid out by new General Manager Rob Hennigan, but if the Magic don't net the type of top-of-the-lottery picks Hennigan's previous employer, the Oklahoma City Thunder, netted, then cap-space-gone-wild could prove an efficient Plan B.
Orlando actually could squeeze in a top-tier free agent next summer and forgo a 2014 chase, but a middling 2013 free-agency class beyond Chris Paul, one highlighted by James Harden, Josh Smith and Paul Millsap, hardly warrants such expenditure from a team in extended-recovery mode. (And forget potential 2013 free agents Andrew Bynum and Andre Iguodala, players the Magic already bypassed in the Howard trade.)
Then there are the Lakers, who reinvented themselves this summer with the acquisition of Howard and stand poised to do the same in 2014, when the contracts Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol expire. Even with a re-signed Howard and Steve Nash in the final year of his contract, the Lakers, too, could double up at the top of 2014 free agency. And if you don't think the Lakers could give up on Kobe, remember the Buss family once traded Shaq.
Which brings us to the Heat and those just-in-case 2014 early-termination options James, Wade and Bosh worked into their contracts amid the Heat's July 2010 euphoria.
The universal assumption around the league is all three will opt-out in 2014. Such moves could be as benign as merely reloading with additional seasons that will carry each deep into their 30s or even as altruistic as re-signing at lower figures to allow Pat Riley greater personnel latitude and Micky Arison a reduced luxury-tax burden.
With one or even two more championships, they'd be, well, fools to go anywhere else.
But two years also can be a long time, long enough for Howard to prove the maturity required to lure a pair of tag-along superstars to Los Angeles, long enough for the Magic to score with a pair of Kevin Durant-like lottery picks and again make Orlando a free-agency destination.
All of this hardly should be taken as a warning or even an imminent concern.
But what the Magic have done with their cap situation, what the Lakers could do with theirs, means it's coming:
The same chatter that enveloped the Cleveland Cavaliers during James' final seasons of his contract there, the same type of speculation that besieged the Toronto Raptors during Bosh's final months there.
In August 2012, July 2014 hardly should be a story.
But the Magic, through their Dwight-cleansing machinations, have made it that way. And if Howard emerges as the face of the Lakers, then the Lakers, too, could become captivated by the possibilities of 2014.
In a league of seminal summers, 2014 beckons. It just does.

Editor's Note: In 2013, Wednesdays will be rave-only days. Thank you to our readers for your support.
Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!
A big thank you to Taylor working at the McDonalds in Lake Park. I find him to be friendly, courteous, and helpful no matter what time of day and what is going on. He is an example of what a young man should be in this time and day. Thanks.
To the couple who bought my family's supper at Red Lobster Friday night: You are a blessing. We were still celebrating the adoption of our son and little did we know that my purse would be stolen the next day. Your act of kindness was a bright spot in an otherwise bad weekend. Thank you again!
Thanks to the man in the SUV for rolling up & stashing the flag at Pawn USA during the storm Friday. Patriotism is still alive in Valdosta!
Praise and thanks to Austin's Steakhouse — one awesome local restaurant. Thank you for taking reservations on VSU grad weekend! Service was excellent, food was awesome. Thanks for all the extra work. We appreciate you. Special thanks to Kacie and Kayla our great servers!
Thanks to Colyer's Jeweley for repairing my beautiful clocks. They did such a great job!
Would like to send 'kudos' out to the management and employees of Gamestop in the mall. Always friendly and very helpful.
A huge rave for the elementary students that performed at the Highland Christian Academy Honors Night. Also, kudos to the students that received awards. Good Job!
The Ashley House residents want to personally thank Jason Ingram in maintenance for working tirelessly to clean and secure their apartments so they could return home after the fire.

Rant & Rave for Friday, March 7, 2014
Fire Department and emergency rescue budgets everywhere are getting a little out of hand. If you look at the number of structures that burn down, and compare it to the Fire Department budget; it would be cheaper to just pay to rebuild those couple of houses, and insurance pays for that anyway.
Rants & Raves
The Williams Street project was not about beautification at all. It had one purpose only: preventing curbside parking.
Rants & Raves
Where can I apply for traffic light coordinator? I do not have a degree in the field but I do have common sense.
Rant & Rave for Tuesday, March 4, 2014
I would like to give two "thumbs up" to Lowndes County Commissioner Demarcus Marshall for recognizing that we must and can do business better with respect to the response time of the Lowndes County Fire Department. Numerous homes have been lost because of the long response times, and a county that insists that the current system is working.
Rant & Rave for Monday, March 3, 2014
There is no scientific evidence that human activity is causing the planet to warm, according to Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, who testified in front of a Senate committee on Tuesday. We are victims of propaganda. Arctic ice is up 50 percent this year with no change in sea levels.
Rants & Raves
Will some folks ever understand the difference between weather and climate? Just because it is colder than usual at one time, does not negate the simple fact that globally average temperatures are rising, as CO2 content in the atmosphere is increasing.
Rants & Raves
The Valdosta Industrial Authority seems to have home-grown management with limited connections outside the area. In order to attract business it needs experienced business people with broader networks, outside the state and even the country.
Rants & Raves
Are we going through this Lowndes Hawaii trip thing again? Yes, it was approved. It's not mandatory and no one goes for free. The kids are given plenty of opportunities to raise the money for the trip, end of story. The chaperones, bus drivers, etc., may not be paying that much per person but they aren't going for free. Yes, $2,000 is a lot of money. But think about the airfare alone! Again, if you don't like it, don't send your kid.
Rant & Rave for Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014
Why is it when I call the VLPRA office I always get the answering machine with a message about games being canceled in November?
Rant & Rave for Monday, Feb. 24, 2014
Visitation at funeral homes is a great way to show support for a grieving family. Please break from the tradition of having visitors stand in line for hours to greet the family. Simply have family members disperse throughout the crowd and speak to the individuals that came to see them.

Life on The Rock
I am currently on a plane to Birmingham to visit EWTN's studio where I will be on
Life on the Rock
along with John Thorkelson - one of our students. I am not writing this from the plane, but did so earlier and set it to post this morning.
Please pray for our safe travel. Also, please tune in tonight if you can. The show will air on EWTN at 9pm (CST).
If I have a chance to do some live-blogging, I will. But, otherwise things might be slow around here.

I started to worry about the phone I ordered for my wife's Christmas present when I started reading all the reviews on internet sites. I said "How could anyone have 5 stars for so many reviews?"

Stool DNA
A stool DNA test is a relatively new approach for colon cancer screening. Instead of looking for blood in the stool (like FIT or guiac FOBT), these tests look for certain DNA mutations caused from cancerous tumors or precancerous polyps. Cells from precancerous and cancerous lesions with these mutations are often shed into the stool, where these tests may be able to detect them, therefore indicating the presence of precancerous polyps or colon cancer.
Because DNA mutations may differ between colon cancers, stool DNA tests typically target multiple markers to achieve high detection rates. Also, because DNA markers may be present in only trace quantities in stool, very sensitive laboratory methods are required. The new stool DNA tests demonstrate high detection rates of early-stage colon cancer. Unlike other noninvasive tests, the new stool DNA tests also can detect precancerous polyps.
Only one stool DNA test is currently available in the U.S., but it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Next-generation stool DNA tests that have much improved detection rates are undergoing final clinical validation in a multicenter study by the FDA.
Stool DNA testing has been endorsed in the past by the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer and the American College of Radiology, but not by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Exact Science's ColoSure™ is the only currently available DNA stool test in the U.S. ColoSure™ can be a useful alternative for asymptomatic patients who are at average risk for developing colon cancer and who are unwilling or unable to undergo a colonoscopy. You should talk to your doctor to see if ColoSure™ makes sense for you to use.
Stool DNA testing requires little preparation. You can eat and drink normally before the test and continue your current medications. There's also no need to empty your colon ahead of time.
The stool DNA test that's currently available isn't approved by the FDA, but it may be prescribed by a doctor under special rules. You'll receive the stool DNA test kit for collecting and submitting your stool sample at your doctor's office or by mail if you order it online. The kit includes a container that attaches to the toilet. After you collect the stool sample, you either return the kit to your doctor or mail it to the lab. The test requires only one sample.
Various methods to improve the ease of stool collection and sampling are under evaluation. The stool DNA test may be repeated every two to five years, but additional research must be done to determine the optimal interval for testing. In addition, Medicare currently doesn't cover the test, but some private insurers do.
Your doctor will review the results of your stool DNA test and then share the results with you.
Negative result: A test is considered negative if DNA markers common to colon cancer or precancerous polyps are not found in your stool.
Positive result: A test is considered positive if DNA markers common to colon cancer or precancerous polyps are found in your stool sample. In this case, additional evaluation — usually colonoscopy — would be recommended to determine whether you have cancerous or precancerous changes in your colon or other parts of your digestive system.
False-negative result: A false-negative result — a negative test result when cancer is present — may occur if colon cancer or polyps do not harbor DNA markers targeted by the stool DNA test, or if markers are present in extremely low amounts. While next-generation stool DNA test methods appear to be capable of detecting most colon cancers and precancerous polyps, further study is needed to determine what the rate of false-negative results will be.
False-positive result: A false-positive result — a positive test for cancer when no cancer is present — may occur in about five to ten percent of people screened. False-positives could be due to the presence of tumors above the colon or to a problem with the test. When the stool DNA test result is positive but a follow-up colonoscopy is normal, your doctor may recommend further observation with another stool DNA test, evaluation of your upper gastrointestinal tract, a repeat colonoscopy or a combination of these. Research is being done to clarify the best way to manage false-positive results

Hi Nathan, well not sure how the oil got there but with it being spotless every where else on this cover I doubt it has been dropped there during the oil changes as this can be done without taking this cover off.
Bit of a mystery to me what this hole is for.
Anyhow any one else had a look at theirs?

hi mine is the same may be to help lift rocker cover off (to fit FORD Tool)?
Yes, it may be something like that, i don't think it is a "hole" and goes all the way through, so does not require a bung/ plug, the oil around may only be a co-incedance, there is often oil/ other fluids on engines

MY REUBEN at The BOWERY DINER
Had a REUBEN SANDWICH at the new Bowery Diner yesterday. Yumm, it was Dam Good. Succulent and tasty as I could have hoped for. Saw the piece in New York Magazine this week reintroducing the Reuben. There were some really juicy pictures that got my juices going and yearning for one of these tasty baby's. I had to get one, and I chose the recently opened Bowery Diner for four reasons. Number one, I'm an old diner from way back. Two, I had read about the Bowery Diner a few weeks ago and because as I said I'm a Diner lover from way back, I wanted to check it out. Three, it's in walking distance from my apartment, and four, the price, it wasn't $15 and up, not like some of the other ones, although it is more than $15 on dinner menu at The Bowery Diner, but at lunch it's just $8.75. Let was the deal closer. And there is actually a fifth reason, as I saw in the picture in NyMag and read about it, it was a Classic Old School Reuben, not some Dumb Ass version of a Reuben made with Chicken or Turkey. The Reuben at the Bowery Diner was Classic and Old School and really looked mouthwatering in that picture.
So after my morning Coffee and reading the papers on Monday morning, I left the Cafe and started heading east on Prince Street and over to The Bowery, the street that is, of which is the namesake of the Diner. it was a nice brisk Winter's day. The Sun was out and it wasn't too cold, so I had a nice little walk.
So I get over there and take a peek inside first. It looked pretty cool and it was kind of dead, I was a bit surprised. Thought it would be a little more lively. Maybe at night? One good thing about it not being busy, although I was by myself i should have any problem of getting a nice booth, cause when I'm in a diner, I just gotta sit in a booth. If not a booth, then at the counter but not a regular table. So I walked on in and was greeted by the hostess. I asked for a nice booth and she gave me on. Excellent. The waitress brought me a menu and asked if I wanted anything to drink besides the water. A Coffee please? She brought me a nice Cup of Joe and asked if I was ready to order. Ready to order? I new what I wanted two days ago. So I ordered my Reuben, and oh by the way, I'm hoping and wondering if this baby is going to be as good as it looked in the picture and of how I had been hoping in anticipation that it would. It arrived arrived ten or twelve minutes later and guess what? Hell Yeah! My Reuben Sandwich was every bit as succulent Tasty and Marvelous as I was dreaming it would be. It was downright "Outstanding," nice and juicy and succulent, perfectly toasted Rye Bread, nice melting Gruyere Cheese, Sauerkraut and most important of all a nice thick pile of Succulent Tasty Slightly Smokey, Just about perfect Pastrami. "I Love it." I was in 7th Heaven and ectsty with my Bad Ass Tasty Reuben.
Well i gotta say, The Bowery Diner and new York Magazine with their little piece on the Reuben and the picture of the Bowery Diner's Reuben met my high expectations. So many times you get disappointed, but here I was thoroughly pleased, a Great Reuben, nice ambiance, and a real nice waitress taking care of me. Great service. And one other happy discovery I made on my way to the laboratory, they got a Cool Old Seeburg Jukebox. it's beautiful. i wanted to play a few tunes, remembrances of my childhood but the hostess said it wasn't hooked up yet. Let's hope it will be, cause it's always a lot of fun throwing quarters in those old baby's, watching your records picked from the pile, put on the turntable ans spun. Love It!
So, it was quite a nice lunch at The Bowery Diner with My Reuben, the booth, a Cup of Joe and a Cool Old Jukebox, Check it!

wow my expereince at the bowery diner was the complete opposite from yours from when i went to the Diner 2 weeks ago. Service was non existent to a point I had to flag down the hostess to get anything. I had the Bowery Special burger, that had the smoked meat. Granted the smoked meat part wasnt bad but the burger was horrible. I wasnt able to get it rare like i usually like and when i asked, the waiter replied, "ohh we just dont do that". I compromised with medium rare but it didnt matter, because it was stupid dry and mealy. I understand they opened like 2-3 weeks ago and there are bound to be hickups but it was just flat out bad.

Pastrami and gruyere? Not to say this would not be good, but a Reuben is made with corned beef and Swiss cheese.
re: ttoommyy
Check out Wikipedia and others. Reuben Sandwich made with Pastrami or
Corned Beef ....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_s... -
re: ttoommyy
rrems is definitely correct. The *original* Reuben was/is made with corned beef.
Here's a link to a long history of the Reuben, including its origin and its association with the (defunct) NYC restaurant bearing that name.
re: ttoommyy
Yes you are Correct, a Reuben can be made with either Pastrami or Corned Beef. It doesn't matter.

An RAF Hawk has crashed into a car park but both crew got out OK. Have also seen it reported on other forums that it was a Red Arrows aircraft.
My wings are like a shield of steel.
Reported as Red 11 but not a Red Arrows jet.
Both crew ejected following a reported undercart collapse.
The BBC's article is quite amusing…. 'some damage to the aircraft...' Looks like a bit more than a paint job to me… attached wings might be nice.

Report: OMGPOP closed in Zynga layoffs
by Steve Watts, Jun 04, 2013 3:15pm PDTAs part of yesterday's layoffs at mobile publisher Zynga, Draw Something developer OMGPOP has reportedly been closed. The closure of the New York office would close OMGPOP by extension, and several staff members took to Twitter to state they had been impacted by the layoffs.
Develop reports that in addition to various executives, the official OMGPOP account tweeted that it was the last day for "many" of its staff. Shacknews has contacted Zynga to clarify, and will update as more information becomes available.
OMGPOP made headlines last year when Draw Something enjoyed a surge of popularity, culminating in Zynga's purchase of the studio for a reported $200 million. Daily usage began to fall after that, though. Former OMGPOP CEO Dan Porter left Zynga earlier this year.
Zynga itself, meanwhile, continues to struggle. This is the third such large staff reduction in the last several months, after closures in Boston, MA and Austin, TX, and a closure in Baltimore, MD.

Tonight, I will kick this off with Ohio winning big over Miami OH. I think Solich has these guys playing very well and vs a new first year coach in Don Treadwell should make easy work of these guys. I think that the key to this game is how Mickey Tettleton's boy plays. When he is hot, they are a very good team. Lets just hope he is like his dad and ate his fruit loops. :) Good Luck Everyone!
