Men's Basketball Picked Seventh and Eighth in A-Sun Preseason Polls
FORT MYERS, Fla. – As the Eagles enter their third season as a member of Division I, the FGCU men's basketball team was picked seventh in the 2009-10 Atlantic Sun Preseason Coaches' Poll and eighth in the Media Poll which were released by the conference office on Wednesday afternoon.
FGCU was tied for seventh with Stetson in the coaches' poll, and was selected eighth in the media poll, finishing ahead of Kennesaw State, USC Upstate and North Florida.
"We are pleased to be picked seventh, "said FGCU head coach Dave Balza."We still have a lot of hard work in front of us but we continue to get better every day."
FGCU returns three players who started at least 28 games last season, including three of the team's top leading scorers, two of the team's top three three-point shooters and the squad's leader in rebounds and blocks.
Junior guard Reed Baker returns after playing in all 31 games last season. Baker finished with a team-best 13.4 points per game.
"Reed is the one of the leaders on this team, on and off the floor," said Balza. "He understands the level of commitment it's going to take for us to be successful."
Senior Forward Kyle Marks returns to the post for the Eagles after averaging 9.6 points and finishing second in the A-Sun in blocks per game.
Reggie Chambers, the lone Eagle to earn Atlantic Sun honors last season also returns as he was named to the All-Freshman Team. Chambers averaged 8.6 points and finished with 81 assist in 29 games played.
The Eagles will also look to Derrick O'Neil, O'Neil finished with 9.2 points per game and collected a team best 7.3 rebounds per game.
In addition, Coach Balza will have the services of Santa Fe transfer Charlie Lytle. The Eagles 6-foot-8 forward is expected to make a strong impact this season.
The Eagles begin the 2009-10 season against 2009 NCAA runner-up Michigan State on Nov. 13 as part of a four game road trip that takes them through three different states to start the season.

"Damned in Black" falls in between two of Immortal's best albums "At the Heart of Winter" and "Sons of Northern Darkness." Though often overshadowed by the rest of Immortal's catalogue, "Damned in Black" is an excellent display of Immortal's signature thrashy black metal. Blast beats and riffs aplenty, Immortal definately delivers on "Damned in Black." If you are an Immortal fan already you will not be disappointed by this album. Those new to Immortal should try "Sons of Northern Darkness" first.
Favorite track: Damned in Black

Cheddar-Almond Lettuce Salad Recipe
Sugared almonds and a honey-mustard dressing make this salad a real standout. In fact, I keep slivered almonds in my freezer just so I can whip it up for those spur-of-the-moment special occasions! For more nutrition, color or variety, I sometimes add broccoli and tomatoes. --Julia Musser, Lebanon, Pennsylvania
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 9 cups torn romaine
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- In a small heavy skillet, combine almonds and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until nuts are coated and golden. Spread onto foil to cool. Divide romaine among salad plates; top with eggs and cheese.
- In a blender, combine the sugar, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, onion powder, celery seed, mustard, paprika and salt. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Drizzle over salads; sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 9 servings.

involved and it was a pleasurable experience - so easy compared to airport procedures!
Once on board the if became apparent that we were going to have a great time. Exploring all the facilities and services - finding the restaurants etc.
The storm! Oh yes the storm on the Bay of Biscay! Wow! We were lucky and were not sick in anyway but we made a concerted effort to keep ourselves occupied and moving about (other than staggering from the ship being tossed about that is!). The ship - Independence of the Seas was tossed about like a matchbox but it was built to withstand force 10-12 winds etc. It was a great experience and we were not worried at all. You go on the sea you must be prepared for things like this and accept it just may happen to you - if you didnt like it dont go on the seas!
Once over this the cruise went well - we did miss Madera but it was not the end of the world - one of those things - there was plenty to keep you occupied on ship. The facilities offered on this ship are outstanding and accessible to all - there is no reason to be bored! The shows were fantastic and varied, the Ice show Strings was outstanding. The staff were so polite, charming and obliging - nothing was too much trouble. The formal nights were lovely - nice to see that people can meet a dress code and it made you feel good to make the effort - it wasnt compulsory but most joined in. There was something for everyone - the gym was outstanding and offered seminars on interesting subjects, the Spa offered a variety of excellant services.
The towel animals left in your cabin at the end of the day by your cabin attendant was a nice touch and very clever. It made it just that bit special that someone would take the time to do it. Our cabin was kept spotless by our cabin attendant - very helpful - if you needed anything special she would assist us. Excellent service.
The restaurant staff were excellent - always keen to please and knowledgeable about wines etc. They worked their socks off serving 4000 guests throughout the day - they seemed tireless. Talented - could sing well!
The cruise director made sure that everyone enjoyed themselves - he was constantly conspicuous and made sure the variety of entertainment was available to everyone.
I have two disappointments however - one being room service - we had two bad experiences with room service - cold food and not meeting our order, and the other was the Internet - it was terrible - especially as the advertising promotes the state-of-the art service - it certainly was not and very expensive to boot!
But this did not interrupt our cruise and we still enjoyed every minute of it - would have and have done so recommend it to anyone, we will do another soon.
Happy sailing!

NFL analyst: Cardinals 'ought to be put in jail' for hire of Tom Moore
Originally published: Jan 22, 2013 - 5:18 pm
A former personnel man in the league who is now an analyst for NFL.com, he is respected when it comes to his thoughts on the league.
So his thoughts on what the Cardinals have done lately -- specifically the hire of Bruce Arians as head coach and then Tom Moore as assistant head coach/offense -- should make one take notice.
"Well they ought to be put in jail for stealing, to get Tom Moore," Brandt told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday. "Tom Moore is one of the all-time great people and one of the really all-time great coaches, as far as I'm concerned."
Moore, 74, brings a wealth of experience with him to the desert, including time as the offensive coordinator in Indianapolis when the Colts won the Super Bowl in 2006.
"I think that's a great hire," Brandt added, before turning his attention to Arians, who is tasked with turning around a team that went 5-11 last season and had the second-worst scoring offense in the NFL and the worst in terms of yardage.
"I thought Arians did a great job this year," Brandt said of his time as interim head coach and offensive coordinator in Indianapolis. Arians got the job when head coach Chuck Pagano had to leave the team due to leukemia, and compiled a 9-3 record while he was at the helm. "They scored 40 less points than their opponents and won 11 games. They had a big deficit in turnovers, they won 11 games. They had a big deficit in sack differential and won games.
"So he must have done something right."

Behind and just left of QOB Pinnacle, Lumina appears to start in a grungy crack-like thing (at least I always have!). Move out right to the face after 10 - 15 ft and the climbing returns to fine pockets with the occasional horrizontal seam thrown in. If you need a second warm up, Lumina is recommended. Good rock, clean pockets, continuous 5.9 climbing. This line has a bit of run-out in getting to the anchor, but the angle drops back a bit and the final climbing is very much on the feet and substantially easier than the middle 40 ft. Nice climbing, nothing very complex.
Eight draws and a rope.

Aldo (20-1) aims to make his third successful UFC featherweight title defense, having already defeated Mark Hominick and Kenny Florian last year via decisions. Mendes (11-0) is a wrestler out of Urijah Faber's team Alpha Male who holds UFC wins over Michihiro Omigawa and Rani Yahya.
The live blog is below.
Mendes is all smiles as he makes his way to the cage to "Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses. A focused Aldo walks out to what has become his entrance song "Run This Town" by Jay-Z.
Mario Yamasaki will referee this UFC featherweight title fight.
Round 1: Mendes initiates with several inside leg kicks. Mendes lands a leg kick that throws Aldo off. Aldo returns fire with a powerful leg kick. Mendes attempts his first takedown at 3:51 and Aldo stuffs it. Aldo walks forward and lands a jab. Aldo scores on a crushing leg kick. Mendes shoots again and Aldo stops it. Mendes has always overwhelmed his opponents with takedowns but so far his attempts have not been close whatsoever. Mendes misses on his third takedown attempt. Mendes catches Aldo coming in and controls Aldo's back. Mendes tries to dump Aldo, and would have gotten the take down, but Aldo grabs the fence. Mendes tries again and Aldo is able to stay on his feet. Aldo spins out and follows with a knee that drops Mendes. Aldo adds three more right punches and knocks out Mendes. Aldo then runs into the crowd and it's quite the scene. A fitting scene to cap off a wild UFC in Brazil.
Aldo wins via KO - Round 1, 4:59

The beat goes on for Doug O'Neill, Breeders' Cup or no. Thrust suddenly but firmly onto racing's global landscape with I'll Have Another's victory in the 2012 Kentucky Derby, the 45-year-old trainer of one of the largest operations on the West Coast not only has seven horses entered in Breeders' Cup races, he has several on Friday and Saturday's attractive undercard.
Among them are Cal Gal and Smoove It in Friday's $200,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies at a mile on dirt, and Avare in Friday's Grade II, grassy Twilight Derby at 1 1/8 miles.
"Cal Gal has always trained like a stakes filly, although she kind of laid a couple eggs until we got her on the grass," O'Neill said, referring to her two disappointing efforts on Del Mar's Polytrack before breaking her maiden going about 6 ½ furlongs on Santa Anita's downhill turf course Oct.5.
"She really came to life on the grass, so we're hoping the light bulb went on and it wasn't strictly the surface. If it was just the surface, then we're in trouble. She's always trained like a good filly. She's trained on this dirt track just fine, so I think she's got a chance."
Smoove It, a daughter of promising young sire Square Eddie owned and bred by J. Paul Reddam, who owned I'll Have Another, drew the rail for the third straight time, but going a mile as opposed to sprinting the last two times, it should be advantageous.
"She's doing well," O'Neill said. "These Square Eddies are all runners. They've got their father's speed and heart. Both are nice fillies. I think we'll see Smoove It be more involved early in the race and hopefully both them really involved late in the race."
Avare, upset winner of the Pomona Derby at odds of nearly 10-1 last out on Sept. 21, is owned by Rick Pitino, coach of the NCAA champion Louisville Cardinals, and former Santa Anita head honcho Mark Verge. Pitino runs as RAP Racing, while Verge campaigns under the nom de course of Westside Rentals.com.
With Avare listed at 20-1 on the morning for the Twilight Derby, O'Neill figures the 3-year-old gelded son of Johannesburg is an overlay.
"He'll outrun those odds," O'Neill said of the front-running Kentucky-bred, who won the Eddie Logan Stakes in 2012. "He's training great. He was gelded a few starts ago and that's really helped him.
"He's always had talent but he would sometimes get himself a little too worked up in the paddock and in the post parade. He's really calmed down a lot and now focuses on running. If he can be on or near the lead without crazy fractions, I give him a big chance."
Classify this as breaking news: Gangnam Guy is off the rail. The 2-year-old Roi Charmant colt owned by Richard Barton and trained by Mike Machowsky has had nothing but inside posts during his brief career, breaking from No. 1 four times and No. 2 twice in six starts.
In Friday's $200,000 Golden State Juvenile at one mile, the bay drew post position four in a field of nine, causing Machowsky to exhale in relief. Breaking from the one hole last out in the 6 ½ furlong Barretts Juvenile at Fairplex Park on Sept. 15, Gangnam Guy finished fourth by nearly nine lengths.
"He didn't handle the turns at all," Machowsky said. "He was never comfortable on that track, and he draws the rail every damn time he runs. But he's a pretty solid horse. Going a mile on dirt, I don't know, but he worked real well going seven furlongs here on Sept. 29 (a bullet 1:27 flat).
"I think he'd love going two turns on the grass, but we'll have to see about a mile on dirt. This race is for a lot of money, and I think he's going to run big.
"He can be on the lead or sit off it. When he worked seven-eighths, he broke off about eight lengths behind a team of horses I had, just to get some dirt in his face, and he finished up real nice."
Machowsky said Barton owns a company called California Packaging in the Inland Empire and "has been in racing for a while and now has his sights set on bigger things.
"He bought Champ Pegasus (multiple graded stakes winner on grass and 2010 Breeders' Cup Turf runner-up) from (Richard) Mandella and I think he's going to stand the horse at Legacy (Ranch in the Northern California town of Clements).
"Barton's putting together quite a big breeding program in California. His entire family loves racing."
The field for the Golden State Juvenile: California Chrome, Alberto Delgado, 3-1; Life Is a Joy, Joel Rosario, 9-2; Electric Eddie, Mario Gutierrez, 12-1; Gangnam Guy, Edwin Maldonado, 9-2; Tribal Mystic, Corey Nakatani, 20-1; Sir Barclay, Chantal Sutherland Kruse, 15-1; Tamarando, Julien Leparoux, 8-5; Cinmars Dance, Alex Bisono, 8-1; and Better Bet, Martin Pedroza, 12-1.
Simon Callaghan has two fillies running on Santa Anita's unique downhill turf course at about 6 ½ furlongs Saturday, Love In The Desert in the $100,000 Juvenile Turf Sprint Stakes and Judy In Disguise in the Grade III, $100,000 Ken Maddy Stakes.
Similarities do not end there, although Love In The Desert is a 2-year-old making her U.S. debut and facing males, while Judy In Disguise is a 3-year-old making her ninth start in America. Each was bred in England and each has shown a fondness for turf sprints.
Love In The Desert's four career starts across the pond have all been in grass sprints. The daughter of Lemon Drop Kid broke her maiden going five furlongs on turf in England last June. Judy In Disguise, a daughter of Elusive City, already has a stakes win going 6 ½ down the hill at Santa Anita, having captured the Sweet Life last Feb. 16.
Love In The Desert has not raced since July 27, when she finished fourth in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Juddmonte Stakes at Ascot. "She's training well," Callaghan said. "It's a competitive race but we're hoping for a good run, being her first in America."
Judy In Disguise has won four of her 12 starts and never failed to earn a check in the U.S. She was fourth in the Unzip Me Stakes at about 6 ½ furlongs on grass on Sept. 28. It was her first race in more than two months.
"She's a pretty consistent filly," Callaghan said. "She's won going down the hill, but this is against older (fillies) so it's kind of a tough race. But she's training well and we think we've got her in good shape.
"We're hopeful; we think she's got a good chance."
Zeewat moves from East to his old stomping grounds back West when he runs in Saturday's $100,000 Damascus Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs.
"He's a really nice horse," said Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who also owns a piece of the Harlan's Holiday colt with George Todaro. "We've got (Rafael) Bejarano on him and we've had a lot of success with him."
Zeewat's last race came at Parx outside of Philadelphia, where he finished fourth in the Grade III Gallant Bob Stakes, beaten two lengths despite a wide trip. Previously, the bay raced mainly in Northern California, where Hollendorfer has ruled the training ranks for decades.
Told he had a 2-5 morning line favorite to beat in Flashback, Hollendorfer said, "If we can do it, it would be fun."
The Damascus field: Flashback, Martin Garcia, 2-5; Tour Guide, Luis Saez, 8-1; Zeewat, Rafael Bejarano, 4-1; Show Some Magic, E.P. Gomez, 5-1; and Anillo, Edwin Maldonado, 8-1.
FINISH LINES: Thursday's card has a massive Pick Six carryover of $439,663 . . . The race for Santa Anita riding honors could come down to the final day.

Date Reviewed: February 12, 2007
Strengths: Does what a rear shock should do to make it a soft ride, from a hardtail to a softail, like riding in a Cadillac.
Weaknesses: The defective air sleeve seals found on the 2001,2002 models was made up of the in-correct rubber compound. If the shock has to go back to Fox, then you got yourself one heck of a long wait on your hands (1-3months).
Bottom Line:
I got my shock back in less then 1 week as my LBS had the correct seals instock. The seals were a mere $5 but cost $20 to service then (I thought the costs would of been the other way round). Had I known this, I'd of taken my bike in for service back in 2005. I'm a clydesdale rider of 190-210 lbs, I set the shock to 150-180 lbs and ride asphalt streets, cement sidewalks and waterfront bike paths mainly.
Bottom Line: A very good Fox Racing Shock and the next bike I'll buy will have the RC (rebound & compression features) & longer travel.

Illamasqua Crosses The Pond-------
Seeing as how we were one of the first stateside news outlets to cover Illamasqua's exclusive launch at Selfridges last fall, we've been waiting for this day to come for quite some time—nine months, to be exact. Beginning July 21, the cosmetics line created by makeup artist Alex Box (she of Gareth Pugh backstage beauty fame) with stylistic guidance from Dave Vanian (he of the goth band the Damned) invites you to "find your alter ego" at Sephora.com. Lovers of bright nail lacquers in three different finishes, those of you in the market for opaque lipsticks that run the color gamut from reds and berries to green and black, and alabaster-skinned foundation fans who want coverage that verges on a shade of white will be able to make all of your dreams come true first online, and then in store when the brand premieres at the beauty giant's new Times Square location on the 30th (the nationwide rollout happens in the fall). It's good news for makeup lovers of all kinds, from socialites and princesses to clowns and trannies. Equal-opportunity cosmetics have finally arrived.
Illamasqua, Goth Makeup For Girls And Boys-------
When black lipstick-clad models walked down YSL's Fall runway last February, the fashion and beauty pack took momentary pause. Initial sentiments of "goth? really?" were quickly followed by "what is that lipstick and when/where can I buy it?!" Opaque pigments and sheer glosses in varying shades of the macabre went into production shortly thereafter, echoing the somber mood and tone of our economy. According to makeup artist Alex Box, however, stylemakers' collective re-embrace of all things soul-torturing have nothing to do with the dismal dollar. "People want to explore their alter egos a little bit more, right now. They're going darker, and they want a little goth back in their life," she surmises. For the seasoned face-painter (Box is responsible for translating Gareth Pugh's architectural runway vision into makeup form), there was a hole in the market that needed filling. And fill it she has, as the artistic director of the new, unisex makeup line Illamasqua . Box and her co-conspirators (including one Dave Vanian from the Damned ) are bringing the moody blues back in a full spectrum of high-quality colors for both men and women, with four collections available exclusively at Selfridges in London. Style.com caught up with Box to talk about lip gloss as black as tar and how she has managed to skirt the line between daywear and clown makeup.
How did the whole idea for Illamasqua start?
I did an interview in the Guardian about how I was this symbol for a new combination of goth and glamour. Simultaneously, Julian [Kynaston, of the advertising and branding company Propaganda] wanted to design a makeup range that had a story, that had a life to it, that could attract the counterculture from rockabillies to punks to burlesque. His wife randomly saw the interview and he contacted me and that was it.
What has the transition been like for you going from makeup artist to artistic director?
It's like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I want green nail polish and they make it! My whole life I've wanted to celebrate individuality, and that's reflected in the line. There are no boundaries with the makeup. You can use the lip products on your body, the eye products on your lips. If you give people boundaries, they stay within them; if you don't, they have more freedom.
How would you say you've exercised this freedom, by which I mean what are the most unique products in the line?
I absolutely love our white liquid foundation. It's a very sheer, lightweight white so you can look porcelain, not like a clown. We actually have four shades of white—I mean, we're really going for it. We also have a black lip gloss that's so thick it's like tar.
Do you think there's really a market for people who want to put tar on their lips?
If you present something to somebody, they're going to try it. But if it doesn't exist, they can't try it. For example, I've never seen a green lip gloss. You've got to make something that's not on the market or else you're gonna shoot yourself in the foot. We just let our imaginations run wild.
How did Dave Vanian get involved?
Julian is a very big fan of the Damned and so am I. Dave is an innovator and was one of the first punk stars to wear makeup. He's a great adviser on style as he's incredibly in tune with creating a look—he was the first goth, really. He will just come in and sit with me and talk about life—when life crosses with art and when art crosses with fashion. And it's great to have someone who is a sounding board like that.
What about the unisex factor? Do you see men's makeup becoming increasingly popular anytime soon?
I do, but I think that the way that it's currently marketed is so patronizing. The young guys now are so much more open to this kind of image—they don't feel as strongly as older people about having a stereotypical male look. So they're more open to swapping clothes with girls. And a lot of them are more interested in making a statement than making themselves look desirable.

I'll be interested most to see if Root can rotate the strike here while Bell's struggling to score. Would be a good way to demand a spot.
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
I'm being impatient.
Too many variations from Ashwin. Just bowl the normal flighted off-spinner 5 times an over for once.
Starting to get behind the rate here ... Bell's been there a long time for 40.
Two boundaries in three balls after I posted that.

40 off 76 and still blocking the worst opposition bowler. If Bell gets out now I'll wait at the airport to stab him
From where has Dhoni remembered Yuvraj now ?
Introduction of Yuvraj has helped, but I don't see him staying on for long.
A pleasant gift from Dhoni to bowl some more Yuvraj when Jadeja is already the 5th bowler, and a much better left-arm spinner.
Dhoni working on the theory every English batsman is Pietersen, IMHO.
Yuk, rank half tracker from Ashwin as I type. Root does the necessary.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
It'll be close this. Good partnership but we've no idea how they'll manage it in about 5 overs' time when they have to kick on.
There's just something wrong with Ashwin's action.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Foreign Language, Horror, Thrillers, Toronto International Film Festival, Cinematical Indie, Toronto Film Festival, CinematicalMost of the celebrities are gone, the parties are notably less funky, and the throngs of jaywalkers on Bloor Street have trickled down to a steady drip -- but the Midnight Madness continues! (Case in point: Even with the festival winding down, J.T. Petty's S&MAN still had a powerful debut and Q&A session!) Update #3 (of 4, in case you were wondering) offers a taste of British slash-stick, French freakiness, and Canadian carnage.
Severance -- Here's a movie I quite enjoyed; I laughed at the funny bits, I cringed at the gooey gore-geysers, and I even got spooked once or twice. So why did I leave the theater feeling slightly underwhelmed? Probably because the early buzz from across the pond (and various other film festivals) was that Christopher Smith's Severance is "the next Shaun of the Dead" -- which it most certainly is not. (Frankly I wish people would stop using the phrase "X is the next Y," but then all the publicists would go out of business.) The flick's about a group of weapon-making co-workers who go on a "team-building" retreat ... only to see their teammates picked off by a rather nastily creative stalker. Suffice to say Severance is broadly amusing, satisfyingly splattery, and just clever enough to appease the demanding genre freaks -- and that's good enough for me.
Sheitan -- Take a bunch of aggressively disgusting young Frenchman, let 'em cross paths with a pair of slinky young hotties with a secret, and jam the whole lot of 'em into an isolated cabin with the certifiably insane Vincent Cassel -- and you're not even close to understanding how loopy this flick is. (Hint: "Sheitan" is French for "Satan.") I'll go on record as saying I didn't really like the movie all that much, but I'd be lying if I said a few scenes didn't really stick in my head. Probably too schizophrenic and ambly for a guy like me, but if French-fried dark comedy and intensely unpleasant visuals float your boat, odds are you'll find more to appreciate than I did. Actually, it's probably worth seeing for Cassel's kook-faced performance alone.
End of the Line -- OK, so I'm cheating again. End of the Line is not a Midnight Madness selection, but (just like Fido) it sure would be if it weren't a Canadian flick. Based on conversations, reviews and in-line eavesdroppings, I've come to the conclusion that I am presently in the minority regarding End of the Line -- in that I quite liked it. It's certainly not a flawless little horror flick, but its "religious freaks run amok" concept pulled me in, and the "trapped in the subway tubes" setting sealed the deal. Plus it's got some unexpected twists, a few freaky kills, and an ice-water finalé -- so I have no problem recommending this one to the horror-heads.
Coming up next issue: Princess, Pan and Fessenden! (Yes, more cheating on my part.)

SOURCE National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies
WASHINGTON, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The federal government should avoid imposing any regulations on insurers to impose "affordability," the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies said today, noting that low-income consumers already spend more on alcohol and tobacco products or audio and visual equipment and service than they pay for auto insurance.
"If consumers can choose to spend more of their income on alcohol and tobacco, and also more on television sets and cable service, than on automobile insurance, it is hard to make the case that it is difficult for these consumers to afford automobile insurance," said Robert Detlefsen, NAMIC's vice president of public policy, in a letter to Federal Insurance Office director Michael McRaith, citing the Bureau of Labor Statistics annual Consumer Expenditure Survey.
FIO had requested comment on how affordability could be defined and potentially measured. Detlefsen wrote that while a specific definition of affordability is largely subjective, the CES provides a real dollar amount as well as the percentage of household income paid for auto insurance. According to the survey, consumers in the bottom 20 percent of income level spend a combined 2.1 percent of household income on alcohol and tobacco and 2.4 percent on A/V equipment and services, compared with 2 percent on vehicle insurance.
FIO also requested comment on affordability with regard to minorities, and Detlefsen noted that insurers do not have information to separate minority consumers from the general population.
"Insurers do not ask about the race or ethnicity of insureds or applicants for insurance," he said, adding that to do so would be "ill-advised and misleading to consumers" and in violation of state laws barring insurers from collecting information on race or ethnicity. "Safe, low-risk drivers come in all races, ethnicities, and income levels – as do high-risk drivers."
Ultimately, Detlefsen offered a note of caution against seeking new regulations to impose an arbitrary idea of affordability on the auto insurance marketplace, arguing that doing so could undermine the fundamental practices that protect all consumers.
"NAMIC cannot stress enough the actuarial and financial importance of accurately matching price to risk so that insurers can keep their promises to policyholders to pay covered claims," he said. "It is imperative that these principles not be subverted by policymakers in the name of affordability."

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Curtis Painter completed 23 of 34 passes for 188 yards in a 17-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals today. Painter connected with tight end Dallas Clark for his only touchdown of the game, and he also threw an interception.
Painter was averaging 206 passing yards a game with 618 passing yards on the season and four touchdowns with zero interception through his first three games of the 2011 NFL season. Painter's passing numbers have been surprising in his first two starts, both of which had long touchdown passes.
Painter was ranked by Yahoo! as the twenty fourth quarterback heading into Week 6 with the taking on the Cincinnati Bengals who rank 3rd against the pass.

McCain: Obama should have Camp David budget summit
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain says President Barack Obama should invite lawmakers to Camp David or the White House to hammer out a last-minute deal to avert deep budget cuts set to start taking effect at week's end.
The Arizona Republican says Obama should be talking with lawmakers instead of demonizing them over the looming across-the-board cuts in domestic and defense spending.
McCain calls the Pentagon cuts "unconscionable" and says military leaders are already warning they would be devastating.
McCain, the 2008 GOP president nominee, says it's time for Obama to show leadership and call lawmakers either to Camp David or to the White House for a budget summit.
McCain appeared on CNN's "State of the Union."

The installation of the SDK went fine, so no problem there. I can use the PC Suite (4.5) with the 6310, so the IR connection between the phone and the PC should not be the problem either.
What am I doing wrong?

IF/when that day happens, will the ps3 be able to access gaiki? or will it be $#@! out of luck? Because there are some ps3 games that were unplayable at launch and required server access to download patches to fix the issues in playability. If that patch access is removed, then it screws over owners of those titles that need access to the patch for whatever reason.

Porting a save to gain trophies you didnt actually earn in game is likely why developers lock so many trophies. Making it hard to simple back up all of your game saves to a USB flash drive.
Ultimately the developers simply want you to play the multiplayer to get those trophies, if you didnt get it then tough, you should have played the multiplayer. That's just the way they think, they don't care that you didn't get them when the servers shut down because they don't have to care. Welcome to the Digital Era kids this is how it works._____________________________________________

The Miami Marlins are having a pretty bad weekend. First, Giancarlo Stanton needs to have knee surgery and is forced to miss the All-Star Game. Then, the Marlins find out they won't have a representative in said All-Star Game. Now, starting third baseman Hanley Ramirez has injured his finger.
According to ESPN.com, Ramirez needed to leave Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fifth inning due to a laceration on a finger on his right hand. Ramirez had been 0-for-10 in the series when he departed.
After the game, it was reported that Ramirez injured his hand punching a fan.
One would imagine that this weekend wasn't how the Marlins wanted to head into the All-Star break.

-- — In 2006, Indiana congressman Mike Pence found himself in an unlikely place: Sitting across from U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, the unabashed liberal Democrat whose beliefs about the interventionist role of federal government were polar opposite from those of the Republican Pence.
The men had found a common concern: Both thought the nation's immigration laws weren't working and each had put forth proposals, though different, that could ease the way for illegal immigrants to find legal work in the U.S.
Their plans would falter, but Pence said he liked the idea of reaching across political ideology to find a connection.
And he liked the surprised look on Kennedy's face when he told him: "I think I'm the only conservative Republican in Congress that has a bust of your brother in my campaign headquarters."
Pence, 53, tells that story to explain how President John F. Kennedy, the scion of Irish Catholic immigrants, could inspire a young Irish Catholic lad growing up in Columbus, Ind., to later seek public office.
Pence also tells the story to explain how he'd govern if he were elected the next governor of Indiana.
"When I wrap up my career in the House, I'll leave Congress with warm personal relationships on both sides of the aisle," said Pence, who had to opt out of seeking a seventh House term when he decided to run for governor.
"It's owing to the fact that people who know me know I've always said, 'I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it.' I've always believed you can disagree without being disagreeable."
Pence is mild-mannered but not mild in some of his views. He's a staunch fiscal and social conservative who went from being a Democrat as a teenager to a Republican as a college student, after he was inspired by Ronald Reagan's optimistic view of life and sharp call for limited government. The transformation occurred around the time he met his wife, Karen, and became an evangelical Christian. The Pences now have two sons.

"I have to agree with the caller who called in regarding the 89-year-old senator who just passed away who was still in office. I'm also nearing 80 years old. I have to be honest; I cannot begin to do what I did 10 years ago. All of my friends will agree that there comes a time when you can no longer physically or mentally do the job."
Air Quality?
"We receive such detailed and comprehensive annual water quality report from the city of Loveland, but not even a peep about air quality. With the U.S. highway right through town, air quality is something that affects everything. Is it even tested anywhere in this area? Especially during the six months out of the year where there's so much increased traffic."
White House
"In the next few years, if anyone in America is allowed to write the history of the Obama administration, then it will go down as the most corrupt ever. The media is not doing their job in investigating all the scandals. IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, DOJ subpoenas of phone records and on and on. People, you must do your own research because you will not get it from the White House press or any other sources. When the president says jump, they say how high."
Drilling Petition
"I stopped by the library yesterday and ran into some folks wearing bright colored T-shirts collecting signatures for a moratorium on drilling for gas in Loveland. They said they were volunteering for a group called Protect Our Loveland and the group wanted time for research before we allow fracking in Loveland. After talking with them, I agree with their approach for a moratorium and signed the petition. I encourage folks to stop and talk to these folks. They seem very reasonable."
Rialto Effects
"Something is missing from the discussion about the Rialto. It is how the renovation has affected the downtown merchants. If a new and approved Rialto has boosted sales at all those local bars and restaurants for instance, that's a good thing for Loveland."
North Dakota
"To the caller suggesting that we allow fracking in order for Loveland to grow like North Dakota, I'd like to remind you that the majority of citizens prefer quality over quantity. Simply visit North Dakota to see the negatives of a temporary drilling boom like strained infrastructure, ravaged landscape, polluted air, toxic truck traffic and spotless land use. Drillers have no interest in the community once the gas is gone. So why would we allow irreversible damage to our environment and the quality of our city for a brief temporary revenue stream?"
Paying Teachers
"Bob Kerrigan doesn't make any sense. He wants quality teachers and other teachers fired, yet he doesn't want to spend any money on employees. We've all had teachers growing up who had all the gadgets and were still bad teachers. We've all had teachers who were great teachers and did nothing but teach and didn't need technology. Get good people in the classroom like we already have. Pay them like other districts. Sit back and be happy."
"A caller claimed that Lincoln Place Apartments are some kind of broken promise and I'd like to challenge that claim. Data indicates that the residential rental market in the Front Range is incredibly strong with high prices and low vacancies. New, quality, mixed use downtown development makes great business sense. It is a proven way to revitalize historic downtown. Look no further than Fort Collins or Boulder to see the benefit of making downtown revitalization a priority. Also, both places don't allow fracking by the way."
Gun Debate
"It has come to light that during the debate in Denver, the county sheriffs were not able to contact John Hickenlooper, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg was able to contact him any time he wanted. Gee, I wonder who's pulling the strings down there."

Paris in the Summer
Why visit Paris?
During the summer months of May to September, the vibrant city of Paris is a fantastic destination for families, couples and singles alike. With gloriously warm weather, long sunny days, a variety of fabulous festivals and a plethora of exciting things to do and see, a summer break in Paris is an experience not to be missed.
Being the peak of the tourist season, the summer months bring huge crowds and it is highly recommended that you book flights and accommodation well in advance. Despite this, the majority of events, activities and excursions that can be enjoyed this time of year are geared towards tourists, making it a splendid time to visit. There are some spectacular last-minute deals available online so book your flights, find a hotel that suits your needs, take out a summer holiday insurance policy and head to Paris for a wonderful getaway.
A music-lovers paradise
For outstanding summer entertainment, Paris has something for everyone to enjoy. The Paris Street Music Festival is particularly favourable as all of the bar, café and street performances offer free admission. With local and international musicians playing everything from heavy metal and rock to jazz and blues, it is little wonder why the Paris Street Music Festival is one of the city's most popular events. Held every June, most performances begin after sunset and continue throughout the night until the early hours of the following morning.
Another excellent open-air music event is the Paris Jazz Festival. Held between June and July in Bois de Vincennes, this festival features some superb jazz and blues musicians and is definitely an event to remember.
See the city from the river
No trip to Paris would be complete without seeing the major sights. During the summer there is no better way to do this than by taking a boat cruise along the River Seine. There are many different companies offering day trips, evening cruises that include dinner services and hop-on, hop-off transportation. Many of the best sights such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the National Assembly building can be viewed from the river.
Take in the stunning scenery in Paris' parks and gardens
Another perfect way to enjoy a sunny afternoon in Paris is by relaxing in one the many stunning parks and gardens that are dotted around the city. Luxemburg Gardens is simply delightful with its elegant flower displays and ponds and offers fun for the whole family with pony rides, boating activities and tennis courts to enjoy. Bois de Vincennes is also beautifully landscaped and features lakes, picnic areas, a zoo and a funfair, as well as some amazing open-air concerts throughout the summer months.

The 4 B's - Reunited!! by Andi - over 2 years ago
"This summer we had an awesome family reunion on the shores of Lake Sunapee in NH. I wanted t-shirts to commemorate the event and chose to design them through CustomInk. Once I had the design done online, I called customer service to place my order since I wanted shirts in 4 different colors. Each color represents one sibling branch of the family. We call them the"4 B's" - Betty, Bob, Bev & Bill. Everyone loved the shirts and CustomInk made the whole process a snap!"

The issue was defeated 67% to 33%. A margin, the mayor calls, surprising.
Mayor Winnecke tells 14 News that the two issues he believes voters still had questions about are representation and taxes. He says it's apparent the Yes for Unification campaign didn't make a compelling enough argument for change.
He says he would be disappointed if the issue isn't re-visited in the future with either the original plan or a similar one.
"The county commission and the city council made about 100 changes to the plan the citizens committee brought together. There were probably some other changes if I really sat down went through it and made. I suspect there are members of the CORE group and other people generally in the public that would never support it and that's okay," Mayor Winnecke said.
The mayor also says the vote sends a message that residents are pleased with the current direction on city-county government.

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Barter Media Solutions announces the launch of its $200 million economic stimulus plan. The plan provides companies with an immediate revolving credit line of $25,000 to $2 million or more to purchase all major forms of advertising.
"The government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out banks and large corporations. Unfortunately most small to medium sized businesses did not receive government bailouts, and the banks that received bailout funds are still holding back on their lending to small businesses, making it increasingly more difficult to access funds," says Jay Greenlees, president of Barter Media Solutions. "Many companies find themselves in a tight cash squeeze and feel compelled to cut back in some of the most important areas they need to continue to invest in: advertising, branding and marketing. Barter Media Solutions' $200 million dollar economic stimulus plan is designed to help any cash-strapped small or medium sized business."
Businesses need to advertise to develop branding and market awareness, to gain new clients and market share and to continue to grow. During these challenging economic times, a business needs every advantage possible to sustain and grow. The economic stimulus plan from Barter Media Solutions gives businesses this opportunity through revolving credit for the purchase of major advertising through Barter Media Solutions. Companies using the plan pay for the advertising with guaranteed new sales of their products and services. Through its $200 million dollar stimulus plan Barter Media Solutions financially guarantees each company will make new sales at least equal to the amount spent on advertising through Barter Media Solutions.
For more information about Barter Media Solutions and its stimulus plan for small to medium sized businesses, visit www.bartermediasolutions.com.
About Barter Media Solutions
Principals Marc Hatch and Jay Greenlees formed Barter Media Solutions to provide an innovative set of financing solutions to meet the growing needs of small to medium sized businesses that are finding it increasingly difficult to get access to funds to meet their advertising, branding and marketing needs.

In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Cloud and Big Data present unique dilemmas: embracing the benefits of these new technologies while maintaining the security of your organization's assets.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Hampton returning to six-man rotation
Houston (36-38) at San Diego (33-42), 9:05 p.m. CT
SAN DIEGO -- Astros manager Cecil Cooper, who said on Sunday he would never consider using a six-man rotation, had an abrupt change of heart and said Monday he plans to do just that.Beginning with Mike Hampton's start Tuesday against San Diego, the Astros will use six different starting pitchers in six games, a decision made because Houston is unable to justify removing any of its five starters from the rotation to make room for Hampton, who will come off the disabled list to start for the first time since June 12. "It's a good problem to have," Cooper said. Brian Moehler will start Wednesday and Wandy Rodriguez on Thursday against San Diego, Felipe Paulino will start Friday against San Francisco, with Russ Ortiz and Roy Oswalt to pitch the final two games of the series against the Giants. "After that, we'll kind of adjust," Cooper said. "We might end up with six [starters] through the [All-Star] break, we really don't know. That's the plan that's been discussed." The two most likely candidates to be removed from the rotation are both coming off strong starts. Paulino held Detroit to three hits and one run and struck out nine in seven innings Saturday, and Ortiz gave up six hits and two runs against the Tigers on Sunday. "You get an extra day, which is not all that bad," Ortiz said. "This last rotation everybody seemed to pitch pretty well. It's one of those things that if we're all doing well and they want to try it, then why not? If that's only going to help, lets' try it out. If it's not going to hurt anybody or do anything to anybody, then we should be totally fine." The extra day of rest could also benefit veterans Moehler and Ortiz, as well as Paulino and Hampton, both of whom have been on the disabled list this year with groin injuries. "It makes sense to do that," Cooper said. "Ortiz is coming off surgery, Paulino just came back from the DL and Hampton will be just coming off the DL. He has a history of missing starts anyway, and this is a way to protect him and Paulino a little bit -- and maybe the same for Russ. More than that, it's just difficult, because they've all pitched pretty well." Houston doesn't have another off-day before the All-Star break, but Astros general manager Ed Wade said one of the starters could be used in the completion of a postponed game against the Washington Nationals scheduled for July 9 at Minute Maid Park. "And then with the regular-scheduled game against Washington, they're back on their regular day," Wade said. Even with six capable starting pitchers and prospect Bud Norris pitching great at Triple-A Round Rock, Wade said it's too early to speculate whether the Astros could be in position to trade one of their arms. "One of the rationales associated with the move is the fact you've got Hampton and Ortiz in the rotation and both of them haven't gone more than 140 innings in five years," Wade said. "Moehler is a veteran guy who pitched a lot of innings for us last year, and I don't think an extra day is going to have an impact at all. And it buys us time to make the right decision." Pitching matchup
HOU: LHP Mike Hampton (4-5, 4.70 ERA)
Tuesday will be Hampton's first start since straining his groin on the last pitch he threw June 12 against the D-backs in Arizona. In that outing, Hampton walked a season-high five batters and gave up three runs on eight hits over five innings, taking the loss. Hampton is 4-5 with a 4.70 ERA in 12 starts this year for the Astros. He has not faced the Padres since 2005. In his career, the left-hander is 6-10 with a 5.17 ERA over 25 starts vs. San Diego. SD: RHP Josh Banks (0-0, 2.84 ERA)
Banks takes Wade LeBlanc's spot in the rotation after LeBlanc was demoted to Triple-A. Banks provided the Padres with long relief after LeBlanc was knocked out early in his last two starts. As a starter in his career, Banks has posted a 2-6 record with a 5.40 ERA over 81 2/3 innings. In five appearances as a reliever, he has a 1.64 ERA over 11 innings. Tidbits
Left fielder Carlos Lee (.347), shortstop Miguel Tejada (.341) and catcher Ivan Rodriguez (.323) were all hitting better than .320 in their careers against San Diego entering Monday. ... Closer Jose Valverde is two saves away from reaching 150 for his career. ... Third baseman Geoff Blum has committed one error in 87 games since July 26, 2008. Tickets

The Rufus McDuffie era for the Walker boys basketball team got off to a great start on Thursday with the Vikings edging visiting Jackson-Olin 57-54 at Songer Gymnasium.
"You are always glad to get a win, but there were a lot of things we didn't do as well as I expected," McDuffie said.
Thursday's game was a back-and-forth affair with the Vikings finally taking control following a Ja'Ray McElrath 3-pointer in the final minute.
"Late in the fourth quarter, Jackson-Olin took the lead for one of the few times in the game. We responded, which is a big positive for us," McDuffie said.
Walker held a slim 18-16 edge after the opening quarter and the Vikings took a 28-27 lead into the half. The game was tied 40-40 after three quarters.
For Walker (1-0), Riley Graham and Michael Bridges each had 12 points. Jonathan McCants had eight points, both Matt McKay and Brandon Thursby added six points and Aaron Morris put in five.
McDuffie replaced former coach Scotty Ware, who coached the Vikings for 10 years.
Ware resigned from his post in May, three months after going through a 6-17 record, Walker's third straight losing season.
McDuffie had a Hall of Fame career as Georgia high school coach. He won five state titles in 29 years. McDuffie took over the Walker program in July.
Walker travels to Winfield for its next game set for Tuesday.
