Another week closer to HTC's big New York event, another huge leak from the indefatigable Evleaks. This time he's taken to Google+ to show off what looks like a first-party case for the HTC M8 (a.k.a. "The New HTC One"). This case it unlike any we've seen thus far: instead of a transparent "window" like the ones that Samsung and LG have been using for their flagships, this one appears to be covered in tiny holes, allowing the screen below to flash simple messages.
My love of devices with built-in kickstands is well-documented. So it's no surprise that Lenovo's Yoga Tablet line, which is more or less built around the kickstand (or at least a big, rounded, multi-purpose hump that holds the kickstand and several other neat things) would catch my attention. The first versions were brought down by sub-par hardware, but Lenovo is back with the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, which addresses a lot of the issues with the original.
If an always-connected tablet is something your heart has always desired but your brain won't let you open your wallet long enough to pay what carriers are asking for their branded tablets, the heavens may have just opened up for you. NVIDIA is unleashing a mobile network-connected version of the the EVGA Tegra Note 7 on the world, which will be available sometime in Q2. And the timing couldn't be better – the Wi-Fi TN7 just got updated to Android 4.4.2 last night, which also brings NVIDIA's GamePad Mapper to the device.
If you have EVGA's Tegra Note 7, it's time to dive into the settings menu and grab the latest – NVIDIA is currently pushing Android 4.4.2 to the device right now.
This, of course, brings all the goodness of KitKat to the device (and makes it drastically more appealing in my opinion), so you'll want to pull this one ASAP. No word on what else is new just yet, but we'll be sure to update this post with anything that we uncover.
Nvidia's TegraZone app is primarily aimed at Tegra-powered devices, but the new update to version 2.9 opens it up to everyone. You can check out Nvidia's curated game listings if you're using a Snapdragon, Exynos, or whatever else. Keep in mind, not all the games you find will be compatible, but it can be a nice way to explore some good games
Adobe's Photoshop Express is an app we haven't actually talked about in quite some time, but with the slew of more advanced image-editing applications making their way to Android (like Snapseed, for example), Adobe thought it was time to show the aging application some love.
Today's release brings version 2.0 to the market, and it's been completely redesigned from the ground up. Adobe has taken care to ensure the app is fully compatible with KitKat, as well as optimize it to be faster than ever.
After explaining why the GPU in the just announced Tegra K1 was awesome from an architectural standpoint, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang went on to reveal that Epic Games would be bringing Unreal Engine 4 to mobile devices via the Tegra K1. Nvidia is keen on getting game developers to include improved graphics for Tegra devices, but Unreal Engine 4 support could take Tegra gaming to a whole new level.
Nvidia is having its traditional CES press event and has taken the opportunity to reveal some details on its next generation Tegra chip. Nvidia has talked about its mobile plans a little in general terms recently, but now we have a name and some specs to go on. The successor to Tegra 4 will be called the Tegra K1 and it comes in two different versions.
The headlining feature Nvidia is touting in Tegra K1 (previously codenamed Logan) is the 192-core GPU based on the desktop Kepler architecture.
Android-powered all-in-one PCs are all the rage... or at least that's what desktop manufacturers are hoping at CES. HP is the latest to enter this particular fray with the Slate21 Pro, an all-in-one design that runs any OS you want, as long as you want Android. The 21.5", 1080p IPS touchscreen hides a respectable NVIDIA Tegra 4 system underneath, with Android 4.3 and access to the Google Play Store.
This model is aimed squarely at businesses for a kiosk environment - think hotel business suites or elementary school computer labs.

Panel Urges End To U.S. Ban On Transgender Troops
By LISA LEFF
Originally printed 3/23/2014 (Issue 2212 - Between The Lines News)
The United States should join the dozen other nations that allow transgender people to serve in the armed forces, a commission led by a former U.S. surgeon general said in a report released Thursday that concludes there is no medical reason for the decades-old ban and calls on President Barack Obama to lift it.
The five-member panel, convened by a think tank at San Francisco State University, said Department of Defense regulations designed to keep transgender people out of the military are based on outdated beliefs that require thousands of current service members either to leave the service or to forego the medical procedures and other changes that could align their bodies and gender identities.
"We determined not only that there is no compelling medical reason for the ban, but also that the ban itself is an expensive, damaging and unfair barrier to health care access for the approximately 15,450 transgender personnel who serve currently in the active, Guard and reserve components," said the commission led by Dr. Joycelyn Elders, who served as surgeon general during Bill Clinton's first term as president, and Rear Adm. Alan Steinman, a former chief health and safety director for the Coast Guard.
The White House on Thursday referred questions to the Department of Defense.
"At this time there are no plans to change the department's policy and regulations which do not allow transgender individuals to serve in the U.S. military," said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a defense department spokesman.
The report says that while scholars have yet to find government documents explaining the basis for the ban, which has existed in medical fitness standards and conduct codes since the 1960s, it appears rooted in part in the psychiatric establishment's long-held consensus, since revised, that people who identity with a gender different from the one assigned at birth suffer from a mental disorder.
The ban also was apparently based on the assumption that providing hormone treatment and sex reassignment surgeries would be too difficult, disruptive and expensive. But the commission rejected those notions as inconsistent with modern medical practice and the scope of health care services routinely provided to non-transgender military personnel.
"I hope their takeaway will be we should evaluate every one of our people on the basis of their ability and what they can do, and if they have a condition we can treat we would treat it like we would treat anyone else," Elders said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The panel's work was commissioned by the Palm Center, a think tank based at San Francisco State that is funded in part by a $1.3 million grant from Jennifer Pritzker, a Chicago billionaire and former Army lieutenant colonel who came out as transgender last year.
At least a dozen nations, including Australia, Canada, England and Israel, allow transgender military personnel. Transgender rights advocates have been lobbying the Pentagon to revisit the blanket ban in the U.S. since Congress in 2010 repealed "don't ask, don't tell," the law that barred gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals from openly serving in the military.
The commission argued that facilitating gender transitions "would place almost no burden on the military," adding that a relatively small number of active and reserve service members would elect to undergo transition-related surgeries and that only a fraction might suffer complications that would prevent them from serving. It estimated that 230 transgender people a year would seek such surgery at an average cost of about $30,000.
Retired Brigadier General Thomas Kolditz, a former Army commander and West Point professor on the commission, said he thinks allowing transgender people to serve openly would reduce assaults and suicides while enhancing national security. Lawyers for Chelsea Manning, the Army private convicted of giving classified documents to WikiLeaks when she was known as Bradley Manning, presented evidence that stress over having to keep her gender identity secret contributed to an irrational belief that she could end the war in Iraq and by leaking the information.
"When you closet someone, you create a security risk, and we don't need another Chelsea Manning," Kolditz said. "If I were a commander, I certainly wouldn't want people in my unit in a position to be blackmailed."
But Center for Military Readiness President Elaine Donnelly, whose group opposed the repeal of the ban on openly gay troops, predicted that putting transgender people in barracks, showers and other sex-segregated could cause sexual assaults to increase and infringe on the privacy of non-transgender personnel.
"This is putting an extra burden on men and women in the military that they certainly don't need and they don't deserve," Donnelly said.
The commission recommends the president issue an executive order instructing the Department of Defense to amend its regulations so transgender people are no longer automatically barred. The Pentagon then would need to develop rules for assigning service members who are transitioning, said Palm Center Executive Director Aaron Belkin.
The Williams Institute, a think-tank based at the University of California, Los Angeles, estimates that the U.S. currently has about 15,500 transgender military personnel, nearly all serving under their birth genders and not transitioning in an appearance-altering way.
Army Reserve Capt. Sage Fox, 41, was one until recently. Following a deployment to Kuwait, Fox started taking female hormones, In November, with her hair getting long and her voice higher thanks to regular sessions with a speech therapist, she notified her battalion commander, whom she says expressed support. At drill time, an announcement was made to 400 colleagues at the B.T. Collins Reserve Center in Sacramento.
For a few days, Fox thought she might escape the ban. But then she was informed she had been placed on inactive status.
"When I transitioned, I wasn't just a good officer, I became a better officer because I didn't have to deal with that conflict anymore," she said.
Associated Press writer David Crary in New York contributed to this report.

I never really thought about it like that when I raced, I was only 12 and 13 at the time and just loved being on bikes. I didn't race often as the local speedway would only have juniors race once every 2 or 3 meets so I've probably only ridden in competition like 5 times. The junior bikes were signifcantly less powered than the senior equivalents, and did have emergency brakes (that were **** hard to use though). For me it was just fun. Apparently mum wasn't able to watch when I raced haha.

Omnicom posts 2.9 per cent organic revenue growth in Q1
Omnicom has reported the strongest organic revenue growth of the major holding groups in the first three months of 2013, while Havas was the only one whose revenue declined.
GlaxoSmithKline: contributed to Omnicom's strong Q1 results
According to company results for the first quarter, the owner of the BBDO and OMD networks reported the healthiest organic growth at 2.9 per cent year on year, followed by Interpublic at 2.3 per cent and WPP at 2.1 per cent.
Ian Whittaker, the head of media research at Liberum Capital, said Omnicom's solid performance owed more to its "quite low" exposure to continental Europe and the fact that the US is performing well than any wider strategic gains.
By sector, Omnicom's revenue growth from consumer product brands, such as Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline, perform-ed most strongly, up 12.2 per cent, followed by technology brands such as Apple, up 7.3 per cent.
Holding companies' revenue growth Q1 2013
|Revenue (£bn)
|Growth (%)
|Organic growth (%)
|Publicis Groupe
Despite posting only the fourth-strongest organic revenue growth at 1.3 per cent, Publicis Groupe's overall revenue growth was the highest among the big ad groups, at 7.6 per cent year on year, buoyed by acquisitions.
WPP's revenue growth was 5.9 per cent, Omnicom's was 2.8 per cent and Interpublic's was 2.4 per cent.
Havas, meanwhile, reported a revenue decline of 0.3 per cent year on year to €386 million (£325.4 million) after gains in the UK were not sufficient to mitigate falls elsewhere. On an organic basis, Havas' revenue decreased by 0.9 per cent.
Whittaker attributed Havas' weaker performance to the large proportion of its business in mainland Europe and its smaller footprint in the US.
Despite Omnicom performing the strongest on an organic basis, and Publicis Groupe in terms of overall revenue growth, Whittaker said that, "from a margin perspective", WPP was the best-performing group.

It would only take bandwidth if it crossed the divide between ATT and the customer, and then was lost. But if there are packets getting lost at that point, one would presume an equal number would be lost going outwards, in which case the customer would record them sent, but ATT would not. In other words, any packet loss should be a net nil.

Conshohocken, PA (PRWEB) April 22, 2014
Philadelphia Floor Store (PFS), a leading distributor of hardwood flooring products and accessories, started the year off with a strong green effort. The company is celebrating Earth Day by continuing its commitment to integrate holistic and sustainable business practices into its daily operations. Joe Glavin, co-owner and sales manager, is leading the charge.
In 2013, Philadelphia Floor Store reassigned Joe to their management team. In his new role, Joe has had quite an impact in just a short time. His number one priority was to introduce business practices designed to improve the customer and employee experience, while at the same time saving energy and enhancing the environment. As Glavin stated, "Operational surveillance, energy consumption awareness, and increased safety analysis go a long way in helping to support Philadelphia Floor Store's long-term business objectives."
With that in mind, the company earned the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) Chain of Custody certification from Scientific Certification Systems, one of the world's leading FSC certifiers and one of FSC's founding members. FSC provides third-party certification confirming that materials sold as FSC certified are harvested from well-managed forest operations.
The company also partnered with TerraSol Energies Inc. to retrofit all the existing lighting fixtures in both their warehouse and showroom. This major undertaking included the installation of new ballasts, long-life fluorescent bulbs, and reflectors. Motion sensors were also installed to provide additional energy savings, while outside lights were replaced with LED wall packs with day-light sensors. Mike Glavin, PFS Founder, was immediately on board. "We understand that as business owners we have specific economic, environmental and social responsibilities, and this endeavor strongly supported our sustainable business goals," said Glavin.
The results were astounding. According to TerraSol Energies, Philadelphia Floor Store's average increase in light level is 4 to 4.5 times the original output, while the company's energy savings is conservatively estimated to be 40%. According to Joe Glavin, "In addition to the numerous benefits from a cost-savings and energy efficiency standpoint, proper lighting and an open organized space also has a direct impact on our team members' perception and productivity. Lighting also affects the customer's ability to accurately detect the characteristics of the wood, thereby minimizing observation mistakes." The company estimates an overall annual energy savings of more than $6,000.
PFS also recently introduced a single-stream recycling program, and the company is always on the lookout for business practices that can substantially reduce their carbon footprint. According to Mike Glavin, "This is just the beginning. Throughout the remainder of 2014 and beyond, we will strive to implement sustainable practices that enhance our management systems, streamline operations, reduce costs, and stimulate innovation in all aspects of our business."
About FSC
Scientific Certification Systems is the leader in environmental and sustainability certification. One of the first certification bodies accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council in 1996, SCS has since certified more than 30 million acres of well-managed forests and 3000 companies in the FSC supply chain worldwide. Philadelphia Floor Store's trademark license code is FSC-C114766.

Hide like 30 pistols on your person that way if anyone actually does try to grab you like a bunch of pistols fall out of your clothes and then they're like wtf why do you have so many guns and you'll be like you're on the one way train to deadville pancho
That's pretty bad. If you can't get your hands on a taser, try basic self-defense. The way I was taught, martial arts are just a fancy way of making an opening to run away. If that's not an option (and it will be an option 99% of the time), your primary objective is to make your attacker unable to attack you. And never fight fair. Fighting fair is for ego fights and sports.Thought about it; no flippin' clue. I should find out, though. A girl got raped in the staircase of the school library last year. :|
you see, there is no fairness in fighting. And again, those situations are about control and there is no better control than being a good runner.
I always been considered (somewhat jokingly) the creeper.

Ellington may be boost Cards' offense needs
Originally published: Oct 14, 2013 - 3:16 pm
Oliver Twist asked for more gruel and touched off a meaningful rebellion.
Bruce Dickinson asked for more cowbell and the Blue Oyster Cult soared into stardom.
So, don't be ashamed, Cardinals fans, to ask for more Andre Ellington. It might just be the kick in the pants the offense needs.
The sixth-round pick out of Clemson impressed the coaching staff during training camp, enough that he earned a roster spot -- just not much playing time. Ellington had one touch in the season opener, but his role in the offense has expanded each week, climbing from six touches in week two to 12 in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.
Following Ellington's best statistical game of the season -- 92 total yards and a touchdown against the 49ers -- the climb isn't likely to end. At least it shouldn't.
Good things happen when Ellington gets the ball. His 7.0 yards per carry is more than twice the average of starting running back Rashard Mendenhall. Ellington's 8.3 yards per touch creates an even bigger gap between he and Mendenhall, who averages 3.7 yards each time he touches the ball.
In addition, Ellington has more catches (18) for more yards (180) than No. 3 receiver Andre Roberts (15, 150), despite having been the target of fewer passes. The rookie has also scored twice (once more than Michael Floyd) and hasn't fumbled (Larry Fitzgerald has).
And I've saved the rookie's most impressive stat for last: Ellington moves the chains.
He's picked up a first down a remarkable 19 times on just 43 chances. That's a 44 percent conversion rate. Mendenhall is earning a first down 20 percent of the time.
Heck, Adrian Peterson only moves the chains 24 percent of the time, and NFL yardage leader LaSean McCoy converts 29 percent of the time.
Granted, Ellington plays mostly on third down, but when the cat is making the entire chain gang move nearly every other time he's touching the ball, one has to wonder if it's time to expand his role.
Andre Ellington has been the most pleasant surprise of the Cardinals' season thus far. And with a crucial game looming Thursday against Seattle, a storyline to monitor is whether Bruce Arians will continue to use No. 38 in a role that seems to suit him, or rather develop a fever where the only prescription is more Ellington.

Good for VIZIO Customers and Good for the Environment
Blog By: Ken Lowe, Vice President and Co-Founder of VIZIO
For the 2013 model year all VIZIO LCD televisions use LED backlights.
The old method of creating the light was by CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) tubes. These are similar in operation to the fluorescent tube lamps that are commonplace in stores and offices and like these lamps each CCFL contains a small amount of mercury. Because of this, care has to be taken when recycling these older LCD TVs because the CCFLs have to be removed unbroken to be disposed of separately ensuring the mercury is recovered.
Another important factor for using LED is that they consume less electricity so that the total power taken by the LCD LED HDTV is significantly less than previous ones. The average power taken by one of our 32" Class size LCE LED HDTVs is about the same as a 25W incandescent light bulb. This not only means that it costs less in electricity for our Customers to use their television, it means less demand for electricity and hopefully removing the need to build another power station.
A big bonus with using an LED Backlight is that it also helps improve the quality of the picture, allowing us to use techniques such as local dimming. It has always been difficult to produce black with LCD panels. It can seem weird to talk about producing nothing (no light) but when there is still light shining behind the LCD panel it is an enormous task to prevent all of the light from getting through. With local dimming we are able to reduce the amount of light being emitted by LEDS in areas where the video is dark so the picture is dark, improving the overall picture quality.

Altera backs OpenCL and WebCL for growth into the server market
July 10, 2012 // Nick Flaherty
Altera sees significant growth for FPGAs in the server market from the OpenCL family of multi-core programming languages says its head of strategy.
"I can't over-emphasise the importance of OpenCL," said Danny Biran, senior vice president of strategy for the company speaking in London. "Now we see a lot of momentum behind it and I believe this is a very significant opportunity," he said.
OpenCL provides a C-like language for programming devices with multiple cores – whether general purpose, DSP or hardwired - and offers software programmers a way to programme FPGAs without having to use VHDL or Verilog. The standard's backers include Apple, Intel, Texas Instruments and Nvidia.
Altera's OpenCL compiler will be included in the Quartus design tool in Q1 next year and work with the new Qsys network-on-a-chip tool.
Moves to port OpenCL to the World Wide Web to create WebCL were also welcomed by Biran. "For us WebCL is a positive move as with OpenCL on the Web we see more opportunities in the server space," he said. "The idea of taking the server software and offloading it to an FPGA is very exciting."
This is creating opportunities in the banking sector says Steve Dodsworth, sales director for Europe. "We are talking with people in the Square Mile and Canary Wharf, with quantitative analysts, about using OpenCL "

As parents we send young folk to college to grow and learn. Naiveté and alcohol lay in wait as tinder for trouble. It's important to understand this and examine it, and find ways to stem it so that there are less victims and less young men whose futures have been derailed by an ill-advised, momentary capitalization on impulse.
Recently, journalists from across the country have rushed to defend campus rapists and allowed men's rights activists to successfully infiltrate op-ed columns. For those of us who are survivors of sexual assault, we haven't been nearly as lucky.
It's true, most of us will never have the resources to be major financial players in political campaigns. Our advocacy lies in our voice, and in our wallets.
Perhaps George Will has other "points" to make. Perhaps George Will has a different concept of "coveted status" than much of the sane and compassionate world does.
The written word is a vehicle for social change. The stroke of a pen can incite a call to action against unquestioned forms of injustice. For decades, journalism has been used as a medium to advance women's rights movements.
We know that a coordinated community response -- one that relies on partnerships with student groups, campus police, community victim services organizations, campus ministries, and school officials -- is what is required to turn the tide on this issue.
Cases involving drugs or alcohol may be challenging to investigate if the victim is impaired. But that makes it all the more important to conduct a thorough investigation to put the evidence together.
We need to stop presenting college as a time when women can and should be getting perfect grades, have legendary social lives and universally satisfying sexual experiences and instead present it as a nuanced experience full of all kinds of emotional, psychological and academic experiences that are different for women.
We whisper and gossip. We hope our daughters are not rounding up their girlfriends to go to parties like this. We hope our sons wouldn't drop a roofy, rohypnol, into the glass of an unsuspecting girl with the express intent of raping her. We hope.
Ending sexual assault is not a "women's issue," and until we change our thinking to include everyone in the effort, we won't begin to see a significant decline in this form of violence. This move toward a more inclusive community approach has gained traction in the last decade, a trend I've noticed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Sexual assaults are among the most difficult and complex cases in the criminal justice system. Allowing untrained amateurs to work on these cases is demeaning to victims and unfair to those accused. Then they should get out of the way and let professionals do the job.
I believe this form of victim-blaming, in which intoxicated individuals are deemed responsible for what happens to them, enables sexual assault of drunk and, especially, unconscious victims, to occur.

Sansi Pedralbes Review
A contemporary polished-marble-and-black-glass box, with Japanese overtones, a stone's throw from the gardens of the Monestir de Pedralbes, this hotel may be a bit removed from the action downtown, but there's a stop on the Bus Turistic just across the street, and the views up into the Collserola Hills above Barcelona are splendid. Rooms are well outfitted with plasma-screen TVs and copious amounts of blond wood. From here, it's a 15-minute climb to Carretera de les Aigües, Barcelona's best running track, across the side of the mountain behind the city, and the air in this part of town can be a welcome relief. The Sansi gets more executive travelers than tourists (one of Europe's major graduate schools of business administration is right nearby), so the staff runs a tight ship.

I did not see the mermaid as being killed as she is depicted, smoking, but eyes open after the explosion. I also believe that the corrupted half 'lived' due to the amorphous blooping in the coda. Saying "I prevailed" only shows that one prevailed and that they both considered themselves real.

I have nothing on whether Pearl commits suicide, or what is going on there. That she throws a fish themed thing away seems to symbolise her severing from Twain, but I do not think she suicides.OR I think perhaps she is demonstrating a cure has worked. And that she is ready to go back into the world, perhaps to travel with Twain as planned? Or perhaps, as symbolised by her removal of all things marine, she has split from him. Her pose is just too strong for a suicide.

 I do have a fascination with her illness though. It leaves her legless, like a mermaid. And her standing and using legs again does seem somewhat meaningful.

Gerling, Austria isn't the usual destination for holiday travellers. It is located near Saltzberg which is much more popular. However, Gerling has fantastic places to stay and things to do nearby. Cheap Flights to Australia can be sought quite often when booked in advance, however peak times will incur higher charges.
The Amber Residenz Bavaria provides 171 guestrooms many of which open onto private balconies. All the units have refrigerators, in-room safes, desks, bathrooms with shower/tub combinations and handheld showerheads. The windows open so guests can enjoy the clean, crisp mountain air from this hotel on the cliffs. From this fantastic hotel, holiday visitors enjoy many short excursions to a multitude of attractions. Some have often compared the attractions to that of Hobart, Australia.
Krimmel's impressive waterfalls are visible from the Gerlos Alpine road. There are several steps down the falls which combine to a total distance of a 380 meters fall. They are the fifth highest waterfalls in the world and the highest in Europe. An enjoyable hiking path travels along the waterfalls winding to the top. It provides amazing views of the falls from several vantage points. The sun forms rainbows in the mist from the rushing waters. It does take some endurance and time to reach the top of the waterfall at 430 meters.
The Hintertuxer Gletscher (Hintertux Glacier) is the home of one of Europe's biggest year-round skiing destinations. High-tech lifts can carry 3,000 skiers an hour from the bottom five villages to the top where even summer skiing is availablee. For non-skiers there are more than 250 kilometres of hiking trails and other activities such as paragliding, canyon climbing, flying fox, and caving. At Hintertuxer those who love romantic, wild mountains, powder skiing, and views of endless peaks find them all.
KletterGarten is a fantastic climbing area with "rock" cliffs, hanging rope bridges and holding lines. For a few euros each member of the family experiences climbing every way imaginable. One Sunday a month a "Night in the Trees" provides a climb in the wild forest, meals cooked over a campfire, supervised sleeping on platforms in the treetops and open air, and a breakfast at a woodland inn.
Schloss Goldegg is a great medieval castle with a marvelous restaurant on site. Throughout the year various cultural events take place there which are well worth attending. One of these is the Goldegger Blues & Folk Days. This is a two-day benefit open-air concert highlighting four or five bands each night impressing with folk music and blues. When scheduling a holiday in Gerling, check the Schloss' for its current events.
Not only does Gerling have fantastic tourist attraction, but the local enjoys a busy little metropolis of business, banking, life insurance, shopping and more.

Fernando Torres
30-Year-Old Forward AC Milan Serie A
August 29, 2014 Fernando Torres News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres has joined AC Milan on a two-year loan deal.
Torres has failed to live up to his pricey transfer fee while at Stamford Bridge, which meant he found himself on the substitutes bench more often than not. He should receive regular starts for Milan, with whom he'll try to re-gain his long-absent goalscoring form. It is rather interesting that the deal is for two seasons, though either way it's highly unlikely Torres will don a Chelsea shirt ever again.

Fernando Torres: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
August 27, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
AC Milan is in discussions with Chelsea in an effort to bring Torres to Italy, reports the Daily Mail.
Reports suggest that Milan are willing to meet Chelsea's valuation, and will only need to secure terms with Torres and his exit payment to complete the agreement.
August 23, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres was left out of the 18-man squad that faced Leicester City on Saturday, as speculation continues to mount that he will be moved this summer.
Torres was an unused substitute for Chelsea's Premier League opener against Burnley on Monday, and there appears to be little upside to staying at Stamford Bridge, as he is firmly stuck behind Diego Costa and Didier Drogba on the depth chart. A number of teams have shown interest in Torres, although manager Jose Mourinho continues to say that he is not for sale.
August 21, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Roma has asked Chelsea about the possibility of bringing Torres to Italy, reports the Daily Mail.
Chelsea has previously said that the striker is not for sale, but Roma is offering Mattia Destro in exchange to help sweeten the deal. Chelsea have brought in two strikers this summer, Diego Costa and Didier Drogba.
July 31, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres will not be sold this summer, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has told Sky Sports.
It's safe to say Torres, who joined the Blues for �50 million in 2011, has been a huge disappointment at the club so far. Nonetheless, Mourinho is happy with the three strikers (Torres, Diego Costa and Didier Drogba) at his disposal and will not be selling the Spaniard, at least for now. Time is certainly running out for Torres to re-discover his form, however.
July 23, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Monaco has joined Atletico Madrid in pursuit of a transfer of Torres, reports the Daily Mail.
Atletico Madrid had been the most likely contender for the striker, but reports suggest the player is open to all offers. Chelsea is rumored to be looking for a �20 million transfer fee.
June 23, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres scored in the 69th minute of Spain's 3-0 win over Australia at the World Cup on Monday.
Torres has now scored 39 international goals for Spain in 111 appearances, which dwarfs his 20 goals for Chelsea in his 110 appearances for the club. With Chelsea expected to bring in striker Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid this summer, it is unclear what his future holds at Stamford Bridge.

Torres admitted that he is unsure about his future with Chelsea and wouldn't mind returning to Atletico Madrid to play under former teammate Diego Simeone, according to Sky Sports.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been vocal about the lack of goals from his current set of strikers, and has been linked with a number of players. Torres has two years remaining on his current contract with the club.

Absolutely gorgeous pictures!
I lived in Aberdeen for a year but I don't remember it due to being a tot at the time. However, I remember visiting Loch Ness, Eriskay, and many of the other places you mentioned many years later when I lived in England. Did a lot of climbing with my father (predominantly in the Glencoe area, but really we made the Highlands our playground) up in your neck of the woods during the 8 years I was back in the UK.. Thanks for the fond reminders!
Ahh.. that's where we were introduced to Runrig and Silly Wizard.. Good times!
Beautiful country, beautiful writeup!

Sports Fan Insider
HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – On Tuesday, Gary Kubiak made it clear that he was not happy with third round draft pick Brandon Brooks' weight. Officially listed at 6-foot-5 and 346 pounds Brooks is the heaviest player on the Texans roster. Brooks was labeled overweight, and officially outweighed all other offensive lineman by at least 26 pounds.
On Wednesday, Brooks addressed Kubiak's concern.
"I got my weight down," Brooks said. "I'm 11 pounds lighter now and [Kubiak] is a good coach so he's supposed to be … making sure I'm doing everything I need to do."
Brooks, who was around 353 pounds when he was drafted, attributed the sudden weight loss to "Just watching what I eat, being out here at practice."
It's difficult to believe that Brooks could be able to lose 11 pounds in a single day. However, by Wednesday Kubiak acknowledged his improvement.
"He's got a lot of ability and he can help this team, these young guys have to learn how important it is every day to be accountable… he bounced back today and he was better."
By the end of rookie minicamp on Thursday, Kubiak dismissed questions about Brooks' weight issues with a smile saying: "He's doing good, he's alright."
With rookie minicamp officially over and training camp set to begin on July 28th, the pressure is on Brooks to keep the weight off and remain healthy.

London's Tate Modern has put Mark Rothko's mural Black on Maroon back on display more than a year and a half after it was defaced with black ink by a vandal trying to draw attention to an obscure artistic movement. The gallery has spent 18 months working on the abstract painting, whose surface is made up of layers of oil, pigment, resin, egg and glue. Tate experts said the ink soaked in as far as the back of the canvas, requiring delicate work to remove it and restore the painting's layers.

Customer Comments
I appreciated the quick response to my order. I had not been able to get this particular fragrance at the departments stores in our area. I was glad to be able to see that this fragrance was available from your company online and at a slightly lower price than some other online companies.

I first found this product whilst on holiday in Italy and paid a lot more than your price for it. I have been unable to find it here in the UK so I was over the moon to find it on your site. I really love it and the 'tester' packs are an even better buy.
I always get compliments about the smell from men and women.
I am really pleased with the service which you provide as it is very fast and the packaging does not allow any breakages. Well done, keep up the good work.
Most Liked Negative Review
Great bottle, weak perfume
A good perfume for someone who likes to smell very understated, but it doesn't hold for long. Interesting smell, like the backstage of a theatre, slightly musky and warm.

Are You Obsessed With Designer Labels?
Are You a Label Junkie?
As they say, it's what's on the inside that counts. Especially, when you're talking about a really chic bouclé jacket and what's on the inside is a Chanel label.
Well, we can't all own the latest releases from the name brands, but we can certainly save up our paychecks and scavenge the sales to bring a piece of that luxury to our closets (however so humble they may be). So put your logo lust to the test by checking off all the brands you own, and find out if you are a true label ho.
