text: The Best and Worst Skin of 2011 The 2012 Skinnies: Best and Worst Skin of the Year by Lacey Gattis 1/20/12 4 Reactions 9 Shares Print 0 3 6 0 0 Every year, dermatologist Dr. Vail Reese tackles Hollywood's best and worst skin moments, from inaccurate portrayals of plastic surgery results to the best celebrity complexions. This year's winners come from as far afield as Sweden and the wilds of reality TV. So check out Dr. Reese's picks for the very best (and worst) of last year's famous skin. Source: WireImage The Impossible Scarless Face Transplant What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Recently, two films have featured entire facial reconstructions that resulted in zero scarring. First, there were those weird "twins" and the villainous brother in Sherlock Holmes 2, and then there was Antonio Banderas's victim in The Skin I Live In, a movie about a plastic surgeon who kidnaps a man and turns him into a replica of his dead wife. "The result, played by actress Elena Anaya, is not just scar-free, but by most conventional standards, super hot," Dr. Reese jokes. "In reality, extensive plastic surgery cannot be achieved without significant scarring." Basically, Face Off is still quite a ways in the future. Source: WireImage 1 / 7 Finally, a Tattooed Hero What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Typically, characters with lots of ink have been bad guys and miscreants. But with her phreaking ways in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Lisbeth Salander has changed all that. In fact, tattoos in general are both more popular and more accepted than ever. However, having cool ink no longer means a lifetime commitment. "Researchers as clever as Lisbeth have developed a new version of tattoo ink called InfinitInk," Dr. Reese explains. "While it looks like a normal tattoo, the pigment is primed for a more efficient response to laser treatments. The makers claim that it clears three times faster that normal skin ink." Source: WireImage 2 / 7 Cellulite: Still Not Curable What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It seems like every week, there's a new treatment out to "cure" cellulite. "Yet," asks Dr. Reese, "if any of these treatments were effective, even at a cost that only the top one percent of the 'One Percent' could consider, wouldn't someone like Jennifer Lopez leap (and shimmy) at the chance?" He points out that, like most of us, Jennifer has a little bit of the stuff, and that even the most beautiful women can't avoid it. "Unless one wants to selflessly invest in the economy, creating jobs for those toiling on these 'treatments' that show no impressive track record, it's probably better to eat right, enjoy exercise, and use sunscreen to maintain the glamour," he adds. Source: WireImage 3 / 7 Kim Kardashian's Psoriasis What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes while bringing attention to herself, Kim Kardashian also raises awareness. This past year on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim let cameras roll as she was diagnosed with psoriasis. "Though not Kontagious, psoriasis is triggered by genetic signals, and currently there is no Kure," according to Dr. Reese. Source: WireImage 4 / 7 The Beauty Mark Wins Out What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Everybody loves a beauty mark, whether it's on Michelle Williams in her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe or worn by Lady Gaga. And these little moles aren't just a Hollywood thing, either. "The beauty mark had an established career before the invention of celluloid," explains Dr. Reese "[They were] used to heighten the features of the aristocracy. Some have postulated that marks were used to conceal small pox scars." These days, a creatively placed "beauty mark" is also a good way to cover a zit. Source: WireImage 6 / 7 A Wart on Michelle Bachmann's Record What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Attacking the HPV vaccine might seem illogical, but in 2011 presidential candidate Michele Bachmann did just that. "A parent had told her that her vaccinated daughter suffered mental retardation as a result," says Dr. Reese. However, "in the clinical trials, one percent of recipients had side effects, and eight percent of those were serious, but none involved mental problems." Source: WireImage 6 / 7 Having Herpes = Being a Villain? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In this year's big hit The Help, Bryce Dallas Howard's racist character, Hilly Holbrook, is "punished" with an increasingly huge cold sore. "We take issue with the concept that herpes is a marker for evil," says Dr. Reese. "This common infection strikes all comers, no matter the direction of their moral compass. Often triggered by sun exposure and emotional or physical stress, outbreaks can be painful and decidedly un-glamorous." And given that almost 58 percent of Americans have some strain of the herpes simplex virus, villifying sufferers cruelly marginalizes a huge segment of the population.

Tories: MP who organised Nazi-themed stag do 'stupid'
A Tory MP who organised a Nazi-themed stag party in France has been branded "stupid and offensive" by an internal inquiry by the party.
Aidan Burley was sacked as a ministerial aide in 2011 after the groom was pictured wearing an SS uniform in the Alpine ski resort of Val Thoren.
The inquiry has now been made public by the Conservatives after French legal proceedings were concluded.
The party's report found that while "Mr Burley is not a bad man, still less a racist or anti-Semite", his actions were "unacceptable and offensive".

Live Like A Movie Star in the Hollywood Hills!
This property is heaven-on-earth and I feel so unbelievably blessed to have stayed here for a week! It was the perfect fit for what me and my two children (ages 13 and 15) were looking for in a Hollywood vacation spot. With only a mile or so to go before arriving at our rental home, I was momentarily worried that it would be too close to the hustle and bustle of Hollywood Boulevard. Yet, as soon as I hooked a quick left onto Outpost Drive and started weaving my way through the mansions lining this snaking mountain passageway, I knew that I had nothing to fear. "I feel like a movie star," said my typically unimpressed daughter as we passed gated estates and pulled out onto Mullholland Drive. The fully-equipped kitchen (stove, refrigerator, oven, toaster, dishwasher, etc.) boasts all the appliances and utensils necessary to prepare a Thanksgiving feast! My daughter loved her bedroom, which, in addition to having a DVD player and big-screen TV, afforded her the opportunity to walk out her own personal sliding glass door and enjoy views of beautiful Runyon Canyon. The master bedroom is equally impressive with its two full-sized closets, sliding glass doors, and spacious king sized bed. I awoke every day and immediately walked out onto the private patio to take in the morning sunshine. Bathrooms are often a make-it-or-break-it situation for me when it comes to renting vacation homes. This property, thankfully, offers a recently remodeled bathroom (full spacious shower, plenty of counter space, wrap-around mirrors) that is actually bigger and nicer than either of my two bathrooms at home! Clearly, I could go on and on about the countless perks that this rental property has to offer (e.g., linens, washer and dryer, inside and outside dining tables, wifi) but what I appreciated most about this home was its location. It's literally a convenient mile or two from touristy downtown Hollywood. Yet, despite its proximity, this home is protected from that commotion by the beautiful Hollywood Hills. Drive down LaBrea Avenue and you are quickly in Beverly Hills. Continue a little further and you will arrive at Santa Monica Pier/Beach, a pleasant jaunt we made several times during our week in the Los Angeles area. Frances is such a nice woman and she gave us the privacy we wanted but was only a quick phone call or email away if we needed anything. Needless to say, we would rent this home again in a heartbeat and we truly hope to do so again soon.
Simply awesome!
This property exceeded any and all of my expectations. It was incredibly clean, had every thing anyone could ever need and more. I really felt like I was at home. the pool, jacuzzi and view that goes with it is spectacular. we hope we can visit again soon! Art is the BEST!
Great location! Walking distance of everything
Couldn't be happier! Owner was extremely nice and professional. The home was cozy and had everything we needed and more. Updated everything! Beds were so comfy and you can walk anywhere from the home. Very pleased coming back for sure. Thank Jan!!

|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (May 2012)
Q-Systems are a method of directed graph transformations according to given grammar rules, developed at the Université de Montréal by Alain Colmerauer in 1967--70 for use in natural language processing. The Université de Montréal's machine translation system, TAUM-73, used the Q-Systems as its language formalism.
The data structure manipulated by a Q-system is a Q-graph, which is a directed acyclic graph with one entry node and one exit node, where each arc bears a labelled ordered tree. An input sentence is usually represented by a linear Q-graph where each arc bears a word (tree reduced to one node labelled by this word). After analysis, the Q-graph is usually a bundle of 1-arc paths, each arc bearing a possible analysis tree. After generation, the goal is usually to produce as many paths as desired outputs, with again one word per arc.
A Q-System consists of a sequence of Q-treatments, each being a set of Q-rules, of the form <matched_path> == <added_path> [<condition>]. The Q-treatments are applied in sequence, unless one of them produces the empty Q-graph, in which case the result is the last Q-graph obtained. The three parts of a rule can contain variables for labels, trees, and forests. All variables after "==" must appear in the <matched_path> part. Variables are local to rules.
A Q-treatment works in two steps, addition and cleaning. It first applies all its rules exhaustively, using instantiation (one-way unification), thereby adding new paths to the current Q-graph (added arcs and their trees can be used to produce new paths). If and when this addition process halts, all arcs used in some successful rule application are erased, as well as all unused arcs that are no more on any path from the entry node to the exit node. Hence, the result, if any (if the addition step terminates), is again a Q-graph. That allows several Q-Systems to be chained, each of them performing a specialized task, together forming a complex system. For example, TAUM 73 consisted of fifteen chained Q-Systems.
An extension of the basic idea of the Q-Systems, namely to replace instantiation by unification (to put it simply, allow "new" variables in the right hand side part of a rule, and replace parametrized labelled trees by logical terms) led to Prolog, designed by Alain Colmerauer and Philippe Roussel in 1972. Refinements in the other direction (reducing non-determinism and introducing typed labels) by John Chandioux led to GramR, used for programming METEO from 1985 onward.
In 2009, Hong Thai Nguyen of GETALP GETALP, LIG (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble) reimplemented the Q-language in C, using ANTLR to compile the Q-systems and the Q-graphs, and an algorithm proposed by Christian Boitet (as none had been published and sources of the previous Fortran implementation had been lost). That implementation was corrected, completed and extended (to labels using Unicode characters and not only the printable characters of the CDC6600 of the historical version) by David Cattanéo in 2010-11.
The METEO System is a Very High Quality Machine Translation system for weather bulletins that has been in operational use at Environment Canada from 1982 to 2001. It stems from a prototype developed in 1975-76 by the TAUM Group, known as TAUM-METEO. As many authors confuse the prototype with the actual system, a bit of history is in order.
The initial motivation to develop that prototype was that a junior translator came to TAUM to ask for help in doing the extremely boring (and at the same time difficult) job of translating weather bulletins at Environment Canada he had to do at that time.
Indeed, since all official communications emanating from the Canadian government must be available in French and English, because of the official bilingual services act of 1968, and weather bulletins represent a large amount of translation in real time, junior translators had to spend several months of purgatory producing first draft translations, then revised by seniors. That was in fact a quite difficult job, because of the specificities of the English and French sublanguages used, and not very motivating, as the lifetime of a bulletin is only 4 hours.
TAUM proposed to build a prototype MT system, and Environment Canada accepted to fund the project. A prototype was ready after a few months, with a crude integration in the workflow of translation (source and target bulletins travelled over telex lines at the time and MT was performed on a mainframe). The first version of the system (METEO 1) went into operation on a Control Data 7600 supercomputer in March 1977.
John Chandioux then left the TAUM group to manage its operation and improve it, while the TAUM group embarked on a very different project (TAUM-aviation, 1977–81). With Benoit Thouin and one year later alone, he made lots of improvements to the initial prototype, and transformed it into a really operational system. After 3 years, METEO 1 had demonstrated the feasibility of microcomputer-based machine translation to the satisfaction of the Canadian government's Translation Bureau.
METEO 1 was formally adopted in 1981, replacing the junior translators in the workflow. Because of the need for very high quality, the revision step, done by senior translators, was maintained. The quality, measured as the percentage of edit operations (inserting or deleting a word counts as 1, replacing as 2) on the MT results, reached 85% in 1985.
Until that time, the MT part was still implemented as a sequence of Q-systems. The [Q-systems] formalism is a rule-based SLLP (Specialized Language for Linguistic Programming) invented by Alain Colmerauer in 1967 as he was a postdoc coopérant at the TAUM group. (He invented the famous Prolog language in 1972 after returning to France and becoming a university professor in Marseille-Luminy.)
As the engine of the Q-systems is highly non-deterministic, and the manipulated data structures are in some far too simple, without any types such as string or number, J. Chandioux encountered limitations in his efforts to raise translation quality and lower computation time to the point he could run it on microcomputers.
In 1981, he decided to create a new SLLP, or metalanguage for linguistic applications, based on the same basic algorithmic ideas as the Q-systems, but more deterministic, and offering typed labels on tree nodes. Following the advices of Bernard Vauquois and Alain Colmerauer, he created GramR, and developed it for microcomputers.
In 1982, he could start developing in GramR a new system for translating the weather bulletins on a high-end Cromemco microcomputer. METEO 2 went into operation in 1983. The software then ran in 48Kb of central memory with a 5Mb hard disk for paging. METEO 2 is believed to have been the first MT application to run on a microcomputer.
In 1985, the system had nothing left of the initial prototype, and was officially renamed METEO. It translated about 20 M words per year from English into French, and 10 M words from French into English, with a quality of 97%. Typically, it took only 4 minutes for a bulletin in English to be sent from Winnipeg and come back in French after MT and human revision.
In 1996, John Chandioux developed a special version of his system (METEO 96) which was used to translate the weather forecasts (different kinds of bulletins) issued by the US Weather Service during the Atlanta Olympic Games.
The latest known version of the system, METEO 5, dates from 1997 and ran on a standard IBM PC network under Windows NT. It translated 10 pages per second, while occupying so little space that it fitted on a 1.44Mb diskette. It seems that Chandioux lost his contract with Environment Canada in 2001 or 2002 to a competitor. The hot legal debate which followed was once described in Wikipedia, but that article seems to have disappeared. No document could be found on Environment Canada website on which system is currently in use (in 2011).

UPDATE 2: Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino further clarified his tweet telling fans not to believe everything they read, explaining why he voluntarily checked himself into treatment.
"I want to set the record straight. I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion. I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule. I appreciate my fans support and love you guys," he told the website SitchNews.com.
UPDATE 1: "The Situation" tweeted early Wednesday morning, responding to reports that he's entered rehab.
Do NOT Believe Everything You Hear, Especially from TMZ sitchnews.com/475/do-not-bel…— Michael Sorrentino (@ItsTheSituation) March 21, 2012
An insider close to Sorrentino tells RadarOnline the reality star is in rehab because of a prescription pill addiction and adds that the 29-year-old was the one seeking help, checking himself into the facility.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has entered rehab, TMZ reports.
The "Jersey Shore" star is battling substance abuse, according to TMZ's source. Sitch's rep would neither confirm nor deny that he entered rehab, but said he "has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule."
It's been a rough few weeks for the always-entertaining "Shore" star (as far as rough weeks for reality TV show stars go). After co-stars Snooki and JWoww speculated publicly about his sexuality, Sitch's buddy The Unit attempted to set the record straight. Sorrentino himself slammed the rumors and said he was concerned they could hurt his brand relationships, as he claims most of his products target straight men.
He did, however, make a cameo appearance on ABC's show "Suburgatory," in which he plays a DJ who is a character's ex-boyfriend.
For more on the Situation, check out our list of 25 things you never knew about the reality star, and head over to TMZ for updates on his stint in rehab.
Check out some other stars who've battled addiction.
After years of struggling with cocaine and heroin addiction and serving jail time, the actor is clean and sober.
Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home on July 23, 2011. The 27-year-old singer's life was cut short due to accidental alcohol poisoning. CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this slideshow, the date Ms. Winehouse died was incorrect. She died on July 23, 2011.
The 25-year-old actress has spent the last five years in and out of rehab and still stuggles to stay sober today.
In February 2011 Charlie Sheen claimed he was clean of drugs and alcohol, but high on himself. The actor has publicity struggled with addiction for years, but many doubt his claims of sobriety.
Drew was famously an addict as a child. By her own admission she said she had her first drink at 9, began smoking marijuana at 10 and began using cocaine at 12. By age 13 she entered rehab and has maintained her sobriety since.
The comedian overcame a cocaine addiction, but headed back to rehab after 20 years of sobriety in 2006 to address his issues with alcohol.
The Black Eyed Peas singer kicked a crystal meth and ecstasy habit.
An accidental overdose of prescription medication killed the actor on Jan. 22, 2008.

Breast ultrasound can help diagnose breast cancer and guide a biopsy, but a new ultrasound technique could determine whether a lump is cancerous based on the elasticity, or stretchiness of the lesion. Elasticity imaging is a modification of regular ultrasound and gauges how the tissue moves and how soft or hard it is. The greater the movement or elasticity the greater the likelihood the lump is malignant. In a study presented at a recent meeting of the Radiological Society of North America the non-invasive ultrasound technique was nearly 100 percent accurate.
You might think that work's a real pain which might be true if you spend your days sitting up straight at your desk. A study by the University of Alberta Hospital in Canada used a special type of MRI called positional MRI to get a view of people sitting at desks. The 90 degree posture which most people use puts the greatest strain on the spine and while slouching is normally frowned upon the most favorable position was slightly reclined with feet flat on the floor.
Kids can't help but make noise when they play but noisy toys are another story. A recent study by NOVA Southeastern University in Florida looked at the so called sound pressure level of children's toys. While toys are supposed to meet mandated decibel levels 70 percent of the toys tested exceeded those levels. Researchers are concerned that regular exposure to high noise levels could lead to permanent hearing loss.

An amazing palette Lynda that somehow adds a touch of brackishness to this bathysphere's dive into a Fifty's cinematic moment… or memory moment… or a Fifties moment cinematically recalled? So much mystery made tingly by that powerful palette.. What? A faded Kodacolor… NO!… an Agfachrome snap that snaps me onto a story arc. Terrific!

NFL commissioner comments on Missouri draft prospect Aaron Wilson
Days after Missouri defensive end and NFL draft prospect Michael Sam's ground-breaking announcement that he's gay, NFL commissioener Roger Goodell expressed support for him.
Goodell, who has a gay brother, commented on Sam at Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition "Wall Street Project" in New York City. The Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year is projected as a third-round to fifth-round draft target and is set to become the first openly gay player in the NFL.
"Good for him," Goodell said. "He's proud of who he is and had the courage to say it. Now he wants to play football. We have a policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. We will have further training and make sure that everyone understands our commitment. We truly believe in diversity and this is an opportunity to demonstrate it."

Participants in the Pamphlet Architecture 30 competition were asked to respond to the theme "Investigations in Infrastructure," and propose new directions for architecture, transportation, energy, cities, and agriculture at a continental scale. The winning entry, Coupling, imagined six daring projects: a high-speed rail system across the Bering Strait that also collects freshwater from the seasonal iceshelf; a decommissioned airport transformed into a geothermal data farm and agriculture site; thickening on/off ramps around "big box" stores into circular parking lots; a call to include landfills in the list of preserved open spaces; and a saline terminal lake turned into a water farm, recreational retreat, and habitat haven. Coupling argues that infrastructures behave as artificially maintained natural systems. Rather than a New Deal approach of massive engineering or iconic infrastructure, Coupling employs adaptable, responsive, small-scale interventions whose impacts are global in scale.

Omniscience, also sometimes known as being all-knowing, refers to Gods ability to know absolutely everything. This characteristic is usually treated as a consequence of one of two ways in which God exists: either because God exists outside of time, or because God exists as part of time.
If God exists outside of time, then Gods knowledge is also timeless this means that God knows the past, present, and future simultaneously. One might imagine that God can directly and simultaneously observe the past, present, and future, and this perception of events is what allows God to know it all. If, however, God exists within time as well, then God knows all of the past and present, through direct perception; knowledge of the future, however, is perhaps dependent upon Gods ability to infer what will happen based upon Gods total knowledge of all factors which lead to the future.
Unfortunately, the most absolute sense of omniscience has been found to be incoherent. If God were truly omniscient in an absolute and unlimited sense, then God could know things which are logically impossible to know. Can God know that 2 + 2 = 5, even though that isnt true? Can God know what decisions God will make in the future? If God exists within time, then such knowledge is logically impossible if God also has free will; because of this, many philosophers and theologians have argued that God can only know that which is logically possible to know.
If omniscience were Gods only attribute, the logical limitations might be sufficient; however, other limitations have been found to be necessary because of other attributes which people tend to assume that God has. Without these extra limitations, the definition of God would become logically contradictory, and it would be reasonable to conclude that God, as defined, cannot exist.
For example, can God know what its like for God to play soccer? Some conceptions of gods in the past allowed for them to be able to play sports, but classic philosophical theism has always postulated a non-material, disembodied divinity. Such a god cannot possibly play soccer an apparent contradiction to omniscience, especially since I am capable of knowing what its like to play soccer. Any direct experiential knowledge of this sort would thus be problematic at best, God can know what its like for others to do these things.
To consider another example, is God capable of knowing suffering? Once again, some theistic systems have imagined gods capable of all manner of suffering and privation; philosophical theism, however, has always imagined a perfect God who is beyond such experiences. It is inconceivable to believers in such a god that it would ever suffer even though humans are obviously quite capable of it.
As a consequence, another common limitation to omniscience which has developed in philosophy and theology is that God can know anything which is compatible with Gods nature. Playing soccer is not compatible with the nature of a non-material being. Suffering is not compatible with the nature of a perfect being. Thus, God may not be able to know how to play soccer or know suffering, but those arent really contradictions with divine omniscience because the definition of omniscience excludes anything contradictory to the nature of the being in question.
If that isnt bad enough, philosophers and theologians have found themselves devising a number of other limitations upon the definition of omniscience in order to allow for many more things which God cannot do while retaining the characteristic of omniscience. For example, it is argued that Gods omniscience doesnt include procedural knowledge (knowing how to do things, like ride a bike) or personal knowledge (knowledge derived from personal experience, like knowing war) only propositional knowledge (knowledge of true facts). This, however, seems to reduce God to a type of computer storage bank: God contains all facts that exist, but nothing more interesting.
A detailed examination of these and other restrictions should be left for another time; what is important to see here is that omniscience has been whittled down bit by bit until there is very little left of the original concept. Arguably, you and I are omniscient under some of these refined conceptions which have become so weak. Any conception of omniscience which could allow us to argue that we are also omniscient has become irrelevant, especially when combined with the observation that we are capable of knowing a great many things well outside the ability of this allegedly omniscient god.

1. ESBaaS Will Emerge in Enterprise Clouds.
Enterprise service bus as a service will begin to emerge within enterprise clouds to allow common messaging within applications among different organizational units. This will further support standardization within an enterprise, as well as reduce lead times for applications development.
2. Enterprise Cloud Computing will Accelerate Data Center Consolidation.
As enterprises and governments continue to deal with the cost of operating individual data centers, consolidation will become a much more important topic. As the consolidation process is planned, further migration to cloud computing and virtualized environments will become very attractive – if not critical – to all organizations.
3. Desktop Virtualization.
As we become more comfortable with Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365, and other desktop replacement environments, the need for high-powered desktop workstations will be reduced to power users. In addition to the obvious attraction for better data protection and disaster recovery, the cost of expensive workstations and local application licenses makes little sense. The first migration will be for those who are primarily connected via an organizational LAN, with road warriors and mobile users following as broadband becomes more ubiquitous.
4. SME Data Center Outsourcing into Public Clouds. Small companies requiring routine data center support, including office automation, servers, finance applications, and web presence, will find it difficult to justify installing their own equipment in a private or public colocation center. In fact, it is unlikely savvy investors will support start up companies planning to operate their own data center, unless they are in an industry considered a very clear exception to normal IT requirements.
5. Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage will Look to PODs and Containers.
Microsoft and Google have proven the concept on a large scale, now the rest of the cloud computing and data center industry will take notice and begin to consider compute and storage capacity as a utility. As a utility the compute, storage, switching, and communications components will take advantage of greater efficiencies and design flexibility of moving beyond the traditional data center concrete. This will further support the idea of distributed cloud computing, portability, cloud exchanges, and cloud spot markets in 2012…

"Connie Goodwin should be writing her Ph.D. dissertation. Instead, her mother has asked her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, Massachusetts. While cleaning up the years of dust and cobwebs, Connie makes discoveries that lead her back to the world of the Salem witch trials. Howe does a superb job at combining modern day language with the 17th century voices, pulling you even deeper into a story of mystery and witches. Marvelous and terrifying at the same time. I loved it!"
-- Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT
Connie Goodwin should be spending her summer doing research for her Ph.D. dissertation in American History. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she's compelled to help. It's not long before the time she's set aside for research is instead spent sorting through her grandmother's ancient possessions, discovering a woman she barely knew. One day, while exploring the dusty bookshelves in the study, Connie discovers a key hidden within an old bible. And within the key is a brittle slip of paper with two words written on it: Deliverance Dane. Along with a handsome steeplejack named Sam, Connie begins to dig into the town's records, looking for references to Deliverance Dane. But even as the pieces begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the witch trials so long ago, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past than she could have ever imagined. Written by an author completing a Ph.D. in New England Studies, and whose ancestors were accused witches in Salem, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the trials in the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery and discovery.

HoopsHype Business rumors
The NBA expects nine teams will end up having lost money once luxury-tax distribution and revenue-sharing payments are finalized. The Nets, with that monster $144 million figure, are the biggest losers. Next in line? The Wizards, with projected losses of about $13 million. That's right: The Nets lost $131 million more than any other NBA team last season. This is what happens when you pay $90 million in luxury tax for an aging roster and play in a market so large you are ineligible to receive any revenue-sharing help. Grantland

The Sacramento Kings today announced a retail partnership with adidas, the official outfitter of the National Basketball Association. As of July 1, 2014, adidas will manage retail operations for the Kings through the 2016-17 NBA season. "We're thrilled to bring one of the world's top lifestyle and sports brands to Sacramento," said Kings President Chris Granger. "adidas' unmatched expertise in sports merchandise and unparalleled customer service make them an ideal partner for the Kings. Together, Kings fans will better connect to the team through a truly exceptional and innovative retail experience." NBA.com
Brett Pollakoff: Jordan Brand announces they've signed Jabari Parker. mobile.twitter.com/JabariParker/s… Twitter @BrettEP
If an athlete has been affiliated with the same brand since high school and AAU ball, it stands to reason that once endorsement opportunities present themselves, brand affinity may have an impact. While financial considerations will likely trump nostalgia, any edge a corporate brand can get in its efforts to secure the next Jordan or LeBron will have been deemed well worth it once the paperwork is signed and the pictures of the athlete wearing the company's shoes make their way through social media. And it may be the best of both worlds for a select few. Andrew Wiggins' AAU team, CIA Bounce, is sponsored by Nike, and his college team, Kansas, is sponsored by Adidas: two suitors he's already affiliated with will compete for his services.

The NBA remains the leader in diversity among professional sports leagues. According to a report released Tuesday, the NBA received an A-plus grade for racial hiring and B-plus for gender hiring on its annual Racial and Gender Report Card. The league received an overall grade of A. This is the sixth consecutive overall A grade the NBA has received in the annual report by the Institute of Diversity and Ethics in Sport. With Michael Jordan the Charlotte Hornets' majority owner and Vivek Ranadive the new controlling owner of the Sacramento Kings, the NBA is the first major pro league to have two owners of color. The league set records this season with assistant coaches of color at 46.7 percent and 48.4 percent of its referees. NBA.com

So if US Soccer's medical staff decides Clint Dempsey has to wear one on Sunday in Manaus vs. Portugal to protect his broken nose, Hamilton has a suggestion for the US national team captain: Use mine. The retired former NBA champion is apparently headed to Brazil with three of the plastic masks that became his trademark over most of his 14-year professional career, as he announced on his Instagram account. MLSsoccer.com
When the Charlotte Hornets unveiled their new uniforms Thursday, many fans noticed a small but telling detail: The NBA's ubiquitous red, white, and blue logo was missing from familiar position on the upper-chest area of the new jerseys. Instead, it appeared on the back, above the player names. The Hornets won't be alone. All NBA teams will be wearing the NBA logo on the back for the 2014-15 season, the league confirmed to ESPN.com. A league official called it a "stylistic move" but declined to comment further. ESPN.com
The move is sure to fuel speculation that the NBA is preparing to move ahead with its long-planned program of jersey advertising. Removing the league logo from the front of the jersey will clear more space for an ad patch and remove what would otherwise be a competing visual icon. Annual revenue from jersey ads has been estimated to be in the $100 million range. ESPN.com
An inventor's mind with a salesman's drive, Bender walked into a Relax the Back store in Sugarland, Tex., one afternoon and met the manager, who told him he suffered from the lower-back condition sciatica. "Try this out," Bender told him, confidently handing him his MedPro. It didn't take long. The manager, so startled by its effectiveness, bought one on the spot. "He told me it eased his pain between 60 and 70 percent," Bender says. Indianapolis Star
Similar stories soon followed. One elderly man who, after a nasty motorcycle accident, hadn't been able to walk up stairs in 20 years. That was until he tried Bender's product. "The best part of all of this is seeing his passion," says Bernice, now Bender's wife. "He's not wishing he was still playing basketball. More than anything, he loves helping people, like that old man who had some of the same pain he did." Indianapolis Star
Bender has partnered with Relax the Back and is now selling his MedPro (retail: $199) off his own website. The byproduct of Bender's imaginative mind that day in a Houston park has spawned a company — JB3 Enterprises — and a product that has propelled revenue growth of 40 percent month-over-month since December. He aims for more. While the current MedPro model has found a home among baby boomers (Bender himself sold 300 units his first two months), he hopes to soon polish off a model designed for serious athletes. Indianapolis Star
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, he recently earned more than $30 million — nearly $11 million more than his Heat salary for this season — by way of Apple's $3 billion purchase of the Beats Electronics company in which James was a part-owner. Translation: He can afford to pay the steep price it would take to make room for his longtime friend who entered the league with him in 2003. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the personal nature of the information. USA Today Sports

"We have discussions set for next week in Miami and those discussions are ongoing. It's still my hope that we extend early before we get to the market, but we'll see.

Project Evaluations and Decision Processes
AbstractCost-benefit analysis have been attacked by many critics because of its implicit ethical assumptions. The normative content of the method is at odds with the common attitude that economists should analyze how to reach given goals, while determination of the goals should be left to the politicians. This paper presents a descriptive model of decision makers' behavior, demonstrating that rational, benevolent politicians will only in special cases accept the evaluation of projects resulting from a cost-benefit analysis. An alternative approach to project evaluation, which allows individual decision makers to rank projects in accordance with their own ethical views, is presented. In this framework, estimates of willingness to pay are generally not required. On the other hand, information about groups that are significantly affected by the project, as well as physical unit information on changes in the supply of public goods, is crucial.

Hey now you're an All Star...
C: Joe Mauer - that was a given from the start after his month of May
1B: Mark Teixeira - I think it should have been Justin, damn Yankees
2B: Dustin Pedroia - Should have been Ian Kinsler
3B: Evan Longoria - works for me
SS: Derek Jeter - Should have been Jason Bartlett as starter
Jason Bay - ok
Ichiro Suzuki - doesn't surprise me
Josh Hamilton - I'm really hoping he is able to play
The group of 13 pitchers we have, I really think we have a diverse group of guys. We have the 2 best closer in baseball with Nathan and Mariano Rivera. We have 2 of the better starters in the league with Zach Greinke and Roy Halladay.
The only person not going to the game that I wish was is Slowey. I think he earned his way into that game being right up there with Greinke and Halladay. But at the same time, I'm glad he didn't get the nod for the game, because it think it would a have been harder to swallow knowing he could have gone and could have played if he wasn't on the DL.
I think it's going to be a really good game again this year. And I will make myself stay up and watch the whole thing if it goes into extra innings, especially if we get an ending like this again:
Now onto today's game:
So I was really hoping Blackie was going to be able pull off the shut out today. Maybe it's just me, but as soon as they started talking about it on TV I knew it wasn't going to happen. Just like when he was going for it against the Pirates earlier in the season, they started talking about it on the radio and he gave up the single run in the ninth.
I still love the fact that he has been able to get a complete game in 3 of his last 4 starts. It makes me very excited to see him pitch again in person on Saturday night against the White Sox. I don't worry when he is pitching, I do still get a little worried when Frankie is pitching, but we'll see how that goes for the rest of the season.
I'd like to thank Adam Everett for helping out his old team out with that error in our 6 run - 4th inning. It may not have been a sweep, but I certainly feel better getting the series after that heart breaker on Friday night.
Tomorrow: Off day!
Tuesday: Scott Baker taking on the New York Yankees and LHP CC Sabathia.
I really hate the Yankees, I'll just make that be known now.
I shall end today's post with some amusing pictures from today's game:

2B should have been Kinsler. What the heck happend there.
I sure hope that it's a Twin that makes the winning catch/RBI/run/save for the game this year. Everytime Justin Morneau came up last year (in the Xtra innings) I would get so excited and think "Oh my gosh! He could win the game right now!" Of course he didn't, but he DID score the winning run, so It's good enough for me. Mauer will be taken out by the 4th (because they are stupid) So it's all up to Morneau...
- Katie said...
I half ass watched the game last year because I was trying to get homework done. Thankfully this year I am done with school so I'll be able to pay better attention!
- S.Rail said...
I can't believe I stayed up that long last year. It was a LONG game. (But AL won, so it's all good) :)
- Katie said...
I ended up falling asleep during the 11th inning and missed the ending.

Life in San Diego
Saturday - June 15
Rest day. Letting my calf and foot heal.
Friday - June 14
I had a great time at a sushi dinner last night for my birthday with Mike, Meghann, and Dave. I talked with Dave and had him check-out my left calf (orthopedic surgeon). He believes I have a small tear in the muscle. 3 days of rest. No biking or running. Limited walking around. I also need time to heal the foot. Looks like my big training weekend just went to a weekend on the couch. I need to do more packing for my move, but my calf hurts even when I am standing. Not good! :-(
Rest day.
Rest day.

A country
A region named Germania inhabited by several Germanic peoples has been known and documented before AD 100. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire that lasted until 1806. During the 16th century, northern Germany became the center of the Protestant Reformation. As a modern nation-state, the country was first unified amidst the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. In 1949, after World War II, Germany was divided into two separate states—East Germany and West Germany—along the lines of Allied occupation. Germany was reunified in 1990.
