Commitment-penalty contracts in drop-shipping supply chains with asymmetric demand information
AbstractWe study a drop-shipping supply chain in which the retailer receives a customer's order and the supplier fills it. In such a chain, the supplier keeps inventory and bears inventory risks; the retailer focuses on marketing and customer acquisition, and forwards the orders to the supplier. The retailer usually has better customer demand information, and may send an over-estimated demand forecast to maximize her own interest, which may result in overstock for the supplier. On the other hand, since the retailer does not own inventory, the main concern of the retailer is that the acquired orders may not be fulfilled because of the supplier's shortage of stock. To cope with these challenges, we propose a menu of commitment-penalty contracts that can provide greater certainty of demand as well as greater certainty of supply. We focus our study in the asymmetric demand information case and we show that the supplier can obtain the retailer's demand information by offering a menu of commitment-penalty contracts. Under this mechanism, we find the solution that maximizes the supplier's expected profit.

The YA Readers Doth Protest Too Much
Let me start with a bit of irony for you all: almost every time an article about reading and literature goes viral on the internet, the lede references a book that's been recently made into a movie.
Roll that one around in your heads for a minute before we dive into Slate's recent critique of YA literature and the adults who read it, and the furor it sparked.
We can make a compelling case for America's staggering illiteracy without ever touching on the nebulous concept of "young adult," is all I'm sayin' here. But touch on it Slate did, and was there ever a backlash! If you want to read essays vehemently defending not only the right of adults to read whatever they want (which no one ever disputed) but also the inherent nobility of adults who read YA literature, help yourself: Jezebel, The Atlantic, Bustle; pick your poison.
This strikes me as overreaction.
The arguments boil down into one of two camps:
1. Reading is fun, and people should read whatever they think is fun to read.
2. YA books can be challenging, significant works of literature.
If you believe #1, you're done here. Given the premise that reading is fundamentally a leisure activity, and that the pleasure it brings is the best measure of a book's value, then of course YA literature is just as valuable as anything else, so long as the reader enjoys it. Slate's concerns about the superficiality of the themes and attitudes in YA books don't matter, because you're not reading to think about themes. You're reading to have fun.
The problem is with #2. Once you feel the need to defend YA literature as not just entertainment but as a tool for intellectual challenge, you're inherently accepting the premise that literature derives value from more than just the entertainment it provides. And that's a test most YA books — and most books in general, for that matter — fail.
The vast majority of YA books are crap for making you think about the world in deep or significant ways. They just are.
Sure, there are exceptions. But we're talking about books for teens, here. If serious emotional or intellectual complexity makes it in there, it's because an editor wasn't paying attention, not because that's what publishers think teens want.
That one really moving YA book by an up-and-coming author that made you think in ways you never thought before (and that you're going to mention in the comments) isn't what pieces like Slate's are talking about, and you know it. They're talking about the hundreds of other books on the YA shelf that are treacly, simplistic crap, and you can't pretend those books aren't there, in vast quantities.
Now, if we're being fair, we shouldn't give adult fiction a pass here, either. There's no real superiority of a Tom Clancy thriller to Twilight in terms of emotional complexity or intellectual challenge, beyond requiring a little more familiarity with the structures of adult life. And mindless entertainment makes up the bulk of adult book sales, too.
The difference is mostly that publishers can and do publish challenging fiction for adults, while they actively shy away from doing so under the YA label. So if you're one of the few people who really is looking for something intellectually stimulating in your reading, you're much more likely to have success outside the YA shelves.
And if you're not looking for intellectual stimulation, why do you care if someone else thinks your summer reading isn't intellectual enough? That's not what you're reading for! Their arguments do not apply to you! Go about your life in peace!
Life's too short to worry that someone else thinks you're not getting enough out of your reading. But if you're worried that you might not be getting enough out of your reading…then yeah, it's time to move beyond the YA shelves, and don't shoot the messengers for saying it.

Burglar hits same house four times
Date: August 18, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Sarasota police detectives arrested an illegal immigrant yesterday for allegedly burglarizing the same house four times this year.
Daniel Garza, 25, is charged with breaking into 2642 Ringling Blvd. He allegedly targeted the home after he was hired to do some painting there last year.
The most recent burglary took place Aug. 11. Detectives recovered some of the stolen items, including jewelry and collectible currency and coins, from Garza's home at 3808 Locust Ave. The burglar left a fingerprint on the window he opened to climb inside the home, police reports state.

Talking Fall's Favorite Haircut—And A Little Art History—With Edie Campbell-------
Edie Campbell has had a few memorable runway turns—many of them opening ones—at some of the season's biggest shows thus far. But if you had to do a double take when you saw her at Marc Jacobs, or at Burberry and Christopher Kane, you were likely not alone. "The same Edie Campbell with the heavy, Anita Pallenberg fringe and the long flaxen layers who starred in Spring campaigns for Burberry and Saint Laurent?" you may have been asking yourself of the girl with the black mullet-y shag. They're one and the same, it turns out, thanks to the transformative cut and color Guido Palau gave her before the shows started, which has proved pivotal to the season since. Palau shouted out Edie as one of his reference points for the wigs every girl wore at Jacobs' acclaimed presentation in New York, while Campbell herself continues to score big bookings, at least partially, because of the crop. "It's a bit different, but it feels more me than the long hair," the Brit It girl said of the style while backstage at Jil Sander yesterday, admitting that she doesn't really even think about it as that drastic of a change anymore. "The novelty wears off," Campbell said. Telling us that she plans on sticking with her short-hair persona for a while, there is one thing she'll have to start considering: grow-out. "I haven't really thought about roots at all!" Campbell revealed, explaining that she hasn't gotten a color touch-up since her initial dye job a few months back.
Jil Sander was Campbell's one stop in Milan, but she'll be in Paris, she assured us. Where, exactly, she couldn't say—"I don't want to count all of my eggs before they hatch, but there ought to be some good ones," she joked. For now, though, the full-time art-history student is back in London before heading to Seville to do some research—then to Paris. "It cuts out how much time I spend in the makeup chair," she says of life as a matriculated model.
Beauty Business As Usual, Backstage At Burberry Prorsum-------
Last season, Christopher Bailey and his trusted face painter, Wendy Rowe, served up a surprise for Burberry Prorsum beauty watchers the world over. After countless shows that featured natural skin and shaded lids, the duo executed a perfectly precise dark crimson lip for Spring. There were no such twists and turns backstage for Fall, although you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who cared. The casting here is so good that it was a pleasure to just sit back and watch as Cara, Jourdan, Karlie, and the show's opener and closer, Edie Campbell, moved in and out of the makeup artists' chairs.
"This season, the Burberry girl is a little bit sixties and a bit mod; she is very cool," Rowe pointed out, adding a slight variation to the house's traditional groomed and glossy theme with a layering effort of Burberry Sheer Foundation and its Fresh Glow to give complexions a lit-from-within quality. The golden touches woven throughout the collection inspired a gilded highlight on the inner corners of eyes and on the Cupid's bow of mouths, courtesy of Burberry Lip Glow in Trench Kiss. "I want the lips to look succulent, like they have just been kissed," the Burberry artistic consultant explained, slicking on an additional coat of Burberry Lip Mist in Nude Honey. Nails were given this season's favorite, deep garnet manicure with two coats of Burberry lacquer in Oxblood.
Making a subtle change to the status quo, hairstylist Neil Moodie took last season's tousled texture and blow-dried it into submission. "I'm going for a smoother finish than what we have done in the past," he explained, gluing color-matched extensions into models' manes and using a large round-barreled brush to curl the ends under. In keeping with the slight sixties feel, Moodie applied a pump of Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse and back-combed strands at the roots, allowing them to settle for ten minutes before brushing them out again. "It's enough to give the hair a little height at the crown," he pointed out of the technique.
A "New Look" Debuts, Backstage At Burberry-------
The excitement level backstage at Burberry kicked up a few notches when Wendy Rowe picked up a bullet of red lipstick. It was as though time stopped, except for the singular, slow-motion movement of the makeup artist grabbing Burberry's Lipstick in Siren, moving it ever closer to Constance Jablonski's mouth. After many years of loyalty to an all-natural, earth-tone-only makeup palette, it appeared as though Christopher Bailey had decided to make a bold beauty move. "We're doing a Norman Parkinson woman," Rowe revealed. "She's retro but also modern and has a definite forties look about her."
The crimson pout was the focal point of the look, and Rowe ensured it wasn't too done. "It needs to look sassy and sexy," she insisted, applying the creamy scarlet pigment with a brush and blotting it as she went. "[The Burberry woman] is a bit cheeky and flirty this season," Rowe continued, blending in the brand's new-for-spring Fresh Glow Foundation, which she dotted with its forthcoming Illuminator.
"Natural and definitely not too glamorous" were the house codes that Neil Moodie abided by when it came to the hair, which he prepped with Bumble and Bumble Does It All Styling Spray and gave an off-kilter center part. Running a few sections through a curling iron to create movement through the lengths, Moodie finished things off with a touch of Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine on the ends of the hair for the appearance of a healthy, moisturized mane—wear and tear from almost two weeks of back-to-back shows not withstanding.
Town And Country Beauty, Backstage At Burberry-------
Christopher Bailey's Burberry woman has a fairly consistent beauty look. Perfect dewy skin, sepia-toned lids, a nude-rose mouth, and some well-placed highlighted contours are par for the course here, and somehow, the winning combination doesn't get old—even when it's given a slightly more specific direction. "He wanted a girl who had been going out in the town all week and then retreated to her country estate for the weekend," Bailey's trusted face painter Wendy Rowe said of the "field and country" theme of the designer's Fall collection. "She loves the excitement of city life, but she's not afraid to get her hands dirty in the country." So how does this translate in makeup terms? With a wind-blown flush and a modern update on the smoky eye, according to Rowe.
Using a palette of Burberry Eyeshadows that corresponded with the colors in Bailey's clothes, Rowe traced its Dark Sable along the upper lashline to create depth before blending its Midnight Brown across the lid and pressing Mulberry, a burnt berry, into the crease. A few purposeful swipes of its Gold Trench defined the lower lashes. "There are no hard lines, none of the usual heaviness on the lid," Rowe explained of the beautifully slept-in, diffused halo of neutral tones. The cold snap of a Yorkshire morning played across the cheeks courtesy of Burberry Blush in Earthy, and a mix of the brand's Mocha Glow and Sepia Pink Lipsticks gave mouths a sumptuous, velvety finish.
Neil Moodie followed suit, "undressing" the hair rather than ramping it up. "She had a big blow-dry to start the week, but by the time she's reached the country, it's come undone and the waves have dropped," the hairstylist elaborated, coating damp tresses with Bumble and Bumble's Prep and its Thickening Spray before diffusing heat throughout the lengths and breaking up the ends with his fingers. A large curling iron added loose texture at random, while Bumble's Brilliantine shine cream created additional separation and an expensive-looking sheen.
Backstage At Burberry, It's Beauty Business As Usual-------
"Classic Burberry" has long been the inspiration backstage at Christopher Bailey's show, and his hair and makeup team, made up of Neil Moodie and Wendy Rowe, respectively, show up knowing that resistance to the plan is futile. What exactly is "classic Burberry" beauty? "The key word is effortless," says Moodie. "So it doesn't feel as though [Wendy and I] have been here at all." Their presence was more than necessary, though, considering that the kind of deliberate ease they were after happens to be extremely hard to manufacture. Prepping hair with Bumble and Bumble Prep lotion and its Styling Spray, Moodie diffused strands so they dried with a natural texture. Then, using his WAM ceramic curling iron and a few spritzes of Bb Shine Spray, Moodie "tapped out a bit of a bend" through the ends so hair didn't lay flat but rather appeared as though a gentle gust of wind had swept through it.
Rowe did her part to honor the house's beauty codes by taking the makeup "back to basics," with a fresh, light color palette. Mixing Burberry Beauty Sheer Foundation with its Fresh Glow illuminator for sheer, dewy coverage, Rowe added a "wash of color" to lids using its Eyeshadow in Taupe Brown and Almond, dusting a hint of the shimmering beige Pale Barley onto the inner corners to catch the bright runway lights. Lips were treated to a slick of a new-for-Spring lipstick shade in Tulip, a tawny pink, while brows were slightly sculpted to enhance models' natural shape if they needed enhancing. Model and muse Cara Delevingne's arches certainly did not. ("I was born with these massive puppies," she joked when we inquired about her enviable brows. "I do them myself—no threading, just a little tweezing.") To complete the look, Rococo Nail Apparel's Ange and Vernice Walker were brought in to paint on a few coats of their new Nude Wardrobe lacquer line, which features six different neutral polishes that coordinate with a range of skin tones. It was—and always will be—a nail-art free zone.

Wednesday, August 03, 2011, 06:30 am PT (09:30 am ET)
Rumor: Apple set to launch 'iTunes Replay' for re-downloading, streamingApple will soon fully launch its long in-the-works "iTunes Replay" service that will allow users to re-download and potentially stream purchased content, including Hollywood movies, a new rumor claims.
The Apple TV set-top box and the iTunes Store were updated on Monday to allow users to re-download TV shows they have already purchased. According to AppAdvice, Apple is expected to add that functionality for movies in the near future.
The report claims users will be able to see which content can be re-downloaded with an arrow indicating that content is "iTunes Replay eligible." In order for content to qualify, Apple must have secured the appropriate licenses.
Apple is also expected to add streaming of content to its so-called "iTunes Replay" service. The company is said to be testing the service internally, and it will launch publicly in a matter of weeks.
Sources also reportedly indicated that some content will only be available to download a maximum of five times. The site said they "don't know how streaming will count towards that limit."
In early June, Apple launched its iTunes in the Cloud service, which allows users to re-download music and applications previously downloaded. The service, powered by Apple's $1 billion server farm in North Carolina, even allowed users to re-download applications that have been removed from the App Store.
AppleInsider first reported in 2009 that Apple was working on an "iTunes Replay" service that could allow re-downloading of content, as well as streaming to devices without a need to save files locally. But the company is believed to have been held up by licensing issues, some of which were settled in negotiations with content providers this year.
During Apple's quarterly earnings conference call last month, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer teased that his company would be making changes on the iTunes Store in the coming months. Oppenheimer revealed that Apple has "neat stuff coming" to the iTunes Store in the near future.
Before this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, numerous reports indicated that Apple had reached streaming music agreements with all four major record companies. But at WWDC, Apple's formal announcement of the iCloud service only included the $25-per-year iTunes Match, which allows users to re-download songs through iTunes that they have purchased elsewhere.

Bigfoot Hairs Ruled Out, but New Mystery Emerges
By: Jodi Westrick
Research published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B claims that hair samples presented as evidence of Bigfoots did not actually come from the mythical creature. However, as the article from Discovery News states, those believed to belong to the Yeti actually uncovered another mystery - an ancient and new species of bear.
Is this difinitive proof that Bigfoot may not exist? No need to fret yet, Bigfoot believers.
Jennifer Viegas of Discovery News writes, "The study solely focused on hair samples, and did not address the footprints, photographs, recorded sounds and other 'evidence' purportedly linked to Bigfoot, the Yeti and similar supposedly human-like creatures."
Out of 57 hair samples provided, only 36 were tested. And as viewers see on Finding Bigfoot - there is a lot more evidence out there to be shared.
Read more about the research, what was found and more on Discovery News >>
So, what do you think? If you're a Bigfoot skeptic, does this confirm your disbelief? If you believe Bigfoot is still out there, does this change your mind in any way? Talk to us below in the comments and be sure to tune in Sunday, July 6 at 10PM E/P for an all-new episode of Finding Bigfoot!

Khabib Nurmagomedov is quickly establishing himself as a true contender in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight division.
"The Eagle" picked up his sixth straight win inside the Octagon after soundly defeating Rafael dos Anjos in the prelims of this past weekend's (April 19, 2014) at UFC on FOX 11 event in Orlando, Florida, via unanimous decision.
It also marked consecutive win number 22 in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. A career that has seen the Russian go unbeaten (22-0, 6-0 UFC).
According to his head trainer at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), Javier Mendez, Khabib should be in line for a No. 1 contender's spot, given his body of work over the last couple of years.
He said as much during a recent appearance on "The MMA Hour:"
"Well, it would be advantageous, in his position, with as many wins as he's had in the UFC that he has a No. 1 contender's spot in his next fight. I think it's only logical, I think the fans would want to see it. And I think Joe Rogan said that he and Anthony Pettis, if Pettis is still champ, would be a great fight and I couldn't disagree."
While Khabib has shown that wrestling is his strength, Mendez says he has a ways to go to get his striking up to par. Still, Javier believes "The Eagle" is too much to handle for anyone in the 155-pound weight class with just his grappling alone.
His words:
"His striking is still evolving, he's still, in my opinion, pretty green in the stand up. His sambo and his wrestling is top notch and I don't see anyone in the lightweight division being able to handle that part of what he has. So, that alone is a monster for anybody."
Perhaps that's why fighters (like this one and this one) have been declining to fight him.
For now, current lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis, has his plate full as he gears up to coach season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) opposite Gilbert Melendez with a title fight between the two planned for later this year.
Which means if Khabib -- who recently shot up in the rankings -- wants a title fight next, he'll have to sit on the sidelines for quite some time or take part in a title eliminator fight to earn his shot.
But against who?

Valentine's Day: Toss the cliché candy and roses, women say
We will respectfully disagree that there's anything wrong with chocolate.
Attention, men. When it comes to Valentine's Day, it might be time to think outside the box. Apparently, the standard flowers and chocolate gifts just aren't cutting it anymore.
A few recent surveys have found that women aren't particularly fond of traditional Valentine's Day presents.
More on MSN Living: 9 sex & dating myths
Flower retailer ProFlowers, for example, recently conducted a survey that found only 18 percent of women want red roses for Valentine's Day. In fact, only 40 percent want roses at all.
The Heart Beat talked to Greg Smith, VP of Merchandising for ProFlowers. He explained that over half of women found red roses either cliché or thoughtless:
"Thirty-one percent of women think that red roses are cliché and prefer a different kind of flower, such as a mixed bouquet, or a different color of rose. Some women, (21%), said that giving or sending red roses doesn't require any thought. Overall, women want their men to be more thoughtful in their gifts."
More on MSN Living: 28 ways to have a sexy February
Last year, dating site Zoosk released a similar poll. In their survey, 58 percent of women said Valentine's Day flowers and chocolates are too cliché.
Flowers, maybe. But chocolate? Let's not get crazy now.
There's a fine line between traditional and tired. It's always not easy to balance timelessness with creativity. So how do you freshen up a classic? Smith offered some easy ways to switch it up this year:
"It would be a nice touch to send pink roses, for example, if she loves the color pink…Tulips are also a great option as they are in season and available in a variety of colors. Orchids scored high in the survey as well. "
Also, 24 percent of women surveyed preferred a mixed flower bouquet.
Another interesting finding that might be of help:
"We've discovered from the survey that single women who have never been married prefer red roses over those who are married, living with their partner or divorced," Smith told us. "Older women generally prefer mixed flower bouquets over roses."
Roses and candy might be cliché, but there's one timeless classic women never tire of: cards. Zoosk's survey found that 65 percent of women still love a good, old-fashioned sappy Valentine's Day card.
What do you think--are roses and candy cliché? What do you plan to give for Valentine's Day this year?

|Storage Speak
Amy Campbell
Bashed by Pas editor and resident!
Boy, did self-storage ever get bashed by a Pasadena resident, who also happens to be an editor for the Pasadena Star News. Yesterday he published an editorial as part of the ongoing argument to save Persson's Nursery.
I've been following this fight in the blog over the past few weeks. It's the saga of a storage developer attempting to lease land out from under a family-owned business that has occupied the spot for many years. Supposedly, the developer offered to financially assist the nursery with relocation to a plot across the street, but now the struggle has expanded to include the issue of open green space. According to Larry Wilson, "This nutty scheme to replace that greenery with ugly self-storage buildings is in clear violoation of city guidelines."
What I didn't know was that four years ago, the Pasadena City Council passed a ban on any new self-storage businesses. The reasons? "They don't create more than a handful or jobs or tax revenue; they take of scads of room in a space-poor city; there are already 17 self-storage businesses in Pasadena already."
I give Wilson credit—it's a well-written piece. And I have to admit lush green plants are more visually enticing than buildings of any flavor, including self-storage. And I'm still curious to see how this one plays out. The gloves are still on for Pas residents, who will be demonstrating at the Victory Park farmer's market tomorrow at 9 a.m.

10 Octopus-Inspired Design Ideas
The octopus, with its eight writhing tentacles and otherworldly appearance, has fascinated and inspired mankind since we first explored the oceans. While we may no longer write myths and legends about tentacled sea beasts, these modern octopus-inspired household designs are enough to inspire a dread of the deep.
Some of us might not feel comfortable facing a slimy octopus, but the artists and designers behind these octopus products consider them be great sources of inspiration for their artworks. That sleek black leather octopus chair could be Poseidon's throne, while those octopus chandeliers might make you feel like you're 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Minimize jQuery object creation
Jul 4th
Posted by adardesign in Uncategorized
Willing to optimize apps to run the fastest posible, developers can sometimes asume (mostly after reading posts amateur developers write) that some optimizations are really better practices.
But unfortunately sometimes it might even slower your app.
sometimes these optimization's are just for edge cases, (for instance only where there are 1000′s of nodes to manipulate)
It is very common to see code like this, where a new jQuery instance object ($) is created for every set of elements:
$("div").bind("click", function(){ $("#otherDiv").toggle(); })
Each time you call the $() you create a new instance of jQuery.
You can get away with creating as little as a few jQuery Object's
Just start off with one jQuery instance.
Here is how we can optimize our javascript.
// define one root element var appRoot = $("#appRoot"); appRoot.find(".someElement").bind("click", function(){ appRoot.find("#otherDiv").toggle(); });
Here he have one root element and we keep on looking (finding) from that root element.
After making a few jsperf tests it turns out that it is not true. It is actually much slower.
See the stackoverflow thread for a detailed explanation.
Here's an excerpt of the answer:
You need to consider that your test contains less than 10 divs or other html elements. The reason to write code like in the first example is to make the selector faster, but with the cost of additional method calls. Normaly the selector should be the more expensive of the two by far so the the gain would outweight the loss but with a DOM this small the selector will be very cheap no matter how you write it.

It looks like Ant-Man will have to wait, as director Edgar Wright has long-in-the-works plans to reunite with his trusted allies, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. After teaming for the excellent Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, they are now set to cap off the Cornetto, or Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy. The film is At World's End and we've finally got a tentative start date and plot. [Deadline]
Production is set to begin this September with Working Title and then Universal Pictures likely to jump on quickly. Turnaround will also be fast, with an estimated release date of spring 2013 and we've also got a sparingly detail logline. With Shaun taking a spin on the zombie genre and Fuzz doing the same for actioners, it's been long-rumored that this film will take on the very end of the world, if you couldn't guess from the title. One can read below, but that aspect is still mostly hidden, if not for the last line. Check out the current synopsis as we wait for more details:
20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.
Are you excited to see this trio together again?

Anderson fans 13 in earning career win No. 22
Nick Anderson struck out 13 in a four-hitter as Wellsville improved to 10-0 with a 12-2 win over Addison on Monday.
Anderson did not walk a batter and lost his shutout in the 7th inning.
"He had total command of his pitches up until then,"?said Wellsville head coach Dennie Miles. "Sometimes, as a pitcher, it's harder to pitch when you're way up than when it's a tight game."
Anderson also had two hits in notching his 22nd career victory. The senior left-hander is now in sole possession of 4th place on the school's all-time wins list.
Brett Migliore doubled twice in four trips and Matt Insley and Kirby Weinhauer also had two hits for Wellsville (10-0), which is scheduled to play five times in six days this week.
"We got everyone into the game and got off to a good start in a busy week,"?said Miles.

The following players will not suit up for the
Coach Mike McCarthy told the paper he likes the chemistry on the left side between Bakhtiari and guard Josh Sitton. "I liked the relationship between David and Josh, and to me it's more about the combination over there," he said. "They work well together. They're both wired mentally.
"David's young and raw, and he's got a lot to learn. The game comes very easily to Josh now."
McCarthy added that Bakhtiari, a 6-4, 300-pounder selected in the fourth round last season, needs to get bigger and stronger for the 2014 season.
More than two years after Chad Clifton played his last game, the
Bakhtiari held his own. Still, coach Mike McCarthy and offensive line coach James Campen have not committed to him for 2014. "I don't think you can really get into that at this point," Campen told the paper. "You have a lot of players that are coming back. It will be a lot of competition there. That will be a very competitive situation and a good situation to have."
A fourth-round pick, Bakhtiari is undersized for the position at 6-4, 300 pounds, and might be more suited to the right side, the report said.
Lewis was seen pleading with medical personnel to give him back his helmet and allow him to return to the game after sustaining a concussion. Bakhtiari did re-enter the game for an extra point try during a concussion evaluation.
The league will not assess any fines. Lewis has been cleared to play in the NFC Semifinal against Seattle.

Audrey Landers (born July 18, 1956) is an American actress and singer, who is probably best known for her role as Afton Cooper in the television drama series Dallas and her role as Val Clarke in the film version of A Chorus Line.
Landers was born Audrey Hamburg in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There are several different references as to her birthdate, cited as 1956, 1958, and 1960, and a passport with a 1959 date of birth.[1] Landers began her acting career at the age of 9, when she starred in her first community theater musical, and continued acting and singing in community theater shows in New York State. Music was always a passion, and Landers began writing poetry and songs at a very young age. Landers was first noticed with a country song that she wrote and performed at the age of twelve, which led to a Nashville recording contract with Epic Records, a performance on the Merv Griffin show, and a year-long role on the daytime drama, The Secret Storm. During her teen years, she acted on the daytime drama Somerset and studied music at the Juilliard School in New York, while majoring in psychology at Columbia University. Her feature film debut came in The Tennessee Stallion (1978) with her sister, Judy Landers.
Landers moved to Los Angeles and on her 21st birthday, landed the role of Afton Cooper in Dallas, which she held for 84 episodes, from 1981 though the TV movie Dallas: J.R. Returns in 1996. She took a leave of absence from Dallas to portray "Val" in the film version of A Chorus Line (1985).
In 1986, she appeared with Fred Travelena, and in 1988, she appeared with Bruce Baum with Bert Convy on Super Password.
From 1990–1992, she played the role of "Charlotte Hesser", eldest daughter of upstate Pennsylvania mob boss Carlo Hesser on the ABC daytime series One Life to Live.
Before joining Dallas, she guest-starred in a number of television shows, including The Dukes of Hazzard, Fantasy Island, Love Boat, and television movies such as Jackie Collins Lucky Chances, The Hitchhiker, and many others. Ghost Writer, a cult classic film, is a Ruth Landers production that both Audrey and Judy starred in. California Casanova, also a Ruth Landers Production, showcased Audrey's musical skills, as a singer and as a music composer.
With her young sons as inspiration, Landers created the award-winning children's television series, The Huggabug Club, for which, in addition to writing the scripts, she also wrote the 250+ original songs in the series. Her partner (and mother), Ruth Landers, produced the series and donated it to Public Television for its 5 year run. In 2006, she co-wrote, and co- directed the family adventure film, Circus Island, a Ruth Landers production.
Landers played Veronica, the girlfriend of Bruce Campbell's character Sam, on the USA Network series Burn Notice.
As a singer and composer, Landers has earned 10 gold singles, 4 gold albums and 2 platinum albums. Most are pop and disco records. Some of her biggest hits are "Manuel Goodbye", "Playa Blanca", and "Jim, Jeff & Johnny". Her multilingual (mostly German] world records include duets with renowned German singer Bernhard Brink, "Heute Habe Ich an Dich Gedacht" and "Mi Amor" with Camilo Sesto. Her albums released in Europe from 2006 through 2011 are also in several languages. Landers is guiding the career of her teenage son, Daniel Landers, who, at the age of 17, is already an accomplished songwriter, singer and performer.[2][3]
Landers' business partner (and mother) Ruth Landers have created a fashion line called Landers STAR Collection which is gaining global popularity through QVC UK,and in Italy, Canada, Germany, and the U.S.[4]
Audrey Landers often performs live in German Television, recently for 6 August 2011.
Audrey Landers is the mother of Daniel Landers, who is an actor/ singer/songwriter and recording artist, having competed in Europe's XFactor.[5] Audrey is sister of actress Judy Landers, and has acted with her in several roles, including multiple episodes of The Love Boat as well as Circus Island and Ghost Writer, films produced by Ruth Landers. Audrey and Judy Landers were on the cover and in a non-nude pictorial of the January 1983 issue of Playboy.
Audrey, Judy, and their mother, Ruth jointly created the award-winning musical children's television series The Huggabug Club for PBS from 1995–2000. Audrey co-wrote the 250 original songs in the series. She also co-wrote the scripts and co-edited the series.
In 2005–2006, Audrey co-wrote and co-directed the family feature film Circus Island.
Landers married businessman Donald Berkowitz in May 1988. They have 2 children, twins Adam and Daniel, born in 1993.

Staff was nice but we didn't see them much. The room was ok, but it's a bit old and would definitely need a bit of refreshing (window insulation, a new coat of paint, bathroom renovation....).

Keep track of all the latest news and events on developer tools and technologies you care about
Before I highlight the content in this month's issue, a little bird told me (OK, it was Liam Westley) that the MSDN Magazine is now available on your Kindle, thanks to open source eBook tool, Calibre. Get the full details from Liam's blog.
The May issue of the MSDN Magazine is jam-packed full of HTML5 goodness. There's a featured article from from Brandon Satrom, continuing his series on HTML5 with: "Using HTML5 to Create Mobile Experiences". Brandon explores two pillars of responsive Web design—fluid grids and flexible images. Also in this issue is Colin Eberhardt's feature on developing native HTML5 applications for Windows Phone, using the open source Apache Cordova mobile development framework.
But it's not all about HTML5 – other articles in this edition include:
ASP.NET MVC 4: What's New for Mobile Development in ASP.NET MVC 4 This article explores features in the upcoming release of ASP.NET MVC4 targeted specifically at mobile Web site development. Keith Burnell
ASP.NET: Introducing the Navigation for ASP.NET Web Forms Framework Take a fresh look at Web Forms with this new navigation framework that eliminates tight coupling and codebehind while providing for unit-tested data-bound code and many other advantages. It's enough to make an ASP.NET MVC application green with envy. Graham Mendick
T4 Templates: Managing Complexity in T4 Code-Generation Solutions Building monolithic code generation solutions is every bit as evil as building a monolithic application. Here are all the ways you can refactor your code generation solution into reusable components. Peter Vogel

Dear Scarlett,
Well I am still trying to catch up! You and your sister keep me a little busy these days, and so I am getting a bit behind on your letters. In good news, though, even though I stink about writing about all the fun we are having, we are STILL having so much fun that I cannot stand it. You and your sister are the best!
So, let's start with Saturday, the 14th. It was a hot day, and we decided to check one thing off our summer bucket list...strawberry picking! You spent most of the time just checking things out from the beco, but your sister had a blast. Grandma and Grandpa Mason kept one strawberry in each hand for her! I thought she was going to turn into a strawberry! Don't worry, Smoosh, I am sure you will be joining her next year!
After that, we went up to the lake to rinse Miss Ellie off. Dad and Ellie played in the water and you and I cuddled on the deck. You enjoyed the fresh air! You two snoozed a little in the car, then it was off to a couple graduation parties. You were quite the charmer as usual, giving your big, drooly grins to anyone who as holding you!
Sunday was Father's day, so we got the opportunity to celebrate the fact that you and Ellie have the BEST dad! I love watching him with you, he is just smitten over you girls!
Monday we decided to hit the park. Of course your sister loved burning off some energy (and seeing a train even!) You were pretty content as usual and happy to be cuddled and talk to, and just take in everything around you. In the afternoon we played outside at home. Daddy moved my swing up by Ellie's playhouse so we can relax in that while Ellie is climbing and sliding. You two like cuddling in it together, too.
Tuesday we decided to go strawberry picking AGAIN, since we pretty much had already polished off the strawberries we picked on Saturday. I guess Ellie takes after Mommy and Daddy in being strawberry monsters. There was a nice breeze so you snoozed in your carseat. I was able to pick some berries so that we actually have some to freeze, and your sister, of course was happy as a clam to eat more berries!
After that, you guys headed back to Grandma's while I headed to the gym for practice. Grandma and Grandpa wore you guys out, because you both took great naps.
Wednesday you were up a bit early. No problem, that just means that I got some sweet cuddle time before your sister got up. You are so happy in the mornings, my little Squish! I love you. Your happy little smile starts my day off right!
We had some errands to run, then it was back home for nap time. Well, except storms rolled through and the power went out. Arg. Not good when we have a toddler who depends on her noise machines and a baby who depends on her swing. So suffice it to say it was a bit of a long afternoon for us all.
Thursday we headed to the breastfeeding coalition meeting. We took Ellie too, which was quite an adventure. She wanted to be a good big sister and play with ALL of the babies. We got you weighed and you are still perfectly on track, hovering around that 50th percentile point at 14lbs 11oz.
You also started playing with the exersaucer after I dug it out for you. You love it! Now if I could just get your sister to stop trying to climb in. She can climb in, but not out...which is pretty hysterical to us both....
Friday I ad to go to Chicago, so you spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa. I know that they love spending time with you and your sister, but I have to tell you. I miss you so much when I'm not with you. You two really are my sunshine. I was very glad to get home even after a LOOOOOONG day and cuddle with my favorite girlies.
So that is week 20, princess! More to come as I get back on track...
I love you,
