Avon Skin So Soft, 2.0-------
The mother of one of my childhood best friends was a real-life Avon lady, back in the days when hawking beauty products was a door-to-door affair. As kids, one of our greatest pleasures was rifling through her bulky carrying case of shimmering shadows and waxy lipsticks, powders in every fleshy tone, and all manner of silky lotions. My own mother, on the other hand, did not—and still doesn't—wear a trace of makeup, so the only Avon product that we stockpiled in our house was Skin So Soft. The lavender and citrus-scented bath oil had a seemingly endless array of uses—from makeup remover and massage oil to insect repellent and wood polish. With the latest incarnation of the vitamin A and E-rich chamomile extract and sunflower seed oil blend, Avon has focused its multipurpose formula squarely on addressing skin's imperfections—think stretch marks, scars, discoloration, and uneven tone. The new Skin So Soft Perfecting Oil targets clarity, but it also manages to smooth complexions, improve elasticity, and add a generally appealing sheen to skin as well—which just means that there are two Avon oils I'll be stocking up on for summer's last gasp.
The Return Of the Avon Lady-------
With the economy still tanking in most parts of the world, many people are finding themselves unemployed and/or obsolete in industries that are being dissolved. For the optimist, forced joblessness means a free pass to new horizons; for the beauty-inclined in England, it apparently means joining the few, the proud, the Avon sales team. The U.K.'s Daily Mail reported an increase in interest for direct-selling businesses like Avon—15 percent in the last three months alone—which is also seeing a shift in its recruits. Stay-at-home mothers who go door-to-door with the company's range of cosmetics and perfumes to earn a little extra cash have been replaced by city and retail workers hit hard by the economic downturn, and even (gasp!) men. Since women have a reputation for drowning their sorrows in pots of face cream and flacons of fragrance, now does seem like an opportune time to get in on the game, although a culture of mistrust and cynicism might prevent the whole traveling-salesman thing from ever making a real resurgence on this side of the pond. Just out of curiosity, how badly would you need that case of Skin So Soft to let a stranger come into your home and pitch you product?

A capital management firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, may benefit from a recent U.S. District Court's jury announcement stating that Marvell Technology Group Ltd. should have to pay almost $1.2 billion in damages to Carnegie Mellon University for infringing on the university's integrated-circuit technology, said a recent report. The company, which makes computer chips for cellular phones, is based in Bermuda.
The company's infringement was found to be willful which provides grounds for the U.S. District Judge in the case to triple the jury award, according to the university's intellectual property attorneys. The president of Stadtler Capital Management based out of Fort Worth holds a short position on Marvell Technology so it stands to benefit if the company's stock should fall in light of the jury's announcement.
In 2009, Carnegie Mellon University sued Marvell Technology Group over its use of two of the university's patents, which were issued in 2001 and 2002. The patents include methods in which filtering out noise or unwanted electrical signals allow stored data to be detected on a computer's hard- disk drive. The university complaint stated that a minimum of nine different types of circuits used by Marvell utilized the school's inventions.
Apparently the jury in the case tried in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania agreed with the school's claims. Marvell's last fiscal year saw almost $3 billion dollars in revenue. If the judge triples the jury's damage award, the company could be in dire straits. A company, even a research university's patents and inventions are often its lifeline to future growth and innovation and when its patents and intellectual property are infringed upon it can be critical to its survival to protect its rights to exclusive use or licensing of that technology.

Our Houston, Texas, law handles a wide range of commercial and business litigation issues, including intellectual property infringement matters similar to the one discussed in the above post.

Advice on Selling Old phone
So, I recently got a new phone and now I have nothing to do with my old phone.
I really want to sell it, but gazelle, and bestbuy are probably going to lowball me. I tried craigslist and that ended up terribly, and I can't use ebay. Any advice I can use or options that I could do?

Habib Beye
Name:Habib Beye
Date of Birth:19/10/1977
Height:6' 0" (182cm)
Weight:12st 6lbs (79.0kg)
Previous Clubs:Doncaster Rovers, Doncaster Rovers (loan), Newcastle, Marseille, Strasbourg
This desire to put in the hard yards on the training ground follows a season to forget for the jovial right-back.
He played in both legs of the Europa League clash against Rapid Vienna and also started in the 2-1 League Cup win over Burnley.
But, other than that, his appearances were limited to fleeting cameos off the bench.
He'll be hoping 2011-12 is better, as he looks to see off the likes of Luke Young and Carlos Cuellar for the right-back spot.
Beye joined Villa from Newcastle United in August 2009, to bolster the club's defensive options.
He looked to have made the right-back spot his own in the opening weeks, starting the first three Premier League matches as well as both legs of the Europa League play-off against Rapid Vienna.
But his opportunities were limited when Cuellar nailed down the spot on the right of Villa's defence.
However, the Senegalese international was selected in the matchday squad for most games.
He got his chance to shine in FA Cup wins over Blackburn Rovers and Brighton, as well as a Carling Cup victory over Cardiff City.
Beye has a wealth of experience from his long stint in French football.
After finding opportunities limited at Paris St-Germain, his career took off when he moved to RC Strasbourg in 1998.
His consistent displays during a five-year spell there caught the attention of French giants Olympique Marseille, who soon snapped him up.
In 2004, Beye featured alongside the likes of Mathieu Flamini, Fabien Barthez and Didier Drogba as Marseille reached the UEFA Cup final, where they were eventually beaten by Valencia.
Following his move to Tyneside in 2007, Beye became a cult hero, although he was unable to prevent the Magpies being relegated in 2008-09.
Beye won 35 caps for Senegal and represented them in the 2002 World Cup.

Chuck Hartsell and Chance Shirley formed Crewless Productions in the spring of 2001 as they began shooting The Seven Year Switch, their first collaborative movie effort, on digital video. Both had previously dabbled in moviemaking. Hartsell wrote and directed a student film called The Clock, and Shirley co-wrote and starred in a no-budget short called Goodnight, Springton.
The public responded positively to The Seven Year Switch, especially in Hartsell's and Shirley's hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, where Switch screened at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival.
Encouraged by their success with The Seven Year Switch, Hartsell and Shirley began planning a follow-up. After meeting local cinematographer Rick Snyder, Hartsell and Shirley invested in an Arriflex 16mm film camera. Together with Snyder, they began work on Reciprocity, another short. It premiered at the 2002 Sidewalk fest.
In early 2003, Hartsell and Shirley put together Birthday Call. Originally shot as a gift for a friend, the less-than-three-minute comedy/horror movie became the most successful Crewless production to date, playing a few fests, including ZombieDance in Texas.
Birthday Call went over so well that Hartsell and Shirley decided to produce a feature-length comedy/horror movie. They brought on Stacey Sessions (Chance's then girlfriend/now wife) as a producer, traded the Arri 16mm in for an Aaton Super 16mm, and started shooting Hide and Creep in late 2003.
Hartsell and Shirley were happy to premiere Hide and Creep, at the 2004 Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. The movie was released on DVD by the Asylum in the summer of 2005. It aired several times on the SyFy (then Sci Fi) cable channel and was re-released on "special edition" DVD by Celebrity Video Distribution in October 2009.
The next Crewless feature, Interplanetary, is expected to arrive on home video March 15, 2011.
For the latest Crewless news and whatnot, check out Chance's blog, "Tacos and Beer."

Oceana's Mom
When I adopted Oceanna she came with a cuttlebone and two blocks one pink and one grey. I am not sure whether these are iodine blocks or just mineral blocks. When I decided to buy one instead of guessing I couldn't find one at my local Petsmart. I will post pictures if needed.I think she is showing signs of iodine deficiency so I think I need to put one in her cage.:budgie:

Score distribution:
Positive: 32 out of 40
Mixed: 8 out of 40
Negative: 0 out of 40
There are over 30 different maps to try out in Ninjatown, and a decent multiplayer mode to boot, so there's plenty of content here that'll appeal to strategy fans.
Don't let the cutie-pie exterior fool you — Ninjatown is a gamer's game through and through.
There's a ton of levels, lots of cool ninjas, and a strong multiplayer mode. This game is highly addictive.
A great game, providing solid, fun gameplay that left me feeling challenged enough (and addicted enough) to keep playing. With each battle lasting about ten minutes, this is a perfect title to play in short bursts and makes for an ideal portable title.
Although Ninjatown's gameplay is not necessarily my style, it is at its heart a worthy and very sound tower defence game.
The presentation and love put into the character designs and attention to detail carries the simplistic and overly easy gameplay further than it should. If you want a gentle introduction to the genre, this is absolutely perfect.
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 4

May 26, 2011A very adorable game that has a nice reference to Dragon Ball Z in it. A nice tower-defense strategy to play on-the-go if you're bored. Just don't expect to play it for long; the action gets VERY repetitive VERY quickly.… Collapse

The Bottom Line
- Complex, interesting characters
- Suspenseful story - You won't want to put it down
- Believable voice
- Interesting look at Afghanistan
- Intense, potentially upsetting content (not for children)
- Themes that touch all humanity - love, cruelty, redemption
- A setting worth learning about - Afghanistan from the monarchy through the Taliban
- A page turning, heart rending story of friendship and secrets
Guide Review - Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - Book Review
Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.
The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attached to Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me, and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world.
I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs(see Kite Runner Book Club Discussion Questions). For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.

Architectural gems in Brighton and Hove that need to be saved before it is too late
12:00pm Friday 18th April 2014 in News By Neil Vowles
WHITE LODGE ON THE CLIFF argued for by Kitty Edwards Jones
Having one knighted architect responsible for your creation is generally enough to preserve a property's status but the White Lodge is doubly special in that it combines the work of two leading architects.
Roedean School architect Sir John Simpson created the initial designs for its construction in 1903 while Edward Lutyens, the mastermind of the Cenotaph, added elegant wings to the original house and sumptuous gardens which remain to this day.
The house in Roedean is also the story of a great love affair between Lutyens and owner Victoria Sackville-West, who playfully referred to each other as MacSack and MacNed.
The house, now divided into seven flats, is the world-renowned Lutyens' only significant building in the city and as much a Sussex Bloomsbury landmark as Charleston House near Lewes.
Kitty Edwards Jones attempted to get the house listed in 2001 and had the backing of many esteemed groups including the 20th Century Society and the Ancient Monuments Society.
She said: "It was unforgiveable behaviour by the council to allow the developer virtually free rein to destroy a symmetrical wing of a Lutyens' house and removing the unique Lutyens roof and allowing the original tiles to be replaced by a bright green roof."
2 PORTLAND PLACE argued for by Sarah Gibbings
No one of note is ever believed to have lived in 2 Portland Place and nothing of particular interest ever took place there.
And that is precisely why, according to Sarah Gibbings, it should be retained, revered and restored to glory to mark the everyday lives that were played out within its walls.
The "beautiful, elegant house" was designed by Brunswick Squire mastermind Charles Busby as part of Brighton's building boom of the 1820s.
In recent years the home had been part of an attempted renovation which had seen 11 skips of period interior removed.
She said: "I choose this house because there are thousands like them at risk, at risk from a lack of knowhow, at risk from neglect, at risk from the seafront water and risk of mismanagement.
"People lived out their lives and that was it and that was what the house was built for."
ROYAL SPA PORTICO IN QUEEN'S PARK, BRIGHTON argued for by Delia Forester
Thousands used to flock to the Royal Spa for the latest in lifeenhancing treatments but now the pitter-patter of children at the nearby nursery is the closest it gets to the mayhem of a shopping spree.
The Spa was originally built in 1823 for Dr Struve of Dresden, who sold manufactured spa water from taps in the building to wealthy visitors in spite of the obvious hurdle that there was no spring in Brighton.
The Spa had its heyday in the 1830s and such was its popularity a large hall of up to 60 feet in length was constructed to meet demand.
It was changed to the Royal German Spa in honour of the King although the German part of the name was dropped after the Second World War.
As its usage as a spa declined it was converted into a factory making mineral waters before that closed and the site became derelict.
It survived the prospect of becoming a casino in the 1970s before becoming a nursery which saw the majority of the old building demolished and just the portico retained.
The iconic columns still form an elegant background to a variety of community events including parties, performances of Shakespeare and, in the future, weddings.
Ms Forester said: "Unfortunately, maintenance of the portico has not been a priority and especially after the savage storms this winter it is now in a sorry state of disrepair.
"The council has cordoned off the worst bit to prevent masonry falling on the nursery children's heads, but it seems there is no money to do proper repairs.
"It would be a great shame if this well-loved, elegant Grade II listed piece of architecture should be lost to the community through a lack of basic maintenance."
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman said: "We have only just received notification from the Regency Society about their concerns over the Royal German Spa and will be investigating."
AMEX HOUSE IN EDWARD STREET, BRIGHTON argued for by David Robson
Amex House may seem like an unlikely choice for a conservation group to champion having only been completed 37 years ago.
But society member David Robson argues that its relative young age, just half the average lifespan of a building, is partly the reason the house – affectionately known as the wedding cake – should be preserved.
He argues that the nine-storey building remains of use and with a little upgrading of its interiors could be used as office space for up to 200 small businesses.
Mr Robson claims the office block in Edward Street is "arguably one of the best surviving modern buildings of the 1970s in Brighton" and should be retained as a monument to the architecture of that period.
More than 100,000 tons of chalk were removed during its construction while 45,000 tons of concrete and 4,000 tons of steel were used in its superstructure, all of which Mr Robson argues represents a huge amount of embedded energy which will simply be wiped out when it is demolished.
Finally, Mr Robson argues that while Amex House cost £15 million to build in 1977 it would cost about £80 million to replace it.
He added: "Amex House is unique amongst the buildings that we are considering because it's the only one that really is at risk, it's actually been scheduled for demolition."
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokeswoman said: "The requirement to demolish is two months before the sixth anniversary of the commencement of construction of the new office.
"It is enshrined in the S106 agreement so it is a legal obligation on American Express's part.
"The Regional Design Panel stated that demolition would offset the impact of the new office on views from Pavilion Gardens.
"English Heritage insisted on the demolition of Amex House or the visual impacts would be unacceptable."
THE OLD VICARAGE argued for by John Wells Thorpe
London Road is undergoing a major transition at present but it is hoped that its history will not be forgotten.
Another Charles Busby gem, built in 1825, the Old Vicarage was not built as a vicarage but took on that role with the construction of St Bartholomew's.
Regency Society founder Anthony Dale described the elegant house as the "finest individual regency house in the city".
For the society's vice president John Wells Thorpe it is the small size of the house that makes its rescue feasible.
He is desperate for the site not to suffer the same fate as a similar gem in Richmond Place which was inhabited by squatters and damaged by fire.
He said a similar sense of neglect is beginning at the Old Vicarage, noting that a top window on the property has remained open for more than 17 weeks, allowing all the elements into the house.
Mr Wells Thorpe said he had been finding new uses for buildings for 45 years and saw the premises as an ideal site for a GP or medical centre.
He said: "When you get that downward spiral, it's difficult to halt that momentum.
"This is a project that is do-able, can be turned around in a matter of months and would be financially viable."
MARLBOROUGH HOUSE argued for by Nick Tyson
Marlborough House should be held in the same esteem as The Royal Pavilion, argues Nick Tyson – it just needs the right dedicated owner with deep pockets.
He believes that the Grade I listed building could once again become a jewel in the city if rejuvenated as a bath house or even if it became the private home of a rich individual as it had been in the past.
Architecture guru Sir Nikolaus Pevsner no less proclaimed it to be "the finest house in Brighton" while Mr Tyson said the building is an example of leading architect Robert Adam's sublime skill to weave his extension around the existing building in the 1780s.
He wants a more proactive council to ensure that the current owner meets the obligations of having the keys to one of the city's grandest buildings or find someone new with the resources and the will to do so.
He said: "Owner and local authority must do better or at least, they must fail better."
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman said: "We don't own the freehold of Marlborough House so can't recall the lease.
"However, we have recently served the owners with an enforcement notice over unauthorised works.
"We have also received a planning application related to the building which is obviously relevant to its future protection."

The s106 agreement could be renegotiated too. But I suspect American Express wants it gone and would not agree to it.

I so agree with David Robson (a first!) about the AMEX building. To my eye it references pagoda architecture and has immense presence. I see no reason why it needs to be demolished - 2016 I believe - and would miss seeing it there. The blue windows are weird, but I have never been able to imagine what would work better.
The s106 agreement could be renegotiated too. But I suspect American Express wants it gone and would not agree to it.

PETA against Rihanna and Lady Gaga
Do not stop the controversy between the world of pop stars and that of the animal. After seeing Rihanna wear and show off an expensive pair of boots in snakeskin, PETA is in fact match the attack, hitting the sides of the singer and fellow Lady Gaga in the past paparazzi with huge fur:
Morrissey's new spokesperson for PETA
Morrissey has never hidden his love for animals. Just take a look at his discography: the second album by the Smiths, the famous group founded with Johnny Marr in the early '80s, he was called Meat Is Murder (meat is murder, ed) and the title track remains one of the hymns Vegetarians most famous ever.

Scouring the globe for bullpen help
Let the hilarity ensue. I honestly thought this was a joke at first... "Singh came to the United States with Patel after being declared winner of the Million Dollar Arm contest in India, run by promoter Jeff Bernstein, Barry Bonds' marketing agent. The contest — the second edition is scheduled to begin this month and targets India because of its population of 1.1 billion even though the country has never produced a major leaguer — was based on those who could throw the most pitches 85 mph or faster for strikes. Singh consistently hit 87 mph and earned $100,000. When veteran major league scout Ray Poitevint went to India to see whether he had potential, he also recommended Patel, who threw harder but wasn't as accurate. " So they can throw harder than Byrd. That's a plus. "There will be at least 20 major league teams represented at the workout, Borris says; at least a half-dozen teams, including the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians, confirmed to USA TODAY they will attend." And the cherry on top: "Their favorite pitcher is Cliff Lee of the Cleveland Indians." All kidding aside, I have no clue what to actually make of this. It does make for an interesting read.

MoH gets $1m to facilitate Cuban medical volunteers
The South African government has donated$ 1 million towards the facilitation of Cuban volunteer specialist doctors working in the country.
South African Ambassador Gladstone Dumisani Gwadiso handed over the cheque to Health Minister Dr. Richard Sezibera in the presence of the Permanent Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Eugene Munyakayanza.
The money is meant to facilitate the work of 31 Cuban medical volunteers who have been in the country for a year.
Dr. Sezibera thanked the South African and Cuban governments for what he termed as a unique cooperation arrangement to assist Rwanda.
I think it is a unique cooperation agreement, a unique example of the south to south cooperation which shows that a lot can be done if countries put their energies together, the minister said.
We are very happy for the work being done by the Cuban medical brigade in availing to our people special medical care. They serve beyond their call of duty.
There is a need to have a bond that should never be broken, and I believe no country can enjoy democracy without the presence of basic needs, and this is one of them, the South African envoy stressed.
Speaking to The New Times thereafter, Dr. Maria Amalia Pato, the head of the Cuban doctors, underscored that she was grateful for the tripartite cooperation between South Africa, Rwanda and Cuba.
She noted that for the five years her countrys doctors have been coming to help out in Rwanda, the cooperation has matured from a mere project to concrete reality.
We thank the Ministry of Health for giving us the opportunity to work with them and we thank the South African Embassy for providing logistical support, she added.
According to Dr. Pato, her colleagues have treated approximately 461,000 patients today.
David Lazaro, a Cuban oncologist based at King Faisal Hospital says he has travelled all over the country, treating cancer patients.

Update: Co-creator Mark Frost has put some cold water on these rumors, tweeting: "Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by. Sincerely yours, @mfrost11" Bummer.
As far as any associations that "Fringe" or "The Killing" might attempt, there would have to be quite an effort made to unseat David Lynch's legendary TV show, "Twin Peaks." 22 years after Laura Palmer first disappeared, the procedural's fans still remain dedicated, and if recent rumblings are anything to go by, those over at ABC are hoping those core followers are indeed looking for more.
A number of loose strands have come together to hint at a third season of "Twin Peaks," starting with co-creator Mark Frost saying that a new storyline is "something we talk about from time to time… If we ever do decide to move forward, I know we have a rich trove to draw from." Then, the Twin Peaks Archive Twitter posted an anonymous account (taken from the 4chan message board) from someone supposedly inside NBC, who recounted a recent meeting Lynch took with executives to bring the show back.
The unnamed poster describes Lynch as wanting the original cast back (which includes Kyle MacLachlan and Michael Ontkean), for a story taking place in the present day, and a hands-on role at the center of the creative team (to which the execs apparently balked somewhat). Adding some credence to the unsubstantiated details, Frost has spoken about the present-day timeline, and also certain cast and crew members, like actress Catherine E. Coulson ("The Log Lady") and writer/producer Robert Engels, have been contacted for a possible reprisal of their roles.
All this to say that these are rumors at this point, but a collection of not-entirely-illogical circumstances in which to explore them. Lynch has certainly dabbled in TV as of late, from brilliant guest appearances on not only "Louie," but also "The Cleveland Show," so why not trace back around to his signature television creation? Either way, we'd be glad to have it back. [Uproxx/MovieHole]

I, and most folks I know, would wholeheartedly welcome TP back, with as many original cast members back as possible, given the following parameters: A) they maintain a dedicated showrunner to avoid the awful storylines from the last few episodes of the second season; and B) they somehow figure out how to get the great Ray Wise back in to that world. End.
Ben | January 3, 2013 1:07 PM
Twin Peaks DID NOT air on NBC. It aired on ABC.
Pieter Dom | January 3, 2013 11:38 AM
This rumor has already been debunked yesterday by Twin Peaks co-creator, Mark Frost.

Big Data, Big Conversation: Drexel University's Journey to Meaningful Assessment
Wednesday, November 16, 2011
2:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Learning outcomes assessment is an opportunity and a challenge for educators. There is great potential for further engaging faculty and students, documenting authentic data on student learning, and deepening our understanding of curricular and organizational change on student outcomes. The challenges are myriad: resources, culture, shifting requirements, complexity.
Please join a panel of experts for a discussion of Drexel University's varied and deep approaches to learning outcomes assessment of 21st-century skills. The session will present the results of multi-year assessment projects, including high-level summaries of thousands of data points, and a candid review of nuts-and-bolts tactical challenges. These assessment projects include work specifically with the business school (AACSB: ethics, communication skills, analytic thinking) and general education and first-year writing (critical thinking, information literacy, writing skills).
- Dr. Rebecca Ingalls, Director of the Freshman Writing Program
- Dr. Karen Nulton, Director of Drexel University Writing Assessment
- Dr. Scott Warnock, Director of the Drexel Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum
- Decentralized, faculty-led assessment: general education
- Sampling of student work: situational assessment for AACSB Assurance of Learning
- Large-scale, formal, normed assessment: first-year writing
The panel has led collaboration across numerous disciplines at Drexel, providing faculty and administrators with multiple pathways to successful assessment of student learning.

Celebrating Colleen
Colleen was a friend I met on an online forum. She was an incredibly sweet woman who had a wealth of knowledge. She was a knitter, spinner, and yarn dyer. She had her own little yarn business called Spiffy Knits. I've only had the privilege of knitting her yarn a couple of times, but it's always been a delight to knit with.
She was diagnosed with a rapidly spreading liver cancer and died peacefully at home on October 17th, 2008. She leaves behind a loving husband, a five year old daughter, a two year old son, and a memory that won't be forgotten.
Many of us have banded together to create beautiful items. We've put them up for sale to raise money for her children's college funds. This was one of her last requests.
Please join us tomorrow as we Celebrate Colleen and raise money for her children. You'll find many beautiful items as well as a set I knit myself.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no Year Zero. Decades run from XXX1 to XX10. So while other MMA sites erroneously ran decade retrospectives last year, Bloody Elbow stayed the course of truth and fact. We polled the staff for their picks in a variety of topics covering the first decade of the third millennium A.D. Here's what they had to say.
Kid Nate: Bonnar vs Griffin definitely had the biggest impact on the business of MMA in the States, but Fedor Emelianenko vs. Mirko Filopovic, aka Cro Cop, at Pride Final Conflict 2005 was the closest MMA came to an Ali vs. Frazier in this decade. Two fearsome heavyweights at the peak of their powers colliding in a heavyweight title fight that exceeded expectations.
Brent Brookhouse: Since this isn't "favorite fight" I'm going to go an unpopular direction. In my mind there's no fight that had the combination of excitement and importance as Stephan Bonnar vs. Forrest Griffin at the finale of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter. The fight pushed the UFC in a huge way and while it's now very trendy to throw hate at the "bad kickboxing" nature of the fight, it remains a great fight in my eyes. It's a combination no other fight before or since has really had.
Mike Fagan: Quinton Jackson vs. Forrest Griffin at UFC 86 had everything that I want from a fight. Two popular, charismatic fighters. A title belt on the line. A confident champion. A scrappy underdog. A long buildup. Five rounds. Knockdowns. Near submissions. Almost slams. Injuries. Adversity overcome. A competitive fight and a judging controversy.
Anton Tabuena: I'm with Brent here. It may not be the best fight in terms of skill and technical prowess, but none of the other fights have this much meaning and importance. I don't think we would be sitting here talking about how great the sport is if Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin didn't steal the attention of millions of fans that night.
Scott Haber: How often do you see a stoppage in the 5th round of a fight? How often do you see it happen again when those two fighters rematch? I could have easily gone the with Bonnar-Griffin here, but I didn't want to just repeat what everyone else said, so my vote's going to Jorge Santiago vs. Kazuo Misaki 2 at Sengoku 14. This fight truly had it all: close submission attempts and knockout blows from both men, nonstop action, sketchy Japanese officiating, and dramatic turn of events in the 5th round leading to Misaki's corner throwing in the towel. It had none of the long-term impact that Griffin-Bonnar had, but since we're not attaching strict definitions to these categories, I'm picking it simply because I enjoyed watching it more than Griffin-Bonnar.
Jonathan Snowden: The most amazing finish in the history of MMA: Matt Hughes versus Carlos Newton at UFC 34. It was more than just another great fight on an amazing night full of great fights. At UFC 33, the promotion was reintroduced to the world. The world was not impressed. If only this had been their first show back on cable television! Things looked bad for Hughes when Newton locked in a triangle. The tables quickly turned when Hughes picked him up in the air and power-bombed him with authority. Both were out, but Newton couldn't recover his wits. The look on Matt's face when teammate Jeremy Horn tells him he'd won UFC Gold is priceless. A spectacular fight.
Chris Barton: I can think of one fight that I feel is at least as important as Bonnar vs Griffin. A fight that was significant, yet also showed amazing top level skills and a razor thin decision. This fight literally had everything. It's one of the most watched fights in MMA history and rewarded the most prestigious title in the sport. The first ever PRIDE/UFC unified belt. That last bit alone makes Dan Henderson vs. Quinton Jackson the fight of the decade.

One thing Schiano noted regarding Barron that stood out to me; he saw a "physical presence" about him on the football field. That's the ONE thing I've NOT seen on video or heard any talent evaluators say about Kuechly, and no doubt drew the Ruud comparisons on the Red Board. It'll be interesting to see the two young men develop. Kuechly's a Kitty now so we'll see him twice a year for a while...
This is a great article on Barronhttp://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/john-lynch-sees-some-of-himself-in-tampa-bay-bucs-draft-pick-mark-barron/1227167
"The instincts, the big-play ability, the toughness, the athletic ability -- he's a game-changer," one NFC executive said. "And he's the type of person that makes the guys around him better. Plus, he makes a lot of plays on his own. With some of these kids, you have to go through three or four games to see them make five plays. This guy makes five plays in one quarter. He can do anything you want him to."Barron is considered the only truly elite prospect in this crop of safeties. Notre Dame's Harrison Smith might sneak in the end of the first round, but that's a result of the fact that there's another steep drop-off after him. One exec said his club has a mid-second-round grade on Smith and added he's "not a difference-maker." Another exec said his team views the former Irish captain as a late-second-round or third-round prospect.
- but game changing S is almost an oxymoron. You can't name many (I'm thinking you might go as as high as 2 in the NFL now - Polomalu and Reed)
really, how many game changing corners are in the NFL now?
Regardless of what his position coach thinks any expert will tell you Claiborne has a better chance of being elite then barron. Barron went so early because it was a huge drop off after him.
Chancellor was used as a nickel LB last year, so maybe they do that with Barron?
In the right defense I would say safeties can be as important as CB's, especially the elite ones, not to compare to the Tampa 2 directly but one of the main aspects of that defense was taking the best players and putting them in the middle of the field, Barber, Brooks, etc.
I like Barron well enough, but I'm not sure he'll ever be a "game-changer". Polamalu, Reed, and Berry are the only "game-changing" Safety's in the league right now, and Barron's not on their level as a player. Good, solid NFL player though. But I still think picking him @ 7 was a reach. Hope he turns into that game-changer over time.

If you've decided you want to diagnose yourself, then your reason may be one of the following:
- You may be trying to avoid seeing a doctor until you know you really need to see a doctor.
- You may be fearful of what your symptoms suggest and want a better handle on the possibilities before you see your doctor.
- You may have already visited your doctor but you have some reason to believe her suggestions are incorrect, or need refinement.
Whatever your reason for wanting to diagnose yourself, there are a few points to consider before you get started:
- I am alive today because I used the internet to explore and determine my diagnosis. Had I not dissected everything I knew about my medical condition, eventually realizing the diagnosis I was given was wrong, I might have undergone needless chemotherapy. Therefore, I am a firm believer that arming yourself with as much knowledge about your diagnosis as possible is an important part of your medical journey.
- No matter how successful you are in determining your diagnosis using the Internet, the library, or any other method, you must still collaborate with a medical professional (your doctor, nurse practitioner or physician's assistant). You may be trying to avoid your doctor, but only your doctor can help to confirm or refute your findings, and/or prescribe medical treatment.
- In this brave new world of self-diagnosis, be aware that you may be putting yourself at risk in at least three ways:
- If you are wrong, and you choose to postpone seeing your doctor, your mistake may cost you life or quality-of-life saving time or treatment or both.
- If you depend on unreliable or non-credible websites to help you determine your diagnosis, you may be putting life and limb in jeopardy.
- If you use your knowledge to make your doctor angry, he or she may be unwilling to work with you.
- If you are wrong, and you choose to postpone seeing your doctor, your mistake may cost you life or quality-of-life saving time or treatment or both.
With those thoughts in mind, here are the steps to take to diagnose yourself using the Internet:

In Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can choose a set of styles that are designed to work together. The style colors and formats in a single style set create an attractive and readable document.
All you have to do is choose the Quick Style set that is appropriate for the document that you are creating and then apply the styles from the convenient Quick Styles gallery while you create your document. You can also apply a different Quick Style set at any time.
When you start to work on a new document, you can choose from several predesigned Quick Style sets, such as Modern. Each Quick Style set may include styles for several heading levels, body text, quotes, and titles that are designed to work together in a single document.
The gallery of Quick Styles changes to reflect the Quick Style set that you clicked. You can then use all of the styles in the gallery to build your document.

The document styles change to reflect the new Quick Style set.
Note The Quick Style set reflects the styles that have been applied in the document. For example, if all of the headings in the document have Heading 2 styles applied, the Quick Style set will apply a Heading 2 style. The Quick Style set does not fix formatting errors.
Tip You can see how a Quick Style set will look in a document by pointing to a Quick Style set without clicking it. When you click the Quick Style set, it is applied to the document.

Ok so now that I'm good and fired up its time to really touch this subject.
So some of us watched with a sense of disbelief, others just had the "there go the flyers again" mind set when Richards bulldozed flower and the melee ensued. Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield were said to have made an appearance during this fracas in the forms of Chris Letang and Scott Hartnell. But this issue is bigger then the Flyers I think. This message sending issue is what the league has said they will "crack down" on. Good job there.
None of us are naive enough to believe that there hasn't been times in seasons past, or won't be times this season where the pens pull the same number. I think most of us hope not, but seriously there will be games where bad blood boils over and next thing you know you have the Hanson's running around like goobers. Now the real problem isn't that some fans support this with the mind set of "let's make them pay for coming into town one way or the other". It's the fact that there are still players on every roster that are on the roster for specifically this purpose. Why has the supposed "crack down" been ineffective, and why is it that blatant issues go with out suspension?
"If it bleeds it leads". That's the philosophy that the NHL has taken in this mess as usual. The only time anything really happens disciplinary wise is when Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin, or Datsyuk is injured. That's why guys like Hartnell, Carcillo, Colton Orr, and so on are in high demand. More people come to the games to see the shenanigans then stay away from it. Remember when Todd Bertuzzi broke a guys neck when he decked him away from the play? That was a story for about 10 minutes. The NHL handed down their suspension and that was about it. Donald Brashear vs Marty McSorely, Tie Domi vs Ulf Samuelsson. The list goes on and on. So where is the straw that broke the camels back? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying eliminate fighting, I am saying lets make things 100% clear, after the whistle any kind of shenanigans get you a 2 minute minor, second time in a game you get a game misconduct. You wont be able to eliminate fighting, but the fact is continuing on this path will only drive fans from the seat now.
The coaches have got to get a handle on their players. That has to be reinforced from the top down. But there are a lot of old school coaches out there that love to make each opposing team pay every time they play. Guys like Jim Schoenfield, The Mullet, and Mike Keenan are no longer with any organizations' and I say good riddance, Hockey is fast, its fancy, its intended to showcase the great talents. Guys like Simon Gange, Richards, Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Alex Ovechkin , Pavel Datsyuk, Bobby Ryan, Tavares, Getzlaf. The game has passed the likes of Carcillo, Orr, and their comrades, its time we do too.
And now a poll.

Enfield, Eagles Sign Bernard Thompson to NLI
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Just days after landing his first recruit as head coach of the FGCU men's basketball program, Andy Enfield announced on Friday that Bernard Thompson (Rockdale, Ga./Rockdale County HS) has signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to join the program in 2011-12.
Thompson, a senior at Rockdale County (GA) High School, joins Winter Park point guard Brett Comer (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park HS) as an incoming freshmen signed by Enfield and his staff this week. A 6-foot-3 guard, Thompson will have four years of eligibility.
"Bernard Thompson has high character and is an unselfish basketball player," said Enfield. "He has competed at the national level in both high school and AAU, and is a proven winner. His talent level and strong work ethic make Bernard a tremendous addition to our basketball program."
Thompson helped lead the Bulldogs to their first Georgia Class 4A State Championship appearance since 1987 this past season, averaging 17 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals over the 32 games. Under the direction of head coach Alvin Williams, Thompson was named to the Atlanta Journal Constitution Class 4A All-State second team and Rockdale Citizen All-Area first team, while leading Rockdale to a 26-6 record.
An all-around scorer with a knack for getting to the basket, Thompson reached the 20-point plateau in 10 games, getting to the free throw 180 times. Thompson was also a threat from beyond the arc, making 39 three-pointers, including multiple threes in a game on 12 occasions. His 6.5 rebounds per game came on the strength of six double-doubles.
Rockdale's run at a state championship fell one game short, as the Bulldogs fell to Miller Grove, who finished 32-1 and ranked No. 2 in the state of Georgia, in the title game. In the regular season, Thompson scored a season-high 27 points against Miller Grove, who finished No. 7 in the final USA Today Super 25 Boys' Basketball ranking.
"It's very good for coaches to build relationships and I believe coach Enfield's great relationship with Bernard was crucial," said Rockdale high school head coach Alvin Williams. "Bernard is a phenomenal player who can score in a variety of ways. He's a very poised and mature player who will be the first guy in the gym and the last out. His dedication to the classroom is just as strong. FGCU is a great choice and perfect fit for Bernard."
Thompson capped his season on Tuesday night when he scored 33 points in the senior All-Star game between Newton and Rockdale counties. His 33 points was highlighted by 26 in the first half on five three-pointers. The game featured several Division I commits.

Album Remarks & Appraisals:
MusicWeb International
As a document this 6 CD set is as invaluable as the music it contains which includes some extra tracks from Tubby's Groove that had been auditioned by Blue Note and then lost and which has taken 50 years to find and release. The restoration of sound quality is excellent and you have to constantly remind yourself that these recordings date back almost 60 years. I've already mentioned what excellent notes Simon Spillett's are which tell the full story behind the recordings.

Lady Gaga? Britney Spears? Who Is (Or Isn't) Performing At The Grammy Awards?
The Grammy Awards are still a little over a month away, and rumors about performers are starting to surface everywhere online.
On Tuesday, Lady Gaga's choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, Tweeted, "Grammy meeting performance extrodinaire..!!! On it's way…TeamBoomkack." She followed up with another Tweet, writing, "Yes," when asked by a follower if she was hinting about a Grammy performance by the "Born This Way" singer.
Earlier this week Perez Hilton reported that Britney Spears was performing at the Grammys also surfaced, but a rep for the pop star told Us Weekly that the "Hold It Against Me" singer would not be performing. Access Hollywood has seen photos, however, of the pop princess heading into a dance studio for what are reportedly rehearsals.
Grammy reps previously told Access Hollywood, "Until a press release is issued by The Recording Academy, there are no performers or presenters confirmed."
The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will take place live on CBS on Sunday, February 13, 2011 (note: Lady Gaga has announced that her new single will be released that same day).

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has revealed that the Black Cats have received an impressive offer from Stoke City for their midfielder Lee Cattermole.
Quoted in the Northern Echo, Poyet said:
"From the beginning of the morning, we started to deal with the Lee Cattermole situation. I am late because in the last few hours we have got to a really impressive point. The offer and the situation is not easy. Nothing is finalised. It is still ongoing."
Cattermole would be a significant departure for Sunderland, having first joined the club from Wigan Athletic back in 2009. He's made 14 Premier League appearances this season and has been a significant part of Poyet's side, though Stoke's bid is seemingly big enough for the Black Cats to loosen their grip on the tough-tackler.
The 25-year-old didn't train for Sunderland today, though having sat out the last match with a knock, that may be meaningless.

Being based in the centre of the country we are ideally placed to serve web design and SEO clients throughout the whole of the UK. Meeting face-to-face with clients is important for us as it helps create an excellent working rapport so that we can quickly move designs and work forwards. However with modern technology the need to be in the same room at the same time isn't necessary. For clients who are based further away we use a mixture of videoconferencing and online screen sharing software to make sure we still keep that personal touch.
The main bulk of our clients do tend to be based within a reasonable travelling distance of our office in Northamptonshire.
Having said that we still have a large number of clients spread throughout the UK and abroad. Although we may not be able to physically travel to these clients for every meeting we still keep a very close working relationship.
How We Work with You
This close working relationship is one of the key factors in the way we treat our clients. Creating a successful online marketing tool is much much easier if you feel comfortable asking all the questions that come to mind and we reply in an easily understandable way. You gain a much better understanding of how the whole web design and SEO processes work so your contribution to the ongoing development of the project is far greater.
By helping you understand how to best use your website and develop your SEO strategies you can become much more self-sufficient but also feel much more comfortable about the services and work people like ourselves do for you.

Comparing underwater refinance plans: Ours vs. theirsby Tim Manni
The Obama Administration released another program this week design to help American homeowners. The FHA 'short refinance' program is designed to help current borrowers who can't refinance because they're underwater.
Under the FHA's program, and in order to participate, lenders must voluntarily agree to reduce the borrower's principal by at least 10%. Once the borrower's loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is reduced to at least 97.75%, the mortgage will be refinanced into an FHA loan.
Sounds great, right? The advantage to the borrower is obvious: they get to refinance their loan at today's record-low mortgage rates. However, there's only one real advantage to the lender/investor (remember this program is voluntary): the "risky" loan is removed from its books.
"It's essentially the hopeful prevention of some future loss," explains HSH VP Keith Gumbinger.
HUD estimates that between 500,000 and 1.5 million borrowers will refinance under this plan. "The net economic benefits will be between $11.774 and 35.322 billion." I'm always skeptical and perplexed every time Washington puts a huge number on how many borrowers will benefit from their programs (given their track record for estimating these numbers) — it opens them up to immediate criticism (think HAMP).
Our own idea
HSH spent quite a bit of time thinking about underwater borrowers and developed our own concept to help these borrowers refinance their mortgages. We think it's a program that is fair to homeowners, taxpayers and lenders/investors as well. It's called the Value-Gap Refinance plan.
Our plan
First a "value gap" is established by taking the original loan amount against the current value of the home. A "value gap contract" would be executed between the lender/investor and the government to cover the differential between the outstanding loan amount and the current value of the home. This amount, or payment, would not be made today, but rather deferred to the time when the property has been sold to another party.
Under this arrangement, the borrower would refinance to the present appraised value of the home. This would produce a new mortgage at a 100 percent LTV at today's market interest rates. The homeowner would not be responsible for the difference in amounts.
Over time, natural price appreciation would serve to narrow the gap to the point where the government owes the lender or investor nothing. Any price appreciation after that belongs to the borrower when or if they decide to sell.
The entire plan can be seen here.
While no plan is perfect, there are several key aspects of ours that set it apart from the FHA's. Instead of penalizing one party for the benefit of another, our plan is mutually beneficial and potentially more cost effective.
1) Penalizing lenders: The FHA short refi plan financially penalizes lenders, requiring them to reduce borrower principal out of their own pocket by at least 10%.
Our program never requires lenders to put up their own money, or collect funds on anything less than the original loan amount.
2) You might still be underwater: Even after an FHA short refi, the borrower could still be underwater. If you have a second mortgage and the second lien holder doesn't agree to extinguish the entire second mortgage, you could still be allowed to refi to an FHA loan with a total LTV of up to 115%. That puts you and the FHA at risk.
3) Lower credit score: Under the FHA plan, a borrower's credit score could be negatively affected:
Mortgagees must make borrowers aware that, as with any loan forgiveness action, the short refinancing under this program may be reflected as a negative feature on a borrower's credit score.
Our program wouldn't lower a borrower's credit score because the lender is never collecting less than the original loan amount, thus has no reason to report a deficiency to any credit bureau.
4) Government costs: Unlike the FHA plan, our plan is designed so that the government's costs decline over time:
As time goes on, and home prices eventually recover, the amount of the value gap contract would diminish. This change of the contract value amount would happen at the time an appraisal was conducted in preparation for the home to be sold to another party.
HUD explains that any loss associated with loans that have been refinanced into the FHA (but subsequently fail) will be shared by the FHA and funds from the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.
Which plan makes more sense?
We'll let you be the judge of that. We really encourage you to read our Value-Gap Refinance plan in full and let us know what you think.

The Fresh Market has announced the opening date for its new store in Lynchburg.
The grocery store, the company's tenth in the Commonwealth, will open September 11 at 8:00 a.m.. Grand opening activities will include chef demonstrations, food sampling throughout the store, and drawings for The Fresh Market gift cards, the company said in a news release.

The latest store will be located at 3901 Old Forest Road, in The Fresh Market Station shopping center.
Last month, The Fresh Market held a job fair in Lynchburg, announcing it was hiring up to 90 workers as managers and other food specialists.
The 24,600 square foot store will include a bakery that produces 30 freshly baked breads and 14 different pie varieties daily, a full service meat counter with freshly ground beef, a wide selection of ready-to-serve entrées, fresh seafood delivered to the store several times per week, and more than 200 imported and domestic cheeses, according to the chain.

Hi my screenname is 10incherdangler but my real name is joseph dangler just to let everyone know right now..
I kind of have a request to the game programmers and game designers towards the mastery pages. I think since we now allow people to get up over 20 pages of rune pages for the limit i believe we should allow mastery pages to be capped at 20 as well.
If it is too much of an issue for allowance of more masteries you guys can charge ip or rp for more mastery pages, but i prefer to have more mastery pages for as many champions as we have on league of legends, which is over 90 plus champions that not all the 10 masteries can coexist for deciding on the 90 champions to choose from. So I ask other summoners to join and help push for more mastery pages and hopefully we can have a set up of 20 for everyone to be able to have better choices when setting them up without having to go back and forth with which champ to choose from.
If people are questioning why add more masteries than I question everyone why do we have a cap of 20 rune pages instead of 10? I say make it fair and equal for the mastery pages with the rune pages thank you.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is set to begin a project that will make more than $9.5 million of improvements to US 62 (east 19th Street) in the city of Lubbock. The project is being funded through Proposition 12 bonds.
Beginning November 15, crews from The Lane Construction Corp. will begin work to rehabilitate more than three miles of east 19th Street said Stevan Perez, P.E., Littlefield Area engineer overseeing the project.
TxDOT says the project will make improvements to the pavement and they say will enhance the overall safety of the roadway. They will install up-to-date lighting, upgrade guardrail and ADA elements, make drainage improvements and install solar powered flashing beacons at the Broadway intersection.
Crews will begin with minor construction work placing barricades and traffic barrels, and reducing traffic to one lane in each direction, from Avenue A to Martin Luther King (MLK) Boulevard, Perez said, with major construction on the project scheduled to begin after the Thanksgiving holiday.
The project's completion date is scheduled for late (December) 2011.
