Wine Spectator: 91 points; "wonderful ... at a can't-miss price"; Wine Advocate: "one of the finest values in California wine"
We were thrilled to see the praise for the Patelin de Tablas from two respected reviewers recently. The Wine Spectator gave the wine 91 points and the comments "a wonderful mix of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise from Paso Robles at a can't-miss price" [read full review] and Antonio Galloni, in the August 2011 Wine Advocate, called it "a plump, mouthfilling red loaded with fruit and sheer character" and "one of the finest values in California wine". [more recent press]
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas is a blend of four red Rhône varietals: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise. The wine incorporates fruit from seven top Rhône vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like many red wines from the Rhône Valley, it is based on the dark fruit, mineral and spice of Syrah, with the brightness and fresh acidity of Grenache, the structure and meatiness of Mourvèdre and a small addition of Counoise for complexity.
Grapes for the Patelin de Tablas are sourced from two limestone-rich regions in Paso Robles: the warm Adelaida Hills and the cool Templeton Gap:
The 2010 vintage saw healthy rainfall after three years of drought. The ample early-season groundwater and a lack of spring frosts produced a good fruit set. A very cool summer delayed ripening by roughly three weeks, with harvest not beginning until mid-September and still less than half complete in mid-October. Warm, sunny weather between mid-October and mid-November allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and cool temperatures combined to produce fruit with intense flavors and dark color at low alcohol levels.
Patelin de Tablas grapes were harvested from La Vista Vineyard on September 24th, from Briarwood on September 29th and November 19th, from Vina del Sol on October 1st, Edward Sellers Vineyard on October 20th, from Chequera Vineyard on October 20th and 21st and from Glenrose Vineyard on November 18th. The various lots from Tablas Creek were harvested between September 28th and November 18th.
All varietals for the Patelin de Tablas were destemmed and fermented in either open-top or closed stainless steel fermenters with only native yeasts. After fermentation, the wines were racked and blended, aged in a mix of stainless steel and 1200-gallon foudres, and bottled in June 2011.
The 2010 Patelin de Tablas marries the spice, mineral and structure of Syrah with the generous fruit of Grenache, the backbone of Mourvedre and the brightness of Counoise. Drink it now or over the next decade.

The New York Post reports the Russian Olympic team has been in talks with American Apparel since 2011, negotiating a deal for the brand to produce their uniforms for 2014. CEO Dov Charney told The Post; "[Russian Olympic team representatives] said they didn't want anything that was made in China. It's not just for the uniforms — it's also the merchandise." Fashionista contacted a rep from American Apparel, who told them that Charney has offered to help Ralph Lauren re-produce the current Team USA uniforms: "American Apparel could start working on uniforms today and have them in London within 7 days." Do you think Lauren should take Charney up on his offer? (NYP, Fashionista)

That Gaga ad is horrid! It suppose to be about he perfume and its off the the side. WTF! Ralph should take AA up on that offer.
I love the ad for gaga, one. Two, those uniforms definitely need to be remade.
Although I am a huge Vogue magazine fanatic to me it seems like a conflict of interest that Tabitha Simmons in nominated. Shes very talented, no doubt, but she works for the magazine! Thats like Anna Wintour being nominated for the prize!
Love the Gaga ad.
RL should had done better.

Hey guys and girls,
We are all in the dreaded dead period and we all are itching for that first kickoff this fall. So I have been thinking about something to do a fanpost on to try and help somewhat ease(to the best of my ability) the passage through the dead period. So I decided on doing a schedule comparison between FSU and UF for the 2011 football season. I ranked each one of the games on each teams respective schedule on a scale of 1-10. 10 being the toughest and 1 being a team that if you add them to your schedule on NCAA football it will make your letter grade drop down. I figured this could lead to some good conversations. So here's a rundown of the rules I went by,
*Whether the game is a home or an away game with be taken into consideration.
*How many days in between games is also taken into consideration.
*Finally position of the teams bye week can negatively or positively affect a score.
That's pretty much it, I just took all those things into account and looked at the returning players and tried to assign a number that was fair. Now I'm certainly not a expert on these teams, I had to learn about most of the other teams rosters from various sources before I felt like I could assign a fair number. So I am definitely open to changing these scores, just let me know what yall think.
So lets get to it, I will start with FSU's schedule:
Game #1 ULM 9/3/11-
ULM is returning all 5 of their offensive linemen from last year, yet none of them recieved any all-conference votes. They run a 3-3-5 base defense. 18 starters returning(10-O,8-D)
Ranking: 2
Game #2 Charleston Southern 9/10/11-
Couldn't find to much info on their football team.
Ranking: 1
Game #3 Oklahoma 9/17/11-
Entering this game as the likely consensus #1 team in the nation. They have 2 legitimate Heisman candidates on offense, and their defense is very good too. Not getting much tougher than the Sooners.
Ranking: 10
Game #4 @Clemson 9/24/11-
Their defense will likely take a step back with the loss of two very big playmakers in Bowers and McDaniel. Although I don't expect it to as a huge step back because I think that Kevin Steele is a great coach. Brand new offense this early in the season is a wildcard for me. I do think that Andre Ellington could have a very good year though. Death Valley is a very tough place to play and factor in we have our toughest game of the year a week prior. Later in the year I could see this as a legitimate 8, but for now I'm going for a solid 7
Ranking: 7
Game #5 @Wake Forest 10/8/11-
Wake after our bye week really made me consider changing my self-imposed rules of only 1-AA teams receiving a score of 1. 16 returning starters(8-O,8-D)
Ranking: 2
Game #6 @Duke 10/15/11-
Rules are made to be broken, that's what they say. But I'm gonna stick with them. I do like David Cutcliffe as a coach though, at a program that cares about football. But I do admire him for sticking at Duke and doing what he wants to do, not just following the money. 13 returning starters(7-O,6-D)
Ranking: 2
Game #7 Maryland 10/22/11-
Maryland had a nice season last year at 9-4, but I definitely think that they will regress from that mark this season. I think that Danny O'brien is a good qb, but with the loss of Torrey Smith I think that his numbers will go down. Kenny Tate is a very good player on defense. 14 returning starters(7-O,7-D)
Ranking: 4
Game #8 NC State 10/29/11-
If Russel Wilson had come back this game would be much tougher. I think that Glennon can be a good qb, but I don't know how good he will be this season. Losing Nate Irving definitely hurts this defense and I think that they take a step back. They also lose a lot of depth along the dline.
Ranking: 4
Game #9 @Boston College 11/3/11-
This is FSU's toughest game since Clemson. It's a Thursday night game on 4 days rest, I don't care who you are playing 4 days rest is tough. Not to mention according to mapquest we are traveling 1321.43 miles to head up to Boston. BC is always a very disciplined team. Montel Harris a a good runner, and Luke Kuechly is an absolute beast, all the guy does is make plays.
Ranking: 7
Game #10 Miami 11/12/11-
A rivalry game that is always tough. Many people have been talking about how the future at Miami isn't that bright, but this team this year still has plenty of talent. I see their offense taking a step forward and their defense a step back. The offense only takes a step forward, however, if they lean on their running game. They have got a very good group of backs and a very good oline. The receivers have been very inconsistent, and let not get started on the qb situation.
Ranking: 6
Game #11 Virginia 11/19/11
I think that in time Mike London can do some good things at UVA, but this isn't the year. I think that they will still be pretty bad this year.
Ranking: 2
Game #12 Florida 11/26/11
How good their offense will be is really unknown, although they certainly have talent. How much of Weis' playbook will they be able to run in year 1? How will John Brantley progress in this new offense? Will the receivers be consistent this year? With Aubrey Hill as their coach, I don't really think so. Also losing 4 starters on the oline is tough. The strength of this team will definitely be its defense, especially the front 7. The dline is stacked, I mean stacked with ridiculous amounts of talent. But depth is an issue and it is possible these great players could wear down as the season progresses i.e. FSU's dline last season. However these guys are great players and Gator fans should expect big things out of them. I'm just hoping to see Moses Jenkins again :)
Ranking: 8
Now on the the Gators schedule:
Game #1 FAU 9/3/11-
Beware Schnellenberger's stache, that's all I have to say. 12 returning starters(7-O,5-D)
Ranking: 2
Game #2 UAB 9/10/11-
15 returning starters(7-O,8-D)
Ranking: 2
Game #3 Tennessee 9/17/11-
They lose their top 3 receiving targets, they were targeted on 59% of UT's pass plays. They lose 3 of their top 5 linebackers. Also their top returning linebacker got hurt this June so he will miss at least part of the season. However I did not factor in the rivalry aspect as well as I should have the first time around. Quite a few Gator guys said this should be about a 6. Also Tyler Bray will probably be one of the best qb in the SEC next season.
Ranking: 6
Game #4 @Kentucky 9/24/11-
They were very competitive against many big teams last year. But they are losing their best player in Randall Cobb, their starting qb, and many other offensive pieces. Defense is returning 9 starters, but they weren't anything special last year. While I don't think that they will be that good, I see them as a step up from Vandy, Duke, Wake, etc.
Ranking: 3
Game #5 Alabama 10/1/11-
Serious national title contender, with a ridiculous defense and a feature back. I do think that Oklahoma is the best team, but not by much.
Ranking: 10
Game #6 @LSU 10/8/11-
I do think that LSU is being overhyped to a degree. However they are a very very talented football team. But I think that Les Miles won't always be so lucky and that he will make one of those crazy calls and screw up big time. They are also losing a playmaker at every level of their defense: Drake Nevis, Kelvin Sheppard, and Patrick Peterson. They may be extremely talented but those players will be tough to replace. IMHO I do not think that they are quite on the level of Oklahoma and Alabama . Also Death Valley is an extremely tough place to play, so that gives them a 10. 15 returning starters(8-O,7-D)
Ranking: 10
Game #7 @Auburn 10/15/11-
To say that this team will look different than last year's is an understatement. They only have 1 starting linemen back. Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb are very good backs, but they need holes to run through. I might be understating them, but I think that they are going to be bad this season.(I screwed up this original ranking) 8 returning starters(4-O,4-D)
Ranking: 5
Game #8 Georgia 10/29/11-
Aaron Murray looks to be a very good qb. They recently lost their very good offensive tackle for the season, so they now have only 3 returning oline starters. The loss of A.J. Green is huge for this offense and for Aaron Murray. Teams will not have to gameplan around him anymore, so that is a plus for teams that are preparing to play UGA. Also Weis gets a bye week to come up with a good gameplan before facing the Dawgs. I originally had this as a 6, but Flagators informed me that UGA has their bye week the week before they face UF. So that took away that advantage that I thought UF had.
Ranking: 7
Game #9 Vanderbilt 11/5/11-
It's Vandy, no offense to them, but you can't expect much. 19 returning starters(11-O,8-D) will definitely help though.
Ranking: 2
Game #10 @USCe 11/12/11-
They have two of the best playmakers in the SEC in Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffery. Since Spurrier has been there their defense has always been stingy. However they are losing 5 defensive starters that were talented, and USCe certainly doesn't reload defensive talent like Bama does. Losing 4 of the front 7 starters. I also think that the whole Stephen Garcia thing could become a big distraction. Originally I had this as a 7 but it is an away game, and you won't find many more talented players than Lattimore and Jeffery. 12 returning starters(6-O,6-D)
Ranking: 8
Game #11 Furman 11/19/11
Ranking: 1
Game #12 FSU 11/26/11
FSU is being touted as a top 10 team going into next season. But we are certainly not without questions. How will EJ fit into being the full time starter? How will the defense progress in its second year under Stoops? Will the receivers be more consistent? Will we have competent safety play? Those are all fair questions. I think that the defense will improve a great deal in their second year of the zone scheme. I think that moving LaMarcus Joyner to safety will greatly help the overall safety play. I think that EJ will fit in fine, although I expect there to be some growing pains. And finally I think that the receivers will be more consistent because they competiton level at that position is growing so they will have to be at the top of their respective games to play. I also think that our defensive front will be much better this year because we have much better depth this season. So our whole dline won't be burnt out by the end of the season.
Ranking: 8
Now I went into this assuming that Florida would have a tougher schedule, and I tried to rank teams to the best of my ability and knowledge. I also tried to be the least biased I possibly could be. I know that this is certainly not perfect in any way, and I'm very welcome feedback and will gladly change a ranking if a case is presented that I agree with.
So drumroll please, the final tally comes to:
UF's and FSU's schedules seem somewhat similar to me, but I think that UF's is definitely tougher. Thanks very much for reading guys and I welcome your feedback.
*It definitely took me a few tries, and I admit the the original one was off quite a bit(I definitely didn't have enough knowledge of all the SEC teams). But I think that this one is looking a lot better. Thanks for the patience and all the comments. I'm sure it can still be improved though, so I'm still open to any suggestions. Thanks for reading!


text: So Mr. Miller left us today and I can't say i'm too happy with it but im not heart broken. Miller was a beast at getting open and snagging the ball, but he really wasn't explosive...(his super long TD against the Eagles was made possible by Murphs nasty blocks). Now like I said I would've loved for us to sign him, but it's not the end of the world. NOW on the other hand, if Brandon Myers is the answer, then ummm, yeah no production from our TE position this year. I know some guys are high on Myers but i'm really not, he has played decent but he's had some drops in games. I say Myers is average and I'd rather see us start Ausberry over Myers. That's if we don't go out and try to sign a FA like a Bo Scaife or a Kevn Boss...we'll see what happens!

Old Dominion junior Geoffrey Harris of Reading, England was named the CAA Golfer of the Year in voting by the league's head coaches.
In the fall, Harris ranked as high as second nationally with a 70.0 stroke average when he posted four second place finishes in four events. He lost in a playoff at the Mid Pines Intercollegiate to open the season and continued his strong play with runner-up efforts at the Carolina First, River Landing and ODU/ Seascape tournaments. For the year, Harris notched nine Top 10 finishes in 11 events and posted 19 rounds at or under par. He was recently selected as a member of the 2002 Palmer Cup team and will represent Great Britain in a match pitting the top eight collegiate golfers from the United States against their counterparts from Great Britain and Ireland.
Joining Harris on the All-CAA squad is senior Michael Hospodar of Ontario, Canada. Hospodar earned a spot on the second team, marking the fourth year in a row that he has been named to the all-conference squad.
UNC-Wilmington's Bill Lewis was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and William & Mary's Scott King was voted Coach of the Year.

Thousands of Massachusetts Institute of Technology students, faculty and staff as well as law enforcement officials from across the nation have gathered for a solemn tribute to fallen campus police officer Sean Collier. The line of mourners stretched for about a half mile an hour before the ceremony was scheduled to start. They had to make their way through tight security, including metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs. Authorities say Collier was killed by the Boston Marathon bombing suspects Thursday. He had worked for the department a little more than a year. Vice President Joe Biden, MIT President L. Rafael Reif, police chief John DiFava and members of Collier's family are scheduled to speak. One man who works a few blocks away from the site of the Boston Marathon bombings says it will take a while before there's a "sense of normalcy." But the area took a step in that direction today, as the street where the blasts occurred was reopened. Two construction workers were guarding fresh concrete that was still drying on the sidewalk where one of the bombs exploded. Delivery trucks made their way down the street under a heavy police presence. Workers at some businesses and hotels in the area were allowed to return to their jobs on Tuesday to prepare for reopening. Some stores directly affected by the blasts are still boarded up.
The suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings killed in a shootout with police received welfare benefits from the state up until last year, when he became ineligible based on family income. A spokesman for the state Office of Health and Human Services on Wednesday confirmed a Boston Herald report that 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and their toddler daughter had received benefits. A lawyer for his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva, has said that she worked 70 to 80 hours per week as a home health aide while her husband cared for their daughter. The state says both Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev -- his brother and the other bombing suspect -- received welfare benefits as children through their parents while the family lived in Massachusetts.
Neither was receiving benefits at the time of the bombing. (AP)

Driving into work this morning I was listening to Murph and Mac on KNBR, live from Scottsdale, and they had on a bunch of players -- including Bengie Molina, who talked about how he couldn't sleep last night because he was so excited for today's game. He also said (and I'm paraphrasing here)"We can't worry about tomorrow's game, we have to win today."
When Bengie Molina describes the first Spring Training game as a must-win, it's hard not to get excited. I'm thrilled that baseball is back, and wish I was in Mesa today for the first game.
That's all. Your odes to spring and baseball are welcome.

Rather than split up the conference games into the first nine games and last nine games, I included the WVU game since it was wedged in the middle of conference play.
Terone's 3 point shooting
First eight conference games + WVU game 8-26 (30%) from 3
Last ten conference games14-35 (40%) from 3.
Terone's improved outside shot has really started opening things up in the lane for Ronnie and Ray Davis and also opened up better looks outside for Byrd. Having more than 1 outside threat is huge for us going forward in my opinion. Purdue's offense has really taken off the past 3 games: Scoring 69 vs Wisconsin(which is like 80 vs most other teams), 75 vs Michigan, and 89 vs Minnesota. In this 3 game stretch, Terone has shot 42% from 3. He has improved 10% from the first half of the conference season to the last half of the conference season. This could be a great sign for him going into both the BTT and next year if he can continue his improved shooting.

Theresa May 'shock' at Type 1 diabetes diagnosis
Theresa May has spoken of her shock after being diagnosed with a chronic illness, but insisted it will not affect her demanding political career.
The Home Secretary was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two months ago and must now inject herself with insulin at least twice a day for the rest of her life, the Mail on Sunday revealed. She told the newspaper:
The diabetes doesn't affect how I do the job or what I do. It's just part of life... so it's a case of head down and getting on with it. It was a real shock and, yes, it took me a while to come to terms with it.
It started last November. I'd had a bad cold and cough for quite a few weeks. I went to my GP and she did a blood test which showed I'd got a very high sugar level - that's what revealed the diabetes.
There was weight loss but then I was already making an effort to be careful about diet and to get my gym sessions in.
Tiredness - speak to any politician and they will tell you the hours they work. Tiredness can be part of the job. It is full on.

Today's weather forecast: Land of Sunshine
Long before they toured with Mumford & Sons and triumphed at South by Southwest, Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim were three Valley Village sisters playing with Mom and Dad in a band called Rockinhaim. "It was something we did to bring our family together," says Este.
The trio have shortened their moniker—just Haim, please—and solidified their sound: a percussive, harmony-laden blend of gritty rock and sultry R&B set off by Alana's keyboard, guitar, and maracas; Este's bass; and Danielle's lead guitar.
After playing shows with everyone from Florence + the Machine to the Henry Clay People and covering Miley Cyrus'"Wrecking Ball," they've finally channeled their energy into a polished debut album produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Usher). Since it was finished back in June, Days Are Gone has become one of the most anticipated releases of 2013, and it comes out today. In these 11 track, sisterhood emerges as not just powerful but harmonious.

Three MC&S standouts going Division 1
- Written by Donald Hunt
- Published in Basketball
It's not every day a school holds a press conference to announce that three of its players are signing letters of intent to play Division I basketball. Math, Civics & Sciences is one of those special schools with three great players in Jeremiah Worthem, Britton Lee and Quadir Welton. All three will play major college basketball.
Worthem and Lee will head to Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh. Welton will attend St. Peter's University in Jersey City, N.J. This was a watershed moment for the school. Family members, coaches and staff from MC&S attended a special ceremony to honor these players.
"This is a great accomplishment for the players," said Danny Jackson, MC&S head coach. "It means a lot to them and their families. This is great for our school and basketball program. It's an inspiration to a lot of players. It's just a great feeling."
Worthem is one of most talented big men in the city. The 6-foot-6 senior forward can take the ball to the basket. He's a great inside player. He can defend and rebound extremely well.
Lee, a 5-foot-10 senior guard, recently transferred to MC&S from Roman Catholic. He's a terrific ballhandler. He can penetrate and hit the open man. He should be a big addition to the Mighty Elephants basketball team.
Welton is a solid all-around player. The 6-foot-7 senior forward can run the floor, play good defense and rebound. He has a nice shot from the baseline.
Lee is looking forward to playing with Worthem at Robert Morris. Both will get a chance to play for the Colonials, who are members of the Northeast Conference.
"It's a great feeling," Lee said. "I was happy when I heard he committed. I was really excited. There are a few people I know up there with him. It makes it seem like home. This is my first signing. It's a great feeling, too."
Robert Morris has a distinct Philly flavor. The Colonials have a number of local players like Lijah Thompson (Communications Tech), Russell Johnson (Chester), Velton Jones (North Catholic) and David Appolon (Imhotep Charter). Andrew Toole, Robert Morris head coach, is a former basketball star at Penn.
Worthem is excited about playing his college basketball with Lee. He knows what kinds of skills he can bring to the team.
"Playing with Britton will be good," he said. "He's an outstanding worker. He works hard and is a good leader. He does a lot of good things on the court. I look forward to continuing to play this year and from now on with him."
Welton will travel to New Jersey to play for the Peacocks. St. Peter's plays in the Metro Atlantic Conference.
"St. Peter's is a good fit," he said. "They fit my style of play. They have some good incoming freshmen. I think we can bring another championship to St. Peter's. They have a good team right now. They play in the MAC. I'll get a chance to play against some good potential players and players I've seen in high school."

This was my last: a personal history of recent computing
I just finished up graduate school. It feels really good. I was thinking back about the beginning of my time as a grad student. Despite being less than six years ago, the computer I had, the phone I owned, and the software I used have changed so much. This is a personal exercise and hopefully an interesting peek into the recent past of computing.
via cnet.com
As a newly minted, but very poor graduate student, my laptop was the first laptop I ever owned from four years prior. The Dell 5150 was a chunky laptop with perennial power issues that eventually led to a class action lawsuit. It ran Windows XP, which was already 2 years old by the time I got my laptop in 2003. By the time I was in grad school in 2007, Vista was out. I didn't upgrade. In fact, when I ordered a desktop computer for my work, I chose to "downgrade" to XP rather than try out the vilified and seemingly risky Vista.
via images.highspeedbackbone.net
Ol' lappy died in 2008 — one year into grad school. I was still poor, but needed a new computer, preferably a laptop so I could give presentations at school and for conferences. But I was still poor and a new, powerful laptop was (and still is) an expensive purchase. One day I was looking through the comments of an Engadget article and one person suggested that it would actually be cheaper to get a desktop and a low-powered netbook rather than a laptop that could substitute a desktop. So I got a refurbished HP Pavilion m9260f, which also served as my HTPC (I've had some strange setups with this computers that required a 6 foot DVI cable). I wasn't able to downgrade to XP for this machine and as it turned out, Vista wasn't terrible, especially the SP1 version I used. When Windows 7 was released, I upgraded and have been pretty happy, but haven't felt the need to upgrade to Windows 8. However, this computer is feeling a bit slow these days. And it won't wake from sleep or hibernation. And the power button doesn't work, so I have to short two contacts on the motherboard to turn it on. Man I need a new computer.
via slashgear.com
I delayed getting the netbook half of the pair for several more months, but ended up with an Asus Eee PC 1005HA. It arrived with XP and I put Windows 7 on it as soon as I could (though the lack of a CD drive made that difficult!). I got this machine for presentations and on the go work, but now I use it as little as possible. It's just too hard to get work done efficiently with a tiny, slow computer.
This is my next?
I haven't decided on my next laptop yet. I'm sort of waiting for a compelling, touchscreen Windows 8 convertible.
My cell phone was a nice, little blue Sanyo flip phone. At some point, I started using it to read the news over its terrible internet connection. It was really just a single column of text with a few hyperlinks. It helped to kill some time commuting on the bus.
via gdgt.com
I was given a secondhand first generation iPod Nano. It served me well for listening to podcasts and music until I got a smartphone. Then a couple of years ago, it magically turned into a fifth generation iPod nano (that I really haven't touched).
via pcmag.com
At some point, I snagged a Palm z22 on the cheap to give me access to some apps without a data plan. I mostly played solitaire on it though. It didn't take too long to die, but before it did, I became a fan of Palm, which led me to...
via engadget.com
Palm Pre. Launch day. iPhone killer. Or not. I still liked it a lot. Sure it was kind of slow (I eventually overclocked it) and had a janky mini-usb port cover (it eventually broke off), but webOS could multitask like no other (as long as you didn't get a "too many cards" error).. After my contract was up, my Pre was feeling really old, and the whole Palm/HP meltdown had just happened, which persuaded me to move onto another platform.
The Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch. Despite the long name and mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, this phone has served me well. Some folks don't like the trend to ever-larger screens, but the 4.5" screen here is pretty great for me. But it too is in the waning months of my 2-year contract, so I'm on the lookout for a replacement.
This is my next?
The Google-fied Samsung Galaxy S4 is pretty expensive, but it's mighty tempting with the beefy hardware,no skinning, plus updates straight from the source.
Web and Apps
When I started grad school, I finally joined Facebook.to keep up with my friends and family that I had just moved away from (Facebook had just opened up to the public the year prior, for reference). In college, I thought it was a bit of a fad (boy was I wrong) and almost a year and a half ago, I decided to give it up. I wish Mark and co. all the best, though.
I started Grad School using Office 2007 and ended grad School using Office 2007 (and some 2010 on work computers). I'm totally behind the times. But really, that's a indication that I wouldn't really care for a subscription model for Office. I don't think I was missing anything particularly important from the 2013 version.
via engadget.com
Circa 2007, I was an avid fan of Engadget, especially the trio of Josh, Nilay, and Paul. I was reading the site when Josh became the new editor in-chief and when he left. Of course I was stoked to follow their new venture, This is my next (named after their propensity to declare an unreleased gadget as their next device), which eventually became The Verge.
It's funny just to look back at just how rapidly things have changed.

text: I just got my ticket to the Syracuse at South Florida game scheduled for Oct. 27 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. I moved to Florida about two years ago and this will be my first chance to see the Orange since I graduated in 2010. I'm pumped, but unfortunately am going alone because I haven't been able to use Sean's proven techniques to convert anyone that I know down here into a Syracuse fan. I was just wondering if any of you TNIAAM faithful had plans to attend the game and possibly begin to organize a pregame tailgate or something.

Lost, found ... and billed for it: Effort renewed to pass the cost of rescues on to the rescued
The minimum rescue fee is one of three revenue raisers in House Bill 256 that sponsors believe will generate about $57,000 a year for a program that costs about $200,000. The fund routinely runs a deficit of about $100,000.
Hunters, fishermen, snowmobilers, boaters and all-terrain vehicle users currently pay the entire cost of rescues, while hikers account for about 60 percent of search and rescue operations.
Under the bill, those contributing to the rescue fund would not be charged for rescues, nor would someone who purchases an $18 hike safe card that the department would issue.
All others needing rescue would be charged on a sliding scale ranging from $350 to $1,000 based on the actual cost. The third source of funding would be a $10 surcharge on all fines for violating fish and game laws.
While lost and injured hikers often receive the most attention, Fish and Game search and rescues operations are for lost children, Alzheimer patients who wander away, drowning victims and fugitives hiding in the woods, said Fish and Game Executive Director Glenn Normandeau.
The prime sponsor of the bill, House Minority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, told the House Fish and Game Committee, said it is not fair for sportsmen to be paying for the fund when they are not the prime users.
"This is a problem and we need to fix the problem." Chandler told the committee, but he ruled out using state general fund money, saying that is not an option.
Others agree the current system is not fair and something needs to be done to properly fund search and rescue operations, but believe the state's general fund should be used to pay for what they call an essential state service.
Former House Fish and Game Committee Chairman Dennis Abbott of Newmarket said what was being proposed would not solve the problem.
"This bill is like the little Dutch Boy who puts his finger in the dike," Abbott said. "This will not even come close to getting out of the deficit."
He said it was time for lawmakers to do something significant and fund search and rescue operations out of the state's general fund.
"It's time to fish or cut bait," Abbott said.
Susan Arnold, vice president for conservation of the Appalachian Mountain Club, said funding for the search and rescue program has been a problem for 25 years and she agrees the current funding mechanism is not fair.
"Search and rescue is about public safety, and is a public service critical to New Hampshire's $4.2 billion active outdoor recreation economy," Arnold said. "The fairest way to fund search and rescue is to allocate a miniscule portion - .002 percent - of revenues generated by the rooms and meals tax - a tax paid by the full range of potential users of search and rescue services, including hikers."
Arnold was concerned charging a fee for all rescues would make people reluctant to call for help, putting themselves and rescuers at more risk once the call is made later.
Volunteer groups who help with rescues in the mountains agree with Arnold and several volunteers said many may stop helping if the state charges for rescues.
John Scarniza, president of the Randolph Mountain Club that helps with rescues, and a former New Hampshire State Police troop commander, doubted the bill would raise $25,000. He said charging for rescue may cause many volunteers to decide not to help anymore letting the state run the entire operation.
"That's $25,000 in revenue for a tremendous loss of good will among volunteers and tourists," he said.
Scarniza said the hiking community makes a significant contribution to search and rescue efforts. Volunteers are often the first ones on the scene when a hiker calls for help, he noted, and said without their help the Fish and Game Department would have to pick more of the cost.
Fish and Game officials have seen the cost of rescue increase recently now that the National Guard charges $6,500 an hour for a Blackhawk helicopter. In the past, the use of the helicopters was viewed as training for guardsmen.
The average cost of a rescue is about $2,000 but can be as high as $50,000. Fish and Game can bill for the full cost of a rescue if a person is found negligent, but Normandeau said his department collects very little of the money.
"Collecting money is a nightmare for us," he said. "The person who simply writes the check is the exception not the rule."
The committee did not make an immediate decision on the bill.

2b. Using a Sharpie, trace the projected painting image onto the posterboard.
Your tracing marks will be used as a guide for cutting out shapes, and later for
yarn placement in details such as the violin and cello on my Vardi piece.
2c. Because I used 3 layers, I traced only the background on the first posterboard piece, then the halo backgrounds on the second piece, and finally, the
musicians themselves on the third. Use your own stylistic judgment in places
that seem ambiguous. For example, on the background layer, I connected lines
that were covered up by the musicians, and I left out some of the lines that
were not necessary on the cello. After all, this is your rendition.
Using scissors, cut along your trace
lines to create patterns for your fabric.
Because you'll be using each pattern
piece for a different fabric, take care
not to create pieces too small for the
fabric to wrap around. For smaller
details, such as those on the musicians' eyes, leave them intact for yarn
detailing later.
For each cutout pattern, choose your
desired color/texture of fabric, place
it upside-down on your work surface,
then place the pattern face down on
the fabric, using double-stick tape to
keep it in place. Trace a border on the
fabric approximately ½" inch beyond
the pattern on all sides and cut out
the fabric piece.
NOTE: To prevent
confusion, you may
want to make a note
of which color fabric
you'll use on the back
of each piece.
5a. Place the fabric-covered pattern pieces on the foamboard canvas to assemble your painting. Because the
fabrics have different thicknesses, there may be small gaps or slight overlapping when you put the pieces back
together. Don't worry! The small flaws will be covered when you border the pieces with yarn, etc. Just be sure
that the outside edges of the painting pieces are in line with the foamboard as much as possible.

Shops and schools deserted in favour of pancake race (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)
Send photos, video and news by texting GUARDIAN SERIES to 80360 (cost 10p), or upload here
Athletes of all ages abandoned their duties in favour of pancake race
Updated 1:32pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News By Zoie O'Brien, Reporter - Waltham Forest
Tills were unmanned and classrooms were emptied this morning, as competitors prepared themselves for the annual Waltham Abbey pancake race. Mums, dads and twenty mini chefs limbered up before taking to the track, along Sun Street, frying pans in hand. The children battled it out first, some ran, some walked and others wandered along eating their pancakes. 4 year-old Jasmine Argent, from Leverton Primary School, came out victorious after three heats and a final, declaring that she had been in it to win it. She said: "I did enjoy it, I like to win every day." First time racer, 32 year-old Louise Whitton from Brentwood, won the adult race, and left with the 2013 Pancake Race champion's plate. The last race of the day saw businesses from in and around the town, abandoning their posts, to compete against their fellow traders. A customer in tattoo parlour, Ouch, was left mid-ink when his tattooist decided that he could not pass up the opportunity to take part. Representatives from Tesco, Sun Street Cafe, Stanley Bridge Cycles and even Slimming World, amongst others, took place in the final race. Easily the most competitive event of the day, the final show down was won by 32 year-old Craig Sheffield, owner of CSS motors. The event, which is organised by Waltham Abbey Town Partnership, every year, saw more people than ever taking part. Organiser Kate Towerzey, said that the race, which gives people in the town an opportunity to meet each other, was a success, despite the cold weather. She said: "We have definitely had more businesses taking part this year, from outside of the town centre too." "It brings people together and it is such good fun."

Cops short-changing residents
Regarding the recent series of articles about police officers not working their full hours: They should be fired.
Cops leaving early, coming in late and taking hours-long lunches are committing theft and should be fired. Try doing this in the private sector and see how long you still have a job.

Report: Phoenix Coyotes suspend Gilbert Brule after he refuses AHL assignment
By Arizona Sports
Originally published: Dec 30, 2013 - 5:15 pm
Originally published: Dec 30, 2013 - 5:15 pm
The Phoenix Coyotes sent center Gilbert Brule, along with right wing Jordan Szwarz, to their American Hockey League affiliate Sunday, but NBC Sports reports Brule refused the assignment and has been suspended.
Brule, 26, only saw three games with the Coyotes after being signed on Nov. 30. The former first round draft pick did well with the Portland Pirates earlier this season -- 12 points in 11 games -- but was not eager to return to the juniors.
The center spent three years each with the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Edmonton Oilers before coming to Phoenix in the 2011-12 season, in which he saw action in 33 games and posted 14 points. Since that time, he's had trouble keeping his NHL career afloat.
The Coyotes haven't given any word on the length of his suspension.

A special honour for Excelsior Cafe owner
10:30am Thursday 17th May 2012 in Oxford By Tom Jennings
Greasy spoon cafes do not often have the reputation for being a safe haven for those suffering with mental health problems.
But the owner of a small cafe in Cowley Road has received a certificate of honour from Oxford City Council for exactly that.
Andreas Koumi, 79, has been running the Excelsior Cafe for almost 50 years and was recognised for his contribution to Oxford alongside charity workers and volunteers on Monday night.
His customers said he deserved the award and described him as a kind-hearted man who treated everyone with the utmost respect.
Mr Koumi emigrated from Cyprus to London in 1954 to escape poverty and moved to Oxford two years later to work and complete a night course in book keeping.
He bought Excelsior with his brother and cousin in 1961.
He said: "I wanted people to consider the cafe as their home, where they could come and rest and not have anyone saying you have been here too long. I want people to come in every day and I want to know about their lives. Anyone would."
But he added: "I am ready to give up Excelsior – I feel it in the mornings – but I will miss it. It has been my whole life."
Mr Koumi, who has two children and four grandchildren, said he had been very pleased to have won the award and said he had not expected it.
Pamela Webber, 66, who nominated Mr Koumi for the award, said: "I used to look after a mental health patient and Excelsior was the only place he felt comfortable.
"Some people do not always welcome people who suffer from mental health issues but Andreas does, which helps with the recovery. "
Customer Debbie Preece, 44, of Cowley Road, said: "Andreas is the kind of person that if you are upset he will talk to you and calm you down. He has created a community here and if it ever closes there will be nowhere else to go where people treat you with the respect Andreas does."
Goldston Joseph, 48, of Cowley Road, said: "We are always welcomed in here and it is more homely than other cafes, where they are more about business.
"Andreas deserves the award because he is a kind-hearted man. If you are stuck he will help you."
Lord Mayor of Oxford Elise Benjamin, who was one of the award's judges, said: "What is unusual and special about Excelsior is that it is not just a local cafe, it is a haven for people who are in need.
"We know that there are a lot of people with mental health problems that spend a lot of time in Excelsior and care workers meet with their clients in there.
"Andreas lets them be there and helps them feel safe and secure. I do not know of any other places in Oxford like that."
Gemma Humphrey, external relations manager at mental health charity Restore, said: "Excelsior serves our users, volunteers and staff.
"We find the atmosphere welcoming and inclusive – and we like the strong coffee."

Good for him, there used to be loads of welcoming places like The Excelsior, but sadly most are now all about footfall and over-priced beverages.

As I said on twitter, I thought last night's episode had everything. And it was possibly the greatest episode I've seen of the program to date. I'm really proud of my friends at TAPS for all of their work on Ghost Hunters. The big reveal that was teased starting last week did not disappoint.
Grant Wilson announced that he's leaving Ghost Hunters.
From the SyFy Press Release:
Of the departure, Wilson said, "It is with mixed emotion that I am announcing my departure from the cast of Ghost Hunters. While paranormal investigating has always been and will remain a passion for me, after enjoying nearly eight successful seasons on television, I have made the decision to leave the series in order to focus on other aspects of my personal life.
I will deeply miss working with Jason and the rest of the dedicated investigators and crew that have become like family, and I wish them all the best as they continue to follow their passion and realize the vision of TAPS.
I will also miss interacting with our wonderful fans worldwide. You are all at the heart of what we do on Ghost Hunters, and I'm grateful to have gotten to know many of you over the years.
Thank you to Syfy and Pilgrim Studios for giving me the opportunity to do what I love for nearly eight years, and for supporting this difficult decision."
Jason Hawes also released a statement:
"When Grant and I founded TAPS nearly 20 years ago, we never imagined that we would be able to make such an impact just by doing what we enjoy every day. I will miss working with Grant on a daily basis, and am indebted to the level of dedication and expertise he has brought to our field.
I can't imagine having a better partner through it all – both on the show and off. Grant and I, along with our spouses and children, are all like one big family. While I fully support his decision to move on from the series, this longtime friendship – as well as our business partnership – will continue off-camera for years to come."
The hunt isn't over though. Grant still has more investigations that will air in the next half-season. One of them I got to check-out while the filming took place and I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Jason has put up a Q & A section on his site so please check it out to get info on Grant's departure straight from TAPS founder.
As Jason said "It is what it is." It's going to be sad not to see Grant on the show every Wednesday but he wants the team to carry on ghost hunting and TAPS to continue to grow. He has more personal goals such as art and music to achieve and now he'll have the time to do that. He's still a part of TAPS. We'll miss him on the show but we're happier knowing he's doing awesome.
Here's another article on Grant leaving:
How amazing were the other things in the episode though?
Jason and Steve having to save Amy and Adam from the creepy, malfunctioning elevator. Amy said this was the 3rd time she's been trapped in an elevator! I'm taking the stairs with her next time and every time. Adam has been stuck in an elevator once before and the first time he had to climb up and release at latch so the elevator full of 25 people could crawl out. He's a hero!
The shots of Jay trying to get the elevator doors open were awesome. Looked like an action movie.
What was your favorite moment?

On Monday, flight attendants at O'Hare and across the country asked passengers to help keep knives off planes.
The TSA recently announced that small knives, such as pocket knives, would be allowed on aircraft.
Flight attendants picketed at O'Hare and handed out leaflets arguing that knives put passengers and crew members at risk.
The policy is supposed to go into effect on April 25.

AT&T has selected Carbon Hill for a national pilot program that one day will provide customer access to the latest technology.
The pilot program will serve as the model for providing customers with access to what the company is calling an ultra-fast internet based network.
Carbon Hill is only one of two cities in the U.S. AT&T is using to test out an "Internet-based network that will essentially do away with old-fashioned telephone service," the company said in a release.
The company will use information gathered from this trial to develop new products and processes that can be used across the country.
"We believe all consumers and businesses deserve the opportunity to be connected by the best network technology available. This trial is going to help the entire country learn how to make that happen while assuring that consumers stay safe and connected. We look forward to strengthening America's communications future with our customers in Carbon Hill, and to preserving the values of universal service, competition, public safety, reliability and consumer protection," Fred McCallum, president of AT&T Alabama, said in a statement.
The Federal Communications Commission will oversee the program.
They are realistic about the fact that with a new program or technology there may be problems. To learn more, Carbon Hill residents and businesses can attend a series of meetings starting this week. You can also visit http://ip4carbonhill.att.com.
The dates for the informational meetings are as follows:
Thursday, March 6, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Carbon Hill Community Center
Corner of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 2nd Street, Carbon Hill, AL
Saturday, March 8, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Clip The Apex
FrenemiesSo Mercedes are in a situation in which their drivers are trying to beat the other one into the ground; and they refuse to hand out any team orders. This stance continues into the rest of the season, and once again raises the question of whether having two number one drivers is a good idea for teams such as Mercedes.
On the one hand, it looks the obvious solution. The periods of dominance enjoyed by Red Bull and Ferrari were characterised by one of their drivers being much the stronger, either contractually guaranteed as a number 1 or just more proficient at using the contemporary regulations. Both of these teams guaranteed both titles with ease for a number of consecutive years, even when their advantage was narrowed. Ferrari at their most dominant even secured second in the championship. The perfect situation?
But does a tree in a forest make a noise if no-one is hearing it? Put yourself in the position of Petronas, or Monster, or Blackberry; paying to be on the side of a Formula One car. They will want the attention of the globe to be on their logos during F1 races, watched by as many people as possible. Mercedes' policy seems to give them a better chance of achieving this than does the Red Bull policy.
Because the squabble between Hamilton and Rosberg means that Mercedes in 2014 are on the screen quite often, either battling at the front or fighting through the field. And the whole fight is generating headlines (with more pictures of the two drivers in sponsored race suits) and presumably interest. Red Bull have had races where their self-sponsor was barely seen because the FOM understandably never showed Vettel; admittedly, the choice of a suitably dead beat team-mate planted him into midfield battles the car shouldn't have been in.
So, are Mercedes playing a cleverer game than we assumed regarding sponsorship. They're getting the exposure of title fighters rather than title strollers. They're on the TV more. What's the point of being plastered on the side of a car so successful no-one sees it?
Evolution of the Formula 1 CarMany threads on here start with a question and this one is no different. marksawatsky asked which single year had the best looking F1 cars.
Well a single year would be hard to define but lets take a look back at the different generations of F1 cars and how they evolved from the early pre-championship days right through to the ground hugging high downforce monsters we have to day and then it will be interesting to see which era of F1 we all love or hate.
Pre-war & 1950's
F1 wasn't created on that first summers afternoon at Silverstone in 1950. Not long after the creation of the first horseless carriage then the competition began to see who could make the fastest. The early race cars didn't look much different until the standard road cars until the 30's. In 1937 Alfa Romeo released the Alfetta 158
Massive success on the track meant the design was copied and used by the car manufacturers once the economy recovered in the post war period and the F1 championship was born.
The cars themselves used the same basic layout. A front mounted engine and skinny wheels was pretty much all there was on the car, driver safety was never a consideration. Windscreens were optional as were seat belts and helmets. This style of car was also one of the longest periods of stability, it wasn't until Stirling Moss won in Argentina in 1958 that a new design of F1 car was born.
2014 Italian Grand Prix Practice, Qualifying & Race DiscussionCiao e benvenuto l'introduzione per il Gran Premio italiano di Monza 2014.
Silverstone, Interlagos, Monza. These illustrious names are the circuits where the sounds of the engines are drowned out by the noise of the fans. Few motorsport arenas can boast of an atmosphere to rival the ancient coliseum of Rome and Monza has always been a pilgrimage for the legion of rosso clad Tifosi.
Monza is synonymous with Ferrari yet this year the prancing horse seems to be more of a lumbering donkey. What effect will this have on the Tifosi and their embrace of the F1 circus this September?
The answer is probably no effect at all.
The reason for this is the love for motorsport shown by the Italian fans ever since the tracks creation in 1922. The sea of red running down to the Parabolica and back along the main straight indicate the devotion of Ferrari fans of all nationalities who are united under a single banner.
Few circuits have been captured on film as much as Monza, many of the sports iconic images and videos were taken at this magnificent race course and you can chart the history of the sport along the twists and turns of the tarmac. It's also a record breaker, in 1971 the top five drivers finished within 0.61 seconds. A feat only made possible by the lack of chicanes during that era. Phenomenal speeds for the period were also set in those most dangerous of years.
Monza has always produced a mixture of triumph and tragedy, Fangio, Stewart, Lauda, Andretti & Scheckter all secured drivers championships at this circuit while Ascari, von Trip, Rindt & Peterson all lost their lives here.
Only 3 drivers have won at Monza and won the championship in the last 20 years, Senna, Schumacher & Vettel. With Rosberg on top in the championship, will winning this race mean he adds his name to the list or will the Monza jinx strike again.
As for this years race, it would have been hard to see past a Mercedes powered victory due to the long straights but after Ricciardo finished on top in Spa does engine power still have the advantage over aerodynamics?
Whatever happens in the championship we are in for an exciting weekend of racing!

pitching nolasco & robertson for the doubleheader on saturday means that the fish are in need of a starter for wednesday night's game aginst the paders. unless of course the freddy decides to start nolasco or robertson on 3 days rest; which seems unlikely. so this leaves the question of who fredi &/or the FO feel is the most deserving candidate. though it may be only 1 spot start i feel if the rotation (& especially the bullpen) continue to be as hit/miss then the fish will be forced to eventually call-up someone to rotate out the bullpen or spot start for struglling/injured SPs. so, who do the fish go with?
the doubleheader gives fredi an open spot in the rotation early in the year
1. doubtful robertson or nolasco go on 3 days rest
2. henlsey or hopper could get a spot start here esp. with sanches coming back, but not sure anyone is confident about stretching out the bullpen, or
3. the most obvious: get a call-up to spot start:
- vandenhurk: easily the most deserving in my opinion. in '09: he had 5 QS out of 11 total; also 49 Ks & a 4.30 era in 58 total IPs. this is enough evidence to give him a spot as a starter IMO, let alone long reliever. had a decent spring with only 1 bad IP.
-miller: been very inconsistent, but could go out & throw 7 scoreless at any time. you never know with him. who knows what the fish will do with him. not sure how hes doing in the minors this year
-west/sinkbeil : not sure whos most MLB ready after miller/vandenhurk/west... never know with marlins FO anyway since they may be holding back some guys to not waste service time.
who do you all think should get the start?? & if we see some success from a young guy do you think that warrants another start, or even a spot in our struggling bullpen??

yeah i am a movie quote nerd. I speak in it when something reminds me of it. And it doesn't even have to be a good movie either for me to repeat the line. it just pops into my head and i sometimes say it before i can stop it from coming out. it's all good when you meet a fellow movie quote nerd. they usally reply back with either the next line or with an equally good quote from same movie. but when the slip out for those, let's call them "normal" people, they just look at you like a deer in headlights. You can hear crickets chirping. or even better the "I think you are a little crazy and i don't speak your language" look. it's all cool. I realize i live in my own little city, Dorkapolis, and i kind of like it here.
"Two Dollars. I want my two dollars"
"Can i call you Eddie?"
"I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squishy Come on, squishy Come on, little squishy"
"They think he's a righteous dude"
"Yo-Yo the bi-atch was like what? And I was like layta on"
"Well stop calling me!"
"five... four... 'tree'... 'tree' and a half... two... one and 'tree' quarters..."
"I have great insight. I'd use it on myself only I don't have any problems."
"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"
"Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli."
"It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die."
edit...thought of some more last night as i was trying to sleep, silently cracking myself up in bed.
"Wax on, Wax off"
"Show me the Money"
"That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet."
"I'll be back"
I could go on & on. what are your favorite movie quotes?

Baron Davis is not that big of an enigma as people think. Baron is a front runner who likes money. Put Baron on a playoff caliber team and in a contract year and he will be an absolute beast. Put him on a bad team with a fat contract and he will be an unmotivated, lazy, locker room cancer who is also a coach killer.
Let me make this perfectly clear, said in my best Nixon voice, in terms of actual talent and ability there are still not 5 point guards better than Baron Davis in this league and on any given day there aren't any point guards better. That is right all of you CP3 fans, everything Paul can do Baron can do when he wants to and sometimes he does it better.
No one has ever questioned Baron Davis' talent, and neither will I. Frankly, I believe the Knicks just got a steal that could very well have them sipping championship champagne in June. There are those experts who after we sacrificed Billups to get Chandler that said, great move, but because they had to give up Chauncey they will not be able to contend this season. Well Baron Davis is so much better in terms of talent and ability than Billups that he makes Billups look like Chris Duhon. I say that with this caveat, when Davis wants to be. That is actually the bigger question than his back, actually his back issue is not that serious. He will more than likely be able to work out in 3-4 weeks and be ready to actually play in a game in about 6 weeks.
But will Davis be able to turn on the drive to use his talents to their highest level. If he can, then the Knicks are the best team in the east and it will not even be close. Davis not only creates shots for team mates when on his game, he shreds defenses and creates easy shots. And the Miami Heat do not have an answer to guard him. Spoelstra could put Lebron on Rose, because Rose still relies on strength and speed to beat people off the dribble and Lebron is clearly fast enough and strong enough to stay in front of Rose. Davis has an explosive first step, but he is far more adept at using his dribble to set a defender up. He'll get Lebron leaning one way and blow by him on the other. Cleveland last season beat Miami after Davis got there, and it was Davis who took turns clowning one Heat defender after another and either scoring or setting up team mates for easy buckets, that made the difference in the 4th quarter. Now put him on the floor with Carmelo, Amare, Chandler, Shumpert or whomever else D'Antoni wants to put out there and understand how ugly things could get for Miami if Davis is feeling frisky.
The truth is Baron Davis is not just a good point guard, he is an elite one when he wants to be. He is not just an elite point guard, he is an elite player when he wants to be. However will he want to be. Davis is not just a plug in at the point guard spot, the man is a bona fide star when motivated. The Knicks medical staff will have to get him healthy, D'Antoni will have to keep him motivated, and his team mates will have to learn how to play with him. All of that happens and D'Antoni may not just be shooting off his mouth when he says "I believe we can win it all, right now." It is just a question of which Baron Davis did we sign.

2013 Brings 121 Hotel Rooms
4 Jan 2013
Ricoh Arena, Coventry
41 new hotel rooms at the Ricoh Arena
A £2 million investment which will create an extra 41 bedrooms at the on-site hotel at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry is nearing completion.
The additional bedrooms in the north and south wings of the stadium will increase the number of bedrooms from 80 to 121.
The rooms, which are an extension of the existing De Vere Hotel, will open on January 18, 2013 and are being built by Shaylor Construction.
Liz Cooper, marketing director at the Ricoh Arena, said the £2 million investment in its hotel accommodation was testament to the success of its conferences and exhibitions.
"Our conference and exhibition business is growing fast and with over 15,000 sqm of event space the additional hotel rooms are very important regardless whether it's a booking for smaller conferences for around 100 to 200 delegates or for larger conference for between 2,000 to 5,000 delegates," she said.
"Previously, when we have held large events we have consistently booked rooms in other nearby hotels since there are 2,500 rooms within a short drive of the Ricoh Arena.
"By increasing our on-site accommodation from the original 71 when we opened in 2005 to 80 in 2011 and now to 121 next year, more event organisers and their delegates will be able to stay on-site.
"Our on-site rooms are particularly popular with organisers since they like to be close at hand in the final planning stages ahead of the opening of their conference or exhibition.
"We have converted the space where the original health and fitness club was located by building a new mezzanine in the south wing of the building.
"It has enabled us to build an additional 34 rooms which includes some pitch-facing rooms overlooking the stadium bowl and the others have scenic views of Coventry with plenty of natural daylight.
"We have also added seven rooms in the north wing of the hotel which gives us 121 rooms in total over 15,346 sq ft.
"Our purpose-built conference and exhibition facilities attract a mix of blue-chip clients and niche industry events and it is important that we provide everything they need under one roof which is why we took the decision to increase our bedroom stock.
"The success of the Ricoh has meant that we are able to re-invest in the venue and we hope this development will play a key part in continuing to drive the business forward in 2013."
Anyone wishing to book an event or for availability enquiries should email events@ ricoharena.com or call 0844 873 6350.

WORCESTER CO., Md - It appears the Rabies cases in Worcester County are still on the rise: three more cases have been confirmed this month.That brings the total to 21 this year – two more than the final count in 2012.Authorities say the spike appears to be part of a five-year cycle. A widespread outbreak in 2009 marked 52 cases, and lead to the creation of a rabies advisory council. The group included members from the Health Department, Animal Control and local veterinarians, and established best practices for reducing the disease.They included discounted rabies vaccination clinics for county residents and public awareness campaigns on rabid animals. The numbers were on a steady decline – until now.Authorities say residents should report aggressive or threatening animals to law enforcement or animal control immediately. And although you may have an impulse to scare off rabid animals from family or pets, they say you shouldn't do it. Leave it alone and call for help.

1. Drink Water
It's not a new idea, and has been a tip for years, but many of us do not drink enough water. If you frequently drink beverages that contain caffeine (coffee, tea and soda) or alcohol, you may think you're quenching your thirst, but these fluids can actually deplete the body of essential water. Water helps rid the body of toxins, pollutants and waste that can make the body look and feel sluggish. And although it's not technically a moisturizer, water keeps our organs healthy and functioning—including the largest organ of the body—the skin.
2. Use Sunscreen
People of color have a built-in sun protection factor, but it's not enough to completely protect us against harmful UV rays that can cause skin cancer, premature aging and contribute to age spots, melasma and other skin discolorations prevalent in skin of color. It's important to use sunscreen year-round, whenever you will be exposed to sunlight, especially if you are being treated for hyper-pigmentation, acne and other conditions that might require the use of products that can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
For more information about sun safety read Sun Safety for Multicultural Women.
3. Wash Your Face at Night
And the reason is not just to remove makeup, which can clog pores and leave potentially harmful chemicals on the skin overnight. Dirt, environmental pollutants, germs, bacteria and excessive oil accumulates on the skin during the day and should be cleansed away so that the skin can breathe and be rejuvenated.
4. Stop Smoking
Like sun damage, smoking is a major factor in the wrinkling of the skin. Nicotine in cigarette smoke causes blood vessels and capillaries to constrict, decreasing the circulation of oxygen within the skin, which is necessary for the health, maintenance and growth of skin cells.
Find out how smoking and other bad habits make your skin age faster.
5. Proceed With Caution
Using products that can discolor skin of color, such as bleaching creams, acne treatments, and products with harmful chemicals, and doing certain procedures such as harsh dermabrasion or chemical peels, can cause skin damage, scars and keloids. Always do research and consult a professional about the potential side effects of products and procedures.
6. Use Products for Your Skin Type
Products that are not formulated for your skin type can cause problems. For example, products made for oily skin can further dry out dry skin. Oily or rich moisturizing formulations that are perfect for dry skin can make oily skin shiny or can clog the pores, causing breakouts. Whether your skin is normal, oily, dry, combination, sensitive or mature, seek out products meant for your special skin.
7. Consume Beautiful Food
What you put inside your skin is as important as what you put on it. If you're eating a diet full of fatty, processed, fried, and fast foods and are using too much sugar and salt, you are negatively impacting your skin's health--and no beauty product will be able to solve that problem! Instead consumed a diet with the right amount of vitamins and minerals, found in abundance in fruits and vegetables.
Not fond of fruits and vegetables? These Juice Recipes for Clear and Smooth Skin can help.
8. Get Enough Sleep
Sleep deprivation can cause under eye circles and puffiness, dull-looking skin, and it also contributes to stress, which aggravates skin conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Improve your skin while you sleep.
9. Respect Your Skin Tone
There is a reason why certain foundations, eye shadow shades and lip stick colors look better on you than others. Skin tone, as well as skin undertones, really do have an impact on what makeup you should use. A foundation that is too light or too dark can make you look like you're wearing a mask. Certain makeup colors might make your skin look muddy or sallow, while others will give skin a gorgeous glow. And makeup is not made to change your natural appearance. The perfect makeup enhances your beauty.
You can find out more about makeup and skin tone by reading Summer Makeup Trends for Multicultural Women.
10. Follow What's Good For You, Not Trends
Trendy makeup looks can be fun, but just make sure that they suit you. There's nothing worse than following a popular trend that looks horrible or clownish on you. Not everything should be tried. And be careful of beauty fads like "beauty vitamins," "secret" beauty ingredients or the new magic anti-aging device with loads of promises but little science behind them. Following these 10 steps will be the only anti-aging magic that you'll need.

PEORIA, Ill -- During this disastrous time in the northeast, the Central Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross is doing its part to assist residents in need.
Erin Miller with the Red Cross says the organization's Emergency Response Vehicle, which delivers food and supplies to those in need, has already left for the northeast along with nine volunteers.
Miller says Red Cross volunteers are specially trained to handle natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy.
"Some of our volunteers are specialized with sheltering and they will go and set up shelters and make sure that anyone who is taking refuge in a Red Cross shelter will have a compassionate face to greet them," said Miller.
Miller says volunteers are also trained in dealing with mental health issues since such a catastrophic event can have traumatizing mental effects on those affected.

These Moroccan almond cookies take their name from their crescent shape. In Arabic they're called Kaab el Ghazal or "gazelle ankles," while in English they're called Gazelle Horns, after the French name Cornes de Gazelles. They're prepared by enclosing almond paste in pastry dough, molding the cookies into the classic shape, and then baking.

Nine forwards in total and one's presence at the camp does not guarantee a spot on the team. The man with the best chance is probably Omark who was on the team last season and played very well in the tournament, scoring ten points in nine games. Lander and Paajarvi are both looking to appear with Sweden's senior national team for the first time and may have a tougher road. That said, of the top twelve Swedish forwards it's very likely that some of them won't be available to play because their NHL team is still in the playoffs (Backstrom, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Franzen), they played in the Olympics and may not want to compete (Sedins) or their name rhymes with Cycle Bamuelsson. All that to say, there is some chance that all three of these players make the team.
