We are not even 15 games into the season yet but the Nets have made some huge strides, especially on defense. So as fans lets give credit to the whole team but I want to give extra credit to 5 specific people/groups those being Avery Johnson, Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, The Bench Mob, and The 6th man aka the crowd.
Let's start off with the little general Avery Johnson. Everybody said that he would actully have to coach this year and that there were no more excuses for him. Avery has gone and he has done a great job with coaching this team. He has gotten this team to play defense which noone thought they would do this year. They are second in points allowed per game at 91.3 points per game(before the Celtics game) and while there slow pace contributes to that their 103.2 defensive rating is 13th in the league which is still better than the Nets were supposed to do on defense. Their offense has also been better thanthe basic stats show. They are 18th in the NBA at points per game at 95.6 but that is also hurt by their brutally slow pace(last in the league). While their points per game is pedestrian there offensive rating is 6th in the league. Avery has put his system in place and gotten everybody to buy into it. The team has gotten better every game so far this season, have played good defense, and have had good plays out of timeouts. Those are the three biggest signs in a good coach because you get the effort, the defense, and all a coach can do for an offense is set up a system and call good plays out of timeouts. Everybody said this was his season and he needed to perform and he has performed well. Give credit to him because he deserves it.
Deron Williams deserves credit for the job he has done so far this season. While Deron's shooting percentage has been poor (39% from the floor and 26% from three) and he is not hitting his usual shots but he has done things that are more important for this team. Deron has been able to distibute the ball immaculately, has been better than he has been on the Nets on defense, and has been a great leader on the court. Deron has had 8.9 assists per game which is good on its own but his passing has been better than that. If you watched the Knicks game the passes are very tough passes and most of his assists are for layups and dunks not 3s people chuck up that go in. His passing has helped Brook Lopez get better because he give him passes where Brook wants them. Deron also knows how to use Brooks crazy lenth(7'6 wingspan)and makes good passes where only Brook can get it specifficaly when they are running down the court and throwing the ball up so Brook can go get it and lay it in the basket. Deron still is not a great defender but he has made it so he is less of a defensive liabillity. Just recently he was able to shut down Raymond Felton, stop Damian Lillard, and was able to hold his own on defense against Chris Paul. He has put his effort level up on defense this year and been a decent defender, which he should be considering his physical tools(6'3 209 with speed and strength). Deron has been a good leader for the team and has held his team accountable as the point guard and the face of the franchise should do.
People looked at Brook Lopez as overpaid, a defensive liabillity, and a horrible rebounder. So far he has looked like a max player and has been much better on defense and while his rebounding numbers are still not great(6.5 per game) the fact that both Kris Humphries and Reggie Evans is on his team does not help his numbers in that department. Brook has always had skill on offense and has just been sublime this season using his size staying in the paint and can still hit that little Tim Duncan bank shot. His defense has been much better than earlier in his career. His defensive rating has gone down(down is good) from 110 to 101, is averaging a career high 2.5 blocks a game, he is hedging on pick and rolls and while he is still slow getting back he is much faster than before. You have to give him credit for putting the time in to improve his offensive game and much improve his defense.
The bench has been tremendous and people are finally giving it recognition after that Knicks game. In alot of games the bench has opened upleads for the Nets. They have shooting with C.J Watson, Keith Bogans, if they ever gets in the rotation Mirza Teletovic and Marshon Brooks, and God(Jerry Stackhouse). They have guys who bring toughness and rebounding in Blatche and Reggie Evans. The bench has been one of the biggest surprises to people so far and while it has suprised me how good they have been I thought there was no question that it was going to be good. Lets go Bench Mob keep doing what your doing.
Last but certainly not least everybody should give credit to the 6th man AKA the fans. The Nets are 8th in attendence so far this year. I am from New Jersey and have a huge amount of pride for that but the fans never seemed to show up in New Jersey. Since the turn of the century the Nets have only gotten in the top 20 in attendance once and never in the top half of the league there. The fact that the fans nevershowed up in New Jersey always upset me because I had to move because of my dad's job but if Ihad stayed I would have gone to everygame I possibly could(I still do but it is they are ussually road games in DC and Charrlotte). That said the crowd has been great for the Nets. The Brooookklllynnn chant gives me chills. The fans are showing up and making the Barclays Center a hard place to play. The fact that people are now showing up in force and are behind the team deserves a tremendous amout of credit.
The Nets have had a great season so far. They have been great on both sides of the ball. What makes this great start even better is that this is not the Nets ceiling as they have shot poorly especially Joe Johnson and Deron Williams. The Nets and the fans look to be in for a great season and I am looking foward to that.

Yorkshire Cancer Research Unit receives £190,000 grant from Movember Foundation
10:22am Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Kate Liptrot
A GROUNDBREAKING research unit at the University of York has been awarded a £190,000 grant made possible by the Movember fundraising drive.
Prostate Cancer UK has given the grant to the Yorkshire Cancer Research Unit to drive forward understanding of how to treat advanced prostate cancer.
Professor Norman Maitland, director of the Yorkshire Cancer Research Unit, based in the Department of Biology, has received the grant to explore whether altering the behaviour of a certain gene in the prostate could help identify therapeutic targets which can stop prostate cancer spreading.
Professor Maitland said: "With this generous grant from Prostate Cancer UK we want to find out exactly how a gene called latexin works in prostate tissues.
"My recent research has already shown that this gene has a strong effect on the fate of the cells which cause the tumour to develop. If we can find a way to increase its activity, in turn reducing the growth of tumours, this may lead to a new focus for the development of treatments for advanced prostate cancer."
The YCR unit at the university also annually receives funding from the R U Taking The P race, which has raised more than £46,645 over the past four years.
Dr Iain Frame, director of research at Prostate Cancer UK said: "Each year almost as many men are diagnosed with prostate cancer as women are diagnosed with breast cancer. But research into prostate cancer is badly underfunded, leaving tests and treatments trailing behind other common cancers.
"Thanks to the support of the Movember Foundation, we have been able to rapidly accelerate our mission to find the answers to the many questions which still surround prostate cancer."
The causes of prostate cancer are largely unknown and the chances of developing it increase as you get older. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older

Captures the frantic action of World War II better than most
You'll start the campaign as a Russian soldier, but later you'll fight as both a Briton and an American. Besides having weapons distinct to each faction like the American's Thompson sub-machine gun and the Russian's Mosin Nagant, each faction has distinct battles. For example, as a Russian you'll defend Stalingrad and as an American you'll take part in a D-Day landing on Point du Hoc. Although each faction has subtle differences, you're still killing Nazi's when it comes down to it.
Each mission begins with a vignette, which includes authentic war footage, but unless you're already interested in World War II history, these intros are pretty dry. Also, Call of Duty 2 has no characters or narrative to follow. The story is almost non-existent, but the game makes up for it with a genuine feeling of camaraderie between you and your fellow soldiers.
As a member of your squad you fight for your life just like everyone else. Nazis constantly fire from all sides so you'll need to use cover and have a steady shot in order to be successful. But you're not alone. Your squad mates are adept and they'll often help YOU just as much as you help them. Bits of their dialog like "Cover me, I'm reloading!" also help establish the bond between you and your fellow soldiers.
If there's one aspect of World War II that Call of Duty 2 conveys best, it's the frenetic action of warfare. There's never a dull moment, whether you're kneeling behind sandbags picking off Nazis one by one, sniping enemies from afar, or commandeering tanks in the North African desert. Most objectives are simple: make it to the spot on your compass-map while killing every Nazi on your path. And thankfully the shooting is lots of fun, because you'll be doing a lot of it. Each gun has a growl that sounds genuine and feels powerful, and the aiming reticule is subtle to keep you immersed in the action.
Although the multi-player isn't a cinematic experience, it's fully featured with several maps and game types. It's easy to get right into the action with a "Quick Match," and a whole lot of fun to pick your favorite faction and weapon to hone your skills with. The maps are varied, giving you a variety of options and overall the game has a top-notch online experience.
Call of Duty 2's thrilling campaign and competitive multiplayer make it one of the best first-person choices on the Xbox 360.

EDEN Dry Roasted, Salted Pumpkin Seeds are a nutritious and healthy snack food. An excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, phosphorus and magnesium. Cholesterol free and low sodium. A source of potassium, iron, zinc, and omega 3, 6, and 9. Although they are high in fat, they are low in saturated fats and higher in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
According to a study conducted in Thailand researchers have found that eating pumpkin seeds as a snack can help prevent the most common type of kidney stone, called a calcium oxalate stone. Pumpkin seeds appear to reduce levels of substances that promote stone formation in the urine and increases levels of substances that inhibit stone formation. Two studies conducted in China and Russia found that pumpkin seeds seem to be helpful to rid the body of parasitic disease. Pumpkin seeds also contain L-tryptophan and some researchers suggest that they may help remedy depression, further studies are needed though.

While struggling to renovate their mountain cabin in the dead of winter, Kristian and Kimberly Naslund caught sight of the snow-covered pines outside their window, swaying in time to music softly playing in the background. Today, the husband-and-wife team has immortalized this shared placid moment through the very name of their craft distillery, bringing along Kristian's father Chris into the business as the trio fashions small-batch whiskeys, rums, liqueurs, and gins of the highest caliber. Since the distillery is a working production facility, visitors and tourists are likely to witness workers filling, labeling, and numbering each bottle by hand in the bottling area or berobed and bearded alchemists turning mash into spirits over the artisanal copper-pot still. Each powerful sip of bourbon and sweet mouthful of liqueur is culled from all-natural ingredients, free from artificial extracts, flavorings, or coloring agents.
At five Chipper's Lanes FUN Center locations, colorful balls sail down glossy lanes, overseen during weekends and birthday parties by the center's mascot, Chipper the Chipmunk. During special events, guests can go to Chipper for a warm hug and supplement bowling fun with occasional live music performances and cosmic bowling at select locations. Between frames, players restore energy with burgers or pizza at the full-service, onsite restaurant.
Starting in 1919, author and collector Harold Marion Dunning began assembling artifacts and stories about Loveland?s pioneers. By 1938, he had built up enough of a collection to start a history museum in a converted garage. Today, Loveland Museum is both an art and history museum that encompasses more than 30,000 objects. Most are displayed in interactive historical exhibits where visitors can discover how Great Western Sugar churned out its namesake or sit on one of mountain man Mariano Medina?s saddles.
The museum's trio of art galleries brings world-class art to Loveland with various exhibits, renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Dale Chihuly, Salvador Dali, Wayne Thiebaud, and Francisco Goya, and a gallery dedicated to contemporary artists. This gallery highlights different artists or themes roughly every 8???12 weeks, and the artists themselves frequently stop by to give lectures on everything from their inspirations to whether they could take Pablo Picasso in a fight. The artist?s talks are among many classes and programs hosted by Loveland Museum, which include kids? art classes and historical lectures from visiting scholars.
The mountain-savvy staff at Apex Ex equip people of all skill levels with the knowledge, gear, and plans necessary to explore the wilderness all year round. Seasoned guides and instructors, many of whom are trained by organizations such as the National Outdoor Leadership School and the American Mountain Guides Association, lead classes that teach students important lessons ranging from backcountry snow basics to avalanche rescue. In summer months, the experts lead guided climbing and backpacking trips and teach riders to careen down rocky paths of every sort during mountain-biking lessons.
For 20 minutes, darkness descends over your world. The only light is the eery glow of the Egyptian ruins that surround you, plus the streaks of your enemies' bright LEDs as they sprint through the arena. Inside Loveland Laser Tag Fun Center's 5,700-square-foot battlefield, the action spreads across three levels, as up to 40 total players compete for high scores in a simulation of mankind's oldest conflict: what to wear with a vest. Along with using high-tech Gen7 Supernova equipment, laser tag sessions have plenty of ways to keep the game fresh, hosting a variety of game modes and allowing players to follow their scoring progress online.
Yet the laser tag arena only accounts for a portion of the fun at Loveland. Outside the competition area, an indoor rope course stretches over an arcade, and a climbing wall looms 23 feet high. Luckily, house-made pizza gives climbers plenty of energy for the ascent.

Terry Sandmeier, informally known as Captain Sandy, began cultivating his lifelong passion for sailing as a boy growing up on the Gulf of Mexico. He first acquired the taste for sailing while cruising along the gulf coast from Texas to Mississippi. Today, with more than 35 years of experience, Captain Sandy alternates between sailing Colorado's mountain lakes and the warm waters off the Florida Keys. He imparts his experience to burgeoning sailors aboard his US Yachts 18, teaching them skills from interpreting the wind to lassoing passing clouds on breezeless days.

Roll truffles in melted chocolate, smoothly covering surface and place on parchment or waxed paper. Chill at least one hour—or up to a week. Bring to room temperature just before serving. Refrigerate any remaining truffles.
Option: Roll the truffle balls in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or finely ground pecans in place of or in additional to the chocolate coating.

Kannada is the language of Karnataka. Like many other South-Asian languages, Kannada exhibits the phenomenon of diglossia whereby the spoken language differs to a greater or lesser extent from the spoken version of the literary language. In contrast with literary language, the spoken language is used for informal purposes such as in the home, on the street and increasingly in the dialogue portions of novels and short-stories, in plays and in movies. Most literary activities are carried on in a fairly standard form of the literary dialect.
The speech of educated people of the Bangalore-Mysore area of Karnataka is accepted by most as 'standard'. This is the dialect used in films and on the radio to a certain extent and the one which educated speakers from other region emulate when they want to communicate with people from different areas.

Before every draft begins, hundreds of players walk around in their underwear in front of scouts. I can assure you it's nothing gay. Instead, the scouts want to see what the player's actual height and weight is. Most importantly though, they want to see what the player's arm length is. This is a concern mostly for OT's. The reason the arm length is so important is because the longer the arms are, the more leverage the OT may have in stopping the bull rush of the elite pass rushers. This factor became especially noticable following Robert Gallery's disspointment following his draft a few years ago. Before I go into why Gallery was a dissapointment, lets take a look at some big name OT's in the league and take a look at what their arm length is:
Charles Brown (he'll be tied to Bulaga for a while)- 35 1/4
Bryan Bulaga- 33 1/4
Ryan Clady- 36
D' Brickashaw Ferguson- 35 1/2
Jeff Otah- 34 5/8
Levi Brown- 33 1/8
Jonathon Ogden- 33
Jake Long- 33
Chris Williams- 32-3/4
Joe Thomas- 32 1/2
Robert Gallery- 32 1/4
After taking a look at that list, it's interesting to note that Bryan Bulaga has longer arms than one of the best OT's in history in Jonathon Ogden and the current best OT in the NFL in Joe Thomas. With that said, do long arms really have that big of an impact in how successfull an OT will be in the NFL?
When we try and figure out why Gallery fell short, we can note a couple things: he had injury issues and played on an awful Offensive Line. It's true that the LT is the most important piece in the OL, but as every coach and lineman knows, it's how they gel together. Did Gallery trust the LG he played next to? Were all the sacks Gallery gave up a result of the QB holding onto the ball too long? Was it because teams didn't respect the passing game, so they loaded the box with 8 men, often times overloading the left side of the line? Those could all be a number of reasons why Robert Gallery failed in the NFL.
Arguably, Joe Thomas is the best OT in the NFL today. So what makes him different from Gallery if his arms were only 1/4 of an inch longer? Perhaps the one reason is this: Joe Thomas can play football! Ok, but seriously, it's a matter of whether or not the player is willing to play his hardest and put all his effort into it.
It's interesting to note that most scouts are comparing Bulaga to Jake Long. Scouts claim the 2 are virtually identical. Promising news for us! With that said, is the arm length of an OT becoming less of a factor if Bulaga performs at a high level along with Joe Thomas and Jake Long?

I purchased this theme and created this website.
Is there any way to fix the menu display on an iPad? It drops the contact button down for some reason.
I have no idea to be honest. It doesn't look to be too wide and this is the only reason I can think of. I'll have a closer look when I'm back home tonight. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Yea, I looked at the CSS and couldn't find what was causing it. I played with the viewport tag to see if this would help but it didn't.
Please let me know if you can provide a fix.
Hi, great looking theme. Before i purchase, is there an eay way to change the background color?

Help PleasE?
Hi. It's working for me. It's opening http://softstepcarpet.com/
where I can change the color of Slider Title? thank you
In main.js files. It's a gradient done in Javascript: Cufon.replace('.nivo-info strong', { color: '-linear-gradient(#f6e77c, #ab6c06, #f6e77c, #ab6c06)', textShadow: '#000 1px 1px 1px', fontSize: '110px' });
How can I change the color of the page title font? like on this page http://six4teen.com/bobbyo/?page_id=7 where it says Special Offers
It'a javascript font. You can generate whatever font you like on http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ It should be in the help file included in the zip you have downloaded. Let me know if it's not there, but I'm pretty sure it is.
Which file are the html tags in? Thanks.
What HTML files? This is a wordpress theme.
Hi great theme! One problem I'm running into though for some reason when i try and add a featured image to blog post int doesn't show up on the actual post, anyway of fixing this???
Usually the thumbnail is used for preview only on category page. But if you want it on full post page – you need to paste this code in the single.php on the line 49: if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?> <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'post-thumbnail', array('class' => "thumbnail") ); ?><?php }
I just purchased this theme this morning and already have it up and running. It's awesome and easy to use! One question, on the homepage widgets, the icons you have (coffee cup, champagne glasses, etc), is there anywhere I can go to get icons similar icons?
Thank you for your time.
Hi. I'm wondering if I can change the font that you used in the widgets – sidebars, i.e. Italian Restaurant – Featured Page and Teaser.
Of course you can. It's javascript font. Go to http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ to generate your font and read documentation how to use it. You can change font, color, gradient, whatever you like.

I'm having trouble getting the 3 widgets/boxes aligned within the footer area – it only seems to fit 2. Can I email you for help privately?
Sure you can. It's probably only padding or image width. Let me know in which browser.
My footer contact form doesn't work. is there anything special i need to do?
Send me a link to you website. I'll have a look.
It works now! I think the server was busy. after the email is sent it redirects to: /hello-world/#_contact Is there a way for me to make it redirect to my contact page? thanks
Nevermind, i figured it out. This theme is great and I highly recommend it
Thank you
I've got a couple of issues on the inside pages. When I place images using the column shortcode, they are not aligned across the top. They are set up in three columns. Each image drops down a few pixels from the previous column. Also, there is a border around each of them. I'd like to know where I can delete this border.
It's in style.css file, line 69: img.alignleft, img.alignright {border: 4px solid #F4F4F4}. You can also try to use Firebug or other developer tool for browser to check what style and class is on the image.
I just purchased the theme to make a website for my mother's business. It is WONDERFUL !
I am however having an issue with the set-up of the gallery. I can't figure out how to get my images to utilize the prettyPhoto. I have looked at the instructions in the help folder, but my picture menue doesn't have a "gallery" option. Do I need to move the prettyPhoto.css file to a new location?
You need prettyPhoto css AND js file. It has to be linked in your gallery page <head>. Then you have to add – rel="prettyphoto" to you image link. Just edit my gallery page html file and you'll see what I mean.
Ah! Sorry I thought use talking about other of themes. In the wordpress is little bit different. Send me you website link and I'll have a look what's wrong there.
Can I please get an SQL file to import the settings of the default/sample site?
preferably a wordpress import/export sql file.
Sure. Send me and email on firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Sub menus are glitching out. They stay on the page when I move my cursor off of them and they won't go away if I click off the screen, this is very annoying.
Thanks, it will be fixed.

Hebert P. Ritchie House - 10 Miles Road
© Michael Harrison 2012
This fine home was built circa 1910 for Herbert P. Ritchie and his wife Mary Hay. It was originally at the end of a long 77 foot lot which extended down from the Lake Shore Road.
Herbert P. Ritchie was born in Ontario in 1881. His father John Ritchie Jr. was born in Scotland in 1849, immigrated to Canada, and was a real estate agent in Toronto. He was married to Lillian Dunn. Both parents died young. Lillian died in 1890 of tuberculosis. John died in 1891 of pneumonia. This left their five children as orphans. The eldest John was 15 years old in 1891. Herbert was only 10 years of age and Edith, the youngest was 8.
In the 1901 census Herbert and his sisters Irene and Edith are boarding in a house owned by Mary Lowery.
On November 17, 1909 Herbert married Mary Elizabeth Hay, daughter of Robert Hay, grain buyer, in Toronto.
According to the 1914 Toronto City directory, Ritchie owned H.P. Ritchie and Company, a lace importing and manufacturing company at 38-42 Clifford Street (now part of Richmond Street West). His city home was nearby at 185 Crawford Street. Later he moved to a more substantial home at 56 Heath Street West.
The Ritchies continued to own their Mimico Beach estate until 1926 when they sold it to Arthur W. Miles for $6000 who then incorporated it into Miles Park.
In 1952 the property was acquired by Peter Del Greco who built apartments on the majority of the lot. The portion of the lot containing the house was severed from the main lot and access was provided from Miles Road. The address then became 10 Miles Road.
The house is listed under the Ontario Heritage Act, and remains one of the few remaining original homes in this portion of the Mimico Beach estates.

Yesterday, UFC President Dana White announced that a heavyweight title fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos would move from its scheduled date on November 19 at UFC 139 to November 12 and the UFC's debut on Fox. The most oft-asked question during yesterday's media conference call? Are Velasquez and dos Santos being compensated for being removed from the lucrative confines of pay-per-view?
Velasquez spoke with USA Today's Sergio Non about the announcement:
Q: Originally you were supposed to fight Nov. 19 in San Jose. When UFC contacted you about switching to the Anaheim show on Fox, what was your reaction?
Velasquez: I said "Great." It's definitely a big thing with them having that partnership, and then for us to be on that first fight on Fox is a big thing. So I said yeah. I was all for it.
When did they first approach you about it?
They told me about it last night and wanted to know if I was OK with it. It's a great opportunity.
How do you make up for the loss of pay-per-view income? Or did UFC tell you they'll take care of that?
They took care of it. They're telling us we're going to make so much out of it. It's all working out, so we're happy.
Non also asked Velasquez about his shoulder. Velasquez had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff back in January.
How has your shoulder been coming along since the rotator-cuff surgery?
Shoulder's good. I've been training now for two months straight. It feels good. I'm happy with the results of the surgery.
Were there any techniques or motions that were particularly difficult when you first came back?
No. With the shoulder, I have all the movement that I had before. It was just all-around, getting the cobwebs out. I feel like the recovery has been going good.
Velasquez last fought in October of 2010, defeating Brock Lesnar by TKO to win the UFC heavyweight title. He is undefeated in nine professional bouts.

It's a tragic story that continues to haunt family and friends of Cpt. Scott Corwin. It's been 10 years since the soldier was gunned down at Monterey Square in Savannah and the case still remains unsolved.
Corwin's father returns to Savannah every year to the very location where his son was shot twice while he and his girlfriend were walking home. WTOC met up with him on Thursday as he begs for someone to come forward.
"It's wearing me down," said Greg Corwin.
This was an emotional day for Corwin, knowing his son Cpt. Scott Corwin's killer is still out there.
Cpt. Corwin had recently moved to Savannah and was assigned to the 92nd Engineer Batallion at Fort Stewart. On May 29, 2014 Capt. Corwin and his girlfriend were walking through Monterey Square in the early morning hours when someone fired the shots.
Corwin's father said no one really knows what happened, not even his girlfriend. He said they aren't even sure if the shooter escaped on foot or was driving.
"Somebody knows something, and for whatever reason, they are not saying anything," said Corwin.
Corwin's family is now adding $5,000 to the reward for information boosting the total to $20,000, hoping that might be the incentive someone needs to come forward.
"Our job is to do everything we can to solve the case," he said.
A case they don't want to go cold for another 10 years.
"My son swore to defend and protect everyone, including the guy that shot him," said Corwin. "Whoever it was, he was a captain of the United States Army. He didn't deserve to die like that."
Corwin met with Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police, including Chief Julie Tolbert.
This year was the first time he has ever met with the chief of police and Corwin said he is confident the case is in good hands.
"I feel like her leadership might be the difference right now," said Corwin.
"We never give up," said SCMPD Capt. Carl Ramey. "The activity this case generates at this point are by any new leads that may come in and we are hoping to generate that."

cradle, in agriculture, rakelike harvesting implement of wood, devised in ancient times for gathering the stalks of wheat, oats, barley, and other grains (first cut with the sickle) and laying them in rows for binding. The later cradle scythe invented in Europe consisted of a framework of long, fingerlike prongs attached to the cutting edge of a long-handled scythe. The device was swung like the usual scythe but simultaneously cut the grain and gathered it into loose bundles ready for tying. Cradles of this type are still employed in some areas of the world.

Sea Turtles as Sentinels of Ocean Health: Linking Land to Sea
A. Alonso Aguirre
Executive Director, Smithsonian-Mason
School of Conservation
Monday, October 7, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
The human impacts on the world's oceans have devastated populations, species and ecosystems, but methodologies to assess marine ecological health are lacking. One proactive method of surveying sentinel species will address the large-scale problem of disease emergence. Sea turtles are "early warning" indicators that may reflect the health of marine ecosystems related to emerging infectious diseases. Sea turtles are good integrators of changes over space and time and represent excellent sentinels of ecological health. By moving in and out of infected/polluted areas, they can spread pathogens and contaminants geographically and throughout the food chain and serve as connectors of land and sea. Few studies link the impacts of terrestrial activities to marine ecosystems but recent research indicates that contamination with a terrestrial origin is impacting many marine populations. New techniques and methodologies are needed to measure long-term impacts on sea turtle populations.
College Athletics: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going?
Craig Esherick
Assistant Professor, Sport Management,
College of Education and Human Development
Monday, November 4, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
Esherick will discuss the history of college athletics in this country. He will then analyze the current state of college athletics and compare our system to that of the 'club system' in Europe. He will offer some opinions as to where we are headed in intercollegiate athletics, where we should be headed and some of the current problems that need to be addressed. The discussion will include examples from Craig's 30 plus years of involvement in intercollegiate athletics while a television commentator, college basketball player, assistant coach and head basketball coach at Georgetown University.
Nanotechnology in Biomedicine: Better Diagnosis, Better Treatment in the Era of Personalized Medicine
Alessandra Luchini
Assistant Professor, Center for Applied
Proteomics and Molecular Medicine,
School of Systems Biology
Monday, April 7, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.
Early diagnosis of cancer and infectious disease is one of the most exciting but challenging areas of biomedical research. Although it is widely appreciated that early diagnosis of cancer before it has metastasized will reduce patient suffering and increase survival, in the past it has been impossible to reliably discover, and measure, very low concentration biomarkers that are produced by early stage cancer. Dr Luchini's team is developing novel nanotechnologies that can reveal previously invisible cancer (and other disease) biomarkers in patients. The research is now being tested in patient clinical trials.

Thomas Sowell: The cynical politics of public budgets
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.
The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in local, state and national government responses to budget cuts.
At the local level, the first response to budget cuts is often to cut the police department and the fire department. There may be all sorts of wasteful boondoggles that could have been cut instead, but that would not produce the public alarm that reducing police protection and fire protection can produce. And public alarm is what can get budget cuts restored.
The Obama administration is following the same pattern. The Department of Homeland Security, for example, released thousands of illegal aliens from prisons to save money - and create alarm.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it is planning to cut back on the number of air traffic controllers, which would, at a minimum, create delays for airline passengers, in addition to fears for safety that can create more public alarm.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut - anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending - rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester.
This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama's interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans.
President Obama has said that he would veto legislation to let him choose what to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about the utter cynicism of this glib man.
The sequester creates more visible damage and more public alarm than if the President were given the authority to trim a little here and a little there in the vast trillions of dollars spent by the government, in order to make a relatively small "cut" that still leaves total federal spending higher than last year.
Only in Washington is a reduction in the rate of growth of spending called a "cut." Moreover, costly boondoggles not covered by the sequester can continue and grow.
Obviously Obama wants public alarm, which he can use to help defeat the Republicans in the 2014 elections, so that Democrats can take back control of the House of Representatives.
When Obama was offered the authority to make the spending cuts wherever he chooses, anywhere in the government's multi-trillion dollar budget, it was the only power that this power-grabbing President has rejected.
Why? Because with this new power would go responsibility for the consequences of his choices. And responsibility for consequences is precisely what both the Obama administration and the Senate Democrats have been avoiding for years, by refusing to pass a federal budget, as required by the Constitution of the United States.
Democrats prefer to get the political benefits from handing out goodies, while Republicans can be blamed for not subsequently raising enough taxes to pay for the Democrats' spending spree.
If Obama succeeds in maneuvering the Republicans into positions that cause them to lose control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections, then as a President who never has to face the voters again, he would be in an ideal position to create a big spending liberals' heaven.
But it will be far from heaven for the economy, with Obama-appointed bureaucrats burying businesses in red tape and job-killing costs, while expanding the size and arbitrary powers of government. We could become the world's largest banana republic.

In Mobile Payments, It's PayPal 2, Google 0
Even more talk about turning your phone or mobile device into a payment system, or electronic wallet. It looks like the mobile commerce area will be the next big thing, very soon!
I am not so sure about the discussions regarding cheques, but there is plenty more to watch in the competition between PayPal and Google. Nothing like a bit of competition to spur innovation.
I am intrigued that Google is heading down the device specific path with the Checkout payment system for its Android phones. Surely one thing we have learnt by now is the importance of openess and ubiquity, maybe not, it seems the pursuit of competitive advantage and domination overcomes such logic each time.
Although there is "rumored talks between PayPal and Google to make PayPal a payment option for buying apps on Google's Android phones. PayPal is the payment system behind Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry App World and is an option for buying apps on Apple's iPhone."
One to watch for the nfp sector – PayPal, a unit of eBay Inc., will add a charitable-donation feature to its app for Apple Inc. iPhones

Forget the iPhone as a ticket, maybe use your credit card?
Soon after the announcement of the potential of iPhones as tickets comes the announcement from Visa that it is rolling out its variation on admission control. We are heading toward systems one way or another that validate an admission by a unique identifier attached to the source transaction, as opposed to an anonymous paper ticket. The next big step will be the widespread adoption of scanners at the point of entry at venues. Stay tuned for innovation and commodity pricing to accelerate adoption there.
"Visa has already implemented multi-application prepaid cards around the world that enable card use for personal identification, building access, health care and government benefits, medical and school discounts, and money transfer."
Of relevance here is that the multi-application prepaid cards can be used for admission to ticketed events.
"Visa is launching the card in conjunction with this month's 2010 Youth Olympic Games held in Singapore. The cards were used for admission to the event's Aug. 14 opening ceremony, and will also be used for entry to Thursday's closing ceremonies."
An important aspect is that the Visa prepaid cards allow funds from different sources (ie different agents, promoters, venues and events are possible) to be used on the same card.
It looks like Visa is looking to innovation to support its business as it finds the marketplace changing rapidly. "Visa says 70 percent of the transactions it handles are now made with debit or prepaid cards."

Apple Adds to Future Ticketing Potential of the iPhone
Adding weight to a previous posting Apple is patently on the move into ticketing comes the announcement that Apple has hired an expert in NFC or described as "one of the big go-to guys if you're interested in cell phone payment systems".
Near-Field Communications (NFC) has been applied to public transport for contact free ticketing amongst other things. Qantas is trialling it at Perth Airport currently. " NFC uses very short-range radio signals to send data between two system, typically with a flat spiral metal antenna–this is concealed inside those smart train tickets (or member card), since it's both cheap and flexible."
The difference is that developing this for iPhones may offer greater functionality and new service levels and services: "In high-tech NFC implementations, the antenna is hooked up to something much more powerful like a smartphone. When the phone is placed on or over an NFC sensor pad, much more complicated data can then be sent between the two systems, with data going to and from the phone."
"NFC tech has been available for years, but it's only really taken off in a few markets–like Japan–since the benefits have been pretty much limited to its contact-free nature. But now, with smartphones becoming the norm, the cleverer uses of NFC could mean the tech is about to explode into usefulness …"

Ticketmaster Chief Wants More Transparency
"The elephant in the room is the service fee, … The data says you sell more tickets when you bundle it all in." – Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard
I am sorry but I have to feel very cynical about Hubbard Suggesting or even blaming "practices that insult buyers' intelligence" for the softening of demand for live events.
He, as CEO of the largest ticketing company worldwide, is soley responsible for the practice of add-on fees for 'convenience' through to charges to print your own tickets.
Surely, even they get embarassed by the self-serving nature of such contradictory nonsense.

Restrictions of Paperless Tickets Policed
The State of New York has set an interesting precedent enacting a law that requires artists, promoters, sports teams and venues to purchase traditional paper tickets if the seller does "not allow consumers to transfer their tickets independent of the operator."
Transferability is the issue here and the right of consumers to pass on the right to attend an event if they so choose and to whomever they choose.
It is interesting that the technological innovation of paperless ticketing has been hijacked by Live Nation Entertainment as a means to block the secondary market. I am not commenting on the validity of the secondary market and the potential downsides of scalping and touting. However, it is a good start that the rights of consumers are being protected here, the right of transferability.
In addition, strategic limitations upon the increasing market power of Live Nation Entertainment can not be a bad thing. Great concern has been expressed over the dominance of the vertical integration of the Ticketmaster ticket agency and the Live Nation venue and artist management business. While the merger has been approved, it makes no sense to also allow Ticketmaster monopolise the control, of inventory down to the individual consumer level.
Lets hope that the issue of the secondary market is not used by Ticketmaster and Live Nation to justify a reduction in the rights of consumers.

A plan to have developers pitch in for street improvements is up for City Council review Tuesday night.
The "transportation impact fees" would be assessed by the city on commercial and housing developers to offset a substantial amount of project costs in the next two decades.
Fees for housing developers would be as high as $7,800 per room and $30.10 per square foot for commercial developers—the region's second-highest—after those of the Los Angeles International Airport neighborhoods of Venice, Marina del Rey and Playa Vista.
City officials estimate collecting $60 million in the next 18 years, nearly half of the $119 million in improvements the city forecasts spending on such projects as such as modifying the Fourth Street bridge, adding bike lanes across the city and expanding its real-time mobile and Web parking maps.
According to a report from David Martin, the city's community and housing development director:
A viable future network for auto drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and transit users would rely on investment by the private sector and the public sector. As proposed, the Transportation Impact Fee would offset part of the costs associated with the identified transportation improvements, but not cover the full cost of these improvements. City funds and County transportation funds, such as those from Proposition A, Proposition C and Measure R would need to be applied for and awarded.
Not all transportation changes will need to occur in the public right-of-way through capital improvement projects; new buildings will need to provide the infrastructure to support walking, cycling and riding transit on their own property through changes in the zoning ordinance and as negotiated through development agreements. These continued investments in the future of Santa Monica will help ensure the community's on-going economic health and vitality.
City planning commissioners have looked at the fees as a way to stall development, which has picked up steam in spite of the recession and. They've been requested for several years now by the commission and the City Council.
The fees would be imposed under the California Mitigation Fee Act. Enacted in 1987, it allows local governments to charge fees, separate from taxes and special assessments, to defray the costs of constructing public transportation improvement projects.
Such fees are already being negotiated in Santa Monica under special agreements with developers who ask to build oversized hotels and mixed office/shopping/residential projects that don't adhere to the city's zoning and land-use rules.
If the City Council adopts a Transportation Impact Fee ordinance, the fee schedule would set the bar for the minimum amounts when negotiating fees for development agreements.
"The purpose is pretty simple and straight forward, to make sure development pays its fair share in mitigating new traffic in Santa Monica," Jeffrey Tumlin of Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates told the Planning Commission in March. "These types of fees are common across California."
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance. It did ask that so-called affordable housing units for low- and very low-income earners be exempt from the fee.
Transportation impact fees are already imposed in cities with similar markets, such as Irvine, Pasadena, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara County, West Hollywood, Palo Alto, Emeryville, Redwood City and San Francisco.
Fees in those cities range between $1,021 and $7,175 per housing unit and $1.20 to $20.28 per square foot for retail. Offices and industrial spaces draw less per square foot, anywhere from 90 cents to $20.28 in some cities.
Santa Monica could get away with fees higher than those of other cities, because "we know this is a community that's quite comfortable putting real pressure on developers," Tumlin told the commission earlier this year.

Verizon Continues to Grow Its 4G LTE Network, Launching Service in Five New Markets and Expanding in Three Others on Jan. 19
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, owner of the nation's fastest 4G network, is kicking off 2012 by turning on 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) in five new markets and expanding the network in three others on Jan. 19. The continued growth of the 4G LTE network represents Verizon's commitment to strengthening and enhancing the network and delivering the highest performance and reliability for its customers.
Following the launches on Jan. 19, more than 200 million people in 195 markets across the United States can take advantage of the blazingly fast speeds offered by Verizon's 4G LTE network. Customers can choose from a wide variety of 4G LTE devices, including the Spectrum™ by LG, available starting tomorrow. The Spectrum by LG was one of six new 4G LTE devices announced at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). From the expanded 4G LTE DROID family, to the new Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.7 and the Verizon Jetpacks™, Verizon Wireless now offers something for everyone on its 4G LTE network.
On Thursday, Jan. 19, the company will turn on its 4G LTE network in Glens Falls and Utica, N.Y.; Lawton, Okla.; and Brownsville and McAllen, Texas. The company is also expanding its network on Jan. 19 in Atlanta, Houston and Spokane, Wash.
"As we enter 2012, Verizon's 4G LTE network remains the largest by far in the United States, and we continue to grow the network and bring Verizon's unparalleled 4G LTE services to more and more people," said David Small, chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless.
4G LTE Speed and Coverage
In real-world, fully loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink. When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast. Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their area, or when they travel to an area already covered by 4G LTE.

I've had the privilege of working side-by-side with Chanel since she was in college (my very first intern!) and it's been fun to see her evolve into a confident, well-traveled twenty-something who's usually the one filling me in on what various cultural references mean. The things that haven't changed? Her willingness to take style risks (and ability to pull them off), and penchant for nailing a trend first…usually moving onto the next big thing by the time the rest of us have caught on. The girl knows what she likes – and thankfully she's sharing the details here!
Avocados. I've already totally geeked out about avocados, so I'll spare you guys another confession of my very real love for the fruit. Let's just leave it at: I'm addicted to avocados. image.

When people think of Thanksgiving, they usually think of football. On Thursday in Bay County, that was definitely the case for 58 football teams from across the country as the 45th Annual Snapper Bowl kicked off. Harold Creel started the tournament back in 1967, and while not much has changed since grandson Kenny took over, there is one different this year that grandpa Creel would be proud of.
"Back in the day, my grandpa, his vision was to not only have a free tournament but also a no state of play tournament," said Kenny on Thursday. "This year, we did this. We brought all these teams out here for no entry fee. A lot of tournaments from around the US have a big attendance from their local teams. We're blessed to have the three local teams that we have out of the 58 teams, at one point we were at 95 teams. We wanted to keep everyone on Panama City Beach, and we didn't have the fields to have all those teams."
The Snapper Bowl is double elimination, and wraps up on Saturday. This year, a special guest came to the beach to check out Snapper Bowl action, as former Philadelphia Eagle and eight year NFL veteran Mark McMillian came to talk to the kids.
McMillian played at Alabama in the early 1990's, and will be the first to tell you he doesn't look like your typical NFL athlete- standing just 5'7. Despite his size, McMillian led the NFL in interception return years in 1997, and said he wants all the kids to reach their goals.
"I was cut from playing youth football. They said I was too small," he remembered Thursday night. "Some of the things I was telling these kids, they have a great opportunity to gel and play football at a young age. I was unable to play because they said I was too small, I wasn't able to make the weight. Seeing these kids out here, able to play and live out their dreams, I was running up and down the sidelines in the last game I was at, I'm just excited to see these kids have fun."

Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller has stepped forward to speak on the pressure he feels of dropping his Watching Movies with the Sound Off on the same day Kanye West's Yeezus and J. Cole's Born Sinner albums arrive.
According to Miller, the initial buzz of Ye's album dropping on June 18th threw him off.
"Kanye's album. It is [dropping that day], for real? You guys have the industry connect. So is it for real? Right. I feel him. At first, I had that date for a while and then it felt so right," Miller said, referring to June 18th. "And then I was a little nervous at first. But I was like, 'This is an omen.'" (Skee TV)
Earlier in the week, J. Cole spoke on his motivation for moving his Born Sinner's release date up a week.
"Instantly the lightbulb [turned on]... it got real. I made one phone call to somebody that would know, just to make sure first. As soon as I got it confirmed, I was like, 'Yo...' The idea hit me instantly: 'You got to go to that date,'" he said. "I'm not going to sit [here]... I worked too hard to come a week later after Kanye West drops an amazing album. It'd be like, 'Oh and J.Cole dropped too, a week later.' Nah. I'm going to go see him on that date. He's the greatest. So it's like, I'm a competitor by nature so it was instant, it wasn't even a thought," the Roc Nation artist continued. (Billboard)
Last weekend, Kanye's Yeezus album title and release date were revealed.
Apparently, his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is also part of his marketing team. She posted a photo on Instagram Saturday night showing the album artwork for Yeezus alongside a pair of the rapper's Air Yeezy sneakers, which he designed for Nike. "#Yeezus #RedYeezy's #SNL #Tonight #NewSlaves #YeezySeason #Donda #June18," she captioned the image. (USA Today)
Coincidentally, Brooklyn rapper Fabolous recently decided to delay his Loso's Way 2 album from its June 18th release.
Previously due June 18, Loso's Way 2 will now arrive in late July (either the 23rd or 30th). "We actually pushed back a little bit. We needed to handle some technicalities." Twelve years after releasing his debut, Fab feels confident about his status in the game. "I'm cool, I'm blessed, and God has blessed me to be here," he said. "This is a young man's game, so it's a blessing just to be here still now." He plans to do some acting, but music remains his focus. "I definitely want to get more present in the game." (Rap-Up)
