|Lions | Eric Ebron out of practice
Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:04:02 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) is out of practice Wednesday, Oct. 22.
Fantasy Tip: Ebron ($3,300; 6.6% of your cap) isn't a good start on FantasyScore if he's able to go this week.

|Lions | Eric Ebron inactive for Week 7
Sun, 19 Oct 2014 08:50:14 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) is inactive for the game Sunday, Oct. 19.
Fantasy Tip: Brandon Pettigrew ($3,000; 6% of your cap) is a poor selection on FantasyScore today as he's primarily a blocker. RB Joique Bell ($5,200; 10.4%) could see more action in the passing game today and is a great RB2.

|Lions | Jordan Thompson could have major role
Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:35:48 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Jordan Thompson was added to the active roster from the practice squad for the team's Week 7 game, and head coach Jim Caldwell indicated that he could serve as the pass-catching tight end with TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) and TE Joseph Fauria (ankle) expected to miss the game. "Obviously in the role he'd play, he'd end up serving in the capacity where Joe and Ebron both would have played," Caldwell said. "And if that happens, he'll be ready for it."
Fantasy Tip: Several of Matthew Stafford's weapons will be missing in Week 7, and Thompson could end up seeing enough targets to make him a worthwhile sleeper.

|Lions | Eric Ebron doubtful for Sunday
Fri, 17 Oct 2014 13:04:22 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Tip: Obviously, you'll want to make sure Ebron isn't in any of your FantasyScore lineups. Brandon Pettigrew is the team's only healthy tight end on roster, so he figures to see a healthy increase in snaps and targets, especially if Calvin Johnson (ankle) doesn't play, either. Consider taking a flier on Pettigrew, since he's so cheap ($3,000).

|Lions | Eric Ebron out again Friday
Fri, 17 Oct 2014 09:19:46 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice Friday, Oct. 17, after tweaking his hamstring in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. "He's had a similar issue before," head coach Jim Caldwell said of Ebron. "It's just a matter of how quickly he's going to be able to rebound. So the doctors are still working with him and it's going to be day-to-day. He hasn't practiced since Wednesday. So hopefully he'll get back soon." If Ebron doesn't play, the team may call up TE Jordan Thompson from the practice squad. TE Brandon Pettigrew is the team's only healthy tight end currently on roster.
Fantasy Tip: Ebron will likely be questionable against the New Orleans Saints, and he's not a smart play at FantasyScore. Take a flier on Pettigrew ($3,000) if Ebron doesn't suit up.

|Lions | Eric Ebron sitting out
Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:33:17 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Oct. 16, after being limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. Ebron saw a career high in snaps in the team's Week 6 victory. The team is already without TE Joseph Fauria (ankle), so if Ebron can't play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints, TE Brandon Pettigrew would be the only active tight end on roster.
Fantasy Tip: Ebron ($3,300; 6.6% of cap) is an attractive option for your FantasyScore lineups if he plays. The Saints have been beat up by opponents all season long. Check back tomorrow for Ebron's status. If he doesn't play, Pettigrew ($3,000) is probably worth a flier if you want to go ultra-cheap at tight end.

|Lions | Eric Ebron limited
Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:15:28 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. He's a new addition to the team's injury report this week.
Fantasy Tip: Ebron's injury probably isn't serious enough to sideline him against the New Orleans Saints this weekend, but monitor his situation. Ebron remains cheap at FantasyScore ($3,300; 6.6% of cap), and he should continue to see more opportunities in the passing game with Calvin Johnson (ankle) unlikely to play again.

|Lions | Calvin Johnson missed another practice
Fri, 10 Oct 2014 09:42:32 -0700
Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (ankle) skipped his third straight practice of the week Friday, Oct. 10, for the first time this year. Head coach Jim Caldwell said a decision on Johnson's status for Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings has not been determined, however. "And also, you never know. There's a possibility. A couple weeks ago, I really didn't think he'd be available but the fact of the matter is he came out after doctors looked at him and said, hey, you know what, he can go," Caldwell said. WRs Corey Fuller, Jeremy Ross and Ryan Broyles and TE Eric Ebron would be tasked with replacing Johnson as a committee if he doesn't play.
Fantasy Tip: Despite Caldwell being non-committal on Johnson, it seems unlikely that he'll play. Keep him out of your FantasyScore lineups this weekend. Golden Tate and Ebron stand to benefit the most with added targets.

|Lions | Eric Ebron to have big role
Fri, 03 Oct 2014 09:50:01 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron, who played a season-high 33 snaps and caught his first touchdown pass in Week 4, will continue to play a big role in the offense in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. "There's plenty of opportunities in every team we're going to play, so hopefully I just go out there and execute," Ebron said. "I don't want to go out there and mess up. Those are just my biggest fears. I never really worry about the opponent, I always worry about myself more than anybody else."
Fantasy Tip: Ebron comes cheap at FantasyScore ($3,300; 6.6% of cap) again this week. He'd make a fine sleeper option at tight end, especially if Calvin Johnson (ankle) is limited again or sits out.

Faced with constant criticism over its handling of the brutal gangrape of a 20-year-old tribal woman allegedly at the behest of a kangaroo court, the West Bengal government Saturday assured the victim of rehabilitation.
Woman and Child Welfare Minister Shashi Panja visited the victim, currently recuperating in a hospital after being repeatedly brutalised Jan 20 by at least a dozen men in Birbhum district's Subalpur village.
"She has a few apprehensions, including whether she would be accepted back in society. I have assured her that the government will extend every possible help to ensure her full rehabilitation. We have advised her not worry about anything and concentrate on regaining her health," Panja said, after meeting the victim at the Suri Sadar Hospital.
The woman was allegedly violated following orders of a tribal kangaroo court which found her "guilty of having an affair with a man outside her community".
The woman has said she was left at the mercy of the men after she was unable to pay Rs.50,000 imposed on her as a fine by the headman for having an affair with a man outside her community. Her male companion was tied up as she was brutalised. He was let off on payment of a fine, and the woman punished for being too poor to pay the fine.
Officials of the district administration as well as of the woman and child welfare department have been in constant touch with the victim.
The incident, which has shaken the nation, and brought India into international headlines for all the wrong reasons, prompted the apex judiciary to issue notice to the Mamata Banerjee government for a probe.
"It is very disturbing news. We take suo motu cognisance of it," Chief Justice of India P. Sathasivam said, as a bench headed by him Friday directed the Birbhum authorities to inquire into the matter and submit a report in one week.
Thirteen people, including the village headman who ordered the brutality, and 12 men who raped the victim through the night, are behind bars.

I tried this after my cleanser was discontinued and my mother in law recommended it. I love it! I love that it doesn't foam. It takes all my makeup off with out drying out my skin. It's very gentle to my combo skin. The smell isn't nearly as bad as the Hope in a Jar. I can handle the smell of Purity no problem. Plus it doesn't seem to linger once you wash it off. My only complaint is I wish the 8oz size came in a pump. I think you can get a 16oz in a pump though. The price doesn't bother me to much since this will last awhile.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stuff is wonderful. I have extremely fair, extremely sensitive skin (even Cetaphil gives me hives), and this is quite literally the first cleanser I've ever been able to use that doesn't irritate my skin.
I got this as part of the Makeup Optional kit, and while I'm usually skeptical of packaging claims (wear less makeup! smoother and brighter skin!), I'm sitting at my desk quite happily with no foundation or concealer for the first time in ages. Can't say enough good things about this line.
I have only been using this for about 2 weeks and I love it so far! Eventhough it says to keep away from eyes, it is great for removing eye makeup while washing your face. I use it morning and night and it is not at all drying to my skin.
I love this cleanser! It leaves my skin soft and allows me to remove my eye-make-up effortlessly. I know some people aren't crazy about the smell, but I find it to be fresh and natural. It's gentle enough to use in the am and the pm and has done wonders for my skin ever since I started using it.
More reviews by gurluwant2love24
This is the best cleanser & eye makeup remover in one!! I use this everynight and while removing my eye makeup, it doesnt sting my eyes. It also leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. I would recommend this to ANYONE whether they wear makeup or not.
Why oh why did I stray from my routine that was working for me? Damn the lure of samples!
I actually used to use Philosophy's Hope in a Jar (before I discovered what products really worked for my skin). I had a few samples of this cleanser along with the rest of my Hope in a Jar, so I decided to try that regime for awhile.
The first day my skin looked fantastic. Felt clean, rosy glow, etc. Within a few days, I had both dry patches and milia forming, and my skin's texture just did not look good.
My theory: The cleanser stripped my skin too much, and the Hope in a Jar clogs my pores more than it moisturizes.
Just for reference, I have skin that does not get zits, but major problems with milia, blackheads and enlarged pores. What works for me :
Cetaphil cleanser
Paula's Choice 2% BHA at night
Jojoba oil as moisturizer
I will never stray from that regime again. I only gave it a 3 because this it not a horrible product - it could be right for some people's skin - just not mine! continued >>
Hate this product. I have really good skin on average- clear, small pores and can usually kill whatever with a spot treatment. I swear this stuff made my pores huge on my forehead and chin- plus a crazy amount of new blackheads popped up! I tried the cleaners for almost two months hoping that my skin was just purging. Nope, my skin just hates it.
No matter how long I washed my face for- I could never get my make-up off at all. I would see massive amounts on my towel when I dried off.
Oh and the cap broke within two weeks.. :P
The only plus was that it is rather gentle, but I still had some problems with irritation due to that wanky smell.
Love this stuff really gets your face clean. Use it twice a day not harsh at all even for sensitive skin. i have a travel size for my shower and one for traveling plus nordstrom sells a big 32 oz bottle last a long time pricey but i wait and get it when they have it on sale. ive tried other things from there line but nothing else worked for me only this what a bummer face wise. But love her shower soaps and amazing grace perfume. Will buy again
I like the product because it cleanses my face and removes all my makeup without stripping the moisture from my face. its very easy to think this cleanser isnt doing its job because it doesnt foam and its so gentle and your face actually feels kind of soft after washing it but it works very well. i have acneprone skin but it does nothing to aggrevate it. i can't say it prevents new breakouts because i still get them occasionally but im almost sure its hormonal and not product driven so if you have sensitive skin im sure this product would work for you too. plus a little goes a long way so despite the cost, it'll last a very long time.
About 6 months ago a SA at Sephora talked me into buying this. I have to admit, I didn't have very high hopes for it. I was a bit turned off by the price as well, but figured I could always return it. Well, I'm now on my 2nd bottle so it's safe to say that I like it. I use a glob about the size of a quarter & massage on dry skin. Then I wet my hand and massage a little more and rinse it all off. My skin is clean without being stripped, dried out, or irritated. Other reviewers have commented about the scent of Purity - I actually like it! It's a bit unique, but I don't find it offensive at all. I will continue to purchase.

Apple TV comes with a $25 iTunes gift card through March 5th
Have you been thinking about buying one of the latest generation Apple TV boxes? If so, now's the time to do it -- Apple is selling the little black boxes through March 5th for the regular price of US$99, but you'll also get a $25 iTunes gift card to buy enough shows and movies to keep yourself happy for at least a few hours.
Our brethren at Engadget speculate that this might be a way for Apple to clear out stocks of the current-generation Apple TV in advance of a new product announcement, but we'll leave that idea to the rumor sites. In the meantime, this is a nice little gift from a company that -- according to sources -- made $1 billion in revenue from Apple TV in 2013.
The deal is available both through Apple Stores and the online store.

Circus Amok's "At the Crossroads"Posted: September 15, 2014 Filed under: AMOK, art, art-making, Brooklyn, fabulousness, gays, NYC, pics 1 Comment
I began working with Circus Amok in the late 1990s, volunteering whenever I could; setting up, passing out programs. Soon after I began appearing at every show, carrying, loading, fixing, making duck quack sound effects as needed.
Circus Amok eventually became the center of my entire queer weirdo community. I'd moved to New York City (a little, but totally unconsciously) to find a life filled with artists, doers and activists—and the electricity of those things overlapping.
A Circus Amok season—like the energy of each performance—is sometimes an overwhelming blur. We move our bodies and our props from very literally one end of the city to another, thirteen-hour days punctuated only by permit surprises, twisted ankles, embracing audiences, applause.
When I remember the details, I can only sometimes tell you if it was 2006 or 2012—but I can fix the images in my mind and then tell you that we were in Marcus Garvey Park, or Coney Island, Tompkins Square or Bedford Playground. In this way, my sense of home in this city has been extended. In fact, when I try to picture myself having not intersected with Amok so many years ago, there is no version of me that I can, or want to imagine.
I love the moment the show begins, the alertness, the tension as we countdown to go. I believe that the momentum that the performance creates is a physical, tangible thing. It washes out over the crowds, in waves of anger and joy, across the the concrete and bits of grass on which we've set up our made-just-for-you spectacle.
The show always opens with stilts, for practical and aesthetic reasons: The stilts take a longish time to put on and take off, and you need something big and explosive to start an outdoor show that will grab the attention of the audience. Then the show moves into a manufactured mayhem—the band plays jerking, crashing, sounds and everyone in the ring begins to flail about, as if some uncertain doom is imminent. I run a microphone out to Jennifer for her welcome speech, and we've taken to kissing each other at the moment of the hand off. It's one of my favorite rituals, both personally, and for what it does theatrically. A tiny pause, a beat of love in the midst of the chaos.
Circus Amok has made me a better writer, a better artist. It has given me a welcoming, challenging space to push my imagination, to conceive possibilities, to work collaboratively. Every season, Circus Amok asks me to become a more genuine version of myself—it allows for that, and it also demands it. I appreciate the irony that in order to do this we first adorn ourselves with wigs and makeup, fabulous feathers and sumptuous sequins. We arm our acrobats with cardboard ice cream cones. We stuff clowns inside of giant papier mache elephants. We present exaggerated, towering, cartoonish versions of our beloved, complicated New York.
I love the after, too—the striking, the packing, the smeared make up. During the season I sleep soundly. Every morning I wake with my pillow covered in glitter.
There are two more weekends, showtimes and locations are here.
Crying Frodo, 2.4: Daniel Remembers Jackson, A Short FictionPosted: August 19, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Daniel is laying in the grass outside a hospital where his mother is inside asleep, dying of cancer. In the falling light of evening, he re-imagines and re-plays a meeting with an ex-lover, Jackson, who carves carousel horses for a living in, of all places, Memphis, Tennessee. Issue 2.4 is straight up short fiction. Crying in spades, plus Rollagraph'd merry-go-round ink.
About.com InterviewPosted: July 20, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
About.com asked me some questions about fiction writing, finding the right form for your ideas, a little bit about Crying Frodo, and if I had any advice for other people writing fiction.
From the New 4th of JulyPosted: July 4, 2014 Filed under: ambiguous, bios that might have been, Brooklyn, cats, friends, nephew, nephew #2, NYC, tennessee, the unbearable weight of history 1 Comment
A lot has been happening. Last night I was at dinner in Williamsburg with my bff, who is in the middle of filing for divorce. She and I became friends because we sat next to each other in chemistry class in 1994-1995, passing notes back and forth about all the cute boys and how over all the rest of it we were. Our school had white dry erase boards, and our teacher–bald and charismatic–never used an eraser, he used his fingers. Wiping out chemical equations, moving atoms from one side to another, and then rubbing his face and head. At the end of the day he'd be covered in blobby smudges of blue and green. I never understood why we had to learn those things, oxygen and hydrogen and sodium and how each attracts or doesn't attract the other. At the time I remember thinking 'I will never need this in my life, ever.' Because by that age you are basically already who you are, and you know what you will and won't ever need. I realize why they teach those things–because you cast the widest net in order to catch the most students. So, I am eating the za'atar blackened chicken and we are talking about how horrible her ex-husband has been acting and we are drinking room temperature martinis because the restaurant is so very hot. A summer storm begins, and it is pouring down the awning outside and at the edge of the fabric it looks like tiny silver beads, and I am thinking: I do not know how I would have made it through chemistry class, and the last 16 years, without her.
After, I walk to the G Train at Metropolitan, and on the platform is a busker playing banjo, using his empty suitcase as both a stool and base drum. Across, on the opposite platform, is a guy playing the fiddle, and in fact, the two of them are playing together. I'm not drunk (what's two drinks?) but I'm a little buzzy, and it was one of those nights, when New York feels magic, the night before today, the 4th of July, when everyone's weekend starts at the same time, and it feels like everyone is having lukewarm martinis and is happy to ride the subway at least for the air conditioning. They sound pretty incredible, these two, playing together, filling the whole station. It works. The uptown-going and the downtown-going are given the opportunity to watch each other, to make sense of the music coming from both directions. Everyone is suddenly engaged in a new way.
A guy, tall and black and wearing a white v-neck t-shirt, sits down next to me on the bench, we are both moving to the music, just enough to feel it. "Where is that sound from?" he asks me, not waiting for an answer. "Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana? Creole or Cajun or Bluegrass some kinda shit like that, right?" "Yes," I tell him, "but by way of Brooklyn and Steve Reich or…something." It sounds like they're playing bluegrass from space, but, well, less terrible than that. The guy nods his head, "Yeah, I guess it doesn't matter where anything comes from, does it?" The train arrives and we say goodbye and have a good night.
This is a good thing for me to hear right now. In April, my parents put their house, the one I grew up in, on the market. Last week they moved into their new house in Florida, where they are closer to my brother, and his two sons, their grandchildren. My folks lived on Murray Hills Drive for 31 years. I spent 14 years in that house before moving to New York. I write those numbers, thinking how can there be such a difference? A few years from now, I will have lived in New York longer than I ever lived in Tennessee. It is a line that I am still not ready to cross.
Everyone has been asking me about their move, about how I feel about it. Particularly they are asking about the 4th of July. My parents, for each of those 31 years, hosted a 4th of July potluck brunch for the entire neighborhood, somewhere between 100 and 200 people. The mayor might speak, the fire department sends a shiny red truck for the kids to climb on. ( In the early years there were 20 boxes of a dozen Krispy Kremes, perfectly warmed by the Tennessee morning.) My mother gives prizes for the best patriotic costumes. This year there won't be a party. But there I am, writing about the 4th and what happens, still in the present tense. And now it is the 4th of July morning, and I am not gathering picnic tables from all the nearest neighbors backyards, or running to the Bi-Lo for four gallons of each red, yellow and orange punch, or trying to oversleep while the brass band goes through the briefest of rehearsals. I am, instead, in Brooklyn, at my desk with my 16 year-old cat leaning against the laptop, writing this post. The party was small-town, it was original, with a touch of weird–unique, maybe, is a better word. And what I loved most about it was sharing it with my friends from New York. If I am missing one thing the most, it is that.
I'm visiting the whole family in Florida the first week of August. Part of me feels like it is too far away, like I cannot wait the whole month to see the spaces and the neighborhood that my parents are now a part of. I am not sure how long it will take me to understand Florida the way I understood Tennessee–at the cellular level, inside the smallest most elemental part of me. The sharpness of the plants there. The low, flat light. My guess is: never.
Maybe it doesn't matter where something comes from. I write this, even though I know it isn't true.
An ApartmentPosted: July 1, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Sherry decides that she might have a Duane Reade Club Card, after all. She thinks it is probably hiding in the bottom of the junk drawer, like all worthless things in their house. She begins searching amid the rolls of every kind of tape, the browning 33-cent stamps, the fat pink erasers, never used. She does not find the Club Card, but she does find an envelope from her first New York City roommate, Clare, an aspiring model, mailed to her years after Clare had moved back to Minneapolis. Inside are four photographs. The first is of Scott, the redhead from Vermont, Sherry can't remember his last name. Norwood or Norman, maybe. He'd put on Clare's prop wedding dress from a photo shoot and he could play the oboe, so why not, everyone had plenty of tequila and this was always where the nights went. The second photo is of Scott with a mandolin, which he could kind of play, his fingers nimble and thin, and he played Woody Guthrie tunes, wearing what he said was his brother's hand-me-down Joy Division shirt. The third photograph is of Sherry, herself, laughing her shirt undone, her breast white and shining, reflecting the flash of the disposable camera. In this picture you can see the tequila, the apartment looks full of adventure. The rooms were more than Sherry can remember. The last photograph, the one that has been chewed and licked by Clare's now-passed-away cat, is of Jason and Sherry in bed together, arms across each other in some delicate way. The wedding dress is on the floor by the piano, which, being an upright, Sherry and Clare pushed down Manhattan Avenue in the rain one day, covered in a tarp, boxes of their belongings stacked on top. Each bump in the sidewalk was a barrage of notes, not a clump of them, but all of them, nothing like music, just noise.

Kolkata Nightlife
Tourists don't generally come to Kolkata looking for an impressive party scene - the city is known for its cultural attractions - but there is some nightlife to be enjoyed. From a zero-base in the 1990s, Kolkata has now developed a flourishing nightlife - with much of it centred round the big hotels, where good-quality nightclubs attract well-heeled locals and tourists, and 24-hour coffee bars do a brisk trade with chaste young couples. The traditional nocturnal activity of eating out is still universally popular, from top-class restaurants down to roadside eateries. The Tantra (located in the Park Hotel on Park Street), as well as Underground and Shisha, remain the most popular haunts for late-night revellers in Kolkata. It is important to note that Thursday is a dry day in the city, which means that no alcohol is sold or served outside of the major hotels, which usually ignore the rule. Kolkata has a 2am curfew and clubs and late-night venues throughout the city will close at this time.
For theatre, cinema and nightclub event listings, see the publications 'Calcutta This Fortnight' and 'CalCalling' which are widely available. The people in Kolkata are famed for their friendliness - it is known as the City of Joy after all - and locals are usually happy to offer advice on events and party locations.

Our much beloved full contact sport turns 78 today!
Roller Derby was first played in Chicago in 1938. Currently there are more than 1200 derby clubs and the sport still growing. Roller Sports (including derby) are being considered for the 2020 olympics, but the sport has changed a lot in it's 78 years. We have come a long way from the banked-track roller skating marathons of the 1930s, the 1970s scripted story lines and the RollerGames of 1990. Contemporary roller derby has a basic set of rules, developed by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

ARLINGTON -- Men's Health magazine is again showing Arlington some love.Last year, the magazine ranked Arlington No. 1 on its list of Top Fast Food Towns.And in 2007, the city earned the No. 4 spot on the magazine's list of Best Place to Find a Mate.The magazine's latest, well, honor? It seems Arlington is America's seventh Most Sex-Happy City.Other Texas cities also scored well in what the magazine calls "hotbeds of sex."Austin is No. 1, which is not surprising since the University of Texas allows students to pick up three free condoms per day at the Health Promotion Resource Center.Dallas came at No. 2, Houston No. 10, Lubbock No. 11, Fort Worth No. 12 and San Antonio No. 15.The sexual activity may have helped Arlington slim down as well.In 2008, Arlington came in at No. 2 on the Fattest Cities list. This year, it dropped to No. 54, which is still fatter than Fort Worth, the 66th-ranked city for pure poundage.In keeping with good taste, Arlington officials declined to comment on the latest rankings, which were based on sales of condoms and sex toys, birthrates and rates of sexually transmitted diseases.Melody McDonald, 817-390-7386

Hello! Thanks to my editor, Becca (unfld), and thank you to everyone else who has been following Scout and Josh's journey. We have four more chapters after this. Please click the <3 on the top of the screen to show me you're reading or send me a message! I love you all.
"Please tell me you have good news," I said ardently as Josh steps through the cream colored door frame of his physical therapist's office. I have been waiting on him for at least an hour now.
He shook his head and my face fell, "Josh, I'm so sorry," I pull him in tight for a hug.
"Guess who can officially drive," he smiles and pokes me in the stomach.
"What?! That's wonderful!" I beam.
"I'm still going to miss you," I roll my eyes, "Well, why don't we go celebrate?" I offer and we start walking towards the exit.
"Sounds great. What did you have in mind?" He opens the door for me as we step into the brisk air.
"No fucking way," Josh snatched them out of my hand, "This is so awesome. I swore my season tickets expired."
"I guess not. So, are you in?"
"You and basketball? Of course. However, I do have one condition," he wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me in close.
"And what would that be?" I lower my eyes at him.
"I'm driving."
"Fine," I threw my keys at him, "Just don't crash it, you already have to pay for that damaged telephone pole you destroyed. No need to add anything else to the list."
"Oh, be quiet," Josh unlocks my car and opens the door for me to hop in.
"Did I tell you the Catching Fire premiere is in a few days?" Josh tapped his thumb
"You didn't mention it," I gaze out the window, "Are you excited?"
"I think I'm more nervous than anything," a constrained laugh slips out of his mouth.
"You? Josh Hutcherson is nervous? You have got to be kidding me," I turn to him and laugh, "You've done this hundreds of times. You'll be wonderful as always, Mr. Mellark."
"I don't even know what I'm wearing and I have to write a speech. I have procrastinated so much. My Mom and Connor are coming down too. If I was prepared for all of this, I'd be fine. I've hardly seen anyone besides you and my doctors in a month."
"Well, at least you won't need to be wheeled down the red carpet," I grin, "You're going to be fine. You're healthy and your family will be there to support you. You have nothing to worry about."
It only took about twenty minutes to reach the stadium from the doctor's office. It was ridiculously crowded. I could feel a gut-wrenching tension in my stomach form after every whisper Josh and I received as we walked through the crowd. Luckily, our tickets were courtside, so we didn't have to deal with too many of his fans.
"Wow, I haven't been to a game in months," Josh says as he reclines back in his chair.
"I haven't been to one since I was fifteen," I state, "It feels like forever ago."
"Yeah, you were. Atticus got recognized by photographers in the parking lot and we couldn't even drive away because the reporters surrounded his car. I swore I would never come back," I inhale deeply.
"I'm trying to face my fears," I shrug, "There isn't a point in hiding from them."
"Well, I'm glad you're trying," he smiles, "You are the only person I would want to celebrate my brand new ability to drive."
The Lakers were winning by a long shot. The orange ball seemed to be stuck on one side of the court throughout the entirety of the game. Josh watched intently, hooting and hollering when deemed fit. The timer was dwindling down at the end of the fourth quarter. In unison, all of the fans began counting down until the numbers on the screen read 0000 and a obnoxious buzzer rang throughout the stadium.
The crowd rose to their feet and cheered in honor of the victory. The timer turned into a video screen, showing different projections of decked out Lakers fans around the stadium. An elderly couple popped up on the screen and the infamous "Kiss Cam" border surrounded them. Their faces erupted into wide grins and they gently pressed their lips together for the crowd.
"Aw, that's sweet," Josh's gaze stayed fixed on the screen.
"I know," I smiled, "Do you want to head out?"
"Yeah, sure."
I knelt down to hoist my purse onto my shoulder and stood back up to leave. A tapping on my shoulder caused me to turn around behind me. A man of about forty wearing purple and gold face-paint sat behind me, "Sweetheart, you're on the cam," he slurred.
"What are you talking about?" I sneered and whipped my body around to find a gigantic projection of Josh and my own face, surrounded by "X's" and "O's.
"Oh," Josh shook his head, addressing the bystanders, "We aren't together."
Ignoring him, a series of voices shouted out the word, "Kiss!"
"We're only friends," Josh yelled this time while I bit my tongue.
"For crying out loud," the same man garbled, "Just kiss the poor girl."
"You know what?" Josh looked at him, "Fine."
With force, he pulled me into him. His lips met my own with such passion that I didn't ever want to go away. Fireworks shot up in my spine, leaving a prickle of adrenaline racing through my entire body. I reached for the nape of his neck, deepening the kiss. However, in that instant he retreated back to himself, leaving me cold and needy.
The crowd broke out in a series of applause and whistles. Josh's complexion was pallid and tense.
"We can go," I walked past Josh without even looking him in the eye.
"Afraid I'm going to crash the car?" He laughs and resided in the passenger seat.
"I just wanted to drive," I said blankly and shifted the gear into reverse. Striking on the gas pedal, I whipped through the parking lot.
"Are you just going to act like that didn't happen?" I clutch the steering wheel tightly.
My mouth turned into a firm line and I pulled to the rightest side of the road, easing into my brakes. I clutched the gear into park and crossed my arms, "Okay, what now?"

Enhancing Procurement Practices is organised around four main points: -overview and analysis of procurement principles, -practical approach to drafting of solicitation and contract documents, -conduct of procurement procedures, -overview of the e-procurement arena. Although the addressed procurement methods can be used on a wide scale, this book concentrates primarily on such cases when the subject of procurement is complex, or the solicited goods and services are relatively simple but the intended long-term relationship calls for a fairly conscious source selection. Project procurement, the most complicated form of buying civil engineering work, goods, and services, is thoroughly addressed. Beyond the structured overview and comparative analysis of terminology and principles, the book describes such new concepts as single-source preference for simultaneous procurements, dual-term frame contract for parallel suppliers, and the use of semi-consolidated contract documents. Effective utilisation of theories boils down - among others - to a consistent set of procurement-related terms, proven methodology for drafting comprehensive solicitation documents and contracts, and practical details of communication with offerors.

Going to college shouldn't mean a lifetime of paying off crushing loans.
I AM NOT A LOAN is calling on colleges to pledge to reduce student debt.
Latest News from the Campaign
October 22, 2014 by Latasha Myers
Many For-Profit College Companies Deliver Broken Promises and Failed Dreams
If you watch daytime or late-night TV, you've seen the slick, 30-second commercials that promise down-on-their-luck viewers a fairy godmother-like solution – a quick, affordable, college-level education that provides hands-on experience and positions students to land their dream job. If you want proof of the quality of these career education programs, the commercials continue, look no further than the myriad of success stories of their graduates.
Yesterday's Boston Globe article, "For-profit colleges get harsh grades by former students: Graduates complain of onerous debt, unmet promises about careers," paints a more realistic story of what actually happens to former students of these schools, such as:

Don't Understate What Low-Income Students Pay for College
Recent news reports have implied that elite colleges are a bargain for low-income students — that the financial aid awarded to them reduces the total price to a manageable amount, even for our nation's poorest students.
But these reports have missed one crucial point...

Where in the Pell Are They? U.Va. Can Be Selective Without Being Exclusive
High-achieving students from low-income backgrounds aren't fictitious characters from the Game of Thrones HBO series; they exist — and in much larger numbers than many elite institutions would have you believe. Too many of these institutions rely on their selective admissions requirements to explain why so few low-income students enroll in their college.
In fact, at a symposium we co-hosted this month in Charlottesville, Va., a senior administrator at the University of Virginia used this excuse while attempting to explain why Pell Grant recipients make up only 12 percent of undergraduates, even though about 42 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds without a college degree in the Commonwealth are from low-income or working-class family backgrounds.

Continue to Put Pressure on the Department of Education for a Strong Gainful Rule
With the public comment period for the proposed "gainful employment" regulations long closed, we have time to look back at what we've accomplished and see what work is still to be done.
With the help of borrowers, students, parents, and advocates from around the country, tens of thousands of comments were submitted to the U.S. Department of Education urging them to issue a stronger final "gainful employment" rule.

Burned by a Career-Ed Program: Real and Raw Student Stories
The U.S. Department of Education plans to release its final "gainful employment" rule in October 2014. The draft rule, circulated by the department earlier this year, proposed cutting off access to federal financial aid for career-education programs (many of which are at for-profit colleges) whose graduates have high student loan default rates or high levels of student loan debt relative to their incomes. It is essential that the department adopt a final rule with strong protections for students.
During the month of May we asked students to submit their stories as public comments on the department's draft "gainful employment" rule. Many of the student victims who have been exploited and defrauded by career-education programs offered compelling evidence of the need for stronger protections. Here's what some of them had to say:

Low-Income Students Deserve a Real 'CHANCE' at Affordable College
Each year millions of Americans depend on Pell Grants to help make college affordable. Research has shown that need-based grant aid, like Pell Grants, increases college enrollment among low- and moderate-income students. But with college costs skyrocketing over the last three decades, Pell Grants have lost much of their purchasing power. In the 1980s, Pell Grants covered 77 percent of the cost of college at a four-year public college for low-income students. Today that share has dropped significantly to only 31 percent of the cost.

First Come, Last Served
University Does Not Do Enough to Accommodate First-Generation Students
This blog was cross-posted from The Chicago Maroon, by Lynda Lopez
Recently, UChicago has shown an increased commitment to recruiting low-income students through initiatives such as QuestBridge and UChicago Promise. Fifty-one students in the Class of 2018 received full four-year scholarships through QuestBridge, the highest among all 35 partner colleges; 73 students in the Class of 2017 benefited from UChicago Promise, which includes a guarantee of no loans for Chicago residents who attended Chicago high schools and are admitted to the College.
All these initiatives are great, but what happens after these students arrive on campus? Many of them are also first-generation, meaning they are the first in their families to attend college.
Being a low-income, first-generation college student can be like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. As the daughter of immigrants with no college graduates in my family, I didn't have a good idea of what to do once I was here. I didn't know how to ask professors or TAs for help or how to pick the right classes. Everything was foreign to me.

Overcompensated and Underperforming
Originally posted on The Equity Line
What's more disturbing — that nine public college executives earned more than $1 million last year or that there appears to be little connection between president pay and college performance in serving students?
Of those nine executives, two lead institutions where the six-year graduation rate is far below the national average of 59 percent.
At the University of Houston, where President Renu Khator made $1.2 million last year, only 46.2 percent of students graduate in six years. While the University of Houston's graduation rate ticked up by only one-tenth of 1 percentage point between 2011 and 2012, Khator's total compensation increased by 75.3 percent.

Here's an interesting — and handy guide — i.materilise sizing references for each material. Because most of the 3D printing services have a combination of off-the-shelf industrial grade 3D printers and owns they have built or heavily modified themselves, producing a set of rough volume models for each of the services for each of the materials would be really handy. Note that some of the smaller sizes are determined as much by the limits of the post-processing tools needed for certain materials and finishes. Via Fabbaloo:
Bert: "Every material has its own 3D printing technique and therefor its own set of design specifications including the printing size. An important driver in your design process will be the size of your design. Each material has its own machine which has a limited building volume. This volume is the maximal 3D space an object can be, printed as one entity and is indicated on the material page and in the design guide of our materials. To allow an easy comparison between the different materials, we created an overview of printing sizes for plastics, metals and other materials."

ment theory—versions associated with the models of economists Arrow (1962), Nordhaus (1969), and Scherer (1972)—inventors, as a group, are implicitly assumed to be diverse, working on different and generally noncompeting things. Thus in the absence of redundant efforts that might occur if many groups worked on competing things, stronger patent protection results in a greater number of useful inventions.
Most articulations of the invention-inducement theory presume that an invention is used or sold by the firm that made the invention. However, Arrow (1962) and more recently Merges (1995) and Arora and others (1994) address the problem that an inventor has in selling an invention to someone else in the absence of legal property rights to it and have taken the position that strong property rights to an invention reduce the transaction costs of licensing it. Strong patents would then also serve the purpose of providing incentives to invent for parties who are limited in the extent to which they can use the invention themselves, by facilitating the sale of rights to an invention.
In most versions of the invention-inducement theory it is assumed, generally implicitly, that the social benefit of a particular invention is strictly its final use value; the social benefit of patent protection stems, therefore, from the additional invention induced by the prospect of a patent. And the social cost of a patent is the restriction on the use associated with the monopoly power lent by a patent. That formulation of the invention-inducement theory leads naturally to analysis of optimal patent ''strength,'' defined as duration (Nordhaus 1969; Scherer 1972), or breadth (Klemperer 1990), and the tradeoff between the amount of increased invention induced by greater patent strength and the increased costs to society associated with the stronger monopoly position of the patent holder (see also Gilbert and Shapiro 1990).
The issues of the consequences of greater patent duration or scope are more complicated if an invention is not only useful as is, but also provides the basis for second-generation inventions. Arrow especially called attention to the possibility that the principal use of some inventions is as input for further inventions (such as PCR, see Chapter 5). Van Dijk (1994) considers what he calls the height of a patent, by which he means the extent to which the patent controls later improvements and variations in the initial invention. Those considerations lead us to the development and commercialization theory, and prospect-development theory, which are discussed later.
We stress that the version of the invention-inducement theory that we have been considering up to now presumes that more inventive effort and more inventors mean more useful inventing. The theory takes on a different look if, instead, all inventors are assumed to be focused on the same set of paths to invention. This assumption gives rise to the "patent race models" of Loury (1979) and Dasgupta and Stiglitz (1980a) and, if the assumed common focus is on a broader but still limited "pool" of invention prospects, to the "overfishing" models of Barzel (1968) and Dasgupta and Stiglitz (1980b). Under either model, patents no
