The Orlando Magic hired Jacque Vaughn to be the team's new head coach John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com and Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel report. It ends an exhaustive search for Magic general manager Rob Hennigan and completes two of the three major franchise-shaping decisions the team had to make coming out of the 2012 season.
Vaughn has spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach with the Spurs. Both of those seasons, San Antonio finished with the best record in the Western Conference, reaching the Western Conference Finals last year. Vaughn also played 12 years in the NBA, including winning a championship with San Antonio in 2007.
Vaughn played the 2002-03 season with Orlando averaging 5.9 points and 2.9 assists per game backing up Darrell Armstrong.
"We are beyond excited to name Jacque Vaughn as our head coach," Hennigan said in a release. "As we navigated through our coaching search, we quickly saw that Jacque's spirit and leadership strengths made him the clear choice. We are confident that his diligence, attention to detail and communication style will help establish the bedrock of our culture moving forward. His commitment and passion to building a sustainable program will help steer our organization for years to come."
Vaughn is an inexperienced head coach, but the hope from the Magic is that his recent experience in the NBA will help him relate to his players and develop them. Orlando is heading toward a rebuild and so those relationships appeared to be at the forefront of the Magic's coaching search.
The other finalists were Philadelphia associate head coach Michael Curry, a former player and a one-year head coach in Detroit, and Phoenix director of player development Lindsey Hunter, a long-time point guard for Detroit but a guy with no coaching experience.
From those finalists alone, Orlando clearly wanted someone who will grow with the team and help establish the program Hennigan wants to build.
As Robbins put in his report, Vaughn took a similar career path as Avery Johnson, now the head coach for the Nets. Vaughn had a long playing career and then became a head coach under Gregg Popovich's tutelage. Like Johnson, Vaughn quickly rose the ranks and Vaughn split the assistant coaching duties with San Antonio's three other assistant coaches.
Vaughn was the Spurs head coach for Summer League and, as you can see from this reported from Jeff McDonald of Spurs Nation, Vaughn took that job seriously even if he was just wearing shorts. Kawhi leonard certainly seemed to be excited about Vaughn's work as the summer league team's head coach.
Vaughn will officially be introduced Monday at 2 p.m.

DULUTH - Business leaders are throwing their support behind Duluth's school levy and they're encouraging the community to do the same.Next month Duluthians will vote on whether to renew the existing levy as well as a slight increase in property taxes.
School officials say it would cost the average Duluth household about $4 more a month.
The Chamber says the levy would reduce class sizes, address the achievement gap and update technology and textbooks.
"We understand that our children's, our students success is our communities success," Duluth Chamber of Commerce President Dave Ross said. "If we are to compete on a national scale for talent we have to ensure that we have a strong education system here in Duluth."
Voters will face the two questions on November 5th.

She survived
Thirteen stab wounds, a broken neck: Enough to kill a woman less determined to live, to walk again, and ultimately to change the laws that failed to protect her from this savage assault.
|Tracey Motuzick, formerly Thurman, holds a photograph police took of her in Hartford Hospital in June 1983, four days after her estranged husband stabbed her 13 times and broke her neck. T.J. Kirkpatrick / Republican-American
TORRINGTON -- Twenty-five years later, Tracey Motuzick still remembers the twist of her estranged husband's dirty buck knife in her neck, and tears wet her cheeks.
She could not have imagined this life -- not the constant ache and disability from her injuries, not the fear still deep in her heart. But even as she cries, she wants women to pay attention, to learn the story of the attack she survived.

I saw your story in a "Cry For Help" for the first time today. My heart was broken as I saw the account of how you were so wrongfully victimized all those years ago, and continue to be so today due to the consequential circumstances of your ordeal! I will pray God sees you through the trials and sufferings you have had to endure at the hands of your abuser. My mother was victimized on many occasions years ago by my stepfather in similar fashion, although not nearly as severe as you have; she passed away in 1984. I have had a deep seated abhorrence, disdain, and loathing of men who abuse their wives or girlfriends ever since. I've been angry ever since that no one had the inherent sense of right and wrong to properly deal with her abuser! I grew up wanting to have my day of reckoning with him and give him the worst taste of his kind of abuse he could ever imagine; the years of thinking about it has haunted my dreams! I will never have that day because he died several years later himself after continuing to cause the same suffering to others. I promise you and all women my wife will always know me as her lover, protector, and defender; I've never thought once in my life it was appropriate to hit a woman! I fear God more than enough to keep me from being such a fool! Your continued well-being, blessings from God, and happiness will be in my prayers always! Thank you for your continued endeavors to champion women's domestic safety and well-being. May the Lord continue to keep you strong and courageous and may He be your strong tower in time of need! May God keep you always, and cause His face to shine upon you! "

I pray Ms. Thurman is able to forgive the inaction of the police officers who failed her so terribly that day. There are those who would say that the police and the city paid for their sins with a $2.3 million dollar judgement, ...I submit that NO AMOUNT OF MONEY could ever reimburse Tracey for the pain and suffering she endured that day, and will endure for the rest of her life. Personally, I hope a real man has in some manner stepped forward and given Tracey the gift of real affection and treated her the way ALL women deserve to be treated; with reverence, respect, dignity, and above all, ...undying affection.

Could low folic acid intake during pregnancy play a role in the development of childhood cancer?
Do infections or other exposures lead to chromosomal changes in utero found to be associated with childhood leukemia?
An international alliance of organizations conducting child health cohort studies—including the National Children's Study—may be able to answer these and other questions about rare childhood diseases, particularly about the etiology of childhood leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer.
Still in the planning stages, the International Childhood Cancer Cohort Consortium, or I4C, would pool information from 11 environmental health studies representing approximately 700,000 children, in hopes that together the data will shed light on how childhood cancer is associated with exposures such as birth weight, maternal folic acid intake, chemical exposures, and infections.
"The I4C is significant because it will allow scientists to look at very rare outcomes that have never been studied before. It has the potential to open new doors of research whose questions have never been answered," said Terry Dwyer, AO, MD, MPH, Director of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Dwyer was among the first involved in organizing the I4C while serving as a consultant at the National Children's Study Program Office in 2004.
The I4C would allow investigators to uncover associations between certain environmental influences and childhood cancer because of its longitudinal design and large sample size, which is required for these associations to be considered statistically meaningful.
Carol Kasten, MD, is Medical Officer and Geneticist at the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and a member of the I4C Steering Committee. "We know that chromosomal abnormalities associated with some childhood leukemias, called leukemogenic chromosomal translocations, are present at birth. We also know that childhood leukemia from these translocations may not develop for years," she said. "With its large sample size, the consortium can help answer questions like, 'What environmental events ultimately contribute to the development of these leukemias? How prevalent are these abnormalities in newborns in China? What about in developing countries?'"
Due to the rarity of childhood cancers, researchers generally have had to rely on case control retrospective studies in which data are obtained after an illness has developed. "Retrospective studies yield data that are considered less reliable, because parents may remember the child's early years differently than they would have if their child had remained healthy. The longitudinal design of the I4C will allow researchers to observe children as they develop, rather than depending on parental recall," Dr. Dwyer explained.
Independently, each cohort study examines the influences of environmental exposures on child health and development, beginning before or at birth. Some cohorts, such as the National Children's Study, are also designed to provide data before conception. Representing nations across four continents, the 11 participating I4C cohorts include:
A combined investigation of this size and scope requires sophisticated coordination and communication across cohorts, as well as systems to support the collection, management, and analysis of large and complex data. "Each individual cohort has its own measurements for collecting data but we've already found some to be the same across studies. Consortium members are currently analyzing other common measures, and exploring the best ways to organize all the data," explained Dr. Dwyer.
The I4C coalesced after researchers from the various cohorts met to discuss the feasibility of cross-cultural collaboration at a September 2005 workshop sponsored by the National Children's Study, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The I4C is led by a Steering Committee of principal investigators from the National Children's Study, the Danish National Birth Cohort, the China Family and Children Cohort Study, and the Tasmanian Infant Health Survey, as well as representatives from the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the NCI, and the EPA.
The I4C works in tandem with the National Children's Study International Interest Group (IIG), established in 2002 to encourage the international exchange of information about how the environment affects children. Co-led by the NICHD and the World Health Organization, the IIG is working to determine the feasibility of longitudinal cancer studies in developing nations and to create core protocols for international long-term cancer studies. Protocols are guidelines for a study's sampling, recruitment, and data collection activities.
I4C planners are currently developing their own protocols to test the concept and feasibility of the consortium and to analyze childhood cancer data for two hypotheses—how low maternal folic acid intake at conception is related to the development of childhood leukemia and whether infections or other exposures lead to the presence of chromosomal changes in utero found to be associated with childhood leukemia.
Once protocols are completed, biological samples and other information obtained from the active cohort studies—those studies whose data collection is under way or complete—will be evaluated. Consortium members will meet to discuss these analyses about the first two hypotheses at their next meeting in 2007.
"There is a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm for this collaboration across the cohorts. Working together, we can explore research areas that could never have been investigated in our individual studies alone," said Dr. Dwyer.
Questions or comments about the I4C can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The National Children's Study continues to move forward with planned activities that set the stage for full Study implementation. These activities include, but are not limited to, refinement of the Study protocol; further development of the information management system; creation of an electronic informed consent tool; and development of a focused recruitment and retention plan that includes activities for community outreach and engagement. Study stakeholders are providing essential input in the development of each of these tasks. For instance, recruitment and retention efforts are led by a working team of representatives from each of the seven Vanguard Centers and the Program Office, with input from the National Children's Study Federal Advisory Committee members and the Interagency Coordinating Committee.
The timeline for these activities, and the Study's progression into the recruitment phase, depends on the outcome of budget negotiations in Congress this summer and fall. If Congress approves adequate FY 2007 funding for the Study, planning activities will continue and the seven operating Vanguard Centers will begin preparing for recruitment to occur in about a year. Other implementation activities—the release of a Request For Proposals for further Study Centers, implementation of the information management system, and the development of a repository for stored samples—would soon follow.
If the National Children's Study does not receive the $69 million needed for continued operation in FY 2007, the Study would not continue on its current course and would cease operation. Currently, both the Senate and House Appropriations Committees are preparing to bring their budgets to the floor for consideration.
"The social and environmental context of people's lives is really important for health, health behavior, and related outcomes," said Dr. Barbara Entwisle, Director of the Carolina Population Center (CPC) at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and Principal Investigator of the National Children's Study Vanguard Center for Duplin County, North Carolina.
The Duplin County Vanguard Center is one of seven centers across the country that are setting up systems to support enrollment and data collection for the National Children's Study.
"With the National Children's Study, we have the opportunity to understand the biological mechanisms that translate contextual influences into health outcomes for children," said Dr. Entwisle, one of a large group of social scientists who, along with health and medical scientists, are interested in the Study. "This is the frontier of science. It's at the cutting edge." Of particular appeal is the Study's representative nature. Social as well as biomedical aspects are important to children's health, and the Study design allows both to be pursued with scientific rigor.
Duplin County is one of the 105 locations selected throughout the United States for the Study. Though rural and sparsely settled, it is home to one of the fastest-growing Hispanic populations in the country, many of whom are attracted by jobs in agriculture and in the hog and poultry processing industries. Duplin County is located in a part of North Carolina that is, and has been, in economic decline. It has higher-than-average poverty (almost 23% of Duplin County children were living in poverty in 2000).
These characteristics raise important health issues for children. "The Study provides a way to link health outcomes with social inequality, one of my longstanding interests," said Dr. Entwisle. Death rates for infants and children living in Duplin County are above the average for the state and the nation. Results from the Study might lead to effective ways to reduce these death rates, as well as to shed light on the health concerns of Hispanic families in Duplin.
After receiving her doctorate in sociology from Brown University, Dr. Entwisle held faculty positions at the University of Michigan and Dartmouth College. She is a social demographer with primary interests in social and biophysical contexts and their consequences for families and children. She has particular expertise in the measurement of community and neighborhood characteristics, including the biophysical environment. She has extensive survey experience, contributing to the design and implementation of longitudinal population-based surveys collecting social and health data in the U.S. and around the world. Her central role in the field of demography was recently recognized when she was elected President of the Population Association of America.
One of the questions she hopes the National Children's Study will answer is how neighborhoods matter for children—that is, ways in which neighborhoods that are integrated, cohesive, and willing to intervene on behalf of children make a difference for children's health and well-being. In social science, this concept is called neighborhood collective efficacy. If collective efficacy is beneficial to children, according to Dr. Entwisle, results of the Study might suggest policies and approaches that would help improve collective efficacy, and consequently, benefit children.
The National Children's Study Program Office and Coordinating Center are currently defining the segments within the seven active locations nationally where women will be recruited for the Study, pending funding availability. In Duplin County the process is aided by the staff at the CPC and Duplin County's Vanguard Center's partners at Duke University, Battelle Memorial Institute, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Getting these neighborhood boundaries right, with the help of county residents, is vital if questions about collective efficacy and other social science constructs are to be understood.
Two randomized, controlled clinical trials in the early 1990s showed that the B vitamin folic acid can prevent a large proportion of neural tube defects (NTDs).1, 2 These defects result when the neural tube—a groove in the embryo that gives rise to the brain and spinal cord—fails to close completely or correctly early in pregnancy. One such defect, spina bifida, is an incomplete closure of the spinal column; in its severest form, a portion of the spinal cord may protrude through the back. Another defect, encephalocele, results when one or more plates that make up the skull fail to seal.
Today, women with the possibility of becoming pregnant are advised to take 400 micrograms of folic acid every day. To further reduce the incidence of NTDs, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized optional, followed by mandatory, folic acid fortification of the country's flour and grain supply.
A new study in Pediatrics shows that folic acid may not only prevent NTDs but also reduce the severity of NTDs when they occur.3 For the National Birth Defects Prevention Network, researchers studied two cohorts of infants born between 1995 and 2001: 2,841 infants born with spina bifida and 638 infants born with encephalocele. The researchers estimated first-year survival rates across three folic acid fortification periods: pre-fortification, optional fortification, and mandatory fortification. Mandatory folic acid fortification coincided with improved first-year survival rates for infants with spina bifida (92.1 percent vs. 90.3 percent) and encephalocele (79.1 percent vs. 75.7 percent).
The International Childhood Cancer Cohort Consortium, of which the National Children's Study is a part, plans to examine the role of maternal folic acid intake through diet and supplementation, along with the role of variations or mutations in genes that affect how the body uses folic acid, in the development of childhood leukemia. This investigation can build on our understanding of folic acid by measuring actual folic acid intake among women as opposed to exposure to folic acid fortification, and it will look at health outcomes beyond infancy.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Malls as we knew them growing up (provided you are over the age of 15) are dying.
By January 2015, there will be hundreds upon hundreds of new store closures that spread across the United States like the black plague. The stalwarts of the mall, apparel chains such as Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Aeropostale (ARO), Gap (GPS) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) continue to shutter borderline profitable stores before rent expiration (and bring in a spinoff brand, for example Gap Kids, inside the mother store to cut costs) due to significant margin pressure brought on by Internet price discovery and the prominence of fast-fashion retailers H&M and Forever 21.
As more leases come up for renewal at these companies in the next three years, further lights will go dark. Keep in mind that this activity is occurring alongside a RadioShack (RSH) that is unlikely to be in business for much longer, a Sears (SHLD) undergoing a self-imposed slow liquidation, and a J.C. Penney (JCP) that is likely to announce a new round of store closures in 2015. While it's quite possible the next game-changing American business will be hatched from inside the walls of a defunct RadioShack, the mall itself is decaying. That is depressing.
However, all is not doom and gloom for the U.S. institution that is the mall. I expect malls to ultimately be reclaimed by the community, where a sprawling former Sears will serve as a small business incubator or job training site for the local college, a place to store cloud-supporting servers from IBM (IBM), or distribution centers for those retailers with same-day delivery ambitions. Heck, a J.C. Penney could be retrofitted into a hospital to cater to the influx of aging baby boomers that are bound to require treatment.
But for right now, such a mall evolution is starting in small increments, specifically the food court. Mall owners are reinventing food courts to include warmer lighting and seating areas, as well as healthier chains founded by people that have grown up watching the Food Network. The desire to "upscale the food court" is rooted in the mall's attempt thieve traffic from off-mall eateries that consumers are obsessed with, namely Chipotle
(CMG), Starbucks
(SBUX) and food trucks local to the market.
Here are a couple of items to know on the food court boom:
WATCH: More feature videos on TheStreet TV | More videos from Brian Sozzi
- On average, 7% of shoppers actually visit a mall solely for food. That suggests a meaningful opportunity for share gain on the part of malls with improved food options, decor, and marketing. Just think -- 93% of shoppers visiting the aforementioned casual dining institutions outside the mall and not interacting with the retail tenants.
- A food court could register about $700 in sales per square foot compared with $250 to $450 per square foot for an apparel retailer; the latter figure will continue to be squeezed from increasing online/mobile consumption and the resulting discounts offered by retailers to lure in traffic.
- A former 105,000 square foot Saks store in the Florida Mall is in the process of being converted into a giant food court, seating 1,400, or double the capacity of the existing food court. Now that is evolution, turning dead space into a true community common area.

5 Bathroom Remodeling Tips to Stay on a Budget
When you're remodeling a bathroom, you need to follow bathroom remodeling tips so that you can stay on a budget. Bathrooms can get expensive very quickly. If you're doing the remodel yourself, be prepared to uncover some things that you weren't prepared for. Often times, when homeowners dive into a bathroom remodel, they discover costly repairs that have to get fixed right away. This could be water damage behind the shower, faulty plumbing, or shoddy work by the previous homeowner.

Remodel the cabinets, don't replace them!
If you have wood cabinets in the bathroom but they aren't looking their best, consider remodeling them instead of doing a complete replacement. Bathroom cabinets can be extremely costly and replacing them will eat up the budget unless you consider an alternative solution. Remodeling bathroom cabinets is actually quite simple. To get started, you just need a sander, screwdriver, and a can of stain. Start by removing the cabinets from the base and take them to an environment that's okay to get messy. Sand each cabinet down to bare wood and you'll be able to apply a coat of stain. The stain should completely restore the cabinets and they may even look brand new again.
Check the drywall first
Showers and baths can get water damage quite easily. The most prominent spot for water damage in a bathroom is within the drywall. It's a good idea to dive into this portion of the remodel first. If there is any water damage discovered, you can budget yourself for the rest of remodel appropriately. If drywall replacement is necessary, be sure to use water resistant drywall instead of the standard stuff. It will last much longer and it's specifically made for bathrooms.
Consider a countertop enhancer
With all of the DIY products on the market today, finding a countertop enhancer should be simple. Local hardware stores usually carry them and they can be a sufficient option when you don't have the money to replace the counters. Countertop enhancers are generally a gel paint that can be applied on top of a countertop. They are typically sold in spray cans and the solution is quite easy to apply. Simply spray it on evenly and wait for the solution to dry. Some of the countertop enhancers are designed to replicate granite. They actually add texture and shine to the counter that you wouldn't expect from a simple spray on product.
Linoleum instead of tile
Linoleums todays are actually quite attractive. There are even some linoleum floors that are manufactured to replicate hardwood flooring. If you can find high quality linoleum like this, it's a much cheaper option than purchasing tile. Linoleums are great in bathrooms because they're water resistant, durable, and long-lasting.
Use an inexpensive tile for the shower walls
Tile can look great when used for shower walls. However, splurging and spending too much money on the tile happens far too often. Inexpensive tiles will look just fine, don't overspend and break the bank. You can check your local hardware store for affordable tile options.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Quick Facts
Name: Leahi (Diamond Head State Monument)
What: Iconic state monument with a panoramic view of Honolulu
Where: Five minutes east of Waikiki
More Info: Open 6am to 6pm, $1 for walk-ins, $5 for cars
The iconic silhouette of Diamond Head State Monument sits along the Honolulu skyline just beyond Waikiki. This 760-foot tuff crater is one of Hawaii's most famous landmarks.
Known as Leahi (brow of the tuna) in Hawaiian, the crater was named Diamond Head by 19th century British sailors who thought they discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes. These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that had no value.
Formed more than 100,000 years ago, the crater was used as a strategic military lookout beginning in the early 1900's and was named a National Natural Landmark in 1968. Today, Diamond Head is a popular hiking destination with panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu's south shore.
It only takes a short drive or bus ride to get to Diamond Head Crater from Waikiki. This moderately challenging trail includes two sets of stairs, totaling 175 steps, as well as dark, underground tunnels and old military bunkers that require a flashlight. The stunning views that greet you at the top of Diamond Head are well worth the effort.
If you plan to hike on Saturday morning, don't forget to stop by the Kapiolani Community College Farmer's Market — Oahu's premier farmers market showcasing locally grown food and produce — across the street from the monument entrance on Monsarrat Avenue. In fact, there are a few notable cafes and restaurants lining Monsarrat that will make for a great pre or post Diamond Head meal.

Don't forget about the deals you can get purchasing equipment and other business essentials on eBay. The fastest-growing category on eBay in 2001, for example, was office chairs. You can buy just about anything you need for your business from other businesses on eBay. Copy paper? Check. Pens? Check. Wireless networking gear? Check. Hortatsos takes full advantage by purchasing inkjet supplies and PCs. And those are just office-related items. Everything from used restaurant equipment to pool tables are up there, too.
As a business buyer, you can take full advantage of eBay's partnerships with companies like IBM and Palm, which shuffle overstock and refurbs onto the site. The deals usually aren't stunningly cheap, but you can save a bit over buying through traditional channels. Prince advises buyers to shop smart and walk away if the item isn't in their price range. "I wouldn't get too attached to a laser printer," he says. "It's not like finding your original baby blanket you absolutely have to have." As always, be aware of limited warranty details and the inclusion (or exclusion) of extras like documentation and software.
In the rocky but rustic Canadian Shield region, old harnesses, horns and skulls are scarce. That's why sometimes Dunlop puts a twist on buying for her business on eBay. She shops for items that are hard to find in her neck of the woods, like Western items, which are popular as cabin decor. Rare albums and European items are also on her eBay shopping list. Those products end up fulfilling local customer demand in her brick-and-mortar store.
But eBay is not all paradise. The site usually runs as it's supposed to, but that just makes the occasional wrench in the works more noticeable. A focus on creating reliable technology pretty much cleaned that problem up. One place to keep tabs on eBay problems is at the strongly opinionated Auction Guild.
One current ghost haunting eBay is auction fraud. EBay brass reports only a fraction of 1 percent of auctions is fraudulent. But that still works out to thousands of auctions. Research and common sense may be the best solution to this problem. "Sellers wear their reputations on their sleeves," says Glazier. He encourages buyers to read the feedback left by other eBay users, particularly the negatives. For big-ticket items, you can protect yourself by using an escrow service. The fee is worth the peace of mind.
On the other side of the transaction, Prince sees that most sellers are wise to buyer fraud and set policies from the start to thwart it. Hortatsos has conducted over 50,000 eBay sunglasses auctions and encountered intentional buyer fraud only once. Dunlop, who runs up to 500 auctions per day, has had a similarly smooth experience.
Many eBay users, particularly sellers who have been with the site since its early days, find it too cluttered in its current incarnation. The arrival of large, preferred-partner corporations has also been a sore spot. Big companies often view eBay as a way to reach the smaller businesses that fall under their sales radar. That strategy works for both sides. Hortatsos has been with eBay for four years and takes a practical view of the situation. "I view that as a natural progression of the business," he says. "If they're selling what I'm selling, the buyers will come to us in the end because of the personal service."
EBay is a unique e-commerce community. Opportunities abound on both sides of the auction transaction. The site will continue to experience growing pains, but eBay insists it won't lose sight of the people who fueled its rise. "It's the small entrepreneur who is really the spark that ignites the market and builds the community," says Herr. So if you haven't visited eBay lately, surf on over. It won't fit everybody's business plan, but you just might catch yourself exclaiming "Sold to the highest bidder!"
Originally announced last summer, the program has had delays in getting off the ground. Details of the program were slim at press time, but pharmacy, dental and vision coverage wil be included. Qualified entrepreneurs should be able to insure their families as well. As far as we know, you won't have to bid on it.

Tex-Mex | Houston marketing forces still on Santa Anna's trail
Posted By John Turnbull On 2 February 2006 @ 22:03 In Regions | 1 Comment
[1]Houston | A transparent effort to add a patina of history to the newest team in Major League Soccer appears to have misfired. Calling on a European, especially German, tradition of including a year of founding in the team name (e.g., Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Hannover 96 and so on), soccer officials and civic boosters on Jan 25 announced that the name of the club would be Houston 1836 [2]. In choosing this title for the former San Jose Earthquakes, organizers have been deliberately provocative. The date in names of European clubs points to a neutral, historical fact that all supporters can recognize; the 1836 date, however, recalls the contentious origin of Texas in an Anglo-driven secession from Mexico, sealed that year in the Mexican army's defeat at the Battle of San Jacinto [3]. The date has nothing to do with soccer.
Writing in the Houston Chronicle, University of Houston history professor Raúl Ramos says that the link to secession is inescapable [1].
Initially seen as economic boosters, Anglo American immigrants brought slavery and failed to keep contracts made with state officials. For Mexicans, Texas secession started the process of American conquest culminating in the invasion of Mexico in 1846 and the loss of almost half its territory. Few would disagree that Texas independence was an important chapter in the imperial story of American Manifest Destiny.
"This is a team for Houston," counters team president Oliver Luck. "If you live in Houston you must like it here [4]." Fallacious reasoning aside, it must seem especially hurtful to Latinos that the sport with which they closely identify—fútbol—is being co-opted by Anglos. The sport's popularity in Houston has been achieved, of late, through large crowds at friendly matches involving Mexico and at the InterLiga tournament, which selects Mexican sides for the Copa Libertadores. The tradition of soccer in the Houston area, as in much of the United States, demonstrates influence from abroad. The first professional outdoor soccer team in the region, the Houston Stars of the United Soccer Association, was actually a summer-league version of Bangu Atlético Clube of Brazil [5].
Perhaps a more appropriate name for the new Houston team would have been Gatos or Toros, names in the original selection pool. Or Houston 2006, an honest choice and signifying a fresh start.
Update: On "considering the input from the Hispanic community [6]," a name change for Houston 1836 appears to be a done deal, according to the Houston Chronicle. Suggestions that the side might choose "Lone Star" as its new name, however, have been met brusquely by Lone Star Sports and Entertainment, marketing arm for the National Football League's Houston Texans and a local promoter for international soccer. (See Mar 6 [7] for more on the name change.)

#1 Comment By Gavin Willacy On 10 February 2006 @ 12:54
Yet another bizarre and seemingly foolish name choice for an MLS team—as seen from this side of the pond. I assume the choice of a number after the name was precisely to avoid teaming with either Anglos or Latinos as both can pronounce the name/date in their own tongue. I am still getting over the embarrassment of Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas. GW, Bengeo, England.

In the past week or so I've discovered a few new (to me) online magazines. Sweet Paul magazine has been around for a while, but I've only just hear of it. I am now a bit obsessed with Lynda White's ceramics, which are featured in the newest issue. Also, the recipes look pretty amazing - I'm a big fan of linguine and clams.SisterMAG via Blog Brunch. SisterMAG is chock full of content! I've got to go back and spend some time reading through it. This magazine is created by two sisters (and a bunch of interesting collaborators) and covers topics a wide range of topics including: careers, technology, trends, traveling, and DIY projects. It's a magazine for the modern, independent woman.

The EPA has released load allocations for the primary pollutants that cause oxygen-depleted "dead zones" in the deeper waters of the Rappahannock and the mainstem Chesapeake Bay. These allocations are part of a Bay-wide pollution diet called a TMDL or "Total Maximum Daily Load".
The Commonwealth of Virginia is being required by EPA to develop plans in each of its Chesapeake river basins to reduce its loadings of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment to these levels by 2025.
For the Rappahannock, meeting the nitrogen reduction goals will present the greatest challenge. Nitrogen and phosphorous enter the river from a variety of sources, including fertilizer, animal wastes, airborne deposition, stormwater runoff, and wastewater discharges. The basinwide nitrogen load allocation is 5.84 million pounds per year.
For phosphorous, the load allocation is 9.0 million pounds per year.
The graphs below present actual monitoring data for both nutrients for the period 1988 to 2008. Much of the year-to-year variability is associated with rainfall levels, with rainy years generating greater loadings.
Of particular interest is the 10-year rolling average, which gives a better indication of long terms trends than individual year data.

Have your pencil and scorecard ready.
Oakmont, which has hosted eight U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships, is the one in suburban Pittsburgh famous for Church Pew bunkers and fans jeering Jack Nicklaus when he defeated Arnold Palmer in the 1962 U.S. Open, Nicklaus' first major title.
Oakland Hills, which has hosted six U.S. Opens, three PGAs and a Ryder Cup, is the one in suburban Detroit.
Oak Meadows, where Ben Hogan won the 1941 Chicago Open, is the one in west suburban Addison that floods regularly and lost its majestic clubhouse to lightning.
The one that matters this week is Oak Hill, which has hosted three U.S. Opens, two PGAs and a Ryder Cup. It's the one in suburban Rochester, N.Y., where Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and the rest of the gang will tee it up Thursday in the 95th PGA Championship.
The PGA is the least appreciated major for good reason. The Masters is a rite of spring. The U.S. Open is our national championship. The British Open is the world's championship.
That said, the PGA still counts very much. Just ask Nicklaus, who won five of his 18 majors at PGAs. Or Woods, who has four PGAs among his 14 majors.
Or Mickelson, who's coming off his fifth major victory at Muirfield. A sixth major would move him into a tie for ninth among all-time major winners since the Masters began in 1934.
And some people think Mickelson has the stuff to become the first player to win back-to-back majors since Padraig Harrington won the British Open and PGA in 2008.
''If Mickelson is putting well, I don't think you can beat him,'' said Lee Trevino, who won the 1968 U.S. Open at Oak Hill.
Mickelson, Woods and many long hitters will keep the driver in the bag most of the day, if they put it in the bag at all. Like Merion and Muirfield in this year of classic major venues, Oak Hill isn't so much about length as it is about accuracy, shotmaking and avoiding mistakes.
''The beauty of major championships this year is how par has been the standard,'' said Oak Hill's longtime head pro, Craig Harmon, whose brother, Butch, is Mickelson's swing coach. ''I would say most of the players won't use a driver more than half the time. I would be shocked if someone hit seven drivers at Oak Hill.''
Like Merion, Oak Hill has some rugged finishing holes. Although it's listed at a manageable 7,163 yards, 1,000 of those yards come on its final two par-4s, the 509-yard 17th and the 497-yard 18th.
The 598-yard 13th and the 323-yard 14th, a drivable par-4, could bring risk-reward drama if players are aggressive. And missing the narrow green at the 181-yard 15th often will come with a hefty penalty.
''I love Oak Hill,'' said Nicklaus, who won his final PGA there in 1980. ''It's a good test, a wonderful golf course. Nobody has ever really chewed it apart, and it's one you've got to play smart on. You've got to control your ball and you also have to putt because the greens are not easy greens.''
Mix in major-championship nerves, and Oak Hill is likely to be a good stage for drama.
''That finish is as tough as any you'll ever see,'' Trevino said. ''A guy better have a good lead if he's coughing and leaking a little oil, or he'd better have a hell of a nerve.''

Añejo Blanco is Havana Club's answer to Bacardi's Superior. Both are aged for at least one year and are crystal clear white rums. On paper, they are identical offerings. But there's far more to these brands than most people realise.
Bacardi and Havana Club are bitter rivals, both being founded in Cuba in 1862 and 1878 respectively. After sharing the Cuban market together for over 80 years, both companies were changed forever by the Cuban Revolution, in very different ways. Bacardi was smart enough to move most of its assets (including its trademarks) out of Cuba prior to the revolution, and although they lost their Cuban assets, the company was able to move production offshore and maintain its brand.
Havana Club however was nationalised by the government and the Arechabala family (founders) fled to Spain and later the United States. Havana Club continued to be produced in Cuba, and in 1994 was released to the international market, under a 50/50 joint venture with French beverage company Pernod Ricard. A further twist of the saga resulted from the Arechabala family selling the Havana Club trademark in the US to Bacardi. This resulted in both companies spending 15 years between 1997 and 2012 in various courts fighting over the trademark.
Due to the US trade emargo on Cuba, Bacardi does not have to compete with Havana Club in the US. However with relations improving, most commentators see a time in the not-to-distant future where the embargo will be removed. Bacardi is worried – very worried – this will result in a considerable loss of market share. Hence, it will do everything it can to reduce the impact.
It's hard not to agree that Havana Club's rums are generally of a higher quality than their Bacardi counterparts, at least for their commonly produced rums. This is probably a result of Bacardi having an enormous market share, which at least in the case of Superior, gives the impression of a highly mass produced product.
Añejo Blanco does not give this impression. Even when highly dilluted with a strong mixer, there is an obvious taste difference. In simple terms, it just tastes more like a rum, rather than a generic filtered white spirit. For this reason, we consider Añejo Blanco to be a mid-range white rum, and Superior to be a basic white rum.
Since the release of Havana Club Añejo 3 Años (3 year old white rum) in Australia, Añejo Blanco is becoming increasingly harder to buy, even in major retailers such as Dan Murphys.
Distilled at the Havana Club Distillery, Havana Cuba. 37.5% ABV. Retail Price $34.90 (Dan Murphy's).

When I press down on the brake pedal I feel a vibration on my foot. The vibration stops just before the car stops and the car stops just fine. What might be causing this vibration?
1997 Saturn SW2
Saturn Q&AAsk Your Question
1997 Saturn SW2 Question: Brake problem/question
Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, May 06, 2009, 09:25Master
This is normally from warped front rotors, which means you will likely need to have the front pads and rotors replaced. It is important to have the wheel bearings and suspension checked as well, as these can cause vibrations too.
Replymelraymond, May 07, 2009, 15:50Rookie
I had my rear breaks completely replaced in Jan. 2007 (new pads, shoes, rotors & cylinders) and in July 07 the front breaks were replaced. Should I be having problems with the breaks only after 2 years? I only put on the car, approximately 8,000 miles a year.
Answer #2lubi570 April 20, 2010, 17:30Rookie
These cars have a pulsating brake system, that under certain conditions like wet road and slippery conditions, will assist your wheels to lock up evenly so not to skid easily. This is the way the system operates. as long as it is not severe, and should be barely be noticeable.
Answer #3Visitor, February 04, 2011, 09:46
Typical warped front rotors...from an improper type of shoes...improper installation over a rotor than was not turned. Could have happened when driving down a step grade and driver kept his foot on the brakes !!!

Nintendo Drops Price Of Super Mario Galaxy 2 And Wii Sports ResortBy Ishaan . September 6, 2013 . 8:30am
Nintendo of America are lowering the price on three of their Wii games—Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Wii Sports Resort.
Nintendo of America are lowering the price on three of their Wii games—Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Wii Sports Resort.
Nintendo of America will also continue to sell a standard Wii bundled with Mario Kart Wii.
The holiday effect is very evident in this week's top-20 chart, which depicts a number of popular games seeing a boost in sales.
You'll find the usual suspects on 2010′s best-selling game list.
And Tomodachi Collection and God Eater were the best-selling new franchises for the year.
Nintendo's Super Guide feature was almost cut from New Super Mario Bros. Wii due to scheduling constraints.
Mario, of course. Numbers 2, 9, and 10 may surprise you though.
Final Fantasy XII was #10 on the list. The others are more obvious.
Yes, they're coming to North America, too, albeit with a few differences. Oh, and Nintendo of America confirmed the FlingSmash + Wii Remote Plus bundle as well.
The Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association picked New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Heavy Rain as some of the top video games in Japan.
New Super Mario Bros., the Nintendo DS game, jumps back on the top 10 chart.
Pokémon HeartGold/Soulsilver, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii were the sales highlights of Nintendo's first fiscal quarter.
Back in the days of the NES, Nintendo toured the country with now collectible Nintendo World Championship cartridges. This summer, Nintendo is doing something similar for Wii.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is selling slowest in Europe, and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata pointed out why in the company's investor briefing.
Satoru Iwata believes that the Japanese audience tends to be overwhelmed by the free-form exploration in 3D Mario worlds.

It's London's turn again. Fashion Week hits us with it's labels revealing their latest collections. I will avoid the eco/ethical take on all this glamour -the cyclic disposable consumption, you've heard it all before, except to say I am glad Ecoluxe has become an established part of the scene and Hooray! I am a part of it this season. It's like Esthetica, an exhibition of eco/ethical fashion and accessories, but more aimed at the luxury end. September 2011 is it's third show and its even bigger than the last times with around 45 exhibitors, actress and eco campaigner Donna Air opening it, and many partners and sponsors such as Melvita (organic beauty products) and Earth Hairdressing teaming up to give free mini pampering sessions. I've got to get back to preparing my shibori clothes and textiles but here is a sneak preview of a few of my favourites who will be exhibiting. I am not going to harp on about their green credentials, check out the websites for more details, simply enjoy them for the wonderful designers they are.
The two directors and organisers of Ecoluxe are very talented designers. Stamo makes incredibly detailed perfectly made sculptural like garments, mostly evening dresses. This is a very long, very perfectly made dress, the pink showing through slits at the sides.
Elena Garcia's dresses are just so beautiful as I have mentioned before in another article so just one image this time.
Lucy Tammam makes beautiful wedding dresses and fashion with a hint of the past giving them a really classic but modern feel. The peace silk she uses means they are often a fabulous off white colour that is simply gorgeous. Here's one I shall be wearing if I get married again.
My favourite shoe designer is possibly Hetty Rose so I'm really looking forward to gazing across at her creations at Ecoluxe, I hope our stands are close. The shoes are made with antique fabrics, usually kimono fabric and are simply stunning and feminine, what a wonderful combination. If I do really well I think I may buy a pair of her shoes.
And finally, I will be at Ecoluxe so here is one of mine! I am originally a shibori textile artist so the dyeing is a really special part of my clothes.
Ecoluxe is taking place during London Fashion Week at the lovely Kingsway Hall Hotel, 66 Great Queen St, Covent Garden, London, WC2B 5BX on Sunday 18th Sept 12.30-8pm & Monday 19th Sept 9am-8pm, do join us!

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: FORT WORTH—American Eagle Airlines, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, is replacing all of its ATR turboprop aircraft operating from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Fourteen markets throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas will have all-jet service beginning Jan. 31.
The airline will operate the daily flights with a combination of 37-, 44- and 50-seat jets.
"We are pleased to once again provide jet service to all Eagle destinations from our hub in Dallas/Fort Worth," said managing director Gary Foss in a prepared statement. "We know our customers will enjoy the comfortable, quiet ride of these Embraer jets, enhancing their overall travel experience."
These are the cities served from Dallas/Fort Worth that will switch to all-jet service on Jan. 31:
Destination Daily Departures
College Station, Texas 3
Fort Smith, Ark. 4
Joplin, Mo. 2
Killeen, Texas 9
Lawton, Okla. 5

AMR Corporation, and certain of its United States-based subsidiaries, including American Airlines, Inc. and AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, on Nov. 29 filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

|Home Clinical Services Quality and Patient Safety Healthcare Quality Core Measures
What are Core Measures?
Core Measures is one way to compare the quality of care that hospitals give. Core measures set national standards of care in five distinct categories, and hospitals are then measured on how often they provide recommended treatments known to get the best results for patients with certain medical conditions or surgical procedures. The measures are based on scientific evidence, and health care experts and researchers are constantly evaluating the evidence to make sure that the measures and guidelines are kept up-to-date.
The four Core Measures categories measured here at Mount Auburn Hospital include:
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) - A heart attack (also called AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These measures show some of the standards of care provided, if appropriate, for most adults who have had a heart attack.
Heart Failure - Heart Failure is a weakening of the heart's pumping power. With heart failure, your body doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrients to meet its needs. These measures show some of the standards of care provided for most adults with heart failure.
Pneumonia - Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that causes difficulty breathing, fever, cough and fatigue. These measures show some of the recommended treatments for pneumonia.
Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) - Hospitals can reduce the risk of wound infection after surgery by making sure patients get the right medicines at the right time on the day of their surgery. These measures show some of the standards of care.

One of the most significant problems in the world now is that of economic inequality, and the social problems it produces. And the most damaging impact may be in developed nations such as the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. in particular has the greatest gap in wealth among all developed nations, and the problem it is causing is becoming more apparent with each passing day.
During the recession in the U.S., at least 6 million people have lost their jobs; 25 million are underemployed. Eight trillion dollars of middle class wealth has been destroyed in the housing collapse. One out of eight mortgage holders owe more money on their home than it is worth. Fifty million people live at the poverty level. One of out of 8 people are on food stamps. One out of 2 children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives.
But not all people have suffered equally.
The United States is the most economically stratified society in the western world. As The Wall Street Journal reported, a recent study found that the top .01% or 14,000 American families hold 22.2% of wealth, and the bottom 90%, or over 133 million families, just 4% of the nation's wealth. The U.S. Census Bureau and the World Wealth Report 2010 both report increases for the top 5% of households even during the current recession. Based on Internal Revenue Service figures, the richest 1% has tripled their cut of America's income pie in one generation.
