According to Siemens, cities that performed best were the ones that have comprehensive sustainability plans that encompass multiple green initiatives including transportation, land use, energy use, and water use. The top 10 cities are:
1. San Francisco
2. Vancouver, British Columbia
3. New York
4. Seattle
5. Denver
6. Boston
7. Los Angeles
8. Washington, D.C.
9. Toronto
10. Minneapolis
In addressing the results, Alison Taylor, chief sustainability officer for the Americas for Siemens Corp., says, "city budgets are as tight as they have ever been, but mayors are leading the charge around making their cities more sustainable because they know they can't afford to push these decisions off until tomorrow." In addition, Eric Spiegel, president and CEO of Siemens Corp. adds, "Despite the fact that we do not have a federal climate policy in the United States—and no federal carbon standard—21 of the 27 cities in the index have already set their own carbon reduction targets."
Within the nine categories, the following cities took top marks:
1. Vancouver

5 of the Weirdest Ways to Die
Subscribe to our newsletter
1. Too much of a good thing - Water Intoxication
In June of 2007 Jennifer Lea Strange joined a short list of people who drank themselves to death with water when she fatally consumed an overdose of H2O during a radio contest called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii". The young wife and mother agreed to drink as much water as possible as part of the contest in order to win a Wii game player for her family. Contestants competed to see who could go the longest without stopping to urinate. After the contest Strange collapsed and died resulting in a civil lawsuit against the radio station. Water intoxication which is also known as hyper-hydration can cause a fatal disturbance in the brain when the electrolytes in the body are thrown off their normal balance. Other famous deaths from water intoxication include artist Andy Warhol whose family claimed he was given too many fluids following gallbladder surgery in 1987.
2. Jumping into a Volcano
In 430 BC Empedocles a Greek philosopher who is best known being the originator of the cosmogenic theory of the four classic elements threw himself into the very active Mount Etna either to convince his followers, he was a god, or because he believed himself to be immortal. He might also have thought he would be reincarnated. The volcano put a quick end to any more hypotheses on his part.
3. Laughter isn't always the best medicine
In 1599 when Burman king Nanda Bayin was informed by a visiting Italian merchant that Venice was without a king and therefore a free state he started to laugh. Unfortunately, for him he couldn't stop laughing. His death was more than likely a result of brain hemorrhage brought on by the strain of his giggle fit. Thomas Urguhart a Scottish aristocrat and diplomat is said to have died in the same manner in 1660 after hearing that Charles II had been made king.
4. What a way to go - Death by Overeating
After drinking champagne and consuming a meal of lobster, smoked herring, caviar, sauerkraut, and over a dozen servings of a favorite dessert Swedish king Adolf Frederick understandably complained he didn't feel well. He died a few hours later. Sadly, Adolf's favorite pastimes as ruler had been to make snuff boxes and not much else. He's therefore remembered only as "the king who ate himself to death" in his own homeland.
5. A great demonstration - Lawyer proves his case by killing himself
In 1871 while representing a defendant in a murder case lawyer Clement Vallandigham a United States Congressman and one time political opponent of Abraham Lincoln wanted to prove the supposed murder weapon could have accidentally been fired by the victim. Taking the gun from evidence Vallandigham tried to demonstrate to the jury how the victim might have shot himself. His mistake was in not checking to see if the gun was loaded. Just as Vallandigham had speculated the firearm discharged and just as he'd conjectured the result was a mortal wound. On an upbeat note at least the defendant was acquitted.

Cauliflower Crust Grilled Cheese
May 16, 2014
Don't worry people, I'm going to cauliflower crust rehab in a day or so.
They say the first step in solving a problem is to admit that you have a problem.
So, here it goes: "Hello, my name is Mike and I'm a cauliflower crust addict"
"Hello Mike"
"Over a year ago I've first tried cauliflower crust and since then I've been making it at least twice a week. It started out with pizza, then it was calzone, hot pockets, breadsticks and stromboli. I can't seem to stop. I need help!"
Seriously though, when I made the cauli crust stromboli (about a month ago), I thought that was the end of my experiments with cauliflower crust.
Apparently not.
But before we move on, let me say this: If you're sick and tired of this cauli crust thing, feel free to leave. It's okay, we can still be friends (or at least I'll pretend to be your friend...)
If, instead, you're willing to cope with my cauliflower madness in all its psychotic glory, then I can show you what I believe is one of my biggest achievement with cauliflower crust.
I made cauliflower crust grilled cheese! BOOM!
At its base, grilled cheese is one of the most simple things ever. Bread, butter and cheese.
The basic steps are: butter the bread, place the slice into a heated skillet, sprinkle the cheese, top with another bread slice and cook until golden brown on both sides and cheese is oozing out.
In order to forge a healthier grilled cheese, we need to make some uh-mazing cauliflower crust slices of bread. A bit of work, but totally worth it.
It starts with the usual procedure.
Ricing the cauliflower, cooking it and squeezing out as much moisture as possible (I know, this part sucks!).
Now comes the "fun" part, aka making the cauliflower crust slices of bread (and I totally agree with you, this a very lame definition of fun!)
I like my bread to be squared, which is what I went for, but feel free to use you imagination. Rectangles, rounds, oval....endless possibilities.
Let them cool and then you're pretty much ready to make your grilled cheese.
I have a confession to make, I got a lil carried away with the cheese.
Really, you don't need to go overboard like I did; sometimes less is more.
But if you do get carried away, don't worry, you're eating two full servings of cauliflower with each grilled cheese. That alone justifies using extra cheese.
Print this recipe!
Makes 2 grilled cheese sandwiches
Cauliflower crust "bread" slices
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets (should yield 3 cups of cauliflower rice)
1 free-range organic egg, lightly beaten
½ cup / 1.7 oz / 50 gr shredded mozzarella cheese
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Grilled cheese
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
⅓ cup / 3 oz / 85 gr sharp cheddar cheese, grated/shredded, room temperature
Cauliflower crust "bread" slices
Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally grease it with olive oil. Set aside.
In a food processor rice the cauliflower florets (it should be evenly chopped but not completely pulverized).
Transfer cauliflower rice (about 3 cups) to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 8 minutes, until cooked.
Place the cauliflower rice in a tea towel and twist it to squeeze as much moisture as you can (I usually squeeze out over a cup of liquid). This is very important. The cauliflower rice needs to be dry, otherwise you'll end up with mushy dough, impossible to use as slices of bread.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl, add egg, mozzarella, salt, pepper and mix well.
Spread cauliflower mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape into 4 squares.
Place in the oven and bake for about 16 minutes until golden.
Remove and let cool 10 minutes before peeling them off the parchment paper (be careful not to break them!)
Assemble cauliflower crust grilled cheese
Heat a pan over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of cauliflower crust bread (preferably the top part).
Place one slice of bread in the pan, buttered side down, sprinkle with the cheese and top with the remaining slice of cauliflower crust bread, buttered side up.
Turn the heat down a notch and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes.
Gently flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 to 4 minutes.

Thanks Matt, I am myself a huge fan of your blog as well!Delete
Please, please, please don't go into cauliflower crust rehab!!! Grilled cheese is one of the things I miss the most and it never even occurred to me to try a remake - looks perfect for the rainy weekend we're having!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ok, ok, ok since you insist I will not go into cauli crust rehab...but if I get into trouble I'm expecting you to come to my rescue!Delete
- AnonymousMay 16, 2014 at 6:54 PM
Looks great but can I steam the califlower instead of using a microwave?ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely. Take a look into the comment section of the Cauliflower Crust Calzone recipe, many have succeed making cauliflower crust by steaming the cauli rice!Delete
I am not a huge fan of bread - but cauliflower crust bread is pure GENIUS!!! Mike, please don't curb your addiction yet - keep em coming! I have one question - any suggestions on what would be a good sub for that 1/2 cup of mozz? I've used coconut oil and ground flax - but would love a fluffier texture - like yours...ReplyDeleteReplies
Have you tried whipped flax eggs? It should work pretty well!Delete
Hi Mike, you did it again, another great cauliflower recipe. I bet this is delicious!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is delicious Cheri and thanks for stopping by!Delete
Wow!! The cauliflower slices look perfect!!!!ReplyDelete
I have to try them!!!!Replies
If you do try them let me know how you like 'em!Delete
Dude! This looks incredible. I do agree that you have a cauliflower crust problem...but that's a good problem to have. Every time I see one of your cauliflower crust posts, I am inspired to try it out. I think I want to try the pizza crust first...it looks so amazing!! Nice job, wolfie, nice job!ReplyDeleteReplies
You have to try cauli crust pizza, it's life changing. For real!Delete
Do you know how thick "slices" or pizza "crust" can be made without being too soft or loosing form/ taste?ReplyDeleteReplies
As thick as you like, but you need to adjust cooking time accordingly!Delete
I just discovered your blog today, thanks to Lauren at Oatmeal With A Fork. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, and even though I bake bread, I really don't like bread, so this recipe sounds absolutely fantastic. And thank you for including nutrition information. When it's not listed, I have to figure it out myself before I can consider making a recipe. With this recipe I can just do it. I can hardly wait to see what else you have on your site.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so happy you've found my blog. So I guess I have to thank you to Lauren for that! :)Delete
Love cauliflower with cheese sauce and this takes that love to a whole new level. Can't describe how good that cheese looks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Caroline!Delete
Whoa! This recipe kind of blew my mind. Must send this along to my celiac sister, she would love to recreate this. Great recipe! Very inventive :) Nice photos too!ReplyDelete
Hi Mike, OMG... this is soooo inviting. May I have some please? :))ReplyDelete
You're an excellent chef and photographer. 2 thumbs up for you.
Best regards.
I I have a question, do you add water to the cauliflower rice before putting it in the microwave, or do you just microwave it as is?ReplyDelete
This recipe is amazing!! It takes a little bit of work, but totally worth it! I posted on my website (http://ana-garcia.healthcoach.integrativenutrition.com/cauliflower-crust-grilled-cheese). Hope you are ok with that!ReplyDelete
I stumbled on this from a friend on Facebook and told my hubby to make it for our anniversary this Monday. :) Both of us have the same question, though...what in the world is a tea towel?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Sheila,Delete
so a tea towel is dish towel (or dish cloth if you prefer).
I clicked preview and poof! What I typed was gone. So hopefully this works. I wish I could put a picture here. I don't eat cauliflower, but this sandwich was not only picture perfect... it was delicious! I made it today. I had to wing it a bit because the cauliflower head was small, but I had to absolutely picture perfect 'slices'. I didn't have a lot of moisture drip out of the towel, but it was wet, and again... perfect 'slices'. Can you make a batch of these and freeze them? Seems like a great thing to have handy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Janet,Delete
I've never tried freezing them but I don't see why it shouldn't work. I'm so glad you liked it so much, it makes me super happy!
Thank you Mike. It's kind of a labor intensive process, so I wouldn't mind having a supply in the freezer. I can't wait to make more and get creative with my grilled cheese sandwiches.Delete
I must try this, I am Gluten sensitive so NO bread, pizza etc at all unless its gluten free & most of that stuff is horrible. I am hoping for good things from this, fingers X'dReplyDelete
uhh want one. NOWReplyDelete
Mike! You're my new bff !!!ReplyDelete
I would love to try this! Since I've had to go gluten free, one of the big things I've missed is grilled cheese. However, I don't eat eggs. Any idea of what a good substitute would be to maintain the recipe?ReplyDeleteReplies
I may never eat grilled cheese on bread again. I make extras and keep them in the freezer. I don't know much about egg substitutes, but I did a search and you definitely can use an egg replacer. Here's my Google search result: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=egg+substitute+in+cauliflower+pizza+crust&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8Delete
You know what Janet? I should make some and freeze them as well. Thanks for the idea!Delete
- AnonymousAugust 28, 2014 at 8:00 PM
This is amazing! My son made it for us for dinner last night. We added Heirloom Cherokee Purple tomatoes and basil from the garden, best sandwich ever!ReplyDeleteReplies
Really? That's awesome. I'm so happy you like it that much!Delete
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2014 at 4:13 PM
I adore the fact that you include nutritional information for your recipes. Is it just the ones I've looked at, or would I be wrong to ask you to also include the amount of fiber, in future?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2014 at 12:40 AM
Have you ever tried making the crust without a microwave? I don't have one... and won't use one... There must be a way!... maybe just spreading it out in a thin layer and baking it for a few minutes at a fairly low heat to dry it out and cook it to the same degree?ReplyDeleteReplies
Some of the readers have reported steaming (or boiling) the cauliflower works just as well. What really matters - when making cauliflower crust - is to squeeze the moisture out of the cooked cauliflower.Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2014 at 5:56 PM
I am going to have to try this. I have tried gluten free pizza crust made with cauliflower, didn't like it so much because it fell apart to easily. I hope this one is better.ReplyDeleteReplies
The most important thing is to squeeze the moisture out of the cauliflower. It's non negotiable.Delete
Even more so when you make cauli crust pizza!
Soooo true. It's key that you squeeze out that moisture. I put a cheesecloth in a strainer, set that i the sink, and put the cooked cauliflower rice in there to cool a bit before I start squeezing out the liquid. I keep a supply of sandwich crusts (wrapped in 2's) in the freezer, and have purchased food grade cardboard, cover that with foil and have several cauliflower pizza crusts in the freezer too. Those I cook on a pre-heated pizza stone, and put back on the stone when I make the pizza.Delete
GOD BLESS YOU. Oh my goodness may God bless you and your ancestors and your children and your blessed blessed cauliflower addiction. I recently discovered that cauliflower is one of a very short list of things I can eat, and have been strugg-life-in' it to find a way to make sandwich type things. You are a wonderful, blessed, brilliant human being!!! I'm so excited to try this every which way!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lina, that has to be one of the dopest comment ever!Delete
Speaking of "every which way" mentioned in the comment above... Here I am again singing the praises of these wonderful little crusts. The other day, on a whim, I decided it was going to be a french toast-like breakfast. I say "like" because there would be no dipping in an egg mixture. I took 2 crusts out of the freezer, quickly heated them in a pan, and then on the plate with fresh fruit, real maple syrup and some bacon (I had turkey bacon). FAN-TAS-TIC!!! Not only did I get 2 servings of vegetables, I had a treat!ReplyDeleteReplies
Really? That is genius Janet! I have to try myself asap.Delete
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know about your "experiments". You're now the official recipe tester/developer of cauli crust bread :)
Mike... the very first time I made these crusts for grilled cheese, I made them a little thicker - I guess more like the thickness of a slice of bread, which is why I didn't yield as many 'slices'. Thicker certainly worked. And thinner works just as well. I think I might make a supply of thicker 'slices' too. BTW, you don't really taste the mozzarella, which is perfect for the 'french toast'. More ideas are floating around in my little head. Will share again, I'm sure, and with links to pictures.Delete
Mate, I have no words. (just 5)ReplyDelete
My wife asked me to make this for dinner tonight... I was skeptical when she told me the recipe... cauliflower bread grilled cheese. This is/was terrrrific! Nice crispy crust and oozing cheese. Awesome grilled cheese alternative!!!! Thanks for the recipe. :)ReplyDelete
That's so awesome Tim, it makes me super happy you guys liked it that much!Delete
Made this last night for my hubby, he LOVED it so much he just texted me to make it again tonight. Thank you so much for such a great recipe!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's awesome Amy, I'm so glad you guys loved it!Delete
I recently made a new batch of these crusts. This time I added chopped fresh rosemary. Love it! Adding real bacon bits to the shredded cheese was an awesome addition too. By the way, as I've done with grilled cheese with regular bread for years, I don't use butter on my crusts when I make cauliflower crust grilled cheese, I use a little lite mayo... not much, just scrape it on. It serves the purpose and adds a little flavor.ReplyDeleteReplies
I should try that mayo trick, I'm intrigued...Delete

try a slice of thin onion like the British do for BCO's, I guess that would be CCO's instead!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your Addiction! I made these with a Double Smoked Cheddar for my family and let's just say they are our New Favorite ...Loved them as did everyone else. Can't wait to try more of your recipesReplyDeleteReplies
That's fantastic Pauline. If you liked the cauli crust grilled cheese then you should give the pizza a go as well. It's delish!Delete
Looks bloomin great but too lazy and too impatient - gunna leave the recipe and directions lying about and hopefully the Mrs will give it a go!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, come man. You should make this for your Mrs, it's not that hard, trust me.Delete
And if you do, she'll love you even more; I promise!

June 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne rejected calls for a "Plan B" to scale back his deficit-reduction plan if the economic recovery stalls.
Osborne said there is already flexibility in his program, the economy is creating jobs and investors have concluded the U.K. is a "safe bet" because the coalition government has committed to putting the public finances on a sustainable path.
"What our plan provides is credibility where there was no credibility, stability where there was no stability, confidence that the British economy is getting its act together," Osborne said in an interview with BBC Radio 4's "Today" show. "There is flexibility built into the plan. It's flexible because it was very specifically designed to be cyclical."
Osborne made his comments as the International Monetary Fund prepares to release its annual assessment of the British economy later today. A group of 52 economists wrote to the Observer newspaper yesterday saying government spending cuts, the deepest since World War II, are damaging growth and increasing the deficit by reducing tax income and increasing welfare costs.
"The breakneck deficit-reduction plan, based largely on spending cuts, is self-defeating in its own terms," said the economists including Richard Grayson of London University's Goldsmiths college. "It will probably not manage to close the deficit in the planned time frame and the government's strategy is likely to result in a lot more pain and a lot less gain."
Partisan View
Osborne said the signatories were taking a partisan view of the economic situation and ignoring signs of growth. Employment is rising, unemployment is falling and the most recent manufacturing survey is "encouraging," he said.
"It's not the case that all the data has shown there's no growth," Osborne told the BBC. "It's very one-sided to say there are no signs of any growth in the British economy. It's not borne out by the evidence at all."
Ed Balls, Treasury spokesman for the opposition Labour Party, said the letter supported his argument that "confidence is down, and we're now seeing, week-by-week, more evidence that the economy is stalling." Data released May 24 showed Britain posted its largest budget shortfall for any April since monthly records began in 1993.
Osborne said his fiscal mandate is based on the structural deficit rather than the total shortfall so that automatic stabilizers can kick in if the economy hits a weak patch. The Treasury's fiscal watchdog expects a structural deficit of almost 5 percent of economic output to return to balance by April 2015, a year earlier than needed under his rules.
He also said tight fiscal policy was allowing the Bank of England to hold down interest rates, providing a stimulus to growth.

Quinn isn't saying how he'll do it, and he isn't ruling out increasing the state income tax.
Quinn insists he'll have a "responsible" plan to address the budget problems he inherited from his predecessor, the ousted Rod Blagojevich.
Quinn told reporters today the state has to pay its bills and will have to tighten its belt to do it. But he provided no details.
Quinn has been governor for one week and he's under pressure to right the state's budget.
State Comptroller Dan Hynes on Wednesday said the state is looking at a combined budget deficit for this year and next that could be as much as $9 billion.

The Tall Men (1955)
Description: Clark Gable and Jane Russell star in this rugged widescreen western, exquisitely photographed by Leo Tover and directed by veteran action expert Raoul A. Walsh. Gable plays Ben Allison, who with his brother Clint (Cameron Mitchell) journeys to Montana in search of gold. They come upon wealthy businessman Nathan Stark (Robert Ryan), whom they try to rob of $20,000. Instead, Stark talks Ben and Clint into becoming partners with him on a cattle drive to Montana. As the group travels to Texas, they come upon a party of settlers being attacked by Indians. They save the saucy Nella Turner (Jane Russell) and she joins with Ben, who has been made trail boss, and Clint on the cattle drive. Ben and Nella are attracted to each other but after an initial fling, Nella rejects him -- Ben just wants enough money to buy a small ranch and Nella won't settle for slim pickings. Arriving in Fort Worth, Nella takes up with Stark, whose desire to make as much money as possible coincides with Nella's money-hungry ambitions. But when, at Stark's insistence, she accompanies him on the final trek to Montana, the seething friction between Ben and Stark erupts as the drive heads into dangerous Indian country.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

I like these kind of scents. This one is like a cinnamon roll. It is perfect for Winter time and at Christmas parties and Christmas morning. Maybe even Thanksgiving. These lotions have awesome fragrances that last a long time on my fair normal skin. Will definitely buy again!
I like this scent. I didn't for awhile... but then a co-worker of mine came back from Costa Rica with a great tan and wearing this scent. And for some reason, I immediatley had a whole other view of it. I think it's sexy and a bit of a 'good girl bad girl' scent. Men also love vanilla and seem to really notice when I wear this scent. I wear this all year.

This, along with Japanese cherry blossom, are my two favorite Bath and Body Works lotions. I can't get enough of this stuff! Absolutely amazing scent. The name is very fitting. It's a strong vanilla scent with some florals in the mix. I also own the shower gel and body spray. The great thing is that Bath and Body Works always has sales so you can pick this up for a bargain. Highly recommended!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh my goodness, this smells sooo good!! The formula isn't too thick nor is it too light, it's perfect! The smell, well it's fantastic! I paid around 11$ Canadian for mine. The packaging is nice not too fancy or anything. Over all great product. The smell stay on your body for a LONG time! So if your sensitive to smell a little goes a long way, I guess.
- Sarah
This smell brings back so many memories :)
Am I the only one who actually doesn't mind the "new formula"? To be honest I've never smelled the old formula, so I can't compare.
Yeah, it has a slight plasticy scent, but it's delicate enough that it gets mixed in with the vanilla sugar. This is such a warm, comforting scent that lasts for quite a while.
It's not the most moisturizing lotion I've ever used, but it still does a pretty good job. Great for the price. Bath and Body Works have the best smelling products <3
i LOVE this product !!!!
because i have a fair normal to dry skin, this lotion really moist my body skin and it stay for a whole day !!!!
and because the lovely smell, i don't even need to apply parfume anymore !!!
so far, the best body lotion for me..
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this lotion. The scent of vanilla is ever lasting, the scent stays from the time I apply it to the time I shower.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this plus their body gel, and it smells great. I am always sniffing my skin after applying it on. My mom thinks I am a lunatic doing that, but I can't resist!!!! This lotion gives me smooth skin, like a baby's butt, and I often inhale it, (I know not right thing to do) but vanilla scents are so irresistible!!! Totally buying again!!!
The old formula of this lotion is great! It smells very close to the shower gel and spray. The new formula stinks! Literally! It smells like plastic mixed with a very unnatural vanilla. I thought it was just my small travel sized lotion, until my friend had the large lotion and I smelled hers and it was exactly like mine. I hate the new formula! BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA!
More reviews by ChristinaMarieT
To be honest , there are better lotions out there. For the price, this isn't really worth it. The scent is amazing -- a sugary vanilla glaze, with hints of brown sugar; It's long lasting. But really, the scent is what makes the product. The lotion aspect is average at best. It's light, like most of Bath & Body Works' lotions, and absorbs quickly. However, it doesn't moisturize well; You'll soon feel the lotion wear off. Dry skin won't get a treat from this. Perhaps those with normal skin will like this best, but I don't see it doing much besides being a pretty smelling product. Overall, the quality is cheaper than the price.

I am using the JavaScript Google places autocomplete API v3. It works fine but I was wondering if there was a way to force the selection from the autocomplete, that is input that will not accept any free form text. I looked at the docs and didn't see such an option but figured I would ask just to be safe. I'm sure I could work out a way to do it with some JavaScript but would prefer to use an already built method if it is available. Thanks!
The Google Places API does not currently support this feature. If you believe this would be a useful feature please submit a Places API - Feature Request.
I was having the same problem, below is a function that I came up with as a work-around. This could be used in combination with an event such as onchange or onkeyup. Hope it helps!
Actually, what we did was the following:
It is not solving the problem in a JS way, but still, it does the trick just fine!

Google Retools for the Battle With Microsoft
To that end, the company designs its applications with collaboration as the guiding post instead of as a "bolt-on" that is affixed as an afterthought. Kraus compared the superiority of that approach as similar to the superiority of Salesforce.com (CRM), a company that offers software as a service over the Internet, over Oracle's (ORCL) Siebel Systems unit, an incumbent in the field that has been struggling to catch up with its own tweaked service offering.
And while Google's free service may seem like an act of charity, the move is a shrewdly calculated one to deflate the value of Microsoft's biggest properties. It also comes at a time when Microsoft is aggressively ramping up its bid to cut into Google's bread-and-butter advertising revenue.
While the Redmond, Wash., giant has long plotted to march onto Google's turf, it should now expect a push on its own home front as well.

Part 1: Introduction: Best Practices for Developing High-Impact Service-Learning Curricula
This blog post is one of a six-part series on how to develop high-impact service-learning curricula. Each post discusses one best practice for writing effective service-learning curricula and provides an example of implementation. These best practices are informed by the development of Live the Questions, American Jewish World Service's service-learning curriculum for the World Partners Fellowship in India. To engender greater collaboration and support the development of a robust service-learning field, we have made the complete curriculum available here.
Best Practices for Developing High-Impact Service-Learning Curricula
A growing body of research on Jewish and secular service-learning indicates that service-learning programs can provide impactful service to communities in need. They also have the potential to instill a long-term commitment to social activism in volunteers.
However, these outcomes are only achievable if service programs integrate a strong educational foundation. Without education, we risk sending volunteers to the field who are unprepared; unaware of the cultural, socioeconomic and political contexts in which they work; unsuccessful and, in the end; disillusioned by the experience.
So then, how do we integrate learning into service programs? And how do we do it effectively: in a way that that fosters deep and authentic reflection, compels volunteers to examine the context of the poverty and injustice in which they work, prepares them to be humble and effective in their placements and catalyzes them to engage in sustained social justice activism far beyond their term of service?
It may seem like a tall order, but with careful consideration and commitment, creating curricula that achieves these goals is possible. In this blog series, I will identify guidelines to developing high-impact service-learning curricula. These best practices are based on my experience developing service-learning curricula at American Jewish World Service (AJWS).They are the product of an intensive and collaborative learning process between AJWS staff members, former volunteers and colleagues in the field of service-learning. By sharing these best practices, I hope to expand our collaborative learning process to include a greater number of practitioners and provide support to new service-learning curriculum developers.
The examples I provide in this blog series are based on AJWS's most recent service-learning curriculum, Live the Questions, which serves as the educational foundation for the World Partners Fellowship, a 10 month volunteer fellowship in India for recent college graduates and young professionals. Live the Questions is designed specifically for a Jewish volunteer program that is long-term and includes individual (not group) service placements. However, the lessons that emerge are broadly applicable to Jewish and secular service-learning programs of any length and structure.
Each subsequent blog post will highlight one best practice, followed by an example of how we integrated this practice into Live the Questions. The series will conclude with a reflection on the implementation of Live the Questions by Will Nassau, AJWS senior program officer, who oversees the World Partners Fellowship. To engender greater collaboration and support the development of a robust service-learning field, we have also made the complete curriculum available here. I invite comments from other practitioners on any of these posts, and welcome questions from those who are new to developing service-learning curricula.

The 2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame
They're famous, yes. And good-looking, mostly. Not to get all fashion-police or anything, but these unfortunately dressed men taught us all a little bit about the occasionally important upgrade.
Nick Cannon
Everyone in Hollywood does it, but Mr. Carey has that unenviable ability to look like he borrowed someone's clothes. From his furnishing choices to the fit of his suits, Cannon just doesn't look quite right. We'd let him off the hook (as we do with many other celebrities of only mild offensiveness) if it weren't for that look on his face that always seems to say, Damn, I look good.
The Suggestion: Those peak lapels and "strong" shoulders? Looks like your older brother's suit. Try some softer construction when it comes to jacket selection.
The Takeaway: We're all for a bold pattern, but pick one item of clothing for it. A strong pin stripe, a pattern pocket square, and a bright tie can add up to a whole bunch of confusion. Especially if the tie is bright green.

Silicon Motion Technology's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
With that, I would now like to turn the call over to Wallace.
Wallace Kou
Thank you, Jason, and thanks to everyone for joining us on this second quarter earnings call. I'm happy to report another strong quarter with revenue increasing by 9% sequentially to $69.7 million in the second quarter.
While the overall market condition continues to be challenging, the strong realm of our new growth products were able to offset the three unfavorable market conditions relating to the sales of core products and contribute strongly to our second quarter growth. This quarter, we delivered $0.42 in diluted earnings per ADS, an increase of $0.29 diluted earnings per ADS a year ago. Riyadh will discuss our financial result in greater detail later on the call.
In the second quarter, our new growth product grew by a strong 75% sequentially and accounted for 32% of our revenue in the second quarter compared to only 20% of our revenue in the previous quarter. The 32% [inaudible] of our revenue from new growth products is significantly more than our previous target of 25% by the end of 2012. For full-year 2012, we now anticipate our new growth products to account for 30 to 35% of our revenue and roughly 40 to 45% next year.For many years, we are being adopting new products that will enable us to deliver sustainable longer-term growth as the growth of our core products show sign of a deceleration. The market of our core products, current USB flash drive controllers, Mobile TV and the CDMA RF and graphic processes are not increasingly mature. The products that will drive our longer term growth are our new growth products, specifically our [inaudible] plus embedded and LT solutions. These new growth products leverage the underlying leading edge NAND flash controller technology and mobile transceiver technology that we have been developing for our core products.

I'm planning to mtb the 31mi syncline mountain loop this week. I'm basing my expectations on Richard Larson's 1991 book on mountain biking in Alaska. The trail starts out around mile 123 on the glen highway. I've heard the locals run a dogsled race around syncline mountain every winter, and presumably atv's use it as well. Have any of you been out there in recent years? Is the trail still ride-able by mtb?

March 3, 2011 — (BRONX, NY) — Few primary care physicians pay adequate attention to patients taking prescription opioid drugs — despite the potential for abuse, addiction and overdose, according to a new study by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.
Joanna Starrels, M.D., M.S.The study, published in the March 2 online edition of the Journal of General Internal Medicine, found lax monitoring even of patients at high risk for opioid misuse, such as those with a history of drug abuse or dependence. The findings are especially concerning considering that prescription drug abuse now ranks second (after marijuana) among illicitly used drugs, with approximately 2.2 million Americans using pain relievers nonmedically for the first time in 2009, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
"Our study highlights a missed opportunity for identifying and reducing misuse of prescribed opioids in primary care settings," said lead author Joanna Starrels, M.D., M.S., assistant professor of medicine at Einstein. "The finding that physicians did not increase precautions for patients at highest risk for opioid misuse should be a call for a standardized approach to monitoring."
The researchers studied administrative and medical records of more than 1,600 primary care patients for an average of two years while they received regular prescription opioids for chronic, non-cancer pain. They looked at whether patients received urine drug testing, were seen regularly in the office, or received multiple early opioid refills.
Only a small minority (8 percent) of patients were found to have undergone any urine drug testing. While such testing was more common in patients at higher risk for opioid misuse, the rate of testing among those high-risk patients was still low (24 percent). Only half of patients were seen regularly in the office, and patients at higher risk of opioid misuse were not seen more frequently than patients at lower risk. Although fewer than one-quarter (23 percent) of all patients received two or more early opioid refills, patients at greater risk for opioid misuse were more likely to receive multiple early refills.
"We hope that these findings will call attention to this important safety concern."
-- Joanna Starrels, M.D., M.S."We were disturbed to find that patients with a drug use disorder were seen less frequently in the office and were prescribed more early refills than patients without these disorders," said Dr. Starrels. "We hope that these findings will call attention to this important safety concern."
Prescription drug misuse is a major public health problem. In a 2004 NIDA report, it was estimated that 48 million people over the age of 12 have taken prescription drugs for nonmedical uses in their lifetime – which represents approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population. Opioids, central nervous system depressants and stimulants were the drugs most commonly abused.
"Most primary care physicians are attuned to these problems," said Dr. Starrels, "but they haven't put sufficient strategies in place to help reduce risks." She and her co-authors recommend that physicians adopt the following risk-reduction strategies: standardize a plan of care for all patients on long-term opioids, which includes urine drug testing; schedule regular face-to-face office visits to evaluate patients' response to opioids and evidence of misuse; and stick to a previously agreed-upon refill schedule.
The paper, "Low Use of Opioid Risk Reduction Strategies in Primary Care Even for High Risk Patients with Chronic Pain," was published March 2, 2011 in the online edition of the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Co-authors include William C. Becker, M.D., of Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT; Mark G. Weiner, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA; Xuan Li, M.S., and Moonseong Heo, Ph.D., of Einstein; and Barbara J. Turner, M.D., M.S.Ed., of the University of Texas Health Science Center and University Health System, San Antonio, TX.

Heard Museum
Phoenix, AZ, 85004, United States
Even if it didn't house one of the world's premiere collections of Native American art, you'd want to hang out in this space. The Spanish Colonial-style architecture harkens to 1929, when the Heard family's then-modest collection of Native American crafts opened to the public. Courtyards and archways—plus the recent addition of an Arcadia Farms café—make museum-going an all-day adventure. And the permanent collection warrants your attention: mainly devoted to classic Native American work (from Arizona and beyond), including intricate pottery, baskets, and turquoise jewelry, it also features kachina (a.k.a. katsina) dolls carved by Hopi and Zuni tribes that symbolize spiritual beings and historical figures. Curators have begun to take chances by mounting contemporary shows featuring younger, risk-taking artists such as Hector Ruiz, who exhibits at Bentley Projects.
Insider Tip:
Tip: Skip the schlocky Scottsdale tourist traps and do your serious jewelry and pottery shopping at the gift shop.

Comments on death of former Oklahoma star Tisdale
Comments on the death of former Oklahoma and NBA star Wayman Tisdale on Friday:
"He was so positive, he almost made you feel he was OK when you knew he wasn't. It's a shock. I don't know of any athlete at Oklahoma or any place else who was more loved by the fans who knew him than Wayman Tisdale." – Former Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs.
"I spoke with him pretty frequently this past season and he helped me in ways he probably doesn't even know. He's touched so many lives. I'm just happy he's going to a better place." – Former Sooners star Blake Griffin, who received permission from Tisdale to wear jersey No. 23, which had been retired in his honor.
"I was thinking, 'I can't believe this has happened.' I was trying to think of our age difference, and I'm like, 'This man is 44.' I don't know what's old anymore." – Sam Perkins, who played with Tisdale on the 1984 Olympic team and was best man at his wedding.
"Wayman Tisdale was much more than a superb basketball player and gifted musician. He was an incredible human being who touched the lives of everyone he met. He was always smiling and his love for life, even as he battled a terrible illness, inspired countless people. Basketball has lost a great ambassador." – NBA commissioner David Stern.
"He changed the whole landscape for basketball in our state, from a fun standpoint and from a production standpoint. We were a football state until Wayman came on the scene." – Kansas coach Bill Self, an Oklahoma native who played with Tisdale on the same AAU team.
"He was the nicest man in the world with the biggest heart and an even bigger smile. I thank him for befriending me and showing me there is more to life than just basketball." – Former Pacers star Reggie Miller, who played with Tisdale in the NBA.
"He was truly an inspiration to me, paving the way for an athlete like myself to pursue a passion for writing and performing music. I had the honor and privilege of having Wayman perform on the title track of my new album, and was looking forward to collaborating with him again in the future." – Musician and former Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams.
"He was an All-American player and an All-American person. He lit up the day for us, I remember, at so many practices. We practiced so long and hard and Wayman's smile and whole demeanor made those so much easier." – C.M. Newton, the manager of the 1984 Olympic team.
"Even in the most challenging of times, he had a smile for people, and he had the rare ability to make everyone around him smile. He was one of the most inspirational people I have ever known." – Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry, who attended college with Tisdale.
"On the court, he was an offensive machine that could score with the best of them. Off the court, he was grounded in faith and family. He affected lives through the vehicles of sports and music that few others ever will. It's a huge loss." – Mavericks President Donnie Nelson, who helped coach Tisdale with the Suns.

I'm one of those annoying people that always needs something to do; something to work on and am my own worst enemy when it comes to making more work for myself. Yes, I might need therapy.
But, in the meantime, let me pull you into my little world of projects that make me excited and keep me from having downtime.
Project #1
This happened Saturday. We needed to move some stuff from the front porch to the back porch, so my smart (and handsome) husband decided we could use his jeep to do the hauling. It worked perfectly, but we seriously looked like the Joads (Grapes of Wrath) or the Beverly Hillbillies. Either way - it was one short trip, which worked for me!
The back porch has been neglected for way too long simply because it's always in use. We are one of those "back porch guests are best" families, I guess. So, Saturday was the day to make it a little more appealing and give it a bit of character.
This porch is actually screened in and serves as our "mud room", "dog food room", "leave your boots at the door" room, etc. But, now it looks cute and serves a purpose, so I feel better.
Here's project #2........
Trying to refresh my flower beds (well, technically they are buckets) out front, since they all froze over the winter and basically did what all my plants do best - DIE.
And, every year I just buy more. Hey! I'm helping the economy, right?
Project #3
This little project has been hiding in my kitchen pantry for way too long and we finally made a little progress on it Saturday. While David had his drill out, working on the back porch, I casually mentioned this little stack of lids that I've been saving for him to drill nail holes in and could he possibly do it for me today. (I might have given him a sweet smile while asking.)
Like he always does - he said "yes" and proceeded to drill holes in these metal and porcelain lids for me, which wasn't the easiest task and might have even ruined a drill bit or two, but who's counting.
Anyway, my plan is to hang them around the top of my kitchen wall and they might possible have something written on them, but I'm not telling that right now. Tune in later for the reveal.
Project #4
Then there's my living room. An ongoing project - always!
I think I've finally got it looking pretty cute, so maybe I'm done with it for awhile. Not sure. Can't promise anything.
Project #5
Now, this is something I'm having great fun with!
In case I haven't made myself clear in the past - I'M ADDICTED TO PAPER!
I love all things paper and especially notebooks, binders, books, etc.
So, I've been using these little notebooks as my latest obsession and decorating the front with stickers, papers, tile letters and other goodies.
Remember the prayer journal I did a while back?
These notebooks are great to work with because they are cheap and easily accessible. Just add a few cutouts, stickers, stamps, and letters and you have a cute journal and even a gift or two.
Anyway - that's a glimpse into my project world and how I keep myself occupied when I'm not cooking, cleaning, washing, teaching, grading,
Projects are good for the soul. They keep me busy, keep me creative, keep me thinking about what to do next and most of all - I enjoy having something to do. I can't help it.
What about YOU?
Working on anything lately? I would love to hear all about it! Actually, I would love to know that I'm not the only crazy lady that can't sit still and do nothing. That would be good to know....
Leave me a comment and let me know what keeps you busy.

MRI Interventions Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRI Interventions, Inc. (OTCQB:MRIC), a commercial stage medical device company focused on creating innovative platforms for performing the next generation of minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain and heart, announced today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Management Comments
"We are very pleased with the progress we made in the second quarter. We posted record disposable product revenues, we added to our installed base, we advanced our activities in drug delivery trials, we introduced additional capabilities for our ClearPoint system and we continued to expand the sales and marketing platform we need to support future growth in our business," said Kimble Jenkins, CEO of MRI Interventions."We are pleased to report 98% growth in our revenues from disposable product sales, with revenues of $404,000 in the second quarter 2013 compared to $204,000 in the second quarter 2012. This significant growth reflects an increasing number of ClearPoint procedures being performed as adoption of our ClearPoint system continues to increase," said Jenkins. "In addition, total product revenues increased to $497,000 in the second quarter 2013, up from $291,000 in the second quarter 2012, representing 71% growth." Jenkins continued, "Our ClearPoint installed base continues to expand, as we added three new installations in the second quarter. These new sites include the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, City of Hope Hospital in Los Angeles, and the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon. The Mayo Clinic and City of Hope installations were made under our ClearPoint Placement Program, while the Oregon Health & Science University purchased the capital equipment for use in research studies. We ended the quarter with 25 installed sites, including 23 sites in the United States and two sites in Europe." "The library of clinical data supporting our ClearPoint system is continuing to grow," said Jenkins. "ClearPoint clinical data was presented throughout the quarter, including physician presentations at the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery Quadrennial Meeting in Tokyo, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting in New Orleans, and the Targeted Drug Delivery Conference in San Francisco. Subsequent to the quarter, clinical data was presented at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders in Sydney, Australia, highlighting the benefits of DBS lead placement with ClearPoint in pediatric patients suffering from primary dystonia."

2-4 High Petergate, YORK, YO1 7EH
Built quite literally into the ancient city walls and sitting in the shadow of York Minster, The Lamb & Lion offers everything you could reasonably ask of a historic pub: a labyrinth of cosy little rooms takes in a bar bristling with hand-pulled real ales and kitted out with church pews, bare wooden tables and a real fire, while skinny corridors lead to the back snugs and parlour dining room. Straight-talking traditional food aims to please all comers, and you can rest assured that the quality of the ingredients is up to scratch. Pub classics such as home-made steak pie with mash and real gravy, or fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce sit alongside unpretentious ideas-perhaps lamb shank with garlic and rosemary jus, or wild mushroom risotto with parmesan crisp. Finish with the comforting simplicity of chocolate brownie and ice cream or a retro knickerbocker glory.

To listen to ma folks, stop getting so stressed with them, be more greatful towards them and take their advice!!
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

The Bloomberg news service counts 10 lawmakers who may be ready to switch their votes when the bailout proposal takes another run at the House of Representatives. The original measure failed by only 23 votes and has since been substantially fattened by the Senate.
U.S. lawmakers who helped defeat a financial-market rescue package this week are reconsidering their votes amid signs the crisis on Wall Street is spreading.
At least six lawmakers, including Republican Zach Wamp of Tennessee and Democrat Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, now say they would support the measure. Four others say they may switch their ballots before the House votes again, as early as 12:30 p.m. tomorrow, on the measure, which failed by a dozen votes Sept. 29.
The legislation allows the government to buy troubled assets from financial institutions rocked by record home foreclosures. It contains provisions favored by House Republicans, including $149 billion in tax breaks, a higher limit on federal bank- deposit insurance and securities law changes.
