More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more!!
Great writing and exciting plot, I really wanna know what happens next :)
Author's Response: YAY!! I'm so glad you like it. And thank you for the lovely compliments, too- they mean a lot!! The whole story's already written; I'll get the next chapter up for validation ASAP. Keep reading and reviewing! Luv, Stef :)
Yay for Hermione being at Malfoy Manor! Probably not great for her, but I''m looking forward to some Hermione/Draco interaction. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review, and thanks for hanging in there with me for some Draco/Hermione stuff. It really builds slowly because I don't want it to be like he sees her and now they're in love with each other and blah blah blah. It WILL happen, I promise! Keep reading and reviewing! Luv, Stef :)
i love this so far :D waiting for the next chapter!
Author's Response: THANKS!!! My next chapter got kicked out of the queue for some reason; I just resubmitted it so hopefully it will be up soon. Thank you so much for your review- it makes my day!! Luv, Stef :)
When are you coming up with a new chapter? It's a riveting tale....nicely written, good flow of story. Im on pins andneedles waiting! ;)
Author's Response: Eeep! Thank you soo much!! I'm so very glad you like it. The whole story's actually been written- finished it last week- but I have to get each chapter Beta'd and validated. I have chapter seven in the queue!! Thank you for the feedback on the actual writing as well- it's such an encouragement. Keep watching for Chapter 7, and let me know what you think of it!! Luv, Stef :)
I loved this chapter, it shows nonmatyer how we try to bury the want for it we are constantly seeking our parents praise and approval. One quick not though, Lucius was not in school when Snape developed sectumsempra. He was a prefect when Snape was a first year so we would have been graduated.
Author's Response: Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to portray between Draco and his father. I'm glad that it came across! Oh, and thanks for the note on Lucius and Snape- after doing a little more research, I discovered my error. I still assume that, at some point, Snape's curse would have become a Death Eater weapon used by all. I appreciate you pointing it out! Please continue reading and reviewing! Luv, Stef :)
EPIC!!!! Great detail, interesting plot. Im rather lacking in creativity today sooo, thats all I can really say...
Author's Response: THANK YOU!! I've never been epic before! *runs around doing a happy dance*. I'm so glad you like the story- it means a lot to hear your words of encouragement. Feel free to make me feel like a queen after every chapter! ; ) The plot's about to get even more interesting... Luv, Stef : )
I loved loved loved it! nice to see Hermione relaxed and enjoying herself for a change...not that it's for long by the sounds of it!
Author's Response: Thank you thank you thank you- I'm grinning from ear to ear right now!! Yep, here it comes...poor Hermione! I'll get the next chapter up fast! Luv, Stef :)
Ahhhh! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: I'm trying to get it up fast! It's gonna be a bumpy ride from here! : ) Thanks as always for reviewing; I do a little happy dance when you do! Luv, Stef :)
LOVED IT! Draco is such a player! and after all these years Hermione still is affected by Draco's taunts! I can't wait to see how the story progresses! You truly a fantastic writer!
Author's Response: Hee-hee, I like Draco as a bit of a player,, ; ) Your encouragement means the world, hunny! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Great chapter again! Your depictions of the weasley and malfoy Christmas were perfectly contrasting, and the grangers were so sweet :) I also like happy Harry
Author's Response: Thanks sweetie! This was absolutely one of my favorite chapters to write. : ) Next chapter coming soon!
I am eagerly anticipating your next chapters!! you are a very talented writer I am hooked constantly checking for an update!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Hearing that is a writer's dream! I have four chapters up now, with a fifth awaiting validation. I can't wait for you to read the next ones- please review them for me as well. Again, thanks from the bottom of my heart. Oh, and I love your username. :)
For some reason my review when I originally read this story didn't work...I loved this chapter, his emotions perfectly mirror a child in his position. The line "father-shaped hole in his heart" was heartbreaking! You have his motivations set up for a very interesting story...I love reading your descriptions of the malfoy family dynamic, can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Eeeep! I'm so glad to hear from you- I was actually thinking about you- you are always so positive with your feedback, sweetie! So glad you loved this chappie- it's nearly the end of setting up Draco's characters and motivations. Hermione enters next, so in a few chapters we're going to take off! As always, thanks hunny- keep reading and reviewing! Luv, Stef :)
You left me wanting more! You're a brilliant writer, the sympathy and pity I'm feeling for Draco is incredible! Poor boy:( I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so very much!! It's heaven to hear the things you say, especially because of how hard I've worked to tell Draco's story the way I see him. I am so glad you like my story this much. :) The next chapter's just waiting to be validated- please read and give more awesome feedback! Luv, Stef :)
Oh my god. This brought up some really bad memories for me, I couldn't finish it after he did the thing with Draco's hand and the glass and the oh my god..
Author's Response: Oh, I'm so sorry!!!!! I grew up abused myself and I think a bit of that was cathartic for me, but I know what it's like to get hit in the face with a bad memory when you never saw it coming. If you think you can, the rest of the story is NOTHING like the first chapter- I only use it to set up the relationship between Draco and his father, which is pivotal to the rest of the story. I never meant this to cause anyone unnecessary pain, I swear! Again, I am so sorry! :(
Draco was a bastard cos he was spolit he was never punished for lying. Otherwise he would of been scared of his father and he wouldn't bully his father into smugling a broom in his first year.
Author's Response: Ooooh, I can see you're not a Draco fan! Thank you for reviewing- it's good to get feedback from every point of view. Yeah, he was a little bastard, no doubt. However, he only told Harry he was going to bully his father, and bullies like to put on a tough facade to others. I'm a Marriage & Family counselor and I've read and seen for myself that most bullies are either bullied themselves at home, or are indulged to the point of feeling entitled to everything. My fic is examining the what-if-scenario that his father was indeed a bully while his mother told him he could do no wrong? That'll screw a kid up! To me, Draco is a sympathetic character,but I appreciate your opinion as well. Thanks! Luv, Stef :)
Love it, can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks, hunny! I'm so glad you love it! *does a little happy dance* Chapter 4 is in Beta-land, so as soon as it's validated I'll have it up. Keep reading and reviewing!!! Luv, Stef :)
wow you're doing an amazing job with this! Bellatrix especially in the chapter was described perfectly. I look forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thank you thank you, my friend!! :D Glad you liked my work on Bella. I liked putting in the Dementor reference because I think she would still see them and be completely freaked about the idea of them. Almost makes her a teeeeny bit sympathetic, but not really. Just wait, she'll be NOT sympathetic at all as the story unfolds! Thanks a lot- looking forward to your next review. You keep me going!! Luv, Stef :)
Wow this is really good,very well written and the plot seems interesting. Im eager to find out what happens, please carry on writing, cant wait for the next chapter :-)
Author's Response: Thank you- I appreciate that SO much!!! :D So glad you like it; the next chapter is still Draco-centric but Hermione enters the picture in the following one. Keep reading, and write a review anytime- it's the best feeling to receive one. Thanks again!!! Luv, Stef :)
I really like it, please continue with it!:D
Make another please oh please

Europe needs final-match win for Cup
NEWPORT, Wales -- The pressure was more than Graeme McDowell wanted.
The heartbreak was more than Hunter Mahan could handle.
The longest Ryder Cup in history came down to the very last match Monday at Celtic Manor, exposing the rawest emotions found in golf and delivering a moment that defines a career -- even for a U.S. Open champion.
Clinging to a 1-up lead with three holes to play, with Europe needing his match to reclaim the precious gold trophy, McDowell gently sent his 15-foot putt toward the cup and set off a ground-shaking roar when it dropped for birdie.
"The best putt I've hit in my life," McDowell said.
One hole later, Mahan was well short on the par-3 17th, flubbed a chip and conceded a par to McDowell that gave Europe the 14½ points it needed to take back the cup.
Ryder Cup Last-Day Singles
The Ryder Cup came down to the final group and Europe came away with the victory. Scores
It was the first time since 1991 that the Ryder Cup was decided by the final singles match, a thriller made possible by the Americans getting big wins from their best players, and a stunning comeback by 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler.
Leave it to McDowell to cap off a great year -- for himself in the U.S. Open, for all of Europe in the Ryder Cup.
Under far greater pressure than he felt at Pebble Beach, McDowell could barely keep his hands steady on his 6-iron from 181 yards to hit the shot in the 16th hole. And he couldn't hold back his emotions on the 17th, when the match ended with his 3-and-1 victory.
Neither could Mahan.
"That birdie on 16 was huge," Mahan said, fighting back tears. "He beat me."
That was all he could say before bowing his head. This, from the player who delivered the most crucial putt two years ago Valhalla in a U.S. victory.
Such a heart-stopping finish salvaged what had been a drab week at the Ryder Cup, with two big rain delays that forced a revamped schedule and led to the first Monday finish in Ryder Cup history.
Under a beautiful blue sky in Wales, all was forgotten.
Memories of mud and umbrellas were replaced by Fowler winning the last three holes with birdies to escape with a half-point, Tiger Woods holing out from the fairway for eagle and not even knowing it, Miguel Angel Jimenez finally playing a Ryder Cup on home soil and winning a singles match for the first time.
Ultimately, this was about team -- and Europe was the best again.
More from the Ryder Cup
Europe and the U.S. took very different Ryder Cup directions -- which is why Colin Montgomerie's team won and Corey Pavin's didn't, writes ESPN.com's Gene Wojciechowski. Story
The Ryder Cup has meant everything to Colin Montgomerie. That's why, as ESPN.com's Bob Harig notes, leading Europe to victory as captain stands as his crowning achievement. Story
• Harig: McDowell seals the win
The first tee, and its unique stadium-like setting, led to a festive atmosphere. ESPN's Rick Reilly spent some time there Monday, soaking it all in. Story
Some made the grade and others came up short at Celtic Manor. ESPN.com's Jason Sobel ranks all 24 players from the 38th Ryder Cup. Story
"We've won nine of the last 13," Luke Donald said. "We're starting to get down to that word 'dominance.' "
The Americans have not won the Ryder Cup away from home since 1993, although this was their best effort since then. For the longest time, it didn't look as though it would come down to the McDowell and Mahan, the anchors of this singles session.
"Graeme McDowell was put there for a good reason -- he's full of confidence and that showed," European captain Colin Montgomerie said. "That birdie on 16 was just quite unbelievable. Quite unbelievable."
McDowell saw mostly European blue on the boards and figured his match wouldn't matter. Then came a swift switch to red, and as he glanced at a leaderboard off the 10th green, he had a sick feeling.
"I hoped that I wasn't going to be needed," McDowell said. "At that point, I got extremely nervous, and coming down the stretch there, I've never felt nerves like it in my life.
"The U.S. Open felt like a back nine with my dad back at Portrush compared to that."
That was due to a resurgence by the Americans. Woods holed out for eagle during a seven-hole stretch that he played in 7-under par. Steve Stricker won the opening match and Phil Mickelson built a big lead to win late. Jeff Overton, the first American to make the Ryder Cup team without a tour victory, won three straight holes to beat Ross Fisher.
Then came Fowler, the first PGA Tour rookie to play in the Ryder Cup, making 15-foot birdie putts on the 17th and 18th holes to scratch out a half-point against Edoardo Molinari and making the Americans believe for the first time all day they could win.
That gave them 13½ points, and they only needed a halve in the last match to retain the cup. Just as Fowler was being mobbed by his teammates, Mahan made a nervy birdie putt on the 15th to cut McDowell's lead to 1 up.
That's when McDowell channeled his nerves into a putt he won't forget. What soon followed were more showers -- only these came from bottles of champagne sprayed in every direction.
"It's been the best week of my life," said Rory McIlroy, who holed a 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole to earn a half-point against Stewart Cink that turned out to be crucial.
Montgomerie is renowned for a career missing only a major. This felt like one, maybe even better.
"This is one of the finest moments of my golfing -- wait a minute -- this IS the greatest moment of my golfing career," he said.
Europe thrives on winning the Ryder Cup, yet this year went beyond the matches. McDowell won the U.S. Open, and Martin Kaymer of Germany won the PGA Championship, the first time two Europeans have won majors in the same year since 1999.
For U.S. captain Corey Pavin, it was a week where everything seemed to go wrong, from forgetting to introduce to Cink at the opening ceremony to rain suits that malfunctioned to pairings that blew up on him.
That changed in a two-hour window that shifted momentum, and almost the Ryder Cup, to his side.
"We nearly got there today," he said. "We started off a little slow. We came back hard. We almost got there. I'm very proud of their resolve, of their sportsmanship and their fine play. I can only say it's been an honor and a privilege to call them teammates."
His voice breaking, he walked over to each of them at the closing ceremony to shake hands.
The Europeans were inspired by a phone call earlier in the week from Seve Ballesteros, the catalyst for European dominance in the Ryder Cup. He is battling brain cancer and could not travel to Celtic Manor. They kept a poster of Ballesteros in the team room, then displayed it for the crowd at closing ceremonies.
McDowell got the loudest cheer when Montgomerie called out his 12 players one by one. They know him well in these parts. In his final tournament before winning the U.S. Open, McDowell won the Wales Open at Celtic Manor.
Mahan made a mess of the 17th, memorable because it was the last match. The bigger blow might have been Cink. He was 1 up on McIlroy and drove the par-4 15th green, only to three-putt for par and lose the hole.
Cink had a chance to go 1-up on the 17th when he missed a 5-foot birdie putt. McIlroy scratched out a critical half-point on the 18th when he hit into a bunker going for the green in two, left his first shot in the bunker, and made a 5-foot par putt.
Luke Donald, who along with Poulter won three matches this week, twice made 20-foot birdie putts when Jim Furyk was inside 4 feet to halve the holes and keep the lead, and keep Celtic Manor humming with cheers of "Luuuuuuuuuke!"
Poulter led the team in passion, pumping his fists and screaming above the din with every birdie.
"We have played from the heart today," Poulter said, his face soaked with champagne. "And do you know what? We brought back this trophy. This is a special day."
Woods had his best Ryder Cup, winning his opening two matches with Stricker and bouncing back from his worst defeat to overwhelm Francesco Molinari on the back nine for a 4-and-3 victory.
The Americans put up a bigger fight than expected, but left Europe with a familiar feeling -- and without the cup.

More reviews by CathyEarnshaw2
Meh.....very generic, baby powder scent. Inoffensive but kind of bland. I like it but don't love it. It can be comforting. There is something in the topnotes that I don't care for....cucumber? melon?...but it fades away.
The bottle looks like a duck....horrid!
OMG, I TOTALLY agree w/ 4mitchell, BELOW..lol, Baby powder with a hint of poo..I tried this a few years back and I just was stunned that I was constantly reminded of diapers when I wore it..My husband loved it, and just wearing it without closer inspection, it was fine, but I kept sniffing my wrists and thinking of diapers..I had a toddler at the time and kept thinking "maybe it's just me"...till I read the review below (thanks for that) I came here looking for a review on the LUXE version, I just purchased it online unsniffed :) I haven't gotten it yet...I am hoping when I recieve it that it has the scent my husband liked (he hates everything) but NONE of that diaper doodyness of the original version !
UPDATE:Just recieved LUXE version in the mail today. IT'S wonderful :) Wish I could describe the scent, its very complex, to me not floral but creamy and deep. It's a VERY SEXY scent. I hope my husband agrees :) It is nothing ALL like the original version IMO. The scent is very intense without being strong or overpowering. Doesn't have that powdery (baby poo) note to it that the original mist had. YAY !!!
I really wanted to like this fragrance, but all I get is baby powder and diapers. I can also pick up a hint of wood which must be the sandalwood or cedarwood, but the predominant notes are still baby powder and a whiff of baby poo.
I've tested this in stores several times, and it just doesn't work with my chemistry.
More reviews by annaharris_227
I sprayed this on my wrist today and I'm surprised at how much I like it! The cashemere part reminds me of the warm and fuzzy feeling I get from the scent of warm dryer lint as I'm emptying the trap. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking...but I actually find it to be a nice comforting fragrance. And it's got a light musky note to balance it all out. The only thing I find odd is the packaging....who came up with that shape for the bottle?
UPDATE: Okay, after sniffing this all day as opposed to to a few hours before washing it off my wrist, it starts to be become way too much. I'm fully convinced that this is actually what induced my migraine the other night! Good in small doses, but beyond that...no. continued >>
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This one needs the right chemistry to work, and it seems that mine is miles away from it. The opening burnt my nose terribly. Then there was the warmth, but it soon turned into some cloying heat - like suffocating in a cashmere sweater in an overheated room where everybody is about to doze off. The base felt sweaty to me, but I might be imagining that as an extension of the overall feel of this perfume. I usually don't care for the bottles, but this one is truly unsightly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well well, this was an innocent test on my skin... from the spritz on paper it had me. Lovely floral with a party kick of warmth. So yes please let's try this on my skin. It turned into alcohol cleaner/ mojito/ dipped in warm oatmeal???? I know this sounds completely crazy but this was not what I smelled on the spritz paper. Sad for me. But it is really nice on the right person. I totally dislike the bottle shape not cute.
I actually found this wonderful scent in a magazine while sitting on a plane. I love it. Nordstrom has a great gift, which includes the body lotion and wash. So far, this has stayed on and really is a delightful scent, not too overpowering.
Update: I am back to Michael Kohrs. I took this back to Nordstrom, never stayed on.
this was a christmas gift from my husband and I like the scent...its just not one of my all time favorites and once this bottle is complete i'm not sure that I'll be a return user. its a lighter scent and smells really good... overall its okay to me, i've had better but i've enjoyed it.
This product keeps showing up in various forms in my life. I don't care for it. It seems like an old lady scent to me, too powdery. Surprised that it seems so popular. I avoid it at the counters.
This is an, uh, interesting combination of scents. I can definitely pick out the vanilla, but there is a bit of floral something to this also. The initial smell is quite pungent and the alcohol is very prominent. It later dries down into somewhat of a deodorant-like vanilla/floral on me. It sort of reminds me of J'Adore by Christian Dior, but with vanilla and something else. It also gives me a slightly dry throat from smelling it...so its safe to assume I won't be purchasing this again.

A landmark and largest ever U.N. climate summit opened here on Monday, with the head of the U.N.'s Nobel-winning panel of environmental scientists accusing vested quarters of not being ready to face the reality of threats of wide-ranging nature of changes in climate.
Attacking the so-called "climategate" affair as a bid to undermine the capability of his organisation, Rajendra Pachauri said at the opening ceremony that those who had hacked into the e-mails of top climate scientists were out to discredit the scientific assessment made of threats to the climate.
But "climategate" rocked the conference with some countries calling for an international probe into the affair, especially accusations that scientists had distorted data to dramatise the threat of global warming.
The Saudi Arabian negotiator Mohammed al-Sabban said that climate science had been "shaken" by the leaked e-mails. "The level of trust is definitely shaken, now that we are about to conclude an agreement that... is going to mean sacrifices for our economies."
However, Mr. Pachauri stoutly defended his organisation, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, saying, "Giving the wide-ranging nature of change of that is likely to be taken in hand, some naturally find it inconvenient to accept its inevitability."
"The recent incident of stealing the e-mails of scientists at the University of East Anglia shows that some would go to the extent of carrying out illegal acts perhaps in the attempt to discredit the IPCC," the scientist said.
He said that the stealing of e-mails exchanged between scientists from a U.K. university indicated the extreme measures some people would adopt to deny the existence of climate change.
Mr. Pachauri defended the scientific integrity of the body as well as its contributors including the scientists caught up in the e-mail controversy.
Hackers gained access to the data of the climate research centre of the university and leaked confidential data including thousands of e-mails and documents between British and U.S. scientists over the past ten years that have led to accusations that scientists amplified the nature and scope of the manmade climate crisis.
Some of the excerpts of the e-mails posted read, "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline.
Another e-mail reads: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."
Sceptics of climate change have used these e-mails to back their case that the dangers of climate change have been wildly exaggerated on several Websites and blogs.
Keywords: Rajendra Pachauri, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climategate, hacked e-mails, University of East Anglia

Join Meir Panim's campaign to "light up" Chanukah for families in need.
Israel's transportation minister has threatened to withdraw funding for a Tel Aviv bicycle rental project if it allows the bicycles to be used on Yom Kippur.
Israel Katz said Sunday that the operating of the Tel-O-Fun project on Yom Kippur "is crossing a red line and breaking all the norms. The Tel-o-Fun project is important, but regrettably, [Tel Aviv Mayor Ron] Huldai is using it for political ends, harming the holiest day of the Jewish people."
"This is an important and successful project," Katz added, "and the Ministry of Transportation supports and even encourages the venture with budget allocations and the paving of bicycle paths. But if Huldai breaks all the rules and harms this sacred day of the Jewish people, I will cut off the ministry's aid and support for the project."
While most Jews in Israel do not drive on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, many take advantage of the empty roads to ride their bikes freely.
The program did not operate on Yom Kippur last year.
City transportation official Moshe Tiomkin told the Israeli business daily Globes that "There is no reason why, on Yom Kippur, which is our most sacred day, we should seek unnecessary conflict. Anyone who wants to ride a bicycle should use their own."
Under the holiday plan, bicycles will be rented before the start of the holiday and will be able to be returned afterward without an extra fee, so as not to offend the religious community.

Re:An abuse of the free market system. (624 comments)
As said in TFA
"While markets are supposed to ensure transparency by showing orders to everyone simultaneously, a loophole in regulations allows marketplaces like Nasdaq to show traders some orders ahead of everyone else in exchange for a fee."
The companies managing the marketplaces make money (and probably lots of it) with this method, and it's not illegal. So it's just another flaw in the marketplace system that won't be fixed just because a few "key people" exploit it and make huge piles of money.

I just switched after 15 years of Windows (542 comments)
I just switched to Ubuntu for my home computer last saturday, after 15 years of using pretty much every version of Windows. I'm not new to linux on the server-side, but very new on the desktop side.
After playing with it for a couple days, I don't see a single piece of innovation. The effects when moving the windows are neat. The package-management GUIs are useful. But that's it. There's nothing in there that isn't on other OSs. So I don't see where the innovation is.
On the other side, there are many little glitches, many little weird things that make Ubuntu (which IS the "linux Desktop" right now) not as good as Windows. Nothing important, nothing blocking, but annoyances that no other OS wouldn't fix.
For instance the fact you have to hit the "number lock" key every time you're on the "input your password" screen...there's most likely a fix for that, but then why (and how) would a basic user have to fix that ? There's more, like when you try to find out what's wrong with your sound card, or when your keyboard switches from your setting to another when you start some applications. And there's the copy-paste thing, where the copy part works great but the paste part needs you to figure out if the current app needs you to press the right or the middle button, or in a few cases ctrl-v.
The Linux Desktop is probably the greatest chance the world has to get away from MS and Apple one day, but right now, as a user, I have to say it's not ready. As 10+ years linux supporter I would love to say it is (even slightly) innovative, but it would be a lie. Right now, it can't really compete with other OSs, seeing how every app beahave in their own way. And you can't call that innovation. MS and Apple got this straight for a while now, probably because it's what matters to the user, even more than the fancy effects.

I honnestly wish I knew more about C/C++ programming, so I could have a better idea how FF interacts with the rendering engine, and of the amount of work it would be to get rid of all I would like to. I tried looking at the code a few times, but it's far from where my C/C++ knowledge stand
Re:What's next, an email client and html editor? (360 comments)
For me, it would be pretty much everything. I don't use the search field, I don't use the bookmarks, I use an online RSS reader, I don't print-preview and print web-pages, I don't use history, I don't use side-panels. I wish all this could at least be optional.
Many of FF3 features now rely on SQLite database as a data storage system. It's a great idea, it's really fast and all, but if there's a need to store data that way, for a web-browser, maybe there's too much data in the first place ?
Re:What's next, an email client and html editor? (360 comments)
I really wish someone would fork FF, remove all the crap that's been added in the last 2 years, and deliver a simple, fast and stable browser, that people could extend using extensions. Actually, I would gladly pay for a browser like this.
Am I reading it right ? (232 comments)

Yeah, lots of sense here.

HoopsHype Michael Jordan rumors
Despite denying it, Kobe Bryant considers it highly important to pass Michael Jordan's career scoring mark. So says one of Bryant's closest ex-teammates. Bryant is only 218 points from passing Jordan for third on the NBA all-time list after scoring 27 on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. "I think that he'll probably just say that it's just another milestone, but it's obvious that Jordan was somebody that Kobe idolized and looked up to," said Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw, who won three championships with the Lakers while helping mentor a barely 20-something Bryant. "I think that would be one of the things that's right up there, when you can kind of get at the same level or surpass somebody of that magnitude and somebody that you patterned your game after. Whether he says it or not, I personally feel that it would be one of his greatest accomplishments." Los Angeles Times
"I think [Jordan]'s the best player to ever play the game and the best player at the [shooting] guard position," Shaw said. "I think it's 1 and 1A or 1A and 1B — I think Kobe's the next [shooting] guard right behind him. And I don't think there's very much difference between the two. Los Angeles Times
Dwain Price: Dirk Nowitzki just joined Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant as the only players to score 27,000 points with one franchise. Twitter @DwainPrice
Dave McMenamin: League source suggested to me Kobe is making sure he passes MJ in career points while he's healthy & once he does will settle into team ball. Twitter @mcten
Rick Bonnell: Hornets owner Michael Jordan in Homestead this weekend supporting Denny Hamlin's pursuit of a NASCAR championship. Twitter @rick_bonnell
Diamond Leung: Steve Kerr on Michael Jordan before Hornets game: "We don't really stay in touch other than running into each other at occasional events." Twitter @diamond83
There were times, though, Jordan's answers weren't so matter-of-fact, when one could almost see the wheels in his head spinning madly, contemplating questions that have long followed him, to which he answered almost to himself as much as the reporter. For example, when asked about his thoughts on this year being the 30th anniversary of his rookie season, Jordan turned the magnifying glass on himself. "Do I ever have thoughts of wishing I could still play the game? Yeah," he responded. "That's human nature. But those are short thoughts until I pick up a ball or my knees start to hurt. I'm good. I'm right where I need to be." Bleacher Report
That sentiment was clear even before the lunch, when Jordan could be seen earlier that morning taking part in Hornets shootaround on the practice court inside the arena. Although he wasn't participating with the players as he did at times a couple of years ago—he's more mindful of his knees and puts more trust in the coaching staff, according to his associates—he was enjoying himself sitting on the sideline, engaged in lighthearted banter with Cho and head coach Steve Clifford. Bleacher Report
"Do I ever have thoughts of wishing I could still play the game? Yeah," he responded. "That's human nature. But those are short thoughts until I pick up a ball or my knees start to hurt. I'm good. I'm right where I need to be." Bleacher Report
So did his interaction with the media on this day, which he usually limits to the preseason and postseason. He wants the focus on his team as he works behind the scenes, much like his friend and NHL legend Mario Lemieux does as a co-owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jordan looks to reserve the bulk of his public appearances in support of the Hornets' community initiatives, as opposed to the spotlight he once dominated. "MJ rarely attends away games because he doesn't want to deal with all the rah rah," Hornets general manager Rich Cho said. Bleacher Report
A Hornets spokesperson didn't waste any time introducing the boss. "Michael's here, so we'll have him grab a seat and just open it up for questions and answers. Keep them Hornets-related as opposed to who's better: Kobe or LeBron?" That ignited Jordan's competitive juices, responding in a direct manner to make it seem like neither was on his level. "I don't know who's better," he said, as the whole room laughed. In that regard, Jordan hasn't changed. His business team explained that the boss displays a teasing and competitive sense of humor. Bleacher Report
According to Cho, in addition to being around for training camp, the trade deadline, the draft and free agency, Jordan attends about 25 home games a year. "Overall, he's very accessible," Cho said. "He even Skypes." Jordan swiveled his head to face each question. Once you had his attention, Jordan offered a distinctive, almost intimidating look when asked a question. As one started talking, his head was turned slightly away, but his eyes remained trained on the speaker, occasionally flashing just the hint of a raised eyebrow. It was a look of intrigue mixed with a sense of I've-probably-heard-this-one-before. When comfortable with the question, he gave his full attention. Jordan, ever on the alert, is well-prepared for these press gatherings. Bleacher Report
"MJ is as strong a competitor as we've ever seen but I think it took him some time to realize that he just couldn't be MJ and will things to go his way as an owner," said a rival GM who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "He knows hoops, obviously, but with the scouting, the constant evaluation of talent, the movement towards statistical analysis — running a team is a full-time job and you can't do that from the golf course. Hire good people and get out of their way. I think he's learned that." UTSanDiego
Did Kobe Bryant sense any parallels between the twilight of his career and the end of Michael Jordan's? The Washington Wizards were 37-45 and 37-45 in Jordan's last two seasons, failing to make playoffs either time. He retired in 2003 after averaging 20 points that season. He was 40. Bryant, 36, laughed at the question Thursday and initially said there were no similarities. Then he wavered. "Well, maybe. I guess," he said. Los Angeles Times
How so? "He wasn't in Chicago, playing for the same organization for all those years. It's a little different. I'm still younger than he was," Bryant said. "I can see where you guys are thinking there's similarities there. I also think it's probably reachable content at this point. I get it. So, yeah, there's similarities." The Lakers are off to their worst start since 1957 and their average margin of loss is 14.8 points. Los Angeles Times
Obama was asked in a radio interview to respond to Jordan's recent criticism that the president was a "sh**ty golfer." "I've never played with Obama, but I would," Jordan told Ahmad Rashad during an appearance on Back9Network. "But, nah, that's OK. I'll take him out. He's a hack. Man, I'd be all day playing with him." The president was not impressed, saying Jordan "wasn't very well informed about this." "There is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am," Obama told WJMR, a Wisconsin radio station. "Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case." And later ... "He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or maybe the Hornets," the president said. "But that's a whole other issue. Charlotte Observer
"If I feel like he's going the wrong way that is when I will step in, like most parents do, and say, 'Look you need to focus on this and think about that,'" Jordan said. The internal intensity and sometimes uncontrollable competitive drive undoubtedly cost Stephenson money during free agency, and he knows the Hornets can't afford the distractions on the floor. "I have to cut down on the antics," Stephenson said. "I have to do whatever it takes to stay on the floor. If I get too much into the antics and get teched out I can cost the team." USA Today Sports

Dallas Chapter Supports 2007 NCC with Golf Tournament Fundraiser for StudentsIn 2006, AITP Dallas established an annual golf tournament specifically for providing its students financial support to attend the AITP National Collegiate Conference each year as well as sponsor cash prizes awarded to the winners of the NCC competitions. In 2006, AITP Dallas raised over $4,500 which was distributed to its student chapters and the NCC.
This year, on March 22, the 2nd Annual AITP Dallas NCC Golf Classic was held at Bear Creek Golf Club in Dallas, TX. The morning tournament kicked off with 9 teams playing and enjoying a day of fun and networking. To raise additional funds, the Chapter sold Mulligan's (for you non-golfers, mulligan's are "get one shot free" when you miss a putt or drive) as well as Raffle Tickets for great prizes donated by the PGA Tour Super Store, Dallas Golf and other tournament sponsors.The players, sponsors and tournament volunteers enjoyed an Awards Banquet Luncheon directly after the tournament with a TexMex flair menu of food and drinks, and participated in a Silent Auction (more money raised) and the Awards Ceremony. Taking home first place was, for the second year in a row, the Capgemini team, led by the Chapter's Vice President, Paul Naquin. Taking 2nd place was the Technisource team and 3rd place the second Capgemini team! Individual contests included the men's longest drive taken by Don Thomas of Ajilon and women's longest drive taken by Darcy Hamby of Capgemini. Rounding out last place was none other than the AITP Dallas Immediate Past President's team, On Your Market (OYM). As immediate past president, Deborah is finally participating in AITP Dallas events as an actual attendee and welcomed an enjoyable and memorable day at AITP after 5 years of service as an officer. Her OYM team was comprised of her husband, Skip, her 25 year old stepson, Trey, and her 14 year old granddaughter, Tasha (a beginner in golf). Her team was honored to receive the "Most Challenged Team" Award presented by the Chapter's 2007 president, Craig Bowie, and is now placed in her offices among other AITP Dallas awards.Special recognition of sponsors during the Awards Banquet was given to the golf classic Platinum Sponsors, Robert Half Technology and PGA Tour Super Stores, who each donated $2,500, as well as to the Silver Sponsor, True Solutions Inc. who donated $1,000. Sponsors of golf gloves, raffle gifts and goodie bag items included Dallas Golf, AvidGolfer, PGA Fore Texas, Bass Pro Shops (yes, the carry golf items), and Precept.Special thanks are extended to all the event volunteers: Bill Fly, Marvin Cox, Ray Gilliam, Diana Rockel, and Amy Lopes.The net results for the 2007 Golf Classic: Proceeds of $4,000 distributed to the Dallas Chapter's students attending the NCC and to the NCC for cash prizes to the competition winners.Looks like the AITP Dallas Annual NCC Golf Classic is a Win/Win: a "fun raiser" for players and a "fund raiser" for the students and NCC!See you in Memphis with the net results of the 3rd Annual Golf Classic next year

Kimber is awesome. We purchased a new construction and was told there was no need for a realtor. Kimber proved to be in valuable. Our process was long and difficult. She not only helped us understand the processing but she was there to listen when we just needed to talk. She is very knowledgeable and stays invested from start to finish. I have already given her name to a few friends looking for a realtor.

Ratings & Reviews
Kimber was a pleasure to work with and made the process of selling our home a breeze! She is extremely knowledgable and responded to our questions/concerns very promptly. Would definitely use her again in the future for our real estate needs!
Kimber was very patient with us for over a year as we looked for the perfect house within the budget we could afford. She stuck with us through multiple offers and negotiations and never pushed us to purchase a home. It is obvious that Kimber just wants her customers to get the home they want.
Kimber works very very hard to make sure her customers know what is on the market and she is willing to research even deeper into a home of interest.
I would recommend her to anyone - she is positive, dedicated, and genuine.
Kimber was pleasure to work with. Kimber started helping me to find a home almost 2 months before I arrived in Georgia. Not an easy task from 2400 miles away. She was relentless in her pursuit to find the home I was looking for. One month after arriving in Georgia I was in my new home. Kimber handled everything. All I had to do was sign on the dotted line and move in. I could not have had a better relocating experience. I highly recommend Kimber.
Simply stated...Kimber is the best. We re-located from another state. She handled every detail and kept us informed every step of the way. An excellent communicator. The highest compliment may have come from the seller's agent who has consistently been a top producer. He described Kimber as ''professional'' and ''tenacious''. We highly recommend her.
Kimber was wonderful to work with. Not only is she professional, but she is passionate about finding a home that best fits a buyer's needs. I would definitely recommended her to anyone who is looking for an agent in the Savannah area.
Kimber is an awesome agent. We would highly recommend her.
We were relocating from another state and had a short-time frame in which we needed to purchase a home on a small budget. We found a few homes we were interested in on Zillow and contacted Kimber with questions. She called us that same day and offered her assistance. We are so incredibly greatful she did.
We could have not asked for a better agent. Kimber was extremely helpful. We were first time home buyers and didn't have a clue about the home buying process. She fully understood the whole process and took the time to answer all our questions. With Kimber's help we were able to purchase a beautiful home within our short time frame and within our budget.
Thank You so very much Kimber.
Very informative.She kept me updated on every single step of the process. If I called with a question and she didn't know, she would find out and get back in touch with me. Suggested an excellent lender and home inspector. I would refer Kimber to anyone in the market for a home.
Kimber Fulton is without a doubt one of the best buyer's agent there is! Not only is she dedicated to getting the best property and price for her buyers, she is patient and enthusiastic throughout the entire purchasing process. If a road block appears, Kimber does whatever it takes to overcome it. She is extremely responsive and the best the Savannah real estate region has to offer!
Kimber was such a huge help in helping me find and purchase my first home. She fully understood what my needs were and my taste. Her understanding allowed her to find me a home in less than 1 week. She is not pushy and doesn't want to help you find something you won't be happy with so she takes the added time to make sure you are satisfied before writing up a contract.
I had a few request that were some what out of the ordinary and Kimber wasted no time fulfilling my request. She flexed her schedule to suit my schedule and i appreciate that.
If she doesn't know any answers to your questions personally she does know someone who can answer them.
Thanks again Kimber I Love my new home

Football: Messi may not start Barca's showdown with Atletico
Published on Jan 11, 2014 6:24 AM
BARCELONA (REUTERS) - Leaders Barcelona have yet to decide if Lionel Messi will play from the start in Saturday's top of the table La Liga clash at Atletico Madrid.
The brilliant Argentine forward made an instant impact when he came on for the last 30 minutes of the midweek King's Cup tie against Getafe after being out for almost two months with a hamstring injury.
Messi grabbed two goals in the 4-0 win but coach Gerardo Martino is not sure if second-placed Atletico will represent too tough a 90-minute test.
"He looks fine and had a phenomenal 30 minutes in the Cup but he returned after a long time out and the question is whether he is now ready to play a full game at this level," Martino told reporters on Friday.

DIRECTV Strengthens Commitment To TV Everywhere Platform Through New Partnership With FreeWheel
DIRECTV continues to make great strides toward evolving its DIRECTV Everywhere service, with a new digital video ad insertion solution developed in partnership with FreeWheel, the industry's leading video advertising technology provider.
Through the new partnership, DIRECTV is investing in a core component of the TV everywhere ecosystem, creating a new revenue stream for the platform, which allows customers to access the most popular TV shows and movies anytime, anywhere and on any device.
DIRECTV, its programming partners and advertisers will now be able to reach customers through the big screen and on mobile devices to create a sustainable advertising model on digital platforms. FreeWheel, which helps companies profitably manage advertising and operations across multiple devices, will play a key role in DIRECTV's design and implementation of their digital ad insertion service scheduled to launch later this year.
"We are constantly looking for new ways to grow our DIRECTV Everywhere platform with the best and most recent content available from top programmers," said Tony Goncalves, senior vice president, Digital Entertainment Products, DIRECTV.

The compact 6604 and 6605 systems integrate 600 x 600 dpi copying, scanning and printing with an easy-to-use interface to ensure crisp, accurate image quality on jobs such as emergency services maps, electrical wiring diagrams or construction plans. An on-board color scanner allows for hard copy documents to be scanned to electronic files or can copy existing prints of varying sizes, including the most common wide-format size drawings, E and A0 documents.
The new printers can produce up to five D or A1 (24″ x 36″) size images per minute. Users can select a two-roll paper option for greater printing capacity. The 15-inch color touch screen and intuitive user interface make them easy to operate, even for users that don't have familiarity with wide format printers.
"What sets these products apart are the simple graphical user interface, high-quality output and modular approach, which make it easy for customers to add features and capacity as needs change," said Tim Greene, director of wide-format and jetting technologies at InfoTrends, a leading market research and consulting firm in the digital imaging and document solutions industry.
The printers are equipped with the FreeFlow Accxes Print Server – allowing customers to preview scans and simultaneously print, copy and scan-to-file with select options. Other new features include:
• Closed loop color calibration – improves the color matching between the scanner and printer to ensure the color accuracy of color copies made.
• Queue management – allows greater job control based on the customer needs.
• Addition of a compact Gera Butterfly folder – an in-line device that automates the folding process while the solution prints and scans.
The Xerox 6604 and 6605 Solutions will be available in the Middle East from 2010 and an upgrade to a color scanner for current Xerox 6204 Wide Format Solution customers will also be available.

Beyonce Knowles' Beach Body is Well-Guarded
No, it wasn't her husband Jay-Z who walked beside her, but five huge security guards.
Not everyone gets to enjoy private moments on the beach.
Why all the muscle? Hasn't the busy Renaissance woman proven she can handle herself, at least in music videos?
It seems five bodyguards is the cost of doing business when you're a huge icon.
But if Jay-Z wants to get on that baby train, he's going to have to pry Beyoncé away from her security detail.

Slate's Culturebox: Stop Blogging and Get to Work
More at Slate.com
Could blogging be a distraction for serious writers? Blogger Sarah Hepola thinks so — she had hoped blogging would help her write a book, but it kept her from writing a book instead. Hepola wrote about her experience for Slate, and offers a commentary about giving up her blog.
Copyright © 2006 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Ms. SARAH HEPOLA (Commentator, Slate Magazine): One morning last month I woke early, finished a book I'd been reading and shut down my blog.
CHADWICK: Freelance writer Sarah Hepola had been writing that blog since before most of us even knew what a blog was. Sarah wrote about her decision to stop blogging in the online magazine Slate. Her commentary is adapted from the article.
Ms. HEPOLA: I'd kept the blog for nearly five years, using it as a repository for personal anecdotes and travelogues and the occasional flight of fiction; all of which I hoped eventually might lead to a novel. And then somewhere between the bed sheets and 6 a.m., I realized something. Blogging wasn't helping me write; it was keeping me from writing.
I started the blog, thinking no one would read it and secretly hoping they would. The blog was the perfect bluff for a self-conscious writer like me who yearned for the spotlight and then squinted in its glare. When I needed to pretend that people were reading, I could. When I needed to pretend that nobody was reading, I could.
Blogging became the ideal run-up to a novel, but it also became a major distraction. I would sit down to start on my book, only to come up with five different blog entries. I thought of them as a little something-something to whet the palate, because it was easier, more immediately gratifying. Because I could write it, and post it, and people would say nice things about it, and I could go to bed feeling accomplished. But then I would wake without any progress on the novel.
I couldn't help but notice, even my cat couldn't help but notice, the growing number of successful bloggers-turn-novelists. They were sexy, dishy women with pseudonyms, like Wonkette and Opinionista. I was starting to feel like the only one left in the blogosphere without a book deal. Actually, agents and editors did contact me after reading my blog. At the time, I was living in Dallas, and to be emailed by an actual New York agent felt like the 21st-century equivalent of being discovered at the mall.
The emails were flattering. But ultimately they all asked the same annoying question. Have you written a book? Apparently, this was a requirement. When I told them I hadn't yet, they moved on to the next blogger with potential, and I was left back in the mall where they'd found me. Every once in a while, those agents would check to ask how that book was coming. And the book wasn't coming, and wasn't coming. And I became one of those people who talk about a book but never write it.
I had shelves lined with other people's prose, while my best efforts were buried on a website somewhere, underneath a lot of blah-blah about American Idol and my kitty cat. So I stopped writing the blog. I suspect I'll come back to it eventually. It will be something I quit on occasion, like whiskey or melted cheese, when the negative effects outweigh the benefits. Now, if I can just turn off the TV, I think I can finally get started on the novel.
CHADWICK: Sarah Hepola is a writer living in New York. Here's part of what she wrote in her final blog entry last month.
(Reading) This will be like losing a traveling companion. Those moments when you turn your head, bristling to share a thought with the person beside you, only to discover no one is there. But I like that I am ending at another jumping-off point. A child of '80s episodic TV, I've always appreciated a cliffhanger. The problem with cliffhangers, of course, is that they require a proper resolution. Now I have to figure out what happens next.

BOSTON, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Manhattan Cross Cultural Group, founded by Drs. Joseph Betancourt, Alex Green and J. Emilio Carrillo - three physician thought-leaders in the field of cross-cultural care - have created an on-line CME-accredited cultural competency training course called Quality Interactions(R) that meets the requirements set forth by NJ Bill SB144. This bill requires all physicians in the state of New Jersey to complete six hours of cultural competency training as a condition for licensure to practice medicine.
Quality Interactions(R) is built on a nationally recognized, cross-cultural curriculum published by Drs. Betancourt, Green and Carrillo in the Annals of Internal Medicine (Cross-Cultural Primary Care: A Patient-Based Approach. Ann Intern Med. 1999; 130:829-834). Rather than memorizing facts about a multitude of cultural or ethnic groups, the patient-based approach centers on the idea that patients themselves are your best source of information about their own unique cultural perspectives. Quality Interactions(R) teaches a set of fundamental concepts and skills that are essential for physicians to provide more efficient and effective care to patients of all cultural backgrounds.
Quality Interactions(R) is built with e-learning technology, which is time-flexible and allows the physician to move at his/her own pace, at a time that is convenient for them. In addition, it provides personalized, real-time performance feedback, as well as a summary of key concepts at the conclusion of the program. The Quality Interactions(R) program has been utilized to train over 20,000 health care professionals around the country. "As busy practicing physicians ourselves, we know that no one likes to be required to do more work. We developed this e-learning program as a way to make the task of cultural competence training not only interesting and clinically relevant, bu

Katy Perry Gets Her Own Weird Lullaby
The 24-year-old rapper is not exactly known for his slumber-inducing tracks. Turnt-up songs? Definitely. Turned-down tunes? Erm, not so much. "Katy Perry," the so-called lullaby Perry is so enamored with, really has nothing to do with the pop star aside from BasedGod asking his audience to call him Katy Perry. He also casually applauds "all the girls that kiss girls" referring to Perry's breakout single "I Kissed A Girl."
Sure, Perry might count her sheep to nightmarish soundtracks featuring demonic whispers of her name, but, for us, "Hush, Little Baby" seems to do the trick most nights. Sweet dreams, y'all.
