Update : Jan. 26, 2005
TSE began accepting applications for its lead managing securities companies on October 26. After a careful review of all applications, it was announced at the Board of Directors Meeting on December 21 that Daiwa Securities Group, Inc., Nikko Citigroup Limited, and Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. were chosen as lead managing securities companies.
Because transparency, impartiality, and fairness were essential in this matter, quantitative factors such as past performance as well as quantitative factors such as proposals for the public offering were assigned points, and selection was made based upon overall scores.
These changes are based on the outline titled "Changes to securities regulations to heighten trust of corporate information" released on November 16.
Additionally, based on opinions received during our public comment period, we have decided to alter two points of the outline previously released. The first of these points is the written oath regarding timely disclosure. In order to prevent the oath from being a simple formality and to enable investors to understand how listed companies are tackling timely disclosure, listed companies will be required to attach documents detailing company framework related to timely disclosure. Companies will also agree to make sincere efforts to enhance company structure and procedures in their stance toward timely disclosure to investors. The second point is the written confirmation of the adequacy of financial reports. As with the written oath, in order to prevent this confirmation from being a simple formality and to enable investors to understand how heads of companies concluded that the reports include no false information, companies will be required to submit a document detailing the process and reasons that heads of companies used to arrive at that conclusion.
These changes will be implemented January 1.
Since February 2004 TSE has made corporate action information posted on TDNet is available for browsing in real-time on the TSE homepage.
This information became available as a result of a public measure in insider trading regulations. This measure took the place of the established "12 Hour Rule" and newly required that such information be on the homepages of self-regulatory organizations. TSE uses the browsing service to offer information disclosed on TDNet to a broad range of investors in a prompt manner.
Up until now such information on the TSE website was available for seven days. However, to improve service to investors, we have decided to extend this period to 30 days (including the day of release).
Additionally, with the aim of making the homepage easy to use for investors, part of the way in which the information is displayed will be upgraded.
This extension is scheduled to begin in late January.
As part of TSE's measures to expand its corporate governance function, TSE will introduce a compliance program on January 1, 2005 . This program a method to ensure proper management by raising employee awareness of regulations related to TSE's business activities and compliance with company rules as well as allowing effective internal control.
There are three main pillars to this compliance program.
The first is the establishment of a charter of corporate behavior. TSE implemented this out of its determination to aim to be an open company that declares both inside and outside the company its fundamental policies of behavior as a corporation as well as clearly outlines its stance of emphasizing the viewpoint of investors.
The second pillar of the program is the development of company infrastructure. The two parts of this infrastructure are the appointment of President Tsurushima as the official responsible for compliance, and the establishment of a compliance hotline to handle reports and inquiries.
Education and training comprise the third pillar of the program. Concretely speaking, in order to maintain a high awareness of compliance among TSE employees, TSE will take such measures such as holding regular employee training programs, following up on the usage of the compliance hotline, appointing a person in each department responsible for compliance, and hold other programs to raise compliance awareness within each department.
The charter of corporate behavior will not end with implementation, but rather will be adapted regularly to meet the demands of changes in social conditions and eras.

Sweet Genius Surprises to Come in Season 3
by Guest Blogger in Shows, October 18th, 2012By Ron Ben-Israel, contributions by Kate Kenny and Nikki Junda
In this new season of Sweet Genius, the chefs I invited into my kitchen really raised the bar with unusual techniques and inspired flavor combinations. Candied vegetables? Champagne candies? Pizza dough Rocher? Why not.
The path to genius is never ordinary.
And speaking of unusual techniques, smoking ingredients isn't just for barbecue anymore. Some of the chefs in my kitchen found imaginative applications for my smoke machine in their desserts. My palate will never be the same.
The competition is fierce and so are my inspirations. Find out what wild new wonders I have in store for the chefs this season. It will be anything but tame.
Being a pastry chef is hard work, but when I'm in the kitchen I like to have fun too. Tune in this season to find out what inspired me to wear a tutu and red nose.
New Season Premieres Thursday, October 18 at 10pm/9c.

Oh My, I pay my cable bill, never late always on time, Food Network? What Food Network, who are they kidding, I will miss Season 3 Sweet Genius. It was supposed to be tonight on the Food Network but my cable company obviously has something else up their sleeves , a bunch of rats. Sorry, people, on sweet genius a very unhappy fan, good luck to all the contestants.
Looking forward to this very unique and inspiring show. Oh and can never forget the fabulous Ron Ben-Israel!
This has to be my favorite show! I just love Chef Ron!
I love Sweet Genius, but I often wonder why when Chef Ron is about to anounce: … and your inspiration:
"Chef Ron Ben-Israel", because he's an inspiration for sure. -
We are a bunch of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community. Your web site provided us with valuable information to paintings on. You have done an impressive job and our entire community will be grateful to you.
We just recently came upon this show and love Chef Ron Ben-Israel! His own desserts show pure artistry. In view of that, we just could not get over why he did not comment on the presentation or, shall we say terrible presentation, of many of the desserts submitted for his tasting. We watched the "turkey" eposide and watched in horror as one of the contestant's submissions repetedly looked like brown glop. They should have been embarrased to submit such messes to someone like Chief Ron Ben-Israel.
Thank you, Food Network, for giving us a competition judge who is genuinely likeable. He doesn't tell the contestants to "bring their A game" or remind them repeatedly that they have to work for the $10K that is a fraction of what he is making. No, he encourages them, even when they lose, and says positive things when they deserve it. This makes us all feel better about risks we take in the kitchen.
i really want to know how the CAKE THAT WASNT A CAKE was made,,it was the final for Magic Genius and they said it looks like a cake acts like a cake but was not a cake,,I WANT TO KNOW THE RECIPE for THAT!! i have GOT to try it,,
i too would love to get it also!!
please give your recipe for carrot cake that you videoed on dec. 9th at ll:30…thank you
and where can i get the towel that you put around the cake pan to create an even top-
I am looking for the recipe as well

Cyclin D-Cdk4/6 and cyclin A/E-Cdk2 are suggested to be involved in phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRB) during the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. However, it is unclear why several Cdks are needed and how they are different from one another. We found that the consensus amino acid sequence for phosphorylation by cyclin D1-Cdk4 is different from S/T-P-X-K/R, which is the consensus sequence for phosphorylation by cyclin A/E-Cdk2 using various synthetic peptides as substrates. Cyclin D1-Cdk4 efficiently phosphorylated the G1 peptide, RPPTLS780PIPHIPR that contained a part of the sequence of pRB, while cyclins E-Cdk2 and A-Cdk2 did not. To determine the phosphorylation state of pRB in vitro and in vivo, we raised the specific antibody against phospho-Ser780 in pRB. We confirmed that cyclin D1-Cdk4, but not cyclin E-Cdk2, phosphorylated Ser780 in recombinant pRB. The Ser780 in pRB was phosphorylated in the G1 phase in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that pRB phosphorylated at Ser780 cannot bind to E2F-1 in vivo. Our data show that cyclin D1-Cdk4 and cyclin A/E Cdk2 phosphorylate different sites of pRB in vivo.

Top 10 Nutrition Misconceptions
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, August 18, 2011
You may not realize it, but every day you make unconscious decisions about how you eat. Some healthy and some not-so-healthy. We're revealing the top nutrition misconceptions people have and the truth behind the myths.
#1: You can never eat "junk" food
Some folks religiously stay away from all chocolate bars, chips, candy, cookies, cakes and other foods that are categorized as "junk". They'll skip the slice of birthday cake or a trip to the ice cream store with their kids. But food is part of our social nature and should be enjoyed. These types of foods can be part of a healthy eating plan. Knowing how to stay in control of your cravings and eating these foods sensibly is the trick.
#2: You should purchase a food because it claims to be "natural"
The term "natural" is so loosely defined by the government that you'll find it on everything from cereal boxes to soda to packages of meat. You're better off ignoring the word on any package and taking the time to read through the ingredients and nutrition information. Don't be fooled into believing that natural means healthy.
#3: You should eat flax to get your omega-3 fix
Flax is a great source of fiber, but isn't the best source of omega-3s around. There are several types of omega-3 fats, with some more potent than others. The omega-3s found in plants like flax seeds is known as the ALA type. The other types known as EPA and DHA are found in fatty fish like salmon, sardines and tuna and provide many of the omega-3 benefits you read about. If you're sprinkling ground flax on your food to get your omega-3 fix, you're probably not getting nearly enough.
#4: If you exercise, you can eat whatever you want
Think you can indulge in a super high-in-fat treat after hitting the gym? Once you take a look at these numbers, you'll see what we're talking about. In order to "make up" for an order of large fries, you'd need to swim laps for an hour. Perhaps your guilty pleasure is a slice of pepperoni pizza? Let's hope you jogged for 30 minutes at a medium pace. To keep your weight in check, balance out physical activity with your calorie intake.
#5: You can't eat late at night
Making the blanket statement that "I can't eat after 8pm" isn't always the smartest choice. You may have had a hectic day and not enough time to eat your dinner at 6pm, does that mean you should skip it completely? The blanket statement doesn't really apply to all people, schedules and lifestyles. If you do find yourself hungry at night, here are a few healthier snack options you may want to consider.
#6: You must drink 8 cups of water each day
Stop worrying about the numbers and listen to your body! Some folks may need more than 8 cups while other may need less. Many forget that foods like fruits and vegetables also contribute to our overall fluid needs (as does juice, soda and even coffee). Find out more about how much water you really need and the best sources in our previous post.
#7: It's important to buy organic food whenever possible
There's no need to spend your hard-earned money on every organic food out there (especially in this economy). If you're trying to cut back on your pesticide intake, take a peek at the Environment Working Group's list of the most contaminated produce (a.k.a. The Dirty Dozen), and spend your organic dollar there. Eating locally-grown foods is also a cheaper alternative. Many local farmers cannot afford the costs of being certified organic but follow the same practices.
#8: You must take a multivitamin every day
Taking supplements can be a slippery slope if you don't do your research. One of the most common supplements that folks think is a must is a multivitamin. Although they may seem harmless, you need to look at the entire picture — how much of each vitamin is present? Does the multivitamin contain herbs too? Do you take other medications or supplements? Talking to your doctor or registered dietitian is a smart idea to be sure a multivitamin is right for you.
#9: Wheat and whole wheat bread is the same thing
All "wheat" is not created equal. Look for "100% whole wheat" on the label to make sure you're getting the healthier parts of the whole grain. You'll find that wheat bread contains much less fiber than 100% whole wheat bread. So be sure to read the label carefully before buying.
Need more tips for buying healthy bread? Check out our previous post on whole grain bread and see how your favorite brand stacked up in our taste test.
#10: If you're following a healthy eating plan, that means you can't eat any of your favorite foods
Healthy and tasty go hand in hand. Think you can't deliciously make over favorites like lasagna, chili, pasta salad, baked beans, and fried chicken– think again! There are a few tricks of the trade you can pick up at HealthyEats and use in your own kitchen. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

payday loan
United States
Member since November 04, 2011
In the present high paced world to provide a source the cost of living, will it be any wonder that numerous people speak to financial crises sometimes and want this short term payday cash advance regardless if they have bad credit history?
It might be as easy as a toned tire ahead of payday or a medical emergency such as a broken bone or sprained joint. You arrived at determine that you don't have enough. Or simply the needs you have certainly are a much more long run, for instance a home or auto repair, or perhaps an unplanned trip. Therefore you find you merely do not have sufficient to afford it, and what is more, you either have set to their maximum bank cards or you will don't need a credit card, significantly less credit.
The correct answer is short term loans. There are numerous kinds of signature loans in today's market. Even when you have less-than-perfect credit, it's plausible to get a thing that is adequate.
Unsecured loans are only extensions of credit where no borrower's assets are employed secure collateral for your debtor or loan agent. Instead, funding may be guaranteed for the commitment of a potential payment like is the case with payday loans and certain kinds of credit cards. The sole drawback can be associated fees or more interest rates. However, whenever you actually need the amount of money, it could be worthwhile.
Kinds of Unsecured Loans
Payday cash advances:
It is a get a payday loan within the commitment of repaying the next paycheck to your lender. These often carry high fees and even rate of interest either while in the initial installment, or retroactive if your repayment is not secured from your next payday. These financing options are great for a 1 time emergency, once in a while. Our prime fees get them to be low number of just the thing for long time solutions or for repeat users. The good news, the credit is usually secured with only a signature, some paystubs, and it is deposited usually within 24 hours. Loan amounts changes from a couple of hundred dollars to with regards to a thousand dollars.
A credit card:
Most cards require how the borrower have how to get a payday loan. And plenty of offer very low rates of interest and also few fees. However, when you have low credit score, there are some choices available, many cards are absolute to be active the day after. These people have a few negative points though. If there is a bad credit score, you might be forced to pay a monthly user fee coupled with exorbitant rates of interest along with other fees. Additionally, the charge card could possibly have a remarkably small limit.
Bank Over-Drafts:
These are generally precisely what they be understood as. When you've got automatic payments through your bank account build, or have ever written a lot of checks, that bank may extend credit for your requirements in the event the amount can be quite small, say under a couple dollars. They can charge a fee based on a clear institutional contract. Bank overdraft can also include payment from the debt itself in good faith you'll deposit money in the near future to repay the debt.
Wage advance:
These kind of unsecured temporary loans might be secured directly through your banking institution. Usually precisely what is required is 3-4 months or higher of direct deposit of one's regular paycheck from your employer. You will discover usually little, if any fees related to this. Many times the fees are deducted for your next payday with the volume of an original advance. These may be risky if you loose your work, or your paycheck has a smaller footprint that recent direct deposits. The banking institution will automatically withdraw the credit amount regardless of the with each payday it is not paid can lead to another overdraft fee together with interest plus the advancement fees.

The problem
The WFS 1.1 allows for multiple key generation strategies, and asks the server to implement at least one: "A specific web feature service implementation must support one of these methods of assigning features identifiers to new feature instances and may support all methods".
The methods are:
- GenerateNew (default): the web feature service shall generate unique identifiers for all newly inserted feature instances.
- UseExisting: in response to an <Insert> operation, a web feature service shall use the gml:id attribute values on inserted features and elements. If any of those IDs duplicates the ID of a feature or element already stored in the WFS, the WFS shall raise an exception.
- ReplaceDuplicate: a WFS client can request that the WFS generate IDs to replace the input values of gml:id attributes of feature elements that duplicate the ID of a feature or element already stored in the WFS, instead of raising an exception, by setting the idgen attribute of the InsertElementType to the value "ReplaceDuplicate"
Our current support
This is less how FID are managed by our current datastore. I made an informal review, feel free to correct my findings:
Datastore | FID handling | Idgen supported |
JDBC data stores (Postgis, Mysql, Hsql, DB2, Oracle) | FidMapper framework.
| Depending on the fid mapper, UseExisting (single and multicolumn) or GenerateNew (single and multicolumn may work when the column is shown in the feature type, and will work with increment ones). |
Shapefile | Reading, FID is the row number, during writing whatever is in the FID is ignored, only order is imporant. | GenerateNew |
ArcSDE | ArcSdeFeatureWriter seems to ignore the FID for new features, and uses whatever FID it produced for updating existing features. There's no control over feature id apparently. | GenerateNew |
MifDataStore | FID is ignored during writing (MIFFile.Writer, line 1748) | GenerateNew |
PropertyDataStore | Uses whatever ID has been assigned to features, no ID generation going on apparently? | UseExisting |
GMLDataStore | No write support, so it doesn't apply. | GenerateNew |
TigerDataStore | Hmm... does not provide a writer, on its own, so I guess it's read only | |
VPFDataStore | Same as above | |
WFSDataStore | Hum.... does not provide a feature writer, so I guess it's read only as well |
There's no generic way to tell the above from the data stores.
A way could have been to try and write the feature as is, and check back the fid to see if it has been assigned or if an error occurs, but in some datastore the generated fid won't be seen until closing the transaction and re-reading the features (shapefile for example).
So no luck, it seems we need some in-deep Geotools change in any meaningful way.
What about a new method for the datastore that looks like:
Code Block |
isIdGenSupported(String featureTypeName, int idGenStrategy) |
where the strategy is a list of the 3 modes?
The downside is this seems quite ad hoc, what we're really missing is a support for capabilities advertising in datastores (and this one would be one of the capabilities).
A few notes on FID mappers
Depending on the FID mapper we may support one but not the others, and support may vary depending on how the FidMapper itself is configured.
- GenerateNew works with auto-generated primary keys (sequences, serials), and were the primary key is provided by the user and mapped among the attributes (so we look into the feature attribute and we can "generate" the fid
- UseExisting works only with SimpleFidMapper and MulticolumnFidMapper. If we try to use this with sequence based values, we are going to face trouble now or when the sequence reaches the selected value. (we could update the sequence to the value next to the biggest inserted, but that's a recipe for disaster since we mayend up very near to the sequence overflow).
- ReplaceDuplicate does not really work with any datastore/fidmapper in the case were an actual replacement is needed afaik. Unless we create a new kind of fid mapper that uses big strings and a GUID generator. That may work for JDBC data stores, but it's really ugly IMHO...
Actions to solve this problem
Have datastores advertise their FID management capabilities and support at least one method (the other possible solution would have been to check IDs after the fact and make sure they did match with the request, but unfortunately WFS allows generated IDs to be checked only after the transaction is complete).

You'll need:
Two slices whole wheat bread.
Crapload of turkey meat, white or dark your choice.
Four slices thick-cut pepper bacon.
Three slices fresh tomato, seeds removed.
Couple nice big pieces of Romaine lettuce.
Mayo (the real stuff).
Gulden's mustard (nothing else will do here).
Kosher salt & pepper.
The order is important — you don't want the sammich getting soggy. So, mayo on one slice of bread, mustard on the other. Put the lettuce on the side with the mayo. Put the tomatoes on top of the lettuce, add some salt & pepper to the tomatoes, then finish with the turkey, then the bacon. And the mustard slice of bread on top. Squish down and bite in.
Yeah, that's been breakfast, lunch, and dinner for almost two days now.
UPDATE: I'm giving serious thought to attempting a layer of rare roast beef on top of the bacon. Science says it can't be done, so wish me luck.

OK, after two days of eating various combinations turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and bread, I was ready to take a rest today and focus on green leafies and other veggies.
Then I read your post and realized that I have everything you describe in my kitchen (well, the bacon isn't peppered, but it is thick-sliced), with at least one addition: ripe avocados.
OK, tomorrow I'll stick to veggies. ..bruce..

Oh, and to make things worse (or, more accurately, better), I also have some leftover baby portabello mushrooms — no, not for the sandwich (they'd just fall out) but to saute in the bacon grease once the bacon is done cooking (I've already started it).
Oh, man, I'm in trouble. Thanks a lot, Steve. ..bruce..

Lightly toasting the bread solves the potential sogginess problem, makes the sandwich more structurally sound when you really start to pile things up, and adds some nice firm texture to balance out all of the squishy stuff in the middle.
And I have to agree with "arhooley:" removing the tomato seeds is kinda silly. They don't bite back. I promise. Of course, that's assuming your tomatoes are fresh and firm (no, that's *not* an innuendo – this time). "bfwebster's" suggestion of ripe avocado has significant merit as well – I'd use that instead of mayo, but that's just me.

Arhooley & Scandi –
I've nothing against tomato seeds & juice. Whenever we've got really good tomatoes, I just stand over the sink and eat'em.
But the ones you get this time of year have too much juice and too little flesh, and I *hate* soggy bread.

I did toast the bread, and I didn't remove the tomato seeds (not that there were many to remove; mine were more flesh than seeds). I did have fresh smashed avocado — on the mustard slice (actually worked quite well). Didn't have Guilden's mustard; used a stoneground horseradish mustard instead. Didn't have Romaine; used iceberg. Had two sandwiches, plus the mushrooms sauteed in the leftover bacon grease.
Burp. But it's a happy burp. A contented burp. Great recommendation, Steve. ..bruce..

In the interest of peer review, we need photos of said sandwich.
We did our turkey day in Canada in October. Next one is at Christmas so I have to try this.
Anyone know where to get Guilden's in Alberta?

Hail Steve and all other Gastronomic Explorers making it safe for future navigators of the Alimentary Canal. Further Research is needed in these important Recyclables. Perhaps some Federal Stimulous Money is available to help fund your research which has real world applications. Talk about Shovel Ready, I'm about ready to shovel one of the above described variations.
Bravo Steve abd to all your Colleages Bravo

Whole wheat? For post-Thanksgiving? No, no, no. Sourdough–but only from a real bakery (Panera Bread need not apply, thank you very much), and certainly not toasted.
And as your (Southern) wife should have told you, no post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich is complete without sweet pickles.

Needs potato chips (Your choice, I like Utz salt and vinegar) between the meat and the veggies.

Since turkey day here was done at one of the outlaws, no leftovers for moi, well, except for pies as the wife-unit is the official holiday piesmith for the family. Pecan, pumpkin and mince, oh my!
A most excellent flied lice from a local hole in the wall cat abattoir that we've been patronized for decades was the food of choice the day after.
Pizza from the local shop that the daughter works at provided the comestibles yesterday.
And a local Messkin joint did the dirty deed today. Celebrate diversity.
I am thinking a slab of Virginia ham would be just the ticket on that sammich, kind of a variation on a cordon bleu theme

MMMM – good sandwich Stephen! Share. As for mayo – converted to Duke's Mayonnaise ever since moving south of the Mason Dixon Line. That is some good mayo. And I never cared for mayo before!

Well, you have most of the sandwich right….just add the beef and yank the turkey! Then you are on track to good eating….sort of a modified BLT! For Duchess and I we enjoy the 7-seed sprouted bread with our sandwiches as I find bread has taken on a new importance in sandwichland!
By the way….we (I) got in touch with our "Tito's" vodka fix through a post on your site. Now it is standard fare at our Tampa Elks Lodge, and we keep a BIG bottle in the freezer at home for those "special" martinis…..we use NO additions to the Tito's except some ice…..why spoil a perfect drink!

The Purchaser's Worst Excuse...
...And A Strategy That Ensures You'll Never Make It Again
PurchTips - Edition # 28
By Charles Dominick
Do these conversations sound familiar?
Conversation #1
Your boss: Did you finish that report yet?
You: No, I've been too busy.
Conversation #2
Your internal customer: Did you find a component supplier for my project yet?
You: No, I haven't had the time.
Conversation #3
Your purchasing peer: Did you take that negotiation class yet?
You: No, I'm too busy.
If these conversations sound familiar, you have been guilty of using The Purchaser's Worst Excuse: "I'm too busy" or its close cousin "I don't have time." You may say: "These aren't lame excuses. I AM too busy and I DON'T have time!" But the problem is that more than just your words are being communicated in a conversation.
When you say "I'm too busy," you may feel vindicated. But how does your conversation partner feel? If you think that they sympathize with you, you're dead wrong. What if your conversation partner had these thoughts?
Conversation #1: "This employee isn't as talented as I thought."
Conversation #2: "This purchasing agent doesn't care about my efforts."
Conversation #3: "I thought she cared about her career. I guess not."
Is this what you really want to communicate? Didn't think so.
Let's face it: the pace of business isn't getting any slower. It never will. In five years, you'll look back and wish you had all the spare time you have today.
So the solution is not to wait for the pace to slow down. The solution is to get better at handling today's demands. And changing your mindset is really all you have to do.
The solution lies in these 4 words...
The next time you're tempted to use The Purchaser's Worst Excuse, as you're saying "I'm too busy," imagine yourself saying "I'm not efficient enough." You won't like thinking it. So, you'll push yourself to be more efficient and make better use of the time that you do have. You'll find ways to accomplish more in less time. And you'll quit using the Excuse forever. Try it. It WORKS!

98% of our thinking seems active because it's always trying to work out some problem, or plan some pleasure (to get away from a problem). Seen aright, such thinking is really just a string of associated thoughts; they are the passive effect of a mind that never stops bothering itself in its struggle to protect itself from what it has imagined is at risk. But, when we will be present to ourselves, quietly watchful of the relationship that is always unfolding in the Presence moment, then we have no more need to prepare for what life will bring to us than a newly opened rose needs ready itself for the warmth of the sun that comes to release its fragrance.

I've been watching the Orlando Magic since 1993. I've seen the Magic get close to winning a championship in two different seasons. First in 1995 with Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway, then in 2009 with Dwight Howard. To witness my hometown team — the only sports team I have an emotional investment in — fail to reach their ultimate goal is frustrating. I can only imagine what other Magic fans were going through when Nick Anderson missed those four free-throws or Courtney Lee missed that incredibly difficult alley-oop layup or Jameer Nelson didn't properly close out on Derek Fisher. However, through all that pain and suffering, I know that the odds of me being alive to see Orlando eventually win a title are good. Why?
Because I'm 24 years old. I've been fortunate to be blessed with good health and that's something I'll never take for granted.
Now imagine you're Rich DeVos. This is you're 21st season owning the Magic. You have been at the forefront of everything. You've been through the ups and downs of being a professional sports owner. But most importantly, you're 85 years old and in the midst of dealing with a scenario in which your franchise megastar wants to be traded because he's not sure he can win with Orlando anymore. The catch is that if you trade him, then you can't win anymore. And how painful would that be? The truth, and this is not to purposely paint a grim picture but merely being realistic, is that there's no telling how much longer you'll own the Magic. You've been close to winning a championship twice and the clock is ticking. What do you do?
This is the reality that Orlando finds themselves in right now.
There is at least a fairly clear sense out there about what the Magic would eventually want in exchange for Howard if they decide, as widely expected between now and the March 15 deadline, to make sure they get something for their face of the franchise as opposed to risking the sight of their Team USA center bolting Orlando in July with nothing coming back in return, just like a certain TNT analyst did in the Olympic summer of 1996.
Sources familiar with Orlando's thinking say that a picture of what the Magic will ultimately expect in return for their anchor has indeed begun to emerge, telling ESPN.com this week that Orlando would not hold out for youth and draft picks as the league-owned New Orleans Hornets were ordered to do in the Chris Paul sweepstakes. The Magic, sources say, would instead prefer to bring back multiple established veterans who can keep the team competitive.
Reason being: Orlando has moved into a new arena last season and has a 85-year-old owner in Rich De Vos. Sources say De Vos has little interest in starting over/rebuilding, as evidenced by the recent decisions to trade for Glen "Big Baby" Davis and re-sign Jason Richardson even though Howard's future is so murky.
Because it's starting to become clear that the Magic, at the behest of DeVos, are in the business of acquiring veterans in a Howard trade to win now as opposed to acquiring draft picks and young players to rebuild later, it's important to understand the reasoning for this. Meaning, Orlando's obsessive pursuit with winning.
It started in the offseason in 2009 after the Magic lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals that year. Once it became clear that Orlando was close to hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy, the goal became clearer — win for DeVos. I know because I was there when then-CEO Bob Vander Weide said it. General manager Otis Smith would say the same thing as well in interviews when I covered the team in person during that offseason. As such, everything the Magic have done for the past several years, the trades, the spending, it's been done with the intentions of trying to win for DeVos. The term "going all-in" could not be more appropriate.
That's why it should come as no surprise to the mainstream media and blogosphere that Orlando is not in the business of rebuilding with draft picks and young players if Howard is traded. Trading for veterans to field a competitive team and fill the Amway Center?
That's an ancillary reason.
No, it doesn't make any sense that the Magic should forgo the opportunity to reload through the draft. Orlando is asking to send themselves to the worst possible destination in the NBA and that's purgatory, where perpetual mediocrity leaves franchises stranded on a desert island with only one way out, which is to blow the whole thing up and start over. But the Magic don't care because they want to win for their owner and get that gold trophy. Or DeVos will die trying.
That's love right there.

Variable Speed of Light
Name: Michael Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I have heard from what I believe to be a reliable source that the of light is variable. This person quoted the April issue of the New Scientist Magazine of 1995 pages 26-29 among others. I have not checked this, but a similar article can be found here:
Is it possible that Einstein was wrong? and why or why not?
The speed of light in a perfect vacuum is constant, but not the speed of light when it interacts with matter. When light interacts with matter (e.g. it's no longer in a perfect vacuum), the speed of the light can be affected in lots of ways. Look up "index of refraction" to learn more.
Hope this helps,
Burr Zimmerman
When comparing relativity to quantum mechanics, realize that they do NOT agree with each other. Relativity is a good model of objects on a large scale moving extremely fast. Quantum mechanics is a good model of reality at the scale of individual particles and atoms. Physics has not yet developed a tested theory that handles both. Superstring theory is the best we have, but we have not yet figured out how to test it.
On a large scale, where objects are definitely objects and waves are definitely waves, where every position is well defined and an object can be at only one position at a time, relativity seems to work. On a tiny scale, where whether something is a particle or a wave depends on how you measure it, where nothing has a clearly defined position and something can reach its destination before it leaves its original location, relativity does not work. A useful set of three one-hour videos that discuss this 'problem' and are free to watch can be found on the PBS Nova site:
Dr. Ken Mellendorf
Physics Instructor
Illinois Central College
Hi Michael,
Einstein did not claim the speed of light was a constant. The claim is that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, independent of the observer's frame of reference.
We have known for a long time that the speed of light can be changed. For example, the index of refraction of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.
I think it is a good thing that you question the "laws" that we know. The laws that we have today explain the world as we understand it. As we learn more about the world the "laws" -- actually theories -- must be modified to fit the new information. This is a part of the scientific method.

Dawn Zulueta in A Little Night Music. Click for more photos.
She first turned heads as a commercial model in her late teens. Now 41 and just as stunning, Dawn Zulueta makes it clear what she has proven a long time ago: this award-winning actress is way more than just a pretty face (though we love stealing her beauty secrets).
Remember when she won best supporting actress for Una Kang Naging Akin and best actress for Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit? Zulueta made history in the 90s when she became the first Filipino actor to win back-to-back awards at the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts & Sciences (FAMAS). Since then she has become the wife of Davao congressman Anton Lagdameo, a loving mom to two adorable kids, and now, a big draw to the local musical stage.
Currently she stars�in Steven Sondheim's A Little Night Music, where she has received rave reviews for her performance as Desiree Armsfeldt. Her return to the musical stage comes 12 years after she appeared as "conga queen" Esla Montes in Larawan, the musical adaptation of Nick Joaquin's Portrait of the Artist as Filipino.
Says director Bobby Garcia, "Dawn was the first person who came to mind when I was thinking of doing A Little Night Music. I'm so glad she said yes. She's a very earthy actress. Not only does she bring movie-star glamour to the piece but also has an innate sense of truth. She is an honest and truthful actress. It is magical to watch her rehearse and become Desiree Armsfeldt."
Spot.ph talks to Dawn Zulueta about singing again, why Angelica Panganiban is her best bet for the next big thing, and why she refuses to ride the Facebook and Twitter bandwagon.
How did you prepare for your role in A Little Night Music?
I listened to the music for a whole month, singing along with it every day until I became accustomed to the melodies. I also read the script and began memorization of my lines weeks prior to the start of our music rehearsals. Apart from that, I took care of my health by not exposing myself unnecessarily to the elements, as I wanted to guard against catching a cold or a cough.
What is the most fun part about playing Desiree?
Desiree is such an interesting character to portray. She has so many nuanced and comical lines throughout her story. She is a woman who has seen it all, being an actress traveling often to different parts of Europe for performances. She hopes to redeem some of the wrong decisions she made in the past, and she finds herself at once having the opportunity to change things but realizes it isn�t all that easy. Like many of the roles I�ve portrayed, I do find some similarities [between myself] and Desiree�s character.
You were doing theater 10 years ago, how difficult or easy was it to get back on stage?
Most difficult was convincing me that there was a role suited enough for me with my limited voice range. It was easy enough because I have always enjoyed performing on the theater stage, I just needed to get over the initial fear of the live performance.
Do you see yourself doing more theater than TV and movies?
More or less of any of the three is just a question of material and time. I love doing all: theater, TV, and film projects. What always becomes the clincher is whether or not the material is worthy of my time. I am blessed that I am able to choose freely what projects I want to do, so it will always boil down to this. I do limit my time for TV work; I cannot take the long hours of a teleserye. This lifestyle just doesn�t mix well anymore with my real life as a mother and wife. But I would like to do TV work as a host of a talk show, perhaps, and also embark on nice film and theater projects.
Which plays and which roles do you want to do next?
I am interested in doing more musical plays such as �Camelot,� �Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,� and the like. However I would like to study these options well, as I am aware that my voice range is quite limited.
Do you have any pre-show rituals?
Prayer and meditation. I can never do without them. I become very quiet 30 minutes prior to going on stage because I want to focus… I avoid chatting with anyone, I put my phone on silent mode, and then I sit quietly alone to slow my heart rate (because it would be pounding) � as if waiting to be taken to the guillotine. I know that�s funny to hear, but live performances have that terrible effect on me. I literally feel like I am about to be executed.
not to mention very smart, sensible and knows what she wants out of life. she's risen above it all. a role model for other celebrities. cheers!Oct 31 2010 @ 11:24pm Reply
^ agree,..one hell of a classic beauty! indeed one of the most beautiful face that ever grace the local showbiz scene,..:) way to go! rnrnOmg! 41?! but still very beautiful! love Miss DawnOct 22 2010 @ 01:19pm Reply

Troop Receives Unforgettable Gift from Soldier
Created date
Back row: Troop Top Seller Kasey Tarnow, Troop Leader Renee Tarnow. Front Row: Top Troop Care to Share Seller Kayleigh Cassidy and Troop Top Seller Shelby Tarnow (holding medallion)
My troop has worked hard to sell over 6,000 boxes among 14 girls because we're on a mission to go and walk the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge in May. To reach our goal, we've had to schedule many, many booths, sometimes with very long shifts distributed between the girls with lots of parents helping.
Our area in San Clemente has a lot of military, especially Marines who live and shop in the area. We're always asking customers to purchase "Care To Share" cookies to donate to the military. Our troop also frequently asks military members if they've received cookies when they've been deployed. They most often say yes and tell us what kind of box they received and how much it was appreciated as a taste of home and a demonstration of caring.
On Saturday, we had a booth at Albertson's. Toward the end of our booth sale, a tall, clean shaven, handsome man with short hair cut and dark glasses walked up our booth. He silently lifted up the table cloth and pulled out a case of Peanut Butter Sandwiches and handed our girls a $100 bill. "Keep the change," he said, and turned around and walked away. Our girls turned to the leader and said, "What should we do?!?" Our leader followed the guy and said, "Are you sure?" "Yes," he replied, "and are those your girls over at the other entrance?" She nodded. He walked over to them and did precisely the same thing, causing all kinds of confusion. Our leader followed him out in the parking and said, "I'm a little emotional because you don't know how much this helps us, thank you so much!!" "Ma'am, I appreciate what your girls are doing," the man said. And he walked away.
The Troop Leader was standing in the parking lot, dazed, when he walked back and silently pressed a medallion into her hand. It was a Navy SEAL Team 6 medallion. "This is for you," he said. He walked back to his car with three other guys ... just like him ... and drove away.
We never know who we're going to meet at cookie sales. I believe they bring out the very best...not only in our girls, but also in people. Our girls see great generosity every time they sell.

To date only gas-atomised tool steel powders have been used for direct laser additive manufacturing and the potential benefits of using water-atomised powders have not been explored. As the use of the process in the rapid tooling field is growing, there is a need to explore if the less expensive water-atomised materials can be realistically utilised. A comparative investigation is described, using gas- and water-atomised H13 powder deposited with a CO2 laser and coaxial powder feed nozzle. Multiple layer wall dimensions, composition, microstructure, surface finish and hardness are related to process conditions and the causes of the observed phenomena are discussed. An energy-balance method is used to model the temperature of the powders and the results used to explain some of the effects. Results indicate that using the lower cost water-atomised powder still allows a metallurgically sound component to be built and does not significantly affect surface finish. The build rate is, however, lower and the water-atomised powder tends to produce slightly softer walls, attributable to a higher temperature during tempering of deposited material by subsequent laser passes.

Sea Bass with Ginger and Green Onions
Any firm white-fleshed fish, such as cod or halibut, may be substituted for the sea bass. Before cooking, quickly check for errant bones by running your fingers lightly over each fillet. If you detect any bones, remove them with needle-nosed pliers or a paring knife, pulling them straight out to avoid tearing the fish.

Judge Judy Files Suit
Friday, March 14, 2014
(Hartford, CT) -- TV's Judge Judy could be headed to a real courtroom in Connecticut. Judith Shiendlin is suing Hartford attorney John Haymond for using her image without permission. The suit claims Haymond's firm ran commercials that included footage from Judge Judy. Sheindlin is a retired Family Court judge and has been the star of "Judge Judy" for 18 years.

On May 31, 2007, the Pittsburgh Penguins named Sidney Crosby as their new team team captain, the the youngest age ever of just 19 years, 297 days. It was a moment that made many question if Sid The Kid was ready, but Crosby and the Penguins have never looked back.
The Colorado Avalanche are hoping for similar results with their newly anointed captain.
Gabriel Landeskog is 11 days younger than Crosby, and has been named captain of the Avs at just 19 years, 286 days. When coach Joe Sacco and fellow teammate Milan Hejduk called Landeskog into an office for a meeting, Landeskog had absolutely no idea of what this big day had in store.
"I had no clue. I didn't have any idea what [the meeting] was about," Landeskog said after receiving a new Avs No. 92 jersey from Hejduk. "I was a little bit shocked at first. I didn't expect this at all, especially this early in my career. But I feel like I'm ready for it and this organization feels like I'm ready for it."
As the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, Landeskog did not make Avalanche fans wait too long to see just what he could do on the ice. On his way to winning the NHL Calder Cup as the league's best rookie, Landeskog scored 22 goals and added 30 assists with Colorado. He was the team's leading goal scorer as an 18-year-old rookie phenom.
Landeskog received the captaincy from Hejduk, who felt it would be better for the team if he relinquished the role as his career reaches the end. Hejduk put up career lows in both goals and points, and felt the time was now to pass the torch to Landeskog, who is expected to lead the Avalanche for years to come.
And the idea was all Hejduk's, who even surprised Sacco when he made his decision to the Avs coach.
"Coming from him, knowing that if he didn't feel comfortable doing it 100 percent, I wouldn't expect anything less from him," Sacco said. "We had to respect what he was thinking. It's never an easy decision for a player, especially one of Milan's character."
And both men felt that Landeskog was the best man for the job.
"I think Gabe is a great choice," said Hejduk. "He's young, but the older guys on the team will help him. I believe he's going to be here for a long time and he's going to be captain for a long, long time. I feel really comfortable about this."
Sacco couldn't agree more.
"To me, the logical choice kept coming back to Gabe," he said. "No. 1, his leadership ability comes very naturally. He doesn't try to be somebody he's not. He demonstrated in his first year at 19 – he started at 18 – strong leadership both on and off the ice. His play on the ice certainly was an example of how we want all our players to play. He played in every situation possible for us."
And now, he will play in ever situation for the Avalanche as the new team captain.

Each year in June, we take an entire week to GO into our neighborhoods to share the love of God. We want to help our neighbors to experience God's work in their lives. With so many people attending The Branch every weekend, be careful not to feel like your contribution to the work of the church is meaningless. The truth is, it takes all of us joining together to impact our community. We need you to be willing and join with us on this mission!
GO Week 2014 June 13-20
Get ready to GO! We want everyone at The Branch to get involved with GO Week. Make room for an hour here or there, a whole day, or even several days that you can participate, we want you to join us!
Here's how you can get involved:
1. Pray
2. Create a Profile
If you haven't already done so, create your profile here. If your profile is already set up, continue to Step 3.
When you set up your profile, sign up for as much availability as you have, realizing that our goal is for everyone who feels called to work will have at least one job for the week. We will try our hardest to fill up the times you have given, but often the needs don't match up with the availability. So it may be, for example, that you are available every evening, but we may only have a couple of evenings with assignments. The best way to get the jobs you want is to go to the web page and choose a job (see step 3). Thanks for your flexibility!
3. Sign Up for Specific Projects
Choose from a list of specific projects (jobs, times, and locations) here. We try to have a variety of ways to serve for everyone of every age to participate. Please know that each spot of availability is important and you will be counted on to serve at that specific time. Choose as many hours as you can work on as many days as you are available.
4. Suggest a Service Opportunity
Success for this week not only depends on you signing up to work AND choosing jobs, but it also depends on you submitting jobs.
It's your neighbors we're trying to serve . . . your community. The needs come from your connections. The best job sites we've had have come from members submitting them. Let us know who needs help, and we'll try our best to serve them. Don't wait on "the church" to come up with stuff for you to do. You are the church! You can suggest work here.
5. Tell Others
6. Share Your Stories
Let us know what God did in your life as a result of serving Him. You can do that by sending an email to email@example.com, or by posting pictures and stories on your Facebook status with the hashtag: #goweek.
Thank you in advance for being Jesus in our community, and for serving people who could never pay you back!
I Peter 4:10-11 (NIRV) - God's gifts of grace come in many forms. Each of you has received a gift in order to serve others. You should use it faithfully. If you speak, you should do it like one speaking God's very words. If you serve, you should do it with the strength God provides. Then in all things God will be praised through Jesus Christ. Give him the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
If you have specific questions, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Poppy nursing shoe from Cherokee Footwear features the DBL difference. DBL is a material which is formulated to have superior cushioning and resilience. This makes the shoe softer and more supportive. Adjust the velcro closure on the monk strap for a comfortable fit. Cherokee has made this shoe a brilliant white without using the whitening chemicals that weaken the outsole and make it more brittle.
This shoe is extremely comfortable. I bought the wide because my ffoot is not narrow. It was alittle big though. So I am re-ordering the same size in regular and giving my others to someone less fortunate.
These are the best shoes I have ever bought. I spent at least 10 hrs on my feet at work and when I come home my feet donâ??t hurt, compared to other nurse shoes. I recommend these shoes especially for someone, who spends many hours on their feet. They are lightweight, and very comfortable.

Increasingly, however, social media content (a.k.a. viral content) does more than increase brand recognition and site traffic: it can also boost your SEO signals. As search engines pay more and more attention to social signals, going viral is rapidly becoming one of the best ways to build links, attract attention, and establish authority and legitimacy in your field. How Social & SEO Are Linked Let's start with the obvious: social media builds links.

Up until 2010 or so, photography had been mostly a hobby. He was an avid practitioner of urban exploration, a term for photographers who enter — oftentimes illegally — abandoned buildings and urban structures to photograph their interiors.

Is Facebook really a valid B2B marketing channel? Social media is becoming an increasingly large element within the B2B marketing landscape and with 79% of B2B markets feeling that social media is relevant to B2B organisations (The B2B Barometer, 2011) this is unsurprising.
Whilst everyone seems to agree that it is relevant, there is far less consensus on which channels are most suitable in a B2B setting. In this post I will be looking at the validity of Facebook as a B2B marketing channel, although our new guide to social media will explore in depth the application of traditional marketing theories in a social media context. Perceptions of Facebook In the past Facebook has been highlighted as incompatible with B2B marketing. Many highlight that Facebook was not designed as a business environment and because it is so highly social, being interrupted with commercial messages can ruin the experience and negatively affect brand image.

I only got 8.1 but not 8.1.1 is that the 8.1 update 1???? By the way thanks @htc for the 8.1 ilove it so much but where is the cellular toggle?? Im using Internationa Sim free variant of 8x.
I only got 8.1 but not 8.1.1 is that the 8.1 update 1???? By the way thanks @htc for the 8.1 ilove it so much but where is the cellular toggle?? Im using Internationa Sim free variant of 8x.
Thanks HTC for latest firmware and 8.1 OS, its looking awesome on 8.1 with cortana and Action center. Please I would recommend to redesign this phone with following spec with same build slip and look Spec: Screen : 4.5 - 4.7 Camera: 13 main and 5 secendory Most needed application is Video player that plays all formats... Thanks, Venu
First the power cord. It needs another foot of length. next the heavy socket end is to heavy and slips out of the wall. This phone is not comparable with Silverlight software. I use it for my work. Inconvenient. battery life sticks. Needs blocking feature for unwanted calls. More easy user friendly needed. Simplified for average user.
I love how the Windows phone OS works on my HTC 8X. My chief complaint has been how long it took to get the 8.1 update. I was about to walk away from HTC altogether. I really hope that HTC and Verizon get ahead of the curve this time in prepping the 8X for the upgrade to Windows Phone 10, especially since the 8x was the first phone built from the ground up for the Windows Phone OS. If so, I will upgrade my review to 5 stars. Battery life started out strong, but has gradually worsened. This is my second HTC phone, and this seems to be a recurring problem.
Hi Thank You htc developers for new original Firmware and new boot loader update i love my htc 8x Windows Phone,Cortana and Live Tiles are very good Thanks again for releasing 8.1.1 Update i hope Htc prepare 8x for Windows 10
Ilove htc phones but this windiwsphone is not good it does not get upgraded to windows 8.1 ,pls its my request to make its updates available or may iwill get android phone ,,,, pls make updates available pls.,,pls..,
We had an issue like , we need some firmware update from htc in-order to download and install windows 8.1. Well it has arrived today. Even though htc had a long delay , they have managed to publish it by the end of this Jan
What I believe to be the best looking smartphone ever made, everything works wonderfully. The windows 8 platform is pretty identical on all devices, but what makes this so brilliant is the cameras, markedly the wide-angle front, and the sound quality which is unquestionably one of the best on the market.
The Htcx8 is the worst HTC I have ever owned and I am a huge HTC fan. All my cellphones have been htc's and I even own an HTC tablet. I really hate this phone particularly the windows 8 operating system on it. I cannot begin to describe the intense loathing I have for the combination of windows 8 and HTC. Everything that made me fall in love with HTC is completely nonexistent in this phone.
I have this phone over a year now. The battery is not holding a full day charge I'm looking for a charger about 3-4pm. I use the heck out of my phone. The short comings are the battery can not be changed unless the phone is ripped open. Also it does not take a MicroSD card which makes a difference when you start using the camera which takes good pictures. lf the battery would have been replaceable and a SD slot added the phone would have been awesome. I give it big props for the sound with headphones and the camera quality. For the price if you are not phone animal like me it's a great phone.

Safer crossing for pedestrians has moved a step forward for a notorious stretch of Thorpe St Andrew road.
"It is vital this is funded and implemented quickly to ensure the safety of children crossing the road to school on a daily basis."
Local councillors have been working with the Plumstead Road East Pedestrian Safety (PREPS) campaign group to improve safety for people crossing near the Armstrong Road junction.
At the latest meeting of Thorpe St Andrew Town Council on Monday night the proposals for a new crossing, and funding of around £5,000, were endorsed.
A report to assess the most appropriate crossing found a zebra crossing or a road widening with pedestrian refuge and speed reduction measures were the best options.
Both options would cost in the region of £20,000 but, due to concerns about the location, speed of traffic and frequency of use for a zebra crossing, a pedestrian refuge was decided upon.
The town council will now submit a bid to Norfolk County Council's Parish Partnerships Scheme.
County councillor for Thorpe and deputy town mayor, Ian Mackie, said: "A pedestrian refuge appears to be the sensible option within a limited budget, allowing pedestrians to navigate this busy road with more confidence and safety.
"Being able to submit a funding bid to the Parish Partnership Scheme is an important step forward. I hope we are successful in that bid so we can deliver this safety improvement in 2013.
"I am also keen to have a new path and cycleway from the top of Dussindale Drive to the top of South Hill on to the county council traffic management programme to support those cycling or walking to the high school from Thorpe End."
Local mother Rachael Breed, who is involved with the PREPS campaign, added: "It is vital this is funded and implemented quickly to ensure the safety of children crossing the road to school on a daily basis.
"The pedestrian refuge, pavement and speed safety measures are an important step forward in this process.
Ensuring a 12-hour survey of the safety situation is also vital. We continue to believe a crossing with lights is ultimately required."

The refuge is the sensible option. I use this road frequently and lights are not the appropriate for what is predominantly a major problem at only two peak times. All roads are busy and further restrictions by either lights or speed restriuctions will create more polution with vehicles stopping and starting or running in lower gears. A cycle lane sounds good until you realise that the Plumstead Road is quite narrow - too narrow to support a cycle way unless you cut down mature trees. At present cars, if there is oncoming traffic, quite reasonably have to wait behind cycles as it is too narrow to pass.

At JFK Airport Eateries, iPad Will Be Your Server
Long lines for stale, tasteless sandwiches. Sound like your typical airport meal? Though some airlports have been improving their preflight fare (and booze), these travel hubs are still generally considered culinary wastelands. A new dining program at New York's John F. Kennedy airport aims to change that.
Since November 19, travelers passing through JFK's Delta Airlines gate can skip the lines and order food and drink directly from 200 newly installed iPads. The slick tablets are set up tableside and allow customers to scroll through menus of new restaurants from some of the city's most celebrated chefs. At Terminal 2, Chef Andrew Carmellini of the popular Locanda Verde restaurant has created the menu for Croque Madame, which features savory and sweet crepes, baguette sandwiches, and a full list of European beers, wines, and cocktails. Over at Terminal 3, diners can sample a range of bruschettes and Panini at Bar Brace, the brainchild of Inoteca's Jason Denton.
The iPad system (which also allow users to play games, check flight status, and read online news) and the new gourmet grub are part of major overhaul of Delta's terminals at both JFK and New York's LaGuardia, where a similar set up is slated to open soon.
"We are giving travelers a one-of-a-kind experience by bringing great food and beverages from world-renowned chefs to the gate area," said Rick Blatstein, the CEO of OTG, the management company behind the revamp. "By combining cuisine with innovative seating and ordering technology, we are offering a truly unique airport travel experience."
According to OTG, the redesign will also address another common traveler gripe by outfitting most seats in the terminal with power outlets.
Although no additional locations have not yet been announced, OTG's PR rep suggested that the iPad systems will be installed at other airports around the country.
