Justin Timberlake may be in another movie soon post-Friends With Benefits because we hear that Paramount Pictures is trying to get him to star in the Baywatch reboot. The project has been in the works for awhile and has already attracted producers like Ivan Reitman, Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson and is still quite in development. The role being written for Justin in the movie would be of a disgraced Olympian swimmer forced to try out on the Baywatch team. David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson have both been inked into the movie as well, so don't worry Baywatch purists because they have it covered (or… uncovered).
Justin Timberlake may need a rockin' body for the film but he already wants to Rock Your Body. Watch his video for Carry Out with Timbaland and let us know if you'd watch Baywatch if Justin was in it in the comments section below.

Marco Rubio: America must lead world, and Obama doesn't get it
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, said to be on Mitt Romney's list of possible running mates, said Wednesday the US must exercise strong leadership, for the world's sake. Overall, his eagerly awaited speech on foreign affairs treaded lightly on Obama's policies.
Jacquelyn Martin/AP
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, considered a "short-lister" to share the top Republican ticket with MItt Romney, is adamant about this: Only American leadership can deliver the global freedom and prosperity the 21st century promises.
That was the main message Wednesday from the son of refugees from Fidel Castro's Cuba, during a speech billed by some in Washington as the Republicans' opening shot in an election-year battle with President Obama over US foreign policy. Their aim: to paint Mr. Obama as timid in standing up to the world's tyrants and as disregarding the robust American leadership the world needs.
But Senator Rubio did not differ with the Obama administration on much of fundamental importance. He said he would have kept the US at the helm of NATO's Libya operation longer, would do more to challenge Russia as it attempts a world leadership comeback, and would offer a prescription for Syria that sounds much like what the administration is already doing.

CeBIT Open Source 2011 - Project Presentation XAMPP
ByDuring CeBIT 2011 open source projects such as XAMPP, which enables a standard PC and MAC to become a full-featured web server, will have the opportunity to showcase what is currently in active development.
Short and sweet: How would you describe your project in one or two sentences?
XAMPP is a collection of programs (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl and others) that allows users to turn a standard PC or Mac into a full-featured web server. XAMPP is freely available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris.
When did the project begin?
The project started in 2002.
How many active members does the project have?
We are currently 6 people who care about XAMPP. Three of us focus on the development of XAMPP. The other three are taking care of the support within our forums.
Why was the project created?
In 2001, Kay Vogelgesang and I wrote the German book "Apache fuer Dummies". While writing the book we came up with the idea of a software that installes Apache, a database (MySQL) and a programming language (PHP) all at once. It should be easy to install in order to enable everyone to work or experiment with these technologies. In May 2002 we released the first version of XAMPP.
Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
Everyone interested in Internet technologies and never dared to deal extensively with this subject. Actually the whole issue is quite simple and clear, and we will give support and answer questions.
Who do you make your software for?
The Internet allows everyone to become a provider of information or services. Unfortunately, only very few Internet users use this opportunity and remain mere passive consumers. With XAMPP, we offer a tool to enable everyone to become an active part of the Internet.
Where do you see your biggest current challenges?
Motivation and lack of time. With 600,000 downloads per month XAMPP has become a de facto standard which means a great responsibility. After 9 years it's often very hard to find the motivation to stay on the track again and again.
If you could hire a full-time project developer now, what problem should he or she be ready to solve?
One part of XAMPP are the so-called demo pages. As we started XAMPP I developed these pages in only a few hours and accordingly the quality isn't very good. We never expected XAMPP to be such a big success and at this point we did not really care much about quality. For years we have been trying to renew the demo pages, but we always failed because of lack of time.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
XAMPP is a compilation of software packages which brings together a variety of licenses. Usually it's the GPL or another open-source license. All components which come directly from us are released under the GPL.

BDO HAS RETAINED its position as the top auditor of AIM-listed companies, albeit with a reduced lead after its rivals all pulled in new clients, according to the latest quarterly figures from Adviser Rankings.
The mid-tier firm suffered a net loss of one client over the three months to 5 July, while the chasing pack of Grant Thornton, KPMG, PwC and Deloitte all made net gains over the period. GT pulled in three clients through the quarter, and KPMG added four AIM stocks - a net gain of seven clients since the beginning of the year.
Further reading
Numbers for PwC were stagnant during the early part of 2014, but a brace of clients in the second quarter has provided fresh impetus.
There were changes to the mid-table rankings with both Chantrey Vellacott and Welbeck Associates moving up into joint 12th place on the back of single gains, while a trio of wins has propelled Jeffreys Henry ever close to a top-ten ranking.
Grant Thornton retained the lead in the technology sector, while KPMG moved into outright second ahead of PwC.
A solitary gain allowed BDO to move further ahead at the top of the basic materials rankings. There was limited movement in consumer goods, although Chantrey Vellacott added to its client roster, while EY moved into joint fourth on the back of a single gain over the quarter.
The industrials sector had a quiet quarter, though BDO, KPMG and Baker Tilly added to their sector rosters. There was, however, no shortage of activity in the oil & gas sector. A fruitful quarter saw both PwC and KPMG move into equal second place in the rankings with Deloitte, while a single gain for UHY Hacker Young moved the auditor into joint eighth with Nexia Smith & Williamson.

ø Ignore DecamberWhat to do when the character's ability scores exceeds the limit?
Hello all!
What do you do when your character is a Mike Tyson with the intelligence as Hannibal and charisma as Kasparov, whilst the ability method is point-buy of 32 points? That's were I am now; My character is a native from Chult whose size equals a pro-boxer - lacking a neck, of course. He is extremely intelligent, and a master of psychology and the body language. Have you ever seen Garry Kasparov playing a game of chess? He psychs his opponents by looking at them with a half-opened mouth. My character does that while in combat to gain advantage. When he has it, he slashes the enemy in pieces in a fierceful rage with his two knives!
These stats fits my picture of him:
But that's rather high - especially using 32 points.
Any ideas? By what you know, do you think I could lower any stats but still fulfill my demands?
Thanks in advance!/Decamber

Retail giants Wal-Mart and Best Buy have pulled out of a plan to extend their reach in the games market via automatic store-based kiosks. In May last year Wal-Mart teamed up with E-Play to place kiosks in 80 of its 3,600 U.S. stores, while Best Buy also carried the experiment in a limited number of stores. However, the plan has been terminated due to underwhelming response. Ohio-based E-Play's website is carrying a placeholder stating that the company has suspended operations. Under the scheme, consumers could buy and rent games via the kiosks. They could also sell their used games. Users would key in the name of a game, receive on an on-screen price, insert the game disk and deposit the packaging in a bin. Their credit card would then be credited. When it was launched last year, the E-Play plan was widely seen as an attempt by leading retailers to wrestle share of the highly profitable used game market from GameStop.

This man is saving his agency money, but how much? (Stock image)
Feds mulling over whether to introduce or alter existing telework initiatives have a new tool to help gauge potential returns on investment.
The ROI Calculator, developed by the Mobile Work Exchange over the past year, uses basic input information about an agency to calculate returns for the most common telework and mobility metrics, including transit subsidies, environmental impact, continuity of operations (COOP), productivity, employee retention, and real estate and utility savings.
Mobile Work Exchange general manager Cindy Auten said the ROI Calculator has been beta tested by several telework-leading agencies, and should provide telework managers baseline values for potential initiatives.
Telework ROI calculator
"We worked with a wide variety of agencies to look at their models, to find the best practices in government, on how they are measuring the ROI of telework," Auten said. "This tool should serve as a resource for those agencies that are having trouble figuring this out. It can give them a baseline on what the value of telework is for employees and agencies, and that's critical to any telework program."
As an example, a workforce of 5,000 employees beginning to telework twice weekly could save an agency approximately $1.4 million annually, based on metrics developed within the government.
Transit subsidies are calculated using reimbursement figures outlined by the Internal Revenue Services per the Department of Transportation's recommendations; agency environmental savings are calculated based on commuting research developed during Telework Week and carbon emissions data provided by the Department of Energy; continuity savings are tabulated by combining data from the Office of Personnel Management and salary data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
ROI calculations for productivity, employee retention and real estate and utilities come from metrics derived from the Department of Defense, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Bureau of Economy Analysis, the Department of Labor and the General Services Administration.
USPTO paves the way for telework success
Such metrics are useful on their own, Auten said, but combined they forecast a general blueprint for what an agency can expect through telework, though she stressed that each agency should cater their efforts to best fit their missions. The Patent and Trademark Office, for example, uses performance measures to track telework productivity; that approach is probably not the best option for agencies where employee workloads aren't as quantifiable.
Auten said the ROI Calculator should also prove useful to feds who oversee telework programs in specific agencies or departments, easing the ability to demonstrate savings from small tweaks in telework programs.

Haggy 5pts The article says that Tesla owners aren't likely to be pinching pennies, and that's true. But suppose I had the same amount of money and wanted a different car. With the Tesla, I get $10,000 in rebates. I got a loan for the rest. I will save $75/week on fuel costs. That means I'd need a loan payment of $300/month less just to break even if I got a different car, and in order to do that, I'd need a car with a $27,000 lower selling price. To put it another way, a person can get a $68,000 car and make loan payments plus $75/week extra in gasoline compared to the cost of electricity. Or the person can get a Tesla for $95,000, which is $85,000 after rebates, and take what would be the loan and gas payments for the $68,000 car and put it toward loan payments for the price after rebates. That was for a five year loan.But don't forget that once the loan is paid off, there is still an ongoing savings of $3600 annually. If I keep the car for ten years, it will work out to another $18,000 saved. It's not quite the same as getting a $50,000 car and saving the difference in payments so I'll have money left for five years' worth of gasoline. But I've kept cars longer than 10 years before, and as long as it still performs, I'll be fine. You also have to factor in oil changes, tune ups, smog checks and other things that add up over time, not to mention time saved by never needing gasoline. In fact, my power company gives me better rates with a Tesla and for some people their overall power bill goes down.Now if you apply the same logic to the Model III, if it does come out at $35,000 and there are still rebates, you'd have to compare it to a new $11,000 car. That might not be realistic and it might be closer to a $21,000 car, but again once it's paid off the savings continue. So say what you will about the high cost. Not everybody can afford a $50,000 car. But other manufacturers are at a loss to push their existing electric cars, and would rather be out of the business. Once Tesla ramps up and has more affordable electric cars, it might be too late for other companies to jump on the bandwagon.
srsmcom 5pts Test drive one and you're finished with ICE cars. I did and was. Took delivery on 12/21 and put 1000 miles on it in two weeks. This car is truly disruptive technology and I can't ever imagine driving anything else. It is simply spectacular in every respect. The torque is astonishing - it climbs mountains effortlessly. It is an S Class killer, and, indeed, in 2013 outsold S Class, 7 Series, and Panamera COMBINED. My Porsche dealer told me that they benchmarked the new Panamera against the Model S.Never buy gas again? Never buy anything, that's anything, but tires, windshield wiper fluid and wiper blades, and brakes, which last 100,000 miles or more because with regenerative brakes you hardly use them. And if you buy the ridiculously cheap 4 year maintenance package they cover all but the tires! And they come to you and do the work or give you a loaner and take it to the shop. And they are opening Superstations almost daily - three more in Arizona this week. When they open Indio, which should be soon, I can drive from Phoenix to Oakland to see my son, and then on to Washington, DC to personally thank Barry Soetoro for the $7500 he gave me for buying this car. And I can top up at Tesla SS's the entire way, gratis of course. And drive solo in the HOV lane ...Oh yes, and there is the Vehicle License Tax. Here in Arizona, were this an ICE car, that annual license plate sticker would cost $1500. For the Model S, $36! That's no typo: $36 per year.

Alexis Gallegos Najera 5pts me imagino que todas la empresas automotrices han de estar EN LA CUERDA FLOJA, deberían estar haciendo lo mismo, ó solo quedaran a la historia..............
Rajiv Naik 5pts Primary purpose of an IC Engine is to give TORQUE. All IC Engines produce torque in SINE WAVE. Co sine components of forces acting on piston are wasted as heat, noise & vibrations. This is so right since IC Engine invention. No one else has so far EVEN POINTED IT OUT. I have done extensive research on this aspect & have invented TEJJ Constant Torque IC Engine which eliminates all co sine component losses. It is Patent pending in India. It offers following major advantages: 1. Maximum possible continuous torque (for 4 cylinder engine) like an electric motor. 2. Smoother, cooler & quieter engine. 3. Work done per power stroke increases by 55% compared to similar sized exiting engines. 4. Considerable fuel savings. 5. Improvement in power & pick up. 6. Reduction of green house gases. 7. Existing 2nd, 3rd, 4th &5th gear ratios can be used for 1st to 4th gear in vehicles with TEJJ IC Engine. 5th gear over drive ratio can be suitably increased. Detailed advantages with graphics are available at http://www.patentauction.com/patent.php?nb=7706. I need some institutional or manufacturer support for developing the idea further. It can really bring PARADIGM SHIFT IN ENTIRE INDUSTRY.
Mario Avalos 5pts Respectable performance numbers but who wants to wait 30-45min to "fill up" every 160 miles? I don't.
Joe Warren 5pts Just test drove the Model S today. BIG surprise. Torque is the best of any sedan I have ever driven. Pedal to the metal really gives you the rush of a corvette. No down shifting necessary. Secondly, after owning two M series BMW's, the high speed handling on the twisties is is almost as good as my last M3 coupe. Almost NO lean or lack of control on high speed curves. A real confidence builder. This is a heavy, large sedan, however, with four nice seats, and a ton of storage (for luggage and stuff). A very well balanced car (BMW like). The fact of NEVER having to buy gasoline again for the rest of my life (truly amazing), combined with the drop dead quiet cabin, massive torque, and sports car handling of this sedan makes buying one almost a "no brainer". The 22 inch wheels somehow mask the road imperfections (magic?). I don't know how the Tesla people did it, but this is a TRUE sports sedan, without the gas!!! I have to see what improvements they will make with the next Model S. It seems perfect right now. Finding charging stations is likely the only drawback, to allow for long trips. I will also have to get used to the massive touchscreen computer in the dashboard. Since I am "old school", this is a total distraction for me. I would rather have a real manual stick shift, but then, I am almost 60!
The Car Enthusiast 5pts Motort Trend would be much more reliable than some of these misinformed commenters / critics. The Model S is a solid car in every way. I am purchasing one this fall.
LeGena Renee' Mills 5pts Just saw this car in College Station, Texas. Had to go back, take a picture and research to see what is was. Very impressive and surprised to see as the Motor Trend's pick for 2013. Would like to test drive.... LRMills
bestill 5pts I actually seen more of these on the road than I expected. I've also seen almost as many on the back of flatbed wreckers heading back to the dealer.
Kirk V 5pts Whatever your thoughts are about this car, it is in the right direction. People who drove horse and buggy, didn't like the new fancy gasoline vehicles and only the rich could afford them. EV is the next logical (and needed) step. It takes the rich to buy these vehicles to allow the manufactures to lower their costs in the future.
grace.eggi 5pts My car is only 2 months old my husband accidentally spilled the cooler inside the car after he hit the break, and the car just stopped in the middle of the road. the car was totally dead (was embarrassed as a lot of people that drove by knew it was a Tesla ~___~ and waved at me) and waited 2hrs for the roadside assistant to arrive.the next day the Costa Mesa service center called, and they were willing to change the connectors that had water damage for us for free, I WAS HAPPY THAT TESLA WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE AS I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING UNCOMMON TO HAVE IT HAPPENED INSIDE OF A CAR, WHO DOES NOT HAVE A COOLER? AND WHO DOES NOT CARRY WATER IN THE CAR?after a wkend, I called Tesla to check on my car, and they told me that the original way they thought would work did not work, and the car is still dead ,~__~, and said needed to change the whole harnest which will cost me $7500+, I was so shocked with what water had done to a car like this? THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE TO ME, so say if it rained, and you jumped into your car wet, oopse, you can't go anywhere, because you are wet, and you got your car wet, and your car won't start? does it make sense to anyone? does tesla say NO WATER IN ANY TESLA VEHICLE?this might be the draw back of EV car, I love the car, however, this incident scared me with thoughts of what if your kids or pets peed inside the car? then the car just dies in the middle of no where, it might create serious problems, and what if there is a emergency and you spilled your water and you can't go anywhere 'cuz the car is dead? What if my husband was on the highway, and the car just stopped in the middle of the highway, imagine what would have happened because the car does not have outlet for water inside out? I honestly think this is a design flaw, and this is serious!!!! A car MFG needed to test a car's safety under thousands of different situations and situation's simulations to know how the car would react when things happen, and for a car like this to just STOP, and once STOPPED, you can't even put it into neutral to push the car to the side of the road? THAT'S A HAZARD FOR ALL, and prevent it from happening. THIS IS A CAR, CAN YOU IMAGINE YOUR CAR JUST SHORTS OUT LIKE THIS? THIS IS A TESLA, NOT A cellphone, even cellphone is waterproof these days, and does not just die on you on the spot! Anyone who reads this, what would you do if you were me?
RedCello1912 5pts You don't want to buy one of these cars in the Winter time, because after they deliver it to you, you could find yourself in the embarrassing position of having your lips frozen to the windshield.
gasfree 5pts Men and change. Now that is something we do not like to do. But give us a little time and we come around. What a fabulous car and congratulations for not giving up with all the negativity surrounding electric cars. But then, entrepeneurs don't let these things get to them. They persevere and succeed. For myself, any way to remove the worldly reliance and control of the oil industry and the powers that war for it is a victory. Thank you Tesla.
Mark_BC 5pts I see at least one of these around Vancouver every day, there must be hundreds of them here.
Suke Madiq 5pts That giant screen looks like a huge distraction to me. But overall the car is an amazing vehicle.
OldMac59 5pts Wish I could buy one of these in the UK! (Not that I could really afford it!) Guess I'll have to go for one of those "tiny econo boxes that'll get your ass kicked for ever pulling up in one.." as Evrlove Corey F described them ;-) Or I'll just stick to buying a turbo diesel Yeti...Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/car/1301_2013_motor_trend_car_of_the_year_tesla_model_s/viewall.html#ixzz2UmPmKiSh

iboeddy 5pts We wanted to know if you have thought about installing solar panels on the roof of the Model S as opsion to generate energy to extend the battery charge.I appreciate the information.Eddy
ehomeneeds 5pts It's the best car made in a very long time, and considering the objective that it was set - ZERO emissions - it is perhaps the most incredible car to achieve that singular aim and still be exciting and reliable in the same breath. _________________http://ehomeneeds.com
Evrlove Corey F 5pts dont understand the hate sorrounding such a ground breaking, industry changing car... Elon Musk has put Tesla in a position where hes aligned with a couple major manufacturers that have invested into his company, and is pretty much the last standing electric car startup in the last 10 years.. the man is no dummy... as for the car, theres nothing else like it out there.. im not a big fan of the touchscreen stuff, very similar to a ford flex, where playing with touchscreen buttons can get frustrating, i still prefer normal knobs/buttons... but the performance of the car as it stands right now is pretty incredible.. for other electric cars out there, theyre tiny econo boxes thatll get your ass kicked for ever pulling up in one.. the tesla has sexy lines, and huge performance... the price is too much for me.. but let the company evolve, let the technology evolve, and well see the range go up, and the price go down... theres no stopping cars from going electric, hate it or support it.. its whats going to happen, and this company is making its claim as a leader in the changes to come.. theres no justifying the use of fuel and the amount of moving parts(breakable parts) in a combustion engine, now that we have made the electric car actually work.. once they get their ranges up, that is... how could this car not win the award?.. how could they possibly pick just another gas burning car, with new lines/steering/etc./. whatever.. this car is on another level..
ChiefHuntingBear 5pts How dare Elon Musk name his ugly-ass, boring, worthless cars after one of the most creative geniuses in history, Nikolai Tesla? What a waste of american tax dollars paying submissive Indian engineers with no original ideas or problem solving ability to design cars that have to be driven too slow for the expressway and without stereo or air conditioning or they'll have to be towed, when engineers at Saint Andrews University in Scotland, Rensselaer University in Nee York, the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, Stanford University and the Center For Material Research (CENIMAT) in Portugal have designed paper batteries with spontaneously cultivated nanotubes that extract ambient energy from exposure to hunid sit, already used in hearing aids.
Cody C 5pts @LeGena Renee' Millsgood luck being able to test drive one in Texas http://jalopnik.com/how-petty-money-politics-crushed-tesla-in-texas-1286201748
TheJode 5pts @bestill They are being transported for delivery.grace.eggi: Reading through Tesla Owner Blogs, I have never heard of any other Tesla having such a problem. They are tested at the factory in a soak and dunk tank to make sure the power train and electronics is waterproof.
oligarch9 5pts I have seen this post word for word on other forums, under different names. Smear campaign?
Saad Shelia 5pts I was expecting delivery in 5 days of the Model S, but I'm about to void the transaction. Mainly because a friend of mine told me a similar story where the Model S stopped randomly on the highway and Tesla was unable to determine the problem. If I'm paying a hefty price for a vehicle, the last thing it should do is randomly shut off while in drive. Do not get me wrong, the Model S is...well was...or wait, is a great car but c'mon it shuts off randomly.
stukin 5pts I'm wondering whether your insurance might take care of this. What would happen if you forget to close the sunroof and it rains? Water is a problem that the folks at Tesla need to give some thought to. What about snow, slush, deep puddles, etc?
J Jones 5pts @ehomeneeds Until batteries are made from stuff that comes out of our soil, we are simply trading one imported product for another imported product - Lithium... and where do you electric car fanboys get this nonsense that these cars are ZERO emissions?
jumper35 5pts @ChiefHuntingBear Did you even bother reading the article before your vituperative harangue?
Brycesworld 5pts 1. Elon Musk did not name the company.2. The car is capable of highway speeds and is probably faster than your current one.3. It has a stereo and climate control.
teachfq 5pts @ChiefHuntingBear Re: Waste of American tax dollars NEWSFLASH: Tesla has just repaid their loan...9 years early.
TheJode 5pts @RichardJoash @grace.eggi Dude, you really need to quit yelling and dissing people. Go put your special shoes back in your magic box and play with your imaginary friends.
RedCello1912 5pts @RichardJoash @RedCello1912 That was meant to be a compliment about the car. Why would your lips get stuck there? Probably because you kissed the windshield, which I intend to do when I get mine. The car is so good it's unbelievable! I have, however, read or watched 2 patently dishonest reviews, one from Car and Driver, that should have gotten the reviewer fired, but I'm sure it won't happen. BTW I am a 100% fat-free vegan, fyi. Have a good day and sorry for the misunderstanding.
oligarch9 5pts The largest source of lithium in the US is in Nevada right near where they are building their new battery plant. So it does come right out of our soil, as you put it.
Schlife 5pts @J Jones @ehomeneeds bolivia is a much better place to get a mineral that can be reused for 10 years. 1/5 the pollution than a gas car of comparable size. thats how. do you have a better solution?NO so shut up
RedCello1912 5pts @J Jones @ehomeneeds Tesla is building charging stations all over USA and lower Canada. These all run off of a full array of solar panels, so the car literally runs on sunlight. They should have more than enough of them built over the next three years to cover the whole country. And there is NO cost to the driver to use these stations.
Mark_BC 5pts @J Jones @ehomeneeds An ICE can only burn fossil fuels (biofuels require so much fossil fuel energy subsidies that they are essentially fossil fuels); there is no other option. And EV can burn coal, or it can also use hydro or solar or nuclear energy. The options for sustainable energy exist with EV's, but not with ICE's.
RedCello1912 5pts @J Jones @RedCello1912 @ehomeneeds The taxpayer has been fully refunded in a great investment for the future of the planet (that we're all on) in 1/2 the required time. No more sour grapes. The planet desperately needs these kinds of solutions.
J Jones 5pts @RedCello1912 @J Jones @ehomeneeds No Cost?? I guess you make them "free" when the taxpayer funds everything else...

Mother Madricka & Bucky (Donkeys) Get 'Spooked' Recently, when in a thrift store, I purchased a long, warm coat with a hood, thinking it will be perfect to wear out to the critters' pens in rainy, cold weather. However, when I wore it out to give carrot treats to Madricka and Baby Bucky, they came out of their barn, took one look at me and ran. Even when I talked to them and held the carrots out for them, they would not come near me. The long, hooded, dark coat scared them.

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Purple, cedar, spice box, balsamic, black currant; outstanding depth, concentration, and length." (10/10) Produced from cabernet vines averaging 37 years old, this is another terrific effort from winemaker Hector Durigutti. Satisfying rich, yet still balanced and natural tasting dark cherry fruits have plenty of grip and structure, especially considering the price. This is an unbeatable Cab for the money.

New Crown-of-Helmet Rule Approved
New Crown-of-Helmet Rule Approved
Jay Adams
Published March 20, 2013 at 2:20 PM
Under the new crown-of-helmet rule, this run during the playoffs by Jacquizz Rodgers would likely be ruled a 15-yard penalty on the Falcons
The NFL owners voted Wednesday to approve a proposed rule change that would make it illegal for running backs to lower their heads before contact or for tacklers to do the same. The proposal passed by a vote of 31-1, with the Cincinnati Bengals being the only team to vote against.
"We really think the time has come that we need to address the situation in space when a runner or a tackler has a choice as to how they are going to approach the opponent," Falcons president Rich McKay, chairman of the NFL Competition Committee, told NFL.com. "We are going to say that you can't make that choice ducking your head and delivering a blow, a forcible blow, with the top crown of your helmet. We are trying to protect the runner or the tackler from himself in that instance."
The owners also voted to abolish the controversial tuck rule by a 29-1-2 vote. The Steelers voted against the rule and the Patriots and Redskins abstained.
The "Tuck Rule" gained notoriety during the 2001 playoffs when New England quarterback Tom Brady dropped a ball at the start of the passing motion. Under the tuck rule, the play was ruled an incomplete pass because the ball came loose as Brady's arm was going forward.
Also, the owners voted to change the rule regarding an illegal throwing of a challenge flag, which head coach Mike Smith was in violation of against the Cardinals when he threw a challenge flag on a play that was automatically reviewed. The rule previously stated that, under those circumstances, a team would be charged 15 yards and the review would be wiped out. The new rule now states that a team will be charged a timeout under these circumstances, but the play will still be reviewed.

Estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and ERbeta are transcription factors that can be activated by both ligand binding and growth factor signaling. Estradiol increases ER activity in part by enhancing interactions between its carboxy-terminal, ligand-binding domain (LBD) and the p160/SRC (steroid receptor coactivator) and p300/CBP (cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) binding protein) families of coactivators. In the absence of ligand and the LBD, these cofactors can also interact with the amino-terminal (A/B) domain of ERs in vitro. SRC-1 also enhances the ligand-independent activity of the full-length receptor. Both ligand-independent and estradiol-induced ER activity are increased by phosphorylation at specific serine (Ser) residues in the A/B domain (Ser104/106 and Ser118 in ERalpha). In the case of ERbeta, phosphorylation enhances the ligand-independent recruitment and action of SRC-1. We show here that unliganded ERalpha can activate endogenous gene expression in MCF-7 cells, and that this activation is mediated in part by a p160 coactivator. In transfected HeLa cells, we show that the full-length ERalpha can interact physically and functionally with p160/SRCs and CBP in the absence of ligand and that mutation of Ser104/106/118 affects these interactions. Accordingly, ERalpha dephosphorylation decreases its ligand-independent interaction with SRC-1 and CBP in vitro. In HeLa cells, both Ser104/106 and Ser118 impinge on SRC-1 action by two mechanisms: 1) a seemingly indirect effect on SRC-1 recruitment that requires other receptor domains in addition to the A/B, consistent with our finding that the ligand-independent interaction between the A/B and the LBD and its enhancement by SRC-1 depend in part on Ser104/106/118; and 2) an effect on SRC-1 coactivation that can be observed in the absence of the LBD. Ser104/106/118 can also affect coactivation by a subset of coactivators in the presence of hormone, albeit to a lesser extent than in its absence. Altogether, our observations suggest that the enhancement of ERalpha activity by p160/SRCs and CBP can be regulated by phosphorylation and stress the importance of using full-length receptors to assess the role of the activation function-1 in cofactor recruitment.

Two Mesa men are in the custody of Pinal County Sheriff's deputies on suspicion of unlawful flight-related offenses after a police chase in Queen Creek early Monday.
Following a traffic stop, the men took off, and one of them barricaded himself in his parents' Apache Junction home for more than six hours. The standoff ended peacefully.
Deputies pulled over Tige Pittman, 35, and London Ferguson, 27, in a white Ford pickup about 4 a.m. near Ironwood and Ocotillo roads for not having a license plate, authorities said. When the deputy was checking on the truck's vehicle registration, the men fled, according to Lt. Tamatha Villar, Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
The deputy saw blood on Pittman's hands and drug paraphernalia on the seat of the truck, Villar said. Pittman was driving.
Ferguson surrendered at Pittman's parents' home near Southern Avenue and Mariposa Road, Villar said. Pittman, however, remained inside the home until the sheriff's office SWAT Team sent a robot inside to release tear gas. Pittman came out and surrendered, Villar said.

This is the basic understanding of what is expected of somebody who serves at St. Matthew's, what we believe. These are the parameters.
What we believe about ministry
Salvation in Jesus Christ automatically includes a call to ministry. Every believer is created, saved, called, gifted, authorized, and commanded to minister.
We believe ministry is the heart of the Christian life, that function follows form in ministry. How God made me determines what He intends for me to do. God has uniquely shaped each individual for a specific ministry.
We believe God has given all His children gifts that can be developed and used in ministry. Everyone is a "10" in some area. Everyone has something to offer. Developing and using your gifts is an act of good stewardship and of service.
We believe you discover your gift through ministry, instead of discovering your ministry by identifying your gifts. In other words, as you start serving, and you're going to find what you're gifted at doing.
The evidence of the right match between my shape and my ministry is fruitfulness and fulfillment.
Membership and maturity are prerequisites to ministry. At some time in the future, we will require class attendance and commitment to these three areas before serving through St. Matthew's. At this time, since we are so new, we have folks who are "grandfathered" into ministries. It is our hope that all leaders of ministries at St. Matthew's will want to attend and sign the covenants for Membership (101), Maturity (201) and Ministry (301).
What we believe about the body of Christ
God intends for ministry to be performed through the context of the local church. Membership includes a commitment to ministry. That's what membership means. It means I'm going to commit to ministry.
The Holy Spirit has provided our church body with all the spiritually gifted people needed to do everything He wants us to do. We believe our task is to discover, enlist, train, and support these people in ministry.
We believe that the church is to operate on the basis of spiritual gifts, rather than elected offices. We don't ever elect people to ministries. The Bible teaches, "A man's gift makes room for him." Prov. 18:16
We believe that the church is a body, not a business, an organism, not an organization. Therefore we streamline the structure in order to maximize ministry and minimize maintenance. We don't bury ministries under a bunch of procedures.
We believe the mobilization of every member as a minister is the key to balanced growth of the church.
We believe that the greater good of the whole body must always take priority over the needs of any single ministry. There is no place for turfism in God's family. In other words, as we grow, we will increase the occasions in which there are two or more ministry activities scheduled at the same time. We don't say, "All of you have to cancel just for the sake of the bell ministry," or "All of you have to cancel just for the sake of women's prayer group." We just realize that as we grow, nobody can be at everything, yet somebody attends something. So we offer lots of opportunities without any competition.
What we believe about the role of pastors at St. Matthew's
We believe the equipping of the members for ministry is the number one priority of the priest. The people are the ministers and the pastors are the administrators. (Ephesians 4:11 - 12)
The objective of the Priest is to mobilize and equip an army of ministers who are maximizing their unique gifts, heart, abilities, personality and experiences in a meaningful place of service through our church.
We believe every member deserves personal assistance in discovering a meaningful place of service. We value the individual more than the ministry. That's why we're having personal interviews with every person.
What we believe about accountability
We believe we become what we are committed to. Therefore we encourage growth in commitment to Christ and His Church.
We believe everything rises or falls on leadership. No ministry can exceed the commitment of those leading it.
We believe one mark of a maturing church is that the standards for leadership are raised every year. When we first started out, to be a leader at St. Matthew's all you had to do was be a warm body and breathe. It was like "Please Help!" But now there are standards of leadership and they are increasing every year.
We believe there must be periodic reviews of all ministries. We do what is inspected, not just what is expected. Best intentions are not enough. According to St. Matthew's Policies and Procedures, we have three Trusties. One of their duties is to provide a performance audit of each of the purposes the Body Leadership Team members lead. We want to be sure that all the ministries at St. Matthew's are actually strengthening at least one of our five purposes. At this time, we do not have our Trusties in place.
What we believe about training
Every leader is a learner. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. We emphasize on the job training more than pre-service training. We learn best by doing. We delegate to develop people. A lot of churches, before you can start any ministry, you've got to go through about 52 weeks of some class. At St. Matthew's, you go through this class, you're in. Why? Because if somebody wants to go through 52 weeks of study before they ever start a ministry, they're just a professional student. They don't really want to minister; they just want to learn. We say, "Get involved in ministry and then we'll teach you on the job." You don't even know the questions, until you're on the job.
What we believe about the diversity of ministry
We have unity without uniformity. We believe diversity in ministries simply illustrates the unique giftedness of individuals.
Any member who has completed Class 301 may start a new ministry with the assistance of the Priest and the Body Leadership Team (BLT). If you've got an idea, great! You're never too old to serve God and others." Isn't that great?
We believe every ministry must fill one or more of the basic purposes of the church or we don't do it.
We believe ministries have life cycles. If a ministry isn't meeting a need anymore, we will give it a decent burial. We kill it. There are no sacred cows at St. Matthew's. There is a saying: Sacred cows make great hamburger! Some churches have half a dozen programs that are dead. They just need to bury them and be done with it! The most expensive thing to do is to keep a corpse from stinking.
We believe that most ministries require a one year commitment but we allow people to change ministries gracefully, without guilt. We don't lock people in permanently.
We believe your primary ministry commitment should be in the area where you're gifted. Your secondary ministry includes serving in any other area of the body where you are needed.
We believe you're not ready for ministry until you are willing to serve anywhere.
What we believe about performance
We expect excellence in ministry, not perfection. Excellence is doing your best. God deserves our best.
We encourage creativity and innovation in ministry, which assumes that mistakes will be made. No mistakes mean you're not growing or trying anything new. We have no failures in ministry at St. Matthew's, only experiments that didn't work. You're not growing if you're not developing. If the same mistake is made more than once, that means there is no learning taking place. But new mistakes are great. That means they're trying. They're developing. If a person says, "I want to start a ministry." The BLT will make sure that it supports one of our Purposes, then say, great! Go for it! Try it! Six months down the road, perhaps it's dead. That's ok. It just means it was the wrong timing, wrong person, or God didn't want us to do it at this point, fine. It's a learning experience. Everybody's a 10. You just have to find the right area.
We believe that a failed project does not mean a failed person. There are no wrong people, only right people in the wrong ministry. Dean Payne (from Saddleback), who started the video tape ministry just did it on his own. He told Rick Warren that, he sends his mother in her late 80's a tape every week of the service. She lives in Portland. And she got a group of little blue haired ladies together. They sit around in a circle and she plays the tape for them every week and they discuss it. About a month ago, she went to a local pastor and said, "I've got five ladies in my group who've accepted Christ. They need somebody to baptize them." Here's a lady in her 80's. Isn't that incredible! God can use anybody and He uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways.

text: FAA furloughs officially suspendedBy CNN StaffUpdated 4:24 PM ET, Wed May 1, 2013A plane takes off past the control tower at San Francisco International Airport on February 25. Story highlightsPresident Barack Obama signs bill to end FAA furloughsHis signature was delayed by a typo in the billDespite the delayed signature, the fix went into effect over the weekendThousands of delays were attributed to the weeklong staffing cutsAfter a typo-related delay, legislation was signed by President Barack Obama Tuesday to end budget-related FAA air traffic controller furloughs that caused widespread travel delays last week. Despite the holdup on the president's signature, the fix went into effect over the weekend.An "s" missing from the word "accounts" was to blame, a congressional source told CNN. The bill gives the FAA permission to move money from other accounts that allows it to stop furloughing controllers. But the way the Senate version of the bill read, it would have limited the source of funds to an "account." The Senate bill has since been fixed.The FAA issued a statement Saturday saying that it had suspended all employee furloughs and expected normal operations to resume Sunday evening.In rare bipartisan accord, U.S. lawmakers passed the measure Friday, capping a major congressional initiative as delays snarled traffic at airports.The measure gives the Transportation Department budget planners new flexibility for dealing with forced spending cuts.It also allows authorities to protect 149 control towers at small- and medium-sized airports that are slated for closure for budgetary reasons.Thousands of flight delays were attributed to the furloughs last week.In time for hurricane season: Furloughs in forecast at NOAAU.S. airports don't stack up with global competitorsMore from travelThousands stranded as Nepal's only international airport remains shutHot in Hong Kong: 12 best restaurants for 2015 Eating in Modena: 7 foods every visitor to Italy's culinary capital should tryPowered by Livefyre

There is strong evidence across the globe that happiness is U-shaped. That is, holding other factors constant, our happiness typically starts off high when we're young. It then takes a gradual drop as we age, reaching a minimum when we're around our mid-40s, before rising again. The opposite holds true for depression: The incidence of depression peaks at around the mid-40s. Social scientists refer to this as the non-linear relationship between age and subjective well-being. We typically call it the midlife crisis. Next Page TOP 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Comments Show Comments More Like This Promoted Around the Web Special Features

It's been a number of years since I last read this -- very enjoyable narration by Claire Danes. I hope she does more.
Meanwhile, I anxiously await Atwood's third installment to the After-The-Flood Trilogy.
"Excellent dystopian sci-fi story!"
Great story. Excellent characters. And, after a short acclimation period, I decided that I liked Minnie Goode's narration job.

The author of 104 children's and young adult books, Myers doesn't write your average teen drama. Prom queen characters are replaced by high school dropouts or young soldiers, vampires by children growing up in single-parent homes.
"With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about," Myers says. There are 2 million kids in the United States who live below the poverty line, and 5 million who have had someone in their family go to jail.
Kids and teens from troubled backgrounds look for characters like themselves in books, Myers says. They "want to read these stories, because they want to know they're going to be OK," he says.
Myers knows the audience he wants to reach: He was once a part of it. Growing up as a foster child in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City, Myers dropped out of high school at age 17 and joined the Army. An uncle was killed when Myers was still a teen, which set off a series of heartbreaking events in his foster home, which included adults who dealt with alcoholism and depression. "My family disintegrated," Myers says.
But when he felt overwhelmed by problems at home or in his neighborhood, Myers says, "I could turn to books. I could move myself away."
He always liked to write, and teachers told him he was bright. Three years after joining the Army he started writing for magazines. It was "a small hobby," he says, writing after work and taking workshops. He got into writing for young people, in part, because it gave him an opportunity to explore what he had gone through as a teen.

This article discusses the use of sealers on ceramic and stone tiles used in kitchens and bathrooms. We describe the strength but also the water absorption properties of ceramic tiles as well as the risks of water penetration into a floor, subfloor and even building structure at tile grout joints. We include a table of the water resistant properties of each type of ceramic tile. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Ceramic & Stone Tile Sealer Advice for Bathrooms & KitchensOur page top photo shows a ceramic tile bathroom floor installed in the Lotus Club, New York City. At left we illustrate a Mexican clay tile installation in process in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. There was much debate about whether or not we should use a sealer on this tile exposed to the weather. This article series discusses current best design practices for kitchens and bathrooms, including layout, clearances, work space, and accessible kitchen and bathroom layout, clearances, turning space, grab bars, controls, etc. We include advice on choosing and installing kitchen countertops, cabinets, and kitchen or bathroom flooring, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures and fixture controls such as faucets. A list of kitchen and bath product manufactures and sources is included. [Click to enlarge any image] This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons. As detailed in Chapter 6 of Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: Strength and Water Absorption of Ceramic TilesThe body of a ceramic tile, also called the bisque, is made by heating a mixture of clay and other additives in a kiln. In general, the longer the clay is fired and the higher the temperature, the denser and stronger the tile will be and the more impervious to water absorption. Nonporous tiles that absorb little water will perform better in wet applications than porous tiles. The tile bisques manufactured according to ANSI standards are rated from nonvitreous to impervious (see Table 6-4). [Click any image or table to see an enlarged version with additional detail, commentary & source citation.] Guide to Using Kitchen or Bath Tile SealersA wide variety of proprietary sealers are available to protect natural stone against staining from grout, dirt, foods, and household products. In addition, some sealers help conceal minor scratches and increase slip resistance. Some products require regular reapplication and may cause a surface buildup unless stripped. Penetrating oil-type sealers may change the color of some types of stone and can even trap dirt in the finish. For best results, follow recommendations of the stone supplier and use products with an established track record. Guide to Using Tile Grout SealersWhile latex or acrylic additives help protect the grout from staining, sealing the grout after it cures provides the best protection. There are a wide variety of products on the market. Consult the directions regarding when and how often to apply. Many require reapplication annually or more often, depending on the specific use. Regardless, to keep grout from darkening and staining, it will need regular cleaning with a grout cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid oil-based soaps as they tend to

Walzer Medium Tree
Dressage SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Niedersuss
Model: Walzer Medium Tree
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle used from a friend for $1100 over 2 years ago. I was looking for a saddle to replace my Niedersuss Symphony with the Wide tree, which was too wide for my Appendix QH. I stumbled unto this jewel of a saddle.
Likes: I love the outside knee roll, it gives me the extra support needed to sit the trot, yet it is not too bulky. Others I tried were just too big. The saddle also puts me in correct position naturally.
Dislikes: Nothing!
Quality: Excellent quality construction. My Symphony saddle is still going and it is 10+ years old. My daughter now uses in on a wide QH mare. My Walzer is almost 6 years old and ridden in at least 4 times a week.
Summary: I recently had my Walzer custom fit to my young Trakehner. I plan to ride for years to come in this great saddle. I tried to find another used Walzer for my daughter, but have yet to find one.
