3-on-3 preview: Hornets at Heat, 7:30 ET
December, 8, 2012
Christopher Trotman/Getty Images
LeBron James does not approve of the New Orleans name switch to "Pelicans." But do you?
In another installment of the Heat Index's 3-on-3 series, our writers give their takes on the storylines before the Heat host the Hornets on Saturday and aim to improve to 13-5.
1. Over/Under: 100, Miami's points allowed tonight vs. NOH.
Tom Haberstroh: Under. I've never seen a Heat practice more serious and businesslike than Friday's. I thought the Heat were going to get back on track Thursday, so my prediction with a grain of salt: Hornets don't score 85 tonight.
Michael Wallace: Under. Way under. I'd be a bit surprised if the Hornets score 90, even though Miami is yielding 100.6 points a game this season.
Brian Windhorst: Under. LeBron has an "everybody makes shots against us" theory. The Heat, of course, need to look in the mirror on that issue; it's not a freak occurrence if it keeps happening. That said, the Hornets have one of the league's worst offenses. I know that was the case for Washington, too, but I suspect the Heat are going to try to take out some frustration.
2. Over/Under: 10, Miami's ranking in defensive efficiency at end of season.
Haberstroh: Over. Just over. The Heat would have to play top-notch defense the rest of the way to rise from 23rd all the way into the top 10, and I don't see them flipping the switch anytime soon. That's a lot of ground to make up.
Wallace: Under. We saw the Heat get off to similar sluggish starts defensively each of the past two seasons. Yet they always hit a stride and finish in the top 10 by the end of the season. As LeBron said, it's not as if the Heat are trying to work in 15 new players. It's about making the commitment to defensive dominance.
Windhorst: Over. They play a style of defense, and have for a while, that requires a great deal of energy. They have the ability to be a great defensive team, but they don't have the motive during the regular season. As much an improved offense as lack of focus.
3. Fact or Fiction: You approve of the "New Orleans Pelicans" name change.
Haberstroh: Fact. Not only do I approve but I endorse it. Pelicans are vicious, bloodthirsty animals. Don't believe me? Watch this. I'm looking at you, Dwyane and LeBron.
Wallace: Fiction. I've spent many years in Louisiana, having attended college and worked my first reporting job there. So I do have some emotion invested here. I don't like Pelicans. I'd instead prefer something a bit more distinct, like the Satchmo(e)s or the Jubilees.
Windhorst: Fact. The outrage is silly; most new nicknames seem odd at first. People didn't like "Thunder," either. Can you imagine if Twitter had been around when "Knickerbockers" or "Lakers" were announced? Back in the '80s, people made fun of "Heat." If the Pelicans become a good team, people will love it.

Whether it's just the two of you sharing a night under the stars or socializing with friends, sit back and relax to the hydrotherapy of 31 strategically placed jets powered by a 2.2 HP BT Hi flow energy efficient pump. This beautiful spa is spacious for a couple or comfortable for a family of five, and comes complete with a 12 volt light and a hard cover. The Econo-Boost energy recovery system recovers the heat generated by the pump and motor and returns it to the spa to help warm the water.

QCA Spas require far less energy than any other spa in its class and far exceeds the California Energy Compliance mandate. The spa is light weight and can be installed indoors or outdoors. Choose easy Plug and Play installation with 120 volt operation, or the optional 240 volt convertible installation. Our Plug and Play spas require no electrician to install and no plumber to fill. Simply plug the included 15 ft. GFCI protected electrical cord into a dedicated 120V/15 Amp home outlet, and that's it. Fill the spa with a garden hose and the spa's 1 KW heater will heat the water to the temperature you select on the electronic topside control (up to 104°F) It's that easy.

If only a small area is damaged, patch the hole only and level it off. For large holes, patch with a strong mortar mix before applying self-leveling compound.
Dampen the hole with some glue solution made up of four parts water to one part glue.
Once the glue is tacky, press some mortar into the hole and use a gauging trowel to smooth it over.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Lobby wants nutritional data on chain-restaurant menus
You're at your favourite restaurant and you open the familiar menu. You're surprised to find something new beside each item: its calorie count.
On further inspection you notice the side of bread you usually order to go along with your soup contains a shocking 706 calories, not to mention that your beloved salad, even without the dressing, contains more than 850 calories. Plan on the soup, and you're getting another 334 calories.
Your proposed dinner adds up to a whopping 1,890 calories -- approximately your total caloric requirement for the whole day, not including beverages.
Bill Jeffery, head of the Canadian arm of Centre For Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), hopes this imaginary scenario will eventually become reality.
He and his Ottawa-based lobby group will be in Winnipeg tomorrow (call 613-244-7337 for ticket information) to host Writing on the Wall, a five-city symposium series about putting nutrition information on chain restaurant menus. Local and international researchers will present their findings on the subject. He's also taking the symposium to Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax.
The purpose: To convince the public, health organizations and federal, provincial and municipal governments to legislate rules that would force chain restaurants to print calorie counts -- and perhaps sodium counts -- on their menus.
It's a move, Jeffery believes, that will help reduce the waistlines and boost the health of Canadians.
"In a lot of ways, restaurants have gotten away scot-free because they haven't had to be up front with their customers about the nutritional profiles of their foods," says Jeffery, noting that half of Canadians' food dollars are spent in restaurants. "This will make them more transparent from a nutritional perspective."
The United States Congress passed a law in 2010 requiring restaurant chains to publish calorie counts on menus and menu boards. The FDA is working on the menu rules -- set to go into effect soon -- according to the Washington branch of CSPI.
Jeffery says he won't cease his crusade until he sees similar rules in this country. The advocate spent six years successfully lobbying the federal government to enforce the mandatory nutrition labelling on pre-packaged goods we see today.
He was also part of the Sodium Working Group, a task force set up in 2007 by Health Canada to come up with strategies to cut Canadians' dangerously high sodium intake, a factor directly related to high blood pressure and heart disease. The task force's 2010 report called for Canadians to reduce sodium intake from 3,400 milligrams daily (the current national average intake) to 2,300 milligrams by 2016, based on the food industry volunteering to cut salt in their products.
(Health Canada has since disbanded the task force and handed over the salt-reduction campaign to a group critics say has close ties to the food industry).
Meanwhile, although menu labelling was left out of the pre-packaged food labelling rules, the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association created a program in which participating restaurants voluntarily put the association's nutrition information label on their websites and on handouts.
"It's almost completely useless. It's great for researchers. But it's almost no good for the public," says Jeffery, who believes consumers need to see the information when they are ordering.
He says such disclosure on menus would force chains to reformulate their recipes. "They'll use a little bit less oil, a little bit less sugar."
Earls is one such eatery that voluntarily discloses its nutritional content online. The chain has 50 restaurants around North America, including four locations in Winnipeg.
Cate Simpson, communications manager at the company's Vancouver head office says the decision was purely "altruistic"--mostly to let customers know about potential allergens.
She says the esthetics of putting calorie counts on menus wouldn't be so pretty.
"I think from a graphic (design) point of view, it wouldn't be as appealing," she says, noting that it's easy for customers to get the nutritional info about her restaurant online -- or to ask for a printout from restaurant staff.
She says if chain restaurants are forced to comply with calorie labelling on menus, so should independent restaurants.
Kris Kopansky, managing partner of Earls Polo Park, says his customers have told him they aren't interested in the calorie counts of the items they order, although they like to know the information is available.
Nevertheless, the Winnipegger says he would have no objections if rules changed, obligating his restaurant to print nutritional information on its menus.
"I'd be fine with that," says Kopansky. "It's important for restaurants to be held responsible for what they're putting in their food. It's part of doing business."
Some registered dietitians are against the idea of mandatory calorie labelling on menus because they believe Canadians might sacrifice a nutritious item with something low in calories but light on vitamins.
The Dietitians of Canada says in its official position statement that "more research is needed on this issue to determine its full potential as a way to promote healthier food choices and possibly prevent obesity."
CancerCare Manitoba President and CEO Dr. Dhali Dhaliwal says listing calorie counts on menus is one of many factors that can help Canadians reduce their weight and, therefore, their cancer risk.
Dhaliwal, an oncologist, says weight is the second leading contributor to cancer after smoking.
"The amount of smokers over the past 30 years has been cut in half," he says. "Meanwhile, the opposite is true when it comes to weight."
He says less than 30 per cent of the population was overweight three decades ago. Now, he says, 50 to 60 per cent of the population is overweight or obese.
He says colon cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreas cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, endometrial cancer and gall bladder cancer are all related to weight.
"The number of calories has been increasing progressively over each decade," he says, noting that Canadians, along with reducing their overall calorie count, need to up their intake of fruits and vegetables.
"This hasn't just occurred out of the blue. It's driven partly by our lifestyle related to eating out a lot more and cheap calories being available readily," says Dhaliwal.
River Heights resident Priscilla Kerr agrees, although she's not interested in seeing calorie counts on restaurant menus.
"When I want to diet, I cook at home. I have control what I'm going to eat," says Kerr, who dines out once every couple of months. "When I'm going (out to a restaurant) I just go and have fun. I don't want to be stressed about what I'm eating."
The acupuncturist and pain specialist--who was a family physician in Brazil before she immigrated to Winnipeg -- says Canadians who overdose on "fast food and garbage" most likely won't change their dining habits based on menu labelling.
"I'm not sure it's going to make a huge difference."

Mid-project update
Well the basic grading is mostly done, and boy do things look different! We had no idea that the previous owners had spread 6 inches of dirt on top of the oak tree roots, I'm glad we found out and were able to remove it but now we have a huge pile of dirt we need to have hauled away.
That is a lot to get rid of, but you might try a craigslist posting or a developer that is building new homes. Surely someone nearby needs fill dirt but it looks better than bad fill dirt.
Sometimes trees die when covering surface roots so if that is what they did they got lucky in not killing the trees.
Yeah, I'm really glad the trees are okay. I think the dirt was only there for about a year before we got our house, because it probably came from when they dug the new leach lines for the septic tank. So it was there for 5 years at most, which is not very long in tree time I think... The old surface level was very obvious, because there was still a layer of dyed mulch - the same ugly mulch I removed from the front of the house when I first moved in.
Wow, that's a lot of dirt. Are you sure you don't want some raised planters somewhere?
What about a berm in the front yard? That will reduce traffic noise inside your home (if you have traffic noise out front).
Or advertise the dirt as a solution to that problem on Craig's List. It can be tough to get rid of for free or very expensive to have disposed of.
I wish we had room for a berm in the front yard, unfortunately we'll have to settle for a rather short raised bed. Luckily my Mom's property has plenty of room and some land that needs smoothing out anyways, so she's happy to have the dirt spread around her yard. It's looking like we might solve two problems at once, which will be very nice.
More progress has been made but we're still not done yet. We got some rock in the yard and the dry creek is starting to take shape. We're going to get a few more boulders and some cobbles and smaller river rock next week and hopefully finish this part off.

Breakfast with the Ogle's
We returned to the Ogle's cabin in the woods where Glen and Lois prepared a Colorado Omelet over the campfire in a very large frying pan with a large garbage can lid for the lid. It consisted of 3 dozen eggs, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and then with cheese added on top at the last just to melt. It was very, very good.

Impatience with a purpose
PARIS -- After he first served for the match -- and managed to fail -- Rafael Nadal almost seemed amused.
He smiled at his box, shook his head in wonderment and walked slowly to the baseline to receive Jurgen Melzer's serve. Even four-time French Open champions can't make every shot, win every game.

Some minutes later, order returned and Nadal converted his third match point early Friday evening when Melzer's forehand fell into the net. Although it's been a little squirrelly on the women's side -- neither Francesca Schiavone nor Sam Stosur has ever played in a major final, much less won one -- the men's draw has played out quite nicely.
The next best thing after a Nadal-Federer final? The one that will be played Sunday.
Nadal has won 37 of 38 matches here at Roland Garros, and now he has the delicious opportunity to defeat the man responsible for that sole blight on his record.
Robin Soderling weathered a 3-hour, 27-minute match with Tomas Berdych 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 to reach his second consecutive French Open final. It was Soderling who stunned Nadal in the fourth round a year ago before eventually losing to Roger Federer.
Nadal booked his spot in the final by beating Melzer 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (6) for his 21st straight win on clay. Afterward, when on-court announcer Cedric Pioline asked Nadal whether he was plotting revenge, the Spaniard declined to go there.
"I would not say that," Nadal said. "He's playing really, really well. [I will] just go on court and do my best. We will see what happens on Sunday.
"He's a very, very dangerous player. A different kind of game. The serve, very flat shots, very impressive."
Meanwhile, Soderling and Berdych were in a dead heat 46 games into the match when the Swede finally distanced himself. He broke Berdych, who was serving at 3-all in the fifth set, at love. A forehand winner, a superb running backhand pass by Soderling, punctuated by a frozen stiff backhand into the net by Berdych, gave Soderling the cushion he needed.
Another languid backhand by Berdych sent Soderling into the final.
"He's the only one who beat him here," Berdych said of Soderling and Nadal, "so I think he's got really big chance."
Said Soderling, "He beat me a lot of times, and I beat him a few times. So it was not the last match. We played one or two times after that.
"But, of course, it's always good to have beaten a player before. I know that I can beat him. I showed it."
The benchmark for Nadal dominance in Paris is 2008. He won his fourth consecutive French Open without dropping a set -- for the first time -- and lost only 41 games in seven matches.
Through six matches, Nadal hasn't been quite as clean this time around, losing 61 games, but tennis aficionados say this can be explained by a few tweaks Rafa has made in his game since losing to Soderling here a year ago.
"After a tough year, he's got that spark back," said ESPN analyst Darren Cahill, who coached Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt. "He's got a better schedule, and he looks fresh. After the loss last year, the expectations are lower and he's playing a lot freer."
Technically, Cahill said, one of the ATP World Tour's most deliberate players is playing closer to the baseline and trying to finish points more quickly. The 19-year-old kid who played eight feet behind the baseline and was content to rally for days has given way to an older, wiser veteran who is trying to reduce his exposure on the court.
"His ball's a little flatter; the ball is jumping," Cahill said. "The few players who can occasionally take the ball early on him, they're seeing fewer opportunities. I think a lot of it is the new strings."

In December, Nadal switched from yellow Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour strings to the Babolat RPM Blast, a black, octagon-shaped string also used by Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
"It helps me hit deeper with spin," Nadal says in a Babolat commercial. "I have more power."
After his quarterfinal victory over Nicolas Almagro, Nadal added, "I think it's easier to feel the ball. Seems like the ball stays more time on the racket, so is easier to have the control."
Mats Wilander, who won the French Open three times, sees more mistakes -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"In '05 and '06, he never missed," said Wilander, an analyst for Eurosport. "He was throwing a lot of loopy balls, but now he's missing long more than usual. He's finishing the points quicker, and I think he knows it's better for his body."
When Nadal skipped his favorite tournament back in April (Barcelona, where he was a five-time champion), it confirmed that he was serious about reducing his schedule and, with it, the wear and tear on his 24-year-old body.
"Because he has such a heavy topspin, Rafa can be more aggressive and the ball stays in the court," said U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe. "Now, at the end of a match, like [the fourth round, against Thomaz Bellucci], he goes for it a little bit more. He's finally learned that it makes no sense to wear yourself out."
McEnroe said Nadal's evolution is a natural one.
"Usually, when great players try to improve their game on other surfaces, they get worse on clay," McEnroe said. "I would point to [Ivan] Lendl, Wilander, [Jim] Courier and Guga Kuerten, to an extent. They all tried to play bigger, serve bigger, finish points more quickly. Inevitably, they lose patience on clay. You can't help it."
But even an impatient Rafa seems to be better than anyone else at Roland Garros.

vinyl flooring on shower walls
krazydawdladyOctober 30, 2013
I've read about people using high quality vinyl flooring as a tub surround in a shower. My sister has this in a rental house she bought and said it appears to be working fine and is easy to clean. She sent me pics and it actually looks pretty nice (I was skeptical when I first heard about it).
Has anyone tried this?
I'm sure that some landlords do that because, well, some landlords will do anything that's the least effort to do, no matter what. There's nothing cheaper than 4x4 or 3x6 ceramic tile and it will look 1000% better than vinyl on a tub wall. It's fairly easy to DIY as well, and this forum can walk you through that.

Fabulous School
By a Former Student on
That is false this school, unlike most, is running in the black. Not to mention 9:1 student teacher ratio is better than most can offer. This school has given me a wonderful education that as lead to a number of opportunities I wouldn't otherwise have been offered.

Flourish: Chicago's Linux Event Is This Weekend
Published on 05 April 2014 02:29 AM EDT

1 Comment
Flourish, one of the few Linux conferences held in the Chicagoland area each year, is happening this weekend. To much sadness, Flourish 2014 isn't as exciting as past years.
Flourish is the Linux conference organized each year by the Linux student group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Flourish is now into its eighth year. The event this year is just taking place today, on Saturday, 5 April.
The conference this year is not really as exciting as previous years for this rare Chicago Linux event... In some of the past years it's happened for two (or possibly even three days, if counting the first Friday afternoon and going through Sunday), in past years there's been prominent speakers like
Ryan Gordon talking about Linux gaming
(in fact, he spoke
multiple years
at Flourish), and there's been parties and other interesting items about this conference.
This year it's happening just on Saturday and I have a hard time finding any of the talks interesting. The
Flourish 2014 schedule
has come together a bit more in recent days but overall there's at most three sessions simultaneously throughout the day, the talks are mostly about general open-source software or Bitcoin (in fact, Bitcoin seems to be the most popular topic this year), and various JavaScript / HTML5 talks.
The Flourish conference is free to attend and while I applaud the students for organizing this open-source / Linux event, there will not be any coverage of the event on Phoronix this year as I find it hard to justify going downtown for this one-day event that appears to be only some rather light talks this year. Hopefully next year will be better. For those Chicagoland area readers free today and interested in the topics mentioned, you can learn more about Flourish via
their website
At least this year, come the end of August, LinuxCon North America is being hosted in Chicago by the Linux Foundation. LinuxCon NA 2014 is happening 20 to 22 August at the Sheraton hotel. We're excited and the LinuxCon events are usually great and worth attending.

The just-announced U.S.-China climate agreement is reason to celebrate—it's a, as UCS's Ken Kimmell puts it, "truly historic agreement" and "a welcome breakthrough." For those with an interest in energy-water connections and collisions, the agreement commits both countries to a project focused on reducing the negative water implications of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Here's why we're even talking about water around CCS, and what this accord says about that the issue. Read More

Another Faulty New York Times Op-ed: 5 Reasons Why an Attack on LEDs Is Way Off the Mark
October 9th, 2014
An op-ed in today's New York Times from Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus tries to throw cold water on this week's exciting announcement of the Nobel Prize for Physics being awarded for blue LEDs, which made white LEDs possible and increasingly ubiquitous. This op-ed comes on the heels of a similar NYT-published contrarian piece on trees and climate change. Today's, sadly, is similarly misguided.

UCS's new solar infographic highlights the remarkable drop in the cost of rooftop solar in recent years, and how people are getting systems for even less, or even for zero dollars down.

The Economist Ignores Reality, Highlights Flawed Renewable Energy Study
August 13th, 2014
A recent article in The Economist covers a study comparing the costs of solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, and natural gas.

DEFINITION of 'Net Operating Loss - NOL'
A period in which a company's allowable tax deductions are greater than its taxable income, resulting in a negative taxable income. This generally occurs when a company has incurred more expenses than revenues during the period.
The net operating loss for the company can generally be used to recover past tax payments or reduce future tax payments. The reasoning behind this is that because corporations are required to pay taxes when they earn money, they also deserve some form of tax relief when they lose money.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Net Operating Loss - NOL'
If a company has a net operating loss, it can apply this tax relief in two ways: it can apply the net operating loss to its past tax payments and receive a tax credit; or it could apply the net operating loss to future income tax payments, reducing the need to make payments in future periods. The terms of the tax relief and how it can be applied varies by jurisdiction but usually the NOL can be applied to the past few years (two to three) and much more to the future (seven to 10) years.

#11 'Box of Chocolates' Datura from Blicon
ruth_ann(Z5 Ont.Can.)August 20, 2010
Here is the first bloom from #11 of Jack's seeds.
It has very dark purple markings, less mottled and darker than 152-3. The face has a better, cleaner look, it doesn't look 'dirty' like I found 152-3 to look.
Very nice. What I think was my #142-3 looks very similar to that one but the outside of the bloom had more purple. Almost like a regular metel. My 292-3 and 169-70 were either mainly yellow or white with purple mottling. The yellow had the "dirty" appearance that you mentioned but I really like the white with purple speckles. Only a few have sent out multiple blooms so far.
