BRUSSELS (Reuters) - It started as an informal dinner among European finance ministers more than 14 years ago and has steadily gained prominence under its veteran president, Jean-Claude Juncker.
But on Monday the grey-haired Juncker, 58, handed the reins of the Eurogroup to a polished 46-year-old Dutchman, promising a new approach to how economic policy among the 17 euro zone countries is shaped and decided.
After a 16-1 vote, the finance ministers named Jeroen Dijsselbloem, an Irish-educated social democrat with flawless English, to succeed Juncker, a Luxembourger who had headed the group for eight years. Only Spain opposed the appointment.
Juncker's departure signals the end of an era during which policy - including some of the most critical decisions of the debt crisis - was frequently discussed until the early hours of the morning over dinner and wine in a smoke-filled room.
Part of a generation of old-school politicians, Juncker disarmed but often irritated ministers with his dry sense of humour, speaking openly of having to lie about issues to the media and discussing his problems with kidney stones.
Olli Rehn, the European commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, praised Juncker as one of a kind.
"His shrewd and witty locker-room talk helped to boost morale," Rehn told a news conference as Juncker bowed out, although he will continue as Luxembourg's prime minister.
A mercurial dealmaker, Juncker was pushed to the forefront of Europe's financial firefighting when Greece revealed in 2009 that it had lied about its borrowings and run up huge debts, forcing Athens into a multi-billion-euro bailout.
Crafty and quick-witted, with a gravelly voice from heavy smoking, Juncker was always the first official to brief the media at the end of monthly Eurogroup meetings, making him one of the most prominent communicators in the EU.
But it was a tall order for a man from a country of just 500,000 people to run arguably Europe's most important decision-making body. He faced criticism in early 2011 when he told a conference in Brussels he sometimes lied, telling his audience that he favoured "secret, dark debates."
Those comments fostered a sense of disarray and prompted France and Germany to favour creating a permanent, full-time post, something which has not yet come to pass. Dijsselbloem will serve for two years, although it can be renewed.
With the debt crisis calming down, the Anglophile Dutchman indicated that Eurogroup meetings might even end earlier.
"Hopefully the economic situation of the euro area will allow us to meet at normal hours, not very, very early in the morning," Dijsselbloem said.
Despite complaining of the exhaustion of the job, Juncker won credit for overseeing a series of unprecedented decisions in 2010-2012 that eventually saved Greece from insolvency and helped stem the spreading debt contagion.
"If the Eurogroup hadn't existed before the crisis, someone would have had to had invented it," said Andre Sapir, an economist at Brussels-based think tank Bruegel.
Privately, EU diplomats and officials hope Dijsselbloem, who has won plaudits for his conciliatory and straightforward style, will help restore a sense of discipline.
The meetings have at times degenerated into unstructured arguments in a room, some present have said. A session in November that failed to reach agreement on how to make Greece's debt manageable culminated in a clash between Juncker and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde.
But Dijsselbloem's relative inexperience - he had been finance minister of the Netherlands barely six weeks when his name was first floated as a Eurogroup contender - also signals that he remains reliant on Berlin to take decisions.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy and the largest donor to the euro zone's permanent rescue fund, is setting the agenda on European policymaking at a time when Germany voters are increasingly wary of bailouts for southern Europe.
"The power in elsewhere, in Berlin, and to a much lesser extent in Paris," said Paul De Grauwe at the London School of Economics. "This is going to be the same - an ineffectual Eurogroup dominated by what's decided in Berlin."

Narcon - Pharmacology:
While the mechanism of action of naloxone is not fully understood, the preponderance of evidence suggests that naloxone antagonizes the opioid effects by competing for the same receptor sites, especially the opioid mu receptor. Recently, naloxone has been shown to bind all three opioid receptors (mu, kappa and gamma) but the strongest binding is to the mu receptor.

Name:________________ IS-9 Food Rules 3.1.10 In the Unhappy Meals article that we read last week, Michael Pollan explains why the scientific way of understanding food – studying one nutrient at a time and breaking food down to its individual components (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, etc.) - doesn't really work. As we read, he offered up three simple rules for eaters: #1. Eat food. #2. Not too much. #3. Mostly plants. As I told you guys last week, I don't buy into all of this. I eat meat most every day, though it is usually from a moose, caribou, salmon, or halibut. Still, I like a hamburger and some of you guys give me a hard time about my Friday morning donuts and my constant cookie cravings. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to think about how we eat and how those decisions interact with the body systems that we have been studying. We'll be looking at two sets of "food rules" here – one group of 20 rules that random people submitted to Michael Pollan, and another group of 64 that Pollan himself wrote which grew out of his more simplified three rules that we previously discussed. Enjoy! Task #1 Go to Mr. Mason's website and follow the link labeled "Food – 20 Rules to Eat By". Scroll through the 20 rules and actually consider what each means. 1. Which of these rules do you like the most? Do you think you could actually live by this rule? Explain. 2. Which rule do you most disagree with? Why? Is it really not good advice, or would it just be too hard to follow? 3. Give me feedback on at least one other rule. This can be anything at all – one that made you laugh, your 2nd favorite, one you'd like to follow but just can't give up the food that is involved – whatever, just be sure to give me 2-3 sentences of real thought. Task #2 Read the following 64 rules. Yes, all of them. I stayed up late on Sunday night to type them out for you, so please actually read through them. As you go, make a note of the ones you agree with, the ones you disagree with, and those that you don't understand. There are questions at the end. Part I – What Should I Eat? 1. Eat food. 2. Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. 3. Avoid food products containing ingredients that no ordinary human would keep in the pantry. 4. Avoid food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup. 5. Avoid foods that have some form of sugar or sweetener listed among the top three ingredients. 6. Avoid food products that contain more than 5 ingredients. 7. Avoid food products containing ingredients that a 3rd grader cannot pronounce. 8. Avoid food products that make health claims. 9. Avoid food products with the words "-oid" or "lite", or the terms "low-fat" or "non-fat" in their names. 10. Avoid foods that are pretending to be something they're not. 11. Avoid foods you see advertised on television. 12. Shop the peripheries (edges) of the supermarket and stay out of the middle. 13. Eat only foods that will eventually rot. 14. Eat foods made from ingredients that you can picture in their raw state or growing in nature. 15. Get out of the supermarket whenever you can. 16. Buy your snacks at the farmers' market. 17. Eat only foods that have been cooked by humans. 18. Don't ingest foods made in places where everyone is required to wear a surgical cap. 19. If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't. 20. It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car. 21. It's not food if it is called by the same name in every language. (Think Big Mac, Cheetos, Pringles.) Part II – What Kind of Food Should I Eat? 22. Eat mostly plants, especially leaves. 23. Treat meat as a flavoring or a special occasion food. 24. "Eating what stands on one leg [mushrooms and plant foods] is better than eating what stands on two legs [birds], which is better than eating what stands on four legs [cows, pigs, etc.]." (Chinese proverb) 25. Eat your colors. 26. Drink the spinach water. 27. Eat animals that have themselves eaten well. (Cows that have eaten grass, for example, instead of corn. Or moose. Or wild salmon.) 28. If you have the space, buy a freezer. 29. Eat like an omnivore. 30. Eat well-grown food from healthy soil. 31. Eat wild foods when you can. 32. Don't overlook the oily little fishes. 33. Eat some foods that have been pre-digested by bacteria or fungi. (yogurt, sauerkraut, soy sauce, etc.) 34. Sweeten and salt your food yourself. 35. Eat sweet foods as you find them in nature. 36. Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk. 37. "The wider the bread, the sooner you'll be dead." (Jewish and Italian Grandmothers) 38. Favor the kinds of oils and grains that have been traditionally stone- ground. 39. Eat all the junk food you want, as long as you cook it yourself. 40. Be the kind of person who takes supplements – then skip the supplements. 41. Eat more like the French. Or the Japanese. Or the Italians. Or the Greeks. 42. Regard non-traditional foods with skepticism. 43. Have a glass of wine with dinner. (It should be noted here that he is not advocating alcohol consumption. Red wine has certain chemicals in it that reduce the risk of heart disease. That being said, it is not absolutely necessary…so have milk instead. ) Part III – How Should I Eat? 44. Pay more, eat less. 45. …eat less. 46. Stop eating before you're full. 47. Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored. 48. Consult your gut. 49. Eat slowly. 50. "The banquet is in the first bite." (This means that the first bites are the most enjoyable.) 51. Spend as much time enjoying the meal as you took to prepare it. 52. Buy smaller plates and glasses. 53. Serve a proper portion and don't go back for seconds. 54. "Breakfast is like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper." 55. Eat meals. 56. Limit your snacks to unprocessed plant foods. 57. Don't get your fuel from the same place your car does. 58. Do all your eating at a table. 59. Try not to eat alone. 60. Treat treats as treats. 61. Leave something on your plate. 62. Plant a vegetable garden if you have space, a window-box if you don't. 63. Cook. 64. Break the rules once in a while. Task #2 Questions 1. What are your three favorite rules? For each one, tell me why you like it. Your reasons can certainly vary. a. b. c. 2. Which two rules do you think would be very difficult to follow, even though you agree that they are good advice? Why? a. b. 3. Which two rules do you completely disagree with? I'm talking about sheer ridiculousness, you've got to be kidding me, that is terrible advice kind of rules. Why? a. b. 4. Give me at least ONE food rule of your own. Ideally this is something you at least try to follow, but it can be something you would like to do but haven't tried yet. Extra credit may be awarded for multiple rules or really, really good ones.

HAVE: fibrecraft patterns galore!!!
I have lots of the fibrecraft doll patterns and crochet dollies etc. patterns. Recently inherited a collection of patterns that seems endless. I am not much into crocheting but do love sewing and quilting. I would love to trade copies of patterns for sewing patterns, pins, needles,and other small inexpensive sewing gadgets. I am starting a sewing group for anyone who wants to learn the basics of hand sewing and machine sewing. My goal is to share a few hours a month with what I anticipate will be younger people and new moms who may or may not have the financial means to take a class. My friend and I have talked about this for years and if time keeps going by it will just be talk!! Since I wish to do this at a near no cost sewing gathering it maybe that I can trade my extras to fulfill your needs with my desire to do something bigger then myself. Sooooo...if you have specific needs let me know and if I can help out I sure will!! Judy
Lucinda, Do you have any specific ones you want? I am overwhelmed with how many are here and have discovered I have the group of nursery girls...like Cinderalla, little Bo Peep, etc. As well as many of the bed dolls. I am copying you a couple from each grouping, but more then likely there is one you actually have seen that you would like. Let me know!! Chuckling that you are so close. If you ever get up North let me know and I can meet you in town and we can have coffee and you can look thru these books!! Judy
I love the bed doll series from FibreCraft. I had the entire series when married to my ex but our basement was very damp and my books got ruin. I have managed to get a few of them replaced but there are still a lot I haven't been able to find. Could you send me a list of the ones you have? I greatly appreciate your help.
Oh you're awesome! I can send you many various items, if you have the treasure topper pattern. It's for an air freshener doll and has a picture of 2 dolls on the front. I've been looking all over the place! I also have many different sewing/quilt top patterns that I would love to trade.

10 Myths and Facts About Adult Acne
If you lived with acne as a teenager, you probably heard all sorts of advice about why you developed acne and what you should do about it. "You eat too many potato chips!" "You don't wash your face enough!" "Cut down on the chocolate!" The fact is that most of what you thought you knew about acne as a teen -- and much of what you may think you know about adult acne -- is probably a myth. Here are some common acne myths.

Read the 10 Myths and Facts About Adult Acne article > >
If you have acne, choosing the right cleanser can help rid your skin of the bacteria that make their way into clogged hair follicles and lead to breakouts. A thorough cleaning also removes dead cells on the surface of your skin, which makes it easier for your acne medication to be absorbed.
To help control acne breakouts, look for a cleanser that is strong enough to remove dirt and keep skin clean. Avoid harsh face soaps that can strip your skin of its natural oils. Harsh cleansers and scrubbing will only leave you with red, irritated skin that can promote flare-ups of your existing acne.
You can ask your dermatologist to recommend a prescription or over-the-counter cleanser that works on acne-prone skin, but also pay careful attention to your daily acne skin care routine. Here are a few tips on choosing skin care products, and cleaning your skin to keep it looking its best.
Which Cleansers Should I Use?
You can buy an inexpensive over-the-counter cleanser at your local supermarket or drug store. Or, if you're willing to spend a little more, you can splurge on one of the high-end cleansers that are sold at your dermatologists' office. It's not how much you spend that's important, but how well the product works.
Some brands of face soap have a very alkaline pH, which can be irritating and drying on your skin. When shopping for cleansers that work well on acne-prone skin, here's what to look for:
- Choose a gentle, nonabrasive, and alcohol-free cleanser.
- Ask your dermatologist to help you find an acne cleanser that is appropriate for your acne treatment program. Look for an acne cleanser that matches your skin type -- oily, dry, or a combination of the two.
- Some acne cleansers and face soaps have added ingredients to fight acne and improve the skin's appearance. Medicated cleansers contain acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, sodium sulfacetamide, or benzoyl peroxide, which can help clear up skin while cleaning it. Salicylic acid helps clear blocked pores and reduces swelling and redness. Benzoyl peroxide exfoliates the skin and kills bacteria. Sodium sulfacetamide interferes with the growth of bacteria.
- To keep your skin hydrated, look for cleansers that contain emollients (petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and ceramides) or humectants (glycerin), which hold moisture in your skin, or exfoliants (alphahydroxy acids) to smooth rough areas.

Swire Hotels to Open EAST, Miami at Brickell MUD in 2015
Thursday April 24th, 2014 - 8:47AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
MIAMI—Swire Hotels will open its first U.S. hotel—EAST, Miami—in 2015 at Brickell City Center, Swire Properties Inc.'s $1.5 billion mixed-use development in Miami's Brickell downtown district.
It will be the hotel group's third hotel under the EAST brand, after the openings of EAST, Hong Kong in Island East in 2010 and EAST, Beijing at Indigo, Beijing in 2013.
"Interest on the part of premiere hospitality companies in flagging a Brickell City Center hotel was robust due to their desire to secure a prime location in the tony Brickell market and due to the inclusion of luxury retail in our project," stated Stephen Owens, president of Swire Properties Inc. "We were ultimately able to select from among 10 upscale hotel brands in choosing Swire Hotels' EAST for our flag."
Brian Williams, managing director of Swire Hotels, commented, "We are very excited to be expanding our portfolio to the United States with EAST, Miami. Our hotel aims to create different and surprising experiences that complement the lives of our guests and enhance their lifestyle. EAST is designed to meet the needs of travelers in Miami while complementing Brickell City Center's offerings."
Designed by architecture firm Arquitectonica with interiors by New York-based Clodagh Design, EAST, Miami will offer 263 rooms and 89 serviced apartments known as EAST Residences, with kitchen and laundry facilities. Meeting rooms, common areas, guestrooms and serviced apartments will offer modern décor.
EAST, Miami will feature a paperless arrival and departure experience and a one-stop front-desk guest experience team.
Swire Hotels will bring two restaurants, a poolside bar and lounge and a rooftop destination bar, as well as meeting rooms and banquet halls with bay views, an outdoor pool deck that can be used for private events, a 24-hour fitness center and wellness treatment rooms.
In addition to these amenities, guestrooms include floor-to-ceiling windows, a multi-control panel for blinds and mood lighting inside the rooms and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property.
Swire Hotels also recently opened The Temple House in Chengdu, China, which will be the group's fifth hotel in Asia, following The Opposite House and EAST in Beijing and The Upper House and EAST in Hong Kong.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

I'm preparing to make a little IDE that allows to expand function/macro calls to their definitions right in the place they are called (and do that recursively if needed, so that if funciton A calls B, I expand B, then B calls C - I expand C in the code of B etc.):
Question 1: do you know of existing IDEs with this feature?
Question2: How would you implement that? My approach is as follows: I'd like to have the IDE being able to understand various programming languages. In order to extract function definitions, I'll seemingly have to use parsers. Is there any collection of parsers for various languages? I've looked into Ctags and Pygments lexers, but their output is insufficient to accomplish this task.
Preferable language for IDE is Python (although Java and C suggestions are ok, too), graphial library - gtk+2. Thanks.

Within the Walls
When I worked as an electrician, I knew that most people had little idea how much effort went into installing a light and switch in a home. They only saw the end product – the light and switch – and didn't always "value" the time and effort it took to install those devices. They rarely saw all my work accomplished within the walls.
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall
In the summer, I tend to listen to music more often than during the rest of the year. During my formative years, I was a fan of the rock group Pink Floyd, and yes, I still enjoy their music today. One of their more famous songs, "Another Brick in the Wall," was released in 1979, the same year I started teaching, so it has special meaning to me. I made a pact with myself that I would never be just another brick in the wall, and I'd like to think that over my 32-year teaching career, I've made a difference.
Proud & Poised: SITN Transforming Training for Today and Tomorrow's Solar Workforce
There can't be a much stronger seal of approval to a program's success than to hear support for its growth straight from the president. Listening to a live feed of President Obama's comments a few weeks ago on new clean energy initiatives, it was a proud moment for the SITN to hear of his support for additional investment in building a competent solar workforce.
Thank You Mr. President: More Support for Training Programs at Community Colleges Will Ready More Workers for Solar Jobs
May 9 was a momentous day for solar energy with one giant announcement kicking off a new set of promising and proven actions. President Obama publicized more than 300 private and public sector commitments to create jobs and cut carbon pollution by advancing solar deployment and energy efficiency. Some of these headline initiatives included innovative financing for deploying solar, two billion dollars in energy efficiency investments for federal buildings, improving appliance efficiency, strengthening building codes and, drumroll please, additional investment in building a competent solar workforce.

Power-conference threats and the threats to them
We've covered the players, coaches and off-court power brokers. Now it's time to explore the Impact 25 teams for the 2006-07 season.
This isn't a traditional Top 25. Rather, these are the 20 most impactful teams (predicted champs and other threats) from the nation's top seven conferences (Big East, Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Pac-10, Big 12 and Missouri Valley) and five wild cards from outside those conferences.
Some of the teams chosen might be a surprise. Certainly, there were some worthy teams that didn't make the cut . This simply confirms that, at the dawning of a new season, there isn't a unanimous opinion.
Editor's note: Analysts Jay Bilas, Doug Gottlieb and Fran Fraschilla, senior writer Andy Katz, and editor Andy Glockner contributed to the composite selections.
Coach Roy Williams has a shot to win his second national title in three seasons with the most accomplished post finisher in the country, Tyler Hansbrough (a member of our Impact 25), a solid sophomore class that plays a variety of roles and an incoming recruiting class that could rival the season Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants and Sean May came to Chapel Hill.
The addition of three stud freshmen -- Tywon Lawson, another member of the Impact 25, and Wayne Ellington and Brandan Wright -- makes the Tar Heels as formidable a team as Florida, Kansas or any other national title contender. The Tar Heels also will be in their share of big-time games, notably against Ohio State, Kentucky, Arizona and, of course, Duke and Boston College in the ACC.
Other ACC impact teams: Duke and Boston College
Boston College made the impact list because the Eagles are expected to be an ACC contender with Jared Dudley, Sean Marshall and Sean Williams leading the way. Coach Al Skinner, one of the most undervalued coaches in the country, gets this team to play as hard as any other, if not more. The Eagles don't beat themselves very often and grind out win after win after win.
This is a critical season for the BC program, a chance to leave a serious imprint. If the Eagles can follow up an ACC tournament runner-up finish, beat Duke, take down North Carolina again, and make another Sweet 16 run, they can establish themselves as much of a mainstay in the league as any other team not named Duke or North Carolina.
|Big 12
Brandon Rush could have just thrown up his arms and said, "Forget it. I'm leaving for the NBA." Instead, Rush stuck around to make another, likely deeper run in the NCAA Tournament.
Rush's commitment -- along with the leadership of Russell Robinson and the return of every other key player, plus a top recruiting class -- makes Kansas one of the top five teams in the country. The Big 12 won't be handed to the Jayhawks, but they enter the season as the prohibitive favorite.
Like it or not, though, the Jayhawks will be judged by what happens in March. If Kansas gets to the Final Four, the season will be a rousing success. This team will have an impact on the season, whether it wins or loses. Either way, KU is a story.
Other impact Big 12 teams: Texas A&M and Texas
Texas may slide a bit in the Top 25 and in the conference, but maybe only one spot to third. The Longhorns haven't been this young under Rick Barnes, but they also may never have had as much raw talent. Kevin Durant might be the top freshman ever to play at Texas, so coach Rick Barnes has a shot to coach the national freshman of the year. If the NBA allowed high school seniors in the draft, Durant might have made the jump. But for now he is in Austin, and he'll have as much impact on a team as any player in the land.
|Big East
The Panthers' imprint will be felt throughout the season. The Panthers return one of the top big men in the country, Aaron Gray, and they have one of the top rising forwards, Sam Young; the Pitt toughness never seems to wane. Sure, the Panthers lost Carl Krauser, but this team's collective grit is defined by coach Jamie Dixon. Pitt will be all over your TV sets, with big-time games against Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and Washington, and the Panthers have the toughest schedule in the Big East.
Other Big East impact teams: Georgetown and Syracuse
Meanwhile, Syracuse -- yes, the Orange -- could have more of an impact out of the Big East than UConn, Marquette, Villanova, Louisville or DePaul. Syracuse's core returns, minus the best late-game shooter in recent Big East tournament history, Gerry McNamara. The impact of freshman Paul Harris is expected to be so important, though, that Syracuse could be Final Four-good. The Orange needed a rangy, tough guard who could lead its zone, be another offensive threat and help with the overall moxie. Put Harris with Terrence Roberts, Eric Devendorf and Demetris Nichols, and the Orange are a hot pick throughout the season.
|Big Ten
The obvious choice might seem to be Ohio State, but the Buckeyes lack the experience to be the consensus pick in the Big Ten. Instead, the Badgers are the choice as the team that will make the greatest impact.
Wisconsin returns its entire lineup, led by preseason Big Ten player of the year candidate Alando Tucker. Coach Bo Ryan has built a power in Madison by sticking to his system that cultivates team play, patience and (as always) solid, lockdown half-court defense.
The Badgers will get their chances to make an imprint on the season with games against Oklahoma State (in South Padre Island, Texas), Pitt, Marquette and Georgia, plus at least two monster games against Ohio State. It's not a reach to imagine Wisconsin knocking on the doors of the Georgia Dome with a ticket punched to the Final Four.
Other Big Ten impact team: Ohio State
Coach Thad Matta would be the first to tell you that the Buckeyes are too green to be picked to win the conference. Returnees Jamar Butler and Ron Lewis provide the necessary experience, but the "Thad Five" freshmen, led by Oden and Mike Conley Jr., need time to mature before being anointing as champs.
The Buckeyes will be front and center because of Oden, making them one of the most talked-about teams of the season, notably when they play North Carolina, Florida and any of the Big Ten contenders.
|Missouri Valley
The Bluejays are the cool pick to become the mid-major that makes the greatest impact this season, the squad that has a shot to "pull a George Mason." That doesn't necessarily mean getting to the Final Four, but no one would be shocked if the Bluejays got as close as the Elite Eight.
Nate Funk and Josh Dotzler, both of whom battled injuries last season, return to strengthen the core of what could be Dana Altman's most talented team. Creighton will be tournament-tested after going through one of the most competitive conferences in the country once again. The hunger of missing the NCAAs last season, even with the Valley getting four bids, also will drive this squad.
Other Valley impact team: Southern Illinois
The Salukis return the core of their tourney title team. They won't have Jamal Tatum for the first three games due to a suspension, but the expectation is that their leading scorer will be fine for the majority of the season. If that's the case, this group is experienced, balanced and tough enough to get through the Valley and cause a ruckus when it gets to March. Also, don't forget about the home-court advantage SIU has in Carbondale, one of the nation's toughest places to nab a road win.
The Wildcats lose Hassan Adams, but it doesn't matter. The one player the Wildcats couldn't afford to lose was Marcus Williams. He has a shot to be the Pac-10's top scorer and a first-round NBA pick, something Adams couldn't accomplish last season. Adding Chase Budinger, touted as one of the top freshmen ever to play for coach Lute Olson, makes the Wildcats dangerous at every position.
Arizona wasn't bandied about as a 2007 national title team after Florida won the crown. That's because the Wildcats took a little while to grow on everyone over the summer. Well, after a few months, Arizona has made a positive impact on our crew, and the Cats should make an impact on the rest of the country with games against Virginia, North Carolina, Memphis, Illinois and the top of the Pac-10.
Other Pac-10 impact teams: UCLA and Washington
Still, UCLA will make its presence known this season with the return to full strength of Josh Shipp, to go with Arron Afflalo, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Collison. Look for the Bruins to be a regular in the top 10-15 throughout the season and to possibly return to the Final Four.
Washington has earned respect among the national media as well as the coaching establishment. Losing do-everything star Brandon Roy could indicate a possible downward slide, but the expectation for the Huskies is that they won't drop below third in the Pac-10.
Sure, Spencer Hawes, the second-best center entering college (behind Greg Oden), is out for the first month of practice with a knee injury. But once Hawes is back, the Huskies will have an inside-out combo (with Justin Dentmon) to give them a realistic shot at being a Sweet 16-type team yet again. Having Hawes in the lineup makes Washington a team of interest -- and a team that will have an impact in the Pac-10 and nationally.
Getting this squad to return intact wasn't coach Billy Donovan's work; the three sophomores -- Noah, Horford and Corey Brewer -- who decided to stay instead of declaring for the NBA draft took this action by themselves. The selfless act works well for the Gators. They are as cohesive a team as any we've seen and have a legitimate shot to defend their national title.
Everything the Gators do will be watched this season. Every game will be a highlight. The games against Kansas and Ohio State, along with the headliners in the SEC, will be events.
Other SEC impact teams: LSU, Alabama and Tennessee
There is a strong chance they could be back in the same position. Losing Darrel Mitchell and Tyrus Thomas is no joke, but getting Tack Minor back, getting more reps for Tasmin Mitchell and Magnum Rolle, and gaining confidence that last season wasn't a fluke all mean the Tigers will be a constant story this season. Games against Texas in Houston, Texas A&M, Washington and the heavy hitters in the SEC will make LSU a constant happening.
Alabama might have the best point guard in the country in Ronald Steele, and Jermareo Davidson is one of the most difficult matchups inside. Put Richard Hendrix next to him, and the Tide have enough to make an impact. SEC coaches don't hesitate to say that Alabama could push LSU out of the top spot in the SEC West.
Alabama coach Mark Gottfried is earning a national reputation as one of the game's hidden gems. His Tide made an Elite Eight run in 2004; don't be shocked if they make a similar run this March. The Tide aren't on national TV as much as they should be, but they'll get your attention by winning enough big games.
Tennessee edged out Kentucky as our final SEC team. That is certainly debatable; we did have Kentucky coach Tubby Smith on our Impact 25 list, so it's not like we're ignoring the Wildcats.
Tennessee was the hot newcomer last season under new coach Bruce Pearl, earning a No. 2 seed before losing to Wichita State in the second round of the NCAAs, so our expecting the Vols to have an impact on this season shouldn't be a surprise. They still have Chris Lofton, and the addition of Ramar Smith and Duke Crews makes Tennessee an intriguing team to watch.
Tennessee will have plenty of chances to make a statement with games against Texas, Oklahoma State, Memphis and in the NIT Season Tip-Off, with possible games against North Carolina, Gonzaga or Indiana in New York.
|Wild cards
Memphis can't be as good as it was a year ago, since the Tigers lost Rodney Carney, Darius Washington and Shawne Williams, right? Well, they shouldn't be as talented -- or should they? Memphis coach John Calipari doesn't debate they'll miss those three, but he is convinced that the returnees -- Chris Douglas-Roberts, Antonio Anderson, Joey Dorsey, Robert Dozier, Andre Allen and Jeremy Hunt, and newcomers Doneal Mack and Willie Kemp, make this squad deeper, quicker and possibly more exciting. That's plenty to put the Tigers on our Impact 25 list and make them the class of C-USA.
Gonzaga can't and won't be the same team without Adam Morrison and J.P. Batista, but the Bulldogs will have an impact on the season because of their national appeal and the stage they play on. They have games against Duke, Virginia, Nevada, Washington, Georgia and Memphis, along with Preseason NIT possibilities against North Carolina, Indiana and Tennessee. Oh, they still have a pretty talented crew with Derek Raivio, David Pendergraft, Sean Mallon, Josh Josh Heytvelt, Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes and Jeremy Pargo, as well as newcomers (to the Zags) Micah Downs (in mid-December) and Matt Bouldin.
Nevada made the impact list largely on the return of Nick Fazekas -- and head coach Mark Fox. Nebraska was interested in Fox, but he decided to stay in Reno and make another run with the Wolf Pack. Nevada still is smarting over a first-round loss to Montana after earning a No. 5 seed in March, so this group is motivated to make much more of a postseason imprint. It won't be enough just to fight off New Mexico State, Utah State, Fresno State and Hawaii in the WAC.
San Diego State now is a fixture as an impact team in the Mountain West. Coach Steve Fisher just signed on for five more seasons. Brandon Heath withdrew from the NBA draft and Mohamed Abukar is back to wreak havoc inside. The Aztecs have all the makings of a team that could be the team of record in the MWC. They nearly took out Indiana in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in March, and there's no reason (despite Air Force's quality) why they can't be in position to make another run at a bid and get past the first round this season.
Hofstra is the flavor of the day in the Colonial, over George Mason and Drexel. The Pride have plenty of, well, pride, so they're determined to be in position to get an NCAA bid after what they thought was a snub last season. The forwards are green, but the backcourt is rich with experience, led by Loren Stokes and Antoine Agudio. Hofstra needs to make an impact at the Great Alaska Shootout, where it could topple Cal and Hawaii. A game at Syracuse and a Madison Square Garden date with St. Joseph's and possibly St. John's in the Holiday Festival give the Pride additional big-stage moments.

Robot & Frank (2012)
Robot: Warning. Do not molest me.
Robot: Frank, that cereal is for children. Enjoy this grapefruit.
Frank: *You're* for children, stupid.
Frank: I knew you had an off switch.
Frank: Every security system is designed by security companies, not thiefs. It's not the question of if a thief can break in, it's how long. They place all the heavy systems where their customers can see them. They're selling the feel of security.
Frank: The human brain, a lovely piece of hardware.
Frank: Can't you just erase the bad parts?
Robot: My memory is a holographic array. If I lost half of it I'd still have every memory, just in half the resolution.
Frank: I hate hikes. God damned bugs! You've seen one tree - you've seen all.
Frank: I would rather die eating cheeseburgers than live off of steamed cauliflower.
Frank: Fuck this shit.
Robot: After you wipe my memory things can go back to normal and you can continue planning your next job.
Frank: What did you say?
Robot: Remember Frank, your next job. You deal in diamonds and jewels, the most value by the ounce. It's not too late, Frank. Don't give up. Lifting that high-end stuff, no one gets hurt. Except those insurance company crooks.

The shipping carrier adds 400 flights this week.
Thursday will be the busiest day of the year for UPS, when the shipping carrier will deliver nearly 26 million packages, or almost 300 every second, the delivery service says. Every other day this week until Saturday, UPS expects to ship 25 million packages. This is up 6% compared with the 113 million packages UPS shipping during its peak holiday delivery week last year, says a company spokeswoman.
To prepare for the last-minute rush, UPS Airlines has scheduled more than 400 additional flights per day this week and expects to process 3 million express shipments in a 24-hour period through its Louisville, Ky., facility, the carrier says.
Last-minute shoppers can ship items as late as Friday, Dec. 23, using UPS Next Day Air and have gifts arrive on Christmas Eve, UPS says.
UPS has also launched My Choices, a free service that alerts users with an e-mail or text message the day before a package is scheduled to be delivered. For a $5 fee, registered members can reschedule or reroute the delivery to a different address or their local UPS store.
Today is also UPS's heaviest tracking day all year, as the carrier expects around 58 million tracking requests on UPS.com, says Nick Costides, vice president of customer technology. That's up around 21% compared with the 48.1 million requests UPS answered on its heaviest tracking day last year, which was Dec. 22.
At UPS's two data centers in Georgia and New Jersey, the company plans for months for these type of traffic spikes on UPS.com, Costides says. To ensure that UPS.com runs smoothly today and throughout the week, command center teams will monitor system data and turn on and off server capacity as needed.
"Today should be an interesting day for us," Costides says. "Last year, we had 29.7 million page views on UPS.com on our busiest tracking day. This year should be higher because as Internet shopping grows, that is reflected in our business."

Do you make New Year's Resolutions?
It's 2015 and many have put pen to paper (or fingertips to keyboard) in order to make improvements this year. Often times resolutions are very effective in kick-starting a new diet, exercise routine, or overall attitude change. Many times resolutions are difficult to maintain and are abandoned by the end of January (or sooner).
Because I love new beginnings, New Year's Resolutions are very "calming" for me since they remind me of the ability to change your situation …..no matter what, no matter when. This year, to avoid falling into the "perfection trap", I am going to make one main resolution instead of several detailed ones (that I wouldn't keep anyway). I am resolving to make, remake, or amend my more specific resolutions on a daily basis. I resolve to do this early each day, write down fresh (or refreshed) strategies to make progress, and review them during my day as I proceed. I think this will be a good way to give myself new motivation each day rather than simply focusing on whether or not I am doing everything "right." Also, I love reserving the right to change my mind!
Do you make New Year's Resolutions? What method works well for you?
Happy New Year Moms! Have a perfectly imperfect 2015:) Take good care of you!
So long Halloween, Hello more Holidays……
I love Halloween-it's short and "sweet" and doesn't involve a ton of shopping. If I have learned anything in motherhood, though, it's to go with the flow – that despite my best plans, I can't control things. Despite finally finding my 9 year old daughter's favorite costume this year (1950′s car hop:) and hoping to be so organized as to make 20+ of the little "pumpkin" fruit cups for her class that I saw on Pinterest…we spent Halloween a different way. My sweet daughter was feeling really bad so no school for her and no class party -instead a trip to the pediatrician. She perked up but by trick or treating time, she was exhausted and asleep on the couch. She woke up and said she wanted to try to get her costume on …..but she just didn't feel like it. Poor baby. One of her sweet friends brought her a lot of her own trick or treating candy which made her happy the next day. It wasn't the Halloween we expected but we were all home together and my daughter is on the mend.
I remembered the early baby days when I would get everything just set to walk out the door and ….you know what happens, spit up, wet diaper, or complete blow out. It would almost bring me to tears but after many times of realizing my best plans can't "make" things go my way (especially when it comes to motherhood) it's becomes even more clear that it's just a continual process of letting go. I find it ironic that we spend so much of our early years and also teach our kids to "do your best" and "try harder" to impact an outcome in school, sports, etc. yet our adult years are often spent "trying harder" to let go and relax and not take the outcomes personally–despite our best efforts. I may have said it before but I found school and work to be infinitely easier than being a mommy although I wouldn't trade motherhood for the world.
Well, I need to get started on planning Thanksgiving and Christmas……I'm sure everything will go just as planned (yea, right) Actually things will be better than perfect, everything will be Perfectly Imperfect which is just fine with me.
When You Thought I Wasn't Looking by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan
….this is one of my favorites, enjoy & share:)
When You Thought I Wasn't Looking
When you thought I wasn't looking
You hung my first painting on the refrigerator
And I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You fed a stray cat
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You baked a birthday cake just for me
And I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You said a prayer
And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You kissed me good-night
And I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking
I saw tears come from your eyes
And I learned that sometimes things hurt—
But that it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You smiled
And it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn't looking
You cared
And I wanted to be everything I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking—
I looked . . .
And wanted to say thanks
For all those things you did
When you thought I wasn't looking.

Another Way to Show Your Kids You Love Them by Julie Cornell, JD
There are a million things you do every single day to show your children you love them. You feed them, you make sure they have a coat on if it's cold outside, you read them stories, and tuck them in at night. You do all these things and much more, day in and day out, to make sure your children are safe and secure. You do these things because you love your children more than you could ever express. Another way you can show your kids you love them is by creating an estate plan. Unfortunately, this is one thing that many parents leave undone because it's a difficult subject to ponder. Who would take care of your kids and love them as much as you do if you weren't here to do so? What can you do to make sure they are well provided for if the unexpected happens? Even if these questions are hard, they are worth pondering because creating an estate plan is one of the greatest gifts that you can give your children. By doing so, you are ensuring that they will be well loved and cared for no matter what. You are providing the best opportunity for them to thrive by making sure there will be no gaps in their care or uncertainty about your wishes for them. By creating a plan, you can eliminate unnecessary conflict in your family. If you don't make the decision yourself, the choice of who will be the guardian of your kids and who will make financial decisions for them will be left up to a judge. The judge will try his/her best to make good decisions for your family, but the judge doesn't know you or what you would have wanted. The judge will be overworked and has to make decisions based on the amount of information presented, which will not be all that much if you haven't provided any indication of what you want in writing. You will become an even better parent by engaging in the process of making decisions for your kids care if something happens to you and getting clear on the values and beliefs you want to pass on to them. The best part is, even though you are planning for an event that will most likely occur a long-time in the future, it makes you a better parent immediately. When you clarify the way you want your children raised and the beliefs you want them to carry into the world, you naturally begin to be more conscious about your relationship with your children now. If you're interested in getting started, please contact me today. I'm happy to answer any questions you have and will make the process far easier than you expect.

No Time Like the Present
The following is a contribution from one of my local mommy friends …..
Recently, I was sitting in a local Starbucks. A young college student came in and my heart went out to her. As I sat with my latte and computer, I heard her begin to describe her stress to the clerk specifically the huge academic load that she carries. Her backpack is filled to the brim, weighing her down – leaving her physically and seemingly emotionally drained. As she leaves with her drink to bring a sense of comfort (and/or a jolt of caffeine for studying) , it begs the question of 21st Century motherhood. Should this young girl decide to have a family one day, I wonder what the path will look like for her . Will the stress from deadlines, expectations, and social demands simply transition from one stage of life to another? The endless demand for perfection and performance complete with comparison and criticism don't evaporate after college or one's first job. While relationships, marriage, and children don't come with required readings, term papers, or official grades, we definitely want to succeed in our family life as much or more as we did in our studies and at our jobs. Yet, with commitment to "doing your best", it's often difficult to know when to try harder and when you're already doing a darn good job. Perfectionism can be paralyzing-especially at home. What works in school and at work often backfires in our very homes. Being really uptight about deadlines and grades works great in college-being uptight because your spouse forgot something or your child made a B in science may not go over as well and may well harm the relationships in the process. Where does it end?
Perhaps the endless cycle ends now. Perhaps the time is now to put an end to the unrealistic demands we have of ourselves, our children, and others. I know sometimes I ignore the 20 things I DID accomplish on my list and focus only on the thing I forgot to do. "How could I have forgotten that-argh!" is something I have said to myself more times than I care to admit – yet I tell my daughter that no one is perfect. Moms aren't perfect and we put SO much pressure on ourselves to "get it right" whether it be remembering to sign up for a child's sport on time or volunteering at school or trying to look happy and relaxed after a long day at work while helping your child with homework (and likely doing laundry or dinner simultaneously). Don't even get me started on Mommy Guilt.
Perhaps now is the time to finally embrace the fact that while we can do many things, we can't do everything-at least not at the same time. Perhaps now is a good time to encourage one another to utilize the gifts we have rather than criticize another's faults. Perhaps now is the time to revel in the moment of doing good work in whatever situation we find ourselves. Let's put the Comparison Game on the playroom shelf for good. Perhaps now is the moment to breath a little easier because of the acceptance we find in ourselves. It makes it much easier to then apply that same acceptance to others. Yes, indeed. There is no time like the present.
My favorite author, Brene Brown, PhD., has some wonderful advice on this topic. Check out The Gifts of Imperfection as well as The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting.
Have a perfectly imperfect day moms!
