Each of these people bill at different rates, so you get maximum bang for your buck. When you hire anyone at Quinji, you hire the team resources. You will not suffer if someone is not available.

It plans to sell 10 million shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol "SCTY" with the hope of raising $151 million. Company owners plan to sell 65,000 shares in the offering. SolarCity will have 71.7 million shares outstanding and a market value of $1 billion at the pricing range's midpoint.
The offering is expected in a few weeks after the company postponed it because of Hurricane Sandy. Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Needham & Co. and Roth Capital Partners are underwriting the offering. SolarCity expects to use the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies or other assets.
Brothers Lyndon and Peter Rive founded the company in 2006 with cousin Elon Musk, a co-founder of PayPal Inc. who now heads up Tesla Motors Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and serves as SolarCity's chairman.
SolarCity investors include Draper Fisher Jurvetson, DBL Investors, Mayfield Fund, Shea Ventures, Nicholas Pritzker of Tao Ventures, Generation Capital Inc., Valor Equity Partners and SilverLake Kraftwerk LP.
Although competitors First Solar Inc. and Suntech Power Holdings Co. have been hurt by a flood of cheap solar components in the market, SolarCity claims that lower solar panel prices are good for its business. SolarCity might not be coming to the markets at the most opportune time for companies in the alternative energy sector. Power plant developer BrightSource Energy Inc. pulled its $180 million IPO in April citing market conditions, and competitor SunPower Corp.'s stock is trading at the low end of its 52-week range.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC's Steven Bernard and Alexander Phillips are advising SolarCity, whose general counsel is Seth Weissman. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP's Thomas Ivey is assisting the underwriters.

Santa Fe Crossroads Wins Local Texaco Country Showdown Competition
From an Outlaw Country 107.5 news release
The first round of this year's Texaco Country Showdown was a close race as usual, with first place going to the local group Santa Fe Crossroads. The band will move on to represent Santa Fe at the New Mexico state showdown, September 22 at Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque.
Ten contestants participated in the local competition, which took place at Camel Rock Casino on Aug. 18. The judges panel awarded second place to duo JAlee from Albuquerque; and third place to Robert Martinez of Stanley, NM. In addition to his third place accolade, Martinez told host Uncle Jesse of KQBA-FM that he had recently auditioned for NBC's "The Voice" but was still waiting to hear if he made the cut.
The judges for this year's competition were Rand E. Cook, professional musician and owner of Candyman Strings and Things; Stephanie Hatfield, Frogville recording artist and professional voice instructor; Jono Manson, one of Santa Fe's most esteemed performers, as well as a Grammy-winning producer; and Steve Terrell, a high-profile music columnist, blogger, and radio host.
"The judging process was agonizing, but in the end I think it was Santa Fe Crossroads' original song which got them the top score," said Hatfield. "It was a close race."
Radio station 107.5 Outlaw Country hosted the local competition and program director Chris Diestler said the contestant roster carried more singers than in past years. "Maybe it was because Albuquerque didn't host a local showdown this year, but we had entries from all over the state."

Oil prices and the euro
The US dollar has been falling steadily in recent weeks. It is particularly weak against the euro, having fallen almost 5% since January.

What price oil?
Crude oil prices are climbing again. $100/bbl is not impossible, if current geo-political concerns continue. And today's tightly balanced market could persist to 2010.

Plenty of software is designed to improve PC performance, but what if that speed boost leaves you hungry for more? A speed boost can be gained with the installation of a solid-state drive (SSD).
Step 3. If you opt for a clean installation of Windows on the SSD, you'll need to copy across your backed-up data after this process is complete. This approach makes sense if you're thinking about upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, for example. You may also need to update some of your hardware drivers (see tinyurl.com/2wskbr8).
Step 4. If you're happy with your current OS, a drive-cloning tool will make an exact copy of your old hard drive. Follow the software's instructions to save this copy either to your SSD mounted in a drive enclosure or to an external hard drive from which you can restore the contents later. See tinyurl.com/2vobae4 for further advice.
Step 5. Now you're ready to get your hands dirty. Ground yourself, then disconnect the laptop from its charger and remove the battery. Most hard drives are stored under a removable panel, accessible once you've removed a few retaining screws. Once you've located it, carefully slide out the drive.
Step 6. Slot in the SSD, ensuring that the SATA edge connector is firmly seated in place. Our Acer laptop used a pair of rails to align the drive inside the laptop shell. Carefully reattach the data and power connectors. Replace the panel and secure all screws. You can now reinsert the battery and turn on the laptop.

Sew an Easy-to-Sew Reversible Bag
Novita from VeryPurplePerson and Tokyo made this free pattern for an easy-to-sew reversible bag for BurdaStyle. Here is in a version with black and white linen hounds-tooth on one side, and a graphic mustard and brown cotton print on the other side; we love the mixture of menswear and modern floral prints! This bag is roomy enough for a quick run to the farmer's market to pick up vegetables for soup, or even an afternoon's worth of shopping errands.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
The 'check-in' process was a little hectic, but it was Christmas Eve at the Vatican, so what can you expect. Also, and this is no fault of the tour company, but we BARELY made it into St Peter's from the Sistine Chapel before the Pope changed his mind and decided to close things early. Some people didn't make it. But I guess that's one of the perks of being the Pope.
Our guide, Shannon, was amazing. We learned so many interesting things, especailly about the Sistine Chapel. I highly recommend her, personally. Well worth the money!

Open-Cockpit Chills
Bitter temperatures and a race against time
The engine seemed to be running okay, albeit at one point, the oil temp climbed to 208 degrees F. This is within safe limits, especially for a newly overhauled engine, but it's a temp I had not seen before, and it was accompanied by a drop in oil pressure. I pressed on.
By the time I got to the "Grapevine" south of Bakersfield, my fuel gauge seemed to not be reading as high as it should. This caused a little pucker because I had to climb to 5,500 feet to clear the last mountain hurdle, using more fuel and more time—neither of which I wanted to spare. But once over these mountains, it would be downhill to Whiteman Airport, only about 45 more nm in the San Fernando Valley. Sunset was at 4:53 p.m., and I entered the traffic pattern at Whiteman at 4:59 p.m. for a 5 p.m. landing in the twilight.
After 7.2 hours of flying, with the total trip of eight hours, I was one happy pilot to be on the ground. My only remaining problem was getting out of the airplane unassisted, arms and legs numb from the cold. At cocktail hour, my friends teased me about why a 74-year-old guy would do such a flight. I could only reply that it was a wonderful experience.
Jim Furlong is a commercial pilot with 6,700 hours of flying time, including air shows with the Condor Squadron in an SNJ-4 and racing a T-6 at the National Air Races in Mojave, Calif.

Lawyer: Children benefit from gay marriage ban
SAN FRANCISCO A lawyer for supporters of California's gay marriage ban argued Wednesday in a landmark federal trial that Proposition 8 was constitutional because limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples ensures children have the benefits of being raised by biological parents.
Attorney Charles Cooper delivered his closing argument as the case challenging the voter-approved measure resumed after a months-long break.
Cooper said societies around the world have always seen marriage as a way to keep children from being born out of wedlock.
"The historical record leaves no doubt, your honor, none whatsoever, that the central purpose of marriage in all societies at virtually all times is to channel procreative relationships into stable relationships to ensure that offspring that result from those relationships are raised in those stable relationships," Cooper said.
Even as he tried to elaborate, Cooper's statement drew a series of challenges from Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker, who is presiding over the lawsuit filed by two same-sex couples who claim the ban is a violation of their civil rights.
Walker asked if people get married to benefit their communities or themselves. Weren't similar arguments once used to keep interracial couples from marrying? And if procreation is so central to marriage, why doesn't the state refuse to sanction marriage by infertile couples or couples who choose to remain childless?
"It is Orwellian, but isn't that the logic that flows from the premise that marriage is about procreation?" Walker asked.
With respect to laws that banned interracial marriage, Cooper said, "those racist sentiments and policies had no foundation in the historical purpose of marriage, and in fact they were at war with it."
Earlier in the day, former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who represents the plaintiffs, argued that supporters of the ban were trying to deprive same-sex couples of a relationship the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as a fundamental right.
Olson said the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized marriage as a fundamental right - one afforded to prisoners serving life sentences and child support scofflaws - while refusing to make procreation a precondition of marriage, as evidenced by laws allowing divorces and contraception.
"It is the right of individuals, not an indulgence to be dispensed by the state," Olson said. "The right to marry, to choose to marry, has never been tied to procreation."
Judge Walker pressed Olson on that point, noting Proposition 8 supporters have gone to some lengths to argue that gays and lesbians only can have children with help from a third party, unlike opposite-sex couples.
"That is a difference," Walker said. "And why is that difference not one the Legislature or voters could rationally take into account in setting the marriage laws in California?"
Olson answered that sponsors of the 2008 ballot measure could not cite tradition or speculation that allowing gays to wed would harm the institution of marriage as valid reasons to discriminate.
"'We have always done it that way' is a corollary to 'because I say so.' It's not a reason," Olson told the judge.

With exactly one week remaining until the curtain is drawn on "UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller," a couple of last-minute scratches have changed the card's preliminary roster.
The light heavyweight bout between former MFC champion Ryan Jimmo and Karlos Vemola has been nixed from the January 20th lineup. According to the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion, an undisclosed injury forced Jimmo to pull out of the fight.
Instead of trying to locate a replacement, Octagon officials have decided to scrap the 205-pound affair altogether.
In addition, Reza Madadi withdrew from his lightweight contest against Fabricio Camoes for an unknown reason. The UFC will be looking to find a substitute to face Camoes.
The event takes place inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. FX will air the main card live starting at 9PM ET/6PM PT.
Lightweights Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller headline the festivities.
Here is the show's revised roster:
Preliminary Bouts:
Fabricio Camoes vs. TBD
Joseph Sandoval vs. Nick Denis
Daniel Pineda vs. Pat Schilling
Charlie Brenneman vs. Daniel Roberts
Kamal Shalorus vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
Jorge Rivera vs. Eric Schafer
Main Bouts:
Pat Barry vs. Christian Morecraft
Mike Easton vs. Jared Papazian
Josh Neer vs. Duane Ludwig
Jim Miller vs. Melvin Guillard (Three-Round Fight)

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

The Holocaust resonates through this comfortless world like Hans Peter Kuhn's elegantly savage score. We cringe when people are hoisted by folds of skin, shudder as they are measured in senselessly odd fashions. Even the formally beautiful piles into which they stack themselves have a sinister undertone. Yet two women who paste prices on each other are not just auctioning off body parts; they're estimating plastic surgery costs. Witty as well as disturbing are the stories people tell; at every mention of an anatomical element, they confidently indicate the wrong one. (Tall Grayson Millwood makes this alienation curiously touching.) A woman describes opening her eyes and flips her naked breasts; a man mentioning his throat may run a hand down his calf ("translators" standing casually by pantomime the correct part). Further dissections involve a team manipulating white bowls to form someone's clattering spine, and two dancers becoming a single person whose legs are on backward.
There's a section of absurdist chaos that evokes low-end Pina Bausch: a woman ice-skating, a man skiing down the wall, another using a fishing rod as a gun, another putting on myriad underpants, and so on. The many stunning images in the piece explain Waltz's acclaim in Germany, yet within its elaborate setting, Körper seems hollow, as if these people's individualities had been excised before we ever met them.
Discipline Is Freedom, the piece that so often opens programs by Garth Fagan, might stand as title for Fagan's entire oeuvre (much of which is on display at the Joyce through Sunday). Within his often architectural structures, virtuosity functions not only as flying buttresses, but as perfectly controlled embellishments that stun you with a particular dancer's skill yet don't rock the compositional boat. Norwood Pennewell launches himself into a startling, bent-legged jump with little hint of preparation. Natalie Rogers lifts a leg skyward as serenely as if she were pointing a finger.
In his new Translation Transition, Fagan hews to the Jamaica Jazz All Stars' renditions of pieces by Clement Dodds, Wayne Shorter, and Harry Johnson. Jazz meets ska, reggae, and mento in music that's mellow even in its abrasive moments. Fagan is rightfully loving of his superb dancers. He sends Rogers, Pennewell, and the equally marvelous Sharon Skepple along a diagonal line in a kind of three-way antiphonal conversation, but separates them from this orderly jigsaw puzzle so we can know their individual brands of his precise yet supple movement: Rogers slow and teasing, Pennewell nonchalant with bursts of speed, Skepple with her flyaway limbs.
Steve Humphrey, who's been a power in the company since its inception 32 years ago, partners sleekly beautiful newcomer Keisha Clarke in the new work's fine second section. At the end of it, infected perhaps by this canny merger, a very cool chorus line of six that's been intermittently traveling across the stage with a crouched-over, resilient side-step bursts from conformity into counterpoint. And in the last section, all 14 dancers gloriously affirm that discipline, that freedom.

SDSU's Shelton smiles through the pain
Tim Shelton had five ice bags strapped to his body at a recent San Diego State basketball practice. He was asked if that's his personal record.
He shook his head. Six is, set a couple days later.
One bag on his right wrist, one on his left shoulder, one on his right knee, two on his left knee, one on his right foot.
"I walk into his room," said SDSU guard D.J. Gay, Shelton's roommate, "and I see him icing himself, all the time, constantly. He even has his own icing machine."
"That," Shelton said, "probably would be the title of my autobiography: 'Bags of ice.'"
That Shelton can make light of the situation, that he can turn joint pain into jokes, is probably what allows him to keep wearing an Aztecs uniform long after mere mortals would have succumbed to a body that continuously, and callously, betrays him.
"Until you have walked in his shoes," Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said, "it's hard to imagine what it's like. But he's dealt with it with a smile on his face, never complaining. It is what it is. It's his lot in life."
The 6-foot-7 junior forward is up to four surgeries on his left knee alone, including two microfracture procedures that are conducted in only the most severe cases. A month ago, a teammate fouled him hard in practice and badly tweaked his left shoulder. In a November tournament in Ohio, he broke his fall with his right wrist while taking a charge and his shot hasn't been the same since.
Now it's his right foot. He did something to it – stepped on an opponent's shoe, maybe landed on it funny, maybe twisted it, he's not sure – against Texas Christian on Feb. 5. X-rays and an MRI were negative, leading doctors to call it a bad bone bruise, but he hasn't played since.
Will he play tonight at Viejas Arena for the No. 6 Aztecs (25-1, 10-1) against New Mexico (17-8, 5-5)?
Shelton shrugs. Even he has no idea.
He practiced some Tuesday, alternating between riding a courtside exercycle and participating in live drills on the floor and doing rehabilitation exercises for his foot and standing on the baseline encouraging teammates and retreating to the training room for more ice.
But that's how most practices go for Shelton. He is the only college player in Fisher's 21 seasons as a head coach who gets to decide when he practices, how hard, and how long. It is a level of trust that developed last season, when Shelton's post-operative knees would swell and stiffen for seemingly no reason at all.
Fisher: "I don't say, 'What's wrong, why can't you practice?' I just say, 'Let me know what you can do."
Shelton: "He says, 'Tell me how you feel. If you can go, you go. If you can't, you can't. If you're on the sideline, just make sure you're talking to the younger guys. Make sure you're practicing mentally.' I still feel like I'm able to be productive without as many reps in practice."

The Mental Health and Addiction Services Division (MHASD) endorses a recovery philosophy and believes that treatment should be community based as much as possible to incorporate the adult's existing support systems. The MHASD system of care for adults encompasses a variety of programs including outpatient treatment, intensive services such as assertive community treatment, crisis respite, and inpatient treatment.
We serve Oregon Health Plan members enrolled in Health Share of Oregon/Multnomah Mental Health as well as individuals who need treatment but do not have health insurance.
If you want help finding the right treatment and Multnomah Mental Health is your mental health insurance plan, call Member Services at 503.988.5887. If you don't have insurance and need help finding treatment, call the Mental Health Call Center at 503.988.4888. Both of these numbers are 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Visit the Cover Oregon web site to find out what insurance options are available to you.
Outpatient Treatment
MHASD contracts with providers to serve consumers in the community as much as possible, amid their own support system rather than in a clinical environment.
Emergency Holds
When a county resident becomes dangerous to him- or herself or others, he or she may be placed on an "emergency hold" -i.e. be involuntarily hospitalized- while stabilizing. If the person cannot pay for the hospitalization, state law requires the county to cover the costs.
Involuntary Commitment Investigation
Every time a county resident is placed on an emergency hold, county staff investigate to ensure that the hold was appropriate. If they determine that it was, a hearing is held, and a court examiner makes an independent recommendation to a judge.
Commitment Monitors
County staff continually assess county residents who have been placed on emergency hold to make sure that they are not involuntary committed longer than necessary. They also work with hospital staff to develop treatment and discharge plans for committed individuals, monitor individuals' trial visits to the community, and help individual access financial and medical entitlements.
Transitional Housing
Transitional housing is for adults with a mental illness who have recently been discharged from an institution but still need intensive treatment. In transitional housing, staff provide mental health services and help residents find more permanent housing.
Residential Services
Residential services staff screen and place adults with a mental illness in facilities or housing where they can continue receiving treatment from licensed caregivers. Staff monitor these facilities, provide training and technical assistance to caregivers, and help develop new facilities.

A special investigation team (SIT) headed by an assistant commissioner of police rank officer on Saturday arrested a local corporator for allegedly threatening the family of a 13-year-old rape survivor. The arrested corporator, Changej Multani, had intervened between the girl and the alleged rapist's family last year, trying to settle the matter by convincing the accused to marry the girl. Multani is a corporator from Andheri (W).
A 13-year old girl was allegedly raped by her neighbour two years ago. The accused knew the minor as he owned a shop in the locality where she lived. The girl was raped after the accused gave her a drink, which left her unconscious. However, when the girl was eight months pregnant, her family came to know about the rape and approached the Amboli police station to register an FIR. However, the police recorded his statement on a blank piece of paper and Multani started to intervene. It was only when the child welfare committee sent a legal notice to the police, a case was registered in January this year under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act.
When the minor gave birth, the accused fled and settled abroad. After the police failed to take cognizance of the complaint lodged by the minor's family, they approached the HC.
Deputy commisisoner of police, Zone IX, Satyanarayan Chaudhary, confirmed the arrest, saying, "Multani has been arrested following the high court's order, and further investigations are on."

Keselowski may have to watch back
BROOKLYN, Mich.
Brad Keselowski still hasn't made amends with Kyle Busch.
Last Sunday, Keselowski slid into Busch on an oil-slicked track at Watkins Glen and knocked him out of the lead on the final lap. Keselowski said that, because of the conditions of the track, "There was nothing I could do."
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
After the race, however, Keselowski tracked down Busch's crew chief Dave Rogers. He attempted to contact Busch, but acknowledged: "Every number I had for him was bad or something."
Looking back, Keselowski called the situation "unfortunate."
"Dumping the leader on the last lap is not something that I want to be known for," Keselowski said Friday after qualifying 19th for Sunday's Michigan 400.
"It's obviously something that happened, and everybody has a different perspective as to whether it was right, wrong or somewhere in between. I'm probably right in the middle of that, how I feel about it.
"I feel like we're all going for the same spot. I obviously push real hard. He wasn't going to give it up. I'd like to talk to him first to truly understand his perspective."
Marcos Ambrose bested Keselowski for the win at Watkins Glen. Keselowski finished second — the same position as in the Nationwide Series race one day earlier, when he elected to back off his longtime nemesis Carl Edwards.
Fast paceBrad Keselowski combines talent and personality into a potent NASCAR mix. Check out his top 10 NASCAR accomplishments.
Keselowski later acknowledged that he gave that win away. Why?
"I'm banking on nice-guy points on that one," Keselowski said.
With the Chase just four races away, now is the time to atone for past sins. Keselowski has kept his nose clean this season. His three wins — and string of six consecutive top 10 finishes since the race at Kentucky Speedway on June 30 — have elevated Keselowski to fifth in the point standings.
And with Bristol Motor Speedway on the schedule for next weekend — a track that's custom-made for getting both mad and even — Keselowski will either have to apologize to Busch beforehand or keep an eye on his rear-view mirror.
The latter would be a shame considering that Keselowski has won the last two races at BMS and led 232 of 500 laps on the half-mile track in March.
Busch declined to comment after the incident at the Glen. He chose the same option after qualifying 23rd at Michigan International Speedway on Friday.
Perhaps Keselowski will have better luck with Busch — but then again, maybe not.
Head of steamWhat has Kyle Busch done in his NASCAR career so far?
"It certainly wasn't something that I wanted to see happen," Keselowski said. "It wasn't something that I intended for to happen, but it obviously happened, and I can't make that go away and can only hope that he understands as a racer that things like that happen, and it's just sometimes part of the breaks."
In racing, there are all different levels of pressure.
And the weight of the stress increases commensurate to the expectations of the driver.
For some teams, there's pressure just to make the race. For other teams, anything short of winning is a disappointment.
For five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who moved to the top of the standings last Sunday for the first time this season, there also are varying degrees of pressure as the points leader.
"It's not the same pressure as the Chase," Johnson said. "But a points leader is a points leader. And when you look at all the events we've had and what's going on, there is a lot of prestige involved with it. It means you're running well. Leading the points is leading the points, in my opinion.
"So, we're again glad to be there. Hopefully, we can stay on top and ideally pull away and continue to gain more points than anyone else and be in that rhythm and mindset entering the Chase."
DAMAGE CONTROLWatkins Glen proved to be a rough ride for some. See the best shots.
Johnson's time on top could be short-lived, however. He holds just a one-point advantage over second-place Greg Biffle and a two-point lead over third-place Matt Kenseth. Johnson has never won at Michigan — one of just four tracks on the current Sprint Cup schedule where the champ has yet to be victorious. The last time Johnson led the points after Michigan was 2006. He'll start third on Sunday.
4 — Sprint Cup poles for Mark Martin in 15 attempts in 2012. With 55 career Cup poles overall, he's tied for seventh all-time with Bill Elliott.
4 — Fords qualified in the top 10 for the Pure Michigan 400.
145 — Point advantage for any driver over 11th place in the standings after Sunday's race that will lock into the Chase
Team owner Tony Stewart insists that Ryan Newman's deal for 2013 is not complete:
"There is nothing different. There is nothing new than what I have told you in the past, and as soon as we have something different than what is going on, we will be the first to tell you guys."

On Sept. 24, 2013, Judge Jesse Furman in the Southern District of New York released his widely anticipated decision allowing the U.S. Department of Justice's False Claims Act and Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act case against a major financial institution to proceed. The opinion is significant, not just because it is a victory for the government — the same week the DOJ began trial in another major case — but because, for the first time, it deals with multiple developing issues in one opinion.
The DOJ's suit alleges that Wells Fargo Bank — the largest participant in the government insurance program at issue — submitted for insurance risky loans that did not comply with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") Federal Housing Administration's ("FHA") origination and quality control requirements, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses to the FHA fund.

I feel like I spend a lot of time apologizing to you guys recently for missing another week, but life got in the way again – I swear this is the year of weddings and Bachelor parties. Now before Andrew and Nick think I am bragging again, don't worry, I just went to Delray Beach. But the last two weekends have been a blast for me – my brother's wedding and a great friends bachelor party.
But it has been a wild two weeks in Gator Country, eh? The Orange and Blue Debut…happened…I guess is the best way to put it. J.C. Jackson was arrested. The Gators won a THIRD STRAIGHT National Championship in gymnastics. The Gators baseball team is tied for first place in the SEC East. Florida softball is back where it belongs as the number one team in the country. And Tim Tebow is BACK IN THE NFL!
For Tebow, NFL means "Not For Long"
Listen, I love Tim Tebow. He is a great mentor, role model, and athlete. But, and you knew there was a "but", he won't make it past this latest entrance into the NFL. Why? For everything you have seen in the last 24 hours since he was re-signed. He usurped NBA and NHL playoff coverage – yes, a player that hasn't played in two years and has a career completion percentage of 47.9 with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. And how will he make the team? Through practice – never a Tebow strength.
I want Tim to be successful, I truly do, and maybe this is his best opportunity, but until he is treated like a player that is at best an NFL back-up, he will never be appreciated for the guy that he is and can be in the NFL. Is Tebow better than most 3rd string quarterbacks in the NFL? Absolutely. But why isn't he on the team? Because fans clamor for him incessantly.
Now Tebow may be better after working with quarterback guru Tom House for the past 18 months, and I hope he is, and I hope I am wrong.
But for the same reason he didn't work in New York and New England will likely be the reason he won't in Philadelphia – the fans and media won't let him be.
Rhonda Faehn = Unbelieveable
In all of the NCAA, there is no program that is more on fire right now than the Gators gymnastics program, except for the UConn women's basketball team. Three straight National Championships – with this one coming pretty unexpectedly.
Faehn has been able to recruit and create some of the most exciting teams in Gator history in any sport and deserves to be applauded more than she is. Good for them. Good for the Gators. And hell, they could very likely win again next year.
Look Out for Eric Paschall
If the Gators are looking to continue to become better by transfer, look for them to land Fordham transfer a 6-foot-6 wing forward that is down to UF, Providence, or returning to Fordham. Should UF want him, I think they will get him, but UF is already one scholarship over the limit, so the decision is all up to them.
I don't usually like transfers, but Paschall is a great forward that can shoot the three, is quick, and plays sound defense.
If Paschall comes aboard, look out, he could thrive under Donovan.
Did You Know…?
…That the Gators have more players in the NBA Playoffs than Kentucky, Duke, and every other college? With 10 players in the NBA Playoffs, only one former Gator (Udonis Haslem) did not make the Playoffs.
Incredible work by Billy Donovan!
What is great is that many of the 10 (Horford, Noah, Beal, Lee, and Parsons) are top-3 players on their respective teams, while the other five (Miller, Bonner, Calathes, Brewer, and Speights) all play valuable roles on their teams.
Good luck to each player.

Dubrovnik Ancient City Walls Historical Walking Tour
- Details
- Reviews
- Choice of several departures throughout the day
- Explore the local streets on a walking tour of the city
- Fully narrated tour
- Informative, friendly and professional guide
In the 11th century, the sea channel separating the city from mainland was covered up with earth, so a single wall was built to enclose the present-day Old Town. The city walls have been restored several times in history to resemble their original appearance. With your guide, see Fort Revelin and Minceta Tower within the city walls (entrance fees not included), and learn the strategic position of these forts and their role in Dubrovnik's history. You will also see Fort Lovrijenac in the distance, the only fort that belongs to the city walls but it's physically separated from them, and which you may visit after the tour.
As you wander around Dubrovnik's ancient walls, your guide will explain the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in the past. Hear stories of the rivalry and conquest Dubrovnik has faced and learn the secrets of how the country used defensive fortifications and diplomacy to remain an independent republic for several years, before ending your tour near the port.

The Voter Intimidation Case and the Blind Eye
Yes, the New Black Panther voter intimidation case is a story.
1:20 AM, Jul 17, 2010 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
There's more still. There is reason to believe that senior Justice Department officials have offered misleading testimony about the facts of the case. Thomas Perez, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, told the Civil Rights Commission and Congress that he was unaware of claims that the Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Eric Holder is unwilling to pursue cases in which a minority is not the victim. But Adams claims that he and two other career attorneys told Perez just that – one day before Perez said he'd never heard such a thing.
(For a good summary of the Perez issue, see this post by Jennifer Rubin, who has driven the story from the outset. And for more background, read her comprehensive piece here.)
So it's not that "the Justice Department" decided that "the facts and the law did not support pursing" the claims. The career attorneys in the voting rights division argued strongly – and believe to this day – that the facts and the law did support pursuing those claims. They were simply overruled by the Obama administration's political appointees.
In sum, the facts of the case are simple. New Black Panther members were caught on videotape violating the law. The Justice Department had won a default judgment in the case. Obama administration political appointees rejected that victory in favor of a non-punishment punishment. A DOJ voting rights attorney resigned to tell his story. And it is possible – perhaps likely – that Obama political appointees did not tell the truth.
How is that not a story?

Sotades: Symbols of Immortality on Greek VasesHardback

Product description
In this book the author explores the work of the fifth-century BC Athenian vase-painter, Sotades, one of the most familiar names in vase painting. Previous scholarship has dealt mainly with questions of attribution, style, and iconographic interpretation, but Dr Hoffman concentrates on inherent meaning: what does the imagery of these decorated vases really signify? He argues that, contrary to widely held conceptions, there is an underlying unity of meaning in Greek vases and their imagery, a unity rooted in the religious beliefs and ritual practices of the society from which they spring. Each chapter discusses a specific aspect of the artist's iconology, placing it in the context of fifth-century BC Greek philosophical and religious thought.

Review quote
Some of the works of the potter Sotades, and of the Sotades Painter - notably the British Museum's white-ground cups - have become familiar. Others have not, and it is the great virtue of this well-illustrated book that it brings them together. K.W. Arafat, The Classical Rev. 2000. There is much food for thought in this book. Hoffmann evidently knows the relevant material as well as anyone alive, and he has chosen a splendid subject. Times Literary Supplement ...'as exceptional and remarkable as the objects with which it deals...' Apollo Magazine '...This challenging and unconventional study-published by the Oxford Univeristy Press, as were the standard volumes on Attic vase painters by Sir John Beazley - will substantially provoke and stimulate discussion of Greek, and especially Sotadean, vases, which are some of Classicl AThens' most fascinating and unclassical remains.' Rolf Michael Schneider, Apollo The big-heartedness of Hoffmann's enterprise remains impressive ... Hoffmann's enthusiasm here strikes me every bit as infectious as it was 10 years ago; and again it is cause for gratitude. Antiquity Hoffman believes that each replicated series, together with their variants, must be taken collectively, thereby representing the totality of Athenian concerns about life, strife, and death for the individual citizen and for the Athenian polity as a whole - a persuasive view, skillfully presented. R. Brilliant, CHOICE Hoffmann's approach to interpreting vases, considering all the decoration on a given vessel in relation to its shape and carefully examining each detail, is to be applauded, and his innovative interpretations are often thought-provoking Judith M. Barringer, Vassar College, Classical World, June 99 Hoffman has an impressive grasp of a formidable range of evidence related to his subject, and has built up a complex and interesting series of interpretations. The footnotes in particular testify to a readiness to include evidence from all areas of the ancient world, not solely from art and archeology ... Hoffman has some fascinating insights, and has certainly thrown open some new areas for study; the book is full of possibilities. Although one may not be convinced by all his conclusion, the process by which he reaches them is always interesting. Diana Burton, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 17/02/99

Paesano's River Walk
403 East Commerce Street, San Antonio, TX 78205Map
Suite 230
+1 210 226 8490
Neighborhood: River Walk
Cuisine: Italian
If you are planning a trip to the Alamo city, there are two things you must eat: any type of authentic Mexican food and Paesano's "Shrimp Paesano." This incredible appetizer/entree is so rich and tasty that you won't know when to stop. Paesano's on the River Walk has a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere; you can sit inside or by the river and browse through an extensive wine list. Don't stop with the Shrimp Paesano, though, because everything on the menu is fresh and scrumptious. The pasta dishes are huge, the pizza is made with fresh, innovative ingredients, and the meats are varied and delicious. If you're dining away from downtown, but still in the mood for Italian food, visit Paesano's at its Quarry location.

1 in 5 big Japan firms wants exit from atomic power by 2030
Published on Aug 27, 2012 12:07 PM
TOKYO (REUTERS) - About one in five big Japanese firms wants to see the share of nuclear power in the electricity supply reduced to zero by 2030, a Reuters poll showed, amid a growing anti-nuclear clamour after last year's Fukushima atomic disaster.
But underlining concerns about a rise in energy costs without atomic power, the rest of the respondents supported a continued role for nuclear energy, with the biggest group opting for a share of 15 percent.
The poll comes as Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda considers options for a medium-term energy plan while vowing to reduce reliance on atomic energy without saying by how much or when.
Energy policy has become a major headache for Mr Noda and his Democratic Party of Japan, its ratings battered ahead of a general election likely to take place in November and give the ruling party a drubbing.

What is cheating?
I promise that this is not a soccer world cup story. It is much deeper than that!
On Friday night Ghana played Uruguay. In the final minute of the game the score was 1-1, (yes I know you don't understand how a sport can so exciting with so few goals scored), when a Uruguay player, Suarez stopped a shot from Ghana going in to the goal with his hands. He was sent off and Ghana was awarded a penalty, which is a free shot at the goal. The penalty was missed and then game ended 1-1. In these situations the game is decided by both teams taking penalties until someone misses. Ghana missed their penalty and when out of the competition.
So a player illegally stops a certain goal, and victory for the opposition, with an illegal action.
In my view the player has won the game for his team by cheating and I posted this view on twitter. I was shocked to find that no one agreed with me, even the panel on the BBC said, "they would defy anyone not to do the same."
Am I so out of touch to believe that winning by cheating is unacceptable? Imagine Tiger swopping his ball for a better lie, or an athlete taking drugs.
Is it now true that we simple judge what is morally right simply on the basis that it is ok if we get away with? which is what everyone seems to be telling me.

My lo is pretty much stttn. He naps during the day, his longest one is during naptime for my other two ds's. When he's awake he is happy. Smiles and even laughs when being tickled! I can tell already he's a sweetie. He likes his activity mat, tummy time or just lying on a blanket in the playroom while I play with his brothers. He also loves to just sit on my lap or cuddle. And he rarely fusses. Since he's been born I don't think he's cried more than a few minutes (at a time). This is my third and him being like this has really made it easier on me and allows me to be a better mom to my other two. Believe me, I've had my fair share of things to deal with. I do know what its like dealing with some of the stuff that's been vented about.
While I know we all love our lo's it can be tough at times. So, I thought it would be nice to share something we love or appreciate about our lo's!

It may help if it's been one of "those" days! :)
