Xgearlive 360 case, picture and short first impression.
I have heard about xgearlive 360 swivel case while back. I originally wanted the carbon fiber, but it was priced at 199.00 at the time. I didn't want to spend that much money so I wanted polycarbon clear one instead. So, soon as the pre-order started (March 16), I placed an order. Then, I pad2 came out, and after over 2month of wait, I finally got the case.
They have contacted me twice to let me know it was backordered, and production has been delayed, also asked me if I wanted refund. Because i wanted this case so much, i said I would wait.
I am glad I did. Here is the pictures and the first impression.
My first impressoin was the case didn't looked good by itself. The case wasn't just right without ipad in it. So, I put the Ipad2 in the case.
*Important: I had back armor on ipad and I had to take it off in order to fit. Ipad will NOT fit in case with back protector film.
After I put ipad2 in case, It felt solid and looked great. I really liked the looks and feel. I suits my need perfectly. The hinge on the back when flip open give nice slope for typing.
Enjoy the picture.

Im new to reading comics so im not sure where i should start with the Red Robin series should I jus start with Red Robin #1 or a certain issue in the Robin series?
Red Robin Help
Red Robin is in the Teen Titans at the moment. If you get that and work your way back you'll be good. Its just that we don't know how much information is kept from this reboot of the DC Universe.
Tim's Robin series. That's pre-reboot. There is a list of Trade Paperbacks (TPB) in green. You should be able to find them somewhere. Tim in Teen Titans. Also pre-reboot. Tim's Red Robin series. Also pre-reboot.
@Supreme Marvel: @PackYack: I wish I could help you out, but Supreme Marvel just did an outstanding job of stealing the spot light and giving you all the necessary info :P
@ArturoCalaKayVee: I do drama, it'll be bad of me not to steal the spot light. :P

That just earned you a follow.
iirc i think he's not in about 20 or so issues nearer the end of Teen Titans V3..... you probs won't miss him as much as me...and he does come back for the last few issues!!! I haven;t checked out New 52 Teen Titans coz I was really sad they cancelled Red Robin......
Red Robin works fine as a stand alone book. The only thing you really have to know before getting into it is Battle for the Cowl, and you can find the specific comics that make up that story arc right here with the main search function at the top of the screen. All you really need to know from Battle for the Cowl is that Batman is "dead" creating a problem as to who will take up the mantle of the Bat. In the end, Dick takes the mantle of Batman, Damian becomes the new Robin (because Dick knows Damian needs someone teaching him right from wrong), and Robin takes on the identity of Red Robin (an identity recently used by a villain Tim just defeated) and tried to prove his hunch that Batman is still alive.
Robin, overall, is an excellent series. I didn't care much for Willingham's run, but some people like him. If you want to read Robin but don't want to go back to the beginning, I would suggest jumping on at #148 right after One Year Later. That's probably the best place you could start other than from the beginning. If not there, then perhaps from #170. Fabian (the writer of Red Robin) takes over shortly after this point, and its a good place to get a feel for the last few story arcs before Battle for the Cowl.

Tim's Robin series. That's pre-reboot. There is a list of Trade Paperbacks (TPB) in green. You should be able to find them somewhere. Tim in Teen Titans. Also pre-reboot. Tim's Red Robin series. Also pre-reboot.
So in other words, you have the Robin series which starts first. Eventually it runs side-by-side with beginning Teen Titans. After Battle for the Cowl (irrelevant to the topic at hand, really), the Red Robin series started. He then rejoins at the end of the Teen Titans series. (The same one as before). Personally I'd recommend the first bit of the Teen Titans series and the Red Robin series. Then, if you want to dig into some back history, help yourself to the Robin series.

Which is why we are, where we are," says Mani Shankar Iyer, talking of panchayati raj and grassroots democracy. Vested interests continue to stand in the way of grassroots democracy; sections of the higher bureaucracy, for instance, and great number of politicians.
So, where are we? The answer to that is: "Though the Panchayat Raj institutions have been in existence for a long time, it has been observed that these institutions have not been able to acquire status and dignity of viable and responsive people's bodies due to a number of reasons including absence of regular elections, prolonged supersession, insufficient representation of weaker sections like Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and women, inadequate devolution of powers and lack of financial resources."
That was from the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992. Since then a lot of water has flown down the Yamuna. Today, Iyer, who was panchayati raj minister in UPA-I and had brought out what he calls as "My Report" on panchayati raj, would lay the blame on "10 years of unresponsive role of the UPA at the Centre" and on a complete lack of finesse in "last mile delivery", mainly because power has not devolved to the gram sabha and panchayat but has been hijacked by the collector-BDO-clerk axis.
Mahatma Gandhi is often quoted when it comes to local self-government. Power to the people, Swaraj or self-rule was his caller-tune. Pitted against Gandhi was B R Ambedkar, who saw caste-ridden villages as cesspools of poison. Wajahat Habibullah, who was the first secretary of a revived Panchayati Raj ministry, in 2004, says self-government has largely succeeded, and equates this to the triumph of democracy.
"We have succeeded in creating self-governing autonomous institutions at the village and district level. It all boiled down to funds, functions and functionaries. Funds have to be generated locally, functions have to clearly delineated and functionaries have to identified. We have come a long way," he says.
So-called modern-day Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, when campaigning for the Delhi assembly elections, spoke of the "mohalla committee", which is nothing but a panchayat in an urban setting. The argument is that only people at the "grassroots" would know their problems, and would strive to solve them to their satisfaction.
The problem is local self-government never became part of continuous discourse. Jawaharlal Nehru gave it prime place. But after his death it went dormant. The Left when it came to power in West Bengal gave it top billing, and panchayats in West Bengal brought tremendous change to the social and economic milieu. "Panchayats made a big contribution. If you ask whether India is a democracy because of local-self government, I would say yes it is," says D Raja, CPI MP.
Local self-government also got a shot in the arm when Rajiv Gandhi came to power. He held forth what Iyer calls "Rajivian solutions" to problems of poverty. "Go back to Rajiv Gandhi's principles," is today Iyer's ring-tune. But for all his loyalty to the Gandhi family, Iyer squarely blames the UPA, of which Sonia Gandhi is chairperson, for the current state of panchayati raj institutions. "The lacuna," says Iyer, "is that 60-90% of funds for local self-government comes from Delhi, for the implementing the centrally-sponsored schemes... The key to self-governance at the grassroots, then, lies in the hands of the Centre which has not lived up to its responsibilities."
That lacuna is seen where panchayats exist, where panchayat elections take place and where panchayat members do get to hold meetings. What about the Kashmir, where panchayats face terror threats? What about central India, where Maoists rule the roost? What about the northeast? In these areas, problems of internal security ride roughshod, and democracy and development then is held at gunpoint, miles away.
Those who hold up panchayats, however, do not need guns. Caste and religion and gender come in handy. The Institute of Rural Management Anand's "State of Panchayats Report 2008-09" brings this out succinctly: "In many places, particularly at the gram panchayat and intermediate panchayat levels, seating is segregated along gender and caste lines. The insensitivity, indifference, vested interests, abusive language and non-cooperation of other elected representative functionaries and officials were also largely common... Casteist practices are endemic and afflicts even government officials of higher levels who are duty-bound to counter them."
Proxy representation is another blot. Husbands, political parties and upper caste men are the worst offenders. Personal factors such as low socioeconomic status, illiteracy or low levels of education, inadequate information, lack of political affiliation and association and lack of experience are barriers that keep proxy representation alive, and thriving.
Given the shadow cast by caste, which is perhaps the most "debilitating personal factor for men and women alike", it will take much more than holding panchayat elections or the general elections for that matter to bring about grassroots democracy. Till then, democracy remains a word to which too many of us have taken a fancy to. And swear by.

Recent Windermere Island Reviews
Paradise found
Stepping into Provender and looking out to the ocean, we instantly relaxed and stayed that way the whole week. We found the house and grounds to be exactly as described. The house was bright, clean, and comfortable. Even the beds were comfortable, which is rare for me to say. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. The staff at the house was so kind and helpful. From directing us to a local restaurant to eat on the first night, to hooking us up with fresh seafood for a feast on our last night, they made sure we were well taken care of! We visited a lot of the island, all the way up to Harbour Island and down to Lighthouse Beach (our favorite!), but we most enjoyed being at the house. On the island, you will not find a lot of tourists, or crowds, but you will find a lot of nice people and some of the most breathtaking (and empty or near-empty if you visit in winter) beaches anywhere. We can't wait to go back to Eleuthera, and Provender!
Our family has been enjoying Eleuthera for the past 17 years, but we've finally found our favorite spot! Sea Pearl is perfectly situated on a hill with views of the Atlantic from the front and peaceful Savannah Sound at the back. The beach is a 3-5 minute (extremely easy) walk from the front steps...perfect enough to knock most of the sand off on your return. The owner has kindly placed lounge chairs on the beach as well. The house has been carefully and tastefully restored with every amenity in good working order. Having privileges at the Windermere Club is a plus...especially if you need a "break" from the beach to enjoy the pool or the tennis court! Our family has been fortunate enough to have enjoyed 2 visits to Sea Pearl...we can't wait to get back.

Allergy Awareness Week
Posted on 3rd May 2015 by Marlene
In 1998, the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network, now referred to as FARE (Food Alergy Research & Education), created Food Allergy Awareness Week to educate the public about food allergies, "a potentially life-threatening medical condition."
Providing a special opportunity to spotlight food allergies and anaphylaxis, this year's awareness week is May 10-16 and
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food allergies are more common than a lot of people realize and affect an estimated 4 to 6 percent of children in the United States.
Food allergies occur when a person eats a certain food and their body's immune system gets confused, thinking the food is harmful and responds to it as if it were something that may cause injury or harm. This can be life threatening.
Many people have heard of a peanut allergy, but did you realise there are actually eight foods that, according to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), are responsible for 90 percent of serious allergic reactions? These are peanuts, tree nuts, cow's milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat.
But do you know the signs?
One of the most common symptoms of an allergic reaction is hives. Other signs include itchy or watery eyes, stuffy or itchy nose, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea and/or swelling. If any of these warning signs appear seek immediate help.
A more severe allergic reaction that can lead to death is called anaphylaxis. Some of the symptoms associated with anaphylaxis include throat tightness, wheezing, trouble breathing and/or tingling in hands or feet. If signs of anaphylaxis occur, call 911 immediately.
Most people have an allergic reaction within minutes of consuming one of the aforementioned foods but sometimes it can take hours.
It is also important to note that when a person has an allergy to a particular food or another substance they may also be allergic to additional foods. The immune system sees the proteins in the offensive item as being closely related.
For example, according to the AAAAI, if a person is allergic to ragweed, they may also have reactions to bananas or melons. This condition is known as cross-reactivity.
If a person has had an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis, follow-up allergy testing should be done by an allergist or immunologist to confirm an actual allergy versus intolerance. This allows the person to be prepared should a future reaction occur.
At all times throughout the year, but especially during Food Allergy Awareness Week, it is important to watch for symptoms of food allergies that can affect children as well as adults.

Ed Rendell on The State of U.S. Infrastructure 80 Years After the P.W.A.
Monday, July 08, 2013 - 03:21 PM
The Lincoln Tunnel and Triborough Bridge in New York City, the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state, and the Overseas Highway connecting Key West to mainland Florida are all products of the New Deal's Public Works Administration, which went into effect 80 years ago today. The Takeaway spoke with Ed Rendell is the former governor of Pennsylvania and the founder and co-chair of Building America's Future.
Rendell believes that the United States has delayed investing in infrastructure long enough. He discusses why the nation should invest in infrastructure despite the other pressing issues facing the country.
The Public Works Administrations was the driving force of America's biggest construction effort to date. It electrified rural America, building canals, tunnels, bridges, highways, streets, sewage systems, hospitals, schools and universities.
In fact, every year it consumed roughly half of the concrete and a third of the steel of the entire nation as it strengthened our infrastructure and put Americans back to work.
Now 80 years later, the American Society of Civil Engineers gives the United States a D+ grade on infrastructure, 1 in 9 bridges are structurally deficient, and according to a recent study, air transit ranks 33rd globally behind Panama and Malaysia.

Unfortunately the rail infrastructure for the NYC area proposed by the Regional Plan Association in its 1929 Plan was not built. Robert Moses though went full ahead on roads, bridges, tunnels and parks. He thought rail was obsolete.
The Lincoln Tunnel was constructed by the Port of New York Authority, now the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1945. Subsequent tubes were built later.

Bordering Little Chem Chem is an acacia forest within the typical landscape of the Tarangire National Park and its impressive Baobab trees. The camp overlooks the freshwater Lake Burunge with the Babati mountain range as a magnificent backdrop on the south-west. The north east faces the hills of Tarangire in the distance. Known as the sunrise camp, Little Chem Chem is home to early morning displays of glory.
The atmosphere at Little Chem Chem is welcoming, elegant and oozing authenticity of a bygone era. The luxury of sharing 16'000ha with only 10 guests sets the ideal stage where one can perfectly blend into the wilderness. Lions roam around the camp and call each other at night; stately elephants march down to Lake Burunge to get a sprinkling of fresh water; cheetahs hunt on the plains facing the lake; leopards, eland and lesser kudu can be seen in the more dense woods in the inner part of the concession. Also wherever there is water, the bird life is abundant and colourful.
Set on the earth, the five vintage tents have a large bedroom with rocking chair and study desk, a vanity area with dressing room and an en suite bathroom with bucket shower and flushing toilet.
Guests have a choice to dine in their tent or the mess tent or outside under the trees with a fire place.
Activities at the Little Chem Chem Bushcamp include game drives, walking safaris and bird watching. There are also hot air balloon trips within Tarangire National Park.

Finnegan's Wake
Tune for Finnegan's Wake
|Problems playing this file? See media help.
|Wikisource has original text related to this article:
"Finnegan's Wake" is a ballad that arose in the 1850s in the music-hall tradition of comical Irish songs. The song was a staple of the Irish folk-music group The Dubliners, who played it on many occasions and included it on several albums, and is especially well known to fans of The Clancy Brothers, who have performed and recorded it with Tommy Makem. The song has more recently been recorded by Irish-American Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys. The song is also a staple in the repertoire of Irish folk band The High Kings, as well as Darby O'Gill, whose version incorporates and encourages audience participation.
In the ballad, the hod-carrier Tim Finnegan, born "with a love for the liquor", falls from a ladder, breaks his skull, and is thought to be dead. The mourners at his wake become rowdy, and spill whiskey over Finnegan's corpse, causing him to come back to life and join in the celebrations. Whiskey causes both Finnegan's fall and his resurrection—whiskey is derived from the Irish phrase uisce beatha (pronounced [ˈiʃkʲə ˈbʲahə]), meaning "water of life".[1]
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin street,
A gentleman Irish, mighty odd.
He had a brogue both rich and sweet
And to rise in the world he carried a hod.
You see he'd a sort of a tipplin' way
With a love for the liquor he was born.
And to help him on his way each day,
He'd a drop of the craythur ev'ry morn.
Whack fol' the dah, now, dance to your partner.
Wipe the floor, your trotters shake.
wasn't it the truth I told ya?
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.
One morning Tim was rather full;
His head felt heavy, which made him shake.
He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull
And they carried him home, his corpse to wake.
They rolled him up in a nice, clean sheet
and laid him out upon the bed
With a gallon of whiskey at his feet
And a bottle of porter at his head.
(Repeat Chorus)
His friends assembled at the wake
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch.
First she brought in tay and cake,
Then pipes, tobacco, and whiskey punch.
Biddy O'Brien began to cry,
"Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?"
"Arragh, Tim, mavourneen! Why did you die?"
"Arragh, hold yer gob!" says Paddy McGee.
(Repeat Chorus)
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job.
"Oh Biddy," says she, "you're wrong, I'm sure."
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob
And left her sprawling on the floor.
Then the war did soon engage;
'Twas woman to woman and man to man.
Shillelagh law was all the rage
And a row and a ruction soon began.
(Repeat Chorus)
Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head
When a noggin of whiskey flew at him.
It missed, and falling on the bed
The whiskey scattered over Tim.
Tim revives, see how he rises!
Timothy risin' from the bed!
Says' "Whirl your whiskey 'round like blazes,"
"Thanum an Dhul! Do ye think I'm dead?"
(Repeat Chorus)

- brogue (accent)
- hod (a tool to carry bricks in) (Slang term for a tankard or drinking vessel)
- tippler's way (a tippler is a drunkard)
- craythur (craythur is whiskey, "a drop of the craythur" is an expression to have some whiskey)
- Whack fol the dah (non-lexical vocalsinging called "lilting"; see Scat singing and mouth music it is also punned upon repeatedly by James Joyce as Whack 'fol the Danaan')

- Thanam 'on dhoul (your soul to the devil)
Non-English phrases:
- The last part of the song where Tim Finnegan says, "Thanum an dhul" ("D'ainm an diabhal"), means "In the name of the devil", and comes from the Irish.
- However, in other versions of the song, Tim says "Thunderin' Jaysus."
Use in literature[edit]
The song is famous for providing the basis of James Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake (1939), in which the comic resurrection of Tim Finnegan is employed as a symbol of the universal cycle of life. As whiskey, the "water of life", causes both Finnegan's death and resurrection in the ballad, so the word "wake" also represents both a passing (into death) and a rising (from sleep). Joyce removed the apostrophe in the title of his novel to suggest an active process in which a multiplicity of "Finnegans", that is, all members of humanity, fall and then wake and arise.[2][3]
"Finnegan's Wake" is featured as the climax of the primary storyline in Philip José Farmer's award-winning novella, Riders of the Purple Wage.[4]
Many Irish bands have performed Finnegan's Wake including notably:
- The Clancy Brothers on several of their albums, including Come Fill Your Glass with Us (1959), A Spontaneous Performance Recording (1961), Recorded Live in Ireland (1965), and the 1984 Reunion concert at Lincoln Center.[5]
- The Dubliners on several live albums.[6]
- Dropkick Murphys on their albums Do or Die and Live on St. Patrick's Day From Boston, MA.[7]

[Verse 1: Rihanna]
They can say whatever, I'mma do whatever
No pain is forever - yup! You know this
Tougher than a lion, ain't no need in trying
I live where the sky ends - yup! You know this
Never lying, truth-teller
That Rihanna rain just won't let up
All-black on; blacked-out shades, blacked-out Maybach
I'mma rock this shit like fashion, as in going til they say stop
And my runway never looked so clear, but the hottest bitch in heels right here
No fear, and while you getting your cry on, I'm getting my fly on
Sincere: I see you aiming at my pedestal, I better let you know
[Hook: Rihanna]
That I'm so hard - yea yea yea! I'm so hard
So hard - yea yea yea! (that Rihanna rain just don't let up)
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
All up on it, know you want to clone it
Ain't like me, that chick too phony
Ride this beat beat beat like a pony
Meet me at the top - getting lonely
Who think they test me now, run through your town
I shut it down. Brilliant, resilient, fan mail from 27 million
And I want it all, it's gonna take more than that
Hope that ain't you got, I need it all
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes
I can't just let you run up on me like that, all on me like that
Yeah, I see you aiming at my pedestal, so I think I gotta let you know
[Hook: Rihanna]
[Verse 3: Young Jeezy]
Go hard or go home, back to your residence
Soon as the Red Dogs give the block back to the residents
I used to run my whole block like Obama and them
You don't have to believe me - go ask my momma and them
Couldn't even come in my room, smelled like a kilo
Look like me and two of my boys was playing casino
Everything I keep in my bag they can't afford it
Tell them "give me back my swag!" - they trying to clone it
See my Louis chucks, Louis flag, Louis frames, Louis belts
What that make me, "Louis Man"?
I'm in the all-white party wearing all black
With my new black watch to cause a heart attack
Cardiac arrest, Carti at the wrist
Yeah, they say they hard, they ain't hard as this
Hard: the one word that describes me
If I wasn't doing this, you know where I be
[Outro: Rihanna]
Where the girls talking trash? Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?
Where them bloggers at? Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?
Where your lighters at? Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?

Toward the end of "Sugar Daddy," one of the less thought-out songs on So Stylistic, the debut of multiracial all-girl Brooklyn crew FannyPackJessibel, Belinda, and Catone cringes at the idea of these young ladies befalling the same fate. After all, the quantized squeals and sighs here follow a couple of minutes of moaning for an older man with fat pocketsno good ending to that story. Listening to FannyPack is, in a sense, aural pedophiliatwo of the three girls are in their teensand while the project carries the sheen of Radio Disney, these girls use their duff way better than Hilary does. They don't rap so much as speak, their unaffected vocal patterns conveying more sass than any contrived cadence could (cf. JJ Fad, L'Trimm). "Hey Mami" is propelled by low funk and Latin flourishes and was co-written by Jessibel based on the catcalls guys around her way holler. "Do It to It" and "Boom Boom" are flawless Miami bass mimicries, certain to tear the under-21 club up. Best of all is "System Boomin'," a slice of technotronic hip-house heaven that's sure to make WKTU quiver, and the next Jock Jams compilation to boot. But at the intersection of shirtless paysans at Webster Hall and drunken frat boys on the loge deck, there's always a splash of sex. "I told this dude to speed it up," Belinda raps in between countless exhortations to dig the groove and body move. "Pretend that I'm food and just eat it up." Maybe the most subversive sex of all is sex that makes it past the censors.

We've blogged before about why blogging works for your business but here's six reasons why blogging is also good for you personally as a business person.
1. It encourages good time management
A daily blog, even a weekly blog needs a degree of commitment and focus that too often our modern working lives lack. A blog may be a reflection of an event you've encountered or an emotion you've felt but what you write and publish will always be a result of your thoughts and that means stepping out of the daily grind, which in turn will freshen up your brain.
2. It gives you a reason to research
Remember the days when you weren't chasing your tail? One of the greatest assets the Internet offers is the quantity of information and ease of access to it. However, we often barely have time to get through our emails in a day let alone 'surf' for research purposes. Checking facts or finding inspiration for a blog post gives you a genuine reason to take time to 'surf' and you will be amazed at what you will learn.
3. It helps you stay in touch with the real world
Long hours and sleepless nights can often mean work life overtakes personal life in a big blur. If you find yourself getting home and either going straight to bed or booting up the laptop again a blog may help you re-connect with the real world again. The research you do is likely to keep you more in touch with the news and trends than you think. Plus feedback to your blog is normally a good indicator of the public mood surrounding the topic you have written about.
4. It develops your communication skills
In the age of 140 characters or less and quick email exchanges communication has changed. A blog gives you a chance to really get your teeth into writing with a bit more length. Not tomes though, blogs need to be succinct so the art of self-editing is one well practised by bloggers. Blogging can also help develop presentation skills, coaching and provide inspiration to your readers without you realising Writing a blog, being able to just assemble your thoughts, whether you get feedback or not can also do wonders for your confidence.
5. It encourages you to find your expert field
You probably know a lot about many things, but blogging can help you find a focus on what your true specialist subject is. If you show you know what you are blogging about, others will quickly pick up on this and follow your words of advice.
6. Because you can
Blogging has never been easier. With 123-apps you can self-host a blog using proven software like WordPress. That in turn can be accessed, written and managed via your PC, tablet or smartphone. There's an app for that and, as this blogger currently is, you can even update your blog from a crowded commuter train and relieve some of the stress caused by 'signalling problems'.
Blogging really is the answer to self-development in the modern age. You are in control but if you get into it you will probably find yourself driven to blog more and more, learning, developing and improving yourself every post.

Running on fumes: Celtics sputter against Pistons
|01.20.13 at 10:14 pm ET
Despite the return of guard Avery Bradley to the starting lineup, the Celtics lost their third straight game as the starting lineup endured a dreadful performance, falling in Detroit to the Pistons, 103-88. The quintet of Bradley, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass shot a woeful 17-of-48 from the field while combining to score just 40 points.
Rondo had just eight points on 4-of-16 shooting, and though he had nine rebounds and 15 assists, he also matched a career high by turning over the ball nine times. Garnett and Courtney Lee led the Celtics with 16 points each.
The Pistons featured a balanced attack with six players scoring at least 13 points, with Andre Drummond leading the way with 16 points off the bunch. Center Greg Monroe added 15 points and 11 rebounds in 38 minutes.
With the loss, the Celtics dropped back to 20-20, including a 7-12 road record. They will now travel to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Nueces Electric gets $92.5M Navy deal
Firm to maintain distribution lines at 2 area bases in 50-year contract
Robstown-based Nueces Electric Cooperative received a 50-year, $92.5 million contract from the Navy to maintain the electric distribution lines powering Naval Air Stations Corpus Christi and Kingsville and their outlying fields.
The deal was described as historic but was expected to add only a few jobs.
John Sims, the company's executive manager, said the contract is the first Navy utility privatization in the country awarded to a co-op, and the first to involve electric distribution services by a co-op for multiple Navy bases. The contract was signed Monday.
The office of U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, announced the award Tuesday, confirming the two firsts for the company in a media release. Calls to the Navy were not returned Tuesday.
Nueces Electric takes over the distribution system on June 1. Until then, the company will continue to assess the system, become familiar with it and match its inventory to the system, Sims said.
The company also has budgeted the hiring of at least two people who will work out of the Corpus Christi base, which includes the Cabaniss and Waldron Naval Auxiliary Landing Fields. Company employees working at the Ricardo office likely will maintain the lines at Naval Air Station Kingsville and its outlying field in Orange Grove, Sims said.
"It all depends on how complex the system is," Sims said. "Even though we've done quite a bit of analysis since 2002, a lot has changed at the bases and privatization is something new."
New lines won't be installed before June 1. After the transition, any repairs or upgrades to the system will be done by the company, Sims said.
Nueces Electric was the sole proposal received by the Navy for this contract, according to the Navy's contract Web site. About 75 percent of the work will be done in Corpus Christi with the remainder to be done in Kingsville.
The Robstown company, established in 1938, is a not-for-profit, customer-owned electric cooperative serving eight Coastal Bend counties. It provides electric distribution services to more than 21,000 residences and businesses and power supply to more than 17,000 residences and businesses.
Since 2005, the company has grown from 12,000 customers to about 33,000 customers from the Rio Grande Valley to Dallas.

1997 Lexus ES 300 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 8 reviews
The arrival of the 1997 ES 300 signified the beginning of the third generation of the Lexus entry-level sedan. With the debut of the GS 300 sports sedan in 1993, the ES had been put in an awkward place. The ES was initially conceived a sports sedan, but it fell short of its German competition. When the GS took its place in the sports sedan niche, questions arose about whether the ES 300 was simply a re-badged Toyota. In 1997, a totally redesigned ES 300 aimed to cut all ties between itself and its Toyota counterpart, and to stand on its own as true luxury car.
The ES 300 had expanded in all dimensions: height, length, width, and wheelbase. About seventy pounds were shaved off the vehicle's curb weight. Some refinements to the 3.0 liter V-6 allowed for more power, boosting horsepower from 188 to 200. Engine torque was bumped from 203 to 214 pound-feet. The ES's 0-60 dropped to just over eight seconds, and the quarter mile time snuck under 16. Despite steady power increases, the fuel economy had changed little since 1989. This year, efficiency increased to 19/26 mpg. No matter how much additional horsepower was added, nothing seemed to interrupt the silenced ride.
Although these ESs are under a ten years old, many owners complain about electronic failure for the interior displays. Lighting for both the radio and the instrument cluster dims or disappears. This was an occasional problem throughout the second generation as well. While noteworthy, it is still an infrequent problem. The consensus on the new ES was that it combined comfort, luxury, performance, and safety into one attractive and relatively affordable package.

Julie Cart: Unraveling Her Father's Cold War Secrets
Julie Cart writes for the Los Angeles Times.
...Growing up, we never knew exactly what my father did when he left for work. All we knew was that he worked long hours and was sometimes gone for days, leaving my mother with the cryptic salutation: I can't tell you where I'm going, what I will be doing, who I'll be with or when I'll be back. Love you.
A half-century later, a phone call flung open a door to the past. Here at last was a way to find answers to years of questions that a curious little girl had thrown at her father — and kept wondering about to this day.
I started researching Corona. It turned out that quite a bit of information was available. My father and men like him had a hand in creating the world's first photo reconnaissance satellite during the Cold War and, without the use of sophisticated computers, ginned up a remarkable orbiting tool to gather intelligence on Communist countries, especially China and the Soviet Union.
Although details of Corona were declassified in 1995, the men who worked on it and two subsequent programs — Gambit and Hexagon — were still bound by their 50-year pledge of secrecy until the U.S. government freed them to talk several months ago....

Merilee Raines – Chief Financial Officer
Good morning and thank you for joining us today. First, a quick overview of our second quarter results. In our press release this morning, we reported revenues of $317.9 million, a year-to-year growth of 13% and diluted earnings per share of $0.83, a growth of 34%.
Revenues were somewhat favorable to our thinking at the time of our April call and earnings per share were about $0.05 above our thinking at that time. Revenue performance relative to our expectations was the results of a few factors. First, U.S. distributor inventory levels for instrument consumables and rapid assays ended the quarter slightly above our customary range of three to four weeks. Additionally, revenues from livestock and poultry diagnostic kits were higher than expected, offsetting somewhat lower revenues from instrument placements. The higher distributor inventory levels contributed 2 pennies of earnings favorability. The remaining $0.03 of favorability came from operating performance, as manifested in the gross margin, primarily due to favorable revenue mix, as well as lower spending on operating expenses.
The economic environment continues to provide no benefit to our largest market the companion animal veterinary market. Second quarter data from a subset of customers who used our Cornerstone Practice Management System show that in aggregate patients visits were down just over 0.5% year-to-year and practice revenue growth was about 2% both very consistent with what we observed in the first quarter. What we see causes us to maintain our views at while the market is stabilizing in North America. A return to more robust growth will be very gradual and somewhat uneven, given the sensitivity of consumer sentiment to vast leading economic news.
The situation in Europe varies by country, but we believe overall it is consistent with the U.S. As per the Asian markets, the fundamentals are generally stronger, and we have not seen a significant impact to our businesses resulting from the natural disasters in Japan back in March. Second quarter revenues grew organically 8% after adjusting for a 5% favorable impact from currency. This organic growth is on par with the first quarter and up 2 points from the 6% we achieved in Q4 and for the full year last year. Our instruments and consumables with second quarter revenues up $98.6 million posted organic growth of 9%. When further adjusted for changes in distributor inventory levels for consumables, the growth rate was 8%. As for the individual components, revenues from sales for our IDEXX VetLab instruments at $21.1 million grew 5% organically.
Total placements for our primary consumable generating instruments, chemistry and hematology increased 17% year-to-year. Our ProCyte and LaserCyte Hematology placements increased by nearly 70% driven by ProCyte with 284 installations in the quarter. Even with the success of ProCyte, the interest in LaserCyte remained strong and placements were only down about 10% year-to-year despite the fact that ProCyte was not in the market in the second quarter of last year. This interest affords us the opportunity to sell both new LaserCytes and those we take in trade from the ProCyte sale and refurbish.

A major grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will allow the University of Michigan-Flint Nursing Department to offer 15 Health Resources and Services Administration Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS).The program will provide $15,000 scholarships per year for 4 years to each of 15 economically disadvantaged Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students, for a total of $60,000 per student over the course of the program. The total award to all eligible students will be $900,000 by the end of the program in 2016.
The SDS program promotes diversity among health profession students and practitioners by providing scholarships to full-time students with financial need from disadvantaged backgrounds who are enrolled in health professions and nursing programs.
"The number of minority registered nurses is much lower than the minority population in the U.S.," noted Constance Creech, associate professor and director of Graduate Nursing Programs at UM-Flint. "There is research that supports that disadvantaged minority nursing students are more likely to work with disadvantaged populations upon graduation, thus improving care to underserved populations."
The University of Michigan-Flint was the only nursing program in Michigan to receive one of the 51 Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students grants.
"This will help academically talented disadvantaged RN students become Nurse Practitioners," said Margaret Andrews, UM-Flint's director of nursing. "The $60,000 scholarship over 4 years will cover tuition and other costs related to graduate school."
Participating schools are responsible for selecting scholarship recipients, making reasonable determinations of need, and providing scholarships that do not exceed the allowable costs.
"You must be a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree, meet all the admission criteria for the DNP program, and be designated disadvantaged by income criteria," according to Gwen Pryor,coordinator of student learning. "Prospective students must apply by March 1st and meet the low income criteria."

5 Concerns From Title II
1. The courts
2. Congress
3. A new president
4. The budget
5. Deadlock
These are the five perils Julian Hattem of The Hill recently highlighted as potential pitfalls for the FCC's new net neutrality rules. Hattern's full piece is required reading for anyone concerned about the future of the Internet, since it casts a light on sheer amount of uncertainty the rules are already causing.
An excerpt about the threat of deadlock from the piece, featuring our own Honorary Chairman Rick Boucher:
For now, given the FCC's current makeup of three Democrats and two Republicans, any company asking for exemptions to the net neutrality rules is likely to be rejected.
But if that should happen to change — for instance, if a Democratic president is unable to move his or her nominees through a GOP-controlled Senate after the current commissioners' term expire — the agency could be stuck in a 2-2 deadlock, which would automatically grant an exemption, known as forbearance.
"It's not too far out there," former Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), who helped write the 1996 law undergirding the FCC's authority, recently told The Hill.
"In that circumstance, if a forbearance petition is filed and they don't act on it, it could be deemed granted."
