We hope to highlight the dedication of our chefs to charitable activities and to helping those in need. As a creative chef I am thrilled to be working with Malan Breton in creating a piece of culinary inspired fashion art for a great cause and for a very special event."
The highlight of the evening is a one-of-a-kind Chef Jacket Fashion Show produced by Fashion Indie. Designed by New York's best emerging designers, with conceptual input by top culinary celebrities, the chef jackets will be auctioned off to raise money for Action Against Hunger.
Partnering with Katie Lee Joel on the creation of her jacket has been a unique and fun way to help Action Against Hunger pursue its vision of a world without hunger," says fashion designer Joanna Mastroianni.
Participating and attending chefs include Chefs for Humanity President and Founder Cat Cora and Charter Chef Council Chair Ming Tsai. They are joined by their fellow council chefs and friends Marcus Samuelsson, Christina Pirello, Robert Irvine, Katie Lee Joel, Ted Allen, Diane Henderiks, Paul Dillon and others.

SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LoanLove.com is a borrower advice website that offers in-depth information on home loans that experienced home buyers can benefit from in an easy-to-understand and entertaining way that even first-time borrowers will be able to grasp. The team at LoanLove.com is devoted to help empower both first time and experienced homeowners with valuable resources, first-class knowledge and connections to top-rated industry professionals and has the mission of helping consumers and borrowers to obtain the latest information on mortgage lending news, the real estate market and the U.S. financial landscape in order to help them obtain a home loan that they will love. The latest in Loan Love articles titled "Selling Your House Without a Realtor (PROS and CONS)" now provides professional tips on selling your house on your own without a realtor . The tips offered can help homeowners weigh out their options so that they are only making the best decisions when it comes to their homes.
Loan Love's newest article begins by stating: "Selling your house without a realtor can be very tempting at first glance, especially when you start punching the numbers on saving what can typically be as much as 6 percent sales commission. But before you start posting those "For Sale by Owner" signs in the front yard, take a moment to consider the pros and cons before making the big decision to go it alone in today's housing market . It's not too difficult to come up with the primary reason to try to sell your house on your own: no real estate agency commission. Unless you are able to negotiate something with the buyer, you are likely to be the one covering the entire commission. This can run as high as 5 to 6 percent of the sales price, and is typically split evenly between the seller's agency and the buyer's agency. If your house sells for $275,000, for example, you could expect to pay a total of $16,500 to the two brokerages involved if you owe a 6 percent commission.
"This isn't the only reason why homeowners might feel the urge to sell their home on their own. Many homeowners may feel that they are the best person to represent their property's best assets and without the cost of real estate commission coming into play, negotiations may be a lot easier. The article continues by explaining the benefits for homeowners trying to sell a home without a realtor while going over the disadvantages of doing so as well. This is examined further in the article by saying:"But there is another side to the commission coin. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), only 9 percent of today's sellers are FSBO . The category has been on a downward trend since hitting a high of 19 percent in 1997. Among those sellers who decided to go the FSBO route, about 40 percent of sales are completed as a closed transaction. This means the homeowner already knew the buyer, either as a friend, acquaintance or family member. Of those who did not previously know the buyer, 18 percent were contracted directly by the buyer to express interest in the property. Taking all these factors into account, it becomes clear that the portion of FSBO sellers who sold their home without knowing the buyer and who were not directly contacted by a buyer, is significantly smaller than the 9 percent."

Full of charm apartment made as duplextriplex awaits you, direct access by a cobblestone full of flowers courtyard. Ground floor, 1st and 2nd floors, illuminated by many windows, equipped with furniture of the XVIII century and part with contemporary furniture, luxury equipments. Charming and attentive neighbors. Possibility to park a car20in a fenced parking, additional charge. In the heart of the Triangle: Hôtel de ville, Bastille, République via the Marais, 15 min away by foot from Beaubourg.

Many shows, theatres, cinemas, Cirque d'Hiver, Paris monuments, fashion boutiques, music, furniture, large choice of French and20International restaurants.
We had a delightful time in this charming flat. Everything was as Bettina promised and the location is minutes away from transit, bike rentals, bistros and charming little markets. It's a pleasant walk of about 15 minutes to the Seine and close to the Picasso museum. The quartier is quiet (a few party noises on Saturday night and an ebullient daycare/school across the street are al we heard.) One small note of caution: if you are planning on riding the Velib bikes to the centre of town during rush hour traffic, you take your life in your hands!
Charming surprise in a great neighbourhood. We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious apartment on three levels and the classy touches like Occitane bath products. Lots of great restaurants, boulangeries, and shopping within easy walking distance. Will come again!
The perfect location - 5 minute walks to 3 different metro lines and grocery stores, restaurants, bars & boulangeries abound. Bettina was a joy to work with and made the process simple. Staying here really made our Paris trip perfect. A few words of advice: take advantage of the metro! It's so easy and THE BEST way to get around. Drink lots of wine! Try foie gras & escargot. Don't miss Montmartre or the Eiffel tower at night. Cannot wait to go back -- will definitely stay here when I do!
We were planning our vacation back in January and it was suggested that we consider renting an apartment vs a hotel room. Best suggestion ever! The apartment is only 1/2 block from the Metro. Our plan was to experience Paris and this location made that so easy to do.We found some great little restaurants, stores, and shops, and found the local merchants to be very accommodating to our lack of french. The flat was very neat, everything as advertised. had a bit of trouble figuring out the induction stove top and the microwave but that was the only issue we had. Some of my family members are planning a trip to Paris in the near future and we will definitely recommend this to them. Wish it hadn't rained so much while we were there, but all in all, a great location and a wonderful owner!
We were extremely happy with this apartment during our recent stay in Paris. The furnishings are comfortable and nice quality. One of the first things I notice when we travel, of course, is the cleanliness of our accommodations and this apartment far exceeded my critical eye. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenage daughters and we had plenty of room, even with the sharing of one bathroom. An added bonus was the proximity to a market which we stopped at daily to buy food to carry with us on our sightseeing and to have late night snacks. There is also a wonderful pastry shop just across the street from the Metro station, which is just a few blocks from the apartment. Bettina was wonderful to work with from start to finish and kept in touch with us with plenty of information about Paris and her apartment. You will not be disappointed with a stay in this comfortable and affordable apartment.
This apartment was perfect for our family of 5. Two kids slept in a double bed in a room, we slept in our double bed in our room and one had the couch. The location is very nice, felt very safe to walk 3 minutes down to supermarket and one minute to bakery and coffee. A 15 minute walk to Pompidou centre and Hint Hunt attraction. 5 minute walk to the metro stop. Free off street parking. Loved having amenities like the washing machine and dishwasher. Fabulous stay.
Charming apartment, in the Triangle made up of the Hôtel de Ville, the Place de la Bastille and the Place de la République. Few20steps away from one of the oldest and most prestigious area of the picturesque Paris: the Marais. Stroll as your liking through the History, along the beautiful built palaces around the Pace des Vosges, Place Royale early in the 18° century, a compendium of architecture, art history and passion. The most beautiful townhouse built at the 17° and 18° century: townhouse of Sully, townhouse of Rohan, the museums "Picasso", "Carnavalet". Lose yourself in the area of the Rue des Rosiers, across its narrow streets lined with hand-crafted shops. A more trendy area? Go to the picturesque areas of La Bastille with its shopping streets and its restaurants. You will also be able to cross the Seine and to get to l'Ile Saint-Louis or l'Ile de la Cité with Notre-Dame-de-Paris by foot. Name: "La Pompadour"; period: French Revolution.

Suicides increase sharply in Army Guard, Reserves
Thursday - 1/20/2011, 2:54pm EST
The latest statistics on soldier suicides have not been good.
Army Vice Chief of Staff General Peter Chiarelli says that in 2010 the Army saw 343 suicides - 69 more than in 2009. That includes soldiers, Army civilians, and their family members.
There was a modest reduction in the number of suicides among soldiers serving on active duty. But Chiarelli says there was a significant spike in the number of suicides among soldiers not serving on active duty and a doubling of the number in the Army National Guard. The number of Guard and Reserve troops who killed themselves while not on active duty jumped to 145. That's up from 80 the previous year.
Officials give some credit to new risk reduction programs - and other policy changes - for the modest decrease among soldiers serving on active duty.
Chiarelli says he has high hopes for a relatively new service-wide Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program. It focuses on improving soldiers' resiliency.
He says the reality is it's easier to offer help to soldiers serving on active duty. Part of the military's strategy moving forward will be to extend the success it has had to inactive troops.

Renaming the Schwar(t)zkopf baby.
Brief History
In "Naming the Schwarzkopf Baby" (August 1991), Ross Eckler pseudonymously issued the challenge of finding a real name of at least 15 letters with no repeats, unaware of the then-quite-vital Melvin. He also proposed naming the hypothetical baby EMILY JUNG SCHWARZKOPF (20 letters). Soon, readers would concoct 22 to 26-letter proposals employing various devices.
In the realm of famous people, shorter records were noted--most famously MICHAEL TYSON (12), who is tied by baseball's BUTCH WYNEGAR and BUCK MARTINEZ if common nicknames are allowed. I noted manager BUCK SHOWALTER (13)--often called BUCKY (14)--and fictional character PINKY TUSCADERO (14) of TV's Happy Days.
More creative theoretical names have been proposed, each consisting of a real first and last name, though not of the same person. At 17 letters, we meet BARNEY WOLFSCHMIDT, FLOYD KIRSCHENBAUM, and MARK YEDLOUTSCHNIG. At 18, BEULAH TROMPCZYNSKI and MELVIN SCHWARTZKOPF with a T. (While the General and the real Melvin have no T, others do.) However, none of these exceeds our very real friend Deborah.
New Discoveries
The challenge remains: What is the longest theoretical name--consisting of names of actual people or characters--with no repeated letters? Here are some new discoveries which go beyond previous efforts. Sure, Google makes it easier to find some strange stuff but that's not my fault--I just report the news.
To rein in the chaos, we order our search by the number of words in the name. First, it is natural to seek the longest heterogrammic first and last names. As it happens, both may be satisfied by BARTLOMIEJCZYK (14), a Polish diminutive form of Bartholomew, which surpasses all previously noted names. If 1920's artist Edmund had adopted a Vietnamese son, PHUNG BARTLOMIEJCZYK (19) might have had some explaining to do at homeroom roll call, but he would have exceeded our 18-letter benchmark. Considering people named after fictional characters, Beulah's boy JUGHEAD TROMPCZYNSKI (19) would tie the mark. (In the Archie comics his real name was the far less interesting Jones). But to find our record holder we return to our favorite family. Turns out they have a Dickens fetish. Named after the Nicholas Nickleby character Dingleby Dabber, young DINGLEBY SCHWARTZKOPF (20), tops our list--for now. No doubt computer searches of name databases could improve on this.
We can also look for a real person whose first and last names are each heterograms on their own. In this case, the longest minimum name would be of interest. Again Polish obliges--painter FRANTISZEK SMUGLJEWICZ (10,11) has at least 10 letters in each heterogrammic name.
Including middle names is again a family affair. Melvin's actual son, who passed on in September 2003, was named Gerald Melvin Schwarzkopf. If his daughter had been named JUDY MELVIN SCHWARZKOPF (21) she would have surpassed EMILY JUNG. We can climb this ladder of theoretical names step by step--first we add back the T for a total of 22. Next we note the Belgian surname VLEMING, which would allow the very plausible JUDY VLEMING SCHWARTZKOPF (23). But also possible is the alternate spelling VLEMINX (often, but not always, spelled with a CK before the X). In concert with the (very real) adult film star Judgy Saville, we can now form the (very theoretical) JUDGY VLEMINX SCHWARTZKOPF (24) which tops our list --again, only for now. And there it lies, in all its glory. One theoretical person, three actual names, 24 letters.
Records for real, famous, and fictional 3-word names are left as open questions for the reader.
Of course, as with previous concoctions, one could go further allowing titles, middle initials, generational markers, etc. These quickly test the limits of contrivance. Allowing only one of each to maintain at least some plausibility, in ten generations we might see the honorable JUDGE VIMBLY Q. SCHWARTZKOPF, X (25) named after Punjabi journalist Vimbly Sumbly. Or someday the football-playing QB JUDGY VLEMINX SCHWARTZKOPF (26). No point in considering these as 'records'--in this family, there's no need to repeat yourself.
Summary of Current Known Records, names with no repeated letters:
longest first name or last name, real or fictional: BARTLOMIEJCZYK (14)
longest full name (first+last), real person: DEBORAH GLUPCZYNSKI (18)
longest full name (first+last), famous person (nickname allowed): BUCKY SHOWALTER (14)
longest full name (first+last), famous person (no nickname): MICHAEL TYSON (12)
longest full name (first+last), fictional character: PINKY TUSCADERO (14)
longest minimum name (first, last--each heterograms), real person: FRANTISZEK SMUGLJEWICZ (10,11)
longest theoretical name (first+last), both real: PHUNG BARTLOMIEJCZYK (19)
longest theoretical name (first+last), real or fictional: DINGLEBY SCHWARTZKOPF (20)
longest full name (first+middle+last), real, famous, fictional: ?,?,?
longest theoretical name (first+middle+last), plausible: JUDY VLEMING SCHWARTZKOPF (23)

AIRE presently comprises on the European side alone, 18 projects involving 40 airline, airport, air navigation service provider and industry partners. Seven of the 18 project focus directly on complete green flights (i.e. gate-to-gate, instead of on a particular phase of flight), among others between France and the French West Indies. One highlight of the programme will be a series of green transatlantic flights with the Airbus A380, the world's largest airliner. In 2009, the European AIRE projects already conducted more than 1,000 flight trials in real conditions with 18 partners. As a result, many of the tested green procedures have already been implemented into 'day-to-day operations'.
For the Commission, the air transport sustainable development strategy is based on a consistent three-pillared approach:
- Modernise the air traffic management system, by means of SESAR or more generally the Single European Sky and environmental initiatives such as AIRE;
- Reduce the environmental performance of aircraft, through programmes such as Clean Sky or studies on the use of biofuels;
- Economic mechanisms for trading emission rights, provide incentives for greener operations.
AIRE is the first large-scale environmental initiative bringing together aviation players from both sides of the Atlantic.

"Leave it to Peter Heller to imagine a postapocalyptic world that contains as much loveliness as it does devastation. His hero, Hig, flies a 1956 Cessna (his dog as copilot) around what was once Colorado, chasing all the same things we chase in these pre-annihilation days: love, friendship, the solace of the natural world, and the chance to perform some small kindness. The Dog Stars is a wholly compelling and deeply engaging debut." —Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted
A riveting, powerful novel about a pilot living in a world filled with loss—and what he is willing to risk to rediscover, against all odds, connection, love, and grace.
Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life—something like his old life—exists beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return—not enough fuel to get him home—following the trail of the static-broken voice on the radio. But what he encounters and what he must face—in the people he meets, and in himself—is both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for.
Narrated by a man who is part warrior and part dreamer, a hunter with a great shot and a heart that refuses to harden, The Dog Stars is both savagely funny and achingly sad, a breathtaking story about what it means to be human.
"What separates Heller's book from other End of Days stories is that it doesn't rely on the thematic fail-safes to tell the story—The Dog Stars is quite simply the story of what it's like to be alone. What it feels like to not know more than one or two other people for a decade. What it's like to love those people while fearing them, all the time knowing that survival sometimes means you have to shoot first." —Melody Datz, The Stranger
"Heller crafts a richly emotional perspective on how humans choose to respond when confronted with calamity. . . . [T]here's a singular voice at work here in Hig's halting first-person narration that turns his mind into a battleground between two choices of handling apocalypse: self-preserving fear, or risky humanity. At times funny, at times thrilling, at times simply heartbreaking and always rich with a love of nature, The Dog Stars finds a peculiar poetry in deciding that there's really no such thing as the end of the world—just a series of decisions about how we live in whatever world we've got." —Scott Renshaw, Salt Lake City Weekly
"The Dog Stars by Peter Heller is a heavenly book, a stellar achievement by a debut novelist that manages to combine sparkling prose with truly memorable, shining, characters. It contains constellations of grand images and ideas, gleams with vitality, and sparkles with wit. And for a story of this ilk, it is also—a rarity—radiant with hope. Despite the many terrible events threatening to engulf our heroes, The Dog Stars never falls into the black hole of hopelessness common in many post-apocalyptic fictions. . . . Luminous with bright ideas . . . The Dog Stars is the story of Hig's conversation with his faith, with his humanity, with his former life. By turns moving, articulate and, exciting, it is also one of those stories that remains with the reader long after the book is closed. It contains all of the lyricism of Cormac McCarthy at his best—Hig fights for 'things that have no use anymore except as a bulwark against oblivion. Against the darkness of total loss.' And he reaches for the stars. For the constellations of his memory. He looks up and not down." —A. J. Kirby, New York Journal of Books
"With its soulful hero, macabre villains, tender love story and action scenes staggered at perfectly spaced intervals, [The Dog Stars] unfolds with the vigor of the film it will undoubtedly become. But it also succeeds as a dark, poetic and funny novel in its own right. . . . That [Hig's] story is not in the end depressing may be the most disturbing part of this novel. In fact, at times, the destruction of civilization seems to have given Hig the chance to live more richly in the present, to feel grace more acutely, to sleep outdoors and gaze up at the stars in his purged, rejuvenated universe. It is frightening to face up to the apocalypse. It's perhaps even more frightening when we get past that and start seeing its upside." —Jennifer Reese, NPR
"A stunning, hope-riddled end-of-the-world story . . . bound to become a classic." —Emily Temple, Flavorwire
"The Dog Stars is a post-apocalyptic adventure novel with the soul of haiku. . . . Heller is a well-known adventure writer, and his knowledge of and sensitivity to nature and outdoor pursuits come through here with precision and power. . . . A novel that gets under the skin of what it means to survive unbearable loss." —Margaret Quamme, The Columbus Dispatch
"A heart-wrenching and richly written story about loss and survival—and, more important, about learning to love again. . . . The Dog Stars is a love story, but not just in the typical sense. It's an ode to friendship between two men, a story of the strong bond between a human and a dog, and a reminder of what is worth living for."—Michele Filgate, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"By putting us in the worst of all possible times, literature can allow us to experience the best side of humankind, where instead of giving up, we struggle desperately in the ruins for love, connection and hope. And that brings us to Peter Heller's ravishing doomsday novel, The Dog Stars. . . . An indelible core of kindness beats like a heart within [Hig]. . . . The supreme pleasure of this book is the lovely writing. Hig talks to himself, and to us, in a kind of syncopated rhythm that's as intimate as a conversation, with pauses and clipped words. . . . In the midst of all the devastation, Heller shows us the stunning beauty of the natural world. . . . The pages of The Dog Stars are damp with grief for what is lost and can never be recovered. But there are moments of unexpected happiness, of real human interaction, infused with love and hope, like the twinkling of a star we might wish upon, which makes this end-of-the-world novel more like a rapturous beginning. . . . Remarkable."—Caroline Leavitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Magical and life-affirming." —Eric Brown, The Guardian
"Terrific . . . With echoes of Moby Dick, The Dog Stars . . . brings Melville's broad, contemplative exploration of good and evil to his story; he tells it in the spare, often disjunctive, language of Beckett. Heller's vision, however, is not as dark as that of his literary antecedents. . . . With startling lyricism, Heller's accomplished first novel rises above the inherent darkness of a world stripped bare by disease, climate change and violence" —Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness
"Alternates between elegiac reflection, lyrical nature writing, and intense, high-caliber action." —NPR
"The critically acclaimed book of the summer." —Philadelphia Magazine
"The Dog Stars is a compelling debut from author Peter Heller, which decisively strikes at the ever-arching desire to know what makes us human. . . . Gruff, tormented and inspirational, Heller has the astonishing ability to make you laugh, cringe and feel ridiculously vulnerable throughout the novel that will have you rereading certain passages with a hard lump in the pit of your stomach. One of the most powerful reads in years." —Playboy
"After an award-winning career as an adventure writer and NPR contributor, Heller has written a stunning debut novel. In spare, poetic prose, he portrays a soaring spirit of hope that triumphs over heartbreak, trauma, and insurmountable struggles. A timely must-read." —Library Journal (starred)
"Richly evocative yet streamlined journal entries propel the high-stakes plot while simultaneously illuminating Hig's nuanced states of mind as isolation and constant vigilance exact their toll, along with his sorrow for the dying world . . . Heller's surprising and irresistible blend of suspense, romance, social insight, and humor creates a cunning form of cognitive dissonance neatly pegged by Hig as an 'apocalyptic parody of Norman Rockwell'—a novel, that is, of spiky pleasure and signal resonance." —Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred)
"In the tradition of postapocalyptic literary fiction such as Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Jim Crace's The Pesthouse, this hypervisceral first novel by adventure writer Heller (Kook) takes place nine years after a superflu has killed off much of mankind. . . . With its evocative descriptions of hunting, fishing, and flying, this novel, perhaps the world's most poetic survival guide, reads as if Billy Collins had novelized one of George Romero's zombie flicks. From start to finish, Heller carries the reader aloft on graceful prose, intense action, and deeply felt emotion." —Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Leave it to Peter Heller to imagine a post-apocalyptic world that contains as much loveliness as it does devastation. His likable hero, Hig, flies around what was once Colorado in his 1956 Cessna, chasing all the same things we chase in these pre-annihilation days: love, friendship, the solace of the natural world, the chance to perform some small kindness, and a good dog for a co-pilot. The Dog Stars is a wholly compelling and deeply engaging debut." —Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted
"Take the sensibility of Hemingway. Or James Dickey. Place it in a world where a flu mutation has wiped out ninety-nine percent of the population. Add in a heartbroken man with a fishing rod, some guns, a small plane. Don't forget the dog. Now imagine this man retains more hope than might be wise in such a battered and brutal time. More trust. More hunger for love—more capacity for it, too. That's what Peter Heller has given us in his beautifully written first novel. The Dog Stars is a gripping tale of one man's fight for survival against impossibly long odds. A man who has lost nearly everything but his soul. And what's so moving about Heller's book is that he shows us how sometimes a big soul is the only thing a man needs: the keystone, the center pillar, the hunk of masonry upon which all else will rise or fall." —Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
"Heller is a masterful storyteller and The Dog Stars is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of nature and the relentless human drive to find meaning and deep connections with life and the living. In this chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic setting, readers will root for Heller's characters and be moved by their toughness as well as their tenderness." —Julianna Baggott, author of Pure
"The Dog Stars is a giant of a novel that goes about its profound business with what looks alarmingly like ease. For all those who thought Cormac McCarthy's The Road the last word on the post-apocalyptic world—think again. Peter Heller has dark and glittering news from the future, and delivers it in prose that stops you like a wolf in the snow. Make time and space for this savage, tender, brilliant book." —Glen Duncan, author of The Last Werewolf and Talulla Rising

LOS ANGELES – It was a move Kobe Bryant had made a million times in his 17-year career, a simple move to the basket.
Unlike all those previous times, though, Bryant crumpled to the ground. He grabbed his left leg, knowing the pain in his calf was troubling.
Click here to view video of reaction to Kobe injury.
Bryant suffered a probable torn Achilles' late in Friday's game against Golden State, putting an end to his season.
"I was (mad) and sad," Bryant said, propped against the wall in the locker room, crutches under his arms. "I worked really hard to get to this point. I was (mad)."
Bryant is scheduled to have an MRI today to determine the extent of the injury. Bryant said he no doubt will have surgery followed by a long recovery period.
"It's terrible, a terrible feeling," he said. "I felt like I got kicked."
Bryant said he tried to walk off the injury before shooting free throws, but "there was nothing there ... no Achilles'."
Bryant said of all the injuries he has suffered in his career, this one hurts the most.
The Lakers are fighting for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, staying a full game ahead of Utah in the standings.
The Lakers have two games remaining – Sunday against San Antonio and Houston on Tuesday.
"They need to continue to play," Bryant said of his team's chances of extending its season without him.
"We've had injuries all year. But I will do what I can, watch film, prepare and communicate to the guys the best plan of attach against these teams and go from there," he continued.
Over the years, the Lakers have come to rely on Bryant to pull them out of jams and fourth-quarter deficits, a point driven home in the previous five games.
Bryant had played roughly 45 minutes a game and scored an average of 29.8 points during that stretch.

While Australian children prefer watching content made specifically for them, local children's programs have become increasingly difficult to finance, according to a new report by Screen Australia, the Federal Government's support agency for Australian film, television, documentary and digital-media makers.
The report, Child's Play: Issues in Australian Children's Television 2013, says producing Australian children's content has become more expensive due to a narrower audience and a limited ability to generate advertising revenue because of restrictions on advertising during programs for children.
However, the report also shows children have a clear preference for programs tailored to their age group, value Australian content, and are more highly engaged by drama programs than other genres.
"This research clearly demonstrates there's an appetite for quality children's television content," says Screen Australia CEO Ruth Harley. "Programs made specifically for children are different from material produced for a family audience because they deal with stories and issues of interest to kids in appropriate ways. The delivery of quality children's programming is essential to the cultural well-being of young Australians."

Anorectal melanoma with a KIT-activating mutation, which is a target for tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Summary of "Anorectal melanoma with a KIT-activating mutation, which is a target for tyrosine kinase inhibitor."
Recent advances in our understanding of the genetic mutations associated with melanoma have led to the classification of distinct melanoma subtypes. A number of reports have consistently demonstrated that mucosal and acral melanomas more commonly harbor KIT-activating mutations than do other subtypes. Success in treating gastrointestinal stromal tumors with imatinib has led to speculation that KIT-mutated melanoma might also be effectively managed using this approach. A 78-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of rectal bleeding. A colonoscopy revealed a black polypoid mass, 30 mm in diameter, originating near the dentate line, and a biopsy revealed malignant melanoma. Computed tomography showed multiple liver and lung metastases. A KIT mutation analysis showed the L576P mutation in exon 11. The patient did not want to undergo chemotherapy including a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, so palliative radiotherapy for rectal symptoms was performed, but the patient died 4 months later due to disease progression. We describe the first case of anorectal melanoma with a KIT-activating mutation in Japan and summarize findings from the literature regarding the efficacy of KIT kinase inhibitors on this melanoma subtype.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Melanoma, Amelanotic
An unpigmented malignant melanoma. It is an anaplastic melanoma consisting of cells derived from melanoblasts but not forming melanin. (Dorland, 27th ed; Stedman, 25th ed)
P120 Gtpase Activating Protein
A 120-kDa RAS GTPase-activating protein that binds to tyrosine phosphoproteins through its SH2 domains. The 100-kDa RNA-splicing variant (p100 GAP protein) is expressed in placenta.
Melanoma, Experimental
Experimentally induced tumor that produces MELANIN in animals to provide a model for studying human MELANOMA.
Hutchinson's Melanotic Freckle
A cellular subtype of malignant melanoma. It is a pigmented lesion composed of melanocytes occurring on sun-exposed skin, usually the face and neck. The melanocytes are commonly multinucleated with a "starburst" appearance. It is considered by many to be the in situ phase of lentigo maligna melanoma.
Found in large amounts in the plasma and urine of patients with malignant melanoma. It is therefore used in the diagnosis of melanoma and for the detection of postoperative metastases. Cysteinyldopa is believed to be formed by the rapid enzymatic hydrolysis of 5-S-glutathionedopa found in melanin-producing cells.

Blush 101
by Teen Vogue
Some of you lovely girls have asked about the proper way to apply blush. Uh, I was curious myself, so I turned to makeup artist Jenna Menard. Here, her amazing tips: "Whether it's a soft peach or a bright sheer pink, blush adds so much to the faceif it's done correctly! The key is not overdoing it. On some of my clients, it's always nice to be able to achieve that healthy look without the blush jumping outit should never be the focus of your look. You don't want people to know you are wearing blush... you want it to add to the overall effect of your entire makeup look!
Here's the breakdown.
You can change the placement of blush for a few different looks
- place it on the apples (it's the general area of your cheek that pops ou when you smile) to give more of the rosy 'look how cute I am' kind of feel.
-warm tone all over to give a general bronzing/warming effect (believable when its around the cheek area, temples and dusted on the forehead) for the 'I don't look like I wear blush I just have a healthy tone'
-on the apples and also slightly downward to give the 'just came in from a cold winter day' look
Choosing the color and formula is also something to consider when dealing with blush application. A few of my favorite blushes: MAC Sheer Tone Blush-Pink Swoon, Bare Minerals Blush in Fruit Cocktail and Thistle, Armani sheer powder-#4, Benefit Dallas, Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick in S4."

The Puglia region
Thanks to the position of "Casa del Sole" in the fresh and beautiful Ostuni hills it is also particularly easy to reach other fascinating little nearby towns such as Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Alberobello.
The Adriatic Sea coast and the super beaches of Torre Pozzelle, Santa Lucia or the dunes area around Pilone (recently designated as a protected Natural Park) are about 9miles away.
If you enjoy walking, the wonderful WWF oasis of Torre Guaceto - 15miles (25kms) is an ideal destination where you can also enjoy incredible white beaches.

"I am projecting, based upon my analysis of current trends, that Schenectady County's drug costs for 2009 once again will not increase. I estimate that our annual savings for 2009 will reach $3,460,250, and that our cumulative five-year savings will be $9,282,309," said Schenectady County Legislator Philip Fields, D-Schenectady.
According to numbers provided by Gardner, the county has been steadily saving money with this program since its inception in 2005. The first year the program was in place, the county saved $586,182, the next year it saved the County $978,882, and so on. The total cumulative savings for Schenectady Meds thus far is $5,882,059.
"I take pride in the fact that I sponsored the legislation enacting Schenectady Meds with its innovative use of Canadian and U.S. mail order pharmaceuticals," said Fields. "Schenectady County was the first municipality in the state to utilize the Canadian option, and it is saving taxpayers more money each year. Our 2008 annual savings of over $2.5 million translates into a 4 percent reduction in the property tax rate."

Nextbook, JDub Announce Partnership
JDub to aid Tablet Magazine parent with marketing
Nextbook Inc., the non-profit umbrella organization responsible for Tablet Magazine and Nextbook Press, today announced a strategic partnership with Jdub. JDub will create and manage marketing and communication strategies and public programs to expand the impact of Tablet Magazine and the offerings from Nextbook Press.
"JDub knows the audience for creative Jewish products and how to deliver to them," says Alana Newhouse, the creative director of Nextbook and editor-in-chief of Tablet. "In the past year we co-presented a handful of events together that attracted a truly vibrant, new audience. Their track record speaks for itself."
"We are constantly seeking partnership and collaboration with like-minded organizations," adds Aaron Bisman, JDub's chief executive officer. "Like JDub's music and events, Nextbook Inc. creates content and experiences without barriers to entry where people can find their community and interact with it on their own terms. We are very excited to work with these great and growing Jewish brands."
On January 27th, Nextbook Press will present readings from David Lehman's new book A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs alongside a unique musical performance by Hal Willner featuring Rufus Wainwright, Bill Frisell, and Van Dyke Parks at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Tablet is committed to bringing you the best, smartest, most enlightening and entertaining reporting and writing on Jewish life, all free of charge. We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the Internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, allowing vocal—and, often, anonymous—minorities to drag it down with invective (and worse). Starting today, then, we are asking people who'd like to post comments on the site to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.
Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at email@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.

He has been a lightning rod, to put it mildly, during his six years on the Washougal City Council. But as Jon Russell, one of Clark County's most divisive governmental figures, prepares to step down, it remains unclear what his departure will mean for the city's government.
Russell, the council's mayor pro-tem, clashed frequently with Washougal Mayor Sean Guard, brought national causes to the city government and backed conservative challengers against veteran council members in the 2011 elections. He did each unapologetically, often to the derision of other city leaders.
Russell, 36, announced last week his plans to resign from the council at the beginning of July to accept a national coordinator position with Students for Life of America, an anti-abortion nonprofit based in Manassas, Va. Russell currently serves as the organization's regional coordinator.
Russell's last council meeting will be Monday, June 25. The council will later appoint a city resident to fill Russell's spot and select a council member as the new mayor pro-tem.
Whether Russell's departure could be the "turning point" that Guard had hoped last year's elections would be remains unclear. Prior to the elections, Guard said he had hoped voters would elect candidates who would bring the city's council back to the political center rather than farther right.
"A lot of this weighs on who steps into the role next," said Mark Stephan, a political science professor with Washington State University Vancouver.
"In a sense, it becomes less about (Russell) and more about who replaces him."
Guard did not return a phone call seeking comment for this story.
Fiscally conservative
In an email to The Columbian last week, Russell listed his most important accomplishment on the council as "recruiting and training fiscally conservative candidates to run for City Council and winning in 2011."
Russell endorsed Connie Jo Freeman last fall in her successful challenge against council veteran Molly Coston. He also publicly supported newcomer Caryn Plinski and incumbent Jennifer McDaniel — each of whom won their elections. He supported a fourth candidate, Michael Delavar, who lost his re-election campaign.
McDaniel said she enjoyed working with Russell for four productive years. However, she questioned how much credit Russell should take for how the elections turned out. The winning candidates earned their seats, she reasoned.
"He has always been strongly leaning toward more conservative ideals," McDaniel said of Russell. "That has pushed some people the wrong way."
Among those people Russell rubbed the wrong way was Coston.
"I will be glad to see him go," the former councilwoman said. "I wish the best for him and his family but he's caused nothing but heartache in Washougal."
Neither Freeman nor Plinski responded to interview requests.
Separate branches
Russell had no qualms about going toe-to-toe with Guard, he said, because the role of the council was do the will of voters, not the city's executive branch.
"Hopefully, if I brought anything to the council it was to make the council aware we were our own branch of government," Russell said. "We were not a mouthpiece for the executive branch."
Yet, Councilman Paul Greenlee wondered if Russell's politics sometimes led him to take on issues outside the normal scope of the council that did nothing for Washougal residents. Examples include discussions about immigration or e-verify, an Internet database to determine the eligibility of workers in the U.S.
"Council members should be trustees for the future of the city," Greenlee said. He added, "The only place it gets contentious (with the council) is really over issues more national or statewide than citywide."
Russell took pride in his immigration stance. He listed the council's resolution asking state representatives to pass tougher immigration laws among his list of most important achievements behind the city's first reduction in property taxes, the deregulation of zoning restrictions for houses to convert to businesses in residential areas, and reducing fines associated with the Trip Reduction Program.
'Focused on Washougal'
Predicting the council's post-Russell path is difficult, council members said.
The first reason is the new council has not handled any contentious financial matters yet. The second is interviews to fill Russell's position won't be conducted for more than a month.
Russell expressed confidence in the council's ability to serve the city of Washougal. Freeman and Plinski, whom he supported during last year's elections, will be fine without him, he said.
"They've had about six months to get their feet wet," he said, adding they would learn a lot from attending the Association of Washington Cities' annual conference next month.
Greenlee's wish for Russell's replacement was that he or she abstain from partisan politics on the council.
"When they come into city hall, they need to be focused on Washougal, not on some agenda," Greenlee said.

By that time you are home at the cave cooking squirrel.
Plus a 22 lr would be my primary small game gun and those don't carry far at all.
Say if someone had 10,000 rounds.
That and a good discipline could at around 50% accuracy could feed you for 15 years.
If i were serious I would do the math and plan for ten times that.

Wallenda walks tightrope high over Ariz. gorge
LITTLE COLORADO RIVER GORGE, Ariz. Nik Wallenda studied the plunging walls of the Little Colorado River Gorge before stepping out on a quarter-mile tightrope cable. "Whoo! That's an amazing view."
With that observation, the well-known aerialist embarked Sunday afternoon on a walk without a safety net or harness, 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona.
The successful, 22-minute walk on the 2-inch-thick steel cable was monitored by people around the world via television and computer screens during a broadcast of Wallenda's most ambitious stunt yet.
They watched as the winds tested the Florida daredevil, and listened as he called on God to calm the swaying cable and as he paid homage to his famed great-grandfather. The stunt was the leading trending topic on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.
"It was unbelievable," he told reporters later. "It was everything I wanted it to be. It was extremely emotional. I got to the other end and started crying."
Hundreds of people watched from the remote site on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona that led them past roadside vendors selling traditional jewelry and about a dozen protesters who consider the area sacred.
During his walk above the dry river bed near the Grand Canyon, Wallenda paused and crouched twice as winds whipped around him and the rope swayed. Gusts had been expected to be around 30 mph. He said they sent dust flying into his eyes.
"It was strenuous the whole way across. It was a battle. The winds were strong, they were gusty," he told reporters. "But there was never a point where I thought, `oh my gosh, I'm going to fall.'"
Wallenda stepped slowly and steady throughout, murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He jogged and hopped the last few steps.
"Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God," he said about 13 minutes into the walk.
The Discovery Channel broadcast the event live. He wore a microphone and two cameras, one that looked down on the river bed and one that faced straight ahead.
The 34-year-old Sarasota, Fla., resident is a seventh-generation high-wire artist and is part of the famous "Flying Wallendas" circus family - a clan that is no stranger to death-defying feats.
His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire walking stunts.
Nik Wallenda grew up performing with his family and dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teenager. Sunday's stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record.
Despite those successes, his next goal is in question. New York's police commissioner said Monday that Wallenda's hope of tightrope walking between the famous Chrysler and Empire State buildings was too dangerous. "I would say no," Raymond Kelly said when asked about the possibility.
At the Grand Canyon, about 600 spectators watching on a large video screen on site cheered him on as he walked toward them. A Navajo Nation ranger, a paramedic and two members of a film crew were stationed on the canyon floor.
