Napkin as Reality
My latest hack is a "Napkin" Look and Feel for Swing. I'm up to alpha 4 with it -- it still does some very weird things. The Swing LAF lets many things happen, but it is far from simple to figure out, and farther from easy to flex. But most things can be done.
The idea is this: There's somehing about a GUI mock up that makes managers go all glassy-eyed. When you mock up the GUI, which you will usually do early in the project, it looks done. It doesn't matter how carefully and often you say that this is just a mock up and neither it nor the stuff behind it is done. Some very deep, primal part of the manager's brain has seen it so it must be done. The real world sort of works that way, or at least it can seem to.
So a few months later, your manager and marketing folks are wondering what the hell you've been doing since you're already done.
(Joel Spolsky, of Joel on Software fame, has an article about this. He calls it the "iceberg secret", but I think it's more the other way 'round, but whatever the terminology it's a very nice article).
When I read this, it seemed to me that one fundamental problem here is that the emotional message and reality are out of sync. Any mocked up interface looks pretty professional and neat and clean and, well, real. That's because the buttons are real and look just like real buttons attached to real things. What was needed was a way to make the emotional content of the presentation match reality -- the thing is just a sketch of what will be done.
Hence the Napkin L&F. The idea is to have a L&F where things look like they've been scrawled on a napkin. Once you get part of the thing done (and by "done" I mean "done all the way through the implementation, not just the GUi part), you can set the L&F of that part to the normal one you will use, but the rest will still look conditional which it is. It should tickle that lizard part of the manager's brain the right way, or a righter way anyhow.
It's an interesting experiment, and it's been fun playing with it. There's lots to do (anyone want to volunteer?) but you can get a serious look at the idea. The web page has a webstart launch, too.

Cllr Walsh launches her election campaign
Published 01/04/2014 | 05:24
CLLR Kathy Walsh was surrounded by family and friends recently as she held the official launch of her local election campaign in the Tara Arms.
A daughter of Larry and Mary Walsh from Hillbrook Estate in Tullow, Kathy is the eldest of four and is herself a proud parent to daughter Emma who is a full time nurse based in London.
Currently living in Court View, Tullow, Kathy runs her own business Letting and Management Solutions in Carlow town, servicing Carlow, Tullow and surrounding areas.
Kathy was delighted with the turnout on the night following a busy day meeting the public in Tullow and Carlow with Simon Harris TD and European Candidate for Southern Ireland. Among those to speak were Mr Harris and Carlow TD Pat Deering who gave glowing endorsements of Kathy and her work ethic.
Speaking on why she wants to be elected, Kathy said: 'I bring youth and enthusiasm, a listening ear and voice with a commitment for the people.
'With a new municipal council, it is more important now than ever to ensure that Tullow has a strong representation.'

Warm sun on my skin, chocolate, football, working out, breakfast, red wine, the soft sound of the ocean waves, lacrosse, piggy back rides, curled up in your arms in front of the fireplace. Eagles, Flyers, golf, tennis and all things sports; travel ; just a few of my favorite things. My date ? chivalry is second nature to him. While I have my own career and am independent and capable, I love when a man opens a door or picks me up into his arms or sends flowers or leaves little notes just because. He loves to be active and athletic but can enjoy a quiet day at home in jeans and tee or dress up and go out on occasion and wear a suit well if needed. (yes the one with the tie), but the birthday suit should be something you are proud of and keep it in good shape. My extended family is important to me as we all travel well, have a great sense of humor and enjoy all that is family, tradition and values. ITALIAN girl despite the Swedish look! Spaghetti Sunday is a tradition. If you play an instrument I love to listen to your music. Clean shaven is my preference and a nice cologne will melt me every time. A fit body is the physical attraction that draws me to you, sexy is the playful personality that keeps me there. I have 2 beautiful , intelligent children who are off to college now so plenty of free time for me to learn new hobbies ( tennis, golf, personal training, what you like!).

27 year old woman | Oak Brook, IL, USA | Seeking men 23-33 within 50 miles
Christian Lady
Why hello there my name is Nora. I like to be different and always look for the good in others. I have my undergrad is Social Work, so you can imagine how much I have a heart for others. I attempt to love others as Christ loved us although I often fail miserably. My personality type is an INFP (introversion, intuition, feeling, perception). I am curious to understand those around me (while setting my boundaries), and accepting and flexible unless my values are threatened. I love laughing and acting silly with my family. I like traveling and going mission trips (been to about 6 countries plus my future destinations). I love learning about different cultures, while spending quality time with the natives. My hobbies include: jogging in the summer, dancing (I'm learning the rumba), volunteering with middle school, going to festivals, plays/ musicals, cooking, the movies (when I was in a kid my grandma & I went to the movies every week), horseback riding, scrap booking, watching my French bulldogs play (it's a snort fest haha, if you don't know what that means please ask), shopping, and being pampered (hair, nails, and massages). I enjoy watching all sports but I'm not obsessed. I'm focused on grad school in pursue of my MBA and Masters in Social Work. I am also focused on forming sustaining Christ-centered friendships. I'm really good at being Intuitive. Being positive and encouraging to the ones I love, no matter what others think. I am a full believer that it takes that one person to REALLY believe in someone for that someone to accomplish whatever he or she seek. I spend a lot of time thinking what's pleasing to God, what I'm doing and going to do to please Him, and God's will is for me. School is always on my mind since I'm in grad school. Also where I'm going to travel next... I'm looking for a confident man in God. If you're interested in getting to know me more and potentially allow me to be that lady to support, respect, and encourage you (and do the same for me). :-)

text: I have a Hyundai i10 magna next generation. I had started learning how to drive from 4 months. I mainly drive on Highways. I need to know how to drive or you can say driving style. I will tell you how do I drive. When I drive my car I drive it solely and if by any chance I am on good speed I try and come sown my speed. But while slowing down I use clutch and leave the accelerator. But I think even if I leave the accelerator and if I don�t use clutch then also it slows down. So I wanted to know how to slow down the speed. By which I can save fuel and keep good engine.

No timetable set for LA Galaxy forward Bradford Jamieson IV's return after suffering concussion with U.S. U-20's
CARSON, Calif. – Bradford Jamieson IV is back in the fold with the LA Galaxy after a successful stint with the U.S. U-20's at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but the youngster has yet to return to the field.
Jamieson scored a goal and made four appearances at the U-20 World Cup during the group stage but saw his participation in the tournament end due to a violent head injury in the early stages of the U.S.' 1-0 win over Colombia in the Round of 16. Jamieson's injury left him unavailable for the U.S.' penalty kick defeat to Serbia in the quarterfinals.
On Tuesday, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena confirmed that 18-year-old suffered a concussion against Colombia, and is currently under evaluation by the club's medical staff in adherence with the league's concussion protocol.
"I don't know when he's going to be back training," Arena said. "He's here though, he was [at the stadium] today."
The LA Galaxy may finally be adding another attacking midfielder to their arsenal.
Goal.com's Ives Galarcep reported on Wednesday morning that the former U.S. youth international Sebastian Lletget will be signing with the Galaxy on a free transfer from English club West Ham. To sign Lletget, Galarcep reports that the Galaxy will need to send allocation money to the New England Revolution who placed a discovery claim on the 22-year-old mifielder.
A native of San Francisco, California, Lletget spent the last five years with the Hammers but was unable to make an English Premier League appearance for the club. Lletget's lone first team showing came in the 2014 FA Cup competition. Although Lletget did not feature much for West Ham, the midfielder boasts U.S. youth international experience at the U-17, U-20 and U-23 levels.
A central midfielder who can also play out wide, Lletget's reported signing could bring depth to a Galaxy attack that has dealt with injuries to Robbie Keane and Jose Villarreal in recent weeks.
U.S. Women's National Team head coach Jill Ellis announced her 23 player roster for the upcoming 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada, and players from California will make up the backbone of the squad's effort for a third World Cup title.
Six of the 23 players named to Ellis' squad for the World Cup are California natives which is the most of any state. Among the five Southern Californians on the squad are regular contributors Alex Morgan (Diamond Bar, Calif.), Christen Press (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) and Shannon Boxx (Redondo Beach, Calif.).
The complete roster is below with the Californians noted in bold.
LA Galaxy Notes: Bradford Jamieson IV starts in U.S. Under-20 loss; Academy sides pick up mixed results in Texas
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson IV earned a start as the U.S. U-20's were defeated 2-1 by the England U-20's in Plymouth on Sunday morning.
Neither side threatened early on but as the match wore on, the Americans began to find their footing against the English side. Jamieson nearly helped the Americans pull ahead in the 43rd minute when he won a foul that set up a dangerous free kick for Rubio Rubin who just missed a chance to give the U.S. the lead.
Tab Ramos' side was punished for failed to finish their chances just before half as John Swift gave the English the lead. Kwame Thomas doubled the Three Lions' advantage in the 68th minute with Swift assisting on the goal. The Americans pulled one back in the 74th minute with a goal from Maki Tall, but were ultimately unable to complete their comeback.
The U.S. U-20's will convene next month for an Austria-based training camp that will feature friendlies against Qatar and Croatia.
The LA Galaxy Under-18's were defeated 3-0 by Japanese club Ryutsu-Keizai in their first match in the Gordon Jago Super Group at Dallas Cup on Sunday. LA's U-18's will continue their participation in the tournament on Monday with a match against the Everton Academy.
Andrew Perez scored as the LA Galaxy U-16's picked up a 1-0 victory over Mexican side Tigres UNAL in their first match at the Generation adidas Cup.
LA Galaxy II forward Ariel Lassiter starts for U.S. U-23's in win over Bosnia and Herzegovina U-23's
LA Galaxy II forward Ariel Lassiter started in midfield for the U.S. Under-23's during their 3-2 victory over the Bosnia & Herzegovina U-23's.
Jordan Morris, former Galaxy Academy player Mario Rodriguez, Benji Joya, Alonso Hernandez, and Fatai Ashe scored for the Americans in the rout. Lassiter played a 61 minutes agaisnt the Europeans while Galaxy defender Oscar Sorto did not feature in the game.
The U.S. U-23's will play the final match of their European training camp next week when they take on the Denmark U-23's next Tuesday at Lyngby Stadion in Copenhagen.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy host the Houston Dynamo this Saturday in their third match of the 2015 MLS regular season.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, we take a look at the club's recent struggles against the Dynamo.
Check it out below.
The LA Galaxy Academy may have two players in this fall's U-17 FIFA World Cup as the United States' Hugo Arellano and Mexico's Abraham Romero helped their respective teams qualify over the weekend.
Arellano and the Americans booked their ticket on Sunday with a thrilling penalty kick shootout victory over Jamaica after their playoff game ended in a scoreless stalemate. Arellano was joined on the squad by U-17 star Haji Wright who has spent time with the Galaxy Academy over the past year. Meanwhile Romero, who has suited up for the U.S. and Mexico, served as El Tri's goalkeeper throughout the competition and helped Mexico win their second consecutive U-17 CONCACAF Championship
The 2015 U-17 World Cup takes place in Chile from Oct. 17 to Nov. 8.
LA Galaxy Academy product Hugo Arellano scores as U.S. U-17's thrash Cuba at 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano scored as the U.S. U-17's demolished Cuba 5-0 in their Group A opener at the 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship.
Joe Gallardo scored three times while Alejandro Zendejas and Arellano rounded out the scoring for Richie Williams' squad. Midfielders Christian Pulisic and Luca de La Torre each tallied two assists in the Americans' confident victory.
Arellano needed just five minutes to put the U.S. ahead as the U-17 captain smashed a Pulisic corner into the back of the net for the opening goal. In the 40th minute, Pulisic played the distributor again as he found Joe Gallardo from close range for the irst of his three on the evening. Just three minutes later, Zendejas pounced on a failed Cuban defensive clearance and tallied his fourth goal of his U-17 career.
Once the second half began, Gallardo left no doubt of the Americans dominance as he combined with de la Torre twice for goals in the 65th and 88th minutes to seal the win.
The U.S. return to action on Monday when they face Trinidad and Tobago at 3 p.m. PT.
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano included in U.S. Under-17 squad for 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano has been selected for the U.S. Under-17 squad as they look to qualify for this summer's U-17 World Cup in Chile.
Arellano has been a mainstay in Richie Williams' squad and will join the 20-man group as they head to Honduras for the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship. Joining Arellano on the squad is former Galaxy Academy starlet Haji Wright who has been training recently with German club Schalke.
The tournament begins from Feb. 27 through March 15, and will see four teams from two groups qualify for Chile. The Americans open the tournament on Friday against Group A opponents Cuba. They'll be joined in Group A by Jamaica, Guatemala, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Like the U-20 tournament earlier this year, the top team from each group will qualify while the second-and-third place sides will play in a one-game knockout match to determine the rest of CONCACAF's participants.
The complete roster is below.
Goalkeepers: William Pulisic (Richmond United/USA); Kevin Silva (Players Development Academy/USA)
Defenders: Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls/USA); Hugo Arellano (LA Galaxy/USA); Daniel Barbir (West Bromwich Albion FC/ENG); Tanner Dieterich (Real Salt Lake Arizona/USA); John Nelson (Internationals Soccer Club/USA); Matthew Olosunde (New York Red Bulls/USA); Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf/USA)
Midfielders: Eric Calvillo (Real SoCal/USA); Lucas de la Torre (Fulham FC/ENG); Thomas McCabe (Players Development Academy/USA); Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER); Alejandro Zendejas Saavedra (FC Dallas/USA)
Forwards: Pierre da Silva (Orlando City SC/USA); Orrin Gaines II (Lonestar SC/USA); Joe Gallardo Jr (Monterrey/MEX); Joshua Perez (unattached); Brandon Vazquez (Club Tijuana/MEX); Haji Wright (unattached)
Life is a process of continual evolution for LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers both on the field and off.
In my latest piece for LAGalaxy.com, I spoke to Rogers about his attempt to reconnect with U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and the defender's perceptions on his legacy as the first openly gay athlete in a major American professional sport. However not all of my conversation with Rogers made the story.
Below are other excerpts from Rogers discussing his book Coming out to Play and his continued growth as a soccer player and a person.
(On his decision to write his book…)
ROGERS: It was definitely more about – After I came out publicly and had that relation from people which was something that I didn't think would happen in a million years, I realized that I could write a book about my story which so many people can relate to. The biggest difference that I've made is just being on the field and then afterward writing a book and going into detail and exposing a vulnerable part of myself helps as much as being on the field and playing.
(On his transformation as a gay athlete…)
ROGERS: "For me, it was about first whether my teammates respected me and if they did respect me and enjoyed playing with me. Of course, you want to accomplish things on the field. This year, especially, I was never thinking of myself as a gay athlete. That's the big difference between 2013 and 2014, last year I was on the road and I was the only gay guy and I had to deal with that which wasn't because of how I was treated by the team but what I was dealing with. This year, there were so many times where it just wasn't even an issue. I never had to talk about it. This year, I realized that when the book was coming out then but I would just not think about it."
(On how Rogers ultimately hopes that he's remembered when he decides to retire…)
ROGERS: I hope that I have a good enough career and I'm successful enough that people just think about me as a player on the Galaxy who helped win championships and played for good teams. I hope teammates like Landon, Robbie and Omar can remember me as a guy on their team who was a good soccer player and a good person, regardless of me being gay or straight.
(On whether he understands the conceptual change within him…)
ROGERS: I was so introverted and I was so afraid to have close relationships because I was afraid that people would get to know me. I was afraid to be this crazy person on the dance floor. I was so afraid of so many things and this year, it was so completely different and I'm so happy that I'm able to enjoy it. After all, if you can't enjoy winning a championship, what is the point of being a professional soccer player? What's the point of being successful in any career if you can't enjoy the little moments where you have a triumph. I think a lot of people can't enjoy moments because they want to move onto what's next, but I know that in that moment especially after what happened a few years earlier, I just had to cry. I was happy to show that emotion to them as well that they see that he's human.
(On the distinct difference between how he acted as a child and today…)
ROGERS: It's really sad. It's so sad how depressed and how homophobic I was to myself. I was simply isolated and alone, and afraid to share this side to anyone even myself. It's been two years since I came out and it's incredible how different things have been. My family wasn't ready to support same sex marriage but now they can't wait till I get married. It's crazy how things change so quickly. I can't explain that. It's really changed overnight.
(On whether he expected any anger from his stories in the book…)
ROGERS: This is all a learning experience. Everything in the book is the truth but I've just been supported by everyone that I spoke about in the book. I was able to then come out and move back to the states and go through everything that I went to. I heard the most ridiculous things from people who love me so much and I realized that they're not homophobic they say things because their church tells them to or to make people around them laugh or they're supposed to. I learned that people aren't homophobic but have this pack mentality which I was part of when I was younger.
(On dealing with the locker room mentality and the focus that has gotten since his announcement…)
ROGERS: When you live that your life, you've seen in it. Whether it was Columbus or Leeds or Holland or college or even when I was younger in High School, you hear on a daily basis that you shouldn't be such an [expletive] or don't be so gay. These are really things that you think when you are gay and you are raised that is wrong and you hear them, it slowly chips away at you. It makes you feel like you ever accept that side of you that something will change and they might not accept you. It scared the [expletive] out of me.
(On how his own insecurities played into the writing of his book…)
ROGERS: I didn't know the book would be so therapeutic. Just sitting with Eric and writing and talking for hours and hours helped me realized that I was raised for so long in an environment where I couldn't express myself. I'm still really bad at expressing myself and being open with people because for 20 years, I wasn't. Nothing changes over night. But Eric would say to me that he's 50 and he's still working on all his flaws. I didn't realize that was going to happen or take place. Our hope was to write a book that would reach people that had a gay son or knew someone that was gay and could read this and pass it along, but also help that person [that was reading]through whatever they were dealing with.
(On a unique experience speaking to people a book signing at a Los Angeles CostCo...)
ROGERS: Usually when you have an appearance or a book signing, people know who you are but at Costco, they don't have a connection [with a gay person]. People were coming up to me asking who I and I'd tell them, they'd sit there and read the book. They'd stand there and just keep reading then tell me 'oh my gosh, this is a great story. It's so great that you're doing" then they ended up buying a copy and telling me, I'm going to read this or give it to someone else and pass it along. I thought that this is great because not all these people are gay but they can read the story and connect to it. They realize that it's about someone who has a coming out experience that feels isolated and depressed at some point. They can pick the book up and relate to it. That was our hope, to connect with people that weren't necessarily in the LGBT community but felt that they had a coming out (either they had a divorce or changed religions and had to confront their family about it) we knew that."
(On his perceptions on the frustrating 2013 season with the Galaxy…)
ROGERS: It was weird. Even last year, I thought to myself that I hope other people come out because I didn't want to be the only gay athlete. I remember that 2013 was tough. I remember saying to my family that even when you come out, everything isn't great. You're still struggling with a lot of things. This year was more about finding a balance and being at peace with what I'm doing. I'm not just a gay athlete, I play for the Galaxy, I'm a left back and we have a good team. It was more than just that. It was just figuring out my life and being comfortable. I had just come out six months before I started playing with the Galaxy. It's not like you just come out and you've solved everything in life because you're still a 20-something trying to figure stuff out. But the book did help me figure out stuff about myself."

Battambang Museum
Angkorian spendours
What we say:
The pieces seem to be arranged in no particular order with little regard to age or temple origin. With its great central location, cheap admission fee of $1 and magnificent Angkorian works of art, it's definitely a great place to spend an hour or two (if it's open), but don't expect informative displays.
The friendly staff cannot speak English, though each relic has a sign denoting century and origin. No photos are permitted inside the museum.

Questions: Setting up Vontu to report on personal files
Hi, Sorry for the very basic question. How time consuming is it to setup Vontu to report on personal files such as JPG and videos on 1000 file servers with agents installed? We just want to report on them and then ask the people if they actually need them. Are there any other rammifications to doing this we should watch out for? Thanks.

So it is a little hard to answer your question for a few reasons..
- Are you using Endpoint agents to scan the file servers or are you using DLP Discover? DLP Discover is faster at scanning files than DLP endpoint. So time is going to be your biggest hurdle. On average DLP Discover can scan about 1TB per day, but this might be faster or slower depending on the policies configured. You can scale this and have many DLP Discover server scan the servers and would provide faster results.
- When it comes to the policy it is very easy to create one to look at file types. There is a page where you can select the different media types that you might want to look for. This will take you about 5 minutes to configure the policy.
- Nice thing about the product is that you can automate the emails that are sent to the users as part of the scan. It will do this IF you have configured the LDAP lookup to pull the email information about the OWNER of the file. (You will need to figure out the ones that are owned by Administrator or orphaned)
- Once you have done this, hopefully the isers will clean up the data. After that you can run a subsuqnet scan and Quarantine the files automatically to a secure location too.
DLP is more meant for content analysis and is based off a single scan and does NOT automatically update itself, it requires another scan to get new stats.
If you want a really good way to get STORAGE reporting you may want to look at Symantec Data Insight. It will inventory all of your storage servers and will proivde robust reporting and analytics on ALL filetypes very easily. You can then create reports by users, departments and a ton of other metrics. It will also collect usegae stats on who touched what file when and how often..very cool application.
If you are interested in more, let me know and send me a personal message (PM) and we can possibly work on getting you the right product for the job.
Hope this makes sense.
If this solves your questions please marked as solved.

In Photoshop CS6 Essential Training, Julieanne Kost demonstrates how to produce high-quality images in a short amount of time, using a combination of Adobe Photoshop CS6, Bridge, and Camera Raw.
The course details the Photoshop features and creative options, and shows efficient ways to perform common editing tasks, including noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, retouching, and combining multiple images. Along the way, the course explores techniques for nondestructive editing and compositing using layers, blending modes, layer masks, and much more.
Although the Spot Removal tool was initially designed to remove spots that appear on your image as a result of having dust on your sensor, it can also be used to make basic corrections such as removing a blemish or other distracting item in your image. So let's go ahead and zoom in right here on the girl's face. And although I actually don't think technically these are blemishes--I think these are actually small little moles or freckles--we're going to go ahead and remove them. So in order to select the Spot Removal Brush, you can tap the B key or select the tool from the tools.
And over on the right-hand side, you'll see that there are two different options. You can either set it to Heal or to Clone. When you set the tool to the Clone option, you're going to be making an exact duplicate of the area that you sample. I actually want to set it to Heal because I want Camera Raw to automatically adjust the tonality and the colors of the source area that I pick up and place that on top of the blemish in order to seamlessly remove it. In order to adjust the size of the brush, you want to change the Radius slider.
You can also change it by using the left bracket key or the right bracket key in order to make it larger or smaller. And you don't have to actually just click over an area with a large or small brush, because you'll notice when the brush gets too small, all you have are the crosshairs. Then it becomes much easier to simply click on top of the blemish that you want to remove and drag out the circle. Now let's zoom in using Command+Plus or Ctrl+Plus. You'll notice that there are two dots. The red dot is the area that we want to remove; it's the area that we want to heal.
And what Camera Raw has done is it's set down a green dot to sample from, so it's taking the information that's under the green dot and it's moving it over to the area under the red dot, and it's seamlessly healing it for me. Now we can change the size of these dots by simply clicking and dragging, and really, you want to make the smallest-sized dot possible. When I position my cursor inside the dot, you'll notice I can also move this. So let's make it just a wee bit larger.
I want to make sure it's a little bit larger than the area that I'm trying to cover. And then we can tap the V key to hide and show that overlay. So now let's move to this dot right here. Again, I could simply click or I can click and drag to set the circle size myself. If this green dot is somewhere that I don't want it, you can just position your cursor inside the green dot in order to relocate it and to help out Camera Raw pick the source or the area to sample from.
I'll click again right here and drag, and then once more right here, and even over on this area right here. Here I can see that it's selecting an area that's too dark, so I'll move over the sample area. I'll click again right here and maybe click and drag right here, just to make sure that the sample size is large enough, and then move over the area that I want it to clone from. Tapping the V key will toggle the overlay on and off, and tapping the P key will show the preview of before and after.
So the next time that you have some simple blemishes or distracting elements in your image, give the Spot Healing Brush a try. I think that you'll find that you can avoid spending time fixing little problems like this in Photoshop and just take care of them right here in Camera Raw.

It's a shame, really. Because as it happens, experts now recognize fat can be good for you. Aside from the beneficial effects some fats can have on cholesterol–unsaturated fats, like olive oil, tend to raise levels of good cholesterol and lower levels of the bad stuff–fats help deliver vitamins, build cells and regulate hormones. Unsaturated fat also has antioxidant properties, which may help fight cancer; so does meat from grass-fed animals. The oft-repeated hypothesis that links a high-fat diet to breast cancer has never been proved. And when it comes to appetite, hunger and obesity, fats–along with protein, green vegetables and whole grains–take more time to digest, making people feel full longer.
Even critics of high-fat diets acknowledge that people on them tend to eat less because they aren't as hungry. And according to studies published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), many people even have a type of fat–known as brown adipose tissue, or brown fat–that burns calories rather than piling them on.
Finally, fatty food appears to be shedding its stigma. Restaurants are featuring ever-fattier cuts of meat; cookbooks extol the virtues of lard. And the more scientists and nutritionists learn, the more they're willing to concede that vilifying fat isn't the solution. Says Jennifer Lovejoy, an obesity researcher at the University of Washington School of Public Health: "When people are eating whole food, real food diets, obesity is not a problem."
At a time when weight loss has become prime-time entertainment, a civic responsibility and a multibillion-dollar global industry, it's easy to forget that for centuries, doctors worried about malnutrition, starvation and underweight children, points out Gary Taubes. A science journalist, Taubes has been beating the drum in favor of fat for almost a decade. His book, Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage), spends 500 pages dismantling the prevailing ideas about fat, weight gain and health. It hasn't made him popular.
There was a time, though, when a low-fat diet was just as controversial. Fat–on the plate or the hips–didn't trigger health concerns until the late 20th century. As recently as the 1970s, dietary guidelines included plenty of fats and protein, because they helped people feel sated, preventing overeating. And obesity wasn't considered a serious problem in Europe or the U.S.; high-carbohydrate meals were associated with weight gain, and academic articles linked obesity in Africa and the Caribbean with starchy diets.
But heart disease was a growing public health concern. By the mid-1900s, it was a leading cause of death in the U.S., with the rest of the West catching up quickly. Led by University of Minnesota physiologist Ancel Keys, scientists linked heart disease to cholesterol, and made the leap to fatty foods. While critics of Keys' research abounded, the U.S. Congress wasn't among them. In the late 1970s, a Senate committee issued broad dietary guidelines encouraging Americans to eat less fat. Today, we take it for granted that one too many bacon double-cheeseburgers will give us a heart attack for sure.
It's hardly that simple. While the West started avoiding fats at all costs, researchers continued to study what causes heart disease. As they discovered more about the effects of different kinds of fats–saturated, trans, mono- and poly-unsaturated–on different kinds of cholesterol–HDL ("good") and LDL ("bad")–the weaker the link between dietary fats and heart disease became. Unsaturated fats, like those in nuts, fish, olive oil and avocado, are fluid at room temperature; they reduce LDL, which causes buildup in the arteries. Saturated fats, found in meat and dairy, chocolate and palm oil are solid at room temperature and their effects on cholesterol is more complicated. Coconut oil, for example, has been shown to raise both good and bad cholesterol levels, whereas some of the fats in dark chocolate and beef have a neutral effect.
In other words, as Taubes puts it, when it comes to cholesterol, food high in saturated fats may be, at worst, a wash. "If you work out the numbers, you come to the surreal conclusion that you can eat lard straight from the can and conceivably reduce your risk of heart disease," he wrote in 2002. These days, he says he sees evidence of the conventional wisdom everywhere, from low-fat products on the shelves to the customers at his local bagel shop ordering soy cream cheese and skim lattes. "I always want to ask them why," he says. "There's this overarching idea that fat is bad for you–that something has to be the problem with our diets, because we die of heart disease and we get fat."
Increasingly, researchers and nutrition experts are starting to come around. "I have been in this business for 35 years and I have never been one of those who maintain that fat is bad," says Daan Kromhout, a professor of public health at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. "We don't even know whether the two things–fat and [being] overweight–have anything to do with each other. The fat issue is much more complicated than it was once thought to be." Moreover, Kromhout says, stating only the amount of fat in a food product is misleading, since "you have to specify what type of fat is included–saturated, unsaturated, trans-fat–because if you don't, people will just cut down on all fats, the good ones included."
Dutch pediatricians were so alarmed by the low-fat trend that they urged parents to ensure that their children receive the essential nutrients only fat can bring. "Children under the age of 6 need fat," said Elise Buiting, president of the Dutch Youth Service Medical Association, in an interview with a Dutch newspaper this year. "We recommend full-fat margarine with unsaturated fatty acids, for example. Children who are given the same 'light' products as their parents do not get enough."

Foreign invasion heads to Breeders' Cup post
Record number of Euro entries
ARCADIA — It's the American way.
At the end of any sporting event with competitors from several countries, we check the scoreboard to see how the representatives of the good old USA fared against the world.
And a year ago, on the second day of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, the news wasn't that good. European shippers won five of nine races, three on turf — which wasn't that surprising — and two on the Pro-Ride synthetic surface, including a 1-2 finish by Raven's Pass and Henrythenavigator in the $5 million Classic.
Flash forward to the event's return to Santa Anita tomorrow and Saturday. There were 37 European shippers pre-entered and 30 are set to run, both records in the 26-year history of the event.
"The Europeans have come over in numbers, which is fantastic," said Alistair Donald, a director of the International Racing Bureau. "It may be unsurprising, though, given the success last year. Obviously we are hoping to repeat some of that success, but we should be under no illusion that it's going to be easy to do that.
"I think the quality of the overall fields is outstanding, and while I think we have some very good chances in some specific races I think it's going to be tough."
Retired jockey Jerry Bailey, an analyst for the telecast of ESPN/ABC, compared the situation to golf's Ryder Cup. A legitimate one, it would seem, since U.S. domination for decades has recently become a biannual dogfight with Team Europe.
Asked on a national teleconference what he expected this year, Bailey said he expects the Europeans to be strong again.
"In a lot of events, the Europeans pretty much manhandled us last year," Bailey said."
The final day began with Muhannak winning the Marathon and proceeded through a 1-2 finish by Donativum and Westphalia in the Juvenile Turf and grass victories by Goldikova (Mile) and Conduit (Turf) before the Classic capper.
"They were very effective on the synthetic and I think that's one of the reasons for their strong (turnout) again this year," Bailey said.
The scouting report of the over-the-pond group, provided by Donald, goes as follows.
• Classic: "I think we have an outstanding candidate in Rip Van Winkle, who has done everything that has been asked and expected of him this season.
Rip Van Winkle, an Irish-bred 3-year-old colt trained by Aidan O'Brien, notched victories in the Group I Sussex and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in July and September in his last two starts. In three races before that the son of Galileo chased Sea the Stars, the best horse in Europe this year.
A trip here for the Classic was considered for Sea the Stars, but only briefly.
"I think if Sea the Stars had come he would have been vying for favoritism," Donald said. "The local fans will always support the local horse and I fully expect that. Although we might have Rip Van Winkle as the favorite (in Europe), I fully expect Zenyatta to be the overall favorite on the day."

Needed something that was a bit firmer to take on planes and this does the trick.
This is a great bag for the money. Lots of room for all your stuff and as many as 6 rackets. It also has two zipper pockets on the bottom for small items and shoes or extra shirts.
great bag for carrying rackets & balls. love the color and practical use of all the sleeves. recommend it & the price is right.
The bag has ample space for all of my gear including shoes. Extra pockets for the small stuff & a very nice hard smooth molding so things don't get crushed. Wish it had back straps but overall it's a great deal
This bag stands out. It is ample enough for all of your stuff including a separate compartment for shoes that is accessed from the bottom of the bag. I would recommend it to anyone. I only carry 3 racquets but can hold much more.
The bag keeps its shape well and has ample space for my belongings

Non-Core Bank Liabilities and Financial Vulnerability
A lending boom is reflected in the composition of bank liabilities when traditional retail deposits (core liabilities) cannot keep pace with asset growth and banks turn to other funding sources (non-core liabilities) to finance their lending. We formulate a model of credit supply as the flip side of a credit risk model where a large stock of non-core liabilities serves as an indicator of the erosion of risk premiums and hence of vulnerability to a crisis. We find supporting empirical evidence in a panel probit study of emerging and developing economies.

About this Business
From Our Editors
It's important to the owners of Heirloom Baking Co. that their ingredients are sourced from local purveyors. Yet they can't resist making one exception: their connection to Topeca coffee, in which their beans are roasted just down the street from Heirloom, tying them back to the eggs, milk, and produce acquired from nearby farms. These ingredients go into a breakfast and lunch menu that includes everything from yogurt parfaits with fresh fruit to a frittata sandwich with chorizo and eggs.
