Although it was believed Alistair Overeem (Pictured) would retain his heavyweight top contender moniker once his nine-month drug suspension was lifted, the Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting the former Strikeforce champion make his return against Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva at UFC 156. The UFC essentially confirmed the scrap by retweeting the post. Of course, Overeem must first wait until December 27th to reapply for licensing after registering more than twice the legal limit of testosterone in his system in March. The Nevada State Athletic Commission is expected to hold a meeting in early-to-mid January. "The commission can go any way they want to at that meeting. They could say yes, they could say no, they could say yes with conditions," NSAC executive director Keith Kizer told LVRJ. "All of that will be on the table, but nothing can happen as far as licensure until after (Dec. 27)." Overeem's lone big league performance game last New Year's Eve weekend in a TKO victory over Brock Lesnar. He was set to challenge reigning champ Junior dos Santos for his hardware at UFC 146 until flunking his pre-fight drug exam. He's been riding the pine ever since. Silva, meanwhile, handed Travis Browne his first professional blemish in his most recent outing. The TKO win snapped the Brazilian's two-fight losing skid. Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the February 2nd festivities. Here are the athletes expected to perform on Super Bowl Saturday: Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo (UFC featherweight champion)

Tennis Tipping|Fed Cup 2013
Tennis Tipping – Fed Cup (ALL WORLD GROUPS)
What is Tennis Tipping?
In the game, participants pick the winners of all main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.
- In case a player (i.e. the actual WTA Player) retires in a match, this match will not be counted. If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.
How to Sign-Up:
Your team captain should send me his team selection and line-up through pm.
More information:
How to send in picks:
Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner inevery match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [TT: Something, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you're still in both singles & doubles, you use the same tips for both. For doubles, you still tip the WTA singles matches, not the doubles!No changes can be made after the play has started.
Good Luck!

2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
- For SaleCadillac Escalade Hybrid
- RepairsCadillac Escalade Hybrid
2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Interior
This interior review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
The conventional Escalade is known for its roomy and luxurious interior, and the Escalade Hybrid continues that trend. The interior is packed with luxury finishes and high-tech gear. There are two main differences between the regular and hybrid Escalade's interiors: Because of its battery pack, the hybrid cannot be equipped with second-row captain's chairs, and the hybrid includes a digital readout to help drivers track how efficient their driving is. Overall, reviewers are pleased with the passenger cabin.
- "Impressive assembly quality, and mostly top-notch materials, though a few plastic pieces disappoint at these prices." -- Consumer Guide
- "The interior uses a small herd of cattle just to wrap the three rows of seats, doors and center console in beautiful leather. It smells delicious every time you enter the SUV." -- Detroit News
- "The Escalade Hybrid's cabin offers the same brand of unbridled luxury seen in gas-only models." -- Edmunds
- "We had the opportunity to take the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid on a road trip and were treated to its luxuries from the get-go." -- CNET
- "The hybrid Escalade is certainly luxurious." -- Kansas City Star
- "Both inside and outside the vehicle, the hybrid version is almost identical to the luxurious regular Escalade (interior pictured above) with leather covering the seats, door trim and center console (so while you might get a hesitant nod from the people at the Sierra Club, the folks at PETA will still hate you)." -- Autobytel
- "Otherwise the Escalade Hybrid is part of the General Motors renaissance and if the Escalade's interior is any measure, good things are happening. The quality of the interior matches or exceeds anything in its price class. Front-row seats are thrones, soft touch surfaces abound even in places not usually touched." -- Dallas Examiner
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Pictures
The Cadillac Escalade hybrid can seat up to eight people in three rows. While the first two rows get high marks for comfort and amenities -- including heated and cooled seats -- the third row fares poorly with reviewers, who say it is too low to the floor to be comfortable for adults on long trips.
- "I felt like king of the road from the throne-like driver's seat." -- NADA Guides
- "The front seats are especially noteworthy because they offer excellent support without feeling confining."-- Kansas City Star
- "Escalades have big-rig space on wide, comfortable seats, though the tallest drivers may want more headroom and legroom." -- Consumer Guide
- "The second-row seat is a bench under which the battery pack is stowed-so captain's chairs and the one-touch power flip 'n fold seat are not available. For unknown technical reasons, engineers say they could not offer a heated steering wheel." -- Car and Driver
- "Interior volumes don't seem match the exterior dimensions, however. Although the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid has three rows of seats, the last row is low to the floor."-- Dallas Examiner
- "For that matter, all of the regular model's shortcomings carry over to this one. Most notably, the third-row seats are sort of low to the ground and best suited for smaller people, at least for long drives. "-- Cars.com
Interior Features
The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid's interior features leave little to be desired. Reviewers are pleased with the materials and construction of the interior. They are also happy with the Escalade Hybrid's top-notch stereo, DVD entertainment system, DVD-based navigation screen (which includes XM NavTraffic) and energy flow display.
- "The instrument panel has elegant gauges, few seams and surface textures that are rich and inviting. The layout and design of the radio and climate controls is simple and clean. Large knobs have a quality feel." -- Kansas City Star
- "The Hybrid's navigation screen features a helpful energy flow display that indicates the status of the vehicle's gas/electric system. Likewise, a gauge in the upper left corner of the instrument panel indicates the most efficient braking range to capture regenerative braking energy, which recharges the battery." -- Consumer Guide
- "The dashboard of the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is familiar territory with GM's standard navigation and audio system controlled by a touch-screen LCD. The interface is well-thought-out, using tabs across the top to make selections for things such as audio sources. The tabs also let you choose to display a full-screen map or a split between the map and current audio source." -- CNET
- "There's a wide breadth of technology at your finger tips. New for 2009 is a blind-spot detection system and XM radio with NavTraffic, a system that provides live updates for traffic problems. The navigation screen includes one of those hybrid learning screens, so you can see where the power is coming from and how effective your driving skills are." -- Detroit News
- "Much more annoying than the electric-motor whir is the whoosh and swirl of the standard GPS navigation system's DVD drive, something I noticed in the regular Escalade as well. It's rather noisy when it accesses the map disc, which is especially noticeable when you first start the car and it's booting up." -- Cars.com
The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid has decent cargo space, but reviewers are disappointed that the third-row seat doesn't fold flat into the floor. Instead, the bulky seats must be removed from the car. However, the power rear liftgate is popular with reviewers.
- "The power lift gate blinked the taillights in warning as it opened access to the cargo bay, and the running boards folded down automatically, making it easy to step into the truck. The third row seats weren't quite as kind, requiring some muscle to get them out of the way." -- CNET
- "As we hit the road, we packed our suitcases into the rear cargo area, which was made very easy, thanks to the automatic liftgate, which opens and closes at the push of a button on either the tailgate itself or the remote key fob." -- NADA Guides
- "A power-assisted rear liftgate that opens and closes with the touch of a button like a mechanical monster waiting to consume your Whole Foods grocery bags. And with 108.9 cubic feet of cargo space, that's a lot of grocery bags." -- Autobytel

Cruise Terminal
Favorite thing: *
*Cruise Terminal is located on the Northern Bay of Acapulco
*As you disembark from the cruise terminal, you will pass the first section of shops.
I tend to avoid these shops unless it is a must need ie water, sunscreen, etc.
The prices tend to be a bit higher than in other areas.
*Internet, phones, fax
There is shop here you can log-into, use the computer, send email, make phone calls.
It is a little more expensive than in town, but sometimes I do prefer to get my work done or call home before getting carried on with my day.
Also, if you need help calling home, it may be simpler here since you can get help with that from English speaking attendands
Last minute gift items
If you have to board the boat, this is your last chance to buy items to take back with you
Locals very friendly..even the kids!
Favorite thing: *The locals were very friendly
*Sometimes all it takes is a quick smile and you can easily meet some great people.
*The locals can provide you with helpful hints, ideas, directions and their favorite places.
*I always consider part of the whole experience of travel, is learning the culture and interacting with the local people
Tour Guide - Acapulco Style!
Favorite thing: *
*There are personal tour guides available.
*They are usually hanging-out by the cruise terminal on the Northern bay of Acapulco
*They can help you with
- Finding certain items at a shop
- Finding a certain food item or restaurant
- A guided tour of the key sights in Acapulco
- Answering any questions
- A fun little way of exploring the City if this is your first visit
*Most of the better ones we found, usually have nice colorful shirts on and hold a wealth of knowledge
*K-B hired this one to take us to some of the Flea Markets in town, since this was our first time in Acapulco city area
*We paid him $20 USD for about 2 hours of help/touring.
*He was very friendly, gave us good information, pointed out certain sights and suggestions for later, spoke good english, humorous at times...we all felt he was worth the $20 USD.
*Keep in mind that some of the guides may be getting a kick-back from the vendors he takes you to..FYI
The "Diana" fountain
Favorite thing: This is the "Diana" fountain, very similar to the one we have in Mexico City (another great spot for you to visit, please check my site out!), which is right at the entrance of Acapulco when you arrive here by car or by bus (when coming from Mexico City, Cuernavaca or any town north of Acapulco). It's one of the main points of reference in town and there's a lot of commerce around it. It's located on the Costera Avenue, too.Related to:
- Architecture
Day trip to Taxco
Favorite thing: Set aside a Saturday to catch a bus to Taxco. You will not be sorry. It is a four hour trip by bus to this picturesque mountain town. Saturdays are the market day when the downtown streets are filled with open markets sprawling all directions. Here you will find silver jewellery in all styles from really modern to ornate. This is where the retailers from all over Mexico come to buy their silver. Saturday, being market day it is busy, but the prices are fantastic! Be prepared to push if you want to get next to some of the displays, and keep close clutch of your money when in these crushed crowds. Prices were a quarter of what you paid in Acapulco. Walk up to the Zocalo and step inside the cathedral Sta Prisca. This cathedral is breathtaking!
Fondest memory: My best memory of Acapulco will be Caleta Beach. This is where the locals come to play. The water is calm and great for swimming or just floating around. My hotel was right on Caleta Beach and I grew to love my home away from home. It also helped that it was filled with fellow Canadians who knew how to have fun!
International Convention Center
Favorite thing: The Centro Internacional de Convenciones is a huge auditorium where lots of events are held each year. From concerts to contests, from conventions to expos, anything can be done here.
In 2000 I came to work here for a week as translator. It was a nice experience and I even met the President of Mexico.
Picture is from 1993.Related to:

- Architecture
La Costera Avenue
Favorite thing: This is the main street in Acapulco, called the Costera (Miguel Aleman) Avenue. This is where 99% of the discotheques, bars and restaurants are located in Acapulco, as well as most of the nicest hotels in town and many stores & shopping malls...Related to:
- Beaches
globetrott's General Tip
Fondest memory: After a taxi-ride of about 45 minutes we came to this hotel, situated directely on the beach. It also had a huge pool and garden-landscape around the hotel.
I never again saw such a beautiful arrangement of palmtrees,waterfalls and tropical gardens inside a hotel...
Do everything! Take the...
Favorite thing: Do everything! Take the slumming tour, the tour of the banana plantation, the nightclub tour. This stuff is arranged but it's part of the experience.
Fondest memory: On our first trip our tour guide Louis was fantastic. He took us places and we met his friends and had a wonderful time. He even shared his home and dinner with us one night. . He made our first trip really special.
You must enjoy the wonderful...
Favorite thing: You must enjoy the wonderful people! I had never seen this type of hospitality in my life! Everyone was very gracious and caring!
Fondest memory: I could stand on my balcony for ever just mesmerized by the wonderful view!
Try everything, don't be shy. ...
Favorite thing: Try everything, don't be shy. Shop the markets, gift shops, hit the beach, relax and enjoy. If you don't have fun it's your own fault.
Fondest memory: Walking the streets and stopping to see anything and everything that peaks you intrest. Talking with the people along the way, you will meet some real characters. Everyone there has a business card, no matter what they do.
daBertl's General Tip
Fondest memory: My fondest memory of Acapulco was not really a good one, but anyway. the following is an excerpt from my Latin America Stories:
Robbed, fined and stranded in Acapulco - The last days of La Gorda
On a Wednesday morning we left for Acapulco, a resort we all heard of and have seen shinning brightly in old Hollywood movies. We arrived over the hills to the north-west of the city, and slowly rolled down to the city's center. Once upon a time this resort was a stunning beautiful playground for the rich and famous, nowadays Acapulco is a large Mexican city that spreads out all over the surrounding hills and hosts a few 1960's style hotel bunker located along the Bahia de Acapulco. We found accommodation in a tiny hotel located in the center of old Acapulco a block off the Costera, the coast road. Although, the town seemed to be run down and has lost a lot of fame and glory of the past, we could still feel the charisma of this place and after a long first stroll through the town and along the coast far into the hotel zone we liked it and we liked to be there.
It was a hot day and we let it end by sitting on the small balcony of our hotel room, spilling down a few 'Modelos' and discussing the program of the upcoming days and weeks. Satisfied we went to bed after 2 A.M. to be woken up by one of the hotel staff only four hours later to tell us that somebody has smashed a window of our car. We immediately jumped out of our beds and ran downstairs finding the side window behind the driver's seat completely shuttered and the back seat of the car with glass fragments and nothing else. Since the car was parked right in front of a Mini Supermarket a small crowd of people stood behind us when we realized that also stuff that was inside the car was stolen. Other cars had been vandalized too, but no one seemed surprised. This was a very common happening in Acapulco as we learned from the Supermarket manager. We always left behind a bunch of unimportant items, such as towels, a cooler, and sunscreen. Since Baja California and the western coast of Mexico proved to be extremely safe, we had let our guard down when we shouldn't have. And this time we have the worst of luck. Stricken with a hard case of the flu, and tired, upon arriving to Acapulco Martin had for the once left in the car much of his photography equipment. He lost his newly bought guitar, shoes, glasses, a microphone for the video camera, many of his camera lenses and filters, and by far worst all the rolls of photography film, used and unused, which visually documented all the stops along our trip. Martin greatly lamented this loss for the photography represented an important aspect of the trip for him. With all the missing equipment he would have a hard time photographing and video-documenting in the months to come, but he tried to put the loss behind him. Besides these major losses we were relieved of some towels, sandals, a cool box, and change that we left in the coin tray for highway toll. We soon figured out that we could not do anything at all and that we had paid our price for leaving stuff unaccompanied in the car.
Visit the local square, and...
Favorite thing: Visit the local square, and see the ancient (?) church. The story is that the church was originally built as a movie set, in the 40's. After the movie was filmed, the church was given to the community, and has been an actual Catholic Church since.
Fondest memory: The wonderful weather, beautiful days and nights, time to relax and enjoy shopping, sightseeing, walking on the beach or the streets, visiting friends both old and new.
Play Golf in the acapulco...
Favorite thing: Play Golf in the acapulco Princess,the Sunset,run in the costera,breakfast in 'Villavera',in the night go to dance to BabyÓ
Acapulco it´s a very special city
Fondest memory: The Night Life,the Discoteques,the restaurants
All is magic
gkitzmil's General Tip
Fondest memory: I believe Acapulco has the capacity to deliver a number of experiences to the visitor but not the beaches of a Cancun. I was 110% happy with my trip and will eagerly go back. I wanted total relaxation in 'Real Mexico.' I was happy I stayed in Caletilla beach, the old original Acapulco so that I could speak Spanish and relax. My chosen hotel, the Boca Chica is moderately priced and while a bit outdated in furnishings it is excellently located with a view of the beach, the bay, and clear out to the Ocean. It also is on a point so that I was literally surrounded by water!
I did not want to pay the $100 - $300 payed by many tourists at the 'big name' hotels for a nearly US experience on a bay beach that is dangerous. Caletilla is the safest and most sloped beach in Aca.
Others will find the nightlife of Aca' fun -- but I did not go for that. I did not even check out the clubs. If I wanted a good margarita they had great ones at the open air restaurant and bar at the hotel.

Harvard Business School and Harvard Medical School proudly announce the finalists of the Health Acceleration Challenge: Bloodbuy, I-Pass, Medalogix, and Twine! You can see a video of the finalists below.
The Health Acceleration Challenge is a "scale up" competition that focuses on compelling, already-implemented health care solutions and helps them to grow and increase their impact through powerful networking and funding opportunities.
The four finalists will share the $150,000 Cox Prize, have an HBS case study written about their innovation and have the opportunity to present at the Forum on Health Care Innovation conference to 150 senior health care executives next April.
The Health Acceleration Challenge received 478 applicants in total and attracted 2,000 visitors from 127 countries. 2,748 participants posted over 2,000 comments on our open application platform.
Video: Health Acceleration Challenge Finalists
Bloodbuy notes that blood is a core commodity of health care. For this reason, the Dallas company built a cloud-based platform that addresses the uneven geographic distribution of available blood supply in real time, enabling price transparency and greater efficiency in a critical health care market.
I-Pass uses a multifaceted approach to improve the exchange of information among health care providers by standardizing the patient hand-off process at every change of shift. It has already yielded a 30% reduction in medical errors resulting from patient transfer. The enterprise is led by the I-Pass Executive Council, a group of six individuals from a number of hospitals across the country, including Boston Children's/Harvard Medical School, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children/Drexel University College of Medicine, and the Benioff Children's Hospital/University of California San Francisco.
The goal of Medalogix is to help provide better quality of life at the end of a patient's life. The Nashville-based company does this by leveraging predictive analytics to identify patients that are eligible for hospice and then implementing a workflow that allows clinicians to help patients better manage the hospice decision and transfer process, minimizing associated difficulties and costs for all those involved.
Twine Health is a collaborative care app that allows patients and their doctors to co-create treatment plans for chronic disease, including access to motivational coaches and virtual support. The app's efficacy has been proven over six years of research at the MIT Media Lab and is currently demonstrating markedly improved outcomes at one-third the cost of regular treatments.

Key insights from the Forum's first conference on health care innovation.
About the Forum on Health Care Innovation
The Forum on Health Care Innovation is a collaboration between Harvard Business School (HBS) and Harvard Medical School (HMS). Its purpose is to unite leading executives, policymakers, and academics in a cross-disciplinary exploration of innovative actions to improve quality, reduce costs, and, ultimately, increase value in the health care industry.
The Forum's initial event was a conference and survey that were summarized in Five Key Imperatives.
In 2014 the Forum launched the Health Acceleration Challenge to identify and promote demonstrated health care innovations, and selected four finalists to share the Cox Prize.
I discovered both the enormous gratitude each one of us has as individuals for health care and the equally enormous frustration any one of us has as a consumer of the health care system. Our challenge is: How can we realize the great magic, and the great benefits, that health care can afford?
We need approaches to the solutions that aren't just arithmetic and additive, but are in some sense logarithmic. This will require us to reach across historic boundaries and unlock the potential of collaboration across the usual disciplines.

As a 14-year-old teenager, Ava Anderson became concerned about chemicals in personal-care products she and her family used. She got rid of the products but didn't stop there. In 2009, she formed Ava Anderson Non Toxic with her brother, Frohman, and their mother, Kim. Anderson, pictured above, is now a student at Babson College, in Wellesley, Mass. And her direct-sales business employs 45 people in an East Providence manufacturing center that produces 11 different types of products, including for skin care. more

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/4/12
Calgary Flames forward Rene Bourque has been suspended five games by the NHL for elbowing Washington's Nicklas Backstrom in the head. Bourque was given a minor penalty for elbowing Tuesday night for his hit on Backstrom at 10:06 of the third period of Calgary's 3-1 loss at Washington. Backstrom played two more shifts before leaving the game. The suspension was handed down Wednesday night. It is the second time this season Bourque has been suspended, and he was treated this time as a repeat offender. He was given a two-game ban last month for a hit on Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook. Bourque, who will be eligible to return on Jan. 17 at San Jose, will lose $203,252.05 in salary.

Respond to Review of Mumbai
by xkillerx
Review: Like Futurama, this tiny hole-in -the-wall turned vegetarian restaurant keeps resurrecting itself. But unlike Futurama, it is never awesome. They still charge 7 euroes per kilo of food. If you are from anywhere BUT serbia, you might think that's cheap; but trust me, if you happen to be living here, that's quite a lot of money to pay for deep fried vegetables and other soupy-vegetably things. The samosas and desserts arent on the cheap side either. At least the samosas are tiny but tasty, while the sweets are just too damn sweet (for my taste - if you're a sugar craving junk food vegan, you'll be thrilled). The "main" dishes - like fried soy, rice and curries are ok. Folks, if you're coming to visit belgrade from abroad, you should also consider the few serbian vegan dishes that can be found almost anywhere (posni prebranac, pecurke na zaru). Last but not least, this is really a *tiny* place, and if you show up later in the evening, there will be hardly any food left, but you will still get charged premium for those heated up leftovers. All in all, my main objection is pricing, and my minor objection are working hours.

"The website for Sen. Barack Obama's church -- Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago -- not long ago described the 'Black Value System' in the 'About Us' section of its website," ABC's Jake Tapper reports. "And it used to provide a link to the Trumpet Magazine that once gave an award to Louis Farrakhan -- a magazine published by Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter. No longer."
This is some of what Trinity United may not want out there now that one of its own is running for president: "The church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses 'the destruction of the white enemy,' " the Washington Times' S.A. Miller writes. "Trinity United Church of Christ's Web site says its teachings are based on the black liberation theology of James H. Cone and his 1969 book 'Black Theology and Black Power.' "
Wright's comments have broken through with voters, despite what polls show, Bloomberg's Heidi Przybyla writes from Indiana. "Interviews with dozens of Democrats in this overwhelmingly white region -- where voters will go to the polls in the May 20 primary -- suggest residual concerns over the controversy involving Obama's former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright," she writes. "To be sure, this flies in the face of most polls taken after Obama's widely praised March 18 speech on race and the Wright controversy. . . . Still, there are stirrings of unease among white voters, including those who fear the issue will hurt Obama in a general election."
The pitch is changing with his audience. "He is grounding his lofty rhetoric in the more prosaic language of white-working-class discontent, adjusting it to the less welcoming terrain of Pennsylvania," Michael Powell writes in The New York Times. "His preferred communication now is the town-hall-style meeting."
On the whole, Wright's comments don't seem to have fazed the Obama campaign. The outsider is becoming the insider -- and he'll gladly take these kinds of backers.
Obama "is increasingly benefiting from institutional support -- bolstering his campaign during a rough month when he lost two key primaries and faced questions about his spiritual mentor," Scott Helman writes in The Boston Globe.
"That trend is increasing pressure on Clinton, who trails Obama in two other important benchmarks - total delegates and the overall popular vote - to consider stepping aside. What has been striking over the past month is that Obama has racked up key endorsements during a relatively turbulent period in his candidacy."
The latest superdelegate endorsement -- by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. -- "followed Friday's endorsement of Obama by Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey," Thomas Fitzgerald writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Obama strategists said Casey's backing would help introduce their candidate to white blue-collar voters, a bedrock Casey constituency that has been a key part of Clinton's winning coalition in other states -- and a major reason she holds a double-digit lead in Pennsylvania polls."
As she took the stage to the theme from "Rocky," Clinton declared Monday night: "Well, one thing you know about me, I don't quit."

Not everyone will be happy
Voting over the new Terms of Service is now open and "If users approve the draft Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, then all future policy changes would be eligible for a vote by users, provided the level of intensity of user interest would justify it," reads a Facebook press release.
But Facebook's move cannot satisfy the 175+ million users of the social networks. Plenty of comments started popping up in the newly crated Town Halls with various opinions (of those who are actually on topic).
Blake Davis, a Facebook user, says: "Facebook is a private company and shouldn't have to solicit opinions of its users. Facebook is an oligarchy, not a democracy, and should be treated as such. Having people 'vote' on terms can only lead to havoc."
But another user, Albatros Jones disagrees: "Vote away! As with any other organization (i.e. HOA, School Groups, etc) the community creates the rules and determines what is appropriate within the community. Facebook has become too large; it isn't run by the creators anymore. If it was, the TOS that became so controversial would still be in effect and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now."
However, Facebook left plenty of loopholes in the draft TOS and judging by the number of comments already piling up on the Town Halls pages, opinions are divided. But such a debate Facebook created, in which millions have so much to say, could only lead to a discussion that will span way over the 30 days window the social network offered.
As usual, I am highly interested in your opinion on this matter. Are you happy with the changes Facebook made into its draft TOS? Which issues do you think were not addressed? Have you found any other loopholes in the TOS? Please let me know in the comments.

In a dramatic departure from the prevailing standard for analyzing the antitrust implications of reverse-payment settlements in Hatch-Waxman Act patent disputes, the Third Circuit has squarely rejected the "scope-of-the-patent test" and adopted, instead, a rebuttable presumption that any such settlement involving a payment from the branded pioneer to a generic manufacturer violates federal antitrust law. In In re K-Dur Antitrust Litigation, the Third Circuit crafts a new rule, under which parties to a reverse-payment settlement may rebut the presumption of illegality only by showing that either (a) the payment from the pioneer to the generic was for a purpose other than delaying the generic's entry; or (b) the payment offers a pro-competitive benefit that sufficiently offsets the anti-competitive effect of delayed generic entry. As a practical matter, the rule creates a formidable obstacle to reverse-payment settlements in the Hatch-Waxman context and represents a significant policy victory for federal agencies (primarily the Federal Trade Commission) that have opposed such settlements for years without success.
The Third Circuit's decision comes on the heels of the Eleventh Circuit's April 2012 decision in Federal Trade Commission v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which rejected an antitrust challenge to a reverse-payment settlement by applying a form of the "scope-of-the-patent" test. The Third Circuit decision effects a clear split among the federal circuits (three of which have adopted the scope-of-the-patent test) and, unless it is vacated by an en banc panel, creates a significant opportunity for the Supreme Court to address these issues. As the Eleventh Circuit refused to rehear Watson en banc on July 18, either or both of these decisions could become the vehicle for Supreme Court review.

Teaching young adults about credit cards is a very necessary thing to do because mistakes made with a student credit card pale in comparison to the mistakes possible when you're an established professional. For one, the credit limit is much lower on a student credit card, making the possible debt load less. Then, should you make a late payment or default on your card, you'll have more time to correct your mistakes before your credit is needed for a house or car purchase.
Student credit cards certainly have their pros and cons, but if used responsibly, the experience and rewards gained by credit cards can certainly help a students future. We've compiled a short list of the best student credit cards in the market today. All of these cards teach responsible spending while rewarding students for on time payments, good grades and responsible spending.
Not too long ago, credit card issuers offered students free t-shits, koozies, slices of pizza, and other random goodies as a reward for applying for a credit card. Rules have changed, and applying for a student credit card is a little more strict now. This is a good thing, as many students took on more than they could handle. The following list includes some of the best student credit cards – offers that include good rewards programs, have reasonable interest rates, and no annual fees. When used properly, they can help you learn to use credit responsibly and help you build your credit score.
Featured Credit Cards for College Students

XS Exhibit At Metropolitan Museum Closes Today, April 15
More than 50 works of art of diminutive size by 30 American and European artists working in a variety of media and techniques comprise the installation XS at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. With a title borrowed from the XS size label (for 'extra small') found in women's garments, the installation includes rarely displayed works from the Museum's collection that are usually kept in storage due to their tiny size. The installation, which challenges the adage "bigger is better," is on view in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing through April 15, 2012.
Featured in XS are works that span the years 1890 to 2010. While many of the artists represented usually worked in a larger format, they also created versions of their landscapes, portraits, interiors, nudes and abstractions on a significantly smaller scale. The installation opens with three miniature works in watercolor by Paul Klee (1914-1917), progressing to a river landscape by Piet Mondrian in black chalk, to Marguerite (1916), an oil on wood portrait by Henri Matisse. Additional highlights of the installation include a drawing of Man Walking(1951) by Alberto Giacometti and two portraits by Pablo Picasso-one a self-portrait entitled Yo (1900), and the other a very detailed ink and wax crayon sketch, Seated Figure (1902). The installation moves into illustrated notes, including a hand-drawn dinner invitation by David Hockney, Menu for Dinner in Honor of Henry Geldzahler (1978).
The small format challenges the depth of detail an artist can achieve, a challenge met by Amy Bennett with two paintings, Diagnosis (2010) and Hypochondriac (2010). To demonstrate fully the contrast in size, a small-scale version of Mao (1973) by Andy Warhol is hung just a few steps from the artist's larger-than-life version of the same subject in the adjacent gallery.
This installation was organized by Sabine Rewald, Jacques and Natasha Gelman Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art.
Adults $25.00, seniors (65 and over) $17.00, students $12.00
Members and children under 12 accompanied by adult free
Express admission may be purchased in advance at www.metmuseum.org/visit

Orange Peel Texture Help please
Ok, so I've just recently finished repairing and re-moding some walls around the house. The walls are orangepeel and I am having a hard time finding how to match the texture.
I've tried a can of "spray tex" idustrial orange peel but the texture turns out much finer. I need bigger blobs in my orange peel! Any reccomendations will be greatly appreciated!
You need a texture machine.25.00 a day and you will be able to match the orange peel you have.With a texture machine you have a constant pressure,which equates to the same consistency of texture being applied. Here is a link to show you what I am talking about.
You can mix the mud yourself and "spatter" it on with a very course brush, like a wall paper paste brush.
Did you try adjusting the nozzle of the Homex Orange Peel sprayer can? The nozzle adjusts to give you large spatters to more fine spatters.
Ok, so there are two possibilities... and it sort of depends on how much wall you need to do.
1) If you have a lot of wall to do, you can either borrow or rent a texture sprayer... I don't know if Home Depot has em, but a lot of smaller place do. If you already have an air compresser, I have actually seen the hoppers for sale for $50 or so, for the cheaper type.
2) If the area is pretty small, you can get one of those straw hand brooms, remove some of the straw, dip it in your drywall mud, and "throw" it at the wall. Make sure you don't throw it at an angle, or it will probably look weird. (Unless the original texture was sprayed at an angle.)
I've never had the spray can stuff work well for me. Always looked more like that ceiling popcorn than orange peel. Maybe my technique was bad.
In both cases I would recommend that you practice on a spare piece of drywall before you try to do a whole room. But one of the nice things about DIY texture is you can always gently scrape it back off if it isn't working out for you on the first try.
Good luck!
Sounds like what you have is more commonly called a splatter, rather than orange peel, which tends to be a finer, more consistent finish. You need either a hopper and compressor, or a texture pump for this, like krankykitty says. Matching texture is an acquired art, so you might consider seeing how much a pro would charge you for the job.
For one thing, it is not easy to completely "match" a new orange peel texture to an existing orange peel texture surface. That difficulty, is the case with the pros, ..... let alone DIYer.
When we have to do "patch-type" orange-peel repairs for clients, we will state in our proposals, that the only way to guaranty a seamless, consistent, uniform pattern (new "with" old), is to re-texture the entire area, or the entire length of wall, or the entire room's ceiling.
(It is much like auto repair. Example: A repaired and painted fender. Sometimes, you have to paint the whole car over, in order to get the color the same).
The cans are fine for simple smaller wall patches. However, if you are attempting to create a "close-to" or an "exact" match, then you would have to go with a sprayer. Use the correct nozzle, the correct compound consistency, and consider the possibility of having to re-coat large areas , in order to get the orange peel spatter to a uniform pattern.
Remember that with a repair where you have to match a new surface-finish to an existing surface-finish, always do some prior test runs, on same materials, in order to adjust and fine tune your method, prior to the actual application.
Good Luck.
Using the cans can also become quite pricey if you have alot of areas to do @ $10+ per can.:yes:
I just found this Orange Peel photo in my collection of job photo's.
Is this what your Orange Peel looks like? Keep in mind this is very cose-up.
This is an issue for me as well. As a pro, the cans just aren't going to cut it. But being a painter, not a texture/drywall installer, I can't justify buying expensive equipment. There are some neat tools out there besides a sprayer. There's a small, hand pumped unit that looks like the old time bug sprayers. Canister with a pump handle on one end and a nozzle on the other.
Another tool I saw, but can't find for purchase is a small box with a crank on the side. It's filled with compound, turn the crank and thick wires throw the splatter out the "shute". Saw both on commercial jobs where I was on the touch up crew. Anyone know of these items?
The best way to cover dry wall repairs is to skim coat the entire wall first and then re-texture. That way you'll have an even surface and the walls will look new again.

text: I'm new to this but from what I've read, I can't argue with anything posted on this topic. I recently bought what I was able to, a Grizzly 9 X 19 and their mini-mill. I choose Grizzly over Harbor Freight because a 4 jaw chuck was included. Of course like everyone else I would like bigger stuff, but my workshop is quite small and weight was a factor too. The lathe had a shipping weight of 300 lbs. , but uncrated I suspect it weighs about the same as H.F.s' - 230 lbs. Anyway, it's small enough I could move it and place it by myself. Both machines were delivered for just under $1500.
