Bad News for Fiesta Good News For Cotton?
Following yesterday's release of that damning, mammoth report about all flavor of fiscal shenanigans at the Fiesta Bowl, the question immediately became: Well, what about the Cotton Bowl taking its place in the BCS rotation? But Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports explained, initially, Not so fast:
If there is an immediate bowl replacement it would likely be in the western U.S. (same as the Fiesta), have a Big 12 tie-in (same as the Fiesta) and have an ESPN affiliation (same as the BCS). That seems to eliminate, for now, the Cotton Bowl, a favorite mentioned elsewhere on Tuesday. While Cotton officials were privately encouraged by the news, the bowl still has three years to go on its contract with Fox. ESPN has the BCS rights for the next three years as well.
But this morning, a source tells CBS that it just might have a shot after all -- depending upon whether the Cotton Bowl can get out of its contract with FOX.
The Cotton Bowl would have "no problem" taking a spot in the BCS rotation if the Fiesta Bowl is kicked out, a source told CBSSports.com Wednesday morning. ... It is thought that Cotton Bowl sponsor AT&T could be involved in the transition process. Also, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would most likely support the move because his palace, Cowboys Stadium, is involved. That revelation makes the Cotton the overwhelming favorite if the Fiesta is kicked out.

Chuck D, RZA, Shavo Odadjian, Page Hamilton, Angelo Moore and SceneFour "Come Together" at Andrew Weiss Gallery
Shavo Odadjian stands in front of Shavo Odadjian in Nocturnal Art
Keith Plocek
"They put me next to Dali, and I'm like, Yeah!" said System of a Down's Shavo Odadjian, standing between Salvador Dali's Triumphant Elephant and his own Nocturnal Art. Odadjian's work featured the Armenian genocide on one side and the artist on-stage on the other. Up at the top was a heavenly image, Odadjian's version of the future to complete his past and present.
As with many of the other "Come Together" paintings on display last night at Andrew Weiss Gallery, the musician was central to the image. Odadjian's work was created in collaboration with SceneFour, just like the paintings by Wu Tang Clan's RZA, Public Enemy's Chuck D, Helmet's Page Hamilton, Fishbone's Angelo Moore and DJ Qbert, and they all featured the same crisp, signature look.
Chuck D's Before I Get to Arizona
Keith Plocek
Standing outside the gallery to escape the heat from the crowd, Chuck D chatted with fans about politics, letting them know current woes will pass. "Governments come and governments go," he said. "Nothing ever lasts 500 years." This Buddhist-like sense of calm was in contrast to the timeliness of his painting, which commented directly on SB1070, Arizona's recent anti-immigration law.
The works in "Come Together" came about when SceneFour partners Cory Danziger and Ravi Dosaj decided to merge the worlds of music and visual art, and each Giclée print was customized by the musician before being hung among the gallery's Dalis and Chagalls. The show runs through November 1.
Frankie "Kash" Waddy
Keith Plocek
One musician who didn't feature his own visage was Frankie "Kash" Waddy, drummer for Parliament Funkadelic. His two works contained fluid strokes and an undeniable sense of rhythm. "I made those in the dark," he said, pointing at one particularly bouncy set of lines. We had no trouble believing him.

Controversial rule change will ensure youth safety
Pop Warner, the worlds largest youth football, cheerleading and dance organization in the world, according to the organizations website, implemented a rule last week that has some banging their heads.
The recently implemented rule calls for lighter practices, by which head-on collisions between players are less likely a move that is controversial, but long overdue.
The rule calls for less contact, ruling out contact for two-thirds of youth football practices to be exact. According to the New York Times, the rule may affect hundreds of thousands of youth football players many of whom will eventually move on to play at collegiate and professional levels.
Some question what this rule will do to the integrity of the popular American sport and pastime.
However, with recent studies about the advanced brain damage resulting from the sport, it seems that putting the safety of the adolescent players is far more important than the semantics of the game.
According to the Times, the results of the research and safety threats will not go unnoticed by Pop Warner. In fact, Jon Butler, executive director the organization, noted that the research would continue to be a determining factor in rules regarding safety for the organization and rightly so.
New research proves that the collisions suffered during youth, college and NFL practices can cause brain damage that has symptoms resembling Alzheimers disease. The media has recently focused on the adverse affects of hard hits to the head on professional football players.
As medical research becomes more prominent and advanced, it has become clear that collisions, particularly during the adolescent years, can be accompanied by some of the similar brain damaging effects as college and NFL players have experienced. For young developing brains, the stakes are even higher.
Pop Warner cites players as young as five years old participating in their organization. This is all the more reason for Pop Warner to be following in suit with the NFL and NCAA, calling for stricter regulations on heavy contact both on and off the game field.
With this knowledge, Pop Warner has made the correct move in protecting its players. Under the mission statement of Pop Warner, it is provided that one of the important goals of this organization is to ensure a safe and positive playing environment for all participants.
Sticking to this objective of a safe environment for the athletes is imperative for the success of the organization and its mission to promote athleticism and scholarship simultaneously in those who participate. Pop Warners executives are taking the research and results quite seriously, hence the new rule.
It is refreshing to see an organization putting the safety of their athletes first in spite of any controversy that may follow.

Sheila Dikshit justifies hike in power tariff
New Delhi: Under attack from BJP and Arvind Kejriwal`s Aam Admi Party for hike in power tariff, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday sought to justify the increase and said bills have gone up due to 24-hour electricity supply.
"People will try to instigate you saying that these bills are inflated. But I would say you one cannot compare bills for 24 hour power supply to that of 8 hours supply," Dikshit said after inaugurating a road project in Ballimaran area.
Last month Dikshit had said people should cut power consumption on various electrical appliances if they cannot afford high electricity tariff, a prescription that had evoked sharp criticism.
Rejecting criticism of increase in tariff, the Chief Minister said her government has ensured round-the-clock power supply in the city which used to witness eight to nine-hour- long power cuts.
"There are a lot of youths here who don`t even know that there used to be eight to 9-hour-long power outages in Delhi. We had decided to fix the problem and we have succeeded in it by ensuring 24 hour power availability to people of Delhi," Dikshit said.
The power tariff in the city was hiked by 22 per cent in 2011 followed by five per cent hike in February last year. The tariff was hiked by up to two per cent in May last year and again by 26 per cent for domestic consumers in July last year. The tariff was hiked by up to three per cent last month. The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission is again considering a hike in tariff.
AAP leader Kejriwal is on an indefinite fast for last seven days protesting "inflated" power and water bills. He has been asking people not to pay the bills.
The Delhi BJP has also upped the ante against Dikshit, alleging that power tariff in the city was being hiked frequently at her "behest".
Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel has already announced that tariff will be cut by 30 per cent if the party comes to power in assembly polls scheduled to be held in November.

The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve. Digital Transformation means: handling all the data types being found and created in the organizat...

Cardiff have completed the signing of defender John Brayford from Derby on a four-year contract.
The Bluebirds had already agreed a fee for the 25-year-old, believed to be around the £1.5million mark, and the formalities of the deal have been quickly wrapped up.
Brayford told Cardiff City Player: "When I heard Cardiff were interested in signing me then I was obviously very interested, especially at the prospect of playing in the Premier League and testing myself at the highest level.
"Derby will always be a special club to me, but this was an opportunity I couldn't ignore."
The former Crewe and Burton player made 117 appearances for Derby after making the move to Pride Park in 2010. He made 43 appearances under Nigel Clough in the Championship last term.

Qeauty and the books: a response to Lewis's quantum sleeping beauty problem

In his 2007 paper "Quantum Sleeping Beauty", Peter Lewis poses a problem for the supporters' of the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics appeal to subjective probability. Lewis's argument hinges on parallels between the traditional "sleeping beauty" problem in epistemology and a quantum variant. These two cases, Lewis argues, advocate different treatments of credences even though they share important epistemic similarities, leading to a tension between the traditional solution to the sleeping beauty problem (typically called the "thirder" solution) and Everettian quantum mechanics. In this paper I examine the metaphysical and epistemological differences between Lewis's two cases, and, in particular, I show how diachronic Dutch book arguments support both the thirder solution in the traditional case and the Everettian's solution in the variant case. These Dutch books, I argue, reveal an important disanalogy between Lewis's two cases such that Lewis's argument does not reveal an inconsistency in either the Everettian's or the thirder's assignment of credences.

text: Tom Wolf Call For Compromise On Property Tax Relief In Budget Impasse By Mary Wilson • Jul 29, 2015 In a state budget stalemate with few compromises, a left-leaning think tank says focusing on property tax relief could prompt some bipartisan agreement. Gov. Tom Wolf made his pitch to offer property tax relief central to his proposed budget. In May, the state House passed a GOP-crafted proposal with bipartisan backing. It included the kind of broad-based tax increases Republican leaders now say they can't support. Turzai Says He'll Look To Wolf's Override Budget Veto If Talks Don't Yield Consensus By Mary Wilson • Jul 28, 2015 The top House Republican says he'll try to override the governor's budget veto if negotiations don't starting yielding consensus. "We have to look at overriding if we're not going to have a substantive discussion," said House Speaker Mike Turzai, during his appearance at the Harrisburg Press Club luncheon on Monday. Turzai said an override should be the "goal" of the GOP-controlled Legislature, though he's not sure if such a move would have the votes to pass. Minor Parties Get Win In PA Ballot-Access Lawsuit By Marc Levy | The Associated Press • Jul 24, 2015 A federal court is throwing out provisions in Pennsylvania law that minor political parties say make it unconstitutionally difficult for their candidates to get onto ballots. The ruling released Friday by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Stengel targets the financial penalties that judges can impose on candidates for office who lose a challenge to their nomination papers, but he's also striking down the state's higher signature requirement for the nomination papers of minor party candidates. Wolf Names Isenhour As New Chief Of Staff By Mary Wilson • Jul 23, 2015 Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday said goodbye and good luck to his chief of staff for the past six months and turned to his legislative liaison, Mary Isenhour, to step in as his top aide. Katie McGinty resigned Wednesday and is expected to launch a bid for U.S. Senate in 2016 after being courted intensively by national Democrats. She would not confirm Thursday that she intends to run. McGinty Steps Down As Wolf's Top Aide, Expected To Launch Senate Bid By Mary Wilson • Jul 23, 2015 AP Photo/Jacqueline Larma, File Katie McGinty, chief of staff to Gov. Tom Wolf, is stepping down, reportedly to prepare for an announcement of her candidacy for U.S. Senate in 2016. Wolf's spokesman said McGinty submitted her resignation Wednesday, first reported by the National Journal. She has been considering a U.S. Senate run for the past few weeks. McGinty's departure comes as Wolf is still trying to hammer out a budget agreement with a GOP-controlled Legislature. But a feud with Senate Republicans has smoldered for months since she took a shot at their proposal to change public pension benefits in May. Wolf Says He's Ready To Compromise, But Republicans Aren't So Sure By Mark Nootbaar • Jul 20, 2015 Reid Frazier / The Allegheny Front Gov. Tom Wolf said he would be "willing to have conversations" about compromises on the 5 percent severance tax on natural gas he's proposed to balance the state budget. "I'm willing to have conversations," Wold told reporters while touring Big Beaver Elementary School in Darlington on Monday. "I want a better Pennsylvania. If I'm convinced we can have a better Pennsylvania with something better than what I've proposed, then I'm all ears." Wolf Offers Little Insight Into His Pension Position By Mary Wilson • Jul 10, 2015 Gene J. Puskar / AP Photo Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf isn't ruling out a switch to 401(k)-style retirement plans for future state and school employees. "I think we can actually come up with a pension plan that's fair to employees and that meets the concerns that have been expressed by taxpayers," said Wolf when asked if he could sign such a proposal. With End Of 'Payless Paydays,' Budget Stalemate Could Stretch On By Mary Wilson • Jul 9, 2015 AP Photo/Chris Knight Some see the state Capitol deadlock over a state budget as political dysfunction or theatre. But it's also a social experiment: this is the year Pennsylvanians will see how a court decision ending "payless paydays" affects the budget negotiations. No 'Illusions' Of Progress In PA Budget Talks By Mary Wilson • Jul 7, 2015 One week after Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a GOP budget curtailing the state's authority to spend money, negotiations over a new plan are at a standstill. A Tuesday meeting between Republicans and the governor appeared to yield no progress toward the middle on a mix of tax proposals offered by Wolf and opposed by the GOP-controlled Legislature. Wolf Vetoes GOP's Liquor Privatization By Mary Wilson • Jul 2, 2015 Gov. Tom Wolf has let fly another veto of a major Republican priority – the privatization of the state-run liquor system. In a written statement Thursday, Wolf said he doesn't want to sell a state asset before it reaches its full money-making potential: "This legislation falls short of a responsible means to reform our state liquor system and to maximize revenues to benefit our citizen." Steve Miskin, House GOP spokesman, called the move disappointing. Gov. Wolf Stands Firm on Budget, But Says He's Keeping An 'Open Mind' By Mark Nootbaar • Jul 2, 2015 AP Photo/Chris Knight Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf says even though formal budget negotiations will not begin until Monday morning, he and his staff will be busy over the holiday weekend. The Democratic governor rejected the budget passed by the Republican-controlled House and Senate, leaving the state without a spending plan as of Wednesday. He said both sides have put down their markers. With No PA Budget In Place, What Now? By Mary Wilson • Jul 2, 2015 Late budgets aren't the statewide shock they used to be. Sure, the commonwealth loses the authority to make certain payments. Standoffs in the '70s, '80s and '90s meant thousands of state workers went unpaid. But recent court rulings say the state has to pay its employees' salaries. Other critical services will have to be funded as well. "I don't think people should be terribly panicked or concerned," said Christopher Craig, chief counsel to the state Treasurer. "It will take quite some for any real impact to be noticeable." Republicans And Democrats Entrench Quickly On Budget Fight By Mark Nootbaar • Jul 1, 2015 AP Photo/Chris Knight The war of rhetoric has begun in earnest in Harrisburg over the state budget. This week, the Republican controlled House and Senate approved a balanced $30 billion budget that was quickly vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf Tuesday. Wolf, who is a Democrat, said the budget is based on gimmicks and lacks fiscal integrity. Wolf Seeks To Restart Talks After Vetoing GOP's Budget Bill By The Associated Press • Jul 1, 2015 AP Photo/Chris Knight Pennsylvania's Democratic governor is inviting legislative leaders to meet in his Capitol offices, a day after the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed a state budget he vetoed. Gov. Tom Wolf said he hopes the Wednesday afternoon meeting will restart negotiations over a spending plan for the fiscal year that has just begun. Gov. Wolf Vetoes GOP's Entire Budget Bill By Mary Wilson • Jun 30, 2015 AP Photo/Chris Knight Gov. Tom Wolf has vetoed the entire GOP-crafted budget package sent to him Tuesday. The governor announced his plans shortly after the bill passed the Republican-controlled Legislature Friday night. He has pointed out that the spending blueprint lacks his top priorities — a new tax on the natural gas industry, for starters. On Tuesday, Wolf said the budget also lacks basic fiscal integrity. Gov. Wolf Applauds Same-Sex Marriage Ruling By Mark Nootbaar & The Associated Press • Jun 26, 2015 Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is applauding the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, but says state lawmakers should follow up by passing a law to protect people against discrimination based on their sexual or gender preference. Wolf said in a statement Friday that the high court's 5-4 decision makes clear that "gay marriage" is now simply marriage and same-sex couples cannot be denied the pursuit of happiness. GOP Preps A No-Tax Budget, Daring Wolf To Veto By Mary Wilson • Jun 25, 2015 Lindsay Lazarski / Keystone Crossroads The centerpiece of Gov. Tom Wolf's state budget died its umpteenth death around a negotiating table this week. Republican legislative leaders emerged from closed-door negotiations with the Democratic Wolf administration to announce that the governor's proposed severance tax on natural gas drillers is a non-negotiable no-go. PA Budget Talks Turn Sour As Both Sides Dig In By Mary Wilson • Jun 23, 2015 AP Photo/Matt Rourke The tentative optimism about a timely state budget is giving way to partisan backbiting as lawmakers enter the last week before their deadline to approve a state spending plan. Gov. Tom Wolf and the GOP-controlled Legislature appear to be stuck, both sides unwilling to compromise major priorities tied up with the state's spending plan due June 30. Wolf Administration Forms Pipeline Task Force By Casey Chafin • Jun 22, 2015 AP Photo/Andrew Rush Although Pennsylvania has experienced a recent boom in natural gas production, many wells have no direct connection to the main infrastructure of pipelines. The Wolf administration has created the Pipeline Infrastructure Task Force (PITF), to oversee the fulfillment of the demand for connecting pipelines. Wolf To Seek New Nominee For State Police Commissioner By Marc Levy | The Associated Press • Jun 15, 2015 AP Photo/Marc Levy Gov. Tom Wolf said Monday that he will seek a new nominee to become the Pennsylvania State Police commissioner and replace his first choice, who was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate in what the Democratic governor called a move that put politics above the state's best interests. Col. Marcus Brown, a former Maryland State Police superintendent, withdrew his name from consideration, Wolf's office said in a statement. Wolf Promises To Appeal Ruling On Open Records Firing By Mary Wilson • Jun 10, 2015 Gov. Tom Wolf is vowing to appeal a court ruling reversing his dismissal of the director of the state's Office of Open Records, the latest counter-punch in a months-long legal dispute over the independence of the agency and the powers of the governor. The Commonwealth Court ruling reinstates Erik Arneson to his post as executive director of the agency. It also awards him back-pay. Wolf Pulls Brown From Consideration To Lead State Police By Mark Nootbaar • Jun 8, 2015 AP Photo/Marc Levy Gov. Tom Wolf has pulled the nomination of Marcus Brown to lead the Pennsylvania State Police. The Senate was to vote this week on Brown's nomination. Last week a committee sent the nomination to the full body without making a recommendation. Republicans Balk At Wolf's Second Death Row Reprieve By Megan Harris • Jun 5, 2015 Gov. Tom Wolf issued a temporary stay of execution on Thursday for convicted killer Hubert Lester Michael, who was set to die the next day. It's the governor's second intervention since he took office. He promised in February to grant a reprieve to any inmate whose execution date comes before the results of the newly established Pennsylvania Task Force and Advisory Committee on Capital Punishment are published. Turning Up The Budget Heat In Harrisburg By Mary Wilson • Jun 4, 2015 AP Photo/Matt Rourke A state budget deadline looms at the end of the month, but Gov. Tom Wolf and Republican lawmakers remain divided on a spending plan. Entities that rely on the state for funding have cautioned about the headaches caused by lengthy budget standoffs. But Wolf says he's not resigned to a late state budget. Wolf Pick For Police Chief Fields Senators' Tough Questions By Marc Levy | The Associated Press • Jun 3, 2015 AP Photo/Marc Levy Gov. Tom Wolf's choice to lead the Pennsylvania State Police responded to a battery of questions Wednesday from Republican senators who, like the troopers' union, want the Democratic governor to withdraw Col. Marcus Brown as his nominee, while a Democrat accused Brown's detractors of opposing the integration of the overwhelmingly white force. More Of Wolf's Cabinet Nominees Get Confirmed By Senate By The Associated Press • Jun 2, 2015 More of Gov. Tom Wolf's Cabinet members are removing the word "acting" from their title. The Senate on Tuesday unanimously confirmed Human Services Secretary Ted Dallas, Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Dunn and Banking and Securities Secretary Robin Wiessmann. It voted 31-18 to confirm State Secretary Pedro Cortes. Gov. Wolf Seeks State Authority Over Health Insurance Marketplace By Marc Levy | The Associated Press • Jun 2, 2015 AP Photo/Keith Srakocic, File Gov. Tom Wolf's administration said Tuesday it has formally applied to take over the operation of Pennsylvania's health insurance marketplace as the Democrat seeks a bulwark against the potential loss of health insurance subsidies for hundreds of thousands of state residents. Corman Defends Pension Bill, Says Wolf's Budget Lacks Votes By The Associated Press • May 15, 2015 Gov. Tom Wolf may not like a Senate GOP plan to overhaul pension benefits for public school and state government employees, but Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman warns that Wolf's budget plan has zero votes among the chamber's Republicans. Corman made the comments Friday on WITF-FM's show "Smart Talk." The House has scheduled a June 4 hearing on the bill, which was fast-tracked through the Senate without a hearing. Senate Democrats opposed it. Wolf Breaks Silence On His Ideas For Fixing Underfunded Municipal Pensions By Emily Previti | Keystone Crossroads • May 15, 2015 AP Photo/Matt Rourke Gov. Tom Wolf announced a four-person task force focused on municipal pensions – and suggested some tactics they might consider when deciding what to recommend. Wolf had yet to say during his five months in office what, specifically, he thinks municipalities should do to deal with retirement systems underfunded by an estimated $7.7 billion. House To Approve Property Tax Relief Plan By Mary Wilson • May 13, 2015 State House lawmakers are expected to take a final vote Wednesday approving a property tax relief plan similar to what Governor Tom Wolf proposed. Like the governor's plan, it would seek higher sales and personal income taxes in order to give Pennsylvanians a break on property taxes. The plan would not target extra relief to cities and poor school districts – something Wolf wants to do. The measure attracted Democratic leaders, like caucus whip, Rep. Mike Hanna (D-Clinton), and divided the chamber's Republican majority. Pages1 2 3 4 5 next › last »

Best Gallery Show -- Group
The three well-known artists in Martha Daniels, Amy Metier, Betty Woodman represent three distinct generations of Colorado artists, even if the show's title listed them out of order. Woodman is the elder stateswoman, having lived in Boulder from the 1950s until a few years ago, when she retired to New York. Daniels came next, having moved to Colorado in the 1960s when she began exhibiting her work. Metier would be last, since she came along about a decade later. But the disparate work of these three artists fit together perfectly -- not because they're all women, though that's not irrelevant -- because all are master colorists. This compatibility, so hard to achieve in a group show, is a big reason this exhibit was one of the year's finest.

Supermarkets Tackle Emissions Reductions, Fuel Efficiency
Supermarkets are taking different roads to efficiency like Star Market in Massachusetts, aimed at reducing emissions, and Brookshire Grocery in Texas, which is addressing fleet efficiency.
Star Market Newton, Mass., is the first grocery store in the U.S. to receive the Environmental Protection Agency's GreenChill Partnership platinum store award, thanks to its advanced refrigeration technology that cuts the use of refrigerants by 85 percent compared to a typical supermarket, reports Environmental Design+Construction.
EPA estimates that if every U.S. supermarket joined GreenChill it would prevent 22 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and 240 tons of ozone-depleting substances annually, according to the article. It would also save $108 million in refrigerant costs each year.
Addressing fleet efficiency, Brookshire Grocery is implementing the Xatanet fleet operations software platform from Xata to help the supermarket monitor and manage the performance of its trucking fleet, reports Supermarket News. The implementation will be completed by the end of November.
Brookshire Grocery has 75 vehicles.

Supermarkets waste over 10 percent of their energy through improper training of associates. Over-stocking shelving, leaving doors open, ignoring malfunctioning controls and leaving equipment running all add up to big energy bills and lost profitability. Our methodology instills the right training by teaching associates how to cut the waste (Energy Shrink (R) and measures (environmentally and monetarily) the improvement in a way consistent with industry correct metrics… It's important to get the low-hanging fruit and this is the fruit that's fallen to the ground!

This serum aims to reduce signs of aging around the eyes (everyone's most beloved part of getting older!) and protect from ozone damage. Does it work? We put it to the test.
What does it claim to do?
Growing up I always assumed my figure would be the first to go, so as I've aged I got a half pleasant/half rude awakening that while I can still fit into my riot grrrl band shirts from high school, my skin is already showing fine lines and blotchiness - curse my weak Irish genetics! The New Zealand environment is not particularly kind to even the hardiest of complexions, so this Estee Lauder serum is one way to defend yourself.
It's described as a super potent, fast-penetrating eye serum which helps significantly inhibit ozone damage and dramatically reduces the look of every key visible sign of aging. As well as reducing wrinkles, it also targets puffiness, dark circles and uneven skin tone. The serum even boasts over 20 patents worldwide, so it's kind of like the iPod of eye creams in terms of whiz bang technological hijinks.
What does it actually do?
This is a very nice eye serum (as you'd expect for the price - it's $121.) It's extremely lightweight and sinks in almost instantly so you can layer another eye cream on top of it if you also need heavier artillery in your beauty arsenal. It has a pleasant cooling sensation upon application (remember those days of sticking cucumbers on your eyes to play beauty parlour?) And as claimed I did notice the very, very welcome sight of a smoother appearance around my eyes.
The verdict
For those of us raging against the crinkling of our eyes this is one way to protect them from the harsh city environment and reverse some of the damage. I'd give it five stars.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Infusion, $121, available from Estee Lauder counters.

Comments by Douglas Wolfe
The fact that even Vance had to read him the (mild) riot act says it all. McGee comes off as an entitled spoiled little child. His petulant remark to Tony "hurts, doesn't it?" is so girly he needs to have someone braid his hair.
The actor is known as A Martinez. His full name is Adolfo Larrue Martinez III.
"Terrorist brushes his teeth; film at 11:00." Our NCIS Round Table for this episode is now up. Be sure to chime in on the questions for yourself: http://www.tvfanatic.com/2015/...
I agree - it was creepy and gross. But terrorizing? Maybe it would have been to someone. Not me though.
Thanks you - that makes sense. What doesn't yet make sense though, is why they brought it up at all. The connection was powerful enough to cause them both to stumble, but then, after that.....nothing. No mention of it since. It's like they introduced it then dropped it. I'm sure they were intending to go somewhere with it, but.....
Man, I am *so* looking forward to seeing this!
What did this "formerly mentally ill person" expect from Sarah? Why did he ask to see her? To explain himself? That's easily done through a letter. He wanted her forgiveness and felt he could only get that if he explained himself face to face so that she could see the sincerity in his eyes. There are some things people do in this world that cannot be forgiven by their victims. Killing Sarah's entire family and especially her little brother qualifies as one of those things. Sure maybe she hurt him, but he kind of asked for it in inviting her to the prison in the first place.
Yes and no. Yes, I'm glad they're not writing him as the team clown anymore. No, I don't like the fact that he's not being shown as the seasoned agent we know him to be. Other than that, it's a coin toss - and I'm waiting to see how the rest of the season goes.

Manager Peter Houston is discussing a new contract after successfully leading Dundee United back into Europe next season.
Houston has been in charge since replacing Craig Levein at Tannadice in December 2009 and chairman Stephen Thompson naturally wants his future resolved sooner rather than later.
He memorably helped them to their glorious Scottish Cup triumph the following year and managed top-four finishes in the table in each of his three seasons in charge.
The Scotland assistant-manager is the current longest-serving boss in the SPL and told the Daily Record: "My contract is up next season. We`ve had tentative talks and there will be more at some stage."

Product description
Learn How to Look Through Life's Tragedies and See the Lavish Blessings God Has For You! "Shattered dreams," writes Dr. Larry Crabb, "are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream." To help you understand this neglected truth in the deepest and most helpful way, author and counselor Larry Crabb has written a wise, hopeful, honest, and realistic examination of life's difficulties and tragedies. He wraps insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible's book of Ruth. As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, we are shown how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And we gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to release better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those He loves. Shattered dreams have the power to change our lives for good. Forever.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Selim El Zyr told me several years ago that in pursuing a career in hotels, he has always sought to follow his father's advice: "you can be anything you want, but be the best at your chosen profession". Driven by passionate ambition and a vision to succeed, tempered by a patient nature and the willingness to learn from mistakes, as the co-founder, president and CEO of Rotana Hotel Management Corporation PJSC, El Zyr has ridden out economic storms and regional crises to sign close to 100 hotels. He's taken the Abu Dhabi-based hotel group throughout the Middle East and entered Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe, proving that local management can operate at international standards.
El Zyr was the first ever hotelier to score the top spot in the Hotelier Middle East Power 50 in 2009 and since then he has remained in one of the top six positions — in the esteemed company of peers with the backing of large international hotel institutions. El Zyr has always been on top of trends, focusing on offering a diversified brand portfolio when global companies are still yet to bring much-needed midscale and budget hotels to the market, and targeting a broad range of guests with both business-oriented city hotels and leisure resorts. He's taken the brand to emerging markets, launched a loyalty programme, made in-roads with online and mobile bookings, focused on accessible, authentic and entertaining F&B options and most recently, in 2013, launched Rotana Earth, a full-scale sustainability drive. It's fair to assume that he made his father proud.
But now, at the very peak of his career, El Zyr has made the bold decision to step down as CEO. With executive vice president and chief operating officer Omer Kaddouri waiting in the wings and ready to take the mantle on January 1, the company is in safe hands, but there is no question that this is the end of an era for Rotana. Colleagues I've spoken with have expressed their sadness at the departure and while El Zyr will still sit on the board, there will be a new decision maker in the hot seat. But with all endings comes a new chapter and as El Zyr prepares to start his new year with gusto, I paid a visit to Rotana's new HQ in Abu Dhabi's Capital Centre to look back on two decades of learning and a dream delivered — and find out why 2014 is the time for change.
Starting small
One reason El Zyr inspires so many is because of his background holding hands-on roles in operations. A Lebanese national, he says he knew he wanted to be a hotelier since he first stepped into a hotel in 1964. He started his first job as a chief steward at the Waldorf-Astoria New York. In 1973 he came to Abu Dhabi with just a couple of thousand dirhams to his name, inspired by Ahmad Nahas who was the area vice president at that time for Hilton. A 12-year career with Hilton ensued, followed by a brief stint founding fast food chain Juicy Burger in Lebanon in 1982, before returning to the UAE with Abu Dhabi National Hotels. While successful working with others, El Zyr was aware there was a significant gap in the Middle East hotel market; one that he felt compelled to fill.
"I discovered that there is a gap between global companies — what they promise and what they deliver. And the gap was with the developers, who did not understand what to expect from a management company. There was a cultural gap, there was an expectation gap, there was a communications gap," he recalls.
With life-long friend Nasser Al Nowais, chairman of Rotana, El Zyr created Rotana to bridge this gap and align the expectations of developer and operator, a principle that remains core to the company today. Even at the outset, the "initial agenda" was to compete with international operators, and so great time and care was taken to create, write and record thousands of policies. Nothing was copied or compiled from the expertise of others.
"One person had to write everything, do everything," says El Zyr. "Our objective was to build an institution. There has been bumps and barriers but from day one, we started putting one brick in every day to build this wall.

At the moment, I am spreading the idea of hospitality
exchange across this little planet - people, open your
homes to strangers and meet other people!! :-) ==>
Same idea as this site, but started 4 years before (in 2000), 100,000s of members, not as US/Anglo-centric as CS. We all work together in a large team of volunteers.
I love traveling and hitchhiking, politics, work with exchange students, Indonesian clove cigarettes, ... - more about me on my personal homepage http://www.veit.net

[Sorry if it takes me a long time to add you as a friend, and the description isn't that great - it's a bit too much hassle writing a good comment here. I DO try to write good comments on HC though ;-)]
Have stayed with wonderful people all over the world, and that's why I started the Hospitality Club - to give everyone the possibility to experience the same hospitality I experienced.
If you like the idea of hospitality exchange, please check out the club - especially if you travel anywhere out of North America (Europe, Asia, South America) you will find many more members there than here on CS.
