LOS ANGELES — It is Academy Awards weekend in the nation's entertainment capital, and the 1 percenters are out in force. Wealth displays are running riot; robust consumption is the philosophical standard.
I am staying at the legendary Hotel Bel-Air, a place where a cheeseburger and fries costs more than $30. Business is good. For most guests, money is no concern. They have it; they spend it. Life for the swells is sweet – or at least they want you to think it is.
President Obama has little use for these wealthy people, but strangely, many of them fervently love him for despising their circumstances. Unlike Bill Clinton, who couldn't get enough West Coast "hospitality," Obama takes their political donations and gets out of town faster than Wile E. Coyote. He knows show business is a shallow pit where almost everyone is disposable.
Above all, the president is a social justice man. And despite all the liberal celebrity blather, social justice is not exactly a top priority in the elegant salons of Beverly Hills, where hair treatments can run a thousand bucks. It must be hard for the president to cozy up to people who spend $20,000 on a weekend vacation after his experience in the South Side of Chicago. True compassion for the underprivileged must extend further than celebrity fundraisers at Spago, and the president knows it.
It is certainly difficult for good, selfless people to defend the excesses of capitalism, and Obama has capitalized on the resentment. He has seized the greed to fund his dream of a level playing field by demanding the wealthy pay "their fair share." The president is going to take as much money from the affluent as he can before he leaves office. He has turned the White House into Sherwood Forest – taxing the rich and redistributing the cash to the less well off.
But the unintended consequences of the money grab have escaped the president. The folks who drive the economy don't trust him. Banks continue to sit on billions in cash that could be loaned to expand the economy. Many small-business owners are actually cutting back their payrolls because of the massive ObamaCare regulations.
So instead of encouraging the private marketplace to create opportunities for Americans, Obama is actually strangling upward mobility. This defeats his purpose of economic justice, and the rising debt he is championing may, in the end, crush the underclass.
All of this is far too complicated for many show-biz types to absorb. It is much easier to feel than to think. And they feel much better about their $100,000 cars when they cheer for the social justice president.
But like Hollywood itself, America's current fiscal situation is primarily smoke and mirrors. And believe me, there is no wizard behind the curtain.

Many churches do not practice infant baptisms, because they believe that in the Bible baptism is taught to be something done after a person chooses to follow Christ.
As an alternative, many of those churches practice "baby dedications". A baby dedication is not a baptism (there is no water involved). It's more like a public pledge by the parents to raise their babies in the Lord.
Is there any Biblical basis or precedent for this practice?

The Belgium international has proved to be one of the signings of the season after scoring 15 goals for Villa since his £8million switch from Genk.
Benteke has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur as a result of his impressive form, although Villa manager Paul Lambert has warned clubs will have to dig deep to sign the 22-year-old.
The forward's representative Eris Kismet is not ruling out a summer sale if every party is happy and is not surprised other clubs are showing an interest in Benteke.
"It is normal that if you go to a club and do well, then other clubs will show an interest," said Kismet in the Daily Telegraph.
"Christian has shown that he can play in England so why not take the step up to the next level if the opportunity is there?
"At the end of the season, interested clubs will talk to Villa, but it has to be right for Villa, the buying club and Christian.
"If all three parties are agreeable, something could happen, but right now his focus is on Villa, helping them stay in the Premier League."

Value Proposition
Demonstrated Success.
Augustana is priced, on average, $10,928 lower than a representative group of selective colleges in the Upper Midwest with whom we overlap in applications for first-year student admission (identified in the above graph). Among these colleges and universities that claim similar outcomes relative to graduate and professional school admission and job placement, Augustana provides exceptional academic quality and the best value.
2014 Augustana graduates with federal loans carry average indebtedness of $26,428.
See the claims we make and the evidence to support them.
Explore. Discover. Create. Go Viking.
At Augustana, we believe certain individuals are called to "Go Viking."
It's an idea that means much more than the age-old notion of sailing off in search of trade and plunder. To "Go Viking" means to be venturesome ... to explore, discover, create, and pursue bold concepts and important endeavors today in order to make tomorrow even better. The Augustana Vikings have been, and will always be, those who aspire for more than the ordinary; those who are committed to making our world a better place through their scholarly work, creative expression and service to church and community.
National Recognition
Augustana is a place where imaginations are fired and intellects are engaged, which contributes to why we consistently receive national recognition for academic excellence in rankings:
November 2014 —
Augustana ranks high in both academics and athletics in the 12th annual NCSA Athletic Recruiting Collegiate Power Rankings.

Among the regional colleges listed in the "Best Value Schools" study, Augustana is ranked No. 2 in the Midwest.
August 2014 —
Augustana is ranked the No. 11 baccalaureate college in the nation, according to a recent report from Washington Monthly. The publication's "2014 College Ranking" rates 346 baccalaureate institutions based on their contribution to the public good in three areas — social mobility: recruiting and graduating low-income students; research: producing cutting-edge scholars and Ph.D.s; and service: encouraging students to give something back to their country.
August 2014 —
Augustana is ranked among the best colleges in the Midwest, according to the nationally known education services company, The Princeton Review.

A memorial service at Fort Bliss will be held next week for a Texas A&M graduate who died during a training exercise last week.
The Army and the A&M Association of Former Students reports Sgt. Graham Woody was killed Friday when the armed vehicle he was in rolled at the Ana Dona range complex.
A member of the Aggie Class of 2008 with a degree in engineering technology, the 27-year-old was part of the Third Brigade, First Armored Division. He served in the A&M Corps of Cadets as part of Company N-1.
"He would be the poster child of the Army: good looking, clean cut, all-American boy that was always waving the American flag and would do anything for anybody," said Don Armstrong, a Woody family spokesperson, to the Association.

In a story broken by our own website:

Luke Cummo wants you to come over to his apartment and flush out your ass
No, I am not joking:Just what is Lifefood Nutritional Fasting? It's another crackpot concept by Luke Cummo's retard nutritionist Dr Jubb. Who the fuck is Dr Jubb? Here's a few choice quotes about him:
"I'm also taking applications for people who want to stay in my apartment building for 5-14 days to do personal training and Lifefood Nutritional Fasting."
David Jubb, PhD, is a well known Raw Foodist from New York City. He is originally from Australia, and he claimed at the time to be a "Breatharian." At the time of this interview in November of 2002 he was telling people that he had not eaten anything for like 6 years or something like that. Personally, I doubted his story completely, and from what I heard from other people, it just was not so.
And here's another story about Jubb:-
The baby son of a urine-drinking East Village health guru to the stars has been taken from his father's care because the dad failed to bring the boy to a doctor for a fractured ankle. Instead, David Jubb treated the 20-month-old's fractures by crafting a brace out of chopsticks.
"He did not follow [Administration for Children's Services] instructions to bring the child to the doctor," said a Family Court source.
I'm all down with Luke Cummo … he's one of my favorite fighters in the UFC because he's such a creepy motherfucker. But his nutritional choices are a bit scary, and I do worry that he's using Dr Jubb's Lifefood plan to feed his newborn, which is terrifying to say the least. Hey, people are allowed to raise their children however they want. I'm just saying don't be surprised when this kid grows up to be a barely five feet tall grey skinned mutant.
An article about Dr. Jubb, by the New York Post. It details his son being taken away from him by the state, basically on charges of neflect:
February 5, 2007 -- The baby son of a urine-drinking East Village health guru to the stars has been taken from his father's care because the dad failed to bring the boy to a doctor for a fractured ankle.
Instead, David Jubb treated the 20-month-old's fractures by crafting a brace out of chopsticks.
"He did not follow [Administration for Children's Services] instructions to bring the child to the doctor," said a Family Court source.
Jubb, who said his devotees include Liv Tyler, Carol Alt and Donna Karan, insists he's being railroaded by the ACS because of his unorthodox views on nutrition.
And his "diet" is indeed different.
Besides drinking his own urine, the Australian native claims he gave up food for years and existed on mostly air and light while practicing "breatharianism," a kooky movement that's considered a hoax by the scientific community.
Jubb is the first to admit, "I'm not your average ham sandwich."
It all began when Jubb, who had full custody, took his son, Dakota, for a supervised visit with his mother, Jennifer Jarosik, at the ACS.
They met there because Jubb has a restraining order against her.
During the Jan. 8 visit, authorities noticed Dakota's swollen ankle. They removed him into foster care two days later, when Jubb still had not brought him in for treatment.
A week after that, the boy was handed over to his mother temporarily, the source said.
"His mother is very unbalanced," Jubb said. She could not be reached for comment.
Jubb, who has a doctorate degree in nutrition, said he didn't take the baby to the doctor because he planned on observing him.
Mary Ann LoFrumento, a pediatrician contacted by The Post, said those type of fractures can look harmless to the naked eye because there might not be much swelling.
"He could've been fooled into thinking it wasn't that serious," she said. Jubb said things also got testy when ACS officials began questioning him about the tot's diet.
"They were saying, 'You're not feeding him,' " Jubb recalled.
He is raising the boy as a "lifefoodarian," which means he doesn't feed him meat, dairy, wheat, certain starches, cooked foods and many conventional proteins.
[email protected]
Some photos of Dr. Jubb:
More of this hilarity can be found here:
Seriously, your kid has a fractured ankle and you craft a brace out of chopsticks?
Not your average ham sandwich indeed. It's good to see that Cummo is keeping good company.

Instead of ordering an impersonal gourmet basket from a national outfit like Harry and David, why not patronize a local business and customize a basket to the tastes of your client, neighbor, office mate or friend? Here are three Philly-area locally owned businesses that do mouth-watering jobs at packaging a gourmet gift basket sure to please.
At the Pennsylvania General Store in the Reading Terminal Market, owners Michael and Julie Holahan showcase some of the best food products in the region, available individually or in gift baskets. Treats include Uncle Jerry's pretzels, Bucks County Coffee, Sweetzel's spiced wafers, Asher's chocolates, Lancaster County saffron and homemade jams and Philly born and raised Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. There's even a basket designed with the Philly sports fan in mind. For $47.97, your pal can cheer on the Eagles while munching on the likes of Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets, Utz Potato Chips, Rosie's Butter Cookies, Asher's Keystone Crunch, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, Uncle Jerry's Hard Pretzels and Mama Lou's Dipping Mustard. You even get an Eagles' bumper sticker as a bonus.
A basket from Chaddsford Winery puts the spotlight on Eric and Lee Miller's award winning wine. Oenophiles will love the $58.99 Craft Cuvee Collection, 2009 vintages made in small lots of 200 cases or less.
At Carlino's in Ardmore, three generations of the Carlino family purvey all kinds of imported Italian goodies. Prices start around $50 for customized gift basket, with the Italian feast one of the most popular combos, at $60-$125. Savor olive oil from the family's hometown in Abruzzi, fresh mozzarella, aged provolone, olives, fresh baked bread and assorted other goodies, including something for the sweet tooth, like Italian biscotti, chocolate or cookies.

Well, we have taken the big plunge.
My wife went to the OB yesterday and we are pregnant with number 5. They did the ultrasound and heard the heartbeat even though we are only about 6 weeks pregnant.
My wife saw a different perinatal doc before we got pregnant and she felt very confident that my wife will not have any issues with PIH as long as she stays on the BP meds. It scares me a little that this is a theory ... and it can only be tested by waiting another 20 some weeks and seeing what happens.
I am feeling confident and have only to look at my sweet little daughter (who is still a plump little ball of smiles) to remind myself that we say some bad stuff last time and still made it through okay.
Well, back to helping her deal with "all day morning sickness" [:)]

BBB honors five organizations for ethicsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan honored four local businesses and one nonprofit for exemplary and ethical business practices at its annual Torch Awards, held Nov. 6 in Perrysburg.
Winners have demonstrated business practices that exemplify ethics, integrity and exceptional customer service and are chosen by an independent panel of volunteer community leaders, based on criteria established by the BBB, said Marilyn Levine, director of the BBB Foundation.
This year's keynote speaker was former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Yvette McGee Brown, the first African-American woman to serve on the state's highest court.
Small business
Coyle Funeral & Cremation Services won in the small business (one to nine employees) category.
Family-owned and operated for 125 years, Coyle is committed to helping families plan, personalize and carry out meaningful end-of-life celebrations for their loved ones, according to information provided for its application. Even after the funeral, the company continues to care for its families, sending a card on the one-year anniversary of the death and offering 24-hour grief services online and memorial candle lighting ceremonies on holidays.
"[The award] is very meaningful because in this room are every deserving family and business," said President Megan Coyle-Stamos. "It's touching. I'm humbled."
Coyle-Stamos is the fifth generation of the Coyle family to lead the business and several employees have been with the company for more than 30 years. The company is also involved in community service, particularly with Cell Phones for Soldiers, for which it has collected more than 2,500 phones.
The funeral home is located at 1770 S. Reynolds Road in Toledo. For more information, call (419) 865-1295 or visit www.coylefuneralhome.com.

"[The award] just shows my hard work pays off," said owner Deborah Miller. "I couldn't have done it without my staff."
The childcare center, which cares for children age 6 weeks to 12 years old, opened in 2001.
To contact the center, located at Great Eastern Shopping Center, 2534 Woodville Road, in Northwood, call (419) 691-3783 or visit "Little Wonders Child Care Center" on Facebook.

The family-owned and operated company, which was started in 1976, offers a wide range of services, including offset and digital printing, mailing, promotional products, fulfillment, warehousing and more, and strives to not only meet but exceed customer expectations.
"[The award] reminds me so much of my father, the way he did his business," said president Joe Metzger. "He constantly told everyone, 'Do the right thing.'"
Despite its growth, Metzgers retains a "family atmosphere." More than 30 employees have been with the company for 10 years or more. The Metzgers Education Center offers employees and customers a space to learn about current and emerging marketing capabilities.
The company is located at 207 Arco Drive in Toledo. For more information, call (419) 861-8611 or visit www.metzgers.com.

Up until now, the closest Apple has come to offering its own iTunes-powered payment system is the ability to store existing credit cards and login information in an iCloud-synced keychain, but the Wall Street Journal reports that the company has much more in store.
According to the Journal's report, Apple is planning to create a system that would allow users to purchase goods in physical stores through their iTunes accounts using an iPhone. Eddy Cue, Apple's head of iTunes, reportedly met with executives throughout the technology industry recently to discuss the possibility of Apple entering this market.
The proposed system could be similar to the Apple Store app's built-in payment system, which allows users to scan and pay for any item in the store from a mobile device.
With iOS 7, Apple has included a barcode scanner in its native camera API, allowing app developers to natively build various types of barcode-based apps. Prior to that, Apple introduced Passbook with iOS 6 as a way to store loyalty cards, tickets, and coupons. Mobile payments seems like an obvious next step in the evolution of these products.

Would iTunes Credit be allowed to be used to make purchases on physical items?
They sure won't let you use iTunes credit, not when it's often 20% off.I added $300 to my iTunes account that way before I learnt that you can't use it to buy physical goods.
they forgot something: "and it will be just available in the U.S." :-(
maybe come to the 21st century and make iTunes a website instead of a hacked together, sluggish POS!?!?
You're a Windows user aren't you?
I'm seeing more of a Paypal type of service… I don't believe they will let you spend iTunes moneys at other stores…
What crazy innovation? What is next? Will they call it Applezon? Will they launch a streaming video site and call it Appletube? The cutting edge moves never stop. BTW I own 2 macs and have had 5 iPhones (got the first one when it came out) so don't get all bent out of shape. I like stuff Apple but they are fading fast.
150 Billion in cash….500+ million credit cards on files through iTunes…..fingerprint i.D. with the iPhone 5S….Apple should be well on the way to forming its own Bank subsidiary though which it would issue its own virtual credit card with the iPhone in any store that would accept it…..Apple could afford to charge merchants accepting its card much less than Visa or MC……
A NEW BALL GAME!! (let's hope they do it)
Long time Apple shareholder…..
If Apple get this setup by next year, and if it allows me to authorise purchases with the fingerprint scanner on the 5s then we can give one more Back to the Future prediction the big tick.

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other
Ah, Valentine's Day. Our hearts go pitter pat as the date approaches, florist shops fill up with lush red roses, heart-shaped chocolates tucked into delicate, pale tissue paper or tumbling out of boxes tied up in plump pink ribbon are displayed in every candy shop window and showcases of jewelry of gold and silver, diamonds and rubies, both elegant and gaudy, invite us to dream. Visions of chubby cherubim and putti, Cupid gently taking aim with his bow and arrow, the promise of romance and snuggling up with the one you love all are part and parcel of the magic that we call Valentine's Day.
The month of February, cold and harsh, a blanket of white if we are so lucky, a breath of spring occasionally whispering in our ear, stuck unforgivingly somewhere between the rousing, festive end-of-the-year holiday season and the warming, welcoming arms of spring. February, rarely one's favorite month, finds us impatient for the winter to end, dreaming of summer vacations in the sun, and escape. But for the romance of Valentine's Day. So we strap on ours skis or snuggle down under blankets, our hands wrapped around a mug of hot cocoa or we dream of our knight in shining armor as we stir flour into sugar, rub in butter and scent with vanilla and cinnamon and wait for Valentine's Day. For most of us, Winter respite comes in the form of a heart, that sentimental keepsake, that unlooked for display of affection, candlelight and a glass of champagne warming us up halfway through this otherwise cold, snowbound month.
And then some of us, the lucky ones, get married. Married in the month of February. How romantic is that? Like celebrating Valentine's Day all month long, like having a special Valentine's Day all to yourself. My darling friend Ria, far off in exotic India, has been stitching wedding favors, planning menus, putting together her trousseau and fitting the wedding dress of her dreams all in preparation for her February wedding. Darling Ria turned to me for a guest post and how could I refuse? Love and marriage and Valentine's Day are food for a romantic like me, sentimental fool that I am, stirring up emotions and memories of my own special day so many years ago, a day followed by so many candlelit dinners, so many gifts slid across white tablecloths or placed in the palm of my hand, so many boxes tied up in satin ribbon, so many celebratory bottles of champagne, so many romantic getaways for two. And a near-perfect marriage (no marriage is perfect, my dear) is like the perfect Valentine's Day: romance blended with joy and laughter, a mad mingling of serenity and excitement, the fusion of the exchange of serious sentiments and a wild burst of frivolity. It is a union of anticipation, worry and joy, hope and dreams.
For the complete post and the recipe please jump over to Ria's Collection....
(My dear friend Barbara of Barbara Bakes just pointed out to me that I forgot to add the ground nuts in the body of my recipe on Ria's blog. Just add (stirring and folding in by hand) after beating/stirring in the flour and cornstarch.)

The benefits of participating in scouting are endless. But for a boy with disabilities, they are so much more.
Andy and Loreen Fisher are the parents of a 12-year-old boy who is about to crossover between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. This in itself is not unusual as many boys are making the transition this time of year. However, what makes Dylan unique is that he has mild autism and is legally blind with a degenerate eye disease.
The supportive Cub Scout Pack 505 family has been instrumental in his development, his parents said.
"Both with learning new things and with making friends," according to Andy. "The experience has allowed him to make progress that would perhaps not have otherwise been possible. His story is simply remarkable... as evidenced not just by me as his father but by many in the pack who have known him the last five years."
Andy participated in scouts as a child but never thought much about it again as he became busy with adulthood.
He and his wife were home schooling Dylan and the program coordinator became concerned that Dylan needed more socialization with peers.
He was taken to a boy scout introduction meeting one night by his therapist. It was in that moment five years ago his life changed.
Dylan's brother Brendan, now 14 years old, also joined scouts, and having just moved to the area, it was a great way for both of them to make friends.
Their sister, Maddie, 6 years old, may even follow in their footsteps.
According to Andy, Dylan was terrified at first and prone to outbursts. He was terrified of fire, making campouts difficult.
But with love and support from the other scouts' families and the scout master, Dylan adjusted and became one of them.
At age four, his parents didn't think he'd even be able to talk, but to see him today, one would never know that.
Dylan will eventually go entirely blind. But he spends one hour a day learning braille and competed in a braille challenge in which he placed second out of 15.
He loves to ride his bike and has become quite popular at school. Kayak is a favorite scouting activity for Dylan and according to his parents, he is an upbeat kid who does not let his disabilities get in his way.
Dylan is about to crossover to a Boy Scout troop and begin a new adventure with Troop 529.
Andy and a team of other scouting parents are utilizing a documented process within the Boy Scouts of America Scouting with Disabilities Program to best provide him the orientation and teaching methods to be successful in scouting, and ultimately in life.
"While Dylan's experience is remarkable and his future promising, what is unfortunate is that other families have not taken advantage of the opportunities in scouting that we have explored for Dylan," said Andy.
"Perhaps it is the joining of my scouting background and that my wife and I having been put into an unenviable situation of having to find social opportunities for our disabled son."
Andy and Loreen were open to communicating their story to other families in the Lowcountry, with the hopes of other young boys and families benefiting from the "road we have already paved."
"We are not only proud of our son but how the Pack 505 scouting family has rallied around one of their own to grow them along with typically developing peers," Loreen said.
According to his scout leader, Howard Althen, when Dylan first came to the pack, he was a lot more shy and didn't like campouts and fires. But over the years, as he's grown, he loves everything about scouts, especially campouts. "Dylan is an inspiration to not only the leaders but the boys as well," he said. "They've adopted him as their brother and he tends to bring out the best in all the boys as well as the leaders," Althen said.
"The boys understand his differences now and they serve not only as assistants but as a protectors as well. No one messes with Dylan. We have been able to surround ourselves with a huge community of good boys and good adults."
Cub master Howard Althen opened doors and created a nurturing community for Dylan, his mother explained.
And when Dylan literally bridges over from Weebelows, with the help of the scouts he will be joining, it will surely be a tearjerker. It is called an Arrow of Light Ceremony.
Traditionally the cub scout will cross a lighted bridge to join the new troop. But because of his eyesight, the scouts will come and bring Dylan across that bridge, escorting him to the other side.
His brother Brendan will be among them.
Additionally, Andy and others are beginning to develop a disabilities advisory board within the local Boy Scout council to facilitate other boys' inclusion in scouting units in the area.
To become involved, email firstname.lastname@example.com. The board as a whole will provide resources to other troops and packs to offer support for those who put together programs for someone like Dylan.
"Scouting became an amazing thing for him and when we found out that scouting has great accommodations for disabilities we knew there had to be other families looking for opportunities for their children," said Andy.
"We're certainly not bragging about our child, but he has accomplished some amazing things. There is no reason other families of boys different in some respects can't find something for their sons like friendships and fun. It is available to them."
"Scouting is an opportunity for our son to experience life like everyone else," said Andy.
"Dylan always been nice kid, almost like the essence of innocence," said Althen.
"His disability is not looked at as such, the boys crowd around and help him to do well. He's an inspiration and so are his parents," he said.
"Andy and Loreen are very involved with the pack and we do not have training for this. They were very up front with us and helped us to help Dylan. Afterall, we're not experts, we're just volunteers."

Cheveldayoff, who's in his second season as general manager for the National Hockey League's Winnipeg Jets, becomes just the sixth person to be honored with a banner by the Wolves. He will be joined for the on-ice ceremony by a group that includes his wife, Janet, their children, Chase and Alexi, and Wolves chairman Don Levin and vice chairman William Buddy Meyers.
"The Wolves are my family," Cheveldayoff said. "My wife and kids grew up cheering for the Wolves with the crest on their jerseys for a good portion of their lives. Those memories come back immediately. Chicago is where my hockey management career really started and I'll forever be indebted and grateful to Don Levin and Buddy Meyers for the opportunity."
Levin knew "Chevy" by recommendation and reputation -- he helped the Utah Grizzlies win the International Hockey League's 1996 Turner Cup as an assistant coach and assistant vice president for hockey operations -- but didn't know he was just 27 years old as Levin made the hire after a series of phone calls. Cheveldayoff and head coach John Anderson led the Wolves to the 1998 Turner Cup in their first year together.
"Kevin Cheveldayoff is brilliant," Levin said. "He might be the smartest hockey guy I've ever met."
"Chevy is the most knowledgeable of anyone I have ever met in the game," said Meyers, who has been part of professional hockey as an agent and owner for more than 35 years. "We would often watch the game from his skybox and his perception of not only the players' performance, but also an explanation of how the play should have been, was always right on. His tenure with the Wolves and what he's done since he left, to me, ranks him in the top five of those in the game today."
Cheveldayoff spent 11 more seasons with the Wolves and won three more championships (the 2000 Turner Cup, 2002 Calder Cup and 2008 Calder Cup) before joining the Chicago Blackhawks for two seasons as assistant general manager and senior director of hockey operations. Winnipeg hired him as general manager on June 8, 2011.

Editor's desk: Goodbye Macworld|iWorld, hello fitness month!
I'm sitting at San Francisco airport, staring out over runways and mountains untouched by the cold or snow that await me at home, remembering with fondness the sights and sounds, products and people of Macworld|iWorld 2013, and already looking forward to next year. We shot a ton of video, and you'll be seeing it go up all this week. Enjoy it, because Paul Kent and crew once again proved it's the people that make all the difference.
But now it's February and that means it's fitness month, Mobile Nations post-CES, iMore's post-Macworld-iWorld tradition. And it's all shades of kick-in-your-ass awesome.
The core idea is this: After the holidays, we all have the best of intentions and hit January with more activity, cleaner eating, better rest, and overall healthier lifestyles than any other time of the year. Then life smacks us in the face. Hard. And we go right back to the same bad habits we chided ourselves about for the entirety of the year before.
That's why we chose February for fitness month. January is done. Win, lose, or draw, we get a second chance. And thanks to the iPhone and iPad, and all the apps and accessories that have come out, all the new technologies that have let us improve our exercise, improve our nutrition, maximize our rest and recovery, and make ourselves healthy, we get a really, really good chance. Especially when you factor in the power of our communities.
So, starting tomorrow, we'll be posting a bunch of app reviews, accessory reviews, contests, podcasts, and other great content. Starting tomorrow, we'll be working together to make fitness month the best, most fun, most successful event of the mobile year.
We'd love for you to join us, so check back tomorrow morning and get ready to get it in gear.

Editor's desk: Goodbye Macworld|iWorld, hello fitness month!
Agreed, that's awesome. I totally welcome the tech inspired incentive to get in shape. Hopefully we will hear some testimony, along with the gadgets and software Renee will share, of a new fitness routine he's decided to engage in for the month or perhaps year. (hopefully he's doing something fitness related beyond the reporting)!
Where is your light saber to go with that small light shield you are carrying?

UFC Could Have Five International Versions of The Ultimate Fighter Next Year
UFC Could Have Five International Versions of The Ultimate Fighter Next Year | MMAWeekly.com
With the first international edition now under its belt, the UFC is looking to take TUF across the globe. The next international offering is already in progress with several more on tap.
This is our first international series of The Ultimate Fighter, said UFC managing director of international development Marshall Zelaznik. Weve got Australia vs. the U.K. coming up.
TUF: Australia vs. the UK, dubbed The Smashes, has already gone through fighter tryouts and is headed into production for a likely fall run.
But the UFC isnt stopping there.
We could potentially have five Ultimate Fighter international versions next year in production, added Zelaznik. I think when we see more international Ultimate Fighters is when youll probably see something like a World Cup come about.
The World Cup format he mentioned is a reference to having Ultimate Fighter winners from around the globe square off in a sort of Ultimate Ultimate Fighter tournament.
Zelaznik didnt detail which five locals might get an international edition of TUF next year, but the company has already confirmed a return to Brazil, Australia could possibly see a second run if this years edition goes well, and Canada, of course, has to be a top consideration.
There are still several other possibilities to fill the remaining slots. White has often mentioned the Philippines, China, and Mexico as possibilities, and his standard were going everywhere leaves the options wide open.
Just where TUF will land next year remains to be seen, but its obvious that it is going to be a key piece in the UFCs arsenal as the company spreads its brand of MMA across the globe.

PerkinElmer Presents: The Approach to Analysis of TBN in Lubricating Oils Using FTIR Spectroscopy
Presenter: Dr. Dave Wooton, Wooton - Consulting
Where: Streaming online, provided through WebEx, an online event service
When: Wednesday, December 11, 2013, 12:00-1:00 p.m. Central
Cost: FREE to STLE members and non-members
Registration is now open - click the link below to register. This event is FREE to attend for both STLE members and non-members. The live event is open to the first 100 registrants. After that, those who register will be signed up to receive a copy of the recording once the event has concluded.
The need to analyze in-service lubricants for changes in chemical and physical properties is a benefit to insure the fluid is in proper condition to perform its job of protecting the equipment. Tests like total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) require long expensive lab experiments. Because of these issues alternative procedure are suggested. One of these alternatives is FTIS Spectroscopy Chemometrics. Chemometrics is the mathematical modeling of the spectra to calculate the TBN or TAN property.
This presentation is a discussion on the application of FTIR Chemometrics toward the measurement of the TBN or TAN lubricant property. The requirements, preparation, process and development toward developing this analytical method will be discussed. Just like any analytical method, there are development, standardization, validation and quality control segments for this method. How these are approached becomes an integral part of the development and application of chemometrics. When properly applied chemometrics can be a valuable analytical tool.

Apple TV: 160GB Price Cut, 40GB Completely Cut
Speaking of Apple TV and the future, MacRumors reports that Apple's "hobby" lost its smaller SKU this morning as the 40GB Apple TV was cut from the Apple Store -- and Apple product lineup -- and the 160GB Apple TV was given a healthy price cut down from $329 to $229 [Apple Store link].
So our question becomes, is this a sign of Apple TV's slow slide to oblivion, or just a clearing of the deck before a long, long, long overdue update?
Storage aside, the Apple TV hardware has been unchanged since it was announced back in 2006 and then launched at Macworld 2007 alongside the introduction of the iPhone. The software received minor 1.x bumps before getting the <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/01/15/apple-tv-2-rentals-hd-quality-free-software-upgrade-and-price-drop/>Take 2 treatment at Macworld 2008 as part of Apple's expansion into HD, TV, and Movie rentals, but since then has again been relegated to minor 2.x bumps -- mostly in keeping with iTunes and QuickTime updates.
Of course, with iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard's QuickTime X both being fairly significant updates this time around, no doubt another software bump is on its way... Could there finally be some new hardware coming with it?
We'll keep our hopes up, but we've learned to live with anticipointment...

Apple TV: 160GB Price Cut, 40GB Completely Cut
This might finally get me to make a purchase. I've wanted one of these for a while, but thought 40 GB was too small, but 160 GB was too expensive. I'm going to see if the refurbed 160 units get down to $199 and I might pull the trigger. I'd rather do movie rentals through iTunes than my cable company anyway (same price but better experience via AppleTV).
I highly doubt they're killing the Apple TV, for a couple reasons:
- They just released an update for the iPhone Remote and and for the Apple TV a couple months ago that enables gestures on the iPhone to control the onscreen Apple TV cursor. Hard for me to believe they'd work on such a cool update for a product that was on the verge of being axed.
- The new iTunes Extras features for movies seem to be a perfect fit for a TV viewing experience, and I'd be very surprised if they didn't eventually enable the Apple TV to access that content. I think they are probably working on some sort of update - software or hardware - to bring it closer to a DVD viewing experience.
Also, people, you can watch anything you didn't buy from iTunes on Apple TV. I watch all my store-bought DVDs on it. It's called ripping. (Or if you downloaded something, it's called converting.)
I have the 160GB Apple TV and use precisely 0GB. Like Grant, everything streams from my Mac, so counting USB devices, that can just grow and grow...
Still waiting for them to scrap this and toss the software in the mac mini with a Blu-Ray SuperDrive and a new i5 chip. 500gb hard drive I'll buy one tomorrow!
Great work! I might not grasp or go along with anything and everything right here, nevertheless it really still is extremely valuable content material! I undoubtedly am going to dedicate the subsequent couple of hrs basically leafing thru your several other content pieces. Adios for now.

ATLANTA, Ga. – The Chattanooga Mocs (0-3, 0-0) dropped their third match of the season Sunday morning with a five-set loss to Florida A&M on the final day of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Invitational. FAMU improved to 1-2 with the win. Despite the loss, sophomore Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) was named to the tournament's all-tournament team.
Chattanooga jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first set with a 25-16 victory over the Rattlers. The Mocs scored early and forced Florida A&M to a timeout to regroup. Leading 4-0 at the break, Chattanooga went on to dominate the set.
The second was all Rattlers as FAMU scored five unaswered points to open. Chattanooga pulled within two points, 10-8, midway through, but Florida A&M pulled away taking the stanza 25-20.
FAMU again streaked to a victory in the third frame. It pieced together two long scoring possessions. The first went for six points, while the second nailed seven consecutive points onto the scoreboard for the Rattlers as the 25-16 win gave them a 2-1 lead in the match.
Chattanooga battled back from elimination in the fourth set to force a fifth frame. A narrow 26-24 win came after Chattanooga led by as many as four points during the hotly-contested set. The Mocs snagged the fourth on back-to-back kills from sophomore Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.).
Florida A&M controlled the tempo from the start of the fifth set, taking a massive 8-2 lead. Despite the deep hole, Chattanooga climbed back into into it with four consecutive points late to get within three, 13-10. Two quick FAMU points gave it the match win.
Freshman Allie Davenport (Tyrone, Ga.) registered 15 kills and recorded 13 digs to claim her first career double-double. Davenport also led the Mocs with three solo blocks. Batterton had a 14-kill performance with three assisted blocks.
Sophomore libero Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.) led Chattanooga with 16 digs. Sophomore Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) had 10 digs for the Mocs.
Alvarado was Chattanooga's lone all-tournament selection, totaling 22 kills on the weekend along with 23.5 points. The sophomore also hit a team-best .333 on offense. It is her first career all-tournament honor.
The Mocs return home this week to host the Country Inns & Suites Invitational at Maclellan Gym. Chattanooga begins the tournament Thursday night at 7 p.m. when the Mocs host the Tennessee Lady Vols.
