I'm certain you've heard it before: "You're going to Disney World… again?" That question typically comes from a relative, friend, or coworker, and I won't even attempt to get into the implications of that query. I'm sure you reply, as we all do, with what it is we enjoy about the World, knowing that our response is likely falling on the proverbial deaf ear. Their minds were made up eons ago and nothing we say or do will change that. As many before me have said… either you get it or you don't.
"Wouldn't you rather spend your money traveling to see something real, not Disney's artificial version?" I will admit that there was a time when I fumbled for a bit with that one. Now? Not so much. You see… I actually prefer Walt Disney World's version of the world than the real one. The real world has crime, poverty, hunger, financial crises, war, etc. I find none of that at Disney World and that's how I prefer my vacations.
"Yes, but you can't visit the Louvre or see Big Ben at Disney World." True, but I can see the Eiffel Tower, visit an English pub for a Guinness served up by a bartender with an authentic British accent, and dine in an authentic German Courtyard—plus I can do all that in a single day without the time and expense of a trip to Europe.
I understand the reasons for international travel. I really do. The thrill of seeing something you've previously only seen in photos or on television; the adventure of visiting new places and immersing yourself in a different culture; seeing first-hand some of the history and artifacts from previous generations. I get it, and with apologies to Austin Powers: if that's your bag, baby, then go for it. I'm quite content to get my international flavor from Epcot's World Showcase and to prove my point, I offer the Top Ten reasons why visiting World Showcase is better than the real thing.
Reason #1 – Cost
We frequently stay at our Disney Vacation Club home resort, Disney's Boardwalk Villas. I can walk from my room to China, to visit the Tomb Warriors, in about 15 minutes. The cost would be next to nothing assuming I've already used my Park Hopper or Annual Pass today. In fairness, a percentage of the cost to fly to Orlando and stay at the Boardwalk should be factored into the overall cost. But that pales when compared to the real thing.
A quick check of Travelocity tells me a flight to China will set me back between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on the number of airlines used and stops made. That says nothing of ground transportation, hotels, etc. I can fly to Orlando for about $300 round trip. Advantage Disney.

Reason #2 – Time
The flying time from my home to Orlando is about three hours. Add on a couple of hours to arrive early at the airport, security check, Magical Express, etc. As I mentioned, the walk from the Boardwalk to World Showcase is about 15 minutes. Heck, you can make it from any Disney World resort in less than an hour, even allowing for bus delays.
My flight to Beijing? 20 hours and 38 minutes with two stops. Folks, I avoid doing something I enjoy if it's going to take 20 hours. 20 hours on a plane? Please!
Reason #3 – Safety
Of course I know that Walt Disney World is not entirely without crime but one of the reasons I enjoy vacationing there is the sense of safety—something you won't have visiting any major city in the world. I've yet to read about a kidnapping in the Mexico pavilion or a mugging outside the Chefs de France (although there is that pesky bank robbery in the Great Movie Ride).
Reason #4 – Architecture
Yes, I know. Disney World is artificial. It's Imagineering's image of what they'd like us to see; but if you've studied World Showcase at all, you'd know that the Rose and Crown Pub was painstakingly designed, so from varying vantage points it accurately depicts: an English street pub, a waterfront pub, and a country pub. You'd also know the exterior design reflects the Elizabethan period of the late 16th century while its interior decor mirrors Victorian architectural forms of the 1890s. How much touring of the British Isles would it take to encounter all that? Did I mention they also serve beer there?
I was watching television recently and caught a scene of Venice. I froze the scene and asked my wife what it reminded her of and she immediately said it was the Doge's Palace—something we had only experienced in Epcot. I'll grant you that the construction material in Epcot is not real Italian marble but I've never been one to need to feel a building. It looks quite real.
I know a few people that have visited Paris and said there's nothing quite like sipping a coffee at a table at a sidewalk café. Well, I can do that at World Showcase—although I admit the kid at the next table might be wearing mouse ears and brandishing a light saber; but I can live with that.
Reason #5 – Food and Drink
OK, I'll concede this one. I know from my limited international travel that what World Showcase provides is an Americanized version of an authentic dining experience from each of its countries (in some respects, I would even include the America pavilion in the same category and that's somewhat sad). Alas, many (most?) of our American palates actually prefer the tamer versions of the spicier and saucier international cuisine.
If you really want to sample haggis, you need to travel to Scotland (as an aside, haggis will be offered in the Scotland booth at this year's Food and Wine Festival and I might, repeat "might", try it). Each of us could probably name a Chinese restaurant in our home city that offers more authentic fare than Nine Dragons.
But (and here I go again)… When I stop for a beer at the Rose and Crown, for about 30 minutes I can immerse myself in the surroundings and convince myself I'm in an authentic British pub. I know a meal in Japan is not the same as actually dining in a Tokyo restaurant but, for my purposes, it's as close as I need to be.
United Kingdom. Photo by Steve Russo.
Reason #6 – The people and culture
The folks that work in the pavilions around World Showcase are from the host country and they relish any chance to talk about their homeland. They seem to enjoy answering questions and sharing the differences between their culture and what they've found living and working in the USA. I'll grant you it's not first-hand experience but it's more than enough to satisfy me.
Many of the countries offer samplings of their art and history from the aforementioned Tomb Warriors of China; to Morocco's Gallery of Arts and History with its display of the science, music and technology of that country; to Germany's Oktoberfest with its yodelers, dancers and a few jolly musicians in lederhosen. I could go on.

Reason #7 – It's filtered
I mentioned I have done a bit of international travel, and as with all travel, you have to take the good with the bad. Every area has its seedier side—the part of town to avoid. In some cases, you'll only discover it accidentally and, trust me, that's not much fun. At World Showcase, we're presented with only the good, the wholesome, and the photogenic aspects of foreign lands. While some would call that artificial, I maintain it's the part I want to see.
Reason #8 – Variety
You may have visited our neighbors to the north (Canada) and south (Mexico). You might have taken a wonderful trip to Europe and visited France and Italy… or the United Kingdom. But how many of us have the resources and time to have visited all of the nations represented in World Showcase? Admittedly, it's a mere snippet of the culture but World Showcase offers that sampling opportunity for a fraction of the cost—in time and dollars.
Reason #9 – Shopping
Yes, I'm the person that rants whenever Disney announces new "shopping opportunities" at the World. I can't swing a 9-iron at Disney World without knocking six Stitch plushes off a shelf (say that five times fast). However, I do believe World Showcase is a bit different.
Sure, I can buy Twining's Tea in my local market and I could probably find a sombrero and a Beatles T-shirt on Amazon but there's so much more in World Showcase's shops. Each pavilion sports its own stores and offers merchandise specific to that country. I would venture that many items are so unique that you couldn't find them in your home city (unless, of course, you live in Tangier).
Reason #10 – Illuminations: Reflections of Earth
Yes, I know I'm stretching it here but I promised a Top 10—not nine. I often say that I could close each day standing around World Showcase lagoon watching this wonderful display of fireworks, lasers and music… and it's only available at Epcot.
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Photo by Steve Russo.
Before the responses come in, labeling me an uncultured moron, let me add that I realize that a tour around World Showcase is NOT equivalent to the real thing. There's so much more one may gain from actually visiting another nation, viewing first-hand its art and architecture, absorbing its culture and spending time with its people. By all means, if you have the resources and the time, have at it.
I'm only suggesting that many of us might prefer to avoid the cost, the time and the travel headaches associated with international travel, and to me, Epcot's World Showcase offers many of the benefits—without the hassle.
As always, thanks for reading.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is changing the way their Travel Information Centers (TIC) are staffed. ODOT has begun to phase out its TIC staff into different positions.
According to Steve Faulkner, ODOT Press Secretary, the TIC in Scioto County had three employees and now has one.
"One has retired, one took a position at the Scioto County Garage and one employee is currently still at the TIC, reviewing job postings as they happen within ODOT," Faulkner said. "Current TIC employees are given preference when looking at job postings within ODOT."
He said similar scenarios are happening with each of the states TIC's. With all of the TICs throughout eventually going unstaffed.
"We have a plan that will keep the TICs open, but not have them staffed by ODOT employees. Out of 30 some employees around the state, about half of them have voluntary looked at other positions or have retired," Faulkner said
In late 2012 ODOT was on a listening tour across the state talking with communities about the role TICs play. Faulkner said within those conversations, the communities were asked if they were interested in providing a staff for the TIC located within their community.
"We met with Commissioner's Convention Visitors Bureau and Chambers of Commerce and others. We told them what we were thinking about doing at the time, We asked them if we did not man the TICs moving forward would you (as a community) have an interest in proving a staff member for the TIC, and by nearly all of them we were told no. With the exception of the Belmount County CVB," Faulkner said.
He said all of the information currently at the TIC will be maintained, for those that stop in seeking local information.
"Last year, we contracted with Traveler's Marketing, to handle our interstate rest areas. They can pursue advertising and sponsorship opportunities at rest areas, Faulkner said. "We are looking at a program to see how that would play out on U.S. Routes and other State Routes as well."
He said there are 12 Travel Information Centers throughout Ohio, including the one in Scioto County.
Faulkner could not give a timetable as to when the TIC would go unstaffed.

BiggDude, You are right! It is a good thing you are not the GM
C'mon LaMurfFan. Good for you to be a loyal fan for so long (actually, I might have a year or two on you) but you sound like one of those fans who will accept nothing less than absolute perfection. Do you remember "Smoke" Lavalle (sp?). Which team won the SEC championship?
SB scored off the #1 drafted pitcher (#4 overall). Looks grim. Other fans are correct - we need hits and runs or it's vacation time.
Look at names like Pirates, Tigers, Celtics, Wizards, Buccanneers, Bocats, Diamondbacks, Warriors and Hornets. Want to tangle with any of them? Then look at Heat, Thunder, Brass, Jazz, Gris Gris. Can't you see the difference? As to Lagniappe: Lagniappe? Lagniappe? Are you kidding me? Lagniappe?
D'ja ever notice how much those who are regulated support being regulated? Common sense would say the opposite. But they know what they are doing. Under the guise of "maintaining high standards" they are restricting competition. Teacher unions, for example, try to impose extraordinary burdens on home schoolers. Why? To force children into schools thus providing a need for more paid teachers.
Common sense says the monks should be allowed to continue - but common sense doesn't prevail in a courtroom. Geaux Monks!!
I was "born and raised" (as the saying goes) in New Orleans but now, at 78 yrs old, live out of state. so I know all about roux, brass, jazz, krewe, lagnaippe and so on. I have felt like a voice in the wilderness reading some of the proposed names. I'm so glad to see some people agree with me. Keep the name Hornets!! For crying out loud, the team has been in New Orleans long enough to be identified with the city and New Orleans has real hornets. People who suggest other names haven't thought about what the logo will look like, what will be the name of the arena, and what will be the name of the dance team. The present logo with the fluer de lis, angry hornet and basketball is great. And the "hive" and "honybees" tie in perfectly. Hornets STING. Hornets are AGRESSIVE. Hornets inflict PAIN. Hornets LIVE IN New Orleans. Hornets are REAL THINGS. Aren't those what you want in your players?
Want to change a team name? How about the other pro team in NO - the Zephyrs? Now there'a a name that deserved to be replaced.
Hey people who are eager to change a team name - there's another pro team in town
I know nothing about the available talent, so I don't have a favorite. Also, the Hornets have so many needs a #1 ought to be a good enough player to contribute no matter what his position. But - you asked in an earlier post what is their most glaring need. I think it's a big that can muscle with the bigs the Hornets have to face. If Anthony Davis is that type of player AND generally considered the best player, regardless of position, then duh...
You posed the alternative as bringing in veterans. If Hornets are committed to building on youth, as I think they say they are - then why would they do that? They even thought of trading Kamen, probably their best player this last season, because of age and dollars. You never really know how a rookie will turn out until he's played (the NFL has had it's share of high draft busts) but at #10, the odds are the Hornets can get a player that will contribute.Anyway, it will be fun to watch what they do, given their numerous options.
I agree this question doesn't even need asking. Absolutely yes, yes, yes! Coach Monty had some players who shouldn't even be in the NBA and he made them perform.They never quit. I don't know the final stats, but in one game an opponent commentator remarked that the Hornets defense ranked 11 in pts allowed. You only get that from coaching. I live in TN so could only get the Hornets on NBA League Pass. Several opponent commentators complimented Coach Monty on his job. They didn't need to do that. And they should know; most are ex players.
Glaring need? A team that won as few games as the Hornets did could benefit from an upgrade at ANY position. But still, I would vote for a big. Position doesn't matter as much as someone who can muscle (and win) against the bigs on other teams. Whatever combination of current players and replacements Demps and Coach Monty put together, it's got to include a BIG, strong intimidator.
Jeff Bower a GM? Hahahahaha
Wage earners may make more in other states but this is often negated by a higher cost of living. Been there, done that.
Ridiculous! If North Dakota is so great how come people aren't flocking there? I suppose it got it's ranking from its mild winters. Ah, sunny, warm ND at Christmas time.
Fire Miles?! You've got to be kidding. Yes, yes, yes! He blew the most important game of his career. But his total career record is as impressive as it gets. Challenge: Name a better LSU coach (and that includes Paul Deitzel and "Cholly Mac")
Ditto ditto ditto!! If coach W can win 19 with a revolving door, injury prone roster think what he might do with some additional talent. I do wonder, however, if conditioning was all that it should have been or if the injuries were just a statistical fluke.
Hey every one. When you propose a name think about what the logo would look like. I think most of the people who want to change the name haven't thought through what their logo would look like. "Creole" and "Krewe" are the only names I've seen so far that might work - but I STILL prefer the present logo. The angry hornet/fluer de lis logo DOES associate with NO. Anyone who has spent any time outdoors in NO has probably been stung by one and the fluer de lis is as NO as you can get
First, provide parking.
If you know a WWII veteran, honor him (or her)! We owe so much to them; they will soon be gone.
GREAT NEWS!!! Hey fans, aren't there more important things about the NOLA NBA tean than it's name? Like, oh maybe, the draft, or who should stay and who should go, or how to build a winner?
Proud Cajun got it right!!! I'm disgusted with the criticism Tom Benson has received over the years. If it weren't for Tom Benson there would be no New Orleans Saints. People who want to criticize him should start with that fact. No Tom Benson = no New Orleans Saints. I suppose most critics don't remember John Mecom; I sure do and I'm grateful for Tom Benson. And by the way, you critics might take the time to look into his philanthropy. Sorry, I may have used a word above your level. It means he gives away money. Imagine that. He actually gives away some of his own money.

Gunman Opens Fire At Los Angeles International Airport
By Kirk Siegler
Originally published on Fri November 1, 2013 4:49 pm
A lone gunman opened fire Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, police say. Police fired on the alleged shooter, who is now in police custody. The attack left one TSA officer dead and at least seven people needing medical treatment (including the shooter), officials said. The shooting forced the evacuation of a terminal and more than 45 flights into and out of LAX have been cancelled.

Pub. Type:
Arson Measurement, Analysis, and Prevention, Final Report
Subtitle/Series Name:
Pub. Date:
A review of the literature on research with similar objectives concludes that although the studies agree on substantive results, they are uneven in their degree of methodological sophistication and strength. Typical technical flaws in the research are failures to use appropriate denominators in the calculation of arson rates, to consider or adjust for irregularities in arson rates, to weigh observations in cross-sectional analyses, and to use multivariate statistical methods and correct for ill-conditioned or multi-collinear data. This study aimed to remedy these methodological flaws. The primary data sources used were the 1980 Census of Massachusetts, Summary Count 3A and 3B; and the Massachusetts Fire Incident Reporting System (MFIRS) tapes of 1983-85. The census file was used to construct a wide range of demographic and socioeconomic variables for the analysis of arson rates. The MFIRS file was aggregated by zip code and census tract to obtain counts of both residential and vehicular fire and arson. The findings confirmed the important roles of poverty and urbanness as factors in arson rates, along with the relatively unimportant role of race. In the absence of major social change in American cities, the most effective strategies for countering the arson problem combine enforcement and legislative initiatives. Examples of effective measures in these areas are provided. source

South Texas report: Two Javelinas to play in USA Football Bowl
KINGSVILLE - Two Texas A&M-Kingsville football players that have completed their eligibility will participate in Monday's USA Football Bowl in Hoover, Ala.
Defensive tackle Zane Brown and punter Angel Millan will participate with 132 other players in Monday's 1 p.m. game. The players will all participate in prostyle combine for professional teams on Tuesday.
A Houston native, Brown had a stellar senior season for the Javelinas. He finished fourth on the team with 66 tackles and had 13 stops for losses. Brown ended his career with 135 tackles, 20 tackles for losses and eight sacks.
Millan spent three seasons as the Javelinas starting punter after assuming the spot midway through his freshman season. Millan averaged 38.7 yards on 170 punts.

There is a very decent selection of beers on tap, from Sapporo to Mill Street, and the wine selection was also not bad, with quite a few sold by the glass, and the prices quite reasonable. The food menu had a lot of interesting options, but was woefully misspelled at times (I noticed at least 2 instances). Come on guys!
We started with the Gogi sliders, the Korean BBQ version of the American classic. They were not terrible, but definitely not flavourful enough. There was a slight spice kick, but not enough to call themselves Korean, or BBQ for that matter. There also were thin carrots on the plate, and seriously, Tilted Grill, you cannot give me a supposedly Korean inspired dish, and put carrots on the plate, and have it not be spicy, delicious kim chi. That's pretty much a crime.
At this point, I would like to mention that the service wasn't the quickest - the empty plates sat on our table for a while, and a couple (not our) waiters walked by without so much as an inclination to clear them. I get that everyone has their specific tables, but this really isn't how it's done.
Finally, we got our mains. The short rib burger, which sounded delicious, was way too dense (although the flavours were good), and my carne tacos tasted pretty good at the start (although a bit too easy on the lime), but got cold way too quickly, which definitely did not suit the flavours as far as I'm concerned. The sides, apple slaw and yam fries, weren't too bad. Then again how do you screw that up!
In the end, I see what Tilted Grill is going for here but it's just not doing it for me. Two stars for the food, and with added major points for breathing new life into the woefully underutilized BLVD patio, I ended up giving them three stars, aka I would eat here if I'd been drinking on the patio for a couple hours and got hungry.

everything you claimed you did not like i loved, you must have gone during soft opening... its much better now!ReplyDelete
Actually I went this week - maybe the kitchen had an off day?ReplyDelete
Hi Guys.... As one of the owners of Tilted I would like to thank you for taking the time to write about us. There has been some challenges during the opening that we are working hard to champion. We have made some significant changes to our menu over the last 2 weeks and the results and comments have shown great improvement. The patio will not be finished until The end of June at which time you will see new lounge-type furniture with cushions, new overhead patio heaters and finished brick cauldron fireplaces, It will be a great spot if we ever get the weather!ReplyDelete
Again we appreciate your efforts and welcome you back for a follow-up visit.

What are some examples of some recent legislation that the National Organization for Women has either supported or opposed?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The National Organization for Women supports and opposes a great deal of legislation at any given time. Perhaps the best way for you to find a great deal of information about this is to visit the legislative action section of their website. You can find it here.
At that link, you can find many examples of legislation that they support and oppose. For example, they support the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011. They feel that this law would do important things to protect women from various sorts of violence such as domestic violence and sexual assault. On the other hand, they oppose the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which would make it more difficult for teens to get abortions outside of their own home state.

Since the acquisition of Palm, HP has been relatively quiet, but now some certification and a slew of screenshots suggests the ball is rolling.
HP has filed two new devices for certification under Palm Inc which may well be the last piece of convincing we need that HP will indeed be entering the smartphone market again with two brand new Palm devices.
Click here for a full gallery of WebOS 2.0
The certification was not only for two new devices that would be CDMA and GSM enabled, but also for a device called an 'inductive battery charger' which sounds suspiciously like it's an updated version of the Touchstone charger used for the Palm Pre.
As if to make things even more transparent Engadget yesterday revealed a slew of screenshots showing the brand new WebOS 2.0 which will then no doubt be placed onto these new devices.
It's promising stuff, the Palm Pre was always a hugely desirable gadget even if it wasn't perfect in some areas, so the question will now be, can HP give it the finishing touches that could really make it a must-have smartphone?
What do you think, will you be waiting around for a new Palm smartphone? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.

MAC Too Fabulous: Mineralize Blush Duo Reviews, Photos, Swatches
MAC Mineralize Blush Duo: (Clockwise) Rhapsody in Two, Buddy Up, Bi-Tone, Chic Couple, Sun & Moon
MAC Too Fabulous: Mineralize Blush Duo Reviews, Photos, Swatches
On March 4th, Too Fabulous will launch launches in-stores, but you can expect it to pop-up online on either Monday (the 1st) or Tuesday (the 2nd) as well. Included in the collection are six shades of Mineralize Blush Duos ($23.00), nine shades of Cremesheen Glasses ($18.00), and six shades of Lip Pencils ($13.00). I'm missing one mineralize blush (Two Virtues) and one Cremesheen Glass (Loud & Lovely), as well as all of the lip pencils–I will have the missing pieces reviewed on the launch date once I get to the store and purchase them, so please be patient! Update (3/4/10): Everything is now reviewed and all that!
The Mineralize Blush Duos are soft, smooth, and have kind of a "dirty" look to them, overall. I'm not a big mineralize blush fan because they have a tendency to break me out, so I rarely wear them. I also find that they fade faster than a typical powder blush, so they've just never been worth the breakout-potential! Rhapsody in Two is the only one I really liked, as the others just felt too "dirty" for my personal preference. I'd say Bi-Tone might be my second favorite, if you made me pick one!
Mineralize Blush Duos ($23.00)
- Bi-Tone is contains a pinky plum and a coppery gold. Together, they create a muted, coppery coral-red with golden shimmer.
- Buddy Up is a mix of muted plum and brightened pink. When swirled, they create a muted reddened plum shade that goes on fairly sheerly and doesn't have too much glitter.
- Chic Couple is a duo of peachy-copper and neutral brown with gold-green shimmer. The two mix to form a very bronzy brown with orange undertones and gold shimmer.
- Rhapsody in Two is a mix of light yellow-pink and light peach-orange with a frost finish. The two create a a lightened, played down pink champagne, almost. I think may end up being a favorite for many, though I see it being used primarily as a highlighter. This is the only one that really caught my attention.
- Sun & Moon is predominantly beige-y brown with pink-brown chunks within it. Together, they swirl to form a peachy copper brown with pink and gold shimmer. When used lightly, it can look very soft and pretty, but intensified, and I think it may feel too orange.
- Two Virtues is a mixture of a cool-tone, blue-based frosty medium pink with violet-purple pieces. Together, they make a light medium pink with silver shimmer. The violet doesn't really come through that much. It can be layered on more heavily for a pinker look, but it's fairly sheer.

PLANO, Texas (AP) A North Texas woman has been accused of using duct tape and suffocating her fiance's 2-year-old daughter as the couple broke up.
Collin County jail records show 25-year-old Melinda Muniz of Plano was being held Wednesday on a charge of capital murder of a person under 6 years of age. No attorney was listed for Muniz, who was arrested Tuesday and bond set at $1 million.
Plano police say Muniz faked a report about an attacker breaking into the couple's apartment Jan. 9. Police found Grace Lillian Ford unconscious with duct tape over her mouth. The toddler died Jan. 12.
An arrest affidavit says the child's father earlier on Jan. 9 told Muniz he was calling off their engagement and wanted her to move out.

[author: Gail E. Cohen]
In DMS Services, Inc. v. Superior Court, the Plaintiff brought suit in California state court for breach of contract, bad faith and related claims against the third-party administrator, or TPA, responsible for managing its workers' compensation claims. It also sued its workers' compensation insurer, Zurich Insurance, for declaratory relief contending that the insurer's high deductible insurance agreement (also known in the industry as a payment agreement) containing an arbitration clause was invalid under California Insurance Code section 11658 since it was not approved by the Department of Insurance.
In a pattern not uncommon in these cases, Plaintiff's lawsuit came on the heels of the insurer's demand and pursuit of arbitration for monies owed by the insured for insurance claim deductibles and unpaid losses.
In response, the insurer and TPA filed a joint petition to compel arbitration of all of the state court claims under the arbitration clause contained in the insurer's high-deductible agreement, or, in the alternative, to stay the action pending the outcome of the arbitration between the insured and insurer. DMS, in turn, filed a separate motion to stay the arbitration arguing that there was the "possibility of conflicting rulings on common issues of law and fact." The trial court granted the petition, rejected the Plaintiff's request for a stay, and Plaintiff appealed.
The California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, reversed, holding that the claims against the TPA were not subject to arbitration and that, as a consequence, it need not address the merits of the Plaintiff's contentions concerning the invalidity of the deductible agreement.
In reversing the ruling as to the arbitrability of the claims against the TPA, the court of appeal emphasized that the TPA was not a signatory to the deductible agreement containing the arbitration clause and further highlighted the fact that there was a separate claims service agreement between the TPA and the insured which did not contain an arbitration provision. It also reasoned that the insured's claims against the TPA for breach of its administration agreement were not "founded in" and "inextricably intertwined" with the insurance policies, the test for binding a nonsignatory to an arbitration agreement under the equitable estoppel doctrine. E.g., Molecular Analytical Systems v. Cipergen Biosystems, Inc., 186 Cal. App. 4th 696, 708 (2010), cited with approval.
Note: A pivotal factor underlying the court of appeal's conclusion was its finding that the TPA, though affiliated with the insurer Zurich, was not, nor alleged to be, an agent of the insurer. In so ruling, the court factually distinguished the federal district court's decision in NS Holdings LLC Inc. v. American International Group Inc. According to the DMS court, in NS Holdings, the TPA at issue (also a company related to the insurer) entered into a claims services agreement with the insurer, and thus was its agent and covered by the insurer's arbitration agreement with its insured, even if it was not a signatory to that agreement.

Spotify Adds Apps By Third-Party Developers to Attract Users
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Spotify Ltd., the music-streaming service, will open its site to software developers to attract new users with features such as ticket sales and song lyrics.
Partners including Rolling Stone magazine, CBS Corp.'s Last.fm, Pitchfork.com and others began offering 16 programs at Spotify's "App Finder," Chief Executive Officer Daniel Ek said today at a press event in New York.
The apps will attract new listeners and convert users of Spotify's free, advertising-supported service into paying subscribers, Ek said. All Spotify users can access apps, initially available only on computers, he said.
"We are creating this platform now knowing it's the early days, and we'll figure it out along the way," Ek said. "We don't know all the different possibilities. The important thing is to let innovation steer."
The London-based company will approve all apps offered on the service. The programs, including the ticket-selling feature Songkick, will work only with Spotify's software, Ek said.
Rolling Stone will supply an editorial voice that customers have asked Spotify to provide, Ek said. Jann Wenner, the magazine's owner, said at the event Spotify will enable the publication to incorporate music in articles and reviews.
"Spotify is the ultimate solution," Wenner said.
One app, called TuneWiki, will provide song lyrics, while Pitchfork.com will make recommendations and playlists, Ek said.
Paying Customers
Spotify's paying subscribers jumped 25 percent to 2.5 million after the company allowed users of Facebook Inc.'s social network to share and stream music.
The company, which charges $4.99 to listen on personal computers or $9.99 for both PCs and mobile devices, has more than 10 million users of its ad-supported service.
The service is available in 12 countries including the U.S., U.K., France and Sweden, and has a music roster of 15 million songs from artists signed to Vivendi SA 's Universal Music Group, Sony Corp., Warner Music Group and EMI Group, among others.
Ek said closely held Spotify is the music industry's second-biggest revenue source in Europe. He said Spotify has paid rights holders more than $150 million.
Spotify will be profitable in the long term, Ek said in an interview. "In the future, definitely," he said. "Our focus is on growing."

QI XL, Series G: Episode 13 - GothicFebruary 26th, 2010
The UK college nerd who posts these on YouTube seems to have discovered girls, so they aren't going up as quickly as usual. Heartbreaking.
Let my blogging knock that stupid look off your face.
The UK college nerd who posts these on YouTube seems to have discovered girls, so they aren't going up as quickly as usual. Heartbreaking.
(Barry Humphries will better known to you as "Dame Edna"... and if you're really peculiar, as fake-blind game show host "Bert Schnick" in bizarro Rocky Horror sequel Shock Treatment)
This is the one from last weekend.
(I've skipped like 4 episodes in the mean time. You all know how YouTube works. You could find them if you needed to.)
I got my test swatches from Spoonflower, so I can now offer fabrics for sale!
(The dinosaur one came out a little too dark, so I have to modify the colors)
When I earn back the $11 I spent buying proofs, I'll upload more different other designs. FOR YOU.
And another one, too:
You can't buy it, though. I have to spend money to be a "seller." Maybe later.
Didn't love this one; none of the panelists are on my short-list favorites. Both of the BBC1 series (this season and last) seem heavier and slower than the earlier seasons. Maybe it's me.
A flickr follower mentioned this came out, so now I can post about it—
Mindy Kaling's Score! CD from Merge Records.
"Mindy Kaling is a writer, co-executive producer and actor on NBC's The Office. She is also the founder of Pitchfork Media and plays ethnic percussion for Arcade Fire."
I only had three days to do this.
Perhaps this will be the new exclusive use for this blog… just posting youtube links to British panel games
This is a radio show hosted my David Mitchell (so, you'll just be looking at his headshot for the duration; no video) which I've not had much luck finding more than 2-3 other episodes online.
It's also some kind of QI cross-over, so it has BUILT IN APPEAL.
The only good thing about this rotten new year… a new episode of QI
I didn't have time/motivation to make a Christmas card this year. Luckily, it being the end of the Zeros, I instead give a brief retrospective of cards of the years past. (The ones I already have on the internet, anyway.)
2006. This is actually Cakey's Christmas card, but I made it.
2006. Inside: "Hoping your holiday season is relatively free of traumatizing calamity."
Not actually a Christmas card, but an album you should buy
2007. The Christmas card that changed the course of my career and indirectly dictated what I would be doing for the next 2+ years. (Made for actor Rich Sommer.)
2008. This one was for sale in my brief career as a copyright-violating media profiteer.
2008. We delivered on the promise, too.
Merry Fishmas, everybody!
The last one of Season 3:
I have a couple of loose Mad Men projects still to post and then I'm giving the series a rest for a good long time.
Added :
This was one of those loose ends left half done. So I finished it:
Now on the front page of FunnyorDie. Please vote "funny" or write a rambling, misspelled comment about how this is a rip-off of something else and totally lame.
I made this back in February as a pilot of a web sketch series for Marvel's website, which petered out before it started. Anyway… it's still pretty funny.
A lot of people want a Mad Men Illustrated calendar like the one I did last year. I can't legally make that, so I made a set of calendar pages that you can assemble with pictures from this flickr set to make your own.
This download is JUST THE CALENDAR PAGES —no images. You can pick and choose from this set to make it on your own with your home printer.
Mitch Magee moves to LA to begin his 3-month residency at Funny or Die.

Overall Review:
3 out of 5.
New diMENsions XL is a pill for men that aims to improve sexual performance. It claims to be able to increase the size of a man's penis, giving him harder and more intense erections.
Because the product is completely natural, there is very little risk for side effects, if any at all. Pills that men need prescriptions for almost always have a medium to high risk of some side effects. This is the benefit of going the natural route. Unfortunately, taking herbs and doing things naturally may require dedication for some, as it may take longer for your body to achieve the maximum results. The logic behind many of the herbal companies, however, is that they are thinking long-term health.
The science behind this supplement is one of nitric oxide, to start. Nitric oxide plays a key role in the development of an erection, as it may help blood flow – as well as have a large effect on the blood vessels' diameter.
The ingredients in this supplement have shown positive results in the process of allowing more blood to flow into the caverns of the penis. The more blood in the erection, the harder and stronger it becomes.
The dosage recommended is two pills before sexual activity. These two pills will enable men to be able to perform for hours, according to website claims.
- may increase erection size
- completely natural product
- may require some dedication for maximum results
- may not work for some due to different biology
- L-Arginine
- Horny Goat Weed
- Yohimbine HCL
- Cnidium Extract

ALBANY - Passengers traveling in and out of Albany International Airport experienced a slow return to normal Saturday evening. Despite better than expected conditions following Friday night's snow storm, there were still delays and cancellations on several flights.
Some incoming flights from Newark and the Washington D.C. area were among those experiencing cancellations. Passengers coming and going to Boston also experienced trouble connecting with Logan International Airport. Logan International was shut down but was expected to resume service at 11pm Saturday, according to an Albany International Airport spokesman.
Cape Air flights still showed up on the airport's website and department/arrivals boards as normal, although the airline's counters were closed and flights did not appear to be running.
One passenger trying to get to Massena on a Cape Air flight was stranded at the airport, with no answers from Cape Air after an already arduous trip from the West Coast.
"I showed up in Denver and my flight was canceled so I had to stay there all night," said Evan Mattice. "They finally found me a flight to Charlotte and I got stuck in Charlotte. Then they found me a ride to Albany and I'm stuck again because they canceled me."
But there were some positive stories as well, including Christine Edge who had a long trip from Georgia but made it to Albany in time to surprise her father for his 60th birthday celebration.
"I was scheduled to come up last night and they canceled all flights very early on. Instead of flying directly into Albany, I had to fly to Pennsylvania, take a little jet plane to Allentown, then drive three and a half hours to Albany. So it took a little while to get here," said Edge.

The criteria for the elimination of academic programs, in the absence of financial exigency, shall be based on bona fide academic reasons. The President, acting under the authority of the Regents' Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter III, Section 6.(11), has the responsibility for determining when to eliminate an academic program. Once the President decides to initiate consideration of elimination of a program or programs, that consideration must include, but is not limited to, a current review conducted under the UT San Antonio Academic Program Review Policy. For the purposes of the Academic Program Abandonment Policy, such a review under the Academic Program Review Policy is considered current if it was concluded within the previous three years.
- Upon identifying one or more academic programs for potential elimination, the President shall notify the University Assembly, along with the administration and faculty of the affected programs. When such action may result in terminating the employment of tenured faculty members, the President shall appoint an ad hoc committee of seven individuals to review the proposed actions. Four of the members of the committee shall be tenured members of the UTSA faculty, some of whom may hold administrative responsibilities. The four tenured members of the committee will be appointed by the President from among a group of not less than eight faculty nominated by the Faculty Senate, provided that such nominations are made within 14 days after the request from the President to the Faculty Senate unless an extension is granted by the President. Three committee members shall be appointed at the discretion of the President.
- The committee's considerations shall be based on academic program criteria. They shall include an assessment of the impact of the proposed actions on current and future students and the impact on the integrity and vitality of the university's other academic programs. Tenured faculty whose positions would be eliminated by the proposed actions will be provided the opportunity to contribute to the committee's review process and have those contributions considered. The committee shall consider and may offer advice on alternatives by which terminations of tenured faculty members can be avoided or minimized and how the negative effects of any necessary terminations can be mitigated.
- Unless an extension is approved by the President, the committee shall complete its work in a period of time no longer than 120 days. The committee's analysis and recommendations shall be presented in the form of a written report addressed to the President and routed through the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Provost will review the committee's analysis and recommendations and forward the committee report, along with the Provost's independent recommendations, including the names of any faculty whose positions are to be terminated, to the President within 30 days after receipt, unless an extension is approved by the President.
- After reviewing the committee's report and the recommendation of the Provost, if the President decides to proceed with the process of eliminating one or more academic programs that would eliminate academic positions occupied by tenured faculty, the President shall forward the decision, along with a copy of the committee's report, to the University Assembly and to the programs and faculty members directly affected and shall request approval of the proposed actions, including a proposed date of program termination, from the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. The date proposed for the termination of the program shall be no sooner than eighteen months after the President forwards the decision to the University Assembly and the programs and the faculty directly affected and shall coincide with the end of a spring semester (May 31).
- Upon approval by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the affected faculty member(s) will be notified by the Provost, and any tenured faculty member(s) will be asked to inform the Provost in writing of the tenured faculty member's request for reassignment within the remaining academic structure of UTSA. The requests must be filed in writing with the Provost no later than 14 days after receiving notification of approval by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and must be accompanied by the details related to the tenured faculty member's qualifications to teach in other academic programs.
- The Provost shall meet individually with the tenured faculty who respond and discuss possible reassignment and shall notify such faculty member in writing regarding the outcome of these discussions within a period of time no longer than 30 days after the meeting, unless the President approves an extension. A reassignment could involve relocation into another academic program, changes in title, changes of duties and responsibilities, and changes in salary and tenure status. In exploring possible academic reassignments for affected tenured faculty, the Provost shall consult with the Dean(s) and faculty of the academic programs for which the tenured faculty member may be qualified. If a mutually satisfactory reassignment cannot be arranged for a tenured faculty member, the faculty member will be informed in writing by the Provost with a statement of the reasons why the tenured faculty member will not be retained in another position.
- The employment of a tenured faculty member terminated under this policy shall not extend beyond the date of the termination of his or her academic program, as stated in the President's request to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Prior to the date for termination and for one additional academic year, the terminated tenured faculty member shall have the right to first consideration among equally qualified candidates for any faculty position at UTSA for which a recruitment and hiring process is conducted and for which the faculty member formally applies.
- Any faculty member who is terminated pursuant to this policy will be informed of employee benefits available, such as retirement, accrued leave, and available insurance continuation, and will be offered assistance with regard to alternative employment opportunities outside the University.

The Mexican government has approved a capital investment plan by airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR) that includes significant expansions to the Cancun International and Veracruz International airports.
The Mexican peso (Ps) 6.33 billion ($483.5 million) programme includes investments in the nine airports that ASUR operates around Mexico from 2014 to 2018, according to a stock exchange filing today.
The operator will invest Ps4.87 billion in Cancun, which does not include Ps698.1 million already committed to the airport, and Ps394.1 million in Veracruz during the period.
Investments in Cancun airport will include the expansion of terminal 3 by 2015 and a new terminal 4 in 2016, says Adolfo Castro, chief executive of ASUR. The terminal 3 expansion will increase capacity by about four million passengers per year, he adds.
"I believe [terminal 4] should be at least six million," says Castro on its passenger capacity, adding that the project is still in planning stages.
Cancun is designed to handle about 17 million passengers per year.
The airport handled 14.5 million passengers during first 11 months of 2013, which is an 8.3% increase compared to the same period in 2012. Passenger traffic has grown at an average annual rate of about 11% during the past few years.
ASUR plans to double the size of Veracruz airport by 2018, says Castro. Passenger capacity will increase to about two million per year by 2018 under the plans approved by the Mexican government.
Investment in the Cozumel, Huatulco, Merida, Minatitlan, Oaxaca and Villahermosa airports includes small expansion projects as well as renovations and upgrades to existing facilities.

This is not the first allegation of misconduct involving Wynn. We need to let go of our blind worship of those we call heroes and examine the facts.
Does the lack of physical evidence scare the hell out of any of you? The burden of proof should be higher than the word of a airline highway drug user, right? What about you civil libertarians and teaparty constitutional scholars?
Do you know what is 100 percent subsidized? The Interstate Highway system. For the governor to cite costs as a factor is a misdirection. Think how many tens of millions of dollars the I-10 at Causeway improvements are costing the state and federal governments. We subsidize All forms of transportation in the US. If you are a small business owner why wouldn't you want greater access to your local market? Oh that's right- big government is evil. Enjoy going broke republican morons!
Mumbo Jumbo! It's freaking 2009. Long live science, you mental midgets.
Another poorly written, cliche-laden post by Mr. Rose. OK, we get it! You have a unique appreciation of our culture, blah blah. How come no native New Orleanians have a meaningful column anymore? Rose's columns have a hollow ring because of his outsider perspective that he passes off as true local insight. Be true to your origins and the writing will follow.
Also, why should my money go to a parish that doesn't even want me to live there? Have we all forgotten that St. Bernard passed racist housing legislation lately and that they voted for David Duke in a higher percentage than just about any other parish in the state when he ran for office. Am I welcome at their catholic churches?
Why don't you do what we did at Epiphany? Raise your own money and build your own churches and schools. Epiphany was built during segregation when the archdiocese was not funding large scale construction in the black community. My family,along with countless others, literally built and funded Epiphany School and Church. Why should that hard work go to you for free? Isn't St. Bernard a conservative/republican community? Why can't you guys do what you preach to others and pull yourself up by your bootstraps? I also thought that you believed in living within your means and not relying on the federal government. Now is the time to live up to your convictions and reject the money.
The money should be spent in the new parish (Corpus Christi)that we are forced to attend now that Epiphany is closed. This is a false choice-either Chalmette gets the money or we lose it?? If a new building can be built in Chalmette with the Fema money, why not at our new parish? This is OUR money that is intended for the rehabilitation of OUR buildings that were built by OUR grandparents and parents.
I live across the street from Epiphany and attended school there. The archdiocese invested nothing and did not build the school. Taking money from a poor black neighborhood and transferring to wealthier white communities is not just unjust but may also speed the exodus of blacks from the Catholic church. Holy Cross did this but kept the 40 million dollars for its new site. Why can't we keep the money at Corpus Christi, our new parish. What are their plans for the site? Why no neighborhood meetings? No notification? The property management people just sprayed the grass and killed it in preparation for demolition. Is this what Jesus would do. Maybe if we had better looking altar boys they would spare our parish.
I live on Duels street, you speak of things that you do not understand. If you put down the lotion, turn off the computer, and get out of your mom's garage you would see that N. Broad between Esplanade and A.P. Tureaud is not a dangerous area. But I am really starting to worry about you posters on this site. Do you really hate your own life so much that you instinctively respond with negative comments about New Orleans. I play a game. When I see a headline I predict the comments, usually racist but sometimes elitist, that will follow. How about a little analysis? Stay classy New Orleans!
For all of you criticizing Honore:
Requesting a 100% damage assessment of Charity is requesting FEMA to turn a blind eye to FRAUD. Drive by Charity and you will see that it was not completely destroyed as Cao FALSELY testified on Capital Hill. I would like a new LSU hospital but not at that price. The same people who are requesting this criminal activity are the same "good government" types that would usually decry this type of fraud. If Jindal wants this building let him raise taxes to build it. Otherwise, rehab Charity with the settlement.
yeah, and I pay for their I-10 offramp even though I never use it, I pay for their police protection when they go to a Saints game, and I pay to educate their kids at state-subsidized universities. GET OVER IT! Turn off the Republican talking points machine that vilifies government and be a patriotic American. Also, you say that you never see St. Martin's kids get in trouble. Check out the background of Ondina Canales. She did some real dirty stuff to my neighbor!

I don't care about name dropping. When these mental midgets are gone we'll be the ones left, in government and outside, to clean up the mess. Remember, these guys have no problem using our good name to pad their resume and wallet, so they should not be afraid of daylight.
Yes the corrupt cop/driver is Roland Doucette.
I worked in his office for a year. He is a self-absorbed liar with a penchant for exaggeration. He does not like black people. When he thought that my girlfriend was white he said that he knew as soon as he graduated college that he, too, could never be with a black woman. When no one is around this is typical of what he believes. Good riddance you moron.
He brought with him from Australia a young blond secretary named Rebbecca Mann to be his aide. She never leaves his side and is paid $80,000 per year and is not an Urban Planner. No questions were ever allowed about her. He also employed a driver named Doucette who was fired from the NOPD for theft. I'll be airing more dirty laundry later.
minds- also look up his comments in a NY Times article when he said that the problem with blacks in New Orleans is that they don't know how to take orders from whites. I don't know why we have given him a pass in this city for so long.

NOVEMBER 2005!!!! I was freaking homeless in NOV of 05 and this moron was flying to Jamaica. That was the last straw.
You masturbatory morons can't figure out whether to be racist or homophobic. By keeping nola.com a repository of your hateful opinions you are doing more to hurt this city and nation than you imagine!

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28, 1998 Military leaders are drawing down the Persian Gulf force to pre-Operation Desert Fox levels, according to Pentagon officials.
The carrier battle group centered around the USS Enterprise is leaving the area for its scheduled tour in the Mediterranean. The USS Carl Vinson, which deployed to the Gulf ahead of schedule, remains in place. The Enterprise group launched most of the Dec. 16 to 19 strikes against Iraqi military targets.
Military leaders withdrew 12 of the 15 B-52 bombers from Diego Garcia, a British protectorate in the Indian Ocean. They also pulled back six B-1 bombers, 10 A-10 attack jets and 10 KC-10 tankers. More than 1,200 soldiers held in Kuwait following Exercise Intrinsic Action to support the operation also headed home.
As it has since the Gulf War, the United States will continue to contain Iraq, said Defense Secretary William S. Cohen. The United States will maintain a strong military presence in the region and enforce U.N.-mandated economic sanctions and no-fly zones, he said.
"We're going to maintain our forces in [such] a way that we could take action with a minimum amount of notice in order to maximize the effectiveness," Cohen told reporters during a late-December trip to the region.
Despite the success of the air campaign in destroying military infrastructure and weapons of mass destruction facilities, Saddam Hussein remains a threat to the region, Cohen said. If the Iraqi dictator he labeled the "master of deception" attempts to reconstitute his capabilities or threaten his neighbors, the United States will take further action.
U.S. Central Command chief Marine Corps Gen. Anthony C. Zinni, traveling with Cohen, said DoD will maintain a continuous, balanced air-ground-and-naval force in the region. The Central Command chief said it will range between 17,000 to 22,000 troops -- depending on whether a carrier or Marine expeditionary unit is in or out of the area.
This force is "sufficient to meet our needs," Zinni said, since "we also have the ability in [the continental United States] to react very quickly." He said prepositioned equipment in theater allows the United States "to close and deploy quickly."
Prior to launching Desert Fox, Zinni beefed up what he called his "core force" with 7,000 more troops, a second carrier battle group and more combat aircraft. He said he called for a flow of reinforcements as a precaution to ensure that if there was an Iraqi counter action, U.S. forces were prepared to react immediately. As it turned out, Zinni said, the Iraqis did not fight back and the operation accomplished its objectives in four days.
As of Dec. 19, the last night of the strikes, Pentagon officials said the air campaign involved 29,900 troops, 37 ships and 348 aircraft. When the mission ended, some crisis response force units stopped enroute to the region, and others arrived shortly thereafter.
"It's a credit to all our forces how rapidly they can react," Zinni remarked. He also commended fellow unified commanders. "The ability to shift forces from one unified command to another very quickly says a lot about the readiness and flexibility of the forward-deployed forces."

Richard Beals' Analysis: An Introduction is a serious textbook for serious students. Intended for advanced undergraduates, this book demands as much personal maturity from the reader as it does mathematical sophistication.
The distinguishing feature of this book is its breadth. It is typical for an introductory analysis text to treat certain fundamental topics with great care, making only passing references (if that) to more sophisticated applications. Beals takes a rather different approach. He clearly views this book as being an introduction to the entire area of analysis, rather than an exposition of a predetermined set of topics. Less than half of the book is dedicated to material which (in the reviewer's experience) would generally appear in a standard introductory course. The remainder deals with more advanced topics, as well as a variety of applications. The last third of the book, in fact, is devoted exclusively to Fourier series and differential equations.
While, technically speaking, this book could be used for a first course in analysis, the title is perhaps something of a misnomer. The important introductory concepts are all discussed, precisely and completely, but often as a stepping-stone to more sophisticated results. Take, for example, the chapter that deals with continuity. Beals spends less than six pages (including exercises) discussing the general properties of continuous functions; after that, he shifts his attention to the spaces C([a,b]) and the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem. While one could argue that six pages are sufficient to his purposes, this transition might seem a bit precipitate to someone encountering these concepts for the first time.
Beals' writing style is characterized by a certain austere elegance. The author has an admirable command of the English language, and he appears unaffected by the excessive informality that has afflicted so many undergraduate textbooks. Apart from a few casual remarks in the introduction, there is virtually no "padding" anywhere in the text. The lemmas, propositions, theorems, and corollaries come in rapid succession, with very little commentary in between. Beals clearly expects a level of discipline from his readers that is comparable to his own.
Analysis: An Introduction is most appropriate for an undergraduate who has already grappled with the main ideas from real analysis, and who is looking for a succinct, well-written treatise that connects these concepts to some of their most powerful applications. Beals' book has the potential to serve this audience very well indeed.
Christopher Hammond is Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Connecticut College.
