Good trip, saw Kim Kardashian , had loads of laughs,
We really enjoyed the tour.
Lots of fun and the tour guide was exceptional.
Great tour. Our guide Rob was the best. He was funny, enthusiastic and really made our tour. Saw parts of NY that I would have never had time to see. Cupcakes for all on the bus. Monitors played scenes from TMZ and trivia games were played for T shirts. Would recommend to all!
The tour guide was informative and energetic. This is my second TMZ tour, my first was in Los Angeles.
great tour guide who shared so much information, even showed me a picture of him and Harvey so i could visualize just how short he is!!! just a great time, long enough and nicely paced!!!
tour guide was excellent.
It was a great way to see shit in NYC.
And I won a shirt !
Tmz Tourrrrrr Tmz tourrrrrrr! Loved watching this show on TV and the fact I saw every hot spot they mention is even better! Sucks that we did not have any cash on us to give to the tour guide.. But would recommend everyone to go on this tour!
I'd do it again. Hope to book a TMZ Tour in LA, then I'll have done coast-to-coast tours!
Warn everyone to call TMZ hours before the tour to verify the pick up address. We were given the wrong address to catch the bus!!!!
The TMZ tour had a great host who kept the tour group engaged. He also provided great tips on bars/cafes to visit, which was also handy.

This trip was entertaining for sure. Basically, it is a show on the bus... and they highlight their tour details with clips from their show. The Tour Guide, Ricky, was hysterical and made the trip entertaining and fun. I would recommend this trip to those who have visited New York before...it gives you a new perspective.
Good tour very enjoyable
It was good but I enjoyed LA TMZ tour better.
The tour was awesome!! Matthew was super fun and informative. The bus was comfortable and clean, although the bathroom could have used some cleaning.
I did enjoy the speaker and all his description. But we didn't see any stars. That same afternoon there were many Stars at a Funeral they should have changed to route to go by that Church.
Very cold day so we did not see any stars walking around! We passed by their residences and saw a few restaurants where they dine on occasion, in addition we heard all the gossip. It was fun and our guide Bob did a good job making us laugh and have a good time. In addition we stop to walk around for 20 minutes, it was an enjoyable time in New York. P.S. I won a TMZ shirt.......V
Tour guide was very entertaining and you was enjoyable. We took the 4:00 tour because we had other plans earlier in day. Was hard to see on dark. You may want to consider earlier tour.
We really enjoyed our tour on Oct 2nd. We had a fun crowd on the bus, and the videos segments are always funny. I even won a TMZ souvenir t-shirt - woo hoo! It was our tour guide's first official tour, and he did great, despite being from Jersey (just kidding). There's no way we would have seen so many interesting neighborhoods (SoHo, Tribeca, the West Side Highway) if we hadn't taken the tour. A Big Thumb's Up!
it was interesting but would not do it again
It was just so-so.
Some of the references were outdated.
Only a few minutes to hop off and see 1 of 3 locations.
If there are a lot of events going on in New York City then maybe you should cancel your tour for one day . I took the TMZ NEW YORK CITY CELEBRITY TOUR. on June 8, 2014. We saw no celebrities which was fine, but we couldn't go down a lot of streets because of the Purto Rican Day parade. Then we had the Tony awards on various other streets. I paid $240.00 for priority seating for four and the bus was half empty.
Just wasn't what I expected. I expected a lot more of excitement on the bus , it just wasn't there. All the person in charged did was to talk about celebrities and show us the T. V. I could of found more exciting things to do in New York City for $240.00. I am a big fan of the TMZ show and watch it almost every night and I think its great. I was so excited about the bus tour, but was let down also, because we finished 45 minutes sooner then the time we were told that the tour would take.

East Lake won a tough battle of Pinellas County's top two teams. The Eagles downed the Largo Packers, 22-0 thanks to a pair of interceptions from USF commit, Devin Abraham.
East Lake started slow last week against Palm Harbor and started slow again tonight. Jake Hudson threw an interception deep in Largo's red zone early in the first quarter. The Packers did not convert the turnover into points, Instead, the Packers threw their own interception, one of two in the first half.
Largo was without it's top two running backs, including last week's 10 News Player of the Week, running back Jarvis Stewart. Midway through the second quarter, the Packers' starting quarterback, Donavan Hale, also had to leave the game with a right foot injury.
Weston Fordham gave East Lake a cushion in the third quarter with his 6-yard touchdown run. That gave the Eagles a 9-0 lead.
The Packers will host Gibbs next weekend. East Lake will host Dunedin. Both of those games are Thursday night.

Ready to LearnHow much kids should be able to learn at 4 years old is at the heart of the reauthorization debate for Head Start, the federal program that helps about 1 million of the nation's poorest and most vulnerable children prepare for school. The Bush administration's proposal to emphasize literacy and academic skills in Head Start has raised new questions and renewed old battles about how young children learn—and when they should be required to show it on a test.November 2003
Level the Learning FieldIf all children are to succeed in school, they need the same opportunities from an early age. Providing high-quality public preschool programs for all children would ensure that each child enters kindergarten on a more level playing field. The public preschool could simulate the early home literacy experiences that many disadvantaged children lack. Providing access to all children would ensure peer modeling and help to close the socioeconomic gaps that too often exist in public schools.November 2003
Can You Hear Me Now?Hearing loss takes a toll on learning. Hearing-impaired children are likely to display delayed speech and language skills and social adjustment problems, all of which contribute to poor overall achievement. Children with severe or profound hearing loss are easy to spot, but those with moderate or minimal hearing problems sometimes go undetected. As a result, many students with minor hearing problems experience a slow but steady decline in academic achievement.May 2003
A Contract for FamiliesFrom birth to age 18, children spend more than 90 percent of their waking hours outside school in an environment that is heavily conditioned, both directly and indirectly, by families. Yet, the thrust of formal education policy is devoted overwhelmingly to school improvement, ostensibly to raise student achievement and improve educational equity. For children to succeed, true education reform needs to take place outside the classroom, too.December 2003

No no no... on OS X, the 'party line' is to not replace the Python in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework *at all*, not even with a self-compiled Python of the same version. This is something quite different from having Stackless pop up when you type 'python' into a Terminal.

Is There Anyone Else?
Posted by MK | Filed under Bible Study
"Is there anyone else left?"
It seems like a simple question, doesn't it? You and I might ask it when we're leaving a building and it's our job to turn out the lights, so we turn back at the door and shout out, "Anyone left in here?" Then, when no answer comes, we shut it down, lock the door, and head home. When we ask the question, it's really done in a spirit of checking things off the list. We've done our duty, stayed until the end of this or that thing, and now we want to be done. But before we are, we've got to make sure there's no one left. In fact, if indeed there was a shout back from that room we are closing up, we would respond by telling the person that they don't have to go home, but they can't stay here. Because we want to be done. Over. Locked up and closed down.
But when David asked the question in 1 Samuel 9, he did so with an entirely different attitude. Here was the once neglected shepherd boy who, against all rational thought, had risen to power through a series of amazing and relationships and military conquests. But to say it like that might make it seem like the road had been easy for David – that he just sort of sat back and let the providence of God wash over Him. And it wasn't like that at all. He had fought, and he had fought hard. He had battled military enemies as well as those who were supposed to be his allies but had turned on him in fits of jealous rage. In fact, when he did finally rise to power as a general, he had spent years in exile from the very homeland God had chosen for him to rule, chased day and night by a madman bent on his destruction. Then, before his throne was secure, he had to keep fighting in order to bring order from the chaos left in the wake of the previous regime.
It was an incredibly long road. But now? Now he had the throne. Now he had the power. Now all the promises that had been only words before were actually becoming reality. And that's what makes the question so surprising:
"Is there anyone remaining from Saul's family I can show kindness to because of Jonathan?" (2 Samuel 9:1).
Tough to imagine what the reaction in the room might have been when those words came out of the new king's mouth. Seriously? From the family of Saul? Saul – the guy that's been chasing you? That's been trying to kill you? Maybe you don't remember that whole "pin you to the wall with a spear" incident.
David's question didn't come from a sense of obligation – that he had some kind of responsibility and couldn't wait to get it done so he could get on with the rest of his business; it came from a heart of generosity. He was actively looking. Searching. Imploring. Surely there must be someone I can show kindness to. But then again – that's what grace is like isn't it?
When you get a little grace, you start asking, "Who else?" Cause there must be someone. You don't do it because you feel obligation; you do it because you have, even for a moment, stood back and reflected on exactly who you are and where you are and the sense of it is overwhelming. It must be shared. It must be poured out:
"Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children. And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God" (Ephesians 5:1-2).
Is there anyone else left? You bet there is. And you and I are going to meet a lot of them today.

The Trial of FrostComplete the Trial of Frost by gathering 20 Essence of Ice without getting hit by Frostburn.
|Frost Trial Completed
DescriptionYou know, some of my apprentices have called me cold hearted. I always say though, I shall not let the temperature of my body parts stand in the way of true learning.
To reach the Trial of Frost, touch the Frost crystal to open a portal. Once there, the goal is quite simple - gather the little floaty ice orb thingies.
To counter the simple, the rotating Frostburns may put back your progress, as it were. If you want to be fancy, you can use the rune traps to jump over them as they rotate by. Neat, eh?
Brilliant. You certainly don't let cold feet stop you. Or cold any part for that matter!
No? ...too soon?

It's really less than 20% overall.

Searing sound with enough punch for any need.
The Randall RD112-D speaker cabinet features a single 12" speaker rated at 50W, voiced to pair with the Diavlo series metal-geared heads and combos. While the ruggedly constructed cabinet box is square, the custom-designed Randall speaker is mounted to an angled baffle to help project your sound and highlight more high frequencies.

Comments about Randall RD112-D Diavlo 1x12 Angled Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I downsized my stage gear from 2-4x12" cabs to 2-2x12" cabs and now use two of these on stage as a stereo set up for my guitar rig (Stereo tube power amp and digital FX processor). They're small yet project well and don't take up half the stage or hurt my back. The slanted baffle is perfect for projecting sound. They are surprisingly solidly built and heavier than I thought they would be, so I installed wheels. Sound is surprisingly good for a 1x12" cabinet.

Seven shades of summer-A A +A
Thursday, May 29, 2014
SCHOOL might be reopening soon, but if the heat is any indication, there's no need to say goodbye to the fun vibe of summer and weekends at the beach just yet. At a recent fashion event in the Northwing of SM City Cebu, Prism: Seven Shades of Summer showed how Cebuanos celebrate personal style as varied as the shades of the rainbow.
The latest looks from different retail brands were paraded in fun orange, fiery red, fruity yellow, tropical green, ocean blue, urban indigo and tribal purple for fresh new ideas to wear color.
For allover prints, bold tropical florals are trending instead of small pastel ones.
But to practice print mixing, try prints in varying scales of the same color family.
Anchor head-to-toe prints with solid-hued accessories that either match or pop against the colors of a busy outfit.
Printed trousers or shorts in comfortable fabrics are great for our weather year-round. Guys can wear them with a graphic T-shirt, while girls can pair them with a sporty top and heels. Scared to add bulk to a frame? Try a smaller print or muted tones instead of lots of splashy colors.
To experiment away from the safer look of matching a bright color with a neutral, try adding another bright color. Colors can work together if done in similar shade intensities—pastel with pastel, and neon with neon. In this case, try to include just one print, or the outfit may become overwhelming.
To ease into the color-on-color trend, choose pieces in simpler silhouettes like a bustier top with a pencil or maxi skirt for girls, or mixing in a stonewash denim shirt or jeans for guys.
These style and color trends were worn by models and stylish local personalities. Siblings Kim and Karl Arcenas, Kathrynne and Kirk Cuizon, Ange and Marie Hussenet, Tomas and Marcel Pesch, Regina and Julie Urbina, and Patrice and Thiza Uytengsu walked the runway.
Cool couples Charles and Barbie Calunod, Randy and Angel Pages, Miko Santos and Antonette Ynoc, Taino and Judy Tenney, and Carlo and Stephanie Villarica also took the stage.
Even pint-sized fashionistas took their picks for their summer wardrobes. Finn Aldeguer, Jack Booth, Sabi Fernan, Ariana Gonzalez, Jacob Hyatt, Tamara Jarque, Elizabeth Zoe Lee, and Amalia Ugarte were the littlest models but possibly the audience's biggest favorites.

Have Scientists Finally Found Dark Matter? | New Algorithm from the Times Finds Haikus 'In the Wild' | Is This Plagiarism? | The Solutionism Trap
Here's a recipe for global domination: Insult nearly all of your neighbors, cancel a cease fire, promise to teach lessons to old enemies, and then turn New York City into a sea of fire.
Dark matter makes up more than 80 percent of the matter in the universe. But up until now, it's eluded scientists. Yesterday, however, NASA announced a possible breakthrough. A particle detector mounted on the International Space Station may have detected dark matter. Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains.
From a very young age, we're told to be honest, to tell the truth, and not to cheat. In most cases, we know when we're breaking those rules. But in others, it's not always so clear. Take, for example, journalism in the digital age.
The New York Times' latest technological gadget is the haikubot, a poetry-seeking piece of software engineering that combs the text of every New York Times article as it's published in search of the 5-7-5 syllable pattern that identifies a haiku.
Think about this: Nearly 15 percent of people aged 71 or older, about 3.8 million people, have dementia. By 2040, that number will balloon to 9.1 million people. And costs are expected to rise accordingly.
Technology can turn dry reporting into poetry and can revolutionize newsrooms, but it can drive us crazy — and make us less unproductive too. Evgeny Morozov says the trouble might not be in the technology itself, but how we think about it.

Several community leaders and donors attended Friday morning's ribbon-cutting, including Abilene Mayor Norm Archibald and representatives from Abilene's Dodge Jones Foundation and the Abilene Chamber of Commerce.
According to a statement from Tech, 100 students currently are enrolled in the TTUHSC School of Nursing in Abilene. An enrollment of an additional 104 students is anticipated by 2015.
The facility contains classrooms, laboratories and a large simulation center, said Pearl Merritt, regional dean of the TTUHSC School of Nursing in Abilene.
The aforementioned center is "high tech," Merritt said, and features about 15 special training mannequins.
Such equipment "provides an opportunity where they can have hands-on interaction with the mannequins and learn procedures that they would not be able to learn at the hospital," Merritt said, all in a "more one-on-one" environment.
The road to the eventual construction of the facility started in March 2008, when the TTUHSC School of Nursing partnered with Hendrick Health System to establish a Web-based second-degree nursing program in Abilene, according to a timeline provided by the school.
Students in that program gain clinical experience at Hendrick Medical Center and in local community-based agencies and clinics.
The school then expanded its traditional bachelor of science in nursing program to Abilene in May 2009. Other programs available to Abilene and area residents include the online RN to BSN program and various graduate programs.
Tech also has forged an agreement with Cisco College and is planning to present a proposal to the Texas Board of Nursing in April, Merritt said, with a goal of starting an licensed vocational nurse to registered nurse program in the fall.
"Once they have the LVN to RN program, then they can come to Texas Tech to get the RN to BSN," she said.
Merritt said students come to Abilene from Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and various other areas of Texas to attend TTUHSC, and many choose to stay in Abilene after graduation.
"This means a lot to the Abilene economy because many people in Abilene and surrounding areas want to stay in Abilene," she said, speaking after the morning's presentation.
The facility also will help provide nurses to nearby rural areas, she said.
"Many of our students have already gotten jobs at Abilene Regional (Medical Center) and at Hendrick," she said. "So that helps with the shortage of nursing."
Speaking after the event, Tim Lancaster, president of Hendrick Health System and a Texas Tech regent, said that all of Abilene's now manifold nursing programs are vital to the future of health care in the area.
"We need Patty Hanks Shelton, we need Cisco (College) and Texas State Technical College, and we need Abilene Christian University," Lancaster said. "Even with all of these programs, we have a shortage of nurses that we can't supply the need. And when we bring new physicians into Hendrick, that means we need additional nurses to bring in. So it's (an issue of) supply and demand."
Echoing Merritt, Lancaster said nursing students come to Abilene from "all over the state and sometimes all over the country."
"Not all of them want to stay in Abilene or choose to stay in Abilene," he said. "But the more that we train, it allows us to keep more in Abilene."
Nina Ouimette, dean of the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing in Abilene, currently a consortium made up of Hardin-Simmons University, McMurry University and Abilene Christian University, said there continues to be a nursing shortage in rural areas of Texas.
"So schools in the area are working toward alleviating that need together with our health care partners," Ouimette said.
ACU, which is starting its own nursing program, will be a member of the consortium until June 1, Ouimette said.
Becky Hammack, dean of ACU's upcoming BSN program, said that Abilene has "never had so many options to nursing education as it has at the present time," calling it "wonderful" that students can "pick their schools and avenues of education."
"Plus local health care facilities should have great choices when they hire nurses," Hammack said. "Taking that into account, this should be one of the best times for nursing in Abilene. That is just my opinion."

The [FAT] project in it's entirety. For Toronto's alternative fashion week 2008 ([FAT]) I approached the event organizers about my photographic submission. I was told that I would be showing on the Friday night of the three day event and that the theme for the night was "conflict". I asked if I could use some of the actual designs and models that would be on the runway and stage high fashion girl fights. Lots of kitsch and lots of colour. The collection of images was then projected on a large video screen while the girls and the dresses in the photos paraded up and down the catwalk. Worked out well and was a tonne of fun to shoot and create. I guess runway girls don't often get to do much fighting in front of a camera - they seemed to have a blast doing it.

Quote from: Laudate omnes gentes on November 21, 2010, 03:03:20 PM[...] Even such a "masculine gay man" is unprepared for the inter-male struggle for dominance that accepting and conforming to the conventional heterosexual norm requires, and he is especially unable ever to view women first and last as simply "objects to @ # ! *." [...]I doubt it that all straight men consider women, at least their wives, simply as "whores."
[...] Even such a "masculine gay man" is unprepared for the inter-male struggle for dominance that accepting and conforming to the conventional heterosexual norm requires, and he is especially unable ever to view women first and last as simply "objects to @ # ! *." [...]
For one Freud has pointed to the sexual, and indeed the homoerotic, origins of political authority. He studied totemism and sought to locate the origins of the group, publishing "Totem and Taboo" in 1913. Although this is a very debatable work on his part, he did maintain in his later works that paternal proscription of sexual relations with the women of the clan passes to exogamy through homoerotic bonding. Freud locates the origins of the sons' collective organization, their ability to challenge the father's sexual monopoly, in "the homosexual feelings and activities which probably manifested themselves during the time of their banishment." The father's imposition of heterosexual austerities on his sons pushes them into mutual erotic identification, "into group psychology." After killing the primal father, the sons agree that all the clan's women would be denied them. In "Totem and Taboo" Freud made homoerotics into a substitution for heteroerotics, one standing at the origin of the first social contract, the sons' renunciation of the women of the clan as sensuous objects, and their conversion into sexual property to be exhanged exogamously. If exogamous heterosexuality is an original consequence of social organization, endogamous homosexuality is its original source. He never wavered on this foundational basis of modern social organization. Indeed in "Group Psychology and the Analysis of Ego" Freud makes heterosexual desire into an enemy of social organization, whereas "desexualized, sublimated homosexual love for other, which springs from work in common" is a "civilizing factor." There is no room for woman as a sexual object, he writes, in the great artificial groups of society. The implication is, of course, that there is a place for men as sexual objects. "It seems certain," he writes, "that homosexual love is far more compatible with group ties, even when it takes the shape of uninhibited sexual impulsion..." If in his mythico-history he makes the homoerotics of the rother clan the mediation between the primal horde and exogamous patriarchy, in his clinical studies he makes homoerotics integral to the formation of the male individual ego, to masculine identification, and to the psychic operation of authority more generally.Paternal identification also transmutes a homosexual object-choice, one that is at the heart of sociality. Just like the totemic clan the individual subject is formed through bodily representation. In "Ego and Id," he argues that the self - the ego - is first figured through an imagined body, a sexed morphological imaginary. The imagined body in whose bounded image ego formation takes place during the "mirror stage" has a sex. The male self is both formed and sexed as a resolution of an inhabitation of the bodily form of paternal authority, an outside which is in us, but not of us, but the condition for our being. This homoerotic loss initiates the ego as a perceptual object, as a container for reflexively turned, unavowable erotic desire and sadistic rage at its loss and unhabitatibility. That desire is both refused and retained in a melancholic gender identification, an ungrievable loss. Men want to have the femininity they can never be and want to be the masculinity they can never have. The habitable space of gender is grounded in an uninhabitable space of sex. Paternal identification solves not one, but two problems in this sexual economy. Group formation likewise operates through paternal identification, which, like his murder, is enabled through homoerotic solidarity among the sons. Immediately after explaining in "Group Psychology" that the introjected paternal object is a substitute for the libidinal object tie with the woman, Freud launches into the genesis of male homosexuality, the boy's failure to give up the mother as a cathected object, the "negative" Oedipal complex, the transformation of the male ego on the model of the female. Boy becomes girl mirroring the way in which he has the man, through the matrilineal totem, becoming woman. Group formation is a quintessentially masculine, yet involves men being womanly.Freud makes homosocial energy the basis of solidarity in complex groups and locates the origin of the social in a renunciation of heterosexual desire. He derives the experience of consubstantiality of totem and man from a fleshy family, from the mother-child bond and the son's deferred identification with the father. Durkheim, in contrast, derives consubstantiality from the experience of a wider social, a representation of embodied oneness with other men. Freud's is an imaginary resolution to a scarce heterosexual economy, while Durkheim's is an imaginary expression of a fulfilled homosocial congress. In point of fact, Freud's clinical theory of individual development is more consistent with Durkheim's account of totemism than is his own historical mythology. In turn, Durkheim, points to the truth, and indeed a liberatory aspect, of Freud's homoerotic theory. For what in Freud is a feminizing, violent subordination to masculine hierarchy, is, in Durkheim, a masculinizing, non-violent, non-hierarchical assimilation. Freud eroticizes power; Durkheim does not. Both Durkheim and Freud make somatics into a constituent of semiosis, an immanent relation between individual and collective bodies, as metaphor, mechanics, and energitics of collective representation. Is it possible that the establishment of the state is itself a sexual act, a double separation of two sexes, woman and man, heterosexual and homosexual, that the state not only has a sex, but is a sex?

Downtown Ogdensburg is going to be humming this summer with new business and construction activity thanks to the city planning boards approval Tuesday of three projects.
The board voted 5-0 in favor of approving both preliminary and final site plan reviews for:
* United Helpers plans to move its day habilitation, staff training and other operations from its former Cedars Nursing Home, 6695 Route 37, town of Oswegatchie, to the ex-Filtran Inc. building, 102 Ford St.
* Plattsburgh developer Gilbert J. Jones will build two 1,200-square-foot apartments with six more to follow at the former Ramada Inn hotel at 119 W. River St., which he also plans to renovate for opening in 2013.
* River Valley Tanning will open an 800-square-foot salon in a former doctors office at 230 Ford St.
Voting in favor of the three site plans were chairman Timothy J. Redmond, Joshua K. Blair, Paul Stevenson, Frank Perretta and Linda Pellett.
United Helpers plans to convert the 15,000-square-foot ex-Filtran building into a place for classrooms, meeting rooms and offices for 30 employees and a daily estimated 25 developmentally disabled clients.
Administrator Michele M. Montroy said the agency has to be out of the Route 37 building by September. Its purchase by town of Oswegatchie businessman James Ma is pending closure, she said.
At the same time, United Helpers has two undisclosed backup sites in the city to pursue in case the Ford Street building proposal falls through.
Mr. Jones will demolish the section of the former hotel that contains its indoor pool - which will be taken out - to make room for the two apartments and parking.
That will be done this summer, by which time he expects to have a nearby 47-slip marina on the Oswegatchie River reopened with fuel sales and a harbormasters kiosk.
The hotel will be back in business in 2013, Mr. Jones said.
It will be renovated from its current 76-room layout to 35 rooms larger than the originals.
Mr. Jones will call his $1.2 million investment the Riverfront Marina and Hotel and hopes he will be the one to turn it into an anchor for the citys marina district.
Since it opened in 1992, the hotel has been through a succession of owners, name changes, franchise affiliations, foreclosures and, ultimately, closings.
The stucco building has also been vandalized, burglarized and hit with city code enforcement violations.
Keith D. Morgan said that he and his wife, Caitlin E., plan to open the tanning salon as soon as possible and certainly by this summer.
The Morgans own and operate the nearby Busy Corner Cafe, 234 Ford St.

Editor's note: With offseason work across the league coming to an end, the focus shifts to the steamy summer workouts ahead. To get you fully primed for the preseason and beyond, Sporting News provides in-depth looks at all 32 teams leading into training camp. Today: Chicago Bears. Prediction: Fourth, NFC North. Up next: AFC South.
Quarterback Jay Cutler's last free pass might have left Chicago with former coach Lovie Smith.
Since Cutler's arrival, it's been everybody else's fault. It was the offensive coordinator's fault, the offensive line's fault, the receivers' faults. In 2012, it was the head coach's fault.
With several starters in contract years, new Bears coach Marc Trestman has the luxury of evaluating who best fits his offense, even if general manager Phil Emery refuses to call this a rebuilding season.
"Not in the NFL," Emery says. "The goal is to win championships, and that is the same goal every year and it will continue to be that goal."
Five potential changes could occur at starting offensive positions, but Cutler is still expected to pick up a new system, produce and win anyway. In essence, the new sheriff in town will try to turn the gunslinger into a cool-and-calculating marksman If not, Cutler could be the next one leaving after four years of unfulfilled expectations in what looks like an evaluation year—if not a rebuilding one—in Chicago.
WR Alshon Jeffery
Jeffery spent much of the offseason working out with Brandon Marshall to hone his skills and improve conditioning. As a rookie, that poor conditioning in early OTAs and later injuries limited Jeffery to 10 games, 24 receptions and 367 yards. The Bears need more from him in Year 2. It didn't start well with a hamstring injury in OTAs.
DE Julius Peppers
"Julius Peppers is still in what you'd have to call a dominant phase. By that I mean he's a guy who requires double-team blocks. You may not even slow him up much just by chipping him. He's never been only a pass-rush guy and always has been an end with great recognition who gets down the line to blow up the interior runs as they start. He's not a high-energy Jared Allen-type, but he's sure not lazy like some people suggest.
"I see, really, no difference in his game now than when he was younger. What you might see this year with a different coaching staff is more sacks from him—even more big plays. They could let him freelance more. The way the Bears played their 4-3 scheme required a lot of discipline from ends. They contained first, especially with the mobile (QBs). It was always 'funnel it inside.' I always felt Peppers was restrained somewhat in Chicago."
Trestman earned a reputation for a wide-open offense in the CFL and as a NFL assistant, but he's not a reckless gambler. He's also not stubborn. Trestman will use the run, and he brings a practical, exciting approach to offense. Whether he becomes too offense-oriented and can't cater to his defense, if it's the Bears' team strength, is still open to discussion.
An opponent breaks down the Bears
"They never really seemed to achieve close to what they wanted on offense, and a lot of their offense was because of their defense. A lot of their offensive problem is personnel, but they've always been trying to push their system on people. (Mike) Martz did it. (Mike) Tice just had that one year, but he was doing it.
"Marc Trestman doesn't operate that way. He's going to use what he has. It's his system, but he's flexible and is going to use the talent the best way he can to keep chains moving, keep defenses on their heels guessing. He did it when he was (an NFL) coordinator. From what I understand, they operated this way in Canada, too. You expect a more consistent offense from the Bears. Even though (Jay) Cutler hasn't been what you'd want from a guy with his arm, Trestman will get the talent out of him. He always does. Always. Don't be surprised if it starts happening early in the season. Marc doesn't seem like he needs adjustment periods."
Trestman came from the Canadian Football League, but his offensive background is influenced by legendary coach Bill Walsh. The Bears will run a version of the West Coast attack that features shorter quarterback drops, fewer deep routes and more involvement from running backs and tight ends in the passing game. Offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer might add a touch of the Saints' offense, but Trestman will call his own plays. It's an offense with a big, complicated playbook.
Cutler looked like anything but a West Coast quarterback in 2012. He held the ball too long and targeted Brandon Marshall too much. Cutler regressed into a see-and-throw quarterback rather than one who passes in rhythm. Cutler hasn't run an offense like Trestman's since Ron Turner was offensive coordinator for Chicago in 2009. It will be interesting to see if Cutler makes a conversion back to the three-step, five-step drop approach. Cutler has never posted a quarterback rating over 88.1 in a full season as starter, and the West Coast attack demands higher efficiency. A rating of 90 or better will be expected from him.
It's ironic the Bears let Jason Campbell leave in free agency because he never fit Mike Tice's offense, but his safer, less-risky approach would have been ideal with Trestman. Chicago retained Josh McCown but needs for a young passer to emerge as Cutler's backup if no potential successor exists. GRADE: B-
The new rule preventing running backs from lowering their head to run through defenders in the open field should not affect Matt Forte, although he was among the backs who voiced his displeasure. Forte isn't a power back, and when Michael Bush landed on injured reserve, the Bears lacked a hard-running, short-yardage presence.
Yet Forte is valuable, especially in the new offensive system. He was not used properly in 2012. One of Forte's biggest strengths is catching passes out of the backfield, and he had a career-low 44 receptions.
Given Trestman's West Coast lineage, Forte can count once again on becoming a player in the passing attack. Poor play-calling and injuries kept Forte between 203-258 carries the last four years after he was overworked with 316 carries as a rookie. Forte should be fresh to impress as the breakaway threat.
Bush averaged 3.6 yards per carry, a solid number for a short-yardage back. He figures to be an asset as a runner, blocker and receiver. Expect Trestman to use change-of-pace back Armando Allen effectively in the passing game. Allen has outstanding hands and speed. The decision to cut troubled fullback Evan Rodriguez led to the signing of Tony Fiammetta, who can be more of a traditional fullback type in this offense. GRADE: B.
Emery had previously said Chicago needed a receiving threat in the middle of the field. Acquiring tight end Martellus Bennett solved this. Bennett's presence should help Marshall, who set the franchise record with 118 catches last year. Marshall was targeted on 194 of the team's 485 pass attempts.
Many of Marshall's catches came in the five-to-10-yard range, but Bennett should open up the field and create more yards after the catch for the other receivers. Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Earl Bennett should be more effective as a result. Jeffery and Marshall are adept at back-shoulder plays, and the new offense allows Cutler more opportunities to make those throws. Like Marshall and Jeffery, Bennett provides good hands.
What this group needs to develop is a blazer who runs deep routes and takes the top off a defense, someone with scary speed who can turn short passes into breakaways. The Bears had this with Johnny Knox before his career-ending back surgery. They thought they had it in Devin Hester but discovered his limitations as a route-runner and inability to adjust to the ball in the air. As a result, Chicago phased Hester out of the offense. The Bears brought back Devin Aromashodu, who spent the past two seasons with the Vikings, but he doesn't really fill the bill. GRADE: B-
Adding free agent Jermon Bushrod provides a major upgrade at left tackle over J'Marcus Webb. Bushrod's familiarity with Kromer in New Orleans made for an ideal addition. Bushrod's maturity and ability to make adjustments set him apart from Webb, who will find it difficult to win a job at right tackle. Jonathan Scott will fight for that spot. Division rivals Clay Matthews and Jared Allen owned Webb last season—and that's a problem the Bears have to figure out.
Much like every year, it seems, the line remains Chicago's biggest question mark. Center Roberto Garza is 34 and the guard spots are manned by different players. Rookie Kyle Long should get every chance to start at right guard. Free-agent acquisition Matt Slauson is at left guard. His strength was pass blocking with the Jets, which can't hurt with a unit that last year considered it an improvement to allow 44 sacks, eighth most in the NFL. All the changes on the line mean it will take time to build a cohesive unit. GRADE: D
New defensive coordinator Mel Tucker is familiar with a variety of 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, but he is smart enough to stick with what works in Chicago. Tucker's version of the Cover 2 and 4-3, however, could involve more blitzing than what Love Smith used.
There might not be the same extreme emphasis on outside-shoulder technique in pass coverage. With linebacker Brian Urlacher retired after being left unsigned, finding on-field leadership from other veterans is the first task for Tucker.
Julius Peppers remains the key for the pass rush, but other threats developed in 2012. Corey Wootton assumed a starting end role, and rookie end Shea McClellin displayed glimpses of ability despite several injuries. McClellin needs to do better than the 14 total tackles he posted, however.
A key to this year's line was retaining defensive tackle Henry Melton with a franchise tag. Melton, coming off his first Pro Bowl, finally grasped how to play the run and is a versatile performer. Peppers shows no sign of age at 33 years old. He gutted out an aggravating foot condition and finished with 11.5 sacks last season, his best total in three years with Chicago. Melton's emergence will make it even easier for Peppers by reducing double teams. Nose tackle Stephen Paea has been effective against the run, but needs consistency and to become more of a closer on pass rush.
Part of the line's success last year stemmed from enough depth that Peppers played close to 75 percent of snaps, his lowest total with the Bears. Depth could be in question this season, but tackle Nate Collins returns after proving valuable as a reserve last year against the run and pass. Whether or not the line has the depth needed to keep Peppers and other starters rested could depend on free-agent pickups Sedrick Ellis, Kyle Moore and Andre Fluellen. GRADE: A-
This group has two new starters in D.J. Williams and James Anderson, who replace Urlacher and Nick Roach. Williams should actually be an improvement over the aging, injured Urlacher, who played in just 12 games last year. Anderson takes the strong side for Roach. The key is whether or not Williams leaves his off-field problems behind and if Lance Briggs, who turns 33 in November, plays at the same high level. Briggs' spot on the weak side remains the most important linebacker position in the scheme.
Last year some of Urlacher's past Cover 2 responsibilities were shifted to others because of his knee problem. Williams doesn't have the range of a young Urlacher, and he lacks experience in this scheme, but Williams covers and adapts well. The development of depth at these positions is a major focus because there has been little beyond Briggs and Urlacher for years. Rookies Khaseem Greene and Jonathan Bostic will get every chance to contribute on special teams, battle Anderson for playing time and fill in behind Williams and Briggs. GRADE: B-
Tim Jennings' jump to a Pro Bowl player proved the greatest surprise of 2012. Now in a contract year, Jennings needs to keep producing turnovers the way he did last year. Charles Tillman became even craftier getting back the football than in years past, and continues to draw top receiver assignments. The 32-year-old two-time Pro Bowler is as lockdown as a zone cornerback can be.
Safeties Major Wright and Chris Conte are underrated. When healthy and together, they've let the Bears secondary make it tough on everyone except Green Bay. The secondary has 31 interceptions against 19 TDs allowed when Conte and Wright start together, and they hold quarterbacks to a 68.9 passer rating. Conte's strong suit is getting deep to prevent big plays. Whether Tucker's scheme uses him in this role all the time might dictate duo's future success. Wright gradually developed more consistency last season.
There is depth at cornerback with Kelvin Hayden and Zack Bowman, and at safety with Craig Steltz, Anthony Walters, Tom Zbikowski and Brandon Hardin. GRADE: B+
The Bears have been among the best on special teams for the past decade, and enough talent exists for that to continue. The big question is whether or not a 30-year-old Hester returns to form returning punts and kicks. Last season, Hester failed to get a return touchdown for the first time since 2009. He spent last season running backwards, sideways and misfielding punts. That must change.
Kicker Robbie Gould developed better range. He ranks fifth among active kickers in career field-goal percentage at 85.6 percent. Punter Adam Podlesh is coming off of the two best net-punting seasons in team history. Long snapper Patrick Mannelly is entering his 16th year and has enjoyed a career without any glaring mistakes. Solid coverage units will receive a boost by the return of Sherrick McManis. GRADE: A-
A team going through change still has enough talent returning on defense and special teams to make the playoffs. That hope rests on the offensive line, scheme change and Cutler. If line personnel changes and the quicker timing passes give Cutler a chance to throw under less duress, the only question will be how fast the quarterback and receivers develop timing. A slow offensive start should be expected, and an aging defense might lack the strength to bear this burden.

what can i expect should i go with breast implants and then get pregnant? does the pregnancy cause the breast swelling to become abnormally painful? do stretch marks appear more often?
Breast Implants Pregnancy
Doctor Answers 45
Promoted Local Answer
Breast implants and pregnancy.
With pregnancy, the breast certainly enlarges. Generally it is not a painful process. Women do get a sense of being engorged. If there are going to be stretch marks it is not from the implant, but from the hormones of pregnancy and the enlargement of the natural breast tissue.
I think of three groups when I think of the post pregnancy breast with implants.
In group one the breasts will swell up, and then shrink up after pregnancy but look about the same. Unfortunately, this is the rarest case.
In group two, the breasts will swell, and then after they shrink up there will be some degree of droop or laxity, which does not require surgery and in fact can sometimes make the breast look even more natural than with an implant alone. This is common.
In the third group the breast will swell up but after it shrinks up it will take on so much droop or laxity that make patients may consider a larger implant to fill out the loose skin, or a lift or tightening of the breast.
Unfortunately you just can't know which group you're going to be in until after childbearing. The key is to know that there are always a options available to you.
I hope that this is been helpful to you.
88 Breast Implants questions answeredRead Adam Tattelbaum, MD's answers
Breast Implants and Pregnancy
Thank you for your question. Pregnancy after having breast implants is quite common. The breast will enlarge during pregnancy but I have never known of a patient who found this painful or who had problems.
The breast gland does atrophy after pregnancy and will probably be smaller than before pregnancy. The implants can help maintain your breast size.
Be careful about weight gain during pregnancy. If you gain too much weight too fast then the breast may sag and require lifting after pregnancy.
Web reference: http://drseckel.com/surgical-procedures/result-oriented-breast-augmentation-breast-enlargement/
Pregnancy after Breast Implants
Patients with breast implants will notice enlargement of the breasts with the hormonal surge that is associated with pregnancy. This increase in volume will resolve once pregnancy and breast feeding is completed. The enlargement of the breasts may be associated with stretch marks if there is rapid weight gain or enlargement of the breast with pregnancy.
Web reference: http://www.karemd.com

How do breasts with implants change with pregnancy?
Your breasts will change with pregnancy, that is a given. They will enlarge, but the degree of enlargement is going to be different for every woman. Changes will come with that enlargement. At the very least, the skin will become looser, and frequently the breasts will be smaller after pregnancy. Because the skin will stretch, stretch marks may form, and this is also common.
When breast implants are placed before pregnancy, they do sometimes cause stretch marks, but not that often. The occurrence of stretch marks after breast augmentation is unpredictable, but much less common than after pregnancy, so one could say that having implants is not going to result in more stretch marks after pregnancy than if the implants had not been present.
What you may note after pregnancy is that the implants do not sit as high and fill out the breast/skin envelope as before. Some women will then choose to have a second augmentation or lift/augmentation combination, because as they say, the breasts are less "perky". Using a larger implant will fill up the skin envelope, or if the skin is too loose, a skin-reducing lift can restore the original higher position of the implant. If tightness without change in volume is desire, only a lift can be done.
Web reference: http://www.enhanced-you.com/breastsurgery/breast-lift/
Breast Implants Before Pregnancy
About sixty percent of my patients undergo breast augmentation before they have children. However, if a patient is expecting to become pregnant within 6 to 12 months of the augmentation, I suggest that she postpone the augmentation until after the birth of her child. By allowing a year interval, the effects of the surgery will be completely healed and the presentation of the breasts will be easily identified. I routinely place the implants beneath the muscle, which helps prevent adding additional stress to the skin during pregnancy. It also does not interfere with the possibility of breast-feeding. Pregnancy itself frequently causes changes in the shape of the breast, withch are unpredictable. In our experience the breast implants do not cause those changes to be anything more than would be expected.
Breast Implants and Pregnancy
Breast implants do not pose difficulties for pregnancy.
- The changes in the breast that accompany pregnancy are not altered by the presence of breast implants.
- Breast implants will not change how your breast will grow and produce milk.
- Breast implants do not affect the amount of fullness or discomfort you might feel as your breasts enlarge with pregnancy and nursing.
- Breast implants should not influence your decision to nurse your baby.
- Stretch marks may occur as a result of the changes in your breast size during pregnancy; there is no evidence that the presence of implants will influence the likelihood of developing stretch marks.
Web reference: http://drzwiebel.com/breast-augmentation-denver/
Breast Implants before pregnancy will have variable results
This is really a complicated issue in that unless you have already been pregnant you realy don't know how your individual breasts will react when your milk comes in. Most patients increase by a cup size with engorgement which in most cases won't cause any trouble IF a reasonable sized implant was used in the first place-- that is, one that matched the original breast tissue. In fact, the majority of my patients who get pregnant after having implants do well and probably come out looking better than if they hadn't had implants in the beginning. The breast typically deflates a bit after the first pregnancy and having an implant in place already helps camouflage this.
If however, you have overly large implants to begin with, usually 400cc or more, then the additional increase in size of engorgement on top of tissues that are probably being stretched beyond their limit may just be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Just one more reason to be sure to have a realistic size implant in the first place.
Pregnancy after Breast Augmentation
Since so many of my patients who have breast augmentation are in their 20's and 30's, it is very common for them to become pregnant afterwards. Most patients will return to their pre-pregnancy breast size once they are done breast-feeding. Occasionally, patients will lose some volume once they have finished breast-feeding but for the most part they remain happy with their size.
Breast Shape After Aug and Pregnancy
Thanks for your question -
It is a complicated question. It does make some sense that during pregnancy your breast size will likely increase. The implants will probably add to that total final volume - meaning that your pregnancy breasts will be larger with implants than without.
Whether that will lead to stretch marks or breast sagging is impossible to say for sure and whether you would have had the same problems of stretch marks or sagging with or without implants is also impossible to say.
I hope this helps.
Breast implants and pregnancy
If you are planning an imminent pregnancy, I would recommend waiting until after pregnancy to have breast augmentation. Women's breasts get larger with pregnancy and breast feeding. Most breast will return to a near baseline size. Some breasts will lose volume and appear deflated and some will stay larger than before pregnancy. There is no way to predict this since it has to do with the sensitivity of the breast tissue to the hormones. Therefore, since it is difficult to predict how the breast will look, I would recommend waiting until after pregnancy, so that a more consistent breast augmentation result can be achieved. If you are going to get pregnant in several years and desire breast augmentation, this would make more sense to have it done before pregnancy. Stretch marks are also somewhat unpredictable. A women can get stretch marks with pregnancy and breast feeding. This can also happen with breast augmentation, although rare. This is dependent on the skin quality and the degree to which the skin is stretched.

Philippines: Catholic bishop warns against Islamic threats on Mindanao
Catholic World News - August 13, 2010
An Islamic separatist group, the Moros Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), has threatened a military offensive in the southern Philippines. A bishop from the region responds: "The threat is uncalled for."
Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo was responding to a statement by MILF leader Ebrahim Murad, who said that the MILF is planning for war, since negotiations with the government have been suspended. The newly installed president of the Philippines, Benigno Aquino III, has promised to resume the talks after the Muslim feast of Ramadan. Bishop Bagaforo emphasized: "It is urgent that both sides sit down and start negotiations."
The MILF is fighting for autonomous rule over the southern Mindanao region. Bishop Bagaforo warned that public threats from the Islamic group could lead Christians in the region to arm themselves, increasing the likelihood of bloodshed.

Maybe our president would like to speak to the MILF about "Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings," in case they forgot.

MONDAY, Nov. 29 (HealthDay News) -- A study involving men and their mothers suggests a new function for the "love hormone" oxytocin in human behavior.
Men who inhaled a synthetic form of oxytocin, a naturally occurring chemical, recalled intensified fond memories of their mothers if, indeed, Mom was all that caring.
But if men initially reported less close relationships with Mom, oxytocin seemed to encourage them to dwell on the negative.
These findings, published online Nov. 29 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, appear to contradict public perception about oxytocin's beneficial effects, the researchers say.
"There's a popular idea that oxytocin has these ubiquitous positive effects on social interactions, but this suggests that it depends on the person to whom it's given and the context in which it's given," said study lead author Jennifer Bartz. "It's not this universal attachment panacea."
Another expert agreed.
"People were thinking that oxytocin was going to generally make things more positive but depending on how someone's attachment really was, it just made the memory of that come back stronger," said Keith A. Young, vice chair for research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in Temple. "The oxytocin seemed to tap into the actual memory rather than making everything better."
Oxytocin, which is produced in abundance when a mother breast-feeds her baby, is known as the "bonding" hormone and may actually have therapeutic applications.
One study found that people with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome were better able to "catch" social cues after inhaling the hormone.
Oxytocin has also been linked to trust, empathy and generosity, but may also spark the less attractive qualities of jealousy and gloati

New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans Unveil Arena Renovation Plans
Posted by Mejdy Jabr on Saturday, February 16, 2013
When the Hornets organization struck up a deal that would keep the team in New Orleans through 2024 in the summer of 2012, part of the negotiations called for $50 million in improvements to the state-owned Arena. NOLA.com reported the following last night:
Ricky Danby: Pest in the Nest?
New Orleans Hornets' long-term future, specifically major renovations to the 14-year-old New Orleans Arena, is ready to begin at the conclusion of the current NBA season. And the result for basketball fans will be a facilities update that will bring the building to the cutting edge of arenas nationwide while increasing amenities and attractions aimed toward making the fans' experience more pleasurable and accommodating.
In artist and architectural renderings released on Friday, the "improved" New Orleans Arena offers new club locations, an internal bandstand/bar area, suite renovations, interior club renovations, as well as the creation of exterior club space, expansion of the existing Capital One Club as well as the popular Hub Club, a new V-VIP area and entrance (Very-Very Important People), as well as a limited access Chairman's Club and a grand, new lobby, giving the building a main entrance it has lacked.
Players will benefit, as well, as the Hornets' locker room, as well as the visitor's quarters, will be expanded and made more plush. The visitor's dressing room will be relocated across the hall from its current location.
The $50 million project will be completed in two phases with bids being sought in the next 60 days and work beginning as soon as the season ends.
Interior building renovations will come in the first phase and are expected to be completed before the start of the 2013-14 season and therefore in time for the 2014 All-Star Game next year, while exterior work is expected to be finished by the start of the 2014-15 season.With all of the changes that New Orleans' basketball franchise finds itself going through, accomodating the fans seems to be the number one priority for the organization's brass. The only fan who is getting screwed in all of this is probably Spin IT's own Ricky Danby, who will have to come up with an even catchier mantra than "Live In the Hive" when he's not watching Eric Gordon at Pelicans games next season.
