Report: 76ers turn down Blazers Iguodala offer
The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly turned down a Portland Trail Blazers offer for forward Andre Iguodala. Posted by Ben Golliver. .
This side of Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, no reasonably big man has found himself in more NBA trade talk than Philadelphia 76ers wing Andre Iguodala. Given his large contract, questionable fit with 2010 No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner, and general malaise in Philadelphia, Iguodala doesn't arrive in these rumors by accident. On Thursday, an ESPN.com chat noted that the 76ers reportedly turned down an offer for Iguodala from the Portland Trail Blazers, which included young forward Nicolas Batum and veteran center Joel Przybilla. The Blazers, as noted by CBSSports.com's Ken Berger, are actively engaged in trade talks in advance of the deadline. This activity is motivated by both a disappointing start to the season and owner Paul Allen's rumored preference for seeing immediate results rather undergoing another full rebuilding cycle.
Batum, a fan favorite French forward, is a long and gifted, and has shown the ability defend multiple positions and knock down the corner three. Under former general manager Kevin Pritchard, Batum was considered untouchable, and big things were expected from him entering this season. Unfortunately, his play has been inconsistent, and coach Nate McMillan moved him to the bench to make room for 2010 summer free agent signing Wesley Matthews. Still on his rookie deal, Batum represents an extraordinary value and still has significant untapped potential, given that he just turned 22 this week. He has shown the ability to play alongside a ball-dominating guard like Brandon Roy, and theoretically would be a solid pairing next to Turner, should Turner develop into the player everyone expects him to be. Przybilla carries an expiring contract, so this move would make sense financially for Philadelphia, allowing them to escape the money owed to Iguodala and improve their flexibility going forward. For Portland, Iguodala would represent an all-around, tested, veteran forward that the team has lacked for years. He would be able to provide some much-needed scoring, as Portland's offense has been anemic this year thanks to the injuries to guard Brandon Roy. What's more, he has played with Blazers point guard Andre Miller in Philadelphia, so there's a familiarity there. The Blazers lack a number one option, and while Iguodala isn't necessarily established on that elite level, he might be as close as Portland can reasonably hope to get. Blazers owner Paul Allen isn't afraid to spend money, but taking on Iguodala's long-term deal is not without risk, as he has yet to prove he can contribute meaningfully to a winner in the NBA and because Portland is already tied up long-term thanks to extensions for Roy and forward LaMarcus Aldridge. That Philadelphia reportedly turned down this deal, even though it represents good value, shouldn't be overly surprising. We're still very early in the trade season, and Portland is only likely to get more desperate, the longer they deal with Roy's absence and their team-wide struggles. Plus, Philadelphia will likely find themselves listening to a number of offers for Iguodala. Berger, for example, sees the New York Knicks potentially having interest.

Mega-Dunks abound
Posted by Matt Moore
You don't need me to intro these. I tried choosing between the two, but really, they're both sick.
Personally, I lean towards Iguodala's. DeRozan is getting a lot of credit for dunking on Tyrus Thomas, but Thomas was moving right to left, not straight forward at DeRozan, making it lacking in true posterization. Iguodala's however, covered more ground and had a higher degree of difficulty.
In closing, YAMS.

The Game Changer: Denver runs away late
Posted by Royce Young
Each game is made up of elements which help formulate the outcome. Monday through Friday, we'll bring you the elements from the night before's games in our own specialized version of the game recaps. It's not everything that happened, but it's an insight into what lead to the results you'll see in the box scores. This is the Game Changer.
THE BIG ONE: DENVER WORKS ORLANDO IN THE FOURTHThere are nights, where the Denver Nuggets look like one of the two or three best teams in the West. Unfortunately for the Magic, this was one of those nights.
The Nuggets can explode on you with offense in bunches, but what won them this game was quality defense down the stretch. Orlando couldn't score and on the flip side, couldn't stop Denver.
With six minutes left, it was a one-point edge for the Nuggets and it looked like we were going to have a tight finish. Instead, Denver closed the game on a 19-3 run and completely bullied the Magic.
Playing without Chauncey Billups, George Karl got creative with his lineups, using a combination Anthony Carter, J.R. Smith, Arron Afflalo, Carmelo Anthony and Nene down the stretch. He mixed a number of small-ball lineups in against the Magic, playing Carmelo at power forward for a lot of the night. Which meant Carmelo had Rashard Lewis on him, which then meant Carmelo abused the Magic's four-man. Melo finished with 35 points and pretty much took over in the second half.
But for the Magic it was really more of the same. Late in the game, each offensive possession was almost hard to watch. The Magic ran three things: 1) Jameer Nelson dribble up and after zero passes, 3-point shot. 2) Dump down to Howard, Nuggets double, Howard forces shot. And 3) 15 passes around the perimeter with no one making any progress at the basket, eventually ending the possession with a contested jumper.
When pushed, Orlando just doesn't know what to do offensively late. The first three quarters was all about the sharp ball movement, quick shots and most importantly, making shots. In the fourth, the Nuggets were the ones doing that.
I imagine Stan Van Gundy is going to yell loudly at his team more about their porous defense down the stretch more than their offense. Both were an issue for them, but it didn't help things playing a loaded offensive team like the Nuggets. Denver got it rolling late and the Magic just didn't have the guns to keep up.
GO-GO-GADGET LINESMonta Ellis went all 48 minutes for the Warriors in their 108-99 win over the Timberwolves. Ellis dropped 34 points on 13-24 shooting, dished out six assists and grabbed four rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony dropped 35 on the Magic, hitting 14-21 from the field while also grabbing 11 rebounds. A gold star for him indeed. Plus, he almost got traded!
J.J. Redick was a bright spot for the Magic, scoring 29 points on 9-12 shooting.
Charlie Villanueva had 23 points, 11 rebounds and a +29 for the Pistons.
Kris Humphries in a loss: 1-10 from the field, two points, 13 rebounds in 21 minutes. I can't decide if that's good or bad.
BYNUM'S BACKAndrew Bynum is back and his return was... normal. About what you might expect from a guy playing in his first game after knee surgery. Seventeen minutes, seven points (1-5 from the field), four rebounds and two blocks for the Laker big man. Nothing special, but certainly reason to be encouraged. Especially because Pau Gasol only played 31 minutes, something Bynum is really going to help get under control.
Bynum didn't have to factor in that much for the Lakers though as they cruised past the John Wall-less Wizards 103-89. And that was with only scoring 11 points the fourth quarter. One semi-crazy stat from the game though: The Wizards pulled in 19 offensive boards and had 16 more attempts than the Lakers. Obviously they didn't take advantage of those extra possessions, but something to note regardless.
THAT'S RANDOMLed by a bench that had plus/minuses of +29, +25, +23 and +20, the Detroit Pistons absolutely walloped the Atlanta Hawks. How in the heck did that happen?
Villanueva led things with 23 points and Tracy McGrady finally did something, throwing up 16 points in 26 minutes. The Piston bench outscored the Hawks second unit 46-14.
After the Hawks outscored Detroit by nine in the third, the game was close heading to the fourth with the Pistons only up three. But the Hawks imploded in the fourth. The Pistons took the quarter 39-19 and punctuated the victory with a buzzer-beating 3 from Villanueva to win by 23.
DeMar DeRozan DEDUNKINGThree things I love about this dunk: 1) The way DeRozan cocks his arm back just a little farther than usual to add a little extra umph to it; 2) Solomon Alabi's completely weird reaction to it as he stands there making face while smacking his gum and 3) the gratuitous shot of Michael Jordan after it.
PARTING THOUGHTThe 76ers beat the Nets 82-77, snapping an eight-game road losing streak. But here's something interesting about the 9-15 Sixers: They have a positive point differential of 0.5. The Rockets are the only other losing team that has a positive point differential.

Rumor: Andre Iguodala to the Cleveland Cavs?
Philadelphia 76ers forward Andre Iguodala has been linked to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a trade rumor. Posted by Ben Golliver.
For the better part of the first five weeks of the season, Philadelphia 76ers forward Andre Iguodala has been linked to trade rumors, and for good reason. Iguodala's situation in Philly is past-cliche at this point: semi-star makes more than $10 million a year, his team still loses, it makes more sense for both parties to part ways rather than continue in expensive mediocrity. While Iguodala has been publicly mum, word started to slip out back in October that he was open to a change of venue. On Sunday, comes word that the Cleveland Cavaliers may be a player in the Iguodala trade market, according to MorningJournal.com.
League sources indicate the Philadelphia 76ers are attempting to trade guard/forward Andre Iguodala.
There is no active dialogue between the Sixers and Cavs right now, but a source said it was one to keep your eye on ... He would fit nicely into the Cavs' $14.5 million trade exception.That trade exception, of course, was created by the departure of LeBron James to the Miami Heat this summer. That departure left the Cavs without a credible shot-creator and point-scorer on the wing, and without much reason for fans to continue to purchase tickets. Iguodala would fix those problems, and his price tag would like be worth it to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who is desperate for relevancy after getting humiliated (and humiliating himself) this past summer. The trade exception would be a nice flexibility play for the Sixers, but the price for Iguodala would likely be much higher. A draft pick and a young prospect, at the very least. One hold up to any Iguodala trade, however, is the uncertain development of Evan Turner. If Turner, the 2010 NBA Draft's No. 2 overall selection, can show he is a legit NBA player by the trade deadline, then moving Iguodala becomes significantly easier. If he's still the nerdtastic and inconsistent player he's shown himself to be so far, parting with Iguodala would set Philadelphia on an even more serious downward spiral.

Elton Brand suspended 1 game for flagrant foul 2
The NBA has announced that Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brandon has been suspended for one game for a flagrant foul. Posted by Ben Golliver. The NBA sent out a memo this afternoon suspending Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brand for one game for a hard foul he put on Washington Wizards center JaVale McGee during a game Tuesday night. During the game, the foul was ruled a Flagrant Foul Two for being "unnecessary and excessive" and resulted in Brand's ejection. Brand will serve the suspension tonight as the 76ers face the Raptors in Toronto. Here's the release.
Elton Brand of the Philadelphia 76er's has been suspended one game without pay for his Flagrant Foul, Penalty Two against JaValle McGee of the Washington Wizards, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.
The incident, in which Brand made contact by shoving McGee during a layup attempt and was ejected following the Flagrant Foul, Penalty Two call, occurred with 3:32 remaining in the 4th period of the 76er's 116-114 overtime loss to the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C.Here's a video of the play, courtesy of YouTuber user thehoopscene. As you can see, McGee is wide open in the paint when he receives a pass from point guard John Wall. He goes to dunk the ball with his right hand, and Brand rotates over late, using both arms to shove McGee in the chest. McGee finishes the dunk and crashes to the floor, and Brand was immediately ejected by official Tony Brothers. While laying on the floor, McGee smiled and briefly waved goodbye to Brand.

Elton Brand may be gone for a bit
Sixers big loses his cool against JaVale freaking McGee, likely faces fine and/or suspension.Posted by Matt Moore
Elton Brand's been having a pretty decent year so far. Sure, the Sixers are a miserable collection of uninspired players with limited talent trying to find their way with a coach who isn't connecting with them. But he's playing allright. Not worth his contract, but pretty well. So it's high time he did something phenomenally stupid, right? That's how this works?
What's on the menu?
Let's see. "Develop addiction to Cheetos." No, that's Baron Davis' thing. Hmm, "Try and use steroids to help comeback." Nope, Rashard already did that. Ah, here we go. "Let JaVale freaking McGee get into your head and mess with you." Honestly. Brilliant.
During a tense back and forth game between the Sixers and Wizards tonight, Brand lost his cool in the midst of McGee's best night of the season (24 points, 18 rebounds) and committed a flagrant two which led to an automatic ejection. Brand faces a likely fine and possible suspension for the two-handed shove on McGee. Check it out.
Hope Elton didn't invite anyone to come see his next game. He may not be there. Whoops.
The Wizards won in overtime .

Game Changer 11.11.10: Wall 3D's Rockets
Michael Beasley Nets a career high, John Wall gets his first career triple-double and finishes a sick alley oop, a giant Sonny Weems head makes an appearance in Toronto, Elton Brandon re-emerges, plus plenty of audio and video from Oklahoma City vs. Philly. Posted by Ben Golliver.
Each game is made up of elements which help formulate the outcome. Monday through Friday, we'll bring you the elements from the night before's games in our own specialized version of the game recaps. It's not everything that happened, but it's an insight into what lead to the results you'll see in the box scores. This is the Game Changer.
THE BIG ONE: JOHN WALL GETS HISTORIC ON THE RocketsWednesday was an historic, high-flying night for Washington Wizards rookie point guard John Wall, and he was all over the court on the way to his first career triple-double in a 98-91 Wizards win over the Houston Rockets in D.C. Wall's top end speed is among the best in the league, and against the Rockets, who are dealing with absences and injuries in their backcourt, he was often a blur, racing out in transition and leaping into passing lanes. It was a hyperactive but still controlled performance for Wall, who finished with just one turnover on the evening and looked more comfortable shooting from range than he has all season. For Houston, it was a tough night all around, as the Rockets lost Yao Ming during the first half due to a leg injury . Yao or no Yao, the Rockets and they had no answer for Wall, who joined some elite NBA company by registering his 19 point, 10 rebound, 13 assist triple-double in just his sixth NBA game. Take a look at the chart to see how he stacks up to some of the league's all-time greats. And we'd be lacking in our Wizards/Rockets coverage if we didn't link up this video of Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas tossing a soft alley oop to Wall, who finished acrobatically with one hand. Too sick.
GO-GO-GADGET LINES OF THE NIGHT:Michael Beasley: 42 points, nine rebounds, two assists, 1 steal on 17-31 shooting in 41 minutes in a road win for Minnesota over the Sacramento Kings. The 42 points were a career-high for Beasley.
Honorable mention to...
John Wall: 19 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, six steals, one block on 8-16 shooting in 42 minutes in a home win for Washington over the Houston Rockets. Deron Williams: 30 points, five rebounds, 14 assists on 8-19 shooting in 42 minutes in a road win for the Utah Jazz at the Orlando Magic.
Kris Humphries: 13 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks on 6-12 shooting in 40 minutes in a road win for the New Jersey Nets at the Cleveland Cavaliers.
By Royce Young
OKLAHOMA CITY -- At one point, I had to look at my watch. I could've sworn it was 2005. There was Elton Brand, slender, fit, healthy and playing excellent basketball. It was like seeing an old dog get up and remember some of the tricks you taught it as a puppy.
Brand had his mid-range jumper working, was aggressive on the glass, posted up and defended the paint. Most people have sort of forgotten what an absolute force Brand was in the past, but with his start to 2010, folks are getting a refresher.
Against Oklahoma City, Brand put up a smooth 17 points and nine rebounds. On the season, he's averaging 18.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. And for a rebuilding team where he's a big focus for opponents.
In the offseason, it's crazy to think Brand was going to be given away for next to nothing. The Sixers wanted to dump his massive contract, get some picks and young players back and go from there. At no point did it seem realistic that Brand could be part of that building. He seems happy being on this young squad.
"I can see us getting better," Brand said after the close loss to the Thunder. "We need to grow and have this translate into victories which it will. That's a sign of us getting better; us closing these games."
This is the first time really since Brand has been in Philly that he's completely healthy and in shape. And when he has those two things working, his basketballing abilities really come out. He's not one of the premier power forwards any longer, but probably 20 other teams would enjoy having his services. (But not his huge contract.)
The question is if Brand can sustain this for a full 82. It's not that he's over-the-hill (he's 31) or that he has a ton of mileage on him. It's that his recent history has held him back and makes one wonder if he's got it in him to keep going. Character has never been an issue for Brand so even if the Sixers stink - which they will - he's going to go hard.
Brand almost looks like he's from another era. It just doesn't seem like he fits on the floor, especially in a game featuring the young Thunder against the pups of the Sixers. But Brand is throwing back to an earlier time, playing like that former self that fits right alongside these up-and-comers. And the old man showed the kids a thing or two Wednesday in Oklahoma City.
Toronto Raptors fans hold up a giant version of guard Sonny Weems' head.
AUDIO/VIDEO GALORE:Here's some video of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, who had a huge night with 31 points, five rebounds, and 12 assists, talking about his team's 109-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
And here's audio of Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins breaking down the game from the losing side.
ONE FINAL THOUGHT:During his career-high scoring night on Wednesday, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley was wearing his NBA head band upside down , violating the league's new mandate. Will he be fined by the league office?

YMMV: Return Of The Lawndale Militia
- Critical Research Failure: Returning with a vengeance, as Peter attempts to describe the three other anime series he crossed the Daria characters over with and makes many laughable errors in the process of "enlightening" the audience.
- Riding Bean was not a prequel to Gunsmith Cats, but the pilot for a different series. They don't even share a continuity (and actually can't - Rally isn't even the same ethnicity in the other series!).
- Nagisa in Koko Wa Greenwood doesn't run the yakuza. She does have a group of henchmen who do her bidding, but only in plans that involve humiliating her brother. This creates a bit of a problem as the plot of the fanfic requires that she be a maniacal murderous villain, when she's just not up to it in the series.
- ...it is very unlikely that a teenager from the late 90s in America would have seen or read Rose of Versailles considering that the manga was never released in English and the anime didn't get licensed until 2012. As fansubs were hard to come by if you weren't in college and had an anime club to hook you up, there's not a chance Daria heard of this to the point where she would immediately connect Shun's being raised female with Oscar's masculine upbringing.
- Contrary to Peter's note pointlessly explaining the end of the Gunsmith Cats OVA, it was Rally who killed Natasha Radinov. Collins got a lucky shot in that broke the axe blade, but Rally guns her down at point blank range. Collins holding it over her head in the story (and Rally agreeing!) is a completely lark.
- As noted in the MS Ting, Peter makes a note that tempura is "stir fried fish in a wok", when it's actually batter dipped seafood or vegetables.
- Out of Character: In addition to the previous story's derailments, this one added some new ones!
- In the actual Koko Wa Greenwood, Shun is feminine in appearance and mannerisms, but only pulls the "bent gender" gag once as part of a hazing on Kazuya. Beyond that, he identifies as a heterosexual male and has no interest in actually being a woman. In the fanfic, Shun is a pre-op transgendered woman who has just gotten breast implants and also voices his love of men and his wish to get the rest of the surgery done so he can be a fully biological woman.
- Ron the Death Eater: Nagisa goes from being a comically inept villain seeking nothing but the humiliation of her brother to murderous international crime lord with no explanation.

Reading Lovecraft is challenge enough, but listening to his work can be fraught with peril - unless William Roberts is at the mike. Readers and listeners either love or hate Lovecraft, most commonly because of his complex language and near overwhelming sentence structure. Roberts takes on this challenge and delivers these short stories beautifully. He seems to have wrangled the leviathan that is Lovecraft's style and bullied it into submission. His delivery is engaging and dramatic. It shows that he has spent time with the text and understands the author's sometimes dizzying style. Best of all, he is able to communicate that understanding to the listener. Roberts's narration provides a perfect introduction for newcomers who are interested in Lovecraft's work but who are intimidated by his reputation. --AudioFile Magazine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.See all Editorial Reviews

Kevin Newcomb | October 16, 2006 | Comments
A study from BlueLithium's BL Labs found behaviorally targeted ads get more clicks when served in the same context, but convert better when served in unrelated contextual categories.
Behaviorally targeted ads can generate a higher click-through rate when shown in a contextually relevant category, but are more likely to lead to a conversion when viewed out of context, according to a report from BL Labs, the research division of behaviorally targeted ad network BlueLithium.
"We set out to prove that behavioral targeting performed better than contextual, and we wanted to see if that was true across the board," Dakota Sullivan, BlueLithium's CMO, told ClickZ. "What we found was it's more complicated than that, and it depends on the goal of the marketer."
BL Labs looked at more than 400 million impressions across numerous sites in its network over time, evaluating click-through rates (CTR) and conversion, or "action-through" rates (ATR), across several behavioral segments and contextual categories. It also analyzed more than 10 million impressions served to users in nine behavioral segments to find patterns across various contextual categories.
As a result, BL Labs analysts found that ads shown in the same context as behavior had a higher CTR in seven of the nine categories. Ads shown in a different context had a higher ATR in five of the categories.
"As a top-line recommendation for advertisers, if your goal is traffic, use behavioral targeting in context. If your goal is conversions, use behavioral targeting out of context," Sullivan said.
For most advertisers doing direct marketing, it makes more sense to serve behaviorally targeted ads in a different context than the behavior, such as serving ads targeting golf enthusiasts on a cooking site, he said. For behaviorally targeted ads shown in a different content category than that of the behavior, overall CTR is 108 percent higher and overall ATR is 19 percent higher than ads shown in the same category. ATR was higher in 5 of the nine segments with more than 10 million impressions.
If an advertiser is primarily concerned with driving traffic, then behaviorally targeted ads in the same category will perform better. CTR for ads shown in the same content category as behavior is 56 percent higher than ads shown in a different category. This was true in 7 of the nine segments.
There were some segments that did not conform to these results, Sullivan said. For instance, the "shoppers" segment showed the highest CTR from ads on career sites and the highest ATR on female-oriented sites. "Travelers" had the highest CTR on food sites and highest ATR on career sites.
"Previous research from others indicated an across-the-board rule of thumb, but we found it varies widely by category," Sullivan said.
A December 2005 report by Tacoda and Next Century Media found that behaviorally targeted ads served out of context got more "looks" from users than contextually targeted ads. Another Tacoda study, this one conducted in May 2004 with advertiser Snapple, found visitors targeted outside of diet & fitness sites scored higher for key brand metrics than those who saw ads within the channel.
'Marketers need to think twice before acting on a knee-jerk reaction to advertise in-context," Dave Zinman, BlueLithium's SVP of products, told ClickZ. "In traditional media, there has never been a way to target behaviorally, so they had to target contextually. They can get more efficiency out of their media buy if they use custom segmentation for each campaign."
This is the first research report to come out of BL Labs that has been made available to non-clients, but the company expects to release more research as well as allow marketers and agencies to use its data to test out new ways of using media and challenge common assumptions, Sullivan said.
Kevin Newcomb joined ClickZ in August 2004, covering search marketing and other online marketing topics. He has been reporting on web-based businesses since 2000.
Before the bubble burst, Kevin was a marketing manager for an online computer reseller, handling copywriting, e-mail marketing, search marketing and running the affiliate program.
With a combination of real-world marketing experience and years of business journalism, Kevin brings to ClickZ a unique ability to deliver news and training materials that help online marketers do their jobs better.

Hurricane Sandy bears down on the mid-Atlantic on Oct. 29th in this NASA satellite image. Responding in the aftermath of natural disasters is FEMA's primary mission.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency mission is to prepare and respond to the nation's disasters, and FEMA officials say the agency's mobility initiative ensures that they can execute that mission better, cheaper and more effectively.
Speaking at the Mobile Work Exchange Spring 2013 Town Hall Meeting on April 30, Tonya Schreiber, deputy chief administrative officer FEMA's Mission Support Bureau, explained how the agency has embraced mobility in recent years, leading to workplace transformation and real-world improvements in disaster preparedness and response.
"We have a mobility mission – FEMA is mobile and we have to be mobile," Schreiber said. "Our stakeholders, federal partners and disaster survivors demand the ability for us to effectively deliver. FEMA goes big, and we go fast. We need to get in there, take charge, and leverage state and local partners, and we've got to be mobile across agencies."
Schreiber said the best place to start the mobility mission and upgrade capabilities was within the agency's employee base.
FEMA employs 5,500 full-time employees, but until recently, only about 5 percent of the staff teleworked on a regular basis. This year represented a marked change for the agency, with 3,300 of its full-time employees pledging between one and three days of telework time during Mobile Work Exchange's Telework Week during the first week of March.
Schreiber said the agency logged 46,000 telework hours during Telework Week, realizing cost savings and testing the remote capabilities of its employee. Schreiber said the estimated transit savings alone translate to about $2 million annually if 20 percent of its staff teleworks regularly.
"If we have more teleworkers, we have more savings," Schreiber said.
FEMA's telework efforts go hand in hand with its plan to modernize infrastructure and consolidate its capital region offices from eight buildings to three, reducing office space by approximately 182,000 square feet by 2016. The big consolidation translates to about $9.1 million in annual leasing costs. The building reduction also cuts on utility costs, Schreiber said, knocking off another $530,000 per year.
FEMA was one of several agencies to garner positive recognition for its mobile efforts at the Mobile Work Exchange Spring 2013 Town Hall Meeting, and many received awards from the Mobile Work Exchange for their efforts. The Government Accountability Office was lauded for implementing a telework program that resulted in $1.2 million in savings and a reduced physical footprint.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services went from minimal teleworking – one telework day per pay period – to allowing almost its entire staff to telework up to three days per week. The agency also offers more flexible time to employees around the holidays, according to one of its officials.
The Interior Department's Office of Inspector General was recognized for its leap forward in telework and mobility. In just three years, the agency went from having an inconsistent telework program to a robust program that 98 percent of its employees are able to put to use. Overall, its workforce increased the number of collective telework hours by 500 percent over that time.
In addition, the Homeland Security Department received kudos for its telework and mobility program's return on investment, the Defense Logistics Agency for its growth in mobile IT and the Merit Systems Protection Board was recognized for enabling a secure workforce. MSPB is the first agency to employ a reimbursement policy for mobile devices and laptops.

The 5-4 decision ends the flood of cases challenging statewide same-sex marriage bans across the country.
Same-sex couples in Michigan may have a harder time adopting children under new laws signed by Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday that allow adoption agencies to deny anyone services based on the organization's "sincerely held" religious beliefs.
The governor's executive action is in response to the failure of the GOP-majority state legislature to pass the so-called Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act, which would codify discrimination of LGBTQ people by those who oppose marriage equality.
At the end of Tuesday's oral arguments it wasn't clear whether Justice Kennedy would side completely with marriage equality advocates.
To a certain kind of religious conservative, this connection makes some—if not perfect—sense.
A judge ordered the Travis County Clerk to issue a marriage license to Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant, an Austin couple who have been together for nearly 31 years and who married outside the county clerk's office Thursday in the presence of friends and family.
The Roberts Court on Monday denied review of a Louisiana ban on same-sex marriage, noting the federal appeals court has yet to rule, as well as two campaign finance related challenges.
Marriage equality gains across the country have created significant divisions within the Republican Party, with right-wing activists threatening to leave the party and actively campaign against some lawmakers over their support for same-sex marriage.
Even with all that's left to accomplish, I'm proud to reside in the land of Lincoln.
A unanimous decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court makes the state the 17th in the country to recognize marriage equality.

Marketing Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Intuit (San Diego, CA) in December 2011.
The first contact was through email via the recruiter followed by a phone call with the recruiter to get a better general overview of the company, and the group and specific open role. The process then continued to a phone screening by a Director in which the general job was discussed along with a review of my background and what I would be looking for in a new opportunity. I was then brought in for a first round of interviews that consisted with 2 in person interviews, 1 video conference and a phone call. Once the round one interviews were finished, I was called back for a round two interview that consisted of one in person interview, 1 video interview and another phone call. I received an offer within a couple weeks after my second round of interviewing. Although a bit draining at times, it was great to be able to talk to so many different people in the organization that I would be working with in the open role.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA) in August 2010.
This is one of the worst experiences I have had. The middle managers are so self-centered that I felt like they wasted my time and energy. I received three other offers from their competitors, and I told them that I was going to drop them and go with other companies. They were disorganized, young, and seemed inexperienced to me. They offer products that compete with each other and are just trying to figure out what to do with that. Their market cap is relatively small compared to other tech companies, selling products that were relatively cheap.

I NEVER thought I would find a product to help my dry overprocessed hair until this. This stuff is the best! I put it on mixed with a little Lanza smoother and let it air dry for a soft curl. It is well worth the price and when my tube is finished I will be hitting ulta for a tub!

i really like potion 9. the smell is awesome and it feels so light. i can use it on my short hair when it's dry to style and add a little volume at the roots. or i can put it in while my hair is wet to act as a treatment. i can't get over the smell i just love this stuff.

Great to throw on before you blow dry or straighten. Seems like it gradually builds up though....I like to alternate it with other, similar products. Love the smell.

I am in love with this product! I hope it keeps working like it has. I have thick, porous, highlighted hair and this makes my hair so healthy looking. Yay!! UPDATE: It seemed to stop working, so I''m taking a break from it. Probably need to use it now and then (rather than all the time) for results.

EDIT*** After a while this product stops working as others have mentioned. It really is a treatment and not a daily use product I suppose. Too bad.****
This stuff makes hair soft, strong, shiny, managable, frizz free and great smelling. I can't live without it. It's amazing for dry, porous, wavy/curly/straight hair. Ahhh...so good!

This is AMAZING. I love it and I can't live without it ever since I started using it. I bought a tiny little tube one day for 9.99$CAN and then I decided to buy a giant ub because I adore it and what it does to my dry, frizzy, wavy/curly porous hair. :)

Amazing, and understated styling product. First, I love orange, and I love the scent. I have a lot of hair, but it's fine and can get somewhat oily overnight.
I put this in my towel-dried hair and that's all that is needed; barely even need hairspray. No crunchy mess. The packaging- metal tube- ok but hard to get remaining product out when it gets low. Well worth it, however.

I had this for a while and the packaging cracked :(
I didn't notice anything at first, but after a while I did notice the condition of my hair improving.
The reason I won't be buying this product again is because it didn't provide enough hold on its own, and I had a hard time mixing it with other products because the combo left my hair feeling weighed down.
If you're just after a good conditioning though, this is a good product.

Great treatment for weakened hair! My dry and damaged hair looks and feels so much better after using this. Potion 9 gives hair texture and won`t weigh it down. Will definitely repurchase!

I tried watching some footage of the CT. killings and I have to stay completely away from it and most other news right now,something is very wrong with the whole cinematic approach to these world events and there are other forces involved with the world events at this point. I hate MSM,but I get overwhelmed with emotions that I usually can easily control. I'm not saying these events didn't transpire,but they are being tainted to cause anger, fear, and bewilderment! Something is way off!
EVERYTHING is politicized. It's bent, twisted and spun to manipulate. It's just really sad to realized how easy folks are manipulated. It's so normal to want to understand. To try to make sense of something such as this....so we don't feel that we've lost in vain. We look in all the wrong places for understanding/blame: to guns, to movies, video games, religion in school, or politicians. We fail to recognize we carry what we need within us. No matter what faith you practice....one must accept that we must embrace both the good and the evil, the light and the dark. One does not exist without the other. We cannot have all the blessing without having the hardship. The victims in this are countless and I flat refuse to watch, read or be a part of anything that does not honor those young lives or those valiant teachers. I choose to celebrate their lives...their spirit less they become forgotten.

Osteoporosis Health Center
Symptoms of a Spinal Compression Fracture
In this article
It is important to identify the symptoms of spinal compression fractures and notify your doctor right away. Sudden, severe back pain, especially in older women, may signal a spinal compression fracture or another serious condition.
Anyone with significant back pain -- especially a woman who is near or over age 50 -- should see a doctor. Most compression fractures in women over 50 are due to osteoporosis and treatment can help reduce the chance of further compression fractures.
Recommended Related to Osteoporosis
The hottest topic in medicine isn't the newest drug or the latest surgical device. It's vitamin D. What brought the simmering debate to a boil was a 2007 study showing that people taking normal vitamin Dsupplements were 7% less likely to die than those who didn't take the daily supplements. A year later, a major study found that when women with low vitamin D levels get breast cancer, they have a much higher chance of dying from their cancer than women with normal vitamin D levels. That was surprising...
Read the The Truth About Vitamin D article > >
One or more symptoms can indicate a spinal fracture:
- Sudden, severe back pain (though many times the symptoms can come on gradually and worsen over time)
- Worsening of pain when standing or walking
- Some pain relief when lying down
- Difficulty and pain when bending or twisting
- Loss of height
- Deformity of the spine - the curved, "hunchback" shape
The pain typically occurs with a slight back strain during an everyday activity, like:
- Lifting a bag of groceries
- Bending to the floor to pick something up
- Slipping on a rug or making a misstep
- Lifting a suitcase out of the trunk of a car
- Lifting the corner of a mattress when changing bed linens
Different Signs of Spinal Compression Fracture Pain
The pain experience of a spinal compression fracture can vary. For many people, the pain will subside while the bone is healing. That can take up to two or three months. Other people will continue feeling pain, even if the fracture has healed.
Not everyone feels a clear-cut spinal pain when a fracture occurs.
In some cases, there is virtually no pain involved with spinal compression fractures. The fractures may occur so gradually that the pain is relatively mild or unnoticeable. For some people, the pain may evolve into a chronic back ache in the injured area. For others, the gradual curving of the spine is the first indication that multiple fractures have occurred.
Signs of Multiple Spinal Compression Fractures
When multiple spinal compression fractures have occurred, there is considerable change in the spine. This can affect the internal organs and body functions:
- Height loss: With each fracture of a spinal bone, the spine loses some of its height. Eventually, after several collapsed vertebrae, the person's shorter stature will be noticeable.
- Kyphosis (curved back): These fractures often create wedge-shaped vertebral bones, which makes the spine bend forward. Eventually, neck and back pain may develop as your body tries to adapt.
- Stomach complaints: A shorter spine can compress the stomach, causing a bulging stomach and digestive problems like constipation, less appetite, and weight loss.
- Hip pain: The shorter spine brings the rib cage closer to the hip bones. If rib and hip bones are rubbing against each other, there will be discomfort and pain.
- Breathing problems: If the spine becomes severely compressed, lungs may not function properly and breathing can be seriously affected.
The symptoms of spinal compression fractures are obviously different for every person.

Here's a virtual movie of John McCrae reading his famous WW1 poem "In Flanders Fields" One of the most famous poems written during World War I and has been called " the most popular poem" produced during that period.The sound recording of this great poem which was made probably about 1942 for release on a 78rpm record set is probably the earliest recorded recital.
The poem is written in the form of a French rondeau a form of French poetry with 15 lines written on two rhymes.
Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote it on May 3, 1915 (see 1915 in poetry), after he witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, only 22 years old, the day before. The poem was first published on December 8 of that year in the London-based magazine Punch.
Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae (November 30, 1872 January 28, 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I and a surgeon during the battle of Ypres. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem In Flanders Fields.
McCrae was born in McCrae House in Guelph, Ontario, the grandson of Scottish immigrants. He attended the Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute and became a member of the Guelph militia regiment. The background of his family is military.
Though various legends have developed as to the inspiration for the poem, the most commonly held is that McCrae wrote 'In Flander's Fields' May 3rd 1915, the day after presiding over the funeral and burial of his friend, Lieutenant Alex Helmer who had been killed during the Second Battle of Ypres. The poem was written in as he sat upon the back of a medical field ambulance in the proximity of an advance dressing post at Essex Farm, just north of Ypres. The poppy, which was a central feature of the poem, grew in great numbers in the spoiled earth of the battlefields and cemeteries of Flanders. McCrae had later discarded the poem, but it was saved by a fellow officer and sent into Punch magazine, and published later that year.
McCrae died of pneumonia. He was buried with full honours [6] in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission section of Wimereux Cemetery, just a couple of kilometres up the coast from Boulogne. McCrae's horse, "Bonfire", led the procession, his master's riding boots reversed in the stirrups. McCrae's gravestone is placed flat, as are all the others, because of the sandy soil.
A collection of his poetry, In Flanders Fields and Other Poems [7] (1918), was published after his death.
Kind Regards

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

About Dr. Tuan Tran
Dr. Tuan Tran is a strong advocate for diagnosing and treating binocular vision disorders. He ventured out to advise a team of developers in creating a software to treat amblyopia, the most common cause of visual impairment in children. The gold standard of treating this disorder involves prescribing glasses and sending the patient home with a patch to strengthen the "lazy eye". Patients often become non-compliant from discomfort and a negative social stigma.
Dr. Tran along with two cofounders started Vivid Vision. They developed software that utilizes a new approach to treat amblyopia by immersing the patient into a virtual reality environment. The software uses Oculus Rift headgear instead of a gamepad. The patient has the option of using their hand to play by taking advantage of the Leap Motion device. The patient is able to play games that are aimed to increase their binocularity.
I'm surpris ed by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.
