As much as I like Froch I just can't pick against Ward. Dude is too skilled, too crafty, too good at everything. I don't see anything Froch brings to the table that Ward won't be able to handle. Ward by UD.

This fight so important for boxing,it's simply unbelievable.Froch has transformed himself into an excellent fighter.Ward came into the tourney an underdog only to emerge as the favorite.These are 2 of the top 3 fighters in 1 of boxings deepest division,fighting each other.I like both men,but my money is on Ward.
Froch will keep the fight interesting al the way through.But I see Ward doing what Dirrel wouldn't & that's outboxing him,but not completely running away from engaging.Easily 1,if not the most important fight this year & Ican't wait for it!!

Ward is a classy guy and a excellent boxer.
I don't think Froch can beat him, he's just so well rounded.

I've got a feeling Froch could get stopped if he gets sloppy. Im cheering for Froch but I really can't see him beating Ward.
Froch looked sloppy against Taylor and Dirrell and I think Ward will not let Froch play to his strengths and just out box him and put on a master class.
If Ward is stupid and gets into a toe-2-toe fight with Froch then he isn't as smart as I thought he was. Froch will love Ward to fight him like he fought Kessler as he will be easy to hit...if Ward watches the Dirrell and Taylor fights and moves like they did, with his age and undefeated record I think he could outclass Froch quite badly on the night...I hope not though, I hope Froch somehow stops him, that would make my day!

You shouldn't look at Froch's fights with Dirrell and Taylor for this. froch is a tad more cautious. He's learned he needs to be at world level or he'll get outboxed and possibly stopped. Ward is a rough fighter, but Ward's best chances are to box. Froch throw's in bunches when in close and if they land, they'll add up. I think it'll be a close win for Ward, but Froch has a real genuine chance.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for National School Climate Center, New York, NY, USA
I am an education consultant in an international organization. While choosing an institute to provide us with technical support on implementing the project of social emotional learning (SEL), I have found that NSCC offers a comprehensive and in-depth theoretical framework and a systematic plan for carrying out SEL in primary and secondary schools. More specifically, the theory NSCC presents is of great help for us to promote quality education under the condition of exam-oriented teaching. NSCC also stands out in improving school management and long-term development.

Has anyone here had any experience with the Life Alert system? I have a 94 year old father who is hell bent on living out the rest of his days in his own home. He is a perfect candidate for Assisted Living but won't hear of it. He's got plenty of money but squeezes every penny(even worse since the mini-stroke in September). I am ready to give him an ultimatum: he gets some form of Life Alert or he's off to assisted living. My sister works and I have a home, husband and a cat. We can't be with him 24/7. He's wobbly, afraid to go out in the yard, with the exception of getting the mail and newspaper. His drivers license was suspended as of two weeks ago. A few years ago, we found him literally stuck between the toilet and the wall. He can't even remember how he got there. Things are getting worse.
Yes, Mom had it for nearly 4 years before she ended up having to live in Assisted Living. Your Dad must be willing to push that button though. That is what he has to agree to. If he falls, gets lost in the house somehow.......... not funny ... it happens, he MUST agree to push the button on his necklace or bracelet & he MUST wear it! Plus the on Mom had would only work within a certain radius of her home.... not at a store, not at the neighbors house. Do you think he would understand & agree to this ? ........... Mom did use hers a few times. But when she had her aneurysm she had the thing hid! When my sister & I got there & realized how very bad Mom was I had to hunt for the alert necklace! Thank goodness there was an emergency EMT living on the next street to rush to the scene! ........Cost set up & monthly cost are involved. Mom's was $35 a month & I do not remember the set up cost, Mom does not have much money so I paid monthly for as long as I could then my brother & I took turns paying for the monthly cost. You may consider paying it so to be sure that it stays active. The Alert system is connected to phone service so that too MUST be left turned on. (Our Mom had trouble understanding this as she used to get mad at the operators being automated & turn her phone off! Brother!!! ). Mom's system also had direct connection to EMT, & ambulance service. ...................... In the end if you think Dad would understand & use it , it definately IS literally a life saver!
I hope this helps, if I can help further please let me know. ... I will be gone this weekend but I will check back when we get back home. Best Wishes with this, it is a tricky situation at best.

Yes, my 86-yr old mother has had one for several years now. My only additional comment is that the battery in the pendant or bracelet can and does wear out and must be replaced. They recommend you test the system once a month to avoid this. My mom fell and was on the floor for over an hour before she could crawl to the phone. Seems she had let the battery go bad so it did not work, aack.
The system sends me an e-mail when she activates it, even if it is a test or she inadvertently hit the button.
We also got the outside lockbox to put the house keys in so that EMTs or police can get into the house if it is locked. The system will tell them what the code is when they call them....beats breaking down the door!
It's worth the expense and we've been very happy with it.
there is no choice any more. Get the doctor involved. He will tell your dad that he needs to go to a place that will help him.
My mother inlaw and my own mother we're told thay can't live at home anymore. my mother had the same feelings. But she did accept it. My mother inlaw did accept it. When a doctor become involved it becomes official. Your dad does have a few problems can't get up anymore when he falls. Can't drive a vehicale anymore. Just keep those license suspended. The best thing you can do is take him for a visit there to see how nice they really are.
Hope things work out for you.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
Thanks to you all for your help and suggestions. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about this before sitting down with my sister and making a plan. Luckily, she is on his checking account and can write checks, so we don't have to worry with our money getting involved. Daddy is just so stubborn. He's worse than a child. I'm the one who actually reported him to DMV. No one in the family but my husband and one brother know this. Daddy thinks, DVM is doing this because of his age. He doesn't take responsibility for the accidents he has had in the last couple of years. He says they were "unavoidable"....Yeah, for the guy in the other lane that he plowed into BjP, my husband had heard about the Lock box, thank you for recommending that. Kitty, sounds like your Mom and my Dad have the same patience level when it comes to automation. Daddy won't even leave a message on an answering machine. Skae, Daddy has been visiting his friends in these places for decades. That's why he doesn't want to go. No matter how nice they are, he equates them with nursing homes. Also, he's been in this same house for about 70 years. My husband has Power of Attorney for his Dad(97) and his older sister(75). He said we should get POA for Daddy. Daddy freaks out at the mention of someone else having authority over "his" money. We are walking on egg shells.
It's hard to do, but at some point there's a terrible choice to be made:
1.You become the parent of your parents and see to their care 24/7.
2. You hire caregivers to come in. It's worth noting that the amount of care needed can be difficult for non-professionals to judge, but there is a newish specialty in town, called the Care Manager. These are independent businesspeople, often retired nurses, with whom you can discuss the situation (sometimes the first consult is free). They can then come out and take a look at things with an eye towards both the practical and the medical, and come up with a plan: How much care and what kind of care does the parent need? For a fee, they will manage the caregiving situation and adjust it as needed, taking the burden off the adult children. Often, it starts with just one aide in the house for a specified period if the old person is physically competent, for example, and care can be scaled up from there. The service is expensive, but so is life. You may have heard of unscrupulous professional care managers. They must exist, but in dealing with two sets of parents in their lengthy declining years, I would note that I did not meet even one unscrupulous manager.
3. This is the harshest one. As I was told by an elder-care specialist, you let your elderly folk make their own choices--and take the consequences.
In the case of my inlaws, really lovely people who fiercely guarded their privacy and wanted to stay at home even though they fell almost weekly after age 85, the consequences were that social services did get involved after the fire department was called (via Life Alert) a certain number of times in a specified period. The administrator who came out and evaluated them--with all the adult children present--gave them a choice: Either be carted off to a care facility determined by social services or hire 24-hour caregivers. Reluctantly, they chose the latter, even though it meant a loss of privacy. Ultimately, it did give them a much better quality of life, and though pricey (a second mortgage on their house was required for the last few months of life), it turned out to be the best thing for the entire family.
-- Edited on 5/28/11 6:55 PM --
My dad falls into the same category....will NOT move from his house and he lives out in the country. He does wear a watch band type alert system (not sure if it is Life Alert, but similar) since he fell and could not get up. My brother also calls him at 9am and 8pm every day. We kept it to one person to avoid confusion. It is a difficult thing between allowing them to live their life as they want and knowing when to step in. They are a strong generation.
Look into veterans' services. My dad is a veteran, so they provide in home help twice a week. Light housekeeping, nurse checkup, etc. He loves that, and you can get some experienced feedback from them.
Good luck -- Edited on 5/28/11 7:01 PM --
Elona...we were posting at same time. #3 is very important and I am not so sure it is harsh; it is accepting their choices. It took us a while to get there. My brothers and I struggled with this and have come to the agreement that dad has the right to live his life as he wants. (now if dementia or alzheimers is involved, that is different) That means, the consequences are results of his decisions, no guilt on our part...it is how he wanted it. He still mows the lawn including going to the edge of a hill but as he said....do we want him to sit in a chair until he dies?
ETA: by the way, he is so much happier, and we have a better relationship since we stopped trying to tell him what to do (his words) -- Edited on 5/28/11 7:04 PM --
Daddy won't let us bring a stranger into the house to help him. He only feels comfortable with my sister or me. When he had his mini stroke in Sept. he was in the hospital for a few day. I took the opportunity to go over to the house and toss out rotting food, bits and pieces of papers and garbage. I filled 2 large trashbags just from the bathroom! He never throws anything out(example: 5 cans of air freshener all rusting). I spent 2 hours on cleaning the bathroom. I vacuumed, cleaned up the kitchen and scrubbed the floor. Also took his bed linens home and washed all of it. I can pretty much bet, that he hasn't washed those sheets since then. When he got home from the hospital, he when into a panic because I had boxed up some things he had piled up all over the place. It was stuff he hasn't used in years(old VCR tapes of Touched by an Angel) He accused me of throwing out all his stuff. I told him everything was neatly boxed and if he wanted something, he just had to ask and I would help him go through the boxes. To this day, he will still bring up the fact that I "threw away his things". His mind isn't right and he won't replace anything, because he said "it will last me as long as I need it". He's been saying this for the last 10 years or so...well, the old guy is outliving his "things". The house is literally falling apart and the furniture is doing the same. If I could just get my sister to back me up and we could show a united front, he might listen to us. Our family has known for years that he shouldn't be driving, but no one did anything about getting him off the road, not even Division of Motor Vehicles. They just kept renewing his license. When I found out that when he was to go in this August for his 95 year old renewal, all they would do is take his picture and hand him a new license, that's when I had to do something. It would kill him to know that I had something to do with it. He's still trying to figure out how to get a "temporary" license so he can drive to church and to the grocery store. My sister takes him to church and I take him grocery shopping. I feel so helpless
My mom has had the Life Alert or similar system for about a year due to low vision. Her retina specialist set her up with an OT with training in working with low vision clients. The therapist did a home evaluation and recommended the alert necklace, along with many other helpful changes for the home environment. Her evaluation saved us from demanding that Mom make changes.
Mom keeps her alert necklace on all the time in her house and in her yard. She has a hook to hang it on when she goes on an errand (it will alert if you exceed a certain number of yards).
My FIL had one in the last year of his life, mostly because my MIL is almost deaf and couldn't hear him call out for help. He could be a mean old guy sometimes and regularly cursed out the monitors who tried to communicate with him when he accidentally activated it. We got several middle of the night calls, but were able to determine that the activation was accidental.
Oh, and we were able to buy the low vision aids with the proceeds from selling her car-- the proverbial 10 y.o. model in pristine Church Lady condition. And we didn't have to worry that she might try to sneak in a drive down the block for something.

Summit County sheriff's deputies arrested three men after a Green business was robbed.
Two 19-year-old Green men were arrested after a robbery at Thomas' Drive-Thru.
A third man was arrested after police found him with illegal drugs at one of the suspect's home.
Kenneth Simmons and David Murren III were arrested Monday on aggravated robbery charges stemming from the March 29 robbery of the drive-thru business on South Arlington Road, said Inspector William Holland of the Summit County Sheriff's Department.
Two men in dark clothing and ski masks entered the business at 10 p.m. that night, approached two employees and demanded cash and cellphones, Holland said. The robbers fled with an undisclosed amount of money and the cellphones.
Deputies submitted evidence from the scene to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation laboratory in Richfield for DNA processing, Holland said.
"The DNA retrieved from the scene matched the DNA of an individual in the DNA database," Holland said. He did not identify which suspect matched.
When deputies search Murren's home, however, they found additional evidence, Holland said.
They also found an 18-year-old Springfield man, who had hash oil, drug paraphernalia and an undisclosed amount of money, he said. The man was arrested on misdemeanor drug possession charges.

Everyone was great quick and efficient.
Wonderful personality.
Extremely knowledgable and caring doctor. Took the time to explain all my options to me very clearly, even those options that would be performed out of his office. I would highly recommend Dr Gauta!
He is very caring and excellent surgeon.
Made me feel comfortable.
Excellent, great service!
I found entire staff polite and knowledgable always had me at ease for a difficult issue .
The very best!
I found him on Angie's list and was amazed by all the wonderful comments he had received. When I met him, he exceeded my expectations which were very high. He is compassionate and very knowledgeable. He also has a staff that is equally good.
Everyone treats you like family. It could not be any better care anywhere!!
The staff and the Doctor were very professional and friendly.
Dr. Gauta has made me feel so much better through having the necessary female surgery. I am doing pretty good and following all instructions. I appreciate the time Dr. Gauta took to explain what type of surgery I was going to have and what was going to happen with my body,as far as healing etc.. The staff is nice, but it took a little time to know what each person does and who you should leave a message for when there is a question that needs to be answered. At first my telephone calls took a few days to answer, but now my telephone calls are answered by the end of the day. Over all the staff is very nice and tries very hard to get the answers I need and appointments quickly made as i need them.
Very happy with Dr Gauta!!!
Always a pleasant experience no matter what I am here for! Staff has consistently been professional and considerate. Would, have and will continue to highly recommend to my woman family and friends.
Thorough explanation, so far so good. //DEE
I felt very comfortable throughout any procedures performed in this office. I feel Dr. Gauta completed a thorough evaluation and is concerned to get to the final analysis of my medical needs.
Excellent doctor-patient relationship. LU
After going to several doctors, Dr. Gauta was the only doctor who found what my problem was and fixed it. I finally have my life back with no more pain. This doctor is amazing. He takes his time with you and listens to your concerns. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Gauta for all your help!
Very informative and easy to talk to. Timely appt.
Great demeanor! Made me very comfortable. Provided concise, easy to understand information. Bret Y.
Proffesional and compasionate, I highly recommend Dr. Guata and his team! SM
Dr. Gauta found and removed an abdominal cyst that 6 different NYC doctors could not diagnose. I no longer need to compress my abdomen with my hand for the pain when I walk.
Excellent. Robbie R.
Very professional and makes you feel comfortable.
Great manner with old ladies with problems. Excellent experience. Now a patient for life.
Very helpfull, explained everything with all options and made me so comfortable in making decision . I am glad we found him .
Wonderful doctor and staff
A caring and professional office
Liked his openness and explanation of options. Payton D.
Awesome!!! Kassandra
Dr Gauta and all of his staff are always pleasant, they never make you feel rushed, and treat you with respect and caring. MLN, Naples, FL
Dr. Gauta was very thorough and gave me an explanation of my problem and the various options available to me so I could make an informed decision about treatment. I would highly reccomend him. SMD, Naples, FL
Dr. Gauta is very helpful, understanding and professional. - TG, Naples, FL
Very comfortable with the whole office. Everyone at Dr. Gauta's knows what they are doing. Great place. Jordyn M., Naples, FL
Dr. Gauta is very friendly and helped to relieve my embarassment. -- Barbara Mack, Naples, FL
I had a terrible onset of pelvic pain and was able to see Dr. Gauta that same afternoon. He spent so much time with me commenting on potential problems and putting me at ease. Relocating to Naples Florida, I was worried about finding a new Uro-gynocologist and I am So glad I found him!
I am highly recommending Dr Guata to all my friends. -- Stacy H., Immokalee, FL
When I asked any of my doctors who to go to, they all said Dr Gauta. I think he is the doctor that the other doctors go to. I am very pleased with my care. Very thorough. Lee A., Naples, FL
I love Dr. Gauta! I never wrote about anyone on the internet before but I have to tell about my experience with Dr. Gauta. I suffered from pelvic pain for years. I was patient with my other doctor for years, but she couldn't cure my pain. One of my friends told me about Dr. Gauta and how he is doing the latest, advanced treatments. He really took the time to listen to me and is so great to deal with. I had a minor, outpatient surgery last year with Dr. Gauta and I feel like a new person. Go to Dr. Gauta, and don't waste your time any where else.
I came to Dr. Gauta after going to two other doctors for my incontinence problem. I was ready to give up. Dr. Gauta was so knowledgeable and cured a problem I thought I was just going to have to live with.
Dr Gauta made me feel so comfortable. I felt like he really understood my problem. I am now feeling better than I have in years. i would highly recommend him.
I ended up in emergency surgery and Dr. Gauta and his staff did an awesome job getting things all coordinated and ease of all the situaqtions.
I have had a problem with my bladder for years and I thought it was something I was just going to have to live with. Dr. Gauta was so understanding and with his treatment my life has so much improved.
Dr. Gauta is an excellent Dr. He has been my OB-CYN for over 6 years and I hope to keep him until he retires.

No I agree, we have definitely sped up the process to a very unnatural state. There has been many times in the earths long history where the planet has been mostly covered in ice, and periods where it has had no ice on its continents at all. The point I'm making is having no ice on the planets polar caps isn't unnatural, how quickly it's happening is.

Kerry, I finally understand, or at least I think I understand these heads.
Can you tell me the angle these heads allow, as in can you tilt the camera say 15° or is it closer to 30°? I'm trying to get a handle on whether this type of head would generally be suitable for a view camera?
This arrangement appears to be quite compact for travelling with, which is one aspect that is a major concern for myself.

So someone who writes for the paper could write a long rambling piece about how he or his photos could get selected in a photo-club, sort of. Not an average person with a (digital) camera and a smartphone or tablet or computer. In between he rambled on even after the cows came home.
Whatever 'technology has enabled', so to say - then every amateur writer/blogger who ventured into the competition would get published in that paper. The Dependent or whatever it was.
But they didn't. Others might've a blog post about it. At best; On their own blog. They've not featured. This man has. Why? Everyone has at least 3 word-processor enabled devices with them now - on a good non-alcohol non-drug induced day, everyone should've been able to write AND get published.
Re digital or film, anyone could've bought top-notch film gear and still gone off to produce images. I dont get this nonsense about digital getting you better images without any intervention - the 'better' part is in the immediacy!
In good daylight - as the author says - who's to say a full frame P&S film camera wouldn't be better than the digital aps-c P&S?
And to say technique or technological know-how is not required now, is rubbish! Most cameras now have a textbook instead of a manual - hell, a flash I bought used has a 150pg user manual.
Hows it 'easier'? Where's the lack of need for technical knowledge?
At a certain point of time, I used to get really irritated by people posting pictures of traffic in motion - long exposures with basically tail-lights trailing - mostly because of it was the kind of 'at x place open shutter for y seconds n be done'.
When I attempted it myself, I realised that while I was right in that the images being bad - it wasn't anywhere close to easy to get a dramatic one, myself (not to my satisfaction anyways) - the tail-light trails of course were easy -just stand at a fly-over/ pedestrian overpass.
(I still get irritated by such photos, but I don't subscribe to those groups anymore B-))

conditions of crisis," writes the author. "It has often been charged with being a bookish fantasia about history, full of rather bloodless schoolmasterish jokes. But to have seen it in Germany soon after the war, in the shattered churches and beerhalls that were serving as theaters, with audiences whose price of admission meant the loss of a meal . . . it was an experience that was not so cool. I am very proud that this year ( 1957) it has received a first and overwhelming reception in Warsaw. The play is deeply indebted to James Joyce Finnegans Wake." Personally, its bookish quality is one of the things I like about the play, and its jokes are often good; in fact, as entertainment The Skin of Our Teeth is excellent, full of charm and ingenuity; its only defect is that whenever it tries to be serious, which is quite often, it is pretentious and embarrassing. I quite believe the author's statement about its reception in postwar Germany--he enjoys a much greater reputation abroad than here--and I agree that the audiences responded to it because it seemed to speak to them of the historical cataclysm they had just been through. I find this fact, while not unexpected, depressing. The bow to Finnegans Wake is a graceful retrieve of a foul ball batted up in the Saturday Review fifteen years earlier by Messrs. Campbell and Robinson, the authors of A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake. They hinted at plagiarism, but I think one should rather admire the author's ability to transmute into Midcult such an impenetrably avant-garde work. There seems to be no limit to this kind of alchemy in reverse, given a certain amount of brass.

Emma Lazarus, who wrote these lines inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor . . . Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free"), was the first Jew whom Ralph Waldo Emerson ever met. Emerson's daughter Ellen, an old Sunday-school teacher, noted how astonishing it was "to get at a real unconverted Jew (who had no objections to calling herself one, and talked freely about 'our Church' and 'we Jews'), and to hear how Old Testament sounds to her, and find she has been brought up to keep the Law, and the Feast of the Passover, and the day of Atonement. The interior view was more interesting than I could have imagined. She says her family are outlawed now, they no longer keep the Law, but Christian institutions don't interest her either."
Emma Lazarus had been sending Emerson her poems for years; he responded with uncertain praise, for they were excessively literary and understandably raised questions in the mind of so subtle a critic. But although she was not to become a consciously "Jewish" poet until the Russian pogroms aroused her, her being a Jew had certainly distinguished her in the literary world of Victorian America. She was that still exotic figure, that object of Christian curiosity, "the Jew"--and to descendants of the New England Puritans, straight out of their Bible.____________________

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly, posing with Kings star Dustin Brown and the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl in May, will speak against gambling legislation in Canada. / Matt Kartozian, US Presswire
OTTAWA (AP) - The NHL is fighting proposed legislation that would make it legal in Canada to bet on the outcome of a game. The bill would repeal the criminal code section that prohibits wagering on a single sporting event.
If passed into law, each province would decide whether to allow single-game betting. Currently, provinces only allow betting on multiple outcomes on a single ticket. If the bill passes a third and final reading in the senate it will become law.
The NHL is urging the senate not to pass the bill, saying the game's integrity is essential to its popularity. The league warned that the bill would have game-changing ramifications. A top Major League Baseball official and the head of the Toronto Blue Jays have both appeared before the senate committee to voice their opposition
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly was scheduled to appear before a senate committee on Thursday, but remained in New York because of ongoing labor negotiations with the players' association.

Kipp speaks with Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, vice president of Sales and Retail at Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons about the watch industry, and how it's been affected by the crisis.
August 22, 2009 6:55 by Dana El Baltaji
Kipp: Has the luxury watch market been affected by the global financial crisis?
Seddiqi: Everyone's been affected, including everyone in the watch industry. The boom we saw last year will never come back. It was an exceptional year, and everyone made a lot of money,
but it's over, and now everyone needs to take a step back and concentrate on other things, like services.
Kipp: Are customers being more careful about their purchases?
Seddiqi: Yes, previously a client would walk into a store, see a watch he likes and buy it in all the colors available. It was a bit over-exaggerated. People were making and spending a lot of money.
Today people are still buying watches, but they're being more careful. They're looking at watches as investments, as something that they'll keep for a long time, rather than just seasonal products. They've been opting for more classical choices, which stay in fashion longer.
We've also noticed that collectors have remained active; they haven't slowed down their purchases because of the financial crisis. If a collector wants a watch, he will get it. But what has changed is that collectors no longer look to the secondary market and pay premiums to get these pieces because the watches are more easily available in the primary market today than they were in 2008.
Kipp: Your list of brands is a mile long. Has any one of your brands seen an increase in sales since the crisis hit the region?
Seddiqi: We have three categories of brands: fashion; mid-range and high-end complications. We noted an increase in sales in the fashion category, where the price of a watch is relatively low.
My explanation for it is that a middle income individual buying a Guess watch is still getting the same salary he was been getting in 2008; and a student is still a student, he relies on his parents for pocket money, and can therefore still afford a Guess watch.
However, a wealthy businessman's salary, which depends mostly on the performance of his company, has dropped considerably recently. Today, he'd think twice before spending AED100,000 on a watch.
This is what I derived from the crisis.

Mr. Seddiqi echoes a lot of truth about today's market realities.
In most brand product pyramids the upper sections have seen drastic or significant slow down since the recession bit, causing average unit sale prices to plummet and impact company values and margins. The ramifications are immense and quite obvious. Whether Japanese or Swiss, watch brands are having to deal with the reality that the recession has set them back and their plans by a good 1-2 years.
Investments in new product lines, Ad campaign budgets and HR outlays are a complicated decision today.

Chiefs end home drought - Harris' double-double powers victory over Mustangs
The Lake View High School boys basketball team did something Monday night the Chiefs hadn't done in three years — they won a home game.
Lake View's 68-44 win over the Sweetwater Mustangs was the Chiefs' first home win since the 2003-04 season. The last home win for the Chiefs was Feb. 13, 2004, when Lake View took down Big Spring 63-48.
The Chiefs (3-12) won this game convincingly, leading the entire game and with four players in double figures. Donnell Harris had a double-double for the Chiefs with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Darius Flowers led the team with 17 points.
The win snapped a six-game losing streak for the Chiefs.
"It's a real big relief," Harris said. "We came out focused and ready to play. I could really tell early that we were up to tempo because we started off real good."
The Chiefs did start out well, outscoring the winless Mustangs 21-12 in the first quarter. Lake View led by as much as 16 early in the game, though the Mustangs did cut into that in the second quarter.
The Chiefs' 29 first-half points equaled their total from each of the past two home games.
Lake View, which has been victimized by playing the press at times this season, executed the press almost perfectly against the Mustangs. The Chiefs forced numerous turnovers at mid-court and were able to turn those turnovers into easy baskets.
"We just shot more and picked better shots tonight," Flowers said. "The press helped us a lot tonight, because we were able for force turnovers and take advantage of them with those easy buckets."
Chanston Humphrey and Michael Moses were also in double figures for the Chiefs, who outscored the Mustangs (0-7) in every quarter.
The Mustangs threatened only a few times in the game, most notably the second quarter when they started chipping away at the Chiefs' lead. Tanner Kelley had three points and three rebounds early in the quarter as the Mustangs pulled to within eight.
The Chiefs responded in the second half, outscoring the Mustangs 39-25 and putting the game away early in the fourth quarter.
"Coach told us at half time to play smart and to keep pressing," Harris said. "I think we did an excellent job of that coming out of the locker room. We tried to keep the tempo up and the momentum on our side."
Lake View also was able to take advantage of free-throw opportunities in the second half. The Chiefs were 12-12 from the line in the second half and 20-of-21 in the game
The win was especially sweet for the players as they head into the holiday break. The Chiefs don't play again until they open the Lamesa O.W. Follis Tourament on Dec. 28.
"We have found some things that work for us," said Chiefs coach Clay Riddle, who earned his first home win as head coach. "We are executing better. That's the key for us — finding things that we can be successful with."
Lake View 68, Sweetwater 44
SWEETWATER — Duane Cummints 2 0-0 5, Thomas Holsey 2 2-2 6, Steven Fields 2 0-0 6, Rufus McCoy 1 1-3 3, Anthony Castro 1 0-0 2, John Flores 2 2-2 6, Tanner Kelley 3 1-2 7, Andy Martinez 3 3-4 9. Totals — 16 9-13 44.
LAKE VIEW — Darius Flowers 6 4-4 17, Chanston Humphrey 6 0-0 12, Jonathan Keele 0 3-3 3, Jacob Pearce 1 1-1 3, James Lawlor 2 0-0 5, Michael Moses 3 5-5 11, Donnell Harris 3 7-8 13, Paul Mesta 2 0-0 4. Totals — 23 20-21 68.

Game Production Club Welcomes Philip Holt of Row Sham Bow
Today we're pleased to welcome to campus Philip Holt, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Orlando game developer Row Sham Bow. The company was founded in 2011, and has had hits with titles like Woodland Heroes, which won Gamastura's award for 2011 Social Game of the Year.
Philip is a 20-year veteran of the gaming industry, with additional credits on Madden NFL and Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and will be speaking to students at 5:00 p.m. in the Game Studies Conference Room. Checking in with us before his talk, he explained his enthusiasm for visiting with up and coming game developers.
"Our industry depends on a steady supply of smart, passionate, and well educated graduates, so I'm always happy to share my perspective with local schools, colleges, and universities," he says. "I can easily talk about building a career, the changing landscape of the game industry, and what that means for the changing skill sets in demand today."
This is the latest event hosted by our Game Production Club, a campus organization created as a way for game studies students to network and meet with professionals. Recent Game Design Master's graduate Jeremy Fountaine, the founder and outgoing president of the club, personally selected Philip for this month's lecture.
"He has a lot of experience at the big studios, but then he's also now working at his own start-up," Jeremy says. "I really wanted someone who could talk about start-ups and getting on your feet, and he's a perfect fit. I know a lot of students who want to get out of school and build their own companies."

Showdown in Shreveport
Matt Stepp
WACO -- It's very rare that a Texas High School Playoff Game is played in another state, but that's what we'll have on our hands next Saturday night as 11-5A rivals the Mesquite Horn Jaguars (9-4) and the Longview Lobos (9-4) will hook up in Shreveport in the Class 5A Division II State Quarter-Finals.
In the team's regular season meeting Longview won a hard fought 13-8 game, but Horn was without QB Collin Strahan who has been a big part of the Jaguars offensive explosion in the playoffs.
Strahan led the Jags to a 43-27 win on Saturday afternoon at Floyd Casey Stadium over Leander (7-6), but he had plenty of help namely from Kansas commit WR JaCorey Shepherd who in the span of two minutes turned a 21-17 deficit into a 31-21 lead for Horn. Despite dominating play for the first two quarters Horn held a precarious 17-14 halftime lead.
The Jags allowed a Leander score to start the second half and trailed. However, Shepherd hauled in a 32 yard touchdown pass from Strahan to give the Jags a 24-21 edge. After forcing a Leander three and out, Shepherd struck again with a sensational 87 yard punt return for a score to all but put the game away for the Jags.
In the nightcap, Longview used a suffocating defense to smother Tomball (10-3) 24-0.
The Lobos who lost RB J'Haston Faggins in the second quarter didn't miss a beat pounding the Cougars into submission in the second half. QB LaDarrin Robertson ran for two touchdowns to pace the Longview offense which was very workman like against a tough Tomball defense.

Hi James:
I'm always up for a good virtual lab so when I saw your link, I immediately subcribed. Unfortunately, the link only deals with a single series of VL's - The Soup to Nuts series.
I did a quick look at http://www.microsoft.com/events/vlabs/default.mspx but couldn't find a feed for all the VL's. When I truncated your link from http://rss.microsoftvirtuallabs.com/souptonuts/rss.aspx">http://rss.microsoftvirtuallabs.com/souptonuts/rss.aspx to http://rss.microsoftvirtuallabs.com I came upon a gold mine of feeds for VL's broken out topically. That is a truely great start but even on that page the is not one RSS feed to rule them (VL's) all.

I'd like to start this review off with the fact that we were married at The Gran Melia. Overall, we had an amazing experience. Maybe it was because we were on cloud nine, it being our wedding and all, but I really don't have anything to complain about. One of the scariest things when planning our wedding was coming home from Puerto Rico (after visiting tons of venues and deciding on the Gran Melia) to read negative review after negative review on here. I was ready to change the venue just based on these reviews, but the hotel was exactly what we wanted in terms of the style and decor of our wedding that we decided to stick with it. I was so concerned that I would check reviews like once a month to see if there was anything positive for a change!
We decided to stay at the Melia the summer before our wedding when we were meeting with vendors. I went into our stay on the lookout for all of the "cons" I'd read on here. I was looking for moldy rooms, smelly phones, rude staff, a long check in and check out process, you name it, I was ready to attack. Instead, we ended up having a great experience. Everyone was so warm and nice, our room that first trip was very basic (the cheapest room), but it was great. We literally had nothing to complain about. Bottom line is this hotel is a resort. Just like any resort, you have resort like food, resort like prices, and resort fees. We ate at the restaurants and yes, they're pricey - you are at a resort, but they were good!! The resort is beautiful and the grounds are gorgeous. We have some of the most beautiful wedding pictures thanks to the setting.
My family is from Puerto Rico and I have stayed at a number of hotels in Puerto Rico (El Conquistador, El San Juan Hotel, La Concha, The Water Club, and Wyndham Rio Mar) this hotel is just on par, if not better than some of the others I have listed. I honestly don't understand why people complain about the distance from San Juan, etc. Do you not look at a map when you travel? Puerto Rico is a big island with lots to see, but a lot of these sites are spaced out throughout the island. If you want to go to PR and don't want to rent a car, then stay in Isla Verde, Condado or Old San Juan. Hotels in any other area are not for you.
My biggest concern with having our wedding at the Melia was that our guests enjoyed their stay! We had a big destination wedding of 140 people. I knew that with that amount of people there was no way that everyone was going to be pleased. Something was bound to happen to someone and I wouldn't be able to control it. Overall, everyone had great experiences! A few of our guests arrived the day before us and by the time we got there they were already in heaven. Half of them were on first name basis with the staff and super friendly with their butlers (for those who had Red Level service). I couldn't have been happier. We chose a Red Level ocean front room for our wedding weekend (as did some of our guests) and it was the best decision we made! The beds were AMAZING!!! I'm not sure about the rooms that had sheets half on the bed and half off, but in the ocean front rooms, it was not like that. I've never slept in such a comfortable bed! It is true that the resort does not replenish the towels every day, but there is a sign in the bathroom stating that they don't in order to conserve energy, water, etc. Whenever, we wanted more towels or items, they brought them to us. Whenever we asked for something, it was granted! I personally didn't see our "butler" that often, but we were so busy running around and spent most of our time hanging out with family and friends at the pool that we didn't really need him. Other guests however were "buddy buddy" with the staff and had nothing but positive things to say. I know that a few people had issues with check in and check out, but overall we got positive feedback about the hotel. I'm sure most people would choose not to burden the bride with negative comments, but having stayed there myself on different occasions, I can trust that when people say they loved it, they truly did!
The beach is rocky, and is not really a swimming beach but the main attraction at this hotel is the pool. It is so wonderful! The in pool loungers are perfect!! However, the beach makes for gorgeous pictures and the sunset is just beautiful! Our guests weren't even eating their dinner the night of our wedding because they were all too busy taking pictures of the sunset! It was breathtaking! We heard over and over that our wedding was the best wedding they'd been to and that the hotel was gorgeous.
I've learned that some people will complain about anything just to complain. So bottom line, this hotel is beautiful, but I would not pay full price for it. Try to get a deal, and try to get a deal with Red Level, because we loooved the Ocean Front room and the hot tub on the balcony. If you are going to stay here, rent a car so you can get around and aren't forced to eat all of your meals at the hotel since the food is pricey and definitely try to get a deal with Red Level, it made our experience that much better!!

Harvard University Press, 1978 - Law - 371 pages
What is law? What is it for? How should judges decide novel cases when the statutes and earlier decisions provide no clear answer? Do judges make up new law in such cases, or is there some higher law in which they discover the correct answer? Must everyone always obey the law? If not, when is a citizen morally free to disobey?
A renowned philosopher enters the debate surrounding these questions. Clearly and forcefully, Ronald Dworkin argues against the "ruling" theory in Anglo-American law—legal positivism and economic utilitarianism—and asserts that individuals have legal rights beyond those explicitly laid down and that they have political and moral rights against the state that are prior to the welfare of the majority.
Mr. Dworkin criticizes in detail the legal positivists' theory of legal rights, particularly H.L.A. Hart's well-known version of it. He then develops a new theory of adjudication, and applies it to the central and politically important issue of cases in which the Supreme Court interprets and applies the Constitution. Through an analysis of John Rawls's theory of justice, he argues that fundamental among political rights is the right of each individual to the equal respect and concern of those who govern him. He offers a theory of compliance with the law designed not simply to answer theoretical questions about civil disobedience, but to function as a guide for citizens and officials. Finally, Professor Dworkin considers the right to liberty, often thought to rival and even pre-empt the fundamental right to equality. He argues that distinct individual liberties do exist, but that they derive, not from some abstract right to liberty as such, but from the right to equal concern and respect itself. He thus denies that liberty and equality are conflicting ideals.
Ronald Dworkin's theory of law and the moral conception of individual rights that underlies it have already made him one of the most influential philosophers working in this area. This is the first publication of these ideas in book form.

Koh Samui Dining
It's not surprising that such a magnificent destination is decorated with quality restaurants. But what is surprising is that you can experience many different cuisines in different settings. If you're after a lavish affair, Zazen Restaurant in Bophut is a treat. Traditional Thai food presented in a fine dining atmosphere and prepared by a French chef is definitely something to be savoured if you're in town. Otherwise, Red Snapper is a more laid-back option on Chaweng Beach, with Mediterranean-influenced meals.
Lamai Beach
The second busiest resort beach of Koh Samui is Lamai Beach, a beach lover's paradise. Numerous resorts call Lamai Beach home and the beach itself is a relaxing and tranquil stretch of sand. While you're lying on the sand, why not enjoy some grilled sweet corn and Thai papaya salad from the numerous beachside vendors. Plenty of temples and natural attractions are waiting to be explored if you can manage to leave the beach!
Nu Muang Waterfalls
An inland wonderland, the Nu Muang Waterfalls are two separate waterfalls reached by walking uphill through the park. Both are easily accessible by vehicle, but the second waterfall is only reached by walking 30 minutes up a steep hill. The surrounding forest and walking trails are popular with tourists who describe this region as one of Koh Samui's best kept secrets.
The Big Buddha
One of Samui's most famous landmarks, the Big Buddha statue was built in 1972 and is at the north of the island. The 12 metre tall, gold structure is visible kilometres away and attracts many sightseers.

The following is less a long-form essay and more a series of semi-connected thoughts concerning the Benedict Option and American Protestantism. I've broken them down with headers in hopes of making it easier for readers to pick out which parts are of greatest concern to them.
So far much of the conversation about the Benedict Option has been amongst American Catholics and Orthodox. Part of this, no doubt, is because the very name "Benedict Option" is drawing on traditions of monasticism that are far more at home in Rome and Constantinople than in the various Protestant traditions.
That said, the problems that the BenOp is trying to address will concern all small-o orthodox Christians and so Protestants must have a way of thinking about this and talking about that is plausible for Protestant believers. (Indeed, it's worth noting that many of the businesses currently tied up in legal battles appear to be run by Protestants.)
