RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander has returned from international duty with slight problem ahead of Norwich's game against Arsenal.
Elmander is a slight doubt heading into this weekend's game. But having only started three league games up until now, he seems to be Chris Hughton's third choice striker and purely as an option from the bench. Elmander has only managed 77 minutes of game time for the Canaries in the last month.

August 21, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander has officially joined Norwich City on loan until the end of the season.
Elmander had seen his playing time with Galatasaray reduced last season and wanted to return to the Premier League after spending three seasons with Bolton. He joins Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Gary Hooper as newly acquired strikers for the Canaries. For now, Elmander's fantasy stock will remain low.
August 21, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Galatasaray said that Elmander is nearing an agreement to join Norwich, reports Sky Sports.
Since the player isn't guaranteed first-team action he is looking for other opportunities. Elmander left Bolton to join the Turkish side in 2011, and scored 16 goals last season.
August 19, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Norwich have opened talks about a transfer of Elmander to the Premier League, according to the Daily Mail.
The forward scored five goals in 25 games for Galatasaray last season, with one year remaining on his contract.
May 23, 2011
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander has agreed in principle on a deal to play for Turkish outfit Galatasaray, starting next season, Goal.com reports.
Elmander played a versatile role for Bolton this season as a forward and winger, and was able to score 10 Premier League goals this season, two more than his previous two seasons combined. The club's record signing will be missed, but if Bolton is able to sign Chelsea loanee to a permanent deal, they may not miss him as much as they would otherwise.
November 20, 2010
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander's brace in Bolton's 5-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday has him atop the Premiership scoring leaders.
He is tied at eight with Newcastle's Andy Carroll, who scored for the Magpies in this game. The real story is Elmander however, who along with Kevin Davies, Tamir Cohen and Stu Holden has made the Wanderers a scary, scary threat to the rest of the league.
November 13, 2010
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander scored his sixth goal of the year for Bolton in Saturday's 3-2 win over Wolves.
A breakout season if there ever was one, Elmander is on fire for a Bolton side that is starting to look like legitimate contenders for the top seven.
October 24, 2010
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Elmander notched his fifth goal of the season for Bolton in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wigan.
Elmander has been absolutely brilliant for Bolton this season, and his goals tend to be things of beauty.

Strong Start for Second Year of Florida's TrophyCatch
From Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission:
The first year of TrophyCatch has ended, and the awards were all given out, but now the challenge is on for year two. TrophyCatch rewards anglers for catching, documenting and releasing largemouth bass heavier than 8 pounds in Florida.
The second year is off to a great start, with 63 Lunker entries (8-9.9 pounds) and 26 Trophy Club (10-12.9 pounds) recorded in less than four months, and more than twice as many entries in December 2013 compared with December 2012. The first Hall of Fame entry (greater than 13 pounds) is awaiting verification.
Besides checking out the gallery, you should also review the rules and prizes. Then be sure to follow us on Facebook to see all the latest entries and get updates on special events.
The peak season is still in front of us, and FWC biologists have worked to narrow down a list of top sites to recommend to bass anglers for 2014 based on data from anglers, scientific sampling and an understanding of habitat trends and local conditions. By participating in TrophyCatch, you can help these biologists to further improve management and conservation of trophy bass.
By releasing them alive (a mandatory condition of TrophyCatch) you will help sustain the fishery for the future and be rewarded. Rewards start, for Lunker Club entries (8-9.9 pounds) with $100 in gift cards, from partners like Bass Pro Shops, Rapala and/or Dick's Sporting Goods, and are complemented by custom apparel by Bass King Clothing, a personalized certificate and window decal.
Below is a list of top bass fishing sites. For more details, go here, and click on "Fishing Sites/Forecasts" to find more details, lots of specific local fishing tips, local contacts, specific rules, access points, attractors, ramps and quarterly updates.
West Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho; 18,810 acres) is adjacent to Kissimmee. Lake Toho is known for producing excellent crappie and bream fishing as well as trophy largemouth bass. Angler surveys from August to November 2013 indicated bass anglers experienced an exceptional catch success rate of 0.96 fish per hour, which was the sixth consecutive year angler success was excellent.
Lake Kissimmee (34,976 acres) is the largest of five big lakes in the Kissimmee Chain. As a result of aggressive habitat management by the FWC, anglers enjoy a diverse and expansive plant community. Angler surveys in spring 2013 showed an angler catch success rate of 0.56 fish oer hour (double the statewide average), with an estimated 177 bass 24 inches or greater caught and released during the survey.
Lake George (46,000 acres) is the second largest lake in the state, and is located northwest of Deland and east of Ocala. Lake George, a natural lake in the St. Johns River, has extensive aquatic vegetation, primarily eelgrass, that provides excellent habitat for bass.
Lake Monroe (9,400 acres) is a shallow lake north of Sanford near Orlando. For the past several years, electrofishing surveys by biologists have documented some of the highest numbers of lunker bass for the St. Johns River chain.
Rodman Reservoir (9,500 acres) near Gainesville and south of Palatka, was impounded in 1968. It has been known for trophy largemouth bass ever since. Much of the fishery's success is attributed to abundant habitat in the form of stumps and submersed vegetation, and periodic drawdowns occurring every three years. Although drawdowns on Rodman are primarily to control invasive aquatic vegetation, biologists have observed strong largemouth bass spawns associated with reservoir drawdowns. Following the large spawns, bass provide the majority of the angler catch.
Lake Tarpon (2,500acres) is near Tampa/St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. Biologists using a boat electrofisher in spring 2013 caught bass at a rate of 2.7 bass/ per minute, a rate considerably higher than typical. Most bass were 12 to 16 inches long; however, quality and trophy fish are present in good numbers.
Istokpoga (28,000 acres) is between the Kissimmee Chain of lakes and Lake Okeechobee in Highlands County near Sebring. Past angler surveys have estimated more than 1,000 bass over 8 pounds being caught in less than a year's time. Further, an impressive 46 bass caught from Lake Istokpoga were entered into the TrophyCatch program during the past year – the most entries from a public resource during that time period. Another 15 bass from Lake Istokpoga were entered into the BigCatch program (an FWC angler recognition program that only requires a photo and statement that the bass exceeded 24 inches or eight pounds, making documentation easier, resulting in a certificate but no significant rewards).
Tenoroc Fish Management Area (8,400 acres) near Lakeland provides a special opportunity to bass fish in Florida's famous phosphate pits. These 7- to 227-acre lakes were created by draglines during phosphate mining operations. As a result, lake bottoms have irregular contours with depths to 35 feet. Tenoroc is northeast of Lakeland and can be accessed from Highway 33 just south of Intestate 4. Call the Tenoroc Headquarters at 863-499-2422 for more information or to make reservations. The area is open to public fishing Friday through Monday. Anglers must check in and out at the office, deposit their valid fishing license and pay $3 for a daily fishing permit.
Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, especially the southern portion,may well be Central Florida's best-kept bass fishing secret. Polk County is home to 554 named lakes, the state's certified record Florida Largemouth Bass (17.27 pounds), and sells more freshwater fishing licenses than any other county. The chain comprises 14 lakes, from 25 to 1,160 acres, and more than 4,000 acres of fishable waters.
Mosaic Fish Management Area (1,000 acres), near Fort Meade in Polk and Hardee counties, is definitely worthwhile. Anglers had an average catch rate of over one bass per hour last year. There are 12 phosphate pits, from 10 to 200 acres, with depths down to 30 feet. The FMA is open to public fishing from Friday through Monday. No reservations can be made, so lake permits are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Call 863-648-3200 for more information.
Lake Weohyakapka (Lake Walk-in-Water; 7,500 acres) is south of Orlando and east of Lake Wales. FWC biologists sampled and released 27 bass weighing more than 8 pounds during the past year.
Lake Okeechobee (470,000 acres) is Florida's largest lake and the second largest body of freshwater in the contiguous United States. A 100-yard-wide rim canal circles the lake, and secondary canals and cuts link to it, resulting in hundreds of miles of fishing water. October 2013 electrofishing samples yielded excellent catch rates for the lake, with abundant bass over 18 inches. The past four years have yielded the highest success rates, each over 1.25 bass per hour, in the 36-year history of the lake's creel survey.
Everglades Water Conservation Areas 2 and 3 (1,125 square miles) are marshlands intersected by more than 200 miles of canals. Originally designed for flood control and water supply, the area provides some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the country.
First Season Winners
Bob Williams of Alloway, N.J., earned the TrophyCatch Championship Ring for the first season. It was presented at Bass Pro Shops in Orlando last month by Keith Alan, from the American Outdoors Fund, and Tom Champeau, director of the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management. His winning catch was a 13-pound, 14-ounce largemouth from Rodman Reservoir. He previously earned a free ($500 value) fiberglass replica of his catch and other awards totaling approximately $1,000.
A $10,000 check was handed to Peter Perez at a special ceremony at West Lake Tohopekaliga by Experience Kissimmee representatives Debby Guertin and Terry Segraves, along with Champeau. Perez caught the largest TrophyCatch verified bass from Osceola County to win the prize. His winning 12-pound, 3-ounce bass was caught last March in a neighborhood pond on a Rat-L-Trap.
The winner of the 2013 Phoenix 619 bass boat, powered by Mercury, was surprised angler Frank Ay. His prize was presented to him following a club tournament on Lake Okeechobee by professional bass angler Bobby Lane, Champeau and KP Clements, the TrophyCatch coordinator. Ay won the $40,000 grand prize via a random drawing from among 4,000 anglers that registered for TrophyCatch the first season.
To Enter
For the second year, which began Oct. 1, documenting a TrophyCatch has gotten simpler. Start by registering for free here, and you will be automatically entered to win a Phoenix bass boat, powered by Mercury and equipped with a PowerPole.
This year the only required photo is one of the entire bass (head to tail) on a scale, with the weight visible. Always attempt to get that shot, but if it isn't perfect, supplement it with a close up of the scale, a photo of the entire fish on a bumpboard or tape measure, and maybe even a shot of the bass's girth. This will help a verification team of fisheries biologists determine if the fish is eligible for recognition.
You can also submit a bragging photo and perhaps a release photo on the website. Every verified entry gives you 10 more chances for the Phoenix boat drawing in October.

Top Papal Candidate Blames Child Sex Abuse Scandal on Gays
We learned last week that Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson, widely considered to be a top candidate to replace outgoing Pope Benedict XVI as the spiritual leader of the billion-member Roman Catholic Church, harbors some incredibly frightening beliefs about LGBT people. When asked about the draconian anti-gay laws in Africa, including Uganda's notorious "Kill the Gays" bill, Turkson didn't condemn them or denounce them. Instead, he said that murderous hostility towards gays and lesbians was a tradition that should be respected and understood in the name of cultural fairness.
And it gets even worse. In an interview with CNN that very same day, correspondent Christiane Amanpour asked Turkson whether the clergy child sex abuse crisis and cover-ups, which have rocked the Catholic Church in Europe and North America, might spread to Africa. The cardinal responded that it is unlikely to have occurred on a similar scale on his side of the Mediterranean because African societies and cultures are better protected from "this tendency." Surely by "this tendency," Turkson was referring to the psychiatric disorder of pedophilia, right?
As far as Cardinal Turkson is concerned, the violation of children by priests isn't caused by pedophilia, but by homosexuality:
"…African traditional systems kind of protect or have protected its population against this tendency a little bit. Because in several communities, in several cultures in Africa homosexuality or for that matter any affair between two sexes of the same kind are not countenanced in our society, so that cultural, if you want, the taboo that traditionally has been there, has served to keep this out."
You're reading that correctly: Cardinal Turkson not only thinks homosexuality is linked with pedophilia (a vicious anti-gay myth that's been denounced by literally every mainstream organization of mental health professionals) and blames the Catholic Church's repugnant sex abuse problem on gays in the priesthood, but he believes that the "traditional" homophobia present in many African societies – you know, the very same murderous bigotry he wants everyone to understand and respect – serves a positive social purpose by protecting African children from sexual assault.
Turkson's galactically outdated views on homosexuality are both breathtakingly ignorant and astonishingly dangerous. Priestly sexual abuse is the biggest challenge currently facing the worldwide Catholic Church, and Turkson's remarks make it abundantly clear that if he were to become pope, his response would be to blame the scandal – and Catholicism's shredded moral credibility – not on child-raping priests, but on gay people. And all this as LGBTs across the African continent face the very real threat of imprisonment and execution.
Do you think a Pope Turkson would hear their cries, or would he stand silently by as they're persecuted, beaten, jailed, and put to death?
I hope we never have to find out.

West v. Cochran
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
West v. Cochran, 58 U.S. 17 How. 403 403 (1854)
West v. Cochran
58 U.S. (17 How.) 403
The Act of Congress passed on the 3d of March, 1807, 2 Stat. 442, appointing commissioners to adjudicate land claims against the United States, required that where titles to tracts of land which had not been previously surveyed were confirmed by the board, they should be surveyed under the directions of the Surveyor General. When a certificate and plat should be filed in the proper office, a patent certificate was to issue which should entitle the claimant to a patent from the United States.
Therefore, where conflicting locations were claimed of two concessions granted by the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Louisiana, and no survey satisfactory to the public officers was made until 1852, when a patent was issued in conformity with a survey directed by the Secretary of the Interior, this patent was conclusive, in a court of law, of the location to which the party was entitled.
He could not, in an action of ejectment, sustain a claim that his patent ought to have had a different location upon the ground that the confirmation by the commissioners conferred a perfect title to different land from that covered by the patent.
This was an action of ejectment brought by West, a citizen of the State of Illinois, against Cochran, a citizen of Missouri, for all that tract or parcel of land situated in the City and County of St. Louis in said district, and which tract or parcel of land is described as follows:
"Lot number one hundred and three, 103, in block number three hundred and twenty-one, as the said lot is laid down and numbered on the map of the said city, and is bounded on the east by Second-street, beginning at the southwest
corner of Chambers and Second Street, thence along the west side of Second Street eighty feet, more or less, from Chambers Street; thence westwardly on a line parallel with Chambers Street, one hundred and fifty feet to an alley; thence northwardly eighty feet to Chambers Street; thence eastwardly along the south side of Chambers Street one hundred and fifty feet, to the place of beginning."
West claimed under the reservation made by Brazeau in his deed to Labeaume, and under the confirmation of Brazeau's title by the board of commissioners on the 22d of September, 1810.
Cochran claimed under a similar confirmation of the same date to Labeaume. The patent for Brazeau's claim did not include the land in dispute, whilst the patent for Labeaume's claim did include it, and the question was whether West, claiming under Brazeau's title, could show that the patent had been erroneously located, and could claim under the confirmation.
The circuit court decided against West, and he brought the case up to this Court by a writ of error. The case is particularly stated in the opinion of the Court.

How Did James Cameron Create 'Avatar'? Director Is Forced to Tell All!
James Cameron's 'Avatar' shattered box-office records during its time in theaters and currently sits at the $2.7 billion mark in total worldwide grosses. It's only natural with a film of this magnitude to wonder how the whole idea came about, and now we have an in-depth account of how the man of 'Titanic,' 'Aliens' and 'The Terminator' fame created this modern flick. Too bad he was kind of forced to do it!

Using public restrooms can be daunting especially if you're not in an area that you're familiar with. If you've traveled to New York City, you probably know that finding a clean bathroom in public places can be a challenge to say the least. Well that's about to change -- for some people. According to a video report by Buzz60, you will soon be able to pay for cleanliness and privacy.
Apparently there is a company in New York that has a pretty neat idea. They are going to provide a space that has private bathrooms (with toilets and showers), lockers, and a private lounge. If you want to be a part of the exclusive, luxury bathroom club, you can.
There are pricing plans and the cheapest is just $6 a day. $8 will get you a bathroom and a locker. Who would pay to go pee? Well, it depends on how bad you have to go -- and how gross the bathrooms around you are. But are you really going to travel to this designated place just to go potty?

Stanford sophomore goalie Gabby Stone was named the MPSF/KAP 7 Player of the Week Monday after her career day in the third-ranked Cardinal's 9-5 victory over top-ranked USC Sunday at Avery Aquatic Center.
Stone made a career-high 13 saves and anchored a stellar Cardinal defensive effort in the win. Stanford held USC, which entered the game as the MPSF's top offense with 15.9 goals per game, to a season-low five goals. Stone and the Cardinal back line held USC scoreless over a stretch of 7:33 over both ends of halftime, during which the offense reeled off six straight goals to turn a 3-2 deficit into a commanding 8-3 lead.
Last Monday, Stone also made five saves and allowed just one goal in the first half of Stanford's 12-6 win at No. 20 San Diego State. On the year, she is third in the MPSF with a 6.34 goals-against average.
The honor is first of Stone's career, and the fourth for the Cardinal this season. Kiley Neushul earned the honor on Feb. 3, Annika Dries brought it home Feb. 17 and Maggie Steffens was recognized on March 3.Stanford (16-1, 2-0 MPSF) hosts MPSF foe Arizona State this Saturday, April 5 at 1 p.m. at Avery Aquatic Center.

I'm attempting to look for grub:
[root /]# find / -iname "*grub*"
Now I'm attempting to look for lilo:
[root /]# find / -iname "*lilo*"
I thought perhaps it was somehow being hidden with SELinux so I tried to turn that off (temporarily):
[root@ /]# setenforce 0
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
Hmm, look like it was already off. What about turning that on?
[root@ /]# setenforce 1
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
Ok, now I have no clue why I can't find any bootloader files. I re-run the
find commands and get the same thing.
Next I had read the bootloader section in the Linux Administration Handbook and it didn't mention not being able to find bootloader configuration files.
This is an box on Amazon EC2:
CentOS release 5.4 final selinux
Is this normal to not have these files? I also don't seem to have any
/etc/sysconfig/selinux or
/etc/selinux/config files.... Hmmm....
Update - Why am I asking?
This article (among others) mentions using boot flags to enable or disable selinux in the grub.conf file. Without a boot loader how do you specify boot flags?

When you interview for a job, you are interviewing for every job the company has or may ever have, said Louise Fletcher in a post today on the Career Hub blog.
"If you are interviewing for lower-level positions, never assume it's just for that position, especially if senior people are involved," Fletcher writes.
"It is an opportunity to show your value and see if it leads to other discussions. Also companies might be hiring at lower levels but with the knowledge that they will need to promote or add at higher levels, it might be a test, it might be caution on their behalf, you will never know unless you go and have a conversation. At worst you make a good contact for the future."

Luxury & Fashion Biz News: June 17th, 2011 (Of Louboutin, Social Unrest and Fake Street Cred)
1.) Christian Louboutin Sues Over Red-Soled Copycats — YSL Hits Back:
"Last month, Christian Louboutin hit Yves Saint Laurent with a $1 million-plus trademark-infringement lawsuit for the use of red soled shoes in the Spring 2011 YSL collection. Now, Saint Laurent has filed court papers, alleging that Louboutin fraudulently claimed 'exclusive' use of red soles in his trademark application and is illegally trying to monopolize a style that he didn't invent."
And YSL has a point — it's unlikely that Louboutin was the very first shoemaker to ever put a red sole on a pump, but that's just YSL arguing the technical letter of the law without acknowledging what's really going on, which is that Louboutin so popularized the use of the red sole on his shoes that he pretty much owns the style anymore, because any shoe with a red sole is simply assumed to be a Christian Louboutin, for good or bad.
All of Louboutin's competitors know this, and most have refrained from using the red sole on their own shoes out of respect for the designer's creative success (it's not easy building up a global shoe business, much less singlehandedly). Versace tried the same thing back in 2008 and was promptly slapped with a lawsuit, with the LA Times commenting that: "The shoes I have seen so far are beautiful, but that red under sole is a direct rip-off of Christian Louboutin . . . With all these designers speaking out on counterfeits and copycats, it seems déclassé for Versace to nab a competitor's signature."
But times are tougher for fashion labels now than they were in the heyday of easy credit bolstering the bottom-line of department stores and boutiques, and competing designer labels are more willing to make bold grabs for a smaller slice of the pie. Sensing a weakness in Louboutin's trademark argument — that while he may be the most famous designer to have painted a sole red, he's not the first — even Brazilian shoe label Carmen Steffens has been painting their soles red, and getting a face full of lawsuit for the trouble.
But they're holding firm: "Gabriel Spaniol, the brand's international development director, said: 'We are ready to provide unassailable evidence that we have been using colored soles, especially red, before Mr. Christian Louboutin popularized his.'"
UPDATE 08/12/11: This blog-post originally published with the claim that the Louboutin company was owned by the Gucci Group, which also owns the YSL brand. I've been attempting to locate the article/site where I read this information, yet cannot seem to find it anywhere (if, indeed, it existed at all). So my apologies — it looks like I may have hallucinated that bit of info.
*NOTE: In a country like China, it'll be the well-known color of the sole, not the name of the brand, that will drive sales. And the Louboutin label is likely too small, and without the benefit of heritage, to properly exploit such a valuable stylistic flourish. Advantage YSL?
But speaking of China: Zero Hedge, a no-holds barred site that cuts neatly and cleanly through all the BS chatter about the state of the global economy, posted a recent article titled, Why The Wheels Are Falling Off China's Boom: "Much of the 'growth' and profits have come from ruthless exploitation and predation. The civil unrest that is igniting all over China is partly a result of continual, grinding oppression and predation by the local Elites. Thugs push around poor vendors–is this your idea of 'rule of law'? How about pushing peasants off their land for luxury condo developments? This sort of exploitation by local authorities and their cronies draws a ho-hum response from the Western media; corruption and predation has been normalized–unless you're the one being pushed off your land and given a pittance in compensation."
The full article is worth reading if you're at all buying into the idea that China's economy will be the unequivocal savior of troubled luxury brands.
Another warning sign on the road ahead for China: China's 'Wealth Drain': New Signs That Rich Chinese Are Set on Emigrating — "Nearly 60% of people interviewed claim they are either considering emigration through investment overseas, or have already completed the process, according to the 2011 Private Wealth Report on China published by China Merchants Bank and a business consulting firm Bain & Company. The richer you are, the study suggests, the likelier it is that you resort to emigration. And among those who possess more than 100 million yuan, 27 % have already emigrated while 47% are considering leaving."
Reasons for emigrating from China to other countries include lack of food safety, poor water and air quality, and a growing "hate the rich" mentality that some wealthy Chinese are afraid could turn into a repeat of the brutal redistributionist policies of Mao Tse-tung.
So they're fleeing preemptively . . . and taking their money with them this time.
And that fear of social discontent turning into mob violence isn't entirely exaggerated: China Social Unrest Getting Out of Control — "China's security services have managed for now to curb social unrest in the southern manufacturing city of Zengcheng after migrant workers set fire to government buildings over the weekend . . . 'I think that any amount of cracking down is going to be a little bit like in Syria,' Enzio Von Pfeil, CEO of the Economic Time Bond Fund told CNBC on Thursday. 'You've put out the flame in one section of the kitchen but then another flame erupts in another section of the kitchen.'"
*NOTE 3: More social unrest in China documented here: Chinese Street Vendor Dispute Expands into Violent Melee, and here: China unrest as hundreds protest against Taizhou land grabs, and here: Claims of injustice spur wave of unrest in China, and here: Lead poison protest adds to Chinese unrest, and here: Inner Mongolia protests prompt crackdown
"A very difficult balancing act for the Chinese"
*$20,000 Question: If the wealthy Chinese see the writing on the wall and hit the exits before the general population erupts in angry protests (that spur equally angry government crackdowns), then what happens to all the Western brands that rushed to build build build expand expand expand inside the country so that they could peddle their expensive goods to the wealthy Chinese?
2.) Michael Jackson Perfume Saga is Less Thriller, More Bad:
"That loud thudding sound you heard … was a 15-page legal complaint landing in the lap of Julian 'Franck' Rouas, the colorful character from the Côte d'Azur who, along with the late singer's father, Joe Jackson, was planning to market his-and-hers perfumes that celebrated MJ, without quite using his name or likeness on the products. Turns out there may be a little problem with that. The Michael Jackson estate's corporate entity granted Bravado International Group exclusive rights to market merchandise—including fragrances—using MJ's name and image. Yesterday afternoon in Federal District Court in Los Angeles, Bravado filed suit against Julian Rouas a/k/a Franck Rouas and his company Julian Rouas Paris, Inc. They claim trademark infringement, dilution, and misappropriation, along with copyright infringement and a bunch of other fun stuff."
Our favorite fragrance crank, Dr. Avery Gilbert, has been on top of this shady, unsavory deal ever since it first surfaced in January, and kept following as it got fishier, and fishier.
The UK's Guardian is reporting that Michael Jackson's father believes he has the right to exploit his son's name and likeness, whether there's a contract or not: "'They can say whatever they want,' Joe said. 'I am the father, [Michael] was my son and I can decide what to do on his behalf and in his honour.'"
So, he birthed him, he owns him? Yeah, good luck with that argument.
Other smelly news:
A.) Wine Disguised As Perfume Can Only End Badly: A wine company in Europe has decided that the way to reduce consumer confusion and get more women to buy their wine is to shape their wine bottles like perfume bottles (heaven forbid they should just make better wine). The company won Innovation of the Week praise for their concept, but so far, in all the comment sections I've read, none of the female consumers seem impressed by the idea.
Sample comments: "This is just like some of the horrendous, completely misjudged new products that they dream up on the Apprentice. I would love to see the market research on this and what sales turn out to be like. Highly offensive." and "If someone is so far gone that they are prepared to drink out of a perfume bottle I think confusion over which wine to buy is the least of their problems."
And an on-target critique from Dr. Vino: "Argh, those crowded product assortments confusing women wine shoppers! Apparently the wines come in three different flavors/aromas/varieties: No. 4 Ruche – jasmine scent, No. 6 Malvasia – rose scent, and No. 8 Moscato – violet scent. What that exactly means is not clear — are they for drinking or dousing?"
Some photographic illustrations of the (clever?) bottling below:
Pack of the day: Mazzetti d'Altavilla wine-perfume hybrid
B.) LVMH moves to consolidate perfume production in-house: "I found a very interesting article in yesterday's Le Monde, a leading french daily newspaper. It says that LVMH is insourcing back the manufacturing of their perfumes, starting with 4 recent Dior creations that are now entirely manufactured in-house and no longer by IFF, Givaudan and the like."
While the big Flavor & Fragrance labs manage to control the formulae to designer fragrances due to the use of patented raw fragrance materials, a perfume formula itself cannot be patented (thanks to a court ruling that declares perfume formulae "non-creative"). And since the designer brands own the names and packaging, then corporations like LVMH can put whatever they want in the bottles, really — they've simply been using the global F&F companies out of habit, and because it's a system that's worked for a long time.
But brands like Chanel and Hermes broke away from the single-lab created perfume system a while back and started creating their own perfumes in-house, hiring specialized master perfumers to concoct the formulae (Jacques Polge for Chanel, and Jean-Claude Ellena for Hermes) and purchasing raw materials from whichever source they found worked best for them rather than chain themselves to the materials one specific F&F laboratory might wish to push at any given time.
Paris based fragrance journalist Denyse Beaulieu at Grain de Musc describes LVMH's move in-house as a betrayal of the laboratory system and the (mostly French) perfumers who work for those laboratories, but I can't find any criticism on her site of Chanel or Hermes for doing the same, so I'm a little lost as to where her sense of alarm comes from.
Beyond, of course, that she's a fragrance writer in Paris and a lot of her new friends at the F&F labs are understandably up in arms about the whole thing (job security, etc.). In every other instance in the luxury industry, bringing design and manufacturing back home and in-house is considered a good thing: the company gains greater control over the finished product and can negotiate more successfully for better pricing and a consistent quality of raw materials without being captive to any one supplier.
*NOTE 4: Gucci established a hi-tech manufacturing plant in Italy to keep the production of its high-end leather goods in-house and under one roof, for example. I've yet to read anyone criticizing that as a betrayal of factory workers in Sri Lanka.
LVMH is a powerhouse within the fragrance industry, owning brands like Dior, Guerlain, Kenzo, Fresh and Fendi (and there's that little skirmish at present over the House of Hermes), so any new move on their part is bound to shake things up. And like any other industry that's established a comfortable groove in which it operates, yanking the needle off this particular co-dependent record is going to result in some unpleasant noise.
But let's be honest about it — Flavor & Fragrance labs are outsourced labor, pure and simple. They may not be outsourced labor in Cambodia or Guanzhong, but why in the world should any company continue to outsource production from anyone, anywhere if they don't especially have to? Besides, global labs like Givaudan, IFF, Symrise and Firmenich have been churning out increasingly interchangeable product for the last two decades, so they don't really have a lot of wiggle room to carp about the loss of artistic integrity.
Even Ms. Beaulieu wrote of the latest French Fragrance Foundation awards, "That Belle d'Opium by Yves Saint Laurent won best feminine … nearly put me off my food."
Belle d'Opium was created and produced by Firmenich.
"An over-used and abused accord" — Octavian Coifan, 1000 Fragrances
Is it possible that LVMH could do any worse?
C.) Spanish group Puig buys majority stake in Gaultier label: "Last month, it bought Hermès's 45% stake in the house of Jean-Paul Gaultier, plus another 10% of the stock from the designer himself. In February, it officially took over the Valentino fragrance license from Procter & Gamble and this June will launch its first perfume with the House."
The Financial Times article states the 55% ownership in Gaultier that Puig purchased doesn't yet include the rights to the Gaultier fragrance line, which is presently held by Beauté Prestige International. But that license expires in 2016, and with Puig now holding the majority controlling interest in Gaultier, I would suspect that Beauté Prestige International's days of creating and producing the highly profitable Gaultier perfumes are numbered.
Puig is unusual in that it's a fragrance conglomerate that has moved into owning and producing fashion, rather than the other way around. For example, Puig has been producing Paco Rabanne fragrances for years, but is scheduled to resurrect the Paco Rabanne clothing label this coming Autumn in Paris with Indian designer Manish Arora at the helm.
Out of the fire, into the Rabanne — Manish Arora's Fall 2011 collection
D.) Actress Helena Bonham Carter wears specially created fragrances to get into character: "My son, one of his friends' mothers is a perfumer and for a few characters now, we discuss the character and she makes up a perfume. It really does help. Obviously, you can't smell it offscreen — it's not a scratch-and-sniff performance. But for me it helps because it brings a whole atmosphere."
Which brings up a whole new interesting topic for discussion — what might your favorite fictional characters smell like? Mine's easy: Nick and Nora Charles = booze, cigarettes and coffee.
3.) Saks Fifth Avenue Decides It Needs to Appeal to More Asian Customers:
"Saks Fifth Avenue, which currently carries Asian brands such as Junya Watanabe, Issey Miyake and Comme des Garcons, may be looking to carry more Asian labels at its stores . . . Jennings said that more Asian designers are seeking to expand into the American and European luxury fashion markets, as Asian-inspired designs and brands gain in popularity in the West."
Might this have something to do with the emigration of wealthy Chinese mentioned previously? You can take the wealth out of Asia, but you can't take the Asian out of the wealth — or something like that.
Other department store news:
A.) Nordstrom buys online flash sale retailer Haute Look: "Nordstrom created what could be an epic fashion merger … when it announced that it would acquire the online sales site HauteLook for $180 million in stock."
What better way to promote new designers and merchandise than to snap up a website all primed and ready to deliver limited time exclusive sales to a wide internet audience? It's a very smart move for Nordstrom, while also giving Haute Look access to the chain retailer's vast purchasing network, not to mention its considerably deep pockets.
But beyond expanding into online flash-sale site territory, Nordstrom recently announced their intention to push into Canada, as well: Nordstrom Says It May Expand to Canada in First Foreign Foray.
But while Nordstrom is contemplating an invasion of Canada, they just recently announced the closing of a downtown Indianapolis location that was faring poorly: "A top Nordstrom Inc. executive said Thursday morning that the company chose to close the downtown Indianapolis store after sales plummeted when it opened a (second) north-side location in 2008. Nordstrom President Erik Nordstrom flew in from the Seattle-based company's headquarters to notify the downtown store's 176 employees that the store would close on July 31."
B.) Neiman Marcus launches new discount site and concept store: "Neiman Marcus launched an e-commerce site for Last Call and new concept stores called Last Call Studio by Neiman Marcus … So far, the Studio stores are located in Dallas, TX, Rockville, MD, and Paramus, NJ . . . Average price points in the Last Call Studio stores are less than half of what is offered in full line Neiman Marcus stores so expect to find mostly contemporary brands . . . the e-commerce off-shoot for Last Call, LastCall.com … is comprised primarily of products purchased directly from vendors and consists (again) mostly of contemporary brands."
Neiman Marcus already has a discount store model called Last Call Clearance, but these are located mainly near large metropolitan areas and stock a lot more high-end and luxury brands than the Last Call Studio models. The LastCall.com site was launched in October of 2010.
So who needs Haute Look when you can just do it yourself, right?
In related Neiman Marcus news, the retail chain reports that profits and sales are up: "Neiman Marcus Inc. said Friday that its fiscal third-quarter profit more than doubled, reflecting strong sales gains. The Dallas-based retailer also said that the 200,000-square-foot expansion of its warehouse on Pinnacle Point Drive will be finished in August to handle its growing online business."
Chief Executive Karen Katz states that Neiman Marcus is doing everything it can to engage customers in social media formats, reaching out via Facebook and Twitter, and that "email and texting has replaced the telephone as the primary ways we engage and communicate with our customers."
No word yet one what their plans are for "reaching out" should those savvy social media followers continue to abandon established platforms like Facebook, with over six million U.S. users and over 100,000 UK users disabling their Facebook accounts last month: Facebook traffic plummets in the US
That's the danger of chasing after the latest tech trends — they're outmoded and outdated by the time large companies and corporations get a plan for engagement pushed through committee. Karl Lagerfeld is sounding downright prescient when he mentioned years ago that the internet and luxury companies are not a match made in heaven.
Though Lagerfeld does love creating those WTF mini-movies for Chanel fans to puzzle over on YouTube:
Was it his intention to make a life of luxury look so sour and unappealing?
Seriously, Mr. Lagerfeld, you can stop proving your point. Please.
Hey! You know who would make a great promo film for a luxury brand? Erik Brunetti, that's who.
Where the style is street and the artist is real
Nearly every mid to high-end brand is desperate to establish street and youth cred, yet they hire directors like Martin Scorsese to direct their promo movies. Why not bring on a genuine street artist instead, right? Seriously, if there are any marketing/PR agencies out there reading this, do us all a favor, ditch those deals with the played-out Hollywood establishment and give us the real deal.
I mean, really, if you're trying to update your image to appeal to an edgy, younger and internationally savvy consumer, you don't hire David Lynch:
Where played-out establishment lowers the bucket into creative bankruptcy
Whoever green-lit that project deserves a permanent vacation. In Siberia.
C.) Macy's pairs up with . . . Giambattista Valli? Styleite is as shocked over the rumor as I am: "Valli's clothing is beautiful, but it's not for everyone. A lot of his clothing is very edgy and very forward thinking — they're the kind of dresses that get noticed before the person wearing them gets noticed. Even his most basic sheath dresses call to mind a kind of sleek attitude that not everyone can pull off. Accordingly, his more complicated-looking frocks can be so beautiful they're actually intimidating."
Look, I know, low-high collaborations are all the rage, but they only work when they make at least some small amount of sense. Macy's + a designer of haute couture level ready to wear whose name most customers won't even know how to pronounce doesn't really = hitting it out of the ballpark.
Giambattista Valli, Fall/Winter 2011/2012
I've never figured out why high-end designers want to drag their reputations through the high-street gutter with subsistence level labor collections anyway. No matter how simplified the concept, the execution always comes up sorely lacking. Is cheap polyester and sweatshop wages what Valli wants to sign his name to?
Well, that and the back of the paycheck Macy's will hand him, of course.
But as I mentioned back in September of 2010: "Such thinking (and collaborating) completely explodes the myth of any participating brand's exclusivity."
Good night, Mr. Valli. It was so terribly nice to know you.

CHICAGO — Charles Thompson, the longtime publisher of American Coin-Op, has purchased the magazine from Crain Communications Inc. effective June 1. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
American Trade Magazines LLC (ATM) will continue to publish American Coin-Op, as well as American Drycleaner and American Laundry News, from offices in Chicago.
Leading ATM is President and Publisher Charles Thompson, who maintains overall responsibility for the magazine's editorial, production, circulation, promotion and sales operations.
Thompson joined Crain Communications as Midwest sales manager in 1989 and was promoted to national sales manager in 1994, associate publisher in 1997 and publisher in 1998.
"We are excited to be able to give these titles a more entrepreneurial approach," he says. "In this new environment, we will be better able to react more quickly to our markets' wants and needs. We will also be expanding into new markets in the coming months. We have a great team in place to take American Trade Magazines to a new level."
Thompson has retained three ATM veterans to ensure the publications' continuity while exploring new growth opportunities.
Editorial Director Bruce Beggs has been the editor of American Laundry News since 1999. He is now responsible for the editorial content for all three publications, utilizing the diverse talents of industry experts and freelance contributors.
National Sales Director Donald Feinstein oversees all advertising sales for the group's print publications and digital media products. Feinstein joined Crain Communications in 1996 and helped produce a dozen business and trade publications over several years. He joined ATM in 2001 as the group's production manager, overseeing the transition to an all-digital workflow. In 2005, he moved into ad sales and became Eastern regional sales manager.
Digital Media Director Nathan Frerichs joined ATM as web editor in 2010. After many years working as a print writer, designer and photographer, Frerichs crossed the digital divide in 2003 and hasn't looked back. His responsibilities now include developing and designing the three publications' websites, e-newsletters and other new-media projects.
Advising Thompson will be John S. Suhler, co-founder and general partner of Veronis Suhler Stevenson, a private equity and debt capital fund management company that invests in the media industry. For much of his operational career, Suhler was a senior manager/publisher/president in educational, professional and consumer publishing.
One of ATM's first orders of new business will be the unveiling of new websites. The resource-driven, user-friendly sites—AmericanCoinOp.com, AmericanDrycleaner.com and AmericanLaundryNews.com—have been reimagined and retooled.
ATM will be exhibiting at the Clean Show June 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the staff invites attendees to stop by Booth 1175 to learn more about the magazines and see demonstrations of the new websites.
Until the company relocates to its new offices in Chicago, staff members may be reached by cell phone or e-mail:

Geno Smith has a new agent (USA Today Sports Images)
New York Jets second-round quarterback Geno Smith has decided on a new agent, telling reporters that on Wednesday that he will sign with "Roc Nation", the sports representation agency owned by rapper Jay-Z.
Smith parted ways with his original agents, Jeff Nalley and Erik Burkhardt of the Houston-based Select Sports Group, after falling out of the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.
"When you talk about being in New York, from the standpoint of what they can do in the city, I think it's a good move," Smith said, via Connor Orr of The Star-Ledger.
According to the NFLPA agent database, the only certified contract advisor employed by Roc Nation is Kimberly Miale, a associate and civil litigator at the Boston-based law firm of Tucker, Heifetz & Saltzman. Miale has not negotiated an active NFL contract, but the 2011 collective bargaining agreement has removed much of the negotiations from the rookie signing process.
As the No. 39 overall pick in the draft, Smith will sign a four-year contract worth around $5 million with nearly $3 million guaranteed. Smith will earn $405,000 in base salary this season, will receive a signing bonus of $2,030,620 and will earn $600,000 in fully guaranteed base salary in 2014.
Parting ways with a highly experienced NFL agency for an upstart group owned by one of the most successful hip-hop artists of all time has led some to question whether or not the rookie was choosing style over substance. Smith disagrees with that assessment.
"That's perception, I don't worry about the outside world's perception when it comes to that kind of stuff," Smith said. "I'm strong in my faith, I know this isn't because of an image thing or marketing myself. It's more about being comfortable with the people representing me."

Christmas is about Christ.
It's easy to forget what Christmas is really about. Christmas a lot of times gets busy with shopping and eating and family events.
Frankly, our lives can get very exhausting and stressful doing those things. Worst of all, in all this activity, we forget what Christmas is all about.
Christmas is about Christ's Birth. The most wonderful Gift that God has ever given us. It was the only true way we could ever overcome the curse of sin.
His coming was foretold in Isaiah 9:6.
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Just thinking about it brings peace and joy into my heart. Thank you Jesus.
I'm just your average guy who loves Jesus. To see all articles by Peter Click Here!

Vastly increase your chances of being accused of harassment in the workplace with the novelty Christmas gift Belt Mistletoe
Just in case your office Christmas party wasn't quite awkward enough for you, product-designer and self-help author Shed Simove is launching Belt Mistletoe, a novelty Christmas gift for office pranksters, on Kickstarter today.
Belt Mistletoe is exactly what it says on the tin: a clip-on plastic version of the real thing that is sure to elicit nervous laughter after a glass or two of cheap wine at office Christmas parties the world over.
Watch the campaign video:
Shed Simove, self-proclaimed comedian and corporate speaker, is throwing in a host of rewards for pledging support.
Incentives include his motivational book, Success or your Money Back, gag Christmas cards designed by himself and banknotes of a fictitious currency aptly named 'EGO', bearing his name and likeness.
Simove is quite the prankster, having made it into the tabloids a handful of times for quite curious reasons, including posing as a teenager to go back to school for a Channel 4 documentary and changing his name to 'God'.
Office Prankster
Shed – short for Sheridan – is launching his campaign now so that his first run of Belt Mistletoe is ready for Christmas.
As he's only asking for £5,000 he'll likely secure funding, but given the backlash against sexism in the tech scene this year, this childish gimmick with misogynistic undertones might not be a hit in Tech City.
I can picture it now. A half-tipsy middle-management boss making his way across the office: Santa hat askew, plastic cup in hand, grim smirk on his face, and a Belt Mistletoe fastened in place.
Merry Christmas.

Ease of Use
This is the first type of birth control i have taken and i am extremely unsatisfied due to the negative side effects. From the several reviews i have read, many women have experienced the same problems as i have. After 6 months of use, i noticed a dramatic decline in my sex drive. I haven't been myself at all.

Solar energy
Solar energy refers broadly to the technologies which convert energy from the sun into useful power, usually either electricity or steam.
Expanded Definition
The most common kind of solar energy is photovoltaic cells, which directly convert light to electricity. They traditionally have been wafers of polysilicon, but recently thin film technologies have been under development. They are less costly to produce, do not require silicon, and usually are less efficient in terms of yield of electricity produced from photo energy input. Photovoltaic systems are commonly installed on homes and businesses. In Germany, subsidies for solar energy have resulted in creation of solar farms, where people have invested in solar panels as a source of income.
Another kind of solar energy is solar thermal, where solar energy is collected and turned into heat. This method was promoted for home owners to heat water during the energy crisis of the '70s. Water circulated through roof mounted panels to heat tanks usually in the basement. Larger systems use sophisticated technology to collect sunlight in a field of mirrors and then direct those rays to a point where a fluid is heated to high temperatures. Such systems work best in desert areas, but some environmentalists find them objectionable.
Solar energy is as free as air breathing and there are many ways of capturing it with minimal capital expenditures. We can open window curtains to let in sunlight and warmth, but it only works in the southern sides of houses. The northern sides of houses are never shone on and are always in the shadow constantly. However, there is a new way of bringing sunlight and warmth into the shady northern sides of houses with means of reflecting sunlight. With use of heliostats, we can reflect sunlight and warmth back to houses. We can build heliostats with aluminium foil glued on smooth masonite boards and mounted on posts. Aluminium foil is nearly as effective as mirrors commonly used with heliostats. It has not caught on commercially or it will certainly be popular in underdeveloped nations that rely excessively on firewood for heat.
In broadest terms, photosynthesis, the process by which plants absorb solar energy and convert it to sugars and or cellulose, can be viewed as a solar energy technology. Algae farms designed to produce fuels are one example. In a sense, coal and oil are forms of stored solar energy.
The leading manufacturer of solar panels in the US is apparently First Solar. Panels made in China have been flooding western markets at low prices causing major changes in the industry. Although traditionally, photovoltaic panels have used silicon wafers, First Solar and others now have thin film technology, less costly but a bit less efficient.
In 2013, General Electric announced that it was selling its solar panels business to First Solar. The deal included the sale of cadmium telluride thin film technology, which First Solar will use in its plants. GE had previously announced construction of a $300MM plant to make solar panels in Aurora, CO. That investment is now on hold.

The Megaupload story is the greatest thing to happen to the Internet–well, if you discount all the real-world copyright and seizure implications, which encompass more than just "oh no, I have to click two more links to watch Downton Abbey!" You might as well discount them, because this is the story that keeps delivering. First, there was a ridiculous jingle that somehow featured will.i.am, Kanye West, Chris Brown and about 20 other names. Next, the site got pulled down, resulting in an even more ridiculous lawsuit with ridiculous expenditures on yachts and swag.
And now today, MTV Hive reports that the site's founder and one-man peopler of our WTF tag, Kim Dotcom, wants to release an album. There are real names involved–Beets & Produce, who did the original Megaupload song and whose discography waffles between actually fairly legit stuff (lots of will.i.am, unsurprisingly) and stuff that's… less (artists at the point in their careers where they release tracks with names like "BBM Me.") Granted, nothing's confirmed–remember when Swizz Beats' publicist said he was CEO?–and one has to imagine the whole legal holdups would also hold up any potential album.
But should music indeed materialize from this wonder story, it could go either way. Pro: wouldn't you be interested in hearing the boasts from a guy whose cars' license plates read GUILTY, STONED, GOOD, CEO, MAFIA, and HACKER? And doesn't having had unfettered access to the whole of Megaupload mean his pool of musical inspiration was nigh-bottomless? Con: at least one tech writer (the story's about Megaupload, making this a blog-fodder smorgasbord for tech and music writers) has compared the Megaupload song to Rebecca Black, from which there's no going back.

Thanksgiving is a time for turkey, stuffing, and pie– lots and lots of pie. For runners, it's also one of the most popular race days across the country. Turkey Trots, as most of the races are called, can be anything from traditional road races, cross country races, relays, family fun runs or silly dress up jogs. Some even offer turkey and pie to racers upon finishing. How cool is that?!
Most races are relatively short and relaxed, so you don't have to worry about missing out on Grandma's famous pecan pie.
On a day where we consider gratefulness, it's good to know the revenue of many Turkey Trots goes to support worthwhile charitable organizations like your local food bank.
Many runners use the Turkey Trot ritual to help ease the weight of the heavy caloric dinner as well as help out a good cause. Thanksgiving really can be guilt free. Thanksgiving dinner can easily rack up 3000 calories, so burning off some of that is a smart idea. This Thanksgiving we encourage you to participate in a Turkey Trot–especially those that require runners to bring a can of food for the local food bank.

A girl always likes getting flowers, and with Garden Wall Mirror by artist Christine Gentz the flowers will never wilt, plus our universe gets a dash of fantasy to lighten the mood. In admiring our own reflection, we imagine our own personal wonderland, represented by beautiful pink or turquoise flowers and buzzing bees. This mirror is imaginative, and nudges our appearance out of the center of the spotlight so the constant beauty scrutiny doesn't multiply into paranoia or insecurity (cuz that's just not becoming).

I'm taking my first foray into plugin development and have got confused pretty quickly. I'm attempting to make a simple plugin that stores hex colours against terms, so you can assign a colour to a tag or category and then use that in a theme.
What I cant figure out is how to get the term_id of a newly created or edited term. I've bolted on a form to 'edit_tag_form' with a colour picker and can access these values through $_POST, but if it's a newly created tag I don't see how my code can know the ID of the newly created one. I need to know the term_id to be able to link it with the hex colour and save it to wp_options.
I'm using the action hook 'edited_term'. I guess for edited existing terms I could get the tag_ID from the query string, but I want to be able to assign colours immediately to newly created tags/categories.

"The Synthetics Replacer", Nu-FLOW® offers producers an option to replace synthetics or other anti-caking agents including SiO2 tri-calcium phosphate, or talc with a natural or certified organic ingredient. Using 'rice concentrate' on your label statement gives you a clean, consumer-friendly label while also solving anti-caking, flow and other manufacturing and/or production challenges.
Nu-FLOW is made from rice hulls that are sterilized and ground to a fine powder. The unique functionality comes from the fact that 'Mother Nature' causes the rice plant to take up silica from the soil and concentrate it in the hulls of the rice. Thereby producing a natural alternative to silicon dioxide or other anti-caking/flow agents.

Green Finds in Tampa Bay
From Renee Rutledge on April 28, 2009 in Locations
Tampa may well be on its way to taking over the moniker Green Bay. A blog called Creative Loafing has been listing the 100 greenest people and organizations in the Tampa Bay area and some of the list-makers are quite intriguing.
Project 3.0/The Roosevelt made it on the list because Rudy Arnauts, Steve Francois, Joe Redner, and Bryan Roberts came up with the bright idea to turn one of the areas old buildings into something new. The 100+ year old brewing company structure was remodeled using different, sustainable, modern architecture and construction styles. The building also features A/C that runs off of well water circulating through a concrete slab, which doubles as a canvas for artwork. The building itself is a showcase of green talent, but will also be used as an event hall and artist think tank.

Eckerd College also made the list as the greenest campus in town - and were not talking about the lawn on the quad. The school has implemented several campus-wide initiatives to get students thinking not only of their future but the future of the world upon which they are about to embark. Eckerd has a student-wide bike share program, a student-run recycling program, and environmental film festival and a partnership program whereby the students donate used items at the end of each year that they might otherwise throw away to local charitable organizations who recycle the items to new users.
McDonalds paved the way for other fast food chains like Burger King, Wendys, and KFC, but now theres EVOS to challenge their ways. Three guys decided they loved fast food, just not how un-green the food, cooking methods, and buildings are in those places. Dino Lambridis, Alkis Crassas, and Michael Jeffers created Evos, which now has 11 locations, as a more sustainable fast food restaurant. Evos features humane meat, no-oil cooking, wind-energy usage, and no-VOC paints.

Tampa Street Market sounds like a place I would love to shop in. This green boutique, run by Amy and Charles Haynie, offers salvaged and recycled items, custom made furniture, and other green products. They even have a blog about their shop and the stuff they do and sell there.
REAL Building sounds like a really great company. It stands for responsible, efficient, attainable, livable, and its a consultation firm that assists builders and homeowners with planning, designing, and building sustainable homes. The companys VP of business development, Taylor Ralph, was the first Florida resident to have a LEED certified home at the gold level.

I recently encountered a breakthrough in FHE crypto, which claims to have a literally quasi-linear time FHE without any "lambda" factor in the keys and no noise in the cipher-text.
This fully homomorphic encryption works like for addition like $E(m_1)·E(m_2) = E(m_1+m_2)$ and for multiplication like $E(m_1)^{m_2} = E(m_1·m_2)$ ; they say they achieved it using p-adic exponential.
My Question is: What is exactly p-adic exponential?

GreenStone Clinic Muskoka in Bala, Ontario, released a statement saying Rob Ford is there.
TORONTO (AP) — A rehab facility in a small Ontario town has confirmed that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is undergoing treatment at its clinic.
GreenStone Clinic Muskoka in Bala, Ontario, released a statement Friday saying that Ford is at its facility. The clinic says it released this information with the embattled mayor's consent.
Ford announced late last month that he was seeking treatment for an alcohol problem after a new video surfaced that appeared to show the mayor smoking a crack pipe — nearly a year after reports of an initial video that appeared show him smoking the drug.
Ford's erratic behavior — including another video in which he threatened to "murder" — led Toronto's city council to strip him of most of his powers. For says he's running for re-election in October.
