Florida State's status in the Atlantic Coast Conference was safe and secure on Friday and anything but on Saturday based on separate interviews with Seminoles powerbrokers.
The Big 12 likely is playing close attention to all of it.
Seminoles athletic director Randy Spetman told the Orlando Sentinel in a story published Friday that his programs were committed to the ACC. But at least one member of the board of trustees, chairman Andy Haggard, isn't on the same page.

Where to Stay in Sukhumvit
Editor's Guide to Recommended Hotels in Sukhumvit
The easiest way to break Sukhumvit Road down is by Skytrain (BTS) station, as the areas surrounding each exude their own unique character, attractions and highlights. Nana is known for nightlife and its street market, while Asoke, a business district, houses a lineup of luxury serviced apartments and high-rise office buildings.
Phrom Phong and Thonglor offer a multicultural dynamic, home to a large community of Japanese and Korean expatriates – staying in these two areas puts you in the midst of Bangkok's cosmopolitan dining, shopping and hotel scene. The further away from the city, beyond Thonglor and towards the end of the BTS line at On Nut station, the more suburban and less touristy Sukhumvit Road becomes.
Nana BTS station is close to Sukhumvit 'sois' (lanes) 5, 6 and 7, an area known for nightlife and its street market. The infamous Nana Plaza (a Go-Go 'mall') is possibly the area's biggest attraction, but there are also many tailors, jewellery shops, great restaurants and the charming Little Arabia, an authentic touch of the Middle East with wonderful (and different) eating experiences. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, where many exhibitions and trade fairs are held throughout the year, is also close by.
4-star | Great Value | Business Travellers and Families | Internet in Rooms | City Views
Consisting of 128 luxurious rooms and 239 fully equipped one- and two-bedroom apartments, the modern decor of this four-star hotel is striking and soothing at the same time. Tucked away in a quiet lane just off bustling Sukhumvit Road, the two buildings are a leisurely five-minute stroll from BTS Nana. Hi-tech features include large LCD TV's and wireless internet. To complete the picture, there's a spa, fitness facilities, Business Centre and a fun, themed outdoor pool area. Read More...
4-star | Great Value | Extensive Facilities | Spa | Close to Nightlife
A towering landmark in Nana area, this three-star hotel is an established name in downtown Sukhumvit. The two hotel wings house up to 830 guest rooms and suites categorised into seven room types, catering to various budget and travel style, whether family, business, couples, or individual travellers. A major highlight, besides the location in the heart of Sukhumvit's nightlife zone, is the extensive choice of dining and recreational facilities, including nine restaurants and bars, a spa, jogging track, outdoor pool, sauna and spacious fitness centre, among others. Read More...
3 Star | Young Travellers or Executives | Rooftop Bar | Swimming Pool
A trendy, futuristic place to stay, hang out and be seen on sophisticated Sukhumvit Soi 11.

One of the biggest conveniences of this area is that the Sukhumvit BTS line connects here with the underground (MRT), giving you the flexibility to explore larger parts of the city with public transportation (quickly and conveniently).

At night, street vendors set up shop in the area around the BTS station, and a wide range of Asian and international restaurants can also be found here.
5-star | City Views | Near BTS and MRT | Cutting-edge Design | Equipped for Business
The Grand Millennium Sukhumvit's sail-like glass façade makes a bold design statement.

Benjasiri Park, right next to The Emporium, is a welcome patch of green for a stroll or to enjoy some fresh air.

Cast in contemporary Asian style, its 108 studios and suites feature soothing earth tones, wooden floors and are equipped with the internet, 32" LCD TVs and a kitchenette. The swimming pool, fitness centre, business centre and rooftop tennis court elevate Legacy Suites far beyond the stock 'home-from-home' concept. Read More...
5-Star | Small Luxury Hotel | Business Centre | Spa | Free Wi-Fi in Room
S31's towering glass-and-steel façades and quirky exterior design belie the understated elegance of the interiors. All rooms and suites feature 8-foot bed, an entire wall of windows, a 42" LCD screen, iPod docking station and complimentary in-room Wi-Fi access. The rooftop, salt-water pool is unlike anything you've ever seen, with a curved glass wall separating the pool from garden area. Dining from up here is accompanied by an all-encompassing view of the downtown Sukhumvit skyline. Read More...
Once a purely residential neighbourhood, due to its slightly off-centre location, Thonglor has blossomed into a centre for nightlife and shopping, though with a more sophisticated feel than, say, Siam, Silom and other areas along Sukhumvit. Rather than lifestyle mega-malls, you have low-rise open-air 'boutique' malls and independent shops lining its 2km stretch. After sunset, the entire Thonglor transforms into a playground for the hip and cool, with a handful of swanky bars and pubs competing for your attention. With the BTS Skytrain Thonglor Station, commuting to downtown Sukhumvit or Silom is a breeze.
5-Star | Executive Floor | Rooftop Lounge | Equipped for Business
Minimalist elegance and intelligent luxuries underscore the experience at this ultra-modern serviced residence. The 148 studios and one- to three-bedroom suites offer spacious living spaces, with dark wood floors, strong, contemporary lines and frameless windows for panoramic city views.

The outdoor infinity-edge pool, sundeck with cosy loungers, fitness and restaurant complete the experience. Read More...
4-Star | Excellent Value | Free Wi-Fi in Room | Free Shuttle Service to BTS
A low-rise, resort-style hotel in the midst of Thonglor's glittering high-rises like this intimate four-star property is a rare find. Salil Hotel Thonglor redefines a 'boutique' experience with its colour-themed interiors and details like arched windows and wrought-iron balconies. Rooms are fitted out with LCD screens, DVD players, work desks and mini-bars.

Bradley Manning, We Can't Let Him Stand Alone
Bradley Manning's courage, honesty and idealism are a shining light. Sadly, the prosecution has decided to go ahead with their case for the most serious charges. Of course they want to make sure that this breach of 'security' will not happen again. The question is whose security are they protecting? The unfortunate response of our government to the Geneva Conventions appears to be an initiative to make war a secret business. Like any other criminal they depend on secrecy and deciet to pursue their illegal and immoral practices. They don't want to 'appear' to be breaking any laws and they don't want the people to be disturbed by the violence, cruelty and destruction that are the realities of war.
it is fine to call the White House and contact your Congression Representatives on Bradley Mannings behalf. However, it isn't enough. We need to let them know loud and clear that we are tired of the lies, and that we cannot continue to call ourselves a democracy when our interests are discarded in the interest of grand plans for global dominion and arrogant assumptions that the lives of ordinary men and women around the globe are nothing more than 'resources' to be manipluated in the grand scheme of those whose interests matter.
We need to put Bradley Mannings name and his words every where people will see them, and celebrate his heroism in very public ways. AWe can support Bradley Manning by taking to the streets en-masse and telling the government that we refuse to support these unnecessary wars any longer. These are trategic wars in the game of world dominance which are bleeding our resources and corrupting our morality. We need to understand as Bradley does that silence is complicity.
We can let Bradley know that his message has been heard and that the people are behind him by taking up his standard and carrying it forward, on the streets, on facebook, in our publications, and in our personal spheres of relationship.

LOS ANGELES, CA (October 28, 2010)— Los Angeles-based International relief agency Operation USA announced today that it will direct sanitary and disease prevention materials to partners in the City of Jacmel and Port-au-Prince in response to the cholera outbreak that brought over 300 deaths and as many as 4,900 confirmed cases to Haiti this week.
This is the first cholera outbreak in Haiti in 50 years. To date, the outbreak has been contained to the central rural regions around the Artibonite River, 60 miles north of the capital. Though there are reports that the number of new cases is stabilizing, the outbreak still poses a severe threat to densely populated Port-Au-Prince—and beyond. Cholera is a bacterial infection that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration—spread through contaminated drinking water, or foods that have been washed in contaminated water. Without immediate diagnosis and treatment cholera can quickly be fatal. With thousands of still displaced Haitians living in densely populated conditions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, this outbreak will remain a concern for some time to come.
Operation USA is appealing for donations of funds from the public and corporate donations in bulk of health care and sanitation materials, including antibiotics and water purification supplies.
Donate online at www.opusa.org, by phone at 1.800.678.7255 or, by check made out to Operation USA, 3617 Hayden Ave, Suite A, Culver City, CA 90232. Text "AID" to 50555 and donate $10 to OpUSA's Haiti relief efforts.
About Operation USA's work in Haiti
Operation USA responded rapidly to the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, shipping emergency aid within days of the disaster. Numerous long-term recovery projects are currently underway, with an emphasis on education, healthcare, youth programs, livelihood and social services. Operation USA estimates that it has sent over $5.5 million in donated medical, energy, food and shelter supplies to Haiti to date getting essential pharmaceuticals, medical, emergency and shelter supplies, generators and light towers, as well as medical personnel to partner agencies on the ground in Port-au-Prince, as well as the equally hard-hit city of Jacmel. Operation USA has focused a good portion of its relief and recovery efforts in Jacmel—knowing it can make a significant impact in this smaller and somewhat overlooked community. The agencies largest project, the rebuilding of the public school Ecole Nationale JM Henriquez in Jacmel, is currently under construction.
Recipients/Partners include:
L'Athletique d'Haiti, Artists for Peace and Justice, Centre de Sante (Petit-Goave), The City of Jacmel, Hands and Feet (Jacmel), Mission Ranch Medical Clinic (Citi Soleil), Partners in Health, Project Medishare/University of Miami and St. Damien's Pediatric Hospital/St. Luke's Schools.

A new screenshot comparison for inFamous Second Son has been made comparing game footage from E3 2013 to the final build of inFamous Second Son. The purpose of this comparison is to demonstrate that a visual downgrade has not occurred to the PS4 exclusive. According to a report by DualShockers from March 15, there has been a recent controversy that inFamous Second Son has received a visual downgrade, but these comparison proves that no such thing has occurred.
With inFamous Second Son being the PS4's biggest release of early 2014, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the upcoming release, but that also means expectations are high. With gameplay footage now circulating the web, many have seen the leaked footage and some have claimed that the game doesn't match the visual quality that the game demonstrated at E3 last year.
Despite Sucker Punch dismissing these claims by stating that the lighting is different to better suit the mood of the narrative, some gamers don't believe the developer. Thanks to more footage being leaked, a comparison has been made that shows the same scenes from E3 and the final build that corroborate Sucker Punch's claim that the lighting and time of day has changed, and that no graphical downgrade has taken place.
Find the comparison screens in our media gallery located at the top right of this posting. For another comparison, you can find an animated GIF pairing of the screens below:
inFamous Second Son will be released for the PlayStation 4 on Friday, March 21. We'll have full review coverage coming soon, so stay tuned for more on inFamous Second Son in the coming days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MalibuDesigner Absolutely Beautiful!!! I LOVE this bowl. It is really big and great for doing large pasta dishes, salads, even makes a great punch bowl. It is made from a really thick pale aqua blue and white swirled glass. Every piece is handmade and unique. Feels like a piece of artwork sitting on my table! I bought almost every piece of the Lagoon collection and absolutely love it! A dealer on Amazon sells this same bowl for 2+ times as much as it is sold for here. Thanks Cost Plus for a great item at a great price! March 24, 2014

Cincinnati Bell launches BlackBerry 9100 Pearl 3G, will get Motorola Milestone XT720 in August
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G has been MIA in the USA until now. And if you were expecting one of the 'big four' carriers to get it first, you're in for a surprise. For it's Cincinnati Bell that gets bragging rights for being the first to sell the Pearl 3G.
It costs $99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and you can order one here.
Unlike the recently launched Vodafone version, this phone does have the half-qwerty keyboard.
Specs for the Pearl 3G include:
- a 2.44″ 400×360 screen
- 3.2 MP camera
- WiFi b/g/n, GPS, HSDPA and HSUPA
- a 624 MHz processor
- 1150 mAh battery
- Dimensions: 108 x 50 x 13.3 mm
- Weight: 93.6 g
A pretty compelling package all in all. It's sure to land on other US carriers as well, so just have a bit more patience if your service agreement isn't with Cincinnati Bell.
Cincinnati Bell will also be getting the Android-packing Motorola Milestone XT720 sometime in mid-August.
They have released this information to a customer that was pressing them on when it will be available.
Here's the full text of Bell's statement:
The Motorola XT720 Milestone is due to launch in Mid-August. All CBW internal testing is complete. Both CBW and Motorola anxiously await Google approval which is the last step in the launch process for this device. We'll keep you posted when we have more information to share.
This is clearly one of the most anticipated handsets of this summer on Cincinnati Bell, so let's hope there won't be any delays.
In any case, we'll keep you informed.

Organised Sport #1
Moreover, sport is linked with the technical world because sport itself is a technique. The enormous contrast between the athletes of Greece and those of Rome is well known. For the Greeks, physical exercise was an ethic for developing freely and harmoniously the form and strength of the human body. For the Romans, it was a technique for developing the legionnaire's efficiency. The Roman concept prevails today. Everyone knows the difference between a fisherman, a sailor, a swimmer, a cyclist, and people who fish, sail, swim, and cycle for sport. The last are technicians; as Jünger says, they "tend to carry to perfection the mechanical side of their activity." This mechanisation of actions is accompanied by the mechanisation of sporting goods - stop watches, starting machines, and so on. In this exact measurement of time, in this precision training of muscular actions, and in the principle of the "record" we find repeated in sport one of the essential elements of industrial life.
Here too, the human being becomes a kind of machine, and his machine-controlled activity becomes a technique. This technical civilisation profits by this mechanisation: the individual, by means of the discipline imposed on him by sport, not only plays and finds relaxation from the various compulsions to which he is subjected, but without knowing it trains himself for new compulsions. A familiar process is repeated: real play and enjoyment, contact with air and water, improvisation and spontaneity all disappear. These values are lost to the pursuit of efficiency, records, and strict rules. Training in sports makes of the individual an efficient apparatus which is henceforth unacquainted with anything but the harsh joy of exploiting his body and winning.
The most important thing, however, is not the education of a few specialists, but the extension of the sporting mentality to the masses. Insofar as this represents a vigorous reaction to the mere passivity of spectator sports, it is good. But the usual result is the integration of more and more innocents into an insidious technique.

The great proof of this: how athletes' bodies 'wear out' in later life, like an over-used machine. So many dodgy knees and elbows. Or they become bloated once they retire and no longer have to follow dietary regimes.
One of the best guarantees of good health in later life is to not have played a lot of competitive sport as an adult.

There's something striking about the lack of pleasure, or any other purpose beyond winning, in this reductive approach to physical activity.
Witness the 'progress' of Andy Murray from'dour faced Scots misery' to 'almost English' national treasure - he's still appears miserable as fuck, as if admitting what most professional sportspeople don't, that he is torturing his body beyond endurance - but at least he wins things now so we get some mass reward for our complicity in his torture.

Texas Tech Golfers Finish Sixth at Red Raider Intercollegiate
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech's men's golf team finished sixth overall today with a score of 868 at the 1997 Red Raider Intercollegiate golf tournament held at Hillcrest Country Club. New Mexico State continued to sit on top of the field, claiming first place with a three-round score of 842.
"It was a very strong field," said head coach Tommy Wilson. "The scores were a lot lower today than I thought because of the weather. But, the offsetting factor was the front that moved in last night and made the greens a bit softer. The balls were checking up and the greens were putting well."
Matt Lewis, from Iowa State University, earned individual medalist honors, finishing nine under par on the tournament. Lewis completed the 54-hole event with a score of 207, on the par 72, 6,907-yard course, shooting 68, 72, 76 in each round respectively. Magnus Dohlvik, from Texas-San Antonio, was the runner up at just one stroke behind Lewis. Dohlvik was the leader after the first day of competition in the 90-player field, as Lewis moved up from fifth.
In team competition, New Mexico State shot 22 under, and eight shots lower than second place Iowa State (850). The Cyclones moved up after day one, finishing with a third-round low of 278 among the 17 schools.
The Texas Tech squad continued to sit at sixth place, as they did after each of the three rounds. The Red Raiders ended at four over with freshman Gant Bills leading the team. Bills tied for sixth place (214), shooting 71,73,70 to finish at two under par. Senior Tom Baldwin finished tied for 20th (216), just two strokes behind Bills. Junior Philip Tate tied for 29th (218), freshman Matt Loving tied for 60th (224) and junior Sean Mulherin tied for 67th (226).
"I was pleased with the scores my guys turned in," said Wilson. "It was a long day, and each of them left a few balls out there toward the end. But, they played the course well, and I was happy with their performances."
"The field this year was the strongest ever," said Wilson. "Every year we get better teams coming in. All of the coaches were really pleased with the course and were really appreciative of the people at Hillcrest Country Club."
The tournament was part of the 1997-98 Rolex Collegiate Tour, administered by the College Golf Foundation. Ahead for the Red Raiders is the Deep South Intercollegiate November 3-4 in Laurel, Mississippi.

Freshman Mia Schachter joined forces with Elizabeth Cook, Kayla Alf-Huynh and Rachel Ranson to set a Tulane record in the 400 medley relay during day one of the Phill Hansel Invitational.
Nov. 15, 2012
Day 1 Results of the 2012 Phill Hansel InvitationalHOUSTON - The quartet of Elizabeth Cook, Mia Schachter, Kayla Alf-Huynh and Rachel Ranson joined forces to set a Green Wave record in the 400 medley relay to highlight the Tulane University swimming team's day-one effort at the Phill Hansel Invitational on Thursday at the University of Houston's Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Natatorium.
The record-setting performance helped Tulane post 32 points on the day to put the Green Wave ninth among the 14 participating teams. Tulane is eight points behind Texas (40) for eighth place and holds a two-point lead over 10th-placed Idaho. Texas A&M leads the way with 411 points, followed by Arkansas with 194, SMU with 153, LSU with 119, Houston with 93, Wyoming with 62 and Fresno State with 49. UCLA is eight points back of Idaho with 22 points while New Mexico State, Air Force and Clemson round out the standings with 17, 14 and four points, respectively.
Cook, Schachter, Alf-Huynh and Ranson's time in the 400 medley relay - which was good for 11th overall in the meet - was almost a second and a half better than the previous mark of 3:47.38 set by Tiffany Brown, Linda McEachrane, Taylor Emerson and Sarah Dicharry at the C-USA Championship on Feb. 24, 2005. In addition, Rebecca Dugan, Claire Schelske, Amy Needham and Kristine Gu posted a 22nd-place finish in the event with a time of 3:54.42, which ranks seventh in Tulane history.
The marks in the 400 medley relay were two of four times that rank among the greatest in Tulane history on the day. Alf-Huynh, Gu, Anna-Lewis Matson and Ranson combined to clock a 1:34.53 in the 200 free - the fourth-best time in the Green Wave record book - while freshman Roni Meyers's time of 5:01.57 in the 500 free finals is the No. 6 individual time in Tulane history.
The Wave's time in the 200 free relay was good for 11th overall, while Cook, Allie Evans, Lauren Pfohl and Elizabeth Whitaker were 22nd in the event with a 1:37.80. Meyer, meanwhile, was 29th in the 500 free and recorded a 5:03.06 during the preliminaries. Gisele Calderon was next for Tulane with a 5:08.87, followed by Schelske at 5:08.88, Rachel Schneider at 5:10.68 and Whitaker at 5:13.58.
Alf-Huynh led the Tulane effort in the 50 free with a 23.64 to finish 23rd overall, while Gu was 38th with a time of 24.26. During the 50 free preliminaries, Ranson clocked a 24.31 followed by Pfohl at 24.67, Evans and 24.77 and both Matson and Cari Caprio with a 24.78.
Freshman Holly Grender paced Tulane in the 20 IM, touching the wall at 2:12.14 during the preliminaries. Grace Tarka was next in the event with a 2:12.53, followed by Laura Turpen at 2:13.92 and Rebecca Dugan and 2:14.79.

The WWE had a big tryout and a number of Ring of Honor Wrestling stars attended the event. Only one of the Ring of Honor stars looks likely to head to the WWE thanks to the camp. According to PWS on Monday, Kevin Steen will be offered a WWE developmental deal very soon.
When Ring of Honor received their first national television deal, Davey Richards was the champion and represented the face of the company. However, the biggest angle they started after kicking off on national television was when S.C.U.M. attempted to bring down Ring of Honor. Leading the way for S.C.U.M. was Kevin Steen, who won the ROH World Championship from Richards.
Steen held the title for almost a year. Steen, the 17th champion in the company history, held the belt until he lost it to Jay Briscoe at the "Supercard of Honor VII" in April 2013. Since that time, Steen turned face, helped destroy S.C.U.M. and has just aimlessly drifted from feud to feud, with no sense of direction.
On the "War of the Worlds" Internet pay-per-view Saturday night, Steen lost to Shinsuke Nakamura of New Japan Professional Wrestling. After the match, Steen cut a good promo. He admitted that he has not really been happy in Ring of Honor in awhile, although he loves the fans. He said that he is ready to leave and spend time with his family, as his wife just had a new child.
However, after the promo, Silas Young came out and said that Steen was the only real man other than him in Ring of Honor. However, he insulted Steen for pandering to the fans and told Steen to just quit. The two had a pull apart brawl, and it looks like they will fight at the first ever Ring of Honor pay-per-view "Best in the World." It sounds like that will be Steen's last appearance in Ring of Honor.
Kevin Steen will be joining many of his former friends and adversaries in the WWE. Sami Zayn wrestled in Ring of Honor as El Generico and was Steen's tag team partner. The feud with Steen was Zayn's final moments in Ring of Honor. Also being considered for a WWE developmental contract is Willie Mack. Attending the camp, but not under consideration are ACH and Rocky Romero. Roderick Strong also tried out, but there is no word on whether the WWE is interested in him.

Shasta County businesses have stepped up to help the evacuees who live near the Chaparral Drive home with more than 60 pounds of explosives.
Tuesday will be Day 12 since residents were asked to leave. On Sunday the home was burned down, but now residents want to know when they can return home. The area is still considered an active crime scene.
The American Red Cross relies 100 percent on donations. They approached seven Redding businesses in the area including Costco, Subway, McDonald's, Olive Garden, Round Table Pizza, Famous Dave's and Cicada Cantina.
We caught up with the general manager of the Cicada Cantina, Troy Paine, who said one philosophy of their restaurant is paying it forward. They donated 15 meals to help out the evacuees.
"We have an obligation to extend ourselves out to the community, because after all we are in the people business," said Paine.
Paine grew up in the restaurant business; he has more than 30 years of experience under his belt. He understands it's a restaurant's responsibility to give back. When the American Red Cross asked for help with meals, their whole team jumped into action.
"You see someone's in need it's about having that flexible responsibility to help out when you possibly can instead of turning the other cheek and saying that doesn't affect me because in the end it will," said Paine.
Eric Kiltz with the American Red Cross said the generosity of the businesses is exactly what they need.
"Most restaurants would get very enthusiastic, they want to help us they understand the need, we're local in the community. The restaurants are local in the community so we are all part of this community together," said Kiltz.
Paine wants people to take note of the giving community members.
"When things are down and the chips are up we would like to step up and do our part," said Paine.
Shasta county Sheriff Tom Bosenko has not given a time estimate as to when people will be allowed to return home. If you would like to support the American Red Cross, you can visit their website: http://www.redcross.org/ca/yuba-city

The Bridgeport City Council, last week, took a step towards coming to grips with the possible implications of a new state law that legalizes medical marijuana – by way of a 60-day moratorium on the drug. A question many cities are struggling with since the law took effect last month.
Bridgeport Mayor, Marilyn Lynn, says the marijuana freeze will enable the council to research and possibly seek guidance from state officials on how it should be regulated.
The new law, which was passed by voters in the November general election, launched WashingtonState into the history books as the first state in the nation to legalize marijuana for recreational use. The initiative removes criminal sanctions for anyone 21-years old or older possessing one ounce or less of pot for personal use."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Imagine waking up in a subway traveling to Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY and having no idea how you got there, where you were, where you lived or even your name. This is what allegedly happened to Doug Bruce. Unknown white male was the moniker on Douglas Bruce's identity band after the police took him to Coney Island Hospital on July 3, 2003.
The film is a documentary directed and edited by Rupert Murray, an old friend of Bruce's from his days in England. When Rupert heard what had happened to his friend he approached him about a documentary. Included in the film are interviews with Bruce's family and friends; psychologists, psychiatrists and other experts in memory loss; along with interviews with Bruce at various stages of his mystery journey into his past.
Several hours after waking in the subway, while still unidentified, Bruce is interviewed on video about his experience. He sounds genuinely confused, shaken, frightened. He had with him a backpack which contained a few items but no sort of ID. The only clue was a pink piece of paper in a Spanish-English dictionary with a phone number on it. Frightened and disoriented, Bruce went to the police who subsequently took him to Coney Island Hospital. It was a hospital staff member who called the number and described this man to the woman who answered. She claimed no knowledge of such a man. After some time it dawned on her he might be a young man her daughter had dated recently and she encouraged her to go see him at the hospital. The daughter recognized him right away, telling him, "You've got a great life."
He lived in a large loft, was a wealthy stockbroker who quit the business life at 30 to pursue photography at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. A friend had spoken to him the night before and was told Bruce planned on staying home and going to bed early.
Bruce has no memory of any of the previous 35 years of his life before he woke in the subway. When he woke in the subway he had a few bumps on his head, which was throbbing. Experts describe his type of amnesia as very rare, possibly a fugue amnesia which is often mentioned in connection with multiple personalities. Did another personality suddenly take over Doug's life?
There are many theories as to what happened to Bruce including that he is faking it to become the "toast of the town" (Washington Post). Since no physical causes were found, many have doubts about the veracity of his tale (see also NPR article).
However, Bruce's family and friends, while initially having doubts, seem convinced of his memory loss. They say he is a different person: less cynical and sarcastic, less arrogant, more introspective. He even dresses differently. He is rebuilding relationships with some of his old friends, has a new girlfriend, is getting reacquainted with his father and sisters and states some months after the incident that he no longer cares if he regains his memory, though doctors say he may regain his memory at some point.
The film delves into questions of who we really are? Are we the product of our experiences and environment or is who we are already there, built-in at birth? Did Doug concoct a way to change his life consciously or did some mysterious malady take away his memory? The film discusses types of memory and what type he retained-how to swim, speak, walk etc.; and what he lost-memories of his life experiences. He states he "saw the world with the eyes of a newborn baby and the maturity of a grown man" and that he "saw no cliches or stereotypes, only originality". He has re-enrolled in the photography program at SVA and his professors there also see a different person.
The film is a fascinating study of one man's unusual journey, and opens up questions of memory, life choices, personality development. If he is faking it he is a very talented actor and could make a bundle in film.
Watching some the the "extras" on the DVD gives some insight into how Murray put the film together, why he used some of the images we see during the film. It is for you to decide: Is Bruce for real? Were Murray's choices of imagery effective? Can you get the feeling of how it would be to wake up and not know who you are?

The couplings, when correctly installed have a design life of 100 years. They are normally suitable for use above and below ground without additional protection due to the high quality of materials used in their construction.
Additional protection may be required with couplings incorporating grade 1.4301 (304) or 1.4306 stainless steel in made-up ground such as industrial spill or colliery spoil and in cases where the ground or ground water contains chloride. In these cases a proprietary protection tape such as 'Densotape' will give satisfactory protection or alternatively couplings incorporating grade 1.4401 (316) stainless steel can be used.

Stuffed Artichokes
Of the numerous ways to enjoy artichokes, stuffing and baking them is perhaps the most scrumptious. Filling spicy soppressata and gooey cheese between artichoke leaves transforms them into a main course–worthy dish. This recipe from Epicurious is an ideal point of inspiration to take your 'chokes to a whole new level of meaty cheesiness.

Artichoke Pie
Sweet, savory, veggie- or meat-filled, pie is always a treat. AllRecipes' artichoke tart blends parmesan, mozzarella, bread crumbs, and garlic into an aromatic and hearty delicacy. Idyllic as a starter or entrée, artichoke pie is a great choice for a vegetarian feast.

Lowfat Artichoke Dip
For a low-fat, speedy, and simple appetizer, there's nothing as easy and impressive as a bowl of homemade artichoke dip. Made with canned hearts, all you need for Rosie's Amazing Lowfat Artichoke Dip is five ingredients and a food processor. Serve it on crackers, sit back, and watch your guests swoon.

Artichoke and Mushroom Frittata
Equally enjoyable straight out of the oven or chilled, Bon Appétit's artichoke and mushroom frittata is an ideal snack any time of day. The dish works best with carefully trimmed and halved baby artichokes to enhance the natural texture. Pair it with cappuccino for breakfast or chardonnay for dinner.

Spaghetti with Artichoke Hearts and Tomatoes
Ever notice how almost anything on top of spaghetti works wonderfully? This traditional twist on a classic from The Pioneer Woman is tangy, creamy, and totally delicious. Sauté hearty 'chokes with butter, garlic, and onions for an indulgent pasta dinner.

Artichoke and Potato Soup
There's nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold day—especially if it's made with artichokes and potatoes. This clever chowder from Simply Recipes is a smooth blend of Yukon Gold potatoes, shallots, leeks, and (of course) artichokes. Pair it with a crusty loaf of sourdough for a rainy day treat.

Artichoke, Kale, and Ricotta PieVeggie frittatas are a common breakfast dish, but when infused with ricotta, kale, and artichokes, they're just right any time of the day. This six-ingredient crustless pie from The Kitchn takes minimal prep and serves up maximum results. Pair it with a chilled glass of white wine for a Parisian-inspired meal.

Grilled Artichokes
While steaming is the popular preparation method for artichokes, firing 'em on the grill brings out deep, smoky, and nuanced flavors. Say sayonara to corn on the cob with this recipe from Eating Well; it's the perfect gourmet addition to your summer barbeque.

Artichokes Braised in Lemon and Olive Oil
While trimming and prepping artichokes is no easy task, this recipe from Smitten Kitchen makes it so worth it. By gently braising the artichokes, their natural tangy flavor shines in a strong new way. Make the recipe your own by adding a pour of wine, Italian herbs, high-quality olives, or white beans.

Lean Lemony Veal and Baby Artichokes
If you're a meat lover, cook your artichokes with veal cutlets for a match made in culinary heaven. Delish's recipe gently cooks the veal in a tender broth with shallots and tarragon. For a flavorsome reminder of that summer spent in Florence, there's no better choice.

1973-1979 Honda Civic
Is this the original Pregnant Roller Skate? Internet sources say no, pegging the VW Beetle as having earned that CB radio moniker among truckers. On the other hand, this was the first car I had heard referred to by that nickname back in the '70s and whenever I see one these days--rare though that is--that's what I think of it as. To be honest, back in the days of its introduction to the U.S., a lot of us probably saw the Civic and many of its Japanese subcompact brethren something like the dinosaurs viewed a diminutive little mammal in a certain Far Side cartoon: laughing their heads off while one of them noticed the first few snowflakes starting to fall. Yeah, yeah we were wrong.
Then again, I still can't say I can work up a lot of enthusiasm for the car itself other than as an historically interesting object that started off one of the great success stories in American business. It was tiny, rusted out soon after driving it off the lot (at least in the Midwest), and had fairly unexceptional 0-60 times. Still, as the years have rolled by, I guess I've developed a certain fondness for the little bugger, maybe a bit like Austin Powers finally did with Mini Me by the third (otherwise best forgotten) movie in that series. Part of this has to do with my association here, delving into the forgotten cars of the past, but I am also part of the Civic owner base, at least by marriage if not blood: my Spousal Unit has driven a Civic for several years now, and I have come to view it as an absolutely brilliant car in its simplicity and functionality.
So, I write this missive as something of an ode to youthful folly and the wisdom of old(er) age. I won't go too far into the weeds on the particulars of the car itself, which would probably be boring anyway with such a straightforward little car, but simply give a few specs, a little history, and a couple of pictures to take you, gentle reader, back to those thrilling days of yesteryear when big cars were expensive, small cars were cheap, and the Little Car That Could foreshadowed an epic struggle pitting some Japanese upstarts against the titans of the U.S. auto industry.

Reading Aloud to Children
Reading aloud is one of the most important ways to promote literacy and learning for young children. Teachers can make the most of the reading aloud by a number of proven strategies. These include: identifying a variety of literature to support the growing interests of every child, offering explanations, encouraging children to talk about the book, and asking children questions about the content of the book.
This is an excerpt from Teaching Our Youngest.
Make reading books an enjoyable experience
Read to children frequently
Help children to learn as you read
Ask children questions as you read
Encourage children to talk about the book
Read many kinds of books
Choose books to help you teach
Reread favorite books
In the landmark 1986 review Becoming a Nation of Readers, the Commission on Reading, called reading aloud to children "the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for success in reading." The best time to begin reading books with children is when they are infants—babies as young as six weeks old enjoy being read to and looking at pictures. By age two or three, children begin to develop an awareness of printed letters and words. They see adults around them reading, writing, and using printed words for many purposes. Toddlers and preschoolers are especially ready to learn from adults reading to and with them.
Reading aloud to young children is important because it helps them acquire the information and skills they need to succeed in school and life, such as:
- Knowledge of printed letters and words and the relationship between sound and print.
- The meaning of many words.
- How books work and a variety of writing styles.
- The world in which they live.
- The difference between written language and everyday conversation.
- The pleasure of reading.
Here are some suggestions for reading aloud to children.
- Make reading books an enjoyable experience. Choose a comfortable place where the children can sit near you. Help them feel safe and secure. Be enthusiastic about reading. Show the children that reading is an interesting and rewarding activity. When children enjoy being read to, they will grow to love books and be eager to learn to read.
- Read to children frequently. Read to the children in your care several times a day. Establish regular times for reading during the day, and find other opportunities to read:
- Start or end the day with a book.
- Read to children after a morning play period which also helps settle them down.
- Read to them during snack time or before nap time.
- Help children to learn as you read. Offer explanations, make observations, and help the children to notice new information. Explain words that they may not know. Point out how the pictures in a book relate to the story. If the story takes place in an historic era or in an unfamiliar place, give children some background information so that they will better understand and enjoy the story. Talk about the characters' actions and feelings. Find ways to compare the book that you are reading with what the children have been doing in the classroom.
- Ask children questions as you read. Ask questions that help children connect the story with their own lives or that help them to compare the book with other books that they have read. Ask questions that help the children to notice what is in the book and ask them to predict what happens next.
Teacher Talk
- Encourage children to talk about the book. Have a conversation with the children about the book you are reading. Answer their questions. Welcome their observations, and add to what they say. Continue to talk about the book after you have read it. Invite the children to comment on the story. Ask them to talk about their favorite parts and encourage them to tell the story in their own words.
Teacher Talk
Reading Aloud with Children
In this example, a teacher reads Eric Hill's "lift-the-flap" book Spot's First Walk. Notice how the experience is like a conversation. The teacher invites the children's comments and answers their questions. She builds on what they say and encourages them to make sense of what is happening in the story. She tells the children new information that will help them to understand and enjoy the book more.
Teacher and Children
Not in there, Spot.
T: Where's Spot going?
T: Who's saying "hello"? Do you know what that is?
Watch out!
T: Who's saying, "watch out!"?
(Picture of angry-looking cat with "!!!" in speech cat balloon)
C: Oh, it's a cat!
- Read many kinds of books. Children need to be read different kinds of books. Storybooks can help children to learn about times, cultures, and peoples other than their own; stories can help them understand how others think, act, and feel. Informational books can help children learn facts about the world around them. These books also introduce children to important concepts and vocabulary that they will need for success in school. Read books that relate to the children's backgrounds: their experiences, cultures, languages and interests. Read books with characters and situations both similar and dissimilar to those in the children's lives so they can learn about the world.
- Choose books to help you teach. Use alphabet books to help you teach the names of the letters and the sounds that each letter represents and use counting books to teach children how to count and to recognize numbers. Use poetry or rhyming books to support your teaching of phonological awareness. Use big books (oversized books that your children can easily see) to point out letters, words, and other features of print and to teach book handling. Choose stories that help children learn about social behavior, for example books about friendship to help children learn to share and cooperate. Also choose stories that show children how the world around them works for example, what is happening with the eggs that are hatching in your science area.
- Reread favorite books. Children love to hear their favorite books over and over again. Hearing books read several times helps children understand and notice new things. For example, they may figure out what an unfamiliar word means when they have heard the story several times. They may notice repeated sound patterns. If you point out some letters and words as you read the book repeatedly, children also may pick up specific words that are easily recognized and specific letter-sound relationships.
Types of Books for Reading Aloud
Alphabet books. Alphabet books usually feature the capital and lowercase forms of a letter on each page and one or more pictures of something that begins with the most common sound that the letter represents.
Counting (or number) books. In these books, each page usually presents one number and shows a corresponding number of items (two monkeys, five dinosaurs, and so forth).
Concept books. These books are designed to teach particular concepts that children need to know in order to succeed in school. Concept books may teach about colors, shapes, sizes (big, little), or opposites (up, down). They may focus on concepts (farm or zoo animals, families around the world, trucks, or places to live).
Nursery rhymes. These books often contain rhymes and repeated verses, which is why they are easy to remember and recite and why they appeal to children.
Repetitious stories and pattern books. In these predictable books, a word or phrase is repeated throughout the story, forming a pattern. After the first few pages, your children may be able to "read along" because they know the pattern. This ability will let them experience the pleasure of reading.
Traditional literature. Traditional literature includes fairy tales, folktales, fables, myths, and legends from around the world and across the ages of time. Through these beloved stories, children become familiar with many different times, cultures, and traditions. Some stories, such as Cinderella, vary slightly from culture to culture and it is interesting to compare their differences.
Wordless picture books. These books tell stories through pictures, without using words. Wordless picture books give children the opportunity to tell stories themselves as they "read," an activity that most children enjoy. In telling their stories, children develop language skills; they also get a sense of the sequence of events in stories.

Juan Pablo Galavis made Clare Crawley cry last night on "The Bachelor" 2014 when he explained that they went too far. On Feb. 4, he spoke out about it on his People blog and is saying the same thing. He is still staying quiet about if they actually had sex even though Reality Steve says they did not.
Juan says that when Clare came up to his room he was watching baseball. She was so excited that he didn't want to tell her no, but it was a mistake to go out in the water with her. Honestly fans were just happy they kept their clothes on unlike Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson.
All that he is saying that he regrets is giving her the extra time. It wasn't fair to the other women in his opinion. He doesn't reveal anything about what went on between the two while they were in the water. He honestly didn't think that he was setting a great example. Jillian Harris also spoke out on her opinion on if they had sex and you can read it here.
Don't miss a new episode of "The Bachelor" 2014 when it airs next Monday night on ABC.

Besides being able to help detect break-ins and forced entries, ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Minnesota offer sensors that can help detect a wide variety of potential dangers, including intruders, fire, and lethal carbon monoxide gas. Some models can even help detect dangerously low temperatures or possibilities of flooding. ADT's advanced security features are able to keep you and your loved ones safe from a variety of potential emergencies.
ADT Security is widely-known as the Defacto standard in Bloomington security services. For this very reason, most burglars won't even attempt to step foot into a home that has a "Protected by ADT" window decal or yard sign. Most burglars are going to do whatever they can to avoid getting caught, so you can lower the probability of becoming a victim simply by displaying the fact that you have the #1 award-winning security alarm safeguarding your Minnesota residence. But if a criminal is foolish enough to take their chances against your ADT Monitored Security System, it's comforting to know that your wise choice will allow you to return to Bloomington from your trip well-rested, energized, and with all of your home's treasures intact.
As soon as your ADT Monitored Home Security System is set up in Bloomington, MN, you have a direct connection to their countrywide network of monitoring centers, which are open round the clock, every day. These Customer Monitoring Centers are outfitted with an advanced high-tech system which enables ADT's highly-trained security professionals to respond immediately after receiving an alert from your ADT Monitored Home Security System. In moments, not only will your local Bloomington police, fire, and emergency response personnel be notified, but you will also be contacted via a direct speakerphone connection by an ATD security specialist. Even better, this advanced monitoring system is connected via both cellular and landline connections, ensuring that your Minnesota home is being monitored regardless of the available communication options.
But besides the threats that can be seen, heard, or smelled, such as intruders and fire, how can you protect your family from dangers that can neither be seen, smelled, heard, nor tasted? Deadly carbon monoxide gas is one such poison, and hundreds of lives are lost each year because of it, as well as thousands of hospitalizations. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Bloomington are also capable of sensing this "silent killer".
Get an ADT monitored security system in Bloomington MN and help protect your family today.

Let $f(x)$ defined on $[0,a]$ with the following property.
- $f(0) = b$, $f(x)\geq 0$
- $f(x)$ is a continuous and non-increasing function
Let $g(x) = xf(x) + k(ab - \int_0^a f(x) dx)$.
Does there exist a $m$, such that $\max(g(x)) \geq mab$ for every $f$? If so, how does $m$ related to $k$? I'm assuming $m = h(k)$ for some function $h$ independent of $a$ and $b$, but I might be wrong.
Graphically this means, given a function $f(x)$
The area of $x f(x)$ and the area between $h(x)=b$ and $f(x)$ times $k$ is always larger than the area of the rectangle times $m$.
I don't know what area of mathematics deals with this kind of problem. Please retag if this is not analysis related.
$k=0$ then $m=0$ is the only thing I know. I have problem even proving the case when $k = 1$. I conjecture it's $m=3/4$ when $k=1$.
