I can fully recommend the Genuine Dermaroller for effective removal of acne scars from all areas of the body. I have used this technique successfully on many clients who have acne scars, particularly on the face. It works by building up the collagen in the skin to so the scars are no longer deep/pitted.
Most clients require 2-3 Dermaroller treatments to achieve a successful result, depending on the severity of the scarring.
The scars can be treated with the Dermaroller technique in two different ways. One is with the Dermaroller where we would treat the whole face but focus on the scars, the other is with the Dermastamp where we only treat the scars.
There are advantages to each. With the Dermaroller you benefit from total facial rejuvenation to boost the collagen stores over the whole face and improve the complexion, treating pores, pitting, fine lines and wrinkles. The cost for this treatment is £200 for the face.
With the Dermastamp, a similar treatment is directed only at the scars and provides a more intensive treatment for the scars. The cost for this treatment is £130.
Many thanks for your enquiry

Hi there. Without seeing the skin it is difficult to give an exact prescription of treatment but usually microdermabrasion, chemical peels or dermaroller are most effective in removing acne scarring depending on the depth. Where abouts are you based????
drconlonsaestheticclinic 4 years ago
Dermaroller is much more effective than microdermabrasion or chemical peels with far less 'downtime' - time required for recovery following treatment. Dermaroller is also far better for the complexion generally

Hi there.
Our Aesthetic Nurse, Sharon Gilshenan, uses Dermaroller to very good effect in reducing the appearance of acne scars. Sharon has been an NHS nurse for over 20 years, and an Aesthetic Nurse for over 3 years now. She has suggested that your daughter comes in for a free consultation to meet and discuss, with no obligation, her current situation.
If you would like to make this appointment please call 01737 850117
Warmest Regards

Hi there, as an alternative to chemical peels and stronger treatments (particularly if she has young sensitive skin) Rosehip oil is clinically proven to reduce scars. trilogy rosehip oil gives
41% improvement in colour of scars
27%improvement in appearance of scars
26%improvement in visible area of scars
people who suffer from acne tend to have very delicate and inflamed skin reducing the amount of damage to the skin will vastly improve the appearance.
hope this is helpful (and its not as expensive as chemical treatments)

Acne can leave a variety of scars or marks on the skin.
If the acne has left discoloured or pigmented marks you can try microdermabrasion or light skin peels specifically formulated for fading pigmentation Skinceuticals Pigment Balancing Peel or Circadia Mandeliclear for ethnic skin types.
If the scars are more like depressions in the skin then I have found that a short course of microdermabrasion preps and boosts the skin before using medical micro skin needling using a needle of approx 1.5mm long.
It can take 3 to 6 dermaroller treatments to improve the scars by inducing collagen to form and plum up the scars.
A home care regime which includes an antioxidant Vitamin C serum every morning (Phloretin CF, C Tetra, Serum 10 by Skinceuticals and Medik8) help to fortify and lighten the skin and prep it for the cellular activity the dermaroller needs to work.
The use of a Retinol cream at night, starting only with 3 nights a week, will also stimulate a smoother firmer more even skin texture.

Thank you for your enquiry. We use a healing clay mask that helps with tissue repair, scar healing, wounds and sluggish circulation. Great for helping heal those stubborn acne scars. This will also prevent acne coming back. Hope this helps.

I agree with the other answers so I won't duplicate. Having experienced Dermaroller I would warmly recommend it. I had it at Clinica Fiore in Covent Garden, London

Yes, there are some natural ways to remove acne scars on skin. You have to rub aloe vera over the affeced area. You can also apply lemon juice, cucumber juice over it. If this remedy does not work effectively then you can go for natural skin lightening product.

Swimmers & Divers Record Four Dual Meet Victories
Jan. 6, 2012
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State swimming and diving team chalked up four dual meet wins during a five-team meet held Friday afternoon at the Aztec Aquaplex. The final results showed the Aztecs with victories over Rice (139-127), TCU (152-130), UC San Diego (159-123) and Washington State (154-112).
With the four wins SDSU improved to 12-0 on the season as it extended is dual meet win streak to 34 contests and its string of victories over non-conference opponents to 43.
San Diego State athletes recorded first-place finishes in a pair of relays and two diving events as well as eight of the 12 individual races. Double winners for the Aztecs included senior diver Kristen Meier as well as swimmers Kelly Marquenie, Katelyn Weddle and Leona Jennings.
Meier, who was one of three seniors honored prior to the start of the day's competition, set a new school record with a score of 355.60 on the three-meter board. She also captured top honors on the 1-meter springboard with a score of 3:07.40. Junior Rafaella Suarez finished second on the one-meter board with a mark of 278.35, the third-highest score in the event ever for an SDSU diver.
The Aztecs opened the meet with a win in the 200 medley relay with the foursome of Chelsea Bailey, Katelyn Weddle, Gemma Johnson and Stephanie Koch turning in a 1:43.70, a time that goes into the SDSU record book as the sixth-fastest ever. In addition, the second-place team of Leona Jennings, Natalie Meltzer, Loren Whitfield and Mikaela Macklin's time of 1:44.44 ranks 10th in the school record book.
Sophomore Kelly Marquenie then captured first in the 1000 free in 10:00.43 and would later take top honors in the 500 free with a mark of 4:54.76. Leona Jennings added to SDSU's point total with wins in the 100 backstroke (56.31) as well as the 200 back (2:02.49). Katelyn Weddle, who is just coming back after missing several weeks with an ear problem, showed little effect of the injury as she won both the 100 and 200 breaststroke with times of 1:02.96 and 2:17.33 respectively.
Other individual winners for SDSU included freshman Taylor Lakey in the 200 butterfly (2:03.62) and junior Gemma Johnson in the 100 butterfly (55.36). Berklie Oscarson finished second in the 200 fly in 2:04.02, recording the fifth-best time in that event in Aztec history
The Aztecs wrapped up the meet by turning in the fastest time in the 400 free relay as Marquenie, Koch, Macklin and Bailey went 3:27.64, the fourth-best time for the Aquaplex and eight-fastest in school history.
Up next for San Diego State is an abbreviated dual meet against Tulane on Tuesday, Jan. 10, that will get underway at 8:10 a.m. at the Aztec Aquaplex. The meet will consist of 100-yard races in the back, breast, fly and free along with a 100 individual medley and both diving events.

There's a very good chance that you have at least one friend who is freaking out over the return of the addictive SYTYCD. On this nontrashy, feel-good, talent-packed show, 20 charismatic dancers with superfit bods and quirky names (like last season's Comfort, Twitch, and Thayne) are eliminated week by week until only America's Favorite Dancer remains. Not into breathtaking salsa, hip-hop, or Bollywood routines? At least tune in to see chipper host Cat Deeley's gorgeous gowns.
Fridays at 9 p.m., starting May 29
We can't help but follow the freakin' fabulous duo of Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. They dispense just as much hilarious banter as constructive criticism to their schlubby fashion victims. (Stacy does so with snark; Clinton with hugs.) We love being able to steal their high-low wardrobe ideas — think an H&M top with a DVF pencil skirt — without having to step into the terrifying 360-degree mirror. And how's this for a random-but-fun kickoff to the show's seventh season: The first person they free from frumpiness is Mayim Bialik, aka the star of the '90s sitcom Blossom (insert Joey Lawrence "whoa!" here).

The Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures program is a proud partner of Boston's Public Schools Summer Learning Project (SLP). The four main goals include: (1) reversing summer learning loss in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, (2) helping students develop the vital social-emotional skills that research supports are necessary for school, college, and career success, (3) strengthening school-community partnerships through high quality programming, and (4) promoting student health and wellness.
The achievement gap between low-income students and their higher-income peers is explained largely by unequal access to learning opportunities beyond the school day. Summer is an especially precious resource. Students who don't participate in learning programs lose substantial knowledge and skills gained during the school year. This well documented "summer learning slide" most adversely affects low-income students, is cumulative across a young person's lifetime, and represents an expensive leak in our educational pipeline. Mounting evidence suggests that quality summer programs can stem this loss and, in some cases, even accelerate students' progress.
Today's youth struggle with a mounting obesity epidemic and the lure of technology that typically discourages physical activity. Studies show that physical activity is directly linked to brain health. Additionally, time spent outdoors leads to mental stimulation and has numerous health benefits, including improved eye development and auditory processing. Being outdoors and active is paramount for healthy youth development.
If providing healthy outdoor living and educational opportunities for low-income Boston students resonates with you, we encourage you to apply and Run like Hale!

From the smart banh mi shops of Manhattan to the busy pho emporiums of Southern California's Little Saigon, Vietnamese food is hot.
And sometimes, in our neck of the woods, it's very hot, especially if it comes from a restaurant specializing in the spicy dishes of central Vietnam. But don't worry if hot's not your thing; there's plenty that's soothing and mild, too.
Some of the best cooking in and around Dallas at the moment is happening in Vietnamese restaurants, whether a searingly spicy seafood hot pot from an amazing spot in Garland, or a refreshing bun cha Hanoi (rice vermicelli and grilled pork dressed up with fresh herbs and pickled vegetables) in Richardson. And there's so much in between: whole baked catfish blanketed in crunchy shallots and scallions; springy goi cuon summer rolls; silky crêpes filled with earthy mushrooms and shrimp; bright, tangy salads of sliced rare beef; layered, icy parfaits for dessert. And snazzy drinks, such as fresh, fizzy soda lemonade; lightly sweet young coconut juice with silky slices of coconut; and strong, sweet Vietnamese coffee, made in a drip pot on your table.
If you're a newcomer to Vietnamese food, cracking the code might seem intimidating, but once you jump in and start tasting, it's hard to stop.
Pho (pronounced "fuh") is a good place to start, and most of the Vietnamese restaurants in the area offer it. Usually the soup features rice noodles, beef broth and beef; it can be topped with a wide variety of cuts. (There's also chicken pho with egg noodles.) Most pho houses offer some kind of super-combo (often No. 1 on menus), including slices of rare or raw beef, well-done flank and brisket, tendon, tripe and sometimes meatballs and more. If any of that is challenging, choose from a long lists of combos with different cuts. Bowls marked "medium" or "regular" are usually pretty big; "large" are often gigantic.
Order one, and it will come with a platter of herbs, lime wedges, sliced jalapeños and bean sprouts known as a rau song. Taste the broth first - it should be rich, beefy and aromatic. Then tear up some of the herbs and add them to the soup to taste, squeeze in some lime, drop in a handful of bean sprouts, add jalapeños if you dare. You can also squeeze in some thuong ot - the red chile sauce on every table. Or you can put some in one of those little saucers and dip pieces of meat in it as you go. Good luck finishing!
A good pre-pho starter is goi cuon, translated variously as summer rolls, spring rolls or salad rolls. They're stretchy rice paper wrappers filled with pork, shrimp, rice vermicelli, lettuce, chives or scallions and other herbs. Dip them in nuoc cham (fish sauce) or peanut sauce.
And when you're ready to branch out, don't worry. One thing the restaurants in this story all have in common is servers who are happy to explain the dishes. When language is a barrier (which is often the case), they'll grab another staffer who's more comfortable speaking English. Don't know what to do with that rau song (various dishes come with rau songs, with different combinations of lettuce and herbs) or that plate of what look like hard, translucent tortillas? If no one jumps in to explain, just ask - sometimes ingredients you wouldn't expect should be wrapped into lettuce leaves or rice paper. Once you show an adventurous spirit, many servers will be happy to suggest other specialties.
After months of dedicated wrapping and dipping and slurping, here's the best of what I found, in no particular order. As it happens, most are in and around Richardson and Garland. One note of caution: Vietnamese restaurants are often closed on an unexpected day of the week, frequently Wednesday, so do call ahead and check. Most are BYOB.
La Me
This stylish little cafe in a sprawling Asian mall wins the prize handily for the best banh mi sandwiches in town. I love the No. 1, with house-made pâté and cold cuts. And they're cheap: That one's $2.75. Check the blackboard for specials: La Me often offers an excellent bun cha Hanoi – grilled pork and pork patties in a light sauce with scallions. Drop some rice vermicelli and vegetables from the rau song (lettuce, Vietnamese herbs, mint, bean sprouts and sliced cucumber) into a bowl, then add some pork and sauce. Also delicious: com chien (fried rice) with shrimp, barbecue pork and Chinese sausage. For a sweet finish, treat yourself to a silky yogurt dessert.
9870 Walnut St. (at Audelia Road), Dallas. 972-669-8515. BYOB. Thursday-Tuesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (closed Wednesday).
Lemongrass Asian Bistro
Opened last year, this Deep Ellum restaurant is the least traditional of all the places included here; it's a good choice for the less adventurous. Chef Tuyet Davis isn't afraid of fusion, pairing Peking duck quesadillas with a bright, fresh Mexican salsa, for instance, to surprisingly good effect. I also loved the sugar-cane shrimp, pork fried rice and a tall, fluffy coconut cake. The attractive white-tablecloth dining room has more formal service than that offered at the other restaurants listed here, though it's plenty casual, plus a selection of beer and wine.
2711 Elm St., Dallas. 214-745-0001. www.lemongrassdallas.com. Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 5 to 10 p.m.
Nam Hua Vietnamese Cuisine
It's a family affair at this friendly dining room in Garland, where owner Hua Le turns out a spectacular seafood hot pot (lau do bien) and her daughter (and co-owner) Tina Pham explains the menu with aplomb. She'll explain how to eat the various dishes, too. Banh xeo, for instance, crêpes filled with mushrooms and shrimp, get wrapped in lettuce and dipped in sauce. Don't miss that hot pot, filled with bright, tangy, spicy-hot seafood broth, plus giant prawns, squid, mussels, fish, spongy luffa squash and more. Tear in some herbs from the rau song, add some bean sprouts, rice vermicelli, a squeeze of lime, an okra or three, and a handful of shredded banana flower. Let it cook for a minute, then ladle it into bowls. It's incredible.
3112 N. Jupiter Road (at Belt Line), Garland. 972-414-8638. BYOB. Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (closed Monday).
Pho Bang
The broth at this bare-bones place isn't as aromatic as it is at Pho Pasteur, but the meats are some of the best I've found in a bowl of noodles. It's hard to find places that serve the rare cuts very rare, but here they do – a diner at a nearby table when I last visited asked for his raw, on a separate plate. Dip the thin slices into the broth, and they cook a bit. The goi cuon are excellent, too. Service, however, can be a little chilly.
3565 W. Walnut St. (at Jupiter Road), Garland. 972-487-6666. No alcohol; diners may not BYOB. Sunday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday-Saturday.
Pho Pasteur
My favorite for all-around great pho, this clean and friendly Richardson spot scores with rich, herbal, star-anise-kissed broth and noodles that don't stick together. The goi cuon are springy (I like that they have chives, not scallions), the soda lemonade and fresh lemonade are deliciously tart, and the three-color che – an icy dessert with coconut, sweet beans, jelly and crushed peanuts – is the best around.
1342 E. Belt Line Road, Richardson. 972-680-0001. Second location at 1927 E. Belt Line Road, Carrollton. 972-680-0001. BYOB. Daily 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Saigon Block
One of the most memorable dinners I've had in Dallas lately was at this sleek, spacious restaurant in Richardson. Unable to decide between two of the house specialties – roasted whole catfish (ca dut lo) and seven courses of beef (bo bay mon), we ordered both. It was way too much food for the four of us, but it was outstanding. The fish (pictured on the Guide cover), smothered in fried shallots and chopped scallions, was wonderfully moist and perfectly cooked. Even better was the beef: a fantastic fondue; steamed meatballs called bo cha dum, big, tender and flavorful, with a nice peanuty crunch; bo cuon mo chai, sausages grilled over charcoal; a soothing, rich congee; and more. Tempuraed frog's legs with onion and garlic were also terrific, served with two kinds of salt.
2150 E. Arapaho Road, Richardson. 214-575-6400. www.saigonblock.com. BYOB. Monday-Thursday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Zander's House
Dinner at the Bui family's handsome 4-year-old restaurant in Plano tends toward the deliciously spicy, as the Buis come from central Vietnam. Start with a tangy, limy raw beef salad (bo tai chanh) redolent of ginger and basil. Or a fiery green papaya salad topped with crunchy fried anchovies (goi ca kho du du). Prefer something less hot? Go for the banh cuon, steamed rice crêpes filled with shrimp and wood-ear mushrooms and served with a lightly sweet fish sauce. (Appetizers here are generally irresistible.) Move on to a seafood dish, maybe shrimp and string beans in a velvety coconut curry sauce, or "shaking" beef (bo luc lac), in a suave sauce with onions and scallions. Service is terrifically warm and helpful, and the wine list offers a few interesting choices that work well with the food. For dessert, tapioca fans will love the warm, sweet taro pudding, studded with tiny tapioca pearls. The dining room, which has a full bar, wraps around an atrium-like stage that features live blues once or twice a week. Call ahead or check the Web site, as the restaurant sometimes closes for events.
2300 N. Central Expressway, Plano. 972-943-9199. www.zandershouse.com. Monday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m., Wednesday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday noon to 11 p.m., Sunday noon to 10 p.m. (Closed Tuesday.).

Omani Al Madina Insurance plans IPO in process to become Takaful operator
Omani insurer Al Madina Insurance Company is planning to float an initial public offering (IPO) in the fourth quarter of this year in an attempt to change its status to a Shari'ah-compliant Takaful firm.
The draft Omani Takaful regulation requires insurers to be public companies to function as Takaful providers. Abdlrehman Awadh Barham, chief executive officer of Al Madina Real Estate, a member firm of Al Madina group, told Times of Oman that the company's board has recently approved a proposal to float an issue.
He said the promoters will divest 40 per cent of their holding in the company. Al Madina Insurance has a capital base of OMR 10 million.
Barham said that Al Madina has received an 'in principle' approval from the Capital Market Authority for converting its status into an Islamic insurance firm and a final approval will be given only after the company lists its shares on the Muscat Securities Market (MSM).

Monday, Wednesday 10:30 - 11:50 am
|Robert Meagher
Course inquires into, considers, and compares several of the earliest images and ideas of woman, as found in ancient texts and artifacts. The aim will be to follow the story of woman in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East from its prehistoric roots to its fateful fruition in Greek myth and the Hebrew Bible. As the story of woman is inseparable from the story of man--Dumuzi, Epimetheus, Paris, Adam--his many names and faces will also be traced and considered.

Feminist Fictions
Wednesday, Friday 1:00-2:20 pm
|Lynne Hanley
Course explores what we can bring from our knowledge as readers to the act of creating fiction and how writing fiction might shape the way we approach women's narratives as readers. Discussion will focus on the representation of gender, sexuality, race and culture, the use of language and structure, and the relation of the acts of writing and reading to feminist theory and practice. Several classes will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of student work. Readings may include A Room of One's Own, Beloved, The Fifth Child, Autobiography of My Mother, Stone Butch Blues, Red Azalea, and selected short stories and critical essays. Students should expect to keep a journal, to write in a variety of genres (fiction, personal essay, biography, autobiography), and to attend a series of films on Wednesday evenings.

Third World, Second Sex: Does Economic Development Enrich or Impoverish
Women's Lives?
Tuesday, Thursday 10:30 - 11:50 am
|Laurie Nisonoff
What happens to women when societies "modernize" and industrialize their economies? Is capitalist economic development a step forward or a step backward for women in industrialized and developing countries? In this seminar we look at debates about how some trends in worldwide capitalist development affect women's status, roles, access to resources, and marital status, and locate the debates in historical context. In the "global assembly line" debate we look at women's changing work roles. We ask whether women workers in textile and electronics factories gain valuable skills, power and resources though these jobs, or whether they are super-exploited by multinational corporations. Other topics include whether population policies improve women's health and living standards or reinforce their subordination, the nature of women's work in the so-called "informal sector," and the impact of the current worldwide economic crisis. We will use journal articles, short fiction, videos, and The Women, Gender & Development Reader to explore these issues.

The Making of Modern Society
Wednesday, Friday 10:30-11:50 am
|Margaret Cerullo
Modern social theory was born in the context of two revolutions: the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. It sought to interpret the distinctiveness and the future of the modern Western societies that emerged from these great transformations. We will study how the classical social theorists, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, each understood the nature of modern social life, the sources of social cohesion and social change and the character of modern power and domination. We will also examine how each constructed modernity's others, as objects of both knowledge and power. Then we will read Simone de Beauvoir and W.E.B. Dubois, who address the position of women in society and the character of race relations. Students should emerge from this class with a basic understanding of a sociological perspective--a social conception of the self, ways of analyzing institutions and whole societies, an interest in large scale historical change, and a recognition that theory is a practice linked to power, that not only explains the world, but in so doing affects how people live their lives and orient themselves to it.

Can you recommend a midsize car or SUV with easy access for a shorter person to get in and out, power seats for shorter leg adjustment, yet a little higher clearance for traveling gravel/snow country roads and some highway, good gas mileage, quiet, $25,000 to $35,000 range?
You should check out a few offerings from Subaru for light-duty off-road and snow use: the 2010 Legacy sedan and 2010 Outback wagon. The Outback may be a stretch if you need easy entry because of its high ground clearance, so that's why we'd also suggest test-driving the Legacy.
The Legacy has all-wheel drive standard and will work well in gravel and snowy country roads. Being a sedan, ease of entry and exit isn't as much of an issue. Of the Legacy trim levels, you get power seats for $20,995 on the four-cylinder 2.5 Premium trim, not including a $695 destination charge. With automatic transmission, a $1,000 option, you're still well within your budget.
Automatic-equipped models of the Legacy and Outback are rated with higher gas mileage than their manual counterparts. The Legacy with automatic is 23/31 mpg city/highway, and the Outback is 22/29 mpg.

Kasha varnishkes is a Middle European dish of roasted buckwheat groats (kasha) and bow-tie noodles (varnishkes). Traditionally, a whole egg (in this recipe, just an egg white) is stirred into the kasha to coat the grains so they remain separate instead of cooking into a mush. Our version ups the flavor ante with lots of caramelized onions.
Makes 6 servings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as olive or canola oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 cup kasha (roasted buckwheat groats)
1 large egg white
2 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned
½ teaspoon salt

Jeff Buckley's Old Globe hello/goodbye
The singer-songwriter, who died in 1997, will be saluted Monday at Old Globe by top San Diego troubadours as prelude to Buckley/Shakespeare musical
Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert
Featuring:Eve Selis, Gayle Skidmore, Jeff Berkley, Veronica May, Superunloader, Stevie Harris, Israel Maldonado, Fernando Apodaca, Todd Hannigan, The Midnight Pine and Pete Thurston. Co-hosted by Cathryn Beeks and Chris Cantore.
When: 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 19
Where: Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park
Tickets: $20
Phone: (619) 234-5623
Jeff Buckley was only 30 when he died in 1997. His father, Tim Buckley, was only 28 at the time of his death in 1975. The two met just once, when Jeff was 8.
Both father and son were cult artists, embraced by a loyal, mostly underground following. Both sang in an ethereal voice and wrote songs that struck a strong chord with those who heard them. For a variety of reasons, both have had a greater posthumous musical impact than they did while living.
Jeff Buckley grew up largely in Orange County. He attended Anaheim's Loara High School, which also counts No Doubt's Gwen Stefani among its former students. His singing at times suggested what Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant sounded like in his more sensitive moments.
Jeff Buckley made his singing debut in 1991 in New York at the "Greetings from Tim Buckley" tribute concert. He performed "I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain," a song his father had written to Jeff and Jeff's mother. Jeff Buckley's 1994 debut album, "Grace," included his transcendent version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," which is better known to casual listeners than any of Buckley's own songs.
Jeff Buckley was only 30 when he drowned in the Mississippi River. In an eerie coincidence, Tim Buckley had recorded a song called "The River" (although it was a haunting love ballad, not a tale of looming doom). A version of "The River" was included on the 2006 tribute album "Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley," which featured such admirers as Sujan Stevens, The Magic Numbers and King Creosote. Following Jeff Buckley's 1997 death, U2 singer Bono hailed him by saying: "Jeff was a pure drop in an ocean of noise."
The musical legacy of Jeff Buckley will be celebrated by some of San Diego's top singer-songwriters Monday in a benefit concert for the Old Globe's Shakespeare programs. By coincidence, on Sept. 20 The Globe will stage the world premiere of "The Last Goodbye," which combines Buckley's music and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." Monday's concert should be an intriguing prelude.
If you'd like to compare Jeff and Tim Buckley's music, the two videos below will let you do exactly that:

The Playroom is a finely wrought drama about endings: the end of a specific period in recent American life, the end of childhood innocence and the end of a fractured marriage that has left its four young offspring huddled in an attic space to fantasize about escape. Modest in scale, it's the kind of American independent film that brings some honor to that shopworn descriptor.
The time period is the mid-1970s, an in-between zone marked by the tapering of free love and almost within earshot of the malaise later made famous in a Jimmy Carter speech. Donna and Martin Cantwell (fierce performances by Molly Parker and John Hawkes) live in a suburban bubble of drab colors, tall cocktails and caustic rejoinders. Their teen daughter Maggie (Olivia Harris), in a hurry to grow up and get out, is old enough to smell the domestic rot. Her younger siblings (Jonathon McClendon, Alexandra Doke and Ian Veteto) are getting there fast.
Comparisons to The Ice Storm are inevitable. There's no key party, but the drunken desperation, rage and excess on display between the Cantwells and the visiting Knotts couple (Jonathan Brooks and Lydia Mackay) carry a familiar rancor. That said, The Playroom is very much its own film, an intensely personal and creatively told tale with an emphasis on the collateral damage inflicted on youth.
The director is Dallas native Julia Dyer, the screenwriter her late sister, Gretchen Dyer. The Playroom boasts plenty more local talent, including cinematographer Russell Blair, who masterfully frames the thematically opposed worlds of experience and innocence. I don't give hometown upgrades, and I'm happy to say The Playroom, which played Dallas VideoFest last year, doesn't need one.
That doesn't mean it's perfect. The acting outside the two leads is uneven, especially in the more emotionally fraught moments. The narrative foreshadowing gets a little heavy-handed. But none of these flaws is close to being fatal. The tone is assured, as are the two lead performances: Parker, by turns ferocious and fragile, and Hawkes, as a pinched man who's been wronged but can't muster the pride to do much about it. The Playroom is no country for young people, much less their used-up elders.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by James Joyce
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Section.Paragraph). Within each chapter you will find unnumbered sections. These sections are separated by asterisks; in our citations, we've numbered these sections for simplicity's sake.
Quote #7
He knelt before the altar with his classmates, holding the altar cloth with them over a living rail of hands. His hands were trembling and his soul trembled as he heard the priest pass with the ciborium from communicant to communicant.
Corpus Domini nostri
Could it be? He knelt there sinless and timid; and he would hold upon his tongue the host and God would enter his purified body.
In vitam eternam. Amen
Another life! A life of grace and virtue and happiness! It was true. It was not a dream from which he would wake. The past was past.
Corpus Domini nostri.
The ciborium had come to him.
This is a deeply powerful depiction of the concept of "transubstantiation" – that is, the idea that the Communion wafer isn't just a metaphor for the body of Christ, but it really is in essence the body of Christ. At this moment, Stephen believes that this sacrament will save him from his past life. Look for a related scene in Chapter Five where Stephen draws again upon transubstantiation, this time as a metaphor for art (5.2.16; see "Spirituality").
Quote #8
His life seemed to have drawn near to eternity; every thought, word, and deed, every instance of consciousness could be made to revibrate radiantly in heaven; and at times his sense of such immediate repercussion was so lively that he seemed to feel his soul in devotion pressing like fingers the keyboard of a great cash register and to see the amount of his purchase start forth immediately in heaven, not as a number but as a frail column of incense or as a slender flower. (4.1.4)
This passage highlights the mechanical nature of religious practice, unbeknownst to Stephen. Thanks to Joyce's use of Free Indirect Discourse (see "Style" in our analysis section), we are allowed to see the ridiculousness of the image of the cash register, even though to Stephen, it is deadly serious.
Quote #9
– Then, said Cranly, you do not intend to become a protestant?
– I said that I had lost the faith, Stephen answered, but not that I had lost self-respect. What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent? (5.3.100)
Stephen still values Catholicism over other religious systems; he recognizes it as "an absurdity" but still holds it above Protestantism. At least Catholicism is a "logical" absurdity. This whole distinction seems a little absurd.

A bassline is musical notes and chords for a bass instrument that is put together in a song.
by Rockin' Ruler of Metallic Meyhem June 13, 2007
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
A walking, talking clarity issue. A member of a marching band (particularly the drum line) in which no note is ever clear, giving a sharp contrast to the percussive rhythms created by the snare and tenor line. 3-5 drums tuned to different notes and muffled, most often used in runs in which, while the rest of the band is playing, are heard 'below' the winds. Being described as 'off the chain' or 'sick' while in a bass line is commonplace, and should be treated as such.
The 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard bass line was 'off the chain.'

A Month later and still nothing... NOt Good at all. just he same old ( unplug everything and try)
NOT Good UBI - NOT Good
Ubisoft, Please release a fix patch as soon as possible. Please do not make light of Mac users.
Haven't read the whole topic, but have you guys tried reinstallung? I never use the mouse, always use the arrow keys... and everything works fine... iMac 27" 4GB Intel Core i5 3.1 Ghz...
But I read in the first page that arrow keys don't work either...
I think this happens if you're using a third party keyboard, if you use the normal apple or apple wireless keyboard like, there should be no problem?
Just My Two Cents:
The issue with my mouse and keyboard not working after the game launches successfully, which it always had, is simply that - a problem with my mouse and keyboard.
Both the mouse and keyboard are wireless Logitech brands. After removing the wireless receiver and plugging in a wired keyboard and mouse, all is fine. this is annoying, but something that shouldn't make people hostile. I do agree that the techs not figuring this out is lame, but I don't think that they don't care in general. Many dollars go into making a game and for people not to buy it because some disgruntled patrons *aren't happy isn't smart of them [Ubisoft]. I would like to think that we were the minority in these cases, and that all will eventually get solved.
On another note: Reading that the laptop components, although may work, are not supported I find that fascinating that people complain about the game not working on their laptop. That's just plain silly. Those requirements are there for a reason.
Take Care And Happy Gaming
Simon Bishop [Problem Solver] - On Steam.
even with original wired apple keyboard and mouse of my iMac 27 I can't play the game. It's unbelievable that there is no sign of support from ubisoft. How do they even dare selling this game for mac when they know about this issue for more then a month? I'll wait another 2 days and then start a complaint with paypal for refund.
And If you don't think they don't care... get a reality check... no proper testing before launch of the game, no communication on the issue... no fix for 1 month... THAT'S MY TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF NOT CARING.
You really are a comedian...Take Care And Happy Gaming
Simon Bishop [Problem Solver] - On Steam.
I find it unacceptable that we still have no news regarding this issue. So disrespectful. I'm sick of it and will fill a claim with paypal! This was the last game I bought from Ubisoft...
Let me just say this before this forum gets bogged down with opinions.
People posted here originally because when the game came out, they purchased it and installed it and couldn't play it. Bottom line, simple as that.
This was a place to discuss possible remedies and solutions to the problems across various MACS that couldn't play or control the game.
In the end, UBI hasn't done anything but post requirements ands say they are working on it. Thanks uBI for that bit of informative information.
Meanwhile, Console gamers are enjoying their money's worth of the game, PC gamers are also enjoying their moneys worth of the game.
MAC users are left stranded with minimal support.
Solutions like read the requirements, unplug everything, that doesn't work with our game, we didn't support that. All are lame excuses when our money has been deposited.
I for one am upset that PC gamers can use peripherals and in a port, MAC suffers. Im also upset that I have to unplug disk drives, tablets, mice and whatever else. Maybe I should turn off my wifi .. I mean really.
Beta testing means attempting to find a break in code on as many devices and in as many situations as possible that replicates your target audience.
In this case it is apparent that all systems checks went into console and PC testing and little to none in MAC.
If I didn't think it was a violation, I would code controller support for me own version and remedy the device problems in a patch and deliver to whomever wanted to enjoy their game.
Something UBI should have done weeks ago.
As it stands they don't care.
So I am signing out of this forum and I am uninstalling the game and I wipe my hands clean of this and any other UBI titles.
Good riddance !!!
I filled a claim for refund since there is no sign, that ubisoft cares for its costumers

NEW DELHI: In a reprieve to the power generation companies, the Supreme Court has ruled that the advance against depreciation (AAD) collected by way of tariff to mobilise additional cash by such companies is not income for the purpose of determination of their net profit. AAD is not a 'reserve' as the power generation companies are under an obligation right from the collection of such amount to adjust it in future, said apex court setting aside order of Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR).
The issue before the apex court was how to account for such an advance. As a natural corollary, two issues were raised. First, whether the generaing companies which supplied electricity a the tariff rate notified by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and recovered the sale price which includes AAD, could be treated as income for the purpose of determination of net profit. Second, whether AAD could be treated as a 'reserve'.

The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
The Monster in the Lake
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The morning of the kite-fighting tournament, Hassan tells Amir about a dream he had: The two of them at Ghargha Lake. However, no one's in the water because apparently there's a monster in there. In Hassan's dream, Amir jumps into the water anyway and Hassan follows. They swim out into the middle of the lake and the people on the shore cheer. The lake is renamed "Lake of Amir and Hassan, Sultans of Kabul." So what does Hassan's dream mean?
It's possible Hassan made up the dream. Amir is very nervous on the morning of the tournament. Hassan could be trying to comfort him through this story. Don't worry, Hassan is saying, a monster isn't waiting for you out in the streets of Kabul. Hassan's truthfulness probably isn't worth too much consideration.
Another fact, however, is worth quite a bit of consideration: later that day, Assef rapes Hassan in the streets of Kabul while Amir stands by and watches. Does this mean Amir is the monster in the lake and that Hassan is horribly wrong? Is Amir's jealousy of Hassan the monster? Or is Assef the monster? Much like the people on the shore, Baba and Rahim Khan cheer for Amir when he wins the kite tournament. Does this mean Baba and Rahim Khan are oblivious of the monster?
This is a complicated little dream. There's probably no one way to interpret it. We can't even say for sure if Hassan is wrong about the monster. If Amir redeems himself later in the novel and overcomes his past, doesn't that mean he and Hassan scare away the monster? That Amir gets rid of the monster inside himself? We can say one thing for sure: even Shmoop's Department of Parapsychology and Dreams had a tough time with this one.

The "narrative" of Ferguson, Missouri changed somewhat today. But, amid the confusion, the blundering stupidity of the city's police department remains consistent.
Mark Steyn takes a look at the big picture regarding America's militarized, trigger-happy police culture.
BTW, back when I was a fire-breathing New Left (commmie) radical during the Sixties, our strategy was to force the state to become so repressive it would foment rebellion against it.
I wonder if any of those sorts of leftists are still around?

Waukegans ethnic diversity and strong urban center make the town an exciting place to live. Its children are served by the Waukegan Public School District from pre-school through high school.
Tour your neighborhood choices carefully; there are urban apartments with arts and sports facilities easily walkable, and suburban enclaves with plenty of green space, all within the citys borders. So the question becomes, do you want walk to drive?
Although rental vacancies are relatively available in some parts of town, in others, rental finds will be take more time. Youll want to start looking for rentals several months before you move - after all, demand for a renovated, stimulating urban center, access to lakes and beaches, and a year round commitment to the arts, remains steady.
To find properties in your price range and decide on a neighborhood, drive through the various communities and identify which locations suit you best--kind of like a test run before you buy. Then, its always a good idea to call rental properties, discover both cost and availability in your selected area. Be sure to look at the many different advantages of various property types: you may find apartments or town houses with paid utilities, or you may prefer properties with more land around them. Waukegan offers a host of choices for the savvy renter, and a range of options that will suit wallets of all ages and sizes!
City Center: Urban and dense, with excellent proximity to arts and entertainment, this area is comprised of small apartment complexes, apartment homes, and holds some all utilities paid apartments, too. Many properties are historic, built prior to 1939. Others span construction years up to 1969. In your apartment search, youll find a solid lower middle income neighborhood with many residents employed in manufacturing. If you like classic buildings, loft space, and city life, this is a neighborhood youll enjoy. More singles reside here than in other parts of the city. $
N Sheridan Rd/Grand Ave: This neighborhood, while less dense than the city center, is also urban and fairly compact. Here youll find apartment complexes, high rise apartments, and many renters. Like the city center neighborhood, many units are historic. Residents heritage skews Hispanic in this neighborhood. Housing stock ranges from small apartment complexes to apartment homes. $
Frontage Rd/Old Skokie Rd: Located away from the city center, the population is still dense even on these tree lined streets. A mix of owners and renters reside in newer properties built after 1970 to the present. Real estate here is in high demand - look early to find the apartment home you want. Youll find some residents of Asian heritage in this middle income community. Local cafes serve up Cambodian cuisine, a tasty treat no matter which neighborhood you select to live in. $$
N Delaney Rd/Oak Grove Ave: In this upper middle income neighborhood, youll find an affluent, diverse community, many employed in professional or sales occupations. Newer single family homes, townhomes, and apartment complexes make up the housing stock here. German, Mexican, Irish, and Italian residents provide a family oriented social melting pot, yum. Streets and laws are broader here, and most residents commute to work. $$$
Waukegan is an arty town. Every third Saturday, downtown Waukegan hosts an ArtWauk, highlighting paintings and sculptures as well as live theater, music, and performance art. The yearly Fiestas Patrias Parade and Festival is also held downtown. Celebrating Hispanic cultures and countries such as Mexico, Belize, and Honduras, this festival is popular with Waukegan residents, many of whom in the downtown area share this heritage. Come winter time, crafty art makers are out full tilt, offering holiday gifts at the annual HolidayWauk.Put on your beret and take a stroll downtown.
The urban core is alive with theater, music, restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping options, all walkable - but with a town named Waukegan, what would you expect? The Waukegan History Museum and the Lake County Sports Center are also located here. Also downtown is the historic Waukegan Public Library, housing over 205,000 books, and selected this year as one of ten National Medal for Museum and Library service recipients, the nations highest honor--this is every bookworms haven. Literature strikes again as another famous resident, sci-fi genius Ray Bradbury was born in Waukegan, and set many of his stories here, renaming the town Green Town.
And downtown gets more exciting every year--impossible, right? There are plans in the works for new retail and restaurants in the downtown area, and the type of development than encourages walking, and community mixed use. These plans signal a commitment to the vitality and diversity throughout this lakefront city town. And you cant beat the area for its rich ethnic diversity, with residents tracing their ancestry to Mexico, Poland, Ireland, Italy, and Asia.
Looking for some outdoor recreation? You wont have to go far. Waukegans lake front offers not one but two sandy beaches, volleyball courts, and soccer fields. Also along the lake: The Steiner Pavilion band shell, hosting concerts every summer with Lake Michigan as a backdrop to its comfortable lawn seating.
Music not your thing? Take a sail at Waukegan Harbor, which sports new floating docks, and the Waukegan Yacht Club. And if youd rather stay on land, a walking pier stretches spectacularly half a mile into Lake Michigan itself. A lighthouse, built at the turn of the century, resides on the far end. All that exercise get you hungry? Waukegan residents swear by Dockside Dogs, and for desert, Dockside Ice Cream.
Famous 1950's and 60's era comedian Jack Benny claimed Waukegan as his hometown on radio and television. Although he was actually born in Chicago, he spent his formative years in town, and a Waukegan middle school is named in his honor, and a statue stands outside the Genesee Theater, dedicated to him. In addition, the Jack Benny Center for the Arts houses the Waukegan Park Districts Cultural Arts Division, offering fine arts instruction for music and theater.

BMW Bumps Efficiency of Turbo Six Cylinder Engines
- Jan 29, 2010 5:05 PM EST
- [num] Comments
The internal combustion engine isn't dead yet--witness the 31 to 32 mpg average of the Honda Fit and Mini Cooper, two cars that fall squarely in the "fun to drive" category.
BMW is attempting to doing the same for its (much more powerful) six-cylinder engines. The company announced Thursday that much of its 2011 line-up will contain new single twin-scroll turbo inline six-cylinder engines. These are good for the same 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft torque as before, but with a seven percent bump in fuel efficiency. Prices remain unchanged for 2011 across the lineup.
This is another step in a strong recent trend to eke better mileage out of conventional gas-powered cars using more sophisticated designs. First we saw it with six-speed automatics and direct injection; now we're seeing it in other areas as well. I'm still hoping for more stop-start systems, since idling is responsible for much of the CO2 emissions along with reduced fuel efficiency.

Acting Police Commissioner Ian Stewart today acknowledged the sentencing of a former police officer on multiple assault charges.
Acting Commissioner Stewart said that while it was a difficult chapter in Queensland Police history, the QPS handling of the matter proved that there was no place in the QPS for such conduct. He said there was clear public interest in the release of the vision.
"As soon as this matter came to light the QPS acted swiftly to not only remove the then officer from duty, but to fully investigate the assaults and lay criminal charges," Acting Commissioner Stewart said.
"Disciplinary matters are ongoing in relation to other officers stationed at the Whitsundays at the time of the assaults.
"Five officers have resigned since the investigation commenced.
"The junior officer who reported the matter has been fully supported by the Service.
"Behaviour of the sort seen in this sorry case is not tolerated in the QPS, and officers have a clear obligation to behave professionally, ethically and with the highest integrity.
"Again, let me express our apologies to both the victims of the assaults, and to the general public.
"It is deeply regrettable this officer did not live up to the high standards we set for ourselves," Acting Commissioner Stewart said.

Looking for Lubo
Wednesday, 12.14.2011 / 12:30 PM PT
|"I'm ready," Visnovsky said. We are too.
Lubomir Visnovsky has missed more than a month after suffering a broken finger on his right hand November 11, as the already-struggling Ducks went 2-9-2 in his absence. Visnovsky appears set to make his return tonight when Anaheim takes on the visiting Coyotes here at Honda Center.
Visnovsky said "I'm ready" after today's morning skate that followed two lengthy practice sessions to begin the week. Bruce Boudreau indicated Visnovsky's would be a game-time decision, but if he is good to play, Boudreau said he won't dip the defenseman's toe in the water.
"If he's ready to play, I anticipate him to be as good as he can be," Boudreau said. "I'm one of those guys [where] I don't believe in guys giving an excuse already made for themselves like 'Well, I haven't played in a while or it's going to take time to get ready.'
"If you're ready to play in the National Hockey League, you better be ready to play. I expect him to be as good as he's been."
Visnovsky played more than 23 minutes a night before the injury, and his absence has meant other Ds like Cam Fowler have had to pick up the slack by playing more than they're used to.
Ryan Getzlaf will be in the lineup tonight after missing yesterday's practice with the stomach flu, but Saku Koivu will be out for the second straight game with what is still being called a lower-body injury.
That means that newly acquired center Rod Pelley will be in there, after spending one practice and today's skate with the Ducks after being acquired from New Jersey with defenseman Mark Fraser.
The Ducks are also looking for sparks from bringing in the two new dudes, as mentioned by Nate Guenin yesterday. Guenin is close friends with Pelley, having played with him four years at Ohio State. He said of Monday's trade, "One, he's one of my best buddies so that's awesome. Two, I know the type of player he is and the mentality and the positive energy that he'll bring to the room. We're struggling here and he brings some new life.
"I'm sure it'll take no time at all for everybody to see what type of guy he is and the character he has."
Said Pelley, who played seven games for NJ this year, "It's exciting. It's a new challenge.I think challenges only make you better. I'm really excited to get going."
Jonas Hiller will be in net tonight, according to Boudreau, after sitting out the Nashville game last Saturday. In net for the Coyotes will be Ducks-killer Mike Smith, who is 5-0-1 with a 2.00 goals-against average in his career vs. Anaheim. Those are much better numbers than what Smith has put up lately, having gone 1-3-0 with a 5.61 GAA in his last four starts, having gotten pulled in two of those.
His Coyotes team is struggling on the power play, with numbers I won't even mention hear for fear of jinxing. I'm also hesitant to mention the Coyotes have lost two in a row (getting outscored 9-3) and four of their last six. They've also beaten the Ducks in each of their last five meetings.
Anaheim comes into this game having endured two straight practices for the first time in the now-two-week-old Boudreau era.
"I thought they practiced real hard [Monday]," Boudreau said. "They were pretty energetic today. As a coach, you always want to practice."
(Certainly, Boudreau was speaking more for the coaches than the players on that one.)
"The more practice time we have at this stage, the better it is."
The Ducks badly need this one tonight, as this is their last appearance at home before hopping on a five-game trip through the day after Christmas.
Looking at that, and the Ducks' need to turn things around pretty much immediately, Boudreau had a nice pop culture reference yesterday.
"I know what we need to do and it's easier said than done, but right now we need a 10-game winning streak or to win 15 out of 20," he said. "If we do that, we're back in the hunt. It's not easy to do in this division and with the amount of road games we play in a row, but we're getting Visnovsky back and then Koivu and Jason Blake -- then the team all of a sudden has balance.
"I've seen 'Moneyball,' so I know even the A's were a last-place team that won 20 in a row. It can happen."
I like Paul Rudd to play me in the movie.

If you have HBO, make sure you set your DVR tonight (you'll be watching the Ducks game when it first airs tonight at 7 Pacific) for "24/7 Flyers Rangers: Road To the NHL Winter Classic." If it's even remotely close to last year's series involving the Capitals and Penguins, it should be outstanding viewing. You can check out a preview here. (Here's hoping for plenty of Bryz time on this year's show.)
I talked briefly to Boudreau yesterday about his now-famous involvement in last year's version, when he was coaching the Caps, and he had this to say:
"That was a great experience. To be quite honest, it was rough the first week because we lost eight in a row and we had never lost more than three in a row before. None of us could understand what the heck was going on. We only lost one of those games by more than one goal and in all eight games, we had over 40 shots. The night before we broke it, we outshot Boston 27-3 in the third and we couldn't score. We just knew, This has gotta change.
"That experience in the end, just being at the Winter Classic, I really wish every hockey player had the chance to do that. It's an experience I'll never forget."

Alibaba Files for an IPO: Why You Should Care
The Chinese technology company Alibaba filed in the U.S. today for its initial public offering. What is Alibaba, you may be asking if you're not Chinese or an obsessive reader of tech blogs? It's an e-commerce company, a mix of Amazon, EBay, and PayPal. There's Tmall, an online shopping mall; Taobao, a marketplace where small Chinese companies can sell directly to consumers; and Alipay, a digital payments company that Chinese consumers use through their mobile phones for all sorts of transactions, on Alibaba sites or off.
And why is this a big deal? Because Alibaba does huge business, and therefore is going to be worth a lot of money. Last year, Alibaba sold $248 billion in goods—everything from frozen fish fillets to Nike sneakers to used jetliners. In one day last year, it saw $5.8 billion in transactions. Alipay was used in payments worth $519 billion. Alibaba is the biggest e-commerce site in the world's fastest-growing economy, one where many inhabitants aren't even online yet. Because it functions largely as a marketplace, Alibaba's operating costs are relatively low, and that, along with its very low taxes, means it enjoys profit margins of 45 percent.
Analyst estimates for the company's post-IPO value range from $136 billion to $245 billion. If it's anywhere but at the bottom of that range, that means the company will be more valuable than Facebook.
Big winners from the sale will include Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who owns 8.9 percent of the company, Russian entrepreneur and investor Yuri Milner, and the American private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.
Yahoo! owns 22.6 percent of Alibaba, a fact that has been one of the few things bolstering its stock price. It will sell off a little less than half of that stake in the offering, for what is estimated to be at least $10 billion, and there's already speculation about what the company will do with it: go on a buying spree of smaller companies? Buy back shares?
One of the questions analysts asked in the days leading up to the IPO filing was how much Alibaba would look to expand beyond China. In its prospectus the company seems to keep its focus at home. The company points out that China has far less retail space per capita than the U.S. and wealthy European countries—0.6 square meters per person, compared with 2.6 square meters per person in the U.S.—while at the same time online shopping still makes up only 7.9 percent of Chinese consumption. And consumption in China in 2013 made up only 36.5 percent of gross domestic product, as compared with 66.8 percent in the U.S. China, it seems, has only begun to shop.

Local food truck headed to Tampa for world record bid
SEBRING -Charles and Evelyn Butcher are taking their gator bites to a Tampa food truck rally that's trying to make history. Sort of. The Loafin Around Cafe food truck, which the Butchers own, is expected to be one of around 100 trucks, trying to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest food truck rally Aug. 31 at the Florida State Fairgrounds, organizers say. Earlier this year, 62 food trucks set the record at Magic City Casino in Miami. That's the record the Butchers are hoping to help break.Jeremy Gomez, who operates Generation Food Truck in Tampa, formed Skypunch Entertainment with Michael Lynch of the mobile site Truckspotting.com and Tampa blogger Carlos Hernandez of the food review site CarlosEats.com to pull off the event, the Tampa Tribune reported in July. When Charles and Evelyn Butcher heard about it, they knew they had to be a part and try to get their names in the record book. Since 100 food trucks are expected, the Butchers have pared down their usual menu and will be serving only gator bites and pork bites. Evelyn Butcher doesn't know what to expect. Initial reports that 3,000 to 4,000 people were expected to attend has now ballooned to more than 10,000 people, she said. "Nobody is expecting to make any money," she said. It's the adventure and the chance of being in the record books that has drawn her and her husband to the event. Twenty bands also are expected to play, she said, at the shindig set from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. that Saturday. Highlands County residents may have been the Loafin Around Cafe food truck parked outside Lowe's in Sebring. Evelyn Butcher said there's is the only food truck in the county, and because of that, it's been a little hard for some people to understand the concept of a mobile food kitchen, but word's getting around and they are having repeat customers, such as Steve Sowers, who works at Lowe's and finds the food truck convenient. After months of moving from one spot to another, the Butchers decided to set shop in one spot around April and are open everyday at the Lowe's parking lot from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. "We decided to stop loafing around the county," Evelyn Butcher grinned.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Today the United States Attorney's Office announced the indictment of 11 Western Slope residents. Federal officials believe the 11 are members or associates of the La Familia Drug Trafficking Organization.
The defendants are charged with conspiracy, possession with intent to distribute and the distribution of cocaine.
Of the 11, only six have been charged. Five remain at large.
The arrests stem from a nation-wide operation known as "Coronado" which is aimed at the takedown of La Familia Cartel members across the United States.

Kenyon Martin has been unable to find work this season after becoming a free agent at the end of last year. He is healthy, but his production has dropped off the table. Last season, Martin only averaged 22.4 minutes per game with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, the New York Knicks are in need of a big man with Rasheed Wallace injured.
Wallace suffered a stress reaction in his foot and has missed the team's last 12 games. There is no set timetable for his return, so New York is looking at possible outside options. This includes Kenyon Martin. According to Marc Spears and Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Martin may be willing to accept a 10-day contract and try to prove himself with the Knicks.
Martin's production has steadily decreased since the 2007 season. Last year, he averaged 5.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. In his career, Martin has averaged 13.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He was once one of the more imposing big men in the game. Martin was expected to be the number one overall pick out of college until he broke his leg just prior to the start of the NCAA Tournament in 2000.
Martin's production may that be that great, but he would be able to provide the Knicks with an additional inside presence. They are lacking that now with Wallace's injury. Tyson Chandler has picked up some of the slack, but he could use some help. Martin may be able to provide that help.
