It had been rumoured that the 35-year-old forward would be joining Tuscan rivals Siena, but Fiorentina officials made a late swoop for their former player, who has signed a one-year deal.
"ACF Fiorentina have acquired the rights of Luca Toni. He returns to Fiorentina after five years," the club said.
Vincenzo Montella's side were in the market for a striker after missing out on Bulgaria international Dimitar Berbatov, who looked set to join the club on Wednesday before backing out at the last minute.
Toni became the first person in almost half a century to score more than 30 Serie A goals when he netted 31 during the 2005-2006 season.
During his two years at the Tuscan club, he scored 47 times in 67 league games.
Toni returns to Serie A as a free agent after leaving Dubai club Al Nasr at the end of the last UAE Football League season.
Fiorentina play Al Nasr in a friendly on September 7 in Florence.

Game Jam Spotlight: Pizza Posse Fractions Game
Fractions Are Fun, Any Way You Slice It
By Jennifer Jordan
When your game jam team includes a member of your target audience, it's very easy to get immediate and relevant feedback about your game idea. Such was the case for team Pizza Posse, a diverse group in age and background that worked together seamlessly to develop a concept around gaming and fractions.
Joe Casente is a 6th grade student and member of team Pizza Posse. His inside knowledge made him the perfect choice for Creative Director. During the domain analysis phase it was he who targeted fractions as being a difficult subject to master in school. He noted this concept is generally taught to 3rd grade students, but is something many students continue to struggle with in later grades. Based on this insight the team decided to create a game that teaches fractions, and they used a mode that no 3rd grader (or 6th grader) can resist – pizza!
Since education transformation was a critical piece to this particular game jam, every game created must align with a learning objective based on the common core standards used in public schools. Pizza Posse's game incorporates third grade standards for fractions found in the CCSS Math Content 3 NFA 1, 2, 3.
During the prototyping phase the team decided how their pizza game would actually work. Rather than make small, personal sized pizza kits, the team opted to create a giant floor pizza similar in style to a Twister floor mat. The large size promotes kinesthetic play, getting students up and moving around the pizza. Popsicle sticks taped together divide the pizza into slices, and toppings are physical objects that students manipulate and scatter along the top. Recipe cards provide topping combinations that students arrange creating portions that represent the concept of fractions. One very eclectic pizza combination is aptly named the King Kong Krazy pizza, combining ground beef, banana slices, gummy worms, and even sky scrapers as toppings. Delicious? Probably not. But wacky and engaging? Definitely!
During game testing the team flushed out potential problems. They realized they needed a tiered level system that grows in difficulty. Level 1 is titled Simple Slices and practices easier to master fractions like halves and thirds. Level 2 is called Meaty Yummy and includes harder fractions like eighths. The hardest level is Level 3 and is where we find the now famous King Kong Krazy pizza. These levels serve as an assessment for students' progress throughout gameplay and include relevant problems to solve, such as what happens when you realize one of your friends is a vegetarian?!
The learning objective goes beyond fractions, too. The core concept is breaking whole numbers into pieces and understanding the relationship between those pieces, so this game applies to ratios, decimals, and percentages as well.
Pizza Posse went all out when it came to branding and product extensions. Their follow-up activities integrate nutritional concepts through assembling and cooking real pizzas, as well as physical education by making the game an outdoor race. They also integrate community outreach ideas by targeting local business, such as pizza parlors, where students explore a working business model and make real world connections.
Game Jam judges recognized that this game has curriculum relevancy, student interest, and is fast to market. They were impressed with the level of thought in all phases of the process, and loved how well the group worked together to create a fast and fun final product.
Pizza Posse, we are so happy to have had your company and creativity at our Stanford Game Jam. Keep us up to date on your progress, game testing, and next steps!
Special Thanks to IDEO, Epicenter, Prezi, Google, Pearson, Stanford d.School, Leticia Britos Cavagnaro, and Laurie Moore.

Tampering with tradition is dangerous business. Leave off a traditional Jell-O salad or that tureen of canned cream corn and someone in the room will complain. Count on it.
The way to shut up the naggers is to offer awesome alternatives. Subvert tired ingredient traditions -- who's going to whine about not getting pecan pie when you've dropped Hazelnut Maple Pie on them?
Give your guests dishes that will provoke demands for repeat performances, and you're well along the way to establishing new must-have ingredients for Thanksgiving.
Here's four suggestions:
Pancetta. Cured pork belly that offers more flavor without bacon's dominating smokiness.
In a skillet, diced pancetta transforms into savory nuggets that'll help make a heap of salad disappear. It's prized in stuffings too.
Give the cucumber salad a rest this time around. Here, pancetta anchors a celery root and apple salad, a crisp, tangy palate cleanser of a dish. Or, replace the bacon lardons in your sauteed Brussels sprouts with pancetta, with a splash of basalmic vinegar.
Hazelnuts. Almonds are so mild that they border on outright blandness, offering little more than crunch, but hazelnuts offer a more distinctive flavor once they're baked.
Here, paired with Grade B maple syrup, they make a dessert that'll give pecan pie an inferiority complex. Consider toasting some chopped hazelnuts and using them to replace the almonds atop your green beans. Sprinkle them across bowls of your curried cream of squash soup.
Balsamic vinegar. Adds flavor to steamed and roasted vegetables without piling on the calories.
Save the sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows for Christmas if you have to. Here, we're glazing roasted acorn squash with a balsamic-honey mixture with thyme. Reduced balsamic vinegar and chicken stock, sweetened with a bit of honey, maple syrup or brown sugar, makes a distinctive alternative to gravy.
Vanilla ice cream. Popular weekday dessert serves as foundation for other pleasures. Use it instead of cream for your traditional eggnog.
Here, it serves as the base to the locally renowned John's Flaming Hearth Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie, the "pumpkin pie for people who don't like pumpkin pie."
The recipe takes a quart or less, so there'll be leftovers -- the easiest leftovers ever. Why not drizzle with some of that homemade caramel syrup from the pie, and a few toasted hazelnuts?
>Celery, Pancetta & Apple Salad
4 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4 -inch dice (have pancetta sliced 1/4 -inch thick at purchase)
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound celery root (celeriac), trimmed and peeled
4 tender inner celery ribs, sliced paper-thin
1/4 cup slivered celery leaves
1 crisp apple, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup water
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, preferably Chianti
4 tablespoons sparkling water
Salt and pepper
Combine pancetta with 2 tablespoons oil in small skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta has rendered its fat and crisped, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In small bowl, mix water and lemon juice or cider vinegar. Submerge apple slices in liquid so they don't brown.
Coarsely grate celery root into a large bowl with box grater. Add sliced celery and leaves.
In a medium bowl, mix vinegar and sparkling water. Whisk in 4 tablespoons oil, drizzled in thin stream.
Drain apple slices and add to salad. Add about half of vinaigrette and toss gently.
Season with salt and pepper. Add pancetta and oil from pan and toss again. Serve immediately.
Source: inspired by Mario Batali's "Molto Gusto."
>John's Flaming Hearth Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie
1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon (or 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice)
1 cup heavy cream
1 baked 9-inch pie shell
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream for garnish
Spread about 1 inch of ice cream in cooled pie shell. (If your pie plate isn't deep, you'll use less than a quart. Leave room for the filling.) Place in freezer to harden.
Blend pumpkin, sugar and spices. Whip cream until stiff and fold into pumpkin mixture. Spoon into frozen pie shell over the ice cream. Return to freezer until ready to use.
Meanwhile, make syrup by combining corn syrup, hot water and brown sugar in small saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer until it thickens, and bubbles get bigger, 8-10 minutes.
If desired, when serving, cover with additional whipped cream. Drizzle syrup abundantly, and serve.
>Maple Hazelnut Pie
3/4 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 -inch cubes
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 15-ounce package)
1 large egg white, lightly beaten to loosen
1 cup hazelnuts, husked, coarsely chopped (about 5 ounces)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bring maple syrup, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue boiling 1 minute, reducing heat as needed to prevent mixture from boiling over. Remove pan from heat. Add bourbon, then butter; whisk until butter melts. Let cool to lukewarm, whisking occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Unroll pie crust. Line dish with crust. Crimp edges decoratively. Brush crust with enough egg white to coat. Scatter hazelnuts over. Whisk eggs and vanilla extract in medium bowl until blended. Whisk cooled maple-sugar mixture into egg mixture. Pour mixture over hazelnuts in crust. Bake pie until filling is set and slightly puffed, about 50 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
DO AHEAD: Best if made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep at room temperature.

>Balsamic Roasted Acorn Squash with Thyme
2 acorn squash, about 4 pounds total
8 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut each squash in half and scrape out seeds. With 1 tablespoon oil, coat squash, inside and out, and place on baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey and 2 tablespoons oil. Divide vinegar mixture between squash halves, brushing it over cut surfaces. Let the rest stay in the bottom of the squashes, and add 2 sprigs thyme to each.
Season with salt and pepper, and put squash in oven. Baste inside of squash and cut surfaces with liquid in squash every 15 minutes. Roast until tender, starting to caramelize and easily pierced with knife, 60 to 75 minutes.
Cut squash into wedges, add salt, pepper and more balsamic as necessary, and serve.

From the noises the club is making today it does not look likely he'll leave Ron. But I do agree with you 100% that the boy needs some help. Actually that is why I hope he stays, because I think, while there is no way I or anyone can or should defend what he did yesterday, I think the club should try to help him.

New apartment, new stuff, new thinking
A big empty room I can practically do anything I want in. This might have been your initial thought upon walking into your first apartment, it certainly was in my case. Granted my first real apartment was a studio in Van Nuys, CA with barely enough room for a desk, bookcase, and bed, but nonetheless, it was a big empty room I could practically do anything I wanted in. I wasted no time mapping out a plan.
For the newly minted bachelor with a little bit of income to their name, putting together your first living space will be an exciting task. Not only is it a space you get to make your own but you'll also end up taking some pleasure in seeking out and acquiring your brand new digs. Who doesn't like buying new stuff, especially when it's something you actually need, and thanks to places like IKEA, it's even less of a hassle and expense to go out and furnish a new apartment these days.
I happen to like IKEA a lot, their furniture is sturdy enough, it's inexpensive, it's attractive looking, endlessly hackable (an important feature for a guy like me), and indeed has some character to it. Maybe not the kind of character you want to feature throughout your entire apartment (lest you enjoy the feeling of living in a catalog page) but getting some essentials from IKEA isn't a terrible place to start with your first apartment.
Over time, and with a few back and forth trips to the store, I had built up a respectable collection of brand new, stylish, and affordable home furnishings in my new living space. A table to serve meals on, a desk to handle work at, a bureau to keep all my clothes in, a comfortable chair to relax and read in, a rug that really tied the room together, and though it was a small assortment of things, I felt proud of my consumerist accomplishments. And looking back on it, this was maybe the worst possible way ever to have furnished my little apartment.
For you see, my experience as a first time renter wanting to deck out a comfortable apartment was not a unique one, and thanks to the ingenuity of a place like IKEA, thousands of people go through these motions every day, picking out new bed frames, sofas, and kitchen cabinets for their residences. At some point, these hundreds of thousands of proud IKEA customers will be looking to shed their lightly used MALM desks and TARVA nightstands in favor of something more refined and expensive. Either they move or they downsize or they divorce or they give away all their worldly possessions in the name of some spiritual journey they've just begun, but you never quite realize how easy and cheap it can be to buy IKEA furniture (or most other home goods for that matter) on the second-hand market until it comes time to sell off your first apartment's worth of stuff.
In addition, due to IKEA's relative inexpensiveness and sheer ubiquity, it's a buyers market for something like a used EXPEDIT bookcase or RANDERUP rug. While this is fantastic news for someone shopping for new furniture, this also means that you'll be selling your lightly used IKEA goods at just a fraction of what you purchased them for new (something I had never even considered until it was too late). This might not be terrible news considering IKEA and the like are "starter" furnishings which you'll probably tire of at some point in your life, but what if you could furnish your entire house in decent quality second-hand furniture (IKEA and beyond) for about the cost of buying a nice new dining room set from Ethan Allen? This is a question I've been thinking about a lot lately.
Not only is is possible to do something like this thanks to websites like Craigslist and thrift stores like Goodwill but it's a consumer philosophy I will be holding myself to when I move into my next apartment in only a few short weeks. The plan is this: start out with mostly nothing (maybe an air mattress and a couple of books) and build up a reasonable collection of furnishings and other home accessories according to my immediate needs. Everything I can reasonably purchase will be purchased from a second-hand source (or possibly built by hand) and these purchases will be tracked to see just how much money I'm spending. It's quite possible I'll be able to piece together a comfortable living space from the recycled stuff of those in my neighborhood. It's also quite possible that I'll end up with tacky junk only a local Goodwill could offer, or even more so, that the expense of buying everything second-hand will only save me a marginal amount of money, being more trouble than it was actually worth.
Whatever the outcome I'll be sure to share my observations and experiences throughout the process, not to mention a few articles I have in mind which will cover other aspects of a personal finance philosophy I've been experimenting with the last year or so, ways to get more for your money without having to settle for less. I also want to break apart some of the ideas which have had embedded into us as modern consumers and how the culture around us has played a role in shaping many of these opinions and perceptions.

Amazon.com Review
Hrdy's passion for this material is evident, and she is deeply aware of the personal stake she has here as a woman, a mother, and a professional. This highly accomplished author relies on her own extensive research background as well as the works of others in multiple disciplines (anthropology, primatology, sociobiology, psychology, and even literature). Despite the exhaustive documentation given to her conclusions (as witness the 140-plus-page notes and bibliography sections), the book unfolds in an exceptionally lucid, readable, and often humorous manner. It is a truly compelling read, highly recommended. --Katherine Ferguson

All Is Lost
- Fecha al aire:
- Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner's intuition, and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.

I'm buying a little on dips. Better yield than what I am getting in my savings account and their balance sheet is better than my bank. Truth is, even if defense spending gets hit a little, this company can earn greater revenues over time in the private sector from their technology and patents. For this reason and over the long haul, defense spending cuts are probably a blessing in disguise for LLL as they gain private sector market share. L3 is a very strong technologically advanced company.Good long term hold and good yield, may get very volatile especially if sequestration happens, but for the long term, I'm very bullish.
True, very bullish.

Images from D600 number 4
I could not get the images to upload (don't know why) so the images I am talking about can be seen at todays posy (4/27/13) go www.keeponshooting.com Sorry for the inconvenience. This whole issue is just frustrating.
Just opened my 4th D600 but on my new Nikkor 16 to 35 mm lens and decided to see if thinks are better. I used LR 5's new dust visitation feature to inspect the images. The first photo is shot number 1, Ok maybe it was a dirty sensor from the factory. The follow 2 images are shot number 45 and 117. all photos are of the sky at f22. By shot number 117 the chunks of #### were starting to show in the unprocessed photos, and they were taking on shapes that did not look like the dust on the first frame.
I know some people say suck it up its just dust but buts it clear this is a real problem that Nikon refuses to fix. They just keep shipping defective cameras. The serial number on this one starts with 3070.
All photos shot at f 22 a new 16 to 35 lens was attached to the camera and never removed until I took it off repack the body for return to my dealer.
I used LR 5 and its new dust visualization feature so there would be a consistent method for testing and I couldn't be accused of over processing the photos.
I almost feel like Nikon paid Adobe to but this feature into LR 5 just so people can clean up their dusty photos. (thats another topic for another time)

First off, I don't think the majority of what you are seeing is dust. Many of those spots are sizeable and look more like oil and/or debris. I am curious what the lowest f-stop these are visible at? I have seen them visible at f/5.6.
Dust is certainly something you have to deal with if you own a modern DSLR, but oil and debris are unacceptable. So is cleaning your sensor every few hundred shots even if it is just dust, which again, I don't think it is. Unless you are shooting in a sand storm there is no reason for it.
Anyone who says suck it up doesn't have one of the really bad d600s - if they did they would not be 'sucking it up'. No one would spend $2000 on a camera and think its okay to deal with the problem you are displaying on an ongoing basis. A few dust spots is not a problem - what you are demonstrating is something much more.
It's a shame that Nikon has not been more transparent about this issue. I doubt it's that they have refused to fix the problem - they are just not going to recall the stock they built up before they admitted this issue exists. One would think it was in their economic interests to fix it once they realized the problem as these cameras are very likely to be returned by consumers and ultimately retailers. Not recalling is a debateable move, there appear to be pockets of good original stock and pockets of terrible ones. I myself bought two awful ones from the same retailer.
It is a shame this is happening as the D600 is otherwise the best camera available at its price point. Get a good one and you are going to be very happy, get one likes yours, equal parts misery and rage.

I found the comment amusing. It is a shame you are having so many issues with Nikon.
For the future I plan to keep on shooting with my D700. It has none of the D600 or D800 issues. Is still quite good in low light and though it would be nice to have more resolution at times, I can live very happily with my 12.1 mega pixels ewpecially since it has the works option.

Why amazed? It's a known issue.
Many users (including me) have reported that the spotting decreases with use. So, one strategy might be to clean as needed and wait for the issue to (hopefully) clear up.
Another might be to send to Nikon for service. Many doing so are reporting that the cameras are coming back with replaced shutters.
BTW, how noticeable are the spots on ordinary images taken with normal settings and processing?
Anyway, good luck with your quest.

It's not even built yet, but city and school officials have already chalked a mark in the win category.
The city of Amarillo and the Amarillo Independent School District have proposed a joint-use agreement for a sports complex. The city wanted to build baseball and softball fields in John S. Stiff Memorial Park, Southwest 48th Avenue and Bell Street, and the school district needed a place for its students.
"We contacted the city," said Les Hoyt, assistant AISD superintendent administrator. "We're very thankful for their willingness to consider this as a joint-use project."
The school district began looking for where it could relocate the softball and baseball fields. Title IX requires both girls' and boys' sports to be held on or off school property. AISD houses the boys' baseball on-campus, and the girls' softball off.
"That is not allowable under Title IX," Hoyt said. "The current situation is not a long-term solution."
No estimates have been figured for how much the complex will cost. The two fields and more than 200-space parking lot will occupy five acres, said Cleve Turner, landscape architect with Turner LandArchitecture designing the facility.
In January, bids will be received for the project, and construction should begin in early spring. The fields should be finished in May, with baseball and softball games being played in the spring of 2003, Turner said.
"In the joint-use agreement, the school district is responsible for construction, for paying for the fields," said Larry Offerdahl, city parks and recreation director. "We provide the land as part of our partnership."
At 7 p.m. Oct. 2 in Windsor Elementary School, 6700 Hyde Parkway, the city and school board members will meet with nearby homeowners to discuss the sports complex and address any concerns.
"Anytime you build something like this not everyone will think it's as wonderful as you do," City Manager John Ward said.
The design leaves a 300-foot buffer between the athletic field and the homes in the residential neighborhood.
The fields will not be lighted, but some security lamps will shine on the parking lot.
The field will include advertisements along the outfield wall. However, the signs will not be visible from the road and will not advertise alcoholic beverages, Turner said.
The city will maintain the grounds outside the stadium, and the school district will take care of the interior when it's in use.
"It's a benefit to all taxpayers because sharing facilities between AISD and the city of Amarillo, it costs less and you don't have to duplicate services," Offerdahl said. "We were planning to do additional fields in that area anyway."

Drugs and Addiction: It's Time for Impartiality
Isn't it about time we afforded society and all of its members the dignity of treating a possible dependency through professionalism and basic levels of understanding. We set ourselves up for a fall when we try to distinguish who's entitled to care based on the noun of what their problem may be. Addictions shouldn't be feared, but they should have default impartiality.

BERLIN — The global standardization of Louis Vuitton stores is continuing apace in Germany with the opening this month of a 5,000-square-foot global unit on Kurfurstendamm, this city's key shopping boulevard.
The new store offers the full range of Louis Vuitton luggage, small bags and leather goods, men's and women's apparel and footwear. It replaces the now-closed 850-square-foot shop on Fasanenstrasse, which first opened in 1986, and joins a 600-square-foot Louis Vuitton in-store shop for bags and leather accessories in Berlin's leading department store KaDeWe.
Louis Vuitton, owned by French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, operates 10 doors in Germany. The Berlin store is the company's fourth global unit in the country, after Dusseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich. And it's the largest, said Gianluca Brozzetti, Louis Vuitton president and managing director.
Brozzetti, flanked at the opening by Francois Steiner, president of Louis Vuitton Europe, and Claus-Dietrich Lahrs, director of Louis Vuitton Germany, would not disclose the company's sales in Germany, nor make first-year projections for the new unit here. The three executives, however, were all optimistic about the outlook for Louis Vuitton in Germany, including Berlin, which is one of the country's more difficult retail markets. The capital city generally underperforms the rest of Germany, but according to Lahrs, Louis Vuitton is already considering opening a third door in Mitte in the former eastern part of the city in the next two or three years.
"Berlin is certainly not so flashy or glamorous as Dusseldorf, Munich or Hamburg, but there's serious money here and it's fine for us," Lahrs remarked. "I am more than convinced that Berlin will be a very important city for the luxury business in the next five years, and it's already strong. It's the most dynamic city around for young, hip people."
"We were quite surprised when we opened the shop-in-shop in KaDeWe two years ago," Steiner added. Even though it was less than a mile from the Fasanenstrasse store, "we doubled our business overnight, selling to different customers. And every time we open a global store [in Germany], we're faced with a huge demand for ready-to-wear and shoes.
"Our image in this country seemed dated," he continued. "It didn't include the new items. But as we've seen in Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf, when we enlarge our stores, providing the full range and more visibility for the product, our sales increase. We are fairly confident about Germany," Steiner stated.
The new store here follows the global retail format designed by Peter Marino and found in Louis Vuitton doors opening worldwide. But in Berlin, as elsewhere, there are individual touches. The Kurfurstendamm unit is the first to utilize a ceiling lighting system spanned with white fabric, which also is planned for the new Milan store due to open in January. Other features particular to Berlin: The structured gray-beige plaster walls have been textured in a pattern similar to Louis Vuitton's Epi leather; and the dark wood floors in the entry and rtw departments are made from cumuru, a dense, robust South American wood. The store's exterior, however, is under landmark protection, and will remain in its original state. Built in 1903, the single- floor shop most recently housed the multilabel designer store Kramberg. Its immediate neighbors are Georges Rech and Hermes, with Jil Sander, Versace and Burberry across the street. It is one of the few large-scale spaces to have become available on this exclusive stretch of Ku'damm in years, and it was in high demand. "We beat out Armani by two days," Lahrs claimed.
Louis Vuitton will operate 285 stores worldwide by the end of the year, Steiner said. "It might seem like a big number of stores, but if you consider that these are the only doors where you can get Vuitton, it's a very limited distribution."
As reported in these columns, the French luxury brand has just opened global stores in New York and Hong Kong, as well as San Francisco and Costa Mesa, Calif. Tokyo Ginza bowed in early November, and an entire Louis Vuitton building opened in Seoul at the end of September. This flurry of activity, however, does not represent an expansion of the Louis Vuitton retail network, but rather "to qualify and requalify the network we have," Brozzetti emphasized.
"Of course, we have new territories where we're becoming more active," he added. He noted considerable growth in Latin America and upcoming projects in Eastern Europe, including Moscow, where Louis Vuitton is presently negotiating on a site. The company's presence in China is expanding, with its sixth store slated to open there, "and we're starting in India. It's an enormous market, and we're very well known. There's a history of Vuitton luggage there with the maharajahs," said Brozzetti.
The Berlin opening kicked off with a party for 1,500 held in a vintage movie house. For those guests who started out the champagne-filled evening in the new store, getting to the Filmbuhne Wien was more than half the fun. Packed into yellow school buses, each passenger was handed three-dimensional glasses — printed in the trademark LV shape, of course — which turned the nighttime traffic on the boulevard to a mad whirl of flashing red Louis Vuitton logos.

Have a question? Shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
My father, Emitte Ballou, was born in 1895. As a young man, he played Minor League Baseball. His younger brother, Noble Winfred "Win" Ballou went on to play with the Washington Senators, St. Louis Cardinals [and Brooklyn Dodgers]. The other day while going through some of Daddy's things, I found a photo of a baseball team on the field. The caption at the bottom reads "Jackson Baseball Club Season of 1922" and then "Electric Studio." Do you have any information at all about the Jackson Baseball Club? Where it was? How I can find out any information about it? Did this club belong to Minor League Baseball? Could I donate this photo to some group to whom it would mean something? -- Pat B.
Great story! Minor League teams have been linked to Jackson -- both Mississippi and Tennessee -- for more than a century. The Jackson Red Sox played in the Class D Cotton States League at Athletic Park in Jackson, Miss., in 1922, so that may be the answer.
However, back in the early 20th century in west and middle Tennessee, several towns fielded teams in the Class D Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee "Kitty League," a circuit that, according to the Tennessee Historical Society, hosted baseball from 1903-1906 and intermittently from 1910 through 1955 (teams like the Jackson Railroaders in 1903 and the Jackson Merchants in 1911). Jackson, Clarksville and Union City fielded teams in this league during those years, so, if your father played in 1922, this may well have also been the club he was with.
The Jackson Blue Jays (1924) played in the Kitty league before the Jackson Giants (1925) and Jackson Jays (1926) played in the Class D Tri-State League. Recently, the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx renamed themselves the Jackson Generals. You may want to contact the team or state historical societies about possibly donating that great old image. Or hang on to it!
How many votes a day can you make for online [MiLBY] voting? -- Rolf K.
Each fan (or father, in your case) may vote up to 50 times for MiLBY candidates. There are currently no daily limits.
It is my greatest wish for my grandson, Nicholas "Nick" James Vincent of Ramona, Calif., to be [a MiLBY starting pitcher candidate] someday. Where could I vote for him? Nick was drafted by the San Diego Padres in June 2008 and has played in the Minor Leagues in Oregon after being sent there by the Padres. He has been at Lake Elsinore for two years as a "pitcher." All I know is he only goes in to pitch when they are having problems with winning, etc., and forgive me for not knowing the "title" of that type of position for a pitcher. -- Alma T.
Mr. Vincent is a reliever -- that's the term you're looking for -- not a starter, thus he was not eligible for voting in the starting pitcher MiLBY award category. You're right, relief pitchers do enter games when the starters are removed, due to a variety of circumstances. Your grandson had quite an outstanding season, going 4-0 with a 1.87 ERA in 81 2/3 innings. Voting for the best relievers begins on Oct. 18.
Is it a rule, written or non-written, that precludes a former player (one that has had a career-ending injury or maybe just "lost a step") from becoming an umpire? Also, the other way around, an umpire becoming a player? I am aware of the separate unions. When MLB umpires are introduced, they are never introduced as "former" player/umpire. Obviously, they have to have an intimate knowledge of the game/rules. -- Bobby M.
No, there's no rules prohibiting players becoming umpires or, in the highly unlikely event, an umpire becoming a player. Having knowledge of how the game works doesn't in itself entitle anyone, player or not, to become an umpire -- there are guidelines and steps to become a professional umpire.
I've been umpiring for a for a couple years now and, I tell you, I've got what it takes. I know for a fact I'm ready to start working my way up, and it's all I think about, I live and sleep, dream baseball. I guess what I'm getting at is, what's the next step to getting to the Minors? I know there's a process, please get back to me and let me know what I have to do. -- Cody L.
You don't need to tell us you've got the guts to umpire -- we have nothing to do with selecting who umps in the Minors or Majors. We do, though, have a lot of information on how people can become umpires. Best of luck!
What does it mean when a player is outrighted by the Major League club to their Triple-A club? -- Bill H.
We answered this question a few months ago, take a look.
When do players from the 2010 season become free agents (sixth year)? What is the date? -- Chip O.
According to Major League Rule 55, "At 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 15 or on the fifth day following the last day of the World Series, whichever is later, of the last year of a player's Minor League Uniform Player Contract, the player's Minor League Uniform Player Contract shall expire and the player shall become a 'Minor League free agent' unless the player's Major or Minor League club has remaining options to renew the contract."
My research is concerned with the design and development of a new baseball bat, designed to increase the speed at which the bat can be swung, increase the size of the hitting area and improve the ease of use on the bat. Do you have an official, up-to-date version of the rules and regulations surrounding the use of all equipment and use of equipment in play for Minor League Baseball? -- Robert W.
Official baseball rules can be found here. Section 1 deals with equipment; Rule 1.10 (page 6) specifies rules regarding bats.

Bradford are around £1.5million in debt, it has been revealed.
The beleaguered Bulls are the subject of a takeover offer from Super League (Europe), the umbrella organisation for the 14 top-flight clubs, which, if accepted, would stave off the threat of liquidation and ensure they see the season out.
Joint administrator Brendan Guilfoyle, who has been running the club since it went into administration on June 26, is expected to give his answer early next week. In the meantime, Blake Solly, the Rugby Football League's director of licensing and standards, shed more light on the financially-stricken club in a meeting with BullBuilder, the Bradford supporters' trust.
In the meeting Solly said he could not guarantee the Bulls would remain in Super League for 2013 and revealed that, if the bid is accepted, the Bradford players would be free to speak to other clubs to secure their futures for next season.
A statement released by BullBuilder said: "In a constructive meeting, we established that SLE look on this as a short-term measure and are confident of attracting a long-term, unconditional bid in the near future.
"Solly could give no guarantees about the division in which the club will play next season: he commented that the debt of the club remains a concern and is estimated to be approximately £1.5m.
"However, he assured BullBuilder that the club would continue to play at Odsal for the foreseeable future. If the SLE bid is accepted, we understand that players will then be free to speak to other clubs to secure their future for next season."

Nuclear Engineer
Considering you're working with potentially dangerous tools and elements that could melt your face off in a nanosecond, we'd say there's going to be a certain level of stress involved.
That said, taking all the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of your co-workers ensures that your potential anxiety about that part of the job will be kept to a minimum.
Your family and friends may have concerns that you'll start glowing in the dark, but that's not something you spend much time thinking about. You're going to have to ease their trepidation with your incredible knowledge and understanding of nuclear science. You're about as likely to develop superpowers as you are a glowing skin tone.
There's another, less immediate stress that you may have to deal with, though. With scientific developments come opinions about said scientific developments. Whether or not those opinions are based on facts is irrelevant; with nuclear science,, there's always some level of public backlash, so you'll have to learn to deal with the occasional protest chant.
You're not just a scientist when you go into this field—you're also a scientific mouthpiece. You know what goes on in the lab, plant, radiology ward, or physics classroom, and it's up to you to communicate that to the folks around you. The thing that may stress you most is having to dumb down your speech patterns for the rest of us.
You may be a genius, but the rest of us are just trying to figure out how you're not an evil genius.

Hello guys!
I searched the forums, the developer stuff (codex etc), and even tried to find a plugin doing the following (to copy some code >_>), too:
How do I have multiple instances of a single widget?
I need this for my plugin pb-embedFlash to display multiple widgets with different flash content. At the moment, I'm using a workaround by putting the wp_register_... stuff into a for-loop.
(Yes, I should use the register_... without wp_, but I don't find a documentation...) But it only works on Firefox, not on Internet Explorer... (don't ask me why...)
Defining/forcing the number of widgets by copying the register_-functions x times is no solution for me.
From Plugins/WordPress_Widgets_Api:
Widgets - One or many
Widgets can be coded so that they can exist one time or they can exist multiple times. WordPress is doing the work for you to instantiate your Widget multiple times if you follow some rules.
But there is neither no link, nor an example...
Overall, there are only little information on writing widgets...
Maybe you can help me.

"The tyranny of code"
"Y2K: Only the grin remains"
"Responding internationally"
Computer Security Institute's summary of survey
FBI's San Francisco office
Early this month, I was the leadoff witness at the Council of Europe Parliamentary
Assembly's Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee hearing on its draft
treaty on cybercrime. The United States and other non-European countries
have participated in drafting its text, which many other countries are expected
to sign. Signers would then bring their national laws into conformance with
the treaty. Thus, the council is creating a model law on cybercrime for
the world.
Reflecting those high stakes, the Paris hearing was packed with members
of the assembly and industry and government representatives from both sides
of the Atlantic. Most of the participating nations' law enforcement officials
support the treaty as they have drafted it. Content owners, such as the
Recording Industry Association of America, also support the treaty as a
necessary weapon against the forces that are challenging intellectual property
Important objections remain, however, and at the hearing I cited three:
The weight of the objections may delay action by the council until next
year a considerable setback in the fight to make cyberspace safer.
But a compromise is emerging that would consolidate the progress made
to date and leave the doors open for debatable areas to be resolved over
the next year. It would involve clear but limited coverage of principal
computer crimes: data interception, unauthorized modification and theft;
network-related crimes, including interference and sabotage; and crimes
of access, including hacking and virus distribution.
In addition, the treaty should enable cooperation across borders among
law enforcement agencies, but in a manner that respects due process and
human rights. Such a limited and incremental approach seems to be the most
successful way to legislate in cyberspace.

Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.

clicks my business website recieved and not the full $400.00 every month.
I was sceptical but I agreed thinking that there was no way I would get that many clicks to my website every month and if I did then I should be making enough money to pay for the advertizing. Plus the company I have my website through shows me how many clicks to my website I get every day, so there was no way that city grid media could lie because I would have the proof.
So a month went by and I made sure I had the $400 in my business acct. just in case I had that many clicks to my website at the end of the month. I was thinking I would only have to pay at the most half of the $400.00. Well they ended up taking the full $400 and I did not have that many clicks to my website!
So I left a mesage for my representative libby rulison to call or email me back and she didn't after a whole week. so then I called and talked to a representative and they told me that it was clicks to their website and to my profile page that I was being charged for and not to my business website. So how do I know if they are lying about how many people actualy clicked on my profile page on their site?
I never would have signed up if I knew it was going to be like that, but I kwas lied to just so they can make money of course! I told the man that I wanted my money back, I wanted to cancle my account and I wanted to speak with a manager. He said he would have the manager call me in a week.( who tells their customers who are upset that they will have a manager call them in a week?) Well the manager never called back.
I called again and spoke with someone and they cancled my account for me. I filed a dispute form with my bank and cancled my account so they could not take any more money from me. Then a month later I see they are trying to take $219.00 out of my account , so I called the billing department and spoke with a man, i didn't get his name, he said that they were not going to give me my money back and I should have read the small print. He said good bye very mean and hung up on me.
It sounds like they are such a big company that they would have all their calls recorded for quality assurance purposes but they don't. If they did I told the man he could go back and here axactly what the sales person told me (all the fals and misleading information), Isn't that funny that they don't record any of their calls!!! ? He said they only do electronic signatures.
What ever happend to being able to go by someones word? We can't even believe a word that someone tells us and we have to read the fine print to make sure they are not lying! How sad! Mandy, La Belle, FL

7674 V-19 Torrent
Number of Pieces: 471
Number of Minifigs: 1
Price: £49.99
The V-19 Torrent starfighter was an assault fighter with exceptional speed and maneuverability used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.It was a predecessor of the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter, in terms of purpose and usage. It first appeared in the Genndy Tartakovsky�€™s Clone wars 2D series.
Box front:
The box art shows the torrent flying above Tatooine, with the new blue and white �€œclone wars�€� style packaging,
Box back:
The back shows some of the features of the set including the lifting mechanism and adverts for 7679 Republic Gunship, 7675 AT-TE and the 7673 MagnaGuard starfighter
Inside the box, there are 2 instruction books, a very small DSS and 9 bags that are not numbered.
Instruction books
Random manual shot
Parts list
Book one is mainly the construction of the body and one of the engines, Book 2 is the other engine and the wings. For better pics of the manual look on lego's website.
Sticker sheet:
A very small sticker sheet is included, which includes 2 republic insignias and a nose sticker.
One minifigure is included, a clone pilot. The whole "OMG only one minifigure in this set" and "Its not movie accurate, i hate you TLC!!!11one2" has been beaten to death, so please don't make this review turn into that and to be honest i don't care because its an awesome figure.
TLC have made the effort to print the life support device onto the chest plate so props to them.
He has the "clone head" like the rest of the clones have in the CW releases, there are no extra clone bits apart from a long blaster, that's not included here.
Interesting/other pieces
Printed piece!
Rare/unusual pieces:
there are 2 pistons included, as well as 2 weird looking technic pieces that serve as the landing gear during the build. which might explain why the set is quite expensive, it musn't have been cheap to manufacture them.
The build
It starts off relatively simple, the first 16 steps is getting the basic shape of the cockpit and the mechanism to make the middle wing move up and down.
After that the next few steps are getting the landing gear/wing folding device done, it's actually the same thing so when the wings move into attack mode the landing gear retracts. This is then locked into place by the white beams that form the basic shape of the fuselage.
Up to step 46 is the fuselage, as well as fitting the hydraulics. This is what it looks like when the fuselage is complete. The cockpit is not "air tight", there's is quite a big gap
The final few steps of book 1 is the construction of one of the engines, here it is attatched :
The yellow bar is not permanent, its used to keep the white bit at the top from moving downwards. The steps are repeated in the second book so that both engines are now in
On to the wings!
First one attatched,
The middle one is attached now:
and finally the last one:
It is now finished!
The pieces that are left:
So, you're probably wondering, how does it enter attack mode? well can you see this bar?
push that bar to the center, and pick it up, the hydraulics move the central wing downwards as well as the side wings to enter attack mode:
The outer wings have flickfire missiles on them, they obviously don't work, but it increases the playability of the set.
The cockpit opens in a similar way to General Grevious's starfighter released last year, using a sliding mechanism
For other pics see here : http://s25.photobuck...eview/?start=20 and i'll be taking other requests for pics, maybe a video of it switching between modes.
Build: 7/10 very symmetrical build, the mechanism to move the wings might annoy some people.
Minifigs: 5/10 1 fig in a £50 set, however it is a starfighter
Design: 9/10 very accurate to the source material, Lego have really made the effort to make the movement feature work.
Parts: 8/10 lots of technic, white and dark red pieces
Price: 7/10 could be slightly cheaper,
Playability: 6.5/10 need to buy some enemy sets to get the most of it, flick fires don't work.
comments, requests, questions and criticisms welcome.

I can understand since he had us lie to the bank to have all funds released up front. He told us he didn't have the funds to do the job. Well, that was a hard lesson learned.
He sends carpenters to do electrical work, thank God the couple of subcontractors were nice that he sent, although when they found out how much he was paid for the job and then what he was giving them and expected of them, they seemed to disappear. Everytime I "try" to turn on my front porch light, look at the dirty/unsealed T1-11, the rotted floor that he promised to fix, the cracks left unsealed, etc. etc.... basically whenever I sit in or see my low bid/but overpriced addition I almost have a stroke. Does not return calls. Never provided paperwork on "new" water treatment system. We were just told, "Don't worry, it will last 15 years, if something happens just give me a call." Yeah right and you'll answer when? I seriously cannot type all the problems that we've had with this guy. I would have to sit here and type all day and I can't do that with a 1 year old, work, school, etc. Just please stay away.

Dazzling Glinda ensures a bewitching 'Wicked'
Watching Hayley Podschun's captivating Glinda on Thursday night at the Marcus Center, I realized how much this ambitious sorority girl from Oz has in common with the musical in which she co-stars with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
Like the dazzling Glinda, "Wicked" knows how to milk an entrance, fill a room and put on a show. This is the same tour that was here in 2010, and the production values in evidence then continue to impress, from the lavish Edwardian costumes and matching steampunk set to the spectacular lighting design and 14-piece pit orchestra. »Read Full Article

The Milwaukee Public Library's board of trustees has OK'd a plan to begin negotiations with the Grohmann Museum to loan "The Bookworm," one of its most valuable works of art, in exchange for a $1 million gift.
The Grohmann, on the Milwaukee School of Engineering campus at 1000 N. Broadway, is looking for a "long-term loan" of the painting, made in 1850 by German romantic painter Carl Spitzweg, said James Kieselburg, director of the Grohmann Museum. He stressed that nothing had been finalized. »Read Full Article(1)

'Maleficent' casts a so-so spell, despite Jolie, Fanning
Fleshing out one of Disney's quintessential villains is an intriguing idea. But, while "Maleficent" teases at the premise's potential, it never quite sustains the magic.
Don't blame Angelina Jolie or Elle Fanning. As Maleficent and Aurora, they supply most of the story's power and spark. The problem is that the movie tries to cover so much ground that none of the characters is given enough depth. »Read Full Article(1)

Among the colorful sea urchins, Neptunes and half-naked women at Coney Island's Mermaid Parade last weekend were some half-fish with a message.
Protestors took the sea celebration as an opportunity to voice their disgust with BP and the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Multiple mermaids covering themselves in "oil" (one enterprising parade-goer used chocolate syrup to simulate the effects of dripping oil), while other participants dressed as oil-covered pelicans and marched with anti-BP signs protesting BP's lack of action as its nears 70 days since the oil first started spilling into the gulf.
The message was sent while warnings that the spill, which reportedly has been dumping between 25,000 to 30,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf, could soon reach the Atlantic Ocean — home of Coney Island Beach.

11 News has spoken with a Bresnan Communications spokesperson to discover why customers are experiencing a phone and Internet outage.
Shawn Beqaj with Bresnan Communications in New York says the company has experienced a 'serious outage' in at least three states including Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.
Beqaj says while many markets have had service restored, Grand Junction is not one of them and it is "difficult to say when it will be put back up." He says the company isn't sure why the outage occurred but it started around 7 p.m. Thursday and that "we're definitely on the solution side of this problem now."
Cable service is unaffected.
Beqaj says the outage has nothing to do with President Obama's visit to the Western United States but jokes that conspiracy theorists will have a good time connecting the two.
11 News will bring you the latest on this developing story as it becomes available. Beqaj expects to be issuing a formal statement shortly.

I absolutely love the idea and look of Side Matter, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work on my site.
Here is an example page, http://wanglophile.com/side-matter-test/, where the sidenotes don't appear.
My theme is Ryu by Automattic.
I would be very grateful for any help.

Worst remote I've ever bought
on 3/9/2008
The Tsz Slim-line remote is practically useless because it only works from about 4 feet away from your XBOX 360. I was so dissatisfied with it that I contacted Pelican to return it, however, the return shipping fee was half the price of the remote itself so I just threw the thing away. This product alone has given me reason to avoid all Pelican products in the future.
