Contents: Green tea for weight loss - Green tea for fighting disease - Getting the best results from green tea - Who should avoid green tea
Few natural substances equal the powerful combined benefits of green tea and lemon. Green tea has been shown to boost the body's metabolism and fight disease. And, when coupled with True Lemon, green tea's strength increases dramatically.
Green Tea and Weight Loss
In studies, people who drank three to five cups a day for three months lost 4.6 percent of their body weight. Other studies show drinking two to four cups daily can burn an extra 50 calories, which equals about five pounds lost every year.
Compounds in green tea known as polyphenols help burn fat even when you are at rest. These polyphenols may even block the conversion of calories into fat. One study confirmed that the combination of green tea and caffeine improved weight loss and maintenance in overweight and moderately obese individuals.
Green tea also attacks fat through an amino acid it contains called L-theanine. L-theanine has a calming effect on the nervous system and can help reduce stress-related surges in cortisol, a hormone linked to fat storage, especially around the belly.
Green Tea Antioxidants Fight Disease
Green tea is unfermented, while black tea is fermented. Because fermenting lowers the polyphenol content and increases the caffeine content, green tea has more polyphenols and less caffeine than black tea.
Green tea's healthful properties are largely attributed to these polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties. Antioxidants scavenge and neutralize free radicals in the body that damage cells and DNA. Many scientists believe that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well. Free radicals occur naturally, but environmental toxins, such as radiation and cigarette smoke, also cause free damaging radicals to occur.
According to studies, antioxidants in green tea may help combat atherosclerosis and heart disease and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Several studies have shown that both green and black teas help protect against many forms of cancer. And animal studies suggest that green tea may help prevent or slow the development of type 1 diabetes.
Why True Lemon makes green tea healthier
Purdue University research found that adding citrus juice or vitamin C to green tea increases the amount of antioxidants available for the body to absorb by more than five times.
Because True Lemon is made from the cold-pressed and crystallized juices and oils of fresh lemons, you may use it in hot and cold teas with the same effect as fresh lemon juice. In consumer taste tests, True Lemon was preferred over fresh lemons 7 out of 10 times. Each True Lemon packet contains 25 percent of an adult's recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C.
How to get the best results from green tea
In addition to adding True Lemon or lemon to boost antioxidants, you can also preserve the compounds in green tea that provide weight loss and health benefits by avoiding boiling hot water. Boil the water and then let it cool a minute or two before pouring into your teapot. Then, steep the tea one to three minutes to extract maximum antioxidants.
The longer the tea bags steep, the more health-enhancing compounds are released, however, the slightly bitter quality of green tea may also increase. Adding True Lemon will not only increase the antioxidant availability of the tea, but will add tart, refreshing flavor and decrease any bitter taste.
In summertime, another preparation method is to put the tea in a glass or pitcher of water and place it in the sun. The cold water will gradually warm, gently releasing the tea's flavor and color.
Green tea is not for everyone
People with heart and kidney problems, stomach ulcers, psychological issues, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should limit or avoid tea. And talk to your doctor about drinking green tea if you are taking any of these medications due to possible interactions: Adenosine, Antibiotics, Beta-lactam, Benzodiazepines, Beta-blockers, Propranolol, Metoprolol, Blood Thinning Medications (including Aspirin), Chemotherapy, Clozapine. Ephedrine, Lithium, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, Oral Contraceptives or Phenylpropanolamine.
Remember, green tea has less caffeine than black tea or coffee, but if you drink too much it can still affect your sleep. Caffeine intake for most people should not exceed 400 mg per day, and each cup of green tea after five minutes brewing has about 32 mg. caffeine.
Try True Lemon with your next cup of hot or iced green tea!

I had the great pleasure of spending the morning at the DMV. I stood in line despite arriving on-time for an appointment, waited for number F012 to flash on a screen with other anxious people, paid $31 for a new license, waited in another line for 25 minutes to have my photo taken and then BOOM, my happiness was stolen. "No smiling," said the woman at the photo booth. "Are you serious?!" I asked, trying not to sound rude. "No smiling. It's Homeland Security. They don't want any smiling on any IDs." Well, you try not smiling when someone tells you not to smile. It's hard! It's like trying not to spit all over your monitor the first time you discover this.
The no-fun-allowed rule is a month old in California and according to Homeland Security, it will keep us "safe" by allowing our ID photos to work with facial recognition technology. The technology is so sophisticated that is requires "neutral expressions" to identify humans in photos; smile = fail. Hence, the no smile rule.
So what is a not smile? The national guide to ID photos is not particularly helpful. I see smiling people here. Can you turn up one corner of your mouth or show a little teeth?
Ever the optimist, I'm choosing to see this as another reason to enjoy biking. And if bicycle license plates or cyclist licenses ever become a reality, I'll fight for the right to grin. Screw technology! I'm happy!
Thank you Homeland Security. Now we can all feel safe in the "neutral" position.

PHILADELPHIA - Suddenly, the Washington Redskins are playoff contenders.
Ki-Jana Carter scored his first touchdown in two years and Washington shut down Donovan McNabb as the surprising Redskins won their fifth straight game, 13-3, over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Washington is the first team in NFL history to win five straight after starting the season with five consecutive losses. The Redskins moved within one game of the first-place Eagles in the NFC East.
"Coming from where we came from, we're in the driver's seat," Redskins defensive end Bruce Smith said. "I don't know how many people thought we'd win, but we knew it in the locker room."
Washington plays four of its last six games at home, including another matchup against the Eagles on Dec. 16.
Philadelphia (6-4) had won three straight, including its last two by a total of 64 points. But the Eagles couldn't do anything on offense against the Redskins.
They went three-and-out on their first five possessions, punted on the first seven and didn't get a first down until the two-minute warning of the first half.
Washington controlled the ball for 37:47 and held the Eagles to 186 total yards and seven first downs.
"I can't say that we weren't ready to play, but that's the way it seemed," Eagles Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter said.
After stopping Philadelphia on fourth-and-3 at their own 35 with 9:25 left, the Redskins held the ball for almost nine minutes before Brett Conway kicked a 32-yard field goal for the 10-point lead with 30 seconds left.
Redskins quarterback Tony Banks completed 12 of 18 passes for 96 yards, and Stephen Davis ran for 79 yards despite a sore back that forced him to miss part of the game.
McNabb was 15-of-27 for 92 yards. Duce Staley had 50 yards rushing on 15 carries.
"The atmosphere was electrifying," Banks said. "It was like the playoffs. To get to 5-5 and back to mediocrity - I'm not saying we're mediocre because we're better than that, but that's what the record is - there's a lot of football to be played."
Carter, who entered the game when Davis left in the first quarter, gave the Redskins a 7-0 lead on a 5-yard run 63 seconds into the second quarter.
Carter broke a tackle by Hollis Thomas and ran up the middle for the TD. He finished with 56 yards rushing on 18 carries.
Selected by Cincinnati with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 draft, Carter never established himself with the Bengals. He dislocated his right knee in the third game of the 1999 season and sat out until this year.
"Everybody wrote me off, but I knew what kind of player I am," Carter said. "I had confidence in myself. I knew I'd get another shot."
A 43-yard field goal by Conway gave the Redskins a 10-0 lead with eight seconds left in the first half. He missed a 37-yarder wide left in the first quarter.
David Akers cut it to 10-3 on a 49-yarder with 4:05 left in the third quarter. On third-and-2, McNabb overthrew tight end Chad Lewis, who was wide open, forcing the Eagles to settle for the field goal.
McNabb was erratic throughout the game. He overthrew receivers three times in the first quarter, bounced a pass to Lewis on a third-and-2 in the second and threw behind Freddie Mitchell on a fourth-and-3 in the fourth.
McNabb, the NFL's fourth-leading rusher among quarterbacks, didn't run the ball until the opening drive of the third quarter. He finished with 39 yards rushing on three carries.
"There were plays to be played and I didn't make them," McNabb said. "A lot of people can take the blame for today and I'm one of them. I played nowhere near as well as I'm capable of playing."
Notes: Banks has won four of six starts since joining his fourth team in four years. ... Eagles DT Corey Simon left the game with a mild right knee strain in the first quarter, but he returned on the next possession and finished with two sacks. ... In its first two possessions of games this season, Philadelphia has 13 punts, five turnovers and just two scores. ... Eagles RB Correll Buckhalter, the team's leading rusher, got just 5 yards rushing on four carries in his first game back following a one-game suspension. He had a big hit on Michael Bates on a kickoff return in the third quarter. ... Neither team had a turnover.

Florida's green turtle nesting aggregation is the second largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Green turtle nesting in Florida occurs from June through late September. Every two or three years, a female will return to the same nesting beach and lay an average of three to five egg clutches in a season. A clutch averages about 128 eggs. With about 12 days between nestings, a female can lay as many as 10 clutches.
The green turtle's name derives not from the color of its shell--olive-brown with dark streaks and spots--but from the greenish color of its body fat. On average, these sea turtles weigh 300 pounds and have a shell length of 3.3 feet.
Although nesting activity has been recorded in almost every coastal county in Florida, most green turtle nesting is concentrated along the southeast coast of Florida.

Finally got rid of the last nagging symptoms of my several-weeks-long illness, so I'm back in full form and doing my very best to catch up on the rest of the year's offerings in preparation for my year-end Top 10 list. Still got a ways to go (with about a dozen more promising movies yet to open), but progress is ongoing and can be tracked via my film log on http://www.lodinews.com/blogs/battle_royale/">Battle Royale.
Coming up next week, expect a look at Dwayne Johnson's hard-R revenge-themed action flick "Faster." After that, your guess is as good as mine. That's when the highly anticipated limited releases will start rolling out, and I'll try to get to them as they open. Weeks in which no major awards-season picture opens, I'll fall back on whatever looks to be the most enjoyable of the wide releases. Kind of a loose format for the next few weeks due to the lack of a concrete release schedule, but bear with me.

Career included spells at BBC, ITN
LONDON — Bob Phillis, one of British media's most experienced and highly regarded senior managers, has died, aged 64, following extensive treatment for cancer.
Phillis, who became deputy director general of the BBC after running the organization's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, had one of the most impressive careers in the U.K. communications sector.
He came to the fore in TV circles running the pioneering ITV combo, Central Television, in the 1980s subsequently becoming CEO of the U.K. broadcast news org ITN from 1991-1993.
For much of the rest of the 1990s, he worked at the BBC, initially in charge of BBC Enterprises before it changed its name to BBC Worldwide.
At Worldwide, Phillis negotiated the joint venture with Flextech that created the UKTV channels biz, now a partnership between Worldwide and cable outfit Virgin Media.
For a year he ran the BBC World Service. There he was responsible for taking the broadcaster off Star TV, owned by News Corp., to prevent it from being controlled by the Chinese government.
In 1997, after serving as John Birt's deputy director-general at the corp., Phillis took the helm at U.K. newspaper and magazine firm, Guardian Media Group, where he remained until 2006.
Phillis' genial manner, business acumen and tireless support for public service broadcasting made him a unique and much-valued presence in the often fractious world of British media where his diplomatic skills were constantly in demand.
Latterly he served as president of the Royal Television Society, the educational charity that serves as a debating forum for the U.K. TV sector.
Despite his illness, Phillis was very much in evidence at the RTS's biannual Cambridge Convention held in September.
In Cambridge, he was warmly applauded by colleagues from all sides of the TV industry, who knew of his long-standing health problem that had led to several spells in hospital during recent years.
Mark Thompson, the BBC's director general, said: "Bob Phillis made an enormous contribution to British media, in particular at the Guardian Media Group, commercial television and at the BBC.
"He will be remembered as an inspirational leader but also as a warm-hearted, loyal, friend and colleague. We will miss him enormously."
Michael Lyons, the chairman of the BBC Trust, added: "I was very saddened to hear today that Bob Phillis had died.
"He made an invaluable contribution to the BBC during his time here, and remained a major figure in broadcasting, not least through his leadership of the RTS.
"He was a friend and guide to many in the industry: this is a loss to us all."
Phillis was a board director at ITV from 2005-07 and chaired an independent review of U.K. government communications in 2004.

Blue-fronted Amazon Tory takes a bath in a bowl.
Bath: (noun) Pet birds typically bathe in one of two ways: by shower (in the shower or by spray bottle) or by bath. For birds that prefer to take a bath rather than a shower, fill a shallow container with cool to warm water. The container should be large enough for the bird but not large enough for too much water that the bird can drown. A bird that likes to use a bath will then use his wings to get himself completely drenched. The bathing container should not be easy to knock over as some birds like to perch on the side. Observe your bird to determine the temperature, duration and frequency he prefers. The water should not be hot and not include soap.

Vancouver GM Mike Gillis said he believes the Canucks would have won Game 6 in Chicago and can win Game 7 at Rogers Arena on Tuesday as long as they have "a level playing field."
Gillis, speaking in front of the full gathering of media for the first time in the playoffs, never raised his voice and was very calculated in his comments as he referred to his frustration with the officiating in the series. He read off a sheet he was holding when he stepped in front of the media outside the Canucks' dressing room.
Gillis claimed Chicago has had 59 percent more power plays than Vancouver in the series, including 69 percent more in Games 3-6. He also claimed that in the last four games when the score has been close, between a one- or two-goal difference, Chicago has received 100 percent more power plays than the Canucks plus one penalty shot.
The Blackhawks are 6-for-27 on the power play in the series while the Canucks are 4-for-16. The Blackhawks have scored all their power play goals on 22 chances over the last four games while the Canucks have converted on three of 12 chances since Game 3.
"I'm not sure how you explain that discrepancy, but we're going to be very hard-pressed to win hockey games if throughout an entire series when the score is tight, they get 75 percent more power plays than we do," Gillis said. "And that's just the reality. That's the facts that we're facing. You look at the game (Sunday) night, you guys all watched it, you don't need me to comment about what occurred in that hockey game. But when you break down the video, there are some extraordinary plays to explain given what's gone on."
Gillis seemed particularly agitated that Bryan Bickell did not receive at least a charging minor for his hit behind the net on Kevin Bieksa in overtime. He said it was very similar to Raffi Torres' hit on Brent Seabrook behind the net in Game 3, and Torres received a two-minute minor for interference on the play.
"The Torres hit was determined to be an interference call. Their team called for him to be suspended for multiple games, all kinds of people called for him to be suspended for multiple games," Gillis said. "In my opinion that hit (Sunday) night was clearly a charging play. His head was targeted. The full whiplash effect from that hit, so the only contact was with his head initially. Minimum, minimum it was a charging penalty on that particular play, but they saw it the way they saw it."
Gillis said he has brought up his complaints with the proper executives within the National Hockey League. He flatly denied that he was making these comments to let any of his players off the hook for losing the last three games, but it did appear he was trying to change the storyline going into Game 7 by putting the onus on his frustration over the officiating and not what was happening with his team.
The Canucks were ahead 3-0 in the series, but lost Games 4 and 5 by a combined 12-2. Game 6 was tight and went to overtime after Vancouver blew three one-goal leads, but Ben Smith scored for the Hawks to send the series back to Vancouver for Game 7.
Chicago had twice as many power plays as the Canucks in Game 6 (4-2) but neither team converted. Chicago did score on a penalty shot that was called when Dan Hamhuis brought down Michael Frolik early in the third period, but Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said following the game that it was a good call.
"These are facts. They're undeniable," Gillis said. "The first two games everything is relatively equal, the last four games they haven't been. And when people seem to think we don't have the killer instinct, it's pretty tough to have the killer instinct when you're killing penalties most of the time.
"Our power play was No. 1 in the League and theoretically we felt there were six or seven legitimate calls that weren't called for whatever reason. That's six or seven power-play opportunities for us. It's going to change the outcome of the game."
The Canucks' players and Vigneault did not join Gillis in showing frustration with the officials. They felt it best to focus on the task at hand and let Gillis worry about the complaints.
"I'm not going to touch on that. Our players and myself, we need to be focused on the process, putting a good game on the ice," Vigneault said. "I understand Mike's frustration. When Raffi Torres hit Seabrook, there was almost a national debate on whether he should play another game this year and we even had media from our media suggest that if the League doesn't suspend him we should suspend him. Well, the hit on Kevin (Sunday) night was the exact same hit and they didn't even get a minor and nobody brought it up so I understand his frustration. But, as far as us coaches and players, there's nothing we can do about that and we just have to go out and play."
Regardless of his complaints, Gillis still believes in the group. But, he also feels they haven't had a chance to show how good they can be yet.
"We were lucky to get into overtime the way things occurred during the game (Sunday night)," he said. "We directed 85 pucks at their net. If we had had any power plays whatsoever it probably could have been a hundred. We've had the best team during the regular season and that was the best game they've played during the whole year. And, so, for us to come away with a loss is shocking to me.
"I'm very confident that if we play the same way (Tuesday) night and it's a level playing field we'll win the game."

Oh, and the Torres penalty was interference, not elbowing. What a knucklehead.

Doesn't make the team look very resilient when the guy who decides who wears the uniforms is running to the media making excuses.

As for penalties being the reason why the Canucks may lose the series -- s***ting the bed in magnificent fashion in games 4 and 5 is why they may lose the series.

I wonder if he even WATCHED Det/SJ last year. Some of the worst officiating I've ever seen, but you never heard Holland whining to the press about it.
And this is Holland's fault.
NHL tries to extend all series as much as they can. For those watching the play-offs last three/four years no explanation is needed. There are plenty of examples. At the end this is Vancouver's fault that they were up by 3 games.

At least I'd hope there would be an outcry. Of course refs exercise discression BUT to outright admit they doctor the books to keep the balance sheets stable. Yikes.

But to talk about how the NHL schemes to extend these series, you guys know thats all illegal right? I have a hard time believing that the NHL would risk their already crappy reputation just to extend a series one or two games. I think you guys need to give it up.

What a joke that franchise is. Holland coulda took the podium a hundred times in the past 15 years to ***** about the officiating. Glad he actually has some class.

It's the hawks, officiating has been questionable in each game they played 2 weeks before the playoffs. I mean come on Detroit did not even have a PP in 2 games against them this year. That being said, Vancouver has no right to complain. You were up 3-0 with this questionable officiating, but now it's 3-3 and it's a problem?
Exactly. Complaining about the officiating now that you're tied after leading 3-0 is a real ***** move. The refs can't bring a team back from 3-0 deficit. Lousy goaltending and lack of intensity can though.

The 2013 NFL draft is just over a month away, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are patiently waiting until then to replenish their depleted roster.
The Jaguars are in full rebuild mode and have been purging themselves of the awful contracts former general manager Gene Smith gave out during his failed tenure. Jacksonville will use the draft to replace the departed players with prospects who can develop into playmakers.
This draft is crucial to the roster overhaul's success. The players picked this year will make up the core of the team to build around in the future. Selecting the right players will get the Jaguars started off on the right path to future success.
The Jaguars are in prime position to replenish their roster with talented rookies. With the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, the franchise will have its choice of almost any player it wants. The Jaguars also hold the top pick in the second round, which puts them in a perfect position to negotiate deals between the first and second nights of the draft.
If the team makes the right moves in the draft, it could return to prominence quicker than many expect.
Here is the latest Jaguars mock draft after the first few days of free agency.

Featured Golf News
Fazio & Kidd Slated to Design Courses in Portugal
With the U.S. golf-development market still stagnant, more and more American architects have shifted their focus to projects overseas. The latest designers to do so are Tom Fazio and David McLay Kidd.
The duo has been hired to craft two 18-hole layouts on waterfront property along Portugal's Alentejo coast. The Espirito Santo family, the developer of the resort, called Herdade da Comporta, says that each course would be worthy of hosting a Ryder Cup.
The project will be built near the village of Comporta, about an hour's drive south of Lisbon. The property is sandy and bumpy and lends itself to golf courses. Portuguese golf officials plan to nominate Fazio's course, Comporta Links, to host the 2018 Ryder Cup.
"It's a pure sand site with big, rolling contours," says Brian Courcelle, a Fazio design associate. "It's hard to call it a links course because it's not really close enough to the sea, but the golf course won't have any trees, just areas of scrub, gorse, heather, and lavender."
Kidd's layout, Comporta Dunes, will occupy a hilly, 250-acre parcel a kilometer from the Atlantic Ocean, which is as close to the water as a course can be built in Portugal. The Scottish-born architect, who's now based in Bend, Ore., says that he's approached the design of his 7,600-yard course as if it were also a Ryder Cup venue.
"It's a fantastic site for golf," Kidd says of the course which, like Fazio's, will be open to the public. Construction on Kidd's course is expected to begin early this year. If Fazio's course is selected to host the Ryder Cup, work on it will also begin in 2011.
Herdade da Comporta (http://www.herdadedacomporta.pt) is being developed by Espirito Santo Group, a conglomerate that controls Portugal's second-largest bank, Banco Espirito Santo. The company owns several golf courses near Lisbon, including the 36-hole Ribagolfe complex and Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club. It expects to open an "urban-style" course in the area soon and has others in planning.
The Espirito Santo family has owned the roughly 31,000-acre site in Comporta since 1955 and been working on Herdade da Comporta for the better part of a decade. (Work on Kidd's course was originally supposed to have begun in 2008.)
The family plans to build a pair of resorts about eight miles from each other. Besides the courses, the resorts will have single-family homes, villas, and condos, hotels and golf academies. All but 1,833 acres of the Herdade da Comporta property will remain as open space.
Kidd says Comporta Dunes will have "a great deal of open sand," resembling courses he's designed in Scotland, the Castle Course at St. Andrews and Machrihanish Dunes in Machrihanish, as well as the original course that he crafted at Bandon Dunes in Oregon.
Comporta Links, Fazio's first course in Europe, will occupy 350 acres and extend 7,867 yards from the tips. Fazio will co-design Comporta Links with Ross McMurray of Sunningdale, England-based European Golf Design. EGD is partly owned by the PGA European Tour, which will select the venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup. Portugal will compete against France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain for the biennial matches, with the winner likely to be named in April 2011.

Author Affiliations: Past president, Association of Women Surgeons, Downers Grove, Ill; and Department of Surgery, Salt Lake City VA Health Care System and University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City.
The mission of the Association of Women Surgeons is "to inspire, encourage and enable women surgeons to realize their personal and professional goals."1 Claude Organ personified this mission statement not only for women surgeons but for all surgeons. To him, surgeons were surgeons, no matter their packaging. He was noted for providing that needed push or pull, especially to those who for reasons of race, sex, or socioeconomic status were not able to make it over the hurdles on their own. He understood that for many, a small intervention was all that was needed to put them on the path to greatness.
In 1993, Dr Organ was awarded the Nina Starr Braunwald Award from the Association of Women Surgeons. The award was established by Nina's husband to memorialize her ideals. The award is "given to a member or non-member surgeon in recognition of outstanding contributions to the advancement of women in surgery."1 Dr Organ's support of women surgeons was longstanding and widespread. He supported women surgeons in all areas of his work: in his role as a department chair and in his role as a leader of American surgery. Dr Organ saw these positions as an opportunity to serve those around him: younger surgeons, patients, and the community.
During the last months of his life, Dr Organ led a contingent of American surgeons to South Africa. Dr Denise Johnson remembers that even though this trip was clearly difficult for him physically, he had a smile on his face continuously (oral communication, August 2005). It was his gift to South Africa; he was ensuring that the foundation was solid for the work yet to be done. More importantly, it was a gift to the surgeons who participated: not only a gift of his time, but also a chance to show them the needs of people outside our country.
As we mark his passing, we should remember and emulate what Dr Organ brought to our profession. We can use 3 words to describe his life and work: honor, respect, and passion. Dr Organ embodied these 3 ideals. He brought and showed honor for the profession. He was respectful of people despite their differences. And he was passionate about many things, but first and foremost about surgery and the benefits it brings all people.
The Nina Starr Braunwald Award, although specifically designated for someone who has contributed to the advancement of women in surgery, is for Dr Organ a symbol of his honor, respect, and passion for all those who choose to pursue and promote surgery as a career. It is with great sadness that we commemorate his passing, but with great honor, respect, and passion that we celebrate his life.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2692 - December 09, 2011 - ISSN 1539-5065 2 of 4
As if Wal-Mart wasn't tough enough to compete with, brick-and mortar retailers have found themselves competing with more a fearsome competitor in recent years - Amazon.com. Retailers say they are tired of shoppers pulling out mobile devices to check online prices, but tempers reached the boiling point this week after retailers read about Amazon.com's new promotion.
Amazon is encouraging the use of its mobile app by in-store shoppers and on Saturday will give consumers a 5% discount on items purchased through Amazon if they use its Price Check mobile app to compare prices at brick-and mortar retailers (see Wednesday's EcommerceBytes Newsflash story).
The press reported on retailers' reaction to the promotion, from an article in the Telegraph in the UK to a regional television network, which quoted a local bookseller calling the move tacky - "You would think that a company of that size would be willing to just live and let live for small retailers who can't possibly affect them but, no, they want it all."
Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), a trade association of the largest 200 companies in the retail industry, used the controversy to criticize Amazon over the sales tax issue. RILA's executive vice president of public affairs Katherine Lugar said in a statement, "by continuing to evade collecting state sales taxes, Amazon's exploitation of a pre-Internet tax loophole is resulting in a 6-10 percent perceived price advantage over their competitors on Main Street."
Chicago retailer Lesley Tweedie, profiled in EcommerceBytes in October, told the Wall Street Journal's AllThingsD blog she hoped the controversy would raise awareness of the plight of local retail stores and hopes a "buy it where you try it" philosophy will prevail.
But whether retailers like it or not, mobile shopping apps continue to grow in popularity. PriceGrabber, part of Experian, found in a survey of 3500 online shoppers conducted in October that 39% of consumers had shopping-related apps on a smartphone, and of those, 84% planned to use their apps to help save money when purchasing holiday gifts.

Coroner ID's man dead in western Pa. trailer fire
IRWIN -- A coroner has identified a man killed in a western Pennsylvania mobile home fire, where the man's neighbors said he used a wheelchair and oxygen.
The coroner in Westmoreland County identified the dead man as 62-year-old Dale Shields.
An autopsy was scheduled later Tuesday.
Neighbors reported hearing an explosion about the time the fire was reported at 4 a.m. Tuesday.
The coroner confirmed that Shields used oxygen.
The coroner said the investigation to determine how the fire started -- and whether the oxygen played a role -- was continuing.
Shields lived in the Lincoln Mobile Trailer Court in North Huntingdon Township. That's about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, along Route 30.
The highway was closed for about 90 minutes, so fire crews could run hoses across the road.

Shields @ Sabathia
Straily @ Cole – first test for Cole against a top offense, I'll play it safe
Perez @ Britton – same for Britton as Cole… conservatism vs. top offenses
Johnson @ Jimenez – toss-up on Ubaldo but trust is in short supply
Jordan @ Hamels
Quintana @ Verlander – Quintana has upside, but too risky vs. Tigers
Teheran @ Alvarez
Gibson @ Archer – Gibson a toss-up but I'll put him with Cole and Britton
Blanton @ Wood – Blanton is on a tear and Wood is an All-Star!
Cingrani @ W. Peralta – I would've liked Peralta much better vs. the Mets!
Norris @ Wainwright
Nolasco @ Kennedy

Hey Zach:
What do you think of a Josh Reddick second half comeback? Possible or overly hopeful?
I had stashed Pineda in my DL slot, but with him being sent to Triple A and his big league return uncertain, I want to stash another injured pitcher who should be back soon. Should I grab Alexi Ogando or Brandon Beachy?
Would you take Andrus or Asdrubal Cabrera ROS and if you could breakdown the upside on both or either that would be great. It seems like a tough decision to me but maybe I am overthinking this.
10T H2H daily 15×15 dynasty, in 1st so boldly future planned stashing young talent w/o regard to position vs roster. This allowed protected stat gathering evaluation but it's time to reconcile. Roster became "over" by 3 as Harper and Price (DL) and Wheeler (Reserve slot) are all "real life" active now. Trades declined; TO OPEN 3 ROSTER SLOTS are the least bad drop choices for a dynasty team Profar (Texas limbo), Hamilton (age), Masterson (2nd half regression?) or one of the "newbies" Cole, Cingrani, Wheeler? Would you instead dump one closer since they are the most volatile? Your thoughts please, thanks…had to 911 to 411… too many sleepless nights – RK
Roster – 1B Fielder (ALT; A. Craig), 2B Kipnis (Kinsler, Profar,Gyorko DL), 3B Miguel Cabrera (Machado), SS Alexei Ramirez
OF; Trout, Puig, Stanton, Hamilton, Holliday, D. Brown, Wil Myers, Harper (Non active reserve Oscar Taveras)
SP; Wainwright, Strasburg, Moore, Medlen, Price , Masterson, Gerrit Cole, Cingrani, Wheeler (Non active reserve Dylan Bundy who I will likely drop for M. Wacha)
RP; Rafael Soriano, Casey Janssen, Glen Perkins.
Hi Big Z, my rotation has underperformed all year, and wondering if you could help me out.
Heres my arms:
Bailey, Price, Gio, Hamels, Latos, Leake, Fister, Turner, Kluber, Peavy.
I always seem to pitch some mid tier guys for their stinkers, and miss their dominant ones (like Bailey…yup missed the no-no). Should I just pickmy best 6/7 guys and start them every time out? Or maybe pitch my best guys every time out but pick matchups for the rest of them, if so who's the cutoff point?. It's really starting to pee me off! I have the starters to be competitive just cant get the results outta them.
Do you think Francoeur is a good add if I drop Will Venable? NL only league
You guys need to always say bench Nolasco, meaning to start him. Haha.

LAS VEGAS — From Grand Rapids to Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather's journey to 45-0 proved to be a memorable one.
Mayweather defeated Saul "Canelo" Alvarez at MGM Grand on Saturday night, handing Alvarez his first loss and remaining atop boxing's pound-for-pound perch.
Mayweather and Alvarez took part in the biggest prefight promotion in boxing history. The $2.1 million price tag included an 11-city tour, which included a stop in Mayweather's hometown of Grand Rapids.
Mayweather received a record base purse of $41.5 million for the fight, and his earnings should rise once the pay-per-view profits start rolling in.
This was the second of his six-fight deal with Showtime. He expects to fight again in May 2014, likely May 3 against an opponent to be determined.
From training sessions in the gym to the final press conference in Las Vegas, then the weigh-in and finally the fight itself, MLive.com has documented it all.
So, check out a gallery above of out favorite images from the Alvarez fight.

Wonderful story!
I've been casually viewing this site for awhile but until today I never felt the need to share my opinion. Today, however, was different. My brother was diagnosed with leukemia while playing junior hockey in Saskatchewan earlier this year and he had a bone marrow transplant a couple months ago in Calgary (he's had to live there for the last several months due to the lack of facilities in Sask.). We have been die-hard Red Wings fans since we were really young and it's been a dream of ours to someday watch a game at the Joe but today he experienced the next best thing. Mike Babcock gave him a call this morning and invited him to the Wings practice in Calgary and invited him to meet all of the Wings. Every single Red Wing took the time to not only introduce themselves but genuinely get to know him. He was encouraged by Dats and Zets to stick around for practice prep and to come back after practice for some autographs. Ken Holland offered him tickets for tomorrow's game and Babs invited him back tomorrow to once again hang out with the Wings after their morning skate. For a kid who's been through a lot in recent months, he was on cloud nine today. The Wings have always been my favorite team but today they turned it up a notch. I was absolutely blown away by everything today and I think it's safe to say we all cheer for one of the classiest organizations in the NHL .

FRANKENMUTH, MI — Paul T. Butterfield, father of the fallen state trooper who was killed in the line of duty Sept. 9, 2013, has died.
Pat Butterfield, said her husband died at 3 p.m. Friday, May 16, at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor from complications with leukemia. A resident of Frankenmuth, Paul T. Butterfield was 67.
Butterfield was a retired Michigan State Police trooper. His son, Paul K Butterfield, 43, followed his father's career path. The son was killed when he was shot in the head without warning or provocation after he pulled over Eric John Knysz has his wife, Sarah Renee Knysz, for a traffic stop around 6:20 p.m. Sept. 9 in Mason County.
Before Knysz's trial, Butterfield said, "I was diagnosed with leukemia July 5th. I thought that was the worst thing that happened to me in my whole life. Then Paul was killed
"Leukemia doesn't even hold a candle to his death."
Paul T. Butterfield could be seen wearing a protective mask around his nose and mouth in court for Knysz's trial and conviction.
"It gets very emotional to me," Butterfield said in February. "You're not supposed to lose your child before you. It's just been heartache. I'd like to get over it, but I don't see how I ever can. I feel so bad."
Pat Butterfield said funeral arrangements are not yet finalized.
Knysz hanged himself at the Charles E. Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson, four days after he was transported there from the Mason County Jail to begin serving a life sentence in April.

FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- Buffalo soldiers. They're sometimes called America's "forgotten" military heroes. And while their history may not be well known, their legacy has left a lasting imprint on this country.
If you're looking for a picture to match the military's "Army Strong" motto, look no further than Fort Huachuca.
Whether training soldiers, defending against cyber attacks, or testing unmanned aerial systems, Fort Huachuca displays the spirit of America's military might.
Tucked away at the base of the Huachuca Mountains in the Southeast Arizona desert, the post includes a chapter that cements its place in U.S. history.
It's a chapter that centers on a band of black troops called the Buffalo Soldiers.
Slaves to Soldiers
"They're obviously a very important chapter of our black history," Tanja Linton, with Fort Huachuca's Office of Public Affairs, said. "But more importantly, they're a part of our American history."
After the Civil War, Congress established several all-black regiments to build up America's peacetime forces.
Their primary mission was to fight and escort Native American tribes to reservations and to explore, map, and defend regions of the western frontier.
One volunteer group of retired troops travels around the Washington, D.C. area sharing the history of the Buffalo Soldiers. Take a look at the 9th and 10th Calvary in action by clicking the video below.
Because they fought with valor, rival Native Americans compared them to buffalo, which they considered a sacred animal.
From the Indian Wars to Korean conflict, Buffalo Soldiers filtered through Fort Huachuca, the only place where all four historic regiments served tours of duty.Today, almost anywhere you turn the military site serves as a reminder of the their legacy. Whether it's a street name, a plaza, or the fort's museum, their story is being told.
Retired U.S. Army veterans Thomas Stoney and Harlan Bradford revisit their old post often to give public tours and to share the history of Buffalo Soldiers at Fort Huachuca.
Donning replicas of the Buffalo Soldier uniform, they pay homage to those heroes and question how they managed to fight for a country where they were denied equal rights.
"I wonder if I could have soldiered like that … knowing when I get back and go to town, I'm not going to be welcomed by the people I'm protecting," Bradford said.
In an answer to his own question, the retired sergeant major replied, "There's something spiritual in there."
'Spiritual Steel and Concrete'
Chaplain Louis A. Carter, the only black chaplain to serve with all four historic black regiments, played a vital role in the spiritual lives of Buffalo Soldiers.
Col. Carter helped his men become professional soldiers by instituting literacy programs, a debate club, and making sure each soldier sent a letter home in time for Mother's Day.
Seventy years after Carter's death, Fort Huachuca has another black garrison chaplain: Col. Ken Revell.
Revell said he's grateful to pioneers, like Carter, who paved a path for him to answer his ministry and military calling.
"Our mission is really to pour spiritual steel and concrete within our soldiers," he said.
Revell said he believes chaplains continue to be a forceful presence, especially as the military braces for major budget cuts, winds down from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and deals with the physical, emotional, and spiritual after effects of more than 10 years of fighting.
He summed up their duty in three objectives: "To nurture the living, care for the wounded, and to honor the fallen."
"If a chaplain can get at those three things, and it takes a great deal of prayer, he will be a long way into helping the kingdom of God to come to people and a long way to bringing soldiers to God and God to soldiers," Revell said.
Modern-day trailblazers, like Brig. Gen. Frederick Henry, know that it wouldn't be possible to rise through the ranks if not for the former slaves who became soldiers. He's also quick to point out that those soldiers didn't do it alone.
"If it were not for President Harry S. Truman, and if it were not for the desegregation of the Armed Forces, my opportunities may have never come to fruition," Henry said.
The Legacy Lives On
Today's Army, and the military community at large, mirror society in a way the first Buffalo Soldiers might have never imagined.
Currently, there are more than 240,000 black Americans who comprise about 17 percent of the Army's total population. About 10,000 are officers.
Despite generations of change, some things remain the same -- like the commitment to serve. It's reflected each day on the battlefield and on the home front.
At the close of each day, a select group of Fort Huachuca soldiers lowers the flag with precision and care.
The solemn ritual demonstrates how today's U.S. Army and the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers are wrapped together in the fabric of America, telling a story of patriotism, courage, and honor.

COLUMBIA For eight straight Republican presidential primaries, the rule in this state has been simple: Win or go home.
South Carolina has always been the GOP establishment's fire wall in presidential politics, where insurgents go to die, where the Empire strikes back, where the plucky candidate who enjoyed a brief breakout moment in the snows of New Hampshire or Iowa becomes a mere footnote in someone else's march to the nomination.
All that, however, was before the anti-establishment forces shredded the Republican Party's old playbook and perhaps nowhere as noticeably as in this state, which hosts the first presidential debate in May and the 'first in the South' primary in February.
Changing times
Nikki Haley, an Indian American, last year became the state's first woman or ethnic minority to be elected governor.
Haley beat better-known and better-financed opponents in a heated Republican primary even as she denied charges that she had had an affair with a conservative blogger.
That race proved that politics in South Carolina is still a muddy business. But it also seemed to prove that the established rules of engagement hiring powerful consultants, scooping up big endorsements, raising gobs of cash, blanketing the airwaves with ads and mounting whispering campaigns don't have the same power they once did.
'Any candidate that comes into South Carolina with any preconceived idea of how to win here will be in for a rude awakening,' Haley said in a recent interview.
Although the fervor that powered Haley to the governor's mansion remains, what has gone missing is a potential presidential candidate who appears able to harness it.
Sightings of potential front-runners, such as Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, have been scarce, while most of the newcomers are only just starting to tiptoe into the state.
'These candidates, it is their job to get people excited, it is their job to get people to care,' Haley said. 'We have not seen that yet in South Carolina.'
Activists and party leaders have been no more impressed.
'I've got problems with Romney because of Obamacare,' said activist Pat Ryan, 65, a retired nurse in Charleston. 'Palin is good as a thorn in the side but not presidential material. Gingrich is philosophical, learned, but I don't know if he can carry through. Huckabee has grown on me, but he is too conciliatory. But I can't believe that the choices out there are the only ones. There have to be some more people out there. It's going to take time to see who comes out of the woodwork.'
New candidates
The one potential candidate who seems to have come out of the woodwork with some momentum is Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Fresh off the House floor and a debate over spending cuts, Bachmann was greeted at a recent event with raucous applause and several standing ovations during her 40-minute speech. Upstate Republicans, who tend be of the conservative Bob Jones University variety, were still buzzing about her at an event featuring fellow potential candidate Rick Santorum days later.
On one of his recent trips, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour told an audience that if the 2012 race is all about drawing contrasts, then there's nobody more different from Obama than he is. But Barbour's Bubba bona fides could actually work against him here, and in other Southern states, where the phrase 'thank God for Mississippi' isn't a compliment.
Gingrich, who announced in neighboring Georgia that he was exploring a run, will head to the Greenville County Republican Women's Club to speak this month.
Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, swung through on a book tour last week, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, absent from the state since last summer, made a return Wednesday.
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, has practically moved to South Carolina, the joke goes he's made 11 trips over the past 18 months and is the only one following the 'come early, come often' rule of South Carolina politics.
'Everybody has just about been here, doing a little courting, not asking anybody to go steady yet,' said Barry Wynn, the former chairman of the South Carolina Republican party and the finance director of President George W. Bush's reelection campaign. 'People are looking for somebody new instead of recycling who came in second last time. The feeling is: Isn't there someone who could take on Obama with no baggage?'
Some strategists and activists are waiting to see not so much what the candidates do but what Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., does. He backed Romney in 2008, and with credibility among the grass roots and the establishment, he is likely to be a factor in 2012. He tossed an olive branch to Romney on health care recently.
'Nobody is swooning over Romney, but if he had the tail wind of a Jim DeMint endorsement, that would make him the winner,' Wynn said.
David Woodard, a professor at Clemson University, thinks the old South Carolina will reassert itself before all is said and done.
'The tea party was a novelty in 2008. It won't be in 2012,' Woodard said. 'If you look back at past insurgent movements, they just hit a dam in South Carolina. We'll have to wait and see.'
