NEW ORLEANS (Nov. 19, 2007) - The World's Largest Hotel Chain® has teamed with the NBA's New Orleans Hornets to put books in the hands of Gulf South children affected by Hurricane Katrina. Today, Best Western International announced a major sponsorship of the Hornets' Bookmobile, a traveling library that will visit more than 150 schools and deliver 30,000 books this season.
The sponsorship has two components. A two-year $110,000 commitment will help fund the overall program. In addition, Best Western International has pledged $100,000 to stock the Bookmobile. Best Western hotel owners and headquarters employees are reaching into their own pockets to purchase books from Scholastic, the world's largest distributor of children's books.
"Best Western's partnership with the Hornets is about investing in children and in the future of communities impacted by Hurricane Katrina," said David Kong, president and CEO of Best Western International. "Our 2,400 North American hotel owners have a strong track record of giving back, both locally and nationally. Our support of the Bookmobile extends this philosophy."
"Best Western International is one of the world's leading brands, and we share their passion for helping New Orleans return to its rightful place among the world's great event cities," said Hornets Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and Broadcast Peter Goldsberry. "We're extremely proud to partner with Best Western, and their support of the Bookmobile will ensure that children across the Gulf South have access to books they can call their own."
The Bookmobile is being maintained in part by Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company. In addition to donating 3,000 books, the company is contributing storage space and free shipping to the project.
The Bookmobile made its 2007-2008 debut last month at the NBA's Read to Achieve tip-off event featuring the Hornets and Sacramento Kings.
Visit Hornets.com for more information about the Bookmobile, presented by Best Western International, or other Read to Achieve initiatives.
Best Western International is THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOTEL CHAIN®, providing marketing, reservations and operational support to 4,200* independently owned and operated member hotels in 80* countries and territories worldwide. Founded in 1946, this iconic brand is host to approximately 400,000 worldwide guests each night. A pioneer within the industry, Best Western is recognized for its distinctive business model and diverse hotel portfolio. The company continues to innovate and enhance both the business and leisure travel experience. For more information or to make a reservation, please visit www.bestwestern.com.
*Numbers are approximate and can fluctuate.
With passion, purpose and pride the New Orleans Hornets have returned home full-time to the New Orleans Arena for the 2007-08 season. Led by 2006 T-Mobile Rookie of the Year Chris Paul and a talented cast of players, the Hornets look to reach the playoffs this season in the NBA¿s ultra-competitive Western Conference. For more information on the Hornets please visit Hornets.com.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Collage/Mixed Media
|Pen & Ink
|Plein Air
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. I made a sketch from a reference photo taken at our family beach outing on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I then used waterproof ink and nib/ bamboo pen to outline the pencil sketch. I applied a masking fluid on the areas of the sketch that I wanted to keep white, then applied a wash of watercolour.
What are you most proud of? Being able to capture the perspective and groups of people in the background.
Great picture!
Lovely picture!
So much about this that I like - the postures of the swimmers/waders ring true - can almost feel them shivering - best of all is where you placed the horizon line - the deep blue drawing us into the water - simple gestures but very evocative - I like looking over the little girls shoulder - can almost feel the water swirling away as the sand buries her feet - lots of movement - a composition I could look at for a long time
Also in this composition it works to have the girl facing away from us - it would feel very different if she were facing us - not as powerful - just the opposite of Matt's composite drawing but similar in that the main figure directs our eye - makes one realize how much feeling can be created with simple lines and how integral composition is -
Thanks Shnugs!

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has praised Philadelphia's Mastery Charter Schools for turning around once-troubled district schools.
President Obama has given the nonprofit a shout-out for dramatically boosting test scores and curbing school violence.
What could top that?
And what could beat even that?
One million bucks.
On her show's Monday broadcast, the TV diva recognized Mastery for outstanding work in educating Philadelphia students, then announced a $1 million grant.
Taped Sept. 9 in Chicago, the show focused on school reform and the new education documentary Waiting for "Superman" by Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth. Six charter networks from across the country were featured, and each received $1 million from the Angel Network, a philanthropy that Oprah Winfrey founded in 1997 with contributions from viewers.

Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record has this from Henrik Lundqvist on team expectations this year following the acquisition of Brad Richards…
"We should have higher expectations than last year," Lundqvist said. "I think we're a better team now than last year."
…as I've said, as soon as the Rangers signed Richards they went from a rebuilding mode to a win now mode. So get ready Blueshirts fans, if everything breaks right we could be in for a fun few years coming up.

FTC alleges Snapchat deceived its customers
NEW YORK - Snapchat has agreed to settle with the Federal Trade Commission over charges that it deceived customers about the disappearing nature of messages sent through its service and that it collected users' contacts without telling them or asking permission.
Snapchat is a popular mobile messaging app that lets people send photos, videos and messages that disappear in a few seconds. The FTC said Snapchat misled users about its data collection methods and failed to tell users that others could save their messages without their knowledge. Snapchat said it has addressed many of the issues.
Consumer borrowings rose by $17.5B in March
WASHINGTON - Consumers increased their borrowing in March by the largest amount in more than a year, using credit cards and taking out more auto and student loans.
Consumer borrowing increased $17.5 billion in March, up from a gain of $13 billion in February, the Federal Reserve said. It was the biggest monthly increase since February 2013.
Gains in borrowing are seen as an encouraging sign that people are more confident and willing to take on debt.
Burger King is offering 'Burgers at Breakfast'
MIAMI - Burger King has some new additions to its breakfast menu - its flame-broiled burgers. The chain says its "Burgers at Breakfast" includes Whoppers, Cheeseburgers and Big King sandwiches, as well as its chicken sandwich, french fries and apple pie, in addition to the normal breakfast menu.
More than 5,000 locations will participate in the program.
Fannie Mae has profit of $5.3B; will pay $5.7B
WASHINGTON - Fannie Mae posted net income of $5.3 billion from January through March, its ninth straight profitable quarter, as the housing market continued to heal.
Fannie also said Thursday it will pay a dividend of $5.7 billion to the Treasury next month. Fannie has more than fully repaid the $116 billion it received from taxpayers.
Lower costs, sales gains at Wendy's boost profit
NEW YORK - Wendy's reported a sharply higher profit for its first quarter Thursday as the burger chain saw lower costs and improved sales.
The results beat Wall Street estimates. Sales at established company-owned restaurants climbed 1.3 percent as a result of product promotions and improved traffic at remodeled locations, Wendy's said.
Toyota quarterly profit down as R&D costs rise
TOKYO - Toyota's fourth quarter profit dropped slightly despite higher vehicle sales and a weak yen as it spent more on research and development. Toyota Motor Corp. reported Thursday a January-March profit of $2.9 billion.
Average mortgage rate slips to 4.21% for week
WASHINGTON - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages this week fell for a second straight week as the spring home-buying season has gotten off to a slow start.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for the 30-year loan declined to 4.21 percent from 4.29 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage eased to 3.32 percent from 3.38 percent.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Steelcase (NYSE: SCS ) will soon have a new CEO.
On Thursday, Steelcase announced that it has appointed current President and Chief Operating Officer James P. Keane to take over the top spot on the first day of the company's next fiscal year, when sitting Chief Executive Officer James P. Hackett retires from office in March 2014. Hackett intends to serve as the company's vice chairman for one year and to remain on the board of directors.
A 16-year veteran of the office furniture manufacturer, Keane has in the past led research and development, corporate strategy, information technology, and finance efforts at Steelcase, before being promoted to responsibility for the entire Steelcase brand in North America in 2006. In a separate filing with the SEC, Steelcase disclosed that it intends to compensate Keane in his new post with an annual base salary of $800,000, plus:
- an annual bonus targeting 90% of base salary, beginning in fiscal 2015;
- 150,000 restricted stock units vesting over three years, which were awarded him on Wednesday; and
- a long-term incentive award, also beginning in fiscal 2015, consisting of a mix of restricted stock units and performance units worth "approximately 250%" of his annual base salary in aggregate.
Keane will be expected to acquire and retain company shares sufficient to equal at least five times his annual base salary during his term in office as CEO.

I second the survey emotion. No OS is perfect but WP is the only one that never tempted me to throw the phone into a brick wall. Android, though much improved is still way too buggy as apps crash and burn way too often and every time they release an OS update to fix something, it almost always breaks something else. iOS is great, but it's not the second coming as the touchscreen is not as responsive as WP and the interface is kinda dull. Blackberry 7 is a joke but I can't wait to give BB10 a test drive and see how it fares.

I'm glad to hear that Windows Phone is getting the attention of consumers. Hopefully, this news will encourage app developers to develop their apps for Windows Phone as well. I would love to use Windows Phone, however, the only reasons I don't is because: 1) Sprint doesn't have any Windows Phones yet (but will carry Firefox OS phones?) and 2) Certain apps aren't avilable on Windows Phone...yet. All in all, this is great for Windows Phone and especially Nokia, the driving force behind WP!

Tiago returns and a new Spur survives the curse as the road trip begins
SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs failed to adequately warn Shannon Brown of just what he was getting himself into, apparently. With Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green sitting with broken hands and Manu Ginobili rehabbing his strained hamstring, the newest Spur got lucky to finish the game with only a jammed finger and a poke in the eye; and San Antonio may have been fortunate to slip out of the AT&T Center with a win.
Tim Duncan missed two free throws with 12 seconds remaining that would've put San Antonio up by three, but Rudy Gay missed a 12-footer on the baseline with three seconds remaining and the Spurs grabbed the defensive rebound to thwart the Kings' game-winning opportunity in a 95-93 win. It stopped the team's recent three-game slide and sent them out on the nine-game Rodeo Road Trip on a good note; and despite the two missed free throws late in the game, Duncan was brilliant.
The All-Star 'snub'
that he absolutely couldn't care less about must have sent Duncan into revenge mode it didn't at all I'm kidding as the Spurs' cornerstone filled the box score against the Boogie-less Kings with 23 points, 17 boards, five assists and two blocks in just 32 minutes. With so much production sitting in street clothes behind the bench, this was a vintage performance the team needed badly.
And perhaps it's not a coincidence this big game came with the return of Tiago Splitter. The Spurs' starting center played in his first game action since Jan. 4 and he emerged no worse for wear afterward. His return took so much of that extra defensive pressure off Duncan's shoulders in the 16 minutes Splitter played against Sacramento.
"It was great to be back on the court with the guys. I wasn't that aggressive on offense, but I tried to help the guys on defense with the coverage and (back-side) helps," Splitter said. "Most importantly we won, so I'm happy."
Activating Splitter was the first step in a slow process that will hopefully culminate with a fully healthy team. Tiago missed nearly four weeks with the injury that kicked off this awful recent strain, but now he's back on the court and Danny Green isn't too far behind. If all goes well, Green could be back in action in the next week or two, Kawhi Leonard would follow fairly soon thereafter and Manu Ginobili may be ready to go sometime after the road trip.
"Yeah, they're trickling in, so it's great — great to have bodies back out there," Duncan said. "Great to start getting everybody healthy. They can start getting their rhythm back and their wind back."
But in the mean time, they still need a lot of help. Production on both sides of the ball had begun to plummet and depth on the wing had become a major issue. Splitter's presence is going to help drastically, yet they still need a boost with all the bumps, bruises and breaks still affecting this roster. Enter Brown on a 10-day contract. The eighth-year pro made it to San Antonio on Friday night and got a workout in with the team, and the next day he was starting for the current second-place team out West.
But as Pop said afterward, the Spurs have a big void of minutes that need to be filled, so he gave Brown the nod. One aspect a lot of casual fans struggle with is why coaches don't automatically start their best players when the normal starters are injured; there was a small backlash from people wondering why the recently waived Othyus Jeffers and Nando De Colo started recently against the Bulls, a defendable decision.
It's not about who starts the game, but who finishes it, and many of the Spurs' best players who are still healthy come off the bench in normal situations. Popovich needs to maintain his players' roles as best he can, and he also needs to ensure his guys still have a last burst of energy in the tank in the fourth quarter. San Antonio needs to find ways to utilize the depth they do have.
"Well, we need minutes. We have to use those minutes so that those guys who know the system can be out there at the end of the game, otherwise they are going to be too tired," Popovich said. "(Brown) gave us good minutes so we could get everybody else in."
And if that's the least he can do at this point, it helps. Every little bit does. But Brown did everything within his power to follow suit in the Spurs' locker room and get hurt. Early in the third quarter he jammed his finger when swiping at the ball while defending Marcus Thornton, and later Gay dove for a loose ball around the San Antonio bench and knocked Brown right in the eye. Spurs trainer Will Sevening wrapped Brown's finger in the locker room after the game, and Brown said he would be getting his eye — which was very red — checked by a specialist in the morning.
"Just playing defense — pressured the ball and ended up bending (his finger) backwards and getting it stuck. It's just a jam," Brown said. "I'm gonna wrap it up and keep playing. Then (Rudy Gay) he came over, dove for the ball by the bench and poked me right in the eye."
When asked if he was aware of the plague of injuries that has befallen this team, he started laughing at the two injuries he suffered in only 13 minutes of action.
"I've been keeping up (with the Spurs' injuries)," Brown said with a grin. "Hopefully I can bring a different vibe to this place. I'll take two and keep moving."
Brown made it to town on Friday and worked out with the team that night. The next day he was in the starting lineup. San Antonio is known for its complex offense, so a single morning practice and run-through isn't a significant-enough cram session to provide anything more than a facile overview. But Brown said the Spurs' locker-room environment makes the transition relatively smooth.
"It's easy with these type of guys. Everybody is so helpful," he said. "Everywhere I go, they let me know if 'I need you to do this or that, or if I can help you with a play,' so it's pretty easy to catch on. For the most part, I had all our sets down. I might have missed one or two, but it was a good pace out there."
The dumpster flame that had threatened to become a full-fledged inferno is slowly but surely being extinguished in San Antonio, and a closely-fought victory over the Kings might give this team the spark it needs. The defense was very good for the first time in a while, Splitter returned to the court for the first time in nearly a month, and Brown had an early chance to be introduced in the starting lineup for the silver and black.
An injury-ravaged team that's about to head out of town for most of February entering the night on a three-game losing streak — none of it phased him.
"Throw me in the fire and see if I burn."
In a month full of injury reports, that would definitely be the strangest one.

Fort Campbell soldier Brent Burke is due in court for an Article 32 hearing in a couple of weeks, according to a base spokesman.
An Article 32 hearing is a military hearing similar to a preliminary hearing.
Initially the hearing was expected to be held Tuesday, but it will now be delayed as a new investigating officer has been assigned to the case.
The Army has charged Burke with premeditated murder in the 2007 slayings of his estranged wife, Tracy, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, in Comer?s Rineyville home.
Burke is currently being held at the Christian County jail.
Last month, a Hardin County judge dropped charges against Burke after two mistrials and two hung juries in the case.

Very, Very good. Made these for dinner last eve, Good comfort food for a stormy day. Everyone thought it was delicious. We love Chicken and dumplings. Served it with a green salad and baked apples.
I did not use any wine. I did however find cream of chicken AND mushroom soup by Campbell (I'd never seen that before) so I used two cans of that. I also used leeks and a bag of small frozen pearl onions and added fresh mushrooms. Unforunately I did not follow the instructions very well so the dumplings turned out kind of gummy ( I added everything in and then the dumplings so they had no room to cook). So I used one can for dumplings and just used the second can as biscuits. Very lovely and tasty chicken and dumplings (I used 10 skinless boneless thighs and three skinless boneless breasts).WONDERFUL FLAVOR in spite of my errors I will be making this one again. Thanks!
I really liked this recipe. I am not a chicken and dumpling expert. I have had it only a few times. This was easy, tasty and made a huge pot of food! I did not add the wine and I boiled the chicken with two bouillon cubes. Added pepper but otherwise followed directions exactly. Was very easy. Thanks for the new staple recipe for our house!

33 year old Rosamond McNeil died this week of a gunshot to her back. Her killer? Her abusive ex-boyfriend she tried many times to leave. The day before she died, she was granted a restraining order against her former boyfriend and father of her two children ages 7 and 9. The CEO of Harbor House, Orange County Florida's Domestic Violence shelter, Carol Wick, stated in the Orlando Sentinel "The most dangerous time for a victim of domestic violence is when they are leaving the batterer." Read the complete story here: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-michael-alleyne-first-appearance-20111005,0,3643357.story
(While some batterers are female, the overwhelming majority of batterers are male, and this article will refer to victims as "she" and batterers as "he.")
What can a person do when faced with domestic violence? If you are dating someone and haven't developed a deeper relationship yet, pay attention to how quickly your boyfriend becomes attached to you and to things your boyfriend says such as "I can't live without you."
Hollywood does its share in portraying stalking and potentially abusive behavior by men as "romantic," leading young ladies to think that behavior is "good" or to be idealized. It's not!
More Videos on This Topic
Tips to avoid potentially violent relationships:
1. Pay attention to your new partner's language; warning signs are phrases like "I can't live without you," or "I'd die without you," or "If I can't have you, no one else can."
2. Stalking behavior; if you new partner seems to have an uncanny knowledge of where you've been and what you've been doing if you haven't told him.
3. Irrational or explosive anger: Within 6-12 months of dating, if you see his anger, this may be a red flag. A person cannot hide behind a facade for more than 6-12 months of dating. If you observe bouts of irrational anger before 6 months time, that's a big red flag. Pay attention to his temper and how he treats others while angry. If he treats others with anger and violence, it'll be you eventually.
4. If he throws an object at you, pushes you, or hits you, end the relationship. He's crossed the line of mutual respect and if he does any of those things while dating, his violence will only escalate towards you.
5. Know there is help available should you choose to leave an abusive relationship. Check for local Domestic Violence resources, they are there to help you. You are free to call them and ask questions. Two resources in Orlando are Harbor House http://www.harborhousefl.com/ and Seminole County's Safehouse of Seminole http://www.safehouseofseminole.org/.
Should you continue to have questions or don't know what to do, you can reach out to friends, clergymen, or professionals such as a counselor. Remember, there are many people who can help you, you don't need to suffer alone.

For the most part respecing just helps people save time. It is not difficult to lvl a new character. I also beleive it will add some interesting dimensions to dueling. Lets say you are fighting a frenzy barb. You have your counter attacks. Then all of the sudden he goes to town, respecs, leap attack. Woah didnt see that coming! It will also promote more experimentation. I think we will see less cookie cutter builds if we have respeccing. Since people will be free to check out other builds without thinking, oh damn if i make this ill have to make another one because i dont know if it will be good or not.
So my opinion, free respecs. Skill AND stat.

18:40 2 Stones are destroyed. One is Mephisto and one is Diablo.
He did have a piece of Baal's intended soulstone, and Baal killed him and took it. We never got to see what happened to that shard, but we know that Baal's container (tal-rasha) died in the worldstone chamber.
Exactly, Marius never had Diablos though. That is something that bothers me though. We do the hellforge quest and based on the video we destroy Mephistos and Diablos soulstone. In no point do we actually acquire Diablos soultone. We take mephistos when we kill him, and then we immediately go destroy it. After the hellforge quest we go and encounter diablo. But before that we never do so there is no way the character should have had it to begin with. Tyrael only gives Marius one soulstone and it is clearly baals since it is the ony that he has in the cinematic you posted. It shows Marius and he says that he never whent into hell.
Aug 24, 2009Marius did not have Diablos stone, he had Baals stone then Baal killed him and took it.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Aug 24, 2009Being that the soulstones are just containers i dont understand why breaking them in the hell forge would destroy their essence. Also the fact that the Prime Evils still had the power to corrupt others and to gain influence shows how ineffective the soulstones really were since Izual had told the Prime Evils how to corrupt them. Diablo and Baal were able to return to their physical forms even while they were supposedly trapped within the soulstones, and im not sure if it was the same case with Mephisto or it was just that he took over the body of the Que-Hegan of the church of the Zakarum and what we saw was the corruption of his body seeing that it was so human like.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
So just from those facts i think that the soulstones never really worked or did very little. If anything from the cinematic it appeared that Baal used his soulstone shard to increase his power.
On the other hand, i just had this thought while writting this. Being that Diablo had the same appearance in Diablo 1 and 2 in which both cases he still had his own soulstone and now that he does not his appearance has changed It could be that the forms that we saw (in all Prime Evils) while they had their soulstones are not trully their original forms and its just a manifestation of their essense within a host. So as i said before A shard of mephistos soulstone was put into the palms of the Council in Travincal, the biggest piece in the Que-Hegan. Diablost soulstone was in the wanderer and Baals stone was stuck within Tal-Rasha. So this makes me beleive we only killed the bodies of the hosts with just some sort of temporary physical manifestation created by the spiritual essense of the prime evils.

Sept 15, 2005 | After a few years of strong adoption, the booming electronic patient diary industry finally has something to worry about. The FDA is planning to clarify the degree to which existing diary technologies are (or are not) encroaching on data-management duties formally assigned to clinical investigators. That guidance is in the works, with no known timetable.
Much sooner, perhaps this fall, the FDA will release a new "guidance" document about general aspects of patient diaries in paper and electronic media, says Laurie Burke, director of study end points and label development in the Office of New Drugs in the CDER branch of the FDA. "We're going to look carefully to make sure that any data collected by paper diaries is valid. We are being a little more vocal and we are educating our reviewers to be a little more vigilant than perhaps we've been in the past."
FDA 'More Vigilant'The vendors who supply the $1,500 diary devices and program them to collect patient experiences all have the same refrain. Digital systems, they argue, are far more secure than paper diaries. But some observers point out that CFR 21 Part 11 does include language that investigators, and only investigators, maintain and control their data. In the new world of electronic patient diaries, that is not the case. Patients type data into a Palm or cell phone, which relays it to a server, where it is examined by the patients' personal physicians.
For David Iberson-Hurst, a British consultant and programmer, it is hardly incidental that a technology supplier maintains the data. "That's inconsistent with the regulations the way they are currently framed," says Iberson-Hurst. "Vendors are being paid by the sponsor, but everything they're doing is the responsibility of the investigator. The vendor is very much doing investigator responsibilities."
Iberson-Hurst is a longtime volunteer for the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC). He volunteered to marshal a variety of expert opinions into a single position paper that was welcomed by top brass at the FDA. He himself became a target for scorn as the initial drafts of the document were circulated in the industry. But it's clear that the CDISC and the FDA both agree there is a gap between present industry practices and the letter of the law. How the FDA will address that gap is the wild card.
The vendor community appears to have been largely unaware of Iberson-Hurst's efforts until the middle of 2005. "Some of our customers were really furious about it," says Timo Ahopelto, worldwide VP of operations and co-founder of CRF.
CRF's Greg Gogates, VP for quality management and regulatory affairs, says the initial CDISC position paper had so many errors that it may not be useful to the FDA. "I think it's going to be ignored unless the FDA tells us not to," says Gogates, who notes the FDA did not consult a diary task force at the Drug Information Association. He sounds as concerned about the FDA's approach as CDISC's. "They seem to be doing it in a vacuum, excluding the people who have the most experience and the most to say about it."
At a basic level, Gogates says, concern about the accuracy of patient diaries is misplaced. Clinical trial sponsors have little or no access to the data. In the end, even clinicians are not doing much data "cleaning" - an audited practice of correcting minor errors. "There is not a lot of data cleaning that can be done," says Gogates. "If someone says 'I defecated four times,' how is anyone going to verify that that is right or wrong?"
At PHT, another diary company, there is less angst about the FDA's conduct but equal vigilance. Co-founder and chief scientific officer Stephen Raymond maintains that the investigator's role has not been usurped. It's evolved to reflect the new tools. Just as online banking allows depositors to "maintain" their checking accounts online, he says, diary firms facilitate the same patient-investigator role that exists in the paper world.
Investigator IssuesSays Raymond: "We act at the sponsor's request to enable or set up a system that allows the investigator to fulfill their regulatory responsibility. In the same way that they would counsel patients to fill in a paper diary, an investigator retains that role and counsels the patients in how to prepare the case history and send the case history over the wire, where the physician is the only person who has the opportunity to maintain the record."
One additional area of ambiguity concerns the legal status of the diary vendors themselves. Basically, in the statute and regulations, they do not exist. Whether to grant them some sort of status as "trusted intermediaries" is, it turns out, a long-running debate in the vendor and regulatory communities.
While that is being sorted out, it's clear that Iberson-Hurst and, more broadly, CDISC have won the FDA's trust as honest interpreters of the law. The industry is watching to see if CDISC standards could be part of a future FDA guidance to provide a method to calm the anxious hearts of sponsors (worried about any disruption to clinical trials regulations) and regulators (worried about an irregular playing field) without angering the people providing the tools (worried about sowing fear, uncertainty, and doubt among customers).

Max Mara pieces made from plastic bottles? It sounds beyond crunchy, but if any label can make it chic, it's the sophisticated Italian casual luxury brand. Working with Saluzzo Yarns, an Italian fabrics company which specializes in environmentally-friendly polyesters, Weekend Max Mara is launching a capsule collection of women's separates made from entirely recycled polyester fibers. The main component of the fabric is old bottles.
Saluzzo directs every aspect of the Newlife fabric creation process, starting with the bottle collection and their low-impact conversion to polyester, before the fiber is spun into yarn. For Max Mara, the new pieces, part of their Spring/Summer 2014 line, demonstrate a substantive commitment to sustainability, and for fashion, of course, this takes recycled bottle clothes out of the Whole Earth Catalog sphere and re-contextualizes them into something that ladies who lunch will actually wear.
Speaking of ladies who lunch, luxe sustainability comes at a price. Max Mara's new line will range from $220 to $700, so here's hoping for a trickle-down effect. The products launched on the 1st of this month and will be available in 1500 Max Mara stores around the world.

Picks and Pans Main: Screen
Now Playing
Sandra Bullock, Ben Chaplin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Pitt
Following fleet on the heels of Panic Room and High Crimes, Murder by Numbers is the last in the trilogy of female-driven thrillers to arrive at megaplexes in recent weeks. It is easily the most ambitious and best of the trio, which isn't to say it is a great movie. But Numbers has plenty on its mind and works overtime to give its characters texture and heft. Bullock, as a flinty police detective, turns in a nicely nuanced performance, and Gosling (Remember the Titans and Showtime's The Believer) shows impressive star potential as a slick teenage murderer she's trying to nail.
Unlike the other two films, Numbers lays its cards on the table at the start. Within a few scenes, director Barbet Schroeder (Single White Female) and screenwriter Tony Gay-ton establish that two privileged high school seniors (Gosling and Pitt), motivated by nothing more than a belief in their own superior intelligence and a desire for sick kicks, have murdered a stranger in a coastal California town. The lead detective on the case, Cassie Mayweather (Bullock), was herself years ago the victim of a brutal crime, which both inspires her on the job and inhibits her socially. What's unknown is how Cassie will crack the case and finally come to terms with her own sad past.
Bullock and Gosling's scenes together as sparring cop and suspect are what give Numbers its spark. Less fearful than some other major stars of showing the flawed sides of a character, Bullock creates a memorably conflicted heroine. And Gosling is a revelation. Not since Sean Penn was commanding attention as criminally inclined antiheroes in the early '80s has there been a young actor with this kind of threatening, charismatic intensity.
Left bobbing in their wake are Chaplin and Pitt. Chaplin fades into the background in the underwritten role of Cassie's new partner, who's unsure whether to trust her hunches. Baby-faced Pitt, portraying the second teen killer, is impressive, but when he and Gosling are onscreen together, there's no contest. (R)
Bottom Line: Intriguing slay ride
The Scorpion King
The Rock, Steven Brand, Kelly Hu, Michael Clarke Duncan, Bernard Hill
The Rock (known to his mother as Dwayne Johnson) has a doozy of an opening line. Materializing out of the night to take on scores of armed rivals, the pro wrestler turned actor, employing his signature expression, cocks one of his eyebrows—the careful shaping and maintenance of which must rival that of Elizabeth Taylor's—and says simply, "Boo!"
Then he leaps into action and doesn't stop fighting for the rest of The Scorpion King, which makes the movie as exhausting to watch as it must have been to film. King's characters are as subtly drawn as the drop-kicking heroes and villains of the World Wrestling Federation, and the plot—The Rock's warrior battles an evil king (Brand) 5,000 years ago—has all the finesse of a smackdown. Though impressive physically, The Rock utters his lines with the expressiveness of dried paste. King—itself spun off from 200l's The Mummy Returns, in which The Rock's Scorpion King had a minor role—ends with the strong hint of a sequel to come. Boo hoo. (PG-13)
Bottom Line: A Rock pile
Dougray Scott, Kate Winslet, Jeremy Northam, Saffron Burrows
It's 1943 and in Bletchley Park, England, hundreds of people are feverishly working on breaking German WWII codes. The best among them is Tom Jericho (Scott), a brilliant mathematician better at relating to figures than to people. When his ex-girlfriend (Burrows) goes missing and is suspected of having been a spy, Jericho investigates with help from a plucky coworker (Winslet). A smart spy thriller coproduced by Mick Jagger, Enigma is chock-full of twists, some of them confusing. The acting is tops throughout, but director Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough), working from Tom Stoppard's silky adaptation of Robert Harris's 1995 novel, lets the pace go slack in places. (R)
Bottom Line: Spy tame
Chelsea Walls
Uma Thurman, Kris Kristofferson
Ever since 1905, New York City's famed Chelsea Hotel has been home to writers (Dylan Thomas), artists (Willem de Kooning) and musicians (Janis Joplin and Sid Vicious, who fatally stabbed girlfriend Nancy Spungen there in 1978). Drawn by its bohemian history, actor Ethan Hawke stayed there when he was new to Manhattan and now, as a director, has set his first feature in its rooms and hallways.
Chelsea Walls visits with various residents of the hotel, concentrating on two poets (Thurman and Rosario Dawson), a novelist (Kristofferson) and a couple of musicians (Robert Sean Leonard and Steve Zahn), none of whom seem headed for happiness. Hawke, along with screenwriter Nicole Burdette, avoids straight narrative, instead attempting to capture his characters through overlapping, fragmentary scenes full of talk and little action. It's slow going. (R)
Bottom Line: We have reservations
First things first: Bill Paxton is not Bill Pullman. At a party last year, Paxton recalls, "I said to Bill, 'I'm flattered when they think I'm you.' Bill replied 'Oh, get the hell out of here' just as this girl came up and thought he was me. And I was standing right there." Mixing up the Everyman actors is understandable, Paxton, 46, figures: "We're both RBI guys. They bring us in to bat in the runner."
Now Paxton is stepping up as a director with the thriller Frailty, in which he also plays a serial killer. "I knew they liked me," he says of his costars, "but I thought, Can I actually direct?" He had done it before. As a 10th grader in Fort Worth, he first picked up a Super 8mm camera to make "pretty bizarre" short films in lieu of writing essays. He hasn't shied from risk since. When he spotted his future wife, British painter Louise Newbury, on a London street in 1982, he followed her onto a bus to chat her up. "All the housewives with their shopping bags watched this thing go down," says Paxton, who lives near L.A. with Louise, 36, and their kids James, 8, and Lydia, 4. "I like to throw myself in the river of fate."
Changing Lanes Green light. An involving drama about the bruising battle of wills between a hotshot lawyer (Ben Affleck) and a salesman (Samuel L. Jackson) after a minor car collision. (R)
Nine Queens An entertaining, tricky tale of two con men trying to pull off a big score, this debut film by Argentinean writer-director Fabián Bielinsky positions him as South America's answer to David Mamet. In Spanish. (R)
The Sweetest Thing Anything but. Gross-out comedy about three sex-loving gals (Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair) on the prowl. Only Applegate shines. (R)
World Traveler Billy Crudup is transcendent in a meandering but well-acted film about a man who abandons his family and hits the road to find himself. Julianne Moore costars. (R)

Blanche Honegger Moyse
Blanche Honegger Moyse (/moʊˈiːz/; September 23, 1909 – February 10, 2011) was a conductor living in Brattleboro, Vermont. She was particularly admired for her devotion to the choral works of Johann Sebastian Bach and her ability to draw deeply moving performances from both amateur and professional musicians. Soprano Arleen Auger has said of her, "I've sung Bach all over the world, often with people who are considered the best, and in my opinion no one is performing Bach any better than Blanche Moyse is doing it in Brattleboro."[1] She had been pointed out by the writer Benjamin Ivry as perhaps having been "classical music's best kept secret."[2] Wall Street Journal critic Greg Sandow said of her performance of Bach's St. John Passion at the age of 89: "Sometimes you hear a concert that sticks with you. For months you think about it, keeping it alive in your mind, unable to banish it merely to memory."[3]
Moyse was born in Geneva, Switzerland, where she began the study of violin at the age of eight. She went on to study with Adolf Busch, and made her debut at the age of 16, when she played the Beethoven violin concerto with l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. She married the pianist and flutist Louis Moyse and, with Moyse's father, flutist Marcel Moyse, formed the award-winning Moyse Trio.
In 1949, the Moyses moved to Marlboro, Vermont at the invitation of Busch and Rudolf Serkin, and helped found the Marlboro Music Festival. Moyse also chaired the music department at Marlboro College for the next 25 years, and founded the Brattleboro Music Center in 1952. Her violin career ended in 1966 with an injury to her bow arm, but she went on to become a much admired conductor of the choral works of Bach. She made her Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 78, conducting the Blanche Moyse Chorale and the Orchestra of St. Luke's in a production of Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and she continued to conduct Bach's major choral works—the Mass in B Minor, the St Matthew Passion and the St John Passion—at annual concerts of the New England Bach Festival well into her 90's. In 2000 Blanche Moyse was awarded the Alfred Nash Patterson Lifetime Achievement Award by Choral Arts New England in recognition of her exceptional contributions to choruses and the appreciation of choral music in New England.
Moyse died at her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, on February 10, 2011 at the age of 101.[4]

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
FRIDAY, June 28 (HealthDay News) -- In 2011 there was a 1 percent decrease in the number of U.S. births, according to a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Joyce A. Martin, M.P.H., from the CDC in Atlanta, and colleagues examined data reported on the birth certificates of the 3.95 million births that occurred in 2011.
The researchers note that there was a 1 percent decrease in the number of births in 2011, to 3,953,590. In addition, the general fertility rate decreased by 1 percent, to 63.2 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years. There was an 8 percent decrease in the teenage birth rate, to 31.3 per 1,000 births. For women in their 20s, birth rates declined, while they remained the same for those aged 30 to 34 years and increased for 35- to 44-year-old women. There was a 2 percent decrease in the total fertility rate, to 1,894 per 1,000 women. There was a decrease noted in the number and rate of births to unmarried women, while the percentage of births to unmarried women remained unchanged (40.7 percent). There was no change in the cesarean delivery rate, which remained at 32.8 percent. For the fifth year the preterm birth rate decreased, to 11.73 percent, and the low birth weight rate decreased slightly to 8.10 percent. There were no significant changes in the rates of twin, triplet, and higher-order multiple births.
"This report presents detailed data on numbers and characteristics of births in 2011, birth and fertility rates, maternal demographic and health characteristics, place and attendant at birth, and infant health characteristics," the authors write.

Suicide attempt thwarted at Erie bayfront hotel
Erie police say a possible suicide attempt at a hotel near Dobbins Landing was thwarted shortly this afternoon.
Police said they were called at about 4 p.m. to the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel, where a man in a wheelchair was threatening to kill himself. The man was found near the entrance to the hotel holding a knife to his throat when police arrived.
Officers were unable to safely disarm him at first, but the man gave up his weapon after he demanded media attention and was allowed to speak to a cameraman from WJET-TV.
Police had dealt with the man earlier in the day after receiving calls that he was stealing candy at Bicentennial Tower at Dobbins Landing.
The man was taken from the scene by EmergyCare and is expected to receive a mental health evaluation and treatment, police said.

What is the best reference for prices on knives? I have a friend who wants to sell her deceased husbands knife collection. She has quite a few CASE sets, commerative knives and various other boxed sets.

May want to head over to http://www.bladeforums.com . They are like the TFL for knives. Should be able to get some good price info from the members over there.
December 27, 2002, 12:01 AM
you can check out the bernard levine forums on www.bladeforums.com and www.knifeforums.com
mr. levine is one of the more knowledgeable knife people in the country and writes regular articles in knifeworld magazine as well as many books. levines guide to knives is considered a very good reference book.... but only buy the 4th edition... bernard has no connection to the 5th edition and the pricing is suspect
he will not do appraisals for free on the web but does offer that service for a fee. if the collection is substantial it may well be worth that.
j. bruce voyles out of chattanooga is the editor of knives illustrated and runs one of the bigger if not the biggest knife related auction services. james (?) parker out of the same city is also a major dealer and i believe he owned case at one time.
also consider ag russell out of arkansas...he is one of the most reputable dealers in the country.
finished ebay auctions can also give a rough estimate
some case knives are worth a lot .... many are not...commeratives are often worth less than people think but only someone really into those knives could tell you
there are so many variations and nuances to that market it would be well worth getting help....

Thanks for the info. My son picked up a book on knife prices just to get a reference and some of them are worth some dough. One Remington knife was out of sight. We'll probably be contacting some appraisers soon. Again thanks for the information.

Putting Moms on a No-Shame DietDeb Rox
Several friends have sent me information about Dara-Lynn Weiss' memoir The Heavy and related Vogue article about putting her daughter on a diet because they've wondered about my reaction to it. I was a heavy child, I am a very heavy adult (my adult sizes have ranged between 14 and 32, many yo-you motions back and forth between the two), and have some heavy thoughts about the whole thing.
Babble's Dara Pettinelli published an interview with Ms. Weiss about her work and the controversy it provoked. It contains this excerpt:
"I dressed down a Starbucks barista when he professed ignorance of the nutrition content of the kids' hot chocolate whose calories are listed as "120-210³ on the menu board: Well, which is it? When he couldn't provide an answer, I dramatically grabbed the drink out of my daughter's hands, poured it into the garbage, and stormed out."
Whoa. The elephant in that particular room has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with an unhinged adult who seems prone to scenes and shame. People pushed back against what appeared in the Vogue article, but Ms. Weiss can't really see why because she only focused on the fact that she means well. (Of course she does. We all do.) In an excerpt from her book she lamented:
I appreciate that the public rushes to judgment to protect a young child, but why did everyone assume that my interactions with her were abusive? If I get testy with a food server, refuse Bea a second dessert, even scrape pasta off her dinner plate because she ate too much for snack those things do not necessarily entail cruelty. They can be, and were, actions taken with love and respect.
Weight and the weight control of women and children especially is a hot-button issue, so of course there is a spectrum of wild opinions in reaction to Ms. Weiss and her fat camp approach to nurturing her daughter. Here's the thing about that: it's really hard to assess the intervention when it's wrapped in a cloak of emotional distress. That's what's so hard about talking about weight. The emotional distress might be the child's, or it might be the adult's. Clearly, if your brain has reframed that Starbucks fit as "getting testy with a food server" you either have a hard time assessing situations (which might include what's going on with your child) or you may lack sufficient self-awareness to know who you have and haven't hurt with your behavior. Obviously people are reacting to the inherent shame in that anecdote. If she displayed a different type of attitude and behavior on behalf of a child who wanted to lose weight, maybe Ms. Weiss would get a different reaction.
Really, if you want to throw a fit in Starbucks because you can't figure out that a calorie range most likely reflects the use of skim vs. whole milk and/or the addition of whipped cream, you probably shouldn't leave your house until you find out what's going on with you. It's a complex world out there, and parenting only makes it more complex, and if that is the type of thing that will put you over the edge, bless your heart.
And bless your child's heart. Because seriously, the real problem here is not weight or nutritional guidance or a fast food nation. If you are the type of person who is going to be histrionic about which calorie amount to punch into Deal-a-Meal abacus after you've already given the hot chocolate to your kid, if you are going to snatch and pour out the food in a self-indulgent scene, you are cuckcoo for Cocoa Puffs in a way no diet (for you OR your kid) is going to fix.
So there's that. Believe me. If every kid with an emotional parent prone to shaming who is unhappy with her weight could only aerobic away the memories of scenes like that, they would. In a cardio-intense heartbeat.
Maybe that's just the type of incediary ancedote you need to include in books to get Vogue articles, though. I do have a reaction to the "should kids be on diets" question prompted by her work, too. I think mine is an informed point of view. I've been on diets since I was 5 or 6. I remember sitting in a nutritionist's office as a grade schooler as she showed me with plastic food the appropriate portion size for a crackers and cheese snack. I earned an very cool apple slicer in a calorie game from my next nutritionist. I've been fat, not as fat, and then fatter…rinse and repeat.
My experience was that early diets didn't "work." But neither you nor I can really assess that outcome on its own. We'd have to factor in many heriditary, health, environmental, childhood abuse, emotional, and socio-economic factors before coming close to an answer or an understanding. Or maybe they did help. I can, in fact, read a Starbucks menu, for example, without losing my temper. But as with Ms. Weiss' daughter, we'd have to know HOW my mom tried to intervene, not only THAT she tried to intervene. It's too bad, but for most people, weight loss at first seems like it's a question of math, but then again it's not. My real experience says weight, eating disorders, successful weight loss stories, our current social nutrional state and the like are something we don't fully understand for every person. We might find some answers for some people, but the truth is we don't wholly know. Maybe dieting for kids works and helps set up kids for a healthier future and self-confidence. Maybe it sets them up for a lifetime of disordered eating, yo-yo weight and shame.
Maybe we don't know.
But that admission, just like non-hysterical behavior in a restaurant with your child, just doesn't help you build a name in the massively lucrative weight-loss industry, does it?
