text: Yesterday we heard the news that a gunman opened fire on his mother (Nancy Lanza) and her entire class of kindergartners in Newtown, Connecticut (we've since learned that Adam Lanza actually killed his mother in her home, and that she was not actually a full-time teacher at the school, but may have been a substitue). The young man brought terror to Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 children, 7 adults, and presumably himself. Like many of you, I've been following the story and reading a lot of different responses to the tragedy. I just came across an interview the HuffPost conducted with Stephen Barton, a shooting victim of the mass murder that took place earlier this year in Aurora, Colorado during a premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. Check out the video above. I can really appreciate much of what Stephen has to say, and I truly hope people (myself included) heed his call for active discussion and change regarding our collective response (or lack thereof) to these tragedies.0

Chat with the Kamenetzky Brothers
Welcome to SportsNation! On Wednesday, we'll have ESPNLosAngeles.com Los Angeles Lakers bloggers Andy and Brian Kamenetzky stopping by for their weekly chat.
Before joining ESPNLosAngeles.com, Brian and Andy hosted Lakers Blog for the Los Angeles Times from 2005-09. They host the ESPN Kamenetzky Brothers Lakers PodKast and frequently appear on ESPN Radio 710. As contributors for ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com, they have written about virtually every sport known to mankind.
Send your questions now and join the Brothers Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. PT/1:30 p.m. ET!
More Kamenetzky Brothers: ESPNLosAngeles.com | Search | Land O' Lakers | Mailbag
Andy Kamenetzky (1:30 PM)
Hey everyone. How's it going? Just me this week. Let's get 'er started!
Jason (Simi Valley)
DeMarcus Cousins and Thornton for Bynum? Then send Pau to Houston for Scola, Lowry and their 14th pick?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:34 PM)
Jason: Interesting scenario with Bynum, although I could see 2 potential snags. First, I'm not sure Bynum would sign an extension to stay with the Kings, given the market and how unstable the organization has been, and the Kings aren't gonna give up those two players for a potential rental. And Cousins certainly has his own red flags, albeit with some talent to go with them.
Shayan Fakhimi (Eugene, OR)
what holds more importance.. upgrading the bench or upgrading the point guard position?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:37 PM)
Shayan: In my opinion, the bench. The Lakers need an upgrade (even if it's just an improved Sessions at the end of the day) at the point, but depth matters. Being a top-heavy contender is a risky proposition. The support cast has to be in place, and in particular, with some shooters added to the mix.
LAhome48 (Arcadia)
Would Nick Young come to Lakers for mini mle which is about one million less than Clippers could pay him. Would Lakers want him? Also, is Mo Williams for Lamar Odom trade exception possible?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:39 PM)
LAhome48: My guess is Young stays with the Clips. From what I understand/read, he likes them, and the feeling is mutual. I'm guessing resigning Young is a high priority. But if staying in L.A. is of interest to Young (and I'm guessing it is, because he loves his hometown), you never know.
Maximus (LA)
Would you trade Gasol for Deng and some of Chicago's depth like Gibson Korver?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:42 PM)
Maximus: I'd consider it, because depth would help this team a LOT. They've been far too top heavy the last two seasons. I also like Gibson (underrated player, in my opinion) and Korver fills a desperate shooting need. But Deng's health makes me a little nervous. He'd be a centerpiece and if he has issues, the impact of that trade immediately drops. But it's not a horrible proposition. Having said that, I don't see why Chicago makes the deal, unless they can move Boozer. Makes little sense for them.
Derek Fisher ( Oklahoma City) [via mobile]
How you like me now after my game 1 performance? That layup over wade with me flying over 36' i bet yall loved it. haha
LongTimeLakerFan (Burbank)
Do you think Jordan Hill will be willing to sign with the Lakers for a deal starting at the 3.6 million that they're allowed to offer him? Or do you think he'll leave for some other team for more money?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:45 PM)
LTLF:It's very hard for me to gauge Hill's value, to be honest. He acquitted himself pretty nicely as a Laker, all in all, and had a few double-doubles off the bench during the playoffs. However, he also disappeared in a few other games and in the meantime, has been traded twice in 3 seasons as a former lottery pick. That has to raise red flags. Throw in his pending legal situation and the punitive nature of the new CBA and I don't know how much teams would pay for a young, athletic, but highly unproven big man. But dude can rebound. That's for sure.
Caleb (Dallas)
If you can trade Gasol for 3 solid role players, but no real superstar, do you do it? Is Kobe/Drew + good role players better than Kobe/Drew/Pau lousy ones?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:48 PM)
Caleb: Depending on who the depth is, yes. I do think Gasol is going to be missed a lot more than many Lakers fans realize, and in some ways, I think they might be better off trading Bynum for a better player. But depth is also needed, and if Gasol can fetch it, the front office needs to consider the particulars.
jacob (wisconsin)
do you think the lakers could sign nash without trading away any of the core peices?
Andy Kamenetzky (1:53 PM)
Jacob: If Nash is willing to sign for a mini mid-level exception or (dare to dream) the veteran's minimum, absolutely. And that would be a huge pickup for the Lakers. However, it only really makes sense for him to take below market value to sign with a legit contender. Do the Lakers still qualify? And would Nash be confident Kobe will play off ball enough to let him make as big a difference as possible? These are all matters to consider.
Bob (VA)
Is Kobe going overseas again for treatment? He should go every year.
Andy Kamenetzky (1:55 PM)
Bob: Yep, and Bynum is also getting the German experience.
RJ Houston [via mobile]
I believe a player that has everything the Lakers need is Nicolas Batum: long, great, athletic defender that would bother Durant and Lebron among others and is a good 3 point shooter. Can you see any way the Lakers can get him? I would trade Gasol in the move to get him.
Andy Kamenetzky (1:59 PM)
RJ: I can't conceive of Portland giving up a player that young for Pau, even if Pau is the better player at the moment. The Blazers already have Aldridge down low, and he's a young piece as build around with Batum. That feels very unlikely to me.
Tyrone (Dallas)
Do the Lakers have a chance to pick up any of the Celtics big 3, assuming they are available?
Andy Kamenetzky (2:04 PM)
Tyrone: KG strikes me as the most realistic option, in terms of filling a need for the Lakers and potential mutual interest, although I'm wondering if he ends up resigning with Boston. He had a nice season and the money shouldn't be an issue, given how much KG has already made. He seems to really love it in Boston.
Yousef (Dallas)
What exactly went wrong with Spurs? They looked like a legend in the making and poof they are gone
Andy Kamenetzky (2:06 PM)
Yousef: I think it was a matter of water seeking its own level, so to speak. The Spurs are a very good team, but OKC was the one everyone expected to be better in the first place. After a slower start, they returned to the anticipated form, and that was too much for San Antonio.
CLG (Florida)
Who do you have winning the finals. And, do you think Kobe is watching?
Andy Kamenetzky (2:09 PM)
CLG: OKC and yes.
Shayan Fakhimi (Eugene OR)
any word on matt barnes? feel bad for the guy coming into the playoffs hurt both years.. really coulda added something to this team
Andy Kamenetzky (2:13 PM)
Shayan: There's no official "word" on Barnes, but I'm guessing he's not back. Unless the Lakers decide to Amnesty MWP or lose Ebanks to FA, the need to resign him decreases, and it sounded in his exit interview like he might be looking for more money than the Lakers may offer. (Whether he can actually get it is another story, but...) And I agree, it was disappointing to see playoff injuries trip up two solid regular seasons. The guy worked very hard, did whatever the coaches asked and was by all accounts and appearances a very good teammate. Shame to see the postseasons fizzle so badly.
Enrique (corpus christi) [via mobile]
If Jordan Hill and Ramon Sessions decide to leave for a new team, regardless the reason, would they be considered a waste trading for. They both cost the lakers a first round pick, and now the"re gone and now we"re left with nothing.
Andy Kamenetzky (2:19 PM)
Enrique: Particularly in the case of Sessions. Hill was something of a throw-in, and the Lakers shed Fish's salary with the deal, so that's a plus. But they nonetheless did give up a pick in the process. As for Sessions, the pick truly becomes wasted. Walton could have been flipped this offseason or next season anyway as an expiring deal and Kapono didn't cost much money anyway. If they don't either retain Sessions or get something in a sign-and-trade, the deal will still be logical in hindsight, but probably chalked up as a sizable failure.
Travis Knight (Foul City)
3 way deal: Pau, Blake, Magic draft pick to Nets; Bynum and Farmar to Magic; Howard, Deron, and Hedo to Lakers. Who says no? Magic shed Hedo's contract and can let Jameer go unsigned and allow Farmar to start. They get an elite center to replace Dwight with. Nets get an awesome post weapon in Pau to pair with Lopez and a replacement PG (Blake) for Deron.
Andy Kamenetzky (2:27 PM)
Travis Knight: The Nets would emphatically say no. Great a player as he is, a 31 year old/expensive Gasol does them no good while rebuilding. Particularly when you take into account they'd be giving up Williams in the process (for Steve Blake???), and the pick from Orlando is only #19. I can't possibly see the appeal for Brooklyn.
David Perez (Albuquerque) [via mobile]
How about them Thunder? If the Lakers somehow get Andre Iguadala and Kyle Lowrie that would be great.
Henry (Lake Charles, La) [via mobile]
Is the ultimate plan to win now because of Kobe's age or build for the very near future with Kobe still bein an important piece of the puzzle?
Andy Kamenetzky (2:29 PM)
Henry: I'm not sure what the plan is, but at times, it feels like both, and that's a very difficult tightrope to walk.
Andy Kamenetzky (2:32 PM)
Allrighty, folks. Gotta run. But I appreciate everyone stopping by. Be sure to keep checking the blog for news. Thanks!!!

Oracle announced it has agreed to acquire Nimbula, a provider of private cloud infrastructure management software.
When megatrends heat up Oracle has no problem stepping up to the plate and buying their way into the market. Here public and enterprise grade clouds are what the customers want.
With Nimbula's technology Oracle can offer managed infrastructure to deliver service, quality and availability of Oracle and open source workloads in private and hybrid cloud environments.
Nimbula's product is complementary to Oracle, and is expected to be integrated with Oracle's cloud offerings. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2013.
Many have been debating the open vs closed approaches. Experts agree open will win over closed solutions as the future architectures of IT are being reinvented. One these megatrends is that new software IT scale out and open architectures. Once these architectures get firmly into place the solutions from the vendors will flood the market. Then the tide rises. Until then lots of "jockeying" going on.
Nimbula was founded by the team that developed the industry-leading Amazon EC2, Nimbula funded by Sequoia and Accel Partners, offers a cloud operating system that combines the scalability and operational efficiencies of the public cloud with the control, security and trust of today's most advanced data centers.
Oracle gets a nice chess piece here and a seat at the OpenStack table.

To the Editor:
—May I carry a little further the comparison made by Dr. Flancher (The Journal, March 27, 1915, p. 1095), between city physicians and country physicians?I practice in the country and go 20 miles to set a broken leg, attend a confinement, or treat a child for some common ailment. Like others in my situation, I often have to do without needed help, which a city man could procure. I have to be a "specialist" in everything. How many city doctors would manage all kinds of cases more successfully than we country "hayseeds" do? This is something they seldom think of. The city man writes the books but the country man has so much to study he seldom has time to write. Doctors are like trees. In the city they grow tall and straight, like trees in a thick forest, and reach a height we country doctors

We acknowledge and confess that all too often in the course of human history religious communities of all stripes have betrayed the founding impulses of their communities. We pledge yet again to stand by the conviction, as stated in many of our religious traditions, that within Creation all human beings are made in the image of the Divine; and that consequently, the image of God in all humans implies that each person has "infinite value, equality and uniqueness." (Rabbi Irving Greenberg).
We hold these convictions to be universal human values, regardless of race, religion, orientation, or nationality.
We call upon all Manitobans, whether people of faith or no faith; we call on people of good will everywhere to:
We urge the leaders of our province and our nation to recall the provisions of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which recognize the integrity and liberty of religious expression and to apply that recognition to all policies of our province and nation, whether domestic or global.
We remember, soberly and hopefully John Dunne's conviction that "no (one) is an island," and the wisdom of the late Rabbi Harry Joshua Stern that we will have "one world or no world."
In Montreal, a pregnant young Muslim woman was assaulted and knocked to the ground by two teenage males. In a Toronto mall, a second young woman was roughly handled by an adult male while in the presence of her two young daughters.
Manitoba Multifaith Council sees a direct link between these increasingly vicious attacks to last weekend's comments that risk employing religious symbolism and identity as wedge issues among Canadian voters. We call all political leaders to a higher level of political discourse.
Setting aside our common religious injunction in whatever form to "love our neighbour", these elected officials and others are concerned only with dividing our neighbours.
To date, the Courts are having none of this; as religious leaders of many faiths, we concur with the courts and their interpretation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for all Canadians.
MMC recognizes that it is beyond our competence – and beyond wisdom – to engage in the political arena in a partisan manner. But these are issues of human decency; of religious integrity; of religious liberty; of the security of persons.
MMC does not take sides on the merits or otherwise of any particular religious symbol, including the niquab.
MMC will stand up for our fellow citizens who have been subjected to abuse, and now to violence.
MMC deplores and condemns any and all violence and incendiary language committed on the basis of religious garb or symbols, and we commit to standing by our sisters and brothers of all faiths – and none.
MMC fears that such ignorant and intentionally cruel, cynical and divisive language may yet issue in death.
Heeding the Irish Statesman, Edmund Burke, we will not permit evil by doing nothing in the face of evil.
Manitoba Multifaith Council calls upon persons of good will of all faith groups and none to stand together for liberty and justice for all.
Peace Days Interfaith Event - September 21, 2015
On September 21, 2015, the Manitoba Multifaith Council invited participants from 11 different faith traditions to offer prayers for peace.
Dr. Mohinder Singh Dhillon, President of the MMC, brought greetings and words of welcome. Gathered around the Mahatma Gandhi statue, we began, fittingly with a reminder from Aboriginal elder, Carole Mone, of our cherished connection to Mother Earth.
Perry Kimelman, of Peace Days, and Ray Harris, of the Manitoba Multifaith Council invited our guests to offer their prayers. Enjoying the sunshine and warmth of the glorious autumn day, the crowd listened to the moving and unified messages of hope for a more peaceful world, expressed in many languages. Most Reverend Archbishop Legatt, Archbishop of St. Boniface, honoured us with his participation.
At the conclusion of the afternoon, we broke bread together—as a symbol of sharing, of appreciation to the bounty of the earth and to God to whom we give thanks for our sustenance. Belle Jarniewski offered the Jewish blessing over bread.
What is MMC?
The Manitoba Multifaith Council (MMC) is a registered non-profit corporation founded in 1969 to afford faith communities a unified voice in speaking on matters of common concern.

Homemade Chewy Fudge Granola Bars
Super chewy chocolate peanut butter granola bars. A simple no-bake recipe!
Today's granola bars are the epitome of chew! Think store-bought chewy granola bar meets fudgy no-bake cookie. Packed with ordinary ingredients like crunchy peanuts, chewy oats, creamy coconut oil, plump raisins, and melty chocolate. Really really really melty chocolate!
A healthy medley of texture, taste, sweet & salty all in one little snack bar. Simple and innocent as they seem, these have got to be the best granola bar I've ever tasted. That's mighty big praise for a simple little no-bake bar. Store bought have nothing on these.
So what makes them so wonderful? Let me count the ways!
It's a recipe that comes together in 10 minutes flat; you hardly have to expend and effort to make these. The ingredients are all pantry-staples. Nothing weird and certainly nothing unheard of.
Start with coconut oil. Coconut oil lends the softest texture EVER to no-bake cookies or granola bars. Combined with some chocolate chips, it creates a luscious and creamy base for the rest of today's ingredients. Plus, it's a much healthier fat than canola oil or butter. Read here for the health benefits of coconut oil
Please note: there is no underlying coconut taste in these bars. So even if you loathe coconut, no fret! You won't be able to taste it.
We've also got a mix of old-fashioned rolled oats and crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies). The oats give the bars an unbelievably chewy texture and the crispy rice cereal gives the bars some bulk.
Much unlike the funky gunky stuff you'll find in store-bought bars, my granola bars are sweetened with maple syrup. Holding the bars together is a hefty dose of crunchy peanut butter. We all know the magic powers of peanut butter & chocolate, so let's just move right along. 😉
Let's talk chunks. When it comes to granola bars, the more chunks, the better. In addition to the chunky peanut butter, I threw honey roasted peanuts and raisins into my granola bars. My pantry is nearly always stocked with both because I eat and bake with them so often. Feel free to use whatever chunks you like – coconut, butterscotch chips, almonds, banana chips, seeds, or dried cranberries. The bars are completely customizable to what you like– the sky is the limit here.
The coconut oil makes the bars unbelievably soft. The melted chocolate chips turn into fudge. You have chunky peanut butter and peanuts to give the bars back some crunch. Chewy oats, plump raisins keeping their shape, and crispy rice cereal. One bite is pure texture overload!
Store these no-bake granola bars in the refrigerator. Kept at room temperature, the bars will not hold their shape and get quite melty due to the liquidty components of coconut oil. Served cold, these bars are like biting into a cold candy bar. Exactly what I'm looking for after a long work day or at midnight. It happens.
Molded in an 8×8 baking pan, the bars can be cut into any shape you prefer. I cut mine into easy squares and got 12. Try cutting them into rectangles, like store bought chewy granola bars. Or just go at the whole pan with a fork, knife, and napkin. Or use your chocolate-y fingers!
The bars are completely vegan. If you follow a vegan diet, make sure to check the ingredients on your chocolate chips to assure they're dairy-free.
To err on the healthy side, I didn't use too many chocolate chips in the granola bar base. I simply added them back in on top of the bars. These granola bars are LONG gone from our kitchen, so today's post is torture as I sit here typing. Next batch I'm totally adding M&Ms or sprinkles. (!!!)
Chewy Fudge Granola Bars
Makes 12 squares, depending on size they are cut. Vegan if using vegan chocolate chips. Gluten Free if using certified gluten free oats and rice crisp cereal.
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (or creamy)
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 and 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup add-ins (I used raisins and honey roasted peanuts)
- 3 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter and maple syrup. Remove from heat.
- Mix in the oats, crispy rice cereal, and add-ins. Press mixture into prepared baking pan. I used the back of a spatula to evenly press. Top with mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for up to one hour. Cut bars into squares. Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

hi Sally. I'm about to make yet another one of your FANTASTIC recipes and I have a quick question for you….for these chewy fudge granola bars, in place of old fashioned oats I have some quick 1 minute oats at home. Can I use those instead?? I also can't find any old fashioned oats…stupid question but is it the same thing?? Thanks and can't wait to try it!
I made these with white chips in the base instead of chocolate chips (i was out of choc. chips at the time, sad, i know) and they were amazing! The white chocolate with the peanut butter is absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be making more especially since I hardly got to eat any (My fam ate them all up!) and I'm still craving them. Thanks Sally for another great recipe!
Hi, love the flavor of these bars. I want to make them a second time but I have a question…any hints on making them hold together?? Mine were very crumbly and hard to eat, kept them in plastic wrap and peeled them like a banana to minamize mess. Could I bake them for a few minutes? I didn't add many add-ins so that's not the problem. Help!!
I LOVE your blog!!! These granola bars sound wonderful – cannot wait to try them (and your breakfast cookies!).
Because there are honey-roasted peanuts in this recipe this recipe is not vegan. Using plain nuts will make it vegan.
I also noticed a comment above from Renee tasting the coconut oil…
Refined Coconut Oil is usually used in cooking and baking because of it's neutral taste. Unless of course you want to have a coconut flavor to your baked goods then unrefined or raw coconut oil is fine. Hope this helps someone out there that may not be sure of the difference in coconut oils.
how long would it take for example, http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/513459 this fudge to cool? because i have to make the whole thing in an hour, would it work?
These look amazing. I was looking for a sugar free recipe to take to work to combat all the incoming sugar full sweets. I just made a batch about 40 minutes ago. Instead of chocolate chips, I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and coconut shavings in place of rice crispy. Looks good and the mixture didn't taste bitter at all (I'm a milk chocolate girl). So looking forward to eating them and sharing with my parents and coworkers.
Hi Sally!
You have never let me down an I'm anxiously awaiting your book to arrive!
These are so delicious and quick. This time I used extra krispees as my add in and instead of chocolate chips, date chocolate from Trader joes. My family loves these and craves them. We can barely wait for them to set!
My goodness, Sally, this was amazing! I doubled the recipe(b/c of my intense love for PB+Chocolate)& used hazelnuts and dried papaya for the add-ins…it was really great and simple! I kept thinking "Oh no, the dry ingredients will overwhelm everything else!" but it turned out perfect! I was even able to reduce the oil mentioned in the recipe to about half the amount!
Sally you've done it again! I have been almost living off of your banana chocolate chip breakfast cookie since it is SO easy and a great pre-morning workout breakfast and way cheaper than buying bars all the time. These look like the perfect way to mix it up and I'm going to make them tonight!
– Amy
Also do you think natural peanut butter would be okay here? Maybe with less coconut oil?
Hi Sally,
I love your recipes (All the way from Singapore!). By the way, may I please ask, instead of baking these in a pan, may I use those silicon molds which already have little squares (Those used for brownies). Would this work as well? Reckon it would save me from the cutting.
My colleagues love the bakes that I have done using your recipes! Thank you so much!
Hi Sally, I've made these before with semi-sweet chocolate and they were REALLY REALLY REALLY good, but I was wondering if you happened to know how they would taste with milk chocolate. Also, would homemade coconut oil and homemade almond butter work in this?
Ooh, and I made your Easy Cinnamon Rolls from Scratch and they were fabulous! As in, some of the BEST rolls I've ever tasted in my 14 years of living!! I topped them with a coffee cream cheese glaze (my sis loves coffee and I love cream cheese, so I combined the two and it was the BEST glaze I have EVER tasted.) It's funny b/c I made your Cinnamon Roll Cake before the Easy Cinnamon Rolls and I thought that making the cake was easier than the rolls.
These are really wonderful! My only complaint, is that when i took them to work and left them on the break room table, they did get gooey after a couple of hours at room temp. So, you really need to serve these cold. But other than that, they were awsome! And, the meltyness didn't affect the flavor at all! I love that there is no refined sugar in them, other than what is in the chocolate chips.

Where to stay in Alsergrund
Hotels in Alsergrund
Travelers to the district will find a great collection of Alsergrund hotels just opposite some of the most popular museums, with luxury options also available. Hotel Mozart, a 3-star offering, is a popular choice in the center of Alsergrund. After a day of sightseeing and culture, relax in the hotel's bar and lounge. Fantastic discount accommodation in Alsergrund is available at the Pension Liechtenstein, well situated within walking distance of some of Vienna's top sites. If you're looking for a luxury hotel in Alsergrund, stay at the highly rated Hotel Regina, which is housed in a 19th-century palace.
Things to see in Alsergrund
First, visit the former home and practice of the famous Viennese psychologist at the Freud Museum. Take a peek into his personal life, with authentic pieces preserved just as they were in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and view a wealth of photographs and documents to discover more about the doctor. For a piece of Alsergrund's musical side, watch an operatic, musical, or ballet production at the Volksoper. This opera house is a little smaller than Vienna's other, grander, venues, but it lacks none of the finesse. The outside of the building, with "Volksoper" written in huge, red letters around its walls, is also sure to draw you in. The Votivskirche is a terrific example of Vienna's impressive architecture. This church, in a neo-Gothic style, stands out with its twin pointed white spires. And visit the Strudlhofstiege at night for something truly magical, when these picturesque stone steps are lit up with glowing, globular lamps, to create an unforgettable scene.
Good for culture seekers
With the fascinating Freud Museum, the university just next door, and a wealth of amazing sites to discover, travel in Alsergrund is perfect for anyone searching for history and culture on their vacation. Learn about some of Vienna's key figures while staying in a comfortable-yet-modest budget hotel in Alsergrund. Couples will also be enamored with this district. There's an expansive range of cuisine available in the district for dining out in the evenings, alongside traditional Viennese cafes to enjoy at any time of day. From Alsergrund, you can also visit the city center, or Innerstadt, easily, as it's just to the south.
How to get to Alsergrund
Vienna's closest airport is Vienna International Airport. Take a cab journey lasting about 25 minutes from here to reach the district. Otherwise, you can take the CAT train line to Wien Mitte-Landstrasse train station, and then take the subway to Friedensbrücke, Alsergrund's main subway station. Budget travelers should consider flying to Bratislava Airport to save on air fare; coach routes run from here to Vienna's central bus station, taking approximately 1 hour. Wien Franz-Josefs tram station is conveniently placed in the center of Alsergrund. It's quick to travel to the Innerstadt via this route, but you can always take the subway, which follows the route of the Danube Canal.

NEWARK, N.J.—Leafs GM Dave Nonis said he was prepared to move up in the first round or move out of it for the right price. But he thought Frederik Gauthier and another player, believed to be Anthony Mantha, would be around at No. 21 and decided to stay put. Mantha went 20th to Detroit. If body language means anything, Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin was visibly upset, scratching Gauthier's name off his list after the Leafs took him. Montreal picked American forward Michael McCarron four spots later.
"This is unbelievable," said MacKinnon, a standout from the Halifax Mooseheads. "This is a moment I've dreamt of for the majority of my life. It finally came true."
The Avs had already announced they would not take local defenceman Seth Jones with the pick, but didn't tell the rest of the prospects their plans.
"I found out when you guys found out," said MacKinnon. "They didn't tell me."
As for how it felt to be on stage: "I blanked out a little bit."
"I wasn't surprised with what they've been saying the last couple of days," said Jones. "Anything could have happened. They could have traded the pick. You don't know where you're going until you hear your name. Whether I'm first, fourth, second round, I'm still going to try to make the team."
<bullet>The sons of two ex-Leafs went in the first round: Max Domi (son of Tie) 12th to Phoenix and Kerby Rychel (Warren) 19th to Columbus.
"He was pretty pumped, an emotional guy obviously," Max Domi said of his dad. "He's very happy. He had a long successful career in the NHL and he wishes that for me. It's definitely a big step. It's awesome. He's a big fan. He's a big reason I'm who I am today."
NOTE: Corrected version, original incorrectly stated Anthony Mantha is son of ex-Leaf Moe Mantha

More than halfway through the NFL season, it has started to become clear who the candidates for the NFL Rookie of the Year awards will be. Yet while some of the top rookies in the draft class have made big impacts for their teams all season and are jockeying for award position, some others are still emerging as standouts, and they are doing so quickly as the second half of the season moves into full swing.
Some of the biggest Week 9 rookie performances came from running backs. Mike James of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was the league's leader of the week with 158 rushing yards, while the Green Bay Packers' Eddie Lacy was not far behind with 150 yards.
St. Louis Rams running back Zac Stacy and Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard, meanwhile, each scored two touchdowns and had more than 100 yards from scrimmage, including a whopping 178 from scrimmage for Stacy.
Having come into Week 9 with just 96 rushing yards on the season, James is going to need to string together some more impressive performances to work his way onto Bleacher Report's NFL Rookie Rankings. Lacy, Bernard and Stacy, however, are all among those who moved up the list this week after standing out over the course of the weekend.

When it comes to pocket notebooks, Field Notes has done a superb job of gaining a cult following. 100% manufactured and printed in the USA, each book measures 3.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall and is held together by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch binding. These memo books have durable, flexible covers designed to survive any back pants pocket or shirt pocket. The front of the inside cover has printed spaces for your contact information, in case you lose the memo book, and the back shows the Field Notes company's story, lists practical applications for the memo books (with a sense of humor), and gives detailed specifications about the book itself.

In a recent story on revision of mammography guidelines (JAMA [MEDICAL NEWS] 1983;249:2143), a statement attributed to Myron Moskowitz, MD, should have read "... national statistics have indicated that although the incidence of breast cancer in women younger than 40 years does not justify mammographic screening in this age group, in women aged 40 and older who participated in the HIP study, the mortality is 30% lower in the study group than in the controls."

In 2009, the US Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which offers nearly $30 billion in financial incentives to physicians and hospitals that adopt and choose to meaningfully use electronic health records (EHRs).1 The act is meant to help a health care system that consumes $2.5 trillion each year and produces health care that is below the standards of safety, quality, and efficiency that should be expected in the United States. There is broad consensus among US policy makers that EHRs will play a key role in transforming health care into a safer, more effective, and more efficient system.

Quite lightweight
Just enough cushion without being squishy
Sleek styling
Shape and size makes it so you hardly know it's there
I bought this saddle for a bike that I was building up for bombing around town and short (~20 minute) commutes. I chose it initially because it's not terribly costly and the styling and shape was what I was looking for.
After riding it for a few months, I'd buy it a hundred times over. I've ridden saddles that cost 10x more than this one. I prefer this one.
Most information on the web will tell you saddles are so much personal preference. I have settled on Velo as the brand that best fits me. I have had several and have used them for different biking requirements (tris to longer more upright rides). I am a big fan of Velo.

We categorize usage into three styles - BMX, racing and recreation. Racing saddles tend to be narrower and be more firm than recreation saddles. Recreation saddles are usually a better fit if you plan to ride upright and they may include features like springs.
Women's saddles tend to have a wider seat and shorter nose than corresponding men's versions.
Saddle color is usually the predominant color of the saddle. But, for predominantly black or white saddles it is usually the color of accents or highlights.

Indonesia Stocks: Bank Mandiri, Indofarma, Wintermar Offshore
Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in Indonesian trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses, and prices are as of the close in Jakarta.
The Jakarta Composite index fell 0.5 percent to 3,769.21, the most since Dec. 15. The benchmark gauge has risen 1.8 percent this year.
Banking stocks: PT Bank Mandiri (BMRI IJ), Indonesia's biggest bank by assets, declined 2.2 percent to 6,600 rupiah. PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI IJ), the second-largest by market value, dropped 2.2 percent to 6,700 rupiah. Financial stocks were the biggest drag on the composite index.
The shares fell on concern a weaker rupiah and a stronger oil price will accelerate inflation and prompt an increase in interest rates, according to Edwin Sebayang, an analyst at PT MNC Securities. The rupiah slid to 9,200 against the dollar yesterday, the weakest level since Dec. 15.
PT Indofarma (INAF IJ), an Indonesian pharmaceutical company, gained 2.9 percent to 175 rupiah, the highest close since Feb. 29, 2008. Bisnis Indonesia reported Indofarma plans to sell radiopharmaceutical products and has obtained a purchase commitment from a Japanese buyer worth as much as 50 billion rupiah ($5.44 million). Corporate Secretary Ahida Amini couldn't be reached when called at her office.
PT Medco Energi Internasional (MEDC IJ), Indonesia's biggest listed oil company, climbed 1 percent to 2,475 rupiah. Crude-oil futures rose 1.7 percent to $101.34 a barrel in New York yesterday, gaining for a sixth straight day, the longest rally since November 2010. Oil last traded at $101.06.
PT Wintermar Offshore Marine (WINS IJ), a shipping services company, jumped 7.9 percent to 340 rupiah, the highest close since Dec. 8. Two units of the company signed a $45 million loan agreement with the International Finance Corp. yesterday to fund fleet expansion, Wintermar said.

Just got this really important email from the organization, Choices in Childbirth - please help!!!
As you may already know, St. Vincent's Hospital is under threat of closure. Government officials, hospital administrators, and community representatives are working to define a solution to this problem.
The closure of St. Vincent's would not only have a tremendous impact on the residents of the Lower West Side of Manhattan, the repercussions would be felt throughout the City's already overburdened healthcare system. For the birth community, the loss of St. Vincent's would be a particularly devastating blow for many reasons.
First, most New York City labor and delivery units are already operating at or above capacity. With the closure of St. Vincent's, these already overburdened units would be forced to collectively absorb an additional 1800 births per year. This is a serious public health concern with overcrowding leading to substandard care for all women.
Second, in addition to overburdening its neighbors, the closure of St. Vincent's would mean that New York City families would be losing the only hospital in the city that is actively striving to provide truly Mother-Friendly, evidence-based care. In the last year, major steps that have been taken toward this goal.
How you can help:
1. Sign the petition that Choices in Childbirth has created to show support for St. Vincent's - particularly their one-of-a-kind Maternity Care Service.
2. Visit Councilwoman Quinn's Website to sign her petition to keep St. Vincent's open.
3. Visit the new website: www.savestvincents.com and help in whatever ways are at your disposal. Here you can share stories of what St. Vincent's has meant to you as a parent, provider, or community member. You can also write letters to elected officials using the templates on this website.
4. Download a a copy of our outreach letter and share this information with your friends, family and colleagues. We need to get the word out about what an incredible loss for the birth community this would be.

Seattle a Leader in Job Growth
Manufacturing Gains Help Turbocharge a Drop in Its Unemployment Rate to 5.9%
SEATTLE—As the national labor picture slowly improves, this area is outpacing most others in job growth.
Of the nation's 49 metropolitan areas with populations over 1 million, only two—both in California—have seen their unemployment rate fall more than Seattle's over the past year. And neither of those areas has seen its unemployment rate go as low as Seattle's 5.9%.
The secret to Seattle's success is its mix of industries—a combination of technology, service and manufacturing that have hired more readily than those other parts of the country. Seattle has added factory jobs at a rate nearly four times as fast as the rest of the U.S. in the past two years. Retail and construction jobs have grown more than twice as fast.
The Seattle area—home to retail pioneers such as Starbucks Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., as well as technology firm Microsoft Corp. MSFT 0.35 % —has seen its job machine turbocharged in recent years by an old-line sector: manufacturing.
As a result, "your local industries just get pulled along," because a growing workforce needs places to live, shop and eat, said Alec Friedhoff of the Brookings Institution.
The shifting skyline here shows the change. Builders are scrambling to put up apartment towers, tourist magnets like Pike Place Market are teeming, and a massive infrastructure project is in the process of burying a highway that once blocked the city from its waterfront. Factories are adding shifts, and headhunters are vying to place 20-something software engineers who are just starting their careers.
One area powerhouse, Boeing Co., moved its headquarters to Chicago more than a decade ago, but kept most of its production in Washington, which has no state income tax, sustaining work for a network of local suppliers. That has propelled new jobs in Seattle up 5.4% in the past two years, faster than the 3.4% growth nationwide.
To be sure, relying too much on a few labor-intensive giants like Boeing can have its downside. When air travel dried up after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Boeing cut 32,000 positions—largely here—by the end of 2002, as carriers postponed or canceled orders.
But for now, airplane building is thriving and business is filtering out to smaller companies like Orion Industries, a parts maker in nearby Federal Way. Demand for commercial air travel is expected to grow by 5% a year for the next 20 years, said John Theisen, Orion's chief executive. He says the company's workforce—now at 225—and revenue have both grown by 38% so far this year.
"When the industry is booming like it is, we're competing for manpower," he said. Orion's operations have outgrown one factory and spilled over to a second a short drive away. Taped to a wall in the company conference room are plans for a 100,000-square-foot facility that Orion will move into in February.
Today's momentum is helping Seattle make up some of the ground lost during the recession. Between 2008 and 2012, home values here plunged almost 25%, according to real-estate company Zillow Inc., compared with a 19.9% decline nationwide. Seattle-area home values are back to about 90% of their precrash levels. In early 2010, area unemployment climbed to 10.4%, above the nation's recession-era peak of 10%, before recovering.
Part of the increase in Seattle's manufacturing jobs comes from boat building, where demand for welders has spurred Kvichak Marine Industries to work with South Seattle Community College in designing training programs.
Cleo Howze recently started work at Kvichak, after completing her training. "Opportunity presents itself and now I'm here—happy," she said, still wearing her protective glasses after winding up a shift. The 30-year-old welder earns $15 an hour building boats and will be eligible for benefits and a raise after completing her six-month apprenticeship. In her previous job, as a parts manager in the auto industry, Ms. Howze made $10.25 an hour and didn't receive benefits.
Kvichak, which is located on Seattle's Lake Washington Ship Canal, just had its strongest year ever, said Brian Thomas, one of the owners. In the shipyard recently, builders moved around a gleaming aluminum frame, propped up on wooden rests. Kvichak's 200 workers craft a range of vessels, including fishing boats and patrol boats for customers such as city police departments and the U.S. Coast Guard. Robotics handle a small slice of the work, but a good 90% of Kvichak's welding is done by hand, Mr. Thomas said.
Seattle's upturn means jobs all along the economic spectrum. Benjamin Roberts is a 24-year-old barista who moved here recently from Portland, Ore., with no job in hand but "lots of coffee experience."
After a few weeks of hunting, he says, he was hired by Victrola Coffee Roasters. Mr. Roberts works in one of Victrola's three outposts, an airy cafe with a high ceiling and exposed brick walls, where patrons are hunched over laptops. The decision to move was easy, Mr. Roberts said: "Seattle has a better economy and more jobs. And it has good food, good coffee and good beer."

ASTM D7234 2005 Edition, December 1, 2005
Complete Document
Standard Test Method for Pull-Off Adhesion Strength of Coatings on Concrete Using Portable Pull-Off Adhesion Testers
Includes all amendments and changes through Change/Amendment , December 1, 2005
Published By:ASTM International (ASTM)
Page Count:8
This test method covers procedures for evaluating the pull-off adhesion strength of a coating on concrete. The test determines the greatest perpendicular force (in tension) that a surface area can bear before a plug of material is detached. Failure will occur along the weakest plane within the system comprised of the test fixture, adhesive, coating system, and substrate, and will be exposed by the fracture surface.
This test method uses a class of apparatus known as portable pull-off adhesion testers.2 They are capable of applying a concentric load and counter load to a single surface so that coatings can be tested even though only one side is accessible. Measurements are limited by the strength of adhesion bonds between the loading fixture, coating system and the substrate or the cohesive strengths of the adhesive, coating layers, and substrate.
Pull-off adhesion strength measurements depend upon both material and instrumental parameters. There are different instruments used that comply with this test method. The specific instrument used should be identified when reporting results. This test is destructive and spot repairs may be necessary.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2 The term adhesion tester may be somewhat of a misnomer, but its adoption by two manufacturers and at least two patents indicates continued usage.
