Please read these documents carefully and completely. Here is what you need to do: 1. Read, sign, and fax the speaker agreement (pages through ) to +1 818 332 4006 .

DO NOT register for the main conference; this will be done automatically for you. As a speaker you receive a complimentary registration for the main conference (not including tutorials). 5. IMPORTANT NOTE: There have been some changes made to the Speaker Agreement compared to that of previous years. Changes are noted with an asterisk (*) in the following summary: Conference Speakers will have their travel handled and paid for in the following manner: 1. There is a maximum allotment of $500 USD for travel within the US and $750 USD for international travel. 2. For travel from outside the US: We prefer that you book your own travel as it is often much more affordable from the foreign destination into the US. Once the flight is booked we will be willing to arrange for reimbursement at that time, or we can reimburse you at the conference. 3. We are certainly willing to have our travel agent work with you to see if we can book a flight from here at an equal or better rate. 4. If you require a Letter of Invitation for a Visa application, please send snail mail details to Delia Frees at 1396 Skillman Lane, Petaluma CA 94952 USA , or fax details to +1-707-780-6377 . Requests for letters must be received by Nov 1, 2005 . 5. For travel from inside the US we will book your flights. In order to facilitate this, it is essential that you forward the information requested in the Hotel and Travel Instructions section at the end of the Speaker Agreement. 6. Full Circle Productions will cover only coach class airfares. Those of you making your own reservations, and seeking reimbursement for travel costs, are advised to keep this in mind. 7.* Speakers will be given a one-time payment of $50.00 to cover the cost of ground transportation and $30.00 per diem for each Presentation, up to a maximum of three (3) presentations or $90.00 USD. This is to offset any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur. * PAYMENT: There will no longer be a Speaker's Fee paid for ApacheCon. * PRESENTATIONS: There is a cancellation policy now in effect. Refer to the Speaker Agreement (following this letter) for details. TUTORIALS: Tutorial Trainers will be paid for their classes based on enrollment as follows: 1. Each class needs a minimum of eight (8) paid enrollments to break even. After a class reaches this minimum number of enrollments, the instructor will receive thirty percent (30%) of each subsequent paid enrollment, starting with the ninth paid student. 2.* Trainers receive a one-time payment of $50.00 towards covering the cost of their ground transportation. 3. Trainers' airfare will be handled in the same way as Speaker's travel. (See details above.) 4. Trainers receive a minimum of five (5) nights and a maximum of six (6) nights in the host hotel with room and tax paid. Between October 15 and November 12, 2005 we will be tracking the tutorial enrollment closely. We have a strong commitment to work with you in order to develop and increase your class enrollment. Please feel free to contact us during this time to discuss the status of your class. PLEASE NOTE: A TUTORIAL IS SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PAID ENROLLMENTS TO COVER THE BREAK-EVEN POINT. We will make final decisions about the status of all tutorials by November 12, 2005 . All Tutorial materials have a different deadline than presentation materials. They are not included in the CDROM so you have more time! All tutorial materials are due November 18, 2005 . If you're scheduled to give a tutorial and you are making your own travel arrangements, please check with Full Circle Productions PRIOR to booking your flight so that we can confirm the viability of your tutorial, which in turn will allow us to accept full financial responsibility for the cost of your flight, to the maximum allowable amount, as stated above. Thanks again! We look forward to seeing you in San Diego, California! ApacheCon US 2005 Speaker Agreement SPEAKER AGREEMENT FORM: This letter is an agreement between Brian Moseley ("Speaker") and Full Circle Productions ("Producer") for services to be rendered by Speaker as an instructor at the ApacheCon US 2005 conference being held 10-14 December 2005 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina in San Diego, California USA . SPEAKER COMMITMENTS: Speaker agrees to prepare and present technical content and instruction at the conference as described in the following sections. Scheduled Sessions: TU09 Cosmo and CalDAV: Open Source, Standards-based Calendar Sharing (60 minutes) Notes and Handouts: 'Notes' are the presentation aids, such as slides or viewgraphs, which are used during a session presentation. 'Handouts' are documents used for tutorials containing the content of the presentation, as opposed to an outline, and need to be sufficiently detailed such that a non-attendee can get almost as much out of the handout as he/she would have if he/she had attended the presentation. Speaker will prepare a copy of the presentation notes and handouts and provide them to Producer according to the deadlines described below. Notes and handouts will only be accepted in Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe PDF formats. These format requirements are firm and nonnegotiable. If Speaker cannot meet the deadline for the materials, Speaker must contact Producer. Due to the technical nature of the conference, materials are required from every speaker in order to assure that all delegates get the most value from the presentations. If Speaker cannot submit materials in one or both of the formats described above, Speaker must contact Producer in order to discuss a reasonable solution. It is recommended that handouts be produced with as simple a visual layout as possible, with dark large type on a white or light-colored background. This will ensure that the content of the slides will be visible from the back of the room and that they will reproduce onto paper in an acceptable way. The conference proceedings and all handouts are being reproduced for the conference on CDROM. Please include any white papers, tools, bibliographies, links, or other materials that Speaker thinks may be pertinent or add value to the presentation. They will be included on the conference CDROM if practicable. This ancillary material may be in whatever format Speaker desires; it is not limited to PowerPoint or PDF. Session notes and handouts must be received by Producer by October 21, 2005 . PRODUCER COMMITMENTS: Producer will arrange for and provide the necessary power, network, and audio/visual support for presentations. This support will consist of: one (1) lapel microphone; one (1) LCD projector and screen; and a basic sound system. Speakers are responsible for providing their own computers to drive the projector. (Remember to bring the appropriate power adapters and converters if you are coming internationally.) Any additional audio/visual equipment must be requested in writing by November 12, 2005 . Producer will make a best-effort attempt to comply with special requests, but cannot guarantee success. The cost of these special-request items will be charged against the revenues from tutorial registrations when calculating tutorial profits. Payment: Producer will compensate Speaker according to the amounts and schedules described below; these amounts constitute the total amount to be paid. In addition, Producer will: 1. Prepay for reasonable coach airfare if booked with the conference travel agent by October 28, 2005 ; 2. Prepay a determined number of nights' hotel room plus tax (unless otherwise arranged); 3. Provide Speaker with one $30 per diem for each presentation, up to a maximum of three (3) presentations. 4. Reimburse Speaker for ground travel by paying a flat fee of $50.00 USD ; and 5. Waive Speaker's conference registration fee. The number of nights covered is calculated from the number of sessions scheduled, plus one, to a maximum of one more than the number of days in the conference. Producer will pay expenses and fees for ONE (1) speaker per scheduled presentation or tutorial. Additional speakers are not covered, notwithstanding any copy of this agreement executed with them. If a presentation involves multiple speakers, distribution of fees and selection of which receives the travel and lodging allowance must be decided amongst them. If changes are made to Speaker's itinerary after travel has been booked, Speaker is solely responsible for any additional fees or costs incurred. All contracts and paperwork must be signed and completed before payment will be issued. All payment will be made by check, cash or bank transfer. CANCELLATION: If Producer cancels a presentation or tutorial less than thirty days prior to the event, Producer will cover any agreed upon airfare that the trainer or presenter may have purchased to attend the conference. Producer may also choose to cover a part of that person's nights in the hotel as originally stated in the agreement. However, no per diem or ground transportation costs will be paid. If the Presenter or Trainer cancels less than thirty days prior to the event, they are required to provide Producer with any travel documents that may have been sent to them from our agency. It may also be noted on the conference history. If the Producer cancels a presentation or tutorial less than ninety days but more than thirty days prior to the event then the Producer may choose to cover any agreed upon airfare that the Trainer or Presenter may have purchased to attend the conference. However, please remember no airfare may be purchased independently without prior authorization for this to apply. Producer may also choose to cover a part of that person's nights in the hotel as originally stated in the agreement. However, no per diem or ground transportation costs will be paid. If the Presenter or Trainer cancels less than ninety days but more than thirty days prior to the event then they need to provide the Producer with any travel documents that may have been sent to them from our agency. It may also be noted on the conference history. POLICIES: By signing and returning this agreement, Speaker acknowledges that he/she has read, understood, and agrees to be bound by the policies set forth in this agreement and on the ApacheCon Web site at http://ApacheCon.Com/html/policies.html 1. The ApacheCon management reserves the right to cancel any session or tutorial, at any time and for any reason, including on-site and after the presentation has begun.

Speaker waives all claims to any portion of any monies accruing from such distribution. 6. Producer assumes the cost of reproducing and distributing presentation materials to delegates. If Speaker violates or fails to comply with any of these policies, the ApacheCon management will take appropriate actions.

GOP wants broader Vt. Health Connect changes
MONTPELIER Vermonts top elected Republicans praised Gov. Peter Shumlin on Tuesday for firing the developer of Vermont Health Connect, but they also prodded him toward further action and called for a review of his management team.
Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, House Minority Leader Don Turner and Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning met reporters Tuesday after the Shumlin administrations announcement Monday that tech firm CGI and the state would part ways. CGI has been the lead developer of the states troubled online health insurance marketplace.
The trio of Republicans said they want the exchange to function successfully and serve Vermonters. They said they hoped to avoid appearing partisan as they offered their recommendations for improving the exchange.
I think its essential as we moved forward to try and do everything we can to put this into place so that Vermonters feel secure about their health care, said Scott, a member of the Democratic Shumlins Cabinet. If theres one thing that businesses hate the most, thats uncertainty.
Scott said he would have preferred to fire CGI six months ago when the federal government cut ties with the company. He said he received little notice before Mondays announcement that CGI was out.
Im hearing that others did have some knowledge that it might happen, he said. So it would have been nice from my standpoint to know something, but not essential.
Still, Mondays announcement was welcome news to most of us, Scott said, and it allows the state to change course.
Its easy to be the Monday-morning quarterback and say that maybe we should have done it before now, Scott said. Theres no shame in admitting failure. I think the real shame was to continue down this expensive path without resolution.
The state is transitioning to another firm, Optum, to complete work on the exchange website. Scott, as well as Turner and Benning, expressed concern about the no-bid contract.
Scott called for a meeting of the Emergency Board, which includes the governor and the heads of the Legislatures four money committees, to review contract spending, even though it is nearly all federal money.
Some oversight, some buy-in from legislators, I think, is essential at this point, Scott said. We need to know where were heading, and I think that bringing everyone together and trying to at least bring everyone on the same page would be important.
He also said the administration should consider forming a regional exchange with nearby states that would allow Vermont to share resources and provide more insurance plans.
Shared resources are so important when youre small and rural, Scott said.
But that idea, so far, is not very well thought out at all, he warned.
Its only a concept, he said. Its not something Ive called the governor of New Hampshire to ask if they have any interest.
The state could also look into joining the federal exchange, Scott said.
Turner, meanwhile, said he wants a thorough review of what went wrong, including a look at Shumlin administration officials involved, before the state commits additional resources to the exchange project and Optum.
Weve been asking the administration time and time again to hold CGI accountable for its shortcomings, and we are happy today that is happening, Turner said.
But there are some people in the administration that should be held accountable as well, he said. We think that there needs to be a real scrubbing of what happened before we go forward. Weve got to understand if its management or if its an IT problem before we go forward.
Turner pointed to three officials in particular as having key roles: Mark Larson, commissioner of Vermont Health Access, his assistant Lindsay Tucker and Robin Lunge, director of Health Care Reform.
If theres a management problem, weve got the same management with a new company, Turner said.
He said he also wants the administration to lift the mandate requiring individuals and small businesses to purchase health insurance on the exchange. Vermonters should be allow to obtain coverage outside the system, he said.
In 2011, my caucus members fought hard on the floor for that, Turner said. We felt it was essential to give people a choice. ... Were at this point in the middle of the road, maybe, where we can make another decision.
Lawrence Miller, Shumlins chief of health care reform, attended the GOP leaders meeting with reporters Tuesday. Afterward he said many of the proposals put forth did not seem feasible at this point.
My job is to execute the law as it is today and get the thing operational, Miller said. Those would be conversations for the Legislature when they return.
Exchanges in each state are configured specifically to the regulatory and statutory requirements, he said. Any regional exchange would require alignment of the underlying regulations and policies before the system can work across those borders.
Vermont has set higher standards than most states for health insurance plans allowed on the exchange.
Im not sure that New Hampshire and Massachusetts would want to come up to our regulatory standard, whats included, Miller said. And Im not sure that the Vermont Legislature, upon further consideration, would necessarily want to come down.

Energy drinks, too, are usually suspect: "Many times, it's just caffeine and sugar," Kostas said.
No. 2: Oils
Over the past several years, every food expert from TV chefs to the Italian grandmothers on spaghetti sauce commercials have been proclaiming the benefits of natural oils.
Olive oil has gotten the most promotion, although avocado, almond and sunflower oils are becoming increasingly easy to find.
But watch the spout -- too much any of these can add up very quickly, Kostas warned.
"Limit it to maybe 1 tablespoon for your whole dinner. Many people think the more the better, and end up getting one-fourth of a cup, adding 500 calories instead of 25 to their dinner."
When it comes to oils, even the "healthy" ones, less is definitely more. And the same goes for our last "healthy" food selection.
No. 1: Nuts
Just as with oils, the key to keeping this seemingly innocent party food in the healthy category is moderation.
"This is definitely one case where more is not necessarily better," Kostas said. Almonds, for example, are high in vitamin E and magnesium and contain very little cholesterol.
But 1 ounce of almonds -- dry-roasted, with no salt -- contains 170 calories and 15 grams of fat. Kostas said one-quarter cup a day may be fine, or even less.
"But not a whole cup," she said. "Many people overdo nuts."
Overall, most of these foods are, in fact, healthy. But keeping them on the "good for you" list requires a bit of restraint, measuring and reading of ingredient lists, where, unlike the health section, there's no stretching the truth.

Dell agrees to $24 billion buyoutAP Photo
The exterior of Dell Inc.s offices in Santa Clara, Calif. Slumping personal computer maker Dell announced Tuesday.
AUSTIN, Texas Dell Inc. has agreed to be bought by an investment group headed by CEO and founder Michael Dell for a little more than $24 billion, the company said Tuesday.
Shareholders in the Round Rock, Texas-based company will receive $13.65 a share if the deal goes through, bringing the total value of the transaction to $24.4 billion, the company said.
The deal would be the largest leveraged buyout since the start of the world financial crisis in 2008. Dell Inc. expects the deal will be approved by shareholders and completed before the end of July.
Dell will team with a California investment company, Silver Lake Partners, in the deal. Also participating is MSD Capital, Michael Dells personal investment company. Microsoft Corp., the worlds largest software company, has agreed to lend $2 billion to help finance the deal.
Dell board member Alex Mandl said a special committee of the company board of directors and its advisers studied the deal carefully to protect the best outcome for shareholders.
Michael Dell will continue to head the company during the transition.
I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members, Michael Dell said in a written statement. We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise.
Dell has made solid progress executing this strategy over the past four years, but we recognize that it will still take more time, investment and patience, and I believe our efforts will be better supported by partnering with Silver Lake (Partners) in our shared vision. I am committed to this journey and I have put a substantial amount of my own capital at risk together with Silver Lake, a world-class investor with an outstanding reputation. We are committed to delivering an unmatched customer experience and excited to pursue the path ahead.
Dell, the third-largest maker of personal computers, has been under pressure in the past year from declining PC sales and intensifying pressure from low-cost competitors in Asia.
The companys shipments of PCs dropped by nearly 21 percent in the quarter ended in December, according to the International Data Corp. market research firm.
Michael Dell first approached the board in August of last year with the concept of taking the company private.
Egon Durban, a managing partner of Silver Lake, said a key to the deal was Michael Dells involvement.
Michael Dell is a true visionary and one of the preeminent leaders of the global technology industry, Durban said. Silver Lake is looking forward to partnering with him, the talented management team at Dell and the investor group to innovate, invest in long-term growth initiatives and accelerate the companys transformation strategy to become an integrated and diversified global (information technology) solutions provider.
A special committee of the board led by Mandl retained independent financial counsel and legal advisers to advise the committee on strategic alternatives, the acquisition proposal and the subsequent negotiation of the merger agreement.
It also engaged a leading management consulting firm to conduct an independent analysis, including a review of strategic alternatives for Dell and the opportunities for the company as a public entity.
The buyout will be financed by a combination of cash and company stock contributed by Michael Dell, an investment from Silver Lake Partners, cash invested by MSD Capital, a $2 billion loan from software maker Microsoft Corp. and debt financing from a consortium of four banks, Bank of American Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Suisse and RBC Capital Markets. Michael Dell owns about 14 percent of the companys shares.
The price to shareholders represents a 25 percent premium over the closing price of the stock on Jan. 11, the last trading day before rumors of the buyout deal became public.
The buying group will pay cash for all shares of the company not held by Michael Dell and certain other members of management.
Dell Inc. has about 14,000 workers in Central Texas and more than 100,000 worldwide.
The next step in the buyout process is a 45-day go-shop period in which the company will solicit alternative buyout offers.
If no competing offer is made, the company is expected to prepare a proxy statement and proceed with a vote of shareholders. A majority shareholders will have to approve the the deal before the company goes private.
Analysts say the buyout gives Dell a better pathway forward in a challenging market for sales of personal computers and other information technology.
Dell over the past five years has paid an estimated $13 billion for more than two dozen companies as it built its portfolio of advanced products and services in an effort to become a one-stop shop for advanced hardware, software and services.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Pee-wee Herman's bike fetched some big bucks on eBay.
The red-and-white bicycle rode by the comedian in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" sold for $36,600 on the online auction site, way more than the $10,000 reward Pee-wee offered for it in the 1985 film.
It's also three times as much as the seller paid for the bike in 2010.
According to the listing, the seller said he needed to get rid of the piece of film memorabilia "because my family is getting larger."
The bike came with an autographed photo of Paul Reubens (the actor who played Pee-wee), a photo of Reubens signing the photo and a certificate of authenticity.

It's hard to imagine a turkey being considered lucky around Thanksgiving. But, that's exactly what folks at the Center for Wildlife are saying about the male turkey that's in the ICU there.
According to an animal rehabilitation specialist, the turkey was brought to them Nov. 19 by a resident near Cape Neddick, after the turkey flew through a double-pane window.
The turkey had wing damage and more than likely some brain damage, according to an employee of the Center for Wildlife.
The turkey remains in the ICU and it's prognosis is good. As with all animals the center treats, the ultimate goal is to set it free back in to the wild.

Building bright Mediterranean flavors, one tweak at a time
On a menu full of appealing pork- and beef-centric dishes at the Rumpus Room downtown, it was the octopus salad that leaped out.
Such clean, nimble flavors - this was an irresistible dish, light and bright on the palate. True, the meat dishes have clear, big flavors, too; nothing is muddled on this menu. But that salad, with its herb and citrus note and contrasting textures, is compelling. »Read Full Article(1)
John Mayer headlining Summerfest July 6
Mere hours after announcing the Eagles would headline Summerfest's final night, officials with the music festival have announced yet another act for the Big Gig: John Mayer will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on July 6.
Mayer announced his summer tour in a Google+ Hangout with fans Thursday night. He released a new album, "Born and Raised," last year, his first to stay in the top spot on the Billboard charts for more than a week. But he had to cancel a tour in 2012 after a granuloma in his throat was discovered. It was the second time in two years it surfaced, but Mayer underwent a second surgery and last January was able to sing on stage for the first time since April 2011. »Read Full Article(6)

Beth Lipman explores the longing for belongings
Oscar Wilde once quipped he found it harder and harder each day to live up to his blue china. In other words, he found it difficult to measure up to the sense of himself as defined by his home and things.
With many of us as likely to spend our Sundays pushing big orange carts around Home Depot as praying in a pew, this preoccupation with possessions is all too familiar. »Read Full Blog Post

Oklahoma City Thunder (29-8)
With no Serge Ibaka or Thabo Sefalosha, the Thunder still handled the Blazers in Portland to close out the week that began with an inexplicable loss to Wizards. (Photo by Sam Forencich/NBAE via Getty Images)
Los Angeles Clippers (28-9)
Inexcusable loss to Magic at the end of the week heavily impacts the rankings so much so that the Clippers slip up drops them to number 2. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)
San Antonio Spurs (29-11)
The hamstring injury to Manu Ginobli seemed bound to happen to the injury plagued vet but Tim Duncan continues to pile up records after blocking 7 shots and recording 3 steals for the first time in his career. (Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images)
Miami Heat (24-11)
Nothing here to see. Heat in midseason malaise. However, the lack of beef and size is its Achilles heel. (Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images)
New York Knicks (24-13)
A lot of stuff is going on with the Knicks. Carmelo Anthony was caught on video seeking out Kevin Garnett after a loss to "talk" about the on court trash talk and the Bulls beat them for the third time this season. On the positive side, Iman Shumpert will travel with team to London. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
Indiana Pacers (23-15)
Ready to almost anoint the Pacers after beating the Heat and Knicks but the Brooklyn Nets brought them back down after handing them a 97-86 loss. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
Denver Nuggets (23-16)
The Denver Nuggets are streaking. After racking up win after win (five game streak) the Nuggets can look forward to a heavy home court schedule for a little bit. Wilson Chandler also returns after a long injury absence and Danilo Gallinari's shooting touch has seemed to return. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)
Brooklyn Nets (22-15)
The Nets are enjoying a six game winning streak and are 8-1 under P.J. Carlesimo. Although many of the wins are over subpar teams, the Sunday nights win over the Pacers proved a lot. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)
Memphis Grizzlies (24-11)
Grumblings about a trade for Rudy Gay hover over team as its play has been up and down with a record of 10-8 since starting off strong and going 14-3. (Photo by Glenn James/NBAE via Getty Images)
Golden State Warriors (23-13)
A few set back losses after rising to the upper echelon has not spoiled the feel-good feeling by the bay especially with rookie Harrison Barnes quietly showing why he was once a can't miss prospect. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)
Atlanta Hawks (21-15)
Devin Harris scored 24 points in his second game following his return resulting in a win over Jazz. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/NBAE via Getty Images)
Chicago Bulls (20-15)
The Bulls get pumped up for the good teams but have a habit of falling to bad teams which continued with a 97-81 loss at home to the Suns. But the Bulls expect Derrick Rose to return sometime shortly after the all-star break. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Houston Rockets (21-17)
The Rockets are a very streaky team. Currently they are on a three game skid following a five game winning streak. The same can be said for its point guard Jeremy Lin. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)
Portland Trail Blazers (20-17)
Damian Lillard has likely sewn up the Rookie of the Year award as he continues to impress in new ways on a weekly basis including dropping 37 points in a loss to Warriors. (Photo by Cameron Browne/NBAE via Getty Images)
Milwaukee Bucks (19-17)
Head Coach Scott Skiles was either fired or a mutual decision was reached to replace him. Nonetheless, the move has sparked the Bucks as new coach Jim Boylan is 3-1 with Brandon Jennings scoring 29 and 35 in Boylan's first two games. (Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images)
Boston Celtics (19-17)
Rookie Jared Sullinger is playing well despite being labeled a bust after physical setbacks in college. Jeff Green celebrated his one-year anniversary of heart surgery and will be looked for to defend big wings like LeBron and Carmelo. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

The Jazz are anxiously awaiting the return of Mo Williams while playing a better brand of ball. However, they are sill in a holding pattern as the trade of Al Jefferson is lingering. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Los Angeles Lakers (16-21)
LA snapped a six-game losing streak with much needed win over Cavs at home. The Lakers are just hope to make the playoffs at this point. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)
Minnesota Timberwolves (16-18)
After suffering three straight blow-out losses, the Twolves are clinging to remain relevant in the playoff picture without Kevin Love. (Photo by Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images)
Philadelphia 76ers (16-22)
The 76ers are sitting in 9th place in the East but are only being 4 games behind the Celtics for the last playoff spot which seems insurmountable. However, they got some life back with a 107-100 win over the Rockets led by Jrue Hoilday's 30 points. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)
Dallas Mavericks (15-23)
After a close loss to the Clippers, the OT win over Kings and trouncing of the Grizzlies may put some pep back in the Mavs step. Owner Mark Cuban also kiboshed any rumors of a Dirk Nowitzki trade. (Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images)
Detroit Pistons (14-24)
The Pistons are 7-3 in their last ten games. Tayshaun Prince, the only holdover from the championship days, is still contributing and recorded 21 points in a losing effort to Bobcats. (Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images)
Toronto Raptors (14-23)
The Raptors blew a 19 point lead to the Bucks and they would have had another good week after beating both the Sixers and Bobcats. (Photo by Ron Turenne/NBAE via Getty Images)
New Orleans Hornets (11-26)

Tyreke Evans returned this week after being out since mid-December but the Kings are still in the midst of four-game losing streak. (Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images)
Orlando Magic (13-23)
Every now and then the Magic shows they can beat any team at anytime and this week's version was a 104-101 win over Clippers. J.J. Reddick remains on the trading block. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)
Phoenix Suns (13-26)
He may not be setting the league on fire or even changing the course of this team but kudos to Sebastian Telfair for sticking in the league and prospering as a back-up. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Cleveland Cavaliers (9-30)
Not a whole lot of positive new but what's miraculous is that Shaun Livingston, who after a devastating knee injury, continues to be part of the NBA with the Cavs which is his 7th NBA team. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Washington Wizards (6-28)
The Wizards get out the rankings basement with two wins this week against the Thunder and Hawks and John Wall makes his return. (Photo by Ned Dishman/NBAE via Getty Images)

There is little love lost between this writer and the western greylag goose (scientific name Anser anser anser, and I'm not even kidding about that): when I was about eleven my family visited a woman with a pet goose she had trained to guard the house, and the beast interpreted my appearance as somehow threatening. I'm the only person I know who's been bitten by a goose. Nevertheless (or perhaps in a spirit of revenge), we here at Design Public love a good down comforter, so we've introduced a line of our own. Down--the tiny soft clusters under the bird's outer feathers--has two remarkable and related characteristics: fluffiness and warmth. The fibers interlock and trap air, so that each cluster becomes a sort of small balloon. The trapped air means the clusters have a greater volume, which makes them fluffy (and very light). It also absorbs and reflects your body heat, which is why down makes such wonderfully warm comforters. Ours are high-quality, hypoallergenic, well-constructed comforters--expect yours to last at least a decade.

Messenger Bags
Sort By:
No matter who your target audience includes, messenger bags are an excellent way to spread the word about your business while also providing utility. Whether you want to get your message into the hands of potential clients to increase your brand awareness or wish to provide recipients with an item that they will want to use again and again, you can insure that your branding will continue long after the initial exchange. For instance, at the beginning of every school year, students flock to stores to get all new school supplies and backpacks. Beat them to the punch and supply them with a durable and reliable custom messenger bag that they'll show off all year. Not only does it serve as a useful tool for students, but it is also a great way to get even more exposure of your brand.

According to the American Dental Association, teeth whitening is an option for anyone with a healthy mouth and who has been to the dentist in the past year.
It's important to have your teeth looked at by a dentist before you whiten them because the whitener could hide potentially serious issues, such as decay or tooth trauma.
To find out how successful whitening your teeth will be, the ADA suggests holding a piece of white paper next to your teeth. If your teeth appear yellow then it is likely the stains are on the surface and can be lightened through whitening.
Those who should avoid whitening their teeth at home, according to an adviser for the ADA, are people who are sensitive to cold, those who have crowns or fillings on their front teeth, and those who's enamel has a grayish tint.

Birth certificate error listed Nakia Grimes as a man for 37 years
A birth certificate error left a Georgia woman forced to prove she's female to get a driver's license.
Nakia Grimes, 37, told Atlanta TV station WAGA she was horrified when state workers told her she'd need a doctor's note verifying her sex because her birth certificate listed her as a man.
Grimes said she'd never looked that closely at the document, and had never noticed the error before.
"You only look at the name, the date and the year," she told WAGA. "I've never seen that."
State workers told her she'd need a pelvic exam and a note from her doctor verifying her "female parts" before they would renew her license.
Angry and upset, Grimes went to the media, who contacted state authorities.
The state eventually cleared up the matter by examining the birth certificate of her son, which listed Grimes as his mother, according to WAGA.

Ever since the release of 2011's Live.Love.ASAP mixtape, Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky has been bubbling up in the underground hip hop world. Revolving around women, fashion and mainly getting high, his style and flow stood above the thousands of other MCs talking about the same subject matter.

Squaw Valley
Every time I ski Squaw, I bump into the same people on the KT Express chair. I never have to wait long to find diehard ski buddies who begin, spend and end each winter day lapping this one lift and its expert terrain. But a good day at Squaw for CEO emeritus Nancy Wendt Cushing—who just passed the reins of this brawny and historic mountain to someone outside the Cushing clan—involves covering a lot more ground on skis. It's an easy thing to do: While this California classic may be best known for its signature steeps, Squaw's six summits offer abundant options for literally all levels of skiers.
"Follow the sun," Cushing advises with a knowing smile. She likes to start by zooming up the Funitel (a key component in a lift network capable of moving more bodies uphill per hour than any other ski area in the U.S.), then warming up on the easy, open meadow at the summit. From there she heads to the broad, rolling boulevards of forested Shirley Lake—a sunny day favorite with intermediates and families.
Back at the top, breeze down the sinuous folds of Silverado, a favorite hidden stash for Squaw skiers in the know. Each run gets more challenging. Next, angle down Headwall's steeps then swing through the bumps of Sun Bowl. Nancy does it all wearing a ball cap, sunglasses and a happy look. With Squaw's new efforts to improve the on- and off-hill customer experience, you and your family will have the same happy grin—even if you don't meet your buddies at the KT chair. —S.R.
What's New: Finally: Olympic House gets a renovation; new family features include a kids' fun zone and trail map, and upgrades at the Children's Center; new lighting will keep the terrain park open at night.
Mandatory Run: Did we mention KT Express? Easy way down: The Saddle.
Don't Miss: High Camp, and its grab bag of non-ski diversions with lake views.

Most people have two similar goals -- to save more money and lose more weight.
But take a look around the grocery store, and you quickly come to a reasonable conclusion: It's cheaper to chow down on a box of Ding Dongs than eat a bag of salad.
True, that's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but let's be honest: We all know it's better for you to eat apples and oranges than Ding Dongs (with all due respect to the good people at Hostess).
But eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. You can transfer that excess weight from your belly to your wallet by making some simple changes.
No. 5: Switch to tap water
No one could possibly argue that a can of soda is healthier than a bottle of water. Obviously, the healthier choice is water. But it isn't just health that matters. Some 12 packs of soda can cost as much as $5.
Bottled water might seem like a good alternate, but it is still very pricey, and you're really not doing yourself any nutritional favors.
Bottled water comes from the same sources as municipal water, meaning it just comes from someone else's tap. If you want another layer of protection, use a water filter. A $7 Brita filter cleans 40 gallons of water.
Sure, a cup of water doesn't taste like a cold Coke, and sometimes you need that drink. But it doesn't have to be the cornerstone of your diet. Make the bulk of your fluid consumption water and have soda as an occasional treat.
No. 4: Watch the ads
Grocery stores do a great job of letting you know when they have sales. Not only does a flier probably come in your Sunday paper (if you still get one), you can find them at the front door of the store.
If you're an Interweb type (you are reading this online, after all), your local grocery store probably has its current ad online.
The point is this: Use those ads, and not just to find out if barbecue chips are cheaper this week than sour cream and onion. Find out which fruits, vegetables and lean meats are on sale.
While you might have always bought the same things, check the ads and step outside of your comfort zone. Maybe you always buy fish sticks. This week, if halibut is on sale, give some of that a try.
No. 3: Eat more eggs
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At least so says every diet book, website or episode of "Oprah" we've ever laid eyes on. But if it's so important, why are we digging into a giant bowl of Supr Frooty Oats-n-Marshmallowz every morning? Because they are easy to make and they taste really, really good.
A better option is found under your local chicken.
Eggs are loaded with vitamins and protein, and cost around a dollar a dozen.
But won't eggs jack your cholesterol to the moon and lead to your untimely death? No. While eggs take a bad rap for hurting your cholesterol levels, they are not tied to blood cholesterol.
And eggs aren't just for breakfast. Nowhere does it say that you can't scramble up a bunch for dinner.
No. 2: Buy frozen fruits, vegetables

The holidays are filled with family get togethers, work parties and dinners out with friends. Any of those events can make you feel like you need to lose five pounds fast.
Here are five ideas -- including eating more -- to drop weight and look great in time for a special event.
Eat More Meals
In his book, "The 6-Day Body Makeover, Drop One Whole Dress or Pant Size in Just 6 Days -- And Keep It Off," Michael Thurmond presents a guide that he said has helped some readers drop as much as 10 pounds in just six days. One tip Thurmond provides: Eat five to seven meals a day.
Thurmond preached the method to participants in ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Battle of the Bulge." After the show, LaPaula Fyffe, a nurse and mother of three, told USAToday that she lost 52 pounds on the plan.
"I had six small meals a day," Fyffe told the newspaper. "During the day I got carbohydrates at specific times to support my exercise and muscle building."
Other nutritionists back Thurmond's advice, including registered dietitian Joni Rampolla, who is the director of nutrition for Medifast, a program that promises up to 20-pound weight loss in a month.
"When you skip meals, all research shows that you get ravenous and eat more in a day than if you space meals out. Eating throughout the day keeps blood sugar even," Rampolla said.
Not eating sends the body into conservation mode and slows the metabolism. Some sumo wrestlers skip breakfast to slow their metabolisms and eat one giant late-day meal. Their bodies are in conservation mode from not eating, so when they do, they hold on to all the calories they consume, according to various sources.
Swap Foods To Lose Fast
Eating more meals doesn't mean eating anything you want. Those meals have to be smaller than one of the traditional three squares. That means choosing foods that are less calorie-dense.
Shelly Asplin, a registered dietitian for Hy-Vee grocery stores, said the first swap should be high-calorie sodas and fruit juices for low- or no-calorie drinks. Her first-choice drink is water, but she said diet sodas instead of regular save about 245 calories per 20-ounce bottle. People with a two-Coke-a-day habit would save enough in a week to lose a pound, since there are 3,500 calories in a pound.
Other swaps Asplin recommends:
- A 16-ounce skinny latte instead of one made with whole milk saves 100 calories.
- A small apple instead of a bag of Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar flavor snacks saves almost 400 calories.
- Seven cups of "lite" popcorn instead of buttered saves 195 calories.
Boost Your Fiber
Rampolla, whose company helped soap-opera star Genie Francis slim down before the Daytime Emmys, said those extra meals need to contain more fiber.
"More fruits and vegetables -- they have fiber (and) help fill you up," Rampolla said.
Fiber makes you feel full, so you'll eat less, then works to sweep food out of the body to quicken weight loss.
"Our ancestors got upwards of 35 grams of fiber a day," said Matt Marshall, the author of The Wedding Day Diet. "Most of us get less than 10 grams of fiber. So, by eating fibrous green veggies -- lettuce, cucumber, green peppers, etc. -- you will increase your fiber. The fiber will clean you out, and that could give you a quick weight loss boost."
If you get minimal fiber, boost your intake slowly.
"If you've only been consuming 5 grams of fiber, you don't go to 30 in a day or you'll have (gastro-intestinal) distress," Asplin said.
Reduce Your Carbohydrate Intake
Marshall and Rampolla said a short-term reduction in carbohydrates can aid quick weight loss because the body will drop water weight.
Because carbs and glucose are the body's preferred energy sources, limiting food with those substances forces the system to turn to a metabolic process that sheds water, according to TheDietChannel.com.
"If you want to drop 5 pounds in a hurry, the quickest way to do it is to simply reduce the carbs you are eating," Marshall said. "Raw fruits and vegetables are allowed, but cut out the cakes, breads and other carbs, and most people will lose between 5 and 10 pounds within the first week."

Labor Day Weekend Brain Drippings – Angels Baseball and Otherwise
- From a baseball standpoint, Saturday and Sunday were as heartening as Friday was disappointing. Outside of baseball, the whole weekend rocked. I didn't bring a single project home from work this weekend. Go team, me! Okay, I work from home for half the week so, technically, I didn't bring a single project out of my computer bag for the weekend, but you get the general idea.
- Jered Weaver, fresh off the plane from his grandfather's funeral in Oregon (My sincere condolences on your loss. Losing a grandparent is extremely difficult and the bruise on your heart may fade, but never leaves.) worked his heart out on the mound for five innings on Saturday but his control was, understandably, far from his usual precision. It was a thing of beauty to see the rest of the team, offense, defense and bullpen alike, pick him up and get Jered the win. It was an ugly win to be sure, but the guy's had so many pretty losses that he more than deserved this.
- Food Truck Wars alumni Nom Nom Truck, Grill 'Em All and the Grilled Cheese Truck too? Believe the hype, they really are worth spending 45 minutes in line. They fact that in doing so we also contributed to a fundraiser for the local high school band? Pretty cool way to kill a Saturday afternoon.
- Joel Pineiro looked amazingly like…well…Joel Pineiro on Sunday and I cannot tell you how gratifying it was to see that. My hat's off to him for working his way through his troubles with such a good attitude and I hope this is a sign that his rough times are over.
- Holy Angels offense, Batman! Torii and Aybar and Trumbombs. Oh. My! Not to mention hard, clutch knocks from Bourjos, Callaspo, Conger and Wells! Keep it up, gentlemen. This is how we win ballgames.
- With 25 homeruns to his name, Mark Trumbo is getting closer to matching and perhaps surpassing Tim Salmon's franchise rookie homerun record of 31 from 1993. Whether or not he gets there, that's pretty darned slick. Go Trumbo!
- As distasteful as it was, I actually rooted for the Red Sox this weekend…which is probably why they lost. Stinky Red Sox. Hmmm. Do you think they know that my love was merely a matter of temporary convenience? *nods* It's the only rational explanation.😉
- While my husband tends to see the Aybar as half Gilligan (serious props to True Grich for the all too often spot-on nickname), I tend to see the Aybar as half highlight reel. But there's no denying he could go either way in a given game. Flip a coin.
- Midnight Vineyards Malbec is an excellent tater tots wine…yeah, I cracked up typing that too, hear me out. Inspired by our food truck adventures, we made gourmet burgers on Sunday, topped with blue cheese, mounds of sautéed mushrooms and a veritable tossed salad of baby greens, red onions and balsamic vinaigrette. We paired it with tater tots accompanied by curry ketchup and siricha ketchup dipping sauces. So this was a wine worthy meal…that also happened to prove the truth of the initial statement.
- I'm going to the game on Monday! It's the perfect way to cap off the last weekend of summer. And I wound up getting field box seats so cheaply, I'm almost embarrassed. Thanks guys, but this better just be just a holiday weekend vacation thing, because although my last post is still true and this will take work and luck, we're still in this!

Oh my goodness… the Gillian moniker is catching on? That's pretty funny. … And YES, we are STILL in this indeed!

Surgical removal of the cancerous tissue is the primary treatment for melanoma.
Melanoma Removal
The extent of the procedure depends on the stage of the cancer. Types of surgery include:
Excision —The entire tumor along with a margin of normal, non-cancerous skin is cut away to make sure no more cancer cells remain in the skin. How much non-cancerous skin is cut away depends on how thick the tumor is. The wound is stitched together or covered with a skin graft and usually leaves a scar.
Mohs surgery —This procedure, performed by specialized dermatologists, is designed to shave away cancer cells while leaving as much normal tissue behind. It is somewhat controversial in the management of melanomas, but many believe it is as effective as a wider, potentially more disfiguring surgical procedure. Mohs surgery is usually reserved for stage 0 or in-situ melanoma. The so-called "slow Mohs" combines features of both Mohs surgery and excision.
Amputation —If melanoma is present on a finger or toe, it may be necessary to amputate the cancerous part of that digit.
Therapeutic lymph node dissection —If the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, some of those nodes will be surgically removed.
If melanoma has spread to other areas of the body, surgery of the tumor will not cure the melanoma. However, surgery may still be done to try to control the cancer.

The store owner said the man came in, scoped out the place, came back and put a puppy in his pants.
Officials said the man then came back a third time to do it all over again.
The man walked out of the store with the puppies with children in tow, according to authorities.
A $250 reward is being offered for information that leads to the thief's arrest.
