Would have loved to have seen this fight three years ago, will be interesting to see how this one plays out now as both look to ressurect their career.
Winner of this one gets right back into the mix for a monster payday.
Interesting to hear on Saturdays telecast that Vargas was reportedly over 200 lbs not too long ago, hustling hard to get to 154.
Will be be too strong and powerful for Shane, or too slow for the quicker Shane who will be comfy at that weight ... regardless, it will be interesting to see what Vargas weighs on fight night.
Vargas said to be getting back to his roots as a boxer/puncher. Intriguing fight here. Both have seen their best days likely pass, but both are still young enough to be very viable at 154 for some years to come.

Hey guys! I wanted to add that I think Tesman doesn't necessarily want to destroy Lovberg's manuscript in some capacity, or even is reluctant to give it back. I feel like while Tesman may harbor some jealousy toward Lovberg's success, he doesn't resent Lovberg enough to even want to do anything bad to the manuscript to harm Lovberg. I think Tesman genuinely wanted to give the manuscript back to Lovberg after the party, and he was genuinely horrified that Hedda didn't give the manuscript back to Lovberg--and he said it might have ended up bei...

More money seemed to have less an effect of your tea purchases than I would have guessed according to yesterday's poll...you can still vote and discuss this topic.
Welcome to Monday's edition of TeaDay. I am sure we will need a little extra tea to get through the day. Let's brew and share cups with each other today...all day. If you need to, you can also reflect back on your TeaDay.
So...I promise...last money topic for a while. But today, you are rolling in the dough. Is there some teaware you have been eyeballing for a while...or a recent discovery. Perhaps the economic stimulus check is going to some teaware. So, 'fess up...what teaware have you been wanting...waiting...?
I am looking forward to seeing everyone of TeaDay. Bottoms up, refill, repeat many times...

In a New York Times op-ed, Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and author, declared, "Rich People Just Care Less." How does he know this? Because studies have been done. So there. Rich people lack empathy, don't listen to people lower on the social ladder than themselves, and
…seem to pay particularly little attention to those with the least power. To be sure, high-status people do attend to those of equal rank — but not as well as those low of status do.
Except, it's not quite true. It's a little off. Skewed. Downright…flawed. (more…)

Here's how RW members rated this race (476 votes).
In short: Great marshalls! Many thanks for a great day!In full: Tough hills, lovely scenery, great marshalls who made the day. Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: In short THOSE HILLS!!In full: A tough race but very rewarding it must be one of the toughest half's around great to see the finish line def one for next year all good traning for the London marathonDate of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Hard but beautifulIn full: This was such a gorgeous race. Autumnal colours, just the right temperature, lovely quiet county lanes. The marshalls were wonderfully friendly. But it was REALLY tough, I definately needed the support to get round. OUCH - I ache this morning.Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Pretty but hilly!In full: This was a very good race. The route was scenic and the marshalls were great, really friendly and very well organised. This race is one to enjoy really and, if your like me and find going uphill a bit tough, not one to try to get a PB at. I was 5 mins out of my average time nd 10 mins off my PB. Hills are very tough at mile 8 and 10, a fair few people walked at various points and actually seemed to be going faster than me!A very nivce race overall and great for hill training!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Has to be one of the UK's top ½ road races? Tuff enough to be a good challenge but not too tuff to destroy all rhythm! In full: Results service was fantastic! live results at the end and all results available on the web when I got home an hour later ;)This is a great half that pushes you hard on rolling hills, thank goodness for the last mile being down hill. The sofa that had been parked just off the course at the 10 mile point was a bit cruel! Deliberately positioned by the organisers to tempt shattered runner or fly tipped? Either way it looked very appealing after the long hill at 8 miles… ;)Mr Kodak - you need to cheer up!!!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Will be better prepared for the hills next time :-) Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Probably best to cut your Half Marathon teeth somewhere else firstIn full: I was warned about the 2 trecherous hills, but still didn't realise how tough they were. I finished in a 1hr50 time and on both hills at least 60% of the field were walking up them !!! Never seen that yet on a road race - great training for the calves :)The marshalling was 1st class, they were helpful and had loads of information. Nice to have a downhill finish, just when it was sorely needed. Start and finish location was nice. Cons - first 2-3 miles was very busy which made pacing difficult. Also, the two floods didn't help, so I had soggy toes for quite a while.Other than that, great race and I'll do my best to get back next year.p.s. Hope the guy who had a Cardiac Arrest recovers soon. Best wishes to him and his family. Date of review: November 2, 2008
In short: Great Race - tough though!In full: Friendly marshals, picturesque scenery. Excellent. Thank you to all.Date of review: November 2, 2008
In short: Very well organised race, picturesque route and very challengingIn full: This was a really nice race to take part in. I wasn't aiming for a quick time but a steady pace. The ups and downs and the scenery made it quite memorable. The only real dampers (literally) were the two flooded sections of road.Just a tiny request for next year - could there be more "large" t-shirts please? With no medal, that would have been my memento for the race but all were gone by the time I finished in the 500s.Date of review: November 2, 2008
In short: Worth the challenge!In full: Marlow is one of the toughest half marathons due to the hills but the challenge adds to its appeal. Well organised, great marshalls, facilities sufficient and overall a great race. This was my third time and will be back for more.Date of review: November 2, 2008

A collection of stories from individuals with disabilities, families, friends, and disability service providers in Tennessee
Showing stories 1 - 4 of 4
Results related to: Student interview of parent / Down syndrome / Davidson County
"Sharmane's IQ cannot predict how much she has been able to achieve and learn."
"So while the parent is looking at the individual the government is more concerned about how to pair down the costs.
"I wish there was more research on what happens to individuals with a disability once they become adults. It is not very clear what is to be expected after their twenties, and this lack of clarity leaves many families in the dark and scared for their child's
"If there won't be an accurate score, then why should he take an IQ test? We didn't want a number on the front of his Individualized Education Program (IEP) plan.* We want someone to flip the page and read all about him and not just assume what their expectations
should be based on that number."

The Jupiter Green and Artisan Market on Riverwalk offers some pretty spectacular views of the Intracoastal Waterway as well as some pretty great goods - its not a bad place to grab the produce:
Jupiter Green & Artisan Market
The Jupiter Green and Artisan Market, the year-round affair located beneath the Indiantown Bridge, has moved from its traditional Friday evening time to Sundays, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. As mentioned above, the market as taken root at the Riverwalk Events Plaza, a paved expanse with parking spots, fishing docks and benches beneath the bridge that not only offers a shady respite from the baking sun, but also acts a giant umbrella, making this market a rain or shine type of market.
Offerings: Fresh, locally frown fruits, vegetables and herbs; prepared foods from pesto and sauces to breads; artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, fresh made pasta and antipasto from personal favorite Fratello Sole; jewelry; crafts; clothing and accessories; fresh flowers and plants; live entertainment.
Extras: It's all about location. A mere stones throw from Blueline Surf and Paddle, and Jupiter Outdoor Center, make a day of it and rent a paddleboard or kayak and explore the Intracoastal at your leisure. That, and when you're buying some greens under a bridge in cash, it just feels like you're getting away with something.
- Every Sunday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
- Location: Eastern intersection of Indiantown Road and US 1, underneath the bridge. Parking under the bridge and at the nearby parking garage.

1st steep 160 degrees for little over a minute, 3 grams to
3 oz.'s (preheated):
(May be I'm used to the lower notes of my current stash but,) buttery, buttery, buttery. Maybe hint of asparagus. Very pleasing.
2nd steep a little over 160 degrees and a little under
30 seconds:
Not as buttery, still a vegetal taste but subtle. Wish I'd used less water.
3rd steep 170 for 2 minutes 2 oz.'s water:
Similar to 2nd, but a little less subtle which is impressive for a 3rd steep!
4th steep 180 for 3 minutes 2oz's. no preheat:
Strong flavor definitely gone. Still a bit of sweetness. Still pleasant.
Overall, loved the first steep: ethereal and light at the higher note register while still satisfying. Will try less water in the second steep. Not sure what temp I'll use. Great fun.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Bull or Bear?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There are cross-currents galore in this market, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Thursday, currents that make it almost impossible to determine whether the bulls or the bears have the upper hand.
Cramer said that after regaining some of its losses earlier in the week, he continues to scratch his head over which way the markets may be headed. Why? Because there are simply too many man-made events that could affect our future, and those in charge have little regard for how their actions will impact upon the markets.
Syria remains top of mind, said Cramer. After being told airstrikes were almost a certainty earlier in the week, today they may not be. Then there are the GDP estimates. Economists were expecting 1.7% growth, but today was reported a not-too-shabby number of 2.5%. The market's technicals broke down earlier in the week, but held their ground today. Confused yet?
Then there's our government's impending debates on the debt ceiling, the sequester and a possible shutdown -- debates that neither party in Congress realizes only hurts the economy and the stock market the longer they drag on.
So what's an investor to do? Cramer said if things go right, it could be nirvana but if they go awry it could very easily be a disaster for stocks. With no lifeguards on duty, Cramer said he's sitting on the sidelines and waiting until the coast is clear.
Executive Decision: Marc Benioff
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com
Benioff reiterated that Salesforce is on track to have its first-ever $1 billion quarter next quarter, just a few years after booking its first billion-dollar year. He said Salesforce remains the number one customer service software vendor and is now also number one in customer service software as well.

Davenport, then 20 and a relative unknown (she had never advanced beyond a quarterfinal in a Grand Slam tournament), went on to win the second set 6-2. After winning the match, she told the press: "It's definitely the most proud I've been in my life. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be a gold medalist."
Davenport has since won three Grand Slam singles titles, including the U.S. Open. She took time off to have her first child, Jagger Jonathan Leach, born June 10, 2007. But with the Olympics again beckoning, Davenport, who will be 32 on June 8, perhaps wants to close out her career where it began.
"The first thing that really got me thinking about making a comeback was the Olympics," she has said in almost every press conference since last July.
"[The Olympics] and the U.S. Open are definitely [my] top two (career highlights)," Davenport said at the Sony Ericsson Open in March 2008. "In tennis, it's measured in Grand Slams, so winning the U.S. Open was like a huge, huge achievement. ... But the Olympics being the first big thing that I won, it always has a special place in my heart."
Although tennis was one of the original nine sports included in the modern Olympiad, it was not contested as a medal sport from the 1928-1984. Instead, tennis's heroes and heroines have won Wimbledon and more recently, the Australian, French, and U.S. Opens-the four tournaments now considered the sport's Grand Slam.
When tennis was reinstated as a medal sport at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, it took a few years for some of the top players to warm to the event-particularly the men. Steffi Graf completed her "Golden Slam" by winning all four majors, plus the 1998 Olympic gold. Miloslav Mecir, who had never won a Grand Slam title, won the men's gold, beating Tim Mayotte, who twice made it to Grand Slam semifinals.
Although top players Pete Sampras and Boris Becker skipped the 1996 Games, Andre Agassi arrived in Atlanta to represent the U.S. He ended up winning the first gold for the U.S. in men's singles since Vincent Richards won in 1924.
Agassi summed up his win by saying, "To win a Grand Slam in the sport of tennis is the greatest accomplishment inside the sport. To win an Olympic gold medal is the greatest thing you can accomplish in any sport."
Now, most of the world's top players are prioritizing the Olympics. Roger Federer considers the Olympic and French Open titles as the two jewels missing in his crown. The Swiss player, who has held the top ATP rank since February 2004, played at the 2000 Olympics, losing the bronze medal match to France's Arnaud De Pasquale, and again in 2004, losing in the second round to Czech player Tomas Berdych.
In April 2008, when asked where winning an Olympic gold medal would rate, Federer responded, "For me, it ranks on a Grand Slam level."
Although not all U.S. players would agree with Federer, most are targeting the Olympics this year. The U.S. team won't be named until June 23, 2008, but leading candidates are Davenport, Venus and Serena Williams, James Blake, Sam Querrey, and since making it to the fourth round in the French Open, Robby Ginepri. Top doubles players are Liezel Huber and the Bryan brothers-identical twins Mike and Bob.
The top 56 men and women in world rankings (as of June 9, 2008) qualify for the Olympics, with only six men and six women allowed from each country.
As of June 2, Maria Sharapova (Russia) leads the WTA rankings, with Serena Williams in fifth, Venus in seventh, and Davenport 26th. They are the only three Americans in the top 56.
In ATP rankings, Andy Roddick is the top American in sixth. James Blake is eighth, Mardy Fish 39th, and Sam Querrey 40th. Robby Ginepri was 88th before the French Open, but U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Tim Curry says Ginepri is expected to make the cut.
Both Roddick and Fish have chosen not to play in the 2008 Olympics.
For Venus Williams, who owns six Grand Slam titles, her two Olympic gold medals in singles and doubles at the 2000 Olympics were "the epitome of athletics." She also played in 2004, losing in the third round to Mary Pierce (France). This year, Venus has said, "I'm planning my summer around the Olympics and U.S. Open."
Sister Serena, who was Venus's golden doubles partner at the 2000 Games and has eight Grand Slam titles of her own, is also prioritizing the Olympics. If she stays healthy, she will be a gold-medal favorite in Beijing.
Four-time Grand Slam doubles titlists Bob and Mike Bryan hope to avenge their quarterfinal defeat in Athens with a win in Beijing. "The Olympics only come around once every four years," Mike told the U.S. Tennis Association. "If you get a gold medal, I mean, that's just icing on everything. You show a gold medal to anyone in the world, they know what it is. Some people don't know what Wimbledon is, but a gold medal is unbelievable."
Number-one-ranked doubles player Liezel Huber gained American citizenship in July 2007 and hopes to compete in Beijing. The former South African player has three Grand Slam doubles titles: Wimbledon (2005 and 2007) and the Australian Open (2007). Her partner in the three Grand Slam tournaments was Cara Black from Zimbabwe.
For Blake, who-like Davenport in 1996-has yet to advance beyond the quarterfinals in a Grand Slam, he seems conflicted about the Olympics. In March, he told the press that he is looking forward to competing in Beijing, "but I don't know if it would be the same as winning a U.S. Open or a Wimbledon."
"I think a Grand Slam title in this sport is what's viewed historically as a bigger deal," he added.
Still, he said he is looking forward to meeting athletes from other sports. "Because for them, it's the biggest thing in their careers, and to see how hard they've trained and just talk to them about how much they've sacrificed to get to that point is going to be a lot of fun."
Blake excels on hard courts, and U.S. men's Olympic coach Rodney Harmon thinks the DecoTurf II surface on the Beijing courts-the same hard-court surface at Flushing Meadows, where the U.S. Open is held-will play in the American's favor.
While the Olympic tennis matches won't start until five weeks after Wimbledon concludes, there's "a bit of a log-jam" with the U.S. Open, says Harmon. Opening rounds of the U.S. Open start on August 25, just over a week after the women's and men's singles titles will be contested in Beijing (Aug. 16 and 17, respectively).
"You have to make a decision which to prepare for," Harmon says. Although the hard-court play at the Olympics against the world's top players will be excellent preparation for the U.S. Open, Harmon says the distance to Beijing and time change "make it a little trickier" (than preparing in the traditional stateside U.S. Open Series matches in August).
Andy Roddick has made it clear that the U.S. Open, not the Olympics, is his target this year. Harmon speculates that Roddick, who played in the 2004 Olympics and lost in the third round, is thinking, "been there, done that, it's maybe time to let others have a chance."
"Andy respects the Olympics, he had a great experience in Athens," Roddick's agent Ken Meyerson said via email. "I am expecting him to play in London four years from now. Andy's goal this year is to play well and be ready for the U.S. Open. Rodney's statements reflect our position."
Roddick, who backed out of the French Open with a shoulder injury, was unavailable for comment.
Olympic tennis may not garner the spotlight like women's gymnastics or men's swimming. But a medal-and even the Olympic experience-is special.
"The gold medal is a sign that you're the best at your particular sport," Harmon says. "You can win the U.S. Open or French Open, but they come up every year. This doesn't come up every year."
Or as Roddick said after losing in Athens: "You can't say 'next year.'"

Standing Up in Turkey: Civil Disobedience and the "Standing Humans" Campaign
we see the emergence of a civil disobedience campaign right before our eyes in Turkey: people literally standing up for what they believe.
Civil disobedience is a powerful tool, which exposes the hypocrisy of brutality. It was true in the American civil rights era, and it is true for the Standing Human Beings of Turkey.

Many people believe that dogs' mouths are cleaner than their own, but this is typically not the case. In fact, VCA Animal Hospitals reports that more than 80% percent of canines 3 years and older likely have some sort of dental issues—including periodontal disease, which is one of the most common canine diseases.
Periodontal disease is a term used to describe inflammation and infection of the tissues surrounding the tooth. When tartar builds up on a dog's teeth, the gums become irritated and often infected and the gum tissue will begin to recede, according to VCA. If the issue is ignored, eventually the tooth will become loose and eventually fall out. This condition can be painful for a canine as the sensitive root and bony tooth socket will be exposed. The infection also persists in the gum tissue and this can lead to local mouth infections. Bacteria can also be absorbed into the blood stream and be carried to other organs—such as the kidneys, liver and heart—and cause damage.
"There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding a pet's oral health," said Dr. Jan Bellows, the new president of the American Veterinary Dental College, in a press release. "Dogs' mouths are certainly not cleaner than a human's. Dogs often carry a variety of germs and bacteria in their mouths that stem from buildup of plaque and tartar. Many pet owners believe that any type of chewing is good for their dogs, but tooth fractures are a common occurrence in pets."
The best way to prevent dental issues is to perform daily toothbrushing and take your dog to the veterinary hospital for regular dental checkups. Proper dental cleaning involves giving shots to dogs of anesthesia so the vet can safely perform a thorough cleaning.

Warming Trend: Lisa Pomerantz's New York Apartment
Rome is a city of palaces. The Italian prime minister governs from the Palazzo Chigi, the president from the Quirinale; the Senate meets in the Palazzo Madama, the Chamber of Deputies in the Montecitorio. The Trevi Fountain abuts the Palazzo Poli. And art lovers swarm to the enormous Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, which houses a famous gallery filled with glorious works by Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, and Velázquez—most famously his circa-1650 portrait of the Pamphilj family's most intimidating member, Pope Innocent X.
The living room's pair of armchairs came from the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, the red-leather chair is from the 1930s, and the sofa is covered with a Tunisian cotton blanket; the bookcase is custom made, and the antique rug is Iranian.
The Doria Pamphilj has an illustrious, if complicated, history. Begun in the early 1500s, it rose around a large colonnaded courtyard that was reputedly the work of Donato Bramante, the architect who provided the original designs for St. Peter's Basilica. Construction didn't really finish until late in the 19th century, and today the palace is mainly known as a Baroque monument containing not only the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, but also 250 private apartments, among them some of the city's most sumptuous interiors. Italian public relations guru Roberto Begnini occupies one such dwelling. For a culture maven like him, "a place that's so identified with the city," he says, is the ideal home. He calls it "molto, molto Roma—the maximum of Rome."
In the living room of Roberto Begnini's apartment in Rome's Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, the antique trunk and 1920s portraits are Chinese, the lithograph is by Miela Reina, and the watercolor is by Cristiano and Patrizio Alviti; the tiled flooring was installed in the 1930s.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: poor organisationIn full: The actual run was nice; trail, muddy, one steep hill. A rather nice run around a country estate. However, the organisation left something to be desired. Couldn't find the entrance, poorly sign-posted and badly written directions. When we did eventually find it there was about a 10 minute walk to the start line and then a 20 minute delay in starting. The marshals were friendly but it was just the organisation.Date of review: January 4, 2015
In short: Nice race course but terrible value for moneyIn full: I don't have a problem with the actual route, it was good and challenging, which it would be being in an army area.2 problems;1. 4 TOILETS - there was a long queue at the beginning so they need to sort this out.2. NO MEMENTO, GOODY BAG - only a banana at the end, not even a cereal bar, even for the 20k3ers. What is my money being spent on? Probably lining someone's pocket. I was quite disappointed at this.I won't be doing this race again for the second reason.Date of review: August 17, 2013
In short: great support, lovey weather, ok organisationIn full: My first marathon so it will always hold a special place with my. Being injured from the start, it was tough going, but the magnificent support helped my through. The weather was lovely and everyone running was really inspiring. However, a few things that annoyed my a little. Having to collect race packs meant a hotel stay which increases cost substantially so if they did that next year I wouldn't do it again. The hotels know a lot of people are staying so charge extortionate amounts for a pokey little room (even though I booked in Jan). This isn't marathon organisers fault but it would have been better if they could have mailed them out.I think there were plenty of water and fuelling stations and enough loos. The water pouches were really handy, much better than bottles.Overall brilliant experience although I would only do it again if they sent the race packs out because otherwise it's just too expensive.Date of review: April 15, 2013
In short: Friendly marshals great organisation and lovely sceneryIn full: Despite the cold and windy conditions, this was a lovely race in what is a lovely part of the country. Judging by last years reviews they had a lot to improve on and I think they did. Everyone was really friendly as well. The goody bag was rubbish but there was a tshirt and medal so that's ok.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: lovely scenery, poor organisationIn full: The actual race was nice; lovely scenery and the challenging hills I can't complain about. The organisation on the other hand was something else. Although the marshalls were really friendly there were letdowns. It really wasn't clear at the beginning were we were supposed to start, I heard people asking many times and many confused faces. Secondly, the distance markers were practically none existent so i ended up going about 3 miles further than what i needed (one of the marshalls had told me I had gone too far). Apparently at the drink station i carried on instead of making a right turn towards home. Oh well, I thought, all good practice for the Brighton Marathon. But then there was no goody bag at the end, which i use to top up my fuel when I finish (cereal bars etc). It was over £20 to enter so i did expect one.I don't like making a fuss and being negative but i feel this is something i have to point out.Date of review: February 27, 2013
In short: Average raceIn full: To be honest, I've participated in better races. Yes there's a lot of cheering which is brilliant but the scenery was a bit dull and as for the price; waaaaay too much for an average 10 miler.My sister did it for the first time this year and she also thought it wasn't anything overally special for the same reasons.On a more personal note, I'm not interested in PBs and like off road hilly races, hence why I didn't give this one a particulary good score.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: glorious scenery, tough hills, great support...AWESOME!!!In full: There is no better way to experience the glorious Hampshire countryside than running in a race like this. I felt brilliant all through the race; the mud and hills made it tough but well worth it and the volunteers were amazing. Nice support running through the villages and a nice medal and goody bag at the end. Not for the faint hearted...which makes it even better :DDate of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Fast, flat, lots of crowds and cheersIn full: I really enjoyed running my first Great South Run. Being from around the area I've wanted to do it for a while. It was lovely and flat so no horrible hills and even got a few personal cheers as the organisers had put our names on our bibs. Would love to do it again!Maybe they could make it into a longer race, a half marathon would be great :)Only one thing...they needed more water stations but other than that, parking and organisation was excellent.Date of review: October 30, 2011
In full: This was my first half marathon and really enjoyed it. Lots of people giving it a true festival atmosphere. I can't complain about the actual race day at all, it was an amazing experience and hope to do it again.There was only one thing that annoyed me though. When I filled the form out I put down a completion time of about 2 hours 15. However, they put me in the 'sub 1:40' colour band, which worried me at the start. Hopefully they'll get it right next time but I'm not too annoyed now as I managed to complete it in just under 2 hours....WOOP WOOP :)Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: hilly in places but very welcoming and good for a first raceIn full: All abilities took part so it's really good for a first race. Wollaton Park's very scenic albeit a little hilly in places so you definitely get a good workout. Only a couple of hundred people and the atmosphere's really easy-going and relaxed, which is also great. In short, good little local event and would recommend for first-timers (like me).Date of review: April 2, 2011

Maybe if I beat others who "cover" Pandora
Because right when you think it can't get any worse, it does. A handful of scribes take the Pandora story to new and even more shameful depths.
Already this week we have seen Business Insider publish an eight-month old blog post passing it off as "today's" news. Then there was Greg Sandoval's Pandora hit job over at The Verge where he passed off Tim Westergren dining on a "truffle-infused Kobe beef burger" with investment bankers as somehow germane to the royalty conversation. Earlier in the same article, Sandoval passes off the inability of All Things D's Peter Kafka to conduct real reporting as a pockmark against Pandora. Of course, that's what they teach you in Journalism 101: Tweet the CTO of a public company to get answers to your most vexing questions.
This is where we are -- next these guys will pick through Westergren's garbage and produce smashed vinyl copies of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. They'll mark it as "EXCLUSIVE" or "BREAKING" and take pats on the back from the clique of colleagues and "industry sources" they work so feverishly not to piss off. Forget doing actual work to get the real story or find something closer to the truth; it's not about the reader, it's about the personal relationships they maintain that the general public couldn't care less about.
We have come to a point where not only in this story, but, sadly, in the broader scope, journalists routinely make something out of nothing and expect companies to spoon feed them information in lieu of doing actual journalism.
It's a pretty crappy day when I have to use relationships I have worked to establish to find out that Tim Westergren selected the "truffle-infused Kobe beef burger" off of the buffet at a reception hosted back around 2006. What bearing that has on the royalty dustup, I'll never know. And, newsflash to Sandoval, most urbanites can walk a few blocks from where they rest their heads to secure truffle-infused Kobe beef burgers and equivalent fare.

I was wondering why Soy, I've never used Soy Oil personally
Sunflower oil is the most common oil were I'm from.
I've never purchased "Vegetable Oil" only, Olive, Corn, and canola.
Anyway, I used your percentage on the first page and used OO instead, I didn't follow the same method as I couldn't make pie tonight but if I get bad results I will follow your method to the T apart from Soy Bean oil.Also tried the UltraGrain in some cookie dough and it turned out OK, it needed more sugar than normal to get a nice flavor but it didn't taste healthy
Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm originally from the UK, sunflower was always more prominent.
When you speak of regime do you mean the kneading and proofing?
Thanks for your formula November. Here's a crumb shot of the dough I made with your formula on page one, the only difference is Olive Oil instead of Soy.

Beyond Cap-and-Trade
To make their case, Nordhaus and Shellenberger are forced to cherry pick data.to make this claim. Ted Nordhaus's uncle, the Yale University economist William D. Nordhaus, has written eloquently on the topic. Companies don't care that their inventions may set the stage for others to create profitable new products, he says, and as a result, they don't invest enough in research. The logical prescription: spend public money on research.
Only with the right market incentives can we create conditions for developing and deploying new technologies.emissions reduction goals science tells us are necessary.

Take a Stroll Down Rochester's ARTWalk
When I meet people who have recently moved to Rochester and are looking for interesting places to go for an afternoon walk, I usually direct them to our many amazing parks because of their natural beauty. It recently occurred to me, however, that one of the most charming places in Rochester to wander around is in fact not natural green space, but instead urban and man-made.
Rochester's ARTWalk is a nationally recognized collection of art that has been integrated into the urban environment throughout the Neighborhood of the Arts (NOTA – primarily the area surrounding the intersection of University and Atlantic). Developed in phases over the past decade, ARTWalk consists of sculptures, unique benches, tiled streetlight posts, and all sorts of other artistic-and-functional creations. My personal favorite is the umbrella bus stop shelter located on University Ave by its intersection with Elton Street.
My recommendation: take a look at the NOTA map, plan to start and end at the corner of University and Atlantic by Starry Nites Cafe (one of the most awesome joints in Rochester), and chart out a path through the neighborhood based on how far you feel like walking. Aside from the art, the main block along University is also home to a handful of great businesses. In particular, Chocolate & Vines is perfect if you're in the mood for a nice glass of wine and sweets; Edibles is a fantastic restaurant if it's time for dinner, and also has a fun little bar area if you're in the mood to socialize; and Starry Nites Cafe is the place to relax with a mug of coffee or tea, grab a sandwich, or kick back with a glass of wine.
I personally have found that simply wandering around our many neighborhoods is one of the best ways to truly experience and appreciate the simple greatness of the City of Rochester, and this unique feature of our city is one that everyone should take the time to check out. So next time you have a free evening or weekend afternoon, take a stroll down ARTWalk and experience a Rochester original.
And for more unique Rochester experiences, check out the Rochester Young Professionals' calendar for upcoming events, including the debut of our Outdoors and Recreation activities, a hike through Devil's Bathtub at Mendon Ponds. And remember, RYP is free to join, no commitment required, and is a great way to meet tons of new people!

The academic advisor can be of invaluable assistance to the student in defining and evaluating many goals and options for academic planning.
Undeclared students will create a realistic plan in collaboration with their academic advisors. The plan will focus on helping students complete requirements for their degree in a manner consistent with their academic, personal and career goals; abilities; and skills.
Whom we serve
- Undeclared students
- Non-degree credit students
What we do
As advisors we provide students with academic support for:
- Course selection
- Fulfilling general education requirements
- Developmental, Appreciative and Intrusive Advising
- Tutoring
- Learning about majors and degree programs
- Attaining career and educational goals
- And much more ...
The undeclared student
Undeclared students are those who have not yet identified the program of study they wish to pursue. Approximately 10 to 12 percent of BU freshmen enroll as undeclared. Each undeclared student is assigned an advisor from the center. Students are allowed to remain undeclared until they have earned 45 credits. Undeclared students are encouraged to focus on deciding an area of interest or major through the Career Development Center, volunteerism, job shadowing and other opportunities outside the classroom. A major does not dictate your career, and a career does not dictate your major.
Note: Veteran students utilizing their GI Bill® to pay their tuition can only be in undeclared status for two semesters.
Course selection
BU's general education program offers students the flexibility of exploring career possibilities by taking courses that interest them and still have these credits count toward their degree. We suggest students take at least one or two courses in an area of interest. This may help them identify possible career options.
Scheduling and Grades
Freshmen are blocked scheduled by the registrar in their first semester. Halfway through the second semester freshmen must schedule their own courses for the third semester, preferably with the input of their advisor. This practice continues throughout the rest of their college career. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Falling below that GPA results in academic probation and/or academic dismissal. Federal law stipulates student grades may be provided to the student. Parents wishing to follow the academic progress of their daughter or son must gain the information from their student. Grades are not mailed, however every student can access them using MyHusky.

Strong federal oversight of Medicaid is warranted as the program continues to grow in size and cost, and GAO has had long-standing concern with the adequacy of federal oversight of state Medicaid supplemental payments. Each state administers a Medicaid program and covers a variety of health care services for low-income individuals. The federal government oversees states' Medicaid programs and, by a formula established in law, pays from half to more than three-fourths of each state's Medicaid expenditures. Subject to certain requirements, states establish Medicaid payment rates for providers and may make supplemental payments to providers, which are separate from and in addition to standard state Medicaid payment rates. States make two general types of supplemental payments. First, Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments are required under federal law to be made to hospitals that serve a large number of low-income individuals and are designed to help offset hospitals' uncompensated costs for serving Medicaid and uninsured low-income individuals. Second, states often make non-DSH Medicaid supplemental payments, which are also funded in part with federal dollars, for example to help offset the costs of care provided to individuals covered by Medicaid.
Varied financing arrangements that states use to make Medicaid supplemental payments can inappropriately increase federal Medicaid matching payments. GAO found that, under certain financing arrangements, some states paid state or local government providers supplemental payments that greatly exceeded standard Medicaid rates, resulting in large matching payments from the federal government. Some states required providers to return most, or all, of the large supplemental payments to the state, which the states then used for other purposes. Such financing arrangements threaten the fiscal integrity of Medicaid's federal and state partnership because they effectively increase the federal Medicaid share above what is established by law, and there is no assurance that federal Medicaid funds are used for Medicaid purposes.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) within the Department of Health and Human Servicesthe agency that oversees Medicaid at the federal levelhas taken action to curb inappropriate payments, but gaps in oversight remain. For example, in 2003, CMS began an initiative to closely review supplemental payment arrangements and required states to end those it found inappropriate; however, in 2008, GAO reported that CMS had not reviewed all arrangements to ensure that payments were appropriate and used for Medicaid purposes. In 2009, GAO found that ongoing federal oversight of supplemental payments was warranted, in part because in two of the four states reviewed the states did not comply with federal requirements to account for all Medicaid payments when calculating DSH payment limits for uncompensated hospital care. States calculate these limits to provide assurances that DSH payments to hospitals do not exceed individual hospitals' actual costs of providing services. For a small number of hospitals, the state calculation errors resulted in payments in excess of hospital limits. In two states, a state-operated hospital received combined Medicaid supplemental and standard Medicaid payments that exceeded the hospital's total operating costs by 3 percent in one case and 6 percent in another.
In 2011, under federal regulations, improved transparency and accountability requirements will become effective for state DSH payments, including standards for state calculations of DSH payment limits. Also, states will be required to report DSH payments on a facility basis and to obtain independent audits for their DSH payment reports and calculations. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, reductions in federal DSH expenditures will occur in future years. At the same time, similar requirements are not in place for non-DSH payments, which appear to be increasing. In 2006 states reported making $6.3 billion in non-DSH supplemental Medicaid payments, of which the federal share was $3.7 billion, but not all states were reporting their payments. By 2010, this amount had grown to $14 billion, with a federal share $9.6 billion, however, according to CMS officials reporting was likely incomplete. Requirements for DSH supplemental payments, such as standards for calculating the amount of the payments and reporting of payments on a facility specific basis, do not apply to non-DSH supplemental payments. Further, processes have not been implemented to ensure that all supplemental payment arrangements are reviewed.
In light of the magnitude of Medicaid supplemental payments and recent reported growth of non-DSH supplemental payments, along with past concerns about the inappropriateness of some supplemental payments, further action by CMS is warranted to ensure that these payments are appropriate and used for Medicaid purposes. Some key prior GAO recommendations aimed at improving federal oversight of supplemental payments have not been implemented. In particular, GAO has recommended that CMS establish uniform guidance for states that sets acceptable methods for calculating non-DSH payment amounts, require facility specific reporting of non-DSH supplemental payments, and develop a strategy to ensure all state supplemental payment arrangements have been reviewed by CMS.
Given concerns associated with Medicaid supplemental payments, strong and sustained CMS oversight is necessary. Ensuring that the federal government provides matching funds only for appropriate supplemental payments could result in substantial costs savings.
The information contained in this analysis is based on work GAO has conducted over the past 15 years and recent work to update the status of prior recommendations and payment amounts.

Many manufacturing processes require considerable setup time and offer a large potential for schedule compression. For example, Pratt&Miller Inc. constructed a military spec HMMWV welded spaceframe with best-practice methods, this took 89 billable hours — cutting square tubes, preparing them for welding, and then performing the final welding tasks to build the structure. On analysis, we discovered that the time actually spent on constructive processes was only 3% (slightly over two hours) of that total. Thus 97% of the overall time can potentially be eliminated. We built a system to exploit this opportunity that includes a welding robot, an augmented reality projection system and a laser displacement sensor. To test the system, we fabricated a custom variant of a HMMWV welded spaced frame where pre-process tasks were automated: BOM acquisition, component preparation, sequence planning, weld parameter optimization, fixture planning, workpiece localization and finally automated work assignments were delegated to a robot and a person. In the end, we were able to make the custom welded product nearly 9x faster than was previously possible. This achievement also translates economically to the bottom line because the cost of raw materials was only 6% of the total costs. This talk will highlight the technical achievements that made this possible.

MINI and KISS Rock the Rivals
May 23, 2012
With the launch of the Countryman, MINI had big news. The new bigger model had the potential to grow the brand by 3x, yet, without seeing it in person, prospects couldn't tell how much bigger it was in either size or attitude. The MINI and KISS Rock the Rivals campaign gave people a reason to look closely at the Countryman and test drive one at the dealers, all while benefiting UNICEF.

Hewlett Packard plans to use Palm's webOS and its possible derivatives for various kind of devices, not necessarily smartphones. The chief executive officer of HP claims that slates and web-connected printers are likely candidates for the webOS.
"We expect to leverage webOS and the apps store beyond smart phones into form-factors like slates and web-connected printers," said Mark Hurd, chief executive officer of HP.
The head of one of the world's largest information technologies companies did not reveal when HP plans to start offering slates or printers featuring the webOS, which the company acquired along with troubled smartphone designer Palm. However, Mr. Hurd noted that besides webOS, HP acquired a lot of intellectual property, which will eventually find its place in different products.
"It really has more to do with the intellectual property and in the fact that when you look across the HP ecosystem of interconnected devices, it is a large family of devices. When we think of printers, you have now got a whole series of web-connected printers that, as they connect to the web, need an OS. We prefer to have that OS to be our IP where we can control the customer experience as we have always done in the printing business," said Mr. Hurd during the quarterly conference call with financial analysts.
Although HP is a big expert in software, it remains to be seen whether it can truly make webOS popular among end-users. The operating system was developed by Palm specifically for smartphones, but sales of appropriate devices were not a success for Palm. At present the webOS is naturally not tailored for anything, except smartphones, hence, the quality of user experience is questionable.

Propellantless Space Drive Called "EmDrive" Made in China

It's a a propellantless microwave thruster that defies Newton's laws of motion
Chinese scientists have taken on a heavily criticized space drive idea that could one day launch satellites, deep space probes and even flying cars.
The research team hails from Northwestern Polytechnic University in Xi'an, and was led by Yang Juan. What they developed was a propellantless microwave thruster called EmDrive, which is a controversial idea because it goes against Newton's laws of motion -- and many have claimed to create a "propellantless" thruster before and failed.
Newton's laws of motion are all based on the idea that firing propellant out of the back at a high speed will push a craft forward. While
solar cells offer infinite power
, thrust is limited by propellant. Many have tried to get around this, but several scams have made this particular field a joke in the scientific world.
While space drives tend to rely on Newton's laws of motion, the EmDrive is a closed, conical container that has a net thrust toward the wide end when filled with resonating microwaves. This goes against Newton, who said that no closed system could have a net thrust. However, EmDrive works because the microwaves have a group velocity (the speed of a collection of electromagnetic waves) that is greater in one direction than the other -- which is where Albert Einstein's theory of relativity comes in.
British engineer Robert Shaywer, who began looking at the concept of a propellantless thruster when he opened his own company called Satellite Propulsion Research in 2001, is the original creator of the EmDrive. He made demonstration thrusters to prove it could be done, and even made sure the test results were accurate (meaning, the results weren't affected by friction, ionization, air currents, electromagnetic effects or interference). The first, made in 2003, had a thrust of 16 mN. This was enough to show it could be done.
However, he received a ton of criticism for his idea and was ridiculed in his own country. But the Chinese team at Northwestern Polytechnic University believed in his research and took the project head on to author the latest study, "Net Thrust Measurement of Propellantless Microwave Thruster."
The Northwestern Polytechnic University team was able to create the EmDrive with 720 mN of thrust with a couple of kilowatts of power.
So what purpose does EmDrive have? It could halve launch costs of satellites because as much as half
the launch weight
of these objects are attributed to propellant.
Shawyer is even working on a superconducting thruster that could be ready as soon as 2016. It would boost the Q value of the cavity, which determines the amount of thrust produced. He said it could be boosted by a factor of several thousand, possibly equating to a tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

About the Author: Josh Glazeroff serves as the Visa Chief in the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
Working as a consular officer means usually I am able to go home at the end of the day without any sort of "homework." There may well be some visa applicants hoping for a change in their answer ("no"), but generally speaking, I get to turn my mind off of work and focus on my family. On a Saturday evening, I was trying my best to put together my kids' tricycles, newly-arrived in our freight shipment, when I was reminded that consular work is not always left behind at the office.
On September 13, the Consul General phoned me at home around 6:30 p.m. to say that a series of bombs had gone off in several markets across New Delhi. We had to get the word out to American citizens via our warden network, and then do our best to assist any Americans who may have been injured, or killed, in the blasts. He was outside the city, so I raced to my office to work on the message we would distribute.
Quickly putting together the essentials -- bombs had gone off, take extra care and listen to the news -- I called it in to Washington for clearance and sent it out via email. I headed to a meeting with senior embassy staff; the decision was then made to take an extra step. We had heard reports of more than a dozen people killed and perhaps as many as a hundred injured; we needed to go out to confirm whether any Americans were among those taken to the hospitals.
Several of us went out on those streets, wondering if there were more bombs waiting for us (the news continued to report the finding of undetonated packages), uncertain if we'd be allowed past the security cordons set up by the police, thinking about what we would see when we reached the hospital wards. I went with two Indian colleagues to the major triage facility, a government hospital not far from the U.S. embassy. When we arrived, we found a mob of press reporters, with cameras, microphones, and tape recorders in hand. The Home Minister was making a statement that the government was working to prevent more attacks. We moved past the crowd and inside to the hospital, where we found people -- some with bloody clothes, most looking in shock -- lying everywhere on stretchers. We asked both medical and police personnel for help. There were no reports of foreigners at that location, but they gave us a list of other sites to check.
Our teams visited a total of seven medical centers that night. As I sat with the grieving and exhausted family members, waiting as their bloodied and traumatized relatives received treatment, I realized that an event like this literally shatters the sense of calm and stability of the space we have created for ourselves. It reminds you that everything you do -- work, time with the family, travel -- is part of your life, and that life is more precious than anything else.

Answer by Dr. Elisabeth Drake
Hi Marwa!
Thanks for a good question, but you didn't say enough about what you really would like to do in the future. If you are interested in pharmacy, then a Master of Science would be more useful. (I don't know whether this alone would qualify you as a pharmacist, but it certainly would give you a good background for taking any professional license exams.) If you think you would like to keep your options open for a broader range of careers, then engineering management might be the better alternative. I suggest you talk with some of your professors about this also, since they already know your strengths. And know that you will always keep learning as you move forward in any career, and will get to know your own interests better as well.
Many good wishes!
