If you would like more information on this, or any of our PAL youth programs, contact Lakeland PAL Director Tim Abram:
Lakeland PAL in partnership with Lakeland Simpson Park brought together girls from the local AAU league to form a girls PAL basketball league, which is the direction we are headed in for FY 2014. PAL took 14 & Under and 12 & Under all girls teams to compete in the Florida State PAL Youth Basketball Tournament in April 2013. Other PAL organizations competing were Lake Wales, Melbourne, New Smyrna Beach, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and many others. Our girls played hard games of basketball and after playing with no breaks Friday and Saturday, the 12 & Under Team walked away with a Bronze medal against Melbourne PAL. We would like to give accolades to both teams for playing so earnestly.
Congratulations to Coach Madericka Williams and the Lady Canes 12 & Under team!! We also thank Coach Latisha Jones and the 14 & Under team for their hard work persistence.

Christie's Sell Edward Curtis' The North American Indian2013-10-04 1 2 Share Tweet
Auction giant Christie's recently sold a huge lot containing Edward Curtis' amazing 'The North American Indian' collection. Check out some of the photos below and how much it went for!
Art auctioneer Christie's recently auctioned off huge lots of National Geographic's "The Art of Exploration" collection, which includes a wide variety of work, including NASA photos, Steve McCurry prints, and this whopping set from Edward Curtis=. The whole lot was estimated to fetch $700,000 – $900,000 and it actually sold for $902,500. It included The North American Indian, Portfolios 1-20; and Volumes 1-20, which is full of large format portrait work of American Indians, and documentation of their day to day life.
Now that's a worthy addition to anyone's art collection! Now only if I had a spare million Dollars or two… Anyway, here are a few samples of Edward Curtis' work, for those unfamiliar!

Aaron Dobson 's left foot is still barking at him months after he first injured it. According to the Boston Herald's Jeff Howe, Dobson has been told to rest his foot, which has impacted his offseason training regimen somewhat. The team's medical staff is keeping an eye on him, and it will decide in about two weeks whether the rest was sufficient to let the foot heal or if Dobson needs surgery.
Howe said, via a source, "It's unclear how long the recovery period would be, but it sounds unlikely [Dobson would] be cleared in time for the April 21 launch of the Patriots' offseason program if he needs the procedure."
Dobson said his foot started bothering him in October. Then during Week 12, he developed a significant injury in the foot and missed the following four games. He re-aggravated the injury in Week 17, which forced him to miss the team's divisional round playoff game. Dobson was active for the AFC Championship, but caught just two passes on three targets for 33 yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
An operation, given that Howe's timetable is correct, won't crush Dobson's growth as a player or potential as a 2014 fantasy breakout. The Patriots just need to make sure that surgery, if needed, will cure what ails him once and for all. We'll keep you updated on Dobson's progress and any future physical setbacks he might encounter. For now, he is a big-time sleeper/value pick.

Manipulating the in utero environment may alter the onset of cancers that appear later in the lives of mammals, according to a new University of Toronto study published in the journal Carcinogenesis.
"We know that cancer-causing agents can travel across the placenta and harm the developing embryo or fetus," says Professor Peter Wells of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. "This study provides the first direct evidence that changing the uterus's molecular environment — in this case, by increasing the presence of antioxidants by adding vitamin E to the mice's diet — alters the carcinogenic process in adult life."
Wells and doctoral student Connie Chen worked with pregnant mice that had been genetically altered to lack one or both copies of the p53 gene, which results in a high incidence of cancers among their offspring. Prior to and throughout pregnancy, these mice were given either a normal diet or one supplemented with a high dose of vitamin E. The offspring were then observed for DNA damage and the onset of cancer. Two additional control groups, with both copies of the p53 gene intact, were also used in the experiment, one of which was given the vitamin E supplemented diet.
"Increased levels of vitamin E reduced in utero deaths among the offspring from 40 per cent in the control groups to five per cent in the test groups. In contrast, surprisingly, it also increased the onset of cancer in the offspring," Wells says. "Offspring that were exposed to vitamin E and lack one or both copies of the gene developed cancers nine per cent and 21 per cent faster than the equivalent control groups."
The amount of DNA damage also varied according to the concentration of vitamin E in tissue areas. Skin tissue from vitamin E-exposed offspring showed increased DNA damage, suggesting a potential mechanism for cell-specific enhancement of cancer, while brain tissues showed a decrease and liver tissue was unaffected.
Wells says that the selective effect of high-dose vitamin E on tissues in this study may explain why the vitamin has had different effects on different cancers and populations in other studies, and reveals the importance of tissue types in cancer study design. In contrast to high-dose vitamin E, preliminary studies using a much lower dietary dose found a protective effect, suggesting that optimal adjustments to the in utero environment, which may increase a fetus's protection from oxidative stress, could prolong the time before some cancers occur and reduce the rate at which they spread.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the (American) National Institutes of Health funded this study.

Ripoff Report
Charles Huckabee; Progressive Insurance AgentInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am a 27 year old responsible homeowner, with a driving record clean as a whistle. The day before Thanksgiving, we had a major snow storm, which caused a sheet of ice on the driveway of a home we were visiting. My car lost control due to the ice and slid down the hill (out of my control). I have been with progressive since 2008 and have never made a claim until that day. Charles Huckabee, whom is the agent handling my case from the beginning was very unclear about how the process would go for me (i've never made a claim...so I needed someone to be very clear.) I drove a Chevy Tahoe (seats 8 people)I have a large family and when he told me he was setting up a rental car, I told him that I had a large family and couldn't drive anything other than an SUV...I won't fit in anything else. Weeks later Enterprise calls me and says that they still haven't received the "upgrade" acceptance from Progressive, this was the first that I heard of an upgrade. From that very first day that I explained to Mr. Huckabee that I needed an SUV, he should've explained to me that "an SUV is an upgrade, and that I would need to have it turned in in less than 30 days"that is what customer service is, explaining, making sure the customer understands...when..what..how - Especially through this process (my car's repair is taking 2 months.) I called Charles Huckabee after Enterprise called me and I was unable to reach him (I always get his voicemail, even during office hours).I never had a conversation with Charles "huck" Huckabee after that, until today. I was told to turn in my rental car on Dec 29th. Mr Huckabee even called to remind me to have the car back on Dec 29th. I retured my rental car promptly. Today there was a $500+ charge on my credit card from Enterprise, I called the rental company and they said that my insurance company never approved the "upgrade." I called Mr. Huckabee this morning about 9am, He finally returned my call at about 5pm. He told me that there was nothing he could do about the charge. I had explained to him early on that I had a spare company car that I could use when the time came to turn in the rental and that I didn't want any extra money coming out of my pocket. Mr Huckabee must have been too busy during the holiday season to explain to me, his customer - that I needed to have the car back a week early to prevent a $500+ charge to my personal account. He never told me to have the car back early. How can he get away with this?

Skin Picking Gets Status As Distinct Disorder
TORONTO - Angela Hartlin's legs are covered with small bloodied sores that overlay myriad scars, ghost-like reminders of similar lesions that have dotted her skin for years.
For more than decade, she has been obsessively picking at the skin on her legs, chest and face — sometimes for many hours at a time — and she can't find a way to stop.
Hartlin suffers from skin picking disease, a disorder classified for the first time as a distinct entity in the just revised psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5.
Skin picking, or dermatillomania as it's formally known, was long considered an offshoot of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). And that has made it difficult for those with the condition to get treatment, or even to have it recognized by many as anything more than a bad habit.
(Story continues below slideshow.)
Can't help but pick? Here are 9 things you should stop picking at and what you can do instead:
WHAT IS IT?: Acne (which includes whiteheads and blackheads) is a skin condition that causes pimples on the skin. Acne can be caused by hormonal changes, pregnancy or even stress. DON'T POP: Popping zits, whiteheads and blackheads (as tempting as it is) can cause an increased risk of scarring or a secondary infection, says Dr. Shannon Humphrey, director of continuing medical education and clinical instructor, department of dermatology and skin science at the University of British Columbia. Getting rid of acne isn't the same for everyone. Humphrey says medication is one option and cosmetic procedures are another. If you're looking for a natural way, there are specific foods like garlic and fennel that can help prevent breakouts.
WHAT IS IT?: Plugged follicles (or pores) on your skin that create a dark brown or black colour DON'T POP: Similar to pimple popping, squeezing blackheads can also cause more redness, skin trauma or sometimes even bleeding. Humphrey says if you're trying to extract your blackheads at home, make sure you're gentle. "Use a vitamin A cream, this will make your skin cells less sticky and the blackhead comes out easily," she says.
WHAT IS IT?: Common skin disease caused by a virus. Warts often appear on the hands and feet. DON'T POP: When you pop or try to remove a wart yourself, you can transmit the virus from one area to another, Humphrey says. Ask your doctor for removal methods, but common ones include using salicylic acid.
WHAT IS IT?: Dead skin clogging up a hair follicle, forcing it to grow underneath the skin DON'T POP: "It's more effective to know why they come in the first place," Humphrey says. Are you shaving your armpits? This could be one cause. Humphrey recommends something more permanent like laser treatment, especially if you get ingrowns often. Otherwise, if you stop shaving or waxing regularly, they tend to go away.
WHAT IS IT?: Fluid-filled bumps that grow on skin. Common ones include friction blisters, caused by wearing tight shoes DON'T POP: "When the roof of a blister is intact, it's sterile," Humphrey says. Popping your blisters can cause further scarring or risk of infection. But sometimes, after a hot shower, blisters can pop on their own. "If it's very fresh, you may want to put an antibiotic, but there's not much you can do if it pops," she says.
WHAT IS IT?: Skin condition that causes foul smelling fluids in sac-like bumps under or over the skin. DON'T POP: "Repeatedly popping a cyst won't get rid of the problem and it can cause inflammation," Humphrey says. To treat a cyst, talk to your doctor about a surgical procedure — cysts don't go away on their own.
WHAT IS IT?: Small amounts of blisters around the mouth caused by the herpes simplex virus DON'T POP: Just like warts, popping or picking at cold sores (which can also be painful) can transmit the sore from one area to another, Humphrey says. Smaller sores can heal over time with petroleum-based creams, but if your cold sores are frequent or spreading, consult a doctor.
WHAT IS IT?: Painful ulcers found inside the mouth that seem to appear on their own, Humphrey says. DON'T POP: "Popping them would be painful," she says. Instead, canker sores usually go away on their own. If you get them once a month, you should visit a doctor for further treatment.
WHAT IS IT?: A rough crusty patch that forms over a wound over time DON'T POP: We get it, when you get a scab, you're tempted to pick. Humphrey says wounds often heal better when they're moist, so rubbing an ointment on your scab may help it heal faster.
Hartlin, who lives in Halifax, says there are no medical specialists in her province who can provide treatment for skin picking disease, or even acknowledge it as a separate diagnosis on the spectrum of psychiatric disorders.
"I went through years, I just felt so embarrassed and had so much shame," says Hartlin, 26, who began digging at her skin at about age 13. "I thought I was the only one for years, and I think that is the worst part, that disorders such as this feed into that isolation and make it worse."
Often she will pick at her skin — what she perceives as in-grown hairs on her legs, or bumps and blemishes on her chest and arms — without conscious awareness while watching TV or sitting at her computer.
Even sleep brings no respite: "I wake up with blood on my legs. I wake up sometimes and I have blood on my fingers from picking at my legs while I'm asleep."
At other times, the picking is more deliberate, triggered by a trip to the bathroom, where she can get entrenched in an episode she feels powerless to stop.
"It takes up a lot of time. If I don't go to bed at a certain time, by about midnight, then I get stuck in the bathroom for well over an hour," she explains. "But when I was younger, like about 20, I used to get caught up in the bathroom for eight hours.
"And sometimes I didn't realize how much time had passed. Sometimes I did but I was just ... I had to keep going to get that feeling."
She has trouble explaining the feeling: it does seem to relieve anxiety and it has a component of self-gratification, a cathartic sense of accomplishment that she has successfully removed what she sees as defects on her skin.
"I'm in a zone where it's just such a fixation that I can't do anything else. I can't think of anything else or focus on anything else. I have to do that."
Toronto psychiatrist Dr. Peggy Richter says everyone picks at their skin to a certain degree, whether that's popping a pimple, squeezing a blackhead or pulling off a scab.
"This is normal behaviour," says Richter, director of the clinic for OCD and related disorders at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, who specializes in treating skin picking and trichotillomania, or compulsive hair pulling.
"But is this a recurrent problem that we have to work at stopping? No. For most of us, it's an isolated event.
"Whereas for these folks, they may have damaged their skin to such a point that they are significantly distressed and very self-conscious about the impact on their appearance and how others perceive them," Richter says.
"The reality of the impact may be such that they're not comfortable going out on a bad picking day because they have raw red areas on their face, for example, that are painful. So maybe they're calling in sick for work a few days a month after a bad episode."
Among Richter's patients are parents who won't take their children to school after a bad picking bout the night before, and some who have dug at their skin so much they need stitches.
One man, who primarily excavates in-grown hairs in his beard area and often creates deep lesions, began stitching himself with a needle and thread because he got tired of going to the emergency department, she says.
"And he's extremely distressed and very self-conscious and experiencing pain because of it. And he had significant scarring, very significant scarring, with a very real objective impact on his appearance because of it.
"But he could not stop."
Sarah Roberts, a PhD candidate who works with a University of Montreal team that researches obsessive disorders like skin picking, says many of those afflicted don't use only their nails. Implements like nail files and tweezers are also employed to gouge out imperfections in their skin, which can lead to infection.
"The criteria for almost any DSM disorder involves distress or impairment in functioning," Roberts notes. "So we're talking about someone who has to see the doctor because their skin is infected because they picked at it so much."
Richter said the exact cause of dermatillomania isn't known, but it occurs more in families with a history of OCD spectrum disorders, suggesting there is a complex genetic vulnerability to the disorder.
An estimated one to four per cent of the population may have the disorder, with women more often affected. But prevalence studies are not definitive, and indeed research of any kind on the condition is relatively sparse.
Treatment primarily involves cognitive behavioural therapy, specifically habit reversal, says Richter, who has treated about 100 patients with skin picking and hair pulling over the last decade or so. While only about half have recovered fully, overall about 80 to 90 per cent have seen improvement.
"They may still pick but it's more limited, they have a better sense of control," she says, adding that one treatment tactic is introducing "competing responses" such as squeezing a stress ball or clenching one's fists — activities incompatible with picking.
Besides dealing with the physical, there are also emotional issues to tackle — often a long-standing sense of worthlessness and self-disgust, adds Richter.
Those feelings can impair the ability to have relationships, especially with a romantic partner.
"Imagine how you feel about getting into an intimate relationship with a possible serious life partner when your skin looks like you have cigarette burns all over it or raw patches that would make it painful to be touched."
Hartlin, a child and youth care worker, says she avoided dating for a long time, afraid that a guy would discover her secret affliction.
"My actual mantra that I kept saying in my head for years, over and over, was that nobody could accept the mess on my body, let alone the mess inside my head that caused it."
But for the last three years, she has been in a relationship with a man she met online, and a month ago they got engaged.
He is supportive and encouraging, she says, and built her website aimed at helping others with the disorder (www.skinpickingsupport.com). Her self-published book from 2009, "Forever Marked: A Dermatillomania Diary," can be ordered through the site.
Now that the DSM-5 officially recognizes skin picking disease, that should lend legitimacy to people struggling to overcome the disorder and hopefully expanded treatment resources across the country, she says.
"Because I've had so many run-ins with doctors, and other people have as well, other sufferers, of doctors not understanding, of doctors chastising. I had a mental health nurse in my area a few years back, she told me that I needed to 'grow up.'
"Now you can just open up that (DSM-5) book and show this."
Hartlin says her skin picking has been less severe since she "came out," and she advises others with the condition to stop hiding and seek help, perhaps by starting with the Canadian Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours Support Network (www.facebook.com/CanadianBFRB).
"For now I'm spreading the awareness and that's my main goal, because that's what makes me truly happier," she says.
Of course, there's no question she wants to be done for good with the compulsion to rend her skin.
"I've learned to live life with this and be happy," she says. "But if I actually found a way to stop doing this, then that would just be an added bonus in my life."

To ignite your drive, build a power portfolio of people you can look up to. Pick a smart mix of inspirational giants and everyday guides.
• Go for stars. Think top-level types are out of your reach? Give it a try. Many leaders are happy to help. "Look for successful people to network with who have achieved what you hope to achieve," Lois Zachary, president of Leadership Development Services and author of "The Mentee's Guide," told IBD. "Use your current network to reach out and expand."
• Be ready to sparkle. When he started his career in the jewelry industry, Randy McCullough ran a chain of stores in Georgia. One year, the wholesale division of New York's Harry Winston jewelry firm held a contest.
The glimmering prize: lunch with Harry Winston himself.
"I made sure I did everything I could do, and I won it," said McCullough, now CEO of Charles & Colvard, a firm that cuts and sells moissanite, a diamond alternative.
Lunch with Winston in 1975 turned into a day with the legendary jewelry executive, then dinner, which became a long mentoring relationship.
"I asked him a lot of questions," McCullough said. "He went out of his way to give me things that you don't learn in school."
• Watch closely. McCullough observed Winston (who died in 1978) walking through his manufacturing floors and salon, stopping to talk to a variety of workers.
To this day, McCullough follows in his mentor's footsteps — strolling through his own company and taking time to ask about projects.
• Picture it. All David Green has to do if he starts to doubt his vision is look above his desk. The view: a 1994 election banner for South African President Nelson Mandela.
"That poster hangs in my office as a daily reminder of someone who did great things by being humble, overcame insurmountable odds and did it with great compassion and integrity," Green said.
When Green was a consultant with Cambridge, Mass.-based Monitor Co. (eventually acquired by Deloitte) in South Africa in the early 1990s, he had the job of helping the post-apartheid South African government grapple with new international trade relationships.
That's when he got the poster. Green is now CEO of medical device developer Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology.
His firm developed a way to rebuild airways using patients' stem cells.
• Hunt for dream drivers. Green shook hands with Mandela, but they weren't close friends. Still, the leader's influence stirs him daily.
"You can even be inspired by people you never met," he said.
Tip: Read about the greats — in your industry and in other fields throughout history — for examples of what you hope to achieve.
• Dig in. Take responsibility for finding mentors. "We've talked with quite a number of people who wish that their companies had mentoring programs so that they could have a mentor," said Zachary.
Her view: Don't wait. "Be more proactive in seeking a mentoring partner," she said.
• Start with why. One common approach: Hunt for chiefs you click with who might become advisers.
Want more impact? Brainstorm the reasons you need a mentor first.
"Identifying what you really want from a mentoring relationship requires some careful thought and reflection," Zachary said.
"In order to be successful at it, you need to start out with a goal in mind, even if it is a broad one. Your goal will help you determine what it is you need from a mentor and give you a starting point for your ultimate selection."

Jay-Z Says a Great Song Is Created 'in Five Minutes'
Rolling Stone is revisiting Jay-Z's essay on the making of a classic record. Last year, the rock magazine updated their 500 Greatest Song of All Time list by adding Hova and in their updated issue posted an introduction from the rapper. The intro made its way online this week, a year after the issue ran.
As for the recipe for a classic song or music, Jay-Z described it in both technical and general terms. "A great song has all the key elements — melody; emotion; a strong statement that becomes part of the lexicon; and great production," wrote Jay-Z while name checking Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
In his essay, the 'Can't Knock the Hustle' rapper delved into a bit of his own creative process. "When I'm writing a song that I know is going to work, it's a feeling of euphoria," wrote Jay-Z. "It's how a basketball player must feel when he starts hitting every shot, when you're in that zone. As soon as you start, you get that magic feeling, an extra feeling. Songs like that come out in five minutes; if I work on them more than, say, 20 minutes, they're probably not going to work."
Jay also cited artists and songwriters like Babyface, Lionel Richie, Rakim, Dr. Dre and Quincy Jones as having influenced various elements to how he creates his own music. Another producer Hov praised was Rick Rubin, who produced '99 Problems,' which is #172 on Rolling Stone's list. Ultimately for Hov, a song becomes great when it leaves a lasting impression, literally and figuratively.
"When a phrase gets stuck in your head like a great melody and becomes part of everyday culture, that's when it can become something great," wrote Jay-Z. "When your music signifies a time in the culture or continues on in everyday life, like 'Say It Loud — I'm Black and I'm Proud' or 'A Change Is Gonna Come.' Or when something like 'Bling Bling' even makes it into the dictionary. Then you know you've done your job."

New Amazon Dolphin Species Discovered, May Become Extinct Soon Because of Human Activity
- Jessica Durham , Design & Trend
- Jan, 24, 2014, 01:33 PM
Animal lovers will be intrigued. Scientists now discovered a new Amazon dolphin species after nearly 100 years.
According to TechTimes.com, a group of scientists reported the discovery of the Inia araguaiaensis, the fifth known river dolphin species in the world, and named it after Araguaia, one of the two major rivers in Brazil, where it was found.
The scientists discovered the new species almost a century since the now extinct river dolphin, Lipots vexillifer, was discovered in 1918.
Any discovery of a new river dolphin species would be hard because river dolphins are one of the rarest and most endangered vertebrates in the planet.
So how did the discovery come about?
Researchers took DNA from the river dolphins in the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers and found that they are different from other known species in Brazil. They also have 24 teeth per jaw as compared to the 25 to 29 found in the other river dolphins in the Amazon river.
"Nonetheless, the researchers believe that the new species originated from the river dolphins in the main Amazon river basin but were separated more than two million years ago when the Araguaia-Tocantins basin was separated from the rest of the Amazon river system," the report said. "The shifting landscape and the river dolphins' inability to swim fast have isolated them from other South American river species."
While this is exciting news, the future of the new river dolphins already seems dreary and hopeless.
"Its future is pretty bleak," said study co-author Tomas Hrbek of the Federal University of Amazonas in Brazil. "The Araguaia-Tocantins basin suffers huge human disturbance and there are probably less than 1000 I. araguaiaensis in existence."
The Lipotes vexillifer became extinct because of human activity, so it's no surprise that scientists believe that the same will happen to the new species.
"Since the 1960s the Araguaia river basin has been experiencing significant anthropogenic pressure via agricultural and ranching activities, and the construction of hydroelectric dams," the authors wrote.
The report was published in the journal "PLOS ONE" on Jan. 22.

Last November Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that a Maserati SUV was in the works that would be produced at Chrysler's Jefferson North plant in Detroit. Now Top Gear has received more info on Maserati's first SUV.
According to one of Top Gear's sources the Maserati SUV is going to be based on the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, but its styling will be so different that you won't be able to make the connection. It will Maserati's trademark front end with a "wavy waistline."
The big news is what will power the Maserati SUV. It's not getting a Ferrari engine, instead it will be Chrysler's HEMI V8. Kinda makes sense, since the SUV is based on a Chrysler platform. The HEMI engine already fits the Jeep Grand Cherokee platform and a Ferrari engine isn't necessarily cheap to buy.
The Maserati SUV will not be quite as off-road focused as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The suspension will be a sophisticated independent system with adaptive damping front and rear. There won't be any air springs.
The Maserati SUV is expected to arrive in late 2013 as a 2014 model.

Thursday, April 26, 2012
Normally when the topic of world peace is brought up within the media, it pertains to situations about solving conflicts between foreign countries. Over the past week, it has been Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, who has filled the headlines for elbowing Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden in the head Sunday.
NBA Commissioner David Stern gave World Peace a seven-game suspension, which will keep him out of the Lakers's regular season finale Thursday and will make him ineligible for the team's first six playoff games. If the Lakers lose their opening series in four or five games, World Peace's suspension will carry over to next season.
After World Peace completes his suspension, he will have been suspended for 116 games in his career, 86 of which he served from his role in a brawl between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons in 2004.
Some people believe World Peace has improved his image over the past few years, but I disagree. In 2011, World Peace did win the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, which is the league's highest tribute for citizenship and community service, but his inexcusable antics on the court have continued.
Just weeks after winning the award, World Peace clotheslined Dallas Mavericks guard Jose Juan Barea in the 2011 NBA Western Conference Semifinals.
He changed his named to Metta World Peace in September 2011. In an interview with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, World Peace explained the name change.
"Metta is going to be the first name and it means like friendship, love and kindness," World Peace said. "World Peace is going to be the last name, so everybody can get ready to buy their World Peace jerseys."
It doesn't seem like World Peace is promoting world peace if he's worried about fans buying his jerseys. His actions of late still show he can't control his emotions.
I don't think a seven-game suspension will get the point across to World Peace. There is a chance the Lakers and Thunder will meet in the Western Conference Semifinals and World Peace would be back for most, if not all of the series.
The NBA playoffs should have exciting matchups, but players like World Peace need to keep their cool. The playoffs need to be peaceful this year, and the less World Peace plays, the more peaceful they will likely be.

At Home with E-commerce
May 7, 2015,
By David Gill
As any home furnishings executive will say, home is big and getting bigger at e-tail.
Home is one of the fastest growing product categories online, with 18 percent sales growth expected each year for the next decade, according to Wells Fargo Securities.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, senior director of category management at Wayfair, said there is great potential for online home furnishings sales as a very small percentage of the $200 billion home furnishings business currently takes place through e-commerce. "As millennials are starting to buy real estate and shopping the Web continues to become easier, there will be plenty of opportunity for the home furnishings category online."
While less than 10 percent of all home furnishings sales occur through e-commerce, enough business has taken place for websites to single out strong-performing home categories. For flash site HauteLook, area rugs have emerged as a hot seller, according to Kecia Hielscher, the site's vice president and executive merchandise manager for home.
Bedding and outdoor furnishings are also popular on HauteLook. In outdoor, "we've had triple-digit comps so far from last year," Hielscher said. And in a recent week, floating speakers for pools was the site's number one performing product, with sales going "through the roof," she said.
Taneja said Amazon has done particularly well in furniture and floor care. "Customers are finding it easier to shop online for furniture as we work with manufacturers to better showcase products with things like lifestyle imagery," he said. "In floor care, we have seen growth in our cordless stick vacuums and robotic vacuum categories, two new categories that customers are looking to learn more about."
Fitzpatrick also identified furniture as a solid performer for Wayfair, but added that the site does well with a range of home categories. "I think a big part of that is having over 7 million products across different price points and aesthetics," he said. "We have a style for everyone, and there are a variety of navigational tools that allow customers to find products that meet their personal criteria."
Recognizing that home is a major opportunity for e-commerce in the years to come, the websites are positioning themselves to take advantage. For Amazon, Taneja said, this means continuing to expand its selection and upgrade the shopping experience. "For example, on items shipped and sold by Amazon.com with product weight or dimensions large enough to warrant special handling while in transit, we offer scheduled delivery and returns," he said. "We are also focusing on ways to optimize the browsing and search experience for customers shopping for furniture and decor" on the site.
At Wayfair, "we are doing a lot more with content and product information," Fitzpatrick said. "We have a better understanding that each customer wants to shop differently, and that means building out a robust platform that tailors to all types of consumers." Content is the key for Wayfair. "The biggest hurdle with online retail for both the furniture and decor categories is that the customer cannot touch or feel the product, and it can be difficult to understand size and scale," Fitzpatrick said.
Pure-play sites such as Amazon and Wayfair have some catching up to do with brick-and-mortar retailers' websites. Wells Fargo evaluated the sites based on several metrics, and "Multichannel retailers beat pure plays in the searchability, product info and post-purchase categories, which is surprising, in our view, given the pure plays have a longer online history, do 100 percent of their business online and, thus, should excel in these categories that improve the online user experience," Wells Fargo said in its report "Home(.com) Is Where the Heart Is."
Multichannel retailers "beat pure plays in the areas of 'inspiration' and 'content'"—hardly surprising "given that the multichannel retailers have more experience in the visual merchandising through stores and catalogs," Wells Fargo said.
At the same time, major brick-and-mortar retailers have been investing more into their websites, and plan to do more investing down the road.
On a conference call to financial analysts, Steven Temares, Bed Bath & Beyond's CEO, noted that the retailer had replatformed both the Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy Baby websites in 2013, "and have since made enhancements to these websites, as well as our mobile Web and mobile apps, and continue to do so." These enhancements include an improved search experience, better image-viewing features on Bed Bath's mobile app and an upgraded online registry experience, he said.
These investments for Bed Bath are continuing. The retailer is planning to open a new customer-service contact center in Utah later this year, which will support its sales growth across all channels, Temares said.
Also, speaking to financial analysts in April, Greg Foran, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., said the retailer has vowed to "strengthen our leadership" in the integration of its stores and its digital sector. While short on specifics, Foran's remarks showed that Walmart is aware of future opportunities from e-commerce.
"With over 4,500 stores, we are within 10 miles of nearly 90 percent of all Americans," Foran said. "I think if I was running a pure-play Internet company at the moment, one thing I would love is to have 4,500—growing to 5,000—distribution points. We have some good ideas in that space and we've got to make sure that we develop the tools and the technology to get there."
At Target's meeting with financial analysts in March, Casey Carl, chief strategy and innovation officer, said the retailer's digital sales are "growing at a breakneck pace," with a growth rate three times the industry average last year (much of the growth coming in home, Carl said). Target has aggressively invested in its e-commerce technology and has earmarked $1 billion in spending on technology and supply-chain infrastructure this year alone.
Regarding Target's e-commerce, "we've made some dramatic improvements to the user experience," Carl said. "More than 70 percent of our digital experiences are brand new, including our desktop, mobile apps and registry experience. In the year ahead, we will continue to invest and expand these capabilities, including moving to more cloud-enabled technology to expand capacity, improve speed and reduce overall costs."

Oil fell in Asia Tuesday as traders engaged in profit-taking following a huge surge the previous day, with Moody's downgrade of French government bonds contributing to the slide, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in January, slid 24 cents to $89.04 a barrel in the afternoon and Brent North Sea crude for January delivery fell 16 cents to $111.54.
Oil surged more than $2 on Monday as violence intensified in the Israel-Gaza conflict, sparking fresh concern about supplies from the crude-rich Middle East.
Israeli strikes killed 32 Palestinians, taking the Gaza death toll to 109 as UN chief Ban Ki-moon joined efforts to end the worst violence in four years.
In Europe, France came under fresh pressure after Moody's became the second of the three major ratings agency to downgrade its top rating.
"Today there's a bit more of a risk-off theme with the French downgrade and a bit of profit-taking on the back of yesterday's big move," said Jason Hughes, head of premium client management for IG Markets Singapore.

U.N. Report Highlights North Korea's Human Rights Abuses
A warning to the leader of North Korea. A United Nations report says Kim Jong Un could be held accountable for orchestrating widespread crimes against civilians– something the North Korean government calls a political plot.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern has the details from Washington DC:
Audio clip:
The near 400 page report from the United Nations human rights panel, describes horrifying atrocities at North Korean political prisons.
Kirby: "His duties included gathering up the bodies of those who had died of starvation and putting them in a pot and burning them."
Michael Kirby, who led the panel– recalling the testimony of a former political prisoner. The report takes the unusual step of including a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un– warning him that international prosecution– perhaps of the leader himself, is needed.
In Washington, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.
FOX's Jonathan Wachtel, has more on the report's findings:
Audio clip:
A chilling section of the 372-page U.N. report describes the vast network of secret prison camps, where hundreds of thousands of North Koreans are believed to have died from starvation, execution and disease. It is estimated that as many as 120,000 political prisoners are still held. The North Korean regime refused to participate in the U.N. investigation and has rejected the findings as part of America's hostile policy.

I ran the .38 Special revolvers through the wringer a few weeks ago, working up and testing some performance handloads. The tests concentrated on four different loads, all using 158 grain lead SWC bullets. As always, the same four revolvers were used, 2 of which have been used for many years for all .38 Special chronograph testing.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 2-inch
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel 4-inch
Smith & Wesson Model 27 .357 Magnum 6-inch (since no 6-inch Smith & Wesson 38 Special revolver was on hand)
Smith & Wesson Model 14 8 3/8-inch
The other tests from this .38 Special epic may be accessed here:
The bullets tested a couple of weeks ago were from a batch I cast perhaps 20-25 years ago using the Lyman No. 358156 mould. They actually weighed 159-160 grains. They were well-formed with nice sharp shoulders and bases. They were made from straight wheel weights with some range lead thrown in as I recall (not very scientific I'll admit). They were lubed with stick Alox. I was a bit concerned that the lube would be dried out but the bullets didn't seem to lead too badly despite being abused with heavy handloads. At the conclusion of the tests the revolvers scrubbed up easily with no sterner measures required to "get the lead out."
Loads tested
The loads tested were published loads from "back in the day." Loading manuals are more mild mannered these days.
5.4 grains of Unique
This was published as maximum by Lyman for many years. A friend has nicknamed it the "Texas FBI Load" and it does make a good substitute for the factory +P 158 grain lead SWC load. The latest formulation of Unique was used for the tests. Unique seems to be "jazzed up" a bit from that used in tests 30 years ago. I first noticed this when testing Unique earlier this year. (1980 velocity tests using 5.4 grains of Unique with the lead 158 grain bullet: 2-inch-847 fps, 4-inch-935 fps, 6-inch 1021 fps, 8 3/8-inch 1007 fps).
5.0 grains of Herco
This was prepared on a whim, just to see what it could do. 5.0 grains seems to be around maximum in most data sources though the infamous Speer No. 8 shows a maximum of 6.5 grains of Herco. It was decided not to take Herco that high.
11.5 grains of 2400
This also was a published maximum by Lyman for many years. Some folks considered this to be a .38-44 equivalent handload for the .38 Special. The latest formulation of 2400 was used. I'd tested this load many years ago but the data didn't get recorded for some reason so a retest was needed. I was curious about the performance level of 2400 with the 158 grain lead SWC in the .38 Special.
8.0 grains of SR 4756
"The Load" It's bigger! it's better! It'll give all the performance one can squeeze out of the .38 Special. This is the starting load for this powder as published in the Speer No. 8 guide. I'd hate to try to work this one up to the maximum listed charge weight which is only one grain higher. Whether it is advisable to use even the listed starting load is subject to debate. Probably not. The Speer No. 8 was compiled in the late 1960s. Maybe they were smoking "cigarettes and all kinds of things" while working up loads in their lab back then.
Since we'd already tested 5.1 grains of Unique earlier this year we didn't bother to work up to maximum with it. With the other loads the effort was made to work from arbitrary lower levels in .2 grain increments toward the goal charge weights. Herco was worked up from 4.6 grains. 2400 was worked up from 10.5 grains and SR 4756 was worked up from 7.5 grains.
Working up the three loads in three different .38 Special revolvers was a bit tedious and, frankly I'm not certain that much may be determined by doing this in the .38 Special given its normal operating pressure levels. I wonder if any of the assumed pressure "signs" can be reached until one is operating fully within .357 Magnum territory which is far beyond .38 Special levels. Only the SR 4756 load showed a dab of cratering and that was in my old favorite 4-inch Model 10. Cases for all 4 loads gave normal ejection in all revolvers. Of course both "The Load" and the max. 2400 load could be straying closer to .357 Magnum pressure levels.
Some limited range time was spent shooting these loads at paper to see what sort of accuracy may be expected of them. I'm thinking that the .38 Special revolvers were grateful to see the backside of these tests.

It will be noted that the slower powders still register the highest velocities in the short barrel.
During this test it was surprising to find that both 2400 and SR 4756 gave higher velocities when fired out of the 4-inch and the 6-inch barrels rather than when fired out of the 8 3/8-inch barrel. This has never occurred before and I can't explain it.
It appears that the 2400 load can duplicate the performance of the Buffalo Bore +P 158 grain lead SWC factory load and that "The Load" can whip the Buffalo Bore factory load except in the 8 3/8-inch barrel of the Model 14. Buffalo Bore was the velocity champion in that barrel with the 158 grain bullet weight, strange as it may seem.
How stressful these handloads are compared to the Buffalo Bore load is hard to say. All are probably high pressure with "The Load" likely winning the prize. No primers pierced or flowed and a hint of cratering was only observed on a few, but not all of the primers in the Model 10 Heavy Barrel when used with "The Load." All cases dribbled out of cylinders when started with the ejector rod.
Recoil was brisk but very manageable in the two Model 10s. In the Model 27 and the long-barreled Model 14 recoil doesn't amount to much. All gave a snappy report and "The Load" seemed to give a particularly evil crack. Perhaps it's all in my head though.
"The Load" damaged one my spinning quail discs. I was using the top of a disc for an aiming reference for chronographing and a round fired from the 6-inch Model 27 went high, smacking a quail right on it's narrow welded base, nearly tearing it off the target frame. It has already been mended.
So ends the .38 Special test epic. It only lacked two days taking a year to accomplish the handload testing goals. There are always more factory loads to try and I still have to get some of that pesky W231 so I'll be testing .38 Special some more in future. I don't see any other interesting propellent powders to try when testing really heavy handloads in the .38 Special so will probably not venture into that phase again.
I was hoping to shoot off a couple of the F A '26 .45 ACP cartridges I recently picked up, being able to say that they still gave a good performance over the chronograph screens after all these years, but several tries on two of the three were a bust. They were duds. I saved the best looking one for the collection.
This particular effort centered around handloading the .38 Special for performance using older yet recognized published data. Do not anticipate the same results by using the same loads in your own revolvers. Carefully work up to any load. Take any handloading information found on internet forums with a grain of salt.
This means you!

Top-seed Svetlana Kuznetsova claimed her first WTA title of the season Saturday after Hungarian teen Agnes Szavay retired with a back injury at the 600,000-dollar Pilot Pen tennis hard-court event.
The 18-year-old qualifier had the 22-year-old Kuznetsova struggling when she took the opening set 6-4 before calling it quits with a lower back strain while trailing 0-3 in the second set after one hour, eleven minutes.
"In the middle of the second set at 4-3, the pain started to get worse and worse," a teary-eyed Szavay said. "I played too many matches coming from the qualifiers. This was my first tournament on hard. It takes a lot on the body."
The 41st-ranked Szavay, who will move to a career-best of No 32 next week, hopes to recover just in time for the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the year which starts next Monday in Flushing Meadows.
This was Kuznestova's third-straight victory over opponents who suffered a similar fate this week.
She had advanced from Thursday's quarter-finals when Italian Francesca Schiavone retired after just a set due to a left ankle injury.
On Friday, fellow Russian Elena Dementieva, also threw in the towel in the third set citing dehydration.
"This is not the way I wanted to win my first title but I can't change anything about it," said Kuznetsova who hopes to put up a good show in Flushing Meadows next week despite some health concerns of her own.
"I pulled a muscle a little bit. Nothing serious," said the 2004 US Open champion.
"Even though I never won a Grand Slam after my win there, I feel I'm a better player than I was three years ago."

Solvo, XenoBiotic to Provide In Vitro Transporter Services in the U.S.
XenoBiotic Laboratories established a partnership with Hungary-based Solvo Biotechnology to offer in vitro transporter services in the U.S. Solvo will transfer its efflux and uptake transporter assays to XBL's research facilities in New Jersey.
The services will be made available to American customers through both Solvo and XBL sales channels. Through this collaboration Solvo will be introducing GLP services in addition to its current ISO 9001 certified portfolio throughout its processes.
This partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for studying drug-transporter interactions. As the FDA pointed out in its Drug Interaction Draft Guidance released in February, "similar to CYP enzymes, transporters may be inhibited or induced. Inhibition of transporters by interacting drugs can lead to altered exposure of other drugs that are substrates of transporters. Therefore, the potential for an investigational drug as a substrate, inhibitor, or inducer for transporters should be evaluated during drug development."
Erno Duda, Solvo's president and CEO, comments, "Its strong reputation for providing high-quality science, expertise, and services in drug metabolism and GLP bioanalysis for over 25 years made XBL an attractive partner for Solvo. Being able to offer transporter assays within XBL's facilities in New Jersey in the United States fits into our business strategy of increasing our presence in the U.S., broadening our portfolio with GLP studies and partnering with companies whose portfolio complements ours, and vice versa." Solvo says that it was the first to commercialize transporter assays when it entered the market in 1999.
"Adding transporter assays will further complement our in vitro drug interaction study capabilities, and offer our clients a comprehensive set of ADME services as part of their drug development program," remarks Dennis Heller, vp of pharmaceutical development at XBL. The firm currently provides in vivo and in vitro drug metabolism studies that include CYP and phase II enzyme inhibition, induction, and phenotyping assays.

An Open Letter to Wall Street Journal from a Palestinian Woman
By Amani Al-Khatahtbeh · Muslim Girl · 7.09.14
… Israel treats Palestinians as nothing more than animals. In this case, Israel has placed its "animal" in a cage and keeps prodding it with a stick — or, more accurately, with rubber bullets, tear gas, and even white phosphorous. Then, when the animal bites back, Israel feigns selective memory and moral outrage and punishes it in ways that are unprecedented in our modern history. … Read full article
