"According to the NCAA alcohol policy, "The NCAA does not control the regular season in any sport, nor does it run the postseason for the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. Individual schools and conferences oversee the regular season, including game operations, broadcasting and advertising. The postseason for Division I Football Bowl Subdivision is controlled by the Bowl Championship Series and individual bowl committees."
So, schools can serve alcohol if they want."

We just snuck flasks in and stirred the drinks with the pom-pom shakers they gave out.
This is why I detest bourbon and coke/7up. I've had one too many spilled down my back. I shudder just thinking about the smell...

Generally, I agree with what you are saying, but this is for ONE game. Northwestern has decided to not serve peanuts for ONE game. Is it really gonna kill you to not have peanuts for ONE game.
These folks already do what you say they should do: stay their ass home. But for one game, someone in charge decided to make it so they could come to the game. Someone decided to be nice and give them ONE opportunity to have the same live sporting event experience that everyone else gets to have whenever they want. I'm not seeing a problem.
I've gone to college football games since 1988. I would be surprised if I had peanuts more than 3 times. Are peanuts really that vital to anyone's enjoyment of a game that they can't go without for ONE game?

Fail. An alcoholic has not had a relapse until that devil water hits his lips. Looking at it might make him want it, but until he takes a drink, he's still on the wagon.

You been to a game lately? You sure they still sell beer? They sold beer at Doak until we joined the ACC. ACC rules, I thought, are what prohibited beer sales in the stadium. And Miami's in the ACC now.

Guess its up to each university.
"When Syracuse University begins play in the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014, it will bring something unfamiliar to the current 12-team conference: on-campus beer sales at home games in the Carrier Dome.
SUs move to the ACC likely will not affect the universitys decision to sell beer at home games in the Dome, as the ACC allows its member schools to decide whether or not to sell beer during athletic events the same policy as the Big East."
I guess being off campus does play a role in UM's decision.
"Unlike SU, none of the 12 ACC teams sell beer to the general public or students in on-campus sporting facilities."

Today it's one game. Tomorrow they might decide to make it permanent. The next day, other stadiums might decide to follow suit. The day after that, the NFL might decide to do the same thing. Once they start taking freedoms away, they'll KEEP taking them away. This is what you people don't seem to understand.

Is it really gonna kill you to not go to a football game? Billions of folks somehow make it through life without going to a football game.
I bet you most of them just go to football games and use caution and carry an epipen. The folks who stay home are the hypochondriacs of the bunch. Ive never heard of anyone with a peanut allergy dying at a football game because someone threw a peanut at them.
Is going to a football game so vital to anyones enjoyment of life? Can they not make it through life?
Its really about who should have to bear the consequences of someones medical condition should the entirety of society have to forego doing something that is in no way harmful to anyone, except in the remote possibility that .05% of the population come into contact with the thing or should the .05% have to deal with it.
I think the .05% should have to deal with it and I dont care if it is one game, two games, or every other game. Things like this have a habit of starting small, i.e. one game, and then magnifying into a complete ban, as well.
Pretty soon folks like Squishy and you will be saying, shyte there's plenty of food substitutes for peanuts ... does anyone really need to eat them ... are they that vital to life ... lets just ban them so these folks can live normal lives. Why not; it's the same argument you are making now.

I vowed yesterday to leave this alone, but today is a new day!
I still don't get why you begrudge people who normally live as you ask, nay demand, ONE sporting event where they don't have to worry, where a kid can just be a kid and enjoy an experience that 99.05% of people take for granted. Because they do stay home from places that serve peanuts, they wipe down the seat/table in public places just in case, they do carry epi-pens (probably more than one).
ONE game without peanuts is not going to kill anyone.

So out of Kakadu we gaily drove, planning to top up our supplies at Pine Creek before heading to some more adventure off the Stuart Highway (named after John Stuart, an early pioneer, who probably wrote that 'if at first you don't succeed try, try again' stuff. He kept trying to find the route south to north until he eventually did. He now has lots
of things named after him, though he died forgotten and broke, somewhere in England I think. Or Scotland) Well we were even worse provisioned than he was but Pine Creek was a bit of a disaster and an early lesson in planning properly! There was a campsite and a bar and some fuel. There was internet coverage so we Skyped Steve. There was even a shop – but no food! The shop sold everything from oil to dog food, but no food
We had a long think……… there were only 2 choices – back up to Darwin or down to Katherine. It was a trek back to Darwin. We had 'left Darwin in a whirl'*, enthusiastic to get on the road, and we had been there a week and found it expensive. But we had missed stuff we wanted to do: The Museum, Lichfield etc. I can hear Jeanette and Karen crying! However, John pointed out that we had effectively been in Northern Territory 5 weeks – we spent the last 2 weeks of
our previous holiday here – and it was getting hotter, so it was probably time to move on. So off we went to Katherine. We will do the other stuff next time :>)
We liked Katherine last time and didn't change our mind. It's a funny little place – not
easy to describe – everyone is friendly and chatty. We had coffee in a little gallery cum caf� and met an Australian couple who had been working as part of the Wwoof scheme
(willing workers on organic farms) which they enjoyed. You have to do a few hours work each day in return for board and lodgings. They had had good experiences; met interesting people and saved some money on camps and food. Hmmm.... food for thought. Katherine is a metropolis compared with Pine Creek! It's the only town between Alice Springs and Darwin (circa 900 miles). It's suffered some pretty serious flooding in the past when the town has all but disappeared underwater. We splashed out on a powered site with hard standing and grass so we could rearrange the van a bit
Last time we were at Katherine we went to the Gorge and did a boat trip upriver, seeing crocs. It was lovely but we didn't need to repeat it. Instead we backtracked a few miles and went to Edith Falls, another beautiful series of waterfalls with pools and lagoons. A quiet NP campsite so we thought we would stay 2 nights. We walked up the escarpment in the early morning and swam in the pools. It's a hard life :>)

FDA approves first ethnically targeted drug
The agency called the approval "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."
FDA associate director of medical policy Robert Temple said in a statement that the approval "is a striking example of how a treatment can benefit some patients even if it does not help all patients."
As reported at www.mmm-online.com, an FDA advisory panel recommended that the agency approve the drug last week.
The push to market the BiDil has raised questions about how marketing, regulatory and political considerations play a role in new drug development, with critics of NitroMed saying the company has managed the system and patent law, along with historical inequities, to drive its product to market.
NitroMed, said its decision to test and market the drug now is backed by a study of 1,050 African-American heart failure patients that showed BiDil significantly reduced death and hospitalization.
Analysts expect that potential annual domestic sales of BiDil could reach $825 million based on the 750,000 African-American heart failure patients in the U.S.

iTextiles (TM)
We are a technology company developing interactive learning tools to make learning/teaching a fun, exciting experience and eliminates the need for textbooks and other outmoded learning tools.
The target audience is the faculty and students at colleges and universities offering fashion and merchandizing courses. Textiles is a required course for such programs. The goal is to get faculty to recognize the superiority of this CD/web-based interactive learning software over the textbook - which can not leverage the vast resouces on the net. Also, highlight the fact that textbooks cost a LOT more and are static in nature. The logo should also reflect the new learning style of the tech savvy college students of today.
The logo needs to convey that the software is designed for the learning style of the tech savvy college student of today. Some of the things that are key are :
1.Focus on the ineractive nature of the software
2. Ability to leverage the vast resources on the net
3. Use of high resolution and magnified images to covey
information (there are over 2500 images and some can be provided once we know which would make sense for the design, if needed)
4. Extensive use of audio and videos
5. All put together by a serious team of subject matter experts with international recognition.

Make a tactical change
Christian Benteke's welcome return to action failed to prevent Villa from a second home defeat at the hands of Tottenham in less than a month.
The Londoners followed up their Capital One Cup victory at Villa Park by claiming three Barclays Premier League points at the expense of Paul Lambert's side.
England's new hero Andros Townsend opened the scoring in the 31st minute, and Villa generally found the going tough until Benteke's introduction just past the hour mark as a sub for Libor Kozak.
Suddenly there was hope of an equaliser, Benteke heading only just over a few minutes after going on.
But a second goal from Spanish striker Roberto Soldado in the 69th minute killed off Villa's hopes.
A heavy downpour before kick-off left the playing surface greasy, with both sides struggling to settle into any sort of pattern during the opening exchanges.
Leandro Bacuna's early cross briefly had the visitors in trouble, Gabby Agbonlahor firing over with a shot on the turn, although it was the 17th minute before we witnessed the first shot on target, Brad Guzan doing well to stop Sandro's skidding low drive from 20 yards.
Guzan's opposite number Hugo Lloris did equally well when he did well to push away Ashley Westwood's wickedly curling 21st minute free-kick after everyone else in a crowded goalmouth had been unable to make contact.
A similar free-kick from Lewis Holtby at the end sneaked just past the far post before Villa responded with an angled Andi Weimann volley which flashed wide.
After just over half an hour of stalemate, though, Tottenham were in front.
Villa defenders appeared to have contained the danger when the visitors were forced to play the ball out to Townsend on the right.
Even when the England international curled a left-foot shot towards goalwards, there appeared to be no real threat.
But the ball evaded everyone and sneaked inside the far post as Guzan dived in vain.
Townsend then had a shot blocked by Nathan Baker and Gylfi Sigurdsson sent a header just wide before Bacuna sent a 20-yard free-kick just over for Villa.
Three minutes before the break, the home side were close to an equaliser following the best move so far.
Fabian Delph's astute pass set up Antonio Luna for a left-wing cross which flew across the goalmouth before Westwood played it back inside from the other flank for Weimann to fire narrowly wide of the left-hand post.
If Villa deserved better with that one, though, they were grateful to Guzan as he dived to his right to tip away a low Townsend drive for a corner.
The keeper made another excellent save just after half-time, this time tipping away Paulinho's well-struck right-footer, while Ron Vlaar did well to clear from in front of goal after Townsend's forceful run and menacing low cross.
With the home side struggling to make much impression, Benteke was sent on as a 61st-minute sub for Kozak - and within three minutes the Belgian was close to an equaliser.
Weimann played the ball wide to Bacuna, and Benteke met the right-back fine centre with a header which was only just too high.
Then he was just unable to make a decent contact after Agbonlahor's burst of speed and inviting cross.
But just when Lambert's men seemed to be on the brink of an equaliser, they were stunned by a second Spurs goal on 69 minutes.
The visitors worked the ball in from the left and Soldado moved on to Paulinho's precise pass to lift his shot over Guzan from 12 yards.
Townsend then sent an angled drive only inches over but Villa kept plugging away and in the final 10 minutes sub Aleksandar Tonev fired across the face of goal before seeing a low shot held by Lloris.
Weimann was also close in stoppage time with a shot that was blocked - and was then denied a penalty when he was impeded by Vlad Chiriches in the area.
Villa: Guzan; Bacuna, Vlaar, Baker, Luna; El Ahmadi (Sylla 72), Westwood, Delph; Weimann, Kozak (Benteke 61), Agbonlahor (Tonev 79). Unused subs: Steer, Helenius, Bowery, Lowton.
Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Chririches, Vertonghen; Sandro; Townsend, Paulinho, Holtby (Dembele 60), Sigurdsson (Lennon 60); Soldado (Defoe 87). Unused subs: Friedel, Lamela, Naughton, Erikson.

Automatic grading and packing of prawns
Kassler, M., Corke, P. I., & Wong, P. C. (1993) Automatic grading and packing of prawns. Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 9(4).
Prawns are a substantial Australian resource but presently are processed in a very labour-intensive manner. A prototype system has been developed for automatically grading and packing prawns into single-layer 'consumer packs' in which each prawn is approximately straight and has the same orientation. The novel technology includes a machine vision system that has been specially programmed to calculate relevant parameters at high speed and a gripper mechanism that can acquire, straighten and place prawns of various sizes. The system can be implemented on board a trawler or in an onshore processing facility. © 1993.

Dressilyme - Dress(es)

I love it they did an awesome job on your gown! I would leave it the way it is! Congrats
They've added the beadings, and now it is even lovelier!! :) I'm so in love with my gown now. :)
It looks absolutly stunning! It came out beautiful!!
waw, it is beautiful! How much is it? What is the reference number for this dress?

It's beautiful! :)
mandy my dress was STYLE NO.WWD003E2. Its replicating the Maggie Sottero Belinda. cost USD170.70 (with custom sizing USD185.69), plus another $12 extra to have the train lengthened. . Shipping was 50 bucks (arggh shipping is so expensive!)
If you need pictures of the original dress just pm me, I looked high and low to find high resolution ones to send to dressilyme's dressmakers- its no longer on the Maggie Sottero website as they've stopped making it.
have you received your dress yet? i'd love to see it since i'm considering the nora, which is similar.
Hi paperflower! I got my dress but I haven't posted up pictures of myself in it (since I have no one else at home but fiance to help me in it)- and he doesnt want to see it before wedding. It is gorgeous though! The quality is fabulous! :)
Let me know if you need more info.
Sorry - just a couple more questions lol. Did you try on the original at a store? How does this compare? What I love about the Maggie dresses is how well they hold everything in and just suck you thin and fit perfectly.. Does this do that?
I cannot wait to order but I'm still torn between a couple different Maggie dresses. I have appointments tomorrow to try them on again and will hopefully decide then!
I'm looking at the Nora as one of them, which is nearly identical to this style.
If you ever get some help you should definitely post a picture! I'm so glad it turned out great for you! Very reassuring! :)
Beautiful!! They are super good at what they do and they actually listen and do what you want! I was completely happy with mine! I'm glad you like it!!
hi paper flower, I tried a couple of maggie dresses, but not the Belinda I ordered, so can't compare. I tried the sidney, which is a completely different style but I actually hated how i looked in it- probably because the sample was 3 sizes up.
It is very sturdy though, there's at least 6 bones in mine, so I think it could "suck you in thin" if needed.
My sis (and her babies!) helped me into the dress, it is very very nice! :)
need to put on modesty panel here, it was easier to put it on without than with.
Thank you lpruett!
I'm considering wearing a champagne sash ....to define the waist better..:)
If the dressilyme route is part of your plan, I hope my experience helps you!

Ritchey WCS 4-Axis Stem
The Ritchey WCS 4-Axis stem represents the benchmark for quality and performance. Ritchey stems have always been on the cutting edge of advanced, common sense-based design and the most carbon-steerer friendly right from the beginning. They are great looking, a joy to work with and are supremely reliable to boot.
Highlights include an angled steerer tube slot which offers a more secure and uniform, pinch-free clamp pressure to the steerer tube - perfect for carbon steerers. 3D net forging of 2014 alloy makes for the strongest stem and this process has been copied by most other stem manufactures. The stress managing forged, contoured and polished face plate mates perfectly to all bars while dispersing linear clamp stresses. All of these features give the Ritchey WCS 4-Axis stems a strength to weight ratio second to none. One of our most popular and recommended stems.
This new version is updated with smaller logos and stem length is now printed discreetly on the top so you can put away the tape measure usually required to verify size. This stem comes in 84(-/+6) degrees or 73 (-/+17) degrees. Most riders choose the 84 which rises slightly to parallel but select the 73 if you ride in an athletic position with the handlebar a lot lower than the saddle (lots of drop).
- 31.8mm
- Weight 115 grams (10cm)
- 42mm stack height
- 3-D Net forged
- 2014 alloy construction
- Specially designed forged and contoured 4-bolt faceplate
- Angled/bias cut steerer clamp helps prevent damage to steerer tubes
- Stainless steel taper head bolts

great stem, stiff. I have had Ritchey stems for years and this is by far the best I have used. Buy the torque wrench that goes with the stem. Makes set up and adjustment a breeze

It was clear that along with the new branding, the name should reflect who and what the organization truly is, according to Allison Sertic, marketing and communications manager.
"Davis Arts Center, since its inception in 1960, has always been a place for multi-disciplinary arts education," Sertic stated. "Visual arts and dance have long been associated with the Arts Center, but music, literary, performance and theater arts are also offered at Davis Arts Center. In addition to the standard five arts disciplines, the Arts Center offers classes in martial arts, yoga and Zumba, computer arts programming and video arts.
The circular logo that was created to pair with the new name is an abstract representation of all the multiples that weave the fabric of the Arts Center, Sertic reported.
"Along with classes and programs in all of the arts, the Arts Center community is multi-generational and multi-cultural," she stated. "There are multiple ways in which to experience the Arts Center -- through learning in a classroom, attending a concert or performance, participating in an interactive program, and viewing varied gallery exhibitions throughout the year. Davis Arts Center also collaborates with multiple organizations and partners on community programs throughout the area."
A new website, davisartscenter.org, not only implements the branding, but incorporates a new class registration component. Davis Arts Center offers hundreds of classes throughout the year taught by over 70 professional teaching artists, so the organization invested in sophisticated software to provide seamless integration with the website.
"We are thrilled to be unveiling both a new logo and a new website. By adding an 's' to our name to become Davis Arts Center, and by adopting a dynamic new design, we are representing the creativity and energy of the huge array of opportunities we provide for self-expression through arts." said Roberta Savage, board president. "This also represented the perfect time to create a whole new website as a showcase for our rich offering of classes and events and as an easy and accessible way to register."
An "arts love" themed Launch Party event to celebrate the new branding will takes place on Saturday, April 5, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Current participants, members and friends, as well as people interested in learning about the Arts Center, are invited to attend the free open-house event. Performances, interactive arts activities and free classes will give a glimpse of experiences that happen all year at the Arts Center.
Every attendee will receive a free piece of Davis Arts Center merchandise, which may include T-shirts, tote bags, coffee mugs, insulated lunch bags and smaller items. Larger prizes, such as free class sessions and gift certificates, will also be given.
Davis Arts Center, located at 1919 F St., is a gathering place for dynamic engagement with the arts. Through multidisciplinary classes and programs for the regional community, the Arts Center inspires creative expression in people of all ages and fosters an environment for the arts to flourish.

Customer Reviews
Worse than worthles
I subscribed to a full year of The New Yorker through the Apple App Store (first mistake). After a few issues of trying to read articles on the iPad app as they hiccuped and jumped around every few seconds due to flashing adverts (I can only surmise that is the cause), I gave up and contacted The New Yorker for a refund. They referred me back to the Apple App Store who, in turn, denied me any refund. I can now only wait out the wasted year's subscription hoping The New Yorker will improve the app before my year runs out. So I check into the app from time to time to see if there's any improvement. To further consternation, I've had trouble logging into the NY app numerous times and must contact their customer support each time to get back in. My assessment - Apple doesn't care; no incentive to. The New Yorker needs to get back to the idea that its readers want to read its top-notch writing, have an attention span beyond five seconds, and do not want to be constantly distracted with the whistle-calls of flashing ads.
Good content, bad app
I like the New Yorker's content, and bought a digital subscription because you can't test drive the app without one (at least, it didn't provide me with any sample content to try it out with).
There are so many things wrong with this app: It generally feels like an app that was written 5 years ago and never updated, and it looks like they were far more focused on replicating the look of the print magazine than making the app usable. Navigation relies on a pop-up slider along the bottom of the screen. It says that the subscription will give you access to "the archive", but you can't actually read old magazines throught he app-- you have to purchase previous editions at $9 each. You still get ads, even though you're paying for the subscription-- and ok, fair enough, that's the case with the print magazine too, but it means you're better off reading through a web browser with an ad-blocker.
Even as a fan of the magazine, I don't recommend this app.
crahed while reading and returns to main menu
I love the New Yorker and the writing of course cannot be beat. But the technology and the user experience has a long way to go. It often crashes while you're reading – – this is especially frustrating when it's a very long article – – and returns you to the main menu. I think you should be able to search for older articles from anywhere. Additionally I just don't find the interface optimized for user experience. It is too issue-centered; why not have a much broader way to read say all political stories or all cartoons for all time? I'd also like to see a way to bookmark a long article so you can come back to where you were after closing the app or after turning off the phone. I just think this needs more work, particularly for the cost.

Responses to the Eurozone crisis are having an impact on welfare reform across Europe. Aidan Regan argues that the current focus on austerity has reduced the ability of states to pursue egalitarian policies and reflects a general movement toward neoliberalism at the European level.

I was standing in Nordstrom buying a new jacket when my lawyer called to tell me that the California attorney general (Bill Lockyer) was filing four felony charges against me. It was Oct. 4, 2006, the day I was being interviewed by 60 Minutes.
Leslie Stahl later told me that when she heard charges had been filed, she assumed I would cancel the interview. Lawyers are loath to have their clients make any public statement when they're facing charges, but we decided, risk or no risk, I would go ahead and tell my story. I wanted to overturn all of the inaccuracies that were out there with respect to my role at HP (HPQ)—that I was the boss when I wasn't even an employee, that I had somehow overseen this controversial investigation, and that I had done anything wrong.
I was facing four felonies and 12 years in jail. A few months later, I was offered a chance to plead guilty to a misdemeanor, which meant no jail time, but I felt so sure of the facts. I didn't pay much attention to what the other people charged were going to do. I had one goal in mind: to clear my name.
I was fully prepared to go to trial, and accepting a misdemeanor would have undermined my whole purpose. I assumed it would be a long fight. I was battling cancer, and I needed to feel like I would be alive to see my way to the end. I couldn't take the offer of a guilty plea. I knew I had to fight.
I was pleased with what the judge wrote about why the charges were dismissed in 2007. The key reason was that it was in the interest of justice. The prosecutors said it was because of health reasons, but they didn't have a case. I'm not sure how being treated for advanced ovarian cancer affected my decisions, but I guess it made me more conscious of what really mattered.
Some of this experience was negative and unhappy, but it didn't ruin my life. I've expanded my work in the nonprofit community. You can move beyond something like this. I don't see it as having defined me.

The Journey to Rediscovering BI | John O'Brien | 29 April
Today's data warehousing and business intelligence (BI) landscape is reinventing itself faster and with more innovation than ever before, challenging every aspect of BI programs to adapt and keep up. Companies are adopting emerging technologies -- like big data, advanced analytics, and visualization -- to deliver even more business value through mobile BI, self-service, and discovery. These new information business models are challenging BI programs to abandon old paradigms and to rediscover a new definition of BI.
Where Did We Come From, Where Are We Going? | Dr. Robin Bloor | 30 April
This presentation reviews the evolution of business intelligence (BI) roughly up to its current level of capability, then speculates as to how it may evolve going forward. There are several aspects to this: The progress of hardware technology and its impact on software. The progress of BI itself - an escalation in capabilities, and complexities. The move towards an event-driven world. The gradual lowering of latencies. The behavior of the software market itself. The impact on architectures.

IndyCar Looks For Rebound At GP Of Houston
Grand Prix of Houston promoter Mike Lanigan has spent almost $1 million to improve the temporary street course at Reliant Park after a rough IndyCar return last year.
Lanigan said Friday that $700,000 was spent on safety improvements alone. The fence that Dario Franchitti hit when his car went airborne has been fortified and the grandstands were removed.
Another $300,000 was spent on work to the pavement. Last year, a bump in the track altered the championship race.
IndyCar will run a doubleheader this weekend, with races on Saturday and Sunday. Lanigan hopes the only issue will be the heat, with drivers facing temperatures in the low 90s.

I like Cosmos Purple Metallic better than Majestic Plum Metallic IMHO. Its a little darker so it doesnt scream barney and looks black at night.
How about a nice green?
Why are car companies afraid to offer the color green?
Oh, and did you guys forget the Hot Lava CTS color?
2016 Cadillac CTS4 2.0T Performance
2006 GMC Envoy SLT 4x4
Hot Lava was the same as Daytona Orange on the Corvette IIRC.
On a side note: When is Cadillac going to add a power trunk to their passenger cars? People coming from other brands over to Cadillac want to see the features they are used to and more to get them to switch.
Meh, base model is base model.
The interior color choice is small for the regular Vsport which sucks. But its whatever, going from $60k to $70k isnt too big of a deal if Im getting my beautiful Kona brown leather.

Honestly, the base model doesn't look bad at all. Since the turn signals are integrated in the LED light signatures, it still has them, just without the LED light pipes.
It doesn't look bad at all. Certainly more substantial than a base E, 5, or A6.
2016 Cadillac CTS4 2.0T Performance
2006 GMC Envoy SLT 4x4
So, are we to understand that their will be no V-8 CTS. I was told today by a Cadillac sales person that the CTS-V would be gone after 2014, and would not be available in the 2015 CTS. In other words,...no CTS-V
I am hoping that is not the case.
With no V-8 available in the ATS, or XTS, this would be a disaster...that would leave only the Escalade, and LTS.

There will be a CTS-V...
2016 Cadillac CTS4 2.0T Performance
2006 GMC Envoy SLT 4x4
Opulent Blue does nothing for me. It's not luxurious and it's not sporty. It's loud and annoying. Sapphire Blue is obviously a deeper, richer blue that's for the luxury shopper. Just a gloss Rebel Blue is more youthful and sporting than Opulent Blue. It's literally just a metallic royal blue. It's boring, yet loud and obnoxious at the same time.
Cadillac needs a color like Audi's Estoril Blue. Estoril Blue is supposedly their color that they're trying to establish as their "performance color," as in when you see it you know it's an S or R.
Only it should look nothing like Estoril Blue, because it too is hopelessly boring.
Cadillac needs to offer high-dollar matte packages like BMW's Frozen colors. Do a special package, at least one per model year at first, and offer it on every car in the lineup in a less restricted manner than the most recent editions they did.
Make it at least a $5k option and make it a knockout color combo.
Navy blue and cashmere on the LTS should definitely be offered. I think that definitely would be a nice. Something to this effect.
Hey, you gotta watch that man...He'll go coastal on ya
Opulent Blue is basically Crayola Blue lol
Ill still probably end up with Phantom Gray lol.

but didN'T like it;
AGREE about a Sapphire!!;
not sure I know Estoril Blue;
& don't know Rebel Blue but
Volvo used to(?) have an interesting medium blue called Berents Blue, a stronger than usual steel-blue that was Great in direct sun and changed a Lot (so I was told) in different lighting. Rich looking, definitely not boring

Combo KungFu for iPad - A Fast-Paced Ninja-Themed Block-Smashing Game of Speed, Accuracy and Memory
Flipmode Games today announce the release of their first game, Combo KungFu, for the iPAD 2+. Combo KungFu is a martial arts themed game where players tap and swipe the screen to complete Combo sequences, testing their speed, accuracy and memory.
Combo KungFu is structured as a series of training levels leading up to each successive Belt – 6 Belts in all, plus the Tournament – 35 levels in total. The length and complexity of the combos increases throughout the game, to the point where the tournament levels will be a challenge to even the most dedicated gamers.
Jake Major, founder of Flipmode Games, has always dreamt of making a game, having been a committed gameplayer all his life. "I set out to make the kind of game I love playing – fast, challenging and even a bit stressful, with plenty of rewards in terms of mega high scores, time bonuses, bonus points, achievements, and stars." The game has several stat bars which track speed, accuracy and combo count for each level, so you can analyse your results and work on your weaknesses to increase your score or achieve a 'perfect'.
"Every time I played the game I asked, how can we make this more exciting, more intense?" says Jake. "Everything is designed to build the pressure and tension of the gameplay, so the sounds build steadily as you progress through each level, there's a sense of scores building up and bonuses being won, and when you complete a level you're buzzing," he explains.
It's been 14 months in development, and the result is a highly polished game based on an original idea. Lead developer, Boris Bagdhikian, programmed the game in Unity3D, and is already working on the first update. "We intend to keep building on the game, developing new game modes and features. It's a gamer's game and will suit people with a competitive nature and an addictive personality,"
Combo KungFu is now available for iPad 2 onwards as both a Free and a Paid version. The free game includes the first two belts (9 levels), with the full game costing £1.99 in the UK and $2.99 in the US. Combo KungFu is available to download now worldwide from Apple's App Store, or via the website: http://www.combokungfu.com.
Flipmode Games is a new games development company based in Wales, UK, and Combo KungFu is their first game.

[These first-impression comments were published when on the opening weekend of the film in 2000.]•Some actors have the gift of disappearing into a character, so that each role becomes a new revelation. But Hollywood seems to pride itself on developing a different kind of actor, the star that usually play the same role, with a different name and a different hat each time. These actors usually spend their years trying to find the character best suited to their personality.Samuel J … [Read more...]

This sounds like a book worth reading
"Were just 6 months into Obamas administration, and already the hope and change has died. Obamas administration is full of tax cheats, lobbyists, campaign finance lawbreakers, and those with corporate and union ties. In Culture of Corruption Michelle Malkin exposes them and how they have been influencing decisions.
More than anything, Obama is a child of ACORN and the unions. Obama speaking at an SEIU rally said, Ive spent my whole adult life working with SEIU, which is quite true, because he has spent his whole adult life as a community organizer working with ACORNfighting alongside ACORN on issues [they] care about [his] entire career,of which SEIU is affiliated.
SEIU and ACORN went all in this year to get Obama elected. ACORN helped fundraise for Obama, according to Malkin and Anita MonCrief. Malkin says that MonCrief provided her with the list of donors Obama gave to ACORN. She gave me the list that she says came from Hillary Clinton.
SEIU had people talking with Blago about Obama appointments.
Obama has rewarded SEIU and ACORN with union-supporter Hilda Solis as labor secretary and provisions in stimulus bills for union employment and buy-American provisions.
Thats just two chapters of the book. There are more chapters on Obama nominees, his bitter half wife, Average Joe from MBNA, the cabinet, the czars, the rich libs, and the Clintons.
The czars are perhaps the most corrupt members of his administration, not having to be approved.
Its just six month in and we already have reason to believe that this is one of the most corrupt administrations in recent memory. Culture of Corruption is out now. Buy it at Amazon."

Have you looked at the "comments" following a "liberal" opinion interview on TV? Or on the web, or in print, or on the radio?
There are whackos on both sides that will hate the talking heads/authors/actors/singers/politicians/etc on both sides.
And the author? Yea, I'd hit it

I think what I look forward to is hopefully some folks opening their eyes on the 'change'. Also what would be nice is for someone to question the instant pay increase Mrs. Obama had when the President took his Senate seat.

If you dont have wealth:
Conservative you are low class.
Liberal you are disadvantaged.
If you went to college:
Conservative your academic pedigree is scrutinized.
Liberal .your degree speaks for itself.
If you didnt go to college:
Conservative you are un-educated.
Liberal you are an artist/activist.
If you own a business:
Conservative you are a profiteer.
Liberal you provide jobs to the community.
If you are working class:

If you believe in the wisdom of the constitution:
Conservative you are narrow minded.

News: Free screening offered for oral, head and neck cancer
MCHENRY – Centegra Health System will offer a free screening for oral, head and neck cancer from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 7 at the Centegra Sage Cancer Center, 4305 Medical Center Drive in McHenry.Registration is required. Register by calling (877) CENTEGRA.During the screenings, Dr. Ted Hughes, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, will provide a thorough exam of the mouth, oral cavity, head, neck and facial area to detect any precancerous lesions or problems. Although this screening does not take the place of an annual exam by a personal physician, it is a valuable tool for recognizing conditions that could become serious.Oral, head and neck cancers are located in the nasal cavity, sinuses, lips, mouth, thyroid glands, salivary glands, throat or voice box and account for about six percent of all malignancies in the United States. Tobacco use is linked to 85 percent of oral, head and neck cancers."Many of these cancers form in the areas where tobacco or alcohol has the most contact," said Hughes. "Those include areas where the cigarette sits on the lip or where the chewing tobacco is placed in the mouth." Although cigarette smoking increases a person's risk of head and neck cancer by 15 times compared to a non-smoker, other factors can contribute to these cancers. One of these, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, contributes to cancers of the lips, and today, about 10,000 new cases of oral, head and neck cancer can be attributed to a particular strain of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The incidence of thyroid cancer has also increased in all races and in both males and females in the past two decades.Signs of oral, head and neck cancer are a sore in a mouth that doesn't heal, constant pain in a mouth, lumps or patches in a mouth, pain around teeth, change in voice or a lump in a neck. Most oral cancers form on the lips, tongue or floor of the mouth. They may also happen inside the cheeks, on the gums or on the roof of the mouth.Hughes said there are steps a person can take to lower the chances of developing oral, head and neck cancer."It is important to maintain a healthy diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and to receive regular screenings for these cancers," Hughes said. "As always, we tell people to stop smoking and to moderate their use of alcohol. These healthy steps could save your life." Centegra Hospital – McHenry is recognized as having one of a few cancer programs in the state to receive the Commission on Cancer (CoC) Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. Additionally, all the Centegra Sage Cancer Center nurses are oncology certified. Patients needing additional follow-up may be referred to Centegra's conveniently located medical imaging departments for various state-of-the-art, diagnostic breast exams including ultrasounds, breast MRIs and PET/CTs.Centegra Health System is committed to meeting the healthcare needs of the residents of greater McHenry County and to making services available in multiple and convenient locations, including hospitals in McHenry and Woodstock, Immediate and Primary Care Centers, Centegra Sage Cancer Center, Health Bridge Fitness Centers and more. As the region's leading healthcare provider, Centegra Health System continues to bring the latest treatments and technology, along with the skills of nearly 4,000 medical professionals, to meet the needs of the growing McHenry County community.

Tennessee Coach Buzz Peterson
"We just ran out of gas. I should have put the starters on the bench early to give them some rest. I thought we sucked it up. Putting guys in situations they haven't been in a while and I felt like I could control the game offensively. They took some quick shots and we just ran out of gas."
(on being up three points with around 13:00 left in the game) "I thought we were right there. When we were up three, I thought we were in good shape but I should have subbed much earlier in the second half and got some guys in there to save the starters towards the end. What happened during their run, you go back to the time outs that we called early in the first half with their press and that hurt in second half since we did not have many left to call. Then I could not control the game during their run."
(on the loss of Brandon Crump) "It is really frustrating. The timing isn't good since we are in conference play and the time of the year. He will be reevaluated tomorrow once the swelling goes down. I am going on the assumption he's out (for the short term) . We'll see what we can do without him. We will have to identify some different roles for some of the other players. Brandon was playing well as of late.
Louisville Coach Rick Pitino
"Our defense in the first half was not what we were used to. We wanted to come out it the second half and play the defense we played all year. We were rebounding well but we were just not patient in getting some good looks. BJ (Brandon Jenkins) Francisco (Garcia) played great in the second half and Ellis (Myles) did a terrific job."
(on Ellis Myles) "He did a great job. A day before, he wasn't going to practice. We were actually just hoping to get him back for the Marquette game. But he said It felt a lot better yesterday. He did the cardio stuff early and then he practiced the whole practice. I wanted him to get over the fear over playing with the injury."
(on Otis George) "It helps out rotations to have Otis come in. He's still not in shape; he gets winded easily. Anybody who gets beat (on defense), Otis is in their lap. He forces everyone to rotate properly. He is always reading and always helping. He makes us better. Tello (Palacios) is not a great defensive player and in high school he played no defense. To go from zero to 60-70 percent (defensively) is pretty good."
(on the team) "We are playing better basketball. We are doing little things better. We are pressing better and more intelligently. You are not just running at the guy. In the first half, they were hurting us with the pick and roll and shooting within 10 feet."
(on the recent four-game series with Tennessee) "We've had three great games and two of the three they outplayed us but we had a big run at the end. We beat them three times by seven points. They are better basketball team than they showed today as they played without (Brandon) Crump. He is a big low post presence for them."

Bearcats Suffer First Defeat Of Season At New Mexico
Dec. 7, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team fell in its first road game of the season, 63-54, at New Mexico on Saturday, Dec. 7. The loss marked the first of the season for the Bearcats, who now stand at 7-1, while the Lobos improved to 7-1.
Sean Kilpatrick (Yonkers, N.Y./Notre Dame Prep) led a UC team that struggled to find its shooting touch. The senior scored 19 points, 17 in the second half, while Troy Caupain (Midlothian, Va./Cosby) added 11 points and Justin Jackson (Cocoa Beach, Fla./Arlington Country Day) scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds. With his 19 points, Kilpatrick now has 1,601 for his career, moving him into ninth all-time and making him just the ninth player in program history to eclipse 1,600 points.
For the game, UC shot just 29.5-percent (18-61) from the field, its lowest output of the season. Defense did keep the Bearcats in the game, as they forced 15 Lobo turnovers while committing just eight themselves. Cincinnati scored 19 points off those New Mexico miscues.
New Mexico was led by a double-double effort from Cameron Baristow, who scored 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Alex Kirk posted 15 points and pulled down six rebounds for UNM, while Kendall Williams added 10 points and five boards. The Lobos shot 50-percent (22-44) from the floor, while outscoring UC in the paint, 34-24.
While getting off to a slow start offensively, the Bearcats used an 8-0 run to close the first half and trail, 27-20, at the break. UC shot just 26.7-percent in the half, but only turned it over four times while forcing the Lobos to turn it over 10 times in the frame to stay in it. Caupain was the leading scorer for UC in the half, scoring seven points. Caupain started the 8-0 run by drilling a three-pointer before a Titus Rubles (Dallas, Texas/Blinn College) layup and a three from Jermaine Sanders (Far Rockaway, N.Y./Rice HS) cut it to seven at the break.
The Bearcats kept the momentum up in the second half, closing the game to two, 35-33, over the first five minutes thanks to Kilpatrick scoring seven points during that stretch. Unfortunately, it would be the closest UC would get, as the Lobos responded with a 6-0 run that included back-to-back scores by Kirk, pushing the lead back to eight, 41-33, with 12:57 to play in the game. New Mexico kept UC off the scoreboard for four minutes before a Caupain layup halted the run and was followed by a three from Kevin Johnson (Cincinnati, Ohio/Summit Country Day) to put the Bearcats back within five, 43-38, with just over 10 minutes left.
Foul trouble was an issue for UC, as Jackson had to leave the game with four fouls with 10:02 remaining. New Mexico responded by pushing the lead to nine, 47-38, with 9:09 to play. Kilpatrick halted the UNM run with a layup and the UC press started to get to the Lobos. Jackson checked back in with 6:19 to play and UC trailing, 51-44, but the Lobos kept the momentum. New Mexico then went on a 7-0 run to take a 56-44 lead with 4:41 to play.
A Rubles layup closed it to 57-50 with 3:28 to play, but the Lobos then killed the clock, getting a big offensive rebound from Bairstow and taking another 20 seconds off before he hit a jumper to push it back to nine, 59-50. After Johnson missed a layup for UC, Bairstow continue to help ice the game for New Mexico by getting the rebound and scoring at the other end to make it 61-50 with just 93 seconds left to play. Despite late free throws from Kilpatrick, the Lobos would hold on for the 63-54 victory.
Next up for Cincinnati is the annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Classic versus Xavier on Saturday, Dec. 14. Click here for ticket information. Tipoff at U.S. Bank Arena in downtown Cincinnati is set for 8:00 p.m. and the game can be seen on FOX Sports 1.

Oil & Gas Investment Fraud
Oct 13, 2008 No Comments by Leah Szarek -->
State securities regulators around the country warn that oil and gas investment scams are alive and well. High oil prices have created a heightened interest in investments in energy-related business ventures.
Most oil and gas investment opportunities, while involving varying degrees of risks to the investor, are legitimate in their marketing and responsible in their operations. However, as in many other investment opportunities, it is not unusual for unscrupulous promoters to attempt to take advantage of investors by engaging in fraudulent practices. [continued below]....
Although some of the con artists moved on to more lucrative venues since the oil boom ended in the mid-1980s, many continued to linger on in the oil field. Now with the constant fluctuation of oil prices, some of these people have made their way back to these kinds of scams. When there is a highly publicized economic circumstance, which creates an opportunity for money to be made legitimately, scamsters follow in the shadows to take advantage of the situation.
Oil and gas investments take many forms, including limited partnership interests, ownership of fractional undivided interests in leases, and general partnerships. Tax consequences and investor liability vary according to the type of program. True general partnerships in which investors actively participate in the operations of the venture are not securities. A general partner, however, is personally liable for partnership debts.
In a drilling limited partnership, an oil or gas company sells partnership units to investors and uses the money it raises to lease property and drill wells. In return for managing the project, the sponsor company usually takes an upfront fee that averages about 15-16% of one's investment (commonly referred to as tangible and intangible drilling costs) and also shares in a percentage of any revenue generated. In return, the promoter offers the investor the prospect of a substantial first year tax write-off and quarterly cash distributions from the sale of any oil and gas the partnership finds until the wells run dry.
Drilling partnerships have always been a gamble, but recently, they have proven somewhat riskier than usual. This type of investment is very speculative, is a highly illiquid investment and can have a long holding period.
Fraudulent oil and gas deals are frequently structured with the limited partnership (or other legal entity) in one state, the operation and physical presence of the field in a second state, and the offerings made to prospective investors in states other than the initial two states. Thus there is less chance of an investor dropping by a well site or a nonexistent company headquarters. Such a structure also makes it difficult for law enforcement officials and victims to identify and expose the fraud.
In order to attract the interest of potential investors, unprincipled promoters frequently use the Internet and "boiler room" offices with banks of phones manned by salespeople with little or no background in energy exploration, but plenty of experience in high-pressure sales. Their techniques include repeated unsolicited phone calls to members of the public, hyping the profitability of the deal. Some swindlers use professionally designed brochures. Beware of unsolicited oil and gas promotions on the internet and through e-mail.

By FITSNews || South Carolina's unemployment rate remained stuck at 12.6 percent in January – a record-high – although the figure technically represents only a slight increase from December's rate, which was was revised downward to 12.4 percent.
Obviously, South Carolina is benefiting from the same unemployment "adjustments" that masked a jump in the nation's unemployment (and under-employment) rate last month.
The Palmetto State's unemployment rate remains the fourth-highest in America.
According to data released by the embattled S.C. Employment Security Commission, the state's economy shed another 4,600 jobs in January (pushing the total number of statewide, recession-era job losses to 114,500). That means a record 273,455 South Carolinians are out of work – and that's before you start counting the state's "under-employed."
For the first time since the recession began, government jobs saw a sharp decline in January – down by 4,500. Of course, the total number of government jobs (354,300) is still up – by 5,100 positions – from January 2009.
Unemployment data for February will be released in two weeks.
