Afterward, I got out and we got Meatball so he could go out with Bob. He had NEVER been in a kayak before so Bob threw a bunch of treats into the front and we got him to jump in. While he was munching his treats Bob shoved off and went a short distance around the shore line. He stayed in for ...

Two protesters beaten by unidentified police officers during a protest in London against Israeli actions in Gaza have been awarded £25,000 in compensation from the Metropolitan Police.
The demonstrations were held near the Israeli embassy in January last year. It is the first payout by the Met over the policing of the protests.
In a letter to twin brothers Ashley and Russell Inglis the police apologised: "Whilst it has not been possible to identify who struck you and caused your injuries, the investigation into the events established there was no reason to suspect that you were acting in a violent way, and therefore you should not have been struck with a baton."
No officer has been punished amid claims that many had covered up their identity numbers.
The two brothers, who are both Oxford University graduates, have been highly critical of the investigation. They claim officers from the Met's department of professional standards (DPS) failed to gather all the CCTV footage available that night, preventing them from identifying the policemen involved.
Ashley Inglis described how an officer three feet away made eye contact with him and then smashed him over the head with a baton.
Russell then remonstrated with another officer and was also struck with a baton on the side of his face. They say their efforts to note down police identity numbers were hampered by more police attacks.

The GRA Difference Among Top Prep Schools
With the right help, every young man can transform into a college-ready and life-prepared person.
Grand River Academy has a rich history of helping each young man make a transformation into a college-ready and life-prepared person.
Please read our published white paper on The Essential Characteristics of a Boy Friendly Learning Environment
Grand River Academy embraces a 360-degree philosophy. This philosophy encourages each young man to be himself and activate his true potential. Students graduate from GRA with the knowledge and ability to lead a successful life. With a devoted faculty and nurturing community, our boys grow academically, socially and emotionally. This 360-degree approach leads to a high percentage of the student body making the honor roll and discovering great success in the classroom.
Grand River Academy embraces a 360-degree philosophy. This philosophy encourages each young man to be himself and activate his true potential. Students graduate from GRA with the knowledge and ability necessary to lead a successful life.
We have 101 boys for 101 different reasons. Some boys may have been academically underachieving in their previous school environment. Others want a caring and structured environment that is conducive for success. Some boys may have learning differences that their old school could not address. Whatever the reason, our boys find that Grand River Academy is a place they can be themselves, reinvent themselves, rediscover their passions, and get back on the college prep track.
Our boarding school atmosphere is a special place for growth. To give our boys an experience set apart from other top college prep boarding schools, the experience outside the classroom is just as valuable as the classroom experience. Our Residential Life Program focuses on community building, forging friendships and teaching our young men how to navigate adolescence. Because of this focus, our students learn how to be independent and responsible 21st-century citizens.
As a small boarding school, our students do not fall through the cracks. Our class sizes are small. Our teachers and administrators have the pulse of how each student is doing. Faculty members are available after the class day ends for special help and study sessions. The on-campus support, individualized and adaptable program and investment in each boy's success leads to a positive academic, social and emotional transformation.
Our program is designed to give your son every opportunity to find success. I invite you to explore the contents of our website. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how a Grand River Academy education will help your son find success, please contact Peter Wickman in the Admission Office or me by clicking the Request More Information button at the top of this page.

Aw lovey fic here
| Daughter of Romanov chapter 1 . 7/22/2011
I love it, love it, love it!
I didn't like how Disney 'expanded' on their characters in the movies because they barely did anything!
I'm glad that at least they have each other- well not Ariel, but the other six at least!
| CleopatraMinusAntony chapter 1 . 9/26/2009
Well you said to tell you if I liked. I did.
| Im-On-A-Roll chapter 1 . 9/22/2009
Wow, you did pretty good here too. Okay so 1st you did a sister/sister story about Aquata and Attina and now one about Andrina (Which just so you is really how it's spelled) and Alana. So next I'm guessing you're gonna do one about Arista and Adella. If you do, I CAN'T WAIT! Arista's my FAVORITE character in the entire Little Mermaid series! Keep up the good work.
| MermaidRaven chapter 1 . 9/16/2009
aww how cute I think it was very good

lov it
| xJadeRainx chapter 1 . 9/15/2009
You know, I always wondered where Ariel's family thought she went off to, during those three days on the surface. Thanks for writing this? Writing a one-shot story seems that much more difficult than writing a multiple chapter story. Good job. Are you still feeling sick?
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?,

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2014
About the owner: We are two families who bought Villa Belitza in 2014 after falling in love with Nosara.
Why the Owner Chose Playa Guiones, Costa Rica:
We have rented a few different houses in the area including Villa Belitza, and loved the atmosphere, the privacy, the sound of the surf in the background, and the ease of getting to the beach through the direct beach path that Belitza offered. We also like that we could have some privacy as a family that the house offered. We could see ourselves raising our kids at the property over the next 20 years.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Very few properties in Nosara offer direct beach access, where you can hear the sound of the surf in the background. The property itself is large, private, with lush grounds and serenity. It is a perfect location!

text: MILWAUKEE, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Telkonet, Inc. (OTC BB: TKOI), developer of the revolutionary EcoSmart energy management platform incorporating patented Recovery Time™ technology, is pleased to announce today that Marriott International, with over 3,700 properties in 74 countries, has selected Telkonet as an Approved Vendor in providing occupancy-based energy management technology throughout all of its hospitality brands worldwide. As well as being designated as an Approved Vendor in the January 2013 editions of all Marriott Full Service Hotel Design Standards, Telkonet's EcoSmart energy management solutions will also be included in the Select Service Brands editions later this year for Courtyard, Fairfield, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites and TownPlace properties. These Design Standards apply to both U.S. and international new-builds and renovations. "Currently, only about one-fifth of Marriott hotels have an energy management system, a situation that we are aggressively seeking to improve with partners such as Telkonet. Our global sustainability goals include further reductions in energy and water consumption of 20 percent by 2020 and we believe that Telkonet is poised to help us meet and exceed these energy reduction initiatives at any Marriott property," said Terry C. Smith, VP of Engineering at Marriott International. "Telkonet has proven to be extremely reliable, innovative and service-oriented while their products are very guest-friendly," added Smith. Gerrit Reinders, Telkonet's Executive VP of Sales and Marketing stated, "We are very pleased with our growing relationship with Marriott International, one of the world's most respected names in hospitality. This selection opens the door to a number of revenue opportunities for Telkonet, and easily provides Marriott properties with the tools required to pursue operational efficiency utilizing EcoSmart technology. The Marriott brand consists of over 640,000 rooms and to empower these property owners with the ability to wirelessly monitor and control heating, cooling and lighting usage on a room-by-room basis is what distinguishes Telkonet's capabilities from other industry participants. Based on previous similar installations, we've proven that real-time energy cost reductions of 30% - 40% are attainable in these environments, a significant harvesting of savings from a building's energy expenses." The Telkonet technology platform also allows building owners to participate in demand response to balance electricity production and consumption right down to the individual EcoSmart intelligent thermostats within each and every room. By shifting or reducing energy demands (load shedding) from those spaces that are unoccupied to those that are, the EcoSmart system maximizes a property's energy efficiency while eliminating unnecessary power consumption.

Hours after Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy was granted bail in the disproportionate case, TDP chief N Chandra Babu Naidu on Monday alleged a "match fixing" between Y S R Congress and Congress.
"The way bail was granted to him and the manner in which the charge sheet against him was diluted only show that there is a clear understanding between Y S R Congress and Congress," he told reporters here.
He claimed the CBI described before the Supreme Court the disproportionate assets case against Jagan as a major case of crime. "This only shows that Congress is trying to influence parties in Andhra Pradesh. On the one hand they are delaying a decision on the future of Andhra Pradesh for the past four years, and on the other they are trying to influence parties," Naidu said.
He also criticised Digvijay Singh for his remarks that Congress was open to TRS merging with it. "Is it justified," he quipped. He accused UPA government for the various scams and said his party will make it a "national issue".
Naidu skirted posers on the possibility of TDP joining NDA. Asked why Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi praised him in Hyderabad, he said Modi praised TDP founder N T Rama Rao. "Everybody praises N T Rama Rao," he said.

After uninstalling Spiceworks, I'm trying to re-install it but get an access denied error on c:\\Program Files\\bin\\Spiceworks\\spiceworks.exe. I went into Windows Explorer and found that It is the only file under the Spiceworksfolder, and when I try to delete the file, I get the same access denied error.
Any ideas?

Justin have you tried uninstalling, deleting the c:\\\\Program Files\\\\bin\\\\Spiceworks folder & just having spicworks reinstall to c:\\Spiceworks instead? You may need to give the service account used for the program full control of that folder just in case it is getting some funky inherited permissions from above.

Dr. Michael Vorenberg's talk on "Voting Rights and the Meaning of Freedom: The View from the Civil War Era", a part of the Lincoln Legacy Lecture Series was broadcasted on WUIS NPR Illinois radio station on February 11, 2016. Each year, around the time of Lincoln's birthday, the Center for State Policy and Leadership at the University of Illinois, Springfield broadcasts the previous fall's lectures on their public radio station. You can find the recap of the lecture here.
In her course "Refugees: A Twentieth-Century History," Professor Vazira Zamindar presented students with the opportunity to confront the global refugee crisis through a small cardboard box and a smartphone. What the students saw was "The Displaced," an eleven-minute virtual reality film created by the New York Times specifically to be viewed through a Google Cardboard apparatus. The Brown Daily Herald covered the experience in a February 16th article, which can be viewed here. In the article, Professor Zamindar was quoted as saying that she "planned the exercise for the course with the hope it would provoke students to think critically about the refugee crisis and how the news media portray displaced people."
How have the conditions we associate with "intimate life," matters of sex, sexuality, marriage, and more, been subject to state power in the twentieth-century United States? This three-part lectures series features historians whose research addresses such questions in the context of a post-slavery nation in which race also structured state rules governing intimate life.

In 1618 the German physician Michael Maier published an extraordinary multimedia emblem book, Atalanta fugiens, or "Atalanta fleeing." The book offers its readers an alchemical interpretation of the Classical myth of Atalanta as a series of fifty emblems, each containing a motto, a copper plate engraving by the renowned Matthäus Merian, an epigram (in German and Latin), an accompanying fugue (or canon) for three voices, and a discourse explicating the emblem's alchemical meaning. The parts of each emblem and the 214-page quarto book as a whole are meant to work together, with the music, image, and text as an interlocking guide to alchemical theory and to the production of the philosophers' stone. The multimedia Atalanta fugiens was meant not only to link sound, sight, and intellect, but also to spark discussion and laboratory practice, making it an intriguing point of entry into an examination of the place of reading and writing – and their relationship to other bodily ways of knowing - in the production of early modern knowledge.
On Feb. 5-7, Tara Nummedal (History), Evelyn Lincoln (History of Art and Architecture/Italian Studies), and Donna Bilak (Columbia University) will host an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars at Brown to explore the book. Project Atalanta will kick off on Friday, Feb. 5 at 5:30pm in the Annmary Brown Memorial with a public performance/lecture, "Songs from Hesperides: Michael Maier's 1618 Musical Alchemical Emblem Book, Atalanta fugiens" featuring Donna Bilak and the vocal ensemble Les Canards Chantants) and co-sponsored by Renaissance and Early Modern Studies. The events will continue with a weekend workshop designed to explore the possibilities for a digital edition of the Atalanta fugiens with accompanying scholarly essays. The weekend events will take place in both the Hay Library (which houses a copy of the book) and the Digital Scholarship Lab in the Rockefeller Library, and will bring together historians, literary scholars, musicologists and performers, librarians, scientists, rare books and museum curators, and digital humanists from Brown and elsewhere, as well as local graduate and undergraduate students.
The Atalanta Workshop at Brown builds on Donna Bilak's postdoctoral work on the Atalanta fugiens at the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF), a research library and center for scholars in Philadelphia, which culminated in a workshop held at CHF in March 2015 – the subject of this Philadelphia Inquirer article (16 March 2015), "Delving into a 400-year old puzzle book, through song" by Jason Laughlin.
The Brown workshop will continue the scholarly conversation and focus on the possibilities for digital scholarship presented by the book, and is made possible by the generous support of the Brown University Humanities Initiative Research and Teaching Fund, History Department, Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, and the University Library.
We are saddened to acknowledge the passing of Abbott "Tom" Gleason, an esteemed teacher, scholar, mentor, colleague, and friend. The Providence Journal obituary can be found here. In an all-campus email, President Christina Paxson noted "we have lost a truly special part of the Brown community." Plans are underway for a campus memorial service at the start of the spring semester.

With his bald head, black clothes and unusual kit – incorporating two huge parade bass drums – Ed Cassidy was the instantly recognisable drummer with Spirit, the Los Angeles psychedelic group fondly remembered for the infectious, harmony-heavy, 1969 US hit "I Got A Line On You" and the FM radio favourite "Mr Skin", a 1970 tune his nickname inspired. For three decades he was a mainstay and the spiritual leader of the many incarnations of the band he formed in 1967 with his stepson, the guitarist Randy California.
They were LA contemporaries of Arthur Lee & Love and, like them, embodied the freedom of the hippie era. "What I wanted was a band with no categories that could attempt anything, any style, and make it their own," he said. However, their distinctive blend of rock, pop, Latin, jazz and classical influences often proved too esoteric for the mainstream, though their 1970 album Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus has gone on to sell 500,000 copies, while the cult release Potato Land made the British charts in 1981.
Born on an Illinois farm in 1923, he grew up in Bakersfield, California, to where his family moved during the 1930s depression. His father died when he was young; his stepfather played the fiddle and instilled in him a love of all kinds of music, from country & western to Dixieland and big band jazz. He turned professional, though his career as a big band drummer was interrupted by two years in the Navy during the Second World War.
He took odd jobs before returning to music, at one time playing 282 consecutive one-nighters in 17 states in and around the Midwest with a showband. He also had a short stint with the San Francisco Opera before enrolling in a State Teachers College in 1950. Realising that teaching was not for him he moved to Los Angeles, where he worked with Gerry Mulligan, Art Pepper and Cannonball Adderley.
He became tired of his jazz-sideman role, and in 1964 he joined the Rising Sons – "Ry Cooder was on guitar, Taj Mahal played guitar and sang."By late 1965 he was dating, and eventually married, Randy Wolfe's recently divorced mother, Bernice Pearl, and formed the Red Roosters with Wolfe, vocalist Jay Ferguson and bassist Mark Andes. They won a talent show and played a few gigs, but in 1966 the Cassidys moved to New York. It was there that Jimi Hendrix gave Randy his "California" sobriquet, but failed to convince his mother and stepfather to let the 15 year-old accompany him to London. The next year Cassidy, his new wife and California returned to Los Angeles, where they recruited pianist John Locke before teaming up with Ferguson and Andes again.
Originally known as Spirits Rebellious, after a book by the mystic Kahlil Gibran, a favourite of the flower-power generation, they had become Spirit by the time they signed to Ode Records, the label started by Lou Adler. He produced Spirit's eponymous 1968 debut album, which made the US Top 40 and contained the atmospheric, finger-picking instrumental "Taurus", which inspired "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, who shared the bill with Spirit several times in 1969. The success of "I Got A Line On You" helped The Family That Plays Together, the second album, whose title referenced the Cassidy-California relationship and the fact that the group lived communally in Topanga Canyon, into the Top 30.
Spirit then participated in the film Model Shop, directed in the US by Jacques The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg Demy, who had seen Spirit in a club and considered them ideal for his attempt to capture the aftermath of the Summer of Love. But he spoke no English, the group no French. The fraught project failed to capitalise on the star pairing of Anouk Aimée, the leading lady of Claude Lelouch's Man And A Woman, and Gary Lockwood, fresh from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Spirit's mostly instrumental score was only issued in full in 2005. Nevertheless, Clear Spirit, their third album, and the ominous single "1984", made the US charts and they enlisted Neil Young producer David Briggs for Dr Sardonicus, arguably their finest and most focused release.
Ferguson and Andes left to form Jo Jo Gunne in 1971, and after California had a horse-riding accident Cassidy and Locke added Al and John Staehely and recorded the much-maligned Feedback. In 1972 Cassidy and California worked on the Kapt Kopter And The (Fabulous) Twirlybirds album, touring Europe and appearing on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973.
Now a power trio with bassist Barry Keene, they recaptured former glories on the critically acclaimed 1975 albums Spirit of '76 – which included Hendrix and Bob Dylan covers – and Son Of Spirit, before reuniting with Locke and Andes for Farther Along, their last release to make the US charts. Cassidy and California recorded a further six albums and remained a popular concert draw in the US, Germany and Britain. The guitarist drowned in 1997 while rescuing his son from a riptide off an Hawaiian island.
From the mid-'70s, when Cassidy wasn't gigging, hosting drum clinics or lecturing about the perils of the music industry, he acted, appearing in the TV series General Hospital and films like 2010. He died of cancer.
Edward Claude Cassidy, drummer, songwriter and actor: born Illinois 4 May 1923; twice married (one daughter); died San Jose, California 6 December 2012.Reuse content

text: LeapBand uniquely combines playful physical activities with personalized virtual pet play to help children get more active and learn about healthy choices. TORONTO, May 1, 2014 /CNW/ - LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:LF), the leader in educational entertainment, today unveiled LeapBand, the first wearable activity tracker designed just for children that encourages active play and healthy habits while nurturing their very own personalized virtual pet. The LeapBand activity tracker gets kids moving and having fun with 50 different activities and challenges, tracking a child's physical moves so the more active a child is, the more points they earn with their virtual pet. As the child earns points through active play, they can unlock additional games, challenges, levels of play and virtual rewards for their on-screen pet. LeapBand has an aspirational fit-band style designed with children in mind, and high-tech features including a built-in accelerometer, a high-resolution colour screen, a rechargeable battery and water-resistant design, making it the ultimate activity wearable for kids. "We understand that helping a child reach their potential not only includes making sure they are versed on the ABCs and 123s but they are encouraged through play to establish healthy habits and get the exercise they need every day," said Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, director of LeapFrog's Learning Team. "LeapBand is a great way to get kids up and active and help them develop a strong foundation for healthy lifestyles. LeapBand takes inspiration from the growing trend of adult fitness wearables and makes it perfect for kids by bringing the fun and play of physical activities to life with their very own virtual pets." Fit Made Fun! The LeapBand activity tracker comes with eight different customizable pets from LeapFrog's popular Pet Pals franchise - a cat, dog, dragon, monkey, panda, penguin, robot and unicorn - which can be customized by colour and name. With their very own virtual pal, children can play 10 preloaded active games and challenges with access to 40 additional free challenges. As they move and earn points, kids can unlock each of the additional eight pets and earn virtual toys for each of them as they stay engaged and learning with mini-games including Pet Boogie, Pet Chef and Pet Salon. Kids will have fun completing a variety of activities including "Walk like a crab," "Spin like a helicopter" and "Pop like popcorn" no matter where they are. LeapBand activity challenges are designed to keep kids active by tapping into their own individual movements without any required equipment. Continues Dr. Sherman LeVos, "One of the best parts of the LeapBand experience is that kids will have so much fun playing they may not realize all of the physical exercise they are experiencing and the healthy habits they are learning." Extend the Fun! In addition to the active play on LeapBand, the fun is extended to include a free downloadable companion app called the Petathlon™. In the Petathlon app, kids can compete as their virtual pet in six mini-games like archery, surfing and bobsledding to win extras including medals and new tracksuits for their virtual pet. The Petathlon app is available for download to a child's LeapPad Ultra, or an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.* Availability The LeapBand activity tracker (MSRP $39.99, for children 4 to 7 years old) will be available in green, pink and blue in Canada online and at major retail locations beginning mid-July, 2014. Additional activities and challenges are free and available for download via LeapFrog Connect for LeapBand.

When we saw fleas on our dogs we took immediate action. My daughter purchased Hartz carpet flea powder with "Fresh Scent". Little did we know what a nightmare was about to begin. It turns out that both my daughter and my self are extremely allergic to the fragrance and accompanying chemicals.
We tried and tried to get rid of the fragrance that makes us sick. Vacuuming and shampooing have done little to relieve our illness. We contacted Hartz via both email and telephone and they refuse to help, they want to blame us for using their product precisly as stated on the package instructions. We are still sick from the fumes and feeling helpless to resolve the problem.

Sailing one night this week -- Long Island NY
As you may know, we have our Beneteau 50 in the water this winter. We've been sailing most weekends, NY and CT. And I've done some sails during the week.
Last weekend I was enjoying the frozen, crystalized version of water up in VT. The weekend before I was installing the webcam on the boat instead of enjoying her. So I need a make up session.
If anyone is interested in going out for a daysail after work, let me know by PM.
Hows the ice around the docks with the 8 degree weather ?
Once the fairway gets iced-over my season will need to pause for a bit. Our slip opens onto the narrow "inlet" into the back part of the harbor. There's tidal current flowing through it, so I'm optimistic.
Brad, Sent you pm...I will be close to G.C. tomorrow, if time allows?? I will try to take a look at the creek and report. Might be some commercial traffic that could help keep things open. Hugo

The Back Story
In 2009, Matt Eldridge (now a board member) and Josh founded Lymbix with the idea of ToneCheck™ that helps people to avoid email flamewars. We have since evolved to encompass all text-based interaction including social media and beyond. The development of ToneCheck™ was the catalyst to our innovative understanding of sentiment analysis, tone analysis, entity extraction, topic discovery that not only competes in the text analytics space, but sets the bar!
We saw a need in the market. Experts from a variety of industries crying for clarity, scalability and adaptability of an ever-evolving language. Our methodology of combining NLP with adaptive learning gathered from human-powered techniques has resulted in a hybrid built for the test of the social web or whatever you can throw at it. We have built a unique piece of technology that alleviates that pain in the market.

Marquette's Bill Cords defends Big East, Fox Sports
In his news conference last week, when many were still in the grip of Shaka and awe, interim athletic director Bill Cords mentioned he disagreed with former Marquette coach Buzz Williams about a couple of matters.
Reports about Williams' departure from MU cited the coach's view that the Big East is a diminished asset and that was among the reasons he left for Virginia Tech, which is in the ACC.
"I don't think it's an issue," Cords said. "I was disappointed in Coach's comments about the conference and about Fox Sports. Fox Sports has done everything they possibly can. They are a well-led, ambitious, energetic network that is broadening its base, broadening its programs. Every one of our games last year was accessible. I really think we are in good hands with Fox Sports and they will do what it takes. They are involved in other things. They are constantly adding more programming, high-quality programming to their brand. We are very happy with them."
In his most recent radio show on WAUK-AM (540) with Steve "the Homer" True, Williams was asked about the new Big East and in passing referenced the TV deal of the league.
"It's felt different," Williams said. "I think it is different. I think it is a better league than what it gets credit for within the media. And I think the reason why is because we are not on ESPN. And I think most of the people who are the fans go to ESPN for their source of information."
Most Big East games are carried on FS1, which launched on Aug. 17.
As a fledgling sports cable channel, FS1 is not available in the number of households ESPN is, but it was widely distributed when it was launched.
In March, FS1 distribution was at 86.7 million U.S. households, compared with 96.3 million households for ESPN.
Finding FS1 in the channel lineup has been a chore for some viewers, enough of a problem that all emails sent by Fox employees include a "Find the Channels" link at the bottom.
The most-watched college basketball telecast on FS1 this season was on March 15, the Big East tournament championship between Providence and Creighton, which had 702,000 viewers.
When Louisville played Syracuse in that championship game the previous season on ESPN, the telecast had 3.4 million viewers. When Michigan played Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament title game on CBS on Selection Sunday, 4.5 million viewers watched.
The most-viewed college basketball game in the regular season for ESPN was on Feb. 1, when Syracuse played Duke and more than 4.7 million viewers watched.
On Feb. 4, ESPN reported that it was averaging 1.504 million viewers for its college basketball telecasts this season.
The first 126 college basketball telecasts on FS1 averaged about 93,000 viewers, according to the Sports Business Journal. Over that same span, ESPNU carried 260 college basketball telecasts that averaged about 138,300 viewers.
Joe Alexender's reset
Joe Alexander continues to pursue his aim to play in the NBA.
Alexander, 27, plays for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors' affiliate in the NBA D-League.
The 6-8 forward has returned to playing pro basketball after being sidelined for two years with a stress fracture in his right tibia.
Alexander was the eighth pick overall in the 2008 draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
"Man, I just love to play ball," he told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. "Before I had the surgery, I never would have said that. I would have been like, you know, I'm passionate about winning and I want to play in the NBA. But I've learned through this process, I just love to play basketball. And when I'm not playing, I'm sad. That's all it comes down to. I've learned that through this process."
The long goodby
Commissioner Bud Selig was asked what MLB's role will be as popular Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter plays his last season.
"Yeah, we're talking about it," Selig said during a conference call with reporters Friday. "Look, I want to say to you about Derek, and I'll have plenty to say during the course of the year, no player in my time has represented this sport any better than Derek Jeter. He really has in many ways been the face of baseball, and I am proud of him. I've told him that often. He's just been a great player on the field, but to be frank with you, a better person off the field.
"We're talking about a lot of things now, but a lot of that also is going to be up to Derek," Selig said. "I'm sorry to see him go, but in every great career it has to come to an end at some point. You couldn't have done any better as a human being the last 20 years relative to this sport than Derek Jeter has done."
Borland has inside track
Analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay both rank Chris Borland second on their list of the top inside linebacker prospects in the NFL draft. Kiper and McShay updated their position-by-position rankings Friday.
Borland is listed behind only C.J. Mosley of Alabama.

Translations pending.

Now Kandahar army have taken a control of a highway and a mistake formerly was that we handed over a confidence shortcoming of a highway to Uruzgan forces. We are also perplexing to move reforms among Uruzgan military force members, he said.

Taliban fighters are mostly regulating a civilians houses in fought opposite confidence forces. This has slowed down a operations and we are perplexing to strengthen civilians, Afghan commando Sharifullah Chamto said.

But Gen. Raziq says some-more reinforcements have arrived from Kabul and Kandahar and are perplexing to boost confidence in a province.

Ever since George Clinton promised, "Free your ass and your mind will follow," funk bands have aimed to find the perfect cerebral groove. Orgone, a nine-piece Los Angeles-based Afrobeat/funk/soul ensemble keeps the axiom in mind, searching for the midpoint between booty-shaking and chin-stroking. The group has been playing together for more than 10 years, and you can hear it in their precise grooves, which manage to sound as casual and effortless as mindless jamming. Orgone captures the organic tones of '70s funk and soul perfectly, but the band isn't stuck in the past, putting down taut grooves on records by Alicia Keys, Solange Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, and touring as Texas-based rapper Bun B's backing band. The session work may help pay the bills, but the band is at its best when getting down on its own sound, a heady blend of sounds that suggests the band takes Wilhelm Reich's "orgone energy" (universal life force) philosophy to heart as much as appropriate George Clinton quotes. Slightly more sophisticated and fine-tuned than your cousin's crappy jam band, no?

At 2.46pm on March 11, 2013, the Japanese nation observed a moment of silence to mark the moment the earth began to shake two years earlier, causing the tsunami and nuclear disaster that almost devastated the country. But as a hush descended over Japanese streets, homes and offices, on Twitter, thousands of Japanese users tweeted "mokutou", or "silent prayer", as a way to pay their respects in the digital realm.
The 2011 disaster and social media will be forever linked in Japan. It was the medium's watershed moment, the time when more traditional media—land lines, mobile phones and television—failed to provide people with the support or information they sought. Today, with a new prime minister in place, Japan is beginning to recover politically and economically. But the aftershocks of 3/11 continue to reverberate throughout the nation's social fabric. As values shift and the country feels a renewed sense of community, consumer behaviour and the media landscape are changing too.
An immediate upshot of the natural disaster was the public's flight to Twitter. The network saw a 500 per cent increase in tweets from Japan, with the volume of tweets per second spiking five times to more than 5,000 in the aftermath. "Social media like Twitter and Facebook were the only way to connect with others as people weren't able to make phone calls," says Kaz Maezawa, founder of Naked Communications, Tokyo. "I think that was the moment when people started seeing more importance in social media."
While television has long dominated the media landscape in Japan, its hold is slipping, with viewing falling even before 3/11. The disaster exacerbated its decline—as did the rapid rise of the smartphone in the territory—with viewers logging in to social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Mixi where they could receive news updates and connect with friends and family simultaneously.
A subsequent effect of 3/11 on media has been a modification of conduct within the networks themselves. As a society that has historically been uncomfortable sharing personal information, such as real names, online, the Japanese became more open and accountable post-disaster. At the beginning of 2011, under two per cent of the country's online population used Facebook, which, among other reasons, was deemed too personal. (To compare, Mixi, which allows for user anonymity, held an 80 per cent share of the country's social media market.) While it is still not as popular as it is in many other countries in the region, the number of Facebook accounts increased by six times since the earthquake and is currently more than 15 million, according to the company's estimated reach indicator.
Similarly, Line, an instant messaging application that is connected to users' Facebook accounts or mobile phone number, has seen explosive growth. Launched in June 2011, Line users surpassed the 100 million mark in January.
To accommodate such changes, brands operating in Japan have had to adjust their strategies. Moony, a major diaper brand, chose Facebook as a way to connect with mothers and encourage participation in its 'To the zero-year-old moms' campaign. By creating a concept video, which encouraged and supported new mothers, the brand revamped its online presence, attracting 20,000 fans in six months with a 10 per cent engagement rate (the average rate being two per cent).

"The beauty of social media is that it's proactive, as opposed to websites, which are becoming more like catalogues or brand communication tools," says Maezawa, whose company Naked Communications worked on the Moony campaign. "Rather than sending product information, we encouraged them to post information about the consumers themselves. What brands are trying to do is engage. The pushier they become, the more consumers try to escape from too much information. They have to have the balance between what they want to say and listening to the customers."
Another brand closely observing consumer behaviour is zozotown.com, an e-commerce platform focused on Asian fashion. Noting that most Japanese people watch television between 8 and 10pm, zozotown.com adjusted its marketing strategy accordingly. "Though zozotown.com is a relatively young fashion site, they're very smart and only do discounting or the launch of new ranges at 10pm in the evening during the week," says Antony Cundy, executive business and strategy director at Beacon Leo Burnett in Tokyo. By paying attention to consumer trends, the site has used the advantages of digital to slot seamlessly into people's daily lives.
Cundy adds that the spike in smartphone sales post-disaster is another reason brands must focus on digital. "You've got to understand that 3/11 accelerated things in Japan that were taking on the same kind of growth in other markets, specifically social media and mobile," says Cundy. "It's not true the introduction of smartphones completely changed the mobile landscape, because up until [the disaster] the phone wasn't used for web browsing, it was used to make payments or watch TV. The smartphone penetration through 2012 has been astonishing. Now you can't have a campaign without a mobile element to it in Japan."
It is not only brands that have had to restrategise. Agencies and consultancies, too, have needed to respond to the county's new diversity. In June 2011, five of Japan's top creatives founded Party, an ideas hub with offices in Tokyo and New York. "[The disaster] wasn't why we formed Party," says Masashi Kawamura, the company's cofounder and creative director. "But at the same time, the way people work in Japan in the marketing and design community should change. It [the disaster] brought a lot of realisations that there needs to be a different infrastructure; there needs to be a different way for communities to interact with each other. In terms of the communications, brands are trying to tap into a form of social goodness," Kawamura adds.
A new outlook
The 2011 disaster has had a lasting impact on the outlook of Japanese consumers. Following the quake, the Hakuhodo Institute of Life and Living, a market research firm, pinpointed a "growing sense of personal responsibility" and a "desire to contribute to society", particularly in younger generations. Attendance at religious centres also increased post-disaster. Other individuals, meanwhile, sought to make more meaningful relationships. Matchmaking agency Marry Me reported inquiries rose 30 per cent after the quake.
Phil Rubel, CEO and representative director at Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon, Tokyo, witnessed this renewed sense of community. "Short-term changes were, to me, reminiscent of behavioural changes in the US in the aftermath of 9/11 or in Thailand in 2004 after the tsunami", Rubel says. "People were nicer to each other and more concerned about each other's wellbeing. There was an increased sense of unity and of social responsibility".
Japan is famous for its subcultures and they will always exist, but groups that were once marginalised are becoming more accepted. This opening up is as much out of a desire for unity—a move to re-establish the identity of Japanese people, than the need for security. One symptom of this "togetherness" has been the celebration of subcultures such as otaku (nerds) or pocchari (chubby girls) in mainstream media. Nonconformist celebrities such as Naomi Watanabe, a pocchari, is increasingly appearing in fashion magazines—something which would have been unthinkable until quite recently (see Snapshot). Cundy observes that 'plus-size' changing rooms have also become a feature at some retailers.
As part of a renewed appreciation of life, health has become a concern for Japanese consumers. "There's been a renewed focus on health and well-being through and of what people are eating," says Simon Sproule, corporate vice-president of global marketing communications at Nissan. The Lohas (lifestyles of health and sustainability) movement has seen a resurgence of popularity since the disaster, he says. "When you go to a supermarket, people want to know where their vegetables were grown."
Sproule thinks that the nuclear fears following the Fukushima meltdown also heightened people's awareness of energy conservation. "The nuclear fallout is still having an influence, in terms of how people view energy dependence in this country and the impact that has on the economy," he says. "The electric car became interesting to consumers, but not for reasons we originally anticipated."
Following 3/11, the government was forced to close nuclear power plants, which, in turn, made energy scarce. "Power was such an issue the government requested certain industries to work different working weeks", Sproule says. "For about three months the auto industry worked a Saturday-Wednesday work week, with Thursday and Friday off. People got very interested in energy management and this coincided with the launch of our electric car [the Nissan Leaf]."
Noting people's concerns, Nissan launched its 'Leaf to home' power system and campaign throughout Japan in June 2012. The Leaf backup power supply, stored in the vehicle's battery, hooks up to residential homes and acts as a source of electricity. "Suddenly everyone said 'wow'," says Sproule. "Power was being rationed in many parts, so people could charge up their cars when off-peak and then during periods when the grid was turned off they could power their homes".
Like elsewhere in the world, branding in Japan is moving beyond communications to play a more meaningful role, with purposeful brands particularly resonating with people post-3/11.
"Astute brands are trying to become more integral, more of a facilitator in people's lives," says Phil Rubel of Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon. "For example, running shoe companies are providing shower and change room facilities adjacent to the palace grounds in central Tokyo, a favourite place for runners. That's a much better way to integrate themselves into people's lives than simply showcasing footwear at a one-off event."
Recently, Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon worked with Godiva on a campaign targeting women for Valentine's Day. They created a mannequin wired with sensing technology that measured the 'quality' of the women's hugs. Their ratings were posted on a Godiva Facebook site and shared via people's individual sites.
"Participation and sharing with live and virtual activities created a powerful combination that could not be replicated with one-way communication," says Rubel. "It was a lot of fun and women lined up by the thousands to give it a try. The media also picked up on it and covered this unusual series of events." Rubel adds: "People do not normally hug one another in public in Japan."

Love these! So happy there's an organic alternative to Pop Tarts.
- Kate Costello
Kids love!
I'd rather have my kids eat these than the regular pop tarts!
- Savage
better than poptarts
okay - we all know about poptarts and how much bad it has in them. Which is why I would stay away from them but honestly I love strawberry poptarts - but would hold myself off. Just looking at the things that are contained....thank goodness for this organic frosted strawberry pastries !!!
Similar to poptart but better! I like how the frosting isn't too much, just a thin layer and the jam inside isn't too sweet.
I finished my box and can't wait to order another. Although, I ordered the berry one as well - and I'm hoping it'll be just as good as the strawberry one.
- Virginie
I was afraid, as many people are when trying to switch to more organic foods, that the flavor would be less appealing to my family.
That is NOT THE CASE with these!! My husband gobbled the first one he tried down with a grin. My daughter did as well.
- Cali
My daughter loves it
Better than pooptarts
Everyone in my house loves poptarts (pooptarts as I call them since they're not very good for you) so I decided to try these. They're really good! I've always thought that poptarts have too much filling and not enough crust. I like a 40%-60% ratio of filling to crust. These are perfect. We love them!
- David
Better than Pop Tarts!
I love these. They make a great little treat and honestly I like them better than traditional Pop Tarts! They still satisfy the sweet tooth without that chemical/artificial taste that you get from regular pop tarts.
- Grace Ross
Delicious alternative to Pop Tarts
I love these as a more healthful alternative to Pop Tarts! I find these very sweet, which is exactly what I want if I'm in the mood for Pop Tarts, but I can still taste the flavor of the fruit. Great alternative!
- Nicole
healthy pop tart
I buy these locally but thrive has good price in a pinch. I love the healthy alternative to the old pop tart
- tc
These are great! My kids can't even tell the difference between these and those "other" ones.
- Nicole Antinori
The BEST
I am watching my carb intake but I had to try these, they are BETTER than the other brand that I usually buy. My kids also loved them we just wish there were more in a box. Definitely reordering these!!!!!
- Tanisha
Strawberry Toaster Pastery
My daughters favourite flavour-makes a fun after school snack.

A word of warning about the microwave wheat packs (which are very nice, though don't work for injuries for me the way ice does). We left ours in a warm cupboard when we went away, and when we came back the room was full of thousands of little corn weevils that had hatched out from it.
I've always worked on the premise that ice is only really beneficial for the first 36 hours after an injury, to prevent immediate swelling as much as possible, and also just after each run in the case of ongoing problems like shin pain.
Both the physios I've used in the last couple of years said that ice wouldn't make any difference for an injury that was more than a few days old, and that the best way to encourage healing after that was heat, as it it increases the blood flow to the injured area which speeds up the healing process.
Not 100% sure this is correct, just what I've been told.
P.S. at the thought of the corn weevils...
Beware of using heat or massage too early into the injury as both of these can aggravate the problem.
Also - further to runs-with-dogs final paragraph - continued icing would slow down the healing process as bloodflow to the injury is restricted
I agree with runs-with-dogs and ajax. I would just add - make sure to finish on cold when doing contrast bathing, especially in first few days.
Yes RT you're right although towards the end of hot/cold (last 2 days) treatment I finish on hot.
Another purpose of hot/cold is to start phasing out cold treatment in favour of hot, so the first 4 days I start & finish on cold whilst days 5 & 6 start & finish with hot.
My timings are very user friendly too but I've found when I've describe the timings I actually use, the client often doesn't find it easy to follow.

This is timely: with the eyes of the world (well, some eyes) on Scotland because of the Commonwealth Games and an impending referendum, The Secret History of Our Streets (BBC2) has caught the mood of the moment by going there too. Not to Glasgow, but Edinburgh – and a very different Edinburgh from the one of Trainspotting. The Moray Feu in the New Town is, quite simply, "the poshest street in Scotland". And the people who live there are the poshest Scots in Scotland. So posh they sound like posh English. They don't talk about it here, but I'm guessing this lot will mostly be voting no on 18 September.
There's grand architecture, and a grand story with a splendid cast. It started with an earl and an exclusive enclave of elitism. There is still an earl there, descended from that first one, and others whose families have lived there for generations. Colonialists and lord presidents and members of the Order of the Thistle, and brigadiers, and noble men who used to take their horses with them on the train. But there have been hard times, too, when once grand palaces were sold for a song, or turned into hospitals and nursing homes. Now it's a mix of crumbly old money – aristocrats hanging on with their swords, paintings and memories – and new money moving in, putting in lots of extra bathrooms as well as actually sounding like Scots. So, much more than a story of town planning and grey stone, The Secret History of Our Streets is a story of social change, fascinating and moving, as it was last time round.
Film-maker Joseph Bullman has a lovely way with them, the people. Prying, but in a gentle, friendly manner. Humorous, too. He seems to like them, they seem to like – and trust – him back. Not that they're always very forthcoming. "Do you ever stand here and imagine what it must have been like when it was first built, when they would have balls in this room?" he asks Käthe Paton, looking up at a corner of fancy plaster ceiling in what is now her storeroom. "Not really, no," she replies.
