I had a Facelift that included my eyes, neck and forehead. I did this surgery for myself because I didn't like the effects of aging. Now I look in the mirror and love what I see. Dr. Weiss is an artist. I love the office staff. They treated me like family. I would recommend Dr. Weiss to anyone. READ MORE

Bloomberg Still Optimistic About Taxi Bill
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he Friday he remains optimistic Governor Andrew Cuomo will sign a bill that would put $1 billion in the city's coffers and allow street hails of some livery cabs in residential areas.
Bloomberg said on his weekly WOR Radio appearance Friday that he'd spoken to Cuomo the day before. He didn't disclose the details.
Cuomo said Wednesday that talks had failed to resolve significant issues with the bill. He said that without agreement, he'd veto it and wait for it to be brought up again next year.
The plan to allow a new class of livery car to accept street hails in upper Manhattan that was at the center of Bloomberg's legislative agenda this year is facing a veto by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The bill passed the state legislature last summer and is finally expected to be sent to Cuomo on Friday to sign. He has said he will veto it because efforts to revise the legislation through chapter amendments failed this week.
Cuomo said there were a myriad of issues that remained unresolved, including ensuring more wheelchair accessibility into the plan.
"I've said from day one, if we don't have a resolution of these issues I'm going to veto the bill because you don't have an agreement. We have been trying we've had numerous meeting over the past few weeks but we failed to reach resolution."
The bill has faced passionate opposition from yellow taxi fleet owners, some in the livery industry and advocates for the disabled.
When Bloomberg was asked by reporters on Thursday if the bill was going to die, he appeared to be holding out hope for his plan, which he has said will increase taxi options beyond Manhattan.
"Many times the governor has assured me this would pass with some minor changes," he said. "We've worked on it with the governor's staff, the state senate staff, the state assembly staff for months now."
Cuomo has 10 days to decide whether to sign the bill or veto.
He has said that if he veto's the legislation could be reintroduced early next year so there's more time to resolve some of the key issues.

Michael Shuman - Local Dollars, Local Sense
20 September 2012 , 9:43 AM by Karyn Wood
If you've got a mortgage, then you're probably hoping that the Reserve Bank will cut interest rates again before Christmas.
But for those of you who are self-funded retirees, any interest rate cut means a drop in your income. Is there a way to beat what the banks are offering, and invest in a scheme locally and get a good return on your money?
According to author Michael Shuman : yes. He's the author of eight books - his latest is "Local dollars - Local sense", and he's coming to the Coast next tuesday to tell us how we can revolutionise the way we invest.

Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
I noticed last weekend when replacing the rear end links (cool and easy job btw) that one of my rear coil springs looked like the leaning tower of Pisa. It didn't look right. When compared with the driver side...it confirmed that something is really wrong. I had my shocks replaced last July and so that is the last time they were touched. I brought it back to the shop that serviced the shocks I didn't hear any impacts or nothing (very small shop). I was brought back in and suddenly they looked to be seated properly...I was puzzled (turned by hand????). So the rear acted up again since that visit on Saturday. I took pictures Saturday and then again today. The situation today is the same as it was when I changed the links. Feels like the rear is not following the front...makes the steering feel imprecise and sloppy. I attached some pics of the alleged culprit. I have never had a coil spring go bad on me so I have no idea what it is going on. Is it broken or not well installed? Thanks!
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
I forgot to post the pictures of the other spring on the driver's side that is sitting squarely. Here they are. Any ideas what is going on between both sides?
Thanks. IMG_0291.jpgIMG_0293.jpg
It look that is off center or bent. If your are able take a look at it when the car is flat ground or put a jack under the control arm and lift the car that way and then removel the wheel and see how the spring look conpress.
It looks just fine to me.
They're clocked differently, so each coil is going to look a bit different at the ends, where the coil tapers in towards the center.
If the rear ride height is the same on both sides, they're perfectly fine.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
It does really look off center and that is what drew my attention initially. I can't really get a good measure of ride height here in Kentucky because it is very hard to get on true flat ground (very very hilly). I've tried several times and never get the same measurements due to that. I spoke to a friend this morning and he told me that springs are tighter at one end and looser at the other. The loose end he said was supposed to be at the bottom to absorb road irregularities and then the top is tighter to have the least of the irregularities transfer to the chassis. Are our springs made that way? I'm thinking that either he is right or the spring is weak? Then again I am a rookie when it comes to DIY mechanics. Any ideas? Thanks.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
Gas stations are made on flat ground take you're measuring tape and go fill up.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
It only looks off center because you're viewing it from an angle that the taper in the spring (toward center) is very visible.
Also, both springs are "wound" in the same direction, and viewed from the front, spirals down to the left (the left side of each coil is lower than the right side). When the car is jacked up, and the lower control arms pivot down, they pull the bottom of the springs forward. Since the springs are both wound in the same direction, that makes them look different on both sides. On the drivers side, it makes each coil look flat and level. On the passengers side, it makes each coil look more slanted than they already are, giving the illusion that the spring is leaning more than the other side.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
Thank you for the help. @MoistCabbage: it is off center when the car is sitting on the ground also. Difficult to tell on the pictures due to the darkness. I adjusted the lighting so you can see. This is taken through a gap in the rim. DSCF0714.jpg
The other one is perfectly square with the perch when on the ground. @Tom's Caddy: I feel like an idiot for not having thought that one up! lol I just measured it and there is a slight touch over a 1/4 inch difference between the affected side (higher and not centered) than the driver side (lower and centered). I am assuming that is why I am having poor handling, steering returnability issues and why the car is pulling left (despite many alignments). The steering returns to center when turning right but not when turning left. As I mentioned in the initial post the mechanic repositioned it Saturday but it didn't take long for it to be back in the same position. I am assuming that the coil is not broken/weak if that side of the car is higher. What can be the problem?
Again, it's not off center. The coil tapers in at the top of the spring. At the angle you're looking at it (and taking the pictures), the taper is what's making it look off center. Look at the picture, look how far the coil on the left sticks out past the rubber isolator. Then look to the right, just above the rotor. That part of the coil sticks past the isolator the same amount.
Did you "settle" the suspension before taking the measurements? Push the rear bumper down ~1", lift it up ~1", and slowly release it, then repeat for the front? Did you check for equal tire pressure all around? Take everything out of the car? Even is one side is 1/4" low, it's not enough to cause the problems you're describing. And if the side you think there's something's wrong with is the higher one, it's definitely not a spring problem. Springs can only sag or break, and either will cause a LOWER ride height.
I didn't do the settling thin before measuring. But my tire pressure is equal all around (I'm OCD with that) and there is never anything of considerable weight in my car. The only thing is a little cover for the backseat for my dog. Otherwise my trunk is empty and the cabin is relatively empty. Ill try that test in daylight tomorrow and report back. Thanks again.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
CaddyMak I would go to my local Caddy dealer and just very nicely ask do you have a tech that is really good with caddy springs and shocks (suspensions), could he just humor me for a minute and have a quick look at something for me to tell me if this is normal or not. If they are not busy, I would just walk him outside towards you're car the whole time telling him what you think and asking if that could be the cause of you're steering issue. I would even take you're pictures as a last resort and ask if that is normal just over the counter if they won't look at it without an appointment (charge), also if you are taking some of those pictures through the wheels on the car try to find another DTS on the lot and have a peek. You just might get the answer you want NO CHARGE.
Re: Rear Coil Spring - Broken or Improperly Installed?
@Tom's Caddy: I think I will be doing that Monday morn. Thanks for the tip.
I just did the test and the passenger side is still higher than the driver side. I took a quick look at the GM parts and AC Delco sites and it looks like the right side shock part has been replaced with a new number. I don't know if this has any relation to the height issue. I bought this shock and it had it installed in July. At that point the # was 504-116 and now it is 504-147 (it was made by BWI; the Chinese co. that bought out Delphi). On the Gm parts list the number has been replaced too from 15873314 to 19300026. I do not know why numbers are changed but I'm assuming it is to upgrade something. The other thing is there is a (new?) part number for the springs that do not match the number on the tag (seen in picture). But I'm assuming that is not a problem because I would've read about complaints here on the forum (as it was the case with the front brake pad/rotor combo).
Measurements after the settling the suspension:
Passenger: a little over 29 3/8 inches (service allowed 28.3-29.1 in; Service Preferred 28.7)
Driver: 29 1/8 inches (service allowed 28.3-29.1 in; Service Preferred 28.7)
I bought that manual off of Ebay that one member suggested in a thread a month or so ago. It looks like my driver side is just at the limit of the trim height specifications while the passenger side is over it. The recommended solution in the manual is to change the springs but I don't know if that is appropriate. The only other thing I can think of is maybe the pigtails (sitting on the control arm) are pointing in the wrong direction? Are they both supposed to be pointing towards the driver side (left side of vehicle)? On a last note, my brother who works in tires for years now explained that ride height in the rear affects caster in the front, especially when it is beyond specifications. He says that may possibly explain the steering issue. But I am no alignment, geometry specialist.

Lenovo include a lot of software as standard and its recovery suite is excellent for doing regular backups or restoring to factory defaults. Personally, I go straight to add/remove and get rid of most of it. The system tray is absolutely a chocker with icons and it's hard to find what's important. Although it's nice to Norton Internet Security included, I'd sooner be using AVG Anti-Virus.
There is no office application provided, but since my move to Linux recently, I've been getting to grips with OpenOffice instead and it's absolutely superb, and naturally free.
Performance on this system was fine, almost keeping up with the previously reviewed and similarly specced Zepto Znote 6214W. What let it down was slightly slower hard drive performance, that is more than likely the cause for it's slightly lower SYSmark score.
Battery life was a little better at 162 minutes, which is more than enough considering its weight. If you need longer and if you were expecting to be using a notebook on the go for more than three hours a day, you'd consider getting an ultra portable.
This notebook is a good performer in a decent chassis. Although £537.98 is for the version with integrated graphics and only 512MB of memory, this can't be far off and that's amazing value for money. Unless you are intending on being on the move a lot, this is well worth considering.

Double Review and Comparison: Finis Zoomers Gold vs Positive Drive FinsPosted on Feb 27, 2012 under Geek Out!, Raves | Comments are off
This review has been a long time in the offing. I've been putting off swimming with fins because I've been babying my shin splint. The splint is under control and rarely bugging me these days, so I put in some km with these 2 different fins to get a feel for each of them and specifically how they compare and contrast.
Zoomers Gold
The Finis Zoomer Gold is a pretty great training fin for building leg strength, and for developing a shorter and more powerful kick when swimming freestyle, back or fly. The Gold, however, doesn't really lend itself well to breaststroke. The Golds feature a full foot pocket with open toe. It's made of solid rubber and is pretty stiff but has a little give. I found that the Golds generated hot-spots where my toes exited the foot pockets – at least until the fins were broken in a bit. Perhaps with swim socks or a slightly larger size this wouldn't have been an issue, unsure.
Positive Drive Fins
The Positive Drive Fins (PDFs) are a rethinking of the typical swim fin shape and design. The foot pocket and heel strap are very comfortable and the closed toe helps transfer more power to the fin. The fin is not floppy, but is pretty flexible. The foot pocket is asymmetrically set into the fin encouraging a "toe in" propulsive kick. The fin design also lends itself well to all strokes.
The closed toe, flex, foot pocket asymmetry and size of the propulsive surface really drives your legs to work hard. A couple of hundred meters with these guys and my legs were really feeling it.
A Fin Is a Fin, Right?
Well… no, not right. Sure, almost any fin will help push you through the water, but we aren't snorkelling or scuba diving here, we're training!
Many fins on the market have very large propulsive surfaces compared to either of these fins, but unless you're training in a 50m pool, that much propulsion in the water is almost contrary to what you want. You want to encourage short powerful kicks, good body position, ankle flexion and good kick technique. Both of these fins excel in these aspects with some notable differences:
Foot pocket design: I find the PDFs more comfortable. I also really notice the pocket asymmetry and improved power transfer. I only really swim freestyle, but the design lending itself to other strokes could be a big benefit to more rounded swimmers.
Propulsion: I feel that the PDFs provide a little more propulsion than the Golds, and provide a harder leg workout. This may be a drawback in a smaller pool or a plus if you're working your leg strength.
These are both great training fins. Given that I only swim freestyle, either can happily have a good home in my swim bag. In the end, if I could only choose 1 pair, I'd lean toward the Positive Drive Fins because of the asymmetry and heavier workout than I got with the Golds. Who knows: one day I may even learn fly 🙂

If you enjoy reviewing books, say on Goodreads or your blog,
and appreciate free copies, this post is for you!
About two months ago I discovered NetGalley.com and I confess to being addicted to the site already. Here top publishers offer ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) of their upcoming releases to reviewers, librarians, educators, bloggers, etc., to read, with the condition that you write a review somewhere useful. Fiction and nonfiction, adult and children's books - you name it, NetGalley's got it.
All you have to do is sign up - it's free - and complete your profile. The latter is important as the publishers look at where you review and then decide if they will send you the ARC. Here too is the location where you choose categories that you prefer to review.
You need to have an ereader to take advantage of these opportunities as the ARCs are only delivered as ebooks. However, they come in digital formats compatible with the top ereaders, so if you have a Kindle, a Kobo, a Nook, a Sony, an Apple or Android tablet or smartphone, you'll be set to go.
You can browse the publishers, categories, and titles from NetGalley's home page before you sign up; I think there are probably thousands!! Also I have been happy with the instructions and guidelines on the site, especially about creating your profile so you entice publishers to send you an ARC. It worked almost too well for me....
I love getting the books by my favourite authors before they are published. And now my only problem is time - my TBR pile may be virtual but it's tall!

The Faire itself was put together by the local maker group - Make It Dayton which has sponsored Raspberry Pi Day events the past two years. Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker Movement. It's a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. [More]
On the weekend of May 20-22nd the MCM Electronics team participated in two large events in different parts of the country. Hamvention which is located in our hometown of Dayton and the Bay Area Maker Faire in the San Fransisco area.
The 11th annual Maker Faire runs from May 20-22 at the San Mateo Event Center in sunny California. We will have a booth right next to the Pi Foundation and will have plenty of great maker items on hand for sale. Make sure to drop by our booth, say hi and see what all we have on hand for you! You can also enter our drawing to win an Ultimaker 2+ 3D Printer [More]
This past Saturday, March 12th, Pi Day came two days early at the 2016 Dayton Makers Fest sponsored by Make it Dayton! Over 600 enthusiastic makers attended the second annual event and enjoyed a vast array of maker projects and presentations. [More]
Today is Pi Day and what better way to celebrate than with the Raspberry Pi 3 1GB Single Board Computer?The Raspberry Pi 3 was launched on February 29th 2016 the fourth anniversary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Over 8 million of the various iterations of the Raspberry Pi boards have been sold around the world and the number is steadily increasing every month. Here are some handy Raspberry Pi links that are great for any day usage!
Join us and celebrate Pi Day two days early on Saturday, March 12th! Make it Dayton is having their second annual Pi Day Maker Fest at the Wright Brothers Institute in Dayton and we'll be joining in the fun and providing two Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kits as door prizes:
Now that you have the new Raspberry Pi 3, a chart mapping out the GPIO Pins would be handy wouldn't it? We thought so and created this quick guide!
MCM Electronics is starting off February with a number of great new products. Take a look at our video above for an overview of all the latest and then see the links below for all the details!

In June, a small business lawyer and politician named Farha Ahmed was in a run-off election against Harish Jajoo for a city council seat in Sugar Land, Texas. In the final hours of the election, an anonymous mailer was sent around the town proclaiming that Ahmed is connected to Al-Qaeda. The "concerned citizen" links her to Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a woman branded as "Lady Al-Qaeda" in the media. She is also questioned for her connection to CAIR.While these mailers did not necessarily cost her the … [Read more...]

More Bus, More States
Local Power, All Over the Place
The Bus has national reach, but we're not a national organization. And for good reason.
We're a family of local groups building power where it belongs – in communities across the country. But we're also a family. We look alike. We talk alike. And like any good family, we're growing. How, you ask? Um, we'll tell you when you're older.
What began in a bar in Portland, OR has spread to communities from Missoula, to Chicago, to Columbus, to San Antonio. Multiplying like rabbits, these kids.
Check out everything awesome in every corner of the Bus.
We also help run national programs to serve local organizing like National Voter Registration Day and Trick or Vote. Because somebody's got to.Read On, If You Dare.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel says he didn't expect to arrange a final agreement with Palestinian leaders that would meet the needs of both countries for at least 20-30 years. "You don't have a mandate from the Jewish people to make these concessions." Olmert noted that he was talking with moderate Palestinian leaders such as President Mahmoud Abbas and that it would take considerable time to achieve peace.
Israel's tragedy is having a weak leader such as Olmert at an important juncture in their history. He is unable to grasp the meaning of "leadership." A leader inspires his nation, a leader puts forth new ideas, a leader ventures onto untrod paths, a leader places his nation's interests before his political needs. Neither Palestinians nor the Arab world will wait 20-30 years while ineffectual people like Olmert diddle daddle around fearing to take steps for peace. Franklin Roosevelt in WWII asked the impossible of his nation, John F. Kennedy promised to land a man on the moon before the idea was even assured. All Olmert can mumble is for Israel to live in fear for another 20-30 years.

|Banshee (Sean Cassidy)
Marvel Comics
So before I head out to celebrate the Wearing o' the Green and the Drinking o' the Guinness, I thought I'd share with you some random Irish-themed ideas for your consideration that you may enjoy using in your ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying games!
New Weapon/Device: Shillelagh (Sail éille)
You can accomplish more with a kind word and a shillelagh than you can with just a kind word. - Irish saying.
shillelagh is made from the wood of a blackthorn (sloe) or oak tree and has been given a shiny, black finished appearance by polishing with butter and then curing it in the chimney. A wrist strap is then attached and the heavy "hitting" end is hollowed out and filled with molten lead to add weight. As a weapon, the shillelagh is used for striking, parrying and disarming and is a proud symbol of Irish martial tradition and heritage.
In ICONS terminology, a shillelagh does Bashing damage 5 as a blunt melee weapon and adds a +1 bonus to any blocking (Strength) attempts to parry or grabbing (Strength) attempts to disarm.
As a device, the shillelagh can be outfitted with any number of Powers depending on the device's origin and power source. Some common Powers associated with the shillelagh include Blast, Strike [Bashing], Elemental Control [Weather], and Reflection, but anything is possible with a little imagination and the magic of the Little People (e.g. Danger Sense, Shrinking).
New Quality: The Luck of the Irish
|'Tis himself!
Variant: Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day
If one hero in the group has The Luck of the Irish Aspect, on St. Patrick's Day (be it the actual day or the day in-game) all other heroes aligned with that character can use this Aspect as if they had it themselves.
New Quality: The Gift of the Gab
Irish Diplomacy is the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he looks forward to making the trip. - Irish saying.
|Blarney Castle
New Quality: The Quiet Man
You are a private person of few words, and you tend to keep to yourself. But still waters run deep, and your unobtrusive nature allows you to see and overhear things others miss. You may tag this Aspect by spending a Determination point to gain an advantage whenever you are in a situation that requires alertness, listening, spotting, information gathering, silence or stealth while going unnoticed.
New Challenge: Irish Temper
You are quick to anger and more likely than not to settle an argument with your fists. In fact, you would much rather fight than eat. You gain a point of Determination whenever the GM compels this Aspect, but that requires you to make an unarmed attack on someone - anyone - nearby. You can refuse the compel instead by spending a point of Determination to avoid a fight - unless of course you enjoy the prospect of a good old fashioned donnybrook!
Inspiration: Irish Superheroes
In my Web research, I came upon this link from St. Patrick's Day in 2009 where MTV published this list of Irish Superheroes.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, and thanks for reading! Now I'm off to the pub...

Mike Price Media Luncheon Quotes (9/17/12)
Sept. 17, 2012
(Opening remarks on Saturday's 41-28 win over NM State)
"We planned not to use Nathan Jeffery in the game. He came up to me in pregame and [running backs coach] Jeff Banks said he was bouncing off the wall ready to go. Our trainer Dawn Hearn said he could go and she released him [to play]. He really wanted to play bad. We had our first 10 plays scripted without him in the game. LA Dowell, Josh Bell and Autrey Golden practiced all of those plays. So I said let's get through our script. We got through our script and were about ready to put him in and it was 21-0. So we put him in and then the game was getting out of reach so we said maybe we should keep him out. Bell ran great with two touchdowns. LA Dowell had a 29-yard run on the second play of the game. Golden played tremendous and also showed his speed on kickoff returns. He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he's tough. Those three backs came off the bench and had a great game. Nathan will be practicing all week and I think he will be ready to go for this game."
(On injury updates)
(On the benefits of playing Oklahoma and Ole Miss in the first two weeks)
"I think it was kind of a confidence builder. When you play those schools, they're bigger and stronger and faster. You get used to play at that tempo and that speed. The game is faster. You speed up your game and your intensity. It's great to play schools that are a little bit better than you are. The only problem is injury. We had two guys get hurt in the Oklahoma game. Two starters got hurt, one captain [Adrian James] and our running back [Nathan Jeffery]. That wasn't good."
(On the defense allowing big plays)
(On jumping out to a 27-0 lead against NMSU)
(On the running game flourishing without Nathan Jeffery)
(On what he has seen from his team)
(On Wisconsin)
"This game will be a big challenge for us. We've watched all of their tapes from last year. We'll have to be smart in what we do. We'd like to get our guys 20 pounds heavier and get them to bench press 100 pounds more this week."

Éric Briones: Why Generation Y Is Hot And Cold Towards Luxury
Is the Gen Y relationship with high end merchandise sustainable?
Mathieu Lebreton, pioneer of the Ykone french fashion blogosphere, brings a libertarian point of view on luxury: 'When it comes to the thin boundaries between fashion brands and luxury ones, some brands are not perceived as being pure-player luxury brands. However I deeply believe they should be treated as such, such as the Nike brand. Nike is a luxury brand. It has always been about innovation. I bought a Nike+ bracelet that I personally consider as a luxury product, though it is a mass-manufactured item available at any Apple stores. Undoubtedly Nike has succeeded in creating a need that has never existed before, without compromising on appeal and simplicity. The result, or call it evidence if you prefer, is that today we couldn't live without it.'
The above quotation is from Éric Brione and Grégory Casper's new book, "Generation Y and Luxury," Read the excerpt below for a glimpse into Brione's predictions for Millennials' relationships with high-end products and services.
"Generation Y and Luxury" brings good news for luxury but also foresees the future, just like the key sentence of Generation Y's favorite show "Game of Thrones:" "Winter is coming!"
Good news: wherever they are in the world, Generation Yers are passionate about luxury products. They are prepared to sacrify a lot to own luxury goods without feeling guilty, as for them the luxury item is a success symbol, the best way to stand out and a transmission guarantee for their future kids. Moreover, the Yers are astonishingly cultured in the matter and are in perfect control of the luxury codes. In fact, they are the first Luxury Geeks.
Bad News: the Yers are cautious with the word "luxury," as marketing has been overused within the luxury industries, especially since the emergence of Masstige in the 2000s. The Yers do not want to be reeled in by a pseudo luxury offer. They demand "value for money" from the luxury brands, transparency, and rarity. They also expect them to follow moral requirements.
Generation Y considers the luxury purchase the perfect one, in the sense that this purchase represents an economical investment and carries a real sustainable development value. Indeed, the Yers do not trust politicians to save the world. They would rather act directly for the planet's good with their credit cards.
Generation Y is showing us the features of this new luxury: pluralist, more experience oriented, more ecological and social and more innovation centered. The Yers have no limits; they are not contented with only expressing a wish for a new type of luxury, they go as far as shaping one thanks to the several start-ups paving the way for this new Y Luxury.
All this and much more to be discovered in the book "Generation Y and Luxury."
Éric "Darkplanneur" Briones is the Director of Strategic Planning at Publicis EtNous.

Former Knicks POWER Foward Charles Oakley is trying to get a new career. Normally former ballplayers do broadcasting or get restaurants or front office jobs.
Not Charles though, he is going to pursue a job on a cooking show. Now if he cooks as well as he boxes out, expect to see eggs and bacon all over the wall. Better watch out Emeril.
Oakley is executive producing and starring as the cook on a TV show he's trying to pitch called "Café Oakley," and last night's screening featured three episodes (one of which guest starred John Starks).Oakley cooked Oak's Fried Chicken and Macaroni Salad in the first episode, followed by Oak's Pasta, Sauce and Sausages in the second, and Oak's Smothered Steak and Rice in the third. "Hopefully we'll get some calls about it," Oakley said. "I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10."
Thanks to Skeets over at Yahoo, we have a delicious Charles Oakley recipe:
Charles Oakley's Beef Short Ribs in Cinnamon Red Wine Sauce
* 6 large beef short ribs, bone in
* 1/4 cup canola oil
* 18 beers
* 1 large onion, finely chopped, no tears
* 1 tbsp. chopped garlic
* 1 cup ground fresh tomatoes
* 1/2 cup red wine
* 2 or 3 Cuban cigars
* 4 cups chicken stock
* 1 tbsp. cumin seeds
* 1 x whole piece cinnamon bark (approximately 3-inches long)
* 1 tbsp. cumin
* 1/2 tsp. turmeric
* 1/2 tsp. red cayenne pepper
* 1 heaping tbsp. Mexican chilli powder
1. Drink 10 beers.
2. In a large, heavy saucepan, add the cooking oil and the cumin to high heat. Let the seeds sizzle, then add the cinnamon and onions. Sauté until the onions are intimidating.
3. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until your done smoking a nice fat stogie.
4. Lower the heat and add the tomatoes and all of the remaining spices. Just chuck it all in there. Bang the cupboards.
5. Once you stir the powdered spices in the tomatoes, increase the heat back to medium. Stir regularly — with your bare hand, very important! — and continue cooking the spices until the oil separates from the tomatoes. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes. 7 minutes if you yell and belittle the oil.
6. Slam 3 beers.
7. Stir in the stock and red wine and bring to a boil. Probably a god time for another smoke. Maybe a game of poker, too.
8. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes and/or until you hear Tyrone Hill screaming from the basement.
9. Add the short ribs and stir well. (Note: If you're short on time, skip steps 1-thru-8 and just eat the ribs raw.)
10. Bring back to a boil.
11. Chug 5 beers, work up an appetite.
12. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer the short ribs until the meat completely separates from the bone. This will take approximately 4 hours, so order some pizza and hookers with Jordan's credit card.
13. Serve, charge dinner guests for your troubles.

Hi guys,
This is an event that's rising here in Puerto Rico. Lots of great and fast cars. The competition is not the fastest time but the more mph you can make. The fastest one was an Alpha 10 GTR that made 179.9 mph, there are 3 Alpha 10's and the Green Lambo is tuned with a TT Heffner Kit. There also was an old black porsche 930 that made 170 mph. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Take Me Home Lyrics
Artist: Roger Daltrey
Album: Can't Wait to See the Movie
By Eli/Axel Bauer/Roger Daltrey/Nigel Hinton
© 1987 Chappel Music, Inc.,ASCAP
Forty days of living hell
Force nine gale, broken sail
What a story I could tell
Forty days of ocean roar
Now two nights to kill on shore
Stars fall, girls call, take me home
Walking through this empty town
Cuts me up and brings me down
I'm shipwrecked on my own
Passing cars striptease bars
And I'm drinking all alone
Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home
But this machine inside my head
Remembers every word she said
But this machine inside my head
Is telling me this dream is dead
And leaves me drifting high and dry
Read light beauty calls me in
Smoky haze, shifty gaze
And the dead night smells of gin
As rage and emptiness collide
Just feel a burning deep inside
Waves growl, winds howl, take me home
Someone please now rescue me
From the chains of the sea
I'm drifting endlessly
Someone please set me free
I'm sinking helplessly

You see it happen every year. A person considered a "stud" in fantasy football gets drafted high, only to disappoint. Some of the biggest names in football have suffered through it. Superstars like Randy Moss, Matt Forte, DeSean Jackson, Terrell Owens, and Steve Slaton have all suffered that fate (and that was just in the last 5 years). You can now add Chris Johnson to that list. Johnson was a top 6 pick last year in most leagues and had his worst season in the NFL. The Tennessee Titan finds himself near the top of the rankings once again this year and I will give you the information to help you decide if he should be there or not.
Johnson held out at the beginning of last season and missed training camp before signing his 6 year $55 million contract. When he did make it in, it looked like he was not motivated and had lost some speed. It also seemed that he was not decisive enough on the field and couldn't make defenders miss the way he used to. His rushing totals were the worst in his career across the board. Johnson had 1,047 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns for the 31st ranked rushing team. That was an average of only 4.00 yards per carry and 65 yards per game, his career averages coming in were 4.97 ypc and almost 98 ypg. He did set a career high in receptions with 57 but did not find the end zone once.
Head Coach Mike Munchak has added several players on offense to help make Johnson's life easier. Free agent signee guard Steve Hutchinson brings a fierce attitude and leadership to an offensive line that desperately needs it. In the NFL draft the Titans added Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright to bolster the speed and explosiveness to the offense. The new Tennessee offense will be a run-and-shoot spread formation that will help utilize all the speed on offense and help get the playmakers in open space. That is where Chris Johnson excels. The East Carolina product raised many eyebrows at the NFL combine in 2008 by running a 4.24 40. The Titans drafted him and used a time-share backfield with LenDale White his first year. His second year he was turned loose and he ran for 2,006 yards and a total of 16 touchdowns. His 2,509 total yards also set an NFL record. Johnson re-dedicated himself during the off-season and added about 8 pounds of muscle to make it more difficult to tackle. Chris also stated that he thinks he could beat Olympic Gold Medal winner Usain Bolt in a race. Sounds like his attitude and desire to be the first running back to rush for 2,000 yards is back. Munchak has stated that Johnson looks quick and was making decisive moves and has some speed around the edge.
The stench of uncertainty is around the running backs in all fantasy leagues this year after the top 3 of Foster, Rice, and McCoy are gone. You have several backs coming back from injury like Peterson, Charles, Murray, McFadden, and Mendenhall. The dreaded time-share ruin the possiblities of F Jax, Forte, & Gore. New injuries knock Mathews and Richardson down while old age send S Jax and Turner down. The hold-out of Maurice Jones-Drew and forth-coming suspension of Marshawn Lynch send them down the ranks. Chris Johnson more or less is one of the only ones not on the list still standing. He is one of only a few who you know is the starter and get +250 carries and can stay in on 3rd down.
The run-and-shoot spread offense has led to many great seasons for running backs and Johnson has the speed to be a real threat again this season. With all the playmakers now available on offense, defenses will not be able to stack the box against Johnson the way the used to. The Tennessee Titans have not made the playoffs since 2008 and that really bothers Johnson. He seems to be taking on more of a leader role for this team, and that can only be a good thing. Our own Brian Murphy wrote that he expects a rebound type of year for Johnson similar to Johnson's 2010 year - more than 1,600 total yards and 12 touchdowns. Those are the type of numbers that make Johnson worthy of a top pick. Both FFToolbox.com and MyFantasyLeague.com have Johnson as a top 7 pick and the #4 running back and I agree with those numbers.

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > Study Examines Causes of Healthy Economic Growth
CAMBRIDGE, MA – Significant increases in national economic growth rates are more frequent than is commonly thought, but also highly unpredictable. That's the conclusion reached by a group of researchers at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Their study suggests that extensive institutional and policy reforms are not necessary to stimulate economic growth in the early stages of development. Even minor policy changes can trigger rapid growth over the better part of a decade.
The researchers examined 83 cases of economic growth spurts between 1957 and 1992. Cases were limited to those where a nation's annual GNP per capita growth increased by at least two percentage points, and where the post-spurt growth rate averaged at least three-and-a-half percent for eight consecutive years or more.
The analysis indicates that such medium-term growth accelerations are not infrequent, nor tied to any specific formula. Indeed most cases are not preceded by major changes in economic policies, institutional arrangements, political circumstances, or external conditions.
The study finds that only 15 percent of growth accelerations are associated with major economic liberalization – such as opening up markets or introducing significant structural reforms – which implies that 85 percent of such accelerations take place in the absence of major liberalization. And fewer than one in five episodes of economic liberalization are followed by growth take-offs. Similarly, while more than half of growth accelerations are preceded by political-regime changes, only a tiny proportion of political-regime changes (14%) are followed by growth accelerations.
"Our research tells us several things," said report co-author Dani Rodrik, Rafiq Hariri professor of international political economy. "It tells us that cataclysmic policy reforms are not necessary to get an economy moving in the right direction. Even little things, like sending pro-business signals or removing small obstacles to private investment, can help produce positive growth for eight years or longer. However, the study also tells us that the formula for producing longer-term economic growth remains unclear."
The report was co-authored by Ricardo Hausmann, professor of the practice of economic development; and Lant Pritchett, former lecturer in public policy.

Corporate "creep": an institutional view of consultancies in a nonprofit organisation
Irvine, Helen J. (2007) Corporate "creep": an institutional view of consultancies in a nonprofit organisation. Australian Accounting Review, 17(1), pp. 13-25.
|PDF (118kB)
Professional consultants play a role in mobilising the "creep" of corporate practices from the for-profit sector, through the public sector and into the nonprofit sector. As well as legitimising these practices, consultancies illustrate the power of professional groups to institute change across sectors. In spite of this, the proliferation of consultancies is under-researched, particularly in the increasingly sophisticated nonprofit sector. In one year, one religious/charitable organisation (RCO) commissioned no fewer than five consultancies. This study provides insights about the process by which the consultancies were commissioned, conducted and adopted as RCO grappled with the applicability of corporate practices and its capability of implementing them. It also highlights issues of interest to other nonprofits as they assess their need to employ consultants and the potential impact of adopting recommended practices.

Welcome to White Rabbit Japan!
Level 3 of the popular Japanese Graded Readers series is suitable for students taking JLPT level N3~N4. It includes 35 stories with a set number of vocabulary, and is accompanied by an audio CD featuring native Japanese speakers (samples below). This product is actullay a boxed-set of 5 booklets (each about 30 pages) which comprise 7 stories. The included CD audio companion includes the full-text read by Japanese native speakers. Japanese Graded Readers Level 3 - Volume 1 is designed for a proficiency level equivalent to Japanese Langauge Proficiency Test Level N4. The set of stories utilizes a vocabulary of about 800 words. (The stories range in length from about 2,500 to 5,000 words.) The grammar points include: kanou-kei, meirei-kei, ukemi-kei, ikou-kei, ~toki, ~tara, ~ba, ~nara, ~sou, ~you, fukugou doushi, etc. As you can see from the two page images below, the stories are beautifully illustrated, and furigana (small kana written above kanji to show the pronunciation) are included on all the kanji.
Japanese Graded Readers (JGR's) are written in easy and controlled language for foreign or second language learners of Japanese. They are graded according to the size of vocabulary, complexity of grammar structures and the total number of words used in each book. They are designed to cater to all levels from beginners to advanced students.
For most language learners, reading Japanese books has been a daunting task. There are many unknown words, kanji and expressions beyond their level or understanding. JGR's have changed all that so now students can enjoy reading without having to constantly stop and look up unknown kanji, words or phrases in the dictionary. Research has also shown that students who read in Japanese improve their Japanese in other area of the language at a faster rate than students who don't read.
We encourage you not to reach for a dictionary while reading Japanese Graded Readers. Try to skip words and phrases that you don't understand and simply keep on reading. Their meanings will become apparent eventually from the context and illustrations. Finally, if the going gets tough, simply stop reading and try a different one. Don't try too hard to finish! If you do, you might begin to hate reading in Japanese.
There is one audio track which did not fit on the included CD. You can download it from our Free Downloads section. Audio Sample

In early May, Blough dazzled at the Elite 11 tryout camp in Chicago, proving he is one of the nation's best quarterback prospects. Dilfer, the former NFL quarterback and current television analyst helps run the Elite 11 camp. He enlisted the help of a good friend to make Blough's camp invitation memorable.
Dilfer saw similarities between Blough and Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Both are from Texas, saw little action in their recruitments and have parallels in their games. That's just the beginning of it.
Just two days later, Blough received his first scholarship offer. It came from Purdue, the same school which took a shot on another under-recruited Texas quarterback. Then, it began to hit Blough—the Brees coincidence was significant.
"It means so much," Blough said at the time, asked about the Brees similarities. "He's from Austin and all these Texas schools kind of passed on him. They saw the 6-foot kid in him. These Texas schools passed on him, but Purdue showed faith in him. Drew Brees is the best at his craft and that's somebody I definitely look up to."
Even after Blough won an Elite 11 invitation—cementing his spot as one of the best—only Memphis joined his list of offers. Blough's name remained a secret to most, but the Purdue coaches desperately wanted him.
It seemed too perfect, and even Blough recognized that. He was ready to commit on the spot, but held off until he could visit campus for the first time. Still, Purdue was on his mind for the five weeks which seemed to last an eternity. It was hard to resist.
This past weekend, Blough traveled to West Lafayette with his mother, LuAnn. With the care they received, both immediately felt comfortable with Purdue. For David, that proved the one thing he was wondering: is Purdue a place he felt happy at? He quickly learned the answer is yes.
"They're going to take care of me and it'll be a home away from home," Blough said.
While on campus, Blough learned of the Purdue "Cradle of Quarterbacks" tradition, which includes names like Brees, Bob Griese, Gary Danielson and Kyle Orton. It was something he felt compelled to join.
"They did it through hard work and leadership, and there's not a better example to follow," said Blough. "Those guys were in our shoes, and they made it. That's how all of us want to be."
Blough participated in Purdue's Elite Camp on Friday night, then spent all of Saturday touring campus and meeting the team. By the time he sat down in Darrell Hazell's office on Saturday afternoon, there were no doubts.
Hazell sat down at his desk, dressed in his usual game vest-jacket after coaching a youth camp. Blough had a surprise for the first-year head coach.
More than 48 hours later, Blough still remembers the exact words he spoke to give his verbal commitment. He said: "Coach Hazell, I like the jacket. You're going to tell me where the bookstore is so I can have some stuff for Signing Day next year."
Just like that, Blough found his future home and the Boilermakers got the quarterback they believe can be the next Drew Brees. For Blough and Purdue, it seemed like the perfect match.
The incredible story came full circle late Saturday night when Drew Brees publically tweeted his congratulations to Blough, welcoming him to the Cradle of Quarterbacks.
"You hear all the stories and the ways he contributed to Purdue; honestly, it's an honor, just for my favorite quarterback in the NFL to even tweet at me," said Blough. "I wonder if those guys realize they're making a kid's day as well as congratulating them. I hope one day that I can be on that stage."
It was just the happy ending to a unique story.

Baker water rates
Related Story
BAKER - City leaders moved forward with discussions about raising sewage and water rates to ease a more than $800,000 budget shortfall.
Tuesday night, Baker council members introduced a measure that would increase the rates between $8 and $10 per household each month.
"We really don't have a choice," Mayor Harold Rideau said.
"Whatever it takes to make the city run proficiently is what we must do," Councilwoman Joyce Burgess said.
At the meeting, there was a heated exchange when Baker residents told the council they don't want the increases.
"We're at a fixed income, but everything else keeps rising. Now, you want to raise the water, raise the sewage. We don't have that money," a woman at the meeting told members.
If the deficit is not fixed, Police Chief Mike Knapps believes cuts will start with his department and other municipal agencies.
"Without these increases, this city is going to be in trouble down the road," Knapps said.
The council will vote on the increase at next month's meeting.
The rate hikes could help fill the gap, but it won't cover the entire hole. The town will still be short $200,000 and will still be searching for money.
"We're going to have to trim the lean off. We've done cut the fat. But we're going to have to trim the lean off," Rideau said.

BALTIMORE - Jake Hagelin made a season-high 15 saves, and the Loyola University Maryland defense put together another outstanding effort, as the 14th-ranked Greyhounds defeated Towson University, 7-6, on Saturday afternoon in non-conference action on Awalt Field at Ridley Athletic Complex.
Hagelin's final save, which left him one short of his career-high set in 2008 as a freshman, came with time expiring as Towson's Matt Lamon rocketed a shot that would have tied the game.
"Our defense did a good job of letting me see the ball today," Hagelin said. "They made Towson work for a lot of their shots, and they gave me a good lane to see things."
Loyola (5-2 overall) took a 7-3 lead on a broken play with 10:41 to play in the fourth quarter.
Taylor Ebsary cleared the ball for the Greyhounds and took a transition shot that was saved by Towson goalkeeper Travis Love.
The ball squirted out of the crease, however, and Collin Finnerty picked up the ground ball. He then finished with a low shot, beating Love for his game-high third goal.
Towson (1-5) mounted a comeback, however, scoring three times in the final 4:01.
Lamon scored on a Will Harrington assist to make it 7-5 in Loyola's favor, and Christian Pastirik delivered a goal 19 seconds later despite a solid hit from the Loyola defense.
Pat Britton then scored with 56 seconds remaining, drawing the Tigers within one.
The Tigers won the ensuing faceoff, but Michael Crimmins caused a turnover that Scott Ratliff picked up. After a failed Loyola clear, Towson had another possession in their offensive zone, but the Greyhounds forced a second turnover. Again, however, Loyola lost the ball in its end of the field, leading to Lamon's last second shot.
"The first thing I told the team was that you never take a win for granted," Loyola Head Coach Charley Toomey said. "But, there are a lot of things that we have to correct. We made too many mistakes today, and we cannot do that going forward."
Loyola finished the game with 19 turnovers, but eight came in the final quarter. The Greyhounds did, however, have a 36-28 advantage in ground balls and a 9-15 lead in faceoffs.
Finnerty scored the game's opening goal, on an extra-man opportunity, less than five minutes in.
Eric Lusby gave Loyola a 2-0 advantage with less than three minutes to go in the quarter, and Cooper MacDonnell took a Matt Langan pass and dodged his defender to score Loyola's third in a row 1:48 into the second quarter.
Lamon put Towson on the board with 8:30 to play in the quarter, but Finnerty answered with a goal for Loyola 40 seconds later.
Towson cut Loyola's halftime lead to 4-2 when Will Harrington scored 4:33 before the break.
The Tigers pulled to within a goal with 2:33 left in the third on a Brock Armour goal.
Loyola, however, went on a 3-0 run as Stephen Murray and Cooper MacDonnell scored goals' before Finnerty's third.
The Greyhounds wrap-up a four-game homestand on Saturday, April 3, when they host Ohio State in an ECAC Lacrosse League game at 2 p.m.

The peony is a famous flower that grows naturally around the Mediterranean Basin. Long before it became famous as an ornamental plant, as far back as Antiquity, the peony was a renowned medicinal plant. Every spring, it offers a dazzling carnival of colors and scents. This flower with a thousand petals inspired the new fragrance and makeup collection from L'OCCITANE.
To understand the fragrant secrets of this flower, L'OCCITANE established an exclusive partnership with a nurseryman, Jean-Luc Rivière – a man with a passion for peonies, whose family has been devoted to breeding and cultivating them for 160 years in the Drôme region of France. Following Mr Rivière's advice, L'OCCITANE developed a natural extract of peony root, which perfumes all peony products.
"We've fallen in love with the peony in all its incarnations"
- Jean-Luc Rivière, nurseryman in the Drôme region
• The peony reveals its beauty to whom deserves it... 5 to 7 years can pass in a nursery from the time of planting to the blossoming of the first flower, !
• 60 flowers can blossom from a single peony. The most generous flowers can have a 30 cm diameter !
Green Floral
"The generous floral perfume of a peony blooming in the green freshness of a nursery, on a spring morning."
This Eau de Toilette captures the subtle aura of the peony flower at the height of its bloom, when its petals reveal rich floral notes with hints of green freshness. The feminine bottle evokes the delicate roundness of a peony as it comes into bloom.
Makeup range
The peony's extraordinary palette of colors (more than 700 varieties) inspired a spring makeup range full of fresh and natural colors. Each shade is named after the peony variety it reflects; Mine d'Or (Goldmine), Nuage Rouge (Red Cloud) and Feu d'Artifice (Firework). 19 peonies for 19 products with delightful formulas bring a healthy glow to one's cheeks and glide on the skin.
