Oculus Book Talk: Phyllis Lambert, Building Seagram
AIA CES: 1.5 LUs
When: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM MONDAY, ARCHTOBER 28
Where: At The Center
Phyllis Lambert, Hon. FAIA, will present her new book Building Seagram, published by Yale University Press. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with Barry Bergdoll, Professor of architectural history in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, and former Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art.
The Seagram building rises over New York's Park Avenue, seeming to float above the street with perfect lines of bronze and glass. Considered one of the greatest icons of twentieth-century architecture, the building was commissioned by Samuel Bronfman, founder of the Canadian distillery dynasty Seagram. Bronfman's daughter Phyllis Lambert was twenty-seven years old when she took over the search for an architect and chose Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), a pioneering modern master of what he termed "skin and bones" architecture. Mies, who designed the elegant, deceptively simple thirty-eight-story tower along with Philip Johnson (1906–2005), emphasized the beauty of structure and fine materials, and set the building back from the avenue, creating an urban oasis with the building's plaza. Through her choice, Lambert established her role as a leading architectural patron and singlehandedly changed the face of American urban architecture. Building Seagram is a comprehensive personal and scholarly history of a major building and its architectural, cultural, and urban legacies. Lambert makes use of previously unpublished personal archives, company correspondence, and photographs to tell an insider's view of the debates, resolutions, and unknown dramas of the building's construction, as well as its crucial role in the history of modern art and architectural culture.
Phyllis Lambert is founding director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. A licensed architect, she has contributed essays to numerous books and is the subject of the 2007 documentary film Citizen Lambert: Joan of Architecture. Barry Bergdoll is professor of architectural history in the department of art history and archaeology at Columbia University and the Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Following the controversy over the exorbitant salaries paid to Bell city officials, Controller Wendy Greuel said Monday she is working to post Los Angeles city employee salaries on the Internet.
In a letter to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the City Council, Greuel said she is using her authority as Controller to work with the Information Technology Agency to create an online searchable web page to post the salaries.
"As the City Controller, I am responsible for the city's payroll," Greuel said. "During these tough economic times, I take my responsibility as the city's chief financial watchdog very seriously."
Greuel said the public interest in the Bell salary scandal was prompting her to take steps to insure openness in the city's salary system.
"At the end of the day, we all work for the citizens of Los Angeles and it is their right to know how their tax dollars are being spent," Greuel said.
The salaries of city council members and county board supervisors are tied to the pay of Superior Court judges through a voter-approved measure.
The authorized pay for City Council members is $178,789 a year, but different council members have taken pay cuts in solidarity with other city workers, who have had their pay reduced.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's authorized pay is $231,535, but he has taken a 16 percent cut for the past two years.
Greuel's salary is set at $195,914, but she has taken a 7 percent pay cut from that.

Just days ago I had a partial syringe of Restylane injected in to my upper lip, mostly to correct an asymmetry. The healing process went beautifully and by day 2 there was almost no swelling. It is day 4 and I can barely notice a difference. Is it possible to have the injector add more during my two week check up? Is this something that is normally charged again?
Restylane Touch Ups After Lip Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 14
Restylane touch ups after lip augmentation
It is ok to have a touch up after 2 weeks has passed, as most of the swelling from your initial treatment will be resolved. I would not recommend having a touch up any sooner than this. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Restylane for lip
Lip injection with restylane can give nice results.If you feel that you need more, then give it about two weeks before having more done so that you can appreciate the appearance after swelling has gone down.
Restylane and Lip augmentation
I would wait at least 2 weeks for any touch up to lips due to swelling. Some places do charge a injection fee and call your injector to see if they do.

Restylane and touch up's
It's ok to have touch up's to any Restylane treatment and waiting the 2 weeks is a good plan, to allow time for swelling to subside and see the results.
Restylane Touch Up
It is possible to have the injector add more when you follow up in 2 weeks. A partial syringe being .5CC's you most likely will need another .5CC's to get the results you are looking for. It is always best to start with a conservative amount and add additional in a follow up visit. Talk with your injector regarding charging you again. If you were charged for 1CC and they only used half the first visit then you shouldn't be charged again.
Restylane Touch Ups After Lip Augmentation?
Restylane can be reinjected. You should wait at least 2 weeks before another injection. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Restylane touch-up
Yes, it is possible for you to have more Restylane injected. If your injector charged you for a full syringe but only used part of it, he will probably not charge you for the touch-up.
Touch-up question
Since you only used a partial syringe, you should still have some product available for any touch-up that you might need. This is not uncommon as swelling from the trauma of a needle stick to the lips goes down.
Restylane for lips
Absolutely. That is the great thing about injectable fillers. At your follow up, additional product such as Restylane or Juvederm can be injected to increase the volume or to help achieve better symmetry.
Restylane touch-ups
I'm unsure why you had a "partial syringe". Did you in fact have only a portion of it injected, paid for the entire syringe, and your injector intended for you to come back for the remainder? If that is what you mean, and you've already paid for the syringe, I would think there's not a charge for getting the remainder that you already paid for. If, however, and I pray this isn't true, your injector splits up syringes and uses partials syringes on people, that is extremely dangerous. There are times when I inject a portion of a syringe and have the patient return in 2-3 weeks for the remainder of it, but it is extremely important to know how your injector keeps track of these syringes, how they are labeled and stored, etc. My patients pay for the entire syringe at the first session and then come back for a remainder that may be left. I would say I do this less than 5% of time, though, as usually it's best to just have a patient get the full amount of the syringe at one time.

Zotac ION-ITX Atom Mini-ITX Board Unboxing and SalivatingMay 04, 2009
Zotac have hit the ground running with their recent entries into the Mini-ITX world, and have now built what could be the perfect Media PC motherboard with their new range of nVidia ION powered products. We'll be reviewing this one shortly, but in the meantime here are some unboxing photos as we're rather excited about it all. Click to biggify.
The review board we received was the ION-ITX-A, which is a dual core Atom N330 powered unit with NVidia ION chipset. The biggest difference we expect to see versus a standard Atom is the graphics, which are Geforce 9400M powered supporting PureVideo HD, PhysX, DirectX 10 and CUDA H264 acceleration...
..which means 1080p HD playback from an embedded Mini-ITX board with a fanless 1.6GHz processor whilst consuming 21W.
The ION-ITX-A has its own DC converter onboard, and is supplied with a 90W AC Adapter. This makes it the ideal companion to the M350 Universal Mini-ITX Cases which just arrived at the store. But more about that later.
There's also a more traditional ION-ITX-B which is a fanless 1.6GHz single core N230 with everything the A has bar the Wi-Fi and DC converter. We expect we'll see C and D versions too, but not just yet.
Brief specification: nVidia ION Chipset; Single

By Patrick DiCaprio, FantasyPros911.com
When it comes to early-season closer battles, there are a few simple ways to make decisions. One is to figure out who has the best skills by doing a full analysis of each candidate. There is nothing wrong with this in theory, but it ignores the uniqueness of the closer's job.
In many cases, the save rule is the determining factor in how managers choose to use their closers. Think about that for a second. Not only are managers maximizing a statistic, they are virtually guaranteeing that the pitcher they choose will be able to accrue that statistic
No matter how skilled a pitcher is, if he comes in to start the ninth inning with a three-run lead, he will convert that save opportunity more than 90% of the time. You cannot purposely "choose" where to play an outfielder to maximize his home runs. But managerial decision-making can propel a closer to saves glory.
So, rather than doing a full-on analysis of the two or three closer candidates on any team, we use a simple algorithm to make a decision. Research has shown that simple algorithms are far better at predicting outcomes than even the best experts in any field. Fantasy baseball and picking closers should be no different. So here's our simple test:
These are only rough guides, so feel free to offer input if you think they are too low or high. But the idea here stems from the simple premise that a minimally qualified pitcher with the job is likely to hold it, even if a better-skilled pitcher exists. If the answer is yes to all of these questions then we will in every case prefer the current candidate to the challenger.
Let's apply this to the two main candidates in Los Angeles, Kenley Jansen and Javy Guerra. It is clear Guerra has the job for now, but is he minimally qualified? We will use 2011 stats:
Here we have an example of where fantasy owners can justify speculating on Jansen since Guerra does not fit our minimum criteria. However, Guerra was a rookie last year. So if we look at his numbers at the end of May we might have a very different situation. (And he already is off to a very strong start -- 0.00 ERA, one win, five saves.)
What is our goal here? It is to ignore the more difficult evaluative factors that can lead our minds astray and focus with precision on a series of simple yes/no questions that are likely to perform well in the long run. Our Official Closer Identifier Algorithm (CIA) says, for now, that Guerra is not minimally qualified.

Please sub with strikeout and do not resend to web, thanks. Microsoft has announced an internet-friendly makeover of its Windows Phone operating system to help capture new territory in the smartphone wars.
Microsoft chief
"We need to give people the full web, the full internet on their phone, like they've come to expect with the PC," Mr Ballmer said at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "Later this year we are going to release a version of Internet Explorer 9, complete with hardware and graphics and other hardware acceleration for the Windows Phone. The web in some senses was designed for the PC first – we need to make it a first-class citizen on the phone."
Together with a free update for Windows Phone 7, released four months ago, Microsoft aims to provide a web experience on smartphones that rivals surfing on a PC.
Mr Ballmer said the partnership with Nokia would help accelerate its adoption. "Nokia's involvement with Windows Phone will drive volume, innovation of new products and accelerate adoption of the Windows Phone platform."
More than 1.5 million smartphones running on the latest version of Windows Phone, WP7, were shipped in the six weeks after the launch in October, but Microsoft's share of the market was only 3 per cent at year-end.
"As Windows Phone evolves we are going to work with our partners to bring into the platform their best innovations," the Microsoft chief said.

My dog bites me. A lot. Scooter, the ten-pound Pomeranian we adopted from the shelter after he failed his behavior assessment for serious resource guarding, has bitten me more times than I can count. Most of the time I don't even feel his teeth. He has never broken skin, and the few times I have felt pressure it's been because I've persisted in what I was doing despite his clear request to stop. Scooter has excellent bite inhibition.
In the dog training world, bite inhibition is defined as a dog's ability to control the pressure of his mouth when biting, to cause little or no damage to the subject of the bite. We know that all dogs have the potential to bite, given the wrong set of circumstances. Some dogs readily bite with little apparent provocation, but even the most saintly dog, in pain, or under great stress, can be induced to bite. When a bite happens, whether frequently or rarely, bite inhibition makes the difference between a moment of stunned silence versus a trip to the nearest emergency room for the victim, and perhaps the euthanasia room, for the dog.
A bite is at the far end of a long line of behaviors a dog uses to communicate to dogs, humans, and other species. The biting dog often starts with body tension, hard eye contact, a freeze, pulling forward of the commissure (corners of the lips), and escalates to a growl, snarl (showing teeth), offensive barking, an air-snap (not making contact) and only finally an actual bite, to stop what he perceives to be an inappropriate or threatening behavior on behalf of the bitee. The dog who does any or all of these things is saying, "Please don't make me hurt you!"
Some foolish humans punish their dogs for these important canine communications. "Bad dog, how dare you growl at my child!" Punishing warning signals can suppress them the dog learns it's not safe to let you know he's not comfortable with what you're doing and then bites can happen without warning. (See The Gift of Growling, October 2005)
Others ignore the signals and proceed anyway with whatever was making the dog uncomfortable. This is also foolish, and can prompt the dog to express his feelings more strongly, with a less inhibited bite that might break skin and do serious damage.
The wise dog owner recognizes the early signals, and takes steps to reduce or remove the stimulus that is causing the dog to be tense, to avoid having her dog escalate to a bite. She then manages the environment to prevent the dog from constant exposure to the stressful stimulus, and modifies her dog's behavior to help him become comfortable with it. Sometimes, however, even the best efforts of the wisest dog owners can't always prevent a bite from happening. If and when it does, one hopes and prays for good bite inhibition.
Installing Bite Inhibition
In the best of all worlds, puppies initially learn bite inhibition while still with their mom and littermates, through negative punishment: the pup's behavior makes a good thing go away. If a
pup bites too hard while nursing, the milk bar is likely to get up and leave. Pups learn to use their teeth softly, if at all, if they want the good stuff to keep coming. As pups begin to play with each other, negative punishment also plays a role in bite inhibition. Bite your playmate too hard, and he might pack up his toys and go away.
For these reasons, orphan and singleton pups, as well as those removed from their litters too early, are more likely to have a "hard bite" (lack of bite inhibition) than are pups who have appropriate interactions for 7-8 weeks with their mom and siblings. Not only have they missed out on important opportunities to learn the consequences of biting too hard, but singletons especially may have less "tolerance for frustration" since they didn't have to compete with littermates for resources and may be quicker to anger and to bite (without bite inhibition) if you thwart their desires.
Your dog may never bite you in anger, but if he doesn't have good bite inhibition you're still likely to feel a hard bite when your dog takes treats from your fingers and removes skin as well as the tasty tidbit. Even a pup raised with his litter can come with a hard mouth, probably because he had a genetic propensity to find hard biting (and the consequences thereof) to be reinforcing, and has had opportunity to practice and be reinforced for biting hard.
If you find yourself with a puppy who, for whatever reason, tends to bite down harder than he should with those nasty-sharp puppy teeth, you can't start soon enough convincing him that self-restraint is a desirable quality when it comes to putting canine teeth on human skin and clothes. Ideally, you want to teach your pup not to exert pressure when mouthing by the time he's five months old, just as his adult canine teeth are coming in, and before he develops adult-dog jaw strength. Here's how:
The Four R's of Teaching Puppy Bite Inhibition
Remove: When your puppy bites hard enough to cause you pain, say "Ouch" in a calm voice, gently remove your body part from his mouth, and take your attention away from him for two to five seconds. You're using negative punishment just like the pup's mom and littermates. If he continues to jump and grab at you when you remove your attention, put yourself on the other side of a baby gate or exercise pen. When he is calm, re-engage with him.
Repeat: Puppies (and adult dogs, and humans) learn through repetition. It will take time and many repetitions of Step #1 above, for your pup to learn to voluntarily control the pressure of his bite. Puppies do have a very strong need to bite and chew, so at first you'll "Ouch and Remove" only if he bites down hard enough to hurt you. Softer bites are acceptable for now. If you try to stop all puppy biting at once, both of you will become frustrated. This is a shaping process (See "The Shape of Things to Come", March 2006). You are just looking for a small decrease in the pressure of his teeth at first. When he is voluntarily inhibiting his bite a little enough that it's not hurting you, you can then start doing your "Ouch and Remove" for slightly softer bites, until you have eventually shaped him not to bite at all. By the time he's eight months old he should have learned not to put his mouth on humans, unless you decide to teach him to mouth gently on cue.
Reinforce: Like all dogs (and humans), your pup wants good stuff to stick around. When he discovers that biting hard makes you (good stuff) go away, he will decrease the pressure of his bite, and eventually stop biting hard. This works especially well if you remember
to reinforce him with your attention when he bites less-hard. It works even better if you use a reward marker when he's using appropriate mouth pressure. Given that my hands are probably full of puppy at that particular moment, I'd use a verbal marker followed by praise to let him know he's doing well. "Yes!" makes the soft-mouth moment, followed by "Good puppy!" praise to let him know he's wonderful.
Redirect: You probably are well aware that there are times when your pup is calmer and softer, and times when he's more aroused and more likely to bite hard. It's always a good idea to have soft toys handy to occupy your pup's teeth when he's in a persistent biting mood. If you know even before he makes contact with you that he's in high-energy hard-bite mode arm yourself with a few soft toys and offer them before your hand is puppy-punctured. If he's already made contact, or you're working on repetitions of Step #1, reinforce appropriate softer bites occasionally with a favorite squeaky toy play moment. If there are children in the home with a mouthy puppy, it's imperative that you arm them with soft toys and have toys easily available in every room of the house, so they can protect themselves by redirecting puppy teeth rather than running away and screaming a game that most bitey pups find highly reinforcing.
It is possible to suppress a puppy's hard biting by punishing him when he bites too hard. That might even seem like a quicker, easier way to get him to stop sinking his canine needles into your skin. However, by doing so, you haven't taught him bite inhibition. If and when that moment comes where he really does feel compelled to bite someone, he's likely to revert to his previous behavior and bite hard, rather than offering the inhibited bite you could have taught him.
Teaching Adult Dog Bite Inhibition
Teaching an adult dog to inhibit his bite is far more challenging than teaching a puppy. A dog easily reverts to a well-practiced, long-reinforced behavior in moments of high emotion, even if he's learned to control his mouth pressure in calmer moments. I know this all too well. Our Cardigan Corgi, now six years old, came to us at the age of six months with a wicked hard mouth. Hand-feeding her treats was a painful experience, and I implemented a variation of the "Ouch" procedure. Because she was biting hard for the treat rather than puppy-biting my flesh, I simply said "Ouch," closed my hand tightly around the treat, and waited for her mouth to soften, then fed her the treat. Hard mouth made the treat disappear (negative punishment); soft mouth made the treat happen (positive reinforcement).
She actually got the concept pretty quickly, and within a couple of weeks could thoughtfully and gently take even high value treats without eliciting an "Ouch." She still can take treats gently to this day, except when she's stressed or excited; then she reverts to her previous hard-bite behavior. When that happens, I close the treat in my fist until she remembers to soften her mouth, at which time I open my hand and feed her the treat. So, while our bite inhibition work was useful for routine training and random daily treat delivery, if Lucy ever bites in a moment of stress, arousal, fear and/or anger, I have no illusions that she's going to remember to inhibit her bite. Of course, I do my best to make sure that moment doesn't happen…
Because I have more leeway with Scooter and his excellent bite inhibition, it's tempting to be a little complacent with him. I try not to. One of Scooter's "likely to bite" moments is grooming
time. The poor guy has a horrible undercoat that mats, literally, in minutes. This is a highly undesirable Pomeranian coat characteristic. I could groom my first Pomeranian, Dusty, once a week without worrying about mats. I have to groom Scooter every night.
Of course he hates it it always causes him some discomfort as I work to ease the tangles out without pulling too hard on his skin. We've made progress in the year we've had him I can comb the top half of his body without encountering much resistance, but I can feel him tense up as I approach the more sensitive lower regions. Rather than relying on his good bite inhibition to get us through, I continue to use counter conditioning and desensitization feeding him treats as I groom (or having my husband Paul feed him), or letting him lick me (and activity he enjoys mightily and one I can tolerate in place of his biting) while I comb out the tangles.
Whether you've taken the time to teach your puppy good bite inhibition or had the good fortune to inherit a dog who has it, don't take it for granted. Continue to reinforce soft-mouth behavior for the rest of his life, and don't be tempted to push the envelope of his tolerance just because you can. Even saints have their limits.
Over the years, I've cringed at a variety of puppy-mouthing modification suggestions. Here are some of the things you don't want to do:
Alpha-rolls. Whole Dog Journal readers might think "no alpha-rolls" goes without saying by now, but I still see clients with mouthy puppies who have had their trainers, dog walkers, dog-owning friends or veterinarians tell them to alpha-roll their bitey pups. Don't do it. You are likely to elicit a whole lot more biting truly aggressive biting as your frightened pup tries to defend himself. (See "Biscuits Not Rolls," July, 2006)
Hold his mouth closed. Another classic bad idea. What self-respecting puppy wouldn't struggle and try to bite harder with this inappropriate restraint? All the while, you're giving your pup a bad association with your hands near his face, which isn't going to help with grooming, tooth-brushing, mouth exams, or even petting. Don't do it.
Push your fist down his throat. Seriously. For the same reasons lists in the prior two suggestions, this is a really bad idea. Don't do it.
Push his lip under his canine tooth as he bites so he bites himself. There really is no end to the inappropriate ways people can think up to try to change behavior. This is another one that has a strong possibility of causing your pup to associate hands near his face with pain. Don't do it.
Bite him back. Yep, some folks actually recommend this one. I shouldn't have to say this, but… I will anyway. Don't do it.
Give a high-pitched yelp. This one might surprise you. It's in a different category from all the pain-causing inappropriate suggestions above, and it's often suggested by positive
trainers, some of whom I respect greatly. The theory is that the high-pitched yelp makes you sound like a puppy in pain and communicate to your young dog in a language he understands. The fallacy with this theory is that we think our feeble attempt to speak "puppy" with our human yelp might really communicate the same message as a real puppy yelp like trying to speak a foreign language by mimicking what we think the sounds are, without actually knowing any of the words. C'mon, we all did this as kids. Do we really think we could have made any meaningful communication to an Asian person as we tried to copy the sounds of the Japanese or Chinese language? In my experience, the high-pitched yelp is at least as likely to incite an excited biting puppy to a higher level of arousal (and harder biting) as it is to tell him he bit you too hard and he should soften his mouth. Don't do it. A calm "Ouch" sends a much more consistent, useful and universal message, which is simply, "That behavior makes the good stuff go away."

Found it!
>Trying to retrieve robots.txt file
>Parsing robots.txt file using myname = htdig
>Found 'user-agent' line: htdig
>Found 'disallow' line: /cat/
>Found 'user-agent' line: htdig

>Pattern: /foobar/
The problem is the second User-agent line, which causes the previous
pattern to be cleared. I don't know whether the robots.txt file or the
parsing is incorrect, but one or the other has to change. The code expects
that a line of "User-agent: htdig" will begin a new User-agent section
which will override any previous User-agent sections. If it's correct
form to have multiple User-agent sections for a given User-agent, then
the code is wrong. If the standard requires that all Disallow entries
for one User-agent fall under a single User-agent heading, then the
file above is incorrect.
The old standard was vague on this point, but the examples never showed
more than one User-agent field bearing the same name. It says the robot
"should be liberal in interpreting this field." But it also says, in
regards to the "User-agent: *" record, that it is "not allowed to have
multiple such records".
According to the new draft standard, it would appear that both the file
above and the current code are incorrect - it should only use the FIRST
matching section...
3.2.1 The User-agent line
Name tokens are used to allow robots to identify themselves via a
simple product token. Name tokens should be short and to the
point. The name token a robot chooses for itself should be sent
as part of the HTTP User-agent header, and must be well documented.
These name tokens are used in User-agent lines in /robots.txt to
identify to which specific robots the record applies. The robot
must obey the first record in /robots.txt that contains a User-
Agent line whose value contains the name token of the robot as a
substring. The name comparisons are case-insensitive. If no such
record exists, it should obey the first record with a User-agent
line with a "*" value, if present. If no record satisfied either
condition, or no records are present at all, access is unlimited.
To implement this we should do the following when the name matches:
if (!seen_mynme)
seen_myname = 1;
pay_attention = 1;
pattern = 0;
pay_attention = 0;
If we don't want a rigorous implementation of the draft, which also
defines use of the Allow record, but want instead a more liberal
interpretation, we can leave off the else clause, and it will continue
to accept lines from an adjacent User-agent section. To be even more
liberal, and not even require that the sections be adjacent, we should
always set pay_attention to 1 when the name matches, but only clear the
pattern when the name is first seen.
The docs on http://info.webcrawler.com/mak/projects/robots/robots.html
suggest that the draft specification "is not yet completed or implemented,"
so I don't know how rigorously we'd want to enforce it.

Eastside boys tennis team aims for Class 2A title
Published: Monday, April 14, 2014 at 9:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 14, 2014 at 9:46 p.m.
Eastside's boys tennis team have set themselves up for a possible state title in boys tennis on Tuesday as four of its five singles players reached the finals and both doubles teams advanced to the semifinals at the Class 2A state tournament at Red Bug Lake Park in Casselberry.
The last time and only time the Rams won a state title in boys tennis was in 2000.
Benjamin Brandt (No. 2), Maxwell Curtis (No. 3), Hyunsoo Joo (No. 4) and Samuel Cockey (No. 5) all won straight set victories and all will face opponents from defending state champion Gulliver Prep. The Raiders, state champions eight times over the last 11 years, advanced all five to the singles finals. They also advanced both doubles teams to Tuesday's semifinals.
"Everyone gave it their all and fought to the very end," said Eastside coach Dave Porter. "I truly believe our fitness and match play early in the season not only helped us bond as a team but also improved our toughness.
"I'm super proud of how we performed as a team, not only the results but the support everyone had for each other."
The Rams' lone setback was at No. 1 where Camille Kima fell to Gulliver's Chase Perez-Blanco, the classification's top seed and future Gator, in the semifinals. Brandt upset second-seeded Parker Lepore of Jacksonville Stanton College Prep, 6-1, 6-3, at No. 2.
Curtis, the second seed at No. 3, will face Gulliver's Andre Libnic, the top seed while Joo, the second seed at No. 4, will face Gulliver's Laurentiu Schinteie, who upset the top seed. Cockey is the top seed at No. 5.
Finals begin Tuesday at 8 a.m., followed by the semifinals and finals in doubles. Porter figures for Eastside to win state, the Rams will need to win at least three of the four singles finals and one of the doubles.
"This has been a great team throughout the year, and we have continued to improve as well," said Curtis, the team's captain. "I couldn't be more proud of my teammates for all of the time and effort they've put in to make the run to states and to make this an amazing senior season."

But a second half surge from Leinster - who included several first team squad players - saw them claim the cup victory and left Stanley to reflect on the small errors that had proved costly in Ireland.
"We are disappointed and the lads have put their hands up afterwards - individual errors cost us," said Stanley.
"We thought getting a score just before half-time, to give us a 15-10 lead at the break, would be crucial. We had weathered the early storm and got into the pattern and shape we wanted to and were effective.
"We kept hold of the ball reasonable well and got the scores on the back of it. We went in at half-time very positive and looking to come out and make a big start.
"But we conceded soft tries that we are very disappointed about. One from a lineout and one from an inside pick and go; ultimately that was the difference between the teams.
"Games are turned on small margins and when we look back we know what we need to correct.
"Full credit to Leinster; they took their opportunities well when they arose and had some very good players in the back line who, when the game broke out, were very good at one-on-ones to make things count.
"We can take positives from it though, when we did get out patterns right we caused them a lot of trouble. We put men in space and showed what we could do.
"Unfortunately, we didn't get back into the game until the last 15 minutes when we came on strong again. We have got to do our best to fix it now against Plymouth Albion next weekend."
Stanley also praised the impact of younger players such as Nile Dacres, Joel Dudley, James Whybrow and James Clutterbuck who all got valuable game time in Ireland while centre Alex Grove made his playing return.
He said: "I was pleased with the young lads as they did well. We had a few come off the bench who showed up strongly.
"This cup is a great format to get young players like them out on the pitch and playing alongside the more experienced players. They will be better players for getting the opportunity to come to a place like Donnybrook and play against a strong Leinster side.
"It was also good to see Grovesy back," he added. "Getting a quality player like that back in the panel is obviously a big plus for us."

OBV's Helen Grant promoted to Minister
In less than three short years, OBV alumni Helen Grant MP has been made a Minister in David Cameron's Ministerial reshuffle.
The Maidstone and Weald MP has been appointed joint Parliamentary under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice and for women's and equality issues. Accepting the appoint Helen Grant MP once again makes political history by becoming the first Conservative woman of African descent to become a Minister.
A lawyer by profession, her knowledge and skills will be brought to bear in a government department dealing with the nation's legal issues. Grant has not been afraid to challenge her own Government on issues she believes in. She fiercely, but politely, urged the Government to think again in regards to dropping certain aspects of Legal Aid.
As Grant takes up her Ministerial role, the demands and pressure on her have got that much higher. We at OBV are extremely proud of her success and the positive message her appointment sends out to Black women across the country.
We wish her well, above all that she can remain convicted to her ideals of equality and fairness which marked her out during the political debates around Legal Aid.
Helen Grant was chosen by OBV to join our MP Shadowing Scheme in 2006. She was twinned with Oliver Letwin MP
Well done Helen.
Simon Woolley

The firm, whose Baltika lager is one of the world's most popular, saw profits rise 39% to 230.6m euros (£156m).
Baltika said smart marketing and strong distribution helped it outperform the Russian market, which grew 3.7%.
Its largest shareholder, BBH, is jointly owned by global brewers Scottish & Newcastle and Carlsberg.
Export rush
Baltika's share of the Russian beer market - in terms of sales volumes - rose to 24%, three percentage points higher than the same period last year.
Its sales volumes rose 22% over the period driven by increased demand for Baltika, Russia's number one beer and Europe's number two.
The company is also building sales of Baltika and other products outside of Russia, with exports rising 24%.
The largest growth has been seen in fast-growing neighbouring markets such as Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Direct beer shipments have started to Holland and France while its principal lager is being sold in Ireland and Norway for the first time.
Baltika said it was optimistic about prospects for the year as a whole.
Growth potential
"The results show that the company continues to demonstrate success and feels confident in the marketplace," company president Anton Artemiev said
Foreign brewers have been targeting Russia in recent years.
They see huge potential for growth in a country in which beer, until the 1990s, played second fiddle to vodka.
Russia has now become the world's fifth largest consumer of beer.

A Ramsbottom resident has been given a three-year ASBO after he ignored repeated warnings about his abusive behaviour.
Traders have now welcomed a ruling that bans Paul Platt from going into their shops.
Bury Council applied for an anti-social behaviour order after the 28-year-old, of Hillside Road, verbally abused shop staff in Unsworth and Ramsbottom, as well as health workers.
He also intimidated and threatened bus and Metrolink passengers.
Platt's victims reported him to Bury Council, whose staff asked Platt to sign an acceptable behaviour contract.
Platt agreed to sign the contract and change his ways, but the incidents continued and Bury magistrates handed him a three-year ASBO at a hearing last week.
The order states that, until July, 2017, Platt must not drink or be drunk in public, swear at or verbally abuse people in public, threaten people in public or misbehave on buses and trams.
He is also banned from entering parts of Bridge Street in Ramsbottom and cannot go into Bargain Booze in Bolton Road West, Ramsbottom, Tesco Express in Irwell Street, Ramsbottom, or the Co-op shops in Parr Lane, Unsworth, and Vernon Road, Greenmount.
Platt could be jailed if he breaches the ASBO.
One shopworker, who asked not to be named, said: "This is a welcome relief to me and my colleagues and to the people who work at the other shops.
"Just before he got the ASBO, he came into the shop and was standing in the doorway shouting abuse at customers and threatening to spit at staff. It's not the kind of thing you come to work for."
The council's communities representative, Cllr Jane Lewis, said: "The council and police have repeatedly tried to support Paul Platt in getting the help he needs to address his anti-social behaviour.
"However, he has persisted in causing nuisance and distress to others.
"The council and its partners are committed to putting a stop to behaviour that undermines the quality of life of our residents."
- Anyone suffering from anti-social behaviour can call the council on 0161 2535353 or, if they are a Six Town Housing tenant, 0161 6868000.

Milwaukee, we're not an "irritation prone city"
Milwaukee, I love ya. And, for a number of number of reasons. You know them all.
And, a new poll confirms one reason why so many love Milwaukee -- we're not irritating. Atlanta, however, is. So are Houston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and L.A.
The poll conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces and paid for by Edge Shave Zone was based on 11 "irritation factors," including pest control, traffic congestion, heat index and others.
It's no surprise Milwaukee finished 49th (only Rochester is less irritating). Milwaukee's easy. Little traffic, nice people, an amazing Lakefront and wonderful media like OnMilwaukee.com.
See the full list here. And, have a wonderful and non irritating day!

I've been going off on tangents lately. I'm working on a Victorian Lady and horse combination paper doll set. I did the horse sketch tonight only to find out that there are limitations to what paper can do... and I'm probably going to have to reconfigure the horse because horses have radically small ankles. I never really thought of it till I tried to make one in paper doll format... but horses have bizarre proportions. How dare they.
Anyway, the sketch is still good - I'll just work some magic in photoshop.
The finals of the other dolls have been mailed off to my mom in preparation for the Etsy shop going live this Friday (yes... really this time). These are just the cover pages obviously. LRRH ended up being four pages total which is a bit excessive and we're not sure how to price that. I need to sit down before Friday and create a one-page version of all the dolls... but then they'll all seem so tiny then.
Before Friday I need to get the thaumatropes packaged up, and hopefully complete this set though that may not happen. I'll admit I'm a bit sleep deprived. I've been watching a slew of movies while I work though - mostly foreign films so that the dialogue doesn't distract me while I'm drawing. So I've ended up just hanging out in my house listening to people speaking Russian and Swedish for hours on end.
It's a bit of a strange life... and a strange feeling when a movie ends that I understood 0% of it.

Eliminate Even The Toughest Of Tough Odors!
Facebook @febrezeinwash
Wish we had smell-o-vision
★★★★★ 5 out of 5 by dromerodfw
My college-aged son stinks. All the time. Seriously stinks. I don't know how to make him care. He says he doesn't smell it. The rest of us. We do. He's home right now from college, and in preparation for my father-in-law also coming to visit, we stripped son's bed of sheets & blankets and washed with Febreze Odor Eliminator. I'll be honest. I was doubtful it would make a difference (did i mention my son stinks?). Much to my happy surprise, the sheets and blankets came out smelling so fresh! I am happy to put them on the bed and welcome my father-in-law, who will be none-the-wiser that he's sleeping in what is normally quite a stinky bed!Reviews

So when Mummy said she & Willie wanted to thank Labour for saving the Lords, I mean totes who knew, I went to Mummy, I may not know much about politics but I deffo remember something about them not liking Lords, anyway, Dave went well I majorly forbid it, hilair, it was like, I don't know, that bit in Romeo & Juliet after the blind man jumps off a cliff? I was like, babes, excuse me, is it not remotely good news for Mummy that Willie still has his little job, personally I think she is right, Miliband so deserves a tip. And Mummy was like, Dave darling, at least say how much is right, I mean if it's around 12% at John Frieda and Willie would probably give £20 to a beater, would £10 each be enough for Miliband and his friends, we do not want to insult them, maybe they would be happier with a scented candle from the shop or would that be thought effete, I know working men always have such dignity although I would of course choose something quite virile, what do you think of fig? And Nancy went Miliband can HMD *feels bad for laughing* & Dave said he still did not see why have my dinner is funny.
So Fellowes said the simplest thing was to have the Labourites for drinks if Mummy kept the Pimms weak and clingfilmed the tables, but she so need not have bothered, they were on uber best behaviour and little Miliband's eyes were literally on stalks? And obvs Willie had said totally do not dress up, just a clean singlet under your braces will be fine, but they were all in Sunday best, Mummy said it was adorbs, she had not seen a brown suit since she opened the Scunthorpe miners' gala in 1979? And the dear little Sadiq one said meeting an actual viscount was his dream come true? And Willie said well if you keep voting for us you can come here for "char" and skittles every week, but now it is time for you to leave? And Mummy gave them each a scented candle anyway, for the wives, because Fellowes is right, if nothing else they can use them for firelighters.

I am no stranger to fillers and other wonders of modern technology, I am not allergic to anything, and I have ridiculously tough skin. That said, I am astonished--and horrified--at how Radiesse has disfigured my face.
Three months ago, I had one syringe of Radiesse injected into my nasolabials and cheeks. I've had the same amount of other fillers in exactly the same spots, with good, if short-term, results. I wanted to try Radiesse because I read that the results last longer. Perhaps this is true, but a dilute solution of concrete would last a long time, too. It's an awful truth, "Be careful what you wish for!"
The Radiesse migrated almost immediately upwards from my nasolabials to form bulging balls just above them. This makes the nasolabials look even deeper. In addition, the slight plumping and raising effect I was hoping to get in my cheeks has sadly given me nothing more than immovable hillocks atop my cheeks. My boyfriend didn't propose marriage this month, as I was expecting him to--he took to squinting intently at my face, and finally asked me, "Aren't you a little old to have cystic acne?"
I have been massaging the lumps of Radiesse vigorously whenever I'm alone, and it hasn't done one bit of good.
If anyone knows of anything that will speed up the elimination of this evil stuff from my poor face, I beg you please: Tell me! I'll do anything!
And if you haven't had Radiesse, just say no. Your face will thank you.

Bracks censured on terror deal
State Political Reporter
Page Tools
PREMIER Steve Bracks is facing internal dissent for accepting the Howard Government's proposed anti-terror laws before seeing a draft of the bill.
The Age has learnt that the state ALP's justice and democracy policy committee wrote to Mr Bracks in mid-September urging him not to agree to Canberra's new counter-terrorism package until the details were known.
"In our view, state Labor governments, including obviously the Victorian Government, should not express any position in relation to the Federal Government's proposed extension of anti-terror laws until the Federal Government has produced a bill, or a draft of a bill," committee leaders wrote.
Mr Bracks and the state premiers agreed to the Federal Government's push to extend terror laws at a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting on September 27.
The Premier's agreement was on the condition that safeguards were put in place, including judicial oversight, legal representation for detainees, and sunset clauses. Under the laws, police and security agencies would get unprecedented powers to detain people without laying charges.
But members of the policy committee which is headed by Melbourne lawyers Peter Holding and Maria Pilipisidis and made up mostly of rank-and-file members said yesterday the Government should have sought more information. Some have also endorsed the decision by ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope to put a draft copy of the bill on his website last week.
"The majority of the committee view is that the community owes a debt of gratitude to John Stanhope for what he's done," a Victorian ALP source said yesterday. "I just can't believe the Government has been so weak, and I don't see that there's any justification for not having a draft bill out there for public debate."
Mr Bracks criticised Mr Stanhope's decision to release a draft of the bill, saying: "I wouldn't have done that. I think it's important to respect the sovereignty of cabinet."
He said the states would hold Prime Minister John Howard to his pledge that the anti-terrorism package would contain "no more and no less" than what was agreed to at the COAG meeting.
"We had time to consider (the proposed laws) and that's why I put in a proposition to look at (safeguards)," he said. "If there's any matter in the draft legislation which is not in accord with that that will not be supported."
NSW Premier Morris Iemma said yesterday that his state would enact the anti-terror laws it had agreed to but Northern Territory Chief Minister Clare Martin has concerns about the draft bills.
Mr Howard said the laws had been modified since they were made public but no major changes would be made.
