text: I know a little bit about shoes in terms of construction, leathers, lasts, etc. I am far from an expert though, and there has been something that has crossed my mind as a result of several discussions in this community. I own several pairs of Allen Edmonds and I always thought of them as entry level or mid price range shoes based on what I had heard and what I was told by others. I like the models I own just fine. The quality seems to be decent and not too expensive. So now I am entertaining thoughts of moving to the next level in terms of shoes. I'm talking about John Lobb, G&G, etc. But what does that mean? Who can give me straight up, no bull, assessments of why some of these other manufacturers out there are considerably better than AE? I'm not concerned with issues of style and silhouette, I'm talking about real facts concerning construction, leather, and anything else relevant that puts some shoes on a higher level than what is offered by AE. I'm just not sure if it would be worth it for me to move on from something that I like just fine already, and take the plunge and spring for some high end shoes. Is it like escargot? Do I just not know what I am missing?

By Justin Einhorn, STATS Senior Editor
ORLANDO (STATS) - A pair of former Big East standouts may have shown why some players choose to be a part of the NBA predraft camp and why others stay away from it - even if they do give up the chance to play in front of Michael Jordan.
Pittsburgh's Aaron Gray and Syracuse's Demetris Nichols are among the top seniors playing in Orlando this week, but Wednesday proved to have very different results for the two first-team All-Big East selections, who played under the vigilant eye of Jordan and a handful of other NBA legends at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.
With a rule change that prevented teams from holding private workouts until camp ended, this year's version is expected to hold added significance, and many of the league's biggest names were out to discover new talent on the first full day.
Of course, none of those names are bigger than Jordan, who is in Orlando checking out who he could potentially scoop up with Charlotte's second pick of the draft at No. 22. First the Bobcats will pick eighth overall, but all expected lottery picks have bypassed the camp, save for a physical on Thursday.
Other top NBA personnel on hand for Wednesday's morning session included Larry Bird, Chris Mullin and even Jerry West, whose days as Memphis general manager will come to an end July 1.
Among the coaches in attendance was Avery Johnson, who is taking a long look at the youngsters competing in Orlando because he could very well select one of them. Dallas owns the fourth pick in the second round.
"It's a pretty strong draft. I think there are a solid 30 guys in this draft, and that says a lot," Johnson said. "Last year, we didn't have 30 guys. This year, I think it's a much deeper draft, it's just a matter of how they're going to respond and how they transfer into the NBA."
One of those players in question is Gray. In college, he was often able to simply overwhelm opponents, particularly on the glass, due to his massive frame. He's easily the biggest player at the camp at 7-feet, 270 pounds.
That size is a big reason some considered Gray a potential top-20 pick entering this week. However, having an NBA-type body does not necessarily equate to having an NBA-type game.
One scout from a Western Conference team believed Gray would only be worth a second-round pick, and he didn't do much to disprove that on Wednesday.
In a full-court practice against players from his own team - there are six squads at the camp - Gray was dominated by unheralded Coleman Collins, an undersized power forward from Virginia Tech who at 6-foot-8 and 205 pounds has a major physical disadvantage against the former Pitt star.
Collins had his shot working and did not look the least bit tentative against Gray, who was being outworked at both ends of the floor and could not find his shot.
Things got a little better during the scrimmage when he didn't have to worry about Collins - who scored a camp-high 22 in his game - but Gray still was poor defensively and seemed to get the bulk of his 15 points (seven at the foul line) due to his size advantage, a dominating edge he won't always have in the NBA.
When asked if he felt the need to dominate, considering he is one of a small group of players at the camp with first-round potential, Gray admitted to feeling some extra pressure.
"Maybe a little bit, you definitely think about it," Gray said. "You just wanna go out there and show teams there's a lot of positives to your game and I think I did that. Hopefully, I'll continue to do that."
Nichols is even more of a wild card, with a small chance to sneak into the first round and a strong possibility he could go undrafted. But a standout effort in the Wednesday morning scrimmage would seem to suggest he'll not only be drafted, but had the potential to be a top-40 pick.
The 6-7 swingman exuded confidence and energy from the start, scoring 10 points in the game's first 3?? minutes. Nichols showed he has the range to hit NBA 3s with regularity, making all three he attempted in the first half and going 4-of-5 for the game en route to his 18 points.
Though his defense has come into question, Nichols was quick to defend it, and he showed Wednesday he will work hard on that end of the floor. He also displayed some decent rebounding and passing ability, leaving last season's Big East scoring leader (18.9 ppg) very happy about his performance.
"I feel real, real confident. This is the last camp, you know, a lot of scouts here. You've just got to show them you're a good person, that you play hard and the rest will come. I just go out there and play hard and do what I do best."

Mask Lulls Wearer To Sleep With Lights & Music That Mimic Brain Waves
The NeuroDreamer sleep mask guides your brainwaves into a pattern of rest by recreating the same frequencies that naturally appear as you fall asleep.
San Francisco-based hacker and inventor Mitch Altman has created an open source sleep mask that uses fading lights and ambient music, recreating the same brainwaves that appear as a person falls asleep. The NeuroDreamer sleep mask helps their brain 'shut off' by using the body's natural mechanisms to guide them into rest.
The brainwave frequencies are produced using binaural beats embedded within soothing music and synchronized with fading lights. These are generated by the mask's microcontroller, which is concealed inside the memory foam. The NeuroDreamer sleep mask features a washable soft cotton cover and can be used whenever and wherever you want to get some quality rest. This could be on a plane, on a work break, or at night in your own bed. Altman is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to manufacture the first 3,000 sleep masks, and you can order one for a pledge of $90.

Local home sales rose in April as the housing supply tightened, according to a new report.
Last month saw 227 single-family homes sold, up nearly 11 percent from the same time a year earlier, according to the South Bay Association of Realtors.
The figures exclude the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Inglewood.
For condos and town houses, sales dropped less than 2 percent to 119.
Prices dropped slightly. The median price of a single-family home fell 3 percent year over year. Condo and town house prices fell 1 percent.
The median price is the middle figure where half of homes sold for more and half for less.
"As we move into summer, we are still hopeful that the housing recovery is strengthening and bringing a boost to our local economy," Becky Park, president of the local Realtors association, said in a statement. "Signs of improvement in our local market appear to be happening just as similar signs of improvement appear around the United States."
Single-family homes for sale in April were down 31 percent to 962. For condos and town houses, the supply fell 33 percent to 559.
Reduced inventory and rising demand usually lead to higher prices.
Local real estate agent Adolph James said he is seeing improvement in the market.
"It's started to change. The attitudes changed. There's a little bit of optimism," said James, of Shorewood Realtors in Manhattan Beach. "I actually feel that the prices are starting to increase a bit. Not much, but a bit. It may have something to do with the sunshine and the overall summertime."
In another positive report, foreclosure rates in the Los Angeles area fell in March compared with a year earlier.
For the area that includes Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale, 1.5 percent of outstanding home mortgages are in foreclosure. That is down from March of last year when nearly 3 percent of mortgages were in foreclosure, according to CoreLogic, a company that tracks real estate and other economic data.
The foreclosure rate in March of this year was also lower than the national rate of 3.4 percent.
In more good news, mortgage delinquencies were down in March to 7.1 percent, compared with 8.8 percent a year earlier, CoreLogic said.
Delinquencies include mortgage loans that were late 90 days or more.

Australian Court Silences Apple's Cries, Allows Samsung Tablet to Launch
Jason Mick
December 9, 2011 1:18 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Mother Truth Blog)
France court also refuses Samsung's request to ban Apple's iPhone 4S; pair forced to compete on the market
Australian shoppers may finally themselves scratching their heads in dumbfoundment when they are greeted by the gourgeous display of Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) popular Galaxy Tab 10.1. "Is this a free market again?" they may wonder.
Well, yes. The wheels of justice have been turning and Apple, Inc.'s (
) attempt to replicate it's government-enforced monopoly it enjoys on modern "minimalist" tablets (thin, rectangular, touch-driven, with few redundant face buttons) in Germany was struck down by an Australian appeals court.
To recap:
The original ban was
put in place
by Justice Annabelle Bennett said that Apple had a
prima facie
case regarding infringement, or in English, that it appeared at first glance that Samsung's infringement was self-evident given the facts.
Specifically, she said that Samsung appeared to be infringing on an Apple touch-input heuristics patent (
) and a patent involving the manufacturing process used to make the iPad/iPad 2 touch screen (
). The decision came in October; over two months after Samsung
agreed to temporarily halt sales
while Justice Bennett ponder the preliminary injunction.
Cheered by the win, Apple looked to extend its reach to Samsung tablets of
sizes, banning the Galaxy Tab 7 and Galaxy Tab 10.1v, which had not yet been explicitly banned in the region. Apple's lawyer made his bid at a full monopoly on "minimalist" designs commenting, "Samsung says Galaxy Tab 10.1, we say any tablet device."
It was there that it was
dealt its first setback in the Australian court campaign
. Justice Annabelle Bennett dismissed the request for more preliminary injunction bans, saying she was not convinced that this "rolling mandatory injunction" (as Samsung's attorney labeled it) was warranted. Apple would not have its blanket monopoly. But it least had one triumph in its cap.
Following that decision, Samsung
offered to make peace
with Apple in October, but Apple refused.
Then at the end of November a panel of three judges -- Justices John Dowsett, Lindsay Foster and David Yates --
dealt a harsh blow
to Apple, ruling that Judge Bennett's logic in delivering a preliminary injunction was "grossly unjust" and complained that she "misunderstood and misapplied" the basics of Australian law regarding preliminary injunctions. They did force Samsung to endure one last delay, allowing apple to appeal the appeal.
Back to Present:
Fast forward a week and a half and a second panel of three Sydney, Australia High Court judges unanimously agreed to dismiss Apple's application for special leave to appeal the Federal Court's repeal of the sales ban.
That means the Galaxy Tab 10.1 can now launch, just in time for Christmas. The local
Herald Sun
that it will be priced at $579 AU and $729 AU for the WiFi and WiFi+3G models ($1 AU = $1.02 USD).
While damage has been done to Samsung's bottom line, at least its suffering is at last come to an end.
Apple bitterly refused to comment on the defeat.
Samsung Also Humbled:
In what some are hailing as a similar victory for free market competition and a similar move towards ending to
anticompetitive litigation
, Samsung's request to get a preliminary injunction banning iPhone 4S sales in France was struck down. Based on the wording of the
, it sounds that Samsung's case will still be heard (as in Apple's Australian case), but that the court ordered Samsung to pay "100,000 euros ($133,900)" of Apple's legal costs for inappropriately request a preliminary injunction.
While some would like to see Apple or Samsung successfully ban the other's products in internation courts, many have grown frustrated with the pair's 80+ lawsuits.
Of course Apple started the fight, with late CEO and company co-founder Steven Jobs calling Google Inc.'s (
) Android operating system a "stolen product" and vowing to
spend all of his company's money
, if necessary to "destroy" manufacturers using Android.
But some would rather let the pair fight their war on the free market, spending their money on bettering their products, rather than trying to buy a victory by instead funneling that money to finance high-powered legal teams, an expenditure which would do little good for customers.
Some people are opposed to companies using litigation as an anticompetitive tool to ban each other's products, regardless of who started the fight and who wins it.

So far that's more or less what has happening.
Courts in the U.S.
and now Australia have refused to grant Apple's request for a sales ban, while a court in the Netherlands rejected Apple's efforts to ban slightly modified Samsung devices, which removed what the court
ruled was an infringing feature
. Similarly courts
in the Netherlands
, and now France, have rejected Samsung's counter efforts to ban the iPhone 4S.
Thus far the only ban still in effect is the German court order, which grants Apple a blanket monopoly of the "minimalist" tablet space. The greater sentiment of the judicial system will soon be tested, though, as Samsung has
submitted a redesigned tablet
that, while still rectangular, removes virtually any design similarities in color scheme or I/O input placement between the iPad and the Galaxy Tab tablets.
wants the new design banned
from sale -- after all it
a tablet. It should be interesting to see if the German court continues to live in its own reality which appears to be distinctly separate from its European Union and international peers.

You can get the information from Ed-Data (click County, choose the List of Districts report and select your county). Getting the basic information should be straight forward (copy & paste). Getting the latitude and longitude requires a bit more work. If you click the address link in the Ed-Data report you are taken to a Yahoo Maps page. The link in the Link to this Map contains the latitude and longitude (look for &lat= and &lon=). You can also get the information in a similar fashion from Google but you'd have to copy/paste or rekey the address. There are other sources online that will return a set of coordinates for an address.

This is to keep the code generic so it can be used for other maps and still make sense.
Edit the following variables:
- gMapLatitude - latitude used to center the map when first opened
- gMapLongitude - longitude used to center the map when first opened
- gMapZoom - the zoom level of the map when first opened
Groups must be numbered incrementally starting with zero (the number is also the position in a javascript array). The first parameter in a site is the group to which the site belongs. The groups also have a latitude and longitude but these are not currently used (right now they are set to the same latitude and longitude as the district office).

text: atxsxsw - Unregistered April 23, 2013 9:12 PM Doesn't it seem odd to have a series where you have massive technology with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars and then deliberately having the tire supplier create tires that artificially reduce the impacts of all that technology just so that the racing is a more random and closer so it's more of a NASCAR-like show. Doesn't it seem like the tire suppliers should also be pushing the boundaries of tire technology and materials? 8 agree 2 disagree

I made a similar claim in my general exams and was given the question, "And would you say that Machiavelli was an Aristotelian or a Platonist?" What would you say?
FLG's knee jerk reaction is that since he believes Machiavelli is the root of modern science and empiricism, Machiavelli would most definitely be an Aristotelian. BUT...FLG vaguely remembers Machiavelli drawing a sharp distinction between himself and Aristotle on some issue. Although, he could be remembering that. In either case, FLG needs to think about this more.

UK backs hardline approach on fraud
Tough penalties for company executives who carry out fraudulent activities have been backed by the UK Trade & Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt.
She said she agreed with the hardline approach suggested by US President George W Bush who has advocated stiff fines, and in some cases, prison sentences.
Ms Hewitt also said international agreement needed to be reached on how to treat share options in company accounts.
The practice of offering huge share options to senior executives has been criticised by some experts, in the wake of recent corporate scandals.
'Disgraceful' behaviour
Following the collapse of Enron, and the discovery of accounting irregularities at WorldCom, President Bush said fraudulent executives should face stiff fines, and if they had committed criminal acts, should be sent to prison.
"I think that approach is absolutely right," Ms Hewitt told the BBC's Breakfast with Frost programme.
"What we have seen in American is a few individuals in a few companies, and one audit firm, behaving absolutely disgracefully and damaging people's savings.
"More broadly they have damaged people's confidence in business as a whole."
On Friday, Ms Hewitt said the government was considering a number of measures designed to restore confidence to the corporate and accounting sector.
She said one measure they were looking at was stripping executive directors of the power to appoint company auditors.
Another was barring large accountancy firms from providing other, lucrative services to companies they are auditing.
Action on options
Ms Hewitt also criticised the practice, common in the US, of offering large share option packages to senior executives.
"It now looks very much as those gave some real perverse incentives to, frankly, greedy people who just wanted to pump up their share prices as quickly as they could and got into bed with a few corrupt auditors as well."
She said she had asked UK regulators to look into the practice.
"There was a proposal a couple of years ago that here in Britain we should toughen up the rules for how those share options were accounted for." she said.
"I was against doing it just in the UK because we would have damaged the prospects for our own h-tech start-ups, but I think doing it internationally is absolutely the right thing so we remove one of the incentives for this kind of greed and mis-management."

THE 966 contacts made to Wexford services in 2011 were in respect of 846 different people, as some of them were referred more than once or treated at two or more centres.
Of these 846, 627 were new referrals who received one course of treatment during the year. Sixty-four other clients required continuous care, while 25 were treated twice or more in 2011. Of other new referrals, 130 were assessed only and did not receive treatment.
Sixty-eight of the people who made contact with the services were treated for a main problem other than substance misuse. Of these clients, 13 individuals were treated for gambling problems, an increase of six on the previous year. Twenty-six individuals were listed as 'concerned persons', 16 were treated for relationship issues and 13 were treated for other problems.
A breakdown of ages shows that 140 clients treated in Wexford were between 18 and 24 years old, while 42 were under 18.
Males accounted for 68% of all treatments. In terms of accommodation status, 608 (94%) were in stable accommodation at the time of receiving treatment. There were 23 homeless people treated, while the remaining treatments were for people in unstable accommodation or in prison, residential care or a halfway house.
In terms of employment status, 379 of those receiving treatment were unemployed, and just 83 were in full-time employment at the time of their treatment. The next highest figures were made up by those who were retired/unable to work (53) and students (48).

Aurora Theatre Company Presents A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS WITH NELL & JIM, Now thru 12/21
Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company presents a "house" concert for the holidays with Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally in A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS WITH NELL & JIM. This intimate show inaugurates Aurora Theatre Company's Second Stage cabaret performance space, Harry's UpStage, located in the Nell and Jules Dashow Wing.

Tickets ($25 and $28) may be purchased directly from the Aurora Theatre Company box office by calling (510) 843-4822 or online at auroratheatre.org.
Featured performers at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the Strawberry Music Festival, and the Kennedy Center, Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally write and record roots music reminiscent of classic country duos such as Tammy Wynette and George Jones. Filled with country ("Christmas Time's a Comin," "If We Make It Through December," "Daddy Looked a Lot Like Santa") and Christmas ("Greensleeves," "Winter Wonderland") classics, as well as original numbers from Nell and Jim's new album House & Garden, A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS re-creates that home for the holidays feeling with a joyous, intimate concert full of harmony and heart.

Over the past four years she has appeared on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the Strawberry Music Festival, the Kate Wolf Music Festival, and has enjoyed sold out performances at Berkeley's Freight and Salvage. This past fall, Nell, duet partner Jim Nunally, and friends were featured performers at Washington DC's Kennedy Center. Additional musical projects include Soldier Stories, a tribute to veterans and their families, and the whimsical 1930s-inspired yodeling duo, The Henriettas.

Eastern Red cedar is a small evergreen that commonly grows to a height of 10-50 feet. Its name is misleading since it is a juniper and not a cedar. Its range is from Nova Scotia to northern Florida, and west to the Dakotas and Texas. They can grow in any type of soil, and will take over abandoned fields and fence rows. Eastern Red Cedars prefer full sun and seedlings don't grow well in forests. When red cedars are found growing in a forest, you can be sure they started growing when it was an open field.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The number of applicants vying for Philadelphia's second casino license is down to four now that Penn National Gaming has dropped out of the competition.
Penn National Gaming has formally withdrawn its proposal for a $480 million casino on Packer Avenue in the city's sports and entertainment district.
In a news release, Penn National says a contributing factor to its decision was the city of Philadelphia's "vocal support" for a Center City location for the second casino license.
But the release also notes that the market potential in Philadelphia is less today than when Penn National first applied. A spokesman for the Gaming Control Board says the board is reviewing Penn National's filing and that the gaming board is continuing its discussions relative to the issuance of a second casino license for Philadelphia.
