Can Women Be Players?
If she stops calling you within the first 2 weeks of dating, it could mean that she's simply not interested, but it's also possible that she's a player, and dating someone else as you sit by the phone talking to her answering machine.
You never meet her friends
She always talks about her close friends, but she never wants you to meet them. Not only does she never initiate introducing you to her friends, she literally hides from them while she's out with you. What could she possible have to hide?
She starts dating your friends
When she declines your invitations you assume she lost interest, but it turns out your buddy Scott is now asking for your permission to date her after she met him at a club. Apparently, she told Scott that things with you and her "just didn't work out."
why women playWhy wouldn't there be female players out there? Women can play the innocent card; men don't expect women to turn around and take advantage of them, which is exactly why women do. It's harder for men to get away with being players, since women have been conditioned to watch out for players their entire lives. They grew up with the belief that men can be scum, and they need to watch out for the men who will use and abuse them.
But men don't watch out for female players. Women have 2 things working for them, which make their jobs as players easier than men's:
1— Women hold the power of seduction.
2— Men aren't approached as much as women are.
Women have a weapon that can make a man weak at the knees. It's not that men are naïve, but because it's rare for them to be approached by women, when a hot number does approach a hungry male, she can get him to take down her number and take her out (depending on his standards and whether or not he is single). This all goes back to the fact that women have men approaching them all the time, which makes it more likely that they will be apprehensive by a man who makes his way toward them.
But by being a player, a woman gains the upper hand in the dating game. She says who, she says when, she says until when, and this gives her the power to call the shots.
once a player, always a player?Women are players for the same reasons men are. They want to have fun, and aren't interested in settling down with one person for the time being. Maybe they're scared of commitment, maybe they aren't ready for commitment, or maybe they just haven't found the right person yet.
If you are willing to take the chance of being strung along and stomped on, the only thing you can do is determine why she's a player, and then work from there. If she's waiting for the right guy to come along, then maybe she will become a one-woman man with you. But if you don't know why she's a player, or you know that it's because she's afraid of commitment, then don't take it upon yourself to change her ways.
If she's a true player, she'll make the decision easy for you, and leave you before you even have a chance to think about it.

The East Bethel City Council July 3 approved a preliminary cost share amount of $2,222,560 with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services for a Castle Towers/Whispering Aspens forcemain from Viking Boulevard to 229th Avenue.
This cost share is based on a third round of bids for the project.
The original bids, received by the city in November 2012, were much higher than had been anticipated, putting the city's participation in the project at risk.
As a result, the Metropolitan Council rejected those bids and then worked with the city to identify costs that could be eliminated from the city's portion of the project. This included modifying the project to eliminate the city's participation in two road crossings and about 1,000 feet of street restoration.
When the Metropolitan Council re-bid the project in February, the city's share came to $1,964,502.19. However, those bids were rejected as well because of contract issues.
Yet another re-bid on the project in June, by then with some design changes, resulted in a cost share for the city of $2,222,560. Although the council has approved that cost share amount, it had to schedule a special meeting for July 10 to award the contract because of a potential bidder protest that would need to be resolved first.
In addition to the shared-cost project with the Metropolitan Council, the city will have to extend the forcemain from 229th Avenue to the Castle Towers treatment plant and another segment between Klondike Avenue and Sims Road.
This additional work, estimated at $2.7 million, is necessary in order to decommission the Castle Towers waste water treatment plant and extend forcemain sewer service, which will allow the city to save between $4 million and $5 million over the next 30 years, according to City Administrator Jack Davis.
The city will pay for the project with excess bond funds.

text: I keep trying to tell myself it's early in the season but I am not sure how long I can keep saying that for… While playing the music tonight for Detroit on 98.7 Amp Radio I had the game on the tv here in the studio and it was hard to watch. What made it even more disturbing is I hate losing anything to the state of OHIO. They lost to Cleveland tonight and I am no sure they are ever going to get better. If I am going to continue to go to games and pay 79 dollars for a beer my team better start winning! One of my favorite things about summer is baseball and the girls in Tigers shirts… Girls in Tigers shirts are so hot! especially the ones that say "Meet Me in the dug out" I pretty much like anything from Victoria's secret 🙂 lol

Graca Machel said her husband was too old to be standing out in the cold for too long but was keen to be present at the conclusion of the host nation's proudest moment.
Madiba, as he is affectionately known in South Africa, was due to attend the opening ceremony last month but pulled out last minute when his great-granddaughter Zenani was killed in a car accident.
The confirmation that he will attend this evening's World Cup final - which pits Holland against Spain - will be greeted with delight by South Africans who still revere the nonogenarian as the father of the nation.
Speaking after a summit of the 1GOAL charity - the World Cup's main legacy project which aims to provide education for the 72 million children worldwide who are not currently in school - Mrs Machel said: "Nelson Mandela will go to the final but he is not going to hand over the trophy. He is 92 years old, it's in the evening, it's very cold.
"He will be there but he will not hand over the trophy."
The confirmation by Mrs Machel, who became Mandela's third wife in 1998, comes after his grandson Mandla claimed Fifa had put "extreme pressure" on him to attend the final and accused the sport body of failing to "understand the family's traditions and customs".
"The family has really taken a step back from a lot of activities and we've been mourning the loss of Zenani," Mandla Mandela said. "So we've come under extreme pressure from FIFA requiring and wishing that my grandfather be at the final.
"But I think that decision will solemnly lie with him, how he wakes up today, how he feels, what his medical team says, but as well his family.
"Fifa said that Sepp Blatter wished that my grandfather comes out to the final.
"I think people ought to just understand the family's traditions and customs and understand we've had a loss in the family and we are in mourning and that for me would be enough reason to leave the family to be for now.
"Their focus is having this world icon in the stadium, yet not really paying attention to our customs and traditions as a people and as a family."

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat officially declared the Ping An Finance Center in Shenzhen as the world's fourth tallest building — knocking One World Trade Center down to Number 5 in the CTBUH's ten tallest buildings in the world. Rising above Futian District at 599 meters, the Ping An tower is Shenzhen's tallest building and China's second tallest.

As of March 2017, the CTBUH's top three tallest buildings are the Burj Khalifa, the Shanghai Tower (which recently pushed Chicago's Willis Tower out of the CTBUH's top 10 tallest buildings), and the Makkah Royal Clock Tower.

Developed by Ping An Finance Center Construction & Development, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates designed the tower like a "taut steel cable" with a public atrium at the base and floors of office space for the Ping An group and other tenants. Its streamlined shape reduces baseline wind loads by 35 percent and comprises eight composite megacolumns. Most notably, the Ping An...

Birds fly in and out of the eight-storey "Green Office Building" in Shenzhen, China, because a third of its walls are completely open to the air. It's a clever natural design that enables the building to stay cool without air conditioners. Across town, in a vast campus known as the "Low Carbon Park", mist is sprayed into the air to cool the streets down and remove dust.

Experiments like these are appearing across China's cities, as part of a devolution of power designed to clean up smoggy air and meet energy targets to tackle climate change.

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU has completed work on the Museum of Contemporary Art & Planning Exhibition (MOCAPE), a major new cultural center in the Futian Cultural District of Shenzhen. The "monolithic" structure houses two separate institutions, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Planning Exhibition, under one roof, serving as a "cultural meeting point and a venue for architectural exhibitions". The project completes the eastern part of a major master plan for central Shenzhen.

From the architects:

Both museums are designed as separate entities emphasizing their individual functional and artistic requirements and yet are merged in a monolithic body surrounded by a multifunctional facade. This transparent facade and a sophisticated internal lighting concept allow a deep view into the joint entrance and transitional areas between the buildings. From the inside, visitors are granted an unhindered view onto the city suggesting they are somewhere in a gently shaded outdoor area, an impression e...

On the eastern edge of Shenzhen, a new university campus designed by Foster + Partners just opened. The China Resources University, a 55,000 sq. meter project, is part of a larger mixed-used development headed by the London-headquartered firm.

According the press release, the campus sits on a hill with sweeping views of the South China Sea. Five teaching buildings and an "innovation centre" line a central boulevard leading to a main auditorium building that contains a large lecture hall. The campus also includes a library, more auditoria, a bar, gym, and student residences.

"The idea was to create a cascading complex of buildings and spaces - a series of teaching and living spaces, terraces and informal streets that encourage interaction and a sense of wellbeing," states Chris Bubb, a partner at Foster + Partners.

The buildings share a palette of materials: fair-faced concrete, bronze-colored cladding, and clay brick. The clay bricks are one of the signature design elements of the proj...

"Village" may not seem like the right term for a cluster of tenement-style walkups that can house more than 100,000 people. Chengzhongcun hang onto the name partly because of the familiarity evoked by the traditions and small-scale businesses that thrive among their migrant populations, and partly because when modern Shenzhen began growing, these places really were just villages in the middle of the city.

The region where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea has seen some of the most rapid urban expansion in human history over the past few decades – transforming what was mostly agricultural land in 1979 into what is the manufacturing heartland of a global economic superpower today.

Back in December of last year, the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture launched in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, featuring an exhibition curated by Los Angeles-based critic Mimi Zeiger and designer Tim Durfee, representing Art Center's Media Design Practices program. Their show, "Now, There: Scenes from the Post-Geographic City", winner of the Biennale's Bronze Dragon, reconsiders what makes up today's idea of a "city", specifically regarding our digital and virtual presences, as well as contemporary issues of globalized economies.

The exhibition features work by Besler & Sons, Walton Chiu, Tim Durfee and Ben Hooker (with Jenny Rodenhouse), John Szot Studio, m-a-u-s-e-r, and Metahaven, as well as texts by Joanne McNeil, Enrique Ramirez, and Therese Tierney. Check out some of their work below.

Dozens of people are missing after a landslide engulfed 22 buildings at an industrial park in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. [...] Local media reported that the soil that came loose had been dug up in the past two years in construction work and was piled up nearby. A statement on Weibo from the Shenzhen municipal government said the landslide had also triggered an explosion at a nearby gas station. A landslide in the country's Zhejiang province in November killed at least 25 people.

"Shenzhen's fire brigade said it was working to free other trapped people - state media say 59 remain missing. Two workers' dormitories are among the affected buildings."

Today, on China's southern coast, the integration of the Greater Pearl River Delta (PRD) is turning fiction into fact (sans the harsh lawman), with 11 cities linking to create an urban area of 21,100 square miles (55,000 sq km) and a population of up to 80 million. The nine cities of the PRD, plus the special administrative zones of Hong Kong and Macau, are becoming increasingly linked by a series of bridges, tunnels, roads, and high-speed rail networks.

Architecture firm von Gerkan, Marg, and Partners won a large commission earlier this week to design a new urban development in Shenzhen, China. The 45-hectare project is part of an economic plan that China developed for the area.

 "It comprises a transportation hub including five underground railway stations, a border control point and numerous commercial areas. Above ground there will be a range of tower blocks of different heights with apartments, shops and offices to form multi-functional city quarters."

 Drop by Hollywood's finest art and architecture bookstore, Hennessey + Ingalls, tonight for a special event launching Shaping the City, a newly revised edition of contemporary urbanism case studies. The event will also feature a conversation with University of Toronto's Director of Urban Design, and Shaping the City's editor, Rodolphe el-Khoury, along with Qingyun Ma, Dean of USC School of Architecture. The conversation will also include Shaping the City contributors Teddy Cruz, Victor J. Jones, and Paulette Singley.

 Archinect picked the brains of el-Khoury and Singley before the launch, here's some tidbits:

 Archinect: What was your contribution to Shaping the City?

 Rodolphe el-Khoury: [Co-author Edward Robbins and I] conceived Shaping the City as a potential textbook that would sample aspects of the city without imposing an overarching conceptual framework on the complex and varied manifestations of urban forms and phenomena.

 The 5th Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) will reflect on southern China's rapidly developed recent past, while focusing attentions on its postindustrial future. Co-organized by Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the biennale presents a variety of international studies on urbanism, through architectural, ethnographic and artistic means. True to its future-focus, the biennale will renovate former industrial sites to use as venues, including an old waterfront warehouse and a former glass factory.

 Shenzhen's rapid urban growth began in 1979, when the Chinese government named the small village a "special economic zone" for manufacturing and employment. Since then, the city has been flushed with Chinese and foreign investments, primarily in manufacturing -- now, Shenzhen aims to develop more service industries and away from its fast-earned industrial past.

 UABB purports to be the only biennale in the world devoted entirely to urbanism and urbanization, and will be held from Dec...

In the future the wisest zone entrepreneurs will question this central feature and ask: Why enclave? What types of incentivized urbanism will actually benefit from physically segregated infrastructure—from being separate and even distant from the dense and dynamic central spaces of existing cities? Given that the zone is now generating its own urban programs — aspiring to be a city—what economic and technical benefits can result from constructing what is in effect a double or shadow of the city?

 On Places, Keller Easterling traces the global rise of The Zone -- "a.k.a., the Free Trade Zone, Foreign Trade Zone, Special Economic Zone, Export Processing Zone, or any of the dozens of variants." From pirate enclaves to Puerto Rico, from Shenzhen to Dubai, she interrogates the spatial logic of extrastate zones created to avoid national laws.

Jennifer Wray, PhD
Undergraduate Institution & Degree:
Bachelor of Arts, Providence College
Graduate Education:
PhD in Clinical Psychology, University at Buffalo
Smithtown, NY
Tell us about yourself:
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Integrated Healthcare (CIH). Prior to coming to CIH my research focused on cigarette craving and the assessment of tobacco use in daily and nondaily smokers. My current position has allowed me to bring my research into the exciting area of primary care-mental health integration. I now focus on increasing the reach of tobacco and alcohol interventions in integrated primary care settings. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and spending time outdoors.
1. Describe your fellowship research project and why you are interested in studying more about this area.
This project focuses on qualitative interviews with behavioral health providers and primary care providers to better understand the barriers and facilitators of implementing brief interventions for tobacco use and alcohol misuse in integrated primary care settings. In the second phase of this project, we will be using these responses to create a survey that will be filled out by providers working in integrated primary care clinics to assess these barriers and facilitators on a larger scale. I am excited about work in this area because we already have a great evidence base for the effectiveness of brief interventions for tobacco use and alcohol misuse and we have wide access to patients who are using tobacco and alcohol in the primary care setting. Further, integrated primary care clinics offer unique opportunities for the delivery of these interventions, as they have behavioral health providers on staff. This project will help us identify areas that we can target to better implement brief tobacco and alcohol interventions into these settings.
2. Who is your project mentor?
Jennifer Funderburk.
3. What is the best & worst thing about working with your mentor?
Jen is so passionate about integrated healthcare and is always excited to talk about research in this area. She helps me get excited when I'm bogged down in writing or stuck on a problem. She also excels at getting down to the nitty gritty details of a project. For example, she would ask me- how are we going to identify these providers? How will you convince them it is worth the time to participate? The toughest part is that we are located at different sites, but we have really made this work through weekly phone meetings and face to face contact at least once a month.
4. What attracted you to the field of collaborative care?
This field is ripe with clinical and research opportunities and I really believe it is the wave of the future.
5. What are your future plans?
Soon I will move on from my postdoctoral position and hope to have a long term career in field of integrated primary care.
6. In all of the field, who is the person you look up to the most and why?
Of course my research mentor on this project, Jen Funderburk, because of all she has taught me about research and clinical practice in the field of integrated primary care.
7. What publications and presentations came out of your fellowship project?
We recently began data collection for this project but will have our first presentation at the 2016 CFHA meeting.

Animal-rights Blow For Drugs Firm
Shares in British drugs firm Phytopharm have slumped by as much as 22%, as investors feared attacks from animal-rights militants. Canaccord Capital has quit as broker to the firm, after one of its bosses was the target of an incendiary device. A website connected to the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) said activists planted the device in May. Activists want Phytopharm to cut links with Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), a prominent target of their campaigns. Research firm HLS moved its headquarters to the US in 2001 after a sometimes violent campaign against its staff and property in the UK.

Shocking Photos of the Tornadoes' Devastating Aftermath
Over the past three days, tornadoes ripped through areas of the Midwest and the South, leaving full towns destroyed and killing 30 people in Arkansas and Oklahoma. One tornado hit Vilonia and Mayflower, just north of Little Rock, AR, with winds of more than 136 miles per hour. The storms destroyed homes and businesses throughout multiple states, and around 75 million Americans are under threat of severe weather on Tuesday in areas of the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast. As emergency workers and volunteers continue to help the affected areas, take a look at some of the shocking photos of the storms' aftermath.

Collecting Treasures in the Belly and the Handby Liz Tarpy in Events, March 7th, 2012
It's interesting to hear what people collect during their travels. From postcards to original artwork, the choice of what to carry home reveals an intimate peek into the traveler's life. As a food professional, it's not surprising I hanker for edible souvenirs. Unfortunately, they don't last any longer than the time it takes to eat a sausage sandwich on the cobbled streets of a German village, or lick the buttery crumbs off my fingers from an unbelievably good French croissant. A bottle of Italian olive oil might make it out of the country, but its lifespan is only as long as the number of home-cooked dinners it lasts for. Although the foods may be long gone, the memory lives on.

Spotted at the Starbucks at Montrose and Hawthorn:
"The man with the good karma who drove home to get a coat hanger after I locked myself out my car thank you – there is something in this for you!
From the Houston Chronicle:
Asher Brown's worn-out tennis shoes still sit in the living room of his Cypress-area home while his student progress report – filled with straight A's – rests on the coffee table.
The eighth-grader killed himself last week. He shot himself in the head after enduring what his mother and stepfather say was constant harassment from four other students at Hamilton Middle School in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District.
Brown, his family said, was "bullied to death" – picked on for his small size, his religion and because he did not wear designer clothes and shoes. Kids also accused him of being gay, some of them performing mock gay acts on him in his physical education class, his mother and stepfather said.
The 13-year-old's parents said they had complained about the bullying to Hamilton Middle School officials during the past 18 months, but claimed their concerns fell on deaf ears.
You would think that a wave of violence against LGBT (and perceived LGBT) school kids — and an alarming body count — might prompt some sort of comment (let alone action) from the White House… even calls for immediate passage of the Federal Safe Schools act.
On a personal note, I went to school in this particular district — a very long time ago. And it appears that despite the passage of time, not much has changed… I was bullied in middle school and much of high school — being short, slight build, into the arts, etc. — to the point that when I did finally fight back, I wound up breaking the other kids arm. The school administrators, teachers and adults acted as if the bullying occuring under their noses didn't exist — they were blissfully unaware.
I've carried the scars through my life — and it has spurred me to be an activist for change
We all need to let our kids know: IT GETS BETTER.

Seasonal, temporary and pop-up retailers have an added challenge this year. As of March, any retail space constructed or altered must meet the Department of Justice's latest ADA requirements and the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design.
That applies to all new retail construction and any alterations to retail spaces; and if an existing facility is used, then retailers must conduct "readily achievable barrier removal."

Cuba Special Report: Boston pilgrims see work of Church in Cuba firsthand
AnaMaria Claramunt, 86, comes daily to the senior program run by La Merced Church in Havana. "[The Casa] gives us everything... and most importantly they give us love," she said. Pilot photo/Gregory L. Tracy
HAVANA -- Weekday mornings, AnaMaria Claramunt, 86, wakes early, dresses hurriedly and makes a four-block trek past dilapidated buildings, avoiding stray dogs that litter the sidewalks, going to the place she calls home, the Casa de Abuelos.
There she and 59 other members of the senior day care center are greeted with a smile by Teresa Fernandez, the director of the Casa de Abuelos, Spanish for "House of Grandparents."
The center was one of the Church-run programs experienced by Boston pilgrims during their March 22-29 visit to Cuba culminating in the Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI in Havana's Revolution Square.
"I love it here," said Claramunt, she said gesturing to her friends. "These people have become my family."
"[The Casa] gives us everything," she said, "food, clothes, a place to belong -- and most importantly they give us love."
Claramunt is one of the lucky ones, according to Father Justo Moro, a Vincentian priest from Spain who helps run the program.
"The government allows only 60 people to belong to the program because our kitchen and shower facilities can only accommodate that many," he explained.
Operated out of the Church of La Merced, a church that historically provided asylum for African slaves, the waiting list to get into the facility is long, something that Father Moro is hoping will soon change.

Readers' tablet spec comparison: how does the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet fare?
6 Comments
1. imkyle (Posts: 1086; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
According to the Nook Tablet press release, they said that that Kindle Fire had only 512MB of ram? If it is 1GB, that's just sweeeeet :)
2. AngusNG12345 (Posts: 37; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
i'm pretty sure the fire has only 512 megs of ram...?
3. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
It's the microSD option that gets the Nook Tab my vote. Stock Honeycomb (and likely ICS) without rooting? Check!
4. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
the nook tablet looks better overall on the hardware front since it has double the storage and is extendable unlike the amazon tablet, but the amazon tablet does have the advantage of the amazon app store and other amazon services. Its a tough choice indeed.
5. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1639; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
You have to remember that while B&N has the better tablet now, Amazon is having another tablet in the works that will probably be better in specs than the B&N tablet and also probably price match them at $250, possibly at most up to $300.

Briefing Note: abiraterone (Zytiga) Resubmission
SMC accepted abiraterone acetate for restricted use with prednisone or prednisolone for the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in adult men whose disease has progressed on or after a docetaxel-based chemotherapy regimen. Abiraterone is restricted for use in patients who have received only one prior chemotherapy regimen.
- Prostate cancer is a disease where cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Most prostate cancers grow very slowly and men may not experience symptoms for many years. Symptoms can include difficulty in passing urine, passing urine more frequently and pain when passing urine. The hormone testosterone helps cancer cells in the prostate to multiply and spread. When it has spread to another part of the body, it is called metastatic prostate cancer.
- Prostate cancer can be treated by reducing the available testosterone by medical or surgical means. However, treatment may stop working after a time and the cancer resumes growth despite hormone therapy. This is known as 'hormone refractory' or 'castration resistant' prostate cancer. Abiraterone acetate is a medicine used in men with mCRPC. It works by decreasing the level of circulating testosterone, and is given as four tablets in a single daily dose which must not be taken with food.
- A study has shown that abiraterone plus prednisone significantly improved overall survival by nearly 4 months in individual patients compared with placebo (a dummy medicine containing no active treatment) plus prednisone in patients with mCRPC previously treated with docetaxel.
- In studies, side effects experienced by a greater proportion of patients given abiraterone than those given placebo included low levels of potassium, high blood pressure, fluid retention and heart disorders.
- This SMC advice takes account of the benefits of a patient access scheme1 (PAS). A PAS is a scheme proposed by a manufacturer in order to improve the cost effectiveness of a medicine and thus enable patients to receive access to new medicines that may otherwise not have been judged to be a cost-effective use of NHS resources. The proposed PAS gives a discount on the price of the medicine.
- SMC accepted abiraterone for restricted use in NHSScotland because the expected benefits of the medicine outweighed its cost when considered in the context of the PAS and the decision modifiers that allow SMC to take account of additional factors such as improvement in life expectancy, quality of life, and evidence of benefits in specific patient subgroups. This SMC advice depends on the continuing availability of the PAS in Scotland.
In March 2009, it was announced that an agreed national framework would be introduced to allow the operation of PAS in NHSScotland. A patient access scheme assessment group (PASAG) was established to review and advise NHSScotland on the feasibility of proposed schemes for implementation. PASAG operates separately from SMC in order to maintain the integrity and independence of the assessment process of SMC.

Hugh Hefner doesn't waste any time.
One week after Crystal Harris called off their June 18 wedding, the 85-year-old Playboy mogul found a new woman to help heal his broken heart: buxom blonde Anna Sophia Berglund, 25.
"With Crystal gone, Anna is my best girl, but she's also Crystal's good friend," Hefner tweeted Thursday. "Anna really is one in a million."
Berglund, who was named the magazine's Playmate of the Month in January, has appeared on The Girls Next Door and Holly's World. A 2008 UCLA graduate, Berglund -- who majored in theater -- has also filmed guest spots on Hannah Montana and Desperate Housewives.
According to Harris, 25, things aren't romantic between Hefner and Berglund -- yet. "She's just over there regulating making sure Hef ends up with a good girl," she tweeted.

CYCLING'S international bosses have recoiled from the idea of an amnesty to cleanse the sport of its drug-tainted history, after flagging a deliberate confrontation with its unpleasant past only a fortnight ago.
Emerging from his first major meeting with fellow cycling chiefs following the lifetime ban of Lance Armstrong, Union Cycliste Internationale president Pat McQuaid said the future of the sport should be the priority because prolonged examinations of cheating risked damaging cycling's reputation further.
Critics maintain that a mass purge is required in order for road cycling to truly move on.
Detailing a motion passed by his UCI cohorts to Associated Press, McQuaid said there was ''no point in continuing to re-examine the past of then undetectable doping and stigmatise the sport of the young generations now that the situation has considerably improved through the UCI's continued efforts''.
Indicating that an amnesty had been proposed and rejected, McQuaid said: ''We need to concentrate on the sport today and not so much to the past.''
He denied that the UCI has ruled out assembling some kind of truth commission for athletes and officials to come clean on doping offences.
Two weeks ago McQuaid indicated a willingness to declare a ''black era'' over the seven years Armstrong won the Tour de France, due to a lack of confidence that others riders were clean at the time, and said of an amnesty: ''I think there's room for it and I think the UCI could do well to [introduce it].''
The UCI is still to receive the written findings of the US Anti-Doping Agency that annulled 14 years of Armstrong's results, but McQuaid said his organisation ''will give the appropriate sanctions'' if it judges the report to be ''strong and clean''.
Armstrong has steadfastly denied doping but announced last month that he would not challenge the USADA's ruling.
Meanwhile, it emerged that McQuaid and his predecessor, Hein Verbruggen, are pursuing legal action against Irish journalist Paul Kimmage over his accusations that the UCI protected Armstrong by covering up incriminating drug tests and alerting the seven-time Tour de France winner about coming tests.
A court hearing has been set for December 12 in Switzerland and will see the UCI - which strenuously denies Kimmage's allegations - call several witnesses.
McQuaid's and Verbruggen's pursuit of the case triggered a scathing response from reformed British drug cheat David Millar, who branded the suing of Kimmage ''disgusting''. In a later tweet Millar wrote: ''What's amazing is the more the UCI continue to act in this manner the more they reveal themselves to be to blame for the last 20yrs.''

>Technical Support>Wether widget temp off
Not dead. Yet.
I usually notice when I visit my training log that the weather widget's temp is lower than I expect. Today it looked low (78.1), so I clicked the link on the widget that took me to the weatherbug site. Well the temperature listed on that page was different than the temp on the widget. It showed 86.6.
It looks like perhaps the widget only reaches out for the temperature rarely. So it doesn't get the updated temperature on each page load and shows the last temperature it received that might have been hours ago. Can it be set up to have a more current reading?
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
The current temperatures are updated every 10 minutes while the forecast is updated every hour. The most likely culprit is the weather station you're using. The widget displays two locations. The large text is your general location, and the smaller text below is the location of the weather station. RA finds the nearest station to the location you provided. "Springfield, OR" might yield a different station from "123 Main St, Springfield, OR".
When you're comparing to the Weather Bug's temperature, check to see if it's using the same weather station. Weather Bug might pick a different station even when you click on the weather link because their page only displays by city. You can always change the location in the weather widget to that of the weather station from Weather Bug.
That was it!
Thanks, Eric.

I've received a number of requests recently for the Debian package of DrScheme to include pre-built zo files. Before agreeing to this, I had a few questions: 1. Are *.zo files platform independent? (I.e., could *.zo files generated on an x86 system work on a PowerPC system?) 2. I imagine *.zo files are configuration-dependent (i.e., presence or omission of certain packages will render certain *.zo files nonfunctional). Thanks, -Brent

Suprised you how? I hope it was a shock of how pathetic he was. He's the safety, CB's don't hang him out to dry, he hangs them out to dry. He was utterly terrible. CB's don't cause a FS to take terrible angles or misplay passes.
And with what money would be paying Mike Wallace? lol That's not gonna happen. Josh was still unhealthy from his stint with the 49ers. I think you'll get that "explosion" back with him being healthy this coming year.
Hankerson due to injury and the lockout has never had a full offseason. We'll see if this helps him with his route running. Which would help with "explosion". And FYI Hankerson had the best percentage on the team in regards to number of passes dropped...
The road to the number 1 pick gaining speed!

Haha Williams surprised me bc my brother is a big Vikings fan so I knew how terrible he was. I was only dreaming with Wallace. It'd be nice to try and trade someone to get some money, but we don't really have anyone with much trade value that we don't need. I have high hopes for Hank. I'm a big fan of him. Liked him in college. Our receivers has a whole are good, they just gotta stay healthy and not throw the ball at other players in order for us to win. Lol


text: Four Hours of Freedom for Escaped Inmate News Published: 03 July 2014 About four hours of freedom came for an inmate who escaped custody yesterday in Watauga County, his freedom ending with a swim in Price Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock. Michael Lee Calloway, 39, of Buncombe County, a Caldwell Correctional Center inmate, was discovered to be missing some time after 2 yesterday afternoon from a work detail on a paving crew on Old Turnpike Road, according to the Watauga Sheriffs Office, Calloway last seen around noon. The reverse 9-1-1 call went out to residents in the area of Foscoe to Blowing Rock while the Watauga Sheriffs Office called for High Country Radio to again ask for folks to secure their vehicles and lock their doors. It was the second such call of the week, with a suspect managing to flee an Alexander Deputy Monday, causing a lockdown and a manhunt that ended in Virginia. For Michael Lee Calloway, it was a bit less dramatic, but he will face new escape charges to go along with his habitual felon status, with larceny, larceny of a motor vehicle, robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a deadly weapon and felony breaking and entering convictions, according to the N.C. Department of Public Safety. Calloway had been due for release in May 2016. fShare Tweet Print Email Prev Next

2012 Year in Review: Top 10 Celebrity Newsmakers
Kate Middleton
As the newest royal of England's monarchal family, Kate Middleton has quite a reputation to uphold. So when topless photos surfaced of the queen-to-be, it caused more controversy than Harry's family jewels on display. Later on in the year, Middleton announced her pregnancy and became a permanent fixture in the news. Things took a turn for the worse when the Duchess was hospitalized for Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a serious morning sickness. Soon after, a distasteful media prank intended to infiltrate the privacy of the Duke and Duchess, allegedly resulted in the suicide of listening board nurse Jacintha Saldanha.

The stage was set for one of the highlights of the Saudi football season when Jeddah rivals Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad met in the finals of the King's Cup of Champions at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah on Friday. Presenting a strong lineup during the game was Toyota's sole distributor in Saudi Arabia, Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJ) showcasing two of its stars the FJ Cruiser and Sequoia.
"The game was special not only because it was the final but because of the long-standing rivalry between both teams. With the stadium packed to capacity the game was the perfect platform for us," said Adel Mohammed Ezzat, Toyota Marketing Director of the SUV division at ALJ. "I want to congratulate both teams not only for their performance today but throughout the Cup. Both sides reached the finals due their quality, strength and durability, three attributes that we clearly relate to our brand."
Ezzat added: "Football is the most popular sport in the Kingdom and admired by all age groups. Football is all about Joy and so is Toyota. An occasion like the King's Cup final represents an excellent occasion to communicate with and be close to our customers who are football lovers."
Toyota is an iconic brand trusted by generations of Saudi customers and their families. Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has been present in Saudi Arabia since 1955 in a legendary partnership with ALJ, the sole distributor of Toyota brands in the Kingdom, providing its customers with excellence which is supported by the strength and breadth of ALJs kingdom-wide network of sales outlets and service centers.

Last week Glenbrook conducted an "Opportunities in B2B Payments" workshop in New York City. Erin McCune and I led the workshop, which was attended by product strategists from card networks, NACHA, The Clearing House, major banks, processors, software and service providers and payments start-up companies. The group had significant experience in B2B payments and shared a common interest in understanding the "gating factors" that apparently constrain the rate at which B2B payments are moving from checks to electronics. (Today nearly three-quarters of B2B payments remain stubbornly paper check.)
Some of the more interesting discussions during the two-day workshop were around these topics:
- What model will succeed when it comes to supplier directories? If a company wants to tell its customers to pay it electronically, will it always have to contact each customer and make bilateral arrangements? Is it reasonable to imagine that there might be a cross-payment system directory? ("pay me with ACH like this, I accept these cards, send wire transfers here"). If so, it seems more likely to succeed if it is self-provided data – but what about data privacy? Could more industry acceptance of UPIC (or a UPIC like structures) enable this concept? One participant suggested that "what we need is a LinkedIn for businesses."
- How can marketplace confusion be reduced? Many companies appear to be bewildered by the numerous different options, and the lack of common terminology for them (exactly what is "EFT"? "buyer initiated payments"?). Could industry collaboration on terminology (what we talked about as "brand with a small 'b' " – see previous post on this topic here) help? How about a standardized set of trade terms specifically referencing EFT payments?
- It appears that the work on remittance data standards in both the EDI and XML worlds may start to bear fruit as more companies send, and more accounting packages are equipped to handle, standardized remittance data. Might a company's preferences for remittance data be lodged as a callable service in a supplier director?
- There was broad agreement that the intersection of small business payments and cross border payments represented an interesting opportunity. Will the successful solutions to the payments requirements of small businesses sourcing (or selling) abroad be delivered out of bank-centric payments systems, or, perhaps, by the non-bank eCommerce oriented payments solutions?
- Streamlining the procure-to-pay process enables companies to take advantage of early payment discounts, generating significant returns through A/P efficiency. In the current economic climate, these discounts, and more robust dynamic discounting capabilities, have become increasingly important as a means for powerful buyers to sustain their supplier networks.
- Funding and IT resources for corporate back-office improvement efforts often remains elusive when competing with the revenue side of the company. Yet, electronic payment and automated receipt of payment-related remittance data, provides a wealth of sales and supply-chain information that can drive increased revenue and reduce costs.
If you are interested in contributing to this discussion, post your comments here or contact either myself or Erin McCune.

Stunt driver Scott McLean is currently recovering from serious injuries in a Thailand hospital after a stunt went wrong on December 17.
A stunt performer has been seriously injured during a production of "The Hangover 2" in Thailand, reports say. Queensland-raised stunt driver Scott McLean is reportedly in coma after involved in an accident on the set of the film on December 17.
Words are, McLean was performing a stunt which went awry when two cars traveling at high speed crashed into each other in Bangkok as part of the stunt. It is said that McLean was taken to a hospital in Bangkok. There is no word on how the accident affects the shooting.
Following the success of 2009 "The Hangover" which was mainly set in Las Vegas, "The Hangover 2" is made with Todd Phillips still tackling the helming duty. Beside filmed in Thailand, the sequel is also shot in Los Angeles.
Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Ken Jeong return to reprise their respective roles. The upcoming comedy is slated to be dropped in the U.S. on Memorial Day or May 26, 2011.

UPDATE 16.35 TWO teenage girls seriously injured after their car smashed into a tree in Worcester are now in a stable condition.
Both Sophia Carini-Morgan and Rubey Devlin remain in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after the car accident near Suckley on Sunday night.
A third friend, Tyler Smith, has returned home after being treated in Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
TWO teenage girls remain seriously ill in a coma today after their car smashed into a tree near Worcester.
Sophia Carini-Morgan and Rubey Devlin were in a Mini when it left the road and hit a tree at 8pm on Sunday night.
Miss Carini-Morgan was dragged from the wreckage of the car minutes before it burst into flames.
Both she and Miss Devlin remained in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, last night where their condition was described as critical but stable.
A third friend, Tyler Smith, is being treated at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
The three friends were travelling towards Suckley Road along Sherridge Road in Leigh Sinton at around 8pm when the Mini they were in went out of control, hitting a tree before ending up in a field.
Two of the girls managed to get out of the car while Miss Carini-Morgan had to be pulled out by a hero passer-by moments before it burst into flames.
Leandra Smith, Tyler's mother, said: "They all blacked out when they hit the tree. Tyler came round and realised what had happened and tried to wake the other girls.
"She got Rubey awake but couldn't wake Sophia. She said, 'We have got to get out'. They crawled out of the car. Tyler then went to the road and flagged a car down.
"They came down and got Sophia out of the car just before it caught alight. Then Tyler blacked out again. She had to have reconstructive surgery.
"Tyler was actually very brave and thank you to the people who helped the girls after the accident."
The driver of the car, Miss Carini-Morgan, aged 18, who lives locally, suffered serious head injuries in the crash and is currently in an induced coma.
The back seat passenger of the car, Miss Devlin, 19, of Worcester, was treated for abdominal and pelvic injuries and immobilised and given pain relief and is also in a coma.
Miss Smith, 19, of Spetchley, near Worcester, was travelling in the front seat and had injuries to her face and ankle.
Yesterday it was unclear where the girls were heading when the crash happened.
The police are appealing for anyone who saw the blue mini before the incident or witnesses that haven't come forward to contact them by calling 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting incident number 550S 11/11/12 .
