Need suggestions on Cruise choice and options

Inside vs. outside.
Inside is a better deal in my opinion for a couple reasons. Yes, as stated, you are only sleeping, bathing and changing clothes in your stateroom. (Well, let's leave the other options to the imagination.)
However an ocean view is exactly that! 90 % of the time you see ocean. Ocean and sea-air combined? Well that is another story. Nothing compares to a balcony suite or "veranda" as some lines call it.
Having your first coffee of the day on the balcony is a pleasure that can not be easily described. But you didn't ask about the balcony option. Your first cruise? Okay, take the ocean view and enjoy it! That was our first experience and it was great. Your options may be limited with the time you have so plan on either, as long as it gets you out on the high seas!
Many of us who cruise regularly are up with the sun to watch the ship come alongside in various ports. The porthole or window is okay, but it is only a view from one side and a very "flat" view! The sun deck gives you a multi-sensory experience with sight, sound and smells that you don't get from your stateroom!

Crow found in Pierce County tests positive for West Nile virus
A dead crow found in Pierce County has tested positive for West Nile virus, the Pierce County Health Department reported. This is the first bird to test positive for the disease in Pierce County since surveillance began May 1.
"The positive bird means that residents of Pierce County need to be more vigilant in their personal protective measures to prevent mosquito bites," Public Health Director and health officer Sue Galoff said. The virus is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes, which get the disease by feeding on infected birds.
Most people who are infected with West Nile do not get sick. Those who do typically experience fever, headache, muscle ache and fatigue. Less than 1 percent become seriously ill, but older adults and those with compromised immune systems are at a greater risk for more serious effects.
To eliminate mosquito breeding grounds and avoid exposure to the disease, the health department recommends a number of measures, including wearing insect repellant, limiting time outside at dawn and dusk, making sure to empty items that might collect standing water and trimming tall grass, weeds and vines.

Reviews for Spicy Chicken Tenders
Average Rating
"Excellent recipe, my husband absolutely LOVED it and it's become a "regular" on our menu. It is so easy to prepare, too! I've actually been cooking it in a pan on the stovetop and that has worked out well, I keep it covered so that I don't lose the juiciness of the chicken. I also marinate in a glass or stainless bowl for 30+ minutes and I like the amount of spice it retains. I've been serving it with a garlic brown rice and quinoa mix as well as ~12oz of edamame (soybeans) that I saute with a tablespoon of butter, some minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of sriracha sauce. It ends up being a flavorful, filling, healthy meal that fills the kitchen with a delicious aroma. easy + healthy + delicious = a keeper for me!"
"This was amazing. Will make again!!"
"its delicious and yummy"

NEVER LET ME GO Director Mark Romanek to Helm THE SHINING Prequel?
Variety writes that Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go) is in negotiations to helm Warner Bros. upcoming prequel to THE SHINING, titled OVERLOOK HOTEL. THE WALKING DEAD's Glenn Mazzara has been tapped as scribe.
Read the original news here.
OVERLOOK HOTEL will center on the original owner of the Rocky Mountain hotel, which was featured in Stephen King's novel and the Jack Nicholson-led 1980 film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick. The owner, Bob T. Watson, is "a robber baron at the turn of the 20th century" who "scaled the remote peaks of the Colorado Rockies to build the grandest resort in America, and a place he and his family would also call home".
The script will be based on a prologue King wrote before the final version of THE SHINING was published in 1977. Last year, King published a sequel to THE SHINING called DR. SLEEP.
Romanek is working on the new TV series The Whispers and the film adaptation of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Among his other directing credits are Never Let Me Go and One Hour Photo.

I am not a doctor. Get that out of the way first.
I've been through several mostly unrelated jobs (including, but not limited to: gallery, gay bar, publishing house, paddle steamer, and a gentleman's outfitter), before settling down over a year ago and running a coffee shop in my local library. I then lost everything (profession- and finance-wise) to a nasty piece of council bureaucracy and a bad contract, and have since been clawing my way back up from nothing.
Stories are important to me, and I can appreciate most anything in life if a good story can be made from it. Or at least a good laugh, anyway.
I don't read or write as much as I feel I should, I have more suits than is probably reasonable, and I drink what I feel is exactly the right amount of tea.
Working nights at a hotel, working days at an amateur theatre company. Writing another play. Saving to go overseas.
I'm also looking into tailoring; I have experience in pattern making and hand sewing, so that's a painful part out of the way already.
Making a good cup of tea.
Knitting, but I can't crochet to save my life.
Fussing over trivial things (good grief, I'm an old lady).
Keeping my middle name a secret.
Being surprisingly warm.
Smelling nice (I am told this semi-regularly).
Backgammon (this is a lie).
Catch-22, Douglas Adams, Joe Abercrombie, Dianna Wynne Jones, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, Neil Gaiman, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, The Brain That Changes Itself, Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler, lots of YA fiction.
Big Fish, Hayao Miyazaki, Wes Anderson, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Confessions, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
Bryan Fuller (especially Pushing Daisies), The Venture Brothers, Archer, Gravity Falls, Boardwalk Empire, Black Books Misfits, Ugly Americans, Rocko's Modern Life, Louis Theroux.
Pretty much anything served to me
Tea is a food
At least one suit, for whatever occasion
Probably the Internet?
Knitting needles
And a plot hole
Wait that answer wasn't funny. Great, what do I do now?

Stop Me & Buy One by Trevor Mitchell contains four high quality 500 piece jigsaw puzzles by Gibsons.Completed puzzle size: 35 x 48On a warm afternoon in July, an ever popular ice cream salesman is enjoying some brisk business as he pedals his wafers, cornets and ice lollies to sell to locals in the village. The four jigsaw puzzles beautifully portray the story of his journey, from the river where residents flock for a picnic and a dip in the cool water, to the busy funfair.As with all Gibsons jigsaws, the carefully illustrated pieces are made from the highest quality 100% recycled board and are therefore a pleasure to work with again and again.Trevor Mitchell left Bradford Art College in 1979 with a Diploma in Art and Design. He subsequently began his career as an art director at a London advertising agency. In 1986 Trevor went freelance. Commercial illustration work rekindled his love of painting and he was encouraged by finding a market for his work among the publishers of greeting cards and jigsaw puzzles. Trevor's paintings reflect his enthusiasm for steam and vintage vehicles and his fascination with recreating the past in pictures appears frequently in Gibsons' nostalgic puzzle range.

In the latest ESPN rankings Frankie Edgar still holds the number two spot. Once again, respected Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez fails to make it to the second spot in the poll. Interesting to note is Mike Chandler's position on the list tied with fan boy favorite Clay Guida. Maybe it was Guida's lackluster performance against Maynard?
Here is the complete list:
1. Benson Henderson 17-2-0
2. Frankie Edgar 14-3-1
3. Gilbert Melendez 21-2-0
4. Gray Maynard 11-1-1
5. Nate Diaz 16-7-0
6. Anthony Pettis 15-2-0

New Independent Test Favours Avast!
This new test looks at a bunch of recent releases and attempts to test their effectiveness in "real world" situations. Of the freeware included, only Avast! scored above average. The test was sponsored by Symantec ... although worth reading this too.
You can download the full report (PDF) from the link towards the bottom of their page.

The test was sponsored by Semantic and their product did the best. These kinds of tests are so easy to fudge that they really need to be done by independent 3rd parties.
On the other hand, Avast! didn't sponsor it and they did pretty good. Actually, none of the popular free anti-virus programs did bad.

I don't know which tests are honest or not but when a company sponsors
some tests and they come on top, I just scratch my head a little bit in
disbelief. If a testing company send samples to some participants and not
to others is like a teacher giving the questions out before a exam to some
students in advance but not to all the students. I am not saying that's
what happened here but that's what I read about those other tests that
were discussed here a few days ago. Not good, so now I only look at them
for what they worth. Casi Nada.

I know a lot of people pay attention to these tests... but to me they are all meaningless... what I mean is that all these tests fighting over 0.1-1.0% then claiming to be the best... for me that much is the same as a margin of error meaning I view the results all as if they were the same. Being 99.99% and 99% or even 97% will still give the user the same lvl of protection.
Maybe one of you can explain how it's matters, but if I have to one rated at 99.9% with max settings then I'd most likely change settings to make it more user friendly thus lowering it from the 99.9%. If using a more friendly but rated at 97% antivirus means I can keep the settings and it will stay 97%. So in end both will be around same lvl of detection. Or is my logic flawed?

Coming from Zallag founder David Jeuvideo...
"The situation was complicated. Our games came out at a time when nothing was happening on the Wii. So even being in the top of the sales charts, we didn't gain anything in terms of money. Most journalists don't even review games from the on-line store. It was difficult to know our games from WiiWare."
The company ended up losing money on their digital products, and thus the company folded. Now we have the full explanation as to why the company's games have been yanked from WiiWare! Thanks to NintenDaan for the heads up.

The Supreme Court of Victoria intervened to allow Minardi to run cars that race stewards had deemed illegal.
If the court acted lawfully the FIA would decide "if a world championship event of any kind can ever again be held in Australia", a statement said.
The FIA is angry the judge intervened without hearing its case.
"The stewards of the Australian Grand Prix and the FIA were given no notice of these proceedings and were given no opportunity to be present when the judge heard the case," the statement said.
"Apparently the judge thought it right to interfere with the running of a major sporting event, overrule the duly appointed international officials and compel the governing body to allow cars to participate in breach of the international regulations - all this without first hearing both sides of the case."
Minardi boss Paul Stoddart said earlier on Saturday that threats made to the future of the Australian Grand Prix had been a factor in his decision to end the legal battle.
He said: "No threats were made to me at all. Threats were made to the Australian Grand Prix and threats were made on what it would do and the precedent it would set in international motorsport.
"I'm not doing anything to interfere with this Grand Prix and I'm certainly not going to be accused of interfering in the long-term future of motorsport."
Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief Ron Walker said the issue would be raised by the Australian representative and FIA vice-president John Large at the next meeting of the FIA's World Motor Sport Council later this month.
Walker said the issue raised by FIA in its statement "clearly have implications for many other countries which host rounds of the FIA Formula One world championship."

Berlin France's Finance Minister,
"There is one subject where Germany's image is certainly bad," Mr Moscovici told students at the Free University in Berlin. "Germany wins too often at soccer, particularly now in the Champions League."
The Champions League final does not kick off for more than two weeks but in a development that feels all too fitting under the circumstances, Germany has already won. Two German clubs, Dortmund's Borussia from the Ruhr Valley and Munich's Bayern from deepest Bavaria, will face off for the European title, which means the nationality of the champion is assured.
German media are calling it the "dream final".
The daily newspaper Berliner Kurier summed up the mood in Germany in a front-page headline: "We versus us".
"One thing is certain, Germany wins," Chancellor
Of course, a game is just a game but when the game in question is European soccer, it tends to be viewed as a Rorschach test for the health and confidence of nations. The success on the field of German teams has helped reinforce the broader narrative of Teutonic dominance that has emerged during the long-running debt crisis.
Germany's sharemarket is riding high, its jobless rate remains low, and the continent's best and brightest are moving to the region in droves.
Attitudes towards Germany in Europe are more complicated than they would seem from the images of angry protesters waving signs with swastikas on the streets of Athens.
Germany, with Europe's largest economy, is viewed not only with resentment but with a mixture of apprehension, envy and admiration, informed by a belief the Germans have cracked the code of how to compete in the globalised world, coupled with an uncertainty about whether their efficient, export-driven economic model can be replicated.
Much the same is true with soccer. After Bayern trounced Spain's Barcelona, for the second time in a row last week, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera wrote "the lesson of order and talent goes beyond soccer".
In Britain, the cover of the New Statesman magazine this week features Dr Merkel and German soccer star Bastian Schweinsteiger with the question: "Why can't we be more like Germany?"
Europeans are voting with their feet.
Germany's government statistics office reported on Tuesday that 2012 saw the largest net gain in migration in 17 years.
Nearly 1.1 million people moved to Germany last year, with rising numbers of job seekers arriving from crisis-stricken countries and Eastern Europe.
Nationwide, unemployment is just 5.4 per cent.
On Tuesday, Germany's main stock index, the benchmark DAX, hit an all-time high.
Spain is losing not just engineers and software designers to Germany but also players and coaches.
Pep Guardiola, Barcelona's former coaching genius, announced this year he would move to Germany to coach Bayern.
A decade ago, the idea of a coach like Guardiola leaving Spain for Germany would have seemed absurd.

Rugby Tours – Big Rugby Enthusiast Tells You Why You Should Consider Rugby Tours to Argentina
Are you a huge rugby buff? Well, how about going to a place that has produced some of the biggest rugby players of international recognition? Argentina is exactly this, the tourist spot that is an absolute must for any demanding rugby fan. It's no wonder tourists are showing interest in rugby tours.
There are lots of reasons to book rugby tours to Argentina, whether you like rugby or not, but especially for rugby fans, the country has a certain charm. Argentina currently is ranked fourth in the International Rugby Board World Rankings, just below New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. At the Rugby World Cup in France last year, Argentina defeated France (the locals!) to finish at a historic third place. Argentinian fans went wild all over the country. Argentina has bred some of the best rugby stars in the world, for example, Agustin Pichot and Felipe Contepomi, the second top point scorer in the last Rugby World Cup. Now more than ever before, people in Argentina are crazy about rugby.
If you really want to make the most of everything the place has to offer, there are several optional things to do. You can tour the fabulous city of Buenos Aires and know more about its fascinating historical background. The city is a true melting pot of cultures and nationalities, and this is clearly perceived in its buildings, cuisine, and people. There are popular spots in areas like Palermo Hollywood and Palermo So-Ho. If you´re looking for something a little less modern and noisy, and more distant from city life, you should spend a day at a traditional "estancia", where you´ll enjoy some of the more typical Argentinian customs like horseback riding.
Then there´s the most appetizing food. You´ll partake of the tastiest barbecue or "asado", as it is called in Argentina, world-famous for its unique flavor. And this is not an exaggeration. The actual preparation is a ritual in itself, and Argentinians are very proud of their barbecuing skills, which they´ve honed to perfection usually with some advice passed down from generation to generation. The meat is of such top-notch quality, you´ll find it slices like butter.
Finally, there´s the economic advantage you can´t ignore. The favorable exchange rate of 3 pesos to a dollar, makes rugby tours to Argentina an opportunity you can´t miss. You´ll be able to enjoy a variety of activities, from dinner at trendy restaurants to shopping for original leather products, at unbeatable prices. So, if you are a big rugby buff and want to live a once-in-a-lifetime experience, do not hesitate to book rugby tours to Argentina today.

The Town of Carefree welcomed world renowned artist and sculptor, Ray Villafane, back to create sand art like no other within the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion, Carefree Desert Gardens.
This 30 ton masterpiece of the Tortellini Brothers took 30 days to complete and will stayed preserved with a little water and glue lightly sprayed upon it's surface. The silt was sourced from the Arizona Salt River, filtered, mixed with water and tamped to provide a consistency worthy of sculpting.

I recently asked Ali Hanyaloglu, Acrobat Product Evangelist and Leonard Rosenthol, PDF Standards Architect to help me out with an article on PDF standards and the various viewer technologies out there. Here's what they've got to say…
By now many of you would have heard about the standards called ISO 19005-1 and ISO 15930-3 – that's PDF/A-1 and PDF/X-3 to most of us. These standards take the published PDF specifications as originally developed by Adobe, and then define what parts from those specifications are both required and restricted for specific workflows. That is, the long-term archiving of electronic documents, and the blind exchange of materials intended for press and high-quality printing, respectively. These standards ensure that there are no surprises when the documents are viewed and printed, such as incorrectly encoded or non-embedded fonts, or colors shifting when printed.
For the same reasons, these ISO standards also define how conforming PDF/A and PDF/X viewing applications (called "conforming readers" by the standards) should behave. Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 9 are examples of conforming readers by following all of the rules required by the ISO 19005-1 and ISO 15930-3 standards, including the proper handling of color. Unfortunately, some non-Adobe PDF viewing tool providers may claim to support PDF/A and PDF/X standards when that is clearly not the case. Understanding and implementing document standards like PDF/A and PDF/X requires a lot of expertise, development and testing (and contributions to the open working groups help too!)
To show you how PDF/A and PDF/X conforming and non-conforming viewing applications differ in their display of documents, here is an example test file. A "litmus test", if you like.
The test file is a PDF document that was originally an image of a blue-green bottle and now conforms with the PDF/A-1b specification (Adobe Acrobat 9.x Pro and Pro Extended can verify that for you).
When viewed in Adobe Reader 9 or Adobe Acrobat 9, the bottle appears purple. Note that PDF/A viewing mode will need to be turned on in the preferences, which is the default…
When viewed in a non-conforming PDF viewer, the bottle appears blue-green.
Wait! Isn't that backwards?
Actually, no. PDF/A-1 (and PDF/X-3) require that an ISO standards 'conforming reader' use the ICC profile that is included in the file's OutputIntent as the "working space" profile when viewing and printing. In this case, the OutputIntent profile isn't RGB (Red Green Blue) but GBR. So, although visually the file looks "wrong" in Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 9, it is technically correct and displaying the document with the file-specified color space, as defined by the international standards. The same would happen with a PDF/X-3 file.
Non-Adobe PDF viewers that don't conform to the international standard would ignore the OutputIntent profile and display the document as RGB.
You can download these PDF/A-1 and PDF/X-3 files and test this out for yourself here.
This is just one possible test. There are other viewing requirements that are part of the international standards. This includes ensuring that the embedded fonts in the PDF file are used instead of local, OS, or printer-based copies (for both PDF/A and PDF/X); making annotations read-only and then displaying tool-tips for them (PDF/A); special handling of grayscale information, and more.
What does this all mean to you? Non-conforming viewers are introducing a risk factor to your workflows, and may not be displaying or printing what was originally intended, whether that is now or well into the future. As stated earlier, standards-conforming applications offer you peace of mind and no surprises.

How's everyone doing? I'm doing pretty good here its been a little while since I wrote a blog with some real substance to it.So what are you all playing?Is there anything that's not video game related that your really looking forward to?Read any great books lately? Seen any cool movies? lol! I just curious how MY IGN has been. Here's what I'm looking forward to and here's a few games that I'm looking forward to and a couple great books I'm reading.
What I'm playing.
First game that's really got me Hooked is Darksiders 2 holy crap this game is epic its pretty much one part Legacy of Kain one part Legend of Zelda and One part God Of War if you havent checked it out yet I really recommend it.
I just picked up The Ratchet and Clank Trilogy today and man o man its great to see all three of them in HD, there easily some of the best games ever and I personally would take the old trilogy over any of the new R&C games I have nothing against the new games but there's just something special about the original trilogy.
What games I'm looking forward to.
Now there's some fantastic looking games this Christmas,Halloween,Thanksgiving season. But 4 games really stick out and they are Dishonored, Okami HD,Assassins Creed 3 and Halo 4. First up is Dishonored every time I see the game in action all I cant think of is how awesome it looks, it looks like a mix of Bioshock,Half-Life 2 and Thief all mixed into one bad ass looking game.
Now the next game that I'm really looking forward to is Okami HD I've beat Okami on the Ps2 at least 3 times and when I learned that it was making its way to the Ps3 in HD with Move support and Trophy's I squealed like a school girl at a Justin Bieber concert lol! I love the hell out of Okami and I cant wait to see it in HD.
I'm also really hyped for Assassins Creed 3 the more I see of it the more hyped I get, it looks truly next gen and I cant wait to get my hands on it.
Last but not least Halo 4 Halo has been one of my favorite series sense Halo CE came out in 2001 and the thing that get's me so excited is its a fresh start for one of my favorite franchises.
I just got the chance to watch Super 8 the other night and really loved it, the best way I could describe it was Cloverfield meets the Goonies and highly recommend watching it.
Thanks for reading everybody I hope everyone is doing great.

Obamacare employee notices required by October 1, 2013
By Roger Kramer, CPA, CITPAugust 20, 2013
Unless there is further action by the Obama administration delaying implementation of the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, employers are required to provide notices by October 1, 2013 (date open enrollment begins) to employees regarding the Health Insurance Marketplace (also known as the health care insurance Exchange). Notices must provide coverage options to each employee, regardless of plan enrollment status or of part-time or full-time status.
Model notices are provided by the US Dept of Labor for employers who offer a health plan to some or all employees and for employers who do not offer a health plan.
For employers that do not offer coverage or offer coverage that does not meet an affordability test, employees may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers their costs of purchasing insurance through the Exchange. The credit applies if the employer's health plan does not meet a minimum value standard under which the plan's share of total benefits' costs are no less than 60 percent of such costs, or the plan cost is more than 9.5 percent of household income for the year.
Employers subject to this notice requirement include those who are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. In general, this applies to employers with one or more employees who are engaged in interstate commerce. For most firms, a test of not less than $500,000 in annual dollar volume of business applies. See DOL Technical Release No. 2013-02

This issue is the proverbial dead horse.
Every PR and social media wonk in America is chiming in on the issue. If you don't know the issue by now, don't bother reading this post because I am not going to rehash it. I've almost had my fill, or in this case, fil-a.
I've been involved (mostly) in some really good, intelligent, non-emotional conversations about the flap online. Mostly with public relations and social business pros from around the country. Many liberal, many conservative; some gay and some straight. Some religious and some agnostic.
The one thing I have been repeating and reminding everyone who is jumping onto the "this makes a great case study" bandwagon is this: Chick-fil-A, whether you agree with them or not, is sticking to its corporate values which have not changed since the founding of the company. Why would anyone be surprised. The righteous indignation from folks on both sides of the argument are so hollow I'm pretty sure their intellectual dishonesty will set back debate yet again in this country. This is a tailor-made activist driven crisis. Brands should take notice not for the steps the company did or did not take, but instead should understand that at anytime, activist groups can hijack your brand and do some damage no matter what the issue is.
It's also ironic that folks like us (PR and social business pros) preach to corporate executives to be honest, open, and transparent. Hell, we even tell them to make sure they're being themselves. Then, when they are, if it's politically incorrect, or doesn't skew a certain way, we crucify them. Are we jackals or professionals? Let's walk the talk ladies and gentlemen.
This post isn't to defend or rebut the gay marriage argument. I'm not entering that fray because I tend (in recent years) to keep my own views to myself. There's something to be said for just shutting your mouth once in a while. If you know me, you know I have strong beliefs but I've grown and learned from sometimes opening my mouth too much. I have no desire to "convince" the populace to agree with me.
I support anyone who decides they don't want to spend money with brands who support (or don't support) causes important to them. We live in a free market society – you can spend your money wherever you want with whomever you want. So those who are upset at Chick-fil-a over this, don't go there. That's fine. But that sort of "I'll only spend my money with brands/businesses that support my causes and political views" is a very, very slippery slope. If you're going to be that values driven with your commerce, you better start doing hours of research over where the companies you do business with spend their energy, money. I have seen lots of folks say they won't go to these restaurants anymore because of this one issue. But I'd be interested to see if they are as upset and stop frequenting other businesses who support that point of view.
As I said in some Twitter and Facebook posts: if you only do business with those who have your same world view or belief set, you might find yourself unable to shop or dine anywhere.
The issue of free speech is also front and center here. Some who support gay marriage argue this amounts to "hate" speech or homophobia. Those on the other side say this is an attack on free speech. After all, the Reverend Wrights of the world, Rush Limbaugh, Louis Farakhan, Michael Moore – they all say things 50% or more of the poplulation thinks is ludicrous, insulting and inflammatory. Yet not all are treated with the focus and vitriol we're seeing in this case.
I don't know about you, but even the people who say things I find disgusting I feel compelled to defend. Freedom of speech in this country (from many fringe factions) has been under attack for decades in this country. This is another example of it, I am afraid.
I'm just sick of the intellectually dishonesty and grandstanding being done by both sides in this case. Stop trying to convince everyone you're right and wrong and just live your life how you see fit. Let Dan Cathy believes what he wants. If it hurts his business – which I doubt – then he'll have to deal with that. But it's his business to run the way he wants.
Even if you don't agree on his stance.

Action filmmaker Michael Bay is reportedly onboard to direct for "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time", Disney's big screen adaptation of the Ubisoft hit adventure video game.
This time, the fate of King Sharaman's son lies in the hand of Michael Bay. Yes, the action filmmaker is reported by IESB.net to have assumed helming duties for "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time", an adaptation of Ubisoft's popular third-person action adventure video game of the same name.
Developed under Walt Disney Pictures banner for a 2009 release, the movie is said to take some elements from the game to use them in building a new story in the vein of "Pirates of the Caribbean" film installments. It is expected to be the next big screen project of Bay after his highly anticipated feature "Transformers", which is set to hit theaters on July 4 this year.
In working on the script, writer of the original Jordan Mechner has penned the first draft of the screenplay for the feature film with subsequent drafts by Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Meanwhile, famed producer Jerry Bruckheimer has been confirmed to come onboard to co-produce via his Jeffrey Bruckheimer Films shingle alongside Chad Oman and Mike Stenson with John August executive producing.
Set in medieval Persia, the original presents a story about the prince who is tricked by a dying Vizier to unleash the Sands of Time that turns out to destroy a kingdom and transforms its populace into ferocious demons. In his effort to save his own kingdom and redeem his fatal mistake, the prince then teams up with a rival princess to return the sands to the hourglass by using the Dagger of Time, which also gives him a limited control over the flow of time

Ewen McKenzie will go back to the drawing board for the Wallabies' next Test, against South Africa, but may be constrained on selections after a disappointing performance from the bench on Saturday night.
McKenzie said the team would stick to running the ball despite another loss marred by errors in attack and defence, but said he expected better from his reserves.
''We didn't get a great impact out of our bench, I was expecting the last 20 minutes to be stronger and, in fact, we didn't get that impact,'' he said.
Four of the Wallabies' seven penalties were conceded in the final 25 minutes and the loss of loose-head prop James Slipper with a head knock before half-time didn't help.
Outside-centre Tevita Kuridrani, who replaced Adam Ashley-Cooper in the 62nd minute, led the lost-ball count, while forwards Kane Douglas and Sekope Kepu missed as many tackles as they made. ''You want guys who come on and actually improve the performance; it's no good if they're coming on and knocking-on and missing tackles, and that's effectively what happened,'' McKenzie said. ''Twenty-five per cent of our missed tackles came from the bench and that was disappointing. They were only on for the last 15 to 20 minutes. I expect more. We'll talk about that. I know we've got young players, new players, whatever, but I expect them to make a difference. Otherwise there's no point putting them on the field.''
The Wallabies' defensive problems were far more widespread than their reserves bench, and McKenzie acknowledged there was work to be done on the one-on-one encounters.
Five-eighth Matt Toomua and hooker Stephen Moore topped the missed-tackle numbers but were also among the top tacklers, while tight-head Ben Alexander missed a crucial hit on New Zealand blindside Steven Luatua, who passed to Ben Smith for one of the winger's two tries. ''We were disappointed with some of the one-on-one tackling and there's bits and pieces there we will tidy up. A couple of times it was too easy for them,'' McKenzie said.
And while there will be no wholesale changes to the Wallabies' fundamentals - the coach will stick to his guns on using the ball as much as possible - he appears to be keeping an open mind on selection.
''[South Africa are a] different team, different strategies,'' he said. ''[The] base game doesn't change but we'll have a different focus there, so that means we'll go back and have a look at the team again for sure.''
He appears to be backing young fullback Jesse Mogg, who improved on his starting debut but appeared to struggle at times. A few of his kicks were not as well executed as the Wallabies needed them to be and there were missed tackles.
McKenzie was noncommittal about the five-eighth jersey, saying Quade Cooper's chances of taking a starting spot were ''as good as anyone else's''.
Toomua was far more direct at No.10 on Saturday, while Christian Leali'ifano and wingers James O'Connor and Israel Folau made most of the runs.
''We're not going to shy away from the fact that we want to use the ball and use skill and the only way we're going to get better at that is by doing it,'' McKenzie said. ''You could shut things down and play field position, but the only way we're going to get better at using our skills is to play under pressure.''
He also put the loose forwards on notice, saying they could do better in their ''application'' at scrum time. But with a bye week to rest players and a week of preparation in Brisbane before the Wallabies meet the Springboks at Suncorp, McKenzie appeared reasonably relaxed about the task ahead. ''Philosophically we've moved into a new space, I'm quite pleased when I look at the numbers, the ball movement. We're actually using the full width of the field and all the players in the game are getting through the line and breaking tackles,'' he said.
''We ran a couple of hundred metres more than [New Zealand] did this week, we ran 400 metres more than they did last week. In the end we'll keep doing that, we'll get better at how we control the ball in those moments … we'll get pay out of that sooner or later.''

A Guide to MPEG-4
MPEG-4 (ISO14496) is an ISO/IEC standard developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). The first version of the MPEG-4 standard was finalized in October 1998 and became an international standard at the beginning of 1999. Although defined as one standard, MPEG-4 is actually a set of compression/decompression formats and streaming technologies that address the need for distributing rich interactive media over narrow and broadband networks.

Decision makers
- The Australian Senate
Stop Abbott's $7 GP Co-pay!
To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned Victorian Aboriginal community and other concerned citizens shows:
- Imposing a $7 Medicare co-payment on Doctor visits and medical tests (e.g. blood tests, ultrasounds, x-rays) will be bad for the health of all Australians but more so for the Aboriginal community.
- Introducing co-payments will not close the gap in health outcomes; it will widen the gap between Aboriginal people and the rest of the community.
- A co-payment will increase health care and administration costs for both Government and health care providers. This will leave less money to provide the community with the care they need because more is spent on administration.
- This will hurt the sickest and poorest people in our community. $7 means a lot more to the most disadvantaged among us, especially those in low-income households or with chronic illness.
- Discouraging people from visiting their GP will interfere with the early detection of illnesses and preventive action such as immunisation. There will be more illness in our community.
We ask that the Senate:
Oppose the implementation of the $7 Medicare co-payment.
How can I get involved in the campaign?
- Sign the VACCHO change.org petition
- Send a letter to your local MP or to the Prime Minister
- Tell your story of how you, your patients or your community will be affected at CoPayStories.com.au
- Let people know why you believe that the $7 co-payment is bad for your community
If you use Twitter:
- Tell your story with the hashtag #CoPayStories #CoPayNoWay
- Follow @VACCHO_org on Twitter and retweet us
- The Australian Senate
Oppose the implementation of the $7 Medicare co-payment

Dear ,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Just Answer.
Lumineers is a brand name of a special kind of veneer made of a patented porcelain material that is very tough and durable. For this reason, Lumineer veneers are made very thin, almost as thin as a contact lens, The advantage to a thin veneer is that very little, if any of the natural tooth has to be drilled down in order to place them on the teeth, so says the manufacturer. In reality, if you do not remove any tooth structure before cementing a thin shell of porcelain over the teeth, they will make the teeth thicker as they will "stick out" a bit. Lumineers cost about 75% to 100% of the cost of traditional veneers.
Traditional veneers are also made of porcelain but tend to be a bit thicker. Because of this, more tooth structure had to be removed in order to prevent the veneer from "sticking out" once cemented.
If you are considering veneers because you are unhappy with the shape and position of your teeth, then you want to go with traditional veneers. Changing the shape and position of your teeth will involve areas on the veneer that are thicker and wider in some areas than others, a trick you can not accomplish with contact lens thick Lumineers. If you just want to change the color of your teeth, then lumineers might be for you. Here are some links that will give you more information about Lumineers:
http://www.mynewsmile.com/cosmetic/Lumineers_cost.htm This is information explaining the shortcomings of Lumineers
http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/lumineers.html This is the Lumineer website that tells you how wonderful they are.
Take a look at both links and see what you think. I hope this answers your question.
If you have any concerns regarding this issue that I have not addressed, please let me know and I will get back to you with more information.
Sincerely, ***** ***** DDS


text: For now, the Fed's low rate policies seem to be a negative for earnings expectations on Wells Fargo. Management said on a conference call with analysts that although it is growing mortgage lending sharply in 2012, third quarter loan demand was less than expected. In fact, Wells Fargo's decision to put some mortgages on its balance sheet instead of selling them for added revenue could be seen as the bank ceding some third quarter earnings in an effort to minimize the blow of falling rates. The real question for Buffett and Wells Fargo investors is what to expect next? A housing recovery could continue to heat up and, on balance, outweigh the negatives of low rates - or Wells may continue disappoint after being a ballast to the banking sector. Were Buffett to stick it out on Wells Fargo, he could be seen as fighting the Fed on the impact of its policies on bank earnings. Were he to begin paring a near 8% stake in the lender, it could signal a big switch in his overall investing strategy. On Friday, KBW analyst Fred Cannon told CNBC that Wells Fargo's weakness can be attributed to the Fed and the analyst recommended capital markets focused players like Citigroup ( C), Goldman Sachs ( GS) and Morgan Stanley ( MS), echoing previous statements. Such a financial sector rotation would counter Buffett's post-crisis bank investing strategy, which was to put billions behind Main Street lenders like Wells over risky and volatile investment banks. Since the crisis, Buffett's been one of the most consistently right minded supporters of a recovery in U.S. stocks and the shares of America's traditional lenders. Meanwhile, amid a big 2012 market rally, he's also been correct to read the Fed's loose policies as reason to be invested in stocks over bonds . With Wells Fargo, Buffett's facing some Fed fire, even if his general consensus isn't to fight the central bank. Predicting Warren Buffett's next move is a fun but oftentimes futile effort; however, amid a hitch in the 'Oracle's' overall bank investing and 'bet on America' strategy, the biggest change may not come in his holding of Wells Fargo shares. Look for Buffett to take improving earnings per share math at Goldman Sachs as reason for him to begin putting money behind the common stock of Wall Street titans.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i was injured on the job and had surgury and and have now been told i have cervical spinal myalgy and boarder line parapelegic. I was told to seek a lawyer. I am not sure what i will need to ask and what to expect from the lawyer. can you give me some point and what to look for. thank you from bellingham, wa
first, you want to choose a lawyer that is reputable in the field of workers compensation/personal injury. for sure there is a workers compensation claim and there may be a third party suit depending on how and why the accident happened. billboards and telephone book ads are not always the best source. the local county bar association will have a referral list and the WA trial lawyers association will have a listing of injury lawyers. if you are a member of a union often there are other workers who have also been hurt and might have a name. when you meet the lawyer look for whether the person seems organized, clear, willing to listen and thoughtful. also check out the surroundings and the support staff. the lawyer should be able to answer any questions you have. good luck.Ask a similar question
When deciding what attorney to choose you want to know how long they have been practicing in worker's comp., have they been recognized as a "Super Lawyer" or "Best Lawyer". If the Washington State Bar has a worker's compensation and/or personal injury sections is the attorney a member of these sections. Also, does the attorney lecture at legal seminars on worker's compensation and/or personal injury matters. Finally, just because someone does not advertise that is not an indicator of their legal ability.
You should also check out their website and see if that have a profile here at Avvo and whether that have been endorsed by attorneys or clients. Most personal injury or worker's comp. attorneys offer free consultations.
Good luck.
A good place to start looking for a lawyer is to ask if a friend or family member has a lawyer they trust. While that lawyer may not know workers comp, they will likely know of an lawyer who does. Be aware a lot of good Washington workers comp attorneys will take cases all around the state, so don't worry so much about finding a local attorney. Instead, find a lawyer who focuses on workers compensation.
Any lawyer you hire should be knowledgeable about (a) your condition and (b) where you are in your claim. A good workers compensation lawyer knows about LNI (or the self-insured employer) and should be able to tell you how your case is progressing. The lawyer should also review records on your case before agreeing to be your lawyer, so they know that you actually need an attorney.
When you hire a lawyer, you are hiring someone to advocate and advise you. So make sure you are able to communicate well with the lawyer and their office, and that you trust the person. A good way to do that is not only to ask about your case but also about the lawyer's experience. I'd recommend asking about how much of the lawyer's practice is in workers comp, how long they have practiced, if they belong to any organizations providing training on workers comp issues, and if they hold malpractice insurance.Ask a similar question
"Workers' Compensation lawyers" and "personal injury lawyers" are two different types of lawyers. There is little to no overlap between those two areas of law. Since you got hurt at work, you need a "workers' compensation lawyer." Based on the facts you posted, you will not need a personal injury lawyer. Workers' comp is probably going to be your exclusive remedy. Choose your lawyer carefully. Look for good ratings on AVVO, a Martindale. com rating of "AV" and inclusion in either the Best Lawyers in America or Superlawyers or both.Ask a similar question
Answers by attorney's Peters and Bollinger above are spot on.
In addition, if you may never work again, you will want a workers compensation lawyer who can get you a pension. Pensions are the brass ring on the merry go round of L&I benefits.. Getting one can change your life for the better.

Now that my son's in third grade – well past the baby stage – my husband and I recently decided to test out a family game night. We've been playing games as a family for years, but we've never had a dedicated game night. And now that our son's at an age where his skills and abilities demand more challenging games, the games are a lot more fun for us!
I'm finding the things that are big hits around our house are the classics: those games that everyone remembers playing as a kid. Each one of these games is great not only for together time, but for learning. Plus, they're just good, cheap family entertainment!
- Dominoes is making a big comeback in our house. It's the perfect complement to times-table exercises for a gradeschool-aged child.
- Although it can run a little long sometimes, Monopoly is a great way to teach your child about money, especially if you let him or her play the banker.
- Charades is all about silly fun, but it's also proven to develop children's creativity and communication skills.
Our favorite new game, BananaGrams, has only been around since 2006 but feels like a classic already. Essentially, it's like a freeform version of Scrabble without the board or the points. The banana-shaped bag of tiles is perfect for bringing along with you, and it's great for reinforcing those spelling lessons!

It's JULY! Can you believe it? So, you know what that means — swim suits, cookouts, baseball games, and all the fun stuff that happens when it's warm out. The start of a new month also means another header for Brown Paper Bag. Hooray! This month, we have an illustration by the wonderful Sarah Jacoby. She's crafted an image perfect for the summer months, and I'm excited to share it with you today.
As always, the work is for sale in the Brown Paper Bag shop as a 4″ x 6″ print — perfect for framing! Grab one before they're all gone.
Here's some info on Sarah, who happens to be a grad school cohort of mine and an award-winning illustrator.
Name: Sarah Jacoby
Location: Philadelphia, but possibly soon to be Brooklyn/NY.
Website: thesarahjacoby.com
What was your dream job when you were 7 years old? I wanted to be everything all of the time. I think at age seven I was going through a forensic paleontology phase. I think I in truth I just liked saying those words out loud.
Your profession now: Illustrator! The best job.
What's your favorite thing to draw? Flora and fauna are my jam. You can see if I'm stuck on a piece if I have piles of papers with tiny vines drawn all over them.
What was the inspiration for this piece? I want to be at a swimming hole very badly now that its July. I'm currently stuck in the city. The pools aren't even open here. For a short period I lived in Austin, Texas for a summer and I will never forget their swimming hole situation. Very dreamy. For those who know Austin, I'm thinking of Hamilton Springs though there's no huge jumping cliff there.
How did you create your illustration? Was it any different than your regular process? I like to make little water colors on bristol paper, then scan them and digitally collage them. It's how I do most of my stuff. I didn't stray from the path this time.
How high do you reckon that tall cliff is? So high! I'm scared of heights, so this is basically my nightmare situation. I'd like to be a the little swimmer with the pink bathing cap though. Swimming in style.

Evidence against a late Wisconsinan ice shelf in the Gulf of Maine

Proposals for the formation of a late Wisconsinan ice shelf in the Gulf of Maine during the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet are considered to be inappropriate. An Antarctic-type ice shelf does not fit the field data that indicate temperate glacial, terrestrial, and marine climates for the region between 18 ka and 12 ka. A temperate ice shelf has no modern analogues and may be physically impossible. The preponderance of stratified drift in the Gulf of Maine region supports temperate climates during late Wisconsinan time. It also indicates that glacial meltwater, rather than ice in either an ice sheet or ice shelf, was the primary transport mechanism of glacial sediment and the source for the glaciomarine mud. For these reasons we have proposed glacial analogues for the deglaciation of the Gulf of Maine that consist of temperate or subpolar marine-based glaciers, characterized by depositional environments dominated by meltwater discharge directly to the sea or the sea by way of subaerial meltwater streams. These analogues include Alaskan fjord glaciers, glaciers on the Alaskan continental shelf that discharged meltwater directly into the sea in the not too distant past, and Austfonna (Nordaustandet, Svalbard, Norway) that is presently discharging meltwater in the sea along a grounded ice wall. This last example is the best modern-day analogue for the depositional environment for most of the glaciomarine mud in the Gulf of Maine and deglaciation of the Gulf.

Dwight Howard and co-captain Jameer Nelson want more freedom to police teammates during games, and Howard also wants Van Gundy to be less negative.
"Our job is to lead the guys on the court," Howard said Thursday, referring to himself and Nelson.
"We both have our ways that we lead the team, and they follow. The main thing is that people have to see that me and Stan are on the same page and we're not bumping heads. Then everything else will fall in line."
Van Gundy said he and his superstar agree more often than not.
"I think we both want to win badly, and I think that's the most important thing," Van Gundy said.

Hudson, Ohio Jo-Ann Stores said profits for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 soared to $8.6 million from $3.0 million in the year-ago period. The $8.6 million includes a $700,000 after-tax gain from the company's purchase of senior subordinated notes. Without that gain, profit for the quarter would have been $7.9 million.
Net sales for the first quarter rose 3.1% to $460.0 million, up from $446.1 million for the first quarter last year. Same-store sales rose 1%.
Internet sales, which comprise 2% of overall sales, rose nearly 16% to $9.5 million for the quarter.
"Jo-Ann Stores delivered solid operating results as we grew sales, expanded margins, improved earnings, and continued to reduce our debt," said chairman, president and CEO Darryl Webb, in a statement.
Jo-Ann plans to open about 20 new stores, close about 30 stores and remodel about 30 stores over the fiscal year.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
After I woke up, google.com was indexing the testboard for almost 8 hours. After thinking of how they found my testboard url, I realized that I had google adsense and urchin code on the testboard. Is there a way to remove what it had indexed? I'm worried about duplicate content. :( Please advise, thanks in advance.
PS I already blocked all spiders in /robots.txt with:
user-agent: *
Disallow: /
The advice given by G was to block the dual content you don't want to index, otherwise they choose one.
Of they choose for a short period of time the wrong one, remove your testboard to directory three and 301 to the real directory.
In fact why don't do this right now. 301 everything from the testboard to the real one and restart your test in another directory this time removing adsense.
I'm worried about duplicate content.
I wouldn't worry too much about duplicate content in this instance, and certainly wouldn't use a 301. If you've blocked any further crawling on the test board, I believe the pages will eventually go supplemental and then a long time later (a year) they will drop out of the index. In the meantime no harm will be done.
and certainly wouldn't use a 301
How does a 301 hinder crawling? :\
How can Webmasters proactively address duplicate content issues?
# Block appropriately: Rather than letting our algorithms determine the "best" version of a document, you may wish to help guide us to your preferred version. For instance, if you don't want us to index the printer versions of your site's articles, disallow those directories or make use of regular expressions in your robots.txt file.
# Use 301s: If you have restructured your site, use 301 redirects ("RedirectPermanent") in your .htaccess file to smartly redirect users, the Googlebot, and other spiders.
I placed the robots.txt inside the testboard folder.
Note that robots.txt can only be placed in the document root for your site, never in a folder - it will never be fetched from there. You should exclude the teastboard folder within your main robots.txt instead.

I am an educational statistic.
I started college later than most, at the age of 24. I had two young kids when I began, and balancing work, family, and school was difficult. It took me seven years to earn a four-year degree. My path involved community college, bouncing from one four-year school to another, attending part-time while pregnant with my third child, switching majors my junior year from biology to literature, and graduating with more credits than I needed.
It was a bumpy road, but I wouldn't change a thing. Life is filled with obstacles, victories, dead ends, delays, and detours. The hardships I faced while attending college, while challenging and severe, were nothing compared to the hardships I would have faced over a lifetime had I not finished my degree.
Here's the thing: stories like mine could be told across the country. The face of higher education in the U.S. is changing. "Non-traditional" students—students who are older, work full-time, or have families—are the new majority.
It's important that we understand the challenges of this diverse student body if we want to ensure all college students succeed. So, I want to introduce you to a few students who represent the changing face of higher education.
A Flexible Learning EnvironmentBill Gates recently traveled to Arizona, where he met Shawn Lee, a student at Rio Salado College in Tempe. After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. Shawn recently decided to finish his degree after having his first child. "I want to provide a good living for my son," Shawn told Bill.
Inspiring the Next GenerationMembers of our postsecondary education team had the opportunity to join Bill on his trip to Arizona, and we were able to connect with some inspiring students to learn more about their college experiences and their dreams for the future. Head to our website to meet students like Jameelah, who told us, "My son motivates me, and I love being a role model for him, because he really sees how good I'm doing, and says, 'I want to get an A, too.'"
First-Generation College StudentsNearly half of the college population is made up of first-generation students, which means their parents did not receive education beyond high school. Unfortunately, 89 percent of low-income first-generation students leave college within six years without earning a degree.
A new documentary, "First Generation," is shining a light on these students and their quest to become the first members of their family to attend and graduate from college. To see how the students featured in the documentary found their own successes through higher education, RealClearEducation caught up with them over the summer. Read the powerful profiles of Cecilia Lopez, Soma Leio, and Dontay Gray.
Finding the Right SchoolJennifer Engle, who we are now fortunate to have working at the Gates Foundation, created a similar documentary, "Degrees of Hope," when she worked at the Institute for Higher Education Policy. Jennifer was the first in her family to go to college, and—like many others—she had absolutely no clue how to choose the right one. In fact, Jennifer decided which schools she wanted to visit by eavesdropping on other students.
Far too many first-generation, low-income students don't end up attending college because the application process is too overwhelming and time consuming. Hear how other students have successfully navigated the college planning process.
Struggling to Stay in SchoolMore people than ever are attending college. But for millions of low-income Americans, getting into college isn't the hard part—the challenge is finishing. Terrell Kellam, 19, gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day for his 90 minute bus commute to Morgan State University in Baltimore. A combination of classes, dance rehearsal, and working in the computer lab means that Terrell doesn't often get home until midnight.
These students represent the changing face of higher education, and they represent the future of this country. Their stories drive the work we do at the Gates Foundation. With our partners, we're working to ensure every student has access to a college experience that meets their needs, interests, and goals.

"Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It's what propels societies forward." —Melinda Gates
The Global Fund has helped to deliver more than 190 million bed nets to protect families from malaria.
"The world faces a clear choice. If we invest relatively small amounts, many more poor farmers will be able to feed their families." —Bill Gates, 2012 Annual Letter
"When it come to global health, Bill and I are optimists—but we're impatient optimists. Tremendous progress is being made. But there is still so much we're impatient to see done." —Melinda French Gates
In Senegal, 80% of households now have a bed net, helping the number of malaria cases there drop 50% in a single year.

Owner Feels Fiancee's Wrath Over Trade
March 17, 2012 by staff
Owner Feels Fiancee's Wrath Over Trade, The owner of a professional sports franchise has a number of responsibilities and decision to juggle on a daily basis. It's not uncommon for the work to spill over into an owner's home life, either. But Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob got himself in a mess when he signed off on the trade of star guard Monta Ellis to Milwaukee.
Ellis was traded Wednesday along with Epke Udoh and Kwame Brown to the Milwaukee Bucks for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson. Trades are part of the sport and a reminder that it's a business. A reminder that was a bit more cruel for Lacob and his fiancee, Nicole Curran. It turns out Lacob's future wife had become friends with Ellis' wife. And Lacob surely understands, as Ellis was a favorite player of his.
But asked after the trade about the situation, Lacob pulled no punches. We will never share your email address. You can unsubscribe anytime. "My fiancee is mad at me," he said to the San Francisco Chronicle in the hallway off the court before Wednesday night's game. "She hasn't talked to me in two days."
Reporters didn't believe him. "There she is," Lacob said. "Ask her." Curran then breezed by, looking less than pleased. We're not sure what the moral of the story is. Don't get too close to your players? Don't let your significant other get too involved in your work? Don't be a professional sports team owner? In any case, some cold nights lay ahead for Lacob, and if he's not careful, a star guard won't be the only person gone from the picture.
