Topic: Anthony, I have missed you now for 5 years my darling
In these past few sunny July weeks in London I have thought of you as always, Darling, and have felt again the overwhelming sadness that the memories of July 2008 always bring. I find those memories so terribly painful that I try to push them away, such is the terror that I find there. I try to replace them with thoughts of happy times together but, of course, those memories can't be avoided and so I sink to near despair once again. For those events are part of me and will be for ever, marking the end of our happy lives together and the beginning of my 'lesser life' where I struggle to find meaning and where the concept of happiness is just a memory, occasionally recalled in dreams.
I have built a life of sorts, Darling, with the support of a few very good friends. In fact, people who don't know me well, think I'm fine. They don't see my sadness and loneliness because I choose not to show these to them. I have kept my surroundings as they always were - in our home very little has changed and I keep to familiar routines for I find security in this. I continue to work and to help with the grandchildren, who are growing so beautifully. I go to Italy at the same times and these give structure to my life.
But, what I need to tell you, Darling, is that there is a deep sadness and emptiness inside me where the love and happiness that we shared used to be. I still think of you all the time and am constantly aware of how shallow the world is without you. But mainly, what I need to express is how grateful I am to have been loved by such an exceptional man - so clever, so erudite, so interesting, so funny, so sensitive, so dynamic and so insightful. How amazing to have been loved by a man who was always the centre of every situation, challenging ideas and frameworks and guiding and supporting people to help them move forward in their lives. You were a hugely attractive man with a wonderful personality so no wonder I am still in love with you now as I was 31years ago when we met in another world ....another life.
I am writing this letter in Italy, looking from our kitchen window at the beautiful Tuscan countryside, framed by the Apennine Mountains and I recall the many happy summers we spent here - walking in the hills and sitting outside in the evenings, chatting and drinking wine late into the night, planning our retirement and looking at the stars.
Thank you again, my Darling, for all the happiness and richness that you brought to my life for 27 years. You are still my inspiration and my guiding light.
I love you now and for ever,
Pauline x
I will quote John Donne to express my love this time:
All other things to their destruction draw,
Only our love hath no decay;
This no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,
Running it never runs from us away,
But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day....

That makes us doubly motivated to keep them in tip-top shape. Thankfully, we have exercise physiologist Tom Holland, owner of Tom Holland's Athletic Club in New Canaan, Conn., to explain how to define our calves so they're not just an extension of our ankles...
1. Toe raises: No excuse not to do these — you can do them anywhere, sans equipment. Stand with your toes perched on the edge of a step. Slowly rise up onto your toes, then lower your heels until they dip below the top of the step. That's one rep, do 10. Repeat with the opposite leg. That's one set. Aim for 3 sets, 3 times a week. To make it harder, hold a dumbbell at your side next to the leg you're working.
2. Hit the Stairmaster or Step Mill: But don't just bounce along. Instead, lean forward slightly at the waist (no hunching) and take deep fast steps — like you're bounding up the stairs two at a time. Let go of the rails (only touch them lightly as needed for balance) to make sure your lower body — calves included — are taking on the brunt of the stabilization work.
3. Take the hilly — or sandy — route: Running on flat ground doesn't effectively target your calves. Instead pick a hilly route, or opt for a jog on the beach. According to Holland, the instability of the sand forces you to recruit your calves in a major way. You'll definitely be feeling it the next day!

Well...this is going pretty much how I expected so far.
The AFC South doesn't deserve a playoff rep this year. We all suck.
Looks like we're in. Texans are blowing out the Jags.
Win, and we play the Jets. Lose, and it's the Ravens.
Shade, wasn't it you that was making a big deal that Arian Foster ran all over us earlier in the year because he was a scrub? lol
No that was Trader Joe. He anchored fantasy team to a championship all year.
WTF Garcon?
I couldn't remember. Maybe I just assume the negativity comes from Shade. Ha.
Either way I remember it because I thought it was way off base at the time. He's proved me right on that one.
So...would you guys rather lose to the Jets or Ravens next week?
I'd rather lose to the Jets. I dont think I could stomach losing to the Ravens. The fact that their fan base STILL can't get over losing the Colts after almost 30 years, I hope we NEVER lose to those clowns again.
Here comes DrBadd!
Vinny is money...
Crazy ending....D. Rhodes fumble means Colts play the Ravens, then Titans fumbled snap means the Colts will now play NYJ. wow
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
I preferred the Jets just because I love knocking off New York-based teams.
i cant believe the jacksonville choked this much they pretty much had the division locked up in their pocket
i still think jack del rio is a great coach though
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
Jax split with each division rival, so losing to the Giants and Redskins are the two that killed them. Those are the two they lost which should have been wins, and in turn would have delivered a division title. That's the story of the AFC South though. Lots of barking from the three teams outside of Indianapolis, and VERY little to back it up when it matters most. Remember before the season opener when the Texans player was talking about hitting the Colts in the mouth? Well, they did that. The Colts got up off the canvas though and Houston forgot that the fight was actually scheduled for 17 rounds.
I know I was critical of the team throughout the year, but I have to hand it to the players and staff for putting these four straight wins together. Job well done. The Colts never cease to amaze me.
I think we beat the Jets next week.

When I spotted this shredded carrot salad from Joanne Weir in Fine Cooking Magazine, it sounded like another interesting salad combination with carrots. I ramped it up a bit, adding mint, and green onions, using more herbs, and using green Tabasco sauce in the dressing to get the jalapeno flavor throughout the salad. I love this Spicy Shredded Carrot Salad with Mint, Cilantro, Green Onion, Lime, and Jalapeno; and when my brother Rand was visiting Utah recently, he also pronounced it a keeper.
Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and green Tabasco sauce to make a spicy dressing.
Combine the shredded carrots, chopped mint, chopped cilantro and sliced green onion.
Spicy Shredded Carrot Salad with Mint, Cilantro, Green Onion, Lime, and Jalapeno
(Makes 4-6 servings, adapted from Shredded Carrots with Jalapeno, Lime, and Cilantro by Joanne Weir in Fine Cooking July 2009.)
10 oz (4 cups) shredded carrots
1/2 cup (or more) finely chopped mint
1/2 cup (or more) finely chopped cilantro

|City University Television in association with the Center for Advanced Study in Theatre Arts [presents].
André Bishop talks about his career at Playwrights Horizons from volunteer to literary manager to artistic director, the organization's mission as a home for new playwrights to have their work produced, his feelings about reading and judging a play, how a production makes a great difference, his move to Lincoln Center Theater and his plans for that organization.
Jules Feiffer talks about being a cartoonist, both successful and political, his first play, Little murders, initially a flop but revived successfully at American Place Theatre by director Alan Arkin, the failure of his next play God blues, his play Carnal knowledge and his screen adaptation of it for director Mike Nichols, the ease of writing for regional theater with little financial and critical pressure, and the successful productions of Carnal knowledge in regional theaters.
Al Hirshfeld tells how he began doing theater drawings for the New York Times, how he uses "pure line" and tries for likeness and a sense of the play, and his drawings of the musical Guys and dolls, comparing the original 1950 production with the 1992 revival. Includes Mr. Hirshfeld's drawings of Arsenic and old lace, Rhinoceros, Great white hope, Nicholas Nickleby, Fences, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, The glass menagerie, A streetcar named Desire, Death of a salesman, Oklahoma, and the Ziegfeld follies. Mr. Hirshfeld also discusses his wife Dolly Haas, the history of "Nina" in his drawings, comments on other drawings which he shows, and the influenced of Eastern art on his work.

One of my favorite city's streets has been recorded into 55 takes and 10 Ableton scenes. Download the City Traffic set over at Detunized. The set is 4.80€.
"City Traffic brings the daily noise of Berlin to the your library. The Pack contains recordings of main roads during the morning rush hour, when the trolley car rumbles over the rails and the trucks are roaring through the kettles. In between a bunch of honking mopeds and cars with broken exhaust pipes are fighting for their space. Commuter trains are crossing every minute, the omnibus arrives just in time and the long-distance trains pass the station with squeaking brakes. In the evening it is rainy and at least the suburb calms down a little bit." – detunized.com

I was looking at two time and price periods this month for a possible low in the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG). The first window produced a buy trigger followed by a minor rally and then a failure. This next decision is coming up right now.
First, as far as price is concerned, I'm looking at a relatively wide support zone that comes in between $18.31 to $19.28, with the focus within that zone in the $18.31 to $18.91 area. The price cluster by itself is considered a trade setup. If we can test and hold above this zone, we want to drill down to a 30-minute chart and look for reversal indications that will tell us that it is worth placing a bet against this next key support zone.
Besides the Fibonacci price parameters that are telling us to watch for a possible low, I am also looking at a cluster of Fibonacci time cycles that suggest we watch for the same thing. When a cluster of these cycles come together within a relatively tight range (similar to what we look for in price), the odds of a reversal of the trend increase. Note that the cycles on the chart are coming in between Dec. 12 and Dec. 14.
But I don't want you to step in front of a freight train here. UNG is on my radar to watch for a buy trigger, but only as long as we continue to respect the time/price parameters outlined above. In other words, this is a heads up to a possible opportunity at the ground level. (For more information on what I use to trigger into a trade, please refer to the "handy guide" I recently posted.)
I will watch a 30-minute chart and look for two things to occur before I consider an entry on the buy side. I want to see a prior swing high taken out, and the 8-day exponential moving average cross back above the 34-day EMA. The data on this chart is a little spotty, but it should suffice. I've marked a prior swing high that would need to be taken out at that point (though this may shift to a lower high as the market unfolds). We also need to see the 8-day EMA (blue line) trade above the 34-day EMA (red line). The initial risk can be defined below the low made prior to a buy trigger, or below the low end of the price cluster zone at the $18.31 to $18.91 area.
If you want to go the very conservative route, you can wait for the 5-day EMA to cross above the 13-day EMA on the daily chart to trigger an entry. This will occur further away from the zone we are risking against, though the odds for follow-through will be higher. To give you a visual of when the daily chart crossover has triggered in the past, I have illustrated the crossovers on the daily with blue arrows. (Note that on the daily chart, I use a 5-day EMA and 13-day EMA.)
Ready, set and don't go -- unless you see a buy trigger.

ESPN's Darren Rovell has obtained a photo of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel signing photos of himself for South Florida autograph broker Drew Tieman in early January, the website is reporting.
(Photo credit: ESPN)
Two sources have confirmed to ESPN that the photo is authentic. In the photo, Manziel is shown signing potos while Tieman is standing next to him overseeing the process.
Sources tell ESPN the photo was taken in Tieman's Fort Lauderale apartment where he was living at the time.

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" reported last month that Manziel signed more than 1,100 autographs for Tieman over a two-day stretch while Manziel was in Maimi for the BCS title game. Sources tell the network Tieman paid more than $10,000 to authenticate those autographs with James Spence Authentication.
ESPN reported Manziel signed 4,400 autographs for Tieman, two brokers in Connecticut at the Walter Camp Awards and Kevin Freistat, who had two sessions with Manziel to sign autographs — one in January in South Florida and another in Houston later in the month.
Tieman didn't respond to interview requests by ESPN. Manziel hasn't been made available to the media for interviews this week prior to Saturday's game at home against Alabama.
Manziel was suspended for the first half of A&M's season opener against Rice. The university and NCAA decided on the punishment because of an "inadvertent violation" of NCAA rules on autograph signing. The NCAA determined that there was no evidence Manziel "received monetary reward in exchange for autographs," but should realized that autographs will be sold when as many are signed as Manziel reportedly signed.

A fat shark is a well-traveled shark.
In a groundbreaking study published Wednesday, researchers at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove said they have discovered that great white sharks store oil in their liver and then deplete it as they travel monumental distances.
Other creatures, such as birds and whales, are also known to store up fat before long migrations, but this is the first time anyone has proved it is true for sharks.
"It's fairly well described where the sharks go to, thanks to all of these tagging experiments. But everyone wants to know how they do it and why they do it," said the study's lead author, Gen Del Raye. "Using the data, we were able to find that out."
Del Raye began the project as an undergraduate summer intern at Hopkins, part of Stanford University, with researcher Kira Krumhansl.
Intending to record shark swimming patterns, Del Raye came up with the idea to test how the density of fat stored in the great white shark's massive liver affected its buoyancy.
"Great white sharks use a swim-glide pattern," Del Raye said. "For some period the shark stops actively swimming and glides. As it sinks, the shark glides forward. If you have a shark that has more fat, it will sink more gradually."
Fortunately for Del Raye, a juvenile great white shark had been captured by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. With the aid of aquarium research scientist Sal Jorgensen, Del Raye observed and recorded how its swim-glide pattern was affected by the luxury diet provided by the aquarium's husbandry staff.
"A well-fed shark becomes more buoyant as it increases the fat reserves in its liver, as fat is less dense than water," Jorgensen said.
After observing the captive shark, Del Raye compared his observations with Hopkins' data on tagged great whites migrating in the Pacific Ocean.
"The tags that we have on the sharks record its depth over time," Del Raye said. "From this, we can tell where it's going and when it's going up and down. We take advantage of this similar pattern and determine its sinking rate."
By comparing these data sets using mathematical analyses, Del Raye discovered that migrating great white sharks sank at quicker rates as they migrated, suggesting they were using the fats in their liver to fuel their long journey.
From this discovery, Del Raye was also able to explain why the great white migrates thousands of miles from the subtropical waters between Baja California and Hawaii to its feeding grounds along the coast of California.
"Because we know that they are using up stored energy, it emphasizes the importance of their coastal periods where they feed at the elephant seal rookeries," Del Raye said. "Not only do they need to find enough energy to maintain their metabolism, they also have to find enough energy to fuel these long migrations."
Del Raye is working on his doctorate at the University of Hawaii, studying the effects of ocean acidification on fish.
The shark study was published Wednesday in the research journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Herald staff writer Phillip Molnar contributed to this story.

Mouth Diseases
Bump On Torus Palatinus-Cancer?
I have been having a few problems with my mouth, starting with 2 small bumps that cam for about a week and left and sever heartburn. However my GP said it was Acid Reflux and gave me prilosec. Those bumps have since shrunk down and only inflame when i eat certain things. However now there is a hard bump connected to my torus palatinus (T.P.). I have had a T.P. for as long as I remember but the bump on the side has just shown up this week. Could it potentially be cancer. By the way I don`t have health insurance and in limited in my professional resources.
Any advice would be helpful.
Since you do not give a location or exact size for the 2 small bumps, it is difficult to provide any feedback on those. A torus palatinus can grow and change over time.
If a new hard 'bump' has developed, it most likely represents a small growth of new bone that has arisen from the surface of the underlying bone that formed the torus years ago.
It is very unlikely that this new hard bump could represent a cancer. Nevertheless, you should see your dentist or an oral surgeon if it seems to be growing rapidly or becomes painful.
Hope this helps.

OSU's Zalesky named Pac-12 wrestling coach of the year
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - It is dj vu all over again for Oregon State's Jim Zalesky as he has been named the Pac-12 Conference's Head Wrestling Coach of the Year for the second straight season. Zalesky, finished his seventh year on the OSU bench by guiding the Beavers to their second straight Pac-12 title and their best finish at the NCAA Championships since 1996.
OSU wound up in eighth place overall at NCAA's in Des Moines, Iowa last month, just a few weeks following its third conference championship in the last four years. Zalesky saw his team go 11-4 overall and 5-1 within the Pac-12 during the 2012-13 season, including a nine dual-meet win streak, stretching from early January to the National Duals in mid-February.
Zalesky is in elite company as he is one of only two OSU head coaches to have at least 87 victories following their first seven years on the job. The other Beaver coach to have accomplished that feat is the legendary Dale Thomas who had exactly 87 dual wins following his seventh year in 1962-63. Thomas went onto earn 616 wins during his 22 years (1957-90) on the OSU bench and with 13 more wins, Zalesky will join Thomas and Joe Wells (1993-06; 161) as the only trio in Orange and Black wrestling history to reach the century mark for dual wins as head coach. Additionally, Zalesky, Wells and Thomas are three of only four OSU coaches to receive the conference's highest coaching honor as Zalesky joins Thomas as the only three time winner, with the current Orange and Black coach winning his first in 2010.
Last season the 17th coach in the 104 year history of the OSU wrestling program led OSU to the first Pac-12 title in the newly renamed conference's history en route to a 10th place finish at NCAA's. As a unit OSU boasted four conference champions and three All-Americans.
In 2012-13, Zalesky saw three wrestlers, Mike Mangrum (141 lbs.), Taylor Meeks (197 lbs.) and Chad Hanke (HWT) win Pac-12 crowns, while another trio (Meeks, Scott Sakaguchi and RJ Pena) earned All-American status at Nationals.
In his seven years as head coach in Corvallis, Zalesky has produced nine All-Americans and 14 conference champions, while sending a total of 43 student-athletes to compete at the NCAA Championships. Those individual accomplishments are in addition to his four conference titles (2007, 2011, 2012-13) and two top 10 finishes at Nationals.
The Shueyville, Iowa native won three national championships (1998-2000) as head coach at his Alma Mater (Iowa) and an additional three as a wrestler in the 158 lb. weight class from 1982-84. A four-time NCAA All-American, he was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2004.
Zalesky is a combined 87-33-2 (.721) during his time in Corvallis and 214-67-2 (.760) overall as a collegiate head coach. He was given a three-year contract extension before the start of the 2012-13 campaign, stretching through the 2015-16 season.

Try to focus on one circle that is moving
Have fun
this thing must be circling around the net... i'm seeing it pop up in all kinds of places
Set as background.
cool stuff. I wonder how our mind can be tricked so easily (and consistently)
because human beings are inherintly stupid as hell.
cool stuff. I wonder how our mind can be tricked so easily (and consistently)
because human beings are inherintly stupid as hell.
Never heard anything more true than that! (hails to EvilSmile and suggests that he should become world leader)
Soon, Soon. I shall soon take over the mantle of being a world leader.
but seriously, why does it so happen that those circles seem to rotate to all human eyes? What aspect of our nature is it that lets us be so consistently deceived.
Pardon me if the question doesn't interest you but to me it looks interesting and if anyone knows anything about this I'd be glad to know
what i find most fascinating is that the circles stop moving when you focus on one of them.
Evilsmile (Y) world conquest??
Well I had a book on "Physics" by Mir Publishers, dont even remember the name. In that he writes the generally observed phenomenon interms of Laws of Physics. Its designed for kids to understand Newton's Laws (without knowing Newton's Laws formally). In the book he writes that the volume of focus of average human (Evilsmile discounted) eye is 10 degrees. Thus you would not see the illusion if you are a bit awy from the machine. All the objects outside this area of focus tend to be "compressed" (dont remember the exact word). Stand away from the image and you will not see the illusion

Colorado jury finds Riddell negligent in helmet suit
A lawyer says a Colorado jury has awarded $11.5 million to a man whose family sued helmet maker Riddell Inc. and his coaches over brain injuries from a high school football practice in 2008.
Rhett Ridolfi's lawyer Frank Azar says the jury found Saturday that Riddell was negligent in failing to warn people wearing its helmets about concussion dangers.
The jury assessed 27 percent of the fault for Ridolfi's injuries to Riddell and the rest to coaches. Azar said Sunday that he'll ask a judge to find Riddell responsible for paying all $11.5 million in damages.
Riddell says it plans to appeal the verdict but is pleased that jurors determined its helmet wasn't defective.
Riddell also is named in a lawsuit by former NFL players against the league.

MIAMI—At long last, it is over.
After a brilliant, taut Game 7 effort put forth by the Spurs and Heat—following up their incredible Game 6 performance—the NBA Finals have come to a close after two grueling weeks, Miami defending its crown with a 95-88 victory, a game in which neither team held a lead of more than seven points.
MORE: Chalmers banks | Neal beats buzzer | Leonard finishes | Finals moments | Game 7s
For NBA fans, the end of a Finals of this magnitude is problematic—there will be some serious hoops withdrawal symptoms when tomorrow comes around. With that in mind, we can still look back on the moments most worth remembering from this one:
1. The moment: Ray Allen's 3.
The performance: Down, 95-92, with the clock winding down on the Heat's season in Game 6, Chris Bosh found Allen in the right corner. Allen shuffled his feet behind the 3-point line and quickly unloaded a shot. Swish, and the Heat were able to force overtime and pull out a 103-100 win.
The quote: "I went into the paint to try to get the ball and make something happen. At that point there's no guarantee who is going to get the ball or what may happen. And when I saw (Bosh) get the ball, I just backpedaled right to the 3‑point line, and I was hoping I was where I needed to be. But I wasn't quite sure. But just from years of shooting, I got to my spot." — Ray Allen
2. The moment: Tony Parker's back-breaker.
The performance: Ahead, 90-88, in the waning seconds of Game 1 in Miami, Parker was handling the ball on the high right side. Or, he was trying to handle the ball—he lost control of it not once, but twice. On the second recovery he went to one knee, corkscrewed to face the basket and somehow knocked in a 12-foot jumper with the 24-second clock expiring and 5.2 seconds to go. The Spurs won by that 92-88 margin.
The quote: "I see him go down and I'm just praying he gets a shot off. Obviously, Tony makes an unbelievable play. He does just about everything in the book that he had. He fell to the ground, pump‑faked, stepped through and still got it off the ground. It was just amazing." — Tim Duncan
3. The moment: Tim Duncan's miss.
The performance: With 49 seconds to play and the Spurs trailing, 90-88, Tim Duncan took a pass in the lane, with undersized Shane Battier defending him. Battier was muscled toward the hoop by Duncan, who turned to launch one of his patented flip-shots in the lane, about five feet from the basket. And, shockingly, he missed. The ball rimmed off, and Duncan stepped in for the offensive rebound. But again, Duncan couldn't convert. When James made an elbow jumper on the other end, the series was sealed. It was an unfitting ending for Duncan, who scored 24 points and had 12 rebounds on the night.
The quote: "That (frustration) is just out of me missing a bunny. Got by Shane and had a layup to tie the game. That's just frustration."
4. The moment: Danny Green's record.
The performance: No player made a bigger leap in the national consciousness in this series than Green, the easily overlooked starting shooting guard of the Spurs. Green is a quality 3-point shooter, but in the first five games of the Finals, he was off the charts—he was 25-for-38 from the arc, 65.8 percent. He set a new NBA record for 3-pointers in a Finals, eclipsing the mark of Allen, who made 22 in the 2010 Finals, a seven-game series.
The quote: "He's been unbelievable, especially on this stage. He's shooting the ball so well. He's got a lot on his shoulders and he's stepped up and answered the bell. He's been unbelievable. I hope he doesn't wake up." — Tim Duncan
5. The moment: LeBron's block.
The performance: With 8:21 to play in Game 2, San Antonio forward Tiago Splitter found himself with an open lane to the basket. The Heat already had a comfortable lead in the game, but as Splitter began to go up for the dunk, James slid over to challenge him, got his hand fully on the ball and sent the dunk away. Where James could have easily been posterized on the play, he instead earned a poster-worthy moment.
The quote: "Basically, I told myself, 'You're going to end up on SportsCenter one way or another. You're either going to get dunked on or you're going to get a block.'" — LeBron James
6. The moment: Manu's redemption.
The performance: After shooting 34.5 percent and scoring an average of 7.5 points in the first four games of the series, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich took a gamble and inserted Ginobili into the starting five. His response: 24 points, 10 assists, 8-for-14 shooting, leading the Spurs to a 114-110 win.
The quote: "I was feeling a big game for Manu. I've been playing with him for a long time. I said this morning it's a great opportunity for Manu. I was happy when Pop put him in the starting five, because you can get a rhythm. And the fact that they're playing defense so high on me and Timmy, I felt that Manu would be easier to gain for him." — Tony Parker
7. The moment: LeBron's cape.
The performance: James showed up at his practice day press conference after his miserable Game 3 performance (15 points, 7-for-21 shooting) wearing his practice jersey tied around his neck like a cape, and vowed to be better in Game 4. Was he ever: James scored 33 points on 15-for-25 shooting, leading the way for the best combined performance of the James-Dwyane Wade-Bosh trio, who totaled 85 points, 30 rebounds, 10 steals and four blocks.
The quote: "As bad as I played in Game 3, I put all the pressure on me to say I can't afford to play like that and hope for us to win. Not at this level. So I was able to forget about it. It hurt. I watched the film. It hurt watching it. I didn't like the way I was playing. But I just came in with a whole new clean slate." — LeBron James
8. The moment: Chris Bosh's block.
The performance: With 1.9 seconds to play and trailing, 103-100, the Spurs had one last crack at tying Game 6. Tim Duncan inbounded a long pass to Danny Green, who was running a curling pattern toward the opposite corner. Green collected the ball and leapt for an off-balance 3-pointer, when Bosh came storming over, leapt and—for the second time in the final 33 seconds—swatted away Green's attempt to preserve the win.
The quote: "I knew they were going to run something for a 3-point shooter, obviously. I just didn't know where. I was looking at Tim Duncan's eyes the whole time. I just tried to follow the flight of the ball. With 1.9 seconds, there's not much you can do." — Chris Bosh

I have a very hard time focusing on the tip of my nostrils. It will take me a good 15 minutes to get my concentration zeroed in on the tips of my nostrils, but at that point I'll have culminated some sort of a physical feeling that I can't really describe, almost as though the tips of my nostrils take on a physical form. Now I can't always do this, sometimes I will sit for 30 minutes and it won't happen, because I more or less have to manifest this physical attachment during meditation because the feeling I get at the tip of my nostrils is so faint that I have to amplify it I suppose.
Now, I can feel the air coming in and out within my nose, right near the nasal cavity before it enters, I'm wondering if maybe my nostrils are too large for the air to be as present at the outer ridges of my nostrils, though it seems pretty clear that you must focus on the tips because your mind has to become like a gatekeeper allowing air in and out, allowing life in and out, and I feel as though I won't be doing it properly if I focus on the inner portion of my nose. The thing is it's starting to ruin meditation for me, because I feel that if I'm not doing it right, I may just cause more harm than good.
Might anyone give me an idea of the importance of specificity of the central point of focus on Vipassana meditation?
Another side question, I apologize for asking so much.
I used to be very into meditation, I mean I can't really explain it but there was a sort of perception shift, I felt like I could see way more detail in things, that I could near instantly analyse objects and sometimes I felt as though they were....I apologize I really cannot explain it, but something like a bag would take on such a rich feeling, and almost seem as though it weren't a bag but something else. I also was very kind, and loving, and harbored no ill will towards anyone, I quit smoking (so easily, I would chuckle when my mind would try and get me to smoke, I felt as though my desires were as strong as they always are, but my will to overcome them was so far beyond that moments of weakness were laughable at best).
Now to attain this, I focused on the nostrils, to the best of my ability, but somehow my sessions turned out to be following the breath in and out, in and out for long periods of time, sometimes to the point that I would reach a place that can't be described as vivid, as it were more real than everyday life was most of the time, but I would be in a meadow and see myself breathing, and would imagine a crescent moon and feel so free.
The reason I had to detail all of this, is that I've lost all of it, I just fell out of meditation, and now I'm trying to get back into it. I'm reading all the same books, making the same efforts, this time I have faith because I've experienced it, but I feel there is some sort of dullness to life, to meditation that I can't overcome, I don't get that perception shift anymore where anything and everything is beautiful, I don't feel inspired to practice Metta or to love others, I try in vain to quit smoking but it defeats me with ease every time. You can understand my dismay being this way now, having tasted the bliss of loving kindness and Vipassana. Is it possible for someone to make some sort of a mistake, or be damaged spiritually to a point where they can no longer return back to the path? I'm afraid I'm in that situation.

The seat back liner and the floor liner connect with velcro. There's one strip for when the seats are down and one for when they are up. Moving from one strip to the other when raising or lowering the seat takes a little effort, and mine doesn't look as smooth as the picture when part of the seat is down. But it does the job.

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, including 13 in the final 2:52, as the host Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 115-110 on Saturday.
One night after saying he was "disinterested" during a loss in Detroit, Irving was simply spectacular down the stretch. He single-handedly closed out one of the NBA's best teams, making his last five shots and showing why he's an All-Star at age 20. Irving's biggest bucket was a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left to make it 113-108.
"He's a killer," said newly acquired Cavs forward Marreese Speights, who added 21 points. "I knew a little about him, I didn't know THAT."
Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Russell Westbrook had 28 for the Thunder, which came in 35-11 and with the league's best road record.
Durant left briefly in the third quarter with an injured rib but returned and scored 13 in the fourth.
Spurs 96, Wizards 86: Tim Duncan sprained his left knee and right ankle in the first half of host San Antonio's victory over Washington.
The Wizards' Martell Webster rolled into the back of Duncan's legs while fighting for a rebound with 3:54 left in the second quarter, and there were audible gasps in the crowd while the All-Star was on the floor holding his left knee for several minutes.
The severity of the injuries is not known, but Duncan did not return to the bench after being helped off the court.
Rockets 109, Bobcats 95: James Harden had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double in host Houston's win over Charlotte.
Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was taken off the court on a stretcher in the fourth quarter after teammate Jeff Taylor collided with him going for a rebound. Kidd-Gilchrist was fitted with a neck brace and taken to the hospital.
Bulls 93, Hawks 76: Luol Deng had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and short-handed Chicago shut down host Atlanta.
Playing without injured starters Kirk Hinrich, Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer, Chicago dominated near the basket and got a lift from the frenetic play of Nate Robinson, who went 4 for 6 from 3-point range and finished with 20 points.
Knicks 120, Kings 81: Amare Stoudemire was 10 for 10 from the field for 21 points, and host New York unleashed a 38-4 run on Sacramento in the first half and clobbered the Kings for its fourth straight victory.
Tyson Chandler had 11 points and 20 rebounds, becoming the first Knicks player with consecutive 20-board games since Marcus Camby on Dec. 8 and 11, 2001.
Timberwolves 115, Hornets 86: Dante Cunningham scored a season-high 18 points, Nikola Pekovic added 14 and host Minnesota beat New Orleans to stop a six-game losing streak.
Cunningham hit all nine of his shots to set a franchise record for most consecutive field goals without a miss.
Bucks 107, Magic 98: Monta Ellis scored 21 points and Brandon Jennings had 20 as host Milwaukee handed Orlando its ninth straight loss.
Mavericks: Coach Rick Carlisle was fined $25,000 by the NBA for criticizing the officiating after Dallas' loss to the Warriors.
With the Mavs trailing 98-97 on Thursday, Brandan Wright had the ball knocked away by Andrew Bogut while going up for a shot, and no foul was called.

Livestock Used for Brush Clearance at O'Hare
Posted August 16, 2013
O'Hare's youngest employee is just two days old, but before you cry foul, don't worry: he's not separated from his mother. Oh, and he's a lamb. The airport is joining aviation facilities across the US in coming up with novel ways to control weeds, shrubs, and invasive species around the runways to keep the facility safe.
A herd of goats, sheep, donkeys, and llamas (yes, really!) will now be patrolling O'Hare to much down on greenery that would otherwise be costly and painstaking to clear. They're not just saving the airport a lot of money: they're also modeling the new trend of hiring animals to do clearance work instead of leaving it to humans, making maintenance much easier and way more adorable.
To boot, it's an environmentally-friendly alternative to using heavy equipment for clearing. Instead of having to rely on gas-guzzling tools, maintenance workers can set the herd loose (with a minder) to take care of their overgrowth. Furthermore, the livestock keep unwanted animals away, keeping them clear of the airfield so they don't foul engines and cause other problems. Thus, they could be said to be a multipurpose workforce.
Airports aren't the only places where animals like goats are being used for brush clearance. They've also been employed along highways across the nation and at sites like Freshkills. Goat rental services offer their herds to cities and companies with land that needs clearing, but you can also rent a goat for the home. If you have an invasive species problem, an area of the yard that needs clearing, or a lawn that's getting too overgrown for fire safety, goats will be more than happy to take care of the job.
For home hire, you'll need to watch out. Goats are infamous for having indiscriminate tastes, and if you have plants you want to keep, they need to be protected. Goats can climb, too, and will strip the bark from trees in addition to tearing at climbing vines. One option is to have the goats work inside a fenced area that only covers the area of interest. You can also have them staked out on lead lines that won't allow them to roam too far to prevent unwanted snacking.
As a bonus, if you're working with a local goat farmer, you might be able to request milk and cheese made from your goats. Pretty cool to imagine eating dairy products produced from goats that grazed in your own yard, right?!
City goats (and other livestock) are a booming trend across the US, and the practical use of herds to manage weeds and invasives is being taken up by a growing number of municipalities. It's a great transition away from wasteful, noisy, and polluting methods of weed and plant control. Test programs like the one at O'Hare are also demonstrating that livestock can even be employed, so to speak, in potentially crowded and noisy environments but still remain healthy and happy.
If you're worried about the safety of the animals at O'Hare who are acting as their own Chicago landscaping service, don't worry: they're in a secure fenced area and their handlers make sure they're happy and in good health. Apparently they're undisturbed by the airplane noise from the airport, possibly because they're too distracted by all that delicious food. And if you were hoping to get a chance to view them during your next interminable layover at one of the most notorious airports in the US, sorry; they're not in an area that's accessible to the public.

This page is about the slang term arse-licking
Meaning: saying nice things to someone in order to get something from them
For example:
- Does he really think all his arse-licking will mean the CEO will give him the promotion?
- Bosses say they don't like arse-licking, but I'm sure some of them quite enjoy being told how clever and wonderful they are.
The equivalent slang in American English is "ass-kissing".
Warning! This is very bad language. If you are a non-native speaker, you are advised not to use it. (You could cause resentment or anger if you use it inappropriately.)
Variety: This is typically used in British and Australian English but may be used in other varieties of English too.

I thought Tyler played very well for a while, especially right before O'Brien was fired. I also think he had a pretty strong start to last season and was a completely different player after getting hit in the head after several games. He has no excuse this season, imo. He's missing wide open jumpers, which opponents are begging him to shoot. He still adds something to the game but he's a noticeably better player when he feels involved offensively.

ALAMEDA COUNTY — Either get a flu shot or put on a mask: that is the decision Alameda County health care workers in licensed facilities will have to make beginning Nov. 1 whether they are paid or unpaid.
Their employers will have discretion over how to implement the order, which covers the flu season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — until the mandate is rescinded. However, the dates could be changed if the season begins late or infections are particularly widespread. The order came Monday from Berkeley Public Health Officer Janet Berreman and Alameda County Public Health Officer Muntu Davis. Berkeley maintains its own public health agency.
The two directors issued the order after a similar vaccination-or-mask bill failed to get past Gov. Jerry Brown's desk. The order applies to all licensed health care facilities in Alameda County and the city of Berkeley, including hospitals, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, as well as dialysis centers. Facilities with a documented 90 percent or greater HCW influenza vaccination rate are exempt from the masking requirement.
For more information, Berkeley residents can call 510-981-5300. Otherwise, call the Alameda County Public Health Department at 510-267-3250.

DETROIT - Witness testimony Monday revealed that close to $2.3 million was discovered in safes in locations related to defendant Bobby Ferguson including one in the bathroom of the contractor's office and another behind the dryer in the laundry room of his Southfield townhouse.
Kwame Kilpatrick on Trial: Day 62
EPA agent Carol Paszkiewicz testified to serving a search warrant on January 15th 2009 to investigate the office for Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (FEI) located on Wyoming St. in Detroit. The special agent told the court that the federal investigators made their way to Ferguson's personal office which included the infamous "chillin' pad."
In a credenza located behind Ferguson's desk, they found a safe which contained $7,000 in cash, a videotape and some personal documents including Ferguson's driver's license and birth certificate.
FBI agent Gwen Rosenthal followed Paszkiewicz on the stand. Rosenthal, part of the agency's Public Corruption Squad in Detroit, testified that she was present when a search warrant was executed at Ferguson-owned Xcel Construction Services' offices in the Guardian building on the same date.
The search led agents to 4 safes including one in the bathroom of Ferguson's personal office. In the safes, they found some jewelry including a watch, contract documents, cash totaling $261,500 and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) worth more than $1.2 million.
Rosenthal told the court that the $261,500 in cash was mostly still held in original bank straps. The bundles of $2,000 and $5,000 were primarily made up of $50 and $100 bills.
And then on September 8th 2010, the FBI turned up with a search warrant at 25495 St. James, a townhouse in Southfield that had been linked to Ferguson by official records and pictures.
In the home, the FBI found a small portable safe stashed behind the dryer in the laundry room.
When investigators opened the safe, they found it packed with U.S. currency including $275,000 in cash and 5 official checks totaling $500,820 made payable to Ferguson Enterprises Inc. The stacks of cash, each measuring just under half an inch, were strapped in bundles of $5,000 and $10,000 again composed primarily of $50 and $100 bills.
All told, federal investigators discovered $2,260,820 in cash and cash instruments in the safes of the three Ferguson-related locations.
On cross examination, Ferguson's lawyer Michael Rataj had Rosenthal concede that there is nothing illegal about having safes stuffed with cash in business offices or homes.
Rataj also argued that as a result of federal investigations into Ferguson's bank accounts, various financial institutions including First Independence Bank, Paramount Bank and Nstar Bank had terminated their relationships with Ferguson forcing to the contractor to find alternative methods of storing his cash.
The FBI agent disagreed saying that Ferguson continued to have accounts at Bank of America and Comerica.
Rosenthal admitted, however, that she couldn't "speak to where Ferguson would choose to put his money" and that as far as she knew he had paid his taxes on his income.
Earlier in the morning, special agent Paszkiewicz told jurors that total revenues on Ferguson-related contracts discussed in the Kwame Kilpatrick federal corruption trial came to $83,829,612. Total revenues for all Ferguson-related contracts with the city of Detroit between 2002 and 2008 under the Kilpatrick administration came to a staggering $124,756,491.
Rataj argued that the witness's calculations did not include all the costs and expenses for the various contracts.
"Right, that's why we called it revenues," replied Paskiewicz.
"Your chart is not the full story of FEI's involvement in the contracts. Right or wrong?" pressed Rataj.
"No, it clearly does not include the cost of doing business. It is strictly revenues," retorted the EPA agent impatiently.
The last witness to take the stand Monday was IRS agent Rowena Schuch.
The IRS agent said she looked at several Ferguson-related accounts including ones for A & F Environmental, Johnson Consultants, FEI and Xcel as well as personal accounts for Bobby and Marilyn Johnson.
In the period between 2002 and 2008, Schuch found $2,552,357.21 in transactions of checks written to cash. She also testified that there were many transactions in the $9,000 range which is often done to avoid the reports automatically generated by financial institutions on any transactions over $10,000.
Rataj pointed to Judge Nancy Edmunds's instructions to the jury that there were no charges in the indictment for money laundering or financial structuring against Ferguson.
He also pointed out that in 2002, out of 83 checks written, Ferguson had only endorsed three to himself.
After consulting with counsel at her bench, Judge Edmunds told jurors that the government will wrap up its case tomorrow and defense will begin Thursday after taking a day off to prepare witnesses.
Court reconvenes Tuesday at 9AM.

When it comes to Amazon.com (AMZN) investors believe the stock will keep rising as long as the company is able to grow revenue. It seems as if investors could care less if Amazon ever makes a profit. But I think that fantasy will come to an abrupt end this holiday season.
Brick-and-mortar retailers are fighting back with new tools that should blunt Amazon's revenue growth. Analysts and investors have begun to take notice.
In the last decade, Amazon has run roughshod over a whole host of brick-and-mortar retailers. It started with record stores and bookstores and now Amazon is eating through electronics retailers like Best Buy (BBY). But the big-box people are planning to put up a fight this year.
Startup Mercent Technologies is helping a number of large retailers reprice their online merchandise as fast as hotels and airlines change their prices. The goal is to have the most competitive price throughout the Internet. In the past, traditional retailers rarely changed the prices on their sites. Amazon was able to take advantage of the brick-and-mortar laziness. Amazon used its technological prowess to quickly compare prices against a wide range of competitors and lower its price just enough to win sales. Amazon flew right under the radar and scooped up the business.
But that's no more. Mercent's clients have jumped into the price-changing game, too. Mercent's technology scans prices across the Web and automatically lowers the price displayed on its clients' sites. Mercent's software automatically reprices clients merchandise at the rate of 2 million times an hour. For example, according to tests run by Decide.com, one online retailer changed the price of duct tape to $7.83 from $2.00 in a wide variety of increments in just one 24-hour period. Decide watched as the price of colored pencils change from $2.00 to $2.22 to $2.83 to $3.32. IPad prices swung $54 in either direction. Mercent's software can shave pennies off of a price so its clients merchandise always shows up as the lowest price on the Web. Prices can change hourly or even minute by minute. When competition slacks off, the software reverses course and raises prices.
In addition, the brick-and-mortar people have revamped the search engines on their sites. Customers were frequently frustrated when they went to search a retailer's website and the search engine came up with no results or with merchandise that was wildly off the mark. No more. Wal-Mart (WMT) claims its new and improved website makes it 10-15% more likely customers will purchase after finding products.
After being devastated by Amazon Prime, a service where customers who pay $79 a year earn free shipping, brick-and-mortar retailers are fighting back as well. Wal-Mart started testing same-day delivery in San Francisco, San Jose, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia and Minneapolis using its stores as distribution points. Other retailers, like Toys R Us, already provide in-store pickup for online orders.
Amazon's other big advantage, no sales tax, is slipping away. Big states like California, Texas and New York are forcing Amazon to collect sales tax this year. Amazon is already collecting sales tax from residents of Kansas, Kentucky, Washington and North Dakota.
In fact, according to census data about 35% of all American consumers live in states that are currently collecting sales tax from Amazon. The company will have to charge residents of New Jersey and Virginia next year and Indiana, Nevada and Tennessee in 2014.
It seems the Street is taking a second look at Amazon as well. After knocking out revenue growth of 39.6% in fiscal 2010 and 40.5% in fiscal 2011, the Street consensus expects a sharp slowdown. According to ThomsonOne, the analyst consensus is looking for revenue growth of 29% in 2012 and 27% in 2013.

California had its largest single-day gasoline price spike in almost five years Thursday, leading to long lines at the pump, gas shortages and even station closures. | » Huge 19.2-cent overnight spike
Experts said the price increases could continue for weeks and the average might even break the $5 mark. Already by Thursday afternoon, at least five Los Angeles area gas stations had crossed the $5 per gallon mark, according to GasBuddy.com, including one charging $5.29 per gallon in Burbank and another at $5.11 in Norwalk. One station in Calabasas was even charging $5.69. | See photo gallery.
"We are looking at the highest California prices ever," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Oil Price Information Service, which compiles the price data for AAA.
A refinery closure, a contaminated pipeline and the state's strict pollution limits are all, in part, to blame, experts said. Gasoline inventories across the state are lower than they have been in more than 10 years.
The cost of gasoline in California jumped 8.3 cents Thursday to $4.32 per gallon, up 18 cents over last week, according to the AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge. The national average Thursday was $3.78.
This set California as the most expensive U.S. state in which to buy gasoline.
Kloza said it was likely that California's record average gasoline price of $4.61 a gallon, set in June 2008, would be broken.
The average price of gas Thursday in Los Angeles was reported at $4.35 a gallon.
Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, said California prices should continue to rise as retail prices catch up with wholesale prices.
"Wholesale prices have gone up $1 a gallon in the last week alone, and retail prices have only followed for 30 cents, so there unfortunately is room for retail prices to climb, and that's likely what they'll do," DeHaan said.
In recent weeks, California refineries have dropped production in anticipation of switching over to a "winter blend" of gasoline, which emits more polluting emissions, next month.
California's summer-blend fuel requirements are in effect in Southern California until Oct. 31.
The California Independent Oil Marketers Association, a Sacramento-based group that represents wholesale and retail fuel marketers, asked the state Wednesday to expedite a waiver that would allow refiners to produce and sell winter-grade fuel, said spokesman Jay McKeeman.
"Everybody is concerned about what might happen," he said. "The real question is: How long is this going to last and what can the state do?"
At the same time, a power outage at ExxonMobil Corp.'s 150,000-barrel-per-day Torrance refinery Monday and a shutdown of the crude distillation unit at Chevron Corp.'s Richmond refinery contributed to the tight supplies.
Gesuina Paras, an Exxon spokeswoman in Torrance, said the refinery may burn off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves for a week as it restores production following a power failure that shut down some units and slowed output from others.
Chevron also has had problems with a refinery and a pipeline.
The Kettleman-Los Medanos pipeline, which carries 85,000 barrels per day of crude oil from the state's Central Valley to refineries in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been closed since mid-September due to the presence of elevated organic chloride levels in the crude stream.
In addition, Chevron's 240,000-barrel-a-day Richmond plant, the largest refinery in Northern California, has been running at reduced capacity since a fire Aug. 6.
Adding to California's gasoline woes, maintenance work at the Phillips 66 plants in Rodeo and Arroyo Grande has slowed production as well.
"It's a series of unfortunate events," Kloza said. "This is not something that is going to last for months. This is something that is going to last for days or weeks."
The Chevron and Mobil refinery supply problems especially have hit the region hard, said Bob Van der Valk, an independent petroleum industry analyst in Montana.
"The squeeze is on, and people are doing desperate things," said Van der Valk. "The mom and pop gas stations are having to close down from either not being able to obtain gasoline from their regular distributor or cannot afford the break-even price of almost $5 per gallon."
McKeeman said the independent gas station owners are typically the first to run out of fuel and shut their pumps when spot prices surge because they often lack long-term contracts to buy from fuel suppliers at set prices, McKeeman said.
Gasoline station owners in Southern California have stopped making wholesale purchases to fill their underground tanks since the price of gas has shot up in the past week, he said.
Even the Costco discount store chain, which typically has some of the cheapest prices, is starting to run dry or is seeing long lines at its pumps.
Customer Jorge Reveles, 67, of Fontana hoped to fill his gas tank after shopping at Costco in Fontana, but he learned that wouldn't be a likely possibility once he drove up to the closed gas pumps.
"I have no idea what's going on," Reveles said. "I thought I'd be getting gas here today, but I guess I'll have to drive down the street."
Costcos throughout the region also stopped selling gas Thursday, including in Simi Valley, Northridge, Alhambra and Azusa. A Costco station in Van Nuys was among those still operating Thursday.
Greg Bond, assistant warehouse manager at the Simi Valley store, said the shortage hit on Wednesday.
"There are definitely some supply issues out there," Bond said. "Unfortunately I don't know how long it will take to fix at this point."
Low-P, a gas station in Calabasas, put signs on its pumps apologizing for the high prices. On Thursday regular was $5.69 a gallon, and premium $5.89.
Tanya Barklhordar, the station's manager, said they will sell gas as long as they have it and that the situation is difficult for her and her customers.
At Costco locations that did have gas, lines of vehicles were waiting to fill up Thursday.
At a Lakewood location, where regular was just $4.17, lines eight cars deep were waiting at all 15 pumps.
Customers said the lines aren't unusual and happen throughout the week because of the low prices.
"The gas here is cheaper than anywhere else," said Helen Fordof Long Beach.
Costco's shortage has to do with the company being an independent gas provider.
Companies with their own refineries, such as BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, Valero, Tesoro and Sinclair, don't have to find gasoline on the open market, as independent gas providers do, DeHaan said.
"It's not surprising Costco is having a tough time finding gasoline, and other independents may have the same situation," DeHaan said. "That just shows the severity of the situation, which unfortunately solidifies why prices are rising, and that's because of limited supply."
However, Van der Valk called the price surge "a short-term problem" and said wholesale costs should start falling as Exxon's refinery returns to normal operations and other plants finish maintenance.
In the meantime, though, drivers and gas station operators will continue to feel the squeeze.
"We're not going to wake up tomorrow and find out this is a bad dream. It's real life, and unfortunately there is a clear potential for California to set a new record state high price," DeHaan said. "Even though that's not much consolation for those folks out there facing the pump, this will blow over, but it will take a matter of weeks until we see any relief."

Philips Wins $10M USD Gov't L-Prize for World's Most Efficient Light Bulb
Jason Mick
February 27, 2012 10:54 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Philips)
Bulb will debut at $50; nobody said "perfection" was cheap
Nearly four years have passed since the
U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) announced the "
L Prize
", a $20M USD reward to the first company who successfully produced a
light-emitting diode (LED) bulb
meeting a special set of criteria in terms of energy efficiency and lighting performance. The prize took money from allocations made by the
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007
, signed into law by former President George W. Bush.
I. Koninklijke Philips Wins the L Prize
The years have passed and at last there is a winner. The prize has been awarded to a design from Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (
), an Amsterdam, Netherlands-based global electronics company.
The winning design is dubbed the "Philips Award Winning LED Bulb". Its specs easily meet the L Prize criteria:
A video on the testing process is seen below:
The Philips bulb survived all the tests, emerging with flying colors. It did particularly well in longevity testing, showing almost no performance degradation after predicted at 25,000 hours (1041 days, or almost 3 years of continuous operation).
II. For $50 is the L Prize Bulb Worth It?
The bulb trims over 2.5W off Philip's previous generation LED bulb designs, a power savings of roughly 20 percent. Unfortunately those savings come at a cost -- where as Philip's previous generation models are retailing for
around $33 USD
, the new bulb retails for $49.95 USD, nearly 50% more expensive. The bulb is assembled in the U.S. from components manufactured in Shenzhen, China with LED chips made in San Jose, Calif.

The pricey bulb has a 29 percent wall-plug efficiency ratio -- compared to the 60W incandescent lamp's 12% and a CFL's 19% wall-plug efficiency. The new design delivers 90 lm/W (an efficiency measure) –compared to an average 60W incandescent with about 13 lm/W or a CFL with about 53 lm/W.
Detailed information about its color and luminosity performance is available
[PDF], direct from Philips.
The bulb carries a distinct yellowish hue when powered off, but Philips assures that the "remote phosphor" (yellow) disappears when the bulb is powered on. The emitted light is white with a slightly yellowish hue (as with the standard off-the-shelf incandescent bulbs).

Philips is offering a 3-year warranty on the bulb. And it rates it at 30,000+ hours of life.
Given a $0.10 USD per kWH cost of electricity -- a "middle of the road" scenario in the U.S. [
] -- the bulb would save approximately $150 USD over its lifetime ($0.10 USD/kWh * 3e4 h * 0.050 kW) versus an incandescent design. However, the additional 2.5 watts of power savings over previous generation models only represents approximately $7.50 USD more in savings.
Aside from the cost savings, the LED lights also offer smoother dimming than incandescent bulbs, with less impact on longevity. And unlike
compact fluorescent lighbulbs
(CFLs), a rival energy efficient design, they lack
toxic compounds like mercury
Thus the bulb may be sought after by LED lighting enthusiasts, but will likely be overlooked by businesses, which would tend to prefer cheaper, more mature LED designs. However, the technology should eventually fall into line with current generation models price-wise, offering the best of both worlds.
We're still a long way from the promises of some LED researchers --
a 60-year light bulb that costs $2.85 USD
-- but the industry is starting to get to the point where LED lighting makes sense for businesses and consumers from a financial perspective.
You can order the bulb from various sources,
such as Light Bulb Emporium
. It should ship in March.
For its win, Philips receives $10M USD, and free promotion from the DOE. The DOE still has more money to give to other L-Prize winners.
Be careful when browsing sites or shops looking for this bulb as there's many different models out here. Note this is the <10 W Endura series model. This should not be confused with the last-gen 12.5W Endura series model (linked above) or the (last-gen) 8W Ambient Light series.
Note 2:
While the bulb design was an international effort based on the multi-national Koninklijke Philips company, the award winning design was submitted by Philips Lighting North America, who will be producing and marketing the bulb in the U.S.

In 1941 Russian muralist Anton Refregier was commissioned by the US Government to paint a series of murals in the Spear Street Post Office annex in San Francisco. It was part of the Works Progress Administration, one of five New Deal programs that dealt with federal art projects. Regreigier was paid $26,000 for his work, which was completed after the War in 1948.
This is mural 22 in the series that tells the story of California, and its provided description is below.
22. Reconstruction After the Fire: "Immediately after the quake, the national guard and army troops under the command of General Frederick Funston helped San Francisco police and firemen maintain order in the city. In addition, the soldiers prevented looting, helped with temporary housing, food distribution, communications, and sanitation. Soup kitchens and tent cities in the local parks were first signs of reconstruction. Clearing the rubble and rebuilding the city took years."

Much of popular media and numerous advertising messages aren't kind to men in general and dads in particular.
For proof of how Madison Ave. puts the clown suit on dads, check out Ask Men's top 10 male-bashing ads.
Because all humor has at least a grain of truth in it, we must acknowledge that some men can be pretty clueless in the kitchen or lost in the finer points of navigating supermarket aisles. But produce marketers should not lump all men in that category.
True, the latest Nielsen statistics show that women have more shopping trips to grocery stores and outspend men by a substantial amount per shipping trip.
As I stated in a recent story "You have come a long way, buddy, but…."
Given the continuing dominance of women as food shoppers, are men worth even paying attention to? In place of a generic barbershop, the SportsCuts chain has designed its shop around a sports on TV environment. Of course, a male-theme produce department is a far-fetched idea, indeed, but what is the right perspective on marketing to gender?
I asked the Fresh Produce Discussion Group this question:
Considering that women still dominate grocery shopping, is there any value for produce companies to target men as customers? What produce companies have targeted men in their promotions?
One comment on the Fresh Produce Group thread:
Men are a big part of the produce department. If ladies can't get out to a grocery store, guess who shops the produce dept. Men today share 50 percent of the chores, since 75 percent of women work. Men today are involved in every aspect of the household. If a man goes through the produce dept, he will buy more fruits and vegetables than a woman. They cook more than their fathers did and they want to try new items. I have noticed since being in the retail produce business men ask many questions regarding certain items in season and want to educate themselves . I would say they are missing the boat if they do not start targeting men.
Another said:
It would be intriguing to see research on what influences a male to purchase vs. a female relative to produce. Based on watching men (including my husband) I am inclined to think convenience (i.e. "grab and go") along with onsite product sampling - one of the things that he loves about shopping at Costco! Not that these elements don't also attract women, but I think guys tend to be mission-driven and therefore like to get "in and out" vs. women who prefer to "shop" when it comes to groceries.
There are ten comments so far, and a great diversity of thought; I really encourage retailers to chime in on this.
Speaking of gender-based marketing, what is the latest on "booth babes" relative to our national produce associations? Are any new rules in place after the controversy last year about "Daisy Dukes" at the PMA show?
Remember this extremely active discussion?
Should PMA (and other produce shows) ban scantily clad "booth babes" from staffing expo booths? Why or why not?
Are there any updates/clarifications to the story from PMA or United Fresh?

You can use disposable cameras, but they create waste and usually have limited photos you can take.
This is a great activity for birthday parties, so in the invitations, ask each person to bring a camera. You might gather some back-up cameras from friends to help those who forget.
If the guests are younger than seven, it's better if the list shows photos and words, not just words. You could use our Backyard Scavenger Hunt list.
It helps the guests if you put the lists on a clipboard and attach a pencil or crayon with a string. If you don't have enough clipboards, you can make temporary ones from corrugated cardboard.
Be descriptive:
You can ask for scavenger hunt photos that let the participants use their imaginations such as:
You can ask for photos that test their camera skills, such as:
Maybe they can take photos of each other doing various behaviors such as:
Maybe they must take three photos of the birthday kid.
You might pair up smaller children with an adult, or have older kids work in pairs. That way, if they wander out of view, you know everyone is safe.
But that brings up a key point - you must now set the boundaries for the hunt. Do they have to stay in your backyard? If you are at a park, what are the boundaries? If it is not super obvious, you might tie flags on trees or poles to remind them of the boundaries - to keep things safe and fair.
Also, tell them how much time they have, and what will be the signal to come back. Perhaps you will ring a bell or hit a gong!
It's great to have some kind of acknowledgement for everyone's efforts - so this is a good time to pull out a special snack or make medals from recycled metal lids attached to ribbon.
If you have a tech-savvy person at the party, you could ask them if they could make a funny slideshow for everyone to watch when it is time to eat cake.
