Normally, we applaud Mischa Barton's fashion daring — if any one can pull off a wacky look and still look beautiful, it's usually her. But this outfit (left) leaves us scratching our heads and wondering if she just can't wait the extra few weeks for Halloween. Is it just us or does that skirt/ankle boot combo look like the Great Pumpkin-goes-Punk? At least now we know the actress's political stance, thanks to her Universal Mind t-shirt. Tell us: what do you think of Mischa's look?

Topic: We'll take any little bit of good news that we can...
Well, I just thought i'd post here, as my poor old mum has had a continious stream of bad news since they found a liver mass in Feb this year. Since then, her appetite has been dreadful, her weight has dropped dramatically, and she's felt exhausted most of the time.
She recently started her first round of chemo and, just to add to the misery, her already low platelets dropped through the floor - preventing her from having her second dose.
But, we set in to action, knowing that we needed to do something, and we got mum to see a Chinese herbalist. For all of those sceptics out there (and I admit, I was one of them just a few weeks ago), the treatment seems to have transformed mum's health.
She had acupuncture to improve her appetite (her stomach gurgled all through the appointment) and is now taking a Chinese supplement to combat the effects of chemo. Since then, she's absolutely full of energy, eating like a horse, and she looks and seems back to normal mum, who we all adore. Oh, and her platelets are now back within the normal range (higher than they have been since the beginning)...
Even our very miserable Oncologist admitted today, that she is a little surprised at the turn-around.
So, for today, we are all smiling

I knew there were very few races that might even be considered a "lock". However, I didn't realize how many people were not pleased with what has happened in recent history in government.
It was definitely not a good day to be a Democrat or an incumbent.

Hi everyone,
In the practice of Anapanasati Bhavana, how do you know what you should do next?
Now, I read the tetrads or the stages of Anapanasati once, and you know what i thought, how can something so systematically laid down at the same time be a mystery.
It's like someone showing you which cities you have to go through..but doesn't tell you how to get there or where you should make a stop and change trains.Usually in real life i just figure things out.is this what the Buddha wants us to do.To figure things out on our own.
So my question is How will i know when to change something especially regarding the different stages in Anapanasati?
1.Do you have to consciously "switch".
2.Are the 16 stages that you go through, do they take place naturally if all you do is just focus on the breath..is it those just focus on the breath everything will fall into place things.
Oh and also Does anyone have a good link of the tetrads and stages...something simple,a step by step guide, that can be a good guide for this practice.
Thank you

I have been lucky since I bought this condo over 18 months ago, only had to call the cops once for a large party at 3:30 AM, and it was college kids who I figured were just having fun and let the party get out of hand (never had a noise problem after that)
Well this morning at 1:00AM we were awoken to loud noises from the unit above us. We figuredthe folks were moving furniture or trying to make the sex so i just passed out. At 2:45ish we were awoken again, and the noises did not stop until a little after 0500.
My wife thought it was a treadmill at first, then she thought it was a bunch of prostitutes. I kind of wonder if they were shooting a porn flick, or having a sex party. The noise was loud bouncing and squeaky noises, and was out of the world annoying as hell
Did not call the cops because I am not sure if they can do anything about noises that you cannot hear outside, but holy hell it was a PIA.

REYBRIDGE rider David Doel will travel to France with the Great Britain team as they launch the defence of their Nations Cup title next month.
Doel, 20, and Lucy Wiegersma will compete as individuals at Fontainebleu in the first leg of the 2014 FEI Nations Cup Series on March 20-23, while providing back-up to the British team, which is made up of Nick Gauntlett, Emily Llewellyn, Gemma Tattersall and Izzy Taylor.
Doel, who has been out in Portugal with his horses in recent weeks, will be riding Koyuna Sun Magic, jointly owned with his mum Maggie and Jane James.
In consultation with the Selection Committee and Yogi Breisner the Eventing Performance Manager, the Team Manager Philip Surl has selected the four riders named below to represent Team GBR.
Team boss Philip Surl said: "We are heading to France with a potentially very strong contingent of British riders to defend our 2013 Nations Cup title."
"The result of any Nations Cup competition depends very much on the preparations going to plan early in the season but we will keep our fingers crossed for a smooth run up to the competition at Fontainebleau."
Eventing Performance Manager Yogi Breisner added: "In addition to the selected CICO team, Britain will be very well represented in Fontainebleau with many established as well as exciting new combinations heading there as part of their early season campaign."
"The primary purpose of campaigning the CICO Nations Cup series is to give riders who have not been regular members of Senior Championship teams experience of working and competing within a team environment and to get them out competing against the best continental riders.''
Lower Stanton St Quintin rider Kitty King, Badgerstown youngster Tom McEwen and West Littleton's Harry Meade, as well as Laura Collett, who recently moved from the Membury Estate to Windy Hollow Stables in Lambourn, are also part of Great Britain's Nations Cup squad this year, but have not been selected for the opening event.

3 Effective Ways to Make E-Commerce More Engaging
Crutchfield and Mobi have seen big gains from small Web changes
It can be relatively easy to engage customers on e-commerce websites when marketers know who those customers are or the nature of their purchase histories. But what about customers who don't sign in? Or first-time customers? The following are three ways companies are building engagement through incremental improvements to their e-commerce strategies:
Using location to optimize offers
Electronics retailer Crutchfield New Media may only have two physical locations in Virginia, but it has an e-commerce business across the United States—where customers on different coasts have different buying habits.
Crutchfield knew it needed to use customer location to push relevant deals and offers on its website. Yet, it also needed to do this seamlessly. "If you have to wait for someone to log a ZIP Code, you've lost a large percentage of your visitors," says Zach Zimet, the company's senior director of marketing. While it's natural to ask for location information when a customer orders a product or signs up for a newsletter, it's jarring to do so simply when a customer enters the website. Two years ago the company began using an IP targeting solution from Digital Element. The benefits have been twofold: First, the solution tells local searchers about product in stock at nearby branches.
Second, the shipping banner on the Crutchfield page changes its offer based on the customer's location. "We're shipping 100% of product out of one warehouse in Virginia," Zimet says. "So there's very relevant time and transit information depending on where you live." It's important for customers to get this information before the checkout process, Zimet says. "If someone is in California, we can say there's free delivery but we can't crow about [fast] delivery," he says.
Making searches more natural
As recently as last year, hardware retailer Tacoma Screw Products had nothing more than a static online catalog with poor navigational and search functionalities. "We heard it day in and day out," says Eric McGregor, Tacoma Screw's e-commerce manager. Customers going to the website couldn't even find a product based on its part number. In November 2012 the company went live with an e-commerce website, powered by NetSuite.
But Tacoma Screw still wanted to optimize its search capabilities. "In our industry there are a lot of different terms," McGregor explains. "Products can be listed multiple different ways. To have people type the way they speak and still return [relevant] results was huge for us." The company added a solution from NetSuite's partner EasyAsk to provide natural language capabilities to its search function. Through this, the company has increased its search relevancy for more than 45,000 products—leading to improvements in conversion rates, average order values, and customer satisfaction.
Surfacing products
Many manufacturers sell through third-party retail websites, like Amazon or, in the case of juvenile products company Mobi Technologies Inc., Babies"R"Us. Mobi needed to generate customer engagement there—particularly tricky since its most popular products, baby monitors, are commoditized.
The answer was finding a way to optimize its organic search rankings. Partnering with a company called HookLogic, Mobi ensured that search variables included whether the product is actually in stock or whether the shopper's previous behavior indicates that the product is relevant. If these variables check out, the search algorithms surface and highlight Mobi's products on Babies"R"Us above such dominant competitors as Summer Infant.
"We're not just seeing an increase of sales from Babies"R"Us, we're seeing an increase of calls coming into Mobi and a huge increase in people going to our website to obtain more information," says Andy Buckband, Mobi's national sales manager. "That's a plus for us. We're increasing sales across the board."

SANTA CRUZ -- A day after jurors found a Felton man guilty of second-degree murder for the Feb. 28, 2010, death of Deanna Dudley, her relatives called the verdict bittersweet.
"I'm happy with the verdict," said Dudley's sister, Danielle Dudley. "We're ready to turn the page. It's not something I'll ever forget, but it's time to ... do other stuff."
Tuesday, jurors convicted Richard Chavez of second-degree murder after a trial that lasted several weeks. Dudley, 37, died after being struck at least five times in the head with a heavy flashlight. Prosecutors said the couple had gotten into an alcohol-fueled fight over watching the Olympics at their Felton home.
Under state law, a second-degree murder conviction carries a required minimum sentence of 15 years to life. Chavez likely will face longer after Judge Stephen Siegel ruled Wednesday he would allow a prior prison conviction for burglary and DUI to be figured for sentencing purposes.
Dudley left behind two teenage children, Aubrey and Stewart Newell.
Stewart Newell, now 20, said of the verdict "I'm happy with it, honestly."
Still, it's not much of a consolation prize.
"There's no winning in this," Newell said. "My opinion is, him going away to prison is kind of a luxury. The true punishment is what he has to live with."
He said he's spent the past nearly three years feeling shell-shocked, unable to move on with his life while the trial lingered. He hopes to now enroll in classes at Cabrillo College and start to get on with his adult life.
He said he hasn't spoken to his sister, Aubrey Newell, in a long while, but hopes she will hear the news and be able to move on with her life, too.
"She's got a lot she needs to deal with," he said.
The ordeal has been especially hard for the Dudleys' mother, Danielle Dudley said. Deanna's brother died two years before she did -- it's hard enough for a mother to lose one child, let alone two.
"I think some of us are still hurt, others of us are just angry ... and sad," Dudley said. "She didn't deserve this."
She and Newell said Wednesday that they had known Chavez for years -- Dudley for about 15, Newell for his whole life -- but they never imagined things would end this way.
"They had their problems and everything, like every relationship, but this wasn't at all expected," Newell said.
Newell doesn't plan to speak at sentencing on April 19, though Danielle Dudley does, and she expects her mother will as well.
"I've said all I want to say, at least publicly," Newell said.
Neither has spoken with Chavez since Deanna's death. Newell says he wasn't allowed to because he was a witness in the trial but he hopes to some day be able to speak with Chavez about what happened.
"It's really opened my eyes to the differences in life," Newell said. "Three years later, we're still shocked. It's mind-boggling."
Newell said that the verdict does give him a little closure, though.
"There's a weight lifted," he said, pausing.

Models on The Face say tough skin is a must
A pretty face helps, but it's a tough skin that makes a model a success. Who better to teach that than Naomi Campbell?
On The Face, the new Oxygen competition show about modelling, Campbell serves as a mentor and team leader. Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha also have their own teams, and each brings a different style to the studio.
But all three women, in separate interviews, said that learning to deal with rejection is often the deciding factor in a long career as a supermodel versus being a one-season catwalk wonder.
Campbell, who also gets an executive producer credit, said that from the show's creative start, she wanted it to be "more real than reality". (There are 12 finalists in the first episode. At the end of each episode, the commercial client in the challenge chooses someone for a job. The big prize is to be "the face" of Ulta Beauty.)
Perhaps it's no surprise to anyone who has followed Campbell's 27-year career that she doesn't pull any punches. "Everyone who knows me knows I am based on truth. Everything you see and hear from me, if I'm not happy with something, I say it."
Campbell adds: "I was lucky to learn how rejection feels at a young age since I started working at 5, so it didn't sting so much if I was rejected from a modelling job. It's not always that there's something wrong with you, and I wanted my girls to know that. It's not always personal, but it's not always right, either."
The tough love isn't for dramatic effect, however, says Rocha. The goal at the end of the season is to turn women on to successful career paths — women who might someday wear the label "supermodel".
Rocha says the one-word, one-name supermodel such as "Naomi", "Kate" (Moss) or "Cindy" (Crawford) was tied to the industry heyday in the 1990s and would be really hard to recreate. "It was a time. Supermodels were to fashion like flappers were to dance."
Modern models need to be businesswomen, stylists, confident speakers and social-media whiz kids, says Kurkova, and it was her job to teach her team that not every day is a glamorous red carpet event or an energised catwalk show. "It's work," she says.
Still, it's important to have a full life, with other interests, because you'll bring all that to your look, says Kurkova, the only mum of the trio.
Nigel Barker, a photographer and image-maker, serves as sort of a host of The Face, putting him on the other side of the judge's chair he occupied on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. The former model says it doesn't help to pull any punches because photo shoots and designer castings are like pressure cookers, and it doesn't help anyone, including the contestants, to have their hand held too much.
If anyone can groom them, it's Campbell, Rocha and Kurkova, Barker says. "Coco has all those moves. She's great to shoot, but her signature is that she's a chameleon. Naomi is Naomi and can work anything. Karolina is the sexy one. She can move those hips, but she's a mum and is identifiable."
He adds: "There is not just one way to get to the top, and that's inspiring for all women."
There has to be something to The Face that people across the country and, really, around the world can connect to if the models are going to make it, the mentors say.
"Modelling is sort of a dream world, but you still have to relate," says Rocha. "You're not playing yourself all the time. I could be Juliet or the Mad Hatter, but like an actress, I need to reach the audience."
One might be surprised just how many women, and especially girls, have aspirations to have their face in front of the camera, according to Barker, who says he's stopped on the street on a daily basis to answer the question, "Could I be a model?"
What are among the best tips the model mentors shared with their teams?
Rocha: "You have to let loose a bit. It's OK to be quirky, just be confident doing it. ... Often the dorky girl in high school makes the best model."
Kurkova: "Everyone needs a thick skin, especially in the spotlight, but you also have to be sensitive and real. You don't want to be so strong that you're cocky."
Campbell: "I didn't let my girls off for a second. ... Every day, they need to be developing a style, a way of shining, their drive and passion."

Porcini Mac & Cheese Recipe
This recipe was inspired by a mushroom mac and cheese I had at a local restaurant. I incorporated the fall flavor of a pumpkin ale, and it turned out better than the original.—Laura Davis, Pocomoke City, Maryland
Featured In: 19 Warm and Cozy Fall Dinner Recipes
VERIFIED BY Taste of Home Test Kitchen
- 1 package (1 ounce) dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package (16 ounces) small pasta shells
- 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 1 cup chopped baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin or amber ale
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fontina cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup soft bread crumbs
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine dried mushrooms and boiling water; let stand 15-20 minutes or until mushrooms are softened. Remove with a slotted spoon; rinse and finely chop. Discard liquid. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente.
- Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add portobello mushrooms and shallot; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in milk and beer. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in cheeses, salt and reserved mushrooms.
- Drain pasta; add to mushroom mixture and toss to combine. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with bread crumbs. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.
Editor's Note: To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.

Cool collection of computerized mini-vehicles...
Spin Master TRON LEGACY Die-Cast Collection
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, RedfordFilms.com, PastGenerationToys.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, SmallJoes.com, MonkeyDepot.com, and Urban-Collector.com.
I loved Tron: Legacy, and I'm not just saying that because of my biased childhood connection with the first film. Visually it knocked my socks off with designs that were both familiar, yet entirely new and breathtaking. Take the fight scene in the "End of Line" bar. Just a perfectly choreographed sequence with Daft Punk's incredible music totally synced with the action. Loved it. Anyways, my love for Tron: Legacy naturally extended into my toy collection with Spin Master's cool die-cast vehicles. Priced cheap at only a few bucks (and even cheaper once the sales began, these micro representations of the computerized rides were easy to amass and display. Pictured is the Card Back for my favorite vehicle, the new Recognizer. I still dig the look of the original hovering menace, but Disney really did an excellent job with the update.

'Cooped up' Indians able to take BP in clear skies
CLEVELAND -- The sun has been a rare sight for the Indians during the first week of the regular season. It was shining bright on Tuesday afternoon, creating blue skies and giving Cleveland the chance to take pregame batting practice at Progressive Field.
Thanks to rain both out West and in Cleveland, Tuesday's workout marked only the second time in nine days that the Indians have been able to hit on the field.
"I know. How about that? I'm excited to get out there, man," Francona said. "I'm ready to go. We feel like we've been cooped up in here until game time."
Entering Tuesday's game against the Padres, the Indians were hitting .257 as a team with a .346 on-base percentage and .386 slugging percentage. Cleveland's only other time taking normal BP was on Sunday, when the team scored seven runs and churned out a season-high 15 hits in a loss to the Twins.
Francona downplayed the role that batting practice plays in the game that immediately follows.
"I don't know if it necessarily goes into each game," Francona said. "I don't know. Some of it has to do with the opposing pitcher. I just think getting your repetition in and being comfortable, it'll help you over the course of a number of games."
There are different schools of thought on the value of BP and whether it helps players. Asked for his take, Francona said hitting on the field is more important early in the season.
"I actually think it can be overrated deeper into the season, I really do," Francona said. "I think at times, we maybe do too much once guys are out there and it's hot. That's when you've got to remind yourself to back off. But, now, it's not overrated. Guys need repetition. They need to be on the field."

MIT's Matthew W. Kanan and Daniel G. Nocera explain how they recently discovered a catalyst that produces oxygen gas from water. Deposited on a conducting glass electrode, the catalyst made from the earth-abundant materials cobalt and phosphate produces oxygen gas from neutral pH water using a relatively low potential at room temperature and pressure. Although the catalytic reaction is not yet fully understood, its discovery moves the center one step closer to reaching its goal of using the sun's energy and water as a renewable energy source.Credit: Stephen E.

Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.

Perfectly drawn up play by Miami though, give Spo credit for that.
Lol Bosh was talkin so much before the game...only fitting
Hopefully this game wakes us up, we've been hibernating for months.
Grady got it right when he said: exhale
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
So Lebron can point and taunt lance but Lance is kicked out for that. I've never seen someone kicked out for less, ever.

From Miami forum...
The game was decided when the refs took those 3 points from Wade.
Funny. I thought the game was decided in the first half when the refs gave Miami like 3,000 points.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
But I think a little bit taunting is ok, as long as you don't say bad things...I mean Stephenson stared at him for like 2 seconds. Completely different situation if he really said something bad there.
Lebron whines more than anyone and taunts players and fans all the time. He gets away with it because of how good he is though.
Roy played his heart out.
Lance learned a valuable lesson.
PG looked like a player again.
Turner had to gain confidence from himself and from the other guys with that performance.
Because we own the tie breaker, it's basically a four game lead now.
Can you explain to me, why we already got the tiebreaker, when there is one more game to play? I don't know the rules, that's why I am asking
If Bosh had hit that Hill would've needed a police escort to get back to his home
I officially want Paul George taking all late game free-throws in the playoffs when possible.
There were like 15 evan turner hater posts on this board and then evan turner saved the day along with D-West's three-pointer
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
Time for a new sig.
We won shooting 37%. 10 games to go, it's time to get serious.
I didn't see that but I'll take your word for it.
After all the calls against us, I figured we deserved one. More than one, actually.
This league is a joke with officiating. The double tech on Lance-Wade was garbage since it was all Wade doing the instigating. But since Wade is a superstar and Lance has a "hot head" reputation, they had to give the double technical instead of having some stones and giving Wade the sole tech. Then the garbage T that got Lance ejected was complete crap. Lance should no better than to say anything, but it was pathetic to watch Wade goad that ref into giving Lance a T. The ref was like a little dog obeying his master.
The way this league caters to stars is just lame.

The White Sox 40-man roster is at 39.

Manchester United manager David Moyes believes Wayne Rooney is a man reborn.
Rooney celebrates his 28th birthday today having guided United to the brink of a place in the Champions League last 16.
And despite the concerns Alex Ferguson had about the striker last season, Moyes evidently has none.
"I was going to say he was back to the old Wayne Rooney but it might be better to say he is the new Wayne Rooney," said Moyes.
"He came back in great condition, trained really hard. "I really couldn't explain how hard he has worked. He has been incredible."
It was Rooney's mazy run past three defenders in the second minute and shot that cannoned off the post, struck hapless defender Inigo Martinez on the edge of the six-yard box and bounced in that gave United their 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.
Rooney could afford himself a smile of satisfaction, especially as Ferguson was watching from the Old Trafford stands.
"I haven't seen him since he retired," said Rooney.
"I'm happy under the new manager. The new coach that has come in (has given me) a new lease of life. I'm really enjoying working under David Moyes."
Asked if he would respond to Ferguson's comments, Rooney said: "No, I'm happy playing football. That's the past, I'm looking to the future."
Moyes is equally delighted, although he wants to look at Rooney's birth certificate.
"Is he 28?" said the Scot. "I thought he was a lot older that that."
Just as against Southampton last Saturday, United did waste a number of opportunities to make the victory more comfortable. It is a failing their manager knows has to be addressed.
"I still had the feeling of Saturday left inside me and while it was 1-0, you know you can always lose a goal at a corner or free kick," said Moyes.
"We do need to get more ruthless.
"It is okay saying we are unlucky but the job is to score and get them in the net. It's not just falling to one person. We all have to take responsibility. We have got to score more.
"It will make my job easier and for the players as well.
"We would be able to relax and play without that same anxiety."
Meanwhile, Moyes also confirmed Robin van Persie could be fit for Saturday's Premier League encounter with Stoke after sitting out the encounter.
"He had a couple of niggling injuries even before he went on international duty and they have all just caught up on him a bit," said Moyes.
"I thought if I had a chance to give him a breather I would and fortunately for us it worked out fine."

The world population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050. That's not disputed. Feeding all those hungry people will require more food produced using less land and less water. That's a fact. In fact, over the next 50 years, farmers and ranchers will have to produce more food than has been produced in the past 10,000 years combined. That's a lot to wrap one's mind around.
But it's the "how do we do that" issue that was the focus of the 2014 National Institute for Animal Agriculture annual conference in early May. According to a recently released white paper from the conference, reliance on the "Precautionary Principle" could prevent the adoption of new technologies to help agriculture meet growing food demand based perceived concerns and subjective biases rather than fact and science.
The precautionary principle is a decision-making principle designed to initiate preventative action as a response to scientific uncertainty, shift the burden of proof to the proponents of a potentially harmful activity, explore alternative means to achieve the same goal, and involve stakeholders in the decision-making process. In practical terms, it's a political tool used to block innovation.
The white paper identifies an often-quoted definition of the principle developed by a group of environmentalists in the 1990s that said "When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not established scientifically…It must also involve an examination of the full range of alternatives, including no action." Or according to one speaker at the conference, when the principle is "selectively applied to politically disfavored technologies and conduct," it is used as a "barrier to technological development and economic growth."
What does this have to do with animal agriculture? Well-funded opposition is increasingly working to influence legislation and regulation, and undermine consumer confidence in food safety for genetically engineered ingredients, according to the white paper. The paper highlighted a nearly two-decades' old effort to obtain approval for a genetically modified salmon that has been held up by activists and their attorneys based on economic and social concerns, not science. Further, the result is causing some technology companies to move overseas to places like China and Brazil.
In other words, opposition to technology – technology that could "improve food availability, lower food costs, and enhance biomedical research, treatments and production – could result in a situation where the United States is exporting our researchers and importing our food. Increasingly, opponents to technology who work to block modern agricultural advancements are protecting us hungry. While farmers and ranchers can meet the needs of today's consumers, meeting future food demands will be impossible without innovation and technology.
So what do we do? The speakers at the conference suggest part of the solution relies replacing the precautionary principle with a focus on key performance indicators related to continuous improvement and sustainability that are "outcome based, science driven, technology neutral, and transparent." The white paper says then those indicators should be used to help build trust among consumers in the production practices utilized by farmers and ranchers. According to the white paper, the use of sustainability key performance indicators can aid in communicating with consumers, lawmakers and regulatory agencies about the benefits of technology and help keep government decisions on new food technologies based on science, rather than fear and emotion.
The full white paper is available to be viewed on the National Institute for Animal Agriculture's website.

China's nuclear power heavy weights are looking to build an atmomic reactor in Bradwell, according to national reports.
Bradwell's party decomissioned Magnox power plant is said to be a new favourite for a Chinese-built and designed plant.
French utility company EDF and Beijing's early talks identified the area as a likely site for a new station.
Elsewhere in the county, China General Nuclear Power Corporation and China Nuclear Corporation have agreed to help fund the UK's first new £16bn atomic power plant in nearly two decades.
It will be built at Hinckley Point, Somerset, by EDF.

I have been harder on DJ than anyone by far. He did a hell of a job today. Didn't know he would be starting until right before game time. Maybe that was the key. Just go out and play like you're capable. If he's been pouting and pressing because he isn't starting he'd better get over that. He isn't good enough to start in this league but he could be an important player on a good team.
I don't know what to say about Roy that hasn't been said. Just sad.

If you told me that, in order to win this game, we would need a clutch three and four huge free throws from DJ Augustine to finish out, I would have laughed and then cried. But dammit, dude got it done, and good on him.
The whole game was such a fierce battle with both teams nearly killing each other for loose balls and rebounds. Very playoff-like. For the first half of the fourth quarter, I think the only points scored were Ben's two threes. Great defense and very tense down the stretch. Great win to end the year on.
I'm still frightfully worried about what is becoming a groin epidemic in Indy. Absolutely terrifying.
Pacers have the best last 10 record in the East at the moment.
Just something I've been thinking about, and I know it won't happen, but why not play DJ at the point, move Hill to the 2, and send Lance to the sixth man role? I know Vogel doesn't see Lance as a point guard, but it would help with our bench scoring.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
DJ played well but Paul George played us back into this game.
It would also decrease the defensive intensity of our starting unit. No thank you.
I also saw the Grizzlies broadcast and at one point they showed a graphic where Z-bo is averaging. 116 ppg. Why isn't this guy a perennial all-star?
Anyway, I'm glad that DJ played better today. It improves his value around the league and we are gonna need him to be a salary throw-in at worst, so I'm glad he may now be viable. First time I've seen him play for us and he wasn't pouting the whole time. When he moves back to the bench I'm sure he will be back to his old ways.
There is also no doubt in my mind that his handles are worse than PGs. He had a decent game where some 3s and some freethrows went down, but paint me unimpressed. His play mirrored that of our teams play today. Yeah, it can win you a game, but it isn't sustainable.
Then he took his 6' and 13 inch vert into the land of trees and got his mess swatted... Still can't stand watching him and Sam Young on the court
I've always wondered if DJ wouldn't look like a completely different player if he had more time with our starters... His offense is improved with far less attention being drawn to him for scoring and his passing prowess is better received with better scorers around him... On D Hibbert cleans up a lot more of his messes...
I'm not saying start him... But I am saying I think you squeeze more juice from that particular orange by starting him... Moreso than anyone else on our team...
And does anyone else not find it just the slightest bit refreshing that for once we demoted a PG and it didn't turn into a giant drawn out drama?
And Roy...
I don't understand why he doesn't just focus on D and rebounding for a while... And get his points within the flow of the game... We shouldn't be forcing ANY offense through him until his wrist heals... Just have him take open looks and garbage point opportunities until then...
And I haven't been able to watch the game yet so someone please tell me that it was PG that primarily guarded Gay and held him to 3/17 shooting... To go along with him getting 21 pts, 6 reb, and 5 ast... PG is becoming what I had always hoped... A "stat sheet stuffer" and real impact player on both sides of the ball...

Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
I'm currently reading the Grizzlies' game thread (http://boards.grizzliesonline.com/in...c=14768&st=100) and they make some valid points about their team.
Lionel Hollins elected to give minutes to Darrel Arthur due to Gasol's foul trouble. Darrel had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks but also had 4 turnovers and according to them was not good at D either.
And they make this legit question. Why didn't they use Haddadi? Do you feel that the game would turn in their favor if they played another 7 footer?
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
On a side note, I noticed some comments about Augustin pouting. I was under the impression that he took it professionally and was working hard during practices?
Great win by the Pacers, really loved PG's effort defensively on Gay and 4 of 10 from 3pt. land.....man it is semi-frustrating seeing how confidently he shoots from behind the arc at home and then how
shell-shocked he looks from distance away. So odd can't think of any other Pacer's who have had this problem, gotta assume he discontinues this trend at some point but it really is odd that when I watch
him shoot at home I am shocked when he misses and when I watch him shoot 3s on the road I'm shocked when it goes in lol.
Huge game for DJ really hope this performance sparks him, I was one of the people that really loved this signing and thought he would be a better fit than DC was and man has he made me look bad for
that thought. I hope he does salvage his season in the latter half though and at least be a decent back up point.
Liked seeing the boost from B. Hans I was starting to think (and am still on the fence) he didn't belong on this roster and he may need to be cut, and we find another 3rd point, but he made some
plays tonight. I root for the guy watched a lot of his ND games and loved watching him play in college but the recent stretch for him seemed like his ball handling just wasn't good enough to keep him in
NBA, hope I'm wrong but just may be the facts. But again great win and please Roy get the offense together it is crazy how amazingly accurate his hook shot was last year and how wildly inaccurate it is this
year, I don't want to be one of those people that blames his big contract etc. for it but man I'm running out of answers on that issue, I mean advance stats show he shot the hook shot at a clip above 50%
last season and haven't looked in a while but last time I looked it was in the low 30s just really confusing.

If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
Well, in fairness, they'd say the same about us after a loss.
This space for rent.
I'm not saying that Haddadi is that good. But he is a 7 footer that can play good defense. Since Arthur was killing them on offense, Haddadi could have been the better option for a team equally big as theirs.

That's the reason why I take some comments here with a grain of salt
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.

Pacers shot 20-24 from the line...83%. Around .800 FT shooting would be a nice thing to retain.

DJs demeanor always appears uninterested and pouty to me. He never provides a spark. (doesn't appear to play hard) But yesterday I saw a bright eyed kid who was competing and motivated, though I only felt like he played adequately. I'm sorry, if you can play that way when you are starting, you can play with that same attitude coming off the bench.
I'm inclined to agree. I haven't watched Haddadi enough to make an accurate evaluation of his skills and talents but there's no reason not to develop a 7'2 265 lbs Center, especially when he can play good D. Haddadi is a quite good post defender and they could use him in several occassions.
For instance, the Grizzlies used Haddadi in a game agains the Lakers last March. He played almost 13 mins and contributed 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks. He can contribute defensively and on the boards but Memphis has only used him 5 games this season.
It makes sense for them since they want to develop Darrell Arthur in order to be their PF of the future but Darrell can lose them some games. He absolutely contributed to our comeback with his turnovers early in the game. But I understand that coaches need to build confidence and trust with the players that consider part of their future core. It's apparent that Haddadi is not in their long-term plans. Which is a shame, really.
I had a similar opinion last year on Vogel's lack of usage of Fesenko. I feel that both Kyrylo and Hamed can be solid back-up bigs, if given the opportunity.

A Strong Signal From DirecTV
In my technical-analysis work, DirecTV (DTV) is one name that's caught my eye lately. This is partially due to the similarity of the corrective declines within the stock's larger uptrend, and I'm also liking the price level of DirecTV's Nov. 13 low. This area contains a strong confluence of Fibonacci price relationships between $47.48 and $48.06.DirecTV (DTV) -- Daily I Source: Dynamic Trader View Chart » View in New Window »
Let's explore the daily chart first. The first major decline, as illustrated above, lasted 36 days and amounted to a $7.15 drop in the shares. The second lasted 30 days and came to $7.48, and the most recent decline -- again, into the Nov. 13 low -- was similar to these, totaling $7.17 and having lasted 33 days....272 more words left in this article.

Your minority view is crammed down our throats every day, multiple times. It's not exactly what you say, although it does have a large part of it. It's how you go about it. You come onto a Colts forum and spew anti-Colts sentiment, and then wonder why everyone gets offended. that's just common sense man. You might as well go to the bear exhibit at the zoo and scream "BEARS SUCK" right in their face for 8 hours a day every day, and expect the bears not to react, and act like the bears are stupid for disagreeing with your opinion that bears sucks.
There's no logical reason for that, which leads us to believe you just enjoy conflict. And all we're here to do is talk positively about our favorite team.

Well, lets get it back in hand. I don't mind someone disagreeing with me or even being very adament about it. I do take exception to name calling and I try my best not to participate in that. I have acknowledged that Luck played great and it was a wonderful win and the team is doing much better than most folks would have expected... But, some folks won't be satisfied unless they see blood..... ...

Then you should change the name of the forum to "The Positive Pacers Digest". I respect it when you want to talk positively about your favorite team. They are my favorite team too but I am disenchanted with then and I don't see everything as being just wonderful all of the time.... I think I get to say that too without everyone wanting to kill my first born child (no, I don't really have any children) for saying it. I'm fine with people disagreeing with me but when they start calling names, they stop over the line of being civil. I try my best not to do that no matter how bad the attack really is. I think you can see a difference between my thoughts about the Pacers and what I say about the Colts....... ... In reality, I am very easy to get along with....
Luck so far: Sitting comfortably in 4th for Total QBR. Not too shabby for a rookie playing in such unprecedented circumstances.

Well I'll just simply say it more politely this time, I'm out of here.
We'll call it .... losing respect for the people running the site, as the reason. This has gotten, and been out of hand for a while. I waited, and waited for something to be done, and nothing. Between Travmil and I they've now lost 2 people who were serious contributors to the site. Hope it was worth it.
To the rest of you, good luck in the future. I hope this gets fixed, but I won't be around to see it. Enjoy.
JMV a moment ago: "If you're not on board with Andrew Luck now, you're just a sour a-hole." lol
Well they can't say they didn't see this coming.
Here's a telling statistic: between Travmil and xBulletproof saying adios to this site, PD just lost 10,656 posts/contributions to this board.
But hey, when you got a kid in the backseat constantly yelling, "ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?," I'm sure the only suitable response to them is to ignore them. I guess sometimes that would work but when it doesn't, it sure is annoying for everyone else that's along for the ride.
Wait a minute... I thought you said not to call you names?
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I'm pretty sure JMV was being serious.
Let me give you some other statistics:
This board has been around longer than you.
It has approximately 78000 Threads and over 1,500,000 posts
That's not counting the 250,000.we lost due to a fire.
18,000 ppl have at some stage been a member here and about 900 are currently active.we run this board, not a lynch mob
I can bother you with hits etc but let's not go there, I'm sure you get the picture;
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
There was a idiot who called in last week blasting Luck saying among other imagined things that he had a poor attitude. Said idiot got roasted rest of the show in rather hilarious fashion. For a split second, I wondered if we knew who the caller was....
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
It wasn't me. I see nothing wrong with his attitude and I have never said that..... ...
Fine. It was still funny...... ...
4,404 yards, 13 TD's, led a team that was expected to be 4-12 for the year to 5-3, Rookie of the year written all over it, ESPN is even starting to notice Luck is the better rookie than RGIII
I would love to be bothered with the weekly hit count and post count of the past couple months or so, specifically for the Colts forum. That would definitely help me get the picture. But if you're not that interested in developing the Colts forum into what the Pacers forum has become, then I completely understand that. Heck, just looking at it now, there are 98 viewers of the Pacers forum, and 35 for the Colts. After the game the Colts just had? Why is that?
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
The avg on pacers board is 189 and colts 19
Fact of life, it used to be 3
It is also the reason things got to fester so long, we took notice to late and the Lynch mob was alreadyvoting, not completely understanding what the chain if command is here.
It ends now. Penalties are given indiscriminately to everyone that breaks our rules, if that causes you to leave, then pls mind the door closing.if we keep it civil you find the admins nice guys in general.
Oh and don't call s stupid. That's not a good way to get along
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Just gonna say this
OlBlu's attitude when he first started posting on the Colts board sucked, I think even he would admit that now. Whether it was saying he was waiting on Irsay to die or saying that Luck would be taken off on a stretcher as Clay Matthews glowered at him, I think even Blu would admit these were in poor taste and riled the board up against him. Honestly, I think he's been much better for the past week or so, I can only assume that maybe he realized he was being extremely abrasive when it wasn't necessary, but I also cannot be surrpised that he riled so many up against him. I mean I was about ready to nuke my account a couple weeks ago over the way he was acting. Which, yes IMO, was very inflammatory, but I do think he has calmed down, but it has caused at least two good posters to leave and has just caused a general uneasiness to the board. Whether it be between members and admins or members and members. Not sure how to fix it really.
I can say that I think the constant calling for him to be banned or punished in public was a terrible move. Communication should have and probably still should be done in private. But whatever I think it's too far gone at this point. Blu has gotten more reasonable over the past couple weeks IMO, but he was so combative early on I am not surprised that a lot cannot turn the other cheek.

Behind the Scenes: The Sand- and Seashell-Filled Table
Today, project manager Dylan Eastman shares the special experience of designing and sourcing material for that amazing dining room table. As of today, it's the most pinned of our virtual tour images on Pinterest. You certainly do love it, as do we! See the dining table in our great room virtual tour and see the exclusive how-to project here.
In designing the kitchen table, I wanted to use reclaimed wood to counter some of the more refined elements in the front rooms. I also wanted to add color without relying heavily on place setting and flowers. With the coastal setting of this year's house, I knew a beach motif (done right) would accent the wood while giving an additional dimension to the table. So I went on the hunt for local sea glass and shells.
On the drive to Harker's Island, I discovered a place call Captain Blaine's, a store that sells fresh seafood and local crafts. The owner walks the beach regularly to collect shells and sea glass (which she sorts by color) to sell in the shop. I carefully picked through her inventory of beach treasures, looking for just the right colors and textures. Portions of bottles with imprinted text were saved. Remnants of old decorative glass windows were culled. Then I mixed in pearlescent sea scallops, iridescent witch's nails and purple wampum to accent the glass.
After making my purchase, we chatted at length about the island and the origin of the glass and shells. Originally home to the Coree native American tribe, Harker's Island attracted residents through the colonial period. In the late 1800s, hurricanes drove even more residents to the island from the storm-devastated outer banks. Until 1941, the only way on or off the island was by boat or ferry — it was not uncommon for residents to cast household debris (back then, mostly wood-, porcelain- or glass-based) into the sound. I figured that most of the sea glass I selected was between 70 and 100 years old.
During the table build, sand from our beach on the Core Sound was laid out to dry under the cabin cam. LEDs were run around the interior perimeter of the table to give a 21st-century accent. Then show host Chris Grundy and Kitchen Crashers host Alison Victoria carefully completed the beach motif by placing each piece of glass or shell in its perfect location. A signed message in a bottle was even left for the future winner of this home. Finally, a piece of clear glass was set over the motif to complete the top. In the end, this table represents the history of our house, the history of the coast and a modern take on upcycling.

Shanghai Tang is a luxury brand that focuses on Chinese-inspired fashion, accessories, and home decoration products. In Fall 2008, amidst a growing global economic crisis, Raphael Ie Masne, executive chairman of Shanghai Tang, had to decide what to do with the recently vacant creative director position. Did Shanghai Tang need to hire a new creative director at this uncertain economic time? Or could he take on the role of the creative director himself? In addition, Ie Masne had to grapple with balancing the perennial tensions between business imperatives and the creative aspirations of his designers. How could he better manage employees who see themselves as artists?
To surface and discuss the key issues, tensions, and challenges in managing creative employees/artists in commercial organizations. Students should develop an appreciation of the key tensions between designers and businesspeople (e.g., differences in motivation and identity) and recommend possible solutions and best practices. Students should also see that issues discussed and lessons learnt in this case is not restricted to the fashion industry but could be applied to other contexts where creative aspirations and commercial imperatives collide.

Belnome, Riefenhauser knocking on Rays' door
ST. PETERSBURG -- In a clubhouse full of most of the Rays' top Minor League prospects, C.J. Riefenhauser and Vince Belnome still managed to stand out a little bit.
It's not just that Belnome, 25, was the oldest one in the room Wednesday for the Rays' Winter Development Camp, or that the 23-year-old Riefenhauser has already pitched under the spotlight of the All-Star Futures Game. They're both on the 40-man roster, but so are right-handers Jesse Hahn and Kirby Yates, though the latter was unable to make it to the camp from Hawaii.
No, it's more so that the two of them are realistically not far from the Majors. Belnome is an infielder who put up excellent offensive numbers last year with Triple-A Durham and presents the kind of defensive versatility that Tampa Bay desires. Riefenhauser is a bulldog lefty reliever who posted a 1.22 ERA in 2013 between Double-A Montgomery and Durham.
Riefenhauser was a 20th-round Draft pick in 2010, and Belnome was taken by the Padres in the 28th round a year earlier.
"Draft position only really matters in terms of your signing bonus -- and while that matters, once you get into the system, it's much more about who you are, how you perform and how your skills evolve," Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. "Both of those guys are examples of not letting the Draft round affect their desire and quest to get to the big leagues."
Belnome said he believes he's ready to make the leap, and he hopes his versatility -- he's comfortable at second, third and first, and is willing to play anywhere -- will help make that a reality. Riefenhauser, meanwhile, worked more in the second half on a changeup that could help make him more than just a situational lefty in the Majors, and he said Wednesday he's "starting to get a good feel for it, so I'm excited."
Farm director Mitch Lukevics praised both players' professionalism, and they showed it when asked about being only a step away from the Majors.
"It's definitely exciting that it's in the mix. When, or when I'm ready, I have no idea. That's for them to decide," Riefenhauser said. "They're great at it. Look at their track record. I'm going to try to get better day in and day out, and see where it goes from there."
"Nothing's out of reach. No rosters are set or anything. They have guys that are obviously going to be on the team, but you never know," added Belnome. "If I go out there and do well, I could get sent down or I could make the team."

Arcade plan brings Nelson town centre boost
1:36pm Wednesday 4th June 2014
By Peter Magill
1:36pm Wednesday 4th June 2014
By Peter Magill
A MAJOR redevelopment of a key block in Nelson town centre has been given the green light by councillors, who hope it will provide a major boost to the town's fortunes.
An L-shaped block linking Scotland Road and Leeds Road, formerly home to both the town's Woolworth's and Burtons menswear, is the focus of the revamp by the Mayan Partnership.
Not only will a shopping arcade be reinstated but 23 apartments will also be created by the Nelson-based company.
The planning permission, granted by the Nelson area committee, will include a first-floor extension above 7-9 Leeds Road.
New shopfronts and access ramps will be incorporated at the Scotland Road and Leeds Road ends of the new complex.
Coun Mohammed Iqbal said he understood that the developers were operating under a 'tight deadline' and required a decision on all outstanding matters to ensure it could move forward promptly.
Coun Nadeem Ahmed added: "This is a fantastic scheme for Nelson.
"The building has been empty for a long, long time and I think that this part of Scotland Road is moving forward.
"I think we should, as an area committee, be working together for the benefit of Nelson. I believe there are a lot of negative things said about Nelson but I think it is our role to talk it up."
Another planning application earlier this year, for the first floor of the premises, saw permission given for 11 apartments, as part of the same project.
The latest announcement is potentially the largest since Nelson Bazaar was established in the former Poundstretcher premises, further along Leeds Road.
And it comes after tough times for the town centre, which saw Tesco leave their Goitside store, only two traders remaining in the Victory Centre and a number of vacant units in Pendle Rise.

Melding music and movement
www.theclaycenter.orgCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Don't expect to see anything really new when the Charleston Ballet and the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra present their10th annual performance of "The Nutcracker" in three shows Friday and Saturday. Instead, Kim Pauley said the audience members should watch for what they overlooked in past performances of Tchaikovsky's holiday favorite."You can see all three shows and can't possibly see everything that 's there," said Pauley, the ballet's artist director. That's how she planned it. She said she wanted a rich, full production with nice sets and costumes "so you can see it year after year and say, 'I never saw that before.'"Before the ballet and symphony collaborated, the Charleston dance troupe performed a shorten version of the two-act ballet to taped music for audiences made up mostly of school children.At the time, Pauley said she didn't know what to do with the first act of "The Nutcracker," where at a Christmas Eve party of family and friends young Clara, danced this year by Rhiannon Turley, is given a nutcracker by her godfather, a toymaker."The first act is not a favorite of mine. There's not much dancing in it," said Pauley. "In the first act, the story is set up, and that is important. But I had seen so many bad versions, and I didn't want to do another one." She said she started researching and finally decided to connect the first act with the second act through the details, even down to the smallest ones that the audience would pick up on, perhaps even subconsciously. Every character in the first act is coordinated with similar characters in the second act.For instance, the uninvited, flirtatious guest at the party becomes a mysterious Arabian character, and Clara's grandmother in act one and Mother Gigogne in act two are played by the same person (Ted Brightwell).During the first act in "The Nutcracker," an exhausted, over-excited Clara falls asleep in the parlor. She dreams of fighting mice and, in the second act, a fantasy world.Pauley said her concept was based on those mixed up dreams where people show up in strange circumstances and strange combinations with others.Changes in the annual "Nutcracker" do happen, she pointed out, because the children and dancers change, adding their own flavor to the production. More than 75 local dancers and guest artists will perform in this year's production.Sonia Rodriguez and Piotr Stanczyk, principal dancers with the National Ballet of Canada, will perform the roles of Cavalier and the Sugar Plum Fairy. The two are friends of Pauley's long-time dance partner Olivier Wecxsteen, a former principal dancer with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and Boston Ballet, who will dance the role of the toymaker, Drosselmeyer. It was through Wecxsteen, Pauley said, that the Canadian dancers appeared at the FestivALL dance gala this summer.Pauley said she staged one full-length version of "The Nutcracker" to taped music, and then started talking about collaborating with the symphony with then executive director Paul Helfrich.For dancers, she said, live music heightens their sensitivity. "The symphony is so wonderful, you sometimes forget it's live," she said.In the beginning, she said Bob Turizziani, principal clarinetist, conducted the orchestra because Maestro Grant Cooper had made other commitments.Cooper will conduct the three performances this year, which are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Clay Center. "It's a unique experience for the audience," said Pauley, pointing out that nowhere else in the state is "The Nutcracker" danced to a full, live orchestra.
