R.A. Dickey was worth more to the New York Mets as a trade chip than as a member of their rotation.
That is the cold, hard truth and the justification for the long-negotiated trade that will send the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner to the Toronto Blue Jays—assuming Dickey and his new team can agree to a contract extension by Tuesday afternoon, a stipulation first reported by FoxSports.com.
And it is a truth that general manager Sandy Alderson never has hid from the public. Throughout the "extend him or trade him?" debate that had dominated much of the Mets' offseason, the team has been painfully honest with both Dickey and the fan base that it would explore trade options for the righthander.
Trading him isn't a popular, or easy, decision. After all, the team's brass admires Dickey as much as the fans because of his work ethic, outgoing nature and character—not to mention his dominance on the mound. Sure, the front office wasn't thrilled that he used a team charity event earlier this week to voice his frustrations about his contract situation, but let's not overlook the fact that he was dressed as an elf at a team holiday event. How many other Cy Young Award winners have done that lately?
As it turns out, the trade shapes up as a win-win for the team and its outgoing ace, not to mention for the Blue Jays.
The Mets were uncomfortable giving Dickey a contract extension for several reasons. First, he is 38—not necessarily old in knuckleballer years but still old enough to doubt he has many more career years in him. Next, a knuckleball pitcher can be as unpredictable as the pitch itself. If Dickey threw a 91-mph fastball instead of the witchcraft knuckler, he likely would have been signed, sealed and delivered weeks ago. Finally, the team needs to get younger and needs to address glaring holes in its lineup. It will accomplish that with the acquisitions of prized catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud and minor league righthander Noah Syndergaard, among others.
This is a classic example of selling high.
Dickey, under contract for just $5 million next season, reportedly asked the Mets for a two-year extension worth $26 million—a request that was far below market value in today's ridiculous economic reality (see: five years, $80 million for Anibal Sanchez). And he has the stats to prove he isn't a one-year wonder and that his go-to pitch isn't some circus oddity. Over the past three seasons, Dickey ranks eighth in the majors with eight complete games, 11th with a 2.95 ERA and 19th with 616 2/3 innings pitched.
Assuming this trade is finalized, the Mets will get a haul of promising young players who should serve as part of their long-term foundation, Dickey will get his extension and the chance to pitch for a contender and the Blue Jays will further strengthen their rotation and playoff chances.
Remember, it was Toronto that struck first in this wild offseason, orchestrating a 12-player blockbuster with the Miami Marlins that netted shortstop Jose Reyes, righthander Josh Johnson, lefthander Mark Buehrle, infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio and catcher John Buck (who reportedly will be flipped to the Mets in this deal). Not long after that eye-opener, it again made headlines by signing outfielder Melky Cabrera.
After finishing the 2012 season with a 4.82 ERA (25th in the majors), the Blue Jays' rotation will have the potential to be among the best. Add Dickey, Johnson and Buehrle to Brandon Morrow and Ricky Romero, and you have a very impressive starting five (with additional depth to dip into, if necessary). Of course, all of these additions will have come at the cost of numerous top prospects but also with the promise of tremendous returns.
On paper, the Blue Jays will have the talent to compete for their first AL East title since 1993 (the year they won their most recent World Series title). However, as the many former Marlins on their roster can attest, championships aren't won on paper and they aren't won in December. But general manager Alex Anthopoulos' bold maneuvering has turned franchise into a legitimate contender.
And that's something the Mets hope they also can become after sacrificing Dickey.

I'd be a lot more bummed if I didn't see this coming for the last 6 months.
I'm also cool with it because the Colts aren't winning anything for a few years. This gives Peyton his best chance to finish his career strong. I'm going to immediately be a fan of whatever team he goes to.
ESPN.com news services
Peyton Manning's 14-year career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts is coming to an end.
Sources close to the team told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the announcement will come at a press conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday with both Manning and owner Jim Irsay in attendance.
The decision to pass on the $28 million bonus owed Manning and not to pick up the four remaining years on his contract means Manning will become a free agent, and sources told Mortensen that he intends to continue to play.
The four-time league MVP missed the entire 2011 season after having his third neck surgery in 19 months, a fusion of two vertebrae. His doctors have medically cleared him to resume his career and Manning has increased his throwing regimen.
Several sources have told ESPN during the past month that Manning's throwing strength has dramatically improved as his nerves continue to regenerate following his latest neck surgery Sept. 8. Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed the single-level cervical fusion, has stated publicly that he has cleared Manning to resume his playing career.
Manning has broken all of Indianapolis' career records for quarterbacks and had never missed a start before last season. He's taken the Colts to the playoffs 11 times, captured seven AFC South titles in eight years, won two AFC championships, one Super Bowl title and a Super Bowl MVP Award.
The Colts have the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft and are likely to draft former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck or former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
Now that's it's official it hits me deep. Thanks you Peyton for 14 great years
I mean we all knew they werent paying the bonus, but does that mean hes gone for sure? Cant they still sign him to a new contract?
I Bleed Blue
Seriously doubt that happens. Say good bye to an era.
Of course they "could", but don't you think Irsay and Peyton have discussed that by now?

Bad Move
I Bleed Blue
Polian on ESPN now.
It doesn't hurt at all. I love the fact that we got to see Peyton play here. But I've really been resigned to this outcome since about week 4 of this past season.
Is it so Colts fans can tar and feather him?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
They said on the news that they tried to renegotiate the contract and signing bonus and Manning refused.
I don't see that the Colts had much of a choice, you can't pay someone 28 million not knowing if he'll ever be the same.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
If Manning signed with the Dolphins then he would return to Indy this season as we host them. Whoa.
I have come to terms with this situation for a long time now, anyone who didn't see the writing on the wall was only fooling themselves honestly. I hold no ill will towards this decision it is what it is. He gave us the best 14 seasons we could have ever dreamed of and now that it looks like that it is over and he is deciding to continue to compete I wish him nothing but success going forward. class act.
It just shouldn't have ended this way. If Polian would've done a better job it wouldn't have ended this way.
Assuming Manning refused to renegotiate then circumstances dictated Irsay had no choice.
Tomorrow will be a sad day for the franchise if the reports are true.

wow I'm very sad... my childhood icon gone from one of my favorite professional teams...
Mike Chappell is saying it's still not official and that Manning and Irsay are sharing a flight from Florida to Indy. Says it's likely though that they are going in a different direction.
@mchappell51: Irsay/Manning sharing flight back to Indy from FL and will continue dialogue. But end game likely will be each going in different direction.
Not trying to reach but this was just tweeted. Im not believing anything until that PC tomorrow.

This almost felt like Reggie's last game as a Pacers
Feeling's a little different since he'll still be playing but with a different uni but definitely a sad day in Indy
It's a shame he played for an organization with such a flawed philosophy. Peyton deserved more than the one Super Bowl he won here.
Thanks for the memories Peyton. Look forward to seeing you hoist up one more Lombardi before all is said and done. Just don't go to Miami because it won't happen for you there.
I don't care what anyone else says --Peyton is the greatest QB of all time. No one ever carried a team the way he did for so long.

Not even close to surprising, but still sad all the same.
Thank you for the memories and everything you've done for us, Peyton. I will definitely root for you wherever you end up.
I hope Grigson has learned one thing that no matter how great your QB may be his backup must be lots better than the Sorgi/Painter types we've had for so long. What was Polian thinking?

I think there's also an onus on the monks to avoid the temptations of over-eating, and there is guidance in the Sutta & Vinaya Pitakas in this regard. If monks had "3 parts of rice, to 1 part of curry", such issues wouldn't be so prevalent. Given more food than they can possibly consume, it's no wonder then that often there will be a preference for the tastiest (read: unhealthiest) morsels.
Education may be useful, but even in the absence of that, one can ascertain from one's waistline and general state of well-being, which food, and in what quantities, contribute to better health.

Great win.
This was one i was concerned about. They have some guys that are a hard cover for us. Forth game in five, etc.
This is a game that (a couple years ago) we may have gotten rolled.
Our focus and maturity are impressive.
I can see our starters really getting comfortable with each other. They just do not get rattled when they get down or miss some shots. They know how to work to their advantage.
The second unit is coming around. When we can get some consistent time for Scola, Watson, and Danny/Lance to work together I think we will have a very tuff bunch for opponent's back-ups to match up against.
Season's off to a great start. And contrary to what I've read here and there - We are not peaking early.
They've not seen our best yet!
And that's pretty awesome for a 7-0 squad.
To steal an analogy Bill Simmons used a few years ago: Watching Pierce and Garnett on the Nets would be like watching Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc boss people around the set of some lame sitcom. This just doesn't look right and clearly these two guys would still rather be wearing green. Pierce has looked OK this season, but KG looks like a corpse out there. At the end of the game, Hibbet altered a shot of his and made him shoot an air ball like two inches away from the basket.
Roy's postgame interview: http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nb...bert-alink.nba. A jolly fellow.
What an excellent interview.

wanted to check in on the azz end of tonight's azz whoopin, typed in "nets.com"..... wtf? give it a try
"We believe in this locker room that we can get the No. 1 seed and we started the year with that attitude," said Pacers forward David West after registering 18 points and eight rebounds. "The fact that Game 7 of the conference finals wasn't in our home building we felt was the difference in a trip to the Finals and we're going to do everything in our power to get a Game 7 in our building. And we have to start from the beginning of the season."
"If we're going to have playoff success, having home-court advantage would give us an edge," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "We were 8-1 at home in the playoffs last year. To lose a Game 7 on the road, that's a tough environment. We're trying for that No. 1 seed. We're going for it."
For what its worth, I just checked out the schedule. Now I might be wrong but we only have one more stretch of 4 games in 5 nights. @ Boston, VS Utah, VS Golden State, @ Charlotte.
And thats the beginning of March. Thats three teams that could very easily be in full fledged tank mode.
The best part to this start of the season is the fact that we could easily be playing a lot better (especially offensively) and we still are 7-0. Our effort and fire has been there every game, especially in the 3rd quarters.
I know a lot of posters like to **** on the idea of Danny coming back and being a valuable part of this team, but I sincerely believe a healthy DG gives us EXACTLY what we need which is one more consistent scorer from the perimeter. Once we shore up those stretches of ugly offensive basketball, we'll be even tougher to beat.
Very impressive start to the year however.

I said it last night and ill say it again, smothering defense and it will only get better with Danny. Replacing Hill/OJ with Danny gives them more length, better rebounding, experience, and he's a major offensive upgrade even if he's 50%. Surely he can average more than 5-6.
This team is STACKED.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
I also think the players aren't quite used to Scola yet either, he's had his moments but overall I feel like he'll be a lot better than he's been at the beginning of the season.
Just shooting the 17-20 foot jumpers is so nice, I think Scola tries to post on guys he shouldn't sometimes, especially when Roy is in the game, there's spacing issues and times where he just loses the ball.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Why would Lance say "Wow"? I'd think that his first reaction would have been....."Eh, been there....done that against LeDecision and the Heat". ( well, sort of....but it was at the end of the 3rd QTR as a buzzer beater )

That's funny, right there. Was that part of the trade?
[~]) ... Cheers! Go Pacers!
Quick thoughts, from next morning...
1. Because the positives are easy and everyone is lumping them on, we'll start with the nitpicking. PG24 is falling a little too in love with his three. You hate to tell him "no", but I'd like to see more midrange shots like he buried in the second half. Just one play, too, but I didn't like that he hesitated at the rim on a drive in the first half and got stuffed. Looks like he wasn't sure whether to dunk or lay up and went up soft...again, the result of just playing a little too passive.
2. Again, nitpicking: Lance Stephenson hasn't seemed dialed in defensively the last two games. Allowing penetration on drives, having some problems with going over/under screens, not always getting his rotations right. It's more a mental thing than anything, but I think we'll concede Lance will have off nights on offense...he just needs to make sure his head is on straight on the defensive end.
3. I think this was a great game to show any remaining doubters why George Hill should start over CJ Watson. Hill's shot wasn't quite there, but his poise on the ball and general command of the entry pass was. Watson struggled mightily down the stretch, though still glad to have him on the team. Just hope I don't see much more of him trying to be "the man" when George and Hibbert are on the floor at the same time. And Stephenson for that matter.
4. Hibbert's jump shot is actually a thing of beauty when he steps into it. He started getting a little overconfident last night in sweeping hooks, trying to play post offense vs Lopez (no offense to Hibbert, but it's just not happening with any consistency). He's best vs a team like the Nets when he admits what doesn't work, tries enough to keep D honest but doesn't force the fact.
5. Key to this team's championship aspirations will be the play of West & Scola. They play like they have the last three games? No one is beating the Pacers in a 7-game series, because no one has the bodies/skills to quite match up with that, and it's going to open up a helluva lot for aggressive players looking to take theirs at the same time.
6. OJ is a pretty damn solid basketball player. He's not a particularly smart basketball player. I've said this for a while now. Still young, but he's good for both one basket you'd never think he'd hit per game, and one terribly boneheaded foul/shot/turnover/moment of frustration per game.
7. No one outside of Indiana has any idea what a tremendous passer David West is.
8. I continue to really like the season Ian Mahinmi is putting together. I thought he was slow on the help defense last night, but the guy plays tough, and NBA refs despite him for some reason despite the fact he has improved his vertical defense by leaps and bounds over last year.
What's crazy about this Pacers team, and I don't recall saying this about any IND squad in a while, is how MANY ways they can beat you. Paul George off? OK, guess West, Hibbert & co will pick it up. That still not working? Hill or Scola will step up, and you always chance the Stephenson freight train. One of those nights where no one can hit anything? That's OK, the defense will pick it up, and they'll create offense out that. Opponents going big? Pacers have an answer. Opponents going small? Pacers have an answer.
It won't always be pretty, because in a way, it's almost robotic. Whereas most teams have to get creative with rotations, lineups, plays to answer, the Pacers just throw out their calculated answer to every problem and have them run the same variation of the same set of plays.
That's pretty funny. Try this if you haven't yet!
As some used to harp ... "You are your record..." lol
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
That is probably the most impressive victory yet. The nets played pretty well and seemed to be really going for a win, very intense and playoff like 4th quarter.
Is it me or did J Kidd look like a player who was hurt standing around the huddle in a suit as Lawrence frank was coaching

Then, this morning watching a Dunk special on ESPN2, Josh couldn't even get a mention in the top 20 dunks of the season. It's maddening! I keep waiting to hear that David Stern has stepped in and awarded Roy and PG to the Knicks. At this point it wouldn't suprise me one bit. Here's to hoping the Pacers make everyone take note in the second half of the season. GO PACERS!!!

Emirates Holidays Unveils New Direction in Trade Strategy
- Published by Vedat
Emirates Holidays is set to implement changes that are aimed to improve operations and offer its trade and travel agent-partners greater opportunities as well as easier access to attractive holiday packages across the airline's network.
As Emirates' tour operating arm, Emirates Holidays is currently the largest wholesale tour operator in the region, with strength in servicing outbound traffic from Dubai and GCC. With its evolving new trade strategy, Emirates Holidays will strengthen its role as a major distribution channel for the airline as well as solidify its position as a leading leisure brand in Dubai and beyond. With year-long offers and access into new markets that the airline has launched, Emirates Holidays is targeting an increase in its operating revenue by 30 per cent, and passenger numbers by 20 per cent this year and double digit compound annual growth over the next five years.
"Following in-depth research and a re-examination of our core strengths and assets, Emirates Holidays' new approach will place it in the formidable position of offering the industry an exciting cache of new products," said Marc Bennett – Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Destination & Leisure Management (D&LM).
"We are keen to offer continuous support to our trade and travel-agent partners. Towards this end, we will implement new distribution platforms harnessing the reach that our flagship brand, Emirates, affords us. As tour operator of one of the world's fastest growing airlines, we are in the position to offer the largest number of seats into Dubai, tap into the massive customer base of Emirates, as well as provide easy access for our partners – to packaged holidays in destinations across the airline's network, cutting across seasonality and at extremely competitive prices."
Key to this strategy is a new technology which will centralise DLM's contracting system. Emirates Holidays, a part of Emirates' Destination & Leisure Management Division, is putting in place, a suite of state-of-the-art technology components that will enable it to achieve better buying power and greater opportunity for its partners. The technology will provide Emirates Holidays and its partners, real time direct access to room inventories not only in Dubai hotels, but also worldwide – through a variety of methods – from direct hotel connectivity to bed banks, allowing them to have access to the critical last bed availability.
In turn, the technology will empower Emirates Holidays to offer packaged holidays to trade partners through a variety of channels to suit diverse needs. This will range from seamless direct connection to partners' own sales systems, to simple online business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels for other trade partners and direct clients. These systems will enable Emirates Holidays to provide their partners with round-the-clock, updated access to its products."The flexibility and scalability of the technology solution will allow Emirates Holidays to seize opportunities that may otherwise not be fulfilled. The technology will give us the agility to adapt to market conditions and steer the business a lot quicker. It will also provide our partners greater accessibility to a larger customer base and allow us to wholesale accommodation where appropriate," concluded Mr Bennett.

And I stand by my statements. My sister in-law has a PhD from Northwestern in Chiropractics and Medicine, Her Husband has a Masters in Eastern Medicine and Acupuncture. Both were required to take extensive courses involving drugs and the effects on the body. Both of them have told me what I posted earlier, and I have many links that I can share from the FDA, NIH and even the manufactures website (Merck) that states the dangers of overuse and it's effects on the liver and kidney. They all mention combining the topic drugs with alcohol is extremely dangerous. Go do a search on the side effects of NSAID's which is what Tylenol and IB are considered to be. All information will tell you how it is safe in low doses, not to have prolonged use and never take with alcohol. Here is something else to consider about IB, overuse of Ibuprofen can increase the blood levels of lithium by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Increased levels of lithium may lead to lithium toxicity and can cause kidney failure.
Honestly I'm shocked that someone in the medical industry dealing with drugs would say that was okay, but I've seen crazier things.
Good luck, hope no ill effects bestow your organs.

That's what's so fun about this city."'

Wiha® precision single Phillips screwdriver in #0 x 50mm size.
by virtual1
on 8/3/2012
I work on laptops that use a range of very small torx and philips screws. I often have to buy tools rated at smaller sizes to be able to fit properly into screws, it's as though there's no standard for these small screws. Wiha is a good brand and I have a personal micro bit set of my own in my bag, set 75992. This screwdriver was ordered along with other sizes to see what fit what. This wiha PH0. Tool steel is very good quality, and the tip is reasonably fine for the screws it needs to work with. This driver specifically works well on the fine screws in Apple laptops. The palm spinner on the end has a little more friction than I like, and I can't remove the cap to add a little oil like I do with my craftsman tools, but that's a minor issue compared to the rest of the tool. I've had very good experiences with WIha tools and this tool meets my expectations of them. This tool fits screws the same as the lower quality Craftsman PH000 that I have replaced with this.

Warning on the Quaker Steak Wings...go EARLY, prepare to wait. It's popular and they aren't just yanking them from a heat lamp.
With a brick column and a table right in front of their window you get a lot of people waiting for their name to be called at times. Don't assume people there are waiting to order, most are waiting for their wings.
Worth the wait though.
Varsity Club requires only that you buy food. However come playoff time I'd bet that a rail seat might require a reservation, so if you are thinking about eating there during the game you might call and get ahead of the game.
Sitting on the rail is just being in an upper suite behind the baseline. You are having some decent food but it's not as good a location as you probably could have had if you wanted to be closer to the game.

Excellent info, thanks guys!
"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimes worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
Okay....this thread has convinced me that I have to have a light or early dinner before the game and then go get some wings at the Fieldhouse.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
A long time ago (3 years or so) I went to a Harlem Globe trotters game/show. I had gotten nachos three ways. One portion was bbq, and I dont remember the other two on the tray. Anyways where are these, or at least good bbq nachos? Thanks.
Maybe hit the wrong game but against the Celtics it felt I missed half the game waiting in line to get a coke and pretzel on the uppercourse last year. Next time, I'll get it before the game or just hit something outside of Conseco after the game.
The cheeseburgers are really good at the Fieldhouse. That's what I normally get when I go. Loaded/supreme nachos are amazing. Also, Quaker State's wings are very good.
I believe their is a BBQ place on the side with Quaker Steak, but on the inside instead. I have not eaten there, but I'd assume that was where you got those nachos. I did not realize such a thing existed.
They had/have a Red Burrito (Hardees Mexican food) in the bench side concourse, but I don't think they do BBQ nachos.
I think they have bbq nachos at the corner stands on the balcony level. Dont remember which stands specifically though.
The case of the unobtainable nachos. lol. like I said it was 3 years ago. I know it was either main level or club. because during the show the balcony was "curtained". i also think it was on the baseline side. opposite of the entrance baseline. yes the nachos were that good.
btw i demand the pacers compile a list of all eateries with full menus and map for fatties like me. that would bring me back to a sth. lol.
Correct me if i am wrong. But i thought the varsity club required club level tickets to get in. There is a ticket person right infront of the place.
We got comp'd some tix for up coming preseason game. Hoping they are in the club level so we can eat there.

You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Not true. If you have reservations they will let you up to the club level to use them.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
we used to buy balcony tix then go to varsity club to eat and stayed to watch the game.
I've never tried getting them at Quaker State because the line is so scary,
But there is only one balcony corner stand where they sell the bbq nachos, and it's always the last corner I try.
It is easily the most/best food for your dollar (like $7.50 or $8.50). Like cheaper, better, and more food than the bbq nachos at most bars. I get it every time, and have only finished it by myself once.
balcony corner here i come
Varsity Club has some good burgers.
The map of food locations is a good idea. Stick in the "Game Night" magazine.
Is there anything healthy to drink other than overpriced bottle water. I gave up regular soda 6 months ago and rarely does anyone carry a tolerable low calorie product. I just hate overpaying for water.
There are kinetico filtered drinking fountains...
There are some smoothie stands, not particularly low calorie but depending on the fruit could be healthy.

Right after going through the ticket gate, to the left near section 3 , there is a stand called market to go. The have a few sandwiches(turkey), fresh fruit, and raw veggies. I was also happy to find low cal Gatorade fruit punch(same stuff I drink at the gym)

When I would get something to eat at BLF, it'd probably be from there or Quaker Steak & Lube. Their wings are the bomb.
Hardees has a turkey burger now, you can even get it lettuce wrapped instead of a bun.

Banning or further regulating firearms is a non-solution to violence. People have been killing for thousands of years. It's likely if we don't wipe ourselves out, we will be doing it for thousands more. Still, there are many who advocate banning and confiscation in a futile attempt to end all violence. Unfortunately, this is a placebo fix, to say the least.
I imagine it will make many people feel good, but offers no solution to these acts of violence. Back in 1927, a man named Andrew Kehoe detonated a bomb at a Bath Township, Mich., school. The death toll was 44, including the bomber. In 1990, Julio Gonzalez, seething from an argument with his former girlfriend, purchased some gasoline and set fire to the only exit at the Happy Land nightclub in the Bronx. Eighty-seven people were killed in the fire that destroyed the nightclub.
In 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a bomb made from fertilizer outside the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Okla. The building was nearly leveled and 168 people were killed. Over 3,000 people were killed on that fateful day of Sept. 11, 2001. The weapons that started the chain of events that led to the destruction of four airliners full of people, the fall of the twin towers, damage to the Pentagon and the crash of an airliner in a Pennsylvania field were simple box cutters. These are the largest mass murders in U.S. history. No firearms were involved in these incidents.
It's possible that we will never know the full motive of the madman on Dec. 14. The only thing we can do to prevent loss of life is to be eternally vigilant. We need to see and recognize the signs of impending violence and we need to be prepared to fight evil when it presents itself. Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." The citizens and lawmakers of the United States need to remember this.
Chris Doenges
New HavenIn late July of this year, in the wake of a terrible and senseless act of gun violence that had occurred in Colorado, I found myself compelled to write about that tragedy and voice my contempt for the leadership, the national clueless leaders of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Responding to a local member of that organization, I noted some grievous facts concerning the toll of gun violence in America. I will not reiterate those facts here, except to observe that we of have of course most tragically, in the wake of the event that occurred in Connecticut on Dec. 14, added so more remorsefully to that toll, this time witnessing the taking amongst us the most innocent of victims.
Nearly a week passed from the tragedy that struck the peaceful community of Newtown, Conn., before the NRA chose to speak publicly and lend their voice of sorrow and sympathy to the resounding chorus of humanity that stands with the people of that small community in praying for the victims and condemning the senseless violence that spawned this human tragedy.
They have promised to hold a major press conference in which they would reveal details of a "meaningful contribution" toward efforts to end these types of senseless acts of gun violence. Pardon my distrust and outright cynicism, but after decades of proliferation of weapons upon our streets and increasingly more lethal forms of gun violence, I find it difficult at best and at worst outright hypocrisy to suggest that the NRA will have any "meaningful contribution" to make toward ending gun violence in America.
To be certain, ever since the passage of the first major gun control legislation in 1968, in the wake of the Kennedy and King assassinations, the NRA has since that time again and again been at the forefront of protecting that most cherished right of gun ownership in this country. Their "meaningful contributions" toward this advocacy has resulted in a nation today that stands awash in weapons of all calibers and types, fed by millions upon millions of rounds of ammunition.
Their unbridled support of the Second Amendment has been, in fact, a resounding success. Yet as we turn toward the sorrow of Newtown, Conn., and reflect as well upon the past events of Aurora, Portland, stemming back to Columbine and beyond, few among us can find good cause, or any cause to cheer for the NRA. For their resounding success has been paid for in the path of the blood spilled from countless innocent victims. As I stated in August, the NRA has attained and in its zealot pursuit of unbridled and unchecked gun ownership continues to seek the most tragic and worthless of political victories.
If that is their contribution, America, it is time we can longer afford to accept it.
Kevin Paul KrajewskiIt's a question we often ask ourselves when we're faced with the opportunity to vote for the next leader of our country, or when we're overwhelmed by issues like world hunger or poverty. Or maybe it's even just when we take a look at the everyday struggles that creep into our lives. What could I, just one person, do to have an impact on my world?
For better or for worse, the recent events in Connecticut will be publicized for the years to come. And whether we like it or not, it all points to the power of one. A single man opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. Not only did he take the lives of 26 people, but he stole the innocence of all the children who will live to tell the story of this awful day. And because of this one person, there will be parents who will endure the unthinkable task of burying their children.
There are families who had empty seats at the dinner table this Christmas and presents left wrapped under the tree. There will be students and teachers nationwide who fear for their safety every time they step into their schools. There will be talks from all sides about gun control and what our country is or isn't doing to help those who are mentally ill.
And still I think that the impact made by this one twisted, confused, ill person is the answer to the question: "What difference could one person make?" While this tragedy will surely be surrounded by heated debates, one undeniable truth stands at the center of it all: One man's choice to open fire on innocent lives made a heavy, catastrophic difference in this world. His acts, if not his name, will go down in history.
In the midst of such crisis and unspeakable heartache, it's still Christmastime. It doesn't seem fair that time should march on when so many of us just want to hit the pause button to grieve at our own pace. It doesn't seem right that the seasonal decorations should still look so beautiful or the lights should shine so bright. It doesn't seem like there should be joy or reason to celebrate. And yet, the life-changing power of one can surprise us.
You see, looking past the commercialized holiday and all the pretty things that shine this season, the heart of Christmas beats with irrepressible hope. A hope that, ironically enough, came to the world years ago through the power of one. And not just any one, but The One, the precious baby Jesus who was born in a lowly stable next to the animals and under the stars. The world needed a savior, and he came, but not in a flowing robe or with a magnificent army or any of the earthly things we might associate with a king. He came as a tiny infant, wrapped in clothes and lying in a manager. One little child who would make all the difference in the world.
This Christmas, while I may be stunned by the tragedy in the world, I still find myself in awe of the powerful one who not only created us, but who waits, like the gentleman he is, for his beloved to choose him. My prayer is that we would all place our hope in the Savior who truly is the reason for this season, so when asked this question the answer should be simple. What difference can one person make? For Jesus, it was enough to save the world.

Building Movements for Educational Change
Listen in for a roundtable discussion with authors and educators on important issues concerning education today. Celebrating two new books on social justice & education: Right to Be Hostile by Erica R. Meiners and The Seduction of Common Sense by Kevin K. Kumashiro.
Panelists include: Mia Henry, Chicago Freedom School; Kevin Kumashiro, Center for Anti-Oppressive Education at the University of Illinois-Chicago; Erica R. Meiners, Northeastern Illinois University - St. Leonard's Adult High School; and Janeida Rivera, Batey Urbano.
The books featured as part of this event:
Right to Be Hostile: Schools, Prisons, and the Making of Public Enemies
As early as preschool, educational policies and practices target increasing numbers of students of color as under-educated, unemployable, and in need of surveillance and containment. In Right to Be Hostile, Erica R. Meiners offers concrete examples and new insights into the "school to prison pipeline" phenomenon, showing how disciplinary regulations, pedagogy, and other educational structures not only implicitly advance, but actually normalize an expectation of incarceration for urban youth. Meiners asks researchers, activists, and educators to consider how our socio-cultural and economic structures support the relationships between prisons and schools. By presenting a juxtaposition of strategies for change with an analysis of the forces that produce relationships between schools and prisons, Right to Be Hostile provides invaluable insight for activist educators committed to social justice.
The Seduction of Common Sense: How the Right Has Framed the Debate on America's Schools
Just in time for the 2008 elections, The Seduction of Common Sense offers a powerful examination of current education policy initiatives as framed by the rhetoric of the political Right and the political Left. Critical of both sides, Kumashiro first provides a searching look at the Right and shows why it has succeeded so well in winning the debate about the purposes and possibilities of education. Here he brilliantly illuminates how the Right uses particular "frames"--appeals to conservative notions of the traditional family, free enterprise, goodness, and fear--to shape the public's common sense ideas about schooling and build support for its attacks on public education and social justice reforms. Turning then to the Left he shows how it has failed to win support for its initiatives and goals, especially regarding racial disparities in schools. More importantly, he argues that the Left must "reframe" common sense about education to embrace a commitment to human rights, a belief in equality, and quality education for all of our children. This is must reading for anyone concerned about the future of public education, especially right now.

POLICE in Swindon have released an e-fit of a man they are keen to identify following an attempted distraction burglary in the town.
A man called at an address in Northern Road around 7pm on Tuesday, February 18 stating he was from the water company and needed to check the water pressure.
The homeowner, in his eighties, escorted him into the kitchen where the man began running the taps. When asked for ID the man was unable to produce any and refused to give his name. A neighbour saw the man in the kitchen and came over to check everything was ok. When they entered the man left quickly without saying anything.
The man was described as white, approximately 5'10 tall, aged in his early thirities and of slim build with short dark brown messy hair. He was wearing dark jeans and a dark jacket.
Anyone who recognises the man pictured or who has any information about the incident is asked to contact DC Mark Harris on 101 or Crimestoppers on 101.

Every day for the past 22 years, California's background checks have stopped about a dozen felons, mentally ill people and others from buying guns.
When prospective gun buyers stride into California gun stores such as Ron Kennedy's Canyon Sports in Martinez, they must swipe their driver's licenses or state IDs. That sets off a review process that runs their names not only through the same FBI criminal database other states use but also almost 20 other sources, from mental health records to DMV data. It's a check more rigorous than any other state's.
California is also one of only two states -- Rhode Island is the other -- requiring such checks not only for purchases from licensed gun dealers, but also for all purchases at gun shows, or even if you're just buying a gun from a neighbor.
For those reasons, California's universal background check system is being held up by gun control advocates as a model for the rest of the country. Yet in the emotionally charged national debate that has ensued since December's massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, whether implementing such a system nationwide would prevent similar tragedies and gun crimes remains a bitter point of contention.
Some statistics are clear: Only 1 percent of California's background checks lead to denials, so the system barely reduces the number of guns out there. But the national denial rate is 0.6 percent, so California's checks are obviously much better at preventing people who can't legally own guns from buying them.
"You have to assume that if you stop one person who would otherwise take that gun and kill people, it's been a success," said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, chairman of the House Democrats' gun violence task force.
But many gun-rights advocates fear universal background checks are nothing more than a prelude to universal registration and perhaps even confiscation.
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president and CEO of the National Rifle Association, warned during a recent speech in Reno that President Barack Obama "wants to put every private, personal firearms transaction right under the thumb of the federal government."
At a Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, LaPierre sparred with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, on the background check issue after LaPierre argued that more checks would simply force law-abiding citizens to pay more fees for the right to own a gun.
Other statistics can be used to support either side of the argument. Consider:
n In 2011, California's rates of killings, robberies and assaults involving firearms were all higher than the national rates. But California had lower rates of armed robberies and armed assaults that year than Arizona or Nevada, which conduct less stringent background checks for gun store sales and no checks at all for gun show or private, person-to-person sales.
n The Golden State definitely has a lower rate of gun deaths -- including accidents, suicides and homicides -- compared with the nation and many other states, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. California had 8.9 such deaths per 100,000 people from 1999 to 2010, ranking 33rd among states and the District of Columbia and falling under the 10.2 national rate. Nevada's gun death rate ranked sixth, at 15.9; Arizona's ranked seventh, at 15.3.
Yet it's hard to draw a direct link between background checks and rates of gun crime or gun deaths. Those rates might also be affected by other California gun laws, including a 10-day waiting period -- most states have none -- meant both to accommodate the expanded background checks and to let any hotheaded buyers cool off before taking possession of a gun. The state also has an assault weapons ban, handgun registration and other gun control measures that other states don't. And some criminologists argue that crime rates have more to do with a state's poverty, joblessness, education or other social factors than its gun control laws.
What does seem clear is that California's background check system functions well -- and could be replicated elsewhere.
Kennedy of Canyon Sports said the state's online system is "relatively flawless" and, in most cases, easy to use.
San Jose Gun Exchange owner Michael Fournier agreed. "I've got no problem with it," he said. "I couldn't sleep at night thinking someone got a gun who shouldn't own one."
Arizona-based gun show promoter Lori McMann said all her California shows have a "transfer dealer" present to handle the transactions, submit information to the state and hold onto the gun during the 10-day waiting period. In other states, she said, her company simply reminds sellers of their obligation to verbally ask buyers whether they're convicted felons or otherwise prohibited from owning a gun.
It might take hiring more federal and state workers to handle the increased workload, McMann said, but imposing a California-like system nationwide "is definitely doable."
But will it help?
"Criminals don't buy guns in gun stores" or at gun shows, Kennedy insisted. "They steal them or have them purchased for them by someone else."
Nor does it seem background checks -- at least, as they are run now in most of the nation -- stop horrific mass shootings.
The Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle that Adam Lanza used to kill 20 kids and seven adults in Newtown was bought legally by his mother at a licensed gun store after she passed a background check.
James Holmes passed background checks with the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to buy the arsenal he carried in August into an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, where he killed 12 and wounded 58. Jared Lee Loughner also passed an NICS check to buy the gun he used to try to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., killing six people and wounding 12.
Both Holmes and Loughner had documented mental problems that were not recorded in the FBI's database, but it's not clear whether they would have been disclosed to California's system.
Some of Obama's recent executive actions and new bills introduced in Congress from both sides of the aisle would do exactly that, pressing states and federal agencies to feed more and better-detailed information into the FBI system.
But the gun lobby opposes any effort to expand that system's use to cover gun shows or private, person-to-person sales -- representing roughly 40 percent of gun sales.
Chuck Michel, spokesman and attorney for the California Rifle and Pistol Association, agreed with LaPierre that "the biggest problem with background check systems is they typically incorporate registration of law-abiding firearm buyer and owners."
It's true that California does, unlike many states, retain information submitted for background checks for handgun purchases. And next year it will start retaining that information from long-gun purchases.
But Thompson said law-abiding people have nothing to worry about and that it all comes down to keeping guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them: "If you don't do a check, I don't know how you can do that."
At Thompson's task force hearing last week, David Chipman, a former special agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, likened the need for universal background checks to the need for heightened air security after Sept. 11.
Said Chipman: "Imagine the frustration of TSA employees if they were told that 60 percent of those getting on a plane would get full security screening and then 40 percent would be allowed to walk right on the plane, and then buildings kept blowing up and we were all like, 'Well, how did that happen?'"

I was very happy when Bob's Red Mill asked me to create a gluten-free, casein-free, kid friendly recipe and write a guest post for Autism Awareness Month for their blog. With many a sample recipe's to eat over the past couple of weeks, I am delighted with the final results of this recipe. A recipe easy for the kids to make themselves with minimal supervision. I suggest Mommy handle the goings in and comings out of the oven but the rest of the recipe can be fun for the kids to help with. I should also mention that although this cornbread recipe was developed specifically for use with this article as a "corndog", It makes a truly delicious cornbread muffin or johnny cake.
Let's get right to the fun.
- 4 Hot Dogs (always read labels, not all hot dogs are GF/CF)
- 1/2 cup of Crisco Butter flavor Baking Stick (1/2 cup = 1/2 stick)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 and 1/4 cup Almond Milk
- 3/4 cup Cornmeal
- 3/4 cup Sweet Rice Flour
- 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Potato Starch
- 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Brown Rice Flour
- 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Arrowroot
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal
- 3 tablespoons Hot Water
- 1 teaspoon of Bob's Red Mill Guar Gum
Begin by mixing the flaxseed meal with the water and setting this aside to get goopy.
Next mix all the remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Once all the flours have been whisked together with the sugar, and other dry ingredients, add the half stick of Crisco Butter Flavor Baking Stick.
Using the same whisk, I cut the Crisco Baking stick into the flour mixture thoroughly, leaving a rough chunky appearance.
Add the Almond Milk and stir. Stir together lightly and do not over stir.
I sprayed my muffin pan with Crisco Olive Oil Non-Stick Cooking Spray. Then spoon the batter into the muffin pan until each cup is roughly 1/3 to 1/2 filled. There isn't a right or wrong here and the kids will enjoy doing this part.
Next cut the 4 hot dogs into thirds. Place a third of each hot dog into the batter.
Next simply spoon more batter on top of the hot dog pieces filling the muffin cups.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and remove from oven when done (test off center with a toothpick)
Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack briefly before serving.
Plate and enjoy! Serve with dipping sauces of mustard and ketchup.

Shawn loves to cook and created the website, www.theglutenfreespouse.com a year ago to help share his recipes and to help others out there who must maintain a gluten free diet to have healthier and tastier options.


text: Show Hide image Politics 7 November 2012 Forget about 2012, the race for the White House in 2016 has already begun Put your money on Hillary Clinton vs Chris Christie, says Nicholas Wapshott. Sign up for our weekly email * The 2012 presidential election is over; let the 2016 election begin! Without skipping a beat, the endless electoral process in the US has started over. It is the American equivalent of: "The king is dead. Long live the king." It is why political junkies across the world love American politics. It never ends. So what do we know about the next race? With Barack Obama still in the White House and unable to run again due to term limits, both parties are looking for a new candidate. In the Republican Party, it used to be that if you didn't win the presidency one year, you could put yourself forward the next. Richard Nixon lost to John F Kennedy in 1960 but bounced back in 1968 to beat Hubert Humphrey. Now voters are so fickle and campaigns so punishing that you only get one shot. Americans don't like losers and the electoral battlefield is strewn with the corpses of failed presidential candidates who overnight became unpersons. So bye-bye, Mitt. Missing you already. As F Scott Fitzgerald observed, there are no second acts in American lives. Team Billary Yet politicians who merely fail to win their party's nomination can keep plugging away. Hillary Clinton was beaten to the punch by Obama in 2008 but is expected to run in 2016. That explains why Bill Clinton has been going hoarse urging voters to back Obama. With Romney in the White House, Hillary would find it hard to unseat him. So, she needed Romney to lose and there was no better way to ensure that than to set her husband on to him. Having loyally served Obama as secretary of state, Hillary expects the president to repay the compliment and back her bid. The general view among Democrats is that if Hillary wants the nomination, it's hers. They feel that her impeccable performance as senator for New York, then at the state department, has repaired the reputation for divisiveness and aggression that she acquired when she was first lady. She will be 69 in 2016. It is not quite that easy. The Clintons may be the first couple of Democratic politics but after Obama's rope-a-dope in the Denver debate, Vice-President Joe Biden became a Democratic hero by upstaging and smothering his rival, Paul Ryan, in their televised debate. No one would begrudge Biden a run at the primaries. Despite failing in 1988, when he was caught plagiarising a speech by Neil Kinnock, and in 2008, when he lost out to Obama and Hillary, his ambition remains undimmed. He will be 74 in 2016. Then there's Andrew Cuomo, who as governor of New York has won widespread praise for working across the aisle to get things done in the state's notoriously tricky assembly. He is the son of Mario Cuomo, the Italian-American former New York governor who is often spoken of by liberals as the greatest president America never had. Despite clamour for him to run for the White House, Cuomo Sr declined to enter the race in 1992. Cuomo Jr has no such inhibitions and his marriage, albeit now dissolved, to Bobby Kennedy's daughter Kerry adds to his allure as the scion of two great Democratic dynasties. Hillary's people say Cuomo will stand aside if the Clintons ask him to but as an up-and-coming man in the party, he may feel he should put down a marker. How Republicans respond to Romney's defeat is more difficult to predict. They traditionally use Buggins's turn to pick a candidate, which is how Romney floated to the top, having served time in the primaries. Republicans, however, are in a strange mood, one that those who witnessed the destructive internecine battles inside the Labour Party in the late 1970s and early 1980s will recognise. The Republicans, like British Conservatives, used to be pragmatic people who would say and do anything to get elected. Since Reagan – and like the Tories since Thatcher – Republicans have been cursed by ideology. The Tea Party insurgency has all but driven out the moderate, centre-right "Rockefeller Republicans", named after Nelson Rockefeller, whose fabulous wealth was accompanied by a strong sense of noblesse oblige. The result is that in the 2012 primary races a variety of extreme conservatives, libertarians, curmudgeons, mavericks and nutcases volunteered to lead the Republican barmy army. The party finally chose Romney after the Republican establishment stepped in with millions of dollars' worth of attack ads that brought down unappetising candidates such as Newt Gingrich capable of beating the only candidate they deemed electable. Even so, to win the primaries Romney had to present himself as a "severe conservative" and adopt extreme positions he then had to throw overboard as soon as the election campaign began in earnest. Palin to insignificance Expect the same in 2016. Forget Gingrich, Rick Perry, Jon Huntsman and Herman Cain, who are too shopworn. The social conservative Rick Santorum still has life in him and the blessing of Rupert Murdoch. Do not count out the ultra-eccentric and batty Michele Bachmann. Rand Paul will step into his father Ron Paul's shoes to represent the growing number of Republican libertarians. Forget Sarah Palin. Her teasing will-she-won't-she fan dance this year was her last trip on the political stage. She makes too much money to risk it all losing in the primaries. And she cannot overcome the negatives she acquired in 2008 when running alongside John McCain. Paul Ryan was boosted by being picked by Romney as his running mate but he will suffer from being on the losing ticket. An avowed ideologue, he failed to give a single speech that offered a radical Republican vision. His complicity in Romney's rush to the centre has disappointed the Tea Party members he once excited. Then there is George W's moderate brother Jeb Bush, who would appeal to the middle ground. But, if they forgive him for praising Obama after Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey shore, my money for the Republican candidate is on Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor and the most naturally gifted retail politician since Bill Clinton. So – Hillary v Christie? That would be a tight race.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR Sprint Cup teams will begin the arduous process of qualifying for the Daytona 500 when time trials are held at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

HOUSTON - There's an email going around, supposedly from the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office, that people are hanging out in parking lots and giving away key rings with tracking devices in them.
The email states that a "syndicate of criminals (are) presenting themselves as sales promoters" and the "key holders are very beautiful and hard to resist."
According to the email, the "key ring has a tracking device chip which allows the criminals to track and follow you."
Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office officials said it's just another version of a hoax email.
According to snopes.com, the hoax has been going on since 2008. Snopes' website states that it began when there was a distribution of flashing key rings at a South Africa gas station. Those key rings did not contain tracking devices and were simply a promotional item for Caltex, a gasoline retailer that is part of Chevron.

In many of our churches, we recently read the story of the calling of Jesus' disciples along the Sea of Galilee.
The famous saying in Matthew 4 associated with this call is Jesus' short and powerful statement, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." (The traditional language is, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.")
People have long been puzzled about why Jesus would pick a group of fishermen to be the leadership nucleus of the worldwide faith movement he was establishing.
Clearly, he made a good choice, because Christianity exists all around the world, and we're still talking about this event in the Christian scriptures today.
Equally puzzling has been the question of why the fishermen accepted the call to become disciples and leaders in the new church community. Their business was fishing, not religious service, relief work or management. Surely their acceptance has something to do with the way Jesus phrased his invitation: "Come to me, and from now on you fisherman will catch people." In other words, Jesus reached right into their lives and extended an invitation relevant to them and who they were.
In fact, it's likely that if Jesus had not been dealing with fishermen, he would have come up with other ways to issue his call:
• To a group of actors, he might have said (in a Bogartlike voice): Follow me, and I have a feeling this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. All the world will be our stage, and together we'll bring down the house.
• To a group of chefs and people passionate about cooking: Follow me, and I will help you find that delicious recipe you've always searched for to feed both the body and the soul.
• To a group of writers: Follow me, and you will write powerful stories through which people can connect with the rhyme and reason of their lives.
• And to our own dear techie selves here in Silicon Valley, he might have said: Follow me, and you will know how to optimize the search for life's meaning for all people, no matter what glitches they may have in their personal operating systems.
It's fun to think of how Jesus, with his incredible talent to turn a phrase, might have worded his call to different groups of people based on their life context. (Try writing a couple yourself.)
The point of these, however, is simply to illustrate how God calls every person to faith and vision to make this world a better place. What gifts do you have? Fishing, cooking, finance, serving, teaching, technology? Jesus called those first disciples, and by extension all of us, to use their gifts for others.
How can your gifts be used to bring healing, love and hope to our world?

The risk of atherosclerosis in women with lupus can be predicted using a combination of lab blood tests for novel biological markers (biomarkers), according to LRI-funded research by Drs. Maureen McMahon (left) and Bevra Hahn, (right) University of California, Los Angeles. The combined biomarkers were more accurate than traditional blood tests for heart disease and could be used in the future to determine which lupus patients should receive treatments to prevent heart attacks and stroke. (Arthritis & Rheumatism, September 2013)
The build-up of fatty, cholesterol-laden plaques in arteries, known as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), is more likely in women with lupus and can lead to heart attacks and strokes, major causes of death in lupus patients.
In lupus patients, atherosclerosis (development of plaques in the arteries) cannot be explained by traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes; other factors specific to lupus seem to be involved.
Drs. McMahon and Hahn were the first to identify one of those risk factors for plaques – an altered 'bad' form of good cholesterol known as pro-inflammatory HDL. Their LRI-funded research showed that a blood test for this dangerous form of good-cholesterol can identify lupus patients with increased risk of atherosclerosis.
Their new study showed that this blood test is even more accurate when used in a combination of several tests using novel inflammation markers.
Over 200 lupus patients in the Los Angeles area had the combination test followed by an artery ultra-sound two and a half years later, to see if atherosclerosis developed or progressed. Results showed the combination test to be more accurate and sensitive than any individual test in predicting who would develop new or more extensive plaques.
Future studies in other patient populations are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the test to predict atherosclerosis and also heart attack and stroke.
Dr. Hahn noted, "Currently we do not know what treatments can prevent atherosclerosis and life-threatening cardiovascular events in lupus patients. Identifying patients at high risk for atherosclerosis will help design clinical trials to test ways to prevent the disease."
The research is published in the top-ranking rheumatology journal, Arthritis & Rheumatism.

5. George Clooney in Lake Como, Italy
Clooney, homie, we love you, but there's no excuse for those pants. Not even a long weekend in Como. Pants can be white and linen-y without being baggy and formless, you know? We're just trying to help. We know your heart's in the right place.
4. John Travolta in Rio de Janeiro
Now THOSE are dad jeans. Woof.
3. Bill Clinton in Puerto Rico
We're putting you on our watch list, Prez, but only because we know what you're capable of. Bring back the three-pieces.
2. Adam Sandler in NYC
Good god, Sandler, you're killing us.
1. Johnny Depp in Berlin
Here's a good litmus test for when you're getting dressed: Look in the mirror; are you wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath a short-sleeved shirt? If the answer's yes, then take one of them off.
5. Justin Bieber in Los Angeles
Just a reminder that not everything with pant legs deserves to be called "pants."
4. Johnny Depp in NYC
Maybe Depp just got too stylish at some point, and it, like, rolled over. Like an odometer.
3. Mickey Rourke in West Hollywood, California
We'll have to retire Mickey's worst-dressed number some day. But hopefully not soon.
2. Samuel L. Jackson in Los Angeles
We were going to make an Egyptian flag tribute joke, but it's best not to mix politics with snarking.
1. Zach Galifianakis in Los Angeles
So when you did that New Balance skit on SNL, you were…what, exactly?
5. Christian Bale in Los Angeles
Never has a man who played Batman looked or dressed less like Bruce Wayne.
4. Val Kilmer in Los Angeles
Never mind.
3. Pete Wentz in Los Angeles
Pete Wentz, wearing black UGGs with Denver Broncos athletic shorts. Sometimes you only have to describe the thing to convey exactly how you feel about it.
2. Chris Brown in Las Vegas
The all-black leather thing has never been hotter, but then Chris Brown had to go and ruin it by being Chris Brown while wearing it.
1. Dennis Rodman in Las Vegas
Dear Leader dreams of sushi. Dear Leader Jr. dreams of his batshit psychedelic spirit animal/ambassador to the United States.
5. Norman Reedus in NYC
We're just putting you on this list to remind you to get a haircut. No hard feelings.
4. Matthew McConnaughey in NYC
We're all about the McConnaisance, but you can't just be high-fashion for one day. You can't just wear normal business guy stuff everyday except for this one day when you wear exploded plaid ombre, even if it fits real good.
3. Chris Brown in NYC
The just-the-top-button thing is among the absolute silliest affectations of all time forever and ever, amen.
2. Michael Jordan in Los Angeles
This outfit : Michael Jordan :: Kazaam : Shaquille O'Neal
1. Either Nick or Aaron Carter in Los Angeles
If you wake up in the morning and begin weighing the pros and cons of an all-red oversized sweats look, ask yourself Am I Cee-Lo Green? If yes, go for it.
5. Pauly Shore in Los Angeles
Ladies and gentlemen, Pauly Shore wearing a buncha random shit. (It's been a slow month in the People Wearing Terrible Things department, okay?)
4. Nick Nolte in Malibu, California
It's just really, really hard to wear a blousy yellow shirt without channeling Big Bird.
3. Tim Robbins in Los Angeles
How to look fatter than you are in one second: Fasten the bottom button of your jean jacket.
2. David Arquette in Hollywood
We can't endorse this silliness at all. But—and maybe we've just been watching too much of The Americans—we secretly dig the KGB ice.
1. Adam Sandler in Los Angeles
Do you have a fever? Why are you wearing a Jabba-sized puffer jacket with shorts?
5. Liam Neeson in Los Angeles
Wear an oversized velour jacket and you can look sad, too.
4. Will.i.am. in London
The only restraint will.i.am showed here was waiting 20 years to unearth the outfit he stole from Demolition Man.
3. Pauly Shore in Beverly Hills
If you're wearing all this at the same time, you'd have better just run away from home.
2. Dennis Rodman in Los Angeles
There's the lipstick and the baggy white pants, but this is what really got us: that scarf, which was clearly stolen from a recently divorced reiki practioner.*
1. LMFAO's Redfoo in Los Angeles
We like to think that somewhere in the tailoring process, Redfoo was like, Make the pants a little shorter and add a fuckload of zippers.
5. Orlando Bloom in Hollywood
We know this is not fair, but we just feel like we know which guys get to wear asymmetrical things (young avant-garde composers, Rick Owens, et al), and you are not one of them.
4. Nicolas Cage in Glastonbury, England
Somewhere, there is a pimp in a gutter who is really, really cold. Allegedly/obviously.
3. Chris Tucker in Los Angeles
Fact: You will never look put-together if you're wearing a wilted bow tie.
2. Johnny Galecki in Los Angeles
You do that sly, relad, slightly pulled-out tie thing after the event, not when you've just left the house.
1. Nick Nolte in Los Angeles
This is only the perfect outfit if you were planning on discreetly wanking off during this premiere.

New York City — Consumers are spending more, but doing so in fewer transactions, according to American Express Business Insights' most recent Business Insights Spend Sights report.
The study, which examines spending patterns across several key categories, U.S. cities and demographic groups, finds that while economic uncertainty continues to dampen overall consumer confidence, a new pattern of less frequent but measurable splurging has become evident among a range of customer groups in several categories.
"Spending patterns since the recession indicate that value is top of mind for consumers, even among the most affluent customers," said Ed Jay, SVP at American Express Business Insights. "That said, the occasional 'splurge' pattern also shows that while consumers try to practice restraint, the prolonged economic uncertainty still cannot impede them from making a special purchase or two from the luxury brands that they love."
Key retail findings of the report include:
Consumers exercised restraint in luxury apparel and accessories spending, with 50.5% of average consumers and 40.6% of ultra-affluent consumers posting less than three transactions on luxury fashion in the second quarter;
In keeping with the new pattern of occasional splurges, however, consumers spent a surprising 10.1% per transaction for luxury apparel and accessories in Q2, while making 6.2% fewer purchases;
By region, Los Angeles' mature affluent consumers proved to be fashion plates, increasing spend by 25% in the second quarter on apparel and accessories. By contrast, their New York City counterparts increased spend by just 1% in this category, indicating a significant regional shift in fashion consumption.
Shifting consumer spending patterns in the restaurant sector support a prolonged and growing trend toward value dining, with the value category posting the only gain in spend, at 3.5%, in the second quarter. Fine dining spend decreased slightly, by 0.6%, and casual establishments continued to see a decline, with a 3.2% decrease.

A Meyer Lemon Meringue ($12) is the newest creation on the dessert menu at Monkey Bar on 54th Street. It features a balanced tart and creamy meyer lemon curd tucked into the most buttery of pastry shells, baked golden and just the slightest bit nutty. Plush meringue on top just melts in your mouth. The tart comes with a quenelle of citrus mostarda ice cream, and note that the mostarda—a classic Italian condiment—deserves a Sugar Rush of its own. It's made from a mix of (get ready!) lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, apple, pear, fennel, cayenne pepper, horseradish, pickled mustard seeds, and mustard powder, all folded into a silky vanilla ice cream base. It's intense and intriguing, with the hint of cayenne lingering after that last spoonful.

I thought the Pacers played well overall.
First half Artest and Harrington really led the team and they were the reason why the Pacers at least had an 8 point lead at halftime.
You could tell Ron was reluctant to shoot and he tried to pass more and he created a lot of offense for others tonight.
Third quarter was somewhat typical for the Pacers, they usually play very well in the 3rd quarter of games.
Ron hit a few shots and then Reggie basically put the game away.
Joe Johnson is a very tough player to defend, he is sneaky in his moves, he does not look that quick, but he beats his man often and somewhat easily.
Some comments on Pacer players.
I loved Al's aggressiveness tonight, he did not settle for the outside shot, he took the ball hard to the basket, that was nice to see.
Tinsley looked really quick tonight, this was his type of game, fast and free wheeling. Tinsley was very impressive tonight, he did a great job getting Reggie the ball in the third.
Freddie Jones. Wow, he was excellent tonight too. I know a few of you mentioned last week that you just did not see much from Freddie, well I hope you watched the game tonight, because he was great. That block where he hit his head on the backboard was awesome. Freddie even made a few shots, he looked really good tonight.
Any win is a good win and it is nice to have some time off between games.

A pickup truck traveling south on Walnut Drive Friday night lost control, overturned, and struck a home on Avalon Drive, injuring two people.
Alexandra Werner, 26, of Eureka, sustained minor injuries after she lost control in a slight curve on Walnut Drive south of Eureka at about 11 p.m., a California Highway Patrol press release said. Pride Brooks, 41, a resident inside the home, sustained moderate injuries.
Brooks was transported to St. Joseph Hospital for treatment. Werner was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and booked into the Humboldt County jail.
