If you selected a Private Message and then chose the option "Remove from Trash", what would you expect to happen?
That it goes back into your inbox....
Agreed - although if you wanted to be really clear, you could change the wording to "Restore from trash".
That is what I originally meant, but maybe a User could get confused and think that "Remove from Trash" means "Remove from Trash (and Permanently Delete this Message)"...
Is that possible?
As I said, if you want to be really clear, you could say "Restore from trash".
I would expect the message to say "Delete from trash", if that's what's going to happen.
However, if a user clicks on "Remove from trash", expecting the message to be permanently deleted and instead it's restored, your user may be surprised, but it's no big deal. If they click on "Remove from trash", expecting the message to be restored and instead it's permanently deleted, then they might be a bit miffed.
Pretty much anything is possible when dealing with real people. You'll never cover every eventuality.
I agree with the above, except I would drop the words "from Trash".
If the user is viewing a message in the Trash, and now wants to restore it, I would simply label the option "Restore". You know you are restoring from the Trash, because you are looking at the trashed message at that point.
Similarly, rather than "Delete from Trash", I would say "Delete permanently". I think the word "permanently" adds some value, because simply deleting a message might be synonymous (in some users' eyes) with moving it to the Trash, which they have already done.
Just my EUR 0,02 worth.
If a User wants to get rid of a PM for good, then I have always had the choice "Permanently Delete", which I think is pretty clear.
If a User wants to take a PM from the Trash and move it back to its original place (e.g. Inbox or Sent folder), then I originally had "Remove from Trash". But after looking at that, it occurred to me some people might misinterpret that?!
To be honest, I'm thinking "Restore from Trash" and "Restore" are a little too technical for the average user... :shifty:
If you say "restore" to me, as an IT Geek I get it. But do you think your grandmother or 50 year old uncle would know what "Restore" means?!
Anyone else care to comment?
Would they be representative of your target audience? If so, you might be better off taking a straw poll of elderly friends/relatives, rather than asking on a "geek" forum.
For what it's worth, I've been helping a friend of 76 master her computer. (She'd be the first to admit it's been an uphill struggle. ) She's away just now so I can't check, but I'm pretty certain that as a very-definite-non-geek, she would understand "restore" to mean "return to its former state", so "put that thing back where it came from." Offhand, I can't think what else it might be taken to mean, that might cause confusion.
At least all Windows users (geek or very-definite-non-geek), must be pretty common to the term "Restore", which is used for the "Recycle Bin".
See: Restore this item (or just "Restore")
Debbie, I would not consider 50 to be particularly old for a computer user these days. Remember that PCs have been around for over 30 years, and that a whole generation of people who use computers at their work are now in middle age.
Nor would I consider "restore" to be at all geekish. Off-hand, it's the most obvious word I can think of which expresses the idea you are trying to convey.
Grandmas... No.
People in their 50's... Yes.
When I hear the word "Restore", I instantly think of a Database "(Backup and) Restore", so that is why I feared it might be too "technical".
True. That was an unfair blow to middle-aged people.
Maybe, but like I said above, when I hear "Restore" I think of Database Restores... And that is a concept only a geek would know.
Just my first impression...
You can always make a tooltip (!): "Bring this item back to where it came from before it was put into Trash."
The geeks know that then your Database will get a (small) "Restore".The others, 50- and 50+, just see it coming back into their INbox (or whatever location it came from).
Rather than hope that something will be understood, why not just be more specific? E.g.
Move this message back to Inbox
Because we are talking about the Trash Folder view where a User checks those PM's he/she wants to take action on, and then chooses an action from a drop-down menu.
So while your verbiage is more explicit, it also won't fit!!
Also, in the Trash Folder you may be "restoring" both "Deleted Incoming PMs" and "Deleted Sent PMs", so I need neutral wording...
Right now in my Trash Folder view, my drop-down has the choices:
- Restore
- Permanently Delete
I guess that is pretty clear, but who knows?!
Follow me, Ralph? (Or do I need to "Delete" you!!) :lol:
You can always shorten things, though. This would work:
Move PM to Inbox
If there isn't room for that, then change the design.
So, Ralph, your response sounds like a "Thumbs Down" vote for "Restore"?
At first I thought it was fine, but the discussion made me think twice. Given that it could confuse some, I figure there's no point taking the risk that it might be misunderstood if something clearer can be used. That said, I'd class it as a minor issue.
See, it is the opposite for me.
At first I liked "Remove from Trash" better than "Restore".
But after kicking things around, if I was a User looking in my Trash Folder, and I had these two Actions that I could take on PM's in my Trash Folder...
- Restore
- Permanently Delete
...I think that the context of being in the Trash Folder makes it very clear what is going on.
But we can certainly agree that everyone see - and interprets - things slightly differently!
If there is "Move PM to Inbox " as well as the possibility "Move PM to SENDbox", it will not work this way. Then you have to use a general term as "Restore".
But the phenomenon "drop down" is new for me. I assumed it would be some Icon (preoccupation? how should it come? ).Then my suggestion of an explaining tooltip is out of order! *)
I think if a visitor finds in the Trash map a drop down with:
"Restore PM to old location""Delete PM permanently"
*) Unless you put a hoverable question mark (or Q-icon) just beside the dropdown.
To Ralph's point, I could maybe use this...
Restore to Inbox/Sent
Permanently Delete
Can't please everyone, but at least you guys have given me some good ideas.

China and U.S. Manufacturing Jobs
When we talk about the long-term decline in U.S. manufacturing employment, China often comes to mind. We may consider wage differentials, or perhaps currency exchange rates that accrue benefits to China. What we often don't hear is the proximate cause allowing these forces to cause U.S. trade to be imbalanced.
Recent research has shown that opening up trade with China by granting permanent normal trade relations in late 2000 might be the cause. By examining the cause of those job losses, we might assess whether those lost jobs may come back. The drop in U.S. manufacturing is no secret: Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that U.S. manufacturing employment fell from 19.6 million in 1979 to 13.7 million in 2007 (to use a date that pre-dates the Great Recession). And more than half of those job losses occurred in the years immediately following the relatively mild 2001 recession. Why so many after that downturn?...465 more words left in this article.

Support Grows for Roe v. Wade
Seven in 10 Americans believe Roe v. Wade should stand, according to new data from a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, as the landmark Supreme Court abortion-rights ruling turns 40 on Tuesday.
That is the highest level of support for the decision, which established a woman's right to an abortion, since polls began tracking it in 1989. The shift is mostly the result of more Democrats backing the decision—particularly Hispanics and African-Americans—and a slight uptick in support from Republicans.
But the poll showed a consistent tension in Americans' attitudes toward the decision. Almost seven in 10 respondents say there are at least some circumstances in which they don't support abortion.
Some 31% of respondents in the poll said abortion should always be legal, and 9% believed it should be illegal without any exceptions. Between those two opinions are the 23% who thought it should be legal most of the time, but with some exceptions, and the 35% who felt it should be illegal except in circumstances of rape, incest and to save a woman's life.
Since those questions were first asked, a decade ago, more people generally support abortion rights. But the majority of voters whose views aren't absolute has forced activists on both sides of the issue to rethink their message.
Antiabortion campaigners who once sought a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision have instead pursued legislation in Congress and the states aimed at highlighting aspects of abortion that have the potential to make voters uneasy. Those include restricting abortions later in pregnancy or because of the sex of the fetus, both of which are rare but are seen as resonating with voters.
"You really need to start with the abortions that are most controversial and where you have the broadest consensus, even if they are not that common," said Richard Doerflinger, associate director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' abortion and euthanasia campaigns. "All or nothing has produced nothing."
A 2011 Gallup poll found that especially large percentages of respondents were in favor of informed consent for women seeking abortions (86% of abortion-rights adults and 87% who are antiabortion) and making abortion illegal in the third trimester (79% of abortion-rights backers and 94% of those who are antiabortion).
Opponents of abortion rights won passage of a record 92 measures restricting the procedure in 24 states in 2011, and an additional 43 in 19 states last year, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a think tank that favors abortion rights. Nine states have recently banned most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, although courts have kept two of the laws from taking effect.
This year, Texas, Indiana, and Missouri are set to consider restrictions on chemically induced abortions in the coming legislative session, and lawmakers in Indiana and South Carolina have sponsored bills adding regulations to clinics.
The new moves come after several states have passed bills in the past two years requiring abortion clinics to maintain certain staffing levels or install equipment such as ventilation systems that are typically in hospitals. The states describe those efforts as seeking to protect women's health, while abortion-rights backers say the aim is to increase costs and obstacles for abortion providers.
"I don't need a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe," said Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, an antiabortion law firm that works with state groups on local legislation. "Clinic regulations do actually challenge Roe."
Supporters of abortion rights said they scored some electoral wins last year after a few Republican candidates made high-profile misstatements about abortion in cases of rape.
Now, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a group that works for the election of women who oppose abortion, said she would be training candidates to make sure they had an answer if they were asked why they opposed making exceptions for rape.
Kirsten Moore, until recently executive director of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project, said her abortion-rights group consulted with focus groups and experts on language, psychology and polling about incorporating Americans' mixed feelings about abortion into its messaging.
She said she concluded: "If we are willing to acknowledge the complexity of the issue…then we think we can have a conversation with the people in the middle and help them resolve that conflict in a pro-choice direction."
Supporters of abortion rights increasingly emphasize women's privacy, instead of focusing on broader rights, and frame having an abortion as a "decision" rather than a "choice." Last week, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America released an online video signaling that new approach.
"For many people, it's not a black and white issue," the video says of abortion. "Pro-choice? Pro-life? The truth is these labels limit the conversation.…When it comes down to it, we just don't know a woman's specific situation. We're not in her shoes."

Only about half of bus passengers feel they are getting good value for money, research shows.
Independent watchdog Passenger Focus asked passengers in West Yorkshire what they thought about local services.
Only 56 per cent felt they were getting good value for money.
Results were better for punctuality, which got an approval rating of 79 per cent – a nine per cent improvement on last year's results.
Overall satisfaction was also up, at 88 per cent, compared to 85 per cent last year.
The chairman of transport authority Metro, Councillor James Lewis, welcomed the rising scores.
He said: "The bus operators' efforts to achieve these improvements should be recognised but there is clearly more to do on value for money, which despite a one per cent improvement on last year, still lags significantly behind the other similar areas.
"There have been some fare reductions introduced locally since the Passenger Focus research was carried out and we have seen one small-scale initiative where the operators are prepared to accept each other's tickets but while people are still generally being charged a premium to use more than one company's services, dissatisfaction about cost is inevitable."

I've mostly been successful at keeping my Game of Thrones geekery separate from Slice. It is known. But when Hawk Krall sent this photo over, I figured, seven hells, let two worlds collide! Behold, four pizzas, each a different sigil of the houses Lannister, Stark, Targaryen, and Baratheon.
I'm not sure that I can totally get behind the topping distribution, but if anyone showed up with one of these pies to watch Game of Thrones, I would gladly dig in... so long as they announced, "Pizza is coming."

no, George Hill is a no trade player IMO, too valuable to us
Management has already stated that Hill and PG are off limits. Everyone else is available.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Forget what they are talking about, the trade just sucks....
Why so SERIOUS
Why would we want to become the Indiana Kings?
No on so many levels.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Ur not really serious. Ian our starting center after this trade? Just makes zero sense.
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Roy Hibbert and George Hill can't be traded until this season is over, correct? IIRC they can't be traded until July 2013. And why we would want to trade them for the GS players is beyond me. Do we have that much faith in Mahimni and Plums?
That doesn't change that the original trade proposal is just awful.

Cards return to using DH against Mets
JUPITER, Fla. -- One day after starter Joe Kelly went 3-for-3 at the plate, the Cardinals returned to the designated hitter for Sunday's game against the Mets at Roger Dean Stadium.
Kelly, who drove in two runs and scored twice, did so in the first game St. Louis pitchers hit this spring.
Sunday's starter Adam Wainwright, owner of a .205 average with six home runs and 33 RBIs in eight Major League seasons, will have to wait until his next outing to pick up a bat. Matt Holliday was the DH, batting third in the order.
"He wasn't happy," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "I just told him it wasn't our decision. Blame it on the Mets, which isn't altogether true. He blamed [bench coach Mike] Aldrete, so I'm good with it."
New York brought a split squad, with half of its team in Las Vegas for Big League Weekend against the Cubs.
Matheny took prior trips to Lake Buena Vista, Fla., into account when filling out a lineup for Friday. St. Louis initially planned for pitchers to hit after Tuesday's day off.
"This could've been one of those days that we did [hit]," Matheny said. "The reason we've done it definitely with the Braves is that's something we've had in the past been an issue.
"We showed up there and weren't quite ready, so we just prepared knowing that they do like having their pitchers hit. Unfortunately for us, the pitchers did hit yesterday."

The Rolandic Epilepsy/ESES/Landau-Kleffner Syndrome and Correlation With Language Impairment Study (REL)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In clinical practice language impairment is frequently reported in association with nocturnal epileptiform activity. There is a spectrum of epileptic conditions that are characterized by nocturnal epileptiform activity. From mild to severe this spectrum involves: Rolandic epilepsy (RE), nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE), Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) and electrical status epilepticus during slow wave sleep (ESES). The exact characteristic of the relationship between nocturnal epileptiform activity and language impairment is yet to be explored. The investigators suggest that nocturnal epileptiform EEG discharges and nocturnal epileptic seizures during development will cause diseased neuronal networks that involve language. The diseased neuronal networks are less efficient compared with normal neuronal networks.
Objective: Identification of a diseased neuronal network characteristic in children with nocturnal epileptiform activity, which can explain language impairment in these children. For this the investigators will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyse brain activity and diffusion weighted MRI to investigate white matter connectivity.
|Rolandic Epilepsy Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy Landau-Kleffner Syndrome Electrical Status Epilepticus During Slow Wave Sleep

|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case Control
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
- Mechanism that causes language problems in childhood epilepsy [ Time Frame: course of study ]Morphological, anatomical or functional correlate that can explain the comorbidity of language problems in childhood epilepsy. In Rolandic epilepsy, e.g., the epileptic focus is in the brain motor strip, and from classical anatomy no connection is known from the motor strip to the language areas. Think of deviations in the brain such as cortical thinning in both regions or aberrant functional or anatomical networks linking both regions.

For the past six months, no one has pounded the table as strongly in favor of selling RIMM as Peter. He has had a $5 target on the stock.
When there was a glimmer of good news for the stock, such as BB10 phones being accepted into carrier labs for testing a couple of weeks ago, Misek was resolute in his conviction that you should sell the news.
Yet the stock is up 25% in the last month.
Following this ramp up in the stock price, and with a specific target date for a BB10 launch at the end of January, Misek now says the stock is worth $10 and says you should hold it instead of viewing it as a "sell."
The main source of his optimism is informal polling of carriers. They tell him that they want a third alternative to Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and Google's (GOOG) Android.
Therefore, they're looking forward to the new BB10 phones. You sense that these carriers believe RIMM might be a better third alternative than Nokia (NOK) or Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone.
Misek says there's a 20%-30% chance that BB10 will be a hit and that RIMM's stock will climb to $43 in 12 months. He says there's a 20% chance that BB10 is a bust and that RIMM can orchestrate a sale for the company for $5 to $7 a share. Finally, he sees a 60% chance that BB10 goes nowhere and that the company can't sell itself, and the stock will go to zero.
My sense is that if you own RIMM and have participated in this rally, you should be selling Misek's upgrade. I believe that the chances of BB10 doing better than expected are higher than he does. However, I believe the stock has come a long way in a month and that we will now be in a holding pattern for the stock until the devices actually start selling in three months. Between now and then, we've got a December earnings report, which might surprise on the downside.
Therefore, you should continue to watch RIMM as a spec stock over the next year, but the run-up has probably run its course for the next two months.

Taking up most of my sewing room floor at the moment:
I received a FQ bundle of Sanctuary by Patty Young aver 2 years ago for Christmas and have just now decided what to do with it!
A quilt.
For me.
And to share with whomever I want. Which will be precious few.
Unless we go on a picnic with friends, then I'll be forced to share.
Yes, I did throw in four non-Sanctuary prints, for the heck-o-it.
A little Echo, some Half Moon Modern, some Joel Dewberry wood grain... and a grey dot napkin from West Elm.
This is NOT the final layout, and more cutting/sewing is to be done tonight!
My plan is to zhuzh it up a little.
Not that plain ol' 18" squares aren't gorgeous on their own...

Waban, Mass. -- Research results released Tuesday by consulting firm Temkin Group revealed, among retailers, Sam's Club and Amazon earned top marks.
According to the 2013 Temkin Experience Rankings which queried 10,000 U.S. consumers about customer service issues across 246 companies in 19 industries, Sam's Club and Amazon earned the top spots in the retail sector and RadioShack was the lowest rated retailer for the third consecutive year.
The retail industry, on average, was tied for third out of 19 industries studied and one of four industries with an average rating of good.
"The retail industry remains one of the better sectors for customer experience, but RadioShack is a real black sheep in the industry," said Bruce Temkin, managing partner of Temkin Group.
The Temkin Experience Ratings evaluated three areas of customer experience: functional, accessible and emotional. Other key findings of the report included:
- Three of the top 10 companies across all industries are retailers: Amazon and Sam's Club (tied for No. 5 overall), and Ace Hardware (No. 7 overall).
- RadioShack is the lowest-rated retailer for the third consecutive year and 191st overall in 2013. The retailer is also the lowest scoring across all three underlying components: functional, accessible, and emotional.
- Amazon and Costco are the top rated in the functional component, Ace Hardware is the top rated in the accessible component, and Nordstrom is the top in the emotional component.
- Office Depot (increase of 11 percentage points) and Barnes & Noble (increase of eight percentage points) made the largest improvements in the industry from 2012.
- J.C. Penney (decrease of six percentage points), Sam's Club (decrease of four percentage points), and Lowe's (decrease of four percentage points) had the largest declines from 2012.
- The average rating for the retail industry increased from 71% in 2012 to 74% in 2013.
- Sixteen of the 24 retailers that were in both the 2012 and 2013 ratings showed improvement.

This book has been kicking around our offices for a long while, yet I didn't lay eyes on it until I saw a great tweet from Maria Speck (@MariaSpeck) about some fabulous recipe or another that was contained in this beautiful book. Ancient Grains for Modern Meals should be billed as a Bob's Red Mill companion piece. After all, we sell most of these grains and folks are always looking for recipes.
Ancient grains have seen a revival over the last few years- with quinoa blazing the trail. Some of these grains can be pretty challenging to use if you're not sure where you're going with them. Thankfully, this book is full to the brim with delicious recipes for all sorts of ancient grains. In fact, the cover photo is so luscious that Bob took our single copy and never brought it back. That's always a good sign around here.
Maria was kind enough to share a recipe with you and has offered to let us giveaway a single copy of her book (details to follow the recipe). When I post the winner, we'll have another recipe to share. The book is available in most book stores and online at amazon.com. We'll also begin selling this book on our website this fall.
We recommend "liking" this book on Facebook for updates and recipes from Maria.
Lemon Quinoa with Currants, Dill and Zucchini
Serves 4 to 6
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped green onions (about 6)
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup quinoa, well rinsed and drained*
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- 1 lemon
to finish
- 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 small)
- 4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (see page 37)
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 To make the quinoa, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the green onions (the oil might splatter!) and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the dark green parts wilt but do not turn brown, about 2 minutes. Add the quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grains start to crackle and turn dry, about 3 minutes. Add the water, the currants, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, finely grate the zest of the lemon until you have 1 teaspoonful, and then squeeze the lemon until you have 2 tablespoons juice.
3 To finish, remove the pan from the heat. Stir the zucchini, lemon juice and zest, 2 tablespoons of the sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of the dill, and the pepper into the quinoa. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes.
4 Transfer the quinoa to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons each of sesame seeds and dill, and serve.
to vary it: For an Italian-inspired side, replace the sesame seeds with toasted pine nuts, use chopped fresh basil instead of dill, and omit the lemon juice.
*If you use Bob's Red Mill quinoa, you do not need to rinse.

Here's what you have to do. It's not hard, but it's required. Leave a comment here on the blog telling me which ancient grain intrigues you the most. A quick google search can tell you which grains are considered ancient.

Topic: time is coming to a close
I have been reading and posting for a year since my Tom was dx a year ago. He has had 2 chemo treatments and 4 embollizations and countless side effects and emergencies to the hospital. Through it all he worked full time, went on some trips with us, had a son's wedding and a wonderful Xmas. I guess we should feel lucky but it's funny life makes you greedy, you want more and more.
Tom has recently been scanned after starting 2nd dose of Folfox as he was gaining a lower extremity weight and feeling punky. The scan shows the tumors ( liver and lung mets) are pretty stable. The bitch of it all is the clots in the lungs. He has had a multitude of clots,obviously not controlled though hypercoagulated on Lovanox,and now they have invaded the vena cava. This is not good and we have to decide whether to let my active, funny loving husband and father of 62 go quietly or painlessly as these clots will permit him...or more chemo for unknown results and horrendous side effects...and for how much longer, if at all?
SO I guess the decision can wait another day, tonite I will climb in bed next to the love of my life of 38 years and hold him in my arms while I pray for a miracle. And then I can remember how lucky I was...

BROOKLYN, NY - On Tuesday, players from the Abraham Railsplitters and the Bishop Loughlin Lions faced off in the Conrad McRae Youth League Championship. Both teams had played throughout most of the summer and topped teams and players from CHSAA and the PSAL en route to the championship game at Bishop Ford HS. When it came down to head-to-head competition for all the marbles, Lincoln would end up being the last team standing.
In a Battle Royale, the players from Lincoln would win through attrition, 58-48.
"Nobody can count Lincoln out," said Coach Kenny Prentlow. Prentlow, who coached the Lincoln players and is an assistant coach of the Railsplitters during the regular season, added, "More than anything, this tournament gave our guys the confidence that we can beat anybody."
The game began with both squads going mano-y-mano and throughout the entire quarter the game was basically a draw. Trash talking and flared tempers ignited an early double tech, displaying how much both teams were invested in the game and the win.
Lincoln led slightly to start the second quarter, 14-11.
Even though big men Travis Charles (12 points) and Joel Angus (13 points) kept Bishop Loughlin in the hunt, early penetration by Shaq Davis (8 points) and perimeter shooting from Ian Vasquez (14 points) elongated Lincoln's lead to 27-19 at the intermission.
Similarly to the semifinal game against South Shore, Khadeem Carrington (11 points) came alive in the third quarter and sliced Lincoln's lead down to three points with 5:30 left.
Loughlin also stepped up defensively as Charles and Angus added blocked shots onto their stat sheet. The result was Lincoln only being able to claim a 31-29 advantage to start the fourth.
The Lions kept the pressure up and with 6:55 left in regulation, Carrington drove down the lane to finally tie the game at 37.
The Railsplitter players quickly regained their lead as Isaiah Watson (11 points) attacked the basket viciously and the team implemented their own brand of defensive intensity.
Tafari Whittingham (8 points) and Isaiah Whitehead (8 points) did not have their best offensive showing but became human repellants of Loughlin's attempt to score.
Offensively, Lincoln instituted high screens and weaves that enabled Davis and Watson to continue attacking the basket. With 2:22 left to play, their lead was back up to eight.
The Lions were relentless and with 1:41, the full court helter skelter pressure they applied began to pay off and reduced the point spread. With Loughlin's momentum peaking in their final run, Charles scored downlow in transition off a Lincoln turnover and also drew a foul. With a chance to cut the lead to three, the senior forward's shot fell short. You could almost hear the air deflate out of the Lion's balloon.
A fast break bucket by Davis with under a minute would suddenly put Loughlin in desperation mode. Over the limit, attempts to foul quick and score quick, backfired and instead punted the Lion's deficit back up to ten points as time expired.
As the Lincoln players collected their championship hardware, NYCHoops.net spoke again to Coach Prentlow. "I was very proud of Quilly (Shaq Davis), Ian and Watson," he said. "They really stepped up for us but especially Quilly. He won the MVP."
While Davis won the MVP, Carrington earned the Sportsmanship award according to tournament director Anton Marchand.

After Dismal September, Insiders Buy Again
It's no secret that insider selling continues to dominate the Inside Scoop headlines; this is something we've noted for months. With the exceptions of Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) and Axis Capital (AXS), September was a selling extravaganza.
Things have also gotten a bit quieter on the selling front recently since many companies have closed their trading windows ahead of quarterly earnings.
Regardless, we dug in hoping to find some buys for this blog post and lo and behold, the experts at InsiderMonkey.com wrote about a few, three of which we couldn't resist sharing today.
Guggenheim Investments (GGM) saw its first buy inflection after Randall C. Barnes, a trustee and director of its Credit Allocation Fund, bought several times over Sept.-Oct. InsiderMonkey notes that he bought 4,000 shares during the past week alone for $93,650 and the shares purchased will remain in his indirect control.
Savings and loan company Pulaski Financial (PULB) also caught our attention when Stanley J. Bradshaw, a director, bought 3,100 shares for $32,400 shares.
Last, but not least, we took a look at Copart (CPRT) after Chairman Willis J. Johnson bought 405,400 shares for $12.8 million. InsiderScore chimed in on this one and wrote, "While we think it's important to be cognizant of the valuation at which insiders were selling within the past year, enough time has lapsed and enough events have transpired (acquisitions, the end of REIT exploration etc.) since Adair and other C-level executives sold that we believe Johnson's purchase is a more relevant sentiment indicator now."
As always, we'll keep looking for those buys and we'll see you over at Inside Scoop.

Roddy White has played in 128 consecutive games for the Atlanta Falcons.
That streak could be threatened if he's unable to recover from an ankle sprain that forced him out of Thursday's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.
FANTASY: Try Fantasy Source for free | 2013 Draft Kit | Top 25 players | 32 sleepers
Ian Rapoport of the NFL.com reports that White has a low-ankle sprain. That is a good indication that while he may be slowed some during the stretch run of the preseason, he should be ready to go for the Week 1 opener at New Orleans.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] July 17, 2006 Time To Apply for Drawings on Public Hunting Lands AUSTIN, Texas -- With the fall hunting season looming on the horizon, now's the time to apply for drawn public hunts. For more than 50 years, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been offering quality, affordable hunting experiences through the special drawings for hunts offered through the department's Public Hunting Program. During the upcoming hunting seasons, more than 5,000 hunters will be selected through random computer drawings allowing access to some of the state's high-quality managed wildlife habitat. Wildlife management areas, state parks and leased private property will be offering quality supervised hunts for white-tailed deer, mule deer, pronghorn, javelina, alligator, exotics, feral hog and spring turkey. Through an application process, hunters can select from among 28 different hunt categories and choose a preferred hunt date and location from 67 hunt areas stretching across the state. There's even a provision for hunting buddies to apply as a group -- in some cases four hunters can apply together on one application. Eight free youth-only hunt categories are available to hunters who are between the ages of 8-16 at the time of application. All hunt positions are randomly selected in a computer drawing from all correctly completed entries received by the specified deadline. A guided bighorn sheep hunt at a West Texas Wildlife Management Area will be offered this year depending on the availability of a bighorn sheep permit. There are also some unique guided hunt opportunities on Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area, including hunts for antelope, waterbuck, white-tailed deer, scimitar-horned oryx and gemsbok. Hunters who have been drawn in the special permit hunts are not required to use a tag off their hunting license on white-tailed or mule deer that are taken. The hunters will be issued the free TPWD Legal Deer Tag at the area when they bring their harvested animal to the check station. This will allow the public hunters additional opportunity to use their license tags. The application fee for adult applicants in most of the public hunt drawings is $3 per adult person on the application. Successfully drawn hunters pay an additional Special Permit fee ($75-125 in most cases) for a one-to-four-day hunt. Special Permit fees do not apply to drawn hunts for pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, guided hunts at Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and drawn hunts on private land. Guided hunts and private land hunts cost $10 per adult person on the application. The application deadline for alligator hunts is Aug. 2. For pronghorn antelope hunts on the Rita Blanca National Grasslands north of Dalhart, the deadline is Aug. 17. Bowhunters also have until Aug. 17 to apply for special drawn public archery hunts. Deadline for the Guided Bighorn Sheep Hunt is August 31. Entries for the general (gun) season deer hunts must be received by Sept. 7. Last year TPWD received 33,999 applications for the 5,737 positions offered in special drawn hunt categories. Information and applications for Special Permit hunts are available on the Public Hunting Web site. Application booklets are currently being mailed to hunters who applied for special permit drawn hunts last year. The booklets will also be available at TPWD law enforcement offices in late July. Information about Special Permit drawn hunts can be found on-line or by calling toll free (800) 792-1112. In addition to the drawn hunts, hunters can enter for the opportunity to win one or more of TPWD's Big Time Texas Hunts exciting hunt packages. The BTTH program offers some of the finest guided hunts in the state. Proceeds from BTTH pay for wildlife conservation work and additional public hunting opportunities in Texas. This year's BTTH line-up offers the following hunt packages: --Texas Grand Slam -- one winner experiences a series of four separate hunts for desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. --Texas Exotic Safari -- two winners get to hunt a choice of African big game species. --Texas Whitetail Bonanza -- 10 winners and their hunting companions receive a high-quality 3-5 day white-tailed deer hunt. --Texas Premium Buck Hunt -- one winner and a hunting guest get the chance to hunt mature trophy white-tailed deer. --Texas Waterfowl Adventure -- one winner can bring up to 3 hunting guests on a coastal prairie goose hunt and East Texas and coastal duck hunts. --Texas Big Time Bird Hunt -- one winner and guests will enjoy quality quail, pheasant, dove and turkey hunts in some of the best places Texas has to offer. --Texas Gator Hunt -- a rare opportunity for a 3-day alligator hunt on the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area. All Big Time Texas Hunts packages include food, lodging and a hunting guide. Some packages, such as the Texas Grand Slam and Texas Exotic Safari provide taxidermy of harvested game. For each BTTH hunt package, the winner can bring along one or more guests, and in some cases guests may also hunt or enjoy other benefits -- see the Web site or brochure for details. Entries for the BTTH hunt packages are still only $10 and hunters can purchase them at any license vendor location or with a major credit card online or by phone at (800) 895-4248. Participants must be age 18 or older to enter and may apply as many times as they like. The deadline to apply in the BTTH drawings for 2006-07 is midnight Nov. 1. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/public/ -30-

Style Media to Produce Home Design Series - with Male Models
With a unique approach to stylish living, Style Media's new docu-series "Built" follows high-fashion male models whose handy skills extend beyond the runways to remodeling homes. Produced by Endemol USA, "Built" follows a Manhattan home design and construction service staffed exclusively with male models who are also experienced handymen. "Built" debuts Monday, January 28 at 9pm ET/PT with a 10-episode order, following the season five premiere of "Jerseylicious" at 8pm ET/PT on Style.
On each new episode of "Built," the five-man crew will tackle a home makeover project by helping their clients with remodeling challenges. A prominent interior designer with Hott and Handy lends her insight and expertise to ensure that the creative expectations are being met. With their different personalities and skill sets, the "Built" team sometimes struggles to find common ground in their work; however, their dizzying good looks bind them together and ensure a handsome ending.
The "Built" show page on StyleNetwork.com launches tomorrow, Thursday, November 15, and will give viewers a sneak peek into what to expect on this new series. The site provides insider access to the cast through exclusive personal blogs, videos and photo galleries. In addition, the cast will give their personal take on what happens in each episode and how viewers at home can achieve similar design success as their clients.
Meet the "Built" cast:
As co-owner of Hott and Handy, Shane Duffy is the point person for the company, bringing in the clients and ensuring that they are happy with the job from start to finish. Having recruited his handy, model friends for his business, Shane is the only one who can keep them all in line, especially when any problems arise during a redesign. The idea for this business venture came to Shane a few years ago when he was doing general handyman work in between modeling gigs and a client called him "hot and handy." Now, he has offices in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami. As a model, he has become one of the most sought-after face and body parts models and has been featured in national and international campaigns for GNC, Johnny Walker, Banana Republic, ASICS, Marlboro and Under Armour, among others. From Texas, Shane served in the National Guard and is an Afghan war vet who spends time volunteering with the USO.
The foreman of the group, Sandy Dias runs the construction team by the book and manages the execution of all projects. He is proficient in the use of hand and power tools and his experience includes framing, sheet rock, doors, plumbing, trim work and tile, to name a few. He loves to remodel homes, especially kitchens, and his current home is based on a Lego design he built as a child. With a degree in Aeronautical Technology, Sandy always wanted to work with airplanes. However, after several people approached him while he worked at LaGuardia Airport, he decided to give modeling a try - and was an overnight success. One of his main clients is Hugo Boss, and additionally, he has worked with Neiman Marcus, Mercedes-Benz, Brunello Cucinelli, Ethan Allen, Tommy Hilfiger and Bloomingdales.
Gage Cass is the artist of the group and loves providing his creative flair to each project. In his spare time, Gage works as a designer on large scale performance pieces for creative festivals such as Burning Man and Art Basel Miami as well as other private events in the New York area. He especially loves working with metal and steel. Gage recently has expanded from modeling for clients such as Jose Cuervo, Coke Zero, Gilded Age, 2(X)IST and Microsoft, to stunts and acrobatics. The highlight of his career was being asked to do a performance with Cirque de Soleil (he framed the paycheck!), and he also repelled off of 30 Rock for a "Spiderman 3" marketing stunt. In addition, Gage is co-founder and president of Mythic Bridge, a non-profit organization that teaches narrative filmmaking and storytelling to underprivileged kids in the Tri-State area.
The funny guy with great hair and an unforgettable laugh, Donny Ware owns the fact that he is good-looking and is not one to take things too seriously. He may be the comic relief of the crew but his experience working on home remodels includes running heavy equipment and digging trenches. Before he was scouted in the modeling world, he worked at a glass factory in southern Florida. A car accident five years ago left his face partially burnt, and after a hard recovery, Donny is now in demand both nationally and internationally, modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, Lacoste, Michael Kors, Bottega Veneta and Ted Baker, to name a few.
Raised in a family of "Mr. Fix Its," Mike Keute learned from an early age how to be handy around the house. He excels in carpentry and organizational-inspired design and recently remodeled his penthouse loft into a stunning three-bedroom apartment. Often referred to as "the brains" and "the muscle" of the group, Mike is a personal trainer who is devoted to maintaining his well-toned physique. His efforts have led to an impressive national and international modeling career, and he consistently serves as Calvin Klein's main underwear model and has worked for such clients as Giorgio Armani, Brunello Cucinelli, Saks Fifth Avenue, GQ and Men's Health. In addition, Mike is pursuing his law degree and MBA simultaneously at Fordham Law School through an accelerated three-year program - a first for any student at the university. Earlier this year, Mike formed Famed International, Inc., an entertainment management company that develops, mentors and legally protects models, actors and artists from around the world. His goal was to start small but with his ambition and drive, his company has grown quickly to become a premier destination for the entertainment industry.
Top interior designer and home stylist Kim Gieske collaborates with the Hott and Handy team on their client services. Her celebrity client list includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Chloe Sevigny, Donatella Versace, Pamela Anderson, Martha Stewart and Ivanka Trump, among others. A former model, Kim's passion for home and fashion led to a career as a lifestyle editor for such magazines as Glamour, Self, House & Garden and Vogue Living. Kim was part of the original team that launched the "Martha Stewart Living" magazine and television show, offering her tips and advice for decorating and styling the home. In addition, Kim is a New York Times best-selling author with her home renovation book "Paige by Paige: A Year of Trading Spaces" based on the hit television series.
"Built" is produced by Endemol USA with Karen Young serving as Executive Producer. Sarah Weidman and Merah Chung executive produce the series for Style.

The original Toy Story mutt...

To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with our sponsor Collectibles Insurance.
It's the original! Created by James Industries, the dog with a real Slinky as a body can be yours! The toy that inspired the character of Slinky Dog in the Toy Story films can still be purchased online and in specialty stores for as low as $13 to as high as $20. I picked up this toy for no other reason than to display alongside my Thinkway Toys Toy Story Collection of full scale movie replicas and while Slinky Dog is not the perfect display piece, it does a decent job.
I'm not 100% certain about this but the packaging for Slink can differ but it's the same basic toy inside. I've seen your standard retail outlets carry Slinky Dog in stock but with Toy Story specific packaging. The boxes never showed the actual toy so I refrained from buying those. Seeing the retro original style box was much more comforting.
There is an included certificate of authenticity that does answer some questions many may have. It reads:
The Collector's Edition Slinky Dog has been recreated in authentic detail down to his quirky leash. Originally placed on his chest, the leash was relocated to his head before production began in 1953 in order to keep his head up while walking. Today, the leash is shorter to comply with federal safety regulations.
And just as it says, the leash coming out from between his eyes is super short. It's barely long enough for anyone to pull. But since I was trying to be Toy Story accurate, snip snip and off it came. There's also a string holding Slinky's front to his back. This restricted Slink from really stretching out so that also had to go.
There's unfortunately no articulation on Slinky Dog as he was meant as a pull toy (complete with little wheels on the bottom of his feet) and there's no way for him to look left or right. I'm unsure if an updated version will ever get made but after three films, they're still selling the same one. If you're a Toy Story collector, this is a very cheap item to add.

text: ^ If there were some way we could acquire KG for like Mahinmi and Solomon Hill, while some other teams sends them a 1st rounder? I'd be interested. KG off the bench at backup center with Scola? Would be lethal. KG expires at season's end too (contract). And he is very familiar with the Heat in playoff competition. Another wiley vet who can draw fouls, shoot, and defend would be nice. He might even accept a bench role just to get the heck out of Brooklyn and go to a contender.

THE controversial renaming of a Darwen street and the replacing of an old decorative stone has been welcomed by a former member of the now-defunct Darwen Civic Society.
As reported in the Lancashire Telegraph last week, Grime Street, off Vale Street, has been renamed Garibaldi Terrace after a stone bearing the name was removed during clearance works in the area, now part of the Orchard Park development.
Historians said they were baffled at the decision to revert to what had been perceived to be the original name, as Grime Street pre-dated Garibaldi Terrace and the two were separate.
David Pack, of Earnsdale Road, told the Lancashire Telegraph: "The original Garibaldi Terrace was located on the site of the new houses numbered 15, 17 and 19 Harwood Street.
"Possibly the stone should have been placed on one of these houses.
"Only the builders know why it has appeared in Grime Street.
"However, I must state that I am pleased that the stone was saved and incorporated in the new development."
