A brain herniation is when brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood vessels are moved or pressed away from their usual position inside the skull.
Herniation syndrome; Transtentorial herniation; Uncal herniation; Subfalcine herniation; Tonsillar herniation; Herniation - brain
Brain herniation occurs when something inside the skull produces pressure that moves brain tissues. This is most often the result of brain swelling from a head injury, stroke, or brain tumor.
Brain herniation can be a side effect of tumors in the brain, including:
Herniation of the brain can also be caused by other factors that lead to increased pressure inside the skull, including:
Brain herniation can occur:
Symptoms may include:
People with a brain herniation have:
A brain and nervous system (neurological) exam shows changes in alertness (consciousness). Depending on the severity of the herniation and the part of the brain that is being pressed on, there will be problems with one or more brain-related reflexes and nerve functions.
Brain herniation is a medical emergency. The goal of treatment is to save the person's life.
To help reverse or prevent a brain herniation, the medical team will treat increased swelling and pressure in the brain. Treatment may involve:
People who have a brain herniation have a serious brain injury. They may already have a low chance of recovery due to the injury that caused the herniation. When herniation occurs, it further lowers the chance of recovery.
The outlook varies depending on where in the brain the herniation occurs. Without treatment, death is likely.
There can be damage to parts of the brain that control breathing and blood flow. This can rapidly lead to death or brain death.
Complications may include:
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or take the person to a hospital emergency room if they develop decreased alertness or other symptoms, especially if there has been a head injury or if the person has a brain tumor or blood vessel problem.
Prompt treatment of increased intracranial pressure and related disorders may reduce the risk of brain herniation.

Uncle Sam was there to help Wells Fargo & Co. with bailout money when the financial crisis hit, but now the lender is paying the price for its role in the recession. The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo in Manhattan federal court under the Federal False Claims Act. The suit is accusing Wells Fargo of "reckless" lending, deceiving the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and leaving the government to foot the bill.
The lender's alleged wrongdoing dates back to May 2001. The lawsuit accuses Wells Fargo of having a "regular practice of reckless origination and underwriting" government-backed loans, and of claiming more than 100,000 loans met FHA guidelines, when in truth, more than half of them did not.
The government is seeking "hundreds of millions of dollars" in damages against Wells Fargo, and bringing its case under the False Claims Act means that if it succeeds in proving the alleged violations, it could collect treble damages.
Wells Fargo denied the allegations in a statement made Tuesday, saying it has acted in "good faith and in compliance" with the regulations.

After healthcare, the materials sector is the best performing sector, year-to-date. While we are only a few days into the 2013 -- and there is plenty of time for things to change -- I decided to look at the best performing subsector: specialty chemicals. The materials sector is the backwater of the S&P 500, since its only 5% of the index, but when the materials sector is working, you should take a look. This group leads any economic recovery.
Perhaps the best performing stock in the sector is PolyOne (POL), which is probably remembered for being one of the few public plastics companies in America. While it still make plastics, the company has been working hard to transform itself into one of the better-run specialty plastics companies.
Companies that make plastic are highly cyclical and many investors don't have the stomach for the group. PolyOne is locked into a highly competitive global marketplace. The company provides plastics to every industry imaginable and supplies. The company supplies dozens of industries, including: appliances, construction, electronics, healthcare, industrial, packaging, textiles and transportation. In the past, the business was so competitive that profits were hard to find. But over the last six years, the company has transformed itself into a leading maker of specialty plastics. The company has aggressively moved into manufacturing high performance plastics such as the types that used in the healthcare field. Management has even announced more environmentally friendly products.
In 2005, specialty plastic accounted for about 2% of operating income. Today, that number has increased to 46% and the company has a goal of earning 70% of its operating income from specialty plastics by 2015. By focusing on the highly profitable part of the business, the company believes it can grow revenues from $2.9 billion in fiscal 2011 to $5 billion by 2015. In terms of earnings, the company believes it can achieve a 25% compounded annualized growth rate as it approaches $2.50 in earnings per share.
To see how far it has come, just look back to 2006 when the specialty business had a 1.5% operating margin. Now the business is sporting an almost 10% operating margin.
For fiscal 2012, the Street consensus estimate is revenue of $2.97 billion and $3.34 billion in 2013. If the company were able to grow revenue 12%, that would translate into a 30% year-over-year increase in pre-tax profits, or about $1.36 per share.
The materials sector is highly leveraged to a global economic recovery and PolyOne is leading the charge in the specialty chemical space.

Category: The Possibility of You
A lot of you know that, besides being the co-mistress of Nameberry, I'm a novelist. In fact, my new book, The Possibility of You, comes out today.
While writing about names and writing historical fiction are often very different enterprises, there are times when my worlds collide. Like when it's time to name my characters.
For some fiction writers, character naming might be a minor consideration, somewhere above comma placement but far below such elements as title and voice and what the characters eat for dinner.
Not so for me, of course, with the character's name being his or her most important defining characteristic. In my view, the character's name contains a kind of DNA code for who they are and where they come from, what they value and how they hope to change.

CARSON, Calif. – As players streamed off the practice field in groups following a recent Chivas USA training session, Giovani Casillas was nowhere to be found.
Usually in the middle of it all on the pitch,the 19-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder took his time. He stretched and calmly walked to the bench, turning around to see that none of his teammates remained.
Yet one would be mistaken to think Casillas is an outcast here.
"Like the rest of my teammates, I'm here to contribute and I'm trying to be transcendent," said Casillas who, along with Mario de Luna and Edgar Mejía was added to the roster on loan from sister club CD Guadalajara.
New Chivas USA manager José Luis Sánchez Solá's eyes light up when he talks about the promising young player.
READ: 2013 Chivas USA Preview: Chelís building something new
"He's a jewel they have there in Guadalajara," Sánchez Solá said. "By the necessities of the first team there, he doesn't get minutes, but here he'll have an opportunity to develop. A young player that doesn't play stays behind.
"His competition level has to be high in order to progress, and the competition level in Mexico at the Under-20 level is too easy for him. It doesn't fit him anymore. He needs these types of games, situations, challenges and responsibilities. Hopefully in May or December I'll be able to turn in a much more mature Casillas."
In 2011, Casillas was a key contributor for the Mexican side that captured the FIFA U-17 World Cup. He also scored a goal against FC Barcelona in Chivas Guadalajara's 4-1 World Football Challenge victory over the Spanish giants in Miami that summer.
Now, the Guadalajara-born Casillas intends to take the next step in his development.
"I'm going to get more experience here and I'm going to mature quicker," Casillas said. "I hope to learn a lot from my teammates, especially the veterans. I hope to learn and follow their lead to continue my growth. Hopefully I play well enough to, God willing, head to Europe, but right now I'm trying to work hard each day with my sights set on this MLS season."
READ: Chelís makes clear that Chivas colors come with great responsibility
Casillas had two goals and two assists this preseason while primarily occupying an attacking midfielder role next to fellow Goats newcomer Eric Avila. He is listed as a forward on the club's official roster.
"I'm sure he'll do great here," Mejía said of Casillas. "He's young but very complete as a player. He now has the experience of playing in Mexico's First Division and has been working extremely well here."
Casillas captured the heart of an entire country with a resounding goal at Estadio Azteca against Uruguay in the U-17 World Cup final, then debuted in Mexico's top flight the following month before a knee injury sidetracked his progress.
Now, he is determined to live up to Sánchez Solá's expectations.
"To know the coach has good things to say about me really makes me happy," Casillas said. "It means I'm doing my job well, but also drives me to keep working. ... We need to win the first game and hopefully come out as league champions. Then, if another opportunity arises from it, we can think about the future."

A Chippenham recruitment business is appealing for donations of Easter eggs to give to families at the Christian outreach charity Rise Trust.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Mexico's greenhouse tomato producers are working for peace but preparing for war.
While Mexican tomato industry representatives continue working with commerce officials to avoid a possible trade war resulting from Florida growers' call to end the tomato suspension agreement, members of AMHPAC approved an assessment based a grower's number of hectares to raise funds for legal fees in the case.
The vote took place Aug. 22 on the opening day of the annual convention of AMHPAC, the Mexican association of protected horticulture.
Eric Viramontes, AMHPAC director general and chief executive officer, said the marketplace has room for growers from all regions and that Florida's effort distracted from a shared interest in growing U.S. tomato consumption.
"We would love not to fight," Viramontes said Aug. 24.
He said scuttling the agreement could bring retaliatory action from Mexico.
In 2009, Mexico slapped retaliatory duties on U.S. shipments of apples, cherries, grapes, pears and other items after the Obama administration ended a pilot program for Mexican trucks in the U.S. The situation was resolved and tariffs scaled back in 2011.
Citing unfair trade practices, the Maitland-based Florida Tomato Exchange filed documents in late June with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission requesting withdrawal from the 1996 suspension agreement, an anti-dumping duty petition regulating a floor price for Mexican imports.
Commerce officials ruled Aug. 21 the agency it will take comments on the tomato suspension case until Sept. 4.
U.S. tomato interests had urged the Commerce Department to terminate the suspension agreement, with Florida growers saying they have been subject to unfair trade practices from Mexican tomato exporters for years.
Hot for peppers?
Uncertainty about the tomato market stemming from the suspension agreement controversy is leading some Mexican growers to move toward producing more peppers or other vegetable crops this season, said Fried de Shouwer, president of Greenhouse Produce Co. LLC, Vero Beach, Fla., which sources from greenhouses in several areas of Mexico.
Seed companies have seen increased orders for bell pepper seeds and other non-tomato vegetable crops, he said.
While tomato producers in Mexico and Florida are on the front lines of the suspension agreement situation, the financial stake of U.S. retail and foodservice clients regarding the need for a stable tomato market adds to the urgency to settle the issue in a timely manner.
Chris Ciruli, chief operations officer of Nogales, Ariz.-based importer Ciruli Bros., said the amount of business and money on the line on both sides of the border and to so many allied sectors of the economy — transportation, distribution, equipment, marketing — should result in Mexican and U.S. trade negotiators coming to a resolution.
Tomatoes account for about 60% of production among AMHPAC's 260 members, with bell peppers, squash, eggplant and other vegetables making up the difference, Viramontes said.
The group's convention ran Aug. 22-25.

I am deliberately leaving the commentary on the latest mass killings in the US to Americans – this was Kate Elmer's response to the last but one massacre…

I miss the sense of space. The way you can drive for miles on straight roads where the only variation in the scenery is the swapping of cornfields for soybean fields.

Dress Code: Ashley Madekwe's Real Style
From The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo taking over our movie screens and Kindles, to Ikea taking over our homes, to H&M taking over our closets, the Swedes are having a moment. So when I was offered a front-row seat to Swedish cool at their most recent Fashion Week, I jumped at the opportunity.
Swedish fashion is all about simple, functional design. Even better, it's affordable. Historically, fashion was made for the masses: "Your own taste, at the government price" was a state campaign in the 1930s. Today, it still holds true — but the latest crop of designers are combining their value-driven tradition with international style. The result: effortlessly modern clothes you'll want to wear every day.
Cool and edgy, the line is designed by three sisters: Jennifer, Pernilla, and Sofie Elvestedt. Plus, their shoes are amazing. (Lady Gaga is a fan!) Lucky for us, their website ships to the U.S. (minimarket.se)

Krol to rest arm for a couple of weeks
CLEVELAND -- Ian Krol's arm isn't hurt, he insists. It just doesn't have the life it did earlier in the season. That's enough of a concern for the Tigers that they wanted him to take a couple of weeks to recover.
"Nothing hurting, nothing sore," Krol said.
Though Krol is listed on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation, the term he and manager Brad Ausmus are using is "dead arm." If that sounds familiar, it's the same phrase closer Joe Nathan used to describe his situation in mid-April, when his velocity was down and his pitches didn't have the same life.
When dead arm happens at midseason, however, it's a greater concern than early in the year. When it happens to a young pitcher like Krol, the concern rises further. His fastball velocity was down from 94 miles per hour in May to about 92 mph so far in June.
Krol's disabled-list stint essentially allows the Tigers to get his workload back under control and reset his arm. Between Phil Coke's struggles and a lack of other lefty relievers until recently, Krol appeared in 35 of Detroit's first 69 games.
The workload was coming in not only the 23-year-old's first full Major League season, but just his second year as a reliever. He was primarily a starting pitcher on his way up the Minor Leagues before the Nationals converted him to the bullpen. Krol is still learning the nuances of throwing enough pitches to warm up in the bullpen without wasting pitches.
"The bullpen has been great," he said. "At the same time, it's been tough on my arm."
Even without soreness, Krol will spend the upcoming week getting treatment on his arm before he resumes throwing later in the week. He expects to take a brief rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo around the start of July before he's eligible to come back off the DL on July 6.

Not completely by accident but surely my doing, the styles we used as "standard" are screwed up.
reason for this was looking in weird places for a problem that in the end did not exist anymore to begin with, but was based upon data from 2 months ago.
Anyhow until this is fixed, please direct your "styles" (bottom of page, pulldown) to "vb standard
I am sorry for the inconvenience, but hope one of our resident style gurus can fix it after the game.
and NO you can NOT require ANY of US to do it now!

Unlike most bums, Ty Schleicher of Maxwell painted signs that asked for no help at all.
Over lunch at Mongolian Grill and Kings Bufffet, he and some friends hatched an idea -- to stand on the corner of a street and hold cardboard signs that would brighten people's days.
"We decided not to do anything that would get me put in jail or physically hurt, but I didnt want to do a boring project, so we thought outside the box," said Ty, who is a sociology student at North Platte Community College.
The goal was to invoke a response -- either negative, positive, or just plain confused.
To set himself apart from the everyday average begging person, Ty decided not to ask for money but instead to make people laugh and brighten their day at his expense. To stand on the corner and hold a cardboard sign is humiliating; it gave him the feeling that he had dropped a few rungs in social status.
Ty considers people who beg either lazy or smart. He thinks the standard beggar is lazy, because if the person is really that low on cash nearly every fast food joint is hiring, so they should get a job.
On the other hand, some beggars wear Nike shoes, nice jeans, and probably stay in a camper around the corner at night. He (or she) gets tax-free donations by just holding a sign that is probably untrue and playing on the fact that there are trusting people in this world that feel bad for him (or her.)
'I'm in good shape'
Ty made signs that were ironic or mildly funny.
On all of the signs he wrote, Hi Im Ty -- to make a proper introduction and break the ice, so to speak. In his life, he had never seen a beggar introduce themself.
"I dont think people want to know the name of the person begging, it makes things too personal," he said.
After the introduction, he put such quotes as: Financially Stable, "My car is parked a block away, "Dont eat yellow snow, Bet this is not what you were expecting, My mom loves me, "Dont tell my girlfriend.
People probably expect something like Anything helps, God Bless," so his signs conveyed socially different messages, the essential part of the assignment.
How did people react?
"When people pulled up in their cars it was easy to evaluate what was going on in their minds," he said. "Some people would roll up their windows while smoking. Others would stop 10 yards from the intersection and wait for the green light, or they would immediately occupy themselves by turning up the radio. And, some would just refuse to even look up at me -- obviously disapproving and scared that I would want to talk to them or ask for money, so they avoided the situation."
On the other hand there was one nice lady who Ty guessed could not read his sign that said, I dont want your money." She tried to hand him $3 when she pulled up. Ty said the best response was when the people laughed at the signs.
"They understood that I was a bit different and that I was just out to make someone smile," he said. "I guess the most interesting response was the people that were just plain confused. They did not understand the irony of what my signs said so they just gave me the dumb confused look."
Overall the experience was great, Ty said. He created a facebook page and told the Bulletin about his "happy bum" experience.
"I enjoyed myself watching the motorist reactions to the signs," he said. "I plan on possibly doing this again in the future just because of the fun that I and my friends had."
Ty said the project was "defiantly different, but that was the point."

I live in Pittsburgh PA. For those who are familiar with Pittsburgh's topography, you know this city is similar to San Francisco. I have never gotten better than an average of high 30's, often low 30's. I am interested in hearing from others in cities that "all up and down" to see if my problem is to be expected, or if I should ask the dealer if there is some problem causing this low milage. Certainly, I know that the hills don't heop millage. I am just unsure as to whether my experience is typical of Prius performance in the "hills"


text: Many rematches among AAA girls regional basketball showdowns tonight By Tommy R. Atkinson February 25, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's often said that familiarity breeds contempt, and that's the biggest hurdle coaches will be guarding against tonight.The Class AAA girls basketball regional co-finals feature several rematches from the regular season, but this time the losers will turn in their jerseys and head home while the winners fulfill their dream of moving on to Charleston. The two regional co-champions advance to the state tournament, which will take place March 6-9 at the Charleston Civic Center.Region 3 rematches include George Washington (16-8), which finished ninth in the final Associated Press poll, hosting No. 7 Princeton (18-5) and Capital (9-13) visiting No. 1 and defending state champion Greenbrier East (24-0).In Region 4, St. Albans (14-10) hosts red-hot Logan (14-9) as the teams face off for the first time while Winfield (12-12) visits No. 2 Spring Valley (21-3) for a second meeting.The other regional co-finals feature Wheeling Park (14-9) visiting Morgantown (18-5) and Parkersburg South (16-7) hosting University (18-6) in Region 1. Morgantown and Park will be squaring off for the third time, with the Mohigans winning the two previous games. South and University will also be tangling for the third time, with the Hawks owning the upper hand with two victories.In Region 2, Martinsburg (14-6) visits Hampshire (11-12) and Hedgesville (17-7) hosts Elkins (6-16). The four teams involved didn't face each other during the season.GW defeated Princeton 61-56 a couple of weeks ago to lock up the East Division title of the Mountain State Athletic Conference and earn a berth into the championship game during the Night of Champions. "It's always tough to beat a team twice, especially a team like Princeton, who's been state-ranked all year,'' said GW coach Jamie LaMaster, whose team has advanced to the state semifinals the past two seasons. "I do like the experience we have."This is the third regional [co-]final game we've had in the last three years and all three have been here at GW. We're going to have to do all the right things.''The matchup features three scorers in the top 10 of the MSAC in Princeton senior guard McKenzie Akers (conference-best 24.9 points per game), GW senior guard Rachel Ward (17.9) and Patriots junior post Kelli Jo Harrison (16.5). In the last meeting, GW survived a 32-point performance from Akers as the Tigers closed within a couple of points late in the game, forcing Ward to knock down several pressure-packed free throws to seal the victory. Ward finished with 20 points, Harrison added 17 and senior center Leslie Gilmore turned in a career-high 15 points. Harrison and Gilmore also finished with double-digit rebound totals."If we can control the glass and those guards a little bit ... if you think you're going to stop them you're fooling yourself,'' LaMaster said. "We have to be the stronger team inside.''Capital has the unenviable task of traveling to Greenbrier County to face the undefeated Spartans. The Cougars, though, made a game of it the last time, losing 68-57."We got off to a bad start against them [then] played much, much better in the second half,'' said Capital coach B.J. Calabrese. "We lost by 11 but really felt that the game could've and should've been closer than what it was."The Cougars rely on senior guards Khadijah Lee (13.1) and Keke Walker (10.7) while St. Joseph 6-foot transfer Dashia Foster has given them an inside presence. East is led by senior wing Bianca Andre', who averages 19.6 points to lead three double-figure scorers. Winfield lost by 30 points at home to Spring Valley in late January. The Generals only have one double-digit scorer in Haeley Moore (10.9) while the Timberwolves rely on the inside-outside combination of Madison Morris (17.8) and Sarah Kelly (10.4).St. Albans and Logan didn't face each other during the regular season. The Red Dragons swept their section but scored just 38 points per game in doing so. The Wildcats upset No. 3 and MSAC champion Huntington on its home floor then lost by one point to Spring Valley in the section final.SA sophomore post Breanna Propst averages 16.5 points but is the only Dragon in double figures. Logan features a one-two punch of 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Shayna Gore (17.7), who has exploded for 27 and 36 points, respectively, in the last two games, and 6-2 freshman post Monica Mitchell (14.9), who has had games of 21 and 18."We've gotten into a habit of playing pretty good basketball, having the lead at halftime and coming out with a lack of energy in the third quarter and letting teams back into the game,'' said SA coach Scott James. "We've just got to come out with more energy and desire and we'll be fine.''Reach Tommy R. Atkinson at email@example.com or 304-348-4811.

AMBULANCE service bosses say they are delighted with a massive response to their latest paramedic recruitment campaign.
More than 1,100 people applied to advertisements by West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) for 120 places for student paramedics.
WMAS recruitment advisor, Louise Harris, said: "This is a fantastic response. We thought it would be a popular role, but to get so much interest is tremendous as it means we will be able to ensure we have the highest quality of candidates.
"We have been pleasantly surprised by the wide range of people who have applied. They come from all sections of our area and have a wide range of backgrounds and communities which is really positive.
"We are currently planning to run four courses of 30 over the coming months. "As a Trust, we are committed to ensuring that we have a paramedic on every vehicle. We already have one of the highest rates of paramedics in the country but this programme will take us one step closer to that vision." Assessment of applicants is due to start in early February.

WEDGE manager Craig Spreadborough admitted he was shocked that his team's game against Greendown went ahead at all at the weekend.
The Swindon Sunday League Division 5 fixture improbably beat the weather despite an almost complete wipeout of local football by rain.
No other games took place in the Swindon Sunday League and the Wiltshire League and Swindon & District League programmes were washed out.
Only four matches were played in the North Berks League and the same amount went ahead in the North Wilts Youth League.
With that in mind, Spreadborough was fully expecting his team's away fixture at Grange Park to suffer the same fate.
However, it was to his team's benefit that the fixture got the green light, as they emerged 3-2 winners.
"It was a surprise when you think that games involving professional teams were called off at the weekend," said Spreadborough.
"Although the surrounding area was pretty boggy, the pitch was in good condition and held up quite well which was good to see.
"It was a surprise to ourselves that the game was on as I phoned them up expecting them to say that it was going to be called off.
"Getting to the pitch wasn't brilliant as the bits of grass that weren't cut in the surrounding area were a bit marshy, but the pitch itself was absolutely fine."
Wedge's victory enabled them to give their Division 5 survival hopes a big boost as they leapfrogged Greendown to push their rivals further into the mire.
Spreadborough's troops seized the initiative in the first half when Chris Wood volleyed home a cross from the flank.
However, Greendown pulled level when they beat the offside trap and the one-on-one was converted.
Wood was at it again before the break and again it was a one-on-one situation, as he managed to convert despite appearing to be fouled in the act of scoring.
After the break Wedge extended their advantage when Nick Stanley notched a rare header from a corner, but there was still another twist in the tail.
A clearing header fell to the feet of a Greendown player who sent the ball straight into the top corner with a superb strike.
However, Wedge were able to hold on and Spreadborough was delighted with the win.
"It's a good three points for us, especially after the start we had to the season," he said.
"We had a shaky start to the season and had a big turnaround in our squad with a new set of players coming in around late October.
"The majority of the squad is existing Wedge players and Old Town's Saturday squad (from the Swindon & District League), and as of next year we're going to be known as Old Town Sunday.
"We're hoping to finish top four this season which I think would be a good result for us."

In 2008 the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation received a letter written on behalf of the heirs of the German collector Prof. Alfred Pringsheim (1850-1941), the owner of a celebrated collection of Italian maiolica, from which seven pieces were acquired by the collector J.N. Bastert that are now in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
The heirs asked the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation, which was the owner of the objects, to return them. The museum responded by proposing that the question be jointly submitted for a binding recommendation to the Advisory Committee on the Assessment for Items of Cultural Value and the Second World War (the Restitutions Committee). The museum is currently awaiting the heirs' reply, but in the meantime has launched its own investigation of the history of the collection.
Alfred Pringsheim was a well-known and highly respected professor of mathematics at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich. His father left him a large fortune made in the coal and railway industries, which enabled Pringsheim to become a major benefactor. He and his wife Hedwig Dohm, a prominent feminist who was the daughter of a journalist, entertained many guests from the cultural elite of Bavaria and Munich in the 'palace' they had built in Narcissstrasse. Thomas Mann, one of their regular visitors, married Katia, the Pringsheim's daughter, who bore him five children.
Pringsheim was a collector in several spheres, but was known internationally above all for his collections of maiolica, silver and gilt objects. The maiolica collection was described by Otto Falke, director of the Schlossmuseum in Berlin, in an authoritative, two-volume scholarly catalogue.
Alfred and Hedwig Pringsheim were non-practising Jews. In 1933 they were forced to sell their house to the Nazi Deutscher Arbeitersverein and had to move. Their collection had formed a large part of their capital since 1912, and they now started eating into it as a result of the unfavourable sale of their house and the difficult position they found themselves in.
They had been trying to sell parts of the collection since 1933, including the maiolica, but that became completely impossible in 1936 when the maiolica was put on the national heritage list, which prohibited its export. The Pringsheims' passports were seized in 1937, scotching any prospect of fleeing to Switzerland, as Katia and Thomas Mann had been urging. On 21 November 1938 much of their collection was confiscated by the Gestapo, including the silver and the paintings. The couple finally got permission to auction the collection abroad, provided various pieces and two silver beakers by Ludwig Krug were 'donated' to the state. The sale took place in June and July 1939 at Sotheby's in London. A large portion of the disappointing proceeds had to be paid to the German state, with Alfred and Hedwig Pringsheim using the remainder to emigrate to Switzerland.
At the London sale on 7-8 June and 19-20 July several of the maiolica objects were bought by Hein Hamer for Jaap Bastert (1891-1976) and his wife Iet van Schaardenburg (1894- 1985). Dr Mienke Simon Thomas, senior curator of decorative arts in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, published an article on the collector J.N. Bastert in the anthology 150 jaar Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam 1999).
In 1940, Museum Boijmans staged an exhibition of the Bastert-Van Schaardenburg Collection under the title Oud-aardewerk van 1250 tot 1650. Tentoonstelling van oud- aardewerk uit de verzameling Bastert-van Schaardenburg (Old Earthenware from 1250 to 1650. Exhibition of Old Earthenware from the Bastert-Van Schaardenburg Collection). On 1 May that year Bastert was appointed a curator in the museum, and that summer negotiations got under way for the sale of the collection, which included maiolica from the Pringsheims.
The collection was bought in 1941 with funds provided by the Rotterdam Administration Fund Foundation (which was closely allied to the Promotion of Popular Well-Being Foundation), the Erasmus Foundation, the Rembrandt Association and Bastert's father-in-law. It was given to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation on permanent loan and was bought by the City of Rotterdam in 1948.
The Pringsheims died in exile - Alfred on 25 June 1941 and Hedwig on 27 July 1942. After the Second World War the proceeds of the auction were repaid in full and the objects confiscated by the Nazis (precious metal and other objects) were returned to the Pringsheim heirs. Problems over the export of these objects from Germany were finally resolved in 1953 after the sale of the so-called Holbein goblet to the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum.

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been. --Wayne Gretzky
One of the keys to being a good investor is going where the market is headed, not where it has been. This is especially true when investing in technology stocks. A good example of this is the flash-memory market. A recent report estimates that hard-drive sales will decline 12% in 2013 as tablets and smartphones continue to eat into PC sales. Seagate (STX), one of main hard-drive makers, issued soft forward guidance in late January that foreshadows the industry's challenges.
On the other end of the spectrum, sales of flash memory used in smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices are predicted to increases 14% in 2013. This should provide a nice tailwind to one of the main flash memory makers, SanDisk (SNDK).
Seagate provides a much lower price-to-earnings ratio (4.5 vs. 29.7) than SanDisk and pays a 4.5% dividend, which the flash-memory maker doesn't. But I would rather own SanDisk, as the company has much better growth prospects and has had recent catalysts, including:
- Its products were recently included in the iPhone 5. It was the first time a SanDisk design was incorporated into the iPhone. Flash memory is the second-highest-priced component in the iPhone 5.
- Apple (AAPL) is trying to lessen its dependence on supplier Samsung, which is a primary competitor in the smartphone market. This should bode well long term for SanDisk.
- Flash memory pricing erosion is improving, as manufacturers have been more prudent in expanding capacity recently.
- It is growing its solid-state drive products, and the company estimates this could be as much as 25% of revenue by 2014.
- Needham upgraded shares to Buy from Hold two weeks ago.
- SanDisk should be able to cut manufacturing costs by As much as 20% in 2013.
Four reasons SanDisk provides growth for a reasonable price at $50 a share:
- The stock is more reasonably priced from a forward PE (12.6) perspective, which is a discount to its five-year average (16.1).
- The company has crushed earnings estimates the last three quarters as the flash-memory pricing cycle has improved.
- Analysts expect approximately 10% revenue growth in both 2013 and 2014. The stock also sports a low five-year projected PEG of 0.59.
- SanDisk has a solid balance sheet with more than $1 billion of net cash on the books (approximately 10% of current market capitalization).

Who was Isabella Coleman?
Isabella Coleman was a Pasadena resident who is noted for creating float design and decorating techniques that are still used today.
In 1904 at age 12, she helped decorate flower-covered wagons for the Rose Parade and as a teen she entered her own float, winning second place in the horse-drawn conveyance category.
She went on to design more than 250 award-winning floats for the parade. She retired in 1969, and in 1974 the Tournament of Roses honored her contributions by creating the Isabella Coleman Trophy for floats with the best presentation of color and color harmony.
All the floats in the Rose Parade are special, but some of them receive special accolades in the form of a trophy acknowledging one of their outstanding aspects. Three judges are selected by the Tournament of Roses Judging Committee each year to review the floats and score them in a series of categories over two sessions while they are being decorated. The winners are announced prior to the parade.
But the big question for parade-goers and viewers could be — what are the trophies for? Some of the trophy names are obvious, while others have an air of mystery. Here are the 24 trophies that are to be awarded in the 125th Rose Parade:
Who was Lathrop K. Leishman?
Lathrop K. Leishman is recognized for obtaining the Wrigley Mansion on Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena for the Tournament of Roses headquarters.
He was president of the Tournament of Roses in 1939 and grand marshal in 1979. He was also on the Football Committee and Rose Bowl Game Management Committee. He died in 1995.
The Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy is awarded for the most beautiful entry from a noncommercial sponsor.
Sweepstakes Trophy: Most beautiful entry.
Animation Trophy: Best display of animation.
Craftsman Trophy: Outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact for a float more than 55 feet in length.
Crown City Innovation Trophy: Best use of imagination and innovation to advance the art of float design.
Director's Trophy: Outstanding artistic merit in design and floral presentation.
Extraordinaire Trophy: Most spectacular entry.
Fantasy Trophy: Best display of fantasy and imagination.
Founder's Trophy: Most beautiful entry built and decorated by volunteers from the sponsoring community or organization.
Complete coverage of the 2014 Rose Parade
Governor's Trophy: Best depiction of life in California.
Grand Marshal's Trophy: Most creative concept and design.
Bob Hope Humor Trophy: Most comical and amusing.
International Trophy: Most beautiful entry from outside the United States.
Isabella Coleman Trophy: Best presentation of color and color harmony.
Judge's Special Trophy: Outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact.
Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy: Most beautiful entry from a noncommercial sponsor.
Mayor's Trophy: Most outstanding city entry.
National Trophy: Best depiction of life in the United States.
Past Presidents' Trophy: Most innovative use of both floral and non-floral materials.
President's Trophy: Most effective use and presentation of flowers.
Princesses' Trophy: Most beautiful entry less than 35 feet in length.
Queen's Trophy: Best use of roses.
Theme Trophy: Best presentation of the Rose Parade theme. The 2014 theme is "Dreams Come True."
Tournament Special Trophy: Exceptional merit in multiple classifications.
Tournament Volunteers' Trophy: Best floral design of parade theme less than 35 feet in length.

10 Best Shows You Need to Watch This Fall
A few weeks ago, I took a 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS out on the open roads of Colorado, careening around corners and cruising through tunnels cut through mountains west of Denver. Last week, I repeated the same drive. But this time I had a controller in my hand as I played a preview version of Forza Horizon, the new open-world variant of the mega-selling Xbox racing franchise.
Forza 4, the previous game in the franchise, simulates some of the world's great racetracks. But drivers can race only on these closed courses—there's no venturing out. In Forza Horizons, out Oct. 23, not only can players drive amazing real-life cars, but they can also take them out of the racetrack onto the highways of Colorado, which developers Turn 10 and Playground Games modeled for this expansive game.
Everything you see in Forza Horizon references a real-world highway, scenic vista, or actual object. That seemed like a lofty goal, so this summer I set out to prove whether it were true—I drove most of the route through the Rocky Mountain State that the developers used as reference material to see if the reality matched the simulation. Ford let me borrow a 2013 Flex, which was ideal for recording the video and photos. And to gauge the experience of driving fast on curvy mountain roads, I also borrowed a 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS. Then, this past week, I finally got my hands on an early preview build of the game
The game has 216 distinct roads. I can't share every detail about the map Turn 10 provided to help me on the drive, but it starts in Denver, stretches west toward Glenwood Springs, dips down to Paonia and then to Grand Junction (and the Colorado National Monument), heads south toward Telluride, then east toward Colorado Springs. It's well over 1000 miles of reference material, and I probably drove about 700 miles of it.
You shouldn't miss the route just west of Denver along Highway 70 toward Grand Junction, Colo. I'm convinced it's the most scenic drive in America. You can drive 80 mph for most of the route. The scenery changes from tree-lined mountaintops to a rocky terrain with tunnels carved through mountains, bounded by river gorges and man-made reservoirs aplenty. It's all downhill for 3 to 4 hours of driving, and the four-lane roadway is mostly congestion-free in midday. The scenery changes about every 30 minutes, as though Colorado itself is shifting gears.
The guys at Turn 10 Studios didn't simply re-create this one major highway, though. Driving on an Xbox 360 isn't driving a real car, and even with these stunning vistas, players would have gotten bored. Ralph Fulton of Playground Games, a design director for the game, tells me that gamers expect scenes to change about every 3 minutes, not every 30. So Forza Horizon includes many of the highway scenes I drove through, but condensed for the Xbox experience.
Some of the best scenery in the game, though, is on the northeastern side of the map, a bit south and east of the fictional town of Beaumont. Fulton told me this is based on reference material collected near the real town of Paonia, Colo., and the Paonia Reservoir. You'll find tunnels, road-side barns, and raging waterfalls rendered perfectly.
And if gawking at the scenery isn't your thing, don't worry. On the long, straight highway in the game running north to south to the far west, just south of the fictional town of Carson (which is based on Central City, Colo.), you can gun that Audi R8 GT all the way up to 200 mph.
Whose Cloud Music Service is the Best?

TROWBRIDGE head coach Steve Ojomoh has backed his cup heroes to carry on creating history as they close in on a fairytale trip to the home of English rugby.
Saturday's 20-15 victory over Devon visitors Ivybridge in the South West Intermediate Cup final sent the Doric Park side into the last four of the national Intermediate competition and just one victory away from a showpiece final at Twickenham in May.
Trowbridge will face the side to emerge from the London & South East section in the semi final on April 19 – with Guildford and Ealing's Old Priorian still to do battle for their regional prize. The draw for home advantage in the semi final will take place on Tuesday, March 11.
Victory in that clash would send Ojomoh's men to the final against the victors to come through from the North & Midlands areas at Twickenham on May 3, when the annual Army v Navy match will also take place.
"We just want to keep going, we don't want it to end. We want the big prize,'' said Ojomoh.
"It (the semi final) is going to be a fantastic occasion for the club. A couple of weeks ago (they beat Bletchley to lift the Southern Counties Intermediate Cup) was the high point in the club's history and this is the next one.
"I think we realise we're in the moment and we're just going to enjoy every game. It's not a chore. Winning helps, but coming here and seeing people with smiles on faces is creating that culture and that's what we're trying to do here.''
Ojomoh, capped 12 times by England and a veteran of Five Nations Championship and Rugby World Cup campaigns as well as a plethora of major Twickenham cup finals during his career with Bath, admitted even he was feeling the tension as his side closed out their dramatic triumph on Saturday, courtesy of tries from skipper Matt Howard and veteran Mark Durant.
"It's difficult. I think I played an additional 80 minutes with them,'' he said.
"But it's wonderful. What a great advert for the game. I thought it was a really great game of rugby.
"It's a cup match and it's any which way. When you play good sides, you are going to have periods when you don't have the ball and you are under pressure.
"I thought we defended very well and that's one aspect that really pleased me because they (Ivybridge) kept the ball for long periods.''

It's an intriguing scenario: This summer, a weekend soccer player will enter Adidas' store in downtown Manhattan to buy a pair of top-of-the-line F50s. He will turn down offers of help and saunter to the right of checkout where four 46-in. touch-screens are stacked. He will tap the play button on a video showing two pros putting the $270 shoe through its paces on the pitch and then removing the digital MiCoach tracking device in the sole and plugging it into a computer to review their performances. He likes what he sees, so he hits the "Men" button to display all the colors and styles of F50s the store has in stock. He sees one he likes and taps it. A large version appears and he runs his finger across the screen to view it from all angles. Grabbing a size 10 fitting boot from the rack to his left, he tries it on and it fits like a glove. Only then does he ask an associate for help to retrieve the pair he wants to buy from the stockroom.
The customer will complete his purchase within 10 minutes of entering the store and leave without ever having wandered more than 15 ft. from the checkout counter. The new age of retail automation has arrived on Lower Broadway.
An Adidas store in Oxford, England, increased sales of F50s five-fold when it was the first to test the technology described above (referred to as the Adidas Virtual Footwear Wall) early this year, and Adidas promptly shipped its technological wizardry to New York in March to try it out on U.S. consumers. Chain-wide rollout to all 2,300 company-owned stores appears to be a foregone conclusion.
"All locations would be the ultimate goal," said Chris Aubrey, Adidas' Germany-based director of commercial experience. "We will continue to test in 2012, but next year we will begin to roll it out. We are even looking at installing walls in the stores of our wholesale customers as well." (Adidas has some 5,000 franchisees worldwide.)
The Adidas Wall provides a brick-and-mortar interface for today's plugged-in digital shopper, who is comfortable researching and making purchases online or via mobile device. That was the initial intent, but at the same time, the wall increases staff efficiency.
"We built it first from the shopper's point of view, giving them a way to take more control over their shopping journey," Aubrey explained. "The added bonus is that we can ensure that associates will spend more time on the floor offering customer service rather than looking for things in the stockroom."
To accommodate the expectations of people who shop with smartphone in hand, downloading product data and reviews, Adidas made a bold decision to give up total control of brand messaging in-store by allowing live Tweets about products to flash atop the Wall.
"We know that the consumer can get that information for themselves right there if they want, so we decided we would rather be honest and transparent instead of just promoting positive comments," Aubrey said.
While the F50 will remain the star of the wall for the near future, Adidas has bigger plans for its automated sales platform, which was created with technology from Intel's Intelligence Systems Group in Chandler, Ariz.
"The next update will contain at least 60 different models of shoe," said Aubrey, who noted that 3-D visual modeling of all styles coming off the production line has become standard practice. "Right now, the max amount of shoes you can display is 24, but that is limited only by the capacity of the hard disks and computer-processing power. The plan is for the wall to act like an endless aisle concept when it is complete and rolled out."
Adidas ultimately hopes to use the Wall to merge its e-commerce operations — where more than 2,000 shoe models are available — with store operations (stores offer only 300 models). If, for instance, a customer likes a style but not the available colors, an associate can direct her to the wall where she can explore the entire inventory.
"The challenge," Aubrey observed, "is for retail stores to remain relevant in the era of online shopping."

Dear ABA Owners,
I have one Keeper League team right now that's available to be taken over by a new owner. This is not a new expansion team but an existing team whose owner has dropped out. Right now that team is 5-11 and in line to pick somewhere between 5 and 10 in next year's draft. The roster is as follows:
Mike James
Kevin Martin
Monta Ellis
Andres Nocioni
Donyell Marshall
Travis Outlaw
Boris Diaw
Omeka Okafor
Brandon Roy
Marvin Williams
David West
Joel Pryzbilla
An extremely rough overview of the KL is this: From one season to the next, each team retains 9 players from the previous season. We have a 3-rd draft each fall with the poorest team from the previous season selecting first. Teams submit their 9-player protected lists to me about a week before the draft. We do trade over the summer, beginning whenever the NBA opens FA signings (usually around August 1) through the date for protected lists being submitted.
If you're interested, please contact me either by e-mail or PM me here. The way this works is as follows: Once I have some interested owners I submit those names to the current KL owners for a vote where they rank their preferences. Even if you're not selected at this point you may have a later opportunity if someone drops out before the start of the season.
Also, keep in mind that I'm basing this on the assumption that we can find a fantasy site with scoring similar to what sports.ws had - either with that site re-opening or another option. Based on owner comments, I highly doubt the KL will survive in its current form with a site with scoring similar to NBA.com.

Design based on Damien Hirst's 'The Last Supper' prints. Inspired by the aesthetic of pharmaceutical packaging, The Last Supper was originally a series of 13 screenprints using the names of British canteen foods as copyrighted brands. Extending his references to other works involving the medical trade, Hirst makes a comment on the widely available and familiar prevalence of drugs in modern society - indeed, as buyable as the food on our plates.
Printed on American Apparel 100% cotton t-shirt and available in Classic Girl S, M and L and Men's S, M, L and XL sizes.

Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated 'Freeze', an exhibition of his own work and that of his contemporaries at Goldsmiths college, staged in a disused London warehouse. Since this time Hirst has become widely recognised as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
Through a varied practise of installation, sculpture, painting and drawing Hirst has sought to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death. Alongside over 80 solo exhibitions he has worked on numerous curatorial projects. In 2008, Hirst took the unprecedented step of bypassing gallery involvement in selling 244 new works at a Sotheby's, London auction entitled 'Beautiful Inside My Head Forever'.
Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995 and his contribution to British art over the last two and a half decades has been acknowledged in a major solo retrospective exhibited at Tate Modern, London. He lives in Devon and has studios in Gloucester and London.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Rather than adapt existing applications to the cloud, what's increasingly evident is developers are creating a cloud-based Internet layered on top of the existing Internet.Google ( GOOG), Amazon.com ( AMZN), Facebook ( FB) and all the other neat new services that deliver custom results to you in the blink of an eye are built on cloud. Pages are created on the fly by machines. They're not built by people and then pointed to, they don't have "Web addresses" in the way we think of them. They seem untouched by human hands. Whether you're searching for individual needles in a big haystack of data or seeking relationships within the haystack or trying to address huge numbers of mobile users within a small geography, the cloud world is materially different from the World Wide Web as first envisioned by Tim Berners-Lee. So how do you do "customer service" in this world? This, it turned out, was the topic of the "cloud chat" I was asked to do for IBM ( IBM) Thursday. It wasn't about cloud developers but about cloud customers, cloud users. What do you do when the cloud doesn't seem to have the droid you're looking for? I've had that problem myself, specifically at Amazon. Someone paid me roughly $30 last year for something they bought there, and I've been trying to track down what it was for tax purposes. This is where things break down. I've moved my email to the cloud because I no longer have time to filter out the spam, semi-spam and demi-spam filling my old PC inbox. Amazon didn't have the new address in its files, so its bots didn't know how to help me. Someone could have probably looked up the transaction record from the tax form sent to me but how do you find that someone? The technologies we use for customer service simply don't scale to cloud, because people don't scale to cloud. I tried email with Amazon but other companies have tried live operators, or live operators behind chat lines, and they've all failed. IBM itself sees some hope in tweeting, which was what our conference was really all about, but that seems just as unlikely to work.

As I got older, I expected to experience a certain amount of joint pain. But, my knees began to limit my most enjoyable activties. Being a grandmother of three very active young grandchildren can be an athletic experience, and I began looking at surgical options to alleviate my knee pain.
Luckily, I decided to try ArthFree by Fitness Labs after it was highly recommended by a close family friend. After only one month of taking it on a daily basis, I am again enjoying active time with my grandchildren, working out at my local gym, and moving about much more freely.
A friend recently asked me how I move about so quickly. She's now taking ArthFree too!

Good news, TVWW readers: David's new book from Doubleday, The Platinum Age of Television: From I Love Lucy to The Walking Dead, How TV Became Terrific is now available in paperback for under $15. Doubleday says: "Darwin had his theory of evolution, and David Bianculli has his. Bianculli's theory has to do with the concept of quality television: what it is and, crucially, how it got that way."
"The Platinum Age of Television is an effusive guidebook that plots the path from the 1950s' Golden Age to today's era of quality TV. For instance, animation evolved from Rocky and His Friends to South Park; variety shows moved from The Ed Sullivan Show to Saturday Night Live; and family sitcoms grew from I Love Lucy to Modern Family. Interviews with Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Norman Lear, Bob Newhart, Matt Groening, Larry David, Amy Schumer are high points... Bianculli has written a highly readable history." —The Washington Post

Crean, for the love of god, sub Hulls in for Verdell. WHITE OUT!!!!
Verdell's shot selection is lulz.
Watford is so friggin lazy out there.
Our defense in general is lazy. I don't know what happened to our D from early in the season, but it's really bad right now.
Zeller is abusing these turkies.
Indiana come the **** on. Learn to put these teams away for the love of ****.
Hulls' play really hurting IU lately. If he's not hitting threes, he's useless out there.
Mother. ****er. If we lose tonight's game, I am going to need to take a few Hoosier games off. I am far too irritated with this ****tard basketball to further subject myself to it.
What the hell is wrong with Watford?
I would say the same about Verdell, but he's always been bad.
This team is definitely in a funk right now. We're nearing panic mode.
I got two more. The good thing is: I don't need them at my new apartment. They are too high. I'm amazed I haven't shattered one of those puppies during this fiasco, actually.
If we lose this game, we don't deserve to be ranked any longer. This and the Minny loss would basically undo the UK and OSU wins.
Oh, Hulls, great timing to miss a freebie you ****ing ****head.
Our play last few games has been embarrassing.
**** **** **** **** ****
It's officially time to panic.
Damn Hulls almost threw that in.
This team should not be ranked. That is a terrible, terrible loss. I don't know what the hell Tom Crean is doing, but his team looks like it doesn't even want to play basketball. Something has to change, radically. This does not look like a tourney team.
This loss is like us beating them in football... it should never happen.
What is wrong with these guys? They aren't playing Hoosiers basketball.. they keep playing how the other team wants to play.
There's our coach of the year not calling a ****ING TIMEOUT WHEN HE HAD TWO LEFT!!!!!! YOU ****ING ****** CREAN WHAT THE **** WERE YOU THINKING YOU **********G DUMB***. GO GET ANOTHER SPRAY TAN YOU ******.
I can't express how pathetic Watford has been. His statline tonight is a bit misleading; Nebraska didn't even attempt to board on a few occasions, electing to get back on defense instead. He looks like he has zero interest in doing anything, doesn't want the ball in his hands.
This status quo **** has to stop. No more starting the same 5 guys who collectively can't offer a focused effort. Play Abell over VJ3. I don't know, but Crean has to do something. Because his status quo ain't working. This team hasn't just lost three in a row, it's looked worse with every loss.

Iannetta seeing bulk of playing time behind plate
BOSTON -- Angels catcher Chris Iannetta is having a solid offensive season, and now Hank Conger -- with just two hits since July 22 -- finds himself on the bench most nights.
The two have been in a timeshare for most of the season, with the right-handed-hitting Iannetta starting against lefties and the switch-hitting Conger starting against most righties. But Conger has started only six of 17 games this month, and has sat each of the last two games against opposing Red Sox right-handers.
"Chris is playing well, catching well," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Iannetta, who's second only to Mike Trout in-base percentage on the club and delivered the go-ahead RBI double in Tuesday's 4-3 win. "He's certainly earned the playing time."
But Conger also knows he needs to get things right in the batter's box.
With only a couple of hits in his last 31 at-bats, he's dropped his slash line to .219/.288/.323.
"It's just a matter of having a good, consistent swing path," Conger said. "That's really been the most important thing. As long as I can keep that, I think I'll be fine."
