Jim Doyle has denied his decision to quit his position as chief operating officer has anything to do with the recent mass exodus of staff at the NRL.
Doyle will become the latest employee to walk out of Rugby League Central's fast-spinning revolving door at the end of this year to take up the chief executive role at the Warriors.
The Scottish-born former electrician, who became a multi-millionaire in 2008 when he sold the Navman GPS company, before becoming CEO of the New Zealand Rugby League in 2009, was NRL chief Dave Smith's first major recruit along with head of football Todd Greenberg last year.
He was given responsibility for setting up the NRL integrity unit following the announcement of the ASADA investigation and also the revamping of the salary cap.
Doyle will be the fifth major departure from the NRL since the turn of the year with vastly experienced head of communications John Brady and long-standing media managers David Taylor and Tracie Edmondson.
Former head of strategy Shane Mattiske, who occupied the interim CEO position after David Gallop's shock exit in June 2012 and oversaw the billion-dollar TV deal, also resigned two months ago following long-time salary cap auditor Ian Schubert out the door.
However, the highly respected Doyle is the first member of Smith's inner sanctum to walk away, but he denies any problems with Smith's regime and insists his decision to leave is entirely down to family reasons.
"This is a great place to work; it's been very enjoyable," Doyle said.
"Dave Smith is making a massive difference to the game and taking it in the right direction.
"But I knew when I came, it would be a short-term thing ... two or three years.
"My daughters are still in New Zealand and, although I don't have a strong Kiwi accent, New Zealand is home for me.
"Dave is the smartest guy I have worked with. To be part of where he is taking the game, along with the rest of the executive team, has been a great experience."
Doyle will replace Wayne Scurrah at the Warriors next season and said it was an offer he couldn't refuse.
"I want to stay in the game and, when the Warriors approached me, it was an opportunity for that to happen," he said.
"I can assure you if I had come here from Scotland, I wouldn't be going back."

A man was killed in a solo vehicle crash near Inglewood Avenue and the San Diego (405) Freeway in Redondo Beach, authorities said Sunday.
County Coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie identified the driver as 36-year-old Juan Hernandez of Wilmington. She said an autopsy had not yet been completed.
The crash occurred at 11:58 p.m. Saturday on the Inglewood Avenue on-ramp to the northbound 405 Freeway, California Highway Patrol Officer Anthony Martin said. The driver, who was alone in a Honda, hit a tree, he said.
Martin said he didn't know what caused Hernandez to crash and that the accident was still under investigation.
The CHP was contacted by a caller who saw his car facing the wrong way, he added.
A City News Service report said people at the scene tried to use CPR to revive the driver, who was reportedly in a four-door sedan. The car struck the tree on the driver's side door, the report said.

Here's what's coming in the aftermath of Indiana's 77-73 loss at Minnesota — the Hoosiers' regular-season-ending game at Michigan will almost certainly determine the Big Ten champ.
But first, take a deep breath.
The Big Ten is too strong, the depth too impressive, for any team to run away with the title, certainly not in this parity-rich era.
IU (24-4) has a 12-3 conference record, which gives it, in essence, a one-game lead over Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin. It has three games left — Iowa and Ohio State at home, Michigan on the road.
The Hoosiers will not lose at Assembly Hall. Ain't gonna happen. Not with these stakes. Not with that crowd.
So it will come down to Ann Arbor and the last game.
That's how it should be.
Yes, it all depends on what Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin do in their remaining games, but IU can't count on that. It controls its destiny if it wins out. It still can get a No. 1 NCAA tourney seed.
"The bottom line in lie is you control what happens to you," associate head coach Steve McClain told radio announcer Don Fischer on Tuesday night's post-game show. "You've done what you wanted to do. We put ourselves in position to control it. We have to get ready to do that."
So what happened at Minnesota?
Toughness, effort, tenacity and passion. The previously struggling Gophers had all of that, and it showed in rebounding (a 44-30 edge), second-chance points (21-8) and points in the paint (40-22).
IU coach Tom Crean had spent the week off since the Michigan State victory preaching the importance of rebounding at Williams Arena.
The players heard, but didn't deliver.
"When you go on the road," McClain said, "the offense may not come, but your rebounding and defense have to come."
Make no mistake. Minnesota (19-9, 7-8) earned this marquee victory to almost certainly clinch a NCAA tourney bid.
Cody Zeller's Big Ten's best big man rep got shredded by Minnesota's Trevor Mbakwe, who played as physical as you can without wearing an Ironman suit. He had 21 points, 12 rebounds, a block and a steal in his be-more-man-than-Zeller effort. All Zeller could muster was nine points (on 2-for-9 shooting), five rebounds and four turnovers before fouling out.
The surprising mismatch provides a motivational button coach Tom Crean will push hard the rest of the season.
Bottom line — IU can't win the Big Ten championship, let alone a national title, if Zeller gets muscled into irrelevance, and the opposition rules the paint.
"We knew we were facing a desperate team," McClain said, "and they played like a desperate team. (Mbakwe) gave them a big lift."
Crean was right. This was not the Minnesota team that stumbled its way to four losses in five games. The Gophers were aggressive, physical and relentless — right from the start. They blasted ahead 8-2 to ignite a roaring Williams Arena crowd.
The Hoosiers didn't blink. Jordan Hulls blasted them back for a 20-16 lead. He hit shots from different zip codes with a release quicker than a blink to score a team-high 17 points.
Thirteen minutes produced a 27-27 tie. The Hoosiers won the last seven minutes 7-4 for a 34-30 halftime advantage.
Given Minnesota had basically wiped out a 23-point halftime deficit at Assembly Hall last month, that lead wasn't close to reassuring.
But then, it never is on the Big Ten road.
Still, you figured Zeller, Christian Watford and Yogi Ferrell wouldn't duplicate their 0-for-11 first-half shooting.
You figured right.
The problem — Minnesota ruled the paint, and then the game.
So now Indiana gets Iowa (17-10) on Saturday and it can't afford a second upset. It handled the Hawkeyes at Carver Hawkeye Arena. There's no reason why it can't handle them at Assembly Hall.
"We'll face a very good Iowa team," McClain told Fischer. "We'll get home to our fans and to our building. We need an unbelievable effort out of everybody."
The margin for error is gone. The opportunity is not.

Monster Diesel VEKTR on-ears get new Military Green, Chrome color options
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, CES, CES 2013, Design, Music
Monster announced some new additions to its Diesel VEKTR on-ear headphone line at CES 2013. Being the fashion brand that Diesel is, you can expect a couple of new colors to be added. First, the matte-finish Military Green with gun metal accents. If that's not your thing, there's also the new Chrome VEKTR, with it's eye-catching mirror finish. Both new models will sell for $279.95 when they go on sale later this Spring. If you're looking for something for traditional, a white model just went on sale for $269.95. All of these are in addition to the black Diesel VEKTR that launched last year.

That's not to say the Colts can't find an impact player with the No.24 pick in the first round. A list of players taken by teams with the No.24 pick since 2002 includes Ed Reed, Dallas Clark (Colts, 2003), Steven Jackson, Aaron Rodgers and Chris Johnson. Stars can be had at No.24.
But the Colts' picks after that – Nos. 86 (third round), 121 (fourth), 192 (sixth), 230 (seventh) and another Mr. Irrelevant at 254 (seventh) – will be players who can develop into contributors and starters.
As the Colts pointed out this week, 23 players on their current roster came through the draft, including 20 from the last four drafts. The oldest three: Antoine Bethea, sixth round, 2006; Robert Mathis, fifth round, 2003; and Reggie Wayne, first round, 2001.
Here are some other interesting draft-related tidbits, courtesy of the Colts media relations department:
* Two Colts picks were traded last year. Their second-round pick went to Miami in exchange for Vontae Davis. Their fifth-round pick went to San Francisco for the rights to the third-round spot that landed T.Y. Hilton.
* This will mark the fifth Mr. Irrelevant drafted by the Colts dating to their Baltimore years. The others: quarterback Chandler Harnish (2012), offensive tackle Tom Carr (1966), quarterback George Haffner (1965) and fullback Blair Weese (1959).
* Former Colts left tackle Tarik Glenn will announce the Colts' third-round pick this season.
* Since moving to Indianapolis in 1984, the Colts have drafted 132 defensive players, 124 offensive players and six specialists.
* The most-popular position pick by the Colts in Indianapolis is linebacker (35 picks), followed by wide receiver (26).
* Twelve first-round Colts picks since 1984 have appeared in the Pro Bowl: Ron Solt, Duane Bickett, Marshall Faulk, Marvin Harrison, Tarik Glenn, Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai and Andrew Luck.
* The Colts have taken 10 players from Penn State, nine from Illinois and seven from Georgia and Notre Dame.
* Notre Dame players picked by the Colts: Dean Brown (1990), Anthony Johnson (1990), Rodney Culver (1992), Devon McDonald (1993), John Covington (1994), Bertrand Berry (1997) and Hunter Smith (1999).
* Purdue players picked by the Colts: Chris Scott (1984), Don Anderson (1985), Gilbert Gardner (2004) and Curtis Painter (2009).
* Indiana players picked by the Colts: Ray Fisher (2010).

JERUSALEM, Dec. 16 (JTA) — Rising unemployment in Israel has brought warnings that a "social explosion" is imminent. The predictions were borne out Tuesday, when laid-off workers took part in violent protests in the southern development town of Ofakim. The protests took place one day after official figures showed a 1.2 percent rise in unemployment in November. The statistics, which indicated that 151,600 Israelis were out of work, put unemployment at its highest levels in five years. The unemployment figures indicated that 15 towns and settlements have more than 10 percent unemployment rates, and that development towns in the Negev have been particularly hard-hit. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed an emergency team to look into the matter of rising unemployment. In the Knesset, the opposition Meretz faction introduced a motion of no-confidence in the prime minister over the economic picture.

Palo Alto and Stanford University received $10 million Tuesday to expand recreational offerings for Peninsula residents.
The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to award that sum in response to a proposal submitted by the city and university. The funds will be drawn from a $10.4 million payment Stanford made to offset impacts to recreational facilities caused by on-campus development.
Two projects will receive the lion's share of the funding. Supervisors allocated $4.5 million for a perimeter trail around Stanford and $4 million for a bicycle and pedestrian bridge where Adobe Creek crosses Highway 101 in Palo Alto.
The city also received $1.5 million to help build a bicycle and pedestrian pathway along Matadero Creek.
"This proposal will greatly expand recreational opportunities for Stanford residents and facility users as well as Palo Altans and Santa Clara County residents as a whole," said Palo Alto Council Member Sid Espinosa.
"One of my favorite aspects is that we'll have the long-sought, uninterrupted route from the Bay all the way up to the Skyline ridge."
The board allocated the rest of the money — roughly $400,000 — to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the Dumbarton link of the Bay Trail near East Palo Alto.
Those projects were among a total of 15 submitted by six agencies for funding consideration.
The $10.4 million is a product of an agreement the university struck with the county for permission to expand by 5 million square feet in 2000. The money was initially set aside to rebuild a trail along Alpine Road, between Portola Valley and Menlo Park, in San Mateo County.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, however, rejected the offer, and the money returned to Santa Clara County earlier this year.
Although the vote was unanimous Tuesday, there was initial disagreement among the supervisors about which projects to fund.
Supervisor Liz Kniss wasn't in favor of funding the entire perimeter trail, specifically a section along Stanford Avenue that would eliminate 20 parking spaces for the popular Dish trail.
"This is in my district. I know how popular this area is, and I believe if we go ahead with this major change on a county road that I'm going to hear a great deal from the public or the person who sits here in January will hear a great deal from the public," said Kniss, who is wrapping up her final term on the board.
However, Stanford said it would not dedicate a permanent public easement along the perimeter trail without full funding.
"The dedication of public use, to me, is very, very important," said Supervisor Mike Wasserman.
Wasserman also said the projects ultimately supported by the board represented the best bang for the buck.
"If you have limited dollars, it's kind of nice to spend money on (projects) that provide a benefit for the most number of people," the supervisor said. "That has some merit with me."
To appease some of Kniss' concerns, the board agreed to require Stanford to hold at least two public meetings on the perimeter trail.
Supervisor David Cortese also expressed reservations about the funding decision. Along with Kniss, he wanted to allocate $2.1 million for the Dumbarton link of the Bay Trail. It would complete a 26-mile segment, stretching from Redwood City to Alviso, which lies in Cortese's district.
He said the board was passing up an opportunity to significantly expand recreational facilities in an area that has precious few.
"This is really a great case study for a political science class — maybe at Stanford, maybe at San Jose State — on why East Palo Alto continues to be East Palo Alto, why Alviso continues to be Alviso, and why we can't pick up 60 miles of Bay Trail when we have the opportunity," Cortese said.
"It's all good, but it's certainly a classic case of the rich get richer and the poor stay where they're at."

After minimal discussion and even less public comment, the Ukiah City Council Wednesday unanimously approved a plan to have the Ukiah Fire Department stop providing ambulance services.
"We're spending more money than we have," Public Safety Director/Ukiah Police Chief Chris Dewey said, explaining that the city has been losing an average of $200,000 a year for the past 10 years, and the $250,000 loss anticipated this year "doesn't include the overtime we'll be paying."
The city is paying a large amount of overtime to the nine healthy members of the UFD, given that two of the 12 positions are vacant and one staff member is on extended leave due to an injury.
Rather than continuing to provide ambulance service and hospital transportation, Dewey is recommending that the city respond only with paramedics on a fire engine, which he said has the same life-saving equipment as an ambulance.
"I'm not suggesting at all that we get out of the ALS paramedic service -- that's really important for our community," Dewey said.
Dewey requested permission to give the Coastal Valleys Emergency Medical Services Agency, which oversees ambulance services for Mendocino and Sonoma counties, 60-day notice that it intends to "stop providing Primary 911 Advanced Life Support (ALS) Ambulance Services."
Dewey said one of the concerns brought up during a workshop in October was "what kind of ambulance service would be provided to our community if we move forward with this plan," and Dewey asked two representatives from the agency to speak to that.
The representatives said that because both Ukiah Ambulance and VeriHealth are serving the Ukiah Valley, as well as the UFD, "we have an abundance of (ambulance) resources in Ukiah currently."
Paramedics provide ALS services, which include administering medication, and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide Basic Life Support services, such as bandaging wounds and administering CPR. The system Dewey is proposing would have six people, a mix of paramedics and EMTs, responding to calls in the city and valley.
Council member Mari Rodin said right now, four paramedics are responding to calls in the City of Ukiah, so "if we go to this new system, are we reducing the level of care?"
The agency representatives gave the example of a patient in an emergency room who is being treated by a doctor assisted by nurses and techs, "and that having four doctors instead of one (aided by nurses and techs) wouldn't necessarily give you better care."
In the past when the idea of ending the ambulance service was discussed, several members of the public spoke out against the plan. At this meeting, only one person spoke in support of it.
"My advice is to take it from the chief himself," said J.R. Rose. "I hope you really take their recommendation to heart."
"Despite the many rational reasons why we should move forward, it is emotional and difficult to give up the sense of security having an ambulance right here in the city provided," Rodin said, adding that she would support the plan.
The council then voted unanimously to allow Dewey to move forward with it.

Of course I'm going to leave Tyler out, and even more so when you look at his 4m salary option for next year with a 7m cap hold till he's signed. He's done after this year.
And it's nice to load up on depth, but you can only have so many 1.5m Pendergraphs on the team. With 1m to Plumlee also and Tyler already mentioned that's a lot of money for what should really just be 1 guy at 1-2m. 5.5 and you don't know that any of them are going to produce enough to warrant 500+ minutes this year, barring injury. I guess I don't mind Pendy at that price, but scrub big foul machine rebounder hustler describes a lot of dudes out of business right now that can be picked up as needed.
And I hate to say it, but it also points out the limits of having a 14m guy that can only go 30 minutes a night. You've got to pay to cover those other 18 minutes. It's really on his shoulders this year because either his money is going to buy a guy that can carry the team a little bit or they are in big trouble with not a lot of wiggle room sans a full punt at .75 on the dollar.

RICHMOND — On the last day of his life, Lincoln Plair received a small paycheck and a promotion. Then he went about doing what he always did, one of his friends said.
He attended to the business of helping.
Plair meticulously cleaned the sand boxes at the Elm Playlot in the heart of Richmond's Iron Triangle, clearing it of syringes, glass and other debris in time for the children at nearby Peres Elementary School to play there.
Then, he'd hop on his bike and travel around the Triangle, mowing lawns, often for free. When he was done with that, he'd travel home and take care of his grandfather.
"This," said Plair's boss and friend Toody Maher, "was one of the great spirits in our community."
It was that spirit that appears to have put Plair in the wrong place at the wrong time Monday. He was mowing lawns in the 600 block of Sixth Street about 3:30 p.m. when he was shot several times in the torso, Richmond Police Det. Nicole Abetkov said. The 21-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
It was Richmond's second homicide of the year.
Maher, the founder and director of Pogo Park, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rebuilding the Elm Playlot, said Plair came to the organization just over a year ago. On Monday morning, she gave him a key to additional tool sheds at the park, a promotion signifying additional responsibility.
He accepted it happily, she said.
"In the Iron Triangle, everybody knows everybody, and everybody knew Lincoln as a peaceful and gentle man who did everything he could to stay out of harm's way," Maher said. "He had this incredible goodness and desire to give."
Abetkov said police had no new updates on the investigation. Witnesses told police more than one person approached Plair as he worked in the yard and said two to four men were spotted running from the scene, Abetkov said.
"The whole community is just a wreck," Maher said. "Words can't describe the loss the children will feel. Shooting Lincoln was like shooting a child himself. We're devastated."
Maher said a memorial gathering will take place outside the park at Eighth and Elm streets at 6 p.m. Saturday to honor Plair. She said she expects a big turnout for a man who "brought a lot of happiness to the people who came into contact with him."
The killing was the city's second in 2013, down from five at this time last year. The first homicide of 2013 was Feb. 4, when police discovered William Wheeler, 26, shot dead about 3 a.m. at Lucas Park and Playground, just a few blocks east of Monday's slaying.

Friday's Central Coast Section Division II football quarterfinal game pitting St. Francis High – an A-league team – against C-leaguer Andrew Hill went just about as expected.
A versus C equaled B – as in blowout.
The top-seeded Lancers routed the No. 8 Falcons 41-6 in a game that went to a running clock in the fourth quarter. Host St. Francis led 34-0 at halftime and played its starters sparingly the rest of the way.
"It went well," Lancers coach Greg Calcagno said. "We did what we're supposed to do, which is move on to the next round."
Friday's semifinal game – scheduled 7 p.m. at St. Francis – probably won't be as easy.
The Lancers (8-3) face No. 5 Palo Alto (6-5) and Stanford University-bound quarterback Keller Chryst. The senior threw for five touchdowns in the Vikings' 54-24 spanking of No. 4 Leland Saturday.
St. Francis quarterback Will Fischer-Colbrie didn't need to throw much in Friday's win over Andrew Hill (8-3). He attempted seven passes and completed three – two of them for touchdowns.
The first came on a 30-yard floater to a streaking Trillion Hebert in the final seconds of the opening quarter, pushing the Lancers' lead to 14-0 after Patrick Fordham's extra point. On St. Francis' last possession of the half, Fischer-Colbrie fired an 18-yard pass into the end zone to Ryan Johnson before taking a hit.
"He can certainly throw it," Calcagno said of his quarterback, a transfer from Mountain View High. "It's nice that we're able to do both – run and pass."
The run game remains the focal point of the offense, however. The Lancers rushed for 251 yards on 26 carries Friday for a robust average of 9.7 yards per attempt.
Halfback Landon Baty led the ground attack with 106 yards on only four carries, with two of them resulting in touchdowns. After scoring St. Francis' first points of the night on a 9-yard burst to the right side, the senior scampered 68 yards up the middle for a TD early in the second quarter. Fordham's extra point pushed the lead to 21-0 and the rout was on.
"We were hoping to be able to run the football – we're a pretty physical team – and we did," Calcagno said. "If we can't run it, we're in trouble."
The only trouble the Lancers experienced Friday involved ball security. St. Francis fumbled six times – losing three of them.
The Falcons lost a fumble as well and threw three interceptions. Safety Riley Quinn picked off the first pass, leaping in the air to tip and then haul in Alex Moreno's errant throw late in the first quarter.
The St. Francis defense limited Andrew Hill to just 168 yards of offense. The Falcons converted only three of their 12 third-down plays.
"That's what we pride ourselves on – our ability to play defense," Calcagno said. "That's our No. 1 priority and we focus on that all year. If we play good defense and they don't score a lot, it makes it a lot easier on offense."

Martin gains US residency in midst of strong spring
MESA, Ariz. -- These are heady times for outfielder Leonys Martin. He has gained he US residency, and he is going to be with the Rangers on Opening Day after playing well so far this spring.
Martin returned from Miami on Tuesday, one day after receiving residency in the Unites Sates. Martin is a native of Cuba but left that country in 2010. He had family and friends with him at the ceremony. Due to some confusion, it was initially thought that Martin had gained US citizenship.
"I'm very happy," Martin said. "This gives me piece of mind. I'm so glad it worked out."
Baseball is also working out for Martin. He went into Tuesday's game with the Cubs hitting .359 (14-for-39) for the spring with two doubles, two triples and seven RBIs. He has also played well defensively, and the Rangers are preparing to open the season with him as one of their center fielders.
Right now it appears as if Martin will share the job with Craig Gentry, who has also had a good spring. But Martin has shown enough to prove to doubters that he is ready for the big leagues.
"We're going to have some trials and tribulations," manager Ron Washington said. "But as we move through the season, we expect him to become a consistent professional just like everybody else. He's getting better but he has to keep working, because he doesn't have anything figured out and we're going to make sure he doesn't start thinking he has everything figured out. He's going to become a professional under my watch."
Martin, who signed with the Rangers on May 4, 2011, has played in 24 games for the Rangers over parts of the past two seasons, hitting .204 (11-for-54) with six doubles, two triples and three stolen bases.
He has played in 128 Minor League games, hitting .323 with 101 runs scored, 34 doubles, seven triples, 16 home runs and 84 RBIs. He also has 29 stolen bases, a .388 on-base percentage and a .503 slugging percentage.

Topic: My Update
Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted for awhile regarding what I am going through but I think now is the time to do so. I was on vacation last week with family in North Myrtle Beach, SC. I had a good time but started experiencing more abdominal, liver and back pain. Luckily, I had my oxycodone with me and it helped. Just sad for me that I had to start taking the pain med on a daily basis. Also, my hair started coming out - almost completely bald - but I've chosen, at this time, not to shave the rest. I'm wearing hats when outside. Sorry for telling the story out of sequence but I started Paclitaxel on 7/12, had it again on 7/19 - thus the hair loss. I got some time off to go on vacation with family and will start back on the Paclitaxel 8/9. I'm not sure what the cause of the increased pain is but it has me worried. I can't wait to talk to the doctor on Friday. Also, to backtrack, I had five SBRT treatments in May and the doctor has told me that it could still be working and causing lower abdominal pain due to inflammation. I can't wait for my next CT scan which will probably be in September. Not sure how long I'll be on the Paclitaxel. The doctor said if its shows signs of working, and she has seen success with it, then she'll keep me on it as long as my counts don't go too low. There are other options the doctor has for me. They actually took my biopsy specimen from August 2011 and are doing some kind of gene mutation - not sure if I have this all accurate but it something with targeting my specific DNA with certain chemo to see what works best for me.
Sorry for going on so long but I really felt the need to tell my story. This past week I really felt that I was losing hope but I didn't want my family to know. Sometimes it's hard to let them know how I really feel. I don't want them to worry about me. I feel bad that I'm putting them through this. They've been through so much with me, especially the last few months with so many hospital stays for having the stent put in then fevers and infections - luckily not related to the stent. I had a fungus infection in my blood and biliary system which took a few weeks to clear up.
Again, thank you for letting me go on. I feel better just telling my feelings to you.

MORELIA, Mexico — Avocados from Mexico took the opportunity of the Morelia en Boca food festival and exposition to introduce some foodservice professionals from the U.S. to new usage ideas for the fruit.
The Avocados from Mexico booth was one of 50 exhibitors showing off 100 products, said Ruben Hernandez, communications coordinator for Morelia en Boca, which emphasizes food products from Mexico's Michoacan state.
About 3,000 attendees showed up for the event May 24-26, Hernandez said.
Jackie Bohmer, marketing director for the Mexican Hass Avocados Importers Association, said the expo serves as a good venue to promote one of Michoacan's leading agricultural products.
In conjunction with the show, Avocados from Mexico enlisted chef Iliana de la Vega, owner of El Naranja restaurant in Austin, Texas, for an interactive cooking and food preparation demonstration of how avocados can be paired with traditional Mexican dishes and seasonings.
De la Vega — a native of Oaxaca, Mexico, and founding member of the Culinary Institute of America's Latin Cuisines Advisory Council — walked executive chefs and menu development directors from Dallas-based Brinker International, Wheat Ridge, Colo.-based Qdoba Restaurant Corp., Omni Hotels, and Atlanta-based Taco Mac through preparing dishes such as ceviche verde and avocado flan.
Avocados from Mexico also sponsored group dinners at restaurants San Miguelitos, Restaurant Mirasoles, La Mesa de Blanco and Lu Cocina Michoacana, as well as local cuisines sampled during a tour of Pátzcuaro near Morelia.
Food writers from websites www.thegastrognome.com, www.foodarts.com and www.popsugar.com also took part in the tours.

Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod Anti Aging Triple Response System Reviews
The product needs more improvementI recently finished my first box. I loved the idea. It was easy to use and created no mess. I felt my eyes became a bit smoother, but no difference in reducing wrinkles. When I squeezed the pod, the cream filled the sponge too much, more than I needed. I felt that I was wasting. When I dabbed the cream around the eye area with the sponge, I felt uncomfortable. The sponge applicator needed to be so...read morefter and more gentle. My eyes became hydrated, but a good eye cream would give the same or better performance. I would not spend $$$ on something that I feel wasting and uncomforable. — 9 years, 2 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

go slow!if you get all excited and rub the pod around too fast youll fully scratch your eye with the edge of the plastic disc. other than that theyre really nice, especially b/c you dont have to do it everyday! i saw a good improvment in the moisture level in the skin around my eyes, and b/c the pods are sooo generously filled i always put a little on my forehead too! feels good, seems to be helping, olay is a trustworthy brand too, so id totally reccomend you to try it! — 9 years, 4 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews

Waste Of My Money!This product was both a waste of my time and money! As, it irritated the skin around my eyes. And,it did nothing to make my eye area look firmer or rejuvenated. — 9 years, 8 months agoReservechic | 269 reviews
Derm's RecommendationI used these prior to using my derm's choice of eye cream. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't find them scratchy, but I couldn't tell a big difference with the "crinkles" around my eyes. My derm has recommended Olay Regenerist products for a couple of years. She thought they were the best buy on the market. — 9 years, 5 months agogirlwomanbeautybrainsblog | 232 reviews

How Cute!I love these little applicators. They're adorable! You just have to be careful not to poke your eye out. But, I totally think they're worth trying, at least once. I wish more skin care products came with an application process like this one. — 5 years, 7 months agoshandimessmer | 91 reviews
Delivery system is a bit rough.The concept is great and easy to use but I found the sponge at the end too scratchy and rough for the skin around my eyes. Instead, I squeeze the reservoir and then dab it on with my finger tips. Cheaper just to buy their eye serum since the pods contain more product then needed but it is wasted because 1. you contaminate the pod by touching it so it isn't a good idea to save it and 2. the product dries out on the sponge over the next day. — 6 years, 5 months agobhfreebh | 20 reviews
It worked for me!!! Love it!!!I've been trying so many eye creams and finally found one that really works. I work long hours so I put it on in the early morning and it lasts up to 12 hours to relieve puffiness and hide the fine lines under my eyes. If I'm going out at night it makes my eyes look brighter and younger. I will continue to use this product over any other. — 6 years agomary046 | 1 reviews

Reyes given day to rest after 19-inning effort
SEATTLE -- The Blue Jays' 19-inning marathon victory over the Tigers on Sunday afternoon took its toll on everyone, but manager John Gibbons wants to make sure it doesn't cause any long-term issues with shortstop Jose Reyes.
Reyes was given the day off Monday night in Seattle after he played all 19 innings on AstroTurf the day before. Infielder Munenori Kawasaki got a rare start at shortstop in Reyes' absence.
Toronto has been monitoring the health of Reyes' hamstrings and shoulder all season, but this decision didn't have anything to do with an injury. It was all about preventing one.
"I think he needs a day off," Gibbons said prior to the game. "He's a little beat up, 19 innings. He's not real happy about it, but I think he needs it. ... We need him strong. Like I said, he's not real happy about it, but it's an executive decision."
Reyes had four hits and drove in the tying run during the ninth inning of Sunday's improbable victory. He currently has a four-game hit streak and is batting .330 (33-for-100) with five extra-base hits, five stolen bases and a .764 OPS since the All-Star break.
"We had a couple of conversations, me and Gibby, I didn't want the day off," Reyes said. "At the end of the day, it's going to be good for me, for my body, to rest.
"I'm OK. As a baseball player, you're always going to be sore. You're never going to be 100 percent, you're always going to have something. But I'm good enough to play baseball, it is what it is."

|Assigned Interventions
Open Label
Approximately 25 healthy volunteers will be recruited as controls, and approximately 500 patients with suspected coronary artery disease be recruited. Scan will be done with regadenoson contrast.
Drug: regadenoson
Subjects in open label group will be given a single dose of regadenoson (0.4 mg, i.e. 5 ml i.v. bolus) as contrast.
Other Name: Lexiscan
Detailed Description:
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Currently, the presence of physiologically significant coronary disease is most commonly diagnosed using non-invasive imaging tests such as a nuclear stress test or an echo stress test. Unfortunately, nuclear stress tests require the use of ionizing radiation and have a limited spatial resolution. On the other hand, echo stress tests are dependent of adequate imaging windows. Adenosine stress testing combined with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a rapidly evolving technique for diagnosing significant coronary disease. It does not use ionizing radiation and has excellent image quality. In a recent meta-analysis of 14 studies with a total of 1,183 patients, the sensitivity and specificity of stress CMR for detecting significant coronary disease was 91% and 81%. Additionally, 2 studies have shown that patients with a normal stress CMR study have a <1% risk of having a cardiovascular event during the ensuing year. Another important advantage to stress CMR is the ability to fully quantify myocardial blood flow which may improve the diagnostic accuracy of stress CMR. In addition to perfusion imaging, CMR can directly visualize the coronary arteries, detect extremely small myocardial infarctions, and precisely measure the left ventricular function.
Although adenosine stress CMR is a rapidly maturing test, several important challenges exist. First, many patients find it difficult to tolerate the common side effects of adenosine in the confined space of the MRI scanner. Secondly, many patients under the influence of adenosine and its side effects cannot adequately hold their breath during image acquisition making image interpretation more difficult and quantitative analysis very time consuming. Finally, because adenosine must be continuously infused during a contrast-enhanced stress CMR, 2 separate intravenous (I.V.) catheters are needed. Most of the undesirable effects of adenosine are mediated through the adenosine A(2B) and A(3) receptors; where as, its desired vasodilator effects are mediated through the A(2A) receptor. The FDA recently approved an adenosine A(2A) receptor specific stress testing agent called regadenoson which is administered as a 10 second bolus and has an improved side effect and safety profile when compared to adenosine. With its improved tolerability and ease of use, regadenoson is a more ideal stress testing agent to use with CMR.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a comprehensive regadenoson stress cardiac magnetic resonance study which includes myocardial perfusion imaging, optimized coronary imaging, and myocardial scar imaging provides incremental prognostic information over a clinical evaluation that includes nuclear stress testing.

DORSET & Wilts coach Neil Loader believes his young players have shown enough to suggest they can form the basis of the county side for years to come.
The twin counties lost 37-18 to Berkshire at Wootton Bassett on Saturday in their first County Championship game of the season, but showed plenty of promise as the young squad came together for the first time.
Former Swindon head coach Loader, who is part of the Dorset & Wilts coaching set-up, admitted the loss puts the county side's chance of progressing out of the group stage in doubt, but he believes the players showed enough to suggest they can form the basis of the side for years to come.
"We can still do it although things are now massively difficult for us," he said.
"A lot depends on the result of the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire game because, of Berks win, we are out.
"With this group of players we can all be very excited because it's very new. We need to keep developing as a side because it's a young team with new faces.
"You can't say for sure what's going to happen in the future but these boys all put a marker in the ground to show they can be around for a few years."
Despite the loss, Loader insisted he and the rest of the coaching staff were happy with the display.
"The performance was really good and we have to be pleased with that," he said.
"The competition laws state we can use players playing up to level five and the majorities of ours came from level six with some at level seven. They had the majority of their team coming from level five.
"We defended well, although we obviously conceded a few points, but they were just bigger and more powerful for us.
"When we were able to play we did well and scored some tries and the players need to be really proud of themselves."

Where Banks Get Their Money
On Monday, I wrote about the differences in the deposits at the big four U.S. money centers: Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citibank (C). Today we'll consider the money these same institutions can access the Federal Reserve in order to meet requirements for reserves as set forth by Regulation D.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, the relationship the money centers have with the Federal Reserve has become very complex. Here is my take on the most basic and normal operating interaction of lending money to the Fed and borrowing money from it....463 more words left in this article.

I think this ad doesn't really make sense, half of it is talking about the unicorn app, and maybe 5% of the phone.. and only 0.01% of the new safe technology they ONLY mention 2 times in the whole thing! IDK to me it just seems stupid!
It just shows android fanboys being android fanboys... They're like Jehovah Witnesses.
Dude is watching a game and "closing deals with clients" on his phone when he has workstation in front of him. Who would use a phone over a computer right next to them?
Then the whole "this one is for work, this one is for home" she doesn't even say what would make the GS3 better, if it does have something that makes it easier it seems like a huge missed opportunity. I was actually curious...
OOhh AES 256 ENCRYPTED? Damn so it's super secure from people hooking your phone up to a computer... how about just being secure in general. iPhone 5 still hasn't been jail broken, that actually says a lot.
I am not sure what this commercial is hoping to prove or say. It really doesn't make sense. I don't feel any more or less compelled to own any brand of smart phone after viewing this. The whole Black Berry and iPhone reminded me of my work a while ago. We had a specific app for dispatching to calls that didn't have an iOS app ready yet, and it was company supplied. I had my own phone on the side, which was an iPhone.
But yea, good thing Samsung has money to blow on ads which don't seem to convey anything, instead of pooling it into R&D of how to copy some other companies technology.
All I got from the ad was people who like Samsung phones also like unicorns...?
Android is an open OS, it will never be as secure as iOS.

And wait what is that next to my ear in it's official Samsung flip case? I do believe it's a white GS3!!!!!!

Not only has he been playing center for them but he is starting as well.
The box scores for the last 4 games.
Part of a story from the Oregonian
In Aldridge's fourth game, McMillan moved him into the starting lineup at center in place of veteran Jamaal Magloire.
Aldridge's rise allowed McMillan to move Magloire to the second unit, producing a better balance because Zach Randolph and Magloire are similar, post-oriented players.
"It allows us to run our sets. We have a post player in our first unit, we have a post player in our second unit, and we can go to them," McMillan said.

Don't drive small businesses out
It looks as if our community may lose a small, independent business, The Milk Pail, to a very dense development that will increase crowding and traffic.
The change in zoning that would allow this would happen in the name of "smart growth." According to "smart growth" advocates, we would preserve rural land by making the Bay Area more crowded and polluted.
This is not realistic. If someone owns land in a rural area and that land can be built on, then he or she will develop that land if and when he or she chooses.
The United States constitutes roughly 5 percent of the world population, yet we consume at least 25 percent of the world's resources. We do not need any more development in the Bay Area.
I hope that Mountain View residents will rise up as the "No on Measure D" Palo Altans did, to stop this terrible zoning change.

Call issued to help wounded vet
I am on the board of the San Jose Travel Industry Professionals, and every December, we host a fundraising dinner. We pick a local charity to give our funds to.
When I heard about Army Sgt. Brian Jergens, I thought it was a good idea to share his story in case you would like to help.
Brian and his wife, Jennifer, both 18, had been married for a few months when she received a call that Brian, a medic, had been gravely injured when an explosive device hit his Humvee. He lost his legs and suffered brain injury, hearing loss, internal organ damage, a broken neck and severe damage to his right elbow. He was transferred to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto. It has been two years of hell for him, and when they were told that the organization Homes for Our Troops would be giving him a special adapted home Dec. 12, they were thrilled and moved to Hollister.
Last July, another miracle happened: They had a 7-pound boy, Jackson.
This young couple could use help as they are starting off with little in the way of possessions.
If anyone would like to donate a gift card, that would be great. If you want to give a check and take a tax deduction, the check should be made payable to "Homes for Our Troops, for Brian Jergens." Send donations to Maureen Jones, All Horizons Travel, 160 Main St., Los Altos 94022, Attention: Brian Jergens Fund.
Call me with any questions at 941-5810.

My friend pointed out, and rightly so, that cataloging the recipes by date didn't really mean much to someone who was looking for a certain type of recipe, once the link was added to the archives. After I had some time to think about that, I decided to add a list of included recipes each week as part of the link to that post. (Click on the archives link above if you're wondering what I'm talking about.) This person also suggested I made the South Beach Recipes of the week all be in a certain category of foods, when possible, so this week I'm sharing recipes for tasty South Beach Friendly salads that I'll bet will look appealing whether or not you care about the South Beach Diet.
That's all the South Beach friendly recipes for this time. If you're thinking about Weekend Herb Blogging, the host is Tony from Anthony's Kitchen. Send Tony your post by 3:00 on Sunday, Utah time. He'll be posting the recap sometime on Monday. Send entries to anthonysmirror AT gmail DOT com, and be sure to include the words Weekend Herb Blogging and a link to Tony's blog somewhere in your post.

text: A photo of a rare catch on a San Diego boat is sparking a lot of attention online, along with speculation of some major changes in weather in the area. In the photo, three fishermen are posing on the locally based Excel, holding a rare catch. The fish are moonfish, or opahs, and the largest one weighed in at 180 pounds. Research biologist Owyn Snodgrass talked to one of the fisherman at the dock. "He was blown away. You don't expect a catch like this. They caught a fish of a lifetime; it's a rare opportunity," said Snodgrass, a biologist at the National Marine Fisheries Service. The catch is rare because the fish live at lower depths and don't swim in schools, making them harder to catch. The fish were caught halfway through a seven-day trip, about 130 miles south of San Diego in Mexican waters. Catching one is hard enough, but three? 10News was told five fish were actually hooked before three were brought in. Some say the rarity of the catch is a sign. "There's lot of chatter of El Nino," said Snodgrass. In the past, yellowfin tuna and other migratory fish, like moonfish, follow the warm El Nino waters -- along with the food sources. Many believe this season's abundant catch off San Diego could signal El Nino. Could the photo also foretell the rains of El Nino? 10News meteorologist Megan Parry said El Nino is still expected to arrive. "The climate prediction is calling for a 70 percent chance for it to develop by the end of summer and 80 percent chance for it to develop by the fall or winter months," said Parry. Even if the area gets an El Nino, there's no guarantee that will translate into drought relief. The San Diego region sees an average of 12 inches of rain in an El Nino season, but sometimes it's a much lower amount. Snodgrass said El Nino may not be the cause of the rare catch because the boat was fishing near an underwater mountain, which can attract a large amount of fish.

The School of Unmanned Bots Prowling the Sea
This summer New York City welcomes the traveling show Fête Paradiso to Governors Island. Along with flying swings and vintage carnival games, the interactive display of attractions from late-19th and early-20th-century Paris will feature a collection of old-school carousels, including a 19th-century bicycle carousel originally built to encourage cycling. Hop on and take a ride with us through the curious history of the carousel.
Carousels date to the Middle Ages, when knights first used them as training tools for combat. It wasn't until the 19th century the carousel began to appear as an amusement ride at European carnivals and fairs. The traditional carousel consisted of rows of wooden horses hanging from poles or chains from a canopy top, all held together by a central pole (there was no bottom platform). Some early carousels were human-powered, meaning a person would rotate the entire structure using either a hand crank or pull rope. Others relied on animal power. In each case, the turning of the carousel caused its horses to fly outward like a swing ride as a result of centrifugal force. This earned them the moniker of flying-horses carousels.

Some dads get teary when they read the scene in The Story of Babar where a hunter shoots Babar's mother. Not me. I start crying a few pages later when a kindly Old Lady hands the refugee elephant a purse full of money and sends him shopping. Why do I weep? Because every sharp-dressed man needs someone like the Old Lady in his life - someone to bankroll his sartorial education; someone to teach him the fine line between stupid and Cleverley.
In addition to being my son's Old Man, I'm also trying to be his Old Lady - his Obi-Wan Kenobi. Part of my motivation is that you play the hand you're dealt. Sadly for Nicholas, age five, his dad is not gifted when it comes to sports or chess or the Moog synthesizer or magic tricks. Or any of the kind of stuff that would help him to impress his peers. Of my core competencies - drinking martinis, eating huge quantities of grilled meats and tying a tie - only the last one seems useful to pass along while he is young. I'm not the only factor in his development, though. Style is in the drinking water around our house thanks to my wife, Honor, who is the editor-in-chief, e-commerce for the designer Tory Burch. In a way, we're lucky Nicholas' first word was not "swatch".
So ever since Nicholas started walking (and my wife graciously stopped dressing him as if he were one of Velázquez's velvet-covered courtiers), I have been buying him miniature versions of the kind of thing that I would wear: gingham-checked shirts, corduroys, a tweed jacket from Hackett.
I started Nicholas out with the classics for two reasons. First off, I suspected that some day he would rebel and want to create his own looks, so the best thing that I could do was to give him a solid foundation. If he were going to be an artist, I'd want him to have mastered life drawing before he became an Abstract Expressionist. Same thing with clothes.
Secondly, I had seen the delightful results of the 'We Allow Our Son To Dress Himself' school of parenting. Cowboys, firemen, superheroes, skate punks and pirates are all noble role models, but seeing pint-sized versions during our morning walk to school makes me want to call the child welfare authorities. We have a saying in our house: "Gym clothes stay in the gym." If only the average mall shopper would follow this adage, what a beautiful world it would be.
Honor and I have been incredibly fortunate in that Nicholas has always possessed two of the essential qualities for becoming a gentleman. He is both sensitive and switched-on aesthetically. I remember one summer Saturday back when he was four. Most of his friends had vacated Manhattan for their beach houses, so in lieu of a play-date, he chose to keep me company as I shopped for a dinner party. He was the navigator and could choose the route we walked. As we neared William Greenberg's bakery, he led me off course and we were soon standing on a corner of Fifth Avenue, staring up at an apartment building as if it were some shrine. We stood there for a minute or two in silence - a man and a boy holding hands, tilting our faces skyward - until my four-year-old explained what we were looking at.
"My wife, Emily, lives here," he said. "She's in Southampton for the summer. I miss her." The simplicity and the depth of his feelings touched me. I knew then that he would grow up to have his heart broken as many times as he broke someone else's heart. He has always had the gentle part of gentleman down.
And he has always had definite opinions about style. We're in the middle of renovating our apartment, and when my wife and I jokingly asked him if he had any ideas about the décor for his new room, he told us, "I want the wallpaper from Gino's [a recently shuttered Italian restaurant where we often ate dinner as a family]." He's in good company as Gino's zebra-patterned wallpaper was on Gwyneth's wall in The Royal Tenenbaums. It also covers the lavatory walls at the Waverly Inn. Some things you can't teach.
Indeed, at age five, Nicholas' unique personal style is really starting to assert itself. His look is reminiscent of a mini Jimmy Page circa The Yardbirds. Nicholas puts his weekday outfits together using a different set of criterion than me. While I stare at the mirror and think, Hey, Carb Face, wear a spread collar because it will make your chipmunk cheeks appear slimmer, Nicholas will tell me, "I want to wear a blue shirt because I know Chris is wearing a blue shirt, and he's the best at sports in our class, and if I wear blue, we'll be on the same team, and I'll win." His sartorial logic now trumps mine.
There have also been a few mornings when he's actually out-dressed me. I certainly expected that Outfit Envy would happen some day, maybe 15 or 20 years from now. But, lately, the guinea pig has become the mad scientist. He has put together some looks - a shirt and tie with a shawl-collared cardigan or dark-blue jeans with desert boots and a button-down shirt - that have prompted me to ditch my Wallabies for desert boots and search out a dark, unwashed pair of Levi's.
The only real argument we've had over clothes recently concerns my first necktie, which my late mother lovingly saved in a box. It now hangs on Nicholas' tie rack. The tie - a red and white regimental stripe - dates from 1973 (a tragic moment when men's ties were as wide as tablecloths). Nicholas wants to wear this relic from the Telly Savalas Collection, and I keep telling him, "No". Considering the way he can sense which way the fashion winds are blowing, I should probably stop arguing and start shopping for a fat tie before everyone else is wearing them again.

Former Auburn quarterback Zeke Pike is transferring to Louisville, where he is set to play tight end, 247Sports.com first reported.
Pike was dismissed from the Tigers' team following an arrest on charges of public intoxication. He will have to sit out one year before he can play for the Cardinals.
Pike was an early enrollee at Auburn and participated in spring practices, but after the arrest in June, was sent home for the summer and not allowed to return to the team.
According to Card Chronicle, in the spring of 2011 Pike was kicked out of a 7-on-7 tournament for rifling a ball at an official. As a high school senior, he was also suspended for his team's playoff loss for undisclosed reasons.


text: The Utah Utes have linemen high on their want list for their 2013 recruiting class. The good news for them is one of the better ones in the west still has them high on his list. Kyle Peko, a defensive tackle out of Cerritos Community College in Cerritos, Calif., said Tuesday he ranks Utah among his favorite schools along with Michigan State, Boise State and Washington State. He is visiting Washington State this week and Boise State next week and will make a decision in January. His visit with Utah last week went well. "I had a great time," he said. "I felt like I fit in with all the guys really well and fit into their defensive scheme so they are high on my list right now." The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Peko also said he had a great visit with Michigan State. "I loved everything about that program," he said. "It's a good program and the coaching staff is good just like Utah. I have a tough decision coming my way." Peko, who is being recruited by Aaron Roderick, plans to enroll in May. One thing that might help the Utes win the battle for Peko is that his coach, Frank Mazzotta, played for Utah (1964-65) and started his coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Utes. Mazzotta said Peko makes up for a lack of bulk with his athleticism. "He is a real athletic kid," he said. "He would fit in there really well." The Utes have more than 20 players committed for their 2013 class, but expect some shifting around as players change their minds and schools drop some recruits for higher-rated players. Already the Utes have backed off on two guys, running back/corner Andrew Ballin out of Fresno, Calif., and Charlie Eteaki, a running back out of Anaheim, Calif. Utah defensive lineman Star Lotulelei and returner Reggie Dunn earned more awards Tuesday as both were named first-team All-Americans by Athlon Sports. Dunn was named a first-team All-American by CBSsports.com Monday and Lotulelei was a second-team selection. - Lya Wodraska

These are pretty bizarre. One of my pickers found them in the trash today. That first one is creepy, but it really epitomizes the time so well - an image of ourselves which has never gone away despite the whole world moving on... i wonder if there is any value to these, despite the condition of some of them. there's a few more as well. are they very common?

#1: 4 year old, 4b Hair Shrinkrage
My 4 year old is a 4b and she has soft hair but it shrinks to about 75%.I am currently using ORGANIC Root Stimulator OLIVE OIL Hair Lotion and have used coconut oil, blended beauty butter but the products soften, ease friz but still shrinks. I always wrap her hair in ponytails but she seem to be hating this since she is now going to school. When I left her hair loose one day with a band she said almost all the children in her class (99% white) were touching her hair (she started a few weeks ago). I have since noticed that this has left my little girl a bit frustrated and has constantly said she once long hair. Previously at the day nursery she told me one day when I was doing her hair and she was looking at the mirror that another child in nursery had called her a guerilla. What can i do to help my little daughter? Also I need advise about products I can use to help with hair shrinkage which also a problem with my 4b hair - by the way I am in England in the UK.
