"Will has got a great edge to him," coach Tom Crean said. "He is a great young man who has got a great edge. He is not the player that he is without that edge and that energy. It fuels him."
A fueled Sheehey is a 6-7 big play waiting to happen, whether it's hitting the jumper to beat VCU in last year's NCAA tourney or dishing out a career-high seven assists in Wednesday night's blowout win at Purdue. He's a good shooter, a versatile defender and an off-the-bench catalyst. And if, along the way, he gets a little mouthy, well, sometimes you take the bad with the good, and nobody can deny there's more good than bad.
"It's no accident that we're playing better because he's playing so well right now," Crean said.
Sheehey averages 10.3 points and 3.8 rebounds. He shoots 51.4 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from three-point range. He has scored as many as 19 points this season, as many as 21 in his career. He's just behind Victor Oladipo as IU's top defender. He has started one game, against Sam Houston State, when Crean used him to make a point to regular starter Christian Watford about effort and consistency.
Beyond that, he's a very good student with law school plans once his basketball playing days are over.
Sheehey is a big reason why the No. 3 Hoosiers have won four straight games, two on the road, entering Saturday's Big Ten showdown with No. 1 Michigan.
"He was in double figures in deflections (against Purdue)," Crean said. "He guards numerous people. He has got an energy and an edge that makes us a better, tougher team."
IU (19-2 overall) will need all the edge and toughness it can muster in its first-place battle with Michigan (20-1). Both teams come in with 7-1 Big Ten records.
The Hoosiers just steam rolled Purdue at Mackey Arena for their most complete game of the season. They are ready, guard Yogi Ferrell said, for their biggest regular season game since beating No. 1 Kentucky last year. Confidence, he added, won't go over the top.
"We always want to have that humble mentality," he said. "We never want to seem too cocky. We don't want to have that vibe."
How good is Michigan? It is off to the best start in school history. It is ranked No. 1 for the first time in two decades. It won the NIT Preseason Tipoff by beating Pitt, Kansas State and North Carolina State. Six of its Big Ten wins have come by at least 14 points. The other was by eight points at Minnesota. Its lone conference loss was at Ohio State, 56-53.
The Wolverines are, by far, the Big Ten's most inexperienced team. Freshmen Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary, Nik Stauskas and Spike Albrecht play extensively. Sophomore point guard Trey Burke is on everybody's list as a national player of the year contender. Junior swingman Tim Hardaway and senior forward Jordan Morgan bring crucial leadership and maturity.
Robinson and Stauskas are up for national freshman of the year honors, as is Ferrell.
Robinson, the son of former Purdue and NBA great Glenn Robinson, averages 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 60.1 percent from the field. Stauskas leads the Big Ten in three-point shooting (49.5 percent) while averaging 12.6 points.
Hardaway averages 15.5 points and 5.0 rebounds. Morgan averages 6.4 points and 5.2 rebounds. McGary, who was once recruited by IU and Purdue, averages 5.6 points and 6.0 rebounds. Albrecht averages 1.6 points in a more limited role, although he has played in every game.
Burke is the catalyst. He averages 17.9 points and 7.1 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field, 37.7 percent from three-point range and 77.9 percent from the line. He's the only Big Ten player to have scored at least 15 points in every conference game. He has had as many as 12 assists in a game, and recently surpassed 300 assists in his career.
"I give my teammates all of the credit," Burke told Michigan's media relations department. "When you're surrounded by guys that are so unselfish and do what is best for the team, then good things are bound to happen.
"I'm playing with guys that are such high-quality players. We all have jobs out there, and one of my roles is to make plays for the team, whether it's scoring or getting other guys the ball."
Those other guys appreciate his passing generosity.
"It's very important having him run the floor out there," Robinson told Michigan's media relations department. "He is a great leader and knows how to control the team. He just seems to find us in the right spot, at the right time — the least we can do is make the shot for him."

You know that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when someone lets you know they appreciate you? When you received a thoughtful "thank you," everything felt right in the world, even for just a moment. Turns out, research has found giving thanks can make you feel good all over, too—and now is the perfect time of year to show your gratitude attitude. Enjoy these neat little ideas to let the people who make a difference in your life know how much they mean to you.
Send thankful notes and invitations
Express your appreciation to those who contribute moments of happiness in your life or make a bigger impact. These Thanksgiving-inspired designs make it easy to create personalized notes to give thanks, or invitations for a Thanksgiving dinner. Matching address labels complete the look for a warm and inviting mailing.
Host a meal to give thanks
Treat your guests to a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. And to give 'em the VIP treatment, sprinkle in some personalized attention to detail: use buffet cards to identify dishes, place cards to mark their spot at the table, napkin seals to keep their napkins wrapped around their silverware, and even labels to mark their Thanksgiving leftover boxes so there's no skirmish over the mashed potatoes.
Give a gift of gratitude
You've got to admit, each time you express your thanks to someone, it can give you a buzz of happiness. Here are some other ways to share your gratefulness to friends, family, clients, and teachers, and say, "thanks for being you." These conversation cards can be shared at the dinner table or attached to a gift such as a bottle of wine, and these timeless labels can add the perfect touch to a box of homemade goodies.

The goal of this project is to determine the general consensus on Pacers Digest of who the best players are at each position in the NBA: Center, Power Forward, Small Forward, Shooting Guard, and Point Guard.
However, do not worry about the positions. I have tried to put everyone at their proper position, but what I am trying to do here is vote for the best overall player, at the position I happened to put them. The objective of each poll is to determine the best player listed, not the best pure positional player.
This thread is to vote for the best remaining point guard in the NBA. You have 24 hours from the time this thread is posted to vote!
Once each position has 30 players ranked, the project will end, and a final tally will be posted in a new thread.
The top point guards so far, as voted by Pacers Digest members, are:
#1 Steve Nash
#2 Allen Iverson
#3 Gilbert Arenas
#4 Chris Paul
#5 Chauncey Billups
#6 Jason Kidd
#7 Tony Parker
Today's nominees* for best point guard remaining are:
Mike Bibby
Sam Cassell
Baron Davis
T.J. Ford
Steve Francis
Devin Harris
Kirk Hinrich
Allen Iverson
Mike James
Brevin Knight
Shaun Livingston
Stephon Marbury
Andre Miller
Jameer Nelson
Luke Ridnour
Jason Terry
Jamaal Tinsley
Delonte West
Deron Williams
Jason Williams
* I can't please everyone with the position I put certain guys, so the way I see it is this:
If I've made such a colossal mistake, it can easily be corrected by you, the voter. How? I will always have "Other" as an option. All you have to do is vote for it, and state for the record in a reply which player you thought deserved the vote. If the majority of people do this, then that player will still win this poll. It just takes a little more effort then two clicks of the mouse. But if you're too lazy to do that, then you have no right to whine about it later.

The new battleground in the fight between environmental activists and companies such as DuPont Co., Syngenta AG and Dow Chemical Co. over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) isn't the plains of Iowa or Nebraska, but rather all the way out west in Hawaii.
Those three agricultural companies filed a lawsuit in U.S. district court in Honolulu on Jan. 10 looking to block a recent law on the Hawaiian island of Kauai that would limit the planting and spraying of GMO-containing crops. The law, which would begin to be enforced in August, would restrict most crop growing near schools and nursing homes, as well as require disclosure of all chemical use and GMO crop cultivation.
The companies claim in a joint statement released to The Wall Street Journal that the law is invalid. "It arbitrarily targets our industry with burdensome and baseless restrictions on farming operations by attempting to regulate activities over which counties in Hawaii have no jurisdiction," the statement said. "These activities are already regulated by governmental agencies under state and federal laws."
According to the WSJ, the companies lease a combined 11,500 acres for test farms and research facilities on the island of Kauai, which is the fourth-largest on the state.
Hawaii has become an important component in the business strategy for all of these companies, especially with the year-round growing weather found in the state. Accordingly, the companies have also found more pushback from activists and governmental officials as their presence grows. The island of Hawaii, the largest in the state, passed a law that bans GMO crop cultivation in December.
Environmental activists in Hawaii have pushed for these new laws, and the state's conflict could become a testing ground for other similar laws across the country. The Supreme Court has previously ruled on patent issues surrounding GMOs, but the federal government has largely left states to their own devices regarding planting regulation.
Many activists have fought to limit GMO crop planting and require labeling of GMO foods, but the major agricultural companies argue that GMO foods have no history of health problems and labeling them is unnecessary. So far, most states have no GMO-restrictive laws on the books, even as agricultural companies are beginning to feel more pressure.

Though USDA reports, including Crop Progress and Friday's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, are suspended until further notice, a Reuters poll of analysts indicated that the corn harvest was around 20 percent complete as of Oct. 6.
This puts corn harvest 8 percentage points above last week's report.
The analysts also pegged soybean harvest at 22 percent, which is double last week's report of 11 percent. Click here for more.
Yesterday, the USDA announced that it would not release the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. Even if the federal shutdown were to end, the USDA has up to 10 days of data collection and analysis to perform before it can estimate the size of the fall-harvest crops.
No new date for the reports has been announced. Read more here.

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS practices in Manhattan, New York & Great Neck, Long Island at Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics as a Plastic Surgeon, board certified by American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Tehrani has over 10 years of experience providing cosmetic and aesthetic medical services, and is a member of American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Dr. Tehrani has hospital affiliations at Lenox Hill Hospital, North Shore Manhasset and Long Island Jewish.
You will meet Dr. Tehrani for a relaxed but systematic and interactive discussion of all aspects of the problem under consideration. Dr. Tehrani will start by reviewing your goals. He will review medical history and lifestyle, conduct a physical examination and assess your suitability for plastic and reconstructive surgery. He may recommend tests before making a definite recommendation. He will aim to educate and inform you about the problem and go on to explain the different ways in which plastic and reconstructive surgery could attempt to solve it. He will then recommend what he considers to be the best procedure to carry out, taking everything into account. He and his staff may supply literature for separate study and your review.
When appropriate he will use visual aides and computer imaging to realistically portray your expected post-operative outcome. He will explain what the operation involves; cover the pros and cons and the risks involved; discuss anesthesia; the hospital or surgery center where the operation will be carried out; and recovery – how long it will take and how you are likely to feel at each stage. Finally the office staff will cover fees – his, the hospital's and the anesthetist's.
During the consultation a mutual understanding will hopefully develop. Dr. Tehrani will invite you to ask all your questions and air your worries. His answers will be frank and clear.
Remember that plastic and reconstructive surgery can achieve a great deal but it is not a perfect science. The ideal candidate for plastic and reconstructive surgery is healthy and self-confident, well balanced and realistic in her (or his) expectations. In the unfortunate cases where patients are not completely happy after procedures, the problem usually lies not with the success of the operation but with the patient who may have expected too much. Over anxious, highly nervous patients who believe a different nose shape or slimmer thighs will save their marriage or land a better job are unlikely ever to be satisfied by what a plastic surgeon can achieve.

My overall hope after seeing PG's growth this year was Danny would come back healthy and boost his trade value going into the draft. Where we might have been able to jump up and find a backup PF and of course resign West. So obviously this won't happen because Danny will have no trade value until the trade deadline next season. So I had this stupid thought rolling around in my head if Danny can't be traded and is going to recover why not trade Paul George. I know it's blasphemy and I'll repeat it's a stupid idea but I followed it Down this path .
Trade to PHX: PG,Green and our first round pick in mid 20's
Get from PHX: Scola, there 2 first round picks in this years draft.
Scola backs up West at the # 4 pick we get Porter and with the Laker's pick we get McCollum.
We could then go after Reddick with a mid level exp. contract in the 5-6 mil to be our 6th man. The roster would look like this:
We still need a couple fillers for the league minimum or so for PF and PG.
I was just following a train of thought not really advocating this move. I'm curious to see if anyone would be tempted. I know trading Paul is a scary idea with all he's done this year, but the thought just struck me.


text: Diagnosis By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Pediatric epilepsy consultation To diagnose your condition, your doctor will review your symptoms and medical history. Your doctor may order several tests to diagnose epilepsy and determine the cause of seizures. Neurological examination. Your doctor may test your behavior, motor abilities, mental function and other areas to diagnose your condition and determine the type of epilepsy you may have. Blood tests. Your doctor may take a blood sample to check for signs of infections, genetic conditions or other conditions that may be associated with seizures. Your doctor may also suggest tests to detect brain abnormalities, such as: EEG brain activityEEG brain activityAn EEG records the electrical activity of your brain via electrodes affixed to your scalp. EEG results show changes in brain activity that may be useful in diagnosing brain conditions, especially epilepsy and other seizure disorders. CT scanCT scan Pinpointing seizure locationPinpointing seizure locationThis example shows SPECT scans taken during and between seizures. The differences represent areas where blood flow increased during the seizure. Once identified, that location is fitted onto an MRI image of the brain. Electroencephalogram (EEG). This is the most common test used to diagnose epilepsy. In this test, doctors attach electrodes to your scalp with a paste-like substance. The electrodes record the electrical activity of your brain. If you have epilepsy, it's common to have changes in your normal pattern of brain waves, even when you're not having a seizure. Your doctor may monitor you on video while conducting an EEG while you're awake or asleep, to record any seizures you may experience. Recording the seizures may help the doctor determine what kind of seizures you're having or rule out other conditions. Your doctor may give you instructions to do something that will cause seizures, such as getting little sleep prior to the test. Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses X-rays to obtain cross-sectional images of your brain. CT scans can reveal abnormalities in your brain that might be causing your seizures, such as tumors, bleeding and cysts. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create a detailed view of your brain. Your doctor may be able to detect lesions or abnormalities in your brain that could be causing your seizures. Functional MRI (fMRI). A functional MRI measures the changes in blood flow that occur when specific parts of your brain are working. Doctors may use an fMRI before surgery to identify the exact locations of critical functions, such as speech and movement, so that surgeons can avoid injuring those places while operating. Positron emission tomography (PET). PET scans use a small amount of low-dose radioactive material that's injected into a vein to help visualize active areas of the brain and detect abnormalities. Single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). This type of test is used primarily if you've had an MRI and EEG that didn't pinpoint the location in your brain where the seizures are originating. A SPECT test uses a small amount of low-dose radioactive material that's injected into a vein to create a detailed, 3-D map of the blood flow activity in your brain during seizures. Doctors also may conduct a form of a SPECT test called subtraction ictal SPECT coregistered to magnetic resonance imaging (SISCOM), which may provide even more detailed results. Neuropsychological tests. In these tests, doctors assess your thinking, memory and speech skills. The test results help doctors determine which areas of your brain are affected.

Celebrities Who Use Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding Is Making Your Pop Culture Dreams Come True
Through online systems like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, stars are campaigning and asking fans to make donations toward their personal creative projects via the Internet. As of Thursday, LeVar Burton's Reading Rainbow revamp has raised nearly $3.5 million on Kickstarter while Don Cheadle is well on his way to reaching the Indiegogo goal for his Miles Davis biopic. The guys join the ranks of other celebrities who have turned to such platforms, including James Franco and Kristen Bell, who raked in a record-breaking $5.7 million for her Kickstarter campaign for the Veronica Mars movie. Zach Braff has also followed suit, crediting Kristen's success for his decision to utilize the site for his latest film project, Wish I Was Here.

A Philadelphia developer's ideas for the area around the Divine Lorraine Hotel on North Broad Street are much bigger than just the historic building he's renovating. The map of big dreams stretches across and around the old hotel: covering four blocks along Broad Street. (See map below.) Some current residents are wondering why their buildings aren't on the map.
Imagine looking at a map of the block you live on — and not seeing your home. Instead, the map shows a new building.
"I first saw that drawing last Thursday. When I saw that my house was obliterated — that I was not expecting at all and that was quite a shock," said Susan Crawshaw.
Residents react
Sitting on the porch of her lovingly-renovated home, looking out over her garden, Crawshaw talks about what she thought when she saw the map — which shows a Shared Visual Arts Complex where she is now. There are some trees sketched in, Crawshaw points out, and she wonders if they'd keep her fig and cherry trees.
"When you think there's a designer or an architect or an architect's assistant sitting somewhere pointing out plans for your block on his or her CAD system and then hovering the cursor over your building and then hitting click and then — poof — your building doesn't exist anymore — and you had no idea," said Crawshaw. "You know you're just a dismissible detail on somebody's plan. It's just weird."
Crawshaw says she has not spoken with the city or the developer's office but she has talked to other neighborhood residents.
Just a few minutes walk away, two more building owners are worrying. Tina Rocha and her husband run the Cerulean Arts Gallery and Studio on Ridge Avenue — right across from a former homeless shelter.
"We have homemade decorative arts," said Rocha. "So jewelry, vases, baskets, we have local artists, fair trade companies, something for everyone."
Rocha says the pair poured themselves into renovating this place.
"We thought the neighborhood had so much potential. So we wanted to be part of a community that is seeing its re-birth."
Rocha, who works at an architecture firm, says the couple knew it would take time for their gallery and the neighborhood to grow. What they didn't expect was seeing a map of the area that appears to no longer include their building. She points to the map that doesn't show her building, "We're right in the Commons. So we're right smack in the middle of the block here."
Rocha says she's not sure what to do now.
Nothing decided yet
The developer behind the map is Eric Blumenfeld, who's also sharing his ideas for renovating the Divine Lorraine Hotel up the street.
"My job is to make things up and look at them as ideas — not as hard plans," said Blumenfeld.
Blumenfeld says he's been talking to the community and will reach out to more people in the neighborhood for their input and ideas. But first he sketched out his dream plan, ignoring potential obstacles.
"And when you use your imagination you kind of don't live with real barriers," he said. "You just pretend you have total access to everything. And then it has to get refined. So neighborhood and community development is a process."
Members of the local community group the West Poplar Community Development Corporation, which covers the area, say they're waiting to hear more.
"The city will let him know he'll have to come to us in due time," said CDC Board member Jeffrey Saunders sitting in a neighborhood church. "There's no sense in him, frankly, wasting his time and ours coming in to us with something that's too preliminary. He's got to figure out what it is that he wants to do and how he wants to put it together. First he's got to get his hands around various cost factors and so on."
Saunders says of course he's not sure what's happening behind the scenes or how quickly things could develop.
"If your game plan involves putting facilities in places where somebody currently has their house or somebody else currently has their business, I can see how that could be pretty upsetting to them," said Saunders. "If nobody came and talking to them."
Susan Crawshaw says she understands sometimes developers throw out big ideas, then whittle it down. If that's what's happening now she says, OK, but in the meantime it's been pretty stressful for people here — whose homes and businesses aren't on the map.
Correction: A previous version of the map below erroneously indicated that the Congregation Rodeph Shalom was within the area to be affected by Eric Blumenfeld's development plan. The synagogue is not part of the plan. The map has been corrected to indicate this. We regret the error.

Kids Rooms: 28 Designs
Enjoy decorating ideas for girls rooms, boys rooms, teen bedrooms and baby nurseries in this gorgeous photo gallery. You'll find tips on themes, painting, furniture, bedding, lighting and rugs for kids rooms, and even en suite bathrooms. Chat with your child, look at the pictures and decide which look works best for your space.
Subtle touches of dark pink offer femininity without going overboard.
The wicker chair in chef Trish Magwood's daughter's room, a hand-me-down from her husband's family, enhances the home's cottage-in-the-city vibe.
A small desk adjacent to the bed doubles as a nightstand.
For her son's room, Trish Magwood chose punchy orange accents inspired by the silkscreen print of a suitably named vintage Penguin book. A headboard in charcoal grey complements the vibrant hue.
See more of Trish's home in our photo gallery.
Tailored lighting and rugs grant this room a crisp, preppy air.
Here, designer Scott Yetman created a space that was playful yet sophisticated. "Kids grow up fast, so keep their rooms fun, but not too childish," he suggests. Instead of bringing colour through the bedding, he chose blue bed frames to contrast against the wall panelling.
See more Scott Yetman Designs in our photo gallery.
Grown-up art keeps this room from looking too young.
Designer Colette van den Thillart's daughters, Ava, 9, and Hannah, 11, love to curl up in their pretty bedroom. Each bed is framed by a chintz canopy for a soft and romantic look.
See more of Colette van den Thillart's London Home in our photo gallery.
Create a nursery that will grow with your child.
Chalkboard paint allows Tanya Linton's son, Eddie — once he's old enough — to draw on walls without rebuke. Painted iron moose antlers is a humorous art piece that doubles as hook storage.
See more of this house in our Stylish Family Home Makeover photo gallery, plus find more inspiration in our photo gallery of Editors' Favourite Kids' Rooms.
Vintage pieces offer timeworn charm.
Twin beds and a vintage P.E.I. hooked rug were the starting point for a bedroom makeover. Homeowner Cobi Ladner discovered the striped bedskirts at a chain store. From there, she layered in neutrals, blues, reds and mix-and-match vintage quilts.
For more great homes from eastern Canada, see our Photo Gallery: Best Of The East.
Create a bold accent wall with black chalkboard paint, so kids can "redecorate" their room.
Black shelves disappear against the dark backdrop, making their contents appear to float. Conversely, bright colours pop: a red vintage store display has tiers of rotating shelves for keeping the floor clear of gear. Save space with multifunctional furniture: the bed frame has four built-in drawers below and the headboard hides shelves on both sides.

A lively scheme of aqua and red brightens a kid-friendly bedroom.
The twins' room in the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome was designed for two girls. Dark and light play against each other with ebony wood beds and a pastel colour palette. The textured, round rug provides softness underfoot in the centre of the room, while layers of patterned fabric keep the space classic and feminine.
See more of the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome in our photo gallery. Also, watch Lynda Reeves tour the house. Check out other pretty, Tiffany-inspired interiors in this photo gallery.
A pink gingham canopy bed and matching light shade strike a sweet note.
Colourful wallpaper, a shapely dresser and a geometric rug work together with white, mod accents in this bedroom decorated by New York designer Jonathan Adler. Adler's famous ceramic Giraffe Objet looks whimsical and perfectly at home on a cube table.
See more of Adler's designs in our photo gallery.
A handsome armoire offers a focal point in this space.
Homeowner Sappho Griffin created a country theme in her daughter's bedroom with beadboard panelled walls and ceilings. Beautiful traditional furniture elevates the room while a floral laser-cut pendant lamp adds a touch of whimsy.

With splashes of rose and bubblegum, this bedroom celebrates every girl's favourite hue.
From the bedding to the furniture and rug, this design is all about one thing: pink, pink and more pink. Introduced mainly through accessories, the colour can be smartly phased out or toned down once she embraces a new favourite.
Learn more about Decorating With Pink in our photo gallery.
Themed bedding and accessories add cottagey charm.
Dreams of tall ships and far-away places are a sure thing in this serene space. The design is classic yet fun, and the theme isn't overdone. Vintage touches, like the bedspreads and sock monkeys, lend a shabby-chic appeal.
One bright paint colour in an ocean hue is an easy way to brighten a bathroom.
Bold teal paint livens up this cottagey children's bathroom, where it covers a vintage clawfoot tub, old-fashioned sink and walls above crisp white panelling.
For more beachy and nautical rooms, see our Seaside-Inspired Interiors photo gallery.
Crisp white walls, bedding and lamps allow pastel shades to shine.
In this little girl's room, a rosy-pink velvet headboard, striped silk dust ruffle and toile chair combine for a sophisticated and feminine look that she won't soon outgrow.
A baby's room that's chic enough to grow as she does.
With its soaring ceilings, white furniture and striped wall treatment, there's nothing babyish about this room. Apart from the crib, all the other pieces will transition as the child ages.

Graphic prints elevate a standard kid's room.
Punchy patterns and colour make this design, which would work for either a girl or boy, hip and fun. Mixing prints — both in style and size — adds interest and keeps the bedding from feeling too matchy.
With beds this charming, two are better than one.
Decorating with pink can be overwhelming but here, apple green coverlets cut the sweetness of the wispy pink bedding. Using bunk beds means the girls sharing the bedroom have a dedicated adjacent play area.
Watery tones give a teen's bedroom lasting style.
Decorating with blues and greens will help this room feel light and airy all year round. Wall-mounted sconces eliminate the need for bedside lamps, meaning tables can be smaller in scale. The addition of unique artwork elevates the otherwise simple design.
Conceal clutter and toys in baskets and drawers.
A fun wicker chair (a flea-market find) and simple contemporary furniture add grown-up style to this little girl's room. The palette of yellow, green and red lends a pop-art feeling, while the furniture's simple lines keep the room fresh.
Pink furniture and drapes look modern contrasted against white bedding and floors.
A vintage bergere chair has been infused with a fresh new vitality with some glossy raspberry paint and animal print upholstery, adding playful yet sophisticated style to this teen girl's bedroom.
Bold and graphic design that kids won't outgrow.
Bursts of primary colour wake up the serene white walls in this fun space. Simple bedding takes a backseat to a vibrantly striped Ikea rug, red locker-style cabinet and red craft table. The vintage glass pendant and bedside lights are illuminated by compact fluorescent bulbs.
See more of this beautiful, eco-friendly home in the May 2008 issue.
Add colour and personality to a baby's room.
A modern crib, chair and side table, juxtaposed with DIY accessories, give this nursery an eclectic, vintage feel. The bird mobile is made of wooden pieces found at a craft store, while the artwork features vintage flash cards in found frames. Books stored underneath the crib add colour.
See more photos from our Kids Rooms photo gallery.

Bold colour, pattern and texture create a luxe nursery.
This nursery, designed by Patricia Halpin Interiors for the 2009 Junior League of Toronto Showhouse, is meant to be both soothing and stimulating. The space offsets expanses of soft white with hits of fashionable fuchsia. Damask wallpaper is a striking backdrop for vintage furniture pieces, while the hanging bamboo chair is a playful modern alternative to a rocker. Tiny Barbie dresses, labelled, "Prada" and "Gucci," hang in Lucite shadowboxes.
Designer tip: Give flea market and garage sale finds a pretty new look with a fresh coat of paint and updated detailing, like the dresser's pretty crystal knobs here.
See more photos from our Kids Rooms photo gallery, plus more tips on Decorating With Pink.
A white side table, earth-toned bedding set and mod acrylic chair tone down the bold walls in this design.
Playful painted stripes give character to a teen's room. The vintage mushroom-shaped lamp—a junk-store find—adds to the groovy aesthetic.
See more of this beautiful, eco-friendly home in the May 2008 issue.
Combine old furniture for an eclectic look.
Skip cutesy furniture for kids' rooms and invest in handsome antique or vintage pieces. They'll stand up better to wear than inexpensive new pieces and be more flexible design-wise in the future. Simple fabrics and an old pine dresser and bed — inherited, like so much of the furniture and objets here — inject character and warmth.
See more photos from our Kids Rooms photo gallery.
A soft palette and elegant antiques give this space classic appeal.
Invest in traditional pieces for a child's bedroom and you'll be rewarded with maximum flexibility and longevity. Although this room belongs to a four-year-old girl, it could just as easily work as a pretty guest room, thanks to a vintage bed, needlepoint rug and antiqued gold chandelier. Similarly, the lavender panelled walls can be toned down with cream paint when she gets older.
See more photos from our Kids Rooms photo gallery.
Keep rooms fresh and simple when siblings share.
This modern-country space is ideal for a shared bedroom or frequent sleepovers. Ikea beds are outfitted with big, chunky casters for flexibility, while Indian quilts and flea-market finds give the room big personality on a small budget.
A soft palette and glam accents make a children's room suitable for guests, too.
This girls' room from the 2008 Princess Margaret Showhome is sweet without being saccharine. The combination of blue and spring green keeps the room light and clean, while sophisticated elements, such as the mirrored console, chandelier, and floral pattern on both beds, will allow the room to grow up with the kids or double as a guest room.

Coronation Street: That's knot on, Leanne
CORRIE babe Leanne Barlow's engagement hits the rocks before she's had the chance to start planning her big day.
But we can reveal that the blonde is left stunned when ex-husband Peter Barlow begs her not to marry Nick (Ben Price, 40).
And he leaves her lost for words when he confesses he's still in love with her and wants to give their romance another go.
It leaves Leanne (Jane Danson, 34) with a major dilemma. Should she marry Nick or give Peter another go?
The shock development comes after Peter dumps his current girlfriend Carla Connor (Alison King, 39) shortly after the pair return from Los Angeles.
In scenes to be screened next month, Peter (Chris Gascoyne, 44) tells her: "You look like someone doing an impersonation of someone being happy.
"Marrying Bistro boy will be the worst mistake of your life."
But Leanne hits back, saying she doesn't need advice from the tanked-up troubleshooter.
He admits to her that he's lonely, but says she's lonely too.
Fans are going to be left guessing whether the bride turns up for her festive wedding ceremony.
A show insider said: "There are plenty of twists to come."

The Art and Soul of Midwifery: Creativity in Practice, Education and Research
Edited by Lorna Davies
[2007, Churchill Livingstone; 264 pages, paperback.]
[Review first published in Midwifery Today Issue 98, Summer 2011, © 2011, Midwifery Today, Inc. Review by Sarah Harwell.]
Editor Lorna Davies has put together a diverse collection of writings that thoughtfully explore the intersections of art, creativity and midwifery. Birth art, craft, theater, dance and poetry are some of the art forms explored in-depth, with entire chapters also dedicated to the depiction of midwives in 20th century literature and visual arts.
Acknowledging the paradigm shift taking place in the professional fields of pre and perinatal care, the intention of the book, as Davies explains it, is to explore how the application of creative arts, "in practice, education and research…may help to enhance the physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual well-being of the childbearing community…" This is no small task and chapter contributors meet it head-on.
The range of creative modalities covered in the book relate to all stages of childbearing, from prenatal preparation to postnatal and antenal recovery. Many chapters include a multi-disciplinary review of current research on their specific topics, and explore the practical application of each art in midwifery education and practice from a holistic perspective. In fact, the last chapter of the book is chalked full of exercises that midwives, doulas and childbirth educators—even parents—can use in a number of contexts. If midwifery students in university programs are not reading this book, they should be.
Contributors include Sara Wickham, Tricia Anderson, Pam England and Janet Bass, to name a few, and though included resources have a decidedly British slant, the ideas are universal. Color photographs, extensive reference lists and further reading suggestions make The Art and Soul of Midwifery an excellent book to have at hand. Although its focus is directed towards midwives and midwifery education, anyone interested in the creative arts will find useful information that cast the arts through the lens of birth.
This book reminds everyone that creativity is a central, critical aspect of living and while it finds expression in countless mediums, none is so perfect as birth itself.
Reviewer Sarah Harwell is the managing editor of Midwifery Today magazine. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing and is interested in the therapeutic aspects of writing, poetry in particular, to support people through major life transitions, including the passage to motherhood.


text: Saying no to sex By Ronni Lynn Wood, Scott High School February 6, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In high schools everywhere, teens may be confronted with the idea of having sex with their partner before they're ready. They may not know just how to say no, though.If this is happening to you, you must tell your partner what you feel. This is the most important time in a relationship to be completely honest with him or her.When you do say no, be confident so that your partner knows you are serious. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed; stay true to yourself and your feelings.Explain your reasons for saying no to your partner. Maybe you are not ready for sex, maybe you do not like the risk of pregnancy or maybe you do not want to have sex before marriage. List all of your reasons, no matter what they are, so your partner understands why you are saying no. If he or she does not accept your reasons, then your partner may not be the right person for you.If you are curious about it but do not want to have sex yet, then tell your partner this. Let him or her know that just because you are saying no now does not mean you are saying no forever.Your partner should not continue to pressure you after you say no. It is your body, and you decide what to do with it. Do not let your partner say, "If you loved me, you'd do it." Instead, retort back, "If you loved me, you'd wait." Sex is not a test of your love for a person; saying no does not mean that you failed your partner or that you don't love him or her.If you do say no, be firm. Do not say no and then try to calm the situation with romantic gestures because this just confuses the idea. You must draw the line so your partner gets the idea.You do not have to have sex with someone just because you are in a relationship with him or her. If your partner tries to pressure you by threatening to break up with you, let him or her do it. No one should be in a relationship for sex. "The best discussion to have with your partner is about weighing the pros and cons of the situation, things like STDs and pregnancy," said Darlene McClure, a retired Scott High School health teacher."If they care about you, they'll care about you until you're ready," she continued. "When you start a relationship, [sex] is something you should discuss at the beginning. In the heat of the moment, your emotions would cloud your thinking."If you do decide to say yes to sex, be sure to take the appropriate precautions, such as using condoms and birth control.

Not a bad replacement for Hoffman. She's a vet, always seemed to make big plays against us in the WNBA Finals series against the Mercury. Should help
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)The Indiana Fever signed veteran center Tangela Smith to a multiyear deal on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-4 Smith, entering her 14th WNBA season, has career averages of 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 34.5 percent shooing on 3-pointers in 415 games with Sacramento, Charlotte and Phoenix. An All-Star with the Sting in 2006, she was on the Mercurys championship teams in 2007 and 2009.
Her experience, speed, quickness, length and 3-point shooting ability will be huge assets to our team, Fever coach Lin Dunn said in a release. Anytime you can sign a player who has two WNBA championship rings, its great for the franchise.
Smith is fifth on the leagues career scoring list (4,773 points), sixth in rebounds (2,216) and fourth in blocks (538). She averaged 9.2 points and 5.2 rebounds for Phoenix last season.
Smith, who will turn 34 on April 1, is the fourth former All-Star on the Fever, joining Tamika Catchings, Katie Douglas and Tammy Sutton-Brown. She will replace Ebony Hoffman, who signed with Los Angeles.
Indiana opens the season June 4 against Chicago.

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Conditioner Reviews
Really Makes Your Hair ManageableI used the Monoi shampoo, and it didn't suds up much. But, after I rinsed out the shampoo, my hair was so clean and not tangly. The reason I mention the shampoo is because I use the shampoo and conditioner. So, I applied the conditioner, and left it on for about 3-4 minutes while I applied body gels, etc. After I rinsed it out, my hair was unbelievable. I could run my fingers through it with ...read moreno tangles. After I air dried it, it wasn't fuzzy, and looked really shiny and was more manageable.

Lovely Scent + Leaves Hair silky smoothWhen a product smells good, it just sets the right mood and makes my day that much better. I mean you have to deal with your hair all day, so why not have it smelling amazing.

I enter the shower not knowing what to expect from this product, but I come out feeling beautiful knowing that my hair is being repaired and getting stronger with each passing moment. To have it smell amazing is just an extra-added bonus that's like the icing on the cake!

There's also the pre caution as with any other conditioner is to keep it out of your delicate precious eyes! I simply close my eyes when I'm rinsing so that's not something I need to worry about. Washing your hair no longer seems like a chore and is actually quite enjoyable when you're washing your hair with Carol's Daughter's Monoi Repairing conditioner.

About Game Development are short essays exploring the world of game development at Bethesda Game Studios. Today's post is about broken windows.
Our games here at Bethesda Game Studios are complex, sprawling epics with layers of systems, reams of data, stunning art and audio and hours upon hours of fun made by our talented creators of all stripes. Underlying all of that is thousands upon thousands of lines of source code to make it all go, from editing gameplay data to exporting and placing art to actually running the game itself on one of several platforms.
This makes for lots of challenges, and among those challenges is the shifting sands of years of development by dozens of programmers. In the sixteen years since we released The Elder Scrolls: Arena, there have been a lot of changes in the ways games are made (and in the sizes of teams needed to make them) and choices that made sense on the PC-only market we started sometimes make less sense in the light of changing times. Taking this with the constant influx of gameplay, art, and code to a running game in development, one of the biggest hidden risks is "Broken Windows."
"Broken windows" is a term taken from sociology, specifically criminology theory. The basic idea is that while few people will vandalize a public space, once it has already been vandalized there's a lower barrier to entry. For example, an unoccupied house without any broken windows will stand unmolested for a long time — but as soon as one window is broken, other broken windows and forms of vandalism are not far behind. It's actually even a little fun to break a window when lots of others are broken, as even as estimable a character as It's A Wonderful Life's George Bailey would tell you.
One key to a successful neighborhood is to keep those broken windows to a minimum; to fix them as fast as you notice them, so you present a great place to live that people want to keep looking nice. For those of us who get to make games for a living, fixing our own broken windows quickly makes an already great job even better.
Some of our broken windows are obvious — they're the little crash bugs that crop up as new systems are added or as we optimize the code to squeeze every bit of performance we can out of a machine. Others are less so, like missing normal maps or quests that aren't quite wired up right, though often we can provide warnings to the content creators to let them know the data looks a little askew, and those warnings are themselves broken windows.
The engineering team strives to minimize the time we allow broken windows to stay in the code. We leverage our tools to give us better information about what windows might be broken by turning up all the compiler warnings and fixing even the ones that don't seem to matter all that much. We do peer review of code, whereby every bit of code that goes into the game gets looked over by another programmer to check for any gaps where crash bugs or other errors might creep through. And we commit ourselves to keeping our artists and designers productive: every time anyone crashes in code we wrote here, we give them an opportunity to tell us what they were doing via a pop-up dialog and put as much information we can about that crash into a database so we can both track it and identify it.
Our artists create great art by constantly keeping each other to higher standards of beauty (though in the case of a super mutant, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder). Our designers constantly push each other to reach higher and higher quality gameplay and narrative. As software developers, the programmers in the engineering department are trying to find ways to do the same thing. We hope you like the results.
Brett Douville leads our systems programming group at Bethesda Game Studios.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is fearful that his own team and Major League Baseball are conspiring to end his baseball career, sources tell the New York Daily News.
"He's scared, because he thinks this is so unbelievably false, and he's wondering who could be behind this," a source told the newspaper. "He thinks something could be going on larger than anyone might think."
Last week, the Miami New Times published the findings of its investigation in the Biogenesis anti-aging lab in the Miami area. That report accused Rodriguez and five other active players of purchasing performance-enhancing drugs from the clinic, which was run by Anthony Bosch. An ESPN.com report later quoted sources that said Bosch personally injected Rodriguez with PEDs.
Through statements from his legal team, Rodriguez has denied all of the new accusations. In 2009, however, he did admit to using PEDs from 2001-2003 while with the Texas Rangers.
SN experts on A-Rod: McNeal | Witrado | Olson
The Daily News reports MLB, which is investigating the recent claims, met with the editors of the Miami New Times on Monday in an effort to gain access to the evidence they uncovered during the Biogenesis investigation. That evidence includes handwritten letters and files from the clinic; the Miami New Times posted much of that evidence online last week.
In addition to the PED accusations, the 37-year-old Rodriguez is rehabbing from mid-January hip surgery, which will keep him sidelined until at least the All-Star break. There has been speculation that A-Rod never will play another game with the Yankees, either because of his physical condition or because they will try to void his contract. The team owes him $114 million over the next five years. A source close to A-Rod told ESPNNewYork.com that he has no plans to retire.
Teammates' takes: Jeter silent | Rivera, Teixeira will welcome A-Rod back
Also named in the Miami New Times report: Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, Texas Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz, Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland A's Bartolo Colon and San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal all tested positive for PEDs in 2012 and been suspended by MLB, while Rodriguez, Cruz and Gonzalez have denied any involvement with PEDs.

Restrictions on citrus in California's Tulare County, put in place in December after Asian citrus psyllids were found in the county, are set to be lifted June 17.
If no more psyllids are found before that date, the ban will be lifted, Bob Blakely, director of industry relations at Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual, said June 13.
After the initial finds last year, which led to the restrictions in two areas of Tulare County, no additional psyllids have been found, Blakely said.
"This is very good news," Blakely said. "Growers can harvest again without employing mitigation steps."
Those steps include removing stems and leaves from plants and pre-treating them before they can ship.
The restrictions stop short of being a full quarantine. Had another psyllid been found during the six-month restricted period, however, a two-year quarantine would have been established.
Under the restrictions, fruit can be shipped from Tulare County if mitigation measures are in place. Nursery stock cannot leave the restricted zones unless grown in pest-resistant structures.
The two restricted areas consist of 5-mile radiuses around sites in the Strathmore and Terra Bella areas where the psyllids were found.
Psyllids, which can carry citrus greening disease, were collected in traps in October and November. A third psyllid was trapped in December 2011.
Citrus greening disease, or HLB, has not been found in Tulare County. Psyllid findings are common in California, but only one case of HLB has been identified, in Hacienda Heights.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which broke through its all-time high in the first hour of trading Tuesday. At last check, the index was at 14,223. On Monday, the Dow reached its highest close of the year at 14,127.82, just shy of its record closing high. The Dow has risen 7.8% so far this year and the S&P 500 is 6.9% higher. Markets have rallied on optimism in the U.S. housing market, signals that companies are hiring more, strong corporate earnings and continuing economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve. However, automatic federal budget cuts that went into effect on Friday, otherwise known as the sequester, are reigning in optimism as many expect the cuts to weigh on the economy.
Ikea is trending as the Swedish company announced it is opening new budget hotels across western Europe in a partnership with Marriott International ( MAR) over the next five years. The two companies will develop more than 50 hotels in major cities, beginning in Milan, Italy, next year. The chain, reportedly called Moxy Hotels, will also open locations in Austria, Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Ireland. They will contain 150 to 300 rooms apiece and will be designed to attract younger travelers looking for style on a budget. Ikea already owns some hotels in Europe.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are another popular search. The two will form a joint venture for securitizing home loans that could ultimately replace the government-controlled mortgage companies. Edward DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said the goal of the venture is to build a single unit to support the mortgage credit business that could be privatized or folded into the government. The venture could end up replacing the two companies' separate systems, but the ultimate decision is up to Congress.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move. -- Written by Brittany Umar.

As the Florida real estate and general economy are improving, with average sales prices increasing, the number of foreclosures dropping and unemployment also increasing a funny thing happened as we continue through this recovery: re-foreclosures are up. Re-foreclosures you ask? That's right.
A re-foreclosure is when the bank for whatever reason dismissed the first foreclosure or in some cases homeowners were successful in beating the bank on the first foreclosure. Many homeowners had hoped that over time they would end up with the home for free if in fact the bank did not rebring the foreclosure or if the five-year statute of limitations has kicked in. In most cases, neither of those events indeed have occurred.
Banks are starting to re-foreclose
In fact what has occurred is that the banks slowly but surely are starting to reforeclose on these properties where homeowners originally had the first foreclosure dismissed.
You see that while the first foreclosure may have been dismissed the mortgage remained on the property and thus while the homeowner was not free to sell the property or even refinance the property (unless they did a modification with their current bank), homeowners of course were free to rent the property out or to enjoy ownership of the property for many years.
Advent of the re-foreclosure

HUNTINGTON, Ind. - Friends of two teenagers badly hurt in a Florida parasailing accident have gathered in their northeastern Indiana hometown to pray for their recovery.
Organizers say groups of 20 or more joined in prayer services held Tuesday afternoon and evening at a Huntington church for 17-year-olds Sidney Good of Roanoake and Alexis Fairchild, of Huntington. They've been hospitalized in critical condition after strong winds caught the detached parasail in Panama City Beach on Monday and they crashed in to a building and parked vehicle.
Huntington North High School student Natalie Mills tells The Herald-Press that Good and Fairchild need prayers and she believes her happy-go-lucky friends will pull through.
Life Church youth pastor Hillary Vought says the prayer groups began late Monday after the girls' classmates learned about the accident.

Software Startups Realizing That Cookie-Cutter Freemium Doesn't Always Work Well
from the but-don't-miss-the-point dept
There are a few reasons for this. First of all, the basic concept of "freemium," involves some rather arbitrary choices. You provide "x amount" of storage/users/projects/features/etc. for free, and you hope that people will pay for increased storage/users/projects/features/etc. But where do you make the cut off? That's quite tricky to figure out, because there's no fundamental reason for the cutoff points. When we talk about using free in a business model, we generally focus on freeing infinite goods and selling the scarce goods, but "freemium" offerings for web services don't tend to make any such distinction. The "free" versions are basically given away as marketing in the hopes that people will upgrade.
But in many cases, that doesn't work for a few key reasons: first, you now have incentives to make the "free" offering worse. That's never a good thing. In the effort to get people to sign up for the premium version, you have bad incentives. You don't want to make the free version "too good" as then people won't feel the need to upgrade. I find that to be a bad incentive structure in many cases. On top of that, there's a part of this that's a "give it away and pray," type strategy. Yes, you're offering more features, but figuring out that right mix of what's free and what's paid is really incredibly tricky, and you simply have to learn to accept, as Libin has done, that the vast majority of people using your app are just there for the free version. For Evernote, one of the keys to making it work is that the app itself becomes more and more useful, the more you use it. That leads to greater conversions over time. That's honestly rare for most apps which have a more or less steady-state usefulness.
The problem is that while the "free" version is supposed to act as "marketing" for the paid version, it's often wildly mis-targeted. Many people use the free version solely because it's free, and have no interest in signing up for the paid version at all. So that's not the right target market. If you're going to charge for something, you need to give people a real reason to buy, which often is offering something entirely different that is enhanced by something free, rather than limiting something free.
Unfortunately, however, the whole concept of "freemium" (including the catchy term) has received so much attention that many startups now jump right in with a cookie-cutter "freemium" offering -- and now they're learning why that's a mistake. Ross Pruden alerts us to a really interesting article from an entrepreneur who went the cookie-cutter freemium route, and eventually backed away from it and saw his revenue shoot upwards. He then explores a few other companies that have gone through similar evolutions, and saw the exact same thing happen.
This isn't surprising, given the problems described above about "freemium." Unfortunately, however, the author of that blog post, Ruben Gamez, jumps to the wrong conclusion that "free plans don't work." That's taking it a bit far. Freemium type plans can work in some cases, and "free" by itself can work wonders, if done right. But that tends to involve using free to enhance the value of something else, rather than using it as a sampling.
