Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.
We all suspect that how we look makes a difference in our lives. Think of the days when everything is going fine - that's a day you're feeling good and probably looking good.
In our teens, looks are everything. But as we get older, we tend to take our appearance for granted, and rely instead on our skills and professional competence to make up for any "cosmetic" imperfections.
Well, "cosmetic" is more than skin deep. We form very real biases about the people around us, even as adults, based on the simple fact of appearance. And the most critical factor in such judgments, according to copious research, is the teeth.
Yes, women are concerned about shape, as men are impressed by height. But everyone reacts the same to a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether we like it or not, people with straight white teeth are perceived to be more honest, more productive, more out-going, trusting, successful - you name it - than their counterparts with a missing tooth or broken teeth.
Your dentist has seen this psychology at work. For his or her patients, children and adults alike, cosmetic dentistry has made a tangible improvement not just in smiles, but in the quality of lives. A smile enhanced by restorative dentistry brings dramatic changes - changes more than "skin deep."
With new materials and techniques - tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, dental veneers, invisible braces - your cosmetic dentist is excited about the "magic" he or she can make. They've seen self-esteem grow before their eyes. Your dentist can help you look good, feel good, and get on with a healthy, vital life. Cosmetic dentistry? Go for it!

It's not every day that a top five prospect in baseball walks through the doors of McCoy Stadium and when the Durham Bulls came into town this past weekend, Wil Myers was the star player every Pawsox fan was watching on the field.
Myers was drafted in the third round by the Kansas City Royals in 2009 out of Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point, NC and has the potential to reach the major leagues before the end of the season with his new team, the Tampa Bay Rays
CLNSRadio.com got the exclusive opportunity to interview Myers at McCoy. Myers touched on things ranging from his reaction to getting traded from the Royals to the Rays, his season expectations and things we worked on most in the offseason to improve his game.
CLNSRadio: Did it shock you when you first heard that you where getting traded to the Rays for James Shields?
Wil Myers: Two years ago, there were some trade talks going around with the Braves. The Royals called me and told me it wasn't true and this offseason, they said if both teams fit, a trade could happen and the trade did fit both teams. Then it was made.
CLNSRadio: How has your transition been from being traded from the Royals to the Rays so far?
Wil Myers: It's been great. The Rays are a great organization and everyone here has been very welcoming to me. All the coaches and players are great. I felt like I couldn't have been traded to a better organization.
CLNSRadio: How do you feel like your fitting in with this team (Durham Bulls) offensively and with your offensive approach so far?
Wil Myers: In the beginning of the year, it was a little slow obviously with the power numbers but I feel like my swing is finally coming around. My approach is getting better and I haven't swinging the bat too well now. Other than that, I feel good at the plate and overtime it (hitting approach) will get to where it needs to be.
CLNSRadio: Have you noticed a difference from the Pacific Coast League and the International League in terms of the pitching and hitting?
Wil Myers: The pitchers and players are all the same but the ballparks (in the PCL) are a little easier to hit in because the wind blows out and the air is a little more thinner there. Other than that, it's not much of difference.
CLNSRadio: How has the transition been for you been for since converting from catcher three years ago to outfield?
Wil Myers: It's fine because outfield is really the easiest position to learn. I feel like it is going good and I am taking better routes while getting my work in during batting practice to get reads on the ball. Overall, I think it is going pretty well.
CLNSRadio: What do you think you worked on most this offseason to improve on for this season?
Wil Myers: I worked on my defense a lot more and on my speed. Those were the two things in my game that were subpar. I did a lot more running and sprints then taking some more reads early in the offseason off the bat.
CLNSRadio: Which player did you model your game up while growing up?
Wil Myers: I didn't really have one person that I really modeled my game after because I didn't really follow major league baseball that much. I was a big sports guy but didn't really follow one particular player growing up. I liked Chipper Jones being in North Carolina and the Braves being in Atlanta but I was a big UNC Basketball fan.
CLNSRadio: Thoughts on the AL East overall?
Will Myers: The AL East is really good. The Red Sox are a pretty good team and are in first place right now. There are a lot of good players in the AL East so I think it will be a tough battle all the way till the end of the season.
CLNSRadio: Do you have that goal before the end of the season to reach the majors?
Wil Myers: I feel like it's everyone's plan that plays in Triple-A to be in the big leagues before the end of the year. Right now, I am not really focused on getting there to quick. I just want to go out and make sure before I get called up, I am ready and my overall game too.
CLNSRadio: What do you expect and what are some of your expectations if you do get called up to the majors this year?
Wil Myers: I just want to go out and help the team win. That's the biggest thing for me because that is what it is all about in the big leagues. I want to play the best I can.

Card suggestions:
Your deck's biggest weakness is that if your target for Polymorph disappears, you get set back a few turns.
You need a lot more cheap counterspells. Mana Leak and Deprive are too expensive for what you want. You should be Playing Spell Pierce, Dispel, and Spell Snare instead. And if you need a 2-mana counterspell, go with Remand instead.
As far as your Polymorph targets, there are a lot of good options in White, as it turns out. Raise the Alarm is cheap, and Timely Reinforcements against aggro decks is not suspicious of Polymorph shenanigans. You also get Elspeth instead of Garruk in White. Also, Inkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, and Mutavault are good lands to play as targets for Polymorph, and Wind Zendikon just seems silly.
For draw spells, See Beyond should be replaced by Serum Visions. Visions lets you look at more cards than See Beyond, which is what you want anyway. Also, you should replace Jace Beleren with Compulsive Research, because Research lets you see more cards than Jace will, by the time you want to combo out.
With your lands, having lands like Halimar Depths that always come into play tapped is a huge drawback. You want to be playing Misty Rainforest to find your Breeding Pools.
I'm not 100% sure how to help with sideboard, but you will definitely want cards to hate out Affinity, Storm, Splinter Twin, Melira Pod,

Hi Adafruit,
I bought the 2.8 TFT breakout board and I have got some problems with the screen, although I followed your tutorial.
I connected the screen like it is said in the tutorial, I renamed the two libraries to "Adafruit_TFTLCD" (I commented out the line: #define USE_ADAFRUIT_SHIELD_PINOUT) and "Adafruit_GFX". The libraries are placed in the arduino libraries folder.
I loaded up the code "graphicstest" to my arduino UNO but the screen does not show any graphics.
I will show you a photo of the wiring.
Please excuse, my English is not very good, I am from Germany.
Please help, I really want to use the sreen.

Universally Balanced Combinatorial Optimization Games
This article surveys studies on universally balanced properties of cooperative games defined in a succinct form. In particular, we focus on combinatorial optimization games in which the values to coalitions are defined through linear optimization programs, possibly combinatorial, that is subject to integer constraints. In economic settings, the integer requirement reflects some forms of indivisibility. We are interested in the classes of games that guarantee a non-empty core no matter what are the admissible values assigned to the parameters defining these programs. We call such classes universally balanced. We present characterization and complexity results on the universally balancedness property for some classes of interesting combinatorial optimization games. In particular, we focus on the algorithmic properties for identifying universally balancedness for the games under discussion.

Overwhelmingly Americans Back Raising the Minimum Wage
Three quarters of the country believe the federal minimum wage should be increased. From Gallup:
The idea has strong support across the board. It has the support of 91 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of Independents and even 58 percent of Republicans.
The poll also found 69 percent would support raising the minimum wage to $9 an hour and have it automatically increase in the future based on inflation. This idea has slightly less support because indexing the minimum wage is noticeably less popular with Republicans.
In general raising the minimum wage is a popular issue with real political resonance. It is a smart political move that Democrats seem to be making a part of their 2014 efforts.

Play looks at the intersection of politics and journalism through the eyes of two friends--a member of Parliament and his former campaign manager, now a journalist--who find themselves on opposite sides when the former's assistant and mistress is found dead. State of Play is currently running on BBC America.


text: Asura's Wrath is pure cacophony by design. The English dub is decent, but the script clearly isn't meant to be heard in the English language. That's okay, though: 95% of our hero's speech is incoherent screaming. Still, you have the option to choose the Japanese dub, which is certainly welcome. The biggest problem with the audio is the lack of balance in the mixing. Explosions and sound effects completely drown out most of the dialogue; this wouldn't be a problem if the player had the option to adjust individual sound levels. The soundtrack is excellent, however; nobody will mistake this game for anything that doesn't deal with Japanese mythology. Vocalizations mix with traditional Japanese musical instruments to deliver something that is truly unique in the game space.

Holmberg receives Breaking Barriers Award
Mary Holmberg received the 2013 Breaking Barriers Award at the 27th Annual Minnesota Girls and Women in Sports Day, Wednesday at the Minnesota State Capitol.
She is pictured with Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve (left). Reeve was on hand to receive a Special Merit Award at the same event.
Holmberg has coached the Tiger softball team since starting the program in 1980. Along the way, she has racked up 482 wins, taking the Tigers to six state tournaments.
Holmberg also coached girls' basketball at various levels, starting as an assistant coach in 1979.
As Morris Area's Athletic Director for 17 years, Holmberg helped get the girls' swimming and diving and Morris Benson Area girls' hockey programs started.
She also served as the Minnesota State High School League 6AA Athletic Director Representative. She has been a member of several MSHSL advisory committees.
She was named the Morris Area Teacher of the Year and Region 6AA Athletic Director of the Year.
For many years, Holmberg worked with Marv Meyer as Special Olympics coaches and organizers.
Holmberg credits Morris Principal Wally Behm and Superintendent Fred Switzer for their help in getting the softball program going. She is also grateful to former athletic directors Truman Carlson, Bob Mulder, and Mike Martin. She appreciates the assistance given by Superintendent Dennis Rettke, who hired her as AD, and current Superintendent Scott Monson. Mark Ekren took over when she stepped down as athletic director and nominated Holmberg for the award.

beers 6368 º places 233 º 14:58 Tue 4/23/2013
Early next week, I am taking part in a sake and sushi dinner at a local sushi restaurant. The restaurant is a high end sushi establishment and the owner gets fresh fish daily. The sake person is supposedly very knowledgeable and will be bringing some sakes that are not yet available in the US.
I have never tasted sake for rating it but you are in for a treat. Please savor each moment and tell us everything. Sake will knock you on your ass. It's so hard to find good sake even in the liquor store. Some the draft sakes are ok but some are crap. Usually when you go out, you are stuck with your ignorance and whatever is offered. I've never rated a sake but I will.
beers 6130 º places 345 º 09:02 Wed 4/24/2013
I don't think you need to do anything to prepare, just have an open mind. Sushi and sake generally pair very well. Let us know what you think.
might also want to put this in the japan forum.living in osaka,i get to go to "sake and sushi"places quite often,but do not know much.your "prep" should probably be similar to how you usually prep for white wine and fish meal.
So how was it? Which kinds of sake should we look for? Were you a lot drunker than you expected? I find sake to be delicate and deceptive.
beers 10689 º places 747 º 04:59 Sat 4/27/2013
I would be interested in the pairing aspect. I mean, I can imagine different types of sake going better with different types of sushi, but have never seen anything like that. It could be very interesting. Daiginjo with a subtle thing like...yellowtail? Genshu with eel, What with squid? ginjo? Interesting concept.
beers 10689 º places 747 º 04:25 Mon 4/29/2013
Can we get a report here?

The sushi side was phenomenal, but the sake pairing was a big letdown as most of it was just a bunch of Ozeki products.
beers 10689 º places 747 º 16:25 Thu 5/2/2013
Was there even some attempt to match the temperature of the sake with the dish?

That reminds me of a Pairing thing put on by a local supermarket in my home town in Canada. They were pairing all these rather good cheeses with Corona, Heineken, Coor and a couple other fancy "imported" beers. My friends and me saw the advertising for the event and laughed our asses off.

Over time, most laptop features that draw oohs and ahhs gravitate down to budget models, making their presence passe.
That hasn't happened with backlit keyboards—at least, not yet.
Few features telegraph a premium laptop more than keyboard backlighting. Like so many things, Apple has a lot to do with it: More than any other laptops, Cupertino's MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs have made illuminated keys a big, lust-worthy checklist item for laptop shoppers. While key lighting isn't exclusive to expensive machines, the best laptops with backlit keyboards are typically midrange or high-end gaming machines, or premium thin-and-light models. That means you can expect to pay upward of about $800—with a few exceptions—for a good backlit machine.
As you shop, you'll typically see two kinds of key backlighting: single-color "fixed," and multicolor programmable. The former is by far the most common—and frankly, the most practical. The latter you'll typically see only as a perk on gaming laptops.
Backlit Keyboards: The Basics
When you're shopping for a backlit-keyboard laptop, you'll want to evaluate the laptop as a whole first—don't let the keyboard sway you right out of the gate. However, once you've settled on several machines that fit you on price, performance, and specs, look for info specific to the backlighting traits in expert reviews. Even better, view the machines in person, if you can. Not all backlighting implementations are created equal.
When checking out the backlighting, here are the main things to look for…
ADJUSTABILITY. Does the laptop offer manual control over the backlight brightness? The brightness-level adjustment might be a key-combination press, or you might merely get a simple on/off control. A few models have ambient-light sensors that auto-adjust the keyboard brightness according to where you're using the laptop.
LIGHTING BLEED. This item you can gauge only by looking at a machine (or reading an unbiased review). Some keyboards, especially ones with non-"island"-style keyboards, show significant light leakage around the edges of the keys; others have the lighting well-contained under the key, with the illumination shining only through the individual transparent legends atop each key.
Bleed isn't necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, some buyers might appreciate the extra light shining through, if they tend to work in the dark. But know that there's a big difference between, say, the clean, isolated-looking green lighting on the keys of the 2013 Razer Blade and the way light spills through most non-island keyboards.
PROGRAMMABILITY. This mainly applies to the elaborate multicolor keyboards used in premium gaming laptops from makers such as Alienware and MSI. A few models from these folks, such as the Alienware 17 and MSI GT70, include keyboard-backlight utilities that let you program the keyboard in a near-infinite choice or combination of colors, with subsets of keys or key zones that you can light individually.
KEY STYLE AND DEPTH. Beyond the backlighting, don't forget about actual typing comfort. The key layout and vertical travel are tough to assess unless you try a keyboard in person. Still, you'll want to make sure you're comfortable with the layout style of the machine.
"Island" keyboards have separation between each of the keys, while conventional keyboards employ a layout with the keys pushed up against each other. As for vertical travel, what's comfortable for you may be too shallow for others; trying out the individual machine before you buy is always good policy. Though it's not an absolute, the thicker the laptop, the more vertical travel you'll tend to get. (Ultrabooks tend to have the shallowest travel, gaming laptops the most.) Buyers fussy about keyboard feel and also seeking a gaming laptop might want to give the MSI GT series machines a try; with keyboard tech sourced from SteelSeries and loads of customizability, these are among the best backlit laptop keyboards we've tried. Among productivity-focused laptops, the keyboards in Apple's MacBook Air and Pro excel in feel (though the Air's keyboard is shallow), as does the reliably comfy ThinkPad keyset in the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
Of the dozen machines below, use these as a browsing start point—not an absolute ranking. After all, they are a mix of power laptops (the MacBook Pro with Retina Display), a few productivity-focused models, and lots of gaming machines. Also know that several of these models come in other (mainly smaller) screen sizes; we concentrated here on models 13 inches and above.
Apple MacBook Pro (15-Inch Retina Display, 2012 Version)
Our Verdict: An incredible, super-high-resolution screen lifts Apple's 2012 flagship laptop to a pinnacle for video and graphics professionals—who'll be too wide-eyed to blink at its $2,199 price. Read Our Review
Alienware 17
Our Verdict: Sporting a fresh albeit familiar design and featuring the latest processor and graphics technology, the Alienware 17 is an excellent choice for a mid-range gaming notebook. Like most 17-inch gaming rigs, it's big and heavy. Read Our Review
Apple MacBook Air (13.3-inch, 2013 Version)
Our Verdict: The MacBook Air's screen and chassis haven't changed since last year, in a time when some other laptops have gone lighter and higher-res. But with the 2013 Air, Apple still delivers the smackdown, with 12-hour real-world battery life. Read Our Review
Samsung Series 7 Gamer
Our Verdict: With the Samsung Series 7 Gamer you get game-worthy performance and a full list of features, ranging from a first-class screen to a Blu-ray drive and backlit keyboard, all at a reasonable price. Read Our Review
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Our Verdict: The thinnest and lightest ThinkPad we've seen, this 3-pound, 14-inch ultrabook is pricey but perfect—okay, near perfect—for business execs and IT managers. Read Our Review
Lenovo IdeaPad Y500
Our Verdict: Wedge-shaped and well-rounded, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is an affordable gaming laptop that boasts excellent build quality, a unique and versatile optical drive/second graphics adapter bay, and the ability to pull double duty as a content-creation rig. Read Our Review
CyberPower FangBook X7-200
Our Verdict: The CyberPower FangBook X7-200 delivers game-worthy frame rates at a price that won't send you off the fiscal cliff. It's stocked with high-end components and offers a generous feature set, though like most 17-inch gaming rigs, it's big, heavy, and a bit of a power hog. Read Our Review
Sony VAIO Pro 13
Our Verdict: A few minor design issues aside, Sony's VAIO Pro 13 is an excellent ultrabook that's extremely light and quite long-lasting. If you don't mind its high price, it's a great travel-friendly PC for productivity and entertainment. Read Our Review
Razer Blade (2013)
Our Verdict: Just 0.66 inch thin and 4.1 pounds, this souped-up slimline delivers genuinely game-worthy frame rates in an amazingly portable package. If James Bond went to LAN parties, he'd carry the Razer Blade. Read Our Review
Toshiba KiraBook
Our Verdict: Toshiba launches a new luxury brand with an ultra-high-resolution ultrabook (think MacBook Air Retina). The view is alternately spiffy and squinty, but the rest of the design dazzles. Read Our Review
MSI GT70 (Extreme Edition, Core i7-4930MX)
Our Verdict: With brand-new, top-of-the-line Intel and Nvidia components, as well as a triple-SSD boot drive, the Extreme Edition of MSI's GT70 is one seriously scorching performer for games and work alike. Note, though, that lesser models of the GT70 offer the same graphics muscle for much less money. Read Our Review
Asus Republic of Gamers G750JX-DB71
Our Verdict: The Asus G750JX is a 17-inch gaming laptop that uses the latest Intel Core i7 and Nvidia GeForce graphics hardware to deliver solid performance and more than four hours of battery life. It's neither the fastest nor the flashiest rig around, but it gets the job done for under two grand. Read Our Review

Sewage Plant Fire Causes Foul Odor In Area Neighborhoods
A sewage treatment plant in Sheepshead Bay caught fire Tuesday night and required some 200 firefighters to bring the four-alarm blaze under control, officials said.
The blaze caused a foul stench to drift north across Brooklyn, officials said.
The fire began at about 7 p.m. at the Coney Island Sewage Plant at 2591 Knapp Street, according to Jim Long, a Fire Department spokesman.
"It was brought under control some time after 10 p.m.," Long said
No civilians were reported injured, Long said, but more than a dozen firefighters and police officers were being evaluated for smoke inhalation and treated for other minor injuries.
Fire officials said the plant's air filtration system was damaged and residents may detect a foul odor until it is fixed. They did not estimate how long the repairs might take.
Officials told the media there was little chance the fumes from the fire posed a health risk to nearby resident, but shortly after the blaze began, the Fire Department asked area residents to shut their windows for precautionary reasons, Long said.
"We did it to err on the side of caution," he said. "At the time, we didn't know what we were dealing with."
Several hours later, residents were allowed to reopen their windows because the fire was deemed "unhazardous," Long said.
Despite reassurances, several people described the ordeal of extremely thick smoke billowing through the neighborhood and several residents remained worried about long-term health consequences.
Officials said 50 Fire Department units and other emergency agencies responded.
The cause of the fire, at the 113-year-old sewage treatment plant, had not been determined, nor was it considered suspicious, last night, according to Fire Department and City Department of Environmental Protection officials, but is under investigation.
They said the plant remained in operation throughout the evening, eliminating the risk that raw sewage would be discharged into the ocean.
Charles Sturken, a spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection, said the fire had broken out in a system designed to control odors from the plant. The system is composed in part of carbon filters, which are difficult to put out once they catch fire, he said.
Sturken said the plant, which opened in 1890, was the oldest in the city and one of the oldest in the nation, and is used to treat sewage and storm runoff from most of central Brooklyn. He said the plant was rebuilt in 1996 to include the odor-control system that was ablaze Tuesday night.
He said the biggest risk of a fire at a sewage treatment plant involves chlorine, which is used in the chemical process that transforms sewage into effluent clean enough to release into public waterways. If the chlorine caught fire, it would pose far more serious health hazards.
But Sturken said last night that no chlorine had been released into the air, and that the most severe threat concerned whether the odor control system on the plant would be quickly restored to normal use.
Until it is, he said residents of the area might be forced to endure an odor of sulfur — or rotten eggs — from the plant.
He added that the odor problem was complicated by this week's excessive humidity.

January 18, 2009
January 16, 2009
No matter how you slice it, I love sports. I love the NBA, with my passion being the Boston Celtics. When I die and go to heaven, dress me in Green. I'll do a little One on One with Michael, Magic, and Lebron. I'll keep the hardwood hot until they get there. I love the Sox..My favorites are/were Reggie Smith, Jim Ed (Yeah.....Finally), Oil Can Boyd and Big Papi. This means, of course that I hate the Yankees. Twenty Six World Championships is Great, but only 6 of them were in the last 31 years. and ZERO since 2000. I like to count the 32 World Championships by Boston sports teams and 6 of them since 2001 in my list of memorable team achievements. Six World Champions out of 32 possible titles since 2001, with 3 more likely/possible in 2009. That's 25% according to anyone's math.
Ummm...only one out of seven...as a prognosticator of character you failed.
#1 I am a HUGE NASCAR fan, yes.
#2 I live in Maryland and have only passed through AZ to buy weed in Mexico. I heard Dr. King speak at a rally in Montgomery County, Maryland as a child. Inspiring, he deserves a day if only for that.
#3 I am a Ravens fan, we hate the Steelers, so, my enemy's enemy is my friend. Go Cards!
#4 Rickey Henderson was one of the greatest Baseball players to ever cleat-up. If I was starting a fantasy team he would be my first pick as my leadoff hitter. Although anecdotes about 'Rickey being Rickey' are entertaining, he was not funny on the field.
#5 Brett Favre? I'm absolutely dying to hear you explain how you came up with that one!
#6 I said "THAT movie" ...not "MY movie". Try again.
#7 I'm happy to be here on B/R, I'm proud of what the boys have done with it, as far as being a "proud member", not so much...I'm just here. As far as B/R being "Lame"...why do you feel that way? What about it seems "lame" to you?
So...what have we learned? Hopefully that initial perception is seldom reality and our first 'guess' at someone's intentions are usually wrong.
So here is my guess about you;
#1 You hate white people...which makes you a racist.
#2 You're of average intellect at best because you see dissension among you comments on B/R as racism.
#3 You grasp at the fact that Obama's skin is dark, making him a black man in your eyes, when the reality is that he is half white and half Luo...making him multi racial...and you, a desperate racist.
#4 You love a BoSox Left Fielder who finally made the HoF but with iffy numbers compared to the white players preceding him both on the BoSox and the HoF position...but you want the controversy to be about race, you beg for it to be.
So...how'd I do?
Now, usually what happens is, the new B/R writer with an AGENDA who has been 'spanked' by counterpoints in both his work and inhis commentary, usually those writers tuck tail and slip back into oblivion, they feel B/R is "LAME" because no one supports their AGENDA or someone argues with them and...boom, they quit, they leave and they never come back, thus B/R is "LAME" and so are the non AGENDA jumping members.
WAHHHH, crybabies they are.
So...which kind of newbie are you?
Are you going to tuck tail and run like an ass whipped dog and hide under the porch?
Or are you the kind of guy who thinks "I might be wrong about these people and this website, maybe I'm hasty to judge and poor in my initial perceptions of people because I carry a latent bias of my own...maybe I should stick around and keep writing great politically charged sports articles for people to read just to see a reaction".
So, which is it punk, are feeling lucky?
I love the Celtics too, and having grown up in Charlotte, I am a huge fan of Cedric Maxwell, for life. I see in your bio that you are a Can Fan, and so am I. When he was on, man, he was ON. No Sox pitcher was ever more fun to watch, unless it was Luis Tiant.
I loved your Jim Ed, MLK, Barack Obama article. This site is in desperate need of insightful stuff like yours. Bring it ON!

European Company Law: what way forward?
The European Commission has launched yesterday an in-depth consultation on the future of European company law. Europe needs a company law framework that is adapted to the needs of the society of yesterday and to the evolution of the economic environment. EU company law has played a central part in building the single market. It is now time to see whether yesterday's needs are still met by the existing legal framework. An on-line public consultation paper has therefore been launched to collect comments from all stakeholders. The deadline for sending contributions is 14 May 2012.
European company law provides a common set of rules that offers equivalent protection to shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders across the EU who are affected by companies' actions. Company law is crucial to ensure legal certainty and protect shareholders' rights. Whilst Member States different legal traditions and company structures must be respected, harmonisation of the basic rules makes it easier for companies to offer services and products to all customers in the Union. The growth of cross-border trade and the development of e-commerce present many opportunities for businesses and consumers but they also present challenges for the existing company law framework. That is why reflection on how to adapt the existing framework to the new landscape of the 21st century is necessary. Moreover, today's challenges require us to look at company law not only from a purely legal perspective but in the wider context of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and businesses' key role for innovation and growth.
Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: "Shaping EU policy on European Company law is a challenge that we have to meet. Getting company law right makes it easier for businesses to develop across the EU to the benefit of their shareholders and customers. The landscape for company law is changing and we need to think about how best to adapt our regulatory framework. That is why I invite stakeholders to respond to the public consultation launched today."
What does the public consultation cover?
Input is requested both on the general orientation of European company law and on more specific initiatives that could be envisaged in the future. The following issues are covered in the consultation:
Objectives and scope of European company law – What should be the main objectives of European company law? Are the current rules fit for today's challenges? In which areas is there need for further evolution? What relationship between company law and corporate governance?
Codification of European company law – should the existing company law Directives be merged in a single instrument in order to make the regulatory framework more accessible and user-friendly?
The future of company legal forms at European level – What are the advantages and shortcomings of European company forms? Do existing company forms need to be reviewed? Should alternative instruments be explored?
Cross-border mobility for companies – What can be done to facilitate the cross-border transfer of a company's seat? What if a company splits into different entities cross border? Should the rules on cross border mergers be reviewed?
Groups of companies – i.e. a set of companies under a single management or source of control – Is there need for EU policy action in this field?
Capital regime for European companies – Should the existing minimum legal capital requirements and rules on capital maintenance be modified and updated?
What are the next steps?
The consultation is open until 14 May 2012. The responses received will be analysed and a feedback statement summarising the results will be published. Follow-up actions would be taken afterwards.
Background information
The existing European level legislation on company law includes a large number of directives and regulations. The harmonisation of European company law covers the protection of interest of shareholders and others, the constitution and maintenance of public limited-liability companies' capital, takeover bids, branches disclosure, mergers and divisions, minimum rules for single-member private limited-liability companies, shareholders' rights and related areas such as financial reporting and accounting. It also includes different European legal forms such as the European Company (SE), the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) and the European Cooperative Society (SCE).
In 2011, the Commission issued a similar public consultation in the field of corporate governance (see IP/11/404). Both policy fields are closely linked as some corporate governance rules are enshrined in company law, and company law deals to a large extent with corporate governance issues. Thus, for the sake of coherence, any possible follow-up initiatives in these two fields would be announced jointly in the second half of 2012.
The consultation is accessible at:

Klein Oak hands Dekaney first loss of season
Updated 5:48 pm, Saturday, October 8, 2011
Dekaney coach Willie Amendola said he wasn't surprised by the legs of Klein Oak quarterback Connor McQueen, brought in to manage games four weeks ago while Nicky Baratti roamed around.
But even he'd have to raise an eyebrow at this - McQueen had more rushing yards than Texas A&M-bound running back Trey Williams until he broke loose for a long touchdown run in garbage time. With McQueen rushing for 115 yards and a score, the Panthers completed their dramatic three-week run through the ranks of the unbeaten with an emphatic 38-6 win Saturday at Klein Memorial.
"That's something most people don't know about me," said McQueen, who's listed at 5-10, 175 pounds. "I really don't look that athletic or that fast, but I can surprise some people sometimes."
Williams had 20 carries for 62 yards until his 53-yard touchdown run on his final carry, giving the Wildcats their only points with 2:26 left in the game. He finished with 21 carries for 115 yards.
That late run didn't change the bottom line - the Panthers (4-2, 3-0 in District 13-5A) were dominant on defense to send the Wildcats (5-1, 2-1) to their first loss of the season.
Trending High School Sports Video
It seemed just about every Panthers defender had at least one tackle for loss. Williams was stopped behind the line of scrimmage four times. The Wildcats never reach the Klein Oak red zone.
Dekaney QB D'Juan Hines had it particularly hard.
He lost three fumbles, leading to 14 points for the Panthers, was sacked six times and intercepted once. Blake Ashford and Austin Ondrej had 1 ½ sacks apiece. Cody Spiegelhauer had the pick.
Hines finished 7-of-13 passing for 40 yards, and the Wildcats managed just 135 total yards and five first downs.
"They taught us a lesson, they got after us pretty good, and the turnovers in the first half didn't help us," Amendola said.
The Panthers rolled up 410 yards and 23 first downs on offense.
Big fullback E.J. Fatu supplied the highlight, hurdling Kenja Hogan on an 18-yard TD run in the second quarter. McQueen's 8-yard TD run later in the period gave the Panthers a 24-0 halftime lead.
McQueen also threw a short scoring pass to Tuff McClain. He completed 7 of 16 passes for 67 yards.
"We've just gotten in a rhythm, gotten on a roll, and everything's just been going great," McQueen said.
After falling out of the Class 5A area rankings with a 1-2 start, the Panthers have reeled off consecutive wins over Klein Collins, Klein Forest and Dekaney - all undefeated and highly ranked at the time.
"We learned a lot of lessons those first three games," Klein Oak coach David Smith said. "We saw what we could do against A&M (Consolidated), and then we had injuries attack us, and we said, 'What are we going to do about it?'
"Well, we're going to regroup, we're going to put it back together and we'll be ready for district play, and hey, it worked.
"I'm glad something I said worked."

Bristol Palin: Humbled by Haiti
Saturday, December 18, 2010
Bristol Palin shares her recent Haiti experience with us and encourages everyone to donate to Samaritan's Purse. Via Facebook, she writes:
As some of you know, I was privileged to travel to Haiti last week with my parents, Greta Van Susteren and her husband John, and the Reverend Franklin Graham and his daughter Cissy. Rev. Graham's wonderful charity, Samaritan's Purse, provides faith-based assistance to those in need around the world; Haiti is one of those places in such great need.
Haiti is a nation in turmoil. It hasn't seemed to even begin to recover from January's devastating earthquake, and now it's fighting a cholera epidemic that is killing Haitians.
Samaritan's Purse is providing care through a gracious volunteer medical staff, wonderful volunteers, and the donations we can all help provide. Though poverty surrounds the Haitians, you can feel a sense of optimism from the children there. Coming from a wealthy country like the United States, visiting Haiti was such an eye opening experience. The people of Haiti are in my prayers, and hopefully are in yours as well.
If you can help Rev. Graham with his mission, please visit www.samaritanspurse.org. Thank you so much!

Monarchs of Shakespeare's Time
William Shakespeare was born on April 23rd 1564. He died on April 23rd 1616.
During Shakespeare's lifetime there were 2 major ruling families of the British Monarchy. The Tudor line ruled from 1485 to 1603 and the Stuart line began in 1603 and eventually ended in in 1714.
King Henry VIII ruled from 1509 t0 1547. This is before Shakespeare was born, but Henry VIII had several children that went on to be rulers, including Queen Elizabeth. King Henry VIII is know for having 6 wives. He also is famous for breaking with the Catholic Church and starting the Chiurch of England. He broke with the church after the pope reufsed to annul his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Henry VIII would eventually produce 3 future monarchs.
Queen Mary I
''Bloody Mary''
Queen Mary I ruled for only 5 years shortly before the birth of Shakespeare. She was the daughter of King Henry VII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. She was queen from 1553 to 1558. She restored England back to Roman Catholicism during her reign. During this religious change she had over 300 Protestants executed, earning her the nickname ''Bloody Mary''
Queen Mary did not leave any heirs, so the throne went to her half sister Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth was the ruler of the monarchy for most of Shakespeare's life. She took the throne in 1558 and ruled until 1603. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his second wife. Like her father Elizabeth was a Protestant. She supported the establishment of an English Protestant church. In 1588 her army defeated the Spanish Armada, which averted a possible invasion of England. Queen Elizabeth is also know as ''The Virgin Queen'' because she never married or had a child. She would only use the topic of her marriage as a ploy and treated it as an aspect of foreign policy. For a while she did seriously consider Fracois, Duke of Anjou as a possible suitor. She even wore an earring he had sent her. When she kept refusing to marry, Parliament wanted her to name her successor. She refused to name an heir for many years though. Eventually she agreed to an heir, James VI of Scotland. Throughout her reign Elizabeth was a supporter of the arts and enjoyed going to the theater. She also loved to ride horses and often went hunting. She died in 1603.
King James I was the other ruler of Shakespeare's life. He became King when he was named Queen Elizabeth's heir. He was originally the king of Scotland until he was named heir. When he ascended the throne Scotland and England were united and became one. King James continued the Golden age of Elizabethan literature and drama. It was under his reign that the King James Version of the Bible was created. It is still widely used today. King James rule was largely peaceful up to his death in 1625.

We make a pact with members of our military: Serve our country in uniform and we'll look after you when you come home.
The benefits we provide are modest in exchange for sacrifices that cannot be fully repaid. But we're proud of that commitment, and justifiably outraged that the Department of Veterans Affairs is falling far short of expectations.
Veteran Affairs Secretary Erik Shinseki's resignation was necessary. He was distracting from the real issues at the VA. With his departure, we can concentrate on solutions.
After allegations of misdeeds at VA facilities across the country, the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General confirmed what we already knew: wait times, falsified records and mismanagement led to potentially devastating circumstances for many veterans. This situation is appalling, and it was as preventable as it is tragic.
The VA, Congress and the White House received warnings about unacceptable wait times. A 2008 report by the VA Office of Inspector General recommended the Obama administration investigate discrepancies in wait times, warning that reported wait times should not be trusted. In 2010, a memo from the VA deputy undersecretary listed more than a dozen inappropriate scheduling practices at medical facilities. And in 2012, the Government Accountability Office reported that VA's reporting on medical appointment wait times was unreliable, outdated, easily manipulated and in need of a complete overhaul.
In the midst of this, a veteran facing endless wait times at the Phoenix VA sought help from my office. When my staff contacted the VA, they, too, struggled to receive timely responses. No veterans should need a congressional office to access the benefits they sacrificed so much for in the first place. The fact that they did demonstrates a lack of transparency, accessibility and accountability.
Clearly, the VA can be salvaged only through significant reforms. But it is a system worth saving. It's time for significant reforms, starting with proper funding and leadership.
Scheduling and wait-time problems stem from chronic understaffing. The Phoenix VA urology department, which has enough estimated demand for four full-time urologists and four midlevel staffers, has been relying on just one full-time and one part-time urologist. Together, with a physician assistant and a nurse practitioner, they are responsible for treating an estimated 3,000 prostate cancer patients. Sadly, this scenario is playing out at VA facilities throughout the country.
The VA also needs more funding. Each year, a collaboration of Veterans Service Organizations releases the Independent Budget, which proposes funding levels intended to meet the needs of our veterans. The Congressional Progressive Caucus introduced the Better Off Budget that met their calls for increased funding. But unfortunately, Congress has not acted on these proposals.
Finally, our choices as a nation matter, too. We chose to go to war and not implement a funding mechanism to care for veterans at that time. Republicans routinely rejected proposals for a surtax to help guarantee adequate funding for veterans. Similar taxes were implemented during World War II and the Vietnam War, but were rejected in recent years.
With 1.5 million new veterans returning after more than a decade of wars, we cannot wait any longer. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont recently said, "If you think it's too expensive to take care of our veterans, then don't send them to war." I cannot agree more. Sen. Sanders is proposing legislation to increase accountability and improve veterans' health-care benefits, education and jobs training programs. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting his efforts.
We must be clear-eyed about the nature of these problems. With more than 90 percent of veterans reporting good medical care through the VA, proposals to privatize these services misdiagnose the problem.
Instead, we must provide the staff and resources we know the VA needs. We need strong reforms that require accountability, yearly audits, independent reviews and systemwide transparency. That's the only way to fix the system and fulfill our promise to our veterans.

Should John Lennon's killer be set free?
Mark Chapman was jailed for life for murdering former Beatle, John Lennon. Under New York state law a minimum sentence of 20 years was set, but his first application for parole has been turned down.
Chapman still receives hate mail on a daily basis and remains in isolation for his own protection. Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, says she would fear for her safety if Chapman were to be released.
But Chapman argues that he has overcome the psychological problems that led to his crime. He says he just wants to lead an ordinary life.
Mark Chapman's next chance for parole will be in two years. Should he be set free or is his crime still too fresh in many people's minds?
This debate is now closed. Your reaction:
Surely the humblest victim of murder is no less a human than somebody famous. So if many murderers are judged to have served their sentence and are released on parole then this case should be assessed no differently.
A man who could kill a star who had just signed an autograph, should never be released. In fact, he shouldn't have been born in the first place. Society should make sure that mistake remains corrected forever.
James K, England
This man thrives on publicity. If he is freed he will be immortalised when somebody guns him down. Keep him in jail so we can forget about him for another 20 years.
He should be set free in Liverpool at 11pm on any Friday night.
Whether Chapman is receiving threats or hate mail should have absolutely no bearing on any determination of his stay in jail - since when do authorities automatically incarcerate people who have received threats?
Whether the killing is still fresh in people's minds is also totally irrelevant. Are we saying that crimes committed against celebrities are to be treated differently to those against the rest of us?
Gunnar, Sweden
Rest in Peace, John Lennon.
Thank you for inspiring my music career.
Genius aside, John was a father and husband. Mark Chapman destroyed more than a rock legend, he destroyed a family. What I find sad is your European viewpoint that "lunatics" would want to shoot this animal. He is lucky that the crime was committed in New York, one of the most liberal US States. I think that is unfortunate. If the crime had been in Texas or Florida, this discussion would not be taking place. Mark Chapman would have been executed long ago. Nothing short of what he deserves.
Mark Chapman was found guilty in a court of law of first-degree premeditated murder.
That is the bottom line. No apologies or excuses regarding psychological rehabilitation will ever bring back the human life that Mr Chapman knowingly took. He should
remain in jail for the rest of his life to contemplate that he alone is responsible for
leaving two young children fatherless.
I think that every man deserves a second chance. We should not forget however that this man took the life of one of the most favoured musicians of all time. However he should get a second chance. If he is let out he should be placed under house arrest.
I think Mr Chapman should have had the death penalty passed on him a long time ago. He should never be released from prison. We could have learned so much more about music if Lennon was still alive and it might have changed the way music is today.
Sentence was for life. That explains it all. Why is parole an option?
I fear that Mark Chapman will be an American victim of the Myra Hindley syndrome. It's not about justice or rehabilitation it's about revenge. If there was the will then I'm sure that Chapman could be given a new identity etc
I am afraid that this man will not last longer than a week before he is murdered and he must know that prison is the safest place for him!
The parole board will have to weigh up a number of factors. I would certainly believe Chapman will be a marked man when released. I wouldn't give tuppence for his safety on the outside. The world is full of people who will be looking for him.
Paul R, UK
Lennon's killer shouldn't be treated any differently than any other murderer. If the justice system believes he has served his time and he is not a threat to the community, then he should be paroled. I feel that it is somewhat unjust that he can walk free, while Lennon, the genius, cannot.
Of course they should keep him locked up - if only to make sure some lunatic doesn't shoot him the moment he's out of jail. Still, if he survives once he's out, will he be coming over to the UK for a book-signing tour? I expect Mike Tyson's promoters are already talking to the Home Secretary about it...
Albert Devakaram, India
I don't think it would be much use. Apart from not being convinced that this man is suitable for freedom, I fear there will be plenty of lunatics about who want to be part of Beatle-history as well by shooting the killer of John Lennon.
He won't survive. He's safer in jail.
As much as I hate him for what he's done, I think John would not have wanted Chapman to spend the rest of his life in jail.
The chance of rehabilitation for Chapman, I think, would be slim if not nil. The whole of society needs protection, not just members of the Lennon family.
Adrian Smith, UK
I know too little about Mark Chapman to comment - why not let the judges decide? However, I do appreciate Ono's concern. She sure will be worried.
How can we release the robber of music, talent and genius? Chapman should rot in hell for what he has done. He doesn't deserve freedom, he stole John's away. Lennon Forever.
Chapman got life in prison and it should be exactly that! He wants to lead a normal life? What about Lennon's family, shouldn't they be able to lead a normal life?
This man is criminally insane. This fact alone should render his release an act of folly. The fact that he killed Lennon is besides the point, he should remain locked up.
One may say that he should been sentenced to death but if he is refused parole now it would appear that it is because of the fame of the person he murdered, not the crime itself. This would be immoral.
Mark Chapman should definitely not be freed. He took John Lennon's life and should have to suffer for this. He says he want to lead an ordinary life, but what about Lennon? His life was taken in an act of insanity. Bring back the death penalty I say.
Certainly, he should be released if he has served his sentence.
Why not? There are plenty of other murderers who do less time than this guy.
William H, UK
No murderer should ever be paroled.
Mark Chapman is bonkers - keep him locked up.
Personally, I'm grateful that
Lennon's career ended before the disastrous impact of the eighties on
pop music.
Paul, UK
I am a huge John Lennon and Beatles fan and still today the death of John Lennon haunts and saddens me.
Mark Chapman says he should be set free to live out his life peacefully. I doubt if he should ever been able to do this. However, by his actions not only did he destroy one of the world's greatest songwriters but denied both Julian and Sean, John's son's, the chance to get to know their father better. After all they are the only people apart from Yoko who deserve respect something that Mr Chapman will never achieve.
The murder of John Lennon was a premeditated and calculated act by Mark Chapman. The man should not get parole as he took a life and therefore we should take away his through imprisonment. The man might be a model prisoner and have repented, but it does not bring back the fact that he murdered somebody and caused immense pain to their family. Life should mean life, not just twenty years.
I don't see why he should be treated differently from any other killer. If his sentence has been served he should be released - the fact that his victim was famous doesn't make his crime worse than if he had killed anyone else.
For someone who deprived the world of a great musician, I'm surprised that he wants to leave prison and face the music.

The Federal Reserve has boosted its estimates of unemployment and lowered its outlook for economic growth for the next two years, according to U.S. news reports.
The unemployment rate, now 9.1 percent, won't come down significantly next year, according to the Fed's new estimates, the LA Times reports.
The Feb expects the jobless rate to be in a range of 8.5 percent to 8.7 percent in 2012, up from the previous forecast of 7.8 percent to 8.2 percent.
Meanwhile, economic growth is likely to be "frustratingly slow," Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said, with concerns about Europe contributing to "strains" in financial markets, Bloomberg reports.
According to The Associated Press, the central bank's latest forecast predicts that the U.S. economy "will grow no more than 1.7 percent for all of 2011" and between 2.5 percent and 2.9 percent for 2012.
Both forecasts are roughly a full percentage point lower than the Fed's projections from June.
"We did overestimate the pace of recovery," Bernanke said at a news conference following the Fed's two-day meeting.
(GlobalPost's Macro blog takes a broader view: The world according to America, Inc.)
The Fed didn't announce any new initiatives to help the economy, although Bernanke reportedly said: "We remain prepared to take action as appropriate to make sure the recovery continues."
Asked if the Fed would purchase more mortgage-backed securities to help the depressed housing market, Bernanke said that was a "viable option," the AP reports.
Reuters is reporting the "highlights" of Bernanke's press conference following the Fed's policy meeting on Wednesday.

Hi, I live in Northern Ireland and am learning to ride on a Driving (Car) license - its legal over here to buy a 125, insure as learner put L plates up and ride with no CBT test (there isnt one). IF I went on a weekend to Scotland would my NI license still allow me to ride a 125 without a CBT? As a tourist not a resident obviously.
Legal to ride 125cc in UK on NI Driving license?
Posts 2 | Views 445
as far as I can see
you would be ok in UK without CBT.
your licence is based on NI residence (thus you'd have to comply with NI rules, and not Eng / Scot / Welsh rules).
Obviously, if your planning to travel, double check your insurance (make sure it lets you travel here - I know my insurance has restrictions if I go from UK to NI / ROI).
Beware that for traffic offences there is mutual recognition between UK / NI - so points from speed cams etc CAN be applied to your licence, as well as any fines.
