"Heather and the rest of the Calluna Events team is an incredible joy to work with. As a wedding cinematographer, it's very important that things go smoothly throughout the day. Any changes in the schedule or order of events can be disastrous if all of your vendors aren't on the same page. Calluna Events never allows this to happen and are amazing at keeping everything working together, which in turn makes the wedding run smoothly and the bride and groom to be happy and enjoy the day!"
I've just been looking at the amazing pictures James took of Jessica's and Jeff's wedding and reliving every second of the journey. There are so many things that I want to thank you for that an email just doesn't seem sufficient.
Thank you for taking me aside Saturday and telling me to relax and leave everything to you. That from that moment on, I was a guest. Thank you for telling me to take a moment, step aside and take it all in. I hope that this is something that you routinely tell the mother of the bride because it was absolutely the best advice I could have received. It was a whirlwind of a weekend and I don't think I could have locked those memories in my mind without those words. I have a clear picture of the ceremony -- hearing "Somewhere in Time" played as Brent and I walked down the aisle, watching Jessica approach with her dad, hearing Richard's words and seeing how Jeff looked into Jessica's eyes. Having that moment to see the Gold Room before it came alive with people was something that I would not have thought of. It was so special and was as beautiful as Jessica imagined it would be. Every detail was captured.
Everyone was so happy at the cocktail party -- I can still see the faces of our family and friends and when they entered the Gold Room, everyone was in awe of the way the room glowed and began moving to the sound of the band. These are only a few of the moments that I will never forget. But what I remember most was how happy Jessica and Jeff looked throughout the evening.
Over the last couple of weeks, so many people have asked me how the wedding went and the only word I can use to describe it is "perfect". I can't think of a word that better describes the event and my personal experience. I hardly saw you or Gabby during the event but know you were working invisibly behind the scenes to make sure every detail was handled to perfection. If there were any hiccups along the way, I wasn't aware of them. You and Gabbie pulled off a seamless event and made sure that everyone had the time of their lives.
I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us. You are just fabulous and I am thankful that you and Jessica are friends.
We would hire Calluna again in a heartbeat. Beyond recommending the best vendors and being terrific to work with, they gave us the greatest gift -- we were able to completely enjoy our wedding day. They listened to us so well throughout the planning process that when our wedding weekend arrived, they took over all of the planning and logistics and allowed us to be fully present with each other, our family, and our friends. Not only were we happily and totally immersed in the celebration, but Calluna did such a fabulous job bringing our wedding vision to life. If any hiccups happened behind the scenes, we had no idea! It was the perfect wedding for us, and it certainly wouldn't have been the same without Heather and the Calluna team.
From Heather's initial involvement as a Committee Member on the Boulder Community Hospital to her planning and flawless execution of the annual Boulder Community Hospital Auxiliary Black Tie Gala, she has always left us in awe. Her commitment, dedication, and splendid creativity helped elevate our annual event and exceeded all expectations, year after year. Heather's extensive background in Non-Profit events was fully evident in her uncanny ability to leverage connections and maximize our budget. From the invitations to the décor to the food, Calluna Events created a buzz heard around town and our Black Tie Gala was sold out long before the event date. The challenge of working with a limited budget proved a small feat, as Heather allowed us to streamline our planning process and focus our attention on fundraising dollars. I would recommend Heather and her team for any and all future events and considered it an absolute pleasure working with Calluna.
"I can't endorse Calluna Events enough; because of them, I had the wedding of my dreams. My husband and I both love Boulder Colorado and wanted to be married there. We live in Louisiana and would not be back in Boulder until the week of our wedding, so we had a planning challenge on our hands. We also wanted a small and intimate wedding. We did not need full service wedding planning services- just assistance on an as-needed basis. Calluna Events was just what we needed. To them our little 20 person affair was just as important as a large 200+ guest wedding. I was connected with top-notch vendors and was provided with the best planner with whom I could discuss ideas. Spice Jones at Calluna was gem. She was responsive, knowledgeable, sweet, professional and a lot more. What I most enjoyed was HER! I felt like I had known her for years. Brides, please do yourselves a favor and call the gals at Calluna ASAP!"
I don't know what I would have done without Calluna Events. I personally worked with Heather and really appreciated her calm, steady approach compared to my crazed, "i-don't-know-what-to-do!!" approach to wedding planning. She really helped me think through everything and made sure the wedding day went by without any hiccups. I had great peace-of-mind leading up to and on my wedding day knowing Heather and Calluna Events was there. I highly recommend a wedding planner if you want to enjoy your wedding day and even more highly recommend Calluna Events as the wedding planner you should hire. - Breanna Doll - owner of anna bé bridal, denver, cohear from more happy clients

The new face of poverty: As recession lingers, poverty migrates to the suburbs
carman Wasatch Front, UTNov. 13, 2011 9:28 p.m.
The root of these problems is generally: 1) Spending - Too many spend way too much, too early in life, and then something goes wrong like in this case. If you aren't saving 15% of your income, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T AFFORD WHATEVER IT IS YOU THINK YOU WANT! Downsize the house, skip the cars and vacations, eat at home, skip the prepared foods, cancel the cable TV or satellite, skip the smartphone and expensive cell phone service, wear less expensive clothes, etc. 2) Education (reminder - a college degree is not what matters. What matters is if you have relevant skills. You will have to work hard to keep your skills current. This means evenings and weekends. Too many seek the leisure life and are unprepared as their career changes.)
C'mon people. We are borrowing too much, living too large, saving too little, investing too little in ourselves and generally living in la-la-land. Wake up, downsize and simplify. You will be much happier than your are now trying to keep up that image that you think you need.
Reasonable Person Layton, UTNov. 13, 2011 8:10 p.m.
If you are underwater and can keep paying your mortgage -- do so.
Lots of us were underwater when we first bought our homes; we were, for four years, in the mid-1970s. NOW, by staying in that same home, which was big enough for our small family then and nice enough for us now, we've gained a lot. The house is paid for, we live debt free.
A house is just a place to keep your stuff in.
Live in in.
Pay for it.
southmtnman Provo, UTNov. 13, 2011 4:29 p.m.
The recession being so wide-spread is the result of our economic model effectively putting all our eggs in too few baskets. This is done through Wall Street.
Whenever you buy goods and services from publically-traded companies, you are contributing to the consolidation of our economy into big business corporations (e.g. Walmart).
A resilient economy is a diverse economy. An economy that has a wide variety of providers of goods and services.
But when huge mega-conglomerate corporations monopolize an industry, it places too many eggs in a basket and puts us at risk for these kinds of economic downturns.
The answer?
1. Buy Local whenever you can.
2. Buy from "Mon-n-Pop" shops rather than big name-brand stores.
3. Buy from companies that reimburse their employees at a high rate, rather than from companies that try to operate "on the cheap" by exploiting employees and pocketing huge profits for owners.
4. If you are one of the families described in this article, and you know families like those described, team up with others in similar situations to exchange labor and professional services. Hire one another and barter as needed. Keep skills alive and relevant.

For those 20-50 yr olds(the instant gratification generation) this mess we are all in will not be solved overnight, so don't click your computers for magical and instant fixes. Now we are all going to learn a hard lesson and things will change but probaly not for at least 5 years. 5 years isn't much as for lifes duration. Just be sure not to make the same mistakes ever again.
Jack abramoff after serving a few years in the slammer for being on of the biggest corrupt lobyists insists that the lying, stealing paying off congressmen and all of the big business favoring payola is still happening as big as ever. We need to stop that and not electing one single incumbent politican will help along with moving what business you do to the small businesses and send a message to the big boys!
Red Salt Lake City, UTNov. 13, 2011 2:05 p.m.
Judging each other so harshly is not going to help the situation. We were all part of the problem to some degree.
The ones who have lost everything hopefully have learned and benefited from their mistakes.
Everyone who is not willing to help is just as in love with their money as those who overextended themselves.
Thank goodness for those people who are willing to help.
Thank you. Let's all work together to get through these hard times.
Sulking about things is not going to make you more attractive to anyone.
Keep your dreams alive.
Jeff Elhardt Salt Lake City, UtahNov. 13, 2011 12:20 p.m.
move to the smallest, cheapest dwelling you can tolerate.
Spread your loans out evenly in the garbage can and think back to how you lived before you were offered all the magical loans that inflated your wealth and ego.
Every now and again we get the chance to be harvested {get cash now!}. Skip a couple of cycles if you can.

But what can people who are caught in this trap do? One way out, but one which they have no experience in, is voluntary cooperatives of all types. This would be communism with a small "c." But this involves learning social skills which most of us don't have. Since this appears to be a mightly long recession such skills may be necessary. Note to LDS conservatives: cooperatives are an exmaple of self-reliance, mutual self-reliance, of which your church is an outstanding example.

Re: Doctor - Poeple didn't buy "more house than they could afford," but rather they thought housing was a fool-proof investment, and were told such by the "experts." Well, we know better now.
SSOLDMAN MONROE, UTNov. 13, 2011 10:43 a.m.
We are all one hospital stay away from poverty! I don't care who you are, very few people in America can afford a lingering illness, it will devistate you all financially. Lets say one serious illness one week in the hospital, $80,000, even with Medicare and a plan B insurance the out of pocket is $8,000. Social Security is $700 a month. My reality.
Your child gets sick,good health insurance pays 80%, $100,000 in cancer treatment. $20,000 out of pocket. Where will you come up with that on regular wages? You can't morgage your house, you have no equity, you can't take from your savings it is gone with the economy. You are beholding to the hospital for the rest of your life. Your reality.
Economic realities. Insurance companies making billions on our fears and illness, and we don't make THEM accountable. Instead our president wants socialized medicine?
You all scream about the price of gas, and of interest, and homes; how about the price of insurance, for individuals, hospitals, our government, etc... think about it?
Engineering Econ Loudon, TNNov. 13, 2011 10:32 a.m.
Yet how can we have it both ways? Low cost products with highly compensated U.S. workers building those products...It doesn't work that way. When we purchase a good or service, we are transferring financial power to those behind our purchase.
If we expect to be compensated more than others, then we need to produce more than others. If my 10 year old neighbor will mow my lawn for $5, am I wrong for employing him instead of the local lawn mowing company for $20? If I choose the neighbor kid then I have $15 more a week to purchase something else for my family. All of these people that say buy American have great intentions, and I try to do that when it makes sense. Yet if I can get the same quality product for half the cost, it is hard for me to choose the more expensive product. Doing so would lower my own standard of living because I will have less $ for other things. It's truly about comparative advantages and a portion of U.S. comparative advantages are hurt by government policies. However, a large part of the problem is essentially out of government control.
Engineering Econ Loudon, TNNov. 13, 2011 10:18 a.m.
I believe there are financially responsible, hard-working individuals who have lost their jobs. Many have a solid resume but the work isn't always there. I wish them the best in finding work. It's a good wake up call for all of us to be wise with our financial resources.
I believe one cause for our current economic environment is that our economy grew too fast because a large portion of product demand was created through credit. When too many people are accruing debt to purchase things, it becomes unsustainable. Businesses that expanded to meet the demand soon find the demand decreasing as people aren't able to continue borrowing money at the same pace.
Another cause is due to a globalized economy. When there are people in extreme poverty in other countries that are willing to build widgets for $0.50/hour, how can a U.S. company expect to compete? The positive is that some of these extremely poor people are improving their standard of living, but a negative consequence is that American workers become too expensive. Many of us look for the best deal in a purchase decision. Sometimes foreign labor is behind these good deals.
ulvegaard Medical Lake, WashingtonNov. 13, 2011 9:48 a.m.
I might even suggest it began before Bush even --- when politicians and elected officials stopped being public servants and started becoming career politicians. Republican, Democrat --- it pretty much boils down to the same thing. Granted, there are still a few honest public servants, but more and more, the policies are aimed at self preservation (their self preservation), notice how many bills don't get passed before recess EXCEPT the lets raise our salary bill.
Originally, the founding fathers instituted compensation for elected officials to sustain them while doing their public duty, until they could return to their farm and businesses. Not so any more and I realize times have changed, but the principals are the same -- and everyone who can has followed suit. If it makes me rich, I'm all for it. Who cares about the general populous - let them eat cake.
NeilT Clearfield, UTNov. 13, 2011 9:17 a.m.
I went back and re-read the article. There was no mention of how much they paid for their home or that they were overextended. A lot of assuming here. I purchased my home in Clinton for $165,000. It appraised for $180,000. I didn't consider that foolish. Now I upside down to some degree. I suppose that is my fault. I should have known better.
hapticz New York, NYNov. 13, 2011 7:45 a.m.
LOL, this not news. poverty has been in the 'burbs' since they existed, only hidden and carefully obscured by the greedy promoters of media and 'wonderful living'. even as we paint the world with beautiful pictures to avoid the unfeeling and caustic truths, the base issues remain, those of callous disregard for people with less need for power, money and control. those are the ones who live with true dignity.
where does any reputable news outlet come off with this nonsense? living with heads buried under the sands of time?
one old man Ogden, UTNov. 13, 2011 7:33 a.m.
Truth, if you want to see the TRUTH, please Google up "Policy Differences Under Two Presidents."
And A1994, would it be fair to say that you're just full of beans?
Please stop listening to Fox News. Maybe try (GASP) the PBS Newshour every evening.
one old man Ogden, UTNov. 13, 2011 7:30 a.m.
Doctor, could it be that just maybe they didn't overextend themselves given their circumstances at the moment?
Could it be that if Wall Street and Corrupt Politicians had not destroyed their jobs everything would have been just fine?
Or could it be that the lack of affordable medical care ruined them?
I sincerely hope you're not a medical doctor. If you are, then I'm thankful I'm not one of your patients.
Screwdriver Casa Grande, AZNov. 13, 2011 6:28 a.m.
Hey Doctor, how much house can someone afford with $0 after being laid off?
Many have sinned in not seeing the future. For shame. Good job kicking people when they are down and overcharging them when they are sick. I bet you won't see them at all now that they're broke.
common sense in Idaho Pocatello, idNov. 13, 2011 5:21 a.m.
You folks here are unbelievable. Everybody who's hurting bought a million dollar home while working at wal-mart. Then they lost their minimum wage job through their own stupidity.
Some people are unemployed because they got laid off through no fault of their own while renting an apartment. And guess what they are having a hard time finding work.
So how about a little Christian compassion here. Let's take what we have and share it with those less fortunate than ourselves.
Want a great Christmas?? Take what you would spend on gifts and give the money to the charity of your choice. Then you would truly know what Christmas is all about.
MyChildrensKeeper Taylorsville, UTNov. 13, 2011 4:43 a.m.
I'm getting tired of people blaming individuals for being forced in to loans they didn't want. During the money boil many home buyers were given bait and switch loans. Almost all home loans during this period was limited to what ever banks and mortgage companies forced on the home buyer. Banks didn't want the equity loans which turned out to be their downfall.
It's still not safe or wise to buy a home and you have to expect losing it if you do buy one. The economy is still in a recession, housing is no longer an american dream, it's become an american nightmare and its like buying a car, the first year is a $40,000 loss with depreciating value every year.
Poverty in the suburbs has been creeping in for over 35 years, when we went on the debt based economy of credit cards.
Speaking of poverty and education, what does Obama have to say about that? An isolated incident where 56% of theses isolated incidents are proof that education does not earn you and extra 500,000 in 40 years of work. Education and wealth are not synonymous.
A1994 Centerville, UTNov. 12, 2011 9:58 p.m.
See, that's the problem with the left. You guys consider THIS improvement. Unemployment under Bush averaged 5.5%. That is why he got elected twice. Yes, it went up toward the end of his presidency...as we entered a recession. Nobody is buying the line that Obama just hasn't had enough time. He is the most unqualified president we've ever had. Period.
As for the homeowners who got into the sub-prime loans and even those who just over-extended themselves, they knew how much money they were making. Yes, the mortgage companies bear some responsibility for offering those loans. But ultimately, YOU know what you make and how much you can spend. You can't go out and buy a new BMW that you can't afford just because the salesman at the lot said you could get financing.
I don't enjoy seeing people struggle and lose their homes. Nobody does. But there are consequences when you spend more than you make. That will never change.
Melanna Salt Lake City, UtahNov. 12, 2011 9:24 p.m.
"Recessions happen." agreed they do happen and they are out of the control of these homeowners so why blame the home owners that bought their homes in good faith thinking the economy would sustain itself and they would be able to pay for their homes?
under bush and the GOP the economy slowly at first then faster and faster got worse and worse. Under Obama the economy has slowly gotten better (slower then any of us would like perhaps but improving none the less). I think I would rather stay on the path of a slow recovery then a return to the failed GOP polices of the past but thanks.
A1994 Centerville, UTNov. 12, 2011 8:58 p.m.
Recessions happen. Barack just helped to make it worse. Seriously, TRUTH has a point. Bush hasn't been in office for three years. If Obama's economic policies were sound, things would be in a lot better shape. If you gave Obama another 4 years, unemployment wouldn't go down one bit. His economic policy wouldn't allow for it. He needs to be gone now and we need to get someone who knows what they're doing.
TRUTH Salt Lake City, UTNov. 12, 2011 8:27 p.m.
Bush hasn't been POTUS for three years.....
Obama has driven this car in the ditch...all by himself
Time for libs to move to the back of the bus!!
Doctor Tucson, AZNov. 12, 2011 7:30 p.m.
I didn't kick them when they were down. I called it like I see it. They way over extended themselves and knew it when they did it.
Melanna Salt Lake City, UtahNov. 12, 2011 7:29 p.m.
You know it was just those greedy homeowners that should have known that Georgie boy was going to trash or economy and that banks where going to bounce leading to the further destruction of the economy and the jobs these homeowners relied on to pay for those homes where going away. Greedy homeowners wanting a normal life.
A1994 Centerville, UTNov. 12, 2011 6:50 p.m.
Geez! Way to kick 'em when their down! A little harsh, don't you think? Yeah, in the last 15 years, people have taken EVERYTHING to the extreme. People wanted things that they couldn't afford and made commitments they couldn't keep. They have to take responsibility.
I think this is a good opportunity for America to downsize and get in better financial shape. We don't need to settle for mediocrity or a lower standard of living. But we do need to tighten up on the financial reigns.
My prediction is that there will be fewer Christmas present this year and maybe even fewer lights on the houses. I don't think it's a bad thing either. Isn't that how it used to be anyway? Simplified life IS the good life. I'd rather have a modest home, a modest car, a modest Christmas, with the occasional vacation and have peace of mind. That's where we need to go back to. There is no shame in cutting back and setting your house (even if it turns out to be an apartment for awhile) in order.
Doctor Tucson, AZNov. 12, 2011 5:31 p.m.
Greedy homeowners who bought more house than they could afford. The only excuse is ignorance and stupidity. People blame banks like MLM victims blame the fraudsters for offering them 50% returns.

Relationships! Why Are They So Hard? Here's A Tip!
Relationships can be challenging to say the least. Men and women are so different in many ways. I saw this on facebook and had to share it. I think it's very accurate! And often times, we women have to learn this lesson the hard way! Too funny!
Her Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong he said "Nothing" I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say "I love you too" when we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes, later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep-I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

So I wasn't using my tablet for quite a while( back in like February I booted it up again) after nearly 6 months of no use. I wasn't able to update at all for some reason, like update CM through the updater. So I wanted to reboot it into recovery and totally refresh it, because I was facing some buggy issues now and then. Just crashing apps. So I told it to reboot into recovery and now I can't get anywhere. If I hold volume down and the PWR, then it just reboots and does the same thing. Doesn't load or anything. So if anyone could please help it would be much appreciated. I really need this again for college.

Here's a new gameplay video (basically a slightly longer version of the E3 demo, but it's still awesome nonetheless ):
I'm happy to see Splinter Cell back (on the PS3 also! ), it's good to see that Sam is the boss of his own "4th Echelon" now (he only answers to the President), and it already looks quite a bit better than Conviction (they've taken the same sort of "action" formula but added all the stealth aspects that were missing from the previous game). Also, I'm proud to say that this game is being developed here in Toronto .
There is only one thing that I'm disappointed in; Michael Ironside, the voice of Sam Fisher ever since the first game came out in 2002 will not reprise his role. As a huge Splinter Cell fan, that was some shocking news to hear, but it is understandable (Ironside it too old to do the Mocap stuff).
Oh well, the game looks awesome and the new guy supplying the voice for Sam isn't too bad either.

Update: After one week, Leon Powe's playing days in Puerto Rico have come to a close after just four games. According to the San German Athletics team website, Powe apparently has a deal lined-up in the NBA but didn't discuss specifics. Powe averaged 7.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18 mintues per game during his stint in Puerto Rico
You can officially take Leon Powe's name off of the available NBA free agent list.
Next stop: Puerto Rico.
With talks last month between Powe — the former Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies 6-foot-8 forward — and the Chicago Bulls about strengthening their front line went to the way side, Powe has now taken his game to the eight-team BSN (or National Superior Basketball League as it's also known) by signing in Puerto Rico with the San German Athletics.
Powe joins a growing list of players who boast NBA experience, a rather eclectic combination of players who have come and gone in the league and those hoping for another shot at playing for an NBA franchise.
Along with Powe, the BSN features Al Thornton (Brujos de Guayama), Ricky Davis (Piratas de Quebradillas), Melvin Ely (Brujos de Guayama), Patrick O'Bryant (Vaqueros de Bayamon), Mike Sweetney (Vaqueros de Bayamon), Jerome James (Caciques de Humacao), Rashad McCants (Caciques de Humacao), Donta Smith (Vaqueros de Bayamon), and Julius Hodge (Caciques de Humacao) among its most notable players.
Consider Powe one of those guys who will be back in the NBA before too long.
At 28-years-old, Powe split last season between Cleveland and Memphis, appearing in 30 games and averaging 5.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in roughly 11 minutes per game. After tearing his ACL and meniscus during the 2008-09 season with Boston, has not yet regained the form that made him a standout player in Game 2 of the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, when he went for 21 points in 15 minutes of action.
Can the BSN be a springboard for Powe to jump back into the NBA next season? Time will tell. One thing is for sure: the league in Puerto Rico has suddenly become a haven for NBA vets and free agents.
In early February, Allen Iverson and the BSN engaged in exploratory talks about a possible deal that would lure the11-time NBA All-Star to the league. The league — which started league play last week in their 30-game season — reportedly pay their star talent and NBA types $20,000 a month, plus their living expenses.
It may not be the veterans' minimum or a free agent payday most of the guys are looking for in the NBA, but it beats not getting paid to play.
Iverson still doesn't have a job.
As for Powe, he's getting ready to settle in with the San German Athletics.

BERLIN – Sabine Lisicki's has been the Cinderella story of this year's Wimbledon.
The 23-year-old German player, ranked 24th in the world, had the upset of the tournament in the opening rounds, beating defending champion and favorite Serena Williams in three sets. On Thursday, the Berlin-born blonde with a serve so powerful that fans call her "Boom Boom," came back from 3-0 down in her third set to defeat Polish player Agnieszka Radwanska, the world's number four, to become the first German to compete in the finals at Wimbledon since seven-time winner Steffi Graf back in 1999.

It's the kind of come-from-behind, underdog narrative that sports fans love, and Saturday's final on German TV would be a guaranteed ratings magnet. But there is one problem: 21st Century Fox's satellite TV service Sky Deutschland has exclusive rights to the world's top tennis tournament.
With just 3.4 million subscribers, Sky is a minnow compared to Germany's big free-to-air channels, which reach more than 60 million homes across the country. The ratings for Sky's Wimbledon coverage has been comparatively small. Just 77,000 fans watched Lisicki defeat Williams, and some 140,000 tuned in on Monday when Germany's top male player, Tommy Haas, went down against the world's number one Novak Djokovic.
STORY: John McEnroe Adds Wimbledon to ESPN Duties
After Lisicki's historic win on Thursday, German public broadcaster ARD made an 11th hour appeal to Sky to buy the rights to the woman's final, Sky confirmed to German tabloid Bild. But, according to the paper, the offer wasn't good enough. ARD has declined to comment.
Sky's current deal for the the German Wimbledon TV rights ends with Sunday's final match day. A new three-year deal is then up for grabs.
While Saturday's final will be one for the German history books, it will likely also go down in Germany as one of the least-watched Wimbledon finals of all times.

Mr. BARROW. Mr. Speaker, I rise to ask my colleagues to join me in strengthening the Federal Recovery Coordination Program. Federal Recovery Coordinators were originally envisioned by the Dole-Shalala Commission as a way to help wounded warriors navigate the incredibly complex bureaucracy of the VA and Defense Department health systems.
Despite the initial successes of the program, administrative problems have prevented the program from reaching its full potential. That's why I've introduced legislation to address these problems.
My legislation codifies the Federal Recovery Coordination Program and places it under the joint jurisdiction of the Secretaries of Veterans Affairs and Defense. It will ensure that Recovery Coordinators have the authority to act on behalf of a veteran when they identify a need, and it ensures they have access to all stages of the recovery process, especially during the initial transition from active duty.
These reforms will help to strengthen this program and help us better serve the needs of our wounded veterans. I ask for my colleagues to join me in support of this legislation.

Christie Matrix STIM WQ Projector Wins Innovator Award in Australia
Christie's Fully Integrated Projection System Wins Award at the DTC Annual Defence Industry Dinner & Awards Ceremony
June 2, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Christie, a global visual displays and audio technologies company, is proud to announce that it is the recipient of the 2014 Innovator Award for the Christie Matrix StIM WQ 1-chip DLP projector at the DTC Annual Defence Industry Dinner & Awards Ceremony held on May 30 in Adelaide, South Australia.
The Innovator Award, organized by the Defence Teaming Centre (DTC) - a branch of the Australian Industry & Defence Network - recognizes a company that has invested in research and development to produce innovative products and/or services that have contributed to building the capability of the defence industry in South Australia. The Christie Matrix StIM WQ, which is the world's brightest, solid state WQXGA simulation projection system, fended off stiff competition from BAE Systems and NewSat to clinch the coveted award.
The award-winning Christie Matrix StIM WQ is a fully integrated projection system designed to address the requirements of today's most demanding simulation and training applications. Its unique, dual input architecture makes it the only WQXGA simulation projection system available today that displays separate channels for visible light and Infra-Red (IR) spectrum for simulated Night Vision Goggles training. With the ability to separate RGB and IR channel management, the Matrix StIM WQ offers greater system design flexibility, enabling the user to tailor and optimize the system to meet the specific night training requirement.
Another advantage is its ability to composite the two 60Hz RGB inputs to deliver true 120Hz RGB operation. The result is dramatically improved image quality without image artifacts or perceived loss of brightness while maintaining compatibility with current Image Generator technology, and without the need to make changes to the visual database. Designed for 24/7 operation and with a platform rated at 50,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), the Christie Matrix StIM WQ's rugged design for motion platform use is a durable projection system with no consumables and virtually maintenance-free. This helps to offer a cost-effective solution to lower the cost of ownership in the long run.
Michael Bosworth, general manager, Christie Australia, and Jim Gray, business development manager, Christie Australia, were presented with the Innovator Award during the awards presentation ceremony at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on May 30. The event was attended by over 400 representatives from Australia's defence industry, and graced by the Honorable Jay Weatherill, Premier of South Australia.
"This award would not have been possible without the inspiration and hard work from our partners, management and fellow colleagues, for whom I have deep respect, and have worked tirelessly with to ensure that our visual solutions, such as the Christie Matrix StIM WQ, delivers the best visual experience for everyone who uses it," Bosworth said in his acceptance speech.
Commenting on the win, Lin Yu, vice president, Christie Asia Pacific, said, "We're very proud and honored to receive the Innovator award, and I would like to thank DTC and the judging panel for their recognition of the capabilities of our Christie Matrix StIM WQ projector. This is a clear testimony of the high quality and performance of Christie's advanced visual technologies in meeting the needs of the most demanding users and applications."

-Need Not Worry
-Tone Liv
Not quite the bumrush for your ears that "First Toke" was, "Super Hero.." is paced by tracks like the featured posse cut "Combo #2″, along with plenty of twists and turns that make the album quite an interesting experience..to say the least!
Taken from E's recently released "Get Caught Up" mixtape, "Everything" has ended up sounding just as fresh in 2010 even though, according to the story behind the track, was actually recorded in 2004. Damn, E ain't playin' on the M-I-C, imagine a team comprised of Eternia, Jean Grae, Boog Brown and Invincible..my GAWD!! I can't wait to for the release of the Moss & Eternia' "At Last" coming sooner than later, I've been singing this gal's praises since since the summer of 2007. Eternia is definitely overdue for some well deserved propers, and "Get Caught Up" was the perfect warm-up from what I'm sure will be a huge hit from Eternia and Moss.
5. "Best Of Times"-Strong Arm Steady f. Phonte
Not considered "new" by any means, "Best Of Times" has been floating around the internet for around a month or so now, yet this past week was the first time I've had to fully enjoy the Madlib-produced "In Search Of Stoney Jackson". I don't think that this album was composed as a "Madlib in the studio/Strong Arm Steady in the booth" effort, per se, but more as a "J. Rocc gave us close to 200 Madlib beats to pick from" ordeal. Shoot, whatever the case, I might add that over the last 30 days, "In Search Of Stoney Jackson" has been one of, if not the most pleasant listen and will continue to be, as I'm havin' a helluva' time making room for anything else on my Iphone. Damn, "In Search Of.." just flows so damn nicely, I plan on giving the album it's full "propers" later this week as I'm sure I'll still be bumpin' the hell out of it til' then!

Federal health advisers say a brain stimulating device from Medtronic can be approved for epilepsy, provided the company conducts follow-up safety studies.
The Food and Drug Administration's panel of neurological experts voted 7-5 in favor of Medtronic's Deep Brain Stimulation implant, under certain conditions.
The experts said it should carry warning about depression and memory loss. They also said Medtronic should track patient safety for five years
The FDA is not required to follow the panel's advice, though it usually does.
Medtronic has asked the FDA to approve its implant for reducing seizures caused by epilepsy, a neurological disease.
The device is already approved for other movement disorders, including Parkinson's Disease.

Lucknow, Nov 30: Cold wave tightened its grip as rains continued to lash Lucknow on Monday morning. The minimum temperature in the region was set to dip further, the meteorological office said.
Residents here woke up to a steady spell of rain, leaving many schoolchildren and office-goers in the lurch. Icy winds blowing at a speed of 15 km per hour from adjoining Uttarakhand added to the winter bite.
Many parts of Uttar Pradesh would witness cloudy weather or rain, especially eastern Uttar Pradesh, the Met office said. The state capital has had rains for the last 24 hours.
A drop in day and night temperatures would continue in the coming week.
The minimum temperature here on Sunday was 19 degrees Celsius, eight degrees below normal.
"Icy winds blowing due to snowfall in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand will add to the chill. Uttar Pradesh will face the winter at its fullest within a week," the Met office said.
Fog also appeared in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and was set to thicken by the month-end, the office said.

COLLEGE PARK -- With an amiable countenance combined with a bite mark on his right elbow and stitches above his left eye, Maryland's Cedric Lewis hardly looks the part of the intimidator.
But these days, the word "force" looks as natural on the back of Lewis' jersey as his last name.
The 6-foot-9 senior center is continuing to make an impressive and startling transformation from defensive specialist to all-around player.
"It's coming from within, because I want to prove a lot of people wrong," said Lewis, who will be in the pivot tonight when the Terps play UMBC at Cole Field House.
They don't give a most improved player award in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but Lewis, whose 10.6-point average is more than triple his 3.0 career figure, will cement that mythical honor if he continues at this pace.

NEW research has shown that molecular changes to people's genes are driven mainly by ageing but are also affected by what they eat.
The study, which involved scientists from Newcastle University and the Institute of Food Research, showed that while age had the biggest effects on these molecular changes, selenium and vitamin D reduced the accumulation of changes.
The researchers also found that obesity and a high level of vitamin B increased these changes.
Loading article content
These findings support the idea that healthy ageing is affected by what people eat.
The B vitamin is essential for health and is found in many green-leafed vegetables, but in this study, high levels of B vitamins in the blood was associated with increased levels of genetic changes linked with bowel cancer.
These findings are consistent with some studies suggesting that excessive folic acid intakes may increase the risk of bowel cancer in some people.
Obesity is also a risk factor for bowel cancer. This study found relationships between body size and gene changes.
How excess body weight induces these changes, and the consequences for gut health, are being investigated.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: open
And when I did a search on google, my god tons of pages.
I can see cloaking as good when you are trying to conceal your data, but not when you serve content to a spider and different content to a visitor.
Thats all Im going to say about that, I was just amazed how google actually has a whole directy devoted to Cloaking, yet "Supposively" they dont like it. This actually tells me they do like it.
Its not a fair world! <<< lol!
Probably would be very easy for them to remove it though...
But they don't which is good imho bcoz of the democratic nature of web. Make your own informed decision is the real meaning.
This actually tells me they do like it.
I wouldn't assume that of google. Others may allow Trusted feed etc but google is very strict about cloaking. :)
[edited by: mil2k at 9:11 am (utc) on June 24, 2003]
So Ill do that, even though google prolly could care less I still wont do it out of fear of my site disapearing one day, and its just not right.
Of course the way cloaking works is to serve the spider a different page then the human. This is accomplished by knowing what IP address the Spider is coming from.
Now, has anybody here ever spoofed an IP address? It fairly simple, if the Search engines wanted to catch the Cloakers all they would have to do is Spoof their IP randomly, nobody could track it, therefor eliminating most Cloaking.
They dont do this........
Now, has anybody here ever spoofed an IP address? It fairly simple, if the Search engines wanted to catch the Cloakers all they would have to do is Spoof their IP randomly, nobody could track it, therefor eliminating most Cloaking.
I would disagree simply bcoz ppl with lot more knowlegde than me think it's not that easy to spoof an ip Address.
They dont do this........
I think they do. And yes they do ban. Talked with a few cloakers who have got their Sites banned :)
If you just want to send a packet to the target host without revealing your location, then that's correct. If you also want to receive data (eg. a web page) back from that host, then it becomes impossible by principle. Where would the target host send the reply?
So that's the real reason why the SEs don't use IP spoofing in their cloak busting activities... ;)
Google with its 10,000 computers could have more then 2 IP addresses wouldnt you think, Myself I have access to 3 IP addresses, and I dont have 10,000 computers.
There is no excuse, they dont have to use the same IP all the time for their, spiders, if you want to get all technical about it, they infact support cloaking.
I have the answer for google, spen $15 a month and sign up for a new Internet Service provider once or twice a month and get new IP's, surely they can afford $30.
The poiint is they practicly anounce it to te world, we are coming in on this IP address, get your cloaking software up to date, so we can get your cloaked pages in our index. You cant dispute this
IMHO, deanril is posting with a pugnacious attitude, that's not good. But discussing poor language skills or typos is way off topic and unproductive.
If it continues it will degrade and simply get the entire thread deleted and we all loose out... CHILL! :)
Yes you could do it the cheap way by using proxies but in my experience the anonomous ones are often unreliable & not meant to be used for the purposes you're suggesting.
Secondly Google have a *lot* of IP addresses (you should be able to verify this via your own logs), however historically they have clustered them together into two ranges which they used for GoogleBot purposes; 64.68.* and 216.239.* - personally I've seen them using 120+ different IPs within this range, but that's no where near definitive.
I have the answer for google, spen $15 a month and sign up for a new Internet Service provider once or twice a month and get new IP's, surely they can afford $30.
At $15 account might suit you or me but it wont cut it for the requirements Google has - namely lots of constant bandwidth and an SLA on the account itself. ISPs aren't really in the business of doing either of those things for $15 a month - infact you'd be hard pressed to get an SLA out of an ISP at any point unless you threw silly amounts of money at them.
There's no harm in throwing around discussion points but if you want your argument to have a suitable impact then you need to put in the proper amount of research beforehand...

From Lael Gray of MNA, The Montford Neighborhood Association (MNA) announced today a "Greenway Challenge" in conjunction with RiverLink to jumpstart the process of completing the unfinished portion of the Reed Creek Greenway through the former Momentum property along Broadway.
The MNA is challenging Montford residents and businesses, as well as the entire Asheville community, to make a contribution to this most worthy cause. For its part, the MNA will provide up to $6,000 in matching contributions for donations made by individuals and businesses.
The $6,000 represents approximately 10% of the total cost to build the trail along the creek. More improvements will be needed once the trail is completed.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to turn what was a very bad scenario for the community into a very positive one. Working in conjunction with UNCA, the Montford community, RiverLink, and the City of Asheville, the MNA pledges support for completion of the final section of this vital link," said MNA President David Patterson
The portion of the greenway between Catawba Street and W. T. Weaver Boulevard represents a key "missing link" in the greenway.
The project is funded through donations of $50 per linear foot. Accordingly, MNA would like to recommend a contribution in $50 increments, but of course any contribution is welcome. One-hundred percent of the funds donated will go to construction of the trail.
Karen Cragnolin, Executive Director of RiverLink, has announced that donors will be awarded a "Deed of Support" for every $50 contribution.
To make a donation, simply go to the Montford website at www.montford.org and click on the Greenway Contribution button. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by tax code.
For additional information, please contact:

One of the issues I dealt with is the false illusion that you may have trained well in the past and
have had the skills
key word being "have" and not keep up on that training leaves you with a false sense of security and a even a false sense of "insecurity" knowing inside you are NOT prepared.
I been a CCW holder for 19 years and the first five I trained like crazy almost daily.
Then this or that came up maybe shoot once a month, change guns, etc next thing you know you ain't nowhere's as proficient..
I still carried daily and felt "semi safe" but that's not good enough, when you carry , you carry a huge responsibility.
I've had to "repent" to use a term in my biz, and go back to basics.
Luckily I still have friends in LE that help me with my bad habits!
If you are like me, it will start coming back.
Stay on top of it brothers!

Diablo 3 - Interview @ Rock, Paper, Shotgun
View Single Post
November 17th, 2013, 04:05
The simple answer is that Blizzard has truly lost it's way, maybe because of the influence of Activision to concentrate on making games that make the most money instead of making a great game that becomes an all time seller.
Blizzard used to make complicated and deceptively deep games that were still easy to play due to ridiculously good UI and systems design,
D3 is a game and that actually got significantly worse the more they worked on it. The first version at Blizzcon 2008 was a really good game. Exactly what you would expect from D3. It had depth and familiarity and they had plans for lots of systems that would add more depth.
But over time they kept removing feature after feature. The beta was almost surreal in that the game clearly got worse and more dumbed down with every version, until the point that there was nothing really left. A Blizzard developer actually said at one point that his grandmother needed to be able to sit down and instantly get the game.
If you can watch the video where they announced D3 for the first time. It is pretty amazing in that the alpha they showed was significantly more advanced and interesting than the game they released.
Three big things happened. One their success lead them to believe that their opinions were infallibly wrong. Two, their gigantic financial clout allowed them to take their "iterative" design process to an extreme which resulted in so many drastic changes and reductions in scope that the game itself was lost. And three, they became only interested in creating revenue streams for their products which led to the AH which totally killed the shell of what was left.
This interview only shows that nothing has changed and Blizzard just does not ger it anymore. They don't really even understand their own audience. ROS will be a terrible game.

The 11th Annual Vilano 5K Run, country breakfast and community flea market were held last Saturday at the Community Center, and everyone who attended enjoyed the morning of activities. A big thanks goes to Jennifer Sellars, town manager, who coordinated the 5K this year. We would also like to thank Eric Norton and his talented crew for putting on another delicious country breakfast and flea market vendors Jim Dilbeck, Nadine Connahey and Cheryl Roberts.
Speaking of the Nortons, their daughter, Carly, will graduate from The Bolles School tonight. Seems like yesterday she and her mom, Jane, were out on the grounds of the community center doing face painting and selling sno cones at one of our Days in the Park. She has grown into a beautiful girl and when we talked with her on Saturday, she shared her excitement about her graduation and her future. Good luck, Carly.
At the monthly meeting of NSIA we discussed plans for building the "Bill Brown Patio" in honor of Bill Brown, a former president and member of the association. He and his wife, Mary, worked tirelessly for years with us, and we want to show our appreciation to both by naming this patio after him. We will update you as plans unfold.
What's new on the Town Center project? Vilano Surf Hut plans to open soon, hopefully this weekend for Memorial Day, and will provide surf board rentals as well as other items in their shop. They are located on Vilano Road.
Also on the Town Center forefront, Sacha Martin, president of NSIA, reports that six owners have some minor modifications and/or cleanup projects that are being done this month on Vilano Road.
Our May NSIA meeting also featured a program by Jill Ziebell, president of the Florida Native Plant Society St. Augustine chapter. The group just formed in February of this year and already has 35 members. They are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Jill brought several native plants that she identified for us. Jill shared much information with us and below are highlights:
* Rocks are not good for landscaping because they dry out the soil
* Melaluca mulch is good alternative to cypress mulch
* Native mulch is even better (leaves, pine straw and bark)
* Plants good on or by the beach are perennial peanut, morning glory and dune sunflower
* Koonty (the Indians used part of it for meal) is a good replacement for Sago palms and is also a host to butterflies
* Sea grapes, railroad vine and beach creeper are also good plants for our area
* Mondo grass and dwarf mondo grass do well here but are not as beach-friendly

Well, if we weren't on the map, we are now. Vilano Beach resident Jessica Minch won the Miss Florida United States 2008 title. She will compete in the July 17 pageant in Las Vegas. She is a 2006 graduate of Flagler College. Thanks to The Record for their coverage of her award.
Congrats to our son, Joel Dilbeck, and our nephew, Ryan King, who both turned 30 this month. We had a dual party for our families to celebrate the event and enjoyed walking down to the NSIA Community Center and playground to enjoy watching our grandchildren play there, as their dad, Joel, did 25+ years ago. Just seems like yesterday
The program for next month's NSIA meeting, at 7 p.m. June 9, will be on hurricane preparation. It's hard to believe it is already hurricane season again.
Until next time, look on the bright side.

Ruble overhang and ruble shortage : were they the same thing?
Economists and policymakers in the Soviet Union before its dissolution were concerned about the growth of the"ruble overhang."The concern was that the rationing of consumer goods evident in prior years had led to an excess of purchasing power in households. Price liberalization was expected to lead to a jump in consumer prices as households tried to exercise their purchasing power. But after the Soviet Union dissolved, a new concern emerged: a ruble shortage. Throughout the ruble currency area, governments and state enterprises could not get enough rubles to pay wages and pensions. As a result, households were unable to make the purchases they wanted to make. Ruble shortages contributed greatly to the progressive deterioration of the ruble area, from its beginning with fifteen members to its present membership of two. The names given to these two episodes - the"ruble overhang"and the"ruble shortage"- are misleading, because they are both manifestations of the same phenomenon. In both cases, forced savings led to a reduction in purchasing power and downward pressure on inflation. The difference was in the mechanism that induced forced saving. For the ruble overhang, the government maintained price rigidity; there was nonprice rationing of output that was insufficient to satisfy demand at those rigid prices. For the ruble shortage, the government - through the de facto inconvertibility of deposits to currency. The result was the same: a rationed household sector unable to trade financial assets for commodities.

Sentencing of serial sex offender for molesting two girls on the Luas adjourned
The sentencing of a serial sex offender who molested two Limerick girls on the Luas while they were en-route to a Rihanna concert has been adjourned for a second time.
John Daly (53) was arrested by gardaí three months later as he was about to board the tram at the O2 following a One Direction concert.
He had been nominated as a suspect after gardaí viewed CCTV footage from the tram when the girls, aged 13 and 16, reported him.
Daly admitted during interview that he had deliberately got on the Luas, heading for the Rihanna concert, to touch young girls and get sexually aroused.
He said he had it "in my head to do it" and had been doing it "for my own satisfaction".
Daly of Cabra Park, Phibsboro pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to two charges of sexual assault on October 3, 2011.
In February 2000 he was sentenced to three years with one suspended by Mr Justice Paul Carney in the Central Criminal Court for other sex charges. It was appealed by the Director of Public Prosecutions on the basis of leniency and increased to a six year term.
Daly had pleaded guilty to attempted rape and indecent assault charges relating to two young girls on dates from 1980 to 1984, and to aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault on a 62-year-old woman on dates from 1997 to 1998.
At a previous hearing related to the current charges, Judge Mary Ellen Ring revoked his bail and remanded him in custody until today for sentence. She ordered a report from the Probation Service to see what treatment Daly can undergo in jail.
Today/yesterday (THURS) Judge Ring agreed to a recommendation from the Probation Service to a further assessment of Daly and set a date for sentencing on April 28 next.
Garda Cathriona Gilmartin told Lisa Dempsey BL, prosecuting, that the girls had been brought to Dublin by one of their fathers that day and he had put them on the Luas at Heuston Station when they noticed the heavy traffic.
The tram was busy and Daly approached one of the girls, stood to her right hand side and put his hands between her legs. He touched her outside her shorts and tights and continued to molest her until the group got off the stop at the O2.
The teenager later reported to gardaí that she felt she had "no way out" because she had been squashed against a bar. She said she didn't know how to get out of the situation.
Daly touched the other teenager's backside after she bumped into him and apologised for standing on his toe. She moved out of Daly's way at the first opportunity she got.
The girl's father was waiting for them at the platform at the O2 and they told him what had happened.
Both girls were able to give a good description of Daly. They continued onto the concert and later made statements to gardaí at their local station
Victim impact reports were handed into Judge Ring but not read out. Neither the girls nor their families were in court.
Luigi Rea BL, defending, said Daly had been a model prisoner while serving his earlier sentence but accepted that he had obviously not successfully dealt with "the demons in his mind" while in custody.
He said Daly is now committed to availing of any treatment he can while in prison
A report before the court concluded that he "functions in the mild intellectual disability range".
Counsel said Daly wanted to apologise to the girls who had been on this "nightmare train journey" and said this "dreadful" incident should never have happened. <ends>
Additional evidence from 2000 sentence hearing
Daly came to a garda station and made a full voluntary admission of his offending.
Garda witnesses told prosecuting counsel Mr Patrick Gageby SC the sexual abuse took the form of indecent touching, digital penetration, placing his tongue in one of his victim's vagina, and pressing his penis against her body.
Complaints weren't made by the victims for a long time and they were all pleased he pleaded guilty so they didn't have to come to the court to give evidence. <ends>

Disappointment, anger over NFL labor woes
Friday, March 11, 2011; 8:44 PM
-- Anger and disappointment were the predominant emotions throughout the football world and beyond after the NFL players' union decertified Friday, hours before the expiration of their collective bargaining agreement with the league.
The impasse could lead to NFL owners locking out the players. Ten players, including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, filed antitrust lawsuits Friday to prevent a lockout.
"It's a sad day for football," said free agent offensive lineman Damien Woody, who played the last three seasons with the New York Jets.
"I'm sad that it had to come to his. As players, we didn't want this, but we felt like it was the only option we had. We didn't opt out of the CBA two years go. The owners did. Now, it has become a situation that we have to leave it to the lawyers and courts to hopefully bring this to a resolution that is best for everybody."
Hall of Famer Mike Ditka saw the stalemate as selfish, fearing retired players will be hurt the most if the NFL shuts down. "What this is about is the people in the game, the owners and the players," said the former Bears tight end and, later, Chicago's coach. "That's all they care about."
As for talks breaking off, he added: "I think it's wrong. I don't see any reason for that to happen. ... I am surprised and I'm disappointed. I think fans are losers more than anybody."
Tennessee defensive end Jason Babin, a free agent after a Pro Bowl season, warned not to expect players to break ranks and abandon each other. That happened in the last work stoppage 24 years ago, when dozens of players crossed picket lines and the players' strike failed.
"It's a lot different than it was in 1987. There's not going to be guys bagging groceries," he said. "I mean, we clued in people to save money this year, saving every other check. I think the majority of guys took that seriously and understood how important that was.
"On top of that, we've been preparing for this for years, putting money away in different programs we have. It's not going to be as big a shock to the system as it was in 1987."
Groups representing American workers and U.S. businesses also weighed in, taking their expected positions.
"Working people stand shoulder to shoulder with the players and their right to protect themselves and their families through antitrust laws that prohibit illegal and greedy corporate behavior," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said.
Meanwhile, U.S. Chamber of Commerce senior vice president Randel K. Johnson, whose organization represents the interests of more than 3 million businesses, said that "gaming the labor laws and the antitrust laws offers a potentially disastrous model for labor-management relations in this country and raises serious questions of labor policy."

Nieuwenhuis to rest foot injury, miss rest of year
Nieuwenhuis to rest foot injury, miss rest of year
Outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who starred early in his rookie campaign with the Mets, will not play again this year in an effort to rest the partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot. Doctors in New York prescribed the period of rest for Nieuwenhuis, who initially tried to rehab his injury in Florida.
Nieuwenhuis injured his foot running up the first-base line Aug. 3 in his fourth game back with Triple-A Buffalo, mere days after the Mets optioned the scuffling outfielder. Though he garnered early National League Rookie of the Year consideration for his .297 average, six home runs and superlative outfield defense through June 15, Nieuwenhuis batted.123 with one home run after that date, striking out in more than 44 percent of his plate appearances.
As a result, the Mets sent him back to Buffalo, where his season came to a premature end.


text: The house was very comfortable and close to both the beach and the main thoroughfare. On the downside, the lights weren't always located in an obvious place and some switches didn't work, and the refrigerator was freezing the items we placed in it. But these were minor headaches compared to the location and the overall comfort of the home.

Dear Meredith,
Long time listener, first time caller, as they say! Here's the plot:
Cast of Characters
Me: mid-twenties, gainfully employed, no smoking/drinking/white shoes after Labor Day.
Him: mid-twenties, gainfully employed, no smoking/drinking/romantic comedies starring Hugh Grant.
The Prologue
We met in college, and have been dating on and off for almost four years. Our "off" periods were primarily due to our respective careers -- I moved out of the country for a period of time, his unusual job requires an inordinate amount of travel. After traveling the nation and the world, we've come to to the realization that we are perfect for each other. We've talked about our future, raising children, and we're back together and totally in love. Well, I am totally in love.
The Problem With the Script
Not once in our many years of being involved with each other has he ever said, "I love you." I've said it once or twice, and his response each time was, "You mean the world to me." He's never said it to anyone else in his dating history, so I know the words mean a lot and he wouldn't ever take that kind of verbal commitment lightly. The problem is, hearing "I love you" is really important to me.
My question to you, as the Official Script Editor of Cupid, is: how can I address this subject, sensitive as it is, without freaking him out? It's important to me, and it's something I need to hear in a relationship, but I understand it's also a Very Big Thing to bring up. I can already hear shouts from the audience, telling me I should be grateful for a man who shows his affection, though he might not tell it (and believe me, I am grateful); but is it wrong of me to feel that the words carry their own emotional weight, as well?
Thanks in advance for all the advice!
Hoping For A Rewrite, Boston
HFAW, you might hear a few shouts from the LL crowd about being grateful, but it seems to me that you are. I think most of us want to be told that we're loved, not just that we mean the world to someone.
If he hasn't said it because he just doesn't feel comfortable saying those very loaded words until it feels natural, I'm not worried. Some people psych themselves out and can't say "I love you" until they've already loved someone for quite some time. It only matters if he hasn't said it because he's unhappy or doesn't see this lasting.
You have my permission to ask whether it's hesitation or unhappiness and doubt. If it's doubt, you can panic. But if it's hesitation, which it probably is, you just have to take a deep breath, sit tight, and remember that you do mean the entire planet to him. That's something. If he's happy, hang on to that and try to relax. Kiss him and tell him that you'll enjoy the "show" part of the show and tell.
I wish I could edit your script. Life doesn't work that way. Which is a bummer, because I'd come up with some amazing lines for him. You'd melt.
Readers? Should she even bring this up with him? We get a lot of "I love you" letters. Can anyone who holds off on saying it explain why? Is his job and their on-and-off beginnings relevant? Discuss.
– Meredith

BOGOTA, Nov 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. affiliate of Colombian state-run oil company Ecopetrol will explore for oil in four blocks in the Gulf of Mexico, the company said in a statement on Monday, partially in partnership with Anadarko U.S. Offshore Corp.
Three of the blocks, located offshore of Texas, will be explored in concert with Anadarko U.S. Offshore, a unit of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. The two companies offered $2.4 million for exploration rights, Ecopetrol said.
Ecopetrol has complete rights to exploration in the fourth block, for which it bid $2.8 million in August.
The U.S. government's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has approved the bids. Ecopetrol first explored in the Gulf in 2008.

text: Three Newly Announced Sports Honorees To Attend 35th Annual MS Dinner of Champions November 8, 2013 STAMFORD, Conn. – The National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, has announced three sports honorees for the 35th Annual MS Dinner of Champions, which will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Hilton Stamford Hotel in Stamford. Since the first MS Dinner of Champions, the event has honored outstanding corporate leaders and the most prominent champions in sports. This year's sports honorees include Mike Richter, former New York Rangers ice hockey goaltender, Brian Leetch, retired American professional ice hockey defenseman who played 18 National Hockey League seasons with the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, and Damon Harrison, current New York Jets defensive tackle. The 2013 MS Humanitarian Award will be presented to Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, the private investment firm Sternlicht formed in 1991 with a focus on global real estate, hotel management, energy infrastructure and securities trading. Randy Falco, president and CEO of Univision Communications Inc., will also be honored that evening for his outstanding leadership and bestowed the MS Hope Award. Emmy Award winner Armen Keteyian, News Correspondent with CBS News, will serve as this year's MS Dinner of Champions master of ceremonies. Last year, more than 200 people attended the black tie optional event, which raised more than $250,000. Since its inception, the MS Dinner of Champions has raised more than $7 million for the fight against multiple sclerosis. Funds raised through National MS Society events ensure ongoing scientific research to help develop better treatments and a cure for multiple sclerosis. Funds also provide for the continuation of programs and services offered by the Connecticut Chapter. The MS Dinner of Champions, established in 1978, honors champions of the business and sports industry making a difference in their organizations and communities. Past honorees hail from companies such as include Ernst & Young, IBM, Louis Dreyfus, Mutual of America, Pfizer and Xerox Corporation as well as both local and national sports figures Steve Young, Joe Namath, Frank Gifford, John Starks, Billie Jean King, Mary Lou Retton and Bobby Valentine.
