Whether or not he is eventually elected mayor of Toronto, candidate John Tory has already provided a valuable public service.
He's stated the obvious. Rather than dance around the issue, he's made clear that Rob Ford, the current mayor, is a disgrace. Ford is an ongoing embarrassment who has brought mockery tumbling down on the city from all sides. Apart from his buffoonish behaviour, he's treated the law with disdain and the truth as a stranger. The best thing that could happen would be for the police to arrest him (as he's dared them to do) and end his excruciating bid for re-election.
Most of the candidates opposing Ford nonetheless appear to have concluded it's better to steer clear of a direct challenge to his morals and ethics.
On Thursday, Tory released a 10-point "code of personal and political conduct" he promised to abide by if elected mayor. The contents are so obvious as to raise questions about why they'd need to be spelled out. He would, Tory says, "respect and defend our laws, not break them." He would "show up for work each day," publish his schedule, hold weekly press briefings, try to get along with neighbouring municipalities, try to get along with other members of council, treat staff with respect, make lobbyists register, "introduce real penalties for elected officials and public servants who abuse the privileges, responsibilities and trust that accompany public service," and ensure public money is only spent on public matters.
Also, he says, "I will not compile an enemies list."
Well hurrah for that. Left unsaid, but evident nonetheless, is Ford's failure to meet any of these basic performance tests. And that's presumably why the Tory camp felt it was necessary to put them in writing. Because Torontonians could be forgiven if they'd reached the conclusion that honesty and basic personal decency were no longer considered requirements for Toronto's political leadership.
[np_storybar title="Christie Blatchford: Rob Ford did nothing 'wrong'? He may have done nothing criminal, but that's hardly the same thing" link="http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/04/03/christie-blatchford-rob-ford-did-nothing-wrong-he-may-have-done-nothing-criminal-but-thats-hardly-the-same-thing/"%5D
As they like to say south of the border, keep Toronto in your prayers.
Here in Canada's largest city, it is not enough that we have a crack-smoking, prone-to-drunken-stupors mayor who appears to actually believe that because he isn't facing criminal charges he has been "cleared" by the lengthy Toronto police probe which showed him, among other things, consorting with drug thugs, posing for pictures at a known crack house, appearing for all the world to be engaged in curious drug-transaction-like hand-to-hand transfers, oh yes, and urinating in public.
(This is akin to being caught having a knee trembler with the next-door neighbor and pronouncing yourself vindicated, your reputation salvaged, because you weren't caught stark naked, in full flagrante delicto, in her bed.)[/np_storybar]
There's a view, held by many, that calling out Ford is unwise and unnecessary. There are valid reasons behind this. Anyone who isn't already aware of Ford's antics by now probably isn't paying much attention to municipal politics anyway (and could possibly be in a coma). His remaining supporters seem immune to reason, while opponents don't need to be reminded. Drawing more attention to Ford only gives him another opportunity to boast of his supposed achievements and repeat the inane incantation that "I'm not perfect." (Neither is Bernie Madoff, but it's still no excuse). So, better to ignore him and hope voters make him go away.
Fair enough, but, under the circumstances, not satisfactory. One reason (among many) that public interest in politics, and respect for those who practise it, is so dismally low is the sense that nothing is considered too debased, too demeaning or too dishonest to be pursued in an effort to get, and stay, elected. Turning a blind eye to Ford's behaviour, on the basis that boozing, drug use, temper tantrums and palling around with criminals are "personal matters" and not related to public issues, only feeds that perception.
Most of the candidates opposing Ford nonetheless appear to have concluded it's better to steer clear of a direct challenge to his morals and ethics. Former NDP MP Olivia Chow referred to his "crazy lying" in the first all-candidates debate, but for the most part Ford was allowed to throw out new inaccuracies at will, proclaiming himself the best mayor the city has ever had. At a subsequent debate such claims were met with laughter from the audience, indicating that the public recognizes a clown act when it sees it, even if the candidates won't acknowledge it as such.
That's what makes Mr. Tory's list a valuable service. Whether his declaration is the smartest politics remains to be seen, but it was necessary for at least one candidate to step forward, draw a line around Ford and declare: "This is not acceptable." Mr. Tory has done that and deserves to be saluted for it.

The H. Campbell and Eleanor R. Stuckeman School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture is seeking entries to the Energy Game Design Competition at Penn State.
The "Save Energy Application Design Competition" is open to Penn State students in any major and will demonstrate an array of working prototypes at the leading edge of creative game design. Prizes include a $1,000 grand prize, second place prizes of $500, third place prizes of $250, and additional categories paying $100.
Sponsored by StudioLab and the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) for Energy-Efficient Buildings, the technology design competition is an outgrowth of the GPIC, led by Penn State, the goals of which are to transform the building retrofit industry from serial fragmentation to integrated systems methods, to improve design tools, building systems, public policies, market incentives, and workforce skills needed to achieve a 50 percent reduction of energy use in buildings, and to stimulate private investment and quality job creation in Greater Philadelphia and beyond.
The competition's challenge is to incorporate energy-use data streams into an interactive web, mobile, or social media based application that gets people to start saving energy. Many approaches to saving energy have already been attempted. These include energy-use feedback visualizations, educational materials, virtual simulations, and energy-themed games. This competition takes those ideas a step further. Entrants are asked to do something new with one of these approaches, combine the approaches in new exciting ways, or to create their own approach. The only requirements are that the application created: (1) incorporates the live energy-use data provided by Penn State; (2) is interactive by requiring user input and doing more than only displaying information; and (3) is created on one of the platforms listed in the description here.
Entrants will be judged on the originality and innovativeness of their ideas; the level of engagement the product creates; the visual appeal of their final product; the energy saving content and ability to induce change; and overall ease of use and operability relative to the target audience. Each factor will be independently weighed, and the winners will not necessarily have to score the highest in every category to be selected.
Final contest submissions should include three components: the game or application itself; a short essay (minimum of 500 words) stating the intent of the application, describing the application itself and how it is used, and how successfully or unsuccessfully the application does what it set out to do; and an 11" by 17" poster to be displayed and used for judging. The poster should contain a brief summary of the application, screen shots, and annotations.
Final submissions are due by 5 p.m. Monday Jan. 9, 2012 to a dropbox on the competition website. Winners will be notified in late January, and selected by a panel that will include industry experts, GPIC officials, representatives of the target audience, and project investigators.

So apparently you don't have to be an over-the-hill former action movie star to be among the cast of "The Expendables" franchise after all. Go figure.
Variety reports that Liam Hemsworth, little brother of Chris (the star of "Thor" and the upcoming "The Avengers") will join the cast of "The Expendables 2", though his role remains unknown. Besides doing that movie with that former Disney girl who is now a full-blown skank, Hemsworth is also one of the two male leads in Gary Ross' upcoming "The Hunger Games" trilogy.
Hemsworth joins an aging cast that includes Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture. Fellow old guys Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris will also be added to the cast, with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a bigger role this time around.

2012 was an eventful year, from big events like the London Summer Olympics and the U.S. presidential race, to regional conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, to smaller issues closer to home. Reverberations from last year's transformative Arab Spring still heavily affect Syria and Egypt; and the slow recovery from the recent global economic crisis brought bitter austerity measures to parts of Europe, leading to widespread protests.

Bizu isn't Alberto Lombardi's first French bistro, and Bizu, which means "little kiss" in French (with a twist on the French spelling), probably won't be his last.
But what do I know? Sure, I'd stabbed my fork into some marginal meals at Lombardi's in the West End. And I'd sat my butt down in Lombardi Mare, his Addison seafood and pasta shanty, where goldfish puckered their lips in glass bowls strung above the bar while I smacked my own lips over one of the best souffles I've had in Dallas. But I was largely ignorant of the breadth of the Alberto Lombardi legacy. That is, until I called the Lombardi corporate office in Dallas and received a manila envelope swelling with marketing propaganda, a disheveled hodgepodge of promotional scraps.
The kit contained an oversized Bizu postcard, Bizu menus, and a black spiral-bound catalog of press clips, restaurant descriptions, and menus from virtually every existing Lombardi enterprise. The first page was a bio with a portrait of Lombardi sitting comfortably in a blue-gray suit, his clasped hands displaying a diamond-studded sapphire ring. He has the smile of a newly retired shortstop who has just opened his own insurance agency.
According to the spiral book, Lombardi was born in Forli, Italy, and worked in hotels and restaurants in Belgium and Germany before he landed a job aboard a Norwegian Cruise Lines luxury liner. Work in French restaurants in Miami and San Francisco followed. He came to Dallas in 1973 and launched his local career working as a waiter at the Grape before moving on to the Fairmont Hotel, where he was maitre d' in the Venetian Room.
The account relates how Lombardi opened his first restaurant in 1977 on McKinney Avenue and eventually operated a dozen venues in the city before selling all but the West End location. Tucked among the verbiage is a damn good quote: "If you are in this business, you need to know every part of it, or you are going to close the door or just accept mediocrity," he says. "Like anything else, you pick up the good parts and throw away the bad things."
One gets the impression that Lombardi might have actually spit these words from his lips. I mean, compare this with the following Stephan Pyles quote extracted from a recent AquaKnox release: "AquaKnox is the type of concept that lends itself to periodic changes and a spark of freshness. The Lounge is the perfect place to go right after work, through the evening, or after theater to enjoy intimate dining and cocktails."
But I digress. The most potent gem in that pack of marketing mulch from Lombardi was a fistful of newspaper reviews dating to 1979 on his original McKinney Avenue bistro, Le Rendez Vous. "Le Rendez Vous will make your pulse quicken with admiration while looking at its modish decor, done primarily in smart brown," says one reviewer, presumably with a face straightened through years of newspaper work. "Sleek and sophisticated are the adjectives most likely to come to mind in describing it."
Another critic adds more dimension with descriptions of Le Rendez Vous' atmosphere, expanding on the conspicuously over-40 crowd. "A plethora of silk shirtwaist dresses, hoop earrings and plaid kilts on the women. The men are less conventional," the writer adds after an Indiana Jones look-alike in a silver jacket catches her eye. The reviewer says that in Parisian restaurants, everyone eavesdrops. So she takes a stab at French authenticity, offering up a few select clips of dining-room chatter: "My family couldn't have afforded to send me to Harvard even if I was smart enough to get in." "It's very French to have rabbit." "Our little David is really very inquisitive. He asks questions." "I have absolutely no idea what it is I'm eating. But it's good."
These bits of babble offer a peek at what the city's dining scene was like then. Lots of inquisitive Harvard-wannabe sophisticates who ask questions about rabbits and then order the mystery meat, perhaps. It also gives you a glimpse of how far we've come with menu prices: A bowl of vichyssoise was two bucks. Grilled salmon with a great bearnaise sauce that "was awfully full of bones but nevertheless beautifully fresh in flavor" cost a scant $7.95. Glasses of house wine were a $1.35, cheap enough to cop a good buzz at the current hourly minimum wage.
One dinner at Le Rendez Vous started with rubbery escargot. At Bizu, the escargot, slathered in garlic butter, was actually quite good: chewy with a rich, earthy taste. Though swamped in a garlicky olive oil, Bizu's frog legs Provencal featured a delicious scattering of juicy, chewy limbs. There were also clumps of chopped tomatoes with fresh, zesty flesh--none of the waxy woolies you find so often this time of year.
Yet the rest of Bizu's menu was, as one Le Rendez Vous reviewer put so artfully years ago, "nothing to stir the super adjectives," at least not the kind you'd want to offer up in polite company. Scrambled eggs in puff pastry was stuffed with a limp egg, asparagus, and morel mushroom melange. Served almost cool, this brunch selection tasted like a Crisco cupcake. At the next table over, I spotted Monica Greene of Monica's Aca y Alla. She had ordered the same thing and was unenthusiastically probing it with a fork. The only flavor here came from a pile of moderately thin, seasoned pommes frites. These tuber sticks kicked, and they weren't drubbed in oil.
The same couldn't be said of the fried calamari. The stuff was greasy, flat, and lifeless. Even the dipping sauces, tartar and tomato-caper, couldn't rejuvenate these cuts of squid. Yet other brunch components gradually elevated the experience. French toast brioche with generous strips of chewy (if a bit dry) apple-smoked bacon was satisfyingly sapid--so much so that the occasional gooey, battery pocket was barely noticeable.
Best of the brunch bunch was the smoked salmon with a tender, toasted egg bagel and cream cheese. Smooth and smoky, the delicate sheets of salmon had none of the irritating stringiness that can make for an awkward breakfast chew. Again, the tomatoes were robust.
Sirloin-tip risotto was utterly ruined by the meat. The risotto was creamy and supple with a good, sharp punch of cheese raciness. But the beef was gray, tough and gristly, utterly lacking rich flavor, as if the stuff had been boiled. Duck a l'orange also disappointed. A roasted leg and thigh were sheathed in crispy skin, but the meat was dry in spots and lacked seasoning to flesh out the flavor, leaving the job to the puddle of dull orange sauce. Then there was the company this quacker kept on the plate: a twisted mass of overcooked vegetable slop. The only readily identifiable specimens in the dish were the whole pearly white cloves of garlic peeking out here and there from macerated knots and dollops of slush. Yet with sharp focus and determination, it was possible to identify some of the ingredients: onions, bell peppers, eggplant, and zucchini.
This blurry entree was in stark contrast to the Bizu decor. This is one of the most robustly crisp restaurants I've come across in a long time, and it seems remotely reminiscent of Le Rendez Vous, at least judging by past reviewer comments. Bizu is richly dressed in blond woods: hardwood floors, lots of slatted panels. And the walls are, while not slathered in smart brown, at least washed in clever pumpkin-pie-filling orange. A mirrored canopy skylight floods the dining room with sun during the day. And at night, the place is a shrouded tug-of-war between hard and soft surfaces, between chic edginess and diffused coziness. In the bar, brushed metal stools and a marble bar top are muted with a bench tossed with obese pillows. Back-lit bar booths separated with organza drapes create comfortably sophisticated, intimate nooks.
Greene, who has known Lombardi for some 20 years, takes a stroll through the restaurant with her dining companions, taking note of decorative touches. "It's very smartly done," she says. "I call it accessible. It doesn't exclude anybody from feeling comfortable."

That's because it's well equipped to handle Dallas' see-and-be seen crowd. Soft, white leather banquettes ride against a brick wall in the dining room. Above hang large mirrors with massive wood frames, offering sitters in the rattan chairs across the table a surreptitious peek at the dining room and the traffic strolling to and from the front door. Huge mirrors hang from chains on the brick wall in the bar as well. Little shelves at the base of the mirrors hold a dense row of votive candles, sending a subtle flicker through the room.
But Bizu will have a tough row to hoe, even with an improved menu. It seems to have the right price points ($14-$19 at dinner) to plug in well to its precarious McKinney Avenue slot, once Sfuzzi's and then Coco Pazzo. Service is attentive, if abrupt and a little awkward--nothing a few squirts of oil won't fix. And the atmosphere is bright, crisp, and comfortably sexy. But it seems structured to capture that fickle wave of Dallas appearance-makers who seem to feed appetites wholly unrelated to food for a time and then move on. On a Friday night, the bar was bristling with well-primped beauty, only to grow cold and deadly silent with sudden swiftness by 9:30--perhaps an omen.
Lombardi is too good a restaurateur not to have sniffed that danger out. He's not only launched a crowd of successful restaurants in Dallas, but in other cities as well, including Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix, and Captiva Island, Florida. Bizu's promise is something Dallas desperately needs: a stylish, hardcore nuts-and-bolts French bistro with staying power. Here's hoping he's spotted a rich opportunity in the trend line that's well beyond my perception.
Bizu, 2504 McKinney Ave., (214) 303-1002. Open 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday, 11-12 a.m. Thursday, 11-1 a.m. Friday & Saturday. Sunday Brunch 11 a.m.-2 p.m. $$

Harry is a Democrat.
Harry was an active opponent of the anti-communist witch hunts in Hollywood.
Morgan's son, Daniel, died in 1982.
Morgan married his second wife, Barbara Bushman on December 12, 1986.

Morgan's first professional role was on At Mrs. Beam's in 1937.
Morgan was married to Eileen Detchon for 45 years till she died.
Morgan's mother is Anna Olsen.
Morgan was billed as Henry Morgan for fifteen years till he changed his name to Harry in the 1950s. Another man who was a professional comedian had the same name of Morgan, so things were confusing for everyone until Morgan agreed to change his name.
Morgan graduated high school in 1933 at Muskegon High School in Muskegon, Michigan. While there he was on the debate and football teams.
On M*A*S*H, Morgan's character painted pictures of all of the people in the outfit. All of these pictures were actually drawn by Morgan himself.
Morgan recieved the Gold Award of Purple Heart Veterans Rehabilitation Service in the 1970s.
Morgan enjoys reading books on history, poetry, and the legal profession.
Morgan was arrested in 1996 for beating up his wife Barbara. Barbara suffered a bruised right arm, a cut near her right eye and swollen left foot. He agreed to attend classes on spousal abuse and the charges were dropped.
Morgan owns a ranch in Santa Rosa, California where he used to raise quarterhorses.
Morgan had originally planned on becoming a lawyer until his interests in the theater were stirred.

He was married in 1940 to Eileen Detchon who died in 1985. He remarried in 1998 to Barbara Bushman Quine.
Harry is 5 feet 4 inches tall.
Harry: (on going home to Muskegon) I don't think I ever enjoyed myself more than going to high school, here. I was very enthusiastic about coming back and it's regretful that it's too short a time to visit. There really was no reason to come back before. Most of my close friends and relatives have gone elsewhere. I've been invited to the class reunions, but the arrangements were too complicated.
Harry: (on AfterMASH) AfterMASH just never worked. We did everything we could think of to fix it, but nothing helped. They kept changing the cast. I had two different ladies playing my wife, for example, but nothing helped. I think, now, that it just wasn't a good idea in the first place.
Harry: He was firm. He was a good officer and he had a good sense of humor. I think it's the best part I ever had. I loved playing Colonel Potter.
Harry: (on the ending of MASH) The sadness will fade after a while. The cup is so damn full that you can't really be sad that you don't have any more. We've all gotten so much more than we ever would have doing anything else. That will last a long, long time.
Harry: There'll never be another 'MASH.' There's nothing in the way of doing your best work on this set, absolutely nothing.
Harry: Just remember, there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything and the wrong way is to keep trying to make everybody else do it the right way.

My dearest Cock,
You are far away so I say aloud, "Your cock," and it is as if you are suddenly and imaginatively inside my body; as if you never left. My pussy agrees that this mantra keeps passion fresh with longing for the in's and out's, delving and pressing. I adore how you fuck me seriously, slowly, poundingly silly. Like body odor, your rock-hardness goes away following a shower but only for a relatively short while. And that's just the way I like it: Musky. Dirty.

Perfect Storm
The wind whipped her long raven hair into her face as she wrestled porch furniture into the house and pulled hurricane shutters into place. She was one of the last to leave the hospital where she worked as a surgical nurse, staying late to assist in the evacuation of patients. Traffic crawled through town with evacuees trying to reach the interstate, so she was late preparing for the storm. She was newly divorced, new to the area, new to the job, and had no intention of leaving. She'd worked too hard for this place, and if the wind and water were going to take it; she would go with it.

He was an older man, but not yet an old man. Though he loved the sea, it was the girls who came to this coastal town that he loved more. They touched his large callused hands in awe. They saw fairy tales in his blue eyes. They found escape from their lives in his body.

Two French aristocrats are role-playing. The priest is talking the virgin into giving him a blowjob.
"Let me be your priest, who is more a father than the priest who opens the gates of paradise for all of God's children. The key is in my hand, the signpost, the heavenly tool, the fiery sword. The matter is urgent: before the niece becomes the aunt the lesson has to be learned. On your knees, wretch. I know the dreams which walk through your sleep. Repent and I shall change your punishment to grace. Don't be afraid for your innocence. There are many dwellings in God's mansion. You only need to open those amazing lips and the dove of our Lord will come flying and pour forth the Holy Spirit. It trembles with readiness, look. What is life without its daily death. You talk with angel's tongues. The school of the convent. The language of Mother Superior. Man should not spit out the gifts of God. To those who give it shall be given to them. What falls you should erect again . . . Your hand, Madame. This is the resurrection . . . He loves only ONE virgin, the world can do with one Saviour. Do you believe this eager body has been given to you so you can go to school alone, hidden from the eyes of the world . . . If you want to know where God dwells trust the twitching of your thighs, the trembling of your knees. A tiny membrane shouldn't prevent us from becoming one body. THE PAIN IS SHORT BUT THE JOY IS ETERNAL . . . Paradise has three gates. He who rejects the third one insults the master-builder of the Trinity. THERE IS SPACE E'EN IN THE SMALLEST COTTAGE."

From the Dungeons & Dragons Book of Sex. Apparently not a joke.
There comes a time in an adventurer's life when he/she wants to engage in the act of sex. Unfortunately, most RPG rule books avoid the subject for obvious reasons. A player rolls dice from pottery to dancing, so why not sex.
At first glance, it may seem that a character can have sex for quite a long time. This is true for player characters. They have superior attributes and thus can perform better (that's why they're great adventurers). However, an average character would have attributes between 9-12. Using the below rules, an average character (10 or 11 in all attributes) could go a minimum of 10 or 11 minutes (rounds) and might be able to go an additional 10 or 11 minutes if very, very lucky (dice deities willing, but don't bet on it).
The following is the steps to go through to see if a character can continue having sex:
1) A character can initially last a minimum of rounds equal to his/her Constitution with certain modifiers. Table 1 lists modifiers to Constitution by dexterity (remember: it's how you use it). Table 2 lists modifiers to Constitution by strength (gotta be able to keep up). Table 3 lists modifiers to Constitution by the partner's Charisma (charismatic partners really enhance sex, even if their Attractiveness isn't high). If he/she wishes to continue, then he/she must make Constitution checks (Step 2).
2) The character also needs to make a time to climax (TTC) check. A 1 on a 1d6 for males and a 1 on a 1d10 for women indicates such an occurrence. An additional TTC roll is made and a result of 1 indicates multiple orgasms (keep rolling while 1s come up). Of course, males could have trouble continuing after this, but the player can make such decisions. n°

Breast Milk Ice Cream?
Via this BBC article on a restaurant that's serving ice cream made with breastmilk: Breast milk ice cream goes on sale in Covent GardenMy question, here, is roughly the same as my question about synthetic meat: beyond the yuck factor, is there any actual ethical objection to eating ice cream made with human milk?
"If it's good enough for our children, it's good enough for the rest of us," he said.
"Some people will hear about it and go yuck - but actually it's pure organic, free-range and totally natural."

The Aussie Open's quarterfinals are here and it's time to take stock. How did my early tournament predictions turn out? About the way I predicted (to myself)—nine of my final 16 were still hanging around on Monday. Of course, the women make any tennis bracketologist look good; six of my eight WTA picks made the quarters. I overestimated the power games of Mary Pierce and Anastasia Myskina and underestimated how well finesse players, or at least Swiss finesse players named Hingis and Schnyder, are suited to the slow surface in Melbourne. On the men's side, I don't feel too badly about not foreseeing the breakout of Marcos Baghdatis, though I do regret confidently informing two famous tennis journalists in my office that Andy Roddick was going to "tune him up 2, 2, and 2." The real mistake I made was picking James Blake, rather than David Nalbandian, to make the quarters. That was just too low-percentage . Maybe my critics from the comments section on this blog were right—I was being a homer. From now on, I'll stick with my old mantra about the current generation of American men: Never predict anything.
Rather than burden the world with more random prognostications—is there a less predictable pro sport than tennis?—here's something safer: a few rapid-fire reflections from the first week of Grand Slam tennis in 2006.
Points Taken
Yes, names like Safin, Nadal, and Agassi are sorely missed by TV-ratings crunchers and tennis-haters in the press, but would they have provided more entertainment, shot-by-shot, than Nikolay Davydenko and Dominik Hrbaty did in their five-set fourth-rounder on Sunday night? A great point is a great point is a great point, no matter who's in it. And despite Cliff Drysdale's protests about boring tennis this year, the neutral surface at the Aussie Open continues to produce great points.
Hingis Up, Williamses Down
Who would have believed this was possible three years ago, when Hingis was walking away from the game and the younger Williams sister was winning a "Serena Slam?" In some ways, it's a logical step in their intertwined careers. As teenagers, the Williamses were driven by the goal of dethroning then-No. 1 Hingis. When she couldn't handle their one-two punch any longer, she left the game, just as Bjorn Borg did when John McEnroe upstaged him 25 years ago. And just as it had with McEnroe, that departure robbed the Williamses of their original motivation and left them unsure of their commitment to the game.
Hingis has made this tournament. She plays a refreshingly well-rounded game—yes, there is a shot called a lob—does the little things that tennis aficionados love, and, Chucky nickname aside, is more plainly honest and human than any of today's top women. By comparison, Sharapova and the Williamses are ridiculously dramatic, Henin-Hardenne utterly unknowable, and Clijsters somehow remote beneath all that cheerfulness.
The ESPN Report
After Wimbledon last year I was hoping for increased variety from ESPN. But the network has fallen back on U.S. players and repeats of star matches. You can't really fault them—anyone who's watched French TV during Roland Garros knows that we aren't the only country that favors its own players. What's more grating are the continued attempts to "build the personalities" of the top players. This translates into time-killing analysis by Chris Fowler and a gossip columnist, and postmatch interviews with every American, even after they've just demolished an early round opponent.
Note to ESPN: Tennis fans know these players well already. We want to see matches. That's all.
State of the Commentating
Mary Carillo: As always, she's thoughtful and goofy in equal measures. Thoughtful: Her balanced take on the equal prize money question; Goofy: Her long, tortured imitation of a Simpsons' tennis episode that forced Dick Enberg to come up with a quick save (he succeeded, of course).
Patrick McEnroe: Mac the Younger has evolved, though noticing it may be a little like watching for the moon to move in the sky. He's always known the game but was long overshadowed by his brother. ESPN's expanded presence at the big events has given him a chance to step out of those shadows and assert his judicious but insightful style.
Brad Gilbert: When he's not saying that certain players get easily "fustrated" and one woman "doesn't got a lot of stick" on her serve, Gilbert brings energy, as well as semi-intended comedy, to the broadcast. Just loosen up the shoulders Brad. We know there's a neck in there somewhere.
The Luke Effect: OK, here's one personality that was worth building. At Wimbledon in 2005, Luke Jensen interviewed Lindsay Davenport after one of her wins. I was in ESPN's offices at the time. More than one person there was amazed at how outgoing she suddenly became. "I didn't know she had a personality," was the consensus. The same thing happened when Luke interviewed her last week.
German Humor
An oxymoron, you say? Check out Nicolas Kiefer's next match if you don't believe in it. The 28-year-old's career has waxed and waned, but his eccentricity endures. One example among many: As he neared match point against Juan Ignacio Chela, Kiefer heard a random sound as he walked back to the baseline. He jerked his head around—he jerks his head at everything—widened his eyes, and stared as menacingly as possible at absolutely nothing. OK, this might not be humor in the strictest sense of the word, but Kiefer's mannerisms are worth staying up late to see.
Man of the Year
What a life. Marcos Bagdhatis gets to No. 54 in the world and he's voted man of the year in his home country of Cyprus. More important, he now has the best-looking girlfriend on tour (any arguments?). Seriously, this is a terrific breakout story because Baghdatis is, above all, fun to watch. He's never afraid to go for a shot, and he's so upbeat that even after missing a first serve he'll bounce the next ball through his legs before he tosses it.

About Me
get out of the country
Pierre and I have been together for the past 5 years and we have always stayed in Toulouse. We have been talking about going out of the country and discovering new cultures for a long time and it's time to act up! We are going to Mexico for four months and are counting on this website to meet people who have a different world view, culture and life experience. We have very different personalities and can appear a bit shy at first but we open up quickly! We both would be very happy to enjoy doing whatever our Csers are interested in. We both love learning from people talking, going out, sharing a drink or three, and discovering food of course! best way to discover a country is discovering its FoOD right? mmmmmmm :) !! haha
bad jokes are always better than good ones
why drink one when you can have five
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We so far have no experience with Couch Surfing but we now know many couchsurfers in Toulouse who have made us really excited about the whole project! We mainly got into the interrested because of our plan to travel to Mexico but on our way back we would love to return the favor to anyone who wants to discover Southern France and its beautiful landscape :)
Queremos ayudar a Mexicanos (y otros ^^ ) como nos ayudaron !
Music and Food would take enough space in our lives to make up for the interest part but I'm going to try and be more specific :), We love going out in Toulouse, attending various concerts, mostly rock'n'roll. Pierre is an amazing cook (I'm sure he would be glad to make you discover great French cuisine!) therefore as I have mentioned previously, discovering Mexican food is one very exciting dimension of our trip!! We are also very fond of reading about and discussing international politics and sociology. We love to laugh and goof around with people we meet and are usually are very enthusiastic of about any encounter we would make along our way.

Also the browser on a Droid Charge with the latest update is way smoother than the Rezound. Iphone smooth and completely functional.
Would replacing the browser.apk with the other browsers work or would it result in a bootloop?
I use Opera Mobile as my main browser and just lacks the functionality that the stock/dolphin browser has.

Regulation Z is not an age cream, but it keeps some of the wrinkles out of your home loan. The Truth in Lending Act will set you free regarding terms, costs and charges presented in a uniform manner so you can shop and more easily compare. RESPA is not a breathing machine they use at closing. It is the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and it informs the mortgage borrower about transaction-related costs before settlement, as well as servicing and escrow information during the life of the loan, plus it prohibits kickbacks for mortgage loan professionals.
Purchasing a home can be stressful, but the surgeon general does not hang a disclaimer on real estate signs. Instead, the federal government has laws to help protect the consumer, especially through disclosure. You may have heard of them, you may not have. The Federal Trade Commission offers a glossary of basic real estate terms at http://www.ftc.gov/bc/edu/pubs/consumer/homes/zrea03.pdf.
If there is something about your real estate transaction that you do not understand, ask.

When it comes to trade discussions involving the Maple Leafs right now, all is "quiet" on the wheeling-and-dealing front.
"Very," general manager Dave Nonis said on Monday.
That doesn't mean the climate can't change in a big hurry. Keep in mind that this is the same Dave Nonis who, during his time in Vancouver, is responsible for fleecing the Florida Panthers out of Roberto Luongo in a 2006 trade for a package that sent Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan Allen and Alex Auld to Florida.
"Remember, we still have a lot of games before (the April 3 trade deadline) so things can change," he said.
"We'll make a deal if it makes sense both short AND long term — not one over the other."
One thing that Nonis does vow: Young, speedy defenceman Jake Gardiner will not be shipped out as part of any deal that would land the Leafs a rent-a-player.
"I can pretty much guarantee (Gardiner) isn't going anywhere under those circumstances," Nonis said.

More letters! I anticipate we will see more during 2010.
When i pointed it out to this seller he replied- 'Thanks for your opinion'
So long as people keep paying crazy prices for them the forgers will keep producing. Of course people still think they are getting a bargain and so will keep buying them.
Too true re ebay - I cant foresee any changes but worthy of an email for sure just out of principle.

Clinical pharmacology of paclitaxel in relation of patient age: CALGB 9762
University of Pennsylvania Cancer
Last Modified: May 13, 2001
Presenter: S.M. Lichtman
Affiliation: CALGB, Chicago, IL
- The taxanes are one of the most important new classes of anticancer agents to emerge in the last decade. Paclitaxel, one of the two taxanes, has been widely used in patients with various malignancies, especially in the elderly population. However, its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among elderly population have not been established.
- A total of 148 patients, age 55 years or older, with various non
- hematologic malignancies were included in this prospective study
- Total body Clearance (TBC) and toxicity of paclitaxel were evaluated
- None of the patients received paclitaxel previously
- There were 3 patient cohorts: 55
- 64 years, 65
- 74 years, and 75 years and older
- Age is a significant factor in total body clearance, AUC, and decline in WBC nadir
- The decline in absolute neutrophil count was not statistically significantly associated with age
- Age is significantly associated with grade 3 ANC toxicity
- There is decreased paclitaxel clearance with age
- There is increased myelosuppression with age
- There is significant interpatient variability in paclitaxel clearance and age related changes account for only of modest proportion
- Clinical trials evaluating the effects of aging on pharmacology of anticancer in cooperative trials are feasible

Fans of Veronica Roth's Divergent have been waiting—and waiting—to hear who will be cast opposite Shailene Woodley in the film version of the dystopian YA series.
And now we know: it's Theo James, who played the unlucky in love Mr. Pamuk on the first season of Downton Abbey, and who was more recently the lead in Golden Boy, the CBS series. He's been on our periphery ever since his earlier BBC days when he was the lead in the paranormal show, Bedlam. Now we're happy to see him taking on another new lead role in Divergent.
The cast also includes Kate Winslet, Die Hard's Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz and Maggie Q.
Divergent is scheduled for release March 21, 2014.
Check out our other coverage of Veronica Roth and get caught up on the series before the movies release!

With the top two picks in the draft pretty well set, quarterbacks Andrew Luck of Stanford and Baylor's Robert Griffin III in some order, it's been pretty popular in most circles to assume that Minnesota, with the third overall choice, will pounce on Southern Cal left offensive tackle Matt Kalil.
Such a move certainly would bolster the blindside protection of young starting quarterback Christian Ponder, but also allow the Vikings to move Charles Johnson inside to left guard, probably his better position, as the replacement for Steve Hutchinson, who was released earlier this week.
But a Vikings official insisted to The Sports Xchange that no decision has been made, and that there is still considerable debate about the No. 3 slot.
Although the official didn't acknowledge it, some of the debate is thought to focus on the team's crying need at cornerback, and the viability of LSU's Morris Claiborne in the No. 3 spot. Minnesota ranked No. 26 in defense versus the pass in 2011, and its eight interceptions tied for the league low.
The corner-needy Vikings used eight different starters, and seven different starting combinations, at the position. The team has five cornerbacks on its roster and, after the aging and increasingly brittle Antoine Winfield (158 starts), only Allen Asher (21) has more than eight regular-season starts.
Of course, with Washington dealing up to the second overall spot in the recent blockbuster trade, Minnesota's third slot could be in play now, although it's believed the Vikings haven't had any substantive inquiries yet about it. None are likely to come until closer to the draft.
"But some people here love (Claiborne)," the official said. "I mean really love him."
After a four-year absence from the top 10, there has been a cornerback chosen among the top 10 guys off the board the past two years. Whether he goes to the Vikings or someone else, Claiborne will extend the streak to two months.
Claiborne is regarded as the most natural corner in the draft. Although he ran in the 4.45-4.52 range at the combine, he plays even faster, and is maybe more technically sound than Patrick Peterson, the former LSU cornerback chosen by Arizona last year as the fifth overall pick. It will be interesting to see if Claiborne runs the 40 at LSU's pro day on March 22.
There figures to be a strong Vikings contingent in attendance, as there was at the campus workout for Oklahoma State junior wide receiver Justin Blackmon. He met immediately after his workout with coach Leslie Frazier and officials from the team, the first of many scheduled appointments on his tour of NFL facilities in the next six weeks.

Three's a charm for the Vinje brothers
Maybe it was beginner's luck or perhaps Pappa Bill was watching over them, but brothers Mason and Dylan Vinje both shot their first bucks - both eight pointers - on opening morning within 20 minutes of each other.
Mason, 11, was sitting with his Uncle Joe Vinje in his stand while Dylan, 10, was with his dad, Jon Vinje, in a different stand on the family's hunting property near Willow River.
Both boys dropped their bucks with one shot.
Mason said his buck came out chasing a doe, then went into the woods, and came out into another shooting lane and stopped, twice.
"I took the opportunity and I shot," Mason said. "Its tail was down so I knew I hit it. It ran about 20 yards into the brush and that's where we found it."
Mason said he was excited and had "buck fever."
"We feel that their Pappa Bill must have been watching down and helping them out," said their mom, Shari Vinje, explaining that William "Bill" Vinje (now deceased) was very active with getting both kids involved with wildlife management after the family bought the hunting property.
The story doesn't end there, however. The boys went out the next day, knowing that they were not allowed to shoot again unless it was an even bigger buck.
Well, Dylan saw a 9-point buck and shot, taking a second good-sized buck (courtesy of Jon's license).
"Yeah, my friends are jealous," said Dylan when asked if he'd shared the news with his buddies at Esko's Winterquist Elementary School.
While the number of hunters has declined across much of the United States, Department of Natural Resources Area Wildlife Manager Chris Balzer said Minnesota is different.
"License sales remain very steady in Minnesota, especially with deer hunting," Balzer said.
As young boys and girls can shoot with a parent in the stand as young as age 10 (and alone at age 14 if they've passed their Hunter Safety Course), young people like Dylan and Mason are part of the reason those numbers haven't fallen.
The Vinje boys are bucking the deer harvest trend this year, which is leaning toward fewer bucks and an even more dramatic drop in the number of antlerless deer taken. Shari said Dylan used a 410 slug with open sights for both deer. He shot both deer at 60- and 45-yards with just one shot apiece. Mason used a 243 rifle and his deer was at 85 yards with one kill shot.
Perhaps it's just a good year for young hunters.
According to WCCO-Minneapolis, 12-year-old Dylan Beach of Motley, Minn. dropped a 28-point buck at 100 yards with one shot on opening weekend.
Other area hunters haven't even seen a buck, let alone taken a shot at one this season.
"Pretty much everything around Cloquet is down so far, anywhere from 2 percent to over 20 percent," said Balzer, looking just at the zones that abut the city of Cloquet.
However, in Series 100 permit areas, which cover all of northeastern Minnesota, the DNR announced after 10 days of hunting that the buck harvest was even with last year's buck harvest, but the antlerless harvest was down 29 percent from 2011.
It's no surprise that the antlerless deer harvest is down, Balzer said, because the DNR issued fewer permits "in an attempt to let the population stabilize or even grow a little bit," he said.
Minnesota's firearms deer hunt opened Nov. 3 and will continue through Sunday in northeastern Minnesota.

Hundreds of Ashraf Residents in Urgent Need of Medical Care; U.S., UNAMI Must Intervene to End Inhumane Siege of Ashraf
Feb 18, 2010, 08:00 ET from U.S. Committee for Camp Ashraf Residents
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Seven months after the Iraqi forces' deadly and unprovoked assault on the defenseless residents of Camp Ashraf, members of Iran's main opposition People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the continued inhumane and unlawful siege of the camp has put the lives of hundreds of its residents in great peril.
The U.S. Committee for Camp Ashraf Residents (USCCAR), representing U.S. families and relatives of the residents, strongly condemns the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's inhumane crackdown on Ashraf residents which is clearly designed to placate the Iranian regime.
USCCAR calls on President Obama, Secretary Clinton, Ambassador Hill, the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, and the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), to intervene to ensure the immediate end to the siege of Ashraf.
An almost blanket ban on medical care and supplies is now one of the most critical problems at Ashraf. Many residents are suffering from incurable diseases and a large number of those wounded during the July raid suffer permanent injuries.
Iraqi forces, acting on orders from Committee for the Closure of Ashraf in the Prime Minister's Office, have prevented specialist doctors from visiting Ashraf. As a result many cases have turned malignant and can no longer be cured. A number of patients are losing their vision and several women are suffering from cancer.
Compounding the medical crisis is the prevention of fuel delivery to Ashraf in recent months. Food supplies are only allowed following lengthy inspections, resulting in the food turning rotten.
In recent days, in collusion with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), al-Maliki's government has transported a number of MOIS agents under the guise of families of the residents to the gate of Ashraf to exert further pressure on them. Ashraf families, meanwhile, are barred from visiting the Camp.
Iraqi authorities have refused issuing visas to US and European lawyers of the residents. European parliamentarians, human rights and religious organizations and dignitaries are also barred. Moreover, the Iraqi government still intends to forcibly transfer the residents of Ashraf to an inhabitable detention center near the Saudi border.
The 3,400 residents of Ashraf are protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention. These restrictions violate international law as well as International Humanitarian Law and constitute crimes against humanity.

The judges are doing well tonight. I agree with all of the scores for the dances I saw.
Drew was terrific! He and his partner looked great and danced the best tonight. The socks and "Thriller moves" were a nice touch.
Jerry looked good and I really like his commitment to this show.
Lisa looked and danced well, but watching Louie pretend to be macho is just distracting and outrageous.
I'm happy to say that I missed Masster P clump clump around and hope he is finally gone tomorrow.
I also missed Stacy's dance, but want to say once again that her partner is a jerk and too short to partner her.
Best to worst, per the judges:
-Stacy and Lisa
-Tia and Jerry
Best to worst, per me:
-Tia, Legs and Boyband (roughly a tie, IMO)
-Tan Man

San Diegans have the chance to win free gas and promote an Eco-friendly lifestyle, thanks to Dave Cynkin, who is participating in Ford's Ecoboost Challenge.
Cynkin was selected with seven other participants in eight different cities try to win free gas for their respective cities. The challenge consists of three parts, participants must drive an Eco-friendly car for five days to see who gets the best gas mileage; they must win the most Facebook votes, and lastly they have to get 50 volunteers to show up for a community project.
Cynkin and his volunteers worked over the weekend at the Bayside Community Center in Linda Vista. The center's executive director says Cynkin's project will help build pride in their community.
"This is a community that has an unfair reputation, that only bad things happen," Bayside's Executive Director Jorge Riquelme. "In fact it's a community where a lot of important, beautiful things are happening. We want to show San Diego and the rest of America that we can come together, regardless of background, economic, ethnic and build a community for community garden."
If Cynkin wins, San Diegans will win free regular grade gasoline at two local gas stations for two hours on Sept.2.
The winner will be selected this week.

wikiHow to Switch the Runtime on Android
Two Parts:Enabling Developer ModeSwitching RuntimesCommunity Q&A
Since Android is an openly customizable platform, the latest Kitkat update allows users to switch between the original Dalvik runtime and the newer ART runtime. Run times affect the way applications are launched as well as how memory is stored in the RAM on your devices. Doing so is only supported in devices running the 4.4 Kitkat version of Android, however, and is highly experimental. If your device qualifies, try switching runtime; it's easily done.
Part 1
Enabling Developer Mode
Part 2
Switching Runtimes
1Go back to Settings. Press the "Back" button of your device to get back to the Settings menu.
2Go Developer Options. Tap on the new "Developer Options" choice under "System."
3Go to Runtime. Scroll down until you see the Apps header, and tap on "Select Runtime."
4Switch runtime. Tap on the tick box of "ART" and a notification will pop up. It will state that the runtime is highly experimental and can cause instabilities or even make your device unbootable. If you're okay with this, tap "OK."
- The device should then take a few moments to switch runtime and reboot.
- If there are issues caused by your switch, just switch back the the Dalvik runtime again.

Family Activities: Jolly Roger Amusement Park Attraction
Jolly Roger Amusement Park
2901 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, MD 21842Jolly Roger Amusement Park is a full-service family fun center. Perfect for the family who's looking for something a little different from Ocean City's beautiful beach and boardwalk, Jolly Roger Amusement Park has a little bit of everything for everyone in the family.
At the park, you'll find water rides and slides, traditional carnival games, roller coasters, swings, zip lines, miniature golf and even go karts! Perhaps the most unique detail of the park is that there is no flat-rate admission (though some areas do require a fee be paid before people are allowed to enter). Instead, visitors pay for individual ride credits, and go on only the rides they want. Think of it as a hybrid between a boardwalk, an amusement park and a carnival.
While it's an excellent way to kill a few hours off the boardwalk with the kids, this isn't a full-out amusement park. Don't expect 60 mph roller coasters or death-defying loopdy-loops. But if you're looking for a relaxed and fun afternoon, definitely consider a visit to Jolly Roger. And if you plan ahead and visit the Jolly Roger Web site, more often than not you'll be able to find printable coupons for discounts on ride arm bands, entry to the water park, etc.

CAIRO, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- The Muslim Brotherhood announced it canceled a march on Cairo University following discussions with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.
Egyptians continued demonstrations Tuesday in Cairo's Tahrir Square to protest Morsi's decision to assume judicial authority. His office said the move was temporary and made in an effort to facilitate constitutional developments.
Saad Katatni, chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, said Tuesday that he welcomed Morsi's clarification on temporary authority. Morsi was the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for president.
"Accordingly, and in order to avoid further inflaming the situation, to avoid spilling of Egyptian blood, and in order to maintain stability and security of homeland and citizens, the FJP has decided to postpone the million-man march and rally that was called for Tuesday outside Cairo University," Katatni said in a statement on the Muslim Brotherhood's website.
The Muslim Brotherhood was banned from politics under previous administrations. Some political opponents have expressed concern with its post-revolutionary dominance, however. Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate once considered a presidential contender, said the Muslim Brotherhood's dominance left other voices sidelined in the post-revolution political climate.
Katatni said his party holds to the "deep belief" that comprehensive dialogue with all parties and movements is the best way forward in a democratic Egypt.
