NBA Sunday: Ray Allen Signing Overrated
Does Ray Allen Really Improve the HEAT?
The thing about the Miami HEAT, as we saw in these most recent NBA Finals, is that when guys knock down open three-pointers, they're basically impossible to beat. That's why they hired Mike Miller, James Jones, and now Ray Allen—to hit open shots when LeBron James either drives and kicks or backs a defender down into the lane to collapse defenses.
Allen, though, is better than the other two guys in that he can not only knock down threes more consistently than the other guys, but he can do a whole lot more than just hang around outside the line waiting for a dish, and that's a big reason so many people are lauding this free agency signing as a fast pass for the HEAT to earn another set of championship rings eleven months from now.
But here's a real, honest question that deserves a little conversation—does Ray Allen really make the HEAT all that much better?
For starters, Allen will be 37 years old when the 2012-2013 season begins, and two guards don't typically get better with age. According to ESPN.com's Tom Haberstroh, only two shooting guards aged 37 or older in the history of the league have knocked down 100 or more threes in a season: Reggie Miller and Dale Ellis.
Allen has made over 100 threes every season of his career except the lockout-shortened 1998-1999 season, but there are a lot of factors that could keep him from doing it the next three seasons in Miami.
The first is his lingering ankle issues, which kept him out of 20 games this past season. If he misses a third or more of the upcoming season, it could be hard for him to contribute to the team the way he wants to. It's hard to help a team when you're not on the floor.
Even when Allen was on the floor last year, he wasn't always himself. He averaged only 14.2 ppg last season, the lowest since his rookie year, and he appears to be shying away from anything other than non-contact jumpers, as evidenced by the fact that he went to the free-throw line only 106 times, easily the worst number of his career.
Another problem is how, exactly, Allen fits into this team's rotation. He'll likely siphon minutes away from young point guards like Marion Chalmers and Norris Cole, as well as from Jones and Miller if he makes it back safely from back surgery this offseason, but two guard admittedly isn't a position where the HEAT had a real pressing need. Dwyane Wade is going to get the lion's share of the minutes there, which means we could see some funky lineups from this group next season just to get Allen on the floor long enough to find a rhythm.
Whatever unconventional lineup Miami uses next season, it should be pretty clear that Allen will be on the floor with James, Wade, and Chris Bosh at the ends of close games, because nobody hits a corner three like Allen. His three-point percentage last season was the best of his career at 45.3%, and anybody who's ever watched him play knows he's cold-blooded in the clutch. These are attributes that Boston will miss and Miami will certainly enjoy, but Allen's combination of injury issues, age issues, and mileage issues (he's got 1,276 career games on his odometer, including the playoffs) could mean he's not quite the atomic bomb he's being made out to be.
Anybody in the league would take Ray Allen at $3 million a season, even at 37 years old, and there's no question he'll produce something and be a valuable role player for the defending champions. However, to say he makes The Big Three into The Big Four is probably overstating it a little.
The rest of the league was going to have to a hard time catching up to Miami anyway; does the addition of Ray Allen really change what the other 29 teams have to do to unseat the HEAT?
Don't Forget the Qualifying Offer, Guys
Over the course of the last week, we've heard of at least two restricted free agents—Eric Gordon and Nicolas Batum—imploring their former teams not to match their offer sheets and let them run off to new teams with zero compensation.
That, naturally, isn't going to happen. New Orleans reportedly decided to match the max, $58 million offer sheet from the Phoenix Suns about seven seconds after hearing about it, while Portland's feelings concerning Batum at over $11 million a season are a little more mixed. In both cases, however, these players seem so ready to bolt their current teams that they're forgetting about an easier, less risky way to go about it—take the qualifying offer, play out the year, and then go sign with whomever you please.
Batum recently made a trip out to Portland with his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, to implore them to either consider a sign-and-trade with Minnesota or just let him walk away.
"His mind is not there in Portland," Ndiaye told Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com. "Hopefully, Paul Allen would never stand in the way of [Batum's] dream to play for the Timberwolves."
In other words, we sure do hope he just gives away this talented young player for nothing. We sure do hope he scraps this investment because a young kid came to him in person and asked him nicely to do so. Even at 4 years and $45 million, admittedly an overpayment, Batum has promise. If he was so dead-set on leaving, why open himself up to four more years in Portland when he could've spent only one more year there had he taken the QO?
Gordon's situation is even sillier. Debate all you want about whether he's worth a max contract or not, but New Orleans knew that offer was coming and had to have been waiting for it for months now. In their early negotiations with Gordon, the best they ever offered was four years at $50 million, apparently an insulting number to a young man who played fewer than ten games in his first season with the organization last year.
That apparent disrespect is what pushed Gordon to the Suns, and after making a statement immediately following his agreeing to sign the offer sheet, he made it known that his "heart" was in Phoenix. This past week in Las Vegas at Team U.S.A. activities, Gordon expounded on that a little more.
"If [the Hornets] were interested, there wouldn't have been no tour, there wouldn't have been nothing," Gordon told Jimmy Smith of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "[If the Hornets match] as of right now, I'd be disappointed… I don't think there is (anything that could change my mind.)"
Again, if Gordon was so unhappy in Louisiana, all he had to do was take the qualifying offer, wait a year, and then any team with appropriate cap space could have signed to whatever deal they wanted. New Orleans, though, isn't going to just say "too-da-loo" to the gem of the Chris Paul trade because Eric Gordon didn't get the offer he wanted. It doesn't matter whether or not he changes his mind.
Perhaps some of these bad feelings are about young players not understanding how restricted free agency differs from unrestricted free agency. When an unrestricted player can go anywhere they want, the home team is on an equal playing field with the other 29 teams in the league and has to try and outbid other suitors. But when the free agent is restricted the home team can just sit back, let the market dictate the player's value, and then make a call on whether or not to match the offer sheet. It's not personal; it's just business.
It's what Batum, Gordon, and even Roy Hibbert, who it's being said is leaning more towards playing in Portland these days rather than returning to Indiana, apparently don't understand. The solution (playing out one more year on a qualifying offer) would've been pretty easy, but when hurt feelings and personal desires get in the way of the simplest, most logical end to a problem, players can end up stuck in a situation where they're really not happy. That can lead to even bigger problems.
Just ask Dwight Howard about that.
Could Spain Steal Gold from Team U.S.A.?
The final roster for the U.S.A. Men's Basketball team was announced on Saturday, when James Harden, Andre Iguodala, and Blake Griffin were named the final three players on the 12-man roster that will compete in London beginning later this month.
They beat out Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, and Anthony Davis to join the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler, and Kevin Love in the pursuit of a second straight Olympic gold medal for the U.S.
The question now is whether or not they're good enough to win it.
Spain will be the toughest competition for the Americans, as they are essentially bringing back the same team that won the silver medal in 2008, minus the injured Ricky Rubio and plus the recently nationalized Serge Ibaka. Pau and Marc Gasol obviously are the team's most recognizable faces, but Rudy Fernandez, Jose Calderon, Juan Carlos Navarro, and Sergio Llull are all names that should sound familiar to NBA fans, as well.
This is a team that has the benefit of having played together for a very, very long time, and outside of losing Rubio they're stepping into this competition at essentially full strength.
The same, of course, can't be said for the Americans, who have lost Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, and LaMarcus Aldridge to injuries. Had all five made the team the roster would look a whole lot different and we certainly wouldn't be having the "Can they still do it?" conversation right now.
But as it is, this current iteration of Team U.S.A. is constructed of stars, sure, but not top-to-bottom superstars as had originally been the plan.
Of course, maybe it's a good thing that players like Chandler, Iguodala, and Harden are part of the team, since they've got experience taking a backseat offensively. They could potentially help the U.S. play more of a team game, and whatever else you want to say about this group, there's no shortage of confidence. This is a team that truly believes they should win the gold medal.
And they probably should. Spain might have blown through the European Championship last summer, and Ibaka is definitely a shiny new toy for the Spanish coaching staff to play with, but the U.S. still has probably seven of the top ten players in the entire tournament. That should be enough to get it done, despite the loss of all those superstars.
Team U.S.A. is still the defending gold medalist in basketball, after all, and it would sure take a lot to dethrone them. If anybody's going to do it, though, Spain seems like the most dangerous possibility.

How an FDA Inspection Can Fuel a Consumer Lawsuit

The following is a letter from FDAImports.com Founder and CEO, Benjamin England:
As you may know, Diamond Pet Food Processors issued multiple product recalls over the last two months. On April 12, only six days after Diamond's first recall, FDA conducted a weeklong inspection of Diamond's facilities and found numerous violations. Finally, a few weeks ago, a law firm filed what is believed to be the first lawsuit against Diamond. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of an infant sickened by Salmonella, explicitly cites the results of FDA's inspection as evidence of Diamond's negligence. Don't let this happen to you.

Isidore Myers and his three siblings had a less-than-carefree childhood. Their parents, penniless immigrants, eked out a living early in the last century in Akron, Ohio, where their barely literate father painted houses. Although the family managed food and shelter, they scrambled for odd jobs like peddling papers so they too could to contribute something to the household.
From such hardscrabble beginnings, Myers nonetheless recently made a gift of more than $3 million to Newport Beach's Temple Bat Yahm, the largest single contribution in the synagogue's 31-year history. To honor the philanthropist and his late wife, the 7-acre site recently was renamed The Isidore C. Myers and Penny W. Myers Temple Bat Yahm Campus.
Human voices converge on the same note, echoing a haunting harmony -- arousing complicated emotions.
This has been the buzz surrounding an award-winning Jewish a cappella group, Shir Appeal, a group of college students from Massachusetts, who will bring their hypnotizing harmonies to Orange County's Temple Bat Yahm (TBY) for Shabbat evening service, Jan. 16. The group was named after Tufts University's mascot -- Jumbo the Elephant. The Hebrew phrase shir hapeal means "song of the elephant."

Correction: Nicholas Carr's article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" was published in the summer of 2008, not the summer of 2009 as this report originally stated. A survey of nearly 900 Internet stakeholders reveals fascinating new perspectives on the way the Internet is affecting human intelligence and the ways that information is being shared and rendered.
The web-based survey gathered opinions from prominent scientists, business leaders, consultants, writers and technology developers. It is the fourth in a series of Internet expert studies conducted by the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University and the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. In this report, we cover experts' thoughts on the following issues:
"Three out of four experts said our use of the Internet enhances and augments human intelligence, and two-thirds said use of the Internet has improved reading, writing and rendering of knowledge," said Janna Anderson, study co-author and director of the Imagining the Internet Center. "There are still many people, however, who are critics of the impact of Google, Wikipedia and other online tools." Read more...
The survey results are based on a non-random online sample of 895 internet experts and other internet users, recruited via email invitation, Twitter or Facebook from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Elon University. Since the data are based on a non-random sample, a margin of error cannot be computed, and the results are not projectable to any population other than the experts in this sample.

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Tuesday April 16, 2013 Amarillo Police officers responded to the 3500 block of north east 24th on a robbery call.
Employees working at the time of the robbery told police that they saw a woman put two cans of baby formula in her purse and leave the store. Employees stopped the woman who offered to give the cans back but refused to go back in the store and wait for police.
The woman and an employee began to wrestle when a man in gray suburban drove up and struck one of the employees in the back. The man then got out of his vehicle and threatened the employees to leave the woman alone. The man and woman then got into the vehicle and drove away.
According to police the injured employee was treated for minor injuries and remained at work.
Employees got the tag number of the vehicle and gave it to officers when they arrived at the scene. Officers located the vehicle at a nearby house in the 1300 block of Carolyn.
24-year-old Maura Duran and 30-year-old Daniel Ramos were arrested and taken to the Pottery County Jail where they were charged with aggravated battery.

Kapag mabango ang guy at malinis sa kuko at iba pang part ng katawan ^_^
Sobrang bait?
Kapag tinanong ko mga babae bakit hindi nila nagustuhan ang sobrang bait na lalaki ang sagot nila boring kasi.
haha, sadly this is true. siguro ages ago, women would be happy with sobrang mabait na guy, nagsisimba, never-been-mischievous, but really, we gotta urge for some excitement once in a while. mischief is fun. calculated risks are fun.
predictable life becomes monotonous, routinary and eventually, boring.
anyway, back to topic:
-wit definitely adds tons of points. if a guy makes me laugh/smile most of the time, i'd definitely seek him out. heck, i'd even ask him out. could use a good laugh all the time. it stalls aging too
-that thing about the money... i guess the better way to say it might be, a guy who is at leastfinancially at par with me. i'm using at least because if the relationship becomes serious, it is more beneficial if he can handle the financial aspect of the household comfortably. definitely frowning on guys who are not financially stable. at the end of the day, he might be a pain the d@mn @ss.
-healthy body is a plus too, good looks just bonus points. after all, i'd wake up in the morning with this guy's face right in front of me. it would be nice if it is pleasant, or at least makes me smile.
To TS: taga saan ka ba? hindi kasi advisable na puro verbal advice eh...dapat nasa field ka...
tara punta tayong timog, panay, eastwood, ortigas o the fort, subukan natin.
pero seriously, you should be out in the field...
try mo, mag experiment ka, punta ka sa mall...tapos kumausap ka ng 5-8 na tao...it doesnt matter kung babae, lalake, gay, matanda o bata, hindi rin importante kung anung sagot nila, basta importante kausapin mo sila...
try mo silang tanungin nito... "saan ang malapit na cr?" "anu marerecommend mong shop for guy's/women's clothes?" "where is the nearest coffeeshop?" "which way is going to...?"
pag nagawa mo toh pm mo ako.
or better yet...kausapin mo yung mga masters dito...madami kang matututunan.
I have same issue, actually me and my friend. We kept asking ourselves ano problem sa amin. Di kami pansinin ng mga girls, hehehe.
Hindi ako panget, sakto lang, my friend well, mas gwapo sa akin, hehe but we have same experience. Way back in college, famous kami academic wise, sa batch namin we dominate academic competitions, debates, sa class room favorite kami ng mga teachers, we answer the hard questions. Sense of humor meron din naman, tuwang tuwa mga classmates naming sa amin sa kakulitan outside the school (well mga friends namin yun).
We dress decently, we act with proper manner, no smoke, occasional drinker, can discuss any topic, goal driven.
PERO PAG GIRLS NA LAGAPAK NA KAMI. Well, they look into us yung admiration hanggang academics lang ata, lol. Buti pa yung classmates naming na mga walang pangarap sa buhay, soyi at alak lang ang alam, tipong mas madami pa bagsak kaysa pasado, hanep gaganda ng gf, dami admirers, dami gusto magpaligaw.
Depress na ako, hehehe
to sum it all up, and as one poster above said, you both seem to belong to the nicest bunch of guys. In short mabait.....so therefore, pretty boring too. are we right?
id say go beyond your comfort zone and just be a little more daring in your ways w/o trying too hard. for sure, you'll do just fine.
pakita mo yung mga auto mo tsong
mga ganto dapat para hindi sila mapagod
my take. i think you two seldom, if ever, approach women. listen to this. no matter how marketable you think you guys are, if you don't do the approach, if you don't talk to them first, if you don't muster enough balls to blurt at least the word "hello" then you're royally screwed for life. rarely do girls approach guys first (so you can't really count on that happening) and in the remote instances that they do, more often than not it just won't work out the way it should if you talked to them first.
second, both of you are too self-centered. how do i know? puro introspection ang sinulat mo e. malamang ganito rin ang tema ng conversation nyo ng friend mo. wag kayo masyado self-centered. go out there and just fucking enjoy people's company. don't be on the look out for girls, because when you're like that you're in a frame of mind that says "we're not getting any and we need to get some!" which is coming from a needy, desperate stand. enjoy nyo lang company ng lahat ng tao, lalake o babae. women and men alike are attracted to people who have relatively higher perceived value than they do, i.e. if you're seen as someone who won't add any value to their lives then you're just seen as wallflowers. people on the lookout for a lovelife are seen as low-value most times because there has to be something wrong with them that they have to be on a lookout in the first place.
third, sheesh. grow some balls. if you feel something for any girl then just say it, whether you like her or you just plain want to get in her pants. one-liners like 'i think you're wonderful -- and i mean it, even if i'm trying to get in your pants(/trying to get you to suck my balls)" are winners.
lastly, there are literally thousands of good dating tips on google. do your homework. walang masyadong matinong advice dito sa pex. karamihan din dito engot, at yung marurunong, they're either too stupid to put their techniques to words; or they're too busy enjoying the real world to even have time to type anything to help all the losers here.
just my two cents
1. do not pretend, just be yourself.
2. open up a good conversation.
3. have a sense of humor
4. be a gentleman
most women look beyond physical features.
one more thing i think the title should be
--> How to attract WOMEN, if you're not a head turner-type of guy?
not girls.
you know women say one thing and mean another...
sasabihin nila eto gusto nila sa guy... but that is not necessarily what attracts them to guys...
the things they want in a guy is what they want from a relationship...
attraction is not a choice...that's why it can be worked out...
Don't aspire to become a head turner. You'll have a difficult time with your current gf. Relationships won't last long. You also have to carefully budget everything as your prospects grows. It ain't cheap. When a pretty girl comes along giving you go signals, you will not be interested anymore after witnessing a horrible cat fight between your girl and another girl and another girl.
Be yourself, be a nerd, a geek. Live a carefree life. Wait for the right one to come along. She'll come.

A fading imperial city on the westernmost fringes of Europe can proudly boast of beautiful cheekbones and ageing skin. Lisbon is a secretive and romantic place. Portugal's largest city suffered a devastating earthquake in 1755 but survived the wars of the twentieth century largely unscathed. Instead of war monuments or plaques to our glorious dead, Lisbon boasts grandiose statues of ancient explorers and outlandish works of modern art. Elegantly designed by architect Santiago Calatrava and inspired by Gaudí's love of trees, Oriente Station's dynamic white arches and double decker flashing tubes make for a truly marvellous spectacle.
Overlooking the River Tagus, the de facto Portuguese capital offers a fairytale vision of Europe. Although the stylish regeneration of Parque das Nações ensures any visit to Lisbon is not just confined to an open air museum or a monolith but somewhere vibrant, secretive and highly sophisticated. Subject to enormous EU investment throughout the 1990s, New Lisbon is home to one of Europe's largest and most popular aquariums. Oceanário de Lisboa inspires children, tourists and adults alike with its stunning exhibitions of sea life from the blue planet.
Portugal's capital is a romantic throwback with its ornate piazzas, lush fountains and a street plan that ranges from serenely rational to bewilderingly crooked and steep. From the triumphal arch at Praça do Comércio to Rossio Square everything feels so meticulously planned that you feel every footstep has been accounted for on a map. There are beautiful inter-linking grids, which are all connected by flash yellow buses and rickety wooden trams emblazoned with fifties style Coca-Cola logos. Arguably the best way to see the city is by tram and the iron tracks slice deliciously across some of Lisbon's steepest gradients – where standing like so many other forms of public transport is the norm.
Down at sea level and incessantly noisy at peak periods, the Restauradores district is home to swarms of tables with napkins, menus and diminutive waiters. It is an intense and deeply pressurized environment, especially at night, where the area is like walking through a lake of food straddled by purple faced managers thrusting menus instead of oars. Elsewhere the city is exceedingly romantic and carries a feminine and luxurious charm full of civic delights.
Although this doesn't stop pathetic little men offering Class A drugs to every man under the age of forty on every street corner. Portugal became the first European nation to officially abolish all criminal penalties for possession of drugs in 2001, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and amphetamines. According to reports this radical policy has been remarkably successful in reducing drug addiction, but it does mean you will get verbally pestered by sinister looking men on holiday.
Luckily these shady forces hover around the Rossio Square and are nowhere to be seen on the ascent to Bairro Alto. The hilly ascent towards Lisbon's vibrant clubbing and shopping district is home to one of the few areas unaffected by the earthquake of 1755. Effortlessly youthful and lively in the evening, the cobbled streets are laden with housewives hanging their washing over ornate iron balconies and Mediterranean birdsong throughout the day.
The city's architectural splendour ranges from 18th century buildings, crooked hilly streets and dilapidated baroque squares with flaking ceramic tiles. Although there is a creeping sadness in the dying of the streets – pigeons can be seen flying out of broken windows and beautiful skin that once sparkled is often seen withering in neglect. Visitors should look beyond the grandiose monuments in the historic centre and wander along the side streets for a glimpse of the city's soul. Like the decrepit side streets, the city is often overlooked in an era of cheap air travel, which is a shame for Lisbon remains the essence of cool. With its fading glamour and effortless style, the Portuguese capital is one of the most understated and romantic cities in Europe.

Kanawha Circuit Judge James Stucky denied the state Department of Health and Human Resources' motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought against the agency by two of its former lawyers.
Susan Perry, Jennifer Taylor and communications director John Law were suspended in mid-2012 after raising questions about a DHHR decision to award a marketing and advertising contract to the highest bidder, Ohio-based Fahlgren Mortine. Taylor and Law have since been fired, and while Perry continues to work for the agency, she and Taylor have sued DHHR for violating state whistleblower laws. The attorneys also claim they were victims of gender-based discrimination.
Stucky's order, released last week, sheds new light on Taylor and Perry's treatment after returning to work following their nearly five month suspension. Despite being highly-paid, highly-qualified attorneys, the women were assigned to a small, windowless cubicle at the Diamond Building in downtown Charleston, away from the DHHR's main office. Instead of legal work, the women performed "document desk reviews" of Medicaid appeals, a job previously performed by a nurse.

The 2013 Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is now accepting reservation requests. Applicants are required to use current program year forms. Reservations can be submitted electronically to email@example.com or mailed to:
Self-Generation Incentive Program
Program Administrator
Southern California Gas Company
555 West Fifth Street, GT-20B8
Los Angeles, CA 90013-1011
Once our budget has been allocated we may continue to accept applications for the wait list. A place on the wait list may be secured once the Program Administrator receives all information and documentation required with the Reservation Request Form and the Project is determined to meet all eligibility requirements.
About the Self Generation Incentive Program
The Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) was initially conceived of as a peak-load reduction program in response to the energy crisis of 2001. Assembly Bill 970 (Ducheny, 2000) designed the Program as a complement to the California Energy Commissions' Emerging Renewables Program, which focused on smaller systems than the SGIP. Since 2001, the SGIP has evolved significantly. On September 8, 2011 D11-09-015 SGIP modified SGIP to conform to Senate Bill 412 (Kehoe, 2009). SGIP eligibility is now based on Greenhouse Gas emissions reductions.
What's New 2013 Self-Generation Incentive Program
The 2013 program guidelines have no significant changes from 2012. Minor Handbook updates have been made in an effort to create a more user-friendly guide through the SGIP incentive application process. Some changes in the 2013 Handbook:
- Incentive Decline: As per D.11-09-015 beginning 2013 Emerging Technologies and Biogas Rates will decreased 10%, and all other technologies will decrease 5% annually (see Rates table below).
- The Program Forms have been re-designed and updated to include the appropriate incentive rates for the 2013 Program Year, provide additional project information, and supply customer facing calculations & checklists.
- The Gas Injection Qualification Form is no longer a requirement.
- Revised language has been included to clarify the appropriate substantiation of adequate wind resource for all wind technology projects
2013 Self-Generation Incentive Program Rates
Eligible technologies are grouped into three incentive levels shown below:
Technology Type | Incentive ($/W) |
Renewable and Waste Energy Capture | |
Wind Turbine | $1.19 |

Icelandic composer Jón Leifs (1899 –1968) is one of Iceland's most interesting composers. Many of his works are about Icelandic natural phenomena like in the piece Hekla he depicts the eruption of the volcano Hekla which he witnessed and Dettifoss (Op. 57) was inspired by the Dettifoss waterfall, the most powerful in Europe.
Jón Leifs wrote 3 string-quartets, Mors et vita op. 21, Vita et mors op. 36 and El Greco op. 64.
Mors et vita he wrote at the beginning of the World War II, when he lived in Berlin.
Vita et mors he wrote in Sweden 1948-1951 in memory of his younger daughter, Líf who drowned in a swimming accident off the coast of Sweden. Líf in Icelandic means vita which means life.
El Greco Jón Leifs wrote in 1965 after taking part in the ISCM conference in Madrid. He made a trip to Toledo to see El Greco's works. The string-quartet expresses his reflections on five of El Greco's paintings.

NEW YORK AMMs Midwest Ferrous Scrap Index has plunged further after mills sent October prices drastically lower, bringing the total decline since August to nearly 20 percent.
Planned outages at several mills in the region, anemic demand for some finished steel products, continuing strength in flows of prime scrap and a big drop in monthly export markets dealt scrap prices a near-perfect blow, resulting in a decline of more than $50 per gross ton for October deliveries compared with previous levels.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A+ A+F Athletics: The athletics at Stanford are unparalleled. Not only is our football team great, but most of our other sports teams are great too. We have won the director's cup every year for like 15 years running, and we have over 100 national championships under our belt. Also, it's free to get into to most sporting events, even football games, so that's a big plus. The fan support is definitely highest at the football games, but people do turn out in force for other sports as well, especially if it's a big game. For those of us who aren't gifted enough to play D1 sports, Stanford has a lot of club teams and IM teams that are fun. The club teams can be pretty competitive to join, like men's soccer, and a lot of them are really good, like women's rugby. There are plenty of IM teams as well though if you want to play but aren't as competitive.
A+ A+F Athletics: Lots of awesome sports teams and support for those teams. The football season was especially fun this past year thanks to our Rose Bowl win!
A A+F Athletics: The fans are pretty involved at Stanford. There are traditions that are upheld that no one breaks. The students are really pumped and always yelling. There are many clubs dedicated to promoting more Stanford spirit be it giving away free food, shirts, or fans when it's hot. Especially the week of Big Game, EVERYONE is getting pumped!
A+ A+F Athletics: You Will Be Friends With Olympians – Stanford recruits top athletes in most sports and treats them very well. The facilities are excellent and while there is a very tight knit athlete community, atheletes are very much a part of the student body. Also, you will be living down the hall from someone who has been or will be going to the Olympics. This is just a fact of life at Stanford.
A A+F Athletics: Athletes, the Unavoidable – Almost everyone on campus is physically fit, mostly by being involved in some sort of sport. It's almost like any other college, however there is not a big divide between the athletes and the non-athletes. While the divide doesn't exist, you still wonder why you run into someone at you dorm only once a month. They're busy, but they're not rude or exclusive.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Alexandria Butler
Stanford really does have one of the nation's best overall athletic programs and manages to excel in everything from swimming to fencing. Everyone seems to be quite aware of the school's success, and it is a matter of pride for most students. Still, Stanford teams are not supported by the student body to the extent that other comparable college athletics are. Students are often just too busy to get out and watch many of the games. If a team is having a poor season, game attendance will be especially dismal. Students are really into intramural sports, however. If someone wants to play a sport in a semi-organized way, it is definitely possible; and even if you don't play on an official IM team, there are always a lot of pick-up basketball, soccer, or ultimate Frisbee games.
Having so many athletes at Stanford adds a strange dimension to what is generally considered a primarily academic institution. It may be interesting to have an IHUM section with future Olympic athletes, but don't be surprised when you learn that many of them scored in the 1000 range on the SAT. Still, some athletes are among the best students at Stanford and manage to excel across the board. If you don't play a sport, there is no better institution at which to be a fan—there is always a winning team at Stanford to cheer for.

From Nature magazine
The pressurized, cylindrical chamber fits in the palm of Margaret Murnane's hand. Yet out of one end of the device comes an X-ray beam that packs almost as much punch as the light generated by massive particle accelerators.
Murnane and Henry Kapteyn, both physicists at JILA in Boulder, Colorado, a joint institute of the University of Colorado and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, have reported the first tabletop source of ultra-short, laser-like pulses of low energy, or 'soft', X-rays. The light, capable of probing the structure and dynamics of molecules, was previously available only at large, billion-dollar national facilities such as synchrotrons or free-electron lasers, where competition for use of the equipment is fierce. But the report by Murnane, Kapteyn and their colleagues, published in the 8 June issue of Science (T. Popmintchev et al. Science 336, 1287–1291; 2012), suggests that the devices might soon lie within the grasp of a university laboratory budget. "For us, it's incredible that we can do this at all in a tabletop system," says Murnane. "Three years ago, people would have said 'only large facilities can do that'."
Murnane and Kapteyn, a husband-and-wife team who also head the Boulder-based company KMLabs, already sell a similar tabletop source of extreme-ultraviolet light. Murnane thinks that a future soft X-ray source should cost about US$1 million, and hopes that its relatively low cost and small size will open up X-ray studies for materials scientists, biologists and others. The beams generated by the device could, for instance, help materials scientists to make better solar materials by tracking the paths of electrons through solar cells, and might allow chemists to trace the ultrafast dynamics of photosynthesis and catalysis. "This is something people have been waiting for for a very long time," says Oleg Shpyrko, a physicist at the University of California, San Diego. Shpyrko often waits months to get his experiments accepted at the Advanced Photon Source, a synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, and must then fly his students halfway across the country to do the work.
The tabletop sources rely on a technique called high-harmonic generation, in which laser light is passed through a medium that converts it to light of shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. Shine a ruby laser into a quartz crystal, for example, and a beam of ultraviolet light comes out — albeit dimmer, but still focused like a laser beam.
Murnane and Kapteyn have pushed high-harmonic generation to its limits, with a system that uses an infrared laser as the source and pressurized helium gas as the medium. The laser creates a strong electric field, which draws electrons away from the helium atoms, allowing the electrons to absorb energy from the electric field. When they slam back in to the helium atoms, they release that absorbed energy as shorter-wavelength photons — but only about one photon comes out for every 5,000 infrared photons that are put in.
The result is light at wavelengths almost as short as those delivered by synchrotrons. By increasing the pressure in the gas — something theorists thought might defocus the light beam — Murnane and Kapteyn can produce light with a wavelength of 0.8 nanometres. Around these wavelengths, many of the chemical elements used in magnets and superconductors absorb a characteristic band of light. Kapteyn says that this could be used by chemists to discern the spin states of nickel atoms that make up the bits of information in magnetic computer hard drives, for example.
The tabletop systems have already surpassed the larger light-source facilities in terms of laser pulse speed. Murnane and Kapteyn's device produces very fast pulses, as short as 2.5 attoseconds (10−18 seconds) — faster than the picosecond (10–12) pulses of synchrotrons and the femtosecond (10–15) pulses of free-electron lasers. That timescale is even quicker than the making and breaking of chemical bonds. "At this timescale, we can start using these light sources to address questions where we have no idea what the answers will be," says Ferenc Krausz, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, and co-founder of Femtolasers, a company that sells ultrafast light sources.

Discover a cultured, open-minded city on the shore of Lake Ontario on an American Airlines flight to Toronto. Race to the tip of the colossal CN Tower and contemplate Henry Moore's curvy sculptures at the Frank Gehry-designed Art Gallery of Ontario when you fly to Toronto with American Airlines.
Zoom to the top of the CN Tower in a great glass elevator. The provincial capital and Lake Ontario look tiny from the 1,135-foot-high observation deck. Take the Sky Pod to a dizzying 1,465 feet for astounding views over the city's patchwork of parks and skyscrapers to Niagara Falls and New York beyond.
Glimpse Rubens, Degas and Rembrandt masterpieces at the Art Gallery of Ontario, housed in a billowing glass building designed by Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry. The light-flooded galleries swing from African sculpture to Tom Thomson's dreamy Canadian landscapes. We find it hard to drag ourselves away from the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre, the world's largest collection of the artist's sculptures, drawings and prints.
Have a blast with the family at the Toronto Zoo, a 702-acre parkland that's one of the largest in the world. The super popular African Savanna project contains the Gorilla Rainforest, the largest indoor gorilla exhibit in North America. During the warm months, a Zoomobile zooms you around to see the sights, including the recently added African penguins.
Be dazzled by the Royal Ontario Museum the moment you enter the jagged crystal-shaped entrance designed by Daniel Libeskind. Once inside, kids make a beeline for the 88 feet-tall Gordo the Barosaurus and the Bat Cave. In Earth's Treasures gallery, the Light of the Desert, a huge 900-carat cerussite, and the Tagish Lake Meteorite pay homage to Ontario's gem mining industry.
Explore Toronto's bustling waterfront at the Harbourfront Centre. Stroll along the boardwalk where buskers play, check out the free summer classical music concerts at the Toronto Music Garden, and let kids explore contemporary art at HarbourKIDS. Locals paddle in canoes in summer and twirl across the ice in winter on the lake below the lanky CN Tower.
Book your flight to Toronto with American Airlines today to see some of Toronto's best attractions.
Let American Airlines lead you off the beaten path to discover more things to do in Toronto. Roam fairytale castle Casa Loma, marvel at the fancy footwear of royalty and rock stars at the Bata Shoe Museum, and chow down on noodles in bustling Chinatown. American will be with you every step of the way.
Gaze across the skyline from Casa Loma, a mock Scottish castle complete with whimsical turrets, towers and neo-Gothic arches. Built from 1911-1914, the 98-room castle was the romantic abode of millionaire industrialist Sir Henry Pellatt, founder of the Toronto Electric Light Company. Best of all are the gardens in the hilltop grounds – explore the rhododendron dell, woodland walk and fountain-strewn water garden.
Slip into the Bata Shoe Museum, celebrating 4,500 years of footwear with 10,000 items. Architect Raymond Moriyama designed the limestone-and-glass museum to resemble an opening shoebox. View Egyptian sandals, Japanese fish skin boots and tiny Chinese "lotus" shoes for bound feet.

Take a ferry from Queen's Quay to the Toronto Islands, where Lake Ontario's breezes are blissfully cooling on a summer's day. The leafy, car-free islands are best explored by canoe or bicycle. Head to the 19th-century Gibraltar Point Lighthouse and sandy Hanlan's Point Beach for a romantic afternoon, or entertain the kids at Centreville Amusement Park.
Soak up the city's Asian flavor in Chinatown at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Spadina Avenue. Small family-run shops sell everything from medicinal herbs to fresh lychees, and you can buy vegetables, vintage clothing and spices at Kensington Market. By night, woks sizzle in the neon-lit district. Rest and replenish at one of the good-value eateries for noodles, crispy pork and fortune cookies.
Catch a game at the Air Canada Centre, the home base of ice hockey legends, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

] Using cellophane to convert a laptop computer screen into] a three-dimensional display ] ] Keigo lizuka] ] Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering] ] 35 St. George Street] ] University of Toronto] ] Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 1A4] ] Abstract] ] We present a novel, inexpensive, stereoscopic technique] for generating 3D displays from cellophane and a laptop] computer screen. Stereoscopy requires independent] manipulation of the left and right eye views.1 Our] technique takes advantage of two facts; the first is that] the light from the liquid crystal display of a laptop] computer is polarized light 2, and therefore we can] easily manipulate its transmission with a polarizer] sheet. The second fact is that a cellophane] half-waveplate can change the direction of polarization] of light. The direction of polarization of one half of] the laptop screen was rotated by the cellophane] half-waveplate. Two images displayed with orthogonal] polarization on two halves of the screen become separable] by wearing a pair of glasses of orthogonal polarization. ] ] A distinct advantage of our technique is its simplicity;] a laptop screen can be converted into a 3D display with] minimal knowledge of optics. An additional advantage of] our technique is that we can eliminate the need for the] observer to wear special glasses by making the computer] wear the glasses instead. This is possible because a] laptop computer normally has only one viewer at a time,] and the relative orientation of the viewer's head and the] laptop screen is sufficiently stationary. A futher] significant discovery is that we verified that] cellophane (costing mere pennies) proved to be a better] half-waveplate than a commercial half-waveplate] (costing hundreds of dollars for the required size) for] rotating the polarization of white light.

I really like the fit of these shorts. It's really hard to find a great pair in the small or some obscure store since they tend to keep the selections low. Also, I really like how you can pick your outseam length so you're not stuck with a pair you feel is too long or too short. Overall, I love the four way stretch, the material is a bit thin so when it gets wet, it tends to stick to you.

Comments about Eureka Dual Temp 20/40F Synthetic Rectangular Sleeping Bag - Regular Size:
Outstanding! I'm 5'2" and 130 lbs - this fit me great with length to spare, I was able to bring my knees up and/or move my feet all around with no binding. I got this for our small motor home where I sleep on a couch and it's compact, well made, easy to stow away and very light - a bag for all seasons. I would carry this backpacking too. Great products and great prices, with fast delivery - couldn't be happier!

I am so over work. I always dreamt that I would be a SAHM and be there to drop her off and pick her up from school everday, be able to do all the school things like volunteer for excursions, help out and be part of the school community, be there for her after school to help her with homework etc etc. Instead she spends time in afterschool care for the majority of the week, and I have to battle to get permission from my boss if I want to have a day off to volunteer for something etc etc etc.
I know these are all small things but these are things I've always wanted to do, and I can see primary school slipping away and we will never get it back. I don't even enjoy the work I do tbh. It is purely for $$$ sake.
My delimma of course is, if I leave, we will struggle to manage on one income. We can do it with some over, but not anything significant enough to pay more than just minimum repayments on our loan, and not enough to save for holidays or repairs to our house (we have a few that need attention) or anything like that. I fear leaving my job because it will really impact on us financially, and I also fear that if I take another few years off that I will find it really difficult to get back into the workforce, particularly part time as there as so few of these jobs about. But the fact is I am miserable at the moment. I am really miserable, and I can see time passing and I know I am not going to get any of this back. I really resent having to go to work because I feel like I am missing something precious that I can't ever get back if that makes sense. But at the same time I am worried that if I leave we will really struggle and I may regret the decision. My DH is happy for me to leave, he is pretty easygoing aobut it all, so he is happy to support me but I just don't know what the right thing is to do.
Any advice or thoughts would be welcome, I am really struggling atm.
ETA to clarify the situation a bit further:
Stuff we will not be able to afford if I am not working would be stuff like holidays, replacing our old car, etc etc. We would have some over, but nothing significant and would be paying down our morgage slowly just bit by bit (however we have a large chunk of it already paid off so it is not a big loan). So I don't know, how much of that is financial stability and how much is wants? Do we need to go on a big holiday, no, but would I like to give that experience to my daughter before she starts high school, yes. It's that kind of thing.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Responsibility (CR) Magazine, which shines a spotlight on America's most socially responsible chief executives, has announced today the winners of the sixth annual Responsible CEO of the Year Awards. These awards are presented to CEOs across industries that visibly exceed standards in the areas of employee relations, environmental impact, human rights, philanthropy, and corporate responsibility practices.
"In a business landscape where transparency, sincerity and social impact are ever important business goals, we are pleased to shine a spotlight on a group of individuals and their organizations which exude a commitment to their stakeholders and society," said Elliot Clark, CEO of SharedXpertise, the publisher of Corporate Responsibility Magazine.

In determining the winners, judges considered several dimensions of the aforementioned standards including: the scope of the CEO's impact on their organization and community, the extent to which the CEO drove this initiative, and the individual reputation or professional risk taken by the CEO.
The 2013 award winners will be honored at CR Magazine's Responsible CEO of the Year Awards Dinner taking place at the COMMIT!Forum, Wednesday October 9th at the New York Marriott Downtown in New York City from 6:00-8:30pm.

Room for Everyone
I know football season is upon us so I'll touch on a few things at the bottom of the piece about the pigskin, but before I get to that I have a few thoughts to put forward about the game on the diamond.
Kenji Johjima will end his professional baseball playing days back in Japan after he decided to opt out of the final two years of his contract with the Mariners. Like the true gentleman he always conducted himself as while in the States, Johjima simply asked the Mariners to release him from the remaining two years left on his contract as he left $16 million on the table to return to Japan. "He walks completely on his contract here, and we start fresh," agent Alan Nero said. "He's made this decision without regard to financial consequence. He's a free agent in Japan, and I'll negotiate the best offer I can." Kudos to a pro athlete actually following his heart and not being all about the money. Clearly, Scott Boras would never take Johjima on as a client.
Kendry Morales had a whopping 34 homers this season, this after hitting a grand total of 12 in his first 377 at-bats with the Angels in a great effort. Shockingly, only four of those homers came against lefties.
I'm still trying to figure out how Vincente Padilla has posted a 0.63 ERA over his two post-season starts. If you know how, drop me a line.
With backup middle infielders making multi-millions of dollars, isn't it odd that hitting coach extraordinaire Rudy Jaramillo is in line to become the highest paid coach in the game if he signs with the Cubs for a reported $800,000 a year? Doesn't that seem out of whack to you? Certainly does to me. The hitters have to have the talent, but a hitting coach can make a massive difference in the mindset and approach of hitters, to say little of their ability to help effect physical changes as needed. I draw the parallel of putting a supercharger in a Ford Focus. It would be fast as all hell once it was able to put the power to the pavement, but until a different suspension and setup was in place the extra power would do no good because the tires would simply go up in smoke.
Football Notes: Week 6
Did you catch the Patriots vs. Titans game over the weekend? I love the Patriots old look uni's, and check out the final score of that game, a bloodbath if there ever was one: 59-0. That score matched the largest margin of victory since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Don't worry, there were still two highlights in this game for the Titans. (1) Nate Washington had one catch that went for (-22) yards. Yes, (-22) yards. He took a pass, switched directions a couple of times, and basically tried to be like that 10 year old kid who thinks if he keeps running long enough sooner or later a hole will become available and he'll take it to the house. (2) Before he was relieved by Vince Young, Kerry Collins completed two of 12 passes for (-7) yards. Young attempted two passes in relief and both were incomplete though one did end up in the Patriots arms for an INT. Luckily neither QB was sacked, though a (-7) in the net passing category is still abysmal for any team that isn't made up of seven year olds.
The Saints are 5-0 and suddenly looking like one of a handful of teams that can legitimately be considered Super Bowl contenders. They have won all of their games by at least 14 points and became just the fourth team since the NFL-AFL merger to have seven different players score a touchdown in a single game in their 48-27 thrashing of the Giants in Week 6.

While I wouldn't classify General Powell as a flaming liberal he is hardly aligned with the Republican party anymore. Medicare and the VA have such stellar records to use as a model, just like the single payer systems in the civilized world where there is no way you would be able to do like my wife did today which was walk into the doctor's office at 8 and be out of there before 9 with two scrips in hand.
Medicare, the VA...
North Korea.
I like the plan recently endorsed by Republican Gen. Colin Powell... Universal coverage via a single-payer system. Just like the rest of the civilized world. Maybe there's hope more like minded Republicans will follow suit.
There are several Republican plans.
Here is ONE.
Please check out HR 3121 American Health Care Reform Act
If your interested.
I have been reprimanded by the liberal powers that be. :)
I copied and pasted that from a previous post (i made) which was allowed.
In fact it is still on the website. Maybe have a consistent policy?
Also since i wanted to post an original "bill" how would one not copy and paste
the contents of a bill pending in congress?
artrogue, The comments were deleted because they were copied and pasted verbatim from other sources. We're pretty generous with what we allow here, but please don't simply repost others' original content.
hahaha thats a great question. editor?
lol - why did your other posts get removed?
I make a great living creating pretty pictures too.
Don't fall into their stereotype.
artrogue - the alternatives you bring up are not viable to liberals because they do not require the expansion and deep involvement in the system by the government. Remember their ultimate goal is to get to government run healthcare so we can have a shitty system like Canada and England where you get to wait months to do anything. Also, you have to remember that if an idea is not from the liberal perspective liberals do not consider it to be a valid solution. Liberals are open minded people, as long as you agree with them and don't bring up the fact that they are usually wrong about almost everything. Except writing songs and making pretty pictures, they are generally pretty good at that.
My favorite healthcare plan put forward by Republicans is the Heritage Foundation's own Affordable Care Act. You call it ObamaCare, artie.
Name one.
There are several alternative healthcare plans put forward by republicans ...if you did some research before you drew your cartoons you might find another more worthy subject.
Your tax dollars at work. Forget about the Cracky McCrackalots....we have illegal bike parking to attend to. Cracky won't generate $$'s (cept for himself) and his paperwork takes so long to fill out when hes arrested - so annoying...but that dumb freshman from COFC who just chained up outside on King has some Daddy with deep pockets to pay his fine. By the way, Cracky votes yes! on these racks, makes it easier to steal a group at one time instead of having to wander around looking for lone bikes chained to trees and signs.
"How did this get started or approved?"
Oh, I don't know...maybe because people are so obsessed with the ACA, Benghazi, and cokehead Congressmen that they don't notice the things happening locally that actually affect their day-to-day lives?
Bike racks are a good idea. But as you can see, the local gov now has a reason to confiscate bikes for being illegally parked. There's no pocket they won't dip into.
What's a Huffy 360 going for these days anyway? And how do I get my hands on a set of Haro handlebars?
This ordinance seems completely ridiculous. How did this get started or approved? Riley and co.'s efforts to make Charleston a tourist friendly city is really ruining it for locals. GO HOME, CONDÉ NAST!
