About the Designer Alexander Girard United States (1907 - 1993) Alongside Charles and Ray Eames as well as George Nelson, Alexande...r Girard was one of the decisive figures in post-War American design. The focus of his broad work was on textile design, and a key source of inspiration for him was his passion for the popular art of South America, Asia and East Europe. The Wooden Dolls, which Girard created for his own home in Santa Fe and made himself, are likewise inspired by his own extensive collection of works of popular art and were originally intended only for personal use. Based on originals found in the Girard Estate held by the Vitra Design Museum, this distinct company of dolls is now coming out as a charming enhancement to any interior. This doll is part decorative and part toy. One of the pre-eminent designers of American textiles, Girard's work is loved by many for its lively, vibrant and bold qualities. Girard collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson at Herman Miller and designed many lively and exciting fabrics for them. Besides designing textiles, Girard was also an avid collector of Folk Art. Girard contributed his immense collection to the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The museum opened to the public in 1953 and has gained national and international recognition as home to the world?s largest collection of folk art. Features: Constructed of solid pinewood Hand-painted Delivered with a brochure in a high-quality printed wooden box Overall Dimensions: 2" H x 1.5" W x 10.75" D Design: Design is the process by which almost all objects in Vitra's surroundings are instilled with a specific design and function - from cars to paper clips, from clothing to chairs. And design does not just mean giving things a shape. Design creates the basis which enables things to function in the desired manner. It is a process in which complementary but often mutually contradictory requirements have to be met (comfort, technology, ergonomics, ecology, economics, aesthetics). Design can be successful only when the balance of all these factors is attained. Quality: Once in the factory, Vitra staff manufacture furniture to precise standards, individually ensuring the quality of each product. Vitra has been certified for DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2000. Vitra's focus on quality does not end at the factory door - they believe that providing clients with exceptional service is just as important as manufacturing furniture. In order to make certain Vitra clients enjoy consistently high quality in all Vitra products, they have set up their own test center which monitors products against criteria that are far more stringent than the statutory standards. Ergonomics: Ergonomics is an applied science that studies the relationship between human beings and machines. Vitra produces furniture that responds to the ergonomic requirements of the body and as a consequence has a positive effect on health and well-being. All Vitra products (except for the experimental series Vitra Edition) have been tested by independent institutions. They comply with prescribed standards under the European Directive on VDU Work and are marked with the GS seal (= Gepr�fte Sicherheit or Tested Safety, seal of the independent certification company LGA). Ecology: Vitra's contribution to ecological conservation does not stop with a close examination of materials and processes. All aspects of the company's work involve ecological thinking. In 1991, Vitra set up an internal ecology committee to discuss environmental topics. This team identifies new tasks, and its project teams work together to find solutions. Vitra uses only non-CFC foams and adhesives free of toxic solvents; all possible materials are recycled. Wherever possible, Vitra uses recycled materials. Vitra's goal during production is to minimize noise and emission levels as well as to reduce waste. Packaging materials are kept to a minimum and re-used as often as possible. Read More

American, US Airways announce $11 billion merger
Posted at: 02/14/2013 6:21 AM
| Updated at: 02/14/2013 6:41 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
American Airlines and US Airways say they're merging in a deal they value at $11-billion, creating the world's biggest airline.
The combined carrier will be called American Airlines but run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker. The airlines announced their deal Thursday.
Don't expect to see any changes soon. American's bankruptcy judge has to approve the merger which could take up to six months.
This deal reduces the number of major U.S. airlines to four.

Posted: Jan 20, 2013 1:20 PM by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) - Veteran ABC newswoman Barbara Walters has fallen at an inauguration party in Washington and has been hospitalized.
ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says the 83-year-old Walters fell Saturday night on a step at the residence of Britain's ambassador to the United States, Peter Westmacott. The fall left Walters with a cut on her forehead.
Schneider said Sunday "out of an abundance of caution" Walters went to a hospital for treatment of the cut and for a full examination.
He says Walters is alert "and telling everyone what to do," which is "a very positive sign."
It's unclear when Walters might be released from the hospital, which ABC hasn't identified.

Things I liked:great Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:looks good and works great it does the job Things I liked:Velcro seal on belt end is fast and easy to put on as I am going hunting/shooting. Things I would have changed:Design of pouch flaps inside. Takes up pellet storage room and sometimes causes pellets to fall out when you open pouch. What others should know:I bought one of these to put my .177 cal. pellets in as I have two of the Crossman ones for my .22 cal guns. It looks slighly different and that was the purpose so I didn't always grab the wrong cal. pouch. They are very much the same in function.

Wenslauskis: Beach reads for the adventurous
Community Voice
Warm weather always brings library requests for "beach reads."
Whether you're actually heading to the beach, or just to the pool or backyard, summer is a perfect time for engrossing books that can be finished in a weekend or afternoon off. While recent best sellers will usually do for most, I like it when members ask for quick reads that are off the beaten path. Here are a few books I've been recommending this summer for adventurous readers.
For thriller and mystery readers, there's "Rogue Male" by Geoffrey Household. Originally published in 1939, it follows an expert hunter who gets caught stalking with his rifle near the compound of a fictional European dictator. The high tension tale of capture, escape and survival that follows is one you'll want to finish in one sitting.

Cellphones and cancer: What's the risk?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cell-phones-and-cancer/AN01905
- With Mayo Clinic medical oncologist
Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.

Timothy Moynihan, M.D.
"As a practicing medical oncologist, I meet with patients and families every day to help manage their course through this disease called cancer. This experience provides unique insight into the needs of cancer patients, their families and loved ones and brings into sharp focus the need for reliable information to be readily available in terms that can be easily understood." — Dr. Timothy Moynihan
Dr. Timothy Moynihan believes that providing consumers with accurate, timely information on the broad, complex topic of cancer is the biggest challenge facing medical websites. As the guiding force behind our cancer content, he makes sure Mayo Clinic meets the test.
Dr. Moynihan, born in Las Vegas, N.M., and raised in Denver, is a consultant in medical oncology at Mayo Clinic and an associate professor at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn. He's board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice and palliative care medicine.
He did his medical oncology training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and then went on to the University of Minnesota and St. Paul Regions Medical Center for seven years before moving to Mayo Clinic in 1999. Dr. Moynihan is medical director of the Mayo Clinic hospice.
Dr. Moynihan serves as the education chair for the Department of Oncology and the fellowship program director. Four times he has been selected as Teacher of the Year in medical oncology and elected to the Teacher of the Year Hall of Fame.
Past honors include distinguished clinical teacher at the University of Minnesota Medical School, best internist at the Medical College of Wisconsin and recipient of the Upjohn Achievement Award for Excellence in Medicine. Dr. Moynihan serves on several national committees for the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
"The Internet provides a ready source of information on a wide range of topics of interest to those affected by cancer," Dr. Moynihan says. "The difficulty is trying to decide which sites provide reputable information and which information is relevant to each individual patient. The long history and tradition of excellence associated with Mayo Clinic assures you that information provided will be reliable, up-to-date and comprehensive."

Cellphones and cancer: What's the risk?
Is there any link between cellphones and cancer?
from Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
The possible connection between cellphones and cancer is controversial. Many years' worth of studies on cellphones and cancer have yielded conflicting results. Currently, there's no consensus about the degree of cancer risk — if any — posed by cellphone use.
The primary concern with cellphones and cancer seems to be the development of brain tumors associated with cellphone use. Some research suggests a slight increase in the rate of brain tumors since the 1970s, but cellphones weren't in use during the 1970s. Instead, the subtle increases are more likely related to other factors — such as increased access to medical care and improvements in diagnostic imaging.
So what have researchers learned about cellphones and cancer? Here's an overview of various studies:
- In one study that followed more than 420,000 cellphone users over a 20-year period, researchers found no evidence of a link between cellphones and brain tumors.
- Another study found an association between cellphones and cancer of the salivary glands. However, only a small number of study participants had malignant tumors.
- Another recent study suggested a possible increased risk of glioma — a specific type of brain tumor — for the heaviest cellphone users, but no increase in brain tumor risk overall.
After evaluating several studies on the possibility of a connection between cellphones and glioma and a noncancerous brain tumor known as acoustic neuroma, members of the International Agency for Research on Cancer — part of the World Health Organization — agreed that there's limited evidence that cellphone radiation is a cancer-causing agent (carcinogenic). As a result, the group classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to people.
Still, a series of recent studies can't tell the entire story. It often takes many years between the use of a new cancer-causing agent — such as tobacco — and the observation of an increase in cancer rates. At this point, it's possible that too little time has passed to detect an increase in cancer rates directly attributable to cellphone use.
The bottom line? For now, no one knows if cellphones are capable of causing cancer. Although long-term studies are ongoing, to date there's no convincing evidence that cellphone use increases the risk of cancer. If you're concerned about the possible link between cellphones and cancer, consider limiting your use of cellphones — or use a speaker or hands-free device that places the cellphone antenna, which is typically in the cellphone itself, away from your head.

Only 1 week into my first PH cycle and I have a question in regards to nipple sensitivity..
From reading via search I know it's not gyno..
But just how common is it and when do you get concerned?
There is no pain, or swelling. I really can't describe it other than to say they are slightly more sensitive. I feel my shirt rubbing them when I move my arms.
I'm not panicking or anything, just want to get some clarification on how common it is and whenif it continues I should take action. Thanks..

Why, why more American Pie?
It's a lame one, just the same one, now with much older guys.
And starlets wearing mileage from all their whiskey and rye.
Singing "Why did my career go 'bye, bye'?"
American Reunion is a slow and sad, crude and cruel, tame and timid return to the scene of the crime against pastry. No, they don't joke about how this all takes place an unlucky 13 years later. But life hasn't run according to plan for the lads — Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Stifler (Seann William Scott).
Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), on the other hand, roars up to the pre-party for their "13th reunion" on a motorcycle, full of tales of adventure and derring-do.
Jim is married to band-camp tart Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and they have a toddler. Oz is a cable-TV sportscaster who never made it to ESPN, with a hot young model girlfriend (Katrina Bowden) who is entirely too wild for his mild-mannered ways. Kevin is an architect and stay-at-home dad. And Stifler suffers the fate of many an ex-jock bully boy — living in the past because the present, in which he has to work for guys like the ones he beat up in school, is agony.
They decide to make this reunion their Hangover weekend — heavy drinking, drugs, chasing old flames or high-school girls and hiding their transgressions from their significant others.
Harold and Kumar veterans Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg wrote and directed this trip down Full Frontal Nudity Lane. They are lost in trying to update the exhausted franchise, failing to find any funny new lines, relying on shock laughs involving oral sex, using an ice chest as a toilet and whatever dated dose of crudity Stifler blurts out.
There's an interesting but obvious contrast scene between the "wild boys" of yesteryear and the drugs, sex and "party rock" teens of today. That nails American Reunion in just a few moments of screen time.
How can a bunch of sad, sentimental 30-somethings be edgy in the age of Project X and Superbad? They can't.
And the struggle — undertaken by a cast of (mostly) desperate actors (Tara Reid, John Cho, Mena Suvari and Natasha Lyonne make token appearances) whose careers peaked with the American Pie movies — shows.
Watching folks in this age range get tanked and make bad decisions isn't nostalgic. It's just sad.
Just like a real reunion.

PHOENIX - Phoenix wants the Arizona Legislature to take new steps to combat graffiti, including some that could yank driver licenses of juvenile offenders and hit the wallets of their parents.
A city task force wants legislation enacted to mandate full restitution by minors convicted of criminal graffiti damage.
Under that proposal, there would be a restitution liability for parents capped at $10,000 if the minor can't pay.
Also, juvenile offenders could have their driver's license suspended or taken away, and spray paint would need to be locked up in every store in the state.
KPHO-TV (http://bit.ly/ZPuKFH) reports that the areas of Phoenix hardest hit by graffiti are inside the perimeter of 43rd and 59th avenues and McDowell and Camelback roads.

Teen Safe Driving
Educate YOUR teenage driver on road safety, driving rules, facts and statistics and the dangers of texting while driving!
Parents: Your Role
The State of New York has set laws for young drivers. Parents need to determine their own family rules in addition to the state laws. Make sure both sets of rules are clear from the start.
Enforce a passenger limit - According to New York State DMV, Teen drivers under the age of 18 that hold a junior learner permit or junior driver license, must be accompanied by a licensed adult that is a minimum of 21 years of age.
Enforce safety belt use for your teen and all passengers - New York State DMV also states that NY's Seatbelt Law requires that all drivers & passengers riding in the front seat wear a safety belt. In addition, every occupant, regardless of age or seating position, of a motor vehicle being operated by the holder of a Class-DJ Learner Permit, a Limited Class-DJ, or Class-DJ Driver License must be restrained by a safety restraint. All passengers under 16, no matter where they sit in the vehicle must be wearing safety belts or use an appropriate child safety restraint system, if not, the DRIVER will be issued a ticket for ALL violations. That can get pretty expensive!
Consider setting an earlier driving curfew - especially for the first six months. Set clear expectations, and ensure your teen obeys the state laws.
101 Days of Summer: Get the Facts!
According to Youth Traffic Safety Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
- Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S.
- Nationally in 2006, 4,842 teen passenger vehicle occupants, ages 16 to 20, were killed in motor vehicle crashes, and 58 percent (2,813) were unrestrained at the time of the fatal crash.
- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), teenage drivers and passengers are among those least likely to wear their safety belts.
- While all teens are at a high-risk of experiencing a fatal crash, according to NHTSA, young males, pickup truck drivers and passengers, as well as people living in rural areas are also among those least likely to buckle up.
- During 2006, a teen died in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week.
New York Teen Accident Numbers!
A recent Newsday story stated that in New York State, 236 teens died in traffic accidents and another 236 individuals were killed by cars driven by teens in 2007 alone.
The NYS DMV states that 32% of all fatalities in the years 2004 through 2006 occurred in crashes that involved younger drivers.

Summary and Book Reviews
A Map of Home: Summary and book reviews of A Map of Home by Randa Jarrar
Coming-of-age themes are common, but the intelligent narration provides more than enough interest to sustain the momentum. Rare is the book that makes one stay up to finish it; this is one of them, simultaneously circling in its family dramas and spiraling outwards in its connections to history and place. Adult and teen readers alike would enjoy Nidali's honest portrayal. She's the Muslim equivalent of J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield, tender, caustic and wise in all the right moments.

Video from Georgetown University
WASHINGTON, DC -- U2 singer Bono mocked Syracuse University's Otto the Orange during a speech at Georgetown University.
After briefly speaking about the political advertisements surrounding the presidential election coming to an end, he asked the audience, "Can you imagine what it'd be like if we did this for everything, all the time? Attack ads about TV shows, rival smart phone companies….college admissions."
Bono followed that question with a mock attack ad against three of Georgetown's rivals – University of Virginia, Syracuse University, and Duke. (The comment is made about 18 minutes in to the video above.)
"Let me say a few words about some other fine schools you might be considering. UVA, Thomas Jefferson, what have they done for you? Syracuse, a school whose mascot is a fruit. Duke, a school that worships the devil," said Bono.
The remarks were part of a speech the U2 singer gave at a GU Global Social Enterprise Event.

There were top ten times in Canadian practice for Kamui Kobayashi, Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg...
Kamui Kobayashi: "I am happy as we had a very smooth day today. It was nice that the weather conditions remained stable and the rain only came after the second free practice was over. I think we are doing alright in terms of set-up, but it is difficult to say how this will look tomorrow as we are expecting higher track temperatures. For me both tyre compounds, the soft and the super soft, look okay. The difference between them is quite small."
Sergio Perez: "My car is very well balanced on a high fuel load, but we need to improve it for qualifying conditions, as we haven't got that right yet. However, I have the feeling we can be quite competitive here, and I am really looking forward to my first qualifying and race on this track. Getting used to the circuit wasn't an issue at all because I knew it from last year's first practice session as well as the simulator."
Michael Schumacher: "Our work was pretty typical of a normal Friday, however we used the softer tyre this morning to make sure that we could complete our full programme in case of rain later on. This afternoon, we then concentrated more on the set-up and balance. I had a good feeling in the car but it's too early to make any predictions for the weekend so we will have a good look at all the data this evening and go from there. I really enjoy this track so it's nice to drive here again."
Nico Rosberg: "We had a good day today, although the track temperatures were quite cold which should not be the same over the weekend. This made it a little more difficult to warm up the tyres, but we were able to collect some good data on our long runs and have a lot of information to look at. It's a great track here and I'm really enjoying being in Montreal."
Pastor Maldonado: "We completed all of the things that we had planned for the session so we have had a productive day and are in a good place heading into the weekend. We still need to work on the set-up to get the right balance, but overall the car felt good and was consistent, particularly on the long runs. We have also brought some upgrades to this race and they were performing well which is encouraging."
Bruno Senna: "It was a difficult day today. I had DRS issues during the morning session and have limited experience of this circuit so today was about getting my eye in and seeing how far I can push the car. Obviously I pushed too hard towards the end of P2 and hit the wall, which is disappointing. Nevertheless we have made some improvements on the overall package and tomorrow morning I can go out and try to fine tune the set-up to get a good result on Sunday."
Lotus F1:
Romain Grosjean: "Today was my first time at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and I really enjoyed it. It's not an easy track, and the weather wasn't what we're expecting for the rest of the weekend so it's a shame not to get some running in warmer conditions. We've spent a lot of time learning how the car behaves here and trying a few different things with the setup. We have a good amount of data, but obviously we'll need to work just as hard tomorrow if the temperatures are higher. The car felt good and we did a few laps on the super soft tyres as well, so overall it was quite a useful day."
Kimi Raikkonen: "It was an okay day for us. We expected rain in the afternoon so we used the super soft tyres in the morning to make sure we could do some long runs, and we completed everything we needed to do today as the rain didn't come until later. I'm not 100% happy with my setup and I think we're missing a trick somewhere. It's not a major issue, but I know we can go faster. Let's see how it goes tomorrow, anything can happen and hopefully it's a little warmer as that usually seems to help."

PJ Media
April 16, 2012
by Ronald Radosh
Imagine if David Duke were now a Republican Party kingmaker, and Mitt Romney and other presumptive candidates had to go to his organization's events, seek his endorsement, and stand by his side — just as he was presiding over rallies seeking mainstream support for George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin's shooter. Yes, everyone knew Duke was once a Ku Klux Klan leader and had only slightly cleaned up his racist act, but now he came on as a non-partisan fighter for justice on behalf of aggrieved white males, and when he spoke, wore pinstripe suits, especially when presiding over his own TV talk show.
If that scenario existed, every news anchor and reporter, and every single Democrat and liberal, would blast the Republicans non-stop. They would castigate any Republican candidate who dared appear at David Duke's side. They would use Duke's past — rightfully so — as an example of very bad judgment on the part of any Republican who gave him even a moment's attention.
Well, I think you know where this is leading. At the present moment, leading Democrats flock to gain the approval of the racist demagogue and race-hustler Al Sharpton, who, just four years ago, found that the Obama campaign put him at more than arm's length in order to make it appear that candidate Obama was mainstream and wasn't part of the divisive racial politics of the past as practiced by Sharpton and company.
It seems 2012 is quite a different matter. Dana Milbank explained Sharpton's new power in Sunday's Washington Post:
Everybody wants to be on Sharpton's good side these days. No fewer than five Cabinet officers and a senior White House official went to this year's convention [of Sharpton's National Action Network] to kiss his ring. President Obama spoke at last year's conference and has sought Sharpton's advice on policy. Sharpton has a show on MSNBC five nights a week, and he doles out airtime to a procession of politicians and journalists (including me).
How things change in a short four years. From pariah to the equivalent of what the pope is for Catholics. Speaking at the convention of the reverend's National Action Network (sponsored, as Sharpton pointedly stressed, by Fox News, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, all Rupert Murdoch enterprises), Attorney General Eric Holder praised Sharpton for his "tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless."
All but forgotten is Sharpton's past. He honed his technique of rabble-rousing 25 years ago, when he led the fight on behalf of Tawana Brawley, a black teen who falsely said she had been kidnapped and raped by a gang of white men. Sharpton succeeded in ruining the career of District Attorney Steven Pagones, whom he not only accused of racism but of being one of the perpetrators of the abduction and rape. Later, in 1995, he inflamed black residents of Harlem when a Jewish merchant sought to expand his store. Sharpton called the owner a " white interloper," and one inflamed Harlem resident burned down the property, killing eight employees.
In the Crown Heights riots in 1991, Sharpton engaged in inflammatory antisemitic rhetoric, stating: "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." In 1994, referring to gays, he said, "White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." (Now, of course, he says he is opposed to homophobia.) And referring to Mitt Romney and his Mormon religion, Sharpton said, only five years ago, "as for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation."
This is the man who Milbank writes is "arguably the most prominent civil rights figure in the country…[and] a kingmaker in Democratic politics." If Milbank is right about Sharpton — and the evidence indicates that he is — it reflects just how much the old-fashioned, centrist liberalism of the past no longer exists, and just how far to the extreme left the Democratic Party has fallen.
As for Sharpton's role in the Trayvon Martin case, he assumes, as he did a quarter of a century ago when the Tawana Brawley case took place, that Martin was killed by Zimmerman because the man who murdered young Martin was a white racist, motivated by racist hate. Mark Hemingway points out Sharpton's role in the Weekly Standard:
Despite scant evidence that race was a factor in Martin's death—George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin while on a neighborhood watch patrol, is Hispanic and claims the killing was self-defense—Sharpton came to Florida to tape on location, thundering that Martin was a victim of racial injustice. Not surprisingly, Sharpton promulgated at least one glaring untruth, claiming Martin was in the morgue for three days before his parents were informed he'd been killed. "How do you leave this kid in the room like he's a worthless piece of meat?" he railed. However, this is contradicted by the fact Martin's parents were discussing their son's killing on a local news broadcast the next day.
The facts don't count with Reverend Al. They don't have to, when a writer like Milbank has told us he has "mellowed," and even Rupert Murdoch's enterprises feel the need to sponsor his activism and sing his praises. With Sharpton manning the barricades and continuing to play the race card in the Trayvon Martin shooting, one has to ask: can George Zimmerman be expected to get a fair hearing by the court or a fair trial in such an atmosphere?

Jerrie Williams is a blogger on the Beauregard Daily News website. The name of her blog is C.O.P.E. Community Organized Parents in Education. This blog is syndicated statewide to all GateHouse websites. She will not only be blogging about local education concerns, but information about resources for parental research on different subjects concerning children and their well being. Jerrie Williams is the mother of three autistic children. Her journey began in 1999, when she discovered that her children were not developing according to the national mind stone charts. This was after they had received immunizations and developed reactions to them. She later learned the immunizations contained an agent that her children were allergic to, which led to their developmental delays. She moved her children to Georgia to be treated by a specialist in autism and brain injury in 2000. Since then she has been searching and discovering several research-based interventions and resources to educate, support and assist in the recovery of autism. She moved to Louisiana in August, 2011, and has been involved in educating the community about autism and the resources available to parents of autistic children as well as adults with autism. She has been instrumental in helping the Beauregard Parish school system to design an individualized curriculum that was suited for the educational needs of her children as well as other special needs children. Her children have since blossomed with this curriculum and continue to thrive. She will continue in her journey as a mother and an advocate for others.
Nick Lachey loudly threw his support behind his favorite NFL team, the Cincinnati Bengals, this weekend - and he got thrown out of the game for his efforts.
Lachey was allegedly trash-talking at the Bengals-Chargers game in San Diego when he was forcibly escorted from the stadium by security. TMZ posted video of the incident.

There's no word on what exactly caused him to be kicked out, but Lachey tweeted Monday: "Majority of charger fans were awesome yesterday, thanks for the hospitality! Sadly, there is always one guy that ruins it for everyone....."
The ejection did little to dampen Lachey's spirits, though. "Just got kicked out of the chargers stadium and couldn't be prouder! Go Cincy Bengals," Lachey tweeted shortly after being removed.

And later, after the Bengals defeated the Chargers 20-13, he added: "Bengals win again. i'd talk trash to everyone in SD, but what's the point? You already had me kicked out of the stadium and you still lost."

text: I should probably start off by saying that this is probably NSFW. Grant Orchard, an Academy-nominated and BAFTA-winning animator, created a one-minute provocative but harmless animation. The piece was also created to celelbrate onedotzero's 15th birthday. Who knew that simple shapes in the right movement and colors could create such a suggestive piece? Well, I guess the soundtrack kind of attribute to it too. I just think that its really fascinating how such simple things work together [Read More]

• I was among a group of reporters who attended the second session of quarterback and receiver drills Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. After three days of talking and writing football, it was nice to see balls in the air.
West Virginia's Geno Smith and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib came to the combine rated among the top few quarterbacks, at least among those who threw. Both were solid Sunday, although I thought Smith had a little better day and ran well for a big guy (6-foot-3, 214 pounds).
Tennessee wideout Cordarrelle Patterson looked big, fast and raw. The Rock Hill native was not particularly fluid getting out his cuts. But he's a physical specimen who will be drafted high – before the Panthers pick at 14.
• Some critics thought South Carolina receiver/returner Ace Sanders erred in leaving Columbia a year early. Uh, not so much. Though he tweeted he was unhappy with his 40, Sanders looked incredibly quick making his cuts and made a great, fingertip catch on a post-corner route.
• The NFL Network cameras zoomed in on Patriots coach Bill Belichick watching from a luxury box. It appeared Belichick saw himself on a TV monitor and pretended to nod off, although that presupposes Belichick has a sense of humor. He could have been loosening his neck with his eyes closed.
• Among the locals, Elon receiver Aaron Mellette had a good day, despite a drop on an out route. Duke receiver Conner Vernon slipped after making a catch, but popped up and finished the drill.
• By Sunday, the media room had mostly cleared out. The remaining reporters were running on fumes and bad coffee. If any prospects next year get caught in a catfish involving a dead, fake girlfriend, they should wait until Sunday to face the media.
• Most of the coaches from the Panthers' revamped offensive staff were on the Sunday evening flight to Charlotte. New quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey watched the QB workout. The Panthers will be looking for a backup if they don't re-sign Derek Anderson. They're pretty set with the No. 1 guy.
Go to Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse if you're in Indy. Very cool, historic venue, like the Palestra in Philly. After the game, go to Plump's Last Shot, owned by the Milan High star, Bobby Plump, whose last-second shot won the 1954 state title for Milan High and inspired "Hoosiers." Soak in the memorabilia at the bar, and the grease. Get the fried pork tenderloin sandwich. Count calories when you get home.

On September 1st, 2009 Speechi became the first company to adopt the "Altruistic Capital" business model: 10% of its capital now belongs to the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP), Eugène Rutagarama's NGO. Eugène was awarded the Goldman Prize in 2001 and IGCP leads an outstanding conservation work of the very few last mountain gorillas in Rwanda. IGCP is now one of Speechi's shareholders. It will from now on get 10% of all of our yearly profits. If Speechi were ever to be sold, IGCP would get a 10% cut of the deal.
Altruistic Capital is a donation in shares. Its goal is to assist public interest causes by giving them access to the substantial financial resources of private companies' capital.
This preface is first and foremost a call to entrepreneurs. If there is one thing Eugène Rutagarama has shown in his life – the one thing I derived from our chats – it's that every one of us can make a difference.
Entrepreneurs face a constant struggle in today's economy, they are overwhelmed by daily tasks to the point that it's almost impossible for them to act sustainably or altruistically over the long term. They can now very easily achieve this goal by embracing the Altruistic Capital model.
Altruistic Capital can be adopted by any company regardless of its area of activity. Each entrepreneur is free to select his non-profit organization and to decide what percentage of its capital should be donated. The NGO's goal doesn't have to be related to the company's activity. The company's profitability as well as the financial resources available to the entrepreneur are not hindered by such a donation. The company retains all of its performance and competitive edge and can even gain from the positive impact the donation may have on its public image.
In fact the more the company grows and develops, the more it contributes to its cause, one of its shareholders.
The main point here is for non-profit organizations to gain access to equity-based resources comparable to those of private companies, enabling them to act with comparable forces. Way too often do humanitarian efforts come to a screeching halt when Economic Interests take over.
Why the gorillas ? Much as for the White Whale, the Old Man's fish, they stand for humanity itself. Most of Eugène Rutagarama's preservation quest started after he escaped the Rwandan Genocide where his family was slaughtered.
Gorillas are also a personal and emotional choice. They inspire me, I'd like for my children to be able to see them someday – or at the very least know they exist somewhere outside of a zoo. Somehow it's a choice from the heart – based on feelings I would have a hard time justifying rationally to anyone accusing me of excessive mushiness. This said, materialism – the holy grail of the past century – has caused millions of deaths. And we can now see the so called economic "logic" endangering the entire planet.
It's time to give feelings a try.

Youth Conservation Crew
The Youth Conservation Crew provides summer employment opportunities for a diverse population of Portland-area youth, ages 14-18. Crews protect, restore, and manage Portland's parks and natural areas while developing essential job skills. In 2011, YCC employed 56 teens to:
- save 398 trees
- maintain 575 newly planted trees
- mulch and water 1,706 plants
- improve 8.8 miles of trails
- teach 2,008 kids and adults about urban ecology and conservation
Who are the teens?
The teens involved with YCC come to the program in a variety of ways. Many teens have volunteered with other PP&R programs including the No Ivy League and Greenspaces Restoration & Urban Naturalist Team (GRUNT). Programs target recruitment from 75% Free & Reduced Lunch schools in Portland, but is not exclusive. Other teens enter the program through past and current partnerships with the Office of Youth Violence Prevention, Catholic Charities, SE Works, NAYA, and referrals from school counselors. There is also an open recruitment so that anyone age 14-18 can apply.
How do I apply?
The application process begins in the spring, typically at the beginning of May. A pool of applicants is selected for interviews. Teens who worked in previous years must reapply for the program.
What do we do?
Teens are hired to be a part of one of the following crews:
The No Ivy League (NIL) restores the native habitat of Portland's natural areas with efforts in removing invasive plants. The NIL removes ground ivy as well as ivy growing up into native trees, effectively saving the tree from premature death. In July and August of 2011, the No Ivy League removed just over 50,000 square feet of English ivy in Forest Park and other west side natural areas.
The Tree Crew works alongside City of Portland arborists and high climbers learning proper pruning techniques, maintaining the health of Portland's urban canopy, and increasing the safety of park patrons. The YCC Tree Establishment Crew works in Portland parks and on Portland Public School properties as part of PP&R's Neighborhood Tree Stewardship Program.
The Trail Crew builds and maintains trails in Portland's natural areas. Using industry accepted techniques for sustainable trail maintenance, the crew focuses on reducing erosion entering Portland's rivers, streams, and water bodies by improving grading and drainage, improving stream crossings, and closing unofficial trails.
The Teen Naturalist Team (TNT) is the education arm of the YCC. Bolstered by a love of nature and a passion for educating people about the environment, TNT educators teach environmental science and lead activities for children ages 6-12 in SUN School and community summer day camps in the Portland area. They also don't shy away from teaching teens and adults!

NVIDIA made its GeForce GTX 480M GPU official today. The DirectX 11 compliant GPU is based on the GF100 core and packs all the features of its desktop counterpart, such as decentralized hardware tessellation, next-generation CUDA and DirectCompute 5.0. The GF100 core has a configuration similar to the GeForce GTX 465 desktop GPU. It has three of its four graphics processing clusters (GPCs), and 11 out of 16 streaming multiprocessors (SMs) enabled, giving a CUDA core count of 352. To reduce the overall board footprint, the GPU makes do with a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, with 1 GB of memory. To make keep up with the electrical constraints of notebooks, the GTX 480M uses much lower clock-speeds than any desktop product that uses GF100. The core is clocked at 425 MHz, shader domain at 850 MHz, and memory at 600 MHz (real) or 2.40 GHz (effective), which gives a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. As mentioned earlier, the full feature-set of its desktop counterparts is packed with the GTX 480M, including support for NVIDIA 3D Vision, PureVideo HD, PhysX, and CUDA. It can pair with up to two boards of its kind in 2-way SLI. Constraints of the notebook form-factor won't allow any more boards, anyway. The GPU is open to Notebook manufacturers to plan their designs around. NVIDIA claims the GTX 480M to be the fastest notebook GPU. It finds direct competition in the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, which is based on the 800 stream processor-laden Juniper core.
Well at first it was all those videos of the notebook batteries catching on fire - soon we will be able to see all those GTX 480M's going up in smoke. Seeing that oversized warning label on the bottom of the notebook : WARNING - only use for 10 minutes at a time!!
Shader clock @ 850MHz and core clock @ 425MHz? I guess it's time for AMD to release a Cypress-based "Mobility HD5970" for +18" laptops. I wonder what's the point but whatever..
With these clocks, it's not going to be that much faster than the GTX 285M which in turn is a tad slower than the Radeon Mobility 5870. I think it'll be just a little bit faster than the RM 5870 but at what cost (if you take silicon size and TDP into account)?
I really wish they'd label the laptop parts with some consistency to their desktop siblings. To me, this does not appear to be the mobile equivalent of the GTX480 - it the mobile equivalent of the GTX465. Yes, it's the fastest they will (probably) produce in the mobile market, but why not just have the GTX465M as their fastest (mobile) part? This makes me
We have no idea what the TDP for that chip is. Running at 200 Mhz less can vastly affect the power consumption. Much lower voltages might be needed and I really mean MUCH lower voltages. Fermi consumes that much because it's leaky and 40nm process is very leaky too, Fermi is the sum of both facts. But what applies at 600Mhz++ might not apply at below 500mhz. Performance wise it looks much faster than both 285M and Mobility 5870, even at 425Mhz, considering that we can say that their desktop counterparts are the 9800GT and 4850 respectively. Because the 8 is for the high-end part, and this is the high-end part. The M is there to say it's the mobile part. GTX465 470 etc. etc is not the name of the chip, it's the name of the product and has to be taken like that.
no im sorry but the 8 is there so the majority of less then educated consumers goes ZOMGZ THEERZ A 480 IN MAH LAPTOP!!!1 and buys it
480M's TDP is 100W. For refrence, RM 5870's TDP is 50W. The RM 5870 is directly comparable to the Radeon HD 5750. The 285M is more like a 9800GTX with lower clocks but it's still faster than a 9800GT. Xbit has a review of a Geforce GTX 465: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/geforce-gtx-465.html 352 shaders - 608Mhz core - 1215Mhz shader - 102.7GB/s mem If you take the GTX 465 results and take around 30% off then you'll get the idea of how the GTX 480M will perform. Even if it's faster, at what cost did it become faster? Double the TDP, 3x bigger silicon, more complex PCB, ... I mean, you can have a RM 5870 CF in the same power envelope beat the crap of the GTX480M.
Will work for 20,000 mAh laptop battery. Btw, EUROCOM will kick ass of any GTX480M laptop with CF 5780 replacement lap's.
Where did those TDP numbers come from? I've yet to see the TDP of the 480M posted anywhere. Like to post a link? Thank you. 100w TDP is not that much anyway and I have yet to see a laptop where you can game when running from the battery. Most that I've seen don't last more than 0.5 to 1 hour, and honestly 1 hour or half an hour or 15 minutes who cares? In order to game you need to plug it, perdiod and 50w of max difference is not going to change anything. Most of the times the difference would be much smaller and it's even posible that the future laptops with the 480M actually last more/consumes less than with the 5870M because of Optimus technology. here's a review on the 5870M: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/avadirect-clevo-w860cu-mobility-radeon-hd-5870,2615-11.html ^^30 minutes of battery life. GTX285M wins hands down with 45 mins. Regarding the silicon, PCB, etc, who the hell cares? Nvidia is the only one that needs to care and they are doing just fine financially. To make a GPGPU instead of a GPU was their choice, and only theirs, and theirs was the risk and you know what? They are doing excelently, they are selling those GPUs and Teslas like hotcakes (add the deal with IBM to that). What matters to us is how much we pay and we pay the same price/performance 99% of the times. 5870 CF would consume a lot more than the single GPU when not gaming and kill the battery in a whisper. You cannot game on the battery, period and I bet that fermi + optimus destroys the 5870M in overall battery efficiency.
yea i'd definitely have to say i think this'll easily steal the crown. True the GTX 285m has higher clocks...but seriously its' only at 576/1500/2040. but don't forget the GTX 480m has(if it is indeed an underclocked GTX 465) 32ROP's compared to the 285m's 16. 480m also has 224 more SPU's(175% more) and faster memory. I'd definitely say those specs will outdo a 285m and HD 5870 mobility, giving nvidia the mobility, single-gpu crown.
I'm actually impressed they squeezed this kind of horsepower into a mobile part. I bet with some cooling mods, it would clock like a beast. Give me one in a 15" laptop, please.
Small dim poorly coloured screens, extreme heat, high costs, rubbish sound, fiddly controls, short lifespan, loud whiny fans, short battery life, high chance of losing it, dropping it, or having it nicked. Those are the reasons I don't buy gaming laptops and would much rather spend my money on a desktop and have a s**t old laptop instead and use that for internet and typing. Thats all a laptop should be. What a stupid idea putting such a powerful chip in a laptop. Only once have I had a laptop with a discrete GPU, and it was constantly overheating. Seriously who needs to game while on a bus or on a plane or whatever. I can't think of a single good use for a gaming laptop. Like Netburst. It's just like the Core i7 920M. It is nothing like the REAL 920. It's just a Lynnfield.
Lan parties. Having only one computer for work and play, instead of 2. Somebody that spends a lot of time on the road in hotels and such, but still like to game. Just because you can't find a use for one, does not mean that no uses exist.
I don't know why i bother but here goes: What i don't understand is that you keep talking about battery life while i didn't say one word about battery life. 1- http://www.nordichardware.com/en/co...om-reveals-geforce-gtx-480m-100w-monster.html Google? 2- 100w isn't that much? For a laptop? Never mind the battery life of a laptop having a GTX 480M ... how is one supposed to cool one of these in a laptop. This is going to result in a very fat and loud laptop. Consider this: - RM 5870 = 50W - Mobile Core i7 = 45W - 65% of laptops are supplied with a 60W adapter - 30% with a 90W adapter - 4% with a 125W adapter - and i guess 1% has a 150W adapter Now take an i7 + 480M + rest of the system and you're way over 150W. That's just not normal for a laptop! You talk about 50W like it's nothing. Maybe not for a PC but most laptops use less than 50W in total. Even if you compare 100W vs 150W, that will result in a huge difference in the cooling system, especially in a laptop. But i agree, Optimus is a really nice piece of technology. I like it. But ATI has similar technology already available to manufactures. It's is up to the laptop manufacturers to implement the feature, just like Optimus. http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/switchable-graphics/Pages/switchable-graphics.aspx The thing is, a laptop is designed with the max. TDP in mind. So while Optimus will extend battery life while you're not gaming, it won't make the laptop less bulky. 3- While it's true that nVidia can charge the same amount of money for a 480M as ATI does for a 5870, it just won't. We're talking about 3x the size silicon. 480M will be more expensive period. For reference, Eurocom will charge €285 extra for the 480M over the 280M (or 5870, as it costs as much as the 280M). Do you think 10-15% extra performance is worth €285? Concerning the PCB, that has nothing to do with nVidia. Making a board with 128-bit tracing is cheaper than a board with 256-bit tracing. Less layers = less money. 4- Well ATI has something called 'Ultra Low Power State' for Crossfire systems. This works only on the 5000 generation cards. When idling, it takes the slave card to an even lower power state than normal idling. This feature is enabled from driver 10.2 onwards. This does alleviate the problem a bit. The second chip adds <10W while idling (if i counted correctly, that puts it at around 22W for both without ATI Switchable Graphics). But one can't argue about this: when you're in the market for one of these huge, ugly, useless and heavy gaming laptops, you're better of with a Radeon Mobility 5870 CF. You pay the same amout, the laptop is as heavy, it's as loud, it's as bulky, will eat batteries like there's no tomorrow but it will be 30-40% faster. I know one thing, i won't buy either.
If I'm away from the house, I'd bring a PSP or some movies. At least the PSP won't overheat and if I loose it, it's not $3500 down the drain.
