NBA AM: Where Does Rudy Gay End Up?
The Rudy Gay Conundrum: Before we get too far into this, keep in mind that when the Memphis Grizzlies traded Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington and Josh Selby to the Cleveland Cavaliers last week they solved their luxury tax problems. Going forward everything the Grizzlies are considering now are basketball moves, not business moves.
The Grizzlies brought in an entirely new front office in December with new CEO and managing partner Jason Levien leading the team along with John Hollinger, formerly from ESPN, and Stu Lash, a long-time player agent and former coach. Together with incumbent GM Chris Wallace there is now a four-man decision making tree with Levien sitting at the top as the chief decision maker.
The Grizzlies reached out to every team in the league in early January, mainly to introduce themselves and to gauge what was out there, hence all the Memphis chatter specifically related to Rudy Gay. The new front office wanted a fresh look at the landscape and that's why you have heard so much about Memphis in the rumor mill, because they have been talking.
The Grizzlies had to get under the luxury tax line; it was never an option to be a tax payer with how the team is constructed on the financial side. Considering deals involving Rudy Gay made the most sense because he makes a ton of money. After hearing what Gay could return, the Grizzlies turned to Cleveland and made a lesser deal.
That hasn't stopped teams from calling about Gay, but what has changed is that Memphis isn't nearly as ready to move Gay as some teams are in trying to acquire him.
If Memphis moves Gay, and it seems unlikely that they will, the deal will have to be one that moves them up in the standings in the West. The Grizzlies are not going to do the dump move on Gay mid-season. If the dump move is coming, it is coming in the offseason.
The Grizzlies have been linked to Boston's Paul Pierce, which the Grizz seem reluctant to entertain. There are some upsides to Pierce in Memphis. He is clearly a better shooter. He also brings playoff swagger, experience and his contract is friendly to Memphis' long-term plan.
The problem with Pierce is does he fit? Grizzlies' coach Lionel Hollins can be prickly to say the least. He pulls no punches and some players really struggle with his no-BS coaching style. Would Pierce be happy in Memphis? The last thing the Grizzlies need is to make a deal with Boston and Pierce not be on board or be disgruntled upon arriving.
Trading for Pierce is hardly a slam dunk move for the Grizzlies, there is some risk that Memphis would have to consider.
The Grizzlies have recently been linked to Toronto. ESPN's Marc Stein labels Toronto as the most "determined" to pry Gay out of Memphis.
Stein says a Raptors deal would be based around Jose Calderon and Ed Davis. However, they would want not only Gay but Darrell Arthur in the deal, which is a terrible return for Memphis as Arthur has been one of Memphis' bright spots from the bench.
League sources close to this process say there is no shortage of suitors for Gay; however, Memphis just does not seem like a team ready to move Gay, despite the chatter involving him.
The sense around the team is that there are other options under consideration that are possible before the Feb. 21 trade deadline and if the perfect scenario deal does not surface, the Grizzlies will ride out the season with Gay and the existing squad and see what the marketplace looks like around the draft and free agency, something being under the luxury tax line now affords them.
The Grizzlies did obtain three traded player exceptions in their deal with Cleveland, including a $4 million TPE for Speights. The Grizz could trigger a smaller deal before the deadline using one of those exceptions; however the monster deal involving Gay would have to return the kinds of pieces that move Memphis into the elite of the West. So far that kind of deal has not been offered and Memphis is in no hurry to trade themselves out of the playoff picture in the West or making a bad deal involving Gay.
Conley The Key For The Grizzlies: Memphis guard Mike Conley badly sprained his ankle on Sunday and missed yesterday's game versus the 76ers. While Conley is expected to be back in action against the Oklahoma City Thunder, there is no doubt that the Grizzlies will go only as far as Conley leads them.
Conley talked with HOOPSWORLD about his team's second half chances and how they are dealing with the recent trade and all the rumors surrounding the team.
Gordon Settling In With New Orleans: The New Orleans Hornets, soon to be the Pelicans, are starting to find some rhythm to their game. They are not winning as much as they'd like but they are finally able to put the squad they envisioned on the floor with a somewhat healthy Eric Gordon.
Gordon is still working his way back into shape after missing a huge of chunk of the season to knee rehab and says he's still sore after most games. Gordon is starting to get more comfortable on the floor and starting to see the promise of the team he is trying to lead.
"It's still early to tell how good we can be. We've shown at any time we can beat any team and that's the good part," Gordon told HOOPSWORLD. "We just have to see how good we can be and keep on playing more games and keep playing together. It's good to see from a future standpoint and we just have to keep playing like we've been playing."
The Gordon-effect is noticeable. Early in the season the Hornets looked like a young team, with ups and downs in energy level. With Gordon on the floor the team seems to have an added bounce and is playing with more confidence.
"That was one of my expectations from last year," Gordon said. "I expect a lot out of these guys. It's time to play everybody's role. I think everybody was scattered. When you lose a lot of games, it's hard to figure out how to win at times. Once you start winning, and we've been on a roll; first time I've been here that we've had a five game winning streak. That just helps out and everybody confidence-wise has just gotten bigger."
A lot has been made about Gordon's commitment to New Orleans, and despite his repeated endorsement of the team the rumors still persist, however Gordon says he is starting to see the bright future his squad has in front of him.
"I understood from last year, I just didn't play in that many games," explained Gordon. "I'm here to win and here to make guys better. It's definitely a great situation and the future can be really good here, hopefully we just really build up chemistry this year."
The Western Conference is filled with power teams that built through the draft and were patient with the necessary growth process to have sustained success. Gordon says the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies are examples of what the Hornets are trying to do.
"I can tell that's what they're trying to do here," explained Gordon. "They're starting out very, very young. We got a lot of guys that are under 23 and are trying to build a team. I can definitely see it."
The Hornets are looking at another NBA Draft in their future and what could be as much as $20 million in cap space to add this summer. They have an incredibly young core and several tradable assets and with Gordon, rookie Anthony Davis and several up and coming veterans the Hornets/Pelicans look to be headed in the right direction or at least that's what Gordon believes.
The weekly HOOPSWORLD Pick'em game is still wide open. There is currently just one player in line for the grand prize of an iPad or Apple Store Gift card with just three weekly wins. Three strong weeks and you could be in the running. The game is completely free to play and takes a couple of seconds to sign up for.

Win the most weeks and you could win an iPad or Apple Store gift card. Week 14 is ready for your picks. Log In and play here.
Trades Create Opportunity: When the Memphis Grizzlies traded away Wayne Ellington to Cleveland last week it created a shortage of guards for head coach Lionel Hollins. The Grizzlies responded by moving Jared Bayless to the two guard spot and giving rookie Tony Wroten a chance to play.
Hollins was noticeably reluctant to put the ball in his rookie's hands for an extended period of time, however, Wroten has brought a spark to Memphis' second unit in his four games in an expanded role averaging seven points, 2.25 assists and three rebounds.
"I'm getting real confidence because I've gotten my team to believe in me," Wroten told HOOPSWORLD. "It's hard when people don't believe in you but my teammates, coaches, everybody believes in me so I believe in myself. That's why I go out there with a big chip on my shoulder."
Wroten isn't much of a shooter; that was the knock on him during the draft process, but he does like to attack the basket, which has created opportunities for others and has raised the intensity level of the bench.
Wroten credits his teammates for making it work for him.
"We are great friends and nobody has beef with anybody," Wroten said with a smile. "We have great chemistry because everybody has fun with everybody and we are unselfish.
"I just try to be myself and do whatever I can to help this team win. That might be to score one point; guarding the best player; doing whatever it takes and like I said, I am going to give a 100 percent every time I step on the court."
The Grizzlies were looking for a spark for the second half of the season and while Wroten isn't going to torch you with his jump shot, he has shown a willingness to attack the rim and he could be good for a highlight reel dunk at any moment, and that's the spark the Grizz were looking for.

Comparing online colleges can be a difficult task. Many students know what type of program they wish to pursue, but often times there are numerous online institutions that offer similar programs. Some ways can help individuals compare and contrast online institutions based on the aspects of each school.
1. Evaluate Online College Accreditation
Accreditation is the primary aspect to assess when comparing online institutions. Students that graduate from an online college with regional accreditation will be able to find a job easier, transfer course credits to other institutions, and have a better chance of acceptance into advanced degree programs.
2. Compare Online College Residency Conditions
Some online institutions require students to spend many semesters attending courses on a physical campus and others require weekend seminar classes or summer meetings. Some programs enable students to earn their degrees completely online without ever having to attend a physical class. Students should consider online colleges that meet their needs and fit their specific way of life.
3. Assess Online Course Schedules
When comparing online institutions, students must consider course schedules. Some colleges allow students to complete courses at their own pace and others require students to adhere to specific deadlines or certain online meeting times.
4. Compare Online College Testing
Nearly all online institutions require students to complete course examinations, but every program has its own requirements. Some require students to complete examinations at proctored testing locations and others enable students to take tests online using books and notes.
5. Evaluate Online College Admissions Requirements
Admission requirements vary greatly for online institutions and some require an extensive application process such as essays and interviews. Others accept all applicants and enable students to begin completing courses shortly after acceptance.


text: The Champion Motorsport Monolite begins its life as a solid disc of high-grade aluminum alloy. 8000 tones of pressure is used to increase material density and tensile strength as it shapes the wheel. Forging makes the metal stronger, therefore the wheel can be made thinner and lighter. The Monolite line of ultra light wheels are 100% machined utilizing state-of-the-art computerized precision equipment, which assures even distribution of material across all surfaces. This process may be more involved, but it guarantees exceptional tolerances and outstanding quality. Cast wheels are only partially machined, leaving behind uneven raw material which may cause imbalances. The Champion Motorsport Monolite is a wheel with unmatched quality and trueness, perfectly tailored to your Porsche. Aside from their dramatic good looks, benefits include: REDUCED UNSPRUNG WEIGHT Unsprung weight is one of the most critical factors affecting a vehicle's road handling ability. It includes the components not supported by the suspension (i.e. wheels, tires, and brakes) and therefore is most susceptible to road shock and cornering forces. By reducing unsprung weight, forged alloy wheels provide more precise steering input and improved handling. ENHANCED ACCELERATION AND BRAKING Reducing the weight of the vehicle's rotational mass, forged alloy wheels provide more responsive acceleration and braking. BETTER HANDLING/ADDED RIGIDITY The added strenght of a quality forged alloy wheel can significantly reduce wheel/tire deflection in cornering. This particularly critical with a vehicle eqipped with high performance tires where lateral forces may approach 1.0g. UNMATCHED BALANCE AND TRUENESS 100% CNC machining ensures flawless geometry and a precise, aesthetic finish. A perfectly round wheels makes for a near perfect balancing of wheels and tires.

Belstaff Bests Prince Harry at Asprey Polo Cup
Famed London luxury goods house Asprey's polo team captained by Prince Harry (above, far right) was soundly thrashed by Belstaff's squad at the UK's prestigious Asprey World Class Polo Cup the other day. The Prince played well during the thrilling contest at the Hurtwood Park Polo & Country Club in Surrey, but accepted defeat gracefully, especially as his pet charity Sentebale received part of the proceeds from the match. Belstaff, famed for its leather jackets, also unveiled their brand new polo inspired collection at the event, allowing guests an exclusive first look at the chic and sporty clothes. Some VIPS including the Prince were gifted with items from the new line. Also in attendance at the event were Prince Albert of Monaco, his fiancée Charlene Wittstock, the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood and several stunning supermodels. Belstaff, founded in the UK in 1924 and known for outfitting stars like Tom Cruise, George Clooney and Will Smith for their action-packed blockbusters, also recently furnished longtime fans Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with complete wardrobes.

Authorities are still searching for clues to find out what caused a fatal house fire last night In Navarre.
Just after midnight Thursday, a passerby reported what they thought was a brush fire just off of State Road 87. When firefighters from the Holley-Navarre Fire Department responded, they found a home engulfed in flames in a rural wooded area, just behind the Harbor at Holley Church.
Tommy Barron, an investigator from the State Fire Marshal's office, said that two people were found inside, and that they may have been sleeping at the time the fire started. Their identities have not yet been released.
Two homes nearby were not damaged in the blaze, which was said to have been burning for around an hour by the time the fire department got the call.
Barron said the investigation may take weeks to complete.

Grant: $998,642 - Food and Nutrition Service - Mar. 11, 2009
No votes have been cast for this award yet
Award Description: The Emergency Food Assistance Program ARRA administrative funding - additional funding for foodbanks for storage and distribution and other administrative costs related to the TEFAP program. States may use these additional administrative funds for any allowahle TEFAP administrative cost. These costs could include: transportation, storing and handling of commodities; determination of eligibility, verification and documentation; publishing announcements of times and locations of distributions; and personnel costs, recordkeeping, auditing and other administrative procedures required for program participation.
Project Description: ARRA will provide Ohioans with an additional 2,913,184 pounds of commodities, as a result of an additional $3,984,580 in food and an additional $998,642 in administrative funding. These funds are made available to the food banks for the same purpose and manner as regular administrative funding. The Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) passes through federally funded commodities and funds for distribution of commodities to a state network of food banks. In FFY 2009, Ohio received both TEFAP administrative funding and an allocation of entitlement food dollars. Ohio received $1,990,044 in administrative funding, of which $150,000 was retained at the state level. The balance of $1,840,044 was available to pass through to the food banks. Federal regulations allow the use of TEFAP administrative funds to cover direct expenses associated with the distribution of USDA commodities and commodities secured from other sources. Direct expenses include the following, whether they are charged as direct or indirect costs: transportation, storing and handling of commodities; determination of eligibility, verification and documentation; publishing announcements of times and locations of distributions; and personnel costs, recordkeeping, auditing and other administrative procedures required for program participation. The ratio of TEFAP administrative funding to overall operational funding varies from food bank to food bank. During the first six months of CY 2009, the combined monthly average number of (duplicated) individuals served at Ohio's Food Pantries, Meal Site/Shelters, and Congregate/Residential Facilities was 1.17 million. This is a monthly average increase of about 80,000 when compared to the first six months of CY 2008. As of August 11, 2009, a total of $3,003,184 (75.4%) of the $3,984,580 allocated ARRA funds for food purchases was expended to purchase 2,203,744 (75.6%) of the 2,913,184 pounds of commodities that are projected to be purchased.
Jobs Summary: Ohio's TEFAP subrecipients have hired and/or retained truck drivers and warehouse personnel. By hiring and retaining these employees, Ohio's TEFAP sub-recipients have not only provided employment to 4.5 FTEs during these difficult economic times, but helped ensure that TEFAP food has been distributed in the most effective manner possible. (Total jobs reported: 5)
Project Status: More than 50% Completed

Posts Tagged 'cortisol'
Almost every trainer or nutritionist will tell you that Belly-Fat is the hardest fat to lose. It's usually the first to come on, and the last to leave. But what causes it?
The simple and scientific answer is prolonged stress. Today everyone is stressed. Stress experts estimate that today we experience 100 times the stress that our grandfathers experienced. And this stress, if not dealt with properly, will make you fat.
There's a lot of buzz these days about calories. Counting and cutting calories is one of the most common methods people use to try and lose weight. But does it really work? In my experience, and in America's experience, it ultimately ends in failure.
So why doesn't counting calories work? The calorie counting/cutting approach works in the short term because you deplete the body of resources (including good resources). People count their calories, keep them under some arbitrarily low number, and lose more weight than they should over the course of 2-6 weeks. Ultimately weight loss stalls, their eating goes back to normal because they run out of will power and momentum, and gain all the weight back, along with a few new pounds. In the long run this approach actually damages the body:
~You down-regulate your metabolism because your body thinks there's a famine and you need to conserve calories/resources.
~Usually the cutting of calories is too severe, and results in a loss of muscle tissue. This loss of muscle tissue also causes a decrease in metabolism, which makes it harder to lose fat and easier to store it.
~The thyroid slows down to conserve calories, which can cause major medical problems with the thyroid in the coming years. It also is part of the reason some people are cold, while other people are normal.
~It stresses the body. Whenever the body is stressed, it secretes cortisol. When cortisol is overused (which is in most people today) it ultimately results in more fat loss (specifically around the belly-button). It can also deplete the body of nutrients needed by the body to create other hormones like DHEA, testosterone, progesterone, and more.
~It depletes the body of essential nutrients. Nutrients like Zinc are depleted very rapidly when calories are restricted. This depletion of vitamins and minerals will ultimately throw off many of the body's regulation systems, including the ability to properly regulate hunger and satiety. It also kills mood (i.e. causes depression) and also kills sex drive and fertility (too low in healthy fats). This is also the mechanism by which anorexics get trapped in their anorexia (unable to perceive either their bodies or their hunger properly).
So what's the solution? I propose that instead of limiting WHAT you eat, we teach you HOW to eat! This looks like learning what a good breakfast is, what are healthy snacks, which foods to emphasize, and when to eat as well.
What I do with my clients is teach them HOW to eat, not tell them how much they shouldn't eat. Our country has tried the eat less mentality for decades, and we are deeper in the hole than ever. What I've found with my clients is that when I teach them HOW to eat, they:
~Feel satisfied with what they eat, not deprived
~Their appetite will actually self-regulate the way it's supposed to
~Get much more nutrients
~Actually lose weight, sometimes by eating MORE!
~Have more energy throughout the day
~Ultimately look and feel better overall
America doesn't have an eating more problem, it has an eating wrong problem.

Probably try to get rid of it on craigslist. And I wouldn't wanna sell it to you man.. it's garbage. It's made specifically for 07+ Sierra's and it doesn't even freaking fit. I had to rig mouting brackets myself just so the top wouldn't bow. You'd be better off just buying a higher quality insert or authentic replacement grille. Trust me man.

It is possible to make the sierra 2500hd grill work on a 1500. There are a few different options to make it work depending on what look you want and how much you want to spend. I just completed the 2012 denali hd front clip on my 2007 vortec max.
- - - Updated - - -
Pics are before, after just the grille installed with stock bumper, then full conversion. The 1500 vs 2500hd frame is 1.5" difference. I used a zone 1.5" bodylift to make up the difference. 2012 gmc sierra hd denali grille, 2012 hd upper bumper cap, 2012 denali hd bumper assembly. I still need to make some adjustments to get the gap from the upper cap to the bumper bar perfect. The hood is still the stock 1500 hood. Everything is direct bolt in with only minor adjustments if you use the stock bumper vs the hd denali bumper. you can also do the conversion without the bodylift and by modifying the bracing to the stock upper bumper cap and cutting the tabs on the bottom of the hd grille. This will work with the regular hd grille or the denali hd grille.
Hope this helps, I just came across this post and have detailed posts on other forums about this topic. But I wanted to share this with you because It can be done and there are 1-2 dozen trucks doing this that I know of.
01-05-2013, 10:05 PM #15@user-0021
Thank you very much for the information! This conversion looks absolutely amazing on your truck! After coming across some of the threads you are likely discussing, I have decided not to go with the Denali HD conversion.. just seems too expensive for me at the moment as it's going to cost at least over a grand. I however greatly appreciate your input and I hope your post helps somebody down the road who is looking at doing this same thing. Once again, sweet truck!

01-07-2013, 07:05 PM #17A leveling kit is usually only applied to the front suspension and is pretty much spring spacers (or some sort of torsion bar adjustment/hardware) and maybe shock bracket extensions. It's like a small suspension lift. It does not change the relationship between the grill and bumpers. Take note though, that I have only had a leveling kit described to me. I have never researched them not being interested. I much prefer the old school California Rake look, and don't want my truck level.
A body lift changes the distance between the body and frame.
Only the body gets raised further from the ground. Everything attached to the frame, like engine, transmission, bumpers, and tires remain at factory height. You don't get any extra ground clearance from a body lift, but you do get a little more vertical room for bigger tires, and heavier duty transmission, and engine.
A suspension lift changes the relationship between the frame and suspension. Virtually everything except the tires and suspension is raised further off the ground, but it does not change the distance between the body and bumpers.
In the installation discussed above, the Denali front bumper is attached to the frame, which is still at factory height, while the body has been lifted 2" above them, thus the need for a taller bumper cap.
I think the rear bumper on a Denali is also attached to the frame but there may not be a bumper cap to worry about back there. I've never looked at a Denali in that much detail. Another item I am not interested in. They're too pretty. too tarted up for me. On my '99 Suburban, there is simply a vinyl flap between the bumper and the barn doors. On most pickup trucks there ain't nuthin there at all.Last edited by Dana W; 01-07-2013 at 07:56 PM.
01-25-2013, 06:58 AM #18I understand now. Thanks!
03-04-2013, 03:23 PM #20I may do this sooner than expected. Just to clarify, the only actual parts I will need is a 1.5" body lift (on its way now), 2500hd grill and bumper cap.

Cottage Motel in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Hearthside Village is a small cottage motel located in the quiet "off the beaten path" town of Bethlehem, New Hampshire. In 2013, we are open from May 10th through October 14th. As you can see from the photos, the sixteen uniquely picturesque cottages and their landscaped grounds are definitely part of our appeal. Comprising a miniature community, our cottages are wonderfully quaint from the outside and comfortably cozy within. Most of our guests have stayed with us before or were recommended by one of our guests, attesting to the exceptional cleanliness and comfort of our cottages. A common comment is "best night's sleep of my vacation!" We are proud to have been recognized by Frommer's Travel Guides as a "great value" and we strive to live up to that designation.
Our cottages vary in amenities. All have their own individual heat and hot water and bathrooms with showers only. Air-conditioning units are installed in all cottages. Cable color television is also found in all of our cottages. Many have kitchenettes but all have at least a refrigerator. Our Kitchenette cottages all have stovetops but do not have ovens. Most of the cottages have fireplaces in which we allow duraflame-type logs only (no wood fires). These logs are available in our office at a nominal charge. Bedding varies from twins, 3/4's, doubles and "country kings". Most of our cottages are ideally suited for two people, however a few of our units can accommodate more. There is parking included for one car per cottage.
To the dismay of some but for the comfort of many...
"NO SMOKING" is allowed inside any of our cottages.
Sorry, NO PETS are allowed on the premises.Cottage pictures and layouts- Click here!
On-site amenities include:
Swimming Pool, outdoor, 16'X32', no lifeguard on duty.
Hospitality Room with telephone and area maps and brochures.
Game Room with Ping-Pong, arcade games and soda machine.
Play area for kids with swings, slide, etc.There is a picnic table beside each cottage and outdoor barbecuing is allowed. If you decide not to eat in, however, we are fortunate to have several excellent and reasonably priced restaurants nearby. Of course, there is also a selection of fast food. We are always happy to share menus and offer suggestions.
Hearthside Village is not only a haven for tourists but has become popular for family get-togethers and honeymoons. Most dates still available except : June 23rd thru July 6th and July 17th thru August 24th. As a general rule we do not accept one-night reservations in advance however one-night stays are always welcome "off the street" when available..
Our standard rates range between $69.95 and $89.95 per cottage.
One of the "best kept secrets" is our Off-Season Rates! We call it "off-season" because there are fewer tourists in the area. For many people, that is one of the best reasons to be here at that time of year. In 2013 the off-season runs from Friday, May 10th through Thursday, June 20th and from Monday, September 2nd through Thursday, September 19th. During the off-season you can save $10 per night/per cottage off our standard rates!
Conveniently located on Route 302 just one mile East of Interstate 93, Exit 40, Hearthside Village is within a short drive of all White Mountain Attractions. The Franconia Notch State Park with Cannon Mountain, Echo Lake, the Flume and the Basin is only 15 minutes away. The Cog Railway at the base of Mount Washington is 25 minutes away. We are located less than one mile from The Rocks Estate and the historic Colonial Theatre is just over one mile. No matter which activity you choose, staying at Hearthside Village is like having a home to come back to at the end of the day.
If you have any other questions, please call, write, or e-mail us for more information.
We look forward to your stay with us!
Your Hosts,
The Huggins Family ~ Steve, Rhonda & Jon

Google Whacks 4,000 Motorola Mobility Jobs
5:24 PM EST Mon. Aug. 13, 2012Google has confirmed plans to cut about 4,000 jobs from its Motorola Mobility subsidiary, representing about 20 percent of the unit's 20,000-employee headcount.
Google, which closed its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility in May, disclosed the cuts in a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Google indicated that two-thirds of the reduction would occur outside of the U.S. and also said that the Motorola unit will close or consolidate some 90 facilities, "as well as simplify its mobile product portfolio -- shifting the emphasis from feature phones to more innovative and profitable devices."
"These changes are designed to return Motorola's mobile devices unit to profitability, after it lost money in fourteen of the last sixteen quarters," wrote Google in the filing. "That said, investors should expect to see significant revenue variability for Motorola for several quarters. While lower expenses are likely to lag the immediate negative impact to revenue, Google sees these actions as a key step for Motorola to achieve sustainable profitability."
[Related: Google Closes Motorola Mobility Deal]
Google said it will take a severance-related charge of up to $275 million, largely recognized in the third quarter.
Google first announced the acquisition in August 2011, about eight months after Motorola split into two companies: Motorola Mobility, which housed Motorola's set-top boxes, cable equipment and home business as well as its handsets and mobile devices, and Motorola Solutions -- where much of the former Motorola's channel business resides -- for networking and enterprise mobility products.
At the time, the deal was portrayed as a way for Google to fortify its patent portfolio and protect its Android operating system from competitors. Google hasn't said much about how it plans to continue with Motorola Mobility's hardware businesses, though the filing language around "feature phones" suggests Motorola's lower-end handsets will be phased out.
Following the acquisition's close three months ago, speculation over layoffs began immediately. Google has made several executive changes to the unit already, and at the time of the acquisition it named Dennis Woodside, former president of Google, Americas, to succeed Sanjay Jha as the unit's CEO.
The sluggish economy has meant a number of recent layoffs in high-profile tech companies. Nokia, for example, said in February it would axe 4,000 jobs across three of its manufacturing sites, and Cisco in July confirmed another round of about 1,300 positions following last year's sizable restructuring.
HP is another vendor making broad cuts, having confirmed plans in late May to lay-off 27,000 employees, or 8 percent of its workforce.

Evening Musings
1. autumn dreams pg1, 2. October, 3. to change, life, love, create, 4. Points of Two - Week 30, 5. Week 42: Falling Leaves, 6. Dia de los Muertos: right side, 7. Nothing Held Back Journal, 8. fall journal page 2, 9. 52
The weather has been beautiful lately, tempting me endlessly to enjoy the lingering warmth of summer. Sadly, though, I will not be able to go freely into nature until the end of this week - midterms have snuck up already and I have been spending my time studying all sorts of wonderful things and preparing for tests.
I recently came across two new words which I found completely enchanting: meraki and duende. The first is Greek and the second is Spanish; both describe things for which there is no translation in English. Meraki is used to describe "doing something with soul, creativity, or love -- when you 'put something of yourself' into what you're doing, whatever it may be". Duende "captures an entire world of passion, energy, and artistic excellence" and implies a whirlwind of zest in creation. Oh, what lovely ideas! Big thanks to Micaela for sharing.
I have a few posts in mind - including a recent art journal page - and do hope to share them soon! In the meantime, play in your art journal and explore autumn colors, moods, and ideas; let your pen flow across crisp white paper to describe all the beauties of this month; listen to this wonderful piece of music; explore Michelle's art challenges; go for a long walk with a camera in hand; and create warm things for the coming winter. Cuddle in bed and drink steaming tea when you can - my favorite flavor at the moment is black currant!
Recently I've been inspired by dancing golden leaves, blue skies, cello concertos, tights, the thud of acorns falling, Jacqueline du Pré, books, bright scarves, red lipstick, and dripping rain. How about you?
Sending love to all the corners of the world!

i found your paints and brushes and everything else to be quite wonderful. i feel like a kid again playing with them. looking at my art journal has never made me feel better than now :)
thank you, to everyone who contributed to the art supplies given to me two months ago.
and thank you so much ingrid. your kindness, not just towards me but towards everyone, is always greatly and eternally appreciated.
TomoAbsolutely love the new words, Ingrid. I could so eat those up.
I was hoping to get a good dose of autumn leaves this weekend, but it seems the trees on the east coast haven't started to change quite yet. I did get to attend a gorgeous outdoor wedding -- I think you would have loved it too.

Motivated as it's been these last few days, the Westlake High boys basketball team was in a hurry to vie for a Marmonte League championship.
Then the Warriors played that way Thursday night.
Riding its up-tempo offense like an Indy 500 racer, the flash-and-dash Warriors used their team speed and 3-point shooting prowess to earn their first Marmonte League championship since 1996 with a decisive 78-53 victory over visiting Calabasas.
Larry Bush tallied 24 points, including 16 in the first half, Josh Brooks notched 18 points and Grant Lozoya finished with 16 points as Westlake turned an 11-point lead at halftime into a 23-point advantage midway through the third period.
The Warriors said they couldn't wait to take their turn on the league championship stage.
"I was so excited today. I couldn't think of anything else in school," said Lozoya, a 6-foot-2 senior. "I couldn't wait for this game to get here.
"It's an amazing feeling to get this done. It's been my goal since I've been here to be on a league championship team."
Bush echoed the sentiment.
"It seemed like a long wait for this game to get here," said the 6-1 junior. "This program hasn't won a league championship since 1996, and we definitely wanted to get it done tonight."
When the Warriors were completing drives to the baskets, they were nailing treys. They had nine for the game, including two apiece by Bush and Jason Blumhardt.
"We wanted to play fast," Lozoya said. "We really wanted to push the pace so we wouldn't play at (the Coyotes) tempo. We didn't want this to be a defensive game, because that was to their advantage."
Said Bush: "We're at our best when we play fast. That what works for us, and it's what we need to do in the playoffs."
With the victory, Westlake improved to 22-4 overall and 12-2 in league, and emerged as Marmonte League champion in a stellar group that includes defending CIF-Southern Section champion Calabasas, Royal and Thousand Oaks.
Calabasas got 19 points from Max Hoetzel and 12 points from Jeremy Lieberman, but settled for second-place in league at 11-3 (21-5 overall).
The game was played at Westlake's pace from the outset, and that seemed to suit the Coyotes for much of the first period. Lieberman's free throw with 3:29 left in the first quarter gave Calabasas a 12-10 lead.
Then came the Westlake tidal rush.
An 11-0 run, which including two baskets by Bush, earned the Warriors a 21-12 lead with 1:02 left in the opening quarter.
The lead grew to 11 at the end of the first half, before Westlake really took command.
Back-to-back baskets by Brooks at the top of the third quarter ignited a 15-4 run that left the Warriors in control. The advantage grew to 64-41 at the close of the third period.
Calabasas won the first meeting between the two teams, 68-60. Westlake thus opted to make the rematch a foot race.
"I knew we would win this game," said Lozoya, who had seven points in the third period. "They played their game last time, and it doesn't work for us. Once we got out and pushed the ball, we were all confidence."
Next up for both teams will be the CIF-SS playoffs. Westlake likely earns the top seed in Division 2A when pairings are announced Sunday.
Bush knows what the Warriors must do to be successful.
"Play the same way we did tonight," he said. "Nobody knows much about us, and we can sneak up on a lot of teams."

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13, 2011 — Girls and women are a fallow and underdeveloped resource in the Asia Pacific region. An enormous amount of work needs to be done to bring the numbers of women in leadership positions in business, government, and civil society to a level that matches the true gender ratio. The work of numerous governmental, intra-governmental, and non-governmental organizations has been commendable. Yet, the situation remains that even in the highest represented member economy, women occupy only 15.7% of corporate board seats, top government positions are woefully underrepresented, and girls' literacy rates and education opportunities lag behind those of their male counterparts. From the most basic levels pertaining to girls' education and security, to the level of small business entrepreneurship, and to the level of top governmental and corporate leadership positions, women remain undervalued and their skills or potential underutilized and underdeveloped. Consequently, the Asia Pacific region is not optimizing one of its fundamental human resources for economic growth: potential women leaders.
The Asia Society Next Generation Women's Leadership Advisory Committee proposes 10 urgent action items that can boost APEC's efforts to develop a larger and stronger presence of women leaders in the Asia Pacific in order close the gender gap and maximize the contribution of women to the economic development of the region. Our recommendations are posed at two levels: to address the key challenges confronting women in the workplace, and to expand women's opportunities for development before they enter the workplace. The recommendations seek to foster women's leadership development for economic growth and offer clear gains for all involved.
To download the white paper, please follow the link above.
In order to fully develop and ensure a next generation of female leaders, the Asia Society Next Generation Women's Leadership Advisory Committee strongly recommends that APEC and its member economies should take the following actions:
From the Classroom:
To the Boardroom:
Lead Author:
Mei Pin Phua, Writer; Asia 21 Fellow
Advisory Committee:
Jumaatun Azmi, Founder and Managing Director, KasehDia; Asia 21 Fellow
Mitsuru Claire Chino, Corporate Counsel, Itochu Corporation; Asia 21 Fellow
Alexandra Harney, Author, Blakemore Freeman Fellow, Tsinghua University; Asia 21 Fellow
Research Associates:
Michelle Lee, Intern, Asia Society
Sara Segal-Williams, Intern, Asia Society
The completion of this white paper would not have been possible without the contribution of Asia Society's Asia 21 Fellow Mei Pin Phua. Within a very tight schedule, Mei Pin worked tirelessly across international time zones, to draft this concise yet comprehensive white paper and synthesize excellent suggestions and input from the members of the Advisory Committee, also comprised of Asia 21 Fellows. The Asia Society also owes a special thanks to Michelle Lee and Sara Segal-Williams, two amazing research associates who complemented Mei Pin's gusto and painstakingly carried out research and multiple revisions of the paper. We could not have asked for a better team to work on the paper.

According to its publicist, sugar is a health food. After all, it contains zero fat, provides instant energy, and makes almost any food taste better. But these attributes are all trumped by a physiological fact: Sugar is not a weight loss food. That may seem like a given, but by understanding why it makes you fat, you can minimize sugar's harmful effects and create a leaner, healthier body.
Eating sugar is like flipping a switch that tells your body to store fat. And sugar is everywhere—not just in soda, candy, and desserts. It's disguised in refined carbohydrates like bread, rice, and pasta, and even in beer and milk. Your body can't tell the difference—it quickly digests and absorbs all these sugars into your bloodstream as glucose.
This means most men eat the equivalent of a high-sugar diet—even if they've sworn off sweets. Case in point: During digestion, one slice of white bread is converted into the same amount of glucose as 4 tablespoons of sugar.
Here's what happens: Every time you eat sugar, your blood-glucose level rises quickly. In turn, this stimulates the release of insulin, a powerful hormone that signals your body to store fat. There's also a dose response: The more sugar you down at any one time—resulting in a greater rise in blood glucose and, consequently, in insulin—the longer you stay in fat-storage mode.
Of course, you may not be ready to give up sandwiches, fried rice, and spaghetti. But use the cutting-edge strategies that follow and you can slow the rate at which sugar is absorbed into your bloodstream. The payoff: You'll diminish the impact any food has on your glucose levels—and on your body's ability to burn fat. Consider it nutritional damage control. And the benefits extend beyond the physiology of fat metabolism. Research shows that keeping blood-glucose levels in check decreases appetite and reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Fortunately, that's not just industry marketing hype; it's a scientific reality.

The info re "one slice of white bread= 4 tablespoons of sugar" is sending me to the grocery shortly for all-wheat bread. I'm putting the bread I have now out for the birds. I hope I don't screw-up their blood sugar.

All carbs become sugar to the body in the end is correct but brown rice vs white rice will not make any difference. Glycemic index is not significant factor. Biochemically when it comes to weight loss/gain, it's all about quantity not the kind of carb.You will still get fat on a low glycemic carb ...just 15 minutes later! Finally some one has straightened out this misunderstanding to the public. It is explained in The 24 Hour Diet.

Sirs, if one wishes to rebalance his or her metabolism one must revert to a plant based diet, give up dairy, anything that comes from animals, anything processed, restaurants, etc., reading lablels is not the best way to shop as you, the common man or woman, would need an advanced degree in Chemistry, to understand the chemical names for sugars, preservatives, and non food additives. Don't be a pawn of the food making organizations, buy fruits, vegs, nuts, seeds, brown rice, legumes, soy beans and it's healthy products. Make the world a better place. God Bless one and all.

Thanks again MH for all the nutritional tips that you provide to the general public. This info does not apply to everyone, all individuals must use all the basic dietary information provided by the experts and then develope their own plan. There is no magic pill or plan, so you all must create your own, unique to your genectics and lifesyle.

With all due respect Nancy, you are a fool. There are no differences in weightloss between genders. What works for one works for the other.
By cutting down carbs (regardless of being a man or a woman) and eating less than your BMR, your weight will go down, period. There is no magic involved.Griffin

I started myself on a Vegan diet just a little over a month ago. I am shocked beyond belief on what this diet has done for me. I feel so damn alive. I lost 36 lbs. Mind you that is a combination of working out and the diet. Very dramatic change on the waist line. Belt went down a couple of notches and my pants constantly wants to slide off. I have never felt more healthy in my life.
Now I have been experimenting the past week on sugar intake and weight gain. I only did it for 2 days. On both days I ate a small bag of skittles just before and during my workout. I weighed myself during the same time and noticed I gained 3.1 lbs. I will attribute this to water weight because my muscles felt fuller.
Now 2 days later after the skittles incident I weighed myself and lost 4.4lbs. Seems like I am still on track for losing weight. 30 more pounds and I am at goal and I am excited. I think I am going to stay Vegan to tell you the truth as I have never felt better and it seems to have corrected a few ailments I have been developing.
I was a former super heavyweight bodybuilder and my old diet was horrible but did help put slabs of muscle on me. However I got used to eating like that and now that I am 40 years old my metabolism just was not the same and I gained weight very quickly until I hit 266 lbs.
Now sugar does release insulin for sure but how and what you are doing during the time you ingest it makes a diference on where it goes. Sugar during a workout will make the muscles fuller because the insulin draws the sugar and the 2 molecules of water into the muscles. Stopping the sugar instake releases the water pressure in the muscles and the weight drops quickly. A great tip if your about to do a heavy day. Bring a bag of skittles! :)Sadasius

I used to snack on sugary foods and drinks all the time until my health wouldn't allow me anymore. I was so close to being morbidly obese that I would need surgery to lose weight. So a couple of my friends recommended me a product known as Shredz Maximum strength Fat Burner. Not only did I lose 128 pounds in 8 months, I have felt better ever since and love my new appearance. This is a life saver and you can get this product at www.getshredz.com

This article is misleading. Sugar is not equal to bread/pasta/rice. Table sugar consists of 50% glucose and 50% FRUCTOSE, whereas bread/pasta/rice consist of just glucose. Whereas excessive sugar consumption leads to weight gain/more appetite, billions of people eat most of their daily calories from rice, which is glucose, and there is no link between glucose consumption and obesity. Glucose is of course a problem in diabetics but not in healthy people with no metabolic disorders. Exercise improves glucose metabolism and seems to even prevent insulin resistance. Carbs are not bad. Ask bodybuilders and athletic professionals who "carb load" before peak physical performance. Our bodies can store glucose as glycogen, which can be easily be used during demanding physical performance.

I will never forget the great work of Dr.samoda in my life. I was terribly
ill and the doctors confirm that I can't be healed completely for this I
was frustrated and my increases as time pass on. When I meant Dr. samoda
online I discuss my situation with him, and he said nothing is impossible.
He ask me to send my photograph which I did and he bought some materials
which he used for me and I was able to regain my normal health after a
week. When I went to my doctor for check up he was surprise and said
unbelievable that my health is normal and my body weight equally normal. My
greatest thanks to Dr. samoda if you which to contact him, his Email

Cat Misconceptions DispelledCats are the most popular pet in the United States; they are intelligent, affectionate and mysterious creatures. Despite this popularity - and perhaps because of their air of mystery - there are many misconceptions about cats that cause both social and physical problems for these animals.
Here are six common-but-false assumptions about felines - and the truth behind them.
1. Cats are solitary animals and like to be home alone.
False. Separation can be stressful for cats. Specifically, separation anxiety may manifest in behaviors such as urination and defecation outside of the litterbox, vocalization, vomiting, excessive grooming, lack of appetite, anxiety at departure or an exuberant greeting when you return. To keep your cat happy, it essential to limit their time alone and provide them with stimulation and interaction in the form of play, petting, food toys and perches. If you have an extremely stressed cat, it's essential to make an appointment with your veterinarian to further address the problem.
See Also: 4 Home Cat Dangers to Avoid
False. Failing to use the litterbox may be linked to a medical issue or may be caused by stress or anxiety, so start with a visit to your veterinarian. Once you identify the cause, there are various methods for retraining your cat to go inside the box, including the use of feline pheromones, changing the type of litter and box used, increasing the number of litterboxes and strategizing the placement of boxes around your home.
3. Cats scratch because they are mean.False. Cats may claw human skin for various reasons. Sometimes cats claw to express irritation - for example, if they are not being held or petted in the proper way. Some cats scratch in play; if this happens, freeze in place and redirect your cat to a toy. An underlying medical issue, such as arthritis, may also be the culprit, causing your cat to feel uncomfortable and making him more likely to lash out. If this is a recurring issue, a visit to your veterinarian is a must.
See Also: Why Does My Cat... Stare at Me?
False. The belief that a cat will suck the air out of a baby's lungs is an urban legend; there has never been one medically proven incident of this happening. In truth, cats and babies can grow deep bonds and get along well if their interactions are always supervised by adults and behavior concerns are addressed early on.
5. Cats never need special playtime - they entertain themselves.False. Cats thrive when they are given daily activities. Sharing playtime with your cat for a few minutes several times a day will cut down on nuisance behavior such as your cat waking you up early in the morning. Many cats even enjoy going out on walks and can be taught to walk on a leash.
6. Cats never get along with other cats.False. Cats often enjoy the company of other cats. If you're adopting a kitten, you'll fare best adopting multiples from the same litter, which increases their chances of bonding and enjoying each other's company. Depending on the cat, it may also be possible to bring another adult feline into your home.

Dr. and Lisa Oz's oldest daughter, Daphne, is the author of a new cookbook. 'Relish, an Adventure in Food, Style and Everyday Fun' is already on the New York Times Best Seller List.
Oz prepared her family's marinara recipe during GDNY, Staten Island Special (Marinara) Sauce.
RECIPE (makes about 5 1/2 cups sauce):
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sweat it for 2 minutes, stirring so it doesn't brown. Add the garlic, oregano, and chile flakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is slightly golden and the onion is softened. Add both cans of tomatoes and use a potato masher to crush the whole tomatoes and stir to combine (you could also use your hands to crush the tomatoes in a separate bowl ahead of time). Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add the wine, cover, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 90 minutes, partially covered, stirring occasionally.
2. Add butter and sugar and stir to combine. Add the basil. Continue simmering, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it well. Add the pasta and cook it 1 minute less than the package instructs. You can either place the pasta in a serving dish and spoon the sauce on top, or heat portions of sauce in a skillet and remove the pasta from the cooking water directly into the pan with the sauce and toss to combine, adding pasta water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Serve with grated cheese.
4. You can make this sauce ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the freezer or in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Not All Heartfelts Are Heart-Shaped!
The beauty of this project is that people have the freedom to make their hearts in any shape, style or size they choose. And for some people at least, this has unleashed a creative talent some of us could only dream of!
"My best friend had a heart of gold, but it was a very weak heart.
The home of her spirit had become an internal physical prison.
After a long battle, her physical heart finally broke, and although
At that moment I felt the pain of my own heart break,
I also felt relief knowing her spirit was free at last.
As I left the hospital car park, I knew she was leaving too.
Looking over the rooftop, across a bright blue sky, my heart ached farewell."
