MILAN, Ill. -- University of Iowa men's golfer Raymond Knoll has qualified for the PGA TOUR's John Deere Classic after tying for first place at the John Deere Classic Open Qualifier at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Illinois. Knoll fired a seven-under-par 65 on Monday to tie Armando Villarreal of Dallas, Texas, to earn one of four qualifying spots.
Knoll earned PING All-Region honors as a freshman in 2014. The Naperville, Illinois, native registered his best finish of the season at the Boilermaker Invitational, where he tied for sixth (215, +4). In his final round of play at the event, Knoll carded a 66 (-6), which equaled the fourth-lowest round in program history, as Iowa rallied to earn the team title. Knoll tied for 12th at the Big Ten Championships (300, +12), placed 15th at the Hawkeye-GRE Invitational (220, +4), and tied for 26th at the NCAA Columbia Regional (216, E).
"I cannot even put into words how exciting this is and how unbelievable it feels to have this opportunity," Knoll said. "I always tell my dad that I just want that one opportunity to play on the big stage and see what I can do. I am thrilled for this opportunity."
Knoll will join former Hawkeyes Steven Ihm (2012-14) and Aaron Krueger (2001-03) in the John Deere Classic field. Ihm, who competed in the event last year, will make his professional PGA TOUR debut.
Knoll also won the Pine Hills Invitational in early June of this year.
University of Iowa day is Thursday at the John Deere Classic. Fans attending the event are encouraged to wear black and gold.
The 2014 John Deere Classic, held at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, marks the 44th annual PGA TOUR event in the Quad Cities and the 16th year for John Deere as the title sponsor. This year's tournament, which features a purse of $4,700,000 and a winning share of $846,000, runs from July 8-13.

This result might be consistent with C.J.Date proposal to treat

select distinct a, b,
(select count(*) from sometable as it where it.a = ot.a) from sometable as ot
For syntactically correct "group by" (when the select column list is a subset of "group by" list) rewritten the results are identical. Your case can be considered as a "generalized group by". This kind of output is routinely produced by "Window" aggregate functions. Are window analytical extensions legitimate from theoretical point of view?

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I have asthma and my job was aware of it due to the fact the I had a workers comp claim back on 8/27/08. Managers were painting a wall 10ft in front of my desk which triggered my asthma. The company paid for my doctors bills and the time that I was out of work.
On 12/27/8 a painting crew was painting the receptionis wall and refinishing the receptionist desk using adhesive and once again I left work and visited the hospital emergency ward. I was out of work until 1/17/09. This time the company denied my workers comp claim.
Now my asthma has became chronic and I have chronic sinusitis.
I have a specialist that treats asthma and sinusitis who stated that the fumes from the paint has caused severe damage to my lungs.
Now I must give myself allergy shots for 18 months and use a nebulizer
I work for telemarketing company that is open 24 hours a day.
I notified OSHA concerning the work environment on 7/15/9 and my job recieved several fines.
I believe that is why I am having problems getting the documents from my personnel file.
Thank you so much

"Parks and Recreation"'s season 5 appears to be shaping up as a tale of two cities: Pawnee and Washington D.C. With the season 4 finale, Ben Wyatt (played by Adam Scott) was poised to take a job in Washington D.C., leaving newly-elected city council member and girlfriend Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) behind.
As Scott points out, the strain of long distance will be felt by more than just his character's relationship, as April (Aubrey Plaza) will be in Washington with him. The actor told Zap2it, "I live in DC now with April, Aubrey's character. We're working on a congressional campaign there... So it's kind of the strains of long distance relationships both with me and Aubrey's characters with our people back in Pawnee. For my character, it's a big deal because I'm in the major leagues as far as politics goes. And Leslie coming to visit and feeling a little bit like a country mouse puts a little bit of strain on the relationship."
Regarding how permanent the new D.C. digs are, Scott seems blissfully unaware. "I don't even know. It might be all season," he says. "We've only shot two, three episodes. But I don't know how long I'll be there. But it's cool. They have this great, beautiful new set with these fancy offices in D.C."
Can the relationship of Ben and Leslie (LesBen?) flourish long distance?

Los Angeles, CA March 27, 2012 – Payam Entertainment presents Thirteen/Eight: Mohsen Namjoo and Ensemble Live in Berkeley, Saturday April 28, 2012 at 7:30 pm at the Wheeler Hall, UC Berkeley and in Los Angeles, Sunday May 20, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the Orpheum Theatre 842 S. Broadway
Thirteen/eight is a compilation of six pieces by Mohsen Namjoo, which were developed in the United States during the past year. The performance has been prepared in collaboration with California-based musicians James Riotto (Contrabass), Robert Shelton (Keyboard), Ezra Lipp (Drums) and Greg Ellis (Percussion). Payam Entertainment produced a series of live performances for 2012. The inaugural performance in Berkeley, California will be recorded in preparation for a future double-album release by the same title.
"Among Iranian musicians, irregular rhythms are referred to as 'limping rhythms'. Mainly characterized by structural imbalance, the 13/8 time signature is among the most difficult of the limping rhythms in the music of the region", says Mohsen Namjoo. "In the limping form, there is always a beat missing, or a beat extra. The limping style does not possess the symmetric structure of the dance music which elicits so much pleasure in dancers at wedding parties or in certain kinds of nightclubs". He adds "for me, this lack of balance or limping always symbolizes the constant instability of modern day life; a lack of confidence in there, being solid ground beneath our feet when we step out in our daily lives. The limping structure symbolizes falling out of step with the rhythm of everyday living, and the ever present fear of being thrown out of the party of life—just for dancing with a limp!".
Thirteen/Eight is based on a research project including three pieces in which Mohsen Namjoo has fused the Iranian musical scales of "Shour", "Chargah" and "Rast-Panj-gah" with Jazz. Two other tracks titled "Khat Bekesh" and "13/8" have been inspired by music from Frank Sinatra and Igor Stravinsky respectively. These are based on the "Segah" scale and the "Isfahan" vocal renditions. Both of these musical renditions are based on poetry by Mohsen Namjoo with themes pertaining to the futility of people's (Iranians') hope in the concept of the 'saviour' who shall one day appear and restore a free homeland for them. Through his innovative use of literature and sonic effects, Namjoo challenges those ethereal hopes which are in his view as tragic as comic. The second component of Thirteen/Eight is comprised of a solo performance with Setar and vocal renditions inspired by Iranian Ethnic songs.
Thirteen/Eight is a unique performance that contrasts the Western musical traditions with those of the East, particularly Iran. In his performance of Thirteen/Eight, Namjoo dwells deep within each of these traditions in search of enlightenment on the validity of the promise of Hope.
Payam Entertainment is proud to present Thirteen/Eight in Berkeley and Los Angeles. A musical tour-de-force by a singular voice from Iran. Tickets for Thirteen/Eight BERKELEY are available at tickets.Berkeley.edu and in LOS ANGELES at www.ticketmaster.com

Big Brother Canada 2 Flashback Moments Part 2
Given how popular Big Brother Canada 2 was, its not surprising we had to breakup the memorable moments of the season into two posts.
Part of this seasons twist involved having 3 additional potential house guests quarantined in a secret room called the "War Room" where they spied on the other house guests and vied for viewers votes to enter the house. Allison White won the votes to enter the house and later in the season she discovered the clues that revealed a secret door to the war room.

Big Brother Canada 2: Jon Pardy & Neda Kalantar are Officially Dating!
Despite how Big Brother Canada 2 winner Jon Pardy and Neda Kalantar denied their chemistry for each other to the cameras during Big Brother Canada 2, it was obvious to the viewers that there was more there between them. They often justified and described their relationship as a "brother / sister" relationship. Jon stated that he "loved Neda like a sister".
Big Brother Canada 2 – POST Finale Interviews, Photos, and MORE..-Post has been updated-
Last night on the finale of Big Brother Canada 2 the winner Jon Pardy was crowned by a vote of 6-1 and took home the grand prize of $100,000, $25,000 gift certificate to the brick and a $10,000 vacation sponsored by Twistos.

PHOENIX, Arizona, September 11. JUST one day after the announcement that he would be joining TSE Consulting in their sports performance division, Bob Bowman's first assignment as consultant is to participate in British Swimming's review of athlete performance at the 2012 Olympic Games.
British Swimming announced Bowman's appointment to the review panel today, joining open water athlete Thomas Lurz, rugby expert Conor O'Shea, British Swimming Management Board member Craig Hunter and British national team director Michael Scott.
While Lurz's job will be to review the open water performance and O'Shea will tackle coaching, sport science and sport medicine, British Swimming did not divulge Bowman's specific task on the panel, only to say that "he is expected to share his expertise and best practice advice with the panel."
The panel has been created to examine the reasons behind Great Britain's subpar medal count in London, and come up with solutions to use for Rio 2016. The team grabbed three medals in London (one silver, two bronze), while publicly expecting at least six in the lead-in to the Games.
Bowman has been a part of three USA Olympic coaching staffs (2004, 2008, 2012) and helped guide his most famous athlete, Michael Phelps, to become the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time. As an assistant coach in London, Bowman guided the American men's team to its best medal count since the 1984 Games, which was helped by the absence of the Russians and East Germans.

Dr. Ben Carson Fires Back at Racially Charged Criticism and Reveals His 2016 Presidential Favorite
In his CPAC speech, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson spoke about the racially charged backlash he received after criticizing President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast. Carson said he was called derogatory names for criticizing the president. He asked the crowd, "When did we reach a point where you have to have a certain philosophy because of the color of your skin?"
Carson will be retiring in about three months, leaving many to wonder
if he's planning a possible 2016 run for president. Tonight on Hannity, Carson said despite the negativity, he's had many of his Democratic colleagues at Johns Hopkins Hospital tell him they'd vote for him.
"I'm not saying anything about me running, but it is wonderful to know that there are some people who actually think for themselves and judge a person on the content of their character," Carson said, firing back at critics.
While Carson said it's too early to tell if he'll run, he told Hannity he favors Senator Rand Paul for his courage.

The Anglican bishop of Botswana, Trevor Musonda Mwamba, told Ecumenical News International that the media's focus on the gay-lesbian debate instead of poverty, malnutrition, drought and HIV/AIDS demeans the integrity of people outside the Northern Hemisphere.
"The rest of the world needs to know that apart from press coverage in the West, the gay issue is not a pre-occupation of the poor," Mwanda said. "And we don't want it imposed on us as a priority agenda. Our agenda is about basic survival, food for the hungry—and we cannot focus on other agendas. In the words of a Swahili proverb, 'An empty stomach has no ears to hear with.'"

does anyone no of a good gripping pair of pedals, preferably $40 or less?
I have the Snafu concave pedals. I got them for around 30$(unsealed). They have 4 pins per side. They're not good if you do pedal grinds though. You should also look at the mosh step pedals for 25$. There sealed pedals w/12 pins per side.
primo tenderizers if not grinding, but gusset if you are cuz they have a grind plate on them
To hell we ride...

Last year, acclaimed internet feminist Anita Sarkeesian garnered praise and vitriol with a Kickstarter campaign for "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games," a video series that would seek document female stereotypes and typecasting in gaming. After a wildly successful campaign that raised over $150,000 of support, Sarkeesian embarked on 10 months of filming that, earlier today, culminated in the series' YouTube debut.
11 videos are planned, and should result in a roughly 4-hour examination of gender stereotypes in gaming. Peep the first (roughly 20-minute) episode, dubbed Damsel in Distress, below. Then, drop a comment below and join the conversation about gender stereotypes in gaming--for the love of Kaz, keep it civil.

When I got the car they had the oil terribly over full. I changed the oil and filter and it quit... for a minute. I have a minor oil leak so the next time I added oil it began the ticking again, but it is on and off. My gauges read good. I was wondering if the oil pump going out could be the issue... if not... any advice?

Career as an Event Planner
I am hoping I can find someone on this wonderful network who can offer some insight into the wedding/event planning business.
In my previous life(before being a stay at home mom for 4 years), I was a retail inventory planner and buyer. So, I do have an organized mind as well as an eye for beautiful things and I LOVE planning...
When I get started on a project, I am obsessed with it, but enjoy it so much. Planned my own wedding in 2000(the whole thing by myself, no family involved and hubby left it up to me), and those were some of the happiest months of my whole life... carrying my binder around, scouring the internet, visiting site, vendors, etc. Did the same thing for a European vacation the following year, and now that my son is about to turn four. I am planning his birthday party with a pirate theme and finding myself obsessing over even the smallest details.
I think this is my calling because it is something I truly love. My dilemma is that I thrive on the planning, organizing, etc, but am NOT good with the actual day of the event coordination. I have never been a ''johnny on the spot'' problem solver. I need time to think things through and respond to them, and I've never wanted a job where I am solely responsible for a ''life and death'' situation(ie doctor, pilot, lawyer)..not that a wedding snafu is life or death, but it is potentially one of the biggest days of two peoples' lives, and I don't want that resting on my shoulders.
So, is there such a job that only does the up front planning and not the ''day of'' stuff? If so, any ideas how to break into the field...certification at a community college help or just go and work for someone and get on the job experience, etc. Do I try to start my own business or work for someone else?
To make things a little difficult, we have recently left the Bay area and so I'd have to start over as I don't have any contacts here in the business.
Any advice comments would be so helpful. Thanks. PS.I still love reading BPN newsletters and miss the wonderful camraderie of the community there. I'll plan your party but don't invite me!
There's too much detail to delegate it all to someone who's just at the event. You say you don't want the responsibility of a couple's big day resting on your shoulders, but even the pre- planning is that sort of responsibility. You're directing them on how to spend their money, so if they're not happy with choices made, then it comes back to you. You also have to be part psychologist as you deal with all sorts of people.
No matter how well you plan, there are always last minute issues. One of the questions I asked when hiring event coordinators for a company I worked for was "tell me about an unexpected problem during an event & how you handled it." All the planners I know, me included, love the on your feet problem solving. Go to craigslist.org & search for event jobs, and you'll usually see that as part of a job requirement.
As for getting your feet wet, it's hands-on experience that counts. There are special event planner associations that have workshops & are good for networking: ISES (International Special Events Society) or MPI (Meeting Planners Int'l). Or get a job as a House Mgr at a venue that does special events, or work in the events department of a hotel, venue or company. A lot of big companies, like Charles Schwab, have their own in- house event planning departments that plan special events, national and international meetings, etc. You can meet event planners that sometimes need on call help with event planning, and that will get you a lot of valuable experience. anon

WXXI News continues its series on the Rochester City Schools, and looks at crime in the district.
Senior Correspondent Peter Iglinski speaks with Rochester City School District's Public Safety & Security Director Jim Sheppard and others about some of the most prevalent risky behaviors the district deals with on a daily basis including guns, drugs, and stealing as WXXI News continues its series of reports on Rochester schools. Iglinski's report airs Tuesday, December 22 between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., and again on Wednesday, December 23 between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. on AM 1370,
All of WXXI's coverage on this topic, including report transcripts and audio, and additional resources can be found by clicking here.
On the morning of December 21st Rochester City School Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard announced his strategic plan for the district. The plan seeks to realize the district's vision: "Every child is a work of art. Create a masterpiece." But first the community must overcome some obstacles. An increasing number of kindergarteners are entering school with developmental problems. The district has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the state, and it's growing. More and more students are becoming involved in crime. WXXI's Center for Public Affairs presents a series of reports on public health challenges facing the Rochester City School District, and how these challenges impact the district's efforts to make each child a masterpiece.

The man suspected of killing another man and leaving his body in a shopping cart in a South Seattle neighborhood last week didn't exactly try to cover his tracks, police said.
Investigators who examined the shopping cart found paperwork from Sound Mental Health that bore the name of the 46-year-old suspect, according to an affidavit of probable cause that outlines the police case. In addition, fingerprints lifted from the cart were matched to the suspect, the affidavit said.
Police said the suspect was arrested at his wife's house Friday evening. He acknowledged he knew the victim and had seen him recently, but he asked for a lawyer when questioned further, according to the affidavit.
The man was booked into King County Jail on a felony warrant for a probation violation in connection with another case and for investigation of homicide. He is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, with his next court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

The Seattle Times is not naming the man because he has not been charged.
Witnesses said the suspect was seen struggling to push a shopping cart with a body in it on South Austin Street in Seattle's Othello neighborhood on Thursday morning, police said.
Officers were called after a woman reported seeing the man trying to place the body in recycle and trash bins in her backyard, according to a friend of the witness. The man left when the woman called out to ask him what he was doing, the friend said.
When police arrived they found the body, which they said looked like a "pile of clothes with feet sticking out," according to the affidavit.
The victim was identified Tuesday as Daryl M. Ford.
Police released the homeless man's name and photograph in the hope that someone could provide more information about him, where he camped and the places he frequented.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office determined that Ford died of multiple stab wounds.
The documents found in the cart connected the suspect with an 18-unit housing complex operated by Sound Mental Health a few blocks from where the body was found.
Police said staff at the residential complex on South Kenyon Street said the suspect had not been seen for several days, the affidavit said.
Trish Blanchard, chief clinical officer for Sound Mental Health, said she could not answer questions about the suspect or confirm whether he lived at the apartment complex, but she said the staff at Kenyon House provides mental-health and behavioral support to residents and it is not uncommon for staff to have daily contact with tenants.
According to police, the suspect also left his fingerprints on the cart and matched the physical description provided by the witness.
Court documents indicate the suspect has a criminal history that includes convictions for drug offenses, theft, assault and disorderly conduct.
Earlier this year, the suspect was convicted of taking a motor vehicle without permission and was sentenced to serve eight months on electronic home detention, King County Superior Court documents say.
He was fitted with an ankle monitoring device at a King County detention facility on May 19. Court records say he was supposed to return home and set up the monitoring hardware, but he failed to do so.
His caseworker reported him missing the next day and on May 21, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest, according to court documents.
Anyone with information about Ford is asked to call the homicide tip line at 206-233-5000.

E3 2008: The Activision Conference
Written Wednesday, July 16, 2008 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Activision, although they were not technically taking part in E3 this year, just couldn't resist staying away and missing all that juicy press coverage. So instead, they set up shop down the road from the LA Convention Centre and invited prestigious members of the press after E3's day had finished, to take a look what they had in store for the year. To kick off proceedings, Nelson Diaz came to the stage to introduce them. I have no idea who this dude is but apparently he's a comedian who has 45k gamerscore (that's what he tells us). Yes, thanks for that.
CEO of Activision, Mike Griffith came to stage with a shameless product promotion for Guitar Hero on the DS before getting on with business. Griffiths gave a short introduction in the showcase stating visions for the future and how they performed last year, I mean, did you know that 18 million songs have been downloaded through Guitar Hero, well we didn't.
It didn't take long before Griffiths was running through the new and resurrected IP's giving us a brief insight to the not so distant future. The first short trailer focused on a game called "Singularity" which is being developed by Raven Software and it is a first person action game that takes the "premise of controlling time, to a new dimension" as it "pits shooter and sci-fi fans against a devastating fracture in time". The trailer was fairly short but showed a fair bit of action with a voiceover stating that "I told them it was unsafe and highly unstable... They wouldn't listen"
Next up was a sequel to fan's favourite, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, titled Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion. It is said to include 24 superheroes including Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk and plenty of supervillians from Venom to the Green Goblin. The new fusion aspect of the game allows gamers to share powers of their superheroes/villains to create new and customised super hero combos. Following the small intro, Griffiths played the trailer and it gave a short, but not very helpful insight to the game apart from sharing a few of the worldwide locations we would visit; London, New York, Chicago, Japan.
Activision then announced the next X-Men game, namely X-Men Origins: Wolverine, another title by Raven software. The game is based on the upcoming Hugh Jackman, Wolverine film who features in the game. Apart from announcing it, that was all they did before jumping on to their next title, the new Transformers game, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and it is the sequel to the original Activision title. After the short intros to the new upcoming games mentioned previously, Activision invited on head of Treyarch, Mark Lamia to introduce one of their leading IP's, Call of Duty.
Everyone who knows me will know of my hate for Treyarch, simply for taking the great Spider-Man 2 game and creating the hash that was Spider-Man 3 from it, but everyone deserves a good crack of the whip and I'm not one to hold a grudge. World at War, will of course be using the Call of Duty 4 engine and will introduce a few new weapons in to the series such as flamethrowers and flame tanks as it heads back to World War II but this time, to the Pacific. One of Lamia's early announcements was that World at War multiplayer would now feature tanks in all new vehicle based gameplay. Without further ado, he drops another bombshell that World at War would feature 4 player online co-op and 2 player co-op split screen and then BAM! He announce that Kiefer Sutherland (you know Jack Bauer) will feature as one of the main voices in the game as they begin to show the live demo.
The first part of the co-op demo showed a patrol slowly moving down a river and for the first time we hear Bauer, I mean Kiefer. At this point the patrol are ambushed and they have to fight off attackers under a canopy of dark with Bauer, I mean Kiefer (damn, I'll have to stop doing that) screaming orders nearby. Quickly it jumps in to the second part of the demo where both players are equipped with flamethrowers as they disintegrate the long grass and anyone hiding in it. The second co-op demo was actually fairly long with plenty of action thrown in with tanks, explosions and rockets coming from all angles. The co-op on World at War actually looks very impressive and is a mode that has personally raised my anticipation for the game. However, if I try this game and Treyarch ruins another great series for me, I'll cry like a big girl!
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was next on the scene as they kicked off the showcase with a short trailer showing a battered Manhattan, a scene that seemed more at home in something like Cloverfield. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows will feature an original storyline and you will be thrust in to New York city to defeat the alien symbiotes that have taken over. The combat system has been totally revamped for the game and it does certainly look easier as the demo shows Spider-Man kicking ass on the side of a building. Spider-Man will have two suits, the red which allows Spider-Man to be more agile and such, and the other, black which signifies brute power. The title is said to feature decision making throughout which will affect who fights by your side and how the story progresses.
The next game's lead needs no introduction but we'll give him one... His name is Bond, James Bond. Quantum of Solace will be the first Bond game ever that will be released alongside the movie and what better than to kick off the game demo than a look at the upcoming film which is released in November and looks to be a real treat. Activision were given unprecedented access to the film's locations, script, writers and even Mr Craig himself. As previously mentioned before, the Call of Duty 4 engine will be used throughout which the developer mentions gives them a good head start with the title. The demo starts with a third person view of Craig as he ducks from cover to cover trying to be stealthy and wait for his moment. As he gets close to his opponent who is unaware of his presence, Bond takes him down with a third person combo. As the move finishes, he returns to first person mode. The action scenes actually look fairly impressive with a smooth transition from first person to third person mode with Craig's likenesses' being very accurate. The explosions and level interactivity also seems to be a huge plus. Could this truly be a Bond title worthy of the license? You be the judge.
The long awaited Wolfenstein sequel was next on the agenda. Wolfenstein will be developed by id and Raven software and the title sees BJ make a return to his famous role. The premise of the game is essentially, a crazy Nazi cult are trying to open a portal in to another dimension and BJ has to stop them, but not alone. The multiplayer will be team based objective driven and will allow gamers to take the "ultra realistic" and "supernatural" weapons that BJ finds within the Shroud in to the multiplayer arena. Although there wasn't much to show, more will become available at QuakeCon on July 31st to August 2nd.
The conference ended with the latest title in the Activision money driven franchise, Guitar Hero World Tour. The usual facts were fed to us that were featured in the Microsoft press conference on Monday. Namely, there are 85 master songs, The Eagles, Van Halen and The Doors will feature in the title, Metallica's Death Magnetic album, blah blah. Older Guitar Hero instruments are said to be compatible with the new title but the new guitar may actually be worth a look because it has a few new funky features like the touch sensitive slider bar. The drums will contain a layer of silicon on the top so that they will have realistic bounce back and the harder you hit it, the louder the sound. The drum kit was unveiled to have a midi jack which allows you to plug your professional drum kit in and use that. Very smooth!
While the Activision press conference was a long one, there were a few IP's but no real shocks. We knew the sequel to Marvel Ultimate Aliiance was coming. We knew a Transformer and Wolverine film plug in would come because that's the Activision way. Hell, we even knew Wolfenstein was coming but it's great to see a classic IP get given the 21st century treatment. Technically, the only really new IP to us was Singularity and that certainly intrigued us. Quantum of Solace and World at War both actually looked like good uses of the Call of Duty 4 engine and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows looks better than the previous two Spider-Man titles put together. Yes we saw more Guitar Hero World Tour but we're frankly getting sick of seeing it now. All in all it wasn't a bad showcase. A bit of originality was shown but they mainly came to strengthen their superior franchises that little bit more.

EconoMeterists list signs of improvement
Q: How will we know if the economic recovery in San Diego County is for real?
Marney Cox, San Diego Association of Governments
Answer: Job growth
When local job growth out performs the nation. The local economic recovery has been slow compared against a disappointing national trend which is unusual for our region. Over the past two years (2011 and 2012) the U.S. has added about 1.8 million jobs each year. Our region represents about 1 percent of the nation, suggesting that our region should have added 18,000 jobs each year. During 2011 our region added 10,900 payroll jobs, less than our proportional share. However, the final 2012 job numbers show our region added 25,400 jobs, far more than our proportional share. A good sign that our region may have turned a corner and the recovery is for real and robust.
How will we know if the economic recovery in San Diego County is for real?
Jobs 63% (15)
House prices 8% (2)
Other (list in comments to story) 8% (2)
24 total votes.
Kelly Cunningham, National University Systems
Answer: GDP
The measure of San Diego's overall economy is gross domestic product (GDP). While the economy has grown since the depths of the 2008-09 recession, as of 2012, GDP had still not quite reached the previous 2007 peak, adjusted for inflation. Both employment and per capita income also remain far below pre-recession highs. The recovery has not been equitably distributed throughout the region, as some sectors continue to languish while others fully recovered and thrive. Economic recovery is readily apparent for certain advanced wealth-generating sectors, and left behind lagging, generally middle-wage industries. Therefore, the recovery is not apparent for many.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
ANSWER: Job growth
We will know the recovery is real when job growth is strong enough to significantly drive down the unemployment rate. There has been some improvement, with the unemployment rate dropping more than two full percentage points from the low point of the downturn; a drop into at least the 6 percent range would be better. Employment is important because it drives other parts of the economy, including the housing market. When employment increases, there is more income and therefore more spending in the economy. This in turn means more sales and profits for businesses, which should lead them to hire even more people, thus starting the cycle again.
James Hamilton, University of California San Diego
ANSWER: House prices and housing starts
House prices and housing starts in San Diego are both up almost 10 percent from a year ago. The housing bust was a main reason that California and San Diego suffered more than the rest of the country during the Great Recession, and it really looks like that's all behind us now. Another key indicator is the San Diego unemployment rate, which is now down to 8.1 percent. That's still high, but much better than the 10.1 percent we saw two years ago. We still have quite a ways to go, but the recovery has definitely begun.
Gary London, The London Group Realty Advisors
ANSWER: Real estate values and transactions
When real estate values and transactional volume consistently increase. Consumers who are selling and buying are bidding up values. This happens when there are base job increases and rising household incomes, each of which supports consumption and drives the economy. All of this is best represented in the real estate sector. This sector is (1) an expression of consumer confidence — as a lagging indicator, it confirms we are really there; (2) a sign that incomes and employment are on solid footing; and (3) that new construction will follow, a great jobs multiplier that will further heat up the economy. It is still a little early to fully confirm, but I am declaring that the recovery is now real.

A gourmet day in Adrogue: Cooking with Teresita in Buenos Aires
Posted on 28. Dec, 2012 by Jess in Argentina, For foodie travelers
If, as Nobel Prize winning novelist Rudyard Kipling once said, "the first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it," then we say the second is to taste it.
Anyone who spends any time with us here knows food is an integral part of our travels, and that we love to sample as many different local dishes as possible everywhere we go. Increasingly, being able to cook these dishes has become a focus for us. We can't bring back the smell of a quiet Sunday morning, but we can cook up international foods and replicate delicious memories from our travels forever.
That is why, although Argentine cuisine can be meat heavy, we searched for a cooking course in Buenos Aires and discovered the charming website for Cooking With Teresita. There we found three options – an Empanadas class, a wine tasting, or a full day culinary tour. The full-day combines empanada making and wine-tasting with a full four-course meal after a tour of locals markets in the suburb of Adrogue, a town about 45 minutes outside of central Buenos Aires by bus. In honor of Dani's birthday we splurged on the full culinary tour.
As only happens in Latin America, we arrived 15 minutes late to Teresita's home, and were the first ones there. While we waited for another couple to arrive, we talked South American travel with Teresita and her charming husband Raul. We toured their rustic, sprawling home (including a large kitchen with enough wine glasses and copper pots and pans to feed an army) and they pointed out paintings and knick-knacks on the walls from various places they had traveled in Patagonia, Greece and the United States. Conversation was easy and pleasant and we felt right at home.
That ease continued when the other couple arrived and the six of us headed out into the town of Adrogue, where Teresita and Raul have lived their whole lives. Quaint, bustling and full of life, most people are employed in the capital, so there are trains and buses running very frequently to and from Buenos Aires. Yet when I asked Raul how many tourists visit here, he and Teresita both laughed and said we were probably the only four tourists in town that day.
This made the experience feel very special and more authentic as we learned about unfamiliar vegetables at a small outdoor produce market and witnessed way too many different cuts of meat at the butchers (the omnivores with us had a field day learning about Argentine beef, while Dani and I gawked at a very large tongue in the display case). Teresita brought us to a deli and then on to a bakery, and as we strolled through town the four of us asked Raul and Teresita anything and everything, from related foodie questions to politics, history and lots of little language questions. I really appreciated Teresita's excellent level of English, as she was able to explain and translate very intricate details of food and culture.
One thing she told us was that the dough of the empanadas in Argentina are made almost exclusively with lard, something us vegetarians might have preferred staying blissfully ignorant to, especially after making it a mission to sample as many roquefort (blue cheese) and Caprese (tomato, cheese and basil) versions as possible around town the few weeks prior. Luckily for us, Teresita had pre-made dough just for us back at her house, so that we could eat as many as would fit between the four courses we were about to stuff ourselves with.
When we returned to the house, bottles of sparkling wine were popped and there was a quick half hour demonstration on making empanadas. Because the course took place in their home, one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience is watching the loving dynamic between Teresita and Raul, who is the ying to her yang. He is quiet with a charming, shy smile, while Teresita is boisterous, vocal and excited to share her passion and knowledge of Argentine food and wine. With his apron on and his attentiveness to refilling our champagne glasses, Raul was a supportive partner, doing many of the smaller, important tasks that kept the afternoon flowing, while we learned from Teresita how to knead the dough or braid the empanada's edge.
We prepared the dough and learned how to fill, fold and form the empanadas. The fillings had already been prepped the night before, unfortunately, so we didn't learn how to make that or how to fry / bake the empanadas. This was a shame, especially because Teresita is very knowledgeable and I feel like we would have a learned exactly how to make a good Argentine empanada from her. Whereas with other cooking courses we have literally had back aches and sore feet from standing and doing so much work in the kitchen, with Teresita, the actual cooking course part was a quick demo, and then we became guests at what essentially became a fine dining restaurant.
We joined the other couple outside at the table on the back patio, finishing our bubbly, getting to know each other, nibbling on our gruyere, fresh bread and our first Argentine white wine. The next dish was a Spanish tortilla and salad, paired with a second, different white wine, then came our empanadas, followed by the main dish which was a special vegetarian menu for us and Argentine steak for the boys. This was paired with a delicious red wine, which was refilled at least once for us all. At this point things begin to get a little fuzzy, but there was definitely some delicious homemade strawberry ice cream and a dessert wine to finish off the long lunch.
Although the afternoon was supposed to end at 3:30, the four of us were chatty and ended up overstaying a bit, but Teresita and Raul were gracious hosts until the end, when we decided it would be a good idea to extend the good time to a local Adrogue bar and order two more bottles of Malbec. Yikes!
We would have appreciated water on the table with the meal, or could have easily cut out a bottle of wine or two from the experience, if only to reduce the pricey $130 per person rate. However, in all fairness, guests of Cooking With Teresita definitely get value for their money, between a personalized (if basic) culinary walking tour, cooking demo, a four course meal that could have been served in a chic Palermo Soho restaurant and at least seven (I lost count) glasses of wine and champagne. We were able to ask everything we'd been wanting to clear up about Buenos Aires, too, which was an added benefit for us after spending over three weeks in the city at that point.
While I'm not sure how great my empanadas will be the first time I attempt them on my own, I feel like we were able to take away a really insightful look into authentic Argentine life and love of food and wine.
Cooking With Teresita includes three different experiences:
- One day empanada cooking class (3.5 hours; includes empanadas and wine pairing; US$55)
- One day culinary tour (5 hours; market tour, empanada making, 4-course meal, 4 – 5 wines; US$130)
- Argentine wine tastings (5 dishes with 5 – 8 wines; US$110)

Great review, specially because I am from Argentina 😛
Sad thing that you are vegetarians, we are pretty good with meats, from milanesas to asados; and all the kinds of empanadas (the meat ones), in every province of the country they are different. And we have great dishes of river fish in the mesopotamia region, as we have the patagonian lamb "a la cruz" in our south.
The people in the inner provinces are generally more humble and kind than the "porteños" (residents of BA). Argentines are know in latinomerica for being arrogant because of them.
Please keep on doing this reviews, they are amazing. Sorry for my poor english, and I hope you could come again to Argentina. Besides our politicians, we are not bad people.

Discouraged, but trying to start again
Tuesday, March 01, 2011
Ok, time to come clean. I have gained back half of what I took over 2 years to lose in the last 6 months. Yes, this is partly due to a medication change that made my thyroid medicine less effective and also affected my appetite (so I'm always hungry). I'd love to blame all 15 lbs on those facts, but I can't. I have to try to take some responsibility. I have not exercised as much as I should have, I have stopped tracking calories, and I know I've been eating too much. On the bright side, many of my positive habits have stuck. I still drink mostly water, and no soda, and I eat more whole fruit and less chips. I would never sit down and eat half a bag of regular potato chips and dip (anymore). So yes, some things are still with me. I'm so frustrated at myself for giving up and giving in to the negative thoughts I first had when the medicine change started to slow then halt my progress. If I would have kept up with my routines, it's very possible I would not have gained so much back. Would I have gained something? Probably, but it wouldn't be 15 lbs, and I wouldn't be looking at at least a years worth of work just thrown away. I'm really trying to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back to Sparkin'. It feels a lot like starting from the beginning. All the familiar feelings are there, the shame of failure, the guilt over how poorly I've treated my body, and the fear that even if I start again that I will fail yet again. I'm so tired of failing. I'm tired of trying so hard only to easily gain back what I had to work so hard to lose. I'm tired of my crappy self-esteem.
I don't want to wait until my surgery date to get back on track. Part of me says "What's the point, as long as you are on the meds, you'll never lose a thing", but I think really that's not the point. I need to get back to the "So what if I lose weight?" mentality. Yes I felt better when I lost weight, but right now what I need is to work on my health and my fitness. If I lose weight, great, but I really don't want that to rule how I feel about myself. I started out that way last time and didn't worry about the scale, only how I felt and if I was meeting my goals. I really want to do that again, but I know it's going to take a lot of work on my mind, not just my body, to get me there. So today I need to make a goal and I will do that again tomorrow and the next day. One little goal to start and I can go from there. I want to get back to tracking my food intake, but right now I just feel that I can't do that without feeling deprived and frustrated. So today my goal is, no mindless snacking, drink at least 3 bottles of water and eat nothing fried. I think that's doable. I will deal with tomorrow when it comes.

Glad you are willing to begin again. I am also glad you don't intend to wait until after surgery. Eating well will clearly help you through the surgery and the healing. Tale care, and yes tomorrow will take care of itself!!!

Ok let's first focus on the things you did right...you are still drinking mostly water and you aren't drinking soda and you are eating fruits and veggies instead of chips. Those are huge accomplishments.
All you have to do is start right now making more right choices....one day at a time...one step at a time. maybe start logging all your food to start. You are in the best place with all the necessary tools to make life changes.

Hi - just stopping by to give support and encouragement. I too gained 20 lbs. back after I quit smoking in Aug. 2010 - I have been tracking my food and exercise for the last 3 wks on SP - but the scale has not moved....I refuse to let that deter me and my determination. The lifestyle changes I am making will prevail - and never, never quit and never, never put off what you can do today until tomorrow. Lets go hand-in-hand on our journey to a Healthier and Happier Lifestyle.
God Bless.

I try to focus on the fact that I just generally feel good when I am working out and eating right. The scale has stopped moving for me right now but I hope that won't last, but the lifestyle change is really probably more important.

One step at a time is all it takes. Don't give up on yourself! You know you can achieve anything you set your mind to...trust in yourself. It's good that you are setting achievable, reachable, doable goals. And you've stuck with some really good habits, which is impressive.
Best of luck to you!

Hang in there. Sometimes life throws us for a wild ride, and we just have to face those challenges head-on. You'll come out of this a better person. Just take tiny positive steps as much as you can, and you'll be able to lose it again. In the meantime, is it possible to take a different med? Good luck!!

IF Aaron Copland were simply one of the ablest composers America has produced, which he is, that would be sufficient to fix his place securely in the cultural accomplishments of our time. But he has done much more than write notable music.

Written by Wake Forest Sports Information Dept.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest will spend its Thanksgiving holiday in the Bahamas, as the Demon Deacons are set to take part in the 2013 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, which is held annually at the Atlantis Royal Towers Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.
The eight-team tournament will be held Nov. 28-30 and includes Iowa, Kansas, Tennessee, USC, UTEP, Villanova and Xavier, in addition to the Deacons. The official bracket and television assignments will be released later this summer.
Wake Forest will host The Citadel on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the LJVM Coliseum as a play-in game to start the tournament.
This will mark Wake Forest's first-ever appearance in the Battle 4 Atlantis. ACC rival Duke won last year's tournament, while fellow ACC foe Florida State took fourth place in the tournament in 2011.
The Deacons will be playing in the Caribbean for the second-straight season after participating in the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands this past November. Wake Forest will be returning to Nassau, Bahamas, for the first time since playing two preseason games there prior to the 2006-07 season.
The Battle 4 Atlantis games are played in the Imperial Arena, a grand ballroom which is turned into a basketball venue. The half-million dollar temporary stadium boasts state-of-the-art regulation facilities at the epicenter of the world's largest open-air marine habitat complete with lavish guest accommodations, restaurants, bars, spa, lounges, waterslides and the largest casino in the Bahamas. The event drew more than 4,000 fans to the 2012 championship game.
A variety of travel packages are available for Demon Deacon fans to support their team in the Bahamas. Visit WakeForestSportsTravel.com for more information.
Wake Forest vs. the Atlantis Field
Iowa - Wake Forest is 4-0 all-time against Iowa, having defeated the Hawkeyes twice in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Deacons earned a 76-73 defeat of the Hawkeyes in their most recent meeting on Nov. 30, 2010 at the Joel Coliseum.
Kansas - The series between Wake Forest and Kansas is tied at two wins apiece. Most recently, the teams split a home-and-home series during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, with each squad winning on their home court. The Deacons and Jayhawks have also split NCAA Tournament matchups, with Wake Forest winning in 1984 and Kansas winning in the 1994 Elite Eight.
Tennessee - The Vols lead the series with the Deacons 6-2, but the teams have not met on the hardwood since the 1969-70 season when Tennessee picked up a 60-59 win. The series started in 1947-48, and Wake Forest earned wins in 1949-50 and 1959-60.
USC - Wake Forest won its only meeting with USC, picking up a 93-85 defeat of the Trojans in the 1954-55 Dixie Classic in Raleigh.
UTEP - The series between Wake Forest and UTEP is tied at one win apiece. The Miners beat the Deacons in the 1984-85 Sun Bowl Tournament. Most recently, Wake Forest defeated UTEP in the second round of the 76 Classic in Anaheim during the 2008-09 season.
Villanova - The Wildcats lead the series with the Deacons 7-2. Villanova has won three straight in the series, including a 70-57 win in the most recent meeting in the Rainbow Classic during the 1999-2000 season. The teams first met in a home-and-home series in 1930-31 with Villanova taking both matchups. Wake Forest earned wins in 1959-60 and in the 1962 NCAA Tournament in College Park, Md.
Xavier - The series between rivals Wake Forest and Xavier is tied at two wins apiece after the Deacons earned a 66-59 defeat of the Musketeers at the Joel Coliseum this past January. The teams will meet later in the 2013-14 season in Cincinnati for the fourth annual Skip Prosser Classic.

HELSINKI, Finland, July 14. YANNICK Agnel was the star of the opening night of swimming competition at the European junior swimming championships with a world-class time in the 400 freestyle. The meet is taking place over long course meters.
Agnel, quickly becoming one of France's medal hopes for the 2012 Olympics and beyond, defended his title in the 400 free with a 3:46.26. The time is a new meet record and the third-fastest time of the year. Only China's Zhang Lin (3:44.91) and Korea's Tae Hwan Park (3:45.03) have been faster in 2010. Agnel's time makes him the fastest European in the event, two seconds ahead of countryman Sebastien Rouault.
Well behind Agnel in the 400 free final was Sergiy Frolov of the Ukraine, who finished second with a 3:55.70. Rounding out the podium was Alfie Howes of Great Britain with a 3:56.11.
Great Britain's Sophie Smith and Spain's Beatriz Gomez Cortes battled through the final 200 meters of the 400 IM, with Smith taking the gold medal in 4:44.46. Cortes was second in 4:44.87. In third was Alessia Polieri of Italy with a 4:46.71.
Andriy Govorov broke his own meet record of 23.63 in the semifinals of the men's 50 fly with a 23.57, then won the gold medal in the final with a 23.58. He finished well ahead of Ukraine's Dmitry Pokotylo, who won silver in 24.50. Mehdy Metella, the brother of 2004 Olympic 50 freestyle bronze medalist Malia Metella, took the bronze medal in 24.62.
After a posting a 32.28 to lead qualifiers after the semifinals of the women's 50 breaststroke, Lisa Fissneider won the final with a 32.20. The silver and bronze medals went to Germany's Lisa Rathsack with a 32.37 and Great Britain's Sarah Lougher with a 32.48.
Claudia Romeu of Spain won the women's 1500 freestyle with a 16:27.97. Tjasa Oder of Slovenia led the race through 700 meters but could not hold on for the win, finishing second in 16:37.98.
In semifinal action, Christian von Lehm of Germany led qualifiers in the men's 200 breast with a 2:13.85. Anton Blednykh of Russia was close behind with a 2:13.98, followed by Italy's Flavio Bizzarri with a 2:14.55.
The women's 200 fly saw Spain's Judit Sorribes and Rachael Kelly distance themselves from the pack with times of 2:13.75 and 2:13.96, respectively. The third-fastest qualifier for the final was Tina Rueger of Germany with a 2:16.01.
The top time in the women's 100 freestyle semifinals was posted by Germany's Silke Lippok with a 56.21. Alizee Merdy was the second qualifier with a 56.86 and Mathilde Cini of France was third with a 56.76.
Yakov-Yan Toumarkin of Israel chased Laszlo Cseh's meet record of 55.06 in the men's 100 back semifinals, posting the fastest time with a 55.59. His teammate, David Gamburg, will be the second qualifier in the final with a 56.61. Germany's Christian Diener qualified third with a 56.69.
Karley Mann of Great Britain will be the top seed in the finals of the women's 200 backstroke with a time of 2:12.69. Sweden's Henrietta Stenkvist was second in 2:13.40. Daryna Zevina, the defending champion, qualified third with a 2:14.48.
The French men won the 400 freestyle relay to conclude the opening night of competition with a 3:19.65, buoyed by Agnel's 49.08 leadoff leg. The British team won the silver medal with a 3:23.97 and Croatia was third, swimming a 3:24.54, shutting the Italian team out of the medals by one tenth of a second.

Detroit-born disco-shoegazer...
Thick, atmospheric production obscures bright, starry-eyed melodies; ecstatic synth squiggles dance around new-wave beats on songs about Nordics, toxic crusaders, and geometric shapes; arrangement ideas bounce off one another within ambitious song structures. He talks of his influences: "I would say Steve Reich is way up there along with Claude Debussy. Beach Boys, Depeche Mode, Johnny Cash, Sufjan Stevens, Danielson, M83, Aphex twin. Recently I have been obsessed with Animal Collective, Women, High Places, Lucky Dragons, Matmos, Clark, Wilderness, and Dirty Projectors…" Deastro's songs are breathtakingly down-to-earth, melodic slices of synth-led experimental pop whose energy builds with each iteration of the chorus, hitting emotional peak after emotional peak until they collapse in a heap.

In 1995, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommended that global climate change driven by pollutants and heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, could be monitored and decreased using strict emissions policies and financial restrictions. This recommendation evolved into what we now know as "cap-and-trade."
Carbon dioxide, which is released by vehicles, power plants, factories and other sources , is a greenhouse gas that greatly contributes to man-made global warming. Also known as emissions trading, cap-and-trade sets a limit that's the "cap" part on how much carbon industries can release into the atmosphere. Not everyone will reach that cap, though, and this is where the "trade" comes in: The proposed legislation would allow companies that didn't hit that maximum level to trade "pollution credits" to industries that exceeded it. Each credit, also known as a permit, entitles a power plant or factory to emit one ton of carbon dioxide.
Similar systems have seen some success in the U.S. In 1990, the Acid Rain Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Act, a system of selling and regulating pollutant levels that works similarly to cap-and-trade, helped reduce the acid rain problem in the U.S.
Setting the cap and figuring out the number of credits that industry should hold, however, are tied up in both economics and politics. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow the EPA to regulate carbon as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. The EPA is planning to do so by beginning to regulate the greenhouse gases emitted by power plants and oil refineries early next year.
Despite strong opposition to such jurisdiction, on the grounds that cap-and-trade will stall economic growth, the bill, called the American Clean Energy and Security Act, narrowly passed in June 2009. However, with the 2010 midterm elections radically changing the balance of power, a stronger Republican presence in the House of Representatives may prevent the EPA from moving ahead with cap-and-trade.
President Barack Obama, who was previously a strong supporter of cap-and-trade, has begun to look into designing pollution-control programs that are more Republican-friendly after the bill didn't make it through the Senate earlier this year.
"Cap-and-trade was just one way of skinning the cat; it was not the only way," Obama said during a news conference in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 3, 2010. "One of the things that's very important for me is not to have us ignore the science, but rather to find ways that we can solve these problems that don't hurt the economy, that encourage the development of clean energy in this country, that, in fact, may give us opportunities to create entire new industries and create jobs."

Jane - Evergreen, everyone knows it, but it's nowhere near the top hundred nor has any sign of headed there.
Jessamine - a bit antique, related to Jasmine but, IMO, softer. I prefer the sound, as I do not care for the NN Jaz/Jazzy etc. Carolina Jessamine happens to be a really beautiful yellow flower I'm fond of.
Jordana - The more correct/popular spelling of my own name and the one I'd recommend. There's also just straight up Jordan, which I think of as unisex.
The Spanish J's - if it's the initial you're after and not the sound
My favourites of this category are:

If you like potatoes, come here! They serve pre-meal in place if bread
Be prepared to wait on the weekend, grab a couple drinks while you do. The BBQ Shrimp are legendary, you must get these. Also get boiled crawfish, but they run out fairly quick so don't show up late!
VooDoo Juice!
Guys need sleeves for the worst gumbo in town!!! Do Yourself a favor and try something else or somewhere else!
