text: DETROIT—Improbably, Taco Bell employee Wayne Lorimer, 28, was dressed down by manager Cal Dyer Tuesday. "I thought I was already cut down to size just by working here," said Lorimer, a former Ford auto worker laid off earlier this year. "But Cal's lecture about paying more attention to the proper way to apply sour cream if I want to remain a valued member of the Taco Bell family, that managed to lower me even more." Lorimer said he thinks Dyer might be right out of high school.

Leavitt: WKU 'light years ahead' of USF's start
We know that USF coach Jim Leavitt will embellish the strengths of any upcoming opponent -- after winning 40-7 against Wofford, he reminded the media that he'd told them "it would be a 60-minute ballgame." Wofford, of course, didn't take an offensive snap deeper than USF's 44-yard line in the second half, but yes, the game did take the full 60 minutes to complete.
So on Monday, during the Big East's weekly coaches teleconference, a reporter covering Western Kentucky asked Leavitt what advice he would give Western Kentucky and how the Hilltoppers could follow USF's extraordinary model of progress, joining Division I-A in their fifth season and joining a BCS conference four years later. Western Kentucky, of course, is in its 91st season of football and just joined Division I-A this season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.
"Well, 10-12 years ago, we were still in trailers and trying to figure out how to get some sprinkler systems working," Leavitt said. "They've got their on-campus stadium, they play an awfully good football. We're 2-2 against them, played against them four times. They're light years ahead of where that's at. He doesn't need any advice from me, I promise you."
He's being a little kind. Never mind that 10 years ago, while in those trailers with three road wins in its history, USF got a 21-6 win at Western Kentucky in that same on-campus stadium, avenging losses in the Bulls' first two seasons.
L.T. Smith Stadium has gotten a nice renovation in the past year and its capacity has increased to 22,113, but the Hilltoppers don't look to be selling it out Saturday. WKU's sports information department said Monday that "about 5,000 tickets" remain for the USF game.
Since joining the Big East in 2005, the Bulls have played to announced crowds of less than 20,000 fans just twice -- at Florida International last year (16,717) and at Cincinnati in 2006 (15,889). The smallest crowd USF has played to in the past decade? That 1999 game at Western Kentucky, which drew an announced 7,500 fans.
Leavitt did astutely point out that Western Kentucky did force turnovers from Tennessee in the Vols' first two possessions last week. He did not mention what the score was when the Hilltoppers first picked up a first down not from a Tennessee penalty -- that was midway through the third quarter, as they trailed 35-0 on the way to a 63-7 loss.

In Escondido, the betting line is pretty predictable.
The two incumbents running for re-election — Olga Diaz and Mike Morasco — will return to their council seats. That's the smart money talking.
A field of five challengers will split votes and fade down the stretch.
Rack one up for the status quo, a result that will likely lead to an appointment to replace Councilwoman Marie Waldron if she wins the 75th Assembly District seat, which she's heavily favored to do.
Rumors of who will be tagged to fill the Waldron seat are already circulating. Two names you hear whispered: Denny "Coach" Snyder, director of the Escondido Charter High School, and John Masson, the former president of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce.
With comfortable appointments like those, Mayor Sam Abed would retain a pro-business, pro-growth majority; Diaz, the lone liberal, would remain on a contrarian island.
There is, however, one dark horse who, in my estimation, could shred the script. Among the council challengers, Don Greene appears to be the only one with the political athleticism and the base among mobile-home residents and Diaz-leaning Democrats to pull off an upset.
Four years ago, Diaz made history when she became the first fully acknowledged Latino to be elected to the council.
If Greene, 46, were to finish in the money, he would be both the first mobile-home resident and the first Catholic priest to serve on Escondido's council.
Not your typical profile.
But here's the odd thing. At a Wednesday morning forum at City Hall, Greene did not highlight that he himself lives in a mobile home with his mother. Instead, he framed himself as a businessman who champions mobile-home park residents.
As for his religious calling, Greene did not mention it, which strikes me as a political mistake.
After the forum, Greene explained that his instinct had been to keep his religious vocation and his political ambitions separate. At a Labor Day rally, however, he wore his priest's collar, symbol of his status as a parish priest in the Independent Catholic Church, an "open and affirming" wing of Catholicism that does not take orders from the pope in Rome.
Greene officiates at services in both Spanish and English at the Funeraria del Angel Mcleod.
To supplement his priest's stipend, Greene runs a graphic design and photography business. He has also worked in retail as well as the mortgage business.
Greene, who moved to Escondido just four years ago with his ailing mother, appears to be a cut above the usual neophyte pol.
A political independent — he used to be a Republican, he says — Greene is singing from the same hymnal as Diaz, opposing a controversial general plan update, city charter, and budget and pension cuts while supporting district council elections.
Greene has a powerful speaking voice, a thoughtful, respectful persona, plus he promises to wear out shoes knocking on doors. (I've been told he's already put some fliers on doorknobs.)
It's possible that a Spanish-speaking priest with a certified sense of social justice might strike the right chord in a city trying to reshape itself as a city at peace with its Latino residents.
But here's the thing.
If Greene were to win a seat along with Diaz, it would set up an intense power struggle on the council.
One of three scenarios could play out.
First, Waldron could resign immediately after winning her Assembly seat in November, giving the council a window to appoint an Abed-friendly replacement before Greene was seated. The blowback would be powerful over this Machiavellian tactic.
Second, the new — and evenly split — council could appoint in December or January a mutually acceptable swing vote, a genteel outcome that appears unlikely given the schism between the two sides.
Third, the council would throw up its hands and order an expensive election that would be among the most important special elections in the city's history.
Odds are, it won't happen. Incumbency is a powerful force. But if Greene were to defy the odds, Escondido would be in for one wild ride.
Corrections: In Thursday's quiz column, Julie Nygaard's given name was wrong. Also, Olga Diaz spoke at, but did not lead, a Labor Day rally in Escondido. My apologies.

Gastrointestinal adverse reactions are common and may lead to treatment discontinuation. To reduce the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions, patients should adhere to a low-fat diet supplying less than 20% of energy from fat and the dosage of JUXTAPID should be increased gradually.Combination with CYP3A4 inhibitors increases exposure to lomitapide. Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should not be used with JUXTAPID. JUXTAPID dosage should not exceed 30 mg daily when used concomitantly with weak CYP3A4 inhibitors. Due to risk of myopathy associated with simvastatin or lovastatin, doses of these agents should be limited when co-administered with JUXTAPID. JUXTAPID increases the plasma concentrations of warfarin. Increases or decreases in the dose of JUXTAPID may lead to supra- or subtherapeutic anticoagulation, respectively. Patients taking warfarin should undergo regular monitoring of the INR, especially after any changes in JUXTAPID dosage. Avoid use of JUXTAPID in patients with rare hereditary disorders of galactose intolerance.

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Zardari has picked Fasih Bokhari, a retired chief of naval staff admiral, as the new chief for the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Presidency spokesperson Farhatullah Babar confirmed the news to The Express Tribune.The move was immediately denounced by Zardari's political opponents and seems unlikely to please the Supreme Court.
Attorney General Anwarul Haq told The Express Tribune that Zardari sent Bokhari's name to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan two days ago, as he is required to do under the 18th Amendment to the constitution. This requirement is intended to prevent the office from becoming politicised and pursuing cases with bias, as often happened in the 1990s.
Indeed, it was the government's failure to consult Chaudhry Nisar that led to the removal of the previous NAB chairman. Justice (retd) Syed Deedar Hussain Shah, who was initially nominated for the position, but the leader of the opposition did not concur with the choice. After the government went ahead regardless, Chaudhry Nisar sued the government in the Supreme Court (SC), which ultimately led to a ruling against the appointment.
(Read: Chairman's appointment – NAB struggling to survive)
Deedar, widely regarded as a PPP loyalist, was appointed in October 2010, only to be removed by the SC in March 2011. Therefore the top accountability institution in the country has been ineffective and without a chief at its helm for seven months.
The SC also directed the government to appoint a "person of impartial character" to the post, dismissing the government's recent pleas for an extension in appointing a new NAB chief. The process now is as follows. The law ministry will wait for a positive reply from the opposition leader. If this arrives, the ministry will then send a summary for the appointment to the PM, who will in turn forward the summary to the presidency for final confirmation of the new NAB chairman. The ball, it seems, is very much in the court of Chaudhry Nisar.
PML-N unhappy with Bokhari
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday expressed serious reservations over the nomination of Fasih Bokhari as chairman of the NAB.
"I wonder why President Zardari cannot find someone with undisputed character," PML-N Secretary Information Senator Mushahidullah Khan told The Express Tribune. "If Bokhari is not directly involved, he is linked in some way to the Agosta submarines scandal," Khan said, referring to alleged corruption during a $520 million deal for French submarines.
(Read: Agosta submarine deal – Benazir, Zardari not involved: ex-naval spy chief)
Khan added that the government intended to appoint Bokhari in order to receive clearance from the NAB in cases against them. According to Khan, the proposed appointment "reflects nothing but cronyism."
Khan was also of the view that the government should consider the PML-N's request that a former judge of the Supreme Court be appointed, rather than someone who would face resistance from the entire opposition.
PROFILE: Fasih Bokhari
Admiral (retd) Fasih Bokhari, the newly proposed NAB chairman, is a retired four-star naval officer. He served as Chief of Naval Staff of the Pakistan Navy from 1997 to 1999. He resigned in October 1999 in protest at the then prime minister Nawaz Sharif's appointment of Pervez Musharraf as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. At the time, Musharraf was less experienced and, some thought, less deserving of the position than Admiral Bokhari.
Bokhari joined the submarine service in 1964 and was part of the acquisition crew of the Daphné class submarine. He graduated from the French Naval War College in 1975 and served as assistant chief of naval staff of personnel from 1991 till 1992. He served as deputy chief of naval staff of naval supply from 1992 to 1995. He was then promoted to vice-admiral and assumed the command of the Pakistan Fleet till 1997. He was promoted to a full four-star admiral in the navy, and became Chief of Naval Staff on May 1, 1997, leading Pakistan during the Kargil crisis, in which he claims the navy was not taken into full confidence by the army.

We were totally wrong. Don;t waste your money like we did by trying to go cheaper. The clear glass was pretty - but the Copper glass adds an understated elegance to the fire and flame. We are very happy with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Triumph from Very Enchanting Look One of the best things about getting glass for these fire pits is the fact that they reflect the light when operating. It's a very cool look! FYI be sure you order two 10 lb. bags as that is what it takes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MommaSD from Gorgeous glass The fire glass really makes the fire dazzle because of the reflection! We have 5 children and we set the logs over the glass to keep the kids from coming into direct contact with the heat source and didn't opt to use the lava rock that came with the fire pit. I prefer the look of the glass alone, but after consulting as parents, we added the logs for protection and it still looks lovely even if slightly more rustic :-)

Can glass be used with an existing propane outdoor fireplace?
We have a propane fireplace with ceramic logs and would like to not see all the burner holes. The fireplace is open front and back to see through to porch and spa area. We aren't using the fiber stuff because it will blow out of place due to winds. Hoping that using a little of the fireglass will enhance the look. Is it safe to use in this application?
yes, I do this, Just do not block the fire jets!~
Date published: 2013-10-21
Can your fire glass be used INDOORs in my natural gas fireplace? Thank you.
Yes, all "fire glass" can be used with any fire. If you use it with wood logs it would get dirty and sooty but it would still be fine. The point of using special "fire glass" is that it will not melt or degrade at high temperatures. It's perfectly safe to use with any fire and a natural gas fireplace would be fine as long as you read the information that comes with your particular fireplace to insure safety. The glass it's self is 100% safe to use indoors.
Date published: 2014-07-02
How many pounds of fire glass are in one bag?
I don't remember how many pounds each bag is, but you will need 2 bags to fill the burner area all the way.
Date published: 2017-08-26
Tempered Fire Glass?
Is this tempered fire glass since tempered glass chips last longer, they do not burn, melt, or discolor like un-tempered?
Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The 1/4-inch Fire Glass is tempered and can withstand temperatures up to 1800°F.

U.S. Lags Behind on Climate Change Action Again!
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Japan has announced new legislation to phase-down the "super" greenhouse gases hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), joining the European Union and Australia in regulating and phasing down HFCs domestically. The revision of the European F-Gas Regulation to implement a systemic phase-down of HFCs is in full-swing in the EU and Australia implemented a carbon tax on HFCs last year. The United States is the only major industrialized country left behind not taking definitive actions to phase down the use of HFCs.
On April 19, 2013, the Japanese Cabinet approved the "Act for Partial Revision of the Act on Ensuring the Implementation of Recovery and Destruction of Fluorocarbons concerning Designated Products," a law that implements measures at each step of the fluorocarbons life-cycle - from manufacturing to disposal of the gases as well as the products that use these gases. Among other requirements, the law requires that entities manufacturing and importing air conditioning and refrigeration units transition to either fluorocarbon-free or low global warming fluorocarbons by certain target years.
HFCs have been commercialized to replace the chemicals that were destroying the ozone layer, but are contributing to global climate change. They are primarily used in refrigeration, air conditioning, foam blowing, as fire suppressants, solvents and aerosols. However, viable commercial alternatives that do not destroy the climate, exist for most of their uses.
Although the U.S. has been leading on amendment proposals at the Montreal Protocol for a global phase-down of HFCs as they are hundreds and thousands of times more damaging to the global climate than carbon dioxide, HFC use in the United States is increasing. The Government has yet to act to effectively control HFC emissions or to implement any domestic policy or legislation to reduce their use. The United States is the largest user of HFCs in the world, and it is essential to achieving an international HFC phase-down that the U.S. implement strong HFC measures domestically.
"The United States has led the way in eliminating ozone depleting substances and calling for a global phase-down of HFCs which would prevent the emission of 87-146 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalents by 2050", said Mark W. Roberts, International Policy Advisor for the Environmental Investigation Agency. "However, the United States needs to join the rest of the industrialized countries and take serious actions domestically if it is going to convince the developing countries that they should agree to the proposal for a phase-down of HFCs."
In addition to proposing to amend the Montreal Protocol to enable it to phase-down HFCs so that the restoration of the ozone layer does not come at the expense of the global climate, the U.S. has also co-founded the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to advocate action around the world to reduce the use of HFCs. It is time for the U.S. to lead by example and show the World that it is serious about eliminating the "super greenhouse gases". With Australia, EU and Japan already in, the world is looking once again to the United States and it must realize that actions speak louder than words.
EIA calls on the U.S. Government to take immediate steps to phase-out the unnecessary uses and emissions of HFCs domestically. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must issue regulations reducing the allowable emissions from products containing or using HFCs; mandating tighter reduction, recovery and reuse requirements; and barring the use of HFCs where low global warming alternatives are commercially available.

Sleeping bats kill bid for 10th straight
Sleeping bats kill bid for 10th straight
Brian Giles doubled and eventually scored on Kevin Kouzmanoff's sacrifice fly in the eighth inning Wednesday night to lift the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Cubs, snapping their nine-game winning streak.
"The irony is it's the best game we've had pitched in a while," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "Their guys pitched equally well, in fact, just a tad better. It was a good ballgame. We just got beat."
Giles doubled to lead off the Padres' eighth against Ted Lilly (5-5), and moved up on Adrian Gonzalez's fly ball. Lilly exited, and Kouzmanoff greeted Carlos Marmol with a fly ball to center for the game-winner. Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth and gave up a two-out single to Ryan Theriot but struck out Derrek Lee to end the game, earning his 12th save.
"It was a tough one," said Lilly, who gave up seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 7 1/3 innings. "I think I made enough mistakes, and I got out of some jams, and it was one of those games where you can only escape so many times."
The Padres countered with a Cooperstown-bound combo of Greg Maddux and Hoffman. Maddux deserved the win, but instead did not get a decision for the fourth straight start, and remained stuck on 350 career wins. It was his seventh quality start this year.
"He's not going to beat himself," Lee said of Maddux. "He's going to make you beat him. He threw strikes tonight, and we hit a ton of ground balls, and that's what he tries to do.
"You pretty much know what he's going to try to do," Lee said of the ex-Cub. "It's just a matter of getting to him. I think we could've done a better job of trying to get his pitch count up early."
Maddux was able to retire the first two batters on three pitches. Lilly found himself behind one after just two as Scott Hairston hit a 1-0 pitch for his eighth homer and the first leadoff blast by the Padres this season.
"You want to get ahead early in the game, and he's being aggressive," Lilly said. "I think if I located a little better, he doesn't hit it out of the park."
Lilly entered the game ranked among the National League leaders in home runs allowed. He'd served up five in his last two starts over nine innings.
"The last time he pitched in Chicago, the wind was blowing out," Piniella said. "One thing about him, he's found a way to battle and keep us in ballgames."
Lilly did just that. The Cubs had tied the game in the fourth. Maddux retired the first nine batters he faced, with Alfonso Soriano ending that streak on a leadoff single. He stole second, reaching third on Theriot's single before scoring on Lee's sacrifice fly to tie the game.
The Padres had a chance in the sixth. Giles doubled and advanced on an error by Theriot, whose throw sailed over Lee at first. One out later, Giles tried to score on Khalil Greene's grounder to third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Giles was called out, but it was a play dependant on your angle. Justin Huber then flied out to Jim Edmonds at the wall to end the inning.
San Diego had a runner at third with one out in the seventh, taking advantage of a leadoff walk and balk call against Lilly. Again, the Cubs' lefty escaped. The balk was a little unusual.
"I was cheating in for the bunt, and got off the bag," Lee said. "You have to be able to make a play on the guy at first."
"I've done that quite a few times," Lilly said, "and it's been close but they've never called it. Usually it's a lot more blatant than that. I guess he thought it was enough. I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to change his call."
Piniella was a little puzzled by the call.
"That's the first time that's happened," Piniella said. "We're going to have to come up with a signal for the first baseman so he knows. That's the first time I've ever seen that called. [The umpire] said there was no play on the runner.
"I wasn't aware of the rule, but these umpires can conjure some up sometimes," Piniella said. "I've got to believe them because they know the rulebook better than I do."
The Cubs still have the best record in the Majors at 38-22. They'll try to start a new streak in Los Angeles on Thursday.
"We had a nine-game winning streak, we've been playing good baseball," Piniella said. "Give their team credit for pitching well. You can't win every game you play. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get another good game from [Ryan] Dempster and start a new streak -- a win streak, that is."

This is extremely impressive, and even more so considering you only really used one knife! The hat and ears are a nice touch, they really add to the visual appearance during the day. Congrats man! Let the battle continue next year!
haha I was happy to place in the top 3 for the 4th year in a row, and flippy was fun to make, and it was even more convenient that the whites of his eyes made the perfect ears - the hat was a challenge .. didn't have a real army beret to use so I used a wool cap hehe and attached his crest onto the side of it..
and yes, there were a lot of good artists that contributed this year - I am satisfied with the placings :)

HEY ! Darren Collison = D Armstrong?
Depends what kind of point guard you like. I think they've all got equal ceilings, but different players will fit different systems.
Collison is ball dominant, the best of the bunch at driving to the basket, and the fastest.
Ty Lawson is the best Fast break PG.
Flynn is the most athletic.
Price is the smartest of the bunch, and probably the most versitile.
I don't know Maynor that well, I'll be honest, so I don't know where he fits in all of this, as I didn't see him much in college, nor did I see him much in the pros.
Depends on what you want from your PG.
I think with AJ vs. Collison it'll be good. It's good for kids to have a healthy competition. And we'll also find good combinations because they are different players. (AKA, it'd be better to have Stephenson and Price play together than Collison and Stephenson. Or with a bunch of shooters on the floor, it might be better to have Collison in as he can drive to the basket the best out of the two...) It's never a bad thing to have two young PGs with the possibility of being good starters.
Edit: I also don't think size will be a problem for Collison. Small PGs actually can be a pain in the butt for a bigger one.

He's 6'/160. He'll never have the body to handle the 6'4/200 athletic freaks like them, especially over a 7-game series. Now, if he can be paired with a Lance-type combo guard, or matchups are such that he could trade off with someone like Rush, that could be negated. He's got the speed and defensive acumen to be very good for his size, but it's still the NBA, size matters.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Collison is going to be outstanding in 2yrs. He has shown he could be a double double guy which not many guards can do in the nba at all.
2012: Pacers return to glory
Paul George All Day
I anticipate him being a fantastic player.
The main reason I'm hyped is because he's an outstanding defender. And lord knows, we could use one of those.
I agree.He has the quickness to stop the quickest pg's in the league.He will have problems against the bigger pg's because he's a small guy but I'm willing to live with that.This guy can come in tomorrow and average 16pts 8 assists a game , with a good FG%.I think he will be in that second tier of pg's.
To be honest, his game has some resemblance (to me) of Rajon Rondo or like a smaller, poor-man's version of Gary Payton, offensively. Obviously The Glove had the size to be a much better defender. He may never be as good as those two, but I think he can be 75-80% of that, which is just fine with me. Those are two of my favorite PGs. (I loved Rondo's play last year, he put together a great, great season). He does resemble Darrell Armstrong, but Darrell is sort of a bad comparison, because he took so long to get to the NBA (he was 27 when he signed with his first NBA team)... when he got to the NBA he already had quite a bit of pro experience overseas and didn't really make an impact until he was around 30 years old. Collison seems better than him already, and he only has one season under his belt and did it in the shadow of Chris Paul, which is just impressive. Collison is only 22.
I get the feeling playing alongside Paul probably had a nice effect on his mindset and game.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
To hard for me to tell exactly how good he will be but my thinking is top 10 p.g. which is pretty dang exciting to me considering the buffet of second hand chicken wings we have been eating from for the past few years.
Is he a championship caliber p.g.? Sure he is. Now don't get me wrong he is not the center piece of a championship caliber team but he certainly can be a cog in the wheel and paired with the right players and coach's I think his talent level is enough to advance the team forward.
Darren Collison will be Marvin Gardens with three houses on it!
Darren Collison will be the drum track on "When the Levee Breaks."
Darren Collison will be that Loonie Tunes episode when Bugs Bunny pretends to be a conductor to get revenge on the opera singer who broke his banjo.
And if there's a more ambiguous way to make the point, I'd like to know what it is!
And I won't be here to see the day

He'll be a clear starter at point guard. Simply how good he will be is up for debate....I just hope that we start playing a brand of basketball to emphasize his contributions.
"man, PG has been really good."
I'll let him earn his way into that group.
Right now I think he is good but not great. If I had to throw a prediction out there I would say he will never be a top 5 NBA pg. IN 2 years maybe a top 10 depending on who his teammates are ala Rondo and the Celts.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
If he is still averaging 20/10 as our starting PG in two years, he will certainly be an all star. The big question is, were those games a fluke? Can Darren really continue to put up those type of numbers with a new team? I think our team is well suited for him, we have some great shooters in Rush, Granger and sort of in Dunleavy. We have a legit center in Hibbert who I can see Darren tossing all kinds of pretty lobs to. The assists will be there for him, maybe not the points.
He put up 20 and 8 while playing plus defense as a starter for half a season last year. He's an above average starter.
He put up those numbers playing in a PG-centric offense though. He's a guy who tends to hold the ball on his hands a lot. If he keeps playing that way, his chances of making an All-Star game will be much higher. If it's more conductive to his team winning, it's another story (it may be, depends on coaching+roster).
I ranked him 6th among rookie guards (including Evans and Beaubois who are more combo-guards and Rubio who's still out) in the league, with the tiniest advantage over Jrue Holiday, some months ago:
I'll keep this for the time being.Top Tier
1. Evans
2. Rubio
3. Jennings
3. Curry
Second tier
5. Beaubois
Third tier
6. Collison
6. Holiday
Fourth tier
12. Douglas
13. Flynn
In terms of playing style Darren Collison is very similar to TJ Ford. He just doesn't lose so much time wandering around bouncing the ball and doing nothing like Ford in the last few years + shoots the ball better + runs the pick'n'roll better (even though he still tends to rush his shots when coming off screens as the ball-handler - that's an area where he'll have a wide margin of improvement next season, his scoring on ball/screen situations). Plus, he should be quite better defensively than Ford has been (he was already solid in his rookie season) but he has those same type of turnovers coming off penetrations where he takes off and then is left without passing options.

I think this is a very good comparison. He really does play like that.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Collison will definitely be the best PG since good Tinsley. That is worst case. Best case, he may be the best PG we have ever had by some distance. That's a nice range to think about IMO.
My bet is that he's equal to good Tinsley. Close to Rondo level talent.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia

|abt 1947
|I'd guess the funeral home sign was probably taken mid to late-1940s to very early 1950's. since I think Dad went into partnership with Cecil Newman in 1952 or 1953, it became Pfeifer-Newman Funeral Home & moved a few blocks south. This building was 2 houses east of the house in the bottom pic on 8th St. But it could have been a bit earlier since it was there before I was born in '49. The original funeral home Dad bought when they moved to Lex was the white one you see in the background. Then he built this building & sold the first one. This pic may have been taken when it was brand new. Sorry I don't know dates for sure.
|The one's easy. Late June or early July of 1949 as I was born 6/15/49. They're in the back (south) yard of the house (also on 8th St.) that sat between 110 W. 8th & the Pfeifer Funeral Home. The brick wall in the background is the west wall of the funeral home.

I'll be the first to admit: when I heard the news last June that Canucks GM Mike Gillis had hired John Tortorella as coach, I feared an unmitigated disaster. By all accounts, Tortorella had worn out his welcome with the New York Rangers, disrespecting journalists and losing the dressing room (or at least stars like Marian Gaborik and Henrik Lundqvist).
To me, and to many Canucks fans, the hiring conjured up the dark days of Iron Mike Keenan – quite possibly the most disappointing era in Canuckville. But Gillis believed in his man, and when Torts arrived, the new coach was heard saying all the right things, such as promising to maybe try a kinder, gentler approach this time around.
Countless examples can be found of gruff, irascible NHL coaches or GMs who still managed to earn both success and respect. Darryl Sutter for example, may be a grumpy ol' codger, but at least he remains widely respected. Glen Sather couldn't hide his disdain, but again, he had no trouble gaining respect for his body of work. Brian Burke wanted his players to be as truculent as some of his infamous sound bites, but respect for him remains high (especially outside Toronto, but then again, who cares what they think?).
Tortorella, on the other hand, with his frequent and well documented run-ins with the press, especially with the New York Post's Larry Brooks, had generally lost respect with his schtick. And rightly so: from across the continent, the 'highlights' of his recent resume include berating and disrespecting those just trying to do their jobs (eh,Brooksie?!).
But let's examine the facts of Tortorella's reign with the Canucks thus far:
The players all claim that training camp and practices have been faster paced and better organized than they were under the easy-going Alain Vigneault. For good or bad, AV had a 'laissez-faire' approach to coaching, putting the onus on his players to show up in shape and maintain their work ethic throughout the season. Torts, on the other hand, subjected the players to more bag skates during the first few weeks of his reign than AV did during any given season.
Next, prior to the game against the 1-5 Philadelphia Flyers, Torts was asked if he feared the Flyers less because of their record, and he claimed he rarely looked at the standings; rather, he insisted the only thing he cared about was his players and preparing them as best he could.
I'll confess, I was shocked when I heard this. How could he not look at the standings?! He must be lying.
But the more I thought about it, the more I came around. Psychologically, this approach might be a better way of approaching an NHL game. The fact is, any NHL team, on any given day, can beat any other team in the league, regardless of the current form of either team. As the cliché goes – that's why the game isn't played on paper; it's played on the ice, where anything can happen.
Ignoring the standings can help in two ways: if your opponent is doing poorly, it's all too easy to become overconfident that you'll win; and if your opponent is burning it up of late, the propensity is to become fatalistic and assume you're going to lose. Torts' approach is a novel and naïve way of looking at it, and maybe serves as a wake-up call to stats junkies (like, ahem… myself) who too often focus on the game on paper, and the Vegas odds (that are never wrong… right?!).
Lastly, the 'craziest', most radical thing Tortorella has done this year: splitting up the Sedins. Although the experiment is rather new, a great deal of talk has been dedicated to it already, including Rob's excellent analysis right here on this blog.
The risk of splitting them up is obvious – perhaps too obvious – and that's why it hasn't been done too often by previous coaches: the Sedins are so mystically in touch with each other that no other duo could possibly achieve what they do on a nightly basis.
But what about the rewards? There are two that jump out: the first is that Daniel and Henrik make their teammates better. They're both Art Ross scoring champions, and 33 years old or not, they're still world class players. And if they're stuck on one line, they can only make one other winger, plus the defense pair, better. Split them up and they have the potential to raise the games of four other linemates, and maybe even rouse the sleeping lion, Ryan Kesler.
The second great benefit to splitting them up is that it throws a mighty big wrench in the game plan of any opposing coach wanting to line match, or looking to get his best D-pair to shut down the Sedin line. With the Sedins on two lines, how do you line match?
Suffice to say that Tortorella's tactics have so far been surprising, refreshing, and – dare I say – encouraging. It's still early days, but I for one am willing to give the coach the benefit of the doubt. So far, so good.


text:
We have here the conclusion and application of this whole matter. After a fair trial at the bar of right reason the verdict is brought in on God's side; it appears that his ways are equal. Judgment therefore is next to be given; and one would think it should be a judgment of condemnation, nothing short of Go, you cursed, into everlasting fire. But, behold, a miracle of mercy; the day of grace and divine patience is yet lengthened out; and therefore, though God will at last judge every one according to his ways, yet he waits to be gracious, and closes all with a call to repentance and a promise of pardon upon repentance.
I. Here are four necessary duties that we are called to, all amounting to the same:—1. We must repent; we must change our mind and change our ways; we must be sorry for what we have done amiss and ashamed of it, and go as far as we can towards the undoing of it again. 2. We must turn ourselves from all our transgressions, Ezek. 18:30, 32. Turn yourselves, face about; turn from sin, nay, turn against it as the enemy you loathe, turn to God as the friend you love. 3. We must cast away from us all our transgressions; we must abandon and forsake them with a resolution never to return to them again, give sin a bill of divorce, break all the leagues we have made with it, throw it overboard, as the mariners did Jonah (for it has raised the storm), cast it out of the soul, and crucify it as a malefactor. 4. We must make us a new heart and a new spirit. This was the matter of a promise, Ezek. 11:19. Here it is the matter of a precept. We must do our endeavour, and then God will not be wanting to us to give us his grace. St. Austin well explains this precept. Deus non jubet impossibilia, sed jubendo monet et facere quod possis et petere quod non possis—God does not enjoin impossibilities, but by his commands admonishes us to do what is in our power and to pray for what is not.
II. Here are four good arguments used to enforce these calls to repentance:—1. It is the only way, and it is a sure way, to prevent the ruin which our sins have a direct tendency to: So iniquity shall not be your ruin, which implies that, if we do not repent, iniquity will be our ruin, here and for ever, but that, if we do, we are safe, we are snatched as brands out of the burning. 2. If we repent not, we certainly perish, and our blood will be upon our own heads. Why will you die, O house of Israel? What an absurd thing it is for you to choose death and damnation rather than life and salvation. Note, The reason why sinners die is because they will die; they will go down the way that leads to death, and not come up to the terms on which life is offered. Herein sinners, especially sinners of the house of Israel, are most unreasonable and act most unaccountably. 3. The God of heaven has no delight in our ruin, but desires our welfare (Ezek. 18:32): I have no pleasure in the death of him that dies, which implies that he has pleasure in the recovery of those that repent; and this is both an engagement and an encouragement to us to repent. 4. We are made for ever if we repent: Turn yourselves, and live. He that says to us, Repent, thereby says to us, Live, yea, he says to us, Live; so that life and death are here set before us.

AuthenTec (NASDAQ: AUTH), a leading provider of security and identity management solutions, and Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced the joint development of DRM solutions that work seamlessly with Harmonic video encoders to enable streaming of PlayReady multimedia content on Apple and Android mobile phones and tablets. The combined hardware and software solution allows content providers and distributors to protect and deliver live streaming and on-demand video content directly to mobile device users. "With the proven encryption key technology of AuthenTec's DRM Fusion offerings working in concert with our family of encoders, customers can encrypt live video on the fly and play it back smoothly on the appropriate end user device," said Thierry Fautier, Senior Director, Convergence Solutions at Harmonic Inc. "AuthenTec ensures end-to-end content protection so that carriers and content providers can focus on delivering compelling programming while AuthenTec encryption ensures their content is protected and delivered for live playback on a tablet or mobile phone." "Harmonic and AuthenTec worked closely together to solve the problem of delivering content to mobile device users viewing live programming," said Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, Vice President of AuthenTec Embedded Security Solutions. "Through the joint offering, content providers can apply carrier-grade PlayReady protection to content on the fly, delivering on the promise of bringing sports and other live programs to mobile phone and tablet users as the action unfolds. This is another of the many offerings AuthenTec provides to enhance mobile security and user identity." When live content reaches a Harmonic video encoder, a request is sent to an AuthenTec-enabled DRM server for encryption keys. Video is then encoded and encrypted in PlayReady format and sent to authorized end users for smooth playback on a tablet or phone equipped with an AuthenTec DRM agent. The complete solution is available now and will be demonstrated at Stand #1.B20, Hall1 at IBC2011 to be held at RAI Amsterdam from September 9-13 . To arrange a meeting with the AuthenTec team at IBC2011, please send an e-mail to email@example.com. AuthenTec's DRM Fusion Server and Agent support Microsoft PlayReady, Windows Media DRM, Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and UltraViolet standards. The Agent is available as a downloadable application for Android and Apple phone and tablet users. As an embedded solution, it is available on Android and many other embedded platforms for mobile phone, set-top box and other OEMs. AuthenTec also offers an end-to-end media security solution through its DRM Fusion Server for carriers and network service providers. AuthenTec's DRM Fusion Server enables the entire DRM process, encompassing content protection, rights creation, rights and condition management and license generation and delivery.

A NEWPORT woman spent her 100th birthday singing Frank Sinatra songs, dancing and having a few glasses of Scotch whisky.
Lily Dowden puts her longevity down to staying active and simgs at her local church every Sunday as well as having a glass of whisky every night.
She celebrated a century on Friday at Blaen-y-Pant care home, Malpas, with family and friends, where she sang along to 50s and 60s songs, had a few drinks and even got up for a dance.
Mrs Dowden was a champion pole-vaulter in her younger days and now attends Malpas Road Evangelic Church every Sunday, plays bingo, enjoys reading and keeps up with the gossip through her daily intake of soap operas.
Mrs Dowden was born at 15 Oakley Street, Newport - in the year the Titanic sank - and lived through two World Wars. She was a housewife during the second when her late husband, Charles Henry Dowden was a police officer in the city.
Mrs Dowden, the last of 12 children, began working at 13, when she made faggots and peas at a cafe in Newport Market and later worked as a carer.
She says another secret of her longevity was the regular walks she used to take along the sea wall to the lighthouse at Goldcliff - with a couple of pints of Guinness en-route.
While she has lived at Blaen-y-Pant for eight years, Mrs Dowden did the daily shopping for friends and neighbours until her early 90s.
She has one daughter, Patricia Jones, four grandchildren Mitchel Jones, 45, Georgina Brown, 42, Clair Gough, 35 and David Jones, 32, as well as eight great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

Ian McGlynn – Gold Morning Mend (TEEEL Remix)
"Ian McGlynn's passionate vocal delivery makes for the prefect companion to TEEEL's dreamy synthetic soundscapes. The reverb washed, almost Chillwavey, vocals lend themselves well to a quirky ElectroPop style, and a quirky ElectroPop style is what TEEEL delivers. By now we've heard enough TEEEL to look forward to his emotional synthesizer work, live sounding electronics played with feeling, and with this reMix he wraps up Ian McGlynn's track in a cocoon of buzzing synths and cosmic melodies. TEEEL and Ian McGlynn deliver a wonderfully heartfelt peice of electronic music here. Perfect for lazy summer nights."
"The single is taken from Ian McGlynn's forthcoming album Now We're Golden, which is slated for release on June 5, 2012 via Bailey Park Records. Teeel, who I first mentioned back in February of last year when he released his amazing debut album, Amulet, does not disappoint with his remix of "Gold Morning Mend".

Along with a bit cooler weather lately, we've seen a new offering at the markets to remind us of the impending change of seasons – pears! We can't believe it's already time to start to transition from summer eating.
We made this recipe several years ago at a meal for Alex's family after finding it at Gourmet. It was such a success that ever since then, though we hadn't ever made it again, we've kept saying, "Remember when we made that pear dessert?"
Seeing the pears at the market this weekend sparked our memories, and decided to not let another season go by before trying "that pear dessert" again.
It was just as delicious as we remembered! If you've never tried Chinese five-spice, it's worth making the recipe. It's a comforting spice blend that smells just like fall.
This time, we served the roasted pears with Greek yogurt and some toasted almonds, and subbed honey for the sugar. It was a wonderful healthy dessert option for the cooler season ahead. Enjoy!
- 4 ripe pears
- 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2½ tablespoons honey, divided
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Peel the pears; cut them in half, then remove the cores.
- Grease a baking dish with butter. Place the pears in the dish cut side down; then squeeze with the juice of 1 lemon. Pour 3 tablespoons water around the pears and place small chunks of 1 tablespoon butter around the dish. Drizzle with 1½ tablespoons honey and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice.
- Bake uncovered, brushing frequently with pan juices, until the pears are tender and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the pears roast, prepare the Greek yogurt and almonds: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon honey and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. In a dry pan over medium heat, heat the almonds, stirring occasionally, until browned – about 3 to 4 minutes (make sure to watch them constantly so they do not burn).
- To serve, place 2 roasted pear halves on a plate. Garnish with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt and toasted almonds.

Harry Burkhart's Alleged L.A. Arson Spree Brings Formal Charges: 37 Counts of Setting Fires
Results of Monday morning arson fire in WeHo.
Updated at the bottom with Burkhart's huge bail amount and a new court date. First posted at 3:27 p.m.
The man who authorities say terrorized L.A. with a three-day series of arson fires has formally been charged for causing most of the spree.
Harry Burkhart, the 24-year-old with apparent German citizenship, was hit this afternoon with "28 counts of arson of property and nine counts of arson of an inhabited structure," said District Attorney Steve Cooley.
Burkhart was scheduled ...

... to be arraigned in downtown Superior Court this afternoon.
Cooley states:
The current charges relate to arson fires at 13 locations in Hollywood, West Hollywood and Sherman Oaks between Dec. 30 and Jan. 2.
His use of the word "current" makes it sound like there could be more to come.
Although some believe it would have been hard for Burkhart to have sparked all 53 arson fires that happened from Friday to Monday in Hollywood, West Hollywood and parts of the San Fernando Valley, the blazes halted after the suspect was detained in a traffic stop shortly after 3 a.m. Monday.
Two people were arrested for a series of four fires Thursday that, strangely or not, seemed to take place with in shouting distance of the apartment where Burkhart stayed on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood with his mom.
So far no one's making a connection between those fires and the Friday-through-Monday spree.
Cooley alleged that Burkhart used "a device designed to accelerate the fire," an accusation that would add up to extra time if Burkhart is convicted.
The string of blazes, mostly sparked beneath cars parked below apartment carports, is said to have caused at least $3 million in damage.
Cooley noted that the seriousness of the charges would mean state prison time for Burkhart despite a California prison "realignment" that is shifting custody of thousands of California inmates to county jails.
[Update at 5:10 p.m.]: Burkhart, who was said to be "wobbly" as he entered court, saw his arraignment postponed until Jan. 24. The judge ordered him to remain behind bars in lieu of $2.85 million.
He was reported to have been on "suicide watch" in jail.
L.A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley -- the man himself -- was said to have been in the house for this appearance.

Read the full story in Environmental Protection.
The current waste management system in California relies on more than 500 local governments and their waste haulers to figure out how to recycle and dispose of products, even hazardous ones. In California, products banned from landfills exceed $500 million annually, according to a report done by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). There is no estimate of the total cost of collection and disposal.
Driven to reduce these costs, encourage less toxic products and those that can be cost-effectively recycled, more jurisdictions are adopting resolutions to support a policy called extended producer responsibility (EPR). Producer responsibility shifts the cost of product waste management from the taxpayers and garbage ratepayers to the producers of products, which often incorporate the cost into the product purchase price. It also shifts responsibility for the recycling system to the private sector, ensuring a smaller government and more competitive as well as cost-effective recycling system.

I fly to Miller often as my mother lives only 3 miles from the field and Barbara and the gang at Ocean Aire are always friendly and helpful. Most recently I flew there 11/9 VFR for an overnight to bring my mother and grandparents back the next day for a visit. I arrived at 4:30 PM and when checking the weather than evening for the return trip realized that the bonehead airport manager decided on a last minute repair of runway cracks and notamed the runway closed the whole next day from 8-5(The whole time the FBO is open in the winter). This made it impossible to even get fuel and depart before the last minute closure went into effect. I was upset to say the least and swore that I would never fly into this airport again. Lenny and the nice folks at Ocean Aire called me the next morning and went the extra mile to lift the Notam temporarily so I and a couple other folks could get out. They turned a really bad experience in a great customer service save and in doing so gained a customer for life. This is the type of customer service is an example for FBO's everywhere.

What is the preferred method of injecting Radiesse for least amount of pain and best results? I have heard of a dental block and freezing the face. Is there alternative methods?
Best Method of Injection for Radiesse?
Doctor Answers 7
Blocks are not necessary
When Radiesse is mixed with local anesthetic (an off-label use) there has been no need for blocks in my practice. My patients arrive up to one hour before the procedure and we apply a numbing cream to the face. Then the anesthetic-mixed Radiesse is injected.
Learn more: http://www.thenyac.com
Nerve blocks are best.
Radiesse is useful to plump up the upper cheeks, and to clean up the jaw line. But it is quite painful, and you cannot rush the injections. Nerve blocks inside the mouth eliminate the pain, and this is the only way we do it.
Techniques for injecting Radiesse
Having a nerve block (dental block)can numb the face and make the injections virtually painless. Some people do not like this because it involves injections in the mouth and will leave the face, lips, teeth, and eyelids numb and feeliong "heavy" for up to an hour or two afterwards.
Because Radiesse can be mixed with lidocaine, the injections should be very comfortable (no pain after the first "stick").
In addition, I have been using an Intraoral injection technique for a year and a half now and the results have been great. My patients report no pain when done this way. More importantly, there is no bruising and minimal swelling (because there are no needle sticks through the skin). Check with your doctor if they use this intraoral technique because this is not a common way of injecting Radiesse.
You might also like...
Radiesse discomfort is minimal
Radiesse can be given mixed with novocaine after sitting with a topical numbing cream. For the cheeks, I sometimes numb the gums and go through the mouth for even less pain and bruising and no skin marks.
Radiesse Injection Pain
If you've never had Radiesse before then you may be overly anxious as most patients very easily tolerate a mixture of the Radiesse with a small amount of anesthetic (similar to the Dentis's Novocaine). Depending on the area a nerve block like a dentist would use can be performed for the lips and cheeks (nasao-labial folds) and lower lip and chin region (marionette lines). A supraorbital nerve block for the forehead can also be done. But remember that the nerve block injections in and of themselves will hurt so it is usually easier to go directly to the Radiesse/lidocaine mixture.
Radiesse...No Pain, Lot's of Gain?
Hi Sherman,
For the least amount of pain, have your Radiesse injected while under general anesthesia. If you are not having a concurrent operative procedure then have your injecting physician mix some Lidocaine into the Radiesse prior to injection. In some cases, local anesthetic nerve blocks are helpful.
Having a friend drive you so that you can premedicate with Xanax and Vicodin is another alternative to dull the pain of "beauty". "No pain, no gain".
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Very comfortable injections with Radiesse is easy
The physician numbs the face with topical anesthetic for about 20 minutes. He/She mixes the Radiesse with lidocaine. Apply ice to the face for about 15 seconds. You should have minimal discomfort. If that's not the case. Dental blocks are not needed. In my opinion, the blocks have more discomfort than the injection, and people usually don't like the numb feeling they get from it.

text: So even though the apocalypse did not occur as predicted yesterday, if libraries continue to close around the country, life as we know it will never be the same, according to Charles Simic in the New York Review of Books. His point: that even though the Internet makes research easier, it doesn't exactly create lifelong readers. And it's true; there's something comforting about the fact of a library, even if its purpose is slowly changing. But I'm hopeful that even as libraries evolve to accommodate the latests trends in technology, they will never actually go extinct.

Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2011/01/05 - The telecom market in the UAE is set to grow at a CAGR of around 10% during 2008 - 2012, says RNCOS in its research report.
The UAEs telecommunication market has shown tremendous growth during the recent past, mainly propelled by the government initiatives aimed at the deregulation of the market and introduction of competition. The TRA (Telecommunication Regulatory Authority) remains at the forefront of the success of the countrys telecom sector. According to our research report Booming UAE Telecom Sector, with competition further intensifying in the market and operators looking at various alternatives to boost their revenue from mobile and Internet services, the telecom market in the UAE is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 10% during 2008 - 2012.
Our study reveals that the UAE has been very progressive in its policies towards the adoption and development of ICT technology. The government has viewed an advanced ICT infrastructure as a way to attract foreign investment and to diversify the dependence of economy from oil-based resources. We have also found that with the increasing education and business in the region, demand for Internet services has also increased during the past few years. Although dial-up subscriptions currently dominates the Internet market, we project broadband subscribers to account for nearly 65% of internet subscribers in coming few years.
Our report provides in-depth analysis of the telecommunication market in the UAE. It gives an insight into the current market trends dominating the market. The research report also presents industry forecast on various telecom segments based on feasible telecom industry environment in the UAE. These include telecommunication industry, fixed-line, mobile subscribers, internet subscribers, broadband subscribers, and 3G subscribers. Moreover, our research presents thorough analysis on the current and potential outlook of various emerging technologies, such as, IPTV and Mobile TV in the UAE.
Keeping in view that the UAE telecom market is dominated by the duopoly of Etisalat and du and their importance in the success of the countrys telecom sector, the report offers rational analysis on both these operators. This includes in-depth research and extensive analysis on their business activities, recent developments, and SWOT analysis in regard to the UAE telecom industry.

Earlier this week we took a look at how semantic technology can play into your summer outdoor living plans. Today, we'll spend a little time looking into how semtech-based solutions could factor into your summer vacation plans.
Perhaps the latest advancement on that front was the work we reported on last week from Sabre, which launched a new developer portal to with APIs based around semantic algorithms that should lead to more personalized travel search services. But while we're waiting for developers to glom on, there are some other fun ways to explore your holiday options, some of which you might not immediately think of as particularly germaine to the task.
Take, for example, semantic web site creation platform Silk. There are a universe of Silks that have been built that might whet your appetite for a more radical vacation than perhaps you were originally thinking of – or at least better prepare you for an adventure vacation you have in mind. There's The Volcanoes Catalogue, for instance, with collections of information on all 1,551 known volcanoes. Using data from the Smithsonian Institution and the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it plots the 50 highest volcanoes; categorizes them by type; and clues you into which are the most active; which have the highest volcano explosivity index (VEI), which rates eruptions based on the volume of product exploded and the cloud height; and which have caused the most casualties, among other features – all information that might be useful in matching your tolerance for risk and danger against your desire to experience steaming craters, hot lava and active eruptions up close.
Good news: sites in Hawaii don't show up among the most active volcanoes, nor do they have a high VEI. Bad news: Kilauea on the Hawaiian island of Kauai is among the top ten in human casualties over the course of history. Good news: According to this article, as of 2011 it still had not re-entered explosive mode when, the piece notes, "a long-term evacuation of the summit, a popular vacation spot, will be necessary."
So, with that information in mind, it's a snap to head over to a site like ZapTravel, which lets users search in natural language for the types of activities and destinations that inspire them. Type in something like "I want to visit volcanoes in Hawaii" as your inspiration, and among your offers you'll find an 8-day vacation in Kauai. A bit surprisingly, other queries on the topic – such as plain old "volcano," "explore a volcano," or "I would like to hike a volcano" – leads to the response that no deal combines all the criteria I'm looking for. But it still pulls together options outside all the criteria that include A "Wonders of Nature" tour on the same island and some other Hawaiian sites, as well as some other exotic choices.
SRI spin-out Desti also uses NLP and artificial intelligence to help you find what you're looking for, but to date it remains an iPad-only app. (Alas, we've got a tablet from another brand in our house.) If neither of these are a fit for you, there are plenty of other semantically-infused travel sites to try, such as Hopper and TravelShark. These are just some start-up players in what will be an increasingly crowded market: Travel booking website Skyscanner, which recently conducted research on the future of travel in conjunction with other parties, quotes its head of B2B Filip Filipov as saying, "In the near future, there is going to be a mass-market conversion to semantic, location-aware and Big Data [data sets that are beyond our reasonable abilities to manage or comprehend so that more imaginative methods and ways to visualize them are required] applications, which will be of transformative use to travelers."
More vacation help is to be found in personalized recommendation engines that target more specific aspects of vacations, like Nara, which is based on neural networking technology and currently focuses on pointing you to the restaurant or hotel that best suits your taste. Kauai doesn't appear to be in its database (yet) for me to find the hotel and restaurants there that meet my criteria for boutique accommodations with on-site spas and chic, Asian food dining establishments. But it's got options for me if I decide, while I'm on that volcano-exploration vacation there, to hop over to Honolulu for a couple of days, too.
Don't know about you but this is all making me eager for a real vacation getaway. Time to get busy planning!

Derek Jeter denies claims of an underwear feud with 50 Cent
Derek Jeter is denying a Swedish underwear company's claim that he backed out of an agreement to market the product when he found out 50 Cent was involved in the brand, for fear it would make the brand seem "too urban."
TMZ first reported the comments from the CEO of Frigo, who claimed that Jeter's action put him breach of contract. The celebrity gossip site also reported the Swedish luxury underwear manufacturer is suing the former Yankees captain for $5 million.
On Thursday, Jeter released a statement saying he was unaware of the lawsuit and denying the allegations from CEO Mathias Ingvarsson, according to the New York Daily News.
• Men's Style Q&A: Staying stylish in the cold
"As a major investor, current stockholder and lender to the Company, I am disgusted by [Company CEO Mathias] Ingvarsson's decision to make these false allegations against me in the press, instead of attempting to work out our business dispute in private. ... I facilitated the introductory meeting between 50 Cent and the company, so it makes absolutely no sense that I would object to 50 Cent being a Frigo brand ambassador or think that 50 Cent is 'too urban' for the brand,"
50 Cent responded to the initial report by posting a picture of Jeter to his Instagram account and renouncing his Yankees fandom in a since deleted Instagram post.

A lot of people ask me "what is areola reconstruction" and what is involved. The short answer is that the areola and nipple area of the breast can become discolored over time or following surgery, such as a mastectomy or breast augmentation. Areola reconstruction brings back the natural look for the areola/nipple area.
I found this article online that I thought was interesting. Here's a highlight:
For many breast cancer survivors, the recovery process can be an uphill battle. After undergoing surgery and chemo, some women choose to have breast reconstruction surgery. That was the case for now licensed medical asthetician Susan Maruyama."I had cancer in just one side but the chances of it coming even to the other side were high," said Maruyama.Maruyama's cancer experience lead to her passion. She decided to take the art of permanent tattooing one step further with Areola Restoration Tattoo.
