text: Fiolek Off and Running Jean Turner | May 27, 2009 Ashley Fiolek (1) came out swinging on her factory Red Bull Honda at the opening round of the AMA/WMA Lucas Oil Motocross Championship at Glen Helen, sharing the first round of the men's Pro motocross championship. Fiolek is off to a perfect start in the WMA series, collecting 50 points with a 1-1 victory on the weekend. Second overall went to former champion Jessica Patterson with a 3-2 score while Cernic's Suzuki's Sherri Cruse (3) collected third overall with a 5-3 finish.The ladies of the WMA were the first on the track at the Glen Helen national, as the first of two 15-minute plus one-lap motos was the opening event of the Saturday program. Ashley Fiolek got a huge holeshot on her Red Bull Honda and maintained the lead all the way to the wire. Kawasaki Sara Price never let her out of sight, however, as the rookie stayed hot on her heels. Price held off Patterson to take second in her first-ever Pro moto, while Patterson collected third over another rookie, Vicki Golden, and Cruse, who rounded out the top five.The second moto saw the girls take to the roughest track the WMA has probably ever seen. Again, Fiolek was off to a huge holeshot, and never looked back, taking her second win of the day. Patterson stayed strong in second place ahead of Cruse for second in the moto, and second overall.Rookie racer Vicki Golden made her Pro debut a respectable one with a consistent 4-4 score for fourth overall. Price didn't fare as well in the second moto, as a run-in with another rider early in the race caused her to hit the ground. She rallied back to ninth to salvage fifth overall.Glen Helen RacewaySan Bernardino, CaliforniaResults: May 23, 2009 (Round 1 of 8)MOTO 1: 1. Ashley Fiolek (Hon); 2. Sara Price (Kaw); 3.

The Ubuntu Linux distribution is coming to the Google Android hardware platform. This means that the secure and open Linux operating system will be coming to the popular Android hardware. The Google Android operating system, although it is based on Linux, has been the subject of much controversy over the security issues that have plagued that mobile OS. The Ubuntu Unity interface is meant to power mobile tablet devices anyway, as I wrote in this post: the Ubuntu Linux distribution is destined for mobile devices anyway, this is not surprising at all. http://www.securitronlinux.com/uncategorized/ubuntu-14-04-future/. it is amazing what the modern mobile phones can do compared to a computer from 1995. This article comparing the computers of today to those of 1995 is an interesting read. We have come a long way since we were using a 486 sx33 with 4MiB of Random Access Memory. In 1981, a 64KB upgrade would set you back US$100.00, in 1991 a generic brand 1MB RAM SIMM would cost US$50.00, while a specialised 1MB Toshiba SIMM cost US$600.00! Nowadays you can get a CORSAIR TWINX1024-3200C2 RAM Chip For AU$169.00 as of the 2nd of July 2006. @ http://www.scorptec.com.au. And a USB 2.0 LEADTEK 1.5G DIGIBANK Flash Disk can be had for AU$99.00 from the aforementioned website. Today, a 4GiB Random Access Memory DDr3 stick is available for AU$25.00!
The technology is getting cheaper and cheaper. I remember my father sending me to pick up a 1MiB extension ISA card for our computer, this was a full length ISA card that extended the memory of our 8086 machine by a massive 1 Megabyte and cost AU$600.00! What a time that was. Another thing you do not see any more are the 200MiB hard drives that were mounted on a ISA card that you plugged into your computer and they allowed you to extend your hard disk space by that amount. These are called Hardcards and were another way to install more hard disk storage on your computer. With modern USB 2.0 external hard disks that contain 2 Gigabytes of data, this sort of hardware would not really be popular any more. Even if it plugged into a PCIe slot and gave fast speeds, it is better to use ESATA or USB 2.0. An operation that would have taken a 486 or a Pentium 1 hours can now be accomplished in a second or so with a modern computer. And now we do not need to use the autoexec.bat or config.sys files to configure the startup of our machines, and we do not need to use a config.sys menu to choose which drivers to load with MSDOS. That was quite a cool feature of MSDOS 6.22, but nowadays we have Windows 7 and Linux that can pretty well automatically configure the startup themselves. With Windows 7 you can press F8 when the computer starts up to choose from the boot options menu, but it is rare that you would need to do that. With Linux, you can use the grub boot menu as well as the many configuration files in /etc to choose which services are loaded at startup.
With modern computers we can use the suspend option to put the computer to sleep at night and then wake it up afterwards in no time at all. With a 486 you could not do that, you had to switch it off totally and then switch it back on in the morning. I remember with Windows `98 you had the screen that would show at the end of the shutdown sequence that would tell you it is now safe to switch off your computer. That was before modern hardware that could switch itself off. The modern smarthphones that you can create office documents on, play videos and music as well as take 5 Megapixel photos are far beyond the VGA cameras that were in the early mobile phones and have a lot more power than the computers in 1995. Running Ubuntu on a mobile phone is pretty awesome, and you could get Doom running on one easily if you did a bit of fiddling. There is a video here that shows Ubuntu running on a Nexus One. and the Gnome menus are usable with the touch screen interface. There is a tutorial on this website showing how to perform the installation of the Ubuntu distribution alongside the Android operating system.

Current: At 7:30 AM on Monday, 12/10/12, Plaintiff's Sheila Hemphill and Charlotte Harper are requesting a Temporary Restraining Order TRO with 198th District Judge, Rex Emerson in Kerrville to prevent the City of Brady from installing Smart Meters or filing with the FCC for their frequency license.
Please check back as all documentation and recordings of Council Meetings and interviews with expert witness Curtis Bennett with Thermographix Consulting Corporation will be forth coming. Here is a very information video from Curtis Bennett -
December 11, 2012 – Special Session Agenda – the meeting was an Action Item request by Hemphill submitted to Council members Weatherman and Davis on 11/15/12 to have a special meeting dedicated to the Smart Meter issue due to the complex issues and to give the public the opportunity to be presented with the benefits of the Smart Meter technology and disclose the recognized health and safety concerns. The following was an additional request as an action item on the 11/19/12 Agenda.
- Consider and commit that the City of Brady will not purchase nor commit to purchase any Advanced Meter Infrastructure aka Smart Meter Technology until adequate due diligence on the health and safety issues are acknowledged and determine the extent of the City of Brady's liability for resident's health issues resulting from Smart Meter exposure can be established.
This request #1 was not on the 11/19/12 agenda because on a 12/04/12 press release from the City, it was revealed that the meters had already been ordered. This was the first mention to the public that the meters had been ordered after 2 council meetings where the topic discussed. At the conculsion of the 11/19/12 meeting, Council member Linda Lott, asked for clarification of the status of the purchase where she specifically inquired that the City had only secured the money and that the equipment had not been purchase to which Mayor Lohn confirmed with "That's correct". On 12/04/12, Hemphill went to City Manager Brown to inquire about the status of purchase and he gave her a purchase order dated 10/17/12, with delivery date of 11/07/13 that was confirmed on 11/06/12, the day after Hemphill was given 10 minutes to speak from the Mayor and later granted another 10 minutes by the Council during the 11/05/12 City Council meeting. Hemphill submitted the 11/05/12 Agenda Action Form but her request to be an action item on the agenda was denied and she was placed under Citizen Comments on the 11/05/12 Agenda to be followed by 2 Sales Reps for Sensus. Hemphill also supplied the following links and resources that was emailed to the council as well. 11/05/12 Hemphill Smart Meter supporting documentation
December 6, 2012 – From the very beginning of the Public Hearing, the Mayor attested that each alleged non-compliance complaint in the Petition Letter was deemed as subjective and was prohibited from being discussed. City officials felt this meeting warranted 5 uniformed police officers on overtime plus the Police Chief Charlie Derrick and Investigator Matt Andrews. Hemphill/Harper attorney, Lara Silva left a courtesy voice mail to City Attorney Susan Horton. A minutes before the hearing, Plaintiff's Attorney Silva received a phone call from City Attorney's Firm were on the line, Silva was able to make out 3 or 4 in additional attorneys to Susan Horton regarding a 14 day TRO for action that the City of Brady was not anticipating taking until after the first of the year anyway. On Friday, when Silva had call with City Attorney, it was inquired that if they just went ahead and signed the TRO
On November 15 at 11:20, Hemphill had a personal meeting with Council members Davis and Weatherman to request a special meeting to be scheduled during the November 19th Council Meeting with intent of the meeting to present the benefits and concerns regarding the Smart Meter project. Once again, the Mayor and I presume the Council continue to suppress health and safety disclosure to the public. This December 11 meeting makes the 4th City Council meeting where Hemphill's written requests were not included as an action item on the agenda.
10/15/12 – At a noon meeting 3 council members, Mary Bradshaw, Marilyn Gendusa, and Brendan Weather, the Mayor Gail Lohn and a few residents received a presentation from Sensus Manufacturer regarding Advanced Meter Infrastructure aka "Smart Meter" technology which indebted the City of Brady to $2.5 million over a ten year term of the loan which represents 10% of the annual budget for a population where 28.9% residents lives at or below poverty. The very important decision was listed on the 10/15/12 Agenda as follows. "A RESOLUTION REGARDING FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROCURING AN AUTOMATED METER READING SYSTEM". The Advanced Meter Infrastructure, aka Smart Meters, is very different technology than the Automated Meter Readers the agenda stated that the Council would be considering, residents had no clue that these meters would replace the electicity, water and gas meters on their homes as comments have been made by residents that they thought it was parking meters for the streets. Per the Sensus website, Automated Meter Readers systems utilize hand held devices to gather electrical, water and gas meter usage similar to the technology the City of Brady currently utilizes. The Flex Net system uses radio transmitter and receivers to remotely acquire utility usage data.
10/16/12 The following is a paraphrase of Sheila Hemphill's recollection with her conversation with Mayor Gail Lohn in their mutual parking lot at work on 10/16/12. Hemphill inquired of Mayor Lohn if she was aware of that the Lt. Governor of Texas had called for special hearings to study the potential health effects of Smart Meter exposure – to which the Mayor did not believe there was scientific information to support that but that she would look at information given to her. Also inquired of the Mayor was if she was aware of reports of the meters overheating and causes fires in the meter boxes and in some cases house fires. She stated that they inquired of the Sensus Sales reps and they stated that only occurred if they were not installed correctly. (Side note – upon listening to the 10/15/12 City Council meeting, there was an inquiry by the audience inquiring as to why PECO removed 190,000 of the Sensus meters. The respresentatves stated that was stricly an installation issue and the council failed to receive caution and investigate the manufacturer and technology based upon removal of 190,000 meters. When Mayor Lohn was asked if people could "Opt-Out" her response was "No, they want electricity don't they". Mayor Lohn stated that the event was already done and there was not anything Hemphill could do about it to which Hemphill replied, "Oh yes I can, I can petition". Mayor Lohn commented that an election could not take place until May and Hemphill replied, "No problem".
10/18/12, Hemphill email and written notice to City Manager Brown and Mayor Lohn the following:
Topic of Conversation:
- Current hearings taking place at the Public Utility Commission in Austin
- Health and safety issues regarding Smart Meters
- Pending lawsuits regarding Smart Meter usage
10/18/12 Hemphill emailed notice of 190,000 Sensus meters being removed from the State of Pennsylvania to Mayor and City Manager.
10/29/12 – Mayor Lohn signs the Finance Agreement
The following is the documentation and efforts of Sheila Hemphill to be included during a City Council meeting as an Agenda Action Item such that open discussion regarding the health and safety issues can be presented and receive adequate time for discussion and allow for a question and answer session with the Council. The 12/11/12 Special Session Meeting makes the 4th written attempt to be included as an action item on the City Agenda – all requests have been denied by Mayor Gail Lohn.

Inflammatory blogger Pamela Geller circulated confusing fliers in New York City Tuesday protesting the "ground zero mosque" but supporting Wal-Mart.
The retail giant wants to expand to New York City, but the city council is against it.
Geller's fliers proclaim, "Wal-Mart is a retailer of peace!"
"The beautiful thing about her little flier is how confusing and incoherent it is. It is anti-mosque, and pro-Wal-Mart, but the Wal-Mart happy face is wearing a veil, and there is an Islamic crescent in place of the style guide-confounding hyphen?" Salon.com's Alex Pareene said.
WNYC's Azi Paybarah said her fliers weren't likely to "endear the world's biggest retailer to skeptical lawmakers."
The city council was supposed to discuss the mater Wednesday; however the meeting was deferred.

Grip Tite Rivets
Extending the range of innovative solutions provided by POP® brand rivet systems, Emhart Teknologies today announces a new line of Grip Tite® rivets targeted specifically at the automotive, electronic assembly, outdoor equipment and transportation sectors. Available in a range of steel bodies and steel mandrels with domed and large flange head configurations, Grip Tite rivets are offered in 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 inch diameters. "This new product will assure users of highly reliable clamp force, even with brittle or thin materials, as well as freedom from stress fractures or material deformation on metal-to-metal or composite-to-metal combinations," said Joaquin Sanchez, POP Rivet Product Manager. "A unique rib design is key to avoid any deformation or fracture of vulnerable materials and tolerates oversized holes without diminishing setting performance" he added.
Users concerned with reliability and stability will note that the Grip Tite rivet has an extended secondary side footprint for high strength application requirements, with shear strength ratings that range from 326 to 696 pounds, depending on rivet diameter, and tensile strengths that test from 382 to 764 pounds. Field applications show that Grip Tite Rivets provide excellent mandrel retention characteristics for anti-rattle properties in high vibration applications, and are appropriate for fastening thick to thin material stack-ups and composite-to-metal material combinations, and will deliver overall installed cost savings. POP Brand Grip Tite™ rivets are compatible with the extensive POP Power tool range, including POP 510A, ProSet® Models 1600, 2500 & 3400, 5250A Inline and the POP 540 Model.

Shell Centre on South Bank to have £300m redevelopment
A landmark building in on the South Bank of the Thames is to undergo a £300m redevelopment.
The Shell Centre, which occupies land between Waterloo Station and Hungerford Bridge, will be redeveloped by Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar.
It follows an agreement with Shell International Limited, which will relocate 1,700 staff to Canary Wharf and The Strand during the works.
Shell has had a presence on the South Bank for more than 50 years.
Shell will retain the freehold of the site with Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar holding a 999 year lease for the site, excluding the Tower. This is subject to planning permission.
On completion of the Shell Centre development, all London based staff will return to the South Bank.
Considerable reinvestment
The oil company will continue to occupy the Tower and lease part of a new building for its London headquarters.
Graham van't Hoff, Chairman, Shell UK said: "This is a great step forward and represents considerable reinvestment in the South Bank.
"Shell Centre is our long-term home in London and we're keen to start working with Canary Wharf Group, Qatari Diar and local stakeholders to develop and deliver a project that will benefit both London and the local community."
The developers will carry out public consultation and engagement throughout the application process.

Spring Lake Park District 16's Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) students walked away from their annual state meeting and competition with three golds, one silver and a gold trophy for top ratings.
And a SLP team will advance to the national meeting slated for the week of July 7 in Nashville, Tenn.
The FCCLA annual state leadership conference took place April 11-13 in Bloomington.
"It was beyond our expectations, actually," said Lori Henry, FCCLA adviser to the group. "The state meet couldn't have gone any better."
In addition to the student awards, Henry, during the conference, learned that her chapter, a member of FCCLA's Region 4, was awarded a national financial fitness project.
The award, in which students taught a SLP Girl Scout troop prudent financial tips, comes with a plaque and $1,000 that will be presented at the annual National FCCLA Leadership Conference. This is the first time the group has won an award in the financial category.
The last two years, Henry's students scored another national prize for their career connection projects.
At the state youth leadership conference, more than 1,000 students competed in STAR events, standing for Students Taking Action with Recognition.
The events are competitive efforts in which members are recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills and career preparation.
This year, eight Spring Lake Park FCCLA students participated in the state competitions, four girls and four boys.
Among this year's Spring Lake Park award winners are: Gold: Tenzin Pasang, ninth-grade, essay on compassion; Raina Acker, ninth-grade, illustrated talk on adoption; Rick Osborne, Josh Anderson and Alex Pierce, sophomores, chapter service display. Twelve chapters competed in the service display category.
The boys were selected the number one team, among the top four teams receiving call-backs by judges. The SLP boys will advance to nationals.
Silver: Chue Yang, 11th-grader, illustrated talk, resiliency in teens.
In addition to SLP students' winning awards, the meeting yielded elected officials among Henry's students.
Raina Acker was elected FCCLA Region 4 president, while Rick Osborne was elected to a statewide position, vice president of research and development. His responsibilities will include membership, sponsorships and fundraising efforts for the state organization.
The SLP team was also one of five chapters to receive a chapter of excellence award, based on its projects throughout last year.
Among its service projects were packing food at Feed My Starving Children in Coon Rapids, assisting parents to help their children select holiday gifts at Southern Anoka Community Assistance Program and launching a Common Cents campaign against texting while driving. Funds raised were donated to the youth traffic division of AAA.
Osborne, Anderson and Pierce's first-place project, titled Our Mission Possible, centered on service projects and charities the organization championed during the past year.
Dressed in sun glasses and "Mission Impossible" garb, the boys in their presentation, among several examples, detailed the group's Walk for Better Health fund-raiser held January at the school during the day.
Students in their advisories (similar to homerooms) paid 25 cents to walk the hallways for a short time. For the project, FCCLA students raised about $330 and donated it to the March of Dimes and Multiple Sclerosis organizations.
The boys' display was "neat," Henry said. "It flowed really well." They received a score of 97 out of 100 points, according to Henry.
Last year, as ninth-graders, the same boys advanced from state to national competition in Orlando, Fla., where they received gold medals and perfect scores in the junior high category (grades seven – nine) Star events competition with their Focus on Children presentation.
Henry's FCCLA group has 34 members, the largest since she's been FCCLA adviser.
"I just have a good group of students to work with," she said. "That's what makes it fun and rewarding."
The national FCCLA organization was founded initially at a convention in Chicago in 1945 as Future Homemakers of America.
The organization now helps young men and women become leaders by addressing important personal, family, work and societal issues through family and consumer sciences education.
Nationally, the group has more than 205,000 members. FCCLA has nearly 6,500 chapters from 50 state associations and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, according to its website.

In what will be news to no one, Woody Allen's Oscar winner Annie Hall is an absolutely marvelous motion picture. This classic tale of neurotic love in gritty Gotham remains a witty and vital entertainment, not aging a day since its initial release in 1977. The film, despite a thick stew of European influences, stands as an icon of the Great American Romantic Comedy and indeed both enlarges and transcends the genre's conventions.
Along the way, Allen and Keaton generate moments of hilarity laced with melancholy. But the film's poignancy is counterbalanced by perfectly timed insertions of comic abstractions left over from Allen's original, darker vision. In a scene that looks like a discard from Fellini's Amarcord, viewers meet a few of Allen's grammar school classmates. Through direct address, these innocent youngsters reveal their adult fates; an array that includes heroin addiction and kinky fetishes. In a famous segment that only gets funnier with repeat viewing, Allen produces renowned media theorist Marshall McLuhan for a classic beatdown of an overbearing film critic. But these blackouts are more than mere comedic cutaways; they cleverly enhance exposition and momentum. Allen's hilarious encounter with two unibrow Mafioso types outside a movie theater establishes his characters' fame and success, while the scene's coda – Keaton's late arrival from psychotherapy – adds a frothy layer of fashionable neurosis. Profound insights are delivered with economy and brutal efficiency. A magical scene with Keaton involving a runaway lobster is reprised with Alvy's new girlfriend (Wendy Girard), with heartbreakingly different results, while young Jeff Goldblum, with one line of dialogue, perfectly sums up L.A. in the 70s.
Through caustic wit and stinging observations, Annie Hall delivers a perfect snapshot of 1970s America; a time when leisurely navel gazing and wacky self-help regimens determined a pampered generation's cultural legacy. It also offers a frozen-in-time capture of an assortment of extraordinary talents at their creative peaks. While Allen, Keaton, Rosenblum and cameraman Gordon Willis would all go on to make many more films, their brilliant collaboration on this production has never be exceeded. The intervening 40 years have not diminished Annie Hall's sparkle, but given its sharply-hewn facets and fanciful dimensions deeper beauty and value. And we are all the richer for it.

the Really Big Bag
I generally gravitate towards simple patterns (love a fast sew!) but I've had my eye on the Modern Diaper Bag from Amy Butler's book, Little Stitches for Little Ones, for a while. One thing has been holding me back - the 52 pieces of fabric and interfacing it requires (52!!). Amy Butler loves her interfacing.
But my mom is worth it.
I am calling this the Really Big Bag because it is so gigantic. While I love a sizable bag, there is no way I would carry this around town as a diaper bag. It is better suited as a weekend bag, or a beach bag, and fingers crossed that it is not too big to take to the gym pool.
It was my first time tackling a magnetic clasp. These are so easy! I feel silly for avoiding them, and will probably include them on all of my totes from here on out.
The bag has 6 really big pockets inside. My mom was happy that she'd be able to take her shampoo and stuff and still have room for a big towel. I think the side pockets will be just right for a water bottle.
There was supposed to be a cell phone pocket on the outside, but the instructions were crazy confusing. The pocket was not pictured in any of the photos and without a diagram to guide me, I couldn't figure it out ... so it was left off.
All in all, I loved the result. But this is definitely a one-time project.

I made this a couple years ago for a friend. It was HUGE. And she is tiny. She loved it, though. We joked that it was actually a bag to hold the baby, not the diapers- or both. I broke a few needles going through all the layers in some spots. It is a cute style and I might do it again, cutting down a bit in size.
Yours turned out quite nice. I like that print.

Amy really likes keeping us busy with sewing and especially cutting a lot of pieces. I made one bag (two, really) - Cosmo bag and it's huge too. And like you said - it's worth it. My Cosmo: http://narejeno-s-srcem.blogspot.com/2011/08/cosmo-bag-koncana.html and the second one: http://narejeno-s-srcem.blogspot.com/2011/11/cosmo-bag-ii-koncana.html

About two years ago I really really wanted to make that bag. I drooled over it, but I just couldn't get myself to cut out so many pieces! Very impressive! And now that I look at it-that really is huge. I don't know what I would have done with such a big bag! It still is gorgeous though. Very impressed with your patience. It looks amazing.

Ha ha, that really IS big! From your first photo I thought, "oh, it's not that big", and then I saw the last one with you carrying it, which gave the scale to the bag. Lol, it's huge, but beautiful!

I made this bag when I was pregnant with my first child and I too, was surprised at how big it is. But I will say, it's "grown up" with him into a great weekend bag for overnight trips to the beach and to see grandparents. We use it all the time. (I left off the cell phone pocket too and the inner box pleat pockets kicked my butt). What a labor of love and thoughtful gift for your mom.

You are absolutely right. Amy does indeed love her interfacing. I just talked about that on my Cosmopolitan bag that I just did. This diaper bag looks GREAT! I think that I may make myself one just for kicks. I don't know if I would be willing to give it away after all of that. Great job - and it looks absolutely beautiful!

Great bag! I love Amy Bulter have made several of her pieces. Made her Cosmo bag at xmas time. She definitely loves interfacing and pieces! This one was also so big that it became the bag I use to carry all my teacher stuff back and forth to work. Sometimes her directions are a little confusing. Cursed her out a few times during the making of the Cosmo bag but it was well worth it!

Boy do I want to believe in DeMar DeRozan. Any chance he averages more than 17 points this year?
According to wrath of David Kahn, the top five passing big men in the history of basketball are:
1) Vlade
2) Darko
3) Bargs
4)Yogi Stewart
5) Mamadou N'Diaye
I agree Bargnani did not play well without Bosh following the All-Star break. However, in the final five games without Chris Bosh last year Bargnani's point totals were 17 points, 15 points, 18...
I agree. In fact, I think Jack has a lot Nash in him. He is incredibly charismatic, works really hard, tough as nails and is without question the leader of the team. His shot isn't as consistent as...
I agree, why would we want Hibbert. Also, Isn't Jose for Boris still a great trade for the Raps? Is that off the table now?
What about Calderon for Anderson Varejao? Do you think it is possible to start him at centre? He is the perfect complementary player to Andrea.
The Real Hornets Trade
I agree, enough with the Collison obsession. Especially since this is the real trade we need to make with the Hornets: Okafor, Chris Paul and James Posey for Calderon,...
I agree. I think Noah is the only other centre who is better fit for Bargs. Andrea is now officially our starting 4 and I am on the record as saying he will not only have a higher PPG and FG...
Seriously, does BC sleep? The man pulls off a franchise reviving trade at what, midnight? Amazing. We just added two starters and a sixth man. Incredible.
By the way, I am calling it now, the...
You heard it here first: If the Lakers fail to repeat as champions, Bosh (and perhaps Calderon, too) is going to Lakers for Pau Gasol. It makes too much sense for both teams.

Las Vegas forward Josh Lunden scored two power-play goals and goaltender Mitch O'Keefe collected 25 saves as the Wranglers snapped a two-game losing streak Saturday with a 2-1 victory against Utah at the Orleans Arena.
"It's a huge win. It's something we needed," Lunden said. "We haven't been getting the bounces lately, but things will start to turn our way as long as we stay persistent. Tonight was huge. We needed these two points to continue gaining on Alaska and to stay away from Ontario."
Lunden scored the opening goal of the game at the 1:49 mark of the first period after Utah's Kory Falite picked up a slashing penalty 42 seconds into play to give Las Vegas a man advantage.
Lunden picked up his second power-play goal of the game midway through the second period as he secured the puck near the slot and blasted it by Utah goaltender Andrew Engelage for his 19th goal of the season. Adam Miller and Jeff May were credited with assists on the goal.
"It was a broken play," Miller said. "I gave the puck to Lundy and the goaltender got screened. Lundy shot it and the goaltender didn't have a chance."
Utah cut its deficit in half with 3:09 left in regulation when Falite scored on an unassisted backhanded wrist shot from the slot for the Grizzlies' lone goal of the game.
The Grizzlies had a couple good scoring opportunities in the final minutes of play but were unable to cash any of them in for the game-tying goal.
Utah had a shot fire off the left post with 2:25 to play and O'Keefe came up with a key pad save with just seconds remaining to secure the win for the Wranglers.
"The guy's been a great teammate all year," Miller said of O'Keefe. "He's had some injuries. He's been our No. 1 supporter and fan when he was out. It's great to get him a win. He played solid for us. It's great to have a one-two punch like that."
The Grizzlies outshot the Wranglers 12-4 in the final period but were unable to overcome the two-goal deficit.
Stars of the game: 1. Josh Lunden (2 goals); 2. Mitch O'Keefe (25 saves); 3. Adam Miller (2 assists).
Fallon rests: Goaltender Joe Fallon received a rare night off for the Wranglers. Fallon leads the ECHL in minutes (2,489), games played (43) and wins (26). O'Keefe recorded his fourth win of the season in Fallon's place.
Penalty killers: The Wranglers killed all four of the Grizzlies' power play chances, including a stretch late in the second period when Utah had a 5-on-3 advantage for almost two minutes.
Next up: The Wranglers and Grizzlies finish the three-game series Sunday night during the Wranglers' Midnight Circus featuring contortionists, magicians, stilt walkers and more. The puck is scheduled to drop at 11:59 p.m. for the second time this season at the Orleans Arena.
Final word: "That says a lot about your team when you kill a 5-on-3 for a solid two minutes," Wranglers head coach Ryan Mougenel said. "Guys were in lanes blocking shots. That's not an easy thing to do. The penalty kill was on tonight. The best penalty kill is usually your goalie and Mitch was awesome."
The Orleans Arena, a Boyd Gaming facility located just west of the Las Vegas Strip, is one of the nation's leading mid-sized arenas, and was recently ranked No. 1 in the United States and No. 5 internationally among venues of similar size by Venues Today Magazine.
The Arena hosts more than 200 events each year, including concerts by top names like Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Van Halen, Brooks & Dunn, Black Eyed Peas, Akon and Rihanna; family favorites like The Harlem Globetrotters and Circus Spectacular; and a wide variety of sporting events, including NCAA basketball tournaments, the West Coast Conference and Western Athletic Conference Basketball Championships, mixed martial arts with Superior Cage Combat, and major motorsports events.
The arena serves as home to the Las Vegas Wranglers professional ECHL hockey team, the Las Vegas Legends professional indoor soccer team, and the Lingerie Football League's Las Vegas Sin. Stay connected to the Orleans Arena on Facebook (www.facebook.com/orleansarena) and on Twitter (@orleansarena).

Lily & Fig Open
It's been nearly a year since a poster on the Crown Heights Forum noticed their signage going up, but as of yesterday afternoon, Lily and Fig Bakery and Tea Shop is finally open! The proprietors, Lily and Ike, have been doing a mail-order and web-based business for some time now, but their cute little spot on Franklin between Sterling and Park is their first location, and they're very excited to be there. It was construction delays, and not the economy, that held up their opening, but now they're ready to go and will open daily at 7:30 AM.
If you're in the neighborhood this afternoon, swing by for a free sample Russian tea cookie, which was crisp and buttery and did not disappoint. Neither did a strawberry profiterole, which I purchased for the very reasonable price of $1.50. They have an assortment of cakes (Lily recommended the carrot and the chocolate fudge), muffins (banana white chocolate comes with high marks), cupcakes, and cookies in the display case, and tea and coffee available behind the counter.
The space itself is light and airy, with ample seating at tables for four. As of right now, they're just offering baked goods and drinks, but they're open to feedback and have the space to develop more of a restaurant-type menu if they so desire. Even with their current wares, they'll be a welcome addition to the morning walk to the 4 train, so check them out on your way to work tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to this place opening. Maybe I should get some cake after work today :)ReplyDelete
Slightly off topic is there a bakery that sells fresh bread somewhere in the vicinity? Haven't been able to locate one yet.
3Ds on Sterling and Franklin has fresh wheat and hard dough loaves, but they don't do baguettes or anything of that ilk. Some of the bodegas have fresh Italian loaves daily (the one on Franklin and Dean has a few), too.ReplyDelete

Fourth Blogiversary
Four years ago, I published my first blog post at "The Assembling of the Church." At that time, my blog was hosted on blogger. I also published blog posts much less regularly. You can read my other blogiversary posts here: first, second, and third.
Occasionally, I wonder if I should continue blogging. It does take time. But, for now, blogging has been very beneficial to me and to others, and it has been helpful in my PhD research. So, for now, I think I am going to continue. Of course, things could change.
I still think that the best thing about blogging is the interaction that I have with my readers. So, thank you for reading and commenting. I learn alot from you.
If you read, but haven't commented yet, please consider doing so. We need one another as we attempt to live in Christ together.
4 Comments
Comments are closed. If you would like to discuss this post, send an email to alan [at] alanknox [dot] net.
Although I'm a long time reader I don't get the chance to comment as much as would like. Practice makes perfect though, and my typing speed is less than ideal. Congratulations on 4 years! I hope you continue in your blogging endeavor.
Your blog has been both a personal inspiration and an essential resource in my ecclesiology research. Your biblical theology and NT Greek posts have been helpful as well.
If I only get to read 1 blog post a day, it is usually yours as I follow you on FB. Keep up the good work, your efforts are much appreciated!
I don't really like your blog, I do like the commentors so I keep coming back.
Your blog has been a great source of encouragement, as well as comfort, to this old timer. Much of what you write affirms my own convictions, which caused many internal struggles during the years of leading a denominational congregation.
You challenge the status quo without rejecting those who hold to it, revealing the genuineness of your love of the brethren.
You do something which most Christians don't do, THINK !
Unlike me, your use-by-date is, God willing, a long time off. I thank God for you and your sharing, and trust you will continue in the same vein.
Please continue.
I can so relate to meaningfulness of having others comment. I blogged for a couple of years and it was so encouraging to get those comments.
I think God is using you. I have recommended you to several friends and family members.
Keep up the good work!

Technical Abstract: Weed control in non-cropland often precludes management for biological diversity. It may be possible, however, to use native late-successional plant communities to exclude weeds, thereby managing simultaneously for diversity and weed control. We studied a limited form of this generalization, considering the invasibility of a particular native community, tallgrass prairie, by a class of invader, early-successional weeds. We measured invasion of extant and added weeds within randomized, 6-year-old plots of restored prairie and unrestored, old field vegetation. This experimental approach enabled us to separate the effects of late successional vegetation per se from factors that commonly covary with late successional vegetation, such as propagule pressure and time since disturbance. Restoration reduced extant weed biomass by 94%, extant weed stem number by 76%, and stem numbers of four individual extant weed species, relative to no restoration. Similarly, restoration reduced added weed biomass by 85% and reduced biomass of 4 individual added weed species, each by greater than 92%. To examine potential mechanisms underlying weed responses, we treated subplots with burning (to reduce establishment limitation), and N addition (to reduce competition). The role of establishment limitation in reducing weed invasion is suggested by increased litter mass and reduced weed density with restoration, and by stronger weed responses to burning in restored than unrestored plots. The role of competition in reducing weed invasion is suggested by increased biomass of extant vegetation, decreased light levels and decreased weed size with restoration.

We've been making spaghetti the retarded way for years, but we should have known the Japanese thought up a better, and faster, way of doing everything.
First, grab this gadget. Then, all you have to do is stick in the pasta, some salt, and pour in boiled water. Cap it, wait for three minutes, and you're all done. Sure you have to boil water separately, but if you've got a hot water boiler then you're set. Pasta4Life!

My hair: fairly normal, wavy, brunette, damaged ends, sometimes problems w/ product buildup
Trichomania smells amazing and seemed good for nourishing my hair after a series of color jobs (the hair stylist screwed up... long story). It was good for about a few months, and then all hell broke loose. No matter how little I used, it would leave buildup in my hair, and it made my hair oilier. I started to look like Severus Snape, and I haven't looked like that since 6th grade!
--- lovely coconut smell (and it's strong in the shower, too!)
--- extremely moisturizing & probably ideal for folks with extremely dry hair
--- ideal for folks with dry hair damaged from over-processing (coloring, etc.)
--- leaves buildup in normal hair (like mine)
--- will easily disintegrate if water can pool around it
--- will easily disintegrate even if it's just been in a container for a while
Overall, I would only recommend this product to someone trying to fix their hair after overprocessing it. Otherwise, for folks with average dry hair, etc., I would just steer clear of this one.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) was falling -0.5% to $3.95 Tuesday after announcing the pricing of $500 million of senior notes due 2024.
AMD expects net proceeds from the offering and sale of the 7% senior notes of about $490 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The chipmaker will use the net proceeds to fund the purchase of all 8.125% senior notes due 2017 that are early tendered. Any remaining proceeds will be used to redeem any remaining 8.125% senior notes.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES (AMD) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow, relatively poor performance when compared with the S&P 500 during the past year and generally higher debt management risk."

At the Yolo County Fair, attendees may be surprised to find salads and other healthy alternatives creeping up next to traditional deep fried fare.
While corn dogs, cotton candy and churros are common staples of fair noshes, food vendors are taking note as Americans are becoming more health conscious.
New this year, for example, is the Sleek Greek. The booth offers gyros, salads and Greek fries. Owners Sandi and Michael Bliss have been in business for 20 years.
"It's nice to have healthy options at the fair," said Manager Kara Moe. "Unfortunately a lot of people deep fry anything they can. To have a choice of a salad is nice."
The gyros include roasted meat or vegetarian filling rolled in pita bread with onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce, a white cucumber mixture. The traditional gyro, a beef and lamb mixture, is around 700 calories "which is a lot less than you'll find out here," said Moe.
"They're going to be messy, but delicious. It's the food that's messy, not you," Moe joked. "I think gyros is a thing people look for. We're a most exotic addition to the fair so far."
At the Douglass Middle School booth in "local food alley," adding salads last year is paying off this year, said volunteer and Band Director Ken Holck.
The booth, which benefits the school's music program, has participated at the fair for 26 years. Last year organizers decided to swap out their usual coleslaw with a side salad, and also added large, dinner-size salads topped with meat. The tomatoes used are donated from Woodland's Pacific Coast Producers, a tomato processing plant.
"We felt like we needed a change and we thought salad would be a good choice," explained Holck. "Sales are really picking up this year."
Customers can also choose grilled chicken sandwiches.
Other booths are offering healthy alternatives, such as grilled steak and chicken options at Mamma Marinez's, and barbecue vendors.
Trina Matthews is manning a roasted corn on the cob booth. The yellow and bi-colored corn - roasted in its husk, peeled and dipped in real butter - is GMO free and grown in California. Customers then add their own condiments, garlic salt, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, mayonnaise, hot sauce, chili powder or cayenne powder.
"As people are so health conscious, healthy fair food is definitely a factor," said Matthews. "Corn is just such a healthy, summer food." The Yolo County Health Department and the Network for a Healthy California, partnered with the Woodland Bike Campaign, is offering free smoothies and spa water on certain days.
Fair goers will get a chance to sample nutritious smoothie recipes featuring in-season fruits made on the smoothie bike and the Network for a Healthy California will provide giveaways such as recipe cards, posters, shopping list notepads and shirts.
In addition to samples, there will be interactive activities and information for all ages to encourage families to fill half their plates with healthy foods and learn healthy habits, such as making the switch to healthier beverages and being physically active.
"Californians are on the front lines of the obesity epidemic, which is why the Yolo County Health Department and the Network for a Healthy California work to encourage healthy eating and active living," said Laurie Green of the Health Department in a statement. "Nutrition education activities, like those being offered at the Yolo County Fair, are critical in the battle against obesity, particularly among low-income Californians who are at greater risk."
For the first time, the fair attendees were able to take advantage of free valet bike parking. In partnership with the Woodland Bike Campaign, the concept aimed to encourage people to ride their bikes.
On Thursday, 50 bikes received free, secure valet service, said Bike Campaign founder Maria Tebbutt, and within the first hour of being open Friday already 20 bikes used the service. Tebbutt expected the racks to be full by evening.
"There's nothing not to like about this movement. It makes the community nicer," Tebbutt said. "The Health Council wants people to eat more fruits and vegetables, and we want to add to that, ride your bike. If people did those two things we would see an 80 percent health increase across the board.
"We all want to be healthy. Nobody wants to be sick or in pain, so we need to make healthy choices wherever we're at."

Shooting Food On All White Background
You have options. Just depends on how YOU want or need to go about it.
If your shooting straight down on the food, using frosted plexi may be another consideration. You can take a light from underneath and the make the frosted plexi appear white.
Depending how "deep" the food is, getting white formica is not as hard to make white as say someone standing a few feet away from a white wall or seamless. I mean, we're talking inches here so you have to think in terms of "depth of light". And perhaps it doesn't have to be "pure" white. Sometimes a "shade" of white works just as well.
Also, don't be afraid to clean it up in post. I'm sure most of the food will have pretty hard edges so selecting the background area in PS and increasing the brightness with Curves or Levels is a real simple fix.

GulfMark Is a Gusher
GulfMark Offshore (GMRK ), a little-known oil-service outfit, is a gusher on Wall Street. While most energy stocks have slumped, GulfMark stock has spurted--from 23 a share in early October to 41.49 on Apr. 24.
Value investor Scott Black thinks GulfMark is an undervalued oil-patch rarity: It generates solid profits but still sports a price-earnings ratio of just 10.5, based on estimated 2002 earnings of $3.90 a share and 8.2 times 2003 estimated earnings of $5. Most of its larger oil-industry peers have p-e ratios of 18 to 20, and in 2001, GulfMark earned 64 cents a share. Black, president of Delphi Management, which manages $1.6 billion, owns 2% of GulfMark. The company operates 53 vessels, which transport drilling gear and personnel to offshore facilities. It also installs deepwater drilling platforms, operating mainly in the North Sea and in waters off Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Brazil. Tidewater, GulfMark's largest competitor, owns 570 ships.
GulfMark is also undervalued, says Black, based on its assets: He puts its breakup value at 66 a share. GulfMark could well attract a large bidder, says Black. But management, he thinks, may want to wait until its stock goes higher before considering a merger.
Magnus Fyhr of investment firm Jefferies, who rates GulfMark a buy, with a 12-month price target of 57, says increasing deepwater exploration activity, plus rising demand for larger, more advanced vessels, will be the key drivers to GulfMark's continued growth. "It is an attractive play on the growing offshore supply-vessel market," says Fyhr, who doesn't own GulfMark shares.

So long Freddie Mercury and step aside Paul Rodgers! Queen is moving in a different direction…
[photogallerylink id=91981 align=right]
Since the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991, Paul Rodgers has filled in for occasional duty. However, Brian May would like something a bit more permanent so Queen can return to touring.
His solution? Lady Gaga.
"We talk about going out on the road all the time but there's a bit of a singer problem to put it mildly. We get a lot of offers to work with other people. I worked with Lady Gaga and she's very creative and is someone we've talked about singing, fronting the band with. She's not just a singer, she writes her own material."
Whether it's Lady Gaga or some nationwide search to find the next Freddie Mercury, Queen is dead set on finding their next frontman, or woman.
"We have talked about doing duets with other people and in a strange way I almost pressed the yes button. We were debating the idea of a TV show where we have all these guest stars. We didn't press it today but we are still looking at it. Lady Gaga has said she would like to do something with us."
Expressing a sense of urgency in finding a new singer, it seems like Lady Gaga would be May's first choice.
And if they did, it wouldn't be the first time Lady Gaga & Brian May collaborated

Advance to semis with convincing wins over Seaside and Philomath
The La Salle Falcons are playing their best soccer of the season as the 2013 high school girls soccer season winds down.
The Tri-Valley Conference champion Falcons were impressive in state playoff games last week, winning 2-1 at second-ranked Philomath in Fridays quarterfinals, after dropping tenth-ranked Seaside 4-0 in the Nov. 5 first round.
Saturdays win at Philomath advanced the seventh-ranked Falcons (13-3-0) to the semifinals for the first time since 2007. They were scheduled to meet third-ranked Scappoose (10-3-0) in a Nov. 12 semifinal game at Scappoose, with the winner advancing to Saturdays final at Liberty High School, against the winner of a semifinal between fourth-ranked North Bend (14-1-1) and top-ranked La Grande (15-0-0). Scappoose defeated Gladstone 2-1 on Saturday, knocking the two-time defending state champions out of postseason play.
La Salle coeds last played in a state final in 2000, when they finished runner-up to Catlin-Gabel.
The team is excited to get this far and see what they can do, said La Salle coach Ryan Cereghino. Theyre confident but not cocky. They feel good about the way they are playing right now.
The Falcons were in command most of the way in Fridays quarterfinal at Philomath, holding the Warriors scoreless until the final minute of play.
Regan Russell put the Falcons on board 25 minutes into the game, running onto a cross from Aleah Goodman and tapping the ball into the net from close range.
Courtney Crain made it 2-0 near the midpoint of the second half, running onto a through ball from Bailey Higgins and putting the ball away from 15 yards out.
Cereghino said the Warriors finished with an 11-8 edge in shots, but many of their shots were fired high or wide of the net. He said that his Falcons had a 6-3 advantage in shots on-frame.
Cereghino praised senior goalkeeper Sydney Chvilicek: Sydney had an incredible game. It was a wide field and they got a lot of crosses in on us. But Sydney did a great job of stepping into those crosses, and having very sure hands.
Cereghino added, Courtney Crain and Tori Goodman did a great job on the wings, marking up on defense and pushing forward on attacks....
And our defensive unit, Talya [Holenstein], Joslynn [Bigelow], Natalie [Stone] and Yosi [Higuera], did a tremendous job communicating and supporting one another.
It was only the second loss of the season for the Warriors (13-2-0), who had won 13 games in a row, after losing 3-1 to Oregon Episcopal in their first game of the 2013 season.
Falcons gun down
the Seagulls 4-0
La Salle was in great form on Nov. 5. The 4-0 win over the Seaside Seagulls was the Falcons tenth shutout in their last twelve games.
Coach Cereghino had his side with a 16-2 advantage in shots, as the Falcons dominated the game from start to finish. Senior keeper Sydney Chvilicek had to make just one save.
The girls played well, Cereghino said.
The Falcon soccer boss singled out junior midfielder Veronica Horton for an exceptional game.
Veronica put herself in position to create multiple chances for us, he said. She was involved directly or indirectly in three of our four goals.
Cereghino also had praise for sophomore forward Regan Russell and freshmen midfielders Bailey Higgins and Keegan Storlie:
Regan got us started with her goal in the ninth minute. She applied pressure all night and did a good job for us up front.... Bailey and Keegan did a good job controlling and winning the midfield battle all night long.
Aggressive play by Russell and two of her teammates led to Russells early goal.
Veronica put in a cross that was bobbled, Cereghino said. Claire Primack applied pressure. The goalie punched the ball out, but it found Regan in the center of the 18, and she calmly finished the ball into the top of the goal.
The Falcons added three more goals after the halftime break, on shots by Higgins, Horton and freshman Aleah Goodman.
Higgins and Hortons goals both came off of corner kicks from Tori Goodman.
Cereghino described Goodmans goal: The ball was crossed in by Veronica; Keegan gathered it in and laid off to Aleah at the top of the box; Aleah shot first-time and it found the far side of the netting.

As I write this column, the tea party is basking in the glow of a blowout primary victory in Virginia that sent longtime U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor back to the private sector. Like so many in Washington, Cantor was well-connected with his fellow members but not so much in tune with his constituents. Like other establishment Republicans, Cantor is discovering that the tea party isn't a party at all. It's simply conservative Americans who want a voice.
These constituents appreciate President Ronald Reagan's belief in a "big tent" party. On that we can agree. But conservatives today are at least as concerned about our burgeoning national debt, the horrors of Obamacare and the disastrous foreign policy of the Obama administration as about the major wedge issue of illegal immigration.
Since the election of President Barack Obama, Americans of both parties have seen change in this country such as they've never witnessed before. His signature accomplishment, the tragically named Affordable Care Act, has completed a government takeover of health care. In a majority of states, men can now marry other men. The Environmental Protection Agency is attacking coal-fired energy plants, causing electricity costs to soar. The president is threatening additional unilateral action in the name of abating climate change. And we have a humanitarian crisis along our southern border with tens of thousands of young people illegally crossing into America, hoping for amnesty.
What do all these things have in common?
The voice of the American people was not heard in any of these monumental changes. Obamacare was passed without a single Republican vote. Activist judges are tossing out state laws against gay marriage that were duly passed by the people. Obama is using his pen and his phone for his climate change schemes.
That's what I mean when I say "the tea party" is actually "the people." And, yes, these people are rightly concerned about the massive influx of young illegals crossing the border.
Parents in crime- and drug-riddled Mexico and Central America see daily reports about the DREAM Act and hear Obama and House Speaker John Boehner on TV talking about what sounds to them like amnesty. The adults want their kids to have a better life, so encouraged by the news reports, they are willing to risk the treacherous journey through Mexico.
And they've been proven right. We've sent no one back. We've set up shelters and we provide food, clothing and lawyers.
If only the people in North Korea, Syria and Ethiopia could get in on this. Imagine how we could flood our schools and hospitals with immigrants — and how compassionate we could be — so long as the taxpayers are not maxed out.
What we are experiencing in America is the tea party — the people — saying "enough."
Cantor, who campaigned against amnesty but took a different attitude in Washington, has learned that not all the people are low-information voters. Some are paying attention — like that 5.5 percent that voted in the Texas primary runoff. Don't think for a moment they are the only ones. Like frustrated job seekers, some have given up on politics and simply dropped out.
We need a comprehensive plan to address illegal immigration that makes sense for our country. It would address language, "anchor babies," chain migration, a sensible guest worker program, measures to protect our schools, hospitals and social services, and a strategy to deal with immigrants who commit violent crimes. We could get a big tent for that.
The people don't seem to be buying the gloom-and-doom of encroaching demographics. Instead, they want a say in how their country is being run.

Nokia Calls Its New E7 "Beautiful," Too Bad It Runs On Symbian
Reminding us of the Communicator from yesteryear, Nokia described the E7 as being "beautiful and all business, and despite being big, it's very thin this time," when showing it off at Nokia World.
The 4-inch touchscreen uses the new ClearBlack Display for darker blacks and brighter colors, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the phone is aimed at business users—yet still has the full host of Ovi services and apps. Microsoft Exchange support is included, obviously, but they haven't compromised on entertainment features, such as the HDMI port and Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound.
It measures 13.8mm thick and has an 8MP camera capable of shooting 720p video, plus 16GB of memory to store it all on. [Nokia]

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Discover Financial Services ( DFS) was the winner among major U.S. banks on Monday, with shares rising 1.4% to close at $51.71. The broad indices ended mixed as investors looked ahead to the two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, which begins Tuesday. The FOMC will release its statement on Federal Reserve policy Wednesday afternoon. Following the previous FOMC meeting in September, the committee surprised many economists and investors by deciding to make no change in the central bank's "QE3" stimulus policy, which includes net month purchases of $85 billion in long-term bonds. The bond purchases have continued since last September. Following the partial shutdown of the federal government during the first half of October and in light of conflicting economic reports, most economists now expect the Fed to wait until 2014 to begin tapering bond the bond purchases that are meant to hold-down long-term interest rates. Last week the Department of Labor said that the U.S. unemployment rate improved slightly to 7.2% in September from 7.3% in August. "
T he ongoing decline in the unemployment rate against the backdrop of moderate 2% real GDP growth is consistent with our longstanding view that potential real GDP growth has meaningfully downshifted," Deutsche Bank's equity research team wrote in a client note Monday, underscoring the likelihood of the FOMC standing pat again. One disappointing economic report on Monday added to the likelihood of the Fed making no change this month. The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index fell by 5.6% in September to a reading of 101.6, from a downwardly revised 107.6 the previous month. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters on average expected the index to decline by 2% in September. The index was also down 1.2% from a year earlier. Also on Monday, The Federal Reserve reported that U.S. industrial production rose by 0.6% during September, followed by an increase of 0.4% in August. The figure for September came in above the consensus forecast of another 0.4% increase. The main piece of banking industry news was the announcement by the Federal Housing Finance Agency late on Friday of $5.1 billion in settlements between JPMorgan Chase, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The FHFA, which regulates the two government sponsored enterprises had sued JPMorgan over losses on private label mortgage-backed securities purchased from the bank, as well as Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.

Washington: Diane Keaton believes Woody Allen, who has been accused of molesting his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was a child, is innocent.
Woody Allen
The veteran actress, who had once dated the filmmaker for five years before splitting up amicably, told a UK publication that she doesn't resent the fact that Farrow dragged her into the mess after she honoured Allen at the Golden Globes, TMZ.com reported.
Keaton said that she doesn't mind being villanized by Dylan not even for a second. She added that even though she couldn't comment further on the sexual abuse case, she still believes her friend Allen.

Hi Tahli,
- 6 on your itinerary, Coventry (Warwick). I stayed in the "Avon Guest House" a couple of months ago and i can recommend. Stayed in the downstairs coachhouse which was really nice. B&B was about £70 per night. Price depends on the room type (Standard, Jaquzzi bath, 4 poster bed, etc).
Ate at a Lebanese restaurant called Aqua. It was very nice and it also has a traditional bedouin style sheesha garden terrace.
