For my wife's birthday I wanted to do something different and I've been reading a lot of Anthony Bourdain lately and he always seems to be able to walk into a place a have the chef serve whatever is fresh, or his personal favorite, or some type of special off-the-menu items. I didn't know if a normal person could do that so I asked about it in here and was advised to call the restaurant and ask, so I did.
When I called to ask about it, I spoke to Francesco, the sommelier, and he told me they could do whatever I'd like and to ask for him when we got there. He said they could do a meal from 2 to 2000 courses; it was all up to me. Too easy.
Right after we were seated, Francesco came over and asked if there was any item we didn't want to eat. Peppers (sweet ones) don't agree with my wife so that was our only restriction. It was also just about the only input we had in the meal. He asked if we wanted wine and of course the answer was YES, and I asked about wine pairings. He actually suggested we just get a bottle because he felt the pairing would be too much wine. When does a restaurant convince you to buy *less* of something from them?!?!? I thought that was really cool and unexpected and left us with a very good taste in our mouths. It seemed to say, "just trust me, I've got your back."
A minute or two later, Francesco, returned with two glasses of champagne as his gift to us for my wife's birthday. No charge!
The first course was Carciofi Alla Guidia, which was fried artichokes. This was the only thing we requested (based on reviews in Chowhound) and I'm glad we did. The artichokes were fried, possibly deep fried, but they didn't have any breading or batter on them. They were just crispy, crunchy artichokes, but they were really different and really good. Strangely, the best part of the dish, or the most surprising part was the little bits of fried parsley that was like a garnish. The parsley was also crispy and crunchy but still had that distinctive parsley taste. It was almost like eating tiny potato chips that were parsley flavored. I'd get this dish again just for the parsley!
The second course was mozzarella (I think) cheese and beets. It was something I never would have ordered and I was so glad that I left the ordering up to someone else because this dish was another winner. When Francesco delivered the plates he said he picked up the cheese today from Dulles airport and that it was just flown in from Italy. This seemed strange because to me, mozzarella was just something you put on pizza or maybe had with a slice of tomato. Well, this mozzarella was a completely different animal from anything that I'd ever seen. The plate had three little chunks of different colored beets that were (maybe) pickled on one side and a blob of cheese on the other. The blob of mozzarella looked like a soft boiled egg, complete with ground pepper on top. The most amazing thing was that the cheese *acted* like a soft boiled egg too. It was creamy and liquidy in the middle and it flowed out when you cut the outer layer. I don't know if this a common way to serve this cheese, but I've never had it and it blew me away. It was such a weird surprise and very good too.
The third course was the pasta course and it was some sort of homemade linguini but it was two or three times as thick as normal. It also had some sort of spice infused/injected/inserted into the pasta. It was cooked very al dente and was really good. Very hearty. It was served with a hunk or two of lobster which was also great. I couldn't find this dish on the online menu, and I don't know if it's on their regular menu since we never saw one, but it should be! This dish also had those amazing little bits of fried parsley.
The forth course was halibut over some vegetables. I honestly don't remember what they were. Sorry. They were some sort of pickled thing I think. Whatever they were, they were very good as was the fish. Light and moist. This is another dish that I can't find on the menu (the online menu).
The fifth course was my favorite of the night and this one is on the menu. It's called 'Ossobuco Milanese' and it was veal cheek on a bed of mushrooms and risotto. The veal almost had the consistency of pudding and by that I mean it was so tender that you almost didn't have to chew it. It practically turned to liquid in my mouth. It was amazing and I could have easily eaten 3 or 4 more. Looking back at the online menu, this was another dish I probably wouldn't have ordered. I probably would have picked the lamb, but again, it was much better that I left the ordering up to someone else because this dish was killer.
Next came the dessert and a special (extra) dessert for my wife for her birthday. Both were great.
The real shocker was when the bill came. There were only three lines on it. One for wine and two for "Open Hot Food" which was code for our tasting meal. The price per meal was only $72. I tried to calculate what it would have cost based on similar items on the menu and I ended with something about $20 more per meal! This seemed like a great bargain to me and (again) the best part was we didn't have do anything other than enjoy. No thinking, no agonizing over menu choices, just sitting back and waiting for the next surprise to come.
If you're up for a great meal and a little bit of an adventure, call Bibiana, ask for Francesco and leave it all up to him. We had a wonderful meal, a different experience and a great night. To quote Homer Simpson, this meal was "seven thumbs up!"

Carbon offsets in perspective part 3: Stick to the facts when it comes to scope
Our second major concern is with the way the purchasing company presents the offsets. By defining narrow boundaries for the impact being offset and indulging in creative communications, many are exaggerating the value of what has been purchased. The phrase 'carbon neutral' is almost universally misused.
Companies should start with full life-cycle assessment (LCA) of their products and a serious assessment of their sustainability issues. It is ridiculous for a public affairs or law firm to be carbon neutral while lobbying on behalf of the coal industry.
Also, it is all too easy for a car manufacturer to be carbon neutral based solely on its manufacturing energy footprint. The major carbon footprint of companies is frequently embodied in the raw materials or related to the product use phase. Interface's manufacturing carbon footprint represents less than 10% of a carpet tile's full LCA impact. We calculate all the carbon emissions of our products from the extraction of raw materials, through their production, transportation, use and end of life. And then we purchase offsets equal to that amount.
Carbon neutrality claims based on manufacturing alone should be viewed with scepticism. Companies need to face the elephant in the room, and reputable offset providers should not be complicit in supporting misleading claims.

Tundra after a nap
Zeus on a nice spring day
Aw, Tundra's photo didn't come up.
But your Zeus is just drop-dead handsome!
Huh her pics coming up for me. I don't know lol
Thanks for the compliment to Zeus yes he is my handsome boy. Most people find him a bit more threatening because his ears are cropped something i did not do when I rescued him his ears were already cropped. But I think he's cute no matter what.
Tundra has the sweetest face. I love it! Zeus is really a handsome fellow. He looks so happy. That is a goodlooking pair you have there.
Great looking dogs! Tundra's expression reminds me of my Rosie. She was rescued too
Both gorgeous. They look so sweet. Both pics came up for me but the first was slower. go figure.

The once mighty British pound is being dumped by currency traders as the spectre of burgeoning debt hangs over the government of Prime Minister
The sell-off in the pound has been so sharp that the Australian dollar is buying more than 60 pence, near its highest point in a quarter of a century.
The British currency is paying the price after spending on stimulus measures and bank bail-outs pushed the UK's budget deficit out to more than 12 per cent of national output, on a par with debt-addled Greece.
Things could get even worse for the pound unless the government reins in its debt and appeases increasingly nervous credit ratings agencies.
Moody's Investors Service said this past week that the UK's Aaa credit rating could be under threat if the government did not address its escalating debt problem.
That could be easier said than done in an election year when Mr Brown is behind in the polls and attempts to cut spending could prove unpopular with voters still struggling from last year's recession.

Identifying users who are spamming the Zeitgeist
December 22, 2009
As SlideShare has grown, it has attracted more people. Not surprisingly, it has also attracted some spammers. On looking closer into it, we realize that there are different types of spam.
One is the drive-by spammer who uploads some spammy content and leaves. Its relatively easy to identify this and take the content down.
Harder to detect and remove is "social spam". For example, a user following thousands of users in the hope of getting a few users to follow back, and therefore getting more distribution of their content. Or users who favorite a lot of content hoping to get people to visit their pages. Or who comments on a lot of presentations with the same hope.
We have started identifying circles of such users who engage in "social spam". While this is very common on larger sites like Twitter, we want to kill it in to root while its early days on SlideShare.
The community Zeitgeist has attracted its own share of social spam. We have algorithmically detected patterns where a few users are nominating specific users hundreds of times. Closer analysis shows its probably the same person getting nominated / doing the nomination. We have put algorithms into place that will remove all such nominations from the system. If we find evidence that these same people continue trying to spam the Zeitgeist (either by making the nominations, or if you are the person who is getting nominated in this way), then we will ban the account.
Its perfectly ok to ask friends to vote, its not ok to login as another user (or ask another person) to vote hundreds of times. Our algorithms will detect voting fraud - anyone either casting votes like this, or getting such votes will be banned from the Zeitgeist. The goal of the Zeitgeist is to discover people whose content is genuinely popular among a large group of users. We will be doing everything we can to make sure to find genuinely popular users, not those who are manipulating votes.
Update: Our engineers have continued uncovering spam vote trends and removing those votes from the system. These will soon be reflected on the Zeitgeist page itself.

Review: Osprey Pixel Port backpack
Raise your hand if you have a bag obsession. Me! Me! Backpacks are great for my shorter rides and I'll take a two-strap pack over a briefcase for work any day.
The Port in the name refers to a clear window under the main flap, designed for accessing a tablet's screen without removing it. This could be a great feature for folks who use public transit or need to find directions around town; either way, not having to take out your electronic device during a rushed time period is very cool. For me, the front window was useful for displaying my "to do" lists everyday. Open the bag and—BAM!—list of things I should have done yesterday.

Coming up next
ACC teams out to rebound after lost weekend
Sunday, September 12, 2010; 5:44 PM
Three of the Atlantic Coast Conference teams that suffered crushing defeats in Week Two will have an opportunity to redeem themselves this weekend. All four of the ACC's ranked teams lost on Saturday. Of that quartet, only No. 12 Miami - which lost at No. 2 Ohio State, 36-24 - will sit out next weekend's action with a bye.
At the season's outset, No. 15 Georgia Tech and North Carolina were billed as two of the conference's top teams, and while that still might be true, both squads have lost much of their respective luster. The Yellow Jackets will play at North Carolina on Saturday fresh off an embarrassing 28-25 road loss at Kansas.
The Jayhawks had managed only three points the week before in a loss to North Dakota State, a reminder that didn't sit particularly well with first-year Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Al Groh.
"That was then; this is now," Groh told reporters. "That's not the game coaches play. Coaches play the game that's played today. The rest is talk radio, those guys who have all the answers."
Ah. Got it.
North Carolina, meantime, continues to sift through internal and NCAA investigations into potential academic misconduct and improper contact with agents. The Tar Heels were without 13 players during their season-opening loss to Louisiana State and will be coming off their bye week.
After being thrashed by 30 points at No. 10 Oklahoma, No. 17 Florida State returns home to face Brigham Young. The Seminoles allowed Oklahoma to rack up 394 passing yards and will be looking to take out some frustration on BYU. Florida State suffered its third-worst loss Saturday since joining the ACC in 1991.
Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder - who at one point was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate - has some work to do to get back in the race after throwing interceptions on consecutive throws in the third quarter and completing less than half his passes against Oklahoma.
And then there's No. 3 Virginia Tech. The Hokies entered the season expecting to contend for a national title behind a dynamic ground game and an improved passing attack. So much for that.
After falling to No. 3 Boise State in its season opener, Virginia Tech lost at home to 1-AA James Madison on Saturday. And now the Hokies will host East Carolina, a team that has averaged 50 points in its first two games. Sure, those wins came against Tulsa and Memphis, but after losing to JMU, Hokies fans aren't really in a position to be discounting anyone else's accomplishments.

Victoria Beckham might have the hottest post-baby body in Hollywood!
The 37-year-old fashion designer welcomed her fourth child, daughter Harper Seven, in July 2011 -- but few would know it based on her sultry new photo shoot for Numero's March issue.
Wearing a white corset by Rochas, the former Spice Girl strikes a confident pose for the Japanese magazine. Ironically, Beckham says she's quite shy in real life -- especially when it comes to her soccer player husband, 36.
"David has never been to any of my shows as I'm incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate," the fashion designer explains.
The L.A. Galaxy star isn't the only person who makes Beckham unnerved. "Tilda Swinton is so striking and I would love to dress her," she tells Numero. "She's incredible looking and I love that she seems so confident in herself she doesn't feel the need to conform."

When the National Weather Service started talking about the possibility of another big flood this year, city leaders in Fargo, N.D., and Moorhead, Minn., decided to get prepared earlier than ever before.
Last year, record flooding prompted a frantic effort by thousands of volunteers to fill millions of sandbags in just a few days.
This year, Moorhead's mayor and city council were running the shovels at the city garage, trying to get a head start on the sandbagging efforts.
City Council member Mark Altenburg said it was more difficult to get volunteers out without a crisis.
"Last year we had that panic sensation go through the community, that really galvanized us," Altenburg said. "It's going to be hard. I hope we can ramp it up. The more we do ahead of time the less we'll have to do when the water's rising. It's going to be tough, it's going to be hard work, but we have to get it done."
Moorhead hopes to fill at least 300,000 sandbags in the next couple of weeks. If things go well they might put 500,000 bags in reserve. Mayor Mark Voxland said after last year's record flood, residents are nervous about what might happen this year. "Where the nights quit going below freezing is when we start to see the water really start to run," Voxland said. "We've got to be vigilant watching that darn river and and at the same time make sandbags and be ready."
Only a handful of volunteers showed up as the sandbagging started. Jeff Blake, who lives in a Moorhead neighborhood that was evacuated last year, came to sandbag because he likes the idea of preparing ahead of time for possible flooding, he said. He is already getting his home ready.
"We've started getting things packed out of our basement. Mementos, things like that. We've never had water but it's just one of those things," he said. "Better safe than sorry."
Across the Red River in Fargo, the city's solid waste building will become "sandbag central" where three sandbag machines called spiders are set up. Each machine takes about 50 people to operate and can fill about 5,000 sandbags per hour.
For now, the machines are silent.
About 20 inmates from the county jail wearing orange sweatshirts shoveled sand into bags.
In a corner of the large garage, retiree Don Such was among a handful of volunteers.
"I do it every year," he said. "I'm getting tired."
Such said even if this years flood isn't as bad as last year's, it's important to be ready.
"I'm hopeful, but you never know. That's why you've got to show up for these things because you never know where it's going."
Such said it might take a little longer to get volunteers motivated when flooding hasn't even started, but he said when the water starts running, sandbagging operations will be full.
Fargo City Commissioner Mike Williams said having a million sandbags loaded on shrink wrapped pallets, ready to go, would offer great peace of mind when the water starts rising.
Williams said waiting to see how bad flooding will be has a lot of people nervous and anxious. Throwing sandbags is good therapy, he said.
"It's kind of like a squirrel. They get ready for winter, we get ready for floods," he said. "You can sit around and worry about it or you can come and make a few bags. it really does give you a sense you at least have some control over your environment and you're helping the cause."
Both cities will continue the sandbag effort as long as needed. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service will release its next flood outlook on Friday.

Prior to that, Mr. Cannon was the Chief Scientific Officer for SICOR, a generic manufacturer of bulk corticosteroids, anti-cancer drugs and anesthetics, interrupted by a tenure as President of a newly created Biotechnology Division. In this capacity he oversaw the acquisition and development of the biological business, including initiation and management of international partnerships, as well as design, construction and licensure of protein manufacturing facilities.

Drive past any school in town and you will smile as you imagine students as their desks, working on assignments. But wait! Their imaginations are still roaming the planet and the special sense of humor that is kid-centered, is as strong as ever. That's the wonder of being a kid. They know a lot about how things work and how wishes can make anything happen. One boy told me that he was having a hard time letting go of summer vacation and that he was going to sit and do nothing on the last day of vacation because if he was bored, the day would last longer.
If I could choose a class to be added to Will C. Wood that is not offered yet, it would be some kind of cultural class that teaches students all about cultures, worldwide. I feel that it is really important to learn about different cultures and get some insight on what it's like to live somewhere besides the U.S. It would be fun to see these classes perform dances and activities they had learned related to the cultures they studied. Also, they could sell food that is famous in these cultures. I know we have Cultural Fusion, but that's only Latinos and Pacific Islanders. How nice it would be to see other cultural performances!
Ivette, Grade 12, Will C. Wood
If I could bring back any musician from the dead, I would bring back Beethoven. Our modern society has lost interest in classical music. So if Beethoven were alive, he would help to inspire that spark of interest.

I would bring Dora the Explorer to life so I could go swimming with her. Our dog, Buster, could swim with us, too.

I'd like to meet Walter Camp in person, so I'd choose him to bring back to life. He could see how we play football at Vacaville High School. Walter Camp is the Father of Football.

If the book idea doesn't work out, I might give everybody a pet: Mom would get a rat, Dad? He'll get a pig.

Announcer Don Pardo Dies At 96
The voice that introduced the cast of "Saturday Night Live" for nearly four decades has gone silent. NBC officials confimred that legendary announcer Don Pardo passed away Monday at the age of 96. The cause of death was not immediately available.
Born in 1918 in Westfield, MA, Pardo got his start in the radio business in the late 1930s when he joined a local station in Rhode Island. But Pardo made the move to television in the 1950s.
He was the voice of game shows like "The Price Is Right" and "Jeopardy" before he singed on as an announcer for NBC's "SNL" in 1975. He helped open the show for all but one of its 39 seasons.
Here's his classic SNL intro.
Pardo was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame in 2010.

Protesters decry police inaction on fateful night
Agitators cite lack of action despite disclosure by victim's friend, HT reports.delhi Updated: Jan 05, 2013 23:14 IST
Just a day after the friend of the 23-year-old gangrape victim recounted the horror of December 16 on a television news channel, protesters expressed their resentment over the alleged treatment meted out to the duo by the police on the fateful night.
The protesters, who have been camping at Jantar Mantar for many days, remained undeterred in their resolve despite the fall in temperature and demanded action against the errant police personnel.
"It is extremely sad that even a day after the victim's friend divulged details of what happened on the fateful night, no action has been taken. It is shocking that the police refused to initiate any action. The man's version should be taken seriously as he is the only surviving victim," said Nitesh Malik, a protester.
The protesters also demanded medical and counselling facilities for the victim's friend.
"People have forgotten how traumatic the episode has been for the man. He should be given medical treatment and counselling to recover from the shock," said Neha Kashyap, a resident of Dwarka.
A few protesters also suggested that the victim's friend should be given confidential counselling sessions.
"We cannot ignore the fact that this man is still living in shock. The brutality is so severe that it might take him a long time to get over the past. He should be provided treatment and the sessions should be kept confidential," said Ritu Batra, student of Delhi University.
The members from Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, who had also gathered at Jantar Mantar, demanded immediate action against the police for not having acting immediately on the December 16 night.
"Maintaining vigil is the responsibility of the government and they need to ensure that people are safe when they step out on the streets. To begin with, they must take strict action against errant police officials immediately," said Manish Sisodia, member, Aam Aadmi Party.

Mobility and Inspiration!
Over the last few days my schedule has kicked in to full gear and I've had the opportunity to coach a wide range of athletes. In the mornings I coach athletes from CrossFit Boston and Boston College Men's Crew in the gym. In the afternoon I coach high school athletes from Wayland-Weston Crew. The biggest thing all three teams need to improve their performance is mobility. Today is a good day to focus on improving your mobility. Let's get after it!
In rowing the longer your stroke the further you can move the boat and ultimately the faster you can go. Same thing applies indoors, rowing on the erg. The only problem with that equation is your positioning. Are you in a strong position at the catch and finish? Today is a day to work on mobility and improve that positioning. Take at least 15 minutes, ideally longer, to work on your tight spots. What limits you? Ankle flexion at the catch? Shoulder mobility at the finish? Tight hips/hamstrings at Bodies Over?
Share where you tend to be tight during a row as well as your problem areas for WODs. What are you doing daily to work them out?
Last but definitely not least, the video at the top of the page is something I put together to inspire the families and firefighters still recovering from one of the deadliest blazes in Houston's history. Tito, Hannah, and I attacked the "Iron Bill" Inspire WOD last Saturday. Who have you inspired lately?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEZOLL and Lifecor Announ. Distrib. AgreementBurlington, MA Monday, December 30, 2002 – INVESTOR CONTACTS:
Kathleen Higgs
VP, Marketing
LIFECOR, Inc.
(206) 617-8631
Distribution Agreement of the LIFECOR LifeVest™ System
BURLINGTON, MA and PITTSBURGH, PA, December 30, 2002 – ZOLL Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:ZOLL) and LIFECOR, Inc., jointly reported today they have reached an exclusive distribution agreement for sales of the LIFECOR LifeVest System to hospitals for inpatient use in the United States and Canada through ZOLL's direct sales force. The LifeVest is the world's first and only wearable cardioverter defibrillator, and has been approved by the FDA for patients at risk of sudden cardiac death who are not candidates for an implanted defibrillator. As part of the arrangement, ZOLL has also agreed to make an additional investment in LIFECOR. Prior to this investment, ZOLL owned 3.4% of LIFECOR.
The LifeVest is the first personal defibrillator that can be worn outside the body rather than implanted in the chest. The non-invasive device continuously monitors the patient's heart to detect life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms. If a life-threatening rhythm is detected and the patient is unconscious, the device delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm. It can be worn by patients during an entire hospital stay, without confining them to bed.
Typically, when a potential cardiac arrest occurs in a hospital, it must be observed and reported to trigger a code team response. The code team assembles at the patient, applies a defibrillator and, if necessary, delivers one or more shocks in an effort to restore normal rhythm. Time elapsed prior to the first shock is the most important factor in surviving sudden cardiac arrest. For every one minute of delay, survival chance decreases about ten percent. More than 85% of patients shocked within a minute of the onset of cardiac arrest survive, however the time to first shock in the hospital can be significantly longer than optimal. The advantage of the LifeVest is that the shock is delivered in less than a minute without need of a witness or code team response, greatly increasing the chance of survival.
Richard A. Packer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZOLL stated, "The LIFECOR LifeVest contains leading edge resuscitation technology that hospitals can use as part of a comprehensive strategy to improve patient care and resuscitation. The device will help hospitals meet the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended guidelines of three minutes to first shock. Hospitals today are strengthening resuscitation services by adding AED's, choosing new low energy biphasic defibrillators and expanding their capabilities. The LifeVest can help improve survival in the 350,000 sudden cardiac arrests that occur in hospitals each year. It perfectly complements our leading technology position in the hospital."
Dr. M. Stephen Heilman, founder of LIFECOR, Inc., said, "This agreement will allow us to accelerate the adoption of the LifeVest system for hospitalized patients in the United States, and is an important element of our worldwide sales and marketing efforts."
About ZOLL Medical Corporation

Are liposuction scars very big?

The smaller the scars, the smaller the canula, the smoother the results.
There is no doubts that the smaller the canula that is used, then the smoother the results and thus the smaller the scars are as well. These are also usually done under local tumescent anesthesia as well where the patients are able to stand up and the doc can really fine tune the results the best. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Liposuction scars
As you read we try to make liposuction scars as small and minimally noticeable as possible.
In most patients the "benefit ratio" from the improvement of your treated areas by far outweigh your concerns of small scars.
On the other hand "scarless surgery" does not exist or if advertised is usually too good to be true.
Take the "plunge", discuss your expectations and your concerns in person with a Plastic Surgeon.

Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Only a few things have been clear as groups have bid and maneuvered to purchase the Dodgers from Frank McCourt.
Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser, an unlikely pairing of former Dodgers, had about as much chance of ending up owning the team as Garv did of making a swift, accurate throw across the diamond when he was playing first base.
Tommy Lasorda, he who managed the Dodgers and for the past 15 years has managed to seamlessly survive one regime after another, has the perfect formula. Rather than put his bank account on the line in the bidding process, he exhibits his Hall of Fame talent by allowing the Dodgers to pay him to be team greeter.
Everything else is as clear as Catalina Island on most days, which means it isn't.
My small-sample survey, and it is as small as it is unscientific, indicates public sentiment favors Peter O'Malley and his silent partners or Joe Torre with his partnership with Rick Caruso. Magic Johnson's partnership with Stan Kasten and Mark Walter is a notch behind them in what basically is a popularity contest akin to a middle school student government election.
There are questions, of course. Is O'Malley, an old-school owner, in tune enough with cutting-edge technology and revenue streams to make a go of it today?
Is Torre savvy enough to deal with the sharks on the business side of the industry?
Magic? He should stick with his television talk-about-
the-NBA gig.
Perhaps one or more of the groups will combine forces. This generally does not work. Too many egos. Or, if egos are held in check, too many cooks. A reference point would be the Rams in their early years in Los Angeles when lead owner Dan Reeves had major squabbles with his partners.
My favorite was Mark Cuban, who has a record of success with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. He's long been a part-time stealth Manhattan Beach resident. So he knows the Southern California landscape.
Cuban did not make the final cut, which could indicate he is too smart to think he can overpay and then fake his way to success.
Fred Claire also did not make the cut. The former general manager of the Dodgers, a Torrance High graduate who attended El Camino College, could not recruit enough people with enough money. One of the members of his executive team was Joe Heitzler, a one-time CART CEO with deep television industry ties who lives in Rolling Hills.
Dennis Gilbert, the former agent who played baseball at Gardena High, also failed to make the cut. He seemed a viable candidate until he teamed up with retired television talker Larry King.
Garvey and Hershiser also were not asked to submit binding bids.
No one provides a better example of how cloudy things can be than McCourt. His credibility is shot; nothing he says will be believed.
So it is when he lets it be known he expects the purchase price to settle in at around $1.5 billion.
True? False? Yes? No? Maybe?
Only time will tell if $1.5billion is an amazing reality or nothing more than McBait.
Stories that have and will continue to leak out are suspect because beyond McCourt's attempts to manipulate the bidding, the groups are playing games as they try to get a foothold or an advantage.
How many groups may have gone high during the initial non-binding bidding in an attempt to scare off the competition and now plan to scale back their proposals?
How many groups bid high during that first period intent on making the finals knowing full well they would have to scale back their proposals when bidding became binding?
Any and all conspiracy theories are possible.
While McCourt and his designated people are handling the sale and requirements of the bankruptcy court and will be a factor, Major League Baseball also is involved. This means Commissioner Bud Selig is involved. This does not make you feel warm and fuzzy. Remember, it was Selig who set the table for the mess the Dodgers are today by allowing McCourt to buy the team.
Another thing to remember, McCourt's first, last and always goal has been to line his pockets. It will come down to which group can put together the best financial package.
Once that is settled, once a new owner is anointed, you're going to have to cross your fingers and hope the new owner and his financial backers have enough money remaining along with the expertise to make it work.
One thing is clear. Anyone willing to agree to allow McCourt to retain ownership of the parking lot is not who we want as the new owner of the Dodgers.

The mum-of-two described her garden as big and bold and said that most people call it the Secret Garden.
The judges agreed, praising it for its 'tranquil feeling, tucked away from all the hustle and bustle'.
The lush back garden is encompassed by thick ferns and bushes, towering trees and unusual ornaments – a world away from what people expect when they arrive at her home in Lavender Lane, West Harton, South Shields.
More Glorious Gardens results
Margaret's garden is blooming great!
Couple's dream garden takes third place
Three more gardens strike it lucky
The mum-of-two moved in 10 years ago, and converted the garden into something 'big and bold'.
The judges remarked: "It's almost a tropical paradise in the heart of South Shields, and the mature ferns add to an oasis of calm.
"A seating area tucked away from all the hustle and bustle adds to this tranquil feeling.
"Their pond uses natural sources and timberwork, it is an excellent habitat for wildlife."
As runner-up, Mrs Clayburn wins a barbecue, or 50 of vouchers for B&Q.
She said: "I'm chuffed to bits, really pleased. The 50 will come in handy too because we're doing out the kitchen at the moment, thanks very much."
The 40-year-old says the patch of land is perfect for her two young sons, Lloyd, 14, and Ellis, 12, both pupils at Mortimer Comprehensive School in Reading Road.
Mrs Clayburn, a site manager for BAE Systems, was runner-up in the Gazette's Glorious Gardens contest two years ago.
She's helped out in the garden by partner Mark Giles, 47.

DSD1 (the eldest of 2 DSDs) refuses to see her biological dad(36 Posts)
I have two DSDs; the eldest is currently 9, the youngest is 8. Both DSDs live with me and my OH (their biological mother (BM)). The formal arrangement, which has been in place for a few years, is that they see their Biological Dad (BD) every other weekend, every Friday, and either every Tuesday or Thursday - basically they see him a lot and if ever they want to see him or speak to him outside of this they are free to do so - something we encourage and something he wants. So far so good.
About 18 months ago the kid's BD moved into a new house with his new OH; about 12 months ago he and she had a new baby. Good for them.
Over the course of the last year our eldest DSD has been wanting to see her BD less and less; she has stopped wanting to sleep at his house all together and is now starting to refuse to see him at all. Not good for anyone (I think?)
There is some obvious stuff in here in that the eldest DSD (DSD1) had undivided attention for 18 months from both biological parents (BPs) before DSD2 came long, at which point DSD1 had to share the BPs with DSD2. Then when the kid's BD lived on his own both DSDs had him to themselves when they saw him, then when he moved in with his new OH they had to share him with her. And then when the new baby came along both DSDs had to share their BD with his new OH and his new baby. So it's been diminishing time alone for DSD1 with her BD from when she was 18 months old.
There is some less obvious stuff in here in that both DSDs tell us that their BD's new OH has had words with the DSDs along the lines of "don't wreck my house in the same way you wreck your own house" (I can't blame her for that) which has made DSD1 not like her much, or to be more accruate not like going round their BD's new house where DSD1 feels she is not in control (DSD2 is 'totally' fine wth all of this and appears to love the new baby). Also, both DSDs had their own bedrooms at their BD's new house and where DSD1 has been refusing to go round to the BD's new house the BD decided to give one of the two bedrooms to his new mother in law when she stays and consequently make both DSDs share a bedroom. This makes sense on paper as DSD1 had pretty much stopped sleeping there when this happened, although (understandably) in the eyes of DSD1 this is another reduction in how much she feels her BD is focusing on her. Finally, DSD1 can be a selfish little cow whereas DSD2 is a bit more balanced.
My problem now is that DSD1 is refusing to even see her BD at all, this has been happening for a couple of weeks after consistently deteriorating over the past year. I can hear the screaming in the background as I'm typing this as her BD is coming round in 5 minutes to take them out for a mince pie (this year he is having them boxing day and we are having them Christmas day, it alternates each year).
I strongly believe both DSDs should see their BD regularly and as agreed. My OH, the kid's BM, believes that forcing DSD1 to see her BD will end up in DSD1 hating her BD, which no one wants to happen.
What should I do when DSD1 refuses to go out the front door with her BD when he calls for a planned meeting? DSD1 is admirably strong willed and sees this as another control issue.
Short of physically dragging DSD1 out of the house, something I'm not allowed to do, I don't know what to do with this. DSD1 is not materialistic in the slightest and can't be persuaded by such things as having her Christmas presents taken away. In general she can be a little selfish cow when she isn't getting what she wants; when I was her age I'd have received a few smacked bums and that would have been that, these days though that isn't an option.
From my own selfish perspective with DSD1 refusing to see her dad, and my OH refusing to use baby sitters, we don't get any time to ourselves anymore, but I don't want that to be the focus of this thread.
What d'ya reckon? Should DSD1 be forced to see he BD? If so, how?
Yes, exactly that. They can talk grown up but you have to remind yourself they are very far from grown up!
Sorry, just duplicated my last post.
I can definitely relate to what you say about unrealistic ecpectations. Just because I can have a conversation with them doesn't mean they are adults.
Also as I'm their step dad I don't have the automatic unconditional love that their mum and dad have, I have to work at it.
It was brilliant by all accounts, sadly he died very very suddenly eight years ago. There is a lot of fall-out for the whole family around that, which manifests itself in a variety of ways, in my OH's case one of the outcomes is a fierce independance, among other things. Got to sign off now to wrap presents and put on clearly fake cotton ball beard.
'I think it is perfectly possible to learn the skills required to be an effective parent without having your own biological children' - true but it takes time and doesn't come automatically, as it does for many new parents when they have a baby (although not all new parents, of course, PND/difficulty bonding and all that).
If you've had your child since a baby, you know them thoroughly and have lots of adorable memories of all the great times to help you through the more difficult ones. It's tough for step-parents who don't have that life-long (for the child) connection. It is true what they tell you 'it's different when you have your own' as many nannies will confess - far easier to manage children you nanny than deal with your own who know how to press your buttons! Can also be an issue that step-parents sometimes have expectations that are out of kilter - unreasonable for the developmental stage of the step-child, for instance, especially if they have their own children who are much younger.
Basically, families are complicated, human relationships are complicated, being a parent is hard and being a step-parent is hard. Somehow most of us manage to muddle through, thank heavens, and often more by luck than judgement!

DSD1 went out with her dad today after a huge screamning fit and all was well with the world when she got back.
Excellent - it's important that the DC's continue to have positive experiences with their Dad as a contrast to negative thoughts/memories that they may be having.
It's also important for your DP to remember that even when the DC's refuse, the reality of the contact is far more positive than the anticipation - hopefully, todays experience will give her the motivation to insist that her DC's do maintain contact.
If the DC's lose contact with their Dad now, they may never have a father figure in their life. Does she want their Dad to walk them down the aisle? For her grandchildren to have a grandfather? If so, she may need to use some "tough love" with her DD's now, alongside putting support in place to help them, rather than take the easy option.
My fear, given what you have said about her refusal to involve you in their lives, is that she sees no value in any male role models in their life. What is her own relationship with her Dad like?
She's also suffering from norovirus and throwing up everywhere so I could have picked a better time to do it
Um, yes - you could have!
Hope she feels better soon - Christmas is stressful for all families, more so for blended, and illness certainly doesn't help!
Wait til you have some time together without the pressures of every day life and explain how you feel to her about being excluded - without any expectation that she will change, but at least putting the issues on the table will give you both a starting point.
Being the bad guy makes her sad but she frequently does it. This is a particular topic of trouble for her in that respect though. For instance DSD1 went out with her dad today after a huge screamning fit and all was well with the world when she got back.
Yep, broached that topic with her during my posting interval this afternoon. Got my marching orders to begin with but it calmed down after that. Its going to be something I need to keep hammering away at.
She's also suffering from norovirus and throwing up everywhere so I could have picked a better time to do it but at east it's back on the table again. Can't think where DSD1 gets her determination from
As an aside to what I'm learning from this thread (thanks everyone) something my OH often says is that things would be easier if I also had my own children. I'd say that's a huge double edged sword.
I think it is perfectly possible to learn the skills required to be an effective parent without having your own biological children, so no, I don't think you need to have your own.
I think many decisions are a lot easier for someone at "arms length" to make. Does your DP want her DC's to like her - or is she prepared to make the tough decisions and be the bad guy? Parenting isn't a popularity contest!
It does seem that your DP intends to exclude you from her own parenting decisions - have you talked about it with her at all?
As an aside to what I'm learning from this thread (thanks everyone) something my OH often says is that things would be easier if I also had my own children. I'd say that's a huge double edged sword.
That is something my OH has mentioned; both kids are very expressive and articulate but it's the things they aren't saying that scare us most, whether it's things they're just not saying or feelings they themselves don't understand yet.
On the plus side they both seem really happy outside of DSD1's feelings around this issue.
But I dispute your assumption that it is always a problem of resident parents manipulating children into refusing to see the non-resident - it can come from the child
I agree, and didn't meant to give the impression otherwise - many DC's refuse to see a parent (or refuse go to school) because of their own emotional conflict and/or reasoning.
But, if one parent refuses to challenge the DC's rejection of the other parent - if a parent accepts and facilitates the rejection, telling them they don't have to if they don't want to, then imo, that is no different to a parent refusing to help a child get over their fear/rejection of school.
Society punishes parents who fail to see the value of their childs education, and yet generally turns a blind eye to those parents who fail to see the value of their DC's relationship with their other parent. If a DC becomes a school refuser, and a parent tells the DC that they don't have to go to school if they don't want to, that parent is held accountable. Why is it different when a DC refuses to spend time with a parent?
In my DSD case, her rejection of DP was actively facilitated by her Mum who allowed her to make that choice, but refused to allow her to opt out of other care arrangements. She didn't give DSD a choice when she had to spend the night at their grandmothers while Mum worked, and they had blazing arguments about it - but Mum would call in sick to work if DSD refused to see her Dad as arranged.
The OP's DP is similar -she has allowed her DD to opt out of that relationship, rather than give the impression that it is as non-negotiable as getting up, putting on her uniform and attending school every morning.
It bothers me immensely that socially, a DC's relationship with their parents is given less priority than their education.
OK Notadisney, I see we are actually thinking along the same lines. But I dispute your assumption that it is always a problem of resident parents manipulating children into refusing to see the non-resident - it can come from the child, esp. where the non-resident is entering into a new relationship or having more children. I can remember being really scared when my Dad remarried that he'd lose interest in us, that we would be less important to him, and when my half-sister was born even more so.
Both my other sister and I adored our baby sister from the off, btw, we were delighted to have her, but desperately worried about our place in the family. It really hurt when we saw a wedding invite on the mantelpiece from an old friend of my father's that said 'edam'sdadandfamily' and our stepmother said that didn't mean us. Or when we went to my Gran's and our photo had been taken down in favour of one of my Dad, stepmum and new baby. Adults can really hurt children without even being deliberately nasty.
Thanks everyone. Its really useful to get views from outside the relationship, sometimes those involved are too involved to see the truth of things.
I'll post up how we get on when there is a change in (all of our) behaviours, or if there isn't.
Hope everyone has a cracking Christmas.
sorry - just to add, this is how I see your Op and what you have described of her behaviour. I have had strong willed and attention seeking dd and what you wrote in your op struck home with me.
Now at twenty she has changed somewhat, but ignoring her and effectively calling her bluff (though it took many weeks) she eventually came round to know that the adults (who all meet without her) wouldn't do what she wanted
your dsd is gaining so much attention from refusing to see her bio father.
Take away the attention
you may find in her teen years she is the sort of teen that has a drama and is naughty to gain valued attention as this type of dc teen doesn't care whether the attnetion is positive or negative - it is just attention and much needed by her.
better for all of you to make sure both dc get positive attnetion and ignore the negative - as you haven't ignored the negative your dsd has pushed her bio father further and further away to see what happens and how much attnetion she can get out of the situation
That's exactly my point - both school refusal and parental rejection are the result of a range of complex emotions ; which most DCs need help to deal with. Society has decided that attending school is important so a child's refusal results in professional intervention and consequences for the parents if they fail to engage with the support offered.
Why is it that a child's relationship with a parent is considered any less important? How come there is no social expectation/penalties if one parent encourages rejection of the other?
NotaDisney, I think you are applying the wrong analogy when you suggest not wanting to see a non-resident parent should be treated as severely as school refusal. This is about complicated human relationships and emotions - punishing a child for expressing their feelings about the break up of their parents' relationship in the only way they can is wrong and cruel. (Apart from anything else, school refusal isn't necessarily just about bad children either - it's usually to do with something deeper.)
Parents splitting up is clearly extremely disruptive for a child and, especially when a parent forms a new relationship, can cause real distress - however inevitable the split or new relationship is, however much it is, in the end, for the best. I don't mean to guilt trip anyone, but look at it from the child's point of view - they are the ones done to in this situation, who didn't choose it, didn't want it and have to live with the results. Punishing them for expressing their feelings about this is cruel, even if as adults we know the ending of a relationship is ultimately for the best.
I know damn well, and did realise at the time, I think, that my parents' divorce was for the best - as a child, at least it stopped all the hideous arguments. It was still extremely painful. Staying together for the sake of the children isn't necessarily a great idea, and I'm not suggesting anyone should, but as adults we have to acknowledge that children suffer the results of our decisions, even if we know those decisions are ultimately right.
If you were to ask a good psychologist, such as Tanya Byron, I bet they would say we do need to acknowledge children's pain, not treat them as bad or naughty for expressing that pain.
None of that means you just shrug your shoulders and accept refusal to see the other parent, of course. It means working through the problem with kindness and humanity.
you're not their real parent so you don't know what you're talking about
That is a clear indication from your partner that she does not welcome or need your input regarding her DCs.
Therefore, your options are limited.
You could detach, leave her to parent her DCs alone with no input at all, which may well lead to conflict if she currently expects/relies on you to support her with some practical aspects - do you drive the DCs places? Cook for them? Clear up after them? Detaching means you only do those things if you want to, not because it is expected. Emotionally, you will be better off if you no longer care about the welfare of your DSD's - it is emotionally draining to continually worry about something you have absolutely no influence over.
The alternative is to assess whether this is the type of relationship you actually want. Many people would struggle to accept your DPs lack of respect for you when she dismisses your opinion in that way. Does she respect you in relation to other aspects of your life together, or do you often defer to her because she knows best? Parenting her DCs is her responsibility , but you had an equal partnership then she would actively seek your views and opinions before making decisions. She is doing the exact opposite - dismissing you as irrelevant in that part of her life.
Mercibucket - yep, the behaviour is the same with all things she wants/doesn't want; I'll look at that. If there's a special website etc I need please let me know. Thanks
Smudging - sorry, I answered a bit of your question in my last post. The kids say they like her, and every now and then we'll be talking about whatever and they'll interrupt with "xxx says this about that" which is all very positive.
NotaDisneyMum - sage words. She loves school (!) so is only off when she is genuinely ill. Is DP Dear Partner? If so then I agree that DP's views on this differ to mine in that I would do all I could to get DSD1 to go. We make sure that DSD2 comes back laden with fun stories of all the things she got up to with their dad.
Sadly I get the marching orders whenever I dig my heels in on this along with "you're not their real parent so you don't know what you're talking about" so I have some work to do myself there.
I think that their dad's OH has said a few disparaging things about my OH and their dad isn't beyond it - this being the case that would really turn the girls off their dad's OH.
What did you do if/when your DD refused to do the chores?
No experience of step-families, but lots of experience of strong willed children!
Part of this sounds like bad behaviour with an emotional effect but really just bad behaviour, and maybe you as a family would benefit from some ideas from a programme like triple p? They're really good. Eg you gave up on naughty step cos she wouldn't come off it, but that's fine, she can sit on it all day should she choose to, once the 'punishment' part is over.

Rocking out in your car while you're driving? You're not alone according to a new survey out this week.
Singing out loud is the number one activity while driving according to a survey by DMEautomotive. 56% of drivers belt out a tune while heading down the road though there is no data to support how many of those drum on the steering wheel at red lights while singing.
The survey was released in support of National Collision Awareness month, and while singing isn't necessarily considered distracting while driving, the rest of the top five activities sure are.
Having a phone conversation comes in at number two with half of people surveyed doing it, followed by eating, also at 50%. Text messaging rounds out the top five with both reading a text message at 26%, and sending a text message at 20%.
"It's not surprising that singing out loud tops our list, but it's deeply disturbing to see how much multiscreen, multi-tasking is going on in cars: people texting, reading emails and the paper, and watching TV," said Dr. Mary Sheridan, Manager of Research and Analytics at DMEa. "And how a smaller, but considerable, percentage (5-7%) are treating their cars as an extension of their home/bathroom by shaving, brushing or flossing their teeth, putting on makeup or deodorant and changing their clothes while driving."
While we here at WZLX.com encourage you to always keep your eyes on the road, we wonder… What song do you like to rock out to the most while driving? Let us know in the comments section below.
