SOCCER REPORT; A Versatile Rookie Is the Biggest Bargain
By JACK BELL
Published: October 18, 2006
Jonathan Bornstein was the biggest bargain in Major League Soccer this season.
Bornstein, the versatile rookie who plays for Chivas USA and Coach Bob Bradley, led all outfield players with 2,878 minutes played while earning the league minimum salary of $28,000. That roughly translates to $10 for each Bornstein played, a deal in any league in the world.
''I've been living comfortably,'' Bornstein said in a telephone interview. ''I do a little personal training on the side.''
Bornstein, the son of an American father and a Mexican mother who was drafted by Chivas from U.C.L.A., is likely to be the league's rookie of the year.
He has played as a defender, a midfielder and a striker as Chivas, which won only four games in its inaugural season, won 10 games and tied 13 to advance to the playoffs, where it will play Houston in the first round.
''I really didn't expect to get this much playing time coming in to my first year as a professional,'' said Bornstein, who had six goals and four assists. ''I thought that maybe I would get a break at midseason. It was really surprising that I got a chance to come in and make an impact right away.''
Among Bornstein's teammates at U.C.L.A. was defender Marvell Wynne, the No. 1 draft pick over all of the New York Red Bulls, and midfielder Benny Feilhaber, who last weekend made his first-team debut for Hamburg of the German Bundesliga. Bornstein lasted until the fourth round before he was plucked by Bradley.
''Bob gave me the opportunity to start at left back, a position I had never played,'' Bornstein said, referring to Bradley. ''The fact that I was able to adapt quickly was a huge, huge step for me.''
Bornstein noted that he played different positions in college and said: ''I've always been that kind of player. Just move me around.''
ENGLAND -- It is likely that the third-string goalkeeper Henrique Hilario will be in goal today when Chelsea plays visiting Barcelona in a European Champions League match. Petr Cech, 24, the club's top keeper, could be unavailable for up to a year. He is beginning his recuperation from surgery to repair the depressed skull fracture he sustained when he was kneed in the head by Reading's Steve Hunt 16 seconds into last Saturday's game.
Yesterday in London, Cech's father, Vaclav, said his son was likely to miss the next season. ''At first, I didn't realize how bad it was,'' he told The Times of London. ''When I heard the diagnosis, my knees trembled.''
As Cech was collecting a ball to the right on the goal, Hunt swooped in and appeared to bend his knee, which struck Cech's head. Hunt has maintained that the incident was an accident. Later in the game, Carlo Cudicini, Cech's replacement, was carried off the field after a hard collision with Ibrahima Sonko. Because Chelsea had already made its three substitutions, defender John Terry finished the game in goal.
''A broken leg is one thing and a broken arm is another, but an injury to your head is a different matter,'' Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho told Agence France-Presse.
''It was unbelievable. The goalkeeper gets the ball and he slides and then Stephen Hunt cannot go for the ball so he goes with his knee onto his face.''
WOMEN'S WORLD CUP -- Canada's team, which is preparing for next month's regional qualifying tournament for the 2007 Women's World Cup in China, is in turmoil after three top players were dropped from the team.
The captain, Charmaine Hooper, Sharolta Nonen and Christine Latham were suspended by the Canadian Soccer Association because they did not play in two exhibition games last summer against China.
Hooper, who is considering a lawsuit, told The Canadian Press that the players were being punished because they refused to commit to being part of a residency program next summer in Vancouver, British Columbia. Under the residency plan, the three, who play in the United States, would also have to play next year for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
''It was strongly suggested you move to Vancouver,'' Hooper, who plays for the New Jersey Wildcats, told The Canadian Press.
Canadian officials, including Evan Pellerud, the national team coach, and Kevan Pipe, the chief operating officer of the Canadian Soccer Association, said the players would have to be in Vancouver only for the national team's training camp.
Canada is tied for No. 10 with Italy in FIFA's world rankings. Hooper has scored 71 goals in 131 international appearances.
The 2006 Concacaf Women's Gold Cup, to be played in Miami and Carson, Calif., will serve as the qualifying tournament for the Women's World Cup.
Canada and the United States were given byes to the semifinals; the winner of the Mexico-Trinidad and Tobago match will play the United States, and the winner of Jamaica-Panama will play Canada on Nov. 22 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The Gold Cup winner and runner-up will qualify for China, and the third-place finisher will play Japan in a home-and-home playoff for another berth.
NOTES -- The Americans Kristine Lilly and Abby Wambach are among 20 women vying to be named FIFA's women's player of the year on Dec. 18 in Zurich.
There is an interview with New England's Clint Dempsey, who is expected to leave M.L.S. for a European club in January, at fifa.com.

Fancy watches, Springsteen tickets and jail time — what more could you want? Well, today two men have been charged in the KPMG insider trading case. Federal authorities in Los Angeles have filed criminal and civil insider-trading charges against former partner of KPMG, Scott London, and his "golfing buddy" Bryan Shaw. Scott London, 50, was fired last week after 29 years of service from accounting giant KPMG after the company learned that London had been trading nonpublic information about some of their largest clients. Two of the clients were Herbalife (HLF) and Skechers USA (SKX). London was said to have been trading this information to a good friend whose jewelry store was hit hard by the economic crisis in California.
KPMG, one of the Big Four accounting firms in America, immediately fired London and withdrew its services from Herbalife and Skechers upon hearing of the insider trading investigation. Along with its services, the company opted to withdraw its auditor reports dating back to 2010 for both companies.
While Bryan Shaw has not been charged with criminal actions by the FBI, both men have been charged in civil suits by the SEC. London has been charged with conspiracy to commit criminal securities fraud for giving illegal information to Shaw.
Over the past two years, London has been giving Shaw information and in return Shaw has been giving London gifts such as a $12,000 watch and pricey tickets to a Bruce Springsteen concert.
Federal authorities initiated an investigation after the brokerage firm Fidelity raised red flags about suspicious activity in Shaw's account. Following this, investigators confronted Shaw with evidence of the apparent insider trading. At this point Shaw was forced to turn against his (now former) friend. Shaw became a government informant and recorded several conversations between London and himself.
The last straw occurred when London arranged a meet with Shaw to discuss happenings at Herbalife. London mentioned rumors of Herbalife going private and told Shaw that if this were to happen "that is going to be where you make a ton of money."
FBI agents secretly took pictures of this meeting and Shaw handing London a bag containing $5,000 for the information. The agents arrested the former KPMG partner two weeks later in his Agoura Hills, Calif., home.
In total London gave Shaw nonpublic information on five different West Coast companies that KPMG worked with. This information led to Shaw making $1.27 million dollars.
In a press statement released on Tuesday, Scott London said, "I regret my actions in leaking nonpublic data to a third party. What I have done was wrong and against everything that I had believed in."
And now Herbalife gets to clean up another controversy surrounding its name.
Herbalife is constantly in the middle of an argument amongst the Gurus. To view the complete list of gurus with a stake in HLF, look at Herbalife's Guru Trades page.

8 Cancer Lessons: What We Wish We'd Known
Last updated: Dec 10, 2008
A few weeks ago, New York Times reporter Dana Jennings posted a very moving blog titled Ten Lessons of Prostate Cancer.
It touched a nerve for me -- and many of us in Cancer World -- because we all have a desperate desire to connect with others living with cancer in their lives and discover the tidbits of knowledge that only experience can teach. At Caring.com, we have a weekly article called What I Wish I'd Known, in which well-known people share the lessons they learned in caring for their parents or other family members.
Below, in my own personal order of importance, are a few of Dana Jennings' "10 Lessons," augmented with others from the more than 260 people who commented on his blog, and still more from community members at Caring.com, who've taken the time to share their wisdom in group postings and answers to others' questions. Feel free to add to this list.
8 Lessons of caring for someone with cancer
- Doctors forget to share the gory details. Boy, don't we know it. The list of what we don't know when we walk out of medical appointments sometimes seems longer than the list of what we do know. Dana writes that after prostate surgery, his testicles swelled up and turned bright red, something his doctors failed to mention. Caring.com members report that doctors have failed to mention such things as the need for drains -- and drain emptying -- following surgery, and the possibility of numerous side effects from chemo, everything from peeling, painful hands and feet to a constant bad taste in the mouth. Worst of all, says oncologist Hope Rugo in her column, doctors are hesitant to share information on what families can expect as cancer progresses. This leaves the family in a constant state of reactivity, when accurate information could have allowed them to prepare for what was to come. Lesson: Don't be nervous about asking the doctors, "How does this type of cancer typically progress?" and "What can we expect a few months from now?"
- Insurance can cause more stress than cancer. Half the comments on Dana's blog were reports of insurers failing to pay -- and Caring.com hears plenty of those horror stories, too. Canadian patients comment that their state-run system leaves them free to focus on what matters -- getting better.
- Not all blood and chemo technicians are created equal. Dana divides them into the gliders and the pokers. My friends and I called one particularly clumsy chemo nurse "sadistic Sadie," though, of course, never when she could hear. It's definitely acceptable, when you walk into a chemo center or lab, to request a particular tech you know to be skilled and gentle.
- Nurses know, and anticipate, what you need. When a dear friend was in the hospital recovering from a mastectomy, it was the nurses who noticed that she couldn't open the lemonade we'd brought her and observed that her dosage of pain meds appeared to be too low. And when they shoo all of you out of the room, it may be because they realize the patient desperately needs sleep but is too polite to say so.
- Cancer is different in younger patients than in older ones. Early stage breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in women under 40. For men, a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) reading that's "low" for a 70-year-old may not be for a man in his early 40s. PSA charts don't necessarily apply to younger men. Lesson: Don't settle for generic information, but find out what you need to know for the particular situation.
- Hospice is not just for the dying. I can't tell you how many cancer patients and their families say they wish they'd known to call hospice sooner. When my dad was ill with esophageal cancer, it was the hospice nurses, not his doctors, who suggested morphine patches when it was too hard for him to swallow pills. So, for the record: You can call hospice anytime a cancer is no longer considered "curable." You don't have to stop chemo to call in hospice; the chemo just needs to be designated palliative rather than curative. You can initiate hospice when there's reason to believe a patient might have six months or less to live, but you can also renew hospice if the person is lucky enough to have more time -- or cancel hospice if there's a miracle and it's no longer needed. And the minute you call hospice, you initiate a much higher level of personal care, often at little or no additional expense. In other words, many of your reasons for not calling hospice should be set aside.
- Eat your broccoli -- and kale and other greens. Research shows that vegetarians and others who eat a diet high in cruciferous vegetables and greens have lower rates of cancer. Conversely, a diet high in fat, particularly fat from red meat, has been associated with cancer, particularly colon cancer. This is truly worth paying attention to.
- Cancer can be a punch line. Dana describes the ways the line "I've got cancer" helped get him out of walking the dog and enabled him to commandeer the TV. It's also, I've found, a great way to help employers and other authority figures reorient priorities, and a great way for all of us to put things in perspective.

By Viv
Peter is slowly imploding and no one seems to notice but Claire.
She sees it so clearly it almost blinds her, wonders how anyone else can miss his slow disintegration. Maybe it's because there's no fuss or fireworks, he doesn't drink to drown his sorrows and there's no complaint but don't they get it?
This is Peter and this is just the way he is; he's suffering in wretched silence because he's used to being ignored, brushed aside until someone's grand scheme goes awry and they need him to save the day.
Claire sees it all so clearly and yet she feels powerless to stop it.
She watched as The Company's New York facility goes up in flames, her and her dad and Angela. Every lick and bellow of flame taunts her, reminds her that she's lost Meredith, a second mother she had only just started to know. She knows it ought to be a comfort that when it counted, Meredith had been willing to sacrifice herself rather than put Claire's life in danger.
But it's scant comfort and she doesn't want it. To be comforted cheapens her biological mother's death; to feel anything at all, unbearable. All she'd wanted to do was to throw herself into the flames and dare it to consume her, prove once and for all how indestructible yet vulnerable she really is.
Of course she hadn't, not because she's far too sensible to put herself in danger after Meredith had just sacrificed herself but because her father disallows it and she knew that when it comes to Claire's safety, there was no arguing with logic.
Still, she'd been angry and hurt and refused to be consoled. It'd blinded her to everything, so much so that she didn't know when or how they return to Angela's house but they did, somehow.
She's only roused from that primordial anger by the sight of Peter standing motionless in the centre of the lobby like he has no idea why he exists anymore.
There's a flurry and he's in Angela's arms in an instant. Claire's thoughts grudgingly thaws as she watches the silent consolation of mother and son until her dad ushers her into the next room. No words necessary because they understand.
Claire has just lost a mother but she senses that Peter's lost a great deal too.
* * * * *
If she had been tired, the gentle murmuring from the study would almost certainly have lulled her to sleep.
But she's not and so it's only mildly annoying listening to a conversation taking place that's so blatantly not for her ears. No doubt her dad and Angela are discussing what Peter was able to tell them about what happened at Pinehearst; Claire had only caught bits and pieces and if she had been in a better frame of mind she might have cared.
As it is, she has no desire to know what they're saying, not about Pinehearst or Arthur, not any of it. Claire doesn't care whether the world's in danger or not or whether it needs saving, again, because she's got more immediate things to worry about.
She glances at the stairs, bites her lip, wonders for the millionth time whether she should go up to see how Peter's doing. Even without specifics, she guesses a lot had happened to Peter after leaving for Haiti and a big part of her burns to know what and why and when.
She steals a glance at the study door, still resolutely closed, makes the decision she should have made an hour ago.
She takes the steps two at a time, only stops to gather her thoughts before knocking hesitantly on the door to Peter's old room. There's no response so she goes in anyway because even if he had wanted her to go away she wouldn't have gone.
Claire maybe half expects it, but seeing him curled into a ball in the darkest corner of the room still takes her aback.
She watches him for a few moments; panic rising as he neither reacts nor acknowledges her presence. Slowly she makes his way to his side, remembers briefly the cuts and bruises that had dotted his skin only an hour ago but now there's nothing left of his injuries but the haunted look in his eyes.
The pieces start coming together in her mind. He'd somehow got his powers back and used her ability to heal; she gets the biggest sense of déjà vu. She brushes it aside to think about later because now isn't the time.
He murmurs something but she doesn't catch it. She thinks about asking him again but knows instinctively she needs to wait. The only concession she makes to her wishes is to allow her hand to creep into his.
She's careful to not react when his fingers curl around hers, gently at first but then it starts to shake and his grip tightens until it would have hurt a normal girl with no abilities so it's lucky for both of them that she doesn't feel pain anymore.
"Peter?" She wants to deluge him with questions but knows better than to push. Senses he'll tell her in his own time so she waits; watches and listens to the silence stretching like a bubble around them.
She realises that the shaking has extended to swallow him whole and so she does the only thing she can, throws herself around him like a shield and hopes he can feel she's there.
It only takes a moment for him to break and shatter into a thousand million pieces, collapsing into her arms but Claire isn't scared. He's her friend and hero and his heartbreak only galvanises her. She listens patiently as the shaking becomes trembling and then descends into outright sobbing, soft and silent but she can feel how damp her hands are, hands that cradle him as he rocks in grief.
She makes comforting sounds, knows there isn't much she can say without knowing what happened and doubts whether she would've had the right words anyway even knowing all the facts.
His silent breakdown subsides; a final painful shudder and he's once more perfectly still, pale and handsome like a Greek statue.
It's only then she dares to speak again. "I'm here for you."
His voice is hoarse when he finally speaks. "Thanks Claire. For everything." She hears him sigh faintly, before hauling himself into a sitting position. She ignores his red rimmed eyes and the sorrow that languishes in them, the eyes of a hero who's suffered more to save the world than anyone knows.
They sit in companionable silence for a while. She knows he'll let her in when he's ready.
"I killed my dad, Claire. I … I pulled the trigger. The bullet would've hit him if Sylar hadn't intervened. I killed him."
"Sylar?" She takes a moment to digest it, puts the fractured pieces of Sylar's taunts at the facility together. Swallows down bile and panic because this isn't the time for it. "You had to. Even Angela said so."
"I know." He's still holding onto her hand for dear life. "He was my father. He would've killed me and destroyed the world. I know. But … "
"But you loved him anyway. And now he's gone."
She dares to look into his eyes, his soul. Drinks in their anguish because that's the least she can do for him. "You loved him, even after everything he did. Because he's your dad. He held you in his arms when you were a baby. Who knows, maybe he might've changed a nappy or two. And I think he must've loved you, in between all the crazy."
"I was named after his grandfather. Dad used to tell me about him. He was from Sicily, wanted to see the new world. Land of the free, where you could become anything you wanted to be. He used to say that, I had his spirit. Free and reckless. I'd always … I'd always thought it was a compliment. In his own way."
She blinks back tears. "It was."
He looks at her, expression inscrutable. "Maybe." Tries to smile, but fails. "I was so angry with him when I pulled the trigger. I can't help but think – if I'd been calmer, more in control maybe it would've been better, but – I wasn't. I was so angry Claire and I –"
"You pulled it because it was the only way to save the world." Her conviction surprises her. "It doesn't make you any less of a person and … it doesn't mean you loved him any less. I know you, Peter. You're a kind, caring person. You could never be a truly bad person."
"How do you know?"
She dares to crack a smile, recalls the last time she said it to him. "Because you're totally my hero. And there's no way my hero's a villain."
This time he returns the smile and she kisses him impulsively, a soft brushing of lips. It's meant innocently but the electricity that passes between them makes her colour, but he's enough of a gentleman to brush the potential awkwardness off.
He smiles that crooked smile she adores, reaches out to tuck a stray hair behind her ears. Gently kisses her forehead and rests maybe for just a moment too long in her hair, breath ticking her neck.
"Thanks, Claire. For everything."
She brushes his sincerity off, momentarily embarrassed. "You should get some rest. You look terrible."
"Oh I do, do I? A moment ago I was your hero."
"A red and splotchy hero, yeah."
She delights in seeing the colour come back onto his face. "Then I should get some rest then."
"Yeah, you should." She can't exactly express the relief that only now floods through her, seeing Peter's burden slowly lifting before her eyes.
He gets up with some effort, stretching cramped limbs before throwing himself boyishly onto the bed. Is shaking his shoes off when she yanks them off for him.
He looks up at her in surprise.
"What, you think I'm going to let my splotchy old uncle alone to angst after all the effort I've put in? Shove over."
"Hey, I'm not that old." Despite his protest he shifts, allowing her to snuggle against him.
Claire buries herself into his chest, revels in the feel of his arms around her and closes her eyes. She sees Meredith yelling to her in the last moments of her life, an upside down Sylar as he cuts open her head; sees the bullet meant for her dad from Elle's pistol zooming towards her. Shudders at the collective horror of those memories but thinks she'll be able to face them again tomorrow.
Because tomorrow she'll be able to tell Peter everything, pour her heart out to him like she'd done once before. And he'll be there for her because he's her hero and he's shown her how much a hero could bear to save the world, and then, everything will be all right.

The Maltese is a spectacular sight in the dog show ring, as it seems to float around the perimeter on its flowing white coat. This coat is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the breed. The Maltese originated in the Mediterranean Sea area, as one of a number of "bichon" breeds. The breed has a history that spans 28 centuries.
General Breed Type
The Maltese is a graceful, toy-sized spaniel with a history that spans 28 centuries. The breed, which competes in the toy group in the American Kennel Club and in the companion group in the United Kennel Club, has a small and compact body, framed by a long and silky white coat. The Maltese's triangular ears drop to the side of her skull and are generously trimmed with long, white fur. The AKC requires that she should weigh less than 7 pounds, if she is to compete in the conformation show ring, while the UKC allows her to compete is she weighs no more than 8 pounds. The Maltese's long tail is carried over her back.
Coat and Color
The long, silky coat of the Maltese lacks an undercoat. Left untrimmed, a well-kept Maltese coat will grow to touch the ground. According to both the AKC and the UKC standards, pure white is the only acceptable coat color for a Maltese. Both registries permit lemon (yellow) or tan (orange) in limited amounts, but markings of any color or size are not favored. The UKC Maltese breed standard states that an ivory tinge to the coat is permissible but that it must be considered an imperfection.

DEL MAR -- Every weekday at this year's San Diego County Fair, hundreds of schoolchildren arrive to visit farm animal exhibits and The Farm, a kid-friendly zone of farm crops and exhibits of bugs, butterflies and worms.
Click here for more fair coverage
"We're from San Diego. We never see this," said Megan Alexopulos, a substitute teacher at Jackson Elementary School, after herding 22 children past farm animal pens at the AgriFair building Monday.
They are among 11,500 children in grades K-6 at year-round public schools in San Diego County who are visiting the Del Mar Fairgrounds this summer as part of the fair's annual Plant-Grow-Eat program.
Thus far, high gas prices and a sour economy were having no measurable impact on attendance at the fair, which runs through July 6.
Through Sunday, attendance totaled 769,278 -- higher than the 2007 count of 754,250 for the same number of days, fair spokeswoman Kina Paegert said.
"We're doing great," Paegert said, noting that the $12 cost of an adult fair ticket is well below that of area theme parks and other attractions.
Fairgoers can save additional money by using free offsite park-and-ride locations, she said, adding that the fair also allows visitors to bring sealed bottles of water and packed lunches.
Admission is free Tuesday for children ages 12 and under.
Every weekday, the price of admission for children in the Plant-Grow-Eat program is the vegetables they grow -- or try to grow -- from seeds starting weeks or months before the start of the fair.
"Some of the kids' radishes didn't grow, and they showed up with their little pots of dirt, but they're excited," said Katie Phillips, who oversees the fairgrounds-funded program. "Kids learn hands-on how food gets from the farm to the table."
Out-of-state children were blending right in with Monday's school tours.
"I think it's really cool that you can throw real things," said Ashley Breshears, 11, of Dallas after joining other children tossing squashes at plastic bowling pins to win blue ribbons on one AgriFair stage.
"It's great," said Jayson Campbell, 10, of Wickenburg, Ariz., who joined other children disappearing into a maze of tall rows of corn at The Farm.
Dan Kuhn of Ramona, who is "Dan the Worm Guy" at The Farm, was scooping up handfuls of composting materials to reveal hundreds of worms inside recycling rotting food.
"About 50 percent of the school classes that come through here either know about or know something about composting," Kuhn said.
"A few years ago, that might have been 10 percent. That's tremendous," he said. "It's kids knowing more about the benefits of recycling and the whole 'going green' thing."
Jordan Peterson, 9, of Vista said he already composts for his home garden.
"I put the scraps from food in a special spot for dirt, and I move it around with shovels," he said. "It's fun."

Government leaders face fines if sunshine law isn't followed
Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:56:12 GMT —
Changes to the so-called "Sunshine Law" that were approved Tuesday in the House Judiciary Committee make government actions in meetings more transparent.
The change mandates that all government officials vote on issues in public as opposed to in executive sessions where media cameras and the public are not allowed.
The bill goes to the House next for approval.
Fines for voting in executive session have gone up to $1,000 and $2,500 for repeat offenses--all in an effort to keep leaders accountable for their actions.

text: We are heading to Disney in May for our Wedding anniversary during the free dining period. I was thinking about upgrading to deluxe but don't know what to do. Dh and I would love to try a few ofthe 2TS meals but don't know how restaurants respond to parents arriving with young kids. Our girls are well behave but are 4 yo and there's 3 of them to top it off. How old were your kids when you did DXDDP? Did you find people to be annoyed by the fact you had young kids. Wewere thinking of 1 caracter and 1 signature restaurant a day. It would be well worth the $480 extra considerating that we get free mugs, more snacks and nice meals for kids and parents but I don't want to feel out of place. Also how is the kids menu at the signature restaurants? My girls got sick and tired of the same pizza, mac& cheese options every where. Your feed back would be really appreciated. Thankx

Subject: Batavia NY
MESSAGE-ID: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
From: Yeaks Yeaks <firstname.lastname@example.com>
My father was a free mason and I wonder about a monument that I saw
in a cemetary in Batavia NY.
This monument said that (I don't remember the name)was killed by
masons because he gave the secrets of the society to non masons.
I have been wondering about this--it is hard to believe but the very
large monument does exist and I saw it.
Can you shed any light on this.
Thanks for your time

In-Reply-To: Your message of "Mon, 04 Dec 2000 02:40:34 EST."
Yes, the monument really, exists, and the guy supposed to be buried
there is named William Morgan.
Did the Masons really do him in? Probably not.
Is that his body in that grave? Almost certainly not.
"The Morgan Affair" is a great story. It started as a small town
argument in the 1820s, and became a huge national scandal and even a
political affair. A New York politician fanned the flames of the
"Anti-Masonry" movement, and as a political party, they even ran a
candidate for President.

VIDEO: $499 Touch Table EES
ToyQuest's 21-inch Touch Table EES is an educational system that features games, a Google Earth-style globe, DVD player, speakers, and AV/USB/SD inputs. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
You can rotate the whole display for use while sitting -- there's even a built-in dock for the Wii if that's your style. The table doesn't connect to the internet at all and we're not positive the included software we saw is necessarily $499 worth of fun, but you should be able to check one out this fall at your big box retailer of choice[via Engadget]

Penn State coach Joe Paterno stated on his weekly radio show that the two suspended defensive linemen, Maurice Evans and Abe Koroma, will "probably play" Saturday when the Nittany Lions host Illinois at 8:00 at Beaver Stadium.
Paterno responded to a caller's question about the two by saying, "The two kids you mentioned (Evans and Koroma) both will play. I've kept them out of three games. Judicial affairs people have indicated that there isn't anything that they're going to do to say they can't play. So, they probably will play. So I think we're alright there, and obviously the two kids we held out are good football players and they've played a lot of football last year."

Cease and desist from Anonymous to Westboro Baptist Church
I'm not how sure how legitimate this is, but it looks like Anonymous is going to target Westboro Baptist Church if they don't stop their hate campaigns.
I'm torn on this issue. I stand with Westboro in that they deserve their right to Free Speech as much as anyone else. But they are clearly evil, and a force for bigotry and nearly everything I stand against.
Is cheering on Anonymous hypocritical? I haven't made my mind up, so let's talk about it.
Views: 122
But the problem is, everyone agrees that when say the Joker kills a bunch of people for fun, he's a criminal. Batman is a vigilante for bringing him in, but he is bringing in a known criminal.
WBC is not a criminal organization. They are just a vile, evil one. If you can commit vigilante actions against a law-abiding group, then anyone can be attacked for anything as near as I can tell it, for someone will always have a different moral system from you or I, and they could see us as evil.
I must say I am torn. I believe that we must uphold the Constitution as sacrosanct, although perhaps not an appropriate word fo an atheist to use. But the first amendment must be upheld regardless of the content. But, I find every word that Fred Phelps and friends spew to be morally repugnant.
On the other hand the first amendment addresses what congress can and cannot do in respect to free speech and religious freedom...so as long as they aren't involved we might be able to get some smug satisfaction out of their being targeted by Anonymous.
I would love the police to try and capture an unknown number of unknown individuals who only do illegal DDoS attacks on the internet.
In fact, the majority of anonymous probably doesn't engage in the hacking. It's a leaderless organization in which each individual has their own goals.
It's quite impossible to find an unknown number of unknown individuals who are better at hiding their identity than criminals that took years to capture when they worked alone and had much more easier to track crimes such as murder, and THEN find the hackers among said unknown people and then provide the evidence to persecute the hackers among them.
I'm skeptical of the U.S' law enforcement to carry out such a task.
So long as the internet exists and people can remain anonymous, it won't stop. Anonymous doesn't just exist in the U.S. It's anyone who wishes to protest while remaining unknown.
You seem to be missing a key point of what I said. People CAN'T remain anonymous. Every post you make to this board has fingerprints all over it, from the packets used to send the information between your computer and the website.
I'm reminded of an episode of Non-Prophets Radio where some idiot hacked their website to take down their stream during the show or take down their website or something. Matt traced it back to the person who did it and got them dropped by their ISP. He could have probably had legal charges brought, too, but I don't think he did that.
The hackers who are threatening the WBC are better than the idiot who hacked Non-Prophets radio, I imagine, but when they're fucking with someone who has more resources and more skilled security people available, it's possible to catch them, too. It's just a matter of what the government decides to spend their resources doing.
And you seem to be missing my point that they are spread globally, making it extremely unlikely to catch all of them, because the ones outside the U.S are outside of the U.S Law enforcements jurisdiction. Other nations might not have the security.
As I said in my previous reply, if it was ANY other group that isn't at the level of hate the WBC has, and the level of grief they throw onto people who don't deserve it, I would totally agree with you. But it makes me cringe allowing them to continue on.
I could argue that making them unable to protest the funerals (since it is illegal for them to come within 300 to 500 yards within it) the government is taking away their right to protest (although I doubt it) but I won't and don't because they don't contribute to anything. And even if they do, the harm they do is more.
Physical Harm is not the only harm that matters by the way. The harm psychological trauma can do to a person, sometimes exceeds what physical harm can do to them.

Hemoxide Translates the 1998 Nobel Prize-Winning Research
Demonstrated to relief excruciating Sickle Cell Anemia pain and increase blood circulation.
Hemoxide is a capsule medical food therapy that can be taken by mouth with water only. Hemoxide works naturally with the body to produce an enhanced blood flow signaler called nitric oxide (NO).
NO signals blood vessels to open, relax, and become more slippery, which is just what sickle cells need to move through the bloodstream, lowering blood pressure and pain, and increasing oxygen levels throughout the body.
Science has recently discovered that NO actually engages the hemoglobin in sickle cells to "unsickle", which is very exciting and takes the benefit of Hemoxide to a higher level.
Hemoxide not only helps ease the complications of sickle cell, but also provides many vitamins, minerals, and other key elements that patients lack. Many consider it a "super food" in a capsule. Its benefits are thus, far beyond sickle cell.
Health professionals have recommended hemoxide for High Blood Pressure, High Cholestorol, Post Surgery Healing, Neuropathy Pain, Lyme Disease and General Well Being.

Her camera speaks best for her
Dubai: Denis Ravizza, art director and associate dean at ESMOD Dubai, an offshoot of the acclaimed French fashion institute, cannot hide his admiration for a young Emirati selected to showcase her photography work as part of an event organised by the fashion university.
"Fatma Abdullah's photography work mirrors an extraordinary sense of commercial fashion," says Ravizza.
ESMOD is constantly endeavouring to spot new talent and prides itself in instilling the desired confidence in students of fashion to pursue their philosophy of art.
"As a fashion university, we have initiated a programme that adopts promising talents and sets them on the road to fame, providing them all the necessary facilities and getting their work recognised," Ravizza said.
Fatma, too, is immensely happy to have caught the eye of ESMOD. Speaking to Gulf News, she said: "Photography is always seen as an integral part of fashion and their connection is inseparable."
With Fatma's work getting noticed at what is just her first solo exhibition, Ravizza says he is convinced she has a promising professional career ahead of her. "If Fatma stays focused, then I expect her photography skills to be in great demand within a very short period of time," he says.
"Her lens documents daily life from a unique fashion perspective; for example, one of her photos frames a model amid the dusty setting of a construction site - that photo is a tangible example of reality and such type of commercial photography is so much in demand and has plenty of opportunity, especially in Dubai."
Fatma obtained a diploma in Communication Art from Higher Colleges of Technology in 2001 and, in 2003, she established her own photography company, Lady Design. She had always been fascinated by the camera as a creative tool since her early childhood. "I've always felt my my camera can speak on my behalf - it interprets my feelings effortlessly and delivers my messages accurately."
Fatma has showcased 18 fashion photos, all of which feature female subjects.
She says it has always been her endeavour to accentuate the feelings of her subjects. "[The] Woman is always the centre of my attention, her tears, her weakness, her incomplete joy and her unexplainable emotions.
"I try to capture the reason that lies beneath women's reactions, for instance 'School Revolution' is a series of three photos that reflects changing moods. My project details the three famous types of students - a photo shows the naughty girl student who wears a lot of cosmetics and a party gown and rebels against being reduced to someone with an innocent pony tail!
"The second photo shows the quiet unassuming student, almost helpless, while the final picture shows someone who doesn't interfere in others' affairs and minds her own business only."
The School Revolution frames go back in time to when Fatma herself was a student. "I saw all the stereotypes of students when I was at school, so I went back to my school to register the authenticity of my project. However, the subjects typify the actions of all students at schools without exception."
Fatma believes Dubai International Airport would provide a perfect canvas for a day's work. "I look forward to the opportunity of portraying the great miracle of Dubai through its airport. I'll not spare any effort to pursue my dream."
Fatma admires the photography sense of Mika Ninagawa of Japan and Herve Haddad of France. She looks forward to the day she will be able to exhibit her work abroad. As for now, her exhibition is due to open at Khan Murjan at the Wafi Mall in Dubai.- Fatma's collection All Fatma's photography collection is available on her company Lady Design's web site. www.Lady-Design.com

A day after Vladimir Putin won the Russian presidency with what officials called an "overwhelming number of votes," thousands protested the victory in Moscow's Pushkin Square.
The demonstration was fueled by reports of ballot fraud during Sunday's presidential election, including multiple voting, abuses of absentee ballots and obstruction of election observers. Golos, a monitoring group, said it had received 3,000 complaints of voter irregularities.

View Analyst Ratings for Wabash National Corporation. What are analysts saying about Wabash National Corporation stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wabash National Corporation stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Wabash National Corporation is one of the leading manufacturers of semi trailers in North America. Established in 1985, the company specializes in the design and production of dry freight vans, refrigerated vans, flatbed trailers, drop deck trailers, and intermodal equipment. Its innovative core products are sold under the DuraPlate, ArcticLite, and Eagle brand names. The company operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: Transcraft Corporation, a manufacturer of flatbed and drop deck trailers; and Wabash National Trailer Centers, a retail distributor of new and used trailers and aftermarket parts throughout the U.S. and Canada. " (8/15/2017) 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "It certainly feels different this time. Although the past three downturns saw 50%-plus declines in trailer demand and negative net income at the troughs for Wabash, we believe this cycle could buck the trend. This assumption is based on pentup demand in the trailer market and Wabash working to reduce costs and diversify the company. However, while the shares have recently moved materially higher, likely boosted by the 22% of its outstanding float shorted, we believe declining earnings will constrain further upside over the next one to two years." (2/6/2017) 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "In accordance with those increases in industry estimates, we are increasing our 2017 and 2018 EPS estimates for Wabash National from $1.15 and $1.00 to $1.40 and $1.35 and raising our rating from Sell to Hold. Our target price is $17 (or 12.5x our 2018 EPS estimate of $1.35). Our prior Sell thesis had been based on the theory that semi-trailer demand would more quickly resemble Class 8 tractor demand, which had been on a sharp downward trajectory throughout 2016, as Class 8 orders declined 42% y/y last year. Historically, tractor demand and trailer demand have been more highly correlated than they have been in the past year, which we attribute to an aged semi-trailer demographic that has been more conducive to replacement as well as operational factors, such as fleets using higher trailer-to-tractor ratios to deal with hours-of-service regulations." (1/26/2017) Who are some of Wabash National Corporation's key competitors?

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 4 Hold Ratings, 2 Buy

National Down Syndrome Society8 E 41st Street, 8th FloorNew York New York 10017800-221-4602[email protected]
The US Congress might be in recess until the week of September 10th, but NDSS, our advocates from the Down syndrome community, and other national disability organizations are not. We are working hard to pass the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE) of 2011 (S. 1872/H.R. 3423) this Congress. The ABLE Act has gained the support of 194 US Representatives and 29 US Senators.
The ABLE Act was introduced in November of 2011 by a bipartisan, bicameral set of Congressional champions, including Senator Robert Casey, Jr., (D-PA), Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), Congressman Ander Crenshaw (R-FL), Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). The ABLE Act, when enacted into law, will give people with Down syndrome and their families the ability to save for the future just like every other American family.
Currently, barriers to employment, independent living, and ultimately, economic self-sufficiency, exist because individuals with Down syndrome and other disabilities must rely on services like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provide, however, to qualify for these services individuals with Down syndrome may not have more than $2,000 in assets, and earn no more than $674 in a monthly income.
The ABLE Act will help people with Down syndrome live full, productive lives in their communities without losing benefits provided through private insurances, the Medicaid program, the supplemental security income program, the beneficiary's employment, and other sources. An ABLE account could fund a variety of essential expenses for individuals, including medical and dental care, education, community based supports, employment training, assistive technology, housing, and transportation.
"Parents of children with disabilities face unique challenges that necessitate careful planning to ensure the well-being of their children. The ABLE Act will make it easier for families to save for costs associated with the care and the future of their special needs children, providing them with much needed financial peace of mind," says ABLE Act Champion and lead Senator sponsor Senator Robert Casey Jr. (D-PA).
This August, NDSS DS-Ambassadors are meeting with Senators and Representatives who have not yet cosponsored the ABLE Act in states and Congressional districts across the country. Additionally, throughout the NDSS Buddy Walk® Program, local Buddy Walks are inviting Senators and Representatives to attend and participate in Walks to educate them on the importance of the ABLE Act, and incorporating advocacy materials and tools (i.e., postcard, email, and call-in campaigns) to help encourage members of Congress to sign onto this important legislation.
"As the mom of a child with special needs," says Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Co-chair of the Congressional Down Syndrome Caucus, "I know that far too often federal policies limit those with disabilities, making them dependent on the government and keeping them in poverty. To take one example, when my son Cole was born, my husband and I were advised not to put any assets in Cole's name because it would penalize him if he needed to qualify for a government program someday. There are millions of other parents in this same situation. They would like to improve their children's quality of life without jeopardizing their access to benefits. That's why we need the ABLE Act. This common-sense bill would allow parents of children with disabilities to save for their children's future without jeopardizing their access to benefits, giving them an added layer of security. This is a very important bill because it will give many kids with disabilities a chance to escape from poverty and live the American Dream. I'm proud to support it."
The ABLE Act will eliminate barriers to work and saving by preventing dollars saved through ABLE accounts from counting against an individual's eligibility for any federal benefits program. The legislation also contains Medicaid fraud protection against abuse and a Medicaid pay-back provision when the beneficiary passes away. NDSS is also leading a coalition of over 50 national disability, religious, and nonprofit organizations that are supporting the ABLE Act.
First, find out if your US Senators and Representative have signed onto the ABLE Act by clicking on the links below (If you don't know who your Senators and Representative are, find out here):
NDSS offers you three ways of contacting your Representative and Senators

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released its November report regarding progress made with inspections of chemical facilities.
In a meeting last week, the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) provided retailer input on DHS's plans to accelerate the CFATS program through: third-party auditors, Alternative security programs, streamlined inspections and corporate-based approaches.
"We made it clear today that DHS needs to have a functional process to provide retailers compliance assistance before ARA members are inspected," said Michael Kennedy, ARA public policy counsel. "Unlike large chemical companies with the extra staff, retailers are at disadvantage."

Pei took steps to ennoble these surfaces by mixing the cement with the dust of the Tennessee marble, giving the concrete a warmer hue.
The concrete was poured into molds constructed of wooden slats, which left a distinct, deep impression. Each mold was used once and then discarded. Pictured above on the left are molds for the coffering of the concrete ceilings of the East Building. On the right is an example of this coffering in the ceiling of the East Building's Study Center.Audio: I. M. Pei and Earl A. Powell III
