While I agree that most 19-year-olds are not the epitome of maturity, most know how to behave in a museum. Especially one as reverential as Anne Frank House.Had he written some similar drivel in The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame you might say "Okay, he's a bit much" but to write something so self-egrandizing in such a sacred place is beyond immature.I think young Mr. Bieber has had far too many people telling him how wonderful he is and it's time he got a reality check.
Okay, does this boy have no one around him to keep him grounded and his head from inflating any further than it has? Is everyone in his entourage think the sun shines from every one of his orifices? My boys would find themselves pulled aside and scolded if I caught them shadowboxing in a place like that rather than paying the proper respect. The comment's immature enough but shadowboxing?
I'm a bad, bad person. I read the linked article down to the Tweeted responses, and nearly spewed Coke when I got to "Anne Frank's Ghost" saying "Actually, I would have been a Juggalo!"
Seriously?! Shadow boxing THERE?! Boy needs a Gibb's slap upside the head...
Way back when, a friend of mine was ridiculously obsessed over the current 'teen heart-throbs' of the time. Her family went to Europe. I don't recall if she toured the house itself or just an exhibit on it, but it affected her.When she told me about it, she said, 'I know we read the book in school, but it never really clicked that she was an actual person. And I was standing in that place looking around her room and thinking how much she and I might have had in common. She was just a kid, the biggest worry of her life should have been whether or not was going to be the 9th caller and get the NKOTB backstage passes not 'if I sneeze right now is someone going to hear and get my family killed'"?I am going to assume, charitably, that Mr. Beiber's train of thought was going on a similar line and just derailed at 'poorly expressed' station.

Collecting Beeswax On Nature's Schedule
Bees know how to do their job, so Burt's Bees leaves them alone and minds their own beeswax until the time is right. That's how they ensure their beeswax cultivating process protects the Bees' normal production cycle. Bees produce a wax honeycomb where they raise their young and store honey and pollen. When it's full, they cap off the honeycomb and move on to build another hive. Then, and not before, is when they cultivate the beeswax, ensuring the normal cycle of nature.
Burt's Bees Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products hypoallergenic?
There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic." Consequently, Burt's Bees does not position their products as hypoallergenic. A list of ingredients for each product is available on individual product information pages on this site.
Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?
Burt's Bees recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with their products, or any other line of products.
How long will my Burt's Bees products stay fresh and what is the best way to store them?
Burt's Bees products are made with natural ingredients. They purposely present our products in smaller portions so you finish them while their ingredients are still fresh and providing their maximum effectiveness. As such, we recommend you store creams and oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Creams may be stored in their cartons for extra protection.
Where are Burt's Bees products made?
Over 95% of Burt's Bees products are made right in their own manufacturing plant in Durham, NC. The rest are made by other respectable American manufacturers.
Do you test on animals and do your products contain animal-derived ingredients?
Burt's Bees does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine.
I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products?
Burt's Bees does not use actual bee venom in their products – only bee by products such as honey, beeswax, royal jelly and honey powder. However, if you are allergic to bee by-products, then Burt's Bees does not suggest using their products. They recommend that you contact your health care provider when changing your skin care regimen to find out which products are best for you.

A cold front is moving over the southern Tasman Sea towards New Zealand and, in its wake, patchy low cloud covers parts of Tasmania. A line of thunderstorms to the east of the NSW Central Coast is associated with a prefrontal trough.
Areas of cloud over southeastern parts of South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales are due to a slow-moving low pressure system.
Most of the rest of Australia is cloud free although a little patchy low cloud can be seen about the far southwest of Western Australia within a light onshore airflow.

ATLANTA (AP) - During their dismal first season, the Atlanta Falcons' mascot - a real bird - apparently decided he had seen enough bad football.
So, he just flew away.
For the better part of the next four decades, plenty of Atlantans wished they could've followed the lead of that prescient falcon. This was the home of the NFL's not-so-lovable losers, a team that always found a way to quickly snuff out whatever hope it had.
Well, look at the Falcons now.
They have put together four straight winning seasons and are well on their way to a fifth, starting 5-0 for the first time in team history. Since the beginning of 2008, the Falcons have won 48 out of 69 games. Only the New England Patriots have won more during that span.

AP-GfK Poll: Support for boosting taxes on rich; fewer now back cutting government services
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans prefer letting tax cuts expire for the country's top earners, as President Barack Obama insists, while support has declined for cutting government services to curb budget deficits, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows. Fewer than half the Republicans polled favor continuing the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy.
There's also a reluctance to trim Social Security, Medicare or defense programs, three of the biggest drivers of federal spending, the survey released Wednesday found. The results could strengthen Obama's hand in his fiscal cliff duel with Republicans, in which he wants to raise taxes on the rich and cut spending by less than the GOP wants.
As Obama and Republicans joust over ways to avoid tumbling over the cliff when the new year begins, the poll offers scant evidence that the public is willing to sacrifice much when it comes to specific cuts in the name of budget austerity.
Social Security, Medicare and defense account for just over half the $3.8 trillion the government is projected to spend this year. Voters typically voice support for deficit reduction but shy away from painful, detailed cuts to achieve it.
In the poll, 48 percent said tax cuts should expire in January on earnings over $250,000 but continue for lower incomes. An additional 32 percent said the tax cuts should continue for everybody, which has been the view of Republican lawmakers who say raising taxes on the wealthy would squelch their ability to create jobs. Thirteen percent said the tax cuts dating back to 2001 and 2003 should end for all.
Israel's friendship with Europe frayed as Palestinian vote, settlement move stoke resentment
BERLIN (AP) -- It was supposed to be an amicable meeting between close friends. Instead, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Germany has been soured by Berlin's refusal to oppose a Palestinian U.N. statehood bid and anger throughout Europe over Israeli plans to expand settlements around Jerusalem.
The sensitivity of Netanyahu's trip to one of Israel's closest allies in Europe offers a taste of the increasing displeasure on the continent at his government's seeming intransigence, particularly over Jewish settlements on lands the Palestinians want for a future state.
Europeans, however, appear at a loss to develop an effective strategy of their own to pressure Israel to move forward on a moribund peace process with the deeply divided Palestinians. And it was unclear how hard Germany was prepared to push the Israelis.
The European Union came nowhere near a united front when the U.N. General Assembly voted last week to upgrade the Palestinians' diplomatic status -- effectively recognizing a Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
In a slap to Israel, its closest European allies -- Britain, Germany, Italy and France -- all abstained or voted with the Palestinians. The Czech Republic, where Netanyahu stopped on his way to Berlin, was the only EU country to join the U.S. and Israel in voting against the measure.
Islamists battle opponents with firebombs and rocks as Egypt descends into political turmoil
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt descended into political turmoil on Wednesday over the constitution drafted by Islamist allies of President Mohammed Morsi, and at least 211 people were wounded as supporters and opponents battled each other with firebombs, rocks and sticks outside the presidential palace.
Four more presidential aides resigned in protest over Morsi's handling of the crisis, and a key opponent of the Islamist president likened Morsi's rule to that of ousted authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak.
Both sides were digging in for a long struggle, with the opposition vowing more protests and rejecting any dialogue unless the charter is rescinded, and Morsi pressing relentlessly forward with plans for a Dec. 15 constitutional referendum.
"The solution is to go to the ballot box," declared Mahmoud Ghozlan, a spokesman for Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, asserting the charter was "the best constitution Egypt ever had."
The clashes outside the presidential palace in Cairo's Heliopolis district marked an escalation in the deepening crisis. It was the first time supporters of rival camps fought each other since last year's anti-Mubarak uprising, when the authoritarian leader's loyalists sent sword-wielding supporters on horses and camels into Cairo's Tahrir square in what became one of the uprising's bloodiest days.
Hit with a debilitating condition? Social Security expands program to fast-track some claims
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In an effort to ease the burden of being stricken with a debilitating condition, the Social Security Administration is expanding a program that fast-tracks disability claims by people who get serious illnesses such as cancer, early-onset Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease -- claims that could take months or years to approve in the past.
While providing faster benefits, the program also is designed to ease the workload of an agency that has been swamped by disability claims since the economic recession a few years ago.
Disability claims are up by more than 20 percent from 2008. The Compassionate Allowances program approves many claims for a select group of conditions within a few days, Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue said. The program is being expanded Thursday to include a total of 200 diseases and conditions.
Many of the conditions are rare; all of them are so serious that people who suffer from them easily meet the government's definition of being disabled, Astrue said. With proper documentation, these are relatively easy cases for the agency to decide, too easy to put through the usual time-consuming process that other applicants face, he said.
"Why for someone who is going to die within 15 months do we need 15 years of medical records?" Astrue said in an interview. "If somebody's got a confirmed diagnosis of ALS, you know that in essence, it's not only a disability, it's a death sentence, and there is no use in burdening them with paperwork."
Sheriff: Hunters find 2 bodies believed to be young Iowa cousins who disappeared in July
EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) -- Hunters discovered two bodies Wednesday believed to be the young Iowa cousins who vanished five months ago while riding their bikes, authorities said.
The families of 9-year-old Elizabeth Collins and 11-year-old Lyric Cook have been notified of the discovery and are asking for privacy, Black Hawk County sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben said. He wouldn't say where the bodies were found or if there were suspects in the girls' disappearance.
The cousins were last seen July 13 near a popular recreational lake in Evansdale, a city about 110 miles northeast of Des Moines. Investigators found their bikes and a pink purse near the lake hours later, but no sign of the girls.
"It's definitely not the outcome that we wanted, obviously," Abben said, appearing to fight back tears during a news conference in Evansdale. "This is a difficult thing for us to go through. It's a difficult thing for the community."
He said the bodies were being sent to the state medical examiner's office to confirm their identities.
Senate Democrat says she will consider higher food stamp program cuts to get farm bill passed
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee says she is willing to consider higher cuts to the food stamp program in an effort to include a massive five-year farm bill in negotiations on the so-called fiscal cliff.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said that cuts to the food stamp program beyond the $4 billion over 10 years included in a Senate-passed farm bill "are something I am willing to talk about." A farm bill passed by the House Agriculture Committee would include $16 billion in cuts over the same amount of time.
Both amounts are relatively small in relation to the program's total estimated cost -- almost $800 billion over the next decade -- but Stabenow's willingness to move on an issue long sacred to Democrats shows progress in negotiations as farm-state leaders scramble to get the bill done before the end of the year. Stabenow and House Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., met this week in hopes of reconciling their two versions of the bill.
The farm bill could be part of a deal to avert the combination of tax increases and automatic spending cuts due in January -- dubbed the fiscal cliff because the combination could plunge the economy into another recession -- because it saves money. A farm bill passed by the Senate in June would save a total of $23 billion over 10 years, while a version approved by the House Agriculture Committee in July would save $35 billion over the same period. Those total savings include the cuts to food stamps and also from farm subsidies.
Stabenow said in an interview with The Associated Press Wednesday that she is also open to increasing the savings from $23 billion, saying it "depends on the policy."
Jazz legend Dave Brubeck, who helped define genre's rhythms in 1950s and '60s, dies at 91
You don't have to be a jazz aficionado to recognize "Take Five," the smoky instrumental by the Dave Brubeck Quartet that instantly evokes swinging bachelor pads, hi-fi systems and cool nightclubs of the 1950s and '60s.
"Take Five" was a musical milestone -- a deceptively complex jazz composition that managed to crack the Billboard singles chart and introduce a new, adventurous sound to millions of listeners.
In a career that spanned almost all of American jazz since World War II, Brubeck's celebrated quartet combined exotic, challenging tempos with classical influences to create lasting standards.
The pianist and composer behind the group, Brubeck died Wednesday of heart failure at a hospital in Norwalk, Conn. He was a day shy of his 92nd birthday.
Brubeck believed that jazz presented the best face of America to the world.
Starbucks top open more than 1,500 cafes in the US as part of growth plans
NEW YORK (AP) -- Another Starbucks may soon pop up around the corner, with the world's biggest coffee company planning to add at least 1,500 cafes in the U.S. over the next five years.
Starbucks said Wednesday that it plans to boost the number of locations in its biggest market by about 13 percent by 2017. In the broader Americas region, the company plans to add a total of 3,000 new cafes by that time.
Starbucks also is planning to expand overseas, particularly in China, which is expected to surpass Canada as Starbucks' second-biggest market in the next two years. By that time, Starbucks says it will have 20,000 stores globally, up from about 18,000.
The upbeat expansion plans mark a turnaround from Starbucks' struggles during the recession. After hitting a rough patch, the company brought back founder Howard Schultz as CEO in 2008 and embarked on a massive restructuring effort that included closing 10 percent of its U.S. stores.
Cliff Burrows, who heads Starbucks' domestic business, said the problem wasn't that Starbucks was oversaturated, but that the company hadn't been careful about its store openings. In the years leading up to the downturn, the company was opening well over 1,000 stores a year. That led to cafes in locations where signs or traffic might not be optimal, he said.
Lebanese killed in Syrian war show how easily conflict can spill over
TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) -- The families of Lebanese men killed in Syria last week say their relatives were more interested in nice clothes and vacations than fighting a civil war. Yet Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime branded them foreign jihadists -- and their deaths set off three days of new spillover violence.
Gunmen loyal to opposite sides in Syria's civil war battled Wednesday in the streets of the Lebanese city of Tripoli. The fighting has killed six people and wounded nearly 60 since Monday, security officials said.
The bloodshed is a sign of just how vulnerable Lebanon is to getting sucked into the Syrian crisis. The countries share a porous border and a complex web of political and sectarian ties that is easily enflamed.
Among the 17 Lebanese men who turned up dead in Syria last week were Bilal al-Ghoul and his childhood friend, Malek Haj Deeb, both 20. Malek's older brother, Jihad, said the two men sympathized with the rebellion, but they were not fighters.
"Malek used to see the videos of dead Syrians and cry," Jihad Haj Deeb told The Associated Press in Tripoli, as gunfire and explosions echoed near his home in the poor neighborhood of Mankoubeen. "He used to say, 'May Bashar fall soon, God willing.'"
US, Mexico complete two-month trial to fly deportees deep into Mexico; future efforts unclear
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The U.S. and Mexican governments have completed a two-month program to fly deportees deep into Mexico, and the U.S. is looking to the new administration of Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on whether to continue the effort aimed at relieving overwhelmed Mexican border cities.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said 2,364 Mexican nationals flew on 18 flights during the trial period, all but three of them men. Nearly 2,000 had criminal convictions in the U.S.
The flights from El, Paso, Texas, to Mexico City were not voluntary, unlike a previous program to deport Mexicans arrested by the Border Patrol during Arizona's deadly summer heat.
Two days before leaving office last week, then-Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa said Mexico's new administration would work with the U.S. government on whether to continue.

UConn passed along some injury updates today.
X-rays Sunday confirmed that junior Niels Giffey fractured his right index finger in Saturday's 61-56 loss at Cincinnati. He will see an orthopedic specialist to determine a treatment plan.
It appears doubtful that Giffey, a key reserve, will play again this season. UConn has only two games remaining, visiting South Florida Wednesday and hosting Providence Saturday in Storrs.
Junior Shabazz Napier, the team's leading scorer, received treatment Sunday on his injured right foot. He's still experiencing discomfort despite sitting out Saturday's game. He'll continue to wear a walking boat and be evaluated on a day to day basis.
R.J. Evans of Salem replaced Napier in the starting lineup against Cincinnati, finishing with two points, six rebounds, two assists and three turnovers.
The Huskies (19-9, 9-7) are looking to avoid a season-high three game losing streak on Wednesday. Even if Napier returns for the game, he won't be 100 percent.
South Florida earned its second Big East win on Sunday, beating DePaul, 83-73.
In the first meeting this season, UConn won 69-64 in overtime on Feb. 3 in Storrs.

Let's file this one under "never saw that one coming." Former Chicago Bulls & Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is apparently coming to the Palace of Auburn Hills to serve as an adviser to Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars this summer. Jackson, who is friends with Pistons owner Tom Gores reportedly struck up a friendly conversation about the Pistons need for a new coach and it turned into a short-term position with the organization.
An advisor to the President isn't an unheard of hire but it does begin to raise some questions about Joe Dumars future as the head of what has become an ailing and under-supported franchise in the suburbs of the Motor City.
Some of you may remember that Joe Dumars and Phil Jackson weren't always so chummy. Back in the late 80's and early 90's it was Dumars and former teammate Isiah Thomas who were working alongside Dennis Rodman to knock Jackson's star Michael Jordan on his back every playoff series.
This is the man that coached the Bulls and finally got them past the juggernaut Pistons defense. So now he's going to help the Pistons find their next great coach? With Joe Dumars still at the helm? It seems...fishy to me.
If I am Dumars I have to be thinking to myself this is the beginning of my evaluation by Tom Gores. Owners rarely bring in "advisers" on coaching decisions when they are happy with the progress their President of Basketball Operations has shown in building a winning basketball team.
This could be the beginning of the end for the storied relationship between the Detroit Pistons & Joe Dumars.

Breast Cancer Radiation Raises Heart Risk
(NEWSER) – A new study looks at the heart dangers posed by radiation in breast cancer treatment, but despite the 2,168-woman, 43-year survey, the meaning of the results comes down to who you ask. "This is a major concern," one oncologist tells USA Today, while a cardiologist warns that the study "may represent just the tip of the iceberg." However, the New York Times calls the increased danger "modest," and says the study shows that radiation's benefits far outweigh the added heart risks.

Halloween Witch Pop-Up
This great pop-up is as much fun to receive as it is to make. If your copy machine enlarges you can make it even bigger.
Paper Clip
White Glue
Print out the pop-up piece of the witch and her cauldron and the Witch's card.
Using a ruler as a guide, take the rounded end of a paper clip (or a ballpoint pen that has run out of ink) and press along the dotted line on the center of the card and all of the pop-up pieces.
Carefully cut out the card, the witch and the cauldron following the solid, black lines.
Bringing the sides towards you with the center moving away, fold the cauldron in half along the center dotted line and crease.
Take hold of the small triangle at the bottom of the cauldron and fold it back and forth, loosening the fold line.
Fold back the left and right side of the cauldron along their dotted lines by pinching as shown in the pictures below.
The center of the cauldron is pushed away from you. The sides tabs are pushed back.
Fold back the small triangle again and apply a small amount of white glue. Pull the small triangle over to the left and aligning the center bottom with the bottom of the front of the cauldron. You'll notice that the whole piece begins to curve. This is good! Cauldrons are curved!
Press the small triangle firmly against the front and let the glue dry. Set the cauldron aside.
Take hold of the witch piece and pinch it in half just along the center dotted line.
e the witch and place her on a flat surface.
Take a hold of the tab marked "A" and fold it up against the witch's body. Open the tab back up to it's original position. Repeat the process with the tab marked "B".
Take hold of the witch's body. Pinch the lower half together while pushing the top half back.
Take hold of the upper body. Pinch the witch's head forward along it's dotted fold lines.
Apply a small amount of glue to the witch's open hand.
Take hold of the hand...and fold it over along it's dotted line, pressing firmly to let the glue dry.
The lower body is coming towards you, the upper body is going back and the head is coming towards you.
Apply a small amount of glue to the areas marked "A" and "B" on the card.
Carefully position the witch over the glued areas. Line up her tabs with the areas marked "A" and "B" and press down. Let the glue dry!
Apply a small amount of glue to the tab areas for both sides of the cauldron.
Carefully position the cauldron over the glued areas (make sure the witch's broom stays OUTSIDE of the cauldron). Line up the tabs with the areas...and press down. Let the glue dry! Your pop-up Witch is ready! Happy Halloween!
Make a Pop Up Bat to go with your Witch.

text: Milan Information When you visit Milan Destination Routes Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information Milan is all about design and high fashion, so the range of shops and trendy bars can be almost overwhelming. But Milan also has the Duomo cathedral, da Vinci's "Last Supper" and the simple neighbourhood restaurants where no long lunch is complete without ossobuco and risotto alla milanese. Facts Population 1.3 million Currency 1 Euro, € = 100 cents Opening hours Shops in Milan are usually open 09.00-13.00 and 15.00-20.00, with some variation depending on the time of year. Large department stores and some of the famous fashion houses are usually open all day. Newspapers Hello Milano Milano Mese Easy Milan Tourist information Via Marconi Guglielmo 1 +39 02 7252 4301 Milan was founded by Celtic tribes around 600 B.C. When the Romans conquered the city, it was renamed "Mediolanum"—the land in the middle. Thanks to Milan's strategic location in the middle of the fertile Po River valley, it quickly became an important centre for trade in the Roman Empire. Later, it also became its western capital. In 313, Constantine the Great issued the Edict of Milan, declaring Christianity equal to other religions in the Empire. Today, Milan is the second largest city in Italy. Almost everything in Milan revolves around the fashion industry. Most famous designers and fashion houses tend to be located in the city—the area around Via Monte Napoleone and Via Della Spiga is the heart and home to many fashion industry flagship stores. Centro Storico is where many of the city's famous sights are located, including the Duomo and the La Scala Opera. Navagli, by the canals, is another exciting neighbourhood famous for its nightlife and the artsy Brera enclave. The best way to understand how Milan is laid out is to take a ride on one of the trams. Route 1 runs from the main train station, via Piazza Cairoli to Castello Sforzesco and is probably the best choice. But many other routes also offer good views of the city. Il Duomo The Cathedral is the symbol of Milan. Building began in 1386 and was not completed until 500 years later. It is a late Gothic masterpiece, made more interesting by the fact that this style can't be seen anywhere else in Italy. Towering over the piazza del Duomo, the marble building is covered by 135 spires and countless statues.

Food for Thought
By Kris Kucera
Rarely does an extended family get a free pass from Alzheimer's disease or diabetes mellitus. On the surface, these two afflictions appear totally unrelated —Alzheimer's (AD), Mother Nature's cruel version of identity theft; and diabetes, the glucose-metabolism disorder that affects both young and old alike. However, new research indicates that the two diseases behave in a similar manner.
In a study recently published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, researchers from Brown Medical School found that reduced glucose uptake and decreased metabolism in the hippocampus—the area of the brain associated with memory—cause neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. This, they say, suggests that a form of diabetes, tentatively dubbed type 3, leads to AD.
Type 1 diabetes results from a severe or complete lack of insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas that controls blood sugar. Type 2, dubbed adult onset diabetes (although these days it occurs in teenagers and even younger kids), also stems from a dearth of insulin, or insulin resistance —the existing insulin molecules cannot deliver glucose through the cells' membranes. Surprisingly, the researchers found a new form of insulin, produced in the brain, and they believe that, over time, decreasing levels of this "brain insulin" and other insulin-related proteins ultimately precipitate AD. While levels of brain insulin have no known affect on a body's overall blood sugar, scientists have long recognized that diabetes patients are more likely to develop AD than those without the disease.
Skeptics of the Brown team's findings argue that our brains produce so little insulin in the first place, reduced levels of the hormone can't possibly play a significant role in AD. Regardless, the new data show that AD may be a neuroendocrine disorder, thus increasing the possibility for more effective treatments. And that gives hope to all of us who may one day be touched, directly or indirectly, by the merciless hand of AD.

SHREVEPORT – In a close District 1-2A game, the Lakeside Warriors fell to Calvary Baptist, 61-58, Friday night at Calvary.
"It was a close game all the way through," Lakeside head coach Jason Gould said. "We fought hard and scrapped and played pretty well but just fell short."
The Warriors missed a court-length three-pointer at the buzzer that would have tied the game up.

Morning DiscussionI would very much like to tell you something about video games this morning but the truth is that I'm far too excited to concentrate. Tomorrow evening I'll be seeing the truly wonderful and dreadful Troll 2 along with a documentary about it, Best Worst Movie. I'm a sucker for enjoyably bad movies, especially bad horror movies, and oh my gooooooooooooooood Troll 2 is fantastically bad.
But video games are real, they do exist, and they are happening, so let's get onto those, yes? I hear they have buttons and everything nowadays.

The countdown is on to USDA's Prospective Plantings report, which will be released March 28 at 11 a.m. Will we have another record-breaking year for total acres planted? Which crop will win the battle?
Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, says he's predicting just as many or more corn and soybean acres this year.
But, he expects some shifts to occur, especially in areas that were hit hard by the drought last year. "I would expect some changes from corn-on-corn to back to a corn-soy rotation," he says.
The weather now and through planting season will be a major factor, as always, especially now that weather patterns are finally starting to shift. "A month ago we were talking about how dry it was going to be forever and ever and now we're worried about getting our crops in the ground east of the Mississippi River," Gulke says. "My how the times have changed."
(in million acres)
Gulke says that based on Informa's predictions, it expects the recent run up in beans and drop in corn will chase some of those acres back to beans.
The industry chatter, Gulke says, is that with the recent price improvement for cotton, maybe cotton acres won't decrease as drastically as predicted earlier this year. But, he believes the number will still be down, and whatever acres don't go to cotton will go to corn. "Corn is cheaper to plant than cotton."
History tells us USDA's Prospective Plantings will have some major price implications. But, after the report dust settles, which way are prices headed?
December 2013 corn is hovering around $5.50. Gulke believes it will take severe crop failure or success in major corn-growing areas to cause major swings. "I don't think we'll get $7 corn again unless Illinois or Iowa has a problem. We don't get $4 corn unless the main Corn Belt has a great crop."
The good news is this situation leaves lots of room for error. "In essence, I could do nothing [in terms of marketing]," he says. "If I get 200 bu.-corn and sell it for $4, that's $800 an acre. If I get 140 bu.-corn and get $7, that's nearly $1,000 an acre."

Detroit firefighters are finding themselves in a new battle. Non-working
fire hydrants are making their jobs more difficult and it's putting
lives and property in danger.
Click on the video player to watch reports from Ronnie Dahl and Robin Schwartz.
Stuffed animals line the porch on a two story home on Promenade. A sad reminder of the tragedy that took place over the weekend. It was around 1 a.m. Saturday when flames ripped through the home. Several people were inside including small children. Neighbors rushed to try and save them but a 9 month old baby did not survive.
When Detroit firefighters arrived, they found the home filled with smoke and flames. The thing they needed most to fight the blaze wasn't working. The fire hydrant right across the street, is out of service. Fox 2 has learned, several others hydrants close by also weren't working. Some are in need of repairs, others are frozen. It's a growing problem across the city. And thieves are making things worse by stealing brass from hydrants for scrap metal.
There's heavy damage at the house on the 12000 block of Promenade where the deadly fire occurred. We talked to one neighbor who took part in the desperate effort to save the family.
"The grandma threw three [children] through the window and she said she couldn't get the other one," said Blake Maxwell. "We did the best we could. We couldn't get the baby but we dragged one man out. It was crazy."
"You don't know when you're going to see a person for the last time," added Andrew Maxwell. "To be so young, however it went, it's sad, it's sad, it really is."
Witnesses tell us it appears the fire started in the kitchen of the house but it's still not clear what caused it.

Actor Bryan Cranston of AMC's "Breaking Bad" is apparently having a great time at the San Diego Comic-Con. Cranston showed up at a panel event wearing an incredibly realistic Walter White mask. The mask is so real that you'd think it's actually Cranston, which in this case... it was. If you missed the hilarious photos, you can view them HERE.
Cranston has been busy promoting the final episodes of "Breaking Bad". Fans of the series are anxious to see what twists and turns lie ahead, as well as the eventual fate of Walter White.
MTV had a sit-down with Cranston to talk about the show. They presented him with the Walter White in Hazmat Suit action figure by Mezco Toys. You can watch Cranston's response below.
You can get a closer look at this beautifully sculpted figure in the image below. These are no longer available for sale on the Mezco website, so my guess is they've been sold out. However, you can still buy their excellent 'Bad Walt as Heisenberg' action figure while they last. Retail is $18.
Mezco's "Breaking Bad" line is available for viewing and purchase HERE.

How I Finally Got FriendsSaturday, August 28th, 2010
When I was in Ada, I was always around welcoming people. As I walked down the road, everyone would greet me. Little kids would run out to say hello. I was constantly running into kids from school who would smile and shyly nod, "Miss Robin." I knew plenty of people in the village, though they were either mostly younger students and older teachers, so I didn't have any real contemporaries. But I was okay with that.
My first few nights at the hostel, I had a lot of "single-serving friends," as Edward Norton says in Fight Club. There would be other girls in the room who would stay for a night or two. We might go out to eat or to a spot bar. Maybe we'd chat about the places we missed in the U.S. while drying out our hair or sharing the mirror. And then they would leave – they would go off to their flight, their village, or their internship assignment – and I would stay. The Salvation Army hostel is a place most people stay in for a night or two, but I was there for four weeks. For good.
There was Sugandi, a lady from Sri Lanka who was in the room too with her daughter Lisa (Lisaline). The poor lady had been in the hostel for nine months. She was waiting to get a visa to meet her husband in Paris. As far as I know, she's still there. She keeps on going to the embassy, and they keep on telling her, "Two weeks." Such a sad story, and such a kind lady. In the morning, she would make tea or Milo, a Ghanaian version of hot chocolate. Lisa would approach me and present the cup with a little smile. Sugandi could not be nicer, and Lisa could not be cuter. But I still didn't have any friends. I knew a few locals through Kelvin or other guests at the hostel, but at least at that point, we weren't that close. I didn't have any girlfriends I could just chat with, grab a bite with, or easily relate to.
And then Annie came. Annie is from England. She has bright blond hair, a cheery smile, a great accent, and is one of the friendliest, silliest people I know.
When I walked into the room my first week there, after a long day at work and an evening at the beach with one of my local friends, I saw two new bags in the room. I didn't bother making conversation beyond "hey what's your name where are you from." They would be gone the next day anyway.
But the next day came, and Annie was still there. "How long are you here for?" she asked as I set my bag down on my bed. "I saw they have a sign that says you can only stay for a week?"
I laughed bitterly. "Yeah, that's not true. I'm here for four."
"Really? That's awesome. Cause I think I might be here for a while. I'm in Ghana til September and I haven't worked out any other place to stay."
My heart fluttered. Could I have a friend? At last?
We went out for gelato at Arlecchino's that night (expensive, but so worth it). We laughed, gushed, and commiserated over Ghana. She was doing research on the effectiveness of volunteerism, having come back two years after being a volunteer herself. On the way back to the hostel, we ran into some of the guys who sell things on the street who had been bothering me for the past few days. I steeled my shoulders and got ready brush past them with, "No thank you, sir." That's when she greeted them with, "Hey, Calobash! Black Rasta! This is my friend Robin." Our friendship was cemented.
And then Saskia came.
I was coming back late one Thursday after being at the village for the day. I climbed the steps to the second floor courtyard of the hostel, half-asleep. Suddenly a tall, elegant girl in blue slacks and a peasant top stopped me.
"Excuse me, are you Robin?"
"Yes," I wrinkled my forehead, surprised.
"I am Saskia," she said in a slight accent.
"Oh my God, Saskia, hey! Kelvin told me you might be coming."
Saskia was my professor Jesse Shipley's assistant, for Jesse's documentary on the Black Stars. Jesse had called Kelvin because Saskia was looking for a place to stay, so Kelvin of course recommended the same place he'd suggested to me: the lovely Salvation Army hostel.
By a great stroke of luck, Saskia ended up in my room. We got to talking, and it turned out we shared a ton of interests: art, culture, hip life music, getting the local experience. Saskia is a student in Berlin writing her thesis on hip life – what Jesse's work is on; a type of music in Ghana that combines traditional African high life with contemporary hip hop. Saskia models too, and she sure looks like one with her high cheekbones, long amber hair, and chic gray dresses.
Suddenly I had gone from no friends, to two. Saskia, Annie, and I made a team. In the morning, we would buy pineapple from the ladies on the street and walk over to Frankie's café for a loaf of warm brioche. We would go out to spot bars at night, or during the day get taken around by Saskia's Ghanaian friends. When I developed an allergic reaction to massive mosquito bites on my legs, they took me to the hospital and picked me up fried rice. When we would get back at any hour past 9 pm and Sugandi would have the lights off and door locked, we would knock on the door and cower outside together.
I had friends. Life was looking up.
