Weinstein brothers endure challenging second act
By Gregg Goldstein
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - As far as Harvey Weinstein is concerned, he and his brother Bob have been battling naysayers for 25 years.
Although they proved their critics wrong more than once during their long run at Miramax, when they walked away from the company they founded, they inevitably faced a chorus of skeptics who doubted their ability to create a new, independent entertainment company on a grand scale.
Since setting up their privately held Weinstein Co. in 2005 with $490 million in equity and a $500 million debt facility, the duo haven't reached the same highs they enjoyed at Miramax. Box office high points like 2006's "Scary Movie 4" (which grossed $178 million worldwide) and 2007's "1408" ($131 million) lacked the cultural sizzle and awards validation of "Pulp Fiction" or "Shakespeare in Love."
Two $4 million acquisitions, "Dedication" (purchased with First Look) and the Oscar-hyped "Grace Is Gone," grossed a poor $93,000 and $51,000 respectively at U.S. theaters last year.
But while their theatrical track record has been decidedly mixed, the Weinsteins say they've been busy building a 600-title library and tending to ancillary businesses such as home video and pay TV.
"The press only see the theatrical side of the business," Harvey said. "But you folks don't see a movie like 'The Reef,' selling three or four hundred thousand DVDs and doing big business at Blockbuster."
The brothers insist they've finally got all the elements in place to do justice to a full slate of films, some already shooting, others ready to go before the cameras.
Still, like everyone else in the indie film sector, the Weinsteins face a tightening credit market and a glut of films that have made scoring a hit ever harder. As a result, some question how the Weinstein Co. is financing its many projects. Continued...

Wallace's signing attracted a lot of attention, and snark, but reality is this is essentially a tryout. Details:
"This is not something that's definite," Mike Woodson said of Wallace, who reportedly signed a non-guaranteed deal that only locks in if he makes the final roster. "It's an opportunity to look at him and see if he has something left and if he has something left I think it would be a positive for our ballclub."
Make no mistake, however, Woodson is hoping Wallace has something left and therefore the veteran will get every opportunity to prove himself during the preseason. There is also something to be said for the team sticking with Wallace over a player such as Chris Copeland and giving Wallace time during the regular season to get his weight down and conditioning up. His experience, and ability to defend and hit the three, would be most valuable come springtime.

Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler will return to London early next year -- and this time, they'll bring their Knicks teammates along for the ride.
The NBA announced on Thursday that the Knicks will square off against the Pistons in a regular-season game on Jan. 17 at The O2 arena. It will be a nice treat (and reunion of sorts) for Knicks coach Mike Woodson, who was a Detroit a.ssistant when the Pistons won the title in 2004.
"I am excited to show our great fans in London what New York basketball is about," he said in a statement. "For Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler to return to the city where they helped Team USA win the gold makes it even more special for our team."
The matchup marks the third regular-season game played in London. In March 2011, the Nets played two games against the Raptors at The O2, and both sold out.
Tickets will go on sale on Oct. 30 at .
"London was the epicenter of global sports this summer, and the Olympics were a tremendous showcase for basketball," NBA commissioner David Stern said in a statement. "Playing our third regular-season game in the city in three years and having historic franchises, like the Knicks and Pistons, serve as our ambassadors provide extraordinary opportunities to further the game's growth and development in the UK and throughout Europe."

Just look at the influence veteran – and former retiree – Rasheed Wallace is already having over 22-year-old Iman Shumpert. Rasheed put on his best workout culottes to give the 1-year veteran a lesson in how to shoot three pointers with his left-hand. See, Wallace sees a weakness in a young player's game – Shump shot just 30% from distance as a rookie – and gives him instruction to help him get better. These are the kinds of things you will only learn in New York Knicks training camp. This season is going to be incredible. Ball don't lie.

For every three sharpshooter Steve Novak hits at MSG, dozens more were made back in Brown Deer, WI.
SLAM: Tell us about your hometown.
SN: When I was in third grade, I moved to Brown Deer, which is a suburb of Milwaukee and has about 12,000 people. My dad was the high school basketball coach when we moved there. Pretty much from kindergarten on, after school my mom would pick me up and take me right over to my dads practices. I would just go shoot in the gym and hang out while his team practiced.
SLAM: I heard that even before that, your dad put a hoop on your baby crib.
Steve Novak: My dad literally put a hoop on my crib, thats no joke. I think thats just part of growing up in a basketball family. I started as early as anybody playing in little Y leagues and stuff like that. My dad was a high school coach since I was born. He was my high school coach. He coached for 26 years at my high school. His dad played professional ball, my dad played in college. My older sister played basketball at Michigan Tech University, she was Player of the Year in her conference her senior year. Then theres me, and then my little brother, he played at Wisconsin-Oshkosh for three years. And then my little sister is actually in high school now, shes a senior. She hasnt committed anywhere yet but shes a good little player and shes getting interest from a lot of Division I schools. So its kind of the whole family.
SLAM: Was there one place in your hometown that really helped you develop your game?
SN: Brown Deer High School gym. When I was a little guy, Id get to the gym and Id ask my dad for a dollar. Id go get candy out of the vending machine and I would go dump it on the floor and eat it right in the gym. I love being in the gym, Ive always been that way. And the other place would be the halfcourt my dad built in the backyard of our house. That was really where I started to truly work on my game. Starting in eighth grade, I would make 300 shots every day after school. That was my home court.
SLAM: Sounds like having your father guide you toward basketball was really important.
SN: Yeah, it was huge. Im reading a book right now called Outliers, and it talks about why people are exceptional, and talks about how youre raised and the opportunities youre given and the people that affect you in your life. And I think about my path to where I am today, and theres no doubt that having my dad as my high school basketball coach and having a court in my backyard, always having the keys to the gym, was huge. He really is the reason I am what I am today.
SLAM: What position did you start out playing?
SN: People always said to me because Ive always been the tallest kid in my class, Im like 6-10, or little kids when I speak at camps will always say, Are you a center? or Were you a center when you were my age? and stuff like that, because Im obviously pretty tall compared to the little grade school group I talk to. But then you see these guys in the NBA that are like 300 pounds. And I tell them I was just really fortunate because when I started playing, it was on a 10-foot hoop with a mens basketball on the other end, like, Go down there and play. I would just shoot and shoot and shoot. I always enjoyed shooting from as far away as possible, like youre not supposed to. When I was a little guy, my form was awful. I would shoot from my shoulder because I was always trying to heave it. But I was lucky I think because my dad never said, Youre a big man or Youre a back to the basket guy. He always allowed me to be a shooter and be a perimeter player.
SLAM: Did you have a favorite player growing up?
SN: When I was little, Jordan was my hero. As I got older and realized what kind of player I was, guys like Allan Houston were who I modeled my game after. Ray Allen, when he was with the Bucks and I was in Milwaukee, he was great to watch because obviously hes still a great shooter, and somebody that I look at as one of the greatest shooters. I would watch film in college on how he got open off of screens and how quickly he shot the ball. I always looked up to the guys who were shooters.
SLAM: With all the players in your family, what are those backyard games like at family get-togethers now?
SN: Its great. The other day we were just hanging out in the backyard and shooting, and my older sister swears there is no doubt that she has the best 15-20 foot game in our family. My brother swears hes still stronger than me and more athletic. And my little sister keeps telling me, Youll see, just wait, Im going to be the best shooter. Its hard to convince anyone in my own family that Im any good. They all tell me that theyre better than me.
SLAM: In high school, you won Gatorade Player of the Year in Wisconsin. What did that mean to you?
SN: It was a huge honor. I think back to the state of mind that youre in when youre a high school kid. Youre never really sure if anyones going to notice you or if youre going to get any recognition, or get a college scholarship or that kind of stuff. So at the time, thats a huge deal, to get an honor like that from Gatorade and it was just cool because I go back there now and I see that banner hanging up. Growing up I had so many people that were believers in me. Its cool to go back now and see the banners hanging there and its there for the community. You can really see that I was a product of the city of Brown Deer. And its cool that its still there.
SLAM: Then you stayed local and went to Marquette. Why?
SN: When youre a junior or senior in high school, you dont really know what youre committing to. You hope you do, your parents help you. I thought I wanted to go away, I wasnt sure, I just thought thats what you did, you went away. In the end, I would do it over the exact same way. I was so happy to be able to have my family see me play. And I played for Tom Crean, who was the by far the best choice I could have made for me. I didnt know how much it meant to be able to have my friends and family go see me in college. And now I come back and the community that I played college in is still home for me, so its really nice.
SLAM: When did you start to think the NBA was a real possibility for you?
SN: My first three years in college, I wasnt k!lling. It wasnt like Oh, Novaks going to the League. But its something I always dreamed about. I remember sitting once, watching one of the Sunday doubleheaders, Marv Albert doing the commentating, Kobe and Shaq, were playing that day, I dont even remember who else. But it was when I was little in my room Id watch those games and just dreaming like, I wanted it so bad. I remember shooting in my backyard and thinking if I make this shot from, say 30 feet away, Im going to go to the NBA. Trying to make a deal with the devil, almost. Anything to get there. You never really know, but thinking back, I think I felt it for the first time in my senior year when we beat UConn. It was the first Big East game that we played and we beat UConn, I think they were ranked No. 2 at the time. It was Rudy Gay, Hilton Armstrong and Marcus Williams and that whole crew. That was probably my best game in college. I had 41 points and 16 rebounds. I remember Bo Ellis saying something to me after the game. He said something like, You earned some money tonight young fella. When someone like Bo Ellis says something to you, you gotta think he knows what hes talking about.

A million miniscule decisions in a line,
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear, but that's all right,
We've got all night.
If you'd asked me last year what I would study in college, I would have answered "English." Always English. I've known I wanted to be an English major since I was a bright-eyed nine-year-old looking up to the college girls who would babysit us from time to time. They loved stories, particularly those contained between two worn covers. So did I. They loved writing about and talking about the books they read. So did I. They were English majors...
Little logic is required for the rest.
I'm not the most decisive person in the world: I'll say that upfront. I took dance as a seven-year-old, then gymnastics, and then dance again. I wanted to play piano like Beth March, draw like Amy March, and sew like my mother. There was even a period of time in my childhood when I was convinced I wanted to take up clog dancing. (That began and ended quickly when my interest turned to other fields.) But in the space of my brief life, the only years from which I can draw experience, I remained convinced (to varying degrees) that I wanted to write. Beth and Amy soon faded into the background, but Jo, my old favorite, remained.
How I love to watch you listen to the music
'Cause you sing to me a music of your own
As I cast out all these lines, so afraid that I will find
I am alone, all alone.
None of this should come as a surprise to you. I keep a writing blog, after all — it follows that I'd like to study English (or history, my second choice). The thought of pursuing this sort of Bachelor's degree is a comfortable thing in rosy youth when reality has not yet landed a pile of essays on your lap. At age nine, English did not yet taste of tone, thesis, or MLA citation. It was Story. As I matured a bit more and learned about the reality of enrolling in a university in the twenty-first century, I began to pull away bit by bit. The concept of working from home, turning my writing hobby into a real occupation, and learning by experience rather than four more years of formal education sounded promising. No more exams. No more technicalities. Just the business, verve, and toil of capturing the Story I'd always loved.
But there are still good schools. There are still good professors. They're rare, and you have to look diligently in order to find them because they're not so verbal in singing their own praises, but they're out there. And if I could learn under them to reach for excellence, was that not a good thing? Would it not be a priviledge to continue learning about the great books even as I began to write a few of my own? To engage in deep, provoking discussions? To strengthen my mind and sharpen my wit?
And then there's a small love, a nurturing love that rankles underneath all the rest. Something God laid on my heart before any thought of an English major had entered my mind. Something that hasn't changed in these twelve long years since I first considered it.
Reader, I feel led to be a midwife.
My dreams come in different shapes after all. I want to write stories rich with splintered fragments of truth, but I also want to witness those stories in a mother's sweaty brow and a baby's first lusty cry. I don't want to confine everything to the page. I thrill at the creative process involved in writing a good book, and I want to work where I am awed daily at the miracle of God's creation. To nurture, guide, and love. To shine His light in a new way. To give my life over to the Lord as softened clay, saying, "Do with me as You see fit."
Writing. History. English education. And midwifery. These are my crumpled dreams, and Lord, they are Yours.
Well, could it be that the many roads you took to get here
Were just for me to tell this story and for you to hear this song?
And your many hopes, and your many fears
Were meant to bring you here all along.
I've toiled over these thoughts for a long time. Junior year of high school is when you're supposed to have it all together in the areas of standardized testing (my worst enemy) and college-searching. You're supposed to know what you want to do with your life and you base life-changing decisions on that knowledge. Just one more year until we stand on that platform, caps in hand, and though we toss them out of jubilation and cheer for the uncertainty of the future, each heart beats a little faster because the clock is ticking and we still don't have all the boxes filled.
But we're crumpled as our dreams, and like our dreams, we're His. We need not worry about where God will lead us, because we know He will in His time. I may never publish another book: I'll still write. I may never assist at a birth or even deliver a child of my own: I'll still rejoice when I see a little one's smile. I may read and read my whole life through, and it may be the closest glimpse I have of Heaven. Our ponderings, our aching hearts, the restlessness that hounds us — He put it in us for a purpose. Don't give your soul over to anxiety, but give thanks in the season of uncertainty. The world is bent on discovering itself: I want to know my Lord. There are precious things I love, special desires I hide away in my heart, but they will not satisfy me unless they come from God.
We were meant to be right here all along.
*all lyrics from "many roads" by andrew peterson.

|Mon, 27 Aug 2007 12:07:14 GMT
Hi all, We have the following use case. . [acme:Category] > mix:referenceable o acme:name o acme:subCategories (reference) multiple COPY o < 'acme:Category' . [acme:CategorisedObject] o acme:categories (reference) multiple COPY < 'acme:Category ..which allows us to put objects in a category (ignoring the rights or wrongs of using references). It's possible to write a query which returns the objects in a particular category knowing the category UUID as follows: xpathquery "//element(*, acme: CategorisedObject)[acme:categories = \'6acdf351-d40f-4c3f-985f-20c7565227d9\']" ..but we really want to be able to explicitly reference the category by path in the query and avoid the jcr:uuid reference with: xpathquery "//element(*, acme: CategorisedObject)[acme:categories = /home/Category/mycategory/jcr:uuid]" This is invalid as the target of "=" operator is expected to be a literal. Any suggestions on how to do this? Regards, Shaun.

Window regulator, Window motor
Toyota gear-drive-type window regulator
The mechanism that moves the window up and down is called the window regulator.
In cars with power windows, the window regulator is powered by an electric motor, called the window motor. In some cars, the window motor comes with the window regulator as one unit; in others, the window motor can be replaced separately.
There are two basic types of window regulators: the gear-drive type (in the photo) and the cable type (see photo below).
In a typical sedan, there are four window regulators; one inside each door. In some convertibles, a separate window regulator can be installed inside the rear quarter panel. A window regulator doesn't need any maintenance or adjustment. If it fails, the failed part or the whole unit must be replaced.
Ford cable-type window regulator
Window regulator problems
Problems with window regulators are common. A broken window regulator cable can cause the window to jam or fall down inside the door. See this example, where the cable broke and the power window stopped working. In cold temperatures, the window can freeze in closed position. When the window switch is operated down, the window can separate from the window regulator. If this happens, in some cars, the window can be re-secured without replacing parts, in others the window regulator might need to be replaced.
Symptoms of a bad window regulator
- the window falls down inside the door
- abnormal noise when a window is moving up or down
- the window rises slow, jams or doesn't close fully
- the window slides up or down crooked
- the window doesn't move at all while all other windows work
- when the window switch is pressed, the window motor runs but the window doesn't move.
How the window regulator is diagnosed
Before deciding on a repair option, the problem must be properly diagnosed. Your mechanic may have to take the door cover off and check what part has failed. If the window motor doesn't operate at all, while other windows work, the window motor electric circuit must be tested to isolate the faulty component. It could be a bad window switch, problem with the wiring or connector or a bad window motor. See how the window motor is tested below.
Window regulator replacement
Replacing the window regulator is not very expensive ($50-140 labor, $40-$180 part) and aftermarket parts are often available. As a DIY project, the window regulator replacement rates from 5 to 7 on the scale from 0 to 10, 10 being the most difficult. You might need to enlist one of your friends to help, as the glass needs to be held in the top position while the window regulator is replaced. It's also very common for door cover clips to break whenever the door cover is removed. You may want to order a couple of new clips. Typically, there are 8-10 clips holding the door cover. In many cars, the power window must be reset after the window regulator or window motor is replaced or the AUTO-UP function will not work. You can google the specific reset procedure or check the owner's manual for your car.
How the window motor is tested
In this car, the window motor in the right front door stopped working. Pressing the window switch up or down does nothing, however all other windows work. We checked the service manual that says to remove the interior door cover and check for battery voltage at the window motor connector.
The manual says to operate the window switch and check for the voltage at the connector. When the window switch is pressed "Down" the multimeter measures 12 Volts, so we know there is power at the window motor switch.
When the window switch is pressed "Up" the multimeter shows -12 Volts, because the polarity changes when the window switch is moved from "Down" to "Up" position.
Next, the service manual asks: does the motor operate by connecting the battery voltage directly to the motor? We did it and nothing happens, the window motor is bad and must be replaced.
The window motor comes together with the window regulator as an assembly for this car. The new part was less than $100 and it took around one hour to replace. This post has links to sources offering the service manual online.
A: In some Mazda cars, the power windows must be initialized after the battery was disconnected. For example, the Quick Tips brochure for the 2007 Mazda 6 describes the procedure: With the ignition switch "ON", press switch and fully open the power window. Next, pull up switch to fully close power window and continue holding switch for about 2 seconds after window is fully closed. Repeat the same steps for the front passenger window from the passenger door switch.

text: Refers to the size of the diaphragm used in a microphone. While there are no final standards regarding a diaphragm size that defines Small Diaphragm, most professionals and manufacturers agree that any diaphragm smaller than 5/8″ would be considered a Small Diaphragm. Generally speaking, Small Diaphragm microphones tend to do a good job of capturing high frequency content and transients. They will tend to have a bit more "air" to their sound and often have less coloration than medium diaphragm or large diaphragm microphones. Most of this is due to the reduced mass of the smaller diaphragm, which allows it to more closely follow any air disturbances it is subjected to.

There are a number of factors that need to be considered when designing a vision system, including: the hardware platform, the operating system, the software and API, and the very things that make the vision system "see" – the camera and its lens. Although each aspect plays an important role in achieving desired results, the camera and lens are the essence of the vision system. As such, it is recommended that both the camera and the lens be selected as a pair based on overall system requirements. Here we discuss various elements of vision systems with a focus on the camera and lens.

Note on an alternative solution of Kamien-Schwartz's limit pricing problem
- Received:
- Cite this article as:
- Küpper, KW. & Walter, J. ZOR - Methods and Models of Operations Research (1995) 41: 115. doi:10.1007/BF01415069
- 56 Downloads
The present authors found Kamien-Schwartz's (Ref. 1) theory of limit pricing with infinite planning horizon interesting mainly because of a certain disproportion between the rather simplelooking result, viz., constancy of the optimal price strategy, and its comparatively difficult proof, viz., use of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) which in the infinite horizon case is encumbered by the additional difficulty of not leading to a uniquely solvable system of necessary conditions. Quite in consonance with Arrow's opinion referred to in Takayama (Ref. 2, p. 446) that sometimes "the infinite horizon formulation is more convenient and revealing" than the finite one, it turned out that in this special case the original optimization problem could be replaced by a much simpler one and, therefore, the use of PMP avoided.

Originally posted on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/30/13
That's not going to do much to quiet the hype. The University of Kentucky basketball team's most talked-about freshmen of the preseason, guard James Young and forward Julius Randle, put on a show and the Wildcats' likely starting five dominated the Blue-White scrimmage Tuesday night in Rupp Arena. Kentucky mixed and matched rosters, so Blue's 99-71 win over White is inconsequential. What matters is that Young, once a forgotten member of the Cats' historic recruiting class who has emerged as the star of early practices, looked exactly as advertised: the best player on the floor. He went off for 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting and had seven steals, three assists, three rebounds and a block. "I had a lot of confidence, but I guess it's just growing even more," Young said. "I can play with these guys, too, and people are finally noticing that." Randle wasn't far behind. He delivered a series of maneuvers that belied his 6-foot-9, 250-pound size. Two spectacular dunks and plenty of outside game highlighted Randle's 21-point, eight-rebound night. Starting shooting guard Aaron Harrison also impressed with 19 points, six assists and four steals, sinking 3 of 4 3-pointers, and 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein had 15 points, seven rebounds, five steals, three assists and two blocks. "Things can kind of get haywire when you're out in front of a crowd like that, but I think everybody was composed and played well," Randle said. "Pretty much what y'all saw today is how we get after it in practice." Point guard Andrew Harrison was the only starter who didn't shine, held scoreless on 0-for-2 shooting with just one assist in 10 first-half minutes, but he was hobbled. He sat out the second half with a right knee bruise that has hampered him in recent practices but is not considered serious. Although several players suited up for both sides, the projected starting five — the Harrison twins, Young, Randle and Cauley-Stein — played together on the Blue team for the first five minutes. They blitzed the White team, which initially included McDonald's All Americans Marcus Lee and Alex Poythress, to build a quick 21-6 lead.

Southern Nevada Elementary School Students Take Achievement to New Heights With Online Tool From PearsonJuly 11, 2011
aimsweb Provides the Tools for "Precision Teaching"; Helps School Earn Coveted Blue Ribbon Award
BLOOMINGTON, July 11, 2011—The 535 students at Helen M. Smith Elementary School are taking academic achievement to new heights, consistently scoring above state averages. In fact, the school was recently one of just two in Nevada and one of a select group across the nation to earn the coveted Blue Ribbon National School designation from the U.S. Department of Education.
Smith Elementary utilizes aimsweb ® — Pearson's web-based assessment and data-management system that enables teachers and administrators to assess and monitor student progress, address deficiencies, and recheck results quickly and often — to contribute to the school's success.
Four years ago, Smith Elementary implemented aimsweb as part of the Clark County School District (CCSD) Response to Instruction (RTI) initiative. aimsweb provides multiple assessments designed to efficiently benchmark and progress-monitor basic academic skills in reading, writing and math for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
"Smith Elementary is a prime example of the way that talented teachers around the country are using the data and tools available from aimsweb to personalize learning for all of their students, ensuring that everyone is on track to achieve in school, college and careers," said Carol Watson, president, Pearson's Clinical Assessment business. "The school's success is proof positive that if you put powerful data at teachers' fingertips it can truly transform teaching and learning and help student achievement soar."
A key component of aimsweb is a method of monitoring student progress through frequent, short assessments of basic skills. Each assessment, called a "probe," takes one to eight minutes to administer, and can be done individually or in groups.
Teachers enter assessment data into the aimsweb system for analysis and reporting, and data are available to teachers at any time. Because aimsweb is web-based, teachers can access it from school or home.
Smith Elementary teachers meet once a week to view and evaluate data to determine areas that need to be addressed. They also use the data when meeting with administrators to discuss classroom-level performance, or in parent conferences to talk about individual students.
After aimsweb assessments illuminate where interventions are needed, teachers and administrators employ a variety of measures to address areas of concern. They also offer before- and after-school tutoring, supplement the curriculum with online solutions to give opportunities for repeated practice, and train aides and volunteers to work with students in the classroom.
To learn more about aimsweb, visit www.aimsweb.com or call (866) 313-6194.

Kriti was photographed as she left Mumbai airport wearing a Zara top with distressed denims. Like her travel gear?
P.S: See Raveena wear this Zara top here.
Kriti Sanon Photographed At Mumbai Airport
Photo Credit: Viral Bhayani
She looks good. I thought it was Katrina at first look.
Am I the only one who doesn't get the appeal of this girl? She's so generic.
I can see where you are coming from. I like her persona(fashion wise), she (or her stylist) seems to have a knack for picking the right clothes in varied types and add accessories which suits her. She always looks pleasing to the eye. I for one would take this over the bollywood cookie cutter looks like horrid Shanaz hair color, sizes too small clothes or doing OTT to gather attention ending up to look like a wannabe.
@Avani: of course we all have our own likes.
I like to credit Kriti for her fabulous dressing sense in her case. I've seen all the stylists' work on these pages and none of them impressed me :)
Gaaah those tight jeans. I can feel MY legs going numb.
Why? they aren't made of metal.. You also get skinny jeans in really good soft material which you almost cannot feel. I wear those all the time.
First time i dislike her sandals choice. But she is traveling so I am gonna give her a pass. :P She looks nice like usual.
Agree.. That is one ugly pair of footwear!
No comments on her shades? They CLEARLY don't suit her. While looking for shades, go for the one that don't hide your eyebrows completely.. else they just end up making you look foolish, like the way they look here. That is a shade selecting rule everyone must swear by!
What? Who comes up with these silly rules ?
These aren't 'silly' rules. Shades such as those clearly look horrible with eyebrows hidden. As evident here. Forget what I said for a moment, kriti's shades clearly look bad on her.
A bit of eyebrow showing up look nice, feminine and chic! Else it just looks very overwhelming!
First I must say, interesting comments.
– i though it was Katrina until I read the name
– the jeans looks tight, definitely a size smaller than her size
– dont like the foot wear, doesn't go with the rest of the look

He may be easily replaceable in the sense that his production from last year can be replaced, but I think his future potential cannot easily be replaced. I wouldn't have a problem dealing Schenn (or Couturier or Laughton) because of the logjam at center, but I wouldn't say that Schenn is easily replaced. I think improving the defense while taking a hit on offense is a better way to look at it. Obviously his potential, like many others, may never be reached, but a 22 year old kid with potential like Schenn's is not easily replaced. He was looking at roughly a 50 point season at 22 years old (if this season was a full one). Those aren't numbers to scoff at.

"This is not a test. Listen closely. This is not a test." But I think she's wrong. I think this is a test. It has to be.
I have been super craving YA horror lately, and I'm a huge sucker for good zombie stories. This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers gave me a fix for both of those, and it gave me some stuff I didn't really know I wanted.
First, let me give you a quick summary. The bulk of this book takes place in a school where a group of teenagers is taking shelter from the zombie hoards while they try to plan a way to survive longterm. They're each carrying secrets, they're all hurting and scared, and they might be more dangerous to each other than the zombies outside.
The thing is, although This Is Not a Test has zombies and could technically be called a zombie book, it's not about the zombies. They're not remotely the focus of the story or even most of the scenes. This is a book that is truly about the characters and their dynamics with each other. They fight, they form alliances, those alliances fall apart and new ones form, they plot against each other, they save each other.
There are a million things in this book that I love – little details, big-picture things – but the one that I really want to talk about is our protagonist, Sloane. See, the day the zombie apocalypse started, Sloane was ready to kill herself. Not just feeling suicidal, not just ready – she had a plan. She was about to do it when the zombies came through her front door and everything descended into chaos. She's saved and pulled along by a group of fellow students, but she's not quite there.
She's not fighting for her life, she just happens to be surviving in a dying world.
She was ready to die. There's a certain numbness to being so suicidal that you've made a detailed plan, and that's where Sloane is. The zombie apocalypse didn't magically heal that. It doesn't instantly wake her up and make her realize that she wants to live. She continues to struggle with it throughout the book, and I love that. In a lot of apocalyptic stories, we see these extreme events either healing mental illness, or exacerbating it to the point that the person just completely breaks and dies.
In Sloane, we see nuances and complexity to her suicidal urges. We see how it's become part of her, and it's not something easily shaken off – but she also can't quite get herself to do it, because now she feels responsible for the others in her group. She doesn't want to give them a dead body to get rid of when they can't leave the school safely. There are a lot of storylines and emotional threads to this book, but this is the one I was the most invested in, the one I most badly needed to know the resolution for.
This Is Not a Test is emotionally intense, it's creepy, and you should absolutely read it.
And, of course, a reminder that you can still enter to win a BOOKMARK SIGNED BY STEPHANIE DIAZ and, if you're curious about who this new author is, check out my post about her and her debut novel, EXTRACTION.

Okay to wash wood treated with jasco termin-8 wood preservative?
We have a repaired stair with a stringer treated with jasco termin-8 clear wood preservative. I am not certain if it is zinc or copper based.
I've been waiting for the wood to dry before painting, but it is still sticky after 10 days. It's getting dirty, so I plan to wash the whole stairs and repaint.
Is it okay to wash the treated surface with something like Krud cutter? I would not want to wash the preservative out of the wood. Also should the treated surface be primed?
I would not wash any surface not fully cured
I suspect you have many weeks of curing ahead of you
(three weeks would be a min.)

With all of the road debris and other various environmental contamination that hits the car when driving, you car can become extremely dirty, incredibly fast. Shampoos and degreasers can remove the majority of the dirt and grime that reaches the surface, but some of this contamination can become embedded into the clearcoat and a clay bar will be needed to remove it. The Forma Clay Lubricant is packed with acrylic wetting agents that will allow you to provide an extremely slick and highly lubricated surface. This helps you use your clay bar safely and glide it effortlessly across the paint. Embedded contamination will be lifted and removed from the surface, while limiting the risk of adding imperfections into the paint during the clay bar process. Forma Clay Lubricant features a 100% synthetic formula that actually clings tightly to the surface, making it easier to use on any vertical panels of your vehicle. No more clay lube running down the side of your vehicle! Once you are finished using your clay bar, this clay lube will wipe away easily and you will be left with a surface that is as smooth as glass and properly prepped for any polishing and/or protection layers you want to apply. Another great feature is that this clay lube smells fantastic, making it even more of a joy to work with.

Risk Aversion Props USD, JPY
The safe haven currencies continue to benefit from further declines in the US stock market, with the dollar and the yen edging higher across the board. The equity market will likely continue to dictate direction as traders closely scrutinize corporate earnings reports in the coming weeks to gauge the impact of the recession on US corporations. The major equity bourses further relinquished recent gains, as the Dow Jones and Nasdaq were both lower by over 2% while the S&P 500 slumped by 1.9% in the afternoon session.
RBA Cuts Benchmark Lending Rate
The Aussie remained within range against the greenback following a 25-basis point rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia to its lowest level in nearly half a century to 3.0%. In the accompanying statement however, the Bank provided few details as to whether additional policy easing can be expected over the coming months. The RBA continued to acknowledge that Australia's economy is contracting, with capacity utilization falling from its peak, demand for labor declining and expectations for growth in labor costs seen further easing. Lastly, the Bank tempered the outlook for additional rate cuts, stating the current stance of monetary policy will provide significant support to domestic demand over the period ahead.
AUDUSD continues to shy away from its 3-month highs reached last Friday at 0.7228, hovering near the 0.7150-region in New York trading. Interim resistance is seen at 0.72, followed by 0.7230 and 0.7267 - the pair's January high. Subsequent ceilings will emerge at 0.73, backed by 0.7350 and 0.7410 - the 200-day moving average. On the downside, support starts 0.7120 followed by 0.71 and 0.7045. Additional floors will emerge at 0.70, backed by 0.6965 and 0.6920.
Euro Retreats
The euro extended losses, dipping beneath the 1.33-level against the dollar to 1.3226. Data released overnight revealed worst than expected Eurozone Q4 GDP, with the revised quarterly growth rate posting a 1.6% contraction compared with a 0.2% contraction previously while the annualized growth rate declined by 1.5%, reversing a prior reading of an increase of 0.6%.
In the coming session, the calendar consists of Germany's February trade balance and industrial orders.
EURUSD holds steady near 1.3270 with support starting at .13250, followed by 1.3220 and 1.32. Subsequent floors are eyed at 1.3160, followed by 1.3130 and 1.31. Gains will target resistance at 1.33, followed by 1.3340 and 1.3375. Additional resistance will emerge at 1.34, backed by 1.3430 and 1.3465.

Another business owner defends himself
Would-Be Robber Shot By Store Clerk, Deputies SayRelaxing in their Seffner backyard on Memorial Day evening, Ann and Jose Delafuento would not have been surprised to hear a few fireworks.
But Jose Delafuento knew he wasn't hearing Roman candles shooting off.
"It was definitely gunshots. Seven or eight of them. Pow, pow, pow," he said.
A few minutes later, the Delafuentos discovered the source of the shots as sheriff's cruisers hastened to the CNK Beverage Pit at 12002 E. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., nearly across from their home.
The couple said they could see a man lying on the ground west of the business with sheriff's deputies standing over him. A few minutes later, paramedics arrived and began CPR. He was then loaded into an ambulance and taken away.
The man lying on the ground has not been identified by sheriff's deputies. Lt. Sankar Montoute of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said he was pronounced dead at Brandon Regional Hospital as a result of gunshot wounds.
Sheriff's officials provided few details about what took place inside the CNK Beverage Pit on Monday evening.
Montoute said deputies responded to a call from the clerk at the beverage drive-through at 6:41 p.m.
He said the deceased man reportedly arrived on foot, entered the store alone and attempted to rob it, although deputies do not think the man was armed. The male clerk on duty shot the robber inside the store. The would-be robber then ran behind the store, then around the side where he collapsed. Montoute said three bullet casings were found but would not say how many bullets were fired or how many struck the deceased.
Montoute did not identify the clerk, however, family on the scene said the shooter was the store owner, Cres Vigil of Brandon. He and his wife, Karla, have run the store for about two years, leasing the property from Leroy Gonzalez. CNK stands for Cres, Nicole, the couple's daughter, and Karla.
The business is next to Able Body Day Labor, which is a popular hangout for the homeless. Several homeless men were gathered in the woods behind the CNK Beverage Pit drinking when shots rang out. One of the men said others he was with were detained by sheriff's deputies because they witnessed the would-be robber exit the building after being shot.
Neighbors say it isn't the first time the business has been victimized.
Karla Vigil was working alone one morning when she was robbed at gunpoint, said Robert Bathe, who has lived in the area about two years.

Lucid Dreaming and Mental Illness
Source: realitysandwich.com
I got the weirdest phone call last week. The editor of Gawker, A.J. Daulerio, contacted me, requesting information on lucid dreaming. (Lucid dreaming is knowing you're dreaming while firmly in the dreamstate). He said he's doing a new piece on lucid dreaming and Jared Loughner, who was sentenced yesterday with life in prison without parole for his deadly rampage in Tuscon, AZ in January 2011.
Turns out, Gawker had got a hold of some emails from Jared Loughner, and Daulerio has been going through them looking for new insights in the horrendous mass shooting that left six dead and wounded 14, including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. It got weird when Daulerio asked, "So, you talked to Jared, right?"
"Nope, never spoke with him," I replied.
"But you emailed with him, right?"
"No, never did. Uh...why?"
"Because we have an email from him to you."
That's when my nervous laughter began. Good to know that I laugh when I'm freaking out, it must be my Irish heritage. "Um, do you have a reply from me?" I asked, cringing.
No reply, he says... but maybe I have it?
I have no recollection so I tell him I'll get back to him. I got home and did a search for Loughner in my email database. Ping. With an increasingly icky feeling, I saw that not only had he emailed me, but I had responded.
Time stamp: February 2009. A full 23 months before the shooting.
I reread Loughner's email to me and instantly understood why I didn't remember it: it was very, very forgettable. By any reasonable standard, it was a polite inquiry about dreams, like the kind I get each and every day. No weirdness. No nonsensical queries. Even with the typo, it was a totally normal request, and I sent him a reply back a few days later and forgot about it.

Ava DuVernay Becomes First Black Woman Nominated for Best Director Golden Globe
Ava DuVernay tends to accept her awards (and her award nominations) with other people in mind. When she became the first African-American woman to win best director at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, she told MAKERS, "I don't wear it as a definitive declaration that I was the first best director who happened to be an African American woman because I know it's not true. You got to tip your hat to the sisters who came before."
Now, with the Thursday announcement that she is the first black woman to be nominated for a best director Golden Globe with her civil rights film Selma, DuVernay told The Hollywood Reporter her only hope was that her star, David Oyelowo, would get a Globe nod. He plays Martin Luther King, Jr. in the film. "All I was thinking in my heart, truly, was 'Please just David, just David,'" DuVernay said. "This man put every ounce of his heart and spirit and mind, every piece of his DNA into this picture. That's all I wanted."
She got her wish: Oyelowo was nominated for best actor, drama, and Selma—a Paramount film about the civil rights marches of Selma, Alabama—was nominated for best picture, drama.
When Selma locked picture on November 9, Oprah (who helped produce the film and acts in a small role) tweeted: "…the word 'amazing' though often overused is appropriate in describing Ava DuVernay. She's done the impossible." And when the call came through that Selma swept the Globes? USA Today reports she was singing, literally.
.@PhoebeFeed @AVAETC yes the word "amazing" though often overused is appropriate in describing Ava DuVernay. She's done the impossible.
— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) November 10, 2014
DuVernay has made history with her film and the awards that are now accompanying it. Selma will be released on December 25 in limited release before opening wide on January 9, 2015.

Sports Turf Crew Picks Up National Award
The Sports Turf Managers Association has announced their annual Field of the Year Winners. Making the prestigious national list is the University of South Carolina Upstate's Cyrill Softball Stadium, which was selected as the 2015 College Softball Field of the Year.
The USC Upstate Sports Turf Crew was recognized during the 27th annual STMA conference and exhibition in San Diego, Calif., in January.
"Preparing and maintaining Cyrill Stadium happens throughout the course of the year," said Bruce Suddeth, USC Upstate's director of building and landscape services. "It's not just the focus of our attention during softball season, but a part of our campus that receives care throughout the year, as we strive to provide a first-rate playable field for our Spartan Softball team."
In addition to Suddeth, the USC Upstate Sports Turf Team is comprised of Ben Williams, sports turf manager; Daniel Jackson, Cyrill Stadium technician; Travis Dill, Harley Park technician; David McNair, Howell Athletic Complex technician; James Shull, Howell Athletic Complex technician; and Chris Hawkins, softball coach.
Cyrill Softball Stadium, named for Frank Cyrill whose generous gift made construction possible, is located on the north edge of the campus. The stadium was constructed in stages as the field, dugouts, concrete seating area, and lights were completed for the 2002 season. The press box and stadium seating were added in 2004. The field was renovated in 2012 to improve field drainage and stability by re-grading and re-sodding the field and installing field drainage. During this time, dugout extensions were completed and restrooms were added.
This is the second time that the stadium has received the STMA Softball Field of the Year Award.

The Journal of Business Models is an open source, peer reviewed, international journal devoted to establishing the discipline of business models as a separately recognised core discipline in academia - as is already the case in practice.
The key audience of this journal is academics and dedicated consultants. As this journal aims at pushing the knowledge of the field to a higher level, and to becoming a core discipline in due course, the rigorousness of the review process and the quality of the published papers naturally lend themselves to an expert audience.However, policy-makers, politicians, entrepreneurs and students with high academic aspirations will also benefit substantially from the mix of articles in this journal. For audiences with lower academic aspirations in academic terms but wanting to get a feel for the newest insights, models and application techniques, we refer to the bookboon.com textbook Business Models: Networking, Innovating and Globalizing.
The vision of the Journal of Business Models is to constitute a rigorous international journal devoted to establishing the discipline of business models as a separately recognised core discipline in academia - as is already the case in practice.Our business mission is to create an open source journal that is free of the ties that come along with a publisher. In turn we wish to develop a new type of profitable business model for an academic journal.

The U.S. military has a new mobile app in its arsenal to help clinicians diagnose cases of traumatic brain injury in as little as five minutes in almost any setting, including forward-deployed combat environments.
The app, called the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA), runs on a variety of mobile platforms and recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. Once fully validated for battlefield use, Department of Defense officials say the software may be used to assist healthcare providers and to help assess fitness for duty and triage needs. DANA includes a library of standardized cognitive and psychological assessments, with three versions that range from a brief five-minute screen to a 45-minute complete assessment.
