Mar 23 2013: We are human due to our having reason, and the ability to use reason decipher between right and wrong, as Aristotle calls us rational animals. Also our ability to choose between what is right and what is wrong, or our free will, is the other component of our humanity. These both have to do with the nature of the human soul, which is divine in essence. There are characteristics of the human body that compose the human being that are different from animals, but that is not what makes us human.

The Port St. Lucie Mets won a marvelous pitching duel this evening by a 1-0 final. PSL left fielder Dustin Lawley led off the home second inning by drawing a walk off Bradenton Marauders starting pitcher Eliecer Navarro. After stealing second base, first baseman Rylan Sandoval singled Dustin over to third. Catcher Albert Cordero then stepped in against Navarro and drove a single to right, scoring Lawley from third. St. Lucie starting pitcher Angel Cuan made the Mets' lone run stand through six full innings, surrendering but two hits, walking none, and striking out seven. Eliecer Navarro wasn't doing too badly himself. Through six full innings, he allowed St. Lucie their lone run on four hits, walked one and struck out four.
The pitching duel continued through the seventh. Angel Cuan stayed strong, striking out the first two batters he faced, while retiring the Marauders in order. In the bottom of the seventh, Aderlin Rodriguez led off with a single to left. After retiring the next two batters, Navarro issued a walk to Albert Cordero, putting Rodriguez in scoring position. That finished Eliecer Navarro's evening. In relief, Joan Montero took over for Bradenton, and promptly struck out St. Lucie's number nine hitter, center fielder Gilbert Gomez to end the Mets' threat.
The ball was taken out of starting pitcher Angel Cuan's hand and placed into Jeurys Familia's for the eighth inning. Familia then struck out the first batter he faced, and retired the Marauders in order. In the bottom of the frame, Bradenton reliever Joan Montero likewise made short work of the Mets, inducing three ground ball outs. Scott Atchison took over for Jeurys Familia in the ninth, and followed suit, retiring the minimum three batters, striking out his first, and inducing two ground ball outs of his own – the last of which was a come-backer fielded by Atchison, to end the game.
Angel Cuan pitched seven full innings to earn his fifth victory of the season against just one loss. He turned back the first eight batters he faced, while overall, allowing just two hits, no runs, and no walks. He struck out nine Bradenton batters while lowering his ERA from 4.50 to 3.69.
The bullpen was served well by recovering pitchers Scott Atchison and Jeurys Familia, both making their first respective mound appearances since last pitching for the big club earlier in the month. Atchison, who last pitched on May 13th, earned this evening's save. Similarly, Jeurys Familia last pitched on May 8th against the White Sox.
The victory improved the PSL Mets' record to 27-20. However, they remain in second place, a considerable 7.5 games behind the division leading Fort Myers Miracle. The win also knotted their series against the Bradenton Marauders at a game apiece. Bradenton dropped to fifth place with a 20-29 record, and sit 15.5 games behind the Miracle. The rubber game is scheduled for Sunday, followed by a day off for Memorial Day.

Key Additions
Daniel Carcillo, Matt Frattin, Jeff Schultz, Ben Scrivens.
Key Subtractions
Jonathan Bernier, Dustin Penner, Brad Richardson, Rob Scuderi.
Last year: The Los Angeles Kings' defence of their first ever Stanley Cup Championship began and ended in the exact same manner, a loss to the team that would unseat them at the summit of the league, The Chicago Blackhawks.
Sandwiched between an opening night's 5-2 home loss and a Game 5, double-overtime, 4-3 elimination defeat was a credible and, at times, very strong season.
Goaltender Jonathan Quick, who was easily the Kings' best player during their title run, had surgery on his back and struggled during the 2012-13 regular season to regain the form that saw him pull an eighth-seeded team all the way to the Stanley Cup.
As the season progressed, Quick eventually returned to top form and, as a result, the Kings once again caught fire and rolled into the Conference Final before being bounced by the Blackhawks.
Forward Anze Kopitar was a dynamic offensive threat during the season for the Kings, as he led the team in points, posting 42 in 47 games. Where he struggled was in the playoffs as he found it tough to replicate that success, contributing only nine points.
Back together for a full season, Jeff Carter and Mike Richards took advantage of the chemistry the two built playing for the Philadelphia Flyers and were strong, not just during the season but right through the playoffs.
After a slow start, defenceman Drew Doughty was at his puck-moving best in 2012-13 and - although it took him more than half the season to find a goal - he had a respectable six goals and 16 assists by the end of the campaign.
This Year: The Kings have strived for stability since capturing the Stanley Cup and have, for the most part, achieved that goal. Heading into last season, they basically returned the same team and will do close to the same again this year.
Retaining the services of forwards Kyle Clifford, Trevor Lewis and Jordan Nolan will allow the team stability in their forward ranks.
Finally cashing in on goaltending prospect Jonathan Bernier in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs allowed the Kings to add forward Matt Frattin and they also picked up punisher Dan Carcillo in a deal with the Blackhawks.
While most of those players are considered depth pieces or bottom-six forwards, keep in mind this team still has the services of Richards, Kopitar, Carter, Justin Williams and captain Dustin Brown up front, with Doughty and Slava Voynov on the blueline.
Where Tyler Toffoli fits into this squad is another question that could go a long way to answering just how good this team can be going forward.
The Kings have a very deep core of players and have added both speed and toughness to their roster. If they can count on health, they will once again be very tough to beat in 2013-14.
Top Prospects: Having lost their 2013 first-rounder in the Jeff Carter trade, the Kings still did well to nab a solid talent early in the second round. Baie-Comeau forward Valentin Zykov stands at six-foot and checks in at over 200 pounds, when you can draft a player of that stature coming off a 40-goal year in the QMJHL you've done alright with a second-round pick.
With Tyler Toffoli likely headed to the main roster, the top prospect in the Kings' organization is 21-year-old forward Tanner Pearson, who spent last season with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League.
Originally drafted 30th overall, the final pick of the first round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Pearson had a great first pro season picking up 19 goals and 28 assists in 64 games.
Pearson is expected to push for his own roster spot this season and if he falls short, should not be too far down the list of players called on to fill in if injuries or other changes occur during the season.
Linden Vey, meanwhile, will be in his third AHL season and playing with both Toffoli and Pearson last season showed that he had some offensive flair in his game.
He posted a 67 point season in 74 games and continued to improve over the course of the season. Vey was drafted 96th overall in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and the 22-year-old is inching closer to his time in the NHL.
The Long and the Short – How will a full 82-game slate affect the Kings' performance after a shortened season?
The Kings are such a big and physical team with lots of guys up and down the lineup ready to deliver a punishing hit or drop the gloves and exact a physical toll.
The full season should really give this team the chance to grind and wear down their opponents, especially as the stretch drive leads into the playoffs.
This roster was built for a marathon and not a sprint so expect when the dust settles that they will be there and ready to compete once again for the Stanley Cup.
On the Books – What off-season moves did the Kings make to get themselves back in cap shape?
They haven't, at least not yet. At the writing of this preview, the Kings are actually sitting over the cap, so not only would they have to unload a salary before they could make any more additions to the roster, they are actually going to need to make a move before the season begins to be compliant in the first place.
Lombardi does have until the season begins to get his roster in order for the 2013-14 campaign and he was able to get Toronto to eat some salary in their acquisition of Bernier.
Long Division – A look at the intriguing possibilities ahead for the Kings after realignment.
On their way to a franchise-first Stanley Cup Championship in 2011-12, the first victim of the eighth-seeded Kings was the Vancouver Canucks. In a brief-but-physical five game series, a budding rivalry was touched off.
With these two teams now in the same division, there will be many chances to see how the Canucks speed and puck movement fairs against the Kings physical puck possession style of play.
As great as that match-up looks, the history between the Kings and the Edmonton Oilers is storied and includes the most famous trade in NHL history.
With both of these teams now playing in the Pacific Division, there will be many great nights of looking back while building new moments in the future.

Tyler Toffoli, LW - Still an NHL rookie, Toffoli put up 208 points in 133 games over his final two junior seasons in the Ontario Hockey League and made a smooth transition to the pros, scoring 28 goals and 51 points in 58 AHL games as a rookie pro last season. He added 11 points in 22 (regular season plus playoff) games, not looking the least bit out of place, with the Kings.
Coming into this season, then, Toffoli looks like a good bet to start on the second line with Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, the kind of opportunity that should allow him to showcase his scoring ability and perhaps play more than the 11 minutes per game he did in his first look with the Kings.
Click here for the latest Fantasy News!
Coming off his Conn Smythe-winning playoff run, Jonathan Quick rebounded from surgery to post an 18-13-4 record with a 2.45 goals-against average in 37 regular season games.
He then followed that up with a 1.86 playoff GAA, leading the defending champions back to the Western Conference Final where they were banished in five games by the Chicago Blackhawks.
The 27-year-old netminder will be in the first year of a 10-year deal that has a cap hit of $5.8 million per season.
His career numbers are also top notch. In 286 career games he has 149 wins, a 2.32 GAA and 25 career shutouts.
There are many great goaltenders around the league but the question is, is Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick the best of them?

Ever been faced with a source database that doesn't have a 'last modified date' which you can use to find new or changed data? It can be a nightmare to find the records which you need to add to your data warehouse, particularly if you have a fact table which has records that can be changed after inserting – you have to do things like checksums to try to determine if you need to update an existing record.
Today it hit me that you can use replication to find out changes in a source. The solution relies on replicating the source table to a new database, and marking the records in the subscriber with a modification date. Transactional replication is pretty low cost on the publishing database, and if the source database is pretty busy or runs 24×7, it can be quite a good idea to replicate it out anyway, and use the subscriber as the source for your data warehouse loads. Works really well if you are loading during working hours – perhaps you have to do an intraday load to get near real-time data into your warehouse for example.
Here's how it works. Create a publication on the source database that includes the tables and columns you need in order to build your warehouse tables. Do an initial synchronisation. You now have a subscriber that's being constantly kept up-to-date with the source. Here's a simple example of a source table.
It has a primary key of OrderNumber. This equates to the primary key which you'd find in a real OLTP system.
On the subscribed copy of this table, add an extra column at the end of the table with a data type of 'datetime'. You'll have to allow nulls because the records currently in the table (send from the publisher) won't have this column.
With this column in place, you can add a trigger to the table for insert and update to add the timestamp. The code you'd need would be something like:
CREATE TRIGGER UpdateModifiedDate
ON Sales
update Sales
set ModifiedDate = current_timestamp
where OrderNumber = (select OrderNumber from inserted)
Now when a record is added to the source system by any process, in the replicated subscriber, you will get something like this:
Updates are respected too:
So now you can use the Modified Date column as part of your extract management process in SSIS.
Good things about this solution:
- No changes on the client's source database
- Minimal overhead on the production system
- Because the trigger is fired on a subscriber database, you aren't adding a performance penalty to the OLTP system itself.
- Can easily be extended – you could have another column on the subscribed table which indicates if the change was an insert or an update. And you could track deletes the same way, by having a second table on the subscriber into which you record deleted order numbers using an ON DELETE trigger.
And a couple of potentially bad things about this solution:
- On the initial synch you won't have this column populated – but you could soon fix that with a quick UPDATE statement.
- If the subscription is ever re-initialised you will lose your Modified Date column because the schema will be synched back to the publisher and you will have to re-add the column. But you'd know that all the records pushed in by the re-initialisation were already in your data warehouse so you could ignore records that had a null in the column.
- As with any transactional replication, generating the initial snapshot can be a rather painful process consuming a huge amount of server resources – on a big table you really need to do this in an outage window.
Let me know if this sounds useful but you need help implementing it.

By Colin Young, Day Staff Writer
Publication: theday.com
New London — The Board of Education on Thursday evening voted unanimously to appoint Terrence P. Carter of Chicago the next superintendent of the city's school system.
Carter is currently the director and chief academic officer of the Academy for Urban School Leadership, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that works as a division of the city school system to turn around poorly performing schools. Carter has been director and chief academic officer of the academy, which manages 29 Chicago public schools serving more than 17,000 students, since 2010.
A native of Miami, Fla., Carter will relocate from the Windy City to the Whaling City and take the reins at New London Public Schools on Aug. 1.
"I'm coming home to the East Coast to join the New London community in creating the best learning environment for our children," Carter said in a statement. "I know from personal and professional experience that children who have dynamic teachers, school administration, significant instruction, extra-curricular experiences and high, no excuses expectations, do succeed."
Carter, 49, holds a bachelor of arts degree from Rutgers University; master's degrees in public health and social welfare from the University of California at Berkeley, and a doctorate in leadership and adult learning from Lesley University.
Carter was the unanimous choice of the 12-member superintendent search committee, which included all seven Board of Education members. All seven board members spoke enthusiastically Thursday about Carter and his qualifications.
"I find that his collaborative work ethic, his inclusiveness and his knowledge of the budgetary process will benefit the district," Board of Education President Margaret Mary Curtin said. "His past experiences will fit in very well with our district's magnet approach, and I have confidence that you will see our schools turnaround under his guidance and leadership."
Before joining the Academy for Urban School Leadership, Carter was principal of Chicago's Clara Barton Elementary School, which received an Illinois Academic Improvement Award for showing upward trends in test scores for at least three consecutive years.
He has also served on Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Early Childhood Education Task Force.
"Dr. Carter has devoted his career to providing high performing, rigorous schools for urban children," state-appointed Special Master Steven J. Adamowski said in a statement. "As an instructional leader he will be an asset to New London and Connecticut as our state continues to close the achievement gap by redesigning schools and systems of schools that enable all students to reach high standards."
Adamowski said the board's selection of Carter received "the enthusiastic concurrence" of state Commissioner of Education Stefan Pryor.
As a condition of the state's involvement in the city's school system, the board's candidate had to first be approved by Pryor.
Before becoming an educator, Carter was employed as chief learning officer of Flextronics International, a supply chain solutions corporation, and as vice president of human resources for The Baan Co., a global software developer.
Curtin said the board's attorney and Carter's attorney have begun contract talks. The final agreement must be approved by the Board of Education.
In April 2013, the previous Board of Education voted 6-1 to not renew the contract of Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer, whose last day on the job will be June 30.
Curtin said the board has not yet decided if it will appoint an acting superintendent to run the school system between Fischer's departure and Carter's arrival.
Carter is expected to visit New London on July 2-3 to meet with city leaders, administrators, teachers, parents and community members.
"I need to meet with those groups to find out exactly what their perceptions and facts around New London Public Schools are and how we can work together to make it better," he said in the statement.

Sheriff's deputies in Burnett County, Wisconsin suspended the search for a missing 3-year-old girl on Wednesday evening after her body was found.
"It is a tragic situation," said Burnett County Sheriff Dean Roland. "A precious life was lost."
Officials say Reena Williams' body was found at about 4:50 p.m. about 25 yards from her home in 3 feet of water. Investigators are now in the process of draining the canal to look for evidence.
An autopsy to determine the cause of death has been scheduled.
Williams' father was the last to see his daughter alive at the family home at about 6 p.m. on Tuesday; however, the sheriff said she was not reported missing until an hour and a half later.
Her mother, Jenna Danish, said her daughter loves to go fishing and play outside.
"I came outside, I called for her, and the dog she had been playing with all day came up from the river and she was nowhere to be found," Danish said, describing the moment Tuesday night she realized her daughter was missing. "Where she went, the dog went. Wherever the dog went, she went."
Danish told FOX 9 News it was normal for her daughter to play outside, but she insisted the girl would never wander off; however, Roland confirmed that neighbors found the girl wandering near her home twice on the day she went missing. They will be interviewed as part of the investigation.
By 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the search was narrowed to a number of "high probability" zones within a half-mile of the girl's last-known location.
Also on Wednesday afternoon, divers set up near the Danbury dam as they opened the gates to check for Reena. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources also had boats on the water looking for the girl.
Reena's nanny told FOX 9 News that the girl knew not to go into the nearby Yellow River or woods by herself. The family's home is on a peninsula surrounded by the river and Yellow Lake.
"I'm flabbergasted," Danish said. "I have no idea what to think. I have no idea where she's at. I wish she'd just come home."
After her daughter's body was found, Danish thanked the Danbury community for coming together to help in the search.
The large-scale volunteer ground search got underway at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Throughout the day, volunteers poured in to the Danbury baseball park, where the command center for the search was set up. Some came as far as 100 miles, and others got on horseback to help scour the 40-acre peninsula.
Volunteers were asked to bring heavy boots, rugged clothing, bug spray, hats and gloves before going in to the dense forest.
"The terrain is so thick that it has to be done shoulder to shoulder," said Sgt. Ron Wilhelm of the Burnett County Sheriff's Office.
Minnesota State Patrol and Iowa State Patrol helicopters searched the area from above, and a K-9 unit helped with the ground search. The National Guard even flew a tight grid with infared cameras, but no sign of the girl was found.
Officials are also went door-to-door -- even searching Dumpsters; however, they emphasize that they have no reason to suspect foul play at this point.

Romantic Lamar Odom
Khloe Kardashian says her husband Lamar Odom often sends her flowers when he has to be away for work.
Lamar Odom sends Khloe Kardashian flowers when he has an away game.
The LA Clippers basketball player often has to travel for work but Khloe, 28, revealed her romantic husband likes to show her that he is thinking of her, even though he's not there.
She told E! News: ''I am very blessed and lucky. Lamar will out of the blue just send me flowers just because he's like 'I miss you' while he's on the road or whatever.''
While Lamar will be working on Valentine's Day (14.02.13), Khloe doesn't mind because she and Lamar don't just celebrate their love on one day of the year.
She explained: ''Well, I am a big holiday person, but I don't stress...I think a lot of people put a lot of emphasis on Valentine's Day and it almost makes their boyfriend or husband or significant other maybe feel a little bit nervous.
''Lamar does have a game on Valentine's Day in Los Angeles, which, I'm used to; he typically has a game every holiday. But I wish people didn't put so much emphasis on that, there shouldn't be one day out of the year where you're like, 'Oh I love you let's go to dinner and have candlelight.' I want that to be like every day. And it should be.
''It's still fun and we'll get each other a card or flowers or something like that but it's more mellow for us.''

Healthy Schools Campaign
Partnership to Reduce Asthma & Obesity in Latino Schools
Rochelle S. Davis
Project Description:
Schools serving minority and low-income students suffer disproportionately from environmental hazards. These hazards include poor indoor air quality and nutritionally poor food choices which contribute to increased rates of asthma-related conditions and obesity in these communities. The Community Partnership for Healthy School Environments, a four year project, consists of community-based organizations, research scientists, and health care providers. Partners are identifying specific school environmental health concerns in targeted Latino communities of Chicago through discussions, assessments, and audits. The communities help guide the project's direction through their involvement in each step of data collection, development of interventions, and evaluation. By having an active role in the project's method and process, the communities not only understand the importance of good school environmental health, but also gain the tools and resources to effectively address environmental stressors that will improve their overall quality of life. The goal of this project is to reduce disparities of asthma-related illnesses and obesity in the quality of care, quality of life, and diagnoses of these conditions in Latino communities. The project has four aims:
- develop a better understanding of the impact of the school environment, and a large school district's policies that influence this environment, on asthma and obesity;
- develop a common language between 'professionals' and 'community members/parents' that will be used to activate, then resonate with school administrators;
- evaluate two different models of community organizing in a school-based setting; and
- open lines of communication and working partnerships between schools and community health providers.

Walker's Takes a Walk in Italian
By Penny Gray
The owners of Walker's, Tribeca's favorite neighborhood eatery at the corner of North Moore and Varick streets, are rolling out an Italian alternative to their American fare next door at the new pizzeria Girello ("Walker" in Italian, posing a potential confusion for the multilingual)."This is a real departure for us," said Gerard Walker, co-owner of the eponymous restaurant. "We've been the neighborhood regular for the last 30 years, so we decided it was time to become the neighborhood Neapolitan thin-crust pizza joint as well. We love the idea of evoking the same warmth with varying cuisines—that's why we created Girello."
Whereas Walker's has all of the ambiance of a nostalgic American saloon, Girello has been decorated with a decidedly European feel—it looks like a simple, clean trattoria in a fading southern Italian town. "We had the option of expanding Walker's into the space," co-owner Scott Perez said, "but we thought it'd be fun to create the same sort of friendly environment using superior products, just different flavors."
Walker and his partners, Perez and Martin Sheridan, first opened Walker's three decades ago and have enjoyed steady, prosperous business there ever since. The secret to their success? "Err on the side of the customer," Walker confided. "New York restaurant customers are the best in the world. If you treat them well and serve them quality food, they'll return. Never, ever take them for granted."
Walker says it's the customers who keep him in the business. "I have the opportunity every single day to make somebody's night special. A customer I haven't seen in a while will come in, and I'll say, 'Where ya been?' And he'll look at me like he can't believe anybody would remember him. You make someone's day like that. How many people get to show up to work and do that?"
Perez is quick to add that it's not just the customers that keep Walker's (and now Girello) in business, it's also the staff. "There's such a joy and an instant gratification in working with people who understand how to treat customers well," he said. When the restaurant was the only spot in the neighborhood that remained open during Hurricane Irene, both men agreed it was the combined goodwill of the staff and customers that made the experience such an enriching one.
Girello may have missed the hurricane, but the new restaurant has not been without its own complications. The toughest aspect of opening the new joint? "Perfecting the dough," Walker said. "For water, yeast and flour, there's a lot that can go wrong before you get it right. We actually had emails from chefs all over the city writing in about 'dough behaviors.' Luckily, we mastered it. We mastered the dough."
And dough there is in abundance. With nearly 30 toppings to choose from and the choice of either a margherita or white base, Girello is the controlling pizza-topper's dream. When pressed for a favorite combination of flavors, both Perez and Walker are without answers. "Nah," Perez said. "It's all good. It all comes from the same dough, right?"
Also on offer are a handful of Italian and Italian-American sandwiches (including the New Orleans-style muffuletta), salads and appetizers; look out especially for the pancetta wrapped shrimp and the oven-roasted P.E.I. mussels. And in true Walker's style, Girello offers plenty of alcohol to wash down a meal—a selection of Italian wines and a more international choice of beer, including Peroni and Heineken, along with specialty brews like Victory Hop Devil IPA and Ommegang Witte.
"It's all just been a lot of fun," Walker said with a glow. "Opening Girello now has reminded me of what it felt like to open Walker's all those years ago—makes me feel like a young man again. Maybe that's what we mean when we say Walker's is the sort of place that makes the old feel young and the young feel like they've been there forever. Judging by the way I feel, Girello is following that tradition."
Girello, 16 N. Moore St. (betw. N. Moore & Varick Sts.), 212-941-0109; 11 a.m.–11 p.m.

Writing Center consultants know how to use punctuation, and with familiarity of this writing necessity comes both love and dislike for certain punctuation marks.
Reba Bucyznski's favorite is the semicolon. She described the mark as a healthy boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, where two clauses are together just enough of the time but yet still independent.
"If you can use one, you're a pretty special person," she said.
Emily Hammersborg, on the other hand, enjoys the dash.
"I like the dash -- not the hyphen -- the dash. It's just such a wonderful way of expounding on something when writing," she said. "Look at me, so here's a dash. It's not subdued in parentheses. I would use it all the time if I could, but it overwhelms a paper."
Caio Santos has his own simple reason for loving his favorite punctuation mark - the colon. "I love the suspense it creates," he said.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - We'll find out on Thursday who's still in the running to become the next president of the University of Wisconsin System.
Spokesman David Giroux says the UW will release the names of the finalists to replace Kevin Reilly, who said in July he would leave at the end of the year.
A nearly 20-year-old state law requires state and local governments to release the finalists' names for their top positions. However, at least a couple of members of the University's Board of Regents said they knew that a number of candidates shied away from applying, because they feared their names would get out.
Last week, GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said the state should not discourage strong applicants from applying -- and so he'd consider a bill to keep the finalists secret for the UW's presidency and campus chancellors.
That brought strong criticism from the head of the state's Freedom of Information Council, who said the disclosure law is meant to prevent hiring abuses.

If a sprinter does indeed win the World Championship Road Race in Copenhagen, Paris-Tours could be our first chance to see to see the new rainbow jersey. And given it's reputation as a sprinter's race, 2011 might be the first time since 2006 that we'll see the World Champion win a major event soon after taking his world championship victory.
In Tours, look for a rematch of Sunday's World Championship Road Race, with many of the same riders playing major roles. And with former winners Philippe Gilbert, Oscar Freire, and Alessandro Petacchi likely to take the line, there's bound to be no shortage of contenders for one of the season's remaining big victories.
Men to Watch: Philippe Gilbert, Thor Hushovd, Oscar Freire, Peter Sagan, Edvald Boasson Hagen

In \ te \ rim + Milliframe + The Art of Re Use Docuview
Yesterday afternoon we at @milliframe got an opportunity to meet the collective behind in⎮tər⎮im, A group of determined minds that is not only creating a movement but in the process are redefining an idea, THRIFTING. An art, yes I will repeat it, an ART that is often mistaken for scavenging old, discarded or "vintage" clothing usually reserved only for bottom feeders or the less fortunate is now being transformed every 6 months for a 2-Day event unlike any other.
The pieces in this collection were procured and delicately transported here across state lines from Toronto, Canada to present you with an experience that is truly authentic and unique in its design. They reflects the effort(s) that were invested in completing this venture and it is truly a masterpiece worth seeing in person. Besides the fact that it is a one day event, all the pieces in this collection are one-of-a-kinds and under $50. The theme ever so transparent, from the giant dreamcatcher in the pop-up shop's storefront window to the throwing stick detailed with Navajo handwritings clandestinely set upon a stack of books atop the clothing fixture that showcases colorful native garbs among other trendy and fashionable item that correlate with the overall scheme of things.
At three items per consumer and everything under fifty bucks be prepared to be well taken care of and catered to as the in⎮tər⎮im staff are seasoned veterans at providing the public with an excellent medium to express one's individuality through fashion. The new movement resembles a traveling circus bringing along their fashion ideas, Creative themes and basically living on the road with pop up shops planned across the map. We hear the next stop is L.A. if so, it will surely be another amazing event.
Special thanks to: Sean + Bernard + Othello + Courtney & in | ter | im staff for choosing NY as well as "BK Circus" for hosting this event.

I lived here for a little over three years and enjoyed my stay. The apartment was nice and clean when I moved Read More in. Whenever we needed something from the maintenance team they fixed it quickly and were always very nice. The office staff were also very nice and professional every time I interacted with them. I really liked that they have a security company come through at night to cruise the parking lot. It was always a quiet place where I felt safe and comfortable.

Largest-Ever Study Examines Priorities and Demographics of Black Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender People
A national, multi-city study of Black gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people released today documents a significant prevalence of parenting, high levels of political participation, and widespread experiences of racism and homophobia.
Say It Loud: I'm Black and I'm Proud is a collaboration among nine Black GLBT Pride organizations, a team of Black researchers, and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Representing the largest national, multi-city sample of Black GLBT people ever surveyed on such a wide array of topics, the study also found HIV/AIDS, hate violence, and recognition of same-sex relationships to be the top policy priorities of Black GLBT people.
"This report provides a first-time comprehensive look at the demographics, experiences, and priorities of Black gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people," said Dr. Juan Battle and Dr. Cathy J. Cohen, the study's lead researchers and primary authors. "It contains significant policy implications for the predominantly White GLBT community, and for the predominantly straight African American community. This report also provides much-needed data on an underserved and understudied population which is an integral part of both the Black community and the GLBT community." Joining Dr. Battle and Dr. Cohen as authors of the report are Dorian Warren, Dr. Gerard Fergerson, and Suzette Audam.
The data was collected as part of the Black Pride Survey 2000, a research collaboration between NGLTF's Policy Institute and nine U.S. Black GLBT Pride celebrations during the summer of 2000. A total of 2,645 participants were surveyed at Philadelphia Black Pride, Houston Splash, Washington, D.C. Black Pride, Oakland Black Pride, Chicago Black Pride, Los Angeles's At the Beach, Detroit's Hotter Than July, New York Black Pride, and Atlanta's In the Life.
Among the key findings of the report:
- Respondents identify the most important issues facing Black GLBT people as: HIV/AIDS, hate violence, and marriage/domestic partnership;
- A high prevalence of parenting is revealed: 40 percent of women, 18 percent of men, and 15 percent of transgender people reported having at least one child;
- Half of the respondents say racism is a problem in the White GLBT community;
- Two-thirds report that homophobia is a problem within the Black community;
- In terms of sexual identity, three quarters identify as "gay" or "lesbian," 11 percent "bisexual," and one percent "transgender";
- More than half say their church or religion view homosexuality as "wrong and sinful";
- The Black Pride sample is slightly less Democratic, and more Republican, than the Black population as a whole. At the same time, the Black Pride sample is more liberal than the Black population as a whole, with 47 percent identifying as liberal versus only 31 percent of respondents in the 1993 National Black Politics Study.
Say It Loud: I'm Black and I'm Proud is the third report released by NGLTF's Policy Institute in the last year that examines issues of concern to GLBT people of color and low-income people of all backgrounds. The previous two studies examined the effects of welfare reform on GLBT families and the impact of social discrimination on HIV risk among Latino gay men. All three reports are available at http://www.ngltf.org/library. For more information about the Racial and Economic Justice Initiative or the Black Pride Survey Project, please visit http://www.ngltf.org/pi/blackpride.htm
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Government Departments Express Full Support for Dubai Film Festival
Tue Nov 30,2004
Representatives of nine key Dubai Government departments and the federal Ministry of Education met with organizers of the Dubai International Film Festival yesterday to fine tune the countless logistical arrangements in place for the six-day Festival.
From traffic routing to paramedic services, entry requirements to customs clearance, every aspect of the Festival was finalized, DIFF organizers said, thanks to the active participation of Dubai Civil Aviation, Dubai Ports and Customs, Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defense, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Dubai Municipality, the Department of Health and Medical Services, Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing, Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department and the Ministry of Education.
"The support of the Dubai Government and federal government is invaluable," said Abdulhamid Juma, CEO of Dubai Media City. "We are all committed to making the Festival a safe, exciting and rewarding experience for all Festival visitors and for Dubai and the UAE, and working together helps us to accomplish all our goals."
Mohamed Kahoor, Director of the Festival's Government Relations and Festival Security team, said all the government departments have been very helpful in the three months since Festival preparations picked up speed.
"Everyone has certainly been going the extra mile," he said. "We want to provide the best possible experience to Dubai's guests and all other Festival-goers, from the minute visitors land at the airport."
Each of the departments has a contribution to make, he added, whether it is expediting the clearance of film prints and special equipment from overseas, ensuring safety and security, providing emergency and other health services, back-up generators, easing traffic flows or assisting visitors with tourist information. The Ministry of Education is overseeing student volunteers from the Zayed University and Higher Colleges of Technology.
"This is a lifetime experience for the students, especially with the exposure they will get to the international film industry," Kahoor said. "In addition, all the government representatives are also very excited because for them it is a chance to meet peers from a completely different field."
The Dubai International Film Festival will be held from December 6 and 11, 2004, and will feature approximately 75 films including features, retrospectives and short films. The Festival is divided into 10 distinct programs, each focusing on a particular Festival theme. DIFF is presented by Dubai Media City and its presenting sponsors are Dubai Duty Free, Emirates, Madinat Jumeirah Arabian Resort-Dubai, and Nakheel. DIFF Gold Sponsors are DOM International, The Kanoo Group and National Bank of Dubai, and Silver Sponsors are Arabian Radio Network, Atlas Telecom, Dubai Radio Network, E-Vision and Motivate Publishing.

Once upon a time I bought six bottles of 2003 St. Cosme Chateauneuf du Pape. They were fairly inexpensive, like $22 ea, and that plus the winery's good reputation among certain of my friends must have convinced me I'd like them enough at that price even though I basically sat out the 03 vintage in the Southern Rhone. At that time we had never owned St. Cosme before, possibly had never tried any--not sure now.
Anyway, I opened one of these maybe three years ago and found it staunchly tannic and unyielding, so didn't open another till this past week. Popped and poured, the impression on this latest bottle was at first winningly youthful, but the tannins seemed to double in intensity with every sip and before we could get halfway through the first glass, the wine had become undrinkably tannic. The alcohol was also pretty seriously on display, too. We put the remainders back in the bottle and opened something else. 36 hours later I tested what we'd set aside and found the same aggressive tannins chomping the heels of oxidative, pruney fruit. Horrible--and I have four more bottles? Ouch.

On one hand, no one looks more dour in paparazzi photos than Reese Witherspoon; on the other hand, they do tend to follow her inside fro-yo shops, which is probably irritating. Here's a less-than-pleased-looking Reese carrying an especially pleasing tan Mulberry Tassel Bag during a quick yogurt stop in Hollywood. Hardcore Mulberry fans will notice that this bag is basically the Mulberry Alexa, but with massive tassels. The black suede version of this very bag is available for $1833 at MyTheresa.
This classic Mulberry fits in perfectly with Reese's preppy aesthetic and is befitting of her rather epic handbag stash, which is rife with all the biggest and most coveted designer names. It's heavy on the Givenchy and Lanvin, with a pretty exhilarating mix of Hermes, Chanel, Celine, Valentino and The Row – you know, all the truly high-end stuff reserved for A-list celebs. You can take the full tour of her collection here in our "The Many Bags of Reese Witherspoon" post.

Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Deere & Co., the world's largest farm-equipment maker, raised its full-year earnings forecast and reported quarterly profit that topped analysts' estimates as Brazilian farmers bought more tractors.
Net income for the three months through July rose to $996.5 million, or $2.56 a share, from $788 million, or $1.98, a year ago, the Moline, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. That exceeded the $2.18 average of 19 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Fiscal third-quarter equipment sales climbed to $9.32 billion from $8.93 billion.
"Deere's success is a reflection of considerable strength in the farm sector, especially in North and South America," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Samuel Allen said in the statement.
For the fiscal year through October, net profit will be about $3.45 billion, Deere said today, compared with a May forecast of $3.3 billion. The outlook for equipment sales is unchanged, with Deere seeing a 5 percent gain.
"They have been gaining share in Latin America," Stephen Volkmann, a New York-based analyst for Jefferies & Co. who rates the shares a hold, said in an Aug. 9 interview. "That market has been going gangbusters."
Record soybean production in Brazil is supporting equipment demand, Bloomberg Industries analyst Karen Ubelhart said in an Aug. 8 report. Brazil's tractor sales have increased 26 percent year-to-date, according to industry group ANFAVEA. In July, tractor sales in the country rose 17 percent from a year earlier while combine sales gained 46 percent, ANFAVEA said.
Deere's Central and South American equipment sales more than doubled to $3.6 billion in fiscal 2012 from 2007, according to the company. U.S. and Canada made up 64 percent of Deere's $36.2 billion in sales last year.
Deere rose 0.6 percent to $83.91 yesterday in New York. The shares have declined 2.9 percent this year.
(Deere scheduled a conference call to discuss the earnings report at 10 a.m. New York time, which can be accessed at the company's website.)

Eddie Saenz remembers exactly what was said when he tried to change the station as he and his father were driving across their Texas ranch.
"You don't change the radio when Willie Nelson is playing."
Modern country music isn't just for ranching families in Texas — other Americans are finding their down-home roots, too. Three of iTunes' top 10 songs are by artists with country backgrounds, and this week, YouTube launched an all-things-country music channel.
The songs luring a new generation of country lovers don't sit well with some traditionalists. Elements of pop fused with old-fashioned southern riffs are dividing country purists from the genre's new guard.
"Country music kind of used to be this thing where you grew into it as an adult," said Saenz, a commercial music junior at Belmont University in Nashville. "You used to hear your life stories come out more as you grew up. And I feel like it's not really that way anymore."
Saenz, who began playing guitar as a 9-year-old, traces his music roots to his dad not even letting him touch the dial as the two drove around the ranch in their white Ford pickup truck. Now, Saenz listens to classic "outlaw-country" artists such as Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson on his own.
"Man, I actually really love this music now," he said. "He (his dad) kind of forced it on me, so it kind of just became what I liked, what my life is."
But Saenz concedes today's country music doesn't leave much room for the classics. Country star Blake Shelton stirred up Nashville in January when he argued that "nobody wants to listen to their grandpa's music" anymore.
"I don't care how many of these old farts around Nashville (are) going, 'My God, that ain't country,' " Shelton said in a Great American Country TV special. "Well, that's because you don't buy records any more, jackass. The kids do, and they don't want to buy the music that you were buying."
What the kids are buying is music from artists such as Taylor Swift, Hunter Hayes and Rascal Flatts, says Belmont entertainment studies junior Amelia Varni. As an intern at Warner Brothers, Varni screens songs for rising country musicians.
Unlike Saenz, Varni said she is excited about what different genres bring to country.
"I really appreciate old country music, that's what I grew up on," Varni said. "But I still love to see how it's evolving right now, and I love seeing how artists from other genres are working with country artists."
Varni thinks new influences in country factor into its popularization throughout different areas of the country. Not everyone can relate to songs about growing up in the backwoods or plowing a field, she said, but the messages are easy to understand.
"Right now, it seems like Nashville and country music are at its peak," she said. "I have friends in California who never liked country and were never interested in it, and now they're watching Nashville on ABC every week."
Country rocker Ben Dukes, then, might be an anomaly. The old-school country singer is promoting his album through a Kickstarter he jokingly said will "save" America from pop country.
Dukes, 33, says he isn't completely against new country music — he even likes some older Taylor Swift songs. Still, he says, nothing beats the Garth Brooks concert he was at nearly 20 years ago.
"They're great artists," Dukes said of new country stars. "I think throughout their career of writing and performing they're growing with country music. But someone's always going to write something that's going to be pissing someone off."

7. They don't rest on their laurels: New Lego Mindstorm Series (about to be released):
8. They let pop culture speak through the brand:
9. They live the fun-damental promise of the product:
10. They are a call to action: Play!
