Man Sentenced for Posing as 17-year-old Boy in Los Angeles Sex Crime
A man who posed as a 17-year-old boy online was recently sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in Los Angeles after he convinced several young girls to perform sex acts during online video chats.
The high school dean convicted of the Los Angeles sex crime was ordered to pay almost $3,000 in restitution to one of the victims, according to Mercury News.
The defendant pleaded guilty in December to the federal charges of using the Internet to induce a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and producing child pornography.
Our Pasadena sex crime attorneys understand that the top priority of anyone facing these allegations is to acquire a strong defense team to save your reputation and to fight for your rights. Defending yourself in court is oftentimes not strong enough. Defending your reputation and fighting for your rights when it comes to terms of probation and the requirements of sex offender registration can be equally critical. If you are facing arrest or investigation, you are urged to seek the immediate advice of a qualified lawyer.
According to court records, the man created a false MySpace profile and used it to disguise himself as a 17-year-old boy named "Jamie." He then enticed girls to engage in sexual acts during webcam chats and uploaded the videos online.
The increasing popularity and efficiency of the Internet has led to a rise in such charges. These charges are all too often misfiled. There have been a number of documented cases of file-sharing networks and computer viruses that are found responsible for the presence of such illicit images and videos. In many cases, when child porn or any other type of pornography is found on a computer, it may be someone other than the computer's owner responsible for the images or videos. Shared networks run a high risk of unknown file transfer as well.
In all cases it is critical to contact an attorney experienced in sex crimes as early as possible in the process. Speaking to investigators without an attorney present is not in your best interest. Too often, defendants will attempt to talk themselves out of trouble. The embarrassment of facing sex crime charges may also give police leverage in encouraging defendants to talk when it would be in their best interest to remain silent until first speaking to a qualified criminal defense attorney. Even in cases where a defendant is offered probation, or other desirable sentencing option, the devil is often in the details. The terms of probation and the long-term ramifications of sex-offender registration must also be considered.

(2) to provide for final and binding arbitration of any dispute which cannot be settled by the parties, with respect to the interpretation, application, or enforcement of the provisions of the protective arrangements;
(3) to provide that an employee who is unable to secure employment by the exercise of his or her seniority rights, as a result of actions taken with financial assistance obtained under this subchapter, shall be offered reassignment and, where necessary, retraining to fill a position comparable to the position held at the time of such adverse effect and for which he is, or by training and retraining can become, physically and mentally qualified, so long as such offer is not in contravention of collective bargaining agreements relating thereto; and
(c) Subcontracting
The arrangements which are required to be negotiated by the parties or prescribed by the Secretary of Labor, pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section, shall include provisions regulating subcontracting by the railroads of work which is financed by funds provided pursuant to this subchapter.

Belgian Beef Stew
Photo: Susie Cushner
The secret to any great beef stew is to brown the meat well. Pat it dry with paper towels before cooking; damp meat will not brown as easily. Serve the stew with mashed potatoes.

- 1/4 pound bacon, diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pounds boneless chuck, bottom or top round, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup cognac or other brandy
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven or ovenproof stockpot until brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to the fat remaining in the Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and brown very well, a few pieces at a time (don't crowd the Dutch oven), removing them when done. Brown the onions in the remaining fat, remove, and set aside. Discard any remaining fat.

Spread the bread with the mustard and lay on top. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat, cover, and place in the oven. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is fork-tender, stirring occasionally. Before serving, skim the fat from the sauce. Stir in the vinegar.
- KEEP IT: Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days. To freeze, place in airtight containers or heavy-duty zipper bags up to 3 months. When reheating, warm gently over medium-low heat.

I logged on this morning to write, not exactly sure what I had to say but determined to write something. Then I got busy changing some things in my side bar. Check out my new Tag Cloud and my Flickr photos!
But I wonder what I am avoiding? Why am I keeping myself busy with the layout instead of the content? What is stuck inside me that needs to be released?
So many of you have encouraged me to not be silent anymore. Thank you. I know that my words are valuable; that my voice needs to rise to a crescendo and speak out across the mountains. Yet I keep making veiled references and vague nods to other's words.
Even today, I am not sure I can speak out. I want to. Then I look at the clock and see it is time for everyone to wake up, have breakfast, get moving with the day and I realize I have squandered the opportunity again.
I cannot do this, day after day. The cliff is before me and I just need to jump. I won't be surprised to find wings and instead of plummeting to my death, I will soar above the clouds, basking in the warmth of the sun.
So here we go . . .
I am tired of going to the same place Sunday morning after Sunday morning and no one acts as if they know me or as if they care. Two years of my life, my time and my energy have been spent. Five months ago words were said to me that left me feeling wounded, incredibly wounded, at a vulnerable time in my life. I have talked about it before, I think I have mentioned it here, how I felt like an abused woman, lying in the mud in front of her house. My mind is screaming, "You can't be hit anymore! Get up and walk away, just GO and don't look back! If you go back in, you had better just shut up, quit making trouble. That is the only way you can survive it." I went back in and embraced the silence.
There is no way that the person that spoke to me (and I won't call it a conversation. I couldn't say anything. My emotions sent me straight into flight mode … my heart was pounded, my stomach churning, sweat pouring down and all I could think was, "Get out, get out, get out!")… there is no way that person could deny how upset I was. Though he is a leader, he has never attempted to find out what was motivating my emotional response; he has never checked on me to see if I was ok; Nothing, nada, nothing.
I have been consumed with it. The wounds have never healed. Each time I go back, the wounds are ripped open again. I can honestly admit that there are times that I pick at the scabs myself … I subject myself to reading his blog; nurturing my hurtful attitude. Then there are the times that things are just said from the pulpit … not directed toward me, unintentionally bumping that opens up the weeping sores again.
I have to leave. This past Sunday was the final day. I stood in line with almost 500 other people and became so tired of hearing, "Hey, how are you?" and then the person would walk away before I could even answer. My friend called it drive-by greetings. There is no community there!
I looked over and saw my oldest daughter's boyfriend sitting alone. He needs men in his life! He is already struggling to overcome addictions and now has his own wounds from pithy comments made from the pulpit about not needing the 12 steps of NA, AA. He came back because he liked the music. But no one speaks to him, no one offers to sit down at the table with him and share a meal.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!? Can't you see beyond your little group of people? You talk to the same people every week, never letting anyone else into the inner circle. You drone on and on about community, sharing life, reaching out … but you walk right by those who are sitting alone. You talk about how people just need Jesus but you won't act like Jesus to them! Do people need Jesus … yes! But people need tangible things also … a job, a car, mentors, financial counseling, a phone call. Just this week I heard someone teach that Jesus didn't turn the water into wine. Ok, did I hear an audible gasp? Jesus told the servants what to do and they did it and the water was turned to wine. We are to be actively doing what Jesus says to do and in the process miracles happen.
Just last week, the leaders exercised church discipline. It is a subject far too complex to tackle in this already too long post. The circumstances were about a woman who was committing adultery and refused to walk away from that choice. All I could think was, "If we as a body didn't do all that we could before the affair (because we all know that affairs usually don't just happen … they happen in the midst of other difficulties), aren't we just as guilty?" My thoughts are motivated by our own struggles with our marriage this past year … struggles that have been shared with people, with elders in this church. No help has been given. We have been left to figure it out on our own. In fact, the best help we have received has come from :::: gasp ::: secular sources.
I might be able to accept church discipline as valid if they stop focusing on just sexual sins and bring up those that are idolaters, drunkards, swindlers, slanderers … oh, and anyone who is greedy. We would all have to repent or be kicked out if we talk about greed. The church as an institution would have to be brought under discipline. Greed is intentionally grabbing more than what you need. I know that I am guilty of greed; I struggle with it daily, walking it out with the Lord so that He can teach me how to give generously and to trust Him to meet my needs.
The people that I was my most vulnerable with, that I shared the most difficult part of my life with, that I wailed out to God with … there has been no contact with these people at all. I make myself available by email, a phone call, approaching them at church and still, it never goes beyond, "Hey, how are you." No one takes the time to really listen … to hear the victories, to find out the continued needs. No one offers to help in a real way. I am sick of being patted on the shoulder and told, "We will be praying for you." I want to scream, "NO!!!! Please don't pray for me! I need more than just prayers … DO SOMETHING!"
About six months ago, I had a dream. I knew then what it meant but never had a chance to share that, because I was pretty much shut down before I could talk about it. I dreamed that I saw the people involved in the prayer ministry, praying over my mother. I calmly watched from a balcony of sorts and then walked into the bathroom where I proceeded to clean feces off the walls, the counters, the sink. There was feces everywhere, just oozing out. I wasn't disgusted; I just did what needed to be done. I cleaned. Every so often, I would go back out and watch the prayer team continue to pray over my mother but I kept returning to the bathroom to clean.
I prayed about what that dream meant and really felt and still feel that it is about the church being inactive in doing what needs to be done. The church is saying a lot of words, praying over people, praying for itself … while there is a lot of crap out there in the world that needs to be cleaned up. Should we pray? YES! But there has to be more than that. When we pray for a person, why aren't we following through and taking care of that person's needs as well? When we pray about an issue, why aren't we actively making changes in our life to make a difference?
I have described my time there as self feeding. We have become spiritually fat. Finally I am ready to act on my question, "This is it? This is what serving God is all about? Walking into a building each week and watching some one else's babies so that they can go be spoon fed? There has to more to it than this!" I am ready to act and I am walking away … not from God. Oh no, not from God. I am walking away from this institution that calls itself church.
Then frustratingly, when we attended on Sunday night, a ministry that I have grown to love for the way they serve, meet needs, minister to the poor and oppressed, the teaching was about men being fathers. The entire teaching was about disciplining your children, interpreted as punishment, interpreted as spanking. I have bruises on my arm from squeezing myself so hard. I have never heard spanking advocated from a place of leadership so firmly.
:::: sigh :::::
But that's another whole topic, isn't it?
Immersed in the Mystery,

California Jump Start
Smith says that even operators who don't own trailers are influencing the decision to add fuel-saving equipment. "We've seen that owner-operators will choose to pick up a load in an aerodynamic trailer as opposed to one that isn't," he says.
That's the case with Jay Olmstead, who's leased to LaValle Transportation of Potsdam, N.Y. The only trailer among the half-dozen in the LaValle fleet he will pull is one outfitted with an ATDynamics' TrailerTail and side skirt.
"I told Randy [LaValle, company owner] I'm holding the trailer hostage. I used to drop and hook with other trailers, but this trailer has benefited me so much I don't let anybody else touch it."
Olmstead says he regularly records mpg of 7.75 and above pulling the trailer behind his high-mileage 1998 Freightliner Classic. He also attached Air Tab deflectors to the cab and shortened the gap between the cab and trailer. "I went from high 6s and low 7s to often above 8," he says.
Olmstead estimates he saves $10,000 to $15,000 a year with the modifications.
Rate of payback
To qualify for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay-certified list of approved aerodynamic devices, a product must complete the SAE/TMC J1321 testing.
Though SmartWay lists minimum fuel savings, manufacturer testing can yield higher numbers, and a user's actual fuel efficiency gain depends on wind, load weight and other factors. Those elements and your miles will determine how quickly you recoup your investment. For AeroFlex side skirts, Graham estimates: "At 100,000 miles a year and $4 a gallon fuel at 7 percent fuel efficiency, the payback is a little under four months."
Smith says the ATD TrailerTail tested at a fuel efficiency gain of 6.6 percent, while the Trailer Skirts' posted gains in the 4-6 percent range. Each can deliver fuel savings of 0.3 to 0.4 mpg, he estimates.
Brett Tobin, an independent contractor from Medford, Ore., who runs under his own authority, estimates he returned the cost of the TrailerTail and side skirts in less than five months. He estimates a 0.9 mpg improvement. When he's fully loaded hauling produce from California to Florida, he averages 6.75 mpg. When he deadheads, which is often, he gets 9.5 mpg or better.
"I do my own dispatch and look for high-mileage loads," says Tobin, who usually runs at 55 mph. "It's a good business decision. If I can save $600 to $900 on fuel a month, that's a pretty good investment."
Buzz Lovelace, leased to Landstar, paid $948 to have a Nose Cone with lights installed on his 2008 Stoughton 53-foot van in May. He estimates that reducing his average speed to 62 mph from 67 and adding the device, which includes side panels attached to the front of his trailer, has helped improve his fuel economy to 6.3 mpg from 5.5-5.8. He figures he saved $300 in fuel in the first month and a half. Rose, of Nose Cone, calculates Lovelace's return on investment at just 17,000 miles.
Lovelace and Fleig didn't consider side skirts because they each have a belly box carrying wrapping pads and a ramp rack for unloading trade show equipment and other special loads. "I did this for my own benefit," says Pinson, Tenn.-based operator Lovelace, who is unfamiliar with the CARB regulations.
After procrastinating about adding a Nose Cone for years, Fleig finally paid $1,600 to install the product in May. After his initial fill-up and run with the new equipment, he logged 6.5 mpg.

Women From Around The U.S, World Come to Yale For Campaign Training
Sixty-four women from around the U.S and the globe will be in New Haven next week for an intensive five day session on politics. It's put on each summer by the Women's Campaign School at Yale University. WNPRs Lucy Nalpathanchil has more
Patricia Russo is President of the Women's Campaign School at Yale. She says the school exists to achieve one goal:
"Getting more women running, and winning and serving in public office."
Russo says there simply aren't enough women in politics even though women make up half of the U.S population. Take Congress for example less than seventeen percent of lawmakers are women.
The school launched in 1994, two years after the so-called "Year of the Woman" when many women candidates were running for office around the country.
But Russo says women in public service hasn't grown exponentially since that time so a Connecticut group led by Westport resident, Andree Brooks, created the school dedicated to campaign training.
Russo says sessions are bi partisan and issue neutral. And each year twenty-five percent of the class slots are made up of international participants. She recalls a participant from last summer's class.
"We had a woman running for President from Cameroon. And she was delayed for two days getting to our school because her opponents had kidnapped her. So it really is an incredible educational opportunity and sharing to see and hear about the lives of women who run in other countries and all the odds against them. Yet they continue to run."
She says mentorship could help increase the number of women in politics in the U.S who want to make change in their communities

So, remember the cartoon Recess?
Well, last night I was thinking about it and how there was an episode where a mysterious substitute teacher shows up.
And he disappears at the end of the episode, leaving the gang to wonder who he was.
And as I was thinking about it, I realized something.
Guys …
The Doctor was on Recess!

Stay Busy, Stay Happy
Benefits of Keeping Busy
Study author Christopher K. Hsee, PhD, of the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, says in a news release that it may be possible to use this principle to benefit society.
"If we can devise a mechanism for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive 'busyness,'" he says.
Incentives seem to work, because "people dread idleness, and their professed reasons for activity may be mere justifications for keeping busy," he and fellow authors Adelle X. Yang, also of the University of Chicago, and Liangyan Wang, of Shanghai Jiaotong University, write in the study.
In general, people will, when given a choice, choose to do things that will keep them busy, the authors say.
"The idea that people desire justification for busyness is rooted in the general finding that people are rational animals and seek to base their decisions on reasons," the researchers write. "It is silly to exert effort without purpose."
"It seems that people know that busyness yields happiness, but if they lack justification for busyness, they will choose idleness," the researchers say. This reflects the desire of people to base decisions on rules and reasons, the researchers say.
Historical Look at Busyness
The experiments were repeated in another context. Students were given a bracelet and given 15 minutes during which they could either do nothing or disassemble it and put it back together.
Some were told that if they disassembled the bracelet, they had to put it back together in the original design. Others were told that if they took the bracelet apart, they had to reassemble it into a different design.
Most students told they had to reassemble the bracelet in its original design chose to sit idly. Most told they had to reassemble it in a different way chose to stay busy.
Again, those who reassembled the bracelet reported greater happiness.
The findings "reinforced our proposition that humans concurrently desire both busyness and a justification for busyness," the researchers say.
Such decisions, they write, are rooted in evolution, because expending energy throughout the ages without reason could jeopardize survival.
"In Greek mythology, Sisyphus' punishment, imposed by Zeus, was to eternally roll a rock toward the top of a hill, never to arrive there," the authors write. "Our research suggests that Sisyphus was better off with his punishment than he would have been with a punishment of an eternity of doing nothing, and that he might have chosen rolling a rock over idleness if he had been given a slight reason for doing so."
The study is published in the August issue of the journal Psychological Science.

Dear United Airlines,
Thank you for the wonderful and pleasant flight home from Chicago last week. It was great to get your email before the flight about your changes to the SkyCap curbside service. I don't mind paying $2 per bag to cover the cost of gasoline. The SkyCaps are always so polite and friendly, and it's nice to be greeted with, "Hi Ms. Weaver! Thank you for flying United for more than 20 years, we appreciate your business." (I know that it's just your computer that keeps track of it, but it does feel good to be acknowledged.)
I'm glad to see that you discontinued charging extra for the exit-row seats. It seemed fairer to give them away on a first-come, first-served basis at the airport. We understand that there is more room in those rows to get us off the plane safely in case of an emergency. Charging more for them always felt wrong, creating a little island of exclusivity in the middle of coach; I'm glad you stopped doing that.
It was fun to take part in the "Create a Snack Box" voting campaign, and I was excited to see that my creation, the gluten- and sugar-free healthy snack box, was included in the finalists. I don't mind paying $5 for a snack box when it's something I want.
I loved the pillow and blanket reservations option, as I need that little pillow for my low back. I don't mind paying $2 for the reservation, as it's nice to know that those amenities are still available for the people who want them.
It was a great surprise to receive those towelettes midway through the flight when we were all tired and sticky. Thanks!
I so appreciated how the flight crew kept the bathroom clean using that Swiffer Wetjet on the floor. Otherwise it can get pretty gross in there over a four-hour flight.
Finally, it was nice for the pilot to recognize those of us who have been traveling with you for many years. Feels like I'm part of a fun club.

A letter I wish I could send

Hee - I'm coming from the opposite direction, but it's the same airline: http://www.davidleeking.com/2007/05/26/bad-united-airlines-customer-experience/ReplyDelete
Stephanie, you are so right.ReplyDelete
The offerings made by airlines are so incredibly interchangeable, it is no wonder few of us have any brand loyalty at all.
What is so incredible is that so much could be changed at no cost at all - like making inflight announcements more fun and informative...

The Poverty Concentration Implications of Housing Subsidies: A Cellular Automata Thought Experiment
AbstractLooking at data from HUD's low income housing tax credit database from 1987 to 2001, we examine how the US tax credit program has concentrated poverty in neighborhoods by offering advantages to developing low income housing projects in low income census tracts. We then use a simple Cellular Automata model to explore how alternative programs structures could impact economic diversity and poverty concentration. This model suggests that many widely dispersed fixed location affordable housing projects increase local economic diversity over alternative housing allocation rules. If policymakers wish align the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program with the goal of promoting economic diversity in our neighborhoods, they should restructure the bonus to reward to projects in areas without a concentration of subsidized housing.

Is the GOP "out of touch" with women?
A recent CNN poll has 55% of Americans saying that the GOP doesn't understand women. Is it true that the GOP, and by extension Right-leaning Conservatives, really out of touch or is it just a perceived truth without merit? Is the GOP allowing the Liberals/Dems/Left to define to the public what they stand for?

I can take a survey in my living room and find that 100 percent think you are full of it, however I don't think the sample size is adequate.

AHhh the ole war on women, more divisiveness from the left. Half of the babies murdered are indeed women so I would call that a war of sorts.

In the realm of politics, I've always felt there are two to blame for every failure when it comes to issues.
The Right can yell all day that the Dems/Left are not the way America should go. Or that the Dems/Left are not the best way for the women of the nation. But then after the Right has pointed that out, they need to admit that they have failed to give a reason to support them.

Cambridge University Press (CUP) is not generally in the habit of publishing monographs by extreme right-wingers hailing from obscure liberal arts colleges in rural Pennsylvania. What then explains its publication of Leo Strauss and the Conservative Movement in America: A Critical Appraisal by Paul Edward Gottfried, the Horace Raffensperger Professor of Humanities at Elizabethtown College?
The key must lie in the book's subtitle, "A Critical Appraisal". Leo Strauss has become a bête noire of the academic Left, being portrayed as the chief ideologue of the Iraq War, even though he died in 1973. For them Strauss is the evil genius behind the most sinister ideology of our age, neoconservatism, and the spiritual godfather to hate figures such as former US Deputy Defense Secretary and World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz.
Gottfried is also highly critical of Strauss and even more so of his followers, but comes at it from a very different angle. For the Left, Strauss is an ultra-elitist reactionary who rejected modernity, believing that the masses must be duped and harnessed through the construction of politically expedient myths. For Gottfried, Strauss is a dangerous believer in liberal internationalism and a modernist who rejects custom and tradition. It seems that for CUP any stick to beat Strauss will do.

2013 Lexus GS450h [w/video]
An Unlikely Star in the Lexus Stable Think about Lexus for a second. Odds are your gray matter is busy regurgitating images of the company's middle-aged RX crossover or possibly the midsize ES sedan. As the volume movers for Toyota's luxury fleet, the two are the default ambassadors for everything with an italicized L pinned to the grille, and that's a damned shame. As the 2013 GS450h is so willing to point out, Lexus engineers are busily crafting models that offer drivers more than a safe luxury choice.

Other than some missing badges and (hopefully) a not-yet-finished rear fascia, what you see here is an undisguised look at the long-awaited Lexus GS F high-performance sedan. Lexus' answer to the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, the GS F has been spotted again. Unlike our previous spy shots, though, this time around, the sporty Lexus has been caught ...
It's been a while since we've heard rumors of the fabled high-performance Lexus GS F, but thanks to our eager spy photographers, this looks to be our first real proof of the machine's existence. We don't have the usual brace of photos from all angles to work with this time around, our spies saying that every time Lexus' garage door opened, engineers ...
The Lexus LF-Gh Concept from this year's New York Auto Show is slowly making the journey from pure conceptual creation to full-on production car, albeit, in the form of the GS sedan. Our trusty spy photographers have caught a Lexus GS prototype out on the Nürburgring, and its LF-Gh-inspired cues are clearly in evidence despite heavy camouflage. Up ...
Following our report that the Lexus GS is scheduled to get a rather extensive overhaul next year, our spies have captured this test mule of Lexus' next 5 Series fighter out on the road. Even though this mule uses the current GS body, we can see that extra panels have been added around the wheel wells, meaning a wider track is probably in order. What's ...
F, now there's a letter that says high performance, don't it? Lexus must have figured that all the good ones were taken, so why not just go with the first letter of FAST. No doubt, the GS-F will be a rocket. It better be, if it wants to try kicking sand in the face of the M5. The artist's rendering gives a credible estimation of what kind of styling *ahem* ...

Jason Lloyd: Cavaliers cashed in on gamble, now LeBron is betting on himselfJason Lloyd, Akron Beacon Journal
LAS VEGAS -- In this city of bright lights, odds makers and craps tables, leave it to the Cleveland Cavaliers' daring casino owner to take the biggest gamble of all in pursuing LeBron James.
In order to clear enough space under the NBA's salary cap to offer James a max contract, the Cavs traded Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller, Sergey Karasev and a future first-round pick for essentially nothing.
Now that James has arrived, the risk taken by Dan Gilbert and the Cavaliers has already earned them millions. But the Cavs made the deal with no knowledge of whether LeBron was truly returning to Cleveland. Had he chosen Miami, they may have recouped assets elsewhere, but the team would've taken a public beating for giving away a key rotational piece in Jack, a young 7-footer with potential in Zeller, and a young guard with upside in Karasev, whom General Manager David Griffin loved.
"For me, it was about taking a chance and having the courage to be in the discussion," Griffin said. "And we have ownership that encourages those risks and will encourage those chances. It's an investment you have to make."
Much like Gilbert's business investments, the Cavs found gold. The lure of home was too strong to resist and the trade gave the Cavs the opportunity to present and sign him to a contract immediately.
James signed his deal Saturday, but it's only a two-year contract with an opt-out after next season, sources with knowledge of the deal said. So, yes, James can become a free agent again next summer, but the move is strictly a financial strategy. James made it clear in his letter -- and the Cavs are operating under the belief -- that he intends to finish his career here.
"I always believed that I'd return to Cleveland and finish my career there," James wrote in his letter to Sports Illustrated.
By signing for only two years, James can negotiate another long-term max deal when the new television contract is negotiated before the 2016-17 season. A new TV contract means higher revenue under a significantly higher salary cap. The potential for another lockout in 2017 could also affect salaries, so James is trying to keep his business options flexible.
The Cavs, however, fully expect James to sign a new long-term contract once the next television deal is negotiated.
Certainly, fans may fret over James' contract structure, and it's inevitable New York media will at some point speculate about James joining the Knicks and Carmelo Anthony next summer, when the Knicks will have cap space, but James' letter to Sports Illustrated made it clear he had no intention of going anywhere else and is committed to the Cavs for the long term.
The Cavs are betting on James being true to his word, just as they gambled with the trade and then remaining patient while other top free agents fell off their board. Gordon Hayward signed, as did Chandler Parsons and Channing Frye. The Cavs had interest in all three, but preserved the space with the hope of luring back their hometown star.
Now the more realistic version of the trade is Jack, Zeller, Karasev and a first-round pick for James. And every general manager in the league makes that deal instantly.
"We could not be happier to welcome LeBron James home," Griffin said in a prepared statement Saturday announcing James' return. "LeBron, through his essay, told us he wasn't going anywhere except Cleveland and that 'Cleveland is where he always believed he would finish his career.' These words and commitment put all of us, including LeBron, in the best position to build our franchise the right way and achieve the kind of goals we all know are possible. Expectations will be at the highest levels but no one should expect immediate and automatic success."
The odds are on the board now and the risks have been everywhere. The Cavs initially took the risk with the trade and now are betting on LeBron to remain here until he retires.
James, meanwhile, seems to be admitting that his return now might cost him a championship or two in his career. He had alternative opportunities with teams closer to winning titles, but he's betting on himself to help shape and mold the Cavs' youthful roster into contenders while he's still in his prime.
He's 29 now, a grown man and an 11-year veteran. But some things never change.
Everyone is still betting on LeBron. Including himself.

Adwords Enhanced campaigns, 22nd July 2013 deadline
As 22nd July 2013 deadline approaches for upgrading legacy Google Adwords campaigns to "Enhanced", here are some quick checks on the most important aspects that should be acted upon.
The main driving force behind Enhanced campaigns is the rapidly rising importance of mobile advertising as consumers do more and more activities on their mobiles. With Google's purchase of Admob back in 2010, Adwords has continued to maintain its relevance in advertising, unlike Facebook which was a little off footed by the rapid rise in mobile usage.
Back to the topic, the two main aspects of "Enhanced" campaigns are
- Bid adjustments
- Mobile optimized ads
Bid adjustments
Adwords's enhanced campaigns enable bid adjustments on 3 levels
- Devices (campaign and ad group level)
- Locations (campaign level only)
- Time of day (campaign level only, based on time zone when creating account)
The most important part when upgrading is adjusting the mobile devices bid. Desktop and tablets now cannot be seperately bidded on, possibly Google saw it from its vast data points that behavior in these two devices are converging.
Bids adjustments are multiplied together i.e.
- Location (+20%)
- Mobile (-50%)
- Resultant is 1.2 * 0.5 = 0.6
Do note that for the same kind of bid adjustment, e.g. location bids on France (campaign) and Paris (ad group) level, the ad group level is used.
Mobile optimized ads
Now it is much easier to cater ads to be optimized for the mobile. Previously, we will have to create a seperate campaign to target mobile.
Adwords Enhanced campaigns allow specifying which ads are preferred to show on mobile for e.g. mobile specific discounts or optimized display URL.
In addition, the following ad extensions can also be mobile optimized, including ability to schedule when they are shown (ad scheduling)
- Sitelink extensions: Choose sitelink that are context specific
- Call extensions: Only show call extensions when store is open
- App extensions: Only show click to download when user is on mobile
To top all these, reporting is now available for individual extension as opposed to legacy campaigns when only performance statistics of thethe entire type is available.

Hurray -- barbecue season is almost upon us, folks! Oh, but you don't have a grill? Or simply don't have time to run home from work, clean the grill, wait for it to be ready, wait for your meat to cook properly, AND THEN have to clean the grill again?
No problem -- we have your solution. Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken isn't simply am amazing meal you can whip up in seconds and set cooking while you spend your day doing more important things. It's also an amazingly delish BBQ chicken recipe with a secret weapon guaranteed to impress even the most jaded chicken eater (in other words, your kids): it's packed with sweet, but spicy, fruity flavor that will make your family members run to the dinner table.
March is supposed to roar in like a lion and go out like a lamb, but let's face it: a great many of us are still stuck dealing with ferocious temperatures. Instead of cursing Mother Nature, we should use the cold as a great excuse to keep whipping up hearty, delicious soups.
Crock-Pot Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup was inspired by a similar dish served up at Panera Bread -- got to love that. It is dead easy to make and cooks in either 7 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high heat. Just pop all of the ingredients -- most of which you'll probably have in your fridge or pantry -- into your slow cooker and head off to work or, even better, hightail it to the salon for a pedicure since sandal weather has to be right around the corner.
Here's how to make this perfect Crock-Pot soup.
With spring just a few days away, it seems like we should be breaking out the barbecue and abandoning our favorite winter comfort foods. But not so fast! There's still a chill in the air, which is a good thing, because it means we have the perfect excuse to try this amazing, sumptuous recipe for Slow Cooker Coconut Hot Chocolate.
Yes, you heard that right. Your Crock-Pot truly is the magical cooking tool that keeps giving. You probably already know how to whip up a mean beef stew in your slow cooker, but the rich flavors in hot, tasty beverages like this one are only intensified when you let them sit on low for a few hours. Mmmm ... kinda makes you yearn for a longer winter, doesn't it?
Sometimes you plan a meal that you later realize -- like, seconds before you're about to arrive home from work or running errands to actually cook it -- may not excite every member of the family. You brace yourself for the moans and groans and think all the while, I worked hard all day and then slaved over a hot stove to make a healthy dinner that everyone hates. Great -- pass the wine, please!
This Crock-Pot spaghetti and meatballs recipe will create the absolute opposite scenario. You just set it to go in the morning and, nine hours later, you get to sit down and relax with family over a delicious, hearty, healthy, and no-fuss meal that will leave everyone smiling. And if you choose to enjoy a glass of wine, it will be a celebratory one.
I love my slow cooker. Even as I type this, it's bubbling away at home, preparing what will hopefully be a scrumptious meal for me post-work. But it can be used for so much more than scrumptious sauces and the gradual softening of the bones of your enemies. Once you've entered the world of slow-cooked desserts, you'll never look back -- trust me on this one.
This apple pie recipe as written for the slow cooker stands out from the crowd. Since apples are aromatics, they are a perfect fit for your slow cooker, where the low and slow heat will allow the gentle aroma of the cooking apples to fill your home. Who needs scented candles when you've got something that not only smells like heaven, but is also edible? It's a win-win-win.
There's nothing better for the soul, especially in the wintertime, than a good old-fashioned Crock-Pot chicken dinner. Think about it: you're stuck at work longer than usual, the sun has gone down early, and the air contains a wicked chill. Your evening commute is long and cold. The last thing you want to do is walk through your door and have to prepare dinner for four. Slow cooker meals, like this amazing chicken and dumplings recipe, can be prepared well in advance and are ready to feed your family when you're ready to eat. This recipe takes just 10 minutes of prep time, cooks in 6 hours, and feeds 8 hungry folks. Perfection in one pot!
You obviously know what this weekend is ... it's Super Bowl Sunday! The Denver Broncos are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in what should be an exciting matchup, but what we're all really concerned with is the commercials food. Chili, wings, nachos, dips, beer, it's a glutton's dream come true. What better way to kick off the biggest game of the year than by whipping up your very own chicken wings? The best part? You can do it in your slow cooker.
That's right, get a jump start on these babies early in the morning, then have them warm and juicy and ready to go when the game starts at 6:30 p.m. These wings, from Betty Crocker, have a teriyaki twist for even more flavor. So easy and delicious, you'll love the convenience of being able to use your slow cooker and get to enjoy wings that have been slowly marinating all day for five hours! Is it Sunday yet?
How do you make creamy soup filled with starchy potatoes even better? Add bacon. Because duh. I can't believe that bacon isn't just a standard ingredient in potato leek soup. It practically begs to be baconified, with its lushness.
So do yourself a favor -- start out this soup with a few strips of bacon. You can thank me later.
I found this recipe on Pinterest, which as everyone knows is the birthplace of all fantastic recipes. Seriously, no one ate anything but Hamburger Helper before Pinterest came around, and now that it's here, we still eat Hamburger Helper, but now we do it in individual serving cups with paper umbrellas.
What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, recipes. This slightly spicy southwest-style soup recipe is awesome because it can be made entirely from pantry ingredients. It was originally titled 8-can taco soup, but I thought southwest-style sounded a little classier.
Remember your roasting pan? That huge thing tucked away in your kitchen cabinets? It's ceramic or metal, about the same shape as a cookie sheet but with taller sides... (Ah yes, I vaguely recall such a pan.) Last week it got cold enough to turn on the heat in my home, and when that happens I get one thing on my mind: Roasting. But you don't have to use your roasting pan just for meat. Here are 10 other delectable dishes you can make using your roasting pan, some of them for brunch, some for dinner, and some for dessert. In some cases you may want to line your roasting pan with parchment paper and butter.

Two things the Utah Blaze are synonymous with doing better than any other team in the AFL were absent in last week's home-opening loss against the rival Arizona Rattlers: Execution and tempo.
"When those things are married together," Blaze coach Ron James said, "you have a great chance of winning."

About the Storm » Quarterback Adrian McPherson already has accounted for 17 total touchdowns and thrown for 580 yards in the first two games of the season. ... Receivers Joe Hills and Greg Ellingson have combined to snag seven touchdowns in the first two games of the season.
About the Blaze » Utah ranks No. 1 in the AFL in total team defense. ... Unlike last year's record-setting offensive year, the Blaze rank just seventh in the AFL in total team offense and seventh in passing attack. ... After sitting out the first two games of the season due to a lower leg injury, Blaze star receiver Aaron Lesue is scheduled to make his 2013 season debut Saturday night.

|Post a Comment
Utah's execution and tempo weren't living happily together last week. In fact, they were nonexistent. The offense that shattered league records in 2012 came out flat. There were too many tipped passes, too many miscommunications and simply too many turnovers — six in all — to overcome the defending champion Rattlers.
So in preparation for Saturday's opponent, the Tampa Bay Storm, the Blaze (1-1) went back to the chalkboard. They worked on those elements to their traditionally fast-pasted, high-octane offense that didn't show up against Arizona last Friday night.
"Sometimes games happen like that, but it's just one game and you've got to put it past you and move onto the next," said Utah quarterback Tommy Grady, who aims to bounce back from his five-interception outing against Arizona.
The Storm descend on Salt Lake City with a young and explosive group of players that James said will present a multitude of matchup problems for the Blaze. He said both lines are designed to "out-muscle" their opponents, and dual-threat quarterback Adrian McPherson hasn't committed a turnover yet this season. He also accounted for 10 touchdowns in last weekend's win over Cleveland.
"You need to make him work his arm and keep him in the pocket," James said.
Defensive lineman Caesar Rayford is more than ready to erase from his mind last week's drubbing against Arizona and has McPherson and the Storm offense in his cross hairs.
"I just want to get that out of my head, get past it, get a win and just tee off on Tampa Bay," he said.
Rayford and the defense will get their shot, but Utah's offense must first rediscover the magic of 2012 if it wants to gain some momentum early in the season. The return of receiver Aaron Lesue, Grady's favorite target, will help. He caught an AFL-record 64 touchdowns last season, but he has been hampered by a lower leg injury. James expects him to make his season debut Saturday night against the Storm.
The Blaze have dealt with their first stint of adversity during the 2013 season, and Saturday is an opportunity to turn it into a positive.
"Three things: tempo, tempo, tempo," James reiterated.
With a sprinkle of rhythm, too.

If you're not the go-hog-wild type, relaxing the rules once a week may help you stay the course, says Kathy McManus, RD, director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Being super-strict can set you up for overeating in the future.
"If the word whole isn't listed as one of the first three ingredients on your loaf, then it's essentially white bread," says Lisa Young, PhD, RD, an adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University and author of The Portion Teller Plan. Like the name indicates, whole grains contain the entire grain kernel -- which guarantees the maximum dose of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Non-whole-grain products -- aka refined grains -- have been processed to remove parts of the kernel. Although this extends shelf life and smoothes the texture, it also strips away some of the nutritional benefits.
Physiologically speaking, no. Your body treats calories the same whether you're gobbling them up at 8 a.m. or 8 p.m. "Thanks to boredom and TV watching, however, we are more likely to overindulge in the evening hours," says Young. Plus, night nibbling is usually synonymous with mindless eating -- and that means scarfing down chips, ice cream, or other empty-calorie snacks. (Think about how easy it is to crunch your way through an entire bag of Cheetos while watching CSI.) If you've got the late-night munchies, try our favorite pre-bedtime bites: a handful of nuts (about 170 calories), 12 tortilla chips with one-fourth cup salsa (about 130 calories), or a 100-calorie Fudgsicle.
"After two to four weeks of dieting, you should start seeing some real fat loss," says McManus. "Realistically, you can expect to lose about four to six pounds of fat in the first month." That said, you may begin noticing results even sooner. Since a pound equals 3,500 calories, as soon as you create a deficit of 3,500 calories, you'll see a loss of one pound. You could do this in a week by trimming 500 calories a day. But remember, weight fluctuates naturally, and people's calorie calculations are often imprecise, so don't be disappointed if the number on the scale doesn't budge right away. And if you do happen to drop several pounds in the first seven days, don't get too excited. It's most likely water weight, not fat.
It's not a bad idea, says Young. Though sugar substitutes are supposed to help with weight loss (they're used in products like diet soda and yogurt to add flavor without adding calories), several studies suggest they might actually hinder your efforts. Take diet soda, for instance: After studying 622 normal-weight adults, researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio found that 55 percent of those who drank one to two diet sodas a day were overweight after seven to eight years. Among people who drank the same amount of regular soft drinks, that number was 33 percent. The reasons? Experts believe that artificial sweeteners can trigger cravings for sweet foods, and that they can actually interfere with the body's natural ability to count calories. And when you believe you're drinking something that's not-so-bad for you, you're more likely to overindulge in unhealthy "rewards." There are other reasons to curb your intake of fake sugar: It can cause some unpleasant side effects, such as headache, diarrhea, and upset stomach in people who are sensitive or intolerant. Of course, OD-ing on regular sugar has its own set of problems, so your best bet is to go easy all around with the sweet stuff.
You probably forgot a key ingredient: protein! "A big bowl of lettuce and veggies won't keep you satisfied," says Leslie Bonci, RD, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Since it takes more time to digest protein than, say, carbs or fat, add tuna, tofu, beans, or chicken to your greens and you'll feel full longer.
"Your fat cells shrink and their contents get absorbed -- eventually they're excreted or used for energy or other cell functions," Bonci explains. Sadly, once a fat cell is created, you can only change its size. Losing weight will shrink it, gaining weight will cause it to expand, but nothing except liposuction will make the cell disappear completely.
No. When it comes to diet, the only thing you can do to up the rate at which you burn calories is to eat small meals throughout the day, says McManus. Shoot for three meals and two snacks daily, or five mini meals, eating every three to four hours. Keep in mind that not eating can slow metabolism. "When you don't eat, your body perceives this as a threat of starvation. As a result, it slows your metabolism in order to hang on to whatever calories you do consume," she says. The real key to revving your metabolism is exercise.
Neither. "Weight loss is all about calories," says Young. Cutting way back on carbohydrates could backfire: Your body needs carbs for energy, and by eliminating them from your diet, you also reduce your intake of filling fiber, which means you'll be hungry all of the time. As for fat, a little bit goes a long way toward helping you stay satisfied. To shed pounds, eat a reduced-calorie, balanced diet, and be selective about your foods. For example, when choosing carbs, opt for whole-grain varieties; for fats, go for heart-healthy sources such as olive oil, avocado, and nuts.
Eat before. A light snack (about 150 to 200 calories) that contains mostly carbs and some protein -- such as a fruit smoothie made with milk or yogurt, a glass of low-fat chocolate milk, or some crackers with a little peanut butter -- is ideal. Eaten a half hour before your sweat session, these filling bites help fuel your muscles, steady your blood sugar, and stave off belly rumbles. If you're exercising for longer than an hour, you should probably refuel afterward, too, says Bonci. Choose small, carb-rich snacks, such as an apple or a banana.
You can likely skip the multi if you're consuming at least 1,800 calories a day and your diet is generally balanced and healthy -- meaning lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains, some healthy fat and protein, says McManus. But if you're cutting calories, you should take the multivitamin. "Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to get all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need," she says.
It's possible. "Some adults could experience adverse effects, such as irritability," says study coauthor John Warner, MD, a professor of pediatrics at Imperial College, London. The double-blind study showed that kids who consumed products such as fizzy fruit drinks and candies containing food coloring and the preservative sodium benzoate were more likely to be hyperactive than when they skipped these foods. More research is needed to pinpoint who exactly is susceptible, but if you're concerned about additives, talk to your doctor about which foods to eliminate.
If you can spend the extra cash, it may be to your benefit to buy organic meat and milk," says Kathy McManus, RD. "There's definitely a growing concern about the health effects associated with the antibiotics and hormones used in these foods." And some research shows that organic produce may be a bit better; one study found that organic tomatoes pack a bigger nutritional punch than conventional ones. Plants that aren't doused in chemicals seem to produce more antioxidants because they grow in richer soil and they develop a natural resistance to pests. Beyond your personal health, if you're concerned about the effects of pesticides on the environment, go organic.

As part of a national program to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Japanese officials want 30% of residential households to be powered (at least in part) with solar energy by 2030. Fourteen million households will need to be fitted with solar panels to buy viagra australia reach this target – a potentially heroic increase from the current 400,000 homes that have panels today.
Although Japan (mainly Sharp) produces half of the solar modules in the world, the equipment has been out of reach for the average household, costing up to two million yen ($18,000) for a family of http://www.markwellgroup.com.au/viagra-from-mexico four to go solar.
