Trailing 2-1 going into the third period, with their playoff lives on the line, the Chicago Blackhawks scored three goals to pull ahead and they held on for a 4-3 win in Game Six at Detroit Monday, setting up a Game seven matchup with the Red Wings Wednesday night.
While the talk heading into Game Six was how the top lines were neutralizing each other, the results were different Monday. Chicago's attack was led by Marian Hossa (1 G, 1 A, +2) and Jonathan Toews (2 A), while Bryan Bickell (not necessarily a top player, but skating on the wing with Hossa for much of the night) scored the third goal and was plus-2.
It's not that Toews spent the night with Hossa and Bickell; his primary linemates were Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp, but the Blackhawks frequently had Toews, Hossa and Bickell out to face Pavel Datsyuk's line, while Toews would play with Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp against Henrik Zetterberg, Valtteri Filppula and Dan Cleary.
While the goals went Chicago's way in those matchups, Detroit, led by Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen with six shots each, outshot Chicago 38-28. Datsyuk, Franzen and Justin Abdelkader had a dominant game in terms of puck possession, carrying the play, primarily against the defence tandem of Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson.
Chicago leans heavily on all of their top four defencemen, but Oduya led all Blackhawks with 24:37 of ice time in Game Six.
Detroit's marksmen in Game Six were unlikely sources, as none played more than 12 minutes in the game. Patrick Eaves and Joakim Andersson scored their first goals of the postseason, while Damien Brunner scored in the final minute of the third period. Brunner's goal moves him into the scoring lead for Detroit in this series, with four points in six games. Chicago has four players (Toews, Hossa, Kane and Sharp) tied for the team lead with four points.
Red Wings rookie D Brendan Smith was victimized on Chicago's second and third goals, getting caught out of position on a goal by Michal Handzus then getting beaten to a rebound by Bickell less than five minutes later. Red Wings D Jakub Kindl was charged with a game-high four giveaways.
Through six games, both teams have scored 14 goals in the series, with the Blackhawks holding a shots on goal advantage of 5.17 per game. If Detroit is going to take the series in Game Seven, on the road, they will need Jimmy Howard to outperform Corey Crawford in the goaltending battle because there hasn't been a great difference between the teams otherwise.

Javier Bardem was a Stripper
Javier Bardem was a stripper before becoming an international star! He was so desperate for cash as a struggling actor so he did the striptease. Bardem, the Oscar-winning actor who stars in the latest Woody Allen's comedy, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," says he's not ashamed about his early days as an exhibitionist.
more photos after the jump…
Javier says, "I danced one night in a place, there was a club. And they asked for a guy to kind of make a striptease and I did it… It was for ten minutes. I needed money.
"My mother was there in the audience. She was so proud."
What a cool mamma! You do know that Javier is dating Penelope Cruz, right? A source close to the couple told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as reports by Hollyscoop : "Both Penelope and Javier are very excited about their future together. It has been rumored that Javier has already proposed – but he hasn't asked Penelope to marry him yet."

With out giving to much away in Stormrage the nightmare is able to hold orcs and dranaei alike now granted thats the Nightmare and not the Dream. I would go on the assumption that since the dranaei and orcs are now part of Azeroth they would be mirrored into the dream also. Just speculation havent seen this written anywhere just kinda of basing it off of the events in Stormrage.

The Florida Derby has been producing Kentucky Derby contenders and winners for decades. Last year, Orb won both races. So did Big Brown, Barbaro, Monarchos, Thunder Gulch, and Unbridled.
So when they load the gate in Hallandale, Fla. on Saturday, trainers will be looking at the first Saturday in May, bettors will be looking for hints to enhance their exotic wagers and writers will be looking for story angles.
If there has been a theme this winter at Gulfstream Park, it has been speed. Front running victories have been common and track records have been threatened and beaten.
And Saturday brings together a cast of speed merchants for the Florida Derby who has worked more bullets than a Clint Eastwood movie. These 3-year-olds are fast. The question is: Who can sustain that speed for a mile and an eighth.
The favorite Cairo Prince probably can get the distance and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin has been overly confident. A Pioneer of the Nile should be able to win the Florida Derby. But the ability of that pedigree and a 7.00 Dosage Index to win the Derby on May 3 is still very much a question.
There's no doubt that Cairo Prince is very good. But he has at least four competitors who can fly. Wildcat Red, by the sprinter D'Wildcat, is probably faster than anybody. He would not be passed in the Fountain of Youth and posted a 100 Bris speed figure. In this race however, he is a candidate to be passed in the stretch.
General A Rod lost the Fountain of Youth by a nose but got the same speed figure. And his pedigree by Roman Ruler out of a Dynaformer mare, has a real chance to carry him farther maybe even a mile and a quarter.
Todd Pletcher, always in the mix, sends out Constitution, an allowance winner who could be with the rest of the speed balls if he improves just slightly. His mile and 1/16th time was 1:42. The Fountain of Youth winner was 1:41.4.
Which brings me to the wildcard, his name is simply Spot and he jumped into the Derby fray by winning the Grade 2 Swale Stakes. That was Spot's first race for trainer Nick Zito, who has won two of the last four Florida Derbies.
If this son of Pulpit improves, and he's a stalker, I can see the race falling apart after vicious speed duel up and somebody like Spot picking up the pieces and the trophy.
The field is filled out by Matador from trainer Mark Casse, who was 5th in the Tampa Bay Derby. East Hall was 8th in the same race and runs back for trainer William Kaplan. And Allstar, an allowance winner at Calder, is the ultimate long shot.
And perhaps the bottom line for the Florida Derby: Many of these strong Kentucky Derby contenders still need points to make the field on May 3. Cairo Prince has been everybody's Derby favorite for weeks, but he skipped the Fountain of Youth, he has just 14 Derby points and if he stumbles on Saturday, he could be OUT.

Bike Share Finally Comes To Philly
In a move to catch us up to almost every other major East Coast city, bike share is coming to Philadelphia! But before they plop down some bikes, they need our help to choose its 60 locations from an array of options, four of which are comfortably within the Penn bubble.
Comment on the bike share location survey to ensure we won't have face the prospect of having to actually walk to Market, or even Baltimore, for a bike. (We recommend answering the "being comfortable at night" question less like your mother and more like a West Philadelphian).
Will this new influx of blindingly bright bikes influence Penn's bicycling ban on campus? We predict no, but maybe our ticketing signs will get a little more colorful. Watch out PennCycle, competition is coming and its name is Nutter.

When oil prices spiked in 2008, airlines added checked baggage fees. Passengers still bought tickets on the base price and didn't think about the extra expense until the day of travel.
Now airlines are recasting fees as trip enhancements.
Travelers like Nadine Angress, of Mansfield, Mass., see the value. Her recent late-night US Airways flight home landed past six-year-old son's bedtime. She had to work early the next morning. So, for $30 she bypassed the baggage carousel and had the suitcase delivered.
"That was a very reasonable price to pay," Angress says. "It's making your life easier."
U.S. airlines collect more than $6 billion a year in baggage and reservation change fees. They also collect $9 billion more from selling extras like frequent flier miles, early boarding and seat upgrades. Together, the fees account for 10 percent U.S. airlines' revenue.
Fees provide airlines with another advantage: The Internal Revenue Service has said since they aren't directly related to transporting passengers, they aren't subject to the 7.5 percent excise tax travelers pay on base fares. Taxing fees would give the government an extra $1.1 billion a year to fund the Federal Aviation Administration, runway upgrades and air traffic control improvements.
Without the fees, experts say fares would be 15 percent higher.
"You're either going to go out of business or find a way to cover" your costs, says Robert E. Jordan, Southwest Airlines' executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
Southwest has held off charging for most checked bags. But it sells plenty of other add-ons.
Recently, it introduced a way for people at the back of the boarding line on some flights to cut to the front for $40. It's not a blockbuster seller — one person pays up every two flights — but with 3,600 daily flights, that nets $70,000 in extra daily revenue or $25 million a year.
Airlines now alter fees based on demand. United Airlines used to sell its Economy Plus extra legroom seats for one price per route. Today, aisle seats cost more than middle seats; prices are higher on popular flights.
That change in thinking has helped United increase fee revenue by 13 percent this year to more than $20 per one-way passenger.
Airlines are also starting to bundle items. Passengers purchase items they might not necessarily buy alone; it also simplifies the dizzying array of offers.
"I don't want you to have to do the math every time," says Rick Elieson, managing director of digital marketing at American Airlines.
American offers a package for $68 roundtrip that includes no change fees, one checked bag and early boarding. Delta is experimenting with a $199 subscription that includes a checked bag, early boarding, access to exit row seats and extra frequent flier miles on all flights a passenger takes between now and Jan. 5.
Airlines say the fees bring a sense of fairness to the system. Why should a passenger with a small carry-on subsidize a family of four, checking suitcases?
Jamie Baker, an airline analyst with JP Morgan Chase, likens it to a meal at a restaurant.
"The sides are not included in the price of a steak," he says. "Airline ticket prices should reflect the costs incurred by the individual passenger."

The Syrian conflict is dangerous and complex. A recent publication points out how western governments might promote the pro-democracy forces in the country. By Dagmar WolfMore
Thousands of Yazidis were trapped on Mount Sinjar after being forced to flee their homes by Islamic State terrorist militias. Many have fled to Syria; others have remained in Iraq. The US has provided food and water, although Washington no longer sees the need for a rescue mission. Their situation is desperate.

The dreaded letters some of you no doubt hoped where dead & buried will return.
We've thought long and hard about this and it's not an easy decision, but we've decided to revert back to the EC Award, and change the structure of the PA team.
Anyone around the forums will be aware of the history:
I was taken seriously ill, the team had to react fast and put into place a new system of picture selectors so that awards can continue. It's called a Premier Award. and we have the Premier Award team.
The team and selection process was developed and fine tuned and we ended up with a good method of selecting PAs that's working generally well, but it has flaws.
So we have two options: continue to try and resolve the flaws or change.
The main flaw is the number of votes needed to get an award is proving difficult to perfect, too low a number and we could get bias or images that slip through that, in my mind, probably shouldn't have. Too high and no pictures will be selected.
This brought a second issue of speed. When I chose alone pictures would get awards the day they were uploaded, so the pace was faster.
The other problem, which I expected all along, is commitment. It relies on people devoting a lot of time to go through, select and then judge photos. Sadly many of the pros who were chosen are rarely around or have left the team.
And then we have the age old problem of member disagreement voiced in the forums and gallery, and no doubt in private, which may even have risen since the introduction of the new system. So rather than me listen to this and defend my choice I'm feeling it necessary to defend the choice of a team, while at the same time the team take the brunt of all the forum and gallery criticism.
So why have around 15 good people getting emotional tangled in something that they don't deserve? They've been incredibly helpful in the difficult times of my recoup. It's to them I thank for the Awards system continuing.
The main reason why the PA team was introduced, was a way to resolve the problem of me having to look through the entire gallery to make a selection. I need people to weed out the highlights in all categories. We'd been thinking about this process way before I'd dropped down. We had two solutions: 1 you nominate your own pictures for award and 2 we have a team. It was decided that the team approach was better and less complex.
So going forward we will still have our team...comprising of current level 1s, 2s and 3s from the PA team, as a less complicated single layer. The team will go through and put forward photos that they feel should be worthy of the Awards. The process will be monitored statistically and tweaked. The step from nomination to award will be simplified so it should be much quicker
We feel this may seem like a step back to some, it's a step forward from the stage we were at before my absence, as my viewing selection will be reduced significantly, but also photos I may not have given a second glance will be under more scrutiny as they've been selected by team members.
I hope you join me in thanking all the team for their fabulous work, and for putting up with any of the upset caused through being part of the PA team.
Now they can go back to enjoying the site
Also there was suggestions that we have a "hide awards and votes" option. We have not discounted this. We just won't be making a hasty decision.
TBH, Pete, I am all for that option if and only if it doesn't affect your health.
My suggestion is to only keep L2 and L3 for nominating. From my past experience, you will still have to go through tones of photos with L1 still there. That might have changed now, I don't know. Just a suggestion though.
Sound like the right solution to me - lots of people to do all the donkey work, one to make the decisions (and take the flack )
I think this option strikes the right balance. Pete, it's important for epz's character that the site editor is involved in making the final decisions about awards as, even if we don't always agree with it , the tone of the site needs to come from you.
Just make sure it doesn't get you down.
A case of better the devil you know eh?
Well if MS can come back to F1 then why cant EC come back to ePz? (personally I liked the EC system because I took it at face value)
Tough call and its nice to have the effort/commitment to recognise quality on a free website but its always going to be a win/win or lose/lose situation depending on your perspective
Those likely to take a strop will still have a go at the system
The grade me, evaluate me, reward me, praise me brigade will still have a go at the system
The what the hell are you thinking of brigade will still have a go at the system
Some fine work will gain a little recognition from its peer/s
Some fine work will not
Some of us will wonder what all the fuss is about
And all will be well on the internet
Good luck team
I think its a good call and pretty sure Pete will turn the other cheek to crit rather than let stress levels build up
After all as said many a time its Editors Choice he he
Good show and glad to see you are feeling up for it again, hopefuly the health is on the up all the time as well

Dear T2T: I'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. I'm a size 20-22 and, of course, all my friends are skinny and beautiful.
For as long as I can remember, I have had weight problems. I blame it on genetics, failed diets, or a busy schedule that leaves me zero time to work out, but mostly myself. I transferred schools before my junior year because of severe depression and bullying from my own best friends that I started cutting myself. I can't go shopping for clothes or a homecoming/prom dress with my friends because, guaranteed, the store does not carry my size.

Logan • Even after he had hauled in a touchdown pass, even after he had gained 47 yards on four catches on the day, receiver Jojo Natson still wasn't satisfied.
In the two-minute drill, the last possession of the day, the defense had stopped the first-team offense about 25 yards shy of the end zone. And it bugged him.
"I want to get a touchdown," Natson said. "We drove the ball down there, so it's like why not punch it in. But we're gonna get that down pat. We're gonna be good."
The offense put some power behind that confidence on Wednesday afternoon, as Chuckie Keeton led the way with three touchdowns and 172 yards passing in Utah State's second fall camp scrimmage.
After finishing Saturday without a touchdown pass, Keeton led the explosive plays with scoring passes to D.J. Tialavea, Travis Reynolds and Natson. The first-string offense looked smooth running up and down the field against the second-string defense, churning out a 75-yard scoring drive on the opening possession and following up with scoring drives of 61 yards, 25 yards and 12 yards.
Coach Matt Wells took his offense's success with an even keel.
"That's what we're used to around here," he said. "That will be the standard. That will be the expectation every Saturday."
The first-team wide receivers did a lot of work to shore up any pre-camp question marks, as Travis Van Leeuwen, Reynolds and Natson all had good catches. Freshman Hayden Weichers also stood out Wednesday, nabbing a 42-yard pass that took the Aggies into the red zone on the first drive.
Defensively, the top unit pitched a shutout against the offensive reserves. Kyler Fackrell against stood out rushing the passer, finishing with three sacks. Paul Piukala blocked a field-goal attempt.
The defense even got the last laugh against the first-team offense, sacking Keeton twice on the final two-minute drill. Although Tavaris McMillan was to be one of the defenders in on that final fourth-down snap, he acknowledged he hoped for better performances in the future.
"We expect to be a top-of-the-line defense, every play and every down," he said. "We let up on a couple of plays, especially in the red zone where they had some explosives. We'd like to eliminate that, then it would be a solid day."
The run game didn't fair as well as the Aggies' aerial attack: Freshman Kennedy Williams led all rushers with 17 yards. The defense combined for 13 total tackles for a loss, including seven sacks.
Wells said he's continuing to evaluate the backup quarterbacks, who as a whole struggled. Darrell Garretson, Jeff Manning, Craig Harrison and Jordan Brown combined for only 78 passing yards, but did not throw any picks.

Miss Indiana Mekayla Diehl didn't win the Miss USA pageant on Sunday night, but she has managed to set herself apart from the competition.
USAToday noticed the praise Diehl received throughout the night and posted a story Monday morning titled "Miss Indiana praised for 'normal' body at Miss USA 2014 show."
Commenters praised Miss Indiana for her "relatively normal" body and showed appreciation for the fact that she isn't a "complete twig."
One person wrote, "Dear #MissIndiana thank you for looking like an average woman."
Diehl didn't make it into the top ten, but she was definitely noticed by viewers Sunday evening.
Tricia Sloma had the opportunity to meet with Diehl a few weeks ago. You can watch those stories by clicking on the attached links.

9ct white gold amethyst & diamond drop earrings 4 4
Too short! My son bought these for my birthday before Christmas. They are very delicated and beautiful! Unfortunately they would be lost in my long hair, yet they seem to be the biggest ones on your website. There is nothing wrong with this product but I'm disappointed that you do not offer a range more suited to longer hair 04 January 2014
Great present ! I now have the full set - my partner bought these for Christmas for me as part of a surprise and they're simply just beautiful! They are elegant and stylis - whilst they would have been nice had they been a larger drop, when I put them on they were just lovely and match, the studs, necklace, bracelet and ring I now have in my collection. I would thoroughly recommend these and am saving these for my wedding day. 02 January 2013

text: BJ's food review. Met here with my girls for happy hour. I hate driving on 75 during rush hour, so a cocktail was necessary upon arrival. I ordered the X-tini as we waited for the remainder of our guests to arrive. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and I love that about this place. We rarely eat meals, just eat community style. I think it may have something to do with the fact that their menu is quite extensive. After suffering through traffic, I wasn't prepared to read the entire menu which had to have been 10 pages minimum. The reality is, I'm sure this place was chosen for its proximity to my friends who live in the burbs, not for its food, lol! It wasn't bad. We devoured the spinach dip & chips, a regular choice for our group. We also ordered the boneless chicken wings, pizza which had a happy hour special and the wraps. All were well presented and made. The Lowdown: I'd give the food a B+, mostly because I liked it, but there wasn't anything original about it. The service was an A, our waiter was very helpful, kept our glasses full. When you have 10 women at a table, its surely overwhelming. He handled it like a G, lol! Oh, and saying we're meeting at BJ's made me giggle EVERY time…. foodbyskyler likes thiswhatbriscooking posted this

F. Scott Fitzgerald, on his family history:
"As a boy, my father lived in Montgomery County, Maryland. Our family has been mixed up quite a bit in American history. My greatgrandfather's brother was Francis Scott Key who wrote The Star- Spangled Banner; I was named for him. My father's aunt was Mrs Suratt, who was hanged after the assassination of Lincoln because Booth had planned the deed in her house - you remember that three men and a woman were executed."
Douglas Adams, on his literary influences
"Other funny writers, of whom the chief is P.G. Wodehouse, who is, in my opinion, one of the greatest-ever users of the English language — he's sort of the Mozart of the English language, I think. I particularly admire funny writers, because I know how incredibly difficult it is. Evelyn Waugh is very high up there, and Jane Austen. People have this idea that humor is in some way a sort of lesser emotion, which I don't accept at all. I think that good, funny writing is amongst the finest writing of any type, which is why I think that Wodehouse is one of the finest writers who ever lived."
Roald Dahl, age 4, and his mother Sofia.
Roald Dahl based the character of the grandmother in The Witches on his own mother, who often told he and his sisters stories about mythical Norwegian creatures.
"My grandmother was the only grandmother I ever met who smoked cigars. She lit one now, a long black cigar that smelt of burning rubber." — The Witches

Bigg Boss 7: Arman Kohali is Arrested for Physical Abuse with Sofiya Hayat
Sofiya Hayat filed FIR against Arman Kohali after she evicted from Bigg Boss 7 house. And Lonavla Police arrested Arman on Monday for alleged physical abuse.
Arun Chavan, Senior Inspector at Santacruz police station, said: "Following the complaint by Hayat, an FIR was registered against co-contestant Armaan Kohli," Complaint was transferred o their counterparts in Lonavala in Pune district, who conducted further probe into the matter.
Sofiya filed an FIR against Kohli at Santacruz police station here alleging that she was manhandled and subjected to unparliamentary language by him inside the 'Bigg Boss' house.
Arman Kohli has been booked under sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to outrage the modesty of a woman) 506 (criminal intimidation) and 354 a (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
Another side, Arman's father had retaliated by threatening to file a defamation suit against the British singer and model.
Sofiya Hayat said in her statement:
"A 6 feet two inches man hit me on my face with a stick. I thought he will be evicted but he was not. He is a very violent and aggressive person. He should not be given a second chance to hit any other woman. I don't want to teach him a lesson. I just want to do what is right," she had said in a statement.
"I want Armaan to go to jail for at least a month. He should be punished. The world needs to know that India will not tolerate this behaviour, India stands behind its women,"

Beyond the Treadmill: More Cardio Calorie Burners
Answer: You can wake up your cardio routine by mixing things up a little, suggests Joe Dowdell, a celebrity trainer and co-owner of Peak Performance gym in New York City. Try spending 15 minutes on two different cardio machines -- or experiment with some exercises that don't require any machines at all.
Here are some guidelines for designing your own workout: After a five-minute warm-up, do 15 minutes of lower-body work (jump rope, stair running, or kickboxing) and upper-body work (speed bag, ergometer, or swimming). Finish with a five-minute cooldown.

Toyota Recalls Corolla, Matrix Models
The recall affects 1.1 million 2005-08 Corolla and Matrix models prone to stalling.
Toyota Motor Corp. today issued a recall of 1.1 million Corolla and Matrix vehicles from the 2005-08 model years after more than 1,000 complaints of stalling.
In a statement, Toyota said it was addressing some engine control modules that may have been improperly made. All the affected vehicles were sold in North America.
Cracks may develop at solder points or on the electronic component used to protect circuits against excessive voltage — in some cases stopping the engine while the vehicle is being driven, the statement said.
The announcement today raises Toyota recalls since November 2009 to about 12.3 million vehicles worldwide and 10.5 million in the United States, most for sudden acceleration, Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons said.
This week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it was upgrading its investigation of the Corollas.

CA animal group takes on powerful Ringling Bros. circus
Federal trial exposes pervasive use of bullhooks and chains on beloved circus elephants
Sacramento, CA — Sacramento-based Born Free USA (formerly the Animal Protection Institute), a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit against Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (Ringling Bros.) for its abuse of endangered Asian elephants, today revealed startling details uncovered during the trial.
"This groundbreaking trial uncovered clear evidence that Ringling Bros. violates the Endangered Species Act — which states it is illegal to harm, wound or harass an endangered species — by routinely striking, punishing and chaining elephants," said Nicole Paquette, Esq., senior vice president and general counsel for Born Free USA, who was also a witness in the trial. "The evidence, from Ringling's own medical records, also revealed that all of Ringling's adult elephants suffer from some form of ailment relating to prolonged chaining on hard surfaces — yet Ringling continues to put these elephants on the road."
Key findings from the trial include:
- Ringling's medical records, and independent examination of these records by a Board-certified retired veterinarian from the San Diego Zoo, corroborate plaintiffs' claims that elephants suffer injuries and scarring from bullhook strikes and foot injuries and lameness from being continually chained.
- Ringling's transportation records proved plaintiffs' claims that elephants, both in the circus and at Ringling's Florida breeding center, spend extensive amounts of time being chained. These records documented elephants being chained for up to 100 consecutive hours in cramped circus railroad cars.
- Kenneth Feld, President of Ringling's parent company, admitted "all elephant handlers at Ringling strike elephants with bullhooks" and stated he'd seen handlers hit elephants under the chin and behind the ears with a bullhook.
- Ringling's animal behaviorist reported "an elephant dripping blood all over the arena floor during the show from being hooked."
- In internal emails, a Ringling veterinary assistant reported that "[a]fter this morning's baths, at least 4 of the elephants came in with multiple abrasions and lacerations from the hooks." "The lacerations were very visible ... (a handler) applied wonder dust just before the show." Wonder dust is used to stop the bleeding of a wound and it is charcoal in color which covers up the spot from public view.
"It's amazing that in most states in this country, it is illegal to treat a family pet this way, yet for a majestic, endangered animal in a circus it is considered acceptable and routine," adds Paquette.
"All of the facts in our case prove that elephants in the Ringling Bros. circus are suffering greatly and the circus executives see these incredible animals as nothing more than cash machines," said Paquette. "Born Free USA hopes that all compassionate Californians stop funding circus abuse by spending their precious family entertainment dollars elsewhere."
Born Free USA also works through legislative channels to protect elephants from circus abuse. Born Free USA is the sponsor of HB 6555 in Connecticut and SB 1870 in Massachusetts, bills to protect elephants from abusive use of cruel and inhumane devices such as bullhooks and chains. Born Free USA also sponsored Assemblyman Lloyd Levine's California Elephant Protection Act in 2006 and 2007.
Sacramento-based Born Free USA is a leading national non-profit animal advocacy organization working to conserve and protect wildlife in the U.S. and globally. More information is available at www.bornfreeusa.org. Details on the trial against Ringling Bros. circus, including trial documents and exhibits, can be found at www.bornfreeusa.org/ringling.

Network to operate behind a secure firewall to facilitate info sharing
The State Department's e-diplomacy office is preparing to roll out a new internal social networking site called Corridor, intended for departmental employees, according to several online reports.
The department's Information Resource Management Bureau's Office of eDiplomacy is in charge of the Corridor network, which is "quietly moving out of beta and into open enrollment," according to a blog post dated April 19 by Gadi Ben-Yehuda, social media director for the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Corridor has been built on a open-source WordPress platform, which is operating behind a secure firewall, Ben-Yehuda wrote. Like Facebook and LinkedIn, it will allow users to create profiles and share information. Employees voted on the name, Corridor, because it calls to mind the informal discussions held in the office corridors.
State Department social network in the works
State Department shows off digital skills on Twitter
As of March 10, the project was in an "early beta stage with about 250 customers," Moore wrote in a blog entry at the Government In the Lab website.
"Corridor will ensure that skills, work history, your Corridor Reputation, are available at a glance, helping this very large organization [become] more efficient," Moore wrote.
A State Department official declined to comment April 22, saying he needed to get clearance to do an interview on the project. Information was not immediately available from other departmental officials.
A year ago, Boly confirmed that the department was working on an internal social network project, then named Statebook.

This Company Is Making the Right Moves to Grow Its Business
By ANUP SINGH - August 9, 2013 | Tickers: PPG, SHW, VAL
PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) is a specialty chemicals and products company that provides performance and industrial coatings. PPG sells its entire range of products through company-owned stores, home centers, paint dealers, and independent distributors, as well as directly to customers worldwide. So, the company's business is in a good position to benefit from growth in industrial and auto end-markets. This is what helped it to post decent results in more »
This Specialty Chemicals Company Is in for Difficult Times
By ANUP SINGH - August 6, 2013 | Tickers: PPG, SHW, VAL
Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW), the owner of popular brand names like Sherwin-Williams, Dutch Boy, Krylon, Minwax, Thomson's and Water Seal, recently declared its second quarter results. The company missed consensus estimates both on top and bottom lines. What went wrong? And is there any hope going forward? Let's try to find out.
Revenue & earnings
As compared to the year-ago quarter, consolidated net sales increased 5.5% to $2.71 more »
Bain Capital's Hedge Fund Bet On These Stocks
By Meena Krishnamsetty - August 1, 2013 | Tickers: MON, PPG, ULTA
In late July, Brookside Capital, which serves as a long/short equity hedge fund within the larger Bain Capital asset management organization, filed its 13F for the second quarter of 2013 with the SEC. This filing discloses many of the fund's long equity positions in U.S. stocks as of the end of June.

Plenty of Upside Potential With This Industrial Company
By Lee Samaha - July 30, 2013 | Tickers: AA, FAST, MSM, PPG, SHW
Investors in paintings and coatings company PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) have enjoyed a nearly 45% rise over the last year, but the stock has remained in a tight $150-$160 range over the last few months. Is this a sign that it's time to take profits on the stock? Before you rush to hit the sell trigger, you should consider the upside potential in this stock. PPG can move more »
Time to Paint the Town Red?
By Marshall Hargrave - July 24, 2013 | Tickers: PPG, SHW, VAL
Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) fell a whopping 8% the other day. So is now a good time to reload your portfolio with the paint giant? The most recent pullback was due to Mexico's Competition Commission's decision to block its acquisition of Comex. At the same time, the company reported a 13% increase in profit for the second quarter, year over year, but both revenue and earnings missed consensus.

Take Your Pick of One of These Coating Suppliers
By Damon Churchwell - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: HUN, PPG, SHW
Take a look at these companies that reside in the coatings/paints sector within the chemical industry. I will overview two of the largest such manufacturers, along with a past favorite that still has investment value. The premise behind recommending the category is that demand will continue to rise in tandem with a rise in automobile production, as well as overall manufacturing and industrial production.
Here's my discussion on more »
Pick Your Poison: Which Chemical Companies Should You Buy?
By Shweta Dubey - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: LYB, PPG, SHW
Chemicals are used in almost every industry, making the chemical industry highly sensitive to economic slowdown. In the last year the Eurozone financial crisis and concerns about the U.S. fiscal cliff caused underperformance in this industry. However, as these concerns decrease, the industry is expected to grow by 4.3% this year. Three chemical companies are trying to tap the growing market. Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) and LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYBmore »)
Insider Buying at This Coatings and Paints Company
By Meena Krishnamsetty - June 27, 2013 | Tickers: HD, LOW, PPG, SHW, VAL
Valspar (NYSE: VAL) was up about 13% for the year in late May, but over the last month the $5.5 billion market cap coatings and paints company has given up all of those gains. The primary culprit for the decline would appear to be the decision to acquire European coatings manufacturer Inver Group. The business is fairly small relative to Valspar, but investors may still be concerned about integration more »
What Did Sherwin's Investor Day Tell Us?
By Zain Abbas - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: PPG, SHW, VAL
Sherwin-Williams' (NYSE: SHW) recent investor day has sent bullish signals to the market. The optimism is to be seen not only in the company's story but also in the overall industry. Given the recent news on sluggish improvement in non-residential construction markets (shown by the Architectural Billing Index), many had turned bearish on this industry.
However, Sherwin's investor day left us with four key takeaways. The strength in more »
There Are Better Ways to Play the Chemical Sector
By Matthew Frankel - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: AXLL, DD, PPG, DOW
PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) is one of the leading chemical companies in the market, with a diverse product portfolio that includes coatings and glass products for a variety of applications. The company has done very well for itself, with shares up over 55% in the past year, currently just under their all-time highs. After a gain like this, and with a seemingly high valuation, is PPG still attractive enough to more »
Can This Industrial Take Off?
By Lee Samaha - June 15, 2013 | Tickers: AA, AME, HEI, PPG, PCP
It's been a mixed earnings season for industrial-based stocks and Ametek's (NYSE: AME) last set of results provided a pretty good microcosm of what has been going on. In short, companies with heavy exposure to industries like automotive and aerospace have done well, while almost everything else has found things difficult. So what makes Ametek interesting and what can we read across for other companies?

What I Bought and Sold This Quarter
By Lee Samaha - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: COF, CHKP, FAST, INTC, PPG
I would rather forget last month. After nine months of gains, I hit a nasty double digit loss. In truth, this sort of thing was inevitable and the preceding months were as much a part of the process as last month was. The previous month's write-up and links to others can be found here. I do this stuff because I happen to believe that anyone writing about investment should more »
Remaining Housing Bargains Are Not Pretty
By Ted Cooper - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: MAS, OC, PPG
As it becomes more apparent that a broad recovery in the U.S. housing market is underway, many housing-related stocks have shot up to reflect an increase in new housing starts. However, there are still some bargains to be found in stocks whose fortunes are closely tied to the housing recovery.
Bargains drying up
With that said, the number of bargains is quickly disappearing, and those that remain are often more »
Understanding the Housing Recovery in the Language of the Paint Industry
By Zain Abbas - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: PPG, SHW, VAL
Housing recovery debate
The housing recovery has been a point of debate for some time. Both residential and non-residential spending have climbed up as depicted by the rising house prices and Architectural Billing Index (ABI). Some believe that the housing market is on its way to a revival after the housing bubble burst in 2006. On the other hand, many believe that the rest of the economy is teetering away more »
2 Reasons This Stock's Strength Could be Short-lived
By Neha Chamaria - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: DD, PPG, RPM, SHW, VAL
Sherwin-Williams' (NYSE: SHW) stock has been on a tear this year. As of this writing, the stock has gained a solid 17% year-to-date. A great first-quarter scorecard some days back sent the stock soaring to a 52-week high.
Positive housing data has been a huge factor behind Sherwin's wild run, but now that Sherwin's stock has gained a massive 54% over the past one year, it may be more »
2 Reasons This Highflier Will Lose to Peers
By Neha Chamaria - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: HD, PPG, RPM, SHW
Even before Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) reported its first-quarter numbers, Nomura Equity Research put faith in the stock and upgraded it to a buy. The company followed with an earnings report good enough to send its stock to a 52-week high.
Were Sherwin's numbers really that good? Peers are selling their cans of paints faster even as Sherwin fights the loss of a big customer. These two factors could make more »
Large Restructuring in this Industrial Company
By Mike Thiessen - April 28, 2013 | Tickers: AXLL, DD, PPG
Industrial manufacturer PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) has attracted the attention of investors with a number of exciting recent moves. The company launched a long-rumored restructuring plan that finally become public in the second half of 2012, as well as making some strategic acquisitions in various industries. These include its purchases of the privately-held aviation coating manufacturer Deft and the Dutch consumer paint producer Akzo Nobel.
The company also recently completed more »
The Best Stock in the Industrial Sector?
By Lee Samaha - April 27, 2013 | Tickers: AA, PPG, SHW
The story with the industrial sector in this earnings season has been that there has been great variability in performance. It is very much a sector picker's market, and the broad based industrial plays like GE or Alcoa(NYSE: AA) have reported this theme. In short, Europe has been weak, but China has rebounded somewhat, the US is doing okay and the areas of relative strength overall are in more »
Is This Stock Headed for Disaster?
By Neha Chamaria - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: DD, HUN, PPG, DOW
Huntsman's (NYSE: HUN) shares have shed 9% over the past month, and I am surprised by the weakness. Apart from profit booking, I don't see a reason why anyone would sell the stock.
2013 is a critical year for Huntsman on several counts and it appears on target to turn its ailing businesses around this year. In fact, the recent softness in Huntsman's stock is the perfect more »

There is also one where you kill a Tauren, after getting oozes out of Un'Goro. I did that one on my druid first. Talk about being pissed...I haven't done any of the plague related quests on that toon since.
Yeah, that means that I'm not going to be able to do Wrathgate on him, either. :( I may bypass the rest of Dragonblight (he's 74 now...) and go directly to Grizzly Hills.

"We played around with the idea of the post card and thought it was perfect because our daughter was born outside the USA"
"This design was so easy to customize with our own photos and I loved the smaller sized boxes for pics pf tiny hands and feet. It turned out so cute, we ordered more so we could show off our new little guy to even more people. Note: We did have an issue with several envelopes not staying sealed and some arrived empty. I'd checked them before mailing and even applied glue stick to those that came loose before mailing. I used the live chat to notify TP and they reprinted replacements for those cards and expedited shipment of them at no additional charge. Ryan C. solved the problem very quickly and the result is a very satisfied and grateful customer. Just a word of caution about the glue seal."
"What we loved most about our entire Tiny Prints experience was the one-stop-shopping with great design options. Very few placed "get-it" and TP obviously does, from all the little details of matching fonts on envelopes to mailing labels to being able to print a little something on the back of a thank-you card. We will definitely be back to order more event/announcement related items."
"I had professional pictures taken to use for my baby's announcements and of course fell in love with numerous pictures. This card was the perfect design to allow me to use all of the pictures I wanted! Additionally, I was able to do black and white photos on the front for an elegant look and then some color photos on the back to show off his beautiful blue eyes! When the cards arrived they were gorgeous. The photo and card quality were excellent and I have received a ton of compliments!"
"I used both color and b/w images on this card and it came out great. The quality was fantastic and we received so many comments on our card. What a great way to announce the birth of our son!"
