Many research have linked exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic, receipt paper, toys, and other goods with many well being problems from poor growth to cancer, and the FDA has been supporting efforts to obtain and use options. But are these alternatives safer? Researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Chemistry & Biology have created new tests that can classify such compounds' activity with fantastic detail and speed. The advance could supply a fast and cost-efficient way to determine secure replacements for BPA.
Millions of tons of BPA and associated compounds are created each year. "I consider it is fair to say that numerous of these BPA analogs have not been thoroughly tested, yet they are employed in daily plastics such as water bottles, baby bottles, and the lining of canned goods." says lead author Dr. Fabio Stossi of Baylor College of Medicine.
BPA and BPA analogs belong to a class of compounds named endocrine disruptors, so named since they can interfere with the body's endocrine, or hormonal, method. Utilizing their newly developed assays on living cells, Dr. Stossi and his colleagues characterized how 18 unique BPA analogs influence alpha and beta estrogen receptors, which are the key targets of this class of chemical substances. Their research were conducted working with higher throughput microscopy and automated image analysis in unique cell line models, with varying exposures to BPA analogs.
The investigators had been able to record and analyze massive data sets associated to BPA analogs. "The higher throughput method that we've refined throughout the past several years can simultaneously quantify what these compounds are performing to a wide range of processes such as protein levels, nuclear trafficking, DNA binding, protein interactions, transcription, cell cycle, and proliferation," says senior author Dr. Michael A. Mancini, of Baylor and the Texas A&M Health Science Center Institute of Biosciences and Technologies (IBT). "The benefits showed us that many BPA analogs improved or decreased particular receptor activities, while other people were receptor specific clearly, the numerous BPA analogs can have unique properties."
The investigators discovered that numerous BPA analogs have inhibitory effects on the beta form of the estrogen receptor, a significantly less properly-studied steroid receptor that has tumor fighting properties. Many analogs also acted to stimulate the alpha type of the estrogen receptor or they had mixed inhibitory and stimulatory effects. Figuring out precisely how these effects influence human well being will call for more investigation. "These research represent a breakthrough in our ability to focus precious sources on those BPA analogs and other endocrine disrupting chemicals of greatest concern," says coauthor Dr. Cheryl Walker of the IBT.
The scientists note that there are likely lots of much more BPA-like compounds that can be located in products and in the environment. The extensively applicable technologies made use of in the study will allow investigators to swiftly test such compounds for any unexpected or undesirable properties.

The Red Door is where a California wine country feel with farm to table cuisine, boutique wines, craft beer and great service all come symphonically together.
Have ya' heard?
It goes like this:
-Born and raised in New Hampshire
-College U of M
-A couple of years working for Chart House
-A couple of years managing fine dining restaurants in Melbourne, FL
-Owner/operator of Kipling's Restaurant '87 to '93
-Moved to upstate NY and worked as a Restaurant consultant for 2 years
-Moved to West Hartford and began a wine negociant business (also met further wife, Lori)
-Convinced Lori to not only marry him, but to relocate to Florida. (by far the crowning achieve)
-Once kids germinated, I decided to get out of sales and stay closer to home; First opened Tim's Wine Market, then when Tim decided to get into franchising is when Red Door materialized
and that is the short story…if you need more of the details, you'll have to pony up for a big red or small batch whiskey and hear the stories!
executive chef
If you are wondering how all these New England people ended up together, it was sorta by accident; at least for Chef Jason. Raised just 20 minutes from where Jonathan and Richard grew up in New Hampshire, Jason interned at Mountain Lake Country Club in Lake Wales, after graduating from culinary school. He returned to New England and became an upcoming, young chef under the tutelage of famed Boston chefs Jamie Bissonette and Ken Oringer. At the ripe age of 30, he decided to get out of the north east cold and journey to a warmer brighter future.
Chef intended to work at a highly regarded gastropub in Tampa; but while staying at a friends house in Lakeland he ventured into the Red Door. The rest is modern history as Chef Jason has deftly folded his persona and food into what was initially pushed forward by Richard. Together with Jonathan and the rest of the Red Door team, they are working hard at making the dining experience at the Red Door unique every single time you venture in.
Jonathan was raised in the bustling metropolis of Manchester, NH. A gifted long distance runner; he first ran track at Keene State College but ended up at UF as a Gator. It is there where he met his soon to be wife, Shaullanda. On breaks at school, Jonathan would visit his first cousin, Richard, who at the time owned a restaurant in Melbourne, FL called Kipling's. Helping whenever he had time at the restaurant, he caught the family disease "entrepreneur-ism". After College his wife got a gig as a singer for Broadway touring shows (the Lion King, Rent, High School Musical). Jonathan tagged along as a supervisor and manager for all the products sold at the shows. Traveling the entire country he collected as much info as he could on some of the country's best (and not so good) restaurants, vowing to utilize that knowledge. When the couple decided it was time for family, they settled back in Polk county, where Richard had already opened the Red Door. Jonathan jumped aboard and shortly there after helped relocate the biz to its new location on Palmetto St.

"Grandparent Channeling" - Richard DeAngelis
I recently had an industry friend, someone who has a better than your average bear's understanding of food and wine, tell me we needed to "dumb" down our menu. The message was that we needed to be more like our competitors; that we are too eclectic, over the top.
The only item I felt might be over reaching our "market" has been the Bone Marrow. I was hesitant about putting it on the menu - thought it might be a little too aggressive. It was such a hit we had to leave it on our summer menu! Looking at our summer menu, I can't see where we are so "weird" or eclectic as to not being understood. I do suppose that some of our dishes are a bit more suited to days our grandparents were in their hay day. I can remember some of my first "fine dining" experiences with my grandparents, being coxed into trying escargot, eating frog legs after being told it was chicken. Ginormous steaks and heaping plates of food would have been considered over the top.
As I write this, my Chef is visiting his brother in Portland, Oregon. He is popping into as many restaurants as he can, checking out what is not just trending, but also what is becoming standard. My wife and I recently were in New Orleans doing the same. What we learn climbs its way on to our menu. I don't want to discount what my friend was suggesting, but as beef prices fly in the stratosphere, we are working on being sustainable and affordable; not to be crazy different, but to offer great food. Come check out our frog legs; soon we'll have rabbit back on the menu, (something that was on every menu we saw in New Orleans regardless of regionalism or price range. )

We offer a great value in wine as well as a place to hang and enjoy great wines and cheeses as well as cool micro brews.

we are a hospitality business; so we also have a strong desire to serve; not just food or beverage, but our community and the needs of our guests.
to be a generational business; not to be a fad. We want to relevant which comes easiest when you are a student of the game; as in we never think we are high and mighty, we are always trying to learn more and looking for ways in which to improve and get better. Our culture is everything.

Pierre Garcon, wide receiver
2013 stats: 113 receptions, 1,346 yards, 5 TD's
Reasons for over 90 catches:
- The Redskins will be throwing the ball more this season in Jay Gruden's offense.
- Garcon is one of the most reliable targets the Redskins have as he had only seven drops in 181 targets.
- He had 113 catches last season, so he's proven he can go well over 90 catches.
Reasons for under 90 catches:
- The presence of DeSean Jackson will take some catches away from Garcon.
- The presence of Andre Roberts will take some catches away from Garcon.
- A healthy Jordan Reed will take catches away from Garcon.
- The running backs will be more involved in the Redskins passing game.
Pierre Garcon had the best season of his career in 2013, and he is certainly capable of performing at that level again this season. However, part of the reason Garcon was targeted so often last season was the lack of other targets in the Redskins passing game. And while Garcon came through by getting open a lot, there weren't a whole lot of quality options for Robert Griffin III.
With DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts now on board with the Redskins, the likelihood of Pierre Garcon being targeted as much as he did last season isn't that high. The Redskins will be passing the ball more next season, but they will still probably be more of a running team than a high-powered passing team. So I don't think Garcon will exceed 90 catches next season.
2014 Projection: 80 receptions, 1,100 yards

We just learned that we should not throw the campground flier away until we actually leave the park.
I was being so efficient as I prepared to leave early the next morning, so trash was bagged and ready for the dumpster before I went to bed.
90 minutes later, I was awkened by the smell of acrid smoke. I wandered out into the lounge where I discovered that the room was filled with smoke, and only then did the fire alarm go off. (Why it doesn't treat me so kindly when I am cooking, I don't know.)
We couldn't find the source of the smoke, so we called 911. The operator wanted to know our address. It took precious minutes to open the trash to find the brochure and read it through the wet coffee grounds, looking for the address, which she needed before sending the fire department. Thank goodness that we were less than a half mile from the station. It made up for the time delay at 911 headquarters.
From this day forth, we will keep the brochure out UNTIL we actually leave the park.
Afternote: Luckily, minimal damage. How much worse it could have been if I hadn't been able to find the brochure at all (like if I had taken the trash to the dumpster after evening dishes). But I still wonder why the smoke alarm goes off quickly for the delicious smells of grilling steak but it waited so long for the acrid smell of burning electrical wires and a plastic rug in a bin. Is that alarm trying to tell me something?

Take the cover off a shoe box. Stand the shoe box on its side. Color the inside of the shoe box. Make the bottom side of the shoe box the ground by drawing grass, roads or anything that might appear around the base of the mountain. Use tin foil to create a lake or stream. Color the backdrop of the shoe box (the part that is normally the bottom). Draw distant mountains and sky. Add birds if desired. Continue coloring sky on the top side of the shoe box. Stretch out some cotton balls and glue them onto the background as clouds. Cut a hole in the top side of the shoe box to let in more light if needed.
How to Make a Landform Diorama of a Mountain
Dioramas are fun, three-dimensional projects that can be used for a number of topics studied in school. They allow students to be creative and offer the audience a chance to see a realistic model of something. In the early elementary years, students may study landforms such as hills, valleys, plateaus, plains, and mountains. To make a landform diorama of a mountain, you can use a variety of art supplies and even natural supplies collected outdoors.
Things You'll Need
- Shoe box
- Markers, crayons or paint
- Clay
- Grass or pebbles
- Cotton balls
Mold clay into a shape of a mountain. Build it to the right height so that it fits inside the box. Use brown, gray or another color that resembles a natural mountain. Make your mountain bumpy and irregular to look more realistic. Spread glue on the base of your mountain and place it inside the shoe box standing upright. Smear the edges of the mountain's base down on the shoe box.
Collect grass, small twigs, pebbles/sand to add to the bottom of the shoe box around the base of the mountain. Spread a thin layer of glue wherever you want to attach natural materials. Stick some twigs or pieces of an evergreen tree into your clay mountain to create the effect of trees.

Young Jeezy Says Def Jam Tried To Block "TM101" Intro Track
Young Jeezy explains how he had to go to war to get the track on his debut.
Young Jeezy recently chopped it up with Shade 45's Statik Selektah about everything from his latest album TM103 to how he promoted his mixtape Trap or Die by handing out 700,000 copies. During the chat, he also revealed that he had to fight to get the intro track "Thug Motivation 101" on TM101 on the album and how his label, Def Jam, tried to block it from the LP.
"Crazy story with that shit. I was fighting to get that song on the record. The label wanted to take it off. I was like, y'all fucking crazy. It was one of those things. In the beginning, a lot of motherfuckers didn't know where I was going with it. I had to stand on that. It was one of those win or lose things, and I feel like I won, you feel me? It was a dark time, but it was a lot of money.

Haze State is a project that proposes an alternative way of re-imagining historical and anthropological contexts in urban settings. A number of public interactive installations that stages various atmospheric representations evokes sensations, recollects the past and restores subliminal artifacts: in its own becoming a responsive environment. Inserting a strategy in contemporary architecture called "cross-atmosphering" where a coalition of incompatible functions causing a contradictory connection between actions and spaces, the project seeks to turn art audiences into active contributors of the newly mapped experience. Each installation involves digital and scientific interfaces within sustainable environments that mimics natural phenomena.
Haze State currently undertakes the thriving, gentrified neighborhoods of Brooklyn as a point of research/case study. Center to the 19th century manufacturing era, the first few factories occupied towns such as Bushwick, Fulton Ferry/DUMBO/Vinegar Hill, Williamsburg handling sugar, oil, tobacco, coal, brewery along with major twelve-line railroads and the Brooklyn Bridge developments. The industrial/warehouse characteristic remains ubiquitous and becomes primary subject material of this project.

Security Basics

Speaking of mitigation of risk:
It is important to note that regardless of the technology, people are usually the weakest link when employing some use
of encryption. If the tools are too cumbersome to use, they will not encrypt the data properly. If personnel are not
properly trained, then you will not realize the ROI for your encrytion products, that we so desperately try to prove
How we interact with sensitive data should be molded and shaped through a combination of policy, enforcement, training
and the use of the latest tools and techniques. Risk mitigation does not stop with the decision to use full disc or
file level encryption. And I agree, totally, that encryption is not a "silver bullet" to this problem, but only a
component of the overall solution.

PLoS ONE
January, 2014
The ocean is a soup of its resident species' genetic material, cast off in the forms of metabolic waste, shed skin cells, or damaged tissue. Sampling this environmental DNA (eDNA) is a potentially powerful means of assessing whole biological communities, a significant advance over the manual methods of environmental sampling that have historically dominated marine ecology and related fields. Here, we estimate the vertebrate fauna in a 4.5-million-liter mesocosm aquarium tank at the Monterey Bay Aquarium of known species composition by sequencing the eDNA from its constituent seawater. We find that it is generally possible to detect mitochondrial DNA of bony fishes sufficient to identify organisms to taxonomic family- or genus-level using a 106 bp fragment of the 12S ribosomal gene. We conclude that eDNA has substantial potential to become a core tool for environmental monitoring, but that a variety of challenges remain before reliable quantitative assessments of ecological communities in the field become possible.
Characterization of fecal concentrations in human and other animal sources by physical, culture-based, and quantitative real-time PCR methods
Water Research
July, 2013
Jared S. Ervin, Todd L. Russell, Blythe A. Layton, Kevan M. Yamahara, Dan Wang, Lauren M. Sassoubre, Yiping Cao, Catherine A. Kelty, Mano Sivaganesan, Alexandria B. Boehm, Patricia A. Holden, Stephen B. Weisberg, and Orin C. Shanks.
The characteristics of fecal sources, and the ways in which they are measured, can profoundly influence the interpretation of which sources are contaminating a body of water. Although feces from various hosts are known to differ in mass and composition, it is not well understood how those differences compare across fecal sources and how differences depend on characterization methods. This study investigated how nine different fecal characterization methods provide different measures of fecal concentration in water, and how results varied across twelve different fecal pollution sources. An in silico exercise was performed to assess how different characterization methods can impact identification of the dominant fecal pollution source in a mixed source sample. This potential for disagreement in minor or dominant source identification based on different methods of measurement represents an important challenge for water quality managers and researchers.
Emerging frontiers in social-ecological systems research for sustainability of small-scale fisheries

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) account for most of the livelihoods associated with fisheries worldwide and support food security for millions globally, yet face critical challenges from local threats and global pressures. Here, we describe how emerging concepts from social-ecological systems thinking can illuminate potential solutions to challenges facing SSF management, with real-world examples of three key themes: (1) external drivers of change; (2) social-ecological traps; and (3) diagnostic approaches and multiple outcomes in SSF. The purpose of this article is to aid practitioners by moving a step closer toward making these theoretical concepts operational and to stimulate thinking on how these linkages can inform a transition toward sustainability in small-scale fisheries.

We quantified illegal and unmonitored harvest of three endangered sideneck turtles (Podocnemis spp.) by examining discarded turtle shells in 29 riverine communities both up- and down-river from the Arrau Turtle Wildlife Refuge in the Middle Orinoco, Venezuela. Considering historical accounts of widespread turtle husbandry in the area, Podocnemis spp. life history, and population recovery for these species in community-based conservation programs elsewhere in South America, we recommend community-managed captive breeding of faster-maturing P. unifilis and P. vogli to satisfy turtle consumption needs. These measures, along with improved nesting-beach protection, may allow recovery of populations of P. expansa and make possible their legal subsistence harvest in the future.

A rising tide of acidity is overwhelming the global ocean. Estuaries and near-shore waters fall under the jurisdiction of states and the federal government, mandating treatment under the Clean Water Act (CWA), but criteria for action are uncertain and unclear. The acidity of the marine environment has increased by roughly a third since 1750, changing chemical processes vital to life, including shell and coral formation and the growth of bony structures in fish. This massive change in ocean chemistry is a growing water quality problem that focuses attention on the surprisingly difficult business of determining whether and how a particular water quality standard has been violated. Such attention brings with it a larger question of whether water quality criteria are legally sufficient under the CWA if they are difficult or impossible to test as a practical matter, and highlights the changing role of the act as it is used to combat a new class of water pollution.
Metagenomic profiling of microbial composition and antibiotic resistance determinants in Puget Sound

Jesse A. Port, James C. Wallace, William C. Griffith, and Elaine M. Faustman.
Human-health relevant impacts on marine ecosystems are increasing on both spatial and temporal scales. Traditional indicators for environmental health monitoring and microbial risk assessment have relied primarily on single species analyses and have provided only limited spatial and temporal information. More high-throughput, broad-scale approaches to evaluate these impacts are therefore needed to provide a platform for informing public health. This study is the first comparative metagenomic survey of Puget Sound and provides baseline data for further assessments of community composition and antibiotic resistance determinants in the environment using next generation sequencing technologies. In addition, these genomic signals of potential human impact can be used to guide initial public health monitoring as well as more targeted and functionally-based investigations.

Sea level along most of California's coast is rising and the best science available suggests it will continue to rise at an increasing rate in the future. In addition, climate change will bring higher air and water temperatures, changes in precipitation and runoff, thus changes in water supplies and quality, and more extreme tides and storm surges that will aggravate coastal flooding and erosion. While uncertainty remains as to how these changes will unfold in any one place along the coasts and embayments of California, further change is assured.
Are coastal professionals preparing for these changes? This report presents results of a survey of California coastal managers that shows that neither the state nor coastal communities are standing by until science and policy questions are settled. Communities along both the open ocean coast and along bay and estuarine shorelines are beginning to plan for climate change impacts. Despite scientific uncertainties and the economic challenges of recent years, they are rising to the challenge of coastal climate change. In light of already experienced changes, and the scientifically robust projections of additional and accelerating impacts of climate change in the future, this survey aimed to assess coastal professionals' concerns with climate change impacts, their activities to date to plan and prepare for them, and the needs and barriers they encounter in planning for climate change.
Why Ocean Acidification Matters to California, and What California Can Do About It: A Report on the Power of California's State Government to Address Ocean Acidification in State Waters
March, 2012
California's ocean is becoming more acidic as a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants. This fundamental change is likely to have substantial ecological and economic consequences for California and worldwide.
This document is intended to be a toolbox for understanding and addressing the drivers of an acidifying ocean. We first provide an overview of the relevant science, highlighting known causes of chemical change in the coastal ocean. We then feature a wide variety of legal and policy tools that California's government agencies can use to mitigate the problem.
The State has ample legal authority to address the causes of ocean acidification; what remains is to implement that authority to safeguard California's iconic coastal resources.

Increasing concerns regarding oil spills, air pollution, and climate change associated with fossil fuel use have increased the urgency of the search for renewable, clean sources of energy. This assessment describes the potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) to produce not only clean energy but also potable water, refrigeration, and aquaculture products. Higher oil prices and recent technical advances have improved the economic and technical viability of OTEC, perhaps making this technology more attractive and feasible than in the past. Relatively high capital costs associated with OTEC may require the integration of energy, food, and water production security in small island developing states (SIDSs) to improve cost-effectiveness. Successful implementation of OTEC at scale will require the application of insights and analytical methods from economics, technology, materials engineering, marine ecology, and other disciplines as well as a subsidized demonstration plant to provide operational data at near-commercial scales.

Everyone knows tennis is a cruel mistress, most of all the players. She's exacting, calculating and fickle. Serves rained down at 130 mph are judged within millimeters; deciding matches, tournaments, seasons. Every week the players (and anyone who cares to look) know exactly where they stand in the grand scheme of things; the tour's 52-week rolling rankings, virtually unique in sport, do a fair job of minimizing conjecture. Tennis moves on with devastating speed. No sooner does a player kiss the championship hardware does the process to replace him begin, a process known all too well by Juan Carlos Ferrero
Ferrero was a fixture on the ATP Tour for over a decade before playing his last professional match this week in Valencia, his hometown event and the one he co-owns. More than one of the tour's transient role players, Ferrero summited many of the highest peaks the sport offers. He reached the ATP No. 1 ranking, something only 25 men have ever done. He reached three major finals, securing his place in history by winning at Roland Garros in 2003. That said, how will we remember Juan Carlos Ferrero; for what he did, for what he didn't; or as a mere footnote?
The 2003 season in which Ferrero made his biggest mark was one of sea change. Andre Agassi won the last major of his storied career in Australia. Agassi played for three more years and reached another major final, but that title marked the de facto end of the greatest era in American tennis. Ferrero backed up his Monte Carlo title by winning at the de facto claycourt world championships at Roland Garros. Ferrero was temporarily installed as the new king of clay, after being upset in the prior year's final by his fellow Spanish Armada-mate Albert Costa. At Wimbledon, the extremely talented and at the time terminally frustrating Roger Federer finally lived up to his billing with his maiden major. While the US Open was won by big serving Andy Roddick; a sign that the sport's dominant nation wasn't receding, only reloading in the post-Agassi/Sampras era…or so we all assumed at the time.
Ferrero followed up that transitional 2003 with a pockmarked 2004. He began the year burnishing his resume as a man for all surfaces, backing up his US Open final with a semifinal run in Australia. Then the chicken pox, then a first round loss in Monte Carlo, then a rib injury and a second round loss at Roland Garros and so on and so on. The player who held the World No. 1 slot in fall 2003, didn't even end 2004 among the world's top 30. Injuries are a natural part of athletic life, but Ferrero ended 2004 staring down an even more menacing, and wholly natural, part of athletic life…being passed by.
Ferrero had the opportunity to salvage his annus horribilis in the 2004 Davis Cup final. Spain would play Roddick and the USA, on clay, in Seville, Spain. The team captain had Ferrero on his roster, a still potent ex-No. 1 Carlos Moya a bit down the bench and sometime top tenner Tommy Robredo there as well. Who would score the pivotal win in the tie? None of them. It was Moya's little buddy. A stringy haired 18 year old Mallorqueno who wasn't even ranked in the ATP top 50 at the time, Rafael Nadal.
Nadal, then, wasn't yet the King of Clay. He'd never even played at Roland Garros; a career-threatening foot injury had taken him out of the tournament in 2004. Ferrero on the other hand had reached four consecutive semifinals in Paris. Nadal's biggest match prior to his Davis Cup staredown of Roddick was a straight-sets win over the nascent No. 1 Roger Federer in Miami. The kid lost in the next round to big-hitting Chilean Fernando Gonzalez. Unproven, with no real laurels to speak of, Captain Jordi Arrese picked Nadal, over Ferrero to play against the American No. 1 Roddick. The reeling Ferrero was relegated to doubles…and he didn't exactly shine there either. He and Robredo were thrashed love, three and two by the Bryan Brothers. Carlos Moya would clinch the tie with his win in the fourth rubber of the tie, but it was the kid, Nadal, who was feted as the hero. The toughest beating Ferrero took from Nadal happened when they were on the same team.
In September, we celebrated the end of Andy Roddick's career; a feat impossible without mentioning a certain Swiss man. The collateral damage of the Federer supremacy was the eclipse of Andy Roddick. No doubt, the American had a fruitful career, contesting five major finals (and every time Roger Federer wasn't across the net, winning). Roddick eventually would win the Davis Cup and reached No. 1 in 2003 as well, but his resume pales next to Federer's. Roddick's good fortune was that no matter how much more his tormenter won, he was still the top dog in American tennis. Seeing the world, millions in endorsements, supermodel wife; sign us—and pretty much every other guy in the country—up for that and we'd forget about asking the genie for more wishes. Ferrero, on the other hand, had Nadal right in his kitchen.
It took a little over a year for Ferrero to go from top of the world, and Spanish No. 1 to an also-ran. By the time Roland Garros 2005 came around, the buzz was all about the potential of another Spanish triumph, not by Ferrero, the champ just two years prior, but by the kid, Nadal. Nadal with his exotic piratas, wild hair and unconventional bolo forehand didn't look like anything the tennis world had seen before and certainly not like the relatively clean cut, low key, conventional Ferrero. Ferrero had a strong claycourt season in 2003, but Nadal dominated the surface in 2005 leaving Ferrero no quarter. They met four times that year; Ferrero couldn't muster a set. By the end of 2005, Nadal had won eleven titles, virtually sweeping the clay court calendar with eight titles on the terre battue. Ferrero improved on his ranking, climbing from a low water mark of No. 98 to finish 17th in the world
That's as far as the comeback would go. After finishing in the top five for three consecutive years, Ferrero never again cracked the top ten, at times falling out of the Top 100 altogether. After winning Roland Garros in 2003, Ferrero wouldn't win another tournament of any size for a further six years. Meanwhile the legend of Nadal continued to grow. Yes, Ferrero won Roland Garros; just two years later Nadal annexed it. Once, then twice, then thrice, then a fourth time, he missed a year in the winner's circle, but after eight visits to the starting line, Nadal had claimed seven titles. Ferrero scored two wins in the 2000 Davis Cup final, after being shelved in favor of Nadal in 2004, Ferrero would only play five more Davis Cup matches over the next eight years. The more Nadal won, the more Ferrero faded to the background; playing Federer to Ferrero's Roddick.
The man from Valencia claimed sixteen titles, was one of only eight major winners to play on tour this year (six remain) and was the second-to-last World No. 1 before the now nine year reign of the Big 3, but did Ferrero have a Hall of Fame career? We would be hard pressed to say yes. He had a phenomenal year in 2003, but unlike Roddick or Michael Chang, a single slam winner in Newport; Ferrero didn't consistently hover near the top of the world order, nor did he routinely challenge the top dogs on anything approaching big stages. Ferrero retires a transitional figure, deep in the shadow of his countryman, where he spent almost the entirety of his career. The greatest opponent of Ferrero's career was Nadal, a man he never played on a big stage. We can never minimize what Ferrero's achieved, but what will history have to say about him? Probably: "He was the Spanish guy before Nadal." Is that fair? No. Is it sport...you know it.

Suzanne Wedding Cake
Today's wedding cake has been a bit of a lesson in the life of wedding cake making.
Never before have I underestimated the difficulties the colour of a cake can cause!
This week started off pretty humid anyway which made covering the cakes a little more tricky as the buttercream didn't seem to stay chilled for long. Then there was this oh so deep blue that had to be just right. I am quite particular about the flavour of the fondant I use being good as well as the quality and so I very rarely by precoloured fondant and choose to colour myself. BIG mistake! The fondant lost all it's strength and just kept tearing on the rather pointed corners of the cake. Anyhow, hydrangeas and small blossoms saved the day and I actually ended up producing a very pretty cake :-)

Latest Review
A very sociable and friendly hostel full of RTW travellers. I booked a dorm room but on arrival was allocated a shared 'private room' with three others. The room was spacious with an ensuite. The appeal of this hostel is it's cave rooms and lovely lounge (where breakfast is served) with views over the town. I took up the hostel's offer of a discounted 'Green Tour' which takes in the local sights. A good choice. Get up early to watch the balloons-the hostel is a great viewing spot.Read More

Glee changed their facebook photo to this one.I still can't believe this is actually happening.
I've always rooted for Finn. I laughed when he said something funny, smiled when he mastered a dance move, and swooned when he did something unbelievably sweet. But the only reason we all fell head over heels for Finn was because Cory Monteith, with his kind heart and soul, brought him to life. This past season, I came up with the perfect way to describe my favorite character on Glee and, due to the amazing work Cory left behind, it will always be true: "Finn Hudson: Out-shining all other men on TV since 2009."
From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you. Thank you, Cory, for touching our lives and being a genuinely exemplary person. Rest in peace.
Cory Monteith // his last opening credit
Glee changed their facebook photo to this one.I still can't believe this is actually happening.
The world just lost one of our best. Cory Monteith, 1982-2013.
"Go tell your idol you love them…because i don't have mine anymore."
RIP Cory Monteith 1982-2013
This is how I will remember you, with your big happy smile. Thank you for inspiring me ♥

To begin with, it's worth quantifying just how bad asthma is in the United States. A recent study found that seventeen percent of Americans aged 12 through 19 had asthma, compared to eight percent of the same age group in Great Britain. When all ages were taken into consideration, the comparative rate remained about the same: 13% of Americans vs. six and a half percent of Brits.(1)
Asthma Medicines
There is not much clinical proof of a direct causal link between asthma and high blood pressure.(2) Even when study subjects are calibrated to take into account variables such as social economic status, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI), the causal link between high blood pressure and asthma just isn't there.
While some research has shown that asthma can heighten the likelihood of cardiovascular disease and related symptoms such as high blood pressure, the scientific consensus is that more research is needed. However, a direct link has been clearly identified between asthma medicines and high blood pressure.(3) Perhaps even more surprisingly, the reverse has also been found to be true.(4) Some high blood pressure medicines such as beta blockers have been found to trigger asthma symptoms.
Principal Causes of High Blood Pressure
The kinds of things that directly cause high blood pressure include chronic kidney problems, thyroid disease and sleep apnea. Women who take birth controls also typically experience a rise in their blood pressure rate.
But perhaps the greatest causes of all when it comes to HBP is age. As people grow older, the human body gradually breaks down. During this gradual decline, other problems and ailments such as asthma may become intertwined with increased blood pressure, without really being linked.
Later on in life, women who opt for menopausal hormone treatments can once again, just like when they were on birth control pills, experience a rise in blood pressure. In the case of young children below the age of 12, high blood pressure typically is caused by kidney disease or some other more serious condition than asthma.

A Brooklyn man claims increased security at Lenox Hill hospital -- because of the presence of Beyonce and Jay-Z -- kept him from seeing his prematurely born twins ... this according to a report.
Neil Coulon tells the NY Daily News he has been repeatedly kept out of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by the couple's security. He also claims his relatives were booted out of the waiting room by bodyguards wearing headsets.
He tells the paper, "Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU and it happened once on Friday -- just because they wanted to use the hallway."
A rep for the hospital told the NYDN she hadn't personally heard of any complaints. We reached out for comment as well ... haven't heard back.
Bullsh*t! I am so mad after reading this. Real, fake, black, white, spanish, or anyone else for that matter should have the same rights. I have lost all respect for them. Who the heck do they think they are?? Everyone that enters the hospital gets the same respect from staff. Is that not good enough? Greedy and so self centered!
For one thing no one and I mean no one could ever keep me away from my babies. I would nicely say to the security you have five seconds to move so I can go to NICU. If they don't find the nearest hospital phone, call the hospital administrators and tell them of the situation. After I hung up with the big wigs then it would be time to call my lawyer and the local news and radio stations. Trust me, I am loud and they wouldn't get me to shut up unless you take me to the NICU. I see a major lawsuit! Who cares if Beyonce and Jay-z have a child. They are no different from everyone else. Its funny to what lengths they are going through to hide her surrogate cause we all know she is faking it. And not to mention the next time she is caught on camera she will have a nice and smooth belly, hmmm wonder why? Cause she's a fake! Enough said!
Ridiculous, all this hoopla draws more attention. She could have snuck into the hospital and whether she delivered her own baby or had a surrogate do it, could have delivered and been in and out. While never a fan of JZ and lukewarm about his Queen, this latest over the top behavior leaves me even colder about the two of them.
it is sick how they deprived other parents from seeing newborn babies. beyonce is all so full of herself. thinking the world revolves around her..hopefully she still has money when her kid is grown . as with a name like blue. that kid will be teased alot. and will need therapy when she is older. so beyonce better save the millions she makes. what is with celebrities and these stupid names?they need to think of how the kid will need to go through life with stupid names and how it will affect them. beyonce is so full of herself. she only thinks of herself.
Wouldnt you call 911 if you were kept from your child or state police?
What a selfish heartless bitch. And the hospital is just as to blame. Disgusting. If you want privacy then have a homebirth. Or with the $1.3 million you spent you could hire an entire medical staff to accompany you home after your selfish, unnecessary and dangerous cesarian.
..ok..just read New York Post...dad was NOT kept from his newborns..won't bother typing..but you can read...I DO agree...a little bit much all the security crap..why not just post her personal security outside her room...no more is necessary...no mom after a c section is out walking the halls when u have a luxury suite to relax in..give me a break!..she just needs too go home and have private doctor/nurse take care of her..enuff when the priveledges and putting the hspt thru all of this..nutz enuff being in there!
all yall mother******* shut the hell up and the reason she did well both of them because look who they is people kill they self over beyonce so what if they see her they will go fool in that hospital
The hospital should be sued and should Beyonce if they allowed those people to check in and have their babies they shouldn't put up with this. Beyonce I know you think you're important but nobody cares you had a baby. You and your husband make me and most others sick what a couple of losers. Oh and we don't want to see pictures either please spare us.
I'm not buying that it happened at all.
As a parent of a former micropreemie (100% healthy now) who spent 4 months in NICU, there is NO WAY anyone would have kept me away from my baby. They'd have to physically restrain me and/or remove me from the premise, at which time I'd get the real PD involved. Lawyers are for later, when I'd be sueing the hospital (who allowed such "security,") and the couple and/or whoever hired the "security."
I find it very suspect that this father has spoken only to the NYDN. You better believe I'd be telling whatever news agency would listen...and those that wouldn't too.
all this pompous BS just so they can sell the photo of the kid to some BS rag.
They will sell it but to some high end magazine and for millions, it wont be the enquirer!

Office 365: An in depth first look at Lync Online
Summary: A series covering Office 365 in depth: in this screenshot gallery, an in-depth look at the desktop and cloud-based Lync Online.
17 of 22Image
Here you can see the Lync Web App loading (it doesn't take very long for a very comprehensive and feature heavy application) and how it appears on the Lync client application on the desktop.
Though the Lync Web App is ideal for anyone ('guests') outside the company or enterprise to access a conference call or shared collaboration service, it can also be used for those within the company who are working from home or do not have the Lync client installed. Either way, it's merely another access point to gain entry into the service.
You will notice the Lync Web App is not only very similar looking to the client, but will also see that it performs nearly all of the functionality that is provided by the desktop Lync client. The only thing visibly not available to use is the VoIP facility, so one would need to dial in to the service, or have Lync call out to you.
Kick off your day with ZDNet's daily email newsletter. It's the freshest tech news and opinion, served hot. Get it.

Kid's heads are filled with so many nonfacts that when they get out of school they're totally unprepared to do anything. They can't read, they can't write, they can't think. Talk about child abuse.
