The 2012-13 CourtVision Awards: Leading ScorersMike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Carmelo Anthony led the NBA in scoring this season, but not everywhere. Every player has their own sweet spots — Shane Battier loves the corners, and Al Jefferson is in love with the left block. After an entire season of play, it's interesting to look at scoring through a spatial lens. Here's a look at who was most productive from different parts of the floor during the 2012-13 regular season.
The Interior
Basketball remains a fairly simple game. If you can regularly score close to the basket, you have a good chance of winning. It's fitting that LeBron James, the league's best player, is also its leading scorer close to the basket. Between his post game, his attacking, and his brilliance in transition, James creates and converts tons of opportunities at the rim. As a result, he is the most successful player within the NBA's most vital space.
The Midrange
Anthony is a much more efficient jump shooter than he used to be. On his way to the scoring title, he actually relied on jump shooting more and shots in the paint less. The combination of his improved jump shot and playing alongside better guards enabled Anthony to score a ton of points away from the basket. He especially loves that midrange shot just off the right block, where no player made more baskets in 2012-13.
Kobe Bryant is one of the most proficient elbow shooters of all time. Using a combination of great footwork, sneaky veteran tricks, and a battle-tested jumper, Kobe can get his team a decent scoring chance in almost any possession, a skill that seems very undervalued in conventional player assessments. This past season, Kobe's jump shooting was more concentrated than ever, as he chucked up a ton of shots near that right elbow. Late-era Kobe provides a great role model for younger superstars seeking ways to extend their offensive half-life despite declining athleticism.
No player in the NBA shoots more midrange shots than LaMarcus Aldridge. The guy is in love with 2-point jumpers. As a result, he led the league in scoring around the left elbow, which is a testament more to his volume than his efficiency. Aldridge hits these shots at a rate that is only slightly above the league average. As he matures, it will be interesting to see if his efficiency improves; if it does he will become both a very effective scorer and an important spacing agent for his teammates.
Jefferson is perhaps the most predictable scorer in the NBA. If you were watching a Jazz game during the last few seasons and Big Al was on the floor, chances are you would find him loitering some place around the left block. Nobody in the league attempted nearly as many shots as Jefferson in that area. It will be fascinating to see if this changes at all as he moves into a new "offense" in Charlotte, but I don't think it will. Regardless, Jefferson is great because he's a pure low-post guy, perhaps the last of a dying breed of NBA forwards.
When the Heat acquired Battier a few years ago, the entire climate around the team changed. Battier is a "pro's pro" who can help your team win basketball games in countless ways. However, I don't think many people expected Battier to emerge as the NBA's best corner shooter. No player made nearly as many corner 3s as Battier during the regular season. I always say that corner 3s are more team accomplishments than individual ones, but it still takes a real shooter to knock down the actual shot, and nobody did that more than Battier.
The best young perimeter shooter is Steph Curry. Before those epic Finals, you could argue that Curry was the breakout star of the NBA playoffs. There was nothing more exhilarating than watching the Warriors guard heat up during a playoff game in Oakland. He is a great shooter from everywhere on the court, but was particularly proficient along the right wing, where he made more shots than anyone else.
In a league busting at the seams with elite point guards, Damian Lillard stands out as one of the best young talents. Lillard was obviously the steal of last year's draft class, and proved to be an effective scorer and facilitator for the upstart Blazers. One of the most important shots for NBA point guards is the 3 at the top of the arc; if you can make this shot, you keep defenses honest and open up attacking lanes off the dribble. No player hit more shots from this key space than Lillard, which is truly impressive considering his age. Many great point guards never develop a reliable 3-point shot at any stage of their career. Lillard showed up with one.
Poor Kevin Martin … he will go down in history as a key component of the dumbest NBA trade of the decade. It's not his fault. Regardless, Martin remains an elite shooter who is especially great in catch-and-shoot scenarios along the left wing, where he led the league in scoring this season.
Corey Brewer might be one of the preeminent "3-and-D" guys in the league. As a scorer, he has come a long way as a perimeter threat, and his ability to knock down corner 3s provides the Nuggets with a key spacing tactic that opens the floor for his high-flying teammates. Brewer especially loves the left corner, a.k.a. Ray Allen's happy spot, where he outscored everyone this season.

BANGALORE: A week after snapping his four decade old association with BJP, former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa came down heavily on BJP, calling it 'a bigger evil' than Congress and JD(S).
"BJP is a bigger evil than Congress or JDS. So I have decided not to return to my previous party under any circumstance" Yeddyurappa said. However, he said he cannot forget the party as it has given him everything right from the post of president of a municipality to CM.
The 70-year-old former BJP strongman, who is set to formally launch his regional outfit Karnataka Janata Party in Haveri on Sunday said he has distanced himself from RSS ideology and is now wedded to the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, BR Ambedkar and Jayaprakash Narayan.
Yeddyurappa claimed that he has the support of 50 to 55 BJP MLAs and 12 MPs. He dared BJP leadership to take action against his supporters. In the same tenor, he also took on chief minister Jagadish Shettar. "I made a mistake in making Shettar CM. But I do not want to topple it and face allegations that I was responsible for it,'' he said.

Rated 5 out of 5 by borntorun from Great exerciser! The Jolly Jumper with door clamp is a great exerciser for little ones. We bought this for our 4 month old son and he absolutly loves it! He could spend so much more time it. It is nice as is he unable to sit up on his own, but this allows him to see what is going on around him and not spend so much time on his back. It has been a great addition in our kitchen; he can jump while I make dinner or get dishes done, all while still interacting with him. I highly recommend the product to anyone with a little one (parent, grandparentâ¦). It is also small and portable enough to pack on a holiday or bring to a friends house that will entertain them. You need a framed doorway to use the door clamp.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mimata from The Jolly Jumper brings a lot of joy and laughter to our family. Our toddler enjoys it very much. We found it very safe. However at first it can be a little bit challenging to set the baby in place by yourself. But after many uses it gets easier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by linnyj from Great Product! My 5 month old son loves his Jolly Jumper! It is great for strengthening his neck, back and legs. It easily clamps on my door frame and can be set up and taken down very easily. My only complaint would be the amount of time it takes to put him in it; however, I know he is safely strapped in, so it is worth the effort. There is a lot of support around his abdomen and he seems quite comfortable when he's in it. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by welltrum from Great Product My daughter loves this and I would recommend the Jolly Jumper over other brands because it can easily be adjusted to fit. My daughter is on the small side and she also has a Tigger and a Graco bumper Jumper but I have to use receiving blankets just so she won't slip out! Although it's a little hard to get baby in... once she's in, she LOVES it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by fruitloops from Great Jumper I love this jumper. The C-clamp is very tight which ensures it stays where it's suppose to. Very easy to put the baby into the sling. My son absolutely loves it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RylanBaby from My son LOVED this jumper. He used it frequently when he was smaller. It has a weight limit that should be strictly followed. My son was getting close to the weight limit, and the jumper came off the door jam. But never had an issue with it other than that. The snaps make it easier to get them in and out. I would recommend to a friend. The price was great too

From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. Dr. Guth and her staff handled my shy cat very well, and took time to answer my questions and give us a plan for the future. I know when I take my cat there he is in good hands.Like this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch
I take both my cats to Dr. Guth at Caring for Cats, and I am really pleased with this practice. Dr. Guth and her staff are kind and sweet, which helps put my boys at ease, and they are willing to chat with me about any concerns I have without making me feel rushed. As an added bonus, the cats know they won't run into any dogs, and I get the peace of mind of seeing a cat specialist.

Had anyone suggested during the 1980s that Bob Dylan would re-invent himself yet again during the decades that followed, to once more become the music-world's most respected artist, while achieving number one albums along the way, they may well have been met with a wry smile, if not outright derision. But somehow Dylan pulled it off and after a lengthy period of lacklustre music and performances he again became the most important icon of the rock age. This documentary film follows the career and music of Bob Dylan from the aftermath of his stunning 1989 comeback album Oh Mercy and follows his story up to 2006's masterpiece, Modern Times. Featuring a wealth of archive material, performance footage, exclusive and classic interviews, contributions from many close confidantes plus writers and Dylan experts Johnny Rogan, Derek Barker, Clinton Heylin and Nigel Williamson, along with location film, news reports and some of the finest music recorded during the last 20 years

Man given warning after blowing cannabis smoke in officers' faces
Not the brightest. Man walks past cops Portland St 7pm blows smoke in faces which smells of weed. Found with joint. Cannabis warning given
Greater Manchester Police say a man has been warned after blowing cannabis smoke in the faces of officers.
The man who the police described as 'not the brightest' was found with a joint on Portland Street around 7pm last night.
- ITV Report
Cannabis farms worth £1.35 million found in Everton
Cannabis farms worth £1.35 million have been found close to the site where Liverpool's biggest ever cannabis farm was found two weeks ago.Read the full story ›
Huge cannabis haul found at Cheshire mansion
A massive cannabis farm has been found at the former Cheshire county mansion, Daresbury Hall.
Six hundred plants, with an estimated street value for almost £750,000, were discovered in an annex at the estate in Runcorn after Cheshire Police were alerted through 'local intelligence'.
The force said inquiries are continuing as asked anyone with information to contact them on 101.
"This was a significant find and fortunately we have been able to put a stop to it."
Explosive message against North West cannabis farms
Police in the region have launched a campaign to tackle the increasing menace of cannabis farms.
The initiative is intended to drum home the dangers of growing the illegal drug.
And firefighters in Merseyside came up with an explosive idea to get the message across.
Ann O'Connor has the details:-
Cannabis farm set alight on Merseyside to highlight risk of growing drugs
A cannabis farm seized at a house on Merseyside has been set alight by firefighters.
It's to highlight the risk of growing cannabis in secret.
The emergency services say it overloads electricity circuits and by passes other safety measures.

Police need the public's help to find cannabis farms
Police across the North West are trying to crackdown on cannabis farms. They're handing out scratch and sniff cards so the public can identify the signs and the smell if cannabis is being cultivated nearby. Police are keen trace farms, as they know they're used to fund other types of crime.
Police crackdown on cannabis farms
Police across the North West are launching a campaign to crack down on cannabis farms.
They're giving out scratch and sniff cards to the public to educate and inform them about the signs that a cannabis farm may be nearby.
It's estimated that cannabis with a street value of 80 thousand pounds can be produced in one terraced house in just three months.
Police and Fire crews on Merseyside are putting on a demonstration of the fire risk that cannabis farms pose to the public.
Merseyside police bust cannabis farms worth £6.5m
Cannabis farms worth £6.5 million have been uncovered by Merseyside Police during a month long crackdown on organised crime.
Officers from across Liverpool, Wirral, St Helens, Sefton and Knowsley seized 6,500 plants from 84 cannabis farms. More than 160 people have been arrested in connection with growing cannabis and cash totalling £111,000 seized from them.
Superintendent Dave Charnock said the results showed what could be achieved when the public shared information with the police about drugs in their communities.
One of the largest was an 826 plants cannabis farm at a property off Leyfield Road in West Derby last Thursday.
The range in size and scale of some of these farms has been vast and it is clear that they have been set up by people who are highly organised and know what they are doing. "Many of the larger set-ups have been very sophisticated, with expensive lighting and irrigation systems to replicate the hot, humid conditions these plants need to grow. "Officers and support staff have worked tirelessly to achieve these excellent results often in difficult conditions and it has been reassuring to have so much support from the public who have given us the information we need.
"I am sure these results will show the people of Merseyide just what we can achieve when we work together to stop drug dealing and drug supply blighting our communities."
Six arrests in Merseyside drugs crackdown
Police have arrested six men after dawn raids at 10 addresses across Merseyside.
The men, aged between 20 and 51, are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to produce cannabis.
During the 10 month investigation officers have uncovered four cannabis farms at addresses in Kirkdale, Fazakerley, Anfield and Tuebrook worth around £250,000.
Searches of the addresses are still being carried out by officers, but officers have already recovered a large amount of cash.
We are committed to stamping out the illegal drug-dealing activities that cause misery to the lives of so many. Work undertaken by the Force shows that many of the firearms incidents we see on Merseyside are linked to the cultivation of cannabis and those involved in cannabis cultivation do not care about the consequences that their actions have on communities and we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour."
Those arrested have been taken to police stations across Merseyside where they will be interviewed by detectives.

The Pool BoysHD Closed Captioning
J.B. Rogers
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
Plot Summary
A funny, colorful, and surprisingly smart comedy, THE POOL BOYS tells the story of Alex Sperling, Harvard-bound valedictorian, who loses his summer internship and heads to Los Angeles to work for his charming and successful cousin Roger. Unfortunately, Roger isn't quite the accomplished businessman he's made himself out to be – he actually dropped out of Harvard and now works as a pool boy. A series of mishaps force Alex and Roger to squat in the stunning mansion of one of Roger's clients, where they join forces with Laura, a local escort, to start an escort business. The company grows like wildfire as Alex and Roger get caught in more and more hilarious situations, from shotgun-wielding celebrities to bar mitzvahs and encounters with sadistic lesbian businesswomen, finally culminating in one giant party… but when Alex's parents and their Harvard-alumni friends show up, they have to turn the bash into a Harvard event in order to save both the business and Alex's future.
Customer Reviews
Funny movie I loved it
I laughed so hard throughout this movie. It is a great comedy and Mathew Lillard is still as funny as ever. It was awesome seeing all the cameos like Tom Arnold. If you are up for a good laugh with raunchy humor and a great cast you must buy this movie!
This movie made me laugh more than any movie in a while. Since I watched it I have had a huge craving for Olive Garden! haha. Matthew Lillard and Brett Davern are a great comedic team and the gorgeous women definitely don't hurt. Love the appearance of the older timer Tom Arnold too!

I met a lot of wonderful people during those thirteen months. My family grew so much during that time. I love that I have so many friends all over the world and especially in South America. We would show up to a city, maybe stay for a few weeks, and when we left felt like we were leaving people we knew for our entire life. I love how Jesus provides us with family wherever we go. One of those people is Moises, who I met in Manaus.
Juliana and I will be heading to Manaus, Brazil in a month. Finally!! After three years, I am returning. We will be staying on Moises base, Missao Povos Ribeirinhos, in Manaus, for at least three months, ministering and listening to what Pappa has for us.
( Moises in the red shirt)
I really love the journey with Him. His timing is always perfect. I love how He connects things when you are obedient to His leadings.
(So cute having the same shirt)

|Reviews for Caught in the Act
| Jenchen.H chapter 19 . 8/5
These oneshots are fantastic!
I like it that you keep characters like Maria, Yashiro, and Ruriko in your stories. Their lines and actions often make me think, "Lol, that's him/her alright."
Your stories are fun to read, so I hope you'll come back sometime and write more of them (Am I too greedy? :P)
I look forward to you return~
| Ellaina Fiore chapter 6 . 5/9
This is such a wonderful AU one-shot! The idea is so sweet and the interactions are lovely. I like Ren and Kyoko starting out with a gradual friendship without the initial animosity. Loved how you kept Yashiro's and Lory's meddling. Especially loved the line, "My company president is ridiculous and wealthy-," it really feels like it describes Lory.
| skyeza chapter 3 . 1/31
Chapters 1 & 3 are awesome, wish you'd write a full story on both off them... hint hint ;)
| mutemuia chapter 19 . 9/16/2014
Well, all of them are awesome, but especially chapter 6 'Fragments', it's very touching, and full of hope for heartbroken people (literally :-D).
And so do I, I'm going to read 'Tokyo Crazy Paradise'. Thanks.
| The Dragon Guardian of the Sea chapter 19 . 8/29/2014
Oh some if these are amazing! Okay, they're all amazing but some of them I wish there were more to them. Like turned into full fleshed out stories.
I do hope you came back to these one day and continue on. I had to grab my manga volumes to look at the pictures with each story.
P.S. I love the Tokyo Crazy Paradise one. I wish they would release it in the United States.

Nick Robinson issued the warning after the tranquility of his rural cottage by the sea, bought four years ago for his family to escape from their busy lives in north London, was shattered by a cockerel crowing at dawn.
He took to Twitter to say: "Awoke contemplating murder - the Suffolk countryside isn't big enough for me and the ------- cockerel who sat outside my window at 5am."
It has led to claims that Mr Robinson doesn't understand life in the country as cockerels have been part of the village for decades.
But he has now insisted his words were those of a "grumpy middle aged man" and said he loves life away from a big city.
He told The Telegraph: "I have never and would never dream of complaining about what makes the countryside such an escape - the sights and sounds are natural and not man made.
"News, like life here, is obviously gloriously slow."
He confessed he had been woken by the cockerels just twice in four years.
Mr Robinson added: "My tweet was a one-off cry of frustration - a sort of anti cockerel troll if you like - from a grumpy middle aged man who had not had enough sleep. I would no more want to have the cock a doodle doos silenced than to pave over the fields or fill in the estuary.
"The offending fowl has crowed several doors away since his photo appeared in the local paper which means that I will not have to take up the very many kind offers of recipes for dining on the source of my nocturnal problem."
Since the post appeared on his Twitter feed Mr Robinson received several suggestions about what to do with the cockerel.
But his anger seemed to have cooled after he announced on Twitter that he would be taking a few days off after presenting Any Questions on BBC Radio 4. He posted: "Let's hope the cockerel is planning a lie in."
The cockerels are owned by Nick Egerton, who has kept chickens and cockerels in the village for more than 30 years since moving to Suffolk from Blackheath in London.
He said he had some sympathy for Mr Robinson's early morning wake up call, but said hens and chickens in the area had long been part of the scenery.
"That's all part of country life," Mr Egerton said.
"We first had them when we lived at Blackheath in London and brought them with us when we moved here years ago.
"They live in and around the trees. We feed them, but they get on with their own lives - they're just part of the scenery."
Mr Egerton, 68, admitted his four cockerels are loud but said people who lived in the country got used to them and were able to tune out – describing people waking up at the noise of them crowing as a "townie phenomenon."
"There are a couple of dozen birds and four cockerels," added the grandfather of two.
"They live semi wild in the hedges at the bottom of the garden.They can call at any time of the day, but often it is at dawn. They are quite loud.
"Some people wake up with the noise they make - they tune in to the cockerel.
"But you can easily tune out too.
"It is a townie phenomenon. People who live in the country are used to country sounds."
Mr Egerton said he had hadn't had any complaints about the birds and said Mr Robinson was 'alright with them really.'

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on February 16, 2014.
This cd contains music by Georgia artists, songwriters and bands to promote Georgia music throughout the state and across the nation.
Stephen Rickard
Project by
Stephen Rickard
First created | 0 backed
About this project
This is a compilaton cd of unknown Georgia songwriters, artists and bands. The cd will be used to promote their music throughout the state and we are planning on setting up some concerts to help them introduce their music to a new audience that has never heard them before. We will set up a web site to sell the compilation cd and also have links to the artists own web site so that they can sell their own cds as well.
Since announcing this project we have had over 100 songs submitted for consideration. The only criteria involved was that it be genre-specific (country) and Georgia based. We are in the process now of selecting which 15 or 16 songs will be put on the cd. The people making these selections are long time Georgia music people and that has become the hardest part of this entire project, narrowing down the songs to what we consider the best.
The money donated will go toward mixing and mastering of the songs selected, design of the cover art for the cd and the packaging, the manufacture of the cds themselves, building and maintaining the web site promoting the compilation cd and also the cds of the artists themselves, storage and shipping fees, promotional items-posters, t-shirts, concert venues, legal fees and any other fees that usually crop up at the last minute.
We have talked to a lot of people throughout the state about this project and have gotten a lot of good ideas on how to promote it, venues for possible concerts, radio, tv, etc. There is a lot of excitement not only among the artists here but also from people interested in helping promote independent music.
Risks and challenges
The only real challenge will be to find ways to promote the cd and the individual artists, songwriters and bands. We have been talking to several local music people about promoting it and having some newspaper articles and setting up a kickoff concert.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Staff gets 5 stars. They were friendly and excellent in every respect.
Location gets 5 stars, but follow the online directions for snow travel to the T and bring chains.
Rooms get 4 stars. Rooms were nicely furnished, beds comfy with snug woolen blankets and quilts, bathroom was updated, modest but clean. A few minor things were a bit worn, and the doors stuck sometimes, but it wasn't shabby or outdated. It is a family place, so expect lots of running around and the walls are not soundproof. However, everyone is really good about keeping the quiet time rules. Sleeping was not a problem.
Food was 4 stars given the remote location. There was an excellent variety at every meal. Yogurt and cottage cheese bar at breakfast in addition to pancakes, waffles or French toast, sausage or bacon, and eggs. Salad bars at lunch and dinner had a nice mix of options. There were always veggies, vegetarian options, and kid friendly foods available. At lunch you could make a sandwich or have a hot lunch. Soup was available all afternoon, and cereal, toast,oatmeal, coffee, tea, milk available all day. Fresh fruit was also available at every meal, and usually a basket of apples oranges and bananas in the afternoon. To my delight, there were no sodas in the drink dispensary, but flavored vitamin water, juice and ice tea. Soda was only available in a vending machine. Nobody in my family went hungry! Given the other reviews on food I was worried, but I really felt there was something for everyone, and they even let me keep a lunch plate in the fridge for when my youngest was napping through lunch service.
Recreation gets a 5 stars. The cross country ski trails ar gorgeous, the rental very reasonable, and the staff super friendly. The kids could go snow tubing, sledding, make snow forts, or do arts and crafts indoors with a counselor, no extra charge. They provide snow tubes and have some sleds, but Bring your own sled if you have it. They had a small slope for snowboarding which we didn't use, but looked nicely maintained. Indoors they had tons of games to check out, in addition to ping pong, air hockey, and two cozy fireplaces to hang out by. In the evening there was usually singing and marshmallow roasting inside. Don't expect much in the way of Internet service, it's only available in the main lodge and is pretty slow when everyone is using it. I didn't mind, as that was not the purpose of our trip, but i saw a few disgruntled teens.... Plus side is they found themselves doing other activities.
Overall, a lot of your experience depends on what you want. If you have a family, like meeting other families, love the casual atmosphere of having lots of kids running around having a great time, then this is the place for you. Not everyone supervises their children well, but nobody seems to mind if your kids aren't at their best either. If you are a couple or a group of adults only, you might find mealtimes and evenings a bit chaotic, but the rest of the time the lodge is a nice place to relax.

Initial Tennessee Promise Numbers Point To Success, But Real Metrics Come Later By Emily Siner • Oct 6, 2015 TN Photo Services The state is now reporting how many students are taking advantage of Tennessee Promise, its free community college program: 15,830. That comes out to about a quarter of all high school seniors who were eligible to apply for the program last fall. It's a number the state is certainly proud of, says Tennessee Promise executive director Mike Krause, but that number doesn't say much yet about the success of the program. "Our measure of success is not just based on how many enroll," he says. "A really key part is going to be how many complete [college], how many do we retain."

But on a Monday afternoon in August, there's an energy that might be felt more often at an intimate Nashville club. Two dozen people, mostly women, are sitting on those creaky chairs in a circle. Some hold guitars. About half are veterans, and they're waiting to debut their very personal songs about a shared experience: sexual assault.

Tip: This town is located on the North Shore of Kauai and once had the largest guava plantation in Hawaii.
Whale Watching on Kauai
Somewhere out there, thousands of 40-ton humpback whales are making their way to Kauai. Early arrivals are usually spotted in September and October. By Christmas, they're a lot more visible.
Remember that whale sighting takes patience and despite the enormity of their 42- to 45-foot bodies and 15-foot pectoral fins, the ocean provides a pretty good cover. But these super-sized marine mammals can't hide for long because, to survive, they have to breathe. And when a whale breathes, it can't help but blow its cover.
Kauai tour boats and rafting companies make it their business to know where to spot whales. At the peak of the season, sightings are usually guaranteed.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry's full-court press to revive the Middle East peace process appeared to be floundering on Tuesday with the cancellation of a meeting between the secretary and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who applied to join 15 international agencies in a move strenuously opposed by the U.S. and Israel.
Mr. Kerry, who was in Brussels to attend a NATO meeting on Tuesday, told reporters his earlier plan to return to the Middle East on Wednesday was now uncertain.
"I'm not sure I'm going," Mr. Kerry said, amid little sign that either Israeli or Palestinian leaders were prepared for painful concessions to reach a deal.
SEE ALSO: U.S. mulls trading Pollard to get Israeli peace pact back on track: report
U.S. officials, meanwhile, remained mum in the face of multiple reports that the Obama administration is considering injecting new momentum into the peace process by offering to release Jonathan Pollard, a former U.S. intelligence analyst who was convicted in 1987 of spying for Israel. Top Israeli officials have long lobbied for the release of Pollard, now serving a life sentence in a North Carolina prison.
White House and State Department spokesmen said President Obama had not made a decision on whether to release Pollard. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf refused to say whether the president was even entertaining such a proposition.
But in a thinly veiled suggestion that Pollard's release may be on the table, Mr. Kerry said no agreement had been reached with respect to any prisoner, but that there are "a lot of different possibilities in play."
Mr. Kerry, whom Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon in January accused of showing a "messianic obsession" toward Middle East peace, said it was "completely premature to draw any final judgment" on the process.
"This is a moment to be really clear-eyed and sober about this process," he said, adding, "It is difficult, it is emotional, it requires huge decisions, some of them with great political difficulty, all of which need to come together simultaneously."
"It is moments like this when we all need to remember exactly what brought us to this effort in the first place, what the goal is and where everybody wants to end up," Mr. Kerry said.
Mr. Kerry was expected to meet Mr. Abbas in Ramallah to work out a deal to extend peace negotiations — set to end on April 29 — into 2015.
It was unclear whether Mr. Kerry or Mr. Abbas first decided to call off their meeting.
In a surprising move, Mr. Abbas on Tuesday resumed a bid for further Palestinian recognition by the United Nations, despite promising in late July that he would suspend those efforts for nine months.
Israel had promised to release Palestinian prisoners in four groups, but balked at releasing the fourth group and a March 29 deadline passed with the men still in Israeli custody.
Signing papers to join 15 international agencies, Mr. Abbas said Palestinians had never given up their right to seek membership in U.N. institutions. The Palestinians won "non-member observer state" status in the U.N. in 2012. The list of agencies does not include the International Criminal Court or the International Court of Justice, where Palestinians want to file cases against Israelis for what they consider to be war crimes.
"We don't want to clash with the U.S. administration, but we are left with no choice," Mr. Abbas said, according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The eyeliner has a smooth, creamy texture that slides on easily and quickly sets to a slightly tacky finish. The tackiness doesn't get in the way of this product's ability to wear without smearing or fading, although the "micronized clay" from the Amazon River is mainly hype. Clay won't have an effect on how well eyeliner lasts, although it can help absorb excess oil.
Among the shades, stick with Black, Brown, and Bronze for classic eye designs. The blue and green shades are more trend-driven and do little to shape or shade the eye, but depending on the look you're after (and your profession) you may find them appealing.
Note: tarte's Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner formerly came with a brush, but we've since been informed by a reader that this is no longer the case. We confirmed this to be true, and that the eyeliner brush is sold separately for $15. This is still a well-rated liner and one we recommend—but it was a true beauty steal with the brush included. (We hope you took advantage of that deal while it was offered!)
Tarte Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: Excellent foundations; great cheek stain and powder blushes; superior pressed powder and eyelining pencils; good mascaras; unique, innovative, beautiful packaging; complete ingredient lists on the company's Web site.
Weaknesses: Can be pricey.
Tarte Cosmetics CEO and founder Maureen Kelly started Tarte in 1999, out of a desire to create a cosmetics line that "would prove that glamour can be good for you." This comes in the form of products that highlight naturally-derived ingredients in their marketing campaigns, and occasionally taking swipes at the concept of synthetics in makeup.
This is ironic, as Tarte uses more than a few beneficial synthetically derived ingredients in their formulas—silicones, synthetic fragrances, preservatives and on and on. However, we'll forgive them that as what's ultimately important is whether their products meet your needs, and to that we can say the brand excels in many areas at what they do.
However, a few products are a bit on the pricey side and there are a few iffy shades and textures to consider among their foundations—noted in their respective reviews. A few caveats aside, most of Tarte's foundations, blush options, eye pencils and an ever-expanding range of innovative products demonstrate that color is what they do best.

I was just about to purchase based on the review, and wanted to make others aware that the eyeliner brush is now sold separately.
Thanks for the heads up! We've updated the review also :)
It worked fine the first couple of times but then turned hard despite always tightening the jar shut so needless to say it was hard to get enough on the brush to work with. To the trash it went. The brush that comes with it is of good quality though.
The first time I put on the liner it worked very well. After that, the texture was most definitely not creamy. It was difficult to get enough on the brush, and very difficult to get a pigmented thin line. I was tightening the jar; I even sat on it to warm it up, and it still remained clay like. Not for me.
I don't think this liner is overpriced as it comes with a full size, dual ended brush. To buy a brush of similar quality at sephora would likely cost at least $20. Other similarly priced brands sell gel liners for $16 -$20 so if you think about it you're getting a professional quality brush for under $10.

This is a great recipe! I have made it many times. I substitute buttermilk for the cream, which I prefer. This time I didn't have lemons so I used lime zest and a little extra sugar in the dough. I sprinkle demerara sugar on top before baking. I also make them small and simply drop them onto the cookie sheet instead of rolling and cutting. The key to tenderness is not overmixing. I often take half of the dough and freeze it. That way we can have fresh baked scones more often than I feel like making the dough!flag if inappropriate
These are wonderful read all the reviews and only used 1 stick of butter and the zest of a whole lemon as suggested. At 16 minutes they weren't completely baked so I baked them for another 5 minutes and they were perfect. Had one right away with Trader Joes lemon curd and a cup of tea - Heaven!!flag if inappropriate
I've made these many, many times now. One thing I do differently is that I add a ginger glaze as well, for a final umph. I grate lots of fresh ginger and squeeze all the juices from the pulp into a powdered sugar glaze (powdered sugar, add milk slowly until you hit a good glaze consistency). If I'm going for lots of extra kick, I'll chop up the pulp as finely as possible and throw some of that into the glaze as well. The scones are great by themselves, but even better with the added ginger glaze!flag if inappropriate
disregard the precious comment please after rereading it I found it and low and behold it is exactly what is did. Up to early this, morning !flag if inappropriate
one might want to reread the instructions, and then make the correction re the ginger¿ you have it being chopped and measured, but the inexperienced baker might not know what to do with it¿...flag if inappropriate
Amazing! Oy, this is a good reason to have butter in your freezer at all times. (not a euphemism.) Toot a bit of time, but was really great. I made a lot more than 8 scones though...definitely not complaining.flag if inappropriate
Love this recipe and make them all the time! My family, friends and neighbors love them also!flag if inappropriate
I used tangerine zest instead of lemon, and added diced figs and some cinnamon and they turned out delicious!!! Even my husband who does not care for scones or candied ginger loved them. I had some homemade mango preserves that I put on top, YUM!flag if inappropriate
Simple, easy to make quickly. Always a hit at my house for all ages at all times of day.flag if inappropriate
I followed the recipe pretty closely as this was the first time I had made these. I was trying to replicate the delicious lemon ginger scones from Ula Cafe in Jamaica Plain. These came pretty close, but I would put even more than the 2 tsp I used of lemon zest in next time (rather than the one called for)and maybe a little lemon juice. I used all cake (pastry) flour and I made a thin glaze from lemon zest, juice and a little powdered sugar to spoon over them when they were done and it really added an extra zing! I would try the suggestions of using less butter and substituting half and half or milk to get the calories down another time, just to see how they come out, but the original is so yummy and tender, I think I might be disappointed!flag if inappropriate

2009 – an annus mirabilis?
There is already hard data out from HFR showing hedge funds received net inflows of $1.1 bln in Q3 (small, but nevertheless a relief after $330 bln of net outflows in the year to June).
However, anecdotal evidence suggest it has picked up much more strongly in Q4, helped, no doubt, by gains of 17.53 pct so far this year, according to Credit Suisse/Tremont.
An interview with GlobeOp CEO Hans Hufschmid (incidentally a former LTCM partner) yesterday revealed gross and net inflows and outflows had all returned to pre-crisis average levels. (GlobeOp should know — it has $106 bln of client assets, mostly hedge funds, under administration).
If 2008 was hedge funds' annus horribilis (when their obituary was prematurely written), will 2009 be known as its annus mirabilis?

NEW YORK (AP) - Details and reaction on the winners of the 2011 Pulitzer Prizes:
PUBLIC SERVICE: The Los Angeles Times.
The newspaper was honored for its stories exposing the lavish salaries and benefits being paid to officials in Bell, a small working-class city that is among the poorest in Los Angeles County.
The series, written by Jeff Gottlieb, Ruben Vives and other Times reporters, led to criminal charges against the city administrator, Robert Rizzo, and seven other current and former officials.
The series began after Gottlieb and Vives, while reporting a story in a neighboring community, learned that Bell's part-time city council members were being paid about $100,000 a year.
Through further reporting and examination of public records, the paper disclosed the hefty salaries and benefits being paid to several officials including Rizzo, whose annual compensation totaled $1.5 million.
The series prompted legislative action in California and calls for greater transparency in the salaries and benefits being paid to public workers.
"The real victors in this are the people of Bell, who were able to get rid of, there's no other way to say it, an oppressive regime," Gottlieb said.
BREAKING NEWS REPORTING: No award.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING: Paige St. John of the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune.
St. John was honored for her yearlong examination of Florida's property insurance system in the hurricane-prone state.
"St. John did something no one had done before _ followed the Florida insurance dollar, as it was paid out by consumers, shipped offshore to reinsurers, or turned into secret profits with accounting risks," Herald-Tribune Executive Editor Mike Connelly said in his nominating letter.
St. John helped design Web and mobile applications that readers could use to analyze insurers and calculate the hurricane threat to their own homes.
