Arizona Coyotes
The Pulse: Coyotes to make a playoff push
Every day, we at ArizonaSports.com ask our readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
This time, we asked if the Phoenix Coyotes are going to surge post-Olympic break and make the playoffs.
You think they are.
A total of 412 votes were submitted, with "yes" earning 235 — or 57 percent.
At the break, the Coyotes have a 27-21-10 record with 64 points. They have the same record as the eighth-place Dallas Stars, though the Stars own the tiebreaker and would be in the postseason if it started today.
But with 24 games left, the Coyotes have a chance to make good on the fans' faith.

CO2 and electricity prices would rise. GDP would shrink, say authors from university's Sloan School of Management and its Energy Initiative, the group headed by Obama's nominee for Energy Secy.
Kettler, which manages 20,000 apartments from New York to the Carolinas, sees electric vehicle charging services as an amenity for residents -- as well as a potential income source.
Deal between Car Charging Group and Ace Parking Management marks the second such arrangement in as many months with a private garage management company.
Two of the biggest forces in technology are leveraging their market positions to target what has become one of the sexiest distractions for leading high-tech players: building energy management. The reason this area has so much attention is that some figures imply that buildings could suck up as much as 42 percent of energy usage worldwide.
I have had many a conversation with managers at small-ish (or REALLY small) companies, who insist that they can't address some of the energy efficiency practices that I write about because they are leasing real estate and don't control overall management of their electricity consumption. I think that excuse is becoming thinner with each passing day.

What if you could pay the amount that you're willing to set aside for your electricity upfront every month, and then use smart metering applications and other home energy management technologies to manage household consumption against that amount?This concept of "prepaid" utility services was recently examined in a consumer survey marketing firm EcoAlign, and the top-level results probably won't surprise you that much.
Chalk one up for the Cisco home energy management solution: the high-tech giant's new relationship with ECOtality will let people manage the way they use electricity for both their home and for their electric vehicles from a single place.Specifically, a technology agreement between the two companies will tie together the Blink Network charger interface with the Cisco Home Energy Controller.
The City of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, has saved roughly 1.46 million kilowatt hours of electricity in the first year of project to deploy the 1E power management software across 1,000 of the city's personal computers.
Chances are you are way sick of me writing about tools that help you measure the various energy metrics of your data center, because you probably have way too many separate management tools to deal with already.But you MAY be interested in a company, Modius, that apparently has created an ecosystem of monitoring and measurement tools that helps you balance the most important metric of your data center -- uptime -- with the way that it consumes electricity.
Power management software developer Verdiem says its Surveyor software is now being used to control electricity consumption on more than 70,000 PCs within California state agencies. The state is operating under a mandate to cut power usage associated with IT operations by up to 30 percent before 2012.
The new release of the KACE K1000 Management Appliance, now officially a Dell-branded product, offers features that lets businesses configure and enforce the power management settings on both Window and Macintosh OSX hardware.Chip Lawson, Dell KACE senior product manager, says that companies can realize significant savings in their electricity bills by paying more attention to their desktops.
Consumers are wary of utilities efforts to remotely limit use of appliances as part of electricity management plans---unless there's a steep discount, according to a survey by Accenture.
Ford and Microsoft announced on Wednesday that they are partnering on a web application, Hohm, that will help drivers monitor and manage recharging for their electric vehicles.
Chances are, you're more likely to think about your energy use when you're staying in dismay at your electricity bill. That's probably one of the motivators for the deal that energy management software and demand response company EnerNOC has just signed with California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).
Very little energy capacity analysis and planning is being done on data centers that are five years old or older. It's now time for IT leaders to gain control over energy use -- and misuse -- in these enterprise data centers.
Symantec's new storage management software can save close to $55,000 in electricity costs for every 200-terabyte enterprise storage deployment it diverts.
Fujitsu today announced an 18-month deal with WA's largest electricity provider Verve energy to design and implement an energy trading management system.
My husband and I still have an extremely antiquated utility meter at our home, which is hidden inside one of our basement closets. As a result, if we're not home, our monthly bill is a matter of guesswork on the part of Public Service Enterprise Group (did you know that's what PSEG stands for!
Those bloody good fellows at 1E, which sells a power management utility for Windows called NightWatchman, revealed some data this week that suggests a troubling number of IT managers in its native country aren't yet tuned into the virtues of curtailing the electricity usage of the computer fleets under their watchAccording to the mini-survey, one-third of respondents feel "zero pressure" to reduce power consumption.
Last week, I promised to file a bunch of entries about players in the demand response and energy management business. Here's the second set of notes, about a company called ConsumerPowerline.

Amazing location, fantastic loads. And very helpful staff.
Fantastic week in the lodge ( Lodge 4). Friendly staff who saw to all our needs. Gorgeous Clean modern lodge in beautiful and quiet surroundings lovely for a peaceful break. We travelled with two dogs who both were made to feel very welcome. Hot tub was lovely after ĺong walks most days. Lovely touch Wine and Chocolates on arrival and Molton Brown goodies. Will definatly be reccomending.
For a 'high end' mini break the cleanliness was far from what you would expect. Otherwise we had a great time.
We had an amazing time and wished we could have stayed longer.
Had a lovely relaxing weekend
What a wonderful holiday. ..Again! Our second year running. Loads to do, out and about-safe and homely for children too. We love it here.
Had a lovely stay here.
In a good location for things to do, nothing too far away. We did Robin Hood festival, Thoresby hall, go ape, steam train ride great for kids. Ate out and had takeaways delivered to park, sat in hot tub and relaxed in sun. Lodges were clean and even left us a bottle of wine and handmade chocolates! Nice touch. Lots of Molton brown products and even a nail file, although mine was empty! Very small thing i didnt like was the clear glass in bathrooms! And the small double bed. Does anyone still have a double bed these days, and there was room to fit a king in as there was plenty of room between cabinets and bed.
A beautiful small development. Very private, quiet and peaceful.
A couple of nice bike riding routes, suitable for children as pretty flat.
The reason for the lower score on facilities is purely because there aren't really any facilities onsite, however there is an Asda and Tesco a short drive away.
Nicely furnished lodges with all mid cons to make it home from home. Quiet site. Hot tubs clean and great end to a day
we needed a break but still needed to get home Sherwood hideaway was perfect.only down side was my 13year old daughter could not get a phone signal ha ha as i said it was perfect we had quality family time and long chats. great for walking, dogs, it is truly serine.
We did not realise how remote the location was and nothing was in short walking distance you had to walk for miles and miles.
Trying to get a taxi was a nightmare as none of them would pick us up so we had to drive everywhere.
They charge you £5 for internet connection which does NOT work at all....
When I was leaving they didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay they just said leave the keys on the desk which I thought was rude.
There are absolutely no facilities here or any nearby you need to drive, so if you want to get away from it all in the middle of the woods alone then this is the place for you but sadly I wont be going back I like to have access to more facilities on site or at least in the vicinity.
Wonderful, would highly recommend.
A very quiet peaceful break is just what we needed and what we got. Lodge was lovely, clean and had all we needed. Hot tub was a great hit and we totally relaxed. It was raining lots but it did not spoil our break.
Great place. Lovely lodges with nice touches inside. Area is a hideaway so nothing on the site, but lots to do locally! Riding is great. Spa is great. Wifi terrible! Overall lovely place to get away.
Excellent long weekend break. Lodges are stunning and the staff go that extra mile to ensure that your stay is as good as you want it to be.

On the night before his death, Jesus made a prophecy to his disciples in the upper room: "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father" (John 16:16).
This prediction caused consternation among some of his disciples, and they said among themselves, "we cannot tell what he saith."
Jesus then explained his words by saying that "ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."

1D - Dirty Imagines (Louis Tomlinson)
A/N Okay, this one is my favorite. I really feel good about this one. x
You're at a club, alone because your best friend apparently found a guy and took him home, leaving you to deal with all the annoying, horny guys. You were wearing a black, skin tight dress with red heels, and that was the only reason guys kept coming over every chance they could get. You ignore all of their pathetic attempts at trying to buy you a drink or to take you home with them. You've had your eyes on one guy, and one guy only. There was a brown headed boy with gorgeous blue eyes sitting in a booth a couple rows away from you. He was sitting with four of his other and equally attractive friends. You chose him because he was the only one that gave you a second look, actually make that three looks. He finally gets the guts to walk over and say hi while his friends whistle and yell things like, 'get some Tommo'.
"Hi, my name's Louis, Louis Tomlinson," he says and winks at you. You smile back at him and say, "I'm (Y/N)."
"You know, you're really beautiful. I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place later. Make that thirty minutes, sound good?" he says and you nod. He writes his address down on a piece of paper and hands it to you. Before he leaves to go with his friends, he takes your hand and gives it a sweet, lingering kiss. "You won't regret it babe."
Before leaving, you dress in a white, button down shirt with a push-up bra and a cute skirt. You have something fun in mind for tonight. You drive over to his house with ease. You didn't drink much while you were out clubbing so you weren't drunk. You maybe had a beer or two and that was it. You finally arrive at a huge, beautiful, mansion like house. You ring the doorbell and Louis answers, looking at you up and down.
"You made it!" he says smiling. He takes your hand and leads you upstairs to his room where you shut the door and push him with one finger over to his bed. You make him lie down and kiss all over his neck and lips.
"Okay, here are the rules. Rule number one, don't touch yourself. Rule number two, don't touch me. Rule number three, obey the rules unless I say not to. Break any of the rules and you'll be punished, got that?" you say and he gulps, forcing a nervous nod which you find as a turn on. You begin to strip him down until he's completely nude. You begin to slowly unbutton your shirt, making him squirm uneasily. You finish unbuttoning and slide it off of your shoulders. You see his d*ck beginning to get hard and you grin evilly. You slide off your skirt, along with your bra and underwear.
"God, you're f*cking perfect," he says and begins to reach for his d*ck to pump himself but you slap his hand away.
"Uh-oh, you broke rule number one. You'll be punished for that," you say and he frowns. You get down on your knees and kiss along his long shaft, making him moan. You teasingly lick the tip without taking the entire length in. His hands move to grab your head but he stops himself.
"Good boy," you say as if you're praising a dog. He sighs and closes his eyes as you continue slowly swirl your tongue around the tip. Finally you begin to take the entire length in your mouth with total skill. His eyes snap open and he moans with pleasure as you bob your head up and down, deep-throating it. You suck hard and fast and rub his balls lightly with your hand. You feel his d*ck twitch once and release his cum in your mouth and you swallow. He grabs you by the shoulders and pushes you on the bed, making you gasp.
"F*ck the rules, I want to taste every bit of you (Y/N)," he says. He kisses the inside of your thighs, making you arch your back.
"Please, Louis, just eat me already," you beg and he shakes his head, still kissing everything but your p*ssy.

More than 100 endangered mountain yellow-legged frogs have died in a captive breeding program in Fresno, California, the Los Angeles Times reports. The 104 frogs died over the past month after recently metamorphosing from the tadpole stage. Experts are still struggling to figure out what went wrong.
"We have two frogs left," Scott Barton, director of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, told The Times. "We're trying to determine exactly what happened."
It is estimated that fewer than 200 mountain yellow-legged frogs exist in the wild. Native to California's San Bernardino, San Gabriel and San Jacinto mountains, the species' population has been dramatically affected by loss of habitat and the introduction of nonnative species such as trout, crayfish and bullfrogs. The frogs are also vulnerable to pesticides and fungal infections.
The frogs at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo were rescued from the San Gabriel Mountains after a devastating fire in 2009. Renowned for its amphibian husbandry, Chaffee Zoo is one of three facilities currently breeding the mountain yellow-legged frog for reintroduction.
In San Diego, experts have encountered similar barriers. Seven adult frogs died at the San Diego Zoo's Institute for Conservation Research in 2006. Last year, the Institute released 36 tadpoles; researchers have been unable to find evidence of their survival.
"These frogs are very specific in their requirements. What works for one group may not work for another," said U.S. Geological Survey ecologist Adam Backlin. "The problem is that zoos do not have the space, staff or the funds … [the frogs need] almost constant attention."
"We were thrown a curve ball with a species that was new to us," said Barton.
Barton added that the Chaffee Zoo may send its remaining pair of frogs to another facility, "to see if someone else will have better luck."

Chytrid strikes again???
Terribly sad! People try to correct the mistakes of others only to have this happen. I hope they try again.
Thanks for the article.
While studying Biology in college, an astute professor said, frogs are like the Canary birds in the underground mines. If they suffer in that environment, we, as humans, will also soon suffer. What ill effects the frogs are under must be understood, for it will soon affect us. Anyone there also attuned? Do not let your voice be silent. Frogs, honey bees, birds, butterflys, aquatic life and others are telling us humans something. Please in some way get involved. I find that the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) an easy first step in having a voice on how others, including the government, makes decisions toward the impact of our small earth. Please, do and/or say SOMETHING.
Fingers crossed!
Poor little guys, I hope they make a comeback! Please save them!
thanks for sharing.
How sad for these lovely frogs.
Oh how tragic! Thank you for keeping us informed!
sad news! but thanks for sharing :)

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 15, 2013
Dr. S. Mark McKenna, MD ~ CEO and Founder of Shape Medical Center - http://www.shapemed.com - (Atlanta, GA) ~ has developed an innovative new weight loss app that was released nationwide in the apple iTunes store on January 3rd, 2013. WeightLossApp.com completed an enormously successful beta launch with over 2K downloads in its first full day in the app store. "We were humbled and surprised to say the least", says Dr. Mark McKenna. "We were expecting a tepid response as the January release was only supposed to be a test or beta launch. Our marketing and awareness efforts have not even begun. With that being said we are happy. The launch and subsequent user excitement has been extremely fun".
The Skinny, at http://www.weightlossapp.com, is a highly stylized mobile app that has a simple yet effective user interface. But make no mistake there is a lot of substance and hardcore weight loss and fitness information to go along with the style. Users can expect a 90-day email series that gives more than a cursory review of best eating practices. Additionally "Skinny" members will have access to recipes, playlists, cooking videos, workout videos, calorie counters, and exercise monitors all through the convenience of their phones. WeightLossApp.com also provides its users with an innovative a photo and information sharing platform that allows users to build a support network through Facebook and twitter.
The Skinny app developers are already hard at work on version 2.0 that will be launched around March 2013. The 2.0 version, according to Dr. McKenna, will be full of 'top secret' features that will place a premium on user experience and results. "Our goal is to use technology to help combat obesity which is the number one

Dedication to research and excellence has been the Bose approach to better sound since Dr. Amar G. Bose founded the company in 1964. Ever since then, Bose engineers have focused on creating better technology. You'll find that focus exemplified in the Bose sport headphones
What's the point of having music on your phone if you can't play it where you want, when you want? Get ready to play your music with richer, more intense sound than you'd expect from such a small speaker. The SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile speaker II wirelessly connects with your tablet, laptop, iPhone, Android or BlackBerry so you'll always have your music at hand.
Lightweight and small enough to carry in your hand or fit in a travel bag or backpack, the speaker weighs less than 1.4 kg and measures approximately 13 cm x 24 cm x 4.5 cm. The buttons on top of the speaker lets you handle the volume and power, and your Bluetooth device controls everything else— streaming music stations, playlists, etc. No remote control required.
With its 10m wireless range, you can keep your tablet, phone or other Bluetooth device with you while placing the SoundLink Mobile speaker II wherever you desire. An integrated bi-fold cover flips open to become a convenient stand, so you can play your music everywhere.
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps the music going strong for up to eight hours, even while emailing, texting, or surfing the internet. To give you a clear indication of battery life, the enhanced status light switches from yellow to red. If there's an outlet nearby, simply use the included power adapter—it'll charge the battery while you listen. An empty battery usually takes about two to three hours to charge. There's also an optional car charger so you can charge the speaker en route.
Enjoy ease of control. Your Bluetooth device controls your playlists, streaming music stations, etc, while you can adjust the power and volume via the controls on top. You won't require a remote control. Protect your speaker during travel with the integrated bi-fold cover, which unfolds into a stand for instant playing anywhere. Match the speaker to your style with additional covers. Available separately in tan or burgundy leather or purple or red nylon. Play other audio sources, such as an MP3 or portable DVD/CD player, using the auxiliary input. Software updates via the USB port ensure on-going Bluetooth device compatibility.

RenderPal V2 2.5 Now Available!
Press Release from Shoran Software
The fifth point release of RenderPal V2, the professional Render Farm Manager for Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Nuke, After Effects, Softimage/XSI and many more renderers and compositing applications, has been released!
RenderPal V2 2.5 now offers a new license management system: For every renderer and its versions, you can now specify how many licenses are available and which pools and clients own a license.
In this new version, it is no longer only possible to create individual user accounts, but to also create entire user groups. Every account can now belong to such a group, making creating and managing accounts faster and easier.
In order to get information about the various objects in RenderPal V2, you had to directly query its database in previous versions. With this new point release, the console remote controller can be used to query data from the server, including net jobs and their chunks, pools and clients. We have also created a small Python library to wrap the console remote controller, called PyQuery.
There are also several improvements for net jobs, like net job tags (which can be used for quick filtering) and net job coloring, as well as the ability to execute post-net job events either on success or on failure.
This is by far not everything this new point release brings. For full details, trial downloads and information about RenderPal V2, visit our website at: http://www.renderpal.com

CBC News: Alberta lobbies for Keystone XL in New York Times ad
Influential newspaper ran editorial last week urging Obama to reject pipeline
-The Canadian Press
March 17, 2013- The Alberta government, continuing to press its case for the Keystone XL pipeline, took out an ad in Sunday's New York Times newspaper, tying the controversial project to core American values and to U.S. pride in its military.
The half-page ad is headlined "Keystone XL: The Choice of Reason."
It acknowledges the validity of environmental concerns, but stresses the $7-billion pipeline is about much more than that.
"America's desire to effectively balance strong environmental policy, clean technology development, energy security and plentiful job opportunities for the middle class and returning war veterans mirrors that of the people of Alberta," reads the $30,000 ad.
"This is why choosing to approve Keystone XL and oil from a neighbour, ally, friend, and responsible energy developer is the choice of reason."
Stefan Baranski, a spokesman for Alberta Premier Alison Redford, said the ad was taken out to counter a New York Times editorial that ran a week ago urging U.S. President Barack Obama to reject the 1,800-kilometre TransCanada line.
National Guest Worker Alliance: Work Stoppage Exposes McDonald's Labor Abuse
Student guestworkers faced wage theft, 25-hour shifts, substandard housing
March 6, 2013- student guestworkers from around the world will hold a work stoppage to expose severe exploitation at McDonald's restaurants in Harrisburg, Lemoyne, and Camp Hill, PA.
They will join U.S. workers and labor leaders in demanding that the fast food giant take responsibility for labor abuse at its restaurants.
The student guestworkers, from Argentina, Peru, Chile, Malaysia, and other countries, paid $3,000 apiece to participate in the U.S. State Department's J-1 student guestworker program, expecting decent work and a cultural exchange. Instead, McDonald's used them as a sub-minimum wage exploitable workforce. Students faced:
MSN: 'By the grace of God': How workers survive on $7.25 per hour
-By Allison Linn, Staff Writer, NBC News
March 6, 2013- Crystal Dupont knows what it's like to try to live on the federal minimum wage.
Dupont has no health insurance, so she hasn't seen a doctor in two years. She's behind on her car payments and has taken out pawn shop and payday loans to cover other monthly expenses. She eats beans and oatmeal when her food budget gets low.
When she got her tax refund recently, she used the money to get ahead on her light bill.
"I try to live within my means, but sometimes you just can't," said Dupont, 25. The Houston resident works 30 to 40 hours a week taking customer service calls, earning between $7.25 and $8 an hour. That came to about $15,000 last year.
It's a wage she's lived on for a while now, but just barely.
About 3.6 million Americans were earning at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour in 2012, and those weren't all high school students flipping burgers.
About half of them were 25 or older, a little more than one-third were working full time and a little less than three-fourths had graduated from high school, according to the most recent government data.
The Brad Blog: Chinese Cyber Attacks on U.S. Targets Said to Mirror U.S. Chamber of Commerce Cyber Plot Targeting Progressives Such as The BRAD BLOG
-By Brad Friedman
March 5, 2013- So what does the Chinese Government and the Rightwing mega-lobbying group calling itself the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have in common? Apparently, they are both interested in hacking into the computer networks of their perceived political opponents and appear to be using very similar techniques and tools to do so, as The Nation's Lee Fang reported on Monday.
A computer security expert cited by Fang notes "lots of overlap" between the recent documented Chinese military cyber hacks and tactics proposed for use by federal contractors working with the U.S. Chamber and their attorneys to discredit their enemies.
Rochester Post-Bulletin: IBM to move most manufacturing out of Rochester
-By Jeff Kiger
March 5, 2013- IBM is moving the bulk of its manufacturing off of the Rochester campus and to Mexico and New York.
Manufacture of the Power Systems, PureSystems and PureFlex Systems are being shifted out of Rochester to Guadalajara, Mexico, IBM Spokesman Scott Cook said.
The refurbishing of used machines now done in Rochester is being moved to Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Some smaller manufacturing processes will remain, including the prototyping of new products through the Customer Solution Center as well as the final assembly of Blue Gene supercomputers
Cook said the change will affect both full-time IBM employees and contract workers. He declined to say how many workers would lose their jobs or how many are currently employed in Rochester. IBM has not reported employee numbers since 2008, when it said the Rochester site had 4,200 employees.

Think Progress: Corporate Profits Have Risen Almost 20 Times Faster Than Workers' Incomes Since 2008
-By Travis Waldron
March 4, 2013- Corporate profits hit record highs in the second half of 2012, but that prosperity hasn't led to the creation of jobs, since America's biggest firms are sitting on stocks of cash instead of investing them back into the economy.
At the same time, wages hit record lows, and corporate earnings are rising nearly 20 times faster than disposable incomes, the New York Times reports:
As a percentage of national income, corporate profits stood at 14.2 percent in the third quarter of 2012, the largest share at any time since 1950, while the portion of income that went to employees was 61.7 percent, near its lowest point since 1966. In recent years, the shift has accelerated during the slow recovery that followed the financial crisis and ensuing recession of 2008 and 2009, said Dean Maki, chief United States economist at Barclays.
NY Times: Recovery in U.S. Is Lifting Profits, but Not Adding Jobs
-By Nelson D. Schwartz
March 3, 2013- With the Dow Jones industrial average flirting with a record high, the split between American workers and the companies that employ them is widening and could worsen in the next few months as federal budget cuts take hold.
That gulf helps explain why stock markets are thriving even as the economy is barely growing and unemployment remains stubbornly high.
With millions still out of work, companies face little pressure to raise salaries, while productivity gains allow them to increase sales without adding workers.
"So far in this recovery, corporations have captured an unusually high share of the income gains," said Ethan Harris, co-head of global economics at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "The U.S. corporate sector is in a lot better health than the overall economy. And until we get a full recovery in the labor market, this will persist."
The result has been a golden age for corporate profits, especially among multinational giants that are also benefiting from faster growth in emerging economies like China and India.
AlterNet: Sh*t CEOs Say: 6 Outrageous Statements from America's Big-Mouthed Overlords
Regulating their mouths is not the strong suit of America's corporate chieftains.
-By Lynn Stuart Parramore
March 3, 2013- The sh*t CEOs say! When the chiefs of giant corporations are not blaming others for their mismanagement and unscrupulous behavior, they're explaining why their distorted worldviews are best for the 99 percent. They do this, of course, at a time of declining national median income and huge paydays for executives.
Recently, there has been an uptick of particularly stupid remarks coming from the mouths of America's CEOs. Here are a few of the most out-of-touch and out-of-line oracles, a mix of recent gaffes and classic blunders.
1. "That's why I'm richer than you."
Moyers & Company: Why Are Walmart Billionaires Bankrolling Phony School 'Reform' In LA?
-by Peter Dreier
March 2, 2013- For years, Los Angeles has been ground zero in an intense debate about how to improve our nation's education system. What's less known is who is shaping that debate. Many of the biggest contributors to the so-called "school choice" movement — code words for privatizing our public education system — are billionaires who don't live in Southern California, but have gained significant influence in local school politics. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's recent contribution of $1 million to a political action committee created to influence next week's LAUSD school board elections is only the most recent example of the billionaire blitzkrieg.
For more than a decade, however, one of the biggest of the billionaire interlopers has been the Walton family, heirs to the Walmart fortune, who have poured millions into a privatization-oriented, ideological campaign to make LA a laboratory for their ideas about treating schools like for-profit businesses, and treating parents, students and teachers like cogs in what they must think are education big-box retail stores.

Restaurant review: Taj Mahal 2 brings authentic taste of India to Stuart
Curry is what makes Indian food distinctive. Many people think curry is a spice, but, in fact, it is a combination of spices, and its flavor is determined by region and availability. Most people think curry is naturally hot, but really the heat can be adjusted to suit any taste.
Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and very patient. The menu is large and varied, and for newcomers it can be overwhelming. So the three of us decided to try as many dishes as possible.
We began with the Chef's Special Appetizer ($7.95), consisting of vegetable samosa, onion bhaji, Aloo, Chicken and Cheese Pakora and Papadam. This was like having a tray of spiced fritters with exotic flavors you won't find anywhere else. Everything was served hot (in temperature), and the unusual blend of spices and textures was an interesting experience for the taste buds.
Other starters included soups and individual versions of items found in the chef's appetizer, with costs ranging from $2.95 to $4.95.
Entree choices are numerous and categorized as lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetarian meals, as well as clay-oven cooking. We chose Chicken Tikka Masala ($11.95), Shrimp Vindaloo ($13.95), Seikh Kebab ($13.95) and Eggplant Bhartha ($8.95) and chose them in various degrees of "heat."
The chicken had nice large cubes of breast meat cooked in a creamy tomato sauce with onion, pepper and spices. It was delicate yet hearty. The shrimp were moist, flavorful and fiery (we ordered them that way) in a pungent and aromatic sauce that tasted how most Americans imagine curry to be strong and hot.
The seikh kebab consisted of minced lamb blended with spices and came on a bed of grilled onions. Not too spicy, it had herbs that gave it a unique flavor similar to that of Greek gyros. The eggplant was grated and smoked and then blended with minced onions, yogurt and curry to create a smooth almost saucelike dish. All meals come with basmati rice.
Chutney is a standard side dish eaten to offset the heat of the curry. It comes in mango, tamarind and mint. Yogurt (raita) has a cooling effect if you have gone too hot with the curry. Each is $1.75.
Indian breads (nan) are wonderful works of art that are similar to pita but not as dry. We ordered cheese and Pashwara (stuffed with almonds and raisins) and could have feasted on those alone ($3.95 each).
Two glasses of sauvignon blanc and one Indian Beer ($3.50 each) kept us cool. One dessert (of two available that evening) was more than enough. Kulfi (Indian ice cream) was not nearly as inspiring as the dinner but cleansed the palate ($2.95).
The food, variety and value were excellent. You don't come here for the decor or the china (think melamine), you come here to try something new. If you are not adventurous, this is not for you.
Dinner for three, including gratuity, came to $100, and we all went home with another meal to remember.

Not that nationality matters, the editors insist: "The literary homeland... is the language itself."
Hossein Darakhshan, born in Tehran on January 7, 1975, has dual Canadian-Iranian nationality.
He doesn't identify with a country, a nationality, a religion, or anything.
She did, however, choose to surmise that "The nationality of the shooter, it sounds Hispanic, Latino," based on his name.
It's a word that doesn't just describe our nationality or legal status.
The latter also carries a flag—of nationality not so easily determined.
The problems of nationality are wrapped up in the problems of personality.
After learning that I did not smoke, and had no objection to children, he inquired my nationality.
But the simple measure of nationality is severely natural and elemental.
Under which mass of overwhelming proofs of nationality the Amie du Drapeau gave in.
1690s, "national quality," from national + -ity (in some usages perhaps from French nationalité. As "fact of belonging to or being a citizen of a particular state," from 1828, gradually shading into "race, ethnicity." Meaning "separate existence as a nation" is recorded from 1832. Related: Nationalities.
But I do love a country that loves itself. I love a country that insists on its own nationality which is the same thing as a person's insisting on his own personality. [Robert Frost, letter, April 21, 1919]

"The Relaxed Town of Keluang" Keluang by Aidy_p
Keluang Travel Guide: 37 reviews and 84 photos
Simplistic as it may sound, Keluang is known for it's rubber growing capabilities, and also for their coffee and organic fruit. As such, I set out on my journey to see what this little town has to offer.
I've heard so much about the railway stations from the rest of the VTers. But unfortunately, I did not managed to visit the grand dame of Keluang due to time constraints. But Keluang is not all about just the train station right? Erm, maybe it is. Nah! Anyway, I did one better by visiting the source of the coffee power. Ah huh!

A pair of technical fouls seemed to take the energy out of the John Hardin Lady Bulldogs on Saturday night.
After falling into a big hole against LaRue County, the visiting Lady Bulldogs rallied to slice their deficit to 12 points on a 3-pointer by senior guard Kristin Shonkwiler with 50.7 seconds left in the third period.
But the John Hardin bench was called for two technical fouls 21 seconds apart, and the Lady Hawks scored eight points to take control en route to a 61-44 win over their 5th Region rivals.
LEXINGTON— After last Saturday's 77-70 loss at Georgia in their Southeastern Conference opener, one had to wonder how the Kentucky Wildcats would respond.
If the last two games are any indication, the Wildcats are going to be just fine.
The LaRue County Hawks realized the Hart County Raiders weren't at full strength, so they might have been thinking a win was going to come easy.
It didn't. At least not at first.
The Raiders jumped out to an 11-6 lead, prompting LaRue County coach Paul Childress to call a timeout where he challenged his team to start playing better on both end of the court.
LaRue County responded just as Childress hoped, taking the lead less than 2 minutes later and rolling to a 77-43 victory over the visiting Raiders in an 18th District game Friday night.
The homestanding LaRue County Hawks ran their winning streak to seven as they overwhelmed the short-handed Hart County Raiders, 77-43 in an 18th District game Friday night.
The Hawks used a 21-0 run over the second and third quarters to build a 51-20 lead. Junior Kyle Meredith sparked the run with seven points and six players scored during the spurt.
Don't look now, but Alysse Bishop and the rest of the Central Hardin Lady Bruins are starting to get their swagger back.
The senior guard scored 10 of her 16 points in an early flurry and the suddenly surging Lady Bruins won a 17th District game for the second straight night Friday by routing the visiting Fort Knox Lady Eagles, 78-27.
Once Central Hardin got in a zone Friday night, it was out of its deficit against the visiting Fort Knox Eagles.
The host Bruins, who trailed by eight points in the first quarter and were still down two with less than 4 minutes left in the third period, switched to their 2-2-1 zone defense and frustrated the Eagles, allowing them to rally for a 69-60 victory over their 17th District foe.
"We made the switch to our zone, which got us some easy layups and a couple of steals," said Central Hardin junior guard Jared Cromartie.
Knowing what was on the line Friday night, LaRue County twin seniors Lyndsay and Valerie Whitlock weren't about to let the visiting Hart County Lady Raiders beat them for the second time this season.
Trailing by 10 points midway through the third quarter, the Lady Hawks rallied behind the play of their team's only seniors to pick up a 53-50 win in a critical 18th District game.
Adelaide Luckett thinks Elizabethtown is making progress.
The Lady Panthers' defense surely did in Friday night's physical 17th District game.
Jordan Daniel didn't have the best shooting night Thursday night. But the Central Hardin senior guard hit a clutch shot when her team needed it most.
With the visiting Lady Bruins leading by four with less than 3 minutes left, Daniel calmly sank a 3-pointer from the right wing to push the lead to seven and Central Hardin held on for a 53-42 over John Hardin in a crucial 17th District game at the Dawg Pound.
North Hardin put the basketball in the hands of its steady point guard.
And everyone got out of Trevino Coney's way – Elizabethtown players included.
With his team down by a point, Coney found a hole in the defense, drove the length of the court and hit a game-winning layup with 3.3 seconds left to lift visiting North Hardin to a 77-76 victory over 17th District rival Elizabethtown.
Coney stayed patient and went to work.

Dogs play an important role in so many lives that it should come as no surprise that they are seen showing up in various religious traditions. Not only in Christianity, but with various denominations around the world, man's best friend is sometimes God's best servant.
To start with, you will find dogs pop in ancient religious folklore with frequency. In most cases they are seen as protectors of man, even being sacrificed when their human companion dies so that they may enter the next world side by side. King Tut was buried with his dog, as were numerous other religious leaders in history.
Ancient mythology is where we first see dogs showing up prominently in religion. Ancient Greeks revered dogs as messengers, and even feared the three headed dog who guarded over the gates of Hades. Meanwhile in Africa, certain tribes believed that it was a dog who solved a conflict between three of their Gods. In return, the Gods gave the dogs the job of guarding women, guiding men, and leading all spirits.
In the Philippines, the Ifugao people believed that earth was created by a great hunter sent to this world with his dogs. Since the terrain was flat, making it difficult to track, the God created mountains, hills and valleys to make it easier to track his dogs and hunt.
Dogs and Christianity
Dogs appear in Christianity too. In Grenada it is believed that the shepherds had three dogs while in Catholicism there are a number of saints who are shown with their dogs. Many were even led to God by their dogs. And the belief that dogs are allowed entrance into heaven is growing among the Christian community.
Consider this as your dog watches his world from behind that PetSafe containment system he lives behind. His entire world is your yard, and that space the wireless fence allows, and in some respects you are his own God. Like our God, you provide the nourishment that a dog needs along with an unforgiving love for when he misbehaves.
We may not hold dogs in reverence the way that other religious denominations of the past have, but they can teach us valuable lessons about love and respect for the creator of our universe. As they stay within the bounds that we have set for them with our wireless pet containment fences, they show us that no matter how long they are kept waiting, there will always be love waiting when you return.

Too much alcohol has a greater effect on women, study found
MONDAY, Oct. 13 (HealthDay News) -- The more alcohol you drink, the more your brain shrinks, a new study has found.
"The take-home message is that, if you drink a lot, you're going to hurt your brain," said Rajesh Miranda, an associate professor of neuroscience and experimental therapeutics at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. "This is something we knew, but this is a huge study that quantifies that."
"It's not surprising that alcohol would cause shrinkage of the brain. That kind of thing has been observed in animal models and smaller studies," Miranda added. "The surprising thing is that they [the study authors] showed that even low levels of drinking are not protective, as people had seen in other cases."
The findings are published in the October issue of the Archives of Neurology.
Brain volume decreases naturally as people age, at a rate of about 1.9 percent per decade. At the same time, the brain acquires white matter lesions as it gets older. Both of these changes also accompany dementia and cognitive decline, according to background information in the study.
Moderate levels of alcohol consumption have been linked with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, leading researchers to hypothesize that restrained tippling might also slow declines in brain volume. Previous studies have also found that drinking alcohol in moderation is associated with improved cognitive function and a decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
For the new study, led by Carol Ann Paul, of Wellesley College in Massachusetts, researchers conducted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and health exams on 1,839 adults (average age 60) participating in the Framingham Offspring Study between 1999 and 2001. None of the participants had evidence of clinical dementia or had suffered a stroke.
