Dime: Montrezl Harrell and Russ Smith are both projected to go in the first round of the NBA Draft this year. What do you expect in the future from your two former teammates?
PS: I definitely think they'll both make it. As per account of whoever I think they both have a legitimate shot to make it the NBA and have a great career. They are both great players and they're proven winners. They are back-to-back champions in their conference and they both won a National Championship. I think they will have great careers wherever they end up, whatever round they end up going.
Dime: If you were an NBA general manager, who would you pick in this year's draft? Who is most NBA-ready?
PS: The one guy most NBA ready: I got to go with my guy Russ Smith. I'm Louisville biased man, he's my guy [laughs]. But also I like Jabari Parker. He's a really solid player; he's a really good player. Just watching a couple of their games, he's kind of a do-it-all kind of player. Scorer, rebounder, I think he's a real good talent.
Dime: What was the biggest transition from college to the NBA?
PS: The biggest transition was the traveling. The speed of the game as well. It's a lot faster than college. It's been a big transition for me, you don't practice quite as much as you do in college. You always have to stay prepared, and be ready for your opportunity.
Dime: You spent a couple weeks with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, how'd that go for you? What was the D-League experience like?
PS: It was great, gave me the chance to go down and play. You know I haven't played a lot in the NBA, so I got a chance to go down there, to do some reps and get some running against a lot of good players, good professional players. It helped me out a lot in regards to confidence and playing basketball.
Dime: What's the biggest thing the Pistons need to work on to turn things around a bit?
PS: We show glimpses of how good our team can be. I think we just need to continue what we're doing. When we do that, play together, share the ball, we look unstoppable.
Dime: Individually, what part of your game do you need to work on?
PS: For me it's continuing to play with confidence. Going down to the Mad Ants I really wanted to work on my shooting and my decision making. I think I did a good job of shooting, I was around 50 percent from the three-point line. I really worked on my shot, so just maintaining that and playing how I've been playing; just keep improving.
Dime: Are you looking to get back into the rotation here soon?
PS: My ankle is feeling better, I'm trying to get back into the rotation and do whatever I can to help the team out.
Dime: Did you ever watch the movie "Like Mike" growing up as a kid?
PS: Yeah [laughs].
Dime: There's a part in the movie, where Morris Chestnut asks Bow Wow what his favorite part of playing in the NBA is, and he says, "the room service." So what's your favorite part of the NBA? Is it the room service?
PS: Definitely not the room service! The room service is very expensive, so that's not for me [laughs]. The best part so far would be the traveling. We travel on a private airplane, where they feed us and take care of us. It's been a great experience for me.
Dime: How much free time do you guys usually get to sightsee or go out?
PS: We get there the day before a game and get a lot of time to just go out and see the city. In college you never got to do that. I remember my first experience was: first city we flew to, I asked if I could go grab some food because in college you're not allowed to leave the hotel without asking coach and the guy looked at me and said, "You can do whatever you want."
Dime: What's your favorite city that you've traveled to so far?
PS: I really liked San Francisco. Golden State had nice weather, it was a nice town. The west coast is nice. I got to see my family.

Fan tattoos 'Messi 10' on his back to impress his hero
An Argentine fan of football great Lionel Messi -- Hernan Baigoria -- appears to have gone above and beyond to show his love for the Barcelona superstar.
According to The Mirror, while most football fans would just get a shirt with their favourite player's name and number on the back, a crazed Baigoria decided it would be a good idea instead to get 'Messi 10' inked on his back as a tattoo.
When Messi himself heard of the decision, he invited Baigoria to come and show his tattoo to him in the flesh.
The video of the Hernan meeting his hero is entitled "The passion for Messi has no limits" - watch it above.

Posted January 25, 2013 on AP on Fox
Now that the Dallas Stars finally have reached a contract agreement with their star player, they can devote their full attention to what's happening on the ice. Jamie Benn likely won't be around, though, to try and help contain Blues rookie sensation Vladimir Tarasenko. Dallas looks to avoid a fourth straight loss in the series when it hosts St. Louis on Saturday night. The Stars made an in-game announcement that received a loud ovation during Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Chicago that they had reached a five-year, $26.25 million contract with Benn, who was a restricted free agent after setting career highs with 26 goals and 37 assists last season. "Jamie Benn has proven in his short, but very productive NHL career, that he is not only this franchise's cornerstone player, but also an emerging superstar in the league," general manager Joe Nieuwendyk told the team's official website. "We believe that Jamie has the necessary tools to continue his growth and lead this team into th...

Critics argue the law encourages sprawl, and are hoping their lawsuit will stop it from allowing unchecked development in exurban areas.
But supporters argue the bill is meant to encourage infill, which eventually convinced the legislature to pass the bill.
"Both legislative chambers passed it the measure on the final day of the 2009 session after changing some House provisions the drew opposition from the state's chief planning official.
The previous law required roads and other transportation facilities to be in place before development can occur."

Movie Info
Considered by many to be the greatest chess player to ever live, Bobby Fischer Against the World is the first and definitive documentary biography of the eccentric genius who rose from humble beginnings and captivated a world audience with his victory over Russia's Boris Spassky at the height of the Cold War. His trajectory propelled him from child prodigy to US champion at age 15 and world champion at 29. Quixotically refusing to defend his championship, Fischer became a virtual recluse for decades before resurfacing for a bizarre final chapter as a fugitive from US justice. Rare archival footage and insightful interviews with those closest to him expand this captivating story of a mastermind's tumultuous rise -- and fall. --(c)Music Box Films … More

The Awards
For a long time, certifications for responsible food production and awards for superior taste have remained distinct—one honors social and environmental responsibility, while the other celebrates flavor. The Good Food Awards recognize that truly good food—the kind that brings people together and builds strong, healthy communities—contains all of these ingredients. We take a comprehensive view, honoring people who make food that is delicious, respectful of the environment, and connected to communities and cultural traditions.
The Good Food Awards were created through a collaboration of food producers, farmers, food journalists and independent grocers organized by Seedling Projects. This team nominates judges from across the country to select over 100 winners from 5 regions of the country that are then honored at a special ceremony in San Francisco in January. Various food luminaries have hosted this event, including Alice Waters. To showcase the winners among the broader food-loving public, there is a vibrant Good Food Marketplace the day after the awards ceremony. Visitors to the marketplace can taste, buy and meet the producers behind theses award-winning foods, surrounded by the spectacular Saturday Farmers' Market at San Francisco's iconic Ferry Building.
In its fifth year, the Good Food Awards Ceremony and Gala Reception was held on January 14, 2015 at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater. The year's 146 winners were honored by special guests and leaders of the food movement. The Gala reception featured winning products in their unaltered forms on regional tasting plates, as well as in original dishes conceived of by some of San Francisco's most celebrated chefs.

A drop in proposed equalized values for the Cape's 15 towns will cause minor shifts in county assessments.

A strong June at the Registry of Deeds was good news for Barnstable County's treasury and the economy in general, although no one is calling it a trend.
Summer family theater is back in Barnstable with two new shows and a new name.

Public comment had no limit July 3 as the Marstons Mills Village Association and the West Barnstable Civic Association held their annual cookout at Burgess House in the Mills.
Cotuit folks who appreciate the undeveloped wooded acreage surrounding Lowell Park will be pleased to know that the area may remain that way, should the Lowell family and the Barnstable Land Trust reach an agreement regarding the sale of the property.
With guarantees of access to fishing grounds and a promise to help give young fishermen an opportunity to break into the business, Cape Wind Associates convinced the Martha's Vineyard/Dukes County Fishermen Association to drop its opposition to the proposed 130-turbine wind farm on Nantucket Sound.
As the hub of Cape Cod, Hyannis has much to see: cozy shops, inviting eateries, and various scenic locales. It also has something else: heart.
After seven years of fighting with the Town of Barnstable over his rights to develop a piece of property at the corner of Route 6A and Buttonwood Lane in West Barnstable, Patrick Page is gambling that a resolution will flow from the drainpipe he's sealed shut.

Idea for A STAR TREK SERIES "Star Trek, Red Squad"

Re: Idea for A STAR TREK SERIES "Star Trek, Red Squad"
A Red Squad series would be doomed from the start. Red Squad, by definition, was a corrupt organization, playing at the egos of its members - when you believe you are the best, then by definition you think you are better than everyone else, and this leads to all sorts of problems. Not the least of which was Red Squad being used as a tool by Admiral Leyton in his attempted takeover of the government. An organization like that could not help but do something like that - hell, if Leyton hadn't come along, they might have tried it on their own.
I would not be at all surprised if Red Squad had ties to Section 31 in some manner. Red Squad had no more of a 'right' to exist than Section 31 did, and I view both organizations as similarly corrupt.

Momentum seen building to raise minimum wage, says advocacy coordinator
Bills in each chamber of Congress would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Opinion polls show both Democrats and Republicans are OK with the raise.
Bills in each chamber of Congress would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Opinion polls show both Democrats and Republicans are OK with the raise.
"No other document gives us the crucial role of Catholic higher education in the church," one theology professor said.
Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington dedicated a newly installed mosaic Sunday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, and the work is "the second to the last step" in completing the artistic vision of the shrine's original designers.
A news release said installation of the South Gallery Vault Mosaic, above the shrine's M.P. Moller pipe organ, leaves just one area in the Great Upper Church unadorned -- the Trinity Dome, which is the interior of the blue dome that is one of the exterior hallmarks of the shrine.
The House passed a five-year farm bill Wednesday, more than a year after the 2008 farm bill expired and two days before an extension of the prior measure was to expire.
While Catholic groups and other rural advocates were urging passage of a farm bill, their support for this House version of the bill was muted, largely because of an $8 billion cut in food stamps and the deleting of agricultural reform measures from the version of the bill that came out of a joint House-Senate conference committee.
Passage of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act "will help save lives and will reduce abortions," U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said Tuesday.
The measure, known as H.R. 7, was approved 227 to 188.
Sponsored by Smith and U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act applies the principles of the Hyde amendment to federal health programs, including the Affordable Care Act. Since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has prohibited the use of taxpayer dollars to fund federal subsidies to any part of a benefits package that includes elective abortions.
Lawmakers peppered Pentagon officials Wednesday about claims that military chaplains have faced discrimination for their beliefs, and time and again, chaplains and personnel officials said they were unaware of any bias.
Virginia Penrod, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military personnel policy, told the House Subcommittee on Military Personnel that she could not cite specific instances where chaplains had to preach a sermon or oversee a ceremony that conflicted with their beliefs.
In his fifth State of the Union address Tuesday, President Barack Obama stressed many themes that are on the advocacy agendas of faith-based organizations: income inequality, immigration reform and peaceful resolution of global conflicts.
Comments about the speech the next day highlighted some details that advocates for poor people and immigrants, in particular, would like to see addressed.
A lot of "positive feedback" has been reported from hotels expecting an influx of visitors for Sunday's Super Bowl with regard to efforts to curb human trafficking -- primarily sex trafficking -- surrounding the event.
The report comes from Margot Morris, program director for the Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment. It has been Morris' job to reach out to hotels big and small from Connecticut to Philadelphia as fans check in with football on their mind -- and traffickers check in with easy money on their mind.
The ongoing strife in Ukraine is a citizen reaction to an "ideology of control and repressiveness, of control and domination," according to the archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, who has been monitoring events in his ancestral homeland.
Bishop Ronald Gainer of Lexington, Ky., has been named to head the diocese of Harrisburg, Pa., and the vicar general of the diocese of Fresno, Calif., has been named auxiliary bishop of Sacramento, Calif.
Pope Francis made the appointments Friday. They were announced in Washington by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Later in the day, the new bishops were introduced at news conferences in the two state capitals.

Unfortunately these do not work for very stubborn acne like mine. I get nodular acne and cysts. I have tried EVERYTHING on the market for the last few years and nothing worked for me so I have currently started a treatment of accutane.
I am sure if you just get the odd few spots this could work very well for you. I love the smell of it too!

I love this mask. I've been using it for years. I have occasional breakouts, and while this mask doesn't make zits disappear, it does seem to make them less angry-looking and more soothed. I love the cool tingle of it, and it works well as an overnight spot treatment too! I've turned a couple friends onto it.

I LOVE this mask. It makes my skin look so nice. I don't have acne, only a few pimples on my forehead and nose. It doesn't get rid of them, but it makes them so much less noticeable. My pore are tiny after using this and my skin glows. I just used it (for the millionth time) a few minutes ago and I feel amazing. I took off a lippie because yeah, it doesn't get rid of acne very well and the packaging is irritating. If you don't use a spatula or spoon or something it could get unsanitary. Other than that it's fun, refreshing, and it makes my skin look beautiful. Honestly this may sound trite, but I feel great about myself after using this.

i was skeptical about using this mask after i saw some bad reviews online. the body shop has more expensive better looking masks, i only bought this one because it was on sale for $6. i applied the mask to damp skin after the shower and left it on for 10 minutes. I'm not going to lie, the feeling was tingly and it burned a bit but overall it felt like it was working! After washing it off the results were great: my skin felt refreshed and clear. this was the first facial mask i used so i cant really compare it to others, but i thought it was great!

I loved this mask. It definitely made my skin feel refreshed and clean.
It definitely dries out blemishes well.
However, when I use it with the tea tree oil face cleanser, the mask seems to irritate my skin - perhaps too strong in combination.
Definitely will repurchase the mask - but I use it very sparingly - butt that won't be for a while since the product practically lasts a lifetime.

I absolutely love this product!! I have used it since I was about 15 and I can't really find any reason to fault it. It makes my skin feel really soft and on my skin it has helped reduce the appearance/redness of any blemishes. It also lasts for ages which I think makes the price quite reasonable.

Oh!!! How can I forget to review this wonderful mask??? I had this mask for more than 1 year (opps, this mask supposed to be good for 12 months after opened). I am still using the old range. It is good deep cleansing mask, not drying at all. I left it on for more than 1/2 hrs, it does not tightens like any deep cleansing mask. I do love the green tint, my hubby loves to make fun of me when I am using this mask. Less is more for this mask, that explains why am I still have balance of this mask after 12 months:):) I think this mask can be used every day, since it is so mild and gentle.

Results reported here by L.L. Brothers and colleagues show the first evidence for widespread seabed methane venting along the southeastern U.S. Atlantic Margin beyond the well-known Blake Ridge Diapir Seep. While it was suspected that such seeps existed, there was little direct evidence until now. Data collected from recent ship and autonomous underwater vehicle surveys discovered multiple water-column gas plumes (>1000 m height and made up of bubbles). Brothers and colleagues also mapped extensive new chemosynthetic seep communities (communities of biological organisms that directly use methane and/or sulfide for life processes) at the Blake Ridge and Cape Fear Diapirs. Flow along these systems is both more dynamic (more active) and more widespread than previously believed.
Dynamic weakening by nanoscale smoothing during high-velocity fault slip
Xiaofeng Chen et al. (Ze'ev Reches, corresponding), School of Geology and Geophysics, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma 73019, USA. Posted online ahead of print 16 May 2013; http://dx.doi.org/10.1130/G34169.1.
While slip during large earthquakes occurs along faults that are hundreds of kilometers long, the dynamic weakening that drives these earthquakes is controlled by nano- to micro-scale frictional processes. Xiaofeng Chen and colleagues analyzed the nano- to micro-scale friction processes along experimental faults that slipped at high slip-velocity. Their analysis showed that the experimental faults became very smooth and developed shiny, mirror surfaces. The nanoscale friction coefficient dropped on these highly smooth surfaces and demonstrated, for the first time, that slip-smoothing at high slip-velocities can be an effective mechanism of dynamic weakening.

As the first of three official visits on consecutive weekends, Iowa State was the bar-setter for Houston (Tex.) Northbrook athlete Derrick Rainey. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Rainey took his official visit to ISU this past weekend and went home of the opinion that ISU, Ames and the state of Iowa in general had exceeded his expectations."It's a really nice school," Rainey said about Iowa State. "I didn't know anything about Iowa, it blew me away, it's a really nice place. I didn't expect so much. Everybody knew our names at the game and we got to do a lot of things with the team. Coming in on the team bus and walking through the crowd of people to get to the stadium, that was just a crazy great experience."Rainey said that Iowa State is recruiting him strictly as a wide receiver while his other two favorites, TCU and Arizona, continue to see him as an athlete who could play receiver or safety. And he'll see what those schools have to offer very soon."I am going to TCU next week (Sept. 12) and Arizona after that (Sept. 19)," said Rainey. "Those are the schools that have offered me so I going to visit them first."Rainey's older brother Jonathan is a linebacker at New Mexico. ...More...

MIAMI, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) is launching a new national program called Hypertension ... Control is in your Hands (Presion alta ... El control esta en tus manos) with the goal of raising awareness of hypertension (high blood pressure), promoting prevention, and helping Hispanic adults bring their high blood pressure under control. The Alliance is conducting education and blood pressure screening events in Miami in collaboration with the Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. The first event will be this Friday, September 14, 2007 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Rafael Villaverde Senior Center at 700 SW 8th Street in Miami.
"It's of great concern that there is a significant proportion of the Hispanic population with hypertension who are unaware of their condition and do not have their high blood pressure under control," said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health. "As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Alliance and our partners are going to make a difference by launching a series of community education and blood pressure screening events that will improve health and save lives."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that Hispanics with hypertension are less likely to be aware of their condition. Among Mexican American adults with hypertension, only about half (49.8%) are aware of their condition and are less likely to have their hypertension under control (17.3%) compared to non-Hispanic blacks (29.8%) and non-Hispanic whites (29.8%) with high blood pressure.
While hypertension rates are lower among Mexican Americans, research
from the Institute of Medicine and National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute is raising concern that rates may increase after the first
generation as Hispanics adopt unhealthy habits, including dietary
practices. According to CDC, the age-adjusted prevale

Letter to the Editor: Takeover by stealth
Duane Flack, Wichita Falls
A book, "And Not a Shot is Fired" was written by Jan Kozak; originally published in Czech under the title, "How Parliament Can Play a Revolutionary Part in the Transition to Socialism and the Role of the Popular Masses."
This book is not theory. Kozak explains how a free government of Czechoslovakia was transformed into a totalitarian dictatorship — legally. The Soviet Army was not needed to subdue Czechoslovakia in 1948, Kozak states, because by that time the Czech people had already unknowingly chosen the path to dictatorship.
Kozak and his co-conspirators manipulated the Czechoslovakian people "into voting themselves into slavery" by using what he called "pressure from above" and "pressure from below." Not unlike Mussolini and Hitler had done earlier, the Czechoslovak Communists "were able to throw off a freely elected government and impose dictatorship by using certain levers of government power in coordination with targeted mass agitation."
"And Not a Shot is Fired" is essential precautionary reading for Americans, who remain largely unaware of the tactics revolutionaries use to seize power. Under varied ideological camouflage, many of the revolutionary methods described by Kozak are "today more than ever being targeted against American liberties." Former Czechoslovakian Vice-Premier Petr Zenkl warned: "read it and heed it, gentlemen of the Free world, while you are free." Americans who ignore Kozak today do so at their own peril.
Are "We the People," about to vote ourselves into a quagmire like the Czechs did?
May I suggest that we be keenly aware that this nation is being held hostage by a one-man wrecking ball, Barack Obama, the great destroyer of the constitution and his war on the Republic.
Volumes have been written on Obama's idealism on socialist-like actions and his stealthily engineering of a controlled starvation of America's most vital industry — capital, the lifeblood of our economy. His actions, in part, have successively divided and conquered the masses with dubious statements and actions.
Mr. Obama may not traditionally think of himself as a Socialist, but rather a ruler over the universe — much like a narcissist — very eccentric with dangerous destructive motives toward our country.

When it comes to energy production in New Mexico, there's no place like the southeastern corner of the state.
It's not just the oil patch. The Permian Basin, which stretches across southwestern Texas into southeastern New Mexico, certainly has vast amounts of oil and natural gas available for extraction, but that's not the only energy-related industry in these parts. There's also a corridor of activity that's critical to the nation's nuclear industry.
Homecoming: a double shot of it is here in the Meadow City.
Robertson and New Mexico Highlands both host homecoming festivities this week, with the Cardinals' football game vs. Capital on Friday night, and the Cowboys home at last against Fort Lewis on Saturday afternoon.
For Robertson (2-2), Friday is a prime opportunity to extend its current winning streak to three against a Capital team that hasn't had a winning season in a while.
NEW YORK — The lovable legend of Yogi Berra, that ain't ever gonna be over.
The Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his linguistically dizzying "Yogi-isms" as his unmatched 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, died Tuesday. He was 90.
Berra, who filled baseball's record book as well as "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," died of natural causes at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
Getting stronger each set, the West Las Vegas volleyball team was a rude guest Tuesday night in Socorro.
The Lady Dons swept to a 25-21, 25-12, 15-11 road win, rising to 5-1 overall. They were to host Bernalillo on Thursday evening at Gillie Lopez Gym.
Balance on attack was evident, as Jaylen Gutierrez, Jenika Padilla and Kyanna Spaulding each hit nine kills, and Reyna Trujillo had seven. Deanna Bustos collected 37 assists in running the offense to go with five aces.
The monkey is officially off their backs.
And it's not a moment too soon, because it was feeling more and more like a 500-pound gorilla.
Robertson boys' soccer team torched Tierra Encantada 7-0 on Wednesday afternoon for its first win of the season.
The Cardinals outshot its opponent 23 to 3, with the midfield and defense combining for one of the best showings of the fall.
Frsehman T.J. Trujillo scored two goals and added two assists; twice he was taken down in the penalty area, resulting in penalty kicks.

Hubble, the emaciated dog whose plight galvanized animal lovers around the world and prompted city officials to beef up how they handle animal abuse and neglect cases, has died.
NMDOG, the Rio Rancho nonprofit that was paying the vet bills for Hubble, announced that he had died on its Facebook page.

Junior forward Pete Massar has left the Clarkson University men's hockey program and transferred to the University of Vermont.
Massar is a native of Williston, Vt., which is only eight miles from Burlington, where the University of Vermont's campus is located.
Massar struggled with a groin injury he had prior to his arrival at Clarkson and played in only 19 games in his two years with the Golden Knights. He had one assist in 13 games as a freshman and he scored one goal in six games last year.
He will have to sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules.
"Peter transferred from Clarkson University to Vermont this year and approached us about joining our family," Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon said in a press release. "Though he must sit out a year, he adds depth to our forward line-up and will work hard to prepare himself for the following season. Peter is a very skilled forward and we look forward to helping his overall game develop this year."

ZTE Grand S II may arrive with 4GB of RAM
The ZTE Grand S II was originally unveiled back in January during CES. ZTE offered a good look at the handset at the time, and even detailed the specs. Skipping to the present day though and it looks like there may have been a change in terms of the RAM. The Grand S II was originally listed as having 2GB of RAM, and a Tenaa filing suggests that may actually be doubled.

(Brett Davis/USATSI)In light of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal, the NBA sent a memo to all 30 teams warning them that bullying or hazing of any kind will not be tolerated, reports ESPN.com's Marc Stein.According to the report, the memo mentions the situation involving Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, and details what type of behaviors would violate the NBA's policy.Incognito was suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team after allegedly leaving Martin voicemails and texts that contained racist and threatening language. Martin left the team and is in California and the NFL hired a lawyer this week to investigate the incident.GOLLIVER AND MAHONEY: Give And Go: Examining highs, lows from the opening week of the NBA seasonMore from ESPN.com:The lengthy list of violations, sources said, includes: any physical abuse or threats of violence; verbal abuse focused on an individual's race, nationality, color, gender, age, religion, sexuality, etc.; destruction, defacement or theft of a fellow player's personal property; engaging in any activity that intimidates or threatens fellow players with ostracism or inflicts extreme mental stress, embarrassment, humiliation or shame; and forcing an individual to engage in any activity or perform any task that violates federal, state or local law or NBA rules and regulations. Also prohibited, sources said, is requiring an individual to unreasonably pay for meals, travel, entertainment expenses, goods or services that are being solely enjoyed by others as well as imposing physical activities on a fellow player -- such as exposure to weather, confinement in a restricted area, or consumption of food, liquid or substance -- that leads to unreasonable risk for the individual or adversely affects their mental or physical health or safety Promoted Stories Comments

A few years ago, I bought my dream horse and ever since have boarded her in the BNT's barn in which I found her. I could never afford this trainer's professional services, but simply board her there. We are now gelling well enough when I ride that I feel more comfortable about the idea of showing. My mare could teach me a lot about showing; she won a lot before I got her.
But I know I'd really need a good two-legged mentor, and it's unlikely this trainer would be willing to do so. For months, trainer has pretty much shunned me. It's as though she no longer believes in me or takes me seriously. Every time I've said anything about showing, she just says, "Oh, that horse doesn't need to show." Well, of course the horse doesn't need to show. But maybe I do. And such comments leave me feeling very trivialized.
A few months ago, BNT did something really cra**y to me. It was completely uncalled for and trainer knew would hurt deeply, although I tried not to let it get to me. Until then, I'd thought we were friends. But I guess we weren't as good a friends as I'd thought.
I love my mare to pieces. But owning her is no fun under all the circumstances--and I've not gone into much detail. I'd like to move her, but that's not possible at the moment. I'd like to move her to a barn where I feel like it'd be possible to achieve at least some of my goals. My area is quite horse-oriented, but not toward my breed. And a lot of people (and judges) don't much care for her breed. I'd so like to have congenial barn mates.
It's a looooot harder to pursue your horse goals solo, with totally no one to help you or to refer you, if need be.
Maybe I could just use an encouraging word.
I wasn't sure which heading to put this thread under; it has elements that several headings might cover. If it's in a wrong thread, you're welcome to move it.

Acetic acid
Acetic acid Prices, markets & analysis
With a network of price reporters across Asia, Europe and the US, ICIS is fully equipped to keep you updated on everything that happens in the global Acetic acid market, whether you buy or sell Acetic acid or related products.
From daily and weekly reports containing price assessments obtained by our network of local reporters, to the news and analysis that put the market into focus, we provide the tools you need to make confident business decisions.
Acetic acid Overview Transcript
Most acetic acid is produced by methanol carbonylation. In this process methanol and carbon monoxide react to form acetic acid. The principal outlets for acetic acid are into vinyl acetate monomer or VAM, acetic anhydride and purified terephthalic acid or PTA. Europe is structurally dependent on imported material.
The largest European producer is BP which is based at Hull in the UK. There is also significant production in Serbia and Russia but other European plants are largely for internal consumption.
The main importers are Celanese and LyondellBasell from the US and International Acetyl Company based in Saudi Arabia. However, in a tight market buyers can source additional volumes from Asia.

Market overview
Acetic acid: Market overview
Updated to Q3 2015
Acetic Acid – Europe
Demand for acetic acid in Europe is currently satisfactory to good for this time of year. Prices are stable. Not much change is expected in the near term, although the possibilities are on the up side. While Eurochem has completed its turnaround, it is not selling anything into western Europe and is unlikely to supply in significant quantities. BP's resumption of output after a lengthy maintenance shutdown should help to increase supply a little further out, but Lyondell will have a turnaround for which it must prepare stocks.
Acetic Acid - Asia
The China acetic acid market outlook was described to be steady-to-soft on balanced supply/demand conditions amid concerns of demand softening, in line with expectations of reduced downstream plant operations in July/August and following traditional patterns.
Some buyers acknowledged that there was limited room for price drops in Asia in view of largely stable methanol feedstock values. Others found little justification in paying acetic acid prices given depressed derivative pricing in the solvent acetate sector.
The India market outlook was described to be steady on account of average cargo availabilities, while demand was slated to firm towards the end of the third quarter in the run up to the Diwali festival.

Gardens of the World Launches 12th Free Concert Series with Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys
(Thousand Oaks, CA) August 3, 2014 marks the kick-off of the twelfth season of free summer concerts at the Gardens of the World at 2001 Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Thousand Oaks, CA. First up are the "naughty, lovely and obscure" sounds of the Prohibition and Flapper Era with Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys, which will perform from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Klein and Her Parlor Boys transport audiences in time to the lively 1910s, 1920s and 1930s with tunes that are "low-down and hotsy-totsy." Donned in vintage fashion and a sleek bob do, Klein's vocals and versatile ukulele bring back long forgotten ditties of a spirited time in America. The group's throw-back, speakeasy-style is definitely a blast from the past. There are three remaining summer concerts in the Sunday series. August 10 is The Eric Ekstrand Ensemble, playing Swing, Jump, Boogie-Woogie and Big Band standards. August 17 features the world famous vocal talents of The Modernaires with their timeless Big Band and contemporary artist tunes. August 24 brings the Riverboat Dixie Jazz Band, playing the traditional New Orleans style of music from the "Jazz Age" of the early 1900s. Lawn seating is available in front of the Gardens of the World's American Bandstand. Blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic baskets are welcome; however, smoking, glass containers, alcohol, and pets are not allowed. No parking is permitted at the Gardens of the World for these events. There is free parking along Thousand Oaks Boulevard in front of the Gardens. Paid parking is also available at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza across the street. For additional information and sponsorship opportunities, contact the Gardens of the World at 805-557-1135 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. # # # About the Gardens of the World: It is a 4.5-acre cultural garden open free to the public and located at 2001 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, across the street from the Thousand Oaks Civic Center. The authentically landscaped Gardens commemorate various cultures of the world, including Italian, French, Japanese, and English. There is also a California Mission Courtyard, an American Bandstand for free summer jazz concerts, and the Resource Center, where local artists can exhibit their works. The Gardens of the World is owned and operated by the Hogan Family Foundation, Inc. Reservations are required for Docent tours and any group visit.

Caption The Photo: RG3 Wearing A Wig
by Vashti Hurt | Posted on Tuesday, October 15th, 2013
October is breast cancer awareness month and the NFL has been recognizing it over the last couple of weeks.
Washington Redskins quarterback RGIII and cornerback Josh Wilson decided to wear wigs in support of cancer survivors. Surprisingly, the wigs don't look that terrible on them.
Great supportive gesture by these two.
