Flag of Jalisco
|Civil and state flag
All Mexican states have a coat-of-arms; these are like flags which distinguish each of them. Also these coat of arms of Mexico's constituent states and the federal district are place on a white background proportioned 4:7. as state flags, another report refers that these very same state coats of arms are used in the central panel of a Mexican Tricolor, mainly for tourist purposes. The civil flag of Jalisco is a rectangle divided into two vertical stripes of identical width, with the colors in the following order from the flagpole with blue and gold. At the center of the flag is the state shield, with a diameter of three-quarters of the width of the stripes. The ratio of width to length of the flag is 4:7. Ribbons of the same colors may be placed at the foot of the finial.[1]
In 2001, Manuel Rodríguez raises a flag for the state of Jalisco, the proposal was the old flag of Prisciliano Sanchez, consisting of two blue strips and a strip of gold with the arms of the state in the center flag that resembled the flag of the Second Spanish Republic.

Open services innovation: Rethinking your business to grow and compete in a new era
PARC Forum
- Henry Chesbrough, Executive Director, Center for Open Innovation at UCB Haas
series: OPEN
26 August 2010
George E. Pake Auditorium, PARC
map/ directions
The advanced industrialized countries have economies that have moved from agriculture to manufacturing to services. Innovation has now got to transform along with these shifts. Innovation in services is not quite the same process as it is in technologies and products. This talk will discuss the challenges for innovation in services, the need for openness, and the subsequent transformation of business models that a services focus entails.
Henry Chesbrough is the Executive Director of the Center for Open Innovation at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. He is the author of Open Innovation (which was named a Best Business Book by Strategy & Business magazine and the best book on innovation on NPR's All Things Considered) and Open Business Models (which was named one of the ten best books on innovation by BusinessWeek). Scientific American magazine named Henry one of the top 50 technology and business leaders.
Henry's research focuses on managing technology and innovation. Previously, he was an assistant professor of business administration, and the Class of 1961 Fellow at the Harvard Business School. Prior to embarking on an academic career, Henry spent ten years in various product planning and strategic marketing positions in Silicon Valley companies. He worked for seven of those years at Quantum Corporation, a leading hard disk drive manufacturer and a Fortune 500 company, and also worked at Bain and Company.
Henry holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of California-Berkeley, an MBA from Stanford University, and a BA from Yale University, summa cum laude.

A decade back, no one would have predicted that mobile phones would be rated on the basis of the front facing cameras and the selfie features available. The selfie trend refuses to die out, continuing to hold in awe the increasing population of smartphone users. The best selfie apps work best on the best selfie phones. The software compliments the hardware to bring out that perfect selfie. We take a look at the 4 best selfie phone features. Many of these features are not disclosed by the manufacturer.
- High-resolution front camera: The general understanding is that higher the megapixel number better would be the output image. Hoping that the manufacturers give this rating based on a fixed pixel size we can safely say that higher MP rating of the front camera is better. The best selfie apps can adjust this setting.
- Wide Angle lens: Wide angle ensures that from a short distance you will be able to capture a wide range of area in the frame without having to step back considerably. Wide angle lens offers better viewing angles and hence helps in finding the best shot.
- Focal length: Smaller the Focal length, better it is for the selfie enthusiasts to capture the close range shots with minimal adjustments.
- Aperture: Also known as the f stop value, this is one of the most confused terms in photography. The smaller the f stop value, better is the quality of the image, but lesser is the image depth. If you are going to shoot the selfie from a short distance (hand held), best selfie apps adjust to a low f stop setting to give your best results.
With most of the smartphones manufactured to be ultra-slim, the features are mostly digital in nature, and the focusing is done automatically with the user not having to worry about other settings.

EDIT: I'm definitely scratching my head. I guess I'm starting my period earlier than ever before, cuz that is the only explanation. I had that super scant brown stretchy discharge through-out the day yesterday. It got a little darker at the end of the night, but still pretty light in color. Nothing all night. This morning I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, there was very small light pink spot on my toilet paper. I have never spotted pink before a period (that sounds weird maybe, but I always spot brown for like 4 days or so, not thick discharge, just brown on my tp) and usually when I start, it's crazy heavy the first day with heavy cramping and then goes light, but I guess that is what is happening(?) I put a panty liner on since I suppose I'm starting...this just all seems so weird. I usually have cravings and get moody when I'm about to start my period, and neither of those is happening at all. I'm not under stress, actually less than usual since last week I took a 3 day vacation to Monterey with just the hubby and we had an amazing time!
So weird. I dislike such big changes to my cycle without explanation.
Hi girls I know I never post and I have a laundry list of excuses why, but I'll bypass that for now!I have a question that has been bugging me and I don't know who to ask. Okay so, my period started January 2nd and lasted until like January 6th. We DTD the 8th, 11th, 13th, 19th, and 21st. I am not on birth control, not TRYING to get pregnant, and using a condom. We did not, however, use a condom on...geez probably not on any of those times except the 8th maybe. My husband wants to get a vasectomy but won't set the appointment and then does this sort of thing, which confuses me. Anyway, when we had sex on the 21st, after he finished, he noticed that I had bled a lot and it was bright red. He said I must have started my period. Um, no. I'm not due until the 30th, and would probably start spotting like 3-4 days before that. I have *never* ever had bleeding between periods, EVER. I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and had no further bleeding at all. I still have had no further bleeding, but have noticed the last two days I have had VERY scant light brown sticky kind of discharge maybe 2-3 times in the day when I wipe or on my underwear. It's not spotting at all, it's kind of weird. I even took a picture of it but I don't know why cuz I'd never show anyone, haha.Anyway, any thoughts? I'm concerned that something is wrong with me. I had no pain during that sexual experience, and it was a "quickie" so it's not like I would expect to be irritated "down there" or anything. I scheduled an appointment with my gyno because I'm about due for my yearly, but that isn't until February 16th. I don't know where else to ask this and I'm hoping someone has some kind of experience with something similar.Thank you in advance girls!

Bernie Dalton had the best seat in the house when it came to being there for Pierrot Lunaire's unlikely run to the 2012 Eclipse Award for steeplechase horse.
Seeing as how visiting Westwood suited up just seven players for Tuesday's game with Camden, it can be surmised that the Lady Bulldogs' plan of attack was to get the guests into foul trouble and, run them until their tongues were hanging down to the floor.
Rather than subject his team to the confines of the gym for practice on a sunny Sunday afternoon, Camden High basketball coach Ron McKie took his squad to the school's adjoining athletic complex to work out in the great outdoors.
In the days leading up to last year's Carolina Invitational wrestling tournament, Lugoff-Elgin Middle School head coach Ted Monroe downplayed his team's chances at winning the statewide event.
Steeplechase horses in the Carolinas whose owners and trainers have an eye cast on the early season openers now have a place to give their horses a final go 'round prior to the races which count.
It's getting harder and harder to pick and choose your sports heroes these days.
In those old-time Westerns, the Calvary always waited until the end of the movie to come in and save those in distress.
Switching out five new players at a time, Eau Claire wanted to wear down North Central. And, as the minutes started to dwindle, so did the Lady Knights' energy.
Had it been a game of craps, Lugoff-Elgin would have rolled snake eyes.
There would have been much easier circumstances for Lugoff-Elgin assistant boys' basketball coach Garrett Knight to have made his head coaching debut than the one he found himself in on Tuesday.
When you are a first-year franchise, rivalries are few and far between.
A trio of steeplechasers --- each with Camden connections --- were named as the three finalists for the 2012 Eclipse Award for steeplechasing.
Just as a mechanic puts a car on the lift to see what is wrong with a vehicle in need of repair, Camden girls' basketball coach Natalie Jeffcoat tinkered with her team's problems during halftime of Friday's game with A.C. Flora.
In preparation for Friday night's visit from A.C. Flora, Camden head coach Ron McKie put his starting five to work by trying to break the Falcons' press which was set up by his second group.
Every Way celebrated the final day of her 2-year-old campaign by ending the old year with a victory.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Fight Turns Personal for a Man at War With Zika
March 11, 2016 (Humacao, Puerto Rico) -- Coasting through the streets in a white Jeep Cherokee, Jose Baez holds a cell phone up to his ear with one hand; with the other, he waves down a passing police cruiser.
He has just come from an auto shop, where dozens of tires sit piled up on the sidewalk. Mosquitoes buzz around them.
Baez shakes his head. He's the director of emergency management in this city of 80,000 people, nestled into a lush corner of Puerto Rico's eastern coast.
Jose Baez
He's most often on call when weather disasters strike. But since February, when Puerto Rico's governor declared a public health emergency because of the Zika virus, it has been his job to try to reduce the local mosquito population.
He is trying, but this foe is coming at him on all fronts. It's proving to be a challenge more difficult than any storm he has weathered.
The people who own the tire shops, called gombas, are supposed to at least cover the tires so they don't get wet and provide breeding grounds for Zika-spreading mosquitos. But most don't bother. Baez warns them and then slaps them with a fine if they don't comply.
"This one is right around the corner from a gynecologist's office," he says, pointing to one of the worst offenders.
His men are at the business with a truck now to haul off the tires, but the owner of the shop has told him that it isn't a good time. They want him to come back.
"You see, they don't want to do anything," he says, exasperated.
He asks the cops to cite the owner of the tire shop.
Baez knows that pregnant women are at great risk from Zika. Mounting scientific evidence suggests that the virus can cause grave birth defects, damaging a developing baby's brain, eyes, and nervous system. The virus is transmitted primarily through mosquitoes.
Humacao is where the island's first locally transmitted Zika case was found. But when asked if he has known anyone who's gotten sick with Zika yet, Baez shakes his head. "My friends? My neighbors? No," he says. "I hope I never know anyone who has Zika."

Arenas, who struggled in 49 games with the Magic after being acquired from Washington in December 2010, is owed $62 million over the next three years.In his 10-month respite from the NBA floor, the 30-year-old Arenas is starting to become whole again, personally and professionally. He's returned to the court, most recently in a workout for the Lakers in Los Angeles, has shed more than 20 pounds since last season and has stabilized his home life with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his four kids.Arenas spoke candidly with SI.com in a 90-minute interview that touched on everything from the ill-fated gun incident in the Wizards' locker room on Christmas Eve 2009 to the "downward spiral" it caused in recent years to his long road back.SI.com: Where are you at with getting back to work?Arenas: When I got amnestied, I was told by my mentor [Magic general manager Otis Smith] to do a couple things before I decided to get back to the NBA, and that was clear my mind, get my thoughts together and get myself healthy. That's what I've been doing, getting healthy. I didn't like the product I put out last year and the only thing you can do about that is just get it better.SI.com: What goes into clearing your mind?Arenas: Reflecting. You just reflect on your basketball career and see how far you came. I watch a lot of game tape of last year in Washington and finishing up in Orlando. I just realized even going back to training camp it was basically a spiral down. I didn't have it anymore. I didn't have the spirit. I guess somewhere that summer, or somewhere the season before that, I lost the spirit to play, and that's what showed last year. I was depressed.When something drastic happens in our life, one person goes and hides and doesn't want to be seen. That's what I did. [Others] want to stand up and fight and think they're tough. Like if someone gets shot, you're either scared of guns or you think you're Superman. In my situation, I wanted to hide. I didn't want to be seen anymore.SI.com: Does it feel like you can get that spirit back?Arenas: Someone close to me told me I lost myself a long time ago when I invented Agent Zero, and I didn't understand what the person was talking about at the time. He's like, "You were basically on the road down anyway, the image you were putting out meant you were going to get killed at some point." Now it's like, "Yeah, you were right."When I got amnestied, I could've just taken the money and just left, and just basically said, "Hey, you guys did me a favor. I don't want to be crucified anymore." As much as I've done for fans and for people, it sucks the way the world works. You can do a hundred things for people, but you do one bad mistake and everyone crucifies you and that's all they want to remember. They don't want to remember I gave my own money to the [Washington] D.C. school district and built up the D.C. school district. They don't want to remember none of that. They just want to remember, "Oh, I single-handedly destroyed the Washington Wizards franchise." It sucks, but that's the way it is.So I decided I'm not here to prove anybody wrong anymore. I'm just here to prove myself right. I'm not here to chase the money, to chase stats. Now what you have is a basketball player who's ready to play, and that's what people don't understand. Like on Sept. 1, when I shut my Twitter down, this is the first time you're hearing from me, because I let everything go. Who I am is what you don't hear. When you don't hear me, I'm living my life -- quiet, I don't get in trouble, don't drink, don't smoke. But if you ask anybody else, I'm just this -- what would they call me? -- problem child. Somebody who gets in trouble all the time.I don't pay attention anymore. But right now, you have a basketball player. I work out two times a day, every day. I watch tape. I play basketball. If I don't play in the NBA, I'm playing at the YMCA and I'm just as happy.SI.com: What's your setup like now in Orlando?Arenas: It's regular -- regular house with regular people around me. All I want to be is regular.NBA is fantasy. Sports are fantasy. Driving around in all the new cars and jewelry and all of this -- that's fantasy. And if you can't escape, then you lose yourself. If you can't get home, can't escape that world, you lose yourself in it because fans, media -- they can't decipher between the two. They don't realize there's two different people. Like Lady Gaga, that's the image she's giving you guys, but when she's at home, she's a normal person. And when she's in the public eye, that's who she is. When I was in the public eye, I was Agent Zero. When I'm home, and I'm away from everybody, I'm me. And I felt when "me" got attacked with that felony charge, I didn't know how to react with that one.SI.com: What do you mean?Arenas: Like when you get in a trouble -- it's not like I got in trouble in the regular world. I didn't get in trouble in the regular world. I got in trouble in my fantasy world. And when I hear [former players] crucify me, it irritates me sometimes because I used to read stuff on them so it's like, "How do you even have the nerve to say that?" Sometimes I just hate listening to them when they talk about the NBA and the new players and stuff like that, because the funny thing is the older players used to say the same things about them, too, and it goes on and on and on and on.But when you get in trouble at your workplace, the only way someone finds out is if somebody wants you to hear about it -- just like at your home. If I hear something about you at your house, then somebody at your household wants me to hear about it.SI.com: With something that serious, though, wouldn't it always get out?Arenas: At some point everything does get out, right? Players are always talking -- hearsay exists -- but if it gets put out, then somebody wants it to be put out. Prime examples: Cleveland with LeBron [James]. While he was there, no problem with LeBron, right? Soon as he leaves, it's, "Oh, he did this in Game 5" and [so on]. It's because they don't need him anymore. He doesn't do anything for them anymore, so you can go try to paint his name. [And with] Carmelo [Anthony]: Hey, while he's there [in Denver], it's [great]. Then he gets traded, and they talk about him. It's the same thing.SI.com: So what's the conclusion -- that the Wizards were done with you?Arenas: Were they done with me? I can't get into that. I just feel like the NBA is a fantasy. You live in a dream. My felony charge is real-life stuff. But I'm crucified, like I just go out in the streets [causing problems], but no one sees me. No one sees me in public. I'm in my house all the time.SI.com: You get out to the YMCA, though. What's that group like? Anybody there with any past experience?Arenas: I'm playing with players who just love the game of basketball. Past experience? They've played the game of basketball before, yeah [laughs].SI.com: Are these 65- or 70-year-old guys out there or what?Arenas: There's some 45, pushing 50. Other than that, it's 30s, 20s, some teens. It's fun. That's fun basketball.SI.com: Tell me about the platelet-rich therapy you underwent in early January.Arenas: I had the procedure done on my knees and hips in New York because I kept hearing how much better Kobe [Bryant] felt [the Lakers' 33-year-old guard had it done on his right knee last June]. So I did my research into it, called the people in Germany and they told me what the process was and what it targeted -- arthritis, achiness -- and that's what I was dealing with. So I ended up having the procedure.By the second shot, I was feeling 10 times better, so I ended up getting six shots and I actually did both of my knees because basically I was favoring one side of the leg for the last couple of years [because of three knee surgeries]. It was six days, every day. And then I came back a week later and had my hips done.I'm not going to lie, I feel so much better. I'm jumping and moving like before I got injured, like it's basically '06 again. My explosiveness, my jumping ability, my quickness -- it feels like I never got injured. I can see why he's out there doing what he's doing at his age.SI.com: So where did you leave things with the Lakers after your workout?Arenas: That was kind of weird, the situation. I was actually training in New York, and my agent, Dan Fegan, told me to come out and work out for the Lakers. My whole thing is, I don't want to play for anybody until I'm finished rehabbing and finished doing what I need to do, so that's not going to happen until at least All-Star break. So I decided, Well, I'll just go out there and work out.SI.com: Was it just the Lakers or was anyone else watching?Arenas: When you're in there getting buckets, you're not really paying attention to who's there. You're just doing your thing. To me, it didn't matter who it was -- could've been the D-League team or whatever. I'm just showing you what I have. You can either keep reading newspapers articles where they say I'm 40 pounds overweight and I lost a step -- all the fantasy stuff people want to talk about because they're going off my last year where I was basically mentally out of it. Or you can just see for yourself: This is what I am. A 6-foot-3 guard, 6-10 wingspan, still got his quickness, can still jump, still fast. I make shots, and that's what I am. I'm not here to sell anything, but look, here's what I am and then I'm going back home to my family.SI.com: Mostly drill stuff?Arenas: It was just mostly drills, and then creating shots off the dribble, attacking the basket. Some full-court stuff, which I was just straight winded -- whew! [laughs]. But I got up as fast as I can. I figured, Just show your speed. I don't think they really care about your wind right now. It was fun. You feel like a rookie again.SI.com: Did you talk to Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak?Arenas: Yeah, I talked to Mitch. We had a nice conversation. Can't tell you what it was about. But I have a basketball mind. I'm not some complete idiot. I do idiot things, but I'm not a complete idiot.SI.com: You are obviously remembered by a lot of folks for what happened in the Wizards' locker room in 2009. How do you handle that?Arenas: You've got to take the good with the bad. When you do something good, if it gets magnified, you're some Jesus. And then when you do something bad, you become Satan. But two years later, if you're still talking about a mistake I made, then something is really wrong with you. Like when you write an article, if you're going to bring up the gun thing, then bring up that I adopted somebody when his parents died in a fire. Put that in there, too.I guess negative things sell, and we can tell because we've got these reality TV shows where everybody just beats themselves senseless and we just keep tuning in. That's where my iffiness comes back and the reason I stayed away so long, is like, "Do I even want to be a part of that anymore?"I'm happy now. I'm a race-car driver.SI.com: A race-car driver?Arenas: I ride Shifter Karts, Go Karts. There's a place in Orlando -- Orlando Kart Center -- where I ride. I'm all right for a beginner. I went to California and went to this MB2 center [for indoor Kart racing], and out of 200,000 people I already broke down to a 1,000 in just six races, which isn't bad.So I'm doing my thing, got a new profession, having a little fun. You know, this is the first time I've been able to enjoy life. I put so much time into basketball. It's kind of funny now how you read stuff. I remember before I was this gym rat who loved to play basketball, and all of a sudden I was [made out] to be [like] Shawn Kemp.SI.com: You definitely sound like you're enjoying yourself.Arenas: I think I'm seeing life how I saw it before I got famous, and that's hard to do sometimes. It's hard to break yourself back down. I'm loving life. I go fishing with my family. We take the kids to skate parks and skating rinks and golf course places. It's like, "Man, I haven't had this kind of fun in a long time." Basketball just took over my life and it's all I could think about.Even right now, I sit on NBA TV and just watch everything. I watch the games, I watch who's who and who's doing what, who I think is going to be successful because of the style they play.That's who I am, but I get to enjoy it again as a fan. That's why I say that as of right now, if I'm willing to go back into the NBA, then you know that it's just strictly basketball. And you know I'm giving you a product because I'm not on the outside looking in, in the sense that I'm just trying to come back because I need a paycheck. I still have my contract. So if I'm coming back, then that means I have something to offer basketball-wise.SI.com: Are we definitely going to see you again, or is there part of you that's just testing the waters?Arenas: I look at it like this: Everybody has to be on the same page of wanting me. Because it's like everyone wants to say, "Oh, well he's a locker-room cancer." Well, I've been in the NBA for 10 years, and I had one incident in a locker room and now I'm a locker-room cancer? I'd never got in an argument before, never got in a fistfight.But if someone picks me up, I want them to be happy about it. I don't want them to be like, ''Oh, man, he's going to come in here and do this and that." That never works. If you don't want the person there, you shouldn't bring them in.My ex-coach Phil Hubbard [former Wizards assistant] and Eric Musselman [Arenas' former coach with the Warriors] called me to come to the D-League [where they coach the Lakers' affiliate]. I said, "Well, after the All-Star break, once I'm ready to go, sure, I'll come play. I'll come out there and break all the D-Leaguer ankles."It's basketball, man. You've just got to enjoy it.SI.com: You used the word depressed. How down are we talking?Arenas: When I came back [in the 2010-11 season after being suspended for the final 50 games of 2009-10], I just didn't want to be around people. And that's why I grew the beard. I don't need you to see me no more. I'm gone. I don't want to be here.You know how when you think someone is talking about you, and you try to go in with high spirits when you start off, but as soon as one bad thing happens you revert? Once I got to Orlando, I got my spirit back. I was around some people who like me and we're on an eight-game winning streak and then all of a sudden I get my playing time cut and then from there I just lost it. I couldn't think anymore. Every shot, I thought about shooting -- just like [the Magic] players playing now. They're not losing their game -- Jameer Nelson, Jason Richardson, they're not losing their games. They're just going through so much pressure now with the Dwight [Howard trade situation].I tried so hard to fit in and let people know, "Yo, that [Wizards incident] was not me. The things people are saying about me is not me. That's not who I really am." I made a mistake, and I was tying so hard to fit in with everybody that I couldn't play the right way.There was a point where I don't even think I talked to the media the last two months. I just took my showers and just went home. And then when I went home, I basically never left the house. I was just in denial.I remember I was at Dwight's barbecue, and I'm hearing him on the microphone and I'm just watching him and I'm sitting in a corner trying to hide from fans -- it was so sad -- and didn't want to be around people anymore. I'm looking at [Dwight] like, "Man, that used to be me. I used to be the life of the party." And he's just in there enjoying himself, saying, "Everybody, let's dance" and this and this. And that kind of got my spirit back up, like, "What the hell am I over here sulking for, like a little girl?"Then a reporter said, "Look, just bring Agent Zero's spirit back. Get a Twitter, say your funny jokes, get yourself back. Because right now, man, it's not just that you lost your game -- you're mentally gone. Get your mentality back. Get the cockiness back. Get the rudeness back."It all plays a part, so that's when I created my Twitter.SI.com: Doesn't that contradict what you were saying before about getting away from Agent Zero?Arenas: No, just the spirit. Not the person. Just the spirit, the outgoingness of people. The thing is, man, you know I can't sit in groups of people anymore.SI.com: Why?Arenas: I don't know, because I don't know what people are thinking. So instead of just sitting there and feeling awkward, I just go to my room, go into the hotel. Like now, I work out with earphones on. I just realized how bad it was. That's why Otis said, "Yo, get yourself back together. You're like a spark plug. You make people laugh. You make people smile. And if you can't make people smile and laugh, you can't make yourself smile and laugh."SI.com: Is that part of it getting any better for you? That's a rough way to go through your days.Arenas: You know, so much happened so fast, and I never got to think about it. I get injured, I get injured, I get injured ... and then my coach gets fired [Wizards coach Eddie Jordan was fired after the team's 1-10 start in 2008-09], my owner [the late Abe Pollin] died [on Nov. 24, 2009] -- he was my dad away from home -- and then the gun incident and the media and all that stuff. I get back [to the team], I get traded and then me and my girlfriend [Laura Govan], we're going through it, and then she puts me on blast, so it was just so much. My mom [who abandoned him when he was 3 before he was raised by his father, Gilbert Sr.] died during all that, and I didn't even get to reconcile with her to say I forgive her and all that stuff. I had so much in there and I didn't have time to really think about anything.SI.com: It's all heavy stuff. Did you ever talk to a therapist about any of this?Arenas: A therapist? I just watched Dexter and The Sopranos [laughs]. If Tony Soprano goes to the therapist, then I just use that. That's it. I just watch TV, try to keep a good spirit, and that's how I've always been.SI.com: Hadn't you met your mom only once?Arenas: Yeah, because she left me when I was 3. I got to meet her my first year in the NBA, and then I never got to talk to her, sit down with her. I know her whole thing was, "Does he know I'm sorry for [leaving]?" And I didn't get to say, "I forgive you, don't worry about it." You know, I grew up to be a good man. I might have my issues like every other person, but other than that I have a good heart, a good spirit and I didn't get to sit down with her.SI.com: How's your dad doing?Arenas: He's good. He's watching high school basketball [in Los Angeles] and high school football. He likes to see young talent. That's his thing.SI.com: You going to head his way with the Lakers, you think, or will you go somewhere else?Arenas: I remember reading an article saying [the Lakers] was my dream team -- like three teams: Lakers, Miami, New York. And I was like, "Well, I'm flattered, but I've got to get myself right first." I didn't like what I did last year. I watched those games and I didn't have any soul. I didn't play with a purpose. So I took this summer and basically went back into the lab, got my body right, got my weight down, lost 20-something pounds, watched film. Just got the love of the game back. That's never going to leave. I just love the game of basketball.SI.com: Where are you at with your weight?Arenas: I played at 222 [pounds] in my good years, and I'm 208, 210 right now. Last year, last game of the playoffs, I was 232. It was good food, man. I read something that was like, "Well, he was out of shape this year." And I'm like, "Well, technically, I came to you guys at 214, but all that good food and sitting on that bench just gets you fat."SI.com: You talk about being so uncomfortable. But I remember seeing you last year and you were having a good time with the guys in the locker room. Were you just hiding it?Arenas: You know how you put on a mask? And how when you're not around people you get to be yourself? I'm in the locker room, and I get to be myself. People don't realize NBA players are around their teammates more than their family, so you get to be around everybody, joking, telling your stories and you get to have fun. But as soon as the lights came on, I looked at it like, "These are the wolves. I've got to go perform. I've got to try hard so they don't boo me. I've got to try hard so they don't think I'm a bad guy, I've got to make the shot. If I miss the shot, I'm going to get put on the bench."I just didn't know what the hell was going on with me. Mentally, I was just distraught.SI.com: I don't remember you ever talking about that day in the Wizards' locker room. Can you go into it?Arenas: I've never talked about it, and I felt like this: The reason I never talked about it was because if [the media] couldn't do your own research to find out the truth, then why should I do it for you? It was like, "If you don't care, I don't care."OK, I owed my teammate [Javaris Crittenton] money and I pulled a gun on him? OK, does that even make sense, like I owed you money but I'm pulling a gun on you?When somebody writes an article, it can be 10 percent right and 90 percent wrong, but if they write it, it's going to be 100 percent right. And the more you try to explain it, the more you look like you're lying.If I did everything they said I did in that locker room, how come they never tried to void my contract? That's the only way I can explain it. Not even attempted [to void the contract]. Not even talked about attempting it. That's actual facts. I'm not making that up.SI.com: Do people ever just bring it up on the street when you're out and about? How often are you hit with it?Arenas: No. People come up to me and have a conversation with me, especially at the YMCA, where I do spin class in the mornings. You have people who want to talk to you to see what kind of person you are, and then you have people saying, "Oh, you don't seem like what they made you out to be."Before that incident, I was the people's champion, God's gift to all fans, gave fans everything. If I never go back to the NBA, I had a great career. I've hit big shots. I've had my moments. Hey, everyone can't win a championship, but I had fun. I got to play the game that I always dreamed of, and I did it more than I expected it. That's how I look at it now.SI.com: So what's next? Where are you going to play?Arenas: All I know is I've got a Daddy-Son Donut Day on the 24th. You go to the school, and you have donuts. That's what I'm looking forward to.

Apple to adopt ZFS as default file system for LeopardIt may have been a premeditated outburst or a sudden slip-of-the-lip, but either way Sun Microsystems chief executive Jonathan Schwartz is claiming that Apple next week will announce a plan to replace the default Mac OS X file system with the Sun-developed ZFS.
Schwartz made the plans public while speaking to analysts and members of the media at a company event in nation's capital on Wednesday. The event was primarily aimed at hyping a more flexible array of blade servers.
"In fact, this week you'll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developer Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS 10," he said while speaking of his firm's file system (Real Player video link).
Originally conceived by Sun as a foundation for its Solaris operating system, ZFS features high capacity, a novel on-disk structure, lightweight instances, and the integration of the concepts for volume management.
Unlike a traditional file system, which resides on a single device and thus requires a volume manager to use more than one device, ZFS is built on top of virtual storage pools called zpools. A pool is constructed from virtual devices, each of which is either a raw device, a mirror of one or more devices, or a RAID-Z group of two or more devices.
ZFS would replace Apple's current default file system, Journaled HFS+, beginning with October's release of Leopard, according to Schwartz' comments.

Uhm....WIN! Just made one with eggs & sausage as a breakfast sandwich. Amazing! I thought it would be mealy or grainy like whole wheat bread can sometimes be, you know, dense and grainy. Nope! It's fluffy, firm and completely cuts that craving for toast to dip in my eggs! I will try it with a hamburger next. You could do so much with it....low carb stuffing? I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks for posting this, it's a lifesaver when low carbing!
I used vanilla whey protein and canola oil instead of olive oil . The protein powder took away the intense egg flavor it also kept it from having that slimy feel that flax baked goods usually have. I made another batch and left out the baking powder and added maple extract and 2 drops of liquid splenda....so good ! This cooks up just the same without the baking powder. This is a keeper. Thanks so much for posting the recipe.

Product Description
"This is a smart, funny, accessible book that does for typography what Lynne Truss's best-selling Eats, Shoots & Leaves did for punctuation: made it noticeable for people who had no idea they were interested in such things." — New York Times, Janet Maslin
"Garfield takes readers on a rollicking tour of the world of typography." — USA Today
"Garfield's engaging history of letter design will be eye candy...[Just My Type is] stuffed with fascinating bits of information...lively, richly illustrated " — NPR.org/Books We Like
"Whether you're a graphic designer or a layperson with no background in this area, reading what Garfield has to say will change the way you perceive the written word forever. It might even lead you to make more discerning choices the next time you have a desktop publishing project in front of you. The take-away from Garfield's book is simple: Contrary to reports of its premature death, print is very much alive." — Los Angeles Times
"Just My Type, is informative, delightful - and essential reading for word geeks everywhere." — The Seattle Times
"Charming and informative" — The Minneapolis Star Tribune
"You'll find a lot to like in this book....[it] informs as it entertains." — St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Charming." — Tampa Bay Tribune
"Deliriously clever and entertaining." — The Boston Globe
"Packed with lively anecdotes" — The Boston Globe, Word Column
"Well-researched." — The Philadelphia Intelligencer
"Garfield's romping history (with multitype text) is zestfully informative." — Booklist
"Deft and downright fun." — PureWow.com
"A lively, informative survey of 560 years of typefaces and font choices that will probably make you select a font that is much more you." — Shelf Awareness
"Here is a wonderful update for those whose fondness for matters typographical predates the digital age, as well as those whose eyes need awakening to this particular enchantment. Garfield has a light touch and moves effortlessly among various aspects of typography past and present, not only from design perspectives but from accessible social, historical, and legal angles as well. Throughout, Garfield offers "fontbreaks" in which he focuses on the provenance of a particular typeface. An added pleasure: the book's own text switches fonts to briefly reflect the typeface under discussion. "Highly recommended to all, whether or not you feel predisposed to like this kind of thing! Eye-opening and mind-expanding!" — Starred Library Journal
"[A] lively romp through the history of fonts. Garfield's evocative prose entices us to see letters instead of just reading them." — Publishers Weekly
"A thoroughly entertaining, well-informed tour of typefaces...[Just My Type] offers an informed and pleasing answer, and a lively companion to books such as Robert Bringhurst's essential Elements of Typographic Style (1992) and John Lewis's classic Typography: Design and Practice." — Kirkus Reviews
"Whether you're a hardcore typophile or a type-tyro, there's something here for you: be it the eye-opening revelations of Eric Gill's utter and complete perversity, or the creation of the typeface that helped Mr. Obama gain entrance to the White House." — Chip Kidd
"There is even a photograph of a quick brown fox literally jumping over a lazy dog. What a clever, clever book." — Lynne Truss
"Did I love this book? My daughter's middle name is Bodoni. Enough said." — Maira Kalman
"With wit, grace and intelligence, Simon Garfield tells the fascinating stories behind the letters that we encounter every day on our street corners, our bookstore shelves, and our computer screens." -Michael Bierut, Partner, Pentagram Design, New York, and author of Seventy-Nine Short Essays on Design
"Simon Garfield reveals an invisible world behind the printed word... the lives of the designers and the letters they've created have never been more clearly detailed with so much flair." — Jessica Kerwin Jenkins, author of Encyclopedia of the Exquisite

Just My Type by Simon Garfield is a brilliant little book on a topic you would think boring beyond belief. But you would be wrong, for there is a lot to learn about how fonts and type sets affect the way we read and think.
Thousands of fonts are all around us and we are affected by them in an almost subliminal manner. Why do some ads attract us more than others? Why is the masthead of a newspaper written in a gothic style? Why are highway signs printed in lower case letters? And why did IKEA change its font from Futura to Verdana, and endure the fury of some of its customers? All is answered here, with wit and style.
Some fonts have become almost omnipresent, and once it is pointed out by Garfield, we suddenly see them everywhere. Signs in aeroports are likely to be in Frutiger because it is so highly visible. Johnson Sans was created for the London Underground and one only has to read Cockfosters in that font and know that it is a Tube station. Some are highly readable, such as Cochin, or highly legible, such as Helvetica, or look legal and important like Baskerville, or monumental (Trajan), or just beautiful (Garamond). Then there are the overused or ugly fonts, such as Comic Sans and Times New Roman. You will now see roadside signs and think, what on earth were they thinking of?
Just My Type is a wonderful, useful book and a pleasure to read, and not just because it is printed in Sabon.
Fonts came into being with the invention of the printing press in the late 15th century. It is shocking to realise that the printing of books for the masses has only existed for a fraction of man's existence. Books are such an integral of our lives that its amazing to think only 600 years ago books were owned only by the very wealthy or religious orders.
Garfield traces the history of fonts from their earliest days, paying special attention to those which we're most familiar with - Helvetica, Gill Sans, Arial, and Akzidenz Grotesk (a favorite of mine, if only for the name). He writes about the artisans behind the lettering, and most interesting, how certain fonts cause emotional responses in the people who view them. Why were some fonts popular for hundreds of years, only to fall from favor? How do fonts determine what consumers buy and what they don't buy? And how boring our lives would be if everything was printed in the same font.
Garfield has a lively writing style and is never boring. He gives a very good reference section at the back of the book, which is very helpful to those readers who want to know more.
By the way, if you're reading this, then be sure to go over to AmazonUSA read the review by Rob Hardy in this section. His long and interesting review is spot on - he's a reviewer's reviewer - and Rob's are the gold standard of reviews.

Afghanistan is believed to have one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world. As a result of decades of war and civil unrest, Afghan women and children suffer from poor access to health services, harsh living conditions, and insufficient food and micronutrient security. To address the disproportionately high infant and maternal mortality rates in Afghanistan, the US Department of Health and Human Services pledged support to establish a maternal health facility and training center. Rabia Balkhi Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, was selected because this hospital admits approximately 36,000 patients and delivers more than 14,000 babies annually. This article reports the initial observations at Rabia Balkhi Hospital and describes factors that influenced women's access, the quality of care, and the evaluation health care services. This observational investigation examined areas of obstetric, laboratory and pharmacy, and ancillary services. The investigators concluded that profound changes were needed in the hospital's health care delivery system to make the hospital a safe and effective health care facility for Afghan women and children and an appropriate facility in which to establish an Afghan provider training program for updating obstetric skills and knowledge.

Wet, cold weather cut harvest down

THIBODAUX -- Despite freezes and rain in late November and mid-December, Louisianas sugar-cane harvest was looking strong. But then more rain and harder freezes came, and what could have been a stellar year statewide was reduced to only average, according to the Louisiana State University AgCenter.
Growers in Lafourche and Terrebonne may have been far enough south to escape the worst of the cold, however.
"Thanksgiving week, we had a light freeze," said Danny Naquin, who farms about 4,100 acres in Terrebonne Parish. But in December, he had a hard freeze with temperatures in the mid-20s, which "fried the cane," stunting its growth.
Naquin runs one of the 18 sugar-cane farms in Terrebonne, which total about 9,200 acres. Lafourche Parish has 52 farms with about 30,000 acres, according to the AgCenter.
Naquin said he was better off than growers to the north and west, who had a freeze in the low 20s and lost quite a bit of their crop, he said.
"Im gonna save everything," he said, even if his yield isnt quite what he had hoped.
Heavy rains in recent weeks didnt help either.
"It made it almost impossible to get some of the cane out," Naquin said. "The day after Christmas, I didnt even make by daily quota. At least half of the tractors got stuck."
Still, his crop was among the five best hes had in the past 20 years. Naquin said he averaged about 35-and-a-half tons of cane per acre, and about 190 pounds of sugar per ton.
Growers needed a good harvest to make up for a few bad years in a row. For the past five years, the talk among farmers this time of year is about whos quitting the business because theyre tired of losing money. This year, Naquin said he hasnt heard of anyone doing that.
The harvest started in October. Greg Nolan, general manager of the Lafourche Sugars mill in Thibodaux, said his mill finished grinding Thursday. He said it processed about 904,000 tons, a significant improvement from last years 630,000.
On average, the mill got about 190 pounds of sugar per ton of cane, he said. Nolan said the average would have been closer to 220 pounds of sugar per ton without the recent freezes.
Nolan said growers in the Terrebonne-Lafourche area averaged nearly 37 tons per acre, compared to a state average of 27 tons.
Raceland Raw Sugar, the only other mill in the area, will finish grinding Sunday, general manager Dan Duplantis Sr. said.
Statewide, Ben Legendre of the AgCenter said an average ton of cane is producing nearly 200 pounds of recoverable sugar per ton, which is about average compared to the past 15 years but disappointing considering how well the season started out.
Low prices arent helping.
"Prices are under 20 cents per pound to the growers," Legendre said. "This is the lowest price we have seen in some time."
Seven of the states 13 mills are still operating, according to the AgCenter. Most are expected to wrap up by Sunday or Monday, Legendre said.
