WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A Senate bill that would provide tax incentives for businesses to bring offshore jobs back to the United States could help bring 13,000 jobs back to New York state, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said today.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said the bill would end tax deductions for companies that move jobs overseas, and provide a 20 percent tax credit for those companies that bring jobs back to the United States.
In Central New York, 22 companies that sent 1,609 jobs overseas since 2008 would be eligible for the tax incentives, Schumer said.
All told, at least 139 companies that outsourced 13,000 jobs from New York would qualify for the new tax incentives. The number of jobs could be higher, Schumer said, because it is difficult to obtain an accurate accounting of jobs sent overseas.
"Currently our tax policy makes it easier to ship jobs overseas that bring jobs back to the United States," Schumer said in a conference call with reporters today.
"We should be doing everything in our power to encourage job growth at home and discourage companies from shipping good-paying New York jobs abroad," Schumer said.
"Unfortunately, our current tax code includes incentives that make outsourcing a much more attractive option for companies than it should be."
The tax changes are included in the Bring Jobs Home Act, a bill written by U.S. Sen. John Walsh, D-Mont., and co-sponsored by Schumer. The Senate is due to vote on the legislation next week. A similar bill failed to pass in a previous Congress.
The legislation would allow companies to deduct a 20 percent tax credit against their corporate income tax for costs associated with moving to the United States a production line, trade or business located overseas.
Only those companies that increase their full-time U.S. employment from the prior year would be eligible for the tax credit, Schumer said.
At the same time, the Senate bill would eliminate the tax deduction companies take for business expenses associated with outsourcing.

Plus no one is awake for 24 hours. I hear even Bioshock is like 15-20 hours. Lets say you wake up at 7am you would have to play atleast 15 hours straight. Thats 10pm! If a game is 20 hours long you have to play til 3am, etc. etc.
Then there's the obvious impossible games to beat in 24 hours like Oblivion that takes almost 100 hours to beat.

They'd play a game constantly all day, all night, while neglecting their daily needs for survival (food, water, bathroom, sleep). All of the victims found were players of games like World Of Warcraft, and the like.

Emergency back-up power and lighting come in quite handy when the electricity to your home suddenly goes out. Ryobi has both a 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine generator to suite your needs.
To determine the size generator you will need, total the wattage of the maximum number of items you will be running simultaneously. For items with start-up ratings higher than their run ratings, use the higher rating to determine your power requirements. Inductive load appliances and tools such as refrigerators, washers and power tools require additional wattage for starting the equipment. The initial load only lasts a few seconds on start-up, but it is important when calculating your total wattage. For example, running a 100 watt light bulb, 200 watt cooker, 1200 watt refrigerator with start-up of 2900 watts and a 750 watt TV would require 3950 watts.
Never exceed the rated capacity of a generator. Always start the largest electrical appliance first, then plug in other items, one at a time.
Remember to have good ventilation whenever you run a generator as carbon monoxide gas is deadly!

Frozen-Food Heir Scott Devon Has 'Invested Millions' to Start a Fashion Label
"I think we have a good shot."
Scott Devon, whose father founded the frozen garlic bread company Cole's Quality Foods, has spent the past two decades investing millions of dollars in a variety of the most expensive pursuits imaginable. First there was polo (he became a part owner of the Catamount team in 2004), then race cars (his firm's car broke lap records in 2009), and now watches: His company's Thread 1 timepiece features a mysterious treadmill-like belt technology made by an aerospace company and retails for $15,000 (see, he even managed to work in space travel, sort of!). So this month he did what anyone with a couple extra hundred million dollars in the bank would do: throw a huge party with lots of models and socialites to launch a full-scale fashion label named after himself.
The party took place earlier this month. Sam Ronson D.J.'d while Nicky Hilton, Whitney Port, and Nicolette Sheridan trooped into Devon's car showroom turned retail store, a 10,000-square-foot affair called Devon Works in Beverly Hills. Even WWD can't take Devon seriously, noting, "Whether out of brazenness, naïveté, arrogance, stupidity or a combination, Devon leaps into new businesses with going-for-the-gold gusto." The profile continues:
"I've invested millions up to this point," said Devon, who is unsure of precisely when a return will be realized. "I think the watch could even carry the brand this year, so its nice to have one hit, but we haven't even showed the rest. We have major people behind us that know how to build brands and promote brands, so it is not like we have a lack of expertise on our end. So, I think we have a good shot."
Devon has hired a few fashion industry insiders to help him start his brand, most notably Meadow Hochfelder, who has worked with Donna Karan and Rachel Roy. He's also enlisted custom leather-maker Agatha Blois and designer Keith Lissner. Devon admits that not everything he touches turns to gold, but he's not that worried about it.
Back in 1995, he had his mind set on introducing fine gourmet bread to Grand Rapids residents with the Saint-Honoré French Bakery and Tea Room. They weren't exactly storming the doors. "That didn't work financially, but I look at it like we made some of the world's best bread...Not everything you do works financially, but you can be happy creatively."

HENDRICKS - After learning about citizenship in civics class, Lincoln HI eighth-graders put their skills into action in a special project with kindergarten students at Lincoln HI Elementary School Monday in Hendricks.
The project was made possible because of donations from the Hendricks Kiwanis Club.
"I love doing hands-on projects," said Kelly Stewart, Lincoln HI civics teacher. "It's good to have the older kids and younger kids working together. We want the kindergartners to identify that they're special kids."

Lincoln HI kindergartners and eighth-graders worked together in a citizenship project sponsored by the Hendricks Kiwanis Club Monday afternoon. Braxton Johnson, left, Andrew Behnke, Jackson Lacek and Devon Buffington spent time decorating around the kindergartner's clay hand print, making each one unique.
The eighth-graders shared what they had learned about citizenship in their class with their younger schoolmates.
"They gave ideas of ways they can be good citizens and try to make a difference in their communities," said Jessica Jordahl, Lincoln HI kindergarten teacher.
Then the two classes paired up, mostly 1-on-1, to work on making clay hand prints.
"It's wonderful," Jordahl said. "Anytime we can have the kindergartners work with older kids, it's great. They look up to the older kids. The kids are always super excited to work with them."
Kindergartners Braxton Johnson and Jackson Lacek worked with eighth-graders Andrew Behnke and Devon Buffington.
"I liked doing the hand print best," Lacek said. "It was fun."
It was no easy task, though, as the clay had to be handled, rolled out and then pressed into a plastic frame. Some groups had to throw their kit away and start over, as the clay was either too wet or too dry.
"The hardest part was squishing it down," kindergartner Liberty Wendinger said. "But I liked doing all of it."
Wendinger added a number of orange and red beads to her masterpiece.
"It turned out good," she said.
Wendinger's partner, Miranda Lasnetski, said the experience went well.
"It was nice working with the little kids," Lasnetski said. "We learned that citizenship is about helping in our community."
Eighth-grader Austin Benz also said he enjoyed working with his new friend, Isaac Guza.
"It was pretty fun," Benz said.
Guza used a variety different-shaped beads to decorate around his hand print.
"My favorite part was putting my name on it," Guza said.
Jordahl plans to allow her students time to paint their hand prints today.
"We have to let them dry first," Jordahl said. "But then we'll paint them so they have more color."
The civics students also designed four posters for the kindergarten room, wishing them a wonderful summer and other considerate gestures.
"They're good role models for the younger kids," Jordahl said.
Stewart said she felt really good about the positive experience that the students had, especially in light of the recently-stoked bickering between the two schools.
"There's been so much turmoil between the two school districts that's it's nice to see the kids come together," Stewart said. "Everyone could learn a lot about being a good citizen from these kids."

Some good git stuff…
Today I found myself needing to move some commits between two repositories. In general the best way to do this is by pulling changes from one into the other, but in this case the repositories did not have direct access to each other. Rather than copying an entire repository from one machine to another or mucking about with a pile of patches, we can save time by performing the sending and receiving sides of the network-enabled
git fetch command by hand.
In the source repository, add the changes we want to move to a bundle that we can copy to a USB stick:
In the destination repository, ensure that we have the commits necessary to use the bundle and then tell
git fetch to grab the changes from it:

Two companies share a common goal to provide their customers with
great quality and great value.
MINNEAPOLIS — March 2, 2010 — Minneapolis based Malt-O-Meal Company, the nation's largest family owned cereal company, has been invited by Southwest Airlines, the well known low-fare carrier, to help celebrate its first year of service to the Twin Cities.
Malt-O-Meal will hand out samples of its most popular ready-to-eat cereal brands to Southwest Airlines customers at the celebration, to be held Thursday, March 4, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Humphrey Terminal.
Southwest began flying into Minneapolis/St. Paul's Humphrey Terminal on March 8, 2009, and currently offers 13 non-stop flights to Chicago (Midway), Denver and St. Louis with direct or connecting service to 59 cities.
"Southwest Airlines is thrilled to partner with Malt-O-Meal to help celebrate our one-year anniversary serving Minneapolis/St. Paul," said Southwest Spokesperson Chris Mainz. "We LUV to do fun things for our Customers, and we're grateful that Malt-O-Meal is joining in the festivities by giving away free samples to our Customers."
"As a Minnesota born and bred company, we're very happy to congratulate Southwest Airlines and to celebrate their one-year anniversary serving the Twin Cities," said Linda Fisher, Malt-O-Meal's Manager of Consumer Promotion. "Southwest has earned a reputation for providing travelers with a terrific experience at a great price. They've proven that the more expensive alternatives are not necessarily better, and that's what Malt-O-Meal proves every day in cereal aisles across the country".

For many of us, Netscape represents a real turning point in Internet history. It fired up a massive shift of the Internet's move into the mainstream, but much like other iconic products that symbolized major technological shifts -- think maybe the Commodore 64, Sony's Betamax, or Pong -- Netscape is part of the past, and its fate is now sealed.
Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX ) AOL has decided to, in effect, kill the Netscape browser by ending its support of the product. AOL purchased Netscape after its heyday -- and its epic battle with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) -- was over. AOL's decision is hardly surprising, given its shift to advertising-driven business, as exemplified by the relocation of its headquarters to New York and the subsequent job cuts.
Sad as this news is, it's not the end of the World Wide Web as we know it. Microsoft's Internet Explorer may have the lion's share of the browser market, but there are still plenty of options. Mozilla's Firefox, an open-source browser that's actually based on Netscape, has been hounding Microsoft for years now and currently holds a 16% market share. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) has its own browser: Safari. And, of course, there's Opera, which recently triggered a major deja vu of the Netscape-vs.-IE days, when it filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in Europe.
Netscape has less than 1% of the browser market, so it seems obvious that despite the brand's legendary history, we haven't found a reason to actually use Netscape for a long time.
Of course, maybe having Netscape left to AOL's tender mercies was always questionable. AOL was yet another iconic brand in the Web's early days, but it failed to evolve along with increasingly sophisticated Internet users. That reality makes it all the easier to be skeptical about the company's newest plans. Perhaps Netscape's fate should give AOL a shudder about its own mortality, although there is the argument that its ability to focus on its new strategy is essential right now, and Netscape isn't part of that vision.
At any rate, Netscape is gone, but not forgotten, and its tale offers many lessons for investors. Hot IPOs such as Netscape's may make money in the short term, and even make history over the long haul, but the mighty innovators can stumble. Sustainable competitive advantage is key for companies that want to do more than get into history books, and investors must tread carefully.

Jose Calderon has finally been cleared to join the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons announced this afternoon that Calderon's visa issues have been resolved and he's expected to be in uniform tonight when the Pistons visit the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Calderon will almost certainly be in the starting lineup since coach Lawrence Frank said he would start immediately when he was eligible to join the Pistons.
The Pistons acquired Calderon last week in a three-team trade that sent Tayshuan Prince and Austin Daye to Memphis while bringing Calderon to Detroit from Toronto.
But Calderon's debut was delayed because he didn't have a visa to work in the United States.

Last Sunday, The Patriot-News staff made their Penn State football predictions for the 2011 season. Now it's time for the 50-Yard Lion blog writers to look into their crystal ball and tell you what they see in the Nittany Lions' future.In this entry, Tom Knauer wonders what the Lions airs legitimate concerns and wonders what the Lions did to anger the Big Ten schedule makers:
I'll provide a more 'middle of the road' viewpoint, which is my honest opinion if that's what you're looking for. For the primary reason that we are facing our toughest schedule in possibly decades, this team will find it difficult to have a 10 or 11 win season. There are no fewer than 7 teams who could beat us, and it would be well within reason. Our final 5 games on the schedule are brutal.
For some reason, people are overlooking Northwestern and Illinois, one team who crushed us and another who should have before a wild swing of momentum last season. Both teams also possess a weapon which exposes our greatest defensive deficiencies...a dual threat QB. Persa and Scheelhaase combined for 170 yds rushing and completed over 70% of their passes against us in 2010. We also only mustered 155 yds of total offense against Illinois if you subtract the one long TD pass to Moye.
Everyone can focus on our big 4 games, but this team also needs to show drastic improvement against teams like Iowa, Illinois, NW, and even Temple before we can deem them worthy of 11-win aspirations.
Alabama will be an entertaining spectacle, but week 6's matchup with Iowa will probably provide our best barometer for the season. Our schedule is back loaded, which will grant some time for the sordid OL and QB situations to straighten out.
But also, it means that we MUST NOT sleepwalk through the first 5-6 weeks of the season like we did in 2010. There is every reason to believe that we should arrive in Evanston 6-1 in mid Oct.
This season will ultimately hinge on 2 things in my opinion:
1. Will we find solutions to our 3 largest question marks (QB, interior OL, pass rush) in the first 7 weeks of the season?
2. Will the team be properly positioned, mentally and physically, to navigate the final 5 games of the season?
As always, I think the answer lies between yes and no. I do think we find a solution at QB but troubles with the interior OL and lack of pass rush will linger throughout the season. I do believe that we will be 6-1 heading to Evanston, but even optimistically, I don't see us winning more than 2 of the final 5 games.
So...I'll give 8-4 as my prediction.
I don't see much upward potential in that total...9 being the highest. But if we suffer 1-2 crucial injuries and/or have similar execution issues to 2010, this schedule could easily render us a 6-6 team.
I just don't think people are giving the schedule enough respect. Everyone thought we'd go 9-3 last year, while they casually ignored future drubbings from Illinois and MSU (ignore final score, they pounded us).
We have a lot of talent on the wings, but do we have the grit on our lines or leadership in the offensive huddle to be title contenders? I say no, not yet. That said, we should be a much more competitive team, one which got a little unlucky with the scheduling gods.

MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Leonard Johnson Clark Jr. of Montclair, N.J. and Woodstock passed away peacefully on March 27. He was predeceased, six months prior, by his loving wife, Lee Potter Clark. Clark was truly a renaissance man; football quarterback, Dartmouth grad, Navy pilot, business executive, alpine skier, avid fly fisherman, talented artist and most importantly, a loving, caring and kind person.
Clark was born in Brooklyn and his early years attended Verona High School where he was class president and captain of the football, basketball and track teams. Like his father and much of his family, Clark joined a Dartmouth College legacy where he played football, worked on campus publications and was president of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He graduated in 1956 and shortly after married Lee Potter, his love since seventh grade. As member of ROTC, Clark went onto Navy flight school in Pensacola, where he flew jets and eventually became a flight instructor. Daughter Shelley was born on the base. From there, they moved west so Clark could spend time at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. honing his artistic skills. They returned to their families in Montclair and Verona and became active members of the community volunteering with the Montclair Red Cross and coaching his son, Scott, in junior football. The couple enjoyed an active social life as members of Bradford Bath and Tennis and Montclair Golf Clubs. Clark's accomplished business career began at J. Walter Thompson Advertising Agency as an ad executive and eventually transitioned into a successful executive recruiter, earning managing partner roles at both Ward Howell International and Boyden Associates.
Throughout Clark's life, he pursued his interest in painting oils and watercolors, showing his works in galleries in New Jersey, Vermont and Montana as well as being publishing in Fortune Magazine. Clark and his wife's interests in travel brought them to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Indonesia. Since the 1960s, they maintained a residence in Woodstock, where they spent much of their free time enjoying the outdoors, painting, hiking, fly fishing and skiing.
Clark will always be remembered for his passion for life and his love of family and friends. He was truly a gentleman's gentleman.
Clark is survived by his daughter Shelley Clark Ott, son, Scott Johnson Clark, sister, Ginger Clark Keare, son-in-law Robert Ott, granddaughters , Courtney and Lauren Ott, brother-in-law, Bruce G Potter and Scott's fiancee, Kimberly Scary.
A celebration of life ceremony, "It's a Wonderful Life," was held in November at the Montclair Golf Club for Lee and Len, honoring both. Private family ceremonies will be held in Vermont and California. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Alzheimer's Association of NJ at 400 Morris Ave. Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834. Condolences may be left at www.LenClarkArtist.com under "Contact" and "Visit Guestbook."

In our opinion: Is the Bremerton City Council chicken?
This isn't meant as a taunt, one of those childish, playground insults meant to ruffle feathers.
But it's hard to imagine the reasons for the Council's resistance to a proposal to allow residents to keep four hens on their property.
Residents of Seattle and Bellevue have this right. And it should be noted some Bremertonians already keep chickens in their backyards, and take the risk of getting a ticket.
In the latest saga of the crusade to bring home-raised eggs and wings to Bremerton, council members are drumming up some strange answers for why they are standing in the way of a modest request.
Councilman Cecil McConnell said: "It shouldn't be up to Council members whether people will have chickens next door."
It shouldn't be up to the Council to spend money on "art," but they do it anyway.
Council President Nick Wofford said: "It's not that we're against it, it's that we've all had some concerns and as presented, it wasn't acceptable."
It seems Wofford would likely support a measure to allow residents to keep chickens, just as long as it doesn't involve allowing residents to keep chickens.
If only there was some position on the Council, some seat of power, of leadership, a "chairman" if you will, who could propose an alternative.
In any case, Bremerton remains behind the times.

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio -- It was a busy and wet week in Brecksville, Broadview Heights, North Royalton and Strongsville:
It turns out that Jennings Center for Older Adults -- which has a nursing home, assisted living center and senior apartments in Garfield Heights -- wants to expand into Brecksville. The city's Planning commission recently recommended approval of a rezoning that would allow construction of a three-story, 74-unit assisted living community on Brecksville Road just north of Mill Road. Jennings would run the facility.
The developer is Peter McCabe, whose Lake James Ltd. owns the land. He said it has not been determined yet whether Jennings would own the site or just operate it. First, though, voters would have to OK the plan, if City Council agrees to place the rezoning on the ballot.
Broadview Heights voters may have their own ballot issue in November -- a police levy replacement. It would mean a property-tax increase of about 575-percent -- from $3.63 to about $24.50 a year -- for the owner of a $100,000 home.
Finance Director Molly Regan said the existing .7-mill police levy, set to expire at the end of 2014, collects only about $87,000 a year – the same amount it generated when voters first approved it in the 1960s. Today, that's barely enough to pay for the salary of one the Police Department's 30 officers, she said.
Regan said the city needs new sources of revenue due to cuts in Ohio's local-government fund, which provides money to municipalities. Council may discuss the proposed levy replacement Monday.
Also on Broadview Heights council's agenda was a proposed land lease with Cuyahoga County. The city would lease about five acres to the county for $1 a year so the county can build a regional emergency operations center. In exchange, the county would provide the city free dispatch service. Both Broadview Heights and Cuyahoga County councils would have to approve the deal.
Last but not least . . . fast-falling rain tore up roads, flooded basements and left a muddy mess Monday night in North Royalton, Strongsville, Brecksville and Broadview Heights. North Royalton Mayor Robert Stefanik said that on Tuesday morning, the county's Office of Emergency Management toured the hardest-hit parts his city. Both Stefanik and Strongsville Mayor Thomas Perciak said cleanup efforts would continue through the weekend.
And that's just what we had time to cover. This week, more surprises are coming.

GLOUCESTER — The Pitman High School baseball team has held its opponent to four or less runs in five of seven games this season.
It wasn't any different on Wednesday as the Panthers defeated Gloucester, 6-2, in a Tri-County Classic Division game.
Senior pitcher Matt Ennis was a big reason for that, striking out nine in a complete game outing. He only gave up six hits and had two earned runs while walking two.
Ennis gave up two first-inning runs but settled into a groove and never looked back.
"After the first inning I just relaxed and calmed down," said Ennis. "I just pitched my game and trusted my defense. After I calmed down, the (strike) zone seemed a lot easier to find so it was all cheese."
After giving up those two first-inning runs, the Panthers settled down and put one on the board in the third and the fourth. They took the lead in the fifth with a pair of runs.
Senior first baseman Clay Enzman got a base hit with one out to start the frame. Then with two outs, sophomore rightfielder Jay Amwake singled to knock in Enzman, making the score 3-2, and took third on the throw to home. Junior David Collingsworth added the second run of the inning by knocking in Amwake with a single.
With the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, Collingsworth hit a hard line-drive right back to pitcher Bobby Girgenti, who tossed to third to get the force. Then with two outs, senior left fielder Ryan Schmidt hit a shot to the fence, scoring two. He was thrown out at third trying to stretch a triple.
"After I struck out the first time, coach (Gene Reid) told me to stand back," said Schmidt. "Then I hit the ball the other way and brought in those two runs. It was cool to see the bottom part of the batting order get some big hits."
Gloucester head coach Greg Galbraith liked the way the team played in the beginning of the game but wants his players to know that they can't stop playing.
"Our kids had great at-bats," said Galbraith. "Matt Ennis is a great pitcher, so my players knew that they had to work the count against him. We wanted to work the count, hit his mistakes, put runners in scoring position and put some pressure of them. That is what my players did.
"Unfortunately for us, he adjusted to it. We are a learning team. We have to keep pushing. We can't expect the other team to give up being down two runs, especially against a good team like Pitman.
"Their two-out hits are what killed us. Five of their six runs came on two out hits. That's what wins baseball games. They hit balls hard with two strikes and two outs. They came up in the clutch."
Pitman head coach Gene Reid was happy with Ennis' performance and hopes that the wins will keep up for them when they host the Joe Lang Tournament this weekend.
"It will be a big lift for us this weekend," said Reid. "Everytime we come to Gloucester it's a tough game. Today was the same way. They make plays and keep the game close. Matt's nine strike outs helped because that's less balls you have to field.
"He's our guy. They other players love when he pitches. They know he is going to keep the batters off balanced so it's always a big lift for us."

It is safe to say that aspartame is not 100% natural. What happens inside the body in the presence of aspartame is questionable and of significant risk, especially over long term use.
"In food, phenylalanine and aspartic acid are bound to other amino acids in long, complex chains of proteins so that they are not absorbed in a way that could cause damage.
But in aspartame they are not, and enzymes in the gut can easily split them apart.
Once phenylalanine is released in its free form, it is metabolized into diketopiperazine, a carcinogen. Aspartic acid in its free form becomes an excitotoxin, a toxic molecule that stimulates nerve cells to the point of damage or death.
The third component of aspartame, methyl ester, is the most harmful. It is metabolised by the body into methanol, a well-known poison.
In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency defines safe consumption of methanol as no more than 7.8mg a day.
Anyone drinking three cans of a drink sweetened with aspartame a day is consuming about 56mg of methanol."
ASPARTAME Is Manufactured By Monsanto Using Genetically Modified Bacteria « Genetically Modified Foods, The Silent Killer

"If you send a damned fool to St. Louis, and you don't tell them he's a damned fool, they'll never find out." - Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi (1883)
Friday, August 8, 2014: New Orleans Saints at St. Louis Rams, 7:00 pm (CST) at the Edward Jones Dome
1. History of the city and team:
St. Louis was founded as a French trading post in 1764. Lewis and Clark set out from here in 1804 to explore the Louisiana Territory. It was dubbed the "Gateway to the West" as it was the starting point for settlers during the westward expansion. St. Louis hosted both the Summer Olympics and World's Fair in 1904. It is a great place to visit because, as the saying goes, Missouri loves company.
The St. Louis Rams began play in 1936 in Cleveland, and then moved to Los Angeles in 1946 to avoid competing with the Browns. They remained in L.A. for almost 50 years before relocating to St. Louis for the 1995 season.
The Saints last traveled to St. Louis on December 15th, 2013 where they suffered a 27-16 loss as Drew Brees threw two interceptions and was sacked four times.
2. Getting there:
St. Louis is served by Lambert-St. Louis International Airport located 10 miles northwest of downtown St. Louis. Direct flights from New Orleans are available on several airlines, including Delta, AirTran, Frontier, United and Southwest.
Taxis: Cab service to and from the airport to downtown is not charged at a flat rate and runs about $30. There is a $3 airport fee tacked on.
Public transportation: MetroLink, the city's light rail system, serves the airport via the Red Line which will take you into the city for $2.25. Pick-up is at Terminal 1: Exit Door 1 (upper level) east of the American Airlines Credit Union or on the south side of Terminal 2 through the parking garage.
Hotel & Motel courtesy shuttles can be accessed from door 18 (lower level) of Terminal 1 or through door 12 (lower level) of Terminal 2.
3. What to see and do in St. Louis:
The Gateway Arch (100 Washington Ave) - The iconic 630-foot stainless steel monument to westward expansion opened on the same week I was born in 1965 (only it has held up better). You can ride up to the top of the arch from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. (last tram @ 5) for $10, $5 for kids. The Museum of Westward Expansion at the base of the arch is free.
Delmar Loop (University City district) - Listed as "One of 10 Great Streets in America", this six-block entertainment and shopping district was named for a streetcar turnaround. Among the 140 businesses are an array of restaurants, comic book and vintage clothing stores, the Tivoli Theater, and the St. Louis Walk of Fame, modeled after the one in Hollywood, that honors famous locals.
4: For the Wee Dats:
St. Louis Zoo (One Government Drive) Over 19,000 animals call this popular zoo home. In the summer months, the Caribbean Cove is open, boasting a 17,000 gallon touch pool where kids can interact with stingrays, bamboo sharks, and horseshoe crabs. Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and until 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Admission to the zoo is free, but there are fees for particular exhibits, like the Sea Lion Show and Caribbean Cove ($4 each).
City Museum (701 N 15th St) - This popular museum in the Washington Avenue Loft District describes itself as an "eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects." Opened in 1997 in a former shoe factory, the 600,000-square-foot space features a creature-filled maze of tunnels called the Enchanted Caves, and MonstroCity, an interactive sculpture garden and playground where kids (and adults) can climb over recovered and re-purposed "architectural castoffs and post-apocalyptic chaos".
The Magic House (516 S Kirkwood Road)- This not-for-profit children's museum housed in a Victorian mansion is one of the city's top attractions. Kids can play Jack & the Beanstalk, explore like Lewis & Clark, hang in the Bubble Room, or engage in dozens of other hands-on activities in the 55,000-square-foot space.
5. Where to eat & drink:
Bogart's Smokehouse (1627 S. 9th St.) - If you crave St. Louis barbeque and ribs, this lunchtime eatery is extremely popular. Try the Old Joe Platter, with a full rack of ribs, three sandwiches and four sides. Open Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m.
The Fountain on Locust (3037 Locust St) - If you are looking for late-night fare, this kicky art-deco eatery boasts being voted "Best Ice Cream Parlor," "Most Artistic Interior," "Best Neighborhood Restaurant" and "Best Restrooms." You can listen to a comedy show on the radio in the booths on the west side. Open until midnight Friday and Saturday.
6. Game Day:
The Edward Jones Dome (originally the Trans World Dome) is at 901 N. Broadway in downtown St. Louis. The 66,000-seat venue opened in 1995 to lure an NFL franchise back to the city after the Cardinals bolted for Arizona in 1988.
To get to the game by public transit, the blue and the red lines of the MetroLink rail system, as well as the No. 99 city bus, will take you to the Convention Center stop, two blocks south of the stadium.
Parking: There are 30,000 parking spaces available within a 10-minute walk of the stadium, according to the Rams. Web prices for private lots range from $8-$30 on game day depending on walking distance.
Gates open 90 minutes before the game.
7. From former Times-Picayune and current St. Louis Post-Dispatch sportswriter Derrick Goold:
"Look, it's not in New Orleans' league (what is?) but the food scene is thriving. Two St. Louis chefs were semifinalists for the James Beard Foundation Awards this past year: Gerard Craft (of Niche) and Kevin Nashan (of Sidney Street Cafe). Sidney Street Cafe is the best place for a fine dinner in the city, and requires you go on a tour through some of the city's neighborhoods.
Want lunch? Blues City Deli has live music because the sandwiches are so good that the line is so long and entertainment helps pass the time. Want landmark? Blueberry Hill on The Loop. Want Cajun? Broadway Oyster Bar. Donuts? Strange Donuts (Gooey Butter Donut, yes!). Italian? Hit The Hill, and before noshing be sure to drive down Elizabeth Street, where Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola grew up.
And then, if you're of age, check St. Louis raging craft beer scene with Urban Chestnut Brewing Company, Schlafly, 4 Hands, Perennial, and Six Row Brewing. You won't have to hunt for them because so many local restaurants have embraced the local brews beyond Bud Light and helped fuel the craft beer culture."Extra point: What to read or watch to put yourself in a state of Missouri.
Movies: "White Palace," "Meet Me in St. Louis," "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
Books: Elmore Leonard's "Killshot", Larry McMurty's "Pretty Boy Floyd", Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

MUSKEGON, MI – Here's a look at some routine and special projects planned by local municipalities, the Muskegon County Road Commission and the Michigan Department of Transportation for the week of June 23-27.
During the week, the agencies have planned work that could affect drivers' commutes, including old and new projects.
The following proposed work schedules are subject to change because of weather conditions and other unexpected circumstances:
Weekly Muskegon County & Ongoing MDOT and Road Commission Projects
All grassy areas in Holton Township, along with U.S. 31/I-96/Seaway Drive in Norton Shores and Muskegon and Fruitport townships, will be mowed.
Lamos Road from Post Road to Old Channel Trail in Montague and White River Township will undergo crack pouring maintenance.
Lane closures from the Muskegon area to Tri-Cities community in north Ottawa County will be effect on U.S. 31 for a paving project starting on Tuesday, June 24. The first set of closures will be in place on northbound and southbound lanes from Jackson Street to Taft Road from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Later, the whole span of U.S. 31 from Ottawa County to Muskegon County will have lane closures. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction for both phases. Road officials expect the project to be completed by Thursday, July 3.
Cedar Creek Township
Maple Island Road from Sweeter Road to Crocker Road will undergo crack pouring maintenance.
Fruitland Township
Scenic Drive from River to Murray Road will undergo Dura Patching maintenance.
Fruitport Township
Road workers have plans to replace a culvert along Cooley Road north of Sternberg Road.
Work crews are installing a public water main along Broadway Avenue and Brooks Road from DeVowe Road (Pvt.) to Ellis Road. The streets may be closed to thru traffic and detoured except Broadway Avenue west of Mill Iron. The project is expected to be complete by Nov. 15.
There will be a detour on Pontaluna Road between Airline and Walker roads for all thru traffic for a sanitary sewer installation that was scheduled to begin last week on June 16. Only local residential traffic will be allowed in the work zone. The project is expected to last for about six weeks.
Laketon Township
Memorial Drive from Weber Road to Scenic Drive will undergo Dura Patching maintenance.
City of Muskegon
The rehabilitation on the Broadway Avenue bridge over Seaway Drive between Henry Street and Glade Street will continue through mid-July, according to MDOT construction engineer Gregg Zack. Motorists should continue to encounter ongoing intermittent single-lane and shoulder closures along the roadway.
The suggested detour route for Broadway Avenue is Temple Street, Summit Avenue and Henry Street.
Beach Street from the Muskegon Water Filtration Plant just south of Lakeshore Drive to Sherman Boulevard remains under construction for work related to Norton Shores and Fruitport Charter Township's West Michigan Regional Water Authority project. The pathway, which moves along Lake Michigan, is expected to be completed by early July.
Laketon Avenue from Park Avenue to Peck Street remains under construction. City Public Works Director Mohammed Al-Shatel said the work should be completed by the end of June.
Muskegon Township
Giles Road from Whitehall Road to M-120/Holton Road is closed to thru traffic for a road improvement project. The project is expected to be completed by July 28. Motorists are advised to follow the posted detour.
Norton Shores
Two-way traffic on Getty Street continues. The roadway is currently under construction between Overbrook Drive and Broadway Avenue for the Phase II portion of a reconstruction project. Norton Shores engineer Jim Murphy said the work should be completed by late June.
Grand Haven Road between Pontaluna and Wilson roads remains under construction. The suggested detour is Pontaluna Road, U.S. 31 and Van Wagoner Road. Murphy said the first phase of the project should be completed by the end of June.
White River Township
Work crews will replace cross tile on Old 99 from Ramthun Road to Fruitvale Road.

Gondoland, Thanks for the suggestion I have downloaded and installed and did a quciky preliminary test with some test tones and sweeps and it appears this has resovled my clicking issue!
I have an issue with my EMU 0404 soundcard as well the ASIO performance was very poor i.e. very high latency and WDM playback had clicking issues. I sure hope this has resolved that issue too.
I have a full day of listening ahead of me, I will post results up tomorrow.
03-16-2009 09:41 PM - edited 03-16-2009 09:46 PM
Happy I could help Gondoland . When the problem was initially discovered the only way I knew to solve it was to rollback the driver. I sure am happy there is an update I can direct users to. This is one of the strangest conflicts I have ever run into
I wonder if is connected to the specific version on lenovo's site....hmmm
188.8.131.524 -> most recent version listed on Lenovo's site
220.127.116.119 -> most recent version listed on Intel's site
Ok that has solved alot of issues with my system! yay
Updating Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller to version 126.96.36.1999 solved:
* Audio popping and clicking when using internal soundcard
* Bluetooth mouse freezing and stalling
* My EMU 0404 USB soundcard now works! before it only worked with ASIO latency of >300ms which is not useable now it is operational at 5ms.
I would suggest to everyone to update (Lenovo sort you self and get a release on the website asap)
The driver before this update must have been so inefficent and stalling the system for large periods of time.
I suspect that lots of little issues are going to be resovled through installing this update.
03-19-2009 02:19 AM - edited 03-19-2009 02:22 AM
Hi Jordan:
Thanks very much for reporting back to all of us that updating that Intel driver solved your problems.
Several of us have been having problems with the mouse (the cursor) freezing up - this is documented in detail at this discussion thread: Temporary but DAILY mouse / system freezing (W500 w/ Vista Business 32) , and I am now going to investigate whether or not installing this new driver that you discovered will solve the mouse problem.
Special thanks also to Gondoland for his suggestion about this driver on the previous page of this discussion.
I've just run into this problem. I'd like to try this solution, but I'm wondering, how do I update my Intel H9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller to version 22.214.171.1249? I don't want to damage anything in the process
It is already released by Lenovo now.
32-bit http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen
64-bit http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen
Excellent! I've managed to install it. That was easier than I thought!
So far no sign of the issue, but I'll let everyone know if it does return.
hrmmm.... I already had the update installed and I've still got the problem. Since I already had the latest Lenovo driver, I even got a more recent version of the Intel Storage Matrix Driver (220.127.116.113) and this didn't fix it Music is barely worth listening too with this issue!
Unless anyone has any ideas I guess I'm going to have to wait until I have time to do a clean install of Windows 7
Fresh install didn't work for me
I've given up using my laptop as a music source for now as I cannot stand the crackly sound!

Even as a senior in college, I still get a bit excited about the first day of school. New classes. New experiences. New people. As always, I like taking a natural approach to makeup so this look was pretty simple. I started off by filling in my brows using my Wet n Wild color icon pencil in mink brown and concealed them using my Sheer Cover duo concealer. Next, I highlighted my under eye area a bit using my Revlon Photoready concealer in deep and set it using my Milani illuminating face powder in Hermosa rose. I then used my Elf cream liner in black for a little winged liner action. I topped off my lashes with a few coats of Maybelline`s Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara. I finished the look by sweeping a bit of my La Femme coral blush on my cheeks and a swipe of nude gloss
Images are mine!!

Rebel Wilson, the second funniest woman on the planet – first is Kristen Wiig – broke into the industry as the scary, tattooed roommate of Wiig's character in the critically lauded Bridesmaids. The world sat upright and asked, "Who is this blonde girl with the funny accent and the septic tattoo?" Soon after, Wilson became a household name. She starred as a vapid assistant in the 2012 dramedy, What To Expect When You're Expecting, and she recently made a turn in the singing spin-off Pitch Perfect alongside Ana Kendrick and Brittany Snow.
Now, according to latest reports, the hysterical Wilson will host the 2013 MTV Movie Awards – a fitting show for her droll humor and talent. The network officially stated, "[Wilson] will redefine the MTV Movie Awards with her top secret plans." It sounds like an absolute must-watch! The show will air live from the Sony Pictures Studios Lot in Culver City, California on the 14th of April, 2013, and will feature the film stars and movies made popular by you, the audience. Expect the usual off-beat humor from a smattering of stars, including the Twilight cast and The Hunger Games cast.
Fortunately, although the MTV Movie Awards are not as critically recognized as the Academy Awards, it is still a massive opportunity for film studios and marketing people to tout their films for a blockbuster audience. Seeing that the MTV Movie Awards consist of mostly a young demographic, it's the perfect platform for film studious to make their films widely known.
Rebel Wilson is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions in the award show's history!

Hibbing, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Todd Versich has been hired as the new head boys' hockey coach for the Hibbing-Chisholm Bluejackets, Hibbing athletics director Tim Scott confirmed to NNCNOW.com on Friday afternoon.
Versich, a social studies teacher at Hibbing High School, takes over the position from 19-year veteran Mark DeCenzo, who announced his retirement following the 2012-13 season.
Hibbing-Chisholm went (14-13) this past season and was eliminated in the semifinals of the Section 7A tournament.

If we are serious about making human lust and stupidity a felony, additional laws are needed.
Michigan legislators who have sex with underlings, whether a long-term affair or a brief liaison in a broom closet, should be sent to prison.
And let's lock up college professors who sleep with coeds, pastors who seduce parishioners, and bosses who bed employees.
Let them rot.
Sorry, I didn't mean that. Cheap sarcasm is a knee-jerk reaction when I am mystified.
To me, it's a mystery why people who complain about big government (translation: Republicans) so often wish to make unseemly behavior a police matter.
Our freshest example is the Michigan legislation nicknamed the "Hot for Teacher Law."
The bill, approved by a Senate committee, would make it a 15-year felony if school employees have consensual sex with students who are legal adults.
Two theories sprang to mind to explain origins of this bill.
It could be fodder for campaign ads attacking anyone who votes against it. The script is easy to imagine.
"We need a senator who stands up against perverts who prey on schoolgirls. But Sen. (fill in name) supports teachers who deflower cheerleaders."
Or the bill could be a reaction to one case somewhere. This theory is apparently correct.
Some people in Ionia were outraged to learn no law was broken in December when a male teacher had motel sex with a student one day after she turned 18.
No decent person approves of teachers having sex with students under any circumstances. The Ionia teacher resigned and hopefully will be blackballed.
Career-ending disgrace is just. But not every disgraceful act should mean prison.
Supporters say the proposed law would "close a loophole" for teachers and 18-year-olds. Some "loophole."
Eighteen-year-olds are legal adults who can marry their teachers if they wish. Americans believe government has no business telling consenting adults who they can sleep with.
Sponsors of the bill say an exception is needed because a teacher's authority makes it impossible for students to give consent.
Most of us have known of couplings involving pastors, professors and bosses who wield authority over their lovers. Even powerful politicians are caught with their pants down.
If this is the road we want, we'll need more prisons.

In the 2012 NJSIAA Boys Soccer Tournament, that section is North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4. The semifinals start on Thursday and none of the top four seeds are anyway to be found. So how did we end up in this situation? Here are some of the factors that have led to a semifinals, which features just one of the top seven seeds.
Upsets Happen
Upsets are as much a part of postseason play Gatorade baths on head coaches. This section has had plenty of them. On the first day of the tournament, 13th-seeded Passaic Tech defeated fourth-seeded and at the time state-ranked Clifton 1-0. With star forward Teddy Forson, Passaic Tech was a dangerous threat, but had lost to Clifton three times before then, including 5-0 on Oct. 13 in the Passaic County Tournament semifinals.
Passaic Tech's run came to an abrupt halt with a 5-2 loss to Randolph on Monday. Fifth-seeded Randolph is the only high seed to have made its way through the first two rounds unscathed.
Another state-ranked team was a young, but very talented Kearny, which had risen all the way up to No. 10 thanks to a stellar season highlighted with victories over St. Peter's Prep and Westfield. Kearny's run towards a repeat in this section came to a halt though at the hands of Montclair.
Records may not be what they appear to be
Montclair, who knocked off Kearny, is a prime example of this. Montclair may only be 9-9, but they play in a loaded Super Essex Conference American Division, arguably the best in the state. They were inconsistent at times, but regular season wins over Millburn and Seton Hall Prep clearly demonstrated they were a team with considerable talent. It has shown with eight goals scored in playoff wins over Bergen Tech and Kearny.
Fellow SEC American member West Orange is another example. A mid-September slump contributed in them receiving a 10 seed, but it has been excellent as of late, reaching the Essex County Tournament final and then starting the state playoffs with a 6-0 win over Union City and a 3-1 victory over Wayne Valley.
On the other end of spectrum are two other Essex teams in Belleville and Bloomfield. Both teams are young and have very bright futures ahead, but were in a SEC Colonial Division, which is not as strong.
An abrupt end for Memorial
Memorial had been awarded the second seed thanks to a very strong start to the season, which included a victory over St. Peter's Prep. We'll never how the West New York school would have fared in this tournament as they were disqualified by the NJSIAA after accumulating three ejections in a late October game against Dickinson. By rule, any team which had three or more ejections during the regular season is ineligible. The ruling gave 15th-seeded Wayne Valley a bye into the quarterfinals.
Based on its 3-1 loss to West Orange on Sep. 29, Memorial might not have made a long tournament run. Due to one unfortunate incident, we will never know.
Seizing the moment
One of the beauties of soccer is that, all it takes is for one play, one moment to completely alter a game. The run of 14th-seeded Fair Lawn is proof of that.
The Bergen County school found itself down 1-0 to Belleville with 10 minutes left, but rallied to tie it up and then scored the game-winner in the 78th minute when it took advantage of a defensive miscue. In the quarterfinals, Bloomfield dominated possession, but Fair Lawn goalkeeper Cody Gross turned in one of the season's great performances, making 25 saves to keep it scoreless. Fair Lawn then advanced on penalty kicks.

I believe Damian Lewis was wearing a studded tie and studded shoes, so I love him even more.
Bless you for sticking in the "I blame Spencer" joke. I think my husband still has that t-shirt.
EVERYTHING is Spencer's fault!
I don't know what I blame Spencer is from, and google isn't helping. What is this please?
Awful photo of Kate Bosworth – ew!
What on earth has happened to Kate Bosworth? She looks liked Stoned Barbie! And I know we're not supposed to comment on bodies, but she is veering into dangerously thin territory.
I'm still not quite over Wintour's interview where she claimed that she had asked the curator for advice on punk and after hearing that pink was the color of punk she opted for that dress. A) You're freakin' Anna Wintour – you're supposed to know what punk is all about; also you've got Vivienne Westwood, the folks at Alexander McQueen and JP Gaultier on speed-dial – or your PA has. B) Pink might be punk, but the pattern from a 70′s tea towel most definetely isn't.
I AM SO CONFUSED by Anna's decision making here.
I am genuinely shocked by how effing WRONG so many of these fashion choices were. Is punk that hard? All you have to do is rip up a t-shirt, add some safety pins and (fake) blood, throw on leather pants, and BOOM you're done. What's up with the floral ball gowns?
I have to wonder if Wintour went out of her way to be ironic. The dress she chose looked like what LDS/Mormon moms in my town wear in the summer. That is, it looks like she took a sleeveless floral dress and then layers it over a white short-sleeved shirt underneath for modesty (since we can't have bare shoulders). It's not a bad look for the group I normally see wearing it, but it's very much the opposite of punk.
Maggie Q looks gorgeous.
She does. It's a little big on her, but it's so great, and so great for her specifically, it doesn't even matter. Love the gently punky touch of the clashing makeup.
Thurman may look conventionally stunning, but… it's STUNNING.
No argument from me.
Yeah, that little Marc Antony doll hanging from her hip adds the punk edge the dress needed.
Definitely a drop-dead fabulous color.
Agree … Uma out-stuns everybody else, in my view … how many people could carry that dress … it's beyond fabulous.
Julianne Moore's emeralds: WANT!
Juliane Moore's peplum of infinite sadness: do not want.
Is Julianna Hough 3 feet tall? Because I've seen some stumpifying dresses in my time on this site, but never anything that so literally read "Munchkin." WEIRD.
Yeah, there should be a dictionary for all the GFY made up words, and Julianne's pic should be under the stumpifying definition
I'm just happy to see she's not wearing pants under her dress, as is her habit. I
How did you guys forget to include Paloma Faith??
I think we got her sometime yesterday.
Oh no wait, I'm sorry, nevermind – I'm thinking of a link posted in the comments section. No idea now where it was. My apologies.
It's ok! I just felt she really brought the drama (despite not being punk), unlike so many this time round.
so disappointed that no one really dressed the theme. except for sort of SJP, but even that felt watered down.
Agree … the punk theme was a failure.
Love the socialite! Assuming socialite = money, there's someone who knows what to do with her wardrobe allowance.
Julianna Moore WHAT. The vest bit on her dress is so unflattering, the hair is neither punk nor attractive, and all of it makes me tired. But not too tired to get over being mad at AW misreading "punk" to mean … whatever the hell you call what she's wearing. She absolved everyone else ignoring the theme by dressing so anti-punk.
We need a Fug Nation ball, where we all ACTUALLY DRESS TO THE MET BALL THEME every year.
Sad no one really went all out punk.- Gloriously high manic-paniced mo/faux-hawk; ripped apart chanel gown safety pinned to a shredded roberto cavalli; an actual dog collar Debbie Harry's diamond crusted chain links, gold safety pins by Tiffany for earings. Topped (or bottomed) off with steel toed jack boots.
Favorite Couture Punk– Hailee Stanfield. Punk leather & safety pins but white, ladylike & beautiful.
The fact that so many people missed the mark at this event is troubling. It either means that their stylists have no clue who Vivienne Westwood is, or they don't know what punk was, or they chose to deliberately ignore the whole theme of the ball, or that punk as a fashion inspiration is dead.
I like to think that the fact that Michelle Lesniak Franklin just won Project Runway dispels this last thought.
Speaking of Debbie Harry, where was she and why wasn't she the mascot, queen of the ball or brought in on a throne? Uma and Kate Bosworth and EMily R and Julianne ( still don't know who she is)are just desperate … and to quote you all- too much of a muchness, which isn't punk..
Well, if Lady Bobbington was going to do that for Debbie Harry, Vivienne Westwood would have needed to parachute into the Met Ball with James Bond. Instead, they gave Westwood like 10 seconds and then moved on with the boring.
Debbie was there. She was wearing Tommy Hilfiger (who actually started his career selling "punk" clothes, so it's not that weird).
Julie Macklowe is my new hero.
I really, really, REALLY hate that there are visible seams on the sheer parts of Maggie Q's dress. I mean, they couldn't figure out how to make a diamond of fabric without a seam down the middle? It looks so cheap. I hate sheer.
I took the seam to be part of the punk element. Whatever the case I thought she looked dynamite!
I'm going to date myself, but Julianne looks like Dorf's daughter at goth prom.
Julie Macklowe is proof that you can go punk and still wear a gown and look great!
I feel like too many celebs were afraid of looking "ugly" and chickened out thematically.
How boring. Why bother?
Those colours are wonderful on Mindy, but I'd like the gown better if it were more…something. More structured? As is, it's blah senior prom.
Damian Lewis looks like he's having a good time in his spiky slippers.
Whomever was in charge of Keibler's hair failed…massively.
Keibler's whole look failed massively … I don't agree that she looks cute … she looks like a waitress on Ten Forward (Star Trek) …
I don't want to turn into a 13 year-old girl here but am I the only one still shipping Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak? I know in that in real life they're just friends but in the fictional world in my head, they are MFEO.
As to the topic, this slide show just reminded me how underwhelmed by this event. Apart from a few shining moments, everything was a big snoozefest.
You are NOT the only one real-life "shipping" them. I just had a conversation about them with my friend today. And they were not ALWAYS just friends. They did date. AND they have cute twitter banter, where she once told him that he was her "soup snake." (From The Office, Michael's misreading of soulmate). Oh my god, for real, who is the 13-yr old girl now?
As for the clothes, I definitely put the blame on Anna Wintour for the lack of real punk. She created the theme, and then herself dressed SO FAR from it – I feel that sets the tone for the entire event, right?
FYI, the woman with multi-colored hair behind Helen McCrory is, I believe, Melissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo!.
I love Uma's, Minka's & Amber's outfits… Not "Punk", but BEAUTIFUL and so GLAMOROUS! Also like Kate Bosworth's look!
But Uma was wearing some jewellery with F**** Off embossed – which totes makes it punk *sigh*
Are Minka and Amber wearing basically the same gown in different colorways? That's what it seems like.
And isn't Naomie Harris' dress the same as Zoe Saldana's awards season dress from two years ago, with the ombre-ruffled train?
Even though I normally do not really like Kate B – I have to say I really like her dress. And she looks amazing in something other than nudish or black/white stuff!!
Alicia Keys – you are such a delight
I am totally fine if people didn't go "punk." You are viewing an exhibit; you don't have to match it. There were some fun winks and nods to punk (Hailee Steinfeld, Carey Mulligan come to mind) and there are always people who have fun with their clothes and will wear something out there (SJP, Madonna), but I don't denigrate anyone who wears what they would wear to a ball.
Uma is vavavavoom. Wow.
This really has nothing to do with this post, but…that Cameron Diaz birthday fugstory was awesome!
Man, she's had some really fantastic ( i can't believe I forgot about the fuschia/turquoise outfit! And that Vanity Fair orange!) and really awful looks.
After seeing it all, I think Christina Ricci wins. She did a nod to punk but still looked pretty. Win.
Not sure if it's the gray dress, the severe hair or the make-up – but Julianna Hough looks so old and wizened. SHE IS TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!
A punk event would've been a great time for her to embrace hot colors and crazy hair.
Hot pink socialite for the win!
And who was the guy standing behind her talking to Hailey Steinfeld? Crazy suit.
I thought Leslie Mann was Julianne Moore at first. But better dressed, of course.
Julie Macklowe wins!
The thing is, the name of the exhibit is "Punk: From Chaos to Couture" so I don't have a problem with ladies who wore dresses that were pretty, but you could see the punk influence via leather, studs, spikes, safety pins, and shredding. It's just so many just wimped out and wore regular conventionally pretty dresses. I didn't expect too much in the way of totally full on punk (although I was HOPING), but the severe lack of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen just speaks volumes.
I am now finding it hard to dis anyone at the Met Gala for not sticking to the theme, when AW herself couldn't be bothered.
Also, Mindy Kaling looks fan-freaking-tastic. Love the turquoise clutch with the VIOLET gown.
I love Mindy Kaling! she looks great. I also feel like she would read and love this website.
Finding myself in the weird position of wanting to raid Stacy Keibler's closet…
I for all time emailed this website post page to all

JMoore looks like she's wearing a maxi-length BBQ apron made for a guy (with the vest detailing). Sooo not flattering. : /

For all we know Carmelo Anthony could be playing for another team tomorrow, but today the despised Utah Jazz are in town which means the Denver Nuggets will be focused on one thing, taking them out.
The Jazz have made significant changes to their roster, some voluntary, some not. Gone are Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews and replacing them are Al Jefferson and Raja Bell. Some observers believe the Jazz are better. I am not one of them.
Al Jefferson is undoubtedly a better post player than Boozer. The issue in my mind is the Jazz had no problem getting easy shots at the rim thanks to their exceptional execution. Jefferson may be able to get more close shots than Boozer did on the block, but at what cost? Boozer is a very good passer and fit exceptionally well in the offensive scheme. I almost wonder if adding Jefferson to the Jazz will be akin to when the Suns acquired Shaq. Simply adding a player to fill a need does not necessarily make for a better team.
The Nuggets also tend to do a pretty good job defending Jefferson. In his three seasons in the Western Conference Jefferson's scoring average against Denver has always been lower than his overall average for the season. I believe that is due mostly to Nene. Nene is strong enough to keep Jefferson from getting position too deep. I am sure the Jazz will continue to rub Jefferson off a screen across the lane in order to knock his defender off of him so he can set up as close to the rim as possible. Denver will have to be ready to defend that motion and it will be incumbent on the Nuggets guards to obstruct and irritate Jefferson as he crosses the lane.
The player who provides the most difficulty for Denver will continue to be Deron Williams. Williams has great range, is quick with the ball and posses very good size and strength. Chauncey Billups will struggle to stay in front of Deron on the perimeter while Ty Lawson is too small to deal with him on the block. I would anticipate that Arron Afflalo will start off guarding Williams with Chauncey on Raja Bell. Afflalo will have the same problems with Williams as Chauncey as he is will struggle to stay in between Williams and the basket, but he has a better chance to slow Williams down than Chauncey does and while Williams might try to post Billups up, he will not do so with Afflalo.
As far as team defense, the Nuggets must do a better job of building their defense from the inside out. The Jazz are not a great three point shooting team at this point in the season. Raja Bell is excellent and Williams is solid, but C.J. Miles is slightly below average, Mehmet Okur is out and Gordon Hayward struggled from the college three point line last season at Butler. If the Nuggets can reduce the number of easy opportunities the Jazz have in the paint and close out on Bell, they should have more success defending the Jazz than we are accustomed to.
Offensively, Jerry Sloan has come out and said Utah cannot contain Carmelo Anthony. Andrei Kirilenko has had success in slowing Melo down in the past, but injuries have robbed him of some of his athleticism and Melo has been getting the better of AK-47 over the past couple of seasons, when Kirilenko is on the court that is. The Jazz will most likely play Melo one on one with defenders on their toes ready to help on the drive and double him when he gets the ball in the post.
It will be interesting to see how Denver executes offensively starting two defensive minded players in Afflalo and Shelden Williams. Afflalo had an exceptional preseason, even tallying ten assists in the final game against the Suns. That was clearly an aberration though as he entered that game averaging under two assists per outing. Still, the Nuggets are asking Afflalo to do more offensively which may be a mistake. He is an average ball handler and passer for a shooting guard, but is not great off the dribble. He is best as a spot up shooter and a slasher. However, he worked his tail off this summer and he was a very good scoring guard in the preseason. I expect to see players grow over the summer and there is reason to believe Afflalo will be a better scorer this season than last. If the Jazz decide to put Bell on Billups and Williams on Afflao, a slight possibility, it will be interesting to see if Afflalo can make Williams work in the half court.
The Nuggets are also asking Ty Lawson to look to score more this year and he certainly has the talent to do so. With Al Harrington, who is ready to play despite still experiencing pain from his ongoing bout with plantar fasciitis, coming off the bench along with J.R. Smith the Nuggets will have as explosive a bench as anyone in the NBA. They should certainly have an advantage of the Jazz bench, although you know the Jazz reserves will continue to execute and work for high caliber shots.
Denver is the more talented team and they are playing at home. The players are probably holding out hope that a fast start can help convince Carmelo to stay as there is really nothing else to hang their hat on for this season. Coming off a playoff loss to Utah six months ago it will be an emotional night.
Of course, the best moment of the evening, win or lose, will be seeing George Karl back on the court again. I expect to see a motivated Nuggets team play a very good game, and at least for now, alert the league that they are a still a very good basketball team.

I've got a PayPal Payment Card and a PayPal debit card. The debit card pays 1% cash back on purchases. What incentive do I have to use the PayPal Payment Card? Furthermore, it appears that Payment Card transactions are not subject to federal consumer protection laws as debit cards are. It seems that the Payment Card is only beneficial to PayPal because it gets to collect the merchant processing fees that would otherwise be paid to Visa, Mastercard and AmericanExpress. If I don't get the 1% cash back, I wouldn't use the PayPal debit card at all; I'd just use the debit card provided by my bank.

Today was to be the litmus test for Warren Hills Regional High School's wrestling team.
By day's end, the up-and-coming Blue Streaks would know where they stood among some of the New Jersey's best.
Safe to say, Warren Hills represented itself pretty well, going 2-1 against Garden State powers Timber Creek, Howell and High Point in an independent quad meet in Washington Township.
"We didn't really know where we were at as a team," Warren Hills coach Jarrett Hosbach said. "We thought we had talent. We've worked hard but we weren't sure of where we were in the grand scheme of things. Using today as a barometer, I'd say we improved a lot."
The Blue Streaks (6-1) won a pair of come-from-behind matches over Timber Creek (36-35) and Howell (31-26) before dropping a 38-24 decision to High Point.
All three teams were widely regarded as top 20 squads in any and all the preseason rankings.
"I'm really proud of how we wrestled today," Blue Streaks 182-pounder Steve Cleaver said. "We didn't finish out exactly the way we wanted to but we took down a couple of really tough teams."
Cleaver went 3-0 on the day with three pins and was smack in the middle of both comeback wins.
In the opener, Timber Creek opened up a 35-12 with four bouts remaining, meaning Warren Hills would need to pin out to get the win. Ryan Ostir (182), Cleaver (195), Ryan Witner (220) and sophomore heavyweight Andrew Pacheco did just that.
Ostir trailed 2-0 after one period when he head-locked Justin Gonzalez to his back for the fall in 2:50 to make it 35-18. Cleaver followed by building a 5-0 lead on Kashon Gordan after one before cradling and pinning the Chargers freshman in 2:09.
The Streaks still trailed by 11 (35-24) but were heavily favored in the final two bouts. Witner followed by hitting a headlock of his own and pinning Joe Morett in 3:17, setting up Pacheco, who needed 1:27 of the first period to deck Isaiah Hardy and upset the favored Chargers.
"We had some guys today that were put in some pressure situations and came through," Hosbach said. "And I think that's great."
There were several clutch performances in the win over Howell as well with Cleaver leading the charge. The Streaks trailed the Rebels 20-6 with six bouts left when they started their comeback.
Ostir (5-1) won a 5-3 decision over Casey Fecht at 170. Cleaver followed and looked slightly overmatched through the first three minutes of his bout with Nate Litowsky at 182.
Litowsky built an 8-3 lead after the first period on the strength of a 5-point move and led 9-3 heading into the third. Cleaver, however, pushed the pace the final period and after Litowsky took two injury timeouts, trailed just 11-8 when he slapped on a cradle for the fall in 5:32.
"Coach (Hosbach) was telling me on one of the timeouts that (Litowsky) is taking injury time really early," Cleaver said. "You can break him. From that point, I knew if I kept pushing him, he would break."
"One thing we always say is nobody's in better shape than us," Hosbach said. "It's not only something we say, it's something we believe. We feel like anytime we have a shot in the third period, we should be able to win that period."
Howell led 26-21 after trading falls at 195 and 220, and again, Warren Hills was favored in the final two bouts.
Pacheco (6-1) got the Streaks to within a point with a 10-1 major decision over Joe Sportiello at 285.
Austin Pidoto put the finishing touches on another dramatic win by pinning Mikey Sisolak a minute into the final period. Pidoto trailed 4-2 after two but reversed Sisolak and cranked him to his back for the fall and the win.
The nightcap didn't go so well for the Streaks.
High Point (3-1), which lost to Howell 29-28 on the eighth criterion (most first points scored) in the opening round and then handled Timber Creek (40-21) in the second session, was simply too balanced for Warren Hills.
"You come to something like this early in the year to learn a few things," High Point coach John Gardner said. "We learned a lot today and it wasn't about coming in and winning all of them. It was about learning and getting a little bit better."
The Wildcats won nine bouts, getting three falls and a pair of major decisions to close out the event in style.
"I think we looked a little mentally fatigued in the last match," Hosbach said. "We've got to be able to tough through that. We had two emotional wins early. Well, let's go get a third one. Let's not be content with where we're at. Everybody was tired. Not just us. But that's part of the process. We just talked in the wrestling room. Today isn't the destination. It's another step in the journey. Our goal is for today to be the worst that we wrestle the rest of the season. To keep improving every day and get better every time we step on the mat."
