Driving along the highway today, I was once again impressed as usual by the glistening water of the Kalamazoo harbor as it meanders along Saugatuck. From the highway, the water seemed like glass today as the sunshine made it all a very picturesque scene. The harbor is a big part of what gives the Saugatuck community such a unique setting and the sunshine sure did seem to help today too.

It is normal the outside of my areola is hard and some soft?
I'm 2 Weeks and 1 Day Post Op Now After Gynecomastia Surgery?
Doctor Answers 2
Firmness Under Areola After Gynecomastia Surgery
Brian, This is an excellent question. You didn't tell us if you just had liposuction or if you had liposuction with gland excision. In either case, firmness under areola at this stage would indicate Organized Swelling. This is a term my friend, Andy Kaczynski, M.D. of Sacramento, has coined to identify pre scar. In my practice, we treat this organized swelling with ultrasound (the kind physical therapists use for sore muscles). It converts sound energy into heat which increases the blood supply to the area and removes nonviable tissue. It also acts like a sifter in the kitchen to level any fat cells which have temporarily lost their moorings, giving you a flat bed of fat cells. A second plastic surgical technique I would use here is DMSO which will also take down much of the swelling since it is the world's best anti-inflammatory.
In direct answer to your question, yes, it is normal to have soft and hard spots at this stage after gynecomastia surgery.
Gynecomastia swelling
I assume by this time you have been reassured by your doctor that it is still very early to make any evaluations. two weeks is barely the end of the initial swelling phase. Give it a little time and my guess is you will do fine.

text: Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! Thinking back after the season a lot of things seemed obvious. The Bears needed a complete overhaul on the Def as well as coaching and management. Those feelings continued through free agency and onto draft day. The prevailing thought had been WR, RB, OT, OC, and QB, maybe if they traded back, were needs but not as important as NT, DE, OLB, ILB, CB, FS, SS, the reality was the talent wasn't there and the switch to 3-4 were going to make that even more evident. There were questions about OLB's having Houston and Young both hurt and really DE's, and Allen for that matter, then question marks like Greene, Shea, Bass and Washington to back fill the group. There seemed no actual DE's and the NT was extremely thin. Then free agency happened, and the team went, well quiet signing one big name in McPhee at OLB and then a bunch of much shorter term deals trickled in as time wore on. But what no one seemed to notice was that they transformed the defense, all of a sudden there were two 3-4 DE's, 2 ILB's a CB to complete for a starting job, and a S to take the pressure off Vereen and Mundy. Yet fans still insisted that the defense needed picks early and often. Then before the draft happened there was a 3 day minicamp and some more news came out that most didn't hear about, I know I didn't. Sutton and Ego would also complete for DE time, Ego would also look at being a NT. Shea would start at ILB but could move to OLB, and the depth chart looked a little deeper. The team really had set themselves up to go with the BPA, no longer did they HAVE to take a edge rushing OLB, or a DE, or a NT or a DB, they could take one if the right player fell but it wasn't required, and that is exactly what they did going BPA right off of THEIR boards, to us some looked like reaches or a little out of place considering the players still on the board but they got the players they wanted and all filled a need. The draft fell seemed to shock many fans, only 2 defensive players taken, in the 2nd and not again until the 5th. the rest of the draft was dedicated to the offense, and every need was filled but QB. They got a WR, a RB, a OC all capable of starting day one, or at least later into the season and they got a high potential project at OT. Looking at how free agency fell, and how the coaches planned to use the current players on the roster it should be no shock at all that this draft went mostly offense. WR really was a bigger need then anyone wanted to admit the loss of Marshal was never handled and Royal was brought in to move Wilson and the other WR's back down the depth chart. Forte was on the last year of his deal, Carey/Perry was at best an unknown's, and there are hints that the coaches and HH were not impressed with what they saw from Carey at all; the addition of Rogers only helped to create the start of a running back by committee approach Fox wants. The team was in desperate need of an OC, they hadn't drafted one since Kreutz, Garza was no longer a realistic option and the signing of Montgomery was really only a safeguard in case whoever they drafted wasn't ready day 1. The draft couldn't have fallen better for the Bears early on. Washington over drafted Schreff and guaranteed the Bears could get a top 5 pick, either Leo Williams, Vic Beasley, or Kevin White. The trade of Marshal to the Jets might have kicked the Bears in the gut as they might have taken White to fill their WR position instead of Williams but we will never know. With the first pick on the board it was going to set the pace, pun intended, for how the rest of the draft would go. They could now get the best OLB/edge rusher on the board, 2nd best in the draft, or the overall BPA, and 2nd best WR in the draft. They went WR, and ignored every edge rusher after that. In the second round the board again fell perfect for the Bears as Eddie Goldman, the 2nd best NT and a real first round talent fell to them again. The 3rd round is where you saw the Bears draft board start to deviate from most others. They passed on many assumed higher rated talent, but got the 2nd best OC in the draft, some thinking he was the best in Grassu, and followed that up in the forth with Langford while many more talented players were on the board, even some RB's. The next round they went back to the defense for the last time and got S Adrian Amos ignoring other higher rated safeties per nfl.com. He then followed that up w/their last pick going completely off anyone else's radar in drafting Tayo Fabuluje, a highly talented but very raw project of an OT. While it was unexpected considering the CB and S talent still on the board, but it was comforting to know that the only real head scratcher came in the 6th round of the draft and not rounds 1-4, which had become all to common in the last two decades. Looking back at the draft it was a complete win. The Bears found three starters and two more contributors in 6 picks, amazing. They got at least 2 players from hell in Kevin White and Eddie Goldman, Doug Buffone would be proud of those picks, he wanted the Bears to get White if they could. They also got one project, bust most of that project was because of weight concerns, something he says he's already taken care of. Pace stated he wanted to create competition for the veterans and rookies, he's done just that. This year's training camp will have true battles, not spoken platitudes about competition like the last two regimes. Fans didn't get what they expected, but the Bears got what they needed. Pace stated he wanted to use this draft to build a foundation of the future much like the Saints had done a few years before they won their SB; mission accomplished.

"Is it hot enough for you?" You've probably heard this greeting more than once during the dog days of summer. If you're like most growers, your main concern is less for yourself (you can get out of the heat!) than for your crops. Most vegetables—even the ones we think of as "heat-loving"—don't do that well when temperatures soar.
In this two-part article, we cover basic production strategies for getting your crops through summer's heat, a mounting challenge for many growers. We then address the needs of cool-season crops as temperatures climb, rather than those that are inherently heat-loving—although there are differences among both—including recommendations for varieties that perform best in the heat.

Thats brilliant.
Wish I could get ammo that cheap. I jump for joy when i can get 5.56 or .45 for under $.45 a round.
My brother forwarded me this email. Pretty funny...
I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania). The cost is a bit high @ US$800 per person per day double occupancy but I didn't find that offensive.
What I found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging people to bring their 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have weapons, you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days).
All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package.
$800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing)
M4- full auto rental $25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing ammo at 15.95
Ak-47 rifle @ No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo at 14.95
Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle rental $55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds; 50 cal armor piercing at $9.95 each.
Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).
They even offer RPG's at $75 each and $200 for 3 standard loads
"Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am."
Meals are not included, but seem reasonable priced.
Most cruises offer a mini-bar... these gung-ho entrepreneurs offer......... get this.....
"MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire"
Sign me up!
They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even claim "FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY"
They even offer a partial money back if not satisfied....here's some text from the ad.
"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted Hijacking does not occur, we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 3 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia. At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore-side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before May 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice."
As if all that isn't enough to whet your appetite, there were a few testimonials
"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game in Africa again. I felt like the Komandant in Schindlers list!"---- Lars, Hamburg Germany
"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun.
PIRATES 0 -PASSENGERS-32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English"
----Ned, Salt Lake City, Utah USA
"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM. Don't worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use and their noodlesty aim--reminds me of a drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam"
----"chopper' Dan, Toledo USA.
"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate eaten by sharks--what a laugh riot!! This is a must do!"
Thats brilliant.
Wish I could get ammo that cheap. I jump for joy when i can get 5.56 or .45 for under $.45 a round.
JemPlayer beat me to it!
That's cheap ammo!
But.. more importantly.. are they hiring for OS?
Depends how good a sniper spotter you are.

This $figure shown is for the rental of this unit in Pelican Bay. It is not listed in our multiple list service for sale, but there are two in the building, as of a few days ago, with the least expensive at $399,000 asking price. Pelican Bay does not have time shares in the community. If you are interested in rentals, just let me know. The least expensive condos in the Pelican Bay area start at $249,000, but there are plenty elsewhere in Naples for a lot less than that!

In today's installment of, "Hey, look what somebody did with Minecraft!" We have a coupe of videos of the first level of Amnesia: The Dark Descent – remade Minecraft style
The creator of this first video is GamerDuality, and he had this to say:
Wondering how long this took me? I didn't time it, but I believe about 20 hours. If I didn't have to mine all that shit, the time would've been lessened considerably. More than halved, probably. I had to level half a hill, mine copious amounts of cobblestone, cut down dozens of trees, and punch many a sheep and pick many a rose to complete this.
I did it that way to squeeze some more fun outta the game. Building whatever you please is fun and all, but I got tired of building skyscrapers and tunnels… and I have no personal creativity of my own. =D
Yes, this is the first thing I've ever tried to replicate. I'm currently fooling around with the next few rooms in Amnesia – learning as I go. Trial by fire as they say.
Be sure to check out the RipTen Review of the actual Amnesia: The Dark Descent, It's way more scary.
Not to be outdone – another Minecrafter 69KBCat created Minesia: The Deep Descent – a recreation that uses actual sound effects from Amnesia.
I took on the challenge of recreating the whole Brennenburg castle in Minecraft. This is the begining of Amnesia up to the entrance hall.
These guys have way too much time on their hands . . .

Home Safety
In the Home
Lock doors at all times, even during the day.
Use a peephole or ask for identification before opening the door. Install peepholes in entry doors to see who's outside, if you don't already have one.
Door chains are NOT security devices; they break easily and won't keep intruders out.
If a stranger asks to use the phone, do NOT allow them in. Offer to call for emergency assistance.
If windows or doors have been forced or broken while you were out, DO NOT ENTER OR CALL OUT! Usa a neighbor's phone, call 9-1-1, and wait until help arrives.
Always close and lock garage doors before driving away.
When returning home, don't leave house keys in the door after opening it.
Never put keys and pocketbook down just inside the open door while carrying packages inside.
Make sure every external door has a sturdy, well-installed deadbolt lock with a minimum of 1-1/2 inch bolt.
Secure sliding glass doors with commercially available locks or with a broomstick or wooden dowel in the track to jam the door in case someone tries to pry it open.
Make sure windows are of good quality with strong locks; don't forget about basement windows.
Don't hide keys in mailboxes, planters, or under doormats.
Give an extra key to a trustworthy neighbor.
Have locks changed if moving to a new home or apartment.
Doors should be of good quality with exterior doors made of metal or solid 1-3/4 inch hardwood.
Trim shrubbery that hides doors or windows.
Cut tree limbs that could help an intruder climb into windows.
Turn on outside lights after dark to illuminate porches, entrances, and yards, front and back. Consider timers that turn on outside lights or install motion detectors.
Make sure the house number is clearly visible so police and emergency vehicles can find your home quickly.
Update or create a home inventory list. Take pictures of personal property and make sure you have a list of items and their serial numbers. Keep this list in a safe place. If your home is burglarized, this can help identify stolen items and make insurance claims easier to file.
If you hear a noise that sounds like someone is breaking in or moving around, quietly call the police and wait calmly until they arrive. If you and your family can leave safely, do so. Otherwise, lock everyone in a room. Do NOT be a hero.
Away from Home
Be alert of surrounding and people.
Walk confidently at a steady pace making eye contact with people.
Whenever possible, travel with a friend.
Stay in well-lit areas as much as possible. Avoid doorways, bushes, and alleys where someone could hide.
Although a purse-snatcher's intent is to steal the purse, the grabbing and shoving that can take place may result in injury. Carry a purse securely between arm and body.
Do not converse with strangers -- continue walking.
In the Car
Lock car doors after entering or leaving the vehicle.
Park in well-lit areas.
Have car keys in hand before entering the car.
Check the backseat before entering the car.
Drive to a well-lit public place if being followed.
If a car breaks down, open the hood and attach a white cloth to the antenna. If someone stops to help, stay in the locked car and aske them to call police or a garage.
Don't help broken-down motorists. Call for help.
If driven home, request driver to wait until you are safely inside.
In the Office
Never leave a purse or billfold in plain view or in the pocket of a jacket hanging on a door.
Personal property should be marked with identification.
Don't leave cash or other valuables at the office.
If in an elevator with another person, stand near the control panel. If attacked, press the alarm and control buttons.
Be alert to pickpockets on crowed elevators.
If working alone or non-business hours, lock your office door.
Report suspicious persons or activities to authorities.
Know esape routes for emergencies and post your emergency numbers near telephones.

Teri Shields died last week in New York City, according to Jill Fritzo, a
spokeswoman for her mother, actress Brooke Shields. The New York Times reported the elder
Shields died at age 79 after a long illness related to dementia.
Teri Shields raised eyebrows when she allowed the 11-year-old Brooke to be cast as a prostitute in 1978's "Pretty Baby." A few years later, she permitted a teenage Brooke Shields to famously star in a series of commercials for Calvin Klein jeans, provocatively professing that nothing comes between "me and my Calvins."
Teri Shields started promoting her daughter as an actress and model when she was still an infant and managed her until her 20s. Shields described her daughter's fan appeal in a 1978 TV interview: "They see total innocence, which is totally there. And two, they have the sexy child, too, they have the sexy person — that appeals to them."
Brooke Shields parted ways professionally with her mother in 1995, describing the move as "the hardest thing." She told Rolling Stone the following year that "something didn't feel right."
"I had hopes and dreams, and I wasn't doing anything to go toward them," she said. "The focus was on creating a persona rather than a talent."
Teri Shields said in 1996 that she was proud of her daughter for taking control of her life and career.
"I felt that she had to be on her own. It kills me once in a while. I would like to get over it," she said in an interview on TV's "Extra." ''I would love for Brooke to be my best friend, but you can't because I am her mother and she is my daughter."
Shields is also survived by a sister and two granddaughters.

Sen. Mike Folmer, R-Lebanon County, will be admitted to York Hospital on Wednesday for two or three days to undergo a procedure to remove fluid from his chest.
Fluid in his upper body, which initially led to his lymphoma diagnosis, was previously drained from his chest, but additional fluid remains. The procedure, a pericardial window, is a more permanent solution to drain accumulated fluid.
Folmer was diagnosed with follicular grade I non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a treatable form of cancer, in late February. Following his diagnosis, he vowed to be open about his treatment and give his constituents updates on his condition. He since has returned to attend to his senatorial duties.
"My doctors are pleased with my progress and I continue to remain optimistic about my diagnosis. I have been humbled by the outpouring of support from my colleagues, constituents and friends," Folmer said.
Folmer will undergo six chemotherapy treatments to kill the malignant cells in the lymph nodes. His second chemotherapy treatment is scheduled for the week of March 19.

Exchange Server offers features that allow you and your employees anywhere access to e-mail, calendaring, and more. See what features are included with Exchange Server for anywhere access below.
A Comprehensive, Integrated System
For most businesses today, e-mail is the mission-critical communications tool that allows their people to produce the best results. This greater reliance on e-mail has increased the number of messages sent and received, the variety of work getting done, and even the speed of business itself. Amid this change, employee expectations have also evolved. Today, employees look for rich, efficient access—to e-mail, calendars, attachments, contacts, and more—no matter where they are or what type of device they are using.
Microsoft Exchange has been designed specifically to meet these challenges and address the needs of the different groups who have a stake in the messaging system. The new capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server deliver the advanced protection your company demands, the anywhere access your people want, and the operational efficiency you need.
Just how important is e-mail?
According to a 2003 Survey by Meta Group, 80% of organizations surveyed felt that access to e-mail was more important than the telephone... 74% believed being without e-mail would present a greater hardship than losing telephone service.
Remote, Centralized Storage
Exchange Server's remote, centralized information storage allows users to set delivery options, size limitations, and other e-mail rules. And because Exchange Server operates outside the users' local environment, these functions persist even when the computer is off.
Your Company Domain Name
Enhance the professionalism of your business by adding your company's domain name to the e-mail address of all your users (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Unlimited E-mail Aliases
Exchange Server allows each of your users to have as many email addresses as is necessary. John Doe's email address can be john@…, jdoe@…, johnd@…, and sales@… all at the same time with one primary "reply as" address for each mailbox. There is also support for an unlimited number of different domain names; for example you can have addresses at MyCompany.com, MyCompany.net, and MyOtherCompany.com simultaneously.
"Group Enabled" Outlook Features
With Exchange Hosting, everything in Outlook can now become "group enabled". Your calendar, task list, inbox, etc. can all be viewed or modified by other users that you specify. The extent to which those users can interact or modify your information is entirely up to your control.
IT Solutions Now Exchange Hosting supports:
Clients: Microsoft Outlook 98, 2000, XP, 2003,
2007, Outlook Express and Outlook Web Access - Outlook 2010 version is recommended (free for IT Solutions Now mailbox owners).

StratConn on the Horizon
September 11, 2009 by Newsfeed Editor
Filed under Friday Focus
In the Tuesday edition of Top Shelf, we introduced you to the Manufacturer and Retailer Connection Sessions that will take place at Spring Conference. These sessions are part of an ongoing initiative to connect trading partners with at-retail merchandising and marketing service companies. Today, we introduce you to StratConn, an event that will take place on July 28-29, 2010 at the Marriott O'Hare Chicago in conjunction with In-Store Marketing Institute. The concept is a face to face event that will consist of invitation only meetings between buyers (manufacturers and retailers) and sellers (retail service companies) over a two day period.
This week NARMS entered into an agreement with the In-Store Marketing Institute to co-produce StratConn, an annual series of pre-arranged interviews between trading partners and service companies. The event will be customized toward retail execution services. The meetings will be by invitation only and are guaranteed because there will be a fee to participate. There will be more details forthcoming about the fee structure and how to participate.
An ongoing challenge of sales personnel is the process of pre-qualifying prospects and getting in front of the decision maker. StratConn meetings will take care of the recon work and put you across the table from a buyer that is actively seeking at-retail help. What better use of your sales, marketing and travel dollars to know that at the end of your trip, you had a chance to present your company's capabilities to a qualified buyer who has a direct and immediate need?
Stays tuned for more details concerning this exciting event and in the meantime, consider the value that this opportunity could have for you and your company.

With storm clouds circling in Washington around a potential government shutdown or a default on our nation's debt, it is becoming increasingly urgent that our leaders in Washington stop dodging the tough issues and work to develop a truly comprehensive plan to tackle the issue. Specifically, it is time to reform our increasingly costly entitlement programs, reign in wasteful spending and rewrite our outdated and inefficient tax code. Unless we do, we risk saddling future generations with a mountain of debt and robbing them of their chance at the American Dream.
As a supporter of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a national bipartisan organization advocating for a comprehensive deficit-reduction agreement, I was happy to read that both Sen. Bob Casey and Sen. Pat Toomey are fed up with the gridlock and partisanship that has consumed recent budget debates. ("Debt ceiling fatigue is GOP's problem, but Democrats have to fix it," Robert Vickers, Sept. 19.) I would like to see national policymakers get past the finger-pointing and find real common ground from which they can put the country back on a sustainable fiscal path.
Readers who agree can join the nearly 14,000 Pennsylvanians who have signed our Citizens' Petition to Fix the Debt at www.fixthedebt.org. We must encourage our nation's leadership to focus on taking meaningful steps towards addressing our national debt as we near this fall's various budget landmines.

The 31st annual Memorial Day 4-Mile Run, sponsored by the Staten Island Advance and Staten Island University Hospital, will be bigger and better this year, and there's a new scoring change that should make all the runners happy.
It's always been a day of fun for the entire family, with kids' races, refreshments and a health and fitness walk. And if the weather is good, expect big crowds to line the finishing area along the Boardwalk.
The race, annually the Island's largest in terms of numbers, is once again expected to attract more than 1,000 runners.
The course is flat and fast, but deceptive. Don't be fooled by the first two miles along Fr. Capodanno Blvd., as the return trip is tougher.
The second half of the race features more than a mile along the beach promenade, followed by a cruel finishing stretch along the Boardwalk.
Last year's winners are once again expected to toe the line.
The men's race has been dominated by young collegiate stars. Dan Lewis, a Villanova graduate, is the defending champ. Lewis pulled away from American University senior Jeff Brannigan, who won the 2009 contest.
Experience has been the key to winning the women's division. Terry Ballou, last year's winner, a former Holy Cross star, is now a nationally-ranked masters runner. And before that, Lauren Rhatigan, a New Jersey masters road-racing star, won three Memorial Day races in succession.
There is one major change this year, as race officials, eager to stage the best possible race, have gone to computer chip timing, which will expedite results and scoring.
There's also plenty of food and refreshments at the finish line, and live music.
The race is not only for the fast and young, as outstanding prizes are presented to the top three in various age groupings. While times may not be as spectacular as those of nationally-ranked stars, the "wars within the wars" annually produce excellent competition.
And there are plenty of team awards as well.
There are those who do not choose to run, and hundreds take part in the health and fitness walk each year.
The Memorial Day Run is also the first leg of the local Triple Crown series, which will be sponsored this year by Staten Island Track and Running Community (SITRAC).
Last year's Triple Crown winners were Sean Tiernan, a college star at Farmingdale, and Terry Ballou.
Runners may enter using the printed blanks that appear in the Advance. Entry blanks will be available at all major running outlets, and beginning Monday, online entries will be taken. Go to www.silive.com, and click on the link for the Advance Memorial Day Run for entry information and instructions.

We are specialists in creating products of vegetal nutrition. The manufacturing technology that we use for DISPER products is exclusive to our company. It is based on the formulation of granules 100% soluble in water (WSG and fluid bed technology), which facilitates its manipulation and application. Thanks to its exclusive mechanism of dissolution and due to it being exempt of powder, they do not form lumps.
They are of suitable use for both irrigation and pulverization systems. It is precisely this feature (the granulation) and being powder-free, which grants our products a privileged position over other formulations that exist nowadays on the market, that have a clear tendency to change.
The high concentration of each product allows the reduction of packaging which helps physical effort to the farmer and avoids him to have large spaces free to keep their provisions; it also avoids inconvenients when eliminating residues.
The DISPER products are commercialized in Spain by EDEN AGRO and exported by EDEN MODERN AGRICULTURE, both companies belonging to Indalva Group S.L.
For the function and composition, DISPER products are classified by five categories:
Soil Conditioners: Is a line of products aimed for the improvement of soil properties and crop development.
Self- defense Inductors: Is a line of products specifically designed to induce natural mechanisms of defense in crops to cope with stress due to climatic agents or bacterial or fungal diseases.
Deficiency Correctors: Is a line of chelated trace elements that prevent and correct nutritional deficiencies in crops.
Sinergy: Is a line of products with a specific combination of chelating and complexing agents that produce a synergistic effect, allowing the improvement in the efficiency of absorption, for both, leaf and root.
Crop Cycle: Is a line in which the products are specially designed for each stage of the crop cycle. The use of highly specific and effective molecules favors cultivation and stimulation of the plant cycle.

FLINT, MI – Flint-based Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy – the country's largest independent specialty pharmacy – was recently named as one of Michigan's economic bright spots by CORP! magazine.
The statewide business publication highlighted Diplomat as one of 41 Michigan companies that are a driving force in the state's economy. The company was honored on June 26, along with 40 other Michigan businesses, at the CORP! 2013 Michigan Economic Bright Spot awards ceremony.
Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy has increased its revenues more than 50 percent since 2011, and was cited in 2012 by Inc. magazine as one of the nation's top job creators.
With approximately 900 employees as of June 2013, Diplomat's employee base was just over 400 in April 2010 when the company announced plans to purchase its new headquarters – the former General Motors' Great Lakes Technology Centre complex on Saginaw Street in Flint.
Also announced at that time was a plan to add more than 1,000 new jobs in life sciences in five years, and the company remains on target to meet that goal.
CORP! also spotlighted Diplomat because of the lead it has taken on community and private-public partnership initiatives that are aiding in the rebuilding of Flint.
Two of those initiatives includes the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Community Ventures program with N.E.W. Life Ministries, and the Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy Mile Marker Challenge with Flint-based Crim Fitness Foundation.

An August meeting became unruly, said Councilman Richard Saroli, with board members not following proper procedure, as well as residents and board members speaking directly with one another.
Prior to their Sept. 9 meeting, Council President Pro Tem Mark Baldwin asked for a sergeant-at-arms to be considered. Village Administrator Jakki Sidge said the request will be placed on the Oct. 14 council meeting agenda.
tim_drake said a review of procedure may be in order:
Goodrich may be best served in contacting the Genesee Area Unit of Parliamentarians. There are several Registered Parliamentarians and Professional Registered Parliamentarians throughout the county.
FruFru326 said the village council need to call itself to order:
The Goodrich Village officials need to review parliamentary procedure and protocol for themselves. They have consistently shown little regard for residents with differing views. They bulldoze, ignore, ridicule, and restrict comment from any resident that presents concerns that are not being addressed. They are totally to blame for the breakdown in protocol. I would suggest more citizens show up at these meetings to find out what is really going on.
belales fell in line with FruFru326's take:
I agree. These people need to understand that they were elected and paid by the citizens. They need to act on the best interest of the people that they represent without having to take "strong-arm" tactics against those very citizens!!

WELLS - The Escanaba Eskymos showed just how well they can play without their leading scorer, Tuesday night in their pre-regional game against Negaunee.
Not because they wanted to. The situation was forced on Escanaba when junior forward Levi Wunder took a knee-on-knee collision early in the first period. He left the ice and did not return with the game in a scoreless tie at that point.
The Eskymos role players stepped up and with a rapid succession burst later in the period, lifted Escanaba to a 3-0 victory.

Negaunee forward Jackson vilona makes a pass to a teammate in front of Escanaba defenseman Quintin McCarthy (20) during Monday night's pre-regional hockey game at Wells Sports Complex.
The Miners were held to just four shots over the final two periods and were outshot 44-12 for the game.
"We controlled the game, minimized their shots. They barely had any shots on Nicky (goaltender Nick LeMire)," said Eskymos head coach Matt Hughes. "It's tough for a goaltender when he doesn't see that much action, to stay in the game, and he did what he needed to do - He squared up on shots, made the save, covered the puck, he did well in that aspect."
Of the Miners 12 shots, only one was a quality scoring chance - a two on one that got behind the Esky defense, forcing LeMire to make a diving save to his right.

"Our defensemen kept them to the outside. They played the body, they were physical," said Hughes. "And we had good support coming back from our forwards, getting to loose pucks and heading up ice as a unit."
Approximately five minutes after Wunder's injury, it was Escanaba's third line of Dylan Gauthier, Nick Aird and Hunter LaMarch that that struck, with LaMarch finding the net on a tic tac toe pass. Capitalizing on the play, only 20 seconds later Derek Chaillier found a racing Calvin Pinar and fed him the puck, which he one-timed past Tyler Riutta.
"It's that type of year. It's the playoffs," said Hughes of the timeliness of his third line. "It's a sad thing to have your leading scorer and top guy go down, but those guys stepped up and played hard. They gave this team some energy and some life.
"They scored the first one, got the team fired up and 20 seconds later they put another one in, and that was a nice play by Derek to hit Calvin Pinar coming up in the slot. That sophomore line made it happen."
It turned out the 20 seconds of offense was all Escanaba needed as their team defense continued to stifle the Negaunee forwards.
But it certainly wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been for Negaunee. Of the 44 shots the Eskymos put up, not many were quality chances, and that's partly due to the work the Miners did in their zone. In fact, the Miners re-evaluated their system after getting beat 12-1 by Escanaba on Feb. 11.
"After the last game when they beat us so bad, we completely changed our defensive zone system. This is the third game we had to work on it and I thought it was pretty effective," said Miners head coach Darrel Sleeman. "They still got the shots, but we cut down on the number of quality shots. We didn't quit but - and it's been killing us the whole season, we haven't been able to score goals.
"You can play a perfect defensive game, you still have to score a goal to win. It's a tough loss, but we lost to a good team."
Though Hughes acknowledged that his team has to generate better quality chances, Riutta still had to look sharp on a number of opportunities, including a 5-on-3 in the third period. He made 41 saves in the contest.
"He's been the difference for us all season long," said Sleeman. "He's given us the chance to be in every game and unfortunately in a lot of games, we haven't responded offensively to support him."
The Eskymos were shorthanded for much of the second period, having to kill off five penalties in the frame, yet still outshot the Miners 13-2.
"There was no flow to the second period whatsoever," he said. "It was a pretty choppy period, but the kids fought through it. They had a little adversity thrown at them, killed off a few penalties and created some scoring opportunities in the meantime."
Wunder will be evaluated during today's practice. His status for Thursday's regional semifinal against Marquette is unknown. The Redmen beat Kingsford 5-0, Monday night.
"In-between periods he was pretty sore and icing it up," said Hughes. "We're going to have a little skate (today). We'll see how much it swells up, how much bruising there is, and we'll go from there."
Sleeman was adamant following the game, that there was no intent to injure on Negaunee's part.
"Levi is an excellent player and it was sad that he got hurt," Sleeman said. "I would never have someone go out and intentionally hurt someone. I've coached for 45 years and I would never do that.
"It was unfortunate that he got the knee, those things happen. With him being down, that gave us more of a chance, but we didn't respond. They got the timely goals that they had, and they won the game."

Although already immortalized by her work within the community, a new scholarship fund will ensure the name Tammy Tisa will never be forgotten.
Tisa, the Cumberland County EMS coordinator and Millville Rescue Squad training director, is the namesake for a new scholarship fund that will be given to a student going into the EMS field that shares the same love, dedication, passion and sincerity for helping others that she did, according to John Tisa, Tammy's husband, who came up with the idea for the scholarship.
Tammy Tisa, who was also assistant chief and president of Lawrence Township EMS, passed away of metastatic breast cancer 10 days after being diagnosed with it over the summer.
"Tammy was an instructor with the Millville Rescue Squad and she worked for the vocational school out of Cumberland County," Tisa said. "She taught two classes every year for the past five years, and each class had 40-80 students.
"It is extremely important to carry on her legacy."
The classes are $550 for each class, and there are two a season.
The scholarship is for $500, and Tisa said it can be used toward the tuition for the rescue squad classes or toward the student's next step in their education to become an EMS, whatever that might be.
Classes are currently in session, with graduation scheduled for December.
Tisa plans to be at the graduation with a plaque to award the first scholarship.
A Poker Run to benefit the new Tammy Tisa Memorial EMS Scholarship Fund will be held at the Toad Fish Bar and Grill Saturday, from noon to midnight.
Shut Up Shannon will perform at 4 p.m., and No Drama will play until midnight. A DJ will fill the gap in between.
Tickets are $20 per person, and all proceeds will benefit the fund.
Entertainment is included in the price of the ticket, and there will be various fundraising efforts throughout the day in the form of raffles and 50/50's.
Additional donations for the fund can be sent to John M. Tisa, P.O. Box 649, Cedarville, NJ 08311.
For information on this event, contact Eric at (609) 314-8546 or John "Bubba" McKie at (609) 417-8546.
They are both members of the Defenders Motorcycle group, a group known for doing charity work and presenting a positive image of motorcycle groups.
The group was part of a Poker Run for Boobie Zappers, a group dedicated to fighting breast cancer. Both of McKie's parents died of cancer.
"This is a way of making the public more aware," McKie said. "I have friends who have worked with John and Tammy for a long time."
The last Poker Run ended at the Toad Fish, and when McKie went to present the check, the Toad Fish manager asked him to return for this weekend's event.
McKie said there is no dollar amount in mind for this weekend's event.
"The manager asked us to, and John and his son were open to it," McKie said. "We're going to do what we can this year, and hope to improve on that next year, and then improve on it again until (the problem is over)."

The Silver Lake-led bidding group has lined up debt financing from at least four major banks and is negotiating a final price to pay Dell shareholders, people familiar with the matter have said.
Should the buyout talks collapse, Dell could still choose to borrow itself and embark on a large share repurchase, in what investors and analysts refer to as a "Plan B".

The main form of local public transport, the colectivo, departs one block south of the bus station in Jiménez to Carate ($10), twice daily (except Sundays in the dry season) at about 6am and 1.30pm. Note that it's an achingly bumpy drive and involves the careful negotiation of at least half a dozen small (and in the rainy season not so small) rivers. The colectivo will drop you off at any of the lodges between Jiménez and Carate, and will also pick you up on its way back to town if you arrange this in advance – ask the driver. If you don't get a place on the truck, a number of local taxi drivers have 4WDs. The colectivo also heads to Bahía Drake on Mondays and Fridays at noon (less frequently in the wet season) but confirm the times at CafeNet el Sol or at the El Tigre supermarket. Note that Puerto Jiménez has the only petrol station on the entire Península de Osa, so be sure to fill up before you leave.

Local News
By Guillaume Doane
In front of a three-person panel of Caltrans representatives, an assembly of 100 Montecito and Santa Barbara residents last week made impassioned pleas to reopen a segment of Sycamore Canyon Road that has been closed to motorists for nearly a year and a half. Residents said the winding, tree-flanked road serves as a helpful escape route in the event of a summer fire.
"Fire season is now, fix that thing now," said Mike Wilson, a nearby resident. "A temporary solution is OK. Have something in place immediately."
The comments by more than 20 speakers were aired at El Montecito Church during a June 29 town hall meeting sponsored by the Montecito Association and Assemblyman Pedro Nava (D-Santa Barbara), who arrived an hour late and had little participation. The two-hour talks involved officials from six agencies – from the Montecito Fire District to the County First District office – and were meant to provide answers to the public about the closure and imminent repair.
Caltrans first closed the road in January of last year during a two-week stint of heavy rains that provoked a massive hillslide, smothering a 100-yard portion of pavement. Saying problems with the roughly 40-foot eastside hill originated in 1998, Caltrans crews closed the segment of roadway and immediately performed remediation work. They later found a "fairly deep-seated slide" in the hill, determined the area was too dangerous for vehicles, and estimated repairs would involve one to two years of work.
"There is no simple solution to this problem. The repairs are going to require a massive amount of work," said Janet Wong, a Caltrans lawyer who fielded the majority of questions and criticisms.
Wong said the State would contract a private construction company to complete repairs. But because the matter is wrapped up in an almost finalized lawsuit settlement between a private individual and the State, Wong said she was unable to say what company would do the work and how much it would cost.
Wong added that residents should feel relieved because "private industry can move a lot faster than government."
But neighbors were dissatisfied with the limited information they were receiving and they grew more irritable as the proceedings went on. Chris Kroes, an attorney hired by Ranchito Vista Road residents Gerrie Shapiro and Stuart Miller to acquire answers, sternly criticized Caltrans as uncooperative in its release of information and evasive in its responses.
"The message that this sends to me is that the only way the public can obtain answers is through a lawsuit," Kroes said.
Some speakers charged that Caltrans's initial remediation work only further damaged the hillside. Others said the long period of closure endangers their welfare. "This has dropped our property values," said neighbor David Jacobs. "I don't think it's fair that we're being shafted."
Residents stood united on the notion of reopening the road. Some suggested the opening be during fire season and others offered leaving one lane open. But neighbors failed to get the backing of local emergency officials, who said motorists should adapt to the current reroutes.
In the event of a summer blaze, motorists stuck east of the closure have two evacuation options: to go east on Sycamore Canyon toward Cold Spring School or west on Stanwood Road, a hilly tree-shaded patch of terrain that heads into Santa Barbara.
Though he sympathized with neighbors' worries, Montecito Fire Chief Ron McClain said a temporary reopening was unlikely and he encouraged the public to make appropriate precautions.
"The worst thing I can think of is that when a fire occurs people will be trapped and won't be able to get out," McClain said. "But as fire chief I have a lot of authority but not enough to tell the State to reopen the road."
First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal said he's contacted Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to speed up the repair process. "It's a problem that causes uncertainty, but it's something we're confident we can take care of," Carbajal said.
But Carbajal promptly added that because Sycamore Canyon is a state byway, "the County has only a minor role in" finding a solution.
Caltrans representatives said when repairs begin, their office will have no oversight or authority over the hillside. The announcement left some attendees of the meeting questioning where they would get their answers.
Before press time and on the eve of the Village Fourth Parade and Celebration, MJ's "Eye on Montecito" writer and artist John Watson notified us saying he wouldn't be revealing his four mystery answers on July 4. He said due to a clerical error, his presentation wouldn't be ready.
In the four past issues, Mr. Watson has reported on various county landmarks and left mystery questions on each of them. The answers follow:
1. The mailbox that appeared in Issue # 12/10 under the headline "Craftsmanship Versus Machine-Made" graces the entrance to El Mirador on Cold Spring Road.
2. The man buried in the "larger than life" mausoleum was Russel Heath, a once prominent lawyer, district attorney and member of the State Assembly. Watson's original article on this subject appeared in the # 12/11 issue under the headline, "Live Large, Die Larger."
3. Famed architect Reginald Johnson (Biltmore Hotel, Music Academy of the West's Mira Flores building) quit the architecture business and became one of the original founders of the Los Angeles Citizen Housing Council. In "Eye on Montecito" issue # 12/12, Watson includes a watercolor of the Mira Flores building and expands on Johnson's career.
4. The Arlington Theatre is one of Santa Barbara's most recognizable buildings, but few people know it from every angle, Watson asserts. The building, which combines modern abstraction with traditional Spanish architecture elements, is the answer to Watson's fourth and final mystery. Watson's article on the Arlington can be found online in Journal archives ("Eye on Santa Barbara" issue # 12/13) at www.montecitojournal.net.

MARQUETTE- It's that time of year again when the ringing of bells fills the air as the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign kicks off for the 2013 season.
The campaign started Nov. 11 and will run through noon on Christmas Eve. The Salvation Army is currently in need of volunteers willing to be bell ringers. Right now the schedule for bell ringing is wide open, said Capt. Cappy Moore of the Marquette Salvation Army.
"There's a lot of availability. We haven't had a lot of people sign up," Moore said. "We really need people to help cover our top four spots, which are the two doors at Walmart, Super One and Econo Foods. Friday and Saturday are great days, but any day of the week is helpful."

There are 10 locations in Marquette for people to volunteer. These include both doors at Walmart, Super One, Econo Foods, JC Penney, Kohls, Valles, both doors at Shopko, Walgreens, Big Lots and Jack's in Harvey. To volunteer as a bell ringer, a person must be 16 years old or older.
"If anybody younger wants to bell ring they can have their parents sign up and go with them," Moore said. "Children are welcome on the sites, it's just that they need to have an adult supervise them."
The goal this year is set at $100,000. Last year the goal was also set at $100,000 but the Red Kettle Campaign raised about $96,500. So the Salvation Army of Marquette is hoping to top $100,000 this year, Moore said.
"It's the Salvation Army's main fundraiser. It's pretty much the only fundraiser we do all year long," he said. "Just an hour commitment during the Christmas season can help us meet the needs of people throughout the whole year."
The donations go toward general operations. According to Moore, if the Salvation Army raises more than just its basic monthly expenses, some of it will be applied to its deficit, which is about $500,000.
"The donations help us keep the lights on, the doors open, food on the shelves to give out to hungry families and our lunch program continuing to run and feed hungry people Monday through Friday," he said.
To sign up for a shift, go to samarquette.org, pick a store and then pick a time and day. All of the equipment needed to bell ring will be waiting at the location for a person to use. Shifts are a minimum of an hour long. The schedule starts at 10 a.m. and goes until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
For more information on the Red Kettle Campaign or how to bell ring contact Moore at 458-5964.

The Arts Council of Baton Rouge celebrated its 14th annual Laurel Street Palooza on Jan. 10, honoring Jim Brandt and Mary Ann Sternberg as the King and Queen Palooza. Scores of attendees munched on bite-sized samplings from participating restaurants while listening to live music and dancing in the street.
During a short presentation, Eric Holowacz, who accepted the job as Arts Council CEO and president in 2013 and moved his family here from Australia, thanked Baton Rouge for welcoming him and his family to the city with open arms.
"I had no idea what a cultural feast Baton Rouge would be," Holowacz said. "Thank you for welcoming me with such grace and warmth and undeniable creative goodness."
Holowacz continued to praise Mayor-President Kip Holden, who he called the "most visionary arts-friendly mayor in this country."
Holden presented Sternberg and Brandt to the gathered crowd, and in turn thanked them for their commitment to the Baton Rouge arts community, which garnered them the king- and queen-ship for the evening.
This year's "not-so-secret" dance surprise party began immediately after the presentation to the tune of Norwegian duo Ylvis' "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say)."

T. J. Bogdan (High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research)
On 21 May 1940, Annie S. D. Maunder mailed the original drawing of the celebrated ``Maunder Butterfly Diagram" to Stephen A., and his daughter Margaret L., Ionides. Later that same year Stephen and Margaret gave the diagram ``on indefinite loan" to Walter Orr Roberts, then the Superintendent of Fremont Pass Station of the Harvard College Observatory. The framed diagram remains on display today at the scion of that organization, the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Boulder Colorado.
Drawing upon the original correspondences, this contribution recounts the story behind the travels of the ``Maunder Butterfly" during the second World War.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

The K Fair is the biggest plastics show in the world. More than 3,100 exhibitors fill 19 halls in the Messe Center in Düsseldorf, Germany. It's been held every three years since the first exhibition in 1952, and I've been to all of the fairs except one since 1986. That's a lot of wurst und alt.
The main purpose for launching the K in 1952 was to convince the public that this "kunst" "stoffe", or synthetic material, should be considered in a positive way. In many ways, it seems like the K is still like that. In almost every hall there is some kind of a sign that some new plastic is "environmentally friendly" or provides great benefits to modern life. In a way, it is still a PR statement because on weekends German families pour into the show (after paying a special admission fee) to pick up barrels, hula hoops, cups, and whatever else is being used to demonstrate new tools, machines or resins.
The plastics industry certainly has been good to Germany. It's a huge industry here. One of three exhibitors, understandably, is from Germany, occupying 73,312 square meters of floor space. The Germans really dominate in machinery and tooling, occupying two-thirds of the floor space in those halls. German manufacturers specialize in the most technical and advanced systems. The U.S. has fared less well. There are only two locations left in the USA that even make injection molding machinery: Milacron in Batavia, OH and Engel in York, PA. Engel, of course, is an Austrian company. And Milacron, the last US manufacturer is suffering from a steep decline in US injection molding machine sales as production has moved to Asia. My apologies to Ross Perot, but the huge sucking sound went west, not south. The amount of floor space used by American exhibitors has held steady since K 2004, despite a weak US dollar, while the Asian exhibitors have grown by 38 percent. Even the German exhibit space has grown slightly.
The United States remains the most important plastic resins producer, but the American slice of the pie is declining as our longtime feedstock advantage has eroded. New capacity is exploding in Asia. American ownership of key players is declining, witnessed most recently by the sale of GE Plastics, one of the industry pioneers, to the Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corp. It's a good move for the Massachusetts-based business. Major public American companies are driven by shareholders who want predictable quarterly profit growth. That's not the nature of the plastics industry, which has been buffeted by ups and downs. And the feedstock advantage long-term may be shifting to countries such as Brazil, which can offer sugar cane as a source of the molecules needed to make basic plastics. When oil is more than $40 a barrel, sugar cane is less costly. And with oil above $90 a barrel, the Brazilians are sitting pretty. And as Dow executives affirmed here this week, corn is not a desirable plastics feedstock from a cost or environmental perspective.
The lesson Americans can learn here from the Germans is that our future is in technical specialization. And there are many promising signs of that, ranging from DuPont's impressive work on photovoltaic systems and nano technology to enterprising toolbuilders and molding specialists who are forming long-term relationships based on technical advantages.

There is literally no news today. Seriously, we just debated doing a post stating that David Duchovony switched agencies to WME (way to go guys!) it is so dead. But all for you we have come up with the typical holiday plan — movie list!!
Here are five awesome Thanksgiving movies. Watch them while in a food coma or blitzed tomorrow.
Home for the Holidays — Holly Hunter is kind of the greatest and is amazing playing an adulterous single mom in this wacky holiday romp. Also starring Robert Downey Jr., playing gay, Anne Bancroft, playing awesome, and Claire Danes as Hunter's petulant teen daughter. It'll be like reliving your day all over again.
The House of Yes — Tori Spelling is in this movie and really, really good. Who would've thunk it? The real star however is a mentally unbalanced Parker Posey eager to revisit her incestuous past with her brother while he is home for the holidays with his new gal. Family fun for all!
Hannah and Her Sisters — Dianne Weiss, Michael Caine and Woody Allen all won Oscars for this, perhaps the director's second most memorable film after Annie Hall. Affairs, drugs, Carrie Fisher — this movie has everything you could hope for this holiday season.
The Ice Storm — Christina Ricci plays the greatest pissed off teen of all time in this Ang Lee flick that, in our humble opinion, is even better than that gay cowboy movie. I mean the tent scene in Brokeback is nothing compared to Ricci giving Elijah Wood a blow job while wearing a Nixon mask. Also wonderful are Joan Allen as the frosty matriarch and Sigourney Weaver as a bored lover.
The Myth of Fingerprints — This little scene indie stars Julianne Moore, Blythe Danner and Hope Davis as a family that has got some issues. And, like all good families, they decide to let it all seep out on Thanksgiving! Bonus points for the genius way Roy Schneider convinces people he hunts and kills the family turkey every year.

Open mic fundraiser for North Bend's Nels Melgaard is Friday
The Sallal Grange's regular open mic night in March will be a fundraiser to help with medical expenses of Grange founder and 2011 Citizen of the Year, Nels Melgaard, from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 1, at the Grange Hall, 12912 432nd Ave. S.E., North Bend. Instead of traditional potluck dishes, participants are asked to bring appetizers and finger foods to enjoy during the evening.
All funds raised through donations will be given to the Melgaard family.
Nels Melgaard was named North Bend Citizen of the year in 2011. He is well known for his outstanding community service, including supporting the Mt Si Wildcats wrestling team, and in 2010, he spearheaded a group that re-chartered the Sallal Grange. "He is known as a man who does not seek out the spotlight for himself, and his actions exemplify a man of honor and integrity, a role model for youth and community action," Mayor Ken Hearing said, adding that he "is a non-stop supporter of youth activities, local music, community service organizations, and helping people in need."
Melgaard was the grand marshal at last year's Festival at Mount Si. Hearing asked the rest of the Valley to help the Melgaards. "Anyone who can should support him." There will be hot coffee and cold drinks available. More information can be found at www.sallalgrange.org, or by calling (425) 888-0825.

Cobble Hill Barneys Co-op to Open in September
Possibly during Fashion's Night Out.
Yesterday Barneys confirmed that a Co-op store would open in Cobble Hill. They expect it to open in the second week of September, possibly on Fashion's Night Out, which would mark at least one night and one place you're meant to be drunk and rowdy in that neighborhood. [tokny]

ALLEN PARK -- Some pro athletes pimp out their cribs with indoor bowling alleys. Others go for movie theaters or tennis courts or oversized garages.
Louis Delmas? He dropped $25,000 on a hyperbaric chamber, which delivers concentrated doses of oxygen to the bloodstream. And there's an electric stimulation machine, which sends currents through his body via small electrodes.
There's even an ice machine, like the ones in hotels.
"You walk into my house, you'll think I have a whole hospital in that bad boy," the Detroit Lions safety said.
Delmas is projected to start Sunday when Detroit opens the season against the Minnesota Vikings. But it has taken a whole lot of TLC to get him to this point.
The fifth-year player suffers from chronic knee pain, a condition the Lions were aware of when they drafted Delmas out of Western Michigan in 2009.
He played 15 games each of his first two seasons and became a fixture of the defense. But the past two years, the pain has caught up to him.
Delmas played 11 games in 2011, then just eight last year as he dealt with more issues in his left knee. Just how bad was it?
"There's no point in going into that category. It was pain," he said. "If anyone knows what kind of dude I am, they know I'd give my right arm to go out there and play with my left."
Delmas said he reached a low point when he realized his knee pain would ail him for the rest of his career.
"I grew up with the sport and the sport is my life," he said. "For me to not be able to play and sit out there on the sideline is really playing with my life after football or life and death, as far as how I look at it."
Delmas has begun taking better care of his body, which has helped improve his health. That includes investing $25,000 in an at-home hyperbaric chamber, which allows him to breathe 100 percent oxygen under increased pressure conditions.
That combination spreads oxygen deep into body tissues and promotes healing.
Delmas spends anywhere from a couple hours to a full night in the chamber, depending on when he enters it. He sometimes sleeps in it.
For Delmas, it's been money and time well spent. He woke up two weeks ago with no pain for the first time in a long time, giving him confidence in his body heading into this week's opener.
"To be honest with you, a couple weeks ago I didn't expect it to be as good as it now," Delmas said. "But my knee feels great right now. I'm feeling very confident about. I feel like it's my rookie year again and I'm very excited.
"About two weeks ago I finally woke up with no pain -- after icing it of course -- but I finally woke up with no pain and it was very stable. I'm very excited."
Delmas was always expected to be available for Week 1. The overarching concern is how many games he'll play after that. The risk of re-injury is great in a case like his.
Can he play 16?
"You be a damn fool if you're going to ask me if I can play 16 games. I'm going tell you I can!" Delmas exclaimed. "Now whether that happens, who knows. The way I'm feeling right now, I can go 16. But you never know. I can trip and fall on my ankle and get a sprained toe.
"So you never know. But my goal right now is to play 16, and 17 if we go to the playoffs."

We take a deeper look into one of running's most stubborn injuries.
Are you amongst the running wounded? You're likely suffering from one of these annoying injuries.
Plantar fasciitis can be a painful injury, but there are plenty of ways to fix it.
This is a great way to help identify Achilles, plantar and other lower leg/foot issues.
Kelly O'Mara, like many runners, is all too familiar with the pain associated with plantar fasciitis.
Dr. Jordan Metzl discusses the problem of plantar fasciitis, a pesky and painful heel injury that plagues many runners.
The right kind of self treatment can help you knock out this annoying injury.
He is happy to be injury-free.

This week, both InformationWeek and Baseline have feature stories about new technology at Delta Air Lines, so it's a good opportunity to benchmark Baseline, a new IT magazine from Ziff Davis, to its old school press-release republishing counterparts.
The difference: while the InformationWeek article is just a poor rewrite of bland warmed-over press releases and vague generalizations, the Baseline article is detailed, interesting, and specific. For example Baseline noticed that Delta's new information system crashed for two hours at the worst time possible: when I was in New Orleans trying to reschedule my flight home during last month's blizzard. InformationWeek didn't mention the outage. In fact the whole Baseline article looks like it was written by an investigative journalist. It's about time the industry press got its act together. Go for the free subscription, it's worth it.

Nearly two-dozen families are looking for new homes after their apartment building caught fire in Anne Arundel County on Sunday.
The blaze broke out around 6 p.m. in the 2000 block of Military Place in Odenton.
"When I came over, I saw the explosion of the flames coming from the upper level, which is the third floor, and the fire was explosive," one witness told 11 News. "You've got people who've lost a lot, but the good thing is that no one lost lives here."
Fire officials said no one was injured. They're not yet sure what sparked the blaze, but neighbors said it might have been someone grilling on their apartment patio.
