NLRB Allows Northwestern Football Athletes To Unionize
(Evanston, IL) -- College sports could become unionized. The National Labor Relations Board is giving the go ahead to Northwestern University football players and the College Athletes Players Association to form a union and negotiate benefits. The NLRB says scholarship players aren't primarily students because of the amount of time dedicated to football. It added that the school failed to justify denying scholarship football players employee status. Northwestern issued a statement saying student-athletes are not employees and unionization and collective bargaining aren't appropriate ways to address their concerns. The university plans to appeal the decision.
The players petitioned for union status in January, seeking scholarships that cover the full cost of attending school, guaranteed scholarships for players who are injured or otherwise can't play and incentives to help players finish their degrees.

The GOP's Primary Plot Shakeup
The national Republican Party is considering a number of major changes to its presidential nominating process to avoid a repeat of the debacles of 2012, according to several party officials.
Most significantly, the party is considering holding a "Midwestern primary" featuring Great Lakes states such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota that would come immediately after the votes in the traditional early primary states. Also being weighed and thought likely to be approved when the Republican National Committee meets in early 2014 is a plan to shorten the primary season considerably by holding the party's convention in July, almost as soon as the last primary ballots are cast.
The move toward a "Midwestern Super Tuesday" after the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida appears aimed in part at wresting control of the nominating process from social conservatives in the South in an effort to produce a nominee more likely to carry the election in November. Nearly all the "Rust Belt" states have fallen into Democratic hands in recent elections, and GOP officials believe that showering them with more resources throughout the primary process—and ensuring that an eventual nominee is broadly popular there—could flip the Midwest into the Republican column in November.
"The idea here is to try to recapture an area of the country that Republicans have simply not been able to carry," said one GOP insider familiar with the plans.
Plus, the Midwestern states are relatively expensive places to mount a campaign, and bunching them together on one day would likely cost candidates less, as they could focus all their resources on one section of the country for an extended period of time, as opposed to campaigning in Michigan one week, Ohio a few weeks later, and Wisconsin a month after that.
"These are big electoral prizes. They matter," said one state GOP chairman. "You have to spend a ton of money in them. It's a region where you win or lose the primary."
The plan, however, is not likely to sit well with state chairs and committee members from Southern states who would be pressured to keep out of the "Midwestern primary."
"I don't know that there is much appetite for it," said John Padgett, the Republican Party chairman from Georgia. "We would not be in favor of having Georgia cut out. I don't know that there will be any change."
Bill Armistead, chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said his state moved its primary up in 2012 to gain a greater say in the primary process and would not want that influence diminished.

Listen to Demi Lovato on iHeartRadio

The show's Naya Rivera is dishing about the pop star's role to "MTV," saying Demi's character, Dani, will be playing her character Santana's "love interest." Rivera jokes that "Glee" is "bringing her to the dark side."
It's already been confirmed that Demi's character will be interacting mostly with Santana and Rachel, played by Lea Michele, as she plays a struggling artist in New York City who befriends the girls.
"E! News" reports that one of the songs Demi and Naya will be singing is the Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun."
The former Disney star has tweeted that she will start shooting this week and is excited to be returning to acting. The new season of "Glee" premieres on September 26th.

Nets force game 7 with win over Bulls
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Barclays Center will host a Game 7 in its inaugural season after the Brooklyn Nets escaped Chicago with a 95-92 win over the short-handed Bulls on Thursday to force a deciding game in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Deron Williams scored 17 points, handed out 11 assists and won a jump ball against Joakim Noah in the closing seconds of Game 6 to seal the victory.
Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson also netted 17 points apiece while Gerald Wallace had 15 for the Nets, who forced the series back to Brooklyn for Saturday's Game 7 despite shooting 28 percent from the field in the second half.
"It comes down to one game, and I feel like we have a pretty good chance with it being on our home floor," Johnson said. "We'll be ready."
The Bulls were playing without starting point guard Kirk Hinrich for the second straight game because of a calf injury, while their leading scorer during the regular season, Luol Deng, was sidelined due to flu-like symptoms.
Nate Robinson and Taj Gibson were also slowed with the flu, but played through as the Bulls squandered a second chance at advancing to the conference semis.
Robinson put in 18 points, Noah and Carlos Boozer each recorded double-doubles and Marco Belinelli led Chicago with 22 points over 46-plus minutes. Belinelli, though, missed a potential tying 3-pointer on Chicago's final possession.
"We wanted to close it out...but we're playing against a very talented group," Noah said. "It's disappointing."
The Nets ran away with Game 5 in their own building but had to claw one out at United Center even though Chicago was clearly winded down the stretch. The Bulls' last lead came with 2:31 remaining in the first quarter, and they trailed by as many as eight in the fourth.
A Robinson jumper capped an 8-2 run that cut the deficit to 85-83 with 4:36 to play, and it stayed a close game the rest of the way.
With Chicago trailing 92-90, Robinson missed a wild runner and Boozer was whistled for his sixth foul going after the rebound with 32 seconds left. After Andray Blatche split a pair from the stripe, seldom-used Nazr Mohammed laid in a quick two off a nice feed from Noah, and Blatche drained two big free throws for a three-point Nets lead with 19.2 ticks on the clock.
Belinelli grazed the rim with a 3-point attempt from the left wing, and Noah chased down the loose ball before stepping out of bounds with 6.3 seconds left. Noah tied up Williams along the sideline on the ensuing inbounds, resulting in a jump ball. The toss was knocked towards Johnson, who tipped the ball to himself and was able to dribble out the clock.
"We kept fighting...but sometimes the ball doesn't go your way," Gibson said.
A back-and-forth first quarter ended with Lopez putting in his ninth and 10th points from the foul line for a 33-27 Nets lead.
The Bulls had a chance to pull even or go ahead late in the second, only to have Robinson turn the ball over. It was Chicago's sixth giveaway in the quarter, and Williams answered with eight points, highlighted by a four-point play, on a 10-2 run that extended Brooklyn's lead to 60-50.
Belinelli scored the last points of the half to pull Chicago within 60-54, but the Bulls never got over the hump in the third quarter despite the Nets missing 12 straight shots over a seven-minute span.
Both teams shot over 53 percent from the field in the first half, but the third quarter saw a combined 24 percent shooting as the Nets limped to the fourth holding a 75-71 advantage.
Game Notes
The Nets are 7-0 all-time in playoff series when holding homecourt advantage ... When holding a 3-2 lead, the Bulls are 13-1 all-time -- the one series loss coming in the 1974-75 Western Conference finals against Golden State ... Noah and Boozer each scored 14 points to go with 15 and 13 rebounds, respectively ... Reggie Evans led Brooklyn with 15 boards ... Chicago committed 16 turnovers to the Nets' 10.

Adam Lambert believes Freddie Mercury would approve of Queen collaboration
Listen to Queen on iHeartRadio
Adam Lambert says there's no way he could possibly replace Freddie Mercury in Queen. But the "American Idol" finalist says he believes Freddie would "be down" with him fronting the group.
He says surviving Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May have "been really cool" about telling him Freddie Mercury stories to help him understand "the kind of guy" Freddie was. Adam adds that Roger and Brian continually tell him that he and Freddie "would have gotten such a kick out of each other" and "probably would have made each other laugh" -- which Lambert considers to be "quite a compliment."
But Adam admits "there will only be one Freddie Mercury," and that there's "really no comparing." He says that as Queen's frontman he's not attempting to be Freddy, but is "just trying to kind of pay tribute."
Lambert will join Queen for the band's set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival later this month. The two-day event will take place in Las Vegas on September 20th and 21st.

As a Media Composer editor, one of the more annoying aspects of titling is that every time we want to make a change to a title in our timelines, we have to wait for the Title Tool to launch, before we can make our changes. This can be an especially annoying task if you need to adjust 20 titles in a credit sequence.

What's Your Mobile Vision – And How Can You Realize It?
There's no question that the mobile channel is becoming increasingly important to insurance companies. More than 60% of respondents to Novarica's recent Mobile in Insurance study said they were planning to add new mobile capabilities in 2013. But how many of these implementations will gain traction with customers, distributors and employees? There are tremendous opportunities – including claims submission, premium payments, policy information access and prospecting -- around mobility in insurance, but to capitalize on them insurers need a cost-effective and scalable strategy for developing robust mobile apps and providing a consistent experience to all constituents across multiple devices and channels. How can insurers gain the mobile advantage?
This free, one-hour webinar, hosted by Insurance & Technology editorial director Kathy Burger, will help insurers take advantage of some of the best practices in mobile strategy:
- Develop a multi-channel strategy that benefits customers and the bottom line.
- Manage device and OS fragmentation.
- Test for reliability, accessibility and performance.
- Address the needs of different constituencies (policyholders, prospects, agents, etc.).
- Ensure customer acceptance and use.
- Comply with security and privacy requirements.
Participating in this webinar will help you learn what goes into a winning mobile implementation and how using a single code base approach can help your organization speed development and cost effectively deploy and maintain apps across multiple channels.

KISS tribute album leads to KISS all-star tribute group
Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal has a new gig. He's teamed up with former Pantera bassist Rex Brown, ex-Whitesnake drummer Brian Tichy, and Kill Devil Hill guitarist Mark Zavon to form A.L.I.V.E - an all-star tribute group honoring the '70's era KISS. Brown says it stems from their involvement in the upcoming KISS tribute album, A World With Heroes.
He explains that as they worked on their songs for the charity project, they discovered they shared a passion for the band - especially their early material. As a result, they've decided to extend their collaboration - and their musical salute to KISS - beyond the record.
A.L.I.V.E. has two shows coming up later this month. They'll be performing in Hollywood on July 24th, and in Las Vegas on July 25th. The concerts will feature performances of the KISS albums "Alive" and "Alive 2," along with the band members' favorite KISS tracks.
Don Dokken, Vinny Appice, Great White's Terry Ilous, and Lita Ford are just some of the many other artists taking part in A World With Heroes. The 40-track, two-disc set celebrates the 40th anniversary of KISS, and is raising money for cancer hospice care. Additional details on the album are available at PledgeMusic.com.

NSA Chief: Surveillance Has Helped Prevent "Dozens" Of Terrorist Attacks
(Washington, DC) -- The head of the National Security Agency says government surveillance programs have helped prevent "dozens" of terrorist attacks. In a Senate hearing, General Keith Alexander talked briefly about the controversy over government surveillance and NSA data mining. He noted that the NSA is compiling figures on exactly how many terror plots have been disrupted.
Alexander said he wants the agency to be as transparent as possible in the growing public debate over national security threats and privacy rights. He insisted that the NSA strives to do the right things to protect the U.S. from terrorist attacks, within the law and with the consent of a special federal court.

Art for Art's Sake:
Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation
Art for Art's Sake was the rallying cry of the 19th-century Aesthetic Movement, which believed that art should be enjoyed for its pure visual qualities. This exhibition reexamines this concept in a group of contemporary artists whose art focuses on sumptuous beauty and pure visual effects. Works by Mark Chariker, Iva Gueorguieva, Ali Smith as well as a number of artists who have resided or currently reside in Las Vegas including David Ryan, Tim Bavington, Brian Porray (born in LV), Thomas Burke, Yek and Jason Adkins allow us to revive Whistler's ideal that art should "appeal solely to the artistic sense of the eye."
These contemporary artists are diverse, but they are united in their use of both objective systems and subjective feelings to create art that celebrates sumptuous beauty and pure visual effects.
This exhibition is curated by Billie Milam Weisman, director of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.
Funding has been provided by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.

Jurassic Park-esque Find: Blood-Filled Mosquito Fossil
(NEWSER) – OK, so the mosquito is only 46 million years old—too recent to have sucked dinosaur blood. But for the first time in history, scientists have found a fossilized skeeter that's still got a belly full of blood, harkening back to the plot of Jurassic Park, the Smithsonian points out. The specimen was actually found by a grad student, Kurt Constenius, 30 years ago in northwestern Montana, but it spent the intervening years in a basement; until now, no one had quite realized its significance.

Original Message
Ok,this event has stuck with me over the years and I have thought about it nearly every day since it happened. I would definitely consider it top 3 weirdest things that have ever happened to me.
My dad was a Secret Service agent (recently retired) and because of this, I was "privileged" enough to meet a lot of our Presidents/V.P's/dignitaries/etc. None of the times I met any of them was very significant, except for this one:
We went to the White House Christmas Party in December of 2001. I was 18 or 19 at the time (my birthday is the 12th and I don't remember what day the party was), and was a recently converted Christian (I got saved at about 4am on 9/11/2001, but that is a different story). All of the families of the staff and secret service agents got to go to this party, and have their picture taken with President Bush and the First Lady, and we were all standing in line to go in for the picture, before the dinner. The room where they were taking the pictures was a rather large meeting room with nothing in it besides a large Christmas tree, the Bush's, an aid or two and the photographers (and a few SS agents). When we were next in line to go into the room, I heard the President say my name from around the corner "Dan, where is Dan?", the way an uncle would say that before he saw you and then say "there he is" (my name is not Dan, changed for the story). Apparently, (I am assuming this because I have never asked him) my dad told the aid that was taking us into the room my name, and she told the President, and he just said that to try and be affable or friendly or whatever.
I thought right off the bat that was weird because my two brothers were there too, but he only said my name, so I am not sure why my dad only told him my name (if in fact my dad told the aid that).
As we walked around the corner into the room, that is when things took a terrible turn. As I rounded the corner my eyes scanned the room, the first thing I noticed was Laura Bush, smiling, warm and friendly looking. Then I saw President Bush, who, once again said "which one is Dan?" smiling his goofy smile. My dad introduced me first, because he was asking for me, and I will never forget what happened next. His face went from a kidding-around, smiling, joking demeanor to hard and frowning in an instant. The best way I could describe his reaction was if someone introduced you to a person as "here is the person that killed your father". The smile dropped immediately. His face went from friendly and jesting to anger, disgust and almost a "I can't believe you let him in here" type of look. I felt my face flush as I shook his hand and smiled, but inside I wanted to run away as fast as I could. He didn't say a word to me, just stared me down. I have never felt as awkward in my entire life as I did at that moment, and so out of place. The rest of my family shook his hand and his smile and joking manner returned, and I am almost positive that no one else saw what happened, because if they did I am sure they would have said something about it by now. As we walked out of the room I looked back over my shoulder (I was almost in a state of shock at this point) and he was staring at me with that same death-look on his face. We went back into the dining hall and finished dinner, and the whole time it was all that I could think about. "What just happened?!" "Was that real?!" "Did he see some kind of evil in me?!" type questions poured through my thoughts over and over.
Also that night, George H.W. Bush came to the dinner for just a second, said hi, and left. But as he was leaving, he went over to my brother and rubbed his shaved head, making my brother turn a beet-red color and all of the people standing around laughed hysterically. I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so shaken up by what just happened to me. Instead, I just sat in silence the rest of the night, completely disoriented as to what took place.
Looking back on the whole thing I still have tons of questions that I cannot come up with answers to, like:
If my dad didn't tell him my name, how did he know it?
If my dad did tell him, why did he just tell him my name?
Why did his look/demeanor/everything about him change so violently?
Did my family notice? If so, why have they never said anything about it?
Assuming it did happen like I remember it (which if it didn't I am officially crazy), what does it mean!?!?!
Is it possible that he saw in me something that triggered him to know that I would discover the truth about the NWO,9/11, etc?
Did it have anything to do with me being a Christian? I have read how the devils knew who Jesus was, and even one said "Paul we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?"
Is it possible that it was a demon-type situation that recognized a child of God and got offended?
At the time, I thought he was a stand-up guy, that was a Christian and was going to save our nation from the terrorists that did the attacks on our soil. I know now the truth about 9/11 (I found Loose Change in 2006 and have been researching it since then), and that he was likely a big part of the attacks, not the one to save us from them. Like I said, I think about this nearly every day and still have more questions than answers. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it, anyone else have similar experiences or any insight into what happened to me? Thanks for reading GLP, you guys rock!

Dolly Parton defends Miley Cyrus
Listen to Dolly Parton on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Dolly Parton thinks the haters need to lay off her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.
The country music legend, who recently joked about twerking and her "wrecking balls" during a "Queen Latifah Show" rap, tells the London Evening Standard that the controversial Cyrus is "just trying to find her own place."
"I've loved her through the years and watched her grow up, and I've seen how smart she is and how talented she is," Parton says of Cyrus.
She adds, "I don't think people really realize yet what a great singer and writer she really is."
The older performer says she doesn't give Cyrus direct professional advice.
"She's just trying to find her own place and wings and learn to fly," says Parton. "If she needs my opinion on something I will surely give it and there have been times we've talked."
Parton trusts Cyrus' instincts.
She explains, "I know that she has thought this all through. We'll let her go and do her own thing."
"It's not easy being young. It's hard to know what to do," says Parton. "You've almost got to sacrifice your damn soul just to get anything done."

Report: Jennifer Lopez to return to 'Idol' panel
Listen to Jennifer Lopez on iHeartRadio
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly back on board for the 13th season of "American Idol."
While Fox has yet to confirm the reports, sources tell "Us Weekly" it's a done deal. Earlier this month, Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly confirmed that the network was indeed in talks to bring Lopez back while also confirming country crooner Keith Urban's return. There's still no word on a third judge.
Lopez served as judge for two seasons of "Idol" in 2011 and 2012. The show's last season included Urban, Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on the panel. Jackson announced his exit in May. Carey and Minaj followed suit shortly after.
Auditions for the 13th season of "American Idol" are currently under way.

Congress Gets an 'F' on Student Loan Crisis
Starting Monday, 7 million college students will be forced to pay thousands of dollars more on their loans.
That is, unless Congress passes a bill preventing interest rates on these loans from doubling.
Fat chance.
While you were refreshing SCOTUSBlog or celebrating the death of DOMA, Congress has been trying and failing to prevent interest rates on federal Stafford loans—the most popular form of college funding—from increasing from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
The increase will affect an estimated 7 million students who plan to take or renew loans after July 1. It could force those students to pay as much as $3,834 in additional interest payments over a 10-year period. Congress can still pass retroactive legislation stopping the increase after July 1, but not before causing significant uncertainty for students. The 37 million Americans who are still paying off existing loans won't be affected.
"Why are we making it more difficult for kids to start their lives by putting them in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt before they're 25?" asks Jasmine Flores, who is starting college in the fall and is livid that she's facing down more burdensome loans even before she moves into her dorm.
Financial-aid experts are troubled by the likely increase and the congressional stalemate, but say that the student loan system in general is confusing for students and administrators and needs to be simplified.

Ed Sheeran reacts to Best New Artist Grammy nod
Listen to Ed Sheeran on iHeartRadio
Ed Sheeran is keeping himself humble after earning a Grammy nomination. After the nominees were announced on Friday, the British singer-songwriter was asked if he felt worthy.
Ed is nominated in the Best New Artist category this year, going up against Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, James Blake and Kasey Musgraves.
He's also getting credit for his work on Taylor Swift's Red, which is nominated for Album Of The Year. Ed says he enjoyed being involved on Red, but winning Best New Artist would "mean more" to him personally, because Taylor's album wasn't "technically [his] project."
He adds that Best New Artist is "a good landmark to have for a British dude coming here for the first year." It isn't Ed's first time as a Grammy hopeful, however. Last year, his breakout song "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year.

Roger Daltrey says The Who isn't retiring
Listen to The Who on iHeartRadio
The Who's Roger Daltrey says the band's announced plans for a farewell tour doesn't mean the group is coming to an end - or that they'll stop performing.
The singer tells Billboard.com the upcoming trek will simply be the band's last extended road trip. Daltrey explains that "the grind" of "schlepping" themselves from city to city every day is exhausting, and they have to be realistic about their age.
But he says they still love performing for an audience, and will continue to play shows. Roger explains that The Who has always been there for charity shows, and they might do extended two-to-three-week engagements. He adds that they're also considering other "more experimental" things as well.
Last week guitarist Pete Townshend told the UK's "Evening Standard" that The Who would be retiring from the road following a final 50th anniversary trek in 2015. He added that on the tour he wanted to visit places The Who has never performed before.

Union publishes names of members who opted-out in 'Freeloaders List'
Michigan workers who exercise their right to opt-out of union membership are publicly scolded for their disloyalty by Operating Engineers Local 324, which publishes their names and places of employment in a quarterly "Freeloaders List."
Michigan became the 24th right-to-work state in 2012, granting workers the option to quit union membership and cease paying dues. Many workers who either don't feel adequately represented or disagree with their union's liberal politics made the choice to quit.
But at least one union, Local 324, has responded by publishing the names of those who left the union in its quarterly report. The implication of the "Freeloaders List" is that workers who exercised their legal rights not to be affiliated with the union are somehow traitors. The list includes 19 names.
The Daily Caller published a redacted version of the list. The actual list, as it appears in the Local 324 publication, is not redacted.

Wisconsin Golf Course's Bad Move: 9-11 Special
News of the offer spread on social media and the golf course's Facebook page was overrun with negative comments. Owner and general manager
"We're a little hurt by the fact that people are putting such a negative context on this," Watts said. "I thought people would appreciate it."
The promotion actually began two years ago, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks, and until now was warmly received as a way to ensure people never forget the tragedy, Watts said.
This year, after the newspaper ad circulated on social media, Watts said the club's phone has been ringing off the hook.
Watts apologized Monday night on Facebook and was personally fielding calls on Tuesday, saying there was no intention to cause offense. He said he may close the 20-year-old golf course Wednesday because of safety concerns.
This is not the first time that promotions tied to 9-11 have drawn criticism.

These are the gentleman's sport sandals that help combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a built-in, podiatrist-designed stabilizing orthotic footbed that realigns feet to a neutral position. The deep heel cups are molded into the sandals' comfortably soft, shock-absorbing, triple-density EVA footbeds, providing cushioning for the heel and forefoot while aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate-when the heel bone angles inward-a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. A medical study conducted by a panel of physicians confirmed that participants who wore the sandals experienced a decrease in pronation, improving their gait mechanics. The resilient Vibram outsoles are made from rubber molded with a slip-resistant pattern that grips most surfaces. The durable, flexible leather uppers secure the foot with fully adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners over the toes and top of foot for a custom fit; a heel strap keeps the sandals bound to the feet during outdoor activities. Black or Chocolate. Men's whole sizes 10-11. Medium width. (6 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Gentlemen's Plantar Fasciitis Sport Sandals come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Great for women too
By Maureen the Cyclist
from London Ontario Canada
I was very pleased that I have long feet for a woman so that I was able to buy this extremely comfortable men's sandal for cycling and walking. I just ordered a size down from the men's size. I'm a woman's 10 so that means I ordered a size 9. It fits beautifully. There is absolutely nothing comparable in the women's sports sandals for plantar fasciitis that can actually be used for activities like cycling and faster walking. I needed a sandal that was safe to cycle in and this one is just perfect. The men's sandal has a back to it which the women's does not. The back makes it extremely secure. The women's sport's sandal would be dangerous to cycle in because of the open back. It might be a good idea to create a sandal for women that could be used for cycling.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Great Sandal
By Gary in PA
from PA
Just Right, they stretch the tendon as you walk...
I Love Them! A+++++
By VA_Gent
from Richmond, VA
I wake up in the morning and my feet hurt. Shortly after putting these sandals on I totally forget about my feet and the Plantar Fasciitis. I'll be buying the tennis shoes soon.Now I said the strap chafes. There are pads that can get folded under and expose your foot to the strap rings. That can be a little uncomfortable, both because of the strap rings as well as the doubled over padding. Once I discovered what was happening they became much more comfortable.

Wow, best sandals ever!
By ChrisG
from Cincinnati, OH
I have plantar fasciitis and have struggled to find sandals that support my feet. These sandals give good arch support and are very comfortable. They fit true to size and don't slide around when I'm walking, they are by far the best sandals I've ever had. Ordering and shipping were easy and I know that Hammacher stands behind their products.
Great overall outdoor sandal

Looking for an all purpose outdoor sandal to replace my Teva's, that are no longer available. So far these fill the bill. Only had them two weeks but they feel great.
The best my feet have felt in a year

Good Buy for the Money
By efgum43
from Washington DC
They are very comfortable and well suited for my specific gait issues. I tend to swing my foot wide and so backless sandals or flip flops are not for me. These are more comfortable that the Keen sandals,which feel heavier to me.

BALTIMORE: They appeared overmatched, especially against a Baltimore Ravens offense that was much more balanced than they'd faced in recent years.
Yet it seemed as if the Browns were fighting to save their season Thursday night in M&T Bank Stadium. Amidst the negativity of an 0-3 start, an ineffective offense and the uncertain future under incoming owner Jimmy Haslam III, the Browns played as if determined to prove they all shouldn't be shown the door.
They found their only prime-time television appearance of 2012 to be the perfect forum.
Although the Ravens pulled out a 23-16 victory, the Browns' gutty play seemed a drastic improvement over Sunday's lackluster loss at home to the Buffalo Bills.
Yes, the outcome was the same for the winless Browns. Yes, when they closed the gap to 16-10 in the third quarter on a 51-yard field goal by Phil Dawson, they couldn't seize the night.
But in the final minute, they drove to the Ravens' 18 with a chance to tie.
"We've got to find a way to coach a few plays better and each guy's got to find a way to make one or two more plays and then we'll be over the top," Browns coach Pat Shurmur said afterward. "We're close in a lot of ways."
All night, there were flashes of talent from rookie defensive lineman Billy Winn and first-year linebacker Craig Robertson. There were flashes of brilliance from rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden and rookie running back Trent Richardson.
"I'm proud as hell of these guys," Weeden said. "It's a close-knit group. We battled, we came up short, but we fought our asses off."
Watching in person, Haslam may continue to be caught in an internal struggle, wondering what to do with such a young team -- blow it up or suffer through the growing pains?
Unlike the Bills' game, the moments to forget were offset by moments of promise.
In the second quarter, the Browns put together an 11-play, 94-yard drive that included a 43-yard catch by goat of the week Greg Little. In the fourth quarter, Little let a high ball that would have been a game-tying TD pass go through his hands at the goal line.
"If you want to be a great player, you want to be a great receiver, you want to make plays that people remember, that people name, that put you in position to come back, you make the play," Little said. Little caught four passes for 77 yards, but was targeted 10 times.
Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden, whose rollercoaster ride in the NFL found a valley on Sunday, seemed back on the rise, at least until 15 seconds remained in the third quarter. That's when Weeden tried to get the ball to rookie receiver Travis Benjamin on the sideline and was picked off by cornerback Cary Williams, who returned it 63 yards for a touchdown that gave the Ravens a 23-10 lead. It was the first interception of Williams' five-year career.
Before and after that, Weeden was much more in control. In the 94-yard drive, he completed 5 of 8 for 80 yards. In the third quarter, he directed a 53-yard drive to Dawson's first field goal. Although he missed a wide-open Little in the first quarter, he found Richardson for an 18-yard reception on the same play. He continued to spread the ball around, hitting nine receivers, and showed poise when it began to rain and when adversity struck.
Weeden was operating without his most reliable receiver, Mohamed Massaquoi, out with a hamstring injury, and his replacement Josh Cribbs, who suffered a concussion on a first-quarter punt return. In the second half, Weeden's receiving corps consisted of Little, Benjamin and Jordan Norwood, active for his first game of the season.
"He battled," Shurmur said of Weeden, who completed 25 of 52 for 320 yards with an interception and a 59.8 rating. "I think he made progress as a player tonight. But when you really make progress is when you lead your team to victory."
The Browns' pass rush, while inconsistent, also showed improvement with four sacks, their second-most of the season, and two more hits on Joe Flacco. Jabaal Sheard, who led the team with 8.5 sacks as a rookie, notched his first of the season. Winn, a sixth-round pick from Boise State, came through with five solo tackles and two tackles for losses.
The unknown Robertson, a North Texas product signed to the practice squad last Dec. 11, stopped Flacco's streak of 125 consecutive passes in the red zone without an interception in the first quarter.
"It's not about yards, it's about points," Shurmur said. "When you can intercept the ball in the end zone like that, you're accomplishing something we need to get done."
Then there is the incomparable Dawson, who hit field goals of 50, 51 and 52 yards against the Ravens and is 8 for 8 this season, four of them from 50-plus.
"He's a big part of this football team and he's very, very dependable," Shurmur said. "That's what you want in a player, guys who are passionate, productive and durable and he's all those."
Yes, the Browns are still wildly inconsistent. They couldn't come up with a big play on defense when within striking distance. Injuries and cornerback Joe Haden's suspension continue to leave them lacking in depth and talent, especially as they attempted to cover Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin, who caught nine passes for 131 yards. There seems no urgency in play-calling when they fall behind in the first three quarters, the no-huddle apparently lost on page 999 of an imaginary 1,000-page playbook. The Browns' bench drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 5:27 to go, which doesn't reflect well on Shurmur.
"It was on me," said Shurmur, who was protesting an intentional grounding penalty on Weeden. "Fortunately we had an opportunity on that drive to shoot a ball in the end zone or I would have felt worse about it. I can't do that. It's an emotional game and I've got to make sure I keep my emotions in check."
But the Ravens are expected to be Super Bowl contenders. The Browns didn't roll over as they had four days before. They rediscovered their pride, which seemed lacking in the second half against the Bills.
"There's going to be a lot of negative outside this locker room," Weeden said. "My goal is to keep this team united. We're all in this as one. My goal is to keep this group as close are we are right now and to continue to fight. We're a young team but we're making strides."
It has been an agonizing wait for the Browns to put it all together, with the setback against the Ravens their 10th consecutive loss dating back to last season. But against a supposedly vastly superior opponent, it finally seemed as if they have some pieces.
More on UA's 47-26 loss at Tennessee Saturday night.
COACH TERRY BOWDENTo read more or comment...
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.: About two months into his son Terry's tenure as the University of Akron football coach, Bobby Bowden considered the chances he'd have to see the Zips in person and figured a trip to Neyland Stadium would be feasible.
"They might even be able to win that one," the elder Bowden mused as he sat in his family room in Tallahassee, Fla., in February.
At the time, it seemed like wishful thinking from the legendary Bowden. But the 82-year-old came to the intimidating home of the Tennessee Volunteers Saturday night, sitting in the third row of UA's lone section with his wife Ann, to provide support. He'd spoken to his son's team in the afternoon.
The scoreboard read Tennessee 47, Akron 26. But no matter what it said, Bowden saw the Zips take a huge step towards legitimacy.
They played like they were oblivious to the fact they were 34-point underdogs.
With 2:14 left in the second quarter, the Zips led 23-20 after a 70-yard touchdown run by third-string tailback Quentin Hines, who was never touched. UT fans booed.
At halftime, the game was tied at 23. The crowd of 81,179, well below capacity of 102,455, seemed disgruntled. Even "Rocky Top" sounded a little less spirited.
UA served notice it meant business just 35 seconds into the game when cornerback Avis Commack, a senior transfer from Florida State, picked off UT quarterback Tyler Bray and returned the interception 44 yards for a score.
That seemed to wake up the Vols, perhaps as disinterested as the crowd considering the game was sandwiched between Southeastern Conference foes Florida and Georgia. But every time the Vols scored, the Zips had an answer, at least in the first two quarters.
Redshirt freshman kicker Robert Stein connected on three first-half field goals, including a career-long 45-yarder, and another early in the fourth.
UA junior cornerback Malachi Freeman, who is 5-foot-9, found himself in perhaps the biggest battle of his career with 6-foot-4 receiver Justin Hunter, who caught eight passes for 115 yards and a TD. Yet Freeman came up with several big pass breakups.
Zips quarterback Dalton Williams, the fifth-year senior transfer from Stephen F. Austin, continued to prove he's the perfect fit for Terry Bowden's quick-strike offense. Even when Williams missed wide-open receivers Jerrod Dillard and Marquelo Suel on UA's second offensive series, Williams kept his poise and moved the ball on the Volunteers. Suel notched a career-high 12 receptions.
Although they allowed 633 total yards, the Zips defense also showed fire and heads-up play. None moreso than senior linebacker Kurt Mangum, who alertly fell on UT running back Rajion Neal's fumble when sophomore safety Bre' Ford knocked it loose with 4:20 left in the first quarter. Neal was originally ruled down, but the play was reversed on a replay review.
That seemed to give the Zips' even more life. Even though the ensuing possession netted only 1 yard, Stein converted his 45-yarder.
UA wasn't doomed until it surrendered 17 points in a span of 5:54 in the fourth quarter.
"I'm not happy and I'm real disappointed, but I'm awful proud of our players for coming in here and not accepting the fact they're supposed to lose and accept a guarantee and go home," Terry Bowden said afterwards. UA received a guarantee of at least $850,000, according to director of athletics Tom Wistrcill. "We stood foot to foot with Tennessee and punched when they punched and weaved and bobbed and all those things.
"They just had too many weapons for us and too many skill people, we couldn't continue to match up with 'em."
Last week, Bowden put his folksy spin on the matchup between a team from the powerhouse SEC and his Mid-American Conference squad that had matched its 2011 win total with its first triumph of this season seven days before. He'd spent nearly six seasons coaching in the SEC at Auburn, where he went 47-17-1, but 0-2 against the Vols.
"They put their pants on the same way we do," Bowden said during the MAC teleconference Monday. "Of course, they have to split them up the back a little bit to get their legs in."
It was a good thing the Zips didn't see UT's walk-in. Even clad in suits, the Vols looked like an NFL team.
"We were playing from the short tees," Bowden said on the MAC teleconference in reference to previous week's foe Morgan State, which plays in what was formerly Division I-AA. "We've got to go back on the pro tees now."
Bowden knew he didn't have the athletes or the depth, but he got the Zips to believe.
"Every Saturday somebody upsets somebody. We have to go out with the mentality, 'Why not us?'" Bowden said going into the game.
That had already happened long before the Zips took the field as Central Michigan of the MAC upset Iowa. Then Western Michigan stunned Connecticut of the Big East for the second consecutive year.
Bowden told his team of the MAC brethren's feats and kept his foot on the accelerator with his aggressive play-calling. Even though his quarterback was playing with bruising below his ribs, Bowden allowed Williams to continue his aerial assault while mixing in the run. Williams came into this weekend tied for second in the nation in touchdown passes (10), matching the total of USC's Matt Barkley.
"He's played football his whole life for an opportunity to play at a place like this," Bowden said last week of Williams, a career backup until 2012.
Williams and the rest of the Zips got more inspiration when Bobby Bowden addressed them at 3 o'clock.
"We had a chapel service so a lot of it was spiritual, but he talked about them just doing the best they can," Terry Bowden said. "He talked about how Akron reminded him of when he went to Florida State. They were 0-11, 1-10 and 3-8 the three years before. All their big games were on the road. He had to play LSU five years on the road and two years at Ohio State. He talked about us and where he thought our program was starting to go. The kids really enjoyed it."
The outcome wasn't what either Bowden wanted. But it gave Terry Bowden hope that his rebuilding plan is working.
"I don't need reassurance, but in my mind the players really do," Bowden said. "They got beat 55-14 by Central Florida but gave up about 28 points in turnovers inside the 10. Maybe it should have been 38. The next week, FIU played Louisville down to the wire tonight, they had to come back in overtime to beat us. Then we dominate a I-AA team and we lasted about three quarters with Tennessee before they pulled away.
"I think our players are going to benefit. I don't think they're going to be down at all. But it does need to lead them to finishing teams off. We play conference teams that win these games a lot. But it will be a positive, there's not a doubt in my mind."
Bobby Bowden came to Neyland Stadium to witness what is essentially a two-fold reclamation project for UA football and for his son's career. If the Zips' effort Saturday night was any indication, both may be accomplished long before the proud papa ever dreamed.
After his No. 9-ranked Zips battled No. 10 St. John's to a 0-0 draw after 110 minutes, University of Akron soccer coach Caleb Porter called out a few of his players that he'd hoped would have a bigger impact in UA's tournament game Friday night at FirstEnergy Stadium.
"I was disappointed overall with the group in overtime," Porter said. "I wanted a little more, another level, another gear out of some of the key guys. Scott Caldwell is capable of doing better. He had a solid game, but we need him to step up and find a goal or an assist ... Thomas Schmitt.
"Eric Stevenson today for me was the man of the match. I thought he was a handful all game, but he still needs to produce. Renaldo (Brenes) I thought did well coming in in a tough situation, he hasn't played a lot, he did a pretty good jub with what we wanted him to do. I think we were missing Alfred (Koroma) a little bit, he gives that game-changer. We're not sure when he's going to be back. We hope he gets back soon."
The Zips (3-1-2) were playing without two starters. Junior Aodhan Quinn was out after being red-carded in UA's last match, a loss at Notre Dame. Freshman striker Alfred Koroma was hospitalized with a staph infection and Porter said his availability is uncertain for Sunday's match against No. 11 South Florida.
UA had a 9-7 edge in shots and 6-4 in corner kicks, but six of the Zips' shots came in the first half. They had only one in the two 10-minute overtimes, while St. John's (5-0-2) got off two in that span.
"Overall we need to create more," Porter said. "We wanted to be on the ball a lot. St. John's is a team that wants to push the tempo, keep us in our back half, press us and try to turn us over. I thought we did a pretty good job of breaking their pressure. We were the dominant team for most of the game."
Porter thought St. John's was at its best during a 10-minute stretch in the middle of the first half. He also believed the Redmen benefited from using five substitutes, while Porter played only two.
"They had some periods, I thought late they got a little stronger, they're a very fit team. They made quite a few subs, I think that helped them; we made very few subs," Porter said. "Other than (the middle of the first half) I thought we were clearly on the ball more and we ended up being in the front half.
"That's a credit to our guys, we basically played the game on our terms. I know St. John's likes to play the game on their terms. We won that battle. But we need to accelerate the game and penetrate a bit more."
Porter also criticized his team for its lack of precision.
"I thought at times our final passes, our precision in the key moments – be it find a slot pass or a better angle on a cross or having a little bit more bravery or courage to get on the end of something in the box – some of those details we could have done better," he said. "We had a couple chances that could have been goals, if we finish one of those we win the game."
But Porter believed the Zips benefited from the tough competition.
"We were playing a good team, St. John's is well coached, very organized, very fit," Porter said. "It felt like a tournament-caliber game, which is good. We've played several of those already and it forces you as a team to find another level. I thought we went toe-to-toe with them all game. I thought we had maybe the better of the flow on the possession, probably created more dangerous chances than they did; they had a few. Their goalkeeper came up big on a couple. We had enough to maybe find a goal
"In the end it's probably a fair result. We get a good RPI game out of it and a good result. If we're going to win these kind of games we have to find another gear, individually and collectively."
Zips sophomore defender DeAndre Yedlin was pleased that UA created more shots than St. John's.
"We just need to get that final shot, that final pass down and hopefully we would go up 1-0," Yedlin said. "It was a little disappointing we couldn't find a goal, but it's good that we were getting that many opportunities."
Former Browns Jim Brown, Paul Warfield, Bernie Kosar, Dick Ambrose, Doug Dieken, Robert Jackson and John Wooten were among those attending the funeral of ex-owner Art Modell in Baltimore Tuesday.
Also paying their respects to Modell, who died Thursday at age 87, were former coach Marty Schottenheimer, retired trainer Bill Tessendorf and equipment manager Ed Carroll, Modell's secretary Marilyn McGrath and Dino Lucarelli of alumni relations.
Dieken said no members of the Browns' front office attended, but that the team considered the players their representatives and paid for their airfare.
Dieken said Modell's son John twice referred to how much his father loved Cleveland during his eulogy and looked in their direction.To read more or comment...

Spygate II? Texans' Smith 'suspicious' about Patriots' halftime adjustments
On Sunday, the Texans were pushing the Patriots around the field in the first half. But, much like the Denver-New England game the week before, the Patriots made some halftime adjustments and ended up winning the game 34-31.
There are two possibilities here: that the Patriots are exceptionally good at changing game plans on the fly, or, as Texans defensive end Antonio Smith suggests, there's something "suspicious" going on.
"I'm very suspicious," Smith said to a group of reporters after the game. "I just think it will be a big coincidence if that just happened by chance. I don't know for sure, but I just know it was something that we practiced this week ... Either teams are spying on us or scouting us." Or possibly the Texans are a terrible football team, but we understand why Smith wouldn't take that explanation.
Smith said the team had practiced new defensive schemes this week that would not have shown up on film, but the Patriots appeared prepared for the new look. The Texans were up by 10 at halftime, but gave up 27 second-half points.
Tom Brady brushed off Smith's critique with the dismissiveness that he usually reserves for second-rate secondaries. "We've kind of been through a lot of this before," he told WEEI on Monday morning. "I don't really think much of it, truthfully. I just kind of have moved on."
Of course, the Patriots have "been through a lot of this before" during the first "Spygate" controversy. Back in 2007, the Pats were found to be taping the Jets during a September game, and the resulting firestorm and allegations even involved Congress. Belichick was fined $500,000, the Patriots were fined $250,000, and the team forfeited a first-round draft pick.

Department of Justice gives companies immunity from wiretapping law in exchange for 'private internet' surveillance
(Liz Klimas) As part of an expanding cybersecurity program, it has been revealed that the Department of Justice quietly gave some Internet service providers immunity from violations of wiretapping laws, allowing them to intercept communications in the name of protecting critical infrastructure.
CNET received more than 1,000 pages of internal government documents from Electronic Privacy Information Center, revealing confidential discussions called the "2511 letters."
This is a reference to Section 2511 in the wiretapping law that makes it illegal to intercept communications without a warrant or consent from the user. An industry representative told CENT that the 2511 letters provide legal immunity from being prosecuted for violating this law.
"The documents concern a collaboration between the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security and private companies to allow government monitoring of private Internet networks," EPIC stated on its website of the documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act Request. "Though the program initially only applied to defense contractors, an Executive Order issued by the Obama administration earlier this year expanded it to include other 'critical infrastructure' industries. The documents obtained by EPIC also cited NSPD 54 as one source of authority for the program. NSPD 54 is a presidential directive issued under President Bush that EPIC is pursuing in separate FOIA litigation."

Boy, 9, Sneaks on to Plane, Flies to Vegas
(NEWSER) – This is one Vegas gamble that almost paid off: A 9-year-old boy sneaked through security and onto a Delta flight at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport on Thursday and made it all the way to Las Vegas—apparently without a boarding pass. But putting a dent in his wild vacation plans, crew members "became suspicious of the child's circumstances" during the flight, says an airport spokesman, and turned him over to authorities in Nevada, CNN reports.

Time's Most Influential Cover: Beyonce
(NEWSER) – Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of 2014 is out, and superstar Beyonce is the face of the special issue. The singer, who surprised fans with a brand-new album last December that broke record sales, is featured on the magazine's cover, which hits newsstands today. Sheryl Sandberg, the author of the book Lean In, wrote a tribute to B for the publication, saying: "Beyonce doesn't just sit at the table. She builds a better one." A writer for Entertainment Weekly points out Beyonce was included in the magazine's "titans" section along with Hillary Clinton and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, instead of getting lumped into the "artists" category, which features more of the actors and musicians.

The Time Course of D1 Agonist Induced Striatonigral ERK1/2 Signaling in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
Cicely Moreno, Subbiah P. Sivam
Natural Asset; Financial Value; Neural Network
Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science,
Vol.2 No.1,
ABSTRACT: Using a rat model of hemiparkinsonism, we examined the time-course of D1 agonist, SKF-38393-induced changes in extracellular signaling regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation in the striatum and substantia nigra (SN). We unilaterally lesioned the rat median forebrain bundle with 6-hydroxydopamine. Dopaminergic lesioned rats were administered with SKF-38393 and perfused at 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes after the drug. Immunohistochemical analysis of striatum and SN revealed, as expected, a loss of tyrosine hydroxylase and a decrease of substance P in lesioned rats. SKF-38393 induced a robust increase in phospho-ERK1/2 levels in the lesioned striatum, which peaked at 15 min and substantially declined by 120 min. We report for the first time that similar changes were observed in the SN. The time-dependent ERK 1/2 activation in the striatonigral neurons may play a role in the therapeutic and/or side effects such as dyskinesias related to the dopamine agonist treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Album On Demand: David Nail I'm A Fire
Listen to David Nail on iHeartRadio
David Nail approached his third album, I'm A Fire, a little bit differently than his previous releases. The new album is, well, happier, led by #1 single "Whatever She's Got."
"There may be a little bit of a misconception that I sit on a stool every night and sing ballads with a piano," David tells iHeartRadio. "I think that, subconsciously, when it came time to make this record, we wanted to fight that assumption somewhat. We really tried to pick songs that were a lot more upbeat and a lot happier... it's definitely different from what I have been doing in the past.."
David talks about the new album in the video below.

Report: Beyonce planning to drop single before year's end
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce is reportedly planning to drop a surprise on the pop music world in the coming months.
A source tells the "New York Daily News" the superstar will release a new single in late November or early December. The plan apparently involves Beyonce making a move to take out the competition from behind, by putting out her highly anticipated new single right in the middle of several other highly anticipated fall releases.
Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga all have major albums on the way in the fourth-quarter sales period. The source calls the song "massive" and says it would be an official single, as opposed to Beyonce's early 2013 releases like "Bow Down" and "Standing On The Sun."
A video for the top-secret single is already shot and ready to go. The Terry Richardson-directed video was filmed in Coney Island over the summer.

Cops: Sister tries to bust into jail for brother
(NEWSER) – A big sister's misguided attempt to help her little brother landed her in jail in Colorado this week. Monique Armstrong's strange case began when police caught her inside the fenced perimeter of the Mesa County Jail in an apparent attempt to break in early Monday, reports KJCT8, which notes she climbed over razor wire to get in. The 20-year-old told authorities that she wanted to be booked into jail so her 18-year-old brother, who had been jailed on DUI-D charges (in this case, involving drugs, not alcohol), would be set free, reports the Daily Sentinel.
