Upcoming work to feature high profile projects and clients.
NEW YORK--Hospitality design veteran Vincent Celano has just announced the launch of his new firm, Celano Design Studio, a collaborative team of architects and interior designers servicing the hospitality, entertainment and lifestyle industries in design, architecture and branding.
Celano's decision to create his own firm is the next big move for the seasoned designer. Throughout his career, Celano has headed the design and management of projects for firms such as Rockwell Group, Jeffrey Beers International, and ICRAVE, working with brands like MGM, W Hotels, and Mohegan Sun. As cofounder of Seed Design Studio with his former partner Gonzalo Bustamante, they went on to design high profile spaces across the country, including LIV Nightclub at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau Hotel, Bagatelle in Las Vegas, and Tavernita in Chicago.
With his new studio, Celano will continue to execute exciting concepts with cutting edge brands, pushing the boundaries of the design process and choreographing experiences in each project it takes on. "There's excitement in how our business evolves. It's always changing not with trends, but with how people interact and how society evolves," says Celano. "We have to look forward to what hasn't been done yet."
One of the factors that drove Celano to create the firm was fulfilling his vision of a fully collaborative office culture. "The idea was to create a studio that's entirely collaborative, and a culture that encourages creativity. That's what Celano Design Studio is. That's our personality and our culture. The firm's upcoming projects include Seven Madison Kitchen in Westchester with Chopped contestant chef Nick di Bona, Whiskey Union Las Vegas, and Buddy V's Italian, the first restaurant by Buddy Valastro of TLC's Cake Boss. Continual forward movement and growth is, to me, the next step," explains Celano. "There always has to be that next step, the next level for our projects, our design process, and our studio culture. You have to keep moving forward."

Resort 2011: What They Wore
"On a family trip to Goa some years ago I saw these hammocks for sales in a coconut palm tree—beautiful light and color. I decided that I would use the horizontal color direction for some stripe in my collection. I also considered to work with nature motifs, one of them being snakeskin. I saw some nice photos of snakes and found out that the most obvious material for snake in my collection would be a water-snake bikini—very soft and meant for swimming.
The inspiration for the puffy lace I use is found as embroidery in a modest shop somewhere in the Middle East, and it immediately reminded me of peonies as I know them in the Nordic summer rain, in shape and color. I decided to use the fabric for my puffy lace bikinis in deep Bordeaux, pink, orange, cream, and lilac. All of my designs have the small hammered golden ball, which are inspired by the cuff links my mother gave my father as a token of her love. I always include these little hammered-gold balls as a signature detail in my collection."
-Hanne Bloch
Rich textures and luxe prints make these bikinis the perfect choice for a day to night pool party.

With no mention of record projected deficit, CBS allowed Matalin to spin Bolten appointment
On CBS' The Early Show, co-host Harry Smith allowed Mary Matalin to tout new White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten's "extraordinary credentials, credibility and experience, and relationships on the Hill with his work" as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) without ever informing viewers that as OMB director, Bolten oversaw the 2006 budget, which the White House predicts will produce the largest deficit ever.
On the March 29 broadcast of CBS' The Early Show, co-host Harry Smith [1] allowed Republican strategist Mary Matalin to tout newly appointed White House chief of staff Joshua B. Bolten [2]'s "extraordinary credentials, credibility and experience, and relationships on the Hill with his work" as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Matalin also mentioned Bolten's "skill set" and "policy background." But Smith did not inform viewers that as OMB director, Bolten oversaw the 2006 budget, which the White House predicts will produce the largest deficit ever.
Matalin -- who was the sole guest discussing Bolten on The Early Show -- served [3] as assistant to President Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney from 2001 to 2002; during the same period, Bolten was serving as White House deputy chief of staff for policy. Earlier in the show, CBS senior White House correspondent Bill Plante [4] mentioned Bolten's tenure as OMB director and described him as a "policy expert who rides motorcycles and plays bass guitar in a rock band to relax." Like Smith, Plante made no mention of Bolten's record of deficits.
Since taking over as OMB director in June 2003, Bolten has overseen the production of the fiscal year 2005, 2006, and 2007 budgets. By the White House's own projections [5], these budgets will result in three of the five largest deficits in United States history. (The other two were the 2003 and 2004 budget deficits.) The 2005 deficit was $318 billion -- at the time, the third-largest deficit ever. The White House projects that the deficit will balloon to a record $423 billion for 2006 before falling to an estimated $354 billion in 2007.
From the March 29 broadcast of CBS' The Early Show:
PLANTE: But the new chief of staff is an insider, not exactly new blood. Josh Bolten has been on the staff -- now the budget director and once [former chief of staff Andrew H.] Card's deputy -- a policy expert who rides motorcycles and plays bass guitar in a rock band to relax.
SMITH: Bolten, you know, is a White House insider, head of Office of Management and Budget, been with the president since the beginning. There are people on the Hill -- [Sen.] Trent Lott [R-MS] says, "This is no change at all."
MATALIN: It's a very significant change. This is not cosmetics. The president doesn't do cosmetics. But he -- it's also not a radical change for change's sake. This is a very analytical, methodical president who knows when he needs to make adjustments. There have been -- there's been a procession of some stumbles. Of course, you don't stumble if you're standing still. You only stumble when you're trying to go forward.
SMITH: Mm-hmm.
MATALIN: Josh has served in the past at the State Department, at USTR [United States Trade Representative]. He's a graduate of Princeton and Stanford. He has extraordinary credentials, credibility and experience, and relationships on the Hill with his work at OMB. If there's one thing that Josh has done on the Hill, it's work, day-in and day-out, with these guys. So, he's policy -- and he's good at politics.
SMITH: Well, here's the question, then, because everybody -- it's all about an election year. People on the Hill have been coming to the White House saying, "We need change. You're not feeling us here, you're not hearing us." Is Bolten the guy to make the difference?
MATALIN: Yes, he -- well, the president would not have made this -- this shift -- and it is significant -- if he didn't think that Josh wasn't the right person. And as I said, there is nothing more important that the Hill does than work through these budget issues on -- that are very important to the furtherance of progress in our economy. And Josh has been working with them for many years. He's also the architect of the president's original and biggest and most significant domestic policy issues. He was a domestic policy person in the first term, and he was a deputy chief of staff. So, he has all the skill sets to do this, he has all the policy background.
SMITH: Yeah. That's good. That's a wonderful résumé. Well, here's the thing, though. I think the Hill -- and there are people in the Republican Party -- are feeling like the president's out of touch, missed the boat on the ports deal. Is the White House -- are their ears wider open now than they were a month ago?

By Melissa Slager Herald Writer
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Ballots have been mailed to city residents, asking for another answer on a proposed $25 million civic center.
The idea has failed twice before, including an identical package in August 2012 and a larger measure in 2010. The most recent attempt fell short of the required 60 percent super majority by just 124 votes — ground that proponents feel they can make up this time around.
City leaders for years have batted around the idea of a new civic center, a place of one-stop shopping for city services as well as a gathering point for community programs and events. Then the old City Hall was demolished in 2010 following a ceiling collapse in 2008. The campus, at 232nd Street SW and 58th Avenue W., as a whole is seen as under-used piece of property. The site also houses Fire Station 19, the police station and the library.
Along with building a new city hall, or civic center, the proposal would expand the police station, improve the library and add other amenities, such as a home for the senior center, expanded green space to connect to Veterans Memorial Park, and such features as a fountain and amphitheater.
"Right now we don't have a place where people can get together and celebrate. This is for the community," said Linda Rogers, chair of the pro-bond measure group Citizens For MLT Civic Center.
Others disagree, saying a modest bond issue to replace city hall alone is enough. "You only need a small mortgage. You don't need a big mortgage," said Leonard French, a local "no" campaign leader
If the bond issue passes, city leaders say the average property owner can expect to pay an estimated $45.24 in 2014, $163.92 in 2015 and an average of $121.56 per year after that through 2042 to complete the 30-year bond repayment period.
If the bond fails again, the city could seek to lift the levy lid to continue paying rent on the interim City Hall. To start, that would cost about $4.20 per month for the average property owner.
City leaders and proponents such as Rogers say the time is right to build new and realize several improvements at once.
The city's financial footing is good, city estimates are conservative and the construction climate continues to look favorable, said Rogers, of the "pro" group. Building a Civic Center also would give private investors confidence to pump money into downtown and build the city's dreams for revitalization.
"To look to the future, we have to invest in the future," Rogers said.
French counters that residents have voted down the Civic Center proposal twice already and that the city is employing "scare tactics" by creating a false choice.
For example, French noted the recently closed municipal golf course at Ballinger Lake — now slated to become a park — has a clubhouse, which he says would be suitable as a senior center.
The city currently plans to outsource management of the clubhouse to rent out for events and other gatherings.
Ballots are due April 23 for the special election.

How long do you need to take folic acid for?
Did you know that it's advised to take folic acid before, after and during pregnancy? You can read more about Folic Acid For Pregnancy here.
Folic acid helps to protect your baby from defects of the spinal cord and brain.
If there is any possibility that you could become pregnant you should take folic acid, as it is best if it is taken before conception. It is really important to take folic acid during the first trimester and it is good to take it throughout pregnancy.
Interestingly, folic acid is also recommended if you are breastfeeding. It supports the body in making red blood cells and with repairing DNA. It does come through the breastmilk, but no negative effects for babies have been found.
There are even benefits when you finish breastfeeding - including reduced chance of contracting depression and reduced risk of stroke and heart disease.
Best wishes,

- Fried Chicken Salad Recipe
Preheat an oven to 450°F. Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
In a food processor, grind the tortilla chips finely and transfer to a pie dish. Stir in the marjoram, cumin and cayenne pepper. Brush the chicken on all sides generously with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken, 2 pieces at a time, to the crumb mixture and turn to coat on all sides, pressing into the crumbs to help them adhere. Arrange the pieces, skin side up, on the baking sheet.
Transfer to the oven and roast until the crust is brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes to crisp.
Put the lime juice in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Season with salt and black pepper. In a salad bowl, combine the spinach and tomatoes. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Divide the chicken and salad among individual plates and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Monaco from Love this Oven Purchased a month ago. Love it. Far superior to my old toaster oven. The steam/reheat option for leftovers is one of my favorite features. Microwaves are not that healthy and the ability to heat with steam is fantastic. I have also used the Convection oven feature for zucchini bread. Does not heat up my kitchen like my regular oven does. I bought the oven so I could make artisan bread (which requires the bake/steam option), and have not utilized that yet. Plan to do so shortly. Wish I had purchased this oven a year ago. Use it daily. Cleanup is easy...another great feature.Date published: 2016-09-22Rated 5 out of 5 by DrOdette from Can't Live Without Steam My husband has wanted this oven for a while, but I was hesitant: we don't need another oven, just takes up counter-top space, what would you cook with steam besides rice? Boy was I wrong! I use it every day. The first thing I made was roasted chicken, just followed the recipe that came with the oven, it was amazing, I've never tasted chicken this moist before. The size, for the two of us, is perfect. Now the regular oven is too big and warms up the house too much. I've purchased smaller Le Creuset bake wear and Chicago Metallic toaster oven pans, muffin tins, roaster pan, etc. I'm currently redesigning my kitchen and getting a built-in steam oven, 'cause this is all I use now. My husband was right, why did I wait so long to get this oven.Date published: 2016-07-24Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb4KitchenCathartics from 10 Star oven! Does NOT retain smells BEST countertop kitchen investment I've made so far! Perfect for those who want a second oven without remodeling their kitchen. ****IMPORTANT- to avoid the lingering smells some shared, you MUST empty the water catch below the oven after using the steam feature. The reservoir isn't in plain sight, so easy to miss without reading the instructions. =) PSA over. Otherwise, LOVE this small workhorse! The steam feature was my main reason for choosing this oven; haven't used my standard oven since. Chicken, fish (empty the water catch!), veggies all benefit from using steam. Bread- proofing and baking, easy and perfect crisp crust, soft delicious centers! Highly recommend, will be you new fav, too! Enjoy!Date published: 2016-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by PatrickF from Simply the best compact oven on the market This Cuisinart combo oven is simply the best investment I've made for my tiny kitchen. I live in an apartment that has a micro kitchen and needed a versatile cooker. I steam veggies, bake bread, cook chicken, port and steaks that come out perfect everytime. I use this daily and love it. A recommendation is to put a small dish of coffee grounds in it when cool to help with odors. I love it so much I just bought one for my elderly parents as a gift.Date published: 2015-12-03Rated 5 out of 5 by ShoeboxsMom from Love The Versatiliby I love all the options available, especially the steam bake. This is my first counter-top oven and I do wish there was a better cookbook.Date published: 2015-08-29Rated 4 out of 5 by StayAtHomeMum from Easy, Versatile I had read mixed reviews about this oven, and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. I am so happy that we purchased it. Our family uses it everyday--for tasks as simple as toasting bread to creating steamed entrees. There are a couple minor issues (it could be easier to clean, aromas can linger, the lettering on the dials wipes off over time, etc.), but still absolutely a worthwhile purchase.Date published: 2015-01-20Rated 1 out of 5 by AH0701 from Not so easy to clean I loved using this oven up until I steamed salmon. I have followed the cleaning manufacturer instrucciones but the fish smell is still there today after 4 days. I have done the process at least four times, and Nope.... it is still there. I am going to return it. I am afraid of being stuck with the "aroma" "per secula seculorum" If someone could advise me another way of cleaning it, I would keep it. ThanksDate published: 2014-09-07Rated 5 out of 5 by UKMeatPies from Don't know why I never used one before I remember purchasing a toaster oven 5 years ago but gave away to my sister since I already had a pretty cool toaster. Wrong. I had been stalking the Breville when WS had a sale on this product. I purchased this product and was amazed. Even my teenage son commented on how moist the chicken he cooked in it came out! Really good only if the inside was as large to accommodate the baking set designed for the Brevile, I would be in cooks heaven,Date published: 2014-04-16

Video: Fuji X-E1 Digital Camera
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V writing team in 2007 and is now a lead producer on our video team.
More from Zak Billmeier
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Fujifilm tapped in to a powerful place in the global shutterbug psyche when they introduced their "X" series of retro-influenced cameras in 2011. This entry, the 16-megapixel interchangeable-lens Fujifilm X-E1, stays firmly in that well-established design aesthetic, while offering some new technological features that make this camera even more of a value than its predecessors.
Video Transcript
I've got the Fuji X-E1 camera here. This is the latest from Fuji's X-series line. At the heart of the X-E1 is Fuji's fantastic image sensor, and combined with these high quality X-series lenses it'll give you some fantastic, sharp, just detailed photos.
You've got control over your shutter speed on a dial here. Your aperture control is on your lens here. So whatever you want to take control of while you're shooting, you can do so easily with the twist of a dial, not having to dive into any menus.
It also has a fantastic electronic viewfinder built in, and it's even got a sensor that will switch from the back LCD screen to the viewfinder when you get your eye close. You've also got a little pop-up flash here, and a little trick that I figured out pretty quick was with just a finger you can actually tilt it back and point it up and bounce it off the ceiling. And anybody who's used a flash a lot knows that you want to bounce that flash instead of blasting it right at people when you're indoors.
I think this might be my favorite Fuji camera yet. The X-E1 — it's a real shooter's camera, and if you really love taking pictures I think you'll really love this camera. So if you have any questions about this camera or any others, just give Crutchfield a call.
Sal Ruibal from West Springfield VAPosted on 4/23/2015
I received a Fujifilm XE-1 last December as a gift and am very pleased with the equipment. The more I use the kit lens, the more I kick myself for poo-pooing it as "just" a kit lens. I was a Leica fanatic for many years but as the camera world moved to digital, the Big Red Dot is not able to keep pace, especially in the mirro-rless camera category. I still keep a Leica rangefinder in my camera bag, but only as a backup. I have had no problems with the exception of figuring out which lens Fuji lens I should buy next.

Rick Springfield & Pat Benatar teaming up for summer tour
Listen to Rick Springfield on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pat Benetar on iHeartRadio
Rick Springfield and Pat Benatar are making plans to hit the road. The two performers have announced ten shows on their "Together Live" trek, with more stops expected to be added.
As it stands the tour will begin in Atlanta, Georgia on June 28th, and wrap up in Saratoga, California on July 25th. Springfield tells Billboard.com he's "always thought" he and Benatar would make a great pairing "with the boy/girl thing," especially since they both have "high energy rock and roll shows."
Rick adds that the tour is "a kind of complete circle thing." He explains that he would hear Pat's "Heartbreaker" on the radio as he worked on his major label debut, "Working Class Dog," and Benatar's guitarist -- and future husband -- Neil Giraldo played on Rick's hit "Jessie's Girl." Rick also points out that in the early '80s both he and Pat worked at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles with producer Keith Olsen.
Rick Springfield-Pat Benatar "Together Live" Tour Dates
June 28 - Atlanta, Georgia, at the Chastain Park Amphitheater

Tried this. Got a popup during the install asking me to insert my adapter. Never resolved after inserting the adapter. Rebooted the computer with the adapter already inserted, and still didn't recognize it. I'm wondering if the USB drivers on my backtrack install aren't borked. Seriously, though, this makes too much sense to work. I'll keep you posted if there is any resolution.
on a side note, is there a command to list all usb devices connected?
Update: Figured out what I was looking for. lsusb
lsusb shows the device, and lsusb -vvv looks fine compared to some similar logs i've run across online. That being said, it's still not creating an interface.
Did figure out that my processor is x64 though, so I'm going to try reinstalling bt.

November 15 College Football Recap
Monday, November 15, 2010
The Week in Review
Here's a brief look at the highlights of the 11th week of the college football season, the least tumultuous week of the year as only three teams were upset. The week was also key in the SEC as both the East and West Division titles were clinched, setting up an Auburn-South Carolina championship game on Dec. 4 in Atlanta. The rankings used in this recap are the BCS Standings from prior to the games.
CLINCHERS#2 Auburn 49, Georgia 31: The Tigers clinch the SEC West title as they come back from a 21-7 deficit to run away from the Bulldogs behind another big game from Cam Newton.
#23 South Carolina 36, #22 Florida 14: Steve Spurrier clinches the SEC East and knocks his alma mater out of the SEC race with smash mouth football - the opposite of what he did in his many successful years as the Gator coach - behind freshman running back Marcus Lattimore's career-best 212 yards.
CLOSE CALLS#1 Oregon 15, Cal 13: Cal becomes the first team all year to slow down Oregon's high-octane offense, holding the Ducks to just 317 yards and one offensive touchdown, but it's not enough as a missed fourth-quarter field goal ends the Bears upset bid.
#3 TCU 40, San Diego State 35: The Horned Frogs need to rally from an early two-touchdown deficit and they also need to stave off a late Aztec rally as they give up 12 more points than they had in their first six MWC games combined.
#6 Stanford 17, Arizona State 13: The Cardinal's potent offense was slowed down by a strong effort from the Sun Devils, but the Stanford defense turns out a great performance of its own and Andrew Luck leads his team to the winning TD midway through the fourth quarter.
#21 Nevada 35, Fresno State 34: Vai Tua ran for a 24-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to help the Wolf Pack avoid Fresno's upset bid.
UPSETSNorthwestern 21, #13 Iowa 17: Dan Persa throws a 20-yard TD pass with 1:22 to go to lift the Wildcats to a victory - though it's a bittersweet win as Persa then ruptures his Achilles tendon and is out for the year
Notre Dame 28, #14 Utah 3: The Utes can't recover from last week's crushing defeat to TCU as they come out flat against the Irish and can't even find the end zone.
USC 24, #18 Arizona 21: Trojan running back Marc Tyler carried 31 times for 160 yards as USC offset a big game from Wildcat quarterback Nick Foles (353 yards, 3 TDs).
KEY CONFERENCE WINS#9 Ohio State 38, Penn State 14: The Lions jump out to a 14-3 halftime advantage but Ohio State takes charge behind 190 rushing yards from Dan Herron.
#17 Missouri 38, #24 Kansas State 24: The Tigers take advantage of four Wildcat turnovers to keep themselves in the running for the Big 12 North title.
#20 Virginia Tech 26, North Carolina 10: Trailing 10-6 early in the second quarter, the Hokies settle down and close the day with 20 unanswered points to remain perfect in ACC play.
#25 Texas A&M 42, Baylor 30: Trailing 30-14 in the second quarter, the Aggie defense tightens up and the offense rattles off 28 unanswered points to send the Bears to their second straight loss.
OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR#4 Boise State 52, Idaho 14: The Broncos extend the nation's longest winning streak to 23 games as they register their sixth game this year with 48 or more points in a blowout win over their in-state rival.
#7 Wisconsin 83, Indiana 20: Playing without star running back John Clay, Wisconsin still turns out its best offensive performance in 95 years. The 83 points is the most by a Big Ten team since 1950.
#15 Arkansas 58, UTEP 21: The Razorbacks trail 14-7 early in this one, but Ryan Mallett leads them to another offensive outburst in a non-conference blowout.
GETTING DEFENSIVE#5 LSU 51, UL-Monroe 0: The LSU defense gets a fumble recovery touchdown and an interception return TD while Patrick Peterson adds an 85-yard interception return which leads to another score.
#8 Nebraska 20, Kansas 3: The Huskers hold the Jayhawks to just 87 total yards and five first downs, while tallying six sacks in a blowout Big 12 victory.
#10 Oklahoma State 33, Texas 16: The Cowboys end a 12-year losing streak to the Longhorns and while their potent offense continues to shine, it's a strong defensive effort which held Texas without a first half touchdown - Texas must win its last two games to avoid its first losing season since 1997.
#12 Alabama 30, #19 Mississippi State 10: Alabama uses big scoring plays of 45, 78 and 56 yards while the defense holds the Bulldogs to just 300 total yards to snap State's six-game win streak.
#16 Oklahoma 45, Texas Tech 7: Ryan Broyles catches three TD passes to break the Oklahoma record for TD grabs and the Sooner defense holds the Red Raiders to just 325 yards.
Fresno State at #4 Boise State (Fri.): Fresno State gave Nevada a good test last week and will be looking to pull off the upset in Boise on Friday.
#9 Ohio State at #20 Iowa: Iowa suffered a crippling loss to Northwestern last week and are likely reduced to playing spoiler the rest of the way and the Hawkeyes can definitely spoil Ohio State's season with a win on Saturday.
#7 Wisconsin at Michigan: The Badgers are eyeing the Big Ten title and after scoring 83 points last week, they should be salivating at the sight of the porous Michigan defense.
#8 Nebraska at Texas A&M: Texas A&M has been red-hot of late, but it will have its hands full with the tough Nebraska defense and rising star Taylor Martinez.
#14 Oklahoma at Baylor: The Sooners are still in the hunt for the Big 12 South title, but Baylor is no longer a gimme as the Bears have their best team in years despite losing their last two games.
#13 Arkansas at #21 Mississippi State: While the SEC races have been settled, this should be an exciting game between the potent offense of Arkansas and Ryan Mallett and the tenacious defense of Mississippi State.
#16 Virginia Tech at #24 Miami: Virginia Tech, which is trying to become the first team to go undefeated in ACC play since 2000, can clinch the Coastal Division with a win over the second-place Hurricanes.
#25 Florida State at Maryland: A key game in the ACC Atlantic Division as these two teams are in a three-team battle with N.C. State for the title.
From the players currently on the Watch List for the Manning Award, here are some of the standout stars from week 11:
Landry Jones, Oklahoma(22-of-29, 319 yards, 5 TDS, 0 INT)Jones tallied his seventh 300-yard game of the season as he leads the Sooners to a 45-7 victory over Texas Tech.
Ryan Mallett, Arkansas(19-of-26, 215 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT)Mallett leads the Razorbacks to their fourth straight win with a school record five TD passes while also running for a score.
Cameron Newton, Auburn(12-of-15, 148 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT)Newton shrugs off any distractions as he adds 151 rushing yards and two scores in a comeback victory over Georgia which clinched the SEC West title.
Dan Persa, Northwestern(32-of-43, 318 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT)Persa also runs for 50 yards and a touchdown and throws for the game-winning TD with 1:22 to go in a 21-17 upset of No. 17 Iowa.
Scott Tolzien, Wisconsin(15-of-18, 181 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Tolzien sets the tone early for the Badgers who go on to post an amazing 83 points in a blowout victory over Indiana.
While the final additions have been made to the Manning Award Watch, all quarterbacks remain eligible to win the award. Here's a look at this week's top performances from quarterbacks who are not on the Watch List:
Alex Carder, Western Michigan(16-of-20, 345 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Carder turns in an outstanding and efficient performance in leading the Eagles to a 45-30 victory over Eastern Michigan.
Austin Davis, Southern Miss(21-of-34, 265 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Davis matches his career-high for TD passes as he leads the Golden Eagles back from a two-touchdown deficit to defeat nationally-ranked UCF, 31-21.
Dominique Davis, East Carolina(26-of-41, 331 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT)Davis, a transfer from Boston College, continues to put up huge numbers as he leads the Pirates to a 54-42 victory over UAB.
Ryan Griffin, Tulane(21-of-35, 315 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Griffin leads the Green Wave to an offensive explosion, including tossing a 74-yard TD strike with 1:57 to go to erase his team's only deficit of the day.
Chandler Harnish, Northern Illinois(11-of-16, 162 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT)Harnish also rushes for 149 yards and a touchdown as his Huskies crush Toledo, 65-30, in a key game that likely decided the MAC West championship.

I enjoy my job about 80 percent of the time. For the most part, coming into the office is not work. It's about the challenges I will face as I watch the puzzle you call a newspaper come together from all over the building into one tight little package.
The last week of June I received a call from Francis Akins to tell me one of his staff was retiring. It was too close to deadline to do anything for that week's paper, but I pledged I'd be in Bronson Friday afternoon.
"He doesn't say much," Akins warned before hanging up.

WATCH: High school student discovers school is blocking conservative websites
A Woodbury High Schooler claims he uncovered political bias in the implementation of a firewall blocking some political Web sites at his school.
18-year-old Andrew Lampart, a senior at Nonnewaug High School, said he made the discovery when he was doing research for a classroom debate on gun control in May. Lampart said he first noticed that he could not get on the web site for the National Rifle Association.

A time capsule to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt Dam was delivered to the dam today and placed in the tunnel area, where it will remain until it is opened for the structure's 150th anniversary in 2061.
The new time capsule, filled with new items that best describe water and power and how they impact residents of the Salt River Valley, replaces the original version that was installed at the dam in 1961 and then opened in the spring of 2011.
During the run-up to the Roosevelt Dam Centennial in March 2011, Salt River Project invited employees and customers to contribute ideas via Facebook and e-mails for the contents of the new capsule, which was themed, "How water and power influence our lives in the desert we call home."
Currently, background information, diagrams and pictures related to the time capsule are on display at the Tonto Basin Visitors Center. Eventually, there will be a permanent display at the Dam lookout point, said Ileen Snoddy, community outreach representative for SRP.
"We felt the time capsule would be a great way to preserve the history of this great area of Arizona," said Snoddy. "The items in the time capsule capture the spirit of SRP and of water reclamation in Arizona. It's exciting to imagine what the reaction will be at the 150th anniversary in 2061."
Among the items included in the new time capsule:
* Copper shavings from the 1961 time capsule
* A digitized Roosevelt Dam Centennial video
* Centennial issue of Pulse, the SRP employee newsletter
* Paper SRP power and water bills
* List of SRP employees and Board/Council members in 2011 and an SRP employee badge
* SRP bylaws
* A cell phone, iPod, music CD, movie DVD, incandescent light bulb
* Arizona state quarter
* Aerial photo of metro Phoenix
* Arizona Diamondbacks baseball ticket from March 18, 2011, game
Before it was sealed in April, the Centennial time capsule and its new contents were on display during the spring and summer of 2011 at Phoenix-area museums, including the Arizona Science Center, Scottsdale Historical Society Little Red Schoolhouse, River of Time Museum and Superstition Mountain Historical Society.
Also on display on the centennial museum tour were items from the first Roosevelt Dam time capsule, which was embedded in the dam in 1961 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebration. Some of the items from the time capsule marking the first 50 years included:
* A telegram from President John F. Kennedy
* A roster of people present at the Golden Jubilee on March 18, 1961, and a copy of the official invitation to special guests and dignitaries
* Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association
* Bylaws of the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District
* A copy of the Kent Decree, which has done much to set the pattern of water rights
* Roster of SRP employees in 1961
* SRP's 1961 Annual Report
* Special issue of the SRP CURRENT News, which launched the Golden Jubilee celebration
* April 1961 Arizona Highways magazine titled "Water and the Thirsty Land"
* Two proclamations by Phoenix Mayor Sam Mardian Jr. and Arizona Gov. Paul J. Fannin declaring March 18, 1961, as the Theodore Roosevelt Dam Golden Jubilee
Dedicated in March 1911, Theodore Roosevelt Dam is the cornerstone of a system of waterways managed by SRP that has served as an economic catalyst in creating the Phoenix metropolitan area. Hydroelectric power from the dam and the reliable water supply it provided helped grow the Valley's rural areas into one of the more prosperous communities in the Southwest.

Somebody tell me what's WRONG with Joe Nichols' Performance
Joe Nichols is getting slammed for his rendition on 'God Bless America' at this year's MLB All-Star Game.
We'll call me crazy but I really liked it! It reminded me of a little George Jones and Randy Travis flavor. It sounded authentic, honest, sincere and stuck to the original melody of what we've come to expect from that song. He wasn't drunk, he didn't forget the words and he did it without any music. I would love to hear all off the brave critics perform the same song acappella in front of 70,000 fans and on tv in front of millions and even come close to matching Joe.

These are the sandals that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a comfortably soft, stabilizing orthotic footbed that provides superior arch support. The deep heel cups are molded into the sandals' shock-absorbing EVA footbeds, 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 90% decrease in pronation, improving their gait mechanics. Completely waterproof, the soles are made from resilient rubber molded with a non-slip pattern. The toe straps are padded with foam. The biomechanical footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the sandals are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Men's sizes 5-12; Women's sizes 6-13. Whole sizes only. For men's half-sizes, order the next size up. For women's half sizes, order the next size down. Khaki or Black. (1 1/2 lbs.)
The Plantar Fasciitis Orthotic Sandal comes 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.

Poor fit for women's feet
By Disappointed buyer.
from Brandon, Fl
This shoe will only fit someone with a very thin (top to bottom) foot. The length and width was perfect; however, the strap to insole was too shallow. The strap needs to be adjustable if they are going to use the same shoe for both men and women.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best flip-flop ever
By Doug
from Apple Valley, CA
I was told I should never ware flip flops because they aggravate my plantar faciitis. I tried these and found the support they provide is outstanding and I have never had a repeat of my plantar faciitis even after wearing them all day for consecutive days. They are extremely durable, very comfortable and look good on. One cannot tell they are a so called "orthotic sandal". They look like any other flip flop but give the necessary arch support needed. I have tried cheaper ones but was not satisfied at all. These are pricey but well worth the money. I only wish they had more color choices than gray and black. The gray ones are great though as they don't show much soiling.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Sandal
By Nicole78023
from Frisco, Texas
The only suggestion I have is that if you're a half size (i.e., 8.5, 9.5, etc), then I recommend ordering a size up. I'm an 8.5 and ordered an 8 per the instructions on the site to order down. While the shoe covers my feet, I would have felt more comfortable if I had ordered a 9.Otherwise, I really like the shoe and the arch support is phenomenal!

The Perfect Gift Choice
By Normau
from Annapolis MD
I purchased the plantar fasciitis sandals as a gift for my daughter-in-law and here is her comment when she emailed me her thanks."Thank You VERY MUCH! The orthotic sandals are awesome. I have to wear them gently for a few days (as the instructions say) but holy cow, I can tell the difference."

Orthaheel Fasciitis Sandal delivers, but
By SL
from Long Beach, CA
these sandals immediately relieve most the pain from my fasciitis especially after being off my feet or first thing in the morning when walking was nearly impossible. the sandal bed is comfortable and firm to provide excellent support.Wear time for me is limited due to the chaffing of the straps - both on the sides of my foot and between my big and second toe.

My right foot was really hurting even though I was wearing my shoe inserts for plantar fasciitis. These sandals seem to be helping my pain. I put them on the minute I get up in the morning.

- Yesterday Dracula's castle was for sale; today it's Ray Bradbury's house in Los Angeles, which is on the market for a comparatively reasonable $1.5 million. "His three-bedroom, 2,500-square-foot house, built in 1937, is painted a cheery yellow. It has three bathrooms, hardwood floors, and sits on a generously sized 9,500-square-foot lot." This concludes today's edition of Literary Real Estate.
- The history of Red Lobster, which was recently sold to a capital equity group by its parent company, tells a hopeful but ultimately tragic tale of casual dining in postwar America.
- The short story is "having a moment," even in the UK: "In Britain we don't have a culture of literary magazines that routinely publish short fiction. There are dozens in the US and this has helped the form to flourish."
- Curious new archeological discoveries in the British Virgin Islands: a witch's bottle and some iron ammunition "magically used to stop violence." Whether or not it succeeded is another story.
- The 1955 equivalent of online dating: "Women would approach a machine that looked a bit like an old-school automat. The machine had photos of different men, each with a short description. She would put her coins in a slot and out would pop a more detailed note, describing just what kind of guy her potential suitor was. The woman would then take her letter to a love-agent who was able to make an introduction."

WATCH: If 'Frozen' was a horror movie
Frozen is easily one of the best animated movies of the year so far. Seriously, Disney gave us another classic. But have you ever thought of what it would be like if the film was a horror movie? One young film-maker has.
A Frozen horror trailer, created by Bobby Burns, has been making its way around the internet. The trailer imagines the popular animated flick as a more scary and frightening movie. We won't spoil it for you, but it certainly gives new meaning to the phrases "Ice Queen" and "Do you wanna build a snowman?"

text: Home > Sports NHL: League moves closer to canceling entire season Reuters Posted at Dec 21 2012 04:46 PM | Updated as of Dec 22 2012 12:46 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn The National Hockey League (NHL) moved closer to calling off the entire 2012-13 season after canceling all games through Jan. 14 on Thursday due to a bitter labor dispute with players. The widely-expected decision brought the total number of lost regular season games to 625, or 50.8 percent of the season, the NHL said in a brief statement. With no talks scheduled between the two sides, who have not met face-to-face since Dec. 13 when negotiations involving U.S. federal mediators failed to kickstart the process, hopes of salvaging a season were fading quickly. The NHL, which normally runs an 82-game regular season, has previously said teams would need to play at least 48 games to forge a legitimate season. That meant a new deal must be reached by mid-January to ensure the Stanley Cup playoffs end in June. Key sticking points in the dispute, which began when the NHL locked out players in September, revolved around the length of a new contract, rules governing term limits on contracts and the transition rules to help teams get under the salary cap. There were also a handful of smaller issues yet to be agreed upon, most notably the continued participation of NHL players in the Olympics and rules governing drug testing. The NHL's latest move came as players were casting ballots on whether or not to give their executive board the authority to file a disclaimer of interest, which would essentially dissolve the union and allow individual players to file anti-trust lawsuits against the league. Confronted with yet another showdown between billionaire owners and millionaire athletes, the NHL and its players are once again testing the loyalty of sponsors, business partners and fans suffering from lockout fatigue. The labor dispute is the third in a short span to rock a professional North American sports league following lockouts in the National Football League and National Basketball Association last year. It is also the NHL's fourth work stoppage in 20 years and first since a lockout forced cancelation of the entire 2004-05 season. When a labor dispute led the NHL to run a 48-game campaign for the 1994-95 season, an agreement with players was reached by Jan. 11 and the season opened on Jan. 20.

You know regular exercise can help you live longer, feel better, and be more productive at home and work, right? So what's keeping you from getting out there and doing something RIGHT NOW?
A big part of what keeps people from exercising is fear. Fear of failure, fear that you can't do what you used to do, or fear that you will never be as good at it as you want to be. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Even experienced exercisers have to overcome their fears on a regular basis. Try not to be too hard on yourself if exercising does not come naturally to you -- changing your behavior is one of the hardest things you can do. It can be especially difficult if the people around you, such as members of your family, do not exercise.
"I have been running most days of the week for more than 2 years now, and I love it. But I still have to talk myself into it each time. Usually, part of that includes telling myself that it is OK if I have to walk, instead of running the whole way."
-- David, age 33
What motivates you?
For many people, the hardest part of exercising is getting out the door. Just about everyone who exercises struggles with this once in a while -- getting motivated each day can be really tough! And what motivates your friend to go running each day may not work for you.
We asked people what gets them going, and below is a sample of their responses:
Know what to expect
Exercise is different for everyone, but there are a few experiences we all have in common. Knowing what to expect can make exercise less intimidating:
Even moderate physical activity can help you live longer and better. The more active you are, the greater the benefits are to you. Take it slow, and don't push yourself too hard.

LONG BEACH — The city's bike bodaciousness was kicked up a gear Monday as the League of American Bicyclists upgraded Long Beach's ranking from bronze to silver in its annual list of Bicycle Friendly Communities.
This is Long Beach's fourth year on the overall list and first in the silver category.
"We really strove hard to continue to make improvements in our infrastructure and make (cycling) safer," said the city's bike coordinator, Allan Crawford. "So we're really gratified that the league recognized that."
Among the programs and features in Long Beach that received the most positive feedback were its bike businesses and Saturday bike riding programs, according to Crawford.
With about 12 to 13 city bicycle infrastructure projects ongoing and more in the pipeline, using $17 million to $18 million in grant money and possibly more coming from Measure R and federal funds, the bike pedal is to the metal in Long Beach.
"Obviously we're making incredible strides to become the bike-friendliest city," said Councilman Robert Garcia, a biking proponent.
"We applied for silver, but we kind of hoped they'd bump us to gold," Crawford said.
To make that leap, Crawford said Long Beach will likely have to ratchet up its bike-to-work commuting numbers.
Crawford said cities with gold status generally have about a 5 percent bike commuting population, while Long Beach is between 2.5 percent and 3 percent.
The bike-to-work numbers are a bit archaic in Crawford's view, however, they are important to the League, which is the main non-profit bicycling advocacy group in the U.S. It lobbies the government for federal funds based in part on the success of bike- and walk-to-work initiatives.
"It's not just about transportation, about and making the whole city healthier," Garcia said.
Long Beach's success on the list comes as it prepares for a local bike-to-work day Thursday. Crawford says a free bicycle will be given away to someone who e-mails a picture of themselves biking to work at email@example.com.
"We'd also love to hear stories about people's rides to work," Crawford said.
He said the city is about to embark on a study of the impacts and effectiveness of the separated bike lanes along 3 rd Street and Broadway, which is a federal requirement for the funding the city received for the project and to move forward on it.
The League of American Bicyclists released its annual list in recognition of National Bike to Work Week and named 214 cities in 47 states to its four-tiered list that contains platinum, gold, silver and bronze categories. Long Beach was one of 38 silver-designated communities and among four to move up a category.
Three cities own the League's platinum status - Davis, Boulder, Colo., and Portland, Ore. There are 16 gold cities.
In a released statement, Andy Clarke, league president, said his group received its largest number of new and renewing applications this year.
"The popularity of this program is clear evidence that simple steps to make bicycling safe and comfortable pay huge dividends in civic, community and economic development," he said.
More information on Bicycle Friendly Communities is available online at www.bikeleague.org.

I think the UK has some of the best Muay Thai fighters outside Thailand. Liam Harrison, Jordan watson, Andy Thrasher, Damien Trainor, Micheal dicks, Tim Thomas, the Wakeling brothers etc are all excellent. All products of some excellent gyms.
Some really really good shows around (some duffers too) but the high end shows are great, i really like UK promoters bringing Thais over as well, most people wont ever get to see high level Thais fight live so its pretty cool.
I think MMA has made the promoters look at there product and put on better shows which is a good thing, i also think some of the fighters might be getting paid better (although still no where near what there worth) and this might be influenced by MMA fighters being in a position to make better money.
MMA has probably highlighted Muay Thai as a fundamental art to be included as part of a well rounded MMA fighters game. I know the Muay Thai classes at our gyms have had an increase in numbers of guys coming form grappling based arts etc
Who do you think has the best muay thai in uk mma James?
My vote goes for Colin Farricker
Sean Wright IMO 52 thai fights, only 13 loses has fought Yod, JWP, preacher and a bunch of other guys.
farricker has sick Thai, usually wore terrible shorts if i remember right
i could say if pete tiarks was still fighting he would be ripping up the scene he was a force in thai and mma
hurtlocker mma (side show) 2-1-0
Farricker and Sean fight at the same weight if I'm not mistaken?
That'd be a sick fight.
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.
I think its dogshit at the moment.
Yes there are some really tallented fighters out there but there is allot of fakers too.
I know quite a few characters who run Muay Thai clubs and have 3 or 4 belts and travel to Thailand to fight each year.
The reality is that they bought their titles in Thailand and only fight locals who throw fights and spend most of the time sleeping with whores.
If a real Muay Thai guy challanges them (and it happens allot) they shit their pants and make excuses.
