Seal Beach shooting: Widow sues insurance company
SEAL BEACH – Hairstylist Sandi Fannin was in the back of the Seal Beach salon she co-owned with her husband mixing hair dye for a customer when the shooting started.
In the next two minutes, she lost her husband, many of her closest friends and her business in the worst mass killing in Orange County history. Eight people were dead or dying.
Nearly one year after the Oct. 12, 2011, midday massacre at the Salon Meritage near Pacific Coast Highway here, attorneys for Sandi Fannin filed a lawsuit accusing her business insurance company of operating in bad faith and inflicting emotional distress by delaying and then withholding payments.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court, contends that Fannin and her husband, Randy Fannin, had a commercial insurance policy with Employers Mutual Casualty Company that protected them from losses of property and income.
But the insurance company treated Sandi Fannin "rudely, arrogantly and as an adversary," rather than looking out for her best interests, according to the 11-page lawsuit filed by attorney Howard S. Shernoff. "Defendants treated Sandi with disdain instead of compassion," Shernoff said.
The insurance company told Fannin that 30 days was sufficient time to get Salon Meritage up and running after the killings, and eventually paid her less than half of the business interruption payments she is entitled to, Shernoff said.
Robert Closson, an attorney for the insurance company, said Wednesday he could not comment on pending litigation.
Salon Meritage has yet to re-open as the one-year anniversary of the shootings approaches. Sandi Fannin sold the business to friend and fellow hairstylist Irma Acosta, who plans to open a completely remodeled salon in the next few months. Fannin also plans to work once a week at the salon when it re-opens.
On Monday, Fannin said she is still in grief over the tragedy and found the insurance company representatives she dealt with for months were not compassionate, were hard to deal with and not responsive to her concerns.
"I lost everything that day," she said. "My husband, together with my friends – they were more like family – and my business were all gone in a matter of minutes. If people are in insurance, they need to be a little more understanding and show a little bit of compassion."
She said she felt the insurance company delayed payments when she most needed funds and eventually provided less than she was due. "It really wasn't fair," Fannin said.
Shernoff, in an interview Monday, said the insurance company had a fiduciary duty to protect his client. Even though the company knew she was going through an unimaginable tragedy, it "failed miserably" to act in her best interests, he said.
The lawsuit states EMC has paid Fannin about $30,000 in insurance payments, which – according to Shernoff – is about half of what she is entitled to.
The Fannins worked and co-managed Salon Meritage, and were also close friends with many of the hairstylists there.
Scott Dekraai, 42, of Huntington Beach, has been indicted by the Orange County grand jury on eight counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the salon shootings. His trial, which could lead to the death penalty if he is convicted, is now slated for March. He has pleaded not guilty.
Authorities contend Dekraai walked into the salon about 1 p.m. on Oct. 12, 2011, and shot hairstylist Michelle Fournier, his ex-wife, after arguing with her earlier on the phone over child custody. He then shot Christy Lynn Wilson, 47, Fournier's friend and colleague, and Randy Fannin, 61, authorities said.
Witnesses said he then started shooting others at random, killing Victoria Ann Buzzo, 54; Lucia Bernice Kondas, 65; Laura Lee Webb Elody, 46; and Michele Fast, 47. Victim Harriet Stretz, 73, was shot and wounded. David Caouette, 64, was shot and killed while sitting in his parked car outside.
A Seal Beach patrol officer arrested Dekraai a few blocks from the crime scene.
"I know what I did," Dekraai told the officer, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Dear all,
I've been using my BlackBerry for quite a few months and today I decided to install BlackBerry Desktop Manager on my computer. I installed it a restarted my computer as indicated and notice my BB also restarted. However, when starting my phone I was asked to introduce a password right after introducing the PIN I always introduce. I don't remember having a password, so I introduced my PIN first, then two passwords that I use commonly. Besides, somehow, I managed to waste one other of five tries I'm allowed to. I have only one more try and my phone is threatening to delete all the data I have introduced in it for the last months. Any idea on what could be the password my BB is demanding?
I decided to try the password I set for unlocking my phone. It didn't work and it is wiping my data right now. Since I did not require this security password, I wonder what it would be.

Photo gallery: Lowestoft's Anthony Ogogo owes Olympic effort to friends and family
Lowestoft fighter Anthony Ogogo hopes his opening London Olympics win paid back his friends and family for their ongoing support – as well as giving his ill mother a boost.
Things have been far from straight forward for Ogogo in his build-up to competing in London, with mum Teresa currently recovering from a brain haemorrhage at Gorleston's James Paget Hospital – where she was joined on Saturday morning by Ogogo's sister Lee-Anne, who went into early labour.
Fortunately Ogogo's middleweight 75kg division opener was a simpler affair on Saturday afternoon as the Brit, backed by an exuberant home crowd, proved too strong for Dominican Republic's Junior Castillo Martinez – taking a 13-6 win and booking his place in the last 16 at Excel Arena.
"I was a bit tense after the opening round, performing in front of the crowd," said Ogogo. "It was a bit nerve-wracking, but I eventually settled down and got into my rhythm and let my shots go, and I'm just glad I got the win.
"The support was amazing. I can't thank my family and friends enough and just the rest of the people in the crowd supporting me; it's unbelievable with a crowd where everyone wants you to win.
"I was walking into the ring and just thought 'lip, don't quiver, don't quiver'.
"I've just had so much help from my friends and my family and my girlfriend, they are the ones who really got me through.
"There was a stage when I didn't think I was going to be boxing at the Olympic Games because I just didn't see the point with all that was going on at home. But my sisters ordered me back to training to get back with the squad, and the team have been really good with me as well, and they've given me time off to go and see certain members of my family.
"So I've just worked so hard and focused on the goal, because this was my dream. Things have put into perspective what's important in life, but this is just testament to my family and friends who have got me here and hopefully I will do them even more proud and make my mum proud by winning a medal.
"Hopefully I've given my mum a boost and it helps with her recovery, but for what she's doing and what she has been through and how well she has done, I'm so proud of her. Within the model of the Olympic Games, there is nothing that compares."
Ogogo was the first Brit to take to the boxing ring at the London Games – and he took to a packed arena that rose to its feet for his spine-tingling entrance. And the Lowestoft ABC hero let nobody down once he got in the ring. While Martinez prodded and probed, Ogogo's defence was tight in a 3-2 opener before stepping through the gears to dominate in the second round 5-1.
Martinez had to go for broke in the third, but in truth the job had already been done as Ogogo prospered 5-3 for a 13-6 victory.
Ogogo now faces Ukranian number one seed Ievgen Khytrov in an intimidating last-16 encounter on Thursday.

You are hereForums / Investigation / Science and Scepticism / All metaphysical / paranormal phenomena explained
All metaphysical / paranormal phenomena explained
I don't believe anyone has previously "speculated endlessly" about the fact that all paranormal events are actually spiritual in nature.
If you can show me one instance, I'd appreciate it.
Like I said earlier, MS, it's too bad you are so skeptical. There is a whole new world out here to explore, and it's a lot more positive than the negative attitude of science.
I was just curious as to what evidence you had for your specific claim but it doesn't look as though I'll be getting any. My fault for being curious ...
Well, if people have "speculated endlessly" about my premise, you certainly should be able to provide one example. Are you "inventing" this assertion?
Let's turn the tables here, and let me ask you a few questions:
1. Do you consider yourself religious?
2. Do you consider yourself spiritual?
3. Do you feel you are "in touch" with your spiritual side?
4. Do you attend religious services regularly? (weekly? monthly?)
5. Do you engage in any spiritual activities? (i.e. meditation, for example)
Can you answer "yes" to any of the questions? Your answer might provide some clues as to why you think the way you do.
It's been a week since I posted the above questions, and I guess you're just going to twist in the wind on this unless you answer.
I could add these questions:
6. Do you consider yourself agnostic?
7. Do you consider yourself atheistic?
I was a committed agnostic until I discovered that so many mysterious subjects -- all metaphysical/paranormal, psychic or psi traits, abilties and events -- were all in fact evidence of our spiritual nature, staring me in the face. I was also a professional, paid skeptic, a daily newspaper editor. When you discover the truth, that all these events have a prominent spiritual element, and apply Occam's Razor, the answer is obvious.
A new review by a reader:
I just finished reading "Awakening The Soul: The Trilogy."
Here's my review:
It was Fantastic!!
Most everything in the book I was pretty much aware of and am in agreement with. I did learn quite a lot though, especially about channeling procedures.
The content of the book(s) alone is remarkable! I can see some of it like Book 2, as a standalone reference book on spirituality and psi.
Also the personal information you shared I enjoyed the most. It was from the heart (or should I say Spirit?)
I believe you are right when you say it was inspired.
Thank you very much for writing such a great book(s). I will treasure it as an addition to my library,
Jim B Cooper
... I see MS and Mauro around, so I'll jump in on this....
Let's start at the top:
Please explain were I am to find proof in the existance of the soul?
(Oh, and my answer to all seven questions is 'No', btw.)
Summum Nec Metuam Diem Nec Optima
You can find proof of the soul on P.338 of the Voynich Manuscript.
Interesting that you are neither religious, spiritual, agnostic or atheist. Do you believe in anything?
That would be an interesting read, since the manuscript currently only has 240 pages and only originally had 270.
As far as what I belive in? I belive in the Higgs boson.
Summum Nec Metuam Diem Nec Optima
Well, I hope you and the Higgs boson are real comfy, because when the shit hits the fan, you're going to need something to hang on to.
(And PS: the shit is already hitting the fan.)
I could be a smart ass and tell you that the reference is from the missing section of the Voynich Manuscript recently found in a temple in Nepal, but I'll refrain from this deception.
For a great deal of irony in that statment, you might want to translate the latin in my forum signature... ;)
Summum Nec Metuam Diem Nec Optima
Sorry, but I flunked Latin twice in high school, and that was about 130 years ago ...

So, when we close a file, the SBNN loses its block locations info for that file and is no longer "hot". I have an ugly hack which copies over the old BlockInfos from the existing INode, but I'm not convinced it's the right way. It might be cleaner to add new opcode types like OP_ADD_ADDITIONAL_BLOCK, and actually treat OP_CLOSE as just a finalization of INodeFileUnderConstruction to INodeFile, rather than replacing block info at all. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Just as he did for "ILL-Luminous Flow," Tragedy Khadafi went the animated video route for "Still Breathin'," the latest single off his new street album, Thug Matrix 3. It's not quite as intense as its predecessor, though. That video found Khadafi in the role of a military leader in the year 2028. This is less straight-up animated and more like that movie A Scanner Darkly, which used the famed Rotoshop effects, and it's an appropriate setting for the grimy tune and the 40-year-old MC's fiery rhymes. You can watch the video below.

Memories of Windrush journey to London
26 June 2013 Last updated at 21:02 BST
It was 65 years ago this week that the ship the Empire Windrush carried more than 500 migrants from the West Indies to London.
It was the start of a cultural transformation of the capital and on Wednesday night a reception was held at Lambeth Town Hall to mark how Brixton was at the heart of that change.
Special Correspondent Kurt Barling spoke with Peter Diethenn, who was a cook on the Empire Windrush, John Richards, who was a migrant on the ship, and Arthur Torrington from Windrush Foundation.

A five-month Associated Press investigation has determined that trace amounts of many of the pharmaceuticals we take to stay healthy are seeping into drinking water supplies, and a growing body of research indicates that this could harm humans.
But people aren't the only ones who consume that water. There is more and more evidence that some animals that live in or drink from streams and lakes are seriously affected.

When two hipsters go on a guided camping expedition in the Caucasus Mountains, an incident tears a rift between them in "The Loneliest Planet," writer-helmer Julia Loktev's powerful, exquisitely lensed third feature.
When two hipsters go on a guided camping expedition in the Caucasus Mountains, an incident tears a rift between them in "The Loneliest Planet," writer-helmer Julia Loktev's powerful, exquisitely lensed third feature. As with her previous film, "Day Night Day Night," Loktev withholds vital information here about her characters' inner thoughts, a strategy that will provoke passionate arguments over post-screening drinks, perhaps enhancing word of mouth. More commercially viable than "Day Night," especially given its spectacular use of locations and the presence of star Gael Garcia Bernal, pic should trek around the fest circuit and pitch camp with specialty distributors.
Practically no backstory is provided about protagonists Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Nica (Gotham-born, Israel-based thesp Hani Furstenberg), but what's clear is that they're seasoned travelers who pride themselves, perhaps a little smugly, on roughing it in countries off the usual tourist track. Clearly, they're also besotted with each other, evinced in scenes of them canoodling, frisking like puppies or making love in low-lit, odd-angled shots. After haggling in a local burg for a guide, they retain the services of Dato (real mountaineer Bidzina Gujabidze) to steer them through the extraordinary, grass-clad mountains of the Khevi region. Much of the pic's first hour unspools through continuous handheld shots of the threesome trudging along with backpacks, telling stories when they're not silently concentrating on navigating treacherous terrain. At regular interludes, long-distance shots observe them dwarfed by the landscape as Richard Skelton's haunting, rhythmic, ethnically inflected score intones in the background. An encounter on the trail turns into a near-life-threatening test of manhood that Alex arguably fails. Thereafter, none of the characters discuss what happened, but it casts a profound pall over the adventure, shifting allegiances and sympathies among the threesome. Auds are bound to differ over how to interpret the turning point and its consequences, while those who know the source material, a short story called "Expensive Trips Nowhere" by Tom Bissell, might quibble that Loktev's recasting the couple as younger lovers weakens the psychological credibility of Alex's actions. But other viewers may recognize a core emotional truth about how deeply travel tests relationships, how a single instinctive action can shift the ground irrevocably between people, and how no words can make things right. The realism is enhanced by nuanced, semi-improvised perfs from Bernal and Furstenberg. The way they silently project Alex and Nica's anger, disappointment and the faint rekindling of affection later on impresses just as much as their willingness to take physical risks. Loktev's muscular, distinctive helming percussively deploys repetition and shock cuts (she also takes a co-editing credit) that's of a piece with "Day Night Day Night" and her docu "Moment of Impact." However, it's the craftsmanship of Chilean lenser Inti Briones, who has worked with Raul Ruiz and Cristian Jimenez, that really steals the show here. Using a Red camera rigged to carry Soviet Lomo prime lenses that lend a Slavic softness to the proceedings, Briones makes the landscape look both achingly romantic and malevolent, offering nowhere to hide in this treeless expanse.The Loneliest Planet

BMW Announces Larger X7 SUV in $1 Billion Plant Upgrade
In celebrating BMW's 20th anniversary of producing cars on U.S. soil, the automaker used a press conference in its South Carolina plant to drop a few huge pieces of news.
Between 2014 and 2016, BMW will invest $1 billion in its Spartanburg plant, bringing the 2015 BMW X4 to production today. That's not huge news. What is is that the plant will hire on 800 more workers in that time, bringing the total to 8,800. It will grow the plant's current production from 300,000 to 450,000. And, lastly, it will begin production of an even larger BMW X7 in that time.
Why does BMW need an X7, you ask? Because the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class have a commanding grip of the large luxury crossover market--that's why. BMW wants in on that action, and the tiny optional third row in the BMW X5 just isn't cutting it.
In the BMW Spartanburg plant, BMW has manufactured some 1.6 million vehicles since 1994. The plant has taken in an investment of $6.3 billion since 1992. And it has exported $7.5 billion in vehicles to more than 140 countries around the world. It accounts for BMW's second-largest manufacturing facility in the world.
"Our U.S. plant is the best example of our successful strategy of 'production follows the market'," said BMW board member Harald Kruger. "The state of South Carolina has supported us as a valuable and reliable partner throughout our 20-year involvement in the region – making the United States our second home."

Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee | |
Lifetime | 27 May, 1922-7 June, 2015 |
Portrayed | Saruman in: |
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy The Hobbit film trilogy | |
IMDb | Profile |
Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee CBE (1922-2015)[1]was an English actor, who portrayed Saruman in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, The Hobbit film trilogy, and read the The Children of Húrin audiobook.
Contents |
[edit] Life
Lee had a long history with Tolkien's fiction; he read The Hobbit after leaving the Royal Air Force in 1945, and since The Fellowship of the Ring came out, he read all Tolkien's books once a year. Lee also had the experience of actually meeting Tolkien in person (making him the only individual involved in the film trilogy to do so):
We were sitting there talking and drinking beer, and someone said, "Oh, look who walked in." It was Professor Tolkien, and I nearly fell off my chair. I didn't even know he was alive. He was a benign looking man, smoking a pipe, walking in, an English countryman with earth under his feet. And he was a genius, a man of incredible intellectual knowledge. He knew somebody in our group. He (the man in the group) said "Oh Professor, Professor..." And he came over. And each one of us, well I knelt of course, each one of us said "how do you do?" And I just said "Ho.. How.. How..."
Lee always envisioned himself as being Gandalf, so when he read that Peter Jackson would be adapting his bedside book, he immediately called his agent.
[edit] Jackson
Although he realized he was too old to play Gandalf, he read the part. He did not get it, but was called back as Saruman instead. He had never been in a movie with the actual Gandalf, Sir Ian McKellen, but the two quickly became friends, being the oldest actors on the set (though Lee was 17 years older). When McKellen was cast as Gandalf, Lee was 78 years old and McKellen was 61.
Lee shot most of his scenes in Wellington, in the main studio, but also shot one scene in Wellington's national park. He visited New Zealand four times, the longest time being ten weeks. He later did some post-synching in London.
While jet-lagged, Lee broke his hand smashing it against a wall. Several shots of him in the finished films show him carefully hiding this bandaged left hand.
[edit] Other projects
Known for his booming voice, Christopher Lee has sung operas, and performed with the Tolkien Ensemble on their CDs At Dawn in Rivendell and Leaving Rivendell. He sang the role of Treebeard, as well as reciting numerous other poems.
Lee has recounted his life and his connections with Tolkien's work in the foreword to Chris Smith's The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare, and in chapter 74, titled "Spellbinder", of his autobiography, Lord of Misrule.
Lee agreed to reprise his role as Saruman for The Hobbit (film series) on the condition that he did not have to fly out to New Zealand to be filmed.

[edit] Quotations
What Professor Tolkien achieved is unique in the literature of my lifetime. Indeed, in my opinion, he had reached the peak of literary invention of all time. Nothing like it has ever existed, and probably never will.
—Christopher Lee, foreword to The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare
It's just going to be...I'm trying to think of the right word - without making it sound like the usual fashionable superlative. I think it will create film history. I think it's going to have the biggest impact, on screen, of anything of the last 40 or 50 years
—Christopher Lee, SFX Magazine June #65
Saruman is number one. Saruman is, very definitely, the most brilliant, the most powerful, with the greatest intellect and the greatest knowledge. Gandalf...well he's number two. But Saruman's whole character becomes perverted and distorted and he lusts for power and gradually, as it very often does, the old famous quote 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'.
—Christopher Lee, Fox's Quest for the Ring
I did meet him [Tolkien], very briefly, in the Fifties. It was in a pub that he used to go to in Oxford, called the Eagle and Child. I was there having a beer and I was completely overcome when he walked in. I had already started reading the books and thought, "This man has created a unique form of literature - one of the great works of all time." While I was filming The Lord of the Rings, I thought about what he would have thought all the time, and hope he would have approved. I'm still an enormous fan - I read The Lord of the Rings every year.

The news that the Nats will have an all-star after all, and that that all-star will be Tyler Clippard, is a little puzzling. Basically because Rafael Soriano is the closer, and he has a 0.97 ERA to boot.
Clippard's ERA (2.03) isn't quite there, but his other numbers are. He leads the pen in innings (40) and strikeouts (53), and he handles high-leverage eighth-inning situations. Plus, he's been doing it for years.
Since '10, no reliever has more IP than Tyler Clippard (363) and only Craig Kimbrell has more strikeouts. A constant at a volatile position.
— Barry Svrluga (@barrysvrluga) July 14, 2014
This may be his best year, though. His FIP's never been lower (2.49), and his Ks per nine innings have never been higher (11.9).
It's Clippard's second all-star selection. You could say he's come a long way since Jim Bowden got him for nothing.

Alligator bites hand off Florida boat captain
MIAMI — A Florida tour boat operator had his hand bitten off as he was feeding an alligator marshmallows to entertain passengers, officials said Wednesday.
The boat was carrying about six tourists late Tuesday when the alligator leapt up and devoured the sweets along with the captain's hand, according to Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the state Fish and Wildlife authority.
The alligator was tracked down and killed and the hand was extracted from its stomach, but doctors' efforts to reattach it at a hospital in Tampa proved unsuccessful.
To add insult to injury, the boat captain finds himself facing the possibility of a $500 fine or six months in prison because feeding alligators is a second degree misdemeanor in Florida.
The boat was operated by Doug's Everglades Tours, one of several companies that carry tourists up and down the state's popular, subtropical wetlands.
The incident occurred near Everglades City, some 128 kilometers (80 miles) northwest of Miami.

Sender.. you know your team and fray is the only teams.. the only team who would whoop your butt was fnatic and they dont take hon serious.. you can beat them easily because they play like 3 hours hon per week maximum. You know you win free 1st place. But I can understand you. You try make it look like it was tougher for gain more respect. I have respect for you and repsect that. But you know the truth.
And again, sender, congrats on free 2000 dollars. Your enemies are not even close to you. Please justr be honest for 1 second.
I know that there are many teams out there that people dont know about, but they dont know about them because they have not won anything yet. We see teams like 90s bx3 bxf etc getting some attention because they had their succes in IG tournaments. But tbh here at the moment I dont see any american team beating tdm.

Dude, chill. It's obviously a reason for the tournament being NA only. Probably that's the way the sponsors wanted it. Anyway, it's not a problem. There are tons of great players in America, so it should be a good tournament.
Edit: You mentioned us not being able to compete, but I'd rate Brens Boys, Clan Milk, inclement (even though they can't compete in this one) above/as good as us. JAH & Company are obviously better.

Is something wrong with that? Win or lose you get experience out of it, much better than not participating at all. It's how teams get better by playing more and participating in higher level games. If you're too afraid to face a top team then you don't deserve to be competitive.

The complaints are more about it being one sided, or less exciting, and should never be directed towards the sponsor but towards the lack of NA teams.
If their market is on North America and they don't want to invest marketing money on areas they don't sell to, then it's understandable, even though someone should tell them that forbidding European teams entrance they potentially hurt their exposure in North America, due to a lesser public interest. But maybe it's about the money, and restrictions/difficulty to send the prizes abroad, dunno.

Is this because of governmental rules or just out of pure xenophobia? lolThis tournament is open to all players in North America (excluding Quebec)

You guys beat us in tourney recently...
Anyways, we're pretty inactive and Riser's with fray now. I'd be surprised if we competed in this. :P
That being said I'll definitely try and get some sort of team together for this.
And to EU teams and whoever Raawr is, I'm pretty sure S2 didn't have a hand in the NA only part. It is probably on Plantronics side, so stop complaining about them making it NA only.. go back to complaining about SoonTour <3
And we actually forgot to mention vtrL, another strong team in NA!
Nice tournament! Just wondering.. Frenetic Array cannot participate or? They're like playing on USW or is it strictly NA regions only? If Frenetic Array cannot participate, Trademark eSports will get the prize for sure unless some teams will surprise us and get an upset win over tdM.
EDIT: Just saw rules and it stated NA/Canada only. Nevermind

A wonderful bit of sunshine…its rare for a puff piece to focus in our direction.
The city of Detroit and the Tigers in particular are about to receive some big time attention from Sports Illustrated as the featured story in the September 28th edition of the magazine. Get your jinx reversing gear prepared.
The coverage stems from Assignment Detroit. Pretty much the entire Time publishing empire (SI, CNN, Time, Fortune…) took residence in Detroit to cover the city that has been hit as hard as any with the economic downturn.
The Tiger related coverage includes:
For owner Mike Ilitch, it has been a pretty good week PR wise. In addition to the Jenkins article where Ilitch is praised for his approach to Tigers ownership:
He is a businessman by trade, but he is consumed with two causes that don't always lend themselves to profit. "Turning around our city," he says, "and winning the World Series." Ilitch, who is 80, wants to see those goals realized in his lifetime, which helps explain how the Tigers have managed to keep payroll high, ticket prices relatively low and the community-relations budget constant in a period of plummeting revenue. As one major league executive puts it, "Their owner doesn't operate from a profit-and-loss standpoint. He treats the team more like a public trust."
..he was also featured in the Free Press where various players describe their interactions and respect for him.
A wonderful bit of sunshine…its rare for a puff piece to focus in our direction.
I don't need "jinx reversing gear", I'm a baseball fan and there are no superstitions in this game….
You're not from Boston, are you . . .

These are mostly great articles, and it's awesome to see Tiger Town get major coverage in SI, but I'm going to have to agree with Deadspin on this one: http://deadspin.com/5365967/sp.....e-to-claim.
I'm staying in Detroit. I think the city has great economic potential. There are incredible opportunities here.
I just love the picture. Sure, Deadspin makes a good point, but so does the story in SI. Stephen, have you ever thought about applying for a job with Deadspin?
Just kidding!
I'm not sure what the Deadspin article was trying to say: that a winning baseball team doesn't make Detroiters feel better about themselves? Well, do Detroiters really feel bad about themselves? (I know people are suffering, but that's not the same thing.) That the reason for the Tigers success this season isn't empathy for the fans' troubles? Who cares? The fact is a winning sports team IS something to feel happy about. No, it doesn't find you a job or pay your mortgage, but it doen't hurt either.
Not to mention the fact that winning–insofar as that leads to making the playoffs–generates extra revenue for the team, and for the home playoff games, for businesses, restaurants, hotels, etc in the city.
That being said, however, this whole "Assignment Detroit" thing does feel a little, well, patronizing. I read the article about it on TIME's website and they make it sound like they're travelling to some war-ravaged third world country to bring the agonizing struggles of the oppressed locals to the attention of the wider world. Um, hello, Detroit DOES have its own media. You want to know what's going on here, how about read our papers and watch our news?
Yeah it was awesome seeing the write up in the Freepress about this week's SI issue, being a long time subscriber. As much as the backdrop of "harsh economic times" gets tiring over and over ala the Spartan run to the final four. Any publicity is good publicity as the saying goes. I hope the writers do the city and its suburbs proud.
Grandy's comments were particularly telling. Miggy having to bid on a painting and actually win the bid in a local auction. How the team came face to face with financial realities in the D.

Amerijet's Consolidated Data Center Takes Flight
By Samuel Greengard | Posted 2013-05-13 Email PrintThe global cargo shipping firm consolidated its business units into a single data center to increase efficiency, save money and enable strong business growth.
By Samuel Greengard
Transporting cargo around the globe and getting it to a destination on time and intact is a daunting task. Global cargo shipping firm Amerijet International, which hauls upward of 200 million pounds of freight annually to more than 550 destinations worldwide, is among the key players in the cargo shipping business. Ensuring that shipments move quickly and securely via land, sea and air requires sophisticated and dependable IT systems and software.
It's critical to meet customs cutoff times, provide excellent customer service and achieve the highest level of systems availability. In the past, the company faced a number of challenges in keeping the business running effectively, notes Jennifer Torlone, senior director of Technology and Information Services at Amerijet.
"We saw substantial opportunities for cost savings and greater business efficiencies," Torlone says. "We decided to consolidate business units handling a portfolio of integrated products into a single data center."
After a six-month analysis that involved input from the business units, Amerijet formulated a new IT strategy. "We wanted to focus on building an IT infrastructure that would enable growth," she explains. "The goal was to allow the company to double in size for the next five years."
To deliver the highest level of performance for its Windows-based business applications, the firm turned to an end-to-end Dell solution that includes servers, storage, networking equipment, software and services. It installed 14 new Dell PowerEdge blade servers and ramped up a virtualization initiative.
The result was a data center running 120 virtual servers on 14 physical machines. "We were able to dramatically reduce our footprint, while increasing our processing power," Torlone points out.
The migration to the new data center required only about 10 hours. The firm immediately achieved a reduction in data center costs by about 60 percent as a result of more energy-efficient servers and storage devices.
But more powerful systems translated into other improvements, as well. For example, cargo reports that previously required 30 to 45 minutes to compile now require only seconds. "We're able to view our inventory at any location," she says. "We know what cargo is on hand versus what is allocated for a flight."
In addition, Amerijet has reduced the time required to close flights—essentially matching air labels with shipment lists that are then submitted to Customs for approval—by 96 percent through the use of a Dell Compellent storage area network. What used to take 45 minutes now takes about two minutes, Torlone says. These improvements have helped expedite freight handling and improve customer satisfaction levels.
Torlone says that the technology improvements had made it easier for the IT staff to move away from day-to-day administrative tasks and focus on more strategic challenges. The previous environment couldn't support iPads and other mobile tools that pilots and others now use. In addition, the company is about to launch a SharePoint environment, and it is rolling out Microsoft CRM.
Finally, Torlone says, "We have a true disaster recovery failover capability. Through the cloud, we can recover data from another city if a disaster or disruption occurs."

Tennis-Miami women's singles quarterfinal results
March 28 (Gracenote) - Results from the Miami Women's Singles Quarterfinal matches on Tuesday 2-Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic) beat 26-Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (Croatia) 6-3 6-4
ASTANA, April 6 Outsiders Kazakhstan stayed alive in their Davis Cup quarter-final against holders Czech Republic after winning the doubles rubber on Saturday.
The Czechs were looking to wrap up the tie after winning both of their singles matches on Friday, but Andrey Golubev and Yuri Schukin stunned Radek Stepanek and Jan Hajek 7-6 6-4 6-3 to take the contest into a third day.
Stepanek, who had not played since undergoing neck surgery in January to relieve stress on a nerve, teamed up with Hajek for the first time after his regular doubles partner Tomas Berdych pulled out of the indoor tie in Astana with a shoulder injury.
After losing the first set in a tie-breaker 7-2, the Czechs were gradually outplayed by the newly-made pair of Golubev and Schukin, who also won their previous doubles encounter in Davis Cup by beating Austria at the same venue in February.
"We're a young team, playing against the Davis Cup champions and nobody thinks we can beat them," said Russia-born Schukin, who has been representing the Central Asian nation for the past few years, just like his other three team mates. "But we battled hard for every single point and never thought of giving up."
Kazakhstan are now hoping for another shock victory over the Czechs after beating them 3-2 in their only previous Davis Cup encounter in Ostrava in 2011 when they made their debut in the World Group as an independent nation.
On Sunday, Czech Lukas Rosol is scheduled to meet 156th-ranked Mikhail Kukushkin in the first reverse singles while Hajek must face Golubev in the last rubber, but visiting captain Jaroslav Navratil said he might alter the plan.
"We have to sit down tonight and I have to decide who is coming in for tomorrow. I have to speak to Radek. Normally I would want to put him in for a match on Sunday," Navratil told the Davis Cup website (www.daviscup.com).
The winner of tie faces France or Argentina, who are tied 1-1 after the first day of their quarter-final, in the semi-finals in September. (Writing by Gennady Fyodorov in Moscow, editing by Pritha Sarkar)


text: I'm not gonna lie on know these guys are professionals, but come on, this is seriously the weakest patriots team in the last 13 years, their defense isn't at full strength, if aqib talibis out we are gonna make it rain on these guys, he has no welker, amendola is a chump, and all the other receivers are nobodies, its a fact that brady makes his receivers look good, like drew brees and peyton. But, if our defense controls their offense this game won't even be close, and i know going against new england and their coach is tough, if we control the TE and not allow their running game to breathe their offense is shot, which is rare for a typically good offensive pats team, their defense the past there to four years has been atrocious, no wilfork of jerod mayo will decimate the middle, i expect us to have 200 yards in rushing, final score i think will be 28-10, i can't see them score more than a touchdown i really don't. It just depends which team shows up the panthers that play with intensity and passion like last week, or the panthers that play flat like the past two years.

Medicare Trustees released their annual report finding that the Medicare trust fund will be exhausted in 2026, two years later than was predicted last year; over the past two weeks, as Washington has investigated the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) use of targeting, lawmakers have been working to ensure similar targeting cannot occur at the agencies implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA); with bipartisan support Marilyn Tavenner became the first confirmed Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator in almost seven years; the House of Representatives voted to repeal the ACA for the 37th time; 17 of the 27 states running their own Preexisting Condition Insurance Plans (PCIPs) decided to let the federal government take control and responsibility; and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is starting to accept letters of intent from parties interested in its second round of innovation grants.
After a Treasury Department audit found that the IRS had singled out conservative groups for special scrutiny, some lawmakers have been tying the targeting to Affordable Care Act implementation. The House GOP campaign committee launched ads in some districts where Democrats are vulnerable in midterm elections claiming Democrats are planning to "Put the IRS in charge of your healthcare." The IRS is, in fact, responsible for implementing major pieces of health reform – at least 40 provisions in the ACA add or amend provisions of the tax code. The IRS's tasks include collecting information on who has insurance from employers and insurers, determining who qualifies for subsidies or Medicaid, and figuring out who must pay a penalty. Notwithstanding the large role the IRS will play in implementing the ACA, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) responded to these suggestions saying that "The Affordable Care Act maintains strict privacy controls to safeguard personal information. The IRS will not have access to personal health information."
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew requesting they disclose whether Sarah Hall Ingram, the former commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2013 had "inexplicably been promoted to oversee the IRS' Affordable Care Act office." Thune goes on to request that the IRS stop enforcing regulations drafted under Ingram's supervision and that the IRS cease working on health care law regulations until the Department of Justice confirms that Ingram is not being investigated.
House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany (R-La.), Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) introduced the Stopping Government Abuse of Taxpayer Information Act "to protect Americans from political targeting at all government agencies charged with the implementation and enforcement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."
On May 14, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released the news that the cost of repealing the sustainable growth rate (SGR) would not be as high as once expected, indicating to many that the momentum behind achieving repeal is likely to continue this year. The Medicare Payment Advisory Committee's (MedPAC's) Executive Director said to the Senate Finance Committee that CBO's reduced cost estimate of repealing the SGR may alter recommendations it has previously made to Congress for transitioning the Medicare payment system. At the time MedPAC made its initial recommendations the estimated cost was $300 billion over 100 years, but the CBO has revised this estimate to $138 billion over 10 years.
The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health held a hearing on May 21, in which there was discussion of three ways to utilize beneficiary cost sharing in Medicare in anticipation of a deficit reduction package. The three areas identified as targets for cost sharing were increasing income related premiums for Medicare Parts B and D, increasing the annual Medicare Part B deductible, and establishing a home health copay.
The House of Representatives voted 229 to 195, largely along partisan lines, to repeal the Affordable Care Act for the 37th time. The vote gave some freshmen congressmen their first opportunity to vote for repeal, which will give them the ability to campaign on these grounds as midterm elections near.
Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chair Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee Chair Charles Boustany (R-La.) wrote a letter to HHS Sec. Sebelius expressing concern over the potential for privacy violations by health insurance exchange navigators and non-navigator assisters. In the letter, they request further detail on what information these entities will be able to access.
At a House Oversight hearing on May 21, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) Director Gary Cohen said he was confident that HHS has authority, despite lack of explicit statutory instructions, to set up navigator and assister programs to help with enrollment in state-based exchanges.
On May 31, the Medicare Trustees released their 2013 report, projecting that the trust fund that finances Medicare's hospital insurance coverage will remain solvent until 2026, which is two years beyond what was projected in last year's report. The improved outlook can be attributed to lower-than-expected Part A spending in 2012 and lower projected Medicare Advantage program costs. At this juncture it does not appear that action will be triggered from the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). This report is likely to influence upcoming congressional debates over the debt ceiling, proposals to reduce the deficit and the future of entitlement programs.
On May 31, CMS released a final rule on Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) exchanges along with an application that provides small employers with easy-to-understand access to health insurance options for their employees.
HHS announced a second round of Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) innovation awards, through which up to $1 billion are now available for payment and delivery system models that improve care and lower costs. Specifically, CMMI is seeking proposals in the following categories: Models that are designed to rapidly reduce Medicare, Medicaid and/or CHIP costs in outpatient and/or post-acute settings; models that improve care for populations with specialized needs; and models that improve the health of specific populations through activities focused on engaging beneficiaries, such as prevention, wellness, and comprehensive care that extend beyond the clinical service delivery setting.
On May 15, the Senate approved President Obama's nominee to run CMS, Marilyn Tavenner. Tavenner is the first confirmed CMS administrator since 2006.
On May 29, implementing a component of the ACA, HHS finalized rules for wellness programs offered through employer health care plans. The final rule closely mirrored the proposed rule. Under the rules, employer health plans may offer rewards to workers who satisfy certain fitness goals. The rule increases the maximum possible reward for successful completion of a health-contingent wellness program from 20 percent to 30 percent of an employee's premiums.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has begun reviewing final rules on Medicaid, Exchanges, and Children's Health Insurance Programs; Conditions of Participation for Community Mental Health Centers; Exchange Functions: Eligibility for Exemptions and Miscellaneous Minimum Essential Coverage Provisions; Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Prospective System; and Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate.
The Medicare Fraud Strike Force has found $223 million of alleged Medicare fraud, charging 89 individuals in eight cities , according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The ACA established the Preexisting Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) to provide health insurance coverage for Americans whose preexisting conditions made them uninsurable in the private market until 2014, when insurance that does not underwrite based on health status will become available. In February of 2013, due to the quick consumption of the program budget, HHS increased cost sharing under the program and suspended new enrollments in the federal program. Last week, HHS informed states that they would have to renegotiate their PCIP contracts and accept limited funding to continue their programs. Concerned that they would get stuck with the tab if they operated these plans themselves, 17 states opted to discontinue their programs and turn their enrollees over to the federal program, while 10 will continue to administer the PCIP in their states.
Two states that had planned to run their own state health exchanges have appealed to the federal government for help. The health insurance board chairmen in Idaho and New Mexico said they could not prepare the computer systems by October 1, 2013 and would need help from the federal government. Thirty-six states' exchanges will now be run in full or in part by the federal government. New Mexico will run its exchange in partnership with the federal government. Though Idaho will receive assistance from the federal government, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter said it will still be a "state-run exchange."
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett pushed back last week against the Pennsylvania's Independent Fiscal Office's (IFO) report, which claimed Medicaid expansion would provide the state as much as $515 million in savings, revenue or underestimated costs to the state. Bev Mackereth, the Acting Secretary of the Department of Public Welfare, sent a letter to the Independent Fiscal Office explaining that the Department had "serious concerns" about some of the assumptions contained in the IFO report. One of Gov. Corbett's top aides said that if Pennsylvania is to expand Medicaid, it likely will not happen until January 2015. Mackereth said that the administration would need that much time to negotiate with the federal government and create the program.
Four insurers – Aetna, CareFirst Blue Cross Blueshield, Kaiser Permanente and United Healthcare – are planning to offer almost 300 different health insurance policies through the D.C. Health Benefit Exchange.
On May 23, Maine's Democratic-controlled legislature passed a bill to expand the state's Medicaid program. Maine Governor Paul LePage (R) immediately began veto procedures.
On May 16, Liberty University argued before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that it would face millions of dollars in penalties if it were to refuse to provide employee health insurance. Providing the required insurance, however, would violate the university's religious beliefs because it is required to cover contraceptives and other drugs the university argues cause abortions.

"Sweet Summer Sun" features a career-spanning set and a guest appearance by Mick Taylor.
The documentary of the Rolling Stones July concert in Hyde Park will get its television premiere on Showtime (Dec. 20, 9 p.m. ET/PT).
The Rolling Stones: Sweet Summer Sun — Return to Hyde Park chronicles the band's show before 100,000 people at the London Park, nearly 44 years to the day after a famed free concert there in 1969. The Paul Dugdale-directed film, released on DVD and Blu-Ray Nov. 11, features a career-spanning set of performances, including Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Miss You, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want. The concert also is available as a live album on iTunes.
"Coming back to Hyde Park was like a full circle being drawn, and the band were in top form," Keith Richards says about the July 2013 show on the group's website.

Limitation of Attorneys' Fees for Fiscal Years 1999 through 2001
GAO-03-224R: Published: Nov 6, 2002. Publicly Released: Nov 6, 2002.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The District of Columbia appropriations acts for fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001 limited the amount of appropriated funds that could be paid to an attorney representing a prevailing party in an action brought against the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The appropriations act for fiscal year 2002 lifted the caps on attorneys' fees and directed DCPS and GAO to report on judgments awarding attorneys' fees in excess of the limitations imposed in fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001. In May 2002, GAO reported that, for fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001, the appropriations acts' limitations had little if any impact on the total amount of attorneys' fees awarded to prevailing parties in judgments entered by the courts in judicial proceedings brought against DCPS and the act. The District's March 29, 2002 report showed that of the $12.7 million paid for attorneys' fees from its appropriations for 1999 through 2001, $10 million was related to administrative proceedings and $2.7 million was related to judicial proceedings. DCPS reported that the estimated total amount of fees that might have been paid as a result of administrative proceedings was $27.4 million over the 3-year period, as compared to $10 million it actually paid.

Next-gen jazz kids
San Diego's International Academy of Jazz is festival bound
Robert Bush 5 p.m., March 22
When I began practicing yoga over a year ago, I started out with two seventy-five minute classes per week. I increased it to three classes soon after, practicing consistently for many months. It wasn't until recently that I felt I needed more of a challenge, and increased my yoga regimen to four classes--which totals about seven hours of yoga per week.
I would call myself an intermediate practitioner, only, if you look at the first series of ashtanga, I'm still a beginner who struggles mainly with inversions without support.
And then see series two! How can one advance if the yoga studios are sticking to the seventy-five minute routine?
This is where Ashtanga Yoga Center (1905 Calle Barcelona Suite #218) comes in. Ashtanga Yoga Center's baseline is the ninety minute class. The introductory class focuses on basic postures and breathing; it's a clipped version of the full primary series. Here's what I've been looking for: Ashtanga Prep-level 2 and an Intro to First Series-level 2/3. Once you've mastered the asanas or poses and are able to move through the entire first series at one breath per movement, you're ready for First Series-level 3, a two-hour class. Classes cost $18.
I have my work cut out for me. Stay tuned for yoga updates as I increase my regimen.
