40 LOVE Icons: Carling Bassett-Seguso
Published December 04, 2013 12:03
TORONTO, Canada - A few weeks ago, Eugenie Bouchard became the second Canadian ever to receive the WTA's Newcomer Of The Year Award - if she's to catch up with the first Canadian to do it, though, she has her work cut out for her, for that first Canadian to do it was an absolute legend.
Carling Bassett-Seguso emerged through the junior ranks in the early 1980s, actually going as high as No.2 in the world in the juniors. Like Bouchard these days, Bassett-Seguso's glamorous looks shone through - the Toronto native ventured into the worlds of modelling and acting in her teenage years.
The breakout year came in 1983 - she turned pro on January 3, made the quarterfinals of the Australian Open as a 15-year-old and won her first WTA title in Hershey, Pennsylvania. She was the first Canadian ever to win a WTA title - and she was the WTA's Newcomer Of The Year that year.
There would be much more to come over the next several years, including a second WTA title at the still-running French Open lead-up event in Strasbourg in 1987, one Grand Slam semifinal (1984 US Open) and two more Grand Slam quarterfinals (the French Open in 1984 and 1986). She would also go as high as No.8 in the world in 1985, still the only Canadian ever to break into the Top 10 in the WTA Rankings, in fact one of only two to break the Top 20 (Helen Kelesi made it as high as No.13).
Originally Bassett, she married American player Robert Seguso on October 17, 1987 and had her first child in 1988. She has had more children but returned to the tour a few times as a mother over the next few years, eventually playing her last tournament at Miami in 1996. Since then the pair has kept busy with a tennis academy, coaching their kids and more - Bassett-Seguso commentated too.
Can Bouchard emulate Bassett-Seguso's breakthrough youth and break into the Top 10? Will another Canadian, Aleksandra Wozniak, keep her current comeback from injury going and do it too? Wozniak nearly became the third Canadian to break the Top 20 after all, making it to No.21 a few years ago.
Time will tell - but for now, Darling Carling remains the brightest beacon of light in Canadian tennis.

Earlier this week, in a 3-1 decision in Macy's Inc., the NLRB applied its controversial Specialty Healthcare decision in upholding as appropriate a bargaining unit that consists of 41 employees in the cosmetics and fragrances department at a Boston-area Macy's store, and excludes all other sales employees at the store. This is the first case in which the NLRB has applied the Specialty Healthcare standard to a retail employer. The NLRB's decision in this highly publicized case is unwelcome news for employers, particularly in the retail industry, as it provides support for unions' increasing efforts in seeking to organize "micro-units" consisting of small, discrete subsets of employees.
Summary of the Case
Macy's employs approximately 120 sales employees at its Saugus, Massachusetts store, and the employees are organized into 11 departments. The union filed a representation petition with the NLRB in which it sought to represent only the 41 employees in the cosmetics and fragrances department. That sales department is located on two different floors of the store—women's products are sold on one floor and men's products are sold on another. In November 2012, the Regional Director issued a decision and direction of election, finding that the union's petitioned-for unit was appropriate. Macy's then appealed the Regional Director's decision by filing a request for review with the NLRB.
On appeal, Macy's urged the NLRB to reject the petitioned-for unit as inappropriate, relying on pre-Specialty Healthcare decisions in which the NLRB had established a presumption in favor of storewide or "wall-to-wall" units in the retail industry. Macy's argued that under those precedents, the smallest appropriate unit must include all sales employees at the store, not merely the employees in one of the 11 departments. Macy's also argued that the petitioned-for unit would result in a "fractured" unit because the cosmetics and fragrances employees shared an overwhelming community of interest with the other sales employees.
The NLRB majority, which consisted of Chairman Pearce and Members Hirozawa and Schiffer, rejected Macy's arguments and affirmed the Regional Director's decision. Applying the standards established in Specialty Healthcare, the NLRB found that the petitioned-for unit was appropriate because the 41 cosmetics and fragrances employees are a "readily identifiable group who share a community of interest," and Macy's had not satisfied its burden of establishing an "overwhelming" community of interest between those employees and the sales employees in the store's 10 other departments.
The NLRB found "particularly significant" the fact that the unit tracked the departmental dividing line that Macy's had drawn. In comparing the cosmetics and fragrances employees to other sales employees, the NLRB emphasized that the employees worked in separate departments, reported to different supervisors, worked in separate physical spaces, and there was no significant contact between the employees. The NLRB distinguished the decisions cited by Macy's, and stated that more recent NLRB decisions have "evolved away from the presumptions favoring storewide units." The majority also dismissed as "speculative" Macy's suggestion that the application of the Specialty Healthcare standard to the retail industry would substantially harm Macy's and other retail stores.
Member Miscimarra wrote a lengthy dissent in which he concluded that the bargained-for unit of only cosmetics and fragrances employees was not appropriate under any standard. Rather, he agreed with Macy's that the smallest appropriate unit would include all of the 120 sales employees who work at the store. Member Miscimarra also confirmed his disagreement with Specialty Healthcare, stating that he "would not apply Specialty Healthcare [in this case] or in any other decision."
Insights for Employers
The NLRB's decision in Macy's Inc. is significant because it will continue to allow unions to strategically control the composition of a bargaining unit, which is a critical factor in a union's ability to prevail in a union election. Employers must therefore be mindful of this issue in preparing for and responding to union organizing campaigns, as unions are increasingly seeking to organize the smallest subset of employees which they believe they can secure a majority of supporters.
On a broader scale, this case illustrates that despite its recent loss before the U.S. Supreme Court in Noel Canning the NLRB's democratic majority is continuing to actively advance its pro-union agenda.

The good, bad and everything in between: Carnival Legend Cruise Review by jm88
Overall Member Rating
The good, bad and everything in between
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
Got on board and food was being served on Deck 9. All of our breakfasts and lunches were eaten on deck 9 at the Unicorn buffet stations. These had good choices and the food was overall very good.
We were a party of 6 in three rooms - 4 teens and two adults.
Here's a brief overview of good and bad:
Truffles Restaurant - food was good and service for the most part was also very attentive. We brought two bottles of wine and the corkage fee is $10 per bottle (although they did not charge for the second bottle). Wine selection is just OK but we found a good Italian Barolo that we had on two separate nights. Wine by the glass took forever to come, so we only did that one night. We did not go to the speciality restaurant ($30pp additional) as the food was More fine in Truffles.
Entertainment - some good and some not so good. The juggler and the ventriloquist were outstanding. Another comedian was great but one comedian was struggling to make anyone laugh - almost felt sorry for him. The marriage show was a disaster but could have been very entertaining if done differently.
Pools - large bathtubs is apt bit most cruise ships are probably the same. The only section was small so you had to get there by 8AM for any chance of getting a chair.
Smoking Policy - probably the most annoying thing on the ship. Smoking is allowed in the casino, but you have to pass through the casino to get to other places and the smoke fouls the entire floor and part of the floor above. Also smoking is allowed in some of the lounges which made it difficult to enter these places as well (for non-smokers).
Rooms - workers kept them clean and serviced them several time each day. o complaints.
Cozumel - got off the boat and hired our own excursion (beach, snorkling, tequila tour). Got out before the cruise excursions at half the price (theme that would be repeated in Belize).
Belize - did cave tubing and zip line tour through cavetubing.com. Paid $75pp vs. $160 cruise price. We got the first tender to shore and our bus was first to leave the site. Great trip and very good service and half the price.
Roatan - great port but only there for a short time. Went to the local beach, so no excursion. They half a chair lift that takes you from the boat to the beach but at a ridiculous $12pp. It's about a 90 second walk, but I think that maybe folks thought they had to take the chair otherwise there is no explanation for spending $12 for a slow moving chair that goes 1000 feet.
Grand Cayman was last and we took a cab to the beach. Again getting an excursion on land will save half and do the same as what you book on the cruise. I had already been to the turtle farm, etc. so going to the beach was fine.
Getting off the boat was quick. Going to the airport we umped into a cab (6 of us for $25) vs most people going into the garage for the $10pp Blue One buses. We were off the boat, through customs and at the airport in about 20 minutes.
Overall the trip and cruise was fine. The teens had a great time and my wife and I got to relax without having to keep an eye on the kids. Less

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
State Dept. Didn't Think Abdulmutallab Had Visa -- Because Of A Misspelling
Mr. Abdulmutallab possessed a U.S. visa, but this fact was not correlated with the concerns of Mr. Abdulmutallab's father about Mr. Abdulmutallab's potential radicalization. A misspelling of Mr. Abdulmutallab's name initially resulted in the State Department believing he did not have a valid U.S. visa. A determination to revoke his visa however would have only occurred if there had been a successful integration of intelligence by the CT [counterterrorism] community, resulting in his being watchlisted.
While the review is less than clear on this point, what the passage appears to mean is this: once Abdulmutallab's father visited U.S. embassy officials in November to express concerns about his son, the State Department should have reviewed the status of his visa, but didn't because of the misspelling. But even if State had realized Abdulmutallab had a visa, it wouldn't have been revoked because he wasn't "watchlisted."
Abdulmutallab's name was reportedly put in a large terrorism database, but not on any flight watch lists.
A State Department official told TPM the name was misspelled by one letter when Abdulmutallab's father spoke to the embassy.
The official said changes are going in to place to avoid a repeat of the problem, so every system will recognize misspelled words, but emphasized that the error didn't have an effect on whether the Nigerian would have been flagged as a possible threat.
"If the affairs officer had spelled it right and it popped back to say he has a visa that would not have been included" in what was sent to the National Counterterrorism Center, the official said.
(Additional reporting by Christina Bellantoni)
Late 1/8/10 Update: Foreign Policy seems to get to the bottom of the issue -- and why the misspelling per se doesn't matter much -- in this post:
So the State Department and the intelligence community had the wrong spelling of the underwear bomber's name for more than a month, which would have been a problem in finding out he had a visa, had anybody decided it was worth it to check.
And even if the visa had been found, it would not have been revoked because, as noted above, Abdulmutallab was not on a watch list.

Disney sells Halloween wiener, black drink
ANAHEIM – Disney visitors not only will see "Frankenweenie" at California Adventure, they will also get a taste of it.
Disney California Adventure is making a Frank-n-Weenie – a sausage sandwich meant to look like the dog character in the upcoming "Frankenweenie" movie. Diners can wash down the wiener with black-and-white lemonade.
The menu items will sell at Award Wieners, a food spot across from the Animation Building where a "Frankenweenie" exhibit will run through Nov. 5. A clip of the Tim Burton movie is showing at a theater behind Award Wieners. The new features begin Friday as the Disneyland Resort with its popular Halloween Time season.
Frank-n-Weenie is a pork sausage wrapped in bacon, topped with barbecue sauce and sautéed onions and apple slices and inside an onion-jalapeno bun. The cost: $7.19 plus tax.
"The reason why we are wrapping it in bacon is it is recreating the stitches from the dog," said Christine Weissman, executive chef for the Disneyland Resort. "It looks like the dog in the movie."
The black Franken-Fusion Lemonade will be topped with white, lemon-lime foam – a tie-in to the black-and white animated film. The concoction's base is Minute Maid light lemonade that will have wild grape and blackberry flavoring added. It will be $4.49 plus tax.
"I will say it's a shocker," said Karlos Siqueiros, a concept-development manager. "You think you are going to taste tar and out comes this amazing lemonade."
Disneyland will have its own Halloween food, including:
•A cream puff with dulce de leche filling at Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante.
Pumpkin beignets with vanilla cream anglaise at Café Orleans.
A white chocolate-mousse cake shaped like a coffin at the French Market.
•Carnation Café is making a bone-in pork chop with roasted purple potatoes and a "blood" blackberry sauce that forms a spider web.
•Blue Bayou offers a pan-roasted wild boar with blood orange, fruit reduction sauce and layered with purple and sweet tomatoes, cheese and a melon skewer.

9Hemp Twine: An Eco Alternative to Baker's Twine
Baker's twine is all the rage, but conventional cotton leaves a lot to be desired, from an eco perspective. Hemp twine to the rescue!
Oh, baker's twine! You are so beautiful. Unfortunately, since baker's twine is made from conventional cotton, that means it's also most likely genetically modified and it's definitely grown with a huge amount of toxic pesticides.
Luckily, green crafters don't have to forgo all of the bakers twin-y fun thanks to the power of hemp. Unlike cotton, hemp is not genetically modified, and it takes very little water and few pesticides to grow. Hemp is popular for eco-friendly sewing, but fabric isn't the only use for this wonder fiber.
Hemp Twine
The folks at Global Hemp recently reached out to us about their hemp twine products, and they even have a hemp baker's twine on offer:
One interesting point that they made was about the origins of their fiber. Here's what they had to say:
We get an initial negative response to our products being made in China, but China is the world capital of hemp textiles. We can't grow in the US and Canada grows hemp for seed, not fiber. We have mainly ladies who produce the cordage and they are paid by the hour, not by piece-work. They ride bikes to work (they don't live at work), and they made over 2 times minimum wage for their region. There are no young labors. Most ladies are in the 20's-50's.
Not only can you use hemp twine in place of baker's twine in craft projects, but it's great for making jewelry, scrapbooking, or even in the garden.

But is this life reality? No. It is a film.
Sort by:

Add items to section
The Holy Mountain
This film is trippy. Although a lot of people automatically think 'oh this is a film about drugs' or 'oh the director of this movie was totally on drugs'. These statements may hold some truth, but this movie is so much more than that. This film actually has a plot and characters. The movie is about a group of people on the search for immortality and along the way find enlightenment instead. Be forewarned this trailer is deep and can be surprisingly frightening.
Add items to section
Waking Life
This film is quite trippy I must say. A film about lucid dreaming. I don't know if you have ever had a lucid dream, but it's pretty crazy and intense. Also the main character is played by Wiley Wiggins which is also awesome. Last thing to note, if you have a hard time watching a movie about complex subjects dealing with psychology, social relations and quantum physics then it's probably a film you will not enjoy.
Add items to section
Mind Game
Mind Game is such a bizarre movie. I can't even begin to explain what happens. You just have to watch it. This movie makes Paprika look tame. There is also a lot of sexuality portrayed in this film. My personal favorite is the love making scene, it's so well done. But alas if I were to use that clip it would be a spoiler.
Add items to section
Enter The Void
This film is absoultely nuts as well. So many 'seizure' moments, especially in the opening credits. A lot of pretty visuals. Must forewarn. not for the light hearted. Some pretty bloody scenes, lots of sexuality. If you can handle raw cinematography. I suggest it.
Add items to section
This film is very well done. It's a visual film. No script, main characters, or plot really just music and cinematography of different places and people. Mostly the modern way of life. I must say though, the only reason I gave this movie a low score is because it disturbed me, quite deeply. I've never had a movie make me feel the way this movie does. After watching this film I had a hard time getting to sleep. Something about the main music score and the overall message of the film just got under my skin. I guess that's why it's such a highly recommended film?
Add items to section
The Girl That Leapt Through Time
This film is soooo good. I actually have a tattoo on my wrist of an 01, in the exact style the main character has hers. That's how much I love this movie. I picked 2 videos for this one because there 2 really good scenes I found of the artistic quality, and of course trippyness (is that a word? lol)to represent this film. If your looking for a more family friendly, mind twisting movie this one is a great choice.
Add items to section
The Wall
The Wall is a classic. Very depressing and dark. But visually and musically stunning. Can't say much more about it. Trippy? Of course. Be forewarned if you haven't seen the film, the video I chose is deep and depressing.
Add items to section
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I'm going to start this by saying Johnny Depp is amazing, playing Hunter S. Thompson. This movie has so many trippy moments it's almost not funny. But how can it not be funny? The entire movie is about... drugs.
Add items to section
A Scanner Darkly
I love Philip K. Dick. I also love this movie. Very well done artistically. The same style as Waking Life, as well as same director.
Add items to section
Alice in Wonderland
It doesn't matter which version. Watch them all. They will ALL be as equally trippy. Also the video I chose pretty much sums it up.
Add items to section
Yellow Submarine
I love the Beatles. I have so many awesome memories with this film. It's so bizarre and out there. The animation is one of a kind. A must see in my opinion. (Also, very trippy.)
Add items to section
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is so cute. Also it has to do with erasing memories, and everyone knows when you erase memories some PRETTY TRIPPY THINGS HAPPEN. You have to see it if you haven't yet. Lastly, I love Jim Carrey.
Add items to section
Requiem For a Dream
Requiem For a Dream is a very messed up, depressing film, but also very eye opening. It shows so many ideas such as how messed up media can be, what exactly you can buy with money, and the dangers certain life styles can bring. Jared Leto did an awesome job playing the main character in this film. (before he became a glam rock star.) So if you want to see an awesome film with a hot Jennifer Connelly and a before egotistical Jared Leto, go see this film.
Add items to section
Disney, if you like it or hate it, has a tremendous amount of material and rules a lot of the animation ground in the United States. Honestly the 'Fantasia' series of films is my favorite. It totally makes this list. If you don't know why, just watch this.
Add items to section
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Such a classic. Everything about this film is trippy. I highly prefer the Gene Wilder version. No one (not even Johnny Depp) can replace Gene Wilder.
Add items to section
Across the Universe
I love musicals. Especially ones dealing with The Beatles. A lot of people don't like this film because they believe the songs are 'butchered'. I feel that if you are truly a Beatles fan then you can respect it on some level and have some good input about it.
This is my personal favorite scene.
This is my personal favorite scene.

Fantastic Planet
This film is about a planet of blue giants who keep humans as pets. Can't really explain much else.
Add items to section
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
I've honestly only seen this movie once, but I did enjoy it. Awesome cast, too many to name. Such an amazing fantasy world and a magical story that is sure to entertain. Also Heath Ledger's last film (sadly).

Porky in Wackyland
This is just wacky. Proof that the Warner Bros. were on drugs? yes.

It's been a while since I've seen this, but it's kind of hard to forget. Very well made anime, with a crazy plot and out of this world ideas.

The Fountain
There are like 3 different stories going on at the same time in this film. It's such a great movie. All of the stories intertwine and eventually come together. It's quite a beautiful piece of cinematography.

Echoes: Pink Floyd At Pompeii
Can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. Fact. This clip is a bit long (8 mins) but the music and the images they show are just so intoxicating. One of the best documentaries I've seen.
Add items to section
A Clockwork Orange
How could I end this list without this film? It's my favorite film ever. And it's so outrageous and gruesome as well as SUPER colorful (when it needs to be). This movie is on drugs.
This is a list of movies, A list of trippy, out of your mind movies.

I haven't seen 'The Fall' yet but its on my list to watch. So is 'I'm a Cyborg but That's Ok'. I really want to see 'Mr. Nobody' as well. Thanks for the suggestions. :D
Posted: 4 years, 5 months ago at Oct 2 1:45
I've seen waking life 4-5 times and it's given me deeper understanding each time. It has really good philosophic context.
Holy Mountain's extraordinary surrealistic world profoundly affected me. It's unique and astonishing.
The visual of Across The Universe, The Wall and Enter The Void were incredible.
These are my favorites :) I haven't seen Paprika and Fantastic Planet yet, but I will.
Amazing selection and taste. I'm glad to see your list, thank you!

Amnesty International is demanding the release of a 19-year-old blogger and student who has been detained in Syria without charge or access to the outside world since the end of last year.
Amnesty say that the woman, Tal al-Mallohi, was detained by Syria's notorious State Security in the capital Damascus on 27 December, after being summoned there for questioning. Two days later, State Security officers visited Tal al-Mallohi's family home in Homs, 100 miles north of Damascus, and confiscated her computer, some computer disks, notebooks and a mobile phone.
The NGO reportst that since 27 December, none of her family has been allowed to see her. The family's visits to the State Security detention centre have been met with vague assurances of her wellbeing but no information as to why she is being held. There are fears that - like many other prisoners held in Syria - Tal al-Mallohi is at high risk of torture.
Human rights defenders, government critics and advocates of political reform in Syria face constant harassment, arbitrary arrest and detention, though Tal al-Mallohi's family insist she has no political affiliations.
The family suspect her detention may be related to poems and articles published on her blog - http://talmallohi.blogspot.com - as some of these contain references to Syria's restrictions on freedom of expression.
"This is a deeply disturbing case," said Amnesty International's UK Director, Kate Allen, "No-one should be detained just for discussing freedom of expression and if this is why Tal al-Mallohi is behind bars then it's an absolute disgrace".
Allen urged the Syrian authorities to release Tal al-Mallohi or charge her with a recognisable criminal offence.
She added, "To have been held so long in incommunicado detention in Syria, where torture and other ill-treatment is widespread, is doubly troubling. Her family and lawyer should also be granted immediate permission to see her."
Tal al-Mallohi's family has spent the last nine months attempting to find out why she is being held and to gain access to her. In addition to many frustrated attempts to see her at the Damascus detention centre, the family has submitted three written visitation requests to State Security and has sent two internet appeals to the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad urging him to intervene for her release.
As far as Amnesty is aware, no response has been made to these requests or appeals.
Tal al-Mallohi's mother has told Amnesty of her deep concern, saying: "I'm going crazy. I have had chronic insomnia since my daughter's arrest. I survive on sleeping pills".
After one fruitless attempt to see Tal al-Mallohi at the detention centre her mother - who was in a distressed state - was hit by a car outside the building and suffered serious injuries which hospitalised her for two months.
In addition, Allen explained, "Tal al-Mallohi is frail and already suffers from abnormally accelerated heart rate (Tachycardia), and there are real concerns for her health. At the very least she must be allowed the medical treatment she needs."
There are severe restrictions on freedom of expression in Syria and in recent years there have been several cases of people being jailed for their online publications and related activities.
These include Karim Arabji, a blogger who was jailed for three years for moderating an internet youth forum. He was later released under an amnesty. Seven men were sentenced to lengthy prison sentences for their part in developing an online youth discussion group and publishing online articles advocating democratic reform. Their convictions relied on 'confessions' that the men insist were extracted under torture.
Amnesty has previously documented 38 different types of torture and ill-treatment used against detainees in Syria and the organisation has received hundreds of reports of detainees being tortured.

Know Your Console: Art of Console Access
Disable Shutdown via Ctrl+Alt+Del
Comment following line from /etc/inittab file
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
Allow non-privilege user to shutdown
to do so add -a option in a line from /etc/inittab file
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -a -t3 -r now
-a option looks for /etc/shutdown.allow file
create /etc/shutdown.allow in /etc. Add non-privilege user to whom you want to give an
authority to shutdown.
Disable Console Program Access
#rm -f /etc/security/console/apps/*
to disable powerroff, halt or reboot
#rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/{poweroff, halt, reboot}
The pam_console.so module uses the /etc/security/console.perms file to determine the
permissions for users at the system console. The syntax of the file is very flexible; you can edit the file
so that these instructions no longer apply. However, the default file has a line that looks like this:
=tty[0-9][0-9]* vc/[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9]
When users log in, they are attached to some sort of named terminal, which can be either an X server
with a name like :0 or mymachine.example.com:1.0, or a device like /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/
pts/2. The default is to define that local virtual consoles and local X servers are considered local, but
if you want to consider the serial terminal next to you on port /dev/ttyS1 to also be local, you can
change that line to read:
=tty[0-9][0-9]* vc/[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9] /dev/ttyS1

Devin has been selected to the Football recruiting - Top 25 Athletes. Congratulations Devin!
Tom Lemming; He's an immensely talented and quick footed athlete who dominated every game he played in during the 2010 season. He shows a very good arm, superior athletic ability, is an elusive scrambler, and a dynamic runner once he decides to tuck and run. If he decides to remain at QB, he has what it takes to make a difference at that position in college.
Devin has been selected to the Football recruiting - 2012 Top 100. Congratulations Devin!
Tom Lemming: As far as athletic ability is concerned, he should rank among the top 50 players in the country, however, there is a question as to what position Fuller will play in college. His junior film shows a superior talent at QB with a decent arm and tremendous instincts and running ability. He could wind up playing QB, RB, WR or DB in college.

Data privacy laws in Europe have prevented many companies from moving to the cloud. According to research firm Gartner, annual sales of cloud services in Europe, while on the rise, are still roughly half the level of revenue in North America. Will cloud remain the exception rather than the rule in Europe? What are the conditions that will make cloud services take hold in Europe?
Beyond the continent, are cloud-based approaches secure and reliable enough for financial transactions and for government agencies to buy into? Are more companies building their own clouds? What are the benefits and challenges of private cloud versus outsourced cloud?

Senior Jarryd Loyd (Lincolnwood, Ill./Niles West) scored all of his game-high 15 points in the second half, while fellow senior Shawn Huff (Helsinki, Finland/Makelanrinne) put Valparaiso ahead for good with a pair of free throws with 1:01 to play as the Crusaders pulled out a 59-56 win over Detroit on Thursday at the ARC. The win keeps Valpo in the hunt to host a first-round game in the Horizon League tournament.
"I think we didn't play relaxed in the first half," said Crusader head coach Homer Drew. "We were almost too anxious on senior night to send the seniors out with a win, and it seemed to cause us to play tight. But I was very proud of our team's moxie in the second half when we faced the 10-point deficit. We relaxed and started hitting shots, and got the hard-fought win."
The first half was a tightly contested 20 minutes of basketball dominated mostly by the defenses, as the Crusaders hit just seven first-half field goals and Detroit only six. Jake Diebler (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky) broke a 17-all tie with a fast break 3-pointer 1:30 before halftime to put Valpo up 20-17 at the break.
Detroit's defense held Valpo without a field goal for the first six minutes of the second half as well, enabling the Titans to go on a 16-3 run coming out of halftime. Four different Detroit players knocked down 3-pointers during the spurt, with Nemanja Jokic giving the Titans their biggest lead at 33-23 with 14:24 to play.
But the Crusaders slowly chipped away at the lead, with their seniors at the forefront of the effort. Huff knocked down a 3-pointer at the 13:54 mark to snap Detroit's run, and another triple from the Helsinki native brought Valpo back to within five at 37-32 with 11:09 to play. Junior Urule Igbavboa (Oakdale, Minn./Tartan) also stepped up, scoring seven crucial points during the middle portion of the second half to keep Valpo within five.
Then it was Loyd's turn to put the Crusaders on his back. Following a Detroit basket, Loyd converted a 3-point play on a baseline jumper to pull Valpo within four points. After Diebler deflected a Titan shot, Loyd grabbed the rebound and knocked down a fast break triple to cut the deficit to one point at 43-42 with 7:48 to play.
A 3-point play by the Titans put them ahead by four, but Loyd tallied a fast-break assist on Brandon McPherson's (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) layup and put Valpo ahead for the first time since early in the second half on a 3-pointer with 5:20 to play. Jokic canned a triple on Detroit's next possession, but Loyd found Diebler for a 3-pointer of his own to put Valpo up 50-49 with 4:30 remaining.
Detroit went back on top with four minutes to play on a pair of free throws, but again Loyd stepped up, nailing a long jumper on the Crusaders' next trip down the court. An offensive foul on Detroit was followed by Loyd finding McPherson for a 3-pointer to put the Crusaders up 55-51 with 2:59 to play. The Titans scored the next four points to tie the game, but Huff and Loyd came through at the free throw stripe, as Huff broke the tie with 1:01 to play and Loyd knocked down two critical freebies with 33 seconds to play for the final margin.
"Our guys just stepped up and made a number of big shots in the second half," said Drew. "They also did a great job at the free throw line, going 9-for-10 in the second half, with the seniors closing the game out there. Our defense did a fantastic job of forcing a tough shot on Detroit's final possession. This was a great win for us, and it still gives us the chance to host a home game in the tournament."
Loyd led the Crusaders with his 15 points, including a 5-for-5 night at the foul line, and added a game-high five assists. Huff scored 14 points on 4-for-5 shooting, while Diebler reached double figures with 11 points. Igbavboa chipped in nine points and a game-best nine rebounds.
Josh Samarco paced Detroit (7-21, 3-14 Horizon) with 15 points, while Eulis Stephens scored 14 points of his own. Jokic came off the bench to put up 11 points and seven rebounds.
Valpo celebrated Senior Night Thursday night at the ARC in the last regular-season night game for the Crusader seniors. Huff, Loyd, and Calum MacLeod (Wellington, New Zealand/Hutt Valley [Northeastern J.C.], the three Crusader senior players, were honored prior to the game along with senior managers Tim Oestmann and Paul Krueger, and each addressed the crowd following the game.
Valparaiso (18-12, 8-9 Horizon) hosts its third game on an ESPN network in under a month's time on Saturday, as Wright State comes to the ARC for an 11 a.m. CST tip on ESPN2. The game can be heard, as always, on the Valpo Sports Radio Network (WVUR, 95.1 FM, Valparaiso; WEFM, 95.9 FM, Michigan City; WAKE, 1500 AM, Valparaiso; WWLO, 89.1 FM, Lowell) or online at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Todd Ickow and Adam Amin's call will also be carried across North America on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 127.

For Historic Nebraska Building, Fire, Then Ice, Then Sunshine
More than 40 buildings in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the Omaha World Herald. One of those Main Street Historic District buildings was gutted by fire on Friday.
The Waterman Opera House, first erected in 1882, has changed quite a bit over the past 130 years. Until this week it housed Quart House Pub, the Cass Family Medicine clinic and the Plattsmouth Chiropractic Center and apartments.
After firefighters sprayed water to put out the fire, the building froze over. Then the sunlight streamed through the windows, and this sad, gorgeous postcard of a photo was born:
Some close-ups of the surrounding areas:
• Liliger Cubs Grow Up So Fast These Days!
• Lion-Eagles Whiteout Produced Some Truly Majestic Football Photos

A urostomy is an opening in the abdomen created by a surgical procedure (a radical cystectomy) that allows urine to flow to the outside of the body where it can be collected into a bag. It is done when the bladder is either not functioning or has to be removed.
Common reasons for a urostomy include having bladder cancer, a spinal cord injury, or a birth defect such as spina bifida.

Since the economy tanked, steel girders of the Shops at Summerlin have been standing like silent sentinels just south of Red Rock Resort, 11011 W. Charleston Blvd. That will change in the coming months, according to Tom Warden of The Howard Hughes Corp.
"Construction is under way," said Warden, senior vice president of community and government relations for Hughes Corp. "It's getting built."
He spoke to the community at Las Ventanas, 10401 W. Charleston Blvd., on June 26.
The Shops at Summerlin is a 106-acre site. Warden said plans call for three anchor department stores and about 125 shops, restaurants and businesses, with the steel sentinel becoming eight stories of Class A office space on top of one story of retail.
"It's, for all intents and purposes, the type of shopping that people go to the mall for, although this is not going to be an enclosed mall," Warden said. "This will be an urban grid."
He said the shopping center probably will open in late 2014 or early 2015.
The construction was put on hold in 2008 after the economy spiraled into a tailspin.
"I tried to explain to the media that it wasn't a stalled project, it was a 'steel sculpture garden,' " Warden joked. "But that didn't fly, did it? No, the fact is that that was a GGP (General Growth Properties) project –– the prior company that we were a part of –– and it dissolved, and now it's (the Shops at Summerlin) going to be totally redone. It's a totally new design."
Final plans were not yet determined, but he said the new design would utilize much of the already-standing steel, with some pieces set to be removed due to the redesign. Although exposed for years after the site closed down, the steel has been found to be in good shape, he said.
"Just a little bit of maintenance needs to be done," Warden said. "We have equipment on site — maybe you've seen the earth movers and bulldozers — but we are actually working on some of the soil issues around there."
At a follow-up interview on July 9, Warden said motorists on the Las Vegas Beltway, which abuts the 106 acres, would see structures going up as soon as the ground was prepared.
"I think you will see vertical construction within a few weeks," Warden said.
The possibility of a shopping center with upper-end stores appealed to Sally, a Summerlin resident who asked that her last name not be used.
"I think it would be wonderful," she said. "The area can use those types of shops. Then there'd be no reason to go down to the Fashion Show mall."
She said the store brands she'd like to see include Williams-Sonoma and Nordstrom. Dillard's and Macy's have signed on as major department stores.
Sports enthusiasts are more concerned with whether plans to center the site include a baseball stadium, because Hughes Corp. and some partners recently acquired the Las Vegas 51s baseball team, part of the Pacific Coast League. Warden said no decision has been made on what the centering element will be but that a stadium was one possibility.
"The first step was acquiring the team," Warden said. "That's now been done. The next step is to pull together the stakeholders. That would be the city, the county, also the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. ... Bottom line, we hope we can pull together all the groups involved and figure out how to build this stadium."
Warden said a baseball stadium, including parking, would require 20 acres. Hughes Corp. representatives have visited baseball parks in other cities, including Reno, Sacramento, Calif., and Columbus, Ohio.
Jesse Budos, who lives in the area, said he had not heard of the possibility of a baseball team coming to Summerlin but liked the idea.
"I'd go and watch the games once in the while," he said. His buddy, Jeremy Fiel, said he'd like to see a sports team headquartered in Summerlin.
"We need some entertainment out here," Fiel said.
Warden said if a baseball complex does go in, it will likely seat 8,000 to 10,000 people, but he couched that by saying, "That's if we decide to go in that direction. If that doesn't get built there, there could be an urban park, a park that would have an amphitheater or it could have office product, office towers, in there."
Red Rock Resort briefly offered an 8,800-seat amphitheater but closed the venue in early 2013.
What has been the biggest stumbling block to Hughes Corp.'s growth plans?
"The economy has really made development of all types tight across the country, and I think you'd be very hard-pressed to find a regional retail shopping area of this magnitude going forward in today's economy, anywhere in the country, really," Warden said. "So, I would say this is one of probably a very small handful of potential locations for regional retail. And that's why, now, we finally got the attention of the regional retailers, because during the downturn no one wanted to think about investing capital. But the market is waking up now. The retail market is going through a reawakening."
Another Hughes Corp. parcel, about 200 acres, lies directly east of the Shops at Summerlin site. It will be developed with plans for townhomes, dining and a variety of entertainment venues.

via: Wren Fall 14 – First Kiss Video
Wren, a Los Angeles based womenswear brand founded in 2007 by Melissa Coker, commissioned short filmmaker, Tatia Pilieve, and together asked 20 strangers to kiss for the first time for their Fall14 collection.
With music by French singer and actress, Soko, 'we might be dead tomorrow' – this video project showcases the beauty of a 'First Kiss'. The couples' reactions ranged from giddy excitement, nervous hesitation, adorable cautiousness, "…I'll just follow your lead", to sexy curiosity, etc.
I had to have watched this video more than 20 times, wrapped up in fascination; it's an innocent voyeurism to be sure, but I bet the video will make anyone want to go grab someone for a smooch! I genuinely hope the couple at the 2:06 mark got together afterward, their chemistry was amazing!
On Twitter, PLEASE follow @wrenstudio, video by @tati_p, music by @soKothecat; and the lovely @Zeezerizer is the woman in that steamy pair at 2:06 (the one that hilariously asks, "what's your name again?")! I dare you not to love this, watch #FirstKissVideo and get it trending…and also? Take a moment to look at the chic clothing Wren has to offer on their website! Dipped in Cream LOVES Wren!

This multi-culti recipe brings a moroccan flavor (the spice blend ras-el-hanout) to pastitsio, the classic Greek pasta dish.
Leave a Review
I followed the recipe exactly. I made my ras el hanoute from fresh spices I had purchased on a trip to India. The recipe took a lot of time, but the result was excellent. I added almost no salt. The other spices blended beautifully. This recipe is definitely one I will make again.
I made a half batch and cut all measurements accordingly except the mint. Could not find dried mint so I doubled the amount directed and used fresh--but I couldn't taste it at all in the end product. Also, since I am vegetarian I substituted a 12-oz pkg of Trader Joe's frozen mushroom medley for the lamb. (If/when I make a full batch I would use two 12-oz pkgs.) Casserole makes a lot of dirty dishes but it tastes great. Only minor complaint was that the pasta on the bottom of the dish got a wee bit tough bordering on crunchy. I have a similar recipe that directs baking it at 375 for 40 minutes vs 400 so I will make a note and do that next time.
So good, easy to make, healthy, and very different from anything I've made before. Definitely a keeper.
I made the Moroccan Spiced Pastitsio with Lamb and Feta last evening, and it was a real hit. I felt that 1 pound of lamb wasn't going to be sufficient for 10 servings, so I doubled the lamb without changing the other proportions of the other ingredients. It was still marvelous. I couldn't find the ras el hanout in the stores near me, but made it from a recipe on the internet (http://www.food.com/recipe/ras-el-hanout-moroccan-spice-mix-262189) and it worked perfectly. Everyone at the table gave the dish a 2 thumbs up. I will definitely make it again and again.
Excellent. Time-consuming, but so, so worth it. Definite make-again!
I made my own ras-al-hanout from Mourad's New Morroccan cookbook. Toasting the spices filled my kitchen with that wonderful aroma! This pastitsio is very tasty, however, I think this dish is very heavy on the cumin. Ras-al-hanout already has toasted cumin seed and cinnamon in it. If I make this again, I'll amp up the ras-al-hanout and turn down the cumin and cinnamon. The cumin dominates the dish as prepared exactly per the recipe.
I thought the flavors here were just right. I used Greek yogurt instead of feta in the bechamel. The end result was cohesive without being a solid mass. I was using a low gluten pasta and the box had 13oz instead of the 1lb and the ratio was nice and meaty/saucy. Was too "spicy" for my 6 year old, but I think it was the gaminess of the lamb. Fantastic for everyone else!
The flavors were delicious. This is a very rich dish. The only change I would make is cutting the egg whites at least by half. The pasta was too stuck together. I might also use another 4-8 oz of pasta. That is to your personal preference. I enjoyed this and will make it again.
Extraordinary flavors, delicious all around. I didn't add the mint b/c I ran out but it came out fine without it. I will be making this many more times in future, and my future children shall call it 'Dad's Awesome Greek Lasagna'. I was able to buy some ras-el-hanout from a Lebanese grocer in Pittsburgh's Strip District, once we run out of that will make my own using the recipes other comments have left. The recipe is simple but, purely in terms of the number of pots on the stove, you will have a fair bit going on at the same time. Nothing a confident home cook can't manage, and I found the 40' baking time was perfect to clean up the kitchen.

The Asics ZR450 Mesh Sling Bag is a great all around bag for any athlete. These bags have so many uses that it has become an essential for me as an athlete. The mesh is what makes this bag such a great option in my opinion because that means the bag is breathable! To start, this is a great bag to put shoes or knee pads in to help them air out after a long practice. If you are looking for a mesh bag, though, that clips on to your backpack for knee pads, the Smelly Knees Knee Pad Bag would be a better option.This bag is also great to put a change of clothes in for PE, practice clothes, after practice clothes, swim clothes, gym clothes, you name it! This bag is also great because it is machine washable which means it would be great to keep smaller laundry items, such as socks, in their own bag so they get washed but then they all stay together! I also love that this has straps so you could wear it like a backpack. It also has a small zippered front pouch to keep your personal items secure and safe. It also has tons of fun colors to make anyone happy!
Another great sack pack option is the Adidas Burst Volleyball Sackpack. This is made of great quality fabric and is a bit stronger of material to hold heavier items than the Asics mesh bag would be able to comfortably hold. The Sling Pack Bag - Volleyball Tie Dye is fun because of all the color options it has with the word "volleyball" in tie dye. This bag would be a great gift option as well!
