- The Barclays
Mickelson hoping for Olympic place
Phil Mickelson has targeted a place at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, which will mark the first time since 1904 that golf will be a feature of the Games.
To make the US Olympic team, Mickelson will need to be in the top 15 of the world rankings as of July 11 that year where each country is limited to four players.
"I don't know why it's so important to me but it is," Mickelson said ahead of The Barclays. "I want to be a 46-year-old Olympian. So 2015 and 2016 are years I want to really focus on and I want to make sure I'm ready again."
Mickelson arrived at the Ridgewood Country Club for this year's first leg of the four-event FedEx Cup Play-offs after a second-placed finish at the US PGA Championship, his best finish of the season.
'It's for the good of the team'
- Tiger Woods says he made himself unavailable for the Ryder Cup out of consideration for his team-mates before revealing he will not pick up a club again for at least another month.
- Click here to continue reading
"The PGA was a big week for me because it was the first time this year my game was back," Mickelson added.
"It gave me an excitement and energy heading into the FedEx Cup and Barclays here that my game is back and I'm ready to compete and get back into contention.
"It was so fun being up there again, and the nerves and the excitement of it all, it got me excited."
There was mild controversy during the final round of the US PGA Championship concerning the officials' handling of the final hole. Eventual champion Rory McIlroy and his group were allowed to play their second shots on the last hole before Mickelson and Rickie Fowler, playing one group ahead, could finish the hole.
However, Mickelson said that the decision had no effect on the outcome of the tournament.
"It's very common for us to have players run ahead, tee off ... that's absolutely normal," Mickelson admitted.
"What we don't normally do on the PGA Tour, which is not a big deal, is play up the last hole together. We usually tee off and then the groups fall back in order.
"That was the only difference we did but it's not going to affect the outcome. It's only going to help the event finish on Sunday with all the people there rather than come back the next morning for just a couple shots."
Mickelson's performance at the US PGA Championship helped him secure a record 10th straight Ryder Cup appearance.
Yet, his immediate concern is to perform well in the Barclays and compete for the £8 million prize money on offer for the eventual winner, an award he has never taken in the eight-year history of the series.
Failure to win one of the four Play-off events will mark the first time since 2003 that Mickelson has not won on the PGA Tour, potentially ending the longest current streak of 10 consecutive years with at least one victory.

LA Local The Best Steakhouses in Los Angeles
List Rules Only restaurants in LA that are primarily known as steakhouses
A list of the best steakhouses in Los Angeles. While the city isn't as renowned as New York and Chicago, Los Angeles has its fair share of great steakhouses. While steak and Los Angeles may not go together like the city's more celebrated health-conscious dining halls, that doesn't mean there's a lack of steakhouses for the city's carnivores. The beauty of the L.A. dining scene is that it offers a variety of food choices, which includes the options of steak lovers as well. The best steakhouses in California are also known for serving local humanely raised beef as well as farm-raised chicken, fresh local vegetables, and top grade seafood.
LA is home to a multitude of national chains like The Palm Restaurant, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Wolfgang's, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, along with local chains like Mastro's and local favorites like Taylor's. What links these different restaurants together is one common goal: to have the best cut of meat possible. Many of these places succeed and hence, are on our list of the best steakhouses in Los Angeles.This list is based on Thrillist's recent take on the best steakhouse in Los Angeles.

Magazine article Editor & Publisher
Confirmed: Philly Newspaper Execs Got Bonuses as Bankruptcy Loomed
Article excerpt
op executives of Philadelphia Newspapers received year-end bonuses in December, weeks before the company filed for bankruptcy and reported $395 million in outstanding debt.
Chief Executive Brian Tierney and two others were doing a "very good job" and had not gotten raises since an investor group led by Tierney and others bought the company in 2006, Chairman Bruce Toll told The Associated Press on Monday.
The company operates The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News.
According to a Philadelphia Magazine blog that broke the story over the weekend, Toll said that Tierney received a $350,000 bonus and two others $150,000 each. On Monday, Toll told the AP that he does not remember the amounts.
He conceded that the board approved the bonuses -- and pay raises that have since been rescinded -- despite the company's bleak financial outlook.
"We weren't making money, we knew that. We just thought to keep some of these people here, I guess, that it was appropriate," Toll said.
He voiced no opinion on whether the bonuses should be returned.
"I don't feel that I should, myself, decide whether or not anybody should give (them) back," he said. …

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Community' started by Nermal, Jan 11, 2004.
Compare this...
With this:
it's no biggie using Stock photography, you can always buy exclusive usage rights if you're that bothered about some other comapny using the same image.
On the ad boards on the Underground you see it relatively frequently, then you emerge from the depths and you see the same image on the side of a bus.
Over here, photographers have really priced themselves out of the mainstream, so companies use stock images instead, and you can usually get the exact image you want for a tiny fraction of the cost it would require to comission a Photographer to grab a similar kind of thing.
If you're lucky enough to be working on a serious budget Nike campaign for instance, then of course it has to be bepoke, but for less brand centric stuff, Stock is the way to go.
There's a guy with a Kojak that keeps cropping up alot in London.... heheheh
That's what royalty free stock will do for u.
I have to admit though, the Microsoft treatement of the image is far more aesthetically pleasing than the banner thingy....
well, it might just be the people doing the work - if they had managed to get the white outline off of the woman in the banner it would look a lot better.
But design wise, the MS one is better.
Good point. Although I rarely see times in real life where people are posing in front of grey and black graduated tones. haha
A little better
LOL Mr. A, you should e-mail that to them and then offer your freelance service for ad cleanup.
I guess I should have mentioned this in the original post: OSDN Personals is run by the Open Source Development Network. And, as we all know, Microsoft is probably the least open-source company out there! Just makes it all the funnier
And now it's disappeared from MS' website!
Seems a bit odd - how long had it been there?
When I was in art school, the teachers steered us away from doing any type of stock work unless desperate for cash. I was in Illustration, but this was taught to the Photo students as well. If you do a lot of work and turn it over for a stock album, you're pretty much just giving your work away. Unless you luck out and someone buys the rights, all you get are royalties.
I've never done stock work myself though, so I only know one side of the coin.
Since Macworld. I was going to post it earlier, but I had to wait until I saw the "meet someone" banner to roll around again so that I could take a copy of it.
But you wouldn't turn over all of your work though would you??
I know some photographers that only send off images for Stock Library inclusion that they know they'll never use, and or aren't as good as other images they've taken of that particular subject. In which case they receive an income for something that would normally have never seen the light of day.
From my experience though, in design agencies, it's a rare, rare day when you get a project in which allows a budget for bespoke photography.... or atleast decent quality photography.
The cost is simply too high when you can get exclusive rights, and the images you want for far less from an Stock Library than the cost of comissioning a photographer, who may not get 'that' shot, budget requirements dictate the projects, and photographers have (not all of them mind) priced themselves out of the market for lower-mid budget projects.
If I need a image of the Sahara, it's alot cheaper to buy from a Stock Library then to comission a Photograper to actually go there, and it can be too time consuming to track down a photographer who may just have a Sahara shot in their collection, in which case it's the same as sourcing from a Stock Library, just on a smaller scale.
If however I'm doing a project for Nike for example, they'll likely have an X budget, and will require their product in shot, that's when bespoke comes to the fore, and the Photographers budget will likely reflect that and I can send them to a desert/mountain/forest for that new Nike Zoom Air 3 Trail running shoe in situ....

Search Engine Optimization
As search engine marketing professionals, we often wonder where the future of search is headed. We spend hours researching trends and examining algorithm shifts. In the past several months, there have been some exciting and intriguing changes in the world of search, most of which are have been pioneered by Google. These changes seem to indicate that search is moving in a direction that favors mobile device use and predictive capabilities based on user behavior, along with other real-time factors. Below we'll discuss a few of the recent trends that signal the future of online search is happening right now.
While Google's "Conversational Search" functionality was originally released two years ago, the major difference today is the increased interaction that the "search by voice" function provides to users. On mobile devices, iPhone users may compare the updated Google "Voice Assistant" to Siri's interactive functionality. What is exciting is that Google has made that same type of conversational search experience available to desktop users. In Chrome, searchers can use the "search by voice" function to tell Google what they are looking for, and Google will read the answer back. However, we really start to see where the future of search is headed with the additional conversational abilities that have recently been made possible. Building on the initial voice search, users can continue having a "conversation" with Google, which gathers additional information on the original topic or question and is able to reference pronouns and other bits of information based on the original voice query.
It will be interesting to see how conversational search affects the landscape of search on desktop devices. Will searchers begin adopting this type of conversational search technique over traditional typed-out keyword searches? For search engine marketers, does this mean we will have even less visibility into keyword search data? If so, Google might have even more SEM professionals upset at the lack of search query transparency.
The explosion of mobile search and web browsing on non-desktop devices has been a hot topic among search engine professionals for quite some time. Part of that discussion has revolved around Google Now, a mobile personal assistance application introduced about a year ago. Since then, Google has been continually updating and improving the Siri-like app with additional information "cards," better interpretation of real-time data, and a more intuitive user interface. Basically, by recognizing repeated user actions on a mobile device, Google Now displays the most relevant information in the form of "cards," which fall into various categories like News, Places, Traffic, Travel, and Weather.
The Google Now app has been available on mobile devices for awhile, but its expansion to Chrome had been unconfirmed until very recently. Several search marketing news outlets are reporting that Chrome is now featuring a notification that asks users, "Enable Google Now Cards – Would you like to be shown Google Now cards?" The Google Now feature is still in the early stages of desktop functionality, so it will be interesting to see how users on desktop devices interact with an application that was originally designed and optimized for use on mobile devices.
The latest updates and service offerings from Google suggest that search is moving in a more predicative and anticipatory direction. This is apparent with the advancements to Google Now, which adjusts the information cards presented to individual users based on things like previous activity, current location, Google Calendar events, and other Google account activity. Google has also taken steps to improve their retargeting offerings with the rollout of dynamic retargeting for AdWords. As a means of competing with other retargeting platforms, Google has initiated dynamic retargeting capabilities that will pull relevant data from advertiser's Google Merchant feeds based on past visitor actions. According to Ginny Marvin's recent article on searchengineland.com, "Google's product recommendation engine determines which products and messages are shown based on an algorithmic prediction for what is likely to perform best based on visitors' past actions on your site, including the products they viewed and their purchase history, as well as related products and top performing products." Again, we are seeing the theme of predictive search capabilities being leveraged by Google to provide a more personalized online experience.
While it certainly appears that the future of search—at least as far as Google is concerned—is becoming more predictive and based largely on a user's previous online behavior, it remains to be seen whether or not users will find this type of search experience more useful, or a little bit too Big Brother.
There are no comments yet.

My (not so) epic story.
This is where I am supposed to wow you with some grand story that will make you want either be me or hunt me down and marry me.
I hate to disappoint, but I'm pretty sure the only one who would classify my story as epic is my Mom.
I haven't had a near death experience where I saw the light. I have all of my limbs, a pretty decent amount of hair on my head, a loving family (that sometimes drives me bonkers), a supportive boyfriend (who's foxy AF imho), and nails that always seem to have a little dirt under them. I often eat fruit without washing it. My vehicle is 20 years old and slowly falling apart (I love it to pieces. Literally). And despite my best efforts I can never get my make-up to look anywhere close to what I see online.
By all counts, on paper, I'm pretty average.
Sexy right?
No. It's not sexy. It's not thrilling. It's real.
What I'm trying to get across here, is that you don't have to have some epic origin story and perfectly quaffed hair to achieve greatness in your life. You just have to have a desire, a belief, and the balls to rebel against a system, an environment, and the people who want you to stay in the realm of safe (and dull as all hell) mediocrity.
So what is my story?
All you really need to know is that I'm a girl who who believes that there's more to life than the 9 - 5 grind. Who wants to see people being their badass-self and smiling their cute little arses off. And most importantly not apologizing for it. I want people to remember who they were when they were kids and anything was possible. Before we were told to stop dreaming such crazy dreams we were all basically little half-pint rebels, running around with more belief in our dirty-little-pinky finger than most adults have in their entire body.
I want you to connect to that part of yourself again.
As for the rest of my story, you can slowly learn about it as you read, listen, and get to know me more. Because let's get real real, folks don't usually read these "about" pages in their entirety. But if you've come this far and you're a little curious here are some bullet points. Because who doesn't love a good bullet point list? I know I do.
The List
- I love bullet point lists.
- I'm the 2nd child in a family of 4 kids.
- I love driving my Jeep.
- I love health food but also love chips and chocolate.
- I am a highly intuitive/sensitive person.
- I would love nothing more than to dance all day.
- I can bake like a motherf*cker.
- I secretly wish I was a cool surfer chick. Alas I am afraid of getting water up my nose. It hurts so bad.
- My hair is red and wirey AF. My boyfriend calls it rebar hair.
- I love Kombucha way too much.
- I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
- I studied Fashion Marketing.
- I'm a shit speler.
- I love to walk. I could walk for hours and hours.
- I love my family so much it often brings me to tears. I'm pretty sure they think I'm super weird.
- I used to think I was from another planet. The verdict is still out on this.
- I used to want to be white female rapper. Verdict also still out on this.
In the words of Miranda Presley. That's all.
Love you long time,

This page lists the song chart entries of Peggy Lee. The songs are listed with the most widely successful first.
Many of the hits credited to Benny Goodman were actually sung by Peggy Lee, and most of Peggy Lee's hits were with Benny Goodman.
Before 1958 the informal Billboard charts often listed songs without crediting artists (because the focus was sheet music sales rather than records) or they list band leaders without vocalists or vocalists without band leaders. In order to be consistent some of the songs have been assigned to band leaders or artists (based on entries in the Billboard and other charts). There is no way to be both consistent and to reflect the artists credited on the record labels, were a choice has had to be made we have attempted to opt for consistency.
There are also a number of hits listed here that were originally assigned to Dave Barbour & Orchestra (Dave Barbour was Peggy Lee's husband at the time).
In addition to the above listed songs Peggy Lee also contributed to the following entries:

Few leaders have dominated their nations' politics as the late Dr. Eric Williams did in Trinidad and Tobago for more than 25 years. Although he ruled somewhat autocratically - and secretively in recent years - Dr. Williams left a legacy of democratic government for the twin-island nation in the southeastern Caribbean.
But Williams did little to encourage potential new leaders, even though almost 65 percent of adult Trinidadians are under age 30 and have never known another leader. His passing last March left a political vacumn.
Today the nation takes its first major step in the post-Williams era, voting for a new leader. Voters will choose a Parliament, but the focus is on who becomes prime minister and which direction the nation takes.
The two main candidates for prime minister are George Chambers, a Williams associate who has been interim prime minister, and Karl Hudson-Phillips, former attorney general who broke with Williams in 1970.
Both are moderates. Mr. Chambers is the candidate of Williams's People's National Movement. As the incumbent, he enjoys support of governmental machinery. But Mr. Hudson-Phillips of the Organization for National Reconstruction has strong support among the growing middle class.
If it were just between the two parties, Mr. Chambers might well win. But other parties to the left of the top two may affect the vote.
These include the Tapia House Movement, headed by Lloyd Best, a black who is highly regarded in the Caribbean; the United Labour Front, led by Basdeo Panday, strong in Trinidad's East Indian society; and the Democratic Action Congress, led by A. N. R. Robinson, strong on Tobago. Knowing they are not strong enough individually to topple the People's National Movement, they lean toward Mr. Hudson-Phillips.

(Reuters) - Australian accounting software provider Reckon Ltd (RKN.AX) said on Thursday it would sell its accounting practice management software business to MYOB Group (MYO.AX) for A$180 million ($136.57 million) in an all-cash deal to pay off debt.
Reckon said in a statement it intended to use the proceeds from the deal to repay "the majority of its debt" and pay a special dividend to shareholders.
Myob in a seperate statement said it would acquire all clients, intellectual property, systems and processes, and take in all employees of the Reckon accounting practice software business, including sales, consulting and support teams.
Reckon which has about A$52.6 million in debt as at 2016 intends to use the proceeds from the deal to repay "the majority of its debt" and pay a special dividend to shareholders.
MYOB's acquisition of Reckon is the company's second buy this year after it bought online payment service provider Paycorp for A$48 million in February .
MYOB said it would fund the deal by debt and that it expected the purchase to be earnings per share accretive on an underlying basis immediately.

"You want to dig around in dirt for the rest of your life?" my mother says in her usual sarcastic tone mocking my future career. She knows I will succeed in life; she just wants to make sure I love what I'm doing as well and she likes to joke around that Archeology won't be the right choice even though she believes that I'll be fine if I chose it.
In order to become an archeologist I believe I need to persevere as much as possible. I can not back down just because it turns out to be way more then I expected.
It's like in ninth grade when I found a problem in this goal of mine. I found out that archeology involves a lot of science. I was completely taken aback. Let's just say science has never been one of my stronger points. I had lost all hope and thought I had to start looking for a new career.
Finally this year I realized that I would still go to college to become an archeologist. If it didn't work out in the end I could just chose another career. My parents have always taught me to do something I love and I know that this will be it. If I find myself struggling with it in the future I will change careers. Both my parents have more than once and they don't regret it for the world.
Some people may ask why I am willing to take the chance of studying archeology if I'm not even certain it will last.
My answer is simply that I have always been interested in history and; teaching it, or talking about it in a museum isn't enough. That has always seemed boring to me mostly because of the image history gets.
I'm not that interested in the stuff like the different political parties that countries have come to have and dates of events, but how people lived and what it was like. My main interest is in the Western Civilizations which have so much history.
It was during a trip to a college with my brother that I realized there was actually something fun that involved history. The college's history teacher handed out some very old coins from Rome. It intrigued me so much that people found these in the ground. As soon as I got home I put the coins into a ring cleaner and went searching online about archeology. Ever since then I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life.
I know that what ever I chose to do in life whether it be digging for artifacts or becoming a historian I want to be happy doing it even if the salary isn't the highest possible. I believe that if I set my mind to it one day I will be in Europe at an archeological dig site finding things beyond my wildest dreams. It will be amazing and I can't wait for that day. I know I'll have to work hard, but I think when it comes down to it I'll be ready.

The Wild had such a good first day on the ice, coach Mike Yeo joked that he planned to call NHL headquarters on Avenue of the Americas and request two points in the standings.
Good bet Gary Bettman and Bill Daly don't return that call, but as always on the first day of any NHL camp, the vibe was positive around the Wild on Thursday.
Sure, it was weird being at Ridder Arena (thanks to the Blake Shelton concert). Players, like Zach Parise and Niklas Backstrom, said they got flashbacks from a year earlier when Wild players and other Minnesota-based NHLers had to skate daily at Ridder during the lockout.
Of course, guys like Keith Ballard and Erik Haula loved it. The U is their home. Former Badgers Ryan Suter, Dany Heatley and Jake Dowell weren't as thrillied. Suter JOKED that it was a great day, well, other than the facility.
Good late afternoon from the Ridder press box, where I got to watch Bethany Brausen run the captain's practice for the national champion Gophers' women. First time I've ever gotten to watch a captain's practice after hearing about them for years and she does a fabulous job. She sure organizes drills impressively like she's a coach herself.
Back to the Wild, but as Yeo said today, "waking up this morning was not difficult." Finally, training camp, and a real training camp, not a condensed six- or seven-day one like last January where NHL coaches and players could barely catch their breath before the 48-game in 99-day sprint began.
Training camp will return to the X Friday. Group B – the second group today – will practice first, and that will be followed by a scrimmage (so be sure to follow me on Twitter (@russostrib) for updates), then a Group A practice.
Remember, on Saturday, all fans can flock to the X and watch a 9:30 and 11:15 practice for free. Single-game tickets also go on sale that morning at 9 a.m. at the X and noon elsewhere. On Sunday, the Wild will scrimmage at 11 a.m., and again, that is free for all of you to come down and witness in person.
Some lines and D pairs today, and I'm meshing the groups here:
Actually Ballard was with everybody, but I'll be honest, the second group D pairs I didn't get a good grasp of because I was writing.
In Friday's newspaper, I wrote a feature on an always very talkative Dany Heatley. I had lunch with him Wednesday, and as I've indicated, he is visibly leaner this season, looks quicker and spent a lot of the summer training to not only rehab his shoulder, but to come in tip-top shape and work on his skating with a power-skating instructor.
He is motivated to prove to everybody he can still be Dany Heatley, the threatening goal scorer, as he enters the final year of his contract. Yeo said today that he looks like he's "gained a step," at least.
Again, that's all in Friday's Star Tribune, and I've got a number of profiles planned this month, so please return daily to the site and/or purchase the paper.
Yeo also praised Mikael Granlund today. Granlund looked to be weak on his skates at times last summer and Yeo felt he looked a step quicker and much stronger on his skates. Yeo also praised defenseman Marco Scandella, who should get top-4 minutes this year. I don't like making predictions early in camp because there's just so many moving parts as to who can make the team, especially this year.
For instance, there really is no way of telling yet how many of Charlie Coyle, Granlund, Jason Zucker and Nino Niederreiter can make the team. It really all depends on their camps. There's really no way of telling right now how good a chance Erik Haula and Justin Fontaine have of making the team right now because it all depends how Coyle, Granlund, Zucker and Niederreiter do as well as how they perform.
In addition, for a guy like Fontaine to make the team out of camp, it may have to be on the fourth line, and that could depend largely on injury. As of now, Mike Rupp is trying to overcome his knee injury and will be held out of camp initially.
But I am willing to guarantee Scandella's on this team. He requires waivers for the first time in his career, and no chance the Wild risks waivers on the young defenseman
On Scandella, Yeo said today, "We saw last year when we put him in that situation, we were a better team. So some of it has to come from us putting him in that situation, showing that faith in him, and certainly the rest has to come from him. I thought he was another guy who had a great day. He looked real strong, skating was real strong, stick was great. He was kind of flawless in the execution of habits part that we were looking. I thought he looked really good."
Yeo talked about a number of players specifically. One was Kyle Brodziak. I'll probably write about him for Saturday's paper. The Wild's looking for a bounceback year from its third-line center and Yeo talked with him on the ice today.
Yeo wants to alleviate pressure from many of the players who didn't play well last year, saying it was such a weird, unique year. Brodziak is one of them, and again, you'll hear from Brodziak on Saturday. As always, Brodziak was a great interview on the subject – honest, accountable and is motivated to have a good year.
All month, the ongoing theme will be the tweaked system as the Wild looks to carry the puck into the offensive zone more often and potentially activate the weakside D more often for support.
Yeo made that clear again today when he stopped practice 10 minutes in to preach this to the first group. He says he wants to gear the system more to his personnel.
This will be a work in progress as players try to get out of habits. With this will come mistakes, too, because this is the NHL. Teams jam up the neutral zone. Defensemen step up at the blue line. That's why often players have no other choice but to dump that puck. You have to take what your opponent gives you. You can't force plays with bad decisions.
So a lot of camp will be about how to generate that neutral-zone speed, and that starts with good retrievals, proper breakouts and exits from the D-zone. Yeo wants much better wall play this season, saying too often players are leaving the D-zone without the puck.
"Offensively and defensively we want the right details, we want the right habits and like I said we're not just going to do something for the sake of doing it," Yeo said. "If we're going to do it, we're going to do it right. So that part of our game is one that we have to improve on -- there's some tweaks that we're making in that area off the rush, in particular in our entries into the offensive zone, so it has to be a focal point for us. We've talked a lot about this already, but we want to be a better team off the rush, we want to create more off the rush. And we still want to be a good defensive team. We want to be a team that makes the playoffs. The one thing that's important to understand is you can't just create off the rush every single time. That's a sure fire way to not make the playoffs if you start turning pucks over night in and night out, so we want to be a good team in the offensive zone, we want to be a much better team off the rush, and that's putting yourself in a better position to make something happen and more importantly reading those situations, reading your support and making the play."
Like I said, I'll be writing about this probably ad nauseum all month.
Yeo said the results of Wednesday's fitness testing was good for each player.
"The one thing on top of that, we'll be monitoring that, we'll be pushing the guys hard," Yeo said. "It's good to see where everybody came in at, but there's another level we want to get to before we drop the puck."
Yeo and his staff met with each group before each practice.
"We met with each group separately as opposed to the entire group, and that's by design," he said. "We plan to have sort of a little bit more philosophical, bigger picture meeting a little bit later on in camp (reading between the lines, when the Wild gets down to its team before Duluth Sept. 29-30).
"This one did touch on some of the things, some of the goals that we have, but the main one for me is that big, shiny goal that we all want, that the 29 other teams are talking about right now, there's a way of getting there. What's really important for us to understand is if you want that to happen, you have to have a great season. If you want to have a great season, you have to have a great start. And if we want to have a great start, then it's pretty simple, we better have a great training camp. That was our message."
Here's some quotes by some of the heavy hitters:
Parise: "We have to keep progressing and keep moving forward and building on what we did last year. We can't keep using the excuse 'we're young, we're young, we're young.' We have to start developing and making progress and winning now."
Koivu on the system and if it'll be hard to break habits: "I don't think so. Obviously we have six or seven preseason games, so I'm sure a lot of the guys will play three to five games, and then we scrimmage, and three weeks skating and that's where you learn stuff. That's when it starts to come out automatically, so I don't see that as a problem. To be honest, obviously you have to be responsible with the puck, but I think a lot of players like that, to get the puck and try to get it at full speed."
Pominville on playing with Parise and Koivu: "It would be nice to try to find a little chemistry and get together for some practices and even some scrimmages or some games. I mean we all know throughout the course of the season a lot of things can happen and a lot of things can change. If they want you to play with certain guys, it's nice to be able to find that chemistry and get to know them and know what they do in certain situations and even talking. I think communication is huge and when you know you're going to be on the ice with certain guys, you can talk about what they want you to do and what you want them to do when you have the puck."
Parise on playing with Pominville: "I like playing with Pommer a lot. He's a really good playmaker and scorer, too. He can finish. So if that happens to be the line I think we'll do really well together. We played a little bit last year and if I remember right we had games where I feel like we had a lot of puck control in the offensive zone. But that'll be up to the coach, what he decides. If we do play together, I think we'll play well together."
Backstrom on an actual training camp this year: "For sure it's fun, for sure it feels better to have the 21 days before the season starts. Last year, we skated at this rink, but it was a long couple months. You never knew if you were going to play or not. And then the season started, I think it was seven days and we had the first game, so we didn't really have time to work on anything, Just get yourself into the best shape as possible and start to play. Now we have some time to work on things. It's the same thing for every team, but I think it's good for us to get the system going and get to know each other and be ready when the season opens."

While conducting research for The Correct Views, the author of this story was asked once if something good could be said regarding President Obama. The answer given was that the Ebola Czar that Obama had appointed was predicted to do a terrible job and, in reality, he did a rather remarkable job of halting the progress of the deadly threat. It is that simple: no one, not even Obama, is wrong all of the time.
AOL News reports that Hillary Clinton did not show the same cordialness and class when she was asked a similar question. As a matter of fact, WABC Radio confirms an exchange which saw host Rita Cosby ask the would-be president if Donald Trump "has done anything well as president." Clinton's reply was as classless as one would expect from a former First Lady who would bark if she was looked in the eyes.
"No, the answer is absolutely no and I don't say that with any joy," said Clinton. She goes on to address the sexual assault accusations that so many are facing, even lumping President Trump in. She compares Democrat Al Franken with Republicans Roy Moore and Donald Trump, her hypocrisy held up for all the world to see;
"is the kind of accountability I'm talking about. I don't hear that from Roy Moore or Donald Trump… Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore and Donald Trump who have done neither."
After all, saying you are sorry makes all the difference. Doesn't it?
Keep in mind, when considering the president, she could have said, "he has declined a paycheck as our leader" and escaped from the question unscathed and without attacking nor endorsing Mr. Trump. There are a million easy answers she could have chosen, yet she took the low road.
Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can't stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2017
The losing candidate also said that [Trump] "has behaved in a way that is not in keeping with our Constitution. He has failed to enforce the law. He has used the office to enrich himself and his family and his business."
That is most interesting since it is Democrats like Clinton who refuse to enforce the border laws, and yet Trump gets the accusation. Likewise, Trump has not grown his business from the White House in any way. He handed the "Trump empire" over to his family, as he pledged to do while on the campaign trail.
"Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can't stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!" replied Mr. Trump on Twitter. This may the soundest advice that the former Secretary of State has heard in a year and they are words that she should heed.
Clinton just can not accept the simple truth: Americans rejected her platform, her stance, her leadership offer, and most of what her party stood for in favor of the prudent skills of Donald Trump. Instead of just accepting that and taking a Xanax, she is out still trying to imply that the election was rigged!
"There are lots of questions about its legitimacy…That's why I've long advocated for an independent commission to get to the bottom of what happened," the "crooked" one said.
She refers to the fake dossier that she paid for and which has no basis in reality regarding Russia and also added, "This is the first time we've ever been attacked by a foreign adversary and then they suffered no real consequences."
Russia did attempt to alter our elections, but not in favor of Mr. Trump, as the Facebook ads observed by the Conservative Daily Post confirm. Likewise, just because Putin was acting like the x-KGB agent that he is, how is the fault of the current Commander in Chief?
The clear answer is that there is no way for Trump to be blamed and every reason for Mrs. Clinton to claim otherwise, even though the rest of the nation knows better.
How pathetic.

Age: 68
William Forsythe
Age: 68
William Forsythe (born December 30, 1949 in New York City) is an American dancer and choreographer resident in Frankfurt am Main in Hessen. He is known internationally for his work with the Ballet Frankfurt (1984-2004) and The Forsythe Company (2005-2015). Recognized for the integration of ballet and visual arts, which displayed both abstraction and forceful theatricality, his vision of choreography as an organizational practice has inspired him to produce numerous installations, films, and web-based knowledge creation, incorporating the spoken word {and} experimental music.
Life and career
William Forsythe began studying at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York in 1969 and began his professional career as an apprentice with the Joffrey Ballet in 1971rom 1971 to 1973 danced with Joffrey Ballet II, often appearing in the parent company's productions. After this, he followed his then wife, Eileen Brady, joining the Stuttgart Ballet in 1973. Encouraged by the director, Marcia Haydée, Forsythe began choreographing works for the company and in 1976 he choreographed his first piece, Urlicht. He became the Stuttgart's resident choreographer in 1978 and that same year created his first piece for the company, Dream of Galilei. During the next seven years he created original works for the Stuttgart Ensemble, and for ballet companies in Munich, The Hague, London, Basel, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Paris, New York, and San Francisco. In 1984 he was appointed director of the government-sponsored Ballett Frankfurt. In 2002, however, the Frankfurt government began to withdraw its support in order to cut costs and to favour a more conventional dance company. The public protested, but Forsythe decided to move on, and in 2004 the Frankfurt Ballet gave its last performance. After the closure of Ballet Frankfurt in 2004, he founded the Forsythe Company (2005) with the support of the states of Saxony and Hesse, the cities of Dresden and Frankfurt am Main, and private sponsors.
The Forsythe Company, based in Dresden and Frankfurt am Main, was about half the size of the Frankfurt Ballet, but nearly all of its dancers were from that company. Forsythe continued to present his vision to a wide audience. With bases in Frankfurt and Dresden and supported by both state and private funding, the Forsythe Company made its debut in 2005 with the premiere of Forsythe's Three Atmospheric Studies. A major retrospective of Forsythe's work was presented at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich in 2006, and in subsequent years, his company toured across Europe, appearing in Paris, Zürich, and London. In 2009 London held a monthlong "Focus on Forsythe" celebration that included events across the city, a traveling multimedia installation, and the performance of Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time, an elaborate installation piece at the Tate Modern, in which dancers weaved through hundreds of suspended pendulums.
Throughout his career, Forsythe has experimented with a freer approach to choreography in which the dancers are allowed to make choices about order and timing comparable to those made by musicians playing a cadenza. As a training tool for dancers, he developed a CD-ROM entitled Improvisation Technologies (1995), which in turn resulted in the piece Self Meant to Govern, the first part of the evening-length work, Eidos: Telos (1995) which used monitors to provide dancers with verbal cues that spurred movement responses.
Forsythe has produced and collaborated on numerous installation works, including White Bouncy Castle (1997, in collaboration with Dana Caspersen and Joel Ryan), City of Abstracts (2000), Scattered Crowd (2002), airdrawing|whenever on on on nohow on (2004, collaborating with Peter Welz), and You made me a monster (2005). Installation works by Forsythe have been shown at the Louvre Museum, Venice Biennale, the Renaissance Society in Chicago, and other locations. Forsythe has been commissioned to produce architectural and performance installations by architect-artist Daniel Libeskind, ARTANGEL (London), Creative Time (New York), and the City of Paris.
Awards received by Forsythe and his ensembles include the New York Dance and Performance "Bessie" Award (1988, 1998, 2004, 2007) and London's Laurence Olivier Award (1992, 1999, 2009). Forsythe has been conveyed the title of Commandeur des Arts et Lettres (1999) by the government of France and has received the Hessische Kulturpreis/Hessian Culture Award (1995), the German Distinguished Service Cross (1997), the Wexner Prize (2002), the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale (2010), Samuel H Scripps / American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement (2012) and the Grand Prix de la SACD (2016).
In 2014, Forsythe announced he would join the University of Southern California's newly created Glorya Kaufman School of Dance as a professor in fall 2015, when its first Bachelor of Fine Arts dance majors would begin attending; he spends six to eight weeks a year at the university in Los Angeles. Moreover, in 2015 The Forsythe Company was taken over by Jacopo Godani, an Italian dancer and choreographer, under a new name The Dresden Frankfurt Ballet Company.
Forsythe believes that classical ballet is a language with rules to follow. However, even though he is aware of these rules he is much more interested in bending and eventually breaking these guidelines. His style is strictly based on classical ballet, using traditional positions, but developing them to the extreme. Great admirer of Balanchine, Forsythe took Mr.B's work as a starting point, and pushed it forward, experimenting with structure, score and movements. In fact, very fast footwork, and shaped hands (often with broken wrists) are at the base of his vocabulary. Moreover, he is extremely fond to the concept of épaulement, considered "the key of ballet," since it's based on the mechanism of torsion of the upper body related to the position of feet and legs. Many of his pieces are danced on pointe, but he has used all kind of footwear (work-boots, socks, slippers…), in order to explore different choreographic results. The extreme positions involved in his ballets require a great deal of flexibility, in fact most of his dancers possess that skill. As a matter of fact, in many of his pas de deux the woman is seen researching daring positions with one leg at 180 degrees or beyond, experimenting with a revolutionary approach to duets as well. In fact, the male dancer is not simply holding the ballerina on her balance, but both dancers are counterbalancing each other so that the axis is shared between the two performers.
On the structure point of view, he likes to play with the typical expectations of the audience when watching a performance. In the second act of Artifact (1984), for example, he raises and lowers the curtains in the middle of the dance, in order to change drastically the environment on stage, and willingly lights the dancers "improperly."
Most of his pieces use electronic scores composed by Thom Willems. Forsythe and Willems both believe that music and dance are independent from each other, and even though they coincide in dynamics and length, none of the two is there to illustrate the other. Their main concern is the inner structure of their works, so to leave the emotional interpretation to the audience or the listener.

Everyone discusses the MPG of cars and for good enough reason. If you're interested in reducing our dependence on foreign oil then you want to reduce the number of gallons you use. However the MPG metric breaks down when you try to compare normal gasoline cars with electric vehicles (like the forthcoming Chevy Volt). A much more relevant metric is Miles per Dollar rather than Miles per Gallon.
So lets work out the Miles per Dollar for a standard car and also for the Chevy Volt. First we have to make some assumptions about gasoline cars. Lets say gas costs $1.95 a gallon. Lets also assume that your average sedan gets about 27 miles per gallon.
Now we have to make some assumptions about the cost of electricity and figure out how much the Volt uses. According to wikipedia, the Volt uses only electricity for its first 40 miles. To run those first 40 miles, it uses up 8kWH of electricity. Depending on where you live, electricity in the US costs as little as 6 cents/kWH in places like Washington and Idaho and up to 17 cents/kWH in New York and California. After the first 40 miles, the Volt operates like a normal car running at 50MPG.
I'll omit the math, but we get the following result:
Normal Sedan MP$: 13.8 miles per dollar
Chevy Volt first 40 miles MP$ (cheap electricty): 83 miles per dollar
Chevy Volt first 40 miles MP$ (expensive electricty): 29 miles per dollar
Chevy Volt after 40 miles MP$: 26 miles per dollar
So depending on where you live and how much you drive, the Volt will be anywhere from 100% to 500% cheaper to run compared to an average Sedan.
That sounds a whole lot cheaper, right! Wrong! To see why, we have to take the calculation a step further.
Suppose you drive 50 miles round trip to work every day and you live in a state with average gas prices, like Texas. In your sedan the daily commute should cost you about $3.61. But in a Volt it will only cost $1.19. Thats a savings of $2.42 every day. Now say you're a workaholic and you make trips like this 7 days a week for 52 weeks a year. Thats a yearly mileage of 18,200 miles, which is pretty high for most people. Driving a Volt you'll get a savings of $881.28 per year! But lets assume that GM engineers are even better than we expect and instead of saving $881.28 a year, we actually save $1000 a year.
Still with me? Good.
Now here comes the big question: much more do you think the Volt costs compared to a similar gasoline car? Lets compare it to a Chevy Malibu which gets about 27MPG and costs about $22,000. The final sticker price on the Volt is not set yet, but everyone says GM wants to get it down to around $32,000 (thats including all of the tax breaks). But lets give GM some credit (even though they're already getting enough from our government!) and assume that in a couple of years they will be able to bring it down further to $28,000.
So a Volt will certainly cost at least $6,000 more than a Malibu. Suppose that instead of putting that six grand into your car, you have the option of putting it into savings earning 5% interest. Therefore, in order for the Chevy Volt to win out over the Malibu, you will have to drive the Volt for ten years!
Thats right. If you want to make back your initial investment in a Volt, you have to drive the car for ten years!
Unfortunatly, GM says that the Volt battery is only expected to last ten years.
There are plenty of reasons to buy a Volt, but saving money isn't one of them.

Operating Cash Flows
"Positive cash flow continues to be a high priority for us," said Lewis. "We have moved our reliance off of issuing stock options for payment of services and compensation, and have moved our focus to reducing costs, and as a result, operating cash flows in the third quarter of 2012 increased $406,400."
Management's Plan
PAID, Inc. will continue to streamline its operations with a focus on core revenue generating activities. PAID, Inc. is a leader in custom developed VIP experience programs.

After coming from a high pressure - pre professional cello teacher, Johnny Mok is a breath of fresh air! I am learning at a faster rate and accomplishing more due to his relaxed and happy teaching style. So glad I found you Jonny!
Johnny has been a great instructor. I am enjoying learning the cello under his tutelage.
Excellent class!
Currently taking cello lessons with Johnny and his teaching style is great, learning a lot with him + becoming inspired/getting excited about progress. He's able to pick apart stuff at a very detailed level and help me work through it. Aside from all the technique aspects of cello playing he's good at explaining via online lesson with the details and what not, his motivational talks are helpful if you're having a session where for whatever reason you can't focus and you're kind of flying off the rails.....he'll also remind you that this is music and to do stuff like visualize things like colors or imagine things or recall memories, think of emotions, etc while you are playing.+ Read More
Johnny has been a fantastic teacher for my 12-year old beginning cello player. He managed to keep even the introductory lessons (parts of the instrument, posture, etc.) engaging and now that she is actually making music it is even better. Not only is Johnny incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but he also has a knack for explaining concepts to beginners. My daughter truly looks forward to her weekly lessons!+ Read More
My son is a beginner for cello and eager to get a hang of this instrument. Johnny was very patient and taught him a lot of techniques that he's missing from his school group lessons.
Johnny is an excellent, well-rounded teacher. The lesson I took with him was packed full of superb teaching points; such as bowing exercises to help with bowing complexities, helpful fingerings for awkward passages within a composition of music, and terrific rhythmical suggestions to help with complex rhythms in a passage of music. I highly recommend him for any cellist; whether they're first starting out or they are just looking for someone who needs an ear for an audition and needs some advice!+ Read More

I don't see what your problem is. If we were suggesting some totally arbitrary and time consuming task, then I could understand your concerns. However, you should be checking each file as a part of your packaging, all that is being requested is that you document this for the FTP masters and our users. The focus here should be on producing quality software, with a rigorous and open process, so that people can be confident that what we're shipping is totally free software. Cutting corners to save a bit of time, simply because a package is large, does not seem to fit well with this goal. Hence my suggestion that if a package you are maintaining seems like too much work, perhaps it would make sense to collaboratively maintain it. Best, -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater
