Is Justin Bieber Being Investigated on Gun Charges?!
We know Justin Bieber is trying to get edgier, but wait -- gun charges?!
Yup. Biebs is in big trouble in his native Canada for accidentally shooting a woman ... with a Nerf dart.
TMZ reports that Bieber and his three-year-old brother and four-year-old sister were playing with Nerf guns backstage at an Ottawa concert when a female employee of the venue became collateral damage in their friendly fire war. The incident went down in November, and the employee is royally P.O.ed.
The employee, who claimed to be a security guard at the venue, was extremely angry at being hit by a stray Nerf dart. The woman actually filed a police report, which sources say the Canadian authorities are taking really seriously. Dude, really? Over a Nerf dart?
This is probably the least of Bieber's problems right now. The 'Beauty and a Beat' singer is still dealing with his split from longtime love Selena Gomez and dealing with the fallout over photos featuring him and a blunt. Between this and the alleged water bottle incident, it's probably due time to give the guy a break.

After missing the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, the Bears showed Lovie Smith the door and decided to start a new era with a new head coach, Marc Trestman. Now it's time to see how the team Trestman inherited fits with the system he plans to implement.
The good news for the Bears is that there's abundant talent on both sides of the ball, and on special teams. There are a whole lot of Pro Bowl-caliber players on this roster.
The bad news is that the talent was assembled for a different coaching staff, and the Bears may have some growing pains under Trestman.
Our six-person PFT panel voted the Bears in the bottom half of the league, at No. 18. We explore the reasons below.
Say this for Lovie Smith: The guy knew how to build a good defense. Chicago's defense was excellent last season, and although Smith and Brian Urlacher are gone, most of the personnel remains.
Cornerback Charles Tillman was one of the best defensive players in the NFL in 2012. He routinely took on the opposing team's best wide receiver, and almost always got the better end of the matchup. It's telling that in Calvin Johnson's record-setting season with the Lions, two of his worst games came against the Bears, when Tillman led the way in holding Johnson to 34 and 72 yards. (Johnson averaged 133 yards a game in the other 14 games of the season.) With Tillman at cornerback, the Bears are in good shape against any wide receiver who comes their way.
The Bears' defensive front seven is also strong. Julius Peppers is 33, but he doesn't appear to be slowing down and is still one of the league's top pass rushers. Chicago should be able to count on Peppers for double-digit sacks. Like Peppers, Lance Briggs will turn 33 this season but remains in fine form. Briggs started all 16 games and had another strong season in 2012.
Henry Melton has emerged as one of the league's best defensive tackles, with six sacks last year and seven the year before. A former college running back who tips the scales at 300 pounds, Melton has a rare burst for a guy who's big enough to play defensive tackle in the NFL, and at age 26 he's in the prime of his career.
The Bears have a very good pair of offensive skill position players in wide receiver Brandon Marshall and running back Matt Forte, both of whom are among the best in the league at what they do. Marshall is a tough and physical receiver who has long been Jay Cutler's favorite target, and Forte is versatile enough to be both the Bears' No. 1 running back and their No. 2 receiver.
After Marshall, the Bears don't have any proven commodities at wide receiver. They'd love to see last year's second-round pick, Alshon Jeffery, become a solid No. 2 receiver. They'd also love to see Earl Bennett, who plays very well at times but also disappears at times, become a more consistent part of the passing game. But until someone steps up, No. 2 receiver has to be considered one of the Bears' weaknesses.
Tight end has been a weakness for the Bears the last couple of years, when Kellen Davis averaged barely more than one catch a game. The arrival of Martellus Bennett should make Chicago better there, but Bennett is a long way from elite.
The Bears' offensive line has long been a weakness, and the No. 1 priority of the offseason was shoring that up. That's why guard Kyle Long was Chicago's first-round draft pick, and why left tackle Jermon Bushrod was Chicago's first priority in free agency. The biggest issue with the offensive line being a weakness has been that it has exposed Jay Cutler to injuries, and backup quarterback has been a major weakness for the Bears. That remains the case this year: If Cutler goes down, Josh McCown will step in, and that's a significant drop-off.
By far the biggest change is the arrival of head coach Marc Trestman, who's been coaching the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League for the last five years. Trestman has plenty of experience on NFL coaching staffs, but he hasn't been with an NFL team since he was on the Dolphins' staff in 2004. It's not often that NFL teams reach into the CFL ranks for their head coaches, and it will be fascinating to see whether Trestman — who has a reputation as an innovative offensive mind — comes in with fresh ideas that take NFL defenses off guard.
The changes to the coaching staff are also significant, particularly on defense, where Lovie Smith and his Tampa 2 disciples are giving way to Trestman's new defensive coordinator, Mel Tucker. But Tucker and Trestman have both said that they plan to run very similar schemes to what the Bears have been running during Smith's time with the team.
The retirement of longtime middle linebacker Brian Urlacher is a major change in the appearance of the defense, but it's not a change that will have a huge effect on the field. Urlacher was once among the NFL's best defensive players, but he was noticeably slower last season and didn't have a lot left. The unfortunate thing about Urlacher's departure is the way it happened: The Bears decided early in the offseason that they didn't want him back, while Urlacher didn't determine until later in the offseason that he was ready to walk away from the game. Urlacher was a great player who deserved the opportunity to say goodbye to the Bears on his own terms, and it was disappointing that it didn't quite work out that way, as it did for Ray Lewis in Baltimore.
Camp Battles.
Replacing Urlacher at middle linebacker will fall to either D.J. Williams, the former Bronco signed in free agency, or rookie Jon Bostic, the second-round draft pick from Florida. Neither one of them is going to step right in and be the kind of player Urlacher was at his best, of course, but it's easy to picture either player being an upgrade over the 2012 version of Urlacher.
As a first-round draft pick, Kyle Long is penciled in as a starting guard, but he'll have to compete to earn the job. Derek Dennis, Edwin Williams and James Brown will all get an opportunity to beat out Long. Matt Slauson, who started all 16 games at guard each of the last three years for the Jets, is expected to be the other starting guard.
How well does Jay Cutler fit in Marc Trestman's offense? And can Chicago's offensive line keep Cutler healthy for 16 games? Those are the biggest questions facing the Bears this season.
Defensively, the Bears should look much like they looked last year, and that's a very good sign. And the special teams, with punter Adam Podlesh, kicker Robbie Gould and returner Devin Hester, should be solid. There's a lot of reason for optimism there.
But last year the strong defense and special teams weren't enough to get the Bears into the playoffs thanks to a disappointing offense, and unless Trestman can make significant progress offensively, the Bears will probably fall just a bit short of the playoffs again this year.

An on-line publication of the Medical Protection Society at www.medicalprotection.org
Although this may not be seen as popular reading, these three cases from the MPS periodic publication Casebook highlight areas in our clinical practice where we may easily fall short of what can be considered acceptable practice.
'An unfortunate prescription' highlights the use of NSAIDs for chronic knee pain with other medication that may be associated with potentially adverse effects.
In the case reported, an obese female with chronic knee pain is treated by her practitioner, Dr A, with diclofenac. She then re-consults Dr A with dyspepsia which he attributes to the use of the NSAID and discontinues its use. A few years later she is seen and treated by Dr B for depression for which he prescribes Prozac, a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Shortly thereafter she is again seen by Dr B for back pain for which she was given a NSAID in addition to the Prozac. Within 10 days she represented with a major gastric bleed requiring prolonged hospitalisation and complicated recovery. The medical legal proceedings concluded that the 'large ulcer was attributable to NSAID use in a patient who had previously experienced dyspepsia while on NSAID, her risk being further increased by the concurrent use of an SSRI.
The case could not be defended on the basis that the association between the use of the NSAID and the potentiation of an ulcer diathesis was not recognised and was settled for a moderate amount.
The 'learning points' from this case include:
1. The need to clearly record adverse reactions in clinical notes. This is more applicable to institutions such as public hospitals where patients are frequently seen by different practitioners on subsequent consultations.
2. The importance of taking a full history on every case when seeing a patient for the first time.
3. The need to communicate with other health professionals involved in the care of a patient.
4. The importance of the responsibility on the treating doctor for understanding the adverse effects and interactions of all medications prescribed.
This also has relevance with requests for 'repeat prescriptions' of medication for conditions beyond the scope of one's practice. Be careful.
'Symptoms don't add up' stresses the importance of ensuring that the signs and symptoms at presentation can be adequately explained.
In this case, a 30-year-old man develops chest tightness following a trip abroad. An initial diagnosis of UR infection was made, despite the absence of a cough or chest signs. After repeated visits with increasing shortness of breath and chest pain, but no other supporting symptoms or signs of infection and a normal CXR and ECG, Dr A continued to treat the condition as an URI, with the addition of dyspepsia and anxiety. Three weeks later the patient demised as a consequence of a PE.
This case could not be defended on the basis of a failure to consider the history of a recent flight, the lack of correlation of signs and symptoms with the initial diagnosis and the failure to review the diagnosis on subsequent visits. The case was settled for a large amount.
The main learning point in this case is, if you cannot explain the clinical findings fully, if 'things don't fit, don't ignore it. Dig deeper, and if you cannot reasonably explain the symptoms, seek another opinion. For patients who keep coming back with the initial symptoms, or if there is a failure to respond to treatment, revision of the initial diagnosis is wise. Guard against the tunnel vision to which we are all subject.
'Just a quick look can be costly' - the danger of the 'corridor consultation'
In this case a nursing sister twisted her ankle during the weekend and on return to work she asks one of the doctors in the ward to 'have a look'. Dr A examined her finding swelling and tenderness in the ankle region and diagnosed her to have sprained ankle ligaments. Two days later when the swelling had not improved and the patient requested that Dr A reassess the ankle. At this time he sent her for an X-ray which on his review did not demonstrate a fracture, and the 'sprain' diagnosis was re-affirmed. Following many subsequent consultations and a chronic course of swelling and 'cellulitis', five months after the injury a diagnosis of 'midtarsal and hind foot Charcot's collapse' was made. On retrospective evaluation the patient was a poorly controlled diabetic and the initial X-ray did reveal features of established neuropathic osteoarthropathy. The midfoot arthro-sis had undergone significant further destruction and collapse.
The medico-legal review found that the action of the practitioner could not be defended as level of care fell below the accepted standard, and was settled for a moderate amount.
In this instance it is interesting to note that the Dr A did what he thought was reasonable and probably thought that he was doing this co-worker a favour. The case highlights the seemingly helpful practice of giving opinions on injuries or conditions, usually to co-workers or colleagues, in an informal or unstructured fashion. When a full history and examination have not been part of the process of arriving at the diagnosis we are exposing ourselves to legal action
These three cases put a spotlight on errors in medical practice which at some time or other we may all unwittingly commit and which may result in an unexpected malpractice claim against you.
Be aware of the medico-legal implications of your actions and consider your decision regarding medical practice insurance if you do not have cover.
The relationship between time to surgical debridement and incidence of infection in grade III open fractures
Reviewer: Dr F Birkholtz
Unitas Hospital
Lifestyle Management Park Suite 8C

J Singh, R Rambani, Z Hashim, R Raman, HK Sharma
Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction - Prepublication, accepted 12 March 2012. Available online.
As orthopaedic surgeons we are taught about the importance of an emergency debridement in patients with open fractures in order to limit infection risk. Most standard protocols advocate early antibiotics, coupled with early surgical debride-ment within 6 hours. The theoretical background to this stems from early experimental and clinical work (in the pre-antibiot-ic era) that showed the significant increase in bacterial colonisation after 5-6 hours without debridement.
More recent multi-centre trials including the LEAP study have shown that early antibiotic dosage and the quality of the surgical debridement are more important in preventing infection than the exact timing of the debridement.
In this study from the Royal Infirmary in Hull, the authors have looked at their grade III open fractures and tried to correlate the timing to debridement with outcome. They have retrospectively looked at a group of 67 patients with grade III fractures, the majority in the distal tibia. They divided the group into two, depending on whether the debridement was performed within 6 hours of injury or not. All of the debridements were however performed within 12 hours. The outcome measures were osteomyelitis at 1 year and non-union. Remarkably, there was no statistical difference in infection rate between the two groups.
This study has limitations in that it is retrospective and that the over 6 hour group was still relatively short at less than 12 hours.
It does, however raise the important point that early antibiotic delivery coupled with an adequate good quality debridement will be the most important factors in reducing infection rates.
It is important not to use this as an excuse and become lazy or complacent about open fractures. In units where the situation allows, a patient can wait for a senior colleague to perform a debridement after 6 hours, provided it is done properly and still within a reasonable time. If leaving the patient to someone else will mean an undue delay, then maintaining the 6 hour rule is probably a good idea.
Learning points:
- Early appropriate antibiotics are imperative and make a major difference.
- The quality of the debridement is paramount.
- It may be reasonable to let a patient wait a bit longer than 6 hours to ensure a good quality debridement by the right person.
- This debridement still needs to be done within a reasonable time.
Superior labral tears: Repair versus biceps tenodesis

Joseph P Burns, Michael Bahk, Stephen J Snyder J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2011 ;20:S2-S8 (Supplement)
The above supplement to the March 2011 Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery has been published together with several excellent articles. These touch on some of the 'hottest' topics in shoulder surgery at present. The article reviewed covers the topic of SLAP (superior labral tear from anterior to posterior) lesions by the author, Stephen J Snyder, who originally classified these lesions in 1990, concisely and thoroughly.
The biomechanical function of the superior labral complex is to stabilise the shoulder partially in the abducted externally rotated position. No doubt diagnosing this lesion is difficult. The authors suggest that both clinical and diagnostic (arthroscopic) findings contribute to a diagnosis. Criteria for diagnosing a SLAP lesion include the following:
- History of acute trauma or repetitive overhead athletic use (insidious onset of pain is not typical)
- 'Suspicious' physical examination with one or more positive SLAP signs (O'Brien test, Speed test, Kim biceps load test or Mayo shear test, among others)
- MRI arthrogram positive for SLAP lesion and/or perilabral cyst
- Detached superior labrum on glenohumeral arthroscopy.
No validated outcome measures are available to assess the outcome of SLAP lesions. Results are accordingly difficult to interpret but all studies available show significant improvement in outcome after repair. Some research does, however, suggest that only 64% of overhead athletes are able to return to their
pre-injury level of play after repair. Biceps tenodesis is offered as an alternative; no research has, however, been done regarding this treatment option in this specific patient population.
The authors also share their treatment algorithm for SLAP tears. They will repair all SLAP type II lesions in patients younger than 40 years of age. Primary tenodesis (in any age group) is only considered in the following instances:
- Degenerative biceps tearing
- Type IV SLAP (>50% of tendon damaged)
- Significant biceps groove symptoms
- SLAP lesion in combination with any of the following: I Full thickness rotator cuff tear
- I Degenerative osteoarthritis
I Significant degenerative labral changes In athletes who are dependent on the overhead position the authors will repair a SLAP type II lesion using the above guidelines but will then warn the athlete that a revision tenodesis might be necessary if the primary repair fails. Technical tips for a SLAP repair given by the authors include the following:
- one double loaded anchor placed at the 12 o' clock position
- avoiding anchors anterior to the biceps
- avoiding shortening of the biceps.
The guidelines offered in this article reflect the current standard practice when dealing with SLAP lesions.
Age at hip or knee joint replacement surgery predicts likelihood of revision surgery

C Wainwright, JC Theis, N Garneti, M Mellon JBJS (Br), 2011;93-B:1411-15
In this large series of 4 668 patients undergoing total hip and total knee replacement the authors compared revision and mortality rates during an 18-year follow-up period from 1989 to 2007.
The mean age of the patients was 69 years (29 to 97). At a mean follow-up period of 10 years postoperatively 1 175 patients (25%) had died. The mean age of those who died within ten years of surgery was 74.4 years (29 to 97). No association of revision or death could be proven with higher comorbidity scoring, grade of surgeon or patient gender.
Their findings showed that patients younger than 50 years at the time of surgery have a greater chance of requiring a revision of their total hip or total knee replacement than dying; those around 58 years of age have a 50:50 chance of needing revision; and the prosthesis will normally outlast the patient in those older than 62 years.
Patients over 77 years of age have a greater than 90% chance of dying than requiring a revision whereas those around 47 years are on average twice as likely to require a revision than to die. This information can be used to delay surgery in young patients requiring knee or hip replacement by prolonging conservative treatment until the age of around 62 years.
The information can also be very useful in discussing informed consent with the patient and in discussing the prognosis of the surgery depending on the age of the patient. It is then up to the patient and the surgeon as part of the informed consent process to decide on a relative probability of implant versus patient survival that is acceptable to both parties.
Contributing factors to surgical site infections

All surgeons need to know the current evidence based practice regarding the factors that have an impact on the surgical site infection; this will provide the highest level of patient care. Few articles were reviewed from the literature by the authors within the last 5 years. Forty per cent of the articles used were level 1 evidence; 24% level 2; 16% level 3; and lastly level 4 and 5 were 10% each. As a summary factors to look at are as follows:
A. Hand washing
1. Scrub technique: Dry scrub is better than traditional scrub. Follow protocol = non-sterile hand wash to remove debris, 5 ml aqueous alcohol rub, let hands dry completely
2. Antiseptic agent: Chlorhexidine in alcohol is the most effective antiseptic agent
3. Scrub duration: 3 min dry scrub decreases the colony forming units, not necessarily surgical site infection
B. Surgical site skin preparation: No benefit in pre-scrubbing, instead it irritates the skin and exposes resident microbes
1. Antiseptic agent: Chlorhexidine in alcohol takes precedence
2. Incision drapes: Adhesive and iodophor-impregnated drapes have no evidence of proven benefit
3. Hair shaving: Shaving increases the risk of surgical site infection; if it is unavoidable rather use an electric clipper, not a blade
D. Wound irrigation: No clear effectiveness or documented evidence exists
E. Surgical duration: 2 hrs and more for orthopaedic surgeons increase the risk of surgical site infection due to exposed sets, tissues and possible hypothermia
F. Patient-related risk factors: Diabetes can result in poor wound healing, and obesity has a higher risk for fat necrosis. MRSA colonisation increases the risk of infection to the patient, fellow patients and staff.
The article is worth reading especially to avoid getting stuck to old traditions which are not supported by evidence.
Treatment of clavicle fractures: current concepts review
Reviewer: Dr H Sithebe

Oliver A van der Meijden, MD, Trevor R Gaskill, MD, Peter J Millett, MD, MSc J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2012;21:423-29
Fractures of the clavicle are relatively common, accounting for approximately 2%-5% of fractures in adults and 10%-15% in children. Two-thirds involve the diaphysis with the lateral third comprising of 25% and the medial third the remaining 2-3%.
Historically, the vast majority of diaphyseal fractures have been treated nonoperatively except in cases where definite indications for surgical intervention existed such as open fractures. In the last decade however, there has been a plethora of publications highlighting a far greater level of complications (15%-18% non-unions), and patient dissatisfaction (symptomatic mal-union and loss of shoulder strength). This has subsequently led to a paradigm shift towards acute operative stabilisation of clavicle fractures with an expansion of indications to include amounts of displacement and comminution, and patient activity. Not a lot however is said about the complications of surgical intervention such as infection, neurologic compromise, and refracture after hardware removal.
The value of this article is that it provides a concise yet comprehensive review of the current trends in the treatment of not only midshaft fractures but also, of those involving the medial and lateral ends of the clavicle.
Importantly, it emphasises the fact that treatment of clavicle fractures should not be broadly applied resulting in indiscriminate surgical intervention, but rather it be individualised based on fracture characteristics and patient expectations. This is particularly pertinent in the light that there is still no long term evidence showing superior outcome of surgically treated midshaft fractures.
It certainly has a place in the armamentarium of all orthopaedic registrars in training in grounding their approach and reasoning in the often challenging and sometimes controversial treatment of these fractures.
Combined procedure of open reduction and shortening of the femur in treatment of congenital dislocation of the hips in older children
Reviewer: Prof EB Hoffman
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
University of Cape Town
Tel: (021) 674-2090
Pedrag Klisic, Ljubisa Jankovic Clin Orthop 1976;119:60-69
With this article Klisic, who was from Belgrade Yugoslavia, introduced the concept of femoral shortening in the management of older patients with DDH to the West. Since the use of femoral shortening the incidence of avascular necrosis has almost disappeared, a more concentric reduction is obtained with a better long-term outcome, and the need for pre-operative traction is eliminated.
They reviewed 60 hips in 47 children. The age at surgery ranged from 5 to 15 years. The average shortening was 2.5 cm (range 1-4.5 cm). The femur was derotated to 0°, and the valgus corrected to 115° neck shaft angle. The acetabular dysplasia was addressed with either a shelf or a Chiari osteotomy, and the iliopsoas was moved proximally on the femur. At a mean follow-up of 7 years (range 5-9 years) 63% had good results.
In a second study by Klisic,1 they reviewed 144 hips (including the 60 hips in the first study) at a longer follow-up with a mean of 13 years (range 9-24 years). Although they felt that the combined procedure had stood the test of time with 62% good results, they showed that older patients had poorer results: <8 years of age had 74% good results, 9 to 10 years 59% and >10 years only 32% good results. This is similar to Salter's findings in his landmark publication:21.5-4 years of age had 93.6% good results, while 4-10 years had only 56,7% good results. But Salter did not do a femoral shortening as his article was published in 1974 and Klisic's in 1976! Currently the watershed for relocating congenital dislocation of the hip, because of poor congruity, is 8 years in unilateral and 6 years in bilateral dislocations.3
Subsequent refinements have made this procedure a sine qua non in the treatment of the child >2 years with DDH. Articles by Wenger et al4,5 describe the current status of the technique and is a must read by surgeons doing this procedure. The pelvic osteotomy can either be a Salter or Dega. They shorten the femur an average of 1.5 cm (0.5-3 cm). There is no valgus of the femoral neck, but increased anteversion and they derotate an average of 33°, but caution against too much derotation which can result in posterior hip dislocation if a Salter pelvic osteotomy is done. If I do a Salter osteotomy I try and avoid derotation.
Wenger et al6 has also successfully used derotational femoral shortening in children <2 years with teratological dislocation.

Keen Kanyon
I bought my pair of Keen's having never owned a pair…
Price Paid: $60 Cdn
I bought my pair of Keen's having never owned a pair and I must say I will for sure be a repeat customer when my current pair needs replacing. They are a bit uncomfortable at first if you are not used to closed toed sandals as I was. But once you get use to them and break them in they are fantastic for hiking.
I went on a trip to the zoo during the summer and wore them and they were fantastic for all the walking I did.
So far I have found only 2 drawbacks to these sandals. First, if you are walking in sand or gravel (ie. on a beach) the sandals hold sand badly as the toe is closed and sand can't be flung out while you walk.
Secondly, and rather minor, the tan lines from wearing these are quite noticeable, so put sunblock on your feet.
Where to Buy
$85.00 (men's)
The Keen Kanyon is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen January 9, 2018 at Backcountry.com.

The Sixers have until Monday to get their roster down to 15, however, coach Brett Brown said Wednesday night that there was a chance the cuts could come sooner in order to give the players a chance to catch on with other teams.
Vander Blue, Mac Koshwal, Royce White and Khalif Wyatt can go shopping for a new team on Thursday after the Sixers waived them, according to multiple league sources.
The moves leave the Sixers with 16 players, which means one more player has to be waived by Monday. The team can have three players on injured reserve and Jason Richardson, Nerlens Noel and Arnett Moultrie are definitely out as they recover from surgery. Meanwhile, veteran Kwame Brown has yet to practice this season because of a hamstring injury. In a merit-based system, Brown would be gone. But since Brown is in the last season of a guaranteed, $3 million deal, the Sixers might keep him around.
The Sixers have Evan Turner, Michael Carter-Williams, James Anderson, Tony Wroten, Darius Morris and Rodney Williams in the backcourt. Thad Young, Spencer Hawes, Lavoy Allen and Daniel Orton play up front.
Forwards Hollis Thompson and Gani Lawal appear to be fighting for the last spot.
The biggest surprise of Thursday's cuts was Royce White, who at 6-foot-9 and 260 pounds, gave the team a versatile weapon off the bench. White was raw, but had the ability to rebound and push the ball up the floor. He also had a nice touch on passes inside, a rare skill for a big man.
However, White also was prone to foul trouble. Last Monday, he fouled out of a game against the Cavaliers at Ohio State and was ejected when he drew two technical fouls for arguing with the officials. White also suffered from a generalized anxiety disorder that could have left him a question mark for some games on the road.
The Sixers open the season next Wednesday at home against the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat.

University of Illinois Restricts Use of Search Firms
May 29, 2013
University of Illinois trustees have approved a new policy that limits how often the school can hire outside search firms to help fill open jobs.
Trustees voted Wednesday to only allow search firms to help hire a new president or someone for a senior position or coaching job. The practice will also be allowed in several other limited cases.
The new policy was drawn up in response to legislation signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn calling for such restrictions at public universities.
The university in the past has spent several hundred thousand dollars a year on search firms for any number of positions. In some cases those searches ended when candidates already working at the university were hired.

Franck Divay-Ydin Stool
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Franck Divay : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Franck Divay : The starting point for the Ydin stool creation was experimenting with the fiber-reinforced ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). I wished to do something with this material, without really knowing what. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Franck Divay : The main goal of this exploratory approach, was to understand the technical features offered by this material, for the realization of an aesthetic and functional element. The reproducing possibility of a single piece by molding, geometrically precise and both highly resistant without any external reinforcements addition, were the two strengths highlighted. The desire also not to make a simple cast in one piece, explains the wood appearance, which is a material I particularly appreciate. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Franck Divay : As a designer and a woodworker craftsman, I have the chance to be able to make in the workshop, small series of my own designs. The Ydin stool is on sale on my own online shop and several copies have been sold worldwide. This award will serve as a reference point to further develop my business, which is still in its beginnings: canvass shops to sell my creations and solicit new companies to offer my designer's services. With this A 'Design Award, the Ydin stool became my business card. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Franck Divay : From the experimental phase until the end of the development of the stool, it has elapsed two years. I did not have full-time worked on this project. It was like a recreation among other works in progress. At this time, I did not have a shop at my disposition and therefore not yet established the inoow design's manufacturing activity. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Franck Divay : As I said just before, it was a personal project. A project in which I was seeing a lot of potential. I felt at one point, the need to create a piece that shows my skills in terms of design, development and manufacturing. That is why I see the Ydin stool Ydin as a three-dimensional business card. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Franck Divay : For now, the stool is manufactured and distributed by myself and is part of the items collection for sale on the inoow design shop. Despite everything, I remain open to each opportunity about it. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Franck Divay : I think my joinery initial training and this capacity to be able to manufacture furniture, naturally brings me to create objets in this predilection field. .Frank Scott: .[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Franck Divay on Ydin Stool at design-interviews.com ]

How much does it cost to install tile?
Tile installation costs vary widely depending on the tiles you choose, where you want them installed, and what kind of demolition and surface preparation you need to have done. The national average cost for a tile installation project is $490-$750. The more tiles that need to be cut by hand and laid on the surface, the higher the total cost. Tile installation professionals can handle many different types of stone, ceramic and porcelain tiles, applying them in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and entranceways. They can create anything from artistic mosaic backsplashes in your kitchen to modern shower enclosures to rustic patios in your backyard. Tile installation professions often can remove existing flooring or old tiles and replace drywall. Tile prices range from $1 to more than $50 per square foot — handmade ones are even priced individually — depending on the material. Rustic, handmade or special-use tiles cost more to install because they must be applied to the surface one by one, rather than in a sheet. For most jobs, tile installation costs are based on the square footage of the project. For example, a standard 6-foot by 8-foot shower tile installation can average $1,200-$1,600, depending on whether the tiles go to the top of the shower or to the ceiling. The total cost of a tiling project also includes the grout and mortar, speciality tiles like bullnose caps, and tile mounting materials like backer board.
How much does it cost to install tiles in a kitchen?
One of the most common kitchen upgrades is installing decorative backsplash tiles in the space between the counters and cabinets. It's a chance for homeowners to get creative while also protecting the kitchen walls from splashes and stains. Like all tiling projects, kitchen tile project costs depend on the tiles you choose, installation materials such as grout and mortar, and any surface materials, like replacement backer board. The national average for a tiled kitchen backsplash is $490-$750. In general, pricing averages $10-$40 per square foot for installation, not including tile. Some professional tile installers have a minimum day rate for small projects, which averages $350.
How much does it cost to get tiling done?
You can install tiling on your floors, walls, counters, kitchen backsplash, outdoor patio and shower — to name a few places. Tile is beautiful, easy to clean, durable, and resilient against kids and pets. The national average for tile installation cost ranges between $490 and $750. Often, tile installation specialists quote a price per square foot for installation. Costs can increase if you want the pro to supply the tile instead of ordering it yourself. Other factors that can increase cost include specialized installation with a unique design that will require more labor to install.
Prep work will also affect tile installation costs. Demolition of the existing floor, counter or backsplash takes time and energy that will be reflected in the price. Necessary repairs, such as a sub-floor that needs bolstering before tile flooring can be installed, will also increase costs. For tile showers, one example of tile installation cost may be approximately $25 per square foot including all materials and labor. Average tile installation costs for backsplashes may run anywhere from $10 to $40, depending on the materials selected and the amount of labor required. The larger the area where tile is being installed, the lower the price per square foot will likely be. For example, a flooring pro may charge approximately $3.50 per square foot for wood-look tile installation in an area ranging between 6 feet by 24 feet and 8 feet by 48 feet.
How much does it cost to install a ceramic tile floor?
Tile installation costs for ceramic floors depend on the type of tile you select. You can purchase tile that sells for under $2 per square foot or tile that costs $50 per square foot — or more for artisanal and hand-painted tiles. The cost of labor to install a tile floor will also depend on the tile you select. It is far less labor-intensive to install a white 12-inch by 12-inch square tile than a 2-inch by 2-inch hexagonal tile with a distinct pattern. That extra time and energy equates to a higher per-square-foot installation cost. For example, a flooring pro may charge approximately $3.50 per square foot for labor to install wood-look tile in an area ranging between 6 feet by 24 feet and 8 feet by 48 feet. That same pro may charge $6 or more per square foot for a more intricate pattern, or a smaller space. Some installers may charge a minimum day rate for ceramic tile floor installation, such as $340 minimum per day, to cover business expenses and employee wages. If you're looking to reduce costs, removing your existing flooring and handling any repairs needed can help eliminate prep work costs. Prep work may be charged per hour and could cost anywhere from $25 to $80 per hour or more, depending on the region and the type of repair work necessary.
How much does it cost to tile a bathroom?
Tile installation costs are a key part of your bathroom remodel costs. The tile you select (which can range from under $2 per square foot to $50 per square foot or more), the demolition and repair work required prior to installation, and the size of the job will all affect cost. You can install tile in the shower, on the counters, on the wall or on the floor. The national average for tile installation cost ranges between $490 and $750. Bathroom tile is easy to clean and durable for daily life. Here are some examples of average bathroom tile installation costs:
- Tile installation at $25 per square foot of tiled bathroom area.
- A standard tub and shower combo requires tiles for approximately 60 inches of length. Calculate wall height and add 30 to 36 inches of tub width for the walls at the head and foot of the tub. If the tile walls are 6 feet to 8 feet high, in this example, the tile installation costs would run about $2,000. Price includes materials.
- Tile installation on a 3-foot by 5-foot regular tub and shower walls with an 8-foot ceiling: $1,450. Price includes materials.
- Tile installation on a 3-foot by 5-foot regular tub and shower walls with a 10-foot ceiling: $1,650. Price includes materials.

(Too long, didn't read? There's a summary at the bottom)
Hello there everyone.
So I was thinking, I live in the SF bay area (San Jose to be exact) and there is a fair amount of stores that I can get some basic bento stuff supplies from (boxes, accessories, chopsticks, etc... but unsure about the more expensive stuff..).
I know that some people who end up buying online spend a pretty penny on some of their bento gear because of the inflated prices, and I wanted to offer a cheaper alternative (that is, if you plan to buy more than a box).
I live fairly close to a Daiso (kinda like a japanese dollar store, except most items are $1.50) Japan store in San Jose, and would be willing to make maybe a monthly or bi-monthly trip if anyone ever wanted me to buy stuff for them there. They have a website at www.daisojapan.com and have a nice little selection of stuff. The one I am near, I don't know if they have everything the website does (they have a somewhat small selection last i went), but if you made a list I could try to find what you'd like (since their website only sells in bulk). I think this would be best if you planned to buy more than just a bento box. If you want to get more than just bento gear, I would be willing to shop around some more, but as long as it's not to heavy an item and I can fit it into a shipping box no problem-o (but no uber ginormous shopping lists please! minimum 5 to 10-15 max items is okay I suppose).
***** As a warning, some items are more than $1.50.. they may be $2, $3, or more. I've seen $9 sometimes *****
I would be willing to do this for a small fee of say $5 US ('cause of the 30 minute bus ride)... and I figured shipping would be whatever can fit in a flat-rate usps box of either small or medium (whatever they fit in), so it may vary depending on how much stuff you can get (but I will try to stuff whatever I can into the boxes with bubble-wrap around each item).
Here are rates: http://www.usps.com/prices/priority-mail-prices.htm
International: http://www.usps.com/prices/priority-mail-international-prices.htm
** flat rate seems a little pricey for international people, so this is why I say you may want more than just a bento box... more of a bento haul haha
I'd be more willing to go to Daiso Japan since It's a small bus ride away.. but if I were to go to San Francisco Japan town, i'd have to post to let you know :) it's a longer distance for me of about 1.5 hour / $16 train ride and then a 2.4mi walk or bus ride, so it's a little less often that I think I will go there.
If you check out this website from a fellow bento-er, I suppose you can get a small idea of what bento supplies are sold in san fran stores here: http://lunchinabox.net/2010/03/11/bento-store-update-san-francisco-japan....
(don't depend on images too much because I don't know when they've been updated last.. until I can go and take pictures myself... this is all that I have to give you)
** if it is from Daiso, you MUST want the stuff. They do not accept returns, and I don't want to end up with a bunch of bento stuff that I don't need, and a racked up credit card bill.
** You must be sure of what you want, and you cannot back down on what you order unless you notify me in a timely manner, as I don't want to end up wasting my time going to and from to find out that you can't afford to pay for it. If you want the stuff, make sure you have the money already. No I-O-U. If you need to cancel, let me know ASAP before I go. I'll probably post when I will be going anywhere, so as long as you inform me at least the day before.. no worries. --- Don't intend to be rude, but I don't want to be snubbed either.
I prefer money-orders for us purchases, but will take paypal (damn those stupid paypal fees!). once i were to receive it, i will ship your item.
for international, i think paypal will be best.
*******In short : I live in SF bay area, and will be willing to go out and buy bento stuff for you for $5 fee , usps flat rate shipping cost, and how ever much your stuff cost (will scan receipt). You won't have to buy very over-priced stuff from the internet if you plan to buy more than just 1 thing.******
*******If you are interested, feel free to shoot me an email since I read it a couple times a day at colon [dot] kelly [at] gmail [dot] com, or post here :D********
This is such a generous offer, xx_remix! I hope every sincere, responsible bento-hopeful will take you up on it!
It's really so nice of you to do this. :-)
That is a brilliant idea. i live in the UK and have been finding it so hard to get things to start out with!
I'm going to have a look on the site and take a note of the things i want, and get back to you!
OMG! You're awesome. I live in Oklahoma, so shipping from Japan and China is brutal. Also, does the Daiso near you have candy and would you be willing to ship any? I'll have to look through the site and see what would be good, I just ordered 2 new box sets, but could use more, or accessories. Thank you for being so considerate to those not fortunate enough to have any bento supply stores near them.
My Dearest Friend, If You Don't Mind, I'd Like To Join You By Your Side, So We Can Gaze Into The Stars, And Sit Together, Now And Forever, For It's As Plain As Anyone Can See, We're Simply Meant To Be.
@ littlepink: If you can find enough stuff, I'm more than willing to help out. I only worry about international ppl because the shipping rates are so high (at least to me they are x__x), so I hope you can find enough stuff so that the shipping is worth the price.
@ Rose: Hey there. :D I'm willing to ship anything to you, as long as your list isn't too big (so I can carry it back home lol).
As far as candy goes, I've seen a small selection of goods @ the one nearest me. I think the general idea of what I've seen is Pocky, panda cookie things, Hi-Chew (kinda chewy like starburst, but with natural fruit flavors), and these yummy fruit gummy snacks (also with natural fruit flavors) that my boyfriend likes to eat. I'm sure there are more, but that's just what I can remember from the top of my head.
This coming weekend (Aug 28) I'm going to head to Japan town in SF to take a look and pictures of the bento stock. I think there is a Daiso there too, so if you can shoot me an email by then, I can pick up stuff while im there. :D
It'll help pay for my train ticket x___x;;
If you are looking for more simple boxes (still plastic bleh), there is another dollar store in japan town called Ichiban Kan who also has a selection of bento stuff similar to Daiso products and for a similar price ($1.50 ish)... but they don't have a website. If you want, tell me colors and if they are for a boy/girl (so that I don't get a girly design for a boy) and I can take a look for you and find something. :D ((@ Rose: They have a whole isle for food and snacks and stuff, so if you have any popular brand names I can take a look here and have a better chance at finding stuff))
*As a warning, some items are more than $1.50.. they may be $2, $3, or more. I've seen $9 sometimes*
ok, so what i'm looking for really is cute shaped cuters, i've seen the wee plastic sets they do and they look perfect, looking for any sets with hearts/stars/flowers/bunnies etc in them. Maybe about 2-3 different sets (only if they are $1.50 though, if they are any more that $2 just get 1 or 2 sets)
Urm...what else.... oh a star shaped nori cutter, and also maybe a heart shaped one (not too fussed about the heart one though), some cute pink chopsticks, and a pink bento bag.
And lastly a pink bento box ^_^ I was looking at the pictures from the blog you linked, and the boxes look pretty good, do you know roughly how much they cost? As long as it's pink i'll be happy, but i really like the look of these...
Only looking to spend around $15 on the items at the most, then shipping on top of that.
Does that sound okay to you?
Oh and if it's not too much hassle some Hi-Chews? I love those things, i can get pocky and hello pandas at the chinese supermarket here, but no Hi-Chews!
@ littlepink : that'll be no problemo. :D
for the hi-chews, do you know what flavor you'd like & how many? i've only seen them in stick form, so Idk if they have bags. any preferences?
for the boxes, I think they are generally $1.50.. I think what'll really get you is the extra stuff, cause I know some of them don't come with chop sticks, and a strap which you'll end up paying another $1.50 for.
If you need anything else, contact me through my email so this thread doesn't get too congested :D

LONDON (AP) — Troublesome tourists bombard British embassies with bizarre requests for help — seeking assistance booking restaurants, finding directions or making romantic advances toward locals, Foreign Secretary William Hague said Wednesday.
Announcing plans to bolster the response by diplomats to emergencies in other countries, Hague disclosed details of the wild demands made to embassies by traveling Britons.
A tourist in the United States called diplomats last year after he discovered ants in his Florida rental home, while a visitor to Spain requested help finding a suitable spot for Christmas lunch.
"We are not the people to turn to if you can't find your false teeth, if your sat nav is broken and you need directions ... if you are looking for a dog-minder while you are on holiday," Hague said, in a speech at Britain's Foreign Office.
He said a visitor to Greece had requested assistance erecting a chicken coop, while an anxious Briton urged consular staff in Italy to throw a coin into Rome's famous Trevi Fountain on his behalf, after forgetting to do so during a holiday.
According to tradition, tossing a coin into the waters guarantees a swift return to the Eternal City.
"Our commitment to good relations with our neighbors does not, I am afraid, extend to translating 'I love you' into Hungarian, as we were asked to do by one love-struck British tourist," Hague said.
He warned that some tourists risked wasting "time and scarce resources with ludicrous requests."
Hague announced plans to open a new crisis center to enable Britain's government to better handle emergencies overseas, to train more staff to respond and to set up 24-hour phone lines to offer advice to stranded British travelers and their families.
Britain faced criticism during the Libya crisis last year over its chaotic attempts to evacuate U.K. citizens.
"This will be our approach — maintaining and extending our diplomatic network so that we are in the right places to help British nationals, increasing our capacity to respond to crises and our accessibility to the public," Hague said.
Hague has announced plans to send extra diplomats to China and India, new ambassadors to Kyrgyzstan and South Sudan and to reopen posts in Madagascar, El Salvador and Somalia.
The country also plans to scale back almost all of its activities in Europe outside European capitals, meaning many staff based in cities including Munich, Milan and Barcelona will be deployed elsewhere.
"Changing customer demands and the opportunities of new technology mean we no longer need large established consulate offices in, for example, Florence and Venice," Hague said.

The plastic used to produce the polystyrene beads is often made from recycled bottles. Buyers can find extra bean bag filling so that they can choose the level of firmness for the chair.
Size of Bean Bag Chairs
Bean bags chairs are available in sizes ranging from small to extra large. Children's bean bag chairs are just the right size to encourage sitting and reading or to keep them comfortable while watching a DVD.
Large bean bag chairs are ideal for adults and are made from more sturdy materials to withstand the extra weight. Giant bean bag chairs accommodate two or more adults, and they can be used for parties or a night in watching television or listening to music.
Shape of Bean Bag Chairs
Round bean bags chairs remain a popular choice, but there are modern shapes that suit a range of interior designs. Square bean bag chairs look like cubes and function as an ottoman, temporary dining chair, or table.
Gaming bean bag chairs are round and wide at the base, tapering towards the top to create a back. This shape keeps the user in a comfortable upright position, which is ideal for playing computer games. It also provides a more supportive seat for guests.

BERLIN - Volkswagen AG reaffirmed its full-year earnings outlook Wednesday even after it reported a 38 per cent fall in first-quarter profit as sagging demand in Europe weighed on revenues.
Europe's biggest automaker said it earned 1.95 billion euros ($3.15 billion) in the January-March period, compared with 3.15 billion euros a year earlier. Last year's figure was bolstered by a revaluation of share options in sports car maker Porsche, which has become one of the company's brands.
Nevertheless, the Volkswagen group, whose other brands include Audi, Skoda and Seat, saw its revenue fall 1.6 per cent to 46.6 billion euros from 47.3 billion euros amid "negative effects from declining European markets."
However, the company did benefit from increasing sales in North America and Asia and the number of vehicles delivered worldwide rose 4.8 per cent to 2.3 million. Volkswagen said it is "not completely immune" to intense competition in the car market and the impact that has on business.
The first quarter was "dominated by the difficult economic environment," CEO Martin Winterkorn said in a statement. "The markets were sluggish, especially in Europe, and not least in Germany. But we remain confident overall that we can pick up speed over the rest of the year."
In spite of the uncertainties, Winterkorn said the group was "standing by its goals for 2013." The company is forecasting that full-year revenue will exceed the 2012 figure and vehicle deliveries to customers will increase. It aims to match last year's operating profit.
The company's first-quarter operating profit was down 26 per cent at 2.34 billion euros from last year's 3.17 billion euros.
Volkswagen shares were up 2.2 per cent at 150.20 euros in early-afternoon Frankfurt trading after the company released its key earnings figures. A more detailed first-quarter report is due for release on April 29.

Smart Forstars concept
The two-seat Forstars previews the exterior styling set for the next generation of Smart models.
Those include the third-generation Fortwo and second-generation Forfour, both of which are being developed and will be produced in co-operation with Renault. The French automaker will get its own uniquely bodied versions of the new cars. The Forstars concept uses the same rear-engine/rear-wheel-drive mechanical package as the for-us pickup concept shown at the Detroit show in January. The Forstars also hints at what Smart describes as a new sport-utility coupe model that is under consideration as an affordable rival to the likes of the upcoming Volkswagen CrossUp.

Lily Allen sues Apple over hacked Macbook
Day in a life of a pop star
Lily Allen, the British pop star, has issued a writ against Apple, in an attempt to find out who hacked into her Macbook.
So says the Sun, which reports the pregnant songstress (25) is taking action after Apple told her it would co-operate only if ordered to by a court.
We doubt that she will get anywhere, but you never know - the case could uncover some new Mac security flaw.
In the meantime we applaud Allen's splendidly eccentric action. See, this is what you can do when you are pissed off and rich...

On a day when industry sales forecasts dropped, confidence about the recovery drooped and even Dodge slipped out of NASCAR racing, suppliers could still find a silver lining at a standing-room only morning session here.
If you're a North American supplier, focused on technology and a good balance sheet, there's good news: You've got a real future.
That's even in a U.S. market suddenly predicted to gain a dose of lethargy. And even in a sector of the industry that was supposed to devour itself in downsizing.
Suppliers are telling us two things: As every region but China and North America slows, more work is migrating here, thanks to favorable currency exchange rates and relatively strong demand.
Also, suppliers that supposedly would be squashed because they weren't ready for a sizzling recovery haven't been -- thanks to the lack of a sizzling recovery.
"The survivors have thrived," Jeff Schuster of LMC Automotive said.
Come again?
Wasn't there supposed to be a bullet to the head of most suppliers in 2012 thanks to a lack of capacity, lack of qualified personnel and lack of stomach to add capital, cash or both?
As Paul Taylor, chief economist at the National Automobile Dealers Association, said Tuesday: "Suppliers missed the bullet in the first half of the year. Modest growth, it turns out, is better."
In short, slow is good.

DHEA is hot. It is being touted as an anti-aging hormone, effective in preventing and reversing many of the debilitating changes in emotional and physical well-being we associate with aging and chronic disease. We are all aware that traditional western medicine has made impressive contributions in managing acute medical emergencies, but has less to offer the vast majority of people whose lives are limited by chronic disability. What is interesting about the data collected thus far is that low levels of DHEA appear to correlate with many aspects of the decline from vigorous good health in to what we think of as old age. What is even more interesting is that low-dose, physiologic supplementation with DHEA, in appropriate cases, appears to enhance one's health and sense of well-being. Used like a medicine in higher doses, it appears to ameliorate many serious disease processes.
Over the last few years, this hormone has caught the attention of physicians who follow the literature carefully, looking for new ways to help patients with medical problems unresponsive to traditional therapies. The following conditions have been associated with levels of DHEA lower than those of healthy people: cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, cancer Alzheimer's disease, memory disturbances, autoimmune disease including AIDS, chronic fatigue, poor immune response to infection, osteoporosis and manifestations of aging.
Backed by numerous animal a few human studies, physicians prescribing DHEA have compiled impressive anecdotal evidence of a wide range of benefits, without significant side effects, for patients with these conditions. Of course, we are all hoping for more clinical trials to document the efficacy and safety of DHEA, but until then, physicians and their patients, familiar with the data, may want to consider a trial of supplementation for recalcitrant health problems.
DHEA is but one of the hormones, made in various glands and organs, which facilitate communication in the body, keeping biological processes in balance and running smoothly. DHEA, which stands for dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. It is synthesized by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes. Secretion of DHEA peaks by the age of 25, after which levels gradually decrease by about 80 to 90 percent by the age of 70. Scientists have long been interested in the therapeutic uses of other hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and corticosterone, but DHEA has been relatively ignored, largely because its functions could not be ascertained. Until recently, scientists believed that DHEA merely formed the pool from which other active hormones could be synthesized. However, we now know that there are specific receptors on cells for the DHEA molecule, indicating the likelihood that it has specific functions of its own.
Here are a few examples of the
research that has been done.
Heart disease. Men with
heart disease have lower levels of DHEA-S than healthy men.
Healthy men with low levels of DHEA-S were 3.3 times more
likely to die of heart disease than those with high levels.
DHEA lowers serum LDL cholesterol.
Obesity. Mice bred for
obesity do not become obese when their diets are supplemented with DHEA.
Cancer. Mice bred for breast cancer do not develop cancer when their diets are supplemented.
Autoimmune disease. Patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and ulcerative colitis usually have very low levels of DHEA, especially if they are taking steroids. When supplemented, they had improved stamina and sense of well-being. Lupus patients had significant improvement of their kidney disease.

I've missed my markers! What can I tell you? It's two steps forward and then one step back here. My steps forward were actually using Graphite Pencils, my step back was running back to my marker stash first chance I got. Gotta have my color. My pretties! Pictured above are my Faber-Castell Brush tip markers! Love their vibrancy, their energy!
There's not much that makes me happier than outlining with the standard black Indian Ink Faber-Castell PITT pens! I can trust them to do the job.
I don't use the Sharpie Poster Paints as much as I'd like. I tend to forget I have them. As you can see they are of the broader variety. A bit chunky to carry around in my little marker-case.
Talk about versatile! These Sakura Microns fit the bill. They have all sizes of nibs and a decent selection of colors. I only wish they sold them individually where I live because I tend to use one over and over. When the ink runs out I have to buy the whole set for just one replacement marker. I've only been in a few Art Stores that have their inventory set up to purchase these singly.
Sharpie Ultra Fine Points…..they do everything and everyone has some. They are cheap and reliable. What more could I want?
Bic Mark-its are another inexpensive & dependable marker. Staples will sell these individually but it's not the ultra fine nib which I always prefer! Maybe someday they will.
Here's my little doodle'd Art Journal page for the day. A Mental Health Exercise!
Please tell me of other markers that you prefer. I've only got one COPIC marker, does anyone use these regularly? Are they worth the money?

NBC and Microsoft are planning to split up, according to the Daily Beast, whose Howard Kurtz reports the network will be buying back the remainder of their hugely popular MSNBC website from the software giant.
Kurtz quotes people familiar with the matter saying MSNBC.com will be rebranded as NBCNews.com.
NBC executives have grown frustrated at not having sole control of the MSNBC website, which does original reporting as well as aggregating content from the AP, Reuters, New York Times and elsewhere. At the same time, as the MSNBC channel has forged a separate identity as the liberal home of Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz and others, the company has worried about the brand confusion caused by its straight-news site bearing the same name. And the cable channel has lacked a site solely devoted to pushing its personalities.

Commodity trading market has first-class history going every part of the way back to the mid 1800s. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION bring fresh technologies and abilities to manufacture new resourceful tools and consequently additional food. Economic output begin to out-pace residents enlargement, our country developed a must for more well-organized agricultural storage, transportation and distribution of goods.
As the capacity of goods greater than before exponentially, FUTURES MARKET amid constantly standardized commodity pricing, grading and delivery became an complete requirement in order to deal with the seasonal gluts occurring just after harvest and sharp shortages occurring before harvest. Farmers and investors could now protect themselves from price rise and falls by locking in exact prices for commodities time-consuming earlier than essentially needing to receive physical delivery of them. So the FUTURES MARKET and COMMODITY TRADING was born.
What is Commodity market?
"A commodity is some good for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a market. It is fungible, i.e. the same no matter who produces it. Examples are petroleum, notebook paper, milk or copper…"
Specific items values to be well thought-out a COMMODITY and be traded in a futures market. A commodity must be STANDARDIZED. So whether we are discussion about a barrel of oil, a bushel of wheat, a ton of iron ore or a particular importance of foreign currency, commodities have a standardized and set value. This is exactly why such items as art or jewelry is not considered a commodity. Each piece is definitely one of a kind and totally single unto itself. Therefore the value differs and fluctuates massively from one part to one more.

Tonight, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 JST (Japan standard time), was held the new entry to Tokyo 2.0 series of events in collaboration with Mobile in Japan. Tokyo's Next Mobile Application Star was discovered after great presentations of four participants in front of a passionate audience & special judges.
Steven Nagata did a great job organizing this wonderful event, in which some celebrities took part. Danny Choo, Noboyuki (Nobi) Hayashi, Hareo Shiiya and Hiroko Tabuchi were the celebrity judges, Hideki Francis Onda was the Moderator of this imposing quest to discover Tokyo's Next Mobile Application —more information about the panelists.
While lots of people were filling the place, the virtual public from around the world did join the event through various channels, from Twitter (hashtags #MiJ and #t2p0). Presentations were kept under 5 minutes each. The goal for the participant was obviously to be able to explain his application and convince the public and the judges of its greatness.
The first application was ふきだしツクール (manga balloon maker) [iTunes link] from Pool Inc., presented by Tomoya Nakamura.
With Manga Balloon Maker, you can add manga-like text balloons to your photographs.
The second application was iPoseable [iTunes link] from Ryuuguu & presented by Grant Morgan.
This application lets you play with 3D articulated models.
The third application, presented by Yoski Akamatsu, was Twitcasting [iTunes] by sidefeed.
TwitCasting Live is a Twitter client which adds a live broadcasting service (both visual and sound streaming).
The fourth & last application was フーフーミントン (Huff Puff Volley) [iTunes link] from ConIT, presented by Tetsuya Imamura
It's a comical 3d sports game for iPhone. It's a multiplayer game via bluetooth where you can interact with your character, blowing directly on your iPhone
At the end of the presentations, the public had around 15 minutes to vote for its favorite application, while the online audience was able to cast its poll using twitter.
When the time ran out, votes were counted and Tokyo's Next Mobile Application Star was finally discovered! Two different prizes were given: the public's and the judges'. Twitcasting got prize of the public (getting a mysterious prize the name of which cannot be revealed for legal reasons) and Huff Puff Volley got second prize. The first prize granted by the judges, though, went to Huff Puff Volley while the second went to Twitcasting. Funny, isn't it??
Hiroko Tabuchi, New York Times Tokyo journalist, announcing the winner.
The night ended with a glamorous background and a great feeling of achievement for all participants. Not only tech people attended the event, but also journalists, photographers, artists, etc. all coming to discover the Star of the night. Not to forget the cute girls who were cheering up the party.
Special thanks to all the participants who made this event a reality and kudos to all the volunteers.
First and foremost, thanks to Steve Nagata without whom this would have not been possible! Thanks also go to Joseph Tame and his funny D. App videos, Pepi Valderrama for helping to prepare the set, Satoka F for her technical support, Paul Papadimitriou for his transcontinental support from the old continent, and many others that made this a success.

UPDATE: watch Dr. Appleton's videos that ran throughout the event.
