Paris is for lovers… of startups
Paris is known for many things, including fine art, fashion and food … but tech startups? Mais oui! Artistic, tech-savvy entrepreneurs, ready to subvert conventional business models and make big money, are using Parisian panache to bump up the P in entrepreneur.
The movement has been fueled by an economic crisis that left France with a surplus of overqualified graduates and a severe shortage of appealing jobs, especially for those with liberal arts degrees. But thanks to ingenuity and government backing, Paris is joining the global startup frenzy that has already taken hold in cities like London and Berlin — and the ace up its sleeve is artistic flair.
Digital companies like Skype, Spotify and SoundCloud have already proved that Europe can be a hotspot of up-and-coming technology, but could the city for lovers become its heart?
When Google almost went bankrupt
The quiet guy behind South by Southwest interactive
Renowned French entrepreneur Xavier Niel thinks so. "The word 'entrepreneur' is French; we have it in our genes," he says. "And the 'ecosystem' that exists in Paris makes it not only possible but easy to launch something. This is the most beautiful city in the world. It has its flaws, but it is a fantastic place to start a business."
In 2010, Niel co-founded Kima, a seed fund that invests in hundreds of early stage companies around the world, including France and the U.S. French digital stars like Marc Simoncini, creator of the dating site Meetic, and Jacques-Antoine Granjon, founder of the private sales site Vente-Privée, have also been big public advocates for a friendlier startup culture.
So far, Paris is showing real promise. It's already home to major successes like Dailymotion, Deezer and online advertisement firm Criteo, which secured a $1.5 billion listing on NASDAQ. Following in their footsteps are other smaller but fast-growing companies that people may not realize are "made in France" despite the fact they all share a distinct and artistic French style.
Which matters increasingly to the success of startups — from Steve Jobs' study of calligraphy to Google's latest $3 billion buy of the cutsey Nest, design might just be as important as coding.
Such is the case for Leetchie, a company that facilitates social payments; its minimalist website now operates in five languages. Also, there's Bunkr, an elegant presentation API aiming to kill PowerPoint; 60 percent of its users are in the U.S., and the company is looking to expand to China.
Another example of a startup with an unmistakable French accent is Vestiaire Collective, a marketplace for secondhand luxury fashion products that has expanded to the U.K. and Germany and, following a $20 million investment from Condé Nast, is entering the U.S. market.
Co-founder Sebastien Fabre said, "In order to launch a fashion marketplace, we had to be in Paris" — a feeling shared by many other local entrepreneurs. Stanislas Coppin, creator of Mindie (a music video sharing app) adds, "The startup culture is very international, but Paris is a truly inspiring place to work from."
Coppin had no technical background when he started his business. In fact, he met co-founders Gregoire Henrion and Clement Raffenoux in art school. Their sleek app is a perfect example of Parisian design's savoir faire; it has become a Silicon Valley darling and has raised $1.2 million in funding.
Yet the Mindie team did not get there on their own. "As an entrepreneur, you need constant feedback," says Stanislas, "and having the support of a tight-knit community is fundamental."
This is why the creation of incubators and co-working initiatives has played such a crucial role in building the Parisian startup infrastructure. Not long ago, founders-to-be had to work from cafés. Now they can set up in the 150,000 square meters of co-working space available in the city.
Some of these spaces are offered for free by incubators while others are community-run or privately owned. But they all help entrepreneurs meet and connect with like-minded self-starters. One prime example is Numa, a stylish, six-floor building buzzing with fashionable young techies pulling coffee-fueled workathons. The third floor serves as headquarters for Le Camping, France's first publicly funded incubator that started three years ago and has already helped dozens of budding entrepreneurs.
If you attended art school, you are already an entrepreneur of sorts, because you chose to do something hard just for the love of it.
"What is happening is quite incredible. Things have moved so fast," says startup whisperer Oussama Ammar, who was a mentor at Le Camping before co-founding TheFamily. This unorthodox incubator gives members a strong educational program based on the assumption that entrepreneurs are made, not born.
Even so, Ammar believes that when it comes to launching a startup, the city's artists might have an advantage over business school grads. "If you attended art school, you are already an entrepreneur of sorts," he says, "because you chose to do something that you knew was going to be hard just for the love of it."
Artistry is becoming an essential ingredient for success in the high-tech business worldwide, and Paris is bringing it to the game in spades.
Still, the entrepreneurial path is not easy. As an angel investor with more than 10 years of experience in France and Silicon Valley, Ammar is aware of the challenges. "The major problem in Paris is that most investors are still very conservative; they would rather put their money in less risky assets."
It will also take patience to change the culture of most big French companies, which are known for their aversion to change and an ingrained fear of outsiders. "Big business can be toxic for startups," complains Ammar. "They often choose to intimidate instead of welcoming innovation. The other day, two first-time founders presented their idea for a digitally enhanced television to a large TV station. They were threatened with a lawsuit!"
But young entrepreneurs now have a powerful ally: the French government. In a war against stifling unemployment, French leaders have created French Tech, a platform offering resources to the digital community, in a bid to boost entrepreneurship.
The most-celebrated government carrot has been the easing of taxes for crowdfunding, a system that helps many get the initial capital to kick-start their venture. The initiative was launched by Fleur Pellerin, the deputy minister for small and medium businesses, innovation and the digital economy, who has vowed to dedicate her political efforts to supporting startups. "These are the best vectors of innovation; they are the ones that will allow the digital transformation of French society and economy," she says.
Certain things may never change in Paris — like the strong espresso and mouth-watering patisserie. But change is afoot and the groundwork in place for a new generation of entrepreneurs who are ready to challenge the business status quo and turn the City of Light into a startup heavyweight.

You will find those who think judgment working day is close up accessible. An Apocalyptic event so catastrophic that can thrust humankind both into the Dim Age groups or in the caves of the Neanderthal. With the wind of conflict hollowing throughout the Middle of the-Eastern side where the plight of thousands fleeing the stench of warfare has cut off the movement of humankind sends a clear message that individuals who think just can be right after all. The epic misery, hopelessness and woe are actually the bedfellows of a great number of refugees. The lifestyle and death have a problem a lot of deal with everyday will be the brutal fact in the twenty-first century. Star Child
Could it have been the failings of humanity that just maybe rooted within a poisonous combination of spiritual and racial hatred that ignited the flames of terror? Could furthermore, it end up being the inability to sustain a civil modern society and also the malfunction to take the primacy of science that is ultimately causing the creeping destruction of cultures that some go as far back to antiquity? Will our indecisiveness and failings result in the ultimate exploitation from the human being race? Sobering queries to make sure. One must ponder thinking about what humanity has which is consistently performing on the surroundings. And, yet the planet is hurdling more quickly with every weapon that may be fired and fossil gasoline that is burned towards that day of judgment.
What humanity has which is
- There are actually those that believe judgment day is close up.
- It is actually a sad irony the Middle of the-Eastern side is in turmoil while.
With all the Middle of the-Eastern side in the midst of brutal rebellion in which the devices of conflict pay savage reprisals throughout the property could possibly be the driver that engulfs the globe in flames of devastation, mayhem and horror. As our attention continues to disregard the plight of a lot of, in this article in america where press and too a number of our politics Presidential challengers with this next election period are already blinded by their particular personal attention exactly where dollars flows to potential can't appear to knowledge how precariously shut The united states is usually to sliding into an abyss that will move opinion working day so much much closer.

It is a sad irony the Middle-Eastern is in chaos whilst our legislators are behaving like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum with regards to issuing plans that will effectively simplicity the savage carnage by demented men and women and also the monetary issues that countless American citizens are confronted with daily on this site in the traditional Us. They have the access to set up an goal that could bring back religious beliefs in your government they are doing some thing to reduce the needless slaughter in our naive people, maintain our national security by upgrading our system, maximize technologies to negate the impact of the things climate change continues to do, therefore more practical objectives that could certainly terminate humanities working day of verdict.

That old saying " as Nero fiddles Rome is getting rid of" just could possibly be the most apropos assertion pertaining to how Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum of the congress and governmental workplace seekers lately really are. They consistently do nothing or something so unimportant that truly has no effect on existing conditions that have increased the battling of thousands and thousands not only here in america but all over the world. Now, since the community is relocating even closer to that fateful day the drums of warfare happen to be enjoyed, we the hapless multitudes must not only expect and pray that in the near future the light of purpose, consideration and benevolence will crack through the hard storms clouds of exploitation that continue to have their way. convergence of robotics

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Saratoga Springs • More than 1,000 volunteers were helping dozens of Saratoga Springs residents clean up on Sunday, a day after powerful storms moved through the city.
More than two dozen homes were damaged. Meanwhile, nasty-smelling sludge from the recent Dump Fire burn scar continued to drip down the nearby mountainside into the same neighborhood residents were trying to help clean.
Mayor Mia Love said 11 basements were filled with mud, some so much so that mud was seeping through the floor boards on the ground level. Another 20 homes were damaged by water during Saturday night's storms, which brought torrential downpours and sent swiftly moving water and mud into nearby homes and streets.
The path of the sludge seemed to have no rhyme or reason, neighbors said. As it plowed its way down city streets, it spared some homes seemingly right in the path, but engulfed others.
It spared the home of Rene Schuurman, but left 6 inches of mud in the basement of his neighbor, Alan Rencher.
Rencher said he was home Saturday night when he heard the water and mud heading toward him.
When he looked out, he saw water and mud pushing a car down the street. Moments later, Rencher said, he "had 6 inches of mud in my basement and I'm one of the lucky ones."
Very few residents apparently had flood insurance as their homes sit on a hill, but hoped that insurance companies would consider Saturday's damage as wildfire-related and cover the losses.
"I don't have flood insurance," Schuurman said. "I don't think anyone has it around here. Who would have ever thought there would have been flooding in this area?"
What was once a beautiful, grassy park had turned into a swamp. The mud flowed with such force that it ripped and twisted metal fences that separated homes.
Patti Robe, of Saratoga Springs, and her daughter, Karin, spent the morning helping empty a basement filled with mud so the homeowners could salvage possessions such as pictures.
Other volunteers were part of a "bucket brigade" composed of about a dozen people feeding mud-filled buckets back and forth along a line.
"I've never seen anything like it," Robe said. "I can't believe one basement was completely full with mud and every [basement] window was shattered."
The homes that suffered the most damage were in the northwestern portion of the Jacob's Ranch subdivision near 2100 South and 400 West, officials said.
The sludge, which refilled culverts and drains just as fast as the volunteers could unclog them, smelled like burned fire debris.
Red Cross volunteer Shaun Heaton said volunteers had been taking two-hour shifts since 8 a.m.
"It's been wonderful to see all the volunteers out here helping," he said.
Love said she was working on getting the neighborhood declared a federal disaster zone so the area could potentially receive federal money to assist with the cleanup.
The flooding forced the closure of Redwood Road for about four hours Saturday night.
The city said affected residents were asking for help in cleaning out basements and removing debris from gutters and storm drain channels. Volunteers who want to help with cleanup efforts were being asked to avoid parking on the affected streets Ruger, Appaloosa, Weatherby and Lariat and instead park on other side streets or in a church parking lot on Weatherby.
Utahns could expect sunny skies statewide Monday for the Labor Day holiday. Temperatures were expected to be in the 80s in northern Utah and in the upper 90s in southern Utah.
Twitter @sltribjanelle Natural disaster: Is flooding covered by homeowner's policy?
Flooding is one of two disasters the other being earthquakes that are not covered by traditional homeowner's insurance policies. Although fire damage is covered, earthquake and flooding coverage must be purchased separately.
One common misconception is that if your home floods, you will get federal disaster assistance. Even if you do qualify for such assistance, it's more likely to be in the form of a loan instead of an actual reimbursement for damage to your property.
Not sure whether to get flood insurance? Go to the National Flood Insurance Program website, Floodsmart.gov, for help determining whether you should purchase the coverage. Homeowners also may call the NFIP at 1-800-427-2419 for more information. Note: There's typically a 30-day waiting period on new flood insurance policies.

Stay in it
Montreal steamrolls Toronto FC 6-0
We can't win the Amway Canadian Championship series in the first leg, but we sure could lose it if we're not careful.
Obviously, like any match, we'll be going into it looking to win. However, what we cannot do is let the game get away from us (See: ACC semi vs. Toronto FC). If we go down a goal and start chasing the game that could let the score get away from us, which could be very difficult to overcome in the second leg at BC Place.
We need to stick to the game plan and keep our composure, regardless of any setbacks that might occur. Our 'Caps are unbeaten at home and have looked very strong at BC Place, so even coming home down a goal would not be the end of the world and would keep us within striking distance.
Even with a close win in the first leg the final would be far from decided, as Montreal have shown that they can go on the road and get results (See: Seattle and Portland).
Remember, this first leg is only halftime. The second and decisive game will be in front of our rocking fans, so we need to manage the game and stay in it so we can use our home field to our advantage.
Marco Di Vaio
Di Vaio snipes one against Columbus Crew
The Italian will be a key figure in this year's ACC finals. Di Vaio has scored in all six home matches for Montreal this season.
He is a player who is certainly in fine form. He's scored at the highest level with the Italian national team and has years of experience in Serie A. Now, he is showing everybody in MLS what a class striker he really is.
Di Vaio is a poacher who knows when and where to show up in the box, but he can also score goals from distance.
Our defenders MUST be fully aware of him when Montreal is attacking and keep a body by his side at all times. We cannot afford to give him any room around the box because he is lethal.
If we can deny him the ball and limit his chances, it will go a long way towards getting a positive result to bring back to BC Place.
Manneh subs on and makes difference vs. FC Dallas
Both teams are playing this game in the midst of a heavy schedule and will have to do some squad rotation to bring some freshness to their lineup.
There is a good chance that the players in the starting eleven for both teams will be feeling their legs go from under them sometime in the second half, and that's where substitutions could become key.
Expect these to start around the 60-minute mark. This is where the coaches can make a big difference by putting game changers on the field against a team that could be running out of steam.
There is a good chance this game will be decided by the subs made by the coaches and we know we have a couple of players that have come off the bench before to make that kind of difference (See: Kekuta Manneh).

So, I was gonna make a MHS fun video when I wanted to config Jabo 1.5.2. But I get this one error message that might be able to be solved and making this emulator work like a charm. [IMG]i.imgur.com/7aCGA6f.png[/IMG] Does that mean I have to run the game? Because im running Super Mario 64 (U) .z64 on the emulator and all of a sudden this error message pops up as well. But no graphics. The game works. Just a blank screen with sounds. [IMG]i.imgur.com/42Jsp0c.png[/IMG] Usually Jabo's Direct3D plugin would solve this problem, like in this case of Windows 8. Although, has internet, which leads to tons of lag. I use a VM because I can't record the video from Windows Vista. It would work, it's just a blank screen. Could someone please help me solve this?

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Ryan Carroll recorded 40 saves to make two first-period goals stand up as the Harvard men's hockey team defeated Brown, 2-1, Tuesday night at Meehan Auditorium in the 158th installment in college hockey's oldest rivalry.
Conor Morrison and Danny Biega scored power-play goals for the Crimson (7-19-1, 5-14-1 ECAC Hockey, 2-7-1 Ivy League). Biega added an assist, and defensive partner Chris Huxley logged two helpers. Pier-Olivier Michaud posted an 8-2 record on faceoffs, while Alex Fallstrom was 8-3. Alex Killorn registered six shots on goal.
Carroll made 19 of his saves in the final period, and Harvard killed all four power plays for Brown (8-14-5, 6-12-2, 3-6-0). Mike Clemente made 18 saves for Brown. The Crimson went 2 for 8 on its own man-advantage chances. Harvard has scored nine power-play goals in the last four league games and has killed its ECAC opponents' last 13 power plays.
Harvard took the lead for good at 7:27 of the opening frame. Matt Wahl hauled down Killorn for a tripping penalty, and Morrison capitalized. Huxley got the puck at the top of the left circle from Danny Biega and found Morrison open on the right post. The sophomore slung home a high shot before Clemente could get across the crease.
Biega doubled the Crimson lead 10 minutes later, after Chris Zaires was called for boarding Harvard's Danny Fick. Daniel Moriarty moved the puck from the left corner to Huxley, who passed across to Biega at the right point. Biega sent a shot toward the net, and it deflected in off a Brown player and in for Biega's fourth goal in four games. Brown had most of its pressure in the opening minutes of the period and held a 9-8 shots edge at the intermission.
The Crimson continued to generate chances in the second period, thanks in part to four minor penalties by the Bears. Clemente, however, stopped all 11 shots Harvard put on net and got help from the goalpost on Killorn's deflection of a Huxley shot in the final minute. Carroll remained solid on the other end, keeping out 12 Brown shots.
After killing the final minute of their latest penalty, the Bears got off to strong start in the third period, pinning the Crimson in its own end on consecutive shifts. Carroll, however, saved all four shots in that sequence.
Bobby Farnham broke through for Brown at 8:08 of the third. He took a pass from Zaires, pulled the puck to his forehand and slid it in to trim Harvard's lead to 2-1. The Bears got a chance to tie with 4:44 showing on the clock, but Carroll made a fantastic glove save after Jimmy Siers worked free in front of the net.
The Bears continued to put shots on Carroll but would get no better chance than that, and the Crimson hung on for its third win in four games.

Tipsy is available as a stand-alone plugin or as part of the DisplayBuddy series. See a demo here or try it out in WordPress live!
The Tipsy plugin adds the ability to create tooltips for placement in posts or pages. Tooltips are displayed when hovering or clicking on specified content. This allows you to provide additional information to visitors.
The first step in adding Tipsy tooltips to your site is to create a group in the Tipsy settings. Tipsy allows you to create multiple groups with unique settings, styles, and even default tip content.
Feature Overview
6 different tooltip layouts to choose from.
Tipsy uses oembed for embedding media within the tooltip. See a list of what media oembed supports here
Displaying on your site
To add a Tooltip you will need to first be editing a page or post. Highlight the text/content that you would like to be hovered or clicked to display the tooltip. Then click the Tipsy icon in the WYSIWYG editor. Select the Tipsy group you would like to use and provide the test/content you would like to display within the Tipsy tip. This can be test or other HTML elements, even video.
Display your Tipsy in style by using the shortcode
[tipsy content="tip content goes here" use_oembed='false' group="0"]content that the tip applies to[/tipsy]
Shortcode Parameters
content · Content that goes inside of the tooltip. group · group number for the tooltip group that you want to display. use_oembed . true or false - Whether to embed videos or not (uses oEmbed)
Display Videos inside Tipsy Shortcode
Use the following format to show YouTube videos inside the Tipsy tooltip. Change the video link to any YouTube link you wish:
[tipsy content="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXX" use_oembed='true' group="0"]content that the tip applies to[/tipsy]
Display Images inside Tipsy Shortcode
Use the following format to show images inside the Tipsy tooltip. Change the image link to any image link online:
[tipsy content="http://www.googlestore.com/images/googlestore_large.gif" use_oembed='true' group="0"]content that the tip applies to[/tipsy]
Template Tag
You can manually call Tipsy if you know the Group ID.
<?php /* * pb_tipsy() * Insert a Tipsy tooltip * * * The defaults for the parameter $args are: * content - Default is an empty string - The content to show in the tooltip * group - Default is 0 - The Group ID (you can get this from the Tipsy settings) * filler - Default is an empty string - The text that people hover/click on to view the tooltip * use_oembed - Default is false - Whether you intend to use oembed to embed a video * * * @param array $args Elements that make up a voting group to insert. * @return Tip HTML on success */ ?>

The table lamp Lady Shy, designed by Giovanni Alessi Anghini and Gabriele Chiave, can be used as a reading lamp, placed on a table or bedside table, or as a lamp for lighting a room. Its plastic design made up of juxtaposed volumes makes it an eye-catching furniture accessory if placed on a surface or on the floor. Lady Shy comes with a LED source, it's name Lady Shy has been chosen by the designers because the light source is at once visible and hidden, and is protected by the lamp structure that resembles a skirt blowing in the wind.
Giovanni Alessi Anghini was born in Milan in 1981, after conducting his primary studies in Italy and Switzerland; his professional training began at the University of Florence where he focused his attention on courses in cultural sociology and anthropology. In 2002, he returned to Milan with a view to translating and applying his studies to industrial design, collaborating with Stefano Giovannoni and working freelance. Over the following years, he worked with companies such as ALESSI, PHILIPS, VITRA, VERSACE, FOREVERLAMP, both through experience within the companies themselves, and as an external consultant through his own studio, GAA Design Farm, founded in 2006. In the following years his work (notably his first project: POP-UP) was recognized with the 2008 GOOD DESIGN AWARD, and was included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Architecture and Design in Chicago (The Chicago Athenaeum). He begins the year 2011 with a new adventure, aimed at understanding oriental cultures, hence the decision to base his project activities between Lake Maggiore and Asia. www.gaadesign.net
Gabriele Chiave knows no boundaries. As a lifelong observer of the world around him, Gabriele is driven by the comprehensive nature of design and a desire to ignite meaningful interaction between product and consumer. Born to diplomat parents in Metz in 1978, he has lived in France, Dakar, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Rome, Milano and now makes his home in Amsterdam. These diverse resident experiences enable him to bring a global perspective to design like no other. Having won competitions for Emergency, Rotari, Epson, Toshiba and Pirelli, as well as spending significant time at Marc Sadler studio, and working with prestigious Italian brands such as Alessi (organization of 7 Workshops held by LPWK/Alessi), Dainese, Foscarini and Serralunga, Gabriele has mastered the subtle nuances and balance between form and function, industry and art, structure and experimentation. Currently serving as creative director at Marcel Wanders, this art aficionado and jazz lover oversees all projects in product and interior design, and art direction for a range of premium brands – passionately leading all to participate in the expression of beauty and technical simplicity in order to expand the human experience.

A New Southern Woman
The Correspondence of
Eliza Lucy Irion Neilson, 1871–1883
Edited by Giselle Roberts
A collection of letters portraying the impact of the Civil
War on the Irion family and postwar life as a white Southern
From 1871 to 1883, Eliza Lucy Irion Neilson
(1843–1913) composed and saved more than 130
letters documenting family and domestic life in Columbus,
Mississippi. A New Southern Woman features 80 letters
from Neilson's correspondence, providing readers with a
glimpse into the recovery of domestic culture in postwar
Mississippi, the impact of the war on marriage and
education, and a reflection on family relationships after the
conflict ended.
Lucy Irion married farmer John Abert Neilson (1842–1922) in April 1871, and together the couple created an
agricultural partnership out of the scrimping modesty of a
new Southern ethos. As Lucy built her life around visions
of a domestic ideal, she also watched her widowed sister,
Lizzie, her single sister, Cordele, and her schoolgirl niece,
Bess, search for their own ways of becoming women of
the New South. When it came to turning the war-torn
vestiges of antebellum femininity into a workable postwar
reality, white Southern women no longer looked to one
ideal. Instead Neilson's correspondence suggests that
elite white womanhood remained a fluid and negotiated
territory where submissive wives, memorial crusaders, and
single and self-sufficient women created a new Southern
consciousness under a broader rubric of genteel postwar
Fashioning their contrasting individual
stories within the collective bonds of family
and community, the Irion women met and
overcame the generational challenges of postwar
life together—and, by celebrating both the
traditional and nondependent ideals of womanhood,
they made a dynamic contribution to the
creation of a New South.
Giselle Roberts is an honorary research associate
in American history at La Trobe University
in Melbourne, Australia. She is the author of The
Confederate Belle and editor of The Correspondence

Charlie Lembo paced back and forth in the dugout, challenging his players to keep their heads up as they walk off the field.
For the third year in a row, the Knights charged into the semifinals. For the second time in three seasons, Southington elbowed their way into the final game. For the third year in a row, the Knights fell short of their ultimate goal.
On Saturday, June 8, Southington's season came to an end with a 4-0 loss to Amity at Palmer Field in Middletown. As his seniors mourned their third failed attempt at a Class LL championship title, Lembo tried to keep it in perspective.
"It says a lot about our kids and the hard work they put in from the first day of school and the expectations we have as a coaching staff," he said about the recent string of postseason rallies. "I think they buy into that, and I think they realize that it doesn't come without a lot of hard work. There are no guarantees, either, that when you get here you're going to get what you want."
The loss came on the heels of a hard-fought semifinal victory on Tuesday at Muzzy Field in Bristol, the site of a controversial title game loss in 2011. Joe Rivera surrendered one run in the first inning and another one in the top of the sixth, but the junior hurler controlled the game from start to finish with six strikeouts and as many hits over a complete game victory.
"In the first inning, it looked like he really didn't have much confidence in his breaking pitch, and his fastball was elevating," Lembo said about Rivera's performance on the mound. "I thought the umpire did a really good job behind the plate, but his zone was a little lower. We had to tell Joe to get his ball down lower. They were hitting the ball on some elevated fastballs. Once he got the ball down and got that curveball going, I had a good feeling."
Southington answered the early run with two scores of their own in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead for good. The Knights put the game out of reach with a two-run rally in the fourth inning. Matt Sirois went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI. Andrew Goralski went 2-for-3, including a pair of RBI singles. Ted Shaw (2-for-4) scored twice. Rivera scored once, and the Knights advanced with a 4-2 victory over No. 8 Trumbull (17-7).
"It feels great. It really does," said Lembo. "A few of these guys have been with us for three or four years now, and the senior class is now going to go to two championships and a semi as sophomores, juniors, and seniors. That's a pretty special class right there with those seniors on the field. I've said it before. I don't want this season to end. I love these kids."
Southington's momentum didn't carry into the final contest. Amity loaded the bases in the first inning before the Knights scored their first out, but Southington escaped the inning with a 1-0 deficit.
"We got out of that first inning with only one run, and I thought we were going to be okay," said Lembo. "[Amity pitcher Michael Concato] threw a great game today. He kept us off balance a little bit, and he hit his spots, too. We had a couple of situations early in the game that I thought we should have capitalized on but didn't, and I think that's the game right there."
Southington's offense struggled against the future Dartmouth pitcher. Brett Shaw broke up the no-hitter in the second inning with an infield single and Matt DiNello drove two long balls into center field, including a double to the fence in the bottom of the third inning.
Nobody else reached base for the Knights as they suffered their first shutout loss of the season. The loss ended Southington's spring campaign. The Knights fell to 20-4 with the loss.
"We could have gotten a couple of runs early in the game in the first few innings, and that was the difference," said Lembo. "They got one in the first, and I think we needed to counter there to put some pressure on them and make them think. But they're a really good baseball team. We made some mistakes today that were very uncharacteristic of our guys—a couple of double play balls that I thought we should have had. We just didn't get it. I tip my hat to Coach [Sal] Coppolla at Amity, and hopefully we'll be back and ready to go next spring."

Study links calcium pills to heart attacks
(CBS News) People taking calcium supplements may be increasing their chances of a heart attack, according to a new study.
Researchers tracked nearly 24,000 adults in Europe across 11 years for the study published in Heart, a medical journal, and concluded that those who took calcium supplements had an 86 percent greater chance of having a heart attack.
Their conclusion was that "increasing calcium intake from diet might not confer significant cardiovascular benefits, while calcium supplements, which might raise (heart disease) risk, should be taken with caution."
Additionally, people with a naturally high calcium intake through foods like milk and cheese tended to have a lower heart attack risk, the study found.
"Calcium is an important mineral," Sabine Rohrmann, Ph.D., the senior author of the new study and an epidemiologist at the University of Zurich, in Switzerland, told CNN. "However, we probably do not need mega-doses of calcium, and the current recommendation"--1,000 to 1,200 milligrams for most U.S. adults--"can be met by a balanced diet that includes (low-fat) milk and dairy products."
The reasons for the differing risks aren't entirely clear, but researchers suggested the sudden burst of calcium into the system from supplements may be part of the problem. CNN reports that "calcium, along with cholesterol, is one of the substances that contributes to the hardening and narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis). For reasons that remain unclear, when calcium levels spike suddenly, the calcium appears more likely to end up in plaques that line artery walls, a major culprit in heart attacks."
Some medical professionals have greeted the study with skepticism. Dr Carrie Ruxton, from The Health Supplements Information Service, told the BBC: "Osteoporosis is a real issue for women and it is irresponsible for scientists to advise that women cut out calcium supplements on the basis of one flawed survey, particularly when the link between calcium, vitamin D and bone health is endorsed by the European Food Safety Authority."

Philadelphia and the March for Life
The grotesque revelations out of West Philadelphia may add an extra poignancy to this year's March for Life tomorrow in Washington. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell and members of his staff have been charged with multple criminal counts, including eight counts of homicide in the deaths of one clinic patient and seven unnamed infants. The details of their decades long criminal spree should still have the power to shock in a nation that has grown complacent with the institution of abortion as purportedly "safe, legal and rare," something that couldn't be said about Dr. Gosnell's curious practice. If you have the stomach for it, you can find the details here in the District Attorney Seth William's indictment and the almost unbelievable grand jury report.
Gosnel specialized in late term abortions, which apparently in his practice amounted to nothing short of outright infanticide. A harder look at late-term abortions and the issue of fetal viability may become a larger part of the public dialogue over abortion in the coming months. A raft of newly elected conservative politicians promise to reboot the civic discussion on abortion. A new law in Nebraska raises the question of fetal pain as a legitimate concern. New breakthroughs in postnatal treatment continue to push lower the threshold on fetal viability, a point of "state interest" in protecting prenatal life according to the Roe v. Wade decision itself. As a nation we may not be able to come to complete agreement on the institution of abortion, however, there may be reason for optimism that some common sense standards about common decency for the unborn may be within our reach.

David Axelrod: Paul Ryan Pick Meant to 'Thrill the Most Strident Voices' in GOP
(NEW YORK) -- "Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod claimed that Mitt Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to join him on the GOP presidential ticket was meant to "thrill the most strident voices" in the GOP, and said Ryan's selection should "trouble" the middle class.
"He (Ryan) is a right-wing ideologue, the intellectual energy behind the Republican caucus there in Congress," said Sunday morning on "This Week." "He constructed a budget that, like Romney, would lavish trillions of dollars of tax cuts, most of them on the wealthy, would raise the burden on the middle class, would cut back things deeply like student loans, and research and development, and things we need to grow the economy."
Axelrod called Ryan "outside the mainstream," adding that the new Republican ticket will give voters a stark choice on Election Day.
"It is a pick that is meant to thrill the most strident voices in the Republican Party, but it's one that should trouble everybody else, the middle class, seniors, students, because of Ryan's record," Axelrod said. "He is outside the mainstream, but he — this was a defining choice for Mitt Romney, and now it's also a clarifying choice for the American people."
Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, appearing on "This Week" following Axelrod, called Ryan a "terrific pick," and told me he was not disappointed about not being selected himself as Romney's running mate.
Pawlenty was on the short list of top vice presidential contenders this summer, as well as in 2008 when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., selected former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
"You know, I'm excited for the ticket. I'm excited for Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan," Pawlenty said. "I didn't support Governor Romney because I expected to be vice president, so I'm not disappointed. I didn't get something I didn't expect."
"But it's a great ticket, it's a terrific pick by Governor Romney, and Congressman Ryan, as you've already seen, is bringing energy to the ticket, and he's got a clear, specific vision, an adult approach to solving the nation's problems, and you don't see that from the president and his team," Pawlenty added.
Axelrod went on to say that both Romney and Ryan "do not believe" in Medicare and went after Ryan for his controversial budget plan that would cut federal spending significantly.
"He's the guy who's the architect of a plan to end Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher program and ship thousands of dollars of costs onto senior citizens," Axelrod said. "He's someone who was the architect of a Social Security privatization scheme that was so out there that even George Bush called it irresponsible, and he believes that we should ban abortion even in cases of rape and incest."
Pawlenty, rebutting Axelrod, praised Ryan for offering up a specific proposal for addressing the fiscal issues facing the United States.
"I think the American people are smart, and I think the American people respect people who have real solutions to big problems," Pawlenty said. "And so Congressman Ryan and Governor Romney have put together a plan that actually tackles the problem in specific, preserves Medicare and other programs for people who are already on the program, but begins to change it in needed and realistic ways for the next generation. And it's a big debate, it's an important debate, but unlike the president, they are actually willing to lead."
Ryan is the author of the "Path to Prosperity" budget plan that would, among other things, significantly cut federal spending and reform Medicare. Being associated with Ryan's budget plan could prove politically risky for Romney in election swing states like Florida that have a large number of elderly voters.

ACLS Among Bright Spots in Chip Equipment Recovery on Hold
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The semiconductor equipment industry is not seeing the second-half rebound it expected, writes longtime chip equipment analyst Robert Maire in a note out this morning.
Maire, reviewing results in the last several weeks from the major players, including KLA-Tencor (KLAC), Teradyne (TER), Lam Research (LRCX), Mattson Technology (MTSN), and FormFactor (FORM), writes,
So much for a second half recovery. Q3 is shaping up to be the quarter that wasn't. Sounds like a lot of business is moving to the right. The question is how far to the right? The underlying technology dynamics remain solid but there is a lot of market fuzz surrounding it as we pointed out in our last report yesterday. Our concern is growing that Q4 also dissapoint if things push too far. So far, everyone is adamant that Q4 will be good, however thats what everyone was saying about the second half of 2013 a few months ago.......
Maire notes that "In a bizarre twist of fate, it seems the companies that are currently losing money are the ones guiding up," citing last night's report from Axcelis Technologies (ACLS), which slightly beat expectations, and forecast Q3 revenue of $50 million to $55 million, about in line with consensus of $53 million:
In a bizarre twist of fate, it seems the companies that are currently losing money are the ones guiding up , such as ACLS, FORM and MTSN. Companies making money are generally guiding down. Don't ever try to think logically about this industry, you will be wrong. We try to remain counter intuitive in our thinking but sometimes the industry still surprises us.
Maire writes that he maintains "a positive bias" regarding Axcelis, "given what we see as upside n thr story."
The latest downgrade in the group comes today from Pacific Crest's Weston Twigg, who cut his rating from Outperform to Sector Perform on shares of FEI (FEIC), maker of scanning electron microscopes that can be used for wafer defect analysis, among other things, which last night missed Q2 revenue expectations and forecast this quarter well below consensus.
Twigg still expects a pay-off for FEI as companies buy its equipment to make 3-D NAND flash memory chips and so-called "FinFet" three-dimensional transistors. That could boost overall semiconductor demand for its wares by 15% next year. But at 20 times next year's EPS estimates, he thinks it's baked into the stock at this point.

John Altoon
In the course of his brief artistic career, John Altoon made an explosive impression on the Los Angeles art community of the 1950s and '60s, in part because of his volatile personality. Altoon was a member of the Ferus Gallery scene, alongside Robert Irwin, Ed Kienholz, and Ed Ruscha. He produced drawings, paintings, and prints of overt satires, personal nightmares, and improbable sexual situations. In fact, Altoon frequently used his dreams and fantasies as subjects, influenced by his encounter with Surrealism in his travels through Europe. His renderings had a misty or ghostly quality, which Altoon achieved by using an airbrush to apply color.

An academic & educational resource from the private collection of Martin Schøyen
840 manuscripts, more than 40 categories, topics and themes
The complete Bible Collection comprises more than 400 manuscripts including the earliest known texts of particular sections of the Bible. Ninety are the earliest known texts of parts of the Hebrew Bible, and a further 86 are only preceded by the Dead Sea Scrolls. There are also Sumerian and Babylonian forerunners or parallels to the Bible. A selection of 43 from this collection are available online.
Thirty-five items spanning 24c BC to 19c AD from more than 1,200 manuscripts of historical importance are presented online, including the Tower of Babel Stele, the earliest non-Biblical reference to this structure. The manuscripts complement those in other categories.
The 37 manuscripts in this category are among some 630 in the Schøyen Collection. From the oldest joke (the Sumerians were a wry lot!) and the Epic of Gilgamesh, the start of world literature, to Ibsen, with Heloise and Abelard and Shakespeare in between.
The study of the various types of old scripts and their development geographically and over time is a vast field, and so is this collection of more than 2,000 examples covering Western scripts of Europe, the Near East and the Americas. It starts with the earliest scripts (3300 BC) and alphabets (1700 BC). The rest of the world is represented elsewhere in the special collections. The 165 manuscripts in this section are also supplemented by the 33 examples in the Music special collection.
Comprising 19 categories, the special collections have some of the most important items in the Schøyen Collection. The manuscripts presented here include fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. But even these are pre-dated by some of the signed cuneiform tablets from 26c BC in the Magical Collection. There are manuscripts on Law, Mathematics, Music, Bindings, Pre-Gutenberg printing and Extinct and Living Religions, and much more of cultural and historical importance.
Architecture, children's literature, maps, medical texts, ships and shipbuilding, slavery, wine and beer, and women authors are some of the categories in this section of our online resource.

I know that if the rest of the nation is like me, they are happy the election is over. What I wish is that the rest of this great nation, which I proudly fought for in Vietnam, would accept the will of their fellow citizens and unite as one country.
My opinion is that on the first day after the election is certified, all the Rs and Ds following our representatives names, would be replaced with an A for American, and quit working to defeat the other guy. What they need to do is work together to strengthen our nation and our economy.
As an American soldier, I would have risked my life to defend my commander in chief, no matter if I voted for him or not, or agreed with all of his decisions, and I still feel that way. This is the only way we will ever return to being the most powerful country in the world. I would still take a bullet for my president, no matter what party he belongs to.

WFKitty necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 499 diseños de 113 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.WFKitty.com - Company name: Warm & Fuzzy Kitty
We increased the prize to over $1000 because our logo concept changed a bit, and we encourage everyone to rethink.
** If we love the logo there is a possibility that we will need the designer's services in the future for follow on projects.**
**Show us versatility of your character, we want to use the designer for future projects this may sway us**
We started our little company in 2007. We decided from the beginning that the core of our company was going to be customer service. We believe that is why we have grown fast and furious over the last couple of years. My husband was a highly decorated officer in the Marine Corps, he left his job in May to pursue our dream and run the business.
Our little company is going big in a few months. Our little logo is not cutting the mustard for branding ourselves. We have our life savings invested in this company and now we are being informed we need an "image" that can be used for our core business and merchandising. OK, we need a miracle!
Our "concept" is to create a"theme park like" vacation experience for cats only. PLEASE visit our website at http://www.WFKitty.com, it will give you the feel of what and who we are, read the testimonials see how the customers feel about their experience.
In the new building we will only be bigger and better. We will have up to 20 different themed suites for the cats. It's a Warm & Fuzzy Experience. We currently use "Hello Kitty" merchandise in our suites and cages, we need our own kitty, don't you think? We are also starting a Warm & Fuzzy TWITTER cat personality, keep an eye on WFKitty on twitter to see the personality emerge.
Our customers are mostly female and men that are in touch with their feminine side. The one thing they all have in common is their cats ARE THEIR BABIES! They are not your everyday cat owner, they are young couples that have no children, they are older couples that are in "empty nest" phase. They are young successful professionals that treat their cat like a family member.
From a merchandising perspective, we plan to target little girls and woman who have not lost the little girl inside of them that love Warm & Fuzzy stuff. ie... T-shirts, sneakers, stuffed animals, baby blankets, sweat pants etc...
Our colors are light pastels, purple and pink and white ... do not go by the colors on our website, we will be changing that.
We want a very original design.
The cat should be in pajamas and be on her way to an overnight stay at Warm & Fuzzy. She is carrying a teddy bear or a doll or a suitcase or something.
Option #1 A young teenage, hip, modern, beautiful FEMALE cat that wears modern cool clothes (NOT SEXUAL LOOKING) who will be going on vacation adventures, she is the popular cat in school, she is up with the times and fun. Her name is Kitty. Young teenage girls LOVE her and wear her on their T-shirts, Sweatpants and PJ's. Think a teenage Paris Hilton Cat meets Lola Bunny Cat - not sexual. PLEASE DO NOT COPY LOLA BUNNY. Keep her soft and lovely, not humanized.
Option #2 A female cat that could wear different vacation adventure outfits. Her name is Fuzzy. Little girls must LOVE HER, she is fun, lovable, cute cute cute, and full of personality! She is sweet and kind but loves going on vacation adventures and is very feminine!
Remember with either option for the logo she is on her way to Warm & Fuzzy for an overnight stay! she might be carrying a blanket, or a teddy bear, or a doll, or a suitcase. She is certainly wearing pajamas.
We also want our business name (Warm & Fuzzy Kitty) with the logo BUT must be able to detach the words from the cat.
Again, please go to our website, read our testimonials, get a feel for our business.
HINT: Show us the versatility of that cat in different positions and outfits. We desire an artist that we can work with in the future that can handle future projects with that character.
Thank you in advance for all of your creativity and hard work!
Scott & Jeannie

Splendor, a sexy, stylish, and giddy romp about a white-bread beauty and her bevy of beaus, is designed to charm you while splattering romantic idealism in your face. Veronica is a picket-fence-pretty actress searching for a good man in Los Angeles.
While slam-dancing at a Halloween rave, she meets Abel, a sensitive poet who moves her soul deeper than anyone before. Ten minutes later, she locks eyes with Zed, a supersexy, tattooed drummer with incredible biceps. Veronica faces a dilemma: Should she choose love or sex appeal? Whatever--this is LA--she chooses both!
But after Abel, Zed, and Veronica form a picture-perfect threesome, along comes Ernest, a handsome movie director with a set of baby blues and a bank account that sweep her off her feet. Now what is a girl to do? With a kick-ass sound track and Generation Extreme art direction, Araki gives a campy twist to the one girl-two guys routine.
His rebellious sensibilities are all over this romance as he playfully perverts the hetero ideals of the nuclear family and fantasies of knights in shining armor. Defying the rules of physics and convention, Veronica and her boys find happiness on their own resplendently shallow terms.

Implant-Supported DenturesFor an appointment call our office today at 708-479-9797 or Make an Appointment
Implant-Supported Dentures
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture (a removable partial denture or a complete denture that covers and rests on one or more remaining natural teeth, the roots of natural teeth, and/or dental implants) that is supported by, and attached to, implants. A regular denture rests on the gums and is not supported by implants.
An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn't have teeth in the jaw but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants. They hold the denture securely in place by anchoring them to the jawbone. These dentures can either be removable or fixed, depending on the patient's preference and need.
Some of the benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
- No slipping
- No need for denture adhesive
- Minimal discomfort
- No palate on an upper denture, which improves eating
- Improved ability to chew and speak
To find out if you are a candidate for implant-supported dentures, call today at 708-479-9797 and schedule a consultation.

This is the Pagani Zonda 760RS. It's the most powerful version of the 13-year-old Zonda and it sells for $2.6 million, twice the price of Pagani's new car, the Huayra. So yes, it's a bit special. You can guess what the 760 stands for.
Behind the wheel is Evo's editorial director Harry Metcalfe, who happens to own a Zonda, although not a 760RS. Metcalfe is talking into a small handheld camera. Metcalfe, despite being a Zonda owner, is like a kid in a candy store.
At one point, he describes how this $2.6 million car belongs to a guy in South America who'd lent it to Evo for a spin before having it shipped to his home. Metcalfe then says, "I can't go too crazy in this car." You may think you can guess what happens then, but you can't. Hint: He goes too crazy. Yes, you will need speakers.
Thank you, South American Mystery Man, thank you, Mr. Metcalfe.
