2 March 2012 at 5.56pm | Comment on this article
The 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Georg Solti, one of the 20th century's most important and influential conductors, is to be celebrated worldwide in 2012/13 with a number of events, broadcasts and recordings.
Solti @ 100 will feature two centrepiece concerts in October, the month of Solti's birth: New York on 19 October and Chicago on 21 October. A number of special commemorative exhibitions will also open that month at venues including the Royal Opera House; Symphony Center, Chicago; Musikverein, Vienna; Carnegie Hall, New York and the Barbican, London.
An exhibition, focusing on the conductor's career will run from October 2012 at the Royal Opera House.
Sir Georg Solti was born in Budapest in 1912 before studying at Liszt Academy in Budapest. He began work as a repetiteur at Hungarian State Opera, making his conducting debut in a production of Le nozze di Figaro in 1938. After moving to Switzerland during the war, he became Director of Bavarian State Opera in 1946. His profile grew and he conducted Der Rosenkavalier on the occasion of Strauss's 85th birthday and subsequently at the composer's funeral in 1949. His British debut came in 1954 at Glyndebourne, followed by his Royal Opera debut in 1959 with Der Rosenkavalier. In 1961 Solti became Musical Director of the Royal Opera, a post he held for ten years. He was awarded an honorary CBE in 1968 and won awards for his performances and recordings with Decca throughout his career. His final performance at the Royal Opera House before his death in 1997 was at the Farewell gala on 14 July of the same year. He conducted 'Tutto nel mondo è burla' from Verdi's Falstaff.
In January 2012, Solti's performance of Der Ring des Nibelungen with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was named the greatest recording of all time by BBC Music Magazine.

Not to worry (much): the staff are being offered jobs at Rockstar's other Canadian studio in Toronto, which is expanding thanks to the help of regional government support. Full press release here. [Note: This story originally pegged the Vancouver team as the lead studio on Max Payne 3, but the 35-person team was actually one of many Rockstar groups who did significant work on the game, the company tells Kotaku.]

Any fans of The Amazing Atheist out there?
joel farris has not received any gifts yet
Hi Joel, and welcome to this rational world of Internet atheism---a haven from the superstitions and fictional god of the masses.
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 475 discussion topics and 2700 members.
Terence Meaden
Welcome, joel! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. I don't recommend hurling insults at people who believe stupid things. It doesn't help them to gain insight, only makes them defensive and less able to hear reason. Everybody, during their lifetime, has believed stupid things sometimes. Human beings make mistakes. Let's give ourselves permission to learn from them instead of putting ourselves down. You get more deconversion by treating opponents with respect.

Having a sense of belonging is an inherent, God given desire to be a part of something greater than ourselves.
Without this sense of belonging we can feel insecure, unloved and unappreciated. This can then have an impact on the life choices we make and also the path that we follow.
When we know where we belong and who we belong to, it provides us with a sense of security and gives us confidence to know we are accepted.
When we are secure in knowing where we belong we are able to trust God and walk forward into the calling that God has for our lives.
Father to the fatherless
It is important to God that you know who you belong to. You may have suffered rejection from your earthly father but Psalm 68:5 tells us that God is the Father to the fatherless and the defender of widows.
It goes on to say that God places the lonely in families. What a beautiful picture of a loving God that reaches out to the lost and lonely and adopts them as His very own.
There's a place at the table
You may have suffered rejection at the hands of people but know this, God will never ever reject you and has saved a place at the table, just for you.
No matter how insecure you feel or how much of an outsider you may think you are; there is a place for you at the table in God's Kingdom.
You have an important part to play and God wants to use your God-given talents for His glory.
When you know you belong to God your self-worth is rooted in Him and your confidence and strength is found in Him.
You cannot fail when you belong to God because He provides you with everything you could ever need to live a life of love and purpose.
Belonging to God means you are valuable and precious to Him. God has no favourites. There is a place for you & an opportunity to 'become' what God has called you to be.
Every blessing to you,

baperrou necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 141 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
I'm looking for a eye catching and fashion conscience logo, but simple. It is to be printed on the clothing of a new brand called 40 Love.
40 Love (in association with http://www.atthenet.co.uk)
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
simple yet trendy elegant.
Accepted File Formats:
Although the clothing will be marketed to tennis players (hence the 40 love) it should not scream tennis. I want it to appeal to every female fashionista. It needs to be simple and in one colour so printing it small onto a polo shirt collar looks good but looks equally good as a large print on the front of a t-shirt. My initial idea is to use a heart with the number 40 in it and possibly forty love written below the design. I am also toying with the idea of incorporating the website http://www.atthenet.co.uk into the design, but I can't think how it might work. If you have any ideas great. This will strictly women's and girl's clothing so keep it on the girly/womanly side. The colour is not important but I would like the design to look good printed in black, pink, baby blue, and other fashion colours to compliment the clothing.

A number of St. Bonaventure University organizations have joined forces to promote and sponsor a series of events this fall for service veterans, beginning Sunday in Buffalo.
"It is essential that the needs of, and services for, this population are addressed as they have represented and served our country," said Dr. Barbara Trolley, chair of the university's Disability Committee. "While not every veteran or person on active duty will experience a major disability, at the very least the demands of such service as it relates to educational endeavors and family life should be recognized and supported."
Campus sponsors for the semester-long series of events include the Disability Committee, Teacher and Learning Center, Disability Support Services, Center for Student Wellness, Student Affairs, Safety and Security, Center for Activities, Recreation and Leadership, Franciscan Center for Social Concern, Damietta Center, and SBU's Army ROTC unit.
For questions regarding any of the events, contact Trolley at email@example.com.
The events include:
Sunday, Oct. 20 • 10 a.m. First Niagara Center, Buffalo Gold & Blue Star Military Family Tribute Walk
Sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the Buffalo Sabres, the walk is designed to raise funds for the Veterans Memorial to honor those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. To register for the walk, click here. A $30 registration fee is requested. University community members walking are asked to wear Bona apparel.
October 25 • 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Hickey Dining Hall Veterans Information Table
A plethora of information for service personnel and their families will be available. Army ROTC representatives will be present.
November 11 • 11:50 a.m. Steps of Reilly Center (reception in RC Hall of Fame after) Veterans Day Ceremony

This pen was among the swag given out by the folks at BYD Auto. While we have no plans to eat this pen, we are nonetheless curious: Think there's any lead in it?
Yeah, it's a cheap joke on our part. But then again, we aren't the one painting toys with lead or putting melamine in baby formula. Please hurry and let us know if the pen will kill us; Didorosi's cowering in the corner and Matt is refusing to write anything else until we have an answer.

On raising a son on the autism spectrum, progressive politics, pop culture, and coffee addiction.
Monday, January 22, 2007
Horror where horror is due
The horror films on display at the Sundance Film Festival are nothing compared to every parent's fear that their child could be diagnosed with the mysterious developmental disability called autism.
The statement is so horrifying that I had to read it several times before I could fully grasp its meaning: Was the author really comparing our lives - our children - to a horror movie? Was she honestly asserting that our lives - our children - are "every parent's fear?"
Maybe this sentence blows me away because I've been working so hard to keep an open mind about the "new" Autism Every Day. Or maybe it blows me away because this time of year tends to be difficult for me anyway.
Either way, I'll say this:
Parents, don't waste your fear on autism.
If you must devote energy to fear, use it wisely: fear the death of your child.
I'm not being dramatic here. I know of what I speak. I have a child with autism. I have two children who died.
I will take autism every day.

Horrere is Latin for "to bristle in fear" as in the feeling when your hair stands on end---you're that terrified-----or horrified.
- January 22, 2007 6:42 PM
I hope you can feel my supportive thoughts surrounding you and Bud.
Needless to say, I agree with what you have written and you are a much stronger person than I because you were able to write it.

Thank you, Mike - though I don't think people come any stronger than you. And I hope you know that Katie was very much on my mind when I wrote this.
- January 22, 2007 7:14 PM
What a ridiculous article! You are right. THAT is truly horrible and horrifying. To speak of our beautiful, talent and special children that way! Challenging, yes. Sometimes sad or discouraging, maybe. But to compare our lives to a horror movie is disgusting. That comment is a heck of a lot worse than what some of the moms in the actual film had to say. How dare they!
My thoughts are with you and your family at this tough time of year.

Having just lost one of my own 'babies' (one who was, arguably, disabled due to PTSD), I have to concur - I don't see how it is better to have no child or a dead child than a disabled or otherwise damaged child.
- January 22, 2007 7:39 PM
that just makes me mad. my brother is taking a film class where he gets to go to a bunch of sundance films - i don't know if he's seeing that one or not.
i think i hope not.
- January 22, 2007 7:51 PM
- Jessica said...
I agree, that statement is horrifying. Your comment about parents wasting their time worring about autism is powerful and true. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
- January 22, 2007 8:18 PM
- Christine said...
MOM-NOS, that was just beautiful. I'm so thankful that blogs like yours provide an alternate voice. It is so important!
- January 22, 2007 9:27 PM
- KAL said...
I am so sorry January is tough for you, I didn't know. I have a lot of "stealth grief" at different times of the year too and the best thing, I think, is to write about it.
I don't fear autism as much as I'm not "speaking to it" right now...
- January 23, 2007 1:08 AM
- gretchen said...
Love you MOM-NOS. Keep on speaking the truth!
- January 23, 2007 10:15 AM
I think that, as humans, we have a hard time imagining a situation different than our own, and we react with fear. How horrible would it be to have a child with ___ problem, how horrible it must be to suffer from ___ disease or condition, etc. I really don't believe these comments are meant to belittle or judge the quality of the lives of those people who actually have the "horrifying" condition or situation - they just reveal the person's ignorance. We parents of ASD kids need to be a stronger, counter-active voice, telling the world how wonderful our kids are. (Of course, it is pretty tough to raise money for autism research without scare-tactics, right?) Thanks, MOM-NOS, for being one of those positive voices.

Open enrollment offers opportunity to review, adjust benefits for 2013
The University's open enrollment period—the annual opportunity for faculty and staff to review and modify their current benefits plans for the coming calendar year—will begin Monday, Nov. 5 and conclude Tuesday, Nov. 20.
Help selecting the optimal plan
The Office of Human Resources offers a variety of online and personal tools to help employees evaluate their current plans and make knowledgeable decisions when it comes to health and benefits options:
During 2013 open enrollment, benefits-eligible employees may change their University health care or dental plan coverage to a different plan and/or administrator; elect health, dental and long-term disability coverage if not currently enrolled; adjust or add life insurance coverage and beneficiaries; and elect new contributions to a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA)—the federal government requires participating employees to make an annual election for either account, even if an employee had an FSA or HSA for 2012.
All employees enrolled in a health or dental plan are required annually during open enrollment to certify that each dependent on the plan meets the University's Health Program eligibility requirements.
Open enrollment is conducted online through the HRMS website (www.rochester.edu/people) with a NetID, or over the phone with ASK-URHR. Informational materials on open enrollment are also mailed to homes.
With a few important plan and coverage changes taking effect in calendar year 2013, open enrollment is the best time for employees to closely evaluate all of the available options and choose the plans best suited to them with regard to health care needs and cost.
2013 Health Care Premiums
The University offers four self-insured health care plans and two dental plans with the benefit of premiums below market rates. With many local private health care plans expected to see a double-digit percent increase in premiums, the 2013 University rate increase will be 7.9 percent for both the employee and University contributions (the University pays on average 80 percent of the premium, and employees, 20 percent).
The University's four health plans all include high quality preventive care, with different cost structures tailored to match the individual health needs of faculty and staff. The University does not prefer or suggest that employees select one plan over another; the University's costs are consistent for each plan.
New Coverage Changes and Options for 2013
There are several benefits and coverage changes, as well as incentives, within this year's open enrollment period that make it important for employees to carefully review their current coverage:
- University Health Care Plan Design Changes. Each of the University's health care plans bring some plan design changes for 2013. Of special note, the University's copay plan will have a hybrid plan design for 2013, with the introduction of a deductible, coinsurance, and an out-of-pocket maximum for all in-patient, out-patient, and emergency services. Copays will continue to apply to PCP and specialist office visits. Take the time to carefully review the open enrollment materials being mailed to your home, especially the 2013 Plans-At-a-Glance Chart that describes and compares each of the plans. You are also encourage to attend one of the open enrollment informational sessions (and get answers, one-on-one), and to attend one of the health care plan comparison presentations.
- Group Life Insurance Plan Enrollment/Change Options: Employees may enroll in or elect an additional one multiple of salary of group universal life (GUL) or group optional term life (GOTL) insurance, if eligible, up to six times annual salary or $1,000,000 without proof of good health. Employees currently enrolled in optional coverage also have the option to transfer the current amount of GUL to GOTL, or vice versa.
- Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan Enrollment/Change Options: Certain eligible faculty and staff members will be able to elect coverage or increase the current LTD coverage without completing a medical certification. Eligible faculty and staff members will be able to elect coverage or increase their current coverage to a maximum covered annual salary of $300,000.
- Expanded Dependent Eligibility Benefit: Effective Jan. 1, 2013, employees enrolled in any of the University's health care and dental plans may add eligible dependents up to the age of 26, regardless of the dependent's access to outside coverage (i.e. insurance through their own employer, spouse, etc.).
- Changes to FSA and HSA Contributions: Under the federal Affordable Care Act, the maximum annual contribution to a health care flexible spending account (FSA) and limited purpose health care FSA will now be $2,500, down from the previous cap of $6,500. The 2013 contribution limit for the University's health savings account (HSA) has increased to $3,250 and $6,450, respectively, for single and family coverage.

Name and logo unveiled for Christer Fuglesang's mission to the ISS
ESA has chosen 'Alissé' as the name of ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang's mission to the International Space Station. The name was proposed in response to a competition launched by ESA's Directorate of Human Spaceflight in June.
Fuglesang will be a Mission Specialist on the STS-128 flight to the International Space Station (ISS), scheduled for launch with Space Shuttle Discovery at the end of August. This will be Fuglesang's second flight following his 13-day Celsius mission to the ISS with STS-116 in December 2006.
Fuglesang will take part in the second and third spacewalks of the mission. His tasks include running vital cabling to prepare the ISS for the arrival of Node-3, a European-built ISS connecting module, and removal of an empty ammonia tank assembly. During the first spacewalk, ESA's European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF) will be retrieved from outside the European Columbus laboratory following 18 months of scientific activities. EuTEF will return to Earth with Fuglesang on the STS-128 flight.
Fuglesang will also coordinate cargo transfer to and from the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), an Italian-developed cargo module that will be transported to the ISS in the Shuttle's payload bay. The MPLM cargo includes the European-developed MELFI freezer unit, ESA's Material Science Laboratory, for carrying out a variety of materials research, and additional scientific equipment and supplies for the ISS and its crew.
At the Station, the MPLM will be transferred by robotic arm from the Shuttle and attached to the ISS, giving the crew access for unloading. In addition to his tasks as a Mission Specialist, Fuglesang will conduct a number of scientific experiments and educational activities.
On his arrival at the Station, Fuglesang will meet up with ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, who is already part of the resident ISS Expedition 20 crew. At the time of Fuglesang's arrival, the Station will be occupied by a six-strong crew that includes astronauts from four different space agencies: ESA, NASA, Roscosmos and the Canadian Space Agency.
Selected from around 190 suggestions, the winning name for Fuglesang's mission was proposed by Jürgen Modlich from Baierbrunn, Germany. The name refers to the 15th century explorers who used the trade winds to follow Christopher Columbus across the oceans to the New World. One of the most famous trade winds is the alizé (or alize), a steady north-easterly wind that blows across central Africa to the shores of America.
By changing the letters 'iz' to 'iss', the target of today's explorers is encompassed in the mission name: Alissé. In our new world, to reach Columbus (ESA's laboratory on the ISS), we must follow the wind up to the skies and meet people from other continents on the International Space Station.
Mission logo
The logo for the Alissé mission features the wing of a bird enclosing images of the ISS and Shuttle, either side of two sets of horizontal lines. The horizontal lines symbolise different aspects of the mission. The two sets represent the two spacewalks to be undertaken by Christer Fuglesang during the mission. The bird's wing adds to this symbolism of the spacewalks, as Fuglesang will seem to be flying around the ISS almost like a bird without the constraints of gravity.
The horizontal lines further evoke the wind through which the Shuttle flies in the logo to reach the ISS. The two sets of lines symbolise the Shuttle and ISS in their separate orbits as they close for docking. They also represent the two ESA astronauts on the Station during the mission.
The four individual lines also suggest the four space agencies of the astronauts on the Station during the mission. The bird's wing and the symbols it encompasses also suggest how a bird looks down on Earth, while floating on the alize wind, similar to how the astronauts will look down on Earth from space.
The left-hand part of the ESA logo suggests the Moon as a future step for the Agency's exploration goals, built on its current and past missions to the ISS. The mission name highlights the letters 'ISS' to suggest the mission's target.

Italian Dining Table with Glass Top and Metal Legs For Sale at 1stdibs
Without doubt that dining tables are the center of attraction in any dining room or a drawing cum dining room. It's not only the main furniture in the eating hall, but also the greatest in dimension too. So , a wrong choice of dining tables can make or mar the beauty of the eating hall, corner or space. Newlyweds on a tight budget do give a lot of consideration to this particular piece of furniture because primarily almost all of the waking hours are spent at such a table because of its multi-functional nature. At times, if someone is working from home, the same dining tables can do double duty in studio room apartments to serve as the office desk.Why don't not be so dark concerning talk of only tight budgets. For those more fortunate, the eating table is available in every possible size, elevation, shape, texture and materials that may catch one's fancy or suit the budget and the room for which the piece is meant. Family time - the most treasured product is mostly spent at the table. Hence, to overlook and undermine the importance when purchasing one, will actually turn the tables to your not only dining room, and home, but family life as well, so, no cheese sparing there if possible.
Thankfully the scale can be decided without much deliberation, since it hinges on the space available and the amount of regular family members and then the budget. The color and materials of which the dining tables are made of is determined by the general scheme and strength is an initial consideration in its material choice. Ease of maintenance is the 2nd most important consideration viewing that it's used most.

In more ways in one, there's quite an appetite for the inaugural Shrewsbury Street 5K on Columbus Day weekend.
We know early fall more often than not provides optimal running conditions, so competitors should be eager to enter such an event.
And remember, this is Shrewsbury Street, where culinary creations are an absolute delight. Race organizers are promoting this as "Compete and eat on Shrewsbury Street."
"This is not just a 5K, but we're trying to make this into a fun-filled event," said race director Jon Dooley, the director of operations at Greendale Physical Therapy, the main sponsor of the race. "We're encouraging people to stick around afterward."
After the race, participants and their families are encouraged to indulge at the eating establishments along "Restaurant Row." Greendale Physical Therapy has partnered with Foodies of New England to develop a download application for mobile devices that offers discounts and deals from participating restaurants on race day.
The app can be downloaded by texting "Foodies" to #72727, or by visiting www.ShrewsburySt.5k.com immediately after the race and scanning the image.
It will be quite the festive atmosphere two Sundays from today. Following the final finisher, the Columbus Day Parade kicks off. Shrewsbury Street's Octoberfest also will be in full swing.
The race starts at the corner of Shrewsbury and Adams streets, at the Vintage Grill parking lot, ventures to a turnaround at the former Piccadilly Pub, and finishes at Cristoforo Columbo Park (East Park). This is a spectators' course indeed — for those watching at East Park, they get to see the runners three times.
Organizers have put together what promises to be a quality event. And we know how a 5K road race can attract the athletes, especially after the Canal Diggers 5K drew more than 1,200 to the starting line two weeks ago in the Canal District.
"Shrewsbury Street seems such a natural for it," Dooley said. "We've gotten most of the logistics straightened away, working on getting everything right. Now we just want to make sure people are aware of the race."
As of early last week, 50 people had registered, but RaceWire, the timers of so many of the top races including this one, has indicated to Dooley that that number should multiply. Dooley would like to see as many as 500 for the first-time race, and there's no reason why that shouldn't happen.
For now, organizers would be happy with a turnout in that range, though they would love to see future Shrewsbury Street races attracting in the neighborhood of the Canal Diggers, which just had its eighth running.
"We're going to be working off (this year's event) for next year," Dooley said.
The entry fee is $30, $35 on race day. Proceeds will benefit the Shrewsbury Street Beautification Fund.
Race packet pickup will take place at Greendale Physical Therapy — Worcester, inside World Gym at the Greendale Mall, from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-6. The race goes off at 11 a.m. the following day.
For more information, visit www.shrewsburyst5k.com.
On the following Sunday, Oct. 14, there is the fifth Craig LeClaire/Rich Vacca Memorial Trail Race over a 5K layout through the wooded preserves of North Grafton.
The USATF-sanctioned course, which starts and finishes at the Grafton Community Harvest Farm (37 Wheeler Road), includes rolling hills through pines, wooded areas and meadows. A couple of those hills are steep, and there are areas of rugged terrain, though there are smoother paths as well.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Craig LeClaire/Rich Vacca Scholarship at Grafton High, Grafton Land Trust, and the Grafton Community Harvest Project. Also included is a 2-mile trail walk.
There will post-race refreshments at the finish at the Community Barn, where a silent auction of valuable items will be ongoing during and after the race. Live music is provided by Josh Briggs afterward.
The race starts at 10 a.m. with registration beginning at 8 at the Community Barn. The pre-race registration fee at active.com or graftonland.org is $20 before Oct. 10. Race-day registration is $25.
There is a $5 discount for Grafton Land Trust members and a special $50 rate for families of three or more.
For more information, contact Lori Muhr at (508) 839-0053 or email@example.com.

Taking steps to improve insulin sensitivity and the way the body uses carbohydrates can help reverse the damaging effects of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and now a new study has found that vitamin E supplements may reduce fatty deposits and inflammation in people with this disease as well.
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, included 247 people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. They were randomly assigned to receive 800 IU of vitamin E per day, 30 mg of a medication used to increase insulin sensitivity (pioglitazone) per day, or placebo for 96 weeks. They underwent liver biopsies at the beginning and end of the trial and were monitored for 24 weeks after the end of treatment. The findings were as follows:
Although the exact cause of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is not fully understood, insulin resistance and obesity clearly play a role. The primary finding of this study—"vitamin E was superior to placebo for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in adults without diabetes" —suggests that oxidative damage might also contribute to liver cell injury in people with this condition.
Taking steps to improve metabolism and to reduce cell damage caused by unstable compounds in the environment may be the best way to reverse nonalcoholic steatohepatitis:

Felger and Massarotti were joined by Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers to talk about Game 1, the technicals in last night's game, and how the Celtics are dealing with the injuries.
Is Doc as angry about last night's officiating as everyone else is? What did Doc do to get that technical last night? What led up to the technical call on Doc?
"Listen, the officiating's not why we lost the game. Obviously I had my issue and I can only say so much, but we have to play better as a team," Rivers said. "That's one of the things [officiating] we can't focus on."
Rivers did say that there was nothing else that precipitated his technical foul other than his saying, "Come on, Eddie" to referee Ed Malloy.
"I was surprised by it," Rivers said. "Let me just put it that way."
Rivers, though, doesn't see Monday night's officiating as a sign that there's any type of conspiracy at play.
"I did TV years ago and it's funny, every city I went into, those fans thought that there was a conspiracy," Rivers said. "Obviously, it's tough, it just is, so I try to stay away from the subject. But I don't think there is."
Regarding Ray Allen, is there more than just the ankle that is giving him problems? How tough is it for Doc to control Ray Allen's minutes?
"He just has to try to figure it out," Rivers said. "It's a tough one. It's as tough a decision you have because you're still waiting for one [shot] to go in. But if it doesn't go in, you have to make the choice, is he doing anything else? His spacing on the floor is terrific, he gives you that. But defensively he's struggling as well, so every game we have to make a choice right now with Ray. … I will say this — I think 38 minutes is too much for Ray right now. We have to do a better job of managing his minutes and his minutes in a row."
Rivers said he and the team haven't made any decision about possibly resting Allen for a game, adding that the trainers aren't even positive that a potential four-day rest would even help Allen heal.
How worried is Doc about the matchups against the Miami Heat? How healthy is Paul Pierce?
How comfortable are the Heat playing against the C's? How has LeBron James changed since last season?

More than 3,500 lottery winners in Michigan received public assistance last year or lived with people on welfare, food stamps, or other aid, a state agency reported Monday.
The count stems from a 2012 state law that required the state to match a list of lottery winners of $1,000 or more with recipients of public assistance. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed the measure after legislators learned of two cases in which people used food stamps despite winning $700,000 and $850,000 lump sum prizes.
Though the law included a requirement for asset-based means testing to help determine eligibility for public assistance, the head of the state Department of Human Services said more than 2,000 lottery winners are continuing to receive public aid because certain benefits are not covered by the tests or because of other issues. Just 565 cases were closed as a result of the law, according to the report, which discussed a man who won $33,000 in the lottery but continues to get $1,000 a month in child care assistance for his three children.
"With the match system, we can now identify substantial winnings, but the loopholes that allow lottery winners to continue to collect various benefits need to be closed, through amending state and federal law and policy," DHS Director Maura Corrigan said in a statement.
About 14 percent of lottery winners are either welfare recipients or live in a household with recipients, according to the state. The 3,544 winners took home $6,800 on average, prompting some advocates for the poor to question the extent of the problem.
"We agree that big lottery winners should not be getting benefits designed to help people meet basic needs," said Judy Putnam, spokeswoman for the Michigan League for Public Policy. "But having said that, the cases that seem to be driving this—they're extremely unusual and rare. How much have we been spending to get to a few bad apples?"
DHS officials said they will seek changes in laws and policies so public assistance is ended for more lottery winners. Corrigan said a man recently won $125,000 in the lottery but his children living with him can keep getting $400 a month in food stamps if they say they buy and prepare their food separately.
Putnam countered that some legitimately needy people have been hurt by the state's move toward means testing assets instead of income to determine eligibility for public assistance. Unemployed workers once could use their savings to keep making house payments while receiving food stamps to try to get back on their feet, she said.
"It cast such a broad net that it did hurt people with legitimate needs," Putnam said of the law signed in April 2012.

Favorite Computer Techniques for Scrapbooking
After investing in a shiny new MacBook Pro last summer, it's now become my new best friend. I love being able to use it to enhance my scrapbooking! And, now that I am able to use Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, I am constantly finding myself learning lots of new techniques, too.
Carnivale by Kelly Purkey. Supplies Cardstock, buttons, stickers and pen: American Crafts; Patterned paper: Heidi Grace Designs (stripe, green) and October Afternoon (yellow); Rub-ons: Heidi Grace Designs; Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3; Digital frame: Made in France by Sande Krieger; Punch, circle cutter and adhesive: Fiskars; Font: Filosofia.
For my Carnivale layout, I used three of my favorite techniques in Photoshop that are quick and easy. Read on to learn more about these go-to computer techniques:
Adjust Photo Lighting with Color Curves
One of my favorite go-to techniques is editing my photos in Photoshop. Adjusting the curves of a photo is such a simple way to make a good photo even better. In this layout, my focal-point photo was a bit dark, because the photo was taken in a dimly lit restaurant. To lighten the photo, I opened the curves dialog box to adjust the highlights and shadows a bit.
To adjust curves using Photoshop Elements:
1. Go to Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Color Curves
2. Click on one of the styles at the left of the dialog box or click and hold on the sliders in the center of the screen to adjust your photo to your liking. Notice the adjustments taking place in the after portion of the screen.
3. Click on OK to apply the changes.
Place a Frame on a Photo
Adding a frame to my photo helps it stand out a bit more on my page (and also adds character to the photo). There are so many digital frames on the internet to choose from-go download a few!
To add a frame to a photo using Photoshop Elements:
1. Open your photo in Elements, and open your digital frame.
2. Click and drag your digital frame down to your photo in the project bin. The frame appears as a new layer in the layers palette.
3. To resize the frame to fit your photo, go to Edit > Transform (or press Ctrl+T) and drag the outer corner over your photo until the frame fits.
*These instructions also work using Photoshop Elements
Use Type in a Shape
The last computer technique I used on my Carnivale layout was using type in a shape. Applying type in different shapes (this is called typing on a path) is a fun way to add even more interest to my pages.
To type on a path using Photoshop Elements:
1. Download a text path from the web and open the file in Photoshop Elements.
2. Select the Horizontal Type tool and double click to select the text.
3. Type your text and print onto cardstock.
*In Adobe Photoshop, users can also create their own text paths. To create your own text path using Adobe Photoshop, follow these steps:
1. Select the Ellipse tool and click and drag on a new document to create your circular shape.
2. Select the Type on a Path tool (nested with the regular type tool) and click directly on the outline of the circle.
3. Type your text, and the text will follow the shape of the circle.
What are some of your favorite computer techniques? Leave a comment and let me know--I'm always looking for good ones!

The TV version of the 1985 play is full of searing, electrifying moments
The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's angry, urgent, hectoring play – first staged in 1985 and only now arriving as a film in an excellent production directed by Glee creator Ryan Murphy – has the strength of undiluted acid: It breaks down and eats away the insulation, built up over time, that allows us to place the onset of the AIDS crisis in history.
Even though it's now nearly 30 years old, The Normal Heart (premiering on HBO Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT) is not a period piece or a cautionary tale. You are not meant to watch it and think, "Well, this will be useful for the next time." It's a bulletin from the front lines, an in-the-moment, heart-stopping report about the terrifying progress of HIV/AIDS as it sweeps through and decimates Manhattan's gay population.
"Crisis," in retrospect, was an oddly restrained word for this plague. It suggests policy and control – precisely the things that were absent, according to Kramer, as the political, medical and even gay establishments failed to act with the necessary hard-headed urgency.
There isn't really much plot beyond the premise – a gay writer named Ned Weeks (Mark Ruffalo) tries to sound the alarm, both in the gay community and among officials, over the outbreak of a so-called gay cancer – but there isn't much plot in The Hurt Locker, either. It isn't necessary. The Normal Heart is polemical at heart. That's its strength.
Ned and just about everyone else erupts in violent arguments, denunciations, accusations, counteraccusations, diatribes – these are searing, electrifying moments, furiously articulate and delivered with escalating passion by a cast that includes Jim Parsons, Joe Mantello, Denis O'Hare, Matt Bomer, Alfred Molina and (as a doctor who quickly understands the extent and severity of the epidemic) Julia Roberts.
RELATED: See Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo in The Normal Heart Trailer
Mantello, in particular, is given what in theatrical terms is a monologue so big – an aria of frustration and fear that ends with a near-physical collapse – that it could play as pure histrionics on the average television screen. But Kramer's access to the emotions of that place and time are so direct and unfiltered that it works. It's a pummeling, but a good one.
The only such "big" moment that falters is Roberts' key scene, in which she's denied the research funding her patients so desperately need. Roberts can be a daring actress when it comes to showing us a peremptory surliness or hostility – I would say she handily outmaneuvered Meryl Streep in August: Osage County – but here she's allowed to seem proud of it.
That's the thing: The characters in The Normal Heart don't own their anger. It owns them or – Kramer makes no bones about this – it should. It must.

Systematic Investment Plans—Educate Yourself Before You Enlist
Investing money each month is a great way to build a nest egg—but not all monthly investment programs are created equal. For a specific type of systematic investment plan—sometimes referred to as a "contractual plan" or "periodic payment plan"—an investor must make a long-term commitment of 10 or 15 years.While the majority of these plans are sold to military personnel, they are also sold to civilians. These plans come with high upfront costs and are expensive if the full term of payment is not completed.
We are issuing this Alert to inform investors, especially those serving in our armed forces, of the costs and risks involved in such plans.The Alert is issued in conjunction with an Enforcement Action,in which sanctions were levied against a brokerage firm selling these plans to military personnel.
If you are approached about investing in the type of systematic investment plan described in this Alert, read the prospectus carefully.Clearly understand the costs and risks before you invest. Never feel compelled or pressured to invest.
Legislation Prohibits Future Sales of Systematic Investment Plans
On September 29, 2006 the President signed into law the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection Act, which made it unlawful to issue or sell any periodic payment plan 30 days after the signing date. The bill, however, does not invalidate plans sold prior to the enactment of the legislation.
What are Systematic Investment Plans?
This Alert focuses on systematic investment plans that are regulated as "periodic investment plans" under the federal securities laws. These plans allow you to accumulate shares of a mutual fund indirectly by making small regular monthly payments, usually as little as $50, over a period of 10, 15 or 25 years.Individual plans can differ from one another.But in general, there are a number of common characteristics that you should be aware of before investing:
- High first-year cost.You are required to pay a creation and sales charge equal to as much as 50 percent of the first 12 monthly investments.In other words, if you invest $100 per month for the first 12 months of the plan, $600 of your $1200 investment goes toward the creation and sales charge in such a plan. Moreover, if you increase the amount of your monthly payments, you may owe an additional creation and sales charge on the new investment.This charge will be deducted from your next 12 monthly payments.
- Long-term investment.Typically, systematic investment plans require 180 fixed monthly payments over a 15-year period, with the option of making payments for up to 25 years (300 investments). While you are not required to complete the plan, if you terminate the plan prior to expiration or stop making payments, you could pay a sales charge up to 50 percent of the amount invested, depending on how many payments you have made to the plan.For example, if you make 12 payments or less and hold the plan beyond the cancellation limit (described below) your sales charge could be as high as 50 percent of the amount invested.
- No direct mutual fund ownership.If you invest in a systematic investment plan, you do not directly own shares in a mutual fund. Instead, you own an interest in a trust.The trust invests your regular payments, minus fees and expenses, in shares of a mutual fund.
- Fees and expenses. Most plans have three types of fees:
- Creation and Sales Charge. As we've discussed, you are required to pay a creation and sales charge equal to as much as 50 percent of the first 12 monthly investments. After the first 12 monthly payments, some plans impose a reduced sales charge, but many plans do not impose any sales charge on the remaining payments under the term of the plan. If you complete the 15-year term, the sales charge can be effectively reduced to as little as 3.3 percent of all investments made, and may be effectively reduced further if you extend the term of the plan beyond 15 years. You may be able to reduce the creation and sales charge further if you increase the face amount of the plan and make larger monthly investments (usually $1,500 or more) or you can combine your plan investment with other plans that you or certain family members make through your plan sponsor. Even if these discounts are realized, the high creation and sales charge associated with your first 12 investments makes these plans expensive in the short-run.
- Mutual Fund Expenses. In addition to a creation and sales charge, you will indirectly pay annual mutual fund operating expenses for the mutual fund shares held by the plan trust, which can include management fees, 12b-1 fees (covering sales and distribution expenses), and other expenses.
- Custodial and Service Fees.Most plans charge various custodial and services fees. These fees may include a monthly plan investment processing fee, a termination fee, an inactive account fee, a bank wire fee, a bad check fee, and an IRA custodial fee (if you hold your plan as an IRA).
- Cancellation and Refund Rights. You can cancel your plan as follows:
- 45-Day Cancellation Right.You will receive a notice of your cancellation rights within 60 days after your first investment in the plan.You can cancel your plan within 45 days of the mailing date of that notice. If you choose to cancel your plan, you will receive a cash refund equal to (1) the current value of your investment and (2) the total sales and creation charge you paid. The current value of your shares may be more or less than your original investment.
- 18-Month Cancellation Right.You are also able cancel the plan within 18 months after your first investment in the plan. If you choose to cancel your plan after the 45-day cancellation period, you will receive a cash refund equal to (1) the current value of your investment and (2) the amount of the sales and creation charge you paid that exceeds 15 percent of the total investments you've made in the plan.You should receive a notice of your 18-month cancellation right if you miss (1) three or more of your monthly investment payments during the first 15 months of the plan or (2) one or more payments after the first 15 months.
If you cancel your plan after 18 months, you will not be entitled to a refund of any creation and sales charge.This charge can be up to 50 percent of your periodic investments.
- Missed Payments. The sponsor may terminate your plan if you fail to make investments for a period of 6 or 12 consecutive months. Depending on the plan, you may be able to avoid termination by making at least one monthly payment during each 6 or 12-month period.
You should read the individual prospectus associated with the plan you intend to purchase to understand the details regarding your specific purchase.
Beware of Misleading Claims
Wefound instances where the sales scripts and charts used to market systematic investment plans contained misleading statements and omissions about the following:
- the effectiveness of the 50 percent first-year sales load, claiming that this high upfront charge increased the likelihood that an investor would complete the plan, although the firm's data showed, for the sales made between 1980 and 1987, that only 43 percent of its customers completed 180 payments or more within 15 years;
- comparisons between the systematic plan and other mutual fund investments, including statements that no-load mutual funds were primarily for speculators and had some of the highest long-term costs; and,
- the availability of the Federal Government's Thrift Savings Plan ("TSP"), which offers military investors many of the same features of a systematic plan at lower costs.
See First Command Fined and Ordered to Pay $12 Million for Misleading Statements in Sales of Systematic Investment Plans to Military Personnel.
Dollar-Cost Averaging and Systematic Investment Plans
Systematic plans have been promoted as a way to dollar-cost average, a strategy of investing the same fixed dollar amount in the same investment at regular intervals over an extended period of time. When you dollar-cost average using the same amount each interval, you buy more shares of an investment when the share price is low and fewer shares when the share price is high, which can result in paying a lower average price per share. The dollar-cost averaging strategy doesn't try to time the market. Instead, it reduces the risk of investing a larger amount in an investment at an unfavorable time by spreading your investments out over a period of months, years, or even decades.
When using a systematic investment plan to dollar-cost invest, be aware:
- Systematic investment plans can be expensive over the short term. Because the creation and sales charge for a systematic investment plan can be as high as 50 percent of the plan's first 12 monthly payments, and remain at high levels if you terminate during the first 10 years, it can be more expensive than investing in other types of automatic investment programs. As the chart shows, the earlier you discontinue contributions to a systematic investment plan, the more expensive it is as a percentage of your total investment.
|Contributions Discontinued after:
|Systematic Investment Plan Creation and Sales Charge as a Percentage of Amount Invested
|12 payments
|18 payments
|24 payments
|60 payments
|120 payments
|180 payments
It is possible to find alternative dollar-cost averaging programs that cost significantly less in the short term.
- Systematic investment plans offer little flexibility. If you miss monthly payments, you may be terminated.Some plans also have restrictions associated with making investments ahead of schedule to complete a plan early. There are other automatic investment plan alternatives that do not require long-term fixed monthly payments, and most don't charge a fee for setting up or terminating your automatic investment program.
- Systematic investment plans offer limited investment choice.With a systematic investment plan, you have minimal opportunity to invest in anything other than the fund designated by the plan sponsor.By contrast, most retirement plans offer a cafeteria of investment options (the average 401(k) offers 15 different investment alternatives).And most mutual funds allow you to invest in other mutual funds that are part of the same fund family, enabling you to move out of a fund when the fund loses a manager, raises its expenses, or no longer fits the risk profile you seek.
Other Dollar-Cost Averaging Alternatives
When it comes to dollar-cost averaging, investors have options other than systematic investment plans. These alternatives tend to offer greater flexibility than systematic investment plans and generally do not charge a fee for setting up or terminating automated transfers of funds.
- Mutual funds provide vehicles for implementing the dollar-cost averaging strategy.Some funds waive initial deposits and allow investments of as little as $50 per month. Call around. Inform the mutual fund company of your desire to invest monthly and how much you feel capable of investing.
- If your goal is to save for retirement, most employer savings and retirement plans allow you to save through payroll deduction. Military personnel can make long-term periodic investments in the U.S. Thrift Savings Plan. This plan has no up-front load and low on-going expenses.For more information go to the Thrift Savings Planwebsite.
- If your objective is to save for college, 529 plans offer flexible minimum contribution limits. Many require a $250 initial contribution with subsequent monthly contributions of as little as $50. For more information seeSmart Saving For College brochure.
- A number of securities firms and investor organizations offer low-cost incremental investment plans that allow customers or members to invest in a variety of stocks, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. Some charge a percentage of each incremental investment, while others charge a flat fee per transaction.
- Some public companies offer direct stock purchasing plans (DSP) and dividend reinvestment programs (DRIPS) that allow investors to purchase shares or partial shares of stock on a monthly basis, as well as automatically reinvest stock dividends. You can find out more about DSPs and DRIPS on the Securities and Exchange Commission'swebsiteand by contacting a company's Investor Relations Department or visiting the Investor Relations area of the company's website.
Restitution Fund
Former First Command customers were eligible to receive restitution of a portion of sales loads they paid in the purchase of systematic investment plans.
Take Charge
Before you put money into a systematic investment plan, take charge of the decision-making process:
- Understand the investment. Rely on the prospectus, not on sales literature and presentation information alone to make your decision.
- Make sure the product meets your investment objectives and is suited to your financial situation, future goals and risk tolerance.
- Can you follow through with long-term monthly payments? Many people can't. If there's a chance you will terminate the plan or withdraw money from it in the short-term-10 years or less-a systematic investment plan may not be for you.
- Know how much you will pay in fees and expenses.Ask your broker whether you will pay a sales load, and how much you will pay in annual expenses.Use FINRA'sFund Analyzer to help you compare sales loads, fees, and other expenses.
- Understand the plan's cancellation policy and what it means to your investment.
- Research investment alternatives such as mutual funds and your employer's retirement plan.
- Investigate your broker and securities firm. Use FINRA BrokerCheck to check the background of your investment professional and firm.

Devon Brown, shown here accepting her award as 2013 Big South Women's Basketball Championship MVP, was named Richmond Times-Dispatch State Player of the Year on Tuesday.
Read complete Richmond Times-Dispatch article Liberty redshirt senior guard/forward Devon Brown has been tabbed the 2013 Richmond Times-Dispatch State Women's Basketball Player of the Year, as published in this morning's edition of the newspaper. She was joined on the first team all-state roster by fellow redshirt senior Tolu Omotola. Brown, who has been named to the Richmond Times-Dispatch All-State team after each of her four years at Liberty, is the Lady Flames' first State Player of the Year since 2009. That year, Megan Frazee won the second of her back-to-back Player of the Year honors. Brown adds this honor to an ever-growing list of postseason accolades, which also features her second Big South Championship MVP award and her fourth appearance on the first team All-Big South roster. Brown, a native of Waynesboro, Va., leads the Lady Flames in scoring (16.3 ppg), three-pointers made (46), free throw percentage (.839) and steals (1.8 spg). She is just 20 points away from becoming the second Liberty player ever to tally 2,000 career points. Omotola was included on the Richmond Times-Dispatch All-State roster for the first time, after earning first team All-Big South and Big South Championship all-tournament team accolades. She ranks No. 19 nationally for field goal percentage (.536), while averaging a career-best 13.3 ppg and a team-leading 7.6 rpg. Omotola, who has notched a team-high eight double-doubles in 2012-13, is 19 points shy of 1,000 during her three seasons with the Lady Flames. Liberty (27-6), seeded No. 13 in the Oklahoma City Regional of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship, will face No. 4 seed Purdue (24-8), Sunday at 12:10 p.m. The game will be played at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., and will be televised on ESPN2 and ESPN3 by the announcing team of Melissa Lee and Brooke Weisbrod.

Amazingly build into a cave, Predjama castle is one of the most visited castles in europe. Predjama castle and it's caves are situated about 12 km from Postojna, world famous for its extensive karst cave.
Castle was built-up into the ovehanging rock and vista to that combination of a nature and man work is really great. Walk throug the castle halls is an unique event. Very realistic man size dummies are presenting ancient life of the castle. There is also a museum collection and ancient armoury.
The cave behind the castle is called Erazmova Jama, after a knight living in the castle, and has 4 levels. The deepest level is water filled, the river flowing through is called Lovka. The castle is built into the huge entrance of the middle level.
An exit from the top level to the plateau was used as secret entrance in the middle ages, today it is filled with rocks. The story goes, that the castle was besieged, but the people in the castle had the secret entrance, and so they had enough to eat. They loughed on the besieger and threw down fresh fruit, to discourage them.

Brett Favre held a press conference today to officially announce he was returning to the Vikings for one more failed Super Bowl run. While he discussed the physical toll that the game has taken on him, it became clear: Brett's really old.
He talked so much about how his joints, shoulder, and arms were sore that we thought we were watching a Nolan Ryan Advil commercial. So we asked ourselves: What else it is that old people do? Aside from eat at five and watch CBS, they fart.
