Tofino Brewing Company (Brendan van Son photo)
British Columbia's breweries, cideries and distilleries are gaining a global reputation for making award-winning beer, tasty ciders, and premium sprits.
Medals from world beer championships adorn many local brews, while the Pemberton Distillery was awarded "Spirit of the Year" at the prestigious World Spirit Awards in Austria.
There are more than 100 breweries and brewpubs in BC, along with a growing number of cideries and small-batch distilleries. As the birthplace of the 100 Mile Diet dining movement, many British Columbians embrace locally brewed products, and brewpubs often pair craft beers with west coast cuisine.
Festivals such as Vancouver Craft Beer Week, the Okanagan Fest-of-Ale, the BC Beer Awards, the Great Canadian Beer Festival and Hopscotch (featuring premiere scotch, whiskey and beer) are great places to sample local specialties.

Vancouver Coast & Mountains: The Pemberton Distillery, Howe Sound Brewing in Squamish, Persephone Brewing on the Sunshine Coast and Four Winds Brewing in Delta.
Vancouver Island: Includes craft breweries in Tofino, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Cumberland and on Salt Spring Island, Merridale Cider, and vodka and gin made from botanicals grown on Hornby Island.
Kootenay Rockies: Columbia Brewing (Kokanee) in Creston and craft breweries in Rossland, Nelson, Fernie and Revelstoke.
Thompson Okanagan: Includes small batch ciders, fruit liqueurs from Okanagan Spirits, and beer from Bad Tattoo in Penticton, the Noble Pig Brewhouse in Kamloops, and Crannog Ales in Sorrento.
Northern British Columbia: The Wheelhouse Brewing Company in Prince Rupert, and the large, commercial Pacific West Brewing.
Vancouver: Includes an area of town with so many breweries it's called "The Brewery District", Artisan Sake, Long Table Distillery and many brewpubs.
Whistler: Includes Whistler Brewing and the Brewhouse at Whistler.
Victoria: Unofficially nicknamed "the Beer Capital of Canada." Home to many brewpubs and craft breweries, Sea Cider and Merridale Cider, and Victoria Spirits.
BC beers are a far cry from generic, watery lagers. Craft brewers offer bold and flavourful ales, stouts, bitters and porters, along with inventive creations: try huckleberry wheat ale in Fernie, kelp stout in Tofino in Kelowna or espresso stout in Victoria.
Most breweries offer tours and sampling, and a chance to meet the brewmaster.
While BC is famous for its superb wineries, its cideries can offer a similar experience: Sprawling orchards return abundant harvests of apples, which are used to craft a selection of artisan ciders. Cideries are found on Vancouver Island and in the Thompson Okanagan region.
Stay for lunch at a cidery restaurant with scenic views, or even partake in an orchard spa treatment.
Distilleries use BC's fruit and wild botanicals to create smooth, sipping vodka, gin, fruit liqueur and even absinthe. Visit Long Table Distillery, a Vancouver micro-distillery offering premium, small-batch gin and vodka. Pick up sake in Vancouver, fruit brandies at Okanagan Spirits in Vernon or Kelowna, organic vodka at the Pemberton Distillery, and small-batch gin in Victoria.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The cast and creator of the upcoming CW series "Reign," about the rise of Mary, Queen of Scots, are defending creative liberties taken for the show.
"Reign" stars Adelaide Kane as Mary, a 15-year-old who arrives at court because of an arranged marriage to Francis, the future king of France.
One issue: Francis is played by hunky actor Toby Regbo when in reality Francis was a sickly child.
And to keep things interesting, there's a love triangle where Mary is torn between her husband-to-be and another hunky character named Sebastian, who never existed.
Kane says the show's target demo of 18- to 34-year-olds won't care.
"How many teenage girls do you know that are obsessed with history? I know I wasn't at that age," Kane said Tuesday at the annual Television Critics Association press tour.
"It's also TV, so you can take creative license. It's entertainment, it's not the History channel," said Kane, adding that she did a lot of research to play Mary.
Torrance Coombs, who plays Sebastian, joked about his character not being real in history.
Executive Producer Laurie McCarthy said she uses Mary's story as a template for storytelling. "I actually feel liberated by the actual facts of her life."
"Reign" premieres in October.

The American Hockey League on Monday named Manchester Monarchs goaltender Martin Jones as its CCM/AHL Player of the Week.
Jones won three consecutive road starts last week, making 87 saves on 91 shots for a 1.27 GAA.
Jones stopped 25-of-27 shots and four-of-five shootout attempts in Manchester's 3-2 win over Portland. He made seven of his 24 saves during overtime to help the Monarchs to a 3-2 shootout victory at Providence. Jones closed the week with 38 saves for his 11th career shutout, a 3-0 decision in Bridgeport.

I have been experiencing issues with my DD (2nd baby and she is 8wks old) including greenish poops, sudden outbursts of painful crying, gas, never really settles down arms and legs are pretty much always moving and kicking, eats very frequently sometimes every hour in the morning or evening, projectile vomiting I believe due to OALD, HATES her car seat, and I could go on and on!
I never knew about OALD, OS, and also just read about the possibly of an imbalance of Foremilk and hindmilk all of which I believe I am experiencing. I have over 100 bags of frozen milk in my freezer so that shows how much I'm producing.... So I have spoken with a rep my area and they suggested block feeding which I have been doing since Monday but wanted to know how quickly would I possibly see a change In my daughter and if I will be able to nurse regularly again once we get our rhythm in sync?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Financials: Mar. Bonds are currently 10 lower at 143'22 and the 10 Yr. Notes 4 lower at 131'25. By the end of the week the June contract will be considered lead month, which is currently trading at a 1'16 discount to the Mar. contract at 142'06. For today, I'm still looking at the Mar. contract as a trading affair between 142'16 and 144'06. My bias remains long-term negative and I will look at a rally this week, if the market allows, to the 144'06 level on the JUNE contract as an opportunity to establish a short position.
Grains: MAY Corn is currently 2'4 lower at 681'6, MAY Beans fractionally lower at 1443'4, MAY Wheat 5'2 lower at 713'4 and DEC. Wheat 4'6 lower at 741'6. We continue to hold out-of-the-money call spreads in Dec. Wheat. I will be a buyer in May Corn in the 670'0-765'0 area and/or July Corn below the 655'0 level.
Silver: MAY Silver is currently $0.47 higher at $29.00 and Apr. Gold is $15.00 higher at $1,588.00. We remain long Silver having rolled Mar. contracts into the May contract. If you went long Gold last week, either take profits or raise your protective sell stop from the $1,550.00 level to the $1,582.00 area.
S&Ps: Mar. S&P's are currently 7.00 higher at 1521.00. We are taking a short position this morning with a protective buy stop above the contract high of 1530.00. The market is currently in short-term resistance with initial support at 1513.50 and below this level 1507.00.
Currencies: As of this writing the Mar. Euro is currently 123 higher at 1.3304, the Swiss 61 higher at 1.0810, the Yen 64 lower at 1.0643 and the Pound 121 lower at 1.5115. We have been stopped out of any remaining short Euro positions when the Euro first traded above the 1.3280 level.

HE COULD have had us at "Hello" ... but that was 10 days ago.
Rafael Palmeiro could have stood up on the day he was suspended and made a clean breast of it - either that or delivered some kind of explanation that passed the smell test and put to rest some of the nagging questions that continue to cast a cloud over his great career.
If he had done so, instead of hiding behind that bogus confidentiality pledge that blew up in his face the next day, a huge mass of national media might not have been pressed around him yesterday straining to hear the few noncommittal words he delivered upon his return to the Orioles' active roster.
It would not have been over, but Palmeiro would be much closer to the day when he could set about the daunting task of rebuilding his reputation. His return still would have made headlines, but the drama would have dissipated to the point where he might have been able to slip back into the Orioles' lineup with relatively little fanfare one way or the other.
Who knows, if he had come off as a stand-up guy, he might have gotten a standing "O."
Instead, he continues to bleed. He faced the cameras yesterday but not the music, which will stop only after he admits that he did wrong or comes up with an alibi so compelling that it overrides all of the skepticism that he and agent Arn Tellem have accumulated since the beginning of this sorry episode.
Maybe that's still possible, though believing that Palmeiro is completely innocent at this point requires a leap of faith so great that it would qualify you for the finals in several events at the X Games.
He wants you to accept that there is more to the story and that it will come to light as soon as Congress completes its perjury investigation, but it seems just as likely that he and his handlers are buying time and hoping that there is enough reasonable doubt still available at that point to make a last-ditch play for some small measure of exoneration.
It might have gone down that way already if the House Committee on Government Reform were not in the picture. Palmeiro hinted in his Aug. 1 conference call that he had taken the offending substance unwittingly, only to have his story unravel a bit when somebody leaked the identity of the steroid (stanozolol), which - by most accounts - could not have been ingested accidentally.
Without those pesky Congressmen poking around, Palmeiro could simply have insisted that the leak was false and that the substance that showed up in his system was something that has been linked to supplement contamination.
And, guess what, there would have been nothing that Major League Baseball officials could do about it because they - unlike Palmeiro - really are bound by a confidentiality clause in the current steroid-testing agreement. It would have come down to who you wanted to believe, which probably would have been good enough to salvage Palmeiro's Hall of Fame credentials.
Now, it comes down to what happens in the halls of Congress, which could cut both ways for Palmeiro. Obviously, if the drug-testing information requested by the committee shows that this was not his first positive steroid test, he will be in deep, deep trouble. If there is no further incriminating evidence, however, it seems likely that Rep. Tom Davis and Co. will put the focus of the steroid inquiry back on baseball's much-maligned five-strikes-and-you're-out testing program.
In the meantime, all we're left with are the cries and whispers that come with a scandal that refuses to die.
The fans remain divided. There was a sign in the stands yesterday welcoming Palmeiro back from his suspension. There also was one that chastised him for not telling the whole truth. We didn't get a chance to see which opinion would carry the night because Raffy did not appear in the 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays or poke his head out of the dugout during the game.
There has been some sentiment that the Orioles should just give him the rest of his salary and send him home, but that isn't an option. He has paid the penalty prescribed for a first steroid offense in baseball's collective bargaining agreement. Releasing him would constitute a second level of punishment that would be overturned by an arbitrator faster than you can say Tony Phillips.
(When Phillips was caught in a drug sting some years ago, the Angels and the Walt Disney Co. tried to get rid of him by ordering him into drug rehab. Even though they were willing to pay the remainder of his salary, the players union and MLB filed a joint grievance charging that the Angels had superceded baseball's drug policy and an arbitrator forced the team to put him back on the active roster.)
Palmeiro isn't going anywhere. He wants to finish the season and maybe play one more year and insert as much baseball as possible in between his darkest day and an uncertain future, but those nagging questions will not go away.
He could have done something about that 10 days ago. Now it may be too late.

Woman killed in Randolph County collision; man charged
Woman killed in Randolph County collision; man charged
A driver faces charges in a collision that killed a Randolph County woman Wednesday night.
Teresa Love Mabe, 55, of Randleman, was killed around 8:25 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 311 and Bowman Avenue near Randleman.
Mabe was ejected from her minivan and died at the scene. A dog in Mabe's vehicle also was killed.
Robert Clayton Myers Jr., 53, of Asheboro, was charged with driving while impaired by prescription medication. Other charges are pending, troopers said.
Myers was in a Chevrolet Tahoe that didn't stop at a stop sign, troopers said. The SUV hit Mabe's van, which ran off the road, hit a ditch and overturned.
Mabe was wearing a shoulder seat belt but not a lap seat belt, troopers said.
The crash is still under investigation.

When traveling, you need an international mobile phone that works on the GSM frequency bands used in the countries you are visiting. An international phone, often described as a global phone, travel mobile, travel phone, world phone or tri-band phone is simply a GSM phone that operates on three GSM frequency bands.
You need to ensure your international phone is unlocked. If your phone is locked to your current mobile provider, it will not work with any SIM card service from another provider.
Mobile phones from the US generally don't won't work outside of the US. US phones typically operate on the CDMA network whereas most countries outside the US operate on the GSM network. Even if your US mobile phone is a GSM phone, it may not work on the GSM frequency bands that are used outside the US.
The type of GSM phone (dual-band, tri-band or quad-band) you need for your trip depends on where are traveling to. For example, if you are traveling to Europe, a tri-band phone that operates on the 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz band is ideal.
|Dual band phone
|Works in
|850 and 1900 MHz
|North America only
|900 and 1800 MHz
|Europe and Asia Pacific
|Tri band phone
|Works in
|900, 1800 and 1900 MHz
|Europe, Asia Pacific, North America and Caribbean
|850, 1800 and 1900 MHz
|North America and Asia Pacific
|Quad band phone
|Works in
|850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz
|Works in all GSM countries except Japan and South Korea
ekit offers a range of dual-band, tri-band and quad band phones to suit any budget.
Dual band phones are the cheapest because they don't work in as many countries. We recommend you purchase a tri-band phone so you can use it at home when you have finished traveling.
ekit mobiles phones are unlocked and come with a charger, optional power adaptors for foreign countries and an English manual. Best of all, you don't need to sign any contracts. The phone is yours to keep forever.
After you purchase an international mobile phone, or if you already own a suitable phone, you will need to purchase a SIM card for service.
A SIM card is a postage stamp sized chip (the brain of the phone) that snaps into the back of your phone. Changing SIM cards is a very easy procedure and varies depending on your phone. The SIM cards provide the service and all the SIM cards we offer are prepaid.
Prepaid SIM cards may be purchased for a specific country where you receive a local phone number and benefit from local rates that nearly every time include free incoming calls! Or you can purchase a regional or global SIM card where you receive one number that works in multiple countries.
To view the selection of available SIM cards, click on SIM cards.

The folks in Oregon who want a vote of the people on labeling foods with genetically modified ingredients have it backwards, on three counts.
First, they say they may not have time to gather the 87,000 signatures needed to get the initiative on the fall ballot so they want the Legislature to put it there for them. Their efforts to save time and money are appreciated, but the whole reason for the initiative process is to circumvent the Legislature. Initiative pushers say the Legislature cannot be trusted to carry out the public's business and only a direct vote of the people will work, yet they want legislators to do their work.
We've previously noted on this page that the initiative process is deeply flawed because it takes a raw idea and asks the public to transform it directly into law. It is not vetted in any way, and does not receive the scrutiny of committee hearings, where it could be improved. We've seen time and again where initiatives on ideas, good and bad, have passed and become laws that are almost uniformly bad.
If the anti-GMO folks want an initiative they should leave the legislature out of it, collect the signatures and go from there.
Second, GMO labeling efforts are backwards. Instead of labeling the vast majority of foods that have GMO ingredients, they should label the foods that don't have GMOs in them. It would be far less costly, and provide those producers with a ready sales pitch for consumers who care about such things.
The USDA organic label is a successful and highly valued. It can be used because GMO seeds are not allowed in an organic operation. The Non GMO Project's verification label also tells consumers exactly what they want to know. Individual growers and manufacturers can obtain certification and market their products using it without the need for an initiative vote.
Grocery stores like Whole Foods Market have already gotten into the act. Since 2009, Whole Foods has put the Non GMO Project's verified label on 4,800 products it sells. By 2018, everything in Whole Foods stores will be labeled non-GMO, according to the company's website.
Whole Foods demonstrates that consumers who care can be fully informed of whether their food contains GMO ingredients without dragging the government into it.
Third, GMO labels would make food cost more in Oregon and reduce the selection. For those label proponents who say they stick up for the "little guy," pushing a proposal that will increase food prices is backwards. Many low-income people in Oregon struggle to put food on the table, yet this proposal would make food more expensive.
Oregonians have already voted against labeling GMOs once, 12 years ago. More recently, California and Washington voters have rejected the idea.
Maybe it's time for the anti-GMO folks to rethink their backwards strategy.

Representatives of nonprofit organizations in the central Ohio area can learn ways to reduce their energy use and how to apply for a $2,500 grant during a workshop scheduled for Thursday, July 25.
Representatives of nonprofit organizations in the central Ohio area can learn ways to reduce their energy use and how to apply for a $2,500 grant during a workshop scheduled for Thursday, July 25.
The "Reduce Your Use for Good" gathering, which is being hosted by Direct Energy and ThisWeek Community News, will take place in the Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland council headquarters, 1700 Watermark Drive.
Registration, breakfast and networking will take place from 8:30 to 9 a.m. followed by a panel discussion and question-and-answer session from 9 to 10:15 a.m.
The panelists will be Karen Ferris, founder of Big Green Head, and Erin Miller, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman's environmental steward.
Officials with Direct Energy, part of a Houston-based supplier of electricity, natural gas and related services, will take over from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m.to discuss how the agencies can apply for the Reduce Your Use for Good grant program.
ThisWeek Community News is serving as the media partner for the workshop.
Direct Energy has pledged $100,000 to be given out in grants of $2,500 to nonprofit organizations to help fund ways to reduce energy use in the workplace, according to Andrea Romo, an external relations specialist in the Pittsburgh office of Direct Energy.
"We harness our expertise in energy to make a difference in people's lives," Romo said last week. "That's kind of our mission and motto."
A similar workshop was held recently for nonprofit organizations in the Pittsburgh area, Romo said.
"It was very successful, not only from a media standpoint, but also based on participation," she said.
The goal of these gatherings, she added, is to give nonprofit agency representatives information about being more energy-efficient and other "greening practices," as well as a way of obtaining $2,500 to help do so.
Agencies and organizations need to submit a short video in order to be eligible for a Reduce Your Use for Good grant.
Production values are not part of the judging process, Romo indicated.
"They can pull out a flip-cam and do it," she said.
A panel of judges at the Houston headquarters of the company, which operates in 46 states, the District of Columbia and 10 Canadian provinces, reviews the submissions.
Grants are awarded based on "likes" the firm receives on its Facebook page from people who have viewed the videos on the Facebook pages of nonprofits.
To date, Romo wrote in an email last week, Direct Energy has given out $25,000 of the total $100,000 pledged and has enough "likes" from applicants to offer 17 more.
"Once you apply, it's always eligible until you receive a grant," Romo said.
More detailed contest rules are available online at http://www.reduceyouruseforgood.com/.

Actor George Takei (aka "the guy who played Sulu from Star Trek") has spoken critically of Hollywood's penchant for taking Asian film, manga and anime and recasting everyone with white actors, citing the upcoming and thoroughly purified Akira as a particularly egregious example.
He was recently interviewed about the adaptation, which transposes Akira from Neo-Tokyo to "New Manhattan," features a cast of handsome white men in place of the 2D yellow dwarves of the original, and according to supposed leaks takes radical liberties with the script:
Were you surprised to find out Warner Bros. is courting white leading men for roles in the adaptation of Akira?
It's an old Hollywood tradition that we've always been battling, not just Hollywood but Broadway too, if you remember Miss Saigon and the furor over that.
So, no, I really wasn't surprised, but the audience has changed now, and I'm surprised Warner Bros. is not keeping up with the audience.
The manga and anime phenomenon is mostly white in this country. It originated in Japan, and, of course, it has a huge Asian fan following.
But it's the multi-ethnic Americans who are fans of Akira and manga. The idea of buying the rights to do that and in fact change it seems rather pointless.
If they're going to do that, why don't they do something original, because what they do is offend Asians, number 1; number 2, they offend the fans.
The same thing happened with M. Night Shyamalan. He cast his project [The Last Airbender] with non-Asians and it's an Asian story, and the film flopped.
I should think that they would learn from that, but I guess big studios go by rote, and the tradition in Hollywood has always been to buy a project, change it completely and flop with it.
I think it's pointless, so I thought I would save Warner Bros. a bit of failure by warning them of what will most likely happen if they continue in that vein.
What would you ideally like to see happen with the Akira adaptation?
Well, ideally, they should do it properly and get Asian-American actors cast in those roles.
In the adaptation they would of course be speaking in English and understandable to a popular American audience. That's the whole point. They bought a project that is popular and enormously loved by its fans, and if they want the fan following to support the film, that's the way you do it.
Of course, from the perspective of actual Asians (most of whom hate each other) rather than the happily undifferentiated "Asian" Americans, the prospect of seeing a bunch of Chinese and Korean actors play faux-Japanese in a Hollywood production may be even less appealing than seeing a bunch of big-name Caucasian actors in any case…

Week 5 DFS Love List
Well, Week 4 is in the books and I learned a lot about DFS this week. What's nice is that I still won a few bucks in the process. I am still keeping my bets small, but I have upped the stakes a bit. I also REALLY limited my long-odds formats. It's just so unlikely to win them, even when you have a good week, that I won't spend more than $1 for these formats any longer. I did do well in two out of three $25k Quarter Arcade lineups I entered with, but I'm still not cracking the elusive top 10 (where the real money is). I have played in my last ever head-to-head game on Draft Kings, however. Both of my lineups did GREAT, totaling over 150 points, only to be beaten by 2 or 3 points and I lose it all. Quite a blow, when you perform so well. I figure that I might as well just stick to 50/50′s and double ups, so I don't lose any money to a minuscule margin of defeat.
As you may remember from last week, I went camping this weekend and as a result, it was very difficult to get good info over the course of the weekend. I would check my sources and sometimes they were updating and other times they weren't (thought I didn't know it at the time). This only created minimal confusion as I had a lineup with 2 bets placed on it where Ryan Mathews was in, because a week old report about Murray being inactive appeared as news on Sunday morning. Thankfully I already had a few under-performers on this lineup (I'm looking at you, Steve Smith Sr. and Julio Jones) and I'm not sure that I would have had a chance to win here anyways as a result. Well worth it for a great weekend with some old friends.
In general, a lot of the guys who were putting up surprising performances as of late came back down to earth this week. None of these players were more soul crushing to me than Tyrod Taylor. Not only did it limit my fantasy success, but as a Bills fan, it might have ruined my whole week. I'm not going to panic about losing an out of division game, but it was alarming to see how little this offense was able to do without McCoy and Watkins on the field. Especially considering neither player was very productive prior to their injury. Taylor was kind-of the lone bright spot on offense for Buffalo, however, so you can still consider using him. Charles Clay had a big game and Karlos Williams caught a nice TD pass late, but receivers weren't helping Taylor by coming back to the ball on crossing routes. They let the ball come to them, rather than attack it, and defenders were able to get a hand in there too often. Taylor also had a 30 or so yard scramble for a TD get called back by not one but TWO chop blocks. Neither looked particularly egregious to me, but I'm clearly biased. Another TD pass was called back on a weak flag as well.
In other games this past week, Latavius Murray also was a notable disappointment. I had him in my love list, though I ended up taking him out of every single lineup before Sunday (phew) and he averaged just 3.1 YPC, and failed to eclipse 50 yards in a good match-up. Julio Jones finally had the stat line of a human being, this week. He failed to hit double digit fantasy points and for a guy that costs close to a fifth of your total salary cap, it's hard to justify trying to use him going forward. Antonio Brown had a dismal outing with Michael Vick and can't be trusted at the cost he carries until Ben returns. Lastly, Todd Gurley tore the Cardinals run defense apart late in the game and with the match-up being so brutal, it's hard not to consider him as a great potential value play, while the price catches up to his talent. Seriously, he looked amazing in that game, but I'll be talking about him more below.
Carson Palmer @ DET $6,600: Palmer and the Cardinals passing attack has been the model of consistency for fantasy owners this season. They are on the road this week, but it's the Bears they face and last time Palmer was on the road, he had 4 TDs. I plan to continue to ride Plamer until he is valued as a top 5 QB, because that's how well he is playing.
Sam Bradford vs NO $6,000: Last week we saw the presence of the deep ball in the Eagles offense. Multiple times the receivers were able to get deep and Brent Celek even hauled in a TD pass. New Orleans has a suspect secondary and struggles with the deep ball. Additionally, they are finding their stride on offense so the Eagles may find themselves in a high scoring game, which will benefit all of the Philly offense, for fantasy purposes.
Tyrod Taylor @ TEN $5,800: I almost gave this last spot to Eli, but I'm nothing if I am not a billiever… Seriously though, this isn't even a homer pick. The Titans were bad enough to get the 2nd overall pick just one season ago and while Mariotta is playing great, it's fair to say that Rex can throw some looks at him he has never seen before. I think the D gets a few turnovers, which leads to a lot of opportunity for Taylor. Also, if Karlos Williams is out, the slack created by the injured RBs will be picked up by Taylor. He didn't really hurt ya too much last week AND there were two big scores called back on penalties, so I think you can still trust him.
LeVeon Bell @ SD $8,500: Vick played well enough not to lose the game last week, but the kicker didn't get the memo. The plan was clear, use Bell. He was on the field for 98% of the offensive snaps. I can't imagine any other RB in the league touches the ball more this week than Bell. Oh, and did I mention that San Diego is 31st in the NFL for fantasy points allowed against Running Backs?
Devonta Freeman @ ATL $6,300: I would shy away if Coleman is back, but I don't think he will be. Freeman is setting an unbelievable pace when it comes to rushing TD's. It's not all a fluke, either. He seems to really have a nose for the goal line when they are inside the 20 and he certainly won the primary job, even when Coleman does come back. Be careful here, though. TD's are very difficult to predict as well as re-produce, so wait for the right match-ups to use this guy. Washington might not look like the right match-up, as they allow the LEAST fantasy points to opposing RBs, but that's more about how bad the running games they have faced are and the fact that teams can CHOOSE how to beat these guys. Atlanta will choose to use Freeman while he is hot.
Justin Forsett vs CLE $5,800: Cleveland is allowing an average of 141.5 yards per game on the ground. Baltimore has a banged up receiving corps and is VERY unlikely to fall behind and be forced to pass. Forsett hasn't been great, but it sure feels like the perfect storm, coming off the heels of his best game so far this season (5.6 YPC).
Todd Gurley @ GB $4,300: We've been waiting to see what he can do and boy, did we. I wouldn't normally be so big on a guy after his first game in the league… but it was the CARDINALS defense that he carved up. It was VERY impressive. He also showed a high football IQ by dropping short of the goal line after running 50+ yards, to keep the clock rolling and secure the game. I think the gloves are off this week and while the match-up isn't great, the cost is.
Travis Benjamin @ BAL $4,500: Last week is the first week that Benjamin hasn't found his way to the end-zone. We've seen it in the past with Josh Gordon… the Browns find a way to keep their deep threat relevant, despite their QB. I would have him in every lineup if Manziel was at QB (those two really seemed to click), but the Raves secondary is their biggest weakness and I think with the game in Baltimore, Cleveland is likely to be playing from behind. Duke Johnson might be a decent contrarian pick this week too, for long odds formats.
Jeremy Maclin vs CHI $6,000: His role in this offense has been increasing each week. He has two straight weeks over 140 yards receiving and last week he ahd double digit catches. Hard to believe it, but a KC wide receiver is actually averaging 20 fantasy points per game on the year. Chicago is a secondary that can be beat, and my gut says the Chiefs want to keep getting Maclin involved to take some attention from Charles.
Jordan Matthews vs NO $6,400: See Sam Bradford section.
Keenan Allen vs PIT $7,200: Don't forget that Draft Kings is a PPR format. This could backfire, as Gates is back and likely to be the main red zone target again right away. Allen has been boom or bust this season, but against a Steelers defense that has it's weaknesses, I think he is likely to be featured in the passing game and get a really high reception total again.
Owen Daniels @ OAK $2,700: Play the TE that faces the Raiders.
Charles Clay @ TEN $4,100: Clay has been improving in every statistical category in every game this season. He is Taylor's go-to receiver and with Watkins and McCoy still banged up, Buffalo has to find ways to exploit match-ups with Clay, which they have had little trouble doing thus far.
Bills @ TEN $3,400: Rex Ryan defense vs a rookie QB. If the Bills can stiffen up vs the run this week and minimize penalties, Mariotta will struggle.
Chiefs vs CHI $2,800: They don't cost much at all, so you won't mind if they have an exceedingly regular day, but we haven't really seen BAD Cutler too much this year. KC has as good of a chance as anyone to have a defensive TD this week. Don't go out of your way to play them, but if you are just a little bit off a significant upgrade at a different position, there is a lot of upside potential here.

This light installation is a meditative, playful reflection on sense perception. The best effect is achieved in the dark with the UV light switched on. A monochrome picture entitled "before I vanish" reflects an image of the viewer that remains "frozen" as a shadowy picture, and only slowly disappears. The lettering installation "Luisiol" is similar. It is a game about sense and senselessness, new languages and meanings. After the lights go off the letters fade slowly; scrabble for the soul, a nice way to fall asleep at the end of a long day.

Puppy Precise 5.4.3 and VLC, TuneIn, Zarfy, ppstream Install
Subject description: Step-By-Step Installation in USB flash drive
Date: 01/25/2013
Author: markov2013
Subject: Step-By-Step Installation of Puppy Linux LiveCD (Precise 5.4.3) on a USB flash and linux applications: VLC, TuneIn, Zarfy, Opera, Simplified Chinese, xvkbd, pfind, ppstream.
Reference Forum Site: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php
Primary xxxx.pet Download Site: http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/
Due to my Hp laptop hard drive falure, I initially decided to use Puppy Linux LiveCD to recover files from the corrupted HD. However, I ended up to install many linux common vedio applications such as VLC, TuneIn etc. successfully. In the following, I recorded my experience.
1. Hardware: HP G70-460US 17.5", 2009 edition. Check its specification on "http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&tmp_geoLoc=true&product=3979153"
1.1 Hardware RAM size: 2.0G
2. Puppy Linux Version: precise-5.4.3.iso (Precise Puppy 5.4.3), Download from: "http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/precise-5.4.3/precise-5.4.3.iso , Size 155MB, md5sum = 3a250ffc516d72d37f1644b7373047fe" .
3. A USB flash: size 4.00G (used for USB boot-up later. Size larger the better, 500 MB at least).
4. An external Hard Disk: used for permanent storage depot. size: 1 TB.
5. An internal corrupted Hard Disk: after Puppy OS installed, it will be accessable.
Action: (bios boot order setup)
1. Computer bios set up : usually the PC bios' boot order is set to be the internal hard drive boot first or DVD/CD boot first to search for OS. The Bios needs to be set to DVD/CD boot first to search OS .
2. When the PC boots, press "ESC" key for some PC, or "DELETE" key for others to enter Bios setup screen; then change Bios booting order to make DVD/CD the first.
Action: (download LiveCD "precise-5.4.3.iso" and install it onto a 700MB CD as a bootable CD)
1. Downlad precise-5.4.3.iso from "http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/precise-5.4.3/precise-5.4.3.iso"
2. Write the "content" to a 700MD CD to make it a bootable disk. (Beware don't do "copy" the iso file to a disk which will not be bootable.)
Action: (use the bootable Precise 5.4.3 disk in DVD/CD drive to boot up the PC)
1. With the bootable Precise 5.4.3 disk in DVD/CD drive, start up the PC.
2. If all goes right, you will see the whole Precise OS is loaded into PC's RAM by "copy To RAM" message (assuming the ram is greater than 200 MB.)
3. Then the Puppy linux desktop (in English) appears. (screenshot 01 needed).
4. At this moment, just skip the "Quick Setup" dialog windows by press "OK".
Action: (make the USB flash a bootable Puppy linux USB)
1. Plug in the USB flash into a USB port in the PC.
2. On the desktop left-bottom, find an icon representing the USB flash drive to make sure that the USB flash is in place.
3. On the desktop left-bottom, choose "Menu" > "Setup" > "BF install Puppy to USB".
4. Follows the default dialog setting to install Puppy OS to the USB flash. This will make the USB flash bootable.
5. Shutdown PC by "power off" in "Menu".
6. With the USB flash in one of USB ports, power up the PC, and change the PC's bios to set boot order to set the USB flash the first bootable device.
7. Take out the CD. (you may have to power on/off PC twice.) Start up the PC, if all goes OK, the PC will pick up Puppy OS from USB flash and load it into RAM.
Action: (setup internet)
1. On desktop, choose "connect", it is a simple network setup utility made by Barry.
2. Choose "CONNECT" button, and it will work OK if you have wlan0 and see network name correctly identified in place.
Action: (save the current session to the USB flash when shutdown)
1. In "Menu" choose shutdown by "power off".
2. Before the PC completely powers off, The screen will show up a dialog window asking you to save the session to the USB flash.
3. Choose "yes" and follow the default settings, except the size setting: I set the size to be 2.00 GB. (depending on your USB maximum size, choose largest size if possible.)
4. In the process of saving to the USB flash, you are asked to set the saved file name be "precisesave-xxxx.2fs". where "xxxx" is what you assigned.
5. You may check the saved file "precisesave-xxxx.2fs" in the USB flash content next time you booting up the PC. It is located at "/mnt/home" directory.
6. Note that this asking-to-save-session-dialog window only appears for the "first time" you shutdown after installation. Once you choose "yes" during shutdown, it won't appear next time shutdown. (all subsequent sessions are saved automatically to that file.)
Action: (install Zarfy Change Monitor Resolution)
1. To setup multi-extended-monitors by connecting an external monitor. I use Zarfy to setup extented mutiple monitors (not an external duplicate monitor.)
2. Download zarfy-0.1.0-i486.pet from site "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47603"
3. The exact download link is "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=22769"
4. A good practice is that after installing an xxx.pet package, one always checks it's dependency, by "Menu" > "Setup" >" Puppy Checking package Dependencies" .
5. Test it by "Menu" > "System" > " Zarfy Change Monitor Resolution" .
6. To find out how to operate Zarfy to set correctly of multi-extened monitors, check out the site "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47603".
Action: (install the Opera Browser)
1. Download "Opera-11.00-Lucid.pet" from "http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/" . You may choose other later versions. But this version works fine with my Precise 5,4,3 Puppy OS.
2. Install it by direct click on the pet package. Test run it.
3. Check its dependencies. (in my PC, there is no dependencies lacking).
4. Once it is installed, your default browser "seeMonkey" is replaced by the newly installed Opera.
5. The desktop icon "browse" is linked to the Opera executable.
6. The browser link script filename is "defaultbrowser" at "/usr/local/bin" directory.
7. You may edit this file to set the default browser back to "seamonkey" (replacing the word "opera" by "seamonkey".)
Action: (shutdown once in a while after you have install some pet packages successfully)
1. Shutdown frequently, so let the puppy OS save sessions automatically to the USB flash.
2. Power up to check if newly installed pet packages still appear in "Menu" > "..."
3. Also check "Menu" > "Setup" > "Puppy Software Package Manager" to see what pet packages you have installed so far.
Action: (install VLC)
1. The version I used is "vlc-1.1.7-full-lucid52.pet", because it is free of dependencies. Other version, such as "vlc-1.1.10-i686-lucid525.pet" I tried, cause me suffered some dependencies, and not work at all.
2. Download it from "http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/" .
3. Direct click on it to install VLC.
4. Check its dependencies, and test run it.
Action: (optional -- Install Simplified Chinese plus Chinese input)
0: WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS INSTALLATION if you don't recoganize Chinese characters or cannot get someone who does to help you out.
1. This option is for whom used to Chinese interface for desktop and browsing chinese websites.
2. You need to download three pet packages. "precise-5.4.3-zhcn-sm-6.1.12.pet", "scim-1.4.7-i486.pet", and "scim-pinyin-0.5.91-i486.pet" .
3. The download site is "https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7&id=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7!108#cid=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7&id=F042EC1C9DF3CFE7%21185" .
4. On that site, the subdirectory I downloaded all three files from "Simplified Chinese Language Pets" . Of course you may choose "Traditional Chinese Language Pets" directory to download traditional Chinese pet packages
5. By the way I picked up a better terminal program: Roxterm, "Roxterm-1.17.1-Lucid.pet" under "scim_terminal_fix" subdirectory.
6. Install them in the above listed in the of order (2.) sequentially.
7. Read the PDF file "scim_urxvt_fix_xxxx.12Dec12.pdf" comes with the package. to see how to toggle between English Keyboard input and Chinese Keyboard input (ctrl + space).
8. Check their dependencies, and most likely you will see your desktop changing to Chinese characters immediately after your installation.
Note: Packages are due courtesy to author "icake" at puppy forum site "http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=680111&sid=aada843332399545e67c4a58e2008703"
Action: (install TuneIn Radio Under VLC)
Note 1: TuneIn website under Linux Browsers (Opera, Firefox, Seamonkey, etc) does not have sound, however, through VLC (versin 1 or version 2) TuneIn sounds perfectly if installed correctly.
Note 2: Packages are due courtesy to author "diegofn" at VideoLan forum "http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=103587"
Note 3: Installation Confusion - The installation steps given by author "diegofn" most likely are for Linux VLC.2.xxx. However, VLC.2.xxx and VLC.1.xxx might have different directory tree structure once installed. That which TuneIn lua file should be copied to which VLC linux directory confuses people.
Noticing that after VLC.1.xxx is installed in Precise Puppy 5.4.3, there are two "vlc" directories. 1. "/usr/lib/vlc" and 2. "/usr/share/vlc" , and both directories have subdirectory "lua". All three tunein lua files SHOULD be copied to subdirectories "sd" and "playlist" of "/usr/lib/vlc/lua". DO NOT TOUCH "/usr/share/vlc" subdirectories.
1. Three "luc" files are needed; main file: "tunein.lua", playlist files: "radiotime.lua" and "streamtheworld.lua" .
2. Download tunein lua files from http://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php?content=152788. I downloaded the zipped file "TuneIn-Radio-VLC.zip" which includes all three files.
2.0. Edit "tunein.lua" file. In function main(), there are two lines :
local __username__ = "username"
local __password__ = "password"
Replace "username" and "password" by your own TuneIn username and password. Of course you need to go to "http://www.tunein.com" to register as a user in order to get your username and password. The username is most likely be one of your email address.
Save the "tunein.lua" file after edit.
3. Copy "tunein.lua" to "/usr/lib/vlc/lua/sd" directory (the "sd" directory is already existed).
4. Copy "radiotime.lua" and "streamtheworld.lua" to "/usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist" directory (the "playlist" directory is already existed).
5. DO NOT TOUCH directory "/usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions", DO NOT CHANGE these three file's extension from "lua" to "luac". In general I guess, "xxx.lua" script files are executed fine the same way as "xxx.luac" compiled files do under vlc.
6. Run VLC from "Menu" > "Multimedia" > "VLC Video Player" .
7. Choose vlc main menu "View" > "Playlist". A page show up on the left pane; there is an item "Internet", click the arrow precedes it, and a pull-down menu shows up; you will see an item "TuneIn Radio".
8. Click on "TuneIn Radio", and wait a moment; the right pane "playlist" will list many category directories: "My preset", "Local Radio", "Trending", "Music", "News", "Talk", "Sports", "By Location", "By Language", and "Potcast".
9. Try out one radio site in the list to see if it works.
10. Notice that when a clickable line of a particular radio site show up in the playlist pane, the line contains "mms://...", which is the mms url of that radio station. Alternatively you can copy url "mms://..." and paste it to "Media" > "Open Internet Streaming" page "URL" placeholder to listen to the radio.
11. Using (10) streaming method, you can try out radio-audio "mms://bcr.media.hinet.net/RA000014", Classic Music.
12. Using (10) streaming method, you can try out vedio "http://zb.v.qq.com:1863/?progid=1039787969", real-time Beijing TV.
Action: (optional, Installation of ppstream, a Chinese p2p video player)
1. WARNING: if you are using English Puppy Precise version, you may end up with unrecognizable characters on main "MENU" of ppstream, and leaves it useless.
1.1 "Ppstream.pet" is courtesy to "http://www.pps.tv", and pet file modification author "teasiu" in "http://www.minilinux.net/node/1649" and original author "Sunny99" in "http://bbs.startos.com/read.php?tid=1792940".
2. If you have already done Chinese character installation mentioned above, you may proceed the following steps. Provided that you are able to read Chinese characters.
3. Download "ppstream.pet" from "http://115.com/file/agk2wxgj". There is a joggling to this download; you need to first register to "http://115.com", then choose "off-line download", a clickable button (orange colored) on the right.
4. The download will end up in your personal space in "http://115.com". Then you login to your own space in "http://115.com", and from there download "ppstream.pet" to your local PC at home. This site is designed as a cloud programming site.
5. Install "ppstream.pet" (fully self-contained pet, no dependencies needed), and test it. There are other versions of "ppstream.xxx.xxx.pet". I tried many of them and NONE of them worked for Puppy Precise 5.4.3. Most of them are for Fedora Linux. This ppstream version is said only suitable for Puppy 5.2.0, which is untrue. It works for my Puppy 5.4.3 version perfectly.
6. Only imperfection of the ppstream player is its audio domination. Audio domination means that when ppstream plays, all other video players (vlc or GN mplayer) will be audio silent if plays simultaneously.
7. Ppstream can play local files, be them "rmvb, mp4, avi, ..." video formats. The local files listing by "open File". The menu may not list "mp4" extension files in directories. However, you may type in a particular mp4 extension file manually and press enter; then the mp4 file will play fine.
Action: (on-screen keyboard xvkbd)
1. Three files are needed, "libXaw3d.so.8.pet", "libXp.so.6.pet", and "xvkbd-3.1.pet".
2. They can be downloaded from "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37194".
3. Install them in the order of (1) - "libXaw3d.so.8.pet", "libXp.so.6.pet", then "xvkbd-3.1.pet".
4. The executable "xvkbd" is located in directory "/usr/X11R7/bin".
5. I made a symlink file of "xvkbd" named the same "xvkbd", and placed it in "/root/Startup" directory, so that when the PC starts up, the xvkbd virtual keyboard is automatically loaded.
6. Otherwise, open a Rox Terminal, then type in "xvkbd" (without the quotes ") at command line.
Action: (install pfind - a GUI-based file finder)
1. pfind is a gui-based file finder; I find it a quite useful tool to locate files and directories without resorting to the command line.
2. Two files are needed: "gtkdialog-0.8.2-i486-s.pet" and "pfind-5.10.pet". You can read the discussion forum at site "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=15136".
3. Download "gtkdialog-0.8.2-i486-s.pet" from site "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=15136" .
4. Download "pfind-5.10.pet" from site "http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko14/".
5. Install them in the order of "gtkdialog-0.8.2-i486-s.pet" first, then "pfind-5.10.pet".
6. Test pfind by "Menu" > "Document" > "Pfind file finder".

General manager Ed Stefanski has been relieved of his duties, the new Sixers owners announced in their introductory press conference.
Rod Thorn will remain as team president and will be the "captain of the ship," according to majority owner Josh Harris.
"We were lucky enough when we bought the team to have two fantastic people doing one job," Harris said. "We are going to stay with Rod. There are no current plans to replace Ed."
Speculation had been that Jason Levien, a former NBA player agent and executive with the Sacramento Kings, would be involved in player personnel. Levien is one of the minority owners.
Asked about ownership's involvement in player personnel, Harris said, "You can be assured that we are interested owners. We will be very focused, with lots of debate about what we do with players. At the end of the day, Rod is the captain of that ship. He will run that part of our organization. We will speak with you through one voice, Rod and Doug [Collins] voice when it comes to players."
Stefanski has been a frontrunner for the general manager job with the Toronto Raptors. A source said late last week that those talks were moving forward, although reports have said that those talks have hit a snag.
Stefanski was hired as the Sixers president and general manager in 2007 after having served as the GM of the New Jersey Nets. His role was reduced to general manager when Thorn was hired before last season.

Gay issue leads Scouts to find new Keene home
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
KEENE - Boy Scout Troop 18 had made its home at St. James Episcopal Church since 1949.
No longer.
The troop and the church recently parted ways over a national Boy Scouts of America membership policy that bans gays from Scouting.
Now BSA's national executive board is discussing removing that policy and leaving it up to the churches and other "chartered organizations" that host scout troops across the nation to set their own membership policies.
But it appears too late to fix the split that policy caused here.
Troop 18 has found a new home at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, just down the street from the Episcopal church.
"We found a very welcoming place, and I'm very happy for the troop," Scoutmaster Mark Hill said Friday evening.
The trouble began last fall when a parishioner at St. James raised concerns about hosting a Boy Scout troop, given the BSA policy that bans gay scouts, according to the Rev. Mark Jenkins, the rector.
Jenkins asked the vestry, the church's governing body, to put together a task force to study the issue. The group included individuals from families who had started Troop 18 at St. James, he said, as well as representatives from the gay community.
The group then met with representatives from Troop 18 and the Daniel Webster Council, and Jenkins said he thought they had reached an agreement to oppose the BSA ban together.
"What we thought was going to happen was that the (local) Boy Scouts would work with us to try to make a change at the national (BSA) level by saying, 'We're not in agreement with this (ban), and we're not going to abide by it,' as many Boy Scout troops around the country have done," he said. "But for whatever reason, the troop did not feel they could do that."
Jenkins, a former Scout, stressed the church did not ask Troop 18 to leave; he still thinks there were other options that could have been pursued. But he understands that "they probably felt like the welcome mat was being withdrawn."
That's exactly what it feels like to Mark Hill, a 15-year scoutmaster whose own two sons are Eagle Scouts.
As a Boy Scout volunteer, he said, he is obligated to follow BSA policies, including the membership ban. And that's what he told the church in an email.
Meanwhile, his troop of 25 boys, ages 11 to 18, was facing a Dec. 31 deadline to sign a new charter with the church. So they looked for another chartered organization that would accept them, policy and all, and found St. George Greek Orthodox Church, he said.
Hill said the BSA's membership policy on sexual orientation has never come up in all his years as a Scout leader. "We've never had to enforce it. We never felt we'd have to enforce it," he said.
"As far as I'm concerned, that's not even a subject that should come up in Scouts."
Hill said he ended up feeling his troop was discriminated against by St. James over what he called a "minute" portion of the overall Scouting program.
"We didn't feel welcome because of what was going on," he said. "So we found a place that welcomed us as we were."
How did Hill explain the move to his scouts? "We told them because of the BSA policy that we needed to find another place to charter."
Had the BSA changed its membership policy a few months ago, would Troop 18 still be at St. James?
"Probably," Hill said. "Because it wouldn't have come up from the church. The church brought it up; we did not. We didn't even know it was a problem."
"It was an unfortunate way to end a relationship," he said.
Rev. Jenkins, too, called the situation "really unfortunate."
"We're a church that does not discriminate," he said. "That said, we're also a church that tries to work with people and come up with creative solutions that could actually make a difference."
Jenkins said some members of the community are upset about what happened, but he said the church has also gotten a lot of support. And, he said, "Members of the parish who don't necessarily agree with what happened, or feel good about what happened, understand that we did the best we could."
In a Jan. 9 letter to parishioners, Jenkins wrote that the church "cannot lend our name to any effort or organization, no matter how well-intentioned, that treats any particular class of citizens in a manner that we believe to be unjust or to be disrespectful of their dignity."
He called for the vestry to come up with a policy on use of St. James' facilities that clarifies the church's "position on non-discrimination."
But until then, he wrote, "I have directed that our office not enter into any new facilities-use agreements with any party that is unwilling to abide by the Episopal Church's canons regarding non-discrimination."
Meanwhile, if the BSA does lift its membership ban when the national executive board meets this week, Hill said, nothing will change for his troop.
"It doesn't affect us one way or the other," he said. "We will still be providing as quality a program as we can to the boys that are in the troop, and we welcome all boys.
"We always have, we always will."

scenes from sundayTuesday, May 07, 2013
I just downloaded about 10 days worth of photos and decided to post these to remember how great the weekend was. You know, cause sometimes Monday's can be a bit challenging.
Remembering all the great things in life makes e v e r y t h i n g better.
There was work at a beautiful shop with loads of great energy and happy people. A derby gathering. Mint Juleps and the choosing of horses. (He chose Orb, I chose Golden Soul. She chose Charming Kitten, he chose Frac Daddy.) There was the caving of the delicious gluten full pasta craving.
Sleeping in. Coffee and knitting. A jeep ride. A trip to the nursery where the vegetables were carefully selected.chunky avocado salsa and a gluten Corona light. The planting of the lettuce, peppers, broccoli and herbs. A video Libby shared with me that she found cool and inspiring. I teared up. (Grab your tissues. Remember, you are more beautiful than you think!) A lovely Sunday night dinner with the first corn we've had since last summer.
Yep, those challenging Mondays are put to rest. Grateful for so much.

Pushloop Media necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 82 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Pushloop Media Interactive
We are reinventing our business and need a Logo to capture the energy and scope of who we are.
We are two broadcast tv vets with high standards for video production and storytelling.
We launched our current website http://www.pushloopmedia.com a couple years ago, because we wanted a place to showcase our abilities in online video production. Now, we want to create a broader identity that includes our still photography, magazine writing, blog(s), media training content, and interactive elements like online screening room with "comments," webinars, etc.
Personality could be described as: professional, sleek, cutting edge... yet approachable, simple, and "clean."
Our existing logo is a nondescript camera lens in black, grey and navy blue. We liked these bold colors, but are open to a variation with green, gold, or whatever you think looks modern for a media company.
People looking for interesting video content.
Companies looking for examples in effective marketing and branding videos.
Magazine publishers looking for still photography services.
Perspective employers and clients looking to see what we're all about.
Please Create the logo in such a way so that it can be used with or without the word interactive. Use a separate layer for the word 'Interactive' so that it can be used both ways.
(fyi, a "pushloop" is the name of a backwards flip in windsurfing. One of the founders is a windsurfer and TV director. I'm an on-air host and video producer so we liked the "energy" of that word and we liked how it could also imply a "loop" of footage. When you look at our current logo you can see we didn't find a way to incorporate that meaning... oh well.)
We will need our favorite logo in a high resolution 300dpi layered Adobe photoshop file (.psd) or scalable layered vector Illustrator file (.ai)
because we plan to use it in video animations, on company schwag, and in print.

James. Crosby score shootout goals to lead Penguins past Leafs 5-4NHL.com @NHL
TORONTO - James Neal and Sidney Crosby scored shootout goals as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Saturday night for their league-leading 11th road win.
Neal opened the shootout by beating James Reimer before Crosby sealed the victory by scoring on Pittsburgh's second attempt after Marc-
Andre Fleury stopped Toronto's Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri.
Toronto's Phil Kessel forced overtime with his seventh of the season at 15:40 of the third before an Air Canada Centre gathering of 19,418.
Neal, Crosby, Beau Bennett and Pascal Dupuis scored in regulation for Pittsburgh (17-8-0), which outshot Toronto 41-26. Crosby scored in his first game at the ACC in over three years to extend his points streak to a season-high seven games (five goals, 10 assists).
James van Riemsdyk, Cody Franson and Clarke MacArthur had the other goals for Toronto (15-10-1) while captain Dion Phaneuf added three assists.
Crosby, the Penguins' captain who leads the NHL in scoring with 40 points (12 goals, 28 assists) skated at the ACC for the first time since Jan. 9, 2010. In 11 career visits here, Crosby has 15 points (nine goals, six assists) and extended his points streak versus Toronto to eight games.
Then again, the 25-year-old from Cole Harbour, N.S., has excelled against Toronto, having registered 38 points (19 goals, 19 assists) in 24 career games.
Pittsburgh outshot Toronto 13-5 in the first and wasted little time opening the scoring as Neal registered 16th of the season just 36 seconds in. Matt Niskanen's point shot was partially blocked but the puck dribbled into the slot, where Neal fired a shot past James Reimer.
Van Riemsdyk tied it at 7:14 on the power play with his 14th goal but Crosby and Bennett combined to give Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead. Crosby registered his 12th goal at 14:31 after Reimer couldn't control Kris Letang's shot, allowing Letang to get the rebound back to Crosby. Bennett's shot got past Reimer at 15:21, giving Bennett his second of the season.
Franson's second of the year pulled Toronto to within one on the power play at 10:12 of the second with Crosby off for tripping. Dupuis put Pittsburgh ahead 4-2 at 13:01 with his ninth but MacArthur made it 4-3 a minute later with his seventh.
Reimer finished with 37 saves on 41 shots.
NOTES ??? Forward Matt Frattin returned to Toronto's lineup after missing 12 games with a knee injury . . .

Dr. Arthur Schatzkin, an epidemiologist who overturned the widely held belief that eating a diet rich in fiber could prevent the recurrence of the polyps that are a forerunner of cancer of the colon, died Jan. 20 at his home in Chevy Chase, Md. He was 62 and was suffering from brain cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute, where he spent most of his career.
Schatzkin also beefed up the institute's nutrition epidemiology branch and teamed with the AARP to conduct what was then the largest prospective study of the links between diet and health.
When Schatzkin joined the cancer institute in the 1980s, it was widely accepted that people who ate diets low in fiber were more likely to develop colorectal cancer. The bulkier stools associated with the extra fiber of a high-fiber diet, conventional wisdom said, were more likely to entrap and remove carcinogenic chemicals that entered the intestinal system through the diet.
But he wanted scientific evidence to back that belief and organized the Polyp Prevention Trial, in which 2,079 people who had already been diagnosed with polyps were randomized to follow either a low-fat, high-fiber diet calling for lots of fruits and vegetables or their usual diet. After four years, he reported in 2000, there was no difference in the number of new polyps in the two groups.
"We were surprised and a little disappointed," he later said.
The study was unable to show, however, whether a high-fiber diet could prevent the formation of polyps in patients without them or interfere with the progression of established polyps to tumors.
Schatzkin was convinced that many of the problems with studies of the effects of diet on health were the subject of bias in a patient's recall of what his diet had been years before. If the patient developed colorectal cancer, for example, and had heard that the disease was associated with a low-fiber diet, he would subconsciously think he probably had eaten less fiber than he should have.
To overcome this problem, Schatzkin teamed with AARP to form the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, which enrolled more than 500,000 people who kept ongoing records of their dietary patterns. That study has been the source of more than 100 original scientific papers and is a prized information source for a multitude of investigators worldwide.
That study eventually found that one particular kind of fiber, made from unrefined whole grains, can indeed reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
He also organized the Observing Protein and Energy Nutrition biomarker study, which developed objective measures of an individual's diet. Without such tools, he argued, researchers are unable to determine the real relationship between diet and cancer, as well as other diseases.
Arthur Gould Schatzkin was born Feb. 11, 1948, in New York and received a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1969. He gained a medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate College of Medicine in 1976 and later a doctorate in public health from Columbia University. He was on the faculty of Boston University before joining the cancer institute.
Schatzkin is survived by his wife, the former Tamara Harris; a son; a daughter; a sister; and a brother.
