Hong Kong (Hong Kong) – April 15, 2013 – Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts' newest flagship hotel will open in the heart of Shanghai this June. The 508-room Jing An Shangri-La in West Shanghai will envelop guests in a world of luxury and modern glamour befitting one of the most exciting and influential international cities.
The hotel is the cornerstone of the new Jing An Kerry Centre, a 450,000- square-metre integrated complex with prime retail, office and residential space located in the fashionable Jing An District in Puxi, Shanghai. Jing An Shangri-La will present an approachable contemporary design that evokes a strong sense of place complemented by Shangri-La's inimitable heartfelt hospitality.
Every detail of the hotel has been meticulously considered, from the staff uniforms designed by top Chinese designer Han Feng, to over 80 intricate silk lanterns that appear to float magically in the Summer Palace Chinese restaurant, to the commissioning of large-scale artwork from two of the most renowned Chinese contemporary artists – Zeng Fanzhi and Zhou Chun Ya.
"We set out to create a hotel that would be part of this vibrant community. We look forward to opening our doors on the 29th of June to our many loyal guests, friends, Jing An neighbours, and the greater Shanghai community," said Shangri-La President and CEO Greg Dogan.
Jing An Shangri-La overlooks the focal point of Jing An Kerry Centre – a 3,000-square metre piazza featuring pathways, gardens, water features and al fresco dining. Guestrooms will occupy the top 29 floors of the hotel's 60-storey main tower, while restaurants, offices and retail shops will be located on the lower levels.
The spacious guestrooms' rich yet delicate interiors are a foil for the stunning views of Shanghai visible through nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. All guestrooms will feature bathrooms with heated marble floors as well as LCD TV and digital clock embedded in the bathroom mirrors.
The most spectacular view can be seen from the hotel's Horizon Club Lounge, which takes up the entire 55th floor and offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Shanghai. Horizon Club Lounge access will be available to guests staying in the 62-square-metre Grand Premier Room category and all suites.
Among Jing An Shangri-La's many draws is its array of restaurants and lounges. Shangri-La created a distinct environment for each venue.
The unique destination restaurant, Summer Palace, serves Southeastern Chinese cuisine with Cantonese flair. Inspired by Chinese ink paintings of poetic landscapes, a series of contemporary dining chambers each provide a different dining ambience and menu. The colourful rooms flow from the casual Pantry Chamber serving dim sum, to the Lantern Chamber with an open kitchen specialising in clay pot cooking, to the exquisite Imperial Chamber for formal dining.
The 1515 WEST, Chophouse & Bar is where old Shanghai film making meets classic American bar and grill decor. Executive Chef Franco Brodini will bring "ranch to table" dining to Shanghai, serving beef from hand-selected cattle raised in Australia specifically for The 1515 WEST. The main dining room features an open-grill kitchen complemented by a raw bar and The 1515 WEST bar, serving signature cocktails from a team of world-class mixologists.
The hotel's two-level Cafe LIANG & mezzanine will add a new twist to the gourmet international buffet dining experience Shangri-La hotels are known to offer. The cafe will feature a "tick box" menu card for main courses, integrating a buffet and table service experience. Main courses can be served family style for sharing, and al fresco dining will be available in the piazza area. A la carte Japanese cuisine will be served on the mezzanine level.
Opposite Cafe LIANG in the piazza is a modern Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar in a striking stand-alone two-storey glass-roof building clad in bamboo.
Also located within the piazza is the home in which Chairman Mao Zedong spent several months in 1920. Preserved amid the Jing An Kerry Centre's gleaming modern towers, the heritage home is currently being restored with the support of Kerry Properties and Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, in collaboration with the Jing An District Government.
Anticipating a need for meeting and event space in the central business district, the hotel offers an unparalleled 4,465 square metres of function space in West Shanghai. Jing An Shangri-La's Event Centre is housed in a five-storey podium block with a direct passage to the hotel tower on the third storey.
Its 1,740-square-metre pillarless Jing An Grand Ballroom is the largest in West Shanghai and boasts a 10-metre-high ceiling. The ballroom is complemented by a roof garden and a 1,039 square-metre pre-function area. In addition, the Event Centre houses a 514-square-metre junior ballroom plus six function rooms covering 659 square metres of space.
One signature event venue will be the Lifestyle Suite. Designed to provide the perfect combination of privacy and exclusivity, the self-contained Lifestyle Suite has its own bar, reception area, living room, dining room and courtyard. It can cater up to 80 guests.
Other offerings at Jing An Shangri-La include Shangri-La's signature CHI, The Spa, a state-of-the-art health club and a 25-metre heated indoor sky-dome lap pool.
The hotel is steps away from the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, Jing An Temple and the famous Nanjing Road shopping street. It sits on a network of public transportation, including Metro Lines 2 and 7. It is a 45-minute drive from Pudong International Airport and a 20-minute drive from Hongqiao Airport via the adjacent elevated Yan'an Middle Ring Road.
The hotel and entire Jing An Kerry Centre development has been awarded the LEED Gold Pre-certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Jing An Shangri-La, West Shanghai is the third Shangri-La property in the city, joining the luxurious Pudong Shangri-La located in the city's financial centre opposite the Bund, and the vibrant Kerry Hotel, Pudong, a luxury lifestyle hotel located near Century Park and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

VANCOUVER -- Wally Oppal, commissioner of the Missing Women inquiry, issued a directive Wednesday that he wants to hear from Catherine Galliford, the Mountie who has alleged she experienced sexism and sexual harassment in the RCMP.
Oppal said Galliford will not be called as a witness at the formal hearings, which are expected to continue into May, but would like to hear from her at a policy forum on May 8, which will address issues relating to police accountability.
Galliford, 44, left active duty four years ago and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. She is being treated at an Ontario facility.
She previously handled media relations for the RCMP Air India investigation and in 2001 handled media relations the RCMP-Vancouver Police Missing Women Task Force.
The six policy forums will begin May 1 and will take place in Vancouver.
Oppal's directive, issued at 4:27 p.m. today, said he will hear from an additional 13 witnesses at hearings in May, including former B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh, former Vancouver mayor Phillip Owen, the former commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP, Gary Bass, former Vancouver street nurse Bonnie Fournier and a woman sex worker referred to as "Jane Smith," who apparently survived an attack by serial killer Robert Pickton.
Also to be called will be former Vancouver police detectives Doug Fell and Mark Wolthers, who worked on the missing women case and investigated a suspect named Barry Niedermier, who was eventually charged with sexually assaulting and torturing sex workers.
Oppal said he doesn't need to hear from a dozen witnesses, many of whom were requested by Cameron Ward, the lawyer at the inquiry representing 25 families of murdered and missing women.
The inquiry is probing why the Vancouver police and RCMP investigations of Pickton didn't lead to his arrest sooner.

The tragic Polish president plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczynski, along with much of Poland's political elite, on their way to share a moment of reconciliation over one of the most agonizing episodes in five centuries of stormy Russia-Poland relations, poses a severe political and moral challenge that both countries' leaders – at least so far – appear to be passing with flying colors.
The historical symbolism of the accident could hardly have been worse.
Mr. Kaczynski, along with several Polish World War II survivors and intellectual leaders, had been on their way to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre, in which Soviet secret police murdered 20,000 Polish military officers and buried them in the Katyn Forest, near the western Russian city of Smolensk.
For many Poles, that slaughter epitomized their relations with Russia which, over the centuries, has seen their country invaded, divided up between Russia and other powers, and subjected to long periods of domination from Moscow that only came to an end with the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989.
"It's hard to deny that this tragedy seems to have a strong mystical profile, as if it were some sort of sign," says Sergei Markov, a Duma deputy with the ruling United Russia Party and a Kremlin adviser. "Katyn is an intensely painful subject, and Kaczinski and his delegation died right near that terrible place ....
"Sometimes you come face-to-face with the awful, irrational nature of history, and this is such a moment," he says. "If this event had occurred a few hundred years ago, probably people would focus only on the mystical signal it seems to send. But we live in the 21st century, there is so much at stake, and we have to hope that everyone will behave rationally."
Poland's quick reaction
Many Russian commentators appear impressed with the swift and efficient reaction of Poland's democracy to what amounts to a political earthquake as well as a mass human tragedy.
According to the final tally of investigators, 96 people perished in the crash, including Poland's president, his wife, the chairman of the national bank, the Army chief of staff, the top naval commander as well as the heads of air and land forces, the chief of the national security service, a deputy foreign minister and several members of parliament.
"We still cannot fully understand the scope of this tragedy and what it means for us in the future," Piotr Pszkowski, Polish foreign ministry spokesperson, told news agencies. "Nothing like this has ever happened in Poland."
Poland's 1997 Constitution appears to be functioning smoothly.
Interim elections
Bronislaw Komorowski, the speaker of the lower house of parliament, automatically becomes acting head of state, and interim presidential elections will be held within two months. Mr. Komorowski's first act was to declare a week of national mourning.
Other senior officials who perished in the crash are expected to be replaced in a similarly orderly manner.
"We can see that Poland is a working constitutional state, and a modern democracy, and it is reacting to this terrible shock in a very dignified way," says Alexander Konovalov, president of the independent Institute for Strategic Assessments in Moscow. "One can be confident that there will be a process of new elections, fresh military appointments to fill this gap. There may be an interruption in the rapprochement between Russia and Poland that had been underway, but there seems no reason to fear a rupture because of this terrible accident."
Day of mourning in Russia
Russia, too, declared a day of mourning. President Dmitry Medvedev appointed his prime minister, Vladimir Putin, to head the investigation into the accident. Russian news agencies said that Polish investigators would be given full access to the plane's black box data and other details.
The initial report of Mr. Putin's lead investigator, Alexander Bastrykin, seems to exonerate Russia and blame "pilot error" for the crash. The report says the 26-year old Soviet-built Polish airforce Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft hit the trees at the edge of the Smolensk runway (as shown in this video reconstruction by the official Russian RIA-Novosti agency) and then smash into a field about 1 kilometer short of the runway.
The aircraft, which had undergone full servicing last December at the Aviakor plant – its original builder – in Samara, Russia, had no technical faults, according to Mr. Bastrykin. "The pilot was informed about complex weather conditions and, nevertheless, made a decision on landing," RIA-Novosti quoted him as saying.
Conspiracy theories
But the Russian Internet already abounds with conspiratorial "versions" of what may have happened, and suspicions of foul play can also be encountered in some Western-based blogs, such as here and here.
The conspiracy theorists point out that Kaczinsky, a long-time anti-Communist activist, had been instrumental in bringing Poland into a "special relationship" with the US, promoting the Bush-era plan to station strategic anti-missile weapons near Russia's borders, and advocating the induction of Ukraine and Georgia into NATO.
"With all the peoples' love of conspiracy, I don't believe there will be any serious provocations about this," says Gleb Pavlovsky, head of the Center for Effective Politics, a Kremlin-sponsored think tank. "Of course there are some people who believe in the power of evil forces, and see their intervention everywhere, but that really looks absurd in this case."
But at moments like this, Russians must contend with their own country's tortured history, which has been the subject of intense domestic controversy in recent months. The era of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin is pocked marked with mass atrocities, mostly committed against the Soviet Union's own people, although some, like the Katyn Massacre, affected outsiders. Although it remains difficult to tear the historical shrouds from Stalin's domestic crimes, the Kremlin appears more willing to own up to the USSR's misdeeds against foreigners.
"It was not difficult for Russia to recognize the criminality of the Stalin regime and admit what was done at Katyn," says Mr. Markov. "In fact, we've done this dozens of times. It's difficult to find just the right way to to do it. Sometimes it seems there's nothing you can say that will make the Poles accept the apology."
But, Markov says, the pragmatic Polish premier, Donald Tusk, and Vladimir Putin, had been moving toward an improved relationship, and a greatly improved historical dialogue was part of that process.
Indeed, he says, Russian leaders have strongly emphasized that their own country's premier holiday, Unity Day, which is held on Nov. 4 – to commemorate the liberation of Moscow from a Polish occupation army in 1612 – is not at all anti-Polish "but a day to celebrate the recovery of Russia," after the historic Time of Troubles, he says.
"Relations between Moscow and Warsaw are likely to remain difficult," says Mr. Konovalov. "But there are good reasons to hope that we'll be able to engage in reasonable dialogue about our differences. Sometimes a joint tragedy can play the role of a catalyst, to enable a process that ends acrimony and brings two sides closer together."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) D.J. Williams is preparing for his first start since Jan. 14 with Wesley Woodyard still hobbled by a sprained left ankle.
The Broncos (9-3) take their seven-game winning streak to Oakland to face the reeling Raiders (3-9) Thursday night, and they'll be without Woodyard, who didn't make the trip.
``It will definitely affect the defense,'' star strongside linebacker Von Miller said. ``He's been playing well for us, really all season. But D.J., he's ready to go.''
Woodyard won the starting weakside linebacker job in training camp with incumbent Williams facing what turned out to be two suspensions totaling nine games, and he's had a breakout year. He leads the Broncos with 97 tackles and is the only NFL player with at least three interceptions and three sacks this season.
On Wednesday, Woodyard was walking around team headquarters without the noticeable limp he had after Sunday's game, but the Broncos are concerned about him aggravating the injury in a short week and they decided to keep him out of Thursday night's game with a key trip to Baltimore looming on Dec. 16.
Coach John Fox wouldn't tip his hand on his intentions for replacing Woodyard in the lineup but acknowledged it was nice to have Williams, the team's leading tackler in four of the last five seasons, as the proverbial ``next man up.''
``I feel good about all our linebacking crew: D.J., obviously getting him back, getting him more familiar as we move along in our new defensive system; Danny Trevathan's played in a lot of those roles. So, we feel confident in both of those guys,'' Fox said.
Williams returned to Dove Valley after serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy and was able to attend meetings while serving his subsequent three-game penalty for a drunken driving conviction. He was activated last month and has recorded a half-dozen tackles and one pass breakup in three games.
``I think when he came back, he didn't seem really rusty to me,'' Miller said. ``He still was in really good shape. He looked pretty good. He had been paying attention in meetings; he was on top of everything.''
Williams' last start was in Denver's loss at New England in the playoffs 11 months ago.
``I think D.J. will be ready to go, and he'll take advantage of the opportunity,'' Miller said.
Slot receiver Brandon Stokley, who missed last weekend's 31-23 win over the Buccaneers with an injured hip, was listed as questionable after being limited in practice again Wednesday. Stokley said his hip started bothering him a week ago but he wasn't sure how it happened.
The NFL expanded its Thursday night schedule this year, making a lack of physical recovery a bigger issue, especially with so many of them being divisional games, which are notoriously more scrappy.
``This is a combative game, no doubt. And it's a tough game, whether it's played any day of the week,'' Fox said.
Notes: Listed as probable are: RG Chris Kuper (ankle) WR Matt Willis (knee), G Manny Ramirez (back) and TE Virgil Green (hamstring), along with DE Robert Ayers, who missed last week while dealing with the death of his father. ... Peyton Manning's 3,502 yards passing are already the most in NFL history by a quarterback who didn't play the previous year, topping Stan Humphries' 3,356 yards with San Diego in 1992.

V6 : Getting to pro debut!
Tamacass posted a topic in Tamagotchi Tips and TricksHi tama talkers! if you have a problem with getting pro debut, here are some tips! you know how most of the time, the third judge refuses? Well, when your tamagotchi practices it's instruments, it's makes a little sound. That means it's learning music and then you praise it. But then it will probably play it's instrument for no reason. That's one tip that will help you pass. another tip that will help is that the middle judge always excepts. If the middle judge hasn't excepted at your try, reply to this topic! the last reason is did you know how sometimes it ends up like this? -> X O O that's because you don't have the right instruments in your band. Change some of the instruments in your band and hopefully the first judge will except. that's all for now. Please reply for this topic if this helped or not! -Tamacass

How she managed to get home from her arrest is simple, she stole a walker.
I wonder if they just walked up to her or actually pulled her over with their squad car.
the best part of this story is that the female officer lifted the chair and put it in her trunk. Do you know how heavy those things are?

Between 14 and 17 of September, the first MVP Romanian Open Days took place at a nice location in the montains where I had the chance to meet for the first time 6 of the 11 romanian MVPs, among them, Ovidiu Cucu. Unfortunatelly the other Romanian MVP from CodeGuru, PadexArt, could not be present.
I had a great time there. The summit overlapped with my last vacation days, and despite waking up at 7 AM I enjoyed every moment (except for some delays during the fun time). We had some interesting "private" discussions between MVPs, as well as common time with students from the Microsoft Academic programs in Romania. We also had a day of fun in the montains, everything culminating with a moderated debate on various topics between MVPs in front of the students.
Me and my girlfriend took over 200 pictures during these days, but they are not yet downloaded on my PC, so I though I should post a picture taken with the camera of a fellow romanian MVP (copyrighted by Aurelian Popa). This is a group picture around a camp fire (can't be seen in the picture). You can see me on the left (proudly wearing my CodeGuru shirt) and Ovidiu in the middle (blue MVP t-shirt). Seven of us, from the left, are MVPs, the other three on the right are Microsoft employes. I will post more pictures as soon as I download them.

Prestige Cool-Coats are activated by water, they are light, cool and soft to the touch, making them luxurious and comfortable for your dog to wear. The Cool-Coat will make your dog feel cool, not wet. You can test this by putting your hand beneath the dog's coat and feeling how cool he feels compared to any part of his coat that is exposed to the sun or heat for a period of time. As the heat of the day slowly evaporates the moisture from the Cool-Coat, this in turn draws the heat out of the dogs body. Leaving him feeling far cooler than before.
When your Cool-Coat coat starts to dry out, it will begin to go back to its natural state, becoming slightly dryer, and a little stiff. When this happens, simply re activate your coat by putting it in water. Immersing the Cool-Coat in water for just a couple of minutes. Once the Cool- Coat is completely saturated, remove the coat and squeeze out the excess water, so your coat feels cool, yet not wet.
To clean your Cool-Coat, wash through thoroughly in clean water, if really dirty, it is safe to put your Cool-Coat through the washing machine. Please remember to wash dark colours separately. To store, simply allow your coat to dry and pack away.

In case you are not currently aware, Skepchick Rebecca Watson attended some conference recently and, when she finally went to bed after talking for hours, found herself in an elevator with a strange man who asked her if she would like to go to his room for coffee to talk some more. In her recent video she said "Guys: dont do this...".
The problem is she is not really clear what the problem is. Some people are saying all men are evil rapists. Some people are saying she is over reacting to what was an innocent proposition. Having read a few of other peoples comments I believe the main problem was that she was trapped in an enclosed space with a strange man who just propositioned her and she declined. So the proposition itself was not bad(personally I would consider it flattering), but the timing and location of the proposition put her in uncomfortable situation. I think if he had asked her the same question in a more open space, she would of felt more secure that her answer would be heeded. Like if he asked her the same question just as she got off the elevator rather than when they were alone in the elevator, it would of not been such a big deal because if she says no: the doors close and they both go on their merry way.
What do other people think? all men are evil-psycho-rapists? she over reacted? what this guy did is totally fine?

I have read various comments on various sites about this and have often felt that the tone and context of many of the comments by feminist female atheists makes me wonder if I really am a feminist female atheist myself, for I am finding nothing in common with most of them. I have always considered myself as one, but now, I do wonder.
This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. I don't see anything horrible in what Dawkins said or in what "elevator guy" did, nor do I think all men who disagree with Ms. Watson need to be labelled "insensitive", "rapists", "evil", "supporters of the rape culture", and so on. Watson certainly had a right to ask men not to approach her in a particular place or at a particular time of night, but she does not speak for all women.
It really depends on the definition of feminist...Personally I believe in equality... Some feminists also believe in equality. Some feminists genuinely believe women are better than men.
Haha, there's no doubt in my mind that the world would be a better place if there were significantly more women than men!
Those are my thoughts exactly. I think she's guilty of taking her standard for how men should behave towards her and deciding that it's a general standard that all men should just automatically know.
I spent a good portion of my life thinking that all these feminists and their standards for my behavior were what I should be following. I ended up suppressing my sexuality in a major way. Everybody has some behavior they don't like when it comes to being approached sexually, and much of the time they decide that somehow it's morally wrong (or anti-feminist) for anybody to approach them in that way.
I think the only rigorous standard anybody has a right to expect is consent to physical contact, and the ability for someone to take "no" for an answer without being noticeably angry or upset. Men and women both are guilty of seeing the other as a sexual object, and this will continue as long as there is sex.

Clingmans Dome Climber's Log
fox5659 - Aug 18, 2003 12:54 pmRoute Climbed: AT Date Climbed: April 2002
Brutal cold in April - but no tourists. Nice views of the Smokies from the tower. The tower reminded me of a marble race toy we had when we were kids.
dsnell - Jul 2, 2003 8:13 amRoute Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: June 29, 2003
I got to the parking lot at about 7:00 on what would later be a crowded summer Sunday. Early in the morning, however, I had the whole place to myself, except for a nice couple from Georgia. The views were nice, except for the dead trees. I'm sure the place was truly stunning before the trees died. It's too bad the Park Service can't (or won't, what ever the case may be) do anything to save them. I encountered a verly large (and brave) doe on the way down. Get there early to avoid the crowds!

Highpoint number 6 for Dy and I.

I drove the scenic route between Chattanooga and Kentucky by going over the Great Smoky Mtns National Park and also driving to the this lofty summit. It is disappionting to see the adelgid destroying the alpine forests up there. The fall colors lower down were spectacular.
big_g - Mar 3, 2003 6:19 pm Date Climbed: Feb 5, 2000Route Climbed: AT and MST
Snowy and cold when I was there. I was tempted to bivy near the tower. I never did make it out to the next shelter - too much snow and downed trees. I slept in the restrooms at the gap. Running water and a toilet!!!
Also climbed again 23 Apr 2007 to finish off the Mountain to Sea Trail. It was much easier this time!

When we reached the summit winds were approaching 60 mpg. The background of all our pictures turned out white due to fog and rain. It was cold and wet... We had a blast!

"lonely" mountain with a "great" view (5 Miles) on lots of dead trees.

Use the Clingman's Dome parking lot as a jumping off point for a lot of aour backpacking trips. The mountain is crowded most of the year except for mid December thru mid March when you have to hike 7 miles to reach it. Views are spectacular year round.
mnutz - Jan 11, 2002 6:13 pmRoute Climbed: AT Date Climbed: Jan. 2001
Hiked Newfound Gap to Silers Bald and back. Average 2 feet of snow on trail, and lotsa ice. Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful.

Nice mountain, and very nice view from the top! One of the 50 state high-points as well. Definitely a nice national park to go visit (Great Smoky Mountains NP).

Hiked over Clingmans Dome on my 1995 AT thru-hike. This was a new "elevation record" for me at the time.
John - Sep 9, 2001 1:49 amRoute Climbed: Summit Road Date Climbed: April 4 & 5, 1998
Since I couldn't find any reasonable hiking information before arriving at the park I just drove to this summit - a problem that SP goes a long way to fixing ;-). Although I didn't find any snow, I was pretty surprised at all the rime and clear ice I found - in fact it only took a few minutes before my car windows were completely coated with ice (no visibility) once the sun went down. I was lucky enough to have the summit tower to myself on both the evening of the 4th and the morning of the 5th. The scenery and views were amazing though my photos should be rescanned sometime.

A View From Studio 3: The lowdown on 'Rundown'
Many times it starts with a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. Still warm. Hand delivered to MLB Network by my co-host, Lauren Shehadi. She grabs them in New York City before heading to the studio in New Jersey. If there are donuts anywhere in the 140,000-square-foot facility, "The Rundown" staff will find them. We enjoy a good sugar buzz during our morning meeting.
On this particular day there were no donuts, but there was a different kind of buzz. Plenty of chatter about Prince Fielder and his substandard performance.
We came to no determination, but there were some curses used by our one, unnamed, resident Tigers fan. Of course, it wouldn't be a day at MLB Network without some commentary on Yasiel Puig. His celebration during, and after, his Game 3 triple is still a topic in some circles. Half the room was adamant that the Dodgers outfielder was out of line, the other half loved his antics. Baseball is fun, they said, so why not celebrate success?
As the 2013 season comes to an end, it's appropriate to acknowledge the success of the hard-working men and women on "The Rundown." Dozens of people who come to play every day. "Gamers" who don't always get the credit they deserve.
We had a full plate on this Wednesday (minus the donuts) for our 1 p.m. ET show. Two games to preview, reporters in two different ballparks thousands of miles apart, national insiders wired for sound, plus a pregame press conference in which Don Mattingly would address his team's dire situation. Down 3-1 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series, Los Angeles had no room for mistakes.
Where to start?
Our show producer, Marc Capalbo, and coordinating producer Bryan Meyers begin the process of forming the show on the previous day. They bounce emails, phone calls and text messages back and forth as frequently as high schoolers making plans for a Friday night. As the games unfold, it's their job to create an outline for the next day's program. It includes everything from editorial content to sponsorships to commercial breaks.
But they don't do it alone.
"The high quantity and quality of work from the assignment desk, editors, graphics department and researchers goes unnoticed to most viewers, but is what makes this show so fun to be a part of," Capalbo said.
Because the Cardinals were in a potential clinching situation heading into Wednesday's 6-4 Game 5 loss, we began the program talking about the NLCS. Our Dodgers reporter in Los Angeles, Alanna Rizzo, reported live from the field in the first segment of the show. Her topics evolved over the course of the day.
Adam Helfgott, our associate producer working on the assignment desk, has the task of communicating with the Los Angeles crew numerous times throughout the day to help form the contents of the live report. It's his job to identify specific pieces of video and statistics that can be used to enhance the information delivered from L.A.
Helfgott will repeat this process with our other correspondents. It's a cast of thousands this afternoon. Reporters Kristina Akra and Heidi Watney covering the AL and NLCS, respectively. Insiders Jon Heyman, Joel Sherman and Richard Justice contribute opinions and scoops from across the country. Plus, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Derrick Goold joined us from Dodger Stadium with his perspective on the Cardinals' winning ways. Every one of them required the assistance of audio and video engineers and remote control camera operators in our state-of-the-art facility.
Analyst Bill Ripken also joined the show to discuss Bob Costas's interview with Ozzie Smith 28 years after the shortstop's dramatic home run in Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS.
Coordinating the "hit" times for every one of these contributors requires precise choreography. All it takes is for one reporter to be held up by a late-running press conference and the whole show can go up in smoke. That's where Capalbo, Meyers, and show director Lucas Altman make their money.
Calling every shot in a control room that looks like NASA's mission control, Altman pilots his technical director, associate director, audio engineers, camera operators and floor directors through a one-hour ride. It's a ride that can be as smooth as a Lincoln Town Car if all details are accounted for.
Hours before the show, John O'Malley, a broadcast associate, is tasked with developing on-screen graphics. On any given day, O'Malley and the folks in his department produce 50 or more graphics that will be used on MLB Network.
"Working closely with the assignment desk, as well as the researcher involved with the show, we try to provide the talent, as well as the reporters at the ballpark, with various graphics that help support and better illustrate their news of the day," O'Malley said.
The folks in the graphics department are responsible for every fact, statistic or name that appears on-screen. But their job wouldn't be possible if not for the research department. That group is comprised of about a dozen folks, who spend their days preparing the hosts and analysts for any and every possible fact and scenario. In cooperation with the producers, the researchers condense the best and most pertinent information before it's turned into a graphic to be used on the show.
Of course, without videotape or video clips, we don't have jobs at MLB Network. So thank goodness for a video library so large it's truly mind-numbing. Media manager James Murphy is one of nine people in his position who oversee millions of hours of archived video. At any given time there are roughly 4,000 hours of video on the MLB Network servers. For those who know what a "terabyte" is, our library uses 105 of them.
If you have never heard of a "terabyte" (I'm with you), think of it like this: If you wanted to find footage of Pablo Sandoval blowing a bubble in 2010 and compare it to video of the Panda blowing a bubble in 2012, our media managers can find it for you within seconds. Video editors then take over and prepare the footage to match what is discussed on screen.
Thanks to the dedicated staff, which also includes make-up artists, wardrobe coordinators, engineers, master control personnel, teleprompter operators and scheduling coordinators, this process goes on every day at MLB Network.
Wednesday was smooth sailing for "The Rundown." Another show in the books.
It's time for lunch. Maybe I can find a leftover donut. If not, there's always tomorrow's morning meeting.

No. 13 Kansas State tops West Virginia, spoils Bob Huggins' return
- Kansas State jumped out to a big lead and beat West Virginia 71-61
- Bob Huggins received a warm reception in his first game in Manhattan%2C Kan.%2C since leaving K-State
- The Wildcats took a half-game lead for first place in the Big 12
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Red-faced, screaming and gesturing furiously, Bob Huggins charged out onto the court Monday night and exhorted the referees to blow the whistle.
The officials obliged by calling a technical foul on the fuming Huggins, who had to be hauled back to the bench by an assistant coach as West Virginia floundered in the second half.
It was a fitting characterization of how the night went for the former Kansas State coach, who returned to Bramlage Coliseum for the first time since 2007, when he led the Wildcats to 23 wins in his only year in Manhattan.
The Mountaineers were walloped by the No. 13 Wildcats, 71-61.
"I really like this place," Huggins said afterward. "I like the people. The people have been wonderful. It's nice to see people you haven't seen in a while, but at the end of the day, it's a business trip.
"We're supposed to win," he added. "We didn't."
Will Spradling scored 19 points for the Wildcats, who used an 18-2 run early in the game to spoil Huggins' return. Nino Williams had 13 points off the bench, and Angel Rodriguez had 11 points and seven assists as the Wildcats (21-5, 10-3) slipped into first place in the Big 12 by a half game over ninth-ranked Kansas and No. 14 Oklahoma State.
"Obviously a hard-fought win," Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. "Very physical game. Coach Huggins' teams play great defense, very physical. They try to disrupt you."
Deniz Kilicli had 16 points for the Mountaineers (13-13, 6-7), but he didn't get a whole lot of help. The rest of their starters combined for 13 points, with two of them getting shut out.
"What I thought was frustrating was we couldn't make a damn shot," Huggins said.
He watched the Wildcats seize control with their big run then was whistled for a technical foul for arguing with officials. Moments later, his leading scorer, freshman Eron Harris, fouled out after throwing an elbow on defense and picking up a technical foul of his own.
There were plenty of whistles blown in this game.
The officials called 49 fouls, and both teams spent more than 18 minutes in the bonus. The Mountaineers also had center Aaric Murray foul out, the Wildcats lost Jordan Henriquez, and there were three others who had four fouls when the game finally ended.
The teams combined to shoot 53 free throws.
"It was a very hard game to officiate," Weber said. "I know people get upset. I get upset. But I wouldn't take their job for anything."
After conceding the first basket a minute into the game, the Wildcats went on their big run that covered the next 8 minutes. Gipson did most of the damage inside for the Wildcats, the burly sophomore forward at one point scoring seven consecutive points.
"Let's be honest," Huggins said. "We give them five, maybe, layups in half-court defense in the first half. Maybe another three or four in the second half. You're talking somewhere between 16 and 20 points that were point-blank layups that eighth-graders make."
West Virginia was just 1 of 8 from beyond the arc over the first 20 minutes, and committed eight turnovers — six of them during Kansas State's big run early in the half.
"We weren't passing the ball," Jabarie Hinds said. "We were just holding the ball. ... We didn't have that much movement in our offense, so it was kind of easy for K-State to defend us."
Kansas State extended its lead to 41-22 in the opening minutes of the second half when Kilicli tried to make a move on the low post. This time, no whistle blew and Huggins roared out onto the court in a rage, his face beet-red and an assistant coach holding him back.
Huggins was hit with the technical foul, drawing a roar from the crowd, and Spradling made both free throws to give the Wildcats their biggest lead of the night with 16:25 remaining.
The outburst seemed to rile up the Mountaineers, who scored the next seven points to get within 43-29 with just under 14 minutes left in the game.
"When you see Coach fired up like that, you've got to do something — that's what comes to my mind when he's fired up, yelling at everybody and stuff," Kilicli said. "While he's trying so hard to get one call, why don't we just play, one time, defense and get the ball and score?"
But the Wildcats started to match them basket-for-basket, and another technical foul — this one on Harris, who threw an elbow toward Spradling's head — finished off West Virginia.
Harris also picked up a personal and fouled out of the game. Meanwhile, Spradling hit all four of his foul shots to restore a 58-40 lead.
"You can't do that," Kilicli said. "That was four points we gave up like that. They didn't have to work for it, and they scored four points and got the ball, and then on defense they got more momentum, and on defense they're way better than what they normally would be because they didn't do anything on offense to score, so that kind of killed us."

The Hollow Men: Politics and Corruption in Higher Education
Regnery Gateway, 1990 - Education - 356 pages
In his sequel to ProfScam, Sykes traces the decline of college curricula and shows how students and their parents are paying more money for less education. Sykes also examines the extreme politicization of the American campus and argues that this environment is producing hollow men and women with no more than a brief expose to the great books and ideas of Western civilization.

The digital print wallpaper IW2402 by Grandeco combines many advantages of a high-quality non-woven wallpaper with those of a photo wallpaper in one product. Therefore, you benefit not only from good material properties and easy processing, but also from a high-quality print that enchants every living room with an incomparable charm. A special feature of this digital printing wallpaper is that the pattern can be repeated after three strips of wallpaper and can be continued on both sides. Each roll of wallpaper contains three strips with a length of approx. 2.80 m. Because of that, one roll always shows a complete design. The wallpaper design impresses with a remarkable depth of detail, whereby the photorealistic representation receives a three-dimensional style.
Notice: In the illustrated room simulation 3 rolls of digital print wallpaper were processed.

AVEDA is a manufacturer and retailer of high-end hair care and skin care products. The company has set aside this month, in honor of Earth Day, to raise money to protect the planet. Aveda has been dedicated to sustainable environmental causes since day one, using natural, plant-based, organic ingredients in all of its products, and raising over $18 million since 1999, $12 million of which has been used to support clean water projects around the world.
There are several ways Aveda patrons can help contribute to the cause. You can purchase the Aveda Limited Edition Light the Way Candle, which is scented with 100 percent lavender, lavandin and clary sage essential oils, (much better for your indoor air quality than chemical air fresheners) and is packaged with recycled materials. Aveda will give 100 percent of the proceeds from the sales of this product to Global Greengrants clean water projects. In addition, if you receive a service at a participating Aveda-concept salon during Earth Month, the stylist or service provider will donate a portion of the appointment to one of their clean water partners.
If you don't use Aveda products, you can still get involved by simply making a donation online, or by participating in an Aveda 3.7-Mile Walk for Water, which takes place in cities all over the world to raise awareness and funds for various grassroots organizations. The company also suggests other simple ways you can protect water sources every day – by supporting organic farming, conserving electricity, and eating less meat.
Though Aveda is not a non-profit organization, we wanted to recognize their efforts to protect clean water through partnership with other charitable organizations, this #charitytuesday. Join us in raising awareness by re-tweeting this post!

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
You will not be able to do it that way. A specific device template needs to be made for that remote, and specific support for that remote needs to be written into Orbiter. That remote sends LOTS of custom HID packets, so no matter how much you xmodmap things, you will not get the full experience out of the remote using that method.I can do the development, if someone is willing to pay me.-Thom
The issue is, this will take a considerable amount of time due to the required research. It's at least 30 hours worth of work.-Thom

The Echocardiography Laboratory at Northside Hospital-Forsyth has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). Accreditation by the IAC means that Northside has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts. The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process including detailed case study review.
"These accreditations demonstrate Northside's commitment to higher standards and to enhancing the quality of care for our heart patients at each of our facilities," said Liz Sobczyk, director of cardiovascular services, Northside Hospital. "I want to thank our staff for all of their hard work in helping us to achieve this goal."
Cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the heart and blood vessels, are the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. Early detection of life-threatening heart disorders and other diseases is possible through the use of echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound) procedures performed within hospitals, outpatient centers and physicians' offices. While these tests are helpful, there are many facets that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on echocardiography testing. The skill of the echocardiography sonographer performing the examination, the type of equipment used, the background and knowledge of the interpreting physician and quality assurance measures are each critical to quality patient testing.
IAC accreditation is a "seal of approval" that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of echocardiography. When scheduled for an echocardiography procedure, patients are encouraged to inquire as to the accreditation status of the facility where their examination will be performed.
For Georgians at risk for heart disease, Northside Hospital's team of board-certified cardiologists, working alongside cardiac-trained nurses and technologists, has the highest level of expertise in diagnosing and treating disorders like congenital heart defects, coronary artery blockages and heart failure. An established leader in cardiovascular services and an Accredited Chest Pain Center, Northside offers a wide range of diagnostic, treatment and support services – encompassing the entire continuum of care for the heart patient – at locations across North Metro Atlanta.

The New Mexico Rail Runner Express can't seem to catch a break. On July 17, the Rio Metro Regional Transit District Board opted, in a 6-5 vote, to eliminate weekend train service between Belen and Santa Fe [SFReporter.com, June 18: "No More Weekend Rail Runner Service"]. The change is intended to curb budget cuts that resulted in a $1.2 million decline in Rail Runner funding from fiscal year 2011 to FY2012. The train already endures criticism for its limited schedule, but the decision raises other concerns: Santa Fe didn't get a vote. In fact, no Santa Fe representative has sat on the Rio Metro Board since its inception. Now, Santa Fe officials are pushing the Rio Metro Board to reverse the decision.
Conventions & Visitors Bureau Executive Director Jim Bradbury
It's a shame that the weekend service is being cut off because it's going to hurt the retail merchants tremendously. That's a lot of spending that's not going to happen in our community, so that's hurtful.
The Rio Metro area has never included the city of Santa Fe since it was set up. I don't know that that makes sense because Santa Fe has always been part of the service.
District 2 City Councilor Rebecca Wurzburger
This is a major setback for Santa Fe. We've been looking at ways of having the train enhance the local economy. We've been working to move the visitors' center to the Railyard. We've arranged the [Santa Fe] Pick-Up.
It is good to have representation. Had Santa Fe been sitting at the table, perhaps that decision might not have been made; perhaps it would. It would certainly have been much better for us to have had a voice. We don't right now.
The issue right now is, how are we going to get the reversal of something that was moving forward positively without our input?
We're telling them, 'Reverse your decision now; give us some more time to come up with funding alternatives.'
This problem cannot be solved by cuts. It's the same problem we had when we went through our budget recently. We have to, as a community, spend more time thinking about how you start building additional markets.
Mayor David Coss
I think the decision has to be changed. We actually just met with members of the Rio Metro Board, and Rio Metro and [Department of Transportation] individuals. It was myself, Councilor [Rosemary] Romero, the director of our transitional district, Commissioner [Virginia] Vigil, Councilor [Ronald] Trujillo. We think it was the wrong decision and we've asked them to change that.
What's clear from this meeting is that the Rail Runner has some issues that need to be addressed. There's a deficit at the Rail Runner of about $5 million a year.
We're not going to cut our way to a stronger economy and healthier communities.
As local governments, we're willing to do our share. Communities did pass the ¹⁄8 [percent gross receipts] tax. We're going to ask the state to make this a great rail system and the federal government to help as well.
All transportation is subsidized—any state highways, bike lanes, rail systems, transit systems. They do bear a platform that your economy is built on.

Hakan Gürsu Demonstrates The Taxi Taxi Station
Hakan Gürsu, the thinktank behind the displayed work Hakan Gürsu's TAXI Taxi Station points out, Grabbing the attention beneath the urban fabric, TAXI station is designed in an iconic way that uses graphic elements both visually and structurally at the same time. The station communicates with urban people perceptually and stands out as almost as a signage. Design uses a universal language and symbolizes ''taxi'' metaphor to a public station. With a modern and dynamic identity that suits contemporary urban life, the characterized building adapts to physical conditions with two different sizes..

Dallas Opposing Comcast Deregulation
City of Dallas regulators are opposing a bid by Comcast Corp. for total rate deregulation, claiming that the cable operator has not demonstrated that the market is competitive under federal regulations.
Comcast filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission Nov. 15 for effective competition. If deregulated, the MSO would not need local approval of rates charged for set-top boxes, remote controls and basic-tier programming.
"Comcast wants the benefit of deregulation, but it does not want to expend the effort to prove its case. Instead, it asks the [FCC] to act based on hearsay and innuendo. That request should be rejected," Dallas told the FCC in a Dec. 2 filing.
Comcast has about 136,000 subscribers in Dallas, the country's seventh-largest TV market.
The operator is entitled to full rate deregulation if it can demonstrate that pay TV competitors serve more than 15% of households in the Dallas franchise area. Comcast claimed that competitor penetration is 17.6%.
In their filing, Dallas regulators urged rejection, claiming that Comcast relied on either outdated or flawed data. For example, the city said, Comcast included direct-broadcast satellite subscribers with Dallas billing addresses even though they actually reside outside of city limits.
"Comcast's flawed methodology artificially inflates its penetration percentage," Dallas said, adding that after rejecting the petition, the FCC should bar Comcast from refiling for at least one year.
In its filing, Comcast said DBS services provided by EchoStar Communications Corp. and DirecTV Inc. were widely known to Dallas consumers, and data derived from private and governmental sources demonstrated that DBS penetration exceeded 15% in Dallas.
Congress deregulated expanded-basic rates effective March 31, 1999, but kept basic rates regulated until a cable system could demonstrate effective competition.
The basic tier includes local TV stations, public-access channels and any cable networks cable systems opt to include. Cable subscribers must buy the basic tier.
DBS operators are neither rate-regulated nor required to sell local TV stations. DBS subscribers are not required to buy basic tiers of programming.

Everyday is a bit over, maybe every other day, or every other two days. *LoL It's fairly recent that we found ourselves addicted to S&R... moving to Manila makes Clark Duty Free Shopping something to be thoroughly missed, so we found ourselves applying for membership at S&R BGC. And then we find ourselves loving the food from the food service plus the bakery, so much so that hubby had to get a extension card with added fees of course, so he can visit there as much as he please during work days and get our refills of baked goodies. So is the membership fee of Php 700 (+ Php 400 for the extension) worth it? I guess so. ^_*
S&R is perhaps our version of Costco Warehouse Shopping. There are a lot of product samplings and demos in store, so it gets pretty fun. Although, most are sold in big/wholesale sizes, so if you're in the mood to stack up, this is a good way. Local products are priced about the same in the local supermarkets, except you have to buy in packs of two's, three's etc. And the lines are not complete. But the basic and the fast-moving SKU's are available. Surprisingly, some items (e.g. Dentiste Toothpaste) is sold cheaper here for Php 220+ vs. supermarket's Php 250+. The best part is the SALE Promotions, and they're such great finds too, take the cookies for example, the expiration date is still a couple of months away, vs. the usual days or week/s. So most are still good finds. Sometimes, they put a product on discounts, such that it's almost the same as US selling price. Although Costco Shopping remains the undisputed haven for retail therapy because of coupons, and hefty discounts on some selected promoted items and on wholesale packs, but since Costco or duty free shopping is a couple of miles away plus a hundred/thousand pesos flight away, I'm happy with S&R. LoL* But mind you, the food selections, although limited, are actually compelling enough to visit S&R. ;-D...super looking forward
and saving for next big S&R sale. Cheers! ;-D
|S&R at Bonifacio Global City. The Food Service/Restaurant was jampacked during the Mother's Day weekend.
|S&R Bonifacio Global City Shopping Area
|The fresh section offers a variety of fruit choices as well. Take the Driscoll's strawberries which Chase picked.
|Strawberry Love...it's huge! ;-D Oh my, a pack of Driscoll's sells for Php 400+, it was a treat for Chase.
|Lemon Berry Ring Cake is our favorite from all others, we tried the Apple Berry, the Rum Cake, but we like this the most.
|The Chicken Ceasar Salad Php 160+ available at the Food Service. I adore this much. ;-D
|And my other favorite part, shopping for home care and hair care products...Downy, Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner with Argan Oil, Ajax Liquid Bleach Detergent.
