Men's Soccer
Men's Soccer Signs Five to National Letters of Intent
March 3, 2011
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State men's soccer team is coming off a record-breaking season, and Head Coach Damon Rensing looks to continue the success of the program by adding five high school seniors for the 2011 roster, signing those athletes to National Letters of Intent. The 2010 season saw the first senior class in school history earn NCAA Tournament bids in each of its four years, while two members of that senior class, Colin Givens and Spencer Thompson, were drafted by Major League Soccer. Michigan State finished the 2010 season with a 13-7-2 overall record, (the fifth consecutive season with 11 or more wins) and into the NCAA Round of 16 for the first time since its National Championship season of 1968.
"We are really excited about the 2011 class, which will deepen our pool of players as we continue to build off the success of the last few years," noted head coach Damon Rensing, who will be in his third season as the Spartan head coach in 2011. "This is a talented, athletic and versatile group of players who will be able to compete for playing time and starting positions right from the start. These five players have great character off the field and are good students in the classroom, something that MSU coccer has relied on for years. We look forward to getting them on campus this fall."

DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng says the illness that kept him out of a playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets was far more serious than the flu.
He missed the Bulls' loss in Game 6 on Thursday with what coach Tom Thibodeau said were flu-like symptoms.
In one of a series of tweets from the hospital on Friday, Deng wrote: "It really upsets me that everyone thinks I would miss a game" because of the flu.
He also confirmed he had a spinal tap to rule out meningitis earlier in the week. And he indicated he will join the team for Game 7 in Brooklyn if he's medically cleared, although he might have to spend the night in the hospital.

Automating testing of iOS apps with Appium and Ruby
Writing automated acceptance tests of iOS apps has always been tricky. Prior to the introduction of Apple's UIAutomation framework, there was no official way of writing automated UI-driven tests for iOS. There have been numerous third-party attempts at coming up with an automated testing solution over the years - some bad, some good - and I think I've probably tried most of them.

Equinox contains the Matrikines Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR acting in synergy to repair the cutaneous damages of age. Equinox contains matrikines which are messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair. They activate the neosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromecules providing Equinox with a visible antiwrinkle efficacy.
Matrikines are messenger peptides capable of regulating cell activities by interacting with their specific receptors. They activate certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation. Those mechanisms become weaker and weaker with age.

Bud Selig will always be known in the Badger State as the man who brought baseball back to Wisconsin. That alone will mean his legacy here will be a bit different than it is in other parts of the country. It should also be noted the the most embarrassing thing during his tenure happened here as well. I was covering the 2002 MLB All-Star game at Miller Park when both teams ran out of pitchers in the 11th inning and the commish threw up his hands and declared the game a tie. In a stunning overreaction to that event he pushed to make the game more meaningful by having the winning league get home field advantage in the World Series...which led to all kinds of comical scenarios.
He became "interim" commissioner in 1992 and since he came from the owners ranks it was no surprise that many of his edicts helped the owners. The low point of his tenure had to be 1994 when he cancelled the World Series....or maybe it was the ignoring of the PED crisis for years while Sosa, McGwire and the rest of the steroid boys brought MLB back from that work stoppage.
The Steroid era will hang over Selig's head like the Sword Of Damocles and although everyone involved in the game including the players union, the media and the owners should share the shame and the blame it's the commissioner that supposedly has the power to fix anything using his"in the best interest of the game" decree.
There are positives of course. you cant be in office for 20 years without having something good happen. New teams in Arizona & Tampa...20 new stadiums were built although the debacle in Oakland continues to smell(literally) How can we have a major league team with raw sewage leaking into the dugout and clubhouse? The A's would like to build a new stadium in San Jose...the Giants hold rights to that area. That can be changed with a 3/4 vote of the owners...Selig has never called for that vote. Here's hoping that the commish will order the Giants to relent and let the A's move before he leaves office.
Other positives include lucrative new TV contracts, the World Baseball Classic(although I may be the only one who likes it) and Instant relay (although its taken way to long to get in fully in use).
There is no question that Bud Selig loves baseball. Here's hoping that he can enjoy it more after retirement. And here's hoping a new commish will not be a lap-dog for the owners and be able to change the things that need changing.
Looking forward to the Badger-Ohio State game Saturday night. A true test for both teams.
Another test for both teams in high school football tonight as DC Everest hosts Wausau East at Steihm Stadium. Both teams have had problems stopping the opponent...could be a shootout tonight.
The new tv season is upon us and along with returning favorites like "Person On Interest:, Elementary, Boardwalk Empire and Homeland(starts this Sunday) I'm checking out a few new ones...Sleepy Hollow is outraegous fun...The Blacklist features the always stellar James Spader and The Agents of SHIELD promises to be a fun little ride.
I'm also currently reading a couple of good books. "The Confessions of Al Capone" is a fictional look at the last days of the mobster from Loren Estleman. Estelman can move from hard-boiled noir to westerns and back again with ease. He's one of my favorite writers and this is a good one. Also reading Graham Nash's auto-biography "Wild Tales-a Rock & Roll Life." an excellent look at the 60's and 70's from one of the great singers of the era.
Songs of the Day (from my I-pod) here's a couple of Graham Nash classics
Wild Tales-Graham Nash (1973) title track from his second solo album...the album is loaded with all of his famous friends contributing.
Military Madness-Graham Nash(1971) from his first solo album 'Songs For Beginners". When he does this song in concert he always says he wishes he could drop it from his set-list. Maybe someday. Please be aware that this song does not disparage the brave men & women who serve...only the chicken-hawks that control where they are sent and what they have to do.

Like an exotic bird that can only be spotted in a number of places in the world, the Pagani Zonda supercar isn't the type of car that you can just spot in everyday traffic.
This particular Zonda, a bright orange one at that, was videotaped in – of all places – Argentina. A long commute from its headquarters in Italy, don't you think?
In any case, the raging Italian machine was videotaped as it was running roughshod over the Autopista Panamericana, a highway so long that it goes all the way up to Alaska. In any event, we're still trying to figure out how this Zonda found its way to Argentina. Maybe some rich Argentinean decided to splurge on one? Who knows?
What we do know is that wherever part of the world the Pagani Zonda is in, it's going to attract its fair share of attention from anybody who lays eyes on it. You don't see Honda Civics being videotaped in this manner, do you?
Video #2 after the jump.

About Me Avid Cook
More and more cans come with the pull top ring, and many of them are difficult to open--with more risks for getting cut on sharp edges.We open many cans of cat food daily, and all of them come with pop top ring openers. The ring pull can opener is much easier and safer in opening the cans. Thanks for the product!

We don't know exactly what the folks at Nanosolar are up to, but they're impressing a lot of folks, and that's pretty exciting. They're definitely working on cheap levitra 50mg roll-to-roll printing of viagra headaches thin film CIGS solar cells, and they have been saying for ages that it'll be way cheaper than traditional silicon.
But, so far, we at EcoGeek haven't seen any proof of that decreased cost per watt. However, as they've recently attracted $100 M in funding from venture capital, and an additional $20 M grant from the US Department of Energy, we're willing to suppose that there's something up their sleeve.
The $20 M from the DOE is the largest grant being given out as part of the real viagra pharmacy prescription Solar America Initiative. Other awards were given to GE, SunPower and Others. But while Nanosolar is still working on becoming the leader of the pack, it'll come down to no prescription drugstore tramadol more than just funding. Nanosolar's technology is going to have to prove superior to other well-funded, thin-film manufacturers like Masole and Heliovolt.

Just as each different type of battery has its own voltage characteristics, based on the electromotive series, photovoltaic devices do also. A silicon solar cell is 1/2 volt. An entire roof would produce a lot of current at 1/2 volt or whatever the flexfilm material voltage is.
Instead, some kind of paneling will be needed to build the voltage to a useful level, and then the size of recommended site pfizer levitra cheap each paneling piece will determine the current relative to the capability of the materials used.

Over half your bill is for heating air and the online order for viagra balance for heating water. Solar thermal, which includes forced air and water heating haven't gotten the attention they deserve because solar hot air (at 75-80% efficiency) only costs about $1 per usable watt to install, and water heating (at 30%) is about twice that. And you don't need to take out a second mortgage on your home to buy and install these panels because they are 1/7 the price and www.pneumapaniagua.es don't require government intervention. So while Solar PV is racing for the magic 20% efficiency mark, you already have the most efficient and least costly products available and ready to install that can keep you comfortable in you own home. Have a look at www.cleardomesolar.com. and do a search for solar forced air and water heating to learn more.

keep in mind that only 1/4 of your annual utility bills are paid to the electric power producers. Over half your bill is for heating air and the balance for heating water.
That's clearly not true here in Houston. My electric bill is easily 2-5 times as high as my gas bill year-round, except maybe 1 month in the winter when they're about even.

Rongorongo; Forgotten Function is an exploration rooted in the language of function where both memory and meaning are lost. False lids, multiple spouts (some obstructed, some fixed, others detachable), curiously and illogically-placed holes and tubes intentionally disturb the recognized and accepted grammar and syntax of function, causing the viewer and potential user to experience a disruption in the affordance towards the object.
In much the same way that an object excavated from the archaeological record only reveals to us a portion of its story, the meaning and uses of these vessels can never be completely recovered and known. Because the link between craft and everyday use has been permitted to slowly slip away from our collective experience, we are left with what we can only interpret but never fully explain. Function is forgotten.
Luke's work seeks to invite the viewer to wonder at these curious vessels, and to provoke us to awaken to the process of cultural richness being lost. Its creative corollary, however, is that such richness can endure when care is taken to preserve meaning, ritual, skill and knowledge?

Zoe Clare
BA (Hons) Ceramic Design
Central Saint Martins - University of Arts London
Zoe is an artist who works predominantly with ceramic. She creates sculptures that are visually absorbing, rich in layers, texture and integral repetitive patterns.
Zoe is influenced by the natural world around her and the discoveries made during her travels. The natural world, often overlooked, provides her with rich visual resources, which she then interprets and uses as a vessel to convey commentary and observations.
The 'Invading Forms' series explores the effects and conservational issues of invasive, non-native plants and their effects on the bio diversity of South Africa's endangered environment. The sculptures are a metaphor for the conservational issues and endangered biodiversity we are facing today.
The sculptures, created in porcelain, take on the aggressive character of the invasive plants and become an invading form, growing organically and intrusively, absorbing anything and everything that is in its path.
These structural forms are concerned with internal and external spaces and holds remnants of the extinct plants it has devoured inside for spectators to see. Sections of the invading forms are open, allowing the insides to be examined. Within are surprising textures and glazes depicting the exotic nature of the diminishing South African fauna and flora.

Jade Crompton
BA (Hons) Design
Liverpool Hope University
Combining traditional plaster mould making techniques with the modern techniques of 3D design, Jade uses prototypes and digital model making to create unique moulds for slip casting.
Jade enjoys taking natural forms and applying structure and pattern using digital software, giving an organic and manmade appearance to her work. Overall her work is intended to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Her current work focuses on casting plaster moulds from 3D printed models and layering laser cut pieces of perspex, this process allows Jade to produce more detailed and precise designs. The works are inspired by the layers found in natural formations such as lava, rock and ice.
Instead of using glazes or coloured slips which Jade finds too unpredictable, she uses airbrushed layers of under glaze which leaves a even matte coverage. She also adds a layer of clear glaze to the inside of her pieces which renders them waterproof.

Ruth Harrison
BA (Hons) Ceramics
Plymouth College of Arts
Ruth Harrison uses porcelain to create sculptural forms using repeated elements. She is interested in symmetry and the idea of taking one shape and multiplying it many times over or around a cylinder. Her work evokes the childhood memory of running a hand or stick along a fence.
Ruth chooses to use porcelain due to its white body when fired to 1260°c. Porcelain also works very well with coloured stain which she uses for some of her collections.
Ruth draws the attention of the viewer to a section or strip of the finished piece using colour, texture or pattern which is added to the piece as it is being made. Each disk is hand cut using a cookie cutter from 3mm thick slabs of porcelain which are then cut in half, sponged, scored, slipped and attached to a slip-cast cylinder.

Cancer Research Highlights
Breast Cancer Risk in Survivors of Childhood Cancer Quantified
In the largest study of its kind, researchers led by Dr. Peter Inskip of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics estimated the relationship between exposure to radiation during childhood cancer treatment and adult breast cancer risk in 6,647 women from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). The results were published July 20 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Overall, women who received any radiation therapy for their initial cancer were 2.7 times as likely to develop breast cancer. The risk increased linearly with increasing radiation dose to the area where the tumor developed in the breast, reaching 11-fold for doses in the highest category of exposure (40 Gray), relative to no radiation.
The women had been diagnosed with their primary cancer as children, between 1970 and 1986. One hundred twenty developed breast cancer by the end of 2001 and gave consent to have their medical records reviewed. The researchers matched each of the 120 women with 4 women in a control group from the CCSS who had not developed breast cancer. Medical physicists estimated radiation doses to the breast and ovaries.
Interestingly, women who had received radiation to the breast as well as a sterilizing radiation dose to the ovaries (which stops ovarian hormone production) had a sharply reduced risk of radiation-related breast cancer. "A radiation dose to the breast can cause damage that may potentially develop into cancer, but whether that damage does develop into cancer can be influenced by hormonal stimulation from the ovaries," explained Dr. Inskip.
The authors noted that modern radiation therapy for most types of childhood cancer uses substantially lower radiation doses than protocols used between 1970 and 1986. In addition, said Dr. Inskip, "we're highlighting the complications of treatment here, but we should remember that there has been remarkable progress in treating childhood cancer. Many children who might have died from their cancer are living due to advances in treatments."
Thalidomide Does Not Help in Small Cell Lung Cancer
Adding the drug thalidomide to chemotherapy did not help patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) live longer, but it did increase the risk of developing blood clots in veins deep within the body, British researchers reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute on July 16. Thalidomide was evaluated in this disease because of its ability to inhibit angiogenesis, or the growth of blood vessels, in tumors. Angiogenesis is thought to play an important role in SCLC, which accounts for about 20 percent of lung cancers.
The drug has improved survival for people with other cancers, but it provided no benefit in the first phase III, randomized trial of an antiangiogenic agent in SCLC. In the 724-person study, Dr. Siow Ming Lee of University College Hospital in London and his colleagues found that survival was essentially the same (about 10 months) in both the thalidomide group and the chemotherapy-alone group. Patients in the thalidomide group, however, faced a higher risk of clotting events such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus.
In addition, patients with extensive disease in the thalidomide group fared worse than those in the chemotherapy-alone group. Targeting angiogenesis may not work as well in SCLC as in multiple myeloma and colorectal cancer, perhaps because of differences in the angiogenic pathways involved, the researchers concluded.
The notion that thalidomide has antiangiogenic effects in patients should be revisited, noted an accompanying editorial. But the biology of SCLC is still poorly understood, and the authors suggested that it may make sense to focus now on laboratory research that could lead to new insights and identify promising therapeutic targets.
New Role Found for Tumor-suppressor Protein
Japanese researchers have identified a previously unknown function for the protein p53, which helps the body suppress tumors. A team from the University of Tokyo found that p53 also plays a role in the processing of microRNAs, snippets of genetic material that regulate genes. The loss of p53 may affect the processing of several microRNAs with anticancer properties, the team reported in the July 23 Nature.
The gene for p53 is mutated in half of all cancers, and in a majority of tumors the p53 pathway is inactivated. The protein is thought to protect against cancer in cells with DNA damage by activating genes that cause the cells to either commit suicide or stop growing rather than progress to a tumor. Together with previous research, the new results suggest that p53 mutations can disrupt several tumor-suppressive functions at once, including the induction of cell suicide and the processing of microRNAs that help suppress abnormal cell growth.
These results may have implications beyond the cell's response to DNA damage and cancer, according to an accompanying editorial, because mutations in p53 could alter other aspects of RNA metabolism besides microRNA processing. Future studies will need to determine precisely which microRNAs are regulated by p53 and describe the underlying mechanisms involved.
Some researchers have been exploring ways to re-activate p53 in cells where the protein has been disabled, but this has so far proved to be a challenge. The current study suggests that doing so would restore anticancer functions that were previously unappreciated.
Clinical Trial Caution: Meeting Abstract May Differ from Final Publication
Randomized clinical trials of cancer therapies are often reported as preliminary results in the form of abstracts at major scientific meetings. But, as a new study documents, the conclusions of these abstracts may not agree with the subsequent final analyses published by the trial investigators in peer-reviewed journals. In about 10 percent of the trials analyzed, there was a reversal in the researchers' conclusions about the efficacy of treatment when the abstracts were compared with the final report.
Given the potential for non-final results to mislead and even affect how the trial continues, clinicians, investigators, and the organizers of conferences should be cautious when interpreting results from randomized clinical trials, Canadian researchers from the NCIC Clinical Trials Group reported online last week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The researchers assessed 138 randomized clinical trials, published between 2000 and 2004, in four major cancers (lymphoma, breast, colorectal, and non-small cell lung cancer). For each trial, the researchers identified and analyzed corresponding abstracts that had been presented at seven major cancer meetings between 1990 and 2004. All of the abstracts presented efficacy results.
"A substantial percentage of trials will see an important change in their conclusions from the time of abstract presentation to the final publication," said lead investigator Dr. Christopher Booth of Queen's University Cancer Research Institute. "This means that clinicians need to be cautious before changing their practice based on preliminary results of randomized trials."
Just as important, the authors of abstracts have a responsibility to clearly identify non-final results, commented Dr. Benjamin Djulbegovic of the University of South Florida and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, who studies clinical trials. "The bottom line is that people who use the information in these abstracts need to know when results are preliminary."

It's always a treat when a new Alan Graham
mystery hits the bookshelves. Malcolm
Shuman's rather quiet, unassuming non-Indiana Jones-ish protagonist
has become one of my favorite fictional heroes.
Alan Graham is a contract archaeologist who owns his own small
cultural resources business in Louisiana.
The previous four mysteries in this series have all taken place
in the Southeast of the United States and all have been good yarns built
on a framework of solid descriptions of archaeological fieldwork.
I've heard that MVAC's contract archaeologists have enjoyed
reading these mysteries and especially identify with Alan Graham's
woes at the hands of his nemesis in the Corps of Engineers contracts
office—a strong-willed bureaucrat by the name of Bertha Bomber (or La
Bombast, as Graham often refers to her) who never finds Graham's
technical reports quite up to her high performance standards!
The fifth entry in this series, The Last Mayan,
is quite a departure from the earlier novels.
Alan Graham temporarily leaves the bayou country behind for the
jungles of southern Quintana Roo in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
We learn that Graham's academic specialty, before turning to
contract archaeology was as a Mayanist and he has returned to an area
that he had studied some fifteen years before to participate in the
excavation of a newly discovered Mayan site.
As in the previous Alan Graham mysteries, Malcolm Shuman
continues to demonstrate considerable skill in portraying a sense of
place. I found his
descriptions of the areas around Chetumal and Bacalar, both very close
to the Belize border, to be very poignant.
Shuman describes how those areas (as well as others in the
Yucatan) had changed since Graham's last visit ten to fifteen years
earlier—how the introduction of modern technology in both
communications and even archaeological research and restoration was
changing the face of the countryside and the lives of the people.
Having traveled in that part of the Yucatan some twelve years
ago, I couldn't help but wonder if I might feel the same bittersweet
emotions that the fictional Alan Graham did.
As always, Shuman spins a good tale of
archaeological mystery—this time revolving around several murders that
may be linked to the presence of jungle dwelling drug runners.
Or the murders may be linked more directly to archaeological
theory—specifically the presence of a crewmember who espouses the
heretical theory of diffusionism, i.e., the presence of non-Amerindian
people in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus!
Shuman, who holds a doctorate in anthropology from Tulane
University, has a bit of fun exploring the possibility of academic feuds
as a potential motive for murder.
You can't go wrong with an Alan Graham
archaeology mystery when it comes to light, enjoyable reading.
Pick up The Last Mayan, or even better yet, begin with the
first entry in the series, The Meriwether Murder and work your
way up to The Last Mayan.

One Chinese vegetable that I always miss when I'm in London is green garlic, which the Sichuanese call suan miao 蒜苗 and people in other parts of China call qing suan 青蒜. These leafy, pungent alliums are the most common vegetable accompaniment to twice-cooked pork 回锅肉, and are also traditionally added to mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐. In Hunan, they are often used in simple stir-fries, perhaps with some of the glorious local smoked pork 腊肉. It's rare to find them in England, so imagine my delight to find them on sale just before the Chinese New Year! You can see them on the righthand side of the chopping board in the picture on the left. As you will notice, they look very similar to Chinese green onions (a.k.a. scallions, spring onions), but they have flat leaves, like leeks, and a hint of purple around their bulbs. In my Sichuan cookery book I recommended using baby leeks for twice-cooked pork and spring onions for mapo tofu because green garlic is so rarely available, but if you can find it, snap it up and use it instead! (it takes rather less time to cook than baby leeks, and marginally longer than spring onions).
On the lefthand side of the board are garlic stems (known confusingly as suan tai 蒜薹 in Sichuan, suan miao 蒜苗 in Hunan and suan xin 蒜芯 in at least some Cantonese areas. In China, they are often sold complete with their little bulbs on the top of each stem; here in England, where they can be found in some Chinese greengrocers, they are usually trimmed and bulbless. Raw, they have a strong and forthright pungency, but when you stir-fry them they become sweet and mellow. They are heavenly stir-fried with cured meats or firm pressed tofu.

Thunder Ridge Emu Maintenance Plus acts as a barrier, keeping irritants away from the skin while binding moisture to the skin. Thunder Ridge Emu Maintenance Plus with 100% Pure Emu Oil is a favorite among health care professionals!
Maintaining hydration, skin integrity and elasticity is essential for the prevention of dry skin, scaling and dermatitis which could lead to the formation of ulcers and pressure sores. Due to lack of circulation, keeping the skin lubricated will always be a problem for bed-bound patients, diabetics, wheelchair patients, people undergoing chemotherapy and older adults. However, the hyper-oxygenation of Essential Fatty Acids helps increase the blood flow, improving circulation and speeding up the healing process. In addition to the prevention of skin breakdown, the topical application of Thunder Ridge Maintenance Plus is an excellent way of reducing friction while preventing water loss and skin dehydration.
What Is Emu Oil?Emu Oil is an ancient healing tool first used by the Native Peoples of Australia to treat the skin, muscles, scalp/hair and joints. The oil is a base for a multitude of products including emu oil soap, massage oil, lotions and lip balm.

As we approach the NBA trade deadline, teams are trying to find a partner to make a swap with and the Minnesota Timberwolves have proven to be one of the more active front offices in the last 48 hours. But while the team has been on the phone with numerous teams, general manager David Kahn isn't convinced that he'll be able to find a trade partner before tomorrow's deadline.
The Wolves are offering draft picks and Brandon Roy in possible trades but all offers have been rejected at this point. The biggest potential trade the Wolves have been involved in at this point was with the Denver Nuggets. The Wolves have been eyeing Timofey Mozgov and offered Brandon Roy in a package but the Nuggets rejected the offer as Roy's knee scared them off.
Roy isn't the only player the Wolves have made available as the team is shopping guards J.J. Barea and Luke Ridnour as well as forward Derrick Williams. Minnesota has reportedly ben interested in Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick but the Magic are requesting too much in return for him and a trade seems unlikely at this point. Orlando is asking for a first round pick and Derrick Williams in exchange for Redick and the Wolves are uncomfortable with giving up that much for a guy that could end up being just a half-season rental.
O.J. May is on the Wolves radar but the Mavericks have rejected ever offer the Wolves have thrown at them. Andrei Kirilenko is a guy the Wolves have been on the phone constantly with other teams about, but Minnesota will only move him for an offer that blows them away. The hope is that Kirilenko picks up his player option for next season and by not trading him the Wolves are showing they're confident he will.
A lot can change in the next 24 hours but as it stands now the Wolves have come close to making trades but likely won't be able to make one unless they're willing to part ways with Kirilenko or give up some assets to land Courtney Lee, who is a guy they've showed interest in this past summer and continue to show an interest in now ahead of the deadline.

This has been one of those wacky weather weeks where no matter how bright the sky is outside, we just want to stay indoors. One of the sheer comforts we enjoy during chilly temperatures is a warm mug of hot chocolate. The radiation of heat as our hands cradle the ceramic, the steam rising to our faces as we lift to take a sip and the marshmallow mustache we can rarely avoid. We rounded up a few piping cups of joy for you to sip on this weekend.

If you like pina coladas, then head to Margaritaville. Chocolate and coconut on the other hand, is offered a few strides from Centennial Park at Park Bar. Their "Hot Coco Lada" is a boozy mix of hot chocolate, Parrot Bay coconut rum and banana liqueur. A warm cup of this is a great companion while you stroll around the park.

7 shots on the first day? Common courtesy is to only kill him 5 times per day, per character, so that everybody in your party gets the full 5 chances. If you go back with another group to get a few extra attempts, you're stealing from all of them by giving them each one fewer attempt than they are entitled to - just for the sake of selfishly increasing your own number of attempts.

Food: Good, Bad or Ugly
Starts: 24 April 2013
If you missed this event, read all about it here
The Culture, Imagination and Practice (CIP) and Medicine, Science and Culture (MeSC) research groups at SOCSI are hosting this roundtable session
2.00pm - 4.30pm, Wednesday 24th April
In the current climate, food - especially in relation to health - is a controversial topic, particularly in light of the horse meat fiasco. This session will be a space in which contributors from different areas will be sharing their perspective on the issue of food. This will be followed by an open discussion whereby all contributors and attendees will be able to discuss this topic further.
Guest contributors include Lara Bell (The London Food Project/LSE), Ian Purcell (The Cardiff Foodbank), Dr. Martin O'Neill (WISERD) and Jess Paddock (Sustainable Places Research Institute).
Drawing on her research exploring the food of differing nationalities in London, Lara Bell will highlight the transcendental nature of food and its power to bring together all people of diverse cultures. Ian Purcell will discuss the current situation of food distribution and availability in relation to the work of the Cardiff Foodbank. Dr. Martin O'Neill will speak about his research capturing the barriers to healthy eating that emerge in working-class environments. Jess Paddock will discuss her research which explores sustainable food and class division.
Please contact Sophie Davies (firstname.lastname@example.com), Gareth Thomas (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Rebecca Dimond (email@example.com) for more information and to register. All postgraduate students, staff, and researchers are welcome to come along. We hope to see you there.

This name game requires only a pencil, paper, and a wild imagination. To play, simply take the letters of your name and mix them up to spell a new name. (For help, try the anagram maker at Wordsmith.org.) Then, come up with a description that fits your secret identity. On our staff, we've uncovered old Gramma Kennat (Mark Mantegna), bass player Reggae H. Finey (Ginger Heafey), and villainous Warhead Boy (Deborah Way).
For a twist, have each person write a famous person's name on a slip of paper and then pick a name at random to anagram. You just might discover Harrison Ford's secret life as the penitent Friar Hosnord.

Past Touring Exhibitions
Almanac: The Gift of Ann Lewis AO
Almanac is an exhibition that provides an extraordinary road map of Australian art practice over the last 50 years, shaped by the vision of one of Australia's best regarded collectors and arts supporters, Ann Lewis AO. Ann Lewis worked tirelessly throughout her lifetime to raise the profile of Australian artists abroad, and to bring international artists to local audiences. Her roles as collector, philanthropist and gallerist led to the development of a collection built at the forefront of cultural production and mirrors the deeply personal relationships Ann Lewis enjoyed with a diverse array of artists. Tracing changes in taste, influence, styles and ideas, Almanac reflects a collection with depth and currency. Veering across time and location, it is comprised of paintings, photographs sculptures, ceramics and prints including several works which are on public display for the first time.
Artists featured in the exhibition were: Hany Armanious, Ralph Balson, Curley Barduguba, Ian Burns, Robert Ambrose Cole, Timothy Cook, Richard Dunn, Mikala Dwyer, John Firth-Smith, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori, Rosalie Gascoigne, Callum Innes, Kitty Kantilla, Robert Klippel, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Ildiko Kovacs, Rosemary Laing, Jon Lewis, Marrirra Marawili, George Milwulurrurr, Rosella Namok, Dorothy Napangardi, Jimmy Ngalakurn, Bobby Barrdjaray Nganmirra, Robert Owen, Gloria Petyarre, Robert Rauschenberg, Neil Roberts, Lola Ryan, Ricky Swallow, Walala Tjapaltjarri, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula, Wukun Gathinikpa Wanambi, Judy Watson, Louise Weaver, Timothy Wulanjbirr and Anne Zahalka.
The exhibition was supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government Program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of cultural material across Australia.
Simryn Gill: Gathering
The work of Simryn Gill considers questions of place and history, and how they might intersect with personal and collective experience. Using objects, language, and photographs, her work conveys a deep interest in material culture, and in the ways that meaning can transform and translate into different contexts. Through the reinterpretation or alteration of existing objects, the photographing of specific locations, and the forming of collections, Gill contemplates how ideas and meanings are communicated between, people, objects, and sites.

Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro are Australian artists who transform the residue of consumer society, re-imagining the forms and systems that surround us. Interrogating ideas of home, aspiration, mobility and the acquisition of material goods, their work is characterised by a playful reinvention of prefabricated structures and the assemblage of everyday objects into extraordinary sculptures and installations. Healy and Cordeiro's first museum survey, this exhibition brings together a selection of key works from the past 10 years. Demonstrating the depth and diversity of their practice, it comprises both monumental and intimate pieces in a variety of media including sculpture, installation and photography.

GOP Congressman Seizes On Lerach Sentencing To Highlight Securities Bill
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, intends to re-introduce legislation today that would reform class securities legislation.
His timing, just a day after William Lerach, formerly of securities class action firm Milberg Weiss, was sentenced to two years in prison (subscribers can see the Daily Journal's print edition for the full story), is not coincidental.
The firm imploded after allegations that it gave kickback payments to some of its clients.
Lerach is the latest former partner to plead guilty in relation to the investigation.
It's not likely that Hensarling's bill, the Securities Litigation Attorney Accountability and Transparency Act, will make much of a dent in a Democratic-controlled Congress.
Former Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., who recently resigned from Congress, had championed a version of the bill in the 109th Congress and failed to make any progress, even when Republicans were in charge.
He also introduced the bill in the current Congress before he resigned.
But Hensarling, pictured right, backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, obviously saw the Lerach sentencing as a good opportunity to highlight the issue.
The bill would require plaintiffs attorneys working on securities cases to disclose payments, fees, and political contributions, among other things.
"Recent, well-documented, cases of abuse in this arena have underscored the necessity of such legislation, and it is my hope that the provisions contained in this bill will restore shareholders' faith that the days of jackpot justice fraud are over," Hensarling said.
Incidentally, the reason Baker left Congress was to to take up a lucrative post at the Managed Funds Association.

G'day mezod & a very warm Welcome to the very best WW1 Aero Forum.
Many great people here including many well respected Historians & Authors!
I endorse all the recommendations made in previous posts. All of Peter Hart's 3 Books, "Bloody April", "Somme Success" & "Aces Falling" are excellent overviews of those periods of the War.
Cecil Lewis
's "Sagittarius Rising" is an absolute Classic & anything by Peter Kilduff is excellent.
You might also like to have a look at the Osprey series of "Aces" books.
These feature lots of photos, Colour Profiles & stories of the pilots who flew the Aircraft (e.g. Camel Aces of WW1, Albatross Aces of WW1 etc). These are available from Amazon but also specialist Aviation Booksellars. Osprey also issue an Aviation Elite Unit series covering such units as 56 Sqd. RFC/RAF, the Flying Circus, Jasta Bolcke & some new ones due shortly by Greg Van Wyndgarden who is a Forum Member.
One suggestion is to use the "Search" facility if you have any specific interests. That will take you through Archive Posts on the subject.
Good Luck & Enjoy your visits.
Regards Barry H.
Its a fine line indeed between going out in a Blaze of Glory or having Crashed & Burnt!

Senator Richard Shelby stopped in Huntsville Monday before heading back to Washington, D.C. He spoke at a breakfast put on by the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce.
There were nearly a thousand people at the breakfast. Shelby gave an update on what is happening in our nation's Capitol. He also answered questions from the crowd.
Most people had questions relating to the economy. Shelby said Madison County is the 67th county that he has visited since January and that the number one topic people have questions about is about the economy.
He also talked about gun control, North Korea's threats, and immigration reform.
The senator said he hasn't seen the details of the proposed immigration reform bill that could be unveiled this week, but he believes the solution lies in protecting our borders.
"We don't enforce our border. We don't protect our border and people come here illegally and later we say, 'oh well they've been here, maybe they should stay,' but we're supposed to be a nation of laws," Shelby said.
He left right after the meeting to head back to Washington, D.C. Copyright 2013 WAFF. All rights reserved.

Zakk's Sports Smack: Who Needs a Villain?
Good vs. Evil.
The conflict between the two polar opposites has been the epicenter for, among other things, religious lessons, Hollywood drama and sports allegiances. For every "white hat" indentifying the honorable, there needs to be a "black hat" to represent the outlaws.
It's difficult to be a fan of a sports team without being a dedicated "hater" for another. The dislike that Boston Red Sox fans have for the New York Yankees (and vice-versa) has been well documented. So has the line in the sand that's been drawn between fans of the Dallas Cowboys and those of the Washington Redskins, the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes, Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons, Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadians and countless other rivals.
Most often, who represents the "good" and the "bad" is solely dependent on which side you are on. But for every hero we worship in sports, we typically have a villain to despise.
Or, so I once thought.
My original, and still my most dedicated, sports allegiance belongs to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While watching the Steelers through the 1970's (who would later be tagged the 'Team of the Decade'), there were many other rivals to despise. There were the Oakland Raiders who we thought were dirty and cheaters, the Dallas Cowboys who were flashy and arrogant as well as the Houston Oilers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, who were nothing less than division-rivals.
Having someone to cheer against while rooting for your team makes following a sport more interesting and when your team clashes with their commonly hated opponent, the stakes for winning become even higher. (Just ask any Indiana Hoosier or Purdue Boilermaker fan.)
Recent events, however, indicate that the lure of sports intrigue may no longer need a Cain for their Abel, a Joker for their Batman or even a Rocky for their Drago. Having a likeable opponent doesn't lessen the desire to conquer in modern games. It's no longer needed when our country plays against the world or when our nation plays the biggest game in the world.
Thirty-years ago the Winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid, New York. "U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!..." we'd cheer for the United States hockey team. But we might as well been chanting "F.A.Q.! F.A.Q.! F.A.Q.!..." (Or something that had a similar phonetic sound when pronounced together as one word) to the team in red wearing the letter's CCCP on their hockey jerseys.
We loved the Americans winning gold during the Miracle on Ice because of how much we hated the Russians. Since the cold war ended, we've become indifferent to the nation, and athletes, we once abhorred.
In the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, once again we cheered the American's on ice but this time our "rivals" were the team from Canada.
Since when do we hate the Canadians?
We don't, and that's just my point.
The last time I crossed the northern border I was subject to less hassle and search than I got when driving from Nevada into California. (State police said they needed to be sure I didn't have any live firearms, dead bodies, fruits or vegetables in the car. No kidding.)
Just days after the United States upset Canada in the preliminary round of the Olympic hockey tournament, how many of us Americans found ourselves rooting for Canadian skater, Joannie Rochette, after learning her mother unexpectedly died days before her scheduled routine in the women's short program?
Television ratings for the 2010 Winter Olympics have been strong, despite our lack of hatred toward other countries. And so too was the viewership of another recent sports spectacle.
When the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, it was the most watched television program, ever. An estimated 106.5 million people saw the Colts play the Saints but, to anyone not already aligned with one of the participating teams, which of those upstanding, likeable teams was playing the part of the villain?
Was it the Indianapolis Colts?
I doubt it. Unless there is now jealousy toward Indy for the success they've enjoyed in the past decade.
Was it the New Orleans Saints?
Um, certainly not. A disaster devastated their city in 2005, which was then followed by resilience and a renaissance, turned (for now) the Saints into "America's Team".
Americans love their games and still hate their enemies. We just no longer need to dislike our opponents in order to be able to support our home teams.Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

On the eve of World War Two Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman), a British aristocrat, inherits a vast cattle station in Northern Australia. When her land is threatened by English settlers, she and grizzled drover (Hugh Jackman) are faced with a gruelling cattle drive, across hundreds of miles of harsh terrain to safety near the city of Darwin. Unfortunately, their eventual arrival coincides with the outbreak of war in the Far East and the Japanese bombing of Darwin. Over the course of the arduous journey, Lady Sarah and the drover become entwined in a grand passion that fires them both with the courage and resolve they need to confront the future. Baz Luhrmann here emulates the scale of classic romances such as 'Gone With The Wind' and 'The English Patient' in this tale of love and adversity in the face of war. With a stellar cast and gorgeous cinematography, 'Australia' does full justice to the rich, fascinating history of the land and people that inspired it.
