Behind the Reflection 2: Witch's Revenged continues the story of a young mother who is trying to protect her son from an evil witch. Although, the mother has managed to save her son form the grasps of the witch before, the witch has broken out of prison and is now looking for revenge. When the witch shows up at their house one night and takes the boy's soul into the dimension within the mirror, the mother realizes that she will have to embark on another dangerous mission if she ever hopes to see her son again.
As you progress through the game, you'll search through a ton of hidden object scenes searching for items that will help you on your journey. Many puzzles will have to be solved in certain areas, and you'll have to find out where and when you'll need the extra items in your inventory. You can receive hints when you get stuck, and a hint meter will then slowly refill for the next time you'll need to use it. And of course, you'll find some really beautiful artwork and a really enchanting soundtrack that you've come to expect from Alawar.
One of the biggest improvements Behind the Reflection 2: Witch's Revenge makes is in the hidden objects lists. Now rather than always having a list of words to let you know what items you are searching for, a list of pictures will sometimes be provided so you know exactly what you're trying to find in the hidden scenes. This improvement simply makes an already fun game that much better.
Behind the Reflection 2: Witch's Revenge is simply another great game in a long line of fun titles from Alawar. You can download the trial or purchase the full version of the game on the Alawar website. If you've enjoyed any of the previous Alawar hidden object games, don't hesitate to pick up this game!

The Best Startup Advice You'll Ever Receive
Over the past several months, we've noticed a theme among the questions people ask of our Product Hunt LIVE guests—some of the most inspiring and accomplished entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, and entertainers around. Many want to know: What advice would you give your former self? And what is the best advice you've ever been given?
We decided to compile some of the answers. It's interesting to see what themes emerged, but also how unique each person's "best advice" was. Read on for career and life advice gems from some of the most successful people around.
Brit Morin: Start something you're genuinely passionate about.
I think the most important thing is to make sure the business you want to start is something you are *personally* passionate about, not just a big business idea. You have to fight and grind every single day, and you'll be less likely to give up during the hard times if it's something you deeply care about. I tell people all the time that if Brit + Co died tomorrow, I'd still be doing many of the same things. This is a business I can see myself running for the rest of my life. — Brit Morin, Founder & CEO of Brit + Co.
Jack Dorsey: Find good people to support you.
Reflect on what drives you and what you're naturally passionate about. And find good people to support you. — Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter & Square.
Doug Menuez: Align your passion with how you make a living.
Align your passion with how you make a living. In the end it's all about what you are willing to do to accomplish your dreams, to use your potential. Life is too short to not stop and figure out what you care about and go do that. That's also the secret to happiness :). But it's really hard of course and can take years to get there, if ever. — Doug Menuez, Documentary photographer/Filmmaker
Ben Casnocha: What you decide to do with your life will change over time
When it comes to the question "What should I do with my life?," you often hear three different common pieces of advice. Some say, "Play to your strengths." In other words, figure out what you're good at, and go do that. Some say, "Follow your passion." In other words, figure out what you like to do, and build a life around that. And then others say, "Figure out what the market needs and go do that." This is the "tiger mom" approach (i.e. There's a nursing shortage in California? Go become a nurse.).
What's problematic is that each of these common pieces of advice, when taken on their own, is insufficient. What if your passion is playing the violin or something else that's awfully hard to monetize? Or what if you're not passionate about what you're good at? And if you just pursue a career based on what the market needs, you may not be able to do it for very long because you may not enjoy it.
This is why in The Start-up of You, we talk about developing a competitive advantage by intersecting all three considerations: your assets (strengths), aspirations (values, passions, etc), and the market realities. Fit those three puzzle pieces together to arrive at a smart "Plan A" for your career. How can you leverage your strengths to achieve some of your aspirations while navigating the realities around you? You'll necessarily have to trade off on some things along the way. For example, I love writing and am decent at it, but it's so hard to monetize writing ability on its own; so I integrated that skill/strength into an arena where the market realities are more favorable (business).
Finally, the answers to any of these questions will change. Your assets change. Your aspirations change. The market changes. You always have to iterate on your plans to account for these changes. There's no one right, permanent answer to the question. — Ben Casnocha, Co-author of The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age
Molly Graham: Listen to what your gut says. Trust it.
Wait for the moment when your gut or your heart makes itself VERY clear about hard decisions. The other thing…you should ALWAYS follow wonderful people that you want to learn from more than almost anything else in your career. I have been so lucky to get to learn from many, many amazing people. — Molly Graham, COO, Quip
James Altucher: Think about what you were interested in as a kid.
There's never that "one thing" you are supposed to be doing. Don't forget—the average multi-millionaire (and this is from tax data) has seven different sources of income, at least. But one start is to think about all of the things you were interested in from the ages of 6–18. How does that translate into the modern day today? If you loved writing, maybe self-publish a book. If you loved stocks, think about finance. If you loved computers, think about coding—and so on. I find our passions at the age of 10 tend to age gracefully with us and grow with the times, but we often forget them in law school, says. — James Altucher, Entrepreneur, Podcaster, and Bestselling Author.
Daniel Pink: Advice for college students (and all of us)
- Try all kinds of new stuff. Don't get locked into thinking you have to do certain things. Take courses in subjects you've never heard of. Join groups that push you out of your comfort zone.
- The secret to college is relationships. Seriously. Curriculum and the formal stuff are useful only as mechanisms for forging connections to others. So chat up people at the dining hall. Go to your professors office hours. — Daniel Pink, Author of Drive, A Whole New Mind, and To Sell is Human
Kimmy Scotti: Don't worry so much!
I think I would have told myself ten years ago to just worry less. I was so focused on my work/company/etc. that I didn't stop to look around and realize how fun it all was in the process. Now I am more present—at the end of a busy day, even when it's a really, really hard one, I'm super grateful for the work I get to do. — Kimmy Scotti, General Partner at Formation 8
Andrew Chen: Find your superpower
Learn to be T-shaped; be good at a bunch of stuff, but then have a clear superpower where you're world class. To be world class at something, you'll have to work on a single thing night and day for years. Spend time writing and reflecting—more than reading, and more than reading tweets. It's good to blend your work and your hobbies; that says you enjoy your work enough to do it all the time. Don't sell your time for a living. — Andrew Chen, Supply Growth, Uber
Ken Norton: Write your resume 10 years from now
Jonathan Rosenberg, former SVP of Product at Google, used to ask all the product managers on his team to write their resumes in 10 years. Where do you want to be? I was skeptical until I did it. I realized pretty quickly that my resume in 10 years didn't say "CEO." I didn't want to be a CEO. But I hadn't explicitly stated that, and in many ways the PM career path defaults to the CEO career path. Knowing I wanted something different helped me be more deliberate about my career decisions and communicating my goals to others. — Ken Norton, Partner, Google Ventures
Kathryn Minshew: "No" is often just the starting point
The best piece of advice I ever received was that "no" is often just the starting point, and most careers worth having involve a fair amount of determination, grit, and just general "try try again"-ing. That's been true ten times over at The Muse, and I'm so glad I learned it early! — Kathryn Minshew, Founder & CEO, The Muse
Jeff Atwood: Whatever you want to do, start yesterday
Whatever you want to do, start yesterday. Start earlier. Start NOW. The sooner you start, the sooner you can reap the benefits or figure out that it isn't going to work. And you won't need to wonder "what if" because you did it already. There is nothing more painful than the "what ifs" you carry around inside your head. So act on them! Now! DO IT! JUST DO IT! — Jeff Atwood, Co-founder of StackExchange and Discourse

Goodbye, Norma Jean
In her lifetime, Marilyn Monroe created some iconic images the infamous 1949 Playboy nude, the revealing and playful film still from The Seven Year Itch, the Warhol pop art, and Richard Avedon's troubled 1957 portrait. None are sadder and more poignant than the shots snapped by legendary fashion and celebrity portrait photographer Bert Stern. Over three days in June 1962, Stern photographed Monroe 2,500 times. The collection, titled The Last Sitting, captures a nude Marilyn posed with veils, sheer scarves in various patterns, and opulent necklaces. Sterns camera reveals a softly lit cinematic idol with glassy eyes and the countenance of an angel in peril. She passed away only six weeks later.
Since then, Sterns images have become the stuff of legend. In 1992, the photos from The Last Sitting were published in their entirety including the contact sheets Monroe herself crossed out in disapproval. This year Stern re-created the most famous shots with eternally on-the-edge actress Lindsay Lohan, drawing disturbing parallels between the deceased icon and her heir apparent. The original 1962 photos recently sold at Christies for a whopping six figures, but local fans of Marilyn Monroe and iconic images can see them today at the Opera Gallery in Bal Harbour Shops. The exhibit, Pop and Photography, showcases Sterns work alongside pop art masters such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, Wesselman, Indiana, Ramos, and Scharf. The exhibit runs from this Monday through January 10. Call 305-868-3337, or visit www.operagallery.com.

Now some of the art fans who braved freezing weather outside his temporary "grotto" in Oxford Street have made a killing by auctioning them off.
The limited edition black and white images, called Flag, were originally put on sale on 18 December in aid of a charity which provides cataract operations for children in Bangladesh. They sold out within two hours, but scores of them have since been put up on eBay, raising over £400 apiece.
One print had attracted 23 bids and raised £410 with two hours of its auction to go - more than quadrupling the owner's investment. The item was on sale from an address in South Ockenden, from a seller known as "magnetandsteel_reillyone".
The sales reflect a trend for shoppers to make a profit on rare items. The Nintendo Wii console was selling for four times its retail price on eBay because of scarcity in shops.
The eBay auctioneers selling on the Banksy prints are anonymous but artist Carlo Raffa, 33, from Brighton, who was first in line to buy one, said he planned to sell his on eBay.
He was disappointed by the piece as it was "machine-printed with no signature or number".
But another buyer, Cathryn Taylor, 24, from Tooting, said: "Banksy is anti-capitalist and wouldn't want people to buy his pieces just to sell on for profit."

Matching family tree profiles for Gerret Cornelisse Van Newkirk (Van Nieuwkirk)
Immediate Family
About Gerret Cornelisse Van Newkirk (Van Nieuwkirk)
The passenger list of the Moseman, 25 April 1659, contained the entry: "Gerrit Corn van Niew-kerk, and Wife and boy and sucking child." The boy was his brother Mattheus, aged about 12 years. Following a custom, somewhat common in Holland families after arrival in New Netherland, the brothers were more or less known as Gerret (or Gerrit) Cornelisse and Mattheeus Cornelisse. the children of the elder brother, Gerrit, appear in official records of Ulster County and those of the Kingston Dutch Church as van Nieukirk and Niuwkirck, or Nieuwkerck, without the van prefix.
Those of the younger brother, Mattheus, adhered to the prefix and are on official and church records of Bergen County, New Jersey, as van Nieuwkirk or van Nieuwkerck.
The descendants of both later changed the surname spelling and, in the fourth generation, Newkirk became the prevailing form. Some branches of the family continued the spelling Nieukirk to the present day and these, it would appear, all descend from Gerret Cornelisse's grandson, Cornelius Nieukirk, who so wrote his surname, and who moved to Salem County, New Jersey, about the year 1718.
Gerret Nieuwkirk promptly secured a home lot at Midwout, Long Island, which he sold after a few years. Bergen's Early settlers of King's county, New York gives the following brief account of this transaction:

- **************************************************************************************
The Newkirk family is a anicent one, and, like most other families of Teutonic origin, the name has undergone many changes in its long journey to its present way of spelling with but seven letters. The first authentic record of any member of this family is found in the histories of the Lower Rhine regions of Germany, there being towns named Neukirchen in both the counties of Grevenbrock and Moers.
We find the name Newkirk mentioned in a document as early as 1153 and from 1350 many of the Newkirks were property owners in their native places in Germany. The name most generally appears as Neukirchen, and by this name we find many German arrivals in this country, even to the present day. In 1599 we find Gottfried Neukirch mentioned and Arnold Heinrich Neukirk, professer of Theology, is mentioned historically about the same time. The writers on the subject of heraldry advise us about our shield, and coat of arms. One of these writers has contributed the following to our family lore:
VAN NEUKIRCHEN,called NYVENHEIM. "The continuous line of this very old family of Julich, begins with the ancestor John Von Neukirchen, Lord of Neuraidt in Oclen, who married, in 1403, Anna Van Nyvenheim, heiress of Gerode, by reason of which it came to pass that their descendants bore the united names and arms of both families. From Julich the family went to the Lower Rhine, acquired inthe course of time many hreditary offices, and much wealth, and furnished a number of Knights and Commanders to the German order.
One branch removed to the Netherlands, while the other remained in the Rhine region. Walter Gogfried van Neukirchen, called Nyvenheim, in the thirteenthgeneration of the continuous geneologic, Lord of Drieberg,Kessel,Mook and Musschienborg,was, by his wife, Elberyina Van Tengnagel van Gillikum, whom he married in 1703, the ancestor of the present branch of the family living in France."
Thus it is seen that our family of ancient origin had spread to three countries, Germany, France and Holland, many centuries ago. The branch of the family to which we trace our lineage located to Holland, but at what date has not been ascertained, it is our belief, however, that the family had resided in Holland for more than two hundred years before our progenitor came to America.
The date of the coming of the Newkirk family to the United States is definitly fixed. Garret Cornelissen Van Nieuwkercke, who with his " wife, boy and sucking child," arrived on the Holland ship "Moesman" April 25, 1659, was the first. He was a son of Mattheuse Cornlissen Van Nieuwkercke, of Slechenhorst, Gelderland, Holland, born about 1600. The date of the birth of Garret has not been secured, but it was about 1635.
He married Chieltje (Charlotte) Cornelis. Upon his arrival in this country he located at Flatbush, Long Island, and secured a small tract of land which he sold March 10th, 1665. This tract consisted of eighteen morgens, 36 acres, is in the heart of the City of Brooklyn, and there are buildings on some of it costing millions of dollars. Newkirk street runs through the tract, and that is all that is left to show that Garret ever lived thereabouts. After selling his land at Flatbush, Garret located at Hurley, Ulster County, N.Y., where he and wife died at dates unknown........

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Shane Larkin and ninth-ranked Miami now have the program's first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship to go with its first regular-season title.
Trey McKinney Jones added a career-high 20 for the top-seeded Hurricanes (27-6), including the go-ahead 3-pointer from the left corner with 6:27 left that started Miami's final push to secure the program's first ACC tournament title.
In a terrific back-and-forth game filled with big shots, the Hurricanes finally slowed P.J. Hairston and the third-seeded Tar Heels (24-10) enough down the stretch to secure what amounted to a road win in front of UNC's home-state crowd.
Hairston scored 28 points and had six of the Tar Heels' 13 3-pointers, one shy of tying the program's tournament record. But it wasn't enough to secure UNC's first ACC title since 2008 nor coach Roy Williams' 700th career victory.

Location: Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
The objective of this cooperative research project is to operate a fall and winter rice nursery for the purpose of advancing plant generations and seed increase.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
The Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center (DBNRRC) of the USDA, ARS, SPA will provide rice seed stock for increase and harvest the plots. The Cooperator will plant and manage the research plots during the growing season.
3. Progress Report
The Puerto Rico winter nursery was successfully used to advance four rice mapping populations and other materials for seed increase, and to rejuvenate germplasm seed stocks. Two populations, including 438 recombinant inbred lines that are being used to identify chromosomal regions linked with resistance genes for blast disease, were advanced to the F8 generation. Two other populations, including 600 individuals of recombinant inbred lines, were advanced to the F6 generation for the objective of identifying genes that will improve the nutritional value of rice. Other materials included 114 accessions of the USDA rice core collection, 74 accessions of the USDA rice mini-core collection, and 10 accessions of aromatic germplasm. A number of core and mini-core accessions are too late to mature properly in the Arkansas environment, and thus the Puerto Rico location facilitates production of seed of these materials so that they can be deposited in the Genetic Stock Oryza (GSOR) and NSGC Collections. The aromatic accessions, including a wild type and nine derived mutants, and hundreds of other breeding lines were characterized and harvested for further genetic study. The cooperator accurately planted the materials, managed the field during the growing season, provided facilities and expertise for harvesting and processing the seed, and coordinated seed inspection with APHIS authorities prior to shipment of the seed to Arkansas. This project was monitored through quarterly phone calls and email correspondence, as well as two on-site visits.

The hospitality of the owners is the greatest part of staying at the Triple Tiger! The owners were extremely friendly, giving me recommendations for where to go, what to do, and what to eat (and not eat) in the city, and they gave me several travel guides for free. When I checked in and out, I ended up talking to the owners for about an hour each time to learn more about Taiwan and them, and they were warm and friendly throughout my stay. The location makes you feel at home in the city too!

1) It is possible to get pregnant after bio chemical pregnancy. 2) As rubella is a live vaccine you need to wait around 2 months before you get pregnant. 3) Check for urinary infection by doing a urine culture.

Demarco Cobbs — who shifted to linebacker — Adrian Phillips, Quandre Diggs, Mykkele Thompson and Duke Thomas were all better known for their abilities on the offensive side of the ball coming out of high school, and all have spent time in Akina's "DBU" group. The appeal of putting a star offensive player back on defense isn't exactly new: typically in high school, teams put their best athletes on offense to generate points. So by swapping them over, often there's an influx of speed, and maybe even more importantly for defensive backs, ball skills.
It's against this canvass that you have to look at Texas's most recent commitment, Livingston athlete Chevoski Collins. Collins is an interesting player in that he lacks ideal size for a safety, but as a high school quarterback, almost certainly has the ball skills. And his athleticism and fluidity are definitely plusses as well.
The easiest comparison to make for Collins is Adrian Phillips. Both project as good college receivers, but — assuming things don't change with Collins — started their college careers off on defense. Akina loves bigger, more physical corners, and Collins is a guy who can fill that role with some pop in his pads. At safety, where he's projected to start, he should be able to use his ball skills and ability to break on the ball to create some turnovers and become a tough guy to throw against when he's playing a centerfield role. And he could certainly slide into that hybrid nickel-back spot that Aaron Williams, Kenny Vaccaro and Phillips have played well over the last few years.
That skill set also complements that of prior Texas commitment Erik Huhn well. Huhn is more of a search-and-destroy force who should project to strong safety with his outstanding size (6-3 205) and underrated athleticism. While Huhn has outstanding instincts for the position, he doesn't offer as much versatility as Collins does, in terms of being a guy that Akina can plug in at any one of the defensive back spots.
The move could also speak to Texas's feelings about out-of-stater Marcell Harris, who already plays safety and has more natural ability than Collins. The two were really Texas's top remaining targets at the position, and despite Texas sitting in Harris's top two, the Florida Gators, with their outstanding start to the season, may have pulled ahead for his services.
Still, it's not like Collins is a consolation prize. In getting him, the Longhorns land yet another athletic and skilled offensive player who should project well to Akina's group of toys next season.

Best Irish theater offerings for St. Patrick's Day
Thu Mar 17 2011
Photograph by Joan Marcus
Happy St. Patrick's Day! You can either spend the day avoiding hordes of bar-hopping, aggressively cheerful Celtophiles, or you can duck into a theater and enjoy one of many Irish-flavored dramatic offerings the city has to offer. After the jump (and in no particular order), TONY's short list for St. Paddy's Day entertainments.
Bathsheba Doran's cunningly structured relationship drama (pictured above) has a smashing cast and bravura direction by Sam Gold. And it contains three Irish characters and several scenes set in Donegal, Ireland. Sure, there's alcoholism and dysfunctional-family dynamics, but the story doesn't go where you might expect. Get your tickets here.
Arrah-na-Pogue or, the Wicklow Wedding
Storm Theatre and director Peter Dobbins revive Dion Boucicault's 1864 Irish comedy, a jaunty historical romance set during the 1798 Rebellion.
Good People
Mostly set in the working-class neighborhood of South Boston, David Lindsay-Abaire's excellent new play delivers a bittersweet and uncommonly clear-eyed portrait of class divisions within the Irish-American community. Read Adam Feldman's incisive review and then go get tickets.
Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony
Self-described "100 percent Irish Catholic" Griffin has a stand-up show on Broadway that may not be explicitly Celtic in theme, but you can be sure that tonight's act will be full of tasteful observations on drinking, pedophilia and penis size.
Irish writer-performer Raymond Scannell stars in a darkly satirical and occasionally musical one-person play centered on an ace Irish impersonator who returns home to a changed country through this Sunday at the Irish Arts Center.
Project Shaw: Great Catherine and Annajanska, the Wild Grand Duchess
As you should already know, one of Ireland's greatest theatrical heroes has his own monthly series at the Players. Later this month, impresario David Staller presents a double bill of Shaw one-acts about tsarist Russia. Jayne Houdyshell, Hannah Cabell, Richard Easton, Charlotte Parry and Marilyn Sokol are among the cast.

Great Culinary Program
Featured Review
Pros: Reasonably priced, experienced instructors, great place to network
Cons: Many classes have long waitlists
I graduated from OCC several years ago, but I still recommend it to my employees and any young aspiring cooks that I meet. It is a community college, so you won't leave this place drowning in debt. The Chef Instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and very encouraging to their students, and I was able to work full time while going to school as well. I was able to take both their Advanced Culinary Arts program and their Advanced Baking and Pastry program. Many of the students are working students as well, so it is a great place to make contacts for the future. I would say that I've had a pretty successful career so far, I've worked at luxury hotels, restaurants, and with...(read more)

The two teams combined feature 10 of the top 25 women golfers. In the long run it might make more sense to have it North/South America and Europe versus Asia, Africa and Australia/NZ.
legitimatebeef says:
2 teams, 1 cup.
Torleif Sorenson says:
Beef: After the 2000 Solheim Cup, I called into a live show on Golf Channel, suggesting that the Solheim Cup competition be changed into North America vs. The World. Not only would a World Team include golfers from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea, but it would also have made sure that Lorie Kane wasn't left off the team just because she was born in Prince Edward Island.
Torleif Sorenson says:
The drawback, of course, is that if a Solheim Cup were to be held in South Korea, Japan, or Australia, the matches would take place in the middle of the night here in North America — meaning virtually no television audience.

|Ship Quality
|A bit dated but good.
|Food and Dining
The food and service in the Aquarius dining room was excellent - very impressed.
I am not a fan of buffets as the food is never up to par but the international dishes were good.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|I will definitely opt for an ocean view or balcony room the next room as the room was quite claustrophobic.
|Service and Staff
|Everyone was incredibly helpful and cheery.
Would have preferred for the Masquerade to be more of club style as opposed to theater.
I don't remember the name of the act Lo something, but it had the puppets and the drums. Was just awful it was something that I would have taken my niece and nephew to when they were smaller and the performers were arrogant and rude. The other acts were excellent and the ships entertainers were great.

Paterno Pasted in Freeh Report
(Fowl Line News) PSU Football Patriarch Joe Paterno met his Waterloo today in the Freeh Report which among other things finds Paterno knew about the Sandusky allegations since 1998, expressed no concern for Sandusky's victims, exposed more children to Sandusky through inaction and finally alerted Sandusky to the victim he was seen in the shower with, putting his victim at further risk.
Freeh found it inconceivable Sandusky, whose office was "steps away" from Paterno's, wasn't repeatedly and with cause reported to the authorities. Paterno's testimony he was unaware of Sandusky's activities was a bald-faced lie, 14-years elapsed before he uttered that nonsense with a straight face. Paterno's infuriating party line "What Me Worry?" attitude and denials followed him to the grave.
Paterno revealed; an indifferent monster of sorts
It's a damning report for a once respected coach who said all the right things throughout the years but now stands thoroughly discredited by facts and circumstances within his control. I'm not perfect, nobody is, but this is beyond the pale.
This reporter hopes PSU takes great haste in wiping Paterno's name, likeness and legacy from the campus, buildings, and official history of the college. What kind of man would countenance such activities?
Take a Knee
These are some excerpts which remove any doubt about the sequence of events and the continuing conspiracy of silence by all involved:
– Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley – repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large.
Although concern to treat the child abuser humanely was expressly stated, no such sentiments were ever expressed by them for Sandusky's victims.
The evidence shows that these four men also knew about a 1998 criminal investigation of Sandusky relating to suspected sexual misconduct with a young boy in a Penn State football locker room shower. Again, they showed no concern about that victim.
The evidence shows that Mr. Paterno was made aware of the 1998 investigation of Sandusky, followed it closely, but failed to take any action, even though Sandusky had been a key member of his coaching staff for almost 30 years, and had an office just steps away from Mr. Paterno's. At the very least, Mr. Paterno could have alerted the entire football staff, in order to prevent Sandusky from bringing another child into the Lasch Building.
Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley also failed to alert the Board of Trustees about the 1998 investigation or take any further action against Mr. Sandusky. None of them even spoke to Sandusky about his conduct. In short, nothing was done and Sandusky was allowed to continue with impunity. (source: MSNBC)

Sonnen is one of several MMA fighters who are known to use TRT in the past. "The rules are the rules," he said in a Yahoo! Sports report. "Yesterday, it was legal; so quit complaining. Today, it's illegal; so quit complaining. Testosterone is out." The NSAC's decision has forced Vitor Belfort, another TRT user, to withdraw from his middleweight title challenge against UFC champion Chris Weidman. Belfort was supposed to fight Weidman on May 24 but due to time constraints relating to his testosterone therapy, he has decided to bail out from the fight. "As other jurisdictions may follow suit, I am going to drop my TRT program and compete in MMA without it," Belfort said. "Given the time constraints involved between now and my proposed next bout in May, I have determined not to apply for a license to fight in Nevada at this time." Weidman will instead fight former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida.

Deals of the day- Mergers and acquisitions
(Adds Archer Daniel Midlands, Etisalat, Cemex, Ecom, Generali, SSAB, Apax; Updates Greene King)
May 23 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 2000 GMT on Friday:
** Leading global agribusiness group Archer Daniels Midland Co is among the bidders for German drink and food flavours maker Wild in a deal valued at 1.5 billion euros ($2.04 billion), sources familiar with the deal said on Friday.
** Australia's Treasury Wine Estates Ltd, the world's No. 2 wine company, denied it was in talks to be acquired by China's Bright Food Group Co Ltd, the latest potential suitor named in a string of media reports that have sent its share price surging.
Bright Food also denied the report of talks by the Australian Financial Review, which comes just three days after Treasury Wine rejected a A$3.1 billion ($2.9 billion) takeover bid from U.S. private equity firm KKR & Co.
** UniCredit, Italy's biggest bank by assets, is considering the sale of more of its private equity investments managed by its German unit HypoVereinsbank (HVB), its chief executive said on Friday.
A source familiar with the matter said the value of the transaction would be around 1 billion euros ($1.37 billion). Continuación...

A new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times report finds that, "76 percent of Americans think the government should do something to halt the falling dollar. Among those with incomes of $100,000 or more, seven in 10 favoured aiding the currency."
In words, if not in deeds, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson favours a 'strong dollar.' But his counterparts at the Fed, in both deeds and words, clearly do not (see below). For two or three years the weak dollar did not bother Americans because it didn't affect their purchasing power. It only affected people like your editor, who were paid in dollars but lived abroad.
Now that inflation has crept into the American economy with rising food and fuel prices, the real consequences of weak dollar are coming home to roost. And it seems to be bothering Americans psychologically as well as economically.
"It's not just the economic impact," Paul Burt, the head of Westlake Financial Group, tells Bloomberg. "The perception of the decline in the dollar is as important as the decline itself. The dollar needs to be respected in the world, and the government needs to realize that."
The value of all paper currencies is based on perception. If investors perceive that the U.S. dollar is the unbacked liability of a bankrupt government, the dollar will fall to its intrinsic value, which is a lot lower than where you find it today. Demanding respect won't help.
Respect is something you earn. Currencies earn respect when the economies they come from have real savings, high rates of investment and capital formation, and real wealth creation. The monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government are the enemy of real wealth creation. Those policies are impoverishing America, not making it richer. Many Americans are just starting to realise this. And they aren't too happy about it.
They probably wouldn't be too happy if they saw the chart below either. It comes, via http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com, from Fed Governor Janet Yellen. It shows you how much non-tradeable, hard-to-valuable mortgage-backed (and maybe credit-card backed) garbage bonds the Fed has taken custody of through its tool-bag of "lending facilities."
Theoretically, there is no limit to the amount of U.S. Treasuries the Fed can exchange for increasingly dodgy collateral from commercial and investment banks. If it runs out of its stock of Treasuries, it can just print more money. But we reckon that the more depleted the Fed's Treasury stock gets, and the more investors realise new money will have to be printed to purchase bad debt, the worse it will be for the dollar.
"Conditions in financial markets are still far from normal," Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress yesterday. Just how much more abnormal will they get? $300 billion worse? $500 billion worse? Worse?
Nobody knows. But three years from now, we reckon gold will be higher, the dollar will be lower, and Australia will still be lucky.

STXNEWS LATAM-Brazil corporate delinquencies rise in February -Serasa
Corporate delinquencies in Brazil, from defaults on bank loans to unpaid utility bills, increased 7.6 percent in February from a year before, credit research company Serasa Experian said on Friday.
The rise, mainly due to higher interest rates and weak economic growth, signals Brazilian companies have had more difficulty this year paying their debts, Serasa said.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday he was "deeply disappointed" by reports that a US journalist jailed in Iran had been charged and denied bail more than four months after his arrest.
Jason Rezaian, a Washington Post bureau chief in Tehran who holds dual US-Iranian citizenship, was charged Saturday after a lengthy court appearance, the Post reports.
But the specific accusations remain unclear, according to the newspaper, and it is not known when he will next appear in court.
Rezaian, 38, was arrested on July 22 with his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, who was freed on bail in October. Last week, Iranian authorities said Rezaian's detention would be extended for up to 60 days.
Kerry said he was "distressed" at how Rezaian's case had been handled, and slammed Iran for flouting the law by denying him access to a lawyer.
"The United States is deeply disappointed and concerned by reports that the Iranian judiciary has charged Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian with unspecified charges, and that the judge denied his request to be released on bail," Kerry said in a statement.
He called on the Iranian authorities to drop the charges "and release him immediately".
Kerry said denying access to an attorney "is a clear violation of Iran's own laws and international norms".
"I am personally dismayed and disturbed at these reports as I have repeatedly raised Jason's case."
According to the Washington Post, Saturday's court hearing lasted 10 hours and Rezaian appeared alongside a translator who explained the charges to him.
The newspaper said Rezaian signed a document signalling that he understood the charges being brought against him.
Kerry said requests to access Rezaian in prison had been denied, and that his family was concerned for his health.
"We share the concerns of Mr Rezaian's family regarding reports that he is under physical and psychological distress, and is not receiving proper medical care," Kerry said.
It remains unclear why Rezaian, 38, and Salehi were arrested on July 22, though one conservative newspaper in Tehran has accused Rezaian of espionage.

By CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH
Published: October 22, 1989
CHICAGO— Used to be, Playboy the company ran on the same devil-may-care principles that Playboy the magazine portrayed. But ever since Christie Hefner joined upper management of the company her father founded in 1953, she has been battling to turn Playboy Enterprises Inc. from Hugh Hefner's ''personality-driven life-style company,'' as she put it, into an ''international media company for the mass market.''
The magazine has not changed all that much - critics call it passe - but the company certainly has. In the last seven years, financial controls and hands-on-management have become an institutionalized way of life at Playboy. And this year, Ms. Hefner's first as chief executive, so has a new type of growth.
In the last few months she has hired a team of young marketers from publishing and television. And she has given them a mandate: Capitalize on the Playboy name - a name second only to Coca-Cola in worldwide recognition - without confining the company to the hedonistic, and somewhat outdated associations that name conjures up.
It has been a costly, wrenching process. Playboy ended its last fiscal year on June 30 nearly $4 million in the red, on sales of $166 million. And profits are not all that have disappeared. Gone are the Playboy clubs, with their gift shops stocked with plastic Playboy swizzle sticks and beer mugs. Gone is the Playboy Channel, whose ''R-rated'' material offended moralists yet disappointed thrill seekers. Gone is Boarts International Inc., the international periodicals distributor. Even part of the art collection has been sold, including two paintings, by Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, that fetched almost $5 million. Debunking the Bunny
But perhaps most significant, gone, too, is the belief that the bunny logo means automatic sales. ''Brand awareness is bunk,'' said William Stokkan, president of licensing and merchandising. ''If that were so important, I would have started a line of Ayatollah Khomeini sportswear years ago. What is important are values a brand name conveys.''
What Christie Hefner, 36 years old, is seeking now is synergy - a ''buzz word'' everyone at the company hates but agrees is aptly applied to their quest for ways to let products draw on one another's strengths. When the Playboy name adds value - as it does on the magazine, on Playboy's European television show, ''Playboy Late Night,'' or on many of the video cassettes - she uses it.
But she has no compunctions about sometimes pushing the name aside. And despite the lack of profits, cash flow has been healthy enough so that Playboy has been able to add many new logos. In the last year or so Playboy has purchased or started Sarah Coventry jewelry, the DuPont Registry magazine for antique car lovers, Critic's Choice home video mail-order catalogue and the syndicated celebrity profile telelvision show ''After Hours.'' Ms. Hefner has no intention of slapping the Playboy name or bunny on any of them. ''We understand how to develop brands, not just Playboy brands,'' she said.
Christie Hefner also knows how to turn a corporate culture upside down. Her father was more interested in setting the magazine's tone - and living its fantasies - than in running the company. ''This was a place of warring fiefdoms, making it impossible to find a unified direction,'' recalled Mr. Stokkan, who has been with Playboy since 1978.
The lack of leadership did little damage during Playboy's formative years. The magazine captivated young men - and a fair share of women - in the 1960's and 70's. It was extremely lucrative, as were Playboy casinos in London and Playboy Clubs around the world.
But in the 80's, the kingdom fell apart. The British Government revoked the London casinos' licenses. Playboy made a foray into cable television that continues to drain cash. Profits plummeted in fiscal 1986, a year in which Playboy had to write off several of its largest Playboy clubs at the same time that it was left with unsecured notes when the buyer of its Atlantic City casino went bankrupt. Worst of all, the magazine's circulation declined from a peak of 7.2 million in 1972, just before it started licensing its 12 foreign editions, to a trough of 3.4 million in 1988.
By the time Ms. Hefner became president in 1982, Playboy was deeply in the red. Company insiders say she did what her father ewould not: She got rid of properties like the clubs that were high in sentimental value but low on profits, dismissed entrenched executives and held the rest financially accountable.
''Under Hef this would have always remained an entrepreneurial company,'' said Richard V. Sowa, president of the video entertainment group and a 17-year company veteran. ''She brought in a degree of professionalism and a sense of management.'' Because Playboy's stock is so thinly traded - Mr. Hefner owns 70 percent, and that will go to Christie Hefner upon his death - few on Wall Street have issued recommendations. But many have followed the company out of curiosity, and most give Ms. Hefner high marks.

Review of hypersonic research investigations in IISc shock tunnel (HST1)

Real gas effects dominate the hypersonic flow fields encountered by modern day hypersonic space vehicles. Measurement of aerodynamic data for the design applications of such aerospace vehicles calls for special kinds of wind tunnels capable of faithfully simulating real gas effects. A shock tunnel is an established facility commonly used along with special instrumentation for acquiring the data for this purpose within a short time period. The hypersonic shock tunnel (HST1), established at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in the early 1970s, has been extensively used to measure the aerodynamic data of various bodies of interest at hypersonic Mach numbers in the range 4 to 13. Details of some important measurements made during the period 1975–1995 along with the performance capabilities of the HST1 are presented in this review. In view of the re-emergence of interest in hypersonics across the globe in recent times, the present review highlights the suitability of the hypersonic shock tunnel at the IISc for future space application studies in India.

"By now almost everyone knows that for decades mortgage dealers insisted that home buyers be able to produce a down payment of 10 percent or more, show a steady income and good credit rating, and possess a real first and last name.

SU Hoops Star Says No To NBA Draft
Those who have been losing sleep over the possibility of Syracuse losing a third starter to the NBA can relax - CJ Fair will be in orange one more season.
Fair, a second team All-Big East selection, said he thought about entering the NBA draft with teammate Michael Carter-Williams. In the end, Fair said he decided to stay after talking it over with his coaches and family. Fair also said that graduating was also one of his goals. It's likely CJ also took stock of where he would have ended up in the draft - reports suggested it could have been anywhere from 22nd to 40th.

Thane, Aug 26 (UNI) A group of unknown miscreants today vandalised a garment shop and scared the shopkeepers around the Naupada locality here.
Following the attack, the shopkeepers around the locality observed a bandh for the day and opened their shops only in the evening.
According to reports, the group of miscreants carried all kinds of weapons and used them freely in the attack.
However, so far no arrest has been made by the police in this connection.
Meanwhile, though there were allegations that the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena(MNS), which had asked the shopkeepers to display the name of their shops in Marathi, has resorted to the attack, the MNS spokesman Rajan Ganvand denied it saying that the MNS had given time till August 28 to the shopkeepers.
If the shopkeepers did not budge by that time, then further course of action would be taken, he said and added that under the present circumstances, the MNS will never resort to such a cowardly act.
