Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG has issued another ABS bond in the USA by its subsidiary Porsche Financial Services Inc. headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, USA, worth approximately 530 million US dollars. The private placement received top grades by rating agencies. The sports car manufacturer already used this kind of refinancing twice in 2011. This time Porsche could significantly reduce its credit spread in comparison to the previous transactions. The current average coupon rate offers with just over half a per cent highly attractive refinancing terms for Porsche. Lutz Meschke, Porsche AG's Chief Financial Officer: "With this transaction we have achieved the lowest coupon rate ever in the US-American ABS lease term market." The investors who purchased the ABS bond were insurance companies, pension funds, banks, asset managers and corporations.
"The overwhelming investor demand is mainly attributable to the confidence in Porsche as an issuer but also a result of perfect market timing", Mr. Meschke continued. Despite ongoing uncertainty on the capital markets, Porsche was able to replicate the successes of its 2011 ABS transactions. "The significant oversubscription of the bondis further evidence for Porsche's high ranking in the ABS bond market", Mr. Meschke added. Given this positive response, the company does not rule out further private placements in the US-American bond market. The transaction was supported by J.P. Morgan and Barclays Capital as book runners and Deutsche Bank and Société Générale as co-managers.

The Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, commonly known as the Soo Line from a phonetic spelling of Sault, helped Minnesota farmers and millers prosper by hauling grain directly from Minneapolis to eastern markets.
Prominent Minneapolis businessmen founded the railroad, originally called the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic, in 1883. But Israel Washburn, governor of Maine and brother of Cadwallader (C.C.) and William Washburn, had proposed such a railroad to the Minneapolis Board of Trade as early as 1873.
William D. Washburn was the railroad's first president and one of its founders, along with Thomas Lowry, Charles Pillsbury, H.T. Welles, John Martin, George R. Newell, Anthony Kelly, C.M. Loring, Clinton Morrison, J.K. Sidle, W.W. Eastman, William D. Hale, and Charles J. Martin. These men paid for the railroad without public money or land grants, which was extremely rare for railroads of the time. Also rare, their railroad had a reputation throughout its history as being free of corruption and irregular business practices.
The railroad's first track ran forty-six miles from Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, to Bruce, Wisconsin. It opened for business in June 1884, leasing connecting track from Turtle Lake to Minneapolis from another railroad, the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha. In 1887, the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic Railroad reached the port of Sault Ste. Marie, allowing grain and flour to be shipped directly from Minneapolis to eastern markets by rail for the first time. Previously, Minneapolis and the surrounding area were at a disadvantage, since Chicago- and Milwaukee-based railroads controlled access to markets in the East. The Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic Railroad broke their stranglehold and set rates more favorable to farmers and millers of the Upper Midwest.
In 1888, the railroad was renamed the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie, often called the Soo Line. New track was built regularly through 1915, expanding the line across the Upper Midwest and into Canada. Canadian Pacific Railway was a majority stock owner in the Soo Line from 1888 on, but the Soo Line continued for years as a separate company, with Thomas Lowry as president.
The primary business of the Soo Line was hauling grain, but the railroad also carried lumber, iron ore, and passengers. In 1909, it took over operations of the Wisconsin Central Railway, signing a ninety-nine-year lease, to further expand its operations in Wisconsin. Both the Soo Line and the Wisconsin Central slid into bankruptcy during the Depression of the 1930s, with the Soo Line recovering first, in 1944.
The railroad continued to haul freight profitably through the 1950s but discontinued its passenger service as competition from automobiles and lack of ridership cut into profits. Local Soo Line passenger routes were stopped first, in 1959, followed by the line's summer vacation routes. The best known of these routes, the Mountaineer, stopped in 1960. The last Soo Line passenger train anywhere along the line traveled between Milwaukee and Calumet, Michigan, in March 1968.
Years before that, in 1961, the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie officially merged with the Wisconsin Central Railway and the Canadian Pacific-controlled Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad. They formed one new company, the Soo Line. This company made money immediately and continued to focus on transporting grain.
In 1985, the Soo Line bought one of its longtime competitors, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific (known as the Milwaukee Road). A large part of the Soo Line spun off to form a new Wisconsin Central in 1987, and in the 1990s, Canadian Pacific Railway took over what was left of the Soo Line, ending its existence as a separate company.

I don't need to reblog NTB's epic instant-classic 25th Hour rant because you've probably already seen it. This isn't long after a GQ article ruffled some feathers by calling BS on streetwear and Park and Bond* called bullshit as well.
The #menswear scene has officially become a target for parody.
I started reading these blogs a year or two ago because I was clueless and wanted to dress better. I've learned a ton and I thank every one of you that's entertained and educated me, all for free. Perhaps it's the novelty wearing off, but there now seems to be a sameness and predictability to my dash that is disheartening. How else could it be so easy to make fun of?
One figures out quickly that there's usable advice, and then there's fashion-consumer-porn. What's the real ratio of people buying Cucinelli to people (re)blogging about it? Wild guess: 1:900.
Maybe I'm still a green-circle noob in a black-diamond world who doesn't "get it". I could just, you know, stop reading and leave. I'm staying behind and complaining, though, because this can actually be FUN and FRESH once again.
Please: stop reblogging photos of some delicate hipster wearing dub-monks and a bowtie. Cut back on the label-whoring, the one-upping and the WIWT narcissism**. More usable info that applies to our real lives, not some Pitti Uomo fantasy. Actual personalities and original content, not just lookbook reblogs.
If "dressed by the internet" is an officially coined phrase, then it's time for the "dressed by the internet" look to die. There's a lot of talk about "finding your personal style". Let's all actually try that instead of wasting money competing in the Online Steez Olympics and posing for attention. How great would that be?
I don't have the answers, but I doubt I'm alone in feeling some malaise. Evolve or die, #menswear.
*Take P&B's advertorial content with a grain of salt, because they're ultimately a Mr Porter knockoff and want you to keep buying their luxury goods.
**The Silentist does a lot of WIWT posts, but he easily gets a pass because it's all part of his personal project, rather than the pointless peacocking found elsewhere.

SOUTH PORTLAND - Like many cherished family traditions, the one started by the Hubbard family 17 years ago has caught on with people outside their clan.
Host Carl Hubbard checks in on Jim and Carol Allen of South Portland on Thursday during the 17th annual Thanksgiving dinner held at VFW Post 832 in South Portland.

Jeremy Cormier of Auburn feeds his 14-month-old son, Ashton, on Thursday during the 17th annual Thanksgiving dinner. VFW Post 832 in South Portland was decked out like a restaurant for the event, with volunteers serving the guests.
Even the volunteers who helped Debi and Carl Hubbard serve up Thanksgiving dinner to hundreds of guests at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall on Thursday say the annual event has become a treasured part of the holiday.
"It's all they've ever known for Thanksgiving," said South Portland police Officer Jim Fahey, referring to his 14-year-old twin daughters, Dianne and Kayla Fahey, who have been joining their dad at the event since they were newborns.
When they were 5, the girls pushed brooms around the dining hall. On Thursday, they were serving up food to many of the 200-plus guests.
"This is different. But we have our own different tradition. We look forward to helping, and meeting people we don't know," Kayla Fahey said.
Aided in the operation by their friend Judy Levesque of Westbrook, the Hubbards prepare and serve a home-cooked meal donated by their employers -- Evergreen Credit Union and Nextel Energy -- as well as the South Portland Police Department and local businesses.
The whole thing "had an odd start," Debi Hubbard admitted. "I was so tired of having to go to two sets of parents' houses and disappointing (whichever house we didn't go to). I said, 'Let's start feeding people who wouldn't have somewhere to go.' We've been doing it ever since."
"I can't explain what it means to me," she said. "This is better than Christmas. It just makes me beam."
Thursday's feast included 24 cooked turkeys, mountains of mashed potatoes and more than 30 homemade pies displayed on a dessert table.
And who turns out to dig in? The homeless, many in need, many others just looking for company on the holiday. A school bus, donated for the occasion and driven by a volunteer, collected guests from local homeless shelters as well as homes for seniors.
The guests say the distinctive South Portland tradition doesn't strike them so much as a charity event; it's more like a gathering of neighbors.
Carol and Stan Reynolds of Westbrook, for instance, first came three years ago. They've returned each year to meet new people and share in the festive atmosphere.
"We come for the company. We talk of going to (a similar event) in Portland, but we can't get away from this place. We're both veterans. This is like going home," said Carol Reynolds, 74, who served in the Army.
Others new to the gathering were impressed Thursday by the family-style seating arrangement in the hall, which was decked out like an elegant restaurant, with friendly volunteers serving the guests.
"I like what they have done," said Thelma Hiscock of Auburn, who volunteered at the event along with her young family. "Rather than a line, they have people sit down to dinner. We wanted to help however we can," she said. "We'll definitely come back and do it again."

Basketball Season Ticket Renewals Due August 1
A form for 2012-13 basketball season tickets and an application for the Golden Eagle Club were included in the mailing. The generous support from our fans in 2011 played a critical role in the success of our 214 student-athletes. We hope that fans will choose to renew or increase their involvement and re-invest in ORU Athletics.
There are a few exciting changes for the 2012-13 basketball season:
- Southland Conference games are scheduled in a double-header format; this does not leave us sufficient time for our traditional pre-game dinners.
- Golden Eagle Game Night receptions are replacing the dinners and will be hosted in the banquet venue on the south side of the Mabee Center.
- These receptions will follow the women's basketball games and include a "chalk talk" with a coach from each program.
Fans should call Mike Minyard at 918-495-7213 with any questions.

You can find eggs from chickens that haven't been treated with any hormones in America, it just usually costs more and is only available at places like Whole Foods or Sprouts. But most eggs you find at the normal supermarkets have been treated with hormones of some kind :/
Although the biggest factor in the crappy taste in most animal foods here is the fact that we feed pretty much all of our livestock corn, because that's the thing that we are best at making. And of course feeding everything corn instead of what it's supposed to eat makes it less healthy too -_-.

Sam Carchidi from the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Claude Giroux will be reevaluated Monday morning, but that Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said Giroux "felt better this morning. Holmgren also said that Bryzgalov was doing much better and should be able to play Tuesday.
Adam Larsson owners take note: At least for the time being, he's been taking off the power play. Pete DeBoer wants him to concentate on his 5-on-5 play. Larsson only has 10 points on the season, but seven have come in his past 11 starts. Three of those seven were via the PP.
So Jeff Skinner has gone from having the flu (or flu-like symptoms) to an undisclosed injury. Wonderful. Drayson Bowman has been called up on an emergency basis and Brian Boucher has been moved to the IR.
At today's Devils' practice, David Clarkson has replaced Dainius Zubrus as the RW alongside Petr Sykora and Patrik Elias. The earliest Travis Zajac would play would be late this week.
When Tim Thomas didn't come out to play the third period of last night's game against Columbus, it wasn't an injury-related issue. The score was tied 3-3 at the time. Claude Julien said he "didn't look as sharp as we're used to him being." The Bruins scored twice in the third on the power play with Tuukka Rask between the pipes and won 5-3.
Nino Niederreiter is inching closer to returning from his concussion, so there could be another conditioning stint in the AHL. He's only been able to play six games with the Isles so far thanks to his earlier groin injury. It never hurts to nose around in deeper keeper leagues to see if the owner of a player who endures a few ailments early in his career is getting antsy already and wants someone who can produce right now. Bargains can often be found that way.
Richard Bachman was a fourth rounder in 2006 and he finally got the call for his first NHL start tonight against the Kings. He turned away 26 of 27 shots and looked really good doing it in a 2-1 win. Sheldon Souray had nine shots in that game too.
Jay Feaster spent a good chunk of time on After Hours doing exactly what we all knew he'd be asked to do... talk about the never-ending Jarome Iginla trade rumours. Again, he says Iginla is not going anywhere. He also said in direct response to a Twitter question that there has never been given a formal trade offer made for Iginla.
After tonight's 3-0 shutout of the Oilers, Iginla (4-5-9, 21 SOG) and Olli Jokinen (3-4-7, 16 SOG) have combined for 16 points and 37 SOG in their past five starts.
Kane. Toews. Hossa. Sharp. Just try to stop them all. It's a look at the pick-your-poison situation for opponents.
Have you ever wondered what's involved with writing about fantasy puck for a living? Read the end of this Ramblings. It's your chance to find out (virtually) whatever you want to know.
Jordin Tootoo has eight points in his past eight games and he's also the cover boy for the December issue of Goalie Bowling Monthly.
Claude #fantasymealticket Giroux left tonight's game with an injury. If you haven't seen it, he was on the ice and Wayne Simmonds jumped over him and inadvertently knocked the back of Giroux's head with his knee. Hopefully there was no resulting concussion, but we'll just wait and see. Better safe than sorry with the NHL points leader. It was Sean Couturier who jumped onto the first line between Scott Hartnell and Jaromir Jagr sans Giroux. Simmonds, by the way, has five points in his past four games now and he and Danny Briere have been getting it done of late. ** A Philly reporter tweeted after the game that there are no headaches for Giroux yet.
Ilya Bryzgalov left this one too with some sort of lower-body injury, but he was hanging around the bench with his mask above his head in the third period, so hopefully it's nothing major.
Another potentially big loss for poolies... Zdeno Chara. He's out with an injury from tonight's action. Dennis Seidenberg and Joe Corvo saw the most time at the point of the power play tonight.
Jeff Taffe had points in each of his two starts alongside Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley. He's been reassigned though, with Cal Clutterbuck expected back against the Jets. That's exactly what you want from a call-up as an organization though... good fill-in performances and then go down and work hard to earn that next opportunity.
With no Saku Koivu for the Ducks, we saw some tweaks to Anaheim's top six tonight. Kyle Palmieri - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry/ Andrew Cogliano - Bobby Ryan - Teemu Selanne. Ryan moved to the middle, as we've seen from time to time in the past. Palmieri, who was a late first round pick in 2009 and who is tearing it up in the AHL so far this season (17-9-26 in 18 GP with 19 PIM and a +15 rating), drew the plum L1 assignment to open this one.
The Sharks were shut out by the Blues with Brian Elliott earning his fourth goose egg of the season. That's four shutouts for St. Louis since Ken Hitchcock took over with the November 8th win over the Hawks. Elliott has three of them.
That game also saw Joe Thornton and David Perron meet for the first time since the hit that left Perron out of action for so long. More importantly, Perron now has points in three of four since coming back. Good to see.
Daniel Alfredsson played the point on PP with Erik Karlsson since Sergei Gonchar was apparently a healthy scratch (that's how he was specifically listed where I read it, but an upper-body injury was listed from Thursday's game). Matt Carkner played his first game of the season and if you're looking for PIM help without sacrificing a forward spot, he's been quite good at that role in the past. Alfredsson, as you've hopefully noticed, has been looking much stronger in the last few weeks. I think I made this point in one of my recent live recaps, but he's looking more like the Alfredsson of old... as opposed to an old Alfredsson.
The Nick Foligno hits on Cody Hodgson and Ryan Kesler were the talk of this one. The one on Hodgson seemed to be unfortunate timing for Hodgson with him going down slightly before the hit. Hodgson is apparently ok though and wanted to come back and play, but the training staff erred on the side of cation. As far as the hit on Kesler ? Depends on who you ask. Foligno thinks Kesler embellished it and Kesler... not so much. I only saw the Chris Neil headshot on Alexandre Burrows once as I was writing, so couldn't really tell if there was anything to it at the time.
Mason Raymond has points in three of his first four games back now. Considering the layoff, that's an impressive start.
Jordan Staal is now day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which shuffled the lines for the Pens a bit tonight. Does it ever matter for this team? So well-coached. It was Chris Kunitz with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal on L1. Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy had Pascal Dupuis between them, while Steve Sullivan shifted to a line with Joe Vitale and Arron Asham. Sullivan had only one point in six games coming in and he scored Pittsburgh's first goal in the 6-3 pounding of the Isles. Paul Martin quietly has six points in nine games too.
Speaking of power play minutes, that's the only reason Tomas Kaberle was acquired by the Habs and he delivered today in his matinee debut with a couple of assists. He actually has three straight two-assist games too, so ideally he'll be able to keep this momentum going after an abysmal season otherwise and also help Montreal's PP get back to where it should be.
Jiri Hudler has three straight two-point efforts. He's skating with Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula.
Speaking of which... two weeks from now, it'll be Christmas weekend! My Ramblings will be a Christmas-themed offering, but I thought it might be cool for the Q&A (which will be written in advance of that weekend since that's a rare two-day break for me) to give you a chance to ask whatever you might be wondering about being a fantasy hockey writer. Like what sort of hours are involved, how I got started, what a typical night might entail. So if there's anything you've ever wondered about that side of the fantasy ledger, drop me a line and I'll try to include it in that Christmas edition of Q&A.
Should you be so inclined, you can follow me on Twitter.

Both Foligno hits were clean, and he caught them both stumbling at the half-wall (pretty much the exact same spot). Not sure why he got tossed for the second one.

"Summertime is a wonderful time for family and friends to get together and enjoy themselves, often with a beloved pet," said Dr. Steven Hansen, senior vice president of ASPCA Animal Health Services. "However, even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if they're overexposed to the heat."
Here are just some of the ways animal lovers can help ensure their pets have a safe summer.
Visit the vet: Make sure your pet is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations in spring or early summer. Pets should also be given a blood test for heartworm every year in the early spring. The deadly parasite is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito and it is recommended that dogs and cats be on a monthly preventive medication year-round.
Keep cool: Dogs and cats can become dehydrated quickly, so give your pets plenty of water when it is hot outdoors. Also make sure your pet has a shady place to escape the sun, and when the temperature is very high don't let your dog linger on hot asphalt. Being so close to the ground, a dog's body can heat up quickly and sensitive paw pads can burn.
Never leave animals in a parked car: On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked automobile can become a furnace in no time and heatstroke can develop, which is potentially fatal.
Know the symptoms: The symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, seizures and an elevated body temperature of more than 104 degrees. Animals with flat faces, such as pugs and Persian cats, and overweight animals are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively.
Just say no: Food and drink you serve your guests at backyard barbecues may be poisonous to pets. Keep alcoholic beverages away from pets, as they can cause intoxication, depression, comas or even death. Also avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with the sweetener xylitol.
Water safety is pet-friendly: Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool, as not all dogs are good swimmers. Introduce your pets to water gradually and make sure pets wear flotation devices while on boats. Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from his fur and try to keep your dog from drinking pool water, which contains chlorine and other chemicals that could cause stomach upset.
Beware of "high-rise syndrome": During warmer months, there is an increase in injured animals as a result of "high-rise syndrome," which occurs when pets fall out of windows or doors and are seriously or fatally injured. Keep all unscreened windows or doors closed and make sure adjustable screens are tightly secured.
If your dog or cat accidentally ingests a potentially toxic substance this summer, it is important to contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for immediate assistance.

WSPA and partners get animal welfare onto Earth Summit agenda
WSPA has succeeded in getting animal welfare integrated into preparations for the upcoming Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Next year, Rio, Brazil will host a major global conference on environment and sustainable development. With the focus of world leaders and the world's public on the event, WSPA is working to ensure that animal welfare is firmly on the agenda.
The latest important event in the run-up to next year's Rio +20 meeting, the 64th Annual United Nations Department of Public Information Conference for Non-Governmental Organizations, took place last week in Bonn, Germany. WSPA succeeded in having animals and sustainable agriculture inserted into the Rio Conference declaration - the so-called 'Bonn Declaration' which will feed into the planning process for the Earth Summit and the texts used to prepare it.
WSPA also co-organised and chaired an event at the conference with other organisations and academics to discuss how important animal welfare was to sustainable agriculture and food consumption.
Animal welfare makes final text
The Bonn Declaration states that animal welfare should be safeguarded and notes that "sustainable development can only be ensured if humanity, directed and led by government policies, embraces humane, sustainable, low-carbon lifestyles and adopts sustainable livelihoods".
The Declaration also has the ambitious goal that; "By 2030, global agricultural production is transformed from industrial to sustainable…. This goal should also include sustainable and humane food systems that provide healthy food to meet current food needs while maintaining healthy ecosystems, farmer resilience, and ensure good animal health and welfare that can also provide food for generations to come with minimal negative impact to the environment, through agro-ecological farming systems."

From Kate Miller of PornHub.com:
The Pornhub traffic numbers are in after the NFL season opener. I thought you guys might find them interesting:
Around two hours before the game there was a spike in traffic in Denver of 6%, whereas in Baltimore and the US this was roughly 2%. Also at the beginning of the game at around 9:00 PM after a 30 minute rain delay, the traffic drop was slightly higher in Baltimore at -27% than in Denver at -22%, but it was the only time where the traffic drop was larger in Baltimore.

Good personal service and explanations as to various options relating to the purchase of diamonds. Makes you wonder what you are buying on the High Street.Very good quality of product and very good price.
These are simply exceptional, stunning earrings. Great value and delivered exactly when promised. The only thing is the screw on clasp which is fiddly if you are not used to them, but does give the necessary piece of mind knowing they are secure.
My wife was absolutely delighted with these diamonds
Timeless but modern setting which displays the diamonds beautifully.

Mars is only half the diameter of the Earth, yet it never approaches closer than around 140 times the distance of the Moon from the Earth. While Mars is at its closest approach until early September, what a small telescope, or even binoculars, can discern of its surface depends on the local atmosphere and weather, along with the weather on Mars. In late spring and early summer, global dust storms on Mars --usually beginning in the southern hemisphere--can obscure many surface features. The size of the disk is less important than the transparency of the Martian atmosphere in determining the visibility of minor features. But since Mars has no oceans, its land area is equal to that of the Earth, and thus gives a broad and rich viewing landscape for remote geologists, astronomers and cartographers.
A telescope of at least 5 inches (7.5 cm) is perhaps the minimum necessary for a refractor, and 9 inches (22.5 cm) for a reflector---in the latter case, the mirror must possess a perfect figure, and preferably should be of long focus, say f/9 or f/10. The Hubble Space Telescope, while unobscured in its view by the Earth's weather, is still highly dependent on the martian weather. The image captured by Hubble during late August shown below, shows clear martian weather and gives an annotated look at the major surface features on the red planet. Even closer views have been catalogued by the Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) which is part of the Mars Global Surveyor: from such a vantage point, features as detailed as the size of a bus can be imaged.

Levante vs Real Sociedad Preview
Levante received a double boost ahead of this weekend's Primera Division clash with Real Sociedad after following up victory in Europe in midweek by formalising the signing of Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins.
Juanfran scored the only goal of the game as Levante held firm against Swedish side Helsingborg to claim a 1-0 win in Europa League Group L on Thursday.
And 24 hours later the club were able to boast the signature of former Inter Milan and Newcastle striker Martins, who agreed to join the club earlier this week after falling out of favour at Russian outfit Rubin Kazan.
"I came here because I want to play," said Martins at his official unveiling. "I do not think about the money or other things because if I had, I would have stayed at Rubin Kazan.
"I'm here to do well, score goals and help the team."
Levante's start to their new Primera Liga campaign had been patchy, with just one win in four, but they started with plenty of confidence in their win against Helsingborg and will hope the goals of Martins can fire them up the standings.
Coach Juan Ignacio Martinez is optimistic their good European display can cross over into the domestic competition, with Primera Division survival still the club's aim despite their sixth-placed finish last season.
"We cannot allow ourselves any luxury which is not La Liga," Martinez told Marca. "The focus is to be in the Primera Division next year."
Sociedad's up and down start to the season continued as they beat Real Zaragoza 2-0 last weekend to make it two wins and two defeats from four matches.
Captain Xabi Prieto is now looking to build on the momentum of last week's win and pick up their first points on the road this weekend.
Prieto told Marca: "Levante is a team with veteran players who do everything to make the game uncomfortable for you.
"We can't fall into their trap, we have to try and impose our rhythm, play our game and take advantage of our chances."

Sport: Football
Hometown: Aspen, Colo.
Skinny: As a freshman at Aspen High last season, Beirne threw for 22 touchdowns and more than 2,000 passing yards in leading the Skiers to a 7-4 record. Those numbers helped the 15 year old earn an honorable mention on the U.S. Air Force Freshmen All-America team in January.
Beirne, who stands 6-foot-2 and 218 pounds, has since transferred to national power Christopher Columbus High in Miami, a program that has produced famous alumni including former NFL quarterback Brian Griese (Class of 1993) and Raiders cornerback Pat Lee (Class of 2003). A rising sophomore, Beirne will start next fall for the defending Class 8A district and regional champs.
Evokes: A young Daunte Culpepper, for his arm strength and ability to throw on the run.
VIDEO: Get to know Jane Campbell
Sport: Soccer
Hometown: Kennesaw, Ga.
Skinny: One of a talented crop of current U.S. U-17 national team goalkeepers, the 5-foot-9 Campbell hopes to one day follow in the ranks of American stars Brianna Scurry and Hope Solo. During the recent CONCACAF U-17 tournament, she recorded five straight shutouts and did not concede a goal in all 450 minutes of the tournament. Campbell's performance earned the U.S. a berth in the 2012 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Azerbaijan.
"Hope Solo is the best goalkeeper in the world right now and if I want to be like her I have to keep reaching my own smaller goals," Campbell told U.S. Soccer's web site recently.
The daughter of a pair of former Navy pilots -- her father, Mike, flew in the Blue Angels -- the 17 year old has already committed to play at Stanford in the fall of 2013, when she graduates from the Darlington School.
Evokes: Solo, the star goalkeeper of the U.S. Women's National Team.
VIDEO: Get to know Arielle Gold
Sport: Snowboarding
Hometown: Steamboat Springs, Colo.
Skinny: Gold won silver in the halfpipe and slopestyle events at the inaugural Winter Youth Olympics in Austria in January, and she followed that up with gold in the halfpipe at the Junior World Championships in Spain in March.
Now 16, she has not shied away from increasingly complex tricks -- and has walked away with some hardware as a result. Gold initially planned to complete an easy run at the 2012 Youth Olympics before seeing her competitors pull some surprise tricks. In response, Gold opted to launch her best trick, a frontside 900, in what was essentially an audition. She didn't land the move cleanly, but she still won silver after showcasing a series of advanced tricks. This fall and winter, Gold will enter several Olympic qualifying events in advance of the 2014 Sochi Games.
Evokes: Kelly Clark, the Olympic halfpipe winner and four-time X Games superpipe champion.
Sport: Ski Jumping
Hometown: Park City, Utah
Skinny: A senior at the Winter Sports School in Park City -- a program that runs April through November so students can compete during the winter months -- the 17-year-old Hendrickson is the top-ranked ski jumper in the world. She is the early favorite for the 2014 Olympics.
Just 5-foot-3 and 95 pounds, Hendrickson claimed the first women's World Cup ski jumping title earlier this year after winning nine of the 13 World Cup events. She'll be eligible to compete at the 2014 Games as the International Olympic Committee has included ski jumping on its program. Hendrickson first tried ski jumping as a seven year old on a small K5 hill.
Evokes: A pioneer in her sport, Hendrickson is blazing her own path. Still, she hopes to follow in the ski tracks of one of her favorite athletes, Lindsey Vonn.
Sport: Golf
Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Skinny: The No. 1 player in Golfweek's Junior Rankings and the No. 5 player in Golfweek's Women's Amateur Rankings, Jutanugarn has exploded onto the international scene. In May 2012, the 16 year old won her second consecutive Rolex Girls Junior Championship title, setting a tournament record for margin of victory by finishing 18 shots ahead of the runner-up, her older sister, Moriya. In 2011, Jutanugarn won the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship and the Junior PGA Championship.
"She's just an amazing player," fellow junior golfer Casey Danielson recently told the Bangkok Post. "You know that every hole she's going for birdie, she's going to do it because she's got that mindset."
Evokes: Lexi Thompson, who won her first LPGA title at 16, for her dedication and excellence at a young age.
Sport: Football
Hometown: Sandy, Utah
Skinny: Kafentzis was named MaxPreps' National Freshman of the Year in 2011 after passing for 3,188 yards and 23 touchdowng, rushing for 1,377 yards and 22 scores and leading Jordan High to the state Class 5A semifinals. BYU has already offered a scholarship, and Kafentzis has been visited by a number of college coaches, including Alabama offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier.
In addition to his performance on the gridiron, Kafentzis, 16, broke the Utah Class 5A record in the javelin in May with a throw of 190 feet.
Evokes: Aaron Rodgers, for his ability to throw passes into tight spaces.
VIDEO: Get to know Jeremy Martinez
Sport: Baseball
Hometown: Fountain Valley, Calif.
Skinny: One of only two underclassmen to participate in last year's Under Armour All-America Game, Martinez appears poised to be a first-round pick in next year's MLB Draft. He's currently the top-rated 2013 prospect by ESPN, and in March, he helped Mater Dei (Calif.) High to USA Baseball's inaugural High School invitational title. Martinez batted .538 in four games; for the 2012 season, he hit .388 with 18 RBIs.
Martinez verbally committed to USC at the end of his freshman season, but that likely won't stop a MLB team from drafting him early. If he wants to remain a catcher, however, going to college may not be a bad choice. Since 2005, just one high school catcher picked in the first round (Devin Mesoraco, the backup for the Reds) is currently in the big leagues at the postion (Others, such as Brandon Snyder and Brett Lawrie, were converted to infielders). College catchers selected in the first round have been far more successful. The post-2005 class of collegiate catchers includes Buster Posey, Matt Wieters, J.P. Arencibia and Jason Castro.
Evokes: Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, the former for his batting stance and the latter for his defensive skills.

Serine is a nonessential amino acid, which means it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver; it does not have to be obtained directly through the diet.
Serine stimulates the synthesis of glucose (blood sugar) in the liver. For this reason, eating protein foods that are rich in serine will help stabilize the body against oscillations of blood sugar levels after eating. Serine is known to be the precursor to cysteine, along with methionine. It is also the precursor to glycine. Serine works in conjunction with alanine and glycine to help stabilize blood sugar and provide a timed-release source of glucose after glycogen depletion.
Deficiencies of a nonessential amino acid will not occur if a well-balanced diet is consumed because the intake of proper foods will allow the body to produce exactly the amount of amino acid required to function optimally.
Recently serine has been administered along with alanine and glycine to help management blood sugar problems associated with reactive hypoglycemia. Therapeutic doses of serine range between 300 and 1,000mg per day.
Recommended Dietary Allowances
Serine is a nonessential amino acid therefore an RDA has not been established. Serine is readily metabolized and has a wide safety margin.
Food Sources
Serine is a nonessential amino acid, which means it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver; it does not have to be obtained directly through the diet.
Method of Action
Serine relates to the interconversion to glucose by the way of gluconeogenesis. It also relates to many other substances including sphingosine and the phosphatides, which are part of the myelin covering of the nerves. Conversion of one serine intermediate provides the formation of cysteine from methionine.
Serine is also a major source of glycine and the formation of single-carbon units needed for the synthesis of methyl groups, which are used in steroid biosynthesis. Because the body's capacity to generate methyl groups is limited, the vitamin B-complex vitamin choline, under certain circumstances, is a dietary essential nutrient and has been classified as a vitamin. However, in the presence of adequate amounts of folic acid and vitamin B-12 along with serine, it is not absolutely essential. Serine works with choline to help reform phosphatidylcholine, which is a major component of lecithin. A large number of substances are able to donate methyl groups, including betaine and methionine, which all interrelate with the amino acid serine.

text: Hey folks glad you stopped by. My wife and I have been cooking up good BBQ food for many years for family and friends, so we thought it was time to let others in on some really great BBQ! Like a lot of folks we cook outdoors most of the warm months however when the cold settles in we don't stop. I have many times went out and shoveled snow off the deck to get to the cookers or braved below zero temps to light a fire for some good down home BBQ. From great tasting hot wings and ribs to the best pulled pork you have ever tasted, we guarantee you will love every bite. Most all of our food is grilled on site except for our pulled pork and beef brisket which can take up to 16 hours to cook and are smoked in our own custom smoke house the night before. We offer drop off service, on site catering/cooking, our mobile WING WAGON, jerky smoking and many other services. Thanks and we look forward to serving you.

A short introduction to the Library classification system, in video and text.
Click on the parts of the tutorial below, or view the text of all three parts on a single page
To locate a book in Waidner-Spahr Library, you need to know the book's call number and location.
Call numbers and locations are displayed in the Library Catalog and JumpStart.
Most books in the Library have the location "Book Stacks, main and upper level," which means they are on the shelves in the Library ("stacks" is another word for "shelves").
The Library Map shows where books with a given call number are shelved.
Look at the letters at the beginning of the call number, and locate the associated range of letters on the map.
For the book Nixonland, the call number is:
The Library Map shows us that this book is on the Main Level of the Library in the "DS-F" section.
Library maps are posted throughout Waidner-Spahr, and are also available at the Circulation Desk or can be viewed from the Library's website.
Signs at the ends of the shelves show the range of call numbers in each row.
Call Numbers are assigned by a book's subject area. So once you find your book, the books around it will usually deal with similar topics, and might be useful for your research.
When you're looking at the catalog results for a book, you should take notice of the location listed for the book. Two common locations that are not the regular Stacks/Shelves are:
If you encounter another location in the catalog, or can't find a book for any other reason, ask the staff at the Circulation Desk or Ask a Librarian for help.
First, you should double-check the catalog to make sure the book isn't checked out. If it is checked out, you may be able to borrow a copy from another library (see the EZBorrow page of the Library Website).
If the book isn't checked out, you should go to the Circulation Desk so they can help you.
You can usually borrow your book from another library, but this will take a number of days. If you need a book right away that deals with your topic, you should ask a librarian to help you find other resources for your research.
Once you've found the location of the shelves where your book is stored, you'll have to find the right shelf, and the book amid all the other books on the shelf.
A book's call number serves as an address for its location in the library. Understanding how the system works is like understanding North, South, East, and West.
LCC is an alpha-numeric system, but it can get a little tricky, so let's take it line by line.
A call number generally has four or five lines (when displayed on the side of a book).
The first line consists of letters, which go in alphabetical order
The second line consists of numbers, and should be treated as whole numbers (18 comes before 125, etc.).
The third line consists of a single letter and numbers.
Look at alphabetical order first, and then read the numbers as decimals (not whole numbers). So, for example, on the third line ".G53" would come before ".G6" because the decimal number 0.53 is smaller than 0.6.

[ back to top ]
Most of the books in Waidner-Spahr Library are arranged by a system known as the Library of Congress Classification, or LCC (though there are some exceptions).
The LCC determines the "call number" that serves as the identity and address of each particular book.
Call Numbers are made up of a combination of letters and numbers, which, put together indicate the predominant content of the book, as well as other publication information.
LCC is divided into 21 subject areas. (You can see them all listed on the Library of Congress Website). Each subject area has its own letter, and is then subdivided into specialty areas, indicated by the first set of numbers.
Book title: A Decade of Dark Humor: How Comedy, Irony, and Satire Shaped Post-9/11 America
The call number of this book would be displayed on the spine like this:
|Call Number Element
|History of the Americas.
|The United States, 21st Century, George W. Bush's Administration, 2001-2009.
|This line varies depending on the kind of book. In this case, this code refers to the Word, "decade," from the title.
|The year of publication.
So the "E" section is subdivided by numbers only.
Another example:
Book title: Underlying Foundations of Science Used in the Regulation of Industrial Chemicals
The call number of this book would be displayed on the spine like this:
|Call Number Element
|"Q" is the category for science, and this call number subdivides into "QD" to indicate Chemistry.
|The numbers under "QD" subdivide into different types of chemistry. This number indicates general chemistry information.
|This code refers to the author's last name, Plamondon.
|The year of publication.

The Yamaha XT600E is about as straightforward, reliable and solid as an old school trail bike gets. The Yamaha XT600E was the last of a long line of 4-valve air-cooled Yamaha singles, starting off with the original, much-loved XT500 of the mid-70s.

The Honda VT600 Shadow is pretty much the antithesis of the original chopper credo. If the first true chops were all about bad boy, bristly individuality, the 600 Shadow is about as soft, unthreatening and unoriginal as it gets. It's bland, novice-friendly and safe and predictable, but you';ve really got to ask yourself if you want that sort of thing. ...

Welcome to StrongMoms!! I think you will really enjoy it here - so much encouragement and advice that everyone shares with each other. Join in the conversation! Tell us about your baby. :-)
hello im new here
Welcome to both of you! Do you have kids? How old are they? Let me know if you have any questions!
Just what i have read so far, i'm asking myself why i didn't get going on this earlier. Reading so many helpful tips on things i wish i would have heard 9 months ago... But, better to join things now than never. :)
Smilinggirl9984: Better late than never is right! Congrats on your baby! So cute - I'd love to hear more about you. :-)
Thanks, he's becoming quite a ham, and quite the flirt...
I'm 26, first time mom, single mom at that. It hasn't been an easy road, but feels like the bumps are getting fewer and farther between, thank God! People talk about being a mom is the toughest job in the world, and i never truly realized just how true that was till i became one. It is also the best job in the world and am so grateful i was blessed with such a wonderful son.
This site is not only great for expectant moms and dads, but also has many categories that can help once your baby arrives. You can find information on helpful products, feeding and nutrition, general parenting and more. Ask a specific question or do what I do most of the time and browse everyone's comments for good ideas. Welcome aboard!
Hm, the best thing? I think just his overall sunny disposition, how he can get me to do the funniest things just to get a reaction out of him, how his smile and/or laugh can light up a whole room as well as my heart! Hardest part? Doing it alone (without his father), i'm pretty good at being a glass half full kind of person which totally helps, but resentment towards his father still creeps its way in sometimes and my biggest goal is keeping that away from my son. Its just hard to wrap my head around someone not wanting to be a part if this wonderful life he helped to create. His loss though....
I have definitely been perusing the discussion boards and have found numerous helpful tips and advice. I really wish i had looked into it in those early months....those were some tough times.
Thanks guys!! :)
Greetings my name is Seneca and I am new to the community. I will be expecting my first child this Autumn and I am so estatic about everything from breastfeeding, to when to start my baby registry, and enrolling myself in prenatal class to get more informative about the whole process.

Montreal, Canada - Wednesday September 3, 2008 - TKO Championship Fighting announced today that they have signed a television deal with the TQS television network which will show MMA in Quebec beginning September 5, 2008 at 9p.m. with TKO, Friday night Knock-outs.
The president of TKO, Stephane Patry, had this to say. For over eight years I have been working very hard to make the public understand and appreciate our sport and our athletes. When we first started in 2000, our events were held in small venues and TKO was available on DVD and on specialty sport channels only. In 2006, TKO Championship Fighting found a new home at the Bell Centre and our fans began to multiply. Now, thanks to this partnership with the Rémillard brothers and the team at TQS I am confident that our sport will reach a whole new level of popularity which is exactly what the sport and our athletes deserve!
TKO, Friday night Knock-outs fits perfectly into the new programming of TQS recently acquired by the Rémillard brothers (Maxime and Julien). In the next few months, TQS is poised to become the preferred alternative for traditional television network viewing. The addition of action packed, captivating mixed martial arts entertainment should significantly help bolster the revival of TQS! TQS wishes to be branded as daring and innovating television, stated Louis Trépanier, Vice-President of TQS Programming. We strongly believe that TKO programming will be very popular with our viewers. We have a total of 44 episodes and it all begins this Friday September 5 at 9pm!

Higgins( Christopher T. Assaf, Baltimore Sun photo / November 15, 2013 )
Higgins' name was given to him because his owners thought it was cute and unusual, but having gotten to know him since the day they picked him up, they've rethought things a bit.
"We should have named him Hoover," says Tom Buser. "As in vacuum."
A 7-year-old Yorkie-Poo, Higgins fancies himself something of a hunter and always has his nose to the ground, snarfing up whatever he finds around the house -- woe to the mere crumb dropped from the dinner table. Buser brought Higgins home as a birthday gift for his wife, Joyce Starr, and the pup immediately took to life on Pasadena's Stoney Creek.
When he's not hunting down treats from his owners or the floor, Higgins likes racing around his yard and chasing squirrels.
"He truly is the gift that keeps on giving," says Buser, who adds that Higgins loves playing hide-and-seek, so long as a treat awaits at the end of the game, and knows simple tricks, including sit, stay and offering his paw for a shake. Thankfully, he also obeys "drop it" when he grabs something nonedible.
He's also a friendly dog.
"Walking him takes time since we have to stop for a pet on the head from the neighbors," says Buser.

Genetically modified foods are those that contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), typically crops engineered with specific characteristics, such as resistance to herbicides. The most common genetically modified foods include soybeans, corn and canola.
Not surprisingly, a great deal of controversy surrounds the safety and reliability of products made with GMO ingredients.
When you're shopping, be on the lookout for non-GMO versions of the following foods:
You've seen and heard this controversial acronym all over the news, but what does it really mean? GMO stands for genetically modified organism, a plant or animal engineered at the molecular level by adding, subtracting and combining bits of DNA.
Although it may seem like science fiction, GMOs are a reality - and you're probably coming into contact with them every day.
Who's hungry for frankenfood? The most common GMO products include food crops such as corn and soybeans. These plants are modified to include specific insect- and weed-resistant proteins. Some crops are also engineered to withstand exposure to chemical weed killers.
If you're frightened at the thought of genetically modified tortilla chips and veggie burgers, you're not alone. Fortunately, many different companies have pledged to use only non-GMO ingredients in their products.
Vitacost.com carries an impressive selection of non-GMO foods, snacks, drinks, baby formulas, supplements and more from top, trusted brands such as KIND, Garden of Life, Earth's Best, Arrowhead Mills and our own proprietary line of non-GMO supplements - Vitacost Whole Food.
If you believe DNA should stand for "Do Not Adjust," then limit your exposure to genetically modified organisms by shopping the non-GMO store at Vitacost.com!See All Non-GMO

Jeremy Scahill's War on War
Jeremy Scahill, Reporter, The Nation; Author, Dirty Wars
In conversation with Barry Eisler, Novelist; Blogger; Former CIA Operative
Has the country's effort to dispense international military justice gone extrajudicial? Drone strikes, mercenary missions and the assassination of Bin Laden raise the question: Do the ends justify the means? Going beneath the surface of conventional reporting, investigative journalist Scahill's newest book, Dirty Wars, explores the gray areas of U.S. military operations to determine whether these policies have been undertaken with congressional oversight and public debate. Hear Scahill's take on the underbelly of the United States' international military affairs and decide for yourself if you agree with him: How much are we willing to compromise the democratic process in the name of warfare, and justice?

Selected Color:
Selected Size:
The Straight is a modern take on our original Standard straight leg but tapers from the knee down. Raw Indigo is a dark shade denim that does not get washed, hence it's name. We recommend washing your Raw Selvage denim after approximately 6 months of wear.
Our selvage denim is made on old-style shuttle looms by denim craftsman. The process is slower, but the denim is softer and more durable than modern production. Our selvage denim is identified by our iconic red and yellow label color woven into the selvage edges. We use rich indigo dyes to ensure the best color, which may wear off, so please take extra care around lighter items.

A great lightweight raw jean
By Buck
from New York, NY
About Me Classic Dresser
This is a great jean with a pretty slim leg (just a bit above the slimmy fit) and a mature indigo denim. I haven't owned them long enough for them to fade, yet, but I'm sure they will look fantastic once they do. The fabric is a fairly lightweight (11oz) italian denim, which I really like (though some people won't). I buy 7s because they're comfortable and was afraid that their raw selvage line would be too stiff, but I'm happy to report they're not. There are some great details like the red chain stitching on the hem, the selvage coin pocket, the two-toned yellow / gold stitching on the fly, pockets & belt loops. Another detail I like is that it doesn't have the (IMO) flashy 7 stitch on the pocket. My only complaint is that the belt loops do not feel solid and I'm afraid that, over time, they will begin to separate from the jean. All in all an awesome investment that will be my go-to pair of jeans for years to come.

Great raw Jeans
By Franco

See all my reviews
Great fit, great qualitY and MADE IN USA!!


text: It's going to be very interesting and possibly frustrating over the years I think to see other guys get voted in. This debate is going to be never ending for as long as baseball is around whether they get in or not. There is a right answer in my opinion and I think they shouldn't get in. I don't see why they should and I know they were such a big part of baseball history but it doesn't seem fair to let them in. Really intrigued to see what happens over the next 5 to 10 years surrounding this.
