News The War On Terror: September 11, 2001 - December 30, 2006
posted by December 30 at 8:18 AMon
The War on Terror ended early Saturday morning, as Saddam Hussein was hanged by the neck until he died. The War on Terror was just over five years old, beginning on September 11th, 2001, with the attacks on the World Trade Center. Finally, with Hussein's death, all terror everywhere has come to an end.
It's been a long and arduous process, tracking down and destroying the terror networks that led directly to Hussein, but now the work is done, the mastermind behind the attacks of September 11th has been executed, and we can all rest easy.
There are those who thought that the War on Terror would never be concluded, but—by staying steadfast and resolute—we have succeeded. Terror is no more. Now we need to start a new War On Something Else—Drugs, maybe?—because today is WTV Day, and tomorrow we wil be Bored.

As soon as I opened the box...... Love at first sight. Just on initial looks I was wow'd, but once on feet I was even more impressed. Judging by an online review which wasn't based on a general release(which was also primeknit) I went half size up, which I wish I didn't do. I had to send these back and re order my size. These run TTS and fit like a glove. Boost runs all the way which means you're feet are in heaven. The White colourway is so fresh that didn't have the heart to ball in'em & ruin'em so I got the Red colourway. Can't wait for future colours, well done adidas!!!!! ... read more
These are by far the best low top basketball shoes I have ever worn. The Kobe IVs came out quite awhile ago and have finally been surpassed by the Crazylight 2016! The cushion is outstanding and full length and is even more responsive than the D Rose 6 Boost. Traction is outstanding indoors and outdoors and I never have to wipe. The only suggestion I would make is for people to go a half size down because they do run slightly long. As a Houston Rockets fan I am excited that James Harden will be wearing these instead of his old Nikes that had no cushion and felt like bricks. Also looking forward to his signature shoe when it releases as long as it has full length Boost. ... read more
The Lillard 2 runs a little big so a half size down may be in order. I havent played in Adidas since the Gilbert Arenas shoe but I have to say these are easily comparable to anything on the market right now. Full length cushion that cant be killed by stepping on a tack....and for 105?? Plus the materials are top of the line. They were so comfortable I bought another pair to walk around in. I just wish 13.5 was a little more common place. ... read more
These are great shoes. Really comfortable and exceptionally light. The only thing I would change was that the slightly off-white colour on the primeknit detailing would have been better as pure white which would have been more striking. Other than that they are pretty amazing. ... read more
All you need to know is this shoe runs true to size and Boost is super comfortable. The graphics are dope I love the red I rock these with my Manchester United jerseys home and away. I have a wide foot and these fit perfect no need to go size up or down. Plus these are slept on honestly they should be sold out by now but that's why I love em, because no one else has em. ... read more
The shoe is simply awesome I bought these shoes for my daughter who plays to a high standard she has owned the last 2 models which were great.But these have raised the bar beyond belief. The full length boost is different class as is the comfort & the continental sole give superb traction. There is no other shoe to match this shoe. Great work guys ... read more
I was excited about these...until I finally laced them up to play basketball. I bought a 10.5 & a 10 to ensure i got my true size. Even with that, they just arent a good basketball shoe for a few reasons. 1) they're too clunky. meaning they just look a few sized too big even when youre wearing your true to size. 2) not as light as advertised. these didnt feel crazylight as the name would suggest. 3) heel slippage...constantly. I laced them up tight and my heel always managed to slide up a just a tad. Here are some of the things I liked or thought were ok... 1) great traction. one of the best ive experienced. 2)comfort was pretty good from heel to forefoot 3)and the quality is nice However, the bad outweigh the good in my opinion. I own about 10 pair of adidas shoes (UB, PB, stan smith, etc) and the Crazylight 2016 leave me feeling a bit disappointed; a feeling I rarely have with Adidas. I've worn them once to play basketball and would return them if I could. However, I dont think thats an option. Having said all this, I still like Adidas as a product and this shoe may work for some, but not all. ... read more
Not a wide foot friendly shoe, will have painful breaking in time in the fore foot area. If you have wide feet, its hard to say go up half a size cause if you do, then the shoe is to long and you will have a lot of dead space in toe area. I went up half a size in case my true size was to small for me. Overall it is a good shoe and upgraded so much than last year! ... read more
This shoe has everything a guard or even big man would want perfect traction and cushion. The shoes always have great traction even on the worst courts and for me that is very important, one other adidas did well in these is the support great ankle support for a low top shoe ... read more
Bought these yesterday and awsome gameplay from me just an more improved version of the 2015 version when euro-STEPPING in these i feel like game 6 in the semi-finals[THE WORDS ARE IN A EXCITEMENT VOICE} ........... #ANOTHER ONE ... read more
First things first - go 1/2 size down. Yea, standard awkward Adidas fit. But once you get that resolved, the fit is absolutely amazing. I questioned the "update" from the Crazy Light Boost 2015 to the 2.5 but as soon as you put it on, you'll realize why. The ankle portion of the shoe is like a sock and it just hugs everything around it. The shoe literally feels as if engineers designed a shoe just for my feet! ... read more
These shoes caught my eye from the moment I saw them on another site. I quickly bought them, anticipating my very first pair of lowtops that I actually would hoop in. The Primeknit upper and Boost Cushioning are the standout technical/ cosmetic features of this shoe. The asymmetrical lacing and "burrito wrap" design aid in stability. Forefoot cushioning is probably the reason I rate the shoe just shy of 5 stars. Even though I'm 33 and far removed from youthful condition, my knees hadn't ached after playing until wearing these. Once I threw in some PU insoles, however, this changed and I fell in love again. If you want a shoe that looks uniquely beautiful, this shoe is for you. If you want a shoe with function that matches the form, (buy an insole and then) this shoe is for you. ... read more
I bought this product right before my start of the year basketball tournament and arrived the day before. This is a great product for players like me who dive for the ball and play tough at the post. It wasn't heavy or restricting, but I do recommend going a size up so you don't have trouble pulling them up. Only thing that could've been better was the durability. When I dove once the padded part wasn't entirely on my knee so the floor caught the side of it and tore a small hole by the pad. Overall would recommend this to any physical player! ... read more
These knee pads stay in place even after playing 3 straight games in a hot gym no tugging and repositioning after every trip down the court. Worn other brands that do not match up with these, only wish they came in Navy! ... read more
The texture and fit are nice just to bully, I will say o was looking to use them for socccer, ha. But they would be nice if I played volleyball, but as for basketball would ask for a little shape, and sleeker design ... read more
If you plan on buying these then I advise you to order a size up then what you initially think, and also order another one two sizes up (return shipping is free). The sizes are all over the place. I am about a 15" (5'11, 176lb) calf but the large was very tight. Then I ordered a XL and it's still pretty tight. Would've loved to try out the XXL but I need these for a game pretty soon and don't think I'll receive the other pair in time. Other than the grip on the sizing it seems to offer a good amount of protection and the pads flex to your movements. ... read more
They look nice but the quality is a joke. They might offer some minimal protection you if you bump knees with an opponent but if you ever go down and or slide at all on the floor they will not protect you at all. ... read more
My 14yo player has wanted these for awhile. They are hard to find - happy to find the Adidas direct store. He likes them a lot, the size small fits a 100lb kid well. Did not realize only 1 came in the package when ordered from our reg online sports store. Then they out of stock there again. Adidas store had the other one we needed at the same price. Happy with them so far. ... read more
I have torn my meniscus in both knees and after wearing these pads they feel great. I wear these over other knee pads and they give me great support. I'm not recommending wearing these pads alone if you have knee problems but they do feel comfortable. They run small. I'm usually an xl but these I had to get 2xl. ... read more
I ordered two Large Black adidas Techfit adiPower Padded Leg Sleeves and I'll be ordering more. Since I needed a padded knee sleeve for both my knees, these do more than a good job. I torn the ACL in my right knee 10 years ago and these Padded Leg Sleeves give me the compression support, as well as, the protection from the padding to play basketball everyday. After playing with these padded knee sleeves for hours the pain in both knees has been reduced by at least 80% in the hours after taking them off. On top of these good qualities, the Graphic Knee Pads are an officially licensed product of the NBA and worn by Derrick Rose and many other NBA players around the league. The fit is great, with minimal sliding down your thigh and calf. Just make sure you wash them on delicate cycle in the washer and hang dry after so they last. 5-stars across the board and a must buy for anyone that plays basketball and other sports as well. ... read more
Great knee pads for basketball. They fit tight and just right. I went with a large just to be sure my calf is about 13 3/4 inches. Im 5'9 and they fit good. I just wished they were solid black but thats besides the performance. ... read more
This is a great knee pad. Great for basketball and athletic activities. Its very durable and comfortable. I bought these because my McDavid knee sleeves had holes and didn't look good :(( These are great and the real deal! so happy i bought these. I am a point guard for aau and travel so I have a lot of pressure in my knees so these helped a lot :) Great buy folks ... read more
DURABILITY & PERFORMANCE: My son has wore these to practice and games for a few months now and even took a very hard fall once and these have held up to the wear and tear. They haven't ripped and the foam hasn't come loose. PROTECTION: Overall they provide good protection, but for those very rare but very hard falls onto a hard surface it won't provide 100% protection. Despite wearing these knee pads, my son still got a big bump on his knee after that very hard fall. Thank goodness he was wearing knee pads or he would've had much more damage. FIT: We went according to the size chart and the fit was accurate. COMFORT: My son says these are very comfortable and do not restrict his movement. The fabric is very light weight but durable. In summary, this is by far the most durable and comfortable knee pad my son has tried. I would highly recommend these knee pads and plan on purchasing 2 more pairs for my daughter. ... read more
As someone who has had reconstructive knee surgery, I am looking for anything that offers support and protection without being cumbersome. While these are not a substitute for my brace, they provide a high level of support, protection and compression. When used in conjunction with my brace, I feel totally protected. If you have had knee problems or are just looking for lightweight padding and support, I highly recommend this sleeve! ... read more
The Adidas Graphic Kneepad fits great, gives plenty of support and protection and you don't feel sweaty. I purchased a medium for my son to use for his basketball games and it is perfect. No more bruised up knees. I'm very happy with the purchase. I do wish it would be packaged as a pair instead of only one. But the product is definitely top of the line. ... read more

Bio-inspired and non-conventional vision systems are highly researched topics. Among them, omnidirectional vision systems have demonstrated their ability to significantly improve the geometrical interpretation of scenes. However, few researchers have investigated how to perform object detection with such systems. The existing approaches require a geometrical transformation prior to the interpretation of the picture. In this paper, we investigate what must be taken into account and how to process omnidirectional images provided by the sensor. We focus our research on face detection and highlight the fact that particular attention should be paid to the descriptors in order to successfully perform face detection on omnidirectional images. We demonstrate that this choice is critical to obtaining high detection rates. Our results imply that the adaptation of existing object-detection frameworks, designed for perspective images, should be focused on the choice of appropriate image descriptors in the design of the object-detection pipeline.

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Israel said Monday that a breakthrough agreement had set Yasser Arafat free after five months confined to his compound, but the Palestinian leader stayed put for fear Israeli forces would storm the building and seize wanted militants inside.
Still, if the agreement sticks, one of three tense confrontations should be resolved in the coming days.
Israel is effectively keeping a U.N. fact-finding team from arriving, saying it fears an anti-Israel bias that will produce a highly critical report on Israel's military operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Palestinians called on the United Nations to send the team immediately, claiming Israel is trying to cover up the killings of large numbers of civilians, something Israel strongly denies.
At the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, an Israeli sniper killed a Palestinian militiaman when he walked into a courtyard of the compound, the army said. Talks there were deadlocked Monday on the crisis at the church, where more than 200 Palestinians are holed up inside, many of them armed.
Late Monday, Palestinian negotiator Imad Natshe said the two sides would meet again on Tuesday, and Secretary of State Colin Powell said in Washington that he expected the standoff could end soon.
"I think there is a solution," Powell said, providing no details. U.S. and Israeli officials said privately it probably would be based on Israel's proposal to offer the terror suspects holed up in the Church of the Nativity a choice of exile or trial in Israel. "I think it will be resolved in the near future," Powell said.
And in the latest Israeli military incursion, tanks and troops poured into Hebron in search of militants, leaving nine Palestinians dead in the West Bank town of Hebron.
In Ramallah, the crisis at Arafat's headquarters appeared near conclusion, but final details were still being worked out. Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers remained parked inside Arafat's compound, and sealed off city streets for several blocks in every direction.
Israel and the Palestinians both agreed Sunday to a U.S. proposal that restores Arafat's freedom of movement, and in exchange, six wanted men inside the compound will be imprisoned in a Palestinian jail, watched over by U.S. and British officials.
Under the plan, the six would be transferred to the West Bank town of Jericho, said Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo. The minister said Monday the six would be moved within 48 hours.
A makeshift Palestinian court has convicted four of the men of killing Israeli Cabinet Minister Rehavam Zeevi last October. The fifth man is the leader of the political faction that claimed responsibility for the killing and the sixth is an Arafat aide suspected of orchestrating a large arms smuggling operation.
Israel and the U.S. State Department both said Arafat was now free to go where he likes, including trips outside the Palestinian territory.
"Today, Arafat can go where he chooses," said Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher issued a similar statement: "He's free to go when and wherever he wants to go."
The Palestinians, however, said Arafat was not actually free and that if he tried to leave before the prisoners were transferred, Israel would seize the six men from the building.
The exact details of how the deal would work were sketchy. However, it appeared the first step would be to move the six wanted men to Jericho. Then, the Israeli troops are expected to withdraw, and finally, the Palestinian leader would emerge from his battered compound.
Israel clamped down on Arafat at the beginning of December, barring him from leaving Ramallah until he handed over those accused of Zeevi's killing. Arafat made a couple brief trips out of his compound and into the city, but worked and slept at his office building.
Israel gave its consent to ending Arafat's confinement with the understanding that the United States, in turn, would stand by Israel's side in an increasingly tense showdown with the United Nations over the fact-finding team, government officials said.
Israel's deputy defense minister, Dalia Rabin-Pelossof, said she believed "some sort of agreement was reached, some sort of deal, according to which (Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon gave up on his insistence that Arafat be isolated in his headquarters ... and we win U.S. backing concerning our reservations on the issue of the U.N. committee."
Israel has said it fears the team harbors an anti-Israel bias and has effectively kept them from arriving from Switzerland. Israel wants the inquiry to concentrate on the Palestinian terror infrastructure in the Jenin camp and demands that team members have expertise on military issues and anti-terrorism.
Israel says it waged eight days of heavy fighting in the camp to root out militants, estimating that about 50 Palestinians were killed, most of them hard-core fighters.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces took over Hebron early Monday, with tanks and armored personnel carriers driving in from all directions.
Nine Palestinians, including six civilians, were killed by Israeli fire, Palestinian witnesses said. In the bloodiest incident, a missile fired from an Israeli helicopter hit a one-story house, killing a gunman and four civilians. Two more civilians who rushed to the scene to try to help were killed by helicopter fire, witnesses said.
In downtown Hebron, Israeli troops lined up dozens of Palestinian men against a wall, handcuffing and blindfolding them. Several of the men knelt on the pavement, as Israeli troops stood guard. In previous incursions, Israel detained large numbers of people for questioning, and released most after several days.
Ben-Eliezer said troops arrested 17 Palestinians in Hebron, including several high on Israel's wanted list, and found two suitcases filled with explosives, as well as a car bomb ready for detonation.
Ben-Eliezer said troops wouldn't stay long. "We went there to hit that infrastructure (of terror groups) and to get out quickly," he said.
The Hebron incursion followed the weekend attack on the nearby Jewish settlement of Adora, in which four Israelis, including a 5-year-old girl, were killed. The militant Islamic group Hamas claimed responsibility for that attack.
Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat said Israel acted in bad faith by sending troops into Hebron. "The moment we accepted the American proposal (on Arafat's confinement), we have an incursion into Hebron," Erekat said. "Every time we show good will ... Israel slaps us in the face."

Raspberry-Swirl Cupcakes
From EatingWell: May/June 2010
These raspberry-lemon cupcakes are topped with an easy cream cheese frosting tinted pink with a little raspberry puree. For those unaccustomed to the mildly nutty flavor of whole-wheat flour (used in these cupcakes), the flavor of the raspberry puree swirled into the lemony cake makes the wheat flavor undetectable.
Makes: 12 cupcakes
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition ProfileView Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen (thawed and drained), plus 12 fresh berries for garnish (about 12 ounces total)
- 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (see Note)
- 3/4 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk (see Tip)
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), at room temperature
- 1 cup packed confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- To prepare cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners; coat the liners with cooking spray.
- Puree 2 cups raspberries and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract all the puree; discard seeds. Reserve 4 teaspoons of the puree for the frosting.
- Whisk whole-wheat flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat 3/4 cup granulated sugar and oil in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Beat in eggs, vanilla and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until well combined. With the mixer on low, alternately mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and ending with dry ingredients and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until just combined.
- Fill the prepared cups half full of batter. Place a scant tablespoon of raspberry puree on each cup (you may have some left over). Divide the remaining batter evenly among the cups. Use a wooden skewer or toothpick to swirl and fold the puree into the batter.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- To prepare frosting: Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and the reserved 4 teaspoons raspberry puree with an electric mixer until smooth. Refrigerate the frosting until very cold, at least 2 hours. Spread the frosting on the cooled cupcakes and decorate with a raspberry on top, if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the frosting (Step 7) for up to 3 days. Store cooled cupcakes airtight at room temperature for up to 1 day. | Equipment: Muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) cups, paper liners
- Ingredient Note: Look for whole-wheat pastry flour in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store in the freezer.
- Tip: No buttermilk? You can make "sour milk" as a substitute: mix 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup nonfat milk.
- DIY Muffin Cups: Make your next batch of muffins or cupcakes the ultimate grab-and-go treat by lining your tin with muffin liners. No liners? No problem. Use 5-inch squares of parchment paper, coat each muffin cup with cooking spray, and push each square into the cups using a small can or bottle, pressing the paper up the sides. (It's OK if some of the paper is sticking out over the rim.) Fill each cup as directed.

Data Sharing
IRS Commissioner Daniel Wefel testified at a congressional hearing when the official in charge of the Affordable Care Act was unable to attend. (File photo).
Despite concerns that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are behind schedule in preparing to implement the Affordable Care Act, leaders from CMS and the Internal Revenue Service testified before Congress on July 17 that their technologies will be ready for the data-sharing that will commence Oct. 1.
"The ACA designates HHS as the conduit for information being shared with the marketplace," said Daniel Werfel, the principal deputy commissioner of the IRS. "The taxpayer data supplied by the IRS will be transmitted over secure, encrypted channels to the HHS data hub, which was developed to facilitate these data transfers."
Werfel testified in the place of Sarah Hall Ingram, who is the head of the IRS ACA office and was invited to testify before the House joint subcommittee. Several lawmakers criticized Ingram for her absence.
"I have less confidence in today's hearing for only one reason: a key witness, Sarah Ingram, who has three years of full-time experience since the passage of the bill, in some inexplicable way finds herself unable to be here," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said.
Before stepping into her current role, Ingram was the head of the IRS office of tax exemption for organizations when conservative groups were allegedly targeted, making her an especially polarizing figure for many Republicans in Congress. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), ranking member on the panel's Energy Policy, Health Care and Entitlements Subcommittee, warned against making the hearing into a witch-hunt. Speier instead turned her concern to outside fraud and security threats to data-sharing related to the ACA.
"I believe that the hub has a bull's eye on it and that the potential for it being hacked is great," Speier said.
CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner, however, said there is a difference between the federal data hub and stored medical information.
"It is important to understand that the hub is not a database, it does not retain or store information," Tavenner said. "It is a routing tool that can validate applicant information from various trusted government databases through secure networks."
Henry Chao, CMS' deputy CIO and deputy director of the Office of Information Services, said the Government Accountability Office reported the federal data hub will cost $394 million. The vast majority of data exchanges through the hub have tested at less than 10 seconds, and the hub erases its copy of the information within minutes, he said.

Scientists have long wondered why women, on average, live longer than men.
Some have speculated that elevated levels of testosterone drive men to live fast and die young. But a new study points to a very different type of culprit – mitochondria – and an odd quirk in the way genes are passed down from one generation to the next.
Mitochondria are essentially tiny power plants that operate in each cell of the body. They convert oxygen, fats and sugars into usable energy.
The new research suggests mitochondria harbour genetic mutations that are potentially harmful to males, but not females. In particular, these mutations speed up the aging process, which can lead to early death for some men.
For the study, published in the journal Current Biology, the scientists focused on the genomes, or genetic blueprints, of mitochondria in fruit flies.
Their analysis revealed "there are a lot of male-harming mutations within the mitochondrial genome that are actually affecting the way in which male fruit flies age while having no negative effects on female aging," said the lead researcher, Damian Dowling, an evolutionary biologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
"This is very likely to be a general pattern that extends throughout the animal kingdom, including our own species," he added.
So what could be producing these genetic mutations that have very different effects on males and females?
Dr. Dowling points to a "loophole" in natural selection. While we are born with two copies of each gene – one from each parent, mitochondria genes are passed down only through females.
"So all daughters and all sons get 100 per cent of their set of mitochondrial genes from their mum," Dr. Dowling said.
"This means that evolution's quality control process, known as natural selection, only screens for quality of mitochondrial genes in mothers," he explained.
If mitochondrial genes were inherited from both the mother and the father, mutations that are deleterious to males would be less likely to pass from one generation to the next.
Because mitochondrial genes come from only the female line, however, a mutation that harms fathers but has no effect on mothers won't be easily eliminated from the genetic pool.
"Over thousands of generations, many such mutations have accumulated that harm only males, while leaving females unscathed."
Dr. Dowling says more research will be needed to identify the specific mutations that are contributing to a shorter life span in human males. This work, he added, could uncover ways of counteracting the harmful mutations so men can remain healthy longer.Report Typo/Error

A gunman dressed in police uniform opened fire at a youth camp of Norway's ruling political party on Friday, killing at least 80 people, hours after a bomb killed seven in the government district in the capital Oslo.
Witnesses said the gunman, identified by police as a 32-year-old Norwegian, moved across the small, wooded Utoeya holiday island firing at random as young people scattered in fear. Norwegian television TV2 said the gunman detained by police was described as tall and blond and had links to right-wing extremism.
"We had all gathered in the main house to talk about what had happened in Oslo. Suddenly we heard shots. First we thought it was nonsense. Then everyone started running," a survivor, 16—year-old called Hana told Norway's Aftenposten.

Ecosystems in the tropics are predicted to have stronger responses to nutrient enrichment, greater diversity, and more intense biotic interactions than in temperate areas. Mangrove forests, which occur across a broad biogeographic range from warm temperate to tropical, provide a unique opportunity to test these hypotheses by investigating the responses of herbivores to nutrient enrichment in temperate versus tropical latitudes. Mangroves are complex intertidal ecosystems with spatial differences in structure and diversity along tidal gradients and are threatened globally by human activities including nutrient over-enrichment. In this study, we used long-term fertilization experiments at the Indian River Lagoon, FL; Twin Cays, Belize; and Bocas del Toro, Panamá to determine how increased nutrients impact herbivore abundance and herbivory of Rhizophora mangle at the tree, forest, and regional scales. At these locations, which span approximately 2185 km and 18.4º of latitude, we fertilized individual trees with one of three treatments (Control, +N, +P) in two zones (fringe, scrub) along transects perpendicular to the shoreline and measured their responses for 4 years. Herbivory was measured as folivory, loss of yield, and tissue mining. Although nutrient enrichment altered plant growth, leaf traits, and nutrient dynamics, these variables had little effect on folivory at any location. Our results did not support the prediction that herbivory and per capita consumption are greatest at the most tropical location. Instead, folivory was highest at the most temperate location and lowest at the intermediate location. Folivory was generally higher in the fringe than in the scrub zone, but the pattern varied by location, herbivore, and nutrient treatment. Folivory by a dominant herbivore, Aratus pisonii, decreased from the highest to the lowest latitude. Our data suggest that factors controlling population dynamics of A. pisonii cascade to the mangrove canopy, linking herbivory to crab densities.

Though the script takes pains to paint George as a passive boy-man, there's just not enough lovable here and too much of the thoughtless lout. Butler beware: In acting as in soccer, if you keep taking dives, sooner or later you pay the penalty.
At some point you hope the actor (Butler) will find a movie that will give him the right material to make hearts truly beat faster. Until then, it appears we'll have to settle for films with more flaws than his characters.
Sometimes the movie swerves toward farce, sometimes into the zone of smiley family comedy and at other times into full-on weepiness. None of it is especially credible or engaging.
This saga of a former soccer star coaching his son's team in order to worm his way back into the heart of his ex-wife aims to be warm and funny. Alas, it is mechanical and exhausting, like a windup toy of a monkey crashing together cymbals for 106 minutes while incrementally winding down.
Style can be a risky thing in a movie like this, which aspires above all to inoffensiveness. Originally titled "Playing the Field," which was deemed too racy, this rom-com would have been more aptly renamed "Running Out the Clock."
There isn't a moment in the entire picture in which you will recognize an element of your own life.

Lewis' soccer team isn't doing to well, so when they need a coach George steps up. Not only do the kids love him, the Milfs love him too.

Apr 22, 2013Football films and cinema have never really meshed, they just don't translate well. To combat this Playing for Keeps keeps to the sidelines,Football films and cinema have never really meshed, they just don't translate well. To combat this Playing for Keeps keeps to the sidelines, looking at the supporters and the kids inspired by the game. However judging by the film I just watched, it's surprising that any part of the sport is inspiring, especially for the kids.
George (Gerard Butler plays a screw up ex footballer who is perpetually feeling sorry for himself. When he is forced to coach his sons team by his ex wife Stacie (jessica Biel) he is given an opportunity to prove himself the man he thinks he is, not the child everyone else does.
Now I know the word reprehensible is a little extreme but this film really is. I mean it doesn't compare to the horror of Die Hard 5 but Playing for Keeps is dreadful none the less. The script is awful, the characters interact in the most unnatural ways, the women behave like neanderthals for comedy's sake and rarely eliciting more than a chuckle. Bulter is a likable idiot but he only really entertains when playing the game and not talking. Dennis Quaid pops in and out of the film to annoy the viewer with his over the top business man father, a slimebag who is more alien than human. Biel is actually surprisingly good for once in her career but she can't stop the ship from sinking. In fact there are few acting problems, except for Quaid and Uma Thurman, whose shrillness makes her scenes unbearable. The problem is that the film has no direction,a message it never convincingly delivers and because of this, Playing for Keeps is nowhere near the inspirational story of a mans comeback into something so unbearably crass. Overall the film gives you characters you don't like, sets a tone that makes you think Farelly brothers instead of touching family drama and fails to convey why the game is so important to George and the kids that he coaches and fails to inspire.… Expand

Help us start campaigning in Scotland
The referendum result, after one of the most exciting and inspiring political debates the UK has seen, was for Scotland to stay within the UK. ORG did not take a position on the referendum, but we feel confident that the people of Scotland have shown that they can lead a democratic renewal: something we need to be a part of.
Major questions remain. What new powers will be devolved? How will our rights be embedded into the work of the Parliament? How will Scotland respond to the collective experience of engaging in a debate about the future of the nation?
We want to place citizens' digital rights at the heart of Scotland's politics. Prior to the referendum, there were debates that needed a voice like ours, to explain how privacy and free speech matter. Issues like Entitlement Cards, data sharing and powers for website blocking and libel prosecutions. These questions haven't gone away, and more powers will mean greater responsibility to get the answers right.
We now have a chance, as the result of a profound change in the levels of civic engagement in Scotland, reflected in the referendum turnout, to make ORG a leading voice to promote digital rights in Scotland.
And we are most of the way there. This summer, we started a campaign to get at least 90 new members in Scotland so we could hire a part time organiser. We have 60 new members so far.
Just 30 more will mean we can hire someone to start campaigning on these issues. If you live in Scotland, please join to help us start campaigning in Scotland. If you are an existing member, you can help by upgrading your membership.

Not being funny john but we could of stuck two legs of chicken high up the park and they would of scored the same if not more. There's been enough balls in the box for fucks sake. Darren has two left feet and both can't shoot and Paul parkers a cuntSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
OK - if that's 'a fact' then where have our goals come from? RK - no. Pav - no. JD - maybe.
So all our strikers are 'c**p' - is that then true?
Bent 10 in 17 and 4 in 5 in the UEFA..
Look at : http://www.spursodyssey.com/0809/apps.html
...and where does that then place Heskey - would you have Heskey in your team? And even more surprisingly what about old Berbatov (ok - so that has nothing to do with the Parker article)? Is he now a non-entity as well?
I say it again - Bent will never set a club alight - but he will get 15 goals a season for you (given that he's played - and not just as a sub).
I'm not a fan of Bent - but I find it annoying when people ignore what's in plain view and believe whatever 'hype' is flying around at the time.

John, my facts are these:
Bent is up there on his own. And he's never had a better opportunity to impress. He fucked it. Thats it. He's had more balls into the box than a filthy piece of trash
Two years ive given him. Like Clint Eastwood would say "Get off my lawn"

|In Short:
|The world is coming to an end. What's a vampire queen to do?
|Betsy "Please Don't Call Me Elizabeth" Taylor was run over by a Pontiac Aztek about three years ago. She woke up queen of the vampires...
The prophesied queen of the vampires, is at it again. In this, the tenth book of the Undead series we get another glimpse into the world of Betsy (NOT Elizabeth!) Taylor, and her entourage of family and friends.
Okay, so at the end of the last book, 2010's controversial Undead and Unfinished, Betsy and her sister Laura -- the Devil's daughter -- had travelled through time and found out that Betsy is the reason for the end of the world and that the Book Of the Dead just might be made out of the skin of her husband and consort Sinclair, King of the Vampires (ewww).
Arriving back in their own time, Betsy finds that she has landed in an altered time line, thanks to her meddling in history. What's a girl to do?
You make strawberry smoothies, of course. Then you call your sister (the literal Anti-Christ), who's acting oddly. You visit Satan's waiting room, annoy your dead step-monster, er, mother, who is guarding said waiting room. You yell and stomp, demand what you want, kick some butt and betray a friend. (it's not as productive as maybe you would have liked, but it gets the job done). Along the way, you do a little growing up. It does keep a Vampire Queen busy.
There are those of you who read Undead and Unfinished and swore "Never again!". "How could she have done that?!" you asked, and even "WTF??" Still, I recommend you give Undead and Undermined a try. This is Book 2 of an inter-series trilogy that began with the last one, and is looking to give MaryJanice Davidson's readers a real treat. We get to watch Betsy and friends grow, bond and mature in their signature comedic style. Who knows, maybe they'll actually be able to pull it all together and save themselves and the world in Undead and Unstable, the next Betsy offering.
And maybe, just maybe, Betsy will finally be able to be the Queen we all know she can be.

First calculating machine presented to Smithsonian. Washington, D.C., March 31. An old macaroni box filled with an arrangement of wheels, rubber bands, meat skewers and staples which was the forerunner of the modern key-driven, multiple-order calculating machine, was presented to the Smithsonian Institution today. The scarred old box was designed and constructed by Dorr E. Felt, young Chicago mechanic, 52 years ago when he first started in to solve the problem of what is now the modern calculating machine. Mrs. Raymond J. Koch, (right) oldest daughter of the late inventor, is shown making the prsentation to Dr. Charles G. Abbot, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In the center is Raymond J.

Refreshing spirits are a summer staple, but organic tastes with floral essences and herbal-flavors are trending right now. When crafting the perfect summer cocktail, think citrus heavy, thirst quenching and tart tasting for this season.
Rosewood bartenders say ginger, grapefruit and hibiscus are some of their favorite flavors to mix right now, but the key is creating a counterbalance by combining citrus with sweet, fruity flavors. Garry's Lounge bartenders add that summer is all about going heavy on the garnish, especially oranges. Local bartenders provide some of their favorite signature cocktails along with tips on how to host a hip cocktail party by serving the newest tastes.

A look at a Southern woman's hardships
Published: Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 7:26 p.m.
"Experiences of a Soldier's Wife in the Civil War" first appeared in the Western North Carolina Times on May 28, 1915.
Here is just a small portion:
"I am the mother of 17 children, of whom eight are dead and nine are living. My health is gone down until I am not able to work much; and sitting about and studying over my life I just thought I would write out a sketch of my war life to let the younger generation know a little of the poor Southern woman's trials and hardships ..."
Mary Middleton married Robert Frank Orr in January 1862. Mr. Orr went to the Confederate Army in the fall of 1862. He deserted the Confederate Army in the spring of 1863. He joined the Union Army in the fall of 1863.
"Father went too so I was left alone."
Mary went to live with her in-laws in Transylvania County from March 1864 to August 1864.
In August of 1864, her mother and nine children, Mary's brothers and sisters, walked 16 miles from their home in Henderson County to Transylvania County to tell Mary that her father in Knoxville, Tenn., had sent for them.
Mary's mother had sold all that she had for Confederate money except one cow that she sold for $13 in silver.
They began walking to Knoxville in August 1864 and arrived Sept. 5, 1864; they were on the road two weeks and four days.
Long, difficult journey
"We didn't have a yard of cloth nor a pound of coffee ... it was hot weather. We went to bed a many a time with our clothes all wet, got up the next morning, put on our wet clothes, and started again.
"We always started bright and early on our journey.
"One day we came to the mouth of Chucky River and we had to cross it in a canoe. I felt safe myself but my heart ached for fear some of us would be left in the water. When we had all crossed, we went our way rejoicing.
"We aimed to take the train at Morristown, but when we got there, there had been a big battle at Knoxville, and the Rebs had lost and as they fled back up the railroad they tore up the cross ties and piled them in heaps and set them afire and they were still burning when we got to Morristown.
"You may guess that was a sight for us for we had never seen a railroad before, and then to see it burning and knock us out of our ride —
"We walked the railroad to Flat Creek within 13 miles of Knoxville. Mother gave $3 of her money for a train ride to Knoxville ... But there we were in Knoxville and knew not which road to go to find Pa.
"We sat on a bench in the yard and Mother and I began to cry. We had left our little town, Hendersonville, empty — just the clothes on our backs and the money from the sale of our possessions.
"One of my sisters and I started the next morning to find him. We went two miles out on the Maryville road and inquired for 'Middleton.'
"It seemed like forever ... but then ... Pa was there and calling out our names. We knew his voice.
"We then went back ... and you can only guess at the meeting we got from the children. Though we had not a bed to sleep on, nor a chair to sit on, nor a table to eat on, we felt happy.
"In March 1865 my husband came home sick where he stayed until he was mustered out on August 18. We stayed in Tennessee for seven years."
Mary Middleton Orr lived until she was 82 years of age.

Author: Neil Gaiman
Illustrator: Andy Kubert
Those of you who are familiar with Neil Gaiman's work were probably as surprised as I was when I discovered that he partnered with Marvel to tell this story.
After all, The Sandman Series was put out by DC.
As far as I'm concerned, Sandman is the best comic ever. It manages to be a fabulous comic, a stunning work of art, and an epic tale.
Sandman redefined what comics could be. For once, people were really seeing that a comic could also be great literature. Gaiman continues this tradition in 1602 by turning the Marvel universe topsy-turvy.
1602 combines the stories of Virginia Dare, the first child born in the New World in the Roanoke Colony, the origins of the X-Men and their persecution by the Inquisition, and the capture of the Fantastic Four by Otto von Doom. Oh, and their subsequent rescue by Virginia, the X-Men, Daredevil, and Thor.
Sounds complicated, but this is Neil Gaiman we're talking about.
It all comes together beautifully.
And if it took me far longer to realize the true identity of Virginia's faithful guardian Rojhaz, well, that's just part of the fun!
As to precisely how long...
That shall remain my own rather embarrassing secret.

Hi, I have two questions:
1) When I publish a post with multiple authors/co-authors, instead of
"Written by Mathew and Elise"
it appear as:
"Written by Mathew andElise"
If it helps, my website is in spanish.
2) How can I change the color of the hyperlinks? I use the color red in my articles for the hyperlinks and looks fine, but looks horrible in the box containing the authors.
Thanks for your help :)

NEW YORK (September 10, 2013)-- Syria's decision to give up its chemical weapons sent stocks higher at the close Tuesday and the price of crude oil lower.

As one of the most competitive business schools in the United States, applicants are routinely turned away from the University of California, Berkeley's MBA program, reports CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes.
But Katherine Zimmerman, a successful computer consultant, says her application was rejected because she was a stay-at-home mom who worked part time. "I feel like they have basically refused to offer me an opportunity that I believe would make them proud, and help my daughters have a very positive future and role model as a business leader and a woman today," Zimmerman explains.
Despite being refused entrance three times, Zimmerman still wants to attend the school -- so she's suing for admission. She says, "I want them to recognize that raising children is a part of being fully employed."
In her lawsuit, Zimmerman claims a university admissions employee told her that 100 percent of stay-at-home mothers are rejected from the school's evening MBA program.
According to Zimmerman's attorney, Julia Sherwin, "We feel this across-the-board exclusion of people who don't work 40 hours a week in a paid position is really an exclusion of moms or women who work part time."
An annual study of the nation's leading business schools finds only one-third of enrolled students are female. This puts UC Berkeley -- at 38 percent -- above the U.S. average.
University officials wouldn't comment on the lawsuit, but they did admit the admissions policy for some programs at the campus' Haas School of Business requires full-time employment.
But business school admission consultants say that working part time is not a reason to be rejected. "I think the question for the school isn't so much, 'Is the person working part time or full time, or is the person working in their house or a ten story office building?'", says Sally Lannin, President of MBA Strategies. "More specifically they're asking, OK let's look at the total package of this applicant."
Zimmerman says her package of qualifications was in line with other students in the program, and the only thing holding her back was motherhood.
