Republic Airport Farmingdale, N.Y.-based Talon Air, an aircraft management and charter operator, has expanded its services after receiving FAA certification of its FAR Part 145 repair station. The MRO offers Talon's previously in-house maintenance services to the public. The new facility will focus on repairs, inspections and avionics installations for all classes of aircraft. "Following the issuance of the repair station certification, our licensed A&P mechanics immediately began a 72-month Gulfstream IV inspection," said Jason Figarsky, director of maintenance. The company recently completed construction of a 95,000-sq-ft hangar and office complex and converted its existing 40,000-sq-ft hangar into a 30,000-sq-ft maintenance facility with 10,000 sq ft of maintenance shops and office space. Additionally, a battery shop will be available to repair, replace or charge main and emergency batteries on Hawker Beechcraft products and other aircraft. Talon's AOG GoTeam provides rapid mobile response directly to an aircraft anywhere in the Northeast with the parts and tools necessary to return an aircraft to service. The MRO has both a mobile response vehicle and a Cessna 206 to respond to AOG situations.

UN warns of humanitarian crisis in Zamboanga
Alarm over plight of thousands caught up in clashes
Displaced families set up a temporary shelter in Zamboanga (Photo by Erwin Mascarinas)
ucanews.com reporter, Zamboanga City
September 26, 2013
The United Nations has warned that the southern city of Zamboanga is facing a "humanitarian crisis" as fighting continued between government troops and Islamic militants today.
Luiza Carvalho, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in the Philippines, estimated more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed, leading to the displacement of more than 109,000 people in Zamboanga City and 19,000 more in nearby Basilan province.
"We are increasingly alarmed by the situation and the growing needs of people caught up with violence," Carvalho said in a statement yesterday.
"There is a real risk of a disease outbreak and an urgent need for food, drinking water, health services, cooking utensils, tents and other necessities," she added.
"We are particularly concerned that aid is delivered in an impartial manner, with the needs of the most vulnerable met and those outside the evacuation centers not forgotten," said Carvalho.
The Australian government announced that it will provide up to A$252,000 (US$236,550) in emergency aid for families left homeless by the crisis.
"We are deeply concerned by the recent violence in Mindanao and the effect this has had on local people," said Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Bill Tweddell.
Meanwhile, the fighting showed no signs of ending despite government assurances a few days ago that the rebels were nearly defeated in Zamboanga.
Ongoing clashes between government forces and rebel Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighters left five soldiers and three rebels dead early today as fighting continued into a third week.
The hostilities also resulted in the capture of 45 MNLF fighters and the rescue of six hostages. At least 11 other soldiers were also reported injured in the gun battle as the military conducted clearing operations in three villages earlier occupied by rebels.
"The rogue MNLF elements encountered by the marines this morning had been in the area since day one," said Major Angelo Guzman, military deputy public affairs office chief.
As of 6am today, 173 people have been killed in the Zamboanga violence, 138 of them rebels and 12 civilians.
The military has said that 162 rebels have been captured and 56 surrendered but the number remaining at large is still an unknown.
"We are still doing an assessment. The operating troops are talking to the hostages and those who were captured to validate how many (MNLF fighters) are left," said military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Ramon Zagala.

Tozer on Organization
Continuing the theme of organization and institutionalization, I thought I would share this quote from A.W. Tozer from a compendium of quotes called Tozer on Christian Leadership:
We in the churches seem unable to rise above the fiscal philosophy which rules the business world; so we introduce into our church finances the psychology of the great secular institutions so familiar to us all and judge a church by its financial report much as we judge a bank or a department store.
A look into history will quickly convince any interested person that the true church has almost always suffered more from prosperity than from poverty. Her times of greatest spiritual power have usually coincided with her periods of indigence and rejection; with wealth came weakness and backsliding. If this cannot be explained, neither apparently can it be escaped.
The point I am trying to make here is that while money has a proper place in the total life of the church militant, the tendency is to attach to it an importance that is far greater than is biblically sound or morally right. The average church has so established itself organizationally and financially that God is simply not necessary to it. So entrenched is its authority and so stable are the religious habits of its members that God could withdraw Himself completely from it and it could run on for years on its own momentum.
What do you think? Is Tozer correct? Has the average modern "church" so established itself organizationally (institutionally) that God is no longer necessary? Or, is this simply a provocative, hyperbolic statement that can be ignored?

From my experience I would say Tozer may be on to something, though I think he may have exaggerated his statement a bit.
I don't necessarily think God could be pulled completely out of churches. I do think there are many that do little more than pay lip service to him so they keep getting paid.
I actually agree and I don't believe it to be an exaggeration I am saying this happens everyday (Olsteen, Jakes, Dollar God isn't invovled in such places as far as I can tell).
We have become so proficient at "churching" that we can do it without even thinking much about it. With the local church dominated by marketing techniques and psyhcological manipulation we have become behavioral manipulated. There are many who haven't bought into this and I am thankful and their are others in it who are seeing its effect and the Spirit is working to convict them. In the end Christ will build His chuch becuase He loves her and that helps me rest at night!
I also agree completely with Tozer's statement.
As to your second question about 'the average modern "church"',I think he answers it well in his book "Tragedy in the Church,The Missing Gifts", "Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded."
I don't think Tozer was given to hyperbole, and that the situation is far worse now than when he made this statement decades ago.
From reading other books by Tozer, I also do not think that he is given to hyperbole. Thus, I think that Tozer mean this statement as a description of the churches of his time – the 1950's, I believe. And, like Aussie John suggested, I think that things are about the same or worse now. We do many good things, and I think that God accomplishes many excellent things. The question that I have to ask myself and others is this: Is God accomplishing his will through the "churches" or in spite of them?
Do we manage our money to God's glory as good stewards or possibly because we have not the faith to live without the security of a bank account?
Two separate churches may have the same bottom line and a completely different motive in the collective heart.
I would say that it is an accurate statement. A statement that we should not wear as a badge of honor, but accurate.
I also agree with Tozer's statement. It's amazing how fortified the assets are, of some of the churchy institutions today. It seems that the better off they are financially the more worthless they are.
I believe that many such churches are running themselves today with out any help from the Lord.
Lionel, another name I'll add to your list is Parsley. Though I could go on and on.
Thanks again for the comments. I learn alot and I'm often challenged after reading everyone's comments.
Tozer is, as ever, spot on. Not in every church but in far too many. Pastors need to encourage us to live by faith, which invariably means takings risks! However, generally, we make sure we have finance to cover us before we even start a new programme!
Wow, I like this author's voice! I agree with all that he wrote here. Actually, I think he could have been more pointedly expounding, just kidding. I am going to look up some writings by this author to read, I think it is a great idea. Thanks
What is the Holy Spirit's role in the body of Christ ? Is it not to EMPOWER God's Children to portray the Peace of Christ in this tumultous world? Does the Spirit of God need money to teach His Children to live Godly lives? Sorry its a big no, but the Church, having a component of fleshly needs because its flesh, may need to keep some money in order to fulfill those fleshly needs. Not her needs alone but the material needs of the less fortunate in the world, however, in its strife to help those in need outside the body it should not over-burden itself with too many of such projects so as to OVERIDE its principal goal……to propagate the holy lifestyle of Christ to the world. If the church becomes TOO ATTACHED to so many fleshly projects that require so much money to accomplish….when will it get the time for its Spiritual or True duty? If the church sows in flesh it will reap fleshly gain, and if it sows in Spirit, it would yield a spiritual body of christ which is His TRUE BODY.
Our call as a Body of Christ has a fleshly dimension to it but Organizing the church as a befitting Spiritual Bride to our Spiritual Father, His Spiritual Son and The Spirit, is most beneficial and our prime goal, UNDULY DWELLING on anything LESS is out of "spirit" to our True call. I cannot emphasize this enough.
The present church as I see it now , in its zealous clamour for money does not really need God, why?…..because its married to Mammon.

#include <stat.h>Function Variants Compiling with the _DECC_V4_SOURCE and _VMS_V6_SOURCE feature-test macros defined enables a local-time-based entry point to the stat function that is equivalent to the behavior before OpenVMS Version 7.0.
int stat (const char *file_spec, struct stat *buffer); (ISO POSIX-1)
int stat (const char *file_spec, struct stat *buffer, ...); (HP C EXTENSION)
Compiling with the _USE_STD_STAT feature-test macro defined enables a variant of the stat function that uses an X/Open standard-compliant definition of the stat structure. The _USE_STD_STAT feature-test macro is mutually exclusive with the _DECC_V4_SOURCE and _VMS_V6_SOURCE macros.
file_specA valid OpenVMS or UNIX style file specification (no wildcards). Read, write, or execute permission of the named file is not required, but you must be able to reach all directories listed in the file specification leading to the file. For more information about UNIX style file specifications, see Chapter 1.
bufferA pointer to a structure of type stat . For convenience, a typedef stat_t is defined as struct stat in the <stat.h> header file.
This argument receives information about the particular file. The members of the structure pointed to by buffer are described in the Description section.
...An optional default file-name string.
This is the only optional RMS keyword that can be specified for the stat function. See the description of the creat function for the full list of optional RMS keywords and their values.
When the _USE_STD_STAT feature-test macro is not enabled, the legacy stat structure is used. When _USE_STD_STAT is enabled, the X/Open standard-compliant stat structure is used.
Legacy stat Structure
With the _USE_STD_STAT feature-test macro defined to DISABLE, the following legacy stat structure is used:
Member Type Definition st_dev dev_t Pointer to the physical device name st_ino[3] ino_t Three words to receive the file ID st_mode mode_t File "mode" (prot, dir,...) st_nlink nlink_t For UNIX system compatibility only st_uid uid_t Owner user ID st_gid gid_t Group member: from st_uid st_rdev dev_t UNIX system compatibility -- always 0 st_size off_t File size, in bytes. For st_size to report a correct value, you need to flush both the C RTL and RMS buffers. st_atime time_t File access time; always the same as st_mtime st_mtime time_t Last modification time st_ctime time_t File creation time st_fab_rfm char Record format st_fab_rat char Record attributes st_fab_fsz char Fixed header size st_fab_mrs unsigned Record size
The types dev_t , ino_t , off_t , mode_t , nlink_t , uid_t , gid_t , and time_t , are defined in the <stat.h> header file. However, when compiling for compatibility (/DEFINE=_DECC_V4_SOURCE), only dev_t , ino_t , and off_t are defined.
The off_t data type is either a 32-bit or 64-bit integer. The 64-bit interface allows for file sizes greater than 2 GB, and can be selected at compile time by defining the _LARGEFILE feature-test macro as follows:
As of OpenVMS Version 7.0, times are given in seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970).
The st_mode structure member is the status information mode defined in the <stat.h> header file. The st_mode bits are described as follows:
Bits Constant Definition 0170000 S_IFMT Type of file 0040000 S_IFDIR Directory 0020000 S_IFCHR Character special 0060000 S_IFBLK Block special 0100000 S_IFREG Regular 0030000 S_IFMPC Multiplexed char special 0070000 S_IFMPB Multiplexed block special 0004000 S_ISUID Set user ID on execution 0002000 S_ISGID Set group ID on execution 0001000 S_ISVTX Save swapped text even after use 0000400 S_IREAD Read permission, owner 0000200 S_IWRITE Write permission, owner 0000100 S_IEXEC Execute/search permission, owner
The stat function does not work on remote network files.
If the file is a record file, the st_size field includes carriage-control information. Consequently, the st_size value will not correspond to the number of characters that can be read from the file.
Also be aware that for st_size to report a correct value, you need to flush both the C RTL and RMS buffers.
Standard-Compliant stat Structure
With OpenVMS Version 8.2, the _USE_STD_STAT feature-test macro and standard-compliant stat structure are introduced in support of UNIX compatibility.
With _USE_STD_STAT defined to ENABLE, you get the following behavior:
- Old struct stat definitions
Old definitions of struct stat are obsolete. You must recompile your applications to access the new features. Existing applications will continue to access the old definitions and functions unless they are recompiled to use the new features.
- Function variants
Calls to stat , fstat , lstat , and ftw accept pointers to structures of the new type. Calls to these functions are mapped to the new library entries __std_stat , __std_fstat , __std_lstat , and __std_ftw , respectively.
- Compatibilities with other feature macros
_DECC_V4_SOURCE source-code compatibility is not supported. You must not enable _DECC_V4_SOURCE and _USE_STD_STAT at the same time.
_VMS_V6_SOURCE binary compatibility is not supported. You must not enable _VMS_V6_SOURCE and _USE_STD_STAT at the same time. As a result, only UTC (rather than local-time) is supported for the time_t fields.
- Type changes
The following type changes are in effect:
- 32-bit gid type gid_t is used. _DECC_SHORT_GID_T is unsupported.
- _LARGEFILE offsets are used. off_t is forced to 64 bits.
- Type ino_t , representing the file number, is an unsigned int quadword (64 bits). Previously, it was an unsigned short .
- Type dev_t , representing the device id, is an unsigned int quadword (64 bits). Previously, it was a 32-bit character pointer. The new type is standard because it is arithmetic.
- Types blksize_t and blkcnt_t are added and defined as unsigned int quadwords (64 bits).
- Structure member Changes
- Two members are added to struct stat :
blksize_t st_blksize; blkcnt_t st_blocks;
According to the X/Open standard, st_blksize is the filesystem-specific preferred I/O blocksize for this file. On OpenVMS systems, st_blksize is set to the device buffer size multiplied by the disk cluster size. st_blocks is set to the allocated size of the file, in blocks. The blocksize used to calculate st_blocks is not necessarily the same as st_blksize and, in most cases, will not be the same.
- In struct stat , member st_ino is of type ino_t . In previous C RTL versions, it was of type ino_t [3] (array of 3 ino_t ). Since ino_t has changed from a word to a quadword, the size of this member has increased by one word. The principal significance of this change is that it makes st_ino a scalar, which is how most open source applications define it.
- The new definition of ino_t also affects applications that include the <dirent.h> header file. In struct dirent , member d_ino changes in the same way as the st_ino member of struct stat in <stat.h> .
- Several macros that are not part of any standard were introduced in <stat.h> to facilitate access to the constituent parts of ino_t values:S_INO_NUM(ino), S_INO_SEQ(ino), and S_INO_RVN(ino) return the FILES-11 file number, sequence number, and relative volume number of ino, respectively, as unsigned short s.
S_INO_RVN_RVN(ino) returns the byte of the RVN field containing the relative volume number;
S_INO_RVN_NMX(ino) returns the byte of the RVN field containing the file number extension.
Although individual components can be broken out like this, they are not part of the X/Open standard and should not be relied on in portable applications.
- Semantic changes
Values of type dev_t are now unique for each device across clusters. An algorithm based on device name and allocation class or SCSSYSTEMID (for single-pathed devices) calculates the device id value having these characteristics, an X/Open standard requirement. Typically, the combination of file number and device id uniquely identifies a file in a cluster.
This change affects stat structure members st_dev and st_rdev . For compatibility with previous releases, st_rdev is set to either 0 or st_dev .
Note (ALPHA, I64)
On OpenVMS Alpha and I64 systems, the stat , fstat , utime , and utimes functions have been enhanced to take advantage of the new file-system support for POSIX compliant file timestamps.
This support is available only on ODS-5 devices on OpenVMS Alpha systems beginning with a version of OpenVMS Alpha after Version 7.3.
Before this change, the stat and fstat functions were setting the values of the st_ctime , st_mtime , and st_atime fields based on the following file attributes:st_ctime - ATR$C_CREDATE (file creation time)
st_mtime - ATR$C_REVDATE (file revision time)
st_atime - was always set to st_mtime because no support for file access time was available
Also, for the file-modification time, utime and utimes were modifying the ATR$C_REVDATE file attribute, and ignoring the file-access-time argument.
After the change, for a file on an ODS-5 device, the stat and fstat functions set the values of the st_ctime , st_mtime , and st_atime fields based on the following new file attributes:st_ctime - ATR$C_ATTDATE (last attribute modification time)
st_mtime - ATR$C_MODDATE (last data modification time)
st_atime - ATR$C_ACCDATE (last access time)
If ATR$C_ACCDATE is zero, as on an ODS-2 device, the stat and fstat functions set st_atime to st_mtime .
For the file-modification time, the utime and utimes functions modify both the ATR$C_REVDATE and ATR$C_MODDATE file attributes. For the file-access time, these functions modify the ATR$C_ACCDATE file attribute. Setting the ATR$C_MODDATE and ATR$C_ACCDATE file attributes on an ODS-2 device has no effect.
For compatibility, the old behavior of stat , fstat , utime , and utimes remains the default, regardless of the kind of device.
The new behavior must be explicitly enabled by defining the DECC$EFS_FILE_TIMESTAMPS logical name to ENABLE before invoking the application. Setting this logical does not affect the behavior of stat , fstat , utime , and utimes for files on an ODS-2 device.
0 Indicates success. - 1 Indicates an error other than a privilege violation; errno is set to indicate the error. - 2 Indicates a privilege violation.
Gets information about a device containing the specified file.
#include <statvfs.h>
int statvfs (const char *restrict path, struct statvfs *restrict buffer);
pathAny file on a mounted device.
bufferPointer to a statvfs structure to hold the returned information.
The statvfs function returns descriptive information about the device containing the specified file. Read, write, or execute permission of the specified file is not required. The returned information is in the format of a statvfs structure, which is defined in the <statvfs.h> header file and contains the following members:unsigned long f_bsize - Preferred block size.
unsigned long f_frsize - Fundamental block size.
fsblkcnt_t f_blocks - Total number of blocks in units of f_frsize .
fsblkcnt_t f_bfree - Total number of free blocks. If f_bfree would assume a meaningless value due to the misreporting of free block count by $GETDVI for a DFS disk, then f_bfree is set to the maximum block count.
fsblkcnt_t f_bavail - Number of free blocks available. Set to the unused portion of the caller's disk quota.
fsfilcnt_t f_files - Total number of file serial numbers (for example, inodes).
fsfilcnt_t f_ffree - Total number of free file serial numbers. For OpenVMS systems, this value is calculated as freeblocks/clustersize.
fsfilcnt_t f_favail - Number of file serial numbers available to a non-privileged process (0 for OpenVMS systems).
unsigned long f_fsid - File system identifier. This identifier is based on the allocation-class device name. This gives a unique value based on device, as long as the device is locally mounted.
unsigned long f_flag - Bit mask representing one or more of the following flags:ST_RONLY - The volume is read-only.
ST_NOSUID - The volume has protected subsystems enabled.
unsigned long f_namemax - Maximum length of a file name.
char f_basetype[64] - Device-type name.
char f_fstr[64] - Logical volume name.
char __reserved[64] - Media type name.
Upon successful completion, statvfs returns 0 (zero). Otherwise, it returns - 1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
See also fstatvfs .
0 Sucessful completion. - 1 Indicates an error. errno is set to one of the following:
- EACCES - Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
- EIO - An I/O error occurred while reading the device.
- EINTR - A signal was caught during execution of the function.
- EOVERFLOW - One of the values to be returned cannot be represented correctly in the structure pointed to by buffer.
- ENAMETOOLONG - The length of a component of the path parameter exceeds NAME_MAX, or the length of the path parameter exceeds PATH_MAX.
- ENOENT - A component of path does not name an existing file, or path is an empty string.
- ENOTDIR - A component of the path prefix of the path parameter is not a directory.

VILLANOVA, Pa. — USF couldn't win a second straight Big East road game, struggling with its shooting and losing 72-59 Wednesday at the cozy 6,500-seat Pavilion.
It was Villanova's 15th consecutive victory at the Pavilion and its 11th in a row this season while keeping its NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The Wildcats, looking for their fourth straight berth in the NCAA Tournament, are 18-11, 8-9 in the conference.
"It's disappointing," USF coach Stan Heath said. "You're always looking to build around a win like that (against Rutgers). I didn't think we did it."
USF (12-18, 3-14), which has lost 14 of 16, got 29 points from Big East rookie of the week Dominique Jones, who extended his freshman scoring mark to 511.
Chris Howard added nine points for the Bulls, who shot 17-of-54 from the field (32 percent) and 4-of-23 on 3-pointers.
"We had open shots," Jones said. "We just didn't knock them down."
Heath pointed to Villanova's suffocating defense as a reason for the poor shooting.
"They were the more aggressive team," Heath said. "The way they got after it defensively got us out of our rhythm."
Shane Clark paced Villanova with 15 points and Scottie Reynolds had nine.
USF missed 22 of its first 26 shots and fell behind 33-16 with 2:47 remaining in the first half.
The Bulls wound up 5-of-25, including 2-of-12 from 3-point land, and trailed 35-21 at halftime. With seven missed free throws (9-of-16) and seven turnovers, they were fortunate to be facing just a 14-point deficit.
USF got within 44-38 on a layup by Jones with 11:28 left. Villanova responded with a 9-2 run capped by a 3-pointer and basket from Clark for a 53-40 advantage with 6:56 left.
Kentrell Gransberry was 3-of-9 on free throws and finished with five points and eight rebounds, fouling out with 5:43 left.
USF plays its season finale Saturday against No. 19 Notre Dame at the Sun Dome.
"It's going to be hard," Heath said. "We're going to have to play a whole lot better."

Gin Blossoms debut Australian tour
2012 has been the year of the '90s nostalgia tours from Aqua, Vengaboys, Crazy Town, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber, Def FX, and Hanson and now the Gin Blossoms have signed up for their first ever Australian tour. They'll be touring in summer 2013 playing mid-90s hits like 'Hey Jealousy', 'Found Out About You', and 'Til I Hear It From You' from the Empire Records movie soundtrack in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.
When FL spoke to Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jnr, Sebadoh) last year he told us that he doesn't really have any guilty pleasures – "I listen to pop music, love hipsters, follow trends and hate the concept of credibility". However, when pushed, he nominated the Gin Blossoms' New Miserable Experience as his 'guilty pleasure' as it "furrows the brow of anyone I mention it to". Barlow explained that singer Robin Wilson has a beautiful voice and that 'Found Out About About You' is "one of the great American pop songs, up there with Big Star's 'September Gurls' or the Left Banke's 'Walk Away Renee'".
After a hiatus that lasted from 1997 until 2002 the Gin Blossoms regrouped and have since released two albums − 2006's Major Lodge Victory and 2010's No Chocolate Cake. The band recently appeared on Summerland nostalgia tour with Everclear, Sugar Ray, LIT and Marcy Playground. (We can only assume thay Harvey Danger didn't return the promoter's phone calls.) Everclear's lead singer Art Alexakis recently told FL that he would love to bring Summerland to Australia, but for now we'll have to make do with this run of headline gigs.
Gin Blossoms tour:
Thursday, February 7 – HiFi, Melbourne
Friday, February 8 – HiFi, Brisbane
Saturday, February 9 – HiFi, Sydney
Sunday, February 10 – Capital, Perth

First Endurance EFS Liquid Shot Flask Box of 6
The First Endurance EFS Liquid Shot was developed after years of research and considerable feedback from athletes. The issues raised revolved around several areas: digestion, absorption, practical use, ability to control amount used at one time, and reduction of waste. The EFS Liquid Shot provides the ingredients you need to maximize endurance and performance with exceptional uptake and absorption. Unlike a gel packet you can easily swallow a partial serving or servings at any time and the flask is reusable. Each 5oz Liquid Shot flask has a re-sealable pop-top that screws off for easy refilling and if you decide to move on from a flask, it is 100% recyclable. And First Endurance offers a 32oz refill option. The refill allows you to wash and re-use the handy and convenient flasks from this box of 6.
Each 5 ounces of EFS Liquid Shot delivers 400 high-quality calories, 1000mg of amino acids, and more than 1500mg of electrolytes so you don't need to bother taking extra electrolyte pills. It does not contain any gelling agents because First Endurance found gelling agents slowed absorption and digestion. Generally the flavors are sweet and the liquid itself thinner than gel, thicker than whole milk. The experts at First Endurance offer you the EFS line to provide energy and electrolytes in the best manner that works for you as an athlete. While it is true that runners and triathletes are more likley to use flasks, cyclists have gravitated toward the system for it's simple use, easy pocket storage, and environmental advantages over individual gel packets.
- Pack of six, 5oz bottles of energy/electrolyte Liquid Shot, ideal for endurance athletes
- Flasks are reusable (32oz bottle available), easy to clean and 100% recyclable
- Sweet flavors, more of a liquid consistency than gels, can be used in small amounts
- EFS Liquid Shot does not contain gelling agents that slow down absorption/digestion
- 400 calories/serving: 110g carbs, amino acid blend, electrolytes, magnesium, chloride
- Sodium 400mg, Potassium 290mg, Calcium 150mg, Magnesium 120mg
- Flavors: Vanilla, Mocha or Mountain Huckleberry

I really like EFS liquid shot as a change of pace, low viscosity and the handy flask. Most importantly, this stuff works. It kicks in almost immediately and, although it is sweet, a quick swig after ingesting and your good to go. Rotate this with Roctanes and Stinger waffles and you"ll ripping it up for miles!!
AnonymousPosted on 5/22/2011 9:23:24 AM
I find that EFS products are unpleasantly sweet, in a cheap simple sugar sort of way. This gel actually burns the back of my throat and irritates my gums because it is so sweet.

They all had three-bass limits that weighed over 21 pounds. There were 11 fish weighed in that were bigger than eight pounds apiece.
The Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge group has been awarded the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southwest Region Friends Award. Hagerman is a 12,000-acre wildlife refuge near Pottsboro, bordering Lake Texoma. The Friends of Hagerman group was established to protect, support and enhance the refuge.

Russia's Caucasus: breeding ground for terror
MAKHACHKALA, Russia — Militants from Chechnya and other restive provinces in Russia's volatile North Caucasus have targeted Moscow and other areas with bombings and hostage-takings, but if it turns out that the suspects in the Boston bombings are linked to those insurgencies it would mark the first time the Russian conflict had spawned a major terror attack in the United States.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechens with ties to the Russian region. There was no immediate information of their links, if any, to any insurgent group.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a gun battle with police in Massachusetts overnight, officials said. His 19-year-old brother escaped.
Before moving to the United States, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lived briefly in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic that has become the epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya. On his page on the social networking site VKontakte, Tsarnaev said he attended School No. 1 from 1999 until 2001.
The principal of School No. 1 in Makhachkala, Irina Bandurina, told the AP that Tsarnaev left for the U.S. in March 2002.
The suspects' father, who lives in Makhachkala, told the AP his younger son was a second-year medical student and "a true angel."
The conflict in Chechnya began in 1994 as a separatist war, but quickly morphed into an Islamic insurgency dedicated to carving out an independent Islamic state in the Caucasus.

Opinion of .30 Carbine for deer hunting
View Single Post

.30 carbine was never designed to maim enemys and its ballistics overshadow the .357 magnum which is considered GTG on deer in most places.
The .30 Carbine was designed to be a replacement arm for the 1911A1 pistol, in the hands of service and support troops. Training someone to be able to actually make hits with the pistol at beyond point blank range is often a lengthy and time consuming matter. With a war on, troops that were NOT intended to be combat troops, yet still needing a weapon, were well served with a light carbine that they could make hits with out to 100yds or so when needed.
The Carbine quickly found favor with the combat troops, because it was light, held a lot of rounds (15) and was powerful enough to be useful in combat. Note that useful is not the same as efficient or highly effective.
As far as the .30 carbine round's ballistics "overshadowing" the .357 Mag, I don't know what ballistic tables you are looking at, but I'd love to see them, because the .30 carbine does NOT overshadow the .357 in any effective way.
Compare them both out of a carbine and the .357 gets as much, or more velocity, with heavier bullets, and is capable of shooting much heavier bullets than the carbine. Also, .357 bullets are much better shaped and suited to hunting than .30 carbine bullets.
The .30 Carbine round comes close to the .357, but only close, and in the game fields, at the speeds these two are capable of, bullet weight and construction are very significant and in that, the .357 has a clear edge.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

Whatever Happened To The Kendalls?
Subscribe to KXRB-AM on
The history of Country Music is filled with toe-tappin' sing-a-long songs. Country Music is also filled with cheatin' songs. Put those two things together and what you have is a Grammy Award winning massive Country Music hit!
That's what happened in 1977.
Subscribe to KXRB-AM on
You couldn't get away from The Kendalls 'Heaven's Just A Sin Away', and you didn't want to. In fact, when it came on the radio, you just had to turn it up and sing along.
The Kendalls had other hits, over 30 that made the Country Music charts including two other #1 hit's, 'Sweet Desire' and 'Thank God For The Radio'. But 'Heaven's Just A Sin Away'? Well that, as they say, is what's called a 'signature song'.
So whatever happened to the singers of that great classic, The Kendalls?
Well, the Kendalls were the father/daughter duet out of St. Louis, Missouri. Father Royce passed away in 1998 at the age of 62 from a stroke. Daughter Jeannie continues to perform and record as a solo act.
The Kendalls last trip up the Country Charts was in 1984. They won the Grammy in 1978 for Best Country Vocal For A Duo Or Group.

ST. CLOUD, MN (KNSI) – A 17 year-old boy from Clear Lake who crashed head-on into another vehicle Monday night in St. Cloud has died from his injuries, according to St. Cloud police.
Authorities are still trying to determine exactly what caused the crash that killed Joseph Matthew Kuntz. The accident occurred just before 6 p.m. in the 26-hundred block of Third Street North.
When police and ambulance personnel arrived, they found Kuntz pinned underneath his truck on the passenger side. He was carefully removed from the wreckage and taken to St. Cloud Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The other driver, 26 year-old Amanda Binkley of Royalton, had only minor injuries.
Police shut down the roadway around the crash site for a couple of hours last night as the State Patrol was on the scene to reconstruct the accident.

Travelers on Delta, Northwest and other airlines operating under bankruptcy protection might face longer lines, delays and fuller and less frequent flights, but it's "business as usual" at Delta AirElite, according to a spokesman.
"There will be no effect on our ability to serve our charter, membership or aircraft management customers," the spokesman said. "We remain fully committed to meeting our customers' travel needs and are focused on the same superior level of service they have come to expect from us for the past 21 years."
The company, which the spokes- man described as a "profitable subsidiary of Delta Air Lines," operates 19 managed and owned business jets based at various locations in the U.S. Delta also operates the Delta AirElite Jet Center at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. It is the only FBO at the airport and it too "will continue as a full-service FBO," said the spokesman.
Delta is the only U.S. airline that fully owns a business jet charter and management subsidiary and an FBO.

Yet another "error establishing a database connection" post.
Hey everyone,
I know this seems to be a common problem. But when I try to run install.php this is what I get:
"Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down."
I am absolutely 100% positive that the name, user, password, and host are all correct in the configuration file. I can see the database in the web-based control panel provided by my web hosting provider — it is not reporting any problems with it, although it doesn't give me the option to do anything but just create it.
I have 5 domain names registered with this one host. This one I'm trying to work WordPress with is just one of those five. I don't know if this is relevent but I thought it was unusual — if I access http://ftp.mydomain.com with SmartFTP or with a web browser, it brings me to a directory that includes directories for all the domains registered to this account (my provider is M6.net), and I have to double click two directories away, both named samuelaxon.com, before I get to the one that actually has my website and WordPress in it.
As I said I don't know if that's relevent but it's the only unique circumstance I can think of.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do here? M6.net support only guarantees support responses within 24 hours on weekdays and the person who is the main owner of this setup and this hosting account (not me) is both impossible to get a hold of and very likely just as clueless as I am.
Thanks for your help.

Happenings in the Bernardin Center
Catholic Common Ground Initiative Hosted the Murnion Lecture at CTU
In June the Catholic Common Ground Initiative (CCGI) hosted its annual Murnion Lecture, named in honor of the late Monsignor Philip Murnion, founder and former Director of the National Pastoral Life Center. This year's lecture, "Communion Across Generations," was given by Sister Patricia Wittberg, S.C., professor at Indiana University and noted sociologist. From a Catholic perspective, she described how each generation in the Church has a "culture" and focused much of her talk on today's young adult culture – Millennials and Generation X – their characteristics and values. She stressed the importance of understanding and being sensitive to the young adult culture in order to build up communion in the Church.
As a part of the annual Murnion Lecture, the 2011 Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Award was presented to Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at Harvard University and the Secretary for Health Care and Social Services for the Archdiocese of Boston. This annual award is given to a Catholic whose life and service reflect the values and mission of the Initiative.
In his remarks, Father Hehir spoke of Cardinal Bernardin, the man for which the award was named, "The Cardinal was worried about polarization in the life of the Church and he sought to create a center around which the Church could gather. A realist, if there ever was one, Cardinal Bernardin had no illusions that that meant everyone would do the same thing, sing the same song, walk the same road. But he did believe that you could walk more than one road and stay within the capacious framework of the Catholic vision of life."
For more information about Catholic Common Ground Initiative, visit their website at www.catholiccommonground.org.
Catholics on Call Welcomes DePaul University as a New Co-Sponsor
In late June 2011, Catholics on Call, CTU's national vocational discovery program for young adults, announced its newest co-sponsor, DePaul University. As a co-sponsor, DePaul University, the largest Catholic university in the United States with more than 25,000 students, will support Catholics on Call in its efforts to reach out to young adults who are considering a life of service to the Church as a lay ecclesial minister, religious sister or brother, or priest. Co-sponsors assist by providing financial support as well as other resources to increase the outreach of the program. A select number of universities and other institutions have been invited to be co-sponsors of Catholics on Call to share in the direction of its vital mission and help secure the program's future. Catholic Theological Union president, Fr. Donald Senior, C.P., noted that "DePaul University and Catholic Theological Union have enjoyed a close friendship since CTU began in 1968. This is one more collaborative effort between the two Catholic institutions intended to serve the wider Church." For more information about Catholics on Call and their upcoming programs, visit www.catholicsoncall.org.
Peacebuilders Initiative Launches New Website
The Peacebuilders Initiative, a program of the Bernardin Center that prepares youth for active leadership roles in peacemaking and reconciliation, launched their new and improved website, www.peacebuildersinitiative.org, in the late spring. This new website is designed to provide up-to-date information and resources to all those who are involved with the program or who are interested in learning more about high school peacemakers. Additionally, the site will provide ongoing information on how to get involved with their annual fundraising event, Peace Groove, which will be held this November 4, 2011 at the Chicago Cultural Center.

THE chips were down last night for two Labour politicians as they were grilled over why they want to be the next Mayor of London.
The Barracuda Fish and Chip Shop served up a political treat for Labour activists as former MPs Oona King and Ken Livingstone dueled over who should be the party's official candidate for mayor in 2012.
Mr Livingstone is hoping to regain the job he lost to Boris Johnson two years ago, while Ms King is making a bid to re-enter top-level politics since she was defeated in the 2005 General Election in Bethnal Green and Bow.
Yannis Christofis, owner of the shop in Headstone Drive, acted as host for the dinner, which was organised by Gareth Thomas, MP for Harrow West.

Up now at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Vested Interest, tackles the notion of imbued meaning in garments and constructions of dress. Contemporary artists take to the idea, and offer their takes on the theme. The press release states:
"Garments and accessories have long been used as a way to share ideas and to address topics of social and cultural significance. Vested Interest comprises the works of seventeen contemporary artists who use dress to investigate issues of significant personal importance. Historical examples of adornment convey messages that offer an expanded context for understanding the social dimension of dress.
Several contemporary artists play on the idea that adornment can reveal personal opinions in a very public way. Lisa Anne Auerbach (CA), a passionate advocate for social change, knits sweaters and scarves emblazoned with text that encourages action. Others draw attention to the act of garment-making, tying into a broader investigation of labor, industry, and power. Undercutting "big business" and capitalist avenues of production, Alabama Chanin (AL) designs hand-stitched and embroidered garments that are constructed with care by artisans who live and work in Florence, Alabama. Still other artists find ways of linking personal history or beliefs to the idea of dress on a broader scale. Mark Newport (MI) presents his hand-knitted full-body suit, The Patriot, to simultaneously explore his own ideas of masculinity, stereotypes about men who knit, and what wearing red, white, and blue might mean today."
A interesting exploration of art and theory at one of Americas most innovative art centers. Open until September.

Panos J. Antsaklis, H. Clifford and Evelyn A. Brosey Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been elected editor-in-chief of the journal Transactions on Automatic Control (TAC) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), by the Board of Governors of the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS).
His responsibilities include oversight of a staff of 50 editors and associate editors from around the world, as they review more than 1,600 submissions and publish 12 issues annually. Starting this month, the Notre Dame editorial office brings under one umbrella the two previous editorial offices in Boston and Torino, Italy.
Founded in 1956, TAC is the flagship publication of the CSS and has served as the authoritative source for research results in the mathematical theory of automatic control systems for the past 50 years. Research as reported in the journal has helped make possible a variety of successful applications across many industries, including space travel and communication satellites, safer and more efficient aircraft, cleaner auto engines, better electric power grid and cleaner and more efficient industrial and chemical processes. In addition, it has shed light into the dynamic mechanisms at work in diverse areas such as the economy, finance and biological processes.
A faculty member since 1980, Antsaklis has served as the director of the center for Applied Mathematics and on many faculty and administrative committees. His research addresses problems of control and automation, including the analysis of behavior and design of control strategies for complex autonomous intelligent systems.
He has conducted extensive research in hybrid and discrete event dynamical systems with contributions that have helped shape the research directions of the field. Most recently, he has focused on networked embedded systems and problems in the interdisciplinary research area of control, computing and communication networks.
Antsaklis has authored and co-authored more than 400 journal articles and conference proceedings, as well as two graduate-level textbooks, and edited six books. He is an IEEE Fellow, former president of the IEEE CSS, founding president of the Mediterranean Control Association and has served on the Subcommittee on Networking and Information and Technology of the President's Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. He currently serves as the chair of the scientific advisory board of the Max-Planck Institute on complex systems in Magdeburg, Germany.
Antsaklis also is the recipient of a number of other professional honors, including a Fulbright Award, the IEEE Distinguished Member Award of the CSS, an IEEE Third Millennium Medal, Notre Dame's John A. Kaneb Award for Excellence in Teaching and Curriculum Development, and the 2006 Brown Engineering Alumni Medal from Brown University.
A graduate of the National Technical University of Athens, Antsaklis received his master's and doctoral degrees in engineering from Brown in 1974 and 1977, respectively.

ONCE again, I open my Evening Times and see the NHS in trouble again (Evening Times, June 9).
The woman's ordeal at the Victoria Infirmary is a disgrace.
There is £842million being spent on the Southern General but when the Western shuts, the north side of the city will be left with just the Royal to cope.
This won't work. How are people this side of the city going to get there?
We had a perfectly good hospital called Stobhill, before the changes. Surely someone somewhere must have money to invest in returning this hospital to what it was, creating jobs and giving the people of the north side of the city and outlying areas their hospital back.
It would make sense and work well with the clinics already there.

JK ignores risk
REGARDING JK Rowling backing the No campaign (Evening Times, June 11), there is nothing from her about the serious risks to Scotland's future by continuing to be ruled from Westminster.
She might not like the current Westminster government but in Scotland we can never get rid of it, whatever flavour it is, unless a majority of people in England want change.
She suggests that Scotland would be in a position of strength if the vote is for continued dependence. As Harry might say, "Aye right".

Cup dream
SO the SFA could quit Hampden (Evening Times, June 6). I hope that never happens.
It is a field of dreams and memories.
Where else would you spend an afternoon watching a team go round on a bus with the belief we were going to win the 1978 World Cup?
Disgruntled football fan
Jardine plan
PUTTING up a memorial to Sandy Jardine is a fantastic decision (Evening Times, June 10).
I am a Celtic fan and I was lucky enough to see him play. He was a top drawer footballer.
I wonder what he and Danny McGrain would go for in today's market.

Claudio is in with Rhett now. He gets sent to the floor after a tag from Shelton and the All Night Express start working over Benjamin. Rhett and Benjamin trade rights in the middle of the ring. Kick to the midsection from Benjamin and he goes for a dropkick but Rhett held on to the top rope...but he was also blindly tagged by Hero and Shelton gets hit with a running senton! Hero charges Benjamin into the boot of Claudio and tags him in. Camel clutch from Castagnoli. Shelton powers up after about a minute and gets an Electric Chair Drop on Claudio. Hero manages a tag and he big boots Haas off the apron before taking it to Shelton. Stomps on the co-champion. Sliding boot to the side of the head of Benjamin is good for 2. Tag to Claudio. They double whip Benjamin sternum-first into the corner. Claudio gets an uppercut before tagging Hero. Hero whips Claudio into the elbow of Shelton and Benjamin sends Hero over the top! He wants a tag but Claudio grabs the leg...DRAGON WHIP to Claudio! Shelton goes for the tag but Haas isn't there! Hero pulled him to the floor. Boot from Claudio and he gets a series of strikes before tagging Hero back in. Benjamin catches a double boot, rolls under and tags Kenny King! King is totally taking it to Hero. He flips off a back toss attempt from Hero and lands on his feet! Urinage, elbow, standing moonsault! King fights off Claudio and gets a spinebuster on Hero! Leg cradle suplex! 1...2...no! Series of kicks from the ANX and Tituts is the legal man now. Hero gets a rolling elbow! 1...2...NO!! Tag to Claudio and we get the Kings get their cradle double powerbomb on Titus for 2. Ricola bomb is what Claudio wants but he doesn't get it. BIG boot from Rhett! Powerbomb/springboard neckbreaker combo from the ANX but Del Rey distracts the ref!! GOLDEN ELBOW FROM HERO! Titus is out and 3 seconds later, the ANX is eliminated around 34:30.
Haas grabs the loaded elbow pad off of Hero's arm and THROWS IT INTO THE CROWD! The Kings make Haas pay and they beat on him for the next minute, making some frequent tags. Hero is back in and they tried the release suplex/Death Blow/European uppercut combo but Haas ducks and sends Hero into Claudio. German suplex on Hero broken up at 2. Tag to Shelton and he's taking it to both men! Double DDT to the Kings!! Shelton goes for the pin on Hero and gets a very close two count. Tag to Haas. WGTT goes for and HITS the Broken Arrow.

Haas fights out of the KRS ONE and sends Hero into Claudio over the top! HUGE double team spinebuster from WGTT!! 1....2...3!
After the match, Jay & Mark Briscoe return to the ring with steel chairs and nail the champs in the head! The Kings of Wrestling beg for reason, so The Briscoes keep pounding on the champs while Hero and Claudio direct them. The All Night Express are here with a kendo stick and a metal pole as they fend off the heels. Haas is doing a great sell job of the attack. The ANX have the belts in their hands and were going to give them back to the champs presumably, but they were carried out under the ropes, leaving Titus and King in the ring with the belts alone. Then we cut to a recap of the Davey/Eddie build-up. Interesting cut as that felt incomplete, but I liked it.

Lugar: Don't stop aid to Pakistan
Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar says the U.S. shouldn't stop sending aid to Pakistan even though some people in the country's intelligence or military circles may have known bin Laden was living there.
It seemed "like a lot of people in Pakistan knew about his whereabouts," the top Republican on Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
But he also stressed that, because of divisions in the Pakistani government, not all officials knew the terrorist mastermind was living there.
Lugar dismissed calls from some quarters that the U.S. should consider cutting off its foreign aid to Pakistan. "No, I don't see that at all," he said.

New home sales rebound in January
A surprisingly strong pace of new home sales last month has boosted hopes that the spring buying season will be solid enough to lift the overall economy.
Sales of new homes rebounded in January to the fastest rate in more than five years. The strength in purchases followed a slowdown that had been linked to higher mortgage rates and severe winter weather.
The report Wednesday from the Commerce Department helped support stock prices, especially shares of homebuilders.
Economists predict that sales of both new and existing homes will rise in 2014, lifted by an improving economy and steady job growth.
"Despite higher mortgage rates, the fundamentals for new-home sales and residential construction are solid," said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group.
Sales of new homes rose 9.6 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 468,000. It was the fastest pace since July 2008.
Delta changes frequent flier program
Delta Air Lines is changing its frequent-flier program to favor passengers who buy the priciest tickets instead of those who fly the most miles.
It's a bid to lure higher-spending business travelers, who often book flights on short notice and pay more than bargain-hunting leisure travelers.
Beginning next year, Delta will base miles toward free flights on the amount that passengers spend on tickets. Currently, members of its SkyMiles program earn miles based on how far they fly — it doesn't matter whether they bought an expensive first-class seat or the cheapest ticket in economy.
Delta will become the biggest U.S. airline yet to make such a change. American and United are likely to watch to see how travelers respond.
Tesla plans new
battery factory
Electric car maker Tesla Motors said Wednesday it's considering sites in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas for a massive battery factory that would employ around 6,500 people.
Tesla plans to start construction this year and complete the factory — which it dubs its "Gigafactory" — in 2017.
Tesla's share rose nearly 3 percent to $259.90 in after-hours trading.
The factory would supply lithium-ion batteries to Tesla's Fremont assembly plant.
Palo Alto-based Tesla says it will invest $2 billion in the 10 million square foot factory, which will cost between $4 billion and $5 billion. Its partners will invest the rest.
The new factory will provide enough batteries to supply 500,000 vehicles by 2020, Tesla said. Tesla expects to produce 35,000 vehicles this year.
Sony to close 20 U.S. retail stores
Sony Corp. says it is closing about two-thirds of its U.S. Sony Stores is part of a wide-ranging company restructuring it announced earlier this month.
It also said that 1,000 of the previously announced 5,000 job cuts would come from its Sony Electronics unit, mainly in the U.S. and Mexico. The cuts are to take place before March 2015.
The closings affect 20 Sony Stores in several states, including five in California and two in Virginia. It is keeping open 11 Sony Stores including its flagship store in New York, and several stores in California, New York and Florida.

OK everyone, I want an honest raising of hands for anyone who picked that VCU, Butler, Kentucky and UConn would make it to the Final Four, ousting traditional favorites such as Duke, Ohio State and Kansas. What, No hands raised? That comes as no surprise as this years last four teams are as unpredictable as they are unprecedented. Nobody thought all of these teams would advance this far but as anyone who can see the possible growing trend in college basketball can attest to, it shouldn't be shocking.
This trend I'm alluding to is the one that is seeing the less well known college programs catching up with the big boys of the sport. The best example of this came this season as there was not that one great powerhouse team. Instead there were top program teams with star power balanced by middle of the pack teams fielding players that have been in the system for a few years. It's that classic battle of talent vs. experience and this year, and maybe in the years to come, experience won out for the most part.
"The term 'parity' is an interesting term in college basketball," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "You're comparing two different things. You're comparing budgets and then you're comparing teams that are on the court. Only five guys play in basketball at a time. You may have 13 McDonald's All-Americans, but you can only play five at once. As deep as you are and everything else, you still have to play and be good with those five, and they have to play as a team.
"I think that's something that VCU, Butler, teams that have made these runs, they really understand that. They're trying to better their programs in a lot of ways; we're all trying to maximize our resources that are available, and hopefully continue to grow in that area.
"But at the end of the day, it's about playing."
It's becoming increasingly obvious that the talent level in college sports is being watered down thanks to the yearly defections of 'one-and-done' players to the NBA. They play college ball only because they are forced to by NBA rules and run to the pro's as quickly as they can, whether they are truly ready or not. This floodgate of talent that is pouring out of the college game is making it very difficult for the dominant programs to create the needed stability to win championships.
"As we started to have kids leave earlier and earlier, I think what it's done … there's been less and less power teams," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. "I said all year there's some terrific basketball teams — Pitt, Ohio State, Kansas, etc. But they may not be a great team. If it's not a great team, it opens up the field for everybody else."
This growing problem for the NCAA may be addressed this offseason as the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement expires and one of the hottest topics revolving around the new one is making these kids play 2 to 3 years before being allowed to enter the NBA, something akin to what professional football has had in effect for years.
That may be enough to halt this growing trend of smaller schools dominating the big stage but one thing is almost a certainty now, if it doesn't happen, Final Four's like this one may go from being a fluke to being the norm.

Cercle Brugge kept alive its bid to beat the drop in its five-game relegation play-off against Beerschot with a 1-0 win.

Moratti defuses Mancini row at Vatican
VATICAN CITY, May 7 (Reuters) - Inter president Massimo Moratti has played down a disagreement with coach Roberto Mancini over tactics in Sunday's 2-1 derby defeat by AC Milan. Moratti said earlier in the week that the Serie A leaders, who could have won the title with a victory, had been too cautious in the game. Mancini openly said on Tuesday he did not agree. After the squad met the Pope ahead an Italian Cup semi-final second leg with Lazio in Rome, Moratti tried to calm the row. 'Many times a person feels obliged to reply to make clear their own position and unintentionally a situation of contrast is born,' Moratti told reporters on Wednesday. 'In reality we are pulling in the same direction. Also next season? Yes I think so.' Mancini's relationship with Moratti has been under scrutiny since the 43-year-old coach said in March he wanted to leave at the end of the season -- only for Moratti to say the next day that Mancini had changed his mind. Former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with Inter, with Italian media unsure whether Mancini has totally changed his mind after the March outburst. Moratti gave Pope Benedict an Inter jersey with 'Benedict XVI' written in gold and also presented the pontiff with an almanac celebrating Inter's centenary this year. 'It has been more emotional than I thought. For us it is a great honour,' Moratti said.

The Victoria's Secret Angels are currently working (and working out!) hard preparing for their famous -- and nationally televised -- annual runway show. (Exhibit A? Look at Alessandra!) And with just a month til the show hits your TV, we wanted to challenge you guys to get fit with the VS girls. We were lucky enough to exclusively snag four -- yes, four! -- of the coveted Angels' workouts, all in video form, for you to try at home. (And you can practice first by following our GIFs!) Do this workout and you'll feel sexy, shapely and ready for those holiday parties after sweating like an Angel all month long. No million-dollar bra guarantee, though.
Today we're sweatin' it out with Candice Swanepoel, the gazelle-like blonde who will be rocking the uber-coveted Million Dollar Bra down the catwalk. To prep for all those carats she'll be sportin', she works with small Velcro weights — which you can wrap around your hands or your ankles — and her celebrity trainer, Justin Gelband. The beauty of small weights like these, explains Swanepoel, is that "they're great for travel. I can use them in my hotel room!" First, try some of Candice's workout moves for size, then watch the video below for the full 20-30 minute workout. While we can't promise instant model-esque results, we can promise you'll work up a solid sweat.
THE MOVE: Rotate and Punch
Start with feet slightly apart and knees bent. Stretch through the right side of body, pushing right leg back, and use your right arm to throw a cross punch. Repeat 10-15 times; switch to left arm and repeat for one set.
THE MOVE: Crunch and Point
Hold weights at your sides, elbows tucked in. Stretch your right leg behind you, sweep to the left, and bring back to starting point. Then, lift leg and crunch into oblique. Switch sides; repeat for 10-15 reps.
THE MOVE: Weighted Lunge
Stagger the feet with a slight bend in your front leg. Hold weights firm to work biceps and triceps as you lunge down very slowly. Continue with low, light little bends. After 15 reps, switch sides to complete the set.
Have you started sweating with the Angels yet? Would you try these moves? Share your thoughts below or tweet us @rjacoby13 and @SELFmagazine!

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Stacy Lewis held off defending champion Yani Tseng to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship by three strokes Sunday, earning her first LPGA Tour title in the year's first major.
Lewis shot 3-under 69 to finish at 13-under 275, rallying from an early two-stroke deficit while going head-to-head with the world's top-ranked player.
Lewis' improbable 20-foot par from the fringe on the 17th hole, prompting a celebration in the raucous gallery.
"I can't even believe it," said Lewis, 26, who overcame scoliosis to become an elite golfer. "… I just couldn't believe I made it (on the 17th hole). I thought I had a good shot from there, but I just tried to stay calm."
Tseng (74) had four bogeys. Lewis bogeyed No. 15 to let Tseng get within one, but Tseng bogeyed the next two holes.
Lewis' mother, Carol, badly injured her left leg and was taken to a hospital in an ambulance after jumping into Poppie's Pond off the 18th green. It has become tournament tradition for the winner and her caddy and family to leap into the pond.
Seminole's Brittany Lincicome, who co-led with Lewis after the first round, shot 76 to end at par 288, tied for 13th.
Michelle Wie (75) and 2007 Kraft Nabisco champion Morgan Pressel (76) faltered badly in their final rounds.
Mickelson victorious in pre-Masters tuneup
HUMBLE, Texas — Phil Mickelson feels pretty confident about his game heading to the Masters, which begins Thursday.
The defending champion at Augusta outdueled Scott Verplank to win the Houston Open by three shots, his first victory since earning his third green jacket last April.
Mickelson moved to No. 3 in the world rankings as Tiger Woods dropped to No. 7. It's the first time Mickelson has been ahead of Woods since the week before Woods won the 1997 Masters for his first major title.
"It feels really good for me to have played well and gained some momentum heading into next week," Mickelson said. "I needed to have a week where I kind of put it together."
Mickelson shot 7-under 65, the lowest closing score by a winner this year, to finish at 20 under.
Verplank, 46, needed a victory just to get to Augusta. His left wrist, wrapped in black tape, is weakened by a degenerative bone condition, and it affected his grip.
"It's nice that I hadn't forgotten how to play," Verplank said.
CHAMPIONS: Tom Lehman closed with 3-under 69 to win the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic in Saucier, Miss., his second 50-and-over tour victory this year. He finished at 16-under 200, four shots better than Nick Price, Jeff Sluman and David Frost.
