- The Detroit Lions released Jahvid Best because "it just got to a point where it was a virtual certainty that he was not going to play" for them in 2013, according to Martin Mayhew. Given the situation and the desire to free up future cap room and a roster spot, the Lions decided to move on.
- Simply from a travel standpoint, the Lions have a pretty favorable schedule this year.
Mileage plus: The #49ers will travel a league-high 32,948 miles this year. The Lions have a league-low 4,202 miles.

The Detroit News reports that Kellen Moore and Thaddeus Lewis are "neck and neck" in the competition for the third spot on the depth chart at quarterback, according to quarterbacks coach Todd Downing.
- On Sunday, despite practice being over, Calvin Johnson went right from his media session to the football field to catch more footballs. There's a reason he's the best wide receiver in football.
Rob Sims is serving as a mentor of sorts to Larry Warford.
- Former Lions kicker Eddie Murray attended practices last weekend to share some tips with Havard Rugland, Sam Martin and Blake Clingan.
Glover Quin is not a fan of the new knee and thigh pads that players are now required to wear.
- The addition of Quin may mean more blitzes for the Lions this year.
Reggie Bush is making the switch from adidas to Nike.
- The MMQB's Lions preview was posted this week.

From soft robots that feel more human to understanding how the human brain is able to do so much, artificial intelligence has made notable strides this year.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation has sent a notice to a private hospital located at AJC Bose Road warning it against installation of three cell phone towers flouting rules.
Chennai''s Stanley Medical College and Hospital will get a new speciality tower block at a cost of Rs 75 crore.
Maoists blast cell tower in Khammam district
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has directed the cellular operators to pay installation charges to the civic body by December 18. GHMC additional commissioner D Ronald Rose said electricity connection to 245 cell towers in the city was disconnected early this week and restored later after the assurance given by the agencies to make payment by the end of this week.
After the power supply cabin of a illegal tower next to the Hina Kunj building in Vile Parle was demolished by the BMC in August, the telecom provider dismantled the entire set up and vacated the terrace. Whether radiation from mobile towers cause cancer is an issue that is being debated the world over and it hasn&rsquot been proven yet. However, Hina Kunj already has three residents who have been diagnosed with breast, uterine and colon cancers.
After a tower caught fire on rooftop of a house near Ram-Ram Chouraha, Bakhshi Ka Talab's fire station officer issued notices to the owners of 12 houses living in vicinity in Madiaon area who had also installed tower on roofs. In the notice, owners have been asked to arrange for equipment to douse fire in their houses in case of emergency. If the instructions are not followed, they might face strict action.
Curchorem-Cacora Municipal Council (CCMC) Chief Officer Agnelo Fernandes has rejected the complaint filed by residents of Carriamoddi-Curchorem opposing mobile tower, which is coming up on a residential building at Carriamoddi.
About a third of Asia Pacific-based national and multi-national companies anticipate significant changes in their human resources departments in the next couple of years, as they seek greater efficiencies and to improve the processes within the function, according to an annual survey by global professional services company Towers Watson.

Expert Q&A: Managing Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms
How to Manage Diabetes Numbers During the Holidays
Controlling Diabetes: A Carb-Counting Success Story
'Bad' cholesterol not the whole story in stroke?
How to Lower High Cholesterol When You Have Diabetes
Misconceptions about how high cholesterol levels affect people with diabetes can make dining a dilemma. Our experts separate fact from fiction to clear up cholesterol confusion for good...
Nearly 80% of women 18-44 years old can't name their cholesterol numbers, according to a 2007 survey by the Society of Women's Health Research.
This information is as important as your husband's cell phone number, especially for women with diabetes, who have an increased risk of heart disease.
That's why it's critical to understand cholesterol in a larger context beyond just numbers, says Isaac Eliaz, M.D., director of the Amitabha Medical Clinic and Healing Center in Sebastopol, Calif.
You need to learn how life choices can impact future well being, he says.
So how do you learn about how high cholesterol levels?
And do the guidelines change if you have diabetes?
Test yourself about cholesterol and how it impacts your body.
Cholesterol myth or not? All cholesterol is bad for you.
"Scary statistics about cholesterol and heart disease cause people to assume that it's all bad, but that's not true," Dr. Eliaz says.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance produced by the liver and is found in certain foods like eggs, dairy and meat.
"It's actually crucial to building healthy cells that keep your body and all its systems running smoothly."
HDL (high-density lipoprotein), or "good," cholesterol has been shown to protect your heart.
"But too high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides can leave fatty deposits in your blood that build up in the arteries, increasing your risk for stroke, heart attack and other forms of cardiovascular disease," says Ping Wang, M.D., professor of medicine and director at the Center for Diabetes Treatment and Research at University of California, Irvine.
"Learning to manage your cholesterol levels through your diet and exercise make a significant impact on health," he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? Blood glucose levels impact cholesterol levels.
People with diabetes have good reason to worry.
"High glucose levels, which most people with diabetes have, can cause the body to produce more triglycerides," says Om Ganda, M.D., head of the Lipid Clinic at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.
"Glucose attaches to LDL cholesterol in the blood, making them sticky – which means they last longer and are more likely to build up inside your arterial wall," he explains.
That means the higher your glucose levels, the stickier your blood and the greater your risk for cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol myth or not? All diabetics have high cholesterol levels.
Not necessarily.
"Having diabetes can make you prone to elevated levels of cholesterol, but it's certainly not a given," Dr. Wang says.
"Many people with diabetes have the same cholesterol levels as the general population, and managing your diabetes well – with help from your doctor – can keep your levels in check," he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? Diabetics have the same target numbers as people without the disease.
Your cholesterol levels may be the same as those for healthy people, but those numbers don't mean the same thing if you have diabetes.
"Because [diabetics'] risk for heart disease is so high, levels that may not be unhealthy for the general population can be problematic for [them]," Dr. Ganda says. "As a result, your target numbers have to be even more conservative if you have diabetes."
The average person should aim for LDL levels below 130 mg/dl and HDL levels above 60 mg/dl. But people with diabetes need to keep LDL levels under 100 mg/dl – and possibly under 70 mg/dl if they have other risk factors such as a family history of heart disease – and HDL levels over 40 mg/dl.
"It may be difficult to meet these strict standards with diet and exercise alone, so [ask] your doctor if you're a good candidate for statins, lipid-lowering drugs that can help you keep cholesterol under control," he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? High levels of LDL cholesterol are a predictor of diabetes.
Despite the scary talk about LDL cholesterol, triglycerides actually are the best predictor for diabetes.
"High levels of triglycerides indicate you may be developing insulin resistance, a predictor of diabetes, and people who are overweight and obese are most likely to have these high numbers" Dr. Ganda says.
"Fortunately, moderate exercise, such as taking a brisk walk, can activate enzymes that break down triglycerides and regenerate good cholesterol, bringing you back to healthy levels," he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? Cholesterol-lowering medications are bad for you.
"Recent studies indicate that high doses of cholesterol drugs may increase your risk for diabetes," Dr. Wang says. "That said, using the medication can drastically reduce your risk for heart disease, so for most people the benefit is worth the potential risk."
Work with your prescribing doctor to develop a treatment plan that that works best for you to minimize any potential downsides, he advises.
Cholesterol myth or not? Eating oatmeal can lower your cholesterol.
Your morning bowl of oats really can help bring your cholesterol down to healthy levels.
"Complex carbs like oatmeal contain high amounts of soluble fiber, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream and lower levels of LDL cholesterol," Dr. Ganda says.
Not a fan of the hot cereal? Legumes, citrus fruits and whole grains are also rich in these healthy fibers, he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? You can't eat red meat if you have high cholesterol levels.
Relax, you don't have to swear off burgers and steaks.
"Red meat is often packed with saturated fats, which are known to raise cholesterol levels, but you can opt for leaner cuts of meat to curb your fat intake," Dr. Ganda says.
A 3.5-ounce serving of lean cut beef should contain less than 10 grams of fat and 4.5 grams of saturated fat, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The leanest cuts: sirloin, loin and round.
"Choose meats with the least amount of visible fat [or marbling], and cut off any extra fat," Dr. Ganda says.
But watch your portions. Regardless of the type of meat, you should eat no more than 6 ounces (about the size of two decks of cards) per day.
Cholesterol myth or not? You can't have high cholesterol levels if you're not overweight.
Sorry, being thin doesn't give you a free pass.
"While exercise, diet and weight can have a significant impact on cholesterol levels, heredity plays a role as well," Dr. Eliaz says. "If high cholesterol runs in your family, you may still be at risk – regardless of your weight. So share your health history with your doc and get cholesterol levels checked to make sure you're in the clear."
Cholesterol myth or not? Eggs are off limits if you have high cholesterol levels.
Not anymore. Eggs are high in cholesterol, but doctors no longer tell people with high cholesterol levels to give them up.
"When consumed as part of a balanced diet rich in greens and fiber, eggs will not increase your cholesterol," Dr. Eliaz says.
"Stick to no more than five a week or use egg whites only, which contain zero cholesterol," he says.
Cholesterol myth or not? If food is labeled cholesterol-free, it's heart-healthy.
Not so fast.
Added sugars found in processed foods are associated with lower levels of HDL cholesterol and higher levels of triglycerides, increasing your risk for heart disease, according to research published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association
in 2010.
"Just because something is free of cholesterol doesn't mean it's good for you," Dr. Ganda says. "Added sugars can spike insulin levels and high levels of saturated fat can also raise cholesterol and triglyceride levels – all of which are bad, especially if you have diabetes."
Cholesterol myth or not? High cholesterol levels are mostly a problem for men.
Not true if you're in your 50s or older.
"While estrogen has been shown to help keep cholesterol in check, levels of the sex hormone drop significantly with age, erasing this advantage and increasing bad, LDL, cholesterol," Dr. Wang says.
Heart disease is now the leading cause of death among women, and it's preventable – if you manage the risk – like controlling your cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol myth or not? Only old or middle-aged people have to worry about cholesterol.
Even if you're younger than 50, you need to pay attention to heart health.
Hospitalization rates for stroke in young patients are rising, according to a 2011 report published in the
Annals of Neurology
Risk factors typically seen in older people, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, are also increasing in younger people.
What's more, the use of cholesterol and blood pressure meds by young adults is increasing at a faster pace than that of senior citizens, according to a report from Medco Health Solutions, a prescription benefit manager based in Franklin Lakes, N.J.
Rising rates of obesity may be to blame.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, youth obesity rates have more than tripled in the last 30 years, leaving young people with a lifetime of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure – unless significant lifestyle changes are made.
"Poor diet and lack of exercise are contributing to worryingly high levels of cholesterol in children as young as 6 years old," Dr. Eliaz says.
Whatever your age, make healthy habits routine to lower your lifetime risk for heart disease.

I think Nintendo should branch into two franchises:
One with Gameplay like SPM
One with Gameplay like PM or TTYD.
What do you think?
I think Nintendo should branch into two franchises:
One with Gameplay like SPM
One with Gameplay like PM or TTYD.
What do you think?
I liked the Classic Paper Mario Series Better, It was longer and more fun. Yeah, I know Super Paper Mario is fun but it doesn't last a while. I like my games to last a while.
Well if they made another classic Paper Mario, it wouldn't use the Wii Remote, most people would use like a Wii Classic Controller, or GC Controller.
Yay since Paper Mario for the N64 is out =], <3 That Game Lol
I downloaded Paper Mario on VC the other day, but I prefer the platforming Mario. Now would you suggest I got SPM if I prefer the platforming?
well, the classic ones are longer because of the turn-based RPG fights, while in SPM its real-time.
for a good-long holiday game, i absolutely LOVE Paper Mario. TTYD was okay, but it just didn't have the charm.
for pick-up-and-play (when there's no text, lol) SPM is the way to go.
Join the Buy BWii Campaign and Buy BWii!
Spoiler Alert!
Classic. At least the battles actually made you TRY.
classic but which one do you think is better pm or ttyd
one shall stand one shall fall- Optimus Prime to Magatron first transformers movie
I agree, Classic for sure~ They are just more challenging that their is more stuff to do.
My Brawl FC: 1934-0362-3348
I think SPM is more fun, BUT, both pale in comparison to their grandfather series: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
I wish they'd put Mallow in the Mario Sports/Party games.

Click here to read a message fromSuperintendent Marie H. Doyle
File: KF
The Longmeadow School Committee believes that the public schools should be community resources. The public, staff and pupils should all cooperate in the production of the best possible education for both youth and adult citizens. Although the education of our children must take precedence, whenever possible, community use of school facilities will be encouraged.
The Longmeadow School Committee has developed the following guidelines to facilitate the orderly use of school facilities.
The School Committee of the Longmeadow Public Schools favors the use of school facilities for the benefit of the community as a whole by responsible civic, charitable and private organizations located within the Town of Longmeadow or similar outside organizations represented by a responsible Longmeadow resident when such activities do not interfere with school programs. (This policy shall be so administered that no organization monopolizes the use of these facilities, with preference given to youth serving organizations.) School facilities shall not be used, however, for private gain by an individual, group of individuals or business firm, without compensation to the Longmeadow Public Schools. The School Committee and/or its designated representatives reserves the right of its members to attend all functions and meetings held on school property.
A. Public use of school facilities will be permitted only on days when school is in session, subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Schools, as represented by the School Business Manager. Special permission must be granted by the School Committee and/or its designated representatives for use of buildings on days when school is not in session, with the exception that weekend use of Longmeadow High School during non-vacation periods may be approved by the Superintendent of Schools, as represented by the School Business Manager.
B. Rental charges, when applicable, shall be made to cover costs of public use of school facilities. Colleges, universities, non-Longmeadow organizations, and for-profit entities such as businesses, camps, clinics, enrichment programs, tutors, dance and theater groups will be charged standard rental fees.
Depending on the nature of the activity, additional custodial, equipment, technical assistance, and kitchen supervisor fees may be charged.
Exceptions to the standard rental rates will apply to activities sponsored by the following groups only:
Group 1: Longmeadow School or Town Government Activity. No building rental fees will be assessed for School Related Activities including those events whose participants are members of the student body under the supervision of an employee of the Longmeadow Public Schools and those activities conducted for the benefit of the student body (Examples include PTOs/PACs, LEEF, Booster Groups or Park & Recreation activities that benefit Booster Groups). No rental fees shall be charged for Town Government Related Activities, which include town meetings and elections.
Group 2: Longmeadow Community Service organizations. Rental fees may be waived for non-profit civic groups whose activities are deemed by the School Committee to be for the welfare of the community and for whom the payment of rental fees would be a hardship. (Examples include Scouts and Gardeners on the Green.)
Group 3: Non-profit organizations. Rental fees will be reduced for all activities operated by the Parks and Recreation Department of the Town of Longmeadow and for all Longmeadow based non-profit groups such as youth or adult sports groups, dance, theater, social clubs and other non-profit organizations who demonstrate IRS tax exempt status.
Note: Depending on the nature of the activity, additional custodial, equipment, technical assistance, and kitchen supervisor fees may be charged to Groups 1 through 3 listed above .
C. The School Committee, acting on behalf of the Town of Longmeadow, and employees of the Longmeadow Public Schools shall not be liable for any actions or accidents occurring or resulting from the use of school facilities by any individual or organization.
D. The School Committee and/or its duly authorized representative acting through the Superintendent shall be the sole judge as to the qualifications of any organization requesting use of a school facility. It reserves the right to change or modify any rules regarding use of school facilities without notice. Such changes, when made, will take effect from the date of change and will not be retroactive.
Questions should be directed to the School Business Office.

Lab Pinpoints New Drug Target for Infant Leukemia
Although many childhood leukemias are curable, one type – known as 11q23 infant leukemia – has a poor survival rate and requires intensive treatment with life-threatening side effects. In an early-edition article in Blood, the URMC shows it discovered a gene that could provide a new target for therapy.
Archibald S. Perkins, M.D., Ph.D., and Yi "Stanley" Zhang, Ph.D., in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, reported that the MDS1-EVI1 (or PRDM3) protein is activated by the chromosomal mistakes that occur at 11q23, and is essential for the development of this leukemia. In mice they've explored the trail of molecular errors leading to MDS1-EVI1, and determined that an inhibitor of this gene would likely kill 11q23 infant leukemia in a targeted manner with little toxicity.
Perkins and Zhang are funded by New York State Stem Cell Science (NYSTEM). Recently the Children's Leukemia Research Association of Long Island and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer based in Wynnewood, Pa., provided additional bridge funds so that Perkins' lab could conduct the experiments needed to support a larger grant application to develop a targeted drug.
Findings in the Blood paper strongly suggest that other small-molecule inhibitors already in the pipeline could be tested as a treatment for 11q23 leukemia. They're pursuing a high-throughput drug screen that would not only identify such novel drug candidates but weed out drugs with poor cell permeability or unknown toxicities, for example. Perkins hopes that collaborations with Stanford University and Memorial Sloan-Kettering will speed the process of improving treatment for a cancer that strikes about 2,000 infants a year in the U.S.

Voters turn out in huge numbers
Republicans sweep Districts 10 and 19
COUNTY –A larger turnout than expected in Walsh County caused Auditor Sharon Kinsala to print and manually count an extra 301 Grafton city ballots for walk-in voters during Tuesday's general election.
A total of 5,201 ballots were cast this presidential year in the county versus 5,003 in 2008. A total of 4,032 absentee ballots were mailed to eligible county voters and as of Monday 3,532 ballots were returned.
City of Grafton
Measure 1, which reduces the number of city council members from 10 to 8 passed by a margin of 1,077 to 496. At this time there is no decision on how the council will be reduced.
City of Forest River
Residents of Forest River voted in favor of levying taxes annually in the amount not to exceed 15 mills per year for contracted fire protection from the Minto Rural Fire Department.
Walsh County
The race for Walsh County Commissioner was won by Jack Karas and newcomer Karen Anderson. Karas was the top vote getter with 2,677 votes with Anderson receiving 2,662. Anderson will replace incumbent Lawrence Burianek who came in with 2,580 votes.
The Citizens Initiated Measure 1, a shared parenting measure overwhelmingly passed by a margin of 3 to 1. This initiated measure allows parents to bring a petition before the Walsh County Court at any time to complete a "fitness hearing" for the purpose of obtaining equal physical custody. This measure also requires both parents to be labeled as "primary caretakers" of the child/children.
Republicans swept both District 10 and 19 races for seats in the North Dakota House of Representatives. In District 10, Charles "Chuck" Damschen and David Monson ran unopposed for the House of Representatives. Monson received 4,901 votes and Damschen received 4,264 votes.
Two Republicans will hold the first two seats from District 19 in the North Dakota House of Representatives.
Wayne Trottier received 2,984 votes and Gary Paur was close behind with 2,978 votes. Democrats Robert "Tork" Kilichowski took third in the race with 2,450 votes and Carol Gierszewski received 2,100 votes.
Former District 16 Senator Joe Miller, despite his limited campaigning due to a farm injury, won the District 10 State Senate seat by a 2 to 1 margin. Miller, a Republican, received 4,659 votes. His Democrat opponent Daryl Passa received 2,065 votes.
Two newcomers to the political field, Republican Tom Campbell and Democrat Julius Wangler fought a hard, close battle with Campbell coming out ahead for the newly created District 19 State Senate seat.
Campbell, running on the republican ticket, received 3,488 votes to Democrat Wangler's 2,304 votes.
US Senate race
In the closely contested race for the vacant North Dakota seat for the U.S. Senate, Walsh County followed the state in voting for former North Dakota Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp. Heitkamp received 2,813 votes in Walsh County compared to 2,266 for Rick Berg.

Chelsea confident over signing Suarez if Guardiola becomes boss
London, Nov. 18 (ANI): English football club Chelsea, who are eyeing Luis Suarez, believe that they can land the Anfield star by installing Pep Guardiola as boss, according to a report.
Roman Abramovich wants former Barca chief Guardiola as his next manager and dreams of linking Suarez with Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao, that is believed to be heading Chelsea's way in January.
But in the background is Jose Mourinho, who would love to manage Chelsea again and whose daughter Tita has enrolled in a London college, the Daily Mirorr reports.
According to the report, while Mourinho is still on good terms with Abramovich and is keen to return to the Premier League, sensing his time at Real Madrid is up, Chelsea fans may think Guardiola is the better option if he can guarantee Suarez's signature.
Manchester City are also in the Suarez hunt but Chelsea will match their salary offer a possible 50 million pounds once they sell Fernando Torres, the report said.
Guardiola is on a year-long sabbatical but currently there are eight clubs that are interested in him, City included, and he will discuss his next move with advisers at Christmas, the report added. (ANI)

Set to become one of the great Wagnerian sopranos of her generation " (Opera Now), "cette belle wagnérienne" (Forum Opéra) made her debut at Seattle Opera in 2013 as Brünnhilde Die Walküre alongside Greer Grimsley, Stephanie Blythe, Stuart Skelton and Margaret Jane Wray in Stephen Wadsworth's production conducted by Asher Fisch (" Seldom has the Valkyrie's famous calling card sounded so opulently secure: no vague swoops or screeches, just thrillingly accurate quality," wrote The Seattle Times), followed by the same role in Siegfried and Götterdämmerung (described by The Vancouver Sun as a "the high point of an impressive cast – a real triumph" and by Opera as "an athletic, nuanced and feminine portrayal."). She received outstanding reviews for her début performances as Chrysothemis Elektra opposite Susan Bullock for the Canadian Opera Company in 2007, Opera Magazine writing that she "…recalled none other than Leonie Rysanek." Her return to the role in 2008 with Opera North, again opposite Susan Bullock, led to The Guardian describing her as "…the superlative Chrysothemis..." whilst The Sunday Times described her as a "thrilling, sensuous Chrysothemis." In Summer 2010, she made her début as Brünnhilde Die Walküre for Longborough Festival Opera ("… Alwyn Mellor's Brünnhilde – bold and brazen in her whooping war-cries, warmly eloquent in her summons to Siegmund and her pleading with Wotan," wrote The Daily Telegraph).
In Summer 2011, she made critically acclaimed débuts as Isolde Tristan und Isolde for Grange Park Opera with Richard Berkeley-Steele as Tristan, conducted by Stephen Barlow ("Possessing the amplitude and genuine vocal resources of a Wagnerian soprano", wrote The Sunday Telegraph) and as Brünnhilde Siegfried for Longborough Festival Opera with Daniel Brenna as Siegfried, conducted by Anthony Negus ("sung magnificently," wrote The Times). In 2011 / 2012, she repeated this role for Den Nye Opera with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Christian Franz conducted by Kent Nagano (" I was moved to tears by Alwyn Mellor's magnificent Brünnhilde, as steady and sure as Flagstad", wrote Hort), and with Oper Leipzig and Stefan Vinke conducted by Ulf Schirmer, as well as making débuts as Brünnhilde Götterdämmerung with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Christian Franz conducted by Kent Nagano ("Brünnhilde's great, summing up closing scene was magnificently interpreted by Alwyn Mellor", wrote the Göteborgs-Posten) and as Sieglinde Die Walküre for Opera North with Kelly Cae Hogan, Katerina Karnéus, Béla Perencz and Erik Nelson Werner, conducted by Richard Farnes ("You'd be lucky to hear as good at Bayreuth," wrote The Daily Telegraph). During 2012 / 2013, she made debuts at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, as Gerhilde Die Walküe conducted by Philippe Jordan, and at the the Opéra national de Paris as Brünnhilde Die Walküre / Siegfried with Torsten Kerl, Thomas Johannes Mayer, Egils Silins, Sophie Koch, Stuart Skelton and Martina Serafin conducted by Philippe Jordan. ("S he sings perfectly, with a welcome vocal stability, a strong, clear timbre, and the necessary intensity for Act 111," wrote Altamusica.).
Her debut at Washington National Opera as Isolde Tristan und Isolde with Clifton Forbis, Wilhelm Schwinghammer, Elizabeth Bishop and James Rutherford conducted by Philippe Augin was described by the Wagner Society of New York as "volcanic" and she returns to Seattle in 2014 for Speight Jenkins' Farewell Gala and to sing Senta Der fliegende Holländer in 2016. Her current engagements further include Minnie La Fanciulla del West, Brünnhilde Götterdämmerung and Mahler Symphony No. 4 for Opera North, debuts at the Florentine Opera Company as Senta Der fliegende Holländer and at the Opéra national de Bordeaux as Isolde Tristan und Isolde conducted by Paul Daniel and Britten's War Requiem at the Snape Maltings.
Born in Lancashire, Alwyn Mellor studied at the Royal Northern College of Music, and, supported by the Peter Moores Foundation, in Italy and Russia. She began her career at Welsh National Opera, with whom she has enjoyed a fruitful collaboration in a variety of roles, most recently in the title role of Tosca and as Senta Der fliegende Holländer, and sang three seasons at Santa Fe Opera. In concert, she has appeared with orchestras including the BBC Concert Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the CBSO, the Hallé, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Manchester Camerata, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, as well as internationally with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, the Orchestre National de Lyon, the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, the Orchestre Symphonique et Lyrique de Nancy, the Orquesta Simfonica de Barcelona, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductors with whom she has worked include Martin André, Howard Arman, Mark Elder, Richard Hickox, Christopher Hogwood, Emmanuel Krivine, Charles Mackerras, Marc Minkowski, Nicholas McGegan, Sakari Oramo, Antonio Pappano, Victor Pablo Pérez, Vasily Petrenko, Carlo Rizzi, Donald Runnicles and Mark Wigglesworth.

Comments: The angle of this blade make it easier to reach the bottom of the glass of my 150 gallon tank. The blades are wonderful in the removal of algae. The blades last quite a while even in saltwater use.

User Review: Zamberlan Men's 760 Steep GT
Source: bought it new
Great boot, very comfortable for long hikes, good ankle support, true to size for me. Used Nikwax for nubuck leathers as a waterproof.
- Comfort
- No heel slippage
- Good ankle support.
- Price, wait for sales would be my advice.
True to my size and very good on comfort. I have a high arch foot bed very comfortable, lacing as in all boots must be adjusted to your foot and needs. I found the lacing good. Ankle suuport is very good however I have other Zamberlan boots with superior ankle support VIOZ 1009 TOP GT RR.
Hiked in the rain, not a real test for these boots, feet stayed bone dry. Good grip on wet un-even surfaces. The coldest weather I was I in with these boots was in teens and 20 degrees no problem with heavy Smartwool socks.
Zamberlan a high end boot great construction and build quality. Used primarily in Northeast winters snow, below frezzing weather, hiking, outdoors, etc.

"Origin charged me twice for the same digital product and does not provide refunds for digital content. Asking to only be charged once is not technically a refund but Origin has no phone support, no email support, only a chat with hours of waiting.Their game is inoperative and they refuse to give any refunds. That alone is enough to not do business with them again. If you do manage to do business good luck getting a hold of them if something goes wrong."

Instability in Congo affects human rights there, and the cost of cellphones in the US.

ADF Performance Tuning: Tips on How to Limit ADF BC Memory Consumption
This blog contains tips and tricks on to how limit the JVM memory consumption of ADF applications. Like other web applications, Oracle ADF applications potentially use a lot of JVM memory. Many times, the root cause of a high memory usage is that application data retrieved from the database into memory is not properly bounded; too many rows are fetched and held in ADF BC memory. This can lead to memory over-consumption, very long running (more...)

OK, so I just clicked the link in the Wired article to sign up for Google+ for business. If you are using ANY other Google products, then everyone else who has already signed up for Google+ will know who you are. Is that bad? Let's put it like this, maybe you don't WANT these other friends, family, and associates to know what websites you own. Suppose one of those sites is critical of the gov and you wish to remain anonymous? Well, forget it ~ as you go through the sign up process, you will see the photos of these other people who know you and you are prompted to join their "circles". You are not forced to join, but let's remember who we are dealing with here ~ the day may come when Google will link you to these folks whether you want it or not. In the past they've shown little or no regard for personal privacy, so you're on thin ice with them is you want to keep your private life private.
Now that I've signed up, I will have to figure out how to bail.

40 years after the Fab Four split, the Catholic Church wipes the slate clean and describes the Liverpudlian song masters as a 'precious jewel'.
The Catholic Church has given high praise to The Beatles on the 40th anniversary of their split – forgiving the band for their 'drugs and blasphemy'.
The Vatican described the Fab Four as a 'precious jewel' – despite John Lennon once causing outrage by claiming they were bigger than Jesus Christ.
'It's true they took drugs, lived life to excess because of their success, even said they were bigger than Jesus and put out mysterious messages, that were possibly even Satanic,' the Vatican's official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said in a front page article.
But it added: 'Their beautiful melodies changed music and continue to give pleasure. 'Rather then expressing regret at their break up, perhaps the question should be what would pop music have been like without the Beatles.'
The church was criticised, however, for focusing on the Fab Four – who split in 1970 – when it is embroiled in ongoing child sex abuse scandals.
'With all that is going on within the Church to write about The Beatles instead of focusing on the scandal of abusive clergy does seem rather odd,' claimed one observer.
