Good fit protects my face in harsh weather , feels comfortable as it is shaped around my nose
I bought this specifically for the face conscious elements- breathing panels, wind blocking- and that it is a bandana you can fasten behind your head rather than pull over which seemed like a great combination. Well, what I got was a tube of backed fleece with an elastic drawstring at one end :/. If I wanted that, I would have bought that. Should have remembered why I don't shop at overstock anymore. Sizing- also the sizing was inaccurately described on the site here. I debated for a while between the s/m or l/xl. But then I saw it was mens sizing. I'm a woman and find most mens sizing to be huuuge so with something like this that is a bit form fitting, I went with s/m since I'd want medium probably and certainly not xl. Well on the product that arrived the sizing is actually 'adult' or 'jnr'. So they sent me a 'jnr'. I would have certainly ordered 'adult' given the opportunity. But of course, again the product listing is inaccurate and misleading. i wonder if the sizing on the proper product would be the same as on the site or the same as on the packaging of the product received. I might recommend or like the actual product, but since they didn't send that, how would I know? I'd like to even order again, but there's no telling what might show up in the mail or from whom.

Trade-Ideas: Himax Technologies (HIMX) Is Today's "Perilous Reversal" Stock
Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link.Trade-Ideas LLC identified Himax Technologies (HIMX) as a "perilous reversal" (up big yesterday but down big today) candidate. In addition to specific proprietary factors, Trade-Ideas identified Himax Technologies as such a stock due to the following factors:
- HIMX has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $51.3 million.
- HIMX has traded 14.2 million shares today.
- HIMX is down 3.4% today.
- HIMX was up 10.1% yesterday.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in HIMX with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for HIMX NOW at Trade-IdeasMore details on HIMX: Himax Technologies, Inc. designs, develops, and markets semiconductors for flat panel displays. The company operates in two segments, Driver IC and Non-Driver Products. The stock currently has a dividend yield of 2.6%. HIMX has a PE ratio of 23.2. Currently there are 4 analysts that rate Himax Technologies a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold.The average volume for Himax Technologies has been 10.4 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Himax has a market cap of $1.6 billion and is part of the technology sector and electronics industry. Shares are up 292.9% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday.STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more.TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Himax Technologies as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 9.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Although HIMX's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.27 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.42, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, HIMAX TECHNOLOGIES INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 336.57% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, HIMX should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- HIMAX TECHNOLOGIES INC has improved earnings per share by 16.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, HIMAX TECHNOLOGIES INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.30 versus $0.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.35 versus $0.30).

House Approves Subpoenas in Firing of US Attorneys
Produced by:
The White House and Congress are moving closer to a constitutional confrontation. What's the evidence of political interference in the Justice Department? Is the issue likely to end up in court? On Reporter's Notebook, Al Gore challenges Congress to act on global warming.
Making News
House Panel Approves Subpoenas for Top White House Aides ()
On a voice vote, a House Judiciary subcommittee has authorized subpoenas of top White House aides on the firing of eight US Attorneys. Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) rejected White House Counsel Fred Fielding's offer that Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testify behind closed doors, without being sworn and without any transcript of their testimony. Conyers will decide if the subpoenas actually will be issued. Republicans called the authorization "premature" and President Bush said he'll go to court to prevent a "public spectacle." Keith Perrine is legal affairs reporter for Congressional Quarterly.
- Seth Stern: Reporter for Congressional Quarterly
Main Topic
Is There Constitutional Confrontation in the Works? ()
Early this week, 3000 pages of internal Justice Department e-mails and other documents were turned over to Congress in the matter of the firing of eight US Attorneys. Three of the President Bush's closest advisors are deeply involved: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and political advisor Karl Rove. Today, a House subcommittee took the first step toward subpoenas for Rove and other top White House aides. The President says they can testify privately without any transcript being made, but Congress wants sworn public testimony--on the record. Insisting that there was no wrong-doing, Bush emphasized that he'd go to court to prevent his aides from testifying under oath. Whether or not the issue ends up in court, it will be judged in the court of public opinion. Has the Department of Justice lived up to its name or become a political arm of the White House? We update today's action with journalists and legal experts.

Reporter's Notebook
Al Gore Goes Back to the Capitol ()
Former Vice President Al Gore is back on Capitol Hill today for the first time since he certified his own defeat in the presidential election of 2002. As a Tennessee Senator and Vice President he had trouble getting a hearing on global warming. Today, testifying before a House committee, he spoke of the growing demand for action on climate change by politicians across the board as well as religious leaders and industry.

Oh joy of joy, it's that time again!
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Jonathan Greening (who looks like the second coming!) has said the Baggies will look to put further pressure on Villa this Sunday and pull us further into the relegation scrap. Villa only have one win in the last seven league matches, but you mustn't worry, because uncle O'Leary loves us all very much and wants to improve things.
The Mirror were one of several to link Milan Baros to Spanish team Villarreal in a £9million move before the World Cup. I'd love to dismiss the report, but if Doug doesn't sell a player, how else is he going to fund spending for next season? It's the old Villa trick, sell a player to two, replace them with one and expect the fans to all be happy. Full article: Click Here
Tickets for this weekends local - and now crunch - local derby v West Bromwich Albion are still on sale. The ticket office have warned that only people with a booking history will be allowed to buy the remaining tickets as they try to ensure the segregation of fans.
Holte End hero Ian Taylor has been talking about Villa manager David O'Leary in The Guardian: 'The manager has been there three years and I think people's patience is wearing a bit thin, we have not moved really in the three years that he has been there. The fans expect a lot more than what's going on and I think as the games go by and the performances don't improve then the more restless they're getting.' Adding: 'The city of Birmingham and its football fans deserve a club challenging at the other end of the league and I want that club to be Aston Villa.' I also put in my tuppence worth! Full article: Click Here
Interesting interview from a Chelsea fan following the story that Claudio Ranieri is being linked to David O'Leary's job at Villa: Full interview: Click Here Article on the link:Click Here
The charity match between Villa Oldstars and Birmingham Oldstars has been 'pulled' and Villa will now face Parkfield Veterans FC with the date - 23rd April 2006 - and the venue - Hollyfields Sports Centre, Woodacre Road (Off Holly Lane), Erdington, Birmingham, remaining the same.
Interview with a mate of mine who, after 25 years of being a season ticket holder, has said enough is enough. Click Here
The reserve game v Manchester United is to be played at Tamworth FC. The game was switched from Tuesday April 11 to Saturday April 22 as a consequence of Manchester United's involvement in the Dallas Cup. Admission will be free for Season Ticket holders. Adults (£2), Concessions (£1). This could be the Reserve League North title decider as Villa are six points short of Man Utd but have two games in hand. There you go Mr Cooper, we'll look forward to a match report please! ;-)
Derby disaster number one. Villa captain Olof Mellberg has aggravated his injury in training and will not feature in the local match v West Bromwich Albion. David O'Leary said: 'Olof has seen the physio and he doesnt feel right just yet. Its a blow but weve just got to get on with things. Olof is a big player for us and he is the captain but he doesnt feel right to play on Sunday.'
Gareth Barry is also struggling to overcome a knock to his calf.
Roy Aitkin has said that the derby will be motivation enough for the players. 'We're looking for a response but from a motivational point of view the derby game motivates the players. Our results have been poor of late but we feel there's plenty of optimism going into the derbies because we know if we play to our form on the day we've got a very good chance of winning.'
Steven Davis said: 'I think Villa fans would like to see Blues go down but the most important thing for us is results.' Funnily enough I've just had a reporter asking if I would go on record as saying I'd accept a loss v Baggies if it meant David O'Leary would be sacked! I had to decline, I can't do anything but back the mighty Villa v the Baggie Boys but you've got to admit, Doug's vision of us being the top team in the Midlands has certainly become the only focus left for this season, it won't matter to him we are 16th as long as we are above WBA and Blues!
Villa and West Bromwich Albion have both been linked to 19-year-old Coventry City player Kevin Thornton whose contract runs out in the summer.
Rodney Marsh, the voice of the Villa fans, surely not?! He said on talksport the other day: The chairman is too old, the players arent good enough and the manager has ran out of ideas.' Can't argue with that, although I do think some of our players are more than good enough which makes this season even more unforgivable!
Looks like Berson doesn't want to return - and to be fair why would he? His agent Olivier Jouanneaux said: 'Mathieu is quite confident with his future. He has still two years left on his contract with Aston Villa and he knows the usual Spanish clubs are following him. He will wait for Villa to tell him what it wants him to do. Personally, I believe Mathieu could not go back to Villa to live the same season as last year or the one Eric Djemba-Djemba is currently experiencing. A positive solution may have to be found in respect to the parties' interests.'
Milan Baros says he has no regrets coming to Villa but he also doesn't say that he is going to stay! Full article: Click Here

Yes, that is so too a word. Ranty. It means "one who has sudden outbursts of rage directed towards anything irritating. Or rude. Or irritating and rude." By the way, that definition is in the Dictionary of Janey.
While we're on the subject of new words… ranty is a kissing cousin of stabbity. This little gem is defined as "inclined to stab or appearing inclined to stab, at persons or things through aggravation or other stabworthy moods." Stabbity often festers up in the morning, before you caffeine addicts get your bean juice fix.
Note that I say you caffeine addicts because I'm one of those rare delightful creatures who doesn't require coffee or tea or whatever in the morning to get going. I'm just naturally bright and sunny when I wake up.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Even I can't pretend to buy that bit of crapola. I just happen to prefer my caffeine cold and am one who can wake up and function sans the magic stuff (just don't look at my hair right away...) Gimme an iced tea, lemon on the side… and don't be stingy, baby.
I'm ranty today. In an "I need a Snickers" kind of way. Mmmmm. Snickers.
But I digress. Again.
Here's the thing: when did people become so damn selfish and self-involved when out in public? I know this is not a new phenomenon, but it's really sticking in my craw lately. OK -- more than usual. I'm from the South. We do like our manners down here -- even partial facsimiles of manners are better than nothing. And a big part of manners involves being aware of and sensitive to others around you.
Example: There is a new car line system at Will's school. It was needed, to be honest, because after school pick up used to be survival of the fittest, with vehicles parking any damn place that pleased the drivers (like in the middle of the street) and speed limits disregarded. It was like a real-life game of Frogger. With cars. Now there's a much-more regimented system in place. An organized drop-off/pick up system. Administrators with BULL HORNS! And a one-way-in/one-way-out set up for cars. Allegedly. There's a very orderly car line set up, complete with traffic cones that cordon off things into one lane rolling in front of the school. However (you know there's always a "however" with these things…) things don't become one lane until about 10 yards before the school, leaving a two-lane system.
Can you tell that this car line thing has been the big issue of this school year so far? Most of us polite, civilized parent/guardian-type people arrive at the school and line up in the appropriate lane, on the right hand side of the thoroughfare, waiting our turn to get our kiddos. But then there are those people who come racing through on the left hand side, pull up to where the traffic cones are and then proceded to try to CUT IN LINE and merge in. Same cars every day. Trust me. I notice these things.
Makes me stabbity. STABBITY!
I realize that I could be making a mountain out of a molehill -- in the overall scheme of things, this is a very little issue that's not really that important (no matter how irritating it may be.) But I do think it's indicative of something I see more and more -- a desensitizing of folks to things and others around them. A decline in manners and politeness. It's your world. And your world. Oh yeah -- your world too. The rest of us just live in it.
Now before you start flooding the comments section with "Janey you ignorant slut" cracks defending yourself and calling me down, I'm just making some general observations. We're not all self-absorbed. It's not always about us. I know that. Sometimes it just is. Happens to everyone. But when it becomes a way of life as opposed to a situational, periodic thing, well...
Perhaps I'm hyper-sensitive because I have a kiddo who is developmentally delayed. And who sometimes is a little self-absorbed. Who doesn't always sing his song du jour in his inside voice. Who can lose patience because he doesn't always understand what's going on around him. (To his great credit, as he's maturing, these issues are losing strength. He's truly growing up.) And yes, I never EVER want to be "that mom" with the completely inappropriate child in public. We get enough looks and whispers as it is. I've been told that I'm too hard on Will in such situations -- that people like to hear him sing and it's charming when he chats up the ladies. There's a balance in there someplace that I keep trying to achieve. And yes, there's a difference between Will singing Bon Jovi loudly in the check-out line at Publix and the mom who decided that the middle of the therapy waiting room was the perfect place for her to commandeer for her and her kids to do homework as they spread out over one table and two benches and carried on as if they were in their own living room. Although the look she gave me while Will and I were working on our phonics and I asked him to name something that began with B and he said in a not-so-inside voice "boobies" was probably merited.
Yeah. I know.
Back to the matter at hand.
So now that I've gotten this issue off my, well, boobies (Shut it. I couldn't resist.), I realize that for every jackass that turned left from the right hand lane right in front of me, narrowly missing me T-boning his nasty panel van, there are gentle souls like the lovely ladies working at the Savannah Cracker Barrel who calmed my nerves and brought me to tears one stressful morn with their kindness, assuring me that Will was being just a normal kid on what was starting out to be a rough tough day.
I feel like I've eaten a virtual Snickers. All of the benefits, none of the calories.
Although I still think the world could use a memo about please, thank you and pardon me. Maybe a demonstration on holding the door open for someone else periodically. A reminder to not use the speaker function on one's cell phone in a public place unless one would like my peanut gallery comments about one's conversation. (You think I'm kidding? Try me...) And DON'T CUT IN FRONT OF ME IN CAR LINE!
Should have stopped while I was ahead.
One last thing... thank you, gentle reader, for stopping by. It's been my pleasure to host and hopefully entertain you for this brief period. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Spiti Valley is in the most northern part of Himachal Pradesh in India, running parallel to the Tibetan border. Spiti Valley has only been opened to tourists since 1992. This website is sub headed 'Eco Tourism' because our objective is to promote local people and businesses that will incorporate the Spitian community at large. All moneys paid for services mentioned on these web pages will go totally and directly to these local people. International tour operators come and go to Spiti, sometimes bringing their own tents, food, cooks, guides and leaving only rubbish behind. They do not support or mix with the community. Self-sufficiency has been the tradition of the Spitian people and therefore employment for money is limited. Tourism is one of their few viable options. By supporting Eco Tourism in Spiti the people will not have to leave their valley for work which will help to preserve their unique culture. All businesses mentioned on these web pages are run by people from either Spiti, Kinnaur, Shimla, Manali, or Tibet. The advantages of making bookings through this web site are that you will employ only local people and you will be welcomed and included into the lives of the Spitian people. When you stay in a Spitian homestay not only your hosts will benefit but many more in the same village. Your money will pay others for their contributions of food, song, dance and transport etc. If you have any comments, suggestions or would like to contribute in any way please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

For the last week, the streets of Mumbai have been lit up – by brightly coloured posters loudly announcing Diwali sales and by spectacular fireworks that left the dogs howling. It seemed like typical festival fever.
But if celebrations this Diwali are anything to go by, India is developing fast: two reports from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) show that online shopping grew, and sales of firecrackers fell this Diwali. Continue reading »


text: So I made a 3 tiered wedding cake along with a sheet cake for my Uncle's wedding. It was for 170 people and I figured out the amount of cake I would need according to the Wilton chart and it was right around 170 so there should not have been much left over. However, the caterers cut the cake and they cut the pieces really small. Also, the order of everything was really odd. They ate dinner first, then had the wedding ceremony & took pictures, then did the cake last. By the time they got to the cake a lot of people were tired of waiting and left before the cake was cut. Because of all of this there was so much cake left over that all they ended up doing was cutting the sheet cake. They never even cut the tiered cake. Has anyone had this happen where they had so much cake left over? I don't want them to think I made too much, but the caterers obviously didn't know how to cut a cake right, which didn't help.

Grands Crus: Impressive winner of the Feltham at Kempton
Grands Crus was an easy winner of the Grade One williamhill.com Feltham Novices' Chase (In Memory Of Nigel Clark) at Kempton on Boxing Day.
The good-looking grey jumped brilliantly throughout the three-mile contest and coped well with the turns racing on a right-handed circuit for the first time.
Tom Scudamore had him settled in a lovely rhythm early on towards the back of the field as Mr Moonshine and Teaforthree set a decent gallop.
The pace suited Grands Crus who travelled well within himself in behind and he glided through the field to take the lead down the back stretch on the second circuit.
Silviniaco Conti followed him through under Ruby Walsh but he was soon vigorously riding when rounding the home turn with Grands Crus doing things easily in front.
David Pipe's charge settled things in the straight with more fluent jumping as Silviniaco Conti and Bobs Worth stayed on well, but without troubling the winner who was eased down for a two-and-a-quarter length victory.
Silviniaco Conti finished second with Bobs Worth in third.
Sky Bet go 2/1 from 4/1 about Grands Crus for the RSA chase and he's 10/1 from 16s for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Scudamore said: "He was very good again. That was his best performance yet over fences and hopefully there's more to come as well.
"The one thing David (Pipe) said to me beforehand was whatever you do make sure you win, so I did it nice and simple.
"He was always taking me there and it was always important to keep a position. It was his jumping that took me there more than anything, he wasn't as free today.
"Kempton will be the quickest track he's run on over fences and he jumped superbly again.
"It was another top-class performance. It was his first Grade One win and it's nice to get one on the board."
Pipe said: "They went a good gallop but he got there with a lot of ease, and Gerry Supple had been on him the last couple of days to try to get him to settle as he'd been keen.
"He was very quick over his hurdles, but he respects fences and it's probably helped Tom slow him down a bit.
"He's been very good over his fences, very neat and economical. It's great for his owners, me, the yard, everyone.
"Tom has given him three super rides, just schooled him round and done what he has to do."
Pipe added: "He jumped and travelled, and will probably have one more run before Cheltenham - I'll discuss it with the owners but he'll probably have an entry in the Gold Cup as well.
"You'd be silly not to give him the Gold Cup entry but he's got plenty of time and a lot can happen between then (March) and now.
"We've seen what Big Buck's has done this year and for us to get as close to Big Buck's shows how good he is and how good Grands Crus is.
"It was good ground today and so it wasn't his favoured going and we wanted to make sure there was a stronger pace, that's why he went on as far out as he did."
Paul Nicholls said of Silviniaco Conti: "Ruby (Walsh) said it rode like some race and those are probably the best three staying novices around.
"I wouldn't want to be bumping into Grands Crus again soon, but it was a great run.
"It's not set in stone he'll go to Cheltenham as I've half a mind he's a horse that needs to be looked after this year, but I've not ruled it out."
Nicky Henderson said of Bobs Worth: "Barry (Geraghty) said they were going quick enough round there but he was happy with him.
"He was a bit thick in his wind and was jumping left-handed, so he might want to go the other way round. He stays three miles though."

Tunisians Bury Opposition Leader as Police Clash with Youths (Tunis)
The assassination sent Tunisia's benchmark stock index tumbling 3.7 percent on Feb. 6, the biggest drop since Jan. 13, 2011, the eve of Ben Ali's departure. The killing also reverberated in Egypt, where secularists have expressed alarm over the power of Islamists under President Mohammed Morsi. The Tunis index rose 0.7 percent Friday.
Tunisia is in talks for a $1.78 billion International Monetary Fund stand-by loan to help buttress an economy that grew 2.7 percent in 2012 and may expand 3.3 percent this year, according to IMF estimates.
Beleid's widow, Besma Khalfaoui, said Thursday that she held Ennahda "with its fascist and democratic branches" responsible for his death, a charge the party denied. She said her husband had asked police for protection.
Jbeli and the secular president, Moncef Marzouki, condemned the assassination, urging Tunisians not to be dragged into violence.
Tunisia's road to democracy has been paved with rifts and accusations that the influence of a small yet vocal and at times violent movement of ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafis may undercut a secular tradition.
Beleid's murder came after a Salafi cleric said in a video posted on the Internet that his head, and that of Ahmed Najib Chebbi, another top opposition party figure, were "wanted."
His death followed a Feb. 3 arson attack on the secular Nidaa Tounes opposition party headquarters in Kebili province, and clashes between opposition groups and government supporters in the cities of El Kef and Kairouan.
Hussein Abbasi, secretary-general of the Tunisian labor union organizing Friday's strike, received a death threat Thursday on his mobile phone, union spokesman Sami Tahiri said.
In Washington, Victoria Nuland, a U.S. State Department spokeswoman, said demonstrators and the Tunisian government should exercise restraint and called for a full investigation of Beleid's death.
The assassination drew quick rebuke from secularists in Egypt, where Hosni Mubarak's 2011 ouster unleashed unrest and sent the economy into a tailspin. They say Mursi has put the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood organization that fielded him for office ahead of the nation's.

Leading and Merging: Convex Costs, Stackelberg, and the Merger Paradox
This paper examines the consequences of a Stackelberg leader merging with followers when costs are convex. Such mergers are always profitable for the participants, and the followers often do better merging than remaining excluded rivals. This resolution of the merger paradox cannot be generated either by Stackelberg leadership without convex costs or by convex costs without leadership. In addition, with convex costs, a merger with the leader can actually harm excluded rivals (suggesting why they might object to the merger) and increase social welfare.Download Info

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A highly touted freshman carried Florida early. The team's lone upperclassman took over late.
Together, Nick Calathes and Walter Hodge helped coach Billy Donovan's rebuilding project get off to a smooth start.Calathes scored 21 points, Hodge added 15 and the two-time defending national champion Gators beat pesky North Dakota State 75-65 on Friday night to open the season.Calathes drove to the basket early and often, taking advantage of his quick first step and 6-foot-6 frame to get high-percentage shots.But Hodge came up big down the stretch. The junior made three of the team's final four shots -- all driving layups -- and prevented the Bison from making a comeback."Walter made some really, really explosive finishes to the basket," Donovan said. "I saw tremendous passion from him. I think he tried to take over a leadership role with our guys, which I was really encouraged to see that. Some of these guys don't know where to turn to. They're listening to me, but I'm not out there."Walt did a real good job and made some plays and some big plays that certainly helped up get a victory."It wasn't easy, especially since the Gators played their first game in four years without Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Joakim Noah.The foursome helped Florida win 68 games the last two years, including 18 in a row in the postseason. They won back-to-back Southeastern Conference tournaments and became the first team in 15 years to repeat as national champs. Then they jumped to the NBA, leaving Donovan with only nine scholarship players -- Hodge, three sophomores and five freshmen.The Gators don't have the inside presence they had with Horford and Noah, but they have plenty of outside shooting and a willingness to play defense -- the two biggest characteristics of "Billyball."Marreese Speights, Florida's lone low-post player, finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. His dunk with 47 seconds to play was the team's only one of the game.Donovan thought Speights could have been more dominant down low. Calathes and Hodge picked up the slack."I think Nick Calathes is a kid that we will look at in a few years and think, 'Holy Cow," North Dakota State coach Saul Phillips said. "He is that good right now."Donovan expected his young and inexperienced team to struggle, especially early, but the Gators used an up-tempo offense and a pressing defense to take an early lead.The Gators led 39-25 at halftime, thanks mostly to Calathes' 10 points. He made three of the team's first four shots after the break and helped Florida build an 18-point lead. He came up big again later, driving the lane and hitting consecutive baskets to turn an eight-point game into a double-digit lead.But North Dakota State chipped away with its veteran lineup; the Bison returned four starters from last season's team that finished 20-8 and won at Marquette. They cut the lead to 69-63 with 2:27 remaining, but missed several 3-pointers in the final minutes.Mike Nelson led North Dakota State with 17 points and six assists. Brett Winkelman added 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Ben Woodside also had 16 points, and Michael Tveidt chipped in 12.Nelson, Winkelman, Woodside and Tveidt combined for 61 of the team's 65 points."It was great for our guys to be in some of those situations, to have to grind and fight and find a way to win a game," Donovan said.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Here's how RW members rated this race (102 votes).
In short: Enjoyable race despite the icy windIn full: Very friendly and well organised race which was well marshalled . Condsidering it all takes place on the suburban pavements the route has been well worked out and was bang on 10 miles.The 6 mile marker was in the incorrect place though and showed up at 5.5 miles. Didn't think I was that fast!Good to have the warmth of the school to use before and after and coffee and cake is always a winner.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Brilliantly organised, really great marshals and now spot on 10 miles with big PB potentialIn full: Despite the bitter cold all the marshals were really supportive and friendly. The organisation was excellent in every respect with full results out quickly at the race HQ and up on the web in a few hours. Great refreshments and a lightining fast course that was spot on 10 miles now that the course has been changed slightly and officially measured. Also the cheapest race that I've entered for years -a real bargain.Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Better than expected!!In full: Friendly and plentiful marshalls. Not particularly exciting route but I actually quite liked the 3 laps, I knew where I was all the time! Well organised, vey friendly, great to have the use of the school before and after to stay warm. Nice atmosphere, many thanks to the Marshall who looked after my gloves and got them back to me safely at the end!!Date of review: March 10, 2013
In short: Well organised, well marshalled, good local low-key raceIn full: It doesn't sound promising - three laps of a fairly dull course - but it works. I've done this race a few times and always enjoyed it. It's very well organised and marshalled, and has a friendly atmosphere.Date of review: March 10, 2013
In short: 2nd time for me - recovery run after HellRunner. Good marshals.In full: True to form the organisers said this would be a free entry for those last year who discovered that the distance was short. This time there was no such problem and the distance was bang on. I would say that the marshals were great - full of support and cheer - seeing as it was such a cold morning. The S.E.S Runners were out in force today and our latest member came in with a PB, doing nearly twice the distance he'd ever run in one go! The route is nothing to write home about (perhaps a route through the park could be considered in future??). Good value for money (I made a donation), good facilities and certainly a course that in future I'd like to push out and get a PB on (if I'm not recovering from another event). S.E.S Runners do their home town race, and all of us came over the line. Thanks.Date of review: February 14, 2012
In short: A great Sunday morning run outIn full: Brilliant marshals on a v cold day and well organised overall. Good local club run on a fast course would a) consider doing it again and b) be churlish to knock it for the sake of the weak tea. Good going Kent AC.Date of review: February 12, 2012
In short: Well organised and enjoyable race. Thanks especially to the marshalls for maintaining enthusiasm throughout on a cold morning. Good job all around! Date of review: February 12, 2012
In short: Short course againIn full: I paid money for a 10 mile race and didn't get what I paid for. I knew that there had been controversy about the length of this race in the past, but the race website stated that the course had been remeasured and certfied for this year. Unfortunately the race route was different from the remeasured and certified course ... it's a great PB course if you're after a 9.75-ish mile PB. The marshalls were good, there was no baggage store, drinks at the end were inadequate. I certainly won't do this race again.Date of review: March 3, 2011
In short: First timerIn full: I enjoyed the race and though the marshalls in particular plentiful and very friendly - thaks to all. Good facilities (especially parking). Did this as pre-London Marathon training and it worked fine. Ran steady for 7 miles as running with a slightly slower friend but then busted myself for the last 3 to get in at 82 mins, which I was happy enough with. Seems the course was a bit short though, not a problem for me especially, but can understand people's frustration. Would definately do it again.Date of review: February 18, 2011
In short: Shorter than 10miles!!In full: Oh dear-I wish I hadn't read the other reviews... I was hoping that my iPhone Nike app was incorrect! Really disappointed especially as I thought I'd broken my PB!! I wasn't particularly impressed with the organisation either- almost got run over by a car at the start!Did anyone notice that the 2 mile to go sign was half a mile down the road from the 8mile sign?Definitely won't be signing up to this one next year!Date of review: February 15, 2011

Re: Best Gun for Beginner/Female
mhott, Welcome to the forum! I'm with OZO here, but after holding as many guns as you can to get the feel for what's right for you, you also need to shoot as many as possible. I can honestly say that I would not feel under gunned with a .380, or a .38. Both will work, but they have a limited ammo supply. I spent the morning with another member here, Iron Eagle, and his 17 year old dauther. She shot several handgus today for the first time in her life. We started with a .22, then moved up to the .380. Next up was a .38, then a .45ACP. Guess which gun she liked best? The .45! You just have to try a bunch to see what you like best. BTY, the .380 is the smallest caliber most of us will recomend as a Self Defense hand gun.
Y'all be safe now, ya hear!
Without God we have no moral compass. Without Family we have no purpose. Without Guns we can not defend either our religious choice, or our family! Millwright

High Desert BarnsNeighborhoods:
Thank You Letter – High Desert Barns is a quality business. As victims of the Washoe Drive fire, our entire backyard burned. This included two barns, five stalls full of hay, supplements, various horse supplies and panels. We have three horses that luckily were evacuated ten minutes before the fire consumed our barns. We turned to High Desert Barns to expedite getting another barn up quickly get our horses back home. Sandra immediately went to work getting our permit, ordering materials and organizing personnel to get our barn back up. Four weeks later, our backyard was cleaned up, reworked with 500 tons of dirt and barn up. We were so thankful we contacted High Desert Barns. Their expertise, congeniality and quality service surpassed our expectations. Thank you for a job well done.

Definition of Boston lettuce in English:
Boston lettuce
Syllabification: Bos·ton let·tucenoun
- A butterhead lettuce of a variety that has medium or light green leaves.More example sentences
- Use spinach, romaine, Boston lettuce, endive, kale, and baby field greens to boost the nutritional charge.
- Remember, a serving is only a half-cup of mixed veggies such as zucchini or broccoli or 1 cup of the leafy stuff like red leaf or Boston lettuce.

Welcome to the A&M Personal Training page for upto date Health and Fitness news from around the world. |
Regular Exercise Reduces Large Number of Health Risks Including Dementia and Some Cancers, Study Finds ScienceDaily — Regular exercise can reduce around two dozen physical and mental health conditions and slow down how quickly the body ages, according to a research review summarising the key findings of 40 papers published between 2006 and 2010. The paper provides an invaluable source for both news and feature editors as it is divided into a number of key sections, ranging from: "Why should I exercise" to "I'm too busy, I don't have time." Health conditions covered by the review include: cancer, heart disease, dementia, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity and high blood pressure. People who take regular exercise could reduce their risk of developing around two dozen physical and mental health conditions -- including some cancers and dementia -- and slow down how quickly their body deteriorates as they age. Obese the new "norm" (BBC/Health) A YouGov poll of 2,000, carried out last year with Slimming World, found three in four obese people in the UK were unaware of their weight problem. This survey found only 7% of people believed their weight was significant enough for them to be classified as obese, despite over a quarter of those interviewed fitting into this category. Experts say part of the problem is that obesity is becoming normalised by society. With two-thirds of UK adults now overweight or obese, the average size is no longer average. Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum says obesity is now so common-placed that we no longer see it. "Everybody is getting heavier and, as a result, people think 'I'm not so heavy - look at her' and then fail to realise they themselves have a problem." |
People who are physically fit and active have fewer and milder colds, indicates research published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The US researchers base their findings on 1,000 adults up to the age of 85 whose respiratory health was tracked for 12 weeks during the autumn and winter of 2008. Six out of 10 participants were women, and four out of 10 were aged between 18 and 39; 40% were middle aged, and one in four were aged 60 and older. All the participants reported back on how frequently they took aerobic exercise and rated their fitness levels using a validated 10 point scoring system. They were also asked about lifestyle, diet and recent stressful events, as these can all affect immune system response. The number of days with cold symptoms varied considerably between winter and autumn, with an average of 13 days in the winter and 8 days in the autumn. Being older, male, and married, seemed to reduce the frequency of colds, but after taking account of other influential factors, the most significant factors were perceived fitness and the amount of exercise taken. |

Why the Lysogenic State of Phage λ Is So Stable: A Mathematical Modeling Approach Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 1, 1 January 2004, Pages 75-84 Moisés Santillán and Michael C. Mackey Abstract We develop a mathematical model of the phage λ lysis/lysogeny switch, taking into account recent experimental evidence demonstrating enhanced cooperativity between the left and right operator regions. Model parameters are estimated from available experimental data. The model is shown to have a single stable steady state for these estimated parameter values, and this steady state corresponds to the lysogenic state. When the CI degradation rate (γcI) is slightly increased from its normal value (γcI ≃ 0.0min−1), two additional steady states appear (through a saddle-node bifurcation) in addition to the lysogenic state. One of these new steady states is stable and corresponds to the lytic state. The other steady state is an (unstable) saddle node. The coexistence these two globally stable steady states (the lytic and lysogenic states) is maintained with further increases of γcI until γcI ≃ 0.35min−1, when the lysogenic steady state and the saddle node collide and vanish (through a reverse saddle node bifurcation) leaving only the lytic state surviving. These results allow us to understand the high degree of stability of the lysogenic state because, normally, it is the only steady state. Further implications of these results for the stability of the phage λ switch are discussed, as well as possible experimental tests of the model. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (234 kb) |
How Proteins Search for Their Specific Sites on DNA: The Role of DNA Conformation Biophysical Journal, Volume 90, Issue 8, 15 April 2006, Pages 2731-2744 Tao Hu, A. Yu. Grosberg and B.I. Shklovskii Abstract It is known since the early days of molecular biology that proteins locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders-of-magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. An accepted explanation of this fact is that proteins are nonspecifically adsorbed on DNA, and sliding along DNA provides for the faster one-dimensional search. Surprisingly, the role of DNA conformation was never considered in this context. In this article, we explicitly address the relative role of three-dimensional diffusion and one-dimensional sliding along coiled or globular DNA and the possibility of correlated readsorption of desorbed proteins. We have identified a wealth of new different scaling regimes. We also found the maximal possible acceleration of the reaction due to sliding. We found that the maximum on the rate-versus-ionic strength curve is asymmetric, and that sliding can lead not only to acceleration, but also in some regimes to dramatic deceleration of the reaction.

Model of Intracellular Calcium Cycling in Ventricular Myocytes Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 6, 1 December 2003, Pages 3666-3686 Y. Shiferaw, M.A. Watanabe, A. Garfinkel, J.N. Weiss and A. Karma Abstract We present a mathematical model of calcium cycling that takes into account the spatially localized nature of release events that correspond to experimentally observed calcium sparks. This model naturally incorporates graded release by making the rate at which calcium sparks are recruited proportional to the whole cell L-type calcium current, with the total release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) being just the sum of local releases. The dynamics of calcium cycling is studied by pacing the model with a clamped action potential waveform. Experimentally observed calcium alternans are obtained at high pacing rates. The results show that the underlying mechanism for this phenomenon is a steep nonlinear dependence of the calcium released from the SR on the diastolic SR calcium concentration (SR load) and/or the diastolic calcium level in the cytosol, where the dependence on diastolic calcium is due to calcium-induced inactivation of the L-type calcium current. In addition, the results reveal that the calcium dynamics can become chaotic even though the voltage pacing is periodic. We reduce the equations of the model to a two-dimensional discrete map that relates the SR and cytosolic concentrations at one beat and the previous beat. From this map, we obtain a condition for the onset of calcium alternans in terms of the slopes of the release-versus-SR load and release-versus-diastolic-calcium curves. From an analysis of this map, we also obtain an understanding of the origin of chaotic dynamics. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (299 kb) |

We show that the standard theoretical framework in single-molecule force spectroscopy has to be extended to consistently describe the experimental findings. The basic amendment is to take into account heterogeneity of the chemical bonds via random variations of the force-dependent dissociation rates. This results in a very good agreement between theory and rupture data from several different experiments.

Syrian bloggers brace for fresh blow to Middle East press freedom
A Syrian law awaiting parliamentary approval is one of a raft of measures across the region to clamp down on a surge in Internet activity over the past decade.
(Page 2 of 2)
But Syria is ranked even worse than Egypt on this year's annual press freedom chart by Reporters without Borders. The international organization based in Paris put Syria at 173 out of 178 countries, just behind Sudan and China, and beating out only Iran and a handful of others.

Defamation is concern, say governments
Syrian websites espousing harsh political criticism, such as All4Syria, are blocked along with some human rights and social networking sites such as YouTube and Facebook – although most Syrians use proxy software to access them. Many publications are subject to censorship.
But this is not a complete picture, say analysts. Taleb Kadi Amin, director of the Arab Radio & TV training center in Damascus and former deputy information minister, says the Syrian law is part of a global trend to regulate the Internet and deal with negative effects such as violations of copyright law.
"This law is simply designed to tell online journalists that they are responsible for what they write," he says. "Many websites copy and paste material and publish defamatory or untrue material, often anonymously, and there is currently no mechanism to deal with it."
"It is not about limiting freedom of expression but giving support to legitimate online journalists and increasing people's rights not to be defamed," he added.
But such laws include a risk of abuse, say analysts. "The challenge is promulgating a law that cannot be used to silence dissent," says Professor Hamdy.
More anxiety for journalists
Syrian bloggers claim the new regulations will lead them to self-censor, write anonymously, or leave the country, which will lower their credibility, but some say the law will have little consequence.
"The Internet is almost impossible to police and Syria and other countries already mete out penalties without a specific law," says Joshua Landis, a Syria expert at Oklahoma University. "It will, however, add another layer of anxiety for journalists."
Professor Landis, operator of the blog Syria Comment, adds that it was in the interest of all countries to have a free press, including Syria.
"It is necessary for the economic liberalization desired by Syria," he says. "Many officials realize that debating difficult topics such as the removal of subsidies and salary disparities is more likely to get people onside with painful but needed reforms."
