national science foundation
an independent agency of the U.S. government that supports basic research and education in a wide range of sciences and in mathematics and engineering. It was inspired by advances in science and technology that occurred as a result of World War II; the NSF was established by the U.S. Congress in the National Science Foundation Act of 1950. From a budget of approximately $3 billion in the mid-1990s, it provided about 20,000 awards a year to scientists, students, and teachers. It provided about one quarter of total federal support of basic scientific research at academic institutions, making it a major source for funding in basic research in the United States.

The NAT Traversal Service lets you easily construct a communication environment without any complicated router settings. The service offers economical operation by using an Internet connection. Plus, 7-digit terminal ID can be selected. In contrast to conventional IP addresses, this terminal ID number (connection number) can be accessed with the same ease as dialing a phone number. Encrypted communication ensures safe Internet use.
Because this service is based on a Panasonic server, it doesn't require a VPN or other private network like ordinary videoconference systems do. You also do not need to make any complicated network settings, so system set-up is quick and easy.
Service subscribers can connect to each other from inside or outside the company, so business communication with clients and others is possible without any travelling.
Mistaken or unauthorised transmission is prevented by setting an encryption key. This also prevents the leaking of information during conversations. In addition to one common key, up to ten separate encryption keys can be set for groups, i.e., one for each group. By using a different encryption key from the one for in-company communication, this makes it possible to prevent erroneous connections between non-company and company parties.

Illustration: Istvan Banyai Years ago I lived in a two-bedroom apartment with my boyfriend at the time, and initially we shared the office, back-to-back, each working away at our computers.
But he was a newshound, and he'd read Internet news extensively while I was writing, making thoughtful grunts at each article. Months went by like this, and other times he'd give up on the news and I'd hear him typing away behind me. Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap. I couldn't ask him not to type; it was his office, too. But the distraction was overwhelming. And the office space felt too big to me, anyway. When we had looked for a place to live, I'd been intrigued by the idea of writing in a hall closet, creating a little writing chamber all my own. Some of the apartment buildings in Hollywood were endowed with beautiful, substantial closets, with tiny windows and sometimes even a built-in shelf, perfect for the printer! Ours turned out to be windowless and fairly small, so I gave up and hung my clothes in it. A year later, unable to bear the drumming of fingers on keys, I drove myself to Target, bought a standing hanging rod, took the clothes out, cleaned up, placed a card table at one end, and, with some geometric maneuvering, shoved a desk chair into the other. By angling myself into the chair, there was just enough room to sit. We strung extension cords along the floor and ceiling, and hooked the computer up to a plug in the living room. The first morning I stepped inside, I was dizzy with a strange new panic; the closet seemed too small, too dusty—and what was this ominous gray electrical box to my left? I kept the door half open. I told myself I'd give it two weeks, and then decide. I don't remember when the two weeks passed. I wrote in that closet for more than two years. I'd always assumed that when Virginia Woolf referred to a room of one's own, she meant a light-filled studio by a lake. But the truth is, there can be something very useful about a small, dark space. Large meadows are lovely for picnics and romping, but they are for the lighter feelings. Meadows do not make me want to write. Writing can be a frightening, distressing business, and whatever kind of structure or buffer is available can help a lot. For almost 17 years now, I've been faithful to a two-hours-a-day routine, every morning, five or six days a week. I get up, sit down, check e-mail briefly, turn off my e-mail and Internet, look at the time on the computer, write the two-hour marker on a little pad of paper on my desk, and begin. Inspired by the highly regular routines of writers like Stephen King, Flannery O'Connor, Trollope, and many more, I tried to tailor mine to my own idiosyncrasies. In my rule book, I don't have to do anything except sit at the computer, but I'm not allowed to do anything else, and I usually get so bored I start to work. I generally stop to the minute, because I'm so ready to stop, and because I don't want to mess with the rules. The rigid time structure, much like the idea of the cramped closet, is freeing, and for me, the more I can externalize the ritual, the easier it is to submit to it. It's all a declaration against the regular dread I used to feel all the time when I wasn't writing. Once the structure was formalized, the dread diminished dramatically. A number of years ago, I cosigned a contract with a friend, Sarah Shute, a very good writer who wanted to work on her stories more regularly but found it difficult to prioritize the time. Writing every day can be a powerful action, a gesture of belief in one's own imagination, and she knew it. "I just wish someone would order me to write every day," she said. "Because otherwise I just don't do it." We were painting yellow stripes in my office at the university where I teach. She paused, brush in hand. "Would you ever do something like that?" she asked.

Song Stories
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun"
Cyndi Lauper | 1983
Although Cyndi Lauper's debut single would eventually become a female anthem of the Eighties, she told Rolling Stone she had to alter the lyrics from Robert Hazard's 1979 original, which was sung from a man's perspective. "It was originally about how fortunate he was 'cause he was a guy around these girls that wanted to have 'fun' -- with him -- down there, which we do not speak lest we go blind," she said. The "Girls" video told of her repressed childhood and featured a colorful cast of characters, including pro wrestling manager Lou Albano as her father alongside her real mother.

Want More Traffic On Your Website? Take The 5 Day Challenge
It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're trying to figure out how to get more people to visit your website, but it doesn't have to be that complicated. To get you started, I've compiled a list of five simple things you can post on your website over the course of the next week that I guarantee you will get you more traffic to your website than you currently receive if you take a little time to do them.
Ideally, you should have some kind of blog functionality on your site which makes it easy for you to add content – if you don't have that yet, then you're going to want to set that up before you do this. But assuming you do have the ability to easily post content on your website, then here's a simple outline you can follow to jumpstart your website.

5 Things Comedians Need To Stop Doing On Facebook
Facebook is an incredibly powerful tool and a great asset to any comedian's career, but unfortunately too many comics have picked up a few bad habits when it comes to using the social network.
Here's a few things you should stop doing on Facebook because they're ineffective, counterproductive, and often times just plain annoying to your fans.
5 Ways You Can Get Paid For Being Funny Online
Besides using the Internet to grow your fanbase and promote your projects, you can also use it to directly make money from your comedic talent. There's a lot of different ways that you can monetize your ability to be funny online, but relatively few comedians actually take advantage of these opportunities.
Here's a breakdown of five things you can do to start making money online from your comedy…
The One Fear Every Comedian Needs To Conquer
When I talk to comedians about the state of their career and how they can take it to the next level, one of the first things I try to assess is why they're struggling to get where they want to go.
In many cases, they need a better understanding of how to use all the tools at their disposal to grow their fanbase and further their career – something I'm always happy to help with.
But too often, what they need goes beyond a business and marketing strategy. What they actually need, first and foremost, is to conquer the fear of failure that prevents them from success.

Comments about Neem Oil - 2 oz:
First off, I bought this for a cat, as it is listed on Wag.com in their products for cats. The first thing the bottle says if that it is for dogs only.
It also says on Wag that this can be used as a flea/tick/insect repellent, which IS NOT listed at all on the bottle itself. According to the bottle, it is only for: "ringworm, eczema, fungal infections". So I ended up giving it to my neighbor.

DROID Ultra test photos unearthed by @evleaks, we're not overly impressed
And here we go again - just a few hours ago, infamous @evleaks has tweeted what are purportedly test photos snapped with the DROID Ultra's alleged 10-megapixel 'RBGC' sensor. In case you're wondering, that extra 'C' subpixel is supposed to help with white balance and exposure. Whether this is the same 'ClearPixel' shooter that is expected to come with the Moto X is anyone's guess, though.
As you can guess, we're not at all impressed by what we're seeing. Hold your horses, though – we're pretty sure that Motorola has more work to do, and as mentioned – if real, these are strictly test photos and not indicative of the quality of the camera that's going to end up in the DROID Ultra.
We also remind you that unbeknown to us remain the release date for the DROID Ultra, and its price tag. We do, however, have an idea of how the internals will sound like – a 5-inch, 1080p display will come powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM.

Hey, whatever. All these leaks feed my belief that the phone is coming this month. I trust that they have more work to do with camera software, but then again... this is Motorola.
17. SupermanayrB (Posts: 104; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I'm doubting this month. Maybe August or September. I only remember Moto dropping phones in September, October, November & January.
20. roldefol (Posts: 2855; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Lately it's been about every 10 months. That way people on 2 year contracts can upgrade to the latest and greatest if they like their current manufacturer.
2. PapaSmurf (Posts: 5807; Member since: 14 May 2012)
The pictures are not bad at all... Whatever you're smoking PA, give me some too.
11. Chris.P (Posts: 163; Member since: 27 Jun 2013)
The gallery doesn't really let you zoom in enough for you to notice, I guess. I suggest you take a look at the actual source at Picassa and make use of the zoom function. Moreover, notice any purplish hue?
13. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Those pics looks good for a phone camera , especially compared with my galaxy s2
14. protozeloz (Posts: 5284; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
And this is why the dammed widget needs to die (gallery)
23. quakan (Posts: 1064; Member since: 02 Mar 2011)
If PA gets rid of the widget, Android fans will scream, "iPhonearena" all day long.
22. VZWuser76 (Posts: 891; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
From the looks of the photos they appear to have been taken at either dusk or dawn. That could account for the purple hue. Not saying that absolutley, but it is a possibility.
18. sum182 (Posts: 208; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Thats what i used to think about my Droid DNA pictures....then i zoomed in lol Take Chris.P's suggestion and you'll see.
3. clevername (Posts: 1401; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
White balance? On these dark pics? Better get back to the lab
6. roldefol (Posts: 2855; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Could also be an overcast day. I can't draw any conclusions from two gray outdoor shots.
12. Tomfromsouth (Posts: 43; Member since: 02 Apr 2012)
Fair enough chris. It hasn't got the white balance right at all. Unless they were taken at proper dusk. Judging by the skyline they were taken during just an overcast day. So yeah, they're pretty unexposed in my opinion. Colours bland and too dark.
4. ckoch125 (Posts: 163; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
When has a Moto camera done anything other than disappoint? It's always been their weak spot.
16. SupermanayrB (Posts: 104; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Hopefully that trend stops with this device. We don't know if that's what the scenery actually looked like since we weren't there. I'm not basing anything off of someone else's photos.
5. abcdefgh (banned) (Posts: 471; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
dafuq?since when people are expecting good camera from oems other than NOKIA
19. Pedro0x (Posts: 254; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Phonearena, please return the thumb down button, please? This troll just asks for it.
You know that SGS4 is the king for now in most detailed pictures and video in day light, nokia and htc are however better in night situations.
And these two pictures are not very good, from a high-end phone in 2013 I would expect more.
21. roldefol (Posts: 2855; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
They could bring it back but only make it subtract from the thumbs up. That would balance things out without the big ugly red thumbs.
7. jedpatrickdatu (Posts: 145; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
They're actually pretty good. Very sharp and detailed.
8. HASHTAG (unregistered)
I honestly don't see anything bad about these photos.

15. SupermanayrB (Posts: 104; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I'm just waiting to see it in person & make the judgement for myself. I don't rely on phone reviews from here, engadget or bgr. It's all about how the phone works for the individual, not the crowd. Waiting for when it's available in stores.
24. BattleBrat (Posts: 883; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
My Razrs photos all are cyan biased, with camera fv5 I can use the x rite passport and run it through my workflow, lot of work for a so so camera, the Honami however...
25. RomeoJDR (Posts: 237; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
For outdoor photo shooting other than after dark those are some look to be some of the hardest conditions to capture decent photos. I know my Droid Razor wouldn't capture those scenes as well.

In marketing, John Fogarty, a senior marketer with a number of years of Wall Street sales experience, resigned to seek a position as marketing chief at a hedge fund operation that does not already have someone in...

Australians love social media - that much is clear - but if you've ever wondered what sites have the highest membership per state or why consumers follow certain brands on Twitter and Facebook over others, then this infographic is for you.
Developed by Marketing magazine and Transmission Design, the infographic looks at the way consumers use social media and what they want from brands. It uses figures from Nielsen's 'Australian Online Consumer Report' and the results show some interesting stats for how retailers should be using their social media.

Australian universities will not make it to 2025 unless they significantly improve their digital platforms and current business models, according to a new report.
Ernst & Young's 'University of the Future' report was released earlier this week and it declared that the current public university model in Australia will prove unviable in the next decade, in all but a few cases. It seems that if universities don't better utilise digital opportunities, they won't survive.

As previously explored, the recent Digital Disruption report from Deloitte examines the impact of digital innovation on individual sectors, analysing how much change they can expect to experience in the years to come and how long they have to adapt.
This accompanying infographic sets out some of their key findings, chiefly that the Australian economy will be facing greater digital disruption in the coming years, with businesses needing to begin planning strategic responses to this as soon as possible.

Apparently, the short answer to this question is yes.
It seems that Australian businesses are still resisting going online, dismissing social media and refusing to divert their attention and budget away from traditional sales channels.

According to a new report, one-third of the Australian economy faces major digital disruption in the near future and companies face watching 50% of their business perish if they don't adapt to the digital changes quickly and efficiently.
The report by Deloitte titled 'Digital disruption: Short fuse, big bang?' looks at the impact of digital innovation on individual industries, analysing how much additional change they can expect to experience in the years to come. The report also speculates what time frame each industry has to adapt and how they should pull together the right strategic response to cope with these changes.

It looks like Facebook could be attempting a further push into e-commerce with the reported creation of a new feature which will allow users create wish lists of home furnishings, clothing and other retail products.
The new Collections feature enables retailers to put 'want' and 'collect' buttons on their pictures, which can be clicked by users to create a wish list on their personal profiles.
The buttons are still in beta testing at the moment and will only be rolled out to the US initially, but if they prove successful there is no doubt they will be available for Australian retailers too.

Seven out of ten digital marketers believe they have equal or more digital expertise than their managers and over half think their co-workers lack the skills needed to run successful campaigns.
These statistics come from Responsys' third annual Big Australia Report, which revealed there is a widening gap in the skills of Australian digital marketers.

With fast internet, reliable technology and a strong dollar, Australians are increasingly shopping online, a topic that continues to dominate the news; especially in the context of international e-commerce sites trumping local retailers.
However, recent data from a Commonwealth Bank study points towards an emerging shift of Australian stores starting to gain back market share from international competitors.

Chester Bowl Fall Fest — a fundraiser, so that all may ski
Chester Bowl Improvement Club will host its 29th annual Fall Festival at the ski hill in Chester Park, raising funds they intend to give to local skiers.By: Jake La Jeunesse, Duluth Budgeteer News
Chester Bowl Improvement Club will host its 29th annual Fall Festival at the ski hill in Chester Park, raising funds they intend to give to local skiers. Last year the club gave away $10,000, more than $6000 of which came from this event. This made season passes to the ski hill and equipment accessible to nearly 50 families.
The event happens Saturday, Sept. 21.
"It absolutely changes families' lives to be able to ski in the winter," said Thom Storm, executive director of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club. Storm told of one family with five children where the whole family learned to ski — four children and the mother and father; an infant was too young. Storm said the mother reported that the family was able to enjoy time together and that the winter went by so much faster. The value of the scholarship for the family was more than $520 and included skis, helmets and poles.
"If you don't give up on yourself," said Storm, "we will be able to teach you to ski," Storm said of teaching children with learning disabilities to ski. He said for some people learning to ski has been a "game changer."
"All of a sudden, kids are getting ahead at school," Storm said of the self-confidence learning to ski brings to children. "Winter's not so bad when you're having fun."
"The ski hill has never turned anyone away," said Ann Meyers, president of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club. This philosophy surfaces repeatedly as she describes the day-to-day operations of the park. She stresses the sense of community and camaraderie developed by the employees,
volunteers and participants. "Everybody knows your name," she adds, commenting on the safe environment the ski hill promotes. "Parents can drop their fifth-grader off and know they're in good hands."
They intend for the annual scholarship to enhance that feeling shared by local skiers. Last year, 97 people new to skiing
became regular visitors. Those who receive the scholarship volunteer their time more often. In addition, other nearby parks benefit from Chester Bowl, which rents out equipment by the season for their skiers to use at any location they like.
Meyers, who lives near the park, visits frequently with her husband and two daughters. "You can come and ski ten rounds, and you leave feeling great." The expense of skiing can be prohibitive, especially for families with growing children who need new equipment each year. However, through the funds raised at the Fall Festival, people gain full access to the sport without having to worry about the cost. Many families receive a full scholarship, which covers a seasonal ski pass and equipment rental, but others are satisfied with partial subsidization. This allows wider access to the funds, further increasing traffic through the hill. Meyers sees this as a benefit not only to Chester Bowl, but to all the parks in Duluth. Increased use of the parks rouses interest in maintaining them, which makes more people want to volunteer.
Still, she stresses that the purpose of the scholarship isn't the benefit to the parks, the ski hill, or the Chester Bowl Improvement Club. "It's about being a direct benefit to humankind. We're not here for the hill. We're here for the people." The process of applying for the scholarship reflects this intent. The group doesn't delve into financial details, and it doesn't ask for tax forms or proof of debts. Putting their faith into the honesty of the community, the group offers a portion of the scholarship to anyone who feels they need it and asks them for help. While it may not bring in as much money as it gives away, the group never feels like it loses out on anything.
The Fall Festival makes full use of its resources. Local vendors set up shop to sell their art, which includes watercolors, recycled wool, floral arrangements and more. Two musical artists will share the stage, performing throughout the day, but often times, according to Meyers, the informal setting invites audience members to jam with the musicians. The kids can get their faces painted, and community organizations will also pay a small fee for the chance to spread their messages.
All of the proceeds that come from the vendors' fees will go toward the scholarship, and the musicians have offered their services pro bono to help keep costs down. The Chester Bowl Improvement Club also suggests making a $2 donation to help further their cause.
Meyers can't remember when the annual scholarship began but said, "It's easy to envision this has been happening forever." It began with the ski hill's philosophy of not turning anyone away, and has succeeded for many years, even drawing in the out-of-town students from UMD and CSS, who don't receive the scholarship, by word-of-mouth.
The Chester Bowl Improvement Club sponsors a number of activities throughout the year, including the Chester Bowl Adventure Camp for kids, which takes place during the summer, and Martin Luther King Day commemorative events.
Meyers says Chester Bowl is about "tons of fun and laughter and camaraderie among community members."
The Fall Festival takes place on Saturday, September 21st at the Chester Park Ski Hill, and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free, but a $2 donation is suggested. A shuttle bus will run between the site and the fire hall on Junction Ave by UMD during that time.
Looking forward to the festival, Meyers added, "I hope to see you there."

Hi, I am new here so I apologise if this is in the wrong place.
On my PC, I have thirteen GB's of photographs that I wish to store on my iPad. I bought a sixty four GB iPad as I am a photograph/picture addict.
What are good ways to do this?
I would also like to transfer photos from my iPad onto my PC whilst retaining folders I make in my photos on the iPad, so my photos aren't unorganised.

Camp Nou — Barcelona
Referee: V. Kassai
Attendance: 94944
That's all from me for tonight guys and girls. What a game that was! Barcelona march on in the Champions League at the expense of Milan. Good night!
FULL-TIME: BARCELONA 4-0 MILAN (AGG 4-2) The Catalan side put in a sensational performance at Camp Nou to overturn their opponent's two-goal lead from the first leg. Messi scored two sublime goals in the first half before Villa and Alba added further goals after the break. Milan were outclassed for long periods of the game against a Barcelona team in rampant form.
90′ +3
90′ +2
Assist Alexis Sánchez
90′ +2
Goal Jordi Alba
4-0!!! ALBA INCREASES BARCELONA'S LEAD!! The Blaugrana add a fourth goal through their brilliant left-back, Alba. After latching on to a pass from the right inside the Milan box the Spain international took a touch before clipping a finish past Abbiati.

90′ +1
STAT: The last time Barcelona exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage was in 2006/07, against Liverpool.
The fourth official signals for three minutes of added time...
Messi does that, but the ball is pushed into the centre as Constant and Zapata press him which leads to him overrunning the ball and losing possession.
Alves wins a corner for Barcelona off the torso of Constant. I imagine they will play this short...
Messi looks to play a wall-pass off Alexis on the edge of the Milan box but the Chilean is not on the same wavelength and the ball goes straight to Mexes.
Alba is showing his defensive ability as Barca hold out a bit here, he has just put in a vital block on Robinho and then swept the ball away from Bojan. Milan are pushing men forward in search of a goal that would take them through to the quarter-finals!
Substitution Pedro Adriano
Barca make their last change, and it is a defensive one. Adriano is on for Pedro for the final minutes of this game.
BOJAN THREATENS FOR MILAN!! The former Barcelona player has just jinxed his way past Alves and nearly set up a goal there! His driven cross to Robinho was flicked goalwards but never got there thanks to a diving block from Alba.
VITAL CHALLENGE FROM PIQUE!! The Barca centre-back puts in a last-ditch tackle on Robinho just as the Brazilian looked to be in on goal against Valdes. That was timely defending from the former Manchester United man.
THAT IS A CLOSE CALL!! Sanchez sprints clear of the Milan defence and rounds Abbiati but play is pulled back for offside. Replays show Constant very nearly played him on there.
Substitution Javier Mascherano Carles Puyol
GREAT PLAY FROM ALBA!! The left-back marauds forward for Barca and after playing a tidy one-two with Iniesta tries to cross to Messi from the left side of the Milan box. Abate does just enough to stop it reaching Messi though and the ball cannons out for a corner.
Substitution Mathieu Flamini Bojan Krkic
Barcelona make a change. The scorer of their third goal, Villa, is replaced by Alexis Sanchez. Milan also take the opportunity to bring on a fresh face, and it just so happens to be a former Masia player. Bojan Krkic has come on for Flamini.
Substitution David Villa Alexis Sánchez
The Argentina captain's effort goes straight into the wall, and though the rebound falls back to him, his dinked pass runs through to Abbiati.
BARCA FREE KICK!! 25 yards out, just right of centre. Messi territory...
STAT: Milan hold the unwanted record for the biggest first-leg lead squandered in the Champions League era, when their 4-1 advantage in the 2003-04 quarter-finals against Deportivo La Coruna was overturned by a 4-0 defeat in the return leg.
Milan are showing some much-needed urgency now. Abate in particular is troubling Alba and Iniesta with his runs from deep.
GOOD DEFENDING FROM PIQUE!! Milan threaten on the right through Abate and the ball pinballs inside the Barca box before Pique is able to control it under pressure from Flamini and volley it away to safety.
How Robinho would love to get a goal tonight! The Brazilian attacker played against Barcelona many times during his three-year spell at Real Madrid.
Abate does very well to get past Alba on the right and hook a cross into the Barcelona penalty area but none of the right-back's team-mates are quick enough to keep up with him and get on the end of it.
POSSESSION STAT: Barcelona 75%-25% Milan
That amounts to nothing though, as Messi's pass towards Villa eventually finds its way into the grateful arms of Abbiati.
And here's another free kick for Barcelona - this one for a late foul by Muntari on Messi.
Messi hammers the free kick towards the near post but Muntari is there to head it away for Milan.
Constant fouls Villa as the striker drives down the right-hand side and Barcelona have a free kick in a decent position.
Substitution M'Baye Niang Robinho
Substitution Massimo Ambrosini Sulley Muntari
Milan make a couple of changes here as their captain Ambrosini is replaced by Robinho and Sulley Muntari comes on for Niang.
Barcelona continue to hunt for the ball when they don't have it. It has been an exhilarating performance from them so far tonight. They lead on aggregate 3-2.
Back to that goal from Villa though - here's a question for you. Is there a better finisher with their instep than Villa? (Maybe Messi aside)
By the way that booking for Mexes just before Villa's goal means he will miss the quarter-final first leg if Milan get there.
Assist Xavi
Goal David Villa
VILLA SCORES A THIRD FOR BARCELONA!! The Catalan side lead for the first time over the two legs thanks to a brilliant curled finish from Villa. The Spain international took a pass from Xavi in his stride on the right side of the Milan box before cutting on to his left and stroking a shot past Abbiati.

The Spain international took a pass from Xavi in his stride on the right side of the Milan box before cutting on to his left and stroking a shot past Abbiati.
That's naughty from Mexes!! The France international is shown a yellow card after tripping Messi as the Barca No.10 dribbled down the right wing.
Yellow Card Philippe Mexes
Boateng drifts the corner to Mexes on the edge of the box but his volleyed effort flies way off target!
Niang wins a corner over on the right for Milan after the ball flicks off Alba's legs and goes behind.
Messi slides a pass to Villa inside the Milan box but his flicked touch to Pedro is stopped by Constant. The former Valencia man timed his run to stay onside to receive that pass from Messi but then wasted his good work by not retaining possession.
Ambrosini sends Messi flying with a crunching tackle in the centre circle. It prompts a heated exchange between Busquets and Boateng that is eventually dealt with by the referee.
ABBIATI SAVES FROM MESSI! The Barca attacker sprints past the challenges of Mexes and Zapata and looks to arrow a low shot towards the bottom left corner with his left foot but Milan's goalkeeper gets down well to keep it out.
A lovely touch from Boateng sets Niang away on the right but his attempted pass to Flamini is wayward and Alba is able to steal the ball for Barcelona.
Barca get us back underway for the second half at Camp Nou...
@coldfaya has just described Barcelona as "a wounded lion" over on Twitter. They seem to be recovering tonight though!
How many passes have Barcelona completed tonight I hear you cry? The answer: 388. Milan have completed 129.
The score on aggregate is 2-2, which means we would be going to extra time, but I would be very surprised if we were to see no goals in the second half. What do you guys and girls think? Let me know your second half predictions and thoughts on the game so far by writing in the comment box on the right or tweeting @charliefscott.
HALF-TIME: BARCELONA 2-0 MILAN The Blaugrana have cancelled out Milan's lead from the first leg in just 45 minutes at Camp Nou, thanks to two devastating finishes from Lionel Messi. The home team have looked very dangerous going forward in the opening period, but Milan have offered a threat through Stephan El Shaarawy and M'Baye Niang. The latter even struck the post just moments before Messi's second in the 40th minute.
45′ +1
Yellow Card Mathieu Flamini
45′ +1
There is the half-time whistle! Barca lead 2-0 at the break.
Alves loses the ball at right-back for Barcelona but El Shaarawy fails to make the most of that slip and is tackled by Pique who moves across from centre-back to cover his team-mate.
All of Barcelona's outfield players are in Milan's half as we approach half-time. The visitors just cannot get the ball.
Iniesta has been fantastic for the home side tonight. He has looked stifled by Fabregas in recent months, but with the former Gunner on the bench tonight he has more space and is thriving because of it.
Yellow Card Pedro
How costly could that Niang miss be? If that shot had gone in it would have been 1-1, but instead it is 2-0 after Barcelona went straight up the other end and scored through their talismanic Argentine.
Assist Andrés Iniesta Luján
Goal Messi
BARCA SCORE A SECOND!! AND AGAIN IT'S MESSI!! The Argentine makes Niang pay for that miss a few moments ago by rifling a shot into the bottom left corner after cutting in from the right.
BARCA SCORE A SECOND!! AND AGAIN IT'S MESSI!! The Argentine makes Niang pay for that miss a few moments ago by rifling a shot into the bottom left corner after cutting in from the right.
NIANG HITS THE POST FOR MILAN!! The young striker can only watch in agony as his shot cannons back off the left-hand post after he had raced through on goal.
That Alves cross is not good enough! Again Pedro wants a pass on the left and this time his team-mate does try and give it to him. It is a poor attempt to find Pedro at the back post though, and Milan are able to clear the ball away.
STAT: Barcelona have completed over three times as many passes as Milan tonight. Barca 300-97 Milan.
Alves fires a shot wide from 25 yards after space opens up for him. Pedro was screaming for a pass over on the left but the Brazilian full-back ignored him.
MIlan do look dangerous on the break though! They need to move the ball as quickly as possible to El Shaarawy and Niang, as that pair undoubtedly have the pace and trickery to trouble Pique and Mascherano.
Over on Twitter @Xclusivexyz is confident that Milan will hold out and advance to the next round. I'm not so sure... Barca look very threatening tonight.
Niang holds the ball up well for Milan but after he offloads it to Flamini they lose possession following a sloppy pass.
AMBITIOUS FROM EL SHAARAWY!! The Italy international attempted an acrobatic overhead kick on the penalty spot after Boateng lofted a pass to him from the right, but he failed to make a good connection with the ball and Valdes was able to gather it comfortably.
El Shaarawy chases a loose pass towards the Barcelona goal but Valdes is able to sprint from his goal to seize the ball before the Milan forward can get to it.
A foul from Alves on Constant gives Milan a chance to catch their breath momentarily. The visitors are down to 10 men for the time being as Flamini waits to be allowed back on following a change of shirts.
What have you all thought of the game so far? Let me know your thoughts in the comments box to the right or on Twitter at @charliefscott. I think it has been an absolute belting first half!
Milan are seeing a bit more of the ball as the half wears on, but Barcelona are showing great tenacity to close them down all over the pitch.
Messi and Alves link well on the right with the latter of the two eventually chipping a cross towards Pedro in the Milan box. The Masia graduate cannot get high enough to direct the ball at goal though as it glances off his head and out for a goal kick.
That earlier goal from Messi moves him into second place outright on the all-time Champions League goalscorers table. The Rosario-born forward has 57 goals in the competition, with Raul the only man left ahead of him. The former Real Madrid striker scored 71 times in the Champions League.
Yellow Card Kevin-Prince Boateng
Xavi tries to be too clever with the free kick though! The Spain international slides a quick pass towards Messi who is hiding behind the Milan wall but Cristian Zapata reads the play and intercepts it.
Foul on Messi by Massimo Ambrosini! Barca have a free kick 35 yards from goal...
The Blaugrana are playing some sumptuous stuff at the moment. Iniesta, Xavi and Messi have treated the Camp Nou crowd to some magical touches already in this game.
ABBIATI SAVES FROM XAVI!! The 35-year-old produces another great stop to keep the score at 1-0. Xavi's rasping effort from 25 yards was heading for the bottom right corner before Abbiati dived across and flicked the ball round the post.
The home side clear the corner away and launch a counter attack that nearly results in a second goal. Abbiati comes rushing from his line to meet Messi but is caught out as the Argentine pushes the ball round him. Luckily for Abbiati, Mexes is able to recover and steal the ball from his opponent.
Niang wins a corner for Milan on the right. The early signs suggest they will need to make the most of these rare set piece opportunities, particularly as Barcelona are susceptible in that respect.
STAT: Barcelona are on a 19-match unbeaten run at Camp Nou in the Champions League, winning 15, since a 2-1 loss to Rubin Kazan in October 2009.
ABBIATI PULLS OFF A BRILLIANT SAVE! The Milan goalkeeper flies to his right to tip Iniesta's rising half volley onto the crossbar. The Barcelona midfielder struck that superbly, he must have thought that was 2-0.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PENALTY! Pedro is bundled to the floor inside the Milan box as he tries to take Xavi's chipped pass in his stride but again the referee waves away Barcelona's appeals.
It has been a dominant start from the Blaugrana in the opening 11 minutes.
Messi wants a free kick for a handball from Constant high on the right but the linesman and referee fail to spot the infringement. Not sure how the man with the flag missed that one - it was right in front of him.
El Shaarawy has a chance! The Pharaoh breaks through into the Barca box but cannot test Victor Valdes with his shot as the ball runs away from him.
Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique have just shown they are up for it tonight. Both have put in crunching challenges on Boateng and Niang respectively in the last few minutes.
So you know that Messi goals in open play stat I mentioned in the third minute? Emphatically scrap that!
Assist Xavi
Goal Messi
GOALLLLL!!! WHAT A FABULOUS TEAM MOVE FROM BARCELONA!! Messi curls a sublime shot past Christian Abbiati from the edge of the penalty area after playing a fine one-two with Xavi. The home side lead 1-0 after just six minutes!
GOALLLLL!!! WHAT A FABULOUS TEAM MOVE FROM BARCELONA!! Messi curls a sublime shot past Christian Abbiati from the edge of the penalty area after playing a fine one-two with Xavi. The home side lead 1-0 after just six minutes!
Milan cannot keep the ball in the opening minutes here! I don't think they have completed a pass in Barcelona's half yet.
Andres Iniesta tries to carve the Milan defence open with a pass towards David Villa but Philippe Mexes is alert to the danger and steps to his left to intercept the ball.
Time to mention Messi perhaps? The little Argentine has not scored in open play in 790 minutes against Italian opposition in European competition...
The pitch looks glorious tonight! The home side are already stringing some passes together but one move has just been robustly brought to an end by a Kevin Constant tackle on Dani Alves.
We are off! Milan get the game started but quickly surrender possession on the right...
Out come the teams at Camp Nou! Kick-off is imminent in Barcelona...
Can Barcelona turn this game round? It would take a monumental effort! Milan played brilliantly in the first leg in Italy, as they defended superbly against Messi et al and they will go into this match with great confidence as a result of that solid performance.
What do you lot think of those starting XIs? Who do you think will be the standout player this evening? Let me know your thoughts on Twitter at @charliefscott or by posting your comments in the box to the right of this commentary!
MILAN TEAM NEWS: Philippe Mexes and Kevin-Prince Boateng shake off injuries to start for Allegri's side. Boateng joins the athletic pair of Stephan El Shaarawy and M'Baye Niang in attack for the Rossoneri.
BARCA TEAM NEWS: Xavi is back for Barcelona after struggling with a hamstring injury recently, but Carlos Puyol is only on the bench. Javier Mascherano starts in his place at centre-back, while David Villa has pipped Alexis Sanchez and Cristian Tello to a place upfront alongside Lionel Messi and Pedro.
Subs: Amelia, De Sciglio, Bonera, Muntari, Nocerino, Robinho, Bojan
Milan (4-3-3): Abbiati; Abate, Zapata, Mexes, Constant; Flamini, Ambrosini, Montolivo; Niang, Boateng, El Shaarawy
Subs: Pinto, Puyol, Adriano, Song, Cesc, Alexis, Tello
Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdes; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta; Pedro, Messi, Villa
Anyway, that's enough previewing for the time being, how about we run through the starting XIs?
The Catalan side have got something to inspire them that is beyond the realms of a football field though. Their coach Tito Vilanova has been in New York since the start of January receiving treatment for the recurrence of cancer in his parotid gland but earlier this evening Carles Rexach, an adviser to Barcelona's board, told TV3 that Tito would return on March 25.
The Rossoneri won the first leg at San Siro courtesy of goals from Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari, which leaves the pre-tournament favourites Barcelona at the bottom of an imposing mountain ahead of this second leg. It will certainly take something spectacular to get them through to the next round!
My name is Charlie Scott and I am the lucky man trusted with running this commentary for the next couple of hours, as we find out who will progress to the last-eight of Europe's premier club competition. As always I will be available on Twitter throughout the game at @charliefscott.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Let me wish you a warm welcome to Goal.com's LIVE coverage of tonight's HUGE Champions League game between Barcelona and Milan at Camp Nou.

Reverend Sara Marean turned off the car and looked over at the bulky gift bag on the seat beside her. The bag contained a prayer shawl that had been woven by women in her East Congregational Church in Milton. It was beautiful—a soft, navy blue wool that seemed to absorb the early morning sun. When it was finished, every one of the nine women in the group had laid her hands upon the shawl and offered a prayer asking God to help the person for whom it was intended. Does prayer heal?

I think I understand wheel's comment.
Certificates are used for two different things. One is encrypting the data stream to make it impossible to be read by a third party. The other use is to ensure that the website or site-owner is who it/he pretends to be.
In the first situation self-issued certificates work just as good as certificates issued by an authority. In the second situation you need a trusted authority which checks the validity of the submitted website or owner information.
Most certificate errors in browsers come from an authentication matching problem. Either the root authority mentioned in the certificate chain is not recognized by the computer, or the domain the certificate is served from is not in the domain list of the certificate itself. In both cases the authentication of the certificate fails, but the encryption of the data stream is still working.
Many sites only need data stream encryption, not a validation of the website or owner. That is where a self-issued certificate should be allowed.

While Israel is convinced that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, American officials believe Iran has not yet made a final decision to take the plunge and that there is still time for diplomacy.
Iran's talks with world powers over the issue have stalled, however, and Netanyahu argued Thursday that "Iran uses diplomatic negotiations as a means to buy time to advance its nuclear program.''
Israel's timeline for military action is shorter than that of the United States, which has far more powerful bunker-busting bombs at its disposal, and there is great suspicion in Israel over whether in the moment of truth Obama will follow through on his pledge.
"Each day, that point is getting closer. That's why I speak today with such a sense of urgency. And that's why everyone should have a sense of urgency,'' Netanyahu said. "The relevant question is not when Iran will get the bomb. The relevant question is at what stage can we no longer stop Iran from getting the bomb.''
Netanyahu has a history of fiery speeches about Iran before the U.N. General Assembly.
In 2009, he waved the blueprints for the Nazi death camp Auschwitz and invoked the memory of his own family members murdered by the Nazis while making his case against Iran's Holocaust denial and threats to destroy Israel. And last year, he warned about "the specter of nuclear terrorism'' if Iran were not stopped.
While the bulk of Netanyahu's speech dealt with Iran, he also rebuked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who spoke shortly before him to the U.N. General Assembly and accused Israel of ethnic cleansing for building settlements in east Jerusalem.
"We won't solve our conflict with libelous speeches at the U.N.,'' Netanyahu said. "We have to sit together, negotiate together and reach a mutual compromise.''
Israel captured the eastern part of Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Mideast War and later annexed it in a move that hasn't been recognized internationally. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state along with the Gaza Strip and the rest of the West Bank.
In his speech, Abbas also said he had opened talks on a new bid for international recognition at the U.N.
The Palestinians will apply to the General Assembly for nonmember state status, in stark contrast to last year's failed bid to have the Security Council admit them as a full member state.
If Palestine does become a U.N. observer state, it will not have voting rights in the world body but will have international recognition as a "state.'' This could enhance the possibility of the Palestinians joining U.N. agencies and becoming parties to treaties including the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court.
Abbas insisted that the new quest for recognition was "not seeking to delegitimize Israel, but rather establish a state that should be established: Palestine.''

Wonka Pixy Stix Candy Powder Straws: 2500-Piece Case
Pin It
Invented in the 1930s, the sweet treat named "Frutola" began as a deliciously tangy powdered drink mix. However, candy connoisseur J. Fish Smith quickly realized that more often than not, kids were merely eating the tasty mix straight from the package rather than combining it with water. He decided to capitalize on this trend by adding a spoon to each pouch. But by the 1950s, parents were growing annoyed with the messes caused by continuous spilling. So after careful deliberation, a new product was born: the clean and simple Pixy Sticks powder straws!
Now experience the delight of these old time treats… en masse! This giant bulk case is filled with four classic flavors of the delicious powder candy. Rip open a pack of the outrageously beloved straws and pour the sweetly tangy powder onto your tongue to experience a flavorful fruit explosion. Happy snacking!
Assorted Flavors:
Purple - Grape
Blue - Blue Raspberry
Orange - Orange
Red - Cherry
Straw Length:
6 Inches
Case contains 2,500 Wonka Pixy Stix Candy Powder Straws.

City Fitness gets bodies into superlative shape with 7,000 square feet of fully equipped facilities staffed by experienced trainers. With the one-month membership, workers-out have unlimited access to the gym, allowing busy fitness junkies to fit muscle-punishing regimens into packed corporate schedules and unpredictable hours working as gopher-whisperers. The gym itself lures deltoids, gluteals, and trapezoids with all manner of resistance and cardio machines, facilitating weight-loss and muscle gain, and ensuring minimal wait times for machines. Boasting more than 100 years of combined fitness experience, the center's personal trainers, including professional body builders, college athletes, and martial-arts experts, assist health-seekers in crafting a regimen tailored to a wide range of individual fitness goals. In addition to workout guidance, the trainers offer adroit advice on nutrition, lifestyle, and appropriate dress for a morning wedding.
Florida's Gulf Coast is one of the last places one expects to see an igloo. Nevertheless, drivers on I-75 will spot a dome worthy of the Arctic rising as they approach Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex, a 115,000-square-foot facility that houses two NHL-size ice rinks. Visitors coast across the well-maintained surface during public-skating hours, while classes in figure skating and hockey skating teach ice-slicing fundamentals to students unaccustomed to getting out of their dogsled and moving on their own. In addition to ice rinks, the sprawling space contains a 13,500-square-foot indoor soccer-and-football field, a fitness center, a video game room, and space for birthday parties.:m]]
BounceU Sarasota welcomes kids to descend upon an inflatable, climate-controlled playground where they can bounce and ricochet in safety. Along with birthday parties and group outings, BounceU hosts open-bounce sessions that let sock wearers of all ages imagine they're synchronized leapers in a futuristic moon performance as they carom around the inflatable stadium, expending energy with every leap. Adults are welcome to act like 8-year-olds and join the vivacious youngsters in the playground. The inflatable arena also opens its buoyant doors to creative-themed bounce camps and programs, where boys and girls spend half their time with brain-bolstering projects such as creating their own painted masterpieces or learning to reprogram the remote to skip all news channels. After stretching the limits of their imaginations, kids then spend the other half of the day stretching the limits of their limbs on the inflatable playground.
An experienced team of soul-stretching yogis guides bodies into soothing formations with a seven-day schedule of various class styles for all skill levels. Newcomers can reach a state of tranquility typically reserved for Walt Whitman's pet dove during the Slow Flow class, which unites controlled breathing, proper alignment, and meditation techniques in a balanced trifecta of peaceful bliss. Ashtanga Blend sessions throw a spiritual curve ball to shake regular students out of their normal yoga routines, exploring different posture groups during a flowing one-hour practice. Advanced students in the Power Vinyasa class submerse themselves in a sultry labyrinth of creative, challenging techniques, for which strenuous exertion and high-energy muscle movements are the keys to survival. From the moment students arrive at the center's colorful, gated garden, they can immediately hear the soft rippling of fairies holding hoop-dance classes.
When Yvette Bernosky applied for a part-time job at the Sarasota Bath and Racquet Fitness Club, she didn't realize she was taking the first steps toward what would become a 23-year professional career in the fitness industry. Encouraged by her boss, Yvette began to work with clients individually before taking on a role as one of the club's aerobics instructors. She began travelling internationally to participate in fitness programs and events and earned more than 14 fitness and wellness certifications—including qualifications as a personal trainer, fitness camp instructor, and nutritional counselor.Today, the fitness aficionado owns her own private, fully equipped training studio where she helped Miss Florida International get into sashaying shape. Her staff of qualified instructors lead group classes, including outdoor fitness camps and personal training sessions throughout the week. Amidst spinning cycles and whirring cardio machines, fitness-seekers of all ages bustle through boxing classes, TRX training, and total body conditioning classes.To spirit guests away from their stressors and diet-busting triggers, clients can commission personal trainers to accompany them on fitness retreats.
Helmed by Patricia Valenti, a certified personal trainer and Bikini Pro athlete, Evolution Fitness Club helps members sculpt their physiques daily from 6 a.m.–midnight. The club's friendly workout facility teems with opportunities for running, lifting, and pounding one's chest to indicate a dominant social status or demonstrate a new dance move. As their feet trace low-impact circles on an elliptical trainer, exercisers can wrap their minds around a favorite program on a nearby television. Fitness machines overlook Main Street, letting gym-goers wave at friends below or cheer on growing grass from the edge of a cushy bike seat. Infrared saunas invite steam-free sweltering, and hot showers wash away the aftermath.

About Us
Join/Renew Exit
About Dr Philip NitschkeDr Philip Nitschke, PhD, MBBS, BSc (Hons) is the Founder & Director of Exit International.
In 1996, Philip became the the first physician in the world to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection under the short-lived Rights of the Terminally Ill Act of the Northern Territory in 1996.
Four of Philip's terminally ill patients used this law to end their suffering before the law was overturned in March 1997 by the Australian Parliament.
Born in 1947 in rural South Australia, Philip studied physics at the University of Adelaide, completing a PhD at Flinders University in laser physics in 1972. Rejecting a career in the sciences, Philip instead traveled to the Northern Territory to take up work with the Aboriginal land rights activist, Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji at Wave Hill.
After the hand-back of land by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, Philip became a NT Parks & Wildlife ranger. A serious accident to his foot saw Philip return to university, graduating from Sydney University Medical School in 1988.
Philip is the coauthor (with Dr Fiona Stewart) of two books: In July 2008, the print edition of The Peaceful Pill Handbook was listed No. 66 on the Amazon.com global Bestseller List. This same edition is banned in Australia. A censored version of the book was approved for publication in New Zealand in June 2008.
Dr Nitschke is the recipient of:
• Northern Territorian of the Year - 1997
He is a eight-time nominee for Australian of the Year (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) & twice a state finalist (2005 & 2006).
Today, Philip travels widely holding Public Meetings, conducting Exit Workshops (Euthanasia Information Workshops) - which regularly book out months ahead.
First Person:
"When I'm not working I can be found tinkering or out on my old Russian motorbike. It's a Cossack, modeled on the WW II BMWs. I bought it in 1974 from a chap in Alice Springs who had just ridden up from Adelaide. This was in the days before the Stuart Hwy was sealed, so it was corrugates all the way.
I saw him in the main street, sitting in the gutter - his bones jottled through. I went up to him and said 'Wow! A Cossack! I've always wanted one of those'. He said 'it's yours for $400'. And so it was & he just walked away.
A few years later I imported the Russian sidecar from some dealers in Sydney. The bike's been on the road more or less ever since. Today it's my hobby. Most of our holidays over recent years have been undertaken on the bike outback. It's the best type of relaxation and escape.
Andrew Denton - Enough Rope"More than any public figure in Australia, Dr Philip Nitschke divides the room. He has won humanitarian awards and been nominated for Australian of the Year, but you will not find many public figures rushing to be photographed with him. That is because the cause he champions is the most emotional of all, euthanasia, the right to determine how you die." ANDREW DENTON: Please welcome a man who depending on where you stand is either a saint or a ghoul - Dr Philip Nitschke. APPLAUSE |

This game should be a gimme for the Bobcats. They're coming off of 4 days rest and the Knicks' roster should be depleted becue of suspensions that they are surely going to get hit with because of their brawl with Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets.
Another positive that we have going for us is that Knicks are coached by Isiah Thomas, This is one of the rare occasions where we aren't at a distinct coaching disadvantage.
Isiah and Bernie's ineptitude on the bench will likely cancel each other out.
This should be an easy win. Thoughts?
