Tyler is the youngest of the three Creeds and his mother committed suicide, leaving all three boys without the woman who showed them all care and love.†Tyler never really got over the fact that she left without saying goodbye.†He adored his older half-brothers and was hurt the most when they had their big fight following their father, Jake Creed's funeral.†Tyler has been out on the rodeo circuit and did a stint as a movie stunt man, making all the money he would ever need.† He found a woman he thought he could love, only to lose her in a car accident.†The real love of his life, though, was Lily, the daughter of the local veterinarian.†Lily and Tyler were hot and heavy in high school, even though they never made love.†Lily was devastated to learn that Tyler would leave her and go to an older woman who was supposedly teaching him all he needed to know about lovemaking.†
This woman did teach Tyler a lot, but he really did love Lily.†He was just as hurt when they broke up as she was.†Now older, and ready to settle down, Tyler moves back just as Lily returns to care for her father after his heart attack.†Lily has a six-year-old daughter named Tess, who was born during her marriage to an airplane pilot.†Burke was a womanizer and he committed suicide when Lily told him she wanted a divorce.†His mother is rich and powerful and threatens to fight Lily for custody.
Meanwhile, Tyler discovers he might be the father of a 13-year-old rebel.†The boy has tattoos and piercings and his mother, the older woman, states she really doesnít know who his father is, but doesnít rule out that the timing is right for Tyler to be a candidate.†Throw in the need for Tyler to reconcile with his two brothers and one would say he has a full plate.
This is one of the stronger of the three stories, primarily because of the depth given to Lily and Tyler.†Dylan and Logan were good heroes in their stories, but Tyler is both tortured and macho.† He is confused, and yet knows what he wants.†He just isnít sure how he can have what he wants and not have to eat any crow.†Luckily his sulks donít last long and his innate good sense comes through.†
Lily is a match for him.†She had her own heartbreaks and isn't sure Tyler is the answer to her prayers.†But she is drawn to him and finds that she can easily fall back into love with him again.† She is torn between this love and her need to prove herself.†Her struggles felt real and her victory all the sweeter.
This story also does a good job of bringing the three brothers full circle.†All the secrets are revealed, all the hurts are brought into the open and healing is started.†Since this is the third in the series, one will have to read the other two to make any sense of the innuendos about the past.† While Lily and Tyler's story stands on its own, the context in which it is set will not make any sense without the information from the two previous accounts.† I liked how Miller finished this family story, without real villains or heroesÖjust a group of brothers trying to make sense of tragedy and life as they grow and find lives for themselves. †

Students call for end to "archaic" gay blood ban

Fine let the blood stocks deminish then, it is discriminatory and as a gay man in a long term relationship I am sick to the hind teeth with being branded as premiscuous. Ok so one third of new cases are via gay men, this is just providing more public humilation for HIV suffers and those with full blown AIDS. I have been an AIDS buddy in the past and watch someone die from it, yeah just humiliated them more with public shows like this.
Some of the terminology in this article is confusing – you'd think there were no gay or bisexual men among students.
I was planning on giving blood this morning and for some reason was under the impression that gay men could now give blood. I was wrong! I feel absolutely humiliated and dirty. I ONLY practise safe sex, have always been tested regularly and I'm have been in a 100% monogamous relationship for the past 2.5 years. This is more that I can say for a lot of my straight friends. I have a very rare blood group RH AB- (about 1% of the population) and feel that it is my civic duty to donate blood. I can't express how angry I feel that I can't. Maybe I have been lucky but I have never really suffered any form of homophobia. Until today.
I live in the United States, New York State to be specific, and I first heard this and thought it was just our local chapter being homophobic and was incredibly pissed off. I did some research and learned that it was nationwide and endorsed by the FDA (food drug admin.) Now I come across this site and see that it's a WORLD WIDE issue??!?!? That is OUTRAGEOUS!! They claim it is because most cases of HIV are found in MSM, but have they actually compared the attitudes about HIV to straight people? I work for Planned Parethood as a peer educator, and I hear all the time, straight kids who think that it's safer to have unprotected sex with someone who isn't gay. This isn't 1989 anymore. The fastest growing group to be infected with HIV are black and Latina women under the age of 25. Whoever is in charge of this needs to continue to do their research.
This article is rubbish. It shows now evidence of a divide, in fact the vast majority of LGBT students at NUS LGBT Conference voted for the policy.Ofcourse some people have different views about what should replace the ban but this campaign is about getting the ban lifted.Rachel Charman should sort out what is shoddy work or find a new job.

The Georgian language (ქართული [kʰartʰuli] kartuli) is a Kartvelian language spoken by Georgians. It is the official language of Georgia, a country in the Caucasus.
Georgian is written in its own unique writing system, the Georgian alphabet.
Georgian is the literary language for all regional subgroups of Georgians, including those who speak other Kartvelian languages: Svans, Mingrelians and Lazs.

History of Georgia |
Georgian is the most pervasive of the Kartvelian languages, a family that also includes Svan and Megrelian (chiefly spoken in Northwest Georgia) and Laz (chiefly spoken along the Black Sea coast of Turkey, from Melyat, Rize to the Georgian frontier).
Dialects of Georgian are from Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi, Guria, Adjara, Imerkhevi (in Turkey), Kartli, Kakheti, Saingilo (in Azerbaijan), Tusheti, Khevsureti, Khevi, Pshavi, Fereydan, Mtiuleti and Meskheti.
The history of Georgian can conventionally be divided into:
- Early Old Georgian: 4th/5th–8th centuries
- Classical Old Georgian: 9th–11th centuries
- Middle Georgian: 11th/12th–17th/18th centuries
- Modern Georgian: 17th/18th century – present.[2]
Georgian shares a common ancestral language with Svan and Mingrelian/Laz. Georgian as separate from the other Kartvelian languages would have emerged in the 1st millennium BC in Caucasian Iberia. The earliest allusion to spoken Georgian may be a passage of the Roman grammarian Marcus Cornelius Fronto in the 2nd century AD: Fronto imagines the Iberians addressing the emperor Marcus Aurelius in their "incomprehensible tongue".[3]
The evolution of Georgian into a written language was a consequence of the conversion of the Georgian elite to Christianity in the mid-4th century. The new literary language was constructed on an already well-established cultural infrastructure, appropriating the functions, conventions, and status of Aramaic, the literary language of pagan Georgia, and the new national religion.[2] The first Georgian texts are inscriptions and palimpsests dating to the 5th century. Georgian has a rich literary tradition. The oldest surviving literary work in Georgian is the "Martyrdom of the Holy Queen Shushanik" (Georgian: წამებაჲ წმიდისა შუშანიკისი დედოფლისაჲ, Tsamebay tsmidisa Shushanikisi dedoplisay) by Iakob Tsurtaveli, from the 5th century AD.
In the 11th century, Old Georgian gives rise to Middle Georgian, the literary language of the medieval kingdom of Georgia. The Georgian national epic, "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" (Georgian: ვეფხისტყაოსანი, Vepkhistqaosani), by Shota Rustaveli, dates from the 12th century.
In 1629, the Alphabetum ibericum, sive georgianum: cum Oratione ("Iberian or Georgian Alphabet with Prayers") became "one of the first two books printed in Georgian using moveable type".[4] This marks the beginning of what is considered the Modern Georgian language.

- Opinions differ on how to classify /x/ and /ɣ/; Aronson (1990) classifies them as post-velar, Hewitt (1995) argues that they range from velar to uvular according to context, and many other scholars[who?] treat the phonemes as purely velar. Opinions also differ on the aspiration of /t͡s, t͡ʃ/.
Some consonant phones with letters in the extended Georgian alphabet, but which are not phonemes of Georgian, are [qʰ] ჴ, [ɢ] ჹ, and [f] ჶ.

Prosody in Georgian involves stress, intonation, and rhythm. Stress is very weak, and linguists disagree as to where stress occurs in words.[8] Jun, Vicenik, and Lofstedt have proposed that Georgian stress and intonation are the result of pitch accents on the first syllable of a word and near the end of a phrase.[9] The rhythm of Georgian speech is syllable-timed.[citation needed]
Georgian contains many "harmonic clusters" involving two consonants of a similar type (voiced, aspirated, or ejective) which are pronounced with only a single release; e.g., ბგერა bgera (sound), ცხოვრება cxovreba (life), and წყალი c'q'ali (water).[10] There are also frequent consonant clusters, sometimes involving more than six consonants in a row, as may be seen in words like გვფრცქვნი gvprckvni ("You peel us") and მწვრთნელი mc'vrtneli ("trainer").
Vicenik has observed that Georgian vowels following ejective stops have creaky voice and suggests this may be one cue distinguishing ejectives from their aspirated and voiced counterparts.[11]
Writing system
Georgian has been written in a variety of scripts over its history. Currently one, mkhedruli (military), is almost completely dominant; the others are mostly of interest to scholars reading historical documents.
Mkhedruli has 33 letters in common use; a half dozen more are obsolete. The letters of mkhedruli correspond closely to the phonemes of the Georgian language.
According to the traditional account written down by Leonti Mroveli in the 11th century, the first Georgian script was created by the first king of Caucasian Iberia, Pharnavaz, in the 3rd century BC. However, the first examples of a Georgian script date from the 5th century AD. There are now three Georgian scripts, called asomtavruli (capitals), nuskhuri (small letters), and mkhedruli. The first two are used together as upper and lower case in the writings of the Georgian Orthodox Church, and together are called khutsuri (priests' [alphabet]).
In mkhedruli, there is no case. Sometimes, however, a capital-like effect, called mtavruli ('title' or 'heading'), is achieved by modifying the letters so that their vertical sizes are identical and they rest on the baseline with no descenders. These capital-like letters are often used in page headings, chapter titles, monumental inscriptions, and the like.
- Georgian is an agglutinative language. There are certain prefixes and suffixes that are joined together in order to build a verb. In some cases, there can be up to 8 different morphemes in one verb at the same time. An example can be ageshenebinat ("you (pl) had built"). The verb can be broken down to parts: a-g-e-shen-eb-in-a-t. Each morpheme here contributes to the meaning of the verb tense or the person who has performed the verb. The verb conjugation also exhibits polypersonalism; a verb may potentially include morphemes representing both the subject and the object.
- In Georgian morphophonology, syncope is a common phenomenon. When a suffix (especially the plural suffix -eb-) is attached to a word which has either of the vowels a or e in the last syllable, this vowel is, in most words, lost. For example, megobari means "friend". To say "friends", one says, megobØrebi (megobrebi), with the loss of a in the last syllable of the word root.
- Georgian has seven noun cases: nominative, ergative, dative, genitive, instrumental, adverbial and vocative. An interesting feature of Georgian is that, while the subject of a sentence is generally in the nominative case, and the object is in the accusative case (or dative), in Georgian, one can find this reversed in many situations (this depends mainly on the character of the verb). This is called the dative construction. In the past tense of the transitive verbs, and in the present tense of the verb "to know", the subject is in the ergative case.
- Georgian is a left-branching language, in which adjectives precede nouns, possessors precede possessions, objects normally precede verbs, and postpositions are used instead of prepositions.
- Each postposition (whether a suffix or a separate word) requires the modified noun to be in a specific case. (This is similar to the way prepositions govern specific cases in many Indo-European languages such as German, Latin, or Russian.)
- Georgian is a pro-drop language: both subject and object pronouns are frequently omitted except for emphasis or to resolve ambiguity.
- A study by Skopeteas et al. concluded that Georgian word order tends to place the focus of a sentence immediately before the verb, and the topic before the focus. A subject–object–verb (SOV) word order is common in idiomatic expressions and when the focus of a sentence is on the object. A subject–verb–object (SVO) word order is common when the focus is on the subject, or in longer sentences. Object-initial word orders (OSV or OVS) are also possible, but less common. Verb-initial word orders including both subject and object (VSO or VOS) are extremely rare.[12]
- Georgian has no grammatical gender; even the pronouns are gender-neutral.
- Georgian has no articles. Therefore, for example, "guest", "a guest" and "the guest" are said in the same way. In relative clauses, however, it is possible to establish the meaning of the definite article through use of some particles[citation needed].
Georgian has a rich word-derivation system. By using a root, and adding some definite prefixes and suffixes, one can derive many nouns and adjectives from the root. For example, from the root -kartv-, the following words can be derived: Kartveli (a Georgian person), Kartuli (the Georgian language) and Sakartvelo (Georgia).
Most Georgian surnames end in -dze ("son") (Western Georgia), -shvili ("child") (Eastern Georgia), -ia (Western Georgia, Samegrelo), -ani (Western Georgia, Svaneti), -uri (Eastern Georgia), etc. The ending -eli is a particle of nobility, equivalent to French de, German von or Polish -ski.
Georgian has a vigesimal number system, based on the counting system of 20, like Basque or French. In order to express a number greater than 20 and less than 100, first the number of 20s in the number is stated and the remaining number is added. For example, 93 is expressed as ოთხმოცდაცამეტი - otkh-m-ots-da-tsamet'i (lit. four-times-twenty-and-thirteen).
One of the most important Georgian dictionaries is the Explanatory dictionary of the Georgian language (Georgian: ქართული ენის განმარტებითი ლექსიკონი). It consists of 8 volumes and about 115 thousand words. It had been producing since 1950 until 1964, by a team of linguists under the direction of Arnold Chikobava.
Word formations
Georgian has a word derivation system, which allows the derivation of nouns from verb roots both with prefixes and suffixes. For example:
- From the root -ts'er- ("write"), the words ts'erili ("letter") and mts'erali ("writer") are derived.
- From the root -tsa- ("give"), the word gadatsema ("broadcast") is derived.
- From the root -tsda- ("try"), the word gamotsda ("exam") is derived.
- From the root -gav- ("resemble"), the words msgavsi ("similar") and msgavseba ("similarity") are derived.
- From the root -šen- ("build"), the word šenoba ("building") is derived.
- From the root -tskh- ("bake"), the word namtskhvari ("cake") is derived.
- From the root -tsiv- ("cold"), the word matsivari ("refrigerator") is derived.
- From the root -pr- ("fly"), the words tvitmprinavi ("plane") and aprena ("take-off") are derived.
It is also possible to derive verbs from nouns:
- From the noun -omi- ("war"), the verb omob ("wage war") is derived.
- From the noun -sadili- ("lunch"), the verb sadilob ("eat lunch") is derived.
- From the noun -sauzme ("breakfast"), the verb ts'asauzmeba ("eat a little breakfast") is derived; the preverb ts'a- in Georgian could add the meaning "VERBing a little".
- From the noun -sakhli- ("home"), the verb gadasakhleba (the infinite form of the verb "to relocate, to move") is derived.
Likewise, verbs can be derived from adjectives:
- From the adjective -ts'iteli- ("red"), the verb gats'itleba (the infinite form of both "to blush" and "to make one blush") is derived. This kind of derivation can be done with many adjectives in Georgian. Other examples can be:
- From the adjective -brma ("blind"), the verbs dabrmaveba (the infinite form of both "to become blind" and "to blind someone") are derived.
- From the adjective -lamazi- ("beautiful"), the verb galamazeba (the infinite form of the verb "to become beautiful") is derived.
Words that begin with multiple consonants
In Georgian many nouns and adjectives begin with two or more contiguous consonants.
- Some linguists[who?] assert that almost half of the words in Georgian begin with double consonants. This is because most syllables in the language begin with certain two consonants. Some examples of words that begin with double consonants are:
- There are also many words that begin with three contiguous consonants:
- თქვენ, (tkven), "you (plural)"
- მწვანე, (mts'vane), "green"
- ცხვირი, (tskhviri), "nose"
- ტკბილი, (t'k'bili), "sweet"
- მტკივნეული, (mt'k'ivneuli), "painful"
- ჩრდილოეთი, (črdiloeti), "north"
- There are also a few words in Georgian that begin with four contiguous consonants. Examples are:
- მკვლელი, (mk'vleli), "murderer"
- მკვდარი, (mk'vdari), "dead"
- მთვრალი, (mtvrali), "drunk"
- მწკრივი; (mts'k'rivi), "row"
- There can also be some extreme cases in Georgian. For example, the following word begins with six contiguous consonants:
- მწვრთნელი, (mts'vrtneli), "trainer"
- And the following words begin with eight consonants:
- გვფრცქვნი (gvprtskvni), "you peel us"
- გვბრდღვნი (gvbrdgvni), "you tear us"
Language example
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Georgian:
ყველა ადამიანი იბადება თავისუფალი და თანასწორი თავისი ღირსებითა და უფლებებით. მათ მინიჭებული აქვთ გონება და სინდისი და ერთმანეთის მიმართ უნდა იქცეოდნენ ძმობის სულისკვეთებით.
- Transliteration:
Kvela adamiani ibadeba tavisupali da tanastsori tavisi ghirsebita da uplebebit. Mat minichebuli akvt goneba da sindisi da ertmanetis mimart unda iktseodnen dzmobis suliskvetebit.
- Translation:
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.[13]

NSA job post for 'Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer' goes live

Some of the potentially more ironic phrases:
The candidate "rapidly adapts to...unexpected obstacles," "deals effectively with pressure; remains optimistic and persistent, even under adversity," "complies with established control systems and rules," and "perceives organizational...reality and acts accordingly."The NSA surveillance scandal is no joke, of course.

Unfortunately, in most cases the server will still need to be maintained to make sure that everything is working as expected, to ensure that the web server is always up, and much more. A large part of this job can be automated, which will save time. It will also increase the uptime of the server, since automated processes generally work faster than manual ones.

Chemical spill at Vancouver high school, 1 arrest
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 11:47pm  ET
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A chemical spill at Skyview High School in Vancouver, Wash., sent two adults and seven students to a hospital to be checked after they experienced trouble breathing. One student has been arrested.
Vancouver Public Schools spokeswoman Pat Mattison told The Columbian ( http://is.gd/8uJqkj) that a fire department hazmat crew cleaned up a mixture of bleach and ammonia Thursday in a classroom. Mattison said a student brought the mixture and was showing it to another student when it spilled on the floor. Mixing bleach and ammonia can produce toxic fumes.
Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Fred Neiman says detectives arrested a 14-year-old freshman student for investigation of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. The student was taken to juvenile detention. Neiman says no one else is being sought.
Hospital staffers say all nine people brought in for observation were later discharged.

Nokia beats rivals to steamy Britney video hotspot
What can we say? Money talks and bullsh|t walks, to quote Spinal Tap. Nokia's capacious pockets... er... compelling technology has beaten out the likes of Samsung and Apple to get its newest touchscreen phone a prime appearance in Britney Spears' latest raunchy pop promo. Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe. …
Finally a phone worth talking about!
After all those nonsensical articles about Windos Mobile and iPhones - they are phones, for fuck sake - there's one that deserves everybody's attention.
This is my first question about the touch thingie: does the guy holding it in the video already have a husband? Cause I'd sort of offer myself, if he's reading.
Failing that, I would settle for Britney, if she's reading. ( I am not one for equal opportunities but I would make an exception for her... )
a britney video ...
and you're talking about a phone?!
personally i didnt even notice the phone but certainly noticed britney ...
"compelling technology has beaten out the likes of..."
Why don't you just switch your primary address to theregister.com, post a story swearing allegiance to the flag every morning, up your oil usage four or five fold and be done with it?
re. Finally a phone.......
Proof, if any were needed, that watching Britney videos can scramble your brain.
I'm looking forward to reading about car accidents resulting from people steering with their foot while engaged in distracting activities on the back seat. Yes, I did say 'looking forward to..'
(The voice-over introduction warned that some of the images would not be suitable for some viewers, so I suppose that's the health and safety obligations taken care of).
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic -- Connecting Womanizers!
Mr Womanizer's Nokia is locked (see key icon) but still it responds to thumbpresses. It's also offline or has no SIM card in (see X in top left).
Product placement
In recent times Britney has continuously been "accidentally" caught wearing no knickers in numerous paparrazi upskirt shots.
Given this, I'm surprised the advertisers weren't more imaginative about choice of product placement. It would make a nice change to see a phone, rather than what Britney usually has on display there.
And perhaps a chance to show-off the vibrate mode?
We're sorry, this video is ....
.... no longer available.
Hillarious. Nor is the Nokia (in the UK). And that suits me just fine. Britney and this abomination belong together, in the oblivion they deserve.
Apple iPhone beater? Nothing at all to see here. Move along please.

Reference | EN 62209-2:2010 |
Title | Human exposure to radio frequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices - Human models, instrumentation, and procedures - Part 2: Procedure to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR) for wireless communication devices used in close proximity to the human body (frequency range of 30 MHz to 6 GHz) |
Project Number | 22065 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 62209-2:2010 is applicable to any wireless communication device capable of transmitting electromagnetic fields (EMF) intended to be used at a position near the human body, in the manner described by the manufacturer, with the radiating part(s) of the device at distances up to and including 200 mm from a human body, i.e. when held in the hand or in front of the face, mounted on the body, combined with other transmitting or non-transmitting devices or accessories (e.g. belt-clip, camera or Bluetooth add-on), or embedded in garments. For transmitters used in close proximity to the human ear, the procedures of IEC 62209-1:2005 are applicable. IEC 62209-2:2010 is applicable for radio frequency exposure in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 6 GHz, and may be used to measure simultaneous exposures from multiple radio sources used in close proximity to human body. Definitions and evaluation procedures are provided for the following general categories of device types: - body-mounted, - body-supported, - desktop, - front-of-face, - hand-held, - laptop, - limb-mounted, - multi-band, - push-to-talk, - clothing-integrated. The types of devices considered include but are not limited to mobile telephones, cordless microphones, auxiliary broadcast devices and radio transmitters in personal computers. IEC 62209-2:2010 gives guidelines for a reproducible and conservative measurement methodology for determining the compliance of wireless devices with the SAR limits. |

Hybrid Diesels?
larsb Posts: 8,204Diesel plus hybrid equals 70+mpg
link title
The latest diesel-powered cars offered in Europe come close to - and in a lot of cases beat - hybrid-electric cars like Toyota's Prius in the mileage stakes, so imagine what would happen if you combined the best of both technologies. France's Peugeot hopes to do just that and by becoming the first carmaker to launch a diesel-electric hybrid by the end of the decade.
The recently launched midsize Peugeot 308 hatch will be the first vehicle fitted with the new powertrain, but it's likely other models will soon follow suit if it proves to be successful.
The Peugeot diesel hybrid should average better than 70mpg (58.3mpg US), which would mean its emissions levels would be lower than most other cars except for pure electric vehicles. By comparison, the Prius rates 65.7mpg (54.7mpg US). However, most motoring mags have found its real-world fuel economy ratings to be much lower.
The only factor holding back the release of the hybrid 308 is the high cost of the batteries and electric motor, but engineers are working hard to make the technology more affordable.

Tips on saving gas, from UPS drivers
With gas continuing its steep climb to currently $3.91 cents, motorists looking to save may want to take a cue from delivery drivers.
UPS drivers clock 79,000 miles a day in the District alone, and they have a few secrets to saving at the pump.
Part of the science behind saving money on gas involves the left-turn lane – or rather, avoiding it. UPS drivers evade it as much as possible because you have to stop and wait.
"When you are making a left hand turn that's idling," said UPS engineer Jennifer Braud.
Of course, it's not so easy to plan a trip without any left turns. Special technology helps UPS drivers map routes with as many right-hand turns as possible.
One trick you can follow without taking apart the GPS: Check your tire pressure. If the wheels are losing air, the car is lower to the ground. That makes it less aerodynamic, which drives up gas use.
For the same reason, washing your car can also save fuel. "It actually makes your car more aerodynamic," Braud said.
Once the light turns green, go easy on the gas. The men and women in brown are taught not to gun it. "If you have that jackrabbit start that is really wasting a lot of gas," Braud explains.

These shoes are 2 sizes too small! I am usually between a 7-7.5, so I bought the 7. It felt like squeezing my feet into 5.5 or small 6's. If the panels of the shoe don't touch when you tie the ribbon (because the width may be too small), it looks really ugly because the bow becomes really short. The shape of the shoe is cute, but the shoe feels really hard and tough, like it would take a LONG time to break into (if possible). I'll return this at the store and maybe reconsider ordering a 9. Maybe it would look more like the posted image if it actually fit.

A. Sherrod Blakely: @SherrodbCSN: #Celticstalk: The #Celtics are expected to announce soon that Shavlik Randolph and D.J. White will be re-signed. Twitter
D.J. White and Shavlik Randolph were on the team flight here Saturday, a strong indication that the Celtics will re-sign them to 10-day contracts. White's initial 10-day contract was set to expire at midnight Saturday and Randolph's is set to expire at midnight Sunday. Boston Globe
White is clearly hoping his tenure with the C's can continue -- and all indications are he'll be sticking around, including the fact that he traveled with the team on Saturday -- but right now his interest might extend past simply wanting to play for a potential Eastern Conference contender. The Celtics' next two matchups are with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Charlotte Bobcats -- White's two former NBA teams. ESPN.com
Peter Stringer: D.J. White is officially a member of the Celtics. He just spoke with the media and will practice today. He'll wear No. 12. Twitter @celtics
With the arrival of a clearance letter from the Chinese Basketball Association on Wednesday, the Boston Celtics will sign free agent forward D.J. White to a 10-day contract, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. White will likely be activated for the Celtics' Friday game against Golden State. Yahoo! Sports
Adrian Wojnarowski: After forward D.J. White's letter of clearance finally arrived from China, he'll sign with Celtics in next 24 hours, sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
D.J. White is still waiting for his release from Shanghai of the Chinese Basketball Association, and as a result the forward will spend another night in street clothes in the Celtics locker room - this time as his future teammates play Utah. "They're shut down on weekends – there's just a lot of paperwork to do," Danny Ainge said of China. It just takes a few days. I don't know when he'll be done with it – tomorrow is my guess. You strategically sign 10-day contracts. If he can't play tonight, we'll sign him on Wednesday or Thursday." Boston Herald
Steve Bulpett: Celts PR says DJ White is here in Portland at shootaround, but unavailable to media until his paperwork goes through. Twitter @SteveBHoop
Paperwork still had to be finalized yesterday on White, with an outside chance he could join the Celtics starting today on a 10-day contract. White, who had split five years in the NBA between Oklahoma City and Charlotte, most recently played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association. As of yesterday, the CBA was still processing his release. Boston Herald
D.J. White, a young NBA journeyman who has played for Charlotte and Oklahoma City, and whose season for Shanghai of the Chinese League just ended, is set to sign with the Celtics once his paperwork clears. "We're hoping," Rivers said of the forward, who may join the team as soon as Sunday in Portland or Monday in Utah. Boston Herald
Rivers hasn't given much thought, yet, to how White would fit in. "I just (go into the locker room) and say, He's here when it gets done," said Rivers. "We pretty much think it's a done deal, but it's never done until it's done. I didn't know a lot about him. He was in Oklahoma City, Charlotte. We went over three or four guys, and this is one of those things where you listen to Danny (Ainge) and Austin (Ainge). They give you their opinion. I told them what I need, but I also said whatever they thought was the best player. Two weeks ago when (Jared Sullinger) went down, I said we're just looking for whatever they think is the best player. Boston Herald

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
May Sarton was born Eléanore Marie Sarton, the daughter of George Sarton, an eminent philosopher and author of a four-volume history of science, and Mabel Sarton, an artist and designer. Because she was born on May 3, she was called May. In 1916, her parents emigrated from Belgium to the United States because of the events of World War I. The Sartons settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where George taught part time at Harvard University.
May was a precocious child; she wrote poetry from the age of nine, and some of her poems were published when she was seventeen. She attended an innovative high school in Cambridge known as Shady Hill School. Her future path was set: She would attend Vassar College and then marry a prominent man. After seeing the renowned actress Eva La Gallienne star in Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler (pb. 1890, pr. 1891; English translation, 1891) in 1928, however, Sarton became devoted to the theater. She became a member of the Civic Repertory Theater in New York City, then the founder and director of her own theater company in New York City from 1933 to 1935. Although her company failed, partly as a result of the Depression, she found a new direction in her life when she drew upon one of her many strengths and reinvented herself as a writer.
Sarton's first book was a collection of poems, Encounter in April (1937), which explored themes related to the differences between physical passion and love. In order to support her career as a writer, she began a cycle of almost forty years devoted to teaching, lecturing, and reading from her works. She taught creative writing, was a poet-in-residence, and lectured at several colleges and universities over the next forty years, including Harvard University and Bryn Mawr College, and the prestigious Bread Loaf Writer's Conference. At her death, she was the author of more than fifty books—novels, books of poetry, nonfiction works—including her journals, children's books, essays, and other writings.
Her first novel, The Single Hound, was published in 1938,...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
May Sarton's public and private lives were not separate and distinct, as is the case for most writers and celebrities. Through a lifetime of writing memoirs, journals, novels, and poems, Sarton shared the details of her childhood, her relationships to her parents, significant friendships, love affairs, and aspects of her daily living in the context of a solitary life. She triumphed as a writer because she maintained freshness and originality and avoided repeating narrow formulas. In her journals, she strove to discern a synthesis of her overall experience by devoting herself to a rigorous examination of what all of her moods and experiences meant to her on a particular day, as well as in the larger context of her life's work. Readers—particularly women—have identified with her struggles to adapt to a life of solitude. In effect, she distilled the meaning of her own life through her writings and uncovered universal themes for her readers.
Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
May Sarton was born Eléanore Marie Sarton in Wondelgem, Belgium, on May 3, 1912. Her mother, Mabel Elwes Sarton, a designer who worked at Maison Dangette, Brussels, was a determined craftsperson and an uncompromising seeker of high standards. Her father, George Sarton, pampered by his Belgian upper-middle-class family after losing his mother early, was an active socialist who did mathematical studies at the University of Brussels before settling into his life's work as a major historian of science; he founded the leading journal in the field, Isis, in 1912. He was a methodical scholar who even after his day's scholarly labors would make notes in the evening concerning recent research by other scholars. May's mother compromised her talents for her husband's career, but her gift of "refashioning things magically" inspired her daughter's own verbal artistry.
One close friend of Sarton's mother was Céline Dangotte Limbosch, or Mamie, whose home near Brussels Sarton has recalled as the one place in the world that would not change and whose traits appear in the heroine of The Bridge of Years. Mamie's husband, Raumond Limbosch, a poet who never published his poems, also figures in that novel as a philosopher.
Sarton's earliest years were spent in Belgium, but with the coming of World War I, the family fled to England. In 1915, the Sartons went to the United States, staying briefly in New York before settling in Washington, D.C., where the Carnegie Institute gave support to George Sarton's projected history of science. Mabel Sarton founded Belgart, specializing in handmade fashion apparel. Sarton's father's somewhat informal appointment at Harvard University led the family to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1918. There, young Sarton attended Shady Hill School, a Spartan institution run by an educational innovator, Mrs. Hocking, wife of a well-known philosopher, who combined the study of philosophy with poetry. Miss Edgett, an imaginative math teacher, inspired Sarton to be a poet, but Sarton also received encouragement from a family friend in Cambridge, Edith Forbes Kennedy. Kennedy was the inspiration for a character, Willa MacPherson, in Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing, whose friendship and encouragement push young Hilary Stevens along on her poetic career. School plays also awakened Sarton's interest in drama.
In 1919, the family briefly returned to settle their affairs in Belgium. For a short time, Sarton attended the Institute Belge de Culture Française, which she later attended for a year at age twelve. The institute was presided over by Marie Closset, who published poetry as Jean Dominique, and two other women. Literature was taught from great works, and memorization was required. Sarton spent that year with the Limbosches while her parents were in Beirut, Lebanon, so that her father could learn Arabic for his research. The literary atmosphere and general culture that she encountered there influenced Sarton greatly.
A 1926 graduate of Cambridge Latin High School, Sarton recalled...

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
May Sarton was the daughter of a Belgian historian of science and an English artist and designer. The family left Belgium for England when World War I broke out, and moved to the United States in 1918. An individualist from an early age, Sarton did not go to college, instead becoming an actress, and later founding the Apprentice Theater. Afterward, Sarton traveled frequently between Europe and the United States for several years. Her first published book, Encounter in April (1937), a collection of poetry, established two of her major themes: love and individualism.
Sarton was a lesbian, a fact she publicly acknowledged in the mid-1960's. Most of her novels have female protagonists, but the major themes are universal, touching the feelings of men and heterosexual women as well as lesbians. Sarton considered herself to be a poet first and published eighteen collections of poetry as well as nineteen novels. A citizen of the United States since 1924, Sarton's strongest poetic influences were European, including Rainer Maria Rilke and William Butler Yeats.
Sarton's most devoted following has come from her fourteen works of nonfiction, primarily journals and memoirs. In these personal writings, beginning with I Knew a Phoenix (1959) and ending with Encore: A Journal of the Eightieth Year (1993), Sarton deals with the need for love and the pain of its loss, the difficulties of being a writer, her many friends and acquaintances (famous and unknown), her self-imposed isolation, and aging and failing health. Sarton believed her journals show "an art of living, how to do it alone. That I'm proud of, and I think it has helped a lot of people." Nevertheless, "if you really want to reach the inner Sarton, read the novels." In a 1979 interview, Sarton defined her appeal by stating "the deeper you go into the personal . . . the more you hit the universal." Poems she has written from what she thought was a unique vantage point have led readers to tell her that she had exactly described what they experienced in their own lives.
Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: American Poets)
May Sarton was born Eléanore Marie Sarton to Eleanor Mabel Elwes and George Sarton, who had met in Ghent, Belgium, during the early 1900's, while she was an art student and he a promising young scientist-scholar. In 1910 they married, and in 1912 their only daughter, May, was born, during the same spring that George Sarton founded the scientific journal Isis. That her father connected his daughter's birth with that of his publication is evident from her account in I Knew a Phoenix of the dedication of one of George Sarton's scientific works to his wife: "Eleanor Mabel, mother of those strange twins, May and Isis."
At the outbreak of World War I,Sarton's father decided that he could no...

► Activity of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase is restricted by SIRPα ► This involves SIRP-CD47 interactions and signaling through the SIRPα immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs ► SIRPα signaling represses expression of the catalytic NADPH oxidase subunit gp91phox
The phagocyte NADPH oxidase mediates oxidative microbial killing in granulocytes and macrophages. However, because the reactive oxygen species produced by the NADPH oxidase can also be toxic to the host, it is essential to control its activity. Little is known about the endogenous mechanism(s) that limits NADPH oxidase activity. Here, we demonstrate that the myeloid-inhibitory receptor SIRPα acts as a negative regulator of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. Phagocytes isolated from SIRPα mutant mice were shown to have an enhanced respiratory burst. Furthermore, overexpression of SIRPα in human myeloid cells prevented respiratory burst activation. The inhibitory effect required interactions between SIRPα and its natural ligand, CD47, as well as signaling through the SIRPα cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs. Suppression of the respiratory burst by SIRPα was caused by a selective repression of gp91phox expression, the catalytic component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Thus, SIRPα can limit gp91phox expression during myeloid development, thereby controlling the magnitude of the respiratory burst in phagocytes.

12:00 p.m. MST: Ah, good to be back at INVESCO Field after an off week. It's football time again in Broncos Country. It's a warm day in Denver — right now Weather.com says it's 71 degrees, and the high could get up to 75 — so it's no surprise that it looks like more players than normal are out on the field warming up a little early. It's nice out there.
Brandon Marshall is on the field in his trademark pajama bottoms, and Jay Cutler is throwing passes to a few receivers — Brandon Stokley just ran a quick post route.
12:05 p.m. MST: There's a lot of orange on the field — mostly hats and gloves, but players from both teams are sporting the bright color during warm-ups. I feel like I'm at a University of Tennessee game. Or Texas, whichever UT you prefer.
12:08 p.m. MST: Just saw a happy couple — one was wearing a Ronnie Brown jersey and the other donning D.J. Williams' No. 55. I wonder if they planned to portray one of the more crucial matchups for this afternoon — those two could run into each other on the field quite a bit today.
12:10 p.m. MST: Kenny Peterson said earlier this week that it's a copycat league, and he expects more and more teams to begin catching on to the "Wildcat" formation that has made headlines in Miami this season. Kansas City is proving him right — they've run the two-running-backs-in-the-backfield-and-a-quarterback-out-wide formation a few times, and one play started in that formation, turned into a reverse, then turned into a wide receiver pass to quarterback Tyler Thigpen, who was streaking wide open down the field for a touchdown. Speaking of which, did anybody else see a 21-3 KC lead over Tampa Bay coming?
12:13 p.m. MST: I'll go down in a couple minutes to get some pictures from the field. Jake Grilley's already down there diligently snapping some photos.
12:51 p.m. MST: Just got the inactives for today's game. Champ Bailey, Tim Crowder, Vernon Fox, Chad Jackson, Glenn Martinez, Tony Scheffler, Josh Shaw and Selvin Young will sit out of this afternoon's contest.
A couple of depth chart updates for today's game to go along with it — Peyton Hillis will start at fullback for Spencer Larsen, Michael Pittman will start at running back for Selvin Young and Karl Paymah will start at left cornerback for Champ Bailey.
I'm about to post the photos from the field. It is definitely warm out there.
1:04 p.m. MST: About an hour until kickoff. Here are the shots from the field.
1:37 p.m. MST: The team just huddled up and now the players are leaving the field. The cheerleaders are all in the Broncos bench area and music is pumping through the speakers — game time is creeping up.
1:57 p.m. MST: The offense is being introduced as the team runs onto the field. Jay Cutler is the last to be introduced to a loud ovation, and he met Brandon Marshall in midair halfway down the line of cheerleaders. Now some of the players are sprinting into the endzone, and Nate Webster just hyped up the crowd. Now they're on the sideline for the National Anthem.
2:01 p.m. MST: After a fly-over by some F-15s, the captains are headed out to midfield for the coin toss. See you in the first quarter blog.

NEW DELHI — India performed its first test firing of the submarine-launched variant of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile on March 20.
The missile took off vertically from a submerged platform off the coast of Visakhapatnam in southern India, followed a predetermined trajectory and achieved its full range of 290 km (180 mi.), according to program officials.
"Following a pre-defined trajectory, the missile emerged from underwater [and] took a turn toward the designated target, meeting all mission objectives. All the telemetry and tracking stations, including Indian naval ships positioned throughout the flight path, confirmed the pinpoint accuracy of the mission," a BrahMos official says.
This test marks the first time any supersonic cruise missile has been launched vertically from a submerged platform.

Sivathanu Pillai, CEO and managing director of BrahMos Aerospace, says the "BrahMos missile is fully ready for [integration with] P75 (I) of [the] Indian navy in [the] vertical launch configuration, which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platforms in the world."
A joint project by India and Russia, the BrahMos missile can carry a conventional warhead of up to 300 kg. (660 lb.) It has a top speed of Mach 2.8, about three times faster than the subsonic U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile.
The BrahMos can be launched from submarines, ships and aircraft. Ship- and ground-launched versions of the missile have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian army and navy.
"The naval variant of the missile has already proved its mettle in both vertical and inclined launch configurations from moving warships," the official says. "The missile has been successfully inducted in a number of frontline Indian navy warships and will be deployed in other future surface ships. They are capable of both maritime strike and land attack."
The BrahMos test comes close on the heels of India's secretive K-15 subsurface-launched missile test in January.

1 3/4 cups water
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 pound thin asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1 inch
1 1/2 cups English cucumber - peeled, seeded and chopped
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill weed
4 heads butter lettuce
My husband loved this - yum! I ommited the cucumbers, and used a spicy, seedy mustard and it was excellent.
Fairly good but quite mustardy. I would reduce the mustard next time I made the recipe.

Excellent recipe! Salad was refreshing. I especially liked the range of textures. Will definitely add to my permanent recipe box.
Delicous! Made this with Jasmine rice. Used 1 Tbsp Dijon and 2 Tsbp sugar. Also added diced tomatoes and corn for more veggies. Served with baked Tilapia. Great side dish for a BBQ and Summer Salad for the HOT months ahead!
This was really a great salad to make for Easter. Very fresh!
Nice change for a salad and a different idea for using asparagus. I served it on each dinner plate on a couple Bibb lettuce leaves rather than lining the serving bowl with lettuce. The dressing was flavorful but could easily have been doubled and would have been better. Fresh dill is a key. It is nice that this recipe can be prepared in advance and refrigerated while working on the rest of the meal preparation.
This was a great recipe...I was originally just looking to make the typical "cucumbers and onion in sugar, vinegar dressing", but when I saw this, knew it would be great over a bed of baby greens. I had to doctor it up bit since I didn't have a dijon mustard, I just used yellow mustard. I also cut the amount of oil and added some basalmic vinegar in addition to the white wine variety. However, the basalmic gave it kinda of a funky color, so I added some fat-free sour cream, and turned it into a creamy dressing with lovely yellow color -- will definitely make again!
this was a great addition to Easter dinner. easy , tasty and well received. I did add more oil and vinegar to cut the mustard a little. (my family is into lite flavor)
