Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

The UFC on FUEL TV 5: "Struve vs. Miocic" event today (Sept. 29, 2012) in Nottingham, England, featured John Hathaway's return to the Octagon to battle John Maguire in a welterweight battle of two Englishman hoping to impress in their home country.
Hathaway came in riding a two fight winning streak while Maguire hadn't lost in his last seven fights, including his first two under the Zuffa banner. That didn't stop him from being the biggest underdog on the entire card.
The two spent the first round exchanging punches, which played to Hathaway's strengths. Maguire's so-called "gypsie jiu-jitsu" skills were nowhere to be found in the opening frame, mostly because he didn't even bother to attempt a takedown until the final 20 seconds.
Advantage after one: Hathaway.
Although the second round saw plenty of mat action, Maguire spent the majority of it on his back with Hathaway pounding away at him in his full guard. It was boring and lacked appeal to the masses but an effective way to achieve victory.
Advantage after two: Hathaway.
Guess how the third went? Well, most of it saw the two exchange punches without urgency, an odd strategy for Maguire, seeing as he was down two rounds to zero. He finally bothered to put his foot on the gas with about a minute remaining with a takedown and working from on top but by then, it was too little too late.
Advantage after three: Hathaway.
Fight: Hathaway.

Port Description
Where You're Docked
All ships anchor in Belize City harbor and passengers are whizzed from ship to shore via speedy Belizean tenders; it takes around 20 minutes to tender ashore. All passengers disembark at docks in Belize's Tourism Village.
Staying in Touch
The "Click & Sip" Internet Cafe is located inside the Belize Tourism Village.
Where to Eat and Drink
The Smoky Mermaid (13 Cork Street, open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 6:30am - 10 pm). Menu features fabulous lobster and fresh fish dishes.
Four Fort Street (Monday - Saturday, 7 - 10am, 11am - 2pm, and 205:30pm - 10pm). A great place to soak up local atmosphere and enjoy native cuisine.
What to See and Do
Diving and Snorkeling: Number one on the hit parade of favorite outdoor activities due to the astounding sites along the barrier reef. Some of the best dive sites lie just off Ambergris Caye. Charter operators listed on the Belize Tourism's Web site also offer day trips that include transportation. However you get to Ambergris Caye, head for the main town of San Pedro, where many of the dive operators are clustered. A favorite snorkeling area is known as "Shark Ray Alley" (one hour by speedboat from San Pedro) where it's possible to get "up close and personal" (petting is permitted) with nurse sharks and sting rays. Hol Chan Marine Reserve is a five square mile underground water park.
Mayan Heritage: Among the best of Belize's Mayan sites is Altun Ha, a heavily excavated site that is a convenient day trip out of the city. Once a major trading and ceremonial center, it consists of several impressive temples and tombs highlighted by the Temple of the Masonry Altars. Another important site is Xunantunich, located near the Guatemalan border that can only be reached by crossing the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry. Situated here are six major plazas ringed by more than 2205 temples and palaces; largest of the remaining temples is Il Castilo which is worth climbing for the spectacular panoramic view one gets from the top.
Wildlife Lovers: Belize City's three major sites containing wild creatures are all located fairly close together. Those who would rather not venture very far from the city can check out the Belize City Zoo and Tropical Center (Western Highway mile marker 29, open from 8am to 205pm daily). A little farther out is the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (Western Highway mile marker 30.8) and the Community Baboon Sanctuary (across the street), which is home to a substantial number of black howler monkeys.
Birders: Belize is a birder's delight as it is home to more than 20500 different species from toucans to egrets. Two highly recommended ways to encounter bird life is on a guided boat trip to the Bird Caye Bird Sanctuary and/or a visit to the aforementioned Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary.
Getting Around
Taxis are readily available at the Tourism Village as well as in the city and at hotels. Taxis do not have meters and although most drivers charge a standard fare, make sure you determine the fare before getting in so as to avoid being burned upon arriving at your destination. There are also water taxis and ferries that depart from the Marine Terminal to the outlying cayes, including the larger resort cayes such as Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. A trip from Belize City to San Pedro, the largest town on Ambergris Caye, takes around 80 minutes and costs $4205 round-trip.
Do It Yourself Driving: It's also possible to rent a car although this is not recommended due to the poor condition of many roads.
Flights: Tropic Air; 800-422-343205 and Maya Island Air; 800-22205-6732 both offer a regular schedule of flights from Belize City to Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Flights to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye leave approximately every 90 minutes until 205pm and take just 20 minutes; cost is $94 round-trip. These are indeed "very small" planes with some carrying a maximum of five passengers and the pilot.

Every story has a villain. Whether it is a children's fairy tale or a Shakespearean tragedy, the villain plays a prominent role. In this NHL lockout, there are no shortages of villains. In fact this lockout is full of villains, with no heroes to be seen to save the season. With knaves aplenty, some stand out more than others. Here are the top 10 bad guys, of the NHL lockout.
1. Jeremy Jacobs
The owner of the Boston Bruins, Jacobs is a despicable, disgusting, deplorable human being. He is the one of the lowest life forms on earth. Jacobs is the leader of the negotiating committee for the owners, and has presided over the lockouts in 1994-95 and in 2004-05 in which the entire season was wiped out. Jacobs has been known to treat players like dirt, and is proud of that. He is a penny-pincher to the nth degree, which has included ripping off employees and investors of the club. Former Bruins coach and outspoken TV commentator Don Cherry remembers Jacobs as a very rich man who makes his millions of the blood and sweat of others. Every proposal that the NHL has presented to the players, has been drafted by Jacobs. He is basically controlling every move in this lockout. One theory has that Jacobs sold his soul to the devil, in order for the Bruins to win the Stanley Cup in 2011. But how can one sell his soul to himself?
2. Gary Bettman
We all know about the commissioner's track record. 3 work stoppages in 20 years. There is no doubt that Bettman is a villain in this mess. Whether it be his condescending attitude towards every proposal the NHLPA sends his way, or the arrogant tone of one of his news conferences, Bettman acts like he's better than everyone else, and only he knows what is best for the game. Let us not forget that Bettman is technically an owner. The NHL still owns the Phoenix Coyotes and Bettman is overseeing that franchise. Can we say conflict of interest? Let us not forget the PR battle the NHL has tried to wage. Bettman and his cronies hired Frank Luntz, a well-known spin doctor for the Republican party, to help them with the public relations battle they were losing. Bettman is the classic lawyer. He always talks in legalese terms that the general public won't understand, just to make himself look smart. The truth about Gary Bettman is simple. He's only the lookout for himself, damn the consequences. All he wants is the big win. If that means sacrificing another NHL season, just to get the deal he wants, he'll do it. Shameful behaviour. Classic villain.
3. Donald Fehr
The NHLPA isn't innocent in this fight either. The players, led by Fehr have come across as spoiled brats, who are only interested in monetary gains, instead of playing the game they love. It is also been perceived that the players are far more interested in winning the PR battle, than trying to negotiate a deal. Fehr is a master at public relations, and is terrific in this area going back to 1994. Baseball fans can certainly attest to that. Fehr led the players to strike that forced the cancellation of the 1994 World Series. It took many years for baseball to recover from that loss, and in some ways, they have not recovered. Fehr spent most of that work stoppage talking up the media, rather than trying to negotiate a deal, to salvage the World Series. Flash forward to present time and Fehr is using the exact same tactics he did in 1994. In fact, Fehr's reputation as a dealmaker is completely false. It took the US Supreme Court to strike down a notion by the owners to use replacement players at the start of the 1995 Major League Baseball season, Fehr said strike over and the players returned to their original deal. In 2002, the players threatened to go on strike again. This time the fans rebelled, and then US President George W. Bush made an ultimatum to the players. Go on strike and I'll bust your union. The players relented and the strike was averted. The only way Fehr negotiates is when a gun is pointed to his head. In fact, Fehr had a chance to begin negotiations as early as last January. He declined, saying that he needed more time to learn the process. What a bunch of nonsense. He's just as much of a villain as Bettman is.
4. Allan Walsh
Player agent and Twitter whore. Walsh had been adept at using social media to get his propaganda across. While some things he says are accurate, most of the time, Walsh is spewing hatred and spin against the owners and his support for Fehr and the NHLPA. The problem is Walsh can dish it out, but he can't take it. He blocks people who make a dissenting voice, no matter how rational. Walsh spends far too much time on social media, arguing with the likes of Darren Dreger of TSN or Damien Cox of the Toronto Star, instead of trying to help his client in resolving the lockout. To me, Walsh is using this lockout to further his profile as an agent. He's trying too hard to be the next Drew Rosenhaus or Scott Boras. That makes him a villain.
5. Daryl Katz
If slimeball was an entry in Webster's dictionary, a picture of the owner of the Edmonton Oilers would be right beside it. There is no other way to describe this blockhead. How else can you explain Katz's "surprise" visit to Seattle, while negotiations with Edmonton City Council broke down, over a new arena deal. While a lockout continues to deprive fans of hockey, Katz is out there, gallivanting to the Pacific Northwest, where they just signed a deal to build a brand new arena. Let's not forget the Oilers are in the top half of revenue generators in the NHL. Greedy? Indeed. Katz might be wise to lay off on the "business trips" and focus on trying to negotiate a deal with the players.
6. Ed Snider
To be honest, the longtime owner of the Philadelphia Flyers has been rather quiet during this lockout. I know, there is a gag order to prevent owners from speaking out, but that has never stopped Snider from voicing his opinion. However, he hasn't been present at some negotiating sessions this time, which is a surprise. Still, there is no doubt Snider is a villain in this lockout. However, no one takes more pride in being a villain than Snider. His Broad Street Bully teams of the 1970s raised havoc and terrorized opponents. Meanwhile, his cutthroat business dealings told everyone, he was in charge. Just before the lockout, Snider and the Flyers offered Nashville defenceman Shea Weber a 12 year $94 million offer sheet. Then, after the Predators match the offer, Snider goes off saying that contracts are too long and we, the owners are paying too much. Slightly hypocritical if you ask me. It also doesn't help Snider that he looks like a hitman for the mafia. Yes, Snider is a classic villain. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
7. Craig Leopold
If you want to talk hypocritical, look no further than the Minnesota Wild owner. When Leopold owned the Nashville Predators, he constantly complained about escalating salaries. However, after Leopold sold the Predators, and subsequently purchased the Wild, Leopold suddenly found himself with some cash to spend. So what does he do? When the free agency period opened on July 1, Leopold spent money like a Hollywood starlet on Rodeo Drive. Leopold signed Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to 12 year $90 million deals. Yet Leopold is one of the leaders of the lockout, proclaiming yet again, salaries have escalated, and are too long. Really? And who do you think is responsible for that Mr. Leopold? The nerve of some of these people.
8. Charles Wang
The owner of the Brooklyn Islanders…I mean the New York Islanders, Wang's timing of announcing the franchise moving from Long Island to Brooklyn is rather curious. I admit his arena deal at the dilapidated Nassau County Coliseum was horrible. And yes, the Islanders desperately needed a new arena. But why announce the move while there is a lockout going on? Do you know something Mr. Wang that we don't? Do you think this will increase hockey related revenue? And was this done to speed up the negotiation process? Either way, the timing of the move is very fishy. If players are locked out, then owner can't negotiate franchise relocations.
9. The Media
OK, so technically not a person. But a group of people. And yes, I'm putting them in all in one group. Don't get me wrong, there have been some terrific reporting by individual members of the media. However, they have also teased and tantalized their readers and viewers with headlines like the following. DEAL ALMOST DONE! BIG WEEK IN NEGOTIATIONS! BACK AT THE BARGAINING TABLE! CLOCK IS TICKING! I have one for you. JUST STOP! Yes, you're just doing your job reporting the news of the day. Yes, the tedium of the lockout is difficult. Yes, we all want hockey back. But, the coverage the media, especially the Canadian media gives this lockout is absurd. And since when did sportswriters become accountants? This lockout has given every sportswriter with a calculator, a chance to add up the numbers, and play with monopoly money, while trying to divide over $3 billion dollars in revenue. They all think they could have the lockout solved with a single column. Well, it doesn't work that way. So just stop and stick to reporting facts. There's a reason why you're sportswriters and not accountants. Stick to writing.
10. The Fans
Really? The Fans? Absolutely! In fact, we, the fans deserve quite a bit of blame for this lockout. Why you may ask? First let's go back to 2005. When the NHL resumed play in October of that year, after a season long lockout, fans came back in droves, crying tears of joy that their precious, beloved game had returned to them. It was like long-lost lovers reunited, and it was so romantic indeed. The NHL promised it would never do such a horrible thing again, even taking the time to splash out a lovely "Thank You Fans" message at all arenas. This, even after the NHL reneged on their promise to reduce season ticket prices. In fact, ticket prices have gone up 39% since 2005. Yet the fans continued to spend their money and buy tickets and merchandise, lighting up cash registers in arenas across North America. Unlike baseball fans, who made the owners and players know how they felt after the cancellation 0f the 1994 World Series, with empty seats and low television ratings, hockey fans filled arenas and TV ratings soared. Canadian hockey fans are really guilty here. The game took off to ridiculous levels as both CBC and TSN saw their ratings climb to huge heights. The sport was so popular, Winnipeg got a team again. And fans there, (myself included) bought tickets and merchandise like a drunk buying rounds at last call. We couldn't get enough. The owners think they can afford another lockout because they think the fans will come back again. Sadly they're probably right. Need proof? The last proposal the NHL made to the players wasn't to get a deal done. It was made to see the fans reaction to the deal. The fans reacted with excitement and giddiness. The fans reaction, emboldened Bettman and his evil band of owners to prolong the lockout, when they refused the players counter proposal faster than a Ferrari on the Autobahn. So fans, please quit with your tweets of "I Want Hockey Back" or "Please get a deal done NHL and NHLPA." Or "I Miss You NHL." All those tweets are doing is telling the owners, you're coming back, ready to put more money into their pockets once hockey resumes. It is the wrong message to send. It is time for the fans to take a step back and chill out. No more protests or fan rallies saying end the lockout now. Take a break from the NHL. Watch junior hockey. Get involved with another sport. Find another passion outside of sport even. Send the owners and players a message. Tell them you don't miss them and you don't need them. It would be the right message to send. And yes, I'm a fan, so I will take blame for this lockout as well. I'm just as much responsible as everyone else. It is time for everyone to look in the mirror.

When asked what he would like students to know about him, Dr. James Dufek, professor of Mass Communication, said, "I love my wife and I love my children." He also gave this advice, "Never underestimate the value of hard work." These two quotes say a lot about a hard-working and family-oriented man.
Dr. Dufek graduated from Mt. Marty College in Yankton, S. D., in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in business administration/mass communication and a minor in theology. Two years later, he received his master's degree in radio/television/film and minored in theatre production at the University of South Dakota. In 1992, he earned his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois-Carbondale (SIU) majoring in journalism/mass communication with a minor in television.
When Dufek was a graduate assistant at the University of South Dakota, he taught a freshmen media class. When he completed his degree, he was offered the opportunity to teach the class full time. When Dufek later was invited to teach at Southeast, he says "The job just seemed to fit." He has been teaching at Southeast for 25 years. He traditionally teaches classes in television directing, video production, converging media and mass communication and society. Being so heavily involved in the media field means his classroom style is somewhat different. Students say he is relaxed in the classroom and intense in the control room, which goes well with his philosophy of "Talk some, work a lot."
Dr. Dufek's main hobby is baking bread from scratch, his specialty being cinnamon and caramel rolls. He also enjoys reading and his favorite book is "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee, which he says is the greatest book ever. He also enjoyed "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. His dream vacation would be a return visit to County Clare, Ireland, the homeland of his maternal grandfather and family.
Dufek says, "I'd move there tomorrow if my wife would let me!" He says he does plan to go to Europe next and visit Spain, Italy and France.
With his nose to the grindstone and his heart with his family, Jim Dufek teaches students who have the same fascination with media that he had when he was in school. He says he will continue to mold the students into the generation's next great directors and producers. Even if we are not in the media field, we should remember his words of advice, "Never underestimate the value of hard work."

How did you fund your study abroad experience?
I funded my study abroad experience mainly with financial aid and the International Programs Global Scholarship. I was able to apply my federal and state financial aid to my program. My mom also shelled out a decent amount.
What is one piece of advice you would pass on to a student who is about to study abroad?
Live with locals if possible. I lived with 10 other Americans and wasn't forced to socialize as much as I should have with the locals. I imagine that living with locals would be especially helpful for students studying a language while abroad.

After receiving an injection of Avastin, Lucentis or Triessence for your retinal condition, you may notice string-like strands floating in your eye. These are called "floaters" and usually diasappear within 7 to 10 days. Alternativelty, perfectly round floaters in the lower visual field are usually air bubbles that will disappear in 24 to 48 hours. Your vision may be blurry for the first 3-5 days post injection. Your eye may be red for 2-3 weeks post injection.

Kona Domination: Oakley Shines at Ironman World Championship in Hawaii
It's a fact. The most elite triathletes on the Planet rely on Oakley technology on the course. Exhibit O: Yet another epic Ironman World Championship in Kona – where Oakley Team Star Craig "Crowie" Alexander shattered the World Record by finishing in an astonishing 8:03:56. All while Chrissie Wellington, finding redemption from a disappointing 2010 and rough start to the year, powered through to victory from behind with an 8:55:08 performance of her own. But Oakley's presence definitely isn't ever limited to racking up Ironman Title after Ironman Title. The O has been a more-than-prominent part of the mix at Kona for the better part of the decade. And it started with one man. Greg Welch.
History Made: Craig Alexander Shatters Ironman World Championship Kona Course Record, Tallies Third Hawaiian Crown in Epic Fashion
Craig Alexander was already a beast prior to the 2011 Ironman World Championship in Kona. Now you can mark that down…officially. The previous two-time World Champion added yet another glorious crown to his collection. But this wasn't just another title…if winning such a coveted and challenging race was ever considered ordinary. This time, he shattered Luc Van Lierde's 1996 Kona course record, finishing in an astonishing 8 hours, 3 minutes, 56 seconds. Even as he suffered through some cramping through the grueling final stretch of the race.
Fourth's the Sweetest: Chrissie Wellington Claims Glorious Ironman World Championship Title in Kona From Behind
It was all but over at the Ironman World Championship in Kona for Chrissie Wellington. Oakley's elite team Triathlete exited the water close to 10 minutes behind then-leader and fellow O team standout Julie Dibens. But every media personality, industry insider and die-hard fan had a common thought in the back of their minds. When Chrissie is on the course, don't ever count her out. And they were right. Big time. Displaying just why she's considered one of the premiere endurance athletes, Chrissy charged hard on the bike and blazed on the run to edge out defending Champion and fellow O athlete Mirinda Carfrae by less than three minutes, finishing in 8:55:08 for her fourth coveted Ironman World Championship Title.
T-Minus 3 Days: Oakley's Ironman Kona Athletes Gear Up for the Planet's Premiere Endurance Event
The premiere – and most most intensely challenging – endurance sports event on the Planet is upon us. Indeed, Ironman World Championships in Kona are less than three days away. And at the Oakley Athlete Safe House in Keauhou Bay – a splendidly tucked away property consisting of several mini-houses, picturesque scenery and its own dock on the water – the 'calm before the storm' is literally the feeling floating around in the salty air. Former Ironman World Champion and current Oakley Triathlon Manager, Greg Welch, a maestro of sorts during the week of the revered competition every year, is busy showing extra care for the elite athletes walking in and out of the house in the days leading up to the race (on top of serving as "The Voice" of Ironman Kona for countless official functions and the live web and telecasts). Yes there are pep talks. Sure, there are pleasantries. But the most important part of each athlete's visit to the Safe House is, of course, their gear selection.

Full Day FuelJuly 27th, 2013
Juice: beet, pineapple, carrot, apple: great per-hydration and good for boosting your glycogen before starting.
Proanox Biogenesis: THE best anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory product that I've found! I've found this stuff really pays dividends for day after day training or extended alpine climbs.
Fish Oil capsules: another great anti-oxidant/inflammatory. I take as many as I can get down.
Drink Mix: Skratch Labs; it's easy on the stomach when you're going all out & is great tasting.
Bumble Bars: a perfect REAL food snack bar. I much prefer these to other so called "energy bars."
Waffle sandwich: Belgian waffle, jam, cream cheese & a piece of prosciutto. This is a good blend of easily digested carbs (from the waffle & jam) a bit of protein (cream cheese), salt & flavor (prosciutto). I LOVE these & they're easy to make.
If its a bit longer day, to this I'll add a few energy gels, though I try to stick to real foods as much as I can.

Vietnam War Hero Scheduled to Speak During Team's "Operation: Hire Our Guard" Program Sunday
BALTIMORE, Maryland (August 30, 2013) – Panther Racing is proud to be joined by Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Brian Thacker during the IndyCar Series Grand Prix of Baltimore weekend. Thacker is scheduled to speak during the team's "Operation: Hire Our Guard" program in the team's hospitality unit Sunday at noon and will also be recognized on the IndyCar pre-race stage prior to the start of the 75-lap event.
"It's hard for all of us at Panther to express how humbled we are every time we're fortunate enough to have a Medal of Honor recipient in our presence," Panther team owner John Barnes said. "When we heard to story of how First Lieutenant Thacker earned the Medal of Honor, I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the room. He's an amazing man who's done remarkable things serving our country, and we're happy he's going to be part of our 'Hire Our Guard' program this weekend."
First Lieutenant Thacker received the Medal of Honor in 1973 for 'conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the rest of his life above and beyond the call of duty'. It was during the Vietnam War in 1971 that Thacker and his men came under heavy fire from the enemy, which caused several casualties within the group. Two helicopters that attempted to evacuate them were shot down before they could land, leaving Thacker and his men in a precarious situation.
While still under fire, he organized and directed the withdraw of the friendly forces, while volunteering to remain inside the perimeter alone to provide covering fire. Then, in an effort to give his comrades more time to escape, he called in artillery fire on his own position to help buy more time for friendly forces to escape. Thacker was wounded during the battle and unable to escape himself, but eluded enemy forces by hiding in a bamboo thicket. He was unable to come out of hiding until friendly forces regained control of the base eight days later.
First Lieutenant Thacker will speak during the "Operation: Hire Our Guard" program in Panther's hospitality unit Sunday at noon. Media are invited to attend.
What is "Operation: Hire Our Guard":
"Operation: Hire Our Guard" is a Panther Racing initiative to raise awareness and educate business leaders around the country about the increasing unemployment crisis facing our National Guard, with the ultimate goal of making the connections necessary between the military and business leaders to secure quality employment for National Guard Soldiers. Unemployment is the No. 1 issue facing returning and demobilizing National Guard members and their families. Overall unemployment is 13% - as high as 30% for Veterans between 18-30 – and, in total, there are currently 65,000 unemployed National Guard members.
Last year Panther's events provided Veterans exposure to approximately 9,300 job opportunities, and based on a conservative approach, potentially over 4,300 Guardsmen have been employed as a result of our program. Earlier this year Panther owner John Barnes was asked to testify in front of a Congressional hearing on lowering the unemployment rate amongst the National Guard and Reserve about the success of the program.

The IndyCar Series will travel directly to Baltimore for next Sunday's Baltimore Grand Prix, which will be broadcast live on NBC Sports Network on August 30th at 2 pm (EST) with additional coverage provided by the IMS Radio Network, XM/Sirius Channel 211.

UNLV is still on track for a showdown with San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference Tournament. After the Aztecs got a buzzer-beater to advance earlier on Thursday, the Rebels cruised to a 56-48 win over Wyoming after a huge first half.
Visit SI.com's scoreboard for all the scores from the 2012 MWC Tournament
The Rebels held a 28-11 lead at halftime, and caused the Cowboys all sorts of misery in the first period. While Wyoming rallied to make things more interesting in the second half, the outcome of this game was never really in doubt after the break, and Mike Moser's typically fantastic night (22 points, 14 rebounds) had a lot to do with that.
Wyoming's Leonard Washington had 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Luke Martinez added 11 points and nine rebounds.
For updates and coverage, stay tuned to this StoryStream. For more on the MWC Tournament, be sure to visit SB Nation's Mountain West Connection.

Motown the Musical Will Get September Workshop Prior to Early 2013 Broadway Debut
By Adam Hetrick
The Broadway-bound production of Motown, a new musical tracing the life and career of music mogul Berry Gordy, will get a fall workshop prior to an early winter 2013 Broadway arrival, according to a casting notice.
Charles Randolph-Wright will direct Motown, which will be studded with songs made famous by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five.
Gordy, who also authored the book to Motown, is producing the musical along with Tony winner Kevin McCollum (Rent, In the Heights, Avenue Q) and Sony Music CEO Doug Morris. Ethan Popp (Rock of Ages, Glory Days) will serve as musical supervisor.
The creators will hold a Sept. 10-30 developmental lab, prior to a mid-January 2013 start date. Motown is aiming to open on Broadway in mid-March.
A casting search is currently underway for a young actor to portray young versions of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, as well as Gordy himself.
The musical promises "a gripping story about the protégés and stars of a uniquely talented musical family who, under Berry Gordy's guidance, began as 'the Sound of Young America' and went on to become some of the greatest superstars of all time."

To put it simply, pregnancy is packed with opportunities for embarrassment. Here's how to deal when the blush-inducing moments strike.
[Scenario 1] You're in the middle of a weekly staff meeting when the urge to purge strikes … and you only make it as far as the door.
How to deal: Vomit is possibly one of the most unpleasant aspects of pregnancy—nobody likes to throw up, and it's even worse when there's an audience. Most people really are sympathetic to pregnancy sickness and won't hold it against you. (If you haven't announced your pregnancy yet, this may be a good time to spill the beans.) All you can do is apologize, clean up the mess if your office doesn't have a janitor, and hope it doesn't happen again—though you may want to start carrying around a handful of paper bags in case it does.
[Scenario 2] You lose control of your bladder, and you aren't the only witness to the event.
How to deal: Try really, really hard not to sneeze in public while you're pregnant, because doing so has caused an accident in more than one pair of pants. There's a legitimate reason, of course (your bladder is being squashed by your growing child!), but unfortunately, that doesn't make it any less embarrassing. If you have an extra layer of clothing handy, tie it around your waist. It's better to be seen in a less-than-flattering tank top than with a wet behind. And if you can't hide it, maybe those nearby will just think that your water broke—equally embarrassing, yes, but completely beyond your control.
[Scenario 3] You're strolling happily along the sidewalk and, next thing you know, you're on the ground.
How to deal: Expectant mothers have notoriously bad balance and coordination. If you're visibly pregnant, everyone will be extra worried about you, so just take a moment to make sure you're fine and thank your fellow citizens for their concern. Not only is taking a tumble while expecting embarrassing, it's pretty scary too. Your baby is well-protected by the fluid surrounding him, but it's always a good idea to inform your doctor if you've fallen hard, just to be on the safe side. Mend your boo-boos with bandages and your pride with chocolate ice cream. Rest assured, your ability to walk normally will return in the not-too-distant future.
[Scenario 4] You burst into tears when the girl behind the pharmacy counter is rude to you.
Nothing makes someone more uncomfortable than a crying woman, particularly a crying pregnant woman, so said rude girl probably learned an important lesson. You might also consider—and I say this as gently as possible—that maybe she wasn't as rude as you thought. (Sometimes pregnancy hormones tend to exaggerate things.) Regardless, don't sweat it. Pregnant women cry—a lot. And it's OK. Dry your tears, wipe your sniffles, and continue about your day. One word of caution: You'll probably find yourself crying again for no reason postpartum, and that's completely normal too. I promise, you'll be back to your old self soon enough.
[Scenario 5] Was that a trumpet? Nope, just another expectant mom letting one rip.
Pregnancy gas often sounds and smells horrendous, and sadly it can't always be controlled. I happen to have an incredible sense of humor about this sort of thing—a not-so-great habit I've passed on to my children—but my friend Alexis found it humiliating. "I kept farting and farting at work, and it smelled terribly—everybody knew it was me, but nobody was brave enough to say anything. I wanted to die." Gas happens. Try your best to spare your peers the discomfort as much as possible, and find some humor in those times you can't. Or maybe just blame it on someone else; that's always a good option too.

June 27: Disaster next door
By JERUSALEM POST READERS
06/26/2012 23:07
US President Barack Obama had to know that the vacuum created in Egypt by the Arab Spring would eventually be filled by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Photo: Thinkstock/Imagebank
Disaster next door
Sir, – With regard to "Islamist Morsy declared Egyptian president" (June 25), US President Barack Obama had to know that the vacuum created in Egypt by the Arab Spring would eventually be filled by the Muslim Brotherhood, a virulent anti-Semitic organization whose stated goal is the eradication of Israel and the Jewish people.
The position of the Obama administration is "we can work with them." Long-standing friendship, cooperation and common cause between the US and Israel are evaporating due to the actions of this administration.
Silver Spring, Maryland
Sir, – "Israel appreciates the democratic process in Egypt and respects the results of the presidential elections," read a statement the Prime Minister's Office issued after the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate emerged victorious ("Israel hopes for continued cooperation with Cairo," June 25).
I can't help wondering what "continued cooperation" they are talking about. It surely can't be the fact that infiltrators and terrorists are allowed to cross the Sinai into Israel and the gas supply is constantly interrupted.
As Yaakov Katz points out on the same page in "Security on the Sinai front" (Analysis), if Morsy gives the military an order to move a division to the Sinai for training, it would be in violation of the peace treaty – but would Israel go to war? Probably not, because we don't do that.
It's just like the promises we made to take back the guns we gave to Arafat if he used them against us, and the promises we made that if rockets were fired from Gaza we would throw Hamas out and take the area back. They remained just words.
Tell us about them
Sir, – Thank you for giving us facts about the wonderful athletes who are going to represent Israel in London during the Olympic Games ("Introducing Israel's Olympians," Sports, June 25). I hope you will do the same for our even more wonderful participants in the Paralympics games.
Tel Mond
Explain yourself
Sir, – In his latest piece ("Stupid, seditious or suicidal?," Into the Fray, June 22), Martin Sherman hits out in all directions.
He castigates the Israeli Left as imbecilic or iniquitous, the Israeli Right as impotent or insincere, and the rest of those who disagree with him, including Dennis Ross and Peter Beinart, as Arab-appeasers and Muslim-mollifiers, to say nothing of his current favored term of abuse: "two-staters."
This doesn't leave all that many to endorse his favored recipe for the future.
He does not expound upon this recipe in his latest piece, but those who follow his lucid, rational and sometimes brilliant but essentially impractical and politically naïve arguments week by week will know that he is all for his version of the one-state solution – in short, an Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria.
The inevitable consequence of such a move on world opinion, not that any Israeli government in its right mind would contemplate it, would be to confirm for Israel the status so ardently desired by its worst enemies – a pariah state.
It seems to me that Sherman, justifiably in many ways, sees a future Middle East through the prism of copper-bottomed, guaranteed security for Israel. But he discounts all other considerations.
Most of the rest of the uncommitted world, while not dissenting from that objective, sees a future Middle East as containing a sovereign Palestinian state.
How to achieve the one without forfeiting the other is the political conundrum that has to be cracked.
Beit Shemesh
Sir, – I read Martin Sherman's columns and think he is a pretty smart guy. What I can't figure out is how he thinks we can move ahead to our one-state Jewish status with all these fertile and breeding Palestinians on our backs? Does Sherman really believe we can pay them to move to a nearby Arab country? Maybe when the Messiah comes, but not at this stage, when they are being injected with fanatical love for their dear fictional baladi (nativism or homeland).
Yes, I, too, would love to see population transfer, which was okay in other places in the world but would probably cause World War III if we did it. But come on, Sherman, let's have some workable ideas and not pipe dreams.
MRIs and Sheba
Sir, – In "Litzman calls out unnamed hospitals for alleged 'black market' in MRI scanner use" (June 20), health editor Judy Siegel-Itzkovich quotes anonymous "senior medical administrators" to the effect that the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer is using unlicensed MRI machines (heaven forfend, for the benefit of its patients).
This is simply not true, as a simple check of Health Ministry records would have ascertained.
Sheba operates five top-of-the-line MRIs, fully licensed by the Health Ministry (license numbers 2004: 10, 14, 149, 171 and 182).
The Sheba Medical Center is the largest, most comprehensive and technologically-advanced medical center in the Middle East and abides by all government regulations and international standards of safety and scientific excellence.
The article also impugns the good name of Sheba director Prof. Zeev Rotstein by alleging that he "did not receive official ministry permission to fill all of [the] positions" he holds, in addition to his leadership of the medical center. Again, simply not true.
Two of Rotstein's "positions" are teaching posts at Tel Aviv and Bar-Ilan universities – as is expected of someone with his experience – and his other three medically-related responsibilities are well within the approved guidelines of the Civil Service Commissioner. This was affirmed in the recent State Comptroller's annual report.
The Post
owes its readers more careful fact-checking.
Tel Aviv
The writer is spokesman for the Sheba Medical Center
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich responds:
I stand by my story after many hours of careful checking. Seven hospital directors-general, unwilling to be quoted, told me separately that five MRIs lacking licenses for diagnostic scans are at Sheba. "Every [senior manager] in the health system knows this," they said, "including in the Health Ministry."
They said licenses only for research had been obtained, but that Sheba switched the MRIs to diagnostic use for which payment is made. At the same time, some hospitals in the periphery have no scanners because their requests for the rationed licenses were turned down, and patients have to travel to Sheba and other hospitals in the center of the country to obtain a possibly lifesaving scan.
These hospital directors could not explain why Deputy Health Minister Ya'acov Litzman announced there were "four or five unlicensed [diagnostic] MRIs" without saying where they were. The ministry refused to confirm, after a week of requests from the Post, that the MRIs Litzman mentioned were at Sheba.
The Health Ministry is responsible for supervising all hospitals. If it's clueless as to where these huge, multi-million-dollar devices are – and they cannot be hidden under a hospital blanket – the ministry is negligent.
As for the State Comptroller's 280-page Hebrew-language report on the ministry, I thoroughly read it twice, and my summary covered a whole broadsheet page in the
at the beginning of May. Thirteen paragraphs of the report were a severe and unprecedented criticism of Rotstein's "moonlighting," as well as that of another hospital director. The comptroller stated that it was not advisable to both run a major medical center and fill so many additional posts. I repeated a short mention of this criticism in my MRI story.
Instead of "shooting the messenger," Rotstein and Weinberg should complain to the comptroller.

God is just in justifying us in Christ & setting us free from a guilty conscience to those who believe in Christ, but what about those who new not of the law ten commandments,or the coming messiash.What about those who have not heard the gospel how will God be just in condemning those or JUSTIFYING those

Optimistic Los Angeles Lakers fans had possibly found a glimmer of hope after two straight wins and solid performances from Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, but everyone at the Staples Center was blinded by the bright light of LeBron James on Thursday night. James took the contest by storm, opened his night with a pair of thunderous dunks and rolled to a game-high 39 points on 17-25 shooting to go with a game-high eight assists and a team-high seven rebounds. The Heat emerged with an impressive 99-90 home win, and those same Lakers fans were left in awe of the reigning league MVP (via Silver Screen and Roll):
LeBron in particular was magnificent tonight, splitting interior defenses, scoring in isolation situations, violating the hoops on the run and doling out 8 assists while shooting 17 for 25. Mike D'Antoni seemed to insist on not doubling James, which makes some sense if you consider the knock down shooters dotting the floor around him...but it also made zero sense considering that he absolutely eviscerated the Lakers tonight. If you don't enjoy watching LeBron James play, even when he's on the other side of the court, you don't love NBA basketball. That's a fact, jack.
LBJ pumped in 12 quick points on 6-of-8 shooting in the first quarter to give the Heat a 26-22 lead, and he saved 10 points, three rebounds and three assists for the final period as the Heat closed out the game. To put things in perspective, LeBron hit 8-of-12 shots in the second half and that was a step down from his deadly-efficient first-half performance (9-of-13 FGs). All hail King James.
LeBron, Kobe among All-Star starters | Picking the reserves
As noted in the game recap at SB Nation's Lakers blog, there can be no silver-lining games for L.A. at this point. The Lakers are now five games under .500 and just 12-10 at home, so it's silly to take solace in something like Dwight Howard's impressive stat line from the game (13 points on 4-7 shooting, 16 rebounds).
The Lakers will play 10 of their next 13 games on the road, so there isn't much time left for the glamour squad to get things turned around this year. The Western Conference has no room for an underachieving team in the playoff bracket, and if things go poorly over the next few weeks it may be time to focus in on the Feb. 21 trade deadline as an endpoint for this experiment out in L.A.

We have mostly cruised on Royal Caribbean. This was our 2nd cruise of the year and we found a great deal on the Sun leaving out of Pt. Canaveral 3/5/11. The itinerary was the typical western carib and we've been to the places before. We were scheduled to have 4 ports of call but ended up only having 3. An older man had a heart attack and came close to dying but the staff brought him back and they had to turn around and go back to a port because he needed to be taken to the ER immediately. The staff handled that relatively well.
Now, we booked this cruise not realizing it was during spring break for many colleges. As soon as we got to the line it was a disaster. It took a while but once you were on board you didn't feel as cluttered with the hoard or raging 19-21 yr olds...
In a nutshell heres what we loved, and obviously we were comparing to all of the various Royal Caribbean trips we've been on.
The ship overall had just come off of dry dock and was in immaculate condition. Our rooms very very clean and extremely spacious for an inside room on an older ship, better than almost all of the Royal Caribbean inside staterooms, besides the one on the Freedom ship and prob any newer ship than that. Its lovely having all of the extra space in an inside room. There were some new restaurants they had added. The food overall was amazing in the restaurants that you pay for. We were new to the freestyle dining experience and we didn't love it, we also didn't love the main dining room food either. Royal Caribbean main dining food is better, at least on the majority of the ships Ive been on. But the various specialty restaurants on the Sun BLEW any others away. The service was also great in these restaurants. Overall the service is better on Royal. It could have been the staff on this particular ship maybe, they were nice but no where near as attentive as on any of the Royal ships we've been on. What sticks out the most was the buffet eating areas and pool common areas... Not the best. Im sure it prob wasn't easy bc they had the insane spring breakers running a muck.
The cruise director was a female incredible. One of the best. Some of them can be a little, different... She was great. The entertainment on the ship was the BEST we've ever seen. We live in NY where you can see and find everything at your fingertips and still the entertainment on this ship was impressive. They had the basic musical shows, a juggling comedian, several comedians, a hypnotist... They really did an amazing job keeping the order and flow of things on the ship considering the drunken fools making scenes and begging for negative attention.
Overall experience even missing a port and having to stay on the ship: A-

Using POCOs with Xamarin and Couchbase Lite
Is it possible to save/query POCO classes (i.e. a class that doesn't inherit from NSObject or some other base class) using Couchbase Lite/Xamarin? So far the examples I've seen have used NSDictionary to populate the documents, but I'd like to avoid that so I can keep my business objects platform independent.

ICO2N releases report on CCS vision for Saskatchewan
ICO2N developed a CCS infrastructure vision for the province of Saskatchewan. Launched in 2012, the project incorporated expertise gathered from an initial workshop (Future of CCS Economic Development in Saskatchewan) held in Regina, Saskatchewan and presented conclusions in a workshop held in September of 2013. Using the ICO2N model the project prepared forecasts for CO2 capture volumes which were identified by plant type and geographical locations and prepared forecasts for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) volumes and locations. The project also assessed carbon capture opportunities and matched them with EOR demand for CO2 over time and established important inter-provincial linkages. The report can be downloaded from the ICO2N website.
The report is now publicly available via the ICO2N website.
