The world's largest polar bear leads thousands to defy Shell's injunction against Greenpeace. A family-friendly parade – part performance, part protest – sees nearly three thousand people walk alongside a double-decker bus size polar bear puppet, named Aurora. As the bear make its way through the capital she made an arresting sight which bystanders were keen to be photographed alongside her.

Earlier Wednesday, Pirates president Frank Coonelly had filed a formal complaint to the commissioner's office about the call made by umpire Jerry Meals in Tuesday night's game in Atlanta, which allowed the winning run to score in the 19th inning and gave the Pirates a loss.
Today, MLB is acknowledging that Meals blew the call, according to ESPN.com:
"Unfortunately, it appears that the call was missed, as Jerry Meals acknowledged after the game," Joe Torre, MLB's executive vice president for baseball operations, said in a statement. "Many swipe tags are not applied to the runner with solid contact, but the tag was applied and the game should have remained tied. I have spoken with Jerry, who is a hard-working, respected umpire, and no one feels worse than him. We know that this is not a product of a lack of effort."
The ESPN.com article goes on to quote Torre as saying that this incident should not be used as an excuse to expand replay and that "the human element" should always be a part of the game. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle countered that argument:
"You like to see the game finished by the players, win or lose," Hurdle said afterward. "For it to end like that is as disappointing as it gets in a game."
Commissioner Bud Selig has stated that MLB might expand the use of replay review beyond its current use, just for home runs. For now, though, no one in MLB seems too interested in changing the current system.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - They received about two hours warning that their children were getting out of school two hours early. But many parents say the disruption was worth it, given the snow and ice threat.
The last thing that Kasey Noel wanted was to get caught in the freezing rain, in the cherry-red Chevy Camaro she got for Christmas. But family came first when Greater Clark County Schools dismissed students two hours early Tuesday.
"My Mom couldn't get off work, so I have to come pick up my sister," she said. "They get out earlier than me."
Stacy Price was among dozens of parents or family members, joining Noel outside Jeffersonville High School. She was waiting for her freshman daughter.
"She was texting me earlier in the day saying the teachers were telling them they'd dismiss early," Price said. "Then the (district's) automatic messaging system let me know for sure."
But two hours' warning still created a bit of drama.
"We had a group of students at Actor's Theatre," Principal Julie Straight said. "Had to call them out of the performance, get the bus there so they could get back here, to get on the buses to go home."
"It worked," she said.
Jefferson County Public Schools also gave parents about two hours' warning that weather threats were prompting administrators to dismiss students two-hours early.
"Do not pick up any snow," security chief Derrick Robinson admonished students leaving Engelhard Elementary Tuesday afternoon.
Order is the watchword in Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood. Parent Ted Breckinridge couldn't have agreed more.
"Better to be safe than sorry," Breckinridge said. "So I'd rather pick em up now than later."
Same at Hite Elementary, where Jennifer Chapman wanted no repeat of January 17, when snow and sleet fell after the buses were on the road.
"I was a nervous wreck," she said. Tuesday, she was ready take her three children home for some made-from-scratch apple pie.
"I had an 11:45 pickup, then a 12:20, and now I'm here at 1:45," Chapman said . "So, I now know the meaning of Mom Taxi."
Back at Jeffersonville High, Kasey Noel discovered she'd be a taxi not only for her sister, but a friend too. All were relieved Tuesday would still count as a full school day.
"I feel like we're gonna have no summer at all," Noel said. "We have so many snow makeup days.
Greater Clark County Schools were set to open on a two-hour delay Wednesday. Barring more snow days, the 2013-14 school year would end June 6.

Quick Tip
Garam masala is a mixture of spices often used in Indian cooking. If you can't find it in the spice aisle of your supermarket, you can make your own by combining ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon coriander, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- EagleMed officials said the fatal helicopter crash that killed the pilot, 56-year-old Alan Dale Harrison, and nurse 35-year-old Ryan Duke and injured nurse and paramedic 34-year-old Michael Eccard, has the company wanting to know the exact cause of the crash so they can hopefully prevent something this tragic from ever happening again.
EagleMed's Regional Director Robbie Copeland said losing Harrison and Duke has been like losing a family member, but as for what led to their death, he said the company wants to know that as bad as anyone.
"This is just something we hoped we would never have to face, but safety is a very important thing. It's part of what we do, so we're looking into this very deeply, as well, to determine what we can do better as a company," Copeland said.
Copeland said FAA inspections for their helicopters and planes, which requires crews to adhere to the strictest of guidelines, is something the company takes very seriously.
"As far as the safety aspects of the helicopter, it involves the mechanics, the pilots, the crew members. So it's something we take very seriously. It's scrutinized very seriously," Copeland said.
EagleMed said since 1981, their helicopters have flown thousands and thousands of miles and Thursday's incident marks their first ever helicopter crash. As for the pilot, company officials said Harrison had years of experience including 10 years flying with EagleMed alone.

SPRINGFIELD, lll. -- Health officials are reporting a high levels of influenza in Illinois.
Within a two month period, officials say almost 150 people were admitted to the hospital intensive care units with influenza like illnesses and at least six reported deaths.
In Chicago, emergency rooms are so overcrowded with flu patients that ambulances carrying patients are being diverted to other hospitals.
Experts at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention say flu season is hitting hard this year, and we have yet to reach the peak.
Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck the vaccine is a good match for the circulating flu strain, and that it is not too late to get a flu shot.
"The flu season normally runs through March and sometimes later. If you do get the flu, the vaccine can also reduce the amount of time you're sick and the severity of symptoms. By getting vaccinated, you can also help protect infants, the elderly and those with chronic diseases who are at greatest risk for complications due to the flu," said Dr. Hasbrouck.
Other ways to reduce your chances of catching the contagious disease are by practicing the three C's:
* Clean
* Cover
* Contain
Flu season normally runs through March.

Healthiest Frozen Treats
June 6, 2012 at 11:37 am , by Amelia Harnish
Here at the LHJ office, all it takes to get the entire staff assembled immediately in our mini-kitchen is an e-mail with a one-word subject line. Even the Health Ladies can't resist one of those "TREATS!" messages. And why should we? There's really no reason to resist, as long as you don't go overboard. That's why we would never, ever recommend you skip some of the best things about summer and possibly, the world: ice pops, frozen yogurt and ice cream!
Instead, we put together a list of delicious choices for healthier frozen desserts with the help of Rachel Berman, R.D., the director of nutrition at CalorieCount.com. In general, you want to look for a product that has fewer than 250 calories, 20 grams of sugar and 5 grams of saturated fat per ½ cup serving, she says. Here are some that fit the bill.
Edy's Whole Fruit Bars
"Having a frozen fruit bar is the closest thing to guilt-free you can get," Berman says. These are only 80 calories a bar, and because they're made with real fruit, there's some nutrients in there, too.

Diner Reviews
Working at a restaurant myself, I
find myself always critiquing when I eat out. Lola's was a great experience. Our server was friendly, personable, and attentive to our needs. She was knowledgable about wines which led us to pick Tomero - excellent. The food was also excellent.. All 4 of us completely cleaned our plates. Overall, experience exceeded my expectations and we definitely will be back!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
It's the kinda place you have to
know about in order to go...and I think as time goes on, more and more people will know. Food was great, atmosphere equally so. Loved the live jazz."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Since Lola's opening we have been
enjoying dinner every three weeks or so. It is close to us. Love their decor . Nice Bar that includes big tv screens."
Dined on 6/19/2014
The restaurant has a great view of
the ocean and the decor somewhat eclectic. The appetizers were very good (salmon tartar and blue cheese croquettes). The service was great, our waitress catered to us. However while my fish was good, my husband's steak was not. Expecting a great steak from an Argentinian restaurant, he asked to see what her recommendation - ribeye. Not your usual Argentinian cut but he went with it. Not good. However still would recommend the restaurant and willing to give it another shot."

the apps were very tasty however
the dinner failed to meet the quality of the apps. The steaks were small thin and over cooked. suggest to go for cocktails and apps and for the south beachy atmosphere........at a lower cost not so hard on your wallet."

Housed in a Miami Beach condo
complex, you may wonder like we did if you arrived at the right address. Don't let the outside of this building deceive you. This is a beautiful upscale restaurant, with fantastic food, exceptional service, and reasonable prices. We enjoyed appetizers of mussels and spicy shrimp. Both were beautifully presented and delicious. Perfection would have been a couple more shrimp. For entrees we enjoyed perfectly cooked skirt steak and flap steak with amazing sauces. Both the trio of chimichurri sauces and the mushroom bacon wine reduction sauce were delicious and paired beautifully with the steak. We ended our meal with the delectable warm chocolate brownie with chocolate ice cream. All I can say is Yum!"

I took my daughter to this
restaurant because I read previous reviews and it seem like they had good food and ambiance. When we got there, there was only 2 other tables, the server came right away and told us about the specials for that night. I ordered an appetizer, 15 minutes later, I had to call him to order a glass of wine. He brought the appetizer and the glass of wine. The restaurant started to get busier, about 9 tables, there was only one server, and a buzzer. We had to wait about 40 minutes more, I called the buzzer and told him we wanted to put our order. He took our order, because the server never came back. I ordered a second glass of wine. And he forgot it. It was the worse service I have ever had. I would never go back."

This restuarant is in the most
unusual place, a condo buildings 2nd floor, get past the lobby and the spiral staircase and you'll find Lola. This small but lovely "Lola" is well appointed with a contemporary flare. We chose to sit outside because of the beautiful evening, there were some interesting appetizers and main choices, plated nicely and plentiful. My salmon was a little over cooked, the shrimp were sweet and spicy, just the was they said they would be. Wine choices were good although one that was chosen was out, but a good substitution with a taste before was provided. My only "beef " with outside dining it seems is that is where the smokers are put and we had some around us, bah! Smoking and food don't mix."

Overall, this was the best dining
experience in Miami Beach. For the money this cannot be beat. The food tasted fresh and was well prepared. The setting is "odd" in that you overlook a pool in a condo complex, but once the meal starts, that becomes the focus."

I tried the Mussels and this was
an amazing appetizer something to remember. But the main dish, the Flap was wrong, my wife plate was given to me to me and mine given to her, had different side, spices and cook level, so was not able to exchange plates, the mistake was made in the kitchen, neither the meat was as a good flaps i have tried before. Servers were nice, polite, and willing to please their guest, but a bit delayed in responding to the needs of the table, due to overwhelming work load. The valet parking person changed my radio station in my car, and who knows what else."

This restaurant is located in a
condo complex with virtually no street advertising. Nevertheless, it is a gem and well worth a visit. The room is well appointed, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is truly wonderful and the presentation is outstanding. The chef/owner, Christian, is an artist who cares deeply about what he is creating all the way from the market to your table. All this at reasonable prices for the area. I highly recommend this place. You wont be disappointed!"

The park districts in Lake and Geauga counties have levy issues on the November ballot.
And officials with both districts are optimistic voters will pass the measures so they can continue to maintain current levels of service.
Lake Metroparks
Lake Metroparks' proposed levy includes replacement of a 0.3-mill operating levy and would add an additional 0.5-mills for a total of 0.8 mills over 10 years.
Lake Metroparks Interim Executive Director Paul Palagyi said the funding is needed to make up for a continued reduction in state funding.
Palagyi said the district has worked diligently to make the most of a tightened budget including two years of wage freezes for all employees.
"We have fewer employees today than in 1994 and we're still managing over 2,000 acres more property and several additional parks with almost 30 fewer employees," Palagyi said.
If it passes, the combined 0.8-mill operating levy would yield more than $2.7 million annually for the district and cost taxpayers $18.72 per $100,000 of property valuation, according to the Lake County Auditor's Office. If it's not approved, collection of the current 0.3-mill levy will continue through 2015.
"If the levy fails, we'll look at all areas of park operations and have to make substantial reductions across the park district," Palagyi said. "We're confident that the voters of Lake County appreciate the quality service the district has provided."
Geauga Park District
Geauga Park District voters will decide on the fate of a 1-mill, 20-year replacement levy.
If approved, the levy would replace the current 1-mill levy, which was approved in 1993. A 1995 levy, also worth 1-mill, is also set to expire at the end of the year.
"The end result would be a slight reduction in taxes and will allow us to continue to function at the level we're currently at," Geauga County Park District Executive Director Tom Curtin said.
According to the Geauga County Auditor's Office, the levy will cost taxpayers about $30.63 annually per $100,000 in property valuation. Curtin said, with the 1995 levy's expiration, the net change for taxpayers will be a 16 percent reduction in park district taxes.
Collection of the proposed levy would begin in 2014. It would yield more than $2.9 million annually for the parks district, which amounts to about a $683,000 reduction each year from its current intake.
Curtin said the district has reduced land acquisition and decided against some capital projects, affording the opportunity for a levy reduction. The reduced funding, he said, would be enough to maintain current service levels.
"We have been fortunate enough to receive good support from our county residents over the years," he said. "They believe in what we do."

Someone in Eastern North Carolina is stealing cigarettes at a rapid rate, leading the Nash County Sheriff's Office to ask for help in finding the culprit.
This has now happened 22 times, with the incidents stretching across Nash, Wilson, Franklin, Johnston and even Pitt counties. Police think a recent robbery in Farmville was connected.
Officials aren't sure if the robberies are the work of just one person. In the video, the person appears to be a white male, but Lt. Todd Wells of the Nash County Sheriff's Office said officials aren't sure because the thief is wearing a ski mask, gloves and coat, and only part of the neck is visible.
But the patterns are similar, where a thief grabs a large amount of cigarettes and then flees. Wells said each time, the robber goes in the front door after the store is closed and snatches a large amount of cartons of cigarettes. Most of the time, the robber takes between 20 and 60 cartons, but one time snatched 106 cartons.
The robberies have been happening since April. Wells said the bandit has hit about 10 times in Nash County, and police aren't sure if the thief is re-selling the cigarettes.
In all cases, the bandit only steals cigarettes.
Wells has been with Nash County's Sheriff's Office for 19 years and said the number of times these break-ins are taking place, are happening at an alarming rate.
"This is just coming back and it seems with a vengeance," Wells said.
Shequeta Freeman knows about the cigarette bandit all too well. She's a cashier at Murphy's Express in Nashville and said the bandit robbed them twice while the store was closed.
"Last time they tried to get in, and threw a rock."
That's when Freeman said the store added more security and changed the locks.
"I'm trying to get out of here before the lights cut off that way, so I won't be in the middle of anything," said Freeman.
Investigators said the bandit only steals cigarette cartons and nothing else because of the huge return.
"Say they were to theoretically break in and steal 50 cartons from every store. You say, 50 times 21 times 150," said Wells.
That's theoretically $157,500 in profit, if you sell them in the north where cigarettes are much more expensive. That's why investigators said the bandits keep coming back.
The Nash County Sheriff's Department released a video of the suspect, and is asking anyone with information to call (252)459-4121 or (252)459-1570.

The Philadelphia Eagles lead the New England Patriots 24-17 after three quarters in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Quarterback Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles' offense came out firing on all cylinders as they drove 80 yards in just under four minutes, capped off by a Foles touchdown pass to tight end Clay Harbor to put the Eagles on top 21-14.
After a Patriot three and out, the Eagles then pushed into New England territory once again. However, this possession ended in a missed 55-yard field goal by Alex Henery.
Ryan Mallett and the Patriots only needed to go 18 yards in six plays after the missed field goal to settle for a 55-yard field goal for Stephen Gostkowski, his third of the night.
With the lead now 21-17, the Eagles again drove behind Foles, gaining 56 yards in seven plays. Again, they were forced to kick a field goal, but this time successfully -- a 42-yarder off the foot of Alex Henery.
Brian Hoyer entered the game under center for the Patriots just before half, replacing Ryan Mallett.

CEOs at some of the nation's leading tech companies see boundless potential for big data and smarter, integrated systems to address major social challenges in areas ranging from medicine to education to transportation -- but at the same time, they worry that policymakers at home and abroad could stand in the way of that vision.
Top executives at firms such as Dell, IBM and Xerox gathered in the nation's capital this week under the auspices of the Technology CEO Council, bringing with them a message that the data economy is imperiled by concerns about security and privacy and protectionist policies that could limit the growth of cloud computing and balkanize the Internet.
[ Cut to the key news for technology development and IT management with the InfoWorld Daily newsletter, our summary of the top tech happenings. ]
"The biggest barriers I think that we see are not around the engineering. It's around regulation. It's around protectionism. It's around trust, or lack thereof. It's around policies and procedures," says Xerox Chairman and CEO Ursula Burns, who also chairs the CEO council.
"One of the biggest concerns that we have, and one of the reasons why we come together as a group, is to make sure that we can keep the playing field open to advancement, open to the possibilities of this new economy, and not close it off," Burns adds.
Big data potential needs free flow of information
In addressing the data economy, Burns and other CEOs on the council are offering policymakers a mixed message. On the one hand, gleaning meaningful insights from expansive data sets can have a transformative impact on industries such as healthcare that have been slow to adopt new technologies.
For instance, Dell, one of many tech giants building health IT businesses, maintains an archive of some 7 billion medical images, aggregated in a data set that can be mined for patterns and predictive analytics.
"There's lots that can be done with this data that was very, very siloed in the past," says company Chairman and CEO Michael Dell. "We're really just kind of scratching the surface."
[ Analysis: The Big Promise of Big Data ][ More: Big Data Gold Not Always Where You Expect It ]
On the other hand, the essential promise of the data economy that Dell and others envision relies on the free flow of information across distributed systems - and a foundation of trust that will give users the confidence to share their data with service providers.
Tech leaders see threats on both fronts.
"What could happen," Burns warns, "is that governments around the world figure out a way to restrict data and data portability and data usage and data movement in such a way that actually limits the full potential of this new economy."
Protectionism restricts data flow, hurts U.S. cloud providers
Many U.S. cloud firms warn against protectionist policies under consideration in foreign markets, particularly in Western Europe, which favor local service providers with requirements for local hosting or storage, or place restrictions on cross-border data flows.
In response, tech leaders lobby against those proposals overseas and seek to promote safeguards for cross-border data flows in U.S. trade policy.

It's getting to the point where I'm starting to doubt the instances of Manny being Manny. They're too perfect, too calculated and cynical. No one can be that Manny. There's just no way.
Though I guess if anyone can, it's Manny. Manny Ramirez opened spring training by asking Brett Anderson if he was the team's video coordinator. And just a couple of days later, he tells CBS Sports this gem:
One year ago in the Rays' camp in Florida, I remind him, he playfully asked me to put in a good word for him. Then, a few weeks later, he tested positive.
Is that going to happen again?
"Only God knows," he says.
It was the softballiest of softballs. Are you going to do the stupid thing that got you in trouble in the first place? Simple question. Simple answer. For 99 percent of the world. Instead, Manny wasn't quite sure. God knows, of course. Text him and he'll probably confirm that Manny probably isn't going to test positive again. If everything works out.
It's not news -- it's a good read, though, that article -- but every Manny being Manny moment should receive some sort of award. We can't spring for that, so we'll just have to write a few words whenever it happens instead.

MSI Mechanical Systems of Salem participated in the N.H. Construction Career Days at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds last week and some students got a hands-on look at brazing.
The two day hands-on career fair exposes New Hampshire high school students to possible career paths in both the construction and transportation industries through exhibits and educational resources.
Project managers Jim Bigelow and Sean McNamara welcomed high school students to the MSI demo booth at the NH Construction Career Days held at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds on Thursday, September 19 and Friday, September 20.
"As a strong advocate of educating high school students about the trades, MSI was pleased to participate in this year's construction career fair," said Brian Hooper, vice president of MSI. "At our MSI booth, we designed a hands-on, realistic HVAC project where we show students how to cut black iron pipe with a pipe cutter and we also show students how to braze copper piping with a torch. That's something you don't do in the classrooms at high school."

---- — TUPPER LAKE — Police here arrested a Tupper Lake man in connection with a burglary and evidence related to a car theft.
Joshua A. LaFlair, 26, was taken into custody on Aug. 30 and charged with third-degree burglary, fourth-degree criminal mischief and petit larceny.
The arrest stems from two incidents last Thursday.
Early that morning, Tupper Lake Village Police responded to burglar-alarm activation at Ray's Liquor Store on Demars Boulevard.
Police Chief Eric T. Proulx said in a press release that, at about 2:50 a.m., "responding officers found forced entry had been made to the Liquor Store. After securing the building, officers notified the owner."
The proprietor arrived to find several bottles of liquor had been taken.
Then, a few hours later at 8 a.m., a call to police reported a stolen vehicle.
Proulx said the car was taken from a residence on McCarthy Street.
"The vehicle was located a short time later in a parking lot in the village," he said.
But several items had been stolen from inside the car, he added.
The police investigation led to a description of a possible suspect.
And on Friday, off-duty Tupper Lake Police Officer Matthew Dana saw a person on Main Street fitting the description.
"Officer Dana followed the person (LaFlair) from a distance and observed him enter a private residence," Proulx said.
Dana then called for uniformed police.
Police gained consent to search and entered the Lafayette Street residence and found the alleged burglar and several items related to the Liquor Store burglary and vehicle theft, Proulx said.
LaFlair was arrested Friday afternoon and arraigned in Village Court.
He was taken to Franklin County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond, where he remained on Tuesday.
Police said additional charges against him were pending further investigation.
The police chief praised Dana for remaining vigilant while off duty and helping to locate the alleged burglar.

Today is the 2nd event for Super Fight League, a promotion from India being spearheaded by millionaire tycoon Raj Kundra, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, and MMA agent, Ken Pavia.
Their first event got mixed reviews, with weird crowd shots and Bob Sapp tapping to a James Thompson double leg takedown, but hey, but it did bring us an entertaining women's bout along with that oh so catchy and excellent theme song.
They seem to have a much better card this time around though, with several veterans and familiar names on the line up such as Minowaman, Alexander Shlemenko, Paul Kelly, Todd Duffee, Neil Grove.
We'll be bringing you the live video and some play-by-play of the event which starts at around 9:15 a.m. ET, so as always make Bloody Elbow your home for this one.
[UPDATE] If you missed it live, you can still catch the complete event video, along with the results and play-by-play after the jump.
Fight Card and Play by Play:
The show was a bit delayed, but when it started, the owners made their speeches, and they showed a video to introduce what a submission, TKO, and KO means. First fight on it's way:
- Paul Kelly vs. Ryan Healy: Round 1 - Both guys come in with the SFL theme as their walk out music. Paul Kelly didn't want to touch gloves with Pat Healy's brother. Combination from Kelly and Healy clinches with him. The Team Quest product lands a few dirty boxing, and now they separate. Jab from Kelly. They clinch up and more dirty boxing from Healy. He's really doing well in the clinch. Dirty boxing and knees every time they clinch and separate. Kelly is bleeding. Brief exchange, and it's more clinching. Kelly with a takedown attempt gets stuffed. More exchanges, but it always seem to end with a brief clinch battle and dirty boxing from Healy. Healy is looking more comfortable and he's slowly picking Kelly apart. Takedown from Healy, now he has the back with a few elbows before the round ends. 10-9 Ryan Healy easily.
Round 2 - Kelly is landing a few shots, but it ends on the clinch again. Healy with a takedown. Kelly uses the fence to get up, but gets taken down again. Sramble and it's Healy back on top. Kelly gets back up again and is attempting his own takedown. Healy defends well, and now he shoots for his own takedown. Healy on top in half guard, landing a few elbows. More ground and pound from Healy. Kelly gets back up, and they're still on the clinch. Kelly doesn't want this. As I type that, Kelly dives down for a guillotine, and it looks tight.... Healy pops out, and he's back on top doing good ground and pound. 10-9 Ryan Healy again.
Round 3 - Good exchange from both men. Kelly lands a head kick, but healy didn't even flinch. Healy with a takedown, and he's working to get the back. Kelly reverses and now he's on top in full guard. He has to do something big on this round. Ground and pound from kelly and now he drops on another Guillotine attempt. BAD idea, and now he's on his back with Healy throwing punches. Healy moves to side control. Kelly bucks and now they scramble. Another takedown from Healy and lands on half guard. Now side control and mount. Kelly gives up the back with the hooks in. Kelly reverses and winds up on top. Tries for an ill fated triangle, and now he's on his back AGAIN. 10-9 Healy, and that should make it 30-27 for Pat Healy's brother.
Judges unanimously score the bout for Healy. They announce it as 28-29 Blue, 27-30 Blue, and 27-30 Blue. Weird. Ryan Healy wins by Unanimous Decision.
- Chaitanya Gavali vs. Pierre Daguzan: Oh, this was the guy who fought on their first show who they announced as single, and needs a girlfriend. Nice. Pierre Daguzan defeats Chaitanya Gavali by Unanimous Decision.
Phil Baroni joked that Gavali probably got too much friend requests and date requests on facebook that he didn't have time to train. Win.
- Bharat Kandare vs. Soro Ismael. OMG. They just said Soro Ismael has the charisma of Kimbo Slice, and has the talent of Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva. They also said he's been "watching MMA for a long time". Wow.
Anderson St. Kimbo just tapped to strikes. Sorry bud. Bharat Kandare wins by TKO (strikes).
- Alexander Shlemenko vs. Ikuhisa Minowa: Minowaman comes in with his trademark red Speedos, and a cape. Awesome. Finally, here's the only fight I've been looking forward to. Round 1 - Shlemenko quickly takes the center of the cage. Minowa is circling and lands a leg kick. Right hand from Minowa, and Shlemenko lands a spinning back kick. Minowa shoots and starts butt scooting. Back to their feet, and Shlemenko is landing a few shots. Another missed spinning back kick, but then lands a BIG knee that drops Minowa. Minowa attempts a leglock, and fails. They try make him get up, but Minowa couldn't. Fight is stopped. Rib Injury? He's still down and doctors are attending to him. Minowaman gets back up but he looks like he's still in a lot of pain. Alexander Shlemenko wins by TKO (injury).
Post fight, the Bellator tournament winner took the mic and said, "Hello India! Hector (Lombard), I kill you!"
- Anup Kumar vs. Dilanga Rathnaweera - Apparently, Anup Kumar is a kickboxing champ from India. They show crowd shots of the owners looking bored WHILE the fight is happening. The fighter form Sri Lanka was attempting a schoolyard headlock, and now he's mounted again. I spaced out again, and the round ended.
So this guy is apparently, already the most promising Indian fighter. He choked out the guy from Sri Lanka and danced around Bollywood style. Anup Kumar wins by Submission (Rear Naked Choke).
- Ricky Sanhi vs. Shalika Senanayake - More Sri Lanka vs. India... Ricky Sanhiwins wins by TKO (Punches)
- Colleen Schneider vs. Cherie Buck - Good female fight. Colleen Scheider finished the fight after pounding her out in a crucifix position. Colleen Scheider wins by TKO (punches)
Now they're interviewing the owners who are sitting on a couch who just kept on saying he's "happy". Woman sitting next to them looks bored and is just texting. Now they're talking to the celebrities who are talking about an upcoming movie... Can we get to the fights already?
- Todd Duffee vs. Neil Grove - Finally. Duffee and Grove walking to "the O-Zone". Round 1 - Duffee with a quick takedown that gets stuffed. BIG RIGHT HAND. Grove is down, quick GnP, and it's over. Reminiscent of his sole UFC win. Todd Duffee wins by TKO (punches)
Todd Duffee talked to Baroni post-fight and gave credit to AKA for the win. He says he wants to keep active and begs SFL for another fight in the next 6 or 8 weeks.

text: I had a pair of Chameleon 4s that were a tad too big. Unfortunately, like my prior pair of Merrells, the heel top wore away on the inside which tended to produce blisters. After a three miler yesterday and two nasty blisters, I threw the old shoes away. Got the Blaze at Cabela's after seriously considering two other brands. The Blaze's attributes, besides being somewhat lower cut in the heel area kept me with the shoe company I prefer. Had them out this morning for a three miler on pavement (fast walk). Good fit, shoe seems true to size, very comfortable on my feet. The big bonus is that the rear heel area is under where I cut my blisters, so no pain right out of the box! Only one day, but we're off to a good start together. Plus, this is a snazzy looking shoe; good for in-town as well as hiking.

No, I'll Have Another didn't in fact have another, but the 2012 Belmont Stakes was still quite the race. Union Rags came from behind to defeat Paynter in a photo finish to claim the Belmont Stakes crown.
Union Rags, as you may recall, was favored to win the Kentucky Derby, but struggled out of the gate and never was in contention to win. Despite that, Union Rags was given 3-1 odds to win the Belmont -- odds that he made good on.
The full results for the 2012 Belmont Stakes are as follows:
- Union Rags
- Paynter
- Atigun
- Street Life
- Five Sixteen
- Unstoppable U
- Dullahan
- My Adonis
- Ravelo's Boy

Log in to your Library account
The Course Readings Service gives taught course students access to materials that are in high demand. Access is provided in digital format where possible (see Digital Course Readings); these digital readings are made available through online reading lists. Otherwise, readings are in paper format (Paper Course Readings). (More information about format.) This service replaces the Teaching Collection service.
The Teaching and Learning Support Section (TLSS) administers the service. The section is based in room 402 of the the Science Library (DMS Watson building). Contact TLSS.
Course readings are typically book extracts and journal articles, but can include copies of images and diagrams from printed sources, lecture notes and other core course materials.
The Course Readings Service takes advantage of UK copyright licensing schemes (administered by the Copyright Licensing Agency) to make available material covered by copyright. There are certain restrictions on what material can be added to the collection without permission. Considering these limits when selecting material for inclusion in the collection can avoid delays and frustration. Licence limits. What the Licence means for format of course readings.
Please note that articles that are readily available in full text via UCL's E-journals service, and material that is easily accessible on public websites, cannot be included as course readings.
There is a simple procedure for submitting an extract. Please pay careful attention to the deadlines indicated.
All extracts submitted to the Course Readings Service must be accompanied by
This documentation is extremely helpful to TLSS staff, enabling them to ensure compliance with copyright law and the CLA Licence (see Copyright), and to attach the correct bibliographic information to the extract.
All material made available through the Course Readings Service must comply with the provisions of copyright law and UCL's CLA Licence. More details.
If the extract was published outside the UK or US, but complies with the other conditions above, the CLA Licence may allow it to be included in paper format, or as a paper course reading.
Where permission is required, TLSS can contact the publisher on behalf of the lecturer in question. Publishers usually make a charge for use of non-licensed material. All permission costs must be paid by the requesting department. Charges for digital copies vary but are likely to be calculated on a per page per student basis. Typically, a publisher will charge 5-10 pence per page per student, although more may be charged. Paper copies attract lower charges. TLSS will ask a lecturer to confirm that funding is available for any permission charges before we write to a pubisher. If no funds are available we will not request permission.
When submitting a reading that will require permission, please bear in mind that publishers often do not respond for several weeks. Items from sources not held by UCL Library, or that exceed the limits above, should therefore be submitted as far in advance of the required date as possible.
View a digram that explains the process of making a course reading available.
Digital course readings are extracts from books and print journals that TLSS staff have scanned and uploaded as PDF files. Links are then made from citations in online reading lists to these PDFs. Students can use the SFX link (that appears next to every item in an online reading list) to access the full text of the extract. Students registered on the course may download and print out a copy of the extract. (Please note that digital readings do not appear on the Library catalogue.)
Lecturers who have established Moodle courses are welcome to use Moodle as a means of delivering access to digital course readings. TLSS staff will be happy to advise you further, and to provide details of links once readings have been uploaded in the usual way.
TLSS retains back-up copies of scanned extracts. If extracts are to be used in future years, it is a simple procedure to re-publish the appropriate online reading list, including the links to digitised readings, amended as necessary.
Paper course readings are photocopies from books and print journals that cannot be included as digital course readings. (See Format: can it be digitised?) These are kept in envelopes at the Main, Science, Bartlett and Institute of Archaeology issue desks, and are normally issued for three hour periods or overnight from 4pm. However, they may be given a two-day loan status on request.
Each item is assigned a number (eg. SCIENCE 2546). Students can locate the item and its number by searching on the Library catalogue by author and title, just as for a book. It is also possible to search by entering the department and course code in a Keyword search (eg. ANTH7004).
For reasons of space, copies of any one item are normally limited to a maximum of two. (Exceptions are possible if a class is unusually large; TLSS staff are happy to give advice.)
If there are more than 6 readings for a course that cannot be made available as PDF, and the lecturer would prefer a bound paper studypack to hand out to students, then the TLSS will advise the lecturer on how this can be achieved. For further details see study pack preparation guidelines.
Please note that if a reading submitted falls outside the terms of the CLA Licence, permission from the copyright holder will be necessary.
Course readings remain available while the course for which they are intended is taught. On an annual basis, TLSS staff review course readings, providing lecturers with information about readings that are in the collection and asking them which of those readings are needed for the coming year. If no response is received, it is assumed that the readings are no longer needed. If a particular digital reading is required in a future year, the existing PDF file can be used: there is no need for an additional submission from the lecturer.
If paper course readings are mutilated or stolen, or pages are found to be missing, TLSS staff will inform the lecturer and request a replacement copy if the material is still required.
Please note that lecturers can request that items be removed from the Course Readings Service at any point.
TLSS staff are happy to answer questions and give further advice.
E-mail enquiries should be directed to: email@example.com

Why carry all those cards when a smartphone does the job?
We've all seen it. Invariably you notice someone with a keychain with more store loyalty cards on it than keys. Perhaps it's the wallet with more loyalty cards than cash. I know when I open my wallet a couple of these cards try to slide out.
In many instances, managing all of these cards can be a hassle. Even if it doesn't take much time to find the correct loyalty card for scanning at checkout, there is an inconvenience to managing all of the cards.
That's why I was pleased to finally take advantage of the mobile phone-based loyalty programs offered by a couple of my favorite restaurants. One is Starbucks Corp. and the other is Jersey Mike's Subs sandwich shop. Both are in the same strip mall I frequent. Each wants to offer enough incentives to entice customers to return, but each takes a slightly different approach.
Starbucks, the behemoth coffee chain that counts more than 17,000 global locations, has enough resources to build its own app that performs many functions. Consumers can use it to pay for their beverages, send electronic Starbucks gift cards, reload their Starbucks prepaid cards and monitor their rewards. My epiphany with this app happened when it updated my rewards program tally without me doing anything more than using the app to pay for my mocha. It was simple.
Jersey Mike's Subs, while a good-size chain with 500 locations, uses a different method to encourage repeat customers. Consumers at my local shop supply their mobile phone numbers to receive text messages with offers. While this scheme focuses on offers rather than rewards points, it has the same goal as the Starbucks smartphone app: get me to return and buy more products. Jersey Mike's Subs also has an e-mail-based program available through its corporate web site.
Both approaches have their place within retailing. The Starbucks smartphone app in some ways gives the consumer control over transactions typically made only at the cash register, such as purchasing electronic gift cards. Starbucks has the money and technical expertise to develop the app and keep it updated. Jersey Mike's Sub has a different business, relying on franchisees for growth, and a different approach. These small business owners want simple services that don't have a lot of cost associated with them. Text-based programs can serve them well.
I'm satisfied with the loyalty programs of both merchants. The best thing about them, in addition to the perks, is that I no longer have to twist my keychain or pick through my wallet to find a loyalty card to scan. My phone takes care of it for me.
