Media-hyped, Brit garage rock act hit America
It's a sweaty late Saturday night, a loft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is filled far past capacity, and there are a few young British blokes playing scrappy indie rock in the front. There are rowdy twenty-somes moshing… and it's unclear if there's more beer or cigarette smoke being consumed inside.
It still happens in New York, even in 2013. Palma Violets, a four-piece London-based act with not-so-hidden hints of The Libertines and the Arctic Monkeys, made their Northeast US debut count in late January. Locally Amped caught two of their half-dozen shows in NYC over the course of a week, one at Brooklyn's Glasslands and one at the aforementioned loft show.
Simple, reverb-heavy songs define the young Brits, who quickly caught the hearts of the British music industry and media. In 2012, they played mostly small basement gigs before Rough Trade — the home of their proteges, The Strokes and The Libertines — signed them.
Their debut album, "180″ finally hit the public this past week to mostly positive reviews, but prior to that, their buzz was solely the result of two singles including a youthful track with a chorus of "I wanna be your best friend."
Add friendly songs, some exuberant, young guys and the accessible four-chord garage rock sound together, and its not surprising that they've got this initial buzz.
New York surely didn't get sick of them, as Brooklyn Vegan reported that nearly all of the shows had a young, vibrant crowd. Crowd surfing happened, and it wasn't even a punk show.
They have the young, reverb-soaked sound down pat. And, their live presence is stellar, to say the least. Now, let's see if they have staying power.
They're back on the East Coast at Brighton Music Hall in Boston on May 6, Johnny Brenda's in Philly on May 8, Music Hall of Williamsburg (NYC) on May 9 and Bowery Ballroom (NYC) on May 10 so catch them and make an educated guess then.

OCEAN CITY, Md. - Authorities have confirmed two men have died after a fire Tuesday morning, at the rectory building of St. Paul's by the Sea Episcopal Church in Ocean City. One other victim, an adult female was transported to John's Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. All of their identities are not being released at this time, however, the identity of one of the deceased men has been confirmed by Atlantic General Hospital as Reverend David Dingwall.Crews were called to 3rd Street and N. Baltimore Avenue for the two alarm blaze around 9:25 a.m. It was later upgraded to three alarm, but was controlled shortly after the arrival of responders from the Ocean City Fire Department and three surrounding fire departments.
The Ocean City Fire Department says its initial assessments show significant damage to the first and second floor office, along with smoke and overhaul damage to the first floor of the rectory building. The Worship Center and the Red Doors Community Center within St. Paul's By The Sea, reportedly seem to have no significant damage. The church is the third oldest building in Ocean City and the second oldest church in the beach town. It's been serving the community for over 100 years.
The rectory building is home to The Shepherd's Crook --St. Paul's free food pantry and clothing store for those in need. Kevin Ball, a parishioner at the church, was on his way to volunteer at the pantry when he saw it engulfed in flames.
"It was just complete astonishment to see the flames coming out of the windows. For something of this magnitude to happen, it hurts deeply. It's the holidays. People come to us for help and support, and a warm place and a hot cup of coffee and a good meal," he said.
As many speculate the cause of the fire, Ball says volunteers who were inside the church at the time of the incident witnessed a man who frequents the Shepherd's Crook walk into the building while lighting a cigarette.
"He came through the door, apparently caught on fire. We don't know exactly how. Screaming for help. And our volunteers that were inside tried to help him," Ball said.
"Today was a very tragic day for our community," said Ocean City Fire Chief Chris Larmore. "We are thankful for the numerous agencies that assisted us during our response and especially thankful for all of the public safety personnel who helped prevent this fire from claiming more lives."
The Ocean City, Worcester County, and Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office along with the Ocean City Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division are still investigating the cause of the fire at this time. Anyone with information regarding the fire is asked to contact the Ocean City Police Department at 410-723-6610. They are also looking for anyone with photos or videos taken before the arrival of the Fire Department.
St. Peter's Lutheran Church reached out to WMDT on Tuesday evening. It will be hosting a prayer service for St. Paul's by the Sea Episcopal Church on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. It is located at 10301 Coastal Highway in Ocean City, MD 21842. If you have any questions please contact 410-524-7474.

Spending Some Time Down by the Shore
Obviously a lot of people could never do what I am doing, but at the moment I have a job where I am basically able to work any place that I want to work. It is pretty much as though I am an independent contractor. All I need is to have a computer and access to the Internet. In fact I need two computers, one of them has to be very powerful in fact and the other just needs to be able to handle graphics. I was a bit worried that I might have left one in a Bristol Taxi, but in fact I had left it in the Hotel lobby and they called me up right when I was about to have a panic attack. The other one was being shipped to the cottage in a moving van. I packed up all of my stuff in a tiny van and hired a friend of mine to move it.
In fact I was able to find this really inexpensive place by the coast just out of Bristol towards Cornwall. It is not right on the Coast, but I can walk to the beach in just about ten minutes at a leisurely pace. It is not a big deal if you are already wanting to get in shape. Of course my plan is to get up each morning and go out for a long walk on the beach. That was not a very practical plan this morning however. In fact there was a rather nasty storm blowing in off of the ocean and it was one of those situations where you have to worry about getting struck by debris flying through the air. I did not need to exercise badly enough to risk taking a flying piece of tree to the dome.Just Click Here
We Must Become More Security Conscious
Lately I have started to become more and more security conscious after I was robbed a few months ago. It was a terrible experience to know that someone had gone through all of my things, that they had access to every part of my life within my home. I resolved to never allow that to happen again and instead focuses on security, buying myself a network of cctv systems to install throughout my house and even outside the house. It might seem extreme but how else are we supposed to protect that which is ours? It is said that for residential crimes they are more likely to prevent robberies. I thought about installing an entire security system in the house but found that it was far too expensive compared to the camera system that I had found. If you want to be able to keep your family safe and secure from those that might seek to violate your right to privacy and right to live, this is the way to do it.
There are other options you can consider exploring but I believe that the decision should be made in part in the context of what kind of place you live in, what sort of crime you are having to deal with and the frequency of those crimes There are simple methods that you can do that will help keep you safe that don't cost money but in the long run you are going to do well if you have some sort of system that is safeguarding you and yours. I will never allow myself to be taken advantage of again - I still have trouble shaking the feeling that they might be able to get back into my house again or that they will see me as weak because they were capable of doing so.
What would happen if someone with O- blood received blood from any other blood type donor?
- What would happen if someone with O- blood received blood from any other blood type donor? Would getting AB+ transfusion be more severe then getting A- or O+? I'm not worried about it happening to me, just curious.
Answer by Duncan The Puppy
Well, there are some blood types that are called "universal" (see link, below) so, depending on what they got, it might or might not harm them. Good luck!... ☺
- My daughter has O positive blood type. I am B postitive and my husband has O positive. What is the significance of having this particular blood type?
Answer by essentiallysolo
blood types are genetically inherited, your daughter is O positive because her father is O positive, most kids inherit their father's blood type. The only significance is that if your daughter ever needs a blood transfusion, she needs to recieve O postive blood.

Some People Just Waste Money
If you are looking for tv deals than this is the time to do it, you can find all sorts of tv deals out there near christmas because they are trying to entice you into buying one for a family member when in reality we normally would not do that for someone on christmas. A tv is a big ticket item but they try to drag you in with that thirty or forty percent off and it is a shame but it actually works all to often on consumers these days. It is a shame that they try to use these tactics on us, but if we were in their shoes we would probably do the same exact thing.
But with the new tv you are going to have to start thinking about whether or not it is time to upgrade your television service to go along with it. I mean you can not have this nice new hd television and then have a telvision service that can not do anything with the hd capabilities. You would think that this would be obvious but so many americans out there have these nice hd tvs and then they are watching their tv in standard definition because they do not really know how the hd works or why it is important. I just want to yell at them that they shouldn't have bought an hd tv if they have no intention of using the hd part of it. It is pretty crazy to think about and I wish that it was not a problem but I work at a repair shop and so many people come in every day and say that their tv must not be working right because everything looks the same, I just look at them in disgust and ask if they are using hd stations. It is insane!Just Click Here

Diabetes Can Make Life Hard, These Tips Can Make It A Bit EasierClinical studies have proven that blood sugar levels are lowered by exercise, while sensitivity to insulin is heightened. Exercise is a healthy way to manage the levels of blood sugar. Vary your workout. Incorporate aerobic exercise and strength training.

Poker Games on the Internet
I have been playing poker for a couple of years pretty seriously and I am thinking about how I can get better at it, but without sticking my neck out too far as well. Of course we have online casinos everywhere and it is not that far to go play against live people at casinos. Here in North Carolina the closest one is up in the mountains at Cherokee, Harrah's has a pretty big casino up there that they run with the Cherokee Nation, or the Eastern Cherokee I guess. I do not know if they have anything to do with the Cherokee who were exiled to Oklahoma in the Trail of Tears thing. It is about a two and a half hour drive from where I live, if you are big on speed limits. After that I am not sure where you would go if you wanted to legally play against live people.

It was a heavy week for the WRs with Victor Cruz, Brandon Marshall and Jordy Nelson all performing well above their draft status. However, Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith, two studs, helped send their fantasy owners home in disgrace after not hurting their teams with poor performances. Make sure you know if your team is going to sit their players, like the Packers, as well as finding some of the hidden gems that are still available on waiver wires such as James Jones and Denarius Moore.
The studs
Packers WR Jordy Nelson (6-115-2 on seven targets) bounced back after a poor performance. This upcoming week, the team may rest him as they prepare for the playoffs, so make sure you have other choices available or pick up someone like James Jones (4-50-2 on six targets) or Randall Cobb (2-22-0 on three targets).
Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (6-105-1 on 11 targets) came alive in the fourth quarter this past week and ends most fantasy seasons with a phenomenal three-game average of 5.3 catches for 106.3 yards and 0.7 TDs. Next week he faces the Seahawks, but is a weekly start regardless.
Giants WR Victor Cruz (3-164-1 on eight targets) was elite in his fantasy numbers. After a Week 15 slump he bounced back with his second-best game of the season and has six games with 110 yards or more and eight TDs on the year. He's a must-start and will be highly ranked going into the season.
Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe (6-80-1 on 11 targets) seems like a lock to post this week's numbers regularly when he has a QB that can get him the ball. You have to wonder how good Bowe could be in an offense like the Eagles or Patriots. He's a quality start against the Broncos.
Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (1-20-0 on seven targets) — this is just what happens at times. A bad matchup mixed with an emerging WR in Cruz made it easy for QB Eli Manning to move on from Nicks. However, he's a quality fantasy play as teams will focus on Cruz at times leaving him some opportunities.
Steelers WR Mike Wallace (4-82-0 on seven targets) was the only beneficiary of QB Charlie Batch. Wallace may be the go-to-WR for Batch if he starts next week, giving him value against the Browns.
Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall (7-156-1 on 12 targets) blew up against the Patriots in Week One and did so again this past week. He now has three straight games with one TD and despite a poor Week 14 performance for fantasy owners, he's posted four games of 60 or more yards over the past five. He faces a tough matchup and could see CB Darrelle Revis most of the day in Week 17. However, he did go 6-109-0 against them in Week Six and QB Matt Moore throws to him. He's worth starting.
Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin (5-72-1 on six targets) has improved every game since his return in Week 14 and warrants a fantasy start next week against the Redskins after going 5-101 against them on seven targets in Week Six.
Panthers WR Steve Smith (1-9-0 receiving on three targets and 1-23-0 rushing) collapsed when his fantasy owners needed him most, but you can't blame him as this was a week the Bucs weren't going to let him beat them. You have to start him next week because in Weeks 14-15, he combined for 11-207-1 on 15 targets. He's too good to have this fluke game give you pause to bench him.
Gaining fantasy value or holding steady
Colts WR Reggie Wayne (8-106-1 on 14 targets) had an exceptional game in what could be his last home game for the Colts. He's expected to walk next year and is just four games removed from his Week 12 performance of 5-122-1 and has enough fantasy value in Week 17 to warrant legitimate consideration to start.
Titans WR Nate Washington (4-71-0 on 11 targets) proved many critics wrong by hanging in this season and ending the season strong. He has a three-game average of 5.7 catches for 87.7 yards and 0.7 TDs per game. He has a tough matchup against the Texans next week but warrants fantasy consideration.
Chargers WR Malcom Floyd (6-95-1 on 13 targets) took advantage of Vincent Jackson's groin injury to post his third-best fantasy game of the year and when it counted! If you removed his Week 14 performance (2-29-0) He has a three-game average of five catches for 99.7 yards and one TD and warrants a start going into Week 17. He was inactive earlier this year when the Raiders rolled into town.
Packers WR James Jones (4-50-2 on six targets) was this week's beneficiary of Aaron Rodgers and his gunslinger throws. All Packer WRs warrant a start depending on the size or how deep your league is. The problem is no one knows who will benefit. Jones is a viable start in Week 17 if the team begins to rest its starters.
Cardinals WR Andre Roberts (6-75-0 on 10 targets) now has two straight outstanding fantasy games. He also has two TDs in the last three games, but faces a strong Seahawks defense against opposing WRs in Week 17.
Titans WR Damian Williams (8-83-0 on 11 targets) matched Nate Washington for most targets and for the few that started him provided a solid game, and an outstanding game in PPR leagues with eight catches. If you remove his Week 15 performance (2-15-0), he has a three-game average from Week 13-16 of 4.7 catches for 69 yards and no TDs. However, he faces the Texans in Week 17 and could struggle. His status will be determined by your roster makeup.
Raiders WR Denarius Moore (4-94-1 on nine targets) will have these type of games and this is his third elite performance. However, he also has seven games of twenty yards or less, including two without a catch. He's your classic high-risk, high-reward player, but will have opportunities against the Chargers in Week 17.
Bears WR Roy Williams (6-81-0 on nine targets) made the most out of QB Josh McCown starting, but with a total of 3-31-0 on seven targets between Weeks 13-15, is he someone you want to risk your championship game on? It's a tough call as they face the Vikings in a meaningless game, but the matchup is there.
Minimum or diminishing fantasy value
Bengals WR A.J. Green (2-25-0 on eight targets) saw a high target count but couldn't maximize the opportunities. However, the team was leading by halftime and slowed it down in the second-half. Facing the Ravens next week, he always deserves fantasy consideration, even with his inconsistencies the past four weeks. Part of that is probably the shoulder injury he's been dealing with.
Bengals WR Jerome Simpson (5-42-1 on six targets) had the highlight reel catch of the season with a flip over the defender into the endzone and sticking it like a gymnast would. In fact, I've been watching football since 1975 as a little kid and can't remember such a unique move done that well. It was incredible to me more so than flashy how he literally stopped, flipped and stuck it! Simpson now has two TDs in three games, but his three-game average is three catches for 31.3 yards and 0.7 TDs on 5.7 targets. In larger leagues he warrants consideration.
Panthers WR Brandon LaFell (3-103-1 on three targets) averaged two targets per game and 1.2 catches per game from Weeks Five through 10. However, since Week 11 he's averaged 4.7 targets, so he has improved in the second half of the season. But it's not like you can confidently slot him against the Saints and assume a great game. View this one as a fluke, but his stock is rising with QB Cam Newton entering 2012.
Ravens WR Torrey Smith (2-38-0 on seven targets) wasn't able to capitalize with Anquan Boldin (knee) out. He retains his fantasy value heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Bengals. However, he has a four-game average of 3.5 catches for 48.8 yards but 0.5 TDs. Yardage is slow, but he's a favorite TD target for QB Joe Flacco as his deep speed allows for some potential playmaking bombs.
Bucs WR Mike Williams (4-39-0 on eight targets) has reverted back to his bust-play status after a great three-week run between Weeks 11-13. Since then, he has a three-week average of 2.3 catches for 24.7 yards and zero TDs. You can't trust him next week against the Falcons.

Hewlett-Packard on Monday introduced Gen8, its next generation of servers, which integrate new technologies designed to cut overall maintenance and power costs in data centers while maintaining high server uptimes.
Gen8 servers have new hardware and software technology for better performance-per-watt and a reduction in the manual labor involved in updating servers, HP said. The automatic updating and server load-balancing features will help save millions of dollars over a three-year span, HP said.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
The new servers address the need to balance limited space and provide more processing power in data centers, while curbing power costs. The servers include technologies resulting from a two-year, $300 million research program code-named Project Voyager, in which the company tried to find ways to automate data-center tasks and reduce costs. The project resulted in more than 900 patents and a new systems architecture called HP ProActive Insight architecture, the company said.
"We thought about what it would take to fundamentally rearchitect the server architecture" with Project Voyager, said Mark Potter, senior vice president and general manager at HP's Industry Standard Servers and Software group, during a speech at HP's Global Partner conference, which is being held in Las Vegas this week.
"In many ways, Project Voyager is our boldest mission yet," Potter said, where the goal was to build servers that would be able to "take care" of themselves depending on workloads.
The influx of data requires data centers to be more agile, Potter said. That is especially true in the cloud era, as the pressure on data centers will increase as more pictures are uploaded and searches are conducted.
The Project Voyager technologies help better deploy IT resources within a data center to make the most of the space, power and processing capabilities available, Potter said.
HP also has a separate project under way to reshape the server architecture called Project Moonshot, in which the company is tying its servers with Calxeda chips based on ARM processors to bring power and performance to cloud-related workloads.
The Gen8 servers will become generally available in March. HP did not provide full specifications of the servers, but earlier this month the company published initial details that they are multi-socket and based on Intel's upcoming E5 processors, whose announcement is expected soon. Gen8 servers will eventually replace the Proliant G7 family, which was introduced in 2010 and based on x86 processors from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
One of the new power-saving technologies is HP's 3-D Sea of Sensors, where overutilized servers are identified based on real-time location, power, workload and temperature data. Based on the data, system administrators can redirect workloads to ensure that servers are operating at the most peak efficiency. The new technology reduces the manual labor involved in monitoring power and cooling, according to HP.
The servers also include services to track power usage per rack and servers. Thermal Discovery Services improve airflow efficiency to cool servers. Over a three-year period, the new technologies can bring annual energy savings of up to $640,000, and save more than 30 days of administration time a year per person in a 10,000-square-foot data center, according to HP.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Town leaders in Oak Island have reached a settlement in an ongoing legal battle with former town manager Jerry Walters.
According to town clerk Lisa Stites, Oak Island attorney Brian Edes made the announcement Tuesday night after council went into closed session.
Walters sued the town after it refused to pay him his severance package. He claims Oak Island owes him more than $100,000. He was terminated in 2011 by a 4-1 vote.
According to Walter's employment contract, if he is terminated prior to the expiration of his agreement, the town will pay him either a lump sum cash payment equal to a year's salary or a year's salary broken down into 12 monthly payments equaling $116,000.
Details of the settlement will not be released until the paperwork is signed and official.
WECT.com reached out to Walter's attorney on Wednesday. Cory Reiss, of Shipman & Wright, LLP, said he had not heard of any settlement as of Wednesday morning.
This settlement comes days after the town attorney, council and clerk made a trip to Wilmington for mediation. According to Reiss, no settlement was reached on Friday after an entire day of mediation.

The Phoenix Suns jumped out to a big lead in the first half and held off two late charges by the Indiana Pacers in a win, 102-94. Goran Dragic was absolutely brilliant despite Indiana's Lance Stephenson logging a triple double.
Perhaps angry about his All-Star snub, Dragic led the Suns to a lead, 66-49, at halftime over the Pacers. Dragic racked up 21 points in the first two periods and the Pacers -- normally defensive stalwarts -- didn't seem to have an answer for him.
The Snub Also Rises— KJ_NBA (@KJ_NBA) January 31, 2014
Indiana started to fight its way back late in the third quarter. The Pacers pushed as they ratcheted up the defensive pressure, but Dragic and Markieff Morris wouldn't let the Suns lose their grip on a three-point lead as they entered the final quarter.
Leandro Barbosa and the Morris brothers came out firing as the Suns widened their lead to start the fourth quarter. Stephenson, another All Star snub, put up a triple-double but had to sit with foul trouble late in the game. Indiana again made push late but a Dragic dunk on the fastbreak with 44.8 seconds left sealed the win for the Suns.
Indiana was led by Roy Hibbert's 26 points, six rebounds and two blocks. Stephenson had 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Paul George logged 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting, 12 rebounds and four assists.
Dragic poured in 28 points on 11-of-21 shooting, adding seven assists. Both Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris were great off the bench, adding 15 and 16 points, respectively. Gerald Green scored 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting with four rebounds and two assists in his return to Indiana.
The win puts the Suns at 28-18, firmly in sixth place in the West. The loss moves Indiana to 35-10, three games ahead of the Miami Heat for first place in the East.

RICHMOND, Va. – Junior righthander Kyle Haynes and three relief pitchers teamed up to pitch a seven-hitter, leading Virginia Commonwealth University (9-5, 1-0) to a 6-3 Colonial Athletic Association win over the Tigers (5-6, 0-1) in the CAA opener for both teams at The Diamond on Friday evening.
The Rams, who jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings, won their fourth game in a row while snapping the Tigers' four-game winning streak.
VCU took advantage of an error in the bottom of the first inning to take a 3-0 lead. Sophomore centerfielder Bill Cullen led off the first by reaching base on an error by Tiger shortstop Hunter Bennett. When junior second baseman Jordan Weymouth singled and sophomore third baseman Joey Cujas drew a walk, the Rams had the bases loaded with no outs.
After junior righthander Michael Trionfo struck out junior first baseman Brent Mikionis, senior rightfielder Taylor Perkins stroked an RBI single to right field, giving VCU a 1-0 lead. Sophomore designated hitter Chris Ayers also singled, driving in Weymouth for a 2-0 advantage. A sacrifice fly by freshman shortstop Vimael Machin drove in Cujas for a 3-0 advantage. Trionfo finally escaped the inning when he retired senior catcher Kyle Sutherland on a fly ball to centerfield.
The Rams increased their lead to 5-0 by adding two runs in the second inning. With one out, Cullen reached base on an infield single. When Weymouth bunted for a hit, the Rams had two runners on base. Cujas gave VCU a 5-0 lead when he doubled down the leftfield line. Trionfo retired the next two hitters to strand Cujas on second base.
After being shut out on one hit through three innings, the Tigers broke through in the fourth inning. With one out, junior catcher Andrew Parker singled to left. Senior centerfielder Ben Winter grounded into a force play before freshman first baseman Brent Butler drew a walk. Freshman leftfielder Peter Bowles lined a single to left, driving in Winter to make it a 5-1 lead. Haynes pitched out of the jam when he retired junior third baseman Zach Fisher on a ground ball to second base.
The Rams loaded the bases with one out in the fifth inning but Trionfo got Sutherland to ground into an inning-ending double play.
In the seventh inning, Fisher led off with a triple to left center field. An infield single by Bennett drove in Fisher to cut the deficit to 5-2. A single by sophomore second baseman Pat Fitzgerald enabled Bennett to reach third base. Sophomore Brandon Gonnella's sacrifice fly scored Bennett to make it 5-3 before Parker walked. Sophomore Dominic Fratantuono hit into a force play. With the tying runs on base, junior lefthander Brennan Huelse relieved Haynes and struck out Winter.
The Rams extended their lead to 6-3 in the bottom of the seventh against freshman righthander Nick Cioffi. Cujas led off with a single and came around to score on a two-out single by Machin.
Facing junior relief ace Blake Hauser in the ninth inning, the Tigers staged a two-out rally. Gonnella reached base when he was hit by a pitch. Fratantuono struck out but reached base when strike three went to the backstop for a wild pitch. With two runners on base and two outs, Hauser nailed down the victory by striking out Parker.
Haynes earned his second victory of the season for the Rams by pitching 6.2 innings. He allowed three runs on seven hits with three walks and four strikeouts. The VCU bullpen finished up by throwing 2.1 hitless innings. Hauser earned his sixth save by striking out three in the ninth inning.
Trionfo came back strong from his shaky start and pitched six solid innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits. He walked two and struck out four. Cioffi gave up one run on two hits in one inning before senior righthander Tyler Austin threw one scoreless inning of relief.
The Rams outhit the Tigers by a 10-7 margin. Cujas led VCU with two hits and two RBI's. Fisher led the Tigers with two hits, including a triple.
Towson and VCU play the second game of their three-game CAA weekend series on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. at The Diamond.

JU rained out on Wednesday
The rain continued to wreak havoc on the JU football practice schedule, raining out a two-a-day practice on Wednesday.
To offset the lost time on the field, the Dolphins had two two-hour practices in the Davis College of Business with a walk-through practice.
"We did a lot of work on responsibilities and mentally focusing on what we need to do on each play in scenarios," said JU head coach Kerwin Bell. "While missing a day on the field hurts, it was good for our young guys to get them caught up with the veterans."
While there wasn't any contact, the Dolphins were able to accomplish more than they had hoped during a rain day.
"I'm pleased with how the guys came ready to learn in a classroom for football," Bell said. "I'm looking forward to seeing how they take that knowledge onto the field tomorrow when we have two practices."
FAN DAY SET FOR SATURDAY: The JU football team will take its show on the road this week as the Dolphins will scrimmage on Saturday afternoon at Plantation Park in the Julington Creek area. The Dolphins' "Fan Day" is built around the scrimmage, which will kick off at 1 p.m. Fans will be able to get T-shirts, purchase season tickets and food during the scrimmage with a chance to get autographs from the players afterwards.

There are a lot of good points made in this thread- pinning is dead sexy. And it's useful. But the one big tipping point for me that is often, the pin is a submission as well. Aside from the usefulness of crushing the wind out of some poor bastard with kesa gatame (eri gatame) and its kin, those are also nifty submissions.
You'll find that in the base position, all those basics- getting your head down, spreading your legs, "walking" it in- they all set up a nasty neck crank. Switching your position to a belly-down position and doing the same "walking" around also adds a ton of pressure to the crank.
Someone already mentioned that pinning should be active, not passive. That's exactly the right idea.

Mayweather Against Past Greats: Leonard, Hearns, and Duran, Set at Welterweight.

Mayweather vs. Hearns: Because of Tommy's power, there is a chance that he could hurt Floyd early and test him within the first four rounds. In which Hearns would have had the right hand to shock the world. Picture that if Judah was able to drop Floyd and what Mosley might have done if he had not been too nice in letting Floyd of the hook in that 2nd round. Tommy could blitz, Make it a 30% shot.
But from round 5 on, it's all Floyd. Hearns, despite his incredible boxing ability and power, often did not react well to being hit. Leonard, the best boxer Tommy ever fought was no great puncher and you saw that he had Hearns hurt in both of their fights. Floyd would pick and roll, use the elbows and would begin to find the range and take a close but unanimous decision. Maybe split, if there are knockdowns early scored by Hearns, that is IF Floyd could get by those first four rounds.
Mayweather vs. Duran: Duran's greatest was at lightweight and the first Leonard fight, and he would have to be at his Leonard I peek to beat Floyd on a decision. He could be like Castillo in the first fight. I would put that chance at 45%. HOWEVER, 55% says Floyd gets in Duran's head like Leonard did in the second Duran fight. A better chance is New Orleans all over again with Duran quitting as Floyd does what he wants and Duran's mind games go nowhere.
Mayweather vs. Leonard: A mastermind chess game with great boxing, combinations, and agility from both. Floyd is very good, but this time, he has found a grand master in Leonard who just does a little better, a little sharper in most of the rounds. It would be like Leonard-Hagler with Floyd being Hagler, where he just could not get off quite as well as Leonard, but it's very close. A hotly debated split decision goes to Ray, and Floyd complains about the loss when the topic is brought up, just like Hagler did against Leonard.
What are your calls?

From what I've seen, FMJ has a pretty decent chin but I dont know any fighters as of late, who has an "80's chin". Those dudes took all kinds of punches in their era, which may have surely contributed to their speech nowadays. No doubt in my mind that all 3 of these guys would be hell for Floyd, hands down. Mayweather/Hearns would be a wild one because Hearns is tall, with nasty reach, a nasty jab, and a "nighty night" right hand. As you said, Hearns didn't react well to punches, but Floyd's not a big puncher either...so his punches would probably more frustrating than anything.
A fight with Duran, would be just as dangerous, but at WW, Floyd would be able to get off a bit more and frustrate Duran in route to a decision. Sigh...Leonard...this would be Floyd's fight to lose. His defense and speed would be a factor, but I just dont see him pulling it off. Floyd's a better fighter than Sr., so I will give that much of an edge, but Leonard would be too much for him.
Of course Floyd's ability to slip punches and frustrate his opponents would be key in these fights, but my only concern is any of these guys landing punches on Floyd. These guys punched like nobody I've ever seen, whether it was blinding speed or concrete fists, they would pose a serious threat to Floyd.

Mayweather and Hearns will be competitive, but Mayweather will eventually neutralize Hearns' assets to a late stoppage. Hearns has a reach and height advantage, but Mayweather will be able to slip punches through his jab, and will eventually neutralize Hearns' jab and speed with accurate body shots. Hearns won't be able to keep the pace, to take that kind of punishment for 12 or 15 rounds straight. Hearns will of course be able to hit Mayweather, everyone can, but Mayweather would be smart and elusive enough to not let Hearns get a clean shot with his right. History has shown that Mayweather has slipped up against Corley, Judah, and Mosley at 140-147. There's always a possibility Hearns would hit Mayweather clean with a right. However, Mayweather even when being stumbled has been able to defend his way out of those situations.
Mayweather would most-likely box his way to a decision against Duran. Duran wouldn't just come forward into a wild brawl, ignoring punishment like Castillo, that's just not how he fights. Even thought there is a possibility because that wasn't usually how Castillo fought either lol (I also think it's dumb how people always bring the first Castillo fight for an excuse for any fighter that isn't very slick, and especially ignore the second fight, when both Mayweather and Castillo fought the exact same way. Mayweather just looked more sharp in the second fight, which is why he was able to convincingly win.) There's also a possibility Duran would get frustrated, like most of Mayweather's opponents, like he got frustrated against Leonard. We could see a stoppage, more-likely a corner stoppage.
Now Mayweather against Leonard. Mayweather has a defensive edge, and might be more sharper than Leonard. Leonard throws more combinations, and has the possible speed advantage. If it came down to a chess match, I would give this to Mayweather by close decision. Leonard however could play a chess match, while the same time bring the pressure. Those flurries would be too much for any normal human and would penetrate Mayweather's defense. Then afterwards it depends on what Leonard can connect with from there. IMO the most possible way Leonard could win this, is on activity. Mayweather has the habit of becoming too defensive and will sell rounds due to lack of activity. Leonard would take complete advantage of this. This could come down to going either way, like how I have with prime DLH vs Mayweather. But I still favor Mayweather to more-likely win somehow.
One last match-up, I know it isn't part of this thread, but it's in response to Pacquiao-Hearns. Hearns has shown he can't keep the pace, and gets shot down by hard shots, even from fighters who aren't big punchers. Pacquiao at 147 will be hurt but eat and survive Hearns' punches and will eventually catch Hearns to a late stoppage.

pretty simple for me
prime v/s prime
hearns v/s floyd ...floyd by majority decision
duran v/s floyd ... Duran by stoppage around rd 8
chavez v/s floyd at 140 ... floyd by ud, but Chavez damaged opponents when he hit them and he was suprising crafty and quick. Floyd would age alot as a fighter after this fight
Leonard v/s Floyd ... those who believe floyd is better defensively than leonard dont remember ray. His defense was more traditional, but no less effective. Leonard hit very hard when he chose to, and his speed, activity, footwork, inhuman balance and precision punching wouldnt allow floyd to sit back, shoulder roll and pot shot ray. Ray Leonard by UD 9-3.

I'm a die hard Mayweather fan but Hearns beats Floyd. You have to be real aggressive to beat Hearns and Floyd ain't that aggressive. The size and the jab would be too much and the right hand...we all know about Hearns right hand. Plus Hearns can flat out box.
Floyd neutralizes Duran for a ud win.
Leonard wins by decision. Too many flurries and plus Leonard knew how to look the part. He knew how to look like he was winning. De La Hoya lost by split decision to Floyd off aggression alone and I think Leonard schools Oscar. Floyd is the man but those fighters in the 80's were a different monster.

Put it like this...Floyd pot shots bigger opponents for the win like Badamir and De la Hoya. What would Hearns, Duran and Leonard have done to Baldimir, Judah, Castillo or anyone else Floyd has fought. The 80's was rough.

Wrong!!! If Hearns fought a hit and get hit style he would have been knocked out more than 3 times. Those guys would have been too active for Floyd.
No matter how good someone's defense is ...everyone is vulnerable while they're punching and pot shotting wouldn't have got it done. Floyd would have lost the decision.

A Very Disappointing Experience 30/10/12
Retuning to Cinnamon Club for the first time in several years was a great dissappointment.
The food remains a strong point, although the portions seem mean for the prices charged. The decor, however is tired in the extreme, the acoustics dreadful. Service was off-hand, rushed and occasionally rude.
A near-£250 bill (with one bottle and two glases of mid-priced wine and the obligatory 'service' charge) for a meal for two, rushed upon us in an hour and fifteen mins was a total waste of money.
I fear it has become a haunt for a loud expense account crowd who do not care much for their dining experience as long as it is a 'destination' restaurant; after all, someone else is paying.
Shall not return, even after several more years!

Mass customization is what makes Chocomize so unique. With over 10 billion possible combinations, almost every chocolate bar we produce is a distinct and new combination. Chocomize is proud to say that we are the first US company to specialize in mass customization of chocolate bars (i.e. allowing customers to choose their own ingredients) but we did not invent the term, far from it. This blog post explores the evolution of mass customization and its importance in everyday life.
Mass production, or the ability to produce large amounts of uniform products, first became popular around the turn of the 20th century. Henry Ford used the concept to produce high quality and inexpensive vehicles starting as far back as 1910. One of the flaws of mass production, however, was that the final product was always the same, and any deviation or customization was minimal. It wasn't until midway through the 1980's that the term 'mass customization' was first used and became in vogue.
Stanly Davis is credited with first using the term in 1987. The basic idea of mass customization is the ability for custom products to be produced on a scale, as well as price, similar to mass production. Although this concept seems almost obvious and inevitable in today's world, true mass customization would never have been possible without the internet, computerization, as well as other technologies that would have been inconceivable almost fifty years ago.
Mass customization is thought of having four types: adaptive, collaborative, cosmetic, and transparent.
-Adaptive customization refers to manufactures mass producing a standardized product that can be altered, or customized, once it was in the hands of the consumer. An example of this would be an office chair where many of the settings such as seat back, seat height, etc., can be altered by the user.
-Collaborative customization occurs when customers have explicit input on the final product being offered. Our custom chocolate bars are an example of this type of customization. Our customers can visit our website and design a chocolate bar to fit their specific desires. The final product, which we hand make, is a direct result of collaboration with the consumer (and would be impossible on a large scale without the advent of such technologies as the internet.)
-Cosmetic customization occurs when manufactures produce a single product but market it to different consumers in different ways. For instance a cell phone company might market their phone to teenagers by saying that it's perfect for instant messaging with their friends, while market the same phone to professionals by saying that it is great for downloading business files. Although the cell phone company is only producing one type of phone, by marketing it in different ways it is attempting to personalize the phone to different groups of people, and this is thought of as a form of customization.
-Transparent customization occurs when manufactures provide consumers with a unique product without the collaboration of the customer. The customer's preference is assessed by a service worker, and the product is adjusted to fit their needs without their knowledge.
These four types of mass customization are all different and unique ways that firms can meet the constant fluctuation of consumer's desires.
In the years since technology has made mass customization available, companies have been able to use the theory to their benefit while others have used it to their detriment. Successful examples include Dell's 'build to order' program where consumers can go to their website and choose the different components for their computer. Another example is the tourist industry and the rise of travel agents. Although these businesses do not provide a tangible product, customers can design their own unique custom trip that is tailored to their specific needs and desires.
Not all companies have been successful into the forays of mass customization. Cannondale is a perfect example. In the early part of the decade they claimed that consumers could customize their own bikes by choosing different frames, colors, etc. Although in theory this might be a good idea, the technology did not exist to make it cost efficient for the company, and this foray into mass customization was ultimately one of the reasons it ended up filing for bankruptcy.
In a lot of ways, mass customization for food has existed for many years without modern technologies. Ordering a sandwich at the local deli, for instance, is an example of where the customer can choose the components to create a unique product (i.e. choosing turkey instead of roast beef, mayonnaise instead of ketchup.) It seems obvious why mass customization for food is so desirable. Beyond the fact that everyone has their own unique tastes and palate, mass customization is becoming increasingly important as nutritional science becomes more developed. As people become increasingly conscious about their health and specific dietary needs, mass customization of food becomes almost a necessity. People suffering from Celiac's disease, for instance, need to be able to customize their diet to exclude foods with any trace of gluten.
So where does Chocomize fit into all of this? If you go back to the four different types of mass customization, Chocomize participates in collaborative customization. Whether it is through our website, e-mail, or phone, we work directly with the customer to customize a chocolate bar that fits their specific needs. We can customize a chocolate bar in many different ways. The first is allowing people to choose the type of Belgian chocolate they want, milk, dark, or white. The second way is giving people the choice of over 100 different ingredients. And although this makes for over 10 billion possible combinations (talk about unique) we like to think the possibilities are unlimited. Why? Customers can suggest ingredients that aren't even on the menu. This makes almost anything possible…
Another way Chocomize is a form of collaborative customization (which we think is the best and most important type) is that we can create custom images and logos for both our packaging and chocolate bar itself. Whether it is a wedding favor, corporate gift, or any other special event, this option is popular for larger bulk orders.
We like to think that we are on the forefront of not just mass customization for food, but mass customization in general. We find the evolution of mass production and mass customization fascinating and can't wait to see what the future holds!

Iran raised the official death toll for the December 26 earthquake in the southeastern city of Bam to 41,000, as a close aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the final figure could hit 45,000, state media reported on Friday.
"In this incident, up until now 41,000 of the people of Bam have been killed, and there is a possibility that this could increase to 45,000. This is a great catastrophe," Mohammad Mohammadi-Gholpayghani was quoted as saying by the news agency IRNA.
Khamenei arrived in the earthquake-stricken city Friday for the second time to hold talks with local officials regarding the work done so far and future plans.

Carmageddon was surrounded by huge controversy. A game about mowing down innocent race cars and getting points for it was not exactly something the world was prepared for back when it released. However, all this noise just made everyone talk about this title even more and it's evident that behind all this fuss there is actually an extremely fun game with very unique and crazy gameplay. Now you can experience it for yourself in its full, original, glory.

Racing games always have a few things in common: The best graphics, fast cars modeled after real life, and a track or road where, if you drive off it, you are penalized in some way.
In Carmageddon, the graphics weren't the best, even at the time of release. Cars are modeled more toward concept cars meet demolition derby. You have a track, but there is no penalty for drivingread more off. You could even win the race by just sitting at the starting line and waiting. How could that be? Well you'd wait and demolish all the other cars as they finished laps. If there are no more cars you're the winner!
This is a racing game that rewards those who think outside the track. You can buy new cars, each with certain traits, as you race your way to the end. I have to say there is a certain satisfaction in mowing down endless pedestrians on your quest to destroy all cars.
Yes you can race, like a normal game, and finish first. You don't have to destroy other cars or go homicidal on innocent bystanders, but why would you do that? This game is about good ol' fashion winning, and I'm not talking about your Grandpa. I mean push the other kids out the sandbox and kick over all their toys makes YOU the winner ol' fashion. So why the hell are you still reading this review? Carmageddon is starting. Get out there knock over some innocents and show everyone who's the king of racing.

The game that became Carmageddon started out as "3D Destruction Derby", a banger racing sim prototyped by Stainless Software. This was signed by SCi in 1995, but the banger-racing angle was soon dropped and for a while the game was to use the Mad Max license. This fell through, and was replaced by the Death Race 2000 license, as a sequel to the original film was at that time plannedread more (it eventually emerged as a comic book).[2] This introduced the running-over of pedestrians into the game. When this license also fell through, SCi and Stainless took the decision to proceed with the game anyway, creating their own IP. The name "Carmageddon" was coined, and development proceeded with the designers allowed unusually free rein with regard to the content of the game.
With that said this is pure insta-buy!

I first played this great stuff at my age of 12 and I was very amazed. Why? Because I had never seen a driving/car game before. I tried several old-school softwares concerned with racing, however, they were very boring to me. But Carmageddon meant revolution, at least for me. This was the first 3D racing game in which you shouldn't have had to go circuits and keep the rules of drivingread more competitions. Furthermore, you could kill whoever you want - with your vehicle. Although I'm not a psychopath, I really enjoyed to crash innocent football players or streetwalkers. On the other hand, I understood the main goal of Carmageddon: you have to make as many car as possible get wrecked and win the 'race' by destroying everyone and don't let the wreck you totally. It was very revolting experience after Need for Speed where you could not even crash your car if you collapsed into anything. And the former driving 'simulators' or arcade racing stuffs were so linear. In spite of these earlier car games Carmagedden gave you huge freedom and lots of fun.
However there have been several products which wanted to beat and copy Carmageddon (like Crashday) but I think it and its second sequel Carpocalpyse Now are still the king of 'freelancer' arcade car games. If you haven't tried it then, it is time now!
And of course thanks to GOG that it has released Carma at last!

KANSAS CITY -- With catcher Salvador Perez out for perhaps half the season, the Royals are going with a Humberto Quintero-Brayan Pena combination behind the plate and manager Ned Yost likes the way it's working out.
Quintero has been catching three starters -- Danny Duffy, Jonathan Sanchez and Luke Hochevar -- and Pena has been working with the other two, Bruce Chen and Luis Mendoza.
"The reason I like that is, when you've got an everyday catcher, you've got a chance to build some rapport with your pitcher from time to time to time," Yost said.
"If you've got two guys that are going to catch I think it's more important to put them with the [same] guys so they develop that relationship. They know what worked last time, they know what didn't work and they start to think with them and it just makes it easier."
Quintero, acquired from the Astros late in Spring Training, is getting used to his new surroundings and to his part-time schedule.
"I've done it before when I played two, three or four times a week. Sometimes I played every day, so I'm available to do everything," Quintero said. "I feel comfortable right now."
Pena, a switch hitter, has a good reputation with a bat so his .304 (7-for-23) average isn't unexpected. But Quintero, known more for his defense, went into Sunday's game against the Blue Jays with a .320 (8-for-25) mark that included four doubles and three RBIs.
"He's been pretty impressive with the bat so far, he's been a bit of a surprise," Yost said.
Holland does not have stress fracture in ribs
KANSAS CITY -- The Royals got good news on Sunday regarding pitcher Greg Holland's bone scan on his ribs.
"He's clear, it was clear," manager Ned Yost said. "So it's the stress reaction -- I don't know all these scientific words, for me it's a bone bruise. There's not a stress fracture there, which is good news because that would've taken longer, so this is going to be a lot quicker process."
Yost said that Holland will be shut down for five days, then go back on a throwing program, but it might be three weeks before he can get back to pitching.
Holland was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday after an MRI revealed the rib stress reaction.
Jeffress returns to Royals with new approach
KANSAS CITY -- Right-hander Jeremy Jeffress, who replaced injured Greg Holland in the Royals' bullpen, feels he's matured as a pitcher since he was last with the Kansas City club a year ago.
"I've gotten more mature and I've changed my mechanics but it's all about maturity in the mind. It's all about going after hitters and not backing down," Jeffress said.
Commanding his blazing fastball has been an ongoing challenge for Jeffress, and too many bases on balls led to his problems last year with the Royals and after he was sent to the Minors.
But Jeffress has improved his control, he's also added a slider to his fastball, curve and changeup, and then there's that new outlook.
"Maturing pitching-wise, developing that state of mind of just going after hitters, pitching inside. You pitch inside you might throw a ball as well but just going inside, pounding the zone and keeping the ball down -- that's what I've been doing lately," Jeffress said.
He's doing more thinking and not just out there throwing hard, he said. But have the changes taken anything off his fastball?
"I don't think I've lost any velocity," he said. "It has a tendency to sink and the movement is better, even if it's not as hard."
Jeffress saw his first action since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays and took a hard shot off his pitching arm in the ninth inning. The ball ricocheted to third baseman Mike Moustakas who threw out batter Jose Bautista.
After taking some throws to test his arm, Jeffress stayed in the game, but gave up a double and a walk, and was relieved by Aaron Crow.

What attacks on oil pipelines have in common with epidemicsEnergy and Environment
How susceptible is the global energy infrastructure to attacks by non-state actors? Has the number of attacks on this infrastructure actually increased of late? Which regions of the world are especially vulnerable? And which tactics do the attackers use? Scientists are looking to find the answers to these and other related questions with the aid of a database developed by researchers from the Center of Security Studies at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI.

Insulator makes electrons move in an ordered wayMedia Releases Research Using Synchrotron Light Materials Research Matter and Material
Researchers at the PSI, the EPFL and the Chinese Academy of Science, have proven that the material SmB6 shows all the properties of a so called topological insulator – a material with electric currents flowing along its surface with all of them being polarized. Here, the property is very robust, i.e. the only current that can flow is spin polarized and is not easily destroyed by small irregularities in the structure or composition of the material. Spin polarized currents are necessary for spintronics, electronics using the electrons' spin.

Hydrogen: a Trojan horse in fuel-rod cladding tubesEnergy and Environment Nuclear Power Plant Safety
In nuclear reactors, water is dissociated at the surface of the hot fuel elements, thereby producing hydrogen. This hydrogen can penetrate the fuel cladding surrounding the actual fuel and weaken it mechanically. Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have been using neutrons and synchrotron radiation to study how the hydrogen gets into the cladding tube and what impact it can have once inside.

A dark state sheds lightEnergy and Environment
The molecule dicarbon (C2) is present in all flames where a carbon-containing fuel is combusted. C2 burns visibly, is behind the blue colour inside a candle flame and could also play a key role in the formation of soot. Now, for the first time, scientists from the Paul Scherrer Institute have rendered a previously invisible C2 energy state, a so-called dark state, visible. Not only is its discovery interesting for combustion researchers; it also solves a century-old puzzle in the spectrum of this omnipresent molecule.

Ice in fuel cells imaged directly for the first timeMedia Releases Energy and Environment Research Using Neutrons
Researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have succeeded in imaging the distribution of frozen and liquid water in a hydrogen fuel cell directly for the first time. They applied a new imaging technique that uses successively two beams with different neutron energies to distinguish between areas with liquid water and those with ice extremely reliably. The method therefore opens up the prospect of studying one of the main problems of using fuel cells to power vehicles: ice can clog the pores in the fuel cells and affect their performance. The PSI scientists' results will be published in the journal Physical Review Letters on 16 June 2014.

From amateur firework-maker to battery researcherEnergy and Environment
Portrait of PSI doctoral student Patrick Lanz
Patrick Lanz already discovered a fascination with the world of science and technology during his school days. As an electrical engineer, his father had a decent selection of electronics sets for him to tinker with. However, the young Patrick did not merely content himself with remote-controlled cars. He set about systematically disassembling his toys in a quest to find out how they worked. Later, Lanz also began opening small batteries because he wanted to understand "what went on inside" – probably the first step on the path to his present role as a battery researcher.

New insight into photosynthesisMedia Releases Biology Research Using Neutrons Large Scale Facilities
The way that algae and plants respond to light has been reinterpreted based on results from recent experiments. Under particular lighting conditions during photosynthesis, the well-ordered stacking and alignment of light-sensitive membranes in the algae are disrupted. There is no significant movement of the membrane embedded light harvesting proteins, which rather become largely inactive. These new findings challenge widely accepted views of how algae respond to light where the light harvesting proteins were thought to move around the membranes.

Big building on a millimetre scaleSwissFEL SwissFEL Construction
For the electrons to reach the necessary energy level, their path in the linear accelerator needs to be absolutely straight. Even the slightest bend means a loss of energy, which the comparatively short SwissFEL linear accelerator cannot afford. Consequently, even the earth's curvature needs to be balanced out while constructing the building, which not only requires state-of-the-art measurement technology, but also continuous monitoring.

Unassuming rampant polluters on two wheelsMedia Releases Energy and Environment Environment
In some towns small mopeds cause more air pollution than cars
Not cars or trucks, but mopeds with their two-stroke engines are the main source of fine particles and other air contaminants in many towns in Asia, Africa and southern Europe. This is revealed by the study of an international research team headed up by researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. The reasons for the high emissions are the combustion properties in two-stroke engines and the overly lenient emission requirements for small two-wheelers. The study findings are to be published on 13 May 2014 in the journal Nature Communications.
