NYC officers shot on subway released from hospital
Two police officers shot and wounded during a gun battle on a New York City subway train were released from the hospital Friday, as authorities identified the man who opened fire and was later killed.
Associated Press
Two police officers shot and wounded during a gun battle on a New York City subway train were released from the hospital Friday, as authorities identified the man who opened fire and was later killed.
Police said Peter Jourdan, 37, of Allentown, Pa., passed between subway cars while the train was moving, which is illegal, shortly before 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
As the train pulled into the Brooklyn station, plainclothes officers Michael Levay and Lukasz Kozicki asked Jourdan for his identification, and instead he pulled out a handgun and opened fire, police said.
Kozicki was struck three times and Levay had a graze wound to his back but was able to return fire, killing Jourdan, police said. A passenger also suffered a graze wound in the chaos, while others ran for cover on the platform when the gunfire erupted, police said.
There were no other injuries.
Jourdan had been arrested at least seven other times, including once in Los Angeles for bringing a gun to court.
Both Levay, 27, and Kozicki, 32, were released from the hospital Friday.
The subway shooting was the second of two Thursday involving police officers.
Off-duty Police Officer Juan Pichardo was shot in the thigh at his family's Bronx car dealership during a robbery at about 6:30 p.m.
Pichardo was working off-duty at the car dealership when two men, one armed with a handgun, entered while two other men waited outside in a getaway car, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
After the two feigned interest in buying a car, one of them pulled out a handgun and ordered Pichardo and an employee onto the floor in a back office and started to ransack the place.
Pichardo grabbed gunman Jeffrey Okine, who fired and struck the officer in the thigh, police said. Although wounded, Pichardo and the other employee wrestled the gunman to the ground and disarmed him. The accomplice, Tyquez Harrell, fled in the getaway car with the two others, Marquis Daniels and Rayshaun Jones, but they were stopped a short distance away and arrested, police said.
The four men were arrested on charges of attempted murder, robbery and assault. They were in custody and unavailable for comment, and it wasn't clear if they had attorneys.
A person who answered the phone at the address listed for Okine said he hadn't heard about the charges. There were no listed phone numbers for the other three.
It wasn't clear when Pichardo would be released from the hospital.
Last year, 11 officers were struck by gunfire on duty and one off-duty, though none were fatal.
The violence this week came after news of record low violent crime in the city. There were 418 murders in 2012, the lowest since reliable record keeping began in 1963. The previous low was 471, in 2009.

Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO, ranked eighth on Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business - has become one of America's most galvanizing leaders, and an icon for millions of women juggling work and family. In Lean In, she urges women to take risks and seek new challenges, to find work that they love, and to remain passionately engaged with it at the highest levels throughout their lives.
Lean In - Sheryl Sandberg's provocative, inspiring book about women and power - grew out of an electrifying TED talk Sandberg gave in 2010, in which she expressed her concern that progress for women in achieving major leadership positions had stalled. The talk became a phenomenon and has since been viewed nearly 2,000,000 times. In Lean In, she fuses humorous personal anecdotes, singular lessons on confidence and leadership, and practical advice for women based on research, data, her own experiences, and the experiences of other women of all ages. Sandberg has an uncanny gift for cutting through layers of ambiguity that surround working women, and in Lean In she grapples, piercingly, with the great questions of modern life. Her message to women is overwhelmingly positive. She is a trailblazing model for the ideas she so passionately espouses, and she's on the pulse of a topic that has never been more relevant.
©2013 Sheryl Sandberg; ©2013 Random House Audio
Professor at Federal University of Uberlândia (Brazil). I love romances and thrillers. Feel free to send me e-books suggestions!
"Great book!"
I really enjoyed this book, it helped me to believe that is possible to balance work, motherhood and marriage. Moreover, the greatest teaching was the issue of potential to learn instead of previously experience.
Sheryl's assessment of women in the workforce is informed, level headed and a relief to see articulated.
"Not for the Single Woman With No Family"
If you're a working mother looking for a book to make you feel good about your choice this is the book for you. Being a single career woman with no family to feel bad about neglecting, it was not the book for me. There are a few pieces of good advice regarding communicating and negotiating in a male-dominated workplace but, for the most part, this book goes on an on about a guilt-free mindset for those women who have chosen to put career ahead of family.
"Inspirational and relatable"
Sheryl Sandberg is so "real". Her book is amazing, really, and I was surprised by how much it mapped to a lot of the things in my life, and it opened my eyes up to biases within myself and society that before I hadn't noticed.
No, I listened to a little bit of it every day on my commute
This book is an absolute must have, for any woman (working or not), and preferably also for every man who wants to live in a more fair, balanced and productive world. I finished the book and decided immediately that I want to listen to it again!
"Applys to all. Keep an open mind."
This book was inspiring. Applys to all women in all walks of life. Encourages women to strive for more whether that be in the home or in the workplace or both. Great reader as well.
"Interesting, insightful, and thought provoking."
I am still trying to process fully my feelings about this book. It certainly has gotten me thinking. Much can be taken, and adapted to many different situations. I ponder how my career decisions have shaped my life, and how they could have differed. Changes to judging and being judged start small.
"Wonderful book; everyone should read this!"
Sheryl Sandberg is an inspirational leader who wants to change the world--I think she just might!
"Really appreciate this book."
Sheryl Sandberg is exactly my age, so I identify with many of her struggles. She writes passionately about why women do not seek and have difficulty attaining leadership positions. She does not blame women, or say that everyone needs to make the same decision she did. I am familiar with a lot of the research she cites, but then she takes the extra step to make recommendations. I am in the academic world, not business, but I know I will put this book to good use in my own career. If you are a mother, wife, daughter, husband or father...consider this book!
"Great book, with the wrong narrator."
I am buying this book for my adult daughters and daughter-in-law. The author understands the problems of women in the workforce and highlights them with interesting anecdotes and plenty of statistics. Best of all, she offers concrete advice.
I am not recommending the audiobook. The narrator does not have the voice of a mature, professional woman. She sounds as if she wants to turn every statement into a question, but knows she shouldn't. She reads clearly and can be funny; she just sounds too high pitched and girlish. I can imagine genres for which her reading would work (YA fiction, chick lit, zombie novels). Her voice is not right for a serious, adult book like this one.
Read the book!
"Excellent advice from a really smart woman"
Direct Kind Smart
My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor because she, too, is a smart woman who worked hard and defied stereotypes to achieve exceptional success.

Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was racked by civil wars from 1996 to 2003 and the violence claimed nearly five million lives — a death toll unseen since World War II.
Although there have been numerous agreements reached and many lulls in fighting, violence in DRC is ongoing and civilians in the Eastern provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, and Orientale bear the worst of the worst. Mass killings, rape as a weapon of war, and torture have all been reported.

12th Annual FDA Science Forum Scheduled
FDA Veterinarian Newsletter September/October 2005 Volume XX, No V
Each year since 1993, the FDA Science Forum has served as an important venue for communication between FDA scientists and stakeholders on scientific topics of vital regulatory concern.
This is the exclusive annual event at which scientists from all disciplines and organizational components of FDA meet with their counterparts from industry and academia to share data, knowledge, and ideas on the science-based mission of the Agency.
This year's Science Forum will take place April 18-20 at the Washington, DC, Convention Center. This year's Science Forum features plenary presentations by leaders of the academic and public health communities, numerous general sessions, and a poster session, which will provide an excellent environment for an open discussion of how emerging science and technology can be effectively applied in support of the FDA's national public health mission.
FDA is the first scientific agency in the world to have been transformed into a full-fledged regulatory agency. At the Agency's Centennial and at the Science Forum, it is important to revisit that investment in regulatory science and communicate not only the tangible results of that investment, but highlight the process by which that original commitment to high quality scientific achievement will translate into the future of science at FDA.
The 2006 FDA Science Forum offers a valuable opportunity for industry and academia to learn about FDA's science programs, collaborative opportunities, and regulatory priorities. For more information, please see www.fda.gov/scienceforum.

↵Coach firing season always hurts the schadenfreude available because teams on the receiving end of humiliating beatings or yet another last-second loss make quick goodbyes and turn their attention to who the next savior will be. But the economic downturn has provided another source by forcing schools to keep total failures around long enough for their buyouts to be manageable. ↵↵
↵Colorado is the first school to suck it up. Fans are preparing to watch INTRAMURALS next year, but not before shredding ↵the press release announcing Hawkins' return: ↵
↵⇥-"While Colorado is 3 - 8 this year, three of the losses were by seven points or less." ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Are you kidding me? Was this really written? Was this what they prepared to win the fan base over with? This was the masterful comment that was going to rally the masses and make us go, "yes, I agree with the decision and support the University." Really, that is the best we can do? Will all the academic prowess in Boulder, this is it? … ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥I am surprised the release didn't say the Colorado Buffaloes were competitive against Toledo when they won third quarter 21 - 14. ↵⇥↵
↵And this is without question the greatest malapropism in the history of the internet, emphasis mine.: ↵↵
↵⇥This is absolutely incredible.....So NOW, if Hawk wins half his games next year (If this is true) it will be seen as an improvement and be hired again for the next year!? Absolutely unexceptible!!! I'm actually speechless.......... ↵⇥↵
↵"Speechless" seems like a good idea, actually. Colorado wins the Tears of Unfathomable Sadness without the loss against Nebraska even factoring in. The rest of the week in spleen after the jump. ↵↵ ↵
BIG TEN↵
↵…had the week off except for Illinois doing better than expected against Cincinnati. ↵↵
↵Meanwhile, at Notre Dame they're mostly in OMG STOOPS mode but with Jimmy Clausen's career presumably at an end, John Walters—of all people—has brought out the knives for Clausen. Clausen gets punched in the eye, has a brilliant performance against Stanford, and Walters goes ↵off on him: ↵↵
↵⇥Notre Dame will miss the man with the golden arm -- not to mention the Golden ↵⇥Tate -- but it will hardly miss the drama, the privileged existence or the entourage that defined Clausen's three seasons. Clausen was his typically brilliant self on Saturday night -- 23 of 30 for 340 yards and five touchdown passes without a turnover -- but "to be honest," there has rarely been a time in Clausen's three years in South Bend when it was felt that Clausen was being honest. Or genuine. ↵⇥↵
↵Dude! Walters cites the secret shoulder surgery before his freshman year that turned Clausen's arm into a noodle and wasn't confirmed until the following summer, blaming Clausen for a sleight of hand that was undoubtedly Weis' doing and is standard operating procedure for secretive coaches nationwide. He also suggests that getting punched in the face is a suspendable offense: ↵↵
↵⇥How many others could be involved in an off-campus altercation and yet be allowed to start on Saturday night devoid of any public explanation as to the circumstances surrounding the blackened left eye or even whether they would be held to some level of -- and here's another buzz word from this miserable month -- "accountability"? ↵⇥↵
↵In between, he trashes Clausen for eating pizza with his family after the game. After, he suggests that Clausen missed on the opportunity to acquire a "true sense of [the] unique college experience" at Notre Dame. I'm beginning to wonder if Walters himself is the secret puncher. ↵↵
↵Clemson managed to blow a satisfying nine-win season in Dabo Swinney's first outing in an uncompetitive loss to South Carolina that was 24-7 before the offense finally got on the board in the fourth quarter—the seven was a C.J. Spiller kickoff return touchdown. ↵In doing this, Clemson proves that there is such a thing as program ↵momentum: the Tigers' ability to turn any indication they might be rounding into top-10 form into a disappointing loss to a team under .500 in its conference goes beyond Bowden or Swinney into the very silly purple fabric of the program itself. ↵↵
↵This one, though, is a little ↵different. Clemson has had solid control over Carolina for a long time: ↵↵
33 ↵⇥IM A MAN IM FORTY on Nov 29, 2009 at 6:55 pm:↵⇥
↵⇥Ich bin ein gamecock. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Now I know what it feels to be truly a gamecock – dominated and demoralized. First time in many moons where the orange folks left the stadium before the garnet folks. ↵⇥↵
↵Not so much this time. ↵↵
BIG EAST↵
↵The only result of note was West Virginia slipping by Pitt; even another crushing Louisville loss was no fun because Kragthorpe got ↵axed immediately afterward, causing Card Chronicle to declare Louisville's "short, regional nightmare" over. ↵↵
↵Stray Panther fans looking for someone to blame can look squarely upon Chas from Pitt Blather: ↵↵
↵⇥I really don't believe in omens, portents and anything on a personal level impacting or influencing the outcome of the game. That said, I do have an irrational sense of guilt over this. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Most of the season I have had at least one dollop of good bourbon (okay, usually more especially when tailgating). Most of the season it has been the recently resurrected Michter's ↵⇥bourbon — at least in name. ↵⇥… I stopped at a liquor store — to much eye-rolling from my wife. Ran in and this liquor store did not have it. … ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥It was already getting close to 6 and in the car was my mom, wife and son. There was really no rational or sane way for me to drive them to another liquor store in search of a particular bourbon. I mean, how do explain that without seeming like a complete loon and/or someone with a potential drinking problem? So, I "settled" for Maker's Mark which got me through most of last year. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥And, well, we all know what happened to the game. On the plus side, I have finally clipped my toenails. ↵⇥↵
↵So it wasn't a total loss, then. Just don't tell various ↵commenters this: ↵↵
↵⇥If Pitt can't beat WVU, how on earth will they compete with Cincinnati? It's gonna be a blow out. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥9-3, with back-to-back losses. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Meineke Car Car Bowl. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Oh boy … ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Comment by Typical 11.27.09 @ 10:27 ↵⇥pm ↵⇥↵
↵And then there's this ↵wag: ↵↵
↵⇥Maybe Michigan will make an offer to Wannstedt now? ↵⇥↵
↵Em… I think they may be wary of Big East coaches at the moment. ↵↵
BIG TWELVE↵
↵Oklahoma State was angling for a BCS bid if they could pull one out against reeling, 6-5 Oklahoma. Here's how that worked out: ↵↵
↵ ↵↵
↵And here's what one Oklahoma State fan's excellent ↵suggestion is for the future of the program: ↵↵
↵⇥ Hire Coach Weiss for an upgrade ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥The threshold question Mike Holder and the Alums are using is the wrong question. We shouldn't be looking at how well we have performed or recruited. To do so is to overlook the obvious which is that we would be doing this well recruiting and playing under anyone, likely including Charlie Weiss. ↵⇥↵
↵Please let this happen. I will pay ten dollars to T. Boone Pickens if he will hire Charlie Weis. ↵↵
↵Though a dismal shutout was the expected course of things for Washington State, let's spare a thought for a program so thoroughly beaten that this ↵is the reaction to the season's merciful conclusion: ↵↵
↵⇥SEASON ↵⇥OVER!!!!! … ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥…WE WON A FOOTBALL GAME THIS YEAR! Followers, when a team makes it through an entire season without leading once while the clock is running, its a MIRACLE to have won a game. And we did. Which leads me to point #4. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥4) NOW MORE THAN EVER, THE 2008 WASHINGTON HUSKIES ARE THE BIGGEST DISGRACE IN THE HISTORY OF THE PAC-10. ↵⇥↵
↵You'll always have that overtime win over SMU in which you were outgained by 228 yards, Cougars, and that makes you slightly less repugnant than last year's Washington squad. ↵↵
↵So, really, it wasn't that bad a weekend for Washington State fans. ↵They're done for another year and things can't get worse next year. ↵UCLA, now there's a school that had a terrible weekend. ↵Basketball teams are normally outside the scope of this column, but UCLA went 0-3 in their holiday tournament this year, losing to Portland, Butler, and Long Beach State. Yeah. They're not good. On the football field, Pete Carroll responded to a pointless timeout during kneel-down time with an equally pointless touchdown bomb that nearly led to a brawl. ↵↵
↵Bruins Nation, as you might expect, is taking ↵it well: ↵↵
↵⇥Not surprisingly Chetey Petey being the hypocritical, SCumbag that he is poured it on when the game was already decided with a long bomb to the endzone (I wonder if Pom Pom's lapdogs - Bill Splashme or the TJ Slimers - will be crying about sportsmanship tomorrow). There is not much to say about that TD at this point because we know Chetey's true colors and what a classless jerk throughout his stained, corruption tainted career in South Central. ↵⇥↵
↵And after that they decided they'd leave it ↵alone: ↵↵
↵⇥N found this first but it deserves as much attention as possible. ↵⇥Seth Davis says what we have all known: ↵⇥↵⇥

Who Else Wants to Learn About The Apple iPad Air 2?
by admin • • 0 Comments
Apple is planning a brand new iPad Air 2 tablet computer with a 9.7-inch display and a new iPad mini 3 tablet computer with a 7.9-inch display for an occasion and vacation launch according to many rumours. Apple's high resolution Retina Display will be featured by these two devices and the iPad Air 2 could comprise a fresh coating which makes it more easy to use outdoors.
Bloomberg reports that Apple suppliers already are making the iPads for 2014, including the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3. These are not the state names of the new iPads, but it is what most are calling the new iPads until Apple pronounces them with official names as iPad Air 2nd generation and iPad mini Retin A 2nd generation. Even then customers will likely shorten the names of the new iPads to something more manageable – rebelmouse.com
The rumored launch of iPad Air 2 is near, can it be still worth to purchase the ipad Air?
It goes without saying that the merest rumour of a second-generation iPad Air is more than enough to bring smiles to the faces of those devoted Apple enthusiasts who're intending to replace their present tablet computer. These rumors also bring a brand new dilemma for the folks who're in desperate need of a tablet computer and can not seem to decide whether to go for the soon-to-be-old iPad Air or wait for Apple to launch the I pad Air 2.
Unless you're living under a rock, it is pretty much a reality at this point that Apple's I pad sales figures haven't been as good as they initially anticipated. Which is the reason why many tech pundits believe the upcoming iPad Air 2 may be packing some significant advancements on the hardware entrance to the iPad Air that is present. Furthermore, even if the sales factor that is low is entirely ignored by us, we must not neglect that Apple has received a history of blessing the iPad set with some significant fire-power over each new iteration.
So to cut things short, aside from an upgraded spec sheet, there really is not any ground breaking feature the iPad Air 2 is likely to have (based on what we have observed so far) . Nonetheless, even then we highly recommend you wait for Apple to produce its new tablet computer. You will find two reasons behind this:
First, even if Apple somehow reveals a new revolutionary never-before-observed feature in the I pad Air 2, you would already get ready to purchase it as soon as the device hits the shelves. Second, if Apple iPad Air 2 happens to be indeed only a small upgrade, now you can formally purchase the present-generation I pad Air at a heavily discounted cost. Basically, it is a win-win situation for everybody. Obviously, this is assuming your present tablet computer has fully given out and there is no manner it is possible to wait for a few months. By which case, the present-generation iPad Air is not a bad option either.
Are You Struggling With Knee Pain? There is Help Available
by admin • • 0 Comments
Take heart if you're having a hard time with knee pain. Heavy adults with knee osteoarthritis who lose 10 % of their weight can substantially lower their knee discomfort, stroll faster and enhance their movement, a brand-new research shows.
About 250 million individuals worldwide have knee osteoarthritis, the leading cause of disability in older adults, states lead author Stephen Messier, a teacher of wellness and workout science at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joint's cartilage. Obesity is a major threat aspect for knee osteoarthritis, Messier says.
Messier and colleagues sponsored 454 obese and obese adults with osteoarthritis in their knees. For the 18-month research, clients were designated to either a diet-and-exercise plan, an exercise-only program or a diet-only strategy. The exercise group did light- to moderate-intensity exercises one hour a day 3 days a week for 18 months; the diet/exercise group followed a calorie-restricted diet plan and an exercise program. The diet group followed the diet plan. The findings in today's Journal of the American Medical Association:.
Participants in the diet-and-exercise program lost an average of 23 pounds; those who just dieted lost 19.6 pounds; and those who simply exercised lost about 4 pounds.
Individuals in the diet-and-exercise group had less knee pain, strolled much faster and felt much better walking up stairs and getting out of chairs than those in the workout group.
Everybody enhanced strolling speed, but the diet-and-exercise group increased one of the most.
Those type of improvements could lead to lowered wellness care expenses and less joint replacements in the future, says rheumatologist Perseverance White, a spokeswoman for the Arthritis Foundation.
Some facts about osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis most commonly takes place in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees and lower back. It likewise affects the neck, small finger joints, the base of the thumb and the huge toe. When injury or tension is included, it seldom impacts other joints other than.
The majority of treatment strategies include a mix of the following aspects: workout, weight control, joint security, physical and occupational treatment, and medications.
About 250 million people worldwide have knee osteoarthritis, the leading cause of impairment in older adults, states lead author Stephen Messier, a professor of health and workout science at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition persistent by distinguisheded breakdown of the joint's cartilage. Excessive weight is a major danger aspect for knee osteoarthritis, Messier states.
Messier and coworkers recruited 454 overweight and obese grownups with osteoarthritis in their knees. Osteoarthritis most typically occurs in the weight-bearing joints of the hips, knees and lower back.
Are You Interested In Learning How To Play Soccer? Read On.
by admin •
Are you looking for ways to improve your soccer game? Have you never played a game before but are interesting in learning more? Whether you're new to soccer or someone who's a pro, the article that follows will help. Keep on reading in order to find out great tips concerning playing a better soccer game.
Do not try to approach the goal without a good opening. If you don't have an open field, look for available teammates that are open and waiting to help. Get the ball to them instead of taking a risk.
Learn the Outside Elastico. This can help you cut inside when you are on the flanks. To learn the move, use a cone or other marker placed on the field. You want to be a good five steps or so back from the object on the ground. Begin dribbling as you move towards it. As you reach the cone, touch your ball to the outside and then quickly to the inside. Making outside touches tricks your opponents, allowing you to get by them. The inside touch should be slightly harder than the outside touch.
Come up with a strategy with your teammates. They ought to anticipate when you plan to send a pass across so that they are able to rush ahead and grab it. You could, for instance, cross the ball to the right for two plays and switch to the left during your third play.
Lofted Ball
It's hard to control a lofted ball. Try passing low and whipping the ball if there are defenders closing in around you. You may use a lofted ball if you need to pass long to someone far away.
If you're in possession of the ball and you have people coming at you, pretend like you're about to pass to someone. This will make them pause for a moment and you'll have extra time to figure out what should be done next. Therefore, don't be afraid to use a lot of animation, and your game will significantly improve.
Use every surface of your foot during soccer play. If you are quickly dribbling, then you are likely using the front of your foot at the instep. Using both the outside and the inside of the foot makes your dribbling more effective. This will allow you to control the ball, no matter where the defensive pressure is.
If you would like to be a good soccer player, you need to keep your body fit. Excess weight makes the game more difficult than it already is. Be sure to eat a healthy diet and eat healthy portion sizes.
You need to wear proper shoes when playing soccer. Football cleats and tennis shoes should not be worn. If you wear the wrong shoes there is a chance that you may end up hurting yourself or causing injury to another player.
You shouldn't try to be overly confident when you're playing soccer. Even though you are a good player, unexpected things can always happen. If you act as if you're untouchable, the unexpected might throw you off.
Practice and play with players more experienced than you. This will allow your abilities to become better honed so your skills can improve. Ask as many questions as you can and take advantage of their wealth of knowledge. Soccer players enjoy helping each other since they are team-oriented people. If you don't know anyone who is better than you, talk to players at games played nearby.
If you try out for a team, focus on the things you do best and feel comfortable with rather than showing off and trying to do something you cannot fully master. If you do not feel 100% confident, then wait until you are before showing off this skill.
Professional Soccer
Watch professional soccer as often as possible. This makes learning the rules easier and can also show you how to play well. Although you cannot replace your practice with this, watching professional soccer can help you make improvements in your goal and reinforce the things that you have learned while practicing.
The above article has provided you with tips to make you a better soccer player. Everyone can enjoy soccer, no matter what their age. Play soccer with your friends or your family. Use what you have learned here to better enjoy the game of soccer.
Lots of folks want to understand the subject of Watch FIFA 2014 World Cup Streaming on-line but don't know where to begin. Luckily, the following article has some great information to help you get started. Now you can put the various things that have been gone over here to good use.

Jus Nice - Living Proof
Artist: Jus Nice
Producer: Cardo
Album: Fressh Mixtape
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 9 total votes )
Doubters, stand down; Booth newcomer Jus Nice is Living Proof. Proof of what, you ask? Of… his own freshness, apparently. The Jersey-by-way-of-Brooklyn emcee's latest mixtape leak, making its world premiere on our frontpage, is intended to make manifest a few simple facts: Jus is here, he's real, and he's got the skills to reign supreme. Cardo works the boards, serving up a guitar-infused retro-soul instrumental which the artist proceeds to lace with braggadocious freshness. In between larger-than-life boasts regarding his whips, his facility with the females, and his knack for attracting stacks, he fills listeners in on all the vital facts, from his early influences ("Grew up on that Jay-Z, Nas and that Scarface…" ), to just how long he's been on his hustle (he started at the ripe, young age of 14), to his official page's URL ("Kinda like my website, Somethingfressh.") Now that you've gotten familiar with the Northeastern buzzmaker, are you craving more new tunes? You're in luck; Jus Nice's latest street album, the Booth-sponsored Fressh Mixtape, is set to hit our front page for free streaming and download April 21.

So after lurking Homebrewtalk for 2.5-3 years I finally pulled the trigger on
some ingredients and made a somple amber ale with Hallertauer hops and
Nottingham yeast. First observation is I respect all homebrewers, as even
a simple extract brew is an awful lot of work. I can't imagine any other
hobby where a guy can be passionate about it even though he has to
clean up at the beginning and end! Anyway about my brew, I bought
all my ingredients from Midwest, which seems like a good place to order
from. For a fermenter I used a Deer Park water bottle. They recently
changed the plastic for their bottles to PET (#1), so I am thinking it will
be fine. I wish I had a bag for the hops during the boil but I did not.
They were loose in the wort, and they still are. When fermentation is
complete I will be evaporating the alcohol out for a nonalcoholic beer.
I know there are quite a few naysayers on here who have given theory
about how it is impossible but there are others who have posted in these
forums that they have done this and reported good experiences and even
though their methods don't qualify as scientific proof I choose the believe
them. My biggest concern for now is Notty is supposed to be a beast
and mine seems to be acting like a *****cat! I brewed on friday and
see a little white foam at the top, not a pellicle as far as I can tell,
and I have heard volcano like stories about Nottingham putting brew
on peoples' ceilings. I have another packet. Should I re-pitch or just
wait another day (that would be 72 hrs)?
At three days take a gravity reading and see how it compares to your OG.
Wait, be patient, there's not always alot of visual signs of fermentation. The hydrometer is the real telltale but I would wait AT LEAST a week or two before even checking out of curiosity.
I would wait. You may have under pitched.
Wayne Gretzky-"100% of the shots you don't take, don't go in
Revvy>>You shouldn't worry about ANYTHING, you didn't hurt the yeast, they know what they need to do, they want to eat all that sugar they are swimming around in. They want to pee alcohol and fart co2, it's their nature.
Bobby_M>>I flood the keg with CO2 for one minute with the lid off, rack the beer in to the bottom gently, seal it, flood it, vent it. If there's still O2 in there after that, F it.
nottingham is usually very good, and is probably my favorite, but it can be temperamental (weak or strong). the only blowout i ever had was with notty. i've also had to wait for 3 days for it to get visible signs. danstar is even changing their packaging because of this unreliability. let it go for another couple of days, since there is some activity
1: Yeti RIS clone
2: Mangrove Hefe
3: Barkshack Gingermead
4: Oatmeal Stout
5: Bavarian Wheat
6: Premium Lager
Fermenting: Concord Wine, ESB
Yeah, i kinda missed the bubbles on top. That's activity and its def fermenting, and probably just fine.
Thanks very much for this input, everyone. I will wait till tuesday at least and make
a decision or indecision then.
Well. three weeks and two days after brew night, I gave my brew a taste, and my
worries are over, I made beer! I tastes flat but spot on other than that! I am
going to de-alcoholize, prime and repitch more yeast tomorrow! Happy Independence
Day everyone!!

NOTE: You most likely won't have to cut the 96" boards
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Step 1
Build the base as shown above. I built mine with pocket holes (1 1/2" setting and 2 1/2" pocket hole screws) but you could also countersink 2 1/2" self tapping exterior screws. use glue and adjust for square when done.
NOTE: Pocket hole users may wish to also drill holes facing upward for attaching boards in next step - it's up to you.
Step 2
Attach decking boards starting at back and working inward. Leave 1/2" gap in between.
Build an outdoor platform sectional! Free plans from Ana-White.com. This plan has the end table built in. Mix and match to get your dream deck furniture!
Step 3
Then attach 2x2s to the top using 1 1/2" pocket hole and 2 1/2" pocket hole screw with glue.
Step 4
Attach back base board to both 2x2 and 2x6 decking.
Step 5
Attach top back boards, same as you did the bottom back boards.
Step 6
Split the difference and attach center back boards.
NOTE: We felt that our back was plenty sturdy, but if you have concerns about the open end of the sectional not being sturdy enough for your use, I recommend adding a metal L bracket on the inside. This will further secure the back.

Here's what I found different in this article than what we've discussed here on ASoB:
Don't know how many of you have seen this, but Mark Story has an interesting piece on the LHL about Senior Day. What's different from what has been discussed around here after the jump...
If mega-star freshmen Wall and Cousins already know they are going to put their names in the NBA Draft, it would actually be smart for UK and John Calipari to announce that in advance of Sunday's game.
The reason is that the NCAA Tournament brings with it both heavy national media presence and an open-locker room policy. So the UK star freshmen are going to get asked the "are you turning pro?" question one gazillion times during the NCAAs if they haven't cleared it up before March Madness.
So if they know the answer is yes, saying so now would both allow Kentucky to honor them Sunday and would ultimately help keep the focus on the Cats' bid to win the national title by removing all the pros speculation
I had never really thought about this from this perspective... I don't agree with it, but it's interesting nonetheless! Personally I think it's really way too early for the guys to make this type of monumental decision that will affect the rest of their lives. That decision is going to be "pressure" enough, let alone having to make it while trying to win ballgames too...
Your thoughts??

Open thread: Sarah Palin part of god's plan?
The word is out that John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate as part of god's plan. Holy mackerel.
WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin said Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of "God's plan," according to a top political strategist in the campaign. In an interview with the CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes," Steve Schmidt described Palin as "very calm" after McCain met with her at his Arizona ranch just before putting her on the Republican ticket. McCain had planned to name Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., as his vice presidential choice until word leaked, sparking what Schmidt called political blowback over picking the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee. Schmidt said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." He quoted her as saying, "It's God's plan."

If I believed in hell, I'd be asking god to reserve a spot for Pat Robertson.
Pat Robertson is a WPOS.
Why people put any stock in his mindless and hypocritical mumblings is well beyond me. I suspect if anyone ever made a pact with the devil it would be Pat himself. Payoff is going to be hell...literally.
Stan Bozarth
This is appalling
If your average christian church goer saw this, they would just HAVE to be in horror. I know that there is a radical christian fundamentalist element in our society and I am sure these people salivate every time Pat Robertson speaks. To them, he is the "Pope" of the christian religion.
I watched this video with a great deal of interest because it shows what liberals and progressives are up against. Robertson slurs his words and seems to have difficulty staying on topic, yet his followers lean on every word he says.
To me, what he is saying here is that God is now punishing a country/land because some past leaders "made a pact with the devil" and, has punished them for centuries because of this. I do not know. Does a loving and merciful god (as the christian god is supposed to be) actually micromanage leader's actions and then take it out on an entire nation? Who in their right mind would think so?
It makes people of the christian faith question the legitimacy of their beliefs, I would think.
In any case, humans are the most "self-determining" species on this planet. It is very difficult to believe that a god gave us the ability to accomplish our own plight and then punish what we do if it doesn't agree with him/her.
I guess that is enough said on this.

WALLA WALLA — A woman pleaded guilty Monday afternoon in Walla Walla County Superior Court to assaulting an acquaintance and stealing her cellphone in April near Lyons Park in College Place.
Breanne N. Rutherford, 20, entered the guilty pleas to third-degree assault and third-degree theft.
She faces a jail term of up to three months for the assault and up to a year for the theft when she's sentenced later. The prosecution is recommending 30 days, which the defense can ask be converted to community service.
Rutherford had been charged with second-degree robbery, but she has no criminal history. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney April King agreed to reduce the case against her in exchange for her guilty pleas.
According to a College Place police report filed in court, Rutherford got into the car of Tasha M. Knopf before 11 p.m. April 16, started hitting her, then took Knopf's cellphone from the center console and said, "This is mine now."
Knopf had gone to the location to pick up a female who had called her saying she needed help because Rutherford had pulled a gun on her, the police report says.
It adds that Knopf and Rutherford have had "previous incidents."
Rutherford, of Pasco, was arrested and booked into the Walla Walla County Jail. She was ordered released April 19 pending further court proceedings.
Terry McConn can be reached at email@example.com or 526-8319.

The first 10 minutes of the game were north-south to the max. The feeling out process for teams in different conferences takes a bit of time, and thankfully the Kings were the first to gain control. Jarret Stoll was able to score off a sharp angle on Brian Boucher for the first goal of the game. (I seem to remember Boucher letting in a similar goal last season when they faced the San Jose Sharks.) The second period went back to neither team dominating causing an overall manic feel and the third was flat out frantic. The 5-on-3 advantage the Kings had should have slowed the game down drastically in their favor, but it was just about the worst man-advantage I have ever seen. The Kings couldn't get the puck past the offensive blueline let alone set anything up. The Flyers were aggressive all around and the 2-man advantage expired with nothing to show for it.
Alexander Frolov doesn't belong on the top line. I'm not saying he played terribly; I'm merely saying Frolov is best served on, at most, the second line. He was supposed to up his game and compliment Kopitar and Justin Williams on the first line, but nothing changed for Frolov. He looked the same and I'm not sure what to say other than there will be a different left wing on that line Saturday against the Calgary Flames. Williams, on the other hand, had a strong showing with 8 total shots on net. Kopitar had 6 shots while Frolov had only 1. As a team, the Kings landed 39 shots on the Flyers goaltender with Jonathan Quick seeing just 20.
This was a high hitting game and I was mildly impressed with some players and not with others, as is usually the case. In this particular game, Teddy Purcell stepped up his visibility a touch while Davis Drewiske did not. I'm not going to strategically analyze their play for this one game; rather, I'm just going chock it up to playing in modified lines against a team they are unfamiliar with. (Let me know when that line gets old.)
The incredible high/low light of this game was the rolling puck parallel to the Flyers' blueline that could have led to the Kings tying goal with just seconds left in regulation. The insanity at the end of the game could have tilted just one degree in favor of the Kings, but it predictably didn't and the large "L" loomed upon them on the stats sheet. That, my friends, is the definition of heartbreak.

Chapel Down produces a range of three 'Curious' beers that are a fusion of brewing and wine-making techniques.
Drawing on Frazer's extensive beer know how and the wine-making expertise from the team at Chapel Down, this range of beer offers the discerning beer drinker a unique experience. Like great wine, great beer can't be rushed and you can't compromise on ingredients, time or techniques to deliver better tasting beers. Cost has its place, but not in the creation of World Class beers or wines. The beers are therefore, perhaps reassuringly, slightly more expensive than your average beer/biere/birra. But worth every penny. We don't know if they are the best beers in the World, but they are certainly beers that no-one else could create.
A delivery charge of £8.00 will be added to each order of a case of 24 bottles of beer and a further £4.00 for every case therafter unless otherwise stated.
Coming soon, Curious Apple Cider also in 33cl bottles.

The Sioux Falls Skyforce have won four consecutive games, and have secured at least a wildcard spot in the D-League playoffs.
It's back to work for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. After starting out the season a tear, winning 12 of their first 15 games, they hit a mid-season road block. Head coach Pat Delany understands the grind of a long NBA D-League season, but feels his club has turned the corner and is pleased with the results.
"I think we definitely had some peeks and valleys throughout the regular season. We started off really strong, and I think a lot of had to do with the home record. Then we got into that grind off the regular season and being on the road and what not, and we had a turning point halfway through the season were guys realized this can really work for us, making it result in wins, and also the player development side where players are getting better," Skyforce head coach Pat Delany said.
The force are 17-6 at home this season, and are led on the offensive end by Guard Tre Kelly, who averages 19 points and over five assists per game. The players have developed, including DeAndre Liggins, who was called up to the NBA early this year. Now, back with the Force, he says the team's goal is simple.
*It's not about getting to a specific round to call it a successful season. We want to win it all. That's the only thing we are hanging out hat on. We are trying to take it one possession at a time and one game at a time," Skyforce forward DeAndre Liggins said.
With two regular season games to play, Sioux Falls stands 29-19, part of a three-way tie with Iowa and Rio Grande Valley for the Central Division lead. Coach Delany agrees that the goal is clear-cut, and is confident that the final home series will help the Force reach their peak going into the playoffs.
"Hopefully we are peaking at the right time. We still have two regular season games left that we want to win this weekend and put ourselves in the best position possible going into the playoffs. And as you said, hopefully we will have a chance to take home hardware in a few weeks," Delany said.
The Skyforce will host Texas on Friday night, and Tulsa on Saturday night, with both games scheduled for 7:00 at the Sanford Pentagon. The D-League playoffs will begin no earlier than next Wednesday.

If other targets emerged – some, I don't know, Scottish ones, maybe – I apologise (although not for highlighting the crack from the unbiased public employee); I switched off after about three minutes. Maybe other Kitty Kounters have better blood pressure.
Edit: total, indignance-induced, incompetence. My apologies to Ms. Forsyth are without reservation.

This is why you shouldn't do cheerleading: in total darkness.

I like the part: where I couldn't view the video
Sit there and keep filming: you dumb biotch. How about calling 911. You just saw King Kong fall on a 80lb girl. Too bad people in these videos can't hear me or read what I'm typing to them. I'm retarded.
I don't think it was the fall....: I think it was his fat ass falling on her head and crushing it like a pea that did it.
