BENDIGO is bucking the national jobs trend which yesterday showed the worst result in 10 years, the Bendigo Business Council says.
Bureau of Statistics January data showed the jobless rate has shot up to 6 per cent, its highest level in more than a decade, as 3700 jobs were removed from the economy.
There were 7100 full-time positions lost and 3400 part-time jobs added.
But Bendigo Business Council executive officer Patrick Falconer said Bendigo was bucking the national trend, with more jobs driven by the new Bendigo hospital and other major projects.
"That's why major projects are so important, because they drive employment and growth," Mr Falconer said.
Another 20 companies in Bendigo had opened as a result of the hospital being built, he said, including hospitality, building and security services.
Nonetheless, potentially some local sectors could be impacted by job losses.
"Any national trends of job loss is not healthy for Australia and we all live in Australia, so we want it to be healthy.
"We still must strive to be innovative.
"Manufacturing is not increasing so we need to get other businesses to take up the slack."
Professional services in Bendigo were doing "extremely well", with some expanding to Melbourne and beyond.
Employment and recruitment agencies contacted by the Bendigo Advertiser did not comment on the job figures.
News of the national unemployment figures sent the Australian dollar tumbling back below US90c.
The aggregate monthly hours worked rose by 20.5 million hours to 1,635.8 million hours, which could indicate future improvements in the jobs market, economists said.
"There's no spinning it, Australia's labour market is weak," Moody's Analytics associate economist Katrina Ell said.
"Businesses are not confident in future economic conditions so are trimming jobs and working their existing staff harder."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have re-signed veteran punter Brian Moorman to a one-year contract extension that locks him up through next season.
The deal, reached on Friday, allows Moorman to return for a 14th season in Buffalo. It also represents a vote of confidence for the two-time Pro Bowl selection, who returned to Buffalo in October following a one-year absence, to replace Shawn Powell.
In 11 games, Moorman finished 30th in the NFL with 36.6 net yards per punt and landed 16 inside opponents' 20.
Speaking by phone, Moorman was pleased to continue his career with the Bills. And he looked forward to the opportunity to spend a full off-season working with special teams co-ordinator Danny Crossman.
Moorman is a popular figure in Buffalo for his involvement in local charities.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Jones County Junior College used a pair of five-run innings and whipped the Lincoln Land Community College (Ill.) Lady Loggers, 11-1 in five innings here Wednesday afternoon at Traceway Park in the opening round of the NJCAA Division II National Tournament.
That moves the fifth-seeded Lady Bobcats into a winner's bracket game at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday vs. fourth-seeded Cowley County Community College (Kan.). Cowley County beat Cuyahoga County Community College (Ohio), 11-3 in five innings. The game will be webcast on www.jcjc.tv and http://www.ihigh.com/njcaatv.
The winner of the game will not play again until noon Friday, while the loser must turn around and play again at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Lady Bobcats 11, Lady Loggers 1
(5 innings)
JCJC received three hits from Rebecca Dunn as they improved to 43-8.
The Lady Bobcats got rolling in the second inning when Karley Crosby walked and Makenzie Hawkins singled. After Brooke David reached on a fielder's choice, Dunn reached on an infield single to load the bases.
Kalyn McNabb walked to force in Hawkins and with two outs, CC Lawn walked to force in David. Relanda McFarland then reached on an infield single, which was able to score both Dunn and McNabb, who was running all the way. Bethany Volking then singled home Lawn to make it 5-0.
The Lady Loggers of Springfield, Ill., got a run in the third when Chantel Jennings led off with a single, Lauren Windisch reached on a bunt single and Laura Bonds singled to load the bases. Torey Sorenson's sacrifice fly to center scored Jennings.
JCJC got the run back in the bottom of the inning.
Dunn singled with two outs and McNabb drove her in with a double off the rightfield fence.
The Lady Bobcats closed the scoring with a five-run, fourth inning.
Lawn singled and Volking singled with one out. A walk to Crosby loaded the bases and Hawkins reached on a fielder's choice, which forced Lawn at home.
But David got a two-run single and Dunn followed with a run-scoring single to make it 9-1. McNabb's grounder was booted, which allowed pinch-runner Keni May and Dunn to score.
Samantha Buller, 26-3, went the distance and got the win. She scattered seven hits, struck out one and walked one.
Dunn had three singles for JCJC, while Lawn, Volking and David had two singles each. McNabb had a double, with McFarland getting a single.
Bonds doubled and singled for Lincoln Land, 28-26. Windisch singled twice, while Sorenson, Kayla Jacobs and Jennings added singles.

In Rosemary Wells' The Man In the Woods, Helen Curragh, a 14 year-old girl, is new to New Bedford Regional High School. Another freshman, Pinky Levy, befriends her when he opens her stuck locker. Helen and Pinky are witnesses to an accident caused by "The Punk Rock Thrower" , an unidentified teenager who throws rocks at cars in New Bedford. While Pinky calls an ambulance and cares for the victims of the accident, Helen heedlessly rushes after someone she sees lurking in the woods.
As the story unfolds, a classmate of Helen's is arrested for the rock-throwing. Helen and Pinky, however, know better. In their attempts to prove the police wrong, the two uncover an historic scandal in a long-standing family of New Bedford. Helen receives death threats, but still the police disbelieve her theories on the crime.
Unfortunately, the author ruins an otherwise well-written novel in multiple ways. For one, Helen's personality, which has been strong and decisive throughout most of the story, weakens and "takes the easy way out" in the last decision she makes. Otherwise, the author's characterizations are vibrant and believable. Unfortunately, there are minor faults in the story concealed by the colorful description. Another flaw in the description is the solution of the mystery. It seems not to make any sense when taken by itself or as part of the entire story. Instead, the ending chapters appear desperate, last-minute attempts by the author to meet a publication deadline. An additional shortcoming of the book is that the tone is excessively moralistic. Helen constantly shows the male chauvinistic Pinky that she can be brave, resourceful, or whatever the situation calls for. The resolution of the story falls into a fairy tale stereotype, with Pinky and Helen having been correct in spite of the police and other adults.
Other than these weaknesses, The Man In the Woods is barely passable. The author mixes suspense, humor, history, romance, and even a little female equality with credible characters, except as already noted, to produce a mediocre book that this reviewer grades as "C." n
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

About the AuthorStacy Lanyon
slan007 New York, NY
I have had a camera in my hand since I was a child. In 2007, I took my passion more seriously and bought my first SLR camera. Since then, I have been spending much of my time photographing any beauty that has come in my path, whether it be nature, animals, people, architecture or performance. When Occupy Wall Street began in 2011, I almost immediately joined the fight for social justice using my camera as a way of revealing truth and encouraging change. I see so much beauty in the world, but unfortunately our fears and insecurity often lead us away from that beauty. I have decided to dedicate my life and my gift of photography to help lead us back to to a place where we realize our connection to our natural environment, the universe and everyone and everything in it.

Consensus views arising from the 48th Study Group: Implantation and Early Development
Future research
Endometrial receptivity
- The process of embryonic implantation is still something of a black box. A molecular definition of endometrial receptivity is needed. This would not only allow researchers to focus on a well-defined process but might also lead to the development of new therapeutic targets and diagnostic tools, and to the use of a multidisciplinary systems biology approach (involving clinicians, scientists and other stakeholders) to achieve a better understanding of implantation, placentation and early development. Understanding of this process should improve the treatment of disorders such as pre-eclampsia, miscarriage and infertility.
- Given the constraints on investigating early human pregnancy, there is a need to continue to take an enlightened approach to embryo research and the use of animal models for functional studies (within an appropriate ethical and legal framework and whilst pursuing a policy of reduction, refinement and replacement).
- Further basic studies should address the complexity of the endometrialva sculature, including the key 'what, where and when'questions relating to factors that affect endothelial cells (including assessment of regional differences in vascular function within the uterus, and extension of the observations into early pregnancy using appropriate models).
Embryo–endometrial interaction
- The multidisciplinary systems biology approach that is needed to assess endometrial receptivity should also be used to understand the reciprocal dialogue between the embryo and the decidualised endometrium. This will include a continued focus on human embryo research and the development of appropriate functional models of implantation that will allow the investigation of molecules mediating blastocyst–endometrial/decidual interaction. Ulti-mately, this should lead to novel targeted therapies to treat implantation defects
- Extrauterine (ectopic) pregnancy is a life-threatening event and is not uncommon in humans. The precise reason why implantation occurs in a site distant to the uterus is still unknown. Ectopic pregnancy could be considered as a model to study the failure or the absence of mechanisms that limit implantation. A molecular understanding of the aetiology of ectopic pregnancy could advance our knowledge of how implantation is regulated in normal pregnancy.
Gamete and embryo biology
- Further work is required to determine the link between oocyte quality and embryo development. Pivotal to this will be an understanding of the role of epi-genetic modification during the later phases of oocyte maturation. Experience with cell nuclear replacement has identified the key role of cytoplasmic and nuclear factors for normal embryonic development. A cautious approach should be adopted in relation to the clinical application of oocyte in vitromaturation(IVM) until the mechanisms governing epigenetic modification have been more clearly determined.
- More sophisticated tests are required to assess the contribution of the malegamete to fertility and embryo development. The conventional measurements of sperm concentration, motility and morphology only act as surrogate markers of fertility. These surrogate markers should be assessed in relation to more definitive outcomes, including population live birth data.
- The role of epigenetic modification in early embryo development needs to bemore clearly defined, again by the application of a multidisciplinary systems biology approach. We still need to understand what makes an 'implantation-competent blastocyst'that will give rise to a normal baby. Furthermore, large-scale follow-up studies will be required to determine the impact of such epigenetic modification on long-term health and disease.
Early pregnancy failure
- There is a need for a national framework responsible for coordinating clinical trials assessing the efficacy of pharmacological interventions in patients with recurrent pregnancy failure.
- Women miscarrying one normal pregnancy should ideally be investigated for maternal causes for their loss. However, there is a need for a comprehensive economic and cost evaluation assessment to see whether such an approach would be feasible in practice.
- Further research is needed to establish the contribution that inherited thrombotic disorders make to reproductive failure.
- The number and activity of natural killer (NK) cells in peripheral blood show no correlation with reproductive success. There are no controlled data to support the current use of these tests in clinical practice.
- There is no scientific rationale for offering women with infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss treatment with steroids, white cell infusions or intravenous immunoglobulin. The use of these interventions cannot be recommended in normal healthy women because of the incidence of well-recognised and potentially severe adverse effects.
Translation into clinical practice
- More data from randomised trials are needed to demonstrate whether a single-embryo transfer policy would be effective, acceptable and financially viable in the UK.
- Parents of children born following embryo biopsy should be encouraged to take part in follow-up studies of the health and development of their children(including into adult life).
- Further work is needed to identify appropriate criteria for recommending pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) and, through appropriately structured research, an assessment should be made of its efficacy per treatment cycle.
Clinical practice
- New treatments should not be introduced into clinical practice until they have undergone rigorous evaluation and have been shown to be effective by adequately designed clinical trials.
Management of early pregnancy loss
- Antiphospholipid syndrome is an established cause of fetal loss. Treatment with aspirin and heparin during pregnancy significantly improves the live birth rate.
- There is no evidence to support the notion that couples should wait three months before trying to conceive again following early pregnancy loss.
Pre-implantation testing
- Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) should be carried out by specialist centres that have a multidisciplinary genetic support infrastructure including genetic counselling, and CPA (Clinical Pathology Accreditation) qualified cyto-genetics and molecular genetics laboratories.
Assisted reproduction
- Elective single-embryo transfer substantially reduces the risk of twins following in vitro fertilisation.
- There are no data to support the practice of endometrial biopsy as part of the pretreatment assessment for assisted conception.
Health policy/education
- One to two per cent of children born in developed societies are now the result of assisted conception-related technologies. There is an urgent need to coordinate large-scale (national) follow-up studies of mothers and their children to audit the safety and long-term outcomes of these treatments.
- As outlined in the clinical practice section above, new treatments should only be introduced when they have undergone rigorous evaluation and have been shown to be effective by adequately designed clinical trials. For example, the possible risks of oocyte in vitromaturation (IVM) need to be further evaluated. Similarly, studies are required to assess the potential teratogenic effects of the high concentrations of cytotoxic chemicals employed during the process of vitrification.
- Funding of PGD should be considered outside the remit of normal infertility purchasing as the procedure is not aimed specifically at alleviating infertility but at preventing genetic disease. On the other hand (if appropriate), PGS might be considered as part of infertility service provision.
- Despite certain methodological limitations, epidemiological studies are useful for determining both genetic and environmental risk factors for reproductive health. There is a strong public heath argument for being able to link national databases (such as those held by the National Cancer Registry and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority).
- Children born after assisted reproduction are usually healthy. However, multiple pregnancy is the single biggest cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in pregnancies conceived following assisted conception treatments.
- Our understanding of developmental biology continues to proceed at a rapid rate. Regulators and policy-makers should therefore scan the horizon to be aware of possible future developments in assisted conception (such as in vitromaturation of gametes, germinal vesicle transfer or the creation of artificial gametes).

You'll' notice a familiar face in all three of these highlights from last night, as the captain has elevated his play to a level that places his amongst the top small forwards in the NBA once again. What does 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists over a four-game stretch without half the team's starting lineup look like? Something like this….
3. Paul Pierce the distributor. And who is this big man that is rolling to the hoop hard after the pick? Doesn't he know this is against the rules? This is a pick-and-pop team! All kidding aside, the awakening of Chris Wilcox, who was actually starting to play well even before his calf injury bodes extremely well for this team? Wilcox's little secret? He's a great finisher at the rim, as shown in plays like this
2. Paul Pierce the finisher. Let's not kid ourselves though, the real highlight of this clip is Avery's recovery ability. It's one thing to recover to get the block, but managing to get virtually in front of Collison after getting picked off like that? Beyond impressive
1. Paul Pierce, the scrapper. All I will say is just how much this play……
reminded me of this play:
0. I know KG is tough on the young guys, but this seemed excessive. Avery can be counted on a couple of boneheaded plays like this every night, but let's hope they remain of the inconsequential nature like this one.

Which of these Trance tracks is doper?!!
It's time to unleash two absolutely stellar trance tracks, as I notice many of my visitors are into the trancier side of things.
I can't decide which of these is doper; I'll leave that to you.
Above & Beyond generally do what I call sacharrine-cheese trance, which is a little too over-the-top cheesy for me (think vocal trance, and lots of it!). But Tri-State is freakin' awesome… Make sure you're chewing gum when you hear this, we don't want you to grind your teeth flat… ;)
Get this track from Beatport.com

This next song is aptly named Ambience, by Michael Burns. MB has some other fresh tracks under his belt, but we'll get to that some other day. For now, feast your ears:

|my Dearest Friend
|Quincy Febry. 19th 1797
It was not till last Evening that I received Your Letters of Febry
2d 4 & 7th. the post
did not get in
on which was due on twesday till Saturday. I do not know how
to pass a week without hearing from you, I received news papers to the Tenth. in those I
have an account of the declaration, it was a Solemn Scene to you, and an affecting one,
You will find by my Letter of the 8th that I was with
I have not taken any steps as yet preparitory to quitting home, I
must tell you a little of Farrming if you cannot give me any directions, Billings has
tried various kind of work since the weather became milder. he workd two days on the
Wall before the House. he then attempted to break up a peice of ground upon the Hill
where you directed this he has accomplishd and carted on the manure, he has since been
sleding stones, for we had an other snow which lasted for a few days and assisted us in
that Buisness tho it obstructed other. veseys time expires this week, and buisness will
soon press hard,
so that I must have a hand immediatly and two in April if
Billings goes on with his Walls. French is inclined to stay, but wants some further
indulgences, such as a little wood and the use of the cattle wholy to himself except
when calld to work upon this place, by which means he could pay for labour for labour,
upon the place. thinks the hire of a Man and maid will eat him up—unless he may be thus
indulged, he will in consideration of it pay all the Shoeing and will get up some
seaweed into the pens. I have thought we had better consent to this, as we know the Man,
and the trouble of looking out a new Tennant who may want as much, have a larger Family
and do us more harm than the amount of these articles, I shall however consult dr Tufts
as you direct. and will do the best we can. I shall let him have Quincy meddow and in
lieu, Burrel is to take the whole of the pasture,
I have not yet tried mears as I thought it would be time enough; for I have no disposition to give the management up whilst I remain here, I will enter into a treaty with him to take it in the fall if I can—
I conversd with your Mother upon having a Room to herself without nameing any particular place, she said she should prefer being with her Children, that she would come and stay with me some part of the time whilst I remaind here, and that when I went away I might make provision for her then if she lived, I told her I should be very happy to have her—and would make her as comfortable as I could tho it was probable my Family would sometimes be an incumberd one. she has spent one week with me, and when I know how matters are to be arranged I shall have her here again.
I can not say any thing with respect to domestick arrangement at Philadelphia untill I know what is in the House. I hope still that Congress will consider the subject sufficiently to add what furniture may be necessary. I want not a stick of it at the close of the Term. You must not worry yourself upon that Head. I suppose I can collect domesticks from this way. the Principles ones, but whether I could some in the lower departments I do not know I mentiond in my Letter to mr Brisler a woman as an Housekeeper whom I shall try for, but as She is with Jeffry and he is very good to her, and has made her and two grandchildren who are dependent upon her very comfortable I do not know that I Shall Succeed. the Yellow fever has its terrors with many and I do not wonder at it,
My dearest Friend as you have been calld in Providence into the chair of Government, you did not accept it without knowing that it had its torments, its trials its dangers & perplexities, look steadfastly at them, arm yourself with patience and forbearence and be not dismayed, and may God and the people support You, having put your Hand to the plough, You must not look back, nor ought You I think to wish you had not,
I presume you will have a Splendid Birth Day. there are preparations making in Boston to celebrate it, I received a very polite Note inclosing a Card for me & an other for Louissa for the Washington Ball,. the Note from the Managers requested me to honour them with my attendance, which they should esteem a particular favour, as it is the last publick honour they can shew the President, thus circumstanced I have determined to attend—
I hope your next Letters will be more explicit, and that you will be able to fix upon some plan.
I am my Dearest Friend allways willing to be a fellow Labourer with
You in all those Relations and departments to which my abilities are competent, and I
hope to acquire every requisite degree of Taciturnity which my Station call for, tho
Cabot Says truly that it will be putting a force upon nature I expect many trials when
it may be hard work, but as [...] Porcupine
s Says, I shall think,—
communicate to me what ever you learn of our dear Sons. there we have pleasures which Washington never knew. One Man ought not to have every thing, adieu there is one plasure wanting to me, that of folding to my Bosom the Dear partner of all my joys and Sorrows and telling him that I am ever his

AUSTINTOWN, Ohio - Officials from Republic Services almost caught up with trash collection that was delayed by a Teamster's strike.
But there was one major part of Austintown that has recycling still sitting on the curb.
Solid Waste Management says that is the one area where there has been an issue and they have some advice for those who live north of New Road and west of Route 46.
"We only had one reported section that was missed during that time, and probably won't be picked up. And that area was north of New Road and west of 46. We are urging those residents to take it out to our drop-off sites. There are four drop-off sites in Austintown which again was most heavily impacted by that," said Louis Vega, interim director of Solid Waste Management.

We are thankful. Ron and I are thankful to a God who listens to our prayers, honors our fasting, and cares to give us above and beyond what we could ever ask for or imagine. (Eph 3:20)
As most of you know, along with the ministry of The Mill House, we also have a small business we call "Joyful Confections". "Joyful Confections was born out of a simple scone recipe and God's calling on my life to give to the woman and infants in Mali, West Africa. A video in church, a friend innocently handing me an "Alliance Life Magazine" ( a publication of our denomination, The Christian and Missionary Alliance), and a scone recipe were the catalysts to God's calling on my life and Ron's. Not only those 3 simple incidents, but a friend who serves at Koutiala Hospital where our giving goes, and a young wonderful friend who worked one summer at the hospital delivering and caring for these precious babies of God, confirmed this calling to me.
In the beginning, I prayed for a commercial kitchen to be able to make more scones plus it would give me the opportunity to ship anywhere in the United States. God quickly closed that door when a kitchen became available, the price was right, but the space was not any better than my own kitchen for multiple people to be able to bake and work. That door was basically slammed shut and I was truly at peace with the outcome. I knew in my heart it would be very difficult to divide my days between the inn and a kitchen down the street.
As the scone business from my kitchen grew, we had the opportunity to purchase fudge making equipment from a store that was going out of business. We were able to purchase the equipment and remodel our outside room into a fudge making room. With Ron wanting to be at the inn full time, we really believed it was his ticket out of health care reform!! Well, God had different plans.
We took a week off last winter to pray about the fudge and scones of "Joyful Confections". We spent quiet time in prayer, reading together, and also budgeting to get an idea of what we would need for him to "retire" from health care. After returning home we fasted for 40 days. We met with a close pastor friend and his wife to discuss our future plans. The one conclusion we came to from that week with the Lord and our fast was we needed to put "Joyful Confections" into his hands. We needed to be giving as much as we could to the hospital and trust God to take care of the rest! All the while, God was working in interesting ways….
Weeks after our spiritual retreat, Ron was given the opportunity to be at home full time. Because of confidentiality, I can't share the particulars of the event, but God worked in a way that we would never have expected.
Since we have surrendered "Joyful Confections" to him our business has really taken off. My passion for giving to these sweet babies has grown. God opened up a new opportunity for my scones to be sold at a new store in Grand Rapids called "Savvy Ave'", The owner takes no money from the sales and all the profits go to Mali. Olde Gilead Country Store, also in Grand Rapids, is carrying our fudge. We have 2 new opportunities for fudge fund raisers. One with a local school district orchestra, and the other with an inner city church. Its just a win-win for the babies and for the organizations holding the fund raisers.
I look back over the last few years and see how God has worked. If I would have rented a kitchen, not only would I be overwhelmed and not able to take excellent care of my inn guests, but the cost of the rent would have meant less money to give to Koutiala Hospital!
I'm a happy camper, or should I say baker and fudgemaker, at the end of the day I know I can handle what God has entrusted to me, I don't need to be the star or have a fancy storefront. I just need a simple kitchen and a fudge kettle, oh and most of all a wonderful Godly husband, and a Heavenly Father who listens to prayers.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
So proud of both of you. The greatest things in my life were always the result of completely turning things over to the Lord. Unfortunately, I frequently say I an putting him in control...then slowly try to take things back. One of my staff has to regularly remind me "God has always had great plans for you. He just has to spend a lot of time waiting for you to get out of his way!" Miss you!
Thx for your post, I really enjoy your blog. Long time lurker, first time commenter, you know the drill. I tried to share this one time before, I don't think it posted correctly…hopefully it will this time!
Thank you for your support of Will Stuarts NuVizion UCC as I am a member of his church as well as a co worker of Roger Smith.

"Global cooling" raised during propane crisis debate in Minnesota legislature
Poor people in Minnesota may run out of money to pay for heat in a winter that has seen skyrocketing propane costs and a record number of plunging subzero days. So the first act of the Minnesota legislature as it reconvened this year was to add 20 million dollars to the emergency low income assistance heat fund that could run out soon.
During the debate, Rep. Steve Drazkowski (R-Mazeppa) decided it was appropriate to question the author of the emergency relief bill about climate change.
"Tell us how this bill fits into really kind of into the whole discussion about global warming and our experiencing global cooling and I'm curious how these really fit together?" said Drazkowski
Rep. Joe Radinovich (DFL-Crosby) shrugged his shoulders and then said:
"I appreciate your comments and the comments of all of the legislators who got up to speak to this bill today. Certainly that's not a question I anticipated being asked (laughter from other legislators) I'm willing to admit as much. You know I can't speak to that right now. I think that what is important is the here and now, which is that there are Minnesotans across the state who are facing a very difficult situation whether it is cooling or warming or heating or not, they wrestle with their own finances and putting heat in their homes. That's probably a discussion for another time. I appreciate the question Rep. Drazkowski."
Drazkowski responded:
"Rep. Radinovich, thank you for the animated response. I do support your bill. Thank you for bringing and I look forward to more discussion about what we're now seeing here as global cooling in Minnesota. Thank you."

SOCHI, Russia — Canada's Patrick Chan has drawn the 21st spot for Thursday's men's figure skating short program at the Sochi Olympics.
It's an advantageous draw for Toronto's Chan, as skaters prefer not to go early in the 30-man event.
Chan is a three-time world champion and has already won a silver medal at these Olympics in the team figure skating event.
Four-time Olympic medallist Evgeni Plushenko drew the seventh spot, while medal favourites Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Spain's Javier Fernandez drew 19th and 20th respectively.
Plushenko helped Russia to the team gold by finishing second to Hanyu in the short program of the new competition, then winning the free skate. He won the 2006 gold medal and also has silvers from 2002 and 2010.
Daisuke Takahashi of Japan, the 2010 bronze medallist , will be 29th, followed by countryman Tatsuko Machida to round out the field.

There is also one guitar solo on the CD, I'm a big fan of Electric Guitar solos and in my opinion this is the best Guitar solo by anyone, anywhere. The guitar solo is full to the brim of Fantastic and Beautiful melodic lines, the inspiration just does not stop for Zappa in this solo.
The Jazz may be from hell but this guitar solo is obviously made in heaven.
If you only like the comedy/rock side of Zappa this album may not be your cup of tea, but for anyone interested in higly unusual, original musical brilliance they should check this one out.
Other albums by Zappa with Synclavier music are "the Perfect Stranger - Boulez conducts Zappa, "the Mothers of Prevention" and "Civilisation Phase III", all excellent. And you might want to check out another genius with a Music Machine, the American composer Conlon Nancarrow his Player Piano Studies, are mind boggling in their Polyrhythmic complexity his studies Influenced both Zappa and Ligeti.
Really interesting music, and Highly Recomended. And as Zappa said - MUSIC IS THE BEST.
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Having gotten his hands on a Synclavier for the first time, FZ was finally able to compose any damn thing he pleased without having to worry about whether human players would be able to handle it. Along with fiendishly complicated pieces like "While You Were Art II" and the title track, the result was also some fun-and-frantic moments like "Night School" and "G-Spot Tornado." For anti-electronic purists there's also "St. Etienne," a majestic guitar piece recorded live in 1984.

Texas TV Deal Will Set Off Another Round Of Conference Movement
That is my thinking because Texas is paving the way to go independent. If they can an average of $15 million a year showing one football game and eight basketball games along with other sports. Then they could easily get that same amount in a tv deal from ESPN for the rest of their football games.

Welcome, Maniacs, to the weekly series where we help you catch up on some of the original reporting done by other sites in the vast MMA landscape. Like "Judo" Gene LeBell and Ronda Rousey pictured above, we can all "get along."
Teaming up with MMA sites like Low Kick, Cage Potato, Fight Opinion and The Fight Nerd, we'll provide an opportunity for all MMA fans to read some fresh and original voices in the sport.
This week, Lowkick does a photoshoot with Ian McCall, Middle Easy debuts a Ronnie Mann documentary and Fight Line interviews UFC on FX headliner Thiago Alves.
The full list of links is after the jump.
- Photoshoot with UFC flyweight Ian McCall (LowKick)
This weekend, Ian "Uncle Creepy" McCall (11-2) will make his UFC debut in Sydney, Australia, as part of the first ever UFC Flyweight tournament. As always, LowKick.com photographer Scott Hirano was on site to bring the following photo-report of Ian McCall's preparations for Demetrious Johnson. Ian McCall trains at Team Oyama in Orange County, CA.
- Eight MMA fighters who have done porn (Cage Potato)
- Ryan Couture ready to break Conor Heun's arm if necessary (Five Ounces of Pain)
- Ronnie Mann documentary (video) (MiddleEasy)
The good news is that we made this extensive documentary in conjunction with WHOA! TV that follows Ronnie Mann and his path to the Bellator featherweight tournament. Take some time off from work/school and let your eyes relax a little by watching this video. I'm sure they would appreciate it. They, of course, being your overworked eyes.
- Bellator FC tryout video with Kahl-One (video) (The Fight Nerd)
- UFC Japan: A wonderful show & a pyrrhic victory? (Fight Opinion)
It should be noted that Japanese media coverage of the event was exclusively sports media & not entertainment media. This is different trend/protocol from what kinds of media attended PRIDE & K-1 events. There were some rather notable Japanese sports media outlets that were, in fact, silent or barely acknowledged the show.
- The financial punch of delaying fights (MMA Payout)
Larry Pugmire of the LA Times reported on the financial impact of delaying boxing matches due to injury. Its an interesting article that shows the differences between MMA and boxing when faced with injuries.
- Tate owes Rousey a little bit of gratitude (BleacherReport.com/MMA)
The key in this entire situation, and one that Tate seemingly cannot grasp, is that the two female fighters would not be in the main event of Saturday's card without Rousey constantly badmouthing Tate, Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos and various other female fighters.
- Strikeforce: Tate vs Rousey preview (MMA Convert)
The reports of female MMA's demise have been greatly exaggerated. This Saturday night, Strikeforce brings us the biggest, most compelling pairing of femme fighters since Cris "Cyborg" Santos stepped into the cage to take on Gina Carano. That's right, I'm talking about Miesha Tate versus Ronda Rousey, a matchup that pits the organization's 135-pound champ against an Olympic judo bronze medalist who rips off arms like you and I rip off pieces of toilet paper from the rolls hanging beside our respective crappers.
- Interview with UFC on FX 2 headliner Thiago Alves (Fightline)
"I know his style is predicated on his stand-up, but once he feels my power he's going to do what most of my other opponents try and do and that's take me down. I know it's going to be an awesome fight for the fans, but it's not going to be like any of his other fights because I plan on knocking him out or submitting him."
- The Ultimate Fighter 15 evolution commercial (video) (5thRound)

Middleborough has had some problems with teens hanging out
in the town center and swearing so much that customers were being scared away
from the shops, The Guardian reports.
The city already had a bylaw that defined cursing in public as a crime, but the
police never enforced it. Officials are
hoping that by imposing a fine instead of a long, drawn-out trial, police will
be more likely to stop the cursing.
The tricky part about these new fines is that the Supreme
Court decided years ago that the government had no Constitutional right to
restrict free speech based on swearing. But on the other hand, Massachusetts
has its own law allowing policemen to arrest people who curse at others in
public. So for right now, it's up to each law enforcer in Middleborough to
decide how far he or she is going to carry this new ordinance.

Heidi Klum Oscar Fashion
Which Heidi Klum Oscar Gown Was the Most Fab?
by POPSUGAR Fashion 65 Reactions 1 Shares Print
From dramatic and regal Dior on the red carpet to short, silver, and sexy in Cavalli at the Elton John after party, Heidi Klum stole the fashion show last night. I have to stick to Dior on this one — though Heidi manages to rock the two totally different styles. Which was your fave?

She looks beautiful in both. I think the red dress would look better with a smaller train though. And as beautiful as Heidi looks in the silver outfit, it doesn't feel appropriate for the occasion -- it's more fitting for a Maxim party, or the grammys as someone mentioned earlier.

Have you heard? When it comes to your health, sitting may be the new smoking! While the analogy may seem far-fetched, many scientists and medical experts are convinced prolonged sitting is bad for your health.
Perhaps we should know this intuitively. After a long road trip or plane flight, doesn't it feel good to get up and stretch? Now there's solid science that proves it's more than a feeling. A leading science and sports association recently released the results of a study that found time spent on our backsides is linked to higher rates of death and disease.
Think about it. Even if we carve out time for exercise and leisure time activities, we still sit for long stretches working at a desk, sitting in class, riding in a car, working at a computer, watching TV or playing video games. Sadly, all that fanny time may be killing us.
Long bouts on our bums can cause serious physiological responses related to chronic disease and a shortened life span. The University of Queensland found that people who stood up frequently had lower levels of C-reactive protein (a marker for blood fat). They also had smaller waistlines. And, in a crucial finding, it was the frequency of standing, not the duration, that counted.
One study found that a woman's risk of developing metabolic syndrome increased 26% for every extra hour of sitting. Long periods of sitting in an upright position can also strain your back, causing chronic pain. Blood clots are another risk of being inactive.
Standing more often throughout the day can improve circulation, muscle tone and vitality. It can also help keep blood flowing freely to your head, and that's good for keeping your brain sharp.
Bottom line … too much bottom time is bad for your health. More and more studies are coming to the same conclusion: when you sit, your body pretty much stops working. So consider spending more of your day upright:
Want more motivation? Standing for just two hours during an average workday can burn an extra 280 calories.
Folks, we have to intentionally move. Our daily activities no longer require it. So, bottoms up! Let's all get up off our duffs. (If you'll please excuse me, I have to return a phone call. I think I'll do it standing up!)

Gilbert Melendez broke the hearts of the powers-that-be at Bellator MMA after he opted to re-sign with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
This, after the former Strikeforce lightweight champion had already agreed in principle to a fight contract with the Viacom-owned mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion (details), UFC's biggest rival.
But after UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta took over contract negotiations -- seeing as how Dana White no longer wanted any part of them -- "El Nino" found himself staring at a deal he simply couldn't refuse.
In addition, building on his legacy by fighting the best 155-pound fighters in the world was something Melendez says he can only accomplish by competing inside the Octagon.
"El Nino" talked about his new deal with FOX Sports:
"My legacy means so much to me and being able to prove I'm No. 1 and all that, but sometimes you have to put those emotions aside to think of your future and to think of your family and it's a hard thing to do, but it has to be done. That's kind of how everything started, but now I'm able to do the same thing and fight for the title as well and the show. The UFC is the biggest stage in the world, they have the best fighters in the world and the toughest lightweight division in the world. It's the Mecca for MMA, no doubt in my mind. Bellator's a great organization as well, but this is where I wanted to be. There's no other place I wanted to be."
Aside from receiving pay-per-view (PPV) points with his new deal -- an incentive that could mean mega bucks for the Cesar Gracie-trained fighter -- Melendez received a title shot against lightweight champion Anthony Pettis. The fight will go down after the two men fulfill their duties as opposing coaches on season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).
According to Melendez, he still firmly believes that he's the rightful owner of the 155-pound title and that "Showtime" is only keeping the belt warm for him.
He explains:
"I think he's been keeping it warm for me. I think that belt's mine, I really do think that belt is already mine. I really do think I beat Benson (Henderson), but I do look forward to fighting a guy like Anthony (Pettis). He's a guy who comes to fight and he's part of the evolution of the sport right now and it's an interesting match-up."
TUF 20, which will air on FOX Sports 1, will begin taping on May 1, 2014, which means the championship fight between Pettis and Melendez won't go down until the later part of the year.
Better late than never.

I'm always on the lookout for muffin recipes that don't include insane amounts of sugar and oil. This one sounded good, but it wasn't gingerbread-y enough. Lacked the *oomph* I think gingerbread should always have. The combination of gingerbread and cranberries, though, is worth working on. I think it could be a killer combo!
Reviewed Jan. 22, 2011
My inlaws liked it. I thought it was a little heavy. And it definitely makes more than a dozen. I usually make my muffins big and I got a dozen and a half.
Reviewed Dec. 12, 2010
I made mini muffins for a church brunch. They taste better the 2nd day as flavors are blended.

Volleyball is into the third week of the season, football has completed one week of play, team tennis matches are already taking place, and we are preparing for the North East Invitational Cross Country meet this coming Saturday at Blossom Athletic Center. Our teams have started off well in all sports. A large number of North East students participate in our athletic programs. Opportunities in the fall of the year for our students include the three team sports of volleyball, team tennis, and football. Cross country is both an individual and team sport and you will see that both individual and team champions are crowned each week in the various meets around the city. Some early success in cross country has been with the Johnson girls winning the Southwest meet and the Reagan girls finishing third in the prestigious New Braunfels meet. Emily Bandy from Johnson won the Southwest meet and Zach Martin from Reagan finished second in New Braunfels.
Without going into considerable detail I can tell you that our volleyball teams have been very successful in early tournaments. Both Churchill and Reagan placed high in the Pearland Tournament which consists of some 72 schools from across the state. Churchill won the North East tournament and Reagan finished third among the 24 entries. This past weekend Lee won the San Antonio ISD Tournament, Churchill finished first in the Smithson Valley Tournament, and Reagan was the runner-up in the Leander Tourney. District 26-5A play begins on Friday, September 13. This morning's San Antonio Express had Churchill #1 and Reagan #2 among all area volleyball teams. Individuals who have distinguished themselves this past weekend in tournaments include all tournament selections for Abby Buckingham and Amy Nettles from Churchill and the same for Ashlie Reasor and Krista Kolbinskie from Reagan.
Six of the seven North East football teams opened the season with a victory this past weekend. Madison went to Lehnhoff Stadium and defeated the number one ranked Steele Knights by a score of 46 – 45. Churchill traveled to Farris Stadium and won over Clark 35 – 20. Roosevelt opened the season on the road under new coach Matt Carroll and defeated Stevens 39 – 27 and MacArthur traveled to Gustafson Stadium and lost to Warren. Our other road game found Reagan playing Wagner at Rutledge Stadium and coming away with a 49 – 25 victory. Johnson hosted Harlingen and won by a score of 35 – 23 and Lee came back to defeat Marshall 17 – 16. This morning's San Antonio Express had Madison #1, Reagan #6, Churchill #9, and Roosevelt #10 among all area football teams. Individual honors as player of the week went to Cody Ennis of Madison for offense and to Deja Morrow of Churchill for defense. This week will find games at each stadium on both Friday and Saturday nights. The athletic department expresses its appreciation to the teams, the bands, the cheerleaders, the dance teams, and the pep squads for a great opening week.
For a complete schedule of all North East athletic events including varsity, subvarsity, and middle school fall sports go to Sports Schedules on the athletic department website. You will also find a stadium schedule for varsity football games at both Comalander and Heroes Stadiums under Fall Sports/Football. North East student athletes and teams are among the best in the state. We are appreciative of the support of each community of these young people and encourage you to come out and "catch the spirit" of your school.

It was a win for Fiorentina, but in the end, the win wasn't enough. Despite the 5-1 victory for la Viola, the last minute goal from Philippe Mexes, putting Milan ahead of Siena, meant that the rossoneri are the ones that (might) be playing Champions League football next season.
Adem Ljajic started off the scoring in the 16th minute. It was nothing dramatic, a simple tap in off a ball from Juan Cuadrado. But it was exactly, exactly what Fiorentina needed.
And then it just got better, when Ljaja scored his second. This time it was with the help of Matias Fernandez, with Ljajic latching on the end of his ball and easily bypassing an onrushing Mattia Perin. But even more crucially, just after the little devil scored, Claudio Terzi headed on a cross from Alessandro Rosi to put Siena ahead of AC Milan.
But the Viola weren't content to leave things in the hands of fate. Before the break, Mati Fernandez put in a third. Less than four minutes after Ljajic's second, Fernandez gave a lovely little turn and then flicked it on past Perin, who at that point, decided his vacation had already started.
After play resumed, the Viola were determined to pay back Pescara for defeating them in Florence. First up was Stevan Jovetic, again helped out by Fernandez. Was it JoJo trying to up his price for a summer transfer, or was he being a loyal Fiorentina player? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain, though: Fiorentina need to lock down Ljajic. The attacker locked down his hat-trick just as the clock ticked over to the hour mark. His good buddy Jovetic set him up, but by this point, no Fiorentina supporter was even paying attention. All eyes were on Siena, where the robur were still leading Milan.
So no one noticed when Pescara actually managed to score. The consolation goal came from Marco Vittiglio, with his first appearance in Serie A. And probably last, quite frankly.
In the end, though, it was all heartbreak for Viola fans. Milan were awarded a penalty, which Mario Balotelli duly converted. With both teams down to ten men, it was almost too easy for the rossoneri to find the goal ahead goal. It was Philippe Mexes that pricked the balloon of Fiorentina's Champions League dream.
Pescara: Mattia Perin; Luciano Zauri, Uros Cosic, Marco Capuano, Antonio Bocchetti; Giuseppe Rizzo, Eugênio Rômulo, Togni, Federico Di Francesco, Birkir Bjarnason, Mervan Celik; Ferdinando Sforzini
Fiorentina: Emiliano Viviano, Nenad Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Marvin Compper; Matias Fernandez, David Pizarro, Borja Valero, Manuel Pasqual, Juan Cuadrado, Stevan Jovetic, Adem Ljajic
Goals: Ljajic 16 (F); Ljajic 24 (F), Fernandez 28 (F); Jovetic 54 (F); Ljajic 59 (F); Vittiglio 76 (P)
