A major theme of The Library Strategy 2005-10 is extending our service to users, with particular emphasis on support for students and on e-strategy development. Much of our work over the past year has therefore been focused on enhancing access to the Library's resources - by extending opening hours and offering improved reference and photocopying facilities, as well as by increasing the amount of material available electronically and making it quicker and easier to identify what is required.
A survey conducted early in 2005 showed substantial support from students for the Library to stay open later. In response, weekday opening at the four sites where demand was strongest was extended during the Easter vacation and summer term until midnight, with Issue Desks open until 9pm. We hope to be able to build on the success of this initiative in 2007.
October 2005 saw the launch of two additional enquiry services, the Information Point at the entrance to the UCL Main Library and the new Enquiries Service in the UCL Cruciform Library. The Information Point is a new venture for the Library, undertaken jointly with the UCL Estates & Facilities Division, as it is readily accessible to all visitors to the Wilkins Building and also provides information about UCL in general. By contrast, the Cruciform Enquiries Service, which is run by the Biomedical Team, is a source of specialist information and advice for staff and students of the UCL Faculty of Biomedical Sciences and associated NHS Trusts.
We were very pleased to have new photocopiers in place at the majority of our centrally-managed sites in time for the start of session. Under the terms of the new contract, we are able to offer a much better service at a lower cost overall: maintenance is greatly improved, we have been able to reduce the cost of both the rechargeable copycard (these now cost £1.00) and colour copies and to hold the price of black and white copies at the previous level.
The Library is committed to providing a comprehensive range of information and resources in electronic format and to improving support to guide users to the most appropriate resources and to make the best use of these.
UCL Library Services has harnessed the considerable language skills of its staff to provide a Language Support Service via our website at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Library/languageskills.shtml. Students and other Library users can contact staff by email to put their questions in one of some 30 languages offered from Arabic to Welsh.
Since the beginning of the Session the Library web pages have been redesigned in accordance with the new UCL Corporate Communications Strategy, while those for Biomedicine & Health have been thoroughly revised and expanded to include a guide to UCL's rich and varied manuscript and rare books holdings on the history of medicine, along with full details of the services available at the twelve biomedical Library sites.
The implementation of MetaLib means that Library users now have access via a single gateway to a wide range of resources, including collections of e-journals, library catalogues and image databases. Users can readily identify which resources they need, and have options such as grouping these together for cross-searching, saving the results and setting up alerts.
Many of these resources are protected by Athens authentication. Implementation in September 2005 of Athens Local Authentication has greatly simplified and speeded up registration, as users are now able to use their existing UCL computing username and password.
The eUCLid public access catalogue has been completely revamped, following an upgrade to the new version of the Aleph integrated library management system, to provide a more user-friendly interface, while its scope continues to expand with the addition of high-quality records for materials in UCL Special Collections and at the Wickford Store.
Particular highlights for scholars and researchers include the completion of work on the monographs in the Graves Collection, on post-1640 books rare or precious enough to be stored in the Strong Room (amongst them the 1810 copy of Samuel Rogers' Pleasures of Memory in which a lost Byron manuscript was found) and on checking and amending the details of over 15,500 journal titles.
In a related development, a comprehensive inventory of the printed works and other important materials belonging to the Montefiore Collection has now been completed. This work was undertaken as part of the arrangements for the renewal of the agreement with the Trustees of the Montefiore Endowment whereby the collection is held on indefinite loan at UCL, where it is a very significant component of UCL's substantial Judaica collections.
For taught-course students, the revised Copyright Licensing Agency licence has allowed us to enhance access to resources by extending our digital course readings service. Wherever possible, newly submitted core course readings from UK publications are now being delivered electronically via the Online Reading Lists service, as are readings retained following the first phase of a substantial project to review the contents of the existing paper-based service. This is a significant contribution to UCL's evolving e-learning strategy, and known to be popular with students, who want access outside library hours and offsite.
We continue to work closely with key partners to ensure that we are offering the best possible level of service to all, while also updating practices and procedures.
Our Biomedicine and Health libraries offer services to staff in associated NHS trusts, and undergo regular NHS accreditation. Of the libraries providing services to the UCL Hospitals Trust, we are very pleased that the Rockefeller Medical Library at the UCL Institute of Neurology and National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery received Level 2 accreditation in June 2006 and that the process is due to be completed very shortly for two other libraries.
In a related development, July saw the renewal of the Service Level Agreement between the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and the UCL Human Communication Sciences Library, reflecting the importance of the HCS as the only dedicated speech therapy collection in the UK and its role as the National Information Centre for Speech-Language Therapy.

"Macchina Sportiva" by Giugiaro for Seiko, 1996
Signore Giugiaro is probably most famous for designing the Volkswagen "Rabbit" (USA) or "Golf" (Europe). Of course this Industrial designer designed many other cars and consumer goods. The "Macchina Sportiva" (sports machine) came in different dial colors (also blue, and orange blue combined, and green) and was also available with a stainless steel bracelet. Furthermore there was a analog-digital version of the same watch. This model uses the ubiquitous 7T32 alarm chronograph movement as it is found in many SEIKO alarm chronographs. The nice blue strap is water-resistant, that is why this watch qualified as my motorbike watch in the very hot tropical climate.

It turns out that the Orioles suck. Like, a lot. And, as one might expect, no one likes to watch sucky baseball. Especially sucky baseball between two sucky teams in sucky weather, as evidenced by the picture below from last night's game (link).
That, my friends, is not a lot of fans. Definitely not the announced attendance of 9,299, and, arguably, not even more than the 1,500 fans the Charm City Rollers draw. Read that again. A roller derby team can outdraw our Major League Baseball team. These are your 2010 Baltimore Orioles.
This whole thing got my roommate and me thinking, how can we get fans to the Yard? What promotional events can the marketing department pull that would entice people to pay real money to waste away a perfectly nice evening watching this terrible team lose? I think we came up with some pretty good ideas that would get some people to OPACY. In fact, they could jack up ticket prices and I would still come for most of these.
1. Julio Lugo Pinata Night - Pretty self-explanatory. The pinata should be filled with anything but base hits.
2. "Lou Montanez Can't Hit, So Let's Deal With It" Matinées - On Sundays, Lou starts in left, and every time his turn in the batting order comes up, one lucky fan will get picked to hit for him. If the collection of fans beat Montanez's batting average that day, they all win something. Just make sure the prize isn't too big, because we will be giving away a lot of them.
3. Garrett Atkins Night - Atkins in a dunk tank on Eutaw Street for the entire game. Everyone gets a pair of Atkins replica fake teeth.
4. "In With the ReimOLD" Bobblehead Night - Turn Reimold's bobblehead night into a homecoming of sorts. Have him throw out the first pitch, deliver the lineup card, and let him be the first base coach for the night. In the 7th inning stretch, he stands on the mound and fans can chuck their bobblehead at him.
5. Adam Jones Curveball Night - Give the first 10,000 fans one of those wiffleballs that you can curve really easily, and make it say "And Jones goes down swinging" every time you throw it.
6. DDDWTF Nights - Give fans signs that say "WTF?", so they can wave them whenever Dave has his WTF moment. A lucky fan gets to pick an inning before the game, and if the biggest WTF moment comes in that inning, he gets to manage the O's for the next game.
7. Mike Gonzalez Meltdown Night - In the middle of the summer, give every fan a Gonzo figurine and a magnifying glass, so they have something to do other than watch the game.

Coffee – Cape Town – "Rcaffe"
Stumbling down Long Street early one morning last week, I was in dire need of a good caffeine fix - ahead of meeting up with my lawyer - which as you know, is often not the most pleasant thing to do at any time of the day, let alone when all good citizens should still be safely ensconced in their pits and in the arms of Morpheus... However, I digress, "Rcaffe" (I am told it is pronounced "aar – café) is a real gem and a great find, right in the heart of good old Cape Town! (For those who can remember that far back, it is where the old "Yellow Pepper Deli" was situated). And - it's in Long Street close to The High Court and Huguenot Chambers (why the reminder of all things legal I ask

It's Friday! And given that we're on the precipice of a weekend, this post should come as divine enlightenment... On a very merry excursion to all sorts of central city venues for debauchery, jollity and merriment, we found ourselves quite under the weather/influence on the taxi trip home. Doing the route back to le loov-leh 17 on Loader (Cape Town's chic bed and breakfast in De Waterkant), the heavens opened and revealed a luminous red sign, on Seapoint Main Road, reading - "Xiang Yuan". With the excitement of teenage girls at the mall, we begged the cab driver to pull over and poured in to Xiang Yuan.

Cape Town Pub-crawl
They call it the pub-crawl for two reasons. 1. There are pubs. 2. The involvement of such pubs occasionally results in the action of crawling. This fact leads us to conclude, that it is our own best interest to rouse bedlam in pubs conducive to crawling. What characteristics determine crawl-worthiness? CLEANLINESS. To pub-crawl is one thing, but to be in a pub already crawling with bugs and Dickensian dodge-cats is a deal breaker. Moreover, hoping optimistically that visible symptoms of Hepatitis F don't materialize, as a result of braving bar snacks, can somewhat suck the fun. Hence requirement two: GOOD BAR SNACKS. In a less then solid state, culinary surprises (and I'm talking about the Halloween trick rather
DJ Rene the Frenchman
While us over at 17onLoader (De Waterkant's premium bed and breakfast) often review back alleys and bustling venues, we don't usually take a look at the lingerers in the limelight. But recently we found ourselves beers-ing with the Frenchman that keeps HQ frantic on Fridays... DJ Rene (the Frenchman - as he is referred to) is the towering, infectiously jovial energy of a man pleased with the way his life's turned out. His bombastically beautiful grey hair bounces as he animatedly gesticulates with a wide, trusty smile. Despite having lived in South Africa for seventeen years, Rene still has the two unmistakable traits of a Frenchman - the accent, and the kind of effortless charm that could hypnotize a girl right into
Good Food and Wine Show Cape Town
The Good Food and Wine show swings into Cape Town today. Sleeves rolled up, salt and pepper at the ready, Cape Town's kitchen-groupies are twitching as excitably as sugared kids at Christmas. The Good Food and Wine Show brings culinary theater, big-name book signings and workshops by world-class chefs. The Chefs In Action Theater brings us the BBC's best chefs in live rapport with local celebs, recreating their most innovative and favourite recipes. For the green-thumbed, prime organic produce is on sale, and the slow food market shows us exactly why slow food is so worth the wait. And with a children's cooking workshop distracting the rugrats, why not let loose a little. It's cocktail o'clock all day

The Denver Broncos had a much-publicized and unexpected resurgent season in 2011, with young quarterback Tim Tebow leading the team to the postseason and an upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers before meeting their match in the New England Patriots. Although the Broncos can be very pleased with how their season ended -- especially compared to expectations before it began -- they are certainly looking for ways to beef up their offense and improve their defense in 2012.
Denver will need to begin with looking at which players to retain for next year. Free agent season begins on March 17, at which point they will need to know where they stand with the 22 players who are due to enter some form of free agency. Here is the full list of impending Broncos free agents, courtesy of Mac's Football Blog.

The World's TT is unusual in that it's usually done in laps, and thus has a lot of intermediate splits. This, naturally, inspires me to play around with spreadsheets.
So here are two charts I created
This is (hopefully) fairly straightforward. It's the average speed of each of the two laps of the riders who finished in the top 10.
You can see that everyone except Wiggins went faster in the first lap than the second. Cancellara started fast and slowed in the second lap, as did Bobridge
This is maybe a little less clear, but allows us to tell something of a story of the race for the top 5 finishers.
This chart is showing the speed compared to Tony Martin, who wasn't going at a constant speed himself - as we saw in the previous chart he slowed in the second lap.
The six coloured bars show the riders average speed compared to Martin in the sections of the course, the next two bars show the speed compared to Martin for the two laps, and the final shows the average speed for the whole Time Trial
The first thing to note is that Martin didn't just lead for the whole race, he was the fastest in every section.
Looking at Bradley Wiggins, we can see he started out considerably slower, but by the final section was almost going as fast as Martin.
Fabian Cancellara started extremely strongly, and raised his game for the second section, perhaps trying to match the incredible pace of Martin. But in the second lap he pays for this effort and falls behind the strong finishing Wiggins.
Bert Grabsch seems to have paced himself remarkably similarly to his victorious compatriot and HTC team mate. Unfortunately he was going more than a km/h slower.
Jack Bobridge started extremely strongly, going at medal winning pace for the first section. He pays for this, going more than 2km/h slower in the second lap, but the youngster still manages an impressive 5th.

When they're on, Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith can dazzle with the variety of ways they can score. Pull-ups, drives, slams, faders over a contesting defender, three-pointers, slick finishes -- both players have huge arsenals from which to draw.
When they're off, they look a lot like they did Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Instead of a variety of different ways to putt he ball in the hoop, they just missed an array of different shots.
Both Smith and Anthony have come down with rather serious cases of the clangs, shooting coldly and ineffectivey, continuing a dangerous trend after poor finishes in their first-round series against the Boston Celtics.
Anthony was 10-for-28 with 27 points. Going back to Game 3 against the Celtics, Anthony is 47-for-135, 34.8 percent, averaging 26.4 points on 27 shots per game.
Smith missed nine of his first ten shots, finishing with 4-for-15 with 17 points. Dating back to Game 5 -- his first after a one-game suspension for elbowing Jason Terry -- he's 12-for-42, 28.6 percent, averaging 14.6 points on 14 shots per game.
There are two stories here. One is that Anthony and Smith are reverting to bad tendencies. As we wrote during the last series, this team has been unwieldily iso-heavy. Both players earned their reputations for questionable shot selection over the courses of their careers, and not by a fluke. Dudes like shooting.
The other is that Indiana's defense was exceptional. Smith's play picked up towards the end of the season as he learned drives to the rim were more successful than contested fadeaways, and Anthony's bulky body going towards the hoop is one of the tougher things to stop in the NBA. But finishing against the Pacers is pretty difficult with Roy Hibbert guarding the rim. Paul George, generally assigned towards Anthony, funneled him towards Hibbert, and the 7'2 Georgetown product was a wall, contesting constantly without fouling.
But as roughly as Anthony and Smith have shot, they're a necessary evil. There's no way they win the series without Anthony and Smith. When Anthony was pulled from the game after picking up his fourth foul in the third quarter, the Knicks were down six. By the end of the quarter, they were down 16.
The team banks to Anthony and Smith for a reason. They're good. They maybe didn't deserve a first-place MVP vote and a Sixth Man of the Year trophy, but both guys were amongst the top players in those debates because of strong seasons on a team that was No. 2 in the Eastern Conference.
But unless they turn their play around, those accolades will be forgotten, washed away by a monsoon of missed shots. Anthony had no excuses in his postgame press conference, streamed on NBA.com:
They outplayed us. They outworked us. Nothing else needs to be said about that. Foul trouble put a little dent in the game. I try not to let that get to me. It is what it is. The shoulder's a shoulder. It is what it is. It's not something I'm going to keep talking about. I'm trying to get the proper treatment for it and get through it.
Raymond Felton pinned Anthony's struggles on the Pacers, accusing them of going after Anthony's shoulder injury suffered against the Celtics:
They're being really physical with Melo. They're banging him, they're hitting him, they're going at his shoulder. It's just one of those things where hopefully he gets some of those calls and goes to the free throw line. But they're being really physical, trying to bang him, trying to frustrate him.
Anthony didn't buy it:
It wasn't physical. I don't think it was physical. Guys just outworked us. I've been in more physical games than this right here. The physicality of this game, they didn't do nothing to me, to us. Like Coach Woodson said, they beat us on the glass, they beat us to all the loose basketballs. They outworked us. I don't think it had anything to do with them being more physical.
It mighta had to do with the refs, though:
You never know how threy're going to call the game. Especially attacking Roy Hibbert off the pick-and-rolls. They were letting Roy Hibbert be a lot more aggressive today than the norm. Like I said, we'll make our adjustments.
Hibbert's praise rightfully earned a lot of praise post-game. From Frank Vogel:
I think defensively its just him and Tyson Chandler are probably the two best rim protectors in the game. Anybody who's watching this series is going to see how to play the center position at its best. He had a lot of drives at him and had a lot of discipline to earn no calls. he had a great night...
He's grown and learned how to understand angles, earning no-calls, playing the game without fouling, staying on the court. All the analytics say he's the toughest guy to score on at the rim.
From David West: In my estimation he's the best big defender in the league. He's anchored our defense all year. He's just tough. When guys constantly see him at the rim, he's not a typical shot-blocker so much as he's swiping for the ball, jumping as high as he can, putting his chest between the guy trying to score and the basket and it's been effective for him all year.

Estudiantes de la Plata captain Juan Sebastian Veron will miss the remainder of the season with a foot injury after scans revealed that he would be forced to undergo arthroscopic heel surgery. The extent of the midfielder's injury was confirmed by club doctor Hugo Montenegro on Tuesday:
After completing tests with a new scan... we saw the muscle was quite weak so we're going to operate, (do) an arthroscopy of the heel.
It's been a difficult season for Veron and Estudiantes, and the 36 year old has been unable to significantly contribute to their title defence due to the persistence of his heel problem, which has apparently been bothering him for months. He'll now miss the last five games of the season, but this is the sort of thing that can mean retirement for a player of his age. Hopefully cleaning his foot out will mean at a least a couple more years of Veron gracing us with his presence on the pitch.

Volcanism is the eruption of material from deep in the Earth. In many cases, eruptions build up a pile of material, a mountain that is called a volcano. But here I'll discuss volcanism, because most eruptions don't build volcanoes. This is a highly simplified treatment of an intricate subject.
Four Types of Magmatic Volcanism
The majority of Earth's volcanism happens underwater at the mid-ocean ridges, or, in plate-tectonic language, at divergent margins. The crust is pulled apart, and the hot rock in the mantle beneath begins to melt as the pressure upon it is released. The part that meltsthe magmarises while the rest of the mantle rock stays behind. The two parts have different compositions: the magma is basalt and what remains is peridotite, a heavier rock that is largely olivine.
This kind of volcanism is mostly a quiet oozing of basalt lava out of long cracks in the seafloor. Seafloor fissure eruptions have been filmed from research submarines, forming pillow lava. There are a few divergent margins on land, and volcanism there is very different from the oceanic case (including Oldoinyo Lengai, the world's weirdest volcano).
The second type of volcanism happens in association with subduction zones (that is, convergent margins), places where oceanic plates laden with water and sediment plunge into the hot mantle. It is responsible for building most of the world's volcanoes. Fluids that are driven off the descending plates rise into the upper, overriding plate where they promote the formation of magma. Notice that in this case magma is created by adding water to mantle rock, not by releasing pressure on it.
Subduction-created magma rises into the lower crust, where it collects and occasionally erupts vigorously, even explosively (see the eight-point Volcanic Explosivity Index or VEI). The geometry of subduction means that volcanoes tend to appear in long arcs (see more on arc volcanism).
The third type of volcanism covers the small fraction of volcanoes, about 10 percent, in places that aren't related to divergent or convergent margins. These are lumped together as hotspot volcanoes. There are two schools of thought about hotspots. The majority of geologists consider hotspots to arise from very deep in the mantle, in rising plumes of hot material. A minority has a newer theory involving fracturing of the lithospheric plates, in which magmas form much as they do in divergent settings (see more on these hotspot alternatives).
The fourth type is not occurring today, but has happened in recent geologic history. It is flood volcanism, in which enormous amounts of basalt lava pour out of fissures and cover areas of thousands of square kilometers. Flood basalts appear both on land (for example the Columbia River Basalts and the Deccan Traps) and under the sea (the Ontong Java Plateau, Kerguelen Plateau, and more). These are under intense study but remain a major unsolved problem in geology.
Products of Volcanism
Volcanism recycles the material that goes through plate tectonics. To a first approximation, everything that is subducted returns to the surface in magma. When magma is eruptedthat is, when magma becomes lavait returns solids, fluids and gases to the Earth's crust and surface.
The solids are igneous rocks, ready to enter the rock cycle. They may be flows of lava that cool into thick layers of hard rock, or shattered fragments of volcanic ash. Either way, the minerals of igneous rocks become available to turn into sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (learn more about the three great rock classes).
The fluids act underground. As they rise magmas release water, which incorporates with it dissolved silica, metals and other elements in a chemically active mix. These magmatic fluids can alter the rocks around them and deposit bodies of ore and sulfate minerals.
The gases are what cause lava to erupt. Just as bubbles form in an opened can of soft drink, so do sulfur gases, carbon dioxide, and water vapor in rising magma. The result is that rising magma expands, and this in turn makes it rise faster. The volcanic gases enter the atmosphere, where they influence its composition and affect the global climate in various ways.
Nonmagmatic Volcanism
There are less well-known types of volcanism that don't involve magma: mud volcanism is one. Mud volcanoes come in two types. On land, hundreds of them occur in areas where hydrocarbons are abundant, like Trinidad or Azerbaijan (see this example). Under the sea, thousands of them occur near subduction trenches, where serpentinite mud is abundant (about serpentinization).
Another newly discovered form of volcanism involves asphalt. Asphalt flows were first documented on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico in 2003. No one knows how many of these tar volcanoes there are.

Hello, and welcome to the Video Game Caption Game!
Basically how the caption game will work is that I will post a picture below, and everyone else will get to take that picture, and post a caption for it. Then, after we've gotten a couple of people to post some witty captions, the voting will start! During this time, no more captions can be made. Instead, people can vote on what they think is the best, wittiest, and funniest caption! The person who receives the most votes for their caption will then get to post a new picture, so the fun can keep on going!
When posting a caption, be sure that you're not too inappropriate. We want to keep the forums (relatively) clean, so don't say anything too inappropriate or else you'll be banned from the game.
If you still don't understand how to write a caption, I'll give you a few options.
1) Write what the characters in the picture could be saying in that situation.
2) Write something from a 3rd-person angle, describing the scene.
4) Go for the lulz! Try to make it funny! Follow either 1 or 2, but be sure to make it funny!
I'll start it off with a picture from Uncharted:


text: It is not a secret that Jake Long is the finest lineman to date at Michigan. So much so that he became the first Wolverine selected in the number one spot in the NFL draft in sixty one years. His presence on the line gave Michigan a valid excuse to run off-tackle left plays to their heart's content, even if it was the most aggravating form of "Lloydball." When a running game's strategy includes "run behind Jake Long," it gets a pass.

It looks as though the lockout in finally nearing it's end. After months of absolutely no real football related news (Brandon Marshall getting shived notwithstanding), they finally seemed to have figured things out. Next week is going to be a tornado of activity. Training camp, rookie signings, free agents and most importantly no more lawyer-speak.
With all this stuff going on, we are about to be inundated with a whole slew of Fin Fans on this site. Most are good, solid fans, with a few bandwagoners straying in as we get closer to opening night. The fanpost cluster F is going to be going into high gear. So before that happens, I just wanted to clink glasses with all of the members of the Phinsider who were here all through the lockout, discussing endlessly any scrap of news we could.
For pete's sakes, at one point we were discussing the size of Chad Henne's boobs.

Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida are all set to swing at UFC 157 in Anaheim, California, later this month.
"Hendo" is an Olympic Greco-Roman Wrestler and has a dangerous right hand that claimed the first Knockout on the records of great fighters, such as Michael Bisping and Fedor Emelianenko. "The Dragon" is always focused on executing his strategy -- to use unorthodox kicks -- with pin-point accuracy, and setting them up with straight punches.
When asked what he will be looking out for, when facing his opponent's unique style, on Feb. 23 -- later this month. Henderson responded (via MMA Weighin):
"He's awkward. He's quick, he throws a lot of goofy kicks and a nice straight-left. It's just a matter of coming up with a gameplan, sticking to it and making him fight my fight."
Dan might want to ask his longtime training partner Randy Couture, how those "goofy" kicks feel?
Both Henderson and Machida were surpassed by Chael Sonnen, who will be facing Jon Jones for the title in April, once The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 17 is said and done. Both have been clamoring for a second shot at the Light Heavyweight Championship.
Also, Henderson shares some thoughts on how he feels the fight between Jones and Sonnen, in April 27. in Newark, New Jersey will play out -- more below, from "Hendo".
"I definitely think Chael will put him on his back. I think Chael will surprise him with his standup, too. He has a good shot at winning."
"Hendo" was defeated by Quinton Jackson in a back-and-forth brawl, but eventually resulting in a unanimous decision win for "Rampage". Lyoto fought current champion Jon Jones, for the title. "The Dragon" took "Bones" to the second round and was utilizing great movement and even landed a glancing left-hand that wobbled the champion. Then, Jones tackled him to the mat and sliced his face with a sharp elbow before locking in a tight guillotine choke that left the former titleholder unconscious, and back at square one.
Will the "H-Bomb" land in "The Dragon's" lair, or can Machida make Henderson eat his words -- and a couple toenails?
Find out at UFC 157: "Rousey vs. Carmouche". When the ladies take center stage after one of these 205-pounders land their leather. Maybe, for a title shot?

The Bronson Reel Company began manufacturing fishing reels in 1928 at 505 N. Douglas Street in Bronson, MI. Employees made their own dies, tools and fixtures in a machine shop. They also did their own plating and anodizing. In 1963, the company was purchased by Bronson Specialties. Production of fishing reels declined and was discontinued in 1968. Although plating operations stopped at that time, metal tooling and other manufacturing operations continued at the facility until the early 1990s. These industrial activities contributed to the contaminated soil on the property.
North Bronson Former Facilities
Former Bronson Reel Facility
A Record of Decision (ROD) issued September 2006 requires
- a warranty deed restriction on the property to require follow-up sampling under the site buildings if the foundations are ever removed
- groundwater use restrictions because of concerns about site-wide groundwater contamination that impacts the northern industrial area of Bronson
Former L.A. Darling Facility
This facility contains metal and solvent contamination in its soil and groundwater. The site Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) completed the Remedial Investigation (RI) Report in 2006 and submitted a draft Feasibility Study (FS) for EPA review in fall 2006. If not cleaned up, the contamination in the underground water can travel off-site and cause vapor intrusion problems. EPA has been monitoring properties near the former L.A. Darling site and the adjacent former Scott Fetzer property. The cleanup goal for the former L.A. Darling property is to reduce chemical levels in the soil to concentrations acceptable for future industrial redevelopment. The goal for the underground water supply is to stop contaminated ground water from moving beyond the property boundary and ultimately clean it to a level that is safe for drinking and other uses.
Former Scott Fetzer Facility
The former Scott Fetzer facility also contains metal and solvent contamination in its soil and groundwater. As with the L.A. Darling facility, there are concerns with the possible vapor intrusion from contaminated groundwater originating from the former Scott Fetzer facility.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A St. Paul organization that houses about 100 poor, elderly people is looking forward to the renewal of what used to be an annual donation: booze confiscated by the police.
The St. Paul Police Department stopped its routine donations to the Holy Family Residence near downtown a few years ago.
Sister Theresa Robertson, who manages the residence, wrote last month to St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith asking him to resume the donations. Sister Theresa called it "such a pleasant treat" for some of the residents.
On Wednesday, the City Council voted to let police ship up to $10,000 in confiscated alcohol to the group each year.
Sister Theresa tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the donation "will certainly enhance" the group's regular Sunday happy hour.

April 22, 2008 - By limiting individual states' ability to provide health coverage to moderate-income children, the Bush administration violated federal law, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report released last week.
Despite many working families struggling with skyrocketing health care costs, President Bush twice last year vetoed legislation expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
As a result, many state officials have stepped up efforts to provide more children with health insurance. The Bush administration, however, has gone one step further and blocked states from using money for to cover many middle income children.
While the Bush administration will not be forced to rescind their directive, the decision provides much needed support to multiple states looking to expand health insurance to more children and reduces the chances the policy can be put into effect before Bush leaves office.

Chapter 40 Reviews
Chapter 4
"Mr. Way, I'm afraid you can't return to the stage yet," she said nervously. Gerard frowned.
"Why not? The intermission's almost over; we have to play our second set." That was when he heard the crowd's collective laughs and cheers. He pushed past the girl and through a crowd of several black-shirted tech crew members, trying to get to the stage. He stopped in the wings before anyone could see him. He had to see what this was all about. Why were the guys on stage without him? And why was Bob holding a microphone? He decided to listen in hopes that he would find out.
"He died upon the cross. I thought that I was free," Bob said slowly. Ray toned down the music accordingly, letting the sounds of the piano take over. Mikey ran to the other side of the stage and quickly shed his robe.
"Finally, people would get to know me for me," he said, placing a hand over his heart. Mikey walked back on stage in his typical Black Parade uniform.
"Hi Bob," he said with a wave.
"Hey Judas," Bob said with a smile. The crowd roared with laughter. Gerard's eyes widened when he saw this, but still he made no attempt to stop the performance.
"This was my big chance to finally get ahead..." Mikey walked offstage again and put the robe back on over his head, waiting calmly for his cue.
Gerard had seen enough. He pushed past the last few tech people and walked on stage with his hands firmly clasped behind his back. His lips were drawn into a thin line, and he had a questioning look in his eyes.
The crowd began to laugh. Wondering why, Bob looked to his right and immediately wished he hadn't. His face fell upon seeing the lead singer. He suddenly realized Ray was waiting for his cue, and decided to keep going with the song. They would talk about this in a minute.
"The next thing you know, he's rising from the dead!" He motioned to Gerard as he sang the line.
"D'oh!" said Frank when he realized that Gerard was on stage; luckily it fit in well with the song. The crowd was laughing harder than the lead singer would have thought possible.
"Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob, a nobody relative of the Son of God. If only I'd been born just a little sooner, I'd be more than the brother of God Jr."
"Everybody!" shouted Frank and Ray, purposely overpowering the last word. They were determined to draw this out as long as possible. Mikey saw what was happening and remained in the wings. He was terrified of what Gerard would do to him, and knew he was already in trouble. No sense in making it worse.
"I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.!" Bob led the three of them in taking a bow at the end of the song. He looked at Gerard, who was waiting patiently a few feet away from him. He clearly wanted to know what was going on. /Now/.
"...Hey, Gerard," Bob said nervously, trying to keep his voice steady as he spoke into the microphone. The crowd said 'ooh' all at once. They knew Bob was in trouble.
"Would someone like to tell me what's going on here?" he asked calmly, speaking into Bob's microphone. The drummer glanced back at his friends.
"Actually, yeah, I would. Let's be frank."
"No pun intended!" Frank shouted into his mic, trying to create a worthy distraction. Ray smacked him upside the head, and everyone laughed as it turned into an all out brawl. The tech people quickly broke this up before any people - or instruments - were injured.
"I'm tired of you not even caring that I'm in this group, Gerard," said Bob, placing the microphone back in its stand and stepping away from it so no one would hear him. The crowd went unnaturally silent so they could do just that. "You've completely forgotten about Matt. And whatever differences there were between you two, I think you should still respect him. What's to say that won't be me someday? Sure, I hope that day never comes. But you're taking all the credit for this band, and I'm sick of it." Gerard was taken aback, and his face reflected it. He hadn't expected anything like this. A joke, maybe. Someone to shout 'April Fools!'. But not this.
"I...I'm sorry you feel that way, Bob. But that's not what I think at all." He crossed the stage and stole the guitarists' microphone. "In fact, Bob, we couldn't have this band without you." Mikey decided it was safe to walk back on stage. The crowd cheered for all five of them, and Bob smiled.
"Thanks, G," he said, walking over and giving him a hug.
"Aww..." said the crowd. There were several camera flashes, but they didn't care. Bob pulled away from him.
"You got the whole thing on video, right?" asked Gerard. Bob nodded. "Good. I want to watch it when we get back to the bus."

Thanks to an ambitious group of middle school students, scientists in Maine are learning more about the state's beaches.
Seventh graders at Scarborough Middle School will spend several hours Tuesday on Scarborough Beach measuring the slope of the beach.
They call it beach profiling and do it once a month during the lowest tide.
Once the students collect their data, they send it to geologist in Augusta who use the information to identify dune patterns.
The students say they hope their work inspires Mainers to help save the state's beautiful beaches.

Mellon Drops
Although it's against my brain wiring to want to "be" anyone else, there are certain persons for whom I might bend those rules a bit just to see how it felt to be them for a day. Take Tamara Mellon for a moment. Where to we begin? Legs for miles, a head for business, head of a famed Jimmy Choo empire, a shoe collection every girl dreams of (after all, if it's missing from her shoe wardrobe she simply designs it and - voila! - it appears in the product lineup and invariably in her closet. And then there's the matter of her NYC apartment. I can't stop gawking over it. More importantly, she's powerful, fun woman with a social calendar build to actually put those glamorous things to use.
Fortunately for me, an out of body experience isn't necessary. With a little focus I too can build a Choo Choo train of shoes to line my closet walls. And I can certainly recreate a few elements from her swanky Manhattan pad and equally swanky lifestyle.
First, there's the matter of that light fixture in her living room. Do you see it? I can't take my eyes from it. I love it. I need it. I want it. Right over my desk. Jewelry for the ceiling. It is nothing short of hot.It seems to be a George Kovacs fixture, although it is remarkably similar to this Janice Minor fixture as well. Regardless: it is mine. And that gets me one step closer to lifting some of her swanky style.
And since I'm in "King Midas" mode, loving every gold thing in sight,we might as well head on over to 1stDibs.com and see what else I can find to get me felling Mellon-y. These Maison Jansen nesting tables ought to do it. But since Tamara has a predeliction for wild things, I suspect this ram's head coffee table would be a fron runner in her shopping spree. After all, her enviable desk is made from a brass ram's head base - and it is to die for. But let's focus on the piece de resistance... her iconic white tufted leather sofa. Id you're really going for her look, it's a must. This one from 1stDibs should do nicely.
Add in a dash of apple green, sequins and towering heels and you've got the perfect Mellon Drop cocktail. Stay tuned as we stalk more celebrity homes and choose some of the key elements of style necessary to recreate those look. Ciao, bella!
Photos of Tamara's apartment procured from Accidental Chic, Velvet Moss and Harpers Bazaar.

Jeremy Hammond, a former member of the hacking network Anonymous who has become a cause célèbre for hacktivists, civil libertarians and those concerned about the rights of whistleblowers, is a gifted young computer programmer who is currently spending a decade in prison. His crime? Leaking information from the private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting, information which revealed that Stratfor had been spying on human rights activists at the behest of corporations and the U.S. government.
In March 2012 Jeremy was arrested in his Chicago home and charged with violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the same legislation used to prosecute Aaron Swartz. This outdated law, written before the Internet was even created, gives absurdly broad powers to corporations and prosecutors to criminalize an array of online activity and pursue extreme and disproportionate sentences. By contrast, Jeremy's co-defendants in Ireland will not be prosecuted and in the U.K. none will spend more than 16 months in prison.
In a non-cooperating plea deal, Jeremy pled guilty to one count of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Despite lodging nearly 265 letters of support calling on judge Loretta Preska to show leniency, Jeremy was sentenced to the maximum allowed under his plea agreement.
Since his arrest, Jeremy has been denied bail, cut off from his family, and held in solitary confinement– treatment normally reserved for the most egregious offenses. He did nothing for personal gain and everything in hopes of making the world a better place and he needs our support now more than ever. Please visit this website often to learn how you can help!

The United States has ordered more of its embassy staff out of South Sudan, saying the move was due to a "deteriorating security situation," even as opposing sides agree to talks, Reuters reports.
Though South Sudan's government and rebels scheduled talks to begin January 1st, the drawdown of U.S. personnel shows deep concern about the likelihood of peace negotiations stemming from these meetings. The embassy withdrawal comes on the heels of fighting reported in the key town of Bor, which has changed hands three times since the unrest began.
Violence began in the country on December 15th, when loyalists to president Salva Kiir and rebels backing former vice president Riek Machar started fighting against one another. Kiir and Machar represent the two largest ethnic groups in South Sudan, the Dinka and Nuer. As the world's newest country, the South Sudanese still heavily identify along ethnic, not national, lines.
Since fighting broke out on December 15th, more than a thousand people have been killed and over 200,000 have fled their homes, raising the threat of a civil war pitting Kiir's Dinka and Machar's Nuer.

Many people purchase the Neverfull tote bag from Louis Vuitton, but don't know its hidden capabilities. Everybody knows that the bag is practical and can be used to hold a lot of their belongings. However, was that all it was designed for though? Read on and I'll show you the way the Neverfull was meant to be worn.
The Neverfull tote bag is opened and closed by a simple clip in the center interior of the bag. This makes this handbag an easy target for pickpockets. So what should Neverfull owners do? The side edges of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag can be folded in to look like the above picture. When folded, it makes the gaps smaller; which in turn discourages pickpockets from targeting you. Folding your Louis Vuitton Neverfull also makes it seem like a completely different style bag. It also allows for easier mobility (the large Neverfull tote bag can be too protruding making you prone to bumping into your surroundings). Well gals, there you have it! Go on ahead and change the look of your Louis Vuitton Neverfull immediately!

Bones of Betrayal by Jefferson Bass
Posted by litekepr on April 2, 2010
I just completed the 4th book in the Body Farm novel series and its great. The review I read all said it was the best so far and I have to agree. I've enjoyed each book in this series and really enjoy the stories, the characters, the forensic details and much more.
For people who aren't familiar with these books – they are a collaboration between Dr Bill Bass (from the University of Tennessee and the founder of "the Body Farm") and Jon Jefferson (author, director, producer). They are both awesome people and they have collaborated on 6 books to date – unless I've missed any others. They have the Body Farm fiction series and also the Body Farm non fiction books – all center around Dr Bass' experiences as a forensic anthropologist.
This is the 4th book in the fiction series and you can read each individually, but each story builds on the last and I like all the additional detail I bring to the story since I've read them all. BUT do NOT let that stop you from checking out this new book if you haven't read the others. You can always go back and read them later :)
This book is set in Tennessee and it is centered around an interesting death in Oak Ridge – the home of the atomic bomb. I love novels that share real history and this book includes a lot of history and detail about what happened in this small town in the mountains in the 40s – before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That history is woven into the story very well and we meet Beatrice – who is our narrator about much of the intimate history that took place in her life in Oak Ridge. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
All of the Dr Bass stories include interesting and unusual deaths – but I would expect no less :) This book is no exception. In the beginning of the book, Dr Brockton (the main character based on Dr Bass) is called to a crime scene and the dead body is frozen in the water in a pool. In true Dr Bass fashion – he uses his beloved chain saw to cut the body out of the ice. The body is removed from the pool – but the chainsaw is also lost in the pool. That is only the first mishap. The body is taken back to the morgue and during the autopsy, it is discovered that the body died from the inside out – and a radioactive pellet is discovered inside the body. That all happens in the first 4 chapters.
There are so many details I'd like to share, but I don't want to give too much away. However I will share some tidbits -
1 – the chain saw isn't the only thing in the bottom of the pool
2 – the radioactive pellet stirs up a series of complications
3 – there are a second and third dead body as the story progresses
4 – Dr Brockton meets a woman who looks very much like his lady love that was killed in an earlier book
5 – Miranda (Dr B's able assistant) meets a charming young man – and they bump heads early in on
6 – a roll of film in the freezer holds clues to spies and murder
7 – Beatrice may not be who she appears to be
8 – Dr Brockton's new lady friend has a detailed history
9 – we even get a tour of the sewer lines in Oak Ridge
Highly recommended for people who like mysteries, murder mysteries, forensic detail, historic locations and events in fiction and anyone who just likes a really good story. Can't wait for the next book :)

Out of curiousity, I scanned the game logs for both the Mets and the Phillies wondering how often they scored runs this season and whether there were any similarities. Imagine my surprise when I found out the Phillies scored 2 or fewer runs the exact same number of times as the Mets, and were within two games of the Mets in regard to scoring 3 or less runs in a game. Also, I noticed the Phillies were just as likely to score 7+ in a game as they were to score 2 or less.
Upon looking the peripherals, it seems fallacious to presume such a thing,since the Mets' splits were .249/.314/.383 (13th, 14th, and 12th respectively in the NL) with a team OPS+ of 90 whereas the Phillies hit at a stellar .260/.332/.413 (all 5th in the NL) and a team OPS+ of 99. To put that into perspective and using players that fit the criteria of averaging 3.1 plate appearences per game, starting 8 Michael Bourns (.265/.341/.346, OPS+ of 90) would have been just as effective offensively as the average lineup the Mets were unleashing on the National League for most of the season. Conversely, the Phillies put out the offensive equivalent of 8 James Loneys per game (.267/.329/.395, OPS+ of 99).
However, James Loney is an incredibly streaky hitter as evidenced by his Pre-ASB numbers of .309/.361/.803 and his post-ASB splits of .211/.285/.331 (granted he was aided by an incredibly high .344 BABIP in the first half, and hurt by an immensely unlucky .243 for the second half but BABIP is not the crux of my argument). Likewise, the Phillies offense can go absolutely comatose at times, often to the extent of this year's Mets.
I did some baseball-reference number crunching and came up with the following (which confirms my theory that the Phillies offense isn't as good as the peripherals indicate) from the teams' respective game logs (any mistakes are mine):
The 2010 Mets were shutout 11 times (0-11 in such games of course)
The 2010 Phillies were shutout 11 times. (0-11)
The 2010 Mets scored 1 run or less 30 times this season. (5-25 in such games)
The 2010 Phillies scored 1 run or less 34 times this season. (6-27)
The 2010 Mets scored 2 runs or less in 51 games this year (9-41 in those games)
The 2010 Phillies scored 2 runs or less in 51 games this year (13-38)
The 2010 Mets scored 3 runs or less in 77 games this year (20-57 in those games)
The 2010 Phillies scored 3 runs or less in 75 games this year (24-51).
I certainly do concede that in 9 out of the 11 Phillies shutouts, the hideously bad offensive duo of Juan Castro (OPS+ 29... swear to God, they actually gave him 136 PAs this year; and you thought Alex Cora was bad) or Wilson Valdez (OPS+ 79 in 363 PAs) had to start, but of the Mets 11 shutouts Jeff Francoeur (OPS+ 80 for a corner outfielder in 447 PAs) and Ruben Tejada (OPS+ 62 in 255 PAs) were starting the majority of them along with the Barajas/Blanco platoon (82/58 OPS+ respectively).
In spite of the lineups, the Phillies still had 6 players this year to post an OPS+ of 100 or better with at least 433 PAs: Jayson Werth (145 OPS+ in 652 PAs), Carlos Ruiz (128 OPS+ in 433 PAs), Ryan Howard (128 OPS+ in 620 PAs), Chase Utley (124 OPS+ in 511 PAs), Raul Ibanez (112 OPS+ in 636 PAs), and Shane Victorino (102 OPS+ in 648 PAs).
The Phillies still had 6 above average-to-excellent hitters in their lineup for the majority of the season, and still could make runs seem as scarce a commodity as the Mets did.
Of course, as you get much higher the numbers drastically shift in the Phillies' favor. For example, Phillies had 29 games of 9+ runs of offense this year (27-2), while the Mets had only 9 (9-0). Still, this Phillies offense can sputter at the drop of a hat, usually comparable to the rate of the Mets.
Do not get me wrong, I certainly do concede that the Phillies are talented, but also volatile. Any team that poses a nearly equal oppotunity of scoring 7+ runs (52 times this year) in any given game or scoring two or fewer (51 times this year) cannot be classified any other way.
The Mets scored 7+ runs 25 times this year and two or fewer in the same 51 instances this year. The Mets offense wasn't volatile this year, it was just bad.
Over a large sample size of 162 games, you can be volatile and still win 97 baseball games in a season. However, when your season now has been shrunk to a 3 or 4 game sample size to determine whether you persist in playing baseball or not, volatility can be immensely damning for one's chances of winning. That being said, the Phillies may go out tomorrow and demolish Madison Bumgarner, or they may go down meekly as they are prone to doing in stretches. I just don't know.
Any objections, corrections, and other stats are endorsed and appreciated.

How do you design for a young, emerging market that has been empowered to be different? This was the challenge we faced when Logitech approached us to design a wireless keyboard mouse combo for the Chinese youth market. Within this competitive landscape; the combo needed to differentiate itself from competitors and retail at a low price point of 119RMB ($18USD).
Being considerate of a youthful, budget-conscious market who desire products which appeal to their sense of individuality and confidence was fundamental to our approach. They live in compact dwellings which makes the consideration for space a key concern. We found that this limit on personal space also encourages this generation to create dwellings which are rich in expression to reflect their own character.
In order to resonate with this young target audience the design of the MK240 combo focuses on being fun, fresh and expressive. The solution, a solid-state, compact form factor which creates a fresh, confident design that is not afraid to express its geometry and volume. Bright accent colours create character and individuality in a product category saturated with monotone competitors. The compact nature of the design also fits seamlessly into the cluttered lifestyle which this youthful generation lead.

Waking the Red's resident westerner pens a welcoming open letter to ex-Columbus Crew man Robbie Rogers on his new life, complete with wisdom and advice!
The issue of LGBT acceptance in sport has been a hot topic in recent years, and much effort has been made to put that issue on the forefront. And while there are a few Brandon Ayanbadejos out there, there are still far too many Chris Cullivers and Luiz Felipe Scolaris still resisting the tide. For those who suffer in silence under these Cullivers and Scolaris, or even in their own private Idahos, there are stories to tell...and that is why I've created the Teddy Perrault Diaries. Teddy is a fictional MLS player that is struggling with balancing who he is, with his love and desire for soccer -- the story may be fictional, but the facts behind them are all too common. Entries are being posted each day, with new ones each day in February. I will post updates on WTR, so come on over and check it out...and if you like it, share it with the world!

Here's the second of two parts of a special series from Paul over at East Side Stand Up, in time for Toronto's Pride Week. Let's hope this will be the catalyst for change at TFC...or not. EIther way, homphobia sucks.
It's already well into Pride Week in Toronto, but despite talk of action, TFC has still done nothing to recognize the LGBT community in the city, while teams like Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo have. So East Side Stand Up is making light of this issue, in my comic character's debut. This is the first of two parts, see the rest of it tomorrow.

General manager, Geico – WV, CHARLESTON, 31
On his first paying job:
"I stocked shelves at Publix in Atlanta, Ga., in high school."
Matt Bischof didn't realize he was a West Virginia kind of guy until he got here.
"I'm a big fly fisherman, and Bridge Day was amazing," Bischof said. "This is a great place to raise a family, and we're happy to put roots down here."
Bischof is one of the faces behind the Geico gecko in West Virginia. The insurance company does most of its business by phone and Internet, but Bischof said West Virginians like to do business with people, and he's happy to get to know people in the Kanawha Valley to try to solve their problems.
"The people are just great," Bischof said of his customers. "We're trying to let people know there is a local face here so you can swing by, and if you're upset with your provider, come check out Geico."
Bischof lived in Atlanta through high school then got a double major in accounting and corporate finance from Western Carolina University. Before jumping into the world of accounting, though, Bischof moved to Montana to be a ski bum for a while. His father-in-law opened a Morgantown Geico office and asked Bischof to be the business manager. So Bischof and his wife, Jennifer, moved to West Virginia.
Bischof said it didn't take long to realize West Virginia had demand for a second office, so he jumped at the opportunity to leave Morgantown for Charleston.
"Talk about life changes — my wife and I moved in December 2010, we had our first daughter Nov. 8, 2011, we signed a lease here in Charleston in December, we opened January 1st, and we have one more on the way in June," Bischof said.
The Charleston Geico location grew from a few dozen policies last winter to about 300 policies per month to become one of the top new offices in the country.
"I didn't invent the product I'm selling, and I don't have control over the price," Bischof said. "That's why I provide a new, better way of customer service."
Bischof said he wants to be as involved in the community as possible. He supports the United Way, Dollar Energy Fund and the Charleston Area Alliance. His family attends Christ Church United Methodist, and he said he can't wait to fish the Elk River.


text: I saw this picture, and thought it needed to be made into a wallpaper, so here it is (thanks to hellinthehall.com and Matt Wickham for the photo). It features senior captain Chris Smith, who has been playing really good basketball since the start of the season. I was a little worried about Smith during the 2 scrimmages and 2 exhibition games, but he seems to have gotten out of his slump and is playing very solid in every aspect. He has never been a player to light the other team up, but he hits the open shot, finds his teammates, and plays solid defense. So Kuric and Smith have both gotten wallpapers this season, maybe fellow captain Peyton Siva will be next?

The strongest might think they'll rule this tug-of-war game. But just watch what happens when they yank their rope too hard against a wily opponent.
Make sure to play this on a soft surface in case someone takes a tumble. If a smaller person is playing against a much bigger person, try having the bigger one stand on one foot, or have a spottler help the little one control the rope. If you really want to have fun on a hot summer's day, build a few gooey mud pits around the stumps. Just don't forget to have the hose handy.
Set up two stumps (upside-down milk crates) about 6 to 12 feet apart. Lay the 30-foot length of rope between the stumps, leaving the surplus rope coiled at both ends.
The players, standing on the stumps, pull or relax the rope, trying to get the other to lose his or her balance and step off. Might is not always right here. A hard tug can be neutralized by a loosened grip?and the sudden slack can make the tugger teeter.

A Goodlettsville Waffle House employee says she was kidnapped and pistol-whipped.
The employee was on a break at the Waffle House on Conference Drive when she disappeared Sunday.
She later showed up at an apartment complex on Northcreek Boulevard in Goodlettsville pleading for help after she was let out of her accused captor's car.
Police say the incident started when April Ezentouti showed up to the Waffle House and accused the victim of cheating with her husband.
The victim says she got in the car to talk to the suspect but Ezentouti drove off and pulled out a gun.
After allegedly beating the employee over the head with the gun, police say Ezentouti let the woman out of the car near an apartment complex.
The victim was immediately taken to Skyline Hospital and is said to have a broken hand.
According to jail records, police found Ezentouti Sunday night and charged her with aggravated kidnapping.

Door Problems of Mazda MPV
Mazda MPV owners have reported 12 problems related to door (under the structure category).
#1 - Door problem of the 2005 Mazda MPV
The car involved was a 2005 Mazda Mpv. The driver's side power sliding door rarely works. Typically it opens 1-3 inches then stops and beeps. If I manually open it a few more inches then press the button again it works on occasion, other times I must turn off the power to move it at all. It is a 2005 Mpv with only 22,500 miles. Also, on occasion the rear latch of the sliding door cycles, like it's trying to secure the door, while driving. I only recently purchased it so I don't know if this only occurs in winter (in WI) or not. I have not yet taken it to the dealer. However, my next door neighbor has the identical van (except his has 35,000 miles and is an lx, rather than my ES). He has had his for two years and has problems with both power doors, especially in winter. His has been to the dealer three times with them claiming the can not correct the problem. He has problems many times even opening the doors manually (with power option off) in winter. Both of us have three kids and this is tremendously irritating needing to load three children through the front doors, climb over the driver's buckets to the rear and buckle the kid's in, climb back over the buckets and drop them off at school repeating the whole process. Other than the "sliding" doors we love our vans. It was 02/28/08 when this door issue happened.

#11 - Door problem of the 2000 Mazda MPV
On my Mazda Mpv, the driver's side sliding door exterior handle detached from the back connection to the door and then completely came off in my hand on the following opening. Now the entire exterior door handle is missing. To correct this issue, I went to the original dealer. I was told this was a part that was not even stocked at the dealer and would need special order. It was recommended to me to search for the part myself. In doing so, I have found that hundreds of others are also searching for exterior door handles to the sliding doors on the Mazda Mpv van. This is a manufacturing error, not a consumer error. It was Sun., May. 1, 2005 when this door issue happened.

The liftgate failed and the trunk would fall down on top of her. The manufacturer was notified, but there were no recalls for her VIN that pertained to the failures. The contact found several technical service bulletins regarding these failures; however, the manufacturer would not take any responsibility for repairing the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 53,000. This door issue occurred Thursday, Jan. 10, 2002.

As you know, each website on the internet has a different design and purpose so costs to build a website vary. For example, the cost to build a simple informational website will be different from the cost to build a site with a shopping cart. These factors must be considered when calculating a price for each web design project.
To better serve you, please take a minute to tell us more about your business. Be sure to include your project budget, current website address if available, and best time to contact you with a design quote.
It is also helpful to include a few websites that you like so
we may have a better idea of what kind of site you have in mind.
For your convenience, we have a portfolio available online that
may offer you some ideas for your new website or you may provide
us with another website address that you like better.
