Augusta, GA (WJBF) -- The GRU Augusta men's basketball team hit the practice floor for the first time this season Tuesday Night. Head Coach Dip Metress hopes its the start of something big in 2013-2014.
The Jaguars are coming off a disappointing season that was marred by a pair of suspensions. One of those suspended players, Harold Doby, is back, and Coach Metress is excited to have his talented big man back in the fold. Doby is one of 8 returning lettermen. The Jags also add eight newcomers. Metress is hoping this group can regroup after finishing 4th in the Peach Belt East Division last year.

Medical care
As for all travel to Africa, certain vaccination is also recommended for Kenya. Details can be found at: http://www.reisemed.at/country/countries.html
If during you stay, you remain solely at our sport centre and the national parks and do not venture south or east of Nairobi (Mombasa, Kilimanjaro etc.), a malaria prophylaxis course is not necessary in our view. The highlands of Kenya are free of malaria thanks to their high altitude and the associated climate.
We do of course have first aid equipment available at the sports centre should basic medical care be necessary during your stay, and the Kijabe Mission Hospital is located just 30 minutes away. The hospital has a reputation as one of the best equipped hospitals in Kenya and so we can guarantee the best possible treatment should an emergency arise.

They were down, but not out.
After losing their first game on Friday to the University of Alabama-Birmingham by a score of 6-3, the Bruin softball team came roaring back on Saturday.
In their first elimination game on Saturday, they convincingly defeated IPFW (that's Indiana University-Perdue University Fort Wayne, by the way) 8-0. Then, in the nightcap, they destroyed the #15 seed Louisville by a score of 19-2.
Needing to win not once, but twice on Sunday, the Bruins fought hard defeating UAB 4-1 in the first game.
The second game proved to be the toughest game so far. UAB put up a run in the bottom of the first to take the lead, but the Bruins tied it by scoring in the top of the 2nd when Brittney Rodriguez scored on Gracie Goulder's single to left.
From there out both teams remained scoreless and the game moved into extra innings after the 7th.
It remained tied until the top of the 11th when CF Allexis Bennett scored on Mysha Sataraka's sacrifice fly to center making it 2-1 Bruins.
But, UAB came back with a sacrifice fly of their own to tie the game 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th and send the game into the 12th inning.
The Bruins escaped again in the bottom of the 12th inning when a walk, fielder's choice and a wild pitch put the winning run on third. But a missed squeeze play hung the runner out to dry for the second out of the inning. A flyout to center sent the game to the 13th.
In the bottom of the 13th, UAB ended the stalemate with a triple by CF Whitney Fletcher which scored Heather Peason to win the game 3-2.
In the end, 18 runners left on base is what killed the Bruins. When you load the bases and can't get the runs across, it becomes very tough to win.

Bond Market Development in Asia: An Empirical Analysis of Major Determinants
AbstractOne of the reasons behind the financial crisis in 1997 was the excessive dependence of Asian economies on commercial banks for domestic financing. Banks were the major source of corporate financing because bond markets were underdeveloped and small. To enhance corporate bond financing, it is important to examine the factors that promote effective development of bond markets. This study attempts to identity the determinants of bond market development in Asian economies, through examining its relationship with selected key financial and economic factors, and to provide policy recommendations for further development.

When Diego Chaves went down after a hard tackle in the first half, the camera got a nice close up of Chaves' face. The Seattle Sounders commentator said, "Chaves looks like he is in a lot of pain. He also looks a bit like Huey Lewis as well."
My first thought was that the guy was completely off. Diego and Huey look nothing alike. But the thought stuck with me through the weekend, and so I wanted to do a caparison.
Here's Huey Lewis:
And here's Diego:
I think Sounders commentator might have been on to something.

Do your veins roll, or just hide when a lab technician needs to draw blood? That may not be a problem anymore thanks to new technology.
It's called the Vein-Viewier, made by Luminetx. It uses infrared technology to light up veins just below the surface of the skin. Not only does it make it easier to find the vein for an IV or a blood test, but researchers believe it may also have a future as a bio-identification tool
Luminetx has just received a patent to provide this technology for the purpose of identification. That's because the vein network is unique to each person, making a vein ID system a more secure way to someday document people.

A Nova Scotia father was floored when he found a client list in his daughter's belongings that showed she had put down her university books to become a stripper and prostitute.
"I was sick, I almost threw up," the father recalled in a recent interview.
In 2010, the girl travelled from Nova Scotia to Moncton and eventually on to Toronto to ply her trade. At the time she was recruited, she was a Nova Scotia university student in her early 20s.
The father also came across business cards for the Moncton taxi company that would transport his daughter from the strip bars she worked in to local hotels to service her private clients.
"They (the pimps) set them up in a hotel and then they get stripping," the father said. "When she (my daughter) gets stripping, … she takes the money and she puts it in Western Union or in a bank account for him and she has nothing."
This father even has proof.
Other documents he uncovered include Western Union money transfers between his daughter and her pimp and the pimp's sister in Nova Scotia. In two separate transactions she sent them over $900 of her earnings.
"They (relatives) go pick up the money for him," the man said. "Family members go pick up the money when they drop it in Western Union. This is a big thing. … These guys got this down as a system."
This money, the father claims, is often used to buy nice cars and homes for the pimps and their families.
SEE ALSO: Police: Pimping ring has lost power in Halifax
Still distraught over the turn his daughter has taken in life, the father asked The Chronicle Herald not to publish either of their names or community for fear of retribution from the interprovincial ring of violent pimps who call themselves North Preston's Finest. The father believes his daughter's pimp belongs to this predatory group.
Until now, the father has remained silent.
But recent charges against two 18-year-old North Preston men for allegedly confining and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in a human trafficking case spurred him to come forward and speak about how one pimp, originally from Nova Scotia, used his charm to rope this man's daughter into this dangerous trade.
Many of these pimps get the girls licensed as exotic dancers in Ontario bars to deflect attention from their side jobs as prostitutes, the father said. In fact, early on, his daughter paid a $361 fee to get licensed as a burlesque entertainer in Ontario.
In Toronto, the city's municipal licensing and standards division licenses burlesque entertainers and requires them to go through a criminal background check with the Canadian Police Information Centre.
On her application, the girl listed a babysitting job as a reason for wanting a criminal background check.
Adult entertainers in Nova Scotia do not require a permit. But licensed establishments that offer exotic entertainment must adhere to the Liquor Licensing Regulations.
And, adult entertainment is legal here. But physical contact between the dancers and customers is not allowed.
The pimp who recruited this young university student did so under the guise of calling himself her boyfriend. He was going to provide her with all the finer things in life.
"That's what they do, they befriend you," the father said. "They're not stupid. What they do is they take girls that don't have any records or anything. … It's all a big plan.
"He took her to Toronto, showed her the ropes, got her in the club," he said. "When they get in the club that's all legit."
The pimps, the father said, are so smart that many of them also have legitimate jobs.
"All these guys driving these dump trucks and that, not all of them, but some of them, … they get legit jobs just to throw everybody off, in construction or whatever."
The father can't even say the word prostitution when his mind takes him to that seedy part of his daughter's life. He simply can't bear the thought of his attractive young offspring — who once had goals and dreams — selling her body for cash.
"I already asked my daughter if she's doing drugs. She said no. She's smart enough to know that we didn't bring her up that way."
In fact, this girl was raised in the church and her parents both work as professionals.
"It just rips my heart out. I've been thinking about it and praying about it. Something has to be stirred up for someone to look into these boys. Now, here my daughter is out there — she's a statistic."
Several sources say these pimps are recruiting Nova Scotia girls from local schools, universities, nightclubs, foster and group homes, and then exploiting them through prostitution in exotic dance clubs and escort services.
"They've got girls recruiting people for them," the father said. "This is a big system."
The man claims that the pimps and their assistants even go so far as to host recruiting parties in Nova Scotia.
"These guys, they come down home, they rent a facility and they have their own birthday dances, but when they have their birthday parties those are all recruiting parties."
One thing the father has noticed is a change in his daughter's attitude toward him and her mother the last time she visited Nova Scotia more than a year ago. The respect she once showed them was gone. And, she no longer comes home for Christmas or other holidays as she routinely did in the past.
"I heard she's not allowed," he said. "My daughter is up there right now, she's got nothing. All of her stuff is in storage."
The RCMP national website says that traffickers often control and retain victims in exploitative situations by using social isolation, forcible confinement, threats and violence, withholding identification documents, imposing strict rules, and limiting their movement.
The Nova Scotia father once took all of his daughter's prostitution-related documents to local police, but was told there was nothing they can do unless she wants to leave this lifestyle on her own and her pimp won't let her.
An RCMP report, Human Trafficking in Canada: A Threat Assessment, found that human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation has been mostly associated with organized prostitution occurring discreetly behind fronts, like escort agencies, strip clubs, residential brothels and massage parlours.
"Such establishments are extremely difficult to detect without proactive investigations," the report's executive summary said.
Some convicted offenders of domestic human trafficking, the 2010 report said, were found to be affiliated with street gangs known to law enforcement for their pimping culture.
"It is unknown if human trafficking is an organized gang activity or motivated independently by financial gain. Domestic human trafficking victims have mostly been recruited through the Internet or by an acquaintance. The victims were groomed, manipulated, and coerced to enter the sex trade," the report said.
The majority of the victims of domestic human trafficking in Canada between 2005 and 2009 were Canadian females between 14 and 25 years of age, found another 2010 RCMP report, Project Seclusion — Human Trafficking in Canada.
The report noted that most of the victims were recruited from the Peel Region of Ontario, but had moved there from Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Quebec and elsewhere in Ontario.
According to the RCMP, as of December 2013, 97 people in Canada were convicted of offences in human trafficking cases.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ Authorities in Sioux Falls say a bust netted nearly 9 pounds of methamphetamine and more than $94,000 in cash.
Police Chief Doug Barthel says it's the largest meth seizure in the city's history. Authorities were tipped off by employees at a hotel where a woman had apparently forgotten about a large amount of cash that had been left under a mattress in one of the rooms.
About $87,000 was found in the room. The rest was found during searches of the woman's vehicle and home.
The 42-year-old woman was arrested, along with two Sioux Falls men, ages 19 and 42.

ON BASEBALL; Rizzuto's Secret of Youth Lasted for Years
By MURRAY CHASS
Published: August 19, 2007
The obituaries said Phil Rizzuto was 89 when he died last week. That's because the baseball encyclopedias said that Rizzuto was 89. And the encyclopedias said Rizzuto was 89 because that's what Rizzuto said. That is, they listed his birth date as Sept. 25, 1917, because that's when Rizzuto reported he was born.
But that wasn't necessarily so. Or was it?
Sorry, Scooter, but I have to do it. I have kept your secret to myself for nearly 30 years, but now that you have sadly left us, I don't think you would mind if I told the tale from the Yankees' spring training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in the late 1970s.
Rizzuto was then a Yankees broadcaster, but he was also a bunting instructor in spring training. One day, he stood at the net as players bunted in the batting cage under the stands along the right-field line at Fort Lauderdale Stadium. Scooter knew better, but he absent-mindedly held on to the net behind home plate, putting his hand through an opening between the cords.
A foul ball came off the bat and smashed Rizzuto's finger. It hurt. It was bloody. It was a mess. Rizzuto was told to go to a nearby hospital and have the finger treated there. But he couldn't drive with his finger in that condition, so I offered to take him.
When we arrived at the hospital, the nurse at the outpatient desk asked Rizzuto for the usual information. Date of birth was one of her questions.
''Sept. 25, 1916,'' Rizzuto replied without hesitation. With ''16'' hardly out of his mouth, he turned to me and said sternly, ''Don't you tell anybody.''
And I didn't, not then, not ever. Until now. But what could have been more Scooterlike than continuing to make himself a year younger decades after he retired? On the other hand, the department of health said Rizzuto's birth certificate listed his year of birth as 1917, but leave it to Scooter to disagree with the officials.
Then there is the Pee Wee Reese connection. Because Rizzuto was the Yankees' shortstop and Reese the Brooklyn Dodgers' shortstop, they were always linked and compared. From the time Reese was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984, Rizzuto fans said he, too, should be in the Hall of Fame. They said it for 10 years until Rizzuto was inducted in 1994.
But now, as in life, Reese and Rizzuto are linked in death. Reese died Aug. 14, 1999. Some news reports said Rizzuto died last Monday night; others said Tuesday. The New Jersey nursing home where Rizzuto died declined to say what time he died, but the Yankees and his sister said they believed the time of death was 11 p.m., about an hour away from Aug. 14.
The Cardinals' Way
The St. Louis Cardinals apparently didn't gain enough satisfaction from winning the World Series last year despite finishing the regular season with the worst record (83-78) among the eight playoff teams.
The Cardinals held first place in the National League Central every day from June 9 and had a winning record from April 15. They were never in sixth place and spent only seven days (all in the first two weeks of the season) below third.
This season, they have not been in first place alone on any day and were tied for first for only three days in April. They spent 50 of the season's first 60 days below third place. They have not had a winning record since they were 6-5 on April 15. They entered July a season-high 10 1/2 games out of first.
Yet they began this weekend's series with the Cubs only two and a half games behind first-place Milwaukee. The Cubs were a half-game behind the Brewers, who had led the division, except for two days, since April 21.
The Cardinals' recent surge, 8 victories in 10 games, has come since Manager Tony La Russa altered his lineup, moving the pitcher out of the customary ninth slot and into the No. 8 spot. The new lineup, though, does not appear to be the impetus for the surge.
In 13 games before yesterday, the pitchers batting eighth hit .200 (6 for 30), drove in four runs and scored five. The ninth hitters -- infielders Adam Kennedy, Aaron Miles and the rookie Brendan Ryan -- batted .256 (11 for 43), drove in six runs and scored six.
Personal Best for Drew
J. D. Drew, who gave up three years and $33 million remaining on his Los Angeles Dodgers contract to sign with the Red Sox for five years and $70 million, is zeroing in on personal history. Later this week, barring injury, which he has sustained frequently, Drew will achieve playing status that for him is unprecedented.
For the first time in his nine-year career, Drew, a 31-year-old outfielder, is in position to play at least 110 games in each of two successive seasons. He had played in 104 of Boston's 122 games entering last night's game against the Angels.
A Phillie Perseveres
Chris Coste was right. In a spring training assessment of his rookie season last year, Coste said the Phillies' failure to reach the playoffs cost him.
''If I was the playoff catcher or the World Series catcher, well, then I may be the No. 1 catcher right now,'' he said. ''But us not making the playoffs changed all that. I went from being a main catcher to being No. 3 without playing a game.''

Tight end Fred Davis has re-signed with the Washington Redskins.
The team announced the deal Friday.
A person familiar with the agreement says Davis received a one-year contract after exploring options with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce terms of the deal.
Davis might have been one of the most coveted tight ends on the free agent market if he were healthy, but he's recovering from a torn left Achilles suffered in a loss to the New York Giants in October.
He had 24 catches for 325 yards in seven games last year. The 2008 second-round pick has 155 receptions for 1,973 yards and 12 touchdowns in five Redskins seasons.

Some Mid-State food banks are facing critical food shortages just as the number of people looking for help is growing. The emergency food bank at the Martha O'Bryan Center in east Nashville has experienced a 60% uptick in need over the last couple of days. "We had a delivery truck in on Friday. It was gone in a couple of hours and Monday the same thing happened," said Marsha Edwards, CEO of the Martha O'Bryan Center.The Martha O'Bryan Center relies on Second Harvest of Middle Tennessee to keep its shelves stocked all year but especially during the cold winter months when demand is great. President and CEO Jaynee Day told Nashville's News 2 because there have been cutbacks from the federal government, the organization is depending more and more on community support."In November when the food stamp cuts or better known as SNAP cuts went into effect, we've started seeing our numbers increase. The demand is starting to go up and we're feeling the impact of those cuts," said Day.The Martha O'Bryan Center doesn't want to turn people away but may have to just days before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Anyone who would like to help can do so by making a donation to the Martha O'Bryan Center or to Second Harvest of Middle Tennessee.

More foreign galleries line up, attracted by the booming art market
The show keeps getting bigger and bigger. Two years ago the India Art Summit in Delhi got 40,000 footfalls, last year the number jumped to 1.28 lakh – and art was said to have reached the middle class.
Now, in its fourth edition and sporting a new name - the India Art Fair - and at a new venue, the country's biggest art event is hoping to go even more mass.
If Wednesday's super-crowded preview at the tastefully done up 12,000-sq-m venue at the NSIC exhibition grounds was anything to go by, then festival director Neha Kirpal's optimistic projections will hold.
On Thursday afternoon, too, once the Republic Day movement restrictions were off, a large crowd could be seen entering the fair grounds. Encouragingly, many were buying entry tickets - and not coming in through the free-pass route.
Not surprisingly, gallery managers like Lloyd Tan of Indigo Blue Art from Singapore looked pleased as punch. "We had sold out our works last year," said Tan, gleefully, as he took you around his exhibits - a mix of Indian masters like Jamini Roy and G.R. Santosh - as well as some eye-catching cat sculptures which are part of a brand new series called The Babu, the Nayika and the Cat, inspired by Kalighat paintings. This year, there has been a rise in the number of foreign galleries displaying, all clearly eager to capture a slice of the booming Indian art market. Compared to last year - when of the 84 galleries showing, 34 were international - this year, out of the 91 galleries showing, only 48 are Indian.
Big galleries like UK's Hauser & Wirth and White Cube are participating this year, and art dealers from Zurich and London could be seen at the venue.
While many of the established European galleries (from the UK, Spain, Greece, Germany) could be seen exhibiting paintings by renowned artists like Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Picasso and Hanneke Beaumont with eye-popping prices listed, there were younger galleries from countries like Argentina exhibiting more affordable contemporary works by younger talents. Australian gallery Karen Woodbury from Melbourne displaying the works of Sam Jinks drew a huge crowd as his silicone and silk rendition of a woman with child was so eerily lifelike that it beat any Madame Tussaud wax representation.
The rise in new media displays also showed where art is headed - with video, sound and digital media installations stealing much of the show.

News: Nick Cannon On The Rap Industry, "It's Definitely Going To A Better Place"
Monday, Jan 4, 2010 3:30PM
Rapper/Actor Nick Cannon has shared his thoughts on the ever-changing condition of the music industry and explained why the rap game, despite low record sales, is moving in a better direction.
Cannon also discussed a few emcees who are catching his attention.
"I like underground rappers -- Cory Gunz is a young kid that's been really doing his thing," Cannon said in an interview. "I'm a Gym Class Heroes type of fan, even though they're not new, but they're definitely trendsetters. The new group, LMFAO -- they do some new electro-hip-hop new sounding stuff...I think it's definitely going to a better place. We've been through our ups and downs, but -people understand that hip-hop is here to stay. What I love about it, and what I feel like it's always maintained and worked through, is being able to have different types of hip-hop, just like different types of rock. I mean, you got your hardcore hip-hop, you got your hipster hip-hop -- it's such a grand culture at this point where it's not just all about the music. So I believe it's in a great place and I believe it's gonna continue to thrive." (Ask Men)
Producer Timbaland recently spoke on moving away from hip-hop.
"I was done with hip-hop a long time ago," he said in an interview. "Once my generation left, I left. I do it, but there's nobody from my generation besides Jay-Z who's doing it. I look at Lil Wayne as being from my generation. Some people are still acceptable. Kanye [West] is acceptable from my generation. It's just not the same. By it not being the same, I kind of fade to black. I did music that fits where I was going to in my age bracket. 'What does Tim listen to in his car all the time?' I love '80s music. So how do I infuse '80s with modern-day music? You Timbo the King, you gotta figure it out. I figured it out a couple of years ago with Nelly [Furtado] and Justin [Timberlake] and myself. We had a tremendous run. I think it was good for me to do it that, because some people would say 'Tim is cold.' The same people who smile in my face would be the same ones to talk behind my back. But I got this run, I'm not gonna stop until I wanna stop." (MTV)
Hitmaker Scott Storch also compared today's rap game to the past.
"I love hip-hop," Storch responded when asked about Tim's decision. "I love all music. In terms of its place in the market. Its not, you know, technically as strong and other [forms] of music. I shouldn't even say that. It's not as strong as it was at one point, dominating like everything. I still there there's gems and plenty of ill hip-hop records to make. Living proof is Jay-Z." (All Hip Hop)
Rappers like Lil Wayne and Eminem have placed age limits for themselves.
"We just haven't found anything that's been the right thing at the right time," Em explained in an interview. "I have to be finished with this album and then I'll probably want to jump into something like that. I don't know if there's a movie where I'll want to be in every single scene again, but something, yeah...It was, 'I don't want to be a rapper when I'm 40,' and the next time we talk it will be, "I don't want to be a rapper when I'm 50." Sixty is the cut-off. I can't be no 60-year-old rapper, son!" (Complex)

Here's a project for Arduino fans with an old iPhone sitting in their junk drawer. Following these instructions from Will O'Brien, you can craft a remote start system that's triggered by SMS. The setup requires an Avatal 3117 remote start, an iPhone breakout board, an Arduino, a switching supply cell charger and a handful of transistors, resistors and diodes.
The system is controlled by the iPhone which talks to the Arduino controller. The iPhone can receive an SMS message that tells the car to start. A perl script running on the iPhone will then send the command to the Arduino. When it receives the start command, the Arduino will ground the wire to the remote start and fire up the car.
O'Brien has a working prototype and posted both the source code and the schematic for the design on his website. He's considering putting it together and selling it as a neat and tidy kit for those who want to try this hack without heating up the soldering iron.

Hey, can you stop pitching Quality Starts from now on? It is really annoying that you pitch with great stuff and bad command that nobody can hit you but can walk because the opposition cannot hit you. You should be like Jon Garland, and give up hits every inning and then everyone will like you and claim you're an ace despite a career 4.41 ERA, and a 4.71 FIP.
Moral of the story. Chad Billingsley should be just like Jon Garland.
P.S. The offense needs to stop being bad.

Albany- Haylee Gerbert is dusting off one of six television screens at Boxer's. The bar is hosting their first annual Superbowl Party, and they expecting large crowds.
Gerbert says, "I love a good party. We expect a lot of people, and I don't mind cleaning up to make sure everything is ready."
It's Superbowl night, and managers at Applebee's say alcohol sales will skyrocket.
Applebee's manager, Derrick Wooten, says not only will alcohol sales increase, but they had to bring in more workers just to handle food orders and to go orders.
Wooten adds, "This is one of our biggest nights. People are happy because they can come in and drink and watch the game at the same time."
While area restaurants and bars will be packed , many say even though they aren't big football fans, on Superbowl Sunday, even they have love for the game.

Games built around a toy, movie or any other product license are a notoriously hit and miss affair, particularly on major consoles or the PC. But the phenomenon is equally applicable to mobile gaming these days, as phones are becoming more commonly used as promotional tools for the entertainment industry, hence the recent influx of games based on Marvel comic book heroes. Another popular license is Star Wars, however its most recent tie-in, Angry Birds Star Wars, is excellent, proving the games don't always have to be shameless cash-ins.
This brings us to Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, a game of a license of a license, which should send us running for the hills. Except Lego Star Wars games have almost always been a huge amount of fun. The two-player campaigns in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the PlayStation 3 are superbly crafted, and the series was improved on again in Lego Star Wars III: Clone Wars. The Yoda Chronicles was released for Android last week, but Sony has grabbed a short period of exclusivity, and it's currently only supposed to be available for its Xperia phones. Come 15 June and it'll receive a wide release inside Google Play.
Sony has been pushing what it calls, "VIP Access," to the game very hard, with posts appearing on all its social networking pages linking to its Xperia Lounge app, from which the game can be downloaded. So, is The Yoda Chronicles worth the double download?
Let's make something very clear, it's nowhere near as good as the console titles, and is much more about promoting the upcoming Cartoon Network show of the same name, and selling this year's Lego Star Wars toys. Instead of the explore/build/fight-em-up action of other Lego games, Yoda Chronicles is a bland attempt at a real-time strategy game, wrapped up in a vague story about a super weapon being prepared by the Sith.
You can choose to play as the Jedi or as a Sith, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, as the missions are all basically the same, as are the surroundings. Here's an example of a level in The Yoda Chronicles: you play Mace Windu with three Clone Troopers under his command, tasked with defeating General Grievous. You must walk from point A to point B, and along the way find a droid to open a door, all the while blasting the Battle Droids and Droidekas blocking your way.
Sounds fun, right? It's not. You move through the level simply by tapping the screen to indicate where you want to go, then double tapping an enemy to blast them. But as firing weapons is automatic, even if you don't target your foe, the team shoots them anyway. Wandering around soon finds R2-D2 in a corner, who then dutifully follows you to the door, unlocks it and lets you have a go at Grievous. Taking him down is a case of retreating away as he advances, staying out of the way of his lightsabers, and shooting him until he's done. Exciting it wasn't.
In other Lego games it's common to find stuff to build, or new characters to unlock. Here, there are base stations scattered around where you can "build" new equipment, grab new Clone Troopers, or refill your energy bars. Except you don't build anything, you just exchange the Lego studs you collect after something dies for a new vehicle or trooper. Each level has a main objective to complete along with two lesser objectives, such as reaching a point in a set time or finding a hidden character. Hitting the main objective is tedious enough, and there's absolutely no incentive to doing the level again to meet the other targets.
The trouble with The Yoda Chronicles is it's much too slow and boring. The stages are all very similar, moving through them is painfully slow, and the combat isn't involving enough. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, the settings and vehicles don't make sense either, as Umbaran MHC tanks show up on Coruscant, and Pre Vizsla's fighter is hanging around on Tatooine. Why? Because they're part of Lego's current toy line-up. Yes, it's understandable, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.
Perhaps the only positive is the cut scenes, which although short, are very well produced and up to Lego's usual high standards. It played acceptably enough on our Xperia T, and the audio was excellent. But even as a free download it's tough to recommend playing The Yoda Chronicles, and we'd imagine younger players will swiftly become bored by the lack of action. Sadly, then, The Yoda Chronicles has the dubious honour of being one of the few missteps in the Lego Star Wars gaming universe.

Whether you like gadgets or want to use the basics, we'll show you how to trim pubic hair. Get groomed without shaving yourself bare and avoid the side effects that the razor can bring.
1. Comb and Scissors
Simple, easy and cheap. Learn how to use scissors and a comb to trim hair down, without any cuts or nicks.
2. Regular Hair Clippers
If you have regular hair clippers around the house, they can do the job for trimming, but not shaving hair down totally. Read how to use the attachments and why not to invest in one for trimming pubic hair alone.
3. Schick Trim Style for Women
Want to shave your bikini line and trim the rest? You can right while you shower. One side is Schick's four blade razor with conditioning strips, the other side a waterproof battery-operated trimmer that adjusts to three different lengths. Perfect for the bikini area, the trimmer is very narrow for easy guiding. Although Schick Quattro Trim Style (read review) doesn't have the most powerful blades, it does the job at an affordable price.
4. Men's Body Groomers
Especially made for total body grooming, including down below. These wet/dry shavers allow you trim while controlling the length, or shave hair totally down with special blades. They're also great for removing hair on the genitals- because you don't want to take a regular manual razor there. Ouch!
5. Bliss Philips Bikini Perfect
A girl has got to have options. Some days you want to trim, other times shave, and every now and then, pull it out from the root. Sometimes, maybe a combination of all in your bikini zone. This cordless, rechargeable grooming system does it all with six attachments in or out of the shower. Trimmer, epilator, micro shaver and micro trimmer attachments allow you to shave, trim or pull the hair totally out. Our full review shares why it got 4.5 stars from us (read review).
6. Venus Bikini Razor Kit
This three piece kit includes a trimmer that you simply swipe over the hair, no batteries required. Get the trimmer with the Venus Embrace Razor and Olay Bikini Lotion for under $10, or purchase it alone (read review).
7. Hair eRazor Pubic Shaver & Trimmer
This is a small, cordless titanium rotary style shaver with a built-in trimmer that comes up with a push of a button. It's especially made for the coarse hair of the bikini area and worked great for my assistant Nicole, leaving her without redness, bumps or irritation.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) - A judge has dismissed a lawsuit over a permit that was issued allowing a Middle Tennessee mosque to build a cemetery on its property.
A group of residents filed the suit after Rutherford County officials approved the request from the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
The Daily News Journal reports senior Judge Paul Summers, who sat on the case after local judges recused themselves, issued his opinion on Thursday. He ruled that the Board of Zoning Appeals properly approved the permit.
ICM attorney John Green said he was pleased with the ruling.
A lead plaintiff in the case, Bonnie Golczynski, and her attorney, Duncan Cates Cave, declined to say whether they would appeal. The plaintiffs had cited concerns about possible water contamination and traffic problems in their lawsuit.

Richt thought Moore would be graduated by Sept. 3rd
This is pretty funny: Richt said he got one more piece of information that helped him make the decision to play[Boise State]. "Our athletic director, Greg McGarity, had told me that Boise State was a possible opponent and said that Kellen Moore was going to be gone. He was a senior. He was leaving. And so I believed him," Richt said, laughing. "We set the game up, and afterward, I looked at the depth chart and realized he had another year to go. I was hoping he was going to turn pro. He didn't."

Math 131 (formerly known as Math 134AB)
Math 131 is an intermediate algebra course conducted in R404 and R408. Half of the class time is spent in a typical lecture class (R404) and the other half is spent in the Math Resource Center computer lab (R408). If you enjoy working on computers, and prefer extra attention, this may be the class for you.
The Math Resource Center also offers an accelerated math course called 134AB AIA which combines elementary algebra (Math 128AB) with intermediate algebra (Math 131). This modular class covers twice the material as our traditional classes.

Making Dreams Into Plans
Can you believe we are already just a little over 100 days into 2012?
The year seems to be off to a really busy start and it's really flying by! It's times like these when I have to pull the reins back and really focus hard on what I'm doing and where I'm going. In January, I wrote this post about living and doing things in my life intentionally. Now is a good of time as ever to take a pause and see how I'm doing with those goals and making sure what I'm doing daily is done with intention.
Speaking of intention, I don't think I have a more favorite quote right now than this one:
This quote above really sums up how I feel about being intentional with my time and focus in my business. If I don't act upon my plans, I'll be stuck sitting here dreaming wistfully away and going nowhere. I love this line my friend Lara Casey shared last week…I want to shout it from the rooftops…"you know all those things you've always wanted to do, you should go do them!"
We are just about one week out from when the Early Bird rate expires for AH Inspired: Tampa. In today's video I share a special little bonus that is going to be given to each attendee who registers by the early bird rate (through April 24). The gals who have registered so far are getting so excited (us too!!). I hope you will consider joining us as well…maybe this will be the first step for you in making some of those dreams into plans.
AMBER HOUSLEY Inspired: Tampa Special Bonus from Amber Housley on Vimeo.
Tonight I meet up with some of the amazing women I met here in Nashville in March for a little get together. I can't wait to hear first-hand all the things they have accomplished so far in just six weeks. I don't think there is a better way to start my week than this…
AMBER HOUSLEY Inspired Nashville – Recap from Amber Housley on Vimeo.
wow, amber! that's incredible. thank you!!
My mom and I will both be attending next month, and just got even more excited after watching your videos!! We can't wait to meet you and have this incredible experience with some new amazing and inspiring women! Thank you!!
Amber, I really love these video blogs! You are so great at them. Keep up the good work!!
You did great on the video! :) I am so excited for the next group of Inspired women and I can't wait to see how their businesses change as well! :)
Looks like so much fun! I agree, that is a great quote!
Your friend in Kentucky,
I'm just so proud of you, I can't get over it! Way to make your dreams HAPPEN, A! So encouraged by all you are doing and sharing!
