WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- A Delaware teenager has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for fatally shooting a woman who was the victim of a home invasion.
Daiquan Reams, an 18-year-old Wilmington man, told a judge at his sentencing Friday that he shot Tamekia Kearney in May 2012 because "I just wanted to fit in."
The News Journal of Wilmington reports (http://delonline.us/1bGoQvI ) that prosecutors struggled to get witnesses to cooperate and agreed as part of a plea deal to recommend no more than 15 years for Reams.
Reams was 17 at the time of the shooting. He told investigators that he killed the 28-year-old Kearney, a mother, to help a friend who had been involved in the home invasion.
Kearney had been cooperating with the police at the time of the crime.

Sports Fan Insider
HOUSTON (AP) — Seattle outfielder Michael Morse has been traded to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for outfielder Xavier Avery.
Baltimore claimed Morse off waivers earlier this week before completing the deal Friday.
Morse, 31, hit .226 with 13 homers and 27 RBIs in 76 games for Seattle. He missed 31 games early this season with a broken finger on his right hand. Morse spent the previous four seasons with the Nationals where he hit 31 homers with 95 RBIs — both career-highs — in 2011.
Avery has spent time at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk this season. The left-hander hit a combined .259 with 70 runs scored and is 29 for 37 on stolen base attempts. He hit .223 with six steals in 32 games for the Orioles last season.

|Capri Otties
His stable of Kenyans remains strong and always replenished.
His track record with top Americans?
Looks like ineptitude.....
Wat say you, sir?
|Dead weight
Cap should have been booted years ago.
He is a left over from the Miller debacle. Program has lost its personality , its just a numbers game now.
Athletes will always come and go , no one single running athlete makes or breaks a company. You don't have to be very creative when you have a big bucks budget to spend.
|Balance the books
Nike is on no mood to spend money since 2014 is a bye year with no olys nor outdoor worlds.
|Leave Cap alone
Nike does a great job of sponsoring athletes in a sport where others should dominate.
Athletes are simply marketing tools and no one does a better job of marketing than Nike.
Running Specialty sales
Brooks 35%
Asics 17%
Saucony 9%
Nike 8%
So Nike is a long way from being the big guy when it comes to sales in this channel yet they sponsor the most amount of Track athletes. Why? Because they are taking money from other channels to pay for Track and Field.
What other company is taking profits from someplace other than what they are making on our sport to sponsor athletes?
Thank You Nike
|Track Town, USA
Meb, Leo and Nick are not native Oregonians so who gives a fack?
I think you made one good (maybe) point and one bad point.
Your good point....Nike is being generous in comparison to others based on sponsoring a sport where they don't sell a lot of stuff. (not sure that's actually true directly about track/racing gear).
And you just said nobody does a better job at marketing....which based on what you're saying is completely false. So they are sponsoring more big name people and outspending others, but getting crushed in sales. What exactly do you think marketing is?
|Leave Cap alone
But Nike stock is up because of image. Most people (yourself included) have a tough time believing those numbers. Stockholders agree with you.
Now that i think about it, your whole post is incredibly dumb. Your post about sales is inaccurate since it's not related, and is not about PROFITS. And your post makes it seem like their marketing is bad, rather than good. It's similar to the smart phone model. Apple makes almost all of the profits, Samsung makes the rest, and nobody else makes any even though they sell a lot of crap.
Get a clue. You're not doing Nike a service with your stupidity.
|Gym Class Shuffle
|That's not all
Don't forget Maurice Green, Bob Kennedy, Lauren Fleshman, and ....
|i hate you.
Hey Randy.
How does this look like ineptitude? How do you know that those cut American runners weren't asking for too much money? Is Nike supposed to give every runner a million dollar contract with no strings attached?
It automatically does it when you quote someone else who did it unless you delete it (like i just did). Not sure why the first guy was writing in bold.
Nike's only into supporting certain "all-American" types and somehow even Symmonds didn't fit into that category. It doesn't really matter for the company's finances, but what message does it send to the running community when you don't want to touch (most) Americans who actually win medals?

SILVERCHAIR frontman Daniel Johns has gotten engaged to Australian singer/actress Natalie Imbruglia. A wedding date has yet to be set.The couple have issued the following statement through SILVERCHAIR's Australian record label, Virgin: "In response to recent media speculation, Natalie Imbruglia and Daniel Johns have confirmed that they are indeed engaged. The couple made the decision shortly before Christmas and they are both extremely happy, as are their family and friends. "Daniel and Natalie have spent the holiday season together at home in Australia relaxing and celebrating. They have no immediate plans to marry. "Neither they, nor their representatives, will be making any further comment about this personal and private matter." Talk of the engagement started after Daniel was seen shopping for a ring last week in a Newcastle jewelry store.

Someone should stop a tumblr.
Thanks for following someoneshouldstarta.tumblr.com. I think this joke has run its course, so I won't be updating it anymore. I certainly never expected 1,145 people to follow me here. Thanks.
I do have some ongoing projects outside of Tumblr you may enjoy:
- More of my silly ideas are at ironicsans.com
- I produce a PBS web series called INVENTORS about other people with ideas both silly and world-changing.
- My photography can be found at davidfriedmanphoto.com.

The airplane was damaged when it nosed over during the landing rollout. The pilot reported that the accident occurred on his second landing attempt. The pilot stated that on the first approach there was "turbulence and wind variability" and he performed a go-around after not being "satisfied" with his runway alignment while on final approach. The pilot reported that the second approach was uneventful until about 3-5 feet above the ground when a "wind gust pushed the [airplane] left of the [runway] centerline." The pilot stated that he realigned the airplane with the runway centerline and an uneventful three-point touchdown was performed. The pilot reported that "shortly after touchdown" the airplane encountered another wind gust and the airplane weathervaned into the wind, despite "full left rudder and right aileron." The pilot reported the left wing impacted the ground, followed by the airplane nosing over. The winds at the time of the accident were from the south at 7 knots, gusting to 15 knots.

As he was leaving the floor after his team's loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, Grant Hill claims that a fan spit and cursed at him.
"He said some profanity and spit in my direction," Hill told the Arizona Republic. "I'm not going to let somebody spit at me. He knew he did wrong because he took off running."
Hill was held back by United Center security, who the newspaper claims also caught the fan.
"I just saw the anger in his face," Hill's teammate Vince Carter told the newspaper. "When you see Grant like that, you know something's up. Grant doesn't say anything to anybody. He competes and does his job."

Mike Hawkins – Soldiers (Music Video) : Huge Electro House Anthem Released With Intense Video [SPINNIN]Posted in Bangin, Video by nick | Tags: DOORN, DOORN Records, Electro, Electro House, Festival Trap, Mike Hawkins, Soldiers, Spinnin Records, Trap, Video
We first got introduced to Mike Hawkins on his collaborative track "Hot Steppa" alongside Henry Fong and Toby Green that premiered late last year. The Denmark based producer is back with "Soldiers", a rather massive solo release through DOORN / Spinnin Records. The song packs an infectious melody right out of the gate with some suspenseful builds leading to an epic percussion filled drop with a unique Middle Eastern twist. The song is brought to life in this official music video showing the progression of kids playing with Nerf guns to paintball guns to soldiers at war shooting real guns. You can pick up your copy of the song now available through Beatport. Enjoy!

My story has changed quite a lot since moving to Boulder, Colorado and starting Thissongissick back in 2010. My name is Nick Guarino and this is Thissongissick.com.

Producers also might consider leaving the dairy business altogether.
"Under extreme situations, selling the herd may ultimately be the best option to avoid substantial loss of equity in the farm," Schutz said. "However, this decision needs to be made with the help of consultants, along with a thorough evaluation of the entire situation, to ensure that all options have been explored and discussed."
Nennich and Schutz have written a series of papers on issues related to drought and dairy production. "Drought Strategies for Dairy Cattle," "Feeding Dairy Cattle During Drought Conditions," "Determining a Value for Corn Silage" and an accompanying corn silage value calculator, "Culling Dairy Cows: An Opportunity for Improvement When Feed Supplies Are Tight" and "Should I Quit Dairying Because of the Drought?" are on the Animal Sciences Drought Information page at https://ag.purdue.edu/ansc/Pages/Drought.aspx . Additional information about the drought is available at the Purdue Extension drought website at http://www.purdue.edu/drought
Indiana was home to about 1,550 dairy farms in 2011, employing nearly 8,800 people. Those dairies produced 3.54 billion pounds of milk - or 426 million gallons - worth more than $711 million in direct sales. Counting sales of culled cows and heifers, the state's dairy industry generated $1.45 billion in economic value.

11th most beautiful National Park in the world.
Spectacular views. Exemplary tourist spot. Awesome beaches. Great food. Bilingual natives. Great Getaway. Awesome Adventure Tours. Do it yourself place.
Those phrases pretty much encompass this area but let me elaborate a little.
If you ever study abroad in Costa Rica and get a vacation time off of school, or even just come out to visit, this is a place you definitely have to visit. You cannot just do it in a day, you need at least a weekend to appreciate it all as I am speaking from experience. In the time that I was there, I stayed at an awesome hostel, ate at great food places, visited the National Park, saw the postcard beaches and sites, hiked through a rain forest, ziplined through rain forest, came face to face with monkeys and racoons and saw a lot of nature.
The most you would spend on a weekend trip like this is a minimum of $200. This includes the bus fares, the hostels, the food and the activities.
Bus Fare to Manuel Antonio/San Jose: 3,995 colones each way (about $8)
Local Bus Fare: 250 colones each time you get on (about $0.50)
Hostel: $15-$20 for dorm rooms or $25-$30 for private rooms
*note* highly recommend Hostel Vista Serena. great staff and facility. If it doesn't work, visit hostelworld.com (Thanks Cari Bickel)
Food: anywhere from 3000 to 4500 colones every time you eat (about $6 to $9)
*note* you can spend more if you eat at nice places, but that is a typical amount
National Park Entrance: $10
Adventure Tours (canopy tour, atv, sailing, mountain bike, mangroves, kayak): from $50 to $150
*note* if you stay at a hostel, book your tours through them as they offer cheaper rates especially if you are in a group. For the group I was in of 6, we paid $50 a person for zip-lining.
-get a guide by the park entrance, no guarantee of how good they are and over charge
-purchase crazy things at the stores as you will overpay, by any necessities in the city before going
-freak out when you return to San Jose when you hear/see a bunch of crazy men yelling at you to get in their taxi, just walk to the ones with the triangle on the door
-wait till the last minute to buy tickets to get to Manuel Antonio because tickets go fast
-go on crazy hikes after a rain storm. The trail will be muddy and crazy. But if you like it then go for it, just wear proper attire and be prepared haha
- do not freak out when the monkeys get close. They are not killers, they just want your food and will follow you.

The UK sites (Ribble, Total Cycling, Chain Reaction) are much cheaper than US sites for groups and components. I use Speedplay pedals, and have Mavic wheels, but hate them and would strongly recommend you get handbuilt wheels, which represent much better value and are almost always lighter and more aero than factory made wheels, the exception being Shimano Dura Ace wheels.
Since you have a Cinelli frame, logic and taste would say that you should stick with as much Italian stuff as possible. Consider Campy, TTT or Deda bar/stem and Vittoria tires.
Thanks for the respond. I got fitted, but they didn't offer many bikes for my height (5'0) that I liked, so that is why I'm building my own. I spent 1 grand on the frame, so I don't want to spend more than another grand on the rest. I just recently got into biking when I was in Europe, so this is all brand new to me.
I have strong opinions about things that don't matter.

Sen. Rob Portman has changed his stance on homosexual marriage for the worst reason possible: It affected him personally.
Does this imply that he would become pro-choice if his daughter needed an abortion?
Would he be against the Second Amendment's gun ownership if a friend was shot at work?
Would he want to change immigration laws if his son fell in love with an illegal immigrant?
A person's beliefs shouldn't be swayed when an issue suddenly becomes personal, particularly a politician's, who can enact laws that affect us all.

Texans for Accountable Government (TAG) is a trans-partisan Political Action Committee headquartered in Central Texas. TAG was formed with the ambition of reigning in the intrusive and expanding reach of government which threatens to invade every facet of our lives. Our ambition is to put the reins of government back into the hands of individual American citizens; allowing us to once again run our own lives.
TAG focuses on issues at the local, county, and state level. We believe in the principle of subsidiary; that power should be vested in the nearest locality. Our local representatives are much more accountable to us than are those over a thousand miles away in the District of Columbia.
We are dedicated to safe guarding individual liberty, protecting personal privacy and property rights, election integrity, safe water, and electing representatives, not bureaucrats, to office!
Executive Director
Heather Fazio
Heather Fazio first got involved politically when she began exploring the truth behind the Federal Reserve banking system and so-called War on Terror. She heard about Texans for Accountable Government during the "Stop Vampire Cops" campaign in early 2009 and was compelled to take action locally. Since then, she has assumed a leadership position within TAG first as a Steering Committee member then as Political Coordinator of the 2011 Texas Legislative session and now as Executive Director.
Steering Committee
Justin Arman
Katie Brewer
Ed Heimlich
Travis Snavely
Dana Ambs
Nathan Kleffman
Trey Reginelli
Trey Reginelli is a CPA and holds an accounting degree from the University of Houston. A native Texan, Trey grew up with the yearning for liberty that inspired the American and Texas Revolutions. He joined TAG because he shares its goal of making a free and prosperous Texas where individuals are free to live their lives as they choose.
Chuck Young
Chuck Young founded TAG out of his frustration with reactionary party politics; he felt that field work in the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign had shown that there was a hidden constituency, fed up with the status quo, that was eager for real "Hope and Change". TAG's founding vision was of an enabling, bottom-up meritocracy, not a stifling top-down bureaucracy — one that thought locally and thus acted globally. TAG was to be (and is!) a tribe of whup-ass activists — the keyword being ACTIVE — operating within a network of tribes of all political suasions.
Chuck put his money and his time where his head was; he was TAG's Treasurer, Tech Dude, lead Organizer, point Lobbyist, and Communications Director in its infancy. He's proudest of getting a veto on SB 1440. Nowadays he trades forex and futures, works on software for people sometimes, and keeps telling himself he's gonna finish writing that book someday…

In an important article at AlterNet today, "1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War — And Why We Let Them", John Tirman, the executive director of MIT's Center for International Studies, writes:
"It's very rare to hear anything approximating the likely death toll [of Iraqis who died unnecessarily after the 2003 U.S. invasion] which is well into the hundreds of thousands, possibly more than one million. It's a textbook case of how opinion gatekeepers reinforce each other's caution. Because the number of civilians killed in a U.S. war is so morally fraught, the news media, academics and political leaders tend to gravitate toward the figure (if mentioned at all) that is least disturbing."

Michael W. Smith - His Time to Speak
- Thursday, December 09, 1999
By Bruce Adolph, courtesy of {{Christian Musician}}
Let's get the accolades out of the way up front so we can focus on the artist and record label owner. {{Michael W. Smith}} has garnered 22 Dove Awards, two Grammy Awards, an American Music Award and 23 #1 Christian radio singles. Earlier this year he received six Dove Awards, including Artist of the Year and Producer of the Year, as well as ASCAP's Golden Note Award for lifetime achievement. He has one platinum and six gold albums to his credit. That's pretty remarkable by just about anyone's standards. But what's most impressive is that {{Michael W. Smith}} is still an all-around nice guy. He's a true gentleman with the public and is respected by all who work with him. As his thirteenth album, ==This is Your Time==, recently released, we spent some time talking with Michael about the new project, the state of the industry, and his role at {{Rocketown}}.
CM: You're viewed as a sort of "statesman" in Christian music, because you've been around for quite awhile, and therefore have a unique perspective on the industry. As an artist and label owner, how do you view the Christian music industry right now?
MWS: Well, I guess it depends on what aspect you're talking about. I think we've grown up. We've gotten better at what we do, but we still have a long way to go. There are a lot of great things to say about the industry. I think it's in a pretty healthy spot. Record sales are obviously going to fluctuate, it's going to be hot one minute and down the next minute. Same with touring. You've just got to go with the flow. I'm extremely happy with what's happened with {{Rocketown}}. We're very fortunate.
CM: So what do you see as the industry's strengths?
MWS: I'm really proud of the fact that we've gotten creative. We've gotten creative with the "{{WOW Series}}" projects, and with marketing outside of the CBA market. We've gotten creative and built strong relationships with Target and Kmart and Walmart and other chain stores like that, and they've done an incredible job for us. The key has been getting this music out to people who would otherwise never hear it. That's one of the milestones we can be proud of.
CM: What would you change about this industry if you could?
MWS: What would I change? That's a good question. If I could change anything, I would like to be able to change the fact that there's quite a bit of pride in our industry. I think there's room for good healthy competition, but we need to work together more. We need to work for the cause of what this whole thing's about. It seems like someone's always trying to be on top, and record companies watch the numbers asking, "Did we get the number one radio spot?" I think we could pay less attention to that and focus on the fact that we're all in this thing together. We're in Gospel music for one reason. Let's support each other more. That's what I would change.
CM: Since you're an artist yourself, does {{Rocketown}} give more creative freedom to its artists?
MWS: I think so. {{Rocketown}} is a lot like Reunion was in the early days. Don't get me wrong, Reunion Records is a great place. It's got a big roster, but it's not like it used to be. It used to be a family, and there was a lot of synergy. It was contagious. Sitting around with Brown Bannister, and {{Amy Grant}} and myself and our managers, we would dream big. We'd see those dreams become a reality. We all kind of nurtured each other. I think it was a healthy environment, and that's what we've done with our artists. We're kind of a little family over there. We all hang out in this funky little house and everybody really digs it. That's versus being caught up in the huge corporate thing - which works for a lot of people - but I think this is much healthier. Especially since we gravitate toward singer/songwriters. It's a lot of fun.
CM: When you allowed {{Chris Rice}} to continue summer camps with youth rather than forcing him to tour, I saw that your label had a different heart than most.
MWS: Well, we knew that was best for him. That's what God's called him to do. Why get in the way of that? All the skeptics say, "But what about this opportunity and that opportunity?" You know what? We don't sit around thinking about the numbers all the time.
CM: You're known as a handsome man. Do you think this has been an advantage for you in the Christian market? How important is appearance to you when you consider new artists for {{Rocketown}}?
MWS: To answer the second part of your question, I don't think it matters at all. We've all got to admit that it's really wonderful to find somebody who's got an incredible voice and who looks great. You can't help but think that's got appeal. You've got to think that looks do have something to do with it. I try to downplay that aspect. I don't think I'm the most handsome man. People at the company talk about it a lot and I say, "Guys, if you all want to talk about this, don't do it around me." That's not what I'm about. It's a struggle every time I do a record. They're always searching for a great looking picture of me to put on the front. I want to put my picture on the back and do something different on the front. It's always a battle. I did win half the battle this time because it's not a close-up, like ==Change Your World==, it's actually from much further back and doesn't totally center around me, and I'm glad. It's a totally different feel this time.
CM: You seem to place a high priority on your family life. What kinds of things do you do to protect it?
MWS: First and foremost, my kids know by the way I interact with them, by the things I say yes or no to, that they're more important than my career. They know that if my family were suffering I would take a sabbatical if not quit the whole thing. Whether it's driving the carpool or taking their mom out on a date once a week, they see my involvement. They know that in the past I've given up opportunities to perform on television because it's family time. The record company is saying, "Do you know what a great opportunity this is?" And I tell them, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to be in Beaver Creek, Colorado with my family and I'm not going anywhere."
CM: You co-wrote several of the songs on the new album with a variety of different writers. What's the process like when you're co-writing?
MWS: I wrote all the music and came up with titles for about half the songs. I probably wrote more lyrics for this album than I have on many other records. I've never written with more co-writers in my entire life. It's usually just Wayne Kirkpatrick. Wayne was busy doing the Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines thing. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, but I had a hard time trying to find people who could convey what I wanted to say. I worked with people I've never worked with before in my entire life, so that was a real stretch for me. I just went with the best lyrics, with the people who could get inside of me and read my heart. In terms of the writing it was definitely the most difficult project I've ever done, but I'm really happy with it. In my opinion there are some really big, big things on this record. "This is Your Time," which {{Wes King}} and I hashed out together, is a great song. I think Wes wrote a lyric of a lifetime. It's centered around Cassie Bernall, the girl who lost her life at Columbine. There are some things I think I'm going to be proud of for the rest of my life, and that's one of them.
CM: Your giving {{Ginny Owens}}, a young artist, a chance to write with you was a great break for her.
MWS: Yeah, and of all the songs for her to write She wrote a song called "I'm Gone," which is about my wife. It's kind of a fun song: I found this girl, I completely lost my mind, I'm gone! Could this be love? Ginny knew that the song was called "I'm Gone," and I told her a little bit about Deb, but I thought that her writing this was really incredible. She's really happy about it too.
CM: Brian Lennox is your co-producer. You worked with him on ==Go West Young Man==. Why did you choose him to work with on this album?
MWS: I wanted to drive the record. You get a Patrick Leonard or a Brown Bannister, and they're pretty much going to drive it. Brian was willing to step back and allow me to make a lot of the decisions, but I could also turn over the baton and let him do his magic. He's one of the most amazing engineers I've ever worked with. A lot of it had to do with what he can do sonically with consoles, and O2Rs, and hard drives and radar systems - it's wild! It was a totally different way of making a record. He had it down pat.
CM: What's the main theme of ==This is Your Time==?
MWS: I don't think the record necessarily hangs together. I don't think there's any one thing that makes the record cohesive. When people listen to the record, I think they'll remember "This is Your Time." It's the title, and it's the most powerful song on the record. And then we come back at the very end and do a reprise of the song. It's the milestone of the record. I hope it will make people evaluate their hearts and realize it's time to step up to the plate.
CM: I recently saw the video for that song, and it's very well done.
MWS: I'm really happy with the video. That was a very emotional time for us. We felt like we were treading on sacred ground a little bit. We didn't want to offend the family. It's a delicate subject, you know? We just wanted to do the right thing, and I think we did. I don't think we overstepped our boundaries by putting Cassie on the front. Her testimony is extremely powerful.
CM: Were you involved in any of the memorial services in Columbine?
MWS: I was at the big memorial, the one that Al Gore and Franklin Graham were at. I sang "Friends." It was so surreal. To this day I can't believe it happened. It was very powerful. I was there all day visiting kids in the hospital. Meeting Cassie's mom and dad was the highlight of the day. I was blown away by their faith. That was the inspiration for the song. I came home and couldn't get Cassie off my mind. Knowing a little about the tough times she went through, and her recent commitment to the Lord inspired me. If I hadn't gone, I don't think I would've written that song.
CM: You seem to be a mentor for a lot of young artists. What would you say to encourage the young independent Christian artist reading this article?
MWS: Ultimately, you're the one who has to work out your own salvation. If you feel like God wants you to pursue this career, then go for it. I knocked the door down. I was so confident - I might have been a little too confident - because I knew this was what I was supposed to do. On the other hand, I prayed and said, "Lord, if this isn't Your will for me, then change my desires." I decided to go for it, but I knew that if I was supposed to do something else, I'd do it. I think if you can get a good combination of those theories, you're going to be okay.

Database covers aroma compounds.
Except for indexing standards, the data have been taken from published research that involved the use of gas chromatography-olfactometry (GCO). The data are listed in decreasing retention indices, by both Kovats n-paraffin and ethyl ester index, on four different substrates.
To qualify for the Flavornet, an odorant must have been detected in a natural product or real environment by quantitative GCO, such as aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA), CharmAnalysis[TM] or Osme. For this reason, the Flavornet lists only those volatiles that humans use in their chemical ecology.
Once on the list, missing data about an odorant can be filled with estimates (shown in square brackets). These estimates will be replaced with experimental measurements as they become available. The chemical data for the odorants were checked against the Chemical Abstract Service databases. If you would like to add to this database, contact scientists at Cornell University.
Scientists are interested in how stimulant composition is represented in perception. Mediated by sensory neurons expressing a given receptor, these odorants generate neural excitation in the brain that is a topographic map of sensory information. Research suggests that olfactory receptor expression varies significantly in the human population, and this may explain the functional variation in taste and olfaction that has been observed for decades. Understanding the relationship between stimulant composition and perception is central to understanding the representation of chemical information in the brain and the impact of genetic diversity on the perception of food.
An internal representation of the external world is created in the brain of all eukaryotes by a mechanism that detects chemicals in the environment. The mechanism transmits this information to the brain, where it is processed to create, at least in humans, perceptions. This sensory representation of the external chemical world in the brain is a translation of stimulus features into a neural sensory map. It is the nature of this sensory map that is the goal of research, namely how it is established by stimulant patterns, how it varies in a population, and ultimately how it modulates other brain functions such as emotions or behavior.

New Zealand will be visiting the subcontinent in 2012, when they will be touring India. New Zealand tour of India is slated to begin from August 2012, as per the cricket fixture released by the International Cricket Council. New Zealand will be visiting India during the period of August-September, during which both these teams will engage in the longest format of the game. Just like all the other cricket series of recent past and distant future, India vs New Zealand 2012 will be a part of the innovative initiative of the International Cricket Council - The Future Tour Programs, which will help in the promotion of the game.
The tour begins on August 2, 2012, with the 1st Test. Besides 2 Test matches, New Zealand vs India series will also comprise 2 T20 International games. India has been very strong in the Test format for almost a year now with consistent batting and bowling performance. India also possesses a balanced side, as well as superior bench strength. On the other hand, New Zealand is not known for successful tours. It will, therefore be, one of the most difficult tours on the visitor's part. For these reasons, New Zealand vs India is one of the most anticipated encounters of the 2012 cricketing calendar.
In the New Zealand vs India Test match, it would be interesting to know who will be top spinner on this cricket pitch with interesting fight between cricket bat and cricket ball in India vs New Zealand 2012. Some cricket websites like sky sports, star cricket and cricinfo provides latest cricket score on India vs New Zealand 2012 Bilateral Series.
