What is Nike+ Training Club?
Nike+ Training Club (N+TC) is a training app with more than 100 full-body workouts for you to complete any time, anywhere, either individually or as part of a tailored program. The workouts are developed by a Nike professional trainer, inspired by world-class athletes and based on years of Nike research. Each workout is made up of carefully considered drills and aimed at helping you get lean, toned or strong. They can be completed in 15, 30 or 45 minutes, and each will tell you the approximate calories you'll burn and the approximate NikeFuel you'll earn.
What type of training does the app offer?
N+TC offers functional training - a type of exercise that trains the whole body to perform better. It works to develop better muscular balance and joint stability and reinforces the body's ability to move freely during any activity. It aims to strengthen everything from your core to your back, upper body and lower body. The app also offers some gym, high-intensity and studio-based workouts such as yoga.
Who designs the workouts?
N+TC workouts are designed by SPARQ's Marie Purvis, an international trainer-of-trainers with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, a personal trainer certification, and a roster of clients that include professional athletes and non-athletes of all ages. SPARQ is Nike's athletic performance division. For more information, please visit SPARQ. A select group of other personal trainers have also been invited to create N+TC workouts in collaboration with Marie.
How do I know if the app is right for me?
N+TC is a functional training app with workouts that are designed for women but also ideal for men, from the performance athlete to those looking to get in shape. Workouts range from beginner to advanced, and from 15 to 45 minutes, so you can choose the level and duration that works for you. There are also different types of workouts - some with more cardio while others have more weights, so you can choose a style that suits you.
Will I need special equipment?
Some N+TC drills are designed to be completed with equipment, most commonly dumbbells or a step-up box. Using them as instructed will help you get the maximum benefit from your workout, but if you don't have access to them, you can complete the drills without them.
Does N+TC detect my movement?
N+TC provides standardized estimates of calories and NikeFuel for each workout. These approximations are based on our testing of the workouts and don't change based upon your individual usage of the N+TC app. N+TC does not track movement in the way that Nike+ FuelBand SE or Nike+ Running do.
What is the difference between this and the last version of the app?
Our new app has been designed to give you a better and more complete training experience. All the workouts have been evaluated and some have been improved. The addition of four-week programs helps you work towards a longer-term goal, and you can now customize and rate your workouts. Instead of badges, your training progress is tracked through milestones. Bonus athlete and reward content is now available to everyone, and will be added to every season. These are just a few of N+TC's new and exciting features.
Why have you called this version Nike+ Training Club?
The app as a whole is a significant evolution of the Nike Training Club experience and is connected to Nike+ in several ways. For example, you can use the Nike+ Running app as part of your training program and have your running minutes added to your N+TC total. You'll also find approximate NikeFuel earned and calories burned for every workout in the app. Plus, if you have the Nike+ FuelBand SE, you'll be able to tag your N+TC sessions in the Nike+ FuelBand app.
Which languages is N+TC available in?
N+TC is available in US and UK English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, simplified Chinese and Japanese and is controlled by the language settings in your phone.
If you do change the language on your phone, you will need to download the N+TC workout content again to match the new language.
How can I download the app?
You can download N+TC from the iTunes® App Store for iPhone® and iPod Touch®, or from Google Play™ for Android™ phones. You'll need Wi-Fi or a mobile internet connection (if you have enough data; if not, you might be charged by your network provider).
All workout content needs to be downloaded separately, even if you have downloaded workouts in previous versions of NTC. You can choose to do this all at once (which is best done over a Wi-Fi connection) or one by one (which can be done over mobile internet or Wi-Fi if you have limited memory) and can change this in the 'Settings' tab. If you specifically choose to download content over mobile internet when downloading your first workout, the download will pause if you lose connection, and will restart again when reconnected.
Is Nike+ Training Club free?
Yes. The app is free to download and to update. However, please be aware that downloading the app over mobile internet may incur a cost, which is not associated with Nike. For more information, please see 'What type of internet connection do I need?' below.
What type of phone do I need?
N+TC is optimized for iPhone 4S and all later models, as well as iPod Touch and all touch-screen Android phones released from 2011. We're sorry, but if you have an earlier model iPhone, you won't be able to download it. The N+TC iPhone and iPod Touch apps are optimized for iOS 6 and onwards, and the N+TC Android app is optimized for version 4.0 and onwards.
Can I switch between Android and iOS?
Yes. As long as you're connected to the internet and logged in with the same username and password on both devices, your training minutes will sync automatically.
How much data will N+TC take up on my phone?
The N+TC app contains hundreds of drills and visual and audio guides. The app itself is approximately 50MB. However, if you choose to download all the workouts, this will bring the total to around 500MB. Before downloading, please ensure your phone has enough memory.
How do I upgrade my app?
If your iPhone is set to update apps automatically, N+TC will update without you having to do anything. If not, it will be added to your list of app updates in your App Store℠. All you need to do is tap the 'Update' button.
For Android, tap on the upgrade notification in your notifications tray.
How do I choose a workout that's right for me?
All N+TC workouts are designed to help you get lean, get toned or get strong. Using the descriptions provided, you should be able to choose the goal that's right for you. Once you've chosen a goal, you can then choose to do a beginner, intermediate or advanced workout. You can preview the drills in each workout before you start so you'll know what to expect and collect any equipment you might need. You can also customize certain workouts by swapping out some drills for an alternative.
How do I download a workout?
From the home screen, select 'Get Workout', choose your goal, ability level and workout, and tap 'Download'. The first time you tap this, you'll be given a choice to download the single workout or all workouts. You can also download all workouts from 'Settings', through the main navigation. Once a workout is downloaded, you can complete it without internet connection. The only way to delete a workout is to delete the app and re-download it entirely. All other workouts will be lost.
How do I find my most recent workout?
When you first open the app, you'll be able to start your last workout from the homepage by tapping 'Quick Start'. You also can see all your previous workouts by choosing 'Workouts'.
How can I customize my workout?
Certain N+TC workouts can be customized by swapping selected drills for an alternative, but this must be done before you begin the workout. First, choose a workout, then tap 'Customize Workout'. You'll then see a list of the workout drills. Tap 'Edit' and the customizable drills will be highlighted.
Why can I only customize some of the workouts?
Customizable drills have been specially chosen, as they are generally more difficult to complete when injured, require more equipment, or are not as popular as others. Therefore we have given you the opportunity to switch these out for ones you may prefer. We have limited this to two per workout to ensure you still benefit from the expertise of Nike Master Trainers and the drills they have specifically chosen to give you maximum results, while also allowing you to make the workout more personal.
Can I skip or replay a drill in my workout?
Once you've started a workout, you can't skip over a drill or replay your last drill - you can only pause.
How do I control my workout music?
To set music, first choose a workout and tap 'Set Music'. Alternatively, during a workout, tap the musical note icon in the top-left of your screen, which will enable you to select music from iTunes® or MediaPlayer for Android, adjust the volume or skip tracks. You can play songs purchased via the Google Play™ store, Spotify® or any other music app alongside N+TC, but will not be able to control tracks from inside the app.
Will I have enough time to move between drills?
Where the transition between two drills requires extra time to get into position, an automatic countdown has been inserted. There is a double beep to signify the start of this transition period, and a single beep to prompt you to start the next drill.
How do I pause a workout?
As you work out, you'll see a large button at the bottom of the screen that can be used to pause your workout. When you're ready to begin again, press 'Resume' in the center of your screen.
What happens if my workout is interrupted e.g. by a phone call?
If you receive a phone call during your workout, or exit the app for any reason, the workout will automatically pause. When the call ends or you re-enter the app, you'll see an option to 'Resume'.
What happens if I don't complete a workout?
As long as you are more than one minute into your workout, your minutes will be added to your training total.
How do I sync my minutes?
Your workout minutes sync with your Nike+ profile and are added to your training total automatically, as long as you have a Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection.
What are milestones?
Milestones are awarded automatically when your training total reaches specific minute markers, or when you complete a program. You can view all the milestones you've achieved at any time in 'Trophies', which can be found in the navigation menu.
Why should I rate my workout?
Your workout ratings give us important information about the workouts you do and don't like, which helps us continue to improve your experience with Nike+ Training Club.
Can I save my favorite workout?
Once you've completed a workout you are given the option to save the workout to your 'Saved' workouts list for easy access on the 'Workouts' tab.
What is NikeFuel?
N+TC gives you the approximate NikeFuel you would earn for each workout. For more information on NikeFuel, visit here: http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/what_is_fuel/
How will I know which program is right for me?
The app's four-week programs are designed to help you work towards one of three long-term goals: get lean, get toned or get strong. Using the descriptions provided, you should be able to choose the goal that's right for you. Once you've chosen a goal, you can then choose to do a beginner, intermediate or advanced program. You can preview the workouts before you start so you'll know what to expect.
How do N+TC programs work?
N+TC programs are created by Nike SPARQ and have been specifically designed to give you maximum training benefit. Your program starts as soon as you complete the first workout. It will run for four weeks and cannot be paused. N+TC programs cannot be customized, however some individual workouts in the program may have customizable drills. See 'How can I customize my workout?' in the 'Doing an N+TC workout category'.
You can still do N+TC workouts alongside your program, and the minutes will be added to your training total as normal.
You can only do one program at any one time.
How do I access my program information?
You can access your program information through the 'View Program' button on the home screen or the 'Program' tab in the main navigation menu.
Can I do a previous or future workout in my program?
If you've missed a workout, you will not be able to complete it, but can find the workout in the app and complete it alongside your program. It will not be counted towards your program but the minutes will be added to your training total.
When you select a future workout, you'll be able to view the drills it contains. However, it will only be recognized as 'complete' when finished on the day indicated in the program.
Can I do my program from more than one device?
No. While your total minutes are synced to your Nike+ account across all your devices, your program information is stored on your phone, so you can only complete program workouts from a single device.
Can I do another activity instead of running?
Nike SPARQ has developed programs that include running sessions to give you maximum results. There is nothing to stop you from doing another cardio activity instead of running. However, there is no way for a program to recognize this or add the minutes to your training total.
I've reinstalled the app/I've got a new phone. Why do I need to restart my program?
Although your total minutes are synced to your Nike+ account, your program start date and progress is stored on your phone. So if you replace your phone, or if you have to reinstall the app for some reason, you'll lose this data.
Do I need to use Nike+ Running?
Using Nike+ Running with an N+TC program is optional, but if you choose to use it, it can help you get more from your run. You'll be able to map your run, track distance, pace time and calories, and get motivation from your friends. Your minutes from your run will also be added to your N+TC training total. Only minutes run during an N+TC program will be credited to your N+TC minutes total.
How do I start using Nike+ Running?
When you start an N+TC program, you'll be prompted to use Nike+ Running. If it is not installed, you'll have to download the Nike+ Running app. Tap on the 'Download' button and it will take you to the App Store or to Google Play.
How do I stop using Nike+ Running?
You can opt out of Nike+ Running at any time by going to the 'Settings' tab in the main navigation. This won't affect your program progress, but your running minutes won't be added to your training total from then on.
Can I sync minutes with another running app?
No. Your runs will only count toward your N+TC training total when synced with Nike+ Running.
How do my Nike+ runs count towards my N+TC training total?
When you go for a run with Nike+ Running, your minutes are automatically added to your N+TC training total. If you run for longer than the program states, all minutes will be added. However, if you complete more than one run in a day, only the longest will be added to your training total. Please be aware that you need to be logged into Nike+ Running with the same Nike+ account as N+TC in order for your minutes to be transferred across.
Does N+TC take any other info from Nike+ Running?
No. The app only records your running minutes. To see the NikeFuel you've earned, the calories you've burned, and any other data from your run, you'll have to use your Nike+ Running app.
Why can't I find my completed Nike+ Run on N+TC?
To see your completed Nike+ run, your N+TC app must be synced with your Nike+ account (see 'How to start using Nike+ Running') and you must be logged in to both apps using the same Nike+ account credentials. You must also have a Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection to ensure your runs are synced.
What's the difference between signing up with Nike and with Facebook®?
Signing up to N+TC directly requires you to create a unique Nike username and password. If you choose to sign up with Facebook®, your Facebook® and Nike+ accounts will be automatically linked to enable easy sharing.
Can I log in with any other social network accounts?
Currently, N+TC supports social login with Facebook®. In China, users will be able to login via Sina-Weibo and in Russia, Vkontakte.
How can I share my information on social networks?
You can share completed N+TC workouts, milestones and motivational messages. To share your workouts automatically, go to the 'Settings' tab from the main navigation and select 'Autoshare'. Or alternatively, you can share individual workouts after you complete them by tapping 'Share Workout'. Sharing is enabled through Facebook®, Twitter®, Sina-Weibo in China, and Vkontakte in Russia.
How do I opt out or disconnect from Facebook on N+TC?
N+TC does not require you to log in to Facebook®, so you don't have to link it to your account if you don't want to share your progress. You can disable Facebook® linking, or autosharing to Facebook®, at any time from 'Settings'.
Why do I need to register?
Registering saves your workout data and minutes to a Nike+ account. This means that if you use more than one phone, or get a new one, you don't have to start from the beginning. It also means we can sync your N+TC workouts with Nike+ Running, and lets you share your workouts and milestones with friends. Finally, by registering, you're also helping us track how people use N+TC so we can continue to improve it and give you the best possible experience.
Why do you need my email address?
Your email address is unique to you, so it helps guarantee your account is secure. Having your email address also means we can congratulate you on milestones, ask your opinion and let you know of upcoming app developments. For more details of how we use your data, please check our Privacy Policy.
How do I opt out of Nike communications?
To unsubscribe and stop receiving messages from Nike, please change your settings from your Nike account or follow the instructions in the email, text message, notification or other message type. For more information, please visit our Privacy Policy here: http://help-all.nike.com/app/answers/detail/article/privacy-policy/lang_local/en_au/a_id/16378

Please visit our Privacy Policy to learn how Nike uses your personal information: http://help-all.nike.com/app/answers/detail/article/privacy-policy/lang_local/en_au/a_id/16378
What should I do if I have problems logging in?
First, check to make sure your email address and password are up to date and spelled correctly (Nike+ passwords are a combination of letters and numbers, and must use both upper and lower case letters). If you're logging in with Facebook®, make sure your Facebook® account is linked to N+TC (go to Settings > Facebook®). If there is no issue with your login details, our servers may be experiencing temporary problems.
I'm trying to sign up, but it says I already have an account?
If you have registered for Nike+ previously, if you have a Nike+ device, or if you have purchased something from Nike.com in the past, you may already have an account with us. Tap 'Forgot Password' and enter your email address for a password reminder. Or you can choose to register with a different email address.
I asked for a password reminder and it says my email address was not found?
If the email address you entered has not been recognized as a valid Nike+ email address, please check the email address entered or create a new account. Alternatively, tweet us your problem at https://twitter.com/NikeSupport.
Can I use my N+TC account on more than one device?
Yes, your N+TC account can be used on more than one device. As long as you have an internet connection, your minutes will sync across all devices at the end of each workout.
Can more than one person use N+TC on the same device?
Yes, but you must use individual login credentials. Before logging out, make sure your workouts are synced (this happens automatically if you are connected to the internet), or you may lose unsaved minutes.
Why can't I see my N+TC minutes in my other Nike+ apps?
This functionality isn't currently available, however we are aware of this issue.
How do I log out?
You can log out from the 'Settings' tab (iOS) or from the overflow menu (Android), which is accessed through the main N+TC menu. Before you log out, make sure your latest workout is completed and synced, so any minutes are saved to your training total.

Looking at the playoff race currently in the AFC, one might tend to think that the Dolphins are behind the ball, as they are currently tied at the No. 9 spot with a 4-4 record. However, a quick glance at the Dolphins schedule of game already played and games yet to come tell two different stories; six of the Dolphins' first eight opponents this year were in the playoffs last season, while only two of the remaining eight were playoff contenders last year (the Jets and Patriots, whom they have already played once this season). And since two playoff teams in the AFC last season finished with 9-7 records, it is not unheard of to think that the Dolphins could end the season with a 5-3 record, especially since of the remaining five teams on the home schedule, only two of them have winning records – and both of those are merely 5-3.
What's perhaps even more encouraging for Fins fans is that, of the 12 teams that made the playoffs last season, three of them were 4-4 after eight games last season (NY Jets, Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers). History can certainly repeat itself in 2010, so don't lose faith on your Miami Dolphins, because they're surely not losing faith on you.
A closer look at the records of the 12 playoff teams last year after eight games: Cincinnati Bengals: 6-2 NY Jets: 4-4 Baltimore Ravens: 4-4 New England Patriots: 6-2 Indianapolis Colts: 8-0 San Diego Chargers: 5-3 Dallas Cowboys: 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles: 5-3 Minnesota Vikings: 7-1 Green Bay Packers: 4-4 Arizona Cardinals: 5-3 New Orleans Saints: 8-0

Harry Potter spinoff films to get game adaptations
Ever wanted to play with the magical monsters in the Hogwarts textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"? Well, soon you can.
Warner Bros. announced on Thursday a new series of Harry Potter spinoff films based on the textbook written by fictional author Newt Scamander, and said these properties will be developed into games as well.

New Shade Of Blue
Jacqi Meacham - 28/01/2015
Nice dance with 3 easy (obvious) restarts, Class really enjoyed it :)
Rock & Roll King
Linda Williams - 28/01/2015
Another class hit. The tags fit perfectly.Great music from E L O. Lot of happy faces for this one.
Love Me Like You Do
David Spencer - 28/01/2015
A couple of easy sections to open with but then some slightly more tricky timing issues in sections 3 to 5 of the dance. One or two weren't that keen on the track but think this will do quite well with most intermediate level dancers.
Run Away With You
David Spencer - 28/01/2015
One of those dances that seems to be a bit of a challenge for some on the first week but is much easier when recapping it on week 2. No problems with the restarts, a good beat to dance to and deservedly doing well in the dance charts.
Vroom Vroom
David Spencer - 28/01/2015
Music may not be everyone's cuppa tea due to the rapping in it, but this is a great little dance that is ideal for improvers/lower intermediates. The step scuff and shuffle section is my favourite. The only bit that some had to work on was coming out of the side rocks into the side, cross, side and sailor heel part.
Your Loving Arms
Christine Wallace - 28/01/2015
Fab dance to a beautiful track which you want to hear again and again. Can be enjoyed by all. Should do very well.
ANGELA Stokes - 28/01/2015

Ethel Ramsey - 28/01/2015

Your Loving Arms
Diane Hopkins - 28/01/2015
Fantastic dance to a fantastic track. Flows beautifully. Vikki Morris, well done. Yet again another hit, you are becoming one of the choreographers that I now look for when new dances are published.
Christine Wallace - 27/01/2015
Very skillful choreography which captures the mood of this catchy, sassy track.Two restarts. A fun dance from beginning to end. Should be a big hit for Maggie, Gary and Helen. Can't wait to teach it.
Hard Work
Sally Tipping - 27/01/2015
My class loved this gorgeous dance. Some took a few of the turns out, which is easy to do, but most managed all of them fine. We thought it might be a bit dizzy-making but it just wasn't. You do need to have a compass - thanks for your directional tips Ross! Once that was sorted, no problems, the re-start flows with the steps/music. By the 3rd time thru everyone was really into this lovely piece of music and equally lovely dance to match. We enjoyed it a lot!
One More Day
Valerie Curnock - 27/01/2015
A lovely flowing country nightclub to a super track. This dance deserves to be a bit hit for you Julia.
One More Day
Val Whittington - 27/01/2015
What a beautiful dance to a lovely country track. A straightforward teach and a dance that flows really well. Only one restart on front wall easy to feel in the music. Well done Julie hope it does really well ,class loved it so we will be dancing it for a long time!!

According to our dusty and extensive GLS archives (Getty Images), this picture was taken in 2006 when Antonio Garay was with the Bears, and it documents a rare time in the history of the NFL. Gaze into his eyes, and take a mental image of Garay in this state. Although we can't verify this, we suspect it's one of the last times he looked normal on a regular basis.
The image above is likely an artifact that should be cherished, because Garay has since morphed into a whimsical artist, using his head as an endless canvas. Currently in his renaissance phase, Garay rolls out a new design that looks as though it's been drawn with magic markers and crayons nearly every week, each more unique than the last.
Now in his third season with the Chargers, the defensive lineman debuted his latest design last night.
No one turns facial hair into an artistic statement like Garay. You see, for Garay this is more than just hair, it's a lifestyle, and one that's reflected in the Hello Kitty Smart Car he drives to work every day. Yes, a 6'4″, 320 pound lineman can fit into a Smart Car.
Other designs have shunned the linear and parallel approach on the beard for a more abstract look…
And then there was the blue top…
And the purple top, which may or may not be in direct opposition to Tim Tebow's moral principles.

The movie Game may not have worked wonders for Abhishek Bachchan, but it definitely got one debutant noticed — model-turned-actor Sarah-Jane Dias. Sarah, who recently signed on the dotted line for Ekta Kapoor's sequel to Kya Kool Hai Hum, says she had been yearning to put her comic chops to test right after her debut. "I am more excited than nervous. I have always wanted to do a light-hearted romcom. Audiences haven't seen this side to me as yet," she says.
The decision to take up this film, says Sarah, happened immediately after the script narration. "I was impressed when director Sachin Yardi narrated the role. At that time, I had to choose between a sci-fi film and this comedy and I chose this. I am young and wanted to try a different genre. But having said that, if I had received an offer for anything more dramatic, I would have definitely gone for that," says Sarah.
While things are going well work-wise, the 28-year-old actor agrees that the industry is becoming more competitive by the day. "There are new girls coming in every day, but it's not a threat at all. I am very glad that the industry is warming up to newbies. It was a challenge for me, especially because I don't have a filmi background. I feel blessed that Bollywood has accepted me and given me the best of opportunities," she says.
And the one-film-old Sarah is not only making waves in Bollywood. Pretty soon she will be seen in the much-awaited Panjaa alongside Tollywood Power Star Pawan Kalyan. And Sarah is in awe of her co-star. "He is a great person. He has travelled a lot and seen the world, is well read and not pompous at all. I knew that he was a big star even before we began shooting," says Sarah, who will be seen in a non-glamourous avatar in the film.
But wasn't it tough talking in Telugu? "I did have a feeling of being incomplete in that area, but director Vishnuvardhan put me at complete ease and spoke to me in the language I understand. He made me go over the lines till it felt like I was talking in my own language," says Sarah.
Meanwhile, it's not just her work that's creating a buzz at the moment. Quiz her about her link-up with cricketer Virat Kohli and she brushes it aside with a categorical "no comments". "I have worked on four films in two years, that leaves little time for anything else. I am single and I am simply loving it," claims Sarah.

Hello, we have these two trees in our backyard that just started blooming some types of fruit. We cant figure what they are and hoping you can help identify. We thought the green one was an avocado but when we cut it open there were several small seeds. Thanks Kevin |

Picture number two is a guava tree (fruit) (Genus: Psidium). They are native to Latin America; in Spanish they are called Guallavas. They can be eaten raw, juice, dried, candied, fruit bars, and fruit punch. The seeds are edible too. They are ready to eat until the skin turns yellow; depending on the variety, the flesh is either white or red. One more fact: They are very popular in Hispanic Markets and expensive too, the average price for a pound is $1.99. |

I think # 1 is a curry leaf tree. Lucky you if it is! If you like Indian food. :). You do not make the thick curry sauces with it but you do flavor Indian dishes with a leaf or two sizzled in hot oil. If you go onto Allrecipes.com and enter curry leaf into the search box...neat recipes will come up. Also, you could go onto the Asian section of garden web for a more positve ID. I may be wrong but it looks exactly like my little plant that I searched high and low for and then paid a pretty penny for it. |
- Posted by HeyJude2012 10b/24 Ca (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 23:34
Addendum....Curry Leaf tree is Murraya Koenigii. You don't eat the fruits/seeds. Also, I meant Asian Vegetable section :) Jude |
Thank you all for the quick replies! Looks like we have some homework to do on recipes before they rippen! |
- Posted by Itheweatherman USDA 8b, Elevation 2 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 13 at 23:40
You could also make guava jelly, guava preserves, and the most common recipe... guava juice. Or just eat them raw. |

Hi Fruitwhat, you are one lucky person. I concur with heyjude and weatherman, first tree is a curry leaf tree (Murraya koenigii) and second is Guava tree. Both are tropical trees and many folks including me love to have them in the backyard. |

The Arcata City Council will receive an update on both the recently passed excessive electricity tax and an alternative energy program at its regular meeting Wednesday.
Arcata residents passed Measure I, the Excessive Residential Electricity Use Tax -- known as the grow tax -- on Nov. 6. It will place a 45 percent tax on electricity of residential households that exceed 600 percent of the average residential electrical usage in the city.
An initial meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to discuss the implementation of the tax. According to a staff report from the city, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has been contacted to begin the process of implementation. PG&E quoted their cost of changing their billing system for the new tax to be $650,000.
According to the staff report, had the tax been enacted in 2011, it would have generated about $1.25 million in projected revenue.
The council will also receive a report on and discuss options for creating a community choice aggregation project. The project would mean the city could independently purchase or generate renewable electricity for its residents and businesses. PG&E would continue to deliver the power, and provide meter reading, billing and other services.
Similar programs are being planned in other cities, including Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Luis Obispo, a staff report said.
In other business, the council will consider introducing an ordinance that will deal with preferential permit parking.

Confirmed: Miranda Kerr Isn't Walking The Victoria's Secret Show
Digital Writer
Miranda Kerr's been super busy lately. She's been whipping up health smoothies on Net-a-Porter's website, touring Japan to promote Samantha Thavasa handbags and walking the most prestigious runways in Paris. She's been working on her Kora Organics beauty line, starring in Mango's fall campaign and, of course, posing on the cover of our 100 Perfect Outfits special issue. You know what she hasn't been doing, though? Preparing to walk in the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show this November.
Despite claims earlier this year from the lingerie company's chief marketing officer, Ed Razek, that the recently-retired Angel was scheduled to appear at this year's event, the model told Fashionista she can't due to a conflicting commitment in Asia. It was a tough design, she admitted, especially since the brand feel like "family," but she just "can't be in two places at the same time."
Of course, seeing as the model has been loosening her ties with the brand since officially hanging up her wings last spring, this news isn't all that surprising. What's far more interesting about the announcement is that there's now an empty spot in the VS show that needs to be filled by a Miranda-caliber girl. We're dying to see who they ask!

more from the house move. This is a 100 year old Sears boxcar house. Back in the day you would pick out a house from the Sears catalog and the whole thing would be delivered, unassembled in a boxcar on a train. Then you build it. This is a large area in Greensboro where the main university is expanding and therefore, gentrifying 8 blocks of this old neighborhood that for the last 40 years has been low income, high crime.

- Athletes will start in waves. Your wave will be posted at packet pickup and at bodymarking prior to the race and at the swim start. Each wave will have its own swim cap color. You must start in your assigned wave to receive an accurate time.
- You must wear the swim cap provided in your packet during the swim portion. The swim crew will be watching for the specific colors for your safety.
- The swim course will be clearly marked with buoys. It is basically a straight-line swim. There will be safety personnel in kayaks, and boats. Lifeguards will be stationed along the course.
- You will receive final instructions on the swim course at the athlete meeting and again at the swim start. You will also be instructed on how to let the swim crew know if you need help in the water. You may go to shore to rest but cannot advance the course on land. You may hang on to a kayak as long as you do not advance the course with the kayak.
- The exit is on a ramp with handrails on the side. Please be courteous to other athletes coming out of the water at the same time. Use the handrails as the non-slip surface can still be a little slippery.
- Use caution on the boardwalk as you are leaving he water. There are no handrails along the narrow path. Try to stay single file or pass with caution along that section.
- You can leave pre race gear in the bag with your bib #number on it at the swim start.(sunglasses, shoes, etc) There is a path cleared to the river, however, you might want to bring some disposible flip flops to get to the beach. The bag will be waiting for you near transition after the race.
- The swim exit involves a run on the asphalt for approx 150 yards. This will be clean but you may leave some shoes at the swim exit if you prefer not to run barefooted. Please leave them in the designated shoe area at the swim exit (marked with a sign).
- You cannot wear booties or aqua socks on the swim. No fins. No flotation devices, per USAT rules.
Bike and Transition
- The transition area is hard packed dirt. Please bring a large towel or mat for your transition gear.
- You must adhere to the designated mounting and dismounting areas in and out of transition.
- Bike racks will be designated by gender and bib# ranges. Make sure your bike is in good working order. There will be tech support in the transition to assists with minor bike issues and will be available to pick you up on the bike course if you can't continue.
- No drafting on the bike segment. We understand the course is small and there are a lot of athletes on course. It may difficult to stay back from other cyclists the entire time, however a marshal will be on the course and may give penalties to flagrant violations. See USAT rules link for more information.
- Stay to the far right of the course unless you are passing the cyclist in front of you. This allows room for other cyclists to pass you safely on the left. Do not try pass at the turnarounds.
- This is a 2-lap course with tight turns, be aware of cyclists around you. Be predictable to cyclists behind you. Check for cyclists around and behind you before turning sharply or crossing the lane. ALWAYS remain vigilant to car traffic. Even with a closed course, vehicles sometimes will cross onto the course, either by mistake or on purpose. THIS IS A CLOSED COURSE WITH NO AUTO TRAFFIC. Your lane will be closed but vehicles will be moving in the lane next to you.
- You must complete 2 laps on the bike. You are responsible to keep track of your own laps, but we will electronically monitor you as well. Timing results will indicate if the 2 loops weren't made, but not until after the race.
- Portions of the course flow against the normal use of the road, but will be well marked.
- You must wear your bike helmet with the chin strap closed at all times while on your bike
- Athletes will show their wristband to claim gear from transition area. You will have to retrieve your own bike and transition gear for the security of other's property.
Run Information
- The run has 2 out and back sections with 2 designated turnarounds. You must reach these two checkpoints to be eligible for awards. Spotters will check off bib numbers.
- Because of the out and back feature, be sure to stay on your designated side of the trail sometimes this will require you to run on the left side of the trail.
- The aid station is approx. 1 1/2 miles into the run at the 2nd turnaround. They will have water. There are also portta-potties.
- The course has you run around Riverstone Lake clockwise with a finish back near transition. This section is spectator friendly to the finish.
Finish line Information
- Only athletes may enter the finish line chute for safety reasons.
- Your timing chip will be removed by a volunteer after you cross the finish.
- Oranges, bananas, muffins, and water will be at the finish line area.
Award Ceremony and Results
- Results will be posted after approx. 25% of the field has finished and will continue to be posted until the last person finishes. The Results Board will in the finish area.
- The awards ceremony will begin at approx. 10:30 AM or when most of the field is finished. Medals will go to the top 5 male and female finishers in each category except teams. The top 3 teams will receive medals in each team category.
- Bib numbers will be drawn throughout the awards ceremony for nice prizes. You must be present to claim.

If you have a preschooler who gets up before the sun is out, before the coffee maker it on and before you can pry your gritty eyes open, then you have an early bird. Early risers need activities to do in the morning so that everyone keeps their sanity. If they know their morning tasks, you can have a few more quiet moments to drink your coffee before you start barking orders.
Quiet Time
If you have a preschooler that just wants to get up before the rooster crows, you are going to need some quiet time in the morning. Put a clock in your child's room and teach her the basics. She won't be able to tell time quite yet, but you can tell her "do not come out of your room before the first number is 7." Explain that she can always come out to go to the bathroom or if she needs help, but otherwise, the earlier numbers mean quiet time. Give her some activities she can do in bed, like browsing books, listening to music or playing with toys.
Getting Ready
When it's time to get up, your toddler can master quiet a few tasks on her own. She won't be ready to make you coffee, but you can lay out her clothes for her and she can get dressed. You can also tell her to go potty and brush her hair before she starts the day. These little things make your life a lot easier so when she's ready, have get ready with as little help as possible.
Scrambled eggs aren't on the list of food your preschooler can make in the morning. But, if you wash and cut some fruit the night before and open a container of yogurt, she can pull it off a low shelf and have a snack. You should be up by this time, to make sure she doesn't choke, but this activity gives her a little independence and teaches her about healthy food choices. It also gives you a few more minutes to wake up before she starts really getting going.
The morning is the perfect time for some light exercise. You won't want to do intensive cardio or weight training with your wee one, but you can enjoy some mother daughter yoga or a bike ride. This will give you both a feel-good attitude for the day and even if you don't get in your own workout, at least you know you did something physical.

School Improves Teaching and Learning While Cutting ICT Costs by Approximately 45 Per Cent
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Xaveriuscollege wanted to provide all teachers with the tools they needed to incorporate technology into their lessons and to prepare for integration of an Electronic Learning Environment (ELO) extending teaching and learning beyond the classroom. Teachers received Dell Latitude laptops that could be connected to projectors installed in every classroom of the secondary school. IT administrators consulted with Dell and came up with a novel way for teachers to control these projectors from their desks, using a port replicator solution.

5 Bargain Stocks to Buy Before 2013
State Street
State Street (STT - Get Report) is another special case in the banking business. Unlike its traditional big banking peers, State Street is a trust bank. That means that it focuses on asset management, custody, and administration instead of retail and commercial lending. Because of that, State Street's revenues aren't earned on the spread between the rates they charge and the rates they pay; they're earned on stable fees.
>>5 Bank Stocks Bernanke Can't Hurt Anymore
There are a few tailwinds that should help State Street grow its income statement in the next couple of years. The first is stocks. With an equity rally that's already sent the S&P more than 13% higher this year, State Street is looking at expanding assets under custody -- and since the firm is paid on the size of the assets it's watching, a climbing market is a good thing for investors. At the same time, the continued popularity of ETFs is another tailwind. State Street is one of the biggest ETF sponsors in the marketplace, so it benefits by having more products out there. State Street made some big strides to shore up its financial condition during the financial crisis, and now, with that behind it, the firm's financials look attractive again. With shares trading just around book value right now, STT sports the type of discount that more traditional banks are trading for; that makes this trust bank a bargain right now.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Education: BSc, University of Leeds, UK; PhD, Curtin University, Australia
I have worked as a delivery boy, fitness instructor, musician, and software engineer so geography seemed the next logical choice. My research interests are broad, covering most aspects of GIS, visualization, philosophy of science, semantics and pragmatics, e-science, representation of scientific knowledge, geocomputation, digital remote sensing, artificial intelligence tools, spatial analysis, Voronoi diagrams, spatial databases and algorithms, and spatial reasoning. This is because I can never sit still for too long and am easily distracted................Oh, yes, I've also dabbled in mineral potential mapping, epidemiology, habitat analysis, bio-informatics, e-learning and predicting land-cover change. While at Penn State University I was involved in a number of funded research projects, from ontology capture to spatial epidemiology, and details of which you can find here http://www.geovista.psu.edu/research/projects/research.jsp. I also directed a new Professional Masters degree program in GIS http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/MasterinGIS_GIS.shtml, developed at the Dutton e-Education Institute https://www.e-education.psu.edu/ at Penn State, and delivered through World Campus http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/ .
I teach courses on the technical side: geovisualization, remote sensing, geocomputation, spatial data structures and algorithms, new sensing technologies, GIS design and evaluation and so forth. While at Curtin University, in Australia, I helped to establish the first undergraduate degree program in GIS.
In whatever spare time is left over after family, work and trying to keep in shape, I play guitar in a local band.

Biographical Details
Mark was born into a poor farming family eking out an existence on the cold, bleak moorlands of Yorkshire, England. Bananas have never flourished well in this type of climate, and it was not long before Mark was sold off by his family to finance his mother's gin addiction. He was purchased by the local university labs, to be the subject of scientific experiments. Thus began his fascination for science, (and his addiction to smoking 200 cigars a day) which have remained with him ever since.
After playing the piano in a brothel for several years on leaving school, Mark gladly accepted a position as floor sweeper in the School of Computing Studies, at the University of Leeds, UK, where he worked with dedication for a number of years amid a cloud of cigar smoke. He was deported to Australia for 'Spitting On A Tuesday', which is still a capital offence throughout most of Europe.
Upon arrival in the Antipodes he adjusted to a life of hard labor during the day at the Department of Geographic Information Science, Curtin University, but still found the energy to study Australian Slang at night school. His progress, according to his teachers, was "very poor" since he only managed to learn to say "G'day" after several years of intensive effort. During his time in Australia he remained constantly amazed by the 'big yellow round hot thing' in the sky.
After serving just less than six years of his life sentence, Mark was released from the colonies (due to a clerical error) and boarded a ship bound for the New World, to seek fame, fortune and a cure for cigar addiction. In between auditioning for rock bands, panning for gold and attending the Betty Ford clinic he worked at The Pennsylvania State University, Department of Geography; where, after a freak (and almost fatal) accident involving a metal helmet, an industrial magnet, a javelin and a large clock dial, he was employed as a compass.
In late 2007, anticipating an immanent reversal in the Earth's magnetic field, he wisely returned to the southern hemisphere, where he believes his polarity and skill as a compass will shortly be in demand. Failing that, he plans to retool himself as a parking meter. In the meantime, he continues to make up ridiculous tales about his life for anyone idle enough to read them.
He is no longer certain as to where he is from, and even less certain about where he is going. His research interests are also very uncertain indeed, but they currently include the study of the habitat niche of the Highland Haggis the inappropriate or incorrect use of Geographic Information Systems, the mythical origins of GIScience and the use of geographers as resources in search procedures.

It was like a reality show. ''One day Ricky Martin was there with a hundred Latin journalists glued to him like a swarm,'' Nelly Furtado says, describing the scene at Miami's Hit Factory as she recorded her third album, Loose. ''The next day paparazzi were hiding in the bushes to get a glimpse of Paris Hilton making her record.'' It had all the ingredients of a Surreal Life casting call, but how did the Grammy-winning Canadian singer, who once shared the stage with Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige, end up amid these pop-cultural punchlines?
After a debut CD, 2000's Whoa, Nelly!, that sold 2 million copies and made her a worldwide star at 22, Furtado's follow-up, Folklore, failed to click with listeners and sold just 500,000 units. ''It had a lot of cynicism,'' she admits. ''People were wondering, 'Where's Nelly? Where's the butterflies?'''
Nearly three years later, there's still no sign of butterflies, but Furtado has emerged from her cocoon with the aptly named Loose (out June 20), a confidently sexy mix of party anthems and slow jams. As the first single, ''Promiscuous,'' and its follow-up ''Maneater'' (a song so hot a speaker caught fire while she was recording it) show, the 27-year-old isn't beholden to fans of her airy breakthrough hit, ''I'm Like a Bird.'' ''It's not about how big my audience is,'' she explains. ''It's about having an audience that understands what I'm doing. I'm not faithful to one style—I'm a musically promiscuous girl.'' And with the soaring popularity of ''Promiscuous'' and its steamy video featuring Justin Timberlake, Furtado is proving an old maxim: Getting around can do a career good.
''To me, Nelly's like Pat Benatar or Fleetwood Mac,'' says rapper-producer Timothy ''Timbaland'' Mosley, who co-piloted the making of Loose. ''She's timeless and can do different kinds of styles.'' That's been evident since Whoa, Nelly!'s quirky amalgam of pop, folk, bossa nova, and Latin sounds. Still, that album collected dust for several months before ''I'm Like a Bird'' took flight up the charts and thrust Furtado into the spotlight. ''It was like being thrown into a circus,'' she says of the experience. ''I matured really quickly. I think that's why you see a lot of young entertainers getting engaged or settling down they mature hyper-fast.''
Sure enough, Furtado soon fell in love with Jasper ''Lil' Jaz'' Gahunia, a DJ, and got pregnant in Dec. 2002. She wanted to keep recording, but the timing was curious: Furtado started work on Folklore five months into her pregnancy. ''Everyone including my mother thought it was ridiculous,'' she says.
Even as her somber sophomore effort was confounding fans, the singer ''was in the coolest mood,'' she says. ''Three weeks after I had my daughter, I had a fitting for The Tonight Show and I fit into like a size 14 pants, but I didn't care. I had that glow.'' With Folklore faring better abroad than in the U.S., Furtado decided to tour with baby and daddy in tow. ''I was breast-feeding Nevis and traveling like a gypsy,'' Furtado recalls. ''Japan, France, Germany we have lots to tell her when she's older.''
