Best Second Coming of a Sports God Denver 2002 - Michael Jordan
Most fans -- and ticket scalpers -- had given up on the idea of a bonanza for the head Washington Wizard's sole visit to the Pepsi Center this season. While the hapless Nugs limped into oblivion, MJ was hobbled following mid-season arthroscopic surgery on his 39-year-old right knee. Still, he suited up on March 20, and while he publicly said he treated the contest like a practice, flashbulbs lit up the return of the twice-retired Airness. Jordan didn't score much, but "ticket brokers" did. Any bets on a third coming next year?

It appears that I'm the first person to arrive for work today. As I write this, it is 6:40am and I'm sitting in a dimly-lit workroom, still bundled and bloated in my winter coat like a sentient, depressed Chipotle burrito.
I got up this morning much earlier than usual to assist my lovely wife with our crying child. After Oliver eventually fell back asleep, my wife retreated to bed and I went ahead with my morning routine about 45 minutes ahead of schedule. The end result of this is the fact that I'm now alone in the school. I am but a beleaguered apparition shuffling silently through the vacant hallways of remorse.
How might I take advantage of this rare opportunity? Should I yell some of my swear words really loud? Should I correct tests naked? Should I correct the anotomical inaccuracies contained in some of the drawings on the middle school boy's bathroom stalls? It appears that the world is my dark, wintery oyster this morning.
Oh wait. Nevermind. Apparently, I'm not alone – I just saw a custodian. He must think along the same lines I do, because his shirt is totally unbuttoned.
Man, that guy's belly is really hairy. He seriously makes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed look like the epitome of fine grooming.
Anyway, long story short, I've spent so long writing this and thinking about KSM's fat, hairy neck that I just missed my first hour class.

Just wanted to pass this along in case anybody missed the draft last night.
I thought the commissioner handled a tough situation relatively well, but was also sort of hoping they'd keep loudly chanting despite his attempts to quiet them. Unfortunately, the Alabama tornado topic steered fans in another direction. It's one thing to drown the guy out when he's talking about football, but it's obviously significantly more disrespectful to do so while he discusses a tragedy that has taken lives.
Regardless, it sent a nice message. Everything helps.

TUCSON - Ironwood Ridge's Mitch Fischer and Anthony Braunreiter were great buddies in the backfield with Fischer running and Braunreiter blocking.
"We were real close and I loved blocking for him, that was basically my role last season," said Braunreiter.
But last year was a trying season for Braunreiter who had to patiently wait for his turn to get back on the field.
"Third week of the season I broke my thumb, had surgery and I was out for 6-7 weeks," said Braunreiter. "It was tough to be at practice and not participate," he added.
When Braunreiter took the field last Friday night against rival Canyon del Oro, he made the most of his return to the gridiron, running for 112 yards and three touchdowns to beat Canyon del Oro 36-0.

Medical Emergency Response Team (Helmand)
Oral Answers to Questions — Defence
2:30 pm
Madeleine Moon (Bridgend, Labour)
How many times the medical emergency response team has been called out in Helmand province in the last year.
Nick Harvey (The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence; North Devon, Liberal Democrat)
The UK Forward Aeromed capability, commonly referred to as the medical emergency response team, has been called out around 480 times in Helmand province in the past year. As air evacuation assets like this are shared between coalition nations, not all call-outs will have been for UK personnel, as the team provides medical evacuation for UK and other international security assistance force troops, as well as Afghan security forces and civilians when appropriate.
Madeleine Moon (Bridgend, Labour)
I am sure that the House will want to put on record its appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of the members of the medical emergency response team, many of whom are civilians who risk their lives helping personnel who have been injured. One of the issues I am greatly concerned about is the capacity to rescue people who may have suffered spinal injuries from heavily armoured vehicles, and whether appropriate rescue and cutting equipment and release mechanisms for doors and roofs are available so that when people are removed further damage to their spine is limited. Will the Minister confirm that such equipment is available for MER teams?
Nick Harvey (The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence; North Devon, Liberal Democrat)
It certainly has not been put to us that there is a problem in that respect, but in the light of the concerns expressed by the hon. Lady, I will take that issue away, look at it in detail and write to her.
Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire, Conservative)
Will the Minister explain what efforts have been made to improve the capacity and efficiency of medical emergency response teams over the past 12 months?
Nick Harvey (The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence; North Devon, Liberal Democrat)
We are not aware that there are any specific capacity problems. In fact, calls on the service over the past 12 months have been rather reduced from the level experienced in the previous 12 months. That reduction reflects both reduced kinetic activity in the area of operations and improved efficiency in the way in which the task is shared across Regional Command Southwest. I believe that the position has improved significantly, and that there are no specific capacity difficulties at the moment.
Jim Murphy (Shadow Secretary of State for Defence; East Renfrewshire, Labour)
On Helmand, up until
about a conditions-based withdrawal, and for the medical emergency teams and all our forces to return home and for the Afghan forces to take the lead on security by 2014. On that date the US Secretary of Defence announced a 2013 timetable for Afghan forces to take the lead and within hours the UK Government followed that timeline. What changed on the ground in Afghanistan in that week for the UK Government policy to change so dramatically?
Nick Harvey (The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence; North Devon, Liberal Democrat)
There has been not been a dramatic shift of policy on the part of the US, ISAF or the UK Government. What the American Secretary made clear, as have the French, is that they will be accelerating the pace at which they hand to Afghanistan forces the lead responsibility, but there is no suggestion that the commitment of the ISAF countries is reducing or that the numbers are necessarily reducing. Simply, the speed at which the Afghan national security forces are developing is enabling them to take the lead more. The shift will therefore be more into a training, support and mentoring role, but that does not affect the overall strategy, and the Lisbon agreement among ISAF countries remains in place.

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps famers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

The FreshGirls members area is pretty straight forward to access once you have received your password just click the 'Members' link located on the free tour and enter your username and password and it takes about 2 seconds until you're ready to begin viewing. Inside the site you'll find the main page has a selection of links which lead to various different areas of the site including Videos, Pictures, Games, Feeds and Stories. I can also see on the main page some news about the site and it explains that recently a lot of new video feeds have been added to the members area for you to enjoy including Hustlers Barely Legal series which has over 300 movies.
After clicking around a bit and checking out a few of the different sections I can see they have got a fair few photo sets and videos available to see in here. But when it comes to viewing any of them it's a bit hit and miss and nothing is really in any sort of order or category. Clicking on the video link takes you through to a selection of amateur and other full length videos available to either stream or download but like I say you have to just work your way through the archives numbered from 1-10 etc, you're not given any categories. Inside each of the movie archives you'll find a good amount of full length DVD's featuring everything from amateurs to famous babes and also lots of featured Teen Girls, most of videos are hardcore featuring boy/girl, girl/girl and threesomes etc.
The quality varies a bit depending what area of the site you are trying to view. For example for some of the video feeds they have a low screen resolution and lose quality when you go full screen, but in other areas of the site the videos play nice and clear even at full screen. You can also access a number of photo sets featuring more fresh faced babes inside the Fresh Girls members area. The photos are all available to view hands free in a slide show as well as download in zip files.
Click here to visit Fresh Girls today!
Fresh Girls.tv does have quite a few picture sets and videos featuring younger babes getting fucked. But the navigation is quite poor and nothing is really categorised, so if you don't mind working your way through the videos 1 by 1 you'll still find plenty to see. There is also lots of Teen Babe video feeds as well as some erotic stories and adult games available to access with your membership. Visit Fresh Girls.

Frank Uehara watched as his neighbor, who had just returned from Japan, showed him a new piece of gear?an airsoft gun powered by springs and gas. Frank was intrigued as he held the pellet gun, and began to practice the sport. But as airsoft grew over the next 30 years and Frank continued to pursue it, he came to realize that many airsoft fields were unwieldy for first-time players and saw his chance to change that. At Action Pursuit Hawaii's outdoor field, he provides an easy introduction for first-time airsoft players while also welcoming competitors of all skill levels into challenging play. The facility?s safety officials remain on hand to oversee players who blast pellets at competitors and exchange witty Shakespearean taunts from behind the field?s giant tilted plastic columns and plywood barricades.
Marksmen weave in and out of buildings clustered on Kapolei Airsoft's barricade- and obstacle-littered fields, an expansive urban terrain that accommodates up to two indoor and outdoor bouts at a time. Under the watchful eye of trained field officials, participants clad in face protection commence contests that simulate military scenarios, urban combat, and armed square dancing. Before firing off 6mm BBs fashioned from ABS plastic at opposing teams, players run through safety instructions at pre-game briefings. Visitors can join new rounds of combat––lasting until midnight every Friday and Saturday––during walk-on contests, via membership outings, or through one of Kapolei Airsoft's party packages.
Paintball Hawaii's sprawling fields offer ample room for paintballers to battle. The speedball field's artificial turf provides safe padding for teams to dive or tumble. On the arena, masked players duck behind inflatable bunkers to evade their opponents' paint pellets. Off the fields, Paintball Hawaii offers repair and consignment services and custom orders.
At Brothers Paintball, sharpshooters aged 10 and older equip themselves with protective masks, multicolored paintballs, and semiautomatic markers before exchanging colorful crossfire on the field. Players avoid becoming a work of art by weaving in and out of trees, hiding in bunkers, and ducking for cover behind wooden planks and boxes. Some may also cross a 60-foot bridge suspended over a gully. In between matches, paint slingers can drink refreshments they've brought, lick their wounds, and brush elbows with the enemy at a table area. Spectators can also view combat in a sideline viewing area protected by a safety net that stretches the length of the field.
The largest paintball field on the island of Oahu, Island Paintball boasts a family-friendly environment that offers competitive games for paint launchers of all skill levels. With today's deal, artfully armed warriors can suit up in their best paintball gear or most invisible invisibility suit and beautify as many pigment-less adversaries as possible within Island Paintball's enormous wooded terrain. Stop by on Saturday or Sunday to go hand-to-hand with like-minded strangers who share your affinity for corporeal graffiti or grab a group of friends and try the speed-ball field for a fast, fun, exercise in teamwork.

The Raconteurs to release new DVD 'Live At Montreux'
The Raconteurs have announced details of a new live DVD, which is titled 'Live At Montreux'.
According to the band's official website, the film was recorded during their appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2008 and will be released on June 18.
In September last year, The Raconteurs' bassist Jack Lawrence admitted that he had no idea if the band would be recording new material in the future. "We're all doing other projects, still, so it's hard to tell what's going to happen," he said. "We never really plan anything; it just depends on what the mood is with all of us."
The Raconteurs, which also features Brendan Benson and Lawrence's bandmate in The Greenhornes Patrick Keeler, formed in 2005 and released their debut album 'Broken Boy Soldiers' the following year. Their second LP, 'Consolers Of The Lonely', followed in 2008.
Earlier this week, meanwhile, it was confirmed that Jack White will headline the Third Man Records showcase event at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The former White Stripes man will release his first solo LP 'Blunderbuss' on April 23 – scroll down to the bottom of the page to hear him play two tracks from the record, 'Love Interruption' and 'Sixteen Saltines', on US television show Saturday Night Live.
The singer will also return to the UK in the summer and will play at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend on June 23-24, alongside Lana Del Rey and The Maccabees.
The tracklisting for 'Live At Montreux' is as follows:
'Consoler Of The Lonely'
'Hold Up'
'You Don't Understand Me'
'Top Yourself'
'Old Enough'
'Keep It Clean'
'Intimate Secretary'
'Steady, As She Goes'
'The Switch and The Spur'
'Rich Kid Blues'
'Blue Veins'
'Many Shades of Black'
'Broken Boy Soldier'
'Salute Your Solution'
'Carolina Drama'
To learn more about Jack White's career, head to iTunes.com.apple.com/nme-icons, where you can purchase a special NME iPad app detailing the celebrated singer/guitarist/producer's past 15 years in rock'n'roll.
A one-off NME Icons special issue magazine dedicated to White is also available - see Backstreet-merch.com for details of how to purchase.

For me, my team's victory the other day in Arkham Horror made me realize how insane this game can truly be.
Long story short, we followed all rules for setup, and I randomly drew Michael for my investigator, something I can say I was pretty excited about. Our AO sadly was not Shub but rather good old Yog. All expansions except Miskatonic were in play, including all boards. In total we had 6 investigators, a pretty solid group and enough people to handle all situations that may arise. My random Unique Item was a bust however, as I was dealt a Crystal of the Elder Things. Not my best.
Game starts, nothing too exciting happening. I as Michael took care of monsters promptly as my ally traded me a Gladius of Carcosa early on, my Tommy Gun dealing with the rest. Most of the gate openings occurred on the main board, and we gathered clues and did what we needed to do. I entered a few gates to close some gates in case he did wake up, grabbing 2 total in the process. And then the fun happened…
Mythos comes up as the Rumor: The Terrible Experiment. I of course as Michael ended up dealing with that quite promptly as my PS gave me some extra Sanity, and I ended up at the end of the experiment collecting a total of 11 monster trophies (this of course including early game ones). And then it happened. I had an encounter coming near the end of the game and drew the spell "Call Ancient One." And then I started to think to myself…
With the way we were standing, there was very little chance we could survive the final fight. 4 seals on the board was nice, but with the end coming close and not many gate trophies (let alone very low average for Will values), I decided to cast the spell.
I spent my 2 gates, and 11 monsters, used my Crystal of the Elder Things to avoid losing 13 Sanity, and used my 3 clues to cast the spell. On the 2nd clue, I rolled a 6. Ding dong, 13 doom tokens gone on Yog and game over. Glorious.
Anyways, to spur more of the conversation, what is one of your guys' most epic wins?

Continuing the District's steadfast support for the immigrant community, the DC Council has voted unanimously to allow undocumented DC residents to obtain unmarked standard drivers licenses. As a member of the DC Immigrant Rights Coalition working with immigrant families in support of the legislation, LEDC applauds the decision.
The Council voted to amend legislation introduced by DC Mayor Vincent Gray that would have marked driver's licenses for undocumented residents as not valid for federal purposes. Council members David Catania, Jim Graham, and David Grosso voiced significant opposition to an amendment offered by Councilmember Vincent Orange to reintroduce the Mayor's original language.
"I have seen a lot of suffering in my community and it's time to have equal rights and respect for everyone," said Paula Vasquez, a Mexican immigrant with three children. "I will benefit by being able to open a bank account and drive a car with rights, and the police won't be able to stop me."
A final vote on the measure will take place in September.

Cover Girl
I don't know if y'all have seen this but it's pretty fantastic. Of all the fabrics in all the world, Hancock's of Paducah chose my little infestation of many legged and tiny winged friends to grace the cover of their massive catalog. I have it sitting on my coffee table and am greeted with my own glorious vanity every morning. I couldn't think of anything better except maybe the cover of Selvedge under the headline "Most promising light weight cotton/quilting fabric designer of the 21st Century." Hey, a girl can dream can't she? Besides, too much too soon can give a girl a tummy ache. I should know, I just got back from the movies and I have a clump of Gummy Bears sitting like a brick in my mid region. But you don't come here to read about my candy exploits, do you?

This rich body cream contains some helpful emollients and oils for dry skin. Some of the plant oils confer antioxidant benefit, but they won't remain potent for long due to the wide-mouth jar packaging the company chose. This is an OK, but overly fragranced, option for dry skin; but why settle for OK when your skin deserves outstanding? All told, this body cream deprives skin of the critical elements it needs to successfully repair its barrier function and become healthier. It's also highly fragranced, but fragrance isn't skin care (what pleases your nose rarely makes your skin happy, too).

There has been an intense amount of curiosity about this line, clearly correlated with the amount of attention it's been garnering in fashion magazines along with the generous comments from several celebrities as it being their favorite. Of course, the preeminent hook is that Carol's Daughter is yet another line whose emphasis is on natural ingredients.
As the story goes the Carol's Daughter line was created by Lisa Price, who began mixing her own moisturizers at home in the early 1990s. She gave them to friends and family as gifts and, before too long, the brand launched as a mail order business with ensuing pomp and circumstance, and eventual distribution in Sephora and in major department stores.
Regardless of celebrity endorsements, what counts is whether or not the products contain ingredients that are helpful for your skin. Once you put the hype and marketing lingo aside you can get a clear picture of what is real and what is nonsense. It turns out that even though Carol's Daughter includes plenty of natural ingredients, it also has a fair share of synthetic ingredients, including preservatives, synthetic vitamins, triethanalomine, detergent cleansing agents, polyethylene glycol, and thickeners. What is particularly disappointing is that many of the natural ingredients are potent skin irritants, while the rest have little to no proven benefit for skin beyond folklore or anecdotal claims.
State-of-the-art ingredients and formulas are lacking; instead, fragrance reigns supreme, playing a central role in every Carol's Daughter product. This vast line has repetitive formulations with little rhyme or reason for their existence other than creating a product with a new name, label, and fragrance. The body-care products have the same basic formulas between sub-brands, with the only notable difference being a change in fragrance. Sweet, citrusy, or musky fragrances waft from these products like steam from a hot apple pie, but that's actually bad news for your skin.
Women often assume that the risk to skin from fragrance in skin-care products applies only to synthetic fragrance "chemicals" and not to fragrant plant extracts and oils, but that is absolutely not the case. Regardless of the source, most fragrances, natural or synthetic, can cause problems for skin, including damaging the skin barrier and breaking down collagen (Sources: Chemical Research in Toxicology, January 2008, pages 53–69; British Journal of Dermatology, August 2007, pages 295–300; Contact Dermatitis, July 2007, pages 1–10; Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, December 2006, pages 349–354; American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, April 2003, pages 789–798).
One other marketing angle this brand asserts deserves mention. The company insists that all of their products are made by hand (reminiscent of Kiehl's original claims before they were bought by L'Oreal). We're not disputing the love portion of that claim (though once you get the product home, love has nothing to with efficacy), but the handmade part is completely irrelevant. First, technically, all cosmetics are made by hand, because robots aren't doing the work. It is ludicrous to imagine that Carol's Daughter products are being batched up in some way that's different from a million other products from hundreds of other companies. How would that work for thousands of pounds of one product anyway? Hopefully, all cosmetics are being made in labs and manufacturing facilities that meet FDA standards for controls over the purity of the water and product contamination, to name just a few issues, and given that humans are doing the work, that counts for being made by hand as well.
As for the products themselves, they are, in many respects, a giant step backward in quality of formulation. The homemade, fresh-from-the-kitchen story is indeed sweet, but current science and research is what you want for your skin. Just like you wouldn't use a 10- or 15-year-old computer, given what we now know skin needs you would be trading good skin care for folklore and homespun tales. Carol's Daughter's formulas are more like using products from the 1950s than anything else. The packaging is as basic as it gets, the facial-care and most of the body-care products are loaded with irritants, and the hair-care products are mostly an oily, greasy mess that perpetuates the idea that African-American hair needs to be greased up or oiled down for it to be manageable. This company didn't even get sunscreen right.

Riffs: Grammys 2011 -- 5 artists who were robbed
The Grammys aren't as embarrassing as they used to be. Remember when Rod Stewart, Paul Simon, Sheryl Crow and Steely Dan would be nominated for just about anything? Or the year Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for Best Metal Performance? Good times!
None of the artists left out of this year's nominations have suffered a historic indignity comparable to, say, Elvis Costello's Best New Artist loss (we hardly knew ye, long-forgotten disco band A Taste of Honey). But still. Here are five artists who got snubbed..
1. Sade
Should have been nominated for: Album of the Year, Best R&B Album
Why she deserved a nod: Her comeback disc, "Soldier of Love" was one of the year's best.
Why she got might have been snubbed: It may be a simple case of out of sight, out of mind. "Soldier" came out last winter, and she didn't do much to promote it.
2. Big Boi
Should have been nominated for: Best Rap Album
Why he deserved a nod: His "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty" was a work of unfettered awesomeness.
Why he might have been snubbed: "Sir Lucious" underperformed commercially, something that really matters to Grammy voters. Also, voters may have him mixed up with Cee Lo, the other African-American hipster who's also a member of a beloved duo.
3. Florence and the Machine
Should have been nominated for: Record of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group, Best Pop Vocal Album
Why they deserved a nod: Their nomination in the barely-credible Best New Artist category was nice, but where is the love for "Dog Days Are Over"?
Why they might have been snubbed: "Dog Days" was originally released in 2008 and re-released this spring; those pesky Grammy eligibility rules might be to blame. Honestly, we can't think of another reason.
(It's a bad year for the ladies. At least, some of them. Rihanna and more, after the jump.)
4. Rihanna
Should have been nominated for: Best R&B or Pop Album, Best R&B Song ("Rude Boy")
Why she deserved a nod: She didn't, necessarily -- "Rated R" was not a great album. But glamorous, multi-genre artists like Rihanna are usually Grammy catnip. She wasn't shut out, but we expected more.
Why she might have been snubbed: It could be timing-"Rated R" came out too long ago to be remembered, and her new disc, "Loud," came out too late to qualify. It's probably not a quality issue -- Grammy voters' standards are traditionally not very high (witness Katy Perry's four nominations). This one's a mystery.
5. Nicki Minaj
Should have been nominated for: Best Rap Solo Performance ("Your Love")
Why she deserved a nod: She's one of the best, most provocative MCs around, with a game changer of a debut, "Pink Friday."
Why she might have been snubbed: Voters may not have cottoned to Minaj's expletive-laced hip-hop (possible, though they did nominate Cee Lo's "[Expletive] You"), though Grammy eligibility requirements might again be at fault. Maybe 2012 will be her year.

In 1977, career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their mission to give every child the best education possible is still going strong. They use an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student?s particular needs. Due to their success in helping K?12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills, there are currently 260 Huntington franchises open nationwide.
The certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child?s skills, academic needs and potential for growth. Tutors note student response to different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child?s learning style. Teachers adhere to the company?s code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality, encouraging students to improve grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.
Childcare and tutoring. For busy families and working professionals, this bundle of services can solve a lot of problems. College Nannies and Tutors takes on the task of hiring and placing qualified nannies and baby sitters with families, eliminating the hassle of extensive research and interviewing. When those babies and kiddies get big enough to study, they can call on a team of tutors to make learning engaging and fun. With one-on-one mentoring, the agency uses clearly structured programs to help students reach their full potential. They tutor all ages and all subjects, and can ready pupils for standardized tests such as SATs.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studio, which was cofounded by the legendary dancer himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form using their expert eyes. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.
At Kids U, upbeat instructors camouflage learning as playtime. They invite youngsters and parents into a kid-size gym that jump starts imagination with vibrant colors and a multitiered PlayQuad. The 17-foot playground spans 2,000 square feet of indoor space, where children explore tunnels and soar in swings. At classes, teachers inject freestyle play with structure while still allowing for creativity. The small, laid-back sessions cover subjects that range from gymnastics to cooking and building with LEGOs, all while interweaving themes such as teamwork and motor skills. The instructors pioneer similar subjects in three-hour day camps, molded around the Summer Olympics. Kids U's parties combine the fun center's two signature styles of recreation—freestyle fun in the PlayQuad and ordered activities—according to chosen themes, which, like concepts kicked around for the White House Correspondents' dinner, include Rock Star and Pajama Party.
Believing that learning and behavioral disorders stem from improper communication between brain hemispheres, Brain Balance Centers offers a drug-free, multi-faceted system to boost brain function. Physical and cognitive exercises combine with easy-to-follow dietary changes to improve social, academic and behavioral issues associated with ADHD, Asperger's, and other social and learning disorders without the use of medication. Now more than 50 Brain Balance Centers practice this Hemispheric Integration Therapy, with professional teams tailoring programs to help kids improve focus and behavior, academic performance, communication, and social skills.
Aloha Mind Math, developed by Loh Mun Sung in Malaysia in 1993, harnesses the abacus to help students learn mental arithmetic. Through hands-on classes taught by trained teachers, students learn problem-solving skills with the help of the abacus and their ever-expanding minds. The results: higher test scores, increased confidence, and burgeoning friendships with Count von Count.

October 21, 2011, 3:45 AM EDT
By James G. Neuger and Tony Czuczka
(Updates with Obama call in penultimate paragraph. For more on Europe's
debt crisis, see EXT4.)
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- European governments may unleash as much as 940
billion euros ($1.3 trillion) to fight the debt crisis, seeking to break a
deadlock between Germany and France that is forcing leaders to hold two
summits within four days.
Negotiations on combining the European Union's temporary and planned
permanent rescue funds as of mid-2012, while scrapping a ceiling on
bailout spending, accelerated this week after efforts to leverage the
temporary fund ran into European Central Bank opposition and provoked the
French-German clash, two people familiar with the discussions said. They
declined to be identified because political leaders will have to decide.
The option may be one way out of the impasse between Europe's two biggest
economies as President Barack Obama presses for them to find a solution.
Finance ministers meet in Brussels today from about 2 p.m. to lay the
groundwork for an Oct. 23 meeting of government leaders that had been the
deadline for a solution to the debt crisis. A summit for Oct. 26 was set
yesterday after Germany and France said the EU needs more time to seal a
"global and ambitious" accord.
"The market wants the euro crisis solved yesterday, and the politicians
and finance ministries seem to be saying `yes we can, but no we won't,'"
Chris Rupkey, an economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., said in
an e-mail. "Europe has the wealth to deal with Greece, it is just that the
process is incredibly complex."
Disclosure of the dual-use option helped reverse declines in U.S. stocks
and the euro yesterday. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index added 1 percent, led by
banks, at 9:20 a.m. in Brussels.
Greek Vote
In Greece, Prime Minister George Papandreou won a parliamentary vote late
yesterday on further austerity measures to secure more aid under the 2010
bailout. As hooded protesters threw rocks and battled riot police outside
the parliament in Athens, one man died of heart failure after a rock hit
him on the head, the government said.
EU officials weighing deeper losses for Greek bondholders in a revamped
bailout are concerned that any investor involvement risks further roiling
markets, say people familiar with the deliberations.
Greece has accumulated at least 20 billion euros in additional financing
needs since a 159 billion-euro package was set in July, because of a
deepening recession and delays in enacting the plan, said the people, who
declined to be identified because leaders have yet to agree on their
Debt Options
The EU is considering five scenarios, ranging from sticking with July's
voluntary swap to a so-called hard restructuring, where investors could be
forced to exchange Greek bonds for new ones at 50 percent of their value,
the people said.
Greek two-year notes currently trade at less than 40 percent of face
The 440 billion-euro European Financial Stability Facility has already
spent or committed about 160 billion euros, including loans to Greece that
will run for up to 30 years. Instead of replacing it with the European
Stability Mechanism, which will hold 500 billion euros, in mid-2013, a
consensus is emerging on merging the two funds, the people said.
The ESM will operate with paid-in capital as opposed to the EFSF, which
sells bonds guaranteed by governments.
The 500 billion-euro total was deemed sufficient when Greece, Ireland and
Portugal were the primary victims of the debt crisis. Widening bond
spreads in Italy, Spain, Belgium and France upended that calculation.
Credit Lines
Standard & Poor's said France is among euro-region sovereigns likely to be
downgraded in a stressed economic scenario. The sovereign ratings of
Spain, Italy, Ireland and Portugal would also be reduced by another one or
two levels in either of New York-based S&P's two stress scenarios, it said
in a report.
The EFSF may be authorized to provide credit lines of as much as 10
percent of a country's economy, according to a proposal prepared for this
week's meetings. By that measure, credit lines for Spain and Italy,
countries that required ECB support, could reach 270 billion euros ($371
"EFSF will need to be leveraged up," Lael Brainard, the U.S. Treasury's
undersecretary for international affairs, said to a Senate subcommittee
yesterday in Washington.
Germany and France, the euro region's biggest financial backers, are at
odds over how to do that. The fund's tasks include recapitalization of
banks and buying bonds in primary and secondary markets.
Franco-German Dispute
France favors creating a bank out of the EFSF, boosting its financial
clout with backing from the ECB, a proposal that Germany rejects, Finance
Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told lawmakers in Berlin this week. French
Prime Minister Francois Fillon said yesterday that the euro region should
agree to use leverage to make the fund "massive."
The focus on the lending ceiling came after central bankers ruled out
giving the EFSF a banking license, blocking the most potent option for
scaling it up. France has pushed Germany to go beyond a less powerful,
ECB-backed option of using it to insure 20 percent to 30 percent of new
bond issues.
Still, the 280 billion euros left in the EFSF cannot be wholly committed
to bond insurance, since that would drain the fund to zero, the people
said. Instead, finance ministers are likely to decide on the use of the
EFSF's instruments on a case- by-case basis, the people said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy face
growing pressure from the U.S. and other global partners to end the
wrangling. Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron discussed the
debt crisis with Merkel and Sarkozy yesterday on a call.
"Chancellor Merkel and President Sarkozy fully understand the urgency of
the issues in the Eurozone," a White House statement said. The two plan to
meet one-on-one in Brussels tomorrow on the eve of the first summit.

Arena and Stadium Wi-Fi
Apr 10, 2014 11:39 AM
Creating the fan experience
Chuck Lukaszewski, Sr. Director of Engineering, Aruba Networks
Are most arenas and stadiums using Wi-Fi to enhance the fan experience? Or do they also use the network to support internal applications, such as getting content to digital signage and connectivity for point-of-sale terminals? What are the pros and cons of piggybacking internal applications on the Wi-Fi network?
Fans want an immersive experience, whether they are viewing at the stadium or at home and the availability (or not) of this impacts where they will watch the game. Most recent Aruba stadium and arena deployments are using the Wi-Fi primarily to enhance the fan experience and improve the retention of fans to live events to compete more effectively with the home viewing experience and deliver the best live experience. They are leveraging stable Wi-Fi networks to deliver video to the fans in their seat so that they can access on-demand instant replays or other in-game footage as well as look up relevant statistics on the teams and players. Mobile engagement apps that integrate with the Wi-Fi systems and enable location-based notifications and directions are being deployed and made available for fans to be able to place concessions orders from the comfort of their seat as well as for locating facilities such as the nearest restrooms, exits and fan club stores. This enables the facility operators to deliver a better experience for the fan while also being able to attract higher revenues from attendees. Mobile engagement and stable Wi-Fi have become critical to getting fans to attend live events, rather than watch from home.
Most stadiums/arenas also use the network to simultaneously support internal applications including point-of-sale and stadium operations (ticket scanning, communications, press photo transfer). This approach can result in significant cost savings as it eliminates the need to deploy and support two networks. The challenge with this approach is that the network and equipment must be designed and configured to ensure security as well as deliver Quality of Service (QoS) for business-critical applications.
Therefore, when our partners work with stadium/arena customers to design their networks, one of the key considerations is identifying the user roles (fan, press, business-operations), then applying the appropriate security policies and segregating the traffic, based on those roles. The IT organizations configure their Wi-Fi systems to deliver QoS priority to the most business-critical applications such as point-of-sale and communications.
What kinds of RF issues are there in arenas and stadiums? For example, are there unexpected sources of interference, such as the personal Wi-Fi hotspots that some fans bring to games, or microwaves in the concession areas? How do you deal with those? What about extending coverage to the middle of the playing surface for times when the facility is used for concerts, tradeshows, and other non-game events?
Wi-Fi operates in unlicensed frequencies in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. Because the bands are unlicensed, anyone can use them so they are popular for delivering many types of services from video cameras to Bluetooth headsets to coach communication systems to wireless microphones used in concerts. These are non-Wi-Fi sources. And individuals with smartphones that forget to disable their Wi-Fi hotspot mode also contribute to interference to a degree.
Stadiums continuously monitor the air with spectrum analyzers, either dedicated analyzers or select Wi-Fi AP's that have built-in spectrum analysis to identify non-Wi-Fi interfering sources and work to eliminate them. This can be relatively simple, as in the case of a fixed wireless continuously transmitting camera where it can be moved to a better channel. Or it can be difficult for mobile sources that do not transmit on a regular basis. It's a constant effort requiring continuous surveillance and remediation. Fortunately, some Wi-Fi management systems have integrated spectrum, reporting capabilities that can proactively inform the administrators of new interference sources so they don't need to perform continuous manual checks.
Mi-Fi device interference varies by night. In general there is very little that can be done to mitigate it from the Wi-Fi infrastructure. The long-term solution here is for carriers to work with their handset vendors to come up with ways to disable Mi-Fi functionality when they are inside a high-density environment being served by a cellular DAS and a controller-based Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Regarding extending coverage to the middle of the playing surface for times when the facility is used for concerts, tradeshows and other non-game events, this is typically done with specially located APs at the field wall for an outdoor venue, or from overhead catwalks in indoor arenas.
If a venue operator or franchise is getting ready to implement facility-wide Wi-Fi, what could or should it put in the RFP to make the infrastructure as flexible and future-proof as possible? For example, should they deploy 802.11ac?
In general, all new stadium Wi-Fi networks should be leveraging the latest AP models including 802.11ac. One of the most important reasons for this is the increased CPU and memory capacity of next-generation APs. This actually allows them to handle more non-11ac traffic than previous generations. So even if client populations are not yet 11ac, a venue owner can realize an immediate performance gain with current devices. In the future, as the market transitions to 11ac devices, having 11ac APs in place allows each device to complete data transfers more quickly. This allows the network to support more users and provide more overall capacity.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds News Release -- www.riverhounds.com
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Riverhounds have signed forward Jose Angulo and midfielder Matthew Dallman each to new, two-year contracts, it was announced today by CEO Jason Kutney. The club also announced that Terry "Tuffy" Shallenberger has expanded his role in the Pittsburgh soccer landscape by becoming majority owner of Highmark Stadium at Station Square in Pittsburgh.
"Re-signing a player with Jose's abilities is just a small glimpse into the positive direction this club is headed," said head coach Justin Evans. "In past years, we would lose a player with Jose's stats to an MLS team or even another team within our own league, and I'm very happy that we were able to keep him in Riverhounds colors."
Angulo joined the Riverhounds for the 2013 campaign and had a standout season as he led the league with 34 points and finished tied for the league lead with 15 goals while adding four assists. The first player to score at the new Highmark Stadium, Angulo had a role in more than half the Riverhounds' 36 regular-season goals as he led the side to the USL PRO Playoffs.
Angulo was ably assisted by Dallman, who in his first full season with the Riverhounds led USL PRO with 12 assists, which established a new league record. After four appearances with the Riverhounds in 2012, Dallman wasted no time making his mark in 2013, as he connected with Angulo to set up the first goal in Highmark Stadium history on April 13, 2013 against the Harrisburg City Islanders. Evans said he felt that was a sign of what was to come.
With the signings of Dallman and league MVP Jose Angulo to contract extensions today, the Riverhounds have solidified their one-two punch for the 2014 season and beyond.
"We look to put a winning team on the field this year, with some major players on our roster, and we'll be upgrading and expanding the facility to add to the total soccer experience,' Shallenberger said. "It's going to be a great season, and a lot of exciting things will be happening at Highmark Stadium."
Shallenberger is dedicated to seeing soccer flourish in southwestern Pennsylvania, investing in youth soccer programs and training facilities. After acquiring majority ownership of the Riverhounds, Shallenberger expanded the Riverhounds youth academy training program to include the The Riverhounds Academy in Connellsville. The indoor facility, located in Scottdale, includes a new synthetic turf soccer field for year-round training. Shallenberger has also constructed outdoor soccer fields for youth games and training in Connellsville to encourage more youth participation in the sport.

Algeria thwarts arms smuggling across Libya border
By Walid Ramzi for Magharebia in Algiers – 21/09/12
Algerian security forces are struggling to cope with arms smuggling gangs that have stepped up their operations along the southern border, prompting the Algerian army to intensify its presence across some rugged border crossings currently exploited by smugglers.
Forces from the People's National Army in the border area adjacent to Libya recently succeeded in confiscating 32 weapons and 14,000 rounds of ammunition in one operation near Karat Alain, south of Djanet in the province of Illizi. The September 12th operation was part of a search along the desert border frequently used by smugglers and terrorists seeking to transfer weapons.
ANP troops arrested three members of the gang, including a Libyan national, while another smuggler was wounded by gunshots.
This operation was prompted when Algerian security forces noted the movement of a number of SUVs coming from the south of Libya, which they then ambushed. An assessment of the weapons revealed that they were smuggled from the stockpiles of the Libyan army and intended to be handed over in the Tazrouk district of Tamanrasset to smuggling gangs and drug dealers.
The Algerian army has stepped up patrols in the south recently. Its units are now equipped with powerful and sophisticated monitoring devices, allowing them to cover wider regions. This capability allows the army, as in this operation, to monitor a region extending about 260 kilometres from Djanet.
In recent months, Algerian security forces have succeeded in thwarting several operations intended to smuggle weapons, including the smuggling of Katyusha rockets, machine guns and different types of ammunition. Security forces discovered weapons caches along the border in places used by smugglers to hide contraband in order to avoid falling prey to security patrols.
Security forces stationed in Tamanrasset and Illizi, bordering Libya, Niger and Mali, have seized 104 weapons in the last ten months alone.
Fifty per cent of the seized weapons were hunting rifles, and the rest included heavy arms that terrorists tried to get from the stockpiles of the former Libyan regime. Some also originated with arms dealers who took advantage of the Libyan revolution to smuggle large quantities of weapons into neighbouring countries.
Intelligence services, in investigations carried out during the last month, uncovered a plan by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb for a large operation of smuggling weapons obtained from Libya to be transferred to the Algerian desert, passing through the desert of Mali and Niger. The operation was supposed to pass the guns through smugglers who would then bury the weapons in marked locations in the desert for later use by terrorists against security the Algerian government in the south.
Authorities in Algeria are also forming special units to comb desert pathways that terrorists and smugglers have used to hide weapons smuggled from Libya. A number of unmanned Algerian planes and jets equipped with thermal detection and night observation devices have been deployed along the border with Mali and Niger, as well as the eastern border with Libya.
Security forces are considering establishing surveillance systems and electronic alarms along the borders with countries that have a troubled security situation. This deployment is intended to reduce the security threats along borders with Libya and also with northern Mali, under control of jihadist groups. The defence and interior ministries formed a working group at the end of 2011 to study the project.

I don't see the interest in always criticising the government. If you think that the leaders are all underdeveloped, then that's because the people too are underdeveloped! Just look at our streets, or goals, and our results to see this! So, thank you, leaders, for also protecting the Algerian territory. The are doing a super job. And it's also time for the underdeveloped among the people to get to serious work so that the country becomes a bit more modern in every way! It's a little too easy to spit on the leaders everyday!!!
is maghrebia.com the mouthpiece of the current junta in algiers ... i wouldnt be surprised
Inch' Allah Algeria will be completely overwhelmed by smuggled weapons including UAV's ect ... Cos sooner (or later) the Puppet Military Dictatorship in Algiers at the behest of their masters (French Military Intelligence service) will face their own day of reckoning, The people will prevail, but the french have to prop up the current dirt in Algiers in order to protect their energy supply and what they foolishly see as "stability" (the french are notorious shortsighted peasants, their colonial record speaks volume, Tragically Algeria is somehow a very poor photocopy of that peasant system: the scourge of french legacy) No Tinpot Banana Client State has EVER stood the test of time, Algeria will be no exception, mark my word, those weapons will kickstart the unavoidable in good time
gooooooooooooooooo for long time
Good evening to the entire team – I have no comment to make today. I will make one in good time. Nevertheless, I must say that I am very satisfied with the content of your messages. They are practically theses, which have the merit of providing the main news about the countries of the Maghreb. I sincerely congratulate you and hope you persevere in achieving your objectives. - Cordially
It is strange how often we hear this song, but a verdict was never issued for these so-called terrorists, who were attacked by the Algerian army. Pretending that this hoax is true, they should have done this earlier, back when they were willingly letting all sorts of smugglers, weapons, terrorists and the Polisario go through! Now, the harm is already done and our Malian friends did not deserve this.
