Conner leads Pitt to narrow win against Bowling Green in Pizza Bowl
DETROIT (AP) -- James Conner surpassed Tony Dorsett in the Pittsburgh record book -- and that's not all.
The freshman running back also played a few snaps on the defensive line.
"Coach told me they wanted to unleash me on both sides of the ball, so I've been getting a lot of reps both ways," Conner said. "I was pretty tired by the end, but I wasn't going to tap out. They kept giving me the ball, so I just kept running."
Conner rushed for 229 yards, and fellow freshman Tyler Boyd caught eight passes for 173 yards in Pitt's 30-27 victory over Bowling Green on Thursday night in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Conner broke Dorsett's school record for yards rushing in a bowl. Boyd set the receiving mark for the Panthers -- and also scored on a punt return.
Chris Blewitt kicked a tiebreaking field goal with 1:17 remaining.
"They were without question the most physical team we faced all season," said Adam Scheier, Bowling Green's interim coach. "The offensive line was tough, the running back was obviously a bear to tackle and the whole defensive line was disruptive."
Scheier took over after Wake Forest hired coach Dave Clawson away from the Falcons. Scheier coached the bowl, but now Dino Babers takes over.
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Conner rushed for 165 yards in the second half, helping Pitt overcome the loss of quarterback Tom Savage, who didn't play after halftime because of a rib injury. Conner and the Panthers drove 51 yards in seven plays late in the fourth quarter to set up a 39-yard kick by Blewitt, who had missed from the same distance earlier.
Then Conner was back on the field on defense, helping the Panthers protect the lead.
Boyd gave Pitt (7-6) a boost with his versatility as well.
"We obviously have some great young talent and that's why we are so confident about the future of this program," Pitt coach Paul Chryst said. "We think we're in great shape going forward."
One star the Panthers will have to replace is Aaron Donald, their All-American on the defensive line. Donald, a senior, helped thwart any last-ditch comeback with a sack deep in Bowling Green territory in the final minute.
Dorsett rushed for 202 yards in Pitt's win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1977. The school's receiving record for a bowl came the next season, when Gordon Jones had 163 yards in a Gator Bowl win over Clemson.
Both marks fell Thursday, courtesy of Conner and Boyd.
Chad Voytik relieved Savage and put Pitt ahead 27-20 with a 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, but the Falcons -- who upset Northern Illinois in Detroit in the Mid-American Conference title game earlier this month -- tied it on Matt Johnson's 15-yard strike to Ryan Burbrink with 4:42 to play.
Poinsettia Bowl
Utah St. 21 No. 24 Northern Illinois 14
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Brian Suite intercepted Jordan Lynch's pass and recovered a fumble by the Heisman Trophy finalist to help Utah State beat No. 24 Northern Illinois 21-14 on Thursday night in the Poinsettia Bowl.
Joey DeMartino, who went to high school and junior college in San Diego, carried 23 times for 143 yards and a touchdown for Utah State (9-5).
Lynch, who was third in the Heisman Trophy voting and made The Associated Press All-America team as an all-purpose player, had a rough end to his college career. Besides the two turnovers, he was held to just 39 yards rushing, keeping him from becoming the first major college player to rush for 2,000 yards and pass for 2,000 yards in the same season.
Lynch ran for a touchdown and passed for another for NIU (12-2).

VATICAN CITY (AP) — His decision to resign may have come as a surprise to many -- but in fact, Pope Benedict laid the groundwork for today's decision years ago, when he said popes have the obligation to resign if they can't carry on.
And to many, his decision was perfectly in keeping with a man who had dedicated his life to the church while acknowledging that it needed new blood to confront the future.
When he was elected the 265th leader of the Church in April of 2005, Benedict -- at 78 -- was the oldest pope elected in 275 years, and the first German pope in nearly 1,000 years.
Benedict always cast himself as the reluctant pope -- a shy bookworm who preferred solitary walks in the Alps to the public glare and the Vatican pageantry. But once in office, he never shied from charting the Catholic Church on the course he thought it needed.
The German theologian set out to reawaken Christianity in a secularized Europe. But he grew increasingly frail -- even as he dealt with the fallout from a sex abuse scandal that had festered under Pope John Paul II and became the church's biggest crisis in decades.
He also faced a betrayal from one of his closest aides. Benedict's own butler was convicted of stealing the pontiff's personal papers and giving them to a journalist.

Come join us in Italy for two weeks of full immersion in mosaics!
This stimulating mix of hands-on followed by a week of touring the best mosaic sites and studios in Northern Italy will leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of both traditional mosaics and contemporary mosaic expression.
Your hosts, teachers and guides are Stephanie Jurs of Twin Dolphin Mosaics, and Arianna Gallo and Luca Barberini of Kokomosaico.
Arianna and Luca have been teaching traditional mosaics for years and have worked in or with most of the Ravenna studios; Stephanie has been making broken tile mosaics, as one-half of Twin Dolphin Mosaics, for almost twenty years and guiding trips in Italy for seven. Working and travelling with us you'll get a perspective on Italy and mosaics (both ancient and contemporary) that's pretty unique.
We'll visit some private studios and see some mosaic sites that we know about just because we live here, that aren't in any guide books.
We'll all meet up Sunday evening in Ravenna for a welcome aperitivo and a delicious dinner of local specialities.
The first five days are spent at Kokomosaico, learning the traditional methods used for both Roman and Byzantine mosaics. After an introduction to the history of mosaics and a visit to Ravenna's world-famous monuments, you'll make two mosaics of your own under the expert tutelage of Arianna and Luca.
You'll learn to cut marble and glass into tiny tessere, and using the double reverse method you'll make a copy of a fragment of an ancient mosaic. Next you'll design your own mosaic pattern and execute it using the direct method. Both pieces will be finished by the end of the week and you can take with, or ship them home. (For advanced mosaicists, there are numerous other topics and techniques to explore.)
Then with Stephanie, an American mosaicist who has been living in Ravenna for over ten years, you'll begin a week-long tour of some of the finest mosaic sites northern Italy has to offer. In Ravenna itself and nearby we find mosaics ranging from the first century AD, through naive and soulful medieval mosaics, right up to present-day expression.
On Sunday we take off for Pomposa, with the remains of the 11th century Benedictine monastery whose church floor writhes with mosaic animals and geometric patterns.
During the week we visit Spilimbergo, home to a lively community of mosaicists whose mosaic philosophy differs sharply from that of Ravenna's; Aquileia, northern Italy's most important archeological site with a Basilica literally carpeted with early Christian mosaics; and Venice, where we'll span the centuries admiring the mosaics of St Mark's, the 11th century mosaics on the island of Torcello, and the splendour of the Orsoni glass and gold factory.
Specifics: This is a custom course/tour. With a maximum of seven participants, the course/tour begins in Ravenna and ends in Venice and runs from Sunday to the Saturday two weeks later, 14 days/13 nights.
The cost includes a welcome aperitivo and dinner Sunday night, the five day (40 hours) mosaic workshop and all materials, accommodation in Ravenna (breakfast included) through Saturday night, accommodation in Spilimbergo and Venice, breakfasts, transfers/transport/car, museum entries and guided visits, studio visits, and a farewell dinner in Venice.
Price assumes hotel room double occupancy. Supplement of $250 for single rooms (unfortunately, single rooms are not just ½ price of a double. You can ask to share with another student, to make a double.)
To keep costs down most dinners are 'free' dinners. In Ravenna we orient you to nearby excellent restaurants; during the tour we eat together but just order off the menu. This way one can eat as much or as little as one wants, or even skip a meal; each night will take us to a different restaurant with a different atmosphere. Lunch we do on our own, often buying picnic supplies, or maybe stopping at a small local trattoria or bar/café.
Price does not cover: 'free' dinners, lunches, and transport to and from our initial/ending meeting spots, shipping your mosaics home (if you do not take them with you), personal expenditures, etc.
For more information and details, contact Stephanie at firstname.lastname@example.com

No-frills conversions
Convert and resize images with this basic tool.
We frequently find ourselves needing to convert or resize images to e-mail to friends, post on blogs, or share on social networking Web sites. All the full-featured images editing programs can take care of these tasks, but we're sure we're not the only ones who don't want to launch a huge program for such a simple job. Kigo Image Converter is a lightweight program that makes quick work of image conversion and resizing, and offers a few extra features to boot.
The program's interface is plain and intuitive, and we had no trouble figuring out how to get started. Users simply select the image or images they want to work with, adjust the settings, and click Convert. Kigo Image Converter can convert images between the BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIF, PCX, TGA, J2K, and JPC formats. Users can also resize images, either by entering a size factor (.5, for example, resizes the images to 50 percent of its original size) or by entering the desired width and height. Kigo Image Converter also supports the addition of watermarks, either text or image, making it easy to protect batches of images from sticky-fingered viewers. The program's built-in Help file is brief but adequate. Overall, Kigo Image Converter didn't offer anything that we hadn't seen in numerous other image conversion programs, but it is a good choice for users looking for an effective, no-frills ways to convert and resize images.
Kigo Image Converter installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

Refusal to obey government demands or commands and nonresistance to consequent arrest and punishment. It is used especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing government concessions and has been a major tactic of nationalist movements in Africa and India, of the U.S. civil rights movement, and of labour and antiwar movements in many countries. Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. The civil disobedient, finding legitimate avenues of change blocked or nonexistent, sees himself as obligated by a higher, extralegal principle to break some specific law. By submitting to punishment, the civil disobedient hopes to set a moral example that will provoke the majority or the government into effecting meaningful political, social, or economic change. The philosophical roots of civil disobedience lie deep in Western thought. Cicero, Thomas Aquinas, and John Locke, among others, appealed to systems of natural law that take precedence over the laws created by communities or states (positive law). More modern advocates and practitioners of civil disobedience include Henry David Thoreau, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Clandestine groups opposed to Nazi rule in German-occupied Europe in World War II. The groups included civilians who worked secretly against the occupation and armed bands of partisans or guerrilla fighters. Resistance activities ranged from assisting the escape of Jews and Allied airmen shot down over enemy territory to committing sabotage, ambushing German patrols, and sending intelligence information to the Allies. Resistance groups were not always unified; in some countries, rival groups divided along communist and noncommunist lines. However, in France the clandestine National Council of the Resistance coordinated all French groups, which gave support to the Normandy Campaign and participated in the August 1944 uprising that helped liberate Paris. Resistance groups in other northern European countries also undertook military actions to help the Allied forces in 1944–45.

He is also a member of and volunteer with respect to a number of youth sports organizations and the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley.
Bruce Copeland is the team leader of the firm's Beverage Alcohol practice. He represents and counsels a variety of businesses with respect to complex commercial litigation in federal and state court litigation, litigation avoidance and in a broad range of areas in the beverage alcohol industry.
I focus my practice on three main areas—unfair competition and trade practices, beverage alcohol and commercial litigation—leveraging more than 25 years of experience to help clients manage their most complex and sensitive matters.
I represent a variety of businesses in commercial litigation, with a focus on unfair competition, unfair trade practices and trade secret matters, ranging from technology companies and financial institutions pursuing competitors and individuals for unfair competition and theft of trade secrets, to a large producer of premium wine defending against claims of false advertising, to companies requiring counseling regarding front-end protection of trade secrets and avoidance of unfair competition claims.
I chair the firm's Beverage Alcohol practice and advise suppliers, importers, wholesalers and retailers in the wine, malt beverage and spirits industries in litigation, transactional and regulatory matters at both the federal and state levels, most notably a publicly held company that produces premium wine and beer, and a number of leading craft brewers.
I also represent a variety of clients in commercial litigation, with a focus on complex business disputes, including commercial contract disputes, licensing and distribution disputes, corporate and fiduciary liability matters, unfair business practices, partner and shareholder disputes, corporate raiding issues, patent infringement disputes, class action defense and labor relations matters.
I see a continuing increase in unfair competition and trade secret litigation as technology continues to advance at a dramatic pace. I work with clients on practical solutions for minimizing these risks before litigation ensues and, if there is litigation, on aggressively and practically handling the litigation.
I also see continuing consolidation in the Beverage Alcohol industry, which creates both transactional opportunities but also litigation risk. I work strategically with clients in this industry to prepare for and minimize these risks and to take advantage of these opportunities.
Bruce has been a presenter before the Association of Corporate Counsel and the Association of California Insurance Companies (ACIC) General Counsel meeting, and has authored numerous publications, including commentary regarding California Business and Professional Code section 17200 ("Proposed California Ballot Initiative Could Eliminate Representative Lawsuits Brought by Uninjured Litigants under California Business and Professions Code Section 17200"), Proposition 64 ("California First District Court of Appeal Rules Prop. 64 Is Not Retroactive", "Prop. 64 Is Not Retroactive, San Francisco Trial Court Rules", and "Second and Fourth District Courts of Appeal Weigh In on Proposition 64 Retroactivity"), and tort liability for recruiting employees ("Tort Liability in California for Recruiting of Employees").

is this: Thou shalt NEVER wager any money on the Detroit Lions to win a game of consequence, no matter what the spread.
You can take that to the bank. Your roll will thank me.
And despite the iron clad truth of that rule, there must be people who actually bet on the Lions to win. The Vegas line for this weekend is Lions over Packers by 3. Bill Simmons from ESPN.com likes the Lions in this game, despite putting them in an elite group of five teams (not including the Packers) which just plain suck. Oddjack is taking the Lions and the over. This is just wrong.
I don't care how bad the Packers' defense is. I don't care how talented the Lions WRs are. All I know is that the Lions have laid egg after egg for years now. They have an undeniable and exceptional ability to come up small in big games. They shrink from a challenge faster than your sack shrinks in a minus-30 windchill. Playing the Pack is always a big game, and the Lions pretty much always play those like they couldn't beat a good high school team. Run away and fast.
If you absolutely must bet on this game, take the Packers and points. The better choice by far is to NOT bet this one, and use your money elsewhere.

Shame on you.
Of course, I HAD to bet the Lions since I was watching the game with Bob and he was paying for drinks. - 12:40 PM

yeah, yeah.
I had no idea the Packers could possibly be that inept. If Walker doesn't get hurt, they still find a way to win the game. - 1:39 PM

You're right. As the Lions failed over and over to extend their lead, I'd grab Bob by the shoulders and scream, "WHY ARE THEY LETTING FAVRE HANG AROUND?!?!?!"

Lobster tags. TINA COMEAU PHOTO
Lobster fishermen in all three PEI fishing areas can expect to receive information within the new few days regarding the cost and distribution of tags.
The PEI Fishermen's Association recently became the first licensed supplier under a new plan by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to get out of the business of issuing tags. The industry association will now be issue tags for all species with the exception of tuna.
Association Executive Director Ian MacPherson said fishermen in Areas 24 (the spring season on the North Shore), 25 (the fall fishery on south shore) and 26A 9the spring fishery on the south shore) will receive a letter before the end of January. It will contain a form fishers will be asked to send back confirming the association as their tag supplier.
MacPherson said they will also be supplying tags to any out-of-province fishers that are fishing in Island waters. He said the association plans to offer bilingual service. "We will continue to update harvester and tag information as it becomes available from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans," he said.

a funny one this, both leader and second found the use of an arse jam helped on the crux!

Did the direct start as a sit start, as in the Bouldering guide recommended and I find it one of the best problems in the grade far around. F6c, maybe it felt easy for me, but consider that I like fist cracks:) |

I recently bought a bonnet lock kit after the common problem of my previous one breaking on my 07 Focus! I need to fit to my own key but didn't realise the complexity of building the lock and how many spacers there are included!
I know I could go to Ford but the reason I bought the kit was to save me money and be able to do it myself.
Is there a guide and pictures to help this? Any answers greatly received!

I'm new to all this and have finally opened my eyes and more so, my mind. I was lost in the world of religion and now that I am free of it, I feel great! I do have one question. How do you handle the religious folk that come to your door wanting to talk to you about religion, church, etc?
Thank you for your input and thank you for the welcome! :)
And yes, no one should interrupt dinner for anything!!! lol
I hear ya! I recently moved to a new town and have been there since last July. I had 2 guys come to my door last month but didn't answer the door because I had my kids there and I don't trust people lol
I don't get door-to-door preachers where I live. Such missionaries are not all that common. A couple of times there were religious dvds left at the front entrance of my apartment, but I never met whoever left them.
I do run into street preachers now and then. Most of the time I am curt yet civil with them. If they are friendly or they have an amusing opening pitch, I may stop to chat, but mostly I just ask questions to see how they respond. I answer their questions honestly in return, but in most cases it doesn't take them too long to figure out I'm not some easy mark who hasn't given the subject matter any thought. Sometimes we can have a friendly chat while disagreeing. I don't have a problem with that as some of these people seem genuinely well-intentioned. Even if I'm wrong about that, I already know I'm not buying what they're selling, so they cause me no grief apart from minor intrusion.
In one case I gave a guy a pretty hard time, but it had nothing to do with his religion itself. I think he was representing the Hare Krisna movement. He tried to force a book into my hand. I said I didn't want it. He insisted, saying it was free. I still wasn't interested. He persisted while blocking my path on a busy street. At that point I decided taking the book was easier than bowling a man over to get by.
That's when the guy asked for a five dollar donation, which I refused. He explained about the printing costs and blah, blah, blah, then instructing me to return the book. I refused. He started to open his mouth again, and I just went off in a very calm, yet unpleasant explanation of what it meant to call something free, what it meant to give something to someone else in exchange for no money versus five dollars, what it meant to sell something, and what it meant to sell something on the street side with no license to do so when a police officer is standing no more than five meters away. Then I started in on what a money trap the whole thing was and reduced him from a supposed spiritual man to a petty con man. I don't remember if he said anything in return after that, but he looked pissed off and perhaps defeated, so I walked away with the book I never wanted in hand because hey, sometimes I can be petty toward people I think are assholes.
My son's new favorite phrase is "would you like a spot of tea" (from Beauty and the Beast, Mrs. Potts)
One of my favourite movies growing up. I actually watched it again for the first time in ages last year, and it definitely held up.
Nice story Kris. I have never talked to anyone trying to push anything on me like that and I've never answered my door. I know I piss a lot of people off at work by a few things I say about religion and you can tell how mad they get, but they are also my friends and don't really retaliate too hard. I'm just trying to learn more about this life now. Thanks for your input Kris!!!
I get callers all the time. Ireland has become less religious over the last number of years but during that time it has become very cosmopolitan with over 90 different nationalities living in my part of Dublin. This has led to a proliferation of new religions and many are very keen to spread the "good news". So when they call to me I invite them in. I will offer them a coffee and a seat and allow them to tell me all about their Gods. Most common are the Jehovah Witness and Born Again types. There is a Mormon HQ a few doors up that rotates young Americans. Only once have they managed to stay more than 2 hours. They get so confused and uncomfortable because it takes them about an hour to figure out I am an Atheist and I am trying to get them to confront and challenge what they profess to believe.
Over the last few years I have "saved" 4 J.W.'s which has really annoyed the local boss. He is doing his best to convert me and brings around "trainee" door steppers with him so that they can meet a "real live" Atheist. The Bible belt born agains are interesting but difficult to reach. They may question their faith at times but not the certainty that their god exists! Once 2 of the local Mormons called while the JW's were in. So I invited them in at the same time. They argued over the interpretation of Scripture for a few minutes while I started to despair for humanity. The J.W's left as I remarked how important it was that they all "study to show themselves approved unto God as long as they rightly divided the truth" (2 Timmy 2) :-)…
Then the Mormons dropped to their knees and implored their God to show me (Brother Reg) the light. I asked the "weaker" one if he actually believed that he could communicate with this spirit that created the Universe in a two way conversation. It was like I had hit him. He went white in the face and started stuttering. He was going to say "yes" but realised how silly that would have sounded. At the same instant he knew he could not say "no". The confusion was too much him…..cognitive dissonance got slapped by a reality check…….and that ended their visit. He kept staring at me and I really wanted to tell him "yeah man its all a delusion" but that was for him to do. The Mormons no longer call to me. I am in their bad book.
Once my ultra-Catholic ("Are you a Catholic or have you chosen to go to Hell") neighbour asked me why I would even bother to talk to "those people". I said "Yes, they do believe in weird stuff, like a god creating everything and deciding to have a human child that died for us and rose up from the dead". "Man, that is weird shit they believe, is it not?" "And to make matter worse they actually believe this son of their god is going to return and take some of them back with him for all eternity!!" Imagine believing that!! He no longer speaks to me :-)…..
I wish them a great day and I get back to my life.
How do you handle the religious folk that come to your door wanting to talk to you about religion, church, etc?
This hasn't happened to me since I sold my house. Once a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses came by. I offered them lemonade, pie and an hour of my time. They accepted. We chatted on my deck.
After the initial niceties I cut to the quick. Everything you folks believe is based on the God claim. Thus, the rest is academic until you establish that God exists. What evidence do you have? Well, said they, the Bible says blah blah blah. The Bible is the claim, said I, not the evidence. I'm willing to consider the claim, but you'll have to produce some evidence, not a more emphatic repetition of the claim.
Oh, said they, can you prove God doesn't exist? Are you, I asked, familiar with a burden of proof fallacy? Allow me to explain...
And so on. Everything they tried, I shut it down by pointing out the flaw in the reasoning or the intellectual dishonesty, and explaining that I didn't find it persuasive at all. They kept pressing me to bypass that-- let's just assume for now that God exists-- and redirect to the Bible, but I wouldn't allow them to gloss over their failure to establish the God claim.
They had been trained to address certain responses to particular statements and questions. But they were unprepared to go off-script and handle direct challenges to theism itself.
They were visibly shaken when we parted company an hour later. I got firm, warm handshakes out the outset, but at the conclusion it was like shaking the limp, cold hands of two corpses. They left in a daze, somber and silent.
That's how I handle it: straight for the jugular. No need to get into the Bible, just show me your evidence for God. Until you establish that he exists at all, there's no reason to consider any words, deeds and qualities you want to attribute to him.
Welcome to TA!
We generally don't get any door to door church people. In my life we've had maybe 2. The one we completely ignored but the other I went out to our gate to chat to. I was about 16 at the time and simply kept posing questions to the guy who eventually seemed to get overwhelmed by this teenager who seemed to know more about his religion than he did (probably an amateur Jehovahs Witness). He obviously had no idea what to do when people opposed his views.
It can be lots of fun to chat to the people if they are friendly! It depends on your mood and the type of person they are though.

Coin Shrinking from Jeremy Ruhland on Vimeo.
Turn half dollars into quarters! Turn quarters into dimes! Turn dimes into little semi-molten balls of metal! All this is possible with the proper application of insanely high electrical current at very high voltage.
"God made the quarters. It's up to us to make them shrink." --anon.
The coins don't just shrink; they keep their identity and fine details. But do they keep their value?
Hackerbot Labs is proud to contribute to America's economic downsizing.
How does it work?
A high voltage DC supply charges the big 300 µF capacitor to 10 kV, or about 15,000 J of stored energy.
This energy is released as quickly as possible into a small copper coil wrapped around a coin.
The fast changing current creates a very powerful magnetic field in the coil, which creates a very powerful magnetic field in the coin itself. The strong opposition between the two fields causes the material of the coin to contract, while at the same time the copper coil expands. A few dozens of microseconds later, the coil has violently exploded inside a specially built blast chamber. And the coin itself is much smaller!
Where does the coin go?
No material is lost from the original coin: the weight and volume are the same as the original. But the coin now has a smaller diameter and is thicker, while retaining much of its surface detail. It's also extremely hot just after firing!
Isn't this dangerous?
Oh yes. An average automated defibrillator (AED) provides a jolt of about 150 joules. The energy stored in the big cap is about 100 times that much.
There's also the tremendously loud noise, a very bright flash of UV when the spark gap switch closes, the possibility of fire and toxic gas when stuff in the chamber burns or pyrolyzes, and bits of copper shrapnel moving with enough energy to blast clean through six-ply blocks of plywood. And somebody always burns themselves when they try to pick up the newly shrunken quarter.
To contain and prevent much of that danger, we have designed a custom-built blast chamber out of very thick high density plastic. It contains the shrapnel and covers most of the electrodes, and provides a solid platform to hold the mechanical spark gap trigger. The trigger is engaged by yanking a very long rope: simple but effective.
Who invented this thing?
It wasn't us. We just built one. It's an actual industrial process called electromagnetic forming. See some of these links for more coin shrinking madness:

The plastic wristbands, which claim to improve balance, strength and flexibility have been exposed as a fake by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). CHOICE has been making this assertion since independently testing the product in August 2010. CHOICE's tests revealed the band and pendant had no effect on performance. This is undoubtedly a big CHOICE win for consumers. "CHOICE of course listed the Power Balance among its Shonky Awards and quite accurately said the only effect was on emptying wallets." Said ACCC Chairman Graeme Samuel. Power balance has provided the ACCC with court enforceable undertakings that it will:
"Consumers should be wary of other similar products on the market that make unsubstantiated claims, when they may be no more beneficial than a rubber band." said Samuel.
Consumers with refund enquiries can call Power Balance on 1800 733 436.
Unfortunately, the company's YouTube page seems to have slipped through the cracks: Power Balance has yet to remove a range of videos supporting their bogus claims from the site.

text: Born in Conakry, Guinea but raised Sierra Leonean, the now 20 year old Mohamed Samba Kamara is the artist named 'Luxsonjay'. Luxsonjay (meaning 'De Lighting Son') is a musician, actor and human rights activist. Mohamed's childhood was spent with his father selling wood bundles to survive the terror of the war. Finding hope in God, Mohammed joined the Harvest Ministry International (Harvest 4-D Rapture). Christianity led to art. In his church the young superstar is called "Mohamed 4 Jesus" and is now the youth president and a chorister. Admired for his singing and drumming, his artistic spirit was roused and Luxsonjay was born. Luxsonjay is the Founder and Director of Artists United 4 Children and Youth Development (AUCAYD) established in 2007. It is a youth-led, non-political, non-governmental and non-profit organization registered with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and the Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender and Children Affairs. It seeks to discover, empower and promote the talent of young people and to advocate on issues affecting them and their communities, which are also common in other parts of the world. Using arts (music, drama, creative writing, drawing, short-films), media technology (radio, television, internet) and culture (ethics, tradition, norm, morals values), the novelty of AUCAYD is creativity for an improved society (for more info see www.aucayd.org). In 2007 Luxsonjay collaborated on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's album "Salone Go Beteh", created to sensitize the public to the findings and recommendations of the TRC. Solicited by the coordinator Chairman Zibbo Conteh, together with "AJA" (a Caribbean artist from Barbados), he was given the responsibility to organize the artists during the launching of the album at the national stadium. Luxsonjay, , together with popular hip-hop group 'the Rebel Souls' based in Portland, Oregon, USA., participated in a documentary with Moving to the Beat Mobilizing Youth (M2B), during their visit to Sierra Leone. The essence of the documentary was to compare the Sierra Leonean music with that of American music. He spoke about the promotion of conscious hip hop music in Sierra Leone. He feels that Sierra Leonean hip-hop can be best used to address issues of both local and global concern, contrary to much of the hip-hop coming out of America that sometimes utilizes this art form to be confrontational and abusive. Using his mental, spiritual and physical energy to help sustain peace in his country, Luxsonjay sings about controversial topics such as HIV/AIDS, Human Rights, Social injustice, Anti-Slavery and the rule of law. In 2006 Luxsonjay won his first music award with his song entitled 'Let's Talk About Peace' at a competition called 'Talent Star Search' organized by Traxx Entertainment Group. The following year he won another award called 'Maltina Day of the African Child' with the same song at an event organized by Sierra Leone Brewery Limited (SLBL). Following this achievement he became the assistant music director of iEARN-Sierra Leone and also served as the Youth Facilitator, president of iEARN-Model School Club. As a president he visited various secondary schools campaigning against drug and non-violence. Luxsonjay have tremendous working experience with both local and International Organizations in social and educative programming and Community-related work. In 2005 Luxsonjay volunteered with Student Partnership Worldwide Sierra Leone as a training instructor in music and drama (job responsibilities included planning and conducting training on HIV/AIDS and the monitoring and evaluation of the process up to the official launch of the organization). In 2004 he participated in an international music campaign for education and non-violence among young people together with a human rights group Rap4Rights, based in the Netherlands. This was organized by plan Netherlands and plan Sierra Leone. Luxsonjay met with a prominent Dutch rap artist by the name of Raymster and together with colleagues they produced a song and a video documentary to showcase their talent. It was clear at a very early age that Luxsonjay loved music the most. He says "music is the heart beat of the soul that makes us all belong and be loved, and live in harmony; helping us to forget about our stress, differences and problems. Music is life, a 'food for thought'. Only those who feel it know how sweet it is. It creates an atmosphere of peace, love and unity amongst us. Peace is nice and I want to be a beacon for peace". His favorite musicians include: the late Lucky Dube & Mariana Kebba, Morgan Heritage, Akon, R.Kelly, Lauren Hill, Wycliffe Jean, Celline Dion, and Syrai, to name a few. He loves games and sport as he participated in team sports for his school, Luxsonjay says ''soccer, like music, is one of the few things that unites us together, gives us pleasure and helps us all to live in one-accord. As Musicians as well as footballers we all are players, playing the same game in a different field.'' Luxsonjay is a football fan of Liverpool FC and the Mighty Blackpool FC in Sierra Leone. His favorite players are: Mohamed Kallon, Jay-Jay Okocha, Steven Gerard, Zidan, Ronaldinho, and Christiano Ronaldo etc.

When I left Brisbane 11 years ago to move to Sydney, I thought the future had two possibilities – stay in Sydney forever, or move to London at some point, and return to Sydney. I didn't expect that we'd travel around a few different cities, and I never ever thought that I would one day refer to Brisbane as 'home' again. But, it's where a big chunk of our families are, it's where I came back to to have one of my babies, and despite the massive changes that have happened here since I left, it's still so familiar to me – it's like putting on a comfy pair of trackpants.
It's taken a couple of weeks to unwind from the tangles of Timor since we got back, and to just relax. There was mail to go through, things to get organised, winter clothes to buy for the kids in a hurry, as well as family to catch up with after more or less seven months away from each other (or in the case of my parents, 12 months – as they were travelling when we visited Brisbane last November). Shopping malls to be bedazzled by.
The Sprog seems to be quite obsessed with understanding driving rules. This is because there are no driving rules in Timor-Leste. (Well, there are but generally road-based anarchy reigns). She wants to know what the traffic lights mean (there are only two sets of traffic lights in Dili and I don't think either of them are working at the moment), and she's become a very capable backseat driver.
Little H has taken advantage of being in a new place and is using it like her personal play gym, climbing up things and jumping off them (much to my horror). Her language is coming along well as she's now constantly surrounded by English. Both girls love being in Brisbane with their two Nanas, their Pa and Grandpa, and cousins galore (both the ones related by blood and the ones related by the bond of parental friendships!)
With going home on the horizon already, I'm soaking up every last inch of the balmy winter days, fast internet connections, convenience of town water coming through the taps, lack of strange smells, clean streets, friends and family, and being able to buy anything I want right when I want it!
We kinda miss spotting pigs and goats as we drive through the streets though.

Nerdist Podcast: Aasif Mandvi
By Katie Levine on June 7, 2013
Aasif Mandvi hangs out with Chris and Matt to talk about The Daily Show and his new movie The Internship, and Janina Gavankar (from True Blood and Arrow) hangs out and joins the conversation!
Was Jonah not there due to being contractually not allowed to talk about a movie about Google due to his Bing endorsement? #HeBingedItOn
Bing is horrible. I think it's hilarious they never discuss it, but I understand why.
What app were they talking about? Uber?
Gyros are my favorite food too. I've thought about it a lot.
I thoroughly enjoyed the riffing, the singing, the jokes and most of all the silly voices.
Keep up the great work.

Mylan Inc. has released atorvastatin calcium tablets, a generic version of Pfizer's Lipitor tablets for treating high cholesterol.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
PITTSBURGH – Mylan Inc. has released atorvastatin calcium tablets, a generic version of Pfizer's Lipitor tablets for treating high cholesterol.
Mylan said Tuesday that its Mylan Laboratories Ltd. subsidiary has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration to market atorvastatin calcium tablets in strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg.
The company had received tentative FDA approval for the product earlier this year.
"We are very pleased to have received final approval for our ANDA [abbreviated new drug application] for generic Lipitor, the most widely prescribed drug in U.S. history," stated Mylan chief executive officer Heather Bresch. "Through Mylan's launch of atorvastatin calcium tablets, we look forward to be able to offer our customers, the American consumer and the U.S. government significant savings and expanded access to this important product."
Atorvastatin is indicated as an adjunct to diet in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce elevated total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides as well as to increase HDL cholesterol.
Lipitor had U.S. sales of $8.1 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, according to IMS Health data cited by Mylan.

There wasn't the fog I was hoping for. Frost certainly, it was at least 2 below. And the cycle ride to my planned spot (a field out towards Brightwell) failed to inspire (I was hoping for frosty, white tress surrounded by mists). Around the by-pass to the Thames thought I and the flooded fields seen earlier in the week.
These photographs are the result. The water has dropped over the last few days but still leaves the fields and pathways pretty much impassable. The light was wonderful but didn't last long.

text: Another thing. The Boca police say they abandoned the case because the body was cremated and as a result there was no evidence. This is self-serving propaganda. I don't fault New Times for falling for it, though I could have clarified if I had been asked. A body does not yield any evidence when a person dies from the displacement of oxygen by helium. The body would not have provided the prosecution with any evidence whatsoever. The Boca police abandoned the case because they had no case, and it had nothing to do with the lack of a body. The Boca police have no evidence that anybody from Final Exit Network "assisted" in any death. Period.
