Few days to go before the 2009 F1 action starts, time to summarize the most important F1 rules changes:
The most obvious changes in regulations are those visible on the cars – low and wide front wing, tall and narrow rear wing. All the small winglets and appendages are now banned. Perhaps not so obvious are the movable flaps on the front wing adjustable by driver from the cockpit.
Slick tyres will return for the first time since 1997 season replacing the grooved ones. Bridgestone will supply four different compounds – super sof, soft, medium and hard. For the past two seasons, Bridgestone has brought two consecutive compounds from its range of four to each event. In 2009 however, non-consecutive allocations will be made for most races. The white painted grove will be replaced by green line around the sidewall. The tyres formerly known as wet will now be called intermediate, the former extreme wets are now wet.
Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) will be allowed (not compulsory) and can provide the driver with extra around 80bhp for period 6.6s a lap. Most of the teams developed their own devices, some may be getting them from their engine suppliers. However only Renault and Ferrari so far confirmed they will use the (heavy) device in Melbourne.
As one of the cost saving measures the engine revs will be limited to 18,000 rpm (from 19,000 rpm last year). Each driver will only be allowed to use 8 engines per season (P3, qualifying and race are covered by this limit). That means some of the engines will have to last 3 races. The 10 places grid penalty will be applied when extra engine is used (only one penalty for each new engine, so if driver uses 9th engine for 2 races he will only be penalized once).
Pit lane will no longer be closed when safety car is deployed. The drivers will no longer be penalized by unlucky safety car timing but the sporting regulations do leave some room for controversial steward decisions …
… any car being driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or which is deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers at any time whilst the safety car is deployed will be reported to the stewards. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.
The testing is limited to no more than 15,000km of track testing during a calendar year but no track testing may take place between the start of the week preceding the first Event of the Championship and 31 December of the same year. In other words, no testing between now and January 1, 2010 (except few exemptions listed in F1 sporting regulations 22.1).
The pit lane speed limit during qualifying and race has been increased to 100km/h.
This is the summary of the most important changes. You can download the complete 2009 F1 sporting and technical regulations here:
The sporting regulations are already amended and do not include the winner takes all rule, the rule that FIA backtracked on, see paragraph 6. of the 2009 F1 Sporting Regulations.
6.1 The Formula One World Championship driver's title will be awarded to the driver who has scored the highest number of points, taking into consideration all the results obtained during the Events which have actually taken place.

Student Loans for Florida International University Students
Miami is one of the most popular destinations for Spring Break, so going to college in Miami is clearly tops in terms of great weather and major opportunities for exciting outdoor activities. In addition to the school's rigorous academics, the Miami location of both Florida International University (FIU) campuses is an obvious point of attraction.
In addition to being located in a great city, according to U.S. News, FIU features the following:
- Approximately 37,468 undergraduates
- 344 acres of campus
- In-state tuition for Florida residents
- A 40.5 percent acceptance rate
- More than 30 fraternities and sororities
Academics at FIU
According to 4 International Colleges and Universities, FIU is ranked #6 of all universities in Florida. Of the 48 Florida universities ranked, FIU was the only one in the top 15 that is located in Miami, which suggests that this school may be a good option for students hoping to study in this city.
As far as academics, FIU offers its students:
- More than 200 bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs
- Colleges dedicated to subjects including architecture, arts and sciences, business, engineering, and education
- The Mymajor tool to research specific information on majors, including descriptions, admission requirements, and job prospects
As FIU offers myriad academic programs, students may find it useful to know which courses of study their classmates pursued. According to U.S. News, the top five majors for 2012 graduates were:
- Business

Beyond campus, FIU students can avail themselves of Miami and meet students from other Miami colleges. There are 25 colleges and universities in Miami. The upshot of going to college in a major city is that you will not be limited to campus for your social life. Time Out Miamiis one of the best go-to sources for information on all events and happenings in the city.
Paying for FIU
For the 2014 – 2015 academic year, the cost of attending FIU includes the following estimated annual expenses:
- In-state tuition: $6,506.48
- Out-of-state tuition: $18,905.48
Housing, meals, and books/supplies would be in addition to the above tuition costs.
Whether you qualify for in-state tuition or not, the likelihood is that most students will need to draw from a host of funding sources such as:
- Federal loans
- Scholarships
- Private loans
- Federal grants
- State grants (such as the Florida Resident Access Grant)
According to FIU, 60 percent of students receive financial aid. FIU offers an Undergraduate Admissions Merit Scholarship (full scholarship) for entering students with a 4.0 GPA and stellar SAT or ACT scores.

The dining table measures a functional 29x47 inches. The dining chairs have a low profile at 33 inches high. This design element works great in small spaces when you don't want your set to overpower your environment. The chairs feature a microfiber cushion seat that is easy to clean and looks great with the dark color of the wood.
The Anita ships via Fedex Ground Home Delivery right to your door. There is assembly required. The chair backs and chair front legs already come assembled, so you just need to attach the front to the back of the chair. The table leg assembly is quick and easy. Hardware and instructions are included.

This dining set is a little smaller than I was looking for. I guess it would do really well if you're trying to fill up a small space, but looking at the picture I thought this set was going to be bigger. I'm making the set work for me, though, and it does seem to be good quality. I was really excited to find such a good dining set at a good price, it's just a little small for my needs. If you're looking for something small, it will probably be perfect for you. Be sure to pay attention to the dimensions!
Posted by Happy Shopper on 12th May 2014
This 5 piece set turned out to be perfect for my small dining room. I love the look, the quality is good, and I can't complain about the price at all. My husband said the assembly was easy, too (I'll take his word for it!). I love the subtle design elements—they let me play around with centerpieces without making the room too gaudy. The chairs are pretty comfortable, too. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this purchase and I'd recommend this dining set to anyone working with a small space.

Nigeria Islamists Ansaru claim Bauchi Setraco seizures
Nigerian militant group Ansaru says it kidnapped seven foreign workers in a raid that saw a security guard killed.
Italian, British, Greek and Lebanese workers are thought to be among those being held after the attack in the northern state of Bauchi.
They were working on a construction project when the militants attacked on Sunday, reports say.
Ansaru, an Islamist group, emerged last June and recently carried out a raid in which it kidnapped a French national.
The group announced it was behind Sunday's kidnappings in an email sent to journalists, saying it had "the custody of seven persons, which include Lebanese and their European counterparts" working with construction firm Setraco.
On Monday, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office would still not confirm or deny reports that a Briton was among those held.
Earlier reports that a Filipino was among the hostages were denied by the company.
The kidnapping of foreigners and wealthy Nigerians is common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, in the south of the country, and has become a lucrative trade for criminals.
The twin strike on the housing camp was clinical. Avoiding the heavily-fortified main gate, around two dozen rifle-laden attackers used dynamite to blow up two separate points in the wall enclosing the camp.
They entered the first point just before 22:00 on Saturday night and exited through the other hole around 45 minutes later, carrying seven hostages.
Rampaging through several houses, the attackers made their way to club house, where five workers enjoying their Saturday night. As the gunmen ran in the sound of gunfire filled the air.
One security guard was killed and others ran for cover, due to the size of the deadly Islamists' group that bore down on the construction workers.
This incident was way beyond anything northern-based construction companies have experienced in decades in Nigeria.
Oil workers and other foreign nationals are often targeted because companies pay high ransom money to secure their employees' release, correspondents say.
But the seizure of seven foreign workers in the north of the country makes Sunday's raid one of the most significant in that region in recent memory.
The raid was preceded by an attack on the local police station, when two vehicles were blown up, in the town of Jama'are, some 125 miles (200km) north of the state capital, Bauchi.
The attackers then moved on to a camp belonging to Setraco, killing a guard and seizing the workers. Setraco is currently expanding a major road in the area.
The state capital has itself been attacked several times by Boko Haram, which wants to impose Sharia (Islamic law) across Nigeria.
Ansaru, which announced its existence in a video released in June 2012, is suspected of being an off-shoot of Boko Haram.
The new movement has been listed by the UK government as a "terrorist organisation" aligned with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
The first attack for which it claimed responsibility was an attack on a police station in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, in November 2012.
The group has warned it would target non-Muslims "in self-defence".

Anthony Babino (2009) – Senior Recital
Guitarist and lyric baritone Anthony Babino performed his senior recital on April 17, 2009. The recital showcased a wide range of musical styles, with Anthony performing works on both guitar and voice in the classical, jazz, folk, and pop/rock styles. In preparing the recital program, much effort and research went into text translation, as well as the compilation of background information on the various composers and their respective works. Accompanied by Assistant Professor Joyce Chung on piano, the recital began with a performance of five selections from Franz Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin. Study of this work included learning about historical performance practice in the Romantic period, and analysis of the work, as well as an intense study of the German language. Anthony then performed two pieces for solo guitar, "Adelita" by Francisco Tárrega and Prelude no. 4 in E Minor by Heitor Villa-Lobos. The first half concluded with a performance of two Neapolitan songs, "Anema e core" by Salve d'Esposito, and Toto's "Mala Femmena," in which Anthony accompanied himself on the guitar and was joined by his brother Steven on bass.
Following a brief intermission, Anthony was accompanied on stage by his guitar teacher Edward Brown (guitar), Jon Caro (guitar), and Steven Babino (bass) in an arrangement of Sal Salvador's jazz guitar duet "Walkin' Time." Two jazz standards, "All of Me" and "It's Only A Paper Moon," took shape as the configuration of musicians changed over to Anthony (guitar), Steven (bass), Dr. Robert Delfausse (piano), Jeff Lederer (saxophone), and Anthony's dad Tony (drums). Daniel Gallagher (guitar) then joined the group to perform two of Anthony's original compositions, "How She Does It" and "Melancholy Feeling," both featured on his upcoming debut album. The recital concluded with two Beatles classics, "I'll Be Back" and "This Boy." The latter featured a familial trio performance by Anthony (guitar), Steven (bass), and Tony (guitar), performing in close three-part vocal harmony.

Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease have identified three genetic factors that drive the process of generating new heart cells. The study appearing in Nature and carried out with mouse cells is reportedly the first time any combination of factors has been found to activate cardiac differentiation in mammalian cells or tissues.
"The heart has very little regenerative capacity after it has been damaged," points out Benoit Bruneau, Ph.D. "With heart disease the leading cause of death in the Western world, this is a significant first step in understanding how we might create new cells to repair a damaged heart."
Two of the three genes encode proteins called transcription factors GATA4 and TBX5. Both are known to cause heart disease in humans when mutated and to cooperate with each other to control other genes. When Dr. Bruneau and postdoctoral fellow Jun K. Takeuchi added different combinations of transcription factors to mouse cells, these two seemed important for pushing cells into heart cells but were not enough.
"When we finally identified the key factor that could work with GATA4 and TBX5 to turn cells into beating heart cells, it was somewhat of a surprise to us," remarks Dr. Bruneau. The surprising factor was a cardiac-specific protein called BAF60c, which helps determine whether transcription factors like GATA4 and TBX5 can even gain access to the DNA regions they were supposed to turn on or off.
"Our previous studies had shown that chromatin remodeling complexes were important," Dr. Bruneau explains. "Mice with lower levels of these complexes have severe heart defects and defective cardiac differentiation. These observations prompted us to look at Baf60c in heart differentiation."
Addition of the three factors directed differentiation of mouse mesoderm, which normally has the potential to make bone, blood, muscle, heart, and other tissues, specifically into normal cardiac muscle cells. In fact, even cells that normally contribute to the placenta could be induced to transform into beating cardiomyocytes.

Research shows silk implants can be used to help alleviate epileptic seizures
Posted By Briley Kenney On July 31, 2013 @ 6:46 AM In General Tech | 2 Comments
Epilepsy is a pretty big issue for some folks. While most people who suffer from epilepsy can take control of their body through medication, surgery or other conventional methods, about 30 percent of patients cannot. The patients who do not benefit from select treatments are instead plagued with an increased number of seizures, which can certainly become more volatile over time.
Scientists may have something to alleviate those issues however, and it involves a rather peculiar component. Tiny pieces of silk may hold the key to eliminating seizures experienced by epileptics, at least in frequent increments.
According to research, studies show that epileptics seem to have a general lack of adenosine levels in their body. While this may not be causing the seizures entirely, it can certainly increase their veracity and frequency. The silk has been developed to store adenosine, and adversely release it once inside the body. Essentially, this will decrease neuron excitement levels, resulting in seizures happening less frequently.
Once inside a patient, the silk will remain functional for 10 days. It will continuously release the necessary substance, until it finally begins to dissolve inside the body. Yes, that means it's completely biodegradable.
Unfortunately, the application of the silk has yet to be tested on humans. Scientists from the Legacy Research Institute, Oregon Health and Sciences University and Tufts University have collaboratively experimented with the component on rats. Apparently, it's been tested in rats that were in the early stages of epilepsy. In the animals that were given the treatment, the epileptic seizures occurred four times less than those who did not.
According to Dr. Detlev Boison, of the Legacy Research Institute and OHSU, the treatment may work quite well on humans:
"Clinical applications could be the prevention of epilepsy following head trauma or the prevention of seizures that often — in about 50 percent of patients — follow conventional epilepsy surgery. In this case, adenosine-releasing silk might be placed into the resection cavity in order to prevent future seizures."
Whatever the case may be, it's certainly curious to see average components like silk being repurposed for medical treatments such as this. It really makes you wonder what other kinds of applications can be applied to common materials and components. Could there be a cure for cancer out there somewhere, hidden behind a material we use every day?
Back to the topic at hand, this is certainly a promising breakthrough. What do you think dotTechies? Let us know in the comments [2] below!

text: In honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day yesterday, I'd like to share a story of pheasants and patriotism that I learned of on a recent upland hunting trip to Aberdeen, S.D. As you know, on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and shortly thereafter the United States joined the Allied war effort. The Chicago-Milwaukee Railroad transported an average of 500 U.S. troops through Aberdeen each day, and soon local residents began discussing what could be done to support the troops. On August 19, 1943, the Red Cross/USO Canteen was opened at the Aberdeen train depot to provide free meals for up to 1,500 troops per day. Soon the meals' staple became a delicious sandwich crafted from the most readily available meat in the area—pheasants! Hunters donated roosters, and large organized hunts were also held to round up birds for the canteen—one local historian tells me the game warden simply looked the other way. Up to 1,000 frozen pheasants were kept in storage to feed hungry soldiers. The sandwiches were so delicious that rumors of their flavor spread down the rail long before troops' arrival. By the time train stopped in Aberdeen, troops were already asking about the "Pheasant Canteen," as it came to be known. Until the War ended, the Pheasant Canteen fed more than 500,000 troops and such dignitaries as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and President Harry S. Truman. So, if you're ever hunting pheasants in Brown County, S.D., be sure to visit the WWII Red Cross Canteen Exhibit. As the Red Cross puts it, "The WWII Red Cross Canteen will honor the 600,000 service men and women who passed through Aberdeen on their way to war and to remember the dedicated volunteers from the surrounding area who made the soldiers, if only for a short time, feel special, appreciated and loved." If you'd like to try making an authentic Aberdeen pheasant sandwich, here is the very specific recipe I was given: 3 cups cooked pheasant, chopped fine Mix all ingredients together. Add dressing to taste, chill. Spread on sandwich bread The Red Cross historian noted that the pheasant should be chopped, not grinded, and only Pullman loaf bread should be used—doing otherwise would be an affront to Uncle Sam. I love this story. Can you think of a more patriotic use of wild game?

Help Stop the Suffering in Maricopa County
The message below went out on Saturday, June 23, 2012 to Standing on the Side of Love supporters. You can sign-up for these emails here.
"Is Sheriff Joe afraid that the Unitarian Universalists leading the demonstration will pray those jail doors open?"
–Stephen Lemons, writing for the Phoenix New Times
Tonight: Tent City. Thousands strong, we will lift our voices against the inhumane conditions at this place that Sheriff Joe Arpaio himself calls a "concentration camp." What is Sheriff Arpaio's response to our peaceful candlelight vigil at Tent City? To put Maricopa County jails on lockdown, and prevent inmates from receiving visits from friends or family for 24 hours. Indeed, Arpaio plans to punish those who are already subjugated.
Friends—it's time for us to raise our voices together, all across the country, and demand, unequivocally, that the federal government Shut Down Tent City! Tent City represents the worst of a culture of cruelty perpetrated in the name of the U.S. government and is a shameful component of the federal system of mass detention and deportation. Help us shine a light on these egregious human rights abuses here in Arizona and across the nation!
Please join us in calling on President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to end the culture of cruelty by placing the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office under receivership, closing of Tent City, and cutting off all ICE powers from Maricopa County.
Click here to send your message.
Today, UUA President Rev. Peter Morales will join a delegation that is touring Tent City—special guests of Sheriff Arpaio. I am not optimistic that any dialogue between human rights observers and Arpaio will lead to positive change, though I am glad for the opportunity our denomination and others have to bear witness, even if it is only one more "media hit" for the Sheriff.
No matter what—tonight, thousands of us will protest the grotesque, unconstitutional conditions at this jail that have been allowed to go unchecked for far too long. We will lift our voices and demand a cessation to the cruelty perpetuated in Maricopa County. Never was a truer rallying cry than Arrest Arpaio, Not the People!
Join us! Click here to send your message urging a shut-down of Tent City.
"They're not going to stop me with their little demonstration," Sheriff Arpaio told the Arizona media about our Puente-UUA demonstration at Tent City. Maybe not today, Sheriff. Maybe not tomorrow. But we will stop you. The bending arc of justice will stop accommodating you. People of conscience and good will expose you. We will replace your cruelty with calls for compassion, faith in a better America, family first, and freedom for all who seek basic life, liberty, and happiness.
May Justice Prevail.

Apple not interested in more wireless experimentation
Although Apple's first wireless gamble paid off immensely, the company isn't ready for more experimentation just yet. On Apple's first quarter earnings call held this afternoon, Apple's fill-in CEO Tim Cook shot down rumors of an iPhone Nano and a Mac version of the netbook, a mini-laptop made for mobile users.
When questioned on Apple's plans for the non-contractual markets that the iPhone is in, Cook said that Apple is now in more than 70 countries and is constantly re-evaluating the best way to play there. But, playing in the low-end VoIP phone business won't be the answer. �That's not who we are,� he said. �That's not why we're here. We'll let somebody do that, our goal is not to be the unit share leader in the phone industry. It is to build the best phone."
Turns out, Apple doesn't like others sharing this goal either. The iPhone has inspired a rash of imitators, of which Cook said Apple likes the competition because it makes them better. But in a seeming shot against Palm and its new Pre device, Cook�threatened, �We like competition as long as they don't rip off our IP. And if they do, we will go after anyone who does.�
When netbooks came up, Cook said that Apple is watching that space, but the products are not something that consumers want, a sentiment echoed by a Biz360 study this week despite their relative success in 2008. The hardware is less powerful, the software technology is not good, the keyboards are cramped and the displays are too small, Cook added to illustrate his point.
"We don't think people will be pleased with those products,� he said on the call. �It's a category we watch. We've got some ideas here, but right now we think the products are inferior and will not provide an experience to customers they're happy with."
The no branching out mindset applied to Apple TV as well, a product Steve Jobs dubbed a hobby last year. With sales up three times versus this time last year, Cook said that the movie rental business has helped out Apple TV as more consumers believe there is something there for them. While the over-the-top video platform saw a tremendous pick up year over year, Cook confirmed - still just a hobby.
Apple has good reason not to worry about new products and the living room space today. The company posted record sales and profits for Q1. iPhone sales were up 88% percent compared to last year with 4.4 million sold in the first quarter. Overall, the company reported its highest revenues of $10.17 billion and profits of $1.61 billion, beating out Wall Street estimates.
Cook didn't have much to stay about Jobs and his current health-related leave of absence, which the Securities and Exchange Commission is now looking into. When asked if he would continue as CEO if it came to that, he only noted that Apple has an extraordinary amount of depth in its executive team, and it is doing the best work in its history.

Episode Information
Yesterday's show featured a continuation of our "State of the Cities" series, where we talk with mayors of the state's largest communities. We sat down for an hour with Eddie Perez, Mayor of Hartford. We talked about progress the city's making on curbing crime, revamping education, and attracting business. I asked the mayor whether any of this progress was being hampered by a nearly two-year long corruption investigation. Here's how he answered:
"People understand that the work needs to go on. I'm doing the job and I'm going to get the job completed. I got a three years balance to this term. I'm focused on the emergencies and the big things that face the city today and I'm going to get the job done".
Today, the news has changed and Mayor Perez will walk into a state police barracks and surrender himeslf on bribery charges. For details, we go to Hartford Courant reporter Jeffrey Cohen - who, along with colleague Mark Pazniokas, broke the story in the paper today.

Monday Menu Plan ~ February 20, 2012
After a particularly difficult week with both Bean and I not feeling our best, I've been extremely gratified to get the kitchen clean this weekend, as well as plan a menu and finally get signed up for our Mama Earth Organics order again!
The husband was super helpful with the kitchen too – he took the initiative to clean the nastiness out of the fridge (mainly leftovers that never got eaten :p), and filled the dishwasher several times (I wasn't exaggerating about it being a difficult week!).
Of course, it's been quite helpful to have an extra day off, too…why can't every weekend be a 3-day weekend??
At any rate, here's the plan for this week. Thanks to some organizational help from Pinterest, I'm quite excited about the breakfasts I've got planned. We're also going to be making more of an effort to get things done at night that we often find ourselves scrambling to do in the morning to make sure we have time for breakfast goodness.
Fingers crossed!

Sunday Surf on Monday
I really wanted to do a Sunday Surf yesterday (I've been reading so many amazing posts this week!) but I was just too tired from a crazy busy – but very fun – weekend.
Saturday I was at the home of relatives expecting their first baby very soon. They've been renovating an amazing old house for close to 5 years now (and doing an incredible job!) but with their own little bean on the way, things are shifting into high gear and they organized a work party to get some things taken care of.
So the husband and Bean had a daddy daughter bonding day and I did some painting!
It was a fun little switch, and it sounds weird but I feel so cool to have taken part in 'flipping' a house – small part though it was.
Mother's Day dawned gorgeously – finally a day that was truly sunny and warm!
Husband made me breakfast (bacon and eggs – yum!) and then we went for a long walk to work off breakfast. When we got home Bean was ready for a nap and we noticed exactly how many weeds had sprung up in our little front yard garden over the past week, so we did a little yard work and made it all pretty.
I then got inspired and decided to mow the lawn, so the front and back yards actually look presentable for once (we moved here last summer when I was pregnant and I could count on my hand the number of times we got the lawn taken care of…I'm sure our neighbors will be happier this year lol).
I also got started on my straw bale garden! I probably should have begun before now, but life intervenes… Read the rest of this entry »
The Green Chain Eco Interview for Environmental Charity
I was reading The Little Green blog this morning and I came across a post that told of a super easy way to help raise money for 3 environmental charities: Surfers Against Sewage, Trees for Cities and Young People's Trust for the Environment.
All I had to do to join in would be to answer 8 Eco Interview questions from The Green Chain sponsored by Price Minister (a site similar to Craigslist or Kijiji) here on the blog. When I link it up, they'll donate £10 to the charity of my choice.
How cool is that?
I checked with Mrs. Green to make sure I could participate here in Canada, and the answer she got was a go – so here it is!
1. Turning the heating down by just one degree in your house saves 240kg of CO2 a year. It would take eight trees to soak up this amount of CO2! Are you currently doing anything to make your home eco-friendly?
I had no idea one degree could make that much of a difference! Fortunately, we like to keep it pretty cool in our house. Here are a few other things we've done: Read the rest of this entry »

Deloitte's annual survey of the media landscape, released early last month, reported that 9% of the people interviewed had canceled their pay TV subscriptions in favor of watching shows online, and another 11% were considering it. Those are big, scary numbers for cable and satellite TV operators, as well as for TV producers who haven't found a way yet to make online viewing as lucrative as the combination of advertising dollars and monthly subscriber fees they collect from the likes of Comcast and DirecTV.

In 1983 Richard Pryor took joey under his wing having him as his opening act for countless sold out shows in Hollywood where Joey says, "I got the best damn tutoring you could ever have, Every night after the shows he would sit down with me and talk to me about what I was doing, and more importantly WHY and hoe I should try this or that. I feel so Blessed to have had a relationship like that with my idol." Over the years Joey has worked in film and television with the likes of Leslie Neilson, Paul Sorvino, Thora Birch and the late great Jonathan Winters.

Fit and cuts don't change as often and really you have a basic set of pieces that just change every few years. Within that you have different types of styles that people categorize - hipster, hippie, nerdy, you get the idea. One that I have never really thought much of is preppy. As a matter of fact, when people say the word preppy, it's something I would pretty much shy away from. Having grown up the in the south, guys dressing in khaki's, croakies, collared golf shirts in the color pink, boat shoes and ties would not illicit a double take from me. They were a dime a dozen.
So you can imagine my surprise that I am actually appreciating the history of preppy-ness by way of the original cool guy himself, Miles Davis (and by my dad who sent me the article).
Miles stocked up on tweed and madras jackets with a natural shoulder and narrow lapel; chino and flannel trousers; button-down shirts; knit and regimental striped ties; and Bass Weejun penny loafers. "It was a look that redefined cool," writes Miles biographer John Szwed, "and shook those who thought they were in the know."yes

Interesting how many in the music industry, specifically hip hop and rap have followed Miles' steps in recent years.

Enter a Present around the World Competition near you and see if you can reach the Global Final in London.
Competitors are asked to give a presentation for 10 minutes on a subject related to engineering and technology, and to answer questions for a further five minutes.
To make it even easier, it is perfectly acceptable to use your final year project presentation, a presentation from your graduate scheme or any other presentation which you already have.
The event is mainly to judge presentation skills, although the topic should be appropriate to the intended audience of students and young professionals.
The winner will also qualify for the later stages of the worldwide competition, which offer greater prize money and the opportunity to travel.
Many IET Local Networks hold Present around the World (PATW) competitions as part of their programme of events, normally between October and May. You don't need to be an IET member in order to enter the competition and the winner and runner-up (if more than three competitors) of each Local Network's competition is entitled to a year's free membership as part of their prize.
The presentation room most probably will have a raised platform, with a microphone system provided for the speakers. A laptop and video projector will be provided as standard, and the competitors will be asked to provide a USB stick with their presentation already uploaded on, or to email their presentation in advance. Any additional equipment will need to be provided by the presenter.
There should be three judges who will watch and then assess the presentations and then decide on a winner and runner-up (if more than three competitors).
Someone from your IET Local Network or Young Professionals' Section Committee will chair the event. During each presentation, the chair will indicate the time after eight minutes and then again after ten minutes. The speaker should then finish the presentation as quickly as possible.
For further details of the first round heats contact your IET Local Network

Josh Ritter, 'So Runs the World Away' (Pytheas)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Josh Ritter long ago cast off his trad-folk chains, and his seventh album continues to make the most of his freedom. "Change of Time" begins as a delicate acoustic ballad but builds to a swirl of electric guitar, organ, timpani, and winsome backup vocals. "Another New World" piles piano, horns, and haunting organ atop a mesmerizing acoustic guitar lick, creating a wildly theatrical epic. Elsewhere, there are nods to '80s-era Paul Simon, classic U2, and recent-vintage Dylan. Ritter's wordplay can be dense, but his warm, inviting voice makes it a pleasure to unravel.

Visit the new blog at NBA 2K14
How about this dunk right here? You know I'm running something crazy when my own players are posterizing each other. Look out for the Thunder and Kevin Durant MVP?
NBA 2K12 Rookies
Which rookies are the best in NBA 2K12? Each year they come into the game rated extremely low, usually at best high 70′s for some of the top picks. In what was widely regarded as a weak draft class, some of these rookies are beastly in the game. Here is my list of the best game changing rookies in NBA 2K12. Most of them are on bad teams so it's tough to get a chance to use them when playing online against the top teams everyone is running with (Heat, Thunder, and Lakers) But keep an eye out for some of these players when your in a draft.
Kyrie Irving is the best rookie player in NBA 2K12. He has it all quickness, good awareness, and legit steals which is important for an NBA 2K12 PG to have. His mid range game is deadly – that fadeaway animation he gets is the quickest release in the game so you don't need much separation to get it off.
Kemba Walker is also a top PG in the game because of his offensive skills and speed. He is a beast in pick and roll/pop situation becuase you can get inside the paint and have the option to create your own shot, kick it out to an open shooter if the defense collapses, or throw up an alley-oop to the roller cutting to the basket off the pick.
Jan Vesely is a big time sleeper player in NBA 2K12 not just a top rookie. He is big, fast, and athletic which makes him solid on defense, on the fast break, and don't sleep on his mid range shot.
Ricky Rubio is considered a rookie because this is his first year playing in the NBA and has been getting huge roster updates from the NBA 2K insider becuase of how well he has been playing. This dude can do it all offensively and defensively. His only issue is he is a little on the slow side, I like my 2K PG's always to have good speed.
Check out this top 5 NBA 2K12 Rookie plays video featuring Kyrie and Kemba:
NBA 2K12 Spin Dunk Tutorial
The spin dunk has been in the game since release but after the latest patch dropped it has become more effective. This video will teach you how to master the spin dunk with athletic quick players. The best spin dunkers in the game are not only athletic but also have lots of speed. The best players at the spin dunk would be dudes like: LeBron, Wade, Iggy, DeRozan, and Gay just to name a few.
Elton "Air" Brand
Come on Jordan, I mean BRAND… this is some mad craziness right here.. 35 years old with cashed knees and 2K has got Elton Brand doing this!!! LOL damn that hidden 99 vertical.
Play Calling
I get a lot of people asking me how the heck do you call and run plays in the game? It has changed from last year but they are still easy to setup and you can use any play from any playbook online or offline. To select a specific play here is what you do.
1 – Go to the coaching/playbooks menu and edit offense.
2 – replace a play with any play you want to check out from any teams playbook.
3 – Assign the play type as priority 1 to the player you want to run the play for.
4 – During the game hit LB + the players icon and call the play.
NBA 2K12 Tutorial Videos
This move is nice with Kobe or anyone that has his same isomotion spin animation. It's that quick one you get, you'll see it in the video. This will probably work best with the Black Mamba though becuase of how nice he is in the game with that speed and quickness, 99 offensive awareness, and the ability to hit shots in traffic. While dribbling towards the basket directly – isomotion spin into a spin jumper by rotating the shot stick.
Looking to play better defense? Well the 1-3-1 trap zone is a very popular tactic this year because of how important and effective traps, steals, and deflections are. Check out the tutorial below.
A lot of people have been asking me how to do Kareem's legendary sky hook shot. Well there are a few ways to do it from out of the post and from off the dribble. You can get the animation from real deep also and still maintain high shot quality.

Christmas, it's the day Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Christ. This year, it falls on a Sunday and some local pastors say they're canceling services. News 12 is on your side with a look at the Christmas Day debate.
You won't find any lack of Christmas Cheer at Stevens Creek Community Church. But come here to worship on Sunday, December 25, and the doors will be closed.
"We felt it was best if we could let our members celebrate at home with their family," said Marty Baker.
Pastor Marty Baker says the church will hold a big Christmas Eve celebration instead. And his church isn't alone, larger churches across the country are closing for Christmas. A big reason why, many members will be out of town.
The Pastor of South Point Christian Center, DJ Daly, has no plans to cancel Christmas services. The South Point congregation will meet like any other Sunday, plus a few extra decorations.
"We consider our church as a church family and we couldn't think of a better place to celebrate the day of the birth of our savior," Daly said.
Both pastors agree, on Christmas Day or any other day, worshipping God isn't confined inside church walls.
"You worship in your heart and believe that Christ will be right there in the living room with your family and you acknowledge him as the reason for the season," Baker said.
At church or at home, the reason for the season remains.

Its been an interesting year to say the least. From the spygate scandal, to the most dramatic season finale of recent years, 2007 had more than its fair share of thrills and spills. Alliances have been made, rookies have excelled, champions have stumbled and wars have been waged. All in all its been a rollercoaster ride and, not surprisingly, the Formula One world has had plenty to say about it
Rubens Barrichello on Hondas newly-launched 2007 challenger: I have no doubt that the new RA107 car is a better car than last years RA106. My aim is always to win races - it is the same for every driver. With Honda behind me, I am sure that there is the potential for more victories.
Fernando Alonso on settling in at McLaren: I felt a little nervous at first, but that is just human nature, I didnt know the car, I didnt know the team. Now I am very comfortable with the MP4-22 and over the winter I have made it my business to get to know every single member of the team.
Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen on how he nearly missed out on victory in Melbourne: On one occasion - just about ten laps before the end the race - I almost fell asleep! I got distracted, my concentration levels dropped a bit and I locked the wheels and took turn number 3 slightly too wide: even without radio I knew that they were saying: 'Kimi, wake up!
Heikki Kovalainen responds to criticism of his Grand Prix debut from Renault team principal Flavio Briatore: I was not happy with my race. I didnt need to be told that it was not good - I knew myself.
Ferrari CEO Jean Todt on his best moment as a team principal: Suzuka 2000, when Michael (Schumacher) won that drivers title that Ferrari had been chasing for 21 years. With Michael on the podium, we told ourselves our lives would never be the same again - and so it proved.
BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen on Formula One racings green future:
We should not call it green Formula One or green motorsport. We should emphasize that we see a chance to pioneer future technologies for road cars, which make road cars more environmentally friendly. But motorsport itself will never be green. It should be thought of as a pioneering role.
FIA President Max Mosley on customer cars: To me it's obvious you should have the customer cars. Whether you have four cars of a given make or two on the grid, it doesn't seem to matter. They will all look completely different anyway.
Frank Williams on customer cars: The learning curve is very painful. Very painful! So there is no way to allow a team with effectively no history in Formula One to spend the minimum amount of money and make other teams lose positions. This is not acceptable.
McLarens Lewis Hamilton on being so competitive, so soon into his Formula One career: Going into your first season you dont expect to be joint leading the drivers championship. It was only last year I was watching the Grands Prix. It is unreal.
Takuma Sato on finishing eighth for Super Aguri in Spain: Its fantastic. Our target this year was scoring a point, so the first step, job done.
Toyotas Jarno Trulli on Robert Kubicas big accident in Canada: I was struggling with tyre graining and lack of grip. Robert was quicker and I gave him the left-hand side of the track. The last time I saw him in my mirrors he was on that side, then I just got hit at the back and I have no idea what happened.
Spyker stand-in Markus Winkelhock on leading the European Grand Prix: To lead a Formula One race is something nobody can take away from you - you have it for your whole life. I am really happy about it - I was leading my home Grand Prix!
Red Bull reserve driver Robert Doornbos tells Formula1.com a secret: I spent a couple of hours at a police station when I was 12 for lighting up some fireworks in a shopping mall and as punishment I had to do 12 hours of community work. Oops!
American Scott Speed bows out of Formula One racing after Toro Rosso replace him with Sebastian Vettel for the rest of the season: Its been a great ride, but Im coming home. Over the past five years I have had the privilege of driving at the some of the most challenging and exciting racing circuits in the world. It has made me stronger, smarter and a better racer.
Williams driver Nico Rosberg on raising the teams pace: We have definitely improved and its not thanks to other people showing poor performance, its because we are doing a good job!
Toro Rosso co-owner Gerhard Berger on ditching Vitantonio Liuzzi for 2008: Tonio is a nice guy, but the atmosphere in the team has been quite strange this year - the team were not happy with the drivers and vice versa. So we wanted a change
Three-time world champion Niki Lauda on the pit-lane incident between Hamilton and Alonso in Hungary: What we saw in Budapest was normal business in team mate relations, as race drivers are groomed to be egocentric, spoiled brats. The only problem is that you have to do it in an intelligent way so you dont get caught, like Alonso.
Renaults Heikki Kovalainen on his debut podium: I have been there before but not in Formula One. It felt very good and now that the spell seems broken I want to be up there more often.
BMW Sauber team principal Mario Theissen on the FIAs verdict against McLaren: Some say the penalty is too grave, others that it is not grave enough. In my view the verdict gives the signal that was intended - not only to the team as a whole but to the single individual - that what was going on is unacceptable.
Hondas Jenson Button on his less-than satisfactory season: Its been a tough year - probably the toughest of my whole career. Its done now, its behind you. Its about not making the same mistakes again. If you make the same mistakes again, you are a fool. Its that simple.
Toro Rossos Sebastian Vettel on his lapse of judgement during the Japanese Grand Prix that dumped him - and Red Bulls Mark Webber - out of the race: It did take two or three days until I was able to breath normally again. We both were in fantastic positions and my guess is that we would have brought that two-three position home. It was inconceivable how hard that was to swallow.
Webber on the Fuji Speedway incident: I could not believe what happened here. This was not just about some dents but about two destroyed cars. If I had been fortunate he would have hit Lewis - but he hit me! Unbelievable.
Renaults Giancarlo Fisichella on talk of retirement: No way! I am as physically fit as a young boy - and I have the experience
FIA president Max Mosley on not stripping the McLaren drivers of their points after the team were found guilty of breaking the International Sporting Code: It was a decision of logic versus emotion. Logic would have demanded to slash all points, but emotion was not willing to wreck such an incredible championship with an armchair judgment.
Alexander Wurz announces his retirement: In such a hard fought environment as Formula One, I have always maintained that if you have a moments doubt about what you are doing, then it is time to stop. Privately I began to have these thoughts earlier this year and so have decided that now is the time.
Kimi Raikkonen on his championship joy: I am so happy it almost hurts! This is like a dream come true. This year I really enjoyed Formula One more than ever before.
Lewis Hamilton on losing out to the Finn: Obviously I am pretty disappointed. However I have to put the result into perspective, this is only my first year in Formula One and overall it has just been phenomenal. I am still very young and have plenty more years in me to achieve my dream of becoming world champion.
Three-time world champion Niki Lauda on Lewis Hamiltons debut season: He was fighting for the championship until the last race. A rookie en route to become world champion. A story almost too good to be true. His time will come.
Red Bulls uber-designer Adrian Newey on the espionage scandal: My personal opinion is that anything anyone can take with them in their head is fair game, but anything that is written or in electronic format is not.
Alonso on leaving McLaren: Since I was a boy I had always wanted to drive for McLaren, but sometimes in life things do not work out. I continue to believe that McLaren is a great team. I know there have been suggestions of favouritism, but in the end I was always provided with an equal opportunity to win.
New Honda team principal Ross Brawn on his first week at the Japanese team: I came here and found people who are very keen and very ambitious for the future. Their enthusiasm was almost palpable. I did not have to face a demoralized workforce - that would have been disappointing.
Force India co-owner Dr Vijay Mallya on his aspirations for the squad: I have given (the team) one very clear objective - at the 2010 Indian Grand Prix Force India has to be on the podium.

My name is Gabriel DeVine, and I'm a multi hyphenate professional living in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, CA. I was originally pursuing a career as an actor; along the way I became a certified personal trainer and soon thereafter, I discovered that I was more passionate about helping others achieve their goals than I was of pursuing a career in Hollywood. From there, I opened my own personal training studio where I can devote my time and resources to my client's goals, and am furthing my career with an education that will see me achieve (at least) an M.S. in Nutritional Science.
In terms of health, I was once obese, but have since become intensely focused on living an active and healthy lifestyle, which culminated with my decision to begin competing in amateur natural bodybuilding competitions; I plan on doing many more, and have my sights set on a pro card in one of the major natural organizations.
In addition, I am a founding partner of DeVine Works Limited, an internet marketing company achieving Google rankings as high as #1 for our client's most competitive keywords with over 100 sites that we currently manage.

Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa – Islam's third holiest site
According to Islamic tradition, during the year AD 621 Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, was in Mecca, and he had either a vision or an amazing bodily voyage called the "Night Journey."
Supposedly the angel Gabriel came to him with a winged horse named Buraq, which had a human face. Mounted on this strange animal, Mohammed flew through the air to Jerusalem (1,200 kilometres or 750 miles).
In Jerusalem on the Temple Mount Mohammed supposedly led other prophets who appeared such as Moses, Jesus, and Adam in prayer. (The Temple had been destroyed 551 years earlier in AD 70.)* Then supposedly Mohammed remounted Buraq and went up to the heavens into the presence of God, where he pleaded with God about having only five daily prayers. God had supposedly been demanding 50 daily prayers. After this it is said that Mohammed returned to Mecca and described his journey to others. Most people refused to believe him.
The Farthest Mosque
The site, on the southern extremity of the Temple Mount where Mohammed supposedly prayed during the "Night Journey," became known as the "farthest mosque," which is the Arabic meaning of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. The actual mosque was finished in AD 705 and it was rebuilt several times following earthquakes. According to tradition the golden "Dome of the Rock," which is beside the Al Aqsa Mosque, now covers the site where Mohammed supposedly went up to heaven.
Islam's Third Holiest Site
The Al Aqsa Mosque is said to be the third holiest religious site for most Muslims. According to one tradition, Mohammed himself said that an Islamic prayer done at the Kaaba in Mecca is worth 100,000 prayers; a prayer done in Medina is worth 1,000 prayers; and a prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is worth 500 prayers more than in any other location. (Of course, Christians do not think of prayer as having any value other than as a means of communion and communication.)
* Muslims prayed daily toward Jerusalem until AD 624 when Muslims began to pray toward Mecca.
Prayer Starters:
- Several thousand Muslims attend the weekly Friday prayers at the Al Aqsa mosque, which has an interior capacity of about 4,000 (tens of thousands pray on the esplanade outside during major religious events). For security reasons, the Israelis have restricted the attendance at Friday prayers to only older men who have families (some of them are the patriarchs of their families).
- Pray for the men who attend the Friday prayers. May God awaken their minds to want to know about what happened at Israel's ancient temple (especially Mt. 27:51). They need a revelation that only Jesus can truly lead men to the Father (John 14:6).
- Declare Jesus, the Son of God, the King of Israel also Lord over the Muslim men who come to pray (John 1:49).
- Pray for their families to also come into the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

I took up photography four years ago. At first I wanted to shove myself off a short cliff. This may seem like a drastic measure, but I assure you it made perfect sense to my frustrated mind. Learning how to use a DSLR and photoshop is a long, lonesome road – a dark time in my life I will not easily forget due to the tear-stained desk I sit at every day.
The thing I love most about photography besides being able to provide creative memories for family and friends, is how it inevitably changes the way you view the world around you.

continued Essex County 911 was in contact with the three male occupants of the airplane all of Westfield, N.J., who indicated they were in good condition. They provided coordinates of the crash site which were relayed to DEC Dispatch. When the coordinates were plotted on a map the site of the plane crash was near the summit of Nye Mountain, a trail-less High Peak just west of the Adirondack Loj.
Two DEC Forest Rangers initially responded to the Mount Jo Trailhead on the Adirondack Loj road and headed to the crash site on snowshoes and carrying cold weather gear for the crash victims. A second team of four Forest Rangers started a short while later carrying equipment for evacuating the three men.
A helicopter from the State Police Aviation Unit was also dispatched from the Lake Clear Airport but at 7:35 p.m. advised that they were unable to reach the crash site due to weather and darkness.
A Forest Ranger was in direct phone contact with the men at the crash site. They reported they had erected a tarp as a temporary shelter and put on extra clothing to attempt to stay warm.
At 10:50 p.m., Forest Rangers concluded that Nye Mountain location was not the correct location. At about this same time the first two Forest Rangers had hiked three miles to the crash site and confirmed there was no airplane present. Ranger determined the original coordinates were provided in atypical format. Plotting the coordinates in the standard format, Rangers determined the crash site was actually just west of Lake Placid near Big Burn Mountain.
The second group of forest rangers was redirected from Nye Mountain to Big Burn Mountain where they were joined by a another ranger. The Forest Rangers were able to reach the crash site by snowmobile via the Jack Rabbit Trail and bushwhacking on snowshoes the last half mile. The crash site was one mile from the road. The three men were located by the Forest Rangers at 1:55 a.m. The men were evacuated by snowmobile to the Whiteface Inn Road Trailhead where they were evaluated by the Lake Placid Rescue Squad. It was determined the men were fine and they declined any further medical treatment or transport.
