HoopsHype Andre Drummond rumors
The 19 players on the roster will train all week before a Friday night exhibition game. The roster could be cut to 15 players after camp, and the final 12 will be selected before the team leaves next month for the World Cup in Spain. It could be a stepping-stone to represent the U.S. at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. "He's a big, strong, young man with a terrific future, and he's got a great attitude to go along with it," U.S. managing director Jerry Colangelo said of Drummond recently. "Because size is important in international play, his rebounding, his shot-blocking ability makes him a candidate. It'll be interesting to see how much he's progressed since we saw him last when we had our camp last year." Detroit Free Press
Rose is trying to make the team after his NBA season was cut short by another knee operation. The rest of the roster: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson (Golden State), Kyrie Irving (Cleveland), Blake Griffin (Clippers), Paul George (Indiana), Damian Lillard (Portland), Gordon Hayward (Utah), DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento), Bradley Beal (Washington), Andre Drummond (Detroit), Kenneth Faried (Denver) and Kyle Korver (Atlanta). ESPN.com
The Roster: Bradley Beal, DeMarcus Cousins, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond, Kevin Durant, Kenneth Faired, Paul George, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, Kyle Korver, Damian Lillard, Kevin Love, Chandler Parson, Derrick Rose, Klay Thompson. CSNNW.com
The team reports to Las Vegas on July 27 under Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and is scheduled to play a showcase game Aug. 1 at the Thomas and Mack Center. From there, the players venture to Chicago for more training, Aug. 14-16, with a game at the United Center against Brazil at 8 p.m. Aug. 16. Drummond and crew then head to New York where they are scheduled to play games at Madison Square Garden against the Dominican Republic on Aug. 20 and Puerto Rico on Aug. 22. Then, Aug. 24-26, the hectic schedule shifts to Gran Canaria, Spain, with a game against Slovenia. Detroit Free Press
Greg Monroe and his agent David Falk visited a Detroit Pistons summer league practice Thursday, so Andre Drummond used it as something of a personal recruiting opportunity for his free-agent teammate. "He's got to go through his process of what he wants to do but I'd love to have him back," Drummond said about Monroe on Friday, on the eve of the Pistons' opening game at Orlando Pro Summer League. "I'd do whatever it takes to get him back. It comes down to what he wants to do. I told him, 'I can't stop you if you want to go.' But he loves it here (in Detroit), so I feel like he's going to come back." Booth Newspapers
Josh Robbins: Andre Drummond wanted to play in the Orlando Pro Summer League, according to Stan Van Gundy. But Drummond will not play. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Andre Drummond: Proud to announce I'm the newest member of #BrandJordan @jumpman23 #blessed instagram.com/p/pnUdZlyMQT/ Twitter @AndreDrummondd
Here's how Van Gundy responded when I asked him if he views a Monroe-Drummond combination as either (a) something that should give the Pistons an advantage nine games out of 10 at the offensive end or (b) not an ideal pairing, maybe, but one he can make work: "I think it is an ideal pairing," he said. "If I look at just the film I've watched now and looking at the numbers, you would say that Greg and Andre together were great offensively. That was a great combination on the offensive end of the floor, especially when the three guys around them were shooters – more conventional perimeter types. That worked very, very well. Now, it didn't work very well defensively. I think it puts a lot of responsibility on Greg Monroe to have to guard out on the perimeter. NBA.com
Van Gundy said that he has thought about how to use the Pistons' current roster most effectively and didn't rule out playing big men Drummond, Monroe and Josh Smith together, but did hint it probably wouldn't be the normal lineup. "I don't think there's any doubt that there's going to be situations where you could use those three guys together," he said. "The question is, is that going to be your predominant lineup?"

Did the NBA move too quickly in eliminating the center position on the All-Star ballot? At least one NBA executive believes so. "I wouldn't call it a renaissance because they don't play the position quite the same way, but the position is stocked with young quality players," he said, ticking off Andre Drummond, DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Jordan and Jonas Valanciunas coming up behind Joakim Noah, Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez, Al Jefferson, Roy Hibbert and Marc Gasol. Bleacher Report
Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond said he was "a little sore," but OK after tests were negative on the neck injury he suffered tonight against the Indiana Pacers. He was wearing neck brace after a brief trip to the hospital as a precaution in the locker room after the Pistons' 112-104 loss at the Palace. The team says Drummond was taken to the hospital for further testing after leaving the game at the 6:32 mark of the first quarter. Detroit Free Press
We reached out to Drummond, who could not have been more adamant he's not to blame -- saying, "I did NOT leak any photos of JM." TMZ.com
We spoke to Andre who tells us, "I found [Jennette's comments] funny. There's a lot of false info in there, but I'll be the mature person about the situation and let it die out." Andre also posted a Vine video moments ago that seems to be a response to the story in which he says, "Sometimes you gotta live and learn by the mistakes you make. You gotta move on and keep pushing." TMZ.com

Fake Enamel Pendant
By: Patricia Kimle for Jacquard Products
Enamel is lovely, but it is very expensive. Create a beautiful piece of jewelry at a fraction of the cost with this craft idea from Jacquard Products.
- Gold Premo! Sculpey polymer clay
- Black Premo! Sculpey polymer clay
- Jacquard Piñata inks in variety of colors
- Jacquard Pearl Ex - Aztec Gold
- Spray mist bottle with water
- Speedball Speedy Stamp carving block
- Carving tool
- Plastic palette tool
- Liquid Sculpey
- Clay blade
- Glass or plastic sheet for palette
- 2" 19g. gold wire
- Envirotex Lite two-part epoxy resin
- Rubber cording and closure findings
- Gold accent bead
- Carve a variety of doodle patterns in the rubber stamp. Drawing with a pencil first can help you plan the space. Carve lines about 1/16th of an inch deep.
- Mist the stamp surface with a spray of water. Roll about 1/4 of a block of gold clay into a sheet 1/16" thick. Press the clay onto the stamp, pressing firmly over the entire surface.
- Trim the sheet to a pleasing shape, being mindful of the composition created by the changing areas of pattern.
- Dust the surface thoroughly with Aztec Gold Pearl Ex powder. Bake the sheet according to the manufacterer's recommendations on the clay package.
- While the clay is baking, squeeze several nickel-sized pools of Liquid Sculpey onto the palette. Tint each with one-two drops of Piñata ink. Stir with plastic palette knife. These colors can also be blended and mixed to create intermediate shades.
- When the clay is cool, drizzle colors into the various pattern areas on the surface. Try blending colors and adding tiny amounts of contrast colors into some areas. Bake the clay for 10 minutes or cure the Liquid Sculpey surface with an embossing heat tool.
- Press additional clay to the back of the pendant shape and bevel the edges to create a rounded back. This clay can be scrap clay or any color.
- Roll a sheet of black clay 1/16" thick and slightly larger than the pendant. Press the black to the back and wrap smoothly to the front.
- Trim the excess clay from the front even with the plane of the surface. Bake the pendant again.
- Finish with a coating of epoxy resin, following package directions carefully. After the finish has cured, drill a 1/2" deep hole in the top and glue in a hangman's loop eyepin and accent bead. String on black rubber or satin cord.

Tabb: Our display was laughable
Tabb, who was moved to an unfamiliar left-back position to cover for the unfit Ryan Bertrand, felt the Royals should have easily beaten Scunthorpe to move them further from the drop zone. "It's a joke," the 25-year-old told the Reading Evening Post. "We should have been 3-0 up at half-time but we should be good enough to keep a clean sheet at 1-0 as well and the gaffer told us that. "We played so well and created so many chances, it's a joke really. "You've got to be good enough to hold off at 1-0 but we've also got to be good enough to go 2-0 up. We've got to be mentally stronger, it's a bitter pill to swallow really."

Garrard to be starting QB; Jags to trade or release Leftwich
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One of coach Jack Del Rio's first decisions with the Jacksonville Jaguars was drafting Byron Leftwich.
One of his toughest was letting him go.
Del Rio and the Jaguars said Friday they are parting ways with Leftwich after four frustrating, injury-filled seasons. They hope to trade him but are resigned to releasing the former first-round draft pick.
"To make a decision this bold requires some strong conviction, and I have that," Del Rio said.
Del Rio also chose mobile backup David Garrard as his starter heading into next week's season opener against Tennessee, saying Garrard gives the team a better chance to win.
Clayton: Strange Timing
Jack Del Rio has been wanting to sack Bryon Leftwich for a long time. Even though Leftwich isn't noted for his mobility or his ability to avoid the sack, Leftwich had to be blindsided by the way Del Rio sacked him as the Jaguars starting quarterback.
Following the team's fourth pre-season game, Del Rio named David Garrard as the starter and designated Leftwich for reassignment. If the Jaguars can't work out a trade in the next few days, Leftwich will be released, according to Del Rio. No one around the NFL is surprised Del Rio would make this move. Del Rio didn't get along with Leftwich and vice versa.
The stunner is the timing. How do you go through a training camp and four pre-season games preparing one quarterback and then making a switch at the end? Unless he was handcuffed by ownership or management, Del Rio should have given Garrard the job from the start of the season. Del Rio yanked the starting job from Leftwich last year using Leftwich's chronic ankle problems as the reason.
Leftwich had his surgery and found out his ankle hadn't been right since his final year at Marshall. Though he felt better, Leftwich had mobility issues that scarred Jaguars coaches. Face it, Leftwich isn't mobile. He's never going to be. In many ways, he's like Drew Bledsoe, a quarterback who took a lot of sacks. Unlike Bledsoe, Leftwich suffered injuries that cost him games and starts.
With Leftwich gone, Del Rio's fate as the Jaguars coach is in Garrard's hand. Most scouts considered Garrard one of the league's best backups. But the book on backups is they are good enough to win a team three games, but you start him six, they can lose a team three games. Last year, the Jaguars were 5-5 with Garrard as the starter.
If that record happens again, Del Rio may be looking for a job next season. A .500 record will probably lead to a coaching change. With a good running game and some top defensive personal, the Jaguars should challenge the Colts for the AFC South.
But how much of a talent gap have they created in the division. Peyton Manning is perhaps the game's best quarterback. Vince Young was Rookie of the Year and should be one of the AFC's elite. The Texans staked their future on Matt Schaub.
•  Strahan ends holdout
-- John Clayton, senior NFL writer
"I believe David is our guy," Del Rio said. "He's proven to be a playmaker for us. He can be a threat both throwing and running it. We believe he's really improved during this offseason, and I feel he's earned this opportunity.
"He has a quick release, good feet and really has done a nice job of taking his game to another level," Del Rio said.
Garrard outplayed Leftwich in the preseason, completing 36-of-47 passes for 456 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a score. But his numbers came primarily against second-team defenses.
"It's bittersweet news," said Garrard, who has started 18 games in five years as a backup in Jacksonville. "I'm definitely shocked. I didn't see this happening. I'm beyond shocked. I really feel like this is a dream, but I know it's not and I know I'm ready."
Leftwich, who missed 10 games last season because of an ankle injury, was 19-of-38 for 226 yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. He misfired on several passes, badly overthrew Dennis Northcutt on two deep routes against Green Bay and continued to show sloppy mechanics with his feet and throwing motion.
Making Del Rio's decision a bit easier, Leftwich hasn't played a full season since being the seventh overall selection in the 2003 draft. But the former Marshall star felt he was in the best shape of his life following ankle surgery and a rigid offseason conditioning program.
Del Rio seemed to agree, making Leftwich his starter in February and backing him every day since -- until now.
"Over the last five years, Byron was given every opportunity to lead this football team," Del Rio said. "We've gone through the entire offseason, training camp, preseason, and during that time, it became very apparent to me that David was the best choice for us, the best selection for us to lead this football team."
Leftwich is in the final year of his contract, so releasing him would not cost the team anything extra against the salary cap in 2007.
But it would leave the Jags with little room for injury at that position. Third-stringer Quinn Gray, who played well in the preseason finale after missing most of camp because of a sprained ankle, will move into the No. 2 spot.
The Jaguars are also trying to acquire a veteran quarterback to serve as a backup and may turn to former Jacksonville QB Mark Brunell.
"I'm comfortable with the two quarterbacks we have right now," Del Rio said.
Getting rid of Leftwich will end a somewhat turbulent four-year relationship with Del Rio. Leftwich openly questioned Del Rio's decisions, and Del Rio felt the quarterback lied to him several times about his health.
"This was a football decision," Del Rio said. "Any of those types of peripheral issues only helps or hinder, but they're not at the root of what this decision is about."
Leftwich has completed nearly 59 percent of his passes for 9,042 yards, with 51 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. He started 13 games as a rookie and then missed two games in 2004 with an injured left knee.
He missed five games the following year because of his oft-injured left ankle, the same one that cost him most of last season.
Garrard, 10-8 as a starter, has completed 58 percent of his passes for 3,543 yards, with 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
"I'm sure it will be tough for a lot of guys," Garrard said. "The timing of it was really weird. ... It was tough for me, too. But I've been given the opportunity to lead this team and I want to make sure I do it."
Information from ESPN's Chris Mortensen and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Saw the dance done in las vegas. Fits the music well and is easy enough for low intermediates. Nice, upbeat song!
Jack - 21/03/2003
Yet another dance with multiple tags. If choreographers can't be bothered to find music that fits their dance without tags, then I can no longer be bothered doing the dance. A MISS as far as I'm concerned.
Don't Fight It
David of Lincoln Lone Stars - 21/03/2003
Being doing this dance a while but unfortunately still haven't got around to teaching it. First time I heard the music, I hated it but it soon grows and its a great little dance. In my opinion, the tag in this dance is one of the hardest to spot, although simple to do its so easily missed off!

Well done Karen, Nice little dance that all the class like right from the start, even the beginners got on ok with it so gets the thumbs up for us
Susan Groves - 20/03/2003
I love the dance, but have come across a difference of opinion in the teaching of a couple of steps in Section 2: Counts: &5-6, &7-8. The step forward right, should it be a huge step forward, or a smallish step. I personally favour the smallish step forward. Normally the choreographers will write; Large step forward; if they want the step exagerated. Does anybody know please?

Love the dance- love the music. I would give it 10 boots if they would let me.

Lovley little dance, not to taxing on the brain and nice music. One of those were you can sing along with the music while not having to concentrate on the steps too much. All in all a good dance. Weel done Fi & Johnny.

I happen to be using gdm-2.18.4 (as previously reported, I loathe the behaviour of gdm-2.{20,22} when I shut down, and I gave up adding dependencies to build 2.24, there were just too many things I don't want to use). For 2.18.4, my logs show gdm-de.omf is referenced twice, the first of which created the .out version: make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/gdm-2.18.4/docs/de' for file in gdm-de.omf; do \ scrollkeeper-preinstall /usr/share/gnome/help/gdm/de/gdm.xml ./$file $file.out; \ done; \ touch omf_timestamp make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gdm-2.18.4/docs/de' I imagine 2.19.1 will be pretty similar for this. So, either you are missing scrioolkeeper, and/or your build system failed to report an error. Looking a bit further in my log, I will guess that the Makefile is not concerned about xml failures - In 2.18.4 this is the first of several translations. I now see that my 'make' reported undefined entities (% and —) for zh_TW, es, uk but those didn't prevent the build or install and anyway I can't read Taiwanese, Spanish, or Ukrainian. If you are on BLFS-6.3, the versions in the book should work. If you aren't, use the series which matches the rest of your gnome build. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

But more than a third still reluctant to direct individuals to private sector
GPs are becoming increasingly likely to ask patients whether they have private medical insurance (PMI), according to the results of a survey.
A poll of more than 1,000 GPs across the UK by Spire Healthcare, the private hospital group, found that 54% of doctors report feeling comfortable when directing patients to private treatment, irrespective of whether they have PMI.
However, 36% say they still feel uncomfortable about doing this.
The survey also found that 58% of doctors say they are asking more patients if they have PMI than they were six months ago.
When respondents were asked the same question a year ago, that proportion was just 24%.
Dr Jean-Jacques de Gorter, clinical services director for Spire Healthcare, said that by encouraging patients to use their PMI, GPs can save the NHS a significant amount of money and help make the most of their NHS budgets.
He said: "It's good to see more and more GPs asking their patients about private treatment. The private sector has an important role to play working alongside our excellent national healthcare system in the UK."
Charlie MacEwan, corporate communications director at WPA, the insurer, said it is not surprising to hear more doctors are asking patients about medical insurance.
He said commissioning and the NHS Choose and Book system – an electronic referral service which gives patients a choice of place, date and time for their first outpatient appointment in a hospital or clinic – have put private healthcare on GPs' radars.
MacEwan said: "The NHS is undergoing massive change and you only need to see the headlines to understand how challenged it is, so patients are reviewing their options and raising the subject with their GPs."
He added that it was particularly noteworthy to see that 36% of GPs feel uncomfortable about directing patients to private treatment.
He said: "They need to understand that private healthcare supplements and complements the great work of the NHS rather than competing with it."
The findings come after the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) announced its decision in April to refer the private healthcare market to the Competition Commission for further investigation, because in its view the market "could work better" for patients.
The OFT said at the time that there are "reasonable grounds" for suspecting that there are features of the market that prevent, restrict or distort competition.
It said there is a lack of easily comparable information available to patients and their GPs on the quality and costs of private healthcare services, meaning that competition between private healthcare providers and between consultants is "not as effective as it could be".
In the months leading up to the decision, the private healthcare market had generated heated debate between hospitals, medical insurers and consultants and doctors.
In December 2011, Bupa announced it would be de-listing a number of BMI Healthcare hospitals in a row over pricing.
The Federation of Independent Practitioner Organisations has since accused Bupa of removing choice from patients through its cost containment strategies, arguing in a letter published in the Financial Times that the strategy directs patients to a shortlist of specialists, rather than allowing them to be treated by one recommended by their GP.

In its latest study, Pew set out to determine what types of people use and value public libraries. It compared highly engaged, "library lovers" and "information omnivores" to those who have never used a library, people dubbed "distant admirers" and "off the grid." According to Pew, 30 percent of Americans are in those first two categories. Another 39 percent are considered to have "medium engagement" with libraries, even though only half of those have used a library in the past year.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Peaks Island is the most populous island in Casco Bay, Maine. It is part of the city of Portland and is approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) from downtown. The island became a popular summer destination in the late 19th century, when it was known as the Coney Island of Maine, home to hotels, cottages, theaters, and amusement parks.[1]
While small, the island hosts a variety of businesses including an ice cream parlor, restaurant, markets, kayak rentals, golf cart rentals, and art galleries, The Fifth Maine Regiment Museum and the Umbrella Cover Museum, among others.[2]
Hollywood film director John Ford was known as "The Mayor of Peaks Island" because of his great affinity for the island. He vacationed there from boyhood through the early 1960s, worked as an usher at the Gem Theater and was a deckhand on the Casco Bay Lines ferries in his youth. Ford's relatives still live on the island.[citation needed]
Besides the Gem, which featured famous performers including the Barrymore family, two other summer theaters were located on the island. One, the Pavilion, opened in 1887, is said to be the first summer theater in the country. The Greenwood Garden Amusement Park sported the Greenwood Garden Playhouse.
George M. Cohan tried his productions out at the island's theaters before taking them to Broadway. Circa 1908, D.W. Griffith was torn between continuing to appear in plays produced at the island's playhouses as he frequently did or heading to Hollywood. Jean Stapleton's first professional appearance in the summer of 1941 was in a production at Greenwood Garden. Martin Landau also made his professional stage debut in a 1951 production of "Detective Story" at Greenwood Garden where for several seasons he was a resident cast member.
Most of the hotels were lost to fires over the years. The Gem Theater was destroyed by fire on September 7, 1934. 17 buildings burned to the ground on June 2, 1936, including the new Union House Hotel. The only original hotel structure remaining on the island is the Avenue House, which has been converted into condominiums.
During World War II, the island was home to a large military defense installation, including the largest structure, Battery Steele, which housed two 16 inch (406 mm) guns. When Battery Steele's guns were first tested, windows on the opposite side of the island shattered.[3]
According to the 2000 census, Peaks Island is home to 843 year-round residents, with a summer population that swells to an estimated 2,000-4,000, with many day-trippers.[4] The island is served by Casco Bay Lines and is home to its own elementary school, library, and police station.
There have been at least six significant movements for Peaks to secede from the city of Portland: in 1883, 1922, 1948, 1955, 1992, and another effort in the period 2004 to 2011.[5] The most recent effort grew out of a revaluation of all properties in the municipality, when average property taxes on Peaks Island increased by over 200 percent.[6] Shortly thereafter, a group of island residents organized a committee to investigate seceding from Portland and forming a separate town.[7] A successful petition drive put the issue to an island-wide vote on June 13, 2006.[8] Of a total of 683 votes, over 57 percent were in favor of further exploring secession.[9][10]
The Portland City Council unanimously opposed secession.[11] The council and the secession group, after arguing over whether to hold talks in public or private, failed to negotiate terms.[12][13] In February 2007 the secession group obtained sponsorship for legislation in the Maine State Legislature to incorporate the Town of Peaks Island, subject to a successful referendum.[14][15][16] After vigorous debate, the bill was narrowly tabled, "dead" in committee as of May 14, 2007.[17]
As a result of the secession fight and the urging of state legislators, the Portland City Council agreed to create a seven-member Peaks Island Council for direct liaison.[18] But in 2010 most members of the Peaks Island Council resigned, expressing frustration about Portland's perceived unwillingness to work with them.[19] With only write-in candidates taking the vacant seats the Council ceased to fulfill its function.[20] Ongoing discussions between the Council's former Chair and city officials about establishing some degree of autonomy, such as creating a village corporation within the city, proved unproductive.[21]
As a result of a change in the Maine legislature from Democratic to Republican control the secession effort regained momentum, with a new bill providing for a January 2012 island-wide vote on secession introduced in 2011.[22] However, hearings showed an apparent lack of consensus among the islanders.[23] The State and Local Government Committee rejected the bill, on the ground that the secession leaders had not followed the legal process: they would need to start over with signature gathering and another referendum.[24]
Beginning in the summer of 2009, 17-year-old Matt Rand, a summer resident of the island, offered rides to residents and tourists in his family's electric golf cart. Because Rand did not charge a fare and was compensated only in tips, he could legally operate without a taxi license or costly liability insurance.[25] The Peaks Island Transportation System found itself losing business to a competitor with less overhead, and took its complaints to the Portland City Council. On August 16, 2010, the Council voted 5-3 in favor of amending the city's taxi definition to include tip-only services, which effectively put Rand out of business. Ousted from his golf cart taxi service, Rand returned to school at Tufts University.[26] The situation was covered extensively by TV, print, online media outlets in Maine, and on national talk radio.[25]

My research program is informed by a critical social science perspective—one that considers the organisation of health systems within their social, political, legal and economic contexts. A fundamental question is: what is the logic of systems, and that informs and drives the diverse sets of actors that constitute systems? My methodological expertise lies in qualitative research methods, systematic reviews, and knowledge translation and exchange.
In the spring of 2013, I was awarded (with Co-Director Emile Tompa), a $2.78M SSHRC Partners Grant to create a 7-year national Canadian program of research on work disability policy. Our newly created Centre for Research on Work Disability Policy assembles a multidisciplinary group of 51 researchers and 46 partners (state, community, labour) to consider the challenge of our fragmented Canadian work disability system. The ultimate goal of the centre's research program is to improve public policy that fosters paid labour-market engagement of all people, including when injured or disabled.
Much of my research has focused on how state occupational health and safety systems for injury prevention and disability management are designed and operate (including vocational retraining systems, return-to-work systems). I am currently leading a study of the Ontario system of sending inspectors to inspect workplaces for compliance with occupational health and safety law. This empirical study, with a multidisciplinary team and qualitative and legal data and analyses, is complimented by a concurrent systematic review that I am leading of qualitative peer-reviewed literature on implementation of regulatory levers to protect workers from occupational injury.
Health systems need to be relevant to local organizational contexts, and implementable. I have focused a part of my research on how occupational health systems fit with and are implemented in particularly challenging work organisation contexts (studies of the boom-and-bust software sector, small businesses, the temp agency sector with the three-way employment situation) and for complex, poorly understood health conditions (repetitive strain injury).

Promoting films at colleges is helping the Telugu film industry
When Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra visited a city college to promote Anjaana Anjaani a couple of years ago, it created quite a flutter. Students and faculty alike were excited, while the media went into a tizzy trying to capture the mood and the moment. Today, that trend is catching on strong in the Telugu film industry, with most film units making the rounds of city colleges before the release of their movie. Take for instance, Sesh Adivi's K.I.S.S, Madhura Sreedhar's Backbench Students or Mohan Krishna Indraganti's Anthaka Mundu Aa Tarvatha; all of them were promoted at various city colleges.
What was earlier a marketing ploy by Bollywood, with people like Ayushmann Khurrana, Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra visiting colleges, has now been recognised as an effective business tool by Telugu filmmakers as well. Earlier Telugu films like Oh My Friend and Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum also made the rounds of city colleges, paving the way for the newer crop of films.
Actor and filmmaker Sesh Adivi, who went to several colleges across the state before the release of his film K.I.S.S., says that while it might not always be easy to get the go-ahead from college administration, visiting colleges is a good business decision. "There were two reasons why I approached colleges to promote my film. First, the students belong to my generation and they might understand my thoughts better. Second, it is purely a business decision. The first week is extremely important for any film these days, what with piracy plaguing the industry. And it is the youngsters who go in large groups to watch films during the opening week. So it makes sense to visit colleges for promotional activity," he explains.
While most film units show students the rushes and talk them through the making of the movie, filmmaker Madhura Sreedhar turned his promotional activity into a learning experience for students of an engineering college before the release of his film Backbench Students. "It makes sense to promote films in a college if its concept appeals to youngsters. Since Backbench Students was about engineering students, we approached Muffakham Jah Engineering College to promote the film there. We had the cast of the film sit through a class with the students. But what I also did was take a one hour session on alternative careers for engineering students in the entertainment industry," he says.
With most city colleges now offering courses in media, the administrators are not shying away from hosting film units. "But they should have something educational to offer as well. For instance, we had Adivi Sesh, who did come, but spoke to the students about some aspects of filmmaking before promoting his film," says Cinny Annie Sunny, the HOD of Mass Communications at St. Francis Degree College.
"We have had Ayushmann Khurrana, Uday Kiran and Sesh Adivi visit our college to promote their films," says Fareeha Mohammed, Mass Communications lecturer at Villa Marie College for Women. "While these sessions might not always be very useful from the education point of view they are fun for the students. Besides, both parties – the college and the film unit – benefit in terms of publicity. Sometimes the filmmakers share some insights with the students about the making of a film, which could help those who are interested in filmmaking," she adds.

One Step in the Crowds | E1 5b | ||
A worthwhile trip up the left-hand side of the buttress. It gets a bit squeezed at the top, hence the name. 1) 5b, 30m. Start up the groove (as for Creagh Dhu Wall) but move left into the steep groove and up it to a roof. Move right and up to the big overhang then traverse out left to get stood on a rib. Above, the main roof beckons, but the moves are perplexing. Pull right, then back left to a small stance below a crack a little higher. 2) 5b, 25m. Cracks and a groove lead to the roof. Pull over the right-hand edge of this, then move left round the arete for an independent finish, or join Creagh Dhu Wall. © ROCKFAX

I took first reading for my mead , it was Potential alcohol by weight : 5%, Specific gravity. : 1.042, Percent sugar. : 10% Now it's alcohol : 6%, sp : 1.046, Sugar 12%. I thought it should be other way round. I tasted the wine, it was sweet n little sour. Help!!!!!!!
There was no mold and it tasted fine. Should I be worried? It's been 10 days. It's only honey and water.
Ignore all the scales on the hydrometer except the SG scale. Depending on how much honey you used, in the total volume size, it might not have been completely in solution when you took the first gravity sample. Depending on how long it's been going will determine more things. What honey and yeast did you add/use in this? If it has a sour flavor to it, you probably have an infection IF you really want to make mead, and not just jerk around at it, look at the info on the Got Mead? forums.
I used wild flower honey without any yeast.
I used 1 to 6 ratio with water. I think the little sour might be because of the bacteria that converted the alcohol into acetic acid. Usually the specific gravity increases or decreases in the fermented mead ?
I am pretty sure that raw honey has the yeast itself. We add more yeast just to speed up the fermentation. Naturally water content is less than 17% , once we increases that after diluting, fermentation starts with lots of shaking initially.

All of the details of Kim and Kanye's baby are finally available, because little North West's birth certificate has been released! She doesn't even have a middle name — click to see the official document.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby girl was officially named North West (no middle name), and the rest of the precious daughter's birth info is now available after the birth certificate was released.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Baby's Birth Certificate
The official document was signed by just mom Kim, although both of the parents' full names appear on the certificate — Kimberly Noel Kardashian and dad Kanye Omari West. The girl's name is officially North West, but the slot for the middle name was left blank!
Baby North's birth certificate confirms that she was born at 5:34 A.M. on June 15, but Kim didn't sign the document until three days later on June 18. She was probably too busy holed up in her maternity suite with her baby girl!
Kim Kardashian's Baby Name Revealed — Fans React On Twitter
Just hours after the official name North West was revealed, fans took to Twitter to reveal their thoughts on the moniker. Not surprisingly, most of them were negative. Some fans wrote:
'So I'm assuming that North West won't be a One Direction fan?' @Lord_Voldemort7 tweeted.
'Make fun of Kim's name choice for North West if u want, but that baby is going straight to the top.. And slightly to the left,' Jake Warrington joked.
'Kanye and Kim named their child North West. Suddenly, the 146 parents who named their kid 'Khaleesi' seem normal," Arda Ocal tweeted, referencing the Game Of Thrones character.
'So is Kim Kardashian's vag now called the North West passage?' Troll Cat jokingly asked.
Looks like the name North West is official! What do YOU think of the birth certificate, HollyMoms?

Just saying......

Be mindful of everything you do and say. Children learn by example. Give her the opportunity to blossom. Art, music, dance. guide North to the window of opportunities and gently lead her into the wonderful feeling of self esteem and confidence when she lesrns to dance or sing or draws a beautiful picture. Educate, educate educte. Good grammer is essential. Communicate. Talk about her day, her friends, her teachers. Every child either wants or needs a pet. having a pet is a lesson learned of responsibility, unconditional love and respect. Do not mix this up by being over domineering. This is a baby, a blank canvas. Don't botch it up! Best to keep Kris from spinning her each and every move. Sadly Kris doesn't get that a child can be happy just being a child. Don't over do!Send her to Sunday School. Teach her right and wrong. No gray areas. Exagerating the truth is not the truth. Only leads to lies and easy outs.
Don't botch this up. You only get one chance. That is, of course you are ready for another. Not thinking that will happen. Pray this child doesn't ever read about her mother's pathetic pregnancy, wearing black every day. Very joyful.
A child is joy, pure inmocent joy. Bright colors, forget the electronic stuff. Tinker toys. Jacks, pick up sticks. Hop scotch roller skating or ice skating. Snow skiing, swimming. Sports are so important.
working as a team, depending on each other.,Life lessons! Let her select her friends. it's not who you know, it's who you are. Let her build her own ladders. Be there if she falls. Pick her up and throw her back in. No excuse for quitters. Lt's see, what else. Tired, going to bed.
Rules. Strict rules, bedtime, play time, home work time, creative time. Cooking, cleaning, landry, ironing. sewing. Every girl should know how to cok,and sew. Maeit fun! If it is fun they will always enjoy it, take the fun out of it and you have creatd a task. Ok, on younmark! get set, go!
Do the right thing. Keep her as far away from thenlime light as you can. She and younwill know when she is ready to shine!
Buena suerte!

Paula: I 150% agree with you. I too do not watch their Krap or buy their Krap. This whole family is an Abomination and a very very poor representation of the American family. Unfortunately the networks are making them famous because of a sex tape and insodoing young naive girls think that in life what you have to do is a sex tape and you would become famous and rich. Not so. It is very very sad that this is the world we live in where bad behavior is the norm now. MB

Do not call me a hater. I am entitled to have my opinion and I think the guy is ugly! what about his eyes?! The guy is ugly, has the voice of a "maricon", he is very narcissistic and I just don´t like the whole package. I don´t even care about what you like or not…however I would not call you a hater because your opinion is different of mine. the way you react to other people´s opinion shows here who is the hater. By the way I don´t loose my time watching the karTRASHians, it´s something for those who really do not have a life and expect to forget their frustrations by living through others…the problem is, them empower those people and then we are forced to fight against dumbs and company…

The Kardashians did not want "Donda" as any name on their grandchild—–much too black for that crew. The girls will f–k and marry wealthy black men, but they do not want their children to have "black" names or "black" texture hair. Kim's friends keep reporting that the baby has a lot of black, STRAIGHT hair. I feel that this is an insult to Kanye and his African-American heritage! So rude, so rude. I am speaking as a biracial woman, so those tacky remarks are both hurtful and infuriating!
Posted at 5:42 PM on June 21, 2013
If the guy is black, the girl is black too.
So the hair it´s not going to be straight hair. If the KarTRASHians don´t like it, well, they´ll have a problem, and this problem will be aggravated because the father is not a good looking guy.
She should have thought about this before…if that´s a problem to her.

How did they obtain this exactly is what I also want to know. First its a loose lipped nurse saying kaidence and now this? Did the hospital just blindly hand this out. I cant believe they would name their kid this. One thing we should all consider is that this is the information age and anything can be copied reproduced and successfully used. Im holding on to a thin shred of hope that they werent stupid enough to call their kid that. If not, they need to hurry up and give it up. Say the real name already.

Abstract | Error processing is reflected, behaviorally, by slower reaction times (RT) on trials immediately following an error (post-error). Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) fail to show RT slowing and demonstrate increased intra-subject variability (ISV) on post-error trials. The neural correlates of these behavioral deficits remain unclear. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) are key regions implicated in error processing and subsequent behavioral adjustment. We hypothesized that children with ADHD, compared to typically developing (TD) controls, would exhibit reduced PFC activation during post-error (versus post-correct inhibition) trials and reduced dACC activation during error (versus correct inhibition) trials. |

About SWAP
SWAP gives independent advice to adults about opportunities to access higher education. There are many adults who have the potential to succeed at university, but missed out first time round, for whatever reason. Our friendly staff can give advice if you want to access higher education but lack the necessary qualifications.
Is this really for me?
Is this really for me?
Many adults think that they can't get into university because they don't have the school qualifications necessary. You may feel that you are too old, or its just not for you. But just because no one in your family or no one from your community has gone to university, doesn't mean that it's not for you. What you may not realise is that you will have built up a range of skills through previous work experience, or from bringing up a family, and these may be the exact skills that universities are looking for (e.g. being able to communicate effectively with others, work in teams and solve problems). A Scottish Wider Access Programme develops these skills and prepares you to succeed in higher education. To be eligible as a SWAP student, you must have been out of full-time education for at least 3 years (or 5 years if you have an NC or Highers)
I'm probably too old.
You are never too old to learn. Even if you have been at work (or out of work) for years, or lack formal qualifications, you can still get into Higher Education. SWAP programmes run in colleges all over Scotland. They are designed specifically for adults and can lead to a wide range of university and college opportunities.
32,000+ have done it!
Since the launch of SWAP in 1987/8 more than 32,000 adults have taken the SWAP route to return to study. SWAP programmes, based in local colleges, are designed specifically for adults who lack the required entry qualifications for university. Dedicated staff are available at colleges to give guidance and support on your progress, and to give advice on taking the next step to higher education. There's probably a programme designed to get you to where you want to go.
SWAP programmes have helped many adults realise their potential and given them the confidence to succeed in college or university. If they can do it, so can you!
To see a list of the programmes offered in your area, select the region of Scotland where you live (SWAP East is based in Edinburgh; SWAP West is based in Glasgow).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Guido /ˈɡwiːdoʊ/ is a slang term, often derogatory, for a working-class urban Italian American. The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Originally, it was used as a demeaning term for Italian Americans in general. More recently, it has come to refer to Italian Americans who conduct themselves in an overtly macho manner.[1] The time period in which it obtained the latter meaning is not clear, but some sources date it to the 1970s or 1980s.[2][3][4]
The word "guido" is derived from either the proper name "Guido" or the verb "guidare" (to drive). Fishermen of Italian descent were once often called "Guidos" in medieval times.[5]
The term is used in metropolitan areas associated with large Italian-American populations, such as New York, Ohio, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey.[6] In other areas, terms such as "Mario" (Chicago) and "Gino" (Toronto) have a meaning similar to guido.[4] Although some Italians self-identify as "guidos", the term is often considered derogatory or an ethnic slur.[4][7]
The term caused controversy in 2009 when MTV used the term in promotions for the reality television show Jersey Shore.[4] This spurred objections from Italian-American organizations such as Unico National, NIAF, the Order Sons of Italy in America,[8][9] and the Internet watchdog organization ItalianAware.[10][11] Although MTV removed the term from some promotions, it remains closely associated with the show, and some of the cast members use it regularly to describe themselves while the females sometimes refer to themselves as a "guidette."[4]
Clothing associated with the stereotype includes gold chains[1] (often herringbones chains, Figaro chains, cornicellos, or saint medallions), pinky rings, working class clothing such as plain T-shirts, muscle shirts[12] or "guinea Ts", leather jackets, sweat or tracksuits, scally caps, unbuttoned dress shirts, and often typical Italian "terrone" or "truzzo" club dress. Slicked-back hair and pompadours,[3] blowouts, tapers, poofs, fades and heavily pomaded or gelled hair[2] are also common stereotypes. In regards to Italian-American women associated with the stereotype or subculture, The New York Times in 2013 described bridge and tunnel female clubgoers traveling to Manhattan via the Staten Island Ferry on a Saturday evening as wearing "a kaleidoscope of cheetah print, high heels, higher heels and assorted renderings of the Italian flag."[13]

Burns: Give Arms to Ukraine, More NATO Cover to Baltics—and Leadership for Europe
President Barack Obama has given space for Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel to lead recently in the Western response to Russia's war on Ukraine. But it's now time for the US president to take the reins back, writes former Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns.
The evidence is in the results of the cease-fire deal that Chancellor Merkel led in negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin promptly violated this second truce, as he did the first one, five months earlier. Again, he used the "cease-fire" as cover to seize new territory with his proxy forces in Donbas. With Ukraine's courageous, half-equipped, patched-together army bloodied and short on essential weaponry, the way is open for the next Russian offensive.
Political divisions at the top are key drivers of today's uncertainty, and they include acrimony among party leaders, frictions created by institutional and government changes, and impending personnel turnover. Bickering over monetary policy not only reveals disunity, but also undermines the economic success that has greatly bolstered the party's fortunes at the polls. Regional and international risks round out the picture. While no one doubts that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will remain Turkey's head of state, and that the AK Party he founded will remain in power, the country's ride over the coming year will be a rough one.
Rivals and international community lack political will to end crisis, says Atlantic Council's Pham
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and his former Vice President Riek Machar failed to resolve their differences by the March 5 deadline not only because they lack the political will to do so, but also because the international community lacks the will to make them, says J. Peter Pham, the Atlantic Council's lead Africa analyst.Kiir and Machar signed a ceasefire deal in February that was intended to be a step toward a power-sharing agreement.
The two sides faced a March 5 deadline to work out the details of that agreement, which was supposed to pave the way for setting up a transitional government. The deadline passed with no deal. The talks have now been indefinitely extended.
"The whole agreement was nothing more than kicking the can down the road. Well, we've reached the end of the road and now they're going to try to kick it farther," Pham, Director of the Atlantic Council's Africa Center, said in an interview with the New Atlanticist.
"At the end of the day, there is no political will," he added.
Did NATO Provoke a War By Trying to 'Take' Ukraine From Russia?
Much Western thinking about the causes of the Russo-Ukrainian War is rooted in a myth. It posits that the West—or, more specifically, NATO—attempted to wrest Ukraine from Russia's sphere of influence, thereby forcing Vladimir Putin to defend Russia's legitimate strategic interests by going to war with Ukraine.
The logic is impeccable. The only problem is that there isn't a shred of truth to this claim.
Atlantic Council analyst says ISIS threat must galvanize political foes
Rival factions in Libya must come together for talks in Morocco this week to take on the threat posed by an affiliate of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), says Atlantic Council analyst Fadel Lamen.An ISIS affiliate has exploited the political and security vacuum in Libya by putting down roots in the eastern part of the country.
In January, ISIS-affiliated militants attacked Tripoli's Corinthia Hotel. They shocked the world in February by beheading twenty-one Egyptian Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya.
"This should galvanize everybody to come together to fight an existential threat," Lamen, who is a Nonresident Fellow in the Atlantic Council's Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East, said in an interview.
Lamen will participate in the talks in Morocco on March 5 as a civil society representative and Chairman of the National Dialogue Commission.
Atlantic Council analyst says US, NATO lack adequate nuclear deterrence policy
The United States and NATO lack an adequate nuclear deterrence policy even as Russia has put the nuclear option at the center of its national security strategy, according to Atlantic Council analyst Matthew Kroenig."NATO should strengthen its nuclear declaratory policy and develop new, more tailored nuclear capabilities to provide a credible response to a limited Russian nuclear strike," Kroenig, a Nonresident Senior Fellow in the Atlantic Council's Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, said in an interview.
US envoy says officials in West, Middle East, and Southeast Asia are worried about growing threat
Officials in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia worry about the threat posed by affiliates of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and their potential to inspire foreign fighters, says retired Gen John Allen, the US Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL.These officials are concerned that besides destabilizing their home countries, the foreign fighters could help ISIL replenish its ranks, Allen said at a March 2 event hosted by the Atlantic Council's Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security.
The United States is focused on these concerns, and the 62-member coalition of nations and international organizations to fight ISIL in Iraq and Syria must decide how it will respond to this emerging threat, Allen said.
"The challenge that has been evolving over the last several months has been the emergence of organizations outside … Iraq and Syria. Those organizations, which have put their hand in the air ultimately to become affiliated with or to join the ISIL movement, [are] something that we are watching very carefully and very closely," Allen said.
For Long-Term Security, EU Should Push Moscow to Obey Rules and Kyiv to Reform Gas Sector
By brokering a March 2 interim gas deal between Ukraine and Russia, the European Union helped avert a wintertime cutoff of gas to Ukraine and other parts of Europe. Russia had threatened to halt supplies to Ukraine in the two countries' dispute over prices and payments for Russia' gas. The deal, in Brussels, came as Ukraine's parliament passed one of several difficult reform laws that could help the longer-term energy security of both the country and Europe, analysts say.
Europe is at risk of Russian gas cutoffs because almost 15 percent of its total gas needs arrive from Russia via pipelines across Ukraine. But the EU can take a simple step to reduce its dangerous dependence on Russia's good will in delivering gas to Ukraine, write two Canadian economists. EU leaders should begin building a more flexible, stable gas market in Europe by forcing the Russian gas monopoly, Gazprom, to remove a clause in its contracts that forbid European countries from swapping around volumes of gas bought initially from Russia.
Raw Numbers on Military Drills Suggest a Gap in the West's Deterrence
Readers who don't specialize in NATO or military affairs may have missed a report from the NATOSource blog last week on a wide gap between the scale of military exercises conducted by Russia and by the NATO alliance. In the past two years, Russia's major military exercises deployed a total of about 745,000 troops, while those of NATO countries involved a total of some 157,000. (Actually, only 72,000 troops took part in full NATO exercises; 85,000 participated in drills run by individual NATO member states.)
