Photo: Six artists have six Grammy nominations apiece this year, including (clockwise from top left) Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, fun., Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons and Kanye West. Illustration by Rick Ho, Orange County Register. Click the pic for more nominees.
Adele sweeping her way to a six-win coronation at last year's Grammy Awards was the easiest thing for prognosticators to predict since Norah Jones had everyone's vote virtually a decade earlier.
But this time, despite murmurs that it might be a big night for mellow yet startling R&B newcomer Frank Ocean (don't count on it), the prizes are apt to be so spread around that the top stars of the ceremony may only take home a pair of trophies apiece.
Ocean arrives for Sunday's telecast from Staples Center (CBS/2 at 8 p.m.) packing six nominations, as do breakout band fun., perennial rap heroes Jay-Z and Kanye West, beloved Brit folkies Mumford & Sons and unassuming blues-rock savior Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys.
Yet only fun., makers of the irresistible anthem "We Are Young," will compete in all Big 4 categories: album, record and song of the year, plus best new artist.
It's downright absurd – albeit not unthinkable – that they'd sweep, just as it's unlikely Ocean will win in three of those four matches. (He somehow missed the cut for the song race, though Carly Rae Jepsen's intolerable "Call Me Maybe" squeaked in.) More believable is that Grammy voters will inadvertently split honors between them – or cancel both out as newcomers saluted enough by several nominations. That could allow a not-so-illogical sleeper choice like Kelly Clarkson to walk off with a few.
No matter how you divvy up the numbers, however, the outcome is the same: The top winner may wind up with no more than three Grammys, and he might just be the guy perhaps seen least during the show: Kanye.
Nominees: Babel, Mumford & Sons; Blunderbuss, Jack White; Channel Orange, Frank Ocean; El Camino, the Black Keys; Some Nights, fun.
Outlook: For the first time in many years, a credible case can be made for any of these candidates coming out the victor, though that might be stretching it in fun.'s case.
All the same, I see this one going to the Mumfords.
Ocean's disc was striking, soul-deep yet innovative, and it landed atop scores of critics' lists – but critics don't vote, and regardless how many academy members will want to reward his bold emergence, there are plenty in the older guard who just won't get it. Don't forget: This category hasn't produced a champ steeped in hip-hop in almost a decade, since OutKast's unassailable win in 2004. And that was only the second rap album to reach that peak.
Jack White can get hero-worshipped by industry types just as much as fans, and as the only repeat nominee in this field (the White Stripes' Elephant lost to OutKast's opus) he may have a slight edge. On the other hand, he isn't up for record or song of the year, and as an overall assortment his gets trumped pretty handily by the Black Keys' fast-burning machine.
White and the Keys are current keepers of the American rock 'n' roll flame, a factor not to be underestimated after a Brit (Adele) and a bunch of Canadians (Arcade Fire) took it home the past two years. But Mumford & Sons have seemed destined for Grammy gold from the moment they stepped on stateside soil. They're authentic, unorthodox yet totally traditional, compellingly passionate, teeming with timeless themes and melodies – all those things Grammy voters seem to value most.

Diabetes Health Center
Sitting Too Much May Lead to Diabetes, Heart Disease
Oct. 15, 2012 -- Your workout routine may not be enough to keep you healthy if you sit for many hours a day.
A new analysis links prolonged sitting to greater odds of diabetes, heart disease, and death -- even in people who exercise regularly.
"Many people think that if they work out every day that's all they need to do," says researcher Emma Wilmot, MD, of England's University of Leicester. "But those with jobs that require sitting all day may still be at risk."
Between the time spent driving and seated in front of a desk, computer, or TV, the average adult spends between 50% and 70% of their day sitting down, Wilmot says.
Sitting May Be Hazardous to Your Health
Wilmot's team analyzed 18 studies that together included nearly 800,000 people.
People who sat for the longest periods of time were twice as likely to have diabetes or heart disease than those who sat the least. That was even true of people who did moderate to vigorous physical activity on a regular basis.
Prolonged sitting was also linked to a greater risk of death from all causes, but the strongest link was to diabetes, Wilmot says.
The same research team recently reported that sitting for long periods appears to raise the risk for kidney disease, especially in women.
Thomas Yates, MD, who led that study, says the evidence linking prolonged sitting to poorer overall health is mounting.
"Even for people who are otherwise active, sitting for long stretches seems to be an independent risk factor for conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease," he says.
Regular Exercise May Not Be Enough
"Right now we are told to get regular exercise, but that may not be enough," Yates says. "Another important message may be to reduce overall sitting time."
This may be especially important for people with type 2 diabetes or those at risk for the disease.
Other recent studies have linked sitting for long periods with higher insulin levels.
Stand Up
Yates recommends standing up for two minutes every 20 minutes you spend sitting down, and standing up during commercials when watching TV.
It's not clear if these interventions make a difference, but it's a step in the right direction.
"We aren't really at the point where we can give specific recommendations," he says. "But it does appear that the less time spent sitting, the better."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

I looked around and couldn't find any for less than $100. so these pants fit the bill. These have the protection in the right places. looking forward to riding with them. I will admit the are a little baggy but they still look good.

The Snake Charmer is a handy organizer pouch; into the Snake Charmer go your power supply, external drives, mice, and other small electronics. Originally designed to use the space above a Horizontal Brain Cell inside our Brain Bag, the Snake Charmer has become a standard organizing tool for people who have neither.
The Snake Charmer has two separate compartments with #8 YKK zippers; both sides of the Snake Charmer are heavy-weight mesh, allowing you to easily see what's inside. The Snake Charmer also makes a great toiletries bag for travel because the mesh sides help the contents dry out.
The Snake Charmer has a simple loop at the top that allows you to easily pull it out of your bag or hang it on a doorknob. We added tabs on the sides to give you something to pull against when zipping the Snake Charmer shut, making that task just a little easier.

So you might be asking: Since we meet so many amazing, resilient animals and selfless adopters here at the ASPCA, how could we possibly select our favorites? Well, people, we really can't. Instead, we've rounded up five ASPCA stories that stood out for their heartwarming outcomes and were shared far and wide via email, Facebook and Twitter.
Here are our top five animal stories of 2012.
1. Milo and Mia
2. Britney
3. Cagney and Lacey
4. Ninja
5. Trolley
Got an animal story you'd love to share? Tell us about it in the comments or email us at [email protected].
I would add Brad to the list: http://blog.aspca.org/content/aspca-happy-tail-furry-new-roommate Thank you ASPCA staff for caring for the pets and helping them find homes.
I particularly enjoyed the happy ending for dear Britney. So much going against her yet she found her perfect person. I have to ask did Cagney find a home yet? That was the hard one. I know she would be well cared for at the facility but would love to know she had her own person/family.
I found a little black and white kitten sitting at a stop sign intersection near my house. She was just sitting there and I really don't know how she did not get hit, this is a busy four way stop. But I turned around and brought her back to our family.
A trip to the vet and Petsmart and $900 dollars later we have a fat, aloof, stuck up cat that thinks she owns the place. She shares her home with a 97 lb yellow lab named Sadie. She weighs 9 pounds, the vet said she will not get any larger because she was so close to death when we rescued her. Needless to say she owns the main level of the house and our lab puts up with her. We also have another rescued cat names Nyra. She is a very statly cat and so loving. She was left to the elements last winter and we took her in with the intention of finding her a home. Well that did not happen and I could not have given her up anyway. She is deaf because of ear infections is what our vet has told us, anyway her ears are scarred and the scar tissue is thick which is her reason for not hearing very well. The two cats tolerate each other but Nyra is older and will put Church in her place. Oh yea, I forgot to mention we named the first cat I talked about Church. Not because we found her by a church but because she reminds us of the cat in Pet Semetary. Only she really made it back from the dead and we love her dearly.
Hats off to organizations who help rescue pets. I am tearfully preparing to send 3 wonderful strays to Mass from PR next week. They will go to a Buddy Dog shelter. I am crossing my fingers that caring new families will quickly adopt these girls, whom I would keep if I didn't already have 3 pups at home.
Hi! i am an animal lover who loves to save animals! I would risk my life for an animal! People may say, " WHAT!?! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE DUMB ANIMALS! YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE! Well even though I only have one life i really love animals! I really need to stop animal abuse and animal testing! JOIN THE ASPCA TODAY!
Thank you ASPCA people!! I admire you so much. I had already read these stories, but I read them all over again. I wish there was an organization like ASPCA in Argentina. Here's all about volunteer's work for animals, at least for now. Animals are true blessings, the purest beings on Earth. They're the best thing that can happen to a human being!!
I was kind of hoping to see something about a starved little dog named Patrick. His story broke my heart and left a very deep and lasting impression there and I have been looking for any kind of update on him at all.
It's funny that you mention Patrick, because I was just talking about him to some people at the dog park over the weekend. I will never forget how heart broken I was and how the images of him deeply disturbed me for so long. Any update on him would be great.
The headline reads dogs who need rides....and then there is no
where to look to help?

Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll
Carroll delivering a message
Carroll with a winning smile
The Carroll family
*** Legends ***By Yussuf J. SimmondsJennifer Carroll"The first Black woman elected as lieutenant governor of Florida."Jennifer Carroll was born in Trinidad (officially the republic of Trinidad and Tobago), in the West Indies at a time when the island(s)/country were still a British colony (and they were a part of what was called the British West Indies). She came to the United States at the age of eight. Though many Trinidadians migrated to England--mainly to receive a university education--at the time, Carroll was born (August 27, 1959), the migration of Trinidadians, in search of higher education and other opportunities, had begun to shift towards the U.S. After moving to the U.S., Carroll graduated from Uniondale High School in New York. Then in 1979, she enlisted in the U.S. Navy where she served as an aviation machinist mate, was selected for the Navy's Enlisted Commissioning Program and six years later, became an aviation maintenance officer. During her years in the Navy, Carroll worked through the ranks, and according to one of her interviews, she suffered numerous sexist and racist indignities from some of the White navy men who had been offended having a Black woman in charge. She served her adopted country honorably and with distinction, was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, the Overseas Ribbon, two Coast Guard Special Operation Ribbons, and an Expert Pistol Medal. After 20 years of service, Carroll retired as a Lieutenant Commander Aviation Maintenance Officer in 1999. While in the Navy, Carroll received an Associate of Arts degree from Leeward Community College, Hawaii in 1981, followed by a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of New Mexico in 1985. After moving to Florida in 1986, she then received her Master of Business Administration degree from St. Leo University in 1991.In her new home state, Carroll started a public relations firm, 3N. & J.C. Corp., where she became its president. (It appeared that she named the business, 3N, in honor of her three children--Nolan, Nyckie and Necho--and J.C., her own initials). And she eased into politics by becoming a member of the Clay County Republican Executive Committee. In 2000, Carroll first tested the political waters as a newcomer when she ran for Congress against an incumbent. Though she had tremendous financial assistance from the state's Republican machine--outspending the incumbent 2-to-1--she lost to the Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown. Then Florida Governor Jeb Bush nominated her to run the state's Department of Veterans Affairs. With her impeccable military background, Carroll was confirmed by the Florida Senate. As head of the department, she was responsible for the claims and benefits of over 1.8 million veterans, and more than $63 million in retroactive compensation was awarded to Florida veterans. Also in that capacity, she oversaw the state's nursing homes for veterans, the department's $30 million annual budget and legislation pertaining to the care and benefits of veterans in the state. Carroll aggressively lobbied for state construction funds for Veterans' Nursing Homes and led the fight for two federal matching grant applications that resulted in $15 million of federal funds for the aforementioned projects.Then she resigned to run for Congress, but lost again. However, in 2003, she ran for the Florida House of Representatives, and won, becoming the first African American female Republican in the Florida Legislature's history where she represented the 13th District. Carroll served in that legislative body until 2010. As a legislator, she was appointed Deputy Majority Leader by the Speaker from 2003-2004 and served as Majority Whip from 2004-2006. In the state legislature, Carroll worked on the following committees: Ethics & Elections Committee, Business Regulation Committee, Finance & Tax Committee, Growth Management Committee and Workgroup on Affordable Housing. These experiences would eventually lead to a virtual legislative boon and catapult Carroll to the second highest elected office in the state: that of the 18th lieutenant governor.In 2010, Florida's Republican gubernatorial candidate, Rick Scott, named Carroll as his running mate after winning the primary. Thus, she became the first Black woman to be a major party candidate for lieutenant governor in Florida's history, on any statewide Republican ticket. The team won the election and they assumed office on January 4, 2011. In her state website, Carroll was described as the "embodiment of the American Dream."(The office of Florida's lieutenant governor has a somewhat unique history; it existed two separate times in state history: from 1865-1889 and 1968 to the present. Like some other states, including California, the state's lieutenant governor was previously elected independent of the governor. But since 1968--via an amendment to the state constitution--the gubernatorial nominee selected a lieutenant governor as a running mate and they ran together as joint candidates on one ticket. In other words, they would either win or lose together--and now, the two top offices in the state will always be from the same party).As a Republican and of the same party as the governor, Carroll shares the governor's vision for the state and his conservative values: smaller government, lower taxes, personal responsibility, and personal freedom. At the same time, she typically opposes the Obama agenda which Republicans generally outline as higher taxes, government control of health care through Obamacare, and excessive regulation like Cap and Trade.Though Lt. Gov. Carroll's tenure, as the second highest elected in the state, has just started, her ascension to that position can be presently viewed in its historical context as a Black woman, a West Indian, a native of the Caribbean and a Trinidadian. There were some mild differences during the campaign as to whether or not she was to be described as "African-American;" some believed it was a misnomer since she was born in Trinidad.
But according to her website, she seems to prefer "Black," which indeed covers the entire "labeling" spectrum (race, color and maybe even nationality in some quarters); notwithstanding, she is chair of the Republican Party of Florida African-American Leadership Council. And in announcing her as his pick for lieutenant governor, Scott said Carroll "is the first African-American Republican woman to be part of a statewide ticket in Florida." As a Black woman, she stands on the shoulders of Jennette Bradley (also a Republican), who in 2003 became the first Black woman in the U.S. to be elected as lieutenant governor of a state (Ohio). As a West Indian from a former British colony, she follows the footsteps of pioneering politicians including Sir Alexander Bustamante, Norman Manley, Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica); Sir Grantley Adams (Barbados); and Eugenia Charles (Dominica). As a Trinidadian, she treads the paths of fellow Trinidadians including C.L.R. James, Dr. Eric Williams (first prime minister); Kamla Persad-Bissessar (current prime minister); and Dr. Mervyn M. Dymally, who in addition to being a Trinidadian, was the first and thus far, the only Black person to be elected lieutenant governor of California.According to news reports, Carroll is close to her family, and sometimes blends family life and politics. She reportedly said that when it comes to politics, she lets her family members make their own choices, adding that she was delighted when her son, Nolan Jr. registered as a Republican. "We talk about the issues, and I tell them the pros and cons as I see them, and then it's up to them to decide," she said. But Nolan Jr. prefers to keep his mother's politics out of the locker room, but when his teammates (he plays for the Miami Dolphins) find out, they like to ask questions. "Sometimes people will want to debate issues, and I just tell them that I don't like to talk about politics much because it gets too heated," he said.Carroll is married to Nolan Carroll Sr., also a veteran from the military (U.S. Air Force) and as previously stated the couple has three children; they are said to be her biggest cheerleaders. As the parent of an NFL player and a politician, Carroll sees many similarities between politics and sports and wishes politicians could be as sportsmanlike as NFL players.A recent reporter aptly describes Carroll as a former state legislator, small business owner, and veteran currently serving as the lieutenant governor of Florida, and an example of the American Dream come true.

Andre Pretorius will only miss the Cats' first two matches of the Vodacom Super 14.
According to Cats CEO Andy Turner, the Bok flyhalf should be ready to play in six weeks time. Pretorius tore ankle ligaments during the Test against Argentina last year and was flown home for surgery.
"Andre will miss the Super 14 games against the Stormers and Chiefs, but will be fit to tour Australia," Turner told Rapport on Sunday. "After the 2004 and 2005 seasons we had 18 injuries, this year only Andre is injured. That's all thanks to our new medical team."
Meanwhile, Springboks Ashwin Willemse and Ricky Janurie will both be ready for the Cats' Super 14 campaign. Injury has halted the progress of Willemse's Test career since he was named SA Player of the Year in 2003, while Januarie hurt himself in last year's Currie Cup after establishing himself as the country's No 1 scrumhalf during the Tri-Nations.
In another boost to the franchise, former Bok lock Jannes Labuschange returns to the Cats squad after a year on the sidelines.
"It's wonderful to have Jannes back," said Turner. "His power in the engine room and his influence on the rest of the team means a lot."

RHR270 - Beyond That - Meg Hutchinson
"Set to elegant, free-floating melodies that feel both modern and rooted, her lyrics are always seeking, if not actually finding, hope at the end of life's dark tunnels." - The Boston Globe
"one of those works that quietly gets under your skin...nakedly intimate lyrics, and muted, bittersweet melodies." - Dirty Linen
On Beyond That, Meg Hutchinson teams up with her long-time producer Crit Harmon for her most experimental and intricate production to date. Picking up where 2010's The Living Side left off, Meg's poetic lyrics reflect a desire to unplug from an over-connected world, and find a deep, inner-peace. The resulting record is at once ecstatic and meditative, reminiscent of David Gray's White Ladder where revelatory lyrics combine with a fresh contemporary production. "We live in the desire realm," Hutchinson says. "If we look closely at our lives we see that all our senses are constantly hungry. We are addicted to information, to success, to consumption. I see this as a major cultural illness right now. We are always sure that there is something better, a better spouse, a better job, a bigger house. What we keep forgetting is that none of this pursuit is bringing us any closer to happiness." With Beyond That, Meg Hutchinson delivers a stunning album about coming home, transforming desire, and how human love can open the heart for some greater purpose.

I actually work at a different place now and while with some people I have to "tip toe" a bit around their feelings, I am able to express my personal views somewhat and not cower in the corner. I am getting more used to being true to myself and while I may be in the closet, at least I leave the door open now.
You are absolutely right about more of us Atheists and free thinkers standing up and being heard. Perhaps it's a gradual process of first coming to terms with the truth and then letting other know how you feel. In the beginning when I came to this realization, I was quite an ass about it and quite rude about pointing out my enlightened views. My very Mormon parents, while they were also behaving ass-like, really were quite shocked and horrified when they found out how I felt.
I often think if I was a little more subtle about it then it would have been easier on them but probably not.
Perhaps soon I will feel confident enough to stand a little firmer.

Morne Steyn received a one-week ban after being found guilty at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Steyn was cited for allegedly breaching law 10.4 (a) which deals with the striking of an opponent with, for instance the arm, during following Blue Bulls' 20-3 semi-final loss against The Sharks in Durban last Saturday.
The Springbok flyhalf is banned from all forms of rugby until 28 October.
Prop Morne Mellet was also cited for his trip on Sharks flyhalf Pat Lambie. But it was decided that the yellow card issued to him in the 30th minute was sufficient punishment.

Some variants of this product is currently sold out, do you want us to notify you once we have it back in stock?
Notify me!
So... Prepare for a long story!
We ordered a new batch of these for our show in Rejmyre (Skogsröjet) earlier this year! However, they came without a back print, I noticed today. So they are currently on their way back to the shirt factory to be printed on the back as well! So I have more of these. They are just not in the shop at the moment. Sign up for a notification and you will know once we have received them from our supllier!
Secondly, I also found a very few of of these laying around from some previous tour. They are exactly the same, just that they are printed on a t-shirt that's a little bit cheaper (Gildan SoftStyle 64000). I want to get rid of those, as it's not good for my OCD to mix too much :). Therefor they are way cheaper.
Coming soon!
* Printed on Gildan 5000 t-shirts.

It, WILL get hot fixed, in the mean time, people need to stop bitching. Speed running is Speed running, And by the sounds they got the worlds fastest time. GG. Its a exploit that they found and used. You see more bitching on forums than real life if someone see's someone else "cheat".
It was fairly easy to see for every group going there, if you fail and reset you noticed the buff staying right away. At least we did back then.

Good job, good sharing!
Back in the days people used to grab Ony / Hakkar / Nefarian Buffs before running raids (think Loatheb, glorious times except for warlocks and their soulstones).
[sarcasm]Clearly those encounters weren't designed with those powerful buffs in mind, all those guilds must have been cheating![/scarasm]
Another neat story: Blizzard Devs vs. Mogu'shan Palace Challenge Mode (at around 1h 32m)
Right after Gekkan, they evade the Mobs on the elevator.
Everyone does that, those Mobs are useless. Although everyone does it noone views it as cheating / bugging / exploiting, guess evading Mobs seems to be O.K. with the community.
They've banned entire guilds for abusing the evade mechanic during boss kills, too. They probably don't care about it for challenge modes because they don't provide any rewards, and essentially nobody cares about them, so it's not worth the trouble to spend time dealing with it when they can deal with more important stuff instead.
"Why make trillions when we could make... billions??"
Most of you are talking about something you don't fully understand.
That group deserves their time which reflects the work they put in it.
Was it a new original strategy ? no.
Was it ingenious ? yes... 3 months ago.
Was it well executed? not really, but still better than others that tried hence their time.
Is it beatable without what everyone consider cheating ? YES, BY AT LEAST A MINUTE.
If you consider that cheating, you are simply removing yourself from the competition. A year from now, the CM's top times will be the best executed strategies compiling every single trick to each dungeon, and that will be the beauty of it. Resetting it it's part of that dungeon, just like several people cliking the orbs on shado-pan, dk mc on scarlet, or using the scholo buff by picking it in the normal version and then skiping the proffesor on the CM. If it works, use it, other people will to improve your time. All these things obsolete the gold requirement, but not the competition.
Considering this video show a run of 12:21 in Nizuao temple and they don't reset the adds.
The OP's video have it cleared in 10:17 and they claim "2min faster than the previous fastest time" while resetting adds.
So yea "everybody use the add reset in Nizuao now so it's not cheating" not so much a good claim apparently.

This is an impressive run, Makes me want to see what crazy schemes I can come up with

When you walk into a shop to buy a race-level road bike, the process might seem more complicated than ever--and not only because you have to decipher all the claims that "our carbon is better than theirs," or "this new bottom-bracket design is best," or "trust us, electric shifting is revolutionary." Choosing a new bike can be confounding because a growing number of manufacturers are producing two distinct frames that can each be called the company's fastest.
One style of bike has the telltale, angular shaping of a wind cheater; the other has the delicate curves of a lightweight that flouts gravity. And this time the hype is true: Each one really might be the fastest bike you've ever ridden--it depends on the kind of speed you crave.
FEATHER VS. KNIFE Of the many ways to evaluate a frame's potential performance, lightness is the easiest to understand. You can simply pick up two frames and feel a weight difference (which might explain, in part, why so many cyclists obsess over every gram). Everyone intrinsically understands that we can move a lighter object more easily than a heavier object, so paying more for a lighter bike makes sense.
This is backed up by more thorough study. Unlike some commonsense ideas that turn out to be false, weight truly does matter, especially on climbs. Reliable calculators, easily found on the Internet, show how much faster a lighter bike is on an ascent. For example, on a 6-mile hill with a constant 8 percent grade and a rider who puts out a consistent 250 watts, reducing weight by 250 grams will result in a time savings of more than seven seconds. (But remember that these calculations are based on unrealistically constant parameters-- in the real world, wind changes speed and direction, the grade varies, your friends draft or attack.) To smaller degrees, a lighter bike also helps when you're quickly accelerating, such as in an attack, or changing speeds frequently to adjust for grade or your companions. By contrast, the effect of a bike's weight can be surprisingly negligible on a flat road at a constant effort.
Aerodynamic drag has significantly more impact on you--up to 90 percent of the resistance you're working against when riding a bike. Because drag is every rider's biggest foe, some companies put monumental effort into making bikes that slice through the air. But the payoff isn't always proportionate to the effort: Unlike the instant feedback a potential buyer gets by lifting a bike in a showroom, the benefit of aero improvements can be difficult to grasp. More important, so much drag comes from the rider that the bike is responsible only for about 10 percent of that 90 percent of resistance. Even so, improvements to frame aerodynamics matter. Cervelo cofounder Gerard Vrooman says that his aero-shaped S3 frame lets the average rider gain 10 meters per kilometer compared with the R3-SL , which is 200 grams lighter (again, more numbers based on controlled situations, and which may not translate to your Tuesday-evening loop).
So to recap: Improvements to either aerodynamics or weight result in additional speed. The difference is in the type of speed. In general, the aero bike is faster on flats and longer, sustained efforts, and the lighter bike is faster on climbs and in pack situations (with lots of drafting that minimizes aerodynamic advantages) that involve repeated, sharp accelerations.

Excitement and Fast-Paced Women's Basketball to Provide an Exciting '09-'10 Season
November 12, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The 2009-10 outlook on the Pfeiffer University womens basketball program brings a lot of excitement and hope with a young squad that has just two upperclassmen. This years recipe for success will be a simple combination of playing smart and fighting hard each and every game. The Lady Falcons will begin the 09-10 campaign this Sunday, November 15th and Monday, November 16th in the Queen City Classic on the campus of Johnson C. Smith. Sunday pits Pfeiffer against host J.C. Smith and Monday against Wingate
Two red-shirt juniors will bring a lot of experience in what hopes to be a lot of up tempo play. Devona Knight, who was an honorable mention all-conference player last year and set the school record for single rebounds in one game at 27, will look to be a floor leader with point guard Domonique China pushing the ball and being a scoring threat from anywhere on the court.
Returning with the upperclassmen are three sophomores, Jessica Walter, Jamila Harris and Shelley Reese. All three of these players will be a big impact in accomplishing this seasons goals. Walter, a shooter from Tennessee, sat out the first semester due to injury, but ended last year shooting well. Jessica worked really hard at getting back into great shape and increasing her foot speed during the offseason. Shelley has the ability to knock down open shots being a smart point guard who distributes the play well and Harris brings a lot to the Lady Falcons as she has the ability to run the floor, post up, knock down jumpers and defend well, comments head coach Jill Thomas.
Eight true freshmen enter Pfeiffer this year with returning redshirt freshman Ashley Zeek Thomas and assistant coach Christian Papp expect a lot from the newcomers during their rookie seasons as they will play in big roles and soak up big minutes this season with everything they have done to improve, transitioning from their high school careers. Point guard Kellie Rhoney, guard Brittany Cox, forwards Charlotte Fuller and Olivia Surratt are players to keep your eye on this season. All four have had a great pre-season and cannot wait to get on the court on Sunday.
After pre-season workouts and scrimmages, opening weekend is here. We play two very good teams to kick off the year, stated Thomas. Sunday, we open with Johnson C. Smith on their home floor. J.C. Smith is ranked number one in the pre-season CIAA poll and only lost three games at home last year. They also return the same squad that won their first CIAA championship last season and made it to the second round of the national tournament.
The Lady Falcons are open to the tough challenge to begin the year. We are going into this weekend confident and looking to have great ball movement along with transition defense. If we can move the ball well and get great shots, we will put ourselves in a great position to win. Against Wingate, we will need to defend their guards and not allow their post play to hurt us. They are a smart team who executes well said Thomas.
On the overall feel of the upcoming season, I feel really good about this years team and am very excited to get underway. These two games at the Queen City Classic are really going to help us for Conference Carolinas play. I tell our team everyday that we can only beat ourselves. We are young, but we have plenty of talent. If we play hard and play smart that is all I can ask of them in the end.

Hi forum folks. After having read Mr. Harris' book, I wrote up a reply without thinking that he would probably never read it. Your eyes and feedback are just as valuable as Mr. Harris', so I submit it here without changes. Peace.
Dear Mr. Harris,
My name is Julia and I'm a recent college graduate living in British Columbia. This summer I read your book Letter to a Christian Nation. No doubt receiving replies to it is now, for you, old news. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to write.
I made many long drafts of this letter that began by enumerating all the points on which I agree with you. The idea was that if you were made to realize that there are Christians who believe, as you do, that (for instance) Christian politicians ought not to try to legislate Christian values – by, for example, resisting the promulgation of an HPV vaccination on the grounds that HPV deters premarital sex, or by fighting tooth and nail the institution of gay marriage – you might be caused to acknowledge (or at least consider) the existence of Christians worthy of your intellectual respect.
Because a respectable, wholesome, holistic intellectual credibility is the one characteristic that you believe it impossible to attribute to anyone who calls him or herself a Christian. Your Letter is scathing. Contemplating theological questions is "a hilarious, terrifying, unconscionable waste of time," period. (66) You treat all religious beliefs as they were simply obviously false. Muslim beliefs are foolish to you, and you bank on Christians having the same intuition, hoping in the end to show them that they can be no more assured of their own religious beliefs than Muslims can be of theirs. ("...every devout Muslim has the same reasons for being a Muslim that you have for being a Christian…[But] isn't it obvious that Muslims are fooling themselves?" (6-7))
No, it is not obvious. It is not at all obvious, and this line of argument is all but begging fundamentalist Christians to forsake critical thinking and any effort to reasonable judgement. I, for one, am convinced that Muslims are mistaken, but I don't leap to the conclusion that therefore they're all loonies. I suspect that many of them believe certain details about the life and identity of Muhammad and the nature of the Koran on the basis of what you and I would both consider to be good reasons in ordinary circumstances: the testimony of trusted family and friends, and historical accounts of the life of Muhammad, for example. This does not change the fact that they hold false beliefs, but it's worse than a waste of paper – because it encourages closed-minded irrationality – to simply treat Islam as a joke.
You paint a picture of Christians as morally impoverished, prioritizing a political agenda that causes more suffering than it does good. Yes, there are Christians who fit your description. But surely you must realize that yet others have a totally different interpretation of what it means to be a follower of Christ? An interpretation that is notably lacking the American-fundamentalist urgency of integrating church and state, but nevertheless an interpretation that agrees with that of the authors of the gospels: that Jesus is God, was sent by God to reconcile God to men, performed miracles, laid down his life, and took it up again three days after he was crucified.
There are millions such as these who will feel your Letter is not addressed to them; that you talk past them; that your arguments fail to penetrate the heart of Christianity. These Christians are prepared to agree with much of what you say. They are not your enemies. And yet you alienate them by presuming them idiots.
I am ready to agree with you that extreme cruelty and devastating harm has been carried out by Christians in the name of Christ. Christianity's history has some dark and nasty chapters, and it would be heedless for contemporary Christians to forget these entirely. But it is just as short-sighted to judge Christ's teachings based on someone else's interpretation of them – which is what we are doing if dismiss Christianity because of the evil that purports itself to be committed in its name. As you yourself point out, "even if atheism led straight to moral chaos, this would not suggest that the doctrine of Christianity is true." (46)
I am ready to agree with you that many of the commandments found in the Old Testament do not agree with our moral intuitions. Reason and Conscience are the best tools we have with respect to the pursuit of morality, and we should guard them against a blind adherence to dogma. That said, it is foolishness to reject the Bible in its entirety merely because it contains accounts of deeds that we find morally questionable. As you know, the Bible is a complex book containing many genres, and written over a span of thousands of years by many authors from regions and cultures dissimilar from our own. Different parts have been written for different purposes. Just like any other historical document, the Bible is a text the reading of which requires discernment, interpretation, and relevant historical and cultural contextual knowledge to fully understand the import and intent, and thus its relevance for us today. This does not mean that it can't contain either contain historical truths or actual revelation from God.
But in addition to these things, I also believe Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to be vital to the ultimate flourishing of our souls. Who Jesus is matters. Whether we believe Jesus is who he said he was matters. Not only because our beliefs about this influence what metaphysical/spiritual beliefs we end up holding, but because they also matter to the condition of our souls. I know you understand this. Perhaps for us Christians to believe such things doesn't bother you as long as we keep our noses out of politics… but I rather think not. There exist millions of non-fundamental, non-liberal Christians who love Jesus and strive to live their lives for him. We find the gospels compelling, convincing, believable. Please start there.
Sincerely Yours,
Julia Neufeld

The order Cetacea comprises two extant sub-orders and one extinct sub-order. The extant sub-orders are Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales). Both mysticeti and odontoceti are thought to be descendants of archaeocetes (Archaeoceti, ancient whales), an extinct sub-order. There are at least 83 living species of cetaceans, with 46 genera in 14 families. Of the two extant suborders, Odontoceti is larger and more diverse, with at least 70 species, 40 genera, and 10 families. Cetaceans, along with Chiroptera, are considered some of the most derived mammals on the planet. They evolved from terrestrial animals to an entirely aquatic life form that is completely separated from the land in all aspects of biology. Cetaceans live, breed, rest, and carry out all of their life functions in the water. (Gingerich et al., 2001; Reeves et al., 2002; Rice, 1984)

Northside first-year girls' basketball coach Chad Novelli said he doesn't know too much about Graham, a squad that stands at 18-10 overall and a squad that stands in his team's way of a trip to the East Regionals.
But one thing Novelli knows for sure is that when his second-seeded Monarchs (24-4) face the No. 11 Red Devils, Graham won't be your typical 18-10 and lower-seeded team.
Northside plays host to Graham tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the NCHSAA 2-A sectional finals with the winner advancing to the East Regional semifinals next week in
"Their 18-10 record …, it would be naïve of us to think that they are what you would think an 11 seed would be," Novelli said. "Looking at their conference, I know they are in a tough conference with Reidsville and Jordan Matthews and they beat both of them."
Actually, Graham split its regular-season series with Reidsville and Jordan Matthews to forge a three-way tie for the Mid-State Conference title.
Top-seeded Reidsville (23-3) and No. 5 Jordan Matthews play in the other sectional final tonight with the winner to play the Northside-Graham winner.
Again, Novelli said he's not too familiar with the Red Devils. Still, he's enjoyed doing the research on Graham.
"It's nerve-racking, but I love every minute of it," Novelli said. "It's why you go into coaching. We will bring our game against theirs and one team is going to move on. It's pretty cool."
Graham is coming off a 60-43 victory at No. 3 Whiteville on Wednesday. The Red Devils also beat No. 6 East Duplin 56-30 on Monday.
Meanwhile, East Central Conference champion Northside beat league rival
The Monarchs, who are led by seniors Ashanti Curry, Journee Collins and Kayla Hill, haven't been at their best in each of their playoff games, but have still found ways to win.
"We have different people on our roster who can pick someone else up when they are down," Novelli said. "We don't have to rely on just one or two people. One thing we have is athletically and mentality strong girls and are just really good at picking each other up when needed.
"These last couple of games haven't been the prettiest …, but they find ways to win. I hope they keep doing it."
And if the Monarchs win tonight, they will find themselves in the East Regionals for the first time since 2009.
"I think this is what the older girls have been working for over the years," Novelli said. "I think they would deserve it. It would also be a testament to the younger girls for coming up and being those final pieces."

I don't often do this, but summer is here, and my guild could use a few good recruits. I'll put up the blurb:
<Ad Infinitum> was formed three years ago on the premise that raiding smart could be just as effective as raiding a six day a week schedule.
We see end game content and do hard modes while maintaining a schedule that allows time to do other things. We manage this by coming to raids prepared and ready to accomplish our goals. Fundamentally, we believe the most efficient use of our precious time is to prepare for content through discussion and theorycrafting before we even enter a raid zone.
When: Wednesday, Sunday, Monday (as needed); Invites 6:45pm PST, First Pull 7pm PST.
Where: US-Lethon[PvP] Server
Who: People who are Achievement Driven and Progression Oriented
Things to consider:
- Gear: Be prepared for T8 Achievements and Hard Modes
- Know your role: Our standard is set high. Raiding is not a tourist attraction. Raid members not only understand but can explain all details of an encounter. Trials are called upon in raid to explain boss mechanics so be ready for pop quizzes.
- Attention to Detail: We raid for 4 hours a night. Be as mentally fresh, focused and excited at the end as when we started.
- Connection/Hardware: Is your connection reliable? Do you get more than 15 FPS? Do microwave ovens disconnect you from the interwebs?
- Attitude: Raiding is a team sport with egos checked at the door. We have honest, direct, and productive conversations about raid performance.

~ The Officers
We're a pretty decent guild. You're expected to know how to play, know your basic theorycraft, gem/gear properly, etc. We're not a Top 100 guild or anything, but the people in the guild do care and try hard. We do try to stick pretty close to the 3 nights per week + 4 hours per night. We're generally good about starting on time and finishing on time. We don't like unnecessary AFKs, but we have a break in the middle. Raiders are expected to use a Flask and stat Food at all times, even on farm bosses.
Lethon is a PvP server, but it's a fairly quiet one. It used to be low-pop, but was a Recommended server for a while, so it is now medium to high-pop. The Auction House is pretty wacky, but you can find most things you need. It's Pacific Standard Time, and the majority of the guild plays on Pacific time.
Loot system is DKP with English Bid. That's like a standard Auction with multiple rounds of bidding. There are three pools of DKP: Normal, Tier Set, and Vanity. Main-spec before Off-spec, Pawn (our Raider rank) before Members/Trials.
A final note: we aren't joking about "Trials are called upon in raid to explain boss mechanics so be ready for pop quizzes." Before a boss, especially one we haven't done before, the raid leader will sometimes call on someone to explain the fight. That person is expected to give an overview of the fight, the main boss abilities, and the general strategy. So you should have either read up on it earlier, or have enough wit to pull up a browser window with WoWWiki. You don't have to get it perfect, but you shouldn't go in blind.
If this sounds like a guild you'd be interested in, you can apply at the link above. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments, email me, or roll a character on Lethon and bug an officer.

Jon Gosselin will allow TLC to film his children again if the network drops its lawsuit against him, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star is facing an expensive trial as TLC pursues its breach of contract claim against him. The prestigious law firm Williams & Connolly is representing TLC and won a preliminary injunction against Gosselin, prohibiting him from engaging in behavior that violates the non-compete clause in his contract.
PHOTOS: First Official Meeting of The "I Hate Jon Gosselin" Club
Now Jon is ready to make a deal, RadarOnline.com has learned. He's hoping to get TLC to drop the lawsuit by allowing them permission to film his children again.
But don't expect the return of Jon & Kate Plus 8. One source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com that the network would NEVER take Jon back. "You can be sure that if the kids come back to TLC it will be only with Kate, not with Jon. And there's no guarantee that will happen either."
PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin With His Beer, Blackberry and Snowboard
TLC is convinced they can make their new project with Kate work even though they have not revealed what the show's format will be.
It is possible that Kate Plus 8 could return as several specials, rather than a regular series.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin's New Girlfriend Parties
But all the talk right now about settlement is coming from Jon, who is clearly getting the worst of the situation in the litigation. He's been restricted from making money off his reality TV fame and is no longer receiving a TLC paycheck. His trial is scheduled to being in the Spring.
Jon's attorney Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com: "You haven't seen the last of Jon Gosselin."
PHOTOS: Jon & Morgan at Sundance
And while that may be true, other sources say that you can be sure you've seen the last of him on TLC.
"That bridge is burned," one source told RadarOnline.com.
