Court Ruling Could Alter Marine Parks Permanently
By editor
Last year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited SeaWorld following the death of a killer whale trainer. If a Florida court rules in favor of OSHA, employees of SeaWorld and other parks like it will no longer be able to come into direct contact with whales unless there is a barrier between them. Guy Raz speaks to Tim Zimmermann, a correspondent for Outside Magazine, about the ongoing legal dispute.

|Saint Cucuphas
The Martyrdom of Saint Cucuphas (Ayne Bru, 1504-7)
Sant Cugat del Vallès
|Venerated in
|Roman Catholic Church, Orthodox Catholic Church
|Major shrine
|Sant Cugat; Saint-Denis
|July 25
|Depicted being beheaded or having his throat cut
|Hunchbacks; petty thieves
Saint Cucuphas (also Cucufas or Qaqophas, Catalan: Cugat, Culgat, Cougat, Spanish: Cucufate, Cocoba(s), French: Cucuphat, Cucufa, Cucuphat, Quiquenfat, Galician: Covade, Cobad, Occitan: Cophan, Asturian: Cucao) is a martyr of Spain. His feast day is July 25, but in some areas it is celebrated on July 27 to avoid conflict with the important feast day of Santiago, the patron saint of Spain. His name is said to be of Phoenician origin with the meaning of "he who jokes, he who likes to joke."[1]
He was born into a noble Christian family in Scillis. He and Saint Felix, later martyred at Girona, were said to have been deacons of the Catholic Church in Carthage who arrived at Barcelona to evangelize the area. According to his legend, he functioned as a merchant in Barcelona while preaching the Christian faith, baptizing converts, and aiding the Christian community there. According to Christian accounts of his life, he was generous with the poor and a worker of miracles.
He was martyred near Barcelona during the persecution of Diocletian. Under the Roman governor, he suffered many torments and was imprisoned somewhere near Barcelona, along the twenty-mile stretch between ancient Barcino (Barcelona) and Egara (Terrassa). His throat was finally cut in 304. Tradition holds that two Christian women from Illuro (Mataró), Juliana and Semproniana, buried his body and were consequently martyred as well.
The Benedictine abbey of Sant Cugat del Vallès is considered to be situated on the site of his martyrdom, which was once the Roman site of Castrum Octavianum.
The legendary details of his martyrdom state that he was handed over to twelve strong soldiers, who were ordered to whip him and tear his skin with iron nails and scorpions. Cucuphas is then roasted alive after being covered in vinegar and pepper, though heavenly intervention saved him from death and injury. A great bonfire also failed to kill the saint and instead killed his would-be executioners. His jailers were then subsequently converted to Christianity after they found Cucuphas in his cell illuminated with heavenly light. The next day, he was flagellated with iron whips. By means of heavenly intervention, the prefect Maximianus was killed when his carriage caught on fire. Rufus, the new prefect, prudently decided not to practice torture of any kind on the saint and instead ordered his immediate execution by sword.
Textual references[edit]
The poet Prudentius honored him in a hymn. Cucuphas is mentioned in the Hieronymian Martyrology; the Prayer Book of Verona (7th century AD); in a hymn called Barcino laeto Cucufate vernans (7th century, recorded in manuscripts in Toledo and Silos, 10th-11th centuries), which has been attributed to Quiricus of Barcelona;[2] the Liber Sacramentorum (Toledo, 9th century, Mozarabic mass dedicated to Cucuphas); Martyrology of Ado; Martyrology of Usuard (9th century); and the Martyrology of Saint Peter of Cardeña (10th century, presumed copy of 7th-century manuscript).
The early medieval hymn Barcino laeto Cucufate vernans runs as follows:
- Barchinon laeto Cucufate vernans,
- corporis sancti tumulum honorans,
- et locum sacri venerans sepulchri,
- sparge ligustris.
- ("Barcino bursts into the vernal joy,
- of Saint Cucuphas, honoring his remains,
- and spreads privet branches on the burial
- mound and on the tomb".)[3]
When the first Benedictine community gathered at Sant Cugat in the 9th century, the monastery dedicated itself to the pre-existing veneration of Cucuphas. Since the eighth century, Sant Cugat has claimed Cucuphas' relics. In the eighth century, Saint Fulrad took a relic of Cucuphas from Sant Cugat to Saint-Denis. The relics of Cucuphas occupy a place of honor in the apse to the right of Saint Denis to this day.
From the 14th century onwards, Sant Cugat kept the martyr's remains in a small chest, decorated with scenes of the saint's life. This chest was taken to the parish of Sant Cugat del Rec (or "del Forn") in Barcelona after the monasteries were freed from mortmain.
In 1950, Sant Cugat commemorated a relic proceeding from this chest of Sant Cugat del Rec. The relics are now in the crypt of the basilica of Santa Maria del Mar.
Many churches in Europe, from the Middle Ages onwards, claimed his relics, including Reichenau; the cathedrals of Braga, Oviedo; and Lièpvre, whose monastery had been founded by Fulrad, who had already brought some of the saint's relics to Saint-Denis.
Veneration in France[edit]
He is venerated at Paris, since some of his relics are enshrined at the church of Saint-Denis, in the Chapelle Saint-Cucuphas. Near Rueil-Malmaison, there is a forest named Bois de St-Cucufa, as well as a tiny lake that carries the saint's name.[4] Property of the state since 1871, the forest was called Bois Béranger (Nemus/Boscus Berengerii) until the Benedictines built a chapel dedicated to the saint in the 13th century. Pilgrimages to the shrine of "Saint Quiquenfat" were practiced until the eighteenth century.
Other place-names that may point to a diffusion in France of Cucuphas' cult include Guinelat, Conat, and Coplian.[5]
Veneration in Spain[edit]
The diocese of Girona has several parochial churches dedicated to him.
San Cucao de Llanera is situated in the municipality of Llanera, Asturias.
Concern amongst Catalan devotees of the saint was raised when it was discovered in 2001 that the name of Saint Cucuphas had been removed from the latest version of the Roman Martyrology. However, the saint had been included –under his Latin (and English) name of "Cucuphas" rather than "Cugat." In the martyrology, he was described as a "martyr of the persecution of Diocletian, killed with a sword. Fourth century. African."[6]
Saints Juliana and Semproniana are still venerated at Mataró on July 27. They appear with Cucuphas in the façade of the church of Santa Maria de Mataró.
He is not generally associated with any special patronage, although Ángel Rodríguez Vilagrán writes that Joan Amades' Costumari Català mentions that anciently, hunchbacks venerated Cucuphas as their patron saint, as well as those who committed petty thefts.[6] The origins of this patronage are not known.

("Swisher Hygiene") (Nasdaq:SWSH) (TSX:SWI), a leading provider of essential hygiene and sanitizing products and services, announced today that it has filed its 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

First Quarter 2012 Highlights

- Total revenue from continuing operations of $58.2 million, a 171% increase compared to the prior-year period. Hygiene revenue from company-owned operations, excluding acquisitions, increased 19% from the prior-year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.1 million based on a net loss from continuing operations of $13.3 million. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures, please review the disclosures and table included with this release.

"Our progress in filing our outstanding financials continues with today's filing of our first quarter 2012 Form 10-Q and our plan to complete the filings of our second and third quarter 2012 Form 10-Qs as soon as possible," said Thomas Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Swisher Hygiene.

"While our cost of sales increased as a percentage of our revenue due primarily to entering the wholesale chemical sales business in the latter half of 2011 through our acquisitions of Daley, Cavalier and Kitter, we saw considerable improvement in our route expense as a percentage of revenue through our initial route consolidation initiatives. We remain dedicated to serving our customers nationwide on a day-to-day basis with our comprehensive core chemical program as well as our complementary hygiene and sanitation services, and we look forward to providing additional 2012 results in the near future."

Mistrial declared in Pa. senator's corruption case
PITTSBURGH A judge ordered a mistrial in the public corruption case against a state senator Thursday after ruling documents used by the defense had the key prosecution witness' signature pasted onto them to undercut her credibility.
Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning said a fraud had been perpetrated against the court. He ordered a mistrial on charges against state Sen. Jane Orie, R-Allegheny, and her sister, Janine Orie, 56. The judge further angered Orie's defense attorney, William Costopoulos, when he brought the jury into the courtroom to explain his decision.
Costopoulos argued it was "outrageous" to conclude the defense altered them, and that Manning stating so publicly might jeopardize any eventual retrial.
"It's a fraud on the court, on the jury and on the justice system," Manning said. "And frankly Mr. Costopoulos, that's what's outrageous here."
Sen. Orie, 49, and her sister, Janine, remain charged with conspiring to use the senator's staff to do campaign work for a third sister, Joan Orie Melvin, when she was elected to the state Supreme Court in 2009. The senator, alone, also is charged with using her state-funded staff to do political work since 2001 that benefited her and Melvin's failed Supreme Court bid in 2003. The charges against Orie also include removing some document evidence from her office and tampering with another key document even before Deputy District Attorney Law Claus raised questions about two new documents Thursday.
Manning said the evidence will remain in the court's custody so both sides can determine their authenticity before a new trial is scheduled. That's expected to take months - and Costopoulos promised to contest a new trial on double jeopardy grounds. Costopoulos wanted the jury to render a verdict and said prosecutors could later file charges if they could prove any wrongdoing with the documents in question.
The attorneys and parties couldn't comment on Manning's decision because of a gag order he imposed last year.
But based on comments by Claus and Manning in court, questions remain about who altered the two documents in question, and others authenticated by the senator and used to undercut the key witness, Orie's former chief of staff, Jamie Pavlot.
"Mr. Costopoulos, I have nothing but the highest regard for you, but I think you ought to look in your own house for the culprit," Manning said. Claus told the judge the documents could result in more criminal charges, without specifying a target.
Costopoulos told the jury the case rested on Pavlot's credibility. Pavlot testified the senator's staff routinely did political work and that Orie even gave them comp time for doing so. Pavlot's credibility took a hit when she claimed she never saw the two documents, which bore the "signatures" Manning deemed bogus, because they included comments from Orie that strongly suggested Pavlot both controlled the senator's staff and was told to prohibit campaigning on state time.
The judge was incredulous after Costopoulos said he couldn't see the apparent manipulations magnified on a document projector, saying "Ray Charles could see that those signatures were doctored." But Manning granted a two-hour delay during which Claus found a document expert who testified the signatures were cut-and-pasted onto the documents.

| Bequeathed with great magic, my sisters began a fight in order to secure the world's peace. A seedbed to make the world revere the flower that would eventually destroy them.
An Intoner (ウタウタイ Utautai ) is a god-like being introduced in Drakengard 3 that possesses enhanced magic capabilities through the manipulation of magic via Songs. They mostly appear in the form of beautiful, young women branded with numbers on their foreheads.
The Intoners are hailed as Goddesses descended from the skies due to their bountiful gifts of peace and tranquility to the peoples of Midgard. Their abilities vary in certain respects although their strengths retain a similarity in that most are equally capable of eliminating one another, with a select few possessing outstanding aspects overall. While experiencing a remarkable magnitude of strength, the Intoners are also subject to the odd side-effect of having a certain part of their body growing at an increasingly dangerous rate - for example, Three's hair and (one of) Four's nails.
Intoners are also known to have a very high sex drive and depending on the Intoner's personality, she may either range from being a virgin to being utterly insatiable. They usually possess bodyguards called Disciples to sate these sexual desires, while also defending the Intoner in question. They can also lend their powers to the Disciples to summon forth their magnificent beasts called Angels when faced with the threat of danger. When completely dominated by the flower, an Intoner can also summon Angels unaided, and even a dragon.
Prior to the arrival of Intoners to the world, they are never mentioned within the annals of history. It is later revealed that the reason for a lack of information regarding Intoners is that they are actually beings created to destroy humanity and essentially, the world itself. The parasitic flower inhabiting Zero had manifested for itself a corporeal host to destroy the world as that had been its sole purpose. Upon realization of what the flower had intended, Zero committed suicide, only to be resurrected by the accursed flower that had also been made aware of her intentions.
In retaliation to Zero and as a defense mechanism of sorts, the flower decided to resurrect other young girls within the vicinity to share the power it had granted Zero thus giving birth to the current generation of Intoners, otherwise known as Zero's sisters or copies. Naturally, these sisters shied away from Zero to bring peace to the world per the flower's villainous request. Hence, the events of Drakengard 3 depicts Zero annihilating her "sisters" in order to save the world. Upon being killed, their bodies release a grand cloud of black smog, signalling a release of the flower's evil powers. As Intoners are vulnerable to the powers of a dragon, Mikhail consumes their bodies to enhance his own abilities.
In battle, Intoners display an elevated combat ability interspersed with their individual powers. They also have the capability of entering a state of extended power. Since Intoners possess a share of the power granted by the flower to Zero, they also possess a modicum of regenerative abilities, albeit slightly weaker. When an Intoner other than Zero taps into the flower's regeneration ability however, she may actually turn into an undead zombie rather than retaining her form in life as illustrated in the case of Five.
Drakengard 3
Branch A
During the final confrontation between Zero and One, Mikhail is mortally wounded. After One is killed, Zero is killed by her male clone. The male One eventually sets up the Cult of Watchers in his sister's memory and leaves descendents among the human population, meaning the Intoner bloodline persists.
Branch B: The Price
After Five and Four's deaths, in the Land of Forests, the environment is destabilized, and the remaining three Intoner sisters are in the forest. Three dies from the poison of the forest, while One is killed by a deranged Two. In the battle with her, both Two and Zero's disciples are killed, but Mikhail is killed by a Watcher summoned in Two's final moments. Zero then transplants her flower into Mikhail and creates the first pact, resurrecting him and regressing to a child form.
Branch C: Emesis
After Zero kills Five, Four and Three, they next meet Two in the Cathedral City. During the battle, the disciples kill her and are killed themselves when Two explodes. Zero and One then engage in battle: their dragons are killed and they are sent into rages. One is killed by Zero, but Zero is left in a mentally broken state.
Branch D: The Flower
The Intoners excepting Zero and One are consumed by the Flower's power, with Two hinted to have been killed by it. Each of the surviving Intoners is able to summon either a Watcher or a dragon of some kind Four is sent insane, and Five's attempt to resurrect herself transforms her into a zombie-like vessel of the flower. Zero kills them both, then confronts Three, who is able to summon an Ancient Dragon without it breaking her mind. Zero and Mikhail eventually succeed in killing the dragon and Three.
After their final battle, Zero consumes One and allows the flower to bloom within her. Giant statues of the six Intoners appear with the flower as a base and with Zero in the middle. This results in a rhythm mini-game wherein the player controls Mikhail and needs to be in tune with the movements of the Intoner statues and the song playing within the background. Following completion of the mini-game, the Intoner statues crumble into pieces. It is mentioned by Accord that the Intoners are sealed in another dimension, nullifying their threat.
Known IntonersEdit
- It is speculated that the Watchers are their legacy as the form of the Queen-Beast from Drakengard resembles an Intoner who had fully undergone the parasitic flower's transformation. It is also possible that the Intoners are the original bid by the gods to regain control of the world and destroy humanity, or that the Intoners, via the flower, are the avatars of one of the gods.

Men's Basketball Governor's Holiday Hoops Classic, James Johnson, Juvonte Reddic, Melvin Johnson, Rob Brandenberg, Shaka Smart 4 Comments
RICHMOND, Va. – Shaka Smart is about as cerebral a coach as there is in college basketball, one who can effortlessly quote Mark Twain, Maya Angelou and John Keats in the same conversation. But Saturday, following VCU's 82-52 victory over Virginia Tech at the Richmond Coliseum, he was, but for a moment, reduced to something more along the lines of Bill S. Preston, Esquire.
When asked to elaborate on how it felt to watch his team stage an is-this-really-happening 37-2 blitzkreig that blew the game wide open in the first half, Smart pondered, grinned and leaned into the microphone.
"It was fun," he mused.
Sometimes less is more. What Smart's taut assessment revealed was both his delight in the Rams' success, as well as the sheer magnitude of the performance. In one 11-minute segment, VCU turned a 6-0 deficit into a 37-8 blowout. It wasn't so much basketball as art. In the Havoc genre, this was the Mona Lisa, painted in less time than it takes to make a meatloaf.
That run, which VCU finished with 31 straight points, keyed the Rams' most dominant performance of the season, one which saw sophomore Melvin Johnson explode for a career-high 27 points and eight 3-pointers.

RICHMOND, Va. – Before Sunday's game, Juvonte Reddic worked on Power Poses. During the game, he struck a pose of dominance and lifted VCU to a 69-48 victory over Old Dominion at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
Reddic, cashing in on a game plan geared to exploit VCU's size advantage over the Monarchs (just two ODU regulars stand as tall as 6-foot-7), delivered season highs of 24 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots. Reddic used a series of post moves, baby hooks, dunks and putbacks on the way to an efficient 12-of-16 shooting performance. He was just four points shy of his career high.
Behind Reddic, VCU outrebounded Old Dominion 50-35 and grabbed 27 offensive rebounds. Five or Reddic's caroms came on the offensive end, and VCU outscored ODU 30-9 in second-chance points.
While Sunday's effort was Reddic's best of the season to date, it was just the most recent in a series of good games for the 6-foot-9 forward of late. In his last six games, Reddic has produced four double-doubles and five double-digit rebounding games. In those six games, he's averaging 15.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and shooting .574 (39-of-68) from the field. It's a dramatic shift from the beginning of the season, when Reddic averaged 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and recorded no double-doubles in the first four games.
The difference Reddic says, is in his mental and emotional state. He's more plugged in now, and it's paying off.

RICHMOND, Va. – On the busiest shopping day of the year, VCU made sure to stop by the Siegel Center to pick up an important victory. Like Big Hugs Elmo dolls, they are in demand, and require a certain level of grit, persistence and focus to procure one; Although the eye-gouging was left to the Target parking lot squabbles.
There's no such thing as a "must-win" game in November, but there are the kind that you'd really like to have, and even the kind you probably really need. VCU's 79-66 win over Northeastern Friday at the Verizon Wireless Arena is likely some combination of both.
VCU, coming off a 1-2 trip to the Puerto Rico Tip-Off last week, which including a stinging blowout loss to Florida State and a frustratingly just-out-of-reach setback to Georgetown, came home looking to get well. The Rams were trying to do so against a Northeastern team that has traditionally been a tough out for VCU…and had just beaten Georgetown…and played Florida State to the wire…and VCU was without two of its top eight players in Jordan Burgess (knee sprain) and Terrance Shannon (family matter).
This would not be a Black Friday giveaway. If the Rams were going to put Puerto Rico in their rearview mirror, they were going to have to earn it in the claw-your-way-past-Wal-Mart-shoppers way.

RICHMOND, Va. – Sorry, Mo Alie-Cox, we didn't know any better.
Generally, whenever a power forward or center finds himself on an island beyond the 3-point arc, the audience treats it like a stunt from Jackass. They egg the big guy on until he agrees and lets the shot fly, then they gasp in horror. And much like the guy who rides down a steep hill in a shopping cart while on fire, the audience goes nuts when he sticks the landing.
It continues this way until the audience is convinced that this isn't just a parlor trick, that it's an actual feature of the player's game. There are a lot more Chris Kamans in the world than Arvydas Sabonises, so it takes longer for the big guys to gain the public's trust.
So when Alie-Cox, a chiseled, 6-foot-6, 250-pound power forward, found himself marooned with the ball atop the 3-point line with 14 minutes remaining in a six-point game Saturday night, he was met with the usual roar of curious encouragement. Calmly, Alie-Cox sized up the shot and buried it.
"That's been a shot I've been working on all summer. Coach told me, if I'm wide open, shoot it. Or if I'm not, just go ahead and reverse it. They left me wide open, so I just hoisted up the shot and it went in," Alie-Cox said afterwards.

RICHMOND, Va. – Although Terrance Shannon shared the Alamodome court with Rob Brandenberg and Juvonte Reddic that night in San Antonio, he does not share their cheerful recollection of the evening's events.
It was March 25, 2011. Brandenberg and Reddic were freshmen on a VCU team in the midst of one of the NCAA Tournament's most memorable Cinderella romps to the Final Four. Shannon, meanwhile, was on the opposing sideline of that Sweet 16 matchup as a member of a favored Florida State team. Those final moments are permanently pressed into the psyches of all three players; the Joey Rodriguez-to-Bradford Burgess inbounds play for the winning score in overtime, the Brandenberg blocked shot at the final horn that clinched a 72-71 VCU win and set Rams' play-by-play broadcaster Robby Robinson on hyperbolic repeat.
Although it was nearly three years ago, Shannon hasn't shaken the feeling.
"Here I don't talk much about it because still to this day, I get mad every time I see a Final Four shirt or the picture of the 72-71 score in the coaches' office," he says through a disarming grin.

RICHMOND, Va. – Shaka Smart blew into his postgame press conference like the cool November breeze. He was, as always, polite, but curt. He was also direct. When asked if any of his players had turned in an "exceptional" performance Friday night, he barely entertained the thought.
"No," he said, flatly.
He didn't look like a guy who just watched his team open its season by thrashing Illinois State 96-58. He wasn't so much upset as he was unsatisfied. He wasn't angry, just pragmatic. Not that Smart would ever accept the first game of the season as anything but the maiden voyage of a five-month odyssey, but things have clearly changed. The Rams are the 14th-ranked team in the country. Smart's personal Overton Window has shifted in step with the momentum of the program. His tone acknowledged that there was no value in a victory lap in November, especially not for a team with this kind of potential.
"It was our first game and the guys did a lot of good things, but we obviously have a lot to get better at," Smart said.
It wasn't obvious to everybody. A few minutes earlier, beleaguered Illinois State Coach Dan Muller capped his press conference by telling the assembled media: "Thanks guys. Sorry the game was so bad."
To put that in perspective, after watching his squad get throttled for 40 minutes by the 14th-ranked team in the country, Muller felt compelled to apologize for the beating that he'd just received.

Column: 'I had an idea I wasn't going to make it'
Detroit manager Jim Leyland arrived at the Tigers' training camp Monday in Lakeland, Fla., marking 50 seasons since he first showed up there as a pencil-thin 18-year-old prospect.
If you were expecting sepia-tinged memories about a kid from Ohio basking in the sunshine and seeing his dream laid out in front of him, well, you don't know Leyland. Or at least not well enough.
"I remember going over to watch the big-league guys as soon as I got there and saw the caliber of play. And shortly after that, I had a good idea I wasn't going to make it - not as a ballplayer, anyway," he recalled during a telephone interview.
He was right. Leyland's first paycheck was for $125, "and that was for two weeks," he chuckled. He went on to become, in his own words, "a Double-A backup, flunky catcher" who never hit better than .243.
"I hung around for seven years in the minors and they (the Tigers organization) decided the rest for me. First, they made me a player-coach and then one of the fellas who was supposed to manage the rookie league team wandered off somewhere, so they said, `Why don't you give it a try?' That was 1971," he added. "So things worked out pretty good.'
Leyland is so understated it's easy to get the impression that his career and all that success - almost 1,700 wins, three manager of the year awards, a World Series title and runner-up finish in 2012 - were little more than a string of happy accidents. In truth, for most of his career, Leyland was rarely in the right place at the right time long enough for lightning to strike.
He spent his first 11 seasons managing in five different towns at different levels of the minors, occasionally stuck with teams so bad that a half-dozen errors and 10 walks per game were routine. He endured eating in truck stops and being stranded on two-lane highways alongside buses with flat tires at 4 o'clock in the morning. When Leyland finally made it to the major leagues in 1982, with an assist from close pal and then-White Sox manager Tony La Russa, it was as a third-base coach.
"It didn't take long to see just how good he was, but I knew a little about that when we got him," La Russa said. "I managed against Jim the first time in Triple-A in 1979, and we did it a lot more than I wanted to after that. He's got a real passion for competing."
Turns out Leyland has a passion for more than just competing, though the rest of us rarely see it. La Russa laughed out loud when told how the only story Leyland recounted about his first visit to Lakeland was realizing he wasn't a good enough ballplayer to carve out a living for long.
"That's perfect," said La Russa, who retired after the 2011 season. "Jim's a funny guy, engaging and interesting and fun to be around - when it's just coaches and players. He likes to sing, too, but almost nobody knows it, because he takes being the leader of the team seriously, at least when he thinks it's time to compete. ... So not being nostalgic, not wanting to sound distracted, that's Jim, too. It just means he's already in compete mode."

Revised and Improved
Positions of Southern Variable Stars
pdf ps

Yale University
Observatory, P. O. Box 6666, New Haven, CT 06511
Received: 22 February
Improved positions for
variable stars located south of the equator are being determined by measuring the first-epoch plates of the
Yale-San Juan astrometric survey. The new positions, referred to the system of
the SRS, have an average standard error of 0.7 in both RA and Dec. Some of the
differences between these new positions and those quoted in the General Catalog
of Variable Stars (Kholopov et al. 1985) are as large as one degree. Variable
stars having more than one name assigned to them are also identified.

love this jacket it runs a big large and i absolutly love it i wear almost all the time i cant help it it confortable and i love the color in the jean. April 9, 2015
Just ok This is cute...I am usually an XS but got it in a small. Glad I did. However, it's not worth the full price. If I hadn't bought it 50% off and used a coupon it would be going back. the "sweatshirt" sleeves are more like a long sleeve t-shirt, not nearly the same thickness as a sweatshirt or even sweater. There is no warmth whatsoever to this thing. On the plus side it looks cute, and it will be cute in the spring and fall. December 6, 2013
Loving it!!! I bought this because I needed a hoodie that was cute and stylish without looking like the usual cookie-cutter hooded sweatshirt. I ordered my usual size(M/10), and it fit great. I have a DD chest,broad shoulders and long arms, so if buying coats or jackets at Express I usually go a size larger. I did not have to with this one though because of the jersey sleeves, plenty of stretch. I bought this to wear with casual outfits, and it can be dressed up too. When it arrived in the mail I happened to have a lace pencil skirt on at the time, and when I wore my jacket, I REALLY liked the look. Whether I button it up or not, I caan still see my waistline so I don't lose my figure in the fit, it's not boxy for me, probably because of my large chest. November 19, 2013
Love it! I had been searching for this type of jacket for a very long time. It doesnt get very cold here in AZ, but at nights you do need a jacket. It is perfect. If you need more warmth, you layer with a long sleeve shirt or sweater. Im normally a medium, my normal size fit perfect. November 10, 2013
Love this jacket! I bought this in the store and absolutely love it. It's a very lightweight jacket and is really comfy. I'm 5"3 130lb bought a medium fits perfect. It's perfect for over a t shirt on a little cooler day. Looks super stylish and you Can were it anyplace. This is not a real warm coat but more like a sweater or windbreaker weight. So if you are looking for something cuter then a windbreaker this is it, nice Youthful cool look. I was looking all over for a hooded Jean vest and this is perfect. It's not too short or cropped just right for a pair of jeans. I'd say fits true to size. Every other hooded vest Was that tiny junior cut where it's skin tight and Cropped This was more of a women's fit. November 2, 2013

Ready, Willing and Able to Meet Mr. Right
About the pictures: when opportunity knocks, I answer. Match allows for 24 photos. I post 24 because I think pictures tell a story. It's difficult to tell anything about a person who posts one, less difficult if he posts 8, and easiest, for me, if he posts 24. Only my opinion, and certainly not scientific. I am single, although I haven't always been. At this point in my life, I cherish my independence and hope that the guy I meet would feel the same way. I like doing lots of things together, and I also like being alone. Passive-aggressive behavior is not my thing; with me those around me know where I stand. I would like to meet a person who is fulfilled in his life, and is looking for a partner to complement his fulfillment. Although I live a fairly active life traveling, socializing, and working, my favorite moments are spent quietly, at home, either alone or with someone special. I am a romantic at heart, emotionally available and affectionate; I would like to find someone with the same qualities (and "sanity" is a big one on my list). If you like a man in a suit, dress shoes and socks, here I am. And I also like a guy in t-shirt and jeans. I am a "white-bread" kind of guy, looking for the same. Travel is a real passion. This year I have been to London twice, home on the QM2, and spent time in San Francisco and Rhode Island. This week I leave for a week in San Francisco. In November I will again be on a ship in a warm climate. I would like to visit the National Parks with someone compatible, someone who likes to drive and take it easy. This companion doesn't have to be a lover. If you have an interest in the parks, we may be good traveling companions. Don't be reluctant to speak on the phone. Like photos, I think a phone conversation further completes the picture. And if we are not compatible, we may know someone for each other. My philosophy: keep the doors open.

Foreign films are a big love, and so is reading. I am also a political junkie. I am not a shopper (although I am a sucker for classic Armani suits), I love to nap on weekends, and I really like to watch a great movie in bed. Travel on ships.
I like to look over the past year and review what I did. Last year, I took a trip around the world in January: India for both business and pleasure, Thailand for the people, San Fran and Chicago to see friends. I spent 18 days in Bangkok.

Paris-based Carrefour's turnaround strategy launched last year by new CEO Georges Plassat, which includes store refurbishments and efforts to bring a more local feel to neighborhood stores, has started to pay off in France, the company reported Thursday. Total sales rose 1.4% in the second quarter, and sales in France fell 0.2%, compared to a 0.7% drop in the first quarter, even as residents coped with another recession and ongoing high unemployment.

MANILA, Philippines—About 45 houses were burned down after a fire razed at Brgy. 201 St. Joseph Merville Access road in Kalayaan Village, Pasay City.
According to Pasay City Fire department's SF2 Bernardo Bermejo, the fire started around 6:35 pm on Saturday and reached Task Force Alpha (5th alarm) around 7:20 pm.

The fire was declared under control at 12:44 a.m. Sunday.
Bermejo said no reported injuries or death during the fire which spread in a residential area occupied by informal settlers.
Victims were immediately brought at the nearby barangay hall.
Arsonist investigators are yet to identify the cause of fire, according to Bermejo.

Mark Obom, owner of Obom Construction in Lake Stevens, has already been painting the interior walls, applying decorative stones to the exterior walls and reconfiguring the layout of the restrooms at the north end of Comeford Park, to add changing rooms for the spraypark, but Obom's contract is separate from that awarded to the Oregon-based Kelaye Concrete. "The addition of changing rooms to the restrooms at Comeford Park is coming from the city's general fund," city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew said, while paying a visit to Obom in Comeford Park on Thursday, March 20. "The construction of the spraypark is coming from a combination of the city's capital fund and donations from the community." The city put the spraypark construction project out to bid on March 6 and received five bids, with Kelaye Concrete coming in as the low bidder at $179,624.40, including state sales tax.

Tyr-Sog, I think your complaint is the only well-grounded one I've seen.
Don't get me wrong Ninjaman, last nite was great not playing games. I got a lot of stuff done around the house. My problem is that I have had nothing but server problems since I got this game. I get boot much of the.
You may have had a better experience tham me and that is great but all I can go by is the service I have receive since I started it. We pay for their servers to be up and running not for patch after patch and down time. If your ISP had this level if incompitence you would move to another ISP. This is not difference. If you are not getting the service they advertised then you are well with in your right to move to a competitor. The fact that it is just a game is not an argument. It is a service contract we all pay for.
If this happend once in a great while I wouldn't think about it twice but it happens almost every other day for me. Before you start questioning my computer spec and my ISP please don't. I have been playing games on line for a very long time and my computer is more than fine. I know what to expect from on line gaming. This is the same problem I had with UBI. I refuse to buy any of their product and play them on line. They plane suck. Blizzard is theaching me the same lesson. It is a shame to because I love this game dispite the fact that the warrior is under powered compared to other classes.

A company's plan to frack for natural gas about a half mile from a Pennsylvania school district of 3,200 kids has been suspended, just weeks after a group of concerned parents and environmentalists launched a legal challenge against the project.
Tuesday's midterm elections opened up a host of state-level green energy policies to GOP attacks. But they also put a climate hawk into the governor's office of the country's third-largest carbon emitter.
Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) sent a letter on Wednesday to the state's Department of Environmental Protection, saying his subcommittee was launching an investigation into the adequacy of Pennsylvania's laws governing fracking waste disposal.
The law reduces the costs of bringing a pro-gun lawsuit, it deputizes the NRA to police gun laws enacted by city and town councils, and it gives the NRA an incentive to file as many suits as it can as quickly as possible.

Tessa Wegert | March 31, 2011 | Comments
Ralph Lauren recently launched a memorable digital campaign that has left a favorable impression on the brand and publisher site.
There's more to a great digital campaign than great ad creative. An innovative ad may engage, and it may incite an immediate response…but if that's where the action ends, so too does the brand experience.
If you think back to the most memorable digital campaigns you've seen, you'll likely uncover a pattern: a rich media ad format leads into an interactive microsite, which in turn points the user to a distinctive environment within which to make a purchase. These are the campaigns that get both consumers and the media talking and leave a favorable impression of both brand and publisher site.
One such campaign recently surfaced on iVillage. Just in time for spring, apparel giant Ralph Lauren launched "The RL Gang: A Magically Magnificent School Adventure," a follow-up to the brand's first online storybook, "The RL Gang," which launched last summer. Part fairytale, part clickable (and shoppable) video, the effort – which is narrated by actress Uma Thurman – uses an adorable cast of young characters to showcase looks from Ralph Lauren's new spring collection.
In the RL Gang story, a class of young students welcomes a new arrival by "painting a party." As they begin to paint, they find that what they put on the canvas appears in the classroom, beginning with vines that envelop the room and transform it into a garden.
Through the month of March when consumers visit iVillage.com they will be able to witness this same transformation on the publisher's home page. A rich media banner promoting the RL campaign doesn't just expand to present the video, it initiates the appearance of the same painted tangle of vines experienced by the storybook characters themselves. As the vines wind their way from the top of page banner down the screen, the iVillage home page content dissolves to reveal a full-page Ralph Lauren "ad" complete with the interactive storybook video. The immediate effect is that the user's interaction with the banner reveals a magical second world, an impression that is later cemented by the video itself.
To further encourage consumer interaction, Ralph Lauren incorporated a social media contest into the campaign. Until the end of March, parents in the U.S. and the U.K. are invited to submit photos of their children, which Facebook users and fans of the Ralph Lauren Facebook page will have the opportunity to view. Their votes will determine the winner, who will appear in an upcoming online storybook. Timing the contest to coincide with the release of the brand's current shoppable storybook serves to drive additional traffic and word of mouth.
As a publisher, iVillage is known for delivering memorable home page takeovers, but a takeover ad doesn't necessarily guarantee the depth of experience that consumers receive from the RL Gang campaign. It comes back to the issue of substance: the ad itself may be magnificent, but what happens after it has resolved? Is the consumer left with enough of a brand impression to warrant the investment? Has the brand done its part in extending the allure of the ad beyond the publisher home page?
In the case of Ralph Lauren's RL Gang, the ad isn't just an extension of the site on which it appears – it's an extension of the marketing content. Users who begin the brand's "virtual shopping experience" on iVillage are able to instantly understand what the campaign is all about because instead of luring them to a payoff that can only be obtained on the brand site or microsite, the ad in fact launches the experience. In its placement and design it has just as much whimsy as the product it promotes. And that alone makes the ad a success.

Source: Hewitt out at Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has fired Paul Hewitt as its basketball coach, a source confirmed to CBSSports.com early Saturday.
An official announcement is expected soon.
Hewitt led Georgia Tech to the NCAA tournament title game in 2004 but hasn't had a winning ACC record in the seven subsequent seasons. He made the NCAA tournament in just two of his final six seasons. Hewitt's $7 million buyout has long been considered a hurdle to his termination. But Georgia Tech officials decided to move in another direction and informed Hewitt of the decision Saturday morning.
Hewitt coached 11 seasons at Georgia Tech.
He was a serious candidate for the St. John's job last year.

Hewitt passes on St. John's
Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt has passed on the opportunity to coach St. John's.
A source told CBSSports.com that Hewitt informed school officials Thursday after basically concluding that the job he has now (Georgia Tech) is better than the job he could've had in the next few seasons (St. John's). Beyond that, Hewitt's buyout at Georgia Tech is roughly $7 million, meaning the worst case scenario has him walking with a huge check if Georgia Tech decides to fire him in the coming years.
St. John's will now turn its attention to secondary candidates, perhaps Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg. Cornell's Steve Donahue is another possible candidate, although he has said many times he won't discuss anything with anybody until the Big Red's season is complete. They play Kentucky late Thursday in the Sweet 16.
St. John's is looking for a coach to replace Norm Roberts.
He was fired last week after six seasons.

St. John's gets permission to speak with Hewitt
St. John's officials have received permission to speak about the school's coaching vacancy with Georgia Tech's Paul Hewitt, a New York native who might be willing to move back home after 10 seasons in Atlanta.
Hewitt has made five NCAA tournaments -- including the 2004 national title game -- but endured criticism in recent years because of a lack of postseason success. A source told CBSSports.com that no meeting is yet scheduled and that the parties will not meet Tuesday. Wednesday is more likely, according to the source.
St. John's fired Norm Roberts last week.
Hewitt led Georgia Tech to a 23-13 record this season.
The Yellow Jackets lost to Ohio State in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Georgia Tech lands nation's top recruit
Derrick Favors announced Monday night that he plans to enroll at Georgia Tech.
The 6-foot-9 forward from Atlanta is the nation's top high school senior, according to Scout.com. He has long been expected to choose between Georgia Tech and Georgia, meaning his decision to remain in his home state is hardly a surprise but still a huge development for Paul Hewitt. Furthermore, it continues the Yellow Jackets' trend of luring five-star recruits -- from Lewis Clinch in 2005, Thaddeus Young and Javaris Crittenton in 2006, Gani Lawal in 2007 and Iman Shumpert in 2008 -- and almost certainly alleviates some of the pressure on Hewitt, who took a 9-6 record into Wednesday night's game against Duke.

Not sure where he's projected. 3-5 I guess?

Yea probably in the 3rd to 5th round range. Could be a target, he is a play maker and a return threat as well. Could use him in the backfield as well in the OC is trying to mix things up. Definitely someone to keep an eye on.

Got a fourth round grade.
I'd love to have him in the fourth, but if nobody great is available in the 3rd, even there.

i'd rather have him then adams

Ala Hester.
I think he is a bit more talented than hester as a receiver.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 03:32 PM
He does not seem to have that Tavon Austin speed but he is a consistent returner and more polished receiver than Joe Adams. He reminds me a bit of a Randall Cobb who was used less...shame really bc he would have been used quite a bit next year and his draft stock would be in the 2nd 3rd range probably.
He is explosive after the catch..now if he runs a 4.3 his is late 2nd early 3rd..

We'd have to take him basically to replace Joe Adams, but I don't think that would be the worst thing in the world. He's a fantastic return man who would likely start from day one at that position, but would need time to develop as a receiver. That being said, unlike Adams and despite his size I do think he can become a legitimate receiver in the NFL with proper coaching. Probably would have benefitted from another year at SC in that department, but I'd still take him if the value was right.

He's definitely a playmaker. Probably the best Gamecock in the draft outside Swearinger.
