Oil on all these samples was analyzed at WHOI using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography. The technique identifies the thousands of individual chemical compounds that comprise different oils from different reservoirs. The chemistry of the oil on the debris matched that of oil sampled directly from the broken pipe from the Macondo well above the Deepwater Horizon rig.
In addition, one piece of debris from the Chandeleur Islands retained a weathered red sticker that read "Cuming" with the numbers 75-1059 below it. Reddy found a company called Cuming Corporation in Avon, Mass., which manufactures syntactic foam flotation equipment for the oil and gas industry. He e-mailed photos of the specimen to the company, and within hours, a Cuming engineer confirmed from the serial number that the foam came from a buoyancy module from Deepwater Horizon.
"We realized that the foam and the oil were released into the environment at the same time," Reddy said. "So we had a unique tracer that was independent of the oil itself to chronicle how oil and debris drifted out from the spill site."
The scientists overlaid the locations where they found honeycomb debris on May 5 and 7 with daily forecasts produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the trajectory of the spreading oil slick. NOAA used a model that incorporated currents and wind speeds, along with data from planes and satellites. On both days, the debris was about 6.2 miles ahead of the spreading slick.
The explanation, the scientists said, is the principle of leeway, a measure of how fast wind or waves push materials. The leeway for fresh oil is 3 to 3.3 percent, but the scientists suspected that "the protruding profile of the buoyant material" acted acting like a sail, allowing wind to drive it faster than and ahead of the floa

In Benguet, lessons on disaster preparedness
A Canadian program aims to make disaster preparedness "a way of life" in one of the country's most hazard-prone provinces.
The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), which is run by the Canadian Embassy in the Philippines, is supporting a disaster preparedness training in schools.
To be conducted by the nongovernment organization, People's Initiative for Learning and Community Development (PILCD), the program aims to empower Benguet's school communities to cope with calamities.
"Equipping teachers and students with knowledge and skills to respond to natural disasters can minimize property damage and loss of lives," says a Canadian Embassy statement.
"The education sector has a key role [to play] to prevent hazards from becoming disasters. DRR (disaster risk reduction) in education equips people with knowledge and skills, so that hazards cause the least possible loss of human life and inflict as little damage and destruction as possible," PILCD program coordinator Marivic Patawaran says.
Under the program, Benguet teachers and school administrators train elementary and high school students in disaster risk reduction and management techniques, including closely monitoring weather bulletins and storm warnings.
"With an eye to the future, schools also integrate lessons on climate change, waste segregation and pollution and their consequent effects. The project teaches the values of environmental protection and a keen sense of proactive planning for disasters to avoid the unnecessary loss of lives and property when these calamities strike," adds the Canadian Embassy statement.
Benguet is listed as one of five Philippine provinces with a "very high risk" of being hit by earthquakes and landslides, according to the Manila Observatory's 2005 disaster vulnerability study, the embassy points out.
The province has suffered heavy flooding caused by typhoons in the last decade.
"That is why disaster management should not be a choice but should be a way of life," says Benguet Gov. Nestor Fongwan in a statement.
Natural disasters annually damage—if not destroy—critical school resources, from classrooms and school furniture to computers and books.
Schools also serve as evacuation centers for families displaced by disaster, prolonging the disruption of regular classes.
Citing figures from the Department of Education, PILCD says typhoons caused some P3 billion in damage in about 5,600 buildings in Southern Luzon in 2006 alone.

Strategic importance
The Romans saw strategic rather than defensive value in the Edinburgh plain between the Pentland Hills and the Forth. During three or four decades in the second half of the 2nd century ad, the Antonine Wall, stretching across Scotland between the River Clyde and the Firth of Forth, was the northernmost defense in Roman Britain, and the site of Cramond (a major Roman garrison), a village on the Forth within the modern city boundary, was the point at which one of Roman Britain's major north-south roads terminated. (The find in the late 1990s of a sculpture of a lioness, dating from the 2nd or 3rd century ad, in the River Almond in Cramond underscores the importance of the site for the Romans.) The road, with major forts at Dalkeith and Inveresk on the southeastern approaches to the present city, cut through what is now the Meadows district of Edinburgh and guarded access to the Carse of Stirling (valley of the River Forth) and the approach to the west and north.
The Votadini, the dominant Celtic tribe of the Lothians, with whom Rome had a relatively stable relationship, were the group most likely to have occupied the Castle Rock site. The Votadini capital was on Traprain Law, a cone-shaped hill (law) some 20 miles (30 km) east of the modern city, but it appears that about ad 500, after the Roman withdrawal from Britain, the capital was moved to the site of the present castle. A Welsh poem composed about ad 600 describes how a band of the Gododdin (as the Votadini were known in Welsh), from around a place called Din Eidyn, attacked an Anglian force at Catterick in Yorkshire and was annihilated. Din Eidyn—"Eidyn's Hill Fort"—is clearly the Castle Rock site. In the following centuries Anglian invaders seem to have vanquished the Gododdin, and by ad 854 Din Eidyn (spelled Dun Eideann in Gaelic) had become Edwinesburh, burh meaning "fortress" or "fortified town." This name later gave rise to the supposition that a Northumbrian princeling called Edwin had founded the town. The date of the poem, however, proves that the name predates Edinburgh's occupation by the Anglians of Northumbria. Although the Castle Rock site has been continuously occupied for at least 3,000 years, little is known of the town itself before the 11th or 12th century.
The medieval city
Mercantile growth
In the early 12th century, St. Margaret's Chapel on the Castle Rock and the gate at the Netherbow to Holyrood Abbey, endowed by Margaret's son King David I, marked the limits of the Old Town, with the parish church of St. Giles between. Sometime in or (more likely) before 1127, David I granted Edinburgh the status of a king's, or royal, burgh, a privilege that promoted trade by allowing Edinburgh to act both as a market and as a centre for organized manufacture (particularly of cloth). When David instituted the earliest Scottish coinage, one of the king's mints was situated in Edinburgh. He also granted the monks (canons) of Holyrood their own burgh with their own jurisdiction, which came to be known as the Canongate. The High Street of Edinburgh ended and the Canongate began at the intersection called Netherbow, where Edinburgh's main town gate (port) was sited.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Trees, Water & People, Fort Collins, CO, USA
It has been an honor to be involved with TWP for the past 11 years. Starting out as a volunteer and recently joining the Board of Directors, I have seen TWP grow as an organization. At the same time, it has been remarkable to watch as TWP's impact in both the United States and in Latin America expanded. TWP's impact has grown due to strong, insightful leadership from program directors that have been able to adapt to continuously evolving environmental and social issues. TWP was on the cutting-edge of the improved cookstove movement as pioneers of implementing the Rocket elbow technology. Likewise, TWP's innovative program on Native Lands in the western US has made them a leader in micro-enterprise development.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Countdown To The 20th Running: The 1996 Brickyard 400
July 06, 2013 | By NASCAR Media
August 3, 1996
Pole Winner:
Jeff Gordon
Race Winner:
Dale Jarrett
The 1996 Brickyard 400 will forever be remembered for the "kiss" that started a lasting tradition.
Dale Jarrett, one of the best big-stage drivers in NASCAR history, had already won two Daytona 500s, including the 1996 edition. This was arguably the next brightest spotlight.
And he starred again, capping off the celebration by kissing the bricks at the start-finish line, a tradition that lives to this day.
The race was the site of new paving that had been added since the previous August, which raised the speed about five miles per hour.
As the race began, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin led the field of 40 cars under the green flag to begin the third annual Brickyard 400. But Gordon's hopes for a second silver brick – the famous trophy awarded Brickyard 400 victors – ended when he cut a right-front tire and drilled the concrete. He limped the DuPont Chevrolet back to the pits, and his crew affected repairs, but Gordon was out of the running.
At the front of the pack now, Kyle Petty ran the point with his Coors Light Pontiac and Johnny Benson followed close behind. Petty then cut a tire and smacked the fourth-turn wall, bouncing off into the path of Sterling Marlin. Benson's yellow Pontiac then led, with his crew working through the pit stops flawlessly with two-tire stops.
Late in the race, Benson and his team made a slight mistake during a late pit stop under caution. Benson fell back to 13
during the restart. Ernie Irvan and Jarrett had worked their way to the front when the green flag fell. Terry Labonte had his Kellogg's Chevrolet at the point, with Ricky Rudd right behind, followed by Jarrett and Irvan. This format lasted 10 laps then Jarrett moved to the point with Irvan in hot pursuit. Irvan then passed Jarrett four laps later and the two Robert Yates Racing Fords began a brilliant duel that lasted the remainder of the race.
With six laps to go, the door finally opened when Irvan drove a little too hard into the corner. Jarrett saw his opportunity and yanked his Ford left and nailed the accelerator. Jarrett drew even with Irvan then regained control of the lead. Jarrett rolled to victory at the Brickyard 400, which was huge for Jarrett and the Yates team.
Jarrett's win marked the first time a Ford had gone to victory lane in the three years of the Brickyard 400 race.

Hospitalized UFC heavyweight Shane del Rosario showed signs of brain activity and was taken off life support this weekend, according to the fighter's teammate and friend Erik Apple.
Del Rosario is now able to breathe independently and he squeezed his mother's hand, Apple added. MMAWeekly.com confirmed the information after an initial report from Sherdog.com.
"He needs to keep fighting," Apple said in a text message. "None of these are definitive. However, they give us some hope."
Apple added that del Rosario has been placed on a respirator, a mask-like device used to prevent the inhalation of noxious substances. The fighter had been on a ventilator, which was used to assist with breathing.
Del Rosario was rushed to a Southern California hospital on Tuesday after having a catastrophic cardiac collapse in his home, the fighter's representative, Jason House, told MMAWeekly.com. He was resuscitated in the emergency room and placed in the coronary care unit.
"Doctors believe he may suffer from a rare condition called Long QT Syndrome, which is a genetic anomaly that can cause a sudden and life-threatening heart rhythm abnormality, and may result in sudden death," House said in a statement. "Tragically, it strikes healthy, young people, and often is the first and only presentation of a heart problem."
My boy Soa looked amazing. Too many people sleeping on him. Pat should get cut. Dude can't take a punch from the big guys. Too late to cut to lhw?
I agree too much damage... but he was still in there trying to knock out Vader just in the ground he was getting worked and wasn't going to get out of that bad position. And yea that's the last thing I read about shane... hope he pulls through. And Sakara... I see what you are saying but I feel most heavy weights would have been knocked out with a 6'4 247? Maybe bigger I forgot... but that big of a guy in full mount... now obviously pat barry small size was a reason why he couldn't get up... but I wouldn't mind seeing him at lhw. I've always been a fan of his... hope he doesn't get cut but wouldn't be surprised.
Yea it sucks that he is lacking so much in the ground game but I do think he has gotten significantly better... it's just that isn't too get still ha. But I have seen him go for submissions and get close... reverse some bad positions in some fights before... just still feel at heavy weight it doesn't matter much cause he can't move underneath them much. He won't ever get too high up rankings either at Hw or lhw but he is super exciting to watch.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Natalie Coughlin's competitive Olympic career will formally end on the first day of the London Games, but there's little doubt she'll transition to unofficial chef de mission for the swim team.
The widely admired 29-year-old veteran slipped into the last 4x100-meter freestyle relay slot by qualifying sixth in the individual 100 Saturday night. After falling short in the 100 backstroke and butterfly, this was her last shootout. Teams can bring as many as six swimmers and often race a different quartet in preliminary heats than they do at night, at the coaches' discretion.
"This isn't the meet I visualized or anticipated going into this year or even into this quadrennium, but right now I couldn't be happier," Coughlin said, pushing her long hair back over her shoulders as she spoke to a large group of reporters immediately after the race.
Swimming the relay on July 28 -- heats are the morning after the Opening Ceremony, and the final is that night -- will be "awesome, a huge honor," she said. "And then I'll be done, and I'll be there to support my teammates and the rest of Team USA, and I think that will be my bigger role at this Olympics."
Coughlin started in Lane 1 on Saturday, but that wasn't quite as much of a disadvantage as it usually is because she had an open lane next to her in the 10-lane pool. "I knew if I wanted to swim well, I had to be out fast," Coughlin said. "I just relied on my turn and tried to hang on the best I could in the last 35 meters. I got it done."
She theorized that she had over-trained this year, and called the buzz about whether she would surpass the women's U.S. Olympic medal record of 11 jointly held by swimmers Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres "a bit distracting," but said she'd love to get No. 12 to move into a three-way tie.
"My emotions this week have been pretty much in check," she said. "I definitely had those moments of panic, but that was two or three weeks ago. The waiting is the hardest part. During taper, when you can't do anything except think about your swim, drives me insane. I love being busy. To only think about this meet is horrible.
"Now that I know what the next four weeks are going to look like, what I'm training for, what to expect, I am much more at ease and I think I'll be better."

Lynxes live in the boreal forests of North America and in the Canadian Rockies. These cats… dine on birds, fish and mammals, primarily snowshoe hares. Cousin to the bobcat, the lynx is characterized by its short body, tufted ears and cheek ruffs. Their paws are large and furry, which evenly distributes their weight while moving over snow. During the spring, females give birth to litters of two to three kittens in stumps or fallen logs to protect them from predators. Lynxes are at risk due to loss of prey species and hunting for fur.

On clear days, artists sometimes come up here to try to capture this view, a panorama of fields, hills, and mountain. I welcome the sight of an easel set up on the hillside, as I often wake up to a scene of so much beauty that I wish I knew how to paint.
Recently, one artist in particular has frequented these fields. I sometimes catch sight of him, with his paints, in the corner of the field or perhaps at the bend of the road. I stop and we chat. I like to tell him about my digs, the other beauty spots in the area. For every place, there is a story. I tell the stories, and he comes back with a wonderful canvas. This, of course, does my heart good.
There are so many special places. The pond, for instance, is where my husband and I used to swim or row our boat. The water is clear as air, and trees drape their branches over the water's edge. At the far end is an island. Across is a rock the size of an elephant. There are no cottages or cabins — just the water and the trees and the sky.
One day the artist tells me his own story about his efforts to paint near the edge of that pond. "The light was fantastic when I arrived," he says. "The trees on the far side were all lit up warmly. The clouds were like Scotland, all shades of gray." He hurried to set up his gear. And then the light disappeared, the wind came up, the canvas sailed off like a kite.
As he told me about this, I remembered another story, about a Bolivian woman who lived across the road from the pond. She came here to marry an older man. They settled under those pines in a modular home. Inside, the walls were painted turquoise and pink, as if she longed for the warmth of her homeland. Through the trees, they could see the water sparkle.
Soon after, the husband died. The woman was despondent, unable to be alone. The soughing of the pines sounded to her like crying. Along came a man young enough to be her son. Eventually, with heavy heart, the woman sold her tropically inspired house and moved home to Bolivia with her young man. She wrote to me about helping her father run his store in La Paz and of the heartbreaking poverty and the tyranny of the government.
The young man lingered there with her. Every year, another long letter came. Her father had died. The store had been taken from them. The young man had left her. And so on … Endless sadness. Nothing good. Only memories of her place by the pond. And then two years ago, she wrote to tell me that she had received a "gift" from the young man — a baby named Jennifer whom he did not want and whom the mother did not want. This year she wrote to tell me of the difficulties she is having actually adopting little Jennifer, the joy of her life.

Maddux is dealt up the freeway; will it pay off down the road?
PHOENIX -- Greg Maddux, a future Hall of Famer who graced the Padres with his pitching and professionalism, gave them a parting gift when he consented to a trade to the Dodgers that was approved Tuesday by the commissioner's office.
The Padres will get two minor leaguers and salary savings for the 42-year-old Maddux, who was 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA this season.
That's not a king's ransom. Nor is the return nearly as hefty as what the Padres said they would have obtained from the Philadelphia Phillies had Maddux not ruled out a trade to any club outside the West Coast.
But Maddux did the Padres a favor, according to General Manager Kevin Towers.
"Greg was more than willing to stay," Towers said. "He said if you're happy with the players you're getting back, move me. I kind of pushed him. He was willing to stay."
For his part, Maddux joined a Dodgers club that is vying for a playoff berth, something the last-place Padres will not do. Maddux, who said three weeks ago he was happy to stay in San Diego partly because it kept him to closer to his family, still will be near his homes in Orange County and Las Vegas.
Towers said the Padres will pay a "significant amount" of Maddux's remaining $2.3 million in salary. That commitment gave the Padres access to a better grade of prospect.
By Oct. 15, the Padres will choose two Dodgers minor leaguers from a list of five already agreed upon by the two clubs.
"For us, it really wasn't about money as much as making a baseball deal," Towers said. "There's a couple of names on the list we're excited about."
In the clubs' press releases, cash considerations were described as an option, but Towers said they would come into play only if injuries weaken the identified trade list. "Two players will be Padres before Oct. 15," Towers said.
The October deadline will give the Padres extra time to scout the Dodgers' minors leaguers, Towers said. The Padres sought two of the Dodgers' advanced pitching prospects -- James McDonald and Scott Elbert -- but had to settle for lower-level minor leaguers.
Towers said it was unlikely the Padres could have obtained draft-pick compensation for Maddux by losing him in free agency. One obstacle is the pitcher's potential retirement; Maddux told friends in spring training that this probably would be his last season.
"Everything we talked about points to him retiring," Padres ace Jake Peavy said Tuesday.
Both Towers and Peavy said it saddened them that Maddux won't be part of the team. "But I'm excited for him that he'll be on a team that has a chance to win," Peavy said.
Said Towers: "From a selfish standpoint, we'd have loved to have kept him around. From a business standpoint, we did the best deal we could."
Manager Bud Black called Maddux "a great representative of the San Diego Padres."
With 353 victories, Maddux is one shy of tying Roger Clemens for eighth on the major-league list.

If you travel through the seemingly endless sprawl along Route 22, near Watchung, you'll come across a sign announcing "The Blue Star Shopping Center." To most the sign merely distinguishes it from similar retail counterparts to be found up and down the road and around the state.
But to others the "Blue Star" has meaning.
Some of us are able to recall those purple buses of the Somerset Bus Lines that once traveled local roads adorned with stars describing the "Blue Star Line." That "Blue Star Line" has been gone for almost 40 years — one of the many casualties of the consolidation of various bus companies that ultimately resulting in the modern-day NJ Transit.
Back in its time the Blue Star Lines were one of the many colorful buses to be found on the state's roads and highways — some others included the Orange and Black Lines, The Red And Tan Lines, the yellow and red of "The Manhattan Lines," and the blue and yellow of the Asbury Park-Long Branch Lines. Today they are but a memory.But the name Blue Star remains, though few seem to know just what the Blue Star is all about.
So we approached a few stores at the Blue Star Shopping Center for some insight. Everyone was stumped.
Determined to find the owner of the mall, we called the Borough of Watchung, home of the Blue Star Shopping Center. Well, they did manage to supply a phone number for the real estate development company that manages the mall.
A first call to the mall owner produced an intrigued receptionist, but little help in answering the question (we did receive some help later).
So, in this journey into New Jersey, we next ventured onto what used to be called the information highway. Here's what we found:
According to a the Federal Highway Administration of the Department of Transportation, the idea dates to 1944 when the New Jersey State Council of Garden Clubs beautified a 5-mile stretch of U.S. 22 from Mountainside to North Plainfield (The mall's narrative sets this date as 1938). Approximately 8,000 dogwood trees were planted as a living memorial to the men and women in the Armed Forces from New Jersey. The Blue Star, taken from the blue star in the service flag, was chosen to symbolize the memorial because it was used during World War II on flags and homes of families that had a son or daughter in the service. The New Jersey Legislature approved a Joint Resolution on January 22, 1945, designating this highway "Blue Star Drive."
Interestingly, that FHA history also quotes from a period article in the September 1946 issue of Contractors and Engineers Monthly describing the planting project:
"... Most of the planting has been done on a 5-mile stretch between North Plainfield, Somerset County, and Mountainside, Union County. At this location, U.S. 22, or State Route 29, is somewhat west of the commercialized and industrialized east side of the state. So the natural beauty of the countryside is being enhanced by roadside planting ... ."
Clearly, that commercialized and industrialized area eventually outgrew the east side and came to overgrow the rest of the once Garden State. Over time, Interstate 78 came to siphon off most of the inter-city traffic heading west towards Pennsylvania and beyond. But in its time, Route 22 was cited as a model for other similar projects around the country.
As that 1946 article chronicles:
"The project was organized as a demonstration of roadside beautification, to show what could be accomplished through united strength, as a protest against billboards, to educate the public to higher standards of roadside development, and to determine how the National Council could best work with the civil authorities for major achievement."
Now Blue Star Highways can be found throughout America - in places as diverse as New Market, Virginia (I-81); Price Georges County, Maryland (U.S. 50), and a north-south route through Michigan from Indiana to the Upper Peninsula (U.S. 31). The program has also since been expanded to include Memorial Markers and Memorial By-Ways. These markers are used in National Cemeteries, parks, veterans' facilities, and gardens. Through it all, few know that it all started here in New Jersey.
As for Route 22, there still remains a scenic area without stores near Watchung, a historic marker (see attached picture supplied by the mall owner), and some dogwood trees (but how many of the 8,000 still exist is anyone's guess).
And, if you miss all that there's always the Blue Star Shopping Center. It touts a Kohl's, Michael's Crafts, Becker's School Supplies, Shop-Rite, Toys 'R' Us, Kids 'R' Us, Petco, Marshall's and several smaller specialty stores.
But good luck trying to find anyone on site who can tell you about the Blue Star Memorial created by the New Jersey Garden Clubs decades ago.

For Caroline Sunshine, a 14-year-old actress from Tustin, the "A-ha!" moment �" as in "A-ha, I'm making it in Hollywood now!" �" came when she arrived on the set for work and saw her name on back of her very own chair.
"It was just the coolest thing to go on the set and go, 'My name is on a chair!'" Caroline says, laughing at the memory of that August day in Vancouver, B.C. "It's something so basic, but it's something that let's you know you're part of something big."
How big are we talking? Great Dane big.
For Caroline just last summer landed her first movie role in "Marmaduke," which opened on some 3,200 screens on Friday, and that's an achievement very much worth your name on a chair.
It's also a very nice way to celebrate the end of your freshman year in high school, which is what Caroline had just wrapped up on Thursday when we caught up with her to talk about how her dream of acting turned into a big-budget summer movie.
"It's something I've wanted to do for a very long time," she says of her interest in performing. "When I was 3, I started in ballet and I've danced ever since."
In kindergarten, she landed her first lead, playing Goldilocks in a classroom play, then acted with the Orange County Children's Theater, and danced competitively with the South Coast Performing Arts studio in Tustin.
All of that, of course, is quite common for kids. But when Caroline turned 9 or 10, she says she started asking her parents Karen and Thom to let her advance to the next level with an agent and auditions in Los Angeles,
And she was told no way, kid.
"My mom was especially hesitant about getting in the entertainment industry, especially at a young age, because she'd see what had happened to a lot of child stars," Caroline says. "And rightfully so.
"That was probably the biggest obstacle" �" her parents' objections �" "but they've also inspired me to chase my dreams."
But she didn't let it go, and so a few years later �" around the time she entered sixth grade �" Caroline started looking for acting jobs, and almost as soon as she started auditioning landed her first paying part in a commercial for Amazing Alison, a talking doll.
"That was a lucky one, for sure," Caroline says of the speed and ease with which she landed that first job. "But I think what people don't realize is that it's a lot of hard work. It's definitely been a lot of long drives up to L.A. and taking classes and memorizing lines.
"And I've kept up with my dance and my theater at school. It's a long process where you have to pay your dues."
All of which led to an audition about a year ago now for the part of Barbara Winslow, the daughter in the family that owns �" and tries to manage �" Marmaduke.
The first good sign �" getting called back for a second audition �" also led to the first difficult choice: the callback was on the same day that she was scheduled for a dance solo in a national competition at Disneyland, and her mother lobbied for her to go for the dance over the audition.
"I think what my mom saw was that you don't get every callback you go on, so why would you go for something on a whim rather than something you've worked so hard on," Caroline says.

Intense fighting rages in Syria's Aleppo, Daraa
The rights groups and activists said the latest assaults by tanks and warplanes caused two houses to collapse in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, killing at least 14 people. The buildings were in the Al-Sakhour and Qadi Askar neighborhoods, said activist Mohammed Saeed, reached by Skype inside the city.
Aleppo has been the scene of daily battles for several weeks now, with forces loyal to Assad trying to wrest control from the rebels without making much headway.
Saeed also said that fighting raged inside the city with rebel forces making advances in the districts of Al-Jadidah and Maadi Telal, in the northeastern part of Aleppo.
The reports from the activists and groups - the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees - could not be independently verified.
In the southern city of Daraa, birthplace of the uprising, intense fighting between government troops and rebels killed six people, including two children and two women, the activist groups said.
An activist in the Damascus area, El-Said Mohammed, said seven people were killed and at least 70 wounded when government forces shelled the suburb of Moadamiyeh with tanks and mortars. He said some 30 troops along with a tank defected to the rebels' side on Sunday, which may have been the reason for Monday's shelling.
Mohammed spoke by Skype from the greater Damascus area. His information could not be verified, but the Observatory said the shelling in Moadamiyeh killed at least 10 civilians and three rebels.

Hollywood thirsts for young adult films as Twilight ends
Published on Nov 16, 2012 8:50 AM
LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - As vampires Bella and Edward take their last bites on the big screen, Hollywood studios are on the hunt for the next Twilight, a movie that plays on teenage angst and, more importantly, lights up the movie box office.
The first four Twilight movies earned US$2.5 billion (S$3.1 billion) at cinemas worldwide, propelled by passionate fans of a book series about a vampire-and-werewolf teen love triangle. Box office watchers project Breaking Dawn - Part 2 will haul in $150 million at United States (US) and Canadian cinemas this weekend, one of the year's biggest film debuts.
Eager to replicate that performance, studios executives have been trolling through young adult novels with the dream of uncovering the next big blockbuster franchise, paying as much as US$1 million to secure the film rights to the hottest books.
At least four films based on books for teenagers will reach cinemas next year, with young love forced to overcome alien parasites, evil zombies and other supernatural bad guys.

As Greece staggers under the weight of a depression exceeding that of the 1930s in the US, it appears difficult to see a way forward from what is becoming increasingly a Ponzi financed, extend and pretend, "bailout" scheme. In fact, there are much more creative and effective ways to solve some of the macrofinancial dilemmas that Greece is facing, and without Greece having to exit the euro. But these solutions challenge many existing economic paradigms, including the concept of "money" itself.
At the Levy Economics Institute conference held in Athens in November 2013, I proposed tax anticipation notes, or "TANs", as a way for Greece to exit austerity without having to exit the euro (see "Get a TAN, Yanis!" published here last month, for an updated version of that policy proposal). This proposal is based on a deeper understanding of what money actually is, and the many roles that it plays in the economies we inhabit. In this regard, Abba Lerner captured the essence of modern fiat currencies, which are created out of thin air by modern states with sovereign currency arrangements. Lerner's essential insight is contained in the following passage from over half a century ago (and, you will note, Lerner's view informs much of the neo-chartalist view espoused by advocates of what is called Modern Monetary Theory):

Even more fun
- I have always liked ruffles, tiny florals, shiny and sparkly things. What I do is wear the pink velour lounge outfit-with-sparkles-on-the-butt & other assorted girlie items at home only. Ditto 'young' fragrances. I like to look polished when going out, even if it's grocery shopping. I'll gladly wear a dress & heels, but not over-the-top. I ask myself "What can I wear today that makes me feel pretty?" I don't save clothes 'for good', I try and wear 'em. I always wear pretty bras & unders, and that feels good. And I have a teenage sparkly cosmetic bag that I love and no one else sees. Treat yourself.
- —lovethosebudgies
Have some fun!
- I agree wearing harsh/too dark makeup can really age a woman. I am 57 and I've recently started wearing makeup regularly. I'm having fun with eye shadows, and because I wear glasses (new, dark ones!), I can get away with some fun colors, but applied with a light hand. I am very fair but have been wearing gel eyeliner in a lighter black. If I don't my eyes disappear into my head. I stick to tinted lip glosses as I look ghouish with much lip color; as well lipsticks now bleed on my lips. I think that older gals can certainly wear jeans with some sparkly embellishments on the pockets. I got some updated jeans to replace shapeless ones, and I think they look great. Too-long skirts are hard to wear, as well as too short skirts and tight-fitting tops. Covering upper arms is a good idea, but there's no need to be boring in a typical polyester short-sleeved blouse with no special style to it. Personally I think that shirtdresses are dreadful on older women.
- —lovethosebudgies
Fit and Function are most important
- Whatever age you are, the most important aspects of choosing your wardrobe are 1) Does it fit properly? and 2) Is it appropriate and comfortable for where you'll be wearing it? Some things are never appropriate, no matter whether you're 18 or 80, like pouring yourself into something two sizes too small or letting parts of you hang out that only should see daylight on the beach - and sometimes not even then. Have some dignity and self-respect, please! And consider your comfort and mobility when you dress - no one wants to hear you whine about your 6-inch stillettos hurting your feet at the county fair or your miniskirt riding up when you climb to the top of the bleachers at a football game (yes, I've seen both). Other than that, it's all about what you feel good wearing. If I had Cher's legs, I'd go dancing in microminis too.
- —Guest Sue
- anyone over 35 shuold just keep their hemlins to above the knee's never half way up their thighs, it just doesn't fit anymore regarless of how good your legs look and the bare leg only emphisiszes that.
- —Guest Trishia
Older women should never wear:
- Mini dresses and very high heels (dangerous). Also, they should stay away from ORANGE..not a flattering color.
- —Guest Natasha from China, Me
- I agree with most of those tips, but I still love pigtails on any woman. Just save them for summer at the beach or a family picnic, not work or a day with the girls. Also, plastic surgery, not pigtails? Really? I think that screams mid life crises more than anything else on your list.
- —Guest Liz
- Don't compare yourselves to other women your age, each woman is unique and different. Don't be ashamed if you look young for your age...embrace your genes! Leave jealousy alone, its aging...
- —Guest Gracefully
What should a grown woman wear
- I'm trying to figure that out. At 45 I looked 25, and had the body,too. Now, I will be turning 60 and gone from a size 9 to a size 22. I don't know how that happened. My Honey says it's age. I have not been able to do the things I once did to stay in shape. I have been pretty much in the hospital bed for 4 years. I'm having to buy new clothes to fit this fat body and I don't know what to buy. I still want to wear the same clothes I always did. I always wore conservatively but stylish. That is my question, too. Do I buy leggings to wear under tunics? Puffy sleaves? Empire waists? I never had much up top, but I made up for it at the bottom. Now, I'm a barrel. I need a lot of advice.
- —GLHuckaby
If it feels good, do it
- I'm 63, am 5"8", very trim, and I love to look good! I have great boobs and show them off with "reasonable" low-cut tops - not overdone, but definitely sexy! I get many compliments, so my theory is "if you've got it, show it off"!
- —Guest Trudy
share age appropriate tip
- The grandmothers of yesteryear and rare and hard to find just as appropriate clothes in the stores. It seems the buyers are too young and don't know how to choose age appropriate clothes, so 'older' women have little choice but to wear what is availble mini dress, halter tops, clogs. However if you have the body for it - wear it!! There are many young 14 year olds that are obese and wear mini skirts, low cut tank tops - bleached red orange and purple hair - take a look at the parents and you will know where they get their ideas. The mother has no pride -the kdis think it's approrpriate!!! Stores we are an aging population...give us some age appropriate clothes...nobody wants to see wrinkled skin and bony legs!! or obese women in shorts that are too short!
- —Guest guest grandma
- No black stockings with white heels, or vice versa! Panty line under tight pants or skirt. Wrinkled saggy cleavage in low-cut top. Micro skirts if you don't have the legs. Baggy sweat pants or shirt - unless you're at home with the baby.
- —Guest URBewdiful
I'm 47 years old
- and if Willie Nelson isn't "too old" to wear his hair in two braids, so I'm darn sure not.
- —Guest Raya
short dresses
- I think grown women should never wear dresses above the knees, if they do, then they should wear a skinny trouser underneath it.
- —Guest I am Hanna of 43 years
- I am 55 and work in a retail shop . Accessories complete a look and make it possible to wear all kinds of different things together. Shoes, belts, hair ornaments, pins/brooches, earrings, necklaces and watches all contribute. My standard work attire has always started with a nice pair of simple blue jeans, preferably Levis, a simple knit top ...tank or 3/4 or long sleeves, and often a vest. (Vests, by the way, are great for the hot-and-cold moments that happen at this age. Comfortable, not restrictive, easy to take off for a moment, and also a potential accessory, or at least a point of interest.) Anyway, I have found that there are days when my age sort of strikes me over the head and I 'tone down' my accessories because I feel like I should be age-appropriate. I may minimize or neglect entirely the pin(s) and eye-catching jewelry....too flashy. My pins are often sparkly and large. Guess what happens on those days...I am in a slump all day because I look boring dumpy!
- —mspatty808
It's not "all about me"
- To those who say, "to hell with what anybody else thinks, it's all about how I feel," take note. However good one may feel in her own head, the rest of the world is receiving a message by what you wear. And while the sands of fashion, modesty, and "appropriateness" (whatever that is) may shift, there IS a cultural consensus that enables those who can see it to USE fashion to give a message to the world. I'm not making this up; sociologists actually STUDY this. There is a wide spectrum of individuality in good fashion that doesn't scream, "I'm lazy, stupid, desperate for attention and forgot to take my Zoloft." The fact that people don't see themselves objectively in the cultural context says more about them than their wardrobe and makeup do.

i will always be a fan of his, i don't think he will get the belt but i hope he can do good and get a couple wins in there.
Cro Cops back in the UFC and talking on Mustapha Al Turk at UFC 99 in Germany. Dana White has publicly stated that we will likely see this fight televised on the UFC 99 PPV next month. I guess the big question is, will the old Cro Cop show up, or will we witness a last ditch effort for relevance by a out of prime fighter.
Props: "Roy"
i will always be a fan of his, i don't think he will get the belt but i hope he can do good and get a couple wins in there.
UFC HW division is stacking up. nowhere near fedor quality, but it will be tough for crocop to get back in there. he would need to beat kongo just to reestablish himself. kongo basically outkicked him in the first fight. crocop also needs to revenge against gonzaga.
Cro Cop needs to step up " big time " this time or go back to walking his old beat
do u think he can cut weight to fight light heavyweight? even though light heavyweight is stacked already i've always wonderd he seems like a small heavyweight
I predict…Fail.
Cro-Cop is definitely past his prime but he still might be good enough to make his mark in the heavyweight division…that is unless he get's caught with another Gonzaga kick. I am a big fan of his, I hope he does well in the UFC before he ends his career.
i kinda disagree with his comments about it being all mental and that there's not much new he can learn. When randy made his comeback he reinvented himself as a fighter. cro-cops ground game could use a lot more work.
I like cro crop but I don't know if he can hang with the top fighters. I agree with Derek if he could cut down to 205 he could cause a lot of problems in that dividion.

So i've been trying to figured out how to bring muss back into work for a few weeks now.
So I ended up jumping on him in the round yard and getting my friends mum to lead me around a few minutes until I got used to everything. Then I walked around the round yard by myself and he was soo good. So then I left the round yard to a small yard with poles that my friend Michelle was riding in. I walked him around and he calmly took everything in his stride. So about 10 minutes later we went through my friends paddock and into the big arena. Once again he took everything in his stride and we did a tiny bit of trotting(once down the arena side, like 10 metres approx) but he lost his shoe 2 days ago so can't do anything more then walking until the farrier comes out on tuesday. So then we rode them back through michelles paddock over to where the wash bay is, untacked them and went to wash them down. This was where it got bad. Muss hasnt had much experience around washing so he moves alot and im trying to show him not to be scared of it. And I asked my mum, a person whos terrified of horses, to hold him for me. She took his lead and he started moving and I was trying to get him to stop goin in circle but mum wouldnt pull him up and I told her pull him up, stop letting him do that and she freaked that she dropped the lead rope and bolted away, so heres me with the hose on the horse and the lead rope hangin in the air. I grabbed it and tried to do it myself but he kept moving so I asked my friends mum nicely if she could give me a hand. My mum said 'you can do it yourself, stop asking other people to do stuff for you'. So apparently im not allowed to ask for help from a horsey experienced person and mum told me to tie him to the round yard railings and running out of options I decided to try it. So I tied him to it, and guess who got pinned again the railings for about 20seconds when he got a scare from the hose.

Luckily my friends mum came over and helped me and we got him done eventually.
Apart from that though, his first ride in about 2-3 months at a completely brand new aggistment and he did amazing. So proud of him honestly.
